The Kansas Automobile Injury Reparations Act, K.S.A. 40-3101 et seq., does not provide a private cause of action to an injured person.
Appeal from Bourbon District Court; GERALD W. HART, judge. Opinion filed June 25, 1999. Affirmed.
Charles Gentry, of Short, Gentry & Bishop, P.A., of Fort Scott, for appellant.
Zackery E. Reynolds, of The Reynolds Law Firm, P.A., of Fort Scott, for appellee Hinton.
No appearance for appellee Roletto.
Before BRAZIL, C.J., KNUDSON, J., and JACKSON, S.J.
JACKSON, J.: This is a personal injury action arising from an automobile accident. The trial court dismissed plaintiff's claim against the vehicle owner, finding that a violation of the Kansas Automobile Injury Reparations Act (KAIRA), K.S.A. 40-3101 et seq., did not give rise to a private cause of action. This appears to be a case of first impression in Kansas.
The sole question presented in this appeal is: Did the trial court err in concluding the KAIRA does not give rise to a private cause of action and in dismissing Loar's petition for failure to state a claim of relief as a matter of law?
After reviewing the record and the briefs of counsel, we conclude that the trial court was correct, and we affirm.
The facts are that in May 1997, Loar was riding in a vehicle driven by Diana Roletto but owned by Joe Hinton. An accident occurred, and Loar was injured. At the time of the accident, the vehicle was not insured, as required by K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 40-3104.
Loar filed a petition against Roletto and Hinton, alleging Roletto had been negligent in her operation of the vehicle and alleging Hinton had failed to procure the vehicle insurance required by K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 40-3104. Roletto failed to answer the petition, and a default judgment was entered against her in the requested amount of $27,959.04.
Hinton filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's petition in accordance with K.S.A. 60-212(b)(6), asserting that it failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted as a matter of law. The motion to dismiss argued that the petition did not allege Hinton was negligent and that the KAIRA does not create a private cause of action upon which a civil suit can be maintained.
After a hearing, the trial judge agreed, and Hinton's motion to dismiss was granted.
The question Loar requests this court address is one of law, and this court's review is unlimited. See Gillespie v. Seymour, 250 Kan. 123, 129, 823 P.2d 782 (1991).
In deciding this question,
"the test . . . is whether the legislature intended to give such a right. In the absence of express provisions, the legislative intent to grant or withhold such a right is determined primarily from the language of the statute. The nature of the evil sought to be remedied and the purpose the statute was intended to accomplish may also be taken into consideration." Kansas State Bank & Tr. Co. v. Specialized Transportation Services, Inc., 249 Kan. 348, 371, 819 P.2d 587 (1991).
Furthermore, "a statute which does not purport to establish a civil liability but merely makes provision to secure the safety or welfare of the public as an entity is not subject to construction establishing a civil liability." Greenlee v. Board of Clay County Comm'rs, 241 Kan. 802, 804, 740 P.2d 606 (1987).
The purpose of the KAIRA is "to provide a means of compensating persons promptly for accidental bodily injury arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance or use of motor vehicles in lieu of liability for damages to the extent provided herein." K.S.A. 40-3102. This provision has been described as the heart of the KAIRA. It provides a new approach for compensating accident victims "'on the basis of the interest of all the citizens of this state without losing sight of, but tempering, the right of an individual to pursue traditional remedies in tort.'" Burriss v. Northern Assurance Co. of America, 236 Kan. 326, 328, 691 P.2d 10 (1984) (quoting Manzanares v. Bell, 214 Kan. 589, 608, 522 P.2d 1291 [1974]).
The purpose of the KAIRA is to provide a particular compensation scheme for Kansas citizens involved in vehicular accidents, to be used in lieu of traditional tort remedies. This purpose does not encompass an individual cause of action based on failure to comply with a particular provision of the Act. Furthermore, the KAIRA provides this compensation scheme for the benefit of the public as a whole and not a particular class of individuals.
In addition, the KAIRA makes the failure to comply with certain provisions a criminal offense. See K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 40-3104(g)(1)-(2). The KAIRA further provides that in certain circumstances, the Secretary of Revenue may suspend the license of a noncomplying driver. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 40-3104(h). The legislature has thoroughly addressed the remedies for violating the KAIRA. The absence of a provision securing a private cause of action appears to be intentional. See Greenlee v. Board of Clay County Comm'rs, 241 Kan. at 808 (finding this reasoning persuasive in determining the cash-basis and budget laws did not provide a private cause of action).
The KAIRA was created in 1974. K.S.A. 40-3101. There have been many opportunities since then for the legislature to add a provision creating a private cause of action under this Act, yet it has not. See Kansas State Bank & Tr. Co., 249 Kan. at 373 (finding this fact persuasive in concluding the child abuse reporting statute did not provide a private cause of action). As the Supreme Court said: "Legislative creation, rather than judicial creation, is a persuasive policy argument." 249 Kan. at 372.
We have reviewed the several cases cited in Loar's brief in support of his contention that violation of the statute in question gives rise to a private cause of action. Cases are cited involving handrails, regulation of trucks, building code violations, and erection of fences around swimming pools. These cases do not stand for the proposition that the violation of a statute or ordinance alone gives rise to a private cause of action.
It was not the specific violation of the ordinance or statute which served as the basis for the cause of action; rather, the violation of the statute or ordinance was simply evidence of fault in proof of a tort claim. This is to be contrasted with the instant case, where it is the violation of the statute itself which is alleged to be actionable. Certainly, the claimed violation of the statute was not the proximate cause of Loar's injuries.
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Digital Literacy
A National Survey fin Wales in 2017-18 showed that 15% of adults (aged 16 and over) in Wales do not regularly use the internet. However, this figure is much higher (26%) amongst people with a limiting long-standing illness, disability or infirmity.
A new Welsh Government programme has been launched which will work with organisations across Wales, in order to help people increase their confidence using digital technology, with the aim of helping them improve and manage their health and well-being.
Digital Communities Wales: Digital Confidence, Health and Well-being, follows on from the initial Digital Communities Wales (DCW) programme which enabled 62,500 people to reap the benefits of going online in the last two years.
See here for more information
Zero Hours Contracts
Figures from the UK Higher Education Statistics Agency show that in total almost 11,500 people – both academics and support staff – working in universities on a standard basis were on a zero-hours contract in 2017-18, out of a total staff head count of about 430,000, reports the Times Higher Education. Zero-hours contract means the employer is not obliged to provide any minimum working hours
Separate figures that only look at the number of people who are employed on "atypical" academic contracts (such as people working on projects) show that 23 per cent of them, or just over 16,000, had a zero-hours contract.
Resistance decreases over time
Interesting research on student centered learning and student buy in, as picked up by an article in Inside Higher Ed. A new study published in PLOS ONE, called "Knowing Is Half the Battle: Assessments of Both Student Perception and Performance Are Necessary to Successfully Evaluate Curricular Transformation finds that student resistance to curriculum innovation decreases over time as it becomes the institutional norm, and that students increasingly link active learning to their learning gains over time
Postgrad pressure
Research published this year by Vitae and the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) and reported by the Guardian highlights the pressure on post graduate students.
"They might suffer anxiety about whether they deserve their place at university," says Sally Wilson, who led IES's contribution to the research. "Postgraduates can feel as though they are in a vacuum. They don't know how to structure their time. Many felt they didn't get support from their supervisor."
Taught students tend to fare better than researchers – they enjoy more structure and contact, says Sian Duffin, student support manager at Arden University. But she believes anxiety is on the rise. "The pressure to gain distinction grades is immense," she says. "Fear of failure can lead to perfectionism, anxiety and depression."

For most of her childhood, Jenna (not her real name) spent dinnertime staring at a plate of food that she refused to touch. She often was sent to bed hungry, or her parents caved and let her eat the only thing she could get down: French fries. Dinnertime hasn't changed much for the 30-year-old dance teacher, who estimates that fries still constitute 90 percent of her meals. In the last 15 years, the only addition to Jenna's diet has been pancakes, which she says took more than a year to work up the courage to taste. When she tried an orange for the first time at age 18, she immediately threw up.
But Jenna doesn't restrict her diet because she loves fried potatoes—in truth, she doesn't enjoy them at all. Jenna suffers from an unusual eating sensitivity, which has compelled her to eat almost nothing but French fries, cheese pizza, and spaghetti ever since she graduated from Gerber baby food as a toddler.
Over the past few years, researchers have been struggling to explain the origins and causes of the condition, which is sometimes called extreme picky eating, food neophobia, or Selective Eating Disorder (SED). Some psychiatrists attribute it to anxiety around past traumatic experiences such as choking on a food with a particular texture. Others suggest it could stem from an ingrained phobia of trying unfamiliar things, or liken it to the extreme sensitivity to textures and smells that coincides with autism or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Because the condition often straddles the line between mental and food-related syndromes, however, it's difficult to define and, as a result, even harder to treat. Extreme selective eating falls so under the radar that many health professionals are unaware of its life-altering social and medical effects. Almost all the selective eaters interviewed by The Daily Beast mentioned that their doctors had never heard of picky eating or its treatments.
But health consequences of SED can pose serious dangers. Dr. Sondra Kronberg, a clinical nutrition therapist and the spokeswoman for the National Eating Disorders Association, says "nutritional effects of extreme selective eating would be dehydration, malnutrition, bone loss, hormonal imbalance." The more extreme risks range from cardiac problems to stunted growth and a diminished immune system. While some picky eaters can get enough nutrients from their diets and supplements, it's possible that a lifetime of greasy, fatty foods can have consequences. Lesa Thieroff, a retired accountant, recently was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, which she was told was a direct result of the lack of nutrition in her limited diet. "In the past I might have remained adamant that my minimal eating selections were of no consequence to my health," she says, admitting that her eating habits have actually caused dire issues as she has aged.
According to psychiatrist Angela Guarda, director of the Johns Hopkins Eating Disorder Program, while picky eating is commonly associated with children, a handful don't outgrow it once they hit adolescence. French fries, PB&J sandwiches and other "kid" foods often make up their primary staples, while fruits and vegetables are almost always seen as inedible. As much as they might want to expand their diets, just the smell of a new food can trigger a gag reflex in extreme cases. Guarda thinks the restriction to comfort foods might be found in our evolutionary history, and for some reason those affected with SED don't outgrow the preferences given at birth. "It's possible that we have evolved to prefer high- calorie foods and to avoid bitter foods or sour foods in infancy because it's protective to do so," she says, explaining that high-calorie foods are used as a survival method, to prepare for times of famine. Bitter foods, like vegetables, are a taste that's acquired later on to prevent babies from eating potentially poisonous things.
A few recent extreme cases in the news have shed a little light on selective eating: one British teen collapsed at work and was hospitalized for anemia after only eating chicken nuggets since she was 2 years old. A month later, a woman made headlines after a story about her cheese pizza-only diet appeared in a British tabloid.
While media exposure can help undiagnosed sufferers and unaware medical professionals, those with SED find they often are portrayed as weird or childish. In 2010, law student Amber Scott appeared on Freaky Eaters, the TLC show about Americans with strange eating habits (her staple food is French fries). What she thought would be a way to spread awareness turned into "fix the freak," she says. "They were out for ratings and not for assisting me." Ironically, her participation did assist someone: Jenna, who was watching the show from her living room in Toronto. Until Freaky Eaters, she had no idea there were others with her dietary problems; she cried when she realized she wasn't alone. "It was so nice to know that there are other people with this same problem."
And there are more people than anyone predicted. In 2010, psychologist Nancy Zucker and her team at the Duke Center for Eating Disorders launched the first large-scale study of adult selective eaters through an online survey. Zucker says she expected to get a couple hundred responses, but 18,000 people have since participated. She hopes the industry can use the center's future findings to create a way of categorizing people with food restrictions that impair health and functionality, but don't necessarily entail the goal of weight loss. "It may be that we have a broad selective eating umbrella and then we can describe people based on genetic or taste variations to try to get different tailored interventions," Zucker says. "I wouldn't say you could go so far as to snap them into food adventurer, but I would say that you can make a picky eater into someone who's food-curious."
Until extreme picky eating is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, funding, awareness, and treatment are scarce. With possible upcoming additions to the DSM-V, along with the Duke study and recent media attention, the National Eating Disorders Association's Dr. Kronberg says, change may not be far off. Widespread awareness could pave the way for acceptance and, most important, medical research—just as there is for those with hearing impairments or color blindness. "This is going to be the start of recognizing that just as people hear things differently and people see things differently, people also taste things differently," Kronberg says.
Kristen (not her real name), a graduate student in Oregon, brought her extremely selective 8-year-old daughter to a variety of doctors, but was told it was a phase she'd grow out of. After a meltdown at a Thai restaurant, however, Kristen decided to take matters into her own hands. First she fed the child plain Asian noodles, then those plain noodles ordered from a Chinese restaurant. Then they went to the restaurant for the noodles, and finally, visited another Asian restaurant and got noodles with a few added spices. Kristen inadvertently experimented with the same tactic doctors are trying, and she thinks it might be working. (Potatoes are next.) Psychologist Peter Girolami, the clinical director of the Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, uses similar "desensitization tactics" for the kids he sees—with an 87 percent success rate. "It may take some time, but if you can get [the new food] in, next time they'll look at it a little differently," he says.
For kids, not being able to eat cake at a birthday party means they might be too embarrassed to attend. But as they grow older, a limited diet can have life-altering consequences. They can't "just try it," as many say they're pressured to do. ("That's like telling an individual with Parkinson's disease that they could stop shaking if they just tried to hold themselves still," Amber Scott says.) In a culture that revolves around food, everyday activities such as dates, business dinners and weddings are stressful for picky eaters, who say they often make up excuses to refrain from eating and to avoid uncomfortable questions.
For Bob Krause, the consequences of picky eating came in the form of broken marriages, his decision to leave the Navy, and—in an attempt to avoid business dinners and potlucks—becoming self-employed. Until he was 53, Krause says, he truly believed he was the only person in the world with such unusual habits. In 2003, he launched an awareness-raising website called Picky Eating Adults, which quickly became a forum for thousands of selective eaters to swap advice, dietary habits and coping methods.
"Anyone tell their kids that they are 'allergic to vegetables' so they don't ask questions when mommy isn't eating them?" one woman asked on the Picky Eaters Association group on Facebook. With limited information available about the disorder, members, many of whom are only now discovering that they're not alone in their inability to eat, turn to each other for advice. One woman posted a survey asking: "Does anyone else in your family have picky eating issues?" Until the medical world takes notice, people like her may only find answers from the hidden thousands who suffer privately with SED.

I would like to inform you of MetaModel version 3.0, an open source data access framework for Java which was released this Monday (the 9th of July). It is developed and maintained by Human Inference (NL) and Xebia India, and used in a number of projects already.
MetaModel is different than other data access frameworks in that:
- It spans many different kinds of datastores: Relational databases, NoSQL stores, text file formats, Excel spreadsheets, MS Access and other data formats.
- MetaModel is heavily inspired by SQL and LINQ. It offers a type safe way of querying and updating your data.
- It is not an ORM. With MetaModel you're not doing any domain model mapping. You're given the full power of the physical data model, but without having to deal with the physical data exchange intricacies.
- MetaModel includes it's own query engine which supports SQL-like queries for all of the datastore technologies mentioned above. When possible, the queries will be executed in the datastores themselves (eg. relational and NoSQL databases), but when not possible, MetaModel provides a streaming framework for filtering and postprocessing raw data in the queried format.
- These features makes MetaModel ideal for tools that need to work on multiple models and multiple datastores. For instance Data Management tools, code/model generation tools and more.
- Multiple optimizations and safe-guarding principles has been added to allow all datastores to work well. For instance:
- Software Transactional Memory (STM) principles have been added to prevent race conditions when updating non-transactional datastores (like CSV files and Excel spreadsheets)
- Optimal use of Prepared Statements and batch processing has been applied in the JDBC module.
- An optimal fetch size (to minimize buffering) for JDBC databases is calculated based on metadata about the queried column data types.
- The concept of "composite�? datastores allow you to compose queries that span multiple datastores, eg. a database and a spreadsheet, or multiple files/databases in combination.
As of version 3, MetaModel supports the full set of CRUD operations, whereas it was previously a read-only framework. Another big item in version 3 is the support for Java Collections and POJOs. These are a great help for eg. unittesting and user-driven tests of workflows etc.
There's a full overview of the changes in v. 3 here:
The lead developer of the project, Kasper Sørensen, also posted a nice blog entry as an introduction to everyone new to MetaModel:
We hope you will mention this significant release in the TSS news stream. On behalf of all developers involved in the release, we thank you in advance.

I decided to conduct a bit of an experiment and just have fun researching some of the inhabitants of the lovely Rose Hill Cemetery which I posted about on my Graveyard Rabbit blog last week. I wanted to see how much I could dig up on these individuals just using the resources available to me online.
Since I can't afford to order any records right now, and since holidays have me too busy to get out to the library, these research results should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, I am amazed at what I was able to dig up with some good online resources and a few hours.
My first subject was little Walter Holt:
I was unable to find out anything directly about Walter (I need to run to the California Genealogical Society or the Pleasant Hill Library Genealogy Section to see if there is information on his death and burial). But I was able to find out A LOT about his family, and how the course of their lives played out.
The Holt Family
I began by locating the family in the 1900-1920 census enumerations in Woodland, Yolo, California, using the names of the parents from Walter's grave marker. The 1900 census shows three Isaac Holts residing in California, and only one with a wife named Julia, to whom he had been married 27 years. In 1900, the couple is enumerated with daughter Grace, born February 1880 in California.
In both the 1900 and 1910 censuses, Julia states that she has two children alive out of four children birthed. Research in Woodland newspapers (detailed below) indicates that along with Grace, Isaac and Julia's other surviving child was Arthur Edward Holt. Thus the family structure (including information detailed below) is something like this:
Isaac Henry Holt (b. Abt. 1852) m. Julia Canify(1) (b. Abt. 1854)
I. Walter L. Holt b. Abt. April 1873, probably California
II. Arthur Edward Holt b. Abt. 1875, California
III. Grace Mays Holt b. Abt. 1880, California
IV. UKNOWN Holt b. UNK, UNKNOWN location
East Coasters Gone West
According to her obituary(1), Walter's mother Julia (Canify) Holt married Isaac Henry Holt in New Haven, Connecticut in 1872. The couple (she from New York, he from Massachusetts) moved out west to Martinez, Contra Costa, California in 1874. (This information ties the couple back to Contra Costa county where Walter was buried.)
I am still unable to locate the family anywhere in California for the 1880 Census, despite the fact that the couple and at least two of their children should be present at least somewhere in California at the time. Searches in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington also came up empty.
We know that Walter was buried in 1882 in Rose Hill, but that area is located outside of Antioch, which is about 20 miles east of Martinez (the community Julia's obituary mentions as their residence from 1874 until 1886). The father, Isaac, is registered to vote in Contra Costa in 1884(2), but it is unclear where exactly in the county they were residing at that time. Therefore, we can tie the family to California at the time of Walter's death, and we can even point to their residence in Contra Costa, but I cannot confirm the family's residence via the 1880 census, nor can I currently find any direct information on Walter himself (at least online).
Moving On Up
Again according to her obituary(1), Julia Holt and her family moved north to Woodland, Yolo, California in 1886. We find them there, residents of #306 Cross Street, Woodland, California in the 1900-1920 censuses.
At this point information on the family is interestingly easy to find thanks to the small town paper The Woodland Daily Democrat. One of the highlights includes an article I had actually indexed on my website, which concerned the son Arthur shooting his sister Grace in the foot(3):
Last night about twilight, Arthur Holt, who lives with his parents on Cross street, near Cleveland, shot his sister in the right ankle with a No. 22 Ballard rifle. Both claim that the shooting was accidental. The little girl suffered very much from the hurt. Dr. Beebe was called, but did not remove the ball, as it had entered near the ankle joint, and he thought it best to allow it to remain a day or two.
Arthur Holt is about sixteen years of age, and enjoys a very unenviable reputation. The neighbors describe him as being the worst boy that Woodland has ever had the pleasure of raising. The shooting occurred in this way, according to the statement of one of the neighbors, who seems to think it was not altogether accidental:
Mrs. Holt had sent the boy on an errand, and he took the gun with him. As he remained away much longer than was necessary, the mother sent her little girl to find him. She is about ten years old. She met him on Cleveland street near Clanton's corner, and asked him why he had been gone so long. He commenced cursing and said it was none of her business. They walked along together, she expostulating with him and he abusing her, when the gun was suddenly discharged. The little girl screamed, and Mr. and Mrs. Clanton ran out to see what had happened. The little girl was lying in the street, and said she was shot. The boy said, "Oh, for God's sake shut up your crying. You are not hurt. It would not go through your shoe." Nevertheless, she was hurt and the blood was flowing freely from the wound. The little girl was taken to ther home, and Dr. Beebe called. Both claim the shooting to be accidental.
Arthur and Grace
Apparently Arthur eventually grew out of his more malicious phases, as by 1895 he was being commended for his work as a driver with the local volunteer fire department(4). He moved from Woodland about 1898(5), and eventually settled in Oakland, California. He married first Elizabeth Dowell (date unknown) from whom he was divorced in 1904(6). He eventually married Margurite UNKNOWN about 1906(7), with whom he resided in Oakland, Alameda, California. Arthur has not been identified in the SSDI, nor in the California Death Index (this index does not begin listing deaths until 1940). Arthur was mentioned as alive at the time of his father's death in 1932(8). No descendants have been identified from either of Arthur's marriages.
Grace married Johann Christian "Joe" Hedeman in 1907(9). Her husband was the son of C. J. Hedemann, a notable immigrant from Denmark who, among other things, served as Danish consul in Hawaii. Grace is found in the 1910 and
1930 US Federal Census in Honolulu, Hawaii(10). The couple had at least one child, Mildred(11). Grace's date of death has not been identified.
Julia and Isaac
Julia Holt died 03 June 1929 and had an extensive write-up in the Woodland paper(1). According to her obituary, she was buried in the Woodland cemetery.
Isaac Henry Holt died on 29 June 1932 in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he was residing with his daughter, Grace(8). There was no mention about his place of burial in the obituary:
Isaac H. Holt, retired brick mason, who was one of the pioneer residents of Woodland, died in Honolulu June 29th at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Grace Holt Hedeman.
News of his death came in a brief message from Mrs. Hedeman. No particulars were given in the letter.
During his residence in Woodland, Holt lived at 320 Cross Street. His wife died years ago and three years ago he left for Honolulu, where he has since resided with his daughter, Mrs. Hedeman.
Fireplaces and chimneys in many of the older residences in Woodland were constructed by Mr. Holt, who was regarded as an expert in his line.
He was a member of Woodland lodge No. 156, F. and A. M.
The only survivors are his daughter, Mrs. Hedeman, and a son, Arthur E. Holt of Oakland.
Final Notes on Walter
There remains some investigative work to be done regarding Walter himself and establishing the residence of the Holt family at the time of his death and burial. There are a few publications of Contra Costa death notices and burial records which need to be checked for information on Walter. I am hopeful that the identity of the other unknown Holt child may also be obtained by this library research, assuming the child (or young adult) died in this area.
Until then, I am pretty amazed at what great information was found on the family thanks to coverage of their lives through their local paper. I am a HUGE proponent of newspaper research, and I think this research experience is indicative of how newspapers can fill in so much in a research history.

Sociologist Wolfgang Sofsky meditates on greed which, he maintains, contrary to popular opinion does not rule the world. If anything, it's parsimony. "Although most preachers of the regulated 'common good' steer clear these days of the crude, mostly anti-Semitic image of gold-grabbing spindly fingers and eyes glinting hungrily at the prospect of money, the overwhelming majority of people think of capitalism as a system of greed. In fact its motor is not personal lucre but fear of economic death, and the compulsion to accumulate capital. Its historical rise was abetted not so much by greed than by tightfistedness. Profits were invested back into the business, costs and wages pinched. Luxury was regarded with suspicion by the pious citizen and the solid businessman would never dream of touching his capital or interest. Compound interest was the limit."

Dirk Pilz left Berlin's Gorki Theater weak kneed and deeply moved, after watching a compact version of Christoph Schlingensief's "Church of fear before the fear in me": "As things stand" it is called, and it deals with Schlingensief, his cancer and his fear. This evening could not have been anything other than an interim report. The way things stand has changed and the outlook is pretty shit,' he says, fighting back the tears. 'On my gravestone I want the words: Auf Widersehen! I can't think of a better threat.'"

Peter Hagmann talks to the legendary pianist and teacher, Peter Feuchtwanger, whose students include Martha Argerich and Shura Cherkassky: "I can say that I have seldom met anyone who uses their body properly. One of the few exceptions was â Clara Haskil. She was completely bent over with sclerosis, more or less disabled. But the way she used her arms and hands, her fingers, it all confirmed my own findings. The drooping wrists, the fingers steering everything, the absolute lightness, musically too, that was my ideal. When she was in London, she came to practise with me. That's when it hit me: that's how you play the piano. The inner calm, no preparation in advance. Starting just with the breath, preparing mentally but never physically."
Christoph Egger visited the Molodist film festival in Kiev which was not particularly successful, but it did screen some very disquieting documentary films from the 1930s. For example the portrait series "Doli â Destinies", in which eye witnesses tell of their terrible experiences. "An old woman tells the the story of a young mother who saw her neighbours cooking bits of a small child in the frying pan and subsequently founds items of clothing belonging to the missing girl in their garden. Or the story of a woman who, together with her two daughters, killed her husband and ate him. She was later devoured by her daughters, and finally one sibling ate the other and promptly died."

Die Welt features an essay, originally published in the Russian paper Vedemosti, by the former Yukos boss, Mikhail Khordokovsky, who is currently imprisoned in Siberia. He discusses the global leftwards shift which, with the onset of the finance crisis, is replacing the era of Thatcherism. Among other things he predicts a return to values such as solidarity and calls for a new form of international cooperation. "The regulating systems have to be brought into line with the demands of the global system and their key subjects into equilibrium. The national governments will be obliged to coordinate their movements much more closely, essentially laying the foundations for a 'global economic government'."
Frankfurter Rundschau 18.11.2008
The poet Olga Martynova writes about Alexandr Solzhenitsyn and Varlam Shalamov and recounts a memorable decision that Georgi Vladimov had to make as editor of the periodical Novyi Mir. He could only publish one text about the Gulag, and had to decide between Solzhenitsyn's "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" or Shalamov's "Tales from Kolyma": "'You see' Tvardovski admitted, 'Shalamov might be the better writer. But' â and here the hidden mechanisms started to kick in - 'Solzhenitsyn's novel can be published in one go. Even if the censors tear it to bits, it will at least remain whole as a work. But with Shalamov's short stories, the censors would simply remove the best ones and the rest would perish.' And so it was ultimately down to censorship that Alexander Solzhenitsyn won the Nobel prize, went into exile, and taught mankind, and the Russian people in particular, 'not to live a lie'. While Shalamov, who was not allowed to publish a single paragraph in Russia during his lifetime, died bitter, sick and lonely in 1982." Read our feature by Olga Martynova: "The source we drink from".
Berliner Zeitung 18.11.2008
Ignored by the world's media, Ukrainians are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the "Holodomor", the famine caused by Stalin's collectivisation programme which left millions of Ukrainians dead. Dimitri Medvedev did not attend the ceremony, because he refuses to recognise the term 'genocide'. He might be right here, according to Christian Esch, but that's is not the point: "Why, if Kiev should hold its tongue, it is all right for the Kremlin to bandy about the word 'genocide'? Medvedev was extremely quick to describe the actions of the Georgians in South Ossetia as genocide... And as late as September, Medvedev referred to the so-called genocide before representatives in the Duma - a month after the Russian public prosecutor's office had starkly reduced the body count. Medvedev's demand for careful use of words applies to everyone but himself."
Die Tageszeitung 20.11.2008
The paper reports on a copyright dispute being fought in Germany's highest court by the electronic pioneers Kraftwerk, who were suing German rap producer Moses Pelham for sampling two bars of their music for a rhythm track. Tobias Rapp comments on the cultural issue underlying the case, asking who the artistic influence of a band belongs to â the band itself or the person who is influenced? "Without wanting to deny Kraftwerk the rights to their music â the irony of this court case is that the band would not be here today if their music had not spent the last 25 years floating through the legal grey areas and turning the old into new."

Q: Are metal roofs noisy?
A: No, the stone coated steel design deadens the sound of the rain and even hail unlike a non-stone coated metal roof.
Q: Is a metal roof hotter in the summer and colder in the winter?
A: No, many customers report a reduction in energy costs during summer and winter months. Also, a DECRA roof can be installed over an existing roof, providing additional insulation from temperature extremes.
Q: Is a metal roof dangerous in weather with lightning?
A: No, metal roofing is both an electrical conductor, and a noncombustible material.
Q: Can I walk on my DECRA roof?
A: Absolutely, DECRA roofs are made of steel and designed to withstand the weight of people walking on them.
Q: Can I get a discount on my homeowners insurance?
A: You may, DECRA has a Class 4 hail rating - the highest rating UL offers. In many states, the Class 4 rating can earn a discount on homeowners insurance. Just ask your local agent for details in your state.
Q: How do DECRA roofs withstand an earthquake?
A: Very well. A metal roof usually weighs half as much as a typical composition shingle roof. Why is that beneficial during an earthquake? A full discussion is available in our case study covering the NextGen Home 2009. (link to NextGen Home 2009 case study)
Q: Is a metal roof hotter in the summer and colder in the winter?
A: No. Many customers report a reduction in energy costs during summer and winter months. Also, a DECRA roof can be installed over an existing roof, which creates even more insulation from temperature extremes.
Q: Is a DECRA Roofing System more expensive?
A DECRA roof offers more value for your money. With a minimum 50 year life expectancy, you would have to purchase and install 2-1/2 shingle roofs for the cost of one DECRA roof. Like most products you buy, "you get what you pay for." A DECRA roof offers more for your money. Itís no bargain to put two roofs on your house because the first one was "cheaper" and subsequently failed. A DECRA roof can last a lifetime. DECRA is also quite durable because the aluminum-zinc alloy coated steel enhances the superior weathering and corrosion resistance of each roofing panel.
Q: Is a DECRA Roofing System warranted?
A: The best in the industry. DECRA Roofing Systems carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty including 120 mph winds, hail penetration for any size hail and manufacturing defects - including excessive granule loss. In addition, material and labor are covered for the first 20 years after that time, material is covered the remaining warranty period.
Q: What is the best reason to buy a DECRA Roofing System?
A: Well, we've given quite a few reasons, but the best reason is our success in the industry. As the original stone coated steel manufacturer, our products have been proven around the world in more than 120 countries since 1957. (link to Roofing Contractor Magazine article)
Q: Is water run-off from a metal roof potable?
A: Yes, the water run-off from our products meets the World Health Organization Standards testing. However, rainwater is variable across regions; atmospheric conditions should be considered in actual use. Water collected during the first or second rain fall after extended dry periods can be contaminated by dirt accumulation.
Q: Do you use a non-oiled granule?
A: We use only 3M granules and they do have a small amount of mineral oil on them. However, the miniscule amount does not interfere with the adhesion of our basecoat, and does not affect water run-off.
Q: Does granule size matter in the longevity of the product?
A: Deterioration of the coating takes place when there is exposed, uncovered basecoat; granule size- smaller or larger- does not ensure better coverage.
Q: Is a metal roof only for commercial buildings?
A: No, DECRA's product profiles and attractive ceramic stone granules do not resemble the standing seam roofs of the commercial industry; they add value and curb appeal to any roofing installation.
Q: Why is DECRA the "original stone coated steel roofing product"?
A: DECRA has a long history and is the original stone coated steel product developed by L.J. Fisher in 1957.

The Happy Dance: Getting Hooked on Genealogy, Part 3
"The Happy Dance. The Joy of Genealogy. Almost everyone has experienced it. Tell us about the first time, or the last time, or the best time. What event, what document, what special find has caused you to stand up and cheer, to go crazy with joy?"
I've had many occasions to do the genealogy happy dance in the short time I've been doing genealogy. They have ranged from quiet triumph to sheer ecstasy and a glow that has lasted over several days. If genealogy is an addiction like drugs, then someone has been passing me the hard stuff.
As the subject of this post I have chosen the first time I did that dance (actually, the first several times – it was an exciting week), and this actually dovetails with Part III of my series of posts on "Getting Hooked on Genealogy."
Taking my cue from the amount of information I was able to turn up just by googling Brinlees, I tried to see what I could find on the names mentioned in Cousin Eunice's History of the Floyd Family. By combining key phrases, place name, etc. with personal names, I was able to find quite a lot to extend the known lines into some families that already had been the subject of serious research as well as biographies of some of my ancestors who were Cumberland Presbyterian ministers. This was all extremely interesting and intriguing, but I cannot say that it inspired me to do the Happy Dance. I was simply finding research that had already been done (which is, of course, an important component of genealogical research, but … not as exciting as original research).
But I began to notice something. All of this information was on my mother's mother's family. When I looked for information on my mother's father's family, there was only one piece of information: a partial name for his father (my great-grandfather) - ? Perrin Moore. His first name was not even known. There was something sad and troubling about this. I realized that I believe that everyone deserves to be remembered and that it bothered me that this was all that was remembered of Perrin Moore.
This was still at the very beginning of my research, when everything I knew about genealogy could be fit into a thimble with room to spare. It would be a year before I subscribed to Ancestry and I didn't know about Heritage Quest; I was just becoming aware of Rootsweb, GenWeb, and genealogy discussion boards and was still relying mostly on Google.
And Google came through for me again. I don't remember what the exact combination of terms was, but it led me to a GenWeb site, Jim Wheat's Dallas County Texas Archives, which contained a transcription of the death certificate for Harlston Perrin Moore, who had died on 12 December 1921 in Lancaster, Dallas County, Texas. My mother's family had come from this part of Dallas County. There was a rush as the realization hit me: This was "my guy." And the death certificate provided the names of his parents, Spencer Moore and Emily Tarrant. For the first time, I jumped out of my chair and pumped my fists in triumph.
The euphoria lasted for about a week, during which time ignorance of research resources and techniques kept me at a standstill, but when I finally figured out how to use that little search box on the genealogy discussion boards (Moore may be an awfully common name, but Harlston and Perrin are not), I found two other researchers who were interested in that family. Second Happy Dance! ("Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!") They had his siblings and the location of the family (South Carolina – suddenly I remembered a long-forgotten statement made by my mother, "Our people are from the Carolinas"), but they did not know his mother's maiden name. Because I did know, I had something to contribute! I would write to them and … then I noticed that the posts were dated around 2000-2001. Would their e-mail addresses still be any good? With trepidation I wrote to them. I received a reply from my third cousin Jo Ann the next morning – she was as excited as I was – and from Kim, who does research on Anderson County SC families – a few days later. Our exchange of correspondence was fast and furious, and from that point there was no turning back.
Finding Harlston Perrin Moore led to the first Happy Dance, and finding his family and fellow researchers made me realize that the first discovery was not a fluke, that I had only scratched the surface of easily available resources for family research, and that it is possible to use these resources to find out an astounding amount of information on our ancestors. This was the point at which I was well and truly hooked.

It made me excited just to read about your happy dance occasion. I agree with all you said--it's wonderful, Greta! The connections, the responses, the support---are just icing on the cake! Thanks for a great story!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Becky. I had never before experienced anything like the "excitement of the find" that I found in genealogy. It's just so much fun getting to "play detective"!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your find! Thanks for sharing your story & I agree, it's sad when all we can find is a partial name - as if no one else remembered the entire name of our ancestors.ReplyDelete
I really empathize with your comment about feeling that it wasn't right for someone to be forgotten. I almost posted a similar story for my Happy Dance.ReplyDelete
My very first research line over a decade ago was for a Leger ancestor for which I had family lore (orphaned early in life, only one child, died by drowning) and over many years his life remained a brickwall. I left it aside and developed all my other lines, but about 6 months ago a newspaper index came online with new info and I was finally able to confirm the story.
Oh happy day!
Evelyn in Montreal
Thank you for your comments. I see you are a North Texan. So am I (I live in Northern Virginia, but my parents are from there and I went to high school there).
I am excited that you have an orphan story to tell because the theme of the Carnival of Genealogy I will be hosting in October is Orphaned and Orphans - the subject will be ancestors who were orphans or ancestors (collateral lines) died young, never had children, etc. and therefore have no one to research and write about them - unless we do it. Your story will be great. I love researching my "orphan" ancestors.

Starting the school year with confidence
August 1, 2016
By: Lisa M. Smith
Backpacks stuffed with fresh school supplies sit by the door. A snazzy new lunchbox waits to be packed. A carefully selected outfit hangs in the closet. Ready, set, go … the new school year is about to start.
The anticipation and excitement of a new year and, perhaps, a new school, carries some anxiety for students of all ages, and, let's face it, parents, too.
Open communication with your children about their concerns will go a long way toward preparing them for the next step and easing their fears.
Give your kids confidence to start the new school year with these five tips from Bradley Gerber, clinical psychologist at Sentara RMH Medical Center:
- Forge friendships. A common concern among students of all ages is whether they will fit in. Peers become more and more important as kids get older – and they also influence decisions kids will make. Encourage children to gravitate toward a peer group you feel will create the best environment for them.
- Evaluate expectations. The transition to middle school or high school can be unnerving as students navigate new routines and expectations. Provide your student with as much information as you can about the school and be sure the student has toured it. The more information and accurate knowledge children have, the less anxious they will feel.
- Smooth teacher anxiety. When class lists come out and texts fly! Kids may be worried about their new teacher and whether he or she is the right fit. Find out from your child what about the teacher they are worried about. If you feel it's a legitimate reason that the teacher may not be a good match for your child, schedule a time to talk to the teacher to get some perspective. Approach it as a collaboration and not an inquisition. The teacher will respond better.
- Ease "new kid" worries. Families who have moved to a new town over the summer face a fresh start in every aspect of their lives. Being the "new kid" isn't easy. Find out as much as possible about the new school for your student. Look online at the school website and even social media channels for the school. Visit the school as soon as you can and be sure to attend back-to-school events so your children can meet classmates before they start school.
- Calm parent angst. Letting go of your child after a fun summer or starting a new stage, such as entering kindergarten or high school, can weigh heavily on a parent's heart. This is normal! Every change has the potential to bring a sense of grief that a stage is over and a new phase is starting. Create a way to keep track of your thoughts and feelings. Devising a system to save pictures and accomplishment of your child at each stage can help the transition. Each new start offers exciting possibilities, too, for parents, as well as students.

Arizona Air National Guard swept up in fraud scam
PHOENIXNearly two dozen current and former members of the Arizona Air National Guard responsible for remotely operating drones to support troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have been indicted on charges including theft and money laundering in a $1.4 million scam to defraud the federal government, authorities announced Monday.
The eight officers and 13 enlisted men and women, including the colonel and former commander of the 214 Reconnaissance Group, falsified their records and used fake home addresses in order to receive money meant for those traveling outside of their home regions for duty assignments, Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne said.
Between November 2007 and September 2010, authorities said some of the defendants took home salaries that were up to five times the amount they should have been receiving.
Some of the suspects defrauded the government of more than $100,000 each, Horne said.
"In this case, all of these people lived in Tucson and put down fraudulent homes of record in other states" to qualify for the extra pay, Horne added.
The indictment announced Monday comes after an 18-month investigation by state and federal agencies.
Only eight of those charged remain members of the National Guard, said Brig. Gen. Michael T. McGuire, adjutant general of the Arizona National Guard.
"I assure you we take these allegations very seriously," McGuire said. "The Arizona Air National Guard remains ready and capable."
He declined to discuss specifics of the case, citing the ongoing investigation.
The suspects haven't been arrested, but instead were sent summons to appear in court for arraignment Friday in Tucson. The indictment will be unsealed then.
The suspects worked out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson and were part of an elite military unit tasked with flying drones over Iraq and Afghanistan aimed at providing vital information to troops on the ground.
The charges include conspiracy, conducting an illegal enterprise, fraud, theft and money laundering. Authorities said, if convicted, some of the defendants could be sentenced to up to 12.5 years in prison with the commander facing more serious charges for using his position of power to help facilitate the scam.

By a two-to-one vote, a federal appeals court panel Tuesday denied WND's request for a jury trial to determine whether or not an Esquire magazine article that ridiculed the Internet publisher and suppressed sales of a book should be protected by the First Amendment.
"It's dishonest," said WND's attorney, Larry Klayman, of the decision. "This is an issue for the jury to decide. They took it away from the jury, and that's inappropriate."
Advertisement - story continues below
Klayman argued that there is doubt as to whether or not a May 18, 2011, article on Esquire's website by Executive Editor Mark Warren would be regarded by a reasonable person as satire, as Esquire and its publisher, Hearst, claim.
The attorney, founder of the political advocacy group Freedom Watch, said he will file a petition for rehearing the 2-1 decision by the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia before the full court.
Warren's article stated falsely that the WND Books exposé "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible To Be President" by Jerome Corsi had been recalled and repudiated by publisher WND Books and its CEO, Joseph Farah.
Support WND's "Esquire Justice Fund" to take action against Esquire for its malicious attack on Jerome Corsi's book "Where's the Birth Certificate?"
Advertisement - story continues below
WND's $250 million lawsuit contends the article is not protected by the First Amendment, because its publication caused real damage by defaming WND and suppressing book sales. Many potential book buyers and media members clearly believed the article was a news story reporting the demise of the book, not a work of satire.
WND was appealing a decision in June 2012 by Judge Rosemary Collyer of the U.S. District Court in D.C. to grant Esquire's motion to dismiss the case based on D.C.'s anti-SLAPP law, which protects media and public figures from frivolous lawsuits regarding their First Amendment rights.
Klayman contends, citing precedent, the case cannot be tossed out by the anti-SLAPP law, because only a jury can decide whether or not a particular article would be regarded as satire by a reasonable person.
"In a defamation case, when a statement at issue could reasonably be interpreted in different ways, which the judges seemed to concede – the case must go to a jury," he told WND in an interview Tuesday.
Klayman argued the Esquire article "rings true," unlike the famous Jerry Falwell case against porn publisher Larry Flynt, whose magazine published a parody ad featuring a fictional interview with the Baptist preacher that was so outlandish, the average reader would recognize it wasn't meant to be a statement of fact. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in 1988 that the ad was protected speech under the First Amendment's guarantee.
Advertisement - story continues below
The majority in the Esquire ruling Tuesday concluded the article about WND's book was protected political speech, but Klayman contends a competitor was "trying to destroy the commercial success of a book."
That means, he argued, it was false advertising.
The majority of Judges Judith W. Rogers and Janice Rogers Brown wrote: "Because the reasonable reader could not, in context, understand Esquire's blog post to be conveying "real news" – that is, actual facts about Farah and Corsi – the blog post was not actionable defamation."
Senior circuit Judge Stephen F. Judge Williams decided in WND's favor, but he did not issue a written opinion.
Advertisement - story continues below
The majority further argued "it is the nature of satire that not everyone 'gets it' immediately," citing the example of Daniel Defoe's "The Shortest Way with the Dissenters," an anonymous satirical pamphlet against religious persecution that initially was "welcomed by the church establishment Defoe sought to ridicule."
Rogers and Rogers Brown contended that the article's context, along with specific elements of substance and style, would "convince the reasonable reader that the blog post was satirical."
But Klayman argued it's up to a jury to decide whether or not that would be the conclusion of a "reasonable reader."
He points to the fact that when the article was published, news organizations immediately began contacting Farah for confirmation of the Esquire story, and buyers of the book began requesting refunds.
When the lawsuit was filed, Farah said, "We are reacting to one of the most egregious abuses of freedom of the press that I have ever witnessed in my 30-plus year career in journalism."
The legal action was being taken, Farah added, "not because we desire to restrict First Amendment-guaranteed protections, but because we want to police them and guard them."
Toxic subject
Esquire claims in its defense that it "satirized the unwavering stance of a group at the center of the national public controversy over President Obama's birthplace and his legitimacy as President."
The defendants – Hearst, Esquire and Warren – call the WND lawsuit an "attempt to punish Esquire for its political speech ridiculing [WND Books, WND.com, Corsi and Farah] for their own political views."
Klayman said the federal appeals court judges likely were influenced by the fact that the book at the center of the case was about the toxic political issue of Obama's eligibility for office.
But Klayman pointed out the case had nothing to do with whether or not Obama is eligible, even though District Court Judge Collyer made a ruling that Obama is a "natural born citizen."
"The case is about holding in false light a competitor," said Klayman. "It's not an argument about whether or not Obama is eligible for the White House."
Klayman added that in the current political environment, suggesting in any way that Obama might not be eligible would be career suicide for a jurist.
"These judges know that if they make an unpopular decision against the establishment that they will never be able to be promoted to the Supreme Court or any other position they might get through political patronage," he said.
Klayman said decisions like the Esquire ruling reinforce his belief that the country "is in a revolutionary state."
"The courts do not step in to protect the little guy against the powerful establishment interests, like Esquire," he said. "Without protection of the courts, the people are left defenseless."
That's why, he said, a coalition of 30 groups he has organized, called Reclaim America Now, is "waging a peaceful, nonviolent revolution."
"The total system of government is now broken down and the courts don't protect anyone other than the establishment," he said. "They've become rubber stamps for the corrupt establishment."

On this new release through Pulsewith Balthazar creates seperate distinct moods across the four tracks that make up his Midnight City EP.
A taught, swirling pressurised summer house track, 'Midnight City' builds through layers of strumming bass and female vocals to create a fairly straight up but catchy track. It is the loose, echoing feel of the rhythm section that sticks, capturing the hot feeling of the night time urban watershed moment the title references.
'Sons of Guns' is a slower and more foreboding offering - synths pick out melodies that create interference with a slightly labour-intensive bassline whilst the sound of distorted gasps of air punctuate the record, representing the windy deserts of the Westerns that inspire this track. It's a dark and cruel sounding environment, the occasional jangling guitar lines not the kind of thing you expect on a house record.
'Hopefully' is more urban and with a hint of the sleaze of Matthew Dear's gloriously debauched 'You Put A Smell On Me'. It's a thick, chunky track of deep electronic bass and robotic rhythms with a dramatic white noise ghost train peak and it's the tightest track offered up here.
The EP finishes on 'In The Face Of Death', a more ambient track than the others. It's a whirl of clicks and warm pads that builds to a cavernous, hollow sounding bass line that ends the release on a suitably climatic note.
Midnight City is released today through Pulsewith.

Point 1: Human footprints have been found beside dinosaur footprints in the Paluxy riverbed in Texas. This indicates that humans and dinosaurs lived on earth at the same time. But the theory of evolution shows that the first man evolved tens of millions of years after the last dinosaur died.
Point 2: Scientists have never observed the evolution of one species into another species. Every species on earth produces only copies of itself, never a new species.
Point 3: Evolution claims that early species of giraffes had short necks - some longer than others. Individuals with longer necks were able to better reach the leaves on the trees for food. Neck length had survival value, and so all giraffes eventually ended up with long necks. Using this belief, evolution would predict that all species of land animals would end up with long necks. So, evolution is wrong.
Point 4: The current growth rate among human beings is 2% per year. Assume that the yearly growth rate was only 0.2% in the past. [To use a lower value would benefit the Evolution theory, because it would indicate that humans have been on earth for a longer period.] Assuming 5 billion humans today, a 0.2% annual growth rate would mean that there were 112 million on earth when Jesus was born, 2 million in 2000 BCE, 38,000 in 4000 BCE, 700 in 6000 BCE but only 13 humans in 8000 BCE. That checks out with a Genesis view of the earth's history, but not with the theory of evolution which says that homo sapiens have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.
Point 5: S.H. Huse's book "The Collapse of Evolution" talks about many fossils that were believed to be pre-humans, but did not pan out. Heidelberg man, Nebraska man, Piltdown man all were eventually shown to be other than predecessors of homo sapiens.
Point 6: Dr. A.J.E. Cave gave a paper at the International Congress of Zoology in 1958 in which he concluded that a skeleton found in France was not an Neanderthal but was of an elderly human who suffered from arthritis. The implication is that Neanderthals never existed.
Point 7: The Cro-Magnon's brain capacity is at least equal to Homo Sapiens. The implication is that homo-sapiens has not evolved from the Cro-Magnon.
Point 8: If homo-sapiens evolved from extinct proto-humans, then why is it so difficult to find skeletons of these species?
Point 9: Agraptalyte fossils are supposed to be millions of year old index fossils, except that a number of them were found, still alive, in the South Pacific three years ago!
Point 10: If one species were to evolve into another, one would expect that it would do so in many small, incremental steps. Thus, many transition fossils would have been found by now. But, in fact, very few have been discovered.
Point 11: If humans evolved from apes, then one would expect that there would be no apes left on earth; all would have evolved into humans.
Point 12: If our ancestors who lived, say, 80 million years ago were small mammals, then the human genome must be much larger and more complex than the genome of our ancestors, back in the age of the dinosaurs. But William Dembski's book "Intelligent Design" and Phillip Johnson's book "The Wedge of Truth" both explain that there is no possible mechanism by which the genome can increase in complexity; its total information content is fixed. Thus, natural selection can produce microevolution -- small changes with in a species. But, it cannot produce macroevolution -- major changes from one species to another.
Point 13: A group of scientists proved in 1836 that spontaneous generation does not occur. Spontaneous generation or abiogenesis is an "ancient theory holding that certain lower forms of life, especially the insects, reproduced by physicochemical agencies from inorganic substances." 8 i.e. that living matter came from non-living matter. Since this cannot happen, it is impossible for an elementary life form to appear on a lifeless earth. Thus, evolution of the species cannot even get started.
Point 14: Second law of thermodynamics: Henry Morris wrote: "All processes manifest a tendency toward decay and disintegration, with a net increase in what is called the entropy, or state of randomness or disorder, of the system. This is called the Second Law of Thermodynamics." 11 Evolution teaches the opposite: that entropy decreases and complexity and order increases. Evolution is impossible because it violates the universally accepted second law of thermodynamics.
On the Christian Forum where I found this, has long since been locked. I'm posting this, if you want to put points against it, or just want a really good laugh; I sure did.

Point 1: Hoax
Point 2: Wrong.
Point 3: It is most likely that Giraffes have a long neck because of sexual selection as males use their necks to fight one another. This would also explain why the female of the species has a significantly shorter neck. Also, this is not at all what evolution would predict.
Point 4: Statistics? Really? And those statistics are taken out of thin air.
Point 5: Australopethicus Aforensis.
Point 6: So if I proof that a book has no written words in it, that means that all books everywhere are "blank"?
Point 7: Evolution is not about getting bigger, better and smarter. It is about adaptability
Point 8: It is not, but the problem is that creationist close their eyes and ears when they're presented with evidence. And again, Australopethicus Aforensis
Point 9: Extinct and extant does not say anything about whether or not evolution is true. Crocodiles are on earth for millions of years, what's your point?
Point 10: Every human alive is a transitional species, every animal ever is transitioning (evolving) to become another species. Also Basilosaurus, Ambulocetus, Archeopteryx,
Point 11: Nope, we wouldn't. Evolution is not a step by step improvement plan.
Point 12: Incorrect, firstly, information content is not fixed and what we would consider to be more complex doesn't have to be more complex on a cellular or even genetic level.
Point 13: Proving a negative as this is not science, at all. "we couldn't do it, therefor it didn't happen" is not a proper result from any scientific research.
Point 14: Earth is not a closed system, have you ever seen that big glowing ball that is sometimes referred to as the sun?
Ergo, same ole creationist bullshit. Seek ignorance and misunderstanding, label it God and mistery and presto another idiot thinks he knows stuff about evolution.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm sure most or all of these are addressed on Talk Origins.org, which is specifically set up to deal with these kind of assertions.
for example:
#1 - Human - Dinosaur tracks - The Texas Dinosaur/"Man Track" Controversy
#10 - TalkOrigins on transitional fossils
#11 - No, they would have evolved into different kinds of apes, each branch adapting to their ecological niche. Which is exactly what happened. (humans are apes). TalkOrigins: If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes today?
#14 is just stupid, and has been refuted over and over. Thermodynamics, Evolution and Creationism
I'm always bewildered by the "scientific" findings which creationists claim exist. Claims such as the discovery of human footprint fossils in the same rock layer as dinosaur remains or claims I've seen that dinosaurs are only a few thousand years old would rewrite all conventional knowledge concerning the history of Earth, yet I never see the studies which supposedly uncovered these claims cited. I assume creationists believe they're telling the truth, but what are the origins of these false claims? Are the creationists blatantly lying? Are they relying the claims of someone who is lying? Where did these "findings" come from if they are not true?
I sense a higher tendancy among creationists to cite facts without observing their background. If someone makes a claim (however false) that supports creation mythology, it is relyed without being double-checked. A few minutes of research would have shown the person who posted these that they are incorrect.

June 02, 2008
LOS ANGELES - The Riordan Programs completed another successful year on Saturday, May 24th, with the graduation of all its programs - Scholars, Healthcare Management, and Fellows Programs.
The Scholars Program has 30 senior high school students going to many outstanding colleges and universities across the US. Four students were recipients of Bill Gate's Millennium Scholarship award that provides substantial funding to offset the rising prices of college tuition. The underclassmen enrolled in the Scholars Program had the opportunity to apply for free SAT preparation courses provided by Revolution Prep - a new partner of The Riordan Programs. And beginning next year, new partnerships with organizations like LA Alliance for College Ready High Schools and the Inner City Education Foundation will expand the network of participants for our Scholars Program in the coming years.
The Healthcare Management Program enjoyed a fantastic start and finished strong. In completing its first full year, the program featured site visits to Cedars-Sinai, Northridge, St. John's, and the newly built Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center to expose program participants to the nation's best healthcare facilities. Executive speakers, academic and career counseling, Harvard case study discussions, and graduate school mentors are but a few of the many benefits provided this past year.
Participants in the Fellows Program really embraced the notion of "setting the bar" and at the same time, giving back. The 2008 class shattered the previous record of fundraising by collecting over $50K in donations to support scholarships and college admissions activities for participants in the Scholars Program. "As a class, we believed it was our duty to minimize the barriers the younger generation typically face when applying to college. We know the students and their families can definitely use the money, especially given today's economic climate," said Toriana Peete, Class Finance Director.
About the Riordan Programs
Founded in 1987, The Riordan Programs is a pioneering career-based outreach program that motivates high school students, college students and recent college graduates from diverse backgrounds and under-served communities to consider and prepare for careers in management through education, mentorship and professional development. The Riordan Programs has since been recognized as the defining model for such programs. Overall, The Riordan Programs has accomplished many of its goals. The organization expanded its academic and professional network, created more opportunities for its participants, and connected the business community with the leaders of tomorrow.

LUDINGTON, Mich. (AP) - A West Michigan man who authorities say took his two young children to Florida last year without their mother's permission has been sentenced to prison.
The Ludington Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/XCCivw ) Mark McCallum was sentenced Tuesday to 28 months to 15 years in prison.
A Mason County Circuit Court jury earlier convicted him of two charges of parental kidnapping, one for each of his two children who he took to Florida while going through a divorce.
McCallum failed to drop off the then-4- and 2-year-old children with their mother in February 2012. They later were found safe in Key West, Fla.
McCallum defended himself during the trial.
