COLUMBIA, SC — The graduation rates for S.C. high school students and the report card ratings of the state's schools both improved in 2012 in spite of rising poverty rates.
Almost three quarters of all S.C. high school students – 74.9 percent – graduated on time in 2012, up from 73.6 percent in 2011. "On time" means a student graduated within four years.
While it is the highest graduation rate since 2008, it is still was below 2003's 78 percent graduation rate.
"Students, parents and teachers deserve the credit for the gains made in graduation rates," said state schools Superintendent Mick Zais. "The prospects for long-term economic growth and job creation improve as more students graduate from high school with the skills necessary to compete for jobs in the workforce, enlist in the military or enroll in an institution of higher education."
Graduation rates for African-American, Hispanic and poor students – those receiving subsidized meals – are at their highest levels since the state began releasing data on those student groups in 2004.
Seven in 10 children attending public schools in South Carolina are eligible for the free or reduced-price lunch and/or Medicaid health-care programs for the poor. That is up 1 percentage point from 2011.
Poverty is pervasive in S.C. schools. Only 40 schools statewide have fewer than 30 percent of their students living in poverty.
Zais said there is room for improvement. For example, the graduation rate at 86 of the state's 219 high schools fell below the statewide average.
"The fact remains one out of every four high school students won't graduate on time or, eventually, drop out of school," Zais said. "We can do far better as a state and past experience proves we can."
Report card grades improve
Separately, the 2012 school and school district report cards released Tuesday also showed improvement as more schools and districts received a performance rating of "average" or higher.
Of the state's 84 school districts, 72 received a rating of at least "average," an increase of four districts over 2011.
• The number of schools found "at risk" because of poor academic performance – the lowest category possible – declined to 61, the lowest level since 2009.
• 42 school districts were rated "excellent" or "good" in 2012 – the two highest categories in the state's five-category scale. That is up from 33 in 2011, a 27 percent increase.
• 629 schools were rated "excellent" or "good," up from 529 in 2011, a 19 percent increase.
• 61 percent of S.C. students attended schools rated "excellent" or "good" in the 2011-12 school year.
As with the graduation rates, some high-poverty schools and districts are beating the odds and succeeding. Of the 61 school districts, where more than 70 percent of students live in poverty, 21 were rated "excellent" or "good."
"This performance is evidence that high academic standards, quality teaching, parental involvement and community support can mitigate the negative impact of poverty on students and their successes," said Neil C. Robinson, Jr., chairman of the Education Oversight Committee, the state's education watchdog group.
Robinson points to Darlington County as proof.
Darlington is the third-highest performing school district in South Carolina, rated "excellent," despite the fact that 82 percent of its students live in poverty. The Calhoun, Barnwell 29 and Saluda school districts also were rated "excellent" despite more than 80 percent of their students living in poverty.
The school and district report-card ratings are based on student performance on the state's standardized test, the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards; the high school exit exam; end-of-course tests; on-time and five-year high school graduation rates and other factors.

Exit Loan Counseling
When you apply for graduation from UNK, withdraw from classes or drop below half-time enrollment, and if you have borrowed student loans to help pay for your education, you will be notified of opportunities to attend an Exit Loan Counseling session. The purpose of Exit Loan Counseling is to help you become well prepared and knowledgeable regarding the repayment of the student loans you have borrowed. Exit Loan Counseling at UNK may be completed in one of the following ways:
For students who will be graduating from UNK, the Exit Loan Counseling session is a requirement. If you will be graduating from UNK and have not yet completed the Exit Loan Counseling session, you will see a reminder on your "To Do List" on MyBLUE. Once you have completed a group counseling session or an online counseling session, the reminder will be removed from your "To Do List."
Completing the Exit Loan Counseling session is not only required for graduation from UNK, but it is an important way to begin planning for the repayment of your student loans as you leave college and begin your career. Undergraduate students who graduated from UNK in the fall of 2013 had, on average, $24,040 of Federal Student Loan debt. Payment for this average debt load will be approximately $276/month for 10 years. For graduate students, the average loan debt was $43,977, which would result in approximate payments of $506/month for 10 years. Completing the Exit Loan Counseling session will help you become knowledgeable about the resources you have available to you during repayment and confident about your ability to manage your loans.

Review of the 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Although it's a luxurious GT that seats four, the 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti has no problem keeping up with smaller two-seat sports cars.
- Safety
Powerful V12, agile handling despite large size, four seats, real-world usefulness, prancing horse prestige.
High price compared to rivals, carbon/ceramic brake package costs more than an Audi A3, styling that does little to inspire enthusiasm.
What's New for 2007
The 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti gets standard feature enhancements and a few new performance packages. New audio and navigation systems…
Read full review
Full 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Review
What's New for 2007
The 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti gets standard feature enhancements and a few new performance packages. New audio and navigation systems debut, complete with a new display panel, as does standard parking assist. The available HGTS package provides a quicker-acting F1 gearbox, sport exhaust and colored brake calipers, while the HGTC package includes those items plus carbon/ceramic disc brakes, unique wheels and a chrome accent for the rear diffuser.
Elegant four-place grand touring coupes powered by V12s are as much a Ferrari tradition as Sunday pasta dinners in Italy. But this famous marque's 2+2s have never enjoyed the popularity of their two-seat brethren. The 612 Scaglietti, introduced just a few years ago, is looking to change that. It was designed by famed stylist Pininfarina, but pays homage to Sergio Scaglietti. Signore Scaglietti was another highly respected designer/coachbuilder of Ferraris gone by whose works of art include the 250 GTO of the early 1960s.
Under the sculpted skin, the 612 features all-aluminum construction for reduced weight. At more than 4,000 pounds, the 612 is not exactly a lightweight, but it's still 600-1,200 pounds lighter than competitors like the Bentley Continental GT and Mercedes-Benz CL63. Its V12 engine makes 540 horsepower and is capable of launching this four-seater to 60 mph in a shade over 4 seconds and on to a top speed very close to 200 mph.
The big V12 is mounted rearward enough so the 612 is considered a front-midengine car. The resulting 46/54 front/rear weight balance is ideal for a performance car, and although some may think it gives the car awkward proportions, there's no denying that this architecture, along with the focus on weight reduction, makes good on its promises. Even in the rarefied atmosphere of high-performance exotic GTs, the 612 Scaglietti stands out, thanks to its agile handling that makes the car feels two-thirds its size.
In basic analysis, the 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti doesn't make much sense. The Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG is half the cost and boasts more techno-wizardry, while the Continental GT (also less expensive) offers a more sumptuous cabin. But the purchase of such cars usually involves more than just logic. In terms of passion and driver involvement, this four-seat Ferrari has no equal.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti comes in a 2+2 coupe body style. There is one trim level and standard equipment includes xenon headlights, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels wearing 245/45 front and 285/40 rear performance tires, an adaptive suspension system, a power-closing trunk, rear park assist, heated exterior mirrors, automatic dual-zone climate control, power front seats and a navigation system. Also standard is a Bose audio system with Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a 4GB audio storage bank and a trunk-mounted six-CD changer.
Optional features include heated front seats, a space-saver spare tire kit, run-flat tires and a six-piece fitted leather luggage set. Those seeking further distinction may request special interior and exterior colors. Should you desire even higher performance, the HGTS package provides a quicker-acting F1 gearbox, sport exhaust and colored brake calipers, while the HGTC package includes those items plus carbon/ceramic disc brakes, unique wheels and a chrome accent for the rear diffuser.
Powertrains and Performance
A 5.7-liter V12 that develops 540 hp and 434 pound-feet of torque powers the 612 Scaglietti. All that force is sent to the rear tires via either a traditional six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed "F1" transmission. The F1 is a computer-controlled, electrohydraulic manual transmission with an automated clutch. Drivers can choose a fully automatic shifting mode or manually select gears via steering-wheel-mounted paddles. According to Ferrari, the 612 Scaglietti is capable of sprinting from zero to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and hitting a top speed just shy of 200 mph.
Antilock disc brakes, stability control and traction control are standard. Side- and side-curtain airbags are not available, as Ferrari claims that the 612 provides excellent protection without needing them.
Interior Design and Special Features
Although Ferraris typically sacrifice some comfort in exchange for maximum performance, the 612 Scaglietti breaks with tradition by being the most luxurious and accommodating Ferrari in recent memory. High-quality leather upholstery and aluminum trim are used throughout the cabin. Drivers can control the car's many interactive systems via small, intuitive buttons mounted on the steering wheel. Accessing the two rear bucket seats isn't exactly easy, but once situated, passengers will find supportive seats and adequate room. The 612's trunk can hold 8.5 cubic feet of cargo.
Driving Impressions
The 2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is thankfully more than just a collection of high-tech gadgetry. Steering effort is lighter than on the F430, but perfectly suited for this market segment -- and clearly better than anything the competition has to offer. It's this light but intuitive steering, along with the car's nimble nature that makes it a delight to drive. The V12 is supremely powerful, of course, and it delivers linear power accompanied by an enthusiastic soundtrack. Though earlier Ferrari F1 transmissions were a bit truculent in everyday driving, the 612's updated version is a major improvement. Its shift quality is excellent in almost any situation, and most drivers should be fully satisfied with it.

Aspirin a Day Yes or No?Posted: Tuesday, January 15, 2008Is an aspirin a day good for you, and how much should you take?
Ten years after the FDA issued recommendations about the use of aspirin for people who have had heart attacks or are at risk for them, it is finally time to address the issue of how much you should be taking.
University of Kentucky heart disease researchers say that nearly a quarter of a million Americans each year may be hospitalized with bleeding complications caused by needlessly taking a daily dose of an adult-sized aspirin rather than a baby aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke. Last year, a study by a group of UK HealthCare Gill Heart Institute cardiologists at the University of Kentucky found that the commonly prescribed 325 mg adult tablet may be more than many people need each day. The study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that doses higher than a baby aspirin, 75 to 81 mg, are no better at preventing cardiovascular events long-term and are associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Gill Heart Institute cardiologists and University of Kentucky College of Medicine faculty Dr. Charles Campbell, Dr. Steven R. Steinhubl and Dr. Susan Smyth, along with Dr. Gilles Montalescot of the Instjtut de Cardiologie-Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Pitié--Salpętričre in Paris, France, systematically reviewed published data regarding clinical studies involving aspirin dosing. Even in patients with diabetes, who may be more difficult to treat, they found no large-scale studies that support higher doses of aspirin. "While aspirin is an effective drug for the prevention of clots," said Campbell, lead author of the report, "the downside of aspirin therapy is an increased tendency for bleeding (particulary from the GI tract). We believe the minimum effective dose should be utilized (75-81 mg)." However, Campbell notes, "We also believe more study in this area is warranted to determine if the minimum dose is effective for everyone, or if dose should be adjusted from person to person." Aspirin is the most-used drug in the world. More than 50 million people, or 36 percent of the adult population in the United States, consume 10 to 20 billion aspirin tablets each year to protect their hearts from clots, which are the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes. "Patients should check with their doctor to be sure, but there is almost no one who needs to take more than 81 mg of aspirin a day for protection from heart attacks," Campbell said. Going forward, the study notes that the greatest challenge ahead for physicians may be to determine how to identify the best blood-thinning regimen for their patients. Source: Diabetes In Control |

Depression is medical condition that affects people of all genders, races, ages, and income levels. People who are depressed feel more than sadness or "the blues." They feel hopeless and suffer deep emotional pain for prolonged periods. Depression can cause dysfunction in every aspect of one's life.
Nearly one in five Americans will experience depression sometime in their lifetime, and more than 19 million Americans suffer from a depressive disorder each year.

Whiting: Hunting for waterfalls in O.C.
By DAVID WHITING
In the wake of the recent storms, this is the best time in three years to check out the county's waterfalls. Consider the last major storm was December 2010. First, some cautionary points: You're hunting for waterfalls because the streams are swollen with water. But there can be such a thing as too much water. If the

Mountain biker found dead in Cleveland forest was celebrating birthday
Christyna Arista was not going to wait. Her husband, Andres Marin, was lost in the darkness in the Cleveland National Forest, injured, disoriented, cold, wet and lightly dressed. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department had suspended its search for the night Saturday and the volunteers with the Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit had

Whiting: Column ends, but connections remain
By DAVID WHITING
A call to a different duty means this is my last regular column. That's a tough thing to write and tougher to consider because of you, our readers.

BONEY MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS – Sitting on a sandstone slab on Backbone Trail, the endorphin-rush of the day's cliff climbs slips away into serenity.

After a recent column about a friend killed while road riding, many of you sent exceptionally thoughtful condolence notes. Thank you so much. Your kind thoughts about Pete Tomaino mean a great deal.

Whiting: Is ex-officer Cicinelli physically qualified for his old job?
No matter what you think of Jay Cicinelli, we can agree the fired Fullerton police officer doesn't suffer from low self-esteem. Most would thank the heavens if they were acquitted of involuntary manslaughter after a jury watched the video of the brutal takedown of Kelly Thomas, the homeless schizophrenic who died after his arrest.

Facing hundreds of acres of wildfire, dry chaparral and gusts of wind nearly strong enough to knock him over, the Granite Mountain Hotshots firefighter supervisor concluded his ridge was no longer the place to be.

On the day that 19 Arizona Hotshot firefighters died, the crew spent the morning carefully setting fires along a rugged two-track road to burn off fuel and create a perimeter for a growing wildfire.

In a move that might revitalize both his basketball and his reality television career ... Lamar Odom is heading back to Los Angeles ... 'cause he's officially been picked up by the Clippers.
Odom was the main piece in a four-team trade that was finalized this afternoon. LO will be leaving the Dallas Mavericks, where he spent one absolutely terrible season.
Lamar is in the final year of his contract and will make $8.2 million this year.
This will be Odom's second stint with the Clip Squad ... he was drafted 4th overall by the team back in 1999. He later spent seven season with the Lakers.
How happy are Khloe (and E! producers) right about now?
Now all he has to do is put a his wife in a kennel for the season and get back and play ball. I believe she is out to kill his career as a B-Ball player. Hay O, Man up and put that thing your married to in her place and be great like you use to be before you meet the thing....
What a relief I was so worried there would be NO Kardashian Front Page News.
I was afraid TMZ Mike was falling down on his $$$ commitment to the K's.
He'll be released by Thanksgiving. His career is over. Once he hooked up with that she-male, skank Khloe it was all over.
Awesome, coming back to Cali like LL Cool J back in the day :D
.....going back to Cali...stylin'...profilin'...growlin' and smilin'...while in the sun....top is down on the black Corvette...and it's fly...cause it's sittin' on Daytons....
Oh Jesus.....Say it isn't so......Now that Kardashian filth will start up again. Clippers, you ought to be ashamed!
It's all about Money. the Clippers who want more advertising hooked it up with the Producers of Khloe and Lamar show and agreed on a deal..If the show films the Clippers Arena and games and such and makes a Buzz about the Clippers like the show did when he played for the Laker's they let him play this season. Follow the money.

The Market's Latest Victim: 'Buy-And-Hold' Strategy
As traditional market signposts lose their relevance, so does the traditional "buy-and-hold" strategy that investors have followed for decades.
Market pros in increasing numbers are eschewing the usual investing strategies and watching technical levels as their guides for making money. They examine temporary market tops and bottoms as guidelines when to sell and buy, and are in many cases utilizing funds rather than individual stocks to make their plays.
Earnings and economic data have proven unreliable to gauge the long-term prospects for the market, which has become a trader's battlefield. Money that once stayed put for three to five years can now get moved in three to five days or sooner.
"What's happening is people have learned that if you don't take a profit it goes away," says Kathy Boyle, president of Chapin Hill Advisors in New York. "Even somebody who's really biased towards buy-and-hold is giving up."
The phenomenon has been on display markedly since earnings season kicked into gear this month.
More than half the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 have beaten earnings expectations, yet the stock index has dropped nearly 7 percent.
The economic data, meanwhile, have been close to expectations. Friday's report on fourth-quarter GDP was actually better than what Wall Street predicted—though at a 3.7 percent drop, the numbers were hardly encouraging.
For Investors
- Video: Time For a Rebound, Playing the Pessimism
- Options Traders Have Gold Fever
- Welch: GE Poised for a Recovery
But investors seem to be ignoring the data.
Instead, they've turned towards more of a trader's mentality, pushing the Dow back up when it approaches 8,000 and the S&P when it falls near 800. It's a trend that bucks the traditional long-term horizon most investors are supposed to take, but for many it's working.
"The idea of saying valuations are historically low so we're just going to buy and hold, that comes at great peril over the next year or two," says Lee Schultheis, founder and chief investment strategist at AIP Funds in Harrison, N.Y. "But also being overly bearish might also come at peril if the government's able to get ahead of the curve on the liquidity-credit issue. Once that gets solved equities will have the opportunity to advance."
Indeed, Boyle has moved nimbly in and out of positions in exchange-traded funds--these days mostly those with a bullish look on the market. She expects a run higher for the market to last into mid-February, when stocks will move lower and Boyle will quit or reverse her positions.
Dealing with the market's intense moodiness is all part of the job these days.
"People get hopeful and say, 'oh good,' and pile in, or they get depressed and they hit the support level," Boyle says. "It certainly makes for an interesting day every day."
A Better Mood—For Now
Even as the market was surrendering the gains it saw earlier in the week, there was plenty of enthusiasm for the market to go higher.
Ben Lichtenstein, a long-time bear who had been warning through much of 2008 about the pressures facing the market, reiterated on CNBC that he thinks stocks are in for a nice gain, with the S&P 500 flirting with the mid-900s if it breaks through 880.
"Everybody expected the worst to happen and it's slowly starting to fade out a little bit," he said. "I think the energy's only to the upside right now." See full comments in video.
Lichtenstein, of Tradersaudio.com, could be expected to follow technical levels.
But those with a traditional investors' horizon of 18 months and beyond are following suit, moving through positions in a way that would be discouraged in a normal market.
Some advisors are disturbed at the trend.

Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk recently told The Eagle-Tribune that he would wonder whether he would ever get his shot in the NHL while playing for six years and 374 games in the AHL.
The 29-year-old played just five NHL games before his 25th birthday and wasn't given a real shot in the NHL until approximately three months before his 26th birthday.
His fellow Bruins defenseman got their shots at much earlier ages. Zdeno Chara played 297 NHL games before turning 25. Andrew Ference played 244 NHL games before his 25th birthday. Aaron Johnson played 146 NHL games before turning 25. Dennis Seidenberg played 126 NHL games before age 25. Adam McQuaid played 88 NHL games before turning 25. And Dougie Hamilton is a rookie at 19 years old.
The Red Sox have several promising minor league pitchers (Matt Barnes, Allen Webster, Rubby De La Rosa) who I featured in The Eagle-Tribune this winter.
One pitcher who didn't receive any ink is Brandon Workman who the organization named its minor league Pitcher of the Year for 2012.
Workman, 24, combined to go 10-8 with a 3.50 ERA and 130 strikeouts in 25 starts between High-A Salem and Double A-Portland.
"He's going to attack you with his fastball, that's his pitch," teammate Jackie Bradley Jr. recently said. "That's his pitch. He likes to establish his fastball and he's a workhorse. His name Workman — he works. That's how I really feel when he's on the mound. It's quick. He's going to get out there and try to get it done as quick as he can and give his team an opportunity to put some runs on the board for him."
Congrats to North Andover girls basketball which on Saturday played in its first Division 2 North final in 21 years.
Morgan Lumb's return to the lineup in February from a high ankle sprain was definitely the biggest reason the Scarlet Knights earned a spot in the finals. She had a terrific high school career and will play at Hartford next year.
But the Mello sisters also were terrific during parts of the Scarlet Knights' playoff run, which ended in Saturday's championship with a 50-33 loss to powerhouse Reading.
Michaela Mello, a senior, was huge in North Andover's semifinal win over Belmont, scoring 14 points in the second half. She does not plan to play varsity basketball in college.
"I might do club or intramural but I want to go to a big D-1 school," said Mello, whose top choices include UConn, UMass and the University of South Carolina.
Mello's sister, junior Mackenzie Mello, provided both strong offense and defense down the stretch and will be an important part to the team's success next year.
Red Sox assistant-GM Brian O'Halloran has an interesting past.
He is a Weymouth, Mass. native — same as me — and the same place where former Red Sox media relations director and current senior director of public affairs Pam Ganley lives.
But more interestingly, according to his bio in the 2013 Red Sox media guide, "before working in baseball, he spent two years in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia studying ethnic conflict and three years in Moscow, Russia supervising business operations for an international logistics company. O'Halloran is fluent in Russian and Georgian."
He received his bachelor's degree from Colby College and an MBA from UCLA.

Lancaster ranked 7th in Guardian University Guide 2013
Published 22 May 2012
Lancaster University is ranked 7th out of 120 institutions in the UK in The Guardian University Guide 2013, published 22 May 2012.
The Guide is designed to help students pick a course for 2013. The tables are based on measures such as graduate career prospects, how highly final-year students rate their experience, a value-added score, spending per student and staffing ratios.
Professor Amanda Chetwynd, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Colleges and the Student Experience, said: "Lancaster has fostered a culture of prioritising the student experience and teaching, and has striven to guard its strong research record with a significant investment in new teaching staff. This in turn has improved staff/student ratios."
She said that Lancaster does well on the measure for student satisfaction and appeals to students who enjoy the friendly and informal atmosphere, access to their tutors and a cosmopolitan mix.
"We think that the combination of the strong academic reputation, emphasis on employability and the student experience has resulted in Lancaster experiencing a surge in popularity, and this strong demand is pushing up grades. Lancaster now has over 60% of students with AAB grades or better which is another league-table measure."
The Guide showed that 89% of final-year students at Lancaster University were satisfied with teaching while 88% were satisfied overall, based on the National Student Survey (NSS).
Lancaster University, ranked 7th equal overall with Durham, also scored highly in the individual subject rankings: Lancaster is 13th for both Business/Management Studies and Economics, and Business/Management Studies is ranked 3rd in the UK for 'Career Prospects'.
LUMS has its own award-winning Careers, Alumni and Employer Relations team, whose work with students and employers has helped take student employability to a higher level. "We start working with students as soon as they join the Management School", says Louise Briggs, who heads the team. "It ensures that students are equipped to succeed in a highly competitive graduate labour market, and we are also very fortunate to be supported by top global recruiters."
The tables were compiled for The Guardian by Intelligent Metrix, an independent consultancy that specialises in measuring performance in higher education. The rankings are based on official data collected by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa) and on the National Student Survey, published by HEFCE.
The Guardian league tables follows a ranking of 9th for Lancaster University in the recent Complete University Guide 2013.

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.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
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.
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.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
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.
"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."
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
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 tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
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.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
It is one thing to say that death is primordial; it is another to view it as the central means of creation. The theological uneasiness about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God's creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.

DENVER (AP) — Dog lovers concerned about recent cases where law enforcement fatally shot people's pets are lobbying Colorado lawmakers on a bill to train law enforcement on how to handle canine encounters in the line of duty.
The bill is up for its first hearing in a Senate committee Wednesday. Hundreds of dog owners will rally at the Capitol for the bill.
The bill cites "Dog Fancy" magazine recognizing Colorado as one of the most dog-friendly states, and lawmakers say residents consider their dogs to be family members.
The proposal would require sheriff and police departments to train deputies and officers on how to recognize dog behaviors and employ nonlethal methods to control them when necessary.
The County Sheriffs of Colorado worked on the legislation and support it.

But there is a sharp difference between upward "mobility," defined as an opportunity to rise, and mobility defined as actually having risen.

New York's new mayor, Bill de Blasio, in his inaugural speech, denounced people "on the far right" who "continue to preach the virtue of trickle-down economics."

As Christmas approaches, the shopping mall can become a shopping maul. One of the ways of buying gifts for family and friends, without becoming part of a mob scene in the stores, is to shop on the Internet. However, for many kinds of gifts, you want to be able to see it directly, and perhaps handle it, before you part with your hard-earned cash.

The fleet of foot are the ones who can take advantage of these specials. Travel experts suggest joining the newsletter of your favorite airline, typically they will notify their loyal followers first. Then you are on your way to a romantic vacation on Kauai.

The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations says catcher Mike Napoli and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a $39 million, three-year contract.
The deal is subject to Napoli passing a physical, which will take place later this week, the person said Monday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet final.
A 31-year-old who also plays first base, Napoli hit .320 with 30 homers and 75 RBIs as the Texas Rangers won their second straight AL pennant in 2011, then slumped to a .227 average with 24 homers and 56 RBIs this year.
