The log cabin is as much an image as it is a building. It evokes thoughts of maple syrup and the American frontier. It is an important setting in the stories of real and fictional people such as Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Boone, and Uncle Tom. Perhaps because of this, people give the log cabin a status no other type of house enjoys. Demolitions of 200-year-old houses suddenly stop when logs are discovered. The reality is more complex than the popular image of the log cabin in a small clearing. Log houses range from crude huts to fancy plantation houses. City houses, churches, jails, and courthouses were also built of logs. This essay addresses the complexities of the log cabin through a focus on the earliest log houses in Kentucky, and serves as an introduction to the origins, construction, forms, finish, and furnishing of log houses in the frontier and early statehood period, about 1770-1800.
Sources for the Study of Early Log Houses in Kentucky
Very few of the earliest log houses in Kentucky survive. The log houses we see now tend to be the best built ones, and those of later dates. Because house builders had long careers, and house types change slowly over time, later log buildings do offer us some information about the earlier houses. We can also learn more from archaeological investigations. Finally, we have documentary sources such as letters, drawings, contracts, and memoirs. A lot of research remains to be done, but with current knowledge, we do have some pretty clear ideas about the early log house.
The Origins of the Log House on the Kentucky Frontier
By the middle of the eighteenth century, the lack of available land in the colonies prompted people to look West towards territory occupied by Native Americans. Explorers began entering Kentucky in the 1750’s, and by the late 1770’s, European Americans, and to some extent, African Americans began moving to the area in large numbers. These colonists brought their ideas of what a house should be. These ideas varied depending on their backgrounds. In a similar way, the immigrants who colonized America in the seventeenth century brought house concepts from their countries of origin with them to the New World. However, house types had already changed in the colonies as people adapted to their new surroundings. Swedes, Finns, Germans, and other Continental Europeans brought over log building technology. The English, who didn’t build in log at home, quickly adopted the technique. Log building was well established by the time homesteaders began migrating to Kentucky in the 1770’s-1790’s, and was most common in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas, the source regions of most of Kentucky’s pioneers.
When they first arrived, most homesteaders kept their shelter expectations low. Establishing a farmstead on the frontier required a carefully planned and executed strategy. Building a fancy house was rarely the first thing they did. After arriving, preferably in the early spring, the pioneers began work to “improve” their land. The first task was to cut down trees, both to clear land and provide building materials. They chopped down the trees with axes (a vital tool) or girdled them (cutting a ring through the bark to kill the tree). Then there were fences to put up, fields to plow and plant, domestic animals to raise, and a house to build and furnish. The first dwelling on a site was often a simple lean-to or hut of stacked logs that could be partially dug into a hillside, or built quickly with a post-in-the-ground frame (figure 1a). Some of these structures may have been covered with bark or animal skins, taking cues from Native American dwellings. Homesteaders used such lean-tos for short periods while surveying or clearing land and building a better cabin. After they built a more substantial cabin, the old shelter could be dismantled or kept for an animal pen or storage shed.
What little we do know about the early temporary structures comes from brief descriptions in documentary records. These shelters are similar to those the first colonists built when they landed in coastal areas a century and a half earlier. William Sudduth, interviewed in the 1840’s, remembered two such structures. The first “was a cabbin raised & covered at Maysville without either being chinked, daubed, or a fire place in it,” where the family stayed for a short time at their point of entry into Kentucky. This was probably much like the log cabin in figure 1b. The second building Sudduth describes is the “camp,” a lean-to structure typical of first shelters on a homestead, which he says was “about 8 feet wide and 10 feet deep, covered over with puncheons & built up on three sides with logs.” This was similar to the lean-to shown in (figure 1a). Puncheons are thick, hand-split and unfinished boards.
Settlers usually built a single-pen log cabin for their first shelter after a lean-to. This would be one square or rectangular box (figure 1b) of stacked logs with a gable roof. Pens could be square or rectangular, and could range in size from 12 feet square to 20 x 24 feet. It typically had no weatherboarding or window glass, but may have had a stick and mud chimney. The poorest quality ones would have round logs and a dirt floor, with no fireplace like Sudduth’s cabin in Maysville. The pioneers could build such rough cabins themselves with a few simple tools. They lived in such cabins for the first year or two. As soon as possible, the homesteaders built a more substantial structure with hewn logs and a wood floor, such as the cabin shown in figure 2. This house could be improved in the coming years through additions of siding, windows, interior plaster, and enlargements such as a porch, lean-to, ell, (ells are rear additions perpendicular to the main building) or the attachment of another pen. The first crude log cabin could be retained as an attached or freestanding kitchen, slave house, laundry, barn, smoke house, or a workshop.
The popular image of the settler building a house with an ax and no nails probably has its origins in the crude first cabins. The typical house, however, required the labors of a professional builder, and possibly a mason as well. These builders used an extensive array of tools, and manufactured articles such as nails, glass, hardware, and bricks. Period records of professional builders are scant, but we know that pioneers set up varying professional trades as soon as possible. Builders looking for work saw the fast-growing frontier as a land of opportunity, as did the farmers looking for quality land. The best evidence of the building profession is in the buildings themselves. The average farmer did not have the skills or the tools needed to make window sash, join a mantle, dovetail corner joints, or frame a staircase. So he turned to the skills of carpenters and masons, paying in several forms of currency or cash equivalents (such as tobacco or whiskey) or even bartering for their services. The farmer, his family, and slaves all could contribute labor to the project of building a house, but the builder took responsibility for its design and construction.
In many cases, the first professionally built house was also replaced once again after some time by a more substantial dwelling, preferably one of frame or masonry construction. The first house could be incorporated into the new house, or left freestanding for use as an outbuilding or slave house. In some cases, it was demolished for building materials. Where very early log houses do survive to the present, they are usually enclosed within the later additions of a larger house or even a barn.

Labeling for Topically Applied Cosmetic Products Containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids as Ingredients
This guidance represents the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) current thinking on this topic. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if the approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. If you want to discuss an alternative approach, contact the FDA staff responsible for implementing this guidance. If you cannot identify the appropriate FDA staff, call the appropriate telephone number listed on the title page of this guidance.
I. Introduction
FDA has considered evidence that suggests that topically applied cosmetic products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) as ingredients may increase the sensitivity of skin to the sun while the products are used and for up to a week after use is stopped, and that this increased skin sensitivity to the sun may increase the possibility of sunburn. The purpose of this guidance is to educate consumers about the potential for increased skin sensitivity to the sun from the topical use of cosmetics containing AHAs as ingredients and to educate manufacturers to help ensure that their labeling for cosmetic products containing AHAs as ingredients is not false or misleading. As an interim measure, while FDA continues to review the data on AHAs to address the potential for this increased skin sensitivity to the sun, FDA is recommending that the labeling of a cosmetic product that contains an AHA as an ingredient and that is topically applied to the skin or mucous membrane bear a statement that conveys the following information. The information in the AHA labeling statement is consistent with FDA's current thinking on sun protection.
Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.
Alpha hydroxy acids are organic acids with a hydroxyl group on the carbon adjacent to the carboxylic acid group. The predominant AHAs present in cosmetic products are glycolic acid and lactic acid. Other AHAs used in cosmetic products include citric acid, ?-hydroxyoctanoic acid, and hydroxydecanoic acid (Reference 1).
Starting in 1994, the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association's Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel, FDA's AHA Review Committee, and FDA reviewed the safety of topically applied AHAs in cosmetic products (References 2 through 4). The reviewers evaluated human clinical studies that investigated the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the skin after exposure to AHAs. The studies demonstrated that topically applied AHAs increase skin sensitivity to UV radiation during application and that this increased skin sensitivity to UV radiation diminishes after discontinuing application for a week.
Sensitivity to UV radiation is the main reason for the skin's sensitivity to the sun (Reference 5). Short-term exposure to the sun may cause sunburn and chronic long-term exposure to the sun may increase risk of premature skin aging (Reference 5). Experimental and epidemiological studies have demonstrated that prolonged exposure to the UV radiation in sunlight is a primary risk factor for certain types of skin cancer (References 6 through 8).
The human clinical studies reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel, FDA's AHA Review Committee, and FDA provided data for the effects of UV radiation on the skin after short-term (up to 12 weeks) topical exposure to AHAs. The evidence from the clinical studies suggests that increased skin sensitivity to UV radiation may increase the possibility of sunburn for consumers. Adverse experience reports by consumers of increased sunburn after AHA use support this conclusion (Reference 2). The increased skin sensitivity to UV radiation also may result in other harmful effects to the skin, but the data currently available to FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) are still inconclusive on this point at this time.
This guidance applies to cosmetic products that contain an AHA as an ingredient and that are intended for topical application to the skin or mucous membrane. Most AHAs used as cosmetic ingredients are formulated into products that are intended for topical application to the skin or mucous membrane.
Certain products may not be intended for topical application of AHAs to parts of the skin or mucous membrane that are exposed to the sun, but such application may be unintentional (e.g., shampoos, deodorants). This guidance also applies to cosmetic products that contain an AHA as an ingredient and that are intended for application to areas of the body that may result in unintentional topical application to the skin or mucous membrane that are exposed to the sun.
However, AHAs can be present in cosmetic products that are applied to areas of the body that are not sun exposed (e.g., mouthwashes, breath fresheners, and douches). This guidance does not apply to cosmetic products that contain an AHA as an ingredient and that are intended for application to non-sun exposed areas of the body.
AHAs can be present in products that also are labeled to contain a sunscreen. This guidance does not apply to drug-cosmetic products that contain an AHA as an ingredient and also are labeled to contain a sunscreen for sun protection. FDA intends to address labeling for such products in a future document.
AHAs can be present in cosmetic products as incidental ingredients. As defined in section 701.3(l) of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR 701.3(l)), incidental ingredients are ingredients that are present in a cosmetic at insignificant levels and that have no technical or functional effect in the cosmetic. Incidental ingredients are not required to be declared in the ingredient lists on the labels of cosmetic packages. This guidance does not apply to cosmetic products that contain an AHA as an incidental ingredient.
FDA's guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the agency's current thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word should in agency guidances means that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.
America Supports You: Artist Brightens Day at Naval Hospital
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2005 – A well-known artist visiting the nation's capital for the dedication of the "Extra Mile" monument celebrating volunteers went an extra mile himself last week.
Thomas Kinkade -- known as the "Painter of Light" for his depictions of light-filled buildings -- and his wife, Nanette, visited with nine servicemembers recovering from injuries at the National Naval Medical Center, in Bethesda, Md. The United Service Organizations helped arrange the visit and accompanied the Kinkades.
"It was the highlight of our trip. We visited with nine (servicemembers), and the stories we heard were amazing," the artist said.
While talking with the servicemembers, Kinkade told American Forces Press Service in a telephone interview, he met a Marine who had received a Thomas Kinkade pocket watch from his mother. Though the guys in his unit gave him good-natured grief for his use of the rather old-fashioned timepiece, it was the first thing they looked for after their Humvee was hit by an improvised explosive device.
"The driver lost control and ... (the Marine) was ejected from the Humvee. It literally rolled over him and rolled into the canal. The backpack he was wearing got ejected off his back and went into the canal," he said. "Once he shook off the dust and looked around, he saw his guys jumping up off the ground and jumping into the canal, trying to get his backpack."
They never did find that keepsake, but Kinkade has made arrangements to replace it for the Marine, who suffered a broken hip in the incident.
After visiting the injured servicemembers, Kinkade said their desire to return to their units inspired him to continue what he's doing to try to bring some joy to servicemembers.
"I have a vision, as yet unrealized, that I want to find a way to send a miniature copy of 'Heading Home' to every soldier serving overseas," he said. "We can take this painting and send it as a gift from an artist who has not been there physically, but I'm with those guys in spirit."
A piece of that spirit will now hang in the reception area at the Bethesda facility, as Kinkade donated a copy of "Heading Home" to the medical center. The painting depicts an American servicemember walking into an "ethereal" background, he said.
The nondescript background is not the result of a lack of inspiration, the artist explained. Years ago, Kinkade painted a piece called "Coming Home," which depicted a soldier coming home for Christmas.
"I took the same soldier from that painting and recreated him in a setting much more ethereal so that it wasn't a specific home because people come home to all sorts of homes," he said. "You see the soldier walking into the field of mist, and ... it could ... suggest the homecoming of soldiers who pay the ultimate price overseas or it could be the soldier who is coming home to a future -- his future -- which is always a mystery."
Kinkade said he developed a great reverence for servicemembers early on. His father was in the Army during World War II and never lost touch with the men in his unit. It was this bond that drove the artist to reach out to servicemembers.
"As an artist, I've always thought there might be a way to link whatever talents God had given me to the armed services to provide inspiration and help to those who serve," he said.
His painting "Heading Home" has done that. He has a stack of letters as testimony that his art has been sent far and wide to servicemembers as reminders from loved ones that they will be coming home. That show of support from back home is crucial, he said. Americans' support of the troops reaffirms the validity of their fight for freedom, he said.
"Peace and safety go hand in hand. The joy of living is the joy of freedom. Without freedom, there is no joy in life," he said. "I paint a world free from war, free from terrorism, free from fear and hatred and anger. The world I paint, I think it's very affirming of the beliefs of people in this country and of the servicepeople who are overseas waging a war to protect those beliefs."
"The Extra Mile -- Points of Light Volunteer Pathway" is a new monument dedicated to the spirit of service in America, according to the monument's Web site. A series of bronze medallions forming a one-mile walking path honors the heroes of volunteerism. The monument is just blocks from the White House.

Wildlife Research Using GPS Tracking
Since GPS telemetry for wildlife is relatively new, most studies have involved testing the reliability and accuracy of the equipment in varying environments and applications. Performance of various GPS collars have been tested for moose (Rempel et al. 1995; Moen et al. 1996; Rodgers et al. 1996; Dussault et al. 1999), white-tailed deer (Merrill et al. 1998; Bowman et al. 2000), and wolves (Merrill et al. 1998; Merrill and Mech 2000; Merrill 2002). The collars have functioned well, especially the most recent versions, which can be placed on an animal when it is most easily captured and can be programmed to begin duty cycling some months later (Nelson and Mech submitted).
No doubt, tests of GPS technology for wildlife will continue since new products are still rapidly forthcoming. For example, recent weight decreases have made remote-data-downloading GPS collars available for use on wolf-sized animals. Furthermore, with the establishment of baseline accuracies and statistically appropriate research applications, along with increased awareness of the potential for highly accurate data, increasing numbers of studies using GPS telemetry can be expected. Also, the cost should eventually decline to a more affordable level. Improvements such as these will hasten the use of GPS for a greater range of species.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NYS MUSEUM PLANS FAMILY FUN WEEKEND FOR MAY 5- 6
Albany, New York -- 04/26/07
ALBANY, NY – Joan Steiner’s “Look-Alikes’’ will be the theme of the New York State
Museum’s next Family Fun Weekend May 5 and 6.
Family Fun Weekend, presented by Fidelis Care, takes place from 1- 4 p.m. both
days. Activities, which are free of charge, are held mostly in Bird Hall, on the Museum’s
first floor.
The program coincides with the opening on Saturday, May 5 of Steiner’s new
exhibition at the State Museum – Look-Alikes: The Amazing World of Joan Steiner. A
Hudson artist, Steiner uses everyday objects to create three-dimensional dioramas in
which the objects themselves become hidden. Her books “Look-Alikes’’ invite readers to
locate the familiar items -- a pretzel, coin or zipper -- from within the scenes she creates
of a park, ice cream shop or zoo. Adults and children often find that the search becomes
habit forming.
At 1 p.m. Saturday, Steiner will present a 30-minute slide show in South Hall and
will be available to greet visitors after that. At 2 p.m. Saturday Lou Pollack, a
-more-
-2-
designer-illustrator from Bearsville, will talk and demonstrate how to make a picture
book. Children will be able to make their own book to take home.
Throughout the day on Sunday artists represented by “The Bad as Art Gallery,’’ based
in Albany, will present an interactive illustration workshop. The gallery promotes fair
trade sales of fine art crafts, created by artists from 28 second and third-world countries.
Albany-area artists who will participate in Sunday’s program include Dave Geurin, Heidi
Weinman, Lisa McLain, Stephen Mead and Marcus K. Anderson.
Throughout the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday, visitors will be able to make their
own “Look-Alike” picture collage by choosing from hundreds of pictures from
magazines. They can also make a craft straight from Steiner’s “Look-Alike’’ bookS,
use lollipops and “Bugle” snacks to create an elf and participate in a “Look-Alike”
scavenger hunt and win a prize. Family Fun activity packets also will be distributed.
Family Fun Weekends, presented by Fidelis Care, offer theme-based family activities,
on the first weekend of the month.
The New York State Museum, established in 1836, is a program of the New York
State Education Department. Located at the Empire State Plaza on Madison Avenue in
Albany, the Museum is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. except on Thanksgiving and
Christmas. Admission is free and the Museum is fully accessible.
Low Ambient with Task Lighting,
including occupant control of ambient
lights
Study looked at preferred cubicle lighting levels using a
dimmable overhead lighting, under cabinet lighting and
portable LED task lighting
Hypothesis is that when occupants have control of the
overhead lighting levels and have access to efficient task
lighting, overall lighting levels will be reduced
Key findings
– Overall lighting levels reduced by 5 to 19%
– Distribution of light is critical to satisfaction levels
Further work required to focus on task lighting criteria that will
allow for lower ambient lighting levels and increased
satisfaction levels

Review and Approval of Facilities for Research on Living Organisms and Greenhouse Christopher Dinno, Senior Director for Facilities Management presented a concept rendering for the proposed relocation of one of the existing Greenhouses on campus and the addition of a scientifically termed Head House and a Small Living Organism Facility. The design of the Head House and Small Living Organism Facility would be consistent with the existing facilities. Dr. Richard Whitkus, Department Chair of Biology informed committee members that the funding for this project is contingent upon receiving grant funding through the National Science Foundation (NSF) that the School of Science and Technology applied for in August 2009. Whitkus explained that this project has several components which will benefit research efforts to improve and enhance the Biology Department. Whitkus informed committee members that the existing middle greenhouse should be reoriented to an east-west axis to improve conditions necessary for the propagation of plants. All existing greenhouses are in need of new infrastructure which includes upgrading the existing temperature controllers, lighting and humidity controllers. To support the revitalization of the greenhouses, a new Head House will be constructed which will provide an outdoor covered area for plant preparation and potting, and interior spaces for potting plants, storage, benches, an office and a restroom facility. An addition of a Small Living Organism Facility is also being proposed. President Armiñana inquired about the size of the animals that would be housed in the facility. Whitkus responded animals smaller than an elephant seal. Whitkus informed members that this facility is necessary as when the greenhouses were relocated in 2004 due to the Recreation Center Construction, the Small Living Organism Facility was not replaced and while Darwin Hall has a cold room, it is not sufficient for the needs of the department. The proposed facility would restore the department’s research capacity. The facility will include an observation space, sink area, and storage spaces. Nate Johnson, Senior Director for Police and Parking Services/Chief of Police inquired about the level of security that the Small Living Organism Facility would have. Whitkus responded that the facility would be occupied by two people at all times when in use and access to the facility would be limited to only those who are licensed to obtain the small animals. Elizabeth Chellini inquired about vehicle and pedestrian traffic on Laurel Drive. Dinno responded that there is a fair amount of westbound traffic in the morning but it decreases by mid day. Dr. Scott Severson, Faculty Representative inquired about the timing of the project from start to finish. Whitkus replied that the grant was applied for in August 2009 and it may be two years before funding is approved. Severson inquired about how long small animals would be kept in the facility to which Whitkus replied less than 24 hours.
