Origins News Roundup for Friday, February 28, 2014
Ever wonder what a huge frozen lake looks like from space? Or what the best blunders in science history have been? Closer to home (for us anyway), have you contemplated whether America's views on evolution will ever change? Today's News Roundup brings you a mashup of thoughtful essays and some fun items to make your Friday more interesting.
Series: Evolution Basics (39 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (4 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
Rethinking the Origins Debate
Even among the majority [of Americans] who believe that God created humans, the chasm separating creationist and evolutionist views appears to be gargantuan. Are Americans really this divided over human origins? As a social scientist, I am skeptical about these findings.
Origins News Round-up for Friday, February 14, 2014
Read today's News Roundup for BioLogos-curated collection of articles analyzing and commenting on last week's debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham—as well as some Valentine's Day amusements.
Ham on Nye – What to Watch for
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Origins News Round-up for January 17, 2014
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Trying all Things: The Importance of Experience in Scriptural Interpretation
"All of a sudden, it was possible to grant a text deep authority (a 'high view of scripture' we say) while discounting neither our own experience, nor the historical experience of those writing, compiling, editing that same text. To put it differently, all of a sudden, history mattered—the history of the text itself, and the history of our interpretations of a text."
Ian G. Barbour, 1923 – 2013
Ian Barbour died on Christmas Eve at the age of 90. He is credited by many to be the father of the contemporary academic discipline of science and religion.
Origins News Round-up for January 3, 2014

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
"We were (mostly) prepared for the academic arguments but not necessarily the thing many fear in this discussion: personal conflict."
Why the Church Needs Multiple Theories of Original Sin
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
The Calvin College Summer Seminars in Science and Faith
Having won an ECF grant, Cara Wall-Scheffler, biological anthropologist at Seattle Pacific University, and I are now planning to host a group of 18 young Christian paleobiologists for a week-long seminar during late June, 2014.

As the deadline for public comment on the Keystone XL pipeline arrived on Mar. 7, environmental groups told the Obama administration that the State Department's analysis of the project was based on flawed assumptions that clash with the nation's commitment to mobilizing global action against climate change.
In its final environmental impact statement (EIS) issued on Jan. 31, the State Department asserted that no single project would have much effect on the growth of Canada's tar sands industry. It based its conclusions partly on business-as-usual projections that oil demand and prices would rise amid continued worldwide inaction on global warming.
The Natural Resources Defense Council said in wide-ranging comments that the EIS "makes a fundamental error by relying on energy consumption scenarios which assume a global failure to address climate change."
If the State Department stuck with its predictions that energy consumption and prices were destined to remain high, it would "undermine the nation's credibility" during United Nations talks aimed at heading off the worst effects of global warming, the advocacy group said.
For U.S. homeowners and citizen investors, going solar—right now—is becoming increasingly within their grasp.
Solar startups are offering new ways to both pay for rooftop solar installations and invest in the sector—from solar loans and leases for houses, to crowdfunding, debt securities and bond issues for small-time financiers. With solar panel prices at historic lows, companies are pushing to reduce costs even further by reimagining the way that projects get financed.
The latest example is in Connecticut. There, Sungage Financial is launching a two-part program. First, homeowners can get loans that are structured specifically for buying and installing solar panels. The initiative is the first to base the terms of the loans on the customer's projected energy-bill savings—typically about $25,000 over three decades for Connecticut homeowners.
A new study has underscored just how little is known about the health consequences of the natural gas boom that began a decade ago, when advances in high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and directional drilling allowed companies to tap shale deposits across the United States.
"Despite broad public concern, no comprehensive population-based studies of the public health effects of [unconventional natural gas] operations exist," concluded the report published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Science & Technology.
Last week, InsideClimate News, the Center for Public Integrity and The Weather Channel reported on the health data gap in the Eagle Ford Shale, where a lack of air monitoring and research is aggravated by a Texas regulatory system that often protects the gas and oil industry over the public.
Leading environmental organizations are pressing the White House not to bow to industry pressure to abandon the government's main method for measuring the future costs of global warming pollution and the benefits of new pollution controls.
At issue is an economic calculation known as the "social cost of carbon," or SCC, which estimates the cost in dollars that society will ultimately pay for the harm caused by each ton of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere.
That price tag helps policymakers decide how much economic sense it makes to impose costly emissions controls.
Oil, gas and other industry groups recently petitioned the White House Office of Management and Budget to prohibit the use of the cost-benefit tool, arguing that it was imprecise and needed additional peer review.
Two years ago, impatient advocates of the Keystone XL in Nebraska pushed through a series of hastily conceived laws to fast-track approval of the pipeline's route through that state.
Now it's clear that the legislative maneuvering has produced the exact opposite effect—threatening to delay a presidential decision even further and giving opponents more time to fight on.
On Feb. 19, Judge Stephanie Stacy of the Lancaster County District Court ruled that Gov. Dave Heineman's approval of the pipeline reroute by TransCanada, the project's builder, was executed under an unconstitutional statute he had signed into law in 2012, and "must be declared null and void."
The ruling has been seen as a slap at corporations' use of eminent domain powers to seize access to private land, and as a rejection of bills crafted to favor a single powerful special interest. But Judge Stacy's opinion makes clear that she did not intend it that way—nor as a verdict on the Keystone XL itself.
The world needs to invest tens of billions of dollars a year in beefing up shoreline defenses against rising oceans or it will face mind-boggling costs in the decades to come, according to new research published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
If nations don't build up dikes, levees and sea walls, harden existing infrastructure, and preserve natural sponges like wetlands and barrier islands—and if they also do nothing to cut the emissions of greenhouse gases that cause global warming and are driving sea levels higher—the damages could be almost beyond comprehension, the researchers warned.
In a worst case, almost five percent of the world's population could be exposed to flooding at the start of the next century, and the damage could surpass nine percent of future global GDP each year.
This future damage from floods, they wrote, "may be one of the most costly aspects of climate change."
The analysis of greenhouse gas emissions presented by the State Department in its new environmental impact statement on the Keystone XL pipeline includes dozens of references to reports by Jacobs Consultancy, a group that is owned by a big tar sands developer and that was hired by the Alberta government—which strongly favors the project.
In the end, the environmental review took into account much of the Jacobs group's work—though not quite as much as the Alberta government wanted. The State Department report will play a crucial role in the Obama administration's decision about whether to approve the Canada-to-Texas tar sands pipeline.
The Jacobs Consultancy is a subsidiary of Jacobs Engineering, a giant natural resources development company with extensive operations in Alberta's tar sands fields. The engineering company has worked on dozens of major projects in the region over the years. Its most recent contract, with Canadian oil sands leader Suncor, was announced in January.
It is not easy to measure the carbon footprint of the tar sands crude that would move through the proposed Keystone XL pipeline to refineries in the United States.
There is no question that the oil extracted from Canada's vast bitumen reserves is dirtier than most—heavy with carbon and emitting even more of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide when it's produced or consumed.
That surplus carbon, and its implications for the fight against climate change, is one of the reasons for widespread opposition to the 830,000-barrel-a-day Keystone XL. And it is what led President Obama to declare last June that "the national interest will be served only if this project doesn't significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution."
But how to put a number on the word "significantly"? That's tricky, because any such estimate is built on a matrix of assumptions, modeling methods and ever-shifting data about how the fuel is produced.
A significant new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that emissions of dangerous pollutants from the tar sands operations in Canada may be much higher than previously reported in official estimates collected and reported by the industry.
The pollutants, known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAH, can increase the risks of cancer in people and are suspected of presenting other hazards, such as tumors and reproductive problems in wildlife.
The new study, by researchers at the University of Toronto, said the exposure risks may prove to be two to three times higher after including pollution from evaporation, such as fumes coming from the tailings ponds where tar sands wastes are stored.

Chile is getting its first shot at an Oscar for best foreign-language film, along with global attention and a boost to its thriving film industry with the nomination of "No."

'No' Oscar nomination boosts Chile's film industry
South American nation's first shot at Oscar glory is about publicity campaign that helped oust Gen. Augusto Pinochet from power

News of the film's nomination Thursday was widely celebrated by Chileans, but also had been expected by many since the movie became a surprise hit at Cannes.
"No" revisits a publicity campaign that helped oust Gen. Augusto Pinochet from power after 16 years as a dictator.
Gael Garcia Bernal plays Rene Saavedra, a formerly exiled advertising hot shot drawn into a 1988 referendum TV campaign who tries to persuade people to vote "No" to eight more years of Pinochet.
Selling the idea that positive change could end the regime, his character uses ads that feature catchy jingles, a rainbow graphic and dancing Chileans in a variety of guises - from cowboys and housemaids to cooks and miners.
"I had a great time doing this," Garcia Bernal said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where he's filming a short with his close friend and fellow actor, Diego Luna.
"The fact that I played an exiled man is something very common in Chile because the dictatorship provoked this type of returns," he added.
The ad campaign worked in real life. Pinochet, who once compared himself to the best Roman emperors, was ousted when 55 per cent of people voted "no" to continuing his rule. His removal paved the way for Chile's return to democracy and more than two decades of economic prosperity.
"Dictators are not usually ousted through democratic elections, and this is a profoundly human story, which was resolved through things that have to do more with beauty than with horror," director Pablo Larrain told the AP.
Larrain said he's excited about the nomination because it will entice more people to see the story of one of Chile's most memorable moments.
"The movie shows how society organized and changed the destiny of a whole country, how a dictatorship was defeated through peaceful means, positive ideas," Larrain said.
The film's July premiere in Santiago unsettled many audiences because Chile remains deeply divided over Pinochet's rule.
Even the mention of his name makes many Chileans cringe with memories of the dictator shutting down Congress, outlawing political parties and sending thousands of dissidents into exile, while his police killed an estimated 3,095. But to his loyalists, Pinochet remains a fatherly figure who oversaw Chile's growth into economic prosperity and kept it from becoming a socialist state.
"The movie shows how Chile through the referendum negotiated with Pinochet because we kept his model to the point where we've abused a model imposed by Pinochet," Larrain said.
"We negotiated with him because we were never able to judge him, and Pinochet died a free man and a millionaire."

La Velle E. Neal III has covered baseball for the Star Tribune since 1998 (the post-Knoblauch era). Born and raised in Chicago, he grew up following the White Sox and hating the Cubs. He attended both the University of Illinois and Illinois-Chicago and began his baseball writing career at the Kansas City Star. He can be heard occasionally on KFAN radio, lending his great baseball mind to Paul Allen and other hosts. Mark Rosen borrows him occasionally for WCCO-TV.
CC Sabathia (no periods with the C's) is 15-8 with a 3.00 ERA in his career against the Twins. Back in the day, when he was with Cleveland, Sabathia would buzz Twins hitters when they bunted or even attempted to bunt on him.
By the looks of today's lineup, the Twins look like they want to try to get Sabathia riled up.
Josh Willingham's left shoulder is still sore. Justin Morneau is batting .140 in his career against Sabathia. So they are out. So is Trevor Plouffe who, according to Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, needs a day off.
So the Twins have a lineup that includes six players with a total of six home runs - and five of those are definitely piranha class.
Jamey Carroll is batting .375 this month. Alexi Casilla is 10-for-18 against Sabathia. So they'll go with the ambush lineup.
"We'll see if we can get him moving around the mound," Gardenhire said, "and straighten his cap."
Will it work? Stay tuned. If the Twins win, they will win their first season series against New York since 2001.

ANALYSIS: Obama offers silver lining
After weeks of dire warnings about looming economic catastrophe, President Obama sought to become rallier in chief Tuesday night, offering a hopeful message of brighter days ahead while being honest about the challenges confronting the nation.
Mr. Obama, who last year as a senator mocked President Bush's final State of the Union message as "empty rhetoric" and asked voters to imagine having a leader "who rallied all Americans around a common purpose," endeavored to do just that.
Beset by worldwide economic turmoil and top-level criticism from former President Bill Clinton that he's been too pessimistic, Mr. Obama tried to allay public fears. He used his oratory skills in a format that's served him best throughout his political rise: the prepared speech, in a grand setting, that allows him to transcend the media filter and talk directly to Americans.
Taking a shot at the Bush administration and the culture that cultivated the crisis, he told the joint session of Congress and a prime-time television audience that his administration would turn the page on an era that he said delayed critical debates and difficult decisions.
"That day of reckoning has arrived, and the time to take charge of our future is here," he said.
He mixed in inspirational phrases as a signal that he would remain the hopeful man whom the nation elected.
"As we stand at this crossroads of history, the eyes of all people in all nations are once again upon us - watching to see what we do with this moment, waiting for us to lead," the president said.
He added later that he has learned "hope is found in unlikely places," including in "the dreams and aspirations of Americans who are anything but ordinary."
The speech was a critical moment in Mr. Obama's "evolution" from candidate to president, said Simon Rosenberg of liberal think tank NDN.
Mr. Rosenberg, who worked in the Clinton White House, said before the speech that the night was an opportunity for Mr. Obama to detail point by point how he will lead them during a time of crisis.
"The American people are willing to give him time, but he needs to make sure they walk away with a clear sense of what he wants to do for them and that they think that it's actually possible for him to pull it off," Mr. Rosenberg said.
Mr. Obama delivered some details, including comments sure to rile conservative critics.
Mr. Obama said he pushed the $787 billion economic-stimulus plan "not because I believe in bigger government" and insisted that he is "mindful" of the "massive debt we've inherited." But he then ticked off government programs that he would grow from a broad investment in health care expansion, new energy technology research and school reform.
He did so while offering both practical and psychological assurances that his three-pronged plan for fiscal health - economic stimulus, housing, and banking and Wall Street reform - will pull the nation from recession.
He used some of the tough talk that earned him reputation for frankness along the campaign trail, earning his longest and most spontaneous applause for challenging every American to get at least one year of secondary education or training and saying dropping out of high school was "no longer an option."
"It's not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country - and this country needs and values the talents of every American," he said, as the chamber and galleries above rose to cheer.
The speech also gave the president a chance to offer his own spin in a preview of the budget blueprint that he will lay out Thursday.
Michael Franc, vice president for government relations at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said Mr. Obama used campaign-style tactics to sell his $787 billion economic-stimulus plan earlier this month.
Although such tactics helped the president build record support for himself and the plan in the polls, Mr. Obama must get into the nitty-gritty details, Mr. Franc said.
"If he stays at 30,000 feet, he's going to risk being thought of as the permanent campaigner," Mr. Franc said. "He'll seem like a one-trick pony who gives a great speech, but doesn't really know how to manipulate the levers of government or be a real leader."
"At some point, you want to know during a crisis your president has a grasp of the details and not just someone up on stage delivering a good line on command," he said.
The president told lawmakers that he wanted to explain exactly how his economic agenda would include "hard choices" for deficit reduction and said his administration already had identified more than $2 trillion in budget savings.
Mr. Obama said everyone - including himself - must "sacrifice some worthy priorities for which there are no dollars."
He also directly asked Congress to send him legislation capping carbon pollution as part of an overall energy plan.
Having previously offered partisan jabs at Mr. Bush and having been the subject of relentless attacks from congressional Republicans - all but three of whom voted against his economic stimulus - Mr. Obama was on the other side and had to cater not just to his own voters, but also to the nation at large.
But much of the address smacked of his campaign rhetoric, from his booming declaration that health care reform "cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year" to the gushing supporters in the chamber chanting his signature "Fired up. Ready to go" slogan after the speech.
Although he was more detailed Tuesday, Mr. Obama, like past presidents in this forum, duplicated his successful campaign tactic of using personal stories to bolster his policy platform.
Joining first lady Michelle Obama in her box in the House chamber were a Republican governor who backed his stimulus plan, a solar executive who benefited from its provisions and a South Carolina preteen who wrote a letter to the president asking for her crumbling school to be rebuilt. Mr. Obama mentioned several of his wife's guests during the address.
Mr. Obama is known for his speechmaking and has excelled in seven major critical addresses - his inaugural speech, his election night victory, his acceptance of the Democratic nomination, a global address in Berlin, a speech on race relations in America, an address to supporters after his first primary win in Iowa and his 2004 national political debut at the Democratic National Convention.
Tuesday's address, which was lasted 52 minutes, was his longest speech yet.
The acceptance speech in Denver clocked in at just over 40 minutes.
Among his detailed promises that night were: "I will cut taxes for 95 percent of all working families" and that he would recruit new teachers and pay them higher salaries, lines he repeated last night.
But he also painted the future with a broad brush, noting that "we rise or fall as one nation" and that the American promise includes "an economy that honors the dignity of work."

Blockbuster Agrees To Settle Privacy Class-Action
Blockbuster has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing it of violating federal video privacy laws by retaining information about consumers' movie rentals, court records show.
Blockbuster and the consumer who sued, Minnesota resident Baseem Missaghi, quietly filed papers earlier this month stating that they had "agreed on the principal terms" of a settlement.
Blockbuster and Missaghi said in the papers that they were still finalizing the deal, but expect to file the agreement with the U.S. District Court in Minnesota by early June.
If the settlement goes through, it will resolve a lawsuit dating to last September, when Missaghi alleged that Blockbuster unlawfully kept "a virtual digital dossier on millions of consumers nationwide."
He alleged that Blockbuster's records "contain not only its customers' credit card numbers and billing/contact information, but also a highly detailed account of their video viewing histories and preferences."
Missaghi argued that the data retention violates the Video Privacy Protection Act, a law passed in 1988 after a newspaper in Washington printed the video rental records of Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork. The law prohibits movie rental services from disclosing information about the movies people watch without their consent.
The act also
requires movie rental companies to destroy personally identifiable information
as soon as it is no longer needed.
Blockbuster isn't the only company that was accused recently of violating the Video Privacy Protection Act. Netflix, Hulu and Redbox all have been sued for allegedly violating the same law.
Netflix agreed to a $9 million settlement of the matter in February, though the details still haven't been made public.
But Hulu and Redbox are fighting the cases. Redbox recently convinced the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals that consumers have no right to sue for violations of the portion of the video privacy law that deals with retaining records, as opposed to disclosing them. But the lawsuit against Redbox is continuing because the consumers who are suing also allege that the company broke other laws.
The lawsuit against online video company Hulu accuses it of working with the analytics company KISSmetrics, which allegedly used "supercookies" to track people. Hulu is arguing that the federal video privacy law only applies to brick-and-mortar rental stores.
Blockbuster previously was sued for allegedly violating the same law by participating in Facebook's defunct Beacon program, which told users about their friends' activity at ecommerce sites.
That lawsuit eventually got rolled into the Beacon class-action litigation, which Facebook agreed to settle for $9.5 million.

Judged: 1 I was only able to see the last few minutes on the site above, but those minutes were exciting to see after having watched so many blown games. Nice to see our guys execute down the stretch. It's time this team gets it together and not always get a bad case of the "stupids" in crunch time. |
Judged: 1 1 Thank god for DVR. Love and Ridnour both hit a couple of "nothing but net" 3 pointers, and the wolves FINALLY tried to play a little defense. The Cav's only got a few good looks, and missed those, and otherwise got pushed deep into the shot clock before clanging a few off the rims themselves. I think the Cav's only scored about 9 points in the last 8:30 of the game. Jamison said that he got fouled on the last play, and Byron Scott was calling for one from the bench, but it would have been a travesty if one had been called. The contact was minimal and largely created by Jamison jumping in to Beasley, who had his arms straight up. Someone on the Cav's had a chance at a contested, off balance tip, but it rolled off. Nothing pretty about this game. Two currently lousy teams, but a "W" is still a "W", and we'll take it. |
PS. Ridnour's best game in quite some time. Flynn played better as well. Beasley (early) and Love (late) was just enough. Everyone else either struggled, or was pretty much a non-factor. Wes and Ridnour both hit the boards on the defensive end more than we are used to seeing, each being "johnny on the spot" and getting a few intermediate length rebounds.

Whaaaat?? SO the T-wolves beat Lebron and the Cavaliers? WOW. Merry Christmas indeed. LOL
Another non-televised game! On a weekend!(Of course we got to see their miserable road trip televised!) Worst coverage ever for the Wolves. Get rid of Jim Peterson and Tom Hannaman (or whatever his name is) and maybe people will watch! I've never seen a commentating duo lavish praise on the opposition like those two, and actually root for calls to go AGAINST the Wolves. They need to get kicked to the curb. They are awful. I cringe and mute the TV whenever there IS a televised game thanks to those two.

In the print world, a magazine's letters department is all about interaction. It's important that readers feel like there's an opportunity for open communication. When all is quiet, I'm not thinking everyone is satisfied, I'm thinking everyone is bored. No news is bad news. Truly, though, when readers send in letters to the editor, they're not just interfacing with the magazine, they're sending a shout out to the editor, the staff, and the rest of the readership. It's not just for fun that the letters page even exists. It's important for the magazine that readers feel they can have an open dialog with the folks behind the scenes. And this benefits the readers as well-albeit in a very delayed fashion. They're getting questions answered and, in some cases, affecting change. The letters department helps prevent the magazine from acting like a lump of content. The interaction fosters a sense of community, ownership, involvement, and loyalty, which, of course, helps achieve a sustained subscription base. Any of this sounding familiar? What the letters page accomplishes, on a fundamental level, is added value. Substitute stickiness for subscription, and we can slide right into the point of this editorial.
Web sites that offer content for whatever reason-retail, b2b, entertainment-should not sit back and let passive content do all the talking. We've seen sites go mad, obsessively assembling content into a collection that, according to the latest research, will attract and keep a healthy user base-it's contextual, targeted, dynamic, etc. Yet what we're experiencing is an increasingly savvy population of Web users whose initial naiveté is quickly wearing off. When they're not saying, "What have you done for me lately?" they're saying, "This is good, but how will it make my work/social/home life better? Where is the value here?" And in value we mean action, and the action is the buy-in because users will most likely find value when they're given the opportunity to take action with the content they've been served. I won't pay for general business or financial content. But if it's information that enables me to make an informed decision-to take action-then I'll be more likely to pay for it.
Same goes for interaction. I may not find the motivation to part with my money simply because I'm interacting, but if there's an opportunity for me to communicate with colleagues, editors, or other experts in my field, I'll be sure I make a repeat visit and spend quality time. Think of sites like Plastic.com, Slashdot, and even Salon-often the user-submitted content rivals in interest and informative value that of premium content.
The key here is motivation. The added value to a collection of content is the ability to motivate the consumer to get involved. Consider the following:
So, as in the letters department of any print magazine, it's not just the attraction of the content, it's the added benefit for users to become attached to the product through some kind of transaction.
There are plenty of sites out there that are complete time-wasters. Some of them are damn good at it and many of us are pretty good at wasting time now and then. But if you're offering a "solution," you'd better show your users where the action is.

Planetary Resources could employ hundreds to build asteroid-mining robots
- Steve Wilhelm
- Staff Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Planetary Resources Inc. intends to build robot-prospecting spacecraft in the Bellevue area, with the goal of identifying 20 to 30 asteroids worth mining by the end of this decade.
The near-earth asteroids would have harvestable amounts of rare metals such as platinum, plus hydrogen and oxygen, according to the billionaire space enthusiasts behind the latest space venture to land in the Puget Sound area. Platinum is now selling for $1,500 an ounce, more than gold.
While the company is starting off with just a "few dozen" engineers, it could employ "hundreds" of people to make the small robotic space vehicles that will target the asteroids, said Eric Anderson, co-chair and co-founder of the company, during a short interview on Tuesday.
And why Bellevue?
"We decided on Seattle because some investors were here, and some partners were here, and we found it a great place to live, and all the infrastructure and industry was what we need to do this," said Chris Lewicki, president and chief engineer.
The project was launched at a packed event at the Charles Simonyi Space Gallery at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Backers include Simonyi, a former Microsoft executive, along with other billionaires and celebrity business people including Google CEO Larry Page and Chairman Eric Schmidt; filmmaker and science buff James Cameron; and Ross Perot Jr., son of the former presidential candidate.
For a slide show of the event, click here.
Behind the staged event for media, about 150 people sat at red circular tables, where they had lunch after the press conference.
While Anderson declined to cite the specific cost of the project, he said a "swarm" of space robots could be launched for $500 million, which he called "a bargain."

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
JIA Shanghai
931 West Nanjing Road (entrance on Taixing Road), Shanghai, China
Neighborhood: Nanjing Rd
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The sequel to the Philippe Starck-designed JIA Hong Kong is a new direction for a successful franchise. JIA Shanghai is more a luxury-residence concept, at least in the design, courtesy of the Australian firm Hecker Phelan & Guthrie — it's a fully serviced boutique hotel, just like its sister in Hong Kong, but with perhaps a bit more of a discreet apartment-house atmosphere.
It's located in a well-preserved Twenties apartment building, a subdued exterior for a contemporary-design boutique. And inside it edges closer to design-magazine luxe, with bold graphic color schemes, an impressive collection of modern furnishings, and bathrooms decked out in marble and Bisazza mosaic tile. Rooms and suites are bright and sunny, especially those with balconies, and all come with entertainment centers, and free wireless internet, as well as a smattering of local color in the form of Chinese antiques.
You're by no means obligated to fend for yourself in that kitchenette — the second-floor Italian restaurant is helmed by Salvatore Cuomo, one of Japan's (and now China's) celebrity Italian chefs. And the location, just off the Nanjing Road, places you in close proximity to any number more, as well as most of Shanghai's best shopping.
Travel advisory: Passport and visa requirements differ from country to country. Please check with your local authority before booking.

So much was lost with free trade
Share via Email
Re: Mulroney and the truth about free trade, Column, Feb. 21
Mulroney and the truth about free trade, Column, Feb. 21
For many years before and after Brian Mulroney's free trade agreement I worked as a mechanical engineer with consulting firms. During those years I was involved in the design of a number of food processing plants. At least four of the plants were "grassroots" operations and were setting up in Canada because of the sales advantages offered.
All of those plants were closed down shortly after the FTA came into being and all were employers of large numbers of people who lost their jobs. Many of the other plants that I was involved with, mostly expansions of existing operations, also shut down their Canadian operations after the FTA.
When the FTA came into being, not only did plants shut down but the market for design of plants tapered off considerably and many engineering consulting firms laid off a number of engineers and architects. Some even closed completely and I am sure the domino effect came into play in many industries that relied on Canadian building for business.
I should probably add that because of the interest for companies to build in Canada, a great deal of new technology and advances in older technology was developed here and thus with the FTA a great deal was lost to other countries, mostly to the U.S.

Upgrade of National Grid Corp.'s Bacolod substation completed
By Amy R. RemoPhilippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines has completed the P13-million upgrade of its Bacolod substation in Negros Occidental to help improve the over-all reliability of the country's electric transmission system.
By upgrading its Bacolod Substation, the NGCP is able to comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) 61850 standard for the improvement of the communication operability and data transfer of power substations.
According to NGCP spokesperson Cynthia Alabanza, the project is expected to lead to more efficient and accurate operations because of less human intervention.
"Through this new system, monitoring and reporting of over-all substation status may be done in real-time, thereby improving the accuracy of information the computer transmits to our control centers. NGCP invests in these kinds of projects to improve our power delivery service to our customers and to prepare the grid for larger demand in the future," Alabanza said in a statement issued Tuesday.
Following the completion of the project last December 2012, the substation is now equiped with new microprocessor-based substation controls (MBSC) which were provided by the NARI Group Corp. and Maxipro Development Corp.
According to the NGCP, the MBSC technology is expected to automate functions of substations that were carried manually in the past. Through MBSC, substation operations and manipulation of switchyard equipment may be done remotely through computers inside the control room.
It added that the MBSC works in tandem with the protection relay, supervisory control and data acquisition, and anti-fire systems to boost the overall security and reliability of the substation.
The Bacolod Substation currently caters to the power needs of three electric cooperatives on Negros Island, namely, Negros Occidental Electric Cooperative Inc. (Noceco), VMC Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. (Vresco), and Central Negros Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Ceneco).

The Raiders are going nowhere this season. Matt Flynn has a water pistol for a right arm. They might as well see what they have Terrelle Pryor can do. If he lands the starting job, I want him on waiver speed dial. See the GIF below:

Death rattle of Manchester City's title defense goes quiet at Southampton
Feb 9, 2013, 4:40 PM EDT
Given the miraculous way Manchester City won last year's title, we've been cautious about calling the English Premier League race, but at some point we have to stop living in the past. Last year's Manchester City team was capable of tracking down Manchester United and finding a stoppage time title winner on the season's last day, but this team bares little resemblance to them. Most of the names are the same, and the general (squint your eyes) style of play is identical, but as full-time blew on Southampton's 3-1 win over the visiting Citizens, the defending champions looked incapable of defending their title.
Now the math's become daunting. The Citizens came into the day nine points back of league-leading United, who host Everton tomorrow. It's the same lead Barcelona holds over second place Atletico Madrid in Spain, a race few consider viable. If the Red Devils get a result tomorrow, only Bayern Munich will have a larger lead among Europe's top five leagues. The Premier League race may not be truly mathematically over, but in the parlance of the sport, it is done and dusted. If City makes this a race, they'll be rising from the dead.
(MORE: Bale double downs Newcastle.)
The holders were second best from the opening kickoff, with Saints taking advantage of an early Gareth Barry giveaway and some slack defending to go up in the seventh minute. James Puncheon punched Southampton in front. Steven Davis doubled Saints' lead in the 22nd before Edin Dzeko gave City momentary life, scoring in the 39th.
Then Barry, capping an uncharacteristically poor performance, provided a perfect finish to Ricky Lambert's 48th minute cross, beating Joe Hart to put Southampton up 3-1 and deal his team a demoralizing blow.
Southamption is a better team than their 15th-place record suggests, and with a progressive style of play that challenges teams expecting reverence from their opponents, you can see why they gave City trouble. Still, a more ready reason for City's failures rests with the men from Manchester. They are just nowhere near as good as they were last year. The strength and constant imposition that defined last year's squad as been replaced with a dependence on resilience and ingenuity, a dependance that's failed to carry then through the season. They're a different team, a worse team, and a squad that's not going to replicate last year's miracles.
(MORE: Chelsea back into the win column | Arsenal hold on at Sunderland.)
Out of Europe, too far behind Manchester United, and in no danger of falling out of the top four, all that's left is for City to reclaim the FA Cup. They travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United next weekend. After that, they enter the ennui-laden state of a disappointing squad forced to cast their eyes to next year four months too soon.

The Big Ten took a bit of a beating in Week 2, and so did the Big Ten bloggers.
Not surprisingly, Bennett continues to look like the smarter blogger, as his 9-3 record topped me at 8-4. It's not much of a win to savor.
First, a check of the standings:
Adam Rittenberg: 8-4
Brian Bennett: 9-3
Rittenberg: 17-7 (.708)
Bennett: 19-5 (.792)
Now let's look back at those predictions ...
Iowa at Iowa State
Not surprisingly, Bennett continues to look like the smarter blogger, as his 9-3 record topped me at 8-4. It's not much of a win to savor.
First, a check of the standings:
Adam Rittenberg: 8-4
Brian Bennett: 9-3
Rittenberg: 17-7 (.708)
Bennett: 19-5 (.792)
Now let's look back at those predictions ...
Iowa at Iowa State
- Bennett's pick: Iowa 24, Iowa State 9
- Rittenberg's pick: Iowa 27, Iowa State 13
- Actual score: Iowa State 44, Iowa 41 (3 OT)
- 20-20 hindsight: We both had too much faith in Iowa's new-look defense and too little faith in Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz, who boasts a great name and plenty of game, too. Marcus Coker fell one rushing touchdown short of my prediction and racked up 140 rush yards but lost another fumble.
- Bennett's pick: Michigan State 35, Florida Atlantic 7
- Rittenberg's pick: Michigan State 33, Florida Atlantic 10
- Actual score: Michigan State 44, Florida Atlantic 0
- 20-20 hindsight: We both predicted a strong performance from Michigan State on the ground, but neither of us forecast such a dominating defensive effort. The Spartans allowed no points, one first down and just 48 total yards against the Owls, who had the ball for just 17:34.
- Bennett's pick: Ohio State 28, Toledo 10
- Rittenberg's pick: Ohio State 31, Toledo 13
- Actual score: Ohio State 27, Toledo 22
- 20-20 hindsight: We both underestimated a solid Toledo squad, and perhaps the Buckeyes did, too. Ohio State's defense faced some hurdles against the Rockets, while Buckeyes running back Carlos Hyde made me look somewhat smart with two rushing touchdowns.
- Bennett's pick: Wisconsin 42, Oregon State 20
- Rittenberg's pick: Wisconsin 35, Oregon State 13
- Actual score: Wisconsin 35, Oregon State 0
- 20-20 hindsight: We both did well on the Wisconsin score, but we figured Oregon State would do more on offense. The Badgers' defense dominated play, while Montee Ball fulfilled Bennett's prediction with another solid performance (118 rush yards, 2 touchdowns).
- Bennett's pick: Illinois 44, South Dakota State 7
- Rittenberg's pick: Illinois 40, South Dakota State 12
- Actual score: Illinois 56, South Dakota State 3
- 20-20 hindsight: We both envisioned another big day for the Illinois offense, although neither of us pegged running back Troy Pollard to be a key contributor. Illinois' defensive performance was a bit better than both of us expected.
- Bennett's pick: Northwestern 31, Eastern Illinois 13
- Rittenberg's pick: Northwestern 38, Eastern Illinois 10
- Actual score: Northwestern 42, Eastern Illinois 21
- 20-20 hindsight: Our score predictions would have looked a lot better had Northwestern kept EIU out of the end zone in the final minute. As I thought, Northwestern emphasized the run game again and finished with 320 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
- Bennett's pick: Minnesota 35, New Mexico State 14
- Rittenberg's pick: Minnesota 31, New Mexico State 13
- Actual score: New Mexico State 28, Minnesota 21
- 20-20 hindsight: We both totally whiffed here. Although I cited a potential letdown from the USC game in my prediction, we both expected the Gophers to roll against what looked like a lousy New Mexico State team. Fail.
- Bennett's pick: Alabama 24, Penn State 12
- Rittenberg's pick: Alabama 19, Penn State 13
- Actual score: Alabama 27, Penn State 11
- 20-20 hindsight: Finally, an impressive score prediction, courtesy of Mr. Bennett. My lack of faith in Penn State's quarterbacks revealed itself, and as I thought, Alabama running back Trent Richardson came on strong late in the game.
- Bennett's pick: Purdue 19, Rice 16
- Rittenberg's pick: Purdue 26, Rice 18
- Actual score: Rice 24, Purdue 22
- 20-20 hindsight: Neither of us were overly confident in the Boilers, and Bennett correctly put them on upset alert. We didn't give enough credence to the karma factor, as a Purdue team that escaped its opener against Middle Tennessee lost in heart-breaking fashion as Rice blocked a short field-goal attempt by standout kicker Carson Wiggs on the final play.
- Bennett's pick: Virginia 34, Indiana 23
- Rittenberg's pick: Virginia 27, Indiana 17
- Actual score: Virginia 34, Indiana 31
- 20-20 hindsight: Bennett nailed Virginia's points total and I wasn't too far off, but neither of us envisioned Indiana squandering an 8-point lead in the final minutes. The Hoosiers did produce a better performance in the opener, as we thought, although their number of big plays on defense came as a surprise.
- Bennett's pick: Nebraska 31, Fresno State 10
- Rittenberg's pick: Nebraska 33, Fresno State 14
- Actual score: Nebraska 42, Fresno State 29
- 20-20 hindsight: We both picked the Huskers, but neither of us thought Fresno State would gash the Blackshirts as much as it did. Rex Burkhead had two rushing touchdowns but not the big day I envisioned, while Fresno State surprisingly looked like a giant killer for a portion of the game.
- Bennett's pick: Michigan 31, Notre Dame 30
- Rittenberg's pick: Notre Dame 24, Michigan 21
- Actual score: Michigan 35, Notre Dame 31
- 20-20 hindsight: Bennett looks like the genius here, as he predicted "crazy things happen in this game" and "Denard Robinson pulls off more heroics." I couldn't have written it better myself. I wish I had. Damn.

Need help with exterior colors!! Help!

I am trying to figure out what our exterior paint colors should be. Eventually we will do some updating to the facade of the house but right now we will be putting on a high definition roof, painting the exterior and taking off the house numbers and adding larger numbers in addition to adding new light fixtures on either side of the door. I would like something in the gray-greens, tans with a black or red door. Also, I would like to also add fixed shutters.
How do I add a photo so everyone could see what I am trying to change? Thank you,

I'm planning a trip with my daughter in July. We aren't interested in sitting in a bus so we decided to travel via rail. We would like to visit Venice, Florence, Sorrento/Amalfi Coast and at this time take a trip to Perugia and then off to Rome. What's the best way to get from Sorrento to Perugia? Someone suggested we rent a car, but I'm not convinced it safe to drive there. Any suggestions on the best site to book trip that we can trust. I feel so overwhelmed by all the travel sites and the different package prices. Thank you!

First thing to do is to view all of the old Fodor's Forums postings about this subject. Once you have a better understanding of your choices, and a bunch of opinions, then come back an ask specific questions about those things you're not sure about.
For train travel, I'd start with www.trenitalia.com Fair warning, it's a seemingly fussy site, you almost have to trick it to get an answer.
For hotels, try www.venere.com to get an idea about what is available by price range, quality and locations. You don't have to use this site, just use it to help you in choosing hotels.
Personally speaking, I've driven in Italy. I take the train when I can. -
Report Abuse
You can take the train from Perugia to Rome, then from Rome to Napoli, then from Napoli to Sorrento. The whole journey is about 400 km.
Report Abuse
Is there any reason you're wanting to go down to Rome from Venice/Florence? You don't mention whether you're flying in but if you are I would get an open jaw ticket coming into Venice (or Milan) and flying out further south in Naples.
Then I would use Italian trains (Trenitalia) to do something like:
Venice > Florence > Perugia >Rome > Naples > Sorrento
You can book most 90 days in advance. The Naples to Sorrento train is just a local Circumvesuviana as far as I recall so you can just get that on the day at the ticket office for the same price. -
Report Abuse
You've gotten advice about trains, so I won't repeat that, but what makes you think driving a car in Italy isn't safe? It's a heck of a lot safer than driving around where I live in the USA. Italian drivers have to demonstrate a LOT more skills to get a license than Americans do.

>>>We aren't interested in sitting in a bus so we decided to travel via rail. <<<
Some buses are better/faster than some trains. Depends on itinerary and type of train.
