Lazy man's journal
After reading a review on I more about this app being so good for travelers, I've been using it for our families' adventure. It work great for finding things close by and by checking in, it's creating somewhat of a journal of our trip.
Essential app for iPhone
This app brings together everything that makes an iPhone an iPhone. Social networking, geolocation, photos and more. It's an essential traveling companion and wonderful way to keep in touch with friends. I love this app!
Farewell Foursquare
I just removed this app from my phone. I've been using it for years, but just don't see the value that I used to.
The straw that broke the camel's back is when it kept reminding me that notifications are off and making click a tiny button to dismiss the banner. (Anywhere else and it takes you too the screen to turn them on.) I know notifications are off; I turned them off because I didn't want them.

- Integrated Water Resources Science and Services (IWRSS)
- USGS National Water Census
- Links to Other Web Sites, Papers, and Reports
IWRSS is a new federal initiative supported by a consortium consisting of the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These federal partner agencies are collaborating to design, develop, and implement a national water modeling and information services framework to:
- Infuse new hydrologic science into current water resource management;
- Develop hydrologic techniques and information to support operational water resources decisions; and
- Provide advanced hydrologic services to meet stakeholder needs
In 2012, NOAA reached out to the DRBC to assist the IWRSS federal partner agencies to convene a group of basin stakeholders to learn about the hydrologic services IWRSS can provide, identify key gaps that IWRSS might fill to inform water resources decision making, and discuss possible demonstration projects to build capacity for integrated water resources management in the Delaware River Basin. DRBC hosted a forum to discuss IWRSS in December 2012. In April 2013, the IWRSS federal partner agencies invited basin stakeholders to complete an online survey seeking input to articulate and prioritize water resources information needs and to identify information gaps. The information learned from this survey will help shape the future direction of IWRSS and the design of a pilot project in the region.

There is a great need for an improved understanding of water use and water availability. Presently, no comprehensive national assessment of water resources exists. USGS and its partners (including DRBC) are making progress towards a National Water Census which will thoroughly quantify water supply and demand across the country. The Delaware River Basin is one of three focus areas under review as part of this USGS water availability initiative. The other two areas are the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint Basin and the Colorado River Basin.
The Water Census is part of an overarching Department of the Interior (DOI) initiative called WaterSMART ("Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow"). Through WaterSMART, DOI is working to achieve a sustainable water strategy to help meet the nation's water needs. The Water Census will help inform that strategy.

On August 8, 2012, the USDA released prototypes of validation review checklists for compliance with the meal pattern. These are prototype lunch and breakfast Validation Review Checklists which support the School Year (SY) 2012-13. As indicated in the interim rule, during a validation review, State agencies must observe a meal service for each type of certified menu (i.e., each distinct menu by age grade grouping) and review the production records for observed meals to ensure the meal service meets the updated meal pattern requirements and is consistent with the menu/documentation on which certification was based. State agencies are instructed to provide technical assistance and if corrective action is immediate, then the School Food Authority may continue to earn the 6 cents.

I love the smell of this exfoliating wash. It leave my skin feeling fresh and clean without drying it out.
Clarks Botanicals makes amazing products as it is. I did not use this as a body wash only a face wash. I felt the product had great gently exfoliating properties. That is my favorite thing in a product. It came clean off the skin, had a gentle smell. Great for travel.
This product worked well but it is a little pricey. I liked it but I would not buy it again due to the price.
I really like this product but its a little pricy for body wash. The seeweed leaves my skin feeling soft and smelling great , but not a $45 value.
This is just Ok. It performed acceptably but I don't know that I'd buy it again. Not because it didn't work but ecause I'm not sure it did
i love this facewash, the exfoliation factor is awesome, leaving face so fresh and clean!! great product, may be pricey but fully worth it

(NBC) -He's been alive since the Roaring 20s, and Allen Fleming is still roaring in his 80s.
Meet him, and you will be instantly smitten.
"I'm Allen Fleming," he introduces himself, "and I live in delightful Dahlonega."
On a typical morning in delightful Dahlonega, Georgia Fleming walks the dog, says goodbye to his wife and then heads to school.
Fleming is a junior at North Georgia College.
"I'm studying for finals," he said. "I guess you'd call this 'cramming'."
"I'm sure we've had a number of 50- and 60-year-old students and graduates," said Phil Collins, North Georgia College's director of alumni relations, "But 86? Gotta be the top."
What kind of man would go back to school as an octogenarian, you ask?
The same kind of man that would go skydiving for his 80th birthday, which Fleming did with the blessing -- and financial backing -- of his kids.
His children wound up influencing this latest decision, as well.
"I raised five kids," Fleming said. "And every one of them is a college graduate" -- but not their dad.
Fleming flew in dive-bombers during World War II and prospered as an advertising executive for Sears Roebuck, but he never finished college, which is why he decided to take out his backpack, buy a graphing calculator, and set his sights on finishing a journey he started seven decades earlier.
When Fleming graduates next spring, his degree will ultimately be in literature, but what makes him different than the rest of his peers isn't just his age; it's his mindset.
Most college students do not yet know what they will ultimately accomplish in life.
This one has already accomplished so much and continues to find new ways to engage himself.
"There's too many things going on that you can find to enjoy," Fleming said. "My going to school is one of them for me."

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi announced a series of senior staff changes today with the departure of her Chief of Staff for 8 years, John Lawrence. Today, Pelosi named Nadeam Elshami as her new Chief of Staff and George Kundanis as Deputy Chief of Staff with an expanded role and responsibilities, while promoting Diane Dewhirst to Deputy Chief of Staff and Drew Hammill to Communications Director and Senior Advisor, replacing Elshami.
"On behalf of my colleagues, I want to thank John Lawrence for his 38 years of service to the House of Representatives," Leader Pelosi said. "Few staff members have ever had the impact that John has had on so many laws that have been enacted in his years in my office as Speaker and as Democratic Leader, and with Chairman George Miller. I wish John and Deborah well and will always value their friendship."
"For the past six years, Nadeam has been a key communications strategist, spokesperson and senior advisor," said Leader Pelosi. "I know my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus will benefit from his leadership as he transitions to Chief of Staff."
In addition to Lawrence's departure and Elshami as the new Chief of Staff, Pelosi announced the following changes to her senior staff:
- George Kundanis, Deputy Chief of Staff, with an expanded role for legislative and Member responsibilities;
- Diane Dewhirst, Deputy Chief of Staff, with a portfolio focused on strategic planning; and
- Drew Hammill, Communications Director and Senior Advisor.
John Lawrence, chief of staff to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi since 2005, will leave Capitol Hill on February 1st. Lawrence, who served as chief of staff during both of Pelosi's terms as Speaker, is the longest serving staff person currently in the House, according to National Journal.
Lawrence came to Capitol Hill with newly-elected Congressman George Miller (D-CA) in 1975, serving briefly as legislative director before becoming Miller's chief of staff, a position he held until 1993. During that period, he also served as associate staff to the Budget Committee, assistant to the Democratic Policy Committee, and staff director of the Subcommittee on Labor Standards.
In 1993, with Miller serving as chairman, Lawrence became staff director of the House Natural Resources Committee, working extensively on legislation affecting western water policy, energy and national parks. Six years later, he became Miller's chief of staff on the Committee on Education and the Workforce, working on labor rights, workers' compensation, and education policy, including the "No Child Left Behind" law.
Other major legislation in which he played a significant role includes the foster care and adoption reform law of 1980, the 1975 special education law, reform of federal water policy and oil and gas development, and extending workers' compensation law to cover occupational diseases. He also played a key role in the creation of national parks honoring World War II's "Rosie the Riveter" and hundreds of African-American sailors killed in the Port Chicago (California) explosion of 1944.
Lawrence holds a Ph.D. in U.S. history from the University of California (Berkeley), and an undergraduate degree from Oberlin College. He is married to Dr. Deborah Phillips, president of the Foundation for Child Development, and has two sons, Sam and Elijah.
Pelosi has named Nadeam Elshami as her new Chief of Staff. Elshami started working for Pelosi in 2007 and currently serves as Communications Director and Senior Advisor. Elshami led messaging efforts around the successful passage of the Affordable Care Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform legislation, among other historic pieces of legislation under Pelosi's speakership. As Communications Director, Elshami has led the restructuring of Caucus communications operations with an emphasis on rapid response and new media outreach and expansion. Elshami previously served as Deputy Communications Director and Senior Advisor.
Elshami, a 21-year veteran of the House and Senate, previously served as Deputy Communications Director and Senior Advisor to Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, where he was a top spokesman to the Assistant Democratic Leader and served as a liaison to House leadership on communications coordination. For 6 years, Elshami served as Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director to Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky of Illinois. In that role, he advised the Congresswoman, a chief deputy whip, on policy and communications as well as managed staff for her Washington congressional office.
Elshami previously served as Deputy Press Secretary to Senator Barbara Boxer of California. His first job on Capitol Hill was in the Senate mailroom. Throughout his two decades on Capitol Hill, Elshami has worked on policy issues, including voter and consumer protection, and immigration reform. He holds a B.A. from the University of Evansville in international business. He is married to Stacy Elshami, his wife of nearly 20 years. The couple has three children.
George Kundanis will continue to serve as Deputy Chief of Staff, with an expanded role for legislative and Member responsibilities. With over 30 years of Capitol Hill experience, Kundanis has worked for every top Democrat in the House of Representatives in the last two decades. Kundanis has been with Pelosi since 2002. He previously served as a special assistant to Pelosi.
Prior to joining Pelosi's office in 2002, Kundanis was a special assistant to former Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt (D-MO). From 1995 until 2002, he served as the Executive Director of the House Democratic Steering & Policy Committee. Previously, he worked for Speaker Tom Foley (D-WA) for 17 years.
The Almanac of the Unelected has called him, "a master of floor procedure, a key player in building Democratic message strategies, and an able tactician on crafting policies."
Kundanis hold an undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. George and his partner, Karen Lightfoot, live in Washington, D.C.
Diane Dewhirst has been promoted to the role of Deputy Chief of Staff with a portfolio focused on strategic planning for Leader Pelosi. Dewhirst has worked in a wide variety of positions throughout her career in national politics. Dewhirst started in party politics at the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, where she first met then-California Democratic Party State Chair Nancy Pelosi.
Dewhirst's career then took her to the U.S. Senate where she served as Director of Communications for Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell (D-ME). She then consulted on various projects for the Clinton Administration, worked for First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Clinton/Gore '96 as well as the 2000 Democratic National Convention. In addition, she consulted for numerous organizations including the Smithsonian Institution, the Children's Defense Fund, Center on Budget Policy and Priorities, and Alliance for Justice. Dewhirst returned to the Hill in 2004 and since then has served as a senior advisor to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
A graduate of Northwestern University, Dewhirst lives on Capitol Hill with her husband, Bob Hickmott, and their three children.
Pelosi has named Drew Hammill as Communications Director & Senior Advisor. Hammill started working for Pelosi in 2006 and currently serves as Deputy Communications Director and Press Secretary. Hammill led message and strategy coordination efforts around the then-Speaker Pelosi's flagship energy and environmental initiatives including the Energy Independence and Security Act, enacted in December 2007; the historic "Green the Capitol" initiative; and the House-passed American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. He also advised Pelosi on message and policy strategy around the successful efforts to pass LGBT-inclusive legislation, including the historic passage of legislation to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
As Deputy Communications Director and Press Secretary, Hammill has led communications planning efforts for Pelosi and the House Democratic Caucus, served as a top spokesman for Leader Pelosi and an advisor on communications strategy.
Hammill previously served as Press Secretary to Congressman Kendrick Meek of Florida. He got his start on Capitol Hill as a press assistant to former Congressman Rahm Emanuel of Illinois.
Hammill holds undergraduate degrees in political science and communications from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he served as Student Body President. He holds a master's degree in comparative politics from the London School of Economics. Hammill is married to Jason Mida.

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) wants to know what health care question or decision you may be facing. Your input can help us refine our research agenda.
환자, caregivers and the broader healthcare community are invited to complete a survey on our website to propose specific research questions. Each suggestion we receive will be carefully evaluated through a selection process that will lead to targeted announcements for research funding.
In addition to questions about prevention, diagnosis and treatment options, we'd like to know what information you need that could help us fund research to improve healthcare delivery, address disparities of all types, improve how research is communicated , or even improve the research process overall.
One example of a proposed research question is: "Should I see my primary care physician, an orthopedic specialist, or chiropractor
for the best care related to my chronic lower back pain?"
That's an actual question we received through the form.
Join us! Please take a few minutes to submit your research questions and become part of PCORI's efforts to change the research process by making the patient's voice a central piece of how our work is done.
About PCORI
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is an independent, non-profit organization authorized by Congress. Its mission is to fund research that will provide patients, their caregivers and clinicians with the evidence-based information needed to make better-informed health care decisions. PCORI is committed to continuously seeking input from a broad range of stakeholders to guide its work. More information is available at www.pcori.org.
Patient-centric research is what it's all about. Every time a pemphigus or pemphigoid patient helps with research, we all win. Tissue. Blood. Information. It is all equally important and every little bit helps. That being said, I encourage each of you to visit PCORI and ask your question to help determine which areas get funding. This is NOT an IPPF initiative, but as members of the Coalition of Skin Diseases we are excited to have a chance to help determine research avenues.
Visit http://www.pcori.org/get-involved/suggest-a-patient-centered-research-question-survey/ to ask your question and provide some simple questions.
The questions are pretty straight forward. What disease does this affect? What is your question? Who would this help? And why is it important to you?
Your research question can be simple ("How does pemphigus affect women?") or complex ("What are the physical and emotional effects of pemphigus in Jewish women between the ages of 20 and 40?"). If you're really feeling spunky, you can find out how to write a good research question HERE.
Thank you for all you do to further the IPPF mission!

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsApril 17, 2013
The efforts of your career center can be bolstered by working with faculty members who understand and appreciate that both parties want to help students reach their personal, academic, and professional goals. Better advising will result from sharing knowledge and information between two areas that traditionally do not have the need to partner closely, says Renée Glass-Starek, director of CareerWorks at Seton Hill University.
Here, Glass-Starek provides some tips to help career services form strong partnerships with faculty:
For more on developing faculty partnerships, see Renée Glass-Starek's article "Bridge the Gap Between Student Affairs and Academic Affairs: The A to Z of Partnering With Faculty," which will appear in the May 2013 issue ofNACE Journal.

An Economist Goes to a Bar
And solves the mysteries of dating.
When economists began broadly applying their theories of rational choice-making, love and marriage were among the first areas they colonized. Nobel Prize winner Gary Becker laid the foundations back in 1973 with his two-part article "A Theory of Marriage." Becker imagined society as an immense cocktail party with rational-minded daters searching for the most desirable partner who would have them. His analysis predicted a pattern of "positive assortative matching," where men and women of similar desirability would partner with one another.
While models of dating have proliferated in the years since Becker's pioneering work, we have not progressed very much in testing his theories, or even answering the most basic dating question, for Becker or anyone else: What, exactly, makes someone desirable? There are, of course, the answers that get regular reinforcement: Men value looks; women value brains, money, and success. But do these old-fashioned stereotypes continue to hold today (if they were true to begin with)?
To figure this out, you could do "field work" at a local bar to observe the choices people make in real dating situations or sift through archived marriage announcements to see who chooses whom. But observed dating and marriage choices are at least as much a result of whom we meet as what we prefer. Doctors marry doctors, lawyers marry lawyers, and economists marry economists, probably not because they actually prefer to do so, but because those are the people they meet in daily life. The same may be true of the tendency to marry someone of one's own race or religion.
To really understand what people prefer, you need to pair men and women randomly in an experimental dating service and document the decisions they make. And so for a couple of years at a local bar just off the Columbia campus, I ran a speed-dating experiment with two psychologists, Sheena Iyengar and Itamar Simonson, and fellow economist Emir Kamenica. Some of our findings confirm well-worn clichés. But others surprised us.
Speed dating is matchmaking on, well, speed—each male-female pair (we stuck to heterosexual couples) meets for four minutes to size each other up, at which point a whistle blows, signaling the men to get up and move on to the next woman. After each "date," participants decide if they'd like to see their partner again. For our study, we also asked them to rate their partners' intelligence, looks, and ambition after each meeting. Each event had between 10 and 20 daters of each gender, and in the course of the evening, every man met every woman and vice versa.
After two years of serving as academic love brokers, we had data on thousands of decisions made by more than 400 daters from Columbia University's various graduate and professional schools. By combining all of our choice and ratings data with separately collected background information on the daters, we could figure out what made someone desirable by comparing the attributes of daters that attracted a lot of interest for future dates with those that were less popular.
With the obvious qualification that we're talking here about a four-minute version of love and dating, we found that men did put significantly more weight on their assessment of a partner's beauty, when choosing, than women did. We also found that women got more dates when they won high marks for looks from research assistants, who were hired for the much sought-after position of hanging out in a bar to rate the dater's level of attractiveness on a scale of one to 10.
By contrast, intelligence ratings were more than twice as important in predicting women's choices as men's. It isn't exactly that smarts were a complete turnoff for men: They preferred women whom they rated as smarter—but only up to a point. In a survey we did before the speed dating began, participants rated their own intelligence levels, and it turns out that men avoided women whom they perceived to be smarter than themselves. The same held true for measures of career ambition—a woman could be ambitious, just not more ambitious than the man considering her for a date.
When women were the ones choosing, the more intelligence and ambition the men had, the better. So, yes, the stereotypes appear to be true: We males are a gender of fragile egos in search of a pretty face and are threatened by brains or success that exceeds our own. Women, on the other hand, care more about how men think and perform, and they don't mind being outdone on those scores.
Another clear gender divide, this one less expected, emerged in our findings on racial preferences, reported in a forthcoming article in the Review of Economic Studies. Women of all the races we studied revealed a strong preference for men of their own race: White women were more likely to choose white men; black women preferred black men; East Asian women preferred East Asian men; Hispanic women preferred Hispanic men. But men don't seem to discriminate based on race when it comes to dating. A woman's race had no effect on the men's choices.

You find yourself in a group of people standing next to a cliff.
Suddenly, someone pushes another person, sending them over the edge. Thankfully, the victim is able to hold on to the edge rather than fall to their death, but nobody makes a move to help them or stop the perpetrator. Everyone, including yourself, simply stands there watching.
Angry that they've been pushed, angry that nobody is helping them as they struggle not to fall, the victim screams, 'Is anybody going to fucking help me??'
That gets everyone's attention. 'Why are you mad at me?' one person asks. 'I didn't push you.'
'Nobody is going to want to help you with an attitude like that.'
'You're just as bad as him.'
Nobody makes a move to help.
The victim screams in frustration, their fingers slipping. 'You've got to be fucking joking!' they shout as they lose their grip.
'You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.' You say as you walk away.
Welcome to the anti-sj/'real justice' movement."

It doesn't mean she has a weak heart or any other health problems. As your child's blood moves through the chambers, valves, and major vessels of his heart, it can make a faint noise. That sound is called a heart murmur.
Depending on what kind of murmur it is, the noise may be vibratory or rumbling, humming, swishing, gurgling, or even musical. (It's a separate sound from the familiar "lub dub" of the heartbeat.) Most of the time, this noise is diagnosed as an "innocent," "functional," "normal," or "harmless" heart murmur. And almost all children have one at some time or another.
In some cases, the noise is being caused by blood flowing faster or in greater amounts than usual through the heart and vessels. That can happen when a child has a fever, for example, or if she's anemic or has an overactive thyroid. Other times, it's the result of something structural that doesn't affect the functioning of the heart — in which case the sound may fade as a child's body develops and her chest wall thickens.
Innocent childhood heart murmurs usually go away on their own, although some people have them their whole lives. These murmurs require no treatment.
To assess whether a murmur is normal or needs looking into, a doctor will check a child's pulse and blood pressure and listen carefully to his heart with a stethoscope. For clues, she'll try to determine where in the heart the murmur is occurring, when in the heartbeat cycle it happens, what type of noise it is, how loud it is, and whether it changes when the child changes position.
If your child's doctor has diagnosed the murmur as normal, you can rest assured it's nothing to worry about. If she's not certain about it or is concerned, she'll refer you to a pediatric cardiologist, who might order tests such as a chest X-ray, ultrasound (which uses sound waves to scan and create an image of the heart), or an electrocardiogram (which records the electrical activity of the heart).

IT'S REAL GOLD that we showed to our Castlemaine field trippers this year. The Castlemaine, Victoria area is famous as an historic gold site and pictured (right) is some recently found gold. But we were after better than gold – the evidence that God created the world, and the world was destroyed by Noah's flood.
|Several groups of High School students have visited sites with us during 2011 and pictured below is a group of grade 11 & 12 students as they ponder how a 10 metre exposure of sedimentary beds formed. They were trying to answer, how long these rock layers took to form, and on average how such rock formed each year.
|They found it very helpful when our local gold miner guide told them that this feature was actually a man made sedimentary bed, formed as the sediments were washed out of the old gold crushing plants and the 10 metres took 50 years to be deposited. So how much sediment formed each year? The maths was simple, they just divided 10 metres by 50 years to find that approximately 20cm a year formed. The students were amazed when they saw the portion covered by the hand span (right) proved to have formed in less than one year, and averaged 20 to 50 sedimentary layers. The local mining guide explained – in those days they worked 6 days and rested one so the breaks in the beds probably represent Sunday, their day off. Surprisingly these semi-consolidated beds showed all the features of sediments such as those in the Grand Canyon.
|But when you apply this 20cm per year rate, to sedimentary structures such as the Grand Canyon fossil layers – the whole fossil bearing portion of the Grand Canyon, around ½ kilometre thick, required no more than 2500 years to form. The point to be made is not that we have proved that the rocks in the Grand Canyon took 2500 years, instead of more than 250 million – but the time strata takes to form depends on the process and not vice versa.
|In today's society, people make time the hero of the plot and most think given long enough rocks will form. But time doesn't make rocks - process does! And the type of process determines how long the rock structure actually takes to form.
|EVEN A BLIND MAN COULD. Home Schoolers in South Australia had a great field trip as we took them to Hallett's Cove to investigate the rocks and fossils of the area and look for evidence of creation, Noah's flood and a recent Earth.
|Surprisingly, our group organiser, Joseph Stephen, is totally blind and has been since 2 years of age. Joseph is a computer programmer and develops programs for blind people – but he sees through his fingers. When Joseph asked to be shown the fossils, we placed his hand on them asked him what they were. Joseph quickly replied "This is some kind of shell." When asked how he knew that – he replied, "I have felt shells before."
|Joseph was 100% right and it just went to prove that his Pelecypod Shell does not provide any help for the theory of evolution, but does provide overwhelming evidence that creatures do actually behave as God said they would when they were first created – "After their own kind." Pelecypod are still here and they still look like the one Joseph found.

The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".

Neighborhoods: Bay Ridge & Fort Hamilton
Total Rip Off. Their pricing is nearly criminal – Len's told me that a service call cost $125. That seemed a lot to me, but I figured that it was a house call in the city, and they have parking expenses, etc.. The repairman replaced a burned-out fuse on my Viking Microwave. He was in and out of my apartment in 20 minutes. So I figured I was going to pay the full $125 and that was it. The bill? $381. That's right and is not a mis-print: $381. I almost threw the guy out of my apartment...threw the window. He said: minimum service is $275. And he was charging me $75 for the fuse! I took pity on the repairman, and i was on a conference call at the time (he came an hour late to my apartment), so I paid Len's Appliance Service the blood money and moved on. But please! Do not make the mistake I did. Don't give any of your hard earned money to these criminals. $381 for 20 minutes of service? I don't even know top corporate lawyers that charge those kind of rates. Even Elliot Spitzer wouldn't pay that for his escorts! Do yourself a favor and find a much more honest appliance service company than Len's. They are a bunch of criminals
Nice people who don't show up – I have had trouble getting this company to return to actually fix the dryer--I paid a $136.09 service fee but they reschedule often. Spent the whole day waiting for repair person-very nice guy-but now at 4:12pm I have called and was told by Len, the owner, that the repair person is too busy to come by.No apology-was told I will be a priority tomorrow. Stay tuned. We'll see-will let you know if they actually show up and fix machine.
NOTE: Called this morning to ask for an estimate-they had never given me one. Glad I did: $400 to open the ASKO dryer!!!! and $120 for 2 rollers. Plus maybe (!) a pulley had to be replaced-"Maybe." Cancelled appt: after a no show yesterday and then a $400 charge to open a dryer, I will contact another ASKO repair co.

Questions & Answer for Lavender
On March 23, 2014 Diana asked:
- Q: Is the organic super grade lavender appropriate for culinary use? And assuming from pic super grade is free of stems & leaves?
- A: Yes, all three grades are appropriate for culinary use actually. Super has the best color, so if you're putting it in something that will be noticeable in (such as a blend of whole spices, a loose tea, etc.) it's a great choice. However, extra and select will work for normal culinary use. The picture is accurate in that the super grade has little to no stem or leaves, while there is a bit in the extra and select grades (more so in the extra; we try to sift that out but it's not possible to remove 100% by machine sifting). - starwest staff

Not a bad price for 8 bluray movies. The first few are great but they decline in quality as you progress through the story
Each movie at least 30 minutes too long. So 30 X 8 = 240 minutes of "something else I could have been doing" but I chose to watch these movies instead. Darn you Harry Potter.
I hate foreign films... especially when they don't have subtitles.
Wonder if the dubbed the actors voices with English ascents Good deal.
I bought this last year when the deal came up from Amazon UK. I ordered the week before Thanksgiving, and it got delivered around the 29th of December. So I think it is a bit too late to get it for Christmas.

Nosy Crow has released an interactive story book of their version of the Little Red Riding Hood featuring fully-animated illustrations multiple paths that let you take control of the story.
Little Red Riding Hood by Nosy Crow is the same story we all know and love, but instead the gruesome part where the Huntsman rescues Grandma and Red by cutting them out of Wolf's stomach, Little Red Riding Hood collects items on her way to Grandma's house and uses them to fend off the Wolf herself. And Grandma is simply locked in a wardrobe, unharmed. Much more appropriate for children!
One of the great features of Little Red Riding Hood is that you get to have control over some of the story. Three different times, Red encounters a fork in the rode and much choose which direction to go. The choice you make for her determines what you end up helping her collect along the way.
In my version, Little Red Riding hood picked flowers that she used to make the Wolf sneeze, scooped water into a jar that she threw in the Wolf's face, and rescued a spider that ultimately scared the Wolf away.
I love this book. My daughter loves this book. If you have kids, Little Red Riding Hood by Nosy Crow is a keeper.
Leanna: The part where Grandma is instead locked in the closet, is similar to Hoodwinked, a fractured-fairy tale version that was in theatres along with its sequel. I will recommend this book to several friends with kids.
I have to get this for my niece. This should be something she would enjoy. Thanks for the review!

Why does Kellogg's® even bother making them when they taste like complete ass compared to home-made ones? Even if they made them with the perfect mixture of krispies and mallows, it would still be horrible by the time it was packaged and sent to your local convenient store. It is a waste of their time and money; no man (or woman) in serious need of a crispy rice treat, would dare buy a Rice Krispies Treat®. Instead Kellogg's® should save that time and money so they could manufacture their own marshmallows, undercut Kraft® Jet-Puffed®..........
Views: 9
however, i like just rice krispies and chocolate. none of this marshmallow nonsense!
That is acceptable, so now I am thinking that Kellogg's® should also start a chocolate monopoly.....
...but i don't think they have the biebers to take on names like Nestlé® and Cadbury® when it comes to chocolate.

Interactive Tool: What Is Your Risk for a Stroke if You Have Atrial Fibrillation?
What does this tool measure?
Click here if you have atrial fibrillation, are age 55 or older, and want to find out your risk of stroke .
This interactive tool measures the chance of having a stroke in the next 5 years, for people who are age 55 or older and have atrial fibrillation . To calculate your score, the tool uses the information you enter.
This tool is based on information from the Framingham Heart Study. Since 1948 the Framingham Heart Study has studied the progression of heart disease and its risk factors. The data from this study has been used to make a risk assessment.
You should be aware, though, that the tool cannot be applied to everyone. This tool does not work for people who:
- Have mitral valve stenosis or significant left ventricular dysfunction, which interferes with the heart's ability to pump well.
- Are already taking an anticoagulant such as warfarin (Coumadin). Anticoagulants, also called blood thinners, prevent clots from forming and greatly lower the risk of stroke.
- Have had a stroke or transient ischemic attack within 30 days of developing atrial fibrillation. If so, you are already at high risk, and this tool will not work for you.
The values you enter include the most important risk factors for stroke. They are:
- Age and gender. The risk of stroke increases with age. The risk doubles every decade after age 55. Also, among those with atrial fibrillation, women have a higher risk of stroke than men.
- Systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the first number of your blood pressure reading. For example, if your reading is 120/80 (120 over 80), your systolic blood pressure is 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
- Diabetes. Having diabetes increases your risk of stroke. You can help lower this risk by working with your doctor to keep your blood sugar levels in a target range.
- Prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). If you have had a stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 30 days of developing atrial fibrillation, you are already at high risk, and this tool will not work for you. But if you had a prior stroke or TIA before you developed atrial fibrillation, this tool will work for you.
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
|Interactive tools are designed to help people determine health risks, ideal weight, target heart rate, and more.
|Stroke Risk From Atrial Fibrillation
What does your score mean?
Your score will appear in as a value from 1% to 99%. If your score is 5%, it means that 5 out of 100 people with this level of risk will have a stroke in the next 5 years. If your score is 10%, it means that 10 out of 100 people with this level of risk will have a stroke in the next 5 years.
These percentages are one way your doctor can decide if an anticoagulant (blood thinner), such as warfarin, is the right medicine to help lower your risk of stroke. Talk with your doctor about the best way to lower your risk of stroke.
If you are above a 10% risk, talk to your doctor about taking an anticoagulant. You will want to weigh the benefits of reducing your risk of stroke against the risks of taking an anticoagulant. These medicines work well to prevent stroke. But they also increase the risk of bleeding. Your doctor may also check your risk of bleeding from an anticoagulant to see if it's right for you.
If you are at a 10% risk or lower, you may get enough protection from stroke by taking aspirin. Aspirin may be a good choice if you are young and have no other heart or health problems or if you can't take an anticoagulant safely. Aspirin doesn't work as well as an anticoagulant to reduce your stroke risk. But aspirin is less likely to cause bleeding problems.
Other antiplatelet medicines, such as clopidogrel (Plavix), may be used. Your doctor may have you take them with aspirin or instead of aspirin. When aspirin and clopidogrel are used together, they may reduce the risk for stroke more than aspirin alone. But this combination is also more likely to cause bleeding than aspirin alone.
What's next?
Talk to your doctor about how to lower your risk of stroke if you have atrial fibrillation.

Stay humble kids.This is what happens when you act like smug as@hole. You end up working for and *****ociating with enemies. He used to beef with Jim Jones and Cam'ron. They were always talking smack about Jay-Z. At least these black men are getting along now. But still a lesson to be learned. You see the same people on your way up as you do on the way down.
Actually Dame, was the one who brought on Dipset and this is part of why he and Jay fell out. Also Jim Jones and Dame are co owners of Vampire Life clothing. They have been connected for a good while. Cam'ron has big money but he doesn't care about being in the limelight. He has many businesses.
looks a lil ummm....low budget

Before leaving for the three-day tournament at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Coach Passehl said he expected his boys to do well – and to rank in at least the top five.
"Most of these kids have been wrestling since they were 8 years old, and all of them have gone through peewee programs," he said. "They've worked hard and are very disciplined. People don't realize how hard they work – which is why they ended up with 17 (wins) finishing the season."
But it all came down to the state tournament, Passehl did predict: "It will sum up the whole season, and I have real big expectations."
Those expectations were surpassed, with the team taking third place and Jordan Passehl winning the 189 pounds class.
According to the Denver Post, Jordan defeated Dwight Howes of Arvada, 5-4. Montrose junior Bryce Gaber placed second in the 171 pounds class – to first-place winner Josh VanTine, of Broomfield. Montrose senior Braxten Franz came in second in the 215 pounds class, losing to Coltin OsterMiller of Ridgview Academy. Other Montrose team members are juniors Drew Schumann and Skylar Simkins, senior Vance Hawk, and sophomores Geordan Hudson and Kordell Bradshaw.
Hudson placed third in the 112-pounds division, Pessehl said, and Bradshaw came in sixth in the 119 pounds class
With 119.5 team points, Broomfield High placed first in the 75th annual Colorado Class 4A High School Wrestling Tournament. Roosevelt High had 118 points, and the Montrose wrestlers garnered 104 points. Rounding out the top 10 schools were Greeley West with 97.5, Windsor with 89.5, Pueblo South with 65.5, Alamosa at 62.5, Frederick, 57; Palisade, 56; and Arvada, 52.5 points.
The girls basketball team at Montrose High – having a winning season – is headed to States this week said Coach Eric Sanchez, where they'll go in "firmly in second place."
Much of the team's strength comes from its one and only senior, Hanna Bowden, a 6-footer with a great shot at college scholarships, Sanchez said.
"She was All-State last year and looks to be on the same level this year," Sanchez said of Bowden. "The rest are juniors and sophomores and freshmen, but they're continuing to play hard and get better."
All team sports at the high school are having good seasons, said athletic director Lyle Wright, the boys' basketball teams are also heading to state soon and have a good shot at winning their league.
Swim team member Emily Stuckey, a junior who has won the state 50 freestyle for two years in a row, also has a good shop at a college scholarship, Wright said.
But as a former state wrestling champ, Wright, now in his sixth year at Montrose high, was particularly thrilled with the state wrestling results.
"It's great to be in the same place you graduated from," he said.
Pessehl, who saw Wright briefly at the tournament, said he was gratified by the large number of people from Montrose who braved terrible weather to drive to Denver to see the boys compete – not one of whom expected such a successful season, he added. For the past several years, the Montrose team has had a good season, but then choke when they got to state.
"We took 14th place at State last year as a team, so no-one was counting on us to do anything," he said. "I knew with the kids we had, we could do what we did, and we weren't too far out of first place. But to get three kids in the finals was amazing."
Pessehl gives a lot of credit to assistant coach Neil Samples for inspiring the kids to do their best.
"He wrestled at Western State, and is a good kid," Pessehl said. "I knew that if I could get him in there, and we worked them to death, all this could happen, and it did."
The tournament was stressful for both coaches and the team, Pessehl said, but when they learned Friday night that the three boys were going into the final rounds, the stress disappeared.
"Every kid that wrestles, this is their goal," he said.
The coach said several colleges offering both football and wrestling scholarships have contacted his son, but he hasn't made a decision yet which sport he'll concentrate on.
In the meantime, his dad will concentrate on building his team up for next year.
"Before, it just wasn't clicking," he said. "We'd go to state with good kids, same kids we have now, and not win. But this year was different."
