THE STANDARD of adult education in Gloucestershire is on the up, according to the latest Ofsted inspection.
Gloucestershire County Council's Adult Education Service has been given an overall rating of 'good' based on three key areas of review - outcomes for learners, teaching learning and assessment and leadership and management.
The result shows a significant improvement from the previous Ofsted report.
Visual arts came out on top for teaching, learning and assessment and rated as outstanding.
Foundation English, Foundation Maths and Community Learning were rated as good and praised for successfully motivating learners.
Echoed throughout the report was that learners enjoy their courses, develop good personal and social skills as a result and participate enthusiastically in lessons.
Managers and teachers were commended for their commitment to supporting learners to gain jobs.
Progression from courses in English and mathematics to other courses, such as information and communication technology and business administration, and then into employment is high, according to the report.
In addition, the Adult Education Services' work with partner organisations was described as exceptional.
By working with external providers the service ensures the same standard of course at a wide variety of venues.
Highlighted in the report is the provision for those who are anxious about returning to learning after a long period of absence from education or training.
Cllr Paul McLain, cabinet member responsible for adult education, said the success was a result of the hard work and commitment demonstrated by everyone involved.
"Whilst we are celebrating our achievements we will continue to work hard to make sure that we are improving year on year to support adult learners throughout the county to succeed," he said.
"If you are considering taking up a new hobby, studying for qualifications or undertaking training then we would encourage you find out more about the adult education in Gloucestershire."

Support » Themes and Templates » Recent Posts Show up In FF but Not IE… I'm Stuck Please Help!!!
5 years, 8 months ago
Hi all, I have a blog I post to daily and since Nov 27th my new posts are not showing up in IE or Chrome but they show up fine in FF.
If you go into the category where my posts are in IE you can see the new posts there but not from the homepage.
I have been posting to this blog well over a year with no issues.
I suspect it may be something to do with the header menu as I have discovered a problem with it at the same time.
I had a custom menu set up and in my troubleshooting I changed the theme back to the default menu but in all browsers it still shows my custom menu but only on the homepage… once you go to any other page the current menu loaded shows properly.
I tried deleting the custom menu and it still shows that menu from the homepage on all browsers…
My site is at http://bestpanicattackcure.com/blog
Thanks so much for all your help

The fiancee of Liam Hemsworth replaces Bar Refaeli as the hottest female celeb, making a huge leap from last year's position at No. 68 to the top spot.
Miley Cyrus is this year's hottest female celebrity, according to Maxim. The magazine hasn't revealed the annual list for the world's most beautiful celebs that usually comes with a special issue, but the enthusiastic Miley already spilled it on Twitter.
"Didn't know this was coming out yet! I'm so happy to be #1 on Maxims HOT 100! #myfanskickass #dreamsdocometrue," the blonde pixie girl tweeted along with a sexy picture of her taken from the spread inside the upcoming edition of the magazine.
In the said picture, Miley gives a seductive stare at the camera as she's lying on her side propped up on one elbow. She shows off her curves in a gold bathing suit that she paired with some gold jewelry. She applies smoky eye makeup and slicks back her short do.
By taking the top spot this year, Miley has made a giant leap from her last-year position on the list. The former Disney darling only occupied the 68th place in 2012 with Bar Refaeli, Olivia Munn, Mila Kunis, Katy Perry and Olivia Wilde on the top 5 in respective orders.

We cup all green coffee before we buy it. Our sample roaster and brewing lab allow us to evaluate green coffee thoroughly.
Each roast is carefully matched to the specific variety of coffee. There is only one "dark" roast, the rest are different levels of what is commonly referred to as "Full City".
All mail order coffee is roasted specifically for your order, packed in heat-sealed foil valve bags and shipped, in the same day.
We actually answer the phone during business hours and enjoy serving you and answering your questions.
Only two people, Gene and
, roast all the coffee in our Diedrich IR-12 roaster. We've been doing it since 1987.
We do not sell flavored coffee because we prefer the varietal character of each coffee. In addition, flavoring oils are very persistent and contaminate the grinder and containers.

TEL AVIV (Dec. 4)
A bizarre hostage-taking incident in the Soviet Union that ended at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion Airport on Friday won Israel a warm official embrace from the Kremlin over the weekend.
In a rare and apparently sincere show of gratitude by the Communist superpower to the Jewish state, Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze issued a statement commending the Israeli government for handling this "barbaric deed" in a "noble and humanitarian way."
He said it set an example for intergovernmental relations all over the world. The statement was televised in Moscow and reported by Tass, the official Soviet news agency.
The glowing praise was in response to the way Israel dealt, firmly and without bloodshed, with the potentially explosive situation caused by five Soviet nationals who had themselves flown to Tel Aviv in an aircraft extorted from the Soviet authorities in exchange for child hostages.
All were deported back to the USSR Saturday to face trial.
To convey his message to Jerusalem officially, Shevardnadze summoned Arye Levin, head of the Israeli consular delegation that has been in Moscow since September, virtually ignored by Soviet officialdom.
Levin, who had been trying in vain to obtain an audience with any Soviet diplomat above the most junior consular level, found himself face to face with the foreign minister, one of the most powerful men in the regime of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
Even more extraordinary was the presence of television cameras in Shevardnadze's office, recording the meeting for Soviet viewers.
Shevardnadze was quoted by Tass as telling Levin, "We thank the Israeli authorities for showing such goodwill and decisive suppression of the illegal action. Such norms of civilized inter-governmental relations must be firmly established in the modern world."
In Jerusalem, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres expressed appreciation for the message Saturday night. He said he hoped that "ways to deepen the understanding between the two countries" would "soon be found."
He also noted that the consular delegation the Soviets have had in Israel since June 1987 and the Israeli team in Moscow functioned as full-fledged representation. He said he hoped this arrangement would continue.
Israel won praise and respect from many other countries as the world suspensefully watched the latest hostage-hijacking drama unfold.
In the end, Israel got an opportunity to demonstrate its humanitarian side. While agreeing that the hijackers were criminals, it conditioned their deportation on a written pledge, given by Moscow, that they would not be subjected to the death penalty.
The incident began last Thursday afternoon in Ordzhonikidze, a town in the Soviet Caucasus.
Pavel Vakshinitz, a bus driver said to have a criminal record; his wife, Tamara Mikhaelovna Vakshinitz; and three armed accomplices seized a shool bus carrying 30 children and their teacher.
They drove to the town hall, where the bus driver demanded $2 million in rubles and foreign currency, and a plane to fly out of the country. He threatened to kill the children if his demands were not met.
Vakshinitz reportedly demanded an Ilyushin T-76 cargo plane equipped with a ramp to drive vehicles aboard. His intention apparently was to drive the busload of children onto the plane.
But as it turned out, he released the children. The five boarded the Ilyushin jet with two bags of currency, three pistols and a sawed-off shotgun, with which they forced the eight-member crew to follow orders.
The three accomplices were identified as Vladimir Morlovod, German Vishnikov and Vladimir Anastayezev. None of the criminals is Jewish.
Tamara Vakshinitz subsequently was cleared of criminal intent. Soviet authorities affirmed that she had been forced by her husband to board the school bus and then the plane.
According to media reports, the hijackers were considering three destinations: Pakistan, South Africa and Israel. They said they chose Israel "because we heard that last month's elections there had resulted in the formation of an anti-communist government."
Moscow has seemed to be seeking a thaw in relations with Israel this past year. The exchange of consular delegations was the first official diplomatic contact since the Soviets severed ties with Israel in 1967.
Whether the hijacking incident will significantly advance the process remains to be seen.
Israeli envoy Levin, who has kept a low profile in Moscow since his arrival, met for 40 minutes with Shevardnadze Saturday, during which overtures seemed to have been made by both sides, in the opaque and oblique language of diplomacy.
At the start of the meeting, Shevardnadze asked the Israeli if he was not freezing in Moscow's frigid winter.
Levin, an experienced diplomat, replied that the Soviet capital was cold indeed, but there was "much warmth" in it that needs only to be found.
The foreign minister reportedly was pleased with the response and commended Levin for it.
Israel become embroiled in the bizarre incident on Friday morning, when the Israeli Civil A viation Authority received a telexed message from its Moscow counterpart — the first such direct communication in many years. It asked if Ben-Gurion Airport could accommodate a T-76 aircraft carrying "criminals who had hijacked it."
After brief, high-level discussions in Israel, and exchanges of information with Moscow and other capitals, including Washington, permission was given for the plane to land. Israeli air force F-15 jets escorted it to the ariport.
Scores of ambulances and rescue service vehicles stood by as the Russian plane was taxied to a side runway. Armed soldiers and police were ready should weapons be brought into play.
Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the Israel Defense Force chief of staff, Gen. Dan Shomron, had already set up operational head quarters at the airport. Foreign Minister Peres also was directly involved and Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir was kept informed as developments unfolded.
The hijackers gave themselves up without incident and were locked up over night in the Tel Kabir jail in Tel Aviv.
Shamir, in his capacity as interior minister, and in consultation with the attorney general, decided to deport the criminals immediately for entering the country illegally.
Israel has no extradition treaty with the USSR.
By noon Saturday, an Aeroflot Tupulov TU-54 passenger aircraft arrived from the Soviet Union with a crew of technicians, police and medical personnel to pick up the criminals and assist the IL-76 and crew on their return flight.
The crew enjoyed an unexpected holiday, sunning themselves on the Tel Aviv beach.
The one sour note in the entire affair concerned Rabin's reportedly disparaging remarks over the way the Soviet authorities handled the affair. He was sharply criticized by other government officials, including members of his own Labor Party.
While waiting at the airport, Rabin remarked to reporters that "one can only express amazement" at the Soviets' decision to allow the aircraft to leave their country.
"How can a superpower like the Soviet Union allow five simple robbers with four pistols and one hunting gun, when the children had already been freed, when not even one hostage was on the airplane, to leave the Soviet Union?" Rabin wondered aloud.
Similar criticism was expressed by the Israel Airlines Pilots Association. Other officials pointed out that the Soviets, unlike Israelis, have had little experience with this sort of situation.
The captain of the IL-76 said the incident could not be strictly classified as an "aricraft hijacking," because the plane was provided by the Soviet civil aviation authorities and was authorized to leave.
In a footnote to the affair, ultra-Orthodox Cabinet Minister Yosef demanded Sunday that Rabin explain why he allowed "desecration of the Sabbath" in connection with activities around the hijacked plane.

Low NAEP Scores; Ever Higher Taxes Coming?November 2nd, 2011
By Brian Backstrom
Will New York State's poor performance on the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) tests this year lure policy makers into raising taxes?
With the recent federal release of the dismal and stagnant performance of New York students, many of us are waiting and watching for that nexus to emerge. Thankfully, we haven't seen it made – at least not yet – by the usual advocates for tax hikes to fund more education spending, saying that it is really only more public dollars that will equate to better results. At the time of this writing, there is no mention whatsoever of the state's dreadful NAEP results on most of the education establishment, higher spending-type websites.
The results of the NAEP show that only 36 percent of New York State's fourth grade students are proficient in mathematics, down from 40 percent in 2009, and lower than the national average of 40 percent. Eighth grade math results for New York also were lower than the national average. Reading results on the NAEP for New York were comparatively similar for 8th grade. Only in fourth grade reading did the state manage to eke out a score better than the national average. (Eighth grade reading results are here.)
At first glance, the lessening achievement gaps between white students and racial minorities is encouraging, showing a narrowing gap in mathematics since the early nineties. A minute longer look, however, shows that this has more white students doing worse than anyone else doing better.
New York State's Education Commissioner, John King, described the NAEP results as "disappointing and unacceptable," while NAEP director David Driscoll said that New York and two other states "stood virtually still" since 2003.
Before More Money, Reform
One of the loudest chants to tax more has been coming from the state teachers union, New York United Teachers (NYSUT) and the New York City teachers union, the United Federation of Teachers. But does anyone still really believe that higher taxes will bring about better education results? Annual state school aid increases since the 1990s, and especially from 2003 to 2009, did not result in better NAEP scores. That much is clear, and reinforced even more with the release of these latest data.
What should come before any increase in spending is even considered is the institution of stronger outcome-based accountability measures. Such reforms include, but are not limited to: a strengthening the state teacher-evaluation mandates, a system that was neutered by the courts when the union sued to make teacher performance assessment only part of collective bargaining; removing high-cost mandates on school districts and charter schools, especially those unrelated to actually doing a good job teaching children; controlling outlandish pension costs including by creating a Tier VI system for new employees; and, providing more options and the means by which parents with children in bad schools can enroll them in better public and non-public schools.
Let's embrace what we already know: there is not a shred of valid data showing that spending hikes on the public education system as currently structured improves results.
If the proponents of taxing more and spending more on education would show even a whiff of the same zeal for accountability-based education reform, the state is likely to avoid the same shopworn lament about low student academic outcomes two, five, and ten years from now.

Jessica Simpson's breasts at something
Here's Jessica Simpson at the Good Housekeeping Shine On Event in New York last night and I almost want to comment on her weight except I can't stop staring at her chest and thinking about ways to have sex with her that doesn't involve an intimate sharing of hopes, dreams and human emotions. Which is probably the greatest compliment a man can give to a woman that doesn't involve pretending to know she even has feet. "Shoes?! I thought your bodies stopped at the vagi– Well, I'll be…"

A Resident's Reflection on South San Francisco
This month, we feature Gene Mullin, a former Democratic California State Assembly member and former South San Francisco Council member. A lifelong resident of the Bay Area, Gene and his wife, Terri, have lived in South San Francisco since 1967.
This month, we feature Gene Mullin, a former Democratic California State Assembly member and former South San Francisco Council member. A lifelong resident of the Bay Area, Gene and his wife, Terri, have lived in South San Francisco since 1967.
In his words...
While not a native son of South San Francisco, I come close because my family settled in this town 100 years ago come 2016. So elements of the Mullin clan have been either residents or worker-bees in this community consistently for that period. I claim the somewhat dubious right to make some observations of the changes I've heard about, seen, or otherwise experienced during this time.
My grandparents and their children lived on Grand Avenue in the 1916-1924 period when my grandfather operated a blacksmith shop on Linden Avenue. When they moved to San Francisco, my aunt stayed in South San Francisco as a teacher and eventually became the principal of Hillside school. When she retired in 1967, I began teaching in the community, and my wife Terri and I raised our family here.
My experience beginning in 1971 as a planning commissioner gave me a firsthand look into the economic changes beginning in that period. Overseas competition made our heavy industries no longer viable, but the City Council and City Manager were nimble enough to transition to the newly emerging high technology industries. With confidence based on optimism, they used this as a hinge point in the City's history. In fact, as signs proclaim, South San Francisco created the commercial application of life-saving bioscience techniques. Our existing biotech cluster of over 200 companies attests to that foresight.
The post World War II period saw the rapid growth of suburbs and our town was in the forefront of that housing boom. The El Camino Real became the spine for housing and retail growth on both sides of that thoroughfare. The City, heavily Italian in ethnicity for its first 50 years, saw diversification of populations, a trend which continues to the present. Dairies on the hills became Westborough, and infill developments replaced farms and nurseries throughout the town.
We continue to see change to meet the evolving needs of our residents.
We've achieved the difficult tactic of being one of the more progressive communities while still retaining the look, feel and sensitivities of a small town. We've arrived at enviable status not by seeking it, but by doing what the residents have always done: worked hard, played by the rules and by being willing to be creative.
While the architecture and demographics may have changed a bit since we were incorporated in 1908, South San Francisco is still recognizable by our Sign Hill and by the attitudes of those who live and work here.
We'll be around for a while and that's a benefit to a pretty wide swath of the state and country.

Kanye West's girlfriend: I don't get it
Kanye West took his new girlfriend Amber Rose out shopping in Hollywood yesterday because when is it not classy to look like you just picked up a hooker? Some might say this is the kind of thinking that prevents me from getting invited to weddings, but I say it's the kind of thinking that saves me money on a toaster oven – so I can pay for penicillin. Swish!

Anyone out there ever heard of an injury called slipping rib syndrome, also called costochodritis, costochondral syndrome and other names? It's basically inflammation of the connective tissue where your rib attaches to the vertebrae and typically starts from a back injury. Seems not many doctors know too much about it - I am convinced I have it - shows itself as upper back pain and chest pain especially when hunched over or taking a deep breath. I've had back x-rays, rib x-rays, cardio work-ups for chest pain, been to physical therapists, chiropractors - all to no avail except the spinal x-rays showed a slight compression fracture in one of my upper thoracic vertebrae right where the pain is. And it seems impossible to heal especially when you are active and lifting weights or other exercise because those rib joints are constantly in motion even when your only breathing. Last doctor diagnosed costochondral syndrome, said it was probably the rib joint at the sight of the compression fracture, told me I was 38 and I should be happy it didn't happen when I was in my 20's.. Then gave me a prescription for Motrin and sent me on my way. Yea, the Motrin helps, but I don't want to be taking that for the rest of my days, so I basically just live with it. Anyway, looking for any advice on how to deal with this. This is not debilitating pain, but can be quite uncomfortable at times and is always there to some degree. Please help!!
Men's health editors - do some research on this, you'll find it's more common and more misunderstood than most in the medical field realize. Might make a good article.

This ring is amazing! It is described as being H-I, I1, but the certification that comes with it lists it as H-I, SI1. The diamonds are very clear and brilliant and quite frankly "show up" my 1 carat diamond band which I thought would be comparable since it has I1 diamonds. This ring ring is well worth the money.Read More

Apartments can be a strange thing. You may move into a complex that seems perfect for you and your family. You may even enjoy the apartment for a few years, but then things start to go wrong. How do you know when it's time to pack up and move to another apartment? Here are just five signs you should leave your current apartment.
Your Landlord Is Unreachable
A landlord should be on call 24 hours a day. If the water heater bursts, he should be there to cut off the water before your possessions get ruined. If you cannot reach your landlord when serious issues arise, you need to start looking for another apartment.
Repairs Go Unfixed
Repairs should be made in a timely manner, no matter how small they are. If your landlord keeps blowing you off or saying that he'll "get around to it" you need to find a new apartment. Reread your lease and see what you agreed to. If the contract said that repairs would be fixed within so many days, you may be able to break your lease without paying any fees.
The Rent Keeps Increasing
It's normal for rent to increase due to inflation. A landlord may also increase rent after adding something you've requested (such as air conditioning) to the apartment. However, if the rent keeps increasing, while the living conditions keep decreasing, you need to find a new apartment.
Bad Neighbors Are Moving In
Your landlord may begin to have trouble keeping the complex filled due to his poor management skills. This means that he may start renting to questionable people. If you begin to feel that your neighbors are dangerous, or may break into your apartment, you need to look for a new apartment to rent right away.
The Area Becomes Dangerous
When you moved into the complex the area may have been wonderful. However, the poor economy could have caused the area to become run down and dangerous. If there are more break-ins occurring or if people are getting mugged – or worse – you need to move out as soon as possible.
There comes a time when the apartment you're living in isn't right for you anymore. It may be a bad landlord or changes in the neighborhood. Either way, it may be time for you to move on to another apartment that meets you and your family's current needs.
Solomon Bonaguidi lives near the University of Texas in Austin and owns his own rental property. When he was a student, he was amongst the masses looking for cheap UT apartments and having difficulty with landlords and neighbors. Do your homework before you sign any lease and you'll be more than happy.

The End Of Creationism
Posted 14 April 2010 - 11:00 PM
Goose bumps happens when you are sitting near the window and cool breeze comes in and your arms do these funny things: the look like bumps! Those are little muscles in at the base of every hair that contract whenever the nerves feel a cold temperature.
Evolution has the perfect explanation for goose bumps. Millions of years ago, our ape ancestors still had a lot of fur. When it got cold, the muscles would contract, making the fur erect. This would keep them warmer. However, later on in the evolutionary ladder, human beings lost the fur (that's why we're called the hairless apes). Although we lost the fur, we did NOT lose the muscles. That's why we have muscles there with no fur to contract. In biology, we have a name for these types of mutations: vestigial. Vestigial structures in a living organism body (such as ourselves) have little to no effect for the organism and have lost their function through evolutionary history (another example would be our appendix).
Anyway..from the perspective of the creationist, this would seem extremely bizarre. Why would Allah put muscles there but no fur to contract them? hmmm..? =O Did he put it there to test our faith in the quran?
So that's my question for creationists: why would Allah gives us muscles but no fur to contract them? And while you're at it, tell me why Allah put a useless appendix there?
I'd like to hear some peaceful responses.
Peace to all.

I don't know much about anatomy but IMO you are not presenting you argument in a logical way.
You are presenting a problem on the topic of evolution and offering a hypothesis, not an answer and if not challenged by a better hypothesis then you are concluding that religion must be false.
It is like me saying: God created everything so that we can know Him. Therefore God created goosebumps. What does atheism tell us about the meaning of life?
I hope that makes sense. There are literally billions of unanswered questions that science cant answer.

I presented the facts of goosebumps and evolution's flawless explanation for why they exist. I was trying to point out that if God had created hair muscles with no hair to actually erect, then it would strong evidence against creationism.
I'm just curious as to why religions just can't pause for one moment and think about the beauty of nature through the eyes of science and stop to wonder what an awesome god theirs would be had he made everything the way science tells us, and not some ancient book written by a bunch of dessert sheep herders.
Instead all we see is tribalism. The 'book' is more important than reality. That's religion's problem: the evil of dogma.
Posted 22 April 2010 - 03:59 AM
Perhaps find an anatomy forum and see if there are any creationalists there who can answer your question.
Posted 23 April 2010 - 04:22 AM
Such a thing has occured in the past where around 50 years ago scientists proposed humans maintained over 100 vestigal organs, unfortunately that number has reduced to only a handful and according to many scientists zero.
The vestigial organ argument assumes that there is absolutely no possible way for there to be alternative uses for the organ and it assumes we have perfect knowledge of the organ and science has reached its limit in understanding the skin.

Or maybe it's cause Goosebumps and the appendix! are still useful!
All those muscles still create a considerable amount of heat when contracting, so yes, there still is a purpose to them. Hey, they may even be a purpose for them that we don't even know about.
And we are recently getting information that appendix is useful because it provides hormones in fetal development to train the immune system. Not only that, but it's also suggested that help harbor growth of helpful bacteria in our intestines.

I've given up on this argument. Creationists will just believe what they want to believe or what makes them feel comfortable, and their process, their thinking goes from irrational to just plain sad. So I don't bother with reason or evidence any more when it comes to evolution.
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

I always lose every debate before I even begin because I don't realize who I'm debating with. There's no point debating with religious people, they're never going to change their minds; they've been brainwashed as children. It's not an insult, it's a fact.
I could have presented my arguments and you could have presented your wonderful links and I'd be pleased to debate with you all month long, but I'd just be degrading my keyboard. Hence my quote:
"You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into". You weren't reasoned into Islam, you were brainwashed into it.
Also, that creeping doubt of yours will never go away.

I find this extremely stupid. I reasoned myself into Islam and so have the other millions of converts and non converts, unlike what you'd like to believe. It's obvious you show no effort to understand, so I suggest you just leave this forum and live on with your narrow minded life.

I'll quote two excerpts here, one from Harun Yahya, and another from Answers in Genesis.
Yet another blow to the myth of vestigial organs
Darwinism considers all life on Earth as a product of chance mutations and natural selection and, as an a priori commitment, excludes intelligent design. In order to argue against design, the Darwinist mind seeks for flaws in the biological systems. From Darwin to Dawkins, over and over, this dogmatic stance has led the evolutionist to insist on the existence of imaginary flaws and "useless" vestigial organs in living systems. However, over and over, these bold claims by evolutionists turned out to be manifestations of ignorance. The allegedly vestigial organs were discovered to be performing very important functions and the whole "vestigial organ" argument turned out to be a fallacy.
The history of science documents a steady reduction in the number of the so-called vestigial organs. The allegedly non-functional organs, one by one, turned out to be organs whose functions had not yet been discovered. A list of vestigial organs that was made by the German Anatomist R. Wiedersheim in 1895 included approximately 100 structures, including the appendix and the coccyx. As science progressed, it was discovered that all of the organs in Wiedersheim's list in fact had very important functions. For instance, it was discovered that the appendix, which was supposed to be a "vestigial organ," was in fact a part of the lymphatic system. A medical publication notes in 1997 that "other bodily organs and tissues - the thymus, liver, spleen, appendix, bone marrow, and small collections of lymphatic tissue such as the tonsils in the throat and Peyer's patch in the small intestine - are also part of the lymphatic system. They too help the body fight infection." (1)
It was also discovered that the tonsils, which were also included in Wiedersheim's list of vestigial organs, had a significant role in protecting the throat against infections, particularly until adolescence. It was found that the coccyx at the lower end of the vertebral column supports the bones around the pelvis and is the convergence point of some small muscles and for this reason, it would not be possible to sit comfortably without a coccyx.
In the years that followed, it was realized that the thymus triggered the immune system in the human body by activating the T cells, that the pineal gland was in charge of the secretion of some important hormones, that the thyroid gland was effective in providing steady growth in babies and children, and that the pituitary gland controlled the correct functioning of many hormone glands. All of these were once considered to be "vestigial organs." Finally, the semi-lunar fold in the eye, which was referred to as a vestigial organ by Darwin, has been found in fact to be in charge of cleansing and lubricating the eye.
The steady reduction in the list of vestigial organs results from the fact that this is an argument from ignorance. Some wiser evolutionists also came to realize this fact. S.R. Scadding, an evolutionist himself, once wrote in his article "Can vestigial organs constitute evidence for evolution?" published in the journal Evolutionary Theory:
Since it is not possible to unambiguously identify useless structures, and since the structure of the argument used is not scientifically valid, I conclude that "vestigial organs" provide no special evidence for the theory of evolution.

The classic definition of a vestigial organ is an organ or structure in an organism that is not functional, but is derived from an ancestor that had a use for that organ or structure. Creationists understand that there has been degeneration and mutation since the Fall. We also expect that there would be a significant loss of information for many genes. The loss of genes for organs that do not significantly impact survival in a negative way could be quite prevalent. Thus, for the creationist, there should be no problem with an organ or structure in man that has lost some functionality. However, another possibility is that we have just not determined or understood the function properly yet.
Creationists that I know do not deny that there are organs in man that have lost some of their functionality. However, they do reject the notion that those organs were inherited from a common ancestor with apes or other animals. Evolutionists typically point to these presumed non-functioning organs and insist that they are evidence that we evolved from a common ancestor with more primitive organisms. Just because humans have organs with reduced functionality does not really count as evidence of common ancestry. This is perhaps because God created Adam and Eve with those organs, but they have lost some functionality in their descendants.
The second vestigial organ on the New Scientist list of vestigial organs is goosebumps. In many animals, this reflex that causes hair to stand erect is used to generate warmth. It can also make the animal appear larger as happens when a cat's fur stands on end when it is frightened. Goosebumps are a natural response to cold or high emotions. There is nothing really wrong or dysfunctional about the small erector pilli muscles that cause the bulge of skin as the hair stands erect.
The classification of goosebumps as a vestigial organ stems from a revised definition of vestigial. According to the New Scientist article, it is not necessary to be completely functionless. If an organ or response is reduced compared to its ancestral version or takes a slightly different form, it can be considered vestigial. Under the revised definition, because human hair is "puny" and the thermoregulatory impact reduced, goosebumps can be considered vestigial.
Once again, this example must assume that humans share a common ancestor with animals in order for goosebumps to be considered vestigial. In this case, there is no evidence that the goosebump response has been reduced from that of our human ancestors.
At best, evidence of vestigial organs in man demonstrates deterioration and loss of information since the Fall. They are evolutionary relics of common ancestors with animals only if you begin with evolutionary presuppositions.

How to Tell if You're a Professional Composer
Earlier this month I was asked by a man who identified himself as an amateur composer to play his "Variations on Happy Birthday" for a videotape to be given to a friend of his as a birthday present. As he was paying, and I had the time, I agreed to do it. Over the several days I spent practicing, I had plenty of time to think about what it might mean to be an "amateur" composer.
Can we all agree that, in this culture, "professional" definitely has it over "amateur"? And yet, while I'd definitely consider myself a professional-level composer, I can't say I've made much of my living at it. I know lots of composers with benches on that same boat. So…?
Well, the "Happy Birthday man" (as my wife referred to him) didn't read music—this whole fifteen-minute piano solo had been transcribed by a colleague of mine, who had in turn referred him to me. Reading music is not a requirement, though—exhibit A is Irving Berlin, of course, one of the best-selling composers of all time. And, without having any idea of the actual statistic, I'd venture that there are lots and lots of people making and selling music without being able to read a note these days—maybe more than can read music.
But these variations were variations "in the style of"—mostly late romantic and early 20th-century music. I heard (and he and I talked about) Chopin, and Brahms, and Prokofiev and Copland, and I'm pretty sure I spotted a little Lizst, and who knows, maybe Shostakovich. This is what "Happy Birthday man" listened to, and this is the music he wrote.
Well, that must be the difference. We professional types are all trying to carve out individual sounds, to find our own voices.
When I was in school in the early 80's, there was a definite orthodoxy about what kind of avenues you could travel down in search of your own voice. I distinctly remember being told not to try and write a rondo; being scoffed at for presenting a piece with a key signature; and generally being made aware that Real Composers didn't write tonal music. I also remember our teacher addressing the composers' symposium on the subject of the heretic George Rochberg, who had recently, after an perfectly respectable atonal career, begun writing music that sounded a lot like Brahms. His final comment: "I hope none of you grow up to become little George Rochbergs."
As I understand it, this attitude has pretty much all gone away. While the imperative to find one's own voice is still there, tonal centers, and even keys, are admissible parts of the toolkit. It was with this in mind that I recently decided to write a sonata for cello and piano. It uses sonata form only in the broadest sense of two theme groups, a development and a recapitulation; having gotten to this age and weight—and developed my own voice thus far under the influences I have—I'm not about to start modulating to the dominant. But it's been a strangely liberating experience.
Except of course, if I wear my other hat—my musical theatre songwriter hat—I have no idea what the fuss is about. In that culture, yes, it's a good thing to have an identifiable voice—except that if a show demands it, and many do, pastiche is the order of the day. While we were mixing the demo of All About The Kids at PPI studios, Chip, the engineer, an old friend, was teasing me about the various past-their-glory rockers I was obviously channeling. (Chip has recorded and mixed my music for over two decades, from my attempts to write for Muzak to my Emily Dickinson songs for string quartet and soprano. But his favorite sessions were the ones to record and mix my songs for Country Critter Jamboree, a big-headed-costumed-character show for a now-defunct amusement park in Massachusetts. To this day he refers to me as "Mr. Critter.")
In closing, a cartoon I clipped years ago on the subject (the stains are not part of the original; this is what happens when something gets kept on my desk for years):
Maybe it's not so bad to be an amateur after all…?

PG&E Corp.
Dividend Yield: 4%
Next on the list is electric utility PG&E Corp. (NYSE:PCG). One might not normally think of a producer of electricity as being particularly socially responsible, but PG&E generates more than half of its power from non-greenhouse-gas-emitting sources — 24% comes from nuclear, 16% comes from hydroelectric and another 16% comes from other renewables like wind and solar.
The company even generates a modest amount of power from bovine emissions. Yes, you read that correctly. They harness the methane put off by cow manure.
Even the company's more mainstream sources are moderately green. Natural gas, which accounts for 20% of PG&E's output, is certainly cleaner than coal or petroleum.
True enough, California's strict green energy standards have a way of creating energy shortages in the state and driving up costs. There is something to be said for the "more is better" approach of my native Texas.
Nevertheless, PG&E has an energy portfolio that even a tie-dyed hippy from Sausalito could approve of.
PG&E pays a healthy 4% in dividends, so investors can enjoy a nice income stream while saving the environment.

What State Leads the World in Prison Population?
What state leads the entire planet in throwing people in the slammer?
What state leads the entire planet in throwing people in the slammer?
It began with a conjugal visit, and ended with a bold attempt at a prison break.
Nineteen-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona used the privacy of the conjugal visit room in a Mexican prison to stuff her common law husband Juan Ramirez Tijerina -- who is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession -- in a suitcase.
Last week, James Verone walked into an RBC bank –sans gun – with a robbery plan. However, unlike most bank robbers, his plan did not involve walking out with loads of cash.
Instead, the 59-year-old North Carolina man actually wanted to be arrested so he'd have access to prison healthcare provided by the government.
There's a reason men don't like to ask for help.
A prisoner who escaped from the Olympic Corrections Center in Washington State was captured Wednesday after he knocked on the door of a resort cabin in the woods, only to find out a guard who works at the facility was renting it.
Three inmates at the Cape May County Correctional Center in New Jersey wanted their drugs so badly, they used a children's coloring book to sneak them into their prison cells. We hate to give criminals so much credit, but the whole process was undeniably ingenious.
With the help of two civilians, the inmates painted numerous coloring books with what looked to be water color, but was actually a liquid version of a drug called Suboxone. They would have gotten away with it, but in February officers at the correction center were tipped off and began testing the books for drug substances.

Locals protest mineral prospecting in McGregor Bay
26 November 2013
Locals protest mineral prospecting in Schedule 4 protected area McGregor Bay
The Green Party is calling on the Government to send a clear message to Sea Group Holdings Limited that it will not be allowed to carry out its plans to dredge mine tailings in in the Schedule 4 protected area of McGregor Bay.
Coromandel residents and their supporters are today trying to stop Sea Group Holdings Limited from carrying out mineral prospecting activities in McGregor Bay.
"Sea Group Holdings Limited has made it clear
that it intends, after prospecting, to dredge the inner
waters of the Coromandel currently protected under Schedule
4, and the Government needs to tell them it will not be
allowed," said Green Party mining spokesperson Catherine
"Energy Minister Simon Bridges has made it clear that Sea Group Holdings would be required to obtain a mineral mining permit in order to dredge mining tailings in the sediment of McGregor Bay, and now the Minister must assure New Zealanders that he won't ever grant such a permit.
"This company clearly thinks this Government will allow them to dredge for minerals in Schedule 4, which is off limits to mining, but the Government could save concerned locals and environmentalists a lot of heartache by categorically out the granting of a mineral mining permit in McGregor Bay.
"We are worried because the National Government appears to be prepared to re-write history and break their promises about protected land and mining. Why else would they let companies prospect for minerals on land off-limits to mining?
"This peaceful action today is to highlight to the National Government and Sea Group Holdings Limited that New Zealanders love and want to protect our national parks and wild places; we don't want to see them dug up," said Ms Delahunty.
• Question: Catherine Delahunty to the Minister of Energy and Resources (31 Oct 2013): Does dredging mine tailings from sediment require a Crown Minerals Act permit as well as a RMA consent?
Hon Simon Bridges (Minister of Energy and Resources ) replied: A permit under the Crown Minerals Act, as well as a RMA consent, would be required to dredge mine tailings from sediment if the tailings are to be dredged for the purpose of mining as defined in the Crown Minerals Act 1991, http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/pb/business/qwa/QWA_14255_2013/14255-2013-catherine-delahunty-to-the-minister-of-energy
• Question: Catherine Delahunty to the Minister of Energy and Resources (15 Nov 2013): Are minerals in a sediment from mine tailing considered to be a mineral existing in its natural state in land as defined in the Crown Minerals Act 1991?
Hon Simon Bridges (Minister of Energy and Resources) replied: Yes (answer not published yet)

The Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SMEs) Promotion and Development Office and the Food and Drug Department have certified four factories as models of the Five Standards (5S) and of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) after starting the project a year ago.
Representatives from four factories, C and A Bakery and Food, Mavita Drinking Water, Veunkham Iodised Salt, and Lao-Indochina Tapioca received certificates on Wednesday marking the official end of the project.
The project began in November last year and has been funded by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The scheme also received help from experts at the Asian Productivity Organisation and is scheduled to close at the end of this month.
The goal of the project is to increase efficiency in food and drink production management by raising cleanliness and safety standards in order to protect consumers. The project inspects factories and approves those with good practices as models of manufacturing and production.
The project also builds and strengthens the capacity of technical staff at the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Promotion and Development Office and the ministries of Commerce and Industry and Health to provide consultation services for SMEs by using the 5S and GMP principles.
The project has also encouraged factories to reduce their impact on the environment, safely use machinery and equipment, and to properly store their documents.
The certificates were presented by the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Promotion and Development Office Director General, Mr Somdy Inmyxai.
Productivity is a measure relating a quantity or quality of output compared to the input required to produce it, he said.
If a factory is productive, it will have good administration and employment policies as well as high-quality environmental management to ensure the plant's sustainability, he added.
Mr Somdy said the four factories have taken the lead in the 5S and GMP and are now good models for other factories in Laos.
The year's experience from the project has increased the understanding of the standards needed for good manufacturing practice among factory managers and owners in Laos. They can now lead their staff to develop their own policies and workforce, he added.

Article 203 of the UAE Civil Transactions Law allows parties to agree to seek arbitration for any dispute that arises between them in a given contract, and sets the rules for such agreement. However, since the agreement to arbitrate includes giving up the right to seek court review of the essence of the dispute, the legislators required for it to be expressed in writing.
Additionally, the Court of Cassation has stated that "the agreement to arbitrate is not established unless the common intent of the contracting parties is set on it." We take a look at one of the cases where the parties had both an arbitration clause and a clause given Dubai Courts jurisdiction, and how the Court of Cassation resolved the dispute.
Facts of the case
Two Dubai trading companies (the "Claimants") filed a commercial action with the Court of First Instance against another local company (the "Defendant"). The Claimants requested the Court to order the Defendant to pay them the amount of AED 2,765,253.82 as compensation for breaching a services contract which they had executed.
The Claimants argued that on 1 March 2008 they had concluded a services contract with the Defendant to prepare and carry out interior design works, and to develop the Claimant's private hotels. The Claimant further submitted that the Defendant had failed to adhere to its obligations as stipulated in the contract, delivered the assigned work late and delivered a defective work product which was below the standards recognized by the hotel industry. As a consequence, the Claimants terminated the contract.
Due to the fact that the contract contained in Article 13 an arbitration clause ("the Arbitration Clause"), the Defendant requested the Court to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction. The Claimants argued the same contract contained in Article 14 ("the Dubai Courts Clause") a clause which allowed either party to seek an order from the Dubai Courts for any dispute that arises out of the contract.
Court of First Instance
The Court of First Instance ruled in favor of the Defendant and dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. The Claimants subsequently appealed the decision.
Court of Appeal
The Court of Appeal upheld the lower's court decision. The Claimants appealed to the Court of Cassation.
Court of Cassation
The Claimants argued that the Court of Appeal had erred in its decision to uphold the lower court's decision in that reliance had been placed on the Arbitration Clause of Article 13 of the services contract instead of the Dubai Courts Clause of Article 14 of the same contract. The Claimants submitted that the Dubai Courts Clause gave Dubai Courts the jurisdiction to oversee any dispute arising out of that contract.
The Court of Cassation interpreted Article 203 (1) and 203 (5) of the Civil Procedure Law (CPL) to mean that if parties agreed to arbitrate a dispute it shall not be possible to initiate an action before the Court. If, notwithstanding the arbitration clause, one party did file an action in Court and the other party did not object at the first hearing, then the Court would consider the arbitration clause as void and take jurisdiction of the case. However, if the other party did raise an objection at the first hearing, the Court should dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction.
The Court held also that arbitration is a final and binding form of dispute resolution which is conducted outside the usual forum (i.e. the local courts). The Court clarified however, that what the parties intended to be meant by "dispute" should be clearly specified in the arbitration deed.
With regards to the conflict between the two clauses the Cassation Court stated that the court looking at the essence of the dispute has the authority to ascertain the facts of the case, the agreements of the parties and the common intent of the parties. Any decision taken by such court, as long as it is supported by sound reasoning based on evidence provided, is not subject to review by the Court of Cassation. The Court then proceeded to review the factors considered by the lower courts as follows:
Given that these factors were supported by the evidence and the lower courts relied on them in their determination, the Court of Cassation upheld their judgment and the Arbitration Clause.

"Obviously for India, the horn is a category in itself. You take a European horn and it will be gone in a week or two. With the amount of honking in Mumbai, we do on a daily basis what an average German does on an annual basis," Perschke was quoted as saying to a source.
He claimed that horns for Indian vehicles are specially adapted for the local conditions. Audi is a leading carmaker which is seeking a major share in the Indian luxury car market.
"The horn is tested differently - with two continuous weeks only of honking, the setting of the horn is different, with different suppliers," Perschke added. He further added that so many Audi owners in India have personal chauffeurs that car interiors have been redesigned so that "you can be more in command from the rear seat."
According to the National Crime Records Bureau data, more than 1,33,938 people died on India's roads in 2010, 366 deaths per day. We appreciate Audi for adapting to local conditions and thereby enhancing the safety of its passengers as well as others on road.

Navigation aids, buoys out of county lakes
Washington County boaters should be aware that navigation aids and buoys have been removed from county lakes for the season, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Boaters are reminded to use extra caution when traveling unfamiliar waters. Because recent cool weather has caused lake water temperatures to drop significantly, boaters and their passengers are encouraged to wear life jackets at all times.
Navigation aids and buoys will be placed in county lakes before the 2013 fishing opener.

Appalachians defense recorded 15 tackles for loss on the afternoon, nine of which came on third downs. Seven of the 15 TFL were sacks. The Mountaineer defense also forced three turnovers.
Senior insider linebacker Brandon McGowan (Suwanee, Ga./North Gwinnett) and redshirt freshman defensive back Treyon Garnett (Miami, Fla./Miami Beach) intercepted passes for the first two turnovers while the final one came on a vicious hit by redshirt freshman George Vinson (Damascus, Md./Damascus) that jarred the ball loose from junior running back Eric Davidson (Greensboro, N.C./Western Guilford).
McGowan finished with a tackle for loss to go along with the interception, which he returned more than 50 yards for a touchdown. Junior defensive lineman Ronald Blair (Greensboro, Ga./Greene County) added a tackle for loss and a pass break-up and true freshman linebacker Eric Boggs (Belton, S.C./Belton-Honea Path) chipped in with two TFL and a sack to help lead the defensive effort.
Offensively, sophomore Doak Walker Award candidate Marcus Cox (Dacula, Ga./Dacula) made the most of his limited opportunities with a 36-yard run and 20-yard reception.
In the first-team offenses only live series, incumbent starting quarterback Kameron Bryant (Cary, N.C./Panther Creek) led the Mountaineers on a four-play, 58-yard scoring drive by completing a seven-yard pass to true freshman Jaylan Barbour (Monroe, N.C./Monroe) on third-and-10 and a 51-yard touchdown strike to junior Bobo Beathard (Haymarket, Va./Battlefield) on fourth-and-three.
Bryant completed 9-of-16 passes during the scrimmage and redshirt freshman Taylor Lamb (Calhoun, Ga./Calhoun) connected on 10-of-15 throws while leading the second team. True freshman Isaiah Lewis (Simpsonville, S.C./Hillcrest) led all receivers with four catches while Beathard had three receptions and Cox, junior Malachi Jones (Roswell, Ga./Central Gwinnett), sophomore tight end Barrett Burns (Woodstock, Ga./Etowah) and true freshman Jordan Noil (Duluth, Ga./Norcross) added two apiece.
Appalachian State returns to the field on Thursday for its first two-a-day practices of the season. Practices are slated for 9:15 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at Kidd Brewer Stadium and are open to the public. Admission is FREE.

MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Two years ago Libby Trickett's depression was so bad she could barely drag herself out of bed before she rediscovered her love of swimming and a desire for more Olympic medals.
Standing below a big countdown board showing seven days to go before London 2012, the 27-year-old Australian could not have entertained the possibility of adding to her six Olympic medals in the dark days following her retirement in late 2009.
"It's been such a crazy journey and certainly in 2010 I couldn't have imagined going to London," the triple gold medallist told Reuters in an interview on Friday at the Manchester Aquatics Centre where her team have been training.
"Swimming was so beyond my mind at that point...I couldn't see a way out of where I was at that time.
"It got as bad as I didn't want to get out of bed some days, you don't enjoy anything really, you don't really see the point in doing anything because you lack any sort of drive or joy or lightness. It just all felt very dark and heavy."
A gold medallist in the 100 butterfly in Beijing four years ago, she will not get the chance to defend that title as she is only competing in the 4x100 freestyle.
Her battle with depression has provided her with a new perspective that she believes will help her adjust to competing as part of a team rather than as an individual.
"That whole journey allows me to understand myself better and I think in turn makes you able to be more compassionate towards others," said Trickett, whose effervescent smile betrays none of her demons.
"I'm still competitive but I'm less aggressive about it I guess. I feel like I can support people in their journey but as well take care of what I need to do to the best of my ability so I think it's a really good marriage in that respect.
"I'm excited to be able to race in that heat team and just make sure our girls are in that final."
She is enjoying embarking on her third Olympics with a more laid back approach even if the desire to succeed has not waned.
"You have an intensity when you are younger that you kind of can't see out of, you have the blinkers on ... and you kind of can't see the broader spectrum that is life," she said.
"That's probably the coolest thing about the position I'm in now. I have a much more worldly view of who I am and what I do and how as awesome as being at the Olympics is, it's not everything."
While there are no plans to hang up her goggles again anytime soon, Trickett thinks she will be better equipped to deal with it second time round.
"I wasn't ready to retire at that point (in 2009) but I couldn't see myself swimming on, if that makes any sense," she said.
"I know that next time I will be in a better position because when I retire it will be for the right reasons and not just because I'm kind of fed up with the sport or feel overwhelmed by the whole thing.
"At this point I can see myself swimming on after London. I have no plans to retire and I'm still very excited by the possibility of swimming on."
Making a comeback is easier said than done as her compatriot Ian Thorpe discovered when the five-times Olympic champion failed to qualify for this year's Games after coming out of retirement.
Trickett put her successful return down to her break being less than a year compared to Thorpe's six-year absence.
"I'm lucky, I'm a sprinter and I didn't spend quite as much time out of the water and I think even I probably missed the window by four or five weeks," she said.
"It's what's exciting about the comeback journey, you lay yourself on the line, you make yourself very vulnerable but it's exciting and challenging."
