Wall Street. Madison Avenue. 34th Street. Broadway. Manhattan is so well known that even the names of its streets have become iconic and understood the world over. This long, thin island is only one of New York City's five boroughs, but it's Manhattan that has the concrete canyons and the inimitable skyline; Manhattan that has the world's brightest and most renowned theater district; Manhattan that has Central Park, Rockefeller Center, the Guggenheim Museum, and the World Trade Center site; and Manhattan that comprises iconic neighborhoods like Harlem, the Upper East Side, Times Square, and Greenwich Village.
The rest of New York City has much to see and do, but it's Manhattan that represents the city—and sometimes the entire United States—to the world. You could spend a week on this tiny island and still not see all there is to see. Grab a yellow taxi, hop on the subway, or just start walking, and you're sure to begin to understand just what it is that makes Manhattan, Manhattan.
Manhattan is divided broadly into three sections: Downtown, Midtown, and Uptown. In common parlance locally, to go "Downtown" in Manhattan means to "go south", while going "Uptown" means to "go north".
The districts located south of 14th Street are considered part of Downtown. Midtown, as the name suggests, occupies the approximate middle reach of Manhattan Island, sandwiched between 14th Street and 59th Street / Central Park. Midtown is divided into a number of neighborhoods, often indistinct with considerable overlap between them. The districts located north of 59th Street are considered part of Uptown.
The avenues (e.g., Fifth Avenue, Seventh Avenue) run north-south and are the long, wide streets. The numbered streets (e.g., 14th Street, 42nd Street) run east-west and start at 1st Street (just above Houston Street), running up to 220th Street at the northern end of the island. (Warning: There is one exception to this. Numbered streets are not all parallel to one another in Greenwich Village, which is on the West Side between W. Houston St. and West 14th St. West 4th St. slants to the northwest, crossing higher-numbered streets up to 13th St). For ease in calculation, note that a distance of 20 city blocks (north-to-south, counting numbered streets only, not avenue blocks) is approximately equal to one mile. Going east to west, one mile is very approximately 7 avenues. Note that Park Avenue South and Park Avenue are continuations of 4th Avenue, north of Union Square (17th St.) and 32nd St, respectively; Lexington Avenue is between 3rd and Park Avenues, and can be thought of as a "3½ Avenue". Madison Avenue is between Park and 5th Avenues, and can be thought of as a "4½ Avenue".
Get in
Please see the New York City page for details on how to get to New York City.
By rail
There are three railway stations with access to points outside of New York City. The largest, Pennsylvania Station in Midtown, is served by Amtrak with connections all over the country; by the Long Island Rail Road which serves Long Island; and New Jersey Transit which serves New Jersey. Grand Central Station, an art deco delight, is the home of Metro-North Railroad which connects the city to points in southern New York State and southern Connecticut. Many trains from Grand Central Station also stop at Harlem/125th street, a useful stop for travelers headed for Harlem or other points in Upper Manhattan.
A subway system, PATH, connects some points in downtown and midtown Manhattan with Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark.
By road
Manhattan being an island, access (whether by car, taxi, bus or by foot) has generally to be made by means of either a bridge or a tunnel. A pedestrian can walk into Manhattan over the Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Williamsburg Bridges from Brooklyn, the Queensboro or RFK (formerly Triboro) Bridges from Queens, all the numerous small street bridges from the Bronx, and the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey. Probably the most famous of these is the Brooklyn Bridge. If you're coming from LaGuardia Airport (LGA) by cab, consider asking the driver to take the Queensboro or Williamsburg Bridges into Manhattan if you're going to Midtown or Downtown, respectively, and save yourself the RFK Bridge or Queens-Midtown Tunnel toll.
By plane
While there is no airport in Manhattan (see New York City for details on airports serving the area), there are helicopter and seaplane services into the city. At least two companies provide helicopter services between Manhattan and area airports [1], [2] from helipads on W34th street, E34th Street, and Wall Street. Seaplane services [3] are available to East Hampton from E23rd street during the summer months. Neither are for the faint of pocket - the helicopter service costs $125+ while the seaplane service costs $425 per person. Scheduled Helicopter services are also available to the airport in Bridgeport, CT from Manhattan [4].
By ferry
Passengers from Staten Island usually take the free Staten Island Ferry to get to the Battery at the lower tip of Manhattan. The Battery also houses ferries to Liberty and Ellis Islands and Governors Island. Other ferries transport passengers to and from Brooklyn and parts of New Jersey.
Get around
The best ways to get around Manhattan are on foot, by cab, or by taking the subway or bus. Driving is strongly discouraged; most Manhattanites do not own cars and the infrastructure of the city is designed for people, rather than for automobiles.
When traveling by cab, it is best to ensure that you are using a licensed cab; the easiest way is to ask at the concierge at your hotel to flag down one of the ubiquitous yellow cabs or do so yourself. All licensed cabs are yellow, and no unlicensed (as a taxicab) livery services may be yellow. Cabs which are available have their lights on and do not have their "Off Duty" sign lit. Off duty taxi drivers may choose to drive you if they are going your way, but are under no obligation to pick you up, and cabs which are not lit have customers inside and cannot pick up more customers. Fare for trips within Manhattan is strictly by meter (ask the cabbie to turn the meter on if s/he makes no move to turn it on after you've said where you want to go), plus whatever tip you choose to give (note that it is customary and expected to tip at least 10% to 15% for normal service). For trips to the Outer Boroughs, if toll bridges or tunnels are taken, you are responsible for the tolls in addition to the fare on the meter plus the tip. Do not try to take cabs during shift changes (such as around 4 PM on weekdays), if you are in a rush, because you'll find that they are almost all off duty. Limousines (approximately $30 per hour for in-Manhattan use of a sedan) are an attractive alternative to medallion (yellow) cabs if you know you'll need to be driven around a lot during a short period of time.
Maps of the New York subway system and Manhattan buses, schedules of subway and bus lines, and information about temporary service changes due to construction can be found online [5]. Bus schedules and route maps are also usually posted on poles at bus stops. Note that bus schedules in Manhattan are only approximate, and actual times depend on traffic and other variables.
One alternative way of getting around Manhattan include riding in a horse drawn carriage. Horse drawn carriages around Central Park South offer rides around the park for 15 minutes, half an hour, or one hour. Rates should be posted on the carriage. This can be a romantic or fun way to see the city.
Pedicabs have appeared in New York of late. The city is in the early stages of licensing and enforcing safety regulations for them.
Manhattan is home to many of New York's premier tourist attractions. Following is a selection of the highlights / "must sees" - the remainder will be found within the articles for the various Manhattan districts and neighborhoods.
With constant portrayals in every method of media known, Manhattan's landmarks are known around the world, and seemingly every visitor to the city will make an effort to glimpse these most famous of buildings and monuments. Every neighborhood of Manhattan has local landmarks, and in many cases the neighborhoods themselves are landmarks in their own right; this is just a summary of the very most monumental architecture on the island.
Starting where the city began in Lower Manhattan, you can view some of the most powerful and evocative landmarks of the city. Wall Street, the center of the financial world and the heart of Lower Manhattan, is home to the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall (where George Washington was inaugurated as president). Just to the north of Wall Street is the City Hall area, flanked on the east by the Brooklyn Bridge and the west by the Woolworth Building (the "Cathedral of Commerce", once the tallest building in the world). A different kind of landmark lies to the west, where the National September 11 Memorial sits at the site of the former World Trade Center towers. To the south, out in the harbor are the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, once the first impressions of many Americans-to-be.
Heading north across the "valley", the neighborhoods of shorter buildings separating the two major business districts, you'll come to Midtown Manhattan, a hub of activity non-stop. The Empire State Building dominates the surrounding area, while the iconic Chrysler Building stakes its ground nearby. In the midst of all these tall structures you'll also find Grand Central Terminal, the main branch of the New York Public Library, and the touristy Rockefeller Center. Facing the East River is the United Nations Headquarters, while to the west sits the insanely crowded tourist hub of Times Square.
New York City is home to museums of every kind, and Manhattan is where the grandest and some of the most fascinating are.
Why not start at "Museum Mile", or 5th Avenue along Central Park in Uptown Manhattan? Here you'll find the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the largest and most important museums of art in the world. Nearby in the Upper East Side and the Harlem area sits the famous Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Guggenheim Museum, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the Jewish Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, the El Museo Del Barrio, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Across Central Park in the Upper West Side is the massive American Museum of Natural History, one of the largest science museums in the world. At the northern end of Manhattan sits The Cloisters, a medieval-themed extension of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In Midtown you'll find the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), one of the most popular collections of modern art in the world. Nearby is the Museum of Television & Radio and the American Folk Art Museum. Theodore Roosevelt's Birthplace is just to the south in Gramercy Flatiron, while the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum sits on the Hudson River to the west.
The neighborhoods of Lower Manhattan are home to a number of small, more specialized museums. Near the Financial District you'll find the African Burial Ground National Monument, the Museum of American Finance, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the National Museum of the American Indian, and the South Street Seaport Museum. Just north in Chinatown is the Museum of Chinese in the Americas, while over in the Lower East Side is the Lower East Side Tenement Museum and the Museum at Eldridge Street Synagogue and the New Museum.
Parks and gardens
Of course, no visit to Manhattan would be complete without a visit to Central Park, by far the largest and most famous park in this borough. Visit the park on a sunny day and join the many New Yorkers and other visitors relaxing on the park benches, biking, looking at the ducks on the pond, boating on the lake, visiting the small Central Park Zoo, sunbathing on the Sheep Meadow, iceskating at the Wollman Rink, or seeing a concert or play. But Central Park is far from the only green space to be found in Manhattan.
In Uptown Manhattan, Fort Tryon Park contains one of the highest points and some of the best views on the island, as well as the Cloisters Museum, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Nearby at the northern tip of Manhattan is Inwood Park, the last remaining virgin forest on the island; many arrowheads and other Native American artifacts have been found here. Along the Hudson River is Riverside Park, a long stretch of parkland running from 59th Street all the way to 155th Street which makes for a lovely stroll or picnic overlooking the waters of the Hudson River and New Jersey on the opposite bank. Carl Schurz Park at East End Avenue and 86th Street is the home of the Gracie Mansion, the Official Residence of the Mayor of New York, and boasts wonderful views of Hell Gate and the East River and is extremely quiet compared to other New York parks.
Moving into the bustle of Midtown, the parks get smaller but are no less frequent. Here you'll find the social centers of New York life, like Bryant Park, a small and charming park behind the New York Public Library which has gone through a major renovation recently and has gained a hard-won reputation for being much better. Free movies on summer nights are incredibly popular. Just south of the canyons of Midtown is Union Square, a crowded social center and long the center for political protests, as well as the home of a popular greenmarket and resting visitors and locals alike. Madison Square Park, a lovely oasis in a bustling area, has beautiful flowering trees and bushes in the spring and boasts views of the Flatiron, Metropolitan Life, and Empire State buildings. On the western side of Manhattan is Hudson River Park, whose promenade, still in progress, will run along the Hudson River from 59th Street to the southern tip of the island. Nearby is the new High Line Park, built on a defunct railway that runs 30 feet above the street.
In Lower Manhattan, parks like Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, Tompkins Square Park in the East Village, and Columbus Park in Chinatown are excellent cosmopolitan spaces which are centers of neighborhood life. In the Financial District is City Hall Park, a small but delightful square (most of the grass is fenced off for security) which makes an excellent spot to rest after walking over the Brooklyn Bridge. At the very southern tip of the island, Battery Park is popular with tourists; famous for its great views of the New York Harbor, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty. The ferries to the Statue and Staten Island depart from here.
Roosevelt Island
Roosevelt Island [6] is an elongated island in the East River between Manhattan Island and Queens. Originally a cattle farm, over the years it has had various names and uses, including as an asylum and a quarantine hospital. Today called Roosevelt Island, it is the home to several thousand New Yorkers who like its calm ambiance and connection to Manhattan. The island offers excellent views of the Manhattan skyline, particularly at the Meditation Steps, just north of the Tramway stop, and Southpoint, a newly-created public space at the southern tip of the island, accessed by one of the riverside promenades. The island also affords one of the best views of the city's 4th of July Fireworks displays when they take place in the East River (for the past two years they have instead been shot off from barges in the Hudson River); in such cases, get to the island very early, or you'll find that the seats are sold out.
There are two ways to access the island from Manhattan. The most popular way for tourists (and certainly the most scenic) is to take the Roosevelt Island Tramway, an aerial tram which crosses over the stretch of the East River between Manhattan and Roosevelt Island next to the Queensboro Bridge, offering splendid views of the skyline along the way. You can board the tram on Second Avenue at 59th Street in the Upper East Side; the one-way fare is $2.25; MetroCards accepted. The second option is to take the subway; the F train makes a single stop on the island, connecting it to the Upper East Side and Midtown to the west and Queens to the east. Additionally, a road bridge connects the island to the intersection of 36th Avenue and Vernon Boulevard in Queens, allowing you to drive, walk, bike, or take the Q102 bus to the island from Queens.
If you plan on staying in Manhattan for some time, there are many types of classes you can take, as you can imagine. The offerings are way too numerous and varied to cover here, but include continuing education and extension courses at famous institutions of higher learning like New York University, Columbia University, the New School, and the Juilliard School of Dance, Drama, and Music; classes and lectures at the 92nd St. Y and many other neighborhood organizations serving the community; cooking classes at any of several cooking schools in Manhattan; martial arts classes; yoga classes; classes in religion at any of the numerous places of worship in the borough; etc., etc., etc.
New York is the fashion capital of the United States, and is a major shopping destination for people around the world. The city boasts an unmatched range of department stores, boutiques, and specialty shops. Some neighborhoods boast more shopping options than most other American cities and have become famous in their own right as consumer destinations. Anything you could possibly want to buy is found in Manhattan.
Of course, Midtown is the hub of shopping; home to Fifth Avenue with its numerous flagship stores (Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Cartier, Tiffany's, Lord and Taylor, Niketown, NBA Store, Versace, Gucci, Armani Exchange, FAO Schwarz, etc.) and perpetually mobbed with shoppers and tourists. Nearby is the massive Bloomingdale's, while over in the Theater District, "The Largest Department Store in the World", the flagship store of Macy's, covers an entire city block.
In the heart of the ultra-wealthy Upper East Side is Madison Avenue, the center of New York's haute couture, full of small shops selling fabulously expensive clothes, accessories, and housewares to people who can afford not to look at the price tag. Even if it's out of your price range, it's worth a visit just to gawk.
Down in Lower Manhattan, Canal Street east of Broadway around Chinatown is the polar opposite of Madison and Fifth Avenues; a paradise for bargain hunters and people looking to buy counterfeit knock-offs of high-end clothes and accessories. If you want to impress people back home with the fake Louis Vuitton bag you got for $30, this is the place to go. Also look at the stores that line Mott Street between Canal and Chatham Square. Nearby is NoLiTa, which has become synonymous with avant-couture boutiques in charmingly dilapidated buildings. Some stores are so idiosyncratic that they appear not to sell anything at all, yet are perpetually crowded and passionately trendy.
West of Broadway, the former artists' colony SoHo is now a prime shopping destination, especially on the weekends, when the sidewalks of West Broadway, Prince Street, and Broadway become almost impassible. Be warned though that the boutique stores have mostly been replaced by high-end chain stores.
New York has hundreds of records stores scattered around the area. Also, though vinyl has disappeared from the shelves of regular record stores, many stores still sell used and new vinyl.
Iconic New York city souvenirs are available in most tourist spots and along pushcart stalls on the street. That said, it's far cheaper (~50% less) to purchase them from shops in Chinatown, near Canal Street.
New York City has a large number of great street food vendors. There are also many run-of-the-mill street or otherwise outdoor more or less food-centered festivals and a few more notable ones, such as the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, in Madison Square Park; the celebration of Bastille Day, which occurs the weekend after July 14 on 60 St. between 5th and Lexington Avs.; Taste of Chinatown; and the Ninth Avenue International Food Festival, taking place on the first weekend after Mother's Day each year. If you come across a street festival by chance, beware the food vendors who make all their money at street festivals, because with a few exceptions, they are usually bad, and look for booths of food establishments from the area. If no sign is up with the location of the booth's store, you can ask the people at each booth where their store is; if it's far away or they don't know where it is, be wary.
Template:Web Manhattan nightlife is some of the most vibrant in the world. Thanks to the 4AM last call and over 800 active venues in Manhattan alone, it is no wonder that many people flock to New York as the mecca of good times.
Certain neighborhoods are better than others for certain crowds but with New York the question is never whether you can find it, it's only where.
Clubbing: Meatpacking District- MePa is the most concentrated upscale club zone in Manhattan. There are 20+ Restaurants, Bars, Lounges and Clubs to choose from within a 5 block radius. Many of them are very strict at the door so be sure you either have contacted a promoter or sweet talked the doormen. Buying a table never hurt (except your wallet!). The meatpacking district website is the best source of info on this area [7]
Chelsea- This was the old club capital of Manhattan with mainstays like Pink Elephant, Cain and Marquee amongst others. Of those listed, only Marquee remains. This area was known for its mega clubs which can hold hundreds upon hundreds of drunken revelers. Though a bit deserted, Chelsea still has a few nooks to look in for great nightlife.
The Dive Special: East Village- You cant throw a stone in East Village without hitting a packed bar. All you need to do is go to 14th street, head due east until the letter avenues (Ave A, etc) and head down any one of those to find yourself dead in the middle. Try walking down 3rd Ave below 14th as well for a good tour of some of the areas bars. Down here you'll find a lot of divey, fratty bars so be prepared to drink keg beer and play beirut!
Yorkville- A semi-hidden gem that not alot of down town heads know about because its so far up. If you hit 2nd Ave and walk from 90th St down through the upper 70's you'll see nearly uninterrupted string of bars and restaurants. Take a walk that way, there are some great spots and all different kinds from upscale to dive.
Honorable Mentions:
It can be quite daunting choosing a bar from the hundreds you have at your fingertips. If all else fails, ask a concierge or even someone in the street, there's bound to be something nearby.
If there is one thing that makes New York City, particularly Manhattan, one of the most expensive cities in the world, it is hotel accommodations. Sometimes, the average room rates in Manhattan exceed those of the more expensive cities in the world such as Tokyo and London. Consider yourself lucky if you can get a room at a full-service hotel at $250/night, not including taxes. While prices vary depending on the season and on the availability, approximate price ranges for Manhattan hotels are:
For budget conscious travelers many new hostels have opened in recent years. While some, like Hostelling International - New York [8] (in a landmarked historic building renovated in the early 1990s) and the many branches of the Jazz Hostels [9] in the Upper West Side, East Village and Times Square have built a reputation for providing good value for money, many others are SRO (Single Room Occupancy) conversions where renovated hotel rooms share space with run down rooms for low income residents. It is best to research a budget hotel carefully before reserving a room. If you have a AAA membership, consider staying at a hotel that offers a discount. The 10% discount can add up over a few days.
Occupancy rates in New York hotels have been very high in recent years and, especially if traveling to the city during Thanksgiving week, in the month of December, or in the month of May, it is best to book well in advance for the best prices. The best way to spend the night in New York is, of course, on the couch of a friend or relative. So, if you want to stretch your dollar, check your address book when planning a trip to New York! Another option is to check short-term room or apartment rentals on Craigslist, but of course it's risky to pay up front for an apartment you haven't seen, so you might want to spend at least your first day or two at a hotel or other place of more or less known quality while checking out possible alternate locations. Inexpensive short-term rentals of decent quality are likely to run for $100/night and up for a double.
Hotels in the other boroughs or New Jersey may be generally less expensive, but if spending a lot of time in Manhattan is important to you, make sure you know what the transportation situation will be like before you make your decision. Also, remember that complimentary meals are usually a disadvantage in hotels in New York, because with a few notable exceptions the better values in food tend to be outside of hotels.
Throughout Manhattan, open WiFi access points are abundant, including many parks and squares such as Bryant Park and Union Square. Starbucks now offer free internet, and some stores such as Apple SoHo and Tekserv offer free wireless Internet to customers.
All of the many branches of The New York Public Library [10] offer free internet access to anyone with a photo id or NYPL library card.
Stay safe
Manhattan and New York generally have experienced a major falloff in crime during the past decade - in fact, for the past few years, New York City has been the safest major city in the United States - so there is no need to be afraid to walk most of the streets day and night and take the subways and buses. However, precautions should still be taken.
Keep your wits about yourself. Try your best to know or at least look like you know where you're going, particularly in areas which are deserted or otherwise feel potentially dangerous to you. Keep your wits about yourself by being aware of what's happening around you on the street, where the open shops are, where you may have spotted any police officers around, etc. Do not hesitate to calmly increase your pace, alter your route, or cross to the other side of the street if you sense it might be the safest course of action.
Beware of pickpockets. During the holiday season, pickpockets like to target shoppers near tourist attractions such as Times Square, 42nd Street, and Macy's, and anywhere where there is a crush of crowds. In order to foil pickpockets, never put your wallet or anything of value in your back pockets, but only in your front pockets. If you use a purse, make sure it is tightly closed and hold on to it. And when you sit down, such as in a restaurant, be careful to keep your valuables in places where an opportunistic thief would be hard pressed to snatch them and run.
Traffic hazards. Manhattan is in certain ways a pedestrian's paradise, but beware that traffic regulations are not always obeyed to the letter. Watch for aggressively turning cars and bicyclists riding the wrong way on one-way streets or on sidewalks. The problem is not constant, but these things happen often enough for them to be worth keeping in the back of your mind while walking on the streets and sidewalks. Also, you'll note that jaywalking is commonplace among New Yorkers, but it can be hazardous to those not experienced in judging the speed of oncoming cars. So do not blindly follow a local, for there's a chance you'll be staring at the headlights of a car if you are not careful.
Get out
Too many travelers probably spend all or too much of their time in New York solely on Manhattan; the island makes a great base from which to travel to one or more of the Outer Boroughs -- Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.

Posted October 25, 2012
With Halloween less than a week away, many pet owners have
already purchased their animal's costume. While these outfits
can be fun and festive, the wrong outfit can be harmful to your
Although costumes are a fun way to interact with your pet, Dr.
Mark Stickney, Clinical Associate Professor and Director of General
Surgery Services at Texas A&M University College of Veterinary
Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, stressed the importance of
monitoring your pet in the clothing.
"Cute little costumes are fun to put on your animals while
trick-or-treating, but when you are not watching your animals, make
sure to take them off," Stickney said.
He also explained that this also goes for sweaters, jackets or
any other pet clothing. While it may seem like pets need clothes to
stay warm, they can do more harm than good if the animal is not
"More than likely your animal does not need to keep clothing on
to stay warm, even in the winter," Stickney said. "If you have a
house pet that only goes outside for 15-20 minutes to go to the
bathroom, they will be more than fine without the clothing."
Another thing Stickney recommended avoiding in pet costumes are
dangly pieces of fabric, bells, or other small objects that the
animal can chew off and swallow. These things can cause the pet to
choke and possibly cause blockages in their intestinal track.
"Ribbons and bows are especially dangerous for cats," Stickney
added. "These are things cats love to play with and chew on, but if
they swallow them it causes what is called a 'linear foreign body.'
This requires emergency surgery to remove or it can 'saw' a hole in
the intestines."
Stickney also warned of a pet being allergic to the clothing
material or the laundry detergent used to wash the costume. If an
animal is allergic to a costume or clothing, Stickney said it may
develop an itchy, red rash.
"The best thing to do is to take the outfit off of the pet and
retire it," Stickney said. "There is no reason to cause your pet
pain and discomfort."
Finally, Stickney stressed that it is important to make sure the
outfits fit correctly. Anything that can wrap around the pets'
neck, paws, or legs can cause them to panic or injure
"This is especially common in small or young dogs as many
costumes may not fit them correctly because of their size,"
Stickney said. "The best way to select pet costumes or clothing is
to buy them at a pet store where you can take your pet with you and
try the outfit on them. That way you will know for sure that it not
only fits correctly but that it also looks as adorable as you

On Being Polite
My husband gave the guy our standard vague answer: "I work at a science apologetics ministry where we look at the latest scientific discoveries and how they harmonize with the Bible." Almost immediately, this guy starts talking about the supposed "human" and dinosaur footprints in the Paluxy riverbed.
Why is it that so many Christians know about this bogus science, but haven't heard of Reasons To Believe?
This is the point in the conversation where I wanted to crawl under a rock. I didn't feel like getting into a debate. We were at our kids' soccer party.
Some things are just better left unsaid...

"Some things are just better left unsaid... "
I think about this a lot. When we leave those things unsaid, we leave others in error. Sometimes we leave them in life-threatening error.
Likewise, sometimes I find out that I've held a wrong idea for many years. When I discover the truth, I feel joy and liberation (because it's always liberating to be free from a lie)! Joy is incomplete until it has been shared (Piper), and I want to tell people about my newfound freedom from ignorance. Many times I get the response, "Well, yeah. I have been wondering for years when you were going to figure that out."
Stunned silence.
You had the key to a door in my prison of ignorance, and you decided that "Some things are just better left unsaid!" You left me wallowing in ignorance while you knew my freedom! You decided that a safe, comfortable, meaningless conversation was better than taking a risk and showing me light?!
What's wrong with you!
But, I guess everyone doesn't see it that way.

I guess I don't see it that way. Sometimes it isn't the appropriate time or place to have a controversial conversation of that nature. Plus, I have found it's far more effective in the long run if I try to build some kind of relationship with the person first. They are generally much more open to input as opposed to someone I just met at the punch bowl of a party. And part of it, quite frankly, is a judgment call. Either way, God is still in control. If He really wants us to talk to this guy about these issues, I honestly believe that an appropriate opportunity will present itself. That's just how I see it.

I ran into the same types of responses when I gave an adult class on Evolution & Creation, at my church. It seems to me (and this may be too much of a generalization) that many YEC tend to put heavy emphasis on the "one-off" or anomalous events rather than focusing on the trends. Human footprints alongside dinos in one location; discordant radiometric dating results; light created in transit; etc.
It's difficult to present a rational argument when the other person thinks all they need is one aberrant piece of evidence to use in response.

Actual Conversation....
me: "I do some work at a Christian ministry that shows how the most recent scientific discoveries provide powerful evidence for the God of the Bible"
fellow christian: "Oh I think that's just so great. I heard that if poisonous snakes are placed in a humid environment, which is like the warm vapor canopy before the flood, then they no longer are poisonous. Doesn't that explain so much!?... I mean, isn't that neat..?!"
me: "why, yes... that sure is interesting"
(this is where i quickly and kindly redirect the conversation).

As an old-Earth scientist who taught in Christian schools for seven years, I often ran into the same thing. I am a diplomatic person by nature, so often just politely nodded my head when someone talked about young-Earth creationism. I agree, however, with the first comment: keeping silent allows others to stay in error.
I did manage to teach from an old-Earth perspective in school, but had to do it with a lot of tact and diplomacy.
I recently attended a young-Earth seminar at a local church, and I did confront (lovingly) the speaker during breaks regarding things like dinosaur footprints. I wrote about this here.

Kevin, I checked out your blog and have added it to my list on the right. May God guide you on your job search.

CRESTVIEW � The time to begin filing tax returns is just around the corner.
CRESTVIEW � The time to begin filing tax returns is just around the corner.
To help low- to moderate-income households, the Crestview JobsPlus will host free income tax preparation, by appointment, starting Jan. 30.
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, or VITA, serves households annually earning $51,000 or less.
"The idea is that if someone can come to a free site and get their taxes done, than that is money that they saved," Elaine Courtney, a University of Florida Okaloosa County Extension Office agent, said. "It will be a service to those that need it in the community."
The VITA program has been available to service members living on Okaloosa military bases, but this is the first time all the county�s residents may participate.
"There were two (counties) in Florida that didn't have VITA (last year), and we were one of them," Courtney said. The other county was Gadsden.
Crestview�s VITA program currently has seven IRS-trained and certified volunteers to help qualified households prepare their tax returns.
However, more volunteers are needed.
"The more volunteers we have, the more hours we will be able to staff," Courtney said.
Time is of the essence, organizers said.
"People can volunteer on different levels from greeters to tax preparers," Rita Smith, the career agency�s manager, said. "We just ask that they contact us as soon as possible so we can get them into training."
Holly McCarroll, an IRS tax consultant, said VITA training primarily is web-based. Call Courtney at 689-5850 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to apply for training.
"Depending on their comfort level, (the training period) can be anywhere from a couple of days to a week or so," she said.
The agency is a fitting site, McCarroll said.
�It�s the perfect location for the VITA program because our audience is the same people that they serve," she said. Many residents use the agency�s online workshops and attend its workshops to find employment.
In addition to volunteers, VITA coordinators also seek donations.
"We are going to need paper to print returns," Courtney said. The program also could use more ink cartridges.

Contact the JobsPlusin Crestview, 689-7823, beginning Jan. 30. JobsPlus is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Yet Another Microsoft White Space Device Stops Working
from the er...-maybe-test-that-a-bit-longer dept
Now, to be totally clear, the problems with these devices have nothing to do with causing interference. The devices haven't been shown to cause interference -- just to have trouble working. But, of course, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) quickly used these failures to slam the idea of freeing up the whitespace, even though there's still no evidence of interference. With the way the NAB has acted around this issue and the recent XM-Sirius merger debate, you have to conclude that the NAB thinks everyone out there is just completely stupid, and will believe any false or misleading statement it makes. Otherwise it makes no sense for the NAB to make the types of claims it makes on a regular basis. These devices are prototypes, and production devices will be totally different. Either way, the point is not whether the prototypes can keep working, but whether there's interference. That said, it would probably make sense for Microsoft to test these devices a bit more before tossing them over the wall to the FCC.

Vikings' Cook Expected to Play Sunday
Vikings cornerback Chris Cook is expected to return Sunday when the Vikings play at Houston Sunday at noon, pregame on WJON at 11am. Cook has been sidelined the last 6 games due to a broken bone in his right arm. Viking head coach Leslie Frazier says Cook will play. The Vikings have been using A.J. Jefferson, Josh Robinson and Antoine Winfield at cornerback in Cook's absence.
The Vikings are 9-point underdogs Sunday when they play at Houston. Getting Cook back will allow the Vikings to put Cook on 6'3 230 pound receiver Andre Johnson. The Vikings are 8-6 while Houston is 12-2. Minnesota needs a win to keep their playoff hopes alive while Houston needs just 1 win in their remaining 2 games to clinch home field advantage throughout the playoffs in the AFC.

Completed my Remington 870 Blackhawk Gen 2 Stock. ATI heat shield. Mesa 4 shot holder
Remington 870 - Gen II blackhawk! knoxx stock. ATI heat shield. Mesa 4 shot shell holder.
Hello everybody i wanted to express how glad i am to finish the mods to my Remington 870.
I must say it was truly a pain in the neck to get my shotgun together... but im glad its done...
Looks like all the problems of the new 870's i read about in the forums was about my shotgun, from stuck shells, crazy stock bolt thats wayyy to tight, and ill fitting ATI universal heat shield...
First I took my shotgun to the gunsmith to hone and polish the chamber due to spent shells being stuck.
Then after i got my shotgun back it was time to add the Knoxx Gen II stock but the bolt for the factory remington stock was literally impossible to take out even with a heavy duty screwdriver (the screwdriver was bending!) What i had to do is saw off the stock and use a vice grip to turn the bolt loose at a 90 degree angle while my friend held the gun... crazy... it was just as tough to get Blackhawk stock bolt securely back in. I decided to skip the forend due to fitting issues i read about, i like the look of the stock forend more than the Blackhawk gen II forend anyways..
After reading about the issues of the ATI universal heat shield scratching up the barrel and being ill-fitting, i was kinda reluctant to put that on. My buddy did that for me, he used a rubber mallet to shape the metal to the correct size of the barrel (of course the shield was taken off first and set on top of wood pallet to shape the shield with the rubber mallet) and got the heat shield to line up perfectly, tight and snug, withOUT any scratches, made it Look like the factory heat shield on the moss persuader, definitely happy with that... by the way i bought the ATI heat shield with the stupid plastic ghost rings, I did NOT put those on, i just left them off...
The Mesa 4 shot shell holder was simply bolted on... the whole thing took my buddy about hour and a half to 2 hours to finish everything. For his time i gave him some smokes and a few pounds of beef jerkey, what a deal!
I recently bought 3" high velocity remington sluggers and the regular 2.75 remington slugs, I havent shot the gun at the range yet, i will update yall as soon as I do!
Last edited by 2nd; 03-14-2013 at 2:09 PM..
Went to angeles shooting range yesterday, the shotgun was flawless. We shot mostly Remington High velocity slugs, and the blackhawk gen2 stock absorbed much of the recoil, loved it...
I may remove the ATI heat shield, It did not stay in place. After shooting about 80 rounds the shield crept up the barrel. Not sure what to use so the heat shield stays in the same position...
Sweet youre saving 13-15 bucks, use that on ammo, how did you get the free pass? I would say angeles will be my go to range, I only shot at the east side of the range but its great.. after shooting at Camp Pendleton's awesome clay range, the clay area at angeles felt a little cramped but its good enough for me.
I love Angeles! best Outdoor range hands down around Socal in my opinion. Quick question what's the cost on camp pendletons clay range per clay?
Thanks I ended up taking the heat shield off... the prices are low and its open to civilians, check this out :

by Pope John Paul II
It is the same when we deal with death. It is often awaited even as a liberation from
the suffering of this life. At the same time, it is not possible to ignore the fact that
it constitutes as it were a definitive summing-up of the destructive work both in the
bodily organism and in the psyche. But death primarily involves the dissolution of the
entire psychophysical personality of man. The soul survives and subsists separated from
the body, while the body is subjected to gradual decomposition according to the words of
the Lord God, pronounced after the sin committed by man at the beginning of his earthly
history: "You are dust and to dust you shall return." Therefore, even if death
is not a form of suffering in the temporal sense of the word, even if in a certain way it
is beyond all forms of suffering, at the same time the evil which the human being
experiences in death has a definitive and total character. By His salvific work, the
only-begotten Son liberates man from sin and death. First of all He blots out from human
history the dominion of sin, which took root under the influence of the evil spirit
beginning with original sin, and then He gives man the possibility of living in
sanctifying grace. In the wake of His victory over sin, He also takes away the dominion of
death, by His resurrection beginning the process of the future resurrection of the body.
Both are essential conditions of "eternal life," that is, of man's definitive
happiness in union with God; this means, for the saved, that in the eschatological
perspective suffering is totally blotted out.
From section 15. of John Paul II's Apostolic Letter Salvifici Doloris, 11
February 1984.

When the weather is cold, or if you're sitting in a chilly basement, the first thing you probably do is bring out your good old trusty space heater. It's portable, comforting, and will make you warm… right?
Unfortunately that space heater of yours isn't as good and trusty as you might think.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission space heaters cause more than 25,000 residential fires every year and more than 300 fatalities.
Space heaters come in many sizes, styles and types. They are available in electric, propane, or gas. Although space heaters can be a great source of heat, they are equally a great source of potential danger.
Space heaters can release carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless gas that causes a variety of health problems. Other potential dangers include burns if touching it while it's on or accidentally knocking it over. Fires can also result from space heaters if left plugged-in and unattended.
Luckily, we have heating solutions that are safe, luxurious, and comforting.
The WarmlyYours Under Desk Heater is one of the safest alternatives to a life-threatening space heater. This portable, plug-in floor mat is designed to fit conveniently under any desk or anywhere else you need it, and will provide you with extra warmth and comfort whenever and wherever you need it.
Instead of a dangerous space heater that can burn you to touch, the Under Desk Heater has a carpet covering that is so incredibly soft; you will appreciate your Desk Heater just for the way it feels under your fingertips! At a fraction of the energy required by space heaters, the Under Desk Heater is perfect for year round use in your home or office.
Another safe alternative would be our LAVA® Radiant Panel. Winner of the 2011 KBIS 'Best of Show' Award, WarmlyYours Radiant Heating Panels are a state-of-the-art glass radiant heating system that will provide you with unparalleled heating performance. It also has an ECO- LAVA® principle, that allows you to maintain the same warmth as a regular heating system but at a lower capacity.

With it's variety of colors and artistic design that mounts easily to your wall, The LAVA® is a functional and beautiful, decorative piece to add to your home!
And last but certainly not least, our #1 heating solution for any home is our radiant floor heating!
Radiant floor heating systems such as our TempZone™ and Environ II™, can be installed under a wide variety of flooring such as laminate, carpet, hardwood, stone, and tile. Our systems generate an evenly distributed heat throughout your home, radiating up from the floor and does not disturb dust – reducing noise levels, dry air, and possible allergic reactions.
With electric radiant floor heating, heat is delivered to the floor from underneath, which in turn warms the people and objects in the room rather than one, small space in a room. Eliminating inconsistent room temperatures and reducing the percentage of dust mites by 80%, radiant floor heating improves the comfort level in your home while creating a healthier environment for you!
It's time to say good-bye to that dangerous space heater of yours, and say hello to luxury, comfort, and better health!

Eurozone crisis as much a result of poor decisions in Berlin and Frankfurt as in Athens, Madrid and Lisbon, says Adam Posen
A senior member of the Bank of England has warned Berlin to be lenient with indebted eurozone countries or risk the breakup of the currency union.
Adam Posen, who steps down as a member of the bank's monetary policy committee (MPC) later this month, said Germany's government and banks were culpable in lending to Greece, Spain and Portugal and should recognise that the debt crisis was as much a result of poor decision-making in Frankfurt and Berlin as Athens, Madrid and Lisbon.
He said the Germans would be shooting themselves in the foot if they imposed politically destabilising austerity on Greece and other struggling countries.
"It is in Germany's commercial and economic interests, not just its foreign policy and idealistic interests, to restructure the debt that other countries owe them," he said.
In a swipe at Angela Merkel's handling of the crisis, he argued that the German chancellor should tell the truth about the culpability of successive German governments and the negative impact from a breakup.
Posen, a US economist, also called for the Bank of England to take extra measures to ease credit conditions in the UK and encourage lending.
He told the BBC Hardtalk programme that the double-dip recession was "entirely predictable" after the coalition accelerated the austerity measures adopted by the previous Labour administration.
He repeated his condemnation of the Bank's governor, Sir Mervyn King, for giving public support to the policy change, though he praised him for reacting quickly to deteriorating economic conditions, especially after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the US, which precipitated the banking crisis in 2008.
Posen is renowned for favouring interventionist policies to support economic growth. He lobbied for an increase in the Bank's quantitative easing policy, which he said had been under-used in 2010 and 2011. He argued that an earlier expansion of QE, which involves creating money to encourage bank lending, alongside more direct efforts to promote lending to small and medium-sized businesses, would have increased consumer demand, investment and economic growth.
In a sweeping criticism of the limited measures taken by the Bank of England, he said it should buy up mortgages and the debts of non-banking lenders to free up the financial system of overwhelming debts burdens.
Too often the MPC had focused on persuading high street banks to lend more rather than considering setting up new banks with a mandate to lend, said Posen.
"We should be buying things other than just gilts, such as bundles of private sector debt and special bonds to finance infrastructure.
"The funding for lending scheme set up by the Bank is a step in the right direction but I think the central bank should do more to go around the existing banking system."

Cynthia Ozick, (born April 17, 1928, New York, N.Y., U.S.), American novelist, short-story writer, essayist, and intellectual whose works seek to define the challenge of remaining Jewish in contemporary American life. By delving into the oldest religious sources of Judaism, Ozick explored much new territory.
Ozick received a B.A. in English in 1949 from New York University and an M.A. in 1950 from Ohio State University. Her first novel, Trust (1966), is the story of a woman's rejection of her wealthy American Jewish family and her search for her renegade father in Europe. It has echoes of Henry James in its juxtaposition of American and European settings. In subsequent books, such as Bloodshed and Three Novellas (1976), Ozick struggled with the idea that the creation of art (a pagan activity) is in direct opposition to principles of Judaism, which forbids the creation of idols. The psychological aftermath of the Holocaust is another theme of her work, especially in Levitation: Five Fictions (1982) and the novels The Cannibal Galaxy (1983) and The Shawl (1989). She often drew upon traditional Jewish mysticism to expand upon her themes. One of her recurring characters is Ruth Puttermesser. In 1997 Ozick published The Puttermesser Papers, a short novel consisting of narratives and false memories of the aging Puttermesser, who in one story brings a female golem to life in order to save New York City, with disastrous results.
Ozick's later works turn away from the theme of the sacred and the profane. Her novel The Messiah of Stockholm (1987) is, in part, a meditation on the nature of writing. Heir to the Glimmering World (2004; also published as The Bear Boy) tells the story of a young woman hired as a nanny in the home of two Jewish-German academics exiled to New York City in the 1930s. Diction: A Quartet, a collection of four short stories, was published in 2008.
Many of Ozick's essays have been collected in Art & Ardor (1983), Metaphor & Memory (1989), Fame & Folly (1996), Quarrel & Quandary (2000), and The Din in the Head (2006).

The Levelland, Hockley County Ethanol plant cranked up March 13 and produced its first batch of renewable fuel early morning March 17, the first of what officials expect to be 40 million gallons per year.
White Energy's ethanol plant at Hereford fired up its 100-million-gallon plant and produced its first load in January. The company's 110-million gallon plant in Plainview is slated to start production in late April or the first of May, says Omer Sagheer, White Energy vice president for marketing and public policy.
"We're now loading out wet cake from our first batch," said Sam Sacco, general manager at the Levelland facility.
Sacco expects the facility to develop a symbiotic relationship with this rural community about an hour's drive west of Lubbock, Texas. "This will be good for the community," he said. "For one thing, for the first time in the area, farmers will have a 24-7 milo market and a good price."
He said the plant, under construction since October, 2006, will use 15 million bushels of milo per year. "That's 42,000 bushels a day, 48 trucks every day. I hope farmers take advantage of this opportunity."
Currently, he's shipping in corn. "We're testing with corn but by this time next year we hope to be 100 percent local milo. We're selling distillers grain to local dairies, who like the milo because it has higher protein and less fat than corn. We're also capping carbon dioxide, which goes to oil fields."
The plant uses gray water from the city in the production process.
"And for the first time in this area Conoco/Phillips will offer E-10 and E-85 fuel locally," Sacco said.
Sagheer said both the Hereford and Plainview plants will use grain sorghum and corn, and will buy as much as possible from local producers. "We're trying to get farmers to grow more," he said.
White Energy will sell some of their ethanol production locally. "We'll also ship some to Dallas, Houston and Southern California," Sagheer said.
Sacco said area cotton farmers can add milo to their cropping system, get a good price for it and help their cotton land. "It's a neat situation. Farmers can produce milo for a good price, get distillers grain for their livestock or dairy cows and fill their trucks up with ethanol that came from their crop. It's ideal and a good fit for the community as a whole."
Saco said the combination of manufacturing, agriculture and related industries increases jobs and income for the rural community. "We need the farmers and we believe they need us," he said. "We're contributing to the community with jobs and helping to recycle water."
Sagheer said ethanol offers rural communities opportunities they have not seen for years.
"Ethanol may not be the be-all and end-all for energy," he said, "but it's better than the alternative available now. Ethanol plants bring in good paying jobs and improvements in infrastructure give a big boost to the economy."
He said the plant adds about 50 jobs directly but another 100 to 150 indirect jobs. "We don't see many industries coming into rural America these days," he said.
Those economic incentives "strengthen rural communities. Ethanol plants create funds, increase the tax base and improve schools (and other services)."
Sacco said the local supply and the local outlet for ethanol creates a unique opportunity for the rural community to use a product in which they have a stake.
Recent price hikes for corn and milo have tightened profit margins for ethanol production, Sagheer said. "But we have to manage through it."
He said White Energy has no other plants either on the planning board or under construction in the Southwest. "We have one in Russell, Kan., a 50 million-gallon facility, that uses grain sorghum."
He said gas companies have begun offering fuel with ethanol blends in West Texas because they see a consistent supply.

Alternate Names
Radiation - mouth and neck - discharge
What to Expect
When you have radiation treatment for cancer, your body goes through some changes.
Two weeks after radiation treatment starts, you might have changes in your skin. Your skin and mouth may turn red, your skin might start to peel or get dark, or your skin may itch. Also your skin under your chin may get droopy. Most of these changes will go away.
You may also have dry mouth, mouth pain, nausea, or it may be hard to swallow. You may lose your sense of taste, and you may not be interested in eating.
Your jaw may feel stiff, and it may be harder to open your mouth very wide. Your dentures may no longer fit well, and they may cause sores in your mouth.
Your body hair will fall out 2 -o 3 weeks after radiation treatment starts, but ONLY in the area being treated. When your hair grows back, it may be different than before.
Skin Care
When you have radiation treatment, a health care provider draws colored markings on your skin. Do not remove them. These show where to aim the radiation. If they come off, do not redraw them. Tell your doctor if they come off.
Take care of the treatment area:
- Wash gently with lukewarm water only. Do not scrub your skin. Pat dry, instead of rubbing dry.
- Do NOT use soaps. Do not use lotions, ointments, makeup, or perfumed powders or other perfumed products on this area. Ask your doctor what is okay to use.
- Keep the area that is being treated out of the direct sun.
- Do not scratch or rub your skin.
Tell your doctor or nurse if you have any break or opening in your skin.
Wear clothing that protects you from the sun, such as a hat with a broad brim and a shirt with long sleeves. Use sunscreen. Talk with your doctor or nurse about using sun-blocking lotions.
Use only an electric razor to shave. Do not put heating pads or ice bags on the treatment area. Wear loose-fitting clothing around your neck.
Mouth Care
Use a toothbrush with soft bristles after meals and at bedtime.
Make your own mouthwash:
- Use 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 4 cups of water.
- Use this mouthwash once every hour.
- Do not use store-bought mouthwash. It has alcohol in it. Store-bought mouthwash will also make your dry mouth worse, or it may cause pain.
Keep your mouth and teeth clean. Clean them often the way your dentist or doctor recommends. Sip water often.
If you use dentures, wear them as little as possible. Stop wearing your dentures if you get sores on your gums. Ask your doctor or dentist about medicine to help with
You need to eat enough protein and calories to keep your weight up. See also:
Tips to make eating easier:
- Choose foods that you like.
- Try foods with gravy, broths, or sauces. They will be easier to chew and swallow.
- Eat small meals, and eat more often during the day.
- Cut your food into small pieces.
- Ask the doctor or dentist if artificial saliva might be helpful for you.
Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of liquid each day (not including coffee or tea, or other drinks that have caffeine in them).
- Have liquids with your meals.
- Sip cool drinks during the day.
- Keep a glass of water next to your bed at night. Drink when you get up to use the bathroom or other times you wake up.
Ask your doctor about liquid food supplements. These can help you get enough calories.
Do not eat sugary snacks that may cause tooth decay. Avoid alcoholic beverages, very spicy foods, acidic foods, or foods that are very hot or cold.
If pills are hard to swallow, try crushing them and mixing them with ice cream or another soft food.
Most people who get radiation treatment begin to feel tired after a few days. If you feel tired:
- Do not try to do too much in a day. You probably will not be able to do everything you are used to doing.
- Try to get more sleep at night. Rest during the day when you can.
- Take a few weeks off work, or work less.
Follow-up Care
See your dentist often. Your doctor may check your blood counts regularly, especially if the radiation treatment area on your body is large.

I have just used Driver Max and up dated my drivers in Win XP Pro. Unfortunately the sound problems I had were not corrected and in fact I had no sound from the speakers. I then uninstalled the new drivers and my speaker sound came back.The sound from the speakers is perfect using Media Player BUT when watching You Tube videos or web pages with video the sound is very low. You can play movies in VLC and the sound is perfect too.

Interesting Strategy: Rockstar Games To Dump Cheaters Into A Game Where They Only Play Other Cheaters
from the trolls-with-trolls dept
Anyone found to have used hacked saves, modded games, or other exploits to gain an unfair advantage in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer, or to circumvent the leaderboards will be quarantined from all other players into a "Cheaters Pool", where they'll only be able to compete in multiplayer matches with other confirmed miscreants. In the event we decide to absolve any of these cheaters for their past transgressions they may re-enter play with the general public, however a second offense will result in their indefinite banishment. In either case, we will be removing invalid leaderboard entries to ensure that the players at the top of the charts have earned their spots fairly.I am a little curious about the appeals process (it would be awesome if they built an in-game courtroom...), but overall, the solution seems a lot more sensible than outright bans. While some are wondering if some players may prefer this "Cheaters Pool," I don't see how that's a problem. It basically allows Rockstar to offer two different versions of the game, in which the skills required are slightly different.

LAS VEGAS — The man police say is responsible for the death of aspiring Oakland rapper Ken Cherry as well as two others will be extradited from Los Angeles back to Nevada within the month, prosecutors announced Thursday.
Ammar Harris, 27, will be sent back to Nevada from a Los Angeles County jail by May 10, an aide to the Clark County District Attorney said Thursday. He is accused of shooting Cherry on Feb. 21 causing the crash that killed two people in a taxi struck by Cherry's car.
Court officials in Los Angeles said a status hearing on Harris' extradition was postponed from Friday to next Wednesday, but they did not say why.
Harris, a self-described pimp, was arrested by a fugitive apprehension team of police and FBI agents on Feb. 28 in Studio City.
Harris is accused of firing shots from a Range Rover SUV, mortally wounding Cherry, who was driving a Maserati sports car. The Maserati then drove forward and slammed into a taxi, killing the cabdriver, 62-year-old Michael Boldon, and his passenger, Sandra Sutton-Wasmund, 48, of Maple Valley, Wash.
Authorities said in court documents that Harris and Cherry had argued minutes earlier in the valet area of a resort on the strip.
Five other people were injured in the crash.
Cherry, who went by his stage name "Kenny Clutch," had three children and grew up in Berkeley and Oakland and attended two Catholic high schools there.
He had moved to Las Vegas in recent years.
Staff writer Katie Nelson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

PrepaCyte® - CB
The simple solution for cord blood processing.
The simple solution for cord blood processing.
Intended Use
The PrepaCyte-CB (Cord Blood) Processing System is intended for use in cell processing laboratories to process and store total nucleated cells (TNC) from human umbilical cord blood, prior to banking. The device is composed of three integrally-attached processing and storage containers (or a single processing container) with separation media.
PrepaCyte-CB Quality
PrepaCyte-CB Simplicity & Cost Effectiveness
Other PrepaCyte-CB Product Features
Expected Results
A multi-site in vitro clinical study was performed with PrepaCyte-CB (P/N PCB1000). Study results are shown below for TNC and CD34+ stem cells.
Results for TNC were obtained using an automated hematology analyzer and include lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, CD34+ hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells and nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs). Functional CFU assays were performed as part of the device performance validation and results demonstrated that the recovered cells retain hematopoietic proliferative potential.
Analysis was conducted on cord blood units (collected in CPD) meeting a pre-processing criteria for TNC of >900 x 106, cord blood unit volume >60 ml (without anticoagulant) and were processed within 48 hours of collection.
TNC absolute counts and recoveries were reported on 155 cord blood units; of the 155 units, absolute viable CD34+ counts and recoveries were reported on 73 units.
Data shows that:
§ 100% (155/155) of cord blood units processed met the minimum TNC absolute count recommendation of = 5.0 x 108 TNC / unit HPC-C for a transplantable unit. (Based on 20kg recipient at = 2.5 x 107 nucleated cells/kg.)
§ 100% (73/73) of cord blood units processed met the minimum viable CD34+ absolute count recommendation of = 1.25 x 106 CD34+ cells / unit HPC-C for a transplantable unit.
Recommendations from FDA's Draft Guidance document "Minimally Manipulated, Unrelated, Allogeneic Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood Intended for Hematopoietic Reconstitution in Patients with Hematological Malignancies".
Flexible for Market Developments/Changes
PrepaCyte-CB is the first clinical product originating from BioE's patented PrepaCyte technology platform. This flexible platform can generate a variety of cell products, an important feature as other cell types emerge as clinically relevant.

The cutest little whitehead, Kakusen-kun
Yeah, you've heard it a hundred times: Japan's weird. "They had that bagel head thing," you may say (which was never a "thing," actually). Well, Japan has once again come up with something that will get under your skin, only this time it's actually a "thing" broadcasted on national television.
It's an animated series called "Nyuru Nyuru!! Kakusen-kun" (nyuru nyuru being the sound of something squeezing out of somewhere), which follows a newly formed whitehead (kakusen in Japanese) during his adventures living on the surface of a human nose. The two-minute show is supposed to be an obscure comedy that occasionally drops some skin care tips. The characters try their best to survive attacks by pore strips and face mites, which is more kimoi than kawaii. Popular idol group Dempagumi.inc sings the theme song, adding to the buzz factor.
While we certainly appreciate the cuteness and fidelity of having an 8-year-old boy play the young protagonist, rather than an older girl (as is the practice in many anime shows), it is pretty strange to hear him saying stuff like, "I wonder how much money I'd have to spend to get that lady-whitehead to go out with me," about a beauty queen contest-winning zit, or learning to appreciate the lashes of her whip later on.

Great Dane Parent Buys Fleetwood's Pa. Plant
September 3, 2013 by Leanne Phillips · Comments Off on Great Dane Parent Buys Fleetwood's Pa. Plant
The remaining portion of the former Fleetwood RV complex in Paxino, Pa., has been purchased by the parent company of Great Dane Trailers, a well-known manufacturer that has made a number of acquisitions nationwide since celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2000.
The News-Item, Shamokin, reported that CC Industries Inc. (CCI) bought the 73-acre property along Route 487 for $3.85 million, according to a deed filed last week with the Northumberland County Register and Recorder's Office. It was one of four properties acquired by CCI in a sale authorized Aug. 1 by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's Central California District.
CCI is the parent company of Great Dane, which also operates a plant in Danville. It is the private-equity division of Chicago-based Henry Crown and Co., which is among the nation's richest private companies.
A spokesman for Great Dane remained mum Thursday on CCI's intentions in Paxinos.
"At this time no specific plans for the property have been announced," David P. Grant, marketing director, said in confirming the purchase.
Even so, the purchase suggests the company might at some point be using the facility to make Great Dane products, which included refrigerated trailers, dry-freight trailers, platform trailers and truck bodies. When and if that will happen and how many people might be employed remain unanswered.

Extremely old, extremely large sperm and the sexual organ that propelled them. It's an awkward kind of scientific discovery but incredible nonetheless.
Australian researchers found "almost perfectly preserved" sperm cells curled up within the sexual organs of 17-million-year-old fossilized shrimp. Not only were the fossil sperm preserved but also the organ that sent those sperm into the female.
And just why were these shrimp fossils -- and their mega sperm -- so well preserved over the course of millions of years? "Tons of bat guano," says researcher Renate Matzke-Karasz.
University of New South Wales researchers published word of their discovery Wednesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. According to the scientists, these delights are the "oldest fossilized sperm ever found in the geological record."
The scientists believe it was the bat poop at the fossil-rich Queensland site where the fossil shrimp were found that preserved the soft tissues of the shrimp so well for so many years. UNSW associate professor Suzanne Hand speculated ithat there may be "some magic ingredient in bat droppings."
The sperm were found in specimens of the species Heterocypris collaris and Newnhamia mckenziana.
Matzke-Karasz told the Los Angeles Times by email Thursday that the scientists had "29 specimens with inner organs preserved. Four of those were clear males (identified by the sperm pumps)."
Researchers put the shrimp under a microscope and virtually peeled it -- seeing its internal sexual organs, and within those its preserved giant sperm cells, and within those its nuclei, which eons ago held the animals' DNA.
The shrimp are known as ostracods, which are among the creatures with the largest sperm in the animal kingdom. Some freshwater ostracods make sperm that's up to 10 times the length of the ostracod's body. The sperm in the ancient shrimp found by the Aussie researchers were 1.3 millimeters long. (For the sake of comparison, the head of a human sperm has a width of 3.5 microns, or 0.0035 millimeters.)
What organism has the longest sperm cell? The Drosophila bifurca species of fruit fly is said to produce sperm that's 5.8 centimeters long.
Transferring such sperm, contained within tiny organisms, seems like a huge feat. But Mother Nature's genius is apparent with the Zenker organ -- the muscular "sperm pump" referred to earlier by Matzke-Karasz -- which is highly effective at moving giant sperm from Point A to Point B. These fossilized organs were also observed, well preserved, in the tiny shrimp.
Given the size of the sperm, we asked Matzke-Karasz: Wouldn't the egg of the female also have to be size XL?
No, she said: "The solution is very simple. After the sperm enters the egg, it coils up tightly, close to the egg's inner coat surface."
The researchers are celebrating their find at the Riversleigh site in Queensland. They said this rich fossil site has produced giant, toothed platypuses and flesh-eating kangaroos -- but minuscule shrimp with mega sperm? That was "totally unexpected."
