The Creation Of The Universe
Miracles in Our Bodies
The Skeleton Composed of Bones
T here are 206 bones in our body. You may think that this is too many, but with the example we will give, you will understand how necessary it is to have that many bones. Let's consider the fingers. If each of your fingers consisted of only one bone, you would not be able to hold this book as you are doing now. This is because a stiff bone cannot be bent and will eventually break if you force it too hard. Since you would not be able to bend your fingers, you would not be able to grasp or catch hold of objects either. Neither would you be able to write or eat. What enables you to hold this book easily and maybe to drink your fruit juice at the same time is the existence of 27 interconnected bones, including those of your fingers, in your hand.
As previously stated, there are 206 bones in our bodies, which are connected to each other like those in the hands. Each of these bones is situated in their places according to an intelligent plan. It is thanks to this perfect plan that you can bend your body forward, kneel and turn your head to the side. But make no mistake: you cannot do all these things just by using your bones, because bones cannot be bent. There are joints at the connection points of your bones. Thanks to these joints, you can easily bend your arm, raise your leg and use your fingers.
Let us give you an example in order to help you better understand how important joints are for the motion of our bones:
Suppose that you made a wooden puppet. What should you do to move its arms? The arms of the puppet will surely not move unless you place a joint where the arms are connected to the shoulder. How will you make its legs movable then? You have to use an articulating piece again where its legs join the trunk. Only then can you move the wooden puppet's arms and legs. Likewise, if you separate the wood you have used for arms and legs into two pieces and place articulating pieces, or joints, between these pieces, then the puppet's arms and legs will also be bendable at the elbows and knees respectively. As may be clearly understood by this example, having many bones and joints placed between them where necessary enables us to move easily.
The Inimitable Properties of Bones
There are different types of joints between our bones. While some joints enable bones to move back and forth, others enable bones to move sideways. Now let's examine the joints and bones a little more closely.
Our bones have undertaken the duties of carrying and protecting our bodies. Certainly, they are created capable and strong enough to perform these hard duties.
Our bones are light because they are interspersed with small holes like a honeycomb. But even though they are very light thanks to this porous structure, they are also very rigid. However this does not mean that they are fragile. On the contrary, they are so rigid that if you take the same amounts of bone and steel, they are 5 times stronger than steel. The thighbones in our legs, for example, have such an enormous capacity that they can lift a one ton load while standing upright. When you hop or jump from side to side, this bone is put under a weight corresponding to 3-4 times your body weight. However, you do not suffer any damage thanks to the firmness of your bones.
What makes bones so strong? In fact, the answer to this question is hidden in the matchless creation of bones, which we have briefly mentioned above. Bones are made of porous tissue like honeycomb. It is thanks to this structure that they are both very strong and light enough for easy use. Had it been otherwise, that is, if the inner parts of the bones had been rigid and did not have any spaces like the outer part, the bones would be too heavy. Furthermore, since they would not be elastic at all, you could have your bones broken or cracked with even the slightest of blows, say when you hit your arm lightly against the edge of a closet. However, Allah is All-Merciful and He created our bones so as to afford physical ease and protection.
What bones are made of has interested scientists a lot and they have tried to imitate bone tissue for years. This tissue, which is very strong, despite being very light, and which, most importantly, is capable of repairing itself, can grow on its own. The reason why your current body length is not the same as your length when you were 4-5 years old and why it will be different when you are 19-20 is the growth of your bones. Amazingly this growth is very well proportioned. Your arms grow while your legs grow; your fingers and toes grow harmoniously and the growth of each bone stops at an exact time. Furthermore, this does not happen only in your body but also in every healthy person's body. Everybody has bones possessing these characteristics.
Scientists are conducting studies in order to produce a substance similar to the one that forms the bones in a human body. However, nobody has been able to develop a substance with such advanced characteristics as a bone has.
It is thanks to the compassion of our Lord that our bones enable us to live our lives easily and to do a wide range of movements without difficulty and without suffering any pain.
Bones That Maintain Themselves
We have explained that there are joints where bones are connected to each other. For example, we can bend and straighten out our arms and legs thanks to the joints located at our elbows and knees. Although they move throughout our lives, these joints never need to be lubricated. Machines, however, need regular maintenance. For example, you have to lubricate the pedals or the chain of your bicycle from time to time because the amount of oil is reduced as they are used, which consequently restricts motion. Likewise, the joints between your bones are used all the time, yet you never have to lubricate them. Why is that?
The answer to this question has been sought by scientists, who eventually discovered the following fact: in a joint, a tough, rubbery tissue called cartilage cushions the ends of the bones at contact points. There is a thin membrane lining the entire joint cavity which secretes a special fluid. As the bone exerts pressure on the joint, this fluid is forced out of the membrane and the joint becomes "lubricated".
All these facts reveal to us that the human body is the result of an excellent design and superior creation. It is thanks to this excellent design that we can make many different movements easily and quickly. These features of the bones have been created by our Lord. Allah invites people to reflect on the creation of bones:
... Look at the bones—how We raise them up and clothe them in flesh... (Surat al-Baqara: 259)
How Does a Broken Bone Heal?
We have mentioned that bones are very rigid and strong. They may, however, be broken when they are exposed to severe blows. What happens then? The bone repairs itself. Doctors set the broken bone and make a plaster cast so that the bone knits correctly. There is nothing left for the doctors to do because the bone has its own repairing mechanism. It is miraculous that a broken bone heals itself and becomes even stronger than before. This miracle is worked as follows:
The blood surrounding the broken bone coagulates and forms a "haematoma", which is a large mass of clotted blood. This clot is a coating similar to the scab on your skin that occur following a cut. Minerals secreted by bone-building cells transform this clot into a rigid bone. Once this phase is completed, bone-dissolving cells come into play. Acting like a professional sculptor, these cells reduce the new bone with hydrochloric acid, which is a quite strong acid, and give a particular form to the bone. This process continues until the bone regains its original form. Even a year later, these bone-dissolving cells keep reducing the bone like diligent sculptors in order to shape it.
As you have realised, all these tasks that are performed by bone cells, which are too small to be perceived by the naked eye, are signs of a superior intelligence. That is because cells do not have eyes to see with, yet they can build bones. Besides, they can understand when the space between the two broken pieces is filled and thus can decide when to stop. Then bone-dissolving cells notice that the newly built bone needs to be fashioned, and start reducing it. In order to do this, they use a strong acid to break down the bone, and give it the most appropriate form by applying this acid in smaller or greater quantities as necessary.
Acting as skillfully as a sculptor, our cells never go too far and cause harmful effects. They do not mistake the shapes and lengths of our bones. Furthermore, they flawlessly calculate when to multiply and when to stop. Think for a moment—what if your finger bones kept growing or your legs got longer and longer? That would be very terrifying, wouldn't it? But this never happens, and all of your bones lengthen exactly as they should. This is one of the clear proofs of the fact that your bone cells act by the inspiration of Allah.
As you can see, all bone cells know very well what to do as well as how and where to do it. The system built for healing our bones works perfectly and enables bones to repair themselves. Scientists have admired this astonishing ability of bones for years.
How did bone cells acquire such an amazing ability, which works totally without the awareness of the person concerned? How do cells know what they need to repair a broken bone and what actions to perform in order to heal it? While some of the cells have acquired the ability to build bones, others have taken on the duty of shaping them. Who assigned them their tasks? How come there is no disorder and how is it that each of them carries out its tasks at the exact moment it is required? Did bone cells learn all these things by themselves?
Surely all these extraordinary tasks cannot be performed by some almost invisible cells' own volition. They could not possibly have learnt them by chance either. Acting by the inspiration of the All-Wise Allah, Who created them, our bone cells can give shape to bones like a skillful sculptor.
Have you ever wondered how body cells form bones?
The shapes of most of the 206 bones in your body are different from each other. This differentiation started when they first emerged, that is, when you were in your mother's womb. Cells, which were gradually increasing in number, took different forms as if each of them had been taught which part of the body it was supposed to constitute.
Some cells branch off to form your bones, some to form your liver, some to form your kidneys and so yet others to form your eyes. But cells that will form the liver, bones or eyes do not merely gather together. They need to branch off even further. For example, bone cells should be aware of the location of the bone that they will form within the body. Then they should go to the correct place accordingly and take the correct form.
The bone cells in your feet act like a professional sculptor and form perfectly curved foot bones with the indentations and projections for the toes. As if they knew the size of the brain, the bone cells forming your skull build a smooth bony skeleton that perfectly encloses the brain. It is neither too small nor too big, so it neither squeezes the brain nor makes it difficult for you to hold your head high.
What is the source of the consciousness of cells, which gives perfect shapes to bones, knowing which form they should take and which tissue they should constitute?
Our Lord inspires this delicate plan in them. Allah's supreme knowledge is pointed out in the following verses:
Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to Him. All are submissive to Him. It is He Who originated creation and then regenerates it. That is very easy for Him. His is the most exalted designation in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.(Surat ar-Rum: 26-27)

Howdy All
Alternate title -- "How an unattended campfire nearly ruined a lovely Fuller ridge hike."
Miracle Marilyn, Sister Sally and I started up the exquisitely beautiful Fuller Ridge trail yesterday morning. The air was crisp, chilly breeze, colors changing to fall. A large group of CCC workers were heading down, carrying backpacks and coolers. At the Fuller ridge/Deer Springs junction we smelled smoke and assumed there were still folks in the CCC camp. Thanks to the cool weather, climbing up to the peak was pleasant. Enjoyed the views and lunch at the summit.
As we approached the Fuller ridge/Deer Springs junction, smoke was blowing across the trail Sally and Marilyn hustled down the slope to investigate. By the time I joined them, they were looking at a VW bus sized unattended campfire (with no fire ring) slowly moving uphill. It appeared that idiots had tried to burn their trash (complete with plastic water bottle and pieces of aluminum foil).When we tried to put dirt on the hot coals and spread then out with rocks, small flames erupted. Sally moved uphill into a clearing to call 911, while Marilyn tried to suppress the uphill movement of the fire by creating a large rock fire break as shown in the photo below.
Sally told the 911 operator the location of fire. By pinging her phone, the operator determined that we were just below the junction of the PCT. Hallelujah! We eagerly waited for a copter. An hour passed. Finally saw one -- the three of us stood in the clearing and signaled (Sally waved her red windbreaker). Copter flew right over us and disappeared. Arrgh! Sally called 911 again -- a different operator said this wasn't her jurisdiction and asked what town we were in We wanted to say, "We're in the Cathedral of the Mountain Goddess -- but SPEFICICALLY near the junction of Fuller Ridge and Deer Springs."
The calls kept dropping, Sally kept calling. Curmudgeon Ellen wanted to descend as we had done our best to contain the fire and contact the authorities. I tried my cell and was able to call the Idylwild Ranger Station phone number on the permit. Got a recording saying, "If this is a FIRE, medical emergency... call 911." We had no shovel and were 15 minutes any from any water source. Even if we had hiked to a creek and back (30 minutes total), we could only carry 9 liters between the three of us. After two hours, we'd had enough and started hiking down. We left a sign on the trail right above the campfire and I set a waypoint on Gaia.
When we were having a late dinner at the Lumber Mill in Idylwild, we were finally able to talk to Matt, the local fire suppression boss (he'd left a message on Sally's phone when she didn't have service). Matt explained that the 911 operators gave him faulty data -- the copter that flew over us was looking for a fire in Round Valley. I e-mailed him the photos and waypoint.
I hope that the idiots who started an illegal fire, did not extinguish it, and endangered the west side of the San Jacinto wilderness are discovered and punished. I am suspicious that the fire was started by persons exiting the CCC camp. Does anyone know if there any oversight of the CCC workers?
Miles of smiles,

This deceptively simple blues song is a masterpiece of restraint and execution. Recorded first in 1964, it features the voice of Muddy Waters and the piano of Otis Spann in call-and-response. Buoyed by composer Willie Dixon's bass, Waters slide guitar speaks only twice in the entire song, with bone-chilling results.
As covered in may previous BTM episodes, Muddy Waters was at the leading edge of the movement that brought country blues to the big cities of the north, where it became electrified. This transformed blues became hugely popular in the 1950's and 60's, and was a huge influence on the Rock era that followed. This is a great live clip of the song with Muddy Waters, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy:
Willie Dixon often released his own versions of songs he had written for people like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. His 1969 recording of "The Same Thing" is almost surprising in its straight-ahead approach, turning it into a more traditional sounding blues, without the sparseness of Waters' original.
The sound of The Allman Brothers Band may have changed since their formation in the late 1960's, but one element has remained consistent – they have always included plenty of blues in their sets. After the death of guitarist Duane Allman in 1971, they continued playing with Dickey Betts handling all the guitar parts, but in the 1990's they added second guitarist Warren Haynes, reviving the dual-guitar sound of the original lineup. Their 1994 live recording of "The Same Thing" features Haynes on lead vocals. Here's a live performance of The Allman Brothers Band performing "The Same Thing" from the early 90's:
Hubert Sumlin will always be remembered for his definitive guitar work with Howlin' Wolf. Though perhaps overshadowed by Wolf's enormous presence, Sumlin created some of the most ingenious guitar parts in the blues on songs like "Smokestack Lightning", "Killing Floor" and "I Ain't Superstitious". His 2003 album About Them Shoes with "The Same Thing" featured an unlikely collaboration with vocalist David Johansen a member of the early NYC punk group New York Dolls. Actually Johansen has always had an affinity for the blues, and the Dolls played material from Bo Diddley and Sonny Boy Williamson.
Here are the complete versions of "The Same Thing" tracked through time:

If people don't want to purchase Twinkies legally, then we must tax them for it. In fact, let's make Google pay Twinkies for everyone someone searches for Twinkies related information.
The internet and connection speeds have a mutual relationship.
As connection speeds increase, the internet grows to fill in around the new standard speeds. As the internet grows, the connection speeds need to be increased. As they are increased, the internet grows.
You only need to look at what the internet was in the early 90s and what it is today.
When we had slow dialup modems, websites were mostly like Geocities. Pictures were smaller, lower resolution because nobody wanted to spend 2 minutes downloading a full page jpeg. Streaming music was in low end midi format.
As our speeds increased, so did our consumption. Webpages blew up, images blew up, music blew up, the dawn of streaming video came upon us.
Who knows what the future of the internet holds? We'll never know if we don't invest in improving our connection speed or if we try to lock it down with rules and regulations.
I wonder how long it will take for them to justify the means by the end result.

Down in his basement laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Donald Sadoway and his students are hunting for the perfect battery. Not for cellphones or laptop computers, but to power a future generation of automobiles or perhaps the electric grid.
To achieve that goal, we will need batteries many times cheaper, safer, more powerful, and more durable than today's best, professor Sadoway says. They must store enough juice to send a car 250 miles on a charge – and cheap enough to store solar or wind power for use at night and in calm periods, he says.
Risky, over-the-horizon research is vital because, although most Americans and politicians don't know it yet, the United States is in a global race to build a new generation of batteries based on lithium-ion technology, Sadoway and others say.
With double the "energy density" of today's standard nickel-metal-hydride batteries, lithium-ion cells have emerged as a viable first-generation battery chemistry to power plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), major announcements this month reveal.
Such a battery is critical to President Obama's energy plan, which includes deploying PHEVs that go 40 miles on a charge in order to replace much of the nation's oil imports with US-generated electricity. As electricity replaces gasoline, the race to develop ever more powerful batteries will determine which nations emerge as winners in transportation, renewable energy, and economic clout, many say.
"We're entering an exciting new phase for the automotive industry where we increase the electrification of vehicles, reducing consumption of gasoline through advanced batteries," David Vieau, president A123Systems in Watertown, Mass., said in a statement this month announcing its plan to build the nation's first lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant.
Yet the US is entering the race late. It must move fast to catch Japan, Korea, and China. Each is pouring billions into lithium research and each already has manufacturing plants.
Still, there are signs the tide may be turning. A123Systems has applied for $1.8 billion in funding from the US Department of Energy to build a lithium battery factory in Detroit big enough to supply a half dozen auto companies and employ 14,000 workers.
Last week, the National Alliance for Advanced Transportation Battery Cell Manufacture, a consortium of more than a dozen US battery developers, announced it was seeking up to $2 billion to fund a major lithium battery manufacturing facility.
"We cannot allow ourselves to become dependent on foreign sources of lithium-ion battery cells as we have become dependent on petroleum from the Middle East," says James Greenberger, the National Alliance's director.Now add the Obama administration's plan to spend $25 billion for new energy programs. All of which is good news to battery researchers like Sadoway, who have long toiled with slender funding as research dollars sluiced to fuel cells, nuclear power, and others with more buzz and backers.
"I applaud the new money going into battery research," Sadoway says. "We've been underspending on something that's vital to our national security and economic well-being."
In the near term, however, the US is playing catch-up. For more than a year, General Motors has said it hopes to launch the world's first mass-produced PHEV, the Chevrolet Volt, in 2010. But until recently, GM executives had been damping expectations, saying a battery with the right performance and cost still didn't exist.
That changed last week when GM named LG Chem, a Korean company, as the lithium-ion battery cell supplier for the Volt. It is also working with A123Systems, officials say. Not to be outdone, Toyota announced it would sell some PHEVs with lithium batteries late this year.
"When we introduced this [Chevrolet Volt] concept not long ago, it seemed to resonate," says Robert A. Kruse, GM's executive director of global vehicle engineering for hybrids, electric vehicles, and batteries. "We said, 'Hey, we've got to figure out how to do this. The battery didn't exist. We went through a very elaborate search of cell chemistry and construction." (For the full interview with Mr. Kruse, click here.)
Finding the right battery recipe
The beauty of lithium-ion is there's not one single chemical, but many variants involved. As a result, the race isn't over making a Chevy Volt battery designed to run 40 miles on a single charge that could cost as much as $10,000. Instead engineers hope to create a cell that could last perhaps 80 miles per charge and cost half as much, battery experts say.
"There aren't any showstoppers," Sadoway says. "We're not asking for light to travel 10 times faster than it can go. We're not asking for science fiction. Most remaining problems involve engineering. So I'm optimistic that these problems that remain can be solved."
Still, he worries the US and the rest of the world could become "hooked on lithium" just like oil, since places including China and South America have the richest lithium deposits. So down in his lab, Sadoway's students are exploring "earth abundant" compounds other than lithium.
The LG Chem lithium-ion cell is reportedly based on manganese. But other flavors of lithium-ion are emerging, too.
A123Systems' lithium cell, for instance, is an iron-phosphate variety that's said to be very safe and stable, a key attribute.
"By tinkering with the materials involved, one can address the various challenges. And that's what we're seeing now," says Jim Miller, a senior electrochemical engineer involved in battery research at Argonne National Laboratory, which is providing research support to the National Alliance.
Safety and cost remain top concerns, however. Lithium-ion batteries using cobalt chemistry, popularly used in laptop computers and cellphones, have in the past shown a propensity to overheat, resulting in a few laptops going up in flames.
That must not happen in a car, all agree. So while the search goes on for a powerful but stable and reliable battery chemistry, automakers are developing sophisticated battery management systems to monitor lithium cells for signs of impending failure. GM announced last week it will make its own computer-monitored pack to hold the LG Chem cells.
"There's many layers of safety built into the Volt, that includes all the way down to the cell level," Kruse says.
Cost is critical
Kruse won't say whether the $10,000 price tag for the batteries floating around the media is correct. If so, the 16 kilowatt-hours (kWh) worth of energy in the GM battery pack would put the price at $625 per kwh of capacity. But the cost of the Chevy Volt battery should drop sharply once production ramps up, several experts say.
"Right now the price [for lithium PHEV batteries] is beyond what is required for a sustainable business," says Ann Marie Sastry, a University of Michigan battery materials expert. "But automotive companies are going to take the risks and assume that [government] policies will help out."
General Motors has talked about a $40,000 price tag for the Volt. That may be too costly for most Americans. The Obama administration has talked about a $7,500 tax break for PHEV buyers.
Still others say that the cost of new battery power for PHEVs may drop faster and already be lower than what has been widely reported at perhaps $500 per kilowatt-hour or even less, says Suba Arunkumar, analyst for market researcher Frost & Sullivan.
"I do expect the price will come down to perhaps as low as $200 per kilowatt-hour when mass production begins in 2010 and 2011," she says.
With steady progress on all four fronts of lithium-ion cells – cost, safety, durability, and performance – Matthew Keyser, a battery researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., says attention is flowing to riskier, longer-term battery research of the sort "more likely to one-day produce a kind of Holy Grail battery."
All batteries degrade with time. Right now, the Volt's new battery is expected to last five to eight years. But with a typical car's lifetime now about 17 years, automakers want a "life of the car" battery. With proper research funding, that goal is achievable, Mr. Keyser and Sadoway agree. The next generation of battery materials – perhaps vanadium oxide or nickelates – will lower costs by increasing capacity, they say.
"What we've done is to create a situation with a lot of people who smell big money and they're working very hard," says John Goodenough, the University of Texas at Austin professor who invented the lithium-ion battery. "I'm optimistic that in a few years, they're going to lick the problem."
[Editors note: The original version of this article misstated which regions of the world hold large deposits of lithium. China and South America sit on two of the largest caches.]

Sinovel along with two of its employees and a former-employee of an AMSC subsidiary were charged with stealing trade secrets from AMSC, causing an alleged loss of more than $800 million to the company. The maximum penalty is twice that loss for each of the three counts in the indictment, giving a total of up to $4.8 billion.
The individuals named in the indictment returned by a federal grand jury in the Western District of Wisconsin yesterday are Su Liying, Sinovel's research and development department deputy director; Zhao Haichun, a technology manager for Sinovel; and Dejan Karabasevic, a former employee of AMSC's Austrian subsidiary AMSC Windtec.
Each faces one count of conspiracy to commit trade secret theft, theft of trade secrets and wire fraud.
The indictment alleges that Sinovel, through Su and Zhao, recruited Karabasevic to leave AMSC Windtec and join Sinovel, and to secretly copy intellectual property from the AMSC computer system. The four defendants are charged with stealing the source code for AMSC's PM3000 software, a part of AMSC's wind turbine electrical control system from AMSC on 7 March 2011, and transmitting it by downloading it from an AMSC computer in Wisconsin, US to a computer in Klagenfurt, Austria.
If convicted, Su, Zhao and Karabasevic each face a maximum penalty of five years in prison on the conspiracy charge, ten years in prison for theft of a trade secret and 20 years in prison for wire fraud.
Karabasevic has already been convicted by an Austrian court after admitting selling the company's technical secrets to Sinovel, a claim that Sinovel denies. Karabasevic served a 12-month jail sentence following the 2011 conviction and was released from prison in October 2012.
The charges against Karabasevic, Sinovel and its two employees were returned following an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which found evidence that AMSC's PM3000 software code had been used in four 1.5MW Sinovel turbines that had been installed in the Massachusetts towns of Charlestown, Fairhaven, and Scituate.
"The Sinovel case is a classic example of the growing insider threat facing our nation's corporations and their intellectual property," said FBI executive assistant director Richard McFeely.
"The FBI will not stand by and watch the haemorrhage of US intellectual property to foreign countries who seek to gain an unfair advantage for their military and their industries."
AMSC is currently pursuing Sinovel through the Chinese courts for up to $1.2 billion of damages. However, AMSC president and CEO Daniel P McGahn said yesterday's charges from the US Department of Justice only underlined that his company's case was not being taken seriously in China.
"In the EU, our former employee confessed to collusion with Sinovel, was convicted and jailed for his crimes," said McGahn.
"In the US, the Department of Justice has indicted Sinovel. In China, however, the legal system has yet to take substantive action. We believe this clearly demonstrates that the rights of foreign businesses are not being protected. The inability to rely on the rule of law is creating a risk for US businesses operating in China."
Sinovel and its two indicted employees, and Karabasevic, have yet to comment on the charges issued by the Department of Justice yesterday.

The Environmental Engineering and Permitting Division encourages the use of energy efficient appliances in our community because Energy Efficiency Makes ¢ent$.
Most people associate refrigerators, washing machines and clothes dryers as being appliances that consume large amounts of energy. But even small appliances can waste a lot of energy. These "energy hogs" are collectively consuming more energy than ever before.
Examples include:
Full list of "energy hogs"
CFLs use considerably less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs, which are actually banned in Europe and soon to be phased out in the United States, thanks to the landmark Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
An ENERGY STAR-qualified CFL will save about $30 over its lifetime and pay for itself in about 6 months, while using 75 percent less energy and lasts about 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb.
The trick with air filters is to clean or change them frequently so your air conditioning unit doesn't have to work as hard to pump air through your home. A clean air filter lets your air conditioning breathe, improves air quality and reduces the amount of energy consumed to distribute cool air.
While cheap, 30-day filters can be purchased just about anywhere for a couple of dollars and change, a three-month pleated filter will cost you just a few dollars more. A filter's Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating tells you about the product's efficiency: the higher the MERV number, the more efficient the filter.
Unplugging unused appliances is a great way to cut back on what's known as vampire or stand-by power, which accounts for about five percent of all residential electricity use.
A power strip helps you unplug your items in one fell swoop – which is an energy and time saver. Power strips range in price but you can find one for under $15 at your local hardware store.
You can buy a pack of 10 for under $5, and they will help insulate your building envelope in the areas around light switches and plug outlets on exterior walls. Plus, they take less than a minute to install.
Step up your energy-saving game with a low-flow showerhead and save water and energy. ENERGY STAR estimates that a 2.5 gallon-per-minute (low-flow) showerhead uses about 25 gallons of water during a 10-minute shower, saving you about five gallons of water over a typical bath, not to mention about $145 each year on electricity. There are a range of showerheads on the market, so you shouldn't have a problem finding one that fits your budget – and your bathroom décor.
All of these items are readily available at local hardware stores and can even be found in convenience, drug, and grocery stores.

DFSORT Sorting Without Sorting Header / Trailer Lines
MartinPacker 11000094DH Comments (3) Visits (17705)
For whoever got to my blog with this Google search here's how you sort data without a header: First you need to be using z/OS DFSORT Release 10 or to have applied the PTFs for UK90013 (July 2008). Second, the vehicle for doing this is ICETOOL rather than DFSORT itself. Use the new DATASORT operator. Here's an example: If you code DATASORT FROM(DD1) TO(DD) FIRST(3) USING(CTL1) and code a CTL1CNTL... [More]

In this example I've made some attempt to make the output pretty - by creating a HTML table. Below is the SYSIN you need to parse the <SchedulingEnvironment> elements. I'm assuming you know how to...

Exclusive: Injured officer remembers little about crash
Mother of officer talks with KCCI
A Des Moines police officer is back in intensive care after being hit by a vehicle on Sunday.
Officer Candace Lassiter was called to 30th Street near the VA hospital during a storm when an SUV lost control and hit her.
KCCI's Emily Price spoke exclusively with her mother on Tuesday.
"It's almost the call that you hate to get -- she was at the hospital and had been hit and obviously had damage," said Rosemary Parson.
Her daughter is in critical condition. The driver of the SUV was cited with failure to maintain his vehicle.
"I think we really have to think, 'Is that minute, hour, worth risking your life or someone else's life in the big scheme of things?'" said Parson.
Lassiter did not suffer any broken bones but did suffer tissue damage and intense pain.
"She was experiencing excruciating pain and the management of that pain was a priority because the pain from this type of incident is beyond description. Her head hit pretty severely -- and obviously there is swelling so we are taking it day by day right now," said Parson.
The head trauma means Lassiter remembers very little about what happened.
"She is really struggling on putting the pieces together. Today she knows something very serious has occurred," her mother said.
Very serious, but her mom doubts it's enough to keep her from heading back out onto the streets again.
"Nothing keeps Candace down for long," Parson said.
Lassiter is able to talk a little. In fact her mother said she's the one who told her to come do this interview so that her mother could thank fellow officers and the hospital staff who are helping her.
At this point doctors are not sure how long Lassiter will be hospitalized; they're just trying to get the pain under control.

Today I decided to try Nano 5.6.6, and ran across some interesting niggles regarding path-to-perl handling:
-- I think it is fine to leave the perl libs out of the new release, but a little readme in the /usr folder giving a url to the download would be helpful.
-- Apollo recognizes the generic /usr/bin/perl path. Nano doesn't; it needs /UniServer/usr/bin/perl which is localized. Problem: Someone used to uploading to CVS straight from Uniform Server is going to get a lot of complaints if one doesn't remember to go through the scripts and edit the shebangs. Can Nano be told to accept the generic path?
-- The shebang fixer in the new version is a nice touch, but it is too hungry. It must match #! only at the beginning of a string. For instance, a perl script might contain a conditional that begins like
if (/^#! ([A-Z]+) (.+)/) {but the shebang fixer changes it to
if (/^#!G:/UniServer/usr/bin/perl.exewhich of course throws an exception next time the sub is loaded.
-- As a courtesy, Nano should save an original copy of any file it changes.
I like the new version and interface. Lots of improvements and new looks.

Shriner�s Sudan Cart Caravan sponsors family
Members of the Lenoir County Shrine Club�s Sudan Cart Caravan sponsored a family for Christmas. The members of the family include three children who would not have been able to have a joyful Christmas this year without community help. Members of the unit purchased winter coats and toys for the children.
While the members were preparing for the Kinston Christmas Parade, they were informed of another child who was in need of help for Christmas, and they donated more than $100 on the spot.
The Sudan Cart Caravan is a unit formed more than 10 years ago. They have 14 identical golf carts and ride in numerous local parades to raise awareness for the Shriners Hospitals for Children. They have donated more than $20,000 to the hospital through the years. Their motto is �Carting for the Kids.�
Hill addresses Kinston Host Lions Club
On Nov. 8, Detective Chris Hill spoke to the members of the Kinston Host Lions Club regarding the new jail in Lenoir County.
The new jail is built to hold 500 inmates eventually, but will be equipped to hold 200 when it opens. The old jail will be kept open and used to house inmates from other counties, providing revenue to Lenoir County. The talk was interesting and informative with a slideshow of the new facility and lots of questions and answers.
The Kinston Host Lions meet at 6:50 p.m. second and fourth Thursdays at the Folded Napkin. For more information about the club, call 252-523-1019.

As you may have noticed, the C:V:E webportal somehow crashed and had to be built anew from bottom up. Most of the catalogue is now back online.
In other news, the long-delayed 0 X í S T debut album "Nil" suffers yet another obstacle due to a manufacturing error. It is to re-pressed soon.
The SAISON DE ROUILLE "Caduta Dei Gravi" debut LP, released in September, is however finally available from C:V:E. Description below, and listening preview here:
SAISON DE ROUILLE Caduta Dei Gravi LP
-Created before the demise of DANISHMENDT, SAISON DE ROUILLE seems nevertheless irrevocably linked to its ashes. Autocratically led by the iron fist of Karl, the congregants of Rust display brooding soundscapes oscillating between Martial Industrial, Noisecore, no-wave and other experiments. Its heavy base leaves room for twisted arrangements, under the umbrage of Karls sour proclamations. This record is co-produced by C:V:E, HCB Records, Ocinatas Industries, OPN records, Kaosthetic Konspiration and Le Crépuscule du Soir Productions. Comes on a beautiful 12" housed in a superb sleeve included insert and poster. 10 plus shipping.
As a reminder, the MANIPULATOR "Voidbound" cassette was recently released.
1389 Windhorst MC
-Sloppy NSBM from Bosnia. -3
THE AUSTRASIAN GOAT Paved Intentions Double LP
-Newest album from the solitary beast, still treading unorthodox paths, leaving doubt behind to be at one with overwhelming bitterness and darkness. Martial and eerie neo/folk, paving the path towards the End. -16
CORVUS / PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS Broken Spheres Split EP
-Supreme Black Metal from Australia, highly recommended. (Import item) -6
THE GREAT TYRANT Theres a Man in the House LP
-Pre-PINKISH BLACK trio of bleak, Doom-laden and psychedelic synth-driven gothic rock. Highly recommended (Import item) -12
NORMAN SHORES Return to the Norman Shores MC
-Glacial Black Metal from Normandie. Heralding the French might of KRISTALLNACHT and other proud countrymen. -3
ÖRDÖG The Art of Nihilism CD
-Compilation of the demonstration tapes. Elitist French Black Metal, celebrating the Fall. -8

The curse of 0 X í S T ends as their debut album "Nil" is finally available, copies will be ready to ship next week:
0 X í S T - "Nil" CD

Austin Dillon needs a NASCAR legacy independent of the No. 3
Numbers tell stories. When I see 23, I don't see of the number that comes between 22 and 24.
I see Michael Jordan, No. 23 of the Chicago Bulls. He's dunking from the free-throw line. He's hitting another improbable three against Portland. He's ruining another Cleveland postseason. He's guarding Magic Johnson after Magic has been diagnosed with the AIDS virus, at the All-Star game in Orlando, with other players stepping aside to let the great ones work.
When I see 3, I don't see the number that comes between 2 and 4.
I see Dale Earnhardt driving the 3 to another victory and another championship. He's filling the rearview mirror of the temporary leader. Earnhardt is spinning the guy and, beneath his mustache, grinning. The 3 is a beacon to working-class fan because it belongs to, despite Earnhardt's riches, one of the last of the working-class drivers.
Earnhardt won seven championships, six in the 3 car. Jordan won six NBA championships.
Chicago retired Jordan's 23 in 1994 (after Jordan retired for the first time).
NASCAR ought to retire Earnhardt's No. 3 before the 2014 season begins.
Richard Childress, who owns the number, unfortunately will bring it back. He had said he'd allow only a member of Earnhardt's family or of his own to sport the number. Next season Childress's grandson, Austin Dillon, will drive the 3.
Dillon appears to be a talent, a champion in the Truck Series and Nationwide Series. Like Earnhardt, Dillon is from North Carolina. (Dillon is from Lewisville.) And he's only 23.
But even if Dillon becomes a star, why not allow him to forge his own legacy with his own number? Can you imagine another Chicago Bull wearing 23?
Dale Earnhardt died in a wreck on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, and the 3 also expired. It became 29.
Childress is a classy guy who has done everything a man can do in racing, and it's tough to imagine anybody more loyal to Earnhardt and the Earnhardt legacy.
I like and respect Childress. I don't like what he's doing.
Of course some fans will be thrilled next season when the 3 takes a lead or takes no prisoners, when it wins a race or spins a driver.
Go to any NASCAR race and, almost 13 years after Earnhardt's death, 3 caps and T-shirts still are abundant. Maybe the return of the 3 will create a huge demand among new fans, however many there are, who are close to Dillon's age.
But when other fans see the 3, sadness will overtake them. For them, only one man drove the 3 car, and only one man ever will.
Why do we retire numbers?
We retire them out of respect for the man or woman who wore it on a jersey, or the side of a car.
The act says to an athlete: "You're singular. Nobody will do what you did the way you did it. Let it be known now that the number is forever yours. And every time people see it, they will think of you."
I don't know Dillon, but if he's anything like his grandfather, I hope he has a fine career.
No matter how good he is the 3 will continue to tell me a story.
And it won't be his.

All in the Family
Our understanding of the family unit is often deeply rooted within our personal, political, and cultural backgrounds. Families often share similar characteristics, but no two are the same. Intertwining traditions, places, roles, relationships, generations, and hierarchies--notions of the family abound. Indeed, it is a social construct; perpetuating but never fully realizing its own ideological fantasy.
While the nuclear family fantasy may remain, the reality is disconnected from it. Heteronormative traditions are questioned. Kinship, shared experiences, care, and a feeling of belonging have come to overlook the requirement of blood relations. An alternative family network emerges through friendships, or in spaces where individuals share an intense proximity. Families no longer look like their glossy representations in visual culture.
Photography and the family traditionally convene in the family album. A treasured artifact, it is the realm in which stories and collective identities are made, often built on optimistic selections over best-forgotten memories. In ignoring the undesirable, the family album displays the highlights of family life, but can only tell a half-truth.
The relocation of photographs from the album's private sphere into a public place initiates a change in meaning. In the gallery, we read the space between the lines, without the nostalgia attached to our own family albums. Indeed, its very placement in the gallery implicitly encourages critical reflection.
All in the Family considers how photographers in the Winnipeg Art Gallery's collection approach this social group. United by their interest in the human connection, the artists reflect on and often use the familial sphere as a springboard to examine other concerns. In doing so, they reveal images that construct, reinforce and also confront family ideologies, but cannot represent or define them. They invite our curiosity and toy with our own expectations, as viewers of images, Gallery visitors, and family members.
Artists such as Sheila Spence, Diana Thorneycroft and Rosalie Favell examine the formation of identity in relation to family. Shared experiences bond the photographic subjects of Brent Hume, Thelma Pepper and Michael Klein, where biology may not. Donigan Cumming, George Hunter and Don Hall consider the charged spaces in which families inhabit, and the duty of care is questioned in Barbara Cole, Becky Singleton and John Massey's images. By reframing the family and the family album's nostalgic half-truths, they remind us of photography's own fallacies and fictions.

W September 2011 Issue Preview [Pictures]
A Preview of W's September Issue — Edward Enninful and Lori Goldstein's First
W September 2011
>> W's September 2011 issue — which marks Edward Enninful's first full issue as the magazine's fashion and style director and Lori Goldstein's as style editor-at-large — doesn't hit newsstands until Aug. 23, but we've got a preview of its innards. Goldstein works with Guinevere van Seenus on a colorful, jewelry-centric spread; Mario Sorrenti captures Sasha Pivovarova and Freja Beha Erichsen in a comic book-bright piece; and Edward Enninful transforms Kristen Stewart into a bombshell for the issue's cover.
Among the September issue's other highlights: Steven Klein photographs Amber Valletta evolving from 20 to 120 years old with the help of prosthetic makeup; Tim Blanks profiles Phoebe Philo; Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott snap a fetishistic spread — with Lara Stone, Joan Smalls, and Tao Okamoto — inspired by Helmut Newton and The Night Porter; and Enninful, Steven Meisel, and makeup artist Pat McGrath collaborate on "Transformers," featuring models turned into heroines from the past. Think Linda Evangelista as Zizi Jeanmaire, Karen Elson as Judy Garland, Raquel Zimmermann as Babe Paley, and Jessica Stam as Gala Dali.
Gallery is NSFW.</p>
