Brendan Ross has comprehensive ramblings up over at DobberProspects today.
Dallas has locked up defenseman Philip Larsen to a two-year deal. Larsen's cap hit will be around $1 million. He's a great skater and moves the puck well, but his offensive upside is a bit of a question mark right now.
The Jets have re-signed the underrated Kyle Wellwood to a one-year, $1.6 million deal. Wellwood will center the third line behind Olli Jokinen and either Bryan Little (who may move back to wing) or Burmistrov.
Another Jets signing - defenseman Paul Postma - one-year, one-way. Postma will likely be in the NHL on a full-time basis. He has more than earned his way there with several seasons of solid play in the AHL. Could be a sleeper pick for both one-year and keeper leagues.
Buffalo 2012 1st round pick Zemgus Girgensons won't be going to college – he signed a pro ELC contract yesterday. He is eligible to start off in the AHL, since he wasn't drafted out of the CHL.
Check out some job opportunities currently open for Dobber Sports. We need a podcast host for DobberNation, and DobberFootball is looking to add writers. More information is right here.
Nick Bonino signed a two-year deal with the Ducks. He'll likely slide in on L3 behind Koivu and Getzlaf. Bonino's deal is one-way, and he's likely going to stick as a full-time NHLer.
The Ducks would love prospect Peter Holland to come in to camp and compete with Bonino for that spot. Holland has significantly more offensive upside than Bonino, but Bonino may be a bit more ready for NHL minutes.
How do the Stars plan on replacing Derek Roy for the first few weeks of the season? Cody Eakin and Tom Wandell are the contenders, according to beat writer Mike Heika.
"Dallas has replacement candidates for Roy in Cody Eakin and Tom Wandell who could play on the second line if Roy misses games. However, the Stars obtained Roy because they were hoping to avoid scaling those players that far up the lineup. The Stars traded second-line center Mike Ribeiro to Washington in June for Eakin, who is 21 and brings potential but only 30 games of NHL experience."
I wasn't aware that Steve Ott and Mike Weber were best friends. A good read on Weber trying to help Ott get acclimatized to the Sabres organization.
"Certainly one of his favourite targets, Calgary's Jarome Iginla, won't be sorry to see Ott go east. "What I do is try to get guys off their games because they stop competing," Ott said.
"That's why I have such great respect for Jarome. He doesn't stop competing. He comes right back even harder." The prospect of new ground to till in the east and the opportunity for his family to watch him doing it is another reason for Ott to be excited."
I have a feeling Ott is going to be a very valuable fantasy option for 2012-13. The Sabres are severely lacking in the faceoff department, and the top two centers will be very young – Tyler Ennis and Cody Hodgson.
I could see Ott taking all faceoffs on line two and then moving to the left wing once the puck has been dropped.
Ott has averaged close to 40 points over the last four years, and is money in the bank for 150+ PIM. Combine that with faceoff wins, and you get a very valuable (and versatile) forward for most pool formats.
Teemu's back! More on the return of Selanne:
"I still feel that I have something to give and that I just feel I can play at this high level," Selanne said on a conference call while vacationing in Italy. "And even with the tough first half we had last year, I still enjoyed the game so much. So that's why I knew way earlier than normal that I wanted to play again.
"… Age is a funny thing. A lot of times, I don't feel 42 right now. After all, it's just numbers and it all depends how good you feel, how healthy you are and how much passion you have for the game."
You are the GM of a contending team, and you have the option to sign Shane Doan or Alexander Semin. Identical contracts – two years, cap hit of $6 million. Who would you take, and why?
Caps 2012 1st round pick Filip Forsberg compares himself to Corey Perry.
Asked who he models his game after, Filip Forsberg hesitated only slightly.
"Well, no not really pattern my game after. But maybe Corey Perry," the Washington Capitals' first-round pick said. "He's also a very big-sized, right-handed guy. Got a good shot and also good hands and he's pretty big and can play a bit physical, so maybe him."
Dominik Hasek, the greatest goaltender in the history of hockey (up for debate, I know), wants to return to the NHL. His agent, Ritch Winter, believes that the 47-year-old will "excel" in the NHL next season.
"There's also the fact Hasek plays a position where age doesn't factor as much as, say, forward or defense. Martin Brodeur played in the 2012 Stanley Cup finals a month after turning 40; in 2011, Dwayne Roloson (41) became the oldest goalie in league history to post a playoff shutout.
(At 45, Hasek won a Czech league title — and playoff MVP — with Pardubice. At 46, he led the KHL with seven shutouts.)"
The Penguins have signed skilled winger Benn Ferriero to a one-year, two-way contract. Ferriero has spent the past few seasons in the Sharks organization, and he even saw some top line minutes when injuries struck. He is a gritty but undersized two-way forward.
Ferriero is likely insurance if there is an injury to any of Pittsburgh's forwards. He can play any role from line one to line four – a very solid depth player.
Cardiac Cane takes a look at Justin Faulk's best moments in 2011-12.
Bolts Prospects counts down the top prospects in Tampa Bay's organization.
"1. G Andrei Vasilevski, Ufa Jr. (RUS Jr.)
We start with a little intrigue at the top of our rankings, as we put Andrei Vasilevski, the 19th overall pick, at the top of the rankings. Put simply, we believe that if the "Russian factor" were put aside, and Vasilevski was named Andy Vaughn, we suspect he would've been a top-10 pick held in the same esteem as past draftees like Carey Price and Marc-Andre Fleury. As noted by Red Line Report, Vasilevski's mastery at the U20 World Junior Championships last season is unheard of for a 17 year old underage goaltender. He plays with the maturity and skill of a goaltender several years older than he is and probably is the best goaltending prospect to ever be drafted out of Russia. If rumors are true that he may be able to manufacture a move to Mississauga of the OHL, which drafted Vasilevski in last month's CHL Import Draft, all the better."
"7. D Mark Barberio, Norfolk (AHL)
Conacher may have been voted the AHL's MVP, but within the Admirals locker room second year defenseman Mark Barberio was named the team's MVP. Barberio led the AHL in scoring amongst defensemen with a magnificent 13 goal, 61 point, +28 campaign. He was the engine of an unstoppable Admirals regular season power play and had erased any and all lingering questions about his skating. However, once the playoffs started, Barberio's production tailed off as other teams targeted Barberio physically, and as Barberio slowed down he took Norfolk's power play down with him. Barberio probably needs one more year of seasoning where he learns how to overcome teams coming after him. Once he does that, he should be an excellent two-way contributor in the NHL."
The Lightning have a pretty deep prospect pool – even their 10 and 11 prospects have legitimate NHL upside.
Would a Bobby Ryan for David Krejci trade fly for both teams? Krejci and Getzlaf would be a great 1-2 punch in Anaheim. And the trade would allow Tyler Seguin to move back to his natural position of center. And Ryan would give the Bruins another big, skilled winger, joining Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton.
A PIM prospect to keep an eye on for the next few years – Alexandre Mallet. The Canucks drafted him in the 2nd round this year – he's older than most prospects at 20, and already plays a pro game. The team has compared him to Alex Burrows and Maxim Lapierre (but bigger and tougher), which says everything you need to know about his playing style.

Ben Lee's unlikely song-by-song reworking of Against Me!'s New Wave showed us that when you strip away the big-budget major-label sheen, an unmistakable pop masterpiece lurks beneath. Not punk-pop, but real, honest-to-God, sing-along pop. Frontman Tom Gabel's cinematically detailed, self-deprecating, and political songwriting lends substance, but it's the melodies that keep us hanging on every word.

For those who want an alternative to solvent-based nail enamel, we've got the solution for you! Our unique water-based polish is free from harsh chemical odors; no more nasty fumes! But perhaps best of all, there's also no need for toxic smelly nail polish remover - this product removes with rubbing alcohol, vodka/grain alcohol or our Nail Polish Remover! Thanks to our new patented technology, there's nothing else like it on the market!
odorless, non-toxic earth-friendly formulalong wearing fabulous colorsContains NO:FD&C colors, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, xylene, or formaldehyde
Comes in 25 great colors to match our Truly Natural Lipsticks, plus clear:Shiny Penny, Camelot, Romance, Risque, Desire, Vintage Merlot, San Francisco, Hippie Chick, Valentine, Mocha Latte, Goddess, Tuscany, Cherokee, Burlesque, Fairy Dust, Whisper (sheer), Serenity (sheer), Destiny, Manhattan, Nude Beach, Abyss (pure black), Oasis (sapphire blue), Renaissance (rich wine), Tease (purple), Wild Fire (bright red), Manicure White and Clear (also acts as top/base coat) What makes this product different from traditional polishYou already know it's water-based, it's free from harsh chemical odors and has no formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalates or FD& C colors. But let's take that a step further. Without getting too technical, let's explore the fundamental differences between solvent-based and water-based systems. Solvent- based polishes are simple solutions of nitrocellulose resins in strong solvents. Nitrocellulose is used because it forms a very hard film easily as the solvents evaporate from the base. These harsh, bad-smelling solvents, are then also used to remove the polish by dissolving the film. By contrast, water-based polish uses an emulsion resin in the form of billions of very small particles suspended in water. As the water evaporates, the particles touch each other and form a hard film which is no longer soluble in water. At first, it may seem that these systems are similar, the only difference being the carrier base. But they are in fact as different as night and day. One cures by reversible solvent evaporation, the other by creating a tightly knit film. One is easily dissolved, the other not so easily. Several states are beginning to regulate VOCs (volatile organic compounds) emitted by nail polishes and nail polish removers. WaterColors Nail Enamel has very low VOCs.Product appearanceYou'll notice the Clear Base/ Top Coat polish actually appears milky white in the bottle. The milkiness disappears upon drying to form a clear coat. Sometimes minor settling occurs in some colors, and you may notice a light ring of color at the top of the bottle, or some sparkle floating to the bottom. We have shaker beads inside, so a light shake of the polish easily re-disperses the pigment.Nail preparationSolvent-based polishes can strip healthy nails of naturally produced oils. Since our polish does not contain these solvents, the oils remain on the nail. Wash and dry hands thoroughly before applying polish. Those with very dry skin may wish to apply a cuticle oil to nails first before applying polish to help hydrate the nail. Make sure the oil is absorbed into the nail before polishing.Dry timeDries to a tack-free state nearly as fast as regular polish. Two thin coats will dry faster than one thick. Cold hands, low temperatures and high humidity can prolong drying time. Water resistant in about 15 minutes. Able to withstand other chemicals (shampooing, doing dishes) after about an hour. For best results, polish nails at the end of the day so they have overnight to cure properly.Product exceptionsYou may find this product is a bit more difficult to remove from toe nails, because toe nails are naturally more dry and have less natural oils.Scratch resistanceUnlike solvent-based polishes which reach their maximum hardness in about 40 minutes, WaterColors Nail Enamel must be given time to create a tough film. About 75% of the hardness is achieved very quickly, but it needs 4-6 hours to achieve maximum hardness. The more time you give it to cure properly, the longer it will wear. You may choose to apply it at night when the day's activities are done. However, because the film is quite thin, worn areas at the tips or scratches can be easily touched up to create a freshly-applied appearance.Ease of removalThe film that is formed by the water-based system becomes more difficult to dissolve as time passes. For this reason, we recommend you remove the polish at or before one week of wear the first time you use our polish. Apply Nail Polish Remover to the cotton ball or Honeybee Gardens felt pad. Hold the wetted pad on the nail for a few seconds, and then proceed to rub the polish off while applying gentle pressure. Do not scrape at the nail. It may take a few swipes longer than you're used to, but the product will come off. People with dry, ridgy or porous nails may need to work at it a bit longer. Acetone-based removers will not work because this is not a solvent-based system. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly after removal. If you have naturally dry skin, you may also want to use a moisturizer.Tips and tricksWhile WaterColors Nail Enamel may look and act like traditional solvent-based polish, it does have its eccentricities. Most of our customers tell us they would rather have to do an extra step if necessary rather than use polishes which contain potentially toxic ingredients. Here are some special instances and ideas which can help you create the perfect manicure.1) Dry NailsWe've found that individuals with dry skin and dry nails tend to have a more difficult time removing our polish. For those folks, we recommend moisturizing the nails first before applying polish. Rub a little cuticle oil (or any good oil like jojoba, sweet almond, olive, etc.) into nails until the shininess disappears and the oil is absorbed into the nail. Then polish the nails as usual. You may want to remove the polish after one week of wear. Moisturize after removing polish.2) Cold TemperaturesSince our polish is water-based, it can thicken in cold temperatures. We recommend storing our polish at normal room temperature. If polish does thicken, add ONE drop of water to bottle and shake well. This should return the polish to normal consistency. If it does not, the polish had been too cold for too long and needs to be replaced.3) Length of WearIt's rare we ever hear that our polish doesn't last long enough. However, if you find the polish isn't wearing as long as expected, the problem probably comes back to application. We recommend that you try to polish your nails at night if possible. Though our polish is tack free in no time, it takes longer to cure at the molecular level than traditional polish. So the longer you give it to set up without exposure to water, etc., the better it will wear. That being said, everyone wears polish differently. How long the polish lasts on you also depends on your body chemistry, daily activities and environmental exposure. Applying a clear top coat can extend the wear of polish. We also recommend a base clear coat under our darker colors such as Vintage Merlot, Risque and Desire.4) RemovalThe film that is formed by the water-based system becomes more difficult to dissolve as time passes. For this reason, we recommend you remove the polish at or before one week of wear the first time you use our polish. Apply Honeybee Gardens Odorless Remover to a cotton ball or remover pad. Hold the wetted cotton ball on the nail for a few seconds, and then proceed to rub the polish off while applying gentle pressure. Do not scrape at the nail. It may take a few swipes longer than you're used to, but the product will come off. People with dry, ridgy or porous nails may need to work at it a bit longer. Acetone-based removers will not work because this is not a solvent-based system. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly after removal. If you have naturally dry skin, you may also want to use a moisturizer. Some customers have told us they have success applying our remover to a piece of white craft felt or even an old white gym sock (turned inside out) and then using it to remove the polish. The added texture from these items helps to hold the remover on the surface of the nail better and acts as a gentle exfoliant to better remove the polish.
Water, water-miscible acrylic, polyurethane formers and thickeners, non-ionic soaps. May contain: ultramarine blue, carmine, mica, iron oxides, and/or titanium dioxide
We promise to never spam you, and just use your email address to identify you as a valid customer.

I love the nail polish! I ordered Vintage Merlot online. When I got it, I was actually disappointed; the color was not what I expected. But once I applied the polish, I was happy. It goes on easily, the first coat was rich, and it was easy to remove using both the Honeybee remover and rubbing alcohol. I actually recommend the polish remover since it is somewhat oily and moisturizing. Alcohol dried the skin out. It does not smell bad at all. It has a very subtle smell which reminds me of kid's finger paint, which is not bothersome at all. It also dried quickly; I think faster than "regular" polish, which is important since I can't sit still long enough for something to dry! Anyway, I do plan on ordering more colors in the near future! Awesome product!

Dear all,
As we known, in GAs, there is the selection and a few main operators, e.g. crossover, mutation, and survival (a fixed number of best individuals copy themselves).
I found some information from different websites about their rates. It can be summarized as follows.
Selection: The way of selection could better be "Roulette Wheel selection". However, if I picked the proportion of the population, e.g. the toppest 15 test cases among all in each iteration, is it convincing? I feel that Roulette Wheel selection is a little hard to implement…
Crossover rate: around 0.7
Mutation: 0.001 (very low value)
survival: 1-0.7-0.001 = 0.299.
Do you have some comments on selection and rate of genetic operator?
Thanks in advance,

Honestly, the best gift and toy you can give her is YOURSELF. 2 month old babies love to interact with their parents and she will be especially excited about interacting with you. Try playing peek a boo, singing her nursery rhymes, giving her an infant massage etc. You should seek to involve all of her senses since she is trying to explore the world around her. Let her smell a variety of fragrances from a lemon peel to a rose, brush different textured fabrics on her fingers and cheeks, let her listen to you singing, talking or play soothing classical music for her during her quiet times.
If you really want to buy a few things, it is never too early to begin reading to your child and books with simple colors and simple repetition are wonderful. Try Goodnight Moon and Brown Bear Brown Bear for starters. Babies this age also love to go for walks. As the weather gets nicer, consider taking her for an afternoon stroll every evening and point out the birds, trees and other things for her to focus on.
Large colorful or black and white fabric blocks are also a good choice right now, as is a crib aquarium toy or mobile for her to look at.
Congratulations on your new baby and welcome to Strong Moms...
Hi, at 2 months old my little guy's favorite toys were: 1. little soft toys near him where he could see them, and 2. his activity gym. We bought the activity gym used to save $, and he really loved it, was his main toy from 2 - 6 months. My little guy wasn't able to grasp anything until closer to 3 months old but it didn't matter, he still liked to look at soft toys and at the activity gym.
For books, we had a bunch including the early classics like Eric Carle books etc, but far and away his first favorites were 1. Baby's First Colors (a large-ish hardcover board book by Baby Boppers - there are others in the series like Baby's First Words and Baby's First Animals, I've seen them at Barnes and Noble). The best thing about them is just one word and one large pic per page. 2. Any soft cloth books.
Anyhow those were our experiences, but every baby is different.
A two month old baby is starting to become aware of his/her environment. Babies at this age love to hear mommy and daddy's voice, so reading books using animated voices and different accents and singing songs (even if you aren't auditioning for American Idol anytime soon!) is a great way to entertain your baby. Smiling and making funny faces will make your baby smile, since smiling is now one of your baby's expressions. Books with brightly colored pages, fabrics with different textures that baby can touch and feel, and pop- up books can keep your infant alert and aware. Baby Einstein has some wonderful educational books and videos for infants. Placing your baby in a swing and poping in a video is a great activity. Playing music is also a great idea. Classical music is believed to increase intelligence if played in utero and during infancy. If you visit the Fisher-price website (www.fisher-price.com), there are lists of toys by age. You can find an array of toys for 2+ months, such as musical activity gyms, kick and play piano, jumperoos, and toys with flashing, colorful lights. You sound like a wonderful mom who wants to enjoy and stimulate her child in a fun and educational way. Hope this helps!
It's never a waste to get an interesting toy that is good for teething. This has a better chance of being usable because it can serve multi-purposes. For us, it's very hit or miss on toys, so books are easier. Our daughter pretty much loves every book we read to her and it can hopefully spark a love of reading. We love theSandra Boynton books and of course Dr. Seuss ABC Book...
If you're a member of a religious organization, you may want to look into if they have a lending closet. My MIL's church has a stash of toys and baby gear that members of the congregation can "check out." You could try out some toys that way. You might also want to look into what's at the local library. Many have toys in the kids sections. Let your baby play and see if anything really catches his attention. That can give you an idea of what might be good to buy.
All of these things are great, but to be honest with you, I bought the Fischer Price laugh and learn bouncer and it was great. My daugther was probably 2 or 3 mos old when I got it and she loved it. I would stick her in that when I needed to get things done around the house. those bouncers are very entertaining for young babies and they have a seatbelt so you don't have to worry about your baby falling out. I highly recommend one!
I just had my preemie evaluated and they said she follows a red ball well. I did research and red is a color they recognize thus all the red and black themed stuff you see like soft toys and mobiles. so maybe one of the soft rattles in red. As for books I received make way for ducklings as a gift. That is a classic. I also have the golden books sesame street on my wish list. my brother who is much older gave me the monster at the end of this book(grover) when I was little and I gave a friend the sequal another monster (elmo and grover). Dr Suess is another timeless classic

Conn. jobless rate falls to 8.1 percent
HARTFORD -- The Connecticut unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent in January, the state Department of Labor said Friday.
The state added a preliminary estimate of 4,700 jobs in January, a sign of considerable improvement to the state's labor market, the department said. The agency's research director, Andy Condon, said the data show the state's job market is continuing on a modest but positive recovery path established in 2011.

We're pleased to announce our latest Tuts+ Premium course: "30 Days to Learn C#." My aim is to introduce you to the C# language (and a tiny bit of the .NET Framework), and give you a clear understanding of the fundamentals needed to start writing applications in C#.
All I ask for is a few minutes of your time each day for a month.
This is by no means a fully exhaustive look at the language, but I will get you familiar with the language and platform. I won't lie; some of the material is easier to grasp if you have some programming background. But I do try to explain things from the standpoint of a complete beginner. So even if you haven't programmed before, I hope you'll find my explanations of programming concepts and fundamentals understandable.
All I ask is for a few minutes of your time each day for a month. Most lessons are between ten and fifteen minutes. Naturally, some are shorter and some are longer, but I promise none go over 31 minutes!
Ready to become a better programmer?
Tuts+ Premium
The recently re-launched Tuts+ Premium is a service that provides top-tier training in a variety of creative fields. Whether you prefer books, visual training, or in depth tutorials, we have you covered. While we unfortunately can't afford to provide the service for free, it's only $19 a month - less than you'd spend on dinner.
I hope you'll consider checking it out! In addition to learning a huge variety of new skills, it's also a fantastic way to say thank you to Nettuts+.

Fall, in addition to being the time of year when the leaves change and the weather turns mild, is the beginning of Flu Season.
I'm sick. Not fever-sick, but I feel extremely yucky. I'm making up a batch of chicken soup right now. I always add extra chicken to my soup recipe. It makes a richer broth and there's leftover chicken that I can use for another dish.
Here's my recipe…….
Chicken Soup
*2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
*1 cup onions, diced
*1 & 1/2 cup celery, chopped
*1 & 1/2 cup carrots, sliced into thin rounds
*5 cloves of garlic, chopped fine
*2 Bay leaves
*1 teaspoon fresh oregano
*1 teaspoon fresh sage
*2 teaspoons kosher salt
*1 teaspoon ground pepper
*6 cups water
*1 cup tomato juice, I use the spicy-hot or subsitute 1 small can tomato sauce
*5 chicken breasts, or equivalent amount of other cut of chicken
*1 & 1/2 cups cooked rice
1. Pour oil in pan heated to medium.
2. Saute onion, celery, and carrots until crisp-tender.
3. Add garlic, bay leaves, and herbs. Saute lightly.
4. Add water, juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
5. Add chicken, cover. Raise heat to medium high, lower heat to medium when it reaches a boil.
6. Simmer for 2 hours.
7. At 2 hours, pull cooked chicken from the pot.
8. Shred the chicken and return to the pot.
9. Add cooked rice. Stir.
*I add a few dashes of hot sauce to my soup bowl.

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
With great pleasure, the Board of Directors of The BioLogos Foundation announces the appointment of Deborah Haarsma to become our next President, and of Jeffrey Schloss to the role of Senior Scholar. Professor Haarsma assumes leadership from our outgoing President Darrel Falk, to whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.
My goal in leading this organization for these past three and a half years has been to lay the groundwork to help my fellow evangelicals see that the conflict between our faith and mainstream science is not as great as they thought it was. In the process, my thinking has been significantly shaped by listening to people who think differently than I do

I'm assuming that the place where it was leaking was the T&P valve?
That is designed to release under any one of two conditions: excessive pressure, or excessive temperature. Weeping a little is likely if the expansion tank is shot (or there's none installed). But, a strong flow is not normal. What was the temperature of the water being discharged?
If I had to guess, I'd guess that your expansion tank is shot and the T&P valve has some mineral deposits on it, and once it tripped, it wouldn't reseat. So, I'd check the expansion tank, and then replace the T&P valve unless the boiler was running away, and the tank was excessively hot.
It's possible, if you have excessively high water pressure, that your PRV is shot. You should also check the incoming water pressure to rule that out.

Abandoned beach furniture will be confiscated
Date: November 3, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The understaffed Longboat Key Code Enforcement Department is responding to a complaint issued in September about beach furniture that has accumulated at the Gulfside Road public beach access at 6399 Gulfside Road.
Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Simpson said the town is working to educate residents about beach furniture being left on town-owned beach property, which is not allowed under town code or state statutes.
"Code enforcement will enforce beach furniture on public beach as lost or abandoned property," said Simpson, who said abandoned furniture will be tagged for five days before its confiscated and stored at Town Hall for 90 days.
Sleepy Lagoon residents, who have left beach furniture at the Gulfside Road beach access for years, were targeted in the complaint. However, Sleepy Lagoon Homeowners Association Reina Berman said the town should be aware that Sleepy Lagoon residents only account for one-third of the residents in the area that use the Gulfside Road beach access.
Simpson said Gulf-side property owners can review a copy of their land surveys to see what is deemed private beach and public beach.
"We will also be walking the beach around the public beach access areas to educate the public about beach furniture placement," Simpson said. "We are happy to meet with property owners and explain the process."
For more information, contact Simpson or Code Enforcement Officer Heidi Micale at 316-1966.

The cool, wet spring has now given way to a hot, wet summer. With all the rain we have gotten and continue to get, it's hard to keep up with the weeds in both my flowerbeds and my family's vegetable garden.

Malaysia Airlines Sets another Malaysian Record with Commencement of A380 Scheduled Service
Sepang (1 July 2012): Malaysia Airlines set another historic Malaysian record today with the launch of its Airbus A380 scheduled service between KL International Airport (KLIA) and London Heathrow.
In an elaborate and glittering inaugural flight programme at the KLIA, graced by the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister YAB Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and the Minister of Transport Y.B. Dato' Seri Kong Cho Ha, together with invited dignitaries from various government agencies accompanied by Malaysia Airlines' Group CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, the superjumbo operating flight MH2 was given a rousing send-off minutes before midnight.
The full flight took off for the capital of the UK, exactly 38 years after its maiden flight operations between the two cities on 1 July 1974.
Malaysia Airlines became the 8th operator of this superjumbo and will be the second carrier to operate this aircraft when it becomes a full member of the oneworld alliance by end of this year.
The national carrier also notched several significant firsts with the A380 operations, among others being the only airline to introduce its A380 in an exclusive new livery and also having the widest First class seats among the operators of this aircraft.
Feeling elated with the commencement of this A380 scheduled service, Ahmad Jauhari said, "This is a proud moment for the entire nation and we at Malaysia Airlines are glad to be part of this historic moment which positions Malaysia in the league of the A380 operators. Such an advancement is our contribution towards the efforts by all to steer Malaysia towards developed nation status by 2020. This is also in line with the government's desire to increase capacity for heightened tourist arrivals into the country."
"At the corporate level, the introduction of our A380 into service will see a continuation of our refreshed brand campaign which commenced in March 2012. The objective will be to position ourselves as a preferred premium carrier, so that the market chooses us over others when we gradually roll out our total revamped product which not only includes areas like inflight but also other aspects such as our Airport Lounges and all other stages of the passenger's journey with us," he added.
The airline has ordered six (6) A380 aircraft, four of which will be delivered by the end of 2012 and the balance in 2013. The Kuala Lumpur - London route will be the first destination for the A380, to be followed by Sydney towards the end of November. There are also plans to fly the A380 to Narita Tokyo and/or Beijing for the other new additions to the Malaysia Airlines fleet.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Parcel 6A Site
This undeveloped 6.86-acre lot in downtown Taunton once hosted a foundry and a train repair facility. The surface soil contains arsenic, lead, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) above state standards. Homes surrounding the property also have been affected by contamination. More than 50 homes tested by EPA were impacted by lead that may have migrated from the site. Since other sources, such as other foundries in the area, also might have caused contamination, and since data indicate the contamination may be ubiquitous in Taunton, the Mass. DEP decided to conduct a health risk assessment including collecting blood samples from citizens living in the area. At the same time, EPA built a chain-link fence around the original property to limit access to the site and turned management of the site over to the Mass. DEP. In 2006, the state and the City of Taunton decided not to list the site as a Superfund site on the National Priority List. In 2007, based on the risk assessment, the Mass. DEP determined that the elevated levels of lead and PAHs in the residential properties are background urban fill, which under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan does not require cleanup.
