"Education should not validate ignorance but to overcome it"
Well said.
Of course the concern is that more and more politician holding the idea that earth is only 6000 years old getting elected. Sometimes I have the feeling we are going backwards in our evolution as a species.
Finheaven Tailgate Thread: http://www.finheaven.com/showthread....ilgate-East-22
Problems with the video
1. If the evidence was really on the side of the old earthier, then why are they so afraid of people teaching children the Earth is young? After all, the evidence will speak for itself and they will figure out the right answer wont they? The truth of the matter is that there are very compelling arguments that can be made for a young earth, but rather than letting everyone hear these arguments they want to shut the debate down. Beware of the sound of one hand clapping.
2. His comparison between the age of the Earth and the width of United States is fallacious because length and width can be empirically measured, the age of the Earth cannot. False Analogy.
3. He is validating ignorance by not allowing the children to hear both sides of a very important scientific debate.
4. The Earths orbit around the sun can be empirically verified (although absolute motion is actually not completely accurate), the age of the Earth cannot be empirically verified, why do old-earthers always have to resort to fallacious analogies to try and prove their point?
5. Teaching both sides of an argument is in no way watering down the quality of education, it actually is enhancing it because it teaches critical thinking.
6. Evolution is not the basis of modern biology, thats a complete canard; all of our modern discoveries in Biology could have been made without believing all life on Earth came from a single common ancestor.
7. The advancement of technology and bio-technology has nothing to do with the age of the Earth; after all, the MRI machine was invented by someone who believed the Earth was 6,000 years old.
8. He never makes a case as to why teaching children creation science is child abuse, even if everything he said were true (which it isnt), he never explains why that makes it child abuse. Pretty lame video really.
Total Depravity
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement
Irresistible Grace
Perseverance of the Saints
Id say the Old Earth view most certainly has empirical evidence to support it. Quite a large amount of it actually.
There is nothing that annoys me more than creationists. In all honesty, if Christians would remove this creationist strain from their midst, they would be a lot more popular. There is nothing worse than going to church and listening to the pastor pretend to be a scientist and spout off garbage to "debunk" evolution.
I am not sure if these pastors are cognizant of the lies and half truths they are spreading to their ministry, or if they truly believe what they are saying. Being that many of these pastors are rather intelligent in other facets of their life, I would have to believe they know the falsities of their claims, but keep spreading the misinformation to not diminish the validity of the Word.

First published in Portuguese in Folha de Sao Paulo.
Can Senator Marco Rubio deliver the White House to the Republican party this November? Mitt Romney, now the presumptive presidential candidate, cannot win the White House without Rubio's state, Florida. His biography—a Cuban-American, flexible religiosity—once a Mormon, now a Catholic, youth—40 years old, and political orientation—a Tea Party social conservative—help explain his meteoric political rise and potential viability as a vice presidential candidate. Although his support among Florida's non-Cuban Hispanic voters is weak, his somewhat constructive, though still timid views on immigration could give Hispanic voters beyond Florida, who now favor Obama by 40 percentage points, something to support in the Republicans.
In foreign policy, Rubio is more of a hybrid. From his position on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio is building his standing as the darling of the neoconservative wing of his party. He projects a mix of Cheney-Rumsfeld unilateralism with a healthy dose of Clinton-Obama humanitarian conscience. On Iran, he has called for the use of military force, albeit only once sanctions and negotiations fail. On Syria, he favors arming the opposition to bring Assad down, although primarily to weaken Iran. On Israel's security, there seems to be no light between his views and those of Netanyahu's, or indeed, Obama's. He believes the United States should have led the Libya intervention earlier on, as a matter of efficiency in removing Gaddafi. He departs from the Obama administration in tone, to be sure. But on substance, at least now, his main difference relates to the value of international legitimacy, and the need, or lack thereof, for the United States to conduct its foreign policy within the constraints of institutional institutions. The United Nations or the World Trade Organization, for example, may be necessary, but they are not sufficient to advance American global interests.
Like most foreign policy gurus in both parties, Rubio believes that the United States remains the indispensable nation. The emergence of new regional powers calls for the United States to actively "counter-balance." In the Americas, Rubio's rhetoric resonates with a pre-Obama tendency to relish love and attention on our best friends and demonize the rest. Remember when President Clinton bequeathed Argentina the title of "non-NATO" ally? Rubio gives his gold star to Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. Venezuela and the other ALBA countries are undemocratic, anti-American, and soft on Iran. In a recent speech, the unnamed emerging power to be counterbalanced in the Americas wasn't Canada, it was clearly Brazil. Rubio's friends–and–enemies leitmotif for Latin America closely tracks with his base's taste for polarization on the domestic front. I still hear Latin Americans complain of too little attention from Washington. With Rubio's political rise they may soon, again, complain of too much.
Romney will present himself as the standard bearer of a muscular, comfortably unilateralist assertion of American hegemony in the Americas and globally. Rubio reinforces that message. But both misjudge the American people and the rest of the world's taste for revisiting an earlier era.

And a beer!
Question: 10 to 20 years from now, do you think Christmas songs recorded by artists who are popular today (Destiny's Child, Christina Agulaira, etc...) will be heavily played like Andy Williams and Bing Crosby?
I don't think so. Granted, there may be one or two now popular songs that are still played but I believe the majority will be forgotten. The classics are that: classic. They will be here long after we're gone.
Just my two cents.

SELF Loans
The SELF Loan is a long-term, low-interest educational loan primarily for Minnesota students who need assistance paying for education beyond high school. The SELF program has provided over $2.0 billion in loans to students since 1984 and is administered by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, a state agency.
Who is eligible?
Eligible students are Minnesota residents attending eligible postsecondary institutions in-state or out-of-state, and nonresidents attending eligible postsecondary institutions within Minnesota. Students must be attending a SELF eligible school at least half-time and making satisfactory progress. A SELF eligible school is one that has a participation contract with the Office of Higher Education.
View a list of schools participating in the SELF Program.
Because the SELF program is not subsidized by the federal or state government, a credit-worthy co-signer is needed to insure continuous repayment on the loan. By requiring co-signers and interest to be paid while the borrower is in school, costs are kept to a minimum allowing for lower interest rates for students.
There is no minimum income threshold or requirement to demonstrate financial need. There are no application, origination, guarantee or other processing fees deducted from the loan.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the SELF V interest rate?
- What are the historic interest rates?
- How Much Can I Borrow?
- What are the repayment terms?
- What are the requirements for a co-signer?
- What happens if I change schools or enroll in a graduate program?
- When should I apply?
- Do I need to complete the FAFSA?
- Can you explain some of the terms that are used in talking about loans?

Curator Dana Miller narrates the assembling of Claes Oldenburg's Giant BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich). Using early installation photographs as a reference, Miller guides art handlers through the placement of each of the "bacon," "lettuce," and "tomatoes" of the soft sculpture. This careful process is one of the many ways, the curator explains, in which Oldenburg's work encourages the viewer to "look at your world with fresh eyes."
Claes Oldenburg discusses his 12-foot diameter Ice Bag–Scale C, 1971. Characteristic of Oldenburg's work, the prosaic object is transformed through a dramatic increase of scale. However, it is the addition of movement that produces what Oldenburg describes as the Ice Bag's "magic effect."
In this video, Whitney curator Dana Miller, conservator Eleanora Nagy, and artist Claes Oldenburg discuss the conservation process of Oldenburg's Ice Bag–Scale C, 1971. Also included is commentary by the team of specialists who assisted in the restoration including a hi-fi engineer, an electrician, an auto body restorer, and a custom fabric designer.

Consumers of electricity in Newfoundland and Labrador can expect to see an increase in their bills next month.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities (PUB) has approved an adjustment to electricity rates as a result of the annual review of the Rate Stabilization Account (RSA).
Newfoundland Power said in a news release today, effective July 1, electricity rates will increase on average by about two per cent, or about $2 on a $100 monthly electricity bill.
The RSA provides for an adjustment to electricity rates each year on July 1 to primarily reflect the price and amount of oil used by Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro in the generation of electricity at its Holyrood Thermal Generating Station.
Newfoundland Power said the application is an annual, routine filing to the PUB and neither utility receives any financial benefit from the change in electricity rates.
The actual amount of the increase will vary for individual customers depending on their class of service and the amount of electricity used.
Newfoundland Power points out in its news release that electricity rates in this province for residential customers remain among the lowest in Atlantic Canada.
It also says the company is committed to continuing to help customers save energy and save money in their homes and businesses by offering enhanced programs and practical tips through the takeCHARGE energy efficiency partnership with Newfoundland Hydro.

It's most famous battle, Agincourt, has acted as both a rallying cry and defining symbol of English nationhood for centuries. In France, Wales and Scotland too, the war acted as a catalyst for the development of national identities; its era produced iconic national heroes such as Joan of Arc and Owain Glyn Dwr.

Reviews of this property
We had friends in Stockholm and this apartment served us well. It is a relatively central location. Approx a km to walk to Medborganplatsen station. We walked to Gamla Stan quite a few times. Very clean and owners helpful. Wifi no problems. If you need to wash ask the owners to book the washing room. All in all we would stay here again!!
A heartfelt thank you to Kristina, who has provided us with useful information well in advance. A clean and beautifully furnished apartment has given us some wonderful days on site. Thank you! We would come back any time. Have we immediately felt at home.

Best in DFW: New Restaurants of 2012 list gets a clean bill of health
Joey Zapata, assistant city manager for the City of Dallas, was kind enough to write to me about my previous posts on health department inspection scores for Dallas-area restaurants.
He confirmed in an email that after the initial inspections without which new restaurants can't open, new establishments are not inspected again until about six months later. That's why you don't find current scores for most new restaurants.
Of the eight restaurants included in our Best in DFW: New Restaurants of 2012, five have inspections posted — and the good news is all the Dallas scores are 90 or above.
Here's the list:
Driftwood: 93 (inspected 2/8/13)
FT 33: not reinspected yet
Oak: 90 (inspected 1/26/13)
Sissy's Southern Kitchen and Bar: 93 (inspected 2/23/13)
Spoon Bar and Kitchen: not reinspected yet
Stampede 66: not reinspected yet
The Tried and True: 97 (inspected 2/13/13)
Woodshed Smokehouse: 10 demerits (The restaurant is in Fort Worth, which uses a different scoring system. A restaurant may get no more than 30 demerits. The restaurant was inspected 3/1/13. Here's the complete report.)

Very warm and friendly atmosphere. Bartender was very knowledgeable about their gluten free menu. The Bison Burger was fantastic and the gluten free bun tasty. Fabulous fresh cut fries.
Ordered off the GF menu and let the waitress know why.. I sat at the bar and had a view of the kitchen. I think cross contamination was the suspect.. Maybe just an issue for this location though. I have not had issues in other cities
Loved this place. Always nice to get a burger with a bun!!! The fries are fried in soybean oil so I couldn't have them but that is usually expected. I have gluten, dairy and soy allergies.
Separate gluten free menu with lots of choice. The bison burger was phenomenal and came with a GF bun. The fries were GF too and were delicious! The refillable cloudy lemonade was a bonus.
Fantastic food in a city that had been an absolute wasteland when it came to gluten free eating. Three places reacted as if they had never heard of celiac disease or of gluten free choices. Ted's served a scrumptious bacon cheeseburger on really good gf bun. Having French fries like a regular person was nice too. I recommend it highly.
Was on vacation and saw this restaurant on my app. I loved that there was a gluten free menu. Waiter recommended the Bison. I had the Bison burger on gluten free bun and hand cut French fries and it was terrific! Can't wait to got to this restaurant in another city! I would recommend to celiacs!
Very good. My gf is gluten-free and she loved it. Would highly recommend. Wide variety of options too.
Gluten free menu. Great burgers with gf buns and gf fries
Fantastic gluten free meal! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with gluten free bun and fresh cut fries. Best gluten free burger I have had in a long time!
I didn't get sick, that was awesome. The bun wasn't terrific but it wasn't horrible and the bison burger has great flavor and the fries were yummy.
They have a separate menu so that the server knows if you have an allergy. The server was aware of gluten allergy, but not truly understanding of everything I could and could not have. He was however, very sweet! I got Teds bacon cheeseburger and it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! The food was exceptional and their hand cut fries were awesome! It's a great atmosphere, and wonderful service.
I had the Avalon burger without the gluten free bun. I didn't feel like bread. I had the sweet potato on the side. Did not get ill. The bison burger was delicious.
very knowledgeable staff, lots of great options and an awesome burger and fries.
Excellent service with a knowledge staff. I had a delicious burger on a gluten free bun!!!! Great quality and service. Highly recommend!
Yes they have a GF menu. But the service was questionable and it took 40 minutes to get three burgers. And it wasn't busy.
Good menu, more options than many places. Staff was very knowledgeable at both the downtown Atlanta and Crystal City locations. During one visit, my burger came with a bun and the waitress immediately took it back and without my saying a thing she insured me a new burger would be grilled. The buffalo burgers are fantastic!
Limited GF menu, mostly steaks and hamburgers sans bun. My bunless burger was quite good, though. They used to have a dedicated fryer but I don't see fries on the menu now.
5370 Greenwood Plaza Blvd #110, Greenwood Village, CO 80111
Great Service and waitress was very helpful with Gluten-free menu. She assured me they would cook burger on foil to protect from cross-contamination. I would definitely eat here again!
5370 Greenwood Plaza Blvd #110, Greenwood Village, CO 80111
Great dinner. Answered all my questions about GF. Were very knowledgeable on how to handle GF without cross-contamination. Would definitely recommend.
2817 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
Great gluten free options. The burgers are amazing! separate fryers for the fries and housemade chips. Lots of options.
1685 Briargate Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
Great restaurant. Extensive gf options. Dedicated fryer for fries and homemade potato chips. All salad dressings are homemade daily and gf hamburger buns are made by a local bakery (not the usual frozen Udi's bun). Staff is knowledgeable and conscientious about Celiac.
314 City Cir #1320, Peachtree City, GA 30269
Dedicated gluten free menu. knowledgeable staff. Good food.
8017 Plaza Del Lago Drive, Estero, FL 33928
So pathetic can't even review
2500 Cobb Pl Ln NW #210, Kennesaw, GA 30144
We travel North from FL to KY/WV several times a year. Kennesaw is our normal overnight stopping point. I was thrilled to find Ted's. Great gluten free menu.
110 W 51st St, New York, NY 10020
Great g/f menu- yet my son got extremely sick after eating dinner there. Someone dropped the ball...
2817 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
Food is delicious, and they take celiac very seriously. seperate fryer for fries, robust GF menu and servers are really knowledgeable.
6195 Sawmill Rd, Dublin, OH 43017
My wife has celiac disease so we are extremely sensitive about restaurants advertising GF. Ted's really does it well. They have a great GF menu and on this visit, the waitress mistakenly put a roll on the GF meal. We pointed out that the meal was now not GF (cross contaminated). The meal was removed without argument. The manager came out to reassure us that they take GF seriously. They made a brand new meal and offered give us the meal for free. The GF meal was great and we'll be back.
3194 Fashion Center Boulevard, Newark, DE 19702
Best burger and gluten free bun. The bun did not fall apart like other places. Staff was knowledgeable of gluten free menu. Confirmed do not have a designated fryer for fries.
3625 Dallas Hwy SW #700, Marietta, GA 30064
As a celiac, I have been very pleased with the extra attention they give to my orders. I know it's hard in kitchens and I'm so appreciative. Their gluten free buns are warm, soft and delicious with a toasted surface and so I love getting their mushroom burger. They make their fries for me in a separate pot to ensure no cross contamination, so it takes longer but I certainly have no complaints at all. Love this place!
2304 Sir Barton Way #170, Lexington, KY 40509
Not a ton of choices (salmon, steak), but the food is really good. Eaten here a few times without issue.
2304 Sir Barton Way #170, Lexington, KY 40509
Love the Avalon Burger on GF bun. My favorite all time burger! Love the pickles too!
400 Union Street, Westborough, MA 01581
Very accommodating and great staff! Bison burgers were delicious and fries were in a dedicated fryer! Definitely a new favorite place to go!
2304 Sir Barton Way #170, Lexington, KY 40509
The cedar plank salmon and grilled asparagus is amazing!oh and the fries are gf! Server great!
6911 Fayetteville Rd #102, Durham, NC 27713
Have eaten here numerous times and have never been glutened. This is my first review and I felt I should leave it because of the service I experienced: I ordered a steak, specifying a gluten allergy and it came out with a roll on it. I told them to take it back, and instead of just taking the roll off and "faking" it, the manager came out, apologized, and gave me both a free salad, as well as the $33 steak for free (without me asking). Very happy with that kind of service, and the food is very good!
1685 Briargate Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
So good. We have it a couple of times on our way back on road trips and it's so good. Even when you ask to take it to go, it stays warm. I had the mac and cheese and my brother(who has celiac) got the kitchen sink burger with a gf bun and said it was the best gf bun he has ever had. Would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a gf place on nights you don't want to cook or on a road trip.
39 West Jefferson Avenue, Naperville, IL 60540
I've eaten here a few times recently. Great burgers, in fact it's become my favorite burger place. Never been sick. Highly recommend.
110 W 51st St, New York, NY 10020
Staff knowledgeable, at least my server was, and even has a dedicated fryer for French fries.
110 W 51st St, New York, NY 10020
Excellent burgers & buns!! Great Service!!! Definitely a go too!!
110 W 51st St, New York, NY 10020
Amazing burgers Best GF burger to date, both kids and husband
8017 Plaza Del Lago Drive, Estero, FL 33928
Knowledgeable staff! Loved having fries as an option for a side. I ate salmon with fries and asparagus! I am gluten free and dairy free.
2817 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
What a great meal! They have a GF menu and as others have said they take Celiac seriously. I had a delicious bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions on a GF bun that didn't fall apart. Couldn't eat it all, so I had the rest for dinner. Fries from a dedicated fryer. Our server was incredibly pleasant. Just a very positive experience all around.
623 East Boughton St., Ste. 110, Bolingbrook, IL 60440
Nice selection from the separate gluten free menu. Very knowledgeable about celiacs and how they can make your visit the best experience. Separate fryer for the fries. Didn't try the gf bun. But the burger protein style is huge.
2500 Cobb Pl Ln NW #210, Kennesaw, GA 30144
Gluten free buns and a dedicated fryer for their french fries. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and I didn't get sick. Will definitely be back for another awesome burger!
1680 Mall of Georgia Blvd #1755, Buford, GA 30519
Gluten free buns! Knowledgeable staff! Gluten free menu!

2817 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
So good! Tons of choices and food is fresh & delicious.
1512 N Main St, Warrington, PA 18976
Chef came to table. We discussed gluten free menu. Understands cross- contamination concerns. Dedicated fryer. The burgers very good, really good salad. Would love to see few more GF options on menu.
2451 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA 22331
Great place! The waiter was very gluten free friendly and accommodating.
6911 Fayetteville Rd #102, Durham, NC 27713
We sat at the bar by the kitchen, and they have a dedicated fryer. Also, I was impressed at how careful they were with my food, even during an extremely busy night.
1512 N Main St, Warrington, PA 18976
I've been several times and never been disappointed, my favorite is the Avalon Bison Burger on a GF bun. They use a dedicated fryer for the fries too so not problems and I'm highly sensitive to gluten.
10281 Midtown Parkway, Suite 221, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Gluten free bun and fries! Shane at the bar is always on top of things.
2817 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
Excellent Bison burger!! Had mine bunless, Swiss cheese and mushrooms. Delish! Great gf menu. Reasonable lunch prices.
6195 Sawmill Rd, Dublin, OH 43017
We have been here several times now and have always had excellent GF food. At times the server is mot always knowledgeable but the food and kitchen staff always make up for it.
8017 Plaza Del Lago Drive, Estero, FL 33928
Love Ted's! Several yummy options, and a very accommodating staff! They are always sensitive to my gluten & casein allergies.
2451 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA 22331
Steaks are good, and there is a decent selection of GF items in the menu. Staff seem knowledgeable about gluten and we've never had a problem with cross contamination.
105 Ellington Boulevard, Gaithersburg, MD 20878
GF menu. Had the hamburger. Meat freshly ground in their scratch kitchen with a choice of beef or bison. The beef was tasty but seemed a bit salty. GF bun was very disappointing, about the worse I've had. Just ate the burger. Fries were fresh cut and very good, again a little heavy on the salt. Server was GF/LF aware but service was lack lustre. Might be back to try the steaks.
2817 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
GF menu. Tasty burgers. GF buns that are great. I always tell them how sensitive I am and I have never had a problem. Also I love the milkshakes!
2304 Sir Barton Way #170, Lexington, KY 40509
Very good food. Had blue burger. One of the best I have had. French fries were unreal. Recommend most definitely
2817 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
Their gluten free menu is so plentiful, and everything was delicious! I didn't feel deprived or left out whatsoever. Very satisfied!
1954 Village Green Way, Tallahassee, FL 32308
I have celiac disease and not only did I have no adverse reactions but the salt and pepper trout, fries and kale salad was so delish! They understand and abide by celiac precautions. Dessert was a root beer float. Mmm, mmm!. Had to tell ya about it.
1685 Briargate Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
Gluten free menu was fantastic! Dedicated fryer for fries and a delicious gluten free burger/bun and a tasty "chip dip" app to start with! Great restaurant for celiac!!!
1401 Larimer St, Denver, CO 80202
Had a burger and the fries, said was a dedicated fryer, but I was sick before I left twice. Not ok for celiacs.

good options because you can order nearly any burger, but beware of the buns if you have a soy allergy. Easier to just order burgers without the bun. I had issues ordering and receiving a salad without my allergens, and the waitress was not very educated or cooperative. Not worth the stress to try again.

I require a gluten and dairy-free diet. Ted's has been very accommodating each time I've visited. They even have delicious gf hamburger buns to go with their fabulous bison burgers. The fries are gluten free as well.

My food and waiter was absolutely amazing. They accidentally flipped my friend and my sides and so they immediately remade my burger and apologized, but the food was worth the wait. The fries and chips were both amazing as well.

very friendly and helpful staff I've never had a reaction eating here and they have gf buns :)

Nice cozy environment...great food! This was my first visit. They GF menu has many choices. I hand the Bison KC Strip Steak, which was perfectly cooked. Good vegies and baked potato. I didn't encounter any problems ordering GF, the staff seemed accustomed to serving our needs. If you have the chance to eat at a TMG don't miss it!! June 20, 2016 I eat here at least once each time I come to Atlanta because it is SO good!! My last visit I had the Ted's Bacon Cheese burger, bison, on a GF bun and with GF fries. This is the 2nd time I've had this item and REALLY enjoyed it the first time because of the flavor and juiciness of the burger.. The order took longer this time because the first time my meal was made it wasn't GF...thank you Emily, our waitress, for pointing that out the the chef!!! Love the pickles...ask for more if you do as well. When my appetite is bigger I go for one of their steaks. For me Ted's is one place I have no concerns about getting a contaminated meal.

SINGAPORE, Sept 23, 2015 – J. Walter Thompson, recently appointed the agency of record for China's Alipay, has created a humorous campaign to drive home to consumers how Alipay has gone beyond simple online payments to include features such as a social messaging platform, family accounts, business vendor functions, group payments and more.
J. Walter Thompson won the Alipay business in a competitive pitch in June. Alipay is owned by the private Ant Financial Services Group, which is affiliated with e-commerce giant Alibaba Group.
The campaign is now running in print and digital, on national television and in cinemas in mainland China.
In one of three TV commercials the agency created for Alipay, an office manager – trying his best to keep a boss-like cool in front of underlings – is bombarded simultaneously with messages from his desk phone, his computer, his cell phone, an overhead speaker system and even a carrier pigeon.
They come from an array of family members asking him for help with everything from paying a phone or electricity bill to buying cinema tickets.
The take-away message is that he could easily handle all of this in a single place: an Alipay family account on his mobile phone. The tagline: "We have our own way. New Blue Alipay."
The agency's campaign shows how Alipay helps users to combine "Guan Xi," or relationship networks, with financial transactions, in a country where it can still be taboo to talk about money. A family account helps family members support each other without the risk of losing face, helping to enhance family bonds. Users can also collect money through an Alipay group chat, or send a friendly loan reminder to a friend.
"It was great to be able to work with one of the most innovative and creative brands in China," said Norman Tan, North Asia Chief Creative Officer and China Chairman of J. Walter Thompson Shanghai. "We will treasure our partnership by working closely together to provide the best strategy and most creative solutions for Alipay."

The Top Three Lessons From Marine Protected Areas Worldwide
Posted On October 24, 2013 by Samantha Murray
The following is an excerpt from a post that originally appeared on National Geographic NewsWatch.
We may be from more than 80 countries, and we don't all speak the same language, but after just two days, the 1,200 participants at the 3rd International Marine Protected Areas Congress in Marseille, France, are bonding. We all believe marine protected areas (MPAs) play an important role in the future of our ocean. Throw in some shared awe over a bowl of bouillabaisse (so. much. fish!) and a few bottles of Provençal rosé, and we've got more than enough fodder to fill five days of conversation.
The best part of these conversations is their authenticity and substance. Like a secret handshake we all learned during our years spent advocating for, designing, monitoring or otherwise implementing MPAs, we've got a shorthand that—in spite of our differences—allows us to speak in a single language about protecting our global ocean. As a result, three things keep resonating in the presentations and conversations at IMPAC3: Continue reading »

Cattle safe, no injuries in Highway 73 blaze
Investigators: Skid loader may have ignited hay
TOWN OF YORK, Wis. - Officials said no people or animals were injured in a fire that spanned multiple fire buildings Tuesday morning.
State Highway 73 was closed in both directions at County Road V in the town of York for about four hours in the morning.
The Dane County Sheriff's Office said a passerby reported a shed fire at 7663 Highway 73 at about 6:30 a.m.
When emergency responders arrived, they found a storage shed containing two skid loaders and some hay engulfed in flames, according to the report. The sheriff's office said the wind carried the flames to a nearby barn occupied by cattle.
The approximately 300 cattle were evacuated safely without injuries and they were moved by trailers to other area farms with the help of neighbors, according to the report. By 8:30 a.m. the fire was out and firefighters were working on extinguishing hot spots.
The Columbus fire chief told News 3 crews had a number of challenges fighting the fire: wind, nearby liquid propane tank and power lines. The sheriff said investigators believe one of the skid loaders may have started the hay on fire.
The farm is owned and occupied by Bill Beitz, according to the release.
The incident remains under investigation.
Traffic officials said the highway closure was lifted at about 10:22 a.m.
Elise Schaffer, spokeswoman for the Dane County sheriff, said damages were estimated at $400,000.
Fire departments from Columbus, Marshall, Sun Prairie, Cottage Grove, Deerfield, DeForest, Fall River and Portland/Waterloo/Milford/Shields responded to the blaze, in addition to Dane County Sheriff's deputies, the report noted.Cattle safe, no injuries in Highway 73 blaze

An oropharynx lesion biopsy is surgery in which tissue from an abnormal growth or mouth sore is removed and checked for problems.
Throat lesion biopsy; Biopsy - mouth or throat; Mouth lesion biopsy
Painkiller or numbing medicine is first applied to the area. For large sores or sores of the throat, general anesthesia may be needed. This means you will be asleep during the procedure.
All or part of the problem area (lesion) is removed. It is sent to the laboratory to check for problems. If a growth in the mouth or throat needs to be removed, the biopsy will be done first. This is followed by the actual removal of the growth.
If a simple painkiller or local numbing medicine is to be used, there is no special preparation. If the test is part of a growth removal or if general anesthesia is used, you will likely be told not to eat for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
You may feel pressure or tugging while the tissue is being removed. After the numbness wears off, the area may be sore for a few days.
This test is done to determine the cause of a sore (lesion) in the throat.
This test is only done when there is an abnormal tissue area.
If there is bleeding, the blood vessels may be sealed (cauterized) with an electric current or laser.
Avoid hot or spicy food after the biopsy.

Scabies is an easily spread skin disease caused by a very small type of mite.
Sarcoptes scabiei
Scabies is found among people of all groups and ages around the world.
Outbreaks of scabies are more common in nursing homes, nursing facilities, college dorms, and child care centers.
The mites that cause scabies burrow into the skin and lay their eggs. This forms a burrow that looks like a pencil mark. Eggs hatch in 21 days. The itchy rash is an allergic response to the mite.
Pets and animals cannot spread human scabies. It is also not very likely for scabies to be spread by:
Mites may be more widespread on a baby's skin, causing pimples over the trunk, or small blisters over the palms and soles.
The doctor will examine your skin for signs of scabies. The doctor will look at scrapings taken from a burrow to look for the mites. A skin biopsy can also be done.
The whole family or sexual partners of infected people should be treated, even if they do not have symptoms.
Creams prescribed by your health care provider are needed to treat scabies.
Apply the medicine all over your body. Creams may be used as a one-time treatment tor they may be repeated in 1 week.
For hard to treat cases, your health care provider may also prescribe a pill known as Ivermectin.
Itching may continue for 2 weeks or more after treatment begins. It will disappear if you follow your health care provider's treatment plan.
Most cases of scabies can be cured without any long-term problems. A severe case with a lot of scaling or crusting may be a sign that the person has a disease such as HIV.
Intense scratching can cause a secondary skin infection, such as impetigo.

Steve Croft to Obama: "Are You Punch Drunk?"
Watch CBS Videos Online
Politico - 3/22/09 10:31 PM EDT
President Barack Obama said he believes the global financial system remains at risk of implosion with the failure of Citigroup or AIG, which could touch off "an even more destructive recession and potentially depression."
His remarks came in a"60 Minutes" interview in which he was pressed by Steve Kroft for laughing and chuckling several times while discussing the perilous state of the world's economy.
"You're sitting here. And you're— you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems. Are people going to look at this and say, 'I mean, he's sitting there just making jokes about money—' How do you deal with— I mean: explain. . ." Kroft asked at one point.
"Are you punch-drunk?" Kroft said.
"No, no. There's gotta be a little gallows humor to get you through the day," Obama said, with a laugh.
Obama tried to inject some optimistic notes into the interview, saying he sees "flickers of hope" that the economy is beginning to turn the corner.
And he seemed intent on cooling the populist anger rising in the country, particularly over AIG's $165 million in bonuses. He signaled that he would like to see changes in a House resolution that would tax the bonuses at 90 percent, saying "we can't govern out of anger."
"Main Street has to understand, unless we get these banks moving again, then we can't get this economy to recover. And we don't want to cut off our nose to spite our face," he said.
The interview captured the balancing act that Obama must strike on the economy. He gave a nod to public anger at Wall Street while saying it could not dictate his response.
He got in a few whacks of his own at Wall Street executives who contributed to the meltdown—referring to them ironically at one point as "the best and the brightest"—while being ever-mindful that he still needs their help to dig out of the crisis.
His talk of depression could be viewed as alarmist—but it also seemed aimed at bracing Congress and the public for the unpopular prospect of spending even more taxpayer dollars to prop up Wall Street. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is set to roll out a plan Monday aimed at restoring the flow of credit that would back up private investments with government funds.
Even his awkward laughter highlighted an issue Obama has faced dating back to the campaign, a sense that he sometimes is too "cool" and detached to fully grasp the public anxiety over mounting job losses and economic worries.
Still, Obama made clear that he's afraid the nation hasn't seen the worst of the economic crisis. He said the recession deepened faster than he expected, particularly in terms of job losses.
"If we did nothing, you could still have some big problems. There are certain institutions that are so big that if they fail, they bring a lot of other financial institutions down with them. And if all those financial institutions fail all at the same time, then you could see an even more destructive recession and potentially depression," Obama said.
"I'm optimistic about that not happening," he quickly added, "because I think we did learn lessons from the Great Depression."
Turning the corner and "Flickers of Hope" in one breath and heading towards depression in the next, WTF???????????
What Obama is trying to do has never been successful in the History of the World but I forgot that he is "Special".
