The Emery County Historical Society held their second Annual Antique Road Show at the Museum of the San Rafael.
President Evelyn Huntsman announced elections for Historical Society Officers would be held in January. She also announced that Wade Allinson would make a presentation about the history of cowboys and their names on the rocks under the ledge during the January meeting.
Huntsman explained the Pioneer Museum had earlier in the day decorated the museum meeting room as an example of an early day Christmas with antique items. The Pioneer Museum, in their display, included an easy chair, a floor lamp with a colorful cloth shade, a Victrola Phonograph, a tree with home made decorations, a red velvet couch, a sled with steel runners and a fireplace with stockings hanging from it.
Joyce Staley announced that the out of print "Emery County History" book is available on CD for $10 during this meeting and the CD will be $15 next year.
Many members brought their favorite treats for the taster's table and when the meeting started, the taster's table was loaded with a variety of treats for all to sample when the Antique Show ended.
Huntsman started the meeting with the group singing Silent Night. Ed Geary was selected by Huntsman to be the Master of Ceremonies for the evening. Geary invited those who brought antiques to come forward one at a time and tell about their antique item.
Don Roper was one of the first to come forward and held in his hand a so-called monkey wrench. He said the wrench was forged in the USA by a man by the name of Monkey. It was found in a toolbox that came with an early Ford. The wrench could be used to turn bolts and the handle was used with the car jack that raised the car up.
Kathleen Conover displayed two items received from her grandmother. One of those was an 1891 hymnbook and the other was a long leather purse in which her grandmother used to keep her money handy.
Paul Conover told about the colorful plaid shirt he was wearing. It was a heavy cotton shirt made by Levi Straus many years ago. He also displayed a stockman's pocketknife given to him by his father 60 years ago. This type of knife, he said, is used by ranchers for many things such as docking calves or cutting a wattle on the neck or ear of a calf for identification purposes.
Gail Miles in her antique display had a book from her grandmother's estate. The book had a white cover and Gail explained the book was an original "Whitehouse Cookbook" made in 1887. The wives of several US Presidents included their recipes in the "Whitehouse Cookbook." There were only about 100 White House Cookbooks made. Gail Miles also displayed her father's ancient radio that used vacuum tubes to make it work. Gail's father was using this radio in 1936. She said the radio still works.
Kit Anderson showed the group how his antique wooden butter churn worked by turning a crank that moved wooden paddles inside the churn. Butter is made by churning cream until the cream separates into butter and buttermilk.
Derald Oliver told about his old pressurized gas lamp that used white gas and cloth mantels to produce enough light to light up a room. The lamp was used in his home in the late 1930s
Elwin Rasmussen showed photos of antique automobiles that he had restored over the years. Until he retired he worked as an auto mechanic and garage owner for many years in East Carbon. He now has seven restored antique cars in his garage in Castle Dale. Some of the cars are as old as 1928 and they all run. Elwin is willing to give tours of his garage and discuss the cars if asked.
Trina Branson represented Claudia Kenny who has an extensive glassware collection. Claudia had on display several pieces of Vaseline Glassware illuminated by an ultraviolet light that made the glass glow green. Trina read a brief description about Antique Vaseline Glass.
Antique Vaseline Glass is a yellow or yellow-green glass that, when put under ultraviolet light, turns a beautiful, fluorescent green. To get the yellow color, glassmakers added between one-half to two percent uranium dioxide, or uranium salts, to their formula. Vaseline Glass will actually set off a Geiger Counter, but the radiation involved is low and not harmful.
In the early 1800s a pair of Vaseline Glass candlesticks were given to the Queen of England made by White Friars Glass Works in London. Vaseline Glass was popular in the 1920s and 1930s.
Geary explained that the only commercial use for uranium was for coloring paint and glass. In the early days the uranium miners in the San Rafael region were after radium and they discarded the uranium into the mine dump. At the end of the second world war when the government started buying uranium the miners took dump trucks down to Temple Mountain and gathered the uranium from the mine dump in order to haul the uranium to the smelter.
Mary Bentley indicated that she was born and raised in Beaver Utah and her daughter has lived in Emery County for 35 years. Mary showed the group a picturesque map of Emery County and a newspaper from the Beaver Press with a photo of her niece who joined the Air Force forty years ago. There was also a picture of Interstate 70 going through the San Rafael Swell. The newspaper she displayed had pictures of several favorite country singers from that era.
Huntsman discussed her old butter bowel, paddle and butter mold used by her grandmother. She said, when you are making butter you churn the cream until you have butter and buttermilk. You pour out the buttermilk and then using the paddle mold the butter into a shape for putting the butter into a butter dish on the kitchen table.
The wooden butter mold she displayed would hold one pound of butter. Some butter molds had a carved design built in for decorating the butter. If the butter were sold in the store the design would identify the butter maker.
Suzanne Anderson has a spoon given to her by her mother and was told that it came from her Winchester line of genealogy. Winchester is the name of the people that owned the Winchester gun company. Josephine Winchester brought the spoon across the plains. It was given to Suzanne's grandmother Hardman and then down to Suzanne's mother.
Paul Cowley showed a sickle found on the farm his grandfather homesteaded and where Paul now lives. A sickle is a handheld agricultural tool with a curved blade typically used for harvesting grain or hay. He also had an old tarnished silver fork found near East Carbon.
Lori Ann Larsen received from a friend a collection of cattle ear tags found with a metal detector in Emery County. One small-framed collection had ear tags from 1947 to 1958. The ear tags were used to identify the ownership of cows.
Connie Christensen displayed her grandmothers brown purse made entirely of wood with cloth covering.
She also had the songbook of her grandfather from 1938. Titled "The One Hundred and One Best Songs."

9th Grade Pilot Fat Dogs and Coughing Horses 2012
Developed by:
Joe Ruhl: Lafayette School Corporation, Lafayette Jefferson High School
Jenny Veatch: Crawfordsville High School, Crawfordsville Community School Corporation
The 9th grade biology curriculum is already full and teachers often feel pressured by trying to cover everything during the course of the school year. With that in mind, this 9th grade biology unit was designed not to be an "add-on", but rather to provide a new and exciting way to teach standard concepts that biology teachers already teach. With this unit, biology teachers will still teach concepts such as the scientific method, the use of compound and dissecting microscopes, animal diversity, life cycles, cells, biochemistry, and the social implications of the biological sciences. The only difference is that this unit will enable teachers to teach these concepts with a real-world, practical application approach and by using examples from veterinary and human medicine. Relevancy is a natural with this unit because kids have a heart for their pets. Kids have firsthand (sometimes painful) familiarity with sickness, medications, and medical procedures both in their pets and in themselves and their family members. Our belief is that this relevant, practical approach will help kids to better learn biology and to better understand the role that animals play in keeping people healthy.
Please see Academic Standards for a list of the Indiana Academic Standards met by this curricula.
The goals of this project are to teach 9th grade biology students the role animals play in keeping people healthy by:
1. Helping students appreciate that all organisms – humans and other animals such as dogs and horses – are made of the same "stuff" (cells, macromolecules, and molecules).
2. Helping students to understand that because of the commonality and relatedness of all life, pharmaceuticals produced for humans can be tested on non-human animals, and medical procedures perfected in non-human animals can then be applied to us, making for healthier pets, livestock, and humans.

Academic Standards
9th Grade Health and Wellness Standards
|Document how personal behaviors can impact health.
|Explain the interrelationships of emotional, social and physical health.
|Formulate ways to prevent or reduce the risk of health problems.
|Summarize the benefits and barriers to practicing healthy behaviors.
|Examine individual responsibility for improving health.
|Illustrate a variety of healthy practices that will maintain or improve health.
9th Grade Biology Standards
|Recognize that and explain how the many cells in an individual can be very different from one another, even though they are all descended from a single cell and thus have essentially identical genetic instructions. Understand that different parts of the genetic instructions are used in different types of cells and are influenced by the cell's environment and past history.
|Explain that every cell is covered by a membrane that controls what can enter and leave the cell. Recognize that in all but quite primitive cells, a complex network of proteins provides organization and shape. In addition, understand that flagella and/or cilia may allow some Protista, some Monera, and some animal cells to move.
|Know and describe that within the cell are specialized parts for the transport of materials, energy capture and release, protein building, waste disposal, information feedback, and movement. In addition to these basic cellular functions common to all cells, understand that most cells in multicellular organisms perform some special functions that others do not.
|Understand and describe that the work of the cell is carried out by the many different types of molecules it assembles, such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
|Show that a living cell is composed mainly of a small number of chemical elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur. Recognize that carbon can join to other carbon atoms in chains and rings to form large and complex molecules.
|Understand and describe that all growth and development is a consequence of an increase in cell number, cell size, and/or cell products. Explain that cellular differentiation results from gene expression and/or environmental influence. Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis.
|Understand and explain that, in biological systems, structure and function must be considered together.
|Understand that and describe how the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment is required for the continuation of life and explain how stability is challenged by changing physical, chemical, and environmental conditions, as well as the presence of disease agents.
|Recognize that and describe how the human immune system is designed to protect against microscopic organisms and foreign substances that enter from outside the body and against some cancer cells that arise within.

Lesson 2: Compound Microscope Lab
Many people use microscopes daily. Lab technicians, doctors, and veterinarians use them to diagnose diseases in people and in animals. Even though it's been around for years, the microscope is still one of the best "windows" into the world of disease.
"Micro" means tiny, "scope" means to view or look at. There are many different types of microscopes. The compound light microscope is the most common instrument used today. It contains two lenses which magnify and a variety of knobs to resolve (focus) the picture. It is a rather simple piece of equipment to understand and use. In this lab, we are going to learn the proper use and handling of the microscope.
- Demonstrate the proper procedures used in correctly using the compound light microscope.
- Prepare and use a wet mount.
- Determine the total magnification of the microscope.
- Develop a checklist to ensure proper handling of the microscope.
- Understand the importance of microscopes as a diagnostic tool in many careers.

Lesson 3: Freshwater Invertebrate Lab
Another one of the tools that can be useful in both veterinary medicine and human medicine is the dissecting microscope. This microscope (normally a binocular scope) doesn't have the magnification powers of a compound microscope. It can be used, though, to study organisms that are macroscopic, yet still too small to see with the unaided eye. In this lesson we will help students learn to use a dissecting microscope by searching for tiny freshwater invertebrates in samples of pond water.
In addition to the materials listed in the student lab entitled "Hunting for Freshwater Invertebrates", you will need to collect a couple plastic buckets of pond water. It is best to collect water from a quiet swamp that is covered with an abundant growth of duckweed and full of luxuriant aquatic plants. Early fall or spring would be the best time to do this activity. Also listed in the materials section of the student lab is an item known as a foam-well slide. These slides will need to be constructed before the students do the lab. For instructions on how to make the foam-well slides, refer to the following web site:
- Demonstrate the proper procedures used in correctly using the dissecting microscope.
- Prepare and observe a petri dish of pond water using the dissecting microscope.
- Identify common pond water micro invertebrates that are related to invertebrates that can cause diseases in humans and other non-human animals.
- Activity 3-1: Some Freshwater Invertebrates You Might Find for each student or group
- Activity 3-2: Hunting for Freshwater Invertebrates for each student or group
- Dissecting microscopes
- Foam-well slides
- Pond water
- Computer and projector for PowerPoint presentation "Fresh Water Invertebrates" (Large PDF ~ 75 MB)
- Hand out the lesson notes entitled "Some Freshwater Invertebrates You Might Find" (Activity 3-1)
- Point out to the students that dissecting microscopes can be very useful tools in both veterinary and human medicine. Explain that they will learn to use these instruments by taking a safari through pond water to discover the secret lives of tiny creatures that most people don't even know exist.
- As a preview to the pond water lab activity, go through the PowerPoint presentation entitled "Fresh Water Invertebrates" (Large PDF ~ 75 MB) with the students. It may be helpful to make an overhead transparency of each page of the lesson notes entitled "Some Freshwater Invertebrates You Might Find". You could then use a two-screen presentation, helping the students fill out the lesson notes on the overhead projector on one screen while showing the PowerPoint presentation on the second screen. This presentation is designed not to teach students everything there is to know about freshwater invertebrates, but to familiarize them with some of the fascinating tiny creatures that they will encounter in the lab. They will be amazed at what they will discover, and at the same time, they will master the use of the dissecting microscope.
- Have the students do the lab entitled "Hunting for Freshwater Invertebrates" (Activity 3-2).
- Take a look at the instructions for how to construct your own Pour Person's Plankton Net at: http://www.eeob.iastate.edu/faculty/DrewesC/htdocs/toolbox-II.htm. This will enable you to concentrate fresh water micro invertebrates so that your students are sure to see them!

Lesson 4: Tiny Invertebrates That Can Make Our Animals (and US!) Sick
Now that your students have been introduced to the invertebrate world, it's time to show them some relatives of their benign little freshwater invertebrate friends who aren't so friendly.
- Observe examples of various invertebrates that can cause diseases in humans and other non-human animals.
- Explore the life cycles of disease-causing and disease-carrying invertebrates.
- Prepare a poster that illustrates the life cycle of a disease-causing or disease-carrying invertebrate, and make a presentation of that life cycle to the rest of the class.
- Preserved samples of a tapeworm
- Prepared slides of mites
- Prepared slides of deer ticks
- Microscopes
- Poster board or chart paper

Tapeworm Proglottids Comparison, w.m. 30-6610 (Z970) Burlington, NC: Carolina Biological Supply Company.
- Prior to the lab, set up various stations with worm samples, prepared slides and microscopes.
- Explain to students that they should observe the specimens carefully at each station. In their notebooks they should then write down which group of invertebrates they think the specimen is related to (reference lesson 3, Activity 3-1).
- After the students have been through all the stations, discuss as a class which groups of invertebrates they think each of the specimens is related to and why. The discussion should be directed to ensure the students realize that closely related organisms share similar characteristics.
- Assign each group a specimen from today's learning stations. Have each group do some Internet investigating to learn about the life cycle of their assigned organism.
- Each group should design and produce a poster illustrating their organism's life cycle. The poster should include a title (which includes the name of the invertebrate), a picture of the life cycle, and text to describe the life cycle and what types of organisms it can infect.
- Examples for research could include, but are not limited to: Deer Tick, Toxocara Canis, Toxascaris Leonine (or any other type of roundworms found in animals), Dirofilaria immitis (heartworms found in dogs), tapeworms, whipworms, ear mites, etc.
- Have each group present their poster and teach their organism's life cycle to the rest of the class.
- Following the presentations, hold a discussion with the entire class focusing on the following questions:
- What did the different life cycles of the disease-causing organisms all have in common?
- Which organisms cause disease directly?
- Which organisms transmit (rather than cause) disease?
- For each organism, what are some ways that infection could be prevented?
- What are some ways that infection can be treated or cured?
Lesson 5: Deer Ticks-Tiny inverts that transmit Lyme Disease!
Now that your students know something about invertebrates that can make humans and animals sick, it's time to look closely at one example-Lyme disease which is transmitted by the deer tick. Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. It is known as a spirochete because of its long, corkscrew shape. Ini this lesson, your students will carry out a simulated ELISA test for antibodies in the simulate blood of several "patients".
- Using a simulation kit, perform an ELISA assay to test several fictitious patients for Lyme disease.
- Deer tick/Lyme disease student poster from Lesson 4
- ELISA Simulation Kit (Lyme disease scenario, page P-2)
- ELISA Simulation Student Guide (Student guide comes with the Carolina Biological Supply Kit)
ELISA Simulation Kit. Burlington, NC: Carolina Biological Supply Company.
- Pull out the poster produced by the group that reported on the deer tick/Lyme disease cycle (from Lesson 4).
- Tell the students that sometimes in veterinary medicine and in human medicine, a doctor will need to draw a blood sample from the patient to test for the presence of certain suspected disease-causing organisms. Ask the students the following question:
- When that blood sample goes to the laboratory, what kinds of tests are done on the sample?
- Tell the students that today they will learn about one test that can be performed to check for Lyme disease infection.
- Using the ELISA Simulation Kit, have the students work through the lab activity using the ELISA technique to test the blood samples of several "patients" for Lyme disease.
- As a follow-up to the lab activity, have the students work in groups of three on answering the questions in the student guide part of the kit.
- Pose the following questions and comments to the students:
- Do you think this same blood test (ELISA test) would detect Lyme disease antibodies in non-human animals such as deer or cows?
- The answer is "Yes!"
- Why would this same test work on humans as well as other animals?
- Humans and other animals are made out of the same stuff! In the next lesson, we'll find out just what that means.
- Do you think this same blood test (ELISA test) would detect Lyme disease antibodies in non-human animals such as deer or cows?
Professional Development Video for Lesson 5
Lesson 6: All Living Things are Made of the Same 'Stuff'
Back in Lesson 2, not only did the students learn how to use the compound microscope, they also learned just how similar the cells of different (seemingly unrelated) organisms are when viewed through the microscope. Now that the students are aware of the similarities of all living things on the cellular level we'll go even deeper than that-to the level of the organelles that make up cells.
- Students will begin to discover similarities between humans and other organisms
- Activity 6-1: Dear Fido (or Max, or Sophie, or Buddy, or Molly), How am I like Thee? Let me count the ways
- Activity 6-1: Teacher Answer Key
- Dog anatomy computer simulation (created by Dr. Hannon from Purdue Veterinary Medicine)
- Activity 6-2: How the Cell Works
- Activity 6-3: Building Models of Molecules
- Computer and projector for PowerPoint entitled "Cell Organelles"
- Electron micrographs of fibroblast mitochondrion of Humans(.pdf), Dogs(.pdf) and Horses(.pdf)
- Activity 6-4: Cancer (Teacher Notes)
- Activity 6-4: Cancer
- Computers with Internet access for students to use in "Cancer" activity
- Printout of the Colorado State cancer article from Activity 6-4 (unless students will look it up on their own)
- Gumdrops and toothpicks for molecule activity
- Small stickers or masking tape for labeling skeletons
- Dog skeleton (Lake Forest Anatomicals)
- Dog skull (Carolina Biological Supply Company)
- Human skeleton (Lake Forest Anatomicals)
- Human skull (Carolina Biological Supply Company)
- Chimp skull (Bone Clones Inc.)
- Begin a discussion with the students about the similarities between humans and other organisms.
- Humans can catch Lyme disease and, as we have learned, the same bacterium that causes the disease can survive in other animals as well. Many disease-causing organisms can infect both our animals and us.
- How is that possible? [Because we and our animals (dogs, horses, etc.) are made of the same "stuff".]
- Just what does that mean? (It means we and all other living things are made of cells. But it goes much deeper than that.)
- The cells of all living things contain the same miniature working parts called organelles. The kinship of all life on earth goes even deeper than that. The cells and organelles of all living things are made up of the same kinds of molecules, and it's a good thing! Because we and all other living things are made of the same "stuff", drugs and medicines produced for animals can be used on humans as well. Drugs and medicines produced specifically for humans can be tested on animals and we can be confident in the results of those tests.
- In this lesson we will look closely at the anatomy, cells, organelles and molecules that make up not only humans, but our non-human animal companions and other living things.
- Hand out the "Dear Fido" activity (activity 6-1) to each student or group. In this activity students will be comparing dog and human skeletons.
- Using small stickers or masking tape, label the following bones on the dog skeleton (do NOT include the names on the labels, just the letters):
- A = radius
- B = humerus
- C= cranium
- D = femur
- E = tibia
- F = pelvis
- G = fibula
- H = ulna
- I = patella
- J = phalanges (forelimb)
- K = scapula
- Using small stickers or pieces of masking tape, label the following bones on the humanskeleton (do NOT include the names on the labels, just the numbers):
- 1 = pelvis
- 2 = cranium
- 3 = patella
- 4 = humerus
- 5 = ulna
- 6 = scapula
- 7 = radius
- 8 = femur
- 9 = phalanges (hand)
- 10 = fibula
- 11 = tibia
- Introduce the activity by asking the students the following questions:
- Do you have a dog?
- How well do you know your dog inside and out?
- How well do you know yourself inside and out?
- In this activity we will investigate some of the similarities between dogs and humans, specifically as seen in the skeletons.
- Give students Activity 6-1 and instruct them to follow the directions.
- Give students Activity 6-2 and instruct them to follow the directions.
- As a follow-up to the "How the Cell Works" activity, show the students the PowerPoint presentation entitled "Cell Organelles". In this presentation you and the students will be looking at electron micrographs of key cell organelles in cells of dogs, horses and humans. Compare the fibroblast mitochondrion of Humans(.pdf), Dogs(.pdf) and Horses(.pdf) created by Dr. Ron Hullinger from Purdue Veterinary Medicine.
- You might want to incorporate a guessing game into the presentation. See if the students can guess which organisms the different photographs came from. The will soon discover that on the level of cells and organelles, it is very difficult to tell a dog from a horse to a human.
- Have the students do the activity entitled "Building Models of Molecules" (Activity 6-3). In this fun, hands-on activity the students will build models of biologically important molecules. Students will use different colored gumdrops to represent atoms and toothpicks to represent the bonds holding the atoms together in the molecules.
- As a follow-up to the "Building Models of Molecules" activity, choose one of the posters of molecules produced by one of the student groups.
- Hold up the poster and discuss the importance of each kind of molecule with the class. Some possible discussion questions or comments may include:
- Why is O2 important?
- Where does O2 come from?
- Where does CO2 come from?
- Take a look at glucose. Where does glucose come from?
- When plants manufacture glucose (photosynthesis) where do you think they get the carbon atoms that eventually end up in the glucose molecule?
- Where do you think they get the hydrogen atoms?
- Why are amino acid molecules important?
- Using children's plastic, linking building blocks of various colors (to represent amino acids), demonstrate how proteins are built by linking the building blocks together end-to-end.
- Why are protein molecules important?
- Point out that the antibodies that they learned about in the ELISA lab are actually protein molecules (long strings of amino acids). Remind the students that there are millions of different kinds of protein molecules in all the living things on the earth, and that these proteins are all made of different combinations of just 20 different kinds of amino acids.
- Tell the students that because all living things are made of the same kinds of molecules, drugs and medicines produced for humans can be tested on other animals. In the next series of lessons we'll take a look at how drugs can be developed and tested on experimental animals. Drugs can then be given to humans and our non-human animal companions.
- Hold up the poster and discuss the importance of each kind of molecule with the class. Some possible discussion questions or comments may include:
- This unit should come after discussing the cellular components and the cell cycle in detail. This lesson is very self-directed and will need very little teacher direction, if the students have a clear understanding of the cell cycle prior to introduction of it.
- The first part of Activity 6-4 entitled "What is Cancer?" is a web quest that has students research the very basics of cancer using the Livestrong and Cancer.org websites.
- After doing the Cancer web quest, students should then do the second part of the activity titled "How is Fido Going to Help People?" This lesson will illustrate how cancers detected in people's pets are used in research to not only treat/cure the animal, but to also find treatments and cures for people. Cancer research centers, like the one at Purdue University, rely on the data that is gleaned from scientists who study animals and their diseases.

Lesson 7: Ethics/ Animal Testing/ Drug Development
You may want to use the Think-Pair-Share technique for discussing the readings in this lesson. A description of Think-Pair-Share is located at http://www.readingquest.org/strat/tps.html.
- Using online and print resources, the student will become aware of the ethics involved in animal testing.
- By viewing a video produced by Eli Lilly, students will answer questions about the procedure and importance of the drug development process.
- Using the knowledge gained by the activities in lesson 7, students will write a well developed paragraph defending their views on ethics, research and development for a given scenario.
- Activity 7-1: Of Cures and Creatures Great and Small
- Activity 7-2: Ethics and Biology
- Activity 7-3: Eli Lilly Video discussion questions (one per group)
- Activity 7-3: Teacher Answer Key
- http://www.readingquest.org/strat/tps.html
- Ethics and Animal testing (.pdf)
- Arrange for a guest speaker to visit the class (lab animal veterinarian or researcher)
- Introduce the lesson to students by saying:
- We just discussed how organisms are similar in many ways. The reason drugs and medical treatments designed for humans can be tested on non-human animals is because we are all made up of the same "stuff". But sometimes controversy arises…
- Have students read "Of Cures and Creatures Great and Small" (Activity 7-1)
- After reading discuss the questions from the reading:
- What is animal testing?
- Give some reasons why animal testing is necessary.
- Who might be against animal testing and what are their reasons?
- Share your personal opinion and feelings on animal testing.
- Have students read "Ethics and Biology" (Activity 7-2) and answer the question.
- At this time it might be appropriate to discuss the readings.
- Invite the guest speaker to discuss ethics with the class.
- Break the class into small groups to discuss the video and give each group a printout of the discussion questions (Activity 7-3).
Lesson 8: Cloning
Cloning can be a hot topic for students because its futuristic uses and abuses have been the subject of numerous science fiction films and even some comedies. Your students may have a little background knowledge of cloning, and they certainly will have some misinformation on the topic! In this lesson, students will learn about why it is so important to use laboratory animals that are genetically similar, and how cloning can be used to provide genetically identical copies of laboratory research animals.
- Using the University of Utah's Learn.Genetics website, discover the details of cloning, and clone a laboratory mouse in the website's virtual cloning laboratory.
- Explain how reproductive cloning of laboratory animals could be beneficial in experiments involving in vivo testing of pharmaceuticals.
- Activity 8-1: Cloning
- Computers with Internet connection for Cloning activity
- In discussion with the students, refer back to previous lessons on the importance of laboratory animal testing in medical research. Ask the students the following questions:
- When testing drugs or other medicines on laboratory test animals, why is it so important to have animals that are genetically very similar?
- (Answer: In experiments of any kind, it is important to attempt to control all variables. If all of the research animals in a test group were different, there would be too many uncontrolled variables. If all of the animals in a test group were similar, we could be more confident of the experimental results.)
- Why is it that all pedigreed German Shepherd Dogs are so alike genetically?
- (Answer: German Shepherd Dogs – as all other breeds of dogs – have been selectively bred over many generations to be purebred.)
- It's true that all German Shepherd Dogs are very similar, genetically, but no two German Shepherd dogs are EXACTLY identical (except for identical twins) in every little molecular detail. How COULD identical, exact copies of German Shepherd dogs (or any other living thing for that matter) be produced?
- (Answer: Reproductive cloning.)
- Wouldn't it be great if we could create genetically identical copies of laboratory test animals (rats or mice for example) using the process of reproductive cloning? Then when it comes to animal testing experiments, all those pesky little variables could be controlled, and we could be even more confident of our test results.
- When testing drugs or other medicines on laboratory test animals, why is it so important to have animals that are genetically very similar?
- Introduce the students to the Internet activity entitled "Cloning" (Activity 8-1). This fun, highly interactive website will engage the students and help them learn about the history and the techniques involved in reporductive cloning.

After falling behind in both region basketball games last week, the Spartans of Emery High finished with a flurry but neither time were they able to turn that into a win. After scoring only 32 points in the first three quarters against Juan Diego, Emery scored 24 in the fourth quarter but still lost the game 65-56.
And then almost identically the same thing happened against Delta. Emery only scored 19 points in the first three periods but then scored 25 points in that final period but still lost the game 61-44.
Both games last week followed the same pattern. Emery led after the first period in each game as the Spartans played solid defense and kept their opponent at bay. They led 9-8 against Delta and 7-5 against Jan Diego.
Emery went down in both second quarters. Against Juan Diego, Emery trailed 19-18 at the end of the period to still be close but against the second ranked Rabbits, Emery only scored 4 points while allowing 16 to put themselves in a hole against a talented team.
The third quarter of each game saw the Emery opponent stretch their lead as the Spartans again were outscored. At Juan Diego, Emery lost the period 20-14 and at home against Delta, Emery lost the period 11-6. Emery actually lost both of the fourth quarters when they scored all those points as they fouled to get into the game and their opponents actually sank free throws.
After the Delta game, Coach Jeffs talked about shooting percentages for the night, "We have got to shoot the ball better, I thought that might be the strength of this team." For the Delta game, Emery shot 38 percent from the field and 23 percent behind the 3-point strip. Coach Jeffs did not think that was satisfactory for this team.
Emery was 13 for 34 from the field and 5 for 21 from behind the line. Emery did shoot 75 percent from the free throw line but that is deceptive because Emery only shot 4 free throws in the Delta game. Those free throws came with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter. For awhile, it appeared that Emery would shoot no free throws in the game.
Against Juan Diego, Emery did not shoot the ball much better. From the free throw line, Emery was only 3 for 6 in the first half and 17 for 28 in the second half.
Nevin Jensen was the offensive star in both games. Nevin finished with 24 points against Juan Diego and 22 points against Delta. He had strong fourth quarter performance in each game. Against the Eagles, he scored 14 second half points and against the Rabbits, he scored 15 second half points. Nevin is only a sophomore.
Karson Jensen had a strong rebounding game against the Eagles. He finished with 16 for the night as he could be seen time and again soaring high.
Also scoring against Juan Diego were Dempsey Jeffs with 13 points, Karson Jensen with 12 points, Jordan Gee with 7 points and Brett Mecham with a point.
Against Delta, Jeffs finished with 10 points while Gee, Karson and Cameron Hansen each finished with 4 points.
The Spartans will continue looking for their first region win this week when they host Carbon on Wednesday and travel to North Sanpete on Friday.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Don't go there. Ryan Pickett doesn't want to imagine more injuries. Not right now.
"We don't want any more injuries," the Green Bay Packers defensive end told USA TODAY Sports. "I don't want to have to answer that question."
Understandable. It's getting rough around here. A team slammed with injuries suffered even more in a 31-17 win Sunday over the visiting Arizona Cardinals.
Outside linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring), wide receiver Jordy Nelson (ankle) and right tackle Bryan Bulaga (hip) — three core players — all left the game. The extent of their injuries is unknown.
The bye week couldn't come at a better time.
BOX SCORE: Packers 31, Cardinals 17
Either way, this is all déjà vu for the Packers. In 2010, the Super Bowl year, injuries hit hard and unlikely heroes emerged. Now, that's what these Packers are searching for. Granted, the competition of late has been vanilla. Jacksonville and Arizona are crumbling. But the Packers must be encouraged. First- and second-year players are filling the gaps.
And at 6-3, the Packers are in striking range. Injuries aren't costing them. Cornerback Tramon Williams says this year has been tougher. More starters are going down.
Yet so far, it's been a 2010 repeat.
"We've got some important people hurt right now," Williams said. "But we're getting guys in for experience. Guys are showing up. Down the stretch we'll need that."
On Sunday, rookies Casey Hayward and Mike Daniels made plays on defense. Running back Alex Green rebounded on offense. And reserve Evan Dietrich-Smith even stepped in at left guard when T.J. Lang swung to right tackle.
Think back to April. General manager Ted Thompson — after drafting six defensive players with his first six draft picks — stood at the podium and said this was all a coincidence. Thompson vowed he followed his draft board. Period.
Right ...
The all-defense approach might be the biggest reason the Packers have stayed afloat. With Charles Woodson (collarbone) sidelined another four weeks or so, second-rounder Casey Hayward has become the secondary's playmaker. First, he had the four interceptions in three games. On Sunday, he deflected a pass that was intercepted by Erik Walden deep in Cardinals territory. And his fourth-down break-up effectively ended the game.
In the slot, Woodson used his instincts and ball skills to torment quarterbacks. While he has given up the occasional completion, Hayward has also been around the ball in constant, Woodson-like fashion.
That's where the Packers need him.
"Casey's one of the guys who picked up the defense well," Williams said. "He's playing in different positions and doing an excellent job at it. Obviously he has a nose for the ball. He's out there producing at the same time. So we'll need him in the long run also."
Two rounds later, Thompson didn't need to draft Mike Daniels. The Packers had traded up in the second to take Jerel Worthy. But Thompson did anyways. Depth on the front line was sorely lacking in 2011. With Worthy (concussion) out Sunday, Daniels was disruptive. The short, stocky, all-hustle defensive end dropped Cardinals quarterback John Skelton for a 10-yard loss.
"It's next man in," Daniels said. "That's why they breed us here the way they do. They teach us that if somebody goes down, you always have to be ready, always have to be prepared. You have to pay close attention to detail during the week so when your number does get called, you're ready."
It's been the same story on offense. Green, mired in a three-game funk as the lead back, had 78 total yards. Typically reserved, he admitted afterward that criticism directed at the running game motivated him.
Yes, the Packers' 2010 Super Bowl run will be most remembered for Aaron Rodgers, for Matthews, for B.J. Raji, for that message Woodson had for the president. But several mid-season replacements glued that team together. Undrafted rookies such as Sam Shields and Frank Zombo were difference-makers. James Starks, in hibernation much of the season, provided instant balance in the playoffs.
Maybe the Packers are seeing the same effect now. Not too long ago this was a 2-3 team in utter shock at Indianapolis. A rookie quarterback erased a 21-3 deficit to stun the Packers…and back-to-back road games stared the Packers in the face.
The injuries piled up. The Packers responded. And even as the Chicago Bears keep winning and winning, the Packers stayed in striking range.
Nothing new in Green Bay,
"It's always tough losing the type of guys we have lost so far," linebacker A.J. Hawk said. "But if you think about it, what are our options? We're not going to mail it in, we're not going to quit. So we have to roll with who we have in. Guys we have rotated in have done an amazing job so far.
"We have to fight through it."

How a Conception Pillow Can Increase Your Chances
Many fertility experts recommend that women who are trying to conceive should, after sex, remain in a position that encourages her partner's sperm to pool against her cervix - usually on her back with her pelvis elevated. Instead of stacking an unsteady pile of pillows under you, there's now a special pillow designed just for baby-making!
The conception pillow is contoured to fit a woman's body and usually features side handles to allow for easy positioning. It also heightens the angle of the vagina to tilt downwards towards her cervix.
Many experts, including Dr. Christopher Williams, MD, reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist with the University of Virginia, recommend their patients raise their hips and lie still for 20 minutes after sex, and use this positioning with their artificial insemination patients. Esteemed sex therapist Dr. Ruth, in her self-title pregnancy guide, recommends "the woman should continue to lie on her back with her pelvis slightly tilted upward for ... 20 to 30 minutes."
A study published in the September 2000 issue of Fertility and Sterility and conducted at the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada shows that the position of a patient after intrauterine insemination can have a significant effect on pregnancy rates. In the study, 116 couples with unexplained infertility were studied. Those who remained lying on their backs after insemination had a much higher pregnancy rate per cycle than patients who got up immediately after the procedure.
Several companies sell conception pillows, one of the most popular of which is The Conception Curve Positioning Pillow which is made of polyurethane foam and covered in hypoallergenic satin that has a water-resistant backing for easy clean-up.
While positioning is not usually a concern for the average couple trying to get pregnant, if you are struggling, this could make all the difference. So give a conception pillow a try - it may make your baby dreams come true!

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
A question was raised at the September Emery County Public Lands Council concerning attendance at the meeting by the Bureau of Land Management. In the past year the BLM has only attended the November 2012 meeting and the February 2013 meeting. This is a concern since 72 percent of the land in Emery County is under BLM management. Council member Sherrel Ward wondered what can be done to encourage the BLM to attend. Public Lands director, Ray Petersen said he would contact the field office director for the BLM and ask that a representative be sent to the public lands council meeting each month.
Chairman Ed Geary said the August meeting was a field trip to the forest to view the damages one year later from the Seeley fire.
Petersen said there is no greater resource than the forest. The watershed is the most important resource we have and without it you couldn't live here. An annual field trip to the forest will be planned. Petersen said this field trip really showed the power of the water and the flood events in the canyon. The council learned some valuable information. He also said he talked with two men from the Utah Geological Survey and their findings are on their website and in their publication called Field Notes. They collected information from the higher country and it's very interesting. Vegetation is coming back into the burn areas. Where the dead spruce were the vegetation is sparce. A lot of sediment is being washed down the river in each storm event. The Emery Water Conservancy District prepared the lunch which was served at Old Folks Flat. The question is still being asked as to whether structures should be rebuilt after each flood event and if funds are available to do it.
Ward mentioned when the flood events come all the water is turned down the river and it runs off because the irrigators can't use the water with all the sediment because it damages equipment.
Commissioner James Nelson said Huntington is lucky they can let the water go, because if it were Millsite or Joe's Valley the sediment would go right into the reservoir.
The bid for the construction of the debris basin in Huntington Canyon was awarded to Nielson Construction. They are waiting for drier weather to proceed.
The council discussed the recent meetings with Rep. Jason Chaffetz and Rep. Rob Bishop. They believe Rep. Bishop has gained a new appreciation for what Emery County has done. Staff members also went on a field trip in the Swell and looked at Emery County lands.
Geary said Ray Petersen did a good job fielding questions from the participants on the field trip.
Ward said it appears to him the other counties are far behind Emery County. Randy Johnson said, "Other counties are far behind they can't compare with what Emery County's been doing. There is a substantial difference. Jason and Rob will take the wishes and wants and craft a bill from that into the best possible legislation. They will keep the integrity of Emery County's process."
Mistie Christiansen, lands council member said she asked the question of bringing the integrity of Emery County's language into a draft bill when the Representatives held their meeting in Castle Dale. Rep Bishop acted like he was not aware of Emery County's language when his response to Christiansen's question was, "we don't have a bill, there is no language."
His reaction confused grazers and others who thought Emery County had clear language on grazing as well as language on other land issues.
Wade Garrett, from Rep. Chaffetz office said yes, that was a frustrating statement by Rep. Bishop who has since been informed on all Emery County has done to date. Rep. Bishop wants the bill to be made up of the language Emery County has developed in their ongoing process.
Johnson said the confusion comes he thinks from wording. There isn't a draft bill, there isn't a working document. Nothing has been written yet. Emery County has language which it hopes will be integrated into the bill. He's hopeful the draft language will maintain the integrity of what Emery County has done and will keep the language whole and move it along.
Council member Rod Player wondered if they are going to let other things bog us down.
Johnson said he is confident in the process and in the partnerships that have been formed with the representatives and their staffs. He has full expectations that the grazing, water concerns and other issues will be included. "Be patient, they have a huge amount of respect for Emery County's process," said Johnson.
Christiansen said the perception many took away from that meeting was this is a brand new process and previous meetings and information collected now have no bearing.
The Washington delegation said they would be happy to meet with grazers and explain where the county is in the process and how things will proceed. Geary said it would be helpful to have a meeting with grazers because it's been awhile since they heard anything and they may be detached from the process. He said all they can do is keep trying to educate people and keep them informed.
Slate Stewart said one issue the grazers are having trouble with right now is the SITLA tradeout lands. The grazers are concerned their SITLA grazing lands will be lost. They want to be able to maintain their access and be able to maintain water structures.
Petersen said they don't want to nail everything down, but some things need to be done in a broader spectrum. The county has a map of the proposed SITLA tradeout lands and Petersen and Mike McCandless, economic development director have a meeting next week with SITLA. The ongoing activities in these areas will continue. The county has volunteered to GPS the cattle trails and water structures so this information can be included with any draft language and also as a tool for assessments on allotments which continue through the BLM. A BLM representative at one time told Petersen maybe only 2/3rds of these cattle trails and water structures were recorded. Petersen stressed how important it is to inventory what's on your allotment.
Wilderness doesn't eliminate grazing.
New BLM managers interpret things differently so it's very important to have documentation and pictures of your allotment.
Petersen said it's important to remember that some areas currently don't have grazing. Grazing in the county is subject to the BLM resource management plan.
SITLA has 100,000 acres in the county and they don't make much more than $25,000 a year from these lands. Trading them out would be to SITLA's best advantage. Any concerns ranchers have with these trades need to be documented and addressed. Petersen said he has a map of the tradeout lands.
Stewart said in some areas around Escalante even though they haven't been grazed for several years, they are looking at bringing back these areas into a grazing rotation every three years. So even though an area might not currently have grazing, don't overlook it as a source for grazing in the future.
Geary said during the month of August, Emery County had several visitors and now they can say they've been to Emery County.
Geary turned the meeting to the agency reports. No one was present from the BLM. Marc Stilson spoke for the Division of Water Rights. He said they are currently working on water rights for SUFCO Mine and Deer Creek Mine.
Stilson said there is a push to open up the Colorado River Compact. He said if this occurs the upper basin states will be sure losers. The lower basin users are using the majority of the water and 60 percent of future use is projected for the lower basin.
DOGM wasn't present. The DWR reported the goats are going to the LaSal Mountains inspite of protests by some groups. J. Shirley reported he's been in the area for eight months and was in the San Juan district for eight years. He is excited to be in this region. James Thomas was hired as a new conservation officer. Joe's Valley received 3,000 three inch tiger muskies on Aug. 23. The boat ramp has been temporarily extended and the DWR is looking at doing a permanent extension of the boat ramp while the water is low. The archery hunt is going well with several nice bucks being taken.
No SITLA report. Darren Olsen spoke for the forest service. He introduced Tanner Hembree from Kansas who is the new officer for the forest service. He lives in Ferron.
Olsen said the flooding continues to damage roads in Huntington Canyon. Corner Canyon washed out and Nuck Woodward washed out, but you can still get to the parking area at the trail head in Nuck Woodward. US-6 was closed due to a mudslide too, but it wasn't from the Seeley fire as a news channel up north reported.
Ward said the Rolfson Reservoir road was in bad shape and very rutted.
UDOT continues to work at Engineer Canyon, and the forest service has designated that a parking area, so those using that area must be careful. Ward asked if there were any funds for the upper log racks. Olsen said applications were submitted, but he's not sure if funds have been awarded. The forest service also needs to be involved with the trails committee for long use planning for bouldering in the county.
Jonathan Hunt introduced Sarah Siefken who will be the parks manager at Goblin Valley, Green River State Park and golf course. The first available weekend for camping will be Sept. 20 at Millsite. The parks have been full every weekend since summer started. The new slide at Huntington has been very popular.
Siefken said she's been on the job for three weeks now and was the assistant manager at Goblin Valley before. Melon Days is coming up and that's a busy time for Green River and the park and golf course. New events will be planned for Goblin Valley including geocaching and frisbee competitions. The ultra-marathon will be held the end of October.
Hunt reported revenues at state parks statewide are up and the state parks turned back in close to $1 million to the legislature that wasn't expended this year.
The Washington delegation said they will give a report in October of how things are going with the proposed land use bill.
Under additional issues, Ward wondered if this is a good time for the nation to address management practices on the forests. Ten major fires were burning at one time throughout the west. With no hopes for timber harvests and most lumber mills out of commission, lumber comes into the US from Canada. Decreased grazing leads to more dry grasses to burn. "The west is burning up, the fires are devastating to the water shed. The water won't stay. It runs down and then runs off. Maybe the time is right," said Ward.
Ward suggested harvesting the dead beetle kill trees and grazing to keep the grass down. He encouraged everyone to talk to their legislators to give the forest service some flexibility in correcting these problems that are creating so many issues on the forest.
Commissioner Nelson addressed the attention the proposed drilling leases that are up for bid are getting. Many of these areas have been used for drilling for years without any visual impacts. Mark Ward, the attorney for UAC wrote an opinion piece in the Salt Lake Tribune and he gathered information from Ray Petersen and Mike McCandless. Commissioner Nelson said this resource (gas) can be harvested without causing any harm.
Petersen said the trails committee needs help inventorying the non-motorized trails in the county. Very little non-motorized trail information is included on current maps.
Ward reported Joe's Valley is very low and the power company water is pretty much all that remains. Huntington has two-three weeks of irrigation left.
Christiansen reported the Ferron Canal Company has purchased a dredger they will use to clean Millsite Reservoir.
It was reported that some trails which are marked open on maps weren't open when a scout troop from up north tried going on a 50 mile hike. She said she didn't know exactly where they gathered their information for the hike, but it can cause problems if trails aren't properly mapped. The next public lands council meeting will be on Oct. 1 at 10 a.m.

Well, here it is. Now the Christmas season officially starts. Time to get out the Christmas decorations. I watched people start this year before Thanksgiving had even started. I don't know about you people, but I usually use the Thanksgiving holiday to get my Christmas decorations out and up. Starting with the Christmas lights outside. Usually my son and daughter-in-law put up my outside lights when they come for Thanksgiving. On the years that they do not come for Thanksgiving I have my neighbors help me.
Well this year, as you all know, my good neighbors have moved and I find myself in a bind as to who is going to get the honor. I am sure every one of my friends and neighbors is waiting with bated breath.
As I watched out my window this last weekend I saw some interesting things going on around the neighborhood. We had beautiful weather and people seemed to be out in full force putting up their Christmas lights. I saw a man on top of his roof doing a dance. Kicking his feet up in the air and waving his arms around. I had never quite seen such a dance so as I looked a little closer I saw a bunch of Christmas lights laying on the roof and the man was actually kicking at the lights and seemed to be yelling something along with the dance. I wish I could have heard what a lovely Christmas song he must have been singing as the lights accidentally fell off the roof.
I saw a lady standing on the tip top of a ladder, reaching as far as she could to the top of a tree as she wound around the lights. Then I realized she was taking the lights off the tree. She seemed to be having a bit of trouble. The ladder was about to tip over and I sure hope her friend got to her before the ladder hit the bushes. It was out of my view a little so I am not sure whether he did or not.
I saw a teenage boy holding on to the heels of his little brother as he dangled him down from the top of the roof to drape some lights on the edge of the house. It looked like a lot of fun but the little boy didn't seem to be having that much fun. His face was all red and scrunched up and he looked really frightened. His brother kept yelling directions at him so I am sure he was able to complete the job.
I saw a husband and wife running around the yard as they placed Christmas figures in various spots on the lawn. The woman seemed to be having the time of her life. The man didn't seem to be so happy as she yelled at him. She couldn't seem to make up her mind where everything should go. I wish I could have heard what he was saying to her.
As I watched this great panorama going on before my eyes I realized that it wouldn't be hard to find someone to help me with my Christmas lights. I am sure my friends and neighbors will just be delighted when I ask them to help me. I will actually be doing them a favor. I'll bet they are standing by the phone waiting for it to ring.
Well, that is my world. Until next time remember, "Always use the word impossible with the greatest of caution."

JJ Hanrahan couldn't have wished for a better first start for Munster as he scored two tries and they saw off bottom side Zebre 29-3.
JJ Hanrahan couldn't have wished for a better first start for Munster as he scored two tries and they saw off bottom side Zebre 29-3.
All the scoring was left to the kickers in a scrappy, stop-start first half at Thomond Park and even they weren't having a good day as Gonzalo Garcia, Daniel Halangahu and Ian Keatley all missed from the tee.
Both sides found it difficult to build any kind of momentum at all as the game was punctuated by infringements and the sound of the referee's whistle but Keatley and Halangahu did finally register with a penalty apiece to make it 3-3 at the break.
And, probably after a suitably frank discussion at half-time, the home side began to play with far more purpose and attacking intent in the opening stages of the second half and it wasn't long before they got their reward.
Indeed, tries were like buses for Munster and two arrived in fairly quick succession as 20-year-old centre Hanrahan, on his first start for the club, and full-back Felix Jones both crossed the whitewash to the relief of the home faithful.
And, despite more of Zebre's best efforts in defence in a feisty second half, the hosts managed to put the drab and disappointing first half well and truly behind them by snatching a bonus point late on.
Hanrahan rounded off a night to remember for him personally by completing his brace of tries, and taking the man of the match award away with him as well, and Luke O'Dea sealed the bonus point with a fourth try with just a few minutes to spare.
The scorers:
For Munster:
Tries: Jones, O'Dea, Hanrahan 2
Cons: Keatley 3
Pen: Keatley
For Zebre:
Pen: Halangahu
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Luke O'Dea, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 JJ Hanrahan, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ian Keatley, 9 Duncan Williams, 8 Paddy Butler. 7 Peter O'Mahony, 6 Dave O'Callaghan, 5 Donncha Ryan, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 Stephen Archer, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 Dave Kilcoyne.
Replacements: 16 Damien Varley, 17 Marcus Horan, 18 BJ Botha, 19 Billy Holland, 20 Tommy O'Donnell, 21 Conor Murray, 22 Johne Murphy, 23 Denis Hurley.
Zebre: 15 Ruggero Trevisan, 14 David Odiete, 13 Gonzalo Garcia (c), 12 Daniel Halangahu, 11 Matteo Pratichetti, 10 Alberto Chiesa, 9 Luca Martinelli, 8 Andries Van Schalkwyk, 7 Filippo Cristiano, 6 Filippo Ferrarini, 5 Josh Sole, 4 Emiliano Caffini, 3 Luca Redolfini, 2 Andrea Manici, 1 Salvatore Perugini.
Replacements: 16 Davide Giazzon, 17 Matias Aguero, 18 David Ryan, 19 Filippo Cazzola, 20 Nicola Belardo, 21 Tito Tebaldi, 22 Luciano Orquera, 23 Leonardo Sarto.

ITEM: bci2617193 ID#:VOLVO228700460305 UPC: 844353251128
Everything from strictly traditional to absolutely contemporary, the Volare collection is an assortment of rugs that can satisfy every aspect of modern interior design. Affordably hand-tufted from soft, supple wool, each rug features an extra dense construction that adds texture and dimension. Available in a multitude of colors and sizes, the Volare collection has a rug to fit both your style and your budget. Features: Manufactured from 100% hand-tufted wool All Rizzy Home hand-tufted area rugs are created using the highest quality materials Hand made in India by skilled rug artisans Vacuum and spot clean with dry foam and absorbent pad as needed Why Choose Hand-Tufted?: Hand-tufted rugs use high quality materials and the finished product is meant to mimic that of a hand-knotted rug. The difference lies in the details. Hand-tufted rugs are made without tying knots and instead are made by a rug-maker using a tufting gun, which pushes material through a pre-determined design. This process is much more efficient than hand-knotting which is what reduces the cost of the rug. Though hand-tufted rugs are inexpensive and not a one-of-a-kind collector's piece like a hand-knotted, they are built to be very durable and efficient for high traffic areas and great for every-day use. Specifications: Rug Size Options: 2' 1/2 x 8' 2' x 3' 3' x 5' 5' x 8' 8' x 10' 8' x 8' 9' x 12' Pile Height: 0.59 Product Weight: 6 lbs, 14 lbs, 18 lbs, 35 lbs, 55 lbs, 69 lbs, 79 lbs What Size is Right for you? When choosing a rug, it is important to know that the sizing of the rug can affect the room just as much as the appearance. To minimize errors, we greatly suggest measuring your space for accurate results.: Small (2'x3' to 3'x5'): These smaller rugs are meant to be great accent pieces for doorways, hearths or smaller conversation areas. Medium (5' x 8'): Medium size rugs are great for home offices or bedrooms. They also look great in a living room beneath a coffee table. Tip: Coordinate the size of your rug with the size of coffee table to make sure all 4 legs stay on the rug. Large (8' x 10' or larger): Large Rugs command the feel of an entire room and are great for dining rooms and large living spaces. These rugs unite most furniture and table groupings beautifully. Tip: When used in dining rooms, make sure the table and chairs can all fit on the rug and all borders on the sides of the rug are equal. About Rizzy Home: The direct result of collaboration between two entrepreneurial brothers Rizzy Home originally started as Rizzy Rugs and Home Texco and now offers an extensive assortment of rugs, luxury bedding ensembles, designer pillows and accent throws under one company name. Rizzy Home is making it easier than ever for clients to create homes and interior spaces that are honest expressions of their true personalities.Only $139.00 at LightingDirect.com

In-form Scottish side Glasgow ran in five tries in a powerful 35-17 win over the Ospreys at Scotstoun Stadium.
In-form Scottish side Glasgow ran in five tries in a powerful 35-17 win over the Ospreys at Scotstoun Stadium.
Ryan Grant's tries and a further effort from Sean Maitland took Glasgow into a 22-3 lead at the break, with the visitors' only score coming through the boot of Dan Biggar.
Although the Welsh region clawed their way back into the match through Cai Griffiths and Sam Lewis tries, Niko Matawalu and DTH van der Merwe sealed the win and dented their opponent's play-off ambitions in the process.
In a battle between two top-four contenders, it was Steve Tandy's men which took the lead through a Biggar penalty. It had been a scrappy opening but, despite Duncan Weir's profligacy from the tee, Glasgow gradually began to hit their stride.
The stand-off missed successive three-point opportunities but their vibrant style was eventually rewarded when Grant powered over. Another piece of quick thinking from scrum-half Matawalu ended in Maitland touching down, which was confirmed by the TMO.
A further converted try by their loosehead prop and a Weir penalty then completed what was a superb first half display by the Warriors.
The second period began with props Grant and Adam Jones being sent to the sin bin for repeatedly collapsing the scrum. But it was the man who took over Jones' position while he was off the field, Griffiths, who reduced the deficit when he touched down from close range.
That looked to be the score they needed to put pressure on the hosts, but Matawalu effectively ended those chances when he danced his way to the line. Lewis did move the Ospreys to within 10 points but Peter Horne's penalty and van der Merwe's last minute score eased them to a superb victory.
The scorers:
For Glasgow:
Tries: Grant 2, Maitland, Matawalu, van der Merwe
Cons: Weir 2
Pens: Weir, Horne
Yellow Card: Grant
For Ospreys:
Tries: Griffiths, Lewis
Cons: Biggar 2
Pen: Biggar
Yellow Card: A Jones
Glasgow Warriors: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Duncan Weir, 9 Niko Matawalu, 8 Josh Strauss, 7 John Barclay, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Al Kellock (c), 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Moray Low, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Ryan Grant.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Ofa Fainga'anuku, 18 Ed Kalman, 19 Tom Ryder, 20 Ryan Wilson, 21 Henry Pyrgos, 22 Peter Horne, 23 DTH van der Merwe.

"The Dianna Wedge Sandal is not your typical wedge. It stands out because the leather boot that fits around the foot supports and yet flatters any pedicure.

"These shoes are GORGEOUS!!!! I am not one to wear wedges but I could not resist these! Ordered a size 8, in Red, which I normally wear and they fit perfect. Extremely comfortable. I will wear this season as long as the Texas weather lets me which will probably be until December. Thanks DSW!"

"I fell in love with these wedges online but after seeing them at the store, I was kind of disappointed. I did not even recognize them at the store. They look much brighter (red) on the picture than they are in person. I decided to pass on them because they kind of looked like hippie sandals on me. Sad day :( They are super comfortable though!"

Beal scores with 0.3 seconds left to lift Wizards
Published: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 4:03 a.m.
WASHINGTON — Bradley Beal didn't have a plan. What he had was a good move.
NBA scores
Monday's results
Washington 101, Oklahoma City 99
Boston 102, New York 96
Chicago 118, Cleveland 92
New Orleans 95, San Antonio 88
Utah 100, Dallas 94
Portland 125, Orlando 119, OT
Memphis 113, Sacramento 81
Tuesday's games
Brooklyn at Philadelphia, 7 p.m.
Miami at Indiana, 7 p.m.
L.A. Lakers at Houston, 8 p.m.
Atlanta at Minnesota, 8 p.m.
Phoenix at Milwaukee, 8 p.m.
Beal made a jumper with 0.3 seconds left Monday night, lifting the short-handed Washington Wizards a 101-99 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, who missed 16 straight shots at one stretch.
The former Gator used a pump fake to get open for the 16-footer that gave the Wizards (5-28) their second win this season over last year's NBA finalists.
"I didn't know what I was going to do to be honest with you," Beal said. "Coach just said go make a play."
Once Beal sent the Thunder (26-8) to the showers, they were doused with cold water in the away arena.
The Wizards (5-28), playing without their top two scorers, had lost 13 of their previous 14, but they also beat the Miami Heat earlier in the season. Beal and Martell Webster led the Washington with 22 points each.
Kevin Seraphin added 19 points, and Emeka Okafor had 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Kevin Durant, who had 29 points, drove through the lane for a thunderous dunk to cut Oklahoma City's deficit to 95-94 with just more than two minutes left. Martell Webster answered with a four-point play to give the Wizards a 99-94 lead.
Then, Ibaka made a jumper, and Durant made a 3-pointer with 36 seconds left to tie the game at 99.
"I thought we had a chance," Russell Westbrook said. "We just had to get a stop. But the way the game had been going for us throughout the game, it wouldn't surprise me if they would make a game-winner."
Durant and Westbrook each scored 20 points in Oklahoma City's last five games, but Westbrook finished with just 17 points Monday.
Serge Ibaka stepped up as Durant's complement, scoring 26 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
The Thunder's cold stretch lasted from midway through the third quarter to midway through the fourth quarter, and they made just 43 percent of their shots and 24 percent of their 3-pointers for the game.
"We let them stick around, because we're not taking them serious enough," Durant said. "We can't do that, man. We can't do that."
Nene (right knee tendinitis) and Jordan Crawford (sore left ankle) missed the game with injuries.
Nene has played just 20 games this season while dealing with a foot problem (plantar fasciitis), but he had played in the Wizards' previous eight contests. He's averaging 12.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
Crawford is averaging 15.6 points, 4.6 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.
With John Wall, Trevor Booker and Cartier Martin also out, Washington had just nine players available.
The Wizards weren't completely short-handed.
Trevor Ariza, who missed the last 17 games with a left calf strain, returned. He limped noticeably after dunking in the second quarter, but he remained in the game.
A.J. Price also returned Monday after missing 15 games with a broken right hand.
Beal made a four-point play to end the third quarter, and that began an 8-0 Washington run. When the game got tight late, Beal delivered again.
"How many times have we been in this spot?" Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "We're going to get the last shot. . I said, "It's time for us to be on the other end, to have someone step up and make a play.' Bradley made a hell of a shot."
Said Thunder coach Scott Brooks: "Truthfully, there is no way around it. The better team tonight won."
NOTES: The Wizards waived Shelvin Mack on Monday. In seven games, he averaged 5.3 points. . Brooks said he hasn't spoken with Durant about the forward's ejection during Oklahoma City's loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. "You have to play your personality," Brooks said. "You don't want to be a phony on the court, and Kevin's not. He's a nice young man that competes, competes fairly and competes the best way that he knows how to. I never complain about Kevin's passion." ... Four years ago, the Thunder started 3-29, even worse than Wittman's Wizards to open this season. "I know how Randy feels," Brooks said. "It's not easy, because you don't see a lot of sunshine. But, they have good players that work hard, and eventually it turns around. ... Kevin Durant helps, also." ... The Wizards' 30 first-quarter points matched a season high for the opening period.

I've recently started babysitting a 15 month old little girl. I've only babysat her twice and i keep telling myself it will get easier after a few times but there is something i'm struggling with. One, this morning she cried for 45 min after her mother dropped her off. I tried numerous toys to distract her and i tried to offer her hugs as a form of comfort. None of which she was having. She didn't even want to play with my 12 month old. I'm finding it very frustrating as the mom drops her of at 9 in the morning and she has requested that her daughter is put down for a nap in the morning at 10. By the time i get her calmed down i have to put her in the playpen to sleep at 10. The mom is a fan of the CIO method and has stated that I'm to say to her daughter, "nap time", offer her something to drink and walk away. (although i do not use this method with my dd, i do feel it's important to follow the mom's request as i can attest to the frustration felt when someone doesn't listen to mine). THis morning she cried in the play pen for 30 min before i went and got her out finally deciding that she wasn't going to take her morning nap (and unfortunatly because my dd is accustomed to sleeping in the carrier i woke her up trying to retrieve a very angry little girl). I feel so bad for this little girl and would greatly appriciate any suggestions on how i can help her settle down a little quicker and adjust to her new environment?? has anyone had to deal with this situation? what did you do?

I moved this to Respond With Sensitivity. Although it is an issue about a daycare situation, you are asking how to respond to the child so I felt it would work in this forum.
I feel for the child, what a troubling situation for her - a new house with people she doesn't know and mommy gone. Have you read the Provide Consistent and Loving Care Principle? Although it is geared more towards parents, you may be able to get some ideas from it.

I think its important for you and her (the baby) to have two weeks as a transition time. I think its silly to expect the same behavior at home to immediately start again at a new location. Of course you also are getting used to this mother and her expectations. Does she ask for specifics when she is picked up? Is this the child's first daycare experience? How many days a week do you have her? Some children are transitioning to 1 nap a day at this age too. Your best bet would be to explain all you are feeling about the situation to the mother and either suggest the method you would like to use, or wait for ideas from her. Chances are the mother has her own feelings regarding this transition also. Wouldn't you?
