Baffled by Bergdahl?
Is anyone else as baffled by this Bergdahl affair as I am? Regardless of whether Bergdahl is a regular POW or a deserter, to me, the Obama Administration comes off looking stupid and incompetent, because the speculation that he was a deserter was already out there as a prominent part of the public record, so how could the Administration not have anticipated some negative reaction? At the least they should have acknowledged that there were questions and that they would be properly investigated on his return.
Tom Fleming discusses this strange case here.
Our old friend Sean Scallon seems upset by the rush to judgement, and I agree that Bergdahl shouldn't be definitively declared guilty by Obama's critics before an investigation and +/- a trial, but that doesn't negate the fact that the Administration was stupid to not have seen this coming. Here is the comment I posted at Chronicles:
Sean, I'm not sure I understand your point. The Obama Administration had to be aware of the Daily Mail story that Dr. Fleming refers to. I'm baffled by this. The Admin seems to not have anticipated the backlash. But given the highly partisan nature of things these days, how could they not have? And doesn't the fact that they "forgot" to inform Congress not suggest they might have known they were going to get pushback? It makes the skeptic in me think that they might have REALLY needed to get Bergdahl back for some reason. But even if that is the case, why they didn't just withhold judgment and say that there would be an investigation instead of acting as if they had just secured the release of Jeremiah Denton is beyond me.
Steven Seagal Calls for Obama's Impeachment
Since we're on the subject of pop culture, this is worth noting. Steven Seagal has called for Obama's impeachment.
The actor appeared at the Western Conservative Conference in Phoenix, AZ on February 22, 2014, and was not aware that he would be speaking but what he did say, he spoke plainly in the seriousness with his message.
During the conference, a lot of funny political jokes were said but Seagal said that what he is about to say will not fit into the funniness of the night's event.
Seagal said, "What I have to say is quite serious. What I want to say is that never in my life did I ever believe that our country would be taken over by people, like the people who are running it… at this day."
I know that Seagal is mostly a straight to video actor these days, but since so few people in Hollywood and pop culture are on our side, any defections are noteworthy. I don't know where Seagal stands on all the issues, but what he says here is pretty hard core, and that he was willing to attend this venue is comendable. He has clearly identified himself with us Reds in the us against them war.
Korn Lead Singer Blasts Obama
Since were talking about hard rock, here is a story worth mentioning. Weaver and Hawthorne, this one's for you.
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis is unleashing the mother of all conspiracy theories — President Obama's secret agenda to become a tyrannical dictator with Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Kanye West's assistance!
We asked Davis about his band's new "Spike in My Veins" music video — which is filled with clips of Miley and other pop culture phenoms — and suddenly it was all aboard the crazy train.
You gotta see it … right in the middle of LAX, Davis spewed a theory about Obama using celeb scandals as a "distraction" … while he screws us out of our freedoms.
Constitution Party Response to the 2014 State of the Union Address
Dear Fellow Constitionists,
Over the past few months the Constitution Party, with your help, has made inroads on several fronts – a new website, a new newsletter format, social media and internet advertising, ballot access battles in several states, and many more behind-the-scenes efforts by tireless patriot volunteers across the nation. We are making tremendous strides towards helping states build and improve their websites, improving our media relations, growing our social media outreach, too many ways to be listed in this brief email.
We are actively engaged in building a strong political opposition to the current two-party duopoly that is rapidly descending into a chaotic tyranny, as is evident from President Obama's recent State of the Union address to Congress, the nation, and the world.
President Obama laid down the gauntlet at his first cabinet meeting of the year when he said, "We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need. I've got a pen and I've got a phone."
Click here to hear Darrell Castle (2008 Vice-presidential candidate) and Cynthia Davis (four-term Missouri State Legislator) present the Constitution Party Response to the State of the Union.
Our goal is simple: we want to re-establish the American Constitutional Republic, according to the actual intent of the Founding Fathers.
Forget everything you have known about or experienced under the tutelage of the current two major parties. The Constitution Party is not your granddaddy's political party. It is not your father's political party. It probably isn't the political party you first supported. The Constitution Party is committed to putting Principles before Party. Which principles? The principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence, the 1787 Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Find out about our basic Seven Principles on the national website.
The Constitution Party does not play Super Bowl politics. The Constitution and the impact it has on the American people, indeed the world, is not a simple football game between two opposing teams, whose strategy is to win the victory at all costs. Scoring a constitutionally-correct touchdown means standing up against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and saying "No, that is not within the authority granted to my office by the federal Constitution (or state Constitution, etc.). I will not do it."
The Constitution Party is committed to putting forth constitutionally-committed candidates. Congressmen, the President, the Courts, elected and appointed officials at all levels of government have lost the vision of what constitutes a representative republic based on the Constitution. It is time for the Constitution, and the American people who believe it its principles, to have duly elected officials willing to make the tough decisions necessary to save the American economy and American Liberty.
We need you to make real change happen in America.
We need your time, your volunteerism. We are a grassroots, from the heart, organization. 99.9% of us take no pay for the work we do to build the Constitution Party. We do not rely on lobbyists or Daddy Warbucks. We are fighting against a corrupt system, which has no desire to support a political party that will not give those in charge the power, glory, and gain they seek. We need volunteers at all levels. Visit the State Parties page of our website to contact your state leaders or area chairman. Roll up your sleeves, it's a hard job, but somebody has to do it and that somebody is you.
We need your financial support. It doesn't matter how small or how often, just donate. Only you can provide the resources necessary to fight for ballot access in several states. Only you can give us the resources to expand our advertising outreach. Only you can choose to invest in a political party with the will to make the hard decisions necessary to restore Liberty. Only you can make a donation today!
We need your Vote. We need your commitment to vote for, or become, a constitutionally-committed candidate. No one else is going to do it for you. Stop wasting your vote on candidates who continue to support party over principle. If you don't vote or run, then who? Contact your State Party or area chairman to find out more.
Explore our website and our commitment to the Constitution, then decide for yourselves if you are willing to take the next step and become an active participant the great struggle for Liberty, both for ourselves and our future generations.

We need a dictator!
David Brooks is frustrated. Congress won't grant amnesty to all those potential Americans "hiding in the shadows," it can't pass gun control, and it hasn't given us any fun wars lately. Brooks is also disappointed by the American public's lack of enthusiasm for DC's military adventures. Members of Congress, always mindful of the next election, aren't about to further alienate voters. That makes Brooks sad. Brooks, a thorough Neocon, gleefully backed the Iraq War as a means to achieve "national greatness." To him, a strong central government is the answer to everything, since, in his own words, "ultimately, American purpose can find its voice only in Washington."
The solution? Brooks says it's time for the president to assume more power and get things rolling again. Here's his argument, from an opinion piece entitled Strengthen the Presidency:
Here are the advantages. First, it is possible to mobilize the executive branch to come to policy conclusion on something like immigration reform. It's nearly impossible for Congress to lead us to a conclusion about anything. Second, executive branch officials are more sheltered from the interest groups than Congressional officials. Third, executive branch officials usually have more specialized knowledge than staffers on Capitol Hill and longer historical memories. Fourth, Congressional deliberations, to the extent they exist at all, are rooted in rigid political frameworks.
What should Obama do, in Brooks's opinion? Simple: "So how do you energize the executive? It's a good idea to be tolerant of executive branch power grabs and to give agencies flexibility."
Yeah — nothing like a few "executive branch power grabs" to liven things up.
Don't dismiss this as just the ravings of a typical government supremacist. What Brooks is advocating is a very real, very frightening possibility. Obama is already taking steps to do exactly what Brooks is talking about. Obama has appointed long-time DC insider John Podesta to his senior staff. Podesta has long been an open advocate of a powerful chief executive. In a Center for American Progress paper in 2010 entitled, "The Power of the President: Recommendations to Advance Progressive Change," Podesta wrote: "Concentrating on executive powers presents a real opportunity for the Obama administration to turn its focus away from a divided Congress and the unappetizing process of making legislative sausage."
Liberty activists should fear this man. Podesta's progressive ideology is a blueprint for the welfare-warfare state:
In 2008, Podesta authored his book The Power of Progress: How America's Progressives Can (Once Again) Save Our Economy, Our Climate, and Our Country. In it, he articulates a vision of progressive values based on four core lessons: 1) Progressives stand with people, not privilege; 2) Progressives believe in the Common Good and a government that offers a hand up; 3) Progressives hold that all people are equal in the eyes of God and under the law; and 4) Progressives stand for universal human rights and cooperative global security.
(Catch that last line? And some people don't believe me when I argue that civil rights and militarism are DC's yin and yang.) Like all DC insiders, John Podesta knows how to deploy his noble-sounding ideals to turn a buck:
Since President Obama entered office in 2008, Boeing has spent $840,000 on The Podesta Group's services, relying on the firm to lobby in favor of lucrative defense appropriations at the White House and on Capitol Hill.
What can we expect from Obama in the coming months? More wars, more forced multiculturalism, more authoritarian government.
In other words, what we can expect from ANY administration.
Hawaiian Official Involved in Release of Obama's Birth Certificate Dies in a Plane Crash
Things that make you go hmmm…
This is gonna have conspiracy theory tonugues a waggin'.
I'm not sayin'. I just sayin'.
The health director who approved the release of President Obama's birth certificate has died in a plane crash, Hawaiian officials said Thursday.
Loretta Fuddy died after the Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft she was travelling on went down shortly after leaving Kalaupapa Airport at around 3:15 p.m. local time (10:15 a.m. ET) on Wednesday.
The other eight people on board were rescued, Richard Schuman, president of Makani Kai Air, told NBC News early Thursday, adding that that there was no indication as to why the plane had crashed.
Bogus sign language interpreter was perfect for Obama's Mandela tribute
Somehow an unqualified man pretended to sign for the deaf as the U.S. president gave his gushing tribute to Nelson Mandela. People are asking how this could happen:
The key address in the memorial service for Nelson Mandela was given by Barack Obama, whose words were brought to life for deaf spectators and TV viewers by a "sign language interpreter", who could be seen gesturing energetically behind the sombre US President.
Yet the man, not only seen by the tens of thousands in Johannesburg's FNB stadium where the memorial took place on Tuesday, but also by millions across the world on television, was a "fake", according to Bruno Druchen, the national director of the Deaf Federation of South Africa.
Mr Duchen told the Associated Press "there was no meaning in what he used his hands for". He and other language experts pointed out that the man was not signing in South African or American sign languages and could not have been signing in any other known sign language because there was no structure to his arm and hand movements.
As one ANC member put it, "What this man was doing was making no sense."
But in a way, it made perfect sense.
Many commentators criticized the entire event as poorly planned and managed. Security was laughable. And for the ANC to put an unqualified sign language interpreter to stand beside the president of the U.S. was just the icing on the cake. The "interpreter" has explained his erratic performance by claiming he was "hallucinating, hearing voices." Yes.
So this was perfect. What better way to communicate the message that it is "progress" to dismantle a society that worked and replace it with one that does not? That a man caught in the act of plotting mass murder is to be hailed as a saintly peace maker? Or that an African advocate of communism, the most bloody anti-human ideology the world has seen, should be honored with U.S. flags flown at half-mast?
I'd say a nonsense medium for a nonsense message is entirely appropriate.
Obama wants Marines to wear 'girly' hats
The feminization of society is about to take a bold leap forward. From the New York Post:
Thanks to a plan by President Obama to create a "unisex" look for the Corps, officials are on the verge of swapping out the Marines' iconic caps – known as "covers" — with a new version that some have derided as so "girly" that they would make the French blush.
"We don't even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers that look like women's hats!" one senior Marine source fumed to The Post. "The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous."
The thin new covers have a feminine line that some officials think would make them look just as good on female marines as on males — in keeping with the Obama directive.
In conjunction with this change in uniforms, the Marine Corps Hymn has been updated as well to reflect the Corps's new image. Here's an exclusive first look:
From the power suits of Yves Saint Laurent
To the flair of Armani
We will rock these girly uniforms
On the runways and at sea
First to fit our feet in pink footwear
And wear dress blues like a queen
We're the first branch to go unisex
We're Obama's New Marines!
Woman Nearly Faints Behind Obama As He Talks About Obamacare
Okay, I'm always skeptical about conspiracy theories, but c'mon! This video of Obama steadying a woman about to faint and saying, "I gotcha–you're okay" is just too symbolic of Obama coming to the rescue of people needing medical attention.
It's odd that the woman didn't wobble until Obama turned his attention to her. Also notice that the two people at her side didn't seem to notice any problem. And why did Obama suddenly turn around to catch her?
Strange. Very strange.
My Letter to My Democrat Representative on Syria Intervention
Dear Rep.,
I am writing to you to urge you to vote against the President's resolution granting him authority to bomb Syria.
Syria is involved in a civil war that the US has no business meddling in. Syria has not threatened the US and is not a threat to the US.
In 2008 Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in the Democrat primary primarily because he had opposed the invasion of Iraq. He then won a Nobel Peace Prize based on his opposition to the War in Iraq.
Now Obama is advocating military interventionism no different than his predecessor George W. Bush. I thought the Democrats were supposed the be the party that opposes military adventurism.
I urge you to stay true to the professed position of your party and vote against the bombing of Syria and repudiate this new direction of a supposedly anti-war President.

Obama to Go to Congress for Syria Authorization: Predict the Outcome
Obama has now said he will go to Congress for authorization to attack Syria. I'm surprised by this. I wonder if Obama is looking for a way out. The vote will have to wait at least until Congress returns on Sept 9.
So let's hear your predictions on how the vote will go. I'm not confident, but I predict it will not pass. Between now and 9 Sept. Congress will hear from their constituents and there is no popular support for this war.
Write your Congressman and Senators and let's head this disaster off at the pass. I'm going to write mine.
Barack Obama: basically dishonest, incompetent and corrupt
By Frosty Wooldridge
"It is very sad that our first African-American president will be judged in history as the most inept, corrupt, wasteful, subversive, destructive and divisive present ever. A man twice elected because of the color of his skin rather than the content of his character." Email sent by Daniel Johns
When historians investigate the rise, failure and fall of Barack Obama, they will uncover a plethora of unpleasant realities that Americans on both sides of the political aisle refused to investigate. Clearly, power brokers awarded him a free pass from personal accountability and responsibility because of his skin color. Obama never showed competence as a business man, or running a company, as a distinguished educator, honored lawyer or success at anything other than rhetoric.
His only job before ascending to the position of U.S. Senator from Illinois: community organizer. Before that, he lived out of the United States in Muslim countries and attended Islamic schools until the age of 11 or so. No one knows. He "earned" sub-par grades in high school and in college at Columbia and Harvard. No one knows where he acquired the money to attend such prestigious and expensive institutions—or how he obtained scholarships or passed entrance tests to merit admission. In fact, no one knows anything of his youth other than he smoked or snorted a lot of drugs like marijuana and cocaine. That's about the only thing he ever admitted.
"Neocon" means never saying you're sorry
Or that you were wrong. In response to the latest Sunni-Shiite violence in Iraq, Americaneocon blames Obama's foreign policy. Huh? It was the Bush administration that agreed to this non-negotiable provision with the
puppet Iraq government:
"All the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory no later than December 31, 2011."
Now that U.S. occupation forces have left, old battles have resumed. In fact, no other outcome was possible since the Allies of WWI deliberately cobbled together random regions of the old Ottoman Empire to ensure oil-rich Iraq would be unstable and easily exploitable.
Iraq is fracturing into its component cultural regions, which Americaneocon notes, but wrongly attributes to Bush's "global democratic revolution":
There's been a few bright spots, like the northern Kurdish region, where democratization is taking hold. But that's despite the best efforts of this administration to sabotage the movement toward freedom in the country. What a shame.
In fact, the Kurds have long agitated for their independence. One of the sad ironies of the run-up to the invasion of Iraq was the charge that Saddam "attacked his own people," referring to his use of poison gas against the rebellious Kurds. Of course, the U.S. government not only failed to condemn Iraq at the time — after all, Saddam was D.C.'s paid-for client then — but even tried to shift blame to Iran.
Rand Paul Yells "Stop"
The following essay was submitted by Alan Cornett. Mr. Cornett is a minister, a former associate of Russell Kirk, and most importantly, a man of fine sartorial tastes.
Rand Paul Yells "Stop!"
Rand Paul, in a spontaneous act of political naysaying, captured the imagination of conservatives across the country on Wednesday as he filibustered the confirmation of John Brennan as head of the CIA. Twitter was, well, atwitter and C-SPAN gained an actual audience while Paul brought the first breath of life to a dreary GOP since Mitt Romney's ugly defeat in November.
Paul's issue wasn't really Brennan, but rather forcing the administration to admit they couldn't blow up Americans. No one thinks that Obama & Co. are scheming to launch domestic drone attacks. But this is an administration that acknowledges no theoretical limit to its own authority. The President simply did not want to concede the point; the Nobel Peace Prize winner prefers to dictate rather than to be dictated to.
For Paul to succeed in forcing the administration's hand to admit, at least on paper, that they could not kill an American citizen on domestic soil just because they wanted to came as a surprise to just about everyone including, I'm sure, Rand Paul himself. As it was the second embarrassment to the administration in a week (the sequester failing as economic Armageddon being the first), it may be that the wings of Icarus are finally beginning to melt.
But Paul's challenge to a hypothetical domestic drone program is at root as much about challenging a Republican foreign policy that has largely been unquestioned by its leaders since 911 as it was a stick in the eye to a hubristic administration. Paul's slight of hand was to mask this internal challenge as a partisan rallying point.
While Rand Paul stood for the Bill of Rights on the Senate floor, a score of Republican Senators dined out with the President he chastised. Among them were drone lovers Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham. On Thursday while the administration's Attorney General Eric Holder drafted a statement admitting that of course they couldn't blow up Americans here in the good ol' US of A, Obama's GOP dinner companions decried Paul's filibuster.
McCain worried the Democrats might see all this filibustering as abusing precious Senate rules, calling it "ridiculous." Graham allowed as how the filibuster was reason enough to cause him to vote to confirm Brennan. They sounded like yesterday's men, managers of the status quo. Paul was unconcerned with Brennan per se, of course, but now McCain and Graham have given a de facto endorsement of a drone position that even Obama officially repudiates.
Some Senators did sense the shifting winds, most notably Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky's other Senator, who joined Paul on the Senate floor. McConnell faces re-election next year and no doubt sees siding with Paul during his shining moment as advantageous. But now the Senate's highest ranking leadership has acknowledged Paul's agenda as a sympathetic one. There is at least a crack where there was none before.
Rush Limbaugh, supportive yet wary, spoke with Paul on his radio show. Rush applauded the filibuster stand, but question Paul about his overall drone position, sensing that Paul really is hacking at the root of a foreign policy that Rush has done much to prop up. Paul conceded drone use in foreign combat, but wisely returned the issue civil liberties. That is his wedge: a plea to Constitutionalism in order to reshape the thinking of a party that has gone far astray.
For at least 48 hours the debate parameters changed, and not inconsequentially a President backed down. Rand Paul showed that it is still possible to stand athwart history and yell stop.
Alan Cornett on Twitter: @alancornett
Rand Paul Makes White House Blink
The White House has blinked.
See this from the Capitalism Institute.
See this from the Washington Examiner.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney quoted from the letter that Holder sent to Paul today. "Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on an American soil?" Holder wrote, per Carney. "The answer is no."
This is progress. A straight "no" is better than evasion. Paul indicates he is "quiet happy" with the answer. But the key issue, IMO, is the word "combat" which I will try to explain in a longer post when I have time.
Donald Trump, Unlike Obama, Mans Up When Challenged
I'm sorry, I just can't resist posting about this story.
One thing that I have maintained all along about the "birther" issue is that Obama, whether guilty or not, has behaved like a guilty man. When he released the short form birth certificate and people questioned its authenticity and wanted to see the long form birth certificate, the thing to do is not to brush it off or roll your eyes or make snide comments or hide behind your spokesman or call the other side names or hire lawyers to fight it in court or claim that Hawaii won't release it or whatever else. All that makes you look either like you have something to hide and/or like you're a dude who is completely oblivious to guy code. (This being a family friendly site prevents me from saying that in a more graphic manner.)
When Philip Berg, for example, questions your credentials, particularly in the context of this already being a big story, (not just some random claim from a lone wacko) the appropriate response is to march into the Hawaii DOH and demand they release a copy of your long form which you would then wag in the face of all the doubters and personally attempt to shove up Philip Berg's posterior. When they ask for it in court you gladly turn it over saying "Here you go Judge. Anything else I can help you with?"
When Donald Trump calls you out publicly and says he will donate 5 million dollars to the charity of your choice if you produce your college records, you produce your college records. This does three things. It clears any doubt there may be about you, it makes Donald Trump look like a fool, and it get your charity 5 million dollars. What did Obama do? He wiffed. (I'm not defending the way Trump led us to believe he had something new when all he had was a challenge.)
So, when Bill Maher laid down a five million dollar challenge to Trump, what did Trump do? He did what a man would do, he stepped up and produced. Obama should take a lesson. I didn't see the Maher interview. I'm sure he was his usual snide mocking self. But now that Trump has called his bluff, is he going to pay up or look like a sniveling weasel?

Post Your Election Predictions Here
This post is for our readers to get their election predictions on (virtual) paper, before the fact. Here is mine.
There is a very real possibility that Romney could win the popular vote, but lose the Electoral College. This is because Romney is likely to win a lot of Red States by huge margins, but lose Electoral College vote rich swing states by narrow margins. That said, and so Kirt doesn't accuse me of equivocating, I predict Romney will win both the popular and the Electoral College vote. This is admittedly an easier prediction to make now than it was a couple of months ago, but I have been predicting a Romney victory all along. I know I have stated that in the comments somewhere, but I couldn't find any on a quick look. If anyone can find a comment thread where I stated that then please post a link. The reason I have always believed Romney is going to win is because it seems to me that all the people who think Obama is going to win and even win easily are forgetting about 2010. Did the 2010 mid-term repudiation not happen? (I know, Clinton won in '96 after the '94 mid-term.)
As in 2010, all the late momentum has been going Romney's way. He has been drawing huge crowds. I think he'll win Ohio (he almost has to) and I could see him winning Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Iowa. Plus he will win Florida, Virginia, and Colorado fairly handily. (CO by the least.) North Carolina has never been in play this election.
A ConservativeTimes.org Symposium on the Paleo Vote
We at Conservative Heritage Times have been inspired by the TAC symposium to do one of our own, although one with more of a paleo edge. I'm actually not sure symposium is the best characterization of this. It is a virtual symposium I suppose. But I'm going with it because we are blatantly riffing (not ripping :-)) off TAC's effort.
Not all the people here would be best described as paleoconservatives, and some would not claim that label, but the attempt was to try to get people who might be considered part of the paleo/traditionalist sphere. I asked CHT's own contributors, plus people I know (both actually and virtually) whom I thought would represent a broad cross section of the paleo/traditionalist sphere, plus some of our regular commenters. Other of our regular commenters volunteered their services.
In order to avoid the appearance of favoritism, I have arranged the contributions in alphabetical order by first name. I am still expecting some more to roll in. They will be added in their appropriate alphabetical order as they do. Please check back frequently and please promote this on Facebook, Twitter, with you email contacts, etc. Thanks, enjoy and discuss. The endorsements commence below the fold. ~ Red

Reconsidering the Tulane Fragment: A New Analysis of a Rare Aztec Tepetlacalli
A broken basalt fragment of an Aztec tepetlacalli has been in the archives of the Middle American Research Institute at Tulane for several years. Exhibiting significant craftsmanship, it contains multiple Aztec logographic glyphs contextualized with associated art and clear iconography. The glyphs match several examples on other Aztec boxes and the iconography shows connections to Teotihuacan art. After a review of that is currently known and published about the artifact, I review the glyphs presented on the box, discuss the carving and reconstruct the box's original dimensions.
Three New Stelae at La Milpa, Belize?
This article reports the discoveries of three new possible stelae at La Milpa, Belize. The discoveries bring the potential total of stelae at the site to 23, the highest number at any site in Belize north of the massive center of Caracol. All three of the newly recorded stelae are plain: two of the new monuments come from outlying minor centers 3.5 km from the main plaza, which form part of a proposed cosmogram, while the third is located in Plaza B in the southern half of La Milpa's core.

...granted not a challenger at all...but its still a turbo on a car that is not tuned for it and guess what it runs...BUT we are not driving it over 3k and about 25% throttle and he is buildig no boost...so the car is will run and not blow up...enough to drive it...but not mash on it...(we are taking it to the tuner in the morning)
So good for them..they installed a supercharger on a car and it ran...no duh...thats not a surprise...did the ecu learn that there is a s/c on their and change air/fuel ratios to run it well? My guess is a big fat NO...
And honestly i would never install a piece of forced induction equipment on my car amd let the ECU try and tune it...i want some one to look at it and who knows what they are doing tune it properly and get the most out of it possible in the safest way possible...
*edit* i just looked on their site and they do not seem to be selling this kit...thats because they cant tune it, so motors have an almost gaurantee they will blow up and/or the supercharger will make no real difference in power.
Do you have any more links to this building boost and making serious power? Or just them starting it up and not even revving it.
I will say this though its a step in the right direction on a whole for the 3.6 market...so thats awesome!!

OASIS CAM versus ISO Schematron - A new technique for Schematron: exemplarsBy Rick Jelliffe
August 21, 2009
My normal initial reaction when reading the CAM spec is to huff and puff about borrowing ideas badly. No patterns! No phases! No diagnostics! No roles! No assertion text! And so on. But it is to compare apes and orangutans: the things I consider important are not the things CAM was developed for.
FLARVision: Augmented Reality and PapervisionBy Jesse Freeman
May 1, 2009
The basic explanation of Augmented Reality is to superimpose graphics over real-world environments in realtime. In Flash, this is usually done with a webcam and a marker card. When you hold the card up to the webcam, Flash is able to detect the orientation of the marker and superimpose, in this case, a 3d model on top of it. This technology has been around for a while now and having access to it in Flash is really exciting. Although it is still in its infancy, over time the speed and power of AR will improve to hopefully play an important role in how we view the web. Now is a great time to get your feet wet in order to get a better understanding on how it works.

Music Director: Toronto Symphony Orchestra
Music Director: Royal Scottish National Orchestra
Currently Music Director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Peter Oundjian is celebrating a very successful first season as Music Director of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. As well as concerts in and around Scotland, his inaugural season included a tour to China and culminated in his debut at the BBC Proms, and a concert at the Edinburgh International Festival.
A regular guest conductor, recent and future engagements include concerts with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and Israel Philharmonic orchestras, as well as the Orchestre de Paris, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin. Last season, Oundjian and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, with whom he has a regular relationship, premiered a new piece by Krystof Maratka in Paris, which they then took to the Prague Spring Festival. Together they opened the festival with a televised performance of Smetana's Má vlast. Previous and upcoming US highlights include concerts with the Detroit, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Houston and Saint Louis symphony orchestras. Further afield, he has travelled to Australia to conduct the Sydney Symphony and he made his Japanese conducting debut with the NHK Symphony Orchestra in 2013. Regular soloist collaborations include Yefim Bronfman, James Ehnes, Leila Josefowicz, Emanuel Ax, Gil Shaham, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Lang Lang and Renée Fleming.
"[Adams' Doctor Atomic Symphony/Harmonielehre/Short Ride…] is a hugely enjoyable release." (Martin Anderson, International Record Review, January 2014)
"Britten's [War Requiem] was given just treatment in the Usher Hall on Friday night by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under Peter Oundjian, their music director. He coaxed enunciated colour and texture from the RSNO, veering from wrath to pity, from overpowering magnitude to muted poignancy." (Sarah Urwin Jones, The Times, November 2013)
"...the orchestra turned to Tchaikovsky's Fifth – and what a performance. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra's brass were full of energy and Oundjian drove the work with a thrilling intensity." (Elizabeth Davis, Classical Music, August 2013)
"Just seven months into his first season at the helm of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, music director Peter Oundjian is already making his mark…Not only in terms of repertoire [but also] in terms of sound – building on Deneve's meticulous detail but turning it sideways into something hard-edged, bright and brassy... Rhythms were crisp and vibrant under Oundjian's sprightly conducting. His silky strings made the opening and closing scenes beautifully tender... Oundjian kept a careful eye on the grand architecture, building inexorably to some impressive climaxes." (David Kettle, The Telegraph, April 2013)
"In both concertos, conductor Peter Oundjian gave malleable support, drawing exquisite sounds from his orchestra…which oozed colour and subtlety…[and was] crunchingly effective" (Ken Walton, The Scotsman, April 2013)
"As soon as the music in the first [American Festival concert] began, it seemed Oundjian had transformed his band almost overnight into a sleek, shiny Stateside outfit – one that was wonderfully brash and brazen in the gripping Candide Overture by Bernstein that opened the concert. The concert highlight was Oundjian's searing vision of John Adams' huge post-minimalist Harmonielehre." (David Kettle, The Scotsman, February 2013)
"BRILLIANT: the only word for [Peter Oundjian's American Festival]. His account [of Bernstein's Candide Overture], with the RSNO in white-hot form, had such a scorching immediacy of impact in the precise articulation of it most flamboyant elements, it was like hearing Candide reinvented." (Michael Tumelty, The Herald, February 2013)
"John Adams' 40-minute Harmonielehre. It's a thrusting, super-charged declaration – a hulking fusion of minimalism catch-sounds and romantic grandiosity – and Oundjian scaled its proportions just right. He kept textures luminous rather than weighty, with propulsive drive and a fine balance of ardent winds and nervous, chattering strings. He expanded the second movement with spacious contemplation and allowed the climax to really blaze. An absorbing performance." (Kate Molleson, The Guardian, February 2013)
"Oundjian and the RSNO were both highly charged and subtly intimate in their responses. An auspicious start to their partnership." (The Times, October 2012)
"As for the performance, it was gripping from start to finish. When have we witnessed such visceral, machine-gun immediacy from the RSNO? When did we last hear the strings play with such compelling unanimity? Oundjian asserted his will on the symphony, from the aching emptiness of the opening, through the grotesque horror of the massacre, to the stillness of the lament, and finally the screaming belligerence of its overwhelming climax." (The Scotsman, October 2012)
"There were quantifiable signs of an immediate rapport with his new band-to-be. The most important of these was an all-pervading sense the entire orchestra warms to his musical personality, which is a mix of sensitive precision, solid musicality and outgoing warmth, sprinkled with a calculated measure of good old showmanship" (The Scotsman, April 2011)
"A magnificent performance on Saturday night of Brahms's Third Symphony in which a near-capacity house heard a Brahms Three from an orchestra with a completely different accent and mindset, a rich, warm and dramatic sound quality, a sense of balance where no section, including the heavy artillery, was constrained, but none overwhelmed another, and an ensemble, superlatively led by James Clark, that appeared to demonstrate a refreshing coherence.....the night, with that cracking Brahms, belonged to Oundjian and his new band." (The Herald, April 2011)
"This was Oundjian's second appearance with the RSNO, and it shouldn't be his last. He offers that rare combination of technical precision and interpretational dynamism." (The Scotsman, March 2010)
"Peter Oundjian ranks among the most compelling of Denver's regular guest conductors. He lit up the second half with a thrilling version of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade." (Denver Post, March 2010)"Most beautiful of all was how Oundjian balanced the complex demands of this score without ever intruding on Britten's music. His sense of pacing was outstanding, allowing us to breathe briefly in the transitions from sacred to personal." (Toronto Star, November 2009)

Physical Therapy Billing Codes – Overcoming Coding Challenges
Physical therapy billing codes can be a challenge due to the different methods of treatment and varied reimbursement procedures of different insurance companies especially Medicare. For the purpose of getting paid in a timely manner, here are some tips that can assist a private practice owner in overcoming coding challenges.
Document the necessity of procedures performed. Medicare states that no payment shall be made for any physical therapy billing codes that are not reasonable and necessary for treatment of injury or illness. One important tip to prevent claims denied due to lack of medical necessity is the proper education and training of physical therapy billing staff. Most common reason for this denial is the use of inappropriate physical therapy billing codes which does not match with the diagnosis codes.
Include all assessment and required treatments or equipments in the physical therapy documentation. Initial treatment includes evaluation and any need for equipment required for the patient's fast recovery can be assessed as early as the initial evaluation. Physical therapy billing codes should support the needs for such medical supplies like wheel chair or special shoes for diabetics. Careful analysis of these codes should be done to make sure that the equipment will be covered by the insurance provider.
Use appropriate modifiers. Using physical therapy billing codes modifiers can be used to make documentation and billing more accurate and more apt for the services or treatment performed to a physical therapy patient. Medicare and other insurance providers have specific policies when it comes to using modifiers. It is best to comply to avoid billing claims from getting denied.
Accurate reporting and scheduling of post operative treatments. It is common for some medical conditions requiring surgical treatments to need rehabilitative physical therapy treatment after the surgical procedure. Different physical therapy billing codes apply to different post operative treatments. Scheduling post operative sessions with your patients should be timed and coded properly to avoid any audit risks. Most insurance companies follow a 90-day global period wherein you can use certain physical therapy billing codes. Beyond that point, some specific codes can no longer be used and the billing claims will surely be denied.
With enough education and training, the correct application of physical therapy billing codes when billing patients can be made simpler. As a private practice owner, a physical therapist should make sure that his billing staff is always on top of things but being constantly updated to the changing billing codes and procedures.

Inside a 500-Square-Foot Cabin Makeover
Little House on the Lake
When Sheri and Gerry Weber went in search of a place to put their boats, the two already owned an 1835 Cape-style house in the New Hampshire community of Elkins. The only problem? Their lake getaway sat a full quarter mile from Pleasant Lake. The Webers—including daughters Lucie, Janie, Ali, Jennifer, and Michelle—had to haul their kayaks and canoes every time they decided to go out on the water.
The family had no intention of buying another house until they lucked into a deal too good to pass up: a 500-square-foot cabin right on the water—one of a group of 1920s vacation rentals being sold off.
In this photo: Sheri furnishes the cabin's living room with outdoor finds that can handle wet swimsuits: a wicker sectional sofa from Restoration Hardware and a weather-resistant rug by Dash & Albert. Built-in cubbies store beach blankets and fishing gear, and the ladder leads to a sleeping loft. The walls are painted Strong White by Farrow & Ball.
Before: Living Area
Convenient though the location was, the home did have its drawbacks. Dark, dated paneling. Low ceilings. Teeny-tiny rooms. And virtually no view of the lake. To open the house up, the Webers' architect Jeremy Bonin removed the interior walls to create one large living area (seen on previous slide). Down came the wood paneling and dropped ceiling, bringing to light the framework's studs, as well as cathedral-style roof beams.
A Perch for Beds
"Without the ceiling, it was like, 'Wow!'?" explains Sheri. "We capitalized on all that extra height by putting in a sleeping loft." The futons up there wear vintage plaid wool throw pillows, plus orange-striped alpaca by D. Bryant Archie. The blue-striped coverlets are from Coyuchi, the chevron runner by Madeline Weinrib.
Bright idea: Declare your pride of place by turning state maps into artwork.
Before: Kitchen
Since the "kitchen" is part of the main living area, it had to look good and incorporate clever storage solutions.
After: Kitchen
Kohler sink (set atop an accordion table from Arhaus Furniture) and a simple GE stove do the trick. The family upgraded the makeshift shelves with uniform rectangular units. "It's easy to forget about stuff hidden in a closet," says Sheri. "Cubbies keep whatever you use most in plain sight."
In this photo: Antique duck decoys, a midcentury ad for fishing lures, and a wooden arrow sign mingle with cookware on the shelves. The "7" placard above the bathroom door is a vestige of the home's former life as a vacation rental, while the walls are painted French Gray by Farrow & Ball.
Before: Dining Area
The Webers eschewed this built-in, vinyl-topped table for a mobile sideboard. Here and throughout, they pulled off the wood paneling, exposing the home's original walls with all their nooks and crannies. The pine floors received a sanding to highlight the wood's natural grain.
After: Dining Area
Since the house's walls remain free of sheetrock and insulation, the building is techincally a three-season destination; but a 1970s woodstove (not pictured) makes it possible for the Webers to hang out here in the winter, too, ice-skating on the lake and playing cards by a toasty fire.
In this photo: A wheeled iron cart doubles as a portable bar and stylish storage. Both that piece and the reclaimed-elm stools are by Arhaus Furniture. "Furniture on casters can roll right out of your way when you want to free up space," says Sheri.
Little Vignettes
Sheri treats the newly exposed studs as shelves that showcase Gerry's collections of vintage fishing gear and license plates. By the back door, a moose hook nabbed at a local shop hangs above a 1960s enamel clock. The vintage New Hampshire license plate is from Gerry's extensive collection.
On the Deck
The once squat windows are now generous enough to take in the postcard-worthy scenery. French doors lead to an elevated screened porch off the back.
In this photo: Sheri (in an Eames chair) Gerry, and Riley, the Webers' golden retriever, unwind on the porch.
Backyard Shower
The Webers also indulged in a few fantasy elements they don't have at their nearby house, like an outdoor shower—itself equipped with a view. "You open the shutters and see the lake," says daughter Janie. "It's heaven." The cabin's old garage doors were used to enclose the shower.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced who will chair all of the major House committees in the next Congress. And it turns out they all have something in common besides party affiliation: they're all white men.
There isn't a single woman or minority included in the mix of 19 House committee chairs announced Tuesday — a stark reality for a party desperate to appeal to women and minorities after both groups overwhelmingly rejected Republicans just weeks ago in the presidential election. The one female committee chair that House Republicans currently have, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), is stepping down because her term is up. While there are still two lower-tier House committees awaiting a chair assignment — the Ethics Committee and House Administration — neither committee has any women or minority members.

By Vincent W. Vandiver, Regional Geologist
Walnut Canyon National Monument was reserved by the Government with the idea of the preservation of the numerous cliff dwellings which occur in this area. The geological features of the area are most interesting, however, and for those who will take the time to consider the various processes which contributed to the formation of this canyon, they will find that in miniature much the same factors are involved as those which resulted in the formation of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. I shall endeavor to relate in this report how these geological processes have played such an important part in the carving of the landscape in Walnut Canyon which resulted in an ideal location for the establishment of the homes of the Pueblo cliff-dwellers.
Walnut Canyon National Monument is located about 10 miles southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona, on a loop road connecting with U. S. Highway 66. The presence of walnut trees along the floor of the canyon has supplied its name. The reserve was created as a National Monument in 1915 although it is understood that the area was under the supervision of the Forest Service from 1906. It contains an area of 960 acres. There are of course many ruins in the Southwest of ancient pueblo peoples however there are relatively few cliff dwellings of this type. They are most accessible to large numbers of tourists due to the proximity to one of the main routes of transcontinental travel through this region.
Dr. Harold S. Colton (1), of the Museum of Northern Arizona, states that the cliff dwellings in Walnut Canyon have been dated by the tree ring method indicating that they were occupied by pueblo Indians from around 900 to 1300 A.D. There may be some significance to the fact that these dwellings were being occupied shortly after the last eruption of Sunset Crater, situated some twelve miles to north, and whose last activity has also been estimated by the tree ring method as having taken place around 875 A. D. There are present ruins of some 300 rooms scattered along both sides of Walnut Canyon and it is easy to conceive of upwards to 1000 people living in this settlement. The area was visited by James Stevenson of the Smithsonian Institution in 1883 and he made the following statement: "The doors are large and extend from the ground up to a sufficient height to admit a man without stooping. The rooms are large and the walls are two to four feet thick. The fireplaces are in one corner of the room on an elevated rock, and the smoke can only escape through the door. The masonry compares favorably with the construction of the best villages in Canyon de Chelly. Many objects of interest were found in the debris around and in these houses. Matting, sandals, spindle whorls, and stone implements of various kinds abound." During the interval from the time of Mr. Stevenson's visit and the taking over the area by the Forest Service there was much vandalism. practically all of the objects left by the pueblos were removed and in searching for these materials many of the cliff dwellings were broken down and more or less destroyed. As the result of this vandalism it is doubtful if the detailed story of the peoples of Walnut Canyon will ever be known.
Dr. Colton considers that the people who built these cliff dwellings were probably the ancestors of those who constructed Elden Pueblo and many other sites near Flagstaff. This supposition is arrived at from the similarity of the potsherds and flattened skulls which have been recovered from the various ruins.
The dwellings in Walnut Canyon were constructed under overhanging ledges of limestone two hundred feet or more above the stream bed. Not only were their homes built along the recesses in the side of the canyon wall but retreats were also made on at least five "islands" of promontories in the canyon which served as fortresses as a means of protection against invaders. A trail is in evidence to the right of the present entrance trail to the monument which is believed to have been the route taken to obtain water from the stream or pools in the canyon. Little water now reaches the stream channel to fill the pools due to the recent construction of the Lake Mary dam. During dry periods it is also conceived that water may have been obtained by digging pits in the sand along the floor of the canyon. The remains of broken stone hoes, etc., have been discovered along the flats of the rim areas, northeast of the village, and it is here that the pueblos probably cultivated their meager crops. Another factor which no doubt influenced these peoples to select Walnut Canyon as a desirable place to live is the presence of ledges and recesses especially in the walls along the north side of the canyon which formed a means of protection against the climatic conditions of the severe winters. The presence of water supply nearby and satisfactory soil for cultivation along the rim as well as the "islands" in the canyon which were used as forts were likewise desirable features.
The oldest rocks of the general vicinity of Walnut Canyon belong to the Redwall limestone formation of the Mississippian, along the northeast flanks of Elden Mountain, where uplifted portions of the sedimentary section are exposed by this great laccolith. Above the Redwall is the river flood plain deposit, consisting of sandstones and shales, and containing tracks of land animals and impressions of fern-like plants, which has been termed the Supai formation of Permian age. Next above the Supai is the cross-bedded Coconino sandstone and followed in order by the Kaibab limestone, both of Permian age. It is the two latter formations with which we are most concerned since they make up the sedimentary section of rocks exposed in Walnut Canyon.
Briefly the geologic history of the area may be described by stating that following the deposition of the Kaibab limestone the sea retreated as the region uplifted slightly with the sedimentary rock remaining practically horizontal apparently subjecting the formation to erosion long enough to produce a youthful topography. Upon this surface was deposited the shales and sandstones of the Moenkopi. A great thickness of vari-colored shales and sandstones were then deposited in a large basin by rivers and shallow water lakes. These continental deposits make up the Chinle formation. They contain a land fauna and the remarkable deposits of silicified wood at the Petrified Forest. They supply most of the beautiful coloring to the Painted Desert area and are classed as the uppermost Triassic formation in this region. While these beds form the last record of sedimentation in this territory it is known from a study of the stratigraphy of the surrounding country that great thicknesses of Jurassic, Cretaceous and perhaps Eocene rocks were once present but have all now been removed by erosion.
Below the Kaibab limestone which forms the rim rock at Walnut Canyon, there is the light colored, highly cross bedded sandstone, which has been designated as the Coconino sandstone from its type locality at the Grand Canyon. The contact between the two formations is readily observed along the canyon walls. Located between formations of Permian age, as determined by fossil remains, the Coconino is likewise referred to the Permian Epoch. A closer determination of the age of the Coconino is made as Middle Permian in view of the grading contact with the underlying Hermit shale in the Grand Canyon, whose age has been found to be upper Lower Permian from the fossil flora secured.
The Coconino sandstone occupies a large area in northern Arizona, north of the southern limits of the Colorado Plateau. While much of this region is capped by the Kaibab limestone, the presence of the Coconino is certain from the many exposures in the canyon walls throughout the province From a thickness of 1000 feet at Pine the formation thins out to zero along the Utah boundary. It also thins in a northwest direction towards the Nevada boundary where it is only a few feet thick whereas there is over 600 feet of section in the vicinity of Holbrook. From samples taken by Mr. Edwin McKee (2) the sand grains are predominantly medium coarse grained along the southern limits of the formation and grade into much finer materials to the north. The source of the material is therefore concluded to be from the south, in a barrier believed to have existed during most of earlier Paleozoic time, which extended through central Arizona and is known as Mazatzal land. Geologists generally consider that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the sand grains comprising the Coconino formation were in the main transported by the winds and deposited in the form of sand dunes. The lack of pebbles seems to point towards the wind as the major agent of transportation. The wedge-shaped cross bedded units of this formation are inclined in many directions, a feature not widely produced by the action of water. The only definite fossils thus far discovered in these sandstones are the footprints of amphibians or reptiles and trails made by annelid worms. The fossil evidence available also tends to support the theory of eolian origin of the formation.
The Coconino has supplied its portion of the natural features necessary in the making of Walnut Canyon an ideal site for the cliff dweller. In the valley south of Elden Mountain there are some large sink holes, known as the Bottomless Pits. They form the entrance to caves in the Kaibab limestone, which have been dissolved out by the action of ground waters on the limestone, as they flowed underground along joints and fissures to outlets in the lower levels of Walnut Canyon. The more or less porous Coconino sandstone was favorable to the seepage of this additional water into the canyon. The normal weathering of the Coconino caused much sand to be deposited in the canyon. This condition may in some instances have caused the formation of pools of water just beneath the surface and permitted the pueblo Indians to dig for water during periods of dryness. Then, too, as the canyon was being carved the Coconino was susceptible to certain straightening of the channel and during this process the old meanders of the stream were abandoned and "cut-offs" were formed. These "islands" permitted the Indians to build homes in fortress fashion in the central portions of the canyon and gave them an excellent means of protection.
Overlying the Coconino Sandstone throughout large sections of northern Arizona, except in the east near Holbrook, is the Kaibab limestone. It forms the upper portions of the walls of Walnut Canyon and Grand Canyon as well and caps most of the high plateau of the north-central part of the state. It is composed of grey, sandy limestone, with many horizons filled with chert, also massive layers of limestone interspersed with less resistant beds of shaly sandstone. The lithology of the Kaibab limestone with the constant variation of hard and soft members, the soft weathering away leaving the more competent beds to form overhanging ledges, has resulted in a natural habitat for the cliff dweller in this canyon.
The Kaibab limestone is quite variable in thickness, ranging from upwards to 1000 feet in the Virgin River valley to 600 feet on the Rim of Grand Canyon, and from 300 feet in the vicinity of Flagstaff to zero just east of Holbrook. Mr. Edwin McKee, Park Naturalist at Grand Canyon National Park, has developed some new and interesting details concerning this formation and the results of his study will be published in the near future. At Walnut Canyon the Kaibab is quite fossiliferous. Many marine fossils of brachiopods such as Productus and Spirifers may be observed. In some instances the silica nodules and concretions enclose fossils sponges. Tho various types of fossils collected of which there are some 80 species indicate that the limestone is of shallow water marine origin. Since the limestone was deposited below sea level and now has an elevation of approximately 7,000 feet above sea level there is every reason to believe that the region has been uplifted on a large scale. It will be noted along the walls of the canyon that the contact of the limestone with tho underlying Coconino is practically horizontal and it is therefore assumed that the Kaibab sea advanced rapidly at the close of Coconino time since there is no evidence of erosion of importance along this line of contact.
An important point to consider with respect to the Kaibab formation and the cliff dwellers in this canyon is the presence of softer members of sandy limestone interspersed in the section with the more resistant or massive limestone beds. This condition during the process of the carving of the canyon and the normal weathering processes gave rise to ragged, vertical cliffs, with recessed grooves in the walls which finally formed the homes of the pueblo Indians. The ledges may have been formed in part by the action of the stream on the softer beds when it was cutting away at much higher levels, but the process may be explained in most instances I believe, by the normal agencies of differential weathering.
Since the structural details would involve a rather lengthy report it may suffice to say briefly that they include upward movements at the close of the Permian and profound uplifting during the Tertiary. Generally speaking the uplifts have caused greater displacements of the rock strata than the faults, especially in the southern portion of the Colorado Plateau area. The exact time of the uplift which resulted in the canyon cycle of erosion to form the Grand Canyon, Walnut Canyon, and many other canyons in this region is still the subject of considerable difference of opinion.
As regards to Walnut Canyon in particular, during one of the later periods of uplift, the rock strata were broken forming what has been termed the Anderson Mesa fault. This fracture in the earth's surface represents a displacement of around 300 feet, strikes N 65° W, with the uplifted block on the northeast side. The fault no doubt partially dammed the stream but since the uplift was so slow the stream was able to maintain its channel and thereby with the additional gradient and power supplied the cutting tool gained sufficient force to carve Walnut Canyon. Dr. Colton has referred to these clefts as being actually sawed, with the body of the saw composed of the water, the teeth made up by the boulders, pebbles and sand grains, and the energy being supplied by gravity. Much the same factors were necessary in the cutting of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. Minor North-south faulting along Walnut creek has probably been responsible for some of the zig-zag courses which the stream followed. The stream followed these breaks or cross-faults as a line of least resistance in the softer broken rocks before returning to its normal course. As cut-offs were formed and the old meanders abandoned the central "islands" were carved out.
It is thought that the following points may prove of interest to the visitors without boring them with too much geological detail:
I. Walnut Canyon may be termed a Grand Canyon in miniature in which a broad regional uplift supplied the stream with the necessary power to carve the gorge.
II. The stream working through zones of weakness along minor north-south faults which cross the canyon, developed many meanders or goose necks, and when later these were carved through, cut-offs forming "islands" remained which the pueblos have utilized as fortresses.
III. Ledges in the Kaibab limestone were formed by the differential weathering of the hard and soft members. The massive resistant limestone beds for the ledge which served as the roof and floor and the weaker sandy limestones eroded more rapidly to form the recesses in which the cliff dwellings were constructed.
IV. The contact between the Kaibab and the Coconino seems a worth while feature to point out as well as the nature of the Coconino sandstone with typical characteristics of a wind blown dune deposit.
V. The marine fossils in the Kaibab limestone should prove of interest as they clearly demonstrate the uplift that has taken place in the general area. These beds are now some 7,000 feet above sea level.

FDA Clinical Trials Help Heal Sick Dogs
DALLAS (Ivanhoe Newswire) – Just like humans, animals can suffer from a variety of diseases. Also, just like humans, they can benefit from clinical research.
Hank is a 10-year-old dog who loves his playtime. However, when Hank developed arthritis in his hip, he wasn't able to keep up with his sister Harriet.
"When he wakes up, it takes him a few minutes to get up and start walking in the morning," Hank's owner Kaye Coleman told Ivanhoe.
Coleman enrolled him in a clinical trial to test CereKin, a new therapy for arthritis in dogs.
"Some of the dogs are doing a lot better on it," veterinarian Dickson Bain, DVM, Hillside Veterinary Clinic, Dallas, told Ivanhoe.
Dr. Bain says there are FDA trials for dogs with all kinds of ailments
"Basically, pets have everything we have, so we treat them for pretty much everything people have," Bain explained.
About 6 million dogs are diagnosed with cancer each year, 800 thousand have type 1 diabetes, and more than 14 million pets in the U.S. have arthritis.
"Any dog over 50 pounds is going to have arthritis," Bain said.
A team of animal and human doctors recently launched the National Veterinary Cancer Registry, which helps pet owners find clinical trials in their area. The goal is to help animals and humans. Many times, the trials are free and owners don't know if their pet will receive a drug or a placebo.
Hank seems to be getting around better since starting the clinical trial. Coleman hopes he continues to improve.
"I would hope that it gives him a quality of life that he can sustain for the rest of his life," Coleman said.
Experts say a major benefit of studying treatments in dogs is researchers can decrease the cost and cut the time involved in drug discovery. That's because dogs age many times faster than humans and their diseases typically progress more rapidly. There are also many clinical trials for cats and other pets.

LANSING, MI (WLNS) - Governor Rick Snyder issued his warning Wednesday about the upcoming transition in weather conditions, saying "Michigan needs to be prepared and ready to act ahead of time."
"So this is a situation where we want to be precautionary particularly with respect to potential flooding challenges and other challenges related to, again, high winds and freezing temperatures again with a lot of water out there. So it's something we want to give people a heads up and make sure we're prepared, we're already taking a number of actions," said Governor Rick Snyder (r), Michigan.
Governor Snyder described this year as a tough one so far in terms of dangerous temperatures and heavy snowfall.
Now, there's the potential for flooding. Officials statewide will be monitoring rivers and crews will be cleaning storm drains along highways in preparation for melting snow today and rain tonight.

By LAURA HALM 6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - One dollar could make someone a millionaire Friday night. The drawing for the Mega Millions jackpot was worth an estimated $425,000,000.
Those winning numbers include 19, 24, 26, 27, 70 and the Megaball is 12.
Experts say the odds of winning is about one in 259,000,000, but that didn't stop excitement from buzzing.
Phyllis Fraise was hoping she would have beginners luck. "This is my first time playing and hopefully I'll win. I got the winners," she said.
Fraise was taking more than one chance playing Mega Millions by buying more than one ticket, "It takes one but I got this one for luck."
Dreams of becoming a millionaire seemed more like a possibility Friday. "Probably wouldn't sink in until after I got it but I'd say it probably would feel really nice," said Matthew Key.
Customers feeling generous were making promises to employees selling those tickets.
"A thousand dollars if they win or some large amount of money if they win big," said Cheyanne Mize who works at Exxon off Middlebrook Pike.
When it comes to picking those winning combinations some let the computer choose, while others picked birthdays or anniversaries. Patrick Patterson, however, did his homework.
"Basically what I did was pull the site and looked at the ones that were the most common coming up and made a list," added Patterson.
Signs were flashing Friday morning for an estimated $400,000,000 jackpot. That quickly changed to a whopping $425,000,000, which encouraged some to buy $20 in tickets.
"Normally it's $5 but when it's up higher I usually buy more," said Jennifer Hucklebee.
She said she has plans on how to spend all that cash.
"Pay off all my debt, quit work, go to Florida," added Hucklebee.
Half the fun is playing and being Friday the 13th it was even better for the superstitious.
"Most people look at it as a bad day but I look at it as a positive day," said Patterson.
Officials with Tennessee Lottery suggest you sign the back of your ticket so that no one else can claim your winnings but you.

Radiator Size Calculator
One of the most commonly asked questions is how powerful an infrared panel heater do I require for my room?. As we have mentioned many times on the website, our technology is 3x as efficient as conventional radiators, so you will probably be surprised by how little power you require to warm your room.
Youll also probably be surprised to find out just how easy it is to work out the output required for your room. In short, the wattage output required is the cubic volume of the room in meters squared multiplied by 25.
To give a working example:
Room size, in meters = 2.5 x 2 x 2.4m, therefore the cubic volume (multiply the three dimensions together) is 12 meters squared.
Multiply this number by 25 and you get 300, so for this room you would need a 300 watt infrared radiator. This would make our smallround at 310w ideal for this space. Remember that unlike convection heaters our radiators can also be mounted anywhere you like within the room (including the ceiling) without any effect upon heating efficiency.

Griffin has a nice prospect in Azorian
A fine shot of Azorian coming home in front of Sizing Coal and Padre Tito at Kilfeacle
(Healy Racing Photos)
Jim Dreaper's charge put in a most satisfactory performance under Jamie Flynn but he failed by three lengths to match Eoin Griffin's Azorian.
Dreaper had said of Sizing Coal in the Irish Field back in March 2012: "He had a racecourse school over fences a few weeks ago and went well. He'll start off in a point-to-point but we might wait until later on in the year. He is a fine big chasing type of horse and he has the world of jumping done."
Azorian, another debutante, was expected to do the business last Sunday, so you can be pretty sure Jamie Codd's (later doubled-up on Bothair Clei) mount has a good future ahead of him. Griffin's sister Claire McAuley owns the victorious Westerner gelding and he was bred by their father Sean. (EM)
