Has science made us gods even before we've become worthy of being men?
"Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men"
said the biologist and philosopher Jean Rostand almost 70 years ago, at the beginning of the Nuclear Arms race.
Is that quote even more true today or have we grown to be better people? Has science given us too much power? Will we ever be able to use that power responsibly?
I believe that science has given us power to create and destroy at "godlike" proportions, but we might've not grown enough morally to be able to use that power responsibly. I don't deny science, nor I think scientific knowledge can go "too far". What I'm worried about is how we use (or don't) that knowledge today and how shall we continue to use it in the future.
Just to clear things up: For me this question is purely a question about morals. I don't put any spiritual meaning in it. I don't believe people are divine, gods or anything "special" like that. Even with science we're still men with all the good and bad parts that come with us being just human.
Jun 27 2011: I believe this to be a complex subject and requires that several factors be looked at extensively. These factors include social change, morality, knowledge, wisdom and arguments such as "Nature versus Nurture" - who we really are and how we become to be who we are (Which I will not address as then my post would be too long).
Nuclear destruction is on a lot of peoples minds. Many people believe that we will be our own end. It's almost universal that people realize that we are, in some shape or form, "in over our heads", or "too naive". I wonder if anybody has paused to ask why this actually is?
During my life I have observed the human race to be very efficient at passing down knowledge from one generation to the next (comparatively to other things, such as wisdom). We have several different types of schools for hundreds of different branches of knowledge. Just look at the differences in science 500 years ago, or even 50 years ago - unlike then, scientists have been given almost free reign over their research.
There is no doubt in my mind that knowledge is growing exponentially.
During my observations of human race, I have found that in terms of wisdom, we seem to reinvent the wheel. We all seem to make the same mistakes as we go through life, we grow as a person through our experiences - whether its in love, or in science, one of our main approaches to life is to "live and learn".
In my opinion, we haven't an efficient way of passing on wisdom. The only sure-fire way of understanding something to it's fullest extent, is to experience it, to make the mistake ourselves - and even then, some people are prone to making the same mistake again.
We haven't the wisdom, the understanding to use the knowledge which is exponentially growing, until we find a way to pass down wisdom as efficiently as knowledge, the gap will only widen.
As that gap widens, I feel our room for error only gets bigger.
Nick Lemyre
Jul 17 2011: That couldn't be more true. We humans, morally, are still pretty much the same as we were a few thousand years ago. Of course, yes we don't really behave the same anymore, but that is more due to us being restricted to do so by rules. We still need incentives to to right, we still need punishments to stop wrong. IWe need to ensure a durable way to transmit not only knowlege, available to the grasp of any willing to work hard enough on it, but wisdom.
- +1
If I wanted to give an easy answer, I would say ensure the elderly live on long enough to transmit their experiances. However, as you so effectively pointed out, most people nowadays feel not the need to seek them out, not untill it is too late. Another problem with this mistake is that not all elderly are the wise and knowlegable patriarchs and matriarchs. They are also humans, and as so, may be flawed.
I believe storytelling is a very effective way to instill this at childhood. Not the modern, debilliting stories of piggie the puggy pink pig, but true actual stories, with deep morals and examples. As they grow up, don't indoctrinate them, use the Pythagorian kind of learning, in which they must develop their own thoughs rather than gobble up those they are given. Be a guide, not an instructor.
Truth be told, there is no better way of obtaining wisdom than earning it. Forbidding something leads to indoctrination rather than comprehension, and hiding some things only makes them more vulnerable to them. Thus is indeed the greatest riddle of our time. How do we transmit wisdom?
Dustin Boyd
Jun 30 2011: Wisdom for all! So how do we effectively pass on Wisdom? The first thing that comes to my mind - We have to look at the way we are treating our elders. In Western culture, when you get old, you are often assumed to be weak and feeble and incapable work. Unfortunately, our elders are looked upon as a burden, instead of a wellspring of knowledge and wisdom.

I must say I have been guilty of such misconceptions. It took me 23 years to realize that my grandmother isn't just a sick old woman who has lost her mind. Once I began to ACTUALLY talk with her, I realized I couldn't have been more wrong.

Jun 21 2011: My opinion....
- +2
Just like children, we (the human race) are still very naive. If we are the first species with a brain that allows us to be so creative and think on our own, then we definitely have much to learn. And, also like a child, we sometimes act like we are invincible, or unstoppable. Like Aaron Morrison was saying, in a previous post, "getting older makes you more able to see change... really you have a broader point of reference to base your thoughts/ideas/reality on..." we are very young as humans, and naturally, we don't always think about consequences. We may feel like we can act like God's, but we have so much to learn. I feel that we need to slow down a little, and take time to fully (as fully as we can) evaluate the consequences of our decisions.Jun 17 2011: I remember my Dad saying the same thing decades ago… and all he would say when I asked he same question was.. "you will see son…."
He was right about a lot of things.. more than I thought at the time… getting older makes you more able to see change… really you have a broader point of reference to base your thoughts / ideas / reality on…
Take for instance the idea that we could throw our garbage out the window of our cars and expect it to somehow not matter… or pollute the water by continuing to disregard what we flush down the toilet or release from our factories… or how we allow large overflows of sewage… and somehow that wouldn't matter either… well that was the view back then… wasn't ok back then… and even more true today…
Just stop look and listen… the world is groaning under the weight of our consistent disregard … Think I am being a little harsh here… check out any water related website..
Or grab your camera and go down to the waterway where you live, take some photos and ask yourself would I drink that water… Check out the reports of how your water supply measures up.. find out all the chemicals that are in it.. I could go on and on but as this Sunday is Fathers Day, I'll raise a glass to my Dad and say.. "you were right dad…" and even more true today!Jun 19 2011: Hardly, if anything, to anyone who is paying very close attention, it makes us humbler or should. Because what the leading edge of science keeps bumping against lately is how much we don;t know and will never know . For example Perfect Sprials has thrown a big wrench into what decades of science had come to. Our science, our scientific model is very primitive and limiting..not just on science and its advancements but on us culturally because that same limiting paradigm is ingrained in us..etched in us. I love the kid in the TED Talk who as an intern at a pretty tiny second rate lab built a quantum object.However that kid thinks is what science needs ( but he's moving on..he doesn't want to have to do the Darwin thing and spend the rest of his life arguing with the ingrained entrenched establishment who have built careers and reputations on things they many not be quite right).
Bob Shingles
Jun 18 2011: We are NOT gods, a god-like creature would have some form of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power) or omnipresence (present everywhere).
- +1
We are still men, our sticks for clubbing things have just grown more destructive. We are far from immortal.
If people are going to cite Al Gore for anything climate related, have them try to find a conversation in which he addresses why meteorologists can't get their forecasts correct. Apparently our world is doomed in so many years yet we can't get an accurate weather forecast for the week.
Yes we have made powerful breakthroughs as a species but it can all end in a flash today if a giant rock was to hit our planet.
Jun 19 2011: Of course we're not god(s) and we never will be. We're men with all the good and bad parts that come with this.
However, our knowledge is giving us power of god-like proportions and to quote Churchill (not Spider-man!) -- "With great power comes great responsibility". Responsibility that we might've forgotten somewhere along the way.
And yes it all can end in a flash. From a giant rock *or* a nuclear apocalypse.Jul 8 2011: I know i am a little late entering the debate. I think this question has very interesting implications. And unlikely source of reading into this would actually be some smartly written superhero comics which give us an insight into how everyday humans would react to yielding powers which sort of us gives them demi-god status complete with the moral question and complexities that it brings. Watchmen would be a good example.
I am not trying to trivialize the question, all i am saying is that since science provides humans to be creative on a "godlike" level, it is entirely upto us to use it responsibly, and based on the evidence, that is more or less the case. Even the abberrations have been well-meaning and we just need to focus on the creative aspect of it more.Jun 26 2011: I think it is in our nature to question the morality of what we do with science. I'm sure that the individuals like those on the Manhattan project spent nights wonder if they were doing right thing. The old quote "it is not a question of can we but should we?
I think we have to watch our moral compass more today then ever before because large corporation lead the exploration of our scientific endeavors. In the past, the major of those who sought knowledge went to universities and mostly looked to understand. Now, I believe more people are looking for a pay check and are willing to push the envelope without questioning it. They are not looking to understand but to bring results for the company. This in my opinion is the most dangerous type of science.Jun 21 2011: I do believe we're getting ahead of ourselves. But it's always worked that way I suppose. I think it's very important that as we apply ideas, we always give credit where it's do. One smart guy comes up with an idea, the rest of the species eventually benefits from it, and then we all say how smart and great we are, while generally remaining ignorant of the specific details.
I see it as the smartest among us bring it to the next level, and it forces people to become more educated about such things after being immersed in it long enough. Imagine if someone didn't have a concept of what germs were for instance.
I think that as technology and science develops, it's also important to increase our education regarding it. When I hear a person on their cell phone yelling about how their "stupid" phone is cutting out, there's a part of me that just thinks, wow I bet this guy doesn't even know how a cell phone works in the slightest, yet here he is criticizing.Jun 17 2011: What do you mean when you say "even more true today"? Can science make us "gods" at all? And does "gods" mean we're tinkering with evolution by exploring its scientific basic principles, or are you referring to something more spiritual? Maybe it would help if you shared *your* opinion about the topic with us to launch the debate?
Jun 19 2011: I think that by "Science has made us gods" he meant that science has given us the power to create and destroy at "godlike" proportions, at least that's how I interpret it. I am not referring to anything spiritual, nor I want to state a single correct answer or opinion.
I just think it's about time we begin asking that question more often.
PS: I edited the debate description to make things more clear. Tell me if there's something still unclear about the question. :)

What we offer:
A comprehensive approach to training new teams and providing support to quality improvement for existing teams, including six essential elements:
Who we are:
Qualified ACT trainers are experts with extensive experience in community mental health services and in the development, operation and research of ACT programs. Consultant backgrounds and training include nursing, social work, psychiatry, occupational therapy, vocational rehabilitation, forensic issues, substance abuse counseling, and public administration. ACT trainers have provided training to teams in Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, among other states. The PACT Model of Community-Based Treatment for Persons with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness: A Manual for PACT Start-Up forms the basis for training and technical assistance.
Our Mission:
The mission of ACT trainers is to lend experience and expertise to ACT team providers, state policy makers, key stake-holders and community mental health providers for the development of exemplary Assertive Community Treatment programs, which are cost- effective, efficient, and valued by consumers, families, and communities. ACT trainers focus on the development and identification of in-state ACT experts to ensure that the provider system has internal capacity for on-going training.
What you can expect from ACT operational start-up orientation and training:
General orientation to ACT using the National Recommended PACT Standards for New Teams and the PACT Start-up Manual as a guide for training
The role of the Team Leader and Psychiatrist. Differences and similarities in roles.
Recovery and self-determination
Orientation to teamwork, shared responsibilities
Orientation to organizing the admissions, assessment and individualized treatment planning process
Orientation to the ACT organizational tools
Side-by-side training may consist of the following based on individual team needs or stage of development:
The vision of ACT and general orientation to ACT using the PACT Start-up Manual and Manual Review as a guide
Teamwork and team dynamics
Team Leader and Psychiatrist roles/ leadership issues
Role integration of specialists: vocational, substance abuse, nursing, and peer specialists
Managing admissions and completion of assessments (timelines, initial, and comprehensive)
Case conferences and individualized treatment planning
ACT organizational tools
Medication set up, administration and support
Individualizing employment
Other team needs as identified in work plan developed prior to side-by-side
Written report provided to team leadership upon completion of each side-by-side training event
What you can expect from off-site mentoring:
General support, training and problem solving by telephone with team leader
Off-site review and recommendations for policies and procedures
Visit to experienced ACT team to observe exemplary team practice, including case conferences and individualized treatment planning meetings to assist and reinforce skills related to the development of client specific, objective, and measurable treatment plans and weekly client schedules that tie directly to the treatment plan.
Off-site focused training events for team leadership and specialists, for example a statewide 2-day training for ACT team leaders
Recommended Training for New Teams:
First Year Start-up
First 2-3 day meeting at start-up with team leadership and team staff when the entire team has been hired and ideally before it begins serving clients. Training emphasizes the ACT model and vision, organizational tools, team/organizational psychology, philosophy of client based services, integration of roles/team dynamics, assessment and individualized treatment planning.
Second 2-3 day side-by-side training with the entire team with two trainers when team has been hired and is serving clients (2-3 months in operation). Concentrated training is on general services, organizing admissions, individualized treatment planning, daily teamwork, medication set-up, pharmacy issues, and employment.
Third 2 -3 day side by side occurs at six-nine months and primarily concentrates on individualized treatment planning and employment.
Fourth 2-3 day side-by-side occurs at one year and focuses on evaluation and troubleshooting.
Off-site mentoring includes monthly calls primarily with Team Leader to provide support and reinforce team attitudes, knowledge and skills related to ACT development.
Second Year
General training goal is to continue assisting the team in fully implementing ACT organizational tools, treatment, rehabilitation, and support. Consultants continue emphasis on organization of services, integration of roles, team building, individualized treatment planning, and employment services. Staff turnover may have occurred during the first year, therefore, trainers may provide some re-orientation on organizational and model components.
Three, 2-3 day "side by side" trainings per program by a team of two consultants.
At least monthly telephone consults/mentoring focusing primarily on assessment, individualized treatment planning and organizational tools and processes issue related consultation with Team Leader.
Third Year
Two, 2-3 day "side by side" trainings per program by a team of two consultants. Trainers emphasize evaluation, troubleshooting, and quality improvement.
As needed, off- site mentoring focusing on issues and needs identified by Team Leader.
"As a Team Leader of a PACT Team completing its first year of implementation, I cannot imagine how our team could have made it without the instruction & guidance provided by (the lead consultant) and the team of PACT consultants. They provided us with the practical tools needed to implement a team, but also gave us a vision of hope that we could truly make a difference in the lives of the people we serve. We have already seen amazing results by using the PACT Model. We cannot thank them enough for all their invaluable assistance."
(Tom Economos, MPH, MSW; Team Leader - Tampa FACT Team, Psychotherapeutic Services of Florida)
"I cannot say enough how valuable your training and even your teaching method has been." (Participant, Birmingham, AL)
"Invaluable information and experience that convinces me of the importance of being true to the PACT model. I'm very thankful for the training at this time before we went any further." (Participant, Birmingham, AL)

Top story
Creston cleans up after EF2 tornado
April 14
The top story of 2012 occured on a spring evening when a strong EF2 tornado touched down in Creston at approximately 7:05 p.m. April 14. The tornado carried peak winds estimated at 130 miles per hour and the average path width was 600 yards.
The tornado began about one and a-half miles east of Cromwell and tracked northeast through the far northwest portion of Creston.
The tornado caused severe damage to Creston's north side. Still today, repairs are being made to houses and facilities in the path of the storm.
Southwestern Community College and GRMC received major damage during the tornado with the worst damage occurring to Green Hills Area Education Agency building. Many houses, condos and apartments, especially along Townline Street, sustained damage from the tornado.
Several were reported completely destroyed.
There was structural damage at the elementary, middle and high schools in Creston. The school district's bus barn also had major damage.
The tornado continued tracking northeast and damaged farmsteads once outside city limits. It dissipated 10 miles northeast of Creston.
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad paid a visit to the Creston area and took a tour of the damages. Branstad declared Union County an emergency-disaster area.
There were no casualties in the storm. Three people did suffer injuries and were transported to Des Moines. Eventually, they were all treated and released.
To see the path of the storm and photos captured by the News Advertiser after it hit, see the map, above right.
Iowa farmland values reach
record high
Jan. 6
The average value of Iowa farmland increased 32.5 percent from 2010, to $6,708 per acre — this according to the Iowa Land Value Survey conducted by Iowa State University in November.
This is a new all-time high in farmland value.
Paul Maynes, President of Maynes Real Estate in Lenox, said there are several reasons for this increase.
"We've had an increase — a substantial increase — in corn and bean prices," Maynes said. "The value of the dollar seems to be losing its purchasing power, in my opinion."
State Rep. Clel Baudler, Greenfield, also believes the increase in land value has to do with the increase in prices for crops.
"Right now every commodity is high — hogs, cattle, corn, beans, hay," Baudler explained. "Texas hay is worth a couple hundred dollars because of the drought."
Murder shakes Mount Ayr
Jan. 16
MOUNT AYR — In early January, Robert Darren Taylor, 40, allegedly shot and killed 45-year-old Lori Yeager at the house they shared in Mount Ayr. There was an active arrest warrant for Taylor on the charge of first-degree murder.
According to an Iowa Public Safety press release, at approximately 2:06 a.m. Jan. 16 the Ringgold County Communications Center received a 911 call from 2339 280th St., Mount Ayr.
A juvenile inside the home called and reported a domestic altercation between Taylor and Yeager. The responding deputies later found Yeager dead inside the home. Taylor was not located at the home.
According to a family member, Taylor shot Yeager, took the gun and left the scene, leaving their 9-year-old daughter behind, who called 911.
Law enforcement actively searched for Taylor. He had last been seen driving a copper (burnt orange) 2008 Ford F 350 Super Duty truck with Iowa license 981 RZD.
Taylor was pulled over on Interstate 29 that night, and rather than being taken into custody, Taylor shot and killed himself.
battle blaze at Hulett & Son Auto Salvage
March 14
More than 150 salvage cars and about 20 acres of grass were burned during a fire at Hulett & Son Auto Salvage in Creston March 14.
Creston Fire Chief Todd Jackson said the fire started shortly after 1 p.m. when a pile of tree limbs and yard trimmings, which had been smoldering for several weeks nearby at the city compost site, ignited and spread toward the salvage yard.
Creston Fire Department responded to Hulett & Son Auto Salvage, 1708 Osage St., at about 1:18 p.m. and quickly called for mutual aid. Six fire departments responded, including Creston, Orient, Afton, Clearfield, Lenox and Lorimor, 20 firetrucks and more than 50 firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze.
"Our first concern when we arrived was the residence near the salvage yard and the surrounding buildings, and the second thing was we didn't want the fire to spread north across the railroad tracks," Jackson said. "It was a large fire, and we called a lot of resources to get ahead of it and so it wouldn't get any bigger. Access was difficult and the cars provided a lot of fuel for the fire. Luckily, the wind wasn't too bad. It could have been worse."
Firefighters stopped the blaze several feet before it reached the BNSF railroad tracks. No damage was done to the residence of Chuck Hulett, located near the salvage yard property, or the surrounding buildings and nobody was injured during the fire. Two ambulances were on scene to provide rehabilitation to the firefighters as thick, dark smoke engulfed the area and was visible for several miles surrounding Creston.
The fire was extinguished shortly after 4 p.m.

Drought: Clock ticking on area crops, pastures
July 23
Local crop and soil experts say the area is withstanding the prolonged drought relatively well.
But, time is running out for favorable yields and sufficient pasture feeding conditions.
And, long-range forecasts aren't providing farmers and ranchers much hope.
Relief is not on the radar, literally, from the National Weather Service. For the Midwest, forecasters don't see any drastic improvement in the hot, dry trends for weeks. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast for the month of August indicates a "high probability for little rain" for all or parts of 15 states in the center of the nation's drought.
This includes Iowa, and states with even worse crop conditions, such as Illinois and Indiana.
For the next week, high temperatures will continue to run at or near triple digits, which is about 12 degrees hotter than normal.
The combination of extreme heat and prolonged lack of moisture creates a double-whammy for feeding grasslands, as well as local corn and soybean fields.
"Now, the fields have accumulated a lot of heat. It's attacking day after day after day," said Tracy Cameron, agronomist for Gavilon Ag Service. "It's kind of like having the flu. You can weather one day of it. But if you have it for three weeks, it wears you down."
Cameron said there are visible signs of heat stress, particularly in cornfields.
"When it's way too warm in the daytime, and it doesn't cool down at night, the corn expends too much energy trying to stay alive," Cameron said. "It does things to the yields. The plants end up aborting some of the kernels. There were also some pollination problems for some of the corn planted later."
In rows of 6-foot tall corn, there are signs of stress. Leaves are rolling — corn's self-preservation technique to conserve moisture — and the ears are small. Some cornstalks are "firing" — drying out and turning brown from the roots up. That normally doesn't happen until September.
"That's a sign the plant is pulling nutrients from those areas to feed the ear and keep the plant alive," Cameron said. "It progresses up the plant the longer it goes without moisture."
Creston School Board accepts Hood's resignation
Aug. 3
Creston School Board approved 4-1 the resignation of Tim Hood during a meeting in early August. Board member Rich Flynn was the only board member to vote no. Hood accepted a position as superintendent of Keokuk Community School District.
The school board unanimously approved a $110,000 contract in early September to hire interim superintendent Chuck Scott for the 2012-13 school year.on School Board President Rick Fyock.
Four candidates, including Scott, Jerry Waugh, Dave Sextro and Mike Hardy were interviewed for the Creston interim superintendent position Aug. 29.
Former CHS Activities Director Curt Olson dies
Sept. 19
Curt Olson, Creston resident, retired athletic director, volunteer and friend of Creston Schools, died Sept. 19. The funeral was 2:30 p.m. Sept. 24 in the Creston High School gym.
In 1982, he became the assistant principal and activities Director at Creston High School, where he remained for the final 22 years of his career.
Curt went to work every day and tried to make a difference in the lives of young people. He worked with Guidance Counselors to find students who may have a drug, alcohol or emotional problem and get them help. He would stick his neck out to help them. Curt worked very hard at making sure the rules were for everyone. He made sure his "Guys" got a square deal. Probably the most important thing for the farmer boy from Manilla was helping kids get diplomas.
Green suspended as water works manager
Nov. 19
Creston Water Department Manager Steve Green was suspended with pay Friday afternoon after an emergency Water Board meeting was called.
Lee McNichols, Creston Water Board member and spokesperson, cited "alleged irregularities" as the reason for the suspension of Green, who has been with the department 31 years.
McNichols said Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and officials with Iowa Auditor's office executed a search warrant at a garage owned by Green in Creston earlier Friday.
According to minutes of the meeting, water board members met at 1:30 p.m. Friday and went into executive session. At 1:38 p.m. they came out of executive session and approved a motion to place Green on "paid administrative leave pending review of outside legal counsel." The motion was approved unanimously by all board members — Chairman Dennis Bailey, Bill Stuart, Cathy Dryden, Kenneth Sharp and McNichols.
The board also voted to remove Green as an authorized signer on all bank accounts effective immediately and remove him as a signer on the company credit card.
Creston youth killed in Friday morning crash
Dalton Hribal, 16, of Creston died after the van he was a passenger in went out of control on a gravel road in Adams County.
According to an Iowa State Patrol report, a 17-year-old, driving a 2002 Honda van west on 190th Street east of Quincy Avenue, north of Prescott, crested a hill and lost control of the vehicle. The driver overcorrected causing the van to go partially into the north ditch. The driver then overcorrected again causing the vehicle to go into the south ditch where it rolled and Hribal was ejected.
The driver was transported to the Adams County Hospital where he was treated and released. Iowa State Patrol released no names, including the driver, and no other details were given.
Five days earlier, Shawnna Michelle Curtis, 26, of Creston was killed after her 2008 Ford struck a deer 7:15 p.m. Nov. 21 on Highway 34 in Montgomery County.
According to an Iowa State Patrol crash report, Curtis was driving east on Highway 34 when a deer entered the roadway. The deer collided with the vehicle, came through the windshield, and hit Curtis. The vehicle continued east, then entered the north ditch where it rolled once.
Curtis was pronounced dead at the scene.
Jury slaps Monday's wrist, awards DeMarco $1,000
Dec. 14
The jury more or less slapped Lois Monday's wrist Dec. 14.
At 4:50 p.m. Dec. 14, the jury's verdict found Monday did defame the county's former third-party administrator Frank DeMarco and awarded him $1,000 in general damages. Further, the jury awarded DeMarco no money in punitive damages, and Monday is not obligated to pay DeMarco's legal fees.
"I was fine with the verdict," Monday said this morning in a Creston News Advertiser interview. "The jury had a tough decision to make. But, someone told me a long time ago there will always be people out there looking to take away your hard earned money, and you better be prepared. People are sue happy. DeMarco wanted big bucks, but I didn't work all my life for someone to come in and fleece me."
DeMarco was claiming Monday made defematory comments that injured his reputation and caused him more than $800,000 in lost business at Greater Regional Medical Center and Ringgold and Audubon counties. In closing statments, DeMarco's attorney Mark Sherinian suggested the jury award DeMarco $50,000 in damages.
"While Mr. DeMarco is dissappointed in the amount of the verdict, the jury's conclusion is a clear window into the character of Lois Monday," DeMarco's attorney Mark Sherinian said in a press release this morning. "It also serves as a warning to the Union County community that when Lois Monday speaks, her personal attacks should be taken with a lot of salt."

KAREN HOCHMAN is Editorial Director of THE NIBBLE.
June 2005
We taste a lot of salsas, and most are pleasant but not special enough beyond what's available almost everywhere to merit writing up as a Nibble.
That's why we were excited by the refreshing sweet and hot flavor profile of Cherry Apple Salsa by Maria's Style, a product of Reid Foods, a Chicago manufacturer of salsas and sauces.
The dominant flavor is cherry—tasting like the fresh cherries of summer have been harvested and crushed into the jar. Flavor nuances and texture are provided by diced tomatoes, red bell peppers and onions, with jalapeños for heat and lemon juice for sprightliness. All of the ingredients are fresh, and the salsa is preservative-free.
Salsas are by nature low fat, low carb, and low cal; and Cherry Apple Salsa weighs in at nine calories a tablespoon, no fat, and minimal sodium and carbs. It's a bargain.
We enjoyed Cherry Apple Salsa in a variety of ways:
Maria's "Salsa of the Month Club" lets salsa lovers receive a new salsa every month of the year. It's not a bad gift idea for a hard-to-buy-for person who loves salsa, or who's always on a diet, since salsas provide so much flavor for so few calories. There are 3, 6, 9, and 12 month plans at $12 a month, which includes shipping. However, as there are only six flavors of salsa, after six months the flavors repeat. In addition to the Cherry Apple Salsa, there are Black Bean Salsa, Hot Salsa, Medium Salsa, Peach Salsa, and Salsa Verde.
But for our nickel (or $12), a monthly jar of Cherry Apple Salsa is a treat we can't find elsewhere, and will gladly continue to treat ourself to.

Certainly, some old capacitor microphones could be damaged by phantom power, so you were always expected to wait 30 seconds after turning off phantom power before unplugging the microphone, and never to plug in microphones while phantom power was on!
Not so sure it is an issue these days - of more concern is that when you unplug, you may get a very loud signal at the amps or desk - which could potentially damage them!

When Crowdfunding Doesn't Work
As much as I know about crowdfunding even I get campaigns that don't work. In this case I was raising money for a studio. Not a lot of money like some people ask for just a measly $3,500. With all the people I know worldwide not one person bit. Not family, colleagues, nor friends. However I'll get umpteen emails asking for money and getting people lawyers and all that. I had to look at the strategy and figure I did something or several things wrong. So I might launch again at Indiegogo instead of GoFundMe. Here's a link to my campaign I started last year:
Gofundme doesn't allow for displaying more than one pic or artwork. I'll talk to the owner about that. I believe I'll have more success at Indiegogo.
Re: When Crowdfunding Doesn't Work
I would've been happy to help support the effort Greg if I knew about it. Next time bring it to AN and promote what you're doing. Also ya gotta work on those rewards.
Re: When Crowdfunding Doesn't Work
Thanks Charles. The rewards I was looking at. Even so the amount I was asking was so small putting together a large reward package would have eaten significantly into the donations unless the donations went past the mark.
Re: When Crowdfunding Doesn't Work
Good rewards, aggressive promotion, all of it works together for a successful campaign. Indiegogo would be a better platform Greg. Don't forget the video. You can get the funding you're looking for if you structure the campaign. Keep in mind that Indiegogo has flexible funding too.
Re: When Crowdfunding Doesn't Work
Hey sir, i was curious... was there a reason why you did not try to fund a production around your evol baby property, and utilize it's fanbase for the crowd-sourcing revenue?
Re: When Crowdfunding Doesn't Work
Marius because the Evol Baby property is continually being optioned for film. A real pain in the ass process as I have four properties that keep getting optioned for film. This time however, the reps have to pay me great money first so as I'm waiting I look for additional capital to keep rolling.
Re: When Crowdfunding Doesn't Work
Are you allowed to make an art of book? or a greg boone sketchbook... something where you might be able to showcase already created originals into print, and get that funded... drawing from the evol baby fanbase?
Re: When Crowdfunding Doesn't Work
Greg, congratulations on launching a campaign on GoFundMe! It doesn't matter what the results are. You won by doing it.
I think Evol Baby is a great property! It's time has come. The art is really good and the story and setup unique and one of a kind. Make it happen brother!
Use Indiegogo to get started. Flexible funding. That way you're guaranteed a good cut of everything that comes in no matter what. That will be phase 1. Then prepare for Kickstarter.
I'll gladly promote the project on AN and through our network and will contribute too.
Video is essential. Ya gotta produce a video about what you're doing. Take care of business and get it going. You'll be successful!

ReadyLIFT® 69-3446 4" SST Lift Kit with 1.0" Uniball Upper Control Arms for the NEW 2014-UP GM 1500 4WD & Z71 Trucks with Steel Front Upper Control Arm Suspension.
At ReadyLIFT® we take our product engineering very seriously. When General Motors first released the newly designed 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD & Z71 trucks we purchased one of the very first truck trucks off the line so that we could test fit and engineer the proper 4" SST Lift Kit. The 2014 4WD & Z71 suspension has many completely new design features. Some of these changes include evolution to an electric steering rack, completely different differential mounting system and an aluminum or steel control arm design and even a different spindle than its predecessor in some cases.
The new ReadyLIFT 69-3446 4" SST Lift Kit combines many of the great features of our time-tested and very popular 4" SST Lift Kit for the 2007-2013 trucks with new innovative features. Some of the new features implemented into this system include a completely different differential drop mounting system which now utilizes machined billet circular spacers which allows for just the right amount of differential drop without interfering with the new rear mounted electric steering rack. Additionally, a newly designed skid plate accompanies our differential drop system.
The highlight of this kit over the 69-3414 kit with tubular arms is this kit features our tough and rugged fabricated steel upper control arms with 1.0" PFT-lined uniball pivot bearings. These uniball pivots are the strongest pivot (joint) you will find on the market anywhere and include an exclusive custom machined aluminum seal cap to keep dirt and debris out. This is ideal for those in snow or sandy areas. But that's not all! This kit also includes newly designed UCA inner bushings and new washer backing spacer sleeves which greatly prolong the life of the bushings. If you plan to off road your truck or drive in aggressive road situations, this is the kit you want!
Our engineering testing has shown this new 69-3446 4" SST Lift Kit is extremely versatile and strong and like our previous SST Lift Kit, allows the customer to install up to a 33x11.50 tire (max) on 5.25" backspacing wheels.
The 69-3446 kit is for use on trucks with the factory steel upper and lower control arms. Not for use on trucks with aluminum upper control arms or Z-71 Off Road trucks. If your truck has aluminum upper and lower control arms, you will want the 69-3444 kit.

We are going to be building a nice utility trailer, and it will be built like a tank. For me with my inexperience the first trailer will be a long term project, but I have watched some excellent trailer being constructuce from raw material to rolling down the road and I know what it takes.
I gotta say though, however you classify yourself that trailer is EXCELLENT.
You may not make a living from welding, but I bet you could.

To Harco Sparky, Gary did a buitifull job on his trailer and am sure he made it how he feels he needs it,
I built one like it about 10 years ago for my Miller Big 40.
Whenever I build something like that I draw it to scale on paper so I can catch any mistakes including how much space between cables etc.
Gary has a hitch on the back of his trailer for what I will assume to be a vise mount.
I would encase the tanks and gages inside inside there own roll bar so that I could leave them on and in the event of a roll over the guages would not get ripped off the tanks.
I would also make a rack to hold a couple different size ladders and additional space on the rack to haul some longer pcs. of steel.
When making a spot for your vice remember that many time you may put some thing long in it to grind, it is often handy to have a rest to hold the other end of the pipe even to the bottom jaw of the vise.
I really like the way Gary hid his lock inside that pipe, I caution him to make sure he has extra keys for that lock because he will destroy his box trying to get the lock off if he loses his key.

Somehow I missed this one earlier????
I think the planning and engineering here were excellent, and the finish work is top-notch.
I see the hitch receiver on the back of the trailer, some think it's just for a vise, I also see a trailer wire plug back there, you set it up to haul another trailer behind it?
very impressive work Gary, extremely proffesional job.

The hitch on the back is for towing another trailer or mounting a vice. I put a connector back there for hooking up trailer lights just in case I take it on the road with another trailer hooked up. Most likely, this would be my trailer mounted Ingersol Rand air compressor for arcair applications.
I did a scaled CAD layout complete with dimensions before I started construction. I also did front-to-rear center of gravity calculations to insure the tongue weight would be balanced. If anyone wants copies, email me and I'll send them to you. The CAD will be in PDF format so you wont need special software to view them. The center of gravity calculations are in an Excel spreadsheet.

There are eight-ways-to-Sunday to lay out a welding trailer. This one doesnt have it all, but I like its simplicity. It rarely leaves the farm and will spend most of its working life welding fence bracing, corrals, etc.
BTW, Thanks for all the kind compliments.

One last thought. My wife and kids took one look at the paint job and instantly starting calling it the "smurf-mobile". I had this blue tint to my hair from the overspray when I came in from painting it and they started calling me "papa-smurf". When I go out to weld with it, they call me "welder-smurf". When one of my buddies calls to borrow it, they ask the "smurf-mobile". I thought the paint was a good choice, but man...

Great work! Looks as if you will be moving down in our neck of the woods.

TORONTO, ON—Seven non-profit social service agencies from across Canada were recognized as the best-run in the country and shared $60,000 in prize money at the Donner Canadian Foundation Awards for Excellence in the Delivery of Social Services Wednesday in Toronto.
Community and Primary Health Care – Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville of Brockville, Ontario won the $20,000 William H. Donner Award for Excellence in the Delivery of Social Services, the award for the highest-performing agency overall. Community and Primary Health Care – Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville also won the award in the Services for Seniors category, which came with a $5,000 prize.
The $5,000 Peter F. Drucker Award for Non-Profit Management went to Educational Program Innovations Charity Society of North Sydney, Nova Scotia.

"These expertly managed non-profits have improved the communities they operate in, helping countless families and individuals nationwide. We're pleased to recognize their outstanding work," said Jason Clemens, Fraser Institute executive vice-president.
The Donner Awards are Canada's largest recognition program for non-profit social service agencies, established in 1998 to recognize and encourage best practices in non-profit management and increase public confidence and support for Canada's non-profit sector. The awards are administered by the Fraser Institute on behalf of the Donner Canadian Foundation.
This year, 554 non-profit social service agencies from across Canada applied for the awards. Participating organizations were ranked on their performance in 10 key areas, including management and governance, the use of staff and volunteers, innovation, program costs, and outcome monitoring.
"The Donner Awards recognize non-profit organizations that excel in service delivery despite their limited budgets and resources. Canadians can be sure that organizations considered for a Donner Award are responsibly managed and are doing their utmost to help their communities," Clemens said.
The Donner Awards evaluation protocol was established with input from the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy (now Imagine Canada), the Canadian Cancer Society (B.C. & Yukon Division), the Trillium Foundation, and Family Services Canada.

you do realize that we are talking about welding on a pressure vessel with incredibly questionable welds shown so far! please procede with utmost caution as you are creating a bomb for the hobbyist.

I've built a few of these back in the 80's. They are a very useful tool, especially prepping material for welding.
I extended the arm of the bottom feed valve so that it can be nudged w/ a foot or is easier to adjust while wearing gloves.
I have built a few of these and never used a rubber gasket. It could be that your pipe fitting warped from welding.
One needs to take precautions when cutting or welding on a propane tank; not for the amateur. Freon tanks also work and are more portable.
When using these you need a supply of DRY air. Moisture will cause sand to clog.
Keep in mind that there are inherent dangers in welding and danger in sandblasting.
Sandblasting can cause silicosis, and many novice types will not use proper ventilation/respiration precautions.
By the way, you'd be surprised at the damage you can do to equipment from dust particles floating in the air or how far the sand can travel and still damage automotive glass. If it can damage automotive glass..... it may also pose a rick to your eyes as well. Use proper safety equipment. You wouldn't weld without a welding helmet; RIGHT.... ?

All of the import type models use an O-ring around the pipe filler neck for a seal. DRY air is more important for free following media.
Followed by a clear hood window and a great respirator.
As silicious effect on your lungs is cumulative, and it doesn't take much to cause you problems. And end up joining the oxy bottle brigade at Wally World.
And if you are using the deadman type import valves, HF is now selling the complete unit handle part for around $15.00 And if you are having a hard time finding the replacement rubber block with the alloy plate Tractor Supply sells them under their job smart brand.
Abrasive Blasting Deadman Valve with 4 Ceramic Nozzles HF Item # 92189
And one final thing, during the high humidity months, Don't fill the tank all the way up. And empty the media tank between uses if you won't be blasting weekly. As it will cake up at the outlet and in the fittings at the outlet/hose area.glen, If your not on the edge, your wasting space

I have a similar kind of rig and found that a tank pressure of 10-20 psi seems to feed a good quanity of sand. However it may be too much. What pressure setting are you using on the tank? Does the sand grit get into the feed valve you have on the tank outlet? I don't have a valve like that. Does it work well to control the amount of sand?Bill

Nice Bomb. With the quality of those welds, keep your children away from that unit. This is a PRESSURE VESSEL. Unless you've had training for welding on pressure vessels, I wouldn't dare weld on any pressure tank without training, especially a repurposed propane tank. At least get your bomb hydro tested, I doubt that those questionable welds will hold up and over time expect them to fail. It may work once, twice or even 10 times, but be prepared for that thing to blow up and when it does, the shrapnel flies, remember your dealing with COMPRESSED air If you don't care about yourself, that's ok, just don't subject your kids or friends to it. Do yourself a favour and go get a professionally made unit. The $100 that you're saving could cost you or your loved ones your an eye, an arm, leg or even your life. Don't mess with compressed air, even 10 psi can cause an incredible ammount of damage. And then come the lawsuits....Acklands (Miller) N-250-HF

In his first 100 days in office, President Obama has demonstrated a clear departure from his predecessor. From relaxing marijuana enforcement laws to releasing torture memos, the new administration has moved rapidly to revoke and alter policies that marked the legacy of the Bush team.
Obama "is pleased with his actions thus far, understanding that the American people are certainly not going to grade his administration or our efforts... just by the actions of the first 95 days," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said.
Even before he entered the White House, the 44th president advised his transition team to draft an executive order to close down the detainee center at Guantanamo Bay. The latest in the series of moves has been the release of the so-called "torture memos" detailing the authorization and legalization of harsh interrogation techniques by Bush-era officials. The Obama team has also taken a visibly different approach to energy and environmental policy.
The swift-moving president says he is trying to fulfill his campaign promises and supporters applaud his efforts. Critics say he could be putting too much on his already-full plate.
Here is a list of the Bush administration policies and laws that Obama has reversed so far:
From Drugs to Gay Rights to Health Policy
Shifting Away From Calif. Pot Busts
Signaling a drastic shift in the Bush administration's policies on drugs, Obama's appointed Attorney General, Eric Holder, said federal agents will relax their enforcement of marijuana laws and go after only those distributors who violate both state and federal law. California is one of 13 states that have either legalized or decriminalized the use of medical marijuana and permits its sale for medical purposes. However, it still violates federal law and under the previous administration, authorities targeted medical marijuana sellers under federal laws even if they complied with state laws.
As a presidential candidate, Obama vowed to bring change in policies related to medical marijuana use. Advocacy groups applauded the change but raised their concerns about more than two dozen California cases that are hanging in a limbo in federal court. The move comes at a time when the Obama administration is taking a tougher stance on the problem of drug and weapons trade along the U.S.-Mexico border. Other states that permit marijuana for medical purposes are Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
Endorsing Gay Rights
On March 18, the Obama administration formally endorsed a United Nations statement urging world leaders to decriminalize homosexuality, a declaration that less than three months ago Bush refused to sign.
"The United States supports the U.N. Statement on 'Human Rights, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity,' and is pleased to join the other 66 U.N. member states who have declared their support of this Statement that condemns human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity wherever they occur," the State Department said in a statement. "We join with the other supporters of this Statement and we will continue to remind countries of the importance of respecting the human rights of all people in all appropriate international fora."

Kosher Drink/Spirits
|Strawberry Ice Cream Soda
There are many versions of this recipe on the internet. This one uses heavy cream but we feel you can either leave it out or substitute light cream. Either way, this is a wonderful drink for summer - fresh, sweet strawberries, ice cream, and soda.
Strawberry jam
For each ice cream soda, put a heaping tablespoonful of strawberry jam and a heaping tablespoonful of crushed fresh strawberries in large (16 ounce size) glass. Add 2 tablespoons heavy cream and a big scoop of strawberry ice cream. Fill up to 2/3 full with soda water, then add another big scoop of strawberry ice cream. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a garnish of chopped berries, if desired. Serve with straws and a long iced teaspoon.

DTS - Texas A&M-Commerce Cooperative EdD Program
Below is a broad outline of Dallas Theological Seminary's collaborative agreement with Texas A&M Commerce. Individual details must be worked out with Texas A&M advisors Dr. Rusty Waller and Dr. Richard Lumadue
If you have any further questions, you may contact Dr. Michael Lawson or Dr. Jim Thames in the Dean's office.
Program Summary
Texas A&M Commerce (TAMU) offers the EdD (Doctorate in Education) degree in Curriculum, Supervision, & Instruction in a cooperative format with Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS).
The EdD degree requires 102 hours (39 hours of master's leveling work of any kind + 63 hours for the doctorate).
Normally a master's degree is required but in lieu of a master's degree, TAMU will evaluate for admission 36 hours of graduate work done at DTS. In addition, the student must take the GRE. In the past, a score of 800 or above has been looked on favorably. But there are at least 10 factors examined and evaluated for admission.
TAMU will accept 12 hours in transfer from DTS's MA/CE or ThM/CE if the student is accepted into the TAMU program before completing the master's degree at DTS (courses must be preapproved).
Courses commonly cross credited for the 12 hours:
- CE 102 History and Philosophy of Christian Education
- CE 103 Teaching Process CE – 104 Audio-visual Presentations
- CE 215 Teaching in Christian Higher Education
- CE 310 Administration in Christian Higher Ed.
- CE 315 Administrative Process
- CE 320 Christian School Administration
- CE 325 Legal and Financial Issues
Hours from "any accredited graduate program" (including DTS MACE)
|Breakdown of Hours
|Master's Leveling Hours
|Transfer in CE courses from DTS
|TAMU course work in Research Tools (4 courses in statistics)***
|TAMU doctoral course work
|Internship (flexibly determined with advisor; maybe independent study)
|Complete Dissertation**
This means that DTS MA/CE or ThM/CE students in the TAMU EdD program can count a total of 51 hours of their DTS work toward the 102-hour requirement beyond the bachelor's degree. (This is made up of 39 hours of DTS course work granted upon entry into the program PLUS 12 more hours of specific CE course work toward the EdD requirements.) That leaves 51 hours of course work for the TAMU EdD.
Important Notes
- * "Residency" at TAMU is NOT about being on the Commerce campus; "Residency" is established by taking two semesters back to back of 9 hours each. Any combination of Spring/Summer; Summer/Fall; Spring/Fall or Fall/Spring will qualify. This could be a combination of Internship + online + face to face in Commerce or Mesquite as long as the total adds up to 9 per semester and the semesters are back to back. A number of face to face courses are offered on week ends and during the evenings.
- ** TAMU enables students to become familiar with various processes by requiring students to attend other "Dissertation Proposal" interviews and "Dissertation Defense" interviews. The Graduate College sends a representative to evaluate the professors on their 'professional' conduct during these interviews.
- *** Advisors at TAMU recommend that these courses be taken first as they tend to be the most demanding.

Has exposure to home and garden chemicals caused an increase in childhood sicknesses?
It's impossible to say with certainty that our modern reliance on pesticides indoors and outside is directly causing more of our children to get sick more often, but a large amount of new research points in that direction. An October report by Pesticide Action Network North America titled "A Generation in Jeopardy" examines dozens of recent studies and concludes that the influx of pesticides in our society is taking a heavy toll on our kids' health and intelligence.

Step 1: Starting Off
You start off with a very lame pistol. You should start searching through all the windows, and shooting any zombies that come near. When you have enough points, go ahead and buy a M1 carbine. Finish up the rest of your pistol ammo, and start using the carbine. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER remove the sofa on the stairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER! If you do, it will be your end! Stay in that room until you run out of ammo or when the room is too crowded. When you run out of ammo, you need to open the door that says HELP. Open it and if you look on your left, you will find a chest, where you can get a random gun for 950 points. Don't get: M1 Garand, any snipers, or don't get the panzer(yet) . Get the flamethrower, ray guns, and machine guns, and pretty much everything else.
survived to round 73 solo. LOL!
1. line your cross hairs at the grenades on the wall.
2.sprint towards the grenades.
3. Whilst sprinting jump and hold down the crouch button until you have landed facing the wall in the prone position (LAYING DOWN).
4. turn around using the RIGHT!! analog stick only and once facing the door way press the crouch button once, to be in the crouch position then press it one more time and a message on your screen should appear saying can't stand here. this means that you should be in position. WHAT EVER YOU DO DONT TOUCH THE LEFT ANALOG STICK OR YOU RISK LOSING THE GLITCH.
5. Once this happens test the glitch by lettting a fwe zombies come up to you and if they stop walking and start swinging there arms without moving forward then your in business i.e. start killing without worrying about them killing you.
6. if you run out of ammo dont worry just look around using the right analog stick and purchase the grenades remember DO NOT TOUCH THE LEFT STICK
Now hope you guys and gals out there enjoy this and if you are wondering yes it works on both xbox and ps3 platforms now go have some serious fun
