MARQUETTE- Students at Marquette Alternative High School had a chance to ask state Rep. John Kivela, D-Marquette, the tough questions about current issues and the they didn't hold back.
Kivela addressed his job and what he does down in Lansing. He then spent the balance of the hour taking questions from students. The students asked questions ranging from gay marriage to the wolf hunt to the safety of the Eagle Mine.
"I've done a lot of these and the kids here came up with some really great questions about a lot of controversial issues, and I'm glad they are thinking about them," Kivela said. "They're tomorrow's leaders."

Students at the Marquette Alternative High School asked some tough questions during a visit by state Rep. John Kivela, D-Marquette, Thursday at Graveraet school in Marquette. (Journal photos by Adelle Whitefoot)
Kivela said he participates in these type of visits to schools because he thinks it's important to share about what's going on in Lansin, giving students an idea of what government is and how the student can affect it.
He also noted these type of events are fun for him.
"I like interacting with them. I really like kids and I always have," Kivela said. "Sometimes you leave some stuffy meetings or some technical, complicated issues and it's just fun to get in front of a group of kids who are interested and willing to listen."
The tough questions didn't come as a surprise, he said, because one of his staffers had told him to be prepared to answer anything, which he thought was great.
"Kids need to be thinking about these things because they aren't little kids anymore, these are young adults and I was glad I was able to talk about the meth epidemic," Kivela said. "They really need to understand the dangers of that. So I was glad it came up. But for me these type of questions are easy to answer because I just tell it like it is."
And Kivela wasn't lying when he said that he tells the truth because when a student asked him where he thought cursive writing was going while they were on the subject of the Michigan Merit requirements, Kivela's response was "it's going away."
Amanda Erspamer-Berry, social studies and special education teacher, was the one who asked Kivela to speak to the school. In September she brought State Sen. Tom Casperson, R-Escanaba, to speak to the students.
"I think Kivela's speech was great and he really connects with the student and gives his honest opinion, which I think is what (the students) appreciate the most," Erspamer-Berry said. "He does have a similar background to a lot of our students, but not all of them, so it's pretty awesome to see him connect to with all of the students. That can be difficult, I know."
Erspamer-Berry said she hopes the students come away inspired by hearing Kivela's story of starting as a mechanic to becoming a state representative.

BAY CITY -- Federal investigators have indicted a 52-year-old Bay City man on charges that he persuaded a minor boy to perform sexual acts so he could create pornographic images.
Steven G. Marsh was arraigned Wednesday in U.S. District Court on charges of manufacturing child pornography. Magistrate Judge Charles Binder denied bond.
Marsh coerced the boy Sept. 27 to engage in sexually explicit conduct so he could film or photograph it, FBI investigators and Bay City police said. He has two prior convictions of sexual assault and possession of child pornography, prosecutors said.

Accel's Book Club Selections
Oprah isn't the only one who gets into hot water now and then for her book club selections. Accel Partners, the venture capital firm, is getting a little static for its selection of Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed as its holiday gift to investors, CEOs, and influencers. This is Jared Diamond's book mapping out how environmental calamities brought the downfall of early societies including the Mayas, Greenlanders, and Easter Islanders.
Accel has sent out books every year for the past 15 years or so. They're typically serious and thoughtful. "It's part of our philosophy about the prepared mind--being thoughtful when we make our investments. We like to be current about what's being written," says Carl Everett, an Accel partner in Texas who was formerly a Dell executive. Well, this time, for some who received Collapse, the selection was a downright downer. "It's a very dark book," admits Everett. "People asked us, 'Is there something we don't know?'"
It's nobody's--err, everybody's--fault. All of the partners from the US, Europe, and Asia picked Collapse by consensus. Past books haven't had quite the same edge on them. More typical were Titan, about Rockefeller, and The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently.
One wonders: Did the Europeans have undue influence on the selection this year?

Skip to comments.Verdict that Demands Evidence: Darwinists, not Christians, are stonewalling the facts
Posted on 03/28/2005 1:29:18 PM PST by Zender500
It was one of the firstand angriestpost-election hissy fits: In The New York Times, Garry Wills credited White House political adviser Karl Rove for getting millions of religious conservatives (whom he compared to Muslim jihadists) to the polls and sneered, "Can a nation which believes more fervently in the Virgin Birth than in evolution still be called an enlightened nation?"
< snip >
Committed Darwinists continue this strategy today. For example, nine years ago biochemist Michael Behe published Darwin's Black Box (Free Press, 1996). Behe argued that complex structures like proteins cannot be assembled piecemeal, with gradual improvement of function. Instead, like a mousetrap, all the partscatch, spring, hammer, and so forthmust be assembled simultaneously, or the protein doesn't work.
Behe's thesis faced a challenge from the nation's leading expert on cell structure, Dr. Russell Doolittle at the University of California-San Diego. Doolittle cited a study on bloodletting in the journal Cell that supposedly disproved Behe's argument. Behe immediately read the articleand found that the study proved just the opposite: It supported his theory. Behe confronted Doolittle, who privately acknowledged that he was wrongbut declined to make a public retraction.
So who's really rolling back the Enlightenment? Those who invite us to follow the evidence wherever it leadsor those demanding that we ignore it? The folks who want both evolution and Intelligent Design taught in school, with all their strengths and weaknessesor those who attempt to silence any opposition?
The evidence for Intelligent Design has become so persuasive that the 81-year old British philosopher Anthony Flew, a lifelong atheist who once debated C. S. Lewis over the existence of God, recently admitted that a creator-God must exist.
In the final analysis, any objective observer must conclude that belief in either the biblical or the naturalistic worldview demands faith.
(Excerpt) Read more at christianitytoday.com ...
How does Intelligent Design explain male nipples?
Check out the latest Weekly Standard for a well written piece on this issue. Quite interesting.
vestigal organs from when we were asexual primordial slime or something.....
"I've got nipples, Fokker, can you milk me?"
How does evolution explain male nipples?
I did. Thanks for the tip on Teaching Darwin
I thank my Designer for my nipples, every time my wife kisses them.
I asked first.
Lol, too good!
Lol, too good!
Ping but the debate just about over except for the screaming
and I asked second.
The more they find out about the universe the faster they flock to Intelligent Design...scientists with humility that is.
The others will never allow themselves to work within the Lord's framework.
"Check out the latest Weekly Standard for a well written piece on this issue. Quite interesting."
Agreed. What was especially interesting was that the author's critique of evolution seemed to begin and end with Darwin himself, and didn't bother to address the 149 years of advances in evolutionary biology that have occurred since then.
-"Can a nation which believes more fervently in the Virgin Birth than in evolution still be called an enlightened nation?"-
It was good enough for our founding fathers, wasn't it?
Or cockroaches?
Au contraire, mon frere... that is exactly what is driving famous and not so famous evolution supporters into the other camp. At least the honest ones, who can allow that both extremes require a measure of faith.
It's really astonishing that after sending men to the moon and back, sending robots to Mars, curing Polio, and creating the internet a large segment of our country still clings to primitive Bronze Age superstitions regarding our origins.
It is utterly pathetic, and I can assure you that unless things change our country is going to sink into a new Dark Age of sorts as the Chinese, Indians etc. pass us in the race to the stars.
My understanding is, in the same way evolution does: a rudimentary organ useful at one point along the evolutionary path, then disused.
Intelligent design's claim is not that nothing occurs through evolution, but rather that at pivotal points in the evolitionary process things happen by design and not randomly. For example, differentiation of sexes and development of diverse sexual organs might involve steps by design, as well as random evolutionary steps.
The designer left the male nipples in place for the same reason a gardener might leave a tree stub in place: it does not hinder the new landscape, and may have some positive use (male nipples are erogenous), future will tell if the marginal value of the rudimentary organ is sufficient to prevent its atrophy and disappearance.
Sure, there's evidence that evolution takes place within a species but the fossil record has not yielded evidence of one species becoming another, as Darwin confidently predicted. This lack of evidence has not gone unnoticed by sociologist Rodney Stark. Stark calls himself neither an evolutionist nor an advocate of Intelligent Design; instead, he says, he is merely a scholar pursuing the evidence where it leads. In For the Glory of God (Princeton University Press, 2003), Stark offers startling evidence that Darwinists have covered up mounting flaws in their theory. He concludes that the battle over evolution is hardly a case of "heroic" scientists fighting off the persecution of religious fanatics. Instead, from the start, evolution "has primarily been an attack on religion by militant atheists who wrap themselves in the mantle of science in an effort to refute all religious claims concerning a creator an effort that has also often attempted to suppress all scientific criticisms of Darwin's work."
Only the "guilty" have reason to scream, Tribune!!! Thanks for the ping!
p.s.: Nobody likes it when "their [pet] ox is gored...." :^)
If you've ever had a large dog, you begin to appreciate the role of cockroaches, everytime you walk in your back yard and there's no more than a week's worth of poop back there.
1) Mosquitos are here to select for sickle cell anemia, so evolutionists can point to the blood defect and say, "see a positive mutation".
2) I don't know if ID has an answer for mosquitos, but creationists can tell you that Mosquitos might be part of the curse on the earth after Adam and Eve sinned.
ID - Design failure.
Creationist - SIN! Rebellion!
Now how does evolution explain Liberals?
I think the ox of evolution is dead :-)
"Au contraire, mon frere... that is exactly what is driving famous and not so famous evolution supporters into the other camp. At least the honest ones, who can allow that both extremes require a measure of faith."
That would be "ma soeur," and please note that I was specifically referencing the Weekly Standard article cited by Lawnguy.
The same way it explains the Department of Education.
Your post is unclear. Since many of the major players in all those scientific advances leaned toward intelligent design, it is hard to decide which rigid dogmatism you are referring to as causing a new Dark Age...
With all due respect, I fail to see what scientific/technological advances have to do with one's belief and faith in a Creator.
"intelligent design", Mr.Colson,can be disproved by a one-word argument:
But even they can't settle on one answer, LOL!
To play devil's advocate, proteins are not complex but rather simple structures composed of hydrocarbons, subject to the laws of natural permutation. Like a tumbler in a lock, life could have begun when the right combination of proteins occured. Although interesting, I don't believe Behe's thesis either proves or disproves Darwin, Creationism, or Intelligent Design.
That is precisely why belief in a higher power is called "faith", sometimes in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Oh, in the title: "Verdict that Demands Evidence," I suggest that a verdict should be based on the evidence, not be running around demanding evidence.
>>It's really astonishing...<<
The more narrow ones mind, the greater the "astonishment" at such things.
Your statement is pure hogwash, if by "primitive Bronze Age superstitions" you mean Jewish or Christian religious beliefs. There is nothing about any of the accomplishments you list that requires or even invites an abandonment of religious belief.
I see no conflict between evolution (or any scientific theory) and the gospel of Jesus Christ. None whatsoever. Those who insist that evolution somehow "disproves" religion are guilty of scientific malpractice.
Or the fact that humans have toes?
ping for input.
The fact that both genders have nipples has nothing to do with speciation. A better question would be how does intelligent design explain molars and appendixes, though they are probably explainable in terms of natural selection: if a trait ceases to be a factor in the survival of the species, it will probably be retained as a vestigial trait.
Hey, even if we just tread water, while the Indians and Chinese zoom ahead--I don't think that is what is happening, but I will grant you it for the sake of argument--how does that have us entering a dark age? Seems like some scaremongering on the part of the pro-evolution folk.
Thanks for the ping!
Sorry I asked the same question before reading down the posts.
"I Am" gave them to us.
Could be, Trib. It all seems to hang on the problem of whether people are willing to concede that evolution seems to be something that happens within species; and that grander claims -- to the effect that macroevolution actually occurs -- may not be as well founded as the general public imagines today.
That is, the doctrine that holds the production of a novel species from an already existent other in response to changing physical environmental conditions/constraints, while generally held to be true "among us advanced, enlightened moderns" -- seems to have been found somewhat lacking in explanatory power in more recent times.
I don't think the ox of evolution is dead; he just needs to be placed into the proper overall perspective, which at the end of the day may be the one that abandons the idea of macroevolution altogether.
For certainly we must say that macroevolution depends for its truth on a congeries of developments that have never been directly observed acting together by a single human being, dead or alive.
And so the entire theory of macroevolution seems to rest on observations which are -- rather paradoxically -- "unobservable" in principle.
But I guess we'll have to wait on further research in order to further qualify these issues....
Stay tuned! Thank you so very much for writing!
Do you believe that "species" is a property of an individual?
Why do you continue to impugn the motives of those actually doing science?
Maybe you'd be better off without testicals, but I think they are brilliant.

KALAMAZOO, MI — The critically acclaimed Indian percussionist and entrepreneur, Rohan Krishnamurthy, will perform in the Rohan Krishnamurthy Percussion Trio in the Dalton Recital Hall of Kalamazoo College, Wednesday, May 21 at 7:30 p.m.
Rohan is an alumnus of Kalamazoo College, where he graduated magna cum laude in music and chemistry as a Heyl Foundation Scholar. He recently completed his doctorate in musicology at the prestigious Eastman School of Music in New York.
Described as a "musical ambassador" and "pride of India" by The Times of India, he is now one of the most prominent musicians in the Indian music scene. His cross-genre performances draw from India's sacred Carnatic music, expanding the tradition in new artistic directions.
In this rare performance at K-College, Rohan will be joined by two of the finest Indian percussionists for an unforgettable percussion trio: Rohan's esteemed guru, Guruvayur Dorai, and one of his lifelong peers, Uzhavur Babu. This will be their first collaborative performance in the United States.

Grosse Pointe Woods Director of Public Safety Andrew Pazuchowski sent out a message reassuring his community that emergency response officials are prepared should a similar threat strike his city.
The message, sent through Nixle, an emergency messaging system, said:
Advisory: Tragic School Shooting in Conneticut
As horribly tragic as the school shooting is that occurred today in Connecticut, I wanted to assure you of our policy regarding a report of any similar situation in Grosse Pointe Woods. As you know we have a Special Response Team composed of officers from the Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods. Annually, each department participates in school lockdown procedure training and training for what is termed as an "active shooter" situation.
In the event a report of a shooting in a school was reported, responding officers would enter as a team and search for and engage the suspect. We would not wait for the Special Response Team to be called and respond. All of our schools have security procedures in place.
Today, I have advised our School Liaison Officer to contact both public and private schools to ensure compliance with lockdown procedures and building security measures. In addition, due to the recent tragedies involving active shooters across the Country, we are expediting our annual training for our officers in the active shooter program.
Andrew Pazuchowski

How much wind to get planning?
Hi Roger,
I have a 2006 Carve 144 and I am considering buying a V8 9.0. I was wondering how much wind I would need to get planning with the Carve (with the factory fin) and the V8. I weight 90 kg and I am windsurfing only on lakes, I am comfortable in the straps and in harness and I can waterstart so I am somewhere between beginner and intermediate. Is the fin that comes with the board big enough for the 9.0?
Thank you,

Leyland said he was weighing whether to catch Alex Avila or use him at DH. He opted for the DH spot. Combine that with another Leyland point, that he's weighing whether to start Avila at third base on Friday, and it's possible he'll get back-to-back games at a position other than catcher.

Our pure RHB really have to contribute today. Peralta has floundered a bit lately, Cab is not pounding the ball, Ordonez is finding his way again, Raburn, well we know what he is and is not doing and AJ has to get on base.
If we can get even a couple of these guys going then maybe we can take this series.
Who is pitching for Cleveland? How many runs have we scored in the last 4 games? Max, I looked af the film or tapes, I saw what I needed to see, so saw their bats off and strike em out. I predict 2 runs for the Indians. 7 for the Tigers. Raburn will not strike out today.
Mitch Talbot is throwing for the Tribe.
I like your prediction and hope your are spot on about Max.
He's a bit of an enigma. Good stuff, intelligent, competitor. Gets into a funk with some mechanical issue and fixes it himself.
I think the thing to be concerned about Max is his delivery. A bit like Zumaya in that respect. Violent, complicated delivery. I guess it is easy (and misplaced) to compare him to JV who is so rhythmic and smooth. Max is perhaps more prone to hurting himself.
I really like him though and we were quite fortunate to get him.
I like Max too, I think he'll work through his issues soon.
Maggs had some good solid hits yesterday, I hope it is the tip of the iceberg for him.
after I post I see they are already ahead after a triple based on an error by Raburn. Did not see it, just on gameday. Not the way to start a game. Oh, and then another triple – ok, I may have really spoke to soon . Come on Max, settle down and get the first inning out of the way, you should be able to count on our offense for a few runs to cover a few bad pitches, right?
Rod Allen was right on about pitching to Choo. Did not seem like the prudent thing to do. They teed off on Max.
He had better cut down on the fly ball ratio or these Indians will be leaving the yard today.
From what I've observed so far, Magglio is swinging the bat pretty good. Not much puck luck yet.
Raburn has received many more chances to succeed this year than the average player and continues to fall flat. DD & JL need to make a decision on him, and soon. He's not helping the club at all (except for a HR for every 20 K's or so). Can't field, can't hit. Either send him to AAA (where a real hitting coach might actually be able to help him) or release him.
You are kidding Maggs has hit everything pretty hard, he isn't finding a single hole. But I like what I have seen.
I'm happy he's making contact and not popping up like he did before going on the DL. As long as he keeps making solid contact, good things will happen.
Memo to Rod Allen:
Adrian Gonzalez has 60 (Count 'em) RBIs
Ya know I miss typed there about Magglio. I have liked what I have seen so far. He he squared everything up and can't. Find a single hole. But I am encouraged for sure.
I hope Magglio can start finding the gap. If he does then I suspect they will need to do something with Dirks or Wells.
Memo to Rod Allen:
Avila is NOT catching today.
Memo to Rod Allen:
This is June….not May!
I am pretty confident in this statement. If we are going to win this game we have to do so against the starter. There pen is great and ours stinks most of the time. It looks as though bothpitchers are settling in. Just as I type this Peralta homers
Nice job Ryan, guess your ears have been burning with all the talk about you. Had to make up for the error and you did.
We have had the starter on the rocks many times this year but often fail to stomp down on them, thus giving them time to settle in.
Scherzer is throwing too many connsecutive fastballs.
Threw 7 4 seam fastballs to brantley. Got away with murder.
I hope they are taking note n the dugout.
Actually Maggs' last 2 ABs were not so good.
I hope Max can squeeze out 2 more innings.
That's better Max—mix 'em up. When you can get strikes with them —use them.
That dude should be out for not evev attempting. To get out of the way. Max is loosing it
Throw it at his chin. Seems like we can not hit a fly ball with a man on 3rd, then my score of 7-2 would be good and pull Raburn as he has not stuck out.
Then suddenly, loses it!
Again, I agree with Leyland here taking out Max. Q is due for a bad outing. He does worry me in that he can have trouble with the strike zone, however, I'm confident he won't give up a bunch of runs.
The real test will be next inning. Top of the lineup coming up and 3 LHB and 2 switchers. I suspect we will see Daniel Schlereth.
I think the bullpen has been very good lately. Benoit went quite a few games with out giveing up a run and Papa Grande…….Lookin good!
Live in royal oak, rain coming down crazy hard at my house. Doesn't look like it is raining that hard at the park? And really windy
We win 6-2. First place! SOC for President🙂 Raburn is his running mate as he did not stike out and hit a big fly.
I know I am probably crying sour grapes, but you got to give Maggs all the ab's he can get. Can you imagine the pressure on him? Put him out for five games in a row, and if he can't contribute, make him an honorary Tiger for life, and go with Wells and Derks.
For sure. Maggs has to be given enough time to provide a substantial indication of what his contributions are going to be.
I don't like Maggs in RF but wise use of pinch runner/defensive replacements will somewhat mitigate that concern if he hits.

A recent article in the Patriot News regarding management of the Pennsylvania Lottery included several misleading and inflammatory statements offered by one of my colleagues, Senator Rob Teplitz ("Teplitz slams abandoned Corbett lottery privatization for wasting millions"). In light of the Administration's failure to reach an agreement to privatize management of the Pennsylvania Lottery, I strongly believe our focus should turn toward exploring new ways to provide for senior citizens, not rushing to score empty political points.
The original privatization agreement with Camelot would have provided at least $3 billion in additional revenue for programs that face serious financial pressures, including PACE and PACENET, Property Tax/Rent Rebates and Area Agencies on Aging. As the number of senior citizens in Pennsylvania continues to rise, the demand for services will continue to grow.
The goal of privatization was never to hand the Lottery over to foreign interests; the idea was to improve management of the system and maximize the amount of money for programs that seniors depend on every day. While Governor Corbett's privatization plan was not perfect, he should be applauded for working to address the future needs of these programs.
Since I was first elected to office five years ago, I have worked as hard as any member of the General Assembly to reduce government costs and save taxpayer dollars. Even as a fiscal conservative, I find it hard to find fault with the allocation of approximately $4 million in state tax dollars to develop an agreement that sought to add more than $3 billion to programs for seniors over the next 20 years.
I can respect and appreciate those who offered legitimate concerns with the governor's approach, but playing "Monday morning quarterback" does nothing to get us closer to ensuring stable, predictable funding for programs and services for seniors.
As we continue to explore solutions to meet the rising costs of senior services, I am hopeful that we can move forward toward bipartisan solutions while avoiding politically motivated attacks that serve no real purpose in the public discourse.

I recently read Inbound Marketing: Get Found Using Google, Social Media, and Blogs by Brian Hallgan and Dharmesh Shah. It's a great book about how to get customers to come to you, rather than shoving a marketing message down their throats.
The book gives great real-world examples of how marketing campaigns have successfully helped brands, including Barack Obama's social media and online marketing campaign. Anyone wanting to understand how to measure online marketing will find statistics on different campaigns in this book.
Shah and Halligan stress the importance of not simply "being there" on blogs and social media, but rather being found on multiple sources. They encourage you to give in order to get when it comes to creating what they call "remarkable content." The more good content you produce, the more links you'll have to your site, which will help your SEO and help people find your site.
The authors suggest using a variety of tools to maximize the content you produce for people to share:
- Blog articles
- White papers
- Videos
- Webinars
- Podcasts
- Webcasts
The book tells you specifically what to do on social networking sites, blogs, social bookmarking sites and videos in order to get best results. What I like is that they also tell you what not to do! If you're frustrated because you're not seeing the results you want online, pick up a copy of this book and learn what to do right.

BRIDGETON — Cumberland County Engineer Bill Rafferty announced his retirement at the Cumberland County Board of Chosen Freeholders meeting Tuesday night.
At the Cumberland County Courthouse, Freeholder Tony Surace presented Rafferty with a certificate of commendation in front of the room. The board thanked Rafferty for his service.
Rafferty, of Vineland, served as county engineer for two years, but felt it was time to enjoy some retirement.
"I'm 71 years old," Rafferty said. "And I wanted to slow things down a bit in my life. There's a little sadness. I like fixing things that aren't working right and I like working with people."
However, Rafferty said, "But I also know it's time to go."
Rafferty also served as Cumberland County engineer from 1976 to 1980. He started his career at the New Jersey Highway Department — now called the state Department of Transportation — in June 1964.
Rafferty's wife Diane was by his side Tuesday night.
Several county officials shook Rafferty's hand as he left the room to go home after the meeting. He smiled thanked everyone and was out the door.
When the freeholder board returned from executive session, it unanimously named John Knoop, of Lawrence Township, as Rafferty's successor.
Knoop will serve a five-year term, which will commence on Aug. 4 and expire on July 31, 2019.

The humble naked mole rat doesn't get cancer. And a research team from the University of Rochester says it has figured out why -- and hopes the findings eventually will help humans.
In a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature, the team said the critters produce a unique compound that apparently prevents them from developing tumors, The New York Times reported.
The team, headed by biologists Vera Gorbunova and Andrei Seluanov, now are conducting experiments to see if the compound can keep mice from getting cancer.
Said Gorbunova to the Times:
"We think this mechanism could be moved into humans."
Buck-toothed, bald and wrinkly, naked mole rats are known to live to an average age of 30 years, far longer than other rodents, CBS reports. They exhibit a resistance to pain and cancer and can survive underground with little oxygen.
When the scientists took cellular samples from the animals, a gooey substance clogged their equipment -- something that doesn't happen with cell cultures from other rodents or from humans.
The source of the goo was a substance called high molecular weight hyaluronan, HMW-HA for short, Gorbunova and Seluanov discovered.
Probing it further, the biologists found that when HMW-HA was removed, the cells became susceptible to tumors, ScienceDaily.com reported. The team further found the gene, HAS2, that makes HMW-HA in the animal, and discovered that the naked mole rat's HAS2 was different than all other animais' HAS2.
Beside that, the researchers found that naked mole rats recycle HMW-HA very slowly, helping it to accumulate in their tissues.
Why did the naked mole rat evolve this way? Seluanov noted that the large sugars that comprise its HMW-HA help make the animal's skin loose and elastic, helping it to crawl in tight underground tunnels without damaging its sides, National Geographic reported.
There is indirect evidence that HMW-HA could work in humans, Seluanov.told ScienceDaily.com:
"It's used in anti-wrinkle injections and to relieve pain from arthritis in knee joints, without any adverse effects. Our hope is that it can also induce an anti-cancer response."
Rochelle Buffenstein of the University of Texas Health Science Center threw up a cautionary flag.
Buffenstein, the discoverer of the naked mole rats' cancer resistance, told National Geographic that the Rochester study was the third to provide a potential explanation, joining the suicide of overgrowing cells and a tolerance for oxygen molecules that damage DNA.
What do you think of this discovery by the University of Rochester team? Please leave a comment below.

Stranding dudes like Cast Away, the Harrisburg Senators wasted a pair of three-run leads and fell to the host Altoona Curve Sunday night, losing 6-5 at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
That allows the Curve (34-54), who swept this three-game series, to slide past the Senators (33-54) into fifth place at the bottom of the Eastern League Western Division standings.
Harrisburg did itself no favors by stranding 12 runners on base and finishing just 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position. The Senators hit into four double plays.
Yet they led all the way into the eighth inning, when an error opened the door to a pair of runs for Altoona. Alen Hanson, a top Pirates prospect, delivered the go-ahead RBI single with two outs.
It was Robert Benincasa's own throwing error that created room for the two-run surge in the eighth. Benincasa (0-2) was not charged with an earned run but did register a blown save and the loss.
Ryan Beckman (2-4) struck out four in two scoreless innings of relief to pocket the win for Altoona. Kenn Kasparek tossed a scoreless ninth for his fourth save.
Every Senators starter, including pitcher Brian Dupra, had at least one hit. For Dupra, who allowed four runs (three earned) in 5.2 innings, his RBI single was his first career hit.
But the struggles with runners on base killed them, as they could barely take advantage of 12 hits and seven walks.
Michael Taylor (2-for-4) and Cole Leonida (3-for-4) had multiple-hit efforts in the loss.
Hanson (2-for-5) and Justin Howard (2-for-3) did likewise for Altoona.
Second baseman Cutter Dykstra, injured in a collision at second base in Friday's series opener, missed his second straight game for the Senators.
Harrisburg returns home Monday night to start a nine-game, eight-day home stand. The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders will be in house for Monday's 7 p.m. contest against Bowie.
Keon Broxton's one-out walk ignited the rally against Benincasa in the eighth.
Gift Ngoepe followed with a sacrifice bunt toward the mound, but Benincasa's throw to first sailed into right field, allowing Broxton to score the tying run and Ngoepe to reach third.
With two outs, Hanson delivered the RBI single to plate the winning run.
1. C Cole Leonida (2 points) -- 3-for-4, two runs, double, walk

There's a campaign under way in the U.S. to "restore the First Amendment to its original purpose: to protect people, not corporations." They need to hurry. The U.S. has long taken the road to corporatocracy. The longer this goes on the less likely they'll ever be able to turn back.

Judges balk at more Dearborn money
"The county's top judges told commissioners Wednesday that they will not approve another contract with outside legal counsel Keith Dearborn or his firm. Superior Court Judges Vickie Churchill and Alan Hancock said the nearly three-quarters of a million dollars already spent to have Dearborn oversee the county's growth planning process was astonishing and was far in excess of what they had originally been asked to approve.The judges' announcement underscores the high price the county is paying for growth planning, but the commissioners say Dearborn has earned his paycheck and insist they will try to find another way to keep him involved.Dearborn, a Seattle-based land-use attorney, was retained by the county late in 1998 at a cost of $60,000 to help coach the Planning Commission, Planning Department and Board of Commissioners through the completion of the county's Comprehensive Plan for growth. But several supplemental contracts and amendments later the fees for Dearborn and his law partner and wife Alison Moss have topped $722,000 with no definite end in sight. Churchill and Hancock said that based on the total amount spread over two years, Dearborn and Moss have been draining an average of more than $30,000 per month from county coffers.That is, in our judgement ... a stunning amount of money, Churchill said to commissioners during a staff meeting Wednesday. It is grossly excessive.By law, the presiding judge in the county must approve all county contracts with attorneys other than the government's own prosecuting attorney. Up until now the judges have approved contracts totaling only $235,000 for Dearborn and the Dearborn and Moss firm. The rest of the $722,000-plus has been approved directly by the commissioners, who are allowed to amend the contracts by majority vote as needed. The current contract with Dearborn and Moss expired on Friday. The commissioners had asked Churchill and Hancock to approve a new contract through the end of the year with costs not to exceed $200,000.We can't in good conscience allow this to continue, said Churchill. I'm not going to continue to put my name on this. It's a blank check.Hancock said he and Churchill assess outside attorney fees on a regular basis. He said that the most the two have ever authorized prior to Dearborn was $75,000 for a murder case.The commissioners admitted the costs of planning are high but said the judges' decision was short-sighted and poorly timed. Dearborn's firm is currently defending the legality of parts of the county's Comprehensive Plan. In fact, at the same time the judges were meeting with the commissioners Wednesday, Dearborn and Moss were across the street arguing the county's position before the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board.I acknowledge that you have the right to do what you're doing, Commissioner Bill Thorn said to Churchill and Hancock. But I don't think you understand the problem and I don't think you understand the complexity. We're not looking at routine attorney work.Thorn and Ccommissioner Mac McDowell told the judges that Dearborn literally rescued the county's floundering planning process and brought it nearly to completion - something no other county in the state has been able to do.The thing was in shambles, McDowell said of the county's pre-Dearborn planning. He made sense out of our process.McDowell said other counties have spent millions of dollars on their plans and are nowhere close to finished.We hired him at the end of '98 and here we are at the beginning of 2000 and we are the first county to have a completed plan and regulations, he said. In that respect, Keith has earned more than his keep.But Churchill and Hancock pointed to expenses they considered out-of-line, excessive or the result of poor oversight.In March, one response brief cost the county $30,000 to $46,000. It must have been one heck of a brief, Churchill said. She said invoices showed Dearborn and Moss had spent 20 days working on the brief.Churchill also singled out a cost of $2,450 for copies billed by Dearborn.You can buy a copy machine for this amount of money, she said.Hancock questioned why the county was paying Dearborn and Moss at attorney rates of $180 per hour when much of their work was actually planning consultation. He and Churchill said planning consultants normally charge about a third as much. They also expressed concern with the county's apparent lack of control over Dearborn's hours, pointing out instances where Dearborn billed for more than 20 hours of work in a single day.McDowell said he wasn't surprised by bills for long days. He said he was often able to reach Dearborn at his office late at night working on the county's plan.Under the proposed new contract, Dearborn and Moss had offered to lower their hourly rate from $180 to $100 per hour for some work. This was in response to the judges' request for some sort of cost containment.Commissioner Mike Shelton said that pulling Dearborn and Moss out of the process now could jeopardize the completion of the plan and call into question the value of the more than $700,000 already spent.McDowell questioned the judges' opinion that the Island County Prosecutor's Office could realistically do what Dearborn is doing - providing legal counsel, land-use planning guidance, overseeing negotiations with groups appealing the Comprehensive Plan and attending numerous meetings and hearings.Prosecuting Attorney Greg Banks said that his office could step in and serve as legal counsel for the county but he did not commit to the other aspects of Dearborn's job.On the other hand, Banks said he basically agreed with Churchill and Hancock's decision.$700,000 funds my whole office for a year, he said. It doesn't seem like you're getting the value for your money.McDowell said the commissioners still have the authority to rehire Dearborn as a planning consultant rather than an attorney thus avoiding the judges' approval process."

Provolone PiccanteProvolone is an all-purpose cheese used for cooking, dessert purposes and even grating. It is traditional, creamery, stretched, curd cheese. This cheese appears in various shapes. The thin, hard rind is golden-yellow and shiny, sometimes waxed. Provolne cheese can be of various types. Dolce (mild Provolne) is aged for two to three months, and is supple and smooth and generally used as a table cheese. We prefer, and have sent you provolone aged for six months to two years; you'll find it darker with small holes and a spicier overall flavor. Read More

LeydenLeyden cheese has the additional ingredient of creamy buttermilk and is a deliciously firm, subtly spicy tasting dairy treat, unique in its flavor because of the cumin and caraway seeds used to season it. As Leyden cheese ages, the cumin seeds draw out whey from the curds, so it has a drier, firmer texture than Edam. The cumin provides an aromatic flavor that contrasts well with the creamy, nutty character of the cheese. Its spicy tang makes it a delicious snack, especially when served with a dark bread and beer. In Holland it is known as Cumin cheese, but due to it's popularity around the city of Leiden it is exported as Leyden. Read More

HaloumiHalloumi is a cheese indigenous to Cyprus. It is traditionally made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk. The cheese is white, with a distinctive layered texture, similar to mozzarella, and has a salty flavour. It is stored in its natural juices with salt-water. Fresh sliced halloumi is used in cooking, as it can be fried until brown without melting due to its higher-than-normal melting point, making it a good cheese for frying or grilling, as an ingredient in salads, or fried and served with vegetables.

BOSTON – Again, the Boston Celtics lost a close one. Again, head coach Brad Stevens might not have a good night's sleep.
The Celtics scored enough to keep the Chicago Bulls from achieving any sense of comfort. But after Jeff Green knotted the score with 2:13 left, D.J. Augustin responded with a contested three from the left wing to start a 7-0 Chicago run.
Jared Sullinger hit two 3-pointers in the final minute, but the Celtics never had a chance to tie or take the lead again. They fell at the TD Garden, 107-102, to reach the 50-loss mark for the season.
That's one more defeat than Brad Stevens had during six seasons at Butler.
When the game turned: With three minutes left, Sullinger caught Augustin from behind and pinned his layup off the glass, giving the world an ever-rare Sullinger chase-down block. It provided the Celtics with a transition opportunity, which they used well -- Jeff Green (16 points) drilled a three, bringing Boston within two points. The bucket represented Green's first since a 10-point first-quarter, but it would not be his last. He hit a three on the next possession to tie things at 96-all.
Unfortunately, Augustin (33 points) was in the midst of his best scoring output ever. He hit a three from the left wing and Chicago led the rest of the way.
Notable talking points:
- Uneven first half: A tight first half featured 10 lead changes, 11 ties, a bundle of Joakim Noah passing brilliance, multiple high-flying Brandon Bass dunks, and the Celtics offense performing well against one of the NBA's best defenses. Jerryd Bayless might have been still hot from the other night against Toronto, Jeff Green had some moments (including two 3-pointers) and the starters carried an overachieving offense (obviously that was going to happen after Brad Stevens admitting he spends a lot of time pondering lineup changes). Plus, Rajon Rondo threw one inbounds pass off Noah's back, seemingly just because he could (all GIFs courtesy of Red's Army blogger Jay Ouellette):
Bass finished his team's last possession of the second quarter with a rip-through drive and jam, bringing the Celtics within 51-50. The nice offense felt entirely unsustainable (especially against the Bulls), but the defense had room for improvement. So what did I guess might happen after halftime? Actually, I had no guess. I just knew Noah (13 points, eight rebounds, 13 assists) would make some more plays that reminded me of lounging on the beach with a cold beer in my hand, the sun beating down on my body, and a Pat Conroy book being read to me by a beautiful woman.
Note: I've never done that. Ever. And doubt I ever will. But it'd be nice. So was this:
- Offense not the issue: Waiting for the Celtics offense to crumble felt like sitting on the edge of the lake at 8 p.m., trying to catch a summer sunset. At some point, the sun would disappear and the water would be enveloped by darkness. Just wait, I promised myself. It would happen. (Note: My apologies for the two odd metaphors. I'm truly sorry.)
The Bulls own one of the NBA's most potent defenses, maybe the very best. So the early Celtics attack, more powerful than expected, felt like it only had a few moments to live.
Yet when a Rondo (17 points, 11 assists) three with 5:53 left in the third quarter gave Boston a 65-62 advantage, I started thinking maybe the sun would forget to fall. And when Sullinger cleaned up a bad Jerryd Bayless miss on the final possession of the third quarter to bring the Celtics within 78-77, I convinced myself the sun would shine all the way through morning. Boston might lose, but the defeat would be on the defense. The Celtics executed, hit shots, crashed the glass, scored 102 points against Chicago's stout defense.
Alas, the execution fell apart late (Kelly Olynyk made two critical turnovers) and the Celtics couldn't get enough stops. Friggin' Augustin continued his resurgent campaign with 15 points in the fourth.
Additional notes: I <3 Noah's game ... Celtics players (with warmup t-shirts) and coaches (with patches on their jackets) honored the Boston Fire Department, which recently lost two firefighters who were killed while trying to put out a blaze. ... Rondo has struggled mightily with his finishing, but hit several scoop shots, including one particularly nice semi-hook early in the fourth that lightly kissed the glass before falling through. He did have six turnovers, which wasn't good. ... With 3:26 left in the first quarter, Kris Humphries (14 points, eight rebounds) stole a pass and took off down the court for a fast-break attempt. But Carlos Boozer had other plans. He chased down Humphries and gave a hard foul (or a really light tackle, whichever you prefer). The play resulted in a technical foul for Boozer.
Going forward: More Noah! The Celtics and Bulls meet again Monday in Chicago. Rondo will be announcing the first quarter with Mike Gorman for CSNNE, so you should probably tune in.

Hosts of this year's Telus Cup fall 6-3 to Titans
© Keith Gosse/The Telegram
John Mullally (left) of the Halifax Titans and Danny Wicks (second from left) of the St. John's Privateers collide during a scramble in front of the Titans' net during Telus Cup hockey action at Mile One Centre Monday night. Sliding into Titans goaltender Jacob Fancy is Privateers player Alex MacNeil.
The St. John's Pennecon Privateers dropped their opening game of the 2011 Telus Cup national major midget hockey championship at Mile One Centre Monday night.
The Privateers, hosts of this year's tournament, fell 6-3 to the Halifax Titans in front a sparse crowd of close to 2,000 at the 6,250-seat centre.
Alex Hazelhurst scored twice and set up another in the third to lead the Titans, the Atlantic region representatives.
Damon MacEachern added a goal and two helpers, while Ryan Falkenham, Adam Brown and Jordan Keizer also scored for Halifax, which led 2-0 after the first period and 4-2 after the second.
Brandon Pye, Danny Wicks and Justin O'Reilly replied for the Privateers.
Titans' netminder Jacob Fancy turned aside 27 of 30 shots, while the Privateers' Scott Walsh stopped 25 of 31.
In other games Monday, Quebec's Lions de Lac St. Louis edged Ontario's London Junior Knights 5-4, while the Pacific region representatives, the Vancouver North West Giants, trounced the Winnipeg Thrashers, the Western region champs, 12-5.
The 17 total goals in that one tied the all-time Telus Cup record for combined goals in a game, set in 2000.

Travis Rice
This part from Absinthe's Neverland is Travis Rice at his very best: simple, balls to the wall, 'Muuurican shred god. With all his new found artistry in the Art of Flight ultracam ventures, deep down he's still a humble Jackson's Hole shredneck, and this part is the proof, a classic.
It's not the actual buttets he does that are so great here, but how stylish he makes them even as celebratory tricks. In the same way that skateboarder Geoff Rowley almost never rolls away from a huge stair set or street rail without popping a few flip tricks afterwards, Travis is never set to anything but all out extreme mode, buttering and jibbing anything in sight.
We've highlighted the opener – a massive slash into a huge drop into plenty of pops, slashes and butters, but there's plenty more through the video including some amazing straightlined presses at 3.50. Right after the infamous 'Luke Skywalker on a horse' moment. We love you Travis.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Devils, who play Game 7 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Florida Panthers Thursday night at the BankAtlantic Center, would face either the Philadelphia Flyers or Washington Capitals in the next round.
The Devils cannot face the Rangers in Round 2.
If the Rangers defeat the Ottawa Senators in their seventh game, the Devils would meet the Flyers if they can get past the Panthers.
* * *
Goalie Jose Theodore, who was unable to play in Game 6 for the Panthers, took part in the team's morning skate today and will start Game 7
The Panthers had three goalies on the ice-- Theodore, Scott Clemmensen and Jacob Markstrom. However, Theodore gets the start.
"I expect him to go out and do what he's done for us all year," coach Kevin Dineen said. "He's given us credibility and stability. He deserves to start if he can go."
Defenseman Jason Garrison, who missed three games with a lower body injury, said he was ready to play. Although he said it would officially be a game time decision, he is almost assured of playing in Game 7.
"Garrison and Jose Theodore look positive that they'll be able to play," Dineen said.
Garrison spoke of his injury.
"It was something that over time I was dealing with," Garrison explained. "It just got to the point where I was probably going to be a liability on the ice. I just needed a little time and this is probably the right timetable. I'm looking forward to getting back.
"I healed good. The (medical) staff did a good job with me. I'm just looking forward to playing,"

It's not just spaceships and rockets that can reach the stars. It's determination that fuels us into the horizon -- something the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum aims to instill this Saturday at the Reaching for the Stars day dedicated to people with special needs.
"The primary core of the mission of the museum is to inspire and educate, and that's everybody, not just aviation buffs, but kids and people with special needs," Larry Wood, Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum director, said. "This event is an opportunity for special needs kids and adults to come to the museum and not feel singled out."
Various organizations, including Autism Speaks, Team Shine cheerleading, Special Olympics of Oregon and Providence Hospital in Newberg, will be hosting booths at the event.
The museum will have educational activities available such as launching paper rockets, dressing up like an astronaut and learning about the artifacts in the museum.
Captain Michael King Smith, an F-15 pilot and a lead squadron fighter of the Oregon Air National Guard, dreamed of creating a world class aviation museum, filled with inspiring stories of early aviators to educate and encourage others to pursue their dreams. Today, the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum is the realization of Smith's dream, which has become famous for housing the world's largest wooden flying boat, the "Spruce Goose."
But the museum's education objectives go beyond aviation. "The whole reason we started Reaching for the Stars was to give everyone the opportunity to be part of the museum and experience the museum," Melissa Grace, director of marketing and special events, said. "It's just amazing to see how everyone can enjoy the museum and have the opportunity to find their niche."

Comments: Used one of these black and blue DB Rage Craws on the back of a Z-Man chatterbait & was very impressed by the action it produced as a trailer! I see a lot of reviews talking about it being a great punching bait, but try it as a trailer & you will be very happy with the outcome!
From: Jude: Fairfax, VA 6/6/16
Comments: I punch these and flip them all over the delta in cali & they have produced a lot of fish duability wise eh but other than that great subtle bait for every application! my colors are summer craw & bama craw
From: Lucien: CA 12/5/15
Comments: Got 2 packs of these to try, and have to say I am impressed with these baits. Used them for punching and produced well. Averaged 2 fish a bait, probably could have gotten 3, but decided to swap out and put the used ones away to repair with some mend-it when I got home. Nice action, seemed to produce a bigger bite then the 4" beaver style baits. Will be using these more and looking fwd to see how they perform in the winter months. But agree they do need a few more colors also.
From: William: Long Beach, CA 7/18/14
Comments: Easily my favorite soft plastic bait from Strike King. Very subtle yet still has a lot of action like all Rage products. Only 2 complaints: 1 is the durability and 2 is the color selection. Strike King please make more colors in this craw! (Green Pumpkin Purp/Gold)
From: Chris: MI 7/8/14
Comments: Great little craw. Subtle yet draws fish to it. Works best if you do not over power it with a large weight. Anything heavier than 3/8 oz will take away the allure of the bait. Buy several packs because I usually go through a pack a trip.
From: Matt: Broken Arrow, OK 6/8/14
Comments: I love the rage craw and lobster but sometimes something more subtle is needed and I opt for a more subtle craw...This thing will have just the right amount of "flap" to it. It's also a GREAT alternative to the rage craw/rage lobster when punching thru mats or behind a skirted t-rig..when u need something more 'streamlined' to "slip" thru the vegetation/wood/grass/etc. It also seems like the plastic is SOFTER and has less salt. Seems like it'll be more durable than the standard rage craws... AWESOME smallmouth bait on a picasso shakey head ballhead or football screw lock jig...or finesse/clear water largemouth. Try them if you like the Rage series of soft plastics. TRY THEM. Try them now.
From: Tanner: The Riv, MA
Comments: decent craw smallmouth around my area love it but the problem is the claws are very thin so dont be surprised after 1 or 2 fish youll have one or no claws on it yet
From: Evan: central pa
Comments: just ordered some. I watched the product video and hey looked amazing. im gonna flip some rip rap with these. bama Craw looks like a hoss color.

The design, construction, or
modification of buildings and
facilities must reflect the
architectural character of the
region. Architectural character
grows from the following factors:
• Landscape setting and physical
• Traditions of indigenous cultures,
including early European settlers
and subsequent development.
• National and regional
architectural styles.
European settlers imported their
building traditions. For example,
New England's early English
settlers imported the use of split
boards for siding (a response to
the shortage of timber in England)
to New England. In the mid-
Atlantic region, German settlers
who favored square-log house
construction in central Europe
(which had large forests to
support this construction)
continued to build with logs
in the new land.
Other settlers adapted to new conditions. In the
Southwest, the Spanish colonists combined their
architectural traditions with the adobe Pueblo
architecture that adapted so well to the desert.
In rainy Florida, the Spaniards developed a
waterproofing material called tabby, made from
a ground-up mix of lime and oyster shells.
Lacking such modern technologies as air
conditioning or earth-moving equipment, earlier
builders learned to work with the constraints of
each site. The results of their labors provide
valuable lessons for sustainability. For example,
they knew how to minimize site disturbance and
how to maximize natural heating and cooling.
The early built environments of the Forest Service
fit squarely within these cultural traditions.
When sited in remote locations, Forest Service
buildings were by necessity made from local
materials using local skills. As a result, log cabins
were erected in the mountains and adobe
structures in the Southwest.
Tested by time and proven to be utilitarian,
traditional designs continue to be suitable and
sustainable models for Forest Service structures.
The best traditional designs:
• Use locally available building materials.
• Respond to the climate.
• Work sensitively within the landscape setting,
taking advantage of solar orientation, shade
trees, prevailing breezes, and topography.
• Reflect the region's culture. For example:
Elements of New England historical context are reflected in a New England architectural character. (Fig. 9)
Elements of North Pacific historical context are reflected in a North Pacific architectural character. (Fig. 10)
Issues to consider:
• What are the traditional building styles of
the region? Of the forest?
• What materials, colors, and building
techniques were traditionally used?
• Can these be adapted using modern building
techniques and materials?
• Does the design fit within the image, history,
and culture of the Forest Service?
• Where does the site fit into the Recreation
Opportunity Spectrum?
