Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will learn about the discovery of a transitional animal and discuss the impact on the theory of evolution. When Kevin Padian, a paleontologist and professor at the University of California, Berkeley, gave his testimony in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, he provided evidence against a commonly held claim among creationists that the fossil record has gaps, and particularly that transitional forms are missing. Padian provided specific evidence of numerous "missing links" between various transitions, for example Acanthostega for the transition from fish to amphibians, and Archaeopteryx for the transition from dinosaurs to birds. However, the discovery of one of the most beautiful examples of a transitional species occurred after Kitzmiller v. Dover. In this lesson we learn about the discovery of Tiktaalik, why it is considered a transitional form, and where it fits in the transition of aquatic to terrestrial vertebrates.
Note: This lesson includes several optional activities. You can choose whether to incorporate these activities depending on how much class time is available and/or on the level of your students.

The Lesson
Part I: Fish Fins and Tetrapod Limbs
1. Tell students that they will be studying the evidence for the evolutionary transition from a fish-like ancestor that lived in the water to a salamander-like ancestor that walked on land. Provide students with the Skeletal Structures of Four Vertebrates PDF Document to begin looking at the basic anatomy of the forelimb. Discuss the following questions:
- What similarities and differences do you see in these bone structures?
- What might this say about the common ancestors of four-limbed vertebrates?
2. To interpret the fossil record or understand whether a fossil is a transitional form, we need to know the parts of the structures important in the transition. Tell students that they will begin with a human because we are most familiar with this structure. Ask them to start by identifying the following structures on the human forelimb diagram: humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. Then ask students to identify the structures listed above on the forelimbs of the amphibian and the bird. Discuss the following questions:
- What do you notice about the placement and structure of the humerus, radius, and ulna in each of the skeletons?
- Why might these three animals show similarities and differences in the structure of their forelimbs?
Note: It is important that students understand that, given our common ancestry with all four-limbed vertebrates, we should be able to compare the forelimb of a human with the forelimb of other terrestrial vertebrates. We expect there to be differences because we inhabit very different environments and are required to do very different tasks with our forelimbs, but we can also find many similarities.
Finally, ask students to take a look at the structure of the fin of a ray-finned fish. The anatomy of a fish fin is quite different from that of the previous animals. Label the axial and radial structures with the students. Ask students to summarize similarities and differences between the pectoral fin of the fish and the pectoral limb (forelimb) of the other animals.
Note: Students should notice that the pectoral fin of the fish (even though it did share a common ancestor with the human, amphibian, and bird at some point in time) is very different. The pectoral fin of a ray-finned fish is made up of many small rays that consist of linear arrangements of bones. The specific bones can be difficult to discern, but are generally comprised of radial (closest to the body) and axial (furthest from the body) bones.
3. Explain to students that we can use the similarities among species to construct a cladogram, a diagram used to illustrate evolutionary relationships among species by analyzing certain kinds of characters, or physical features, in the organisms. In the course of evolution, a novel, heritable trait will emerge in some organism. This trait—which corresponds to a particular form of one character (for example, the presence or absence of vertebrae)—will be passed on to its descendants. Two organisms that share such a new, or derived, trait or group of traits are therefore more closely related to each other than to organisms that lack those traits. By treating recently evolved characteristics differently from ancestral characteristics, this technique emphasizes evolutionary relationships over structural similarities. Hand out the Cladistics: Definition of Terms PDF Document and review the cladogram definition and illustration with students.
To make a cladogram, we compare the traits of one group of species with those of an "outgroup," a group that is not thought to be closely related to the group being studied. For example, when looking at the ancestry of certain mammals, we can compare their traits with those of non-mammalian vertebrates, such as birds. In doing this, we find that all mammals and birds have vertebrae and four limbs, so they must have descended from a common ancestor. Thus, we can conclude that these traits were present in some ancestor of these particular mammals. Have students fill in the Student Version of the Character Matrix for Constructing a Cladogram PDF Document, indicating a "0" if the trait is absent in the group and a "1" if the trait is present. Students should do this in pairs, then explain and compare their answers in small groups. Finally, have students check their answers as you review the exercise with the whole class. Note: Answer key for teachers is included in the PDF Document.
Next, have student pairs use the data in the character matrix to build a cladogram to explore the common ancestry of different organisms. Students should follow the protocol below:
- Identify characters that all individuals share—shared inherited characters that are typical of the whole group.
- Find out which character(s) is/are shared by all but one species. That species will be the first to branch off the cladogram.
- Continue to analyze the remainder of the species by finding which ones share the most and least characters, and then placing them one-by-one on the cladogram.
- Be sure to do the following:
- Place the names of organisms (or taxa) on the outer tips of branches.
- At each internode, list the shared derived characters that all organisms at the ends of the branches that follow it share (unless modified later).
- Record shared derived characters only once, unless you want to indicate that the character evolved several times independently (not probable).
After students have constructed their cladograms, ask them to discuss their hypotheses about the common ancestry of these organisms.
4. (Optional) If you want to show students how scientists did similar work when studying Devonian fish fossils, you can display this Sample Data Matrix HTML Document from the Nature Web site. Scroll to the bottom of the document to see the matrix. The characters (#1-114), which are described in the first five pages, can be read in vertical columns in the matrix.
5. (Optional) Ask students to to use the Tree of Life Web Project to develop a new cladogram showing the evolutionary relationships of the following organisms: an actinopterygian fish (such as a salmon), a sarcopterygian fish (such as a lungfish or coelacanth), an amphibian (such as a salamander), a bullfrog, a lizard (such as an iguana), a snake (such as a rattlesnake), a bird (such as a chicken), a crocodile, a turtle, a cow, a human, and a chimpanzee. This can be done in a lab as a whole class, or for homework. Begin by orienting the class to the Web site. Make sure students understand that they are looking at a single cladogram that is separated into pages or levels on the Web site. Then have students work in pairs to draw their new cladogram. More advanced students can provide names for each of the nodes as well as the tip species. The cladogram that students construct should look like the Sample Cladogram PDF Document.
Part II: The Fossil Evidence
6. Have students watch the Fish with Fingers QuickTime Video. Then, provide students with the Sample Cladogram PDF Document. Ask students to study the cladogram. Make sure that they understand that Eusthenopteron, Panderichthys, Tiktaalik, Acanthostega, Ichthyostega, and Tulerpeton represent species from the fossil record.
Note: If you need more information on these species to share with your students, you can find them on the Tree of Life Web Project or the Devonian Times Web site. You can also find images of the fossils to share with students.
7. (Optional) For more information about Devonian fish fossils listed in the sample cladogram, show students the Summary of Late Devonian Fish and Early Tetrapods PDF Document. Advanced students can try to construct a timeline that shows when they think each of these fossil species existed. They can then place the fossils in the timeline based on the age of the rock in which the fossils were found. They can then use information from the Tree of Life Web Project and the Devonian Times Web site to add information about the characters of these fossil species to their cladogram.
Explain to students that we are most interested in the transition from a fish-like ancestor to a tetrapod. Given what students have learned about the placement of these animals (the lobe-finned fish-like Eusthenopteron and Panderichthys, and the early tetrapod-like Acanthostega and Ichthyostega) in the cladogram, ask them to consider where they would look (habitat, environment, time period) and what would they look for (what fossil characters would qualify as intermediary) to further delineate this transition.
8. Watch the Transitional Tetrapod Fossil QuickTime Video to see Neil Shubin describe the discovery of Tiktaalik in rocks on Canada's Ellsmere Island.
Discuss the following questions with students:
- What characters link Tiktaalik to fish-like ancestors?
- What characters link Tiktaalik to more tetrapod-like ancestors?
9. As noted in the previous video, the structure of the pectoral fin of Tiktaalik provides evidence of how organisms may have made the transition from living in an aquatic environment to moving about on land. Have students color the different structures of the skeletons on the Pectoral Limb PDF Document, being sure to use the same color for the same structures in different species. Students should then cut these diagrams out and place them on the cladogram with their corresponding organisms. Ask students: How does the structure of its forelimbs help explain Tiktaalik's place on the cladogram?
10. (Optional) To further understand the significance of Tiktaalik, it is important to also examine some of the other characters that define Tiktaalik as a transitional form (in addition to the pectoral fin/forelimb). Have students read one of the following summary articles. Ask them to list and describe the structures that indicate Tiktaalik's more primitive ancestry as well as the structures that relate to the origin of tetrapods.
Check for Understanding
Have students explain why Tiktaalik is so important and newsworthy a fossil find, but also not much of a surprise given what was already known.

Quaker Hill Cemetery
Limaville, Stark County, Ohio
McCullam Ave NE and German Church Rd, Limaville OH
Lat: 40° 59' 16"N, Lon: 81° 10' 22"W
Lexington Twp, T19N R6W Sec
Contributed by Melinda Tharpe, Jun 06, 2006, last edited Jun 09, 2006 [firstname.lastname@example.com]. Total records = 39.
To reach cemetery from Limaville, drive north on Hwy 183, turn left/west onto German Church Road and continue for about 1.5 mile, to Stroup Road. The cemetery is in the southwest corner of the intersection.
This cemetery is sometimes called Deer Creek Cemetery, because that is the area it is in. It is very near Walborn Reservoir (100 yds. or so). The Stark and Portage county line serves as the cemetery's north border. It is situated on the west side of McCullam Ave NE across from the former Deer Creek Quaker Meeting House.
There is an Ohio Historical Site plaque situated at the crossroads. It explains that the land on which the cemetery is located was donated by Isaac Coates, from Chester County, Pennsylvania. It goes on to say that Mr. Coates brought his family to Lexington in 1820 and that the name Deer Creek comes from the nearby stream and the numerous deer that can be found in the area. Isaac Coates is said to be buried here but I could not find his stone.
The cemetery is mowed throughout the summer but that is the extent of it's upkeep. Many of the stones are fallen, broken, or sinking into the ground.
This is a complete listing of all visible burials and was compiled using actual tombstone inscriptions. I walked and read this cemetery on Apr 18, 2006.

While Patti Blagojevich roams the jungle in Costa Rica on a reality television show as a replacement for her indicted and travel-restricted husband, the former governor will still participate in a "surprise" manner, the couple's publicist said today.
Producers of "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here," an NBC show that will be taped this season in Costa Rica, had offered Rod Blagojevich $80,000 to appear on the show, but a federal judge barred him from leaving the country because of his indictment on federal corruption charges. The couple appeared this morning on NBC's "Today" show to confirm their appearance on the reality show.
Even though he can't go to Costa Rica, the ousted governor will be "involved in the program in other ways which will be a surprise," according to a press release from Blagojevich's publicist.

Dell'Arte della Guerra: war between capitalism and humanness
by Vladan Petkovic
- The recently released Italian documentary tells a heroic story of factory workers who won a battle in the war against capitalistic machinery
Luca Bellino and Silvia Luzi's Dell'Arte della Guerra [+see also:
film profile] (On the Art of War) was released last week in Italy. This exciting and important documentary tells the story of the workers at the Innse factory in Milan (formerly the famous Innocenti), winners in the war against the owner, who wanted to close the still-productive factory in order to sell off the machinery and make space for more lucrative residence buildings.
In August 2009, 14 months after the dismantling of the factory began, four of the workers decided to put a stop to it by climbing up onto the gantry crane and threatening to throw themselves off it if their requests were not fulfilled.Numerous circumstances influenced this development: the fact that the Union was not supporting the Innse workers, shady political games behind the scenes, and massive speculations linking organised crime to the construction companies that were transforming the industrial area into a residential one (Innse was the last factory remaining in the former industrial area) are only some of the aspects of this complicated story that is, in its essence, about the fight between ruthless capitalism and simple humanness, and between the faceless and emotionless state apparatus and basic human rights.
The title Dell'Arte della Guerra is spot on: the most prominent of the workers, and also the most verbal interviewee, Vincenzo Acerenza, compares their struggle to a war, and likens the development and the protagonists to a military strategy. "We had to form an army," Acerenza says, comparing each event and psychological state of the workers/warriors to different stages in a war.
Bellino and Luzi tell the story through a successful combination of TV footage from the reports in front of the factory, long shots of empty hangars and interviews with the workers placed in this almost post-apocalyptic environment. The inventive use of sound, extreme close-ups of the protagonists and dynamic editing by Bellino give the film the feeling of a thriller much more than of a documentary.
Although it premiered at the 2012 Rome Film Festival, Kino Produzioni's Dell'Arte della Guerra only found distribution last week through Lab 80 Films. This fact also reflects the social circumstances in Italy, a subject matter that should perhaps be covered by a much higher number of films than are currently being released.

Fabletics Review & $25 Off Coupon – November 2014
Fabletics is a monthly workout clothing subscription – each month they release a new collection and you can pick out any outfit you like (including from previous months). Or you can skip that month.
This subscription has been around for about a year now, and it's one of my all-time favorites. The value and the quality of the clothing are great!
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Subscription Box: Fabletics
The Cost: Starts at $49.95 an outfit
COUPON: Use this link to get your first outfit for only $25!
The Products: Workout clothing and accessories.
Ships to: US only.
Check out all my Fabletics Reviews and the Fitness Subscription Box list too!
This month I decided to go with the Amber Outfit for $59.95. (And I also added on the Kingston Pullover.
Tahoe Tank – Value $37.95
This tank has a built in bra with removeable cups. It's fitted too, but flares out a little in the torso making it very comfortable!
Salar Legging in Black – Value $49.95
This is my favorite legging from Fabletics – it's maximum compression so it always stays fitted even after wearing it for the entire day. (I also recently layered two Salar leggings to get extra warmth with great success – I think it may become my new winter uniform!)
Kingston Pullover – Value $49.95 (Cost for VIP subscribers $39.95)
I added this to my order this month since I already have this sweatshirt in blue from months ago. They now offer it in this cranberry shade and black, with matching color zippers. (I like this better than the white contrast zippers in the previous style). This is described as a "Relaxed Fit" by Fabletics, which to me always means loose. I typically order a Large in fitted Fabletics Tanks, but for this sweatshirt I sized down to a small and it still fits.
Verdict: I'm happy with my new outfit this month – and I had to treat myself to a cozy pullover since it's getting SO cold! What did you pick from Fabletics this month?

I could just put the old site back up, but the code sucked and it was boring. I'm going to put the new codebase up that has been in the works for a while.

Seasoned journalist and political analyst Karima Brown predicts that President Zuma's critics within the ANC will face scrutiny for their action or inaction during today's vote of no confidence debate.
The DA has tabled a fresh motion of no confidence in Zuma after the release of the state capture report last week.
Members of Parliament (MPS) can either vote yes, vote no, or abstain.
Brown says vocal ANC MPs, such as chief whip Jackson Mthembu will have to somehow pass the bar of credibility.
She says the public will be watching Zuma's critics closely, and they will have to manage the public perception if they are seen as meek MPs who take no action.
They are running the very high risk of speaking in code to the public, and speaking to their membership.— Karima Brown, political analyst
They will have to find a way to transcend the perception that they are meek sheep and that they are not prepared to stand up to President Zuma.— Karima Brown, political analyst
It is expected that most ANC MPs will vote no, abstain or be absent from the sitting.
It's widely expected that ANC MPs won't give credence to an opposition-led motion.— Karima Brown, political analyst
Meanwhile, EFF leader Julius Malema said the motion was a bad idea as it would unite opposing ANC factions.
(WATCH the debate unfold here).

Five Fiat Chrysler Vehicles Named 'Most Loved In America' By Strategic Vision0
Sponsored Links
Five new Fiat Chrysler vehicles have been named the 'most loved' in their respective segments by consumer analyst agency Strategic Vision, the automaker has announced.
The Jeep Renegade is the most loved vehicle in the Entry SUV segment, while the most loved Small Cars were the Fiat 500 and Fiat 500e. Larger Fiat Chrysler vehicles also performed well in the rankings, with the Dodge Durango being the most loved Full-Size SUV and the Charger being named the most loved Full-Size Car.
"FCA continues to establish a strong foundation of vehicle finish, pride and excitement among owners of FIAT, Jeep and Dodge," said senior vice president of Strategic Vision Christopher Chaney. "All of this, combined with increasing trust from the overall ownership experience, is causing buyers to absolutely love the choice they made, and love always leads to loyalty."
According to Strategic Vision, brand loyalty is not about customer satisfaction but about those buyers who true "love" their car buying and ownership experience. They base their rankings on their own "Customer Love Index," which is able to reveal which vehicles are doing the best at "creating love," and why they are more successful at it than their competition. More than 44,000 vehicle owners are interviewed in their findings.

Nitrates may be an environmental trigger for Alzheimer's, diabetes and Parkinson's Disease
A new study by researchers at Rhode Island Hospital have found a substantial link between increased levels of nitrates in our environment and food with increased deaths from diseases, including Alzheimer's, diabetes mellitus and Parkinson's.
Other diseases including HIV-AIDS, cerebrovascular disease, and leukemia did not exhibit those trends. De la Monte proposes that the increase in exposure plays a critical role in the cause, development and effects of the pandemic of these insulin-resistant diseases.

Oil & Gas
Ethiopia's waste-to-energy success points way for West-African nations
Waste management, that is, the collection, processing and disposal of solid waste is one of the biggest challenges facing many African countries; Ethiopia is showing how this can be transformed into asset.
Waste-to-energy uses trash as a fuel for power generation. Similar to other power plants (just using trash rather than other fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas), the fuel is burned in an environmentally sustainable manner, in a combustion chamber to heat tubes of water in boiler walls. The water is heated until it turns into steam, which is then used to drive a turbine generator that produces electricity.
Prior to the launch of the Reppie Facility in Addis Ababa, the Koshe dump site was the only landfill in Addis Ababa. As the city grew, so did Koshe, until it was the size of 36 football pitches. Thousands of people scavenged the dump site, often in dangerous conditions.
In 2017, tragedy struck when a landslide killed 114 people. By burning waste the new factory should make Koshe safer for everyone.
Ethiopia's new Reppie Facility will burn over 1, 400 tons of waste a day to power 25 percent of Addis Ababa's homes, and provide electricity to over 3 million people, while creating hundreds of jobs.
Three million bricks will be made from ash produced by the facility and 30 million litres of water will be recovered from the trash. Its owners say converting the city's carbondioxide is the equivalent of planting 900, 000 trees a year. The factory's creator is Samuel Alemayehu, one of the World Economic Forum's 2018 Group of Young Global Leaders. This plant is Africa's first.
"The Reppie project is just one component of Ethiopia's broader strategy to address pollution and embrace renewable energy across all sectors of the economy," said Zerubabel Getachew, Ethiopia's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations in Nairobi. "We hope that Reppie will serve as a model for other countries in the region, and around the world."
In a recent report, the World Bank estimated that around the world, waste generation rates are rising. In 2012, the worlds' cities generated 1.3 billion tonnes of solid waste per year, amounting to a footprint of 1.2 kilograms per person per day. With rapid population growth and urbanisation, municipal waste generation is expected to rise to 2.2 billion tonnes by 2025. This is could be converted into an enormous source of power in developing countries.
In Liberia, the World Bank has committed $10.5 million to improve waste collection and construct a new sanitary landfill and transfer stations.
In Burkina Faso, the Bretton Woods institution has supported the solid waste sector with over $67 million in loans since 2005, supporting waste sector planning and construction of two landfills. The capital city, Ouagdougou, now collects an average of 78 percent of waste generated, which is significantly higher than the 46 percent average in Sub-Saharan Africa. This could go a step further, as the Reppie Facility in Addis Ababa has shown.
Meanwhile, in Lagos over 20 million inhabitants generate 13, 000 metric tonnes daily according to Lagos State Waste Management Authority, (LAWMA). Studies have shown that burning waste at dumpsites produces air toxins.
Typically, burning occurs at low temperatures (250 to 700 Celsius) in oxygen-starved conditions. Hydrocarbons, chlorinated materials and pesticide compounds under these conditions produce a wide range of toxic gases harmful to the environment and public health. This currently constitutes environmental nuisance, yet holds opportunity to generating significant energy.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has estimated that environmental exposure contributes to 19 percent of the incidence of cancer worldwide.
Ethiopia's waste-to-energy project was developed by British firm, Cambridge Industries Limited and the China Electrical Engineering Company (CNEEC). It will prevent the emission of 46,494 tons of greenhouse gases, every year and points the way to other African nations.

Want a life of leisure? Be a renter
Unloading their home and all its demands was the right thing to do for one couple
A mere three months after the move, it's possible I've already spent more time with my feet propped up out on the deck than I ever spent relaxing in the yard of the house where we lived for six years.
I sink into the cushions of a wicker armchair that was rarely used because it was in our guest room and listen to CDs long unplayed because they lived in the same room as our TV.
It sounds as if we traded up residences, doesn't it? Even though our new place isn't quite as big or well cared for as our last, that's how it feels to my husband and me. But the truth is, we traded out of the Bay Area real estate market and returned to the world of Navajo white walls, moving into a rental house less than a mile from the one we sold.
And after just two paragraphs, some of the homeowners reading this are looking wistful, saying to themselves, or maybe a loved one nearby, "I wish I could do that." The rest are exclaiming, "What, are you crazy?" Scorching or icy, booming or busting, there's nothing like California's housing market for animated conversations - and, it turned out for us, unconventional decisions.
We bought our three-bedroom, 21/2-bathroom townhouse in Alameda for $348,000 in July 2001, during a slight lull in the booming market. We didn't overreach, putting down 20 percent (proceeds from the sale of a one-bedroom condo) and ultimately landing a 30-year mortgage at 57/8 percent with payments of about $1,750, plus homeowners association dues of $220 - less than $2,000 a month. But within five years, it was clear that with property taxes, skyrocketing dues, a $6,500 HOA roof assessment and a few other misfortunes that caused us to tap into some equity, our house was costing us nearly $3,000 a month.
In the meantime, the place had appreciated into the mid-$500,000s. We had made money - but we didn't have any; the house had it all. If a car died, if the HOA demanded another $6,500, if a couple of weeks passed without a paycheck or the kitchen was to be brought into the 21st century, there would be more borrowing on the house. In the event of a Big One - earthquake or market collapse - we'd have debt and no equity.
Some people say, well, that's the way it should be - you struggle to pay off your house so that you don't have to struggle in your golden years. Rent a house, and you'll just be throwing money away, helping someone else buy a house instead of buying your own, funding their American dream, not yours.
We answer that there's no way we'd be living in that house long enough to pay for it, that our dream is to leave the Bay Area in five or six years and live a slower, cheaper life. And we agreed that if we're only to live in this most beautiful region in the country for a few more years, it would be nice to enjoy them rather than to worry through them.
The numbers told us that we could liquidate our house and rent a nice house nearby for $2,000, which was slightly less than we were paying for mortgage plus dues alone, not to mention property taxes, home-equity loan and maintenance. We could save and invest the payout, and - so that we don't have to struggle in our golden years - we could maximize our 401(k) and IRA contributions to offset the loss of our mortgage tax deduction.
And so, we did it.
We put our house - at the bottom of a still thriving and busy Alameda market - up for sale with a discount broker May 2, and in less than a month were in contract at $552,000, with a close-of-escrow date set for June 29. Everything went well - the only problem proved to be finding another place to live.
We were up front about our wish to settle in a house for several years, and hoped prospective landlords would be equally up front with us. So there were a couple of opportunities we let pass because it seemed the landlords were looking for temporary tenants. A good tip-off: One wanted to keep all her stuff in the garage.
We also steered away from houses with more than two bedrooms. It had been nice having a dedicated guest room, but we just didn't have enough company to justify the space.
We were also appalled to see some houses like ours that were built in 1970 and are still living in 1970. In one, the avocado range was such a mess that we could not believe it would work. Another still had the gold suede wallpaper that was probably a decorator touch in the year it was built.
We also had the pet problem. The problem was: We don't have one. Incredibly, during the month or so we looked at rental houses, there were two nice two-bedroom houses that were pet friendly. And so instead of two child-free, pet-free adults with jobs and assets being perhaps prime candidates for these homes, we were vying with all of the renters with big dogs who couldn't even apply for other neighborhood houses.
At this point, we made a contingency plan to put all of our stuff in storage and live in a hotel for however long it took us to find a house we liked. We didn't like this plan much, but we both like to golf and thought we could make it into a living vacation by choosing a hotel across a street from a golf course. This plan sounded more appealing than the idea of moving into 1970.
As typically happens when you hope for the best but plan for the worst, one of the pet-friendly houses turned out to be the right one for us. And the longer we are there and the pet odor dissipates, the clearer it becomes that it is really a great house for us, better for us than the house we owned.
It has no planted garden - but it does have three outdoor spaces ideal for container gardening, and one of the outdoor spaces is practically an outdoor room, on a shaded upstairs deck that overlooks other houses and a driveway yet offers a view of nothing but trees and sky once you take a seat. It has no guest room, but we decided to sleep in the slightly smaller bedroom and turn the bigger one into a multipurpose space (with computer, stereo, books and bed) where company can feel comfortable for a few days. It has not been updated much over the years, but the property management company quickly answers to health or safety matters. Everything about the kitchen seems miniature - the oven won't even hold a cookie sheet - yet the range works fine and the food tastes as good as ever, if not a little better.
The move forced us to downscale, donate, recycle and sell many of the things that had been taking up space in our old place, so we are lighter in other areas besides just bills. A richer shade of paint on the walls would enhance the artwork on them, but we don't fuss over that because, well, the walls aren't ours.
Wish you were us? Think we're crazy? Whatever. Excuse us while we go up to the deck and relax.
Sell to rent
-- When fate dictates a move, you're ready to go.
-- Unless you're blowing the profits on fancy cars and vacations, you'll have money to buy again if you want to.
-- Maximized 401(k) and IRA savings can offset loss of the mortgage interest tax deduction.
-- Over the short run, renting is cheaper than buying.
-- If the housing market crashes, you'll still be worth something.
Keep the house
-- If something needs repair or cosmetic work, you can do it yourself.
-- Paint the walls any color you want.
-- Mortgage interest can represent a huge tax deduction.
-- Many experts believe there's no better long-term investment than California real estate.
-- If the stock market crashes, you'll have a roof over your head.

As of Friday June 19, 2015, the average price of Live Free On Board Cattle was $151.93. This price is an average drawn from agweb.com, agcenter.com, and ams.usda.gov. While generally stable, this price is subject to change due to market events as diverse as flooding, speculation, and fuel prices.Continue Reading
Live Free On Board (FOB) Cattle refers to the point at which the animals are purchased for slaughter.
Cattle are also often sold for breeding and other purposes before trans-shipment. These are referred to as Feeder Cattle in financial markets.
Another important price category is Dressed For Delivery. This is the price of the animal once it has been slaughtered, butchered, and prepared for sale to retailers and other users. Due to the added labor, it will generally be higher than the FOB price.Learn more about Agriculture

The Promat team — comprised of personnel from Promat China and the Promat Asia Pacific Regional Tunnel Manager — have been working on the HZMB project for a number of years.
The designers chose the RABT curve up to maximum 1200°C. After the fire test it was determined that 25mm thick PROMATECT®-H was required to be fixed directly to concrete in accordance with the design and regulatory specifications.
Approximately 290,000m² of PROMATECT®-H and 8,000 tubes of 600ml PROMASEAL®-A Acrylic Sealant are employed in the HZMB tunnel making it one of the largest fire resistant board construction jobs for the tunnel segment business of Promat worldwide.
A substantial amount of PROMASEAL® FyreStrip is used to seal various movement joints within the concrete.

This fact alone, depending on how you crunch the numbers, might make IT salaries appear modestly higher. As laid off workers are removed from the average, only the more essential workers remain. These essential staffers are (in theory) better compensated than their expendable colleagues.
But this formulation could certainly be debated by economists and accountants not to mention disgruntled IT staffers who are still employed yet dont feel like theyre better compensated.
Also contributing to the resilience of IT salaries is the lingering effect of the dotcom crash, with its massive tech bloodletting. IT wages fell, and some disenchanted professionals left the field altogether. College students, witnessing the carnage (and scary headlines about outsourcing) became leery of going into tech. Computer science enrollment has suffered dips in the intervening years.
Acknowledging this trend, the Computer Economics report includes this:
IT wages experienced no growth and, in some cases, declines following the last recession and only began to recover in 2004. But that recession was led by the technology sector. The subsequent tightening in the labor supply and drive to improve data center productivity has put IT organizations in a better position to respond to this recession.
Im not sure how a tightening labor supply helps IT organizations its good for IT workers but it actually causes companies labor costs to increase. On the other hand, the phrase about improved data center productivity, referring to the trend toward automated monitoring, acts to lower IT employment (but theoretically increase the wages of the few remaining IT wizards who understand the monitoring apps).
On a less cheery note, the report also includes this note of unalloyed pessimism:
The longer this recession persists and the deeper it goes, the more rising unemployment, bankruptcies, and deflation will conspire to put downward pressure on IT salaries, as it will for salaries in other occupational groups.
Yes, unfortunately thats true. We can only hope, as the cloud cover gets darker, that the recession ends sooner rather than later. Good luck with survival.
