Brawn GP Formula One Team, the trading name of Brawn GP Limited, was a Formula One motor racing team and constructor, created by a management buyout of Honda Racing F1 Team. It only competed in the 2009 Formula One World Championship, with drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. The team clinched that year's constructors' championship, and Button took the drivers' title. For 2010, the team again changed identity, becoming Mercedes GP.
On its racing debut, the season-opening 2009 Australian Grand Prix, the team took pole position and 2nd place in qualifying and went on to finish first and second in the race. Button won six of the first seven races of the season and on 18 October at the Brazilian Grand Prix, he secured the 2009 Drivers' Championship and the team won the Constructors' Championship. Barrichello won twice and finished third in the Drivers' Championship. The team won eight of the season's seventeen races, and by winning both titles in its only year of competition became the first to achieve a 100% championship success rate.
On 16 November 2009 it was confirmed that the team's engine supplier, Mercedes-Benz, in partnership with Aabar Investments had purchased a 75.1% stake in Brawn GP (Mercedes: 45.1%; Aabar: 30%),[1] which was renamed Mercedes GP for the 2010 season.[2]
Brawn GP was formed on 6 March 2009 when it was confirmed that Ross Brawn, the former technical director for the Honda Racing F1 Team, Ferrari and Benetton teams, had bought the team from Honda[3] in the wake of the Japanese marque's withdrawal from the sport in December 2008. On 17 March 2009 the FIA officially agreed to the name change from Honda Racing F1 Team to Brawn GP. Although the team can be seen as a continuation of the Honda team (arguably the 4th incarnation of Tyrrell/BAR/Honda), the FIA considered Brawn GP to be an entirely new entry, but Keith Hayes, Vice President of FIA, agreed to waive the standard entry fee in recognition of the team's circumstances.[4]
With the loss of Honda's engines, Ross Brawn stated that several manufacturers offered to supply the team's engines, but it was the Mercedes-Benz engines that best fitted the car[5] with Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello comprising the driver line-up.
Although Honda were thought to be the first team to run a KERS in 2008,[6] Ross Brawn stated in an interview that owing to the circumstances of the change in ownership the team had not had the time to develop the system.[7] On 20 March it was confirmed that Brawn GP would be allocated the final pitlane slot, with Force India moving up one slot. Bernie Ecclestone suggested that this was due to the takeover involving a name change, saying that "If [...] it was called Honda. Whatever was due to Honda, they [Brawn GP] would have got."[8] For this reason Brawn GP were initially assigned numbers 20 and 21 after Force India were assigned Honda's old numbers of 18 and 19. This however was changed at the request of Force India because their promotional material had already been printed with numbers 20 and 21. Brawn had no objection and were reassigned numbers 22 and 23, with 18 and 19 not assigned to anyone.[9]
2009 race season[edit]
The team started off strongly on the Friday Practice of the Australian Grand Prix finishing in the top five. In qualifying at Australia Jenson Button took pole, with teammate Rubens Barrichello coming 2nd, followed by Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.[10] This was followed by a race win for Jenson Button, who led from start to finish, with Rubens Barrichello second[11] giving Brawn a 1-2 finish on their debut, which had not happened since Mercedes in the 1954 French Grand Prix.[12]
Jenson Button won the rain-shortened Malaysian Grand Prix from pole and picked up the fastest lap.[13] With the win in Malaysia, Brawn GP became the only new constructor to win their first two races since Alfa Romeo won the first ever two World Championship Grands Prix at the 1950 British Grand Prix and Monaco Grand Prix.[14]
At the 2009 Chinese Grand Prix Barrichello qualified in front of Button for the first time this season but in the rain Jenson Button finished 3rd with Rubens Barrichello 4th behind the Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.[15]
Button won again at the Bahrain Grand Prix from fourth on the grid with Barrichello in fifth from sixth. Button ran most of the race in clean air and maintained the lead after the Toyotas pitted and fell down the order. This was the first time they were slower, with the fuel corrected qualifying times, in the season and was blamed on the lack of development on the car.[16]
At the 2009 Spanish Grand Prix, Brawn achieved their second 1-2 of the season with Button leading home Barrichello again. Brawn's fourth win saw them overtake Honda on the all-time wins list.[17]
At the Monaco Grand Prix the same qualifying results as in Spain were achieved with Button on pole. Button led Barrichello, who'd overtaken Kimi Räikkönen off the line, into the first corner with Button leading Barrichello, Räikkönen and Felipe Massa for the majority of the race. Button took Brawn's third 1-2 and his first hat trick of wins.[18]
At the 2009 Turkish Grand Prix the Brawns were beaten to pole by Vettel after struggling with pace throughout Friday and Saturday, for Button especially. At the start, Barrichello's anti-stall cut in and he fell to the back of the grid; Button meanwhile, after pointing the car at Vettel got off cleanly and inherited the lead at turn 10 when Vettel ran wide. Button led the race calmly for the rest of the race with his team mate having many incidents before giving Brawn their first retirement after losing seventh gear.[19]
At the British Grand Prix both drivers struggled for the team's home race. The car couldn't heat up the tyres enough and both drivers struggled with balance issues. Button had his worst qualifying of the season in sixth with Barrichello achieving second. In the race neither of the drivers shone and both had rather quiet races to third and sixth with Button having a late surge.[20]
At the German Grand Prix the team suffered the same fate as in Britain as both drivers suffered with tyre temperatures.[21] The team qualified light as to get onto the front row and qualified behind Webber in second and third, respectively.[22] Despite leading in the first stint, Barrichello finished sixth after a faulty fuel rig ruined his race. Button ran in the low points after getting stuck behind Kovalainen and managed to overtake Barrichello to finish fifth after the team inverted their pit-stop laps to lessen his disadvantage to contenders Webber and Vettel who finished first and second respectively.[23]
At the Hungarian Grand Prix Brawn suffered the same uncompetitiveness after experiencing their worst qualifying of the season with Button in eighth and Barrichello in thirteenth. The reason for Barrichello's underperformance was caused by his rear suspension failing resulting in a spring falling off and subsequently striking Ferrari's Felipe Massa on the helmet resulting in serious head injuries. Button too was affected by this as his car spent most of Q3 being checked to make sure the same components would not fail and ended up qualifying with much more fuel than planned. In the race neither driver showed much pace although when the temperatures hit 40oC Button was the fastest man on the track at that point. Button managed to repass Trulli through the final pit stops and pick up seventh with his teammate in tenth closely behind Nakajima and Trulli.[24]
At the European Grand Prix, Barrichello won for the first time in five years, one of the longest gaps between Grand Prix victories in Formula One history. Barrichello started third on the grid, behind the rejuvenated McLaren Mercedes cars of Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen. While Barrichello thrived, Button started 5th on the grid, and finished the race in 7th after the retirement of Sebastian Vettel from 4th.
At the Belgian Grand Prix Button again had a dismal showing and was taken out by Romain Grosjean on the first lap. Barrichello started 4th, but again had a clutch issue at the start, but managed to work his way up to 7th, his car's engine bursting into flames as he entered the pits.
At the Italian Grand Prix, the Brawns were fuelled heavy, and started 5th (Barrichello) and 6th (Button). Both Brawns managed to make it past the heavily fuelled Kovalainen in the opening laps, and both kept up their pace to complete their final one-two of the season, Barrichello in first, Button in second.
At the Singapore Grand Prix, both drivers suffered problems in qualifying, Button failing to make it into the third session.
At the Japanese Grand Prix Brawn had the opportunity to clinch the 2009 Constructors Championship, however the drivers started 6th and 10th. Both drivers had reasonably successful races, eventually finishing 7th and 8th. This left Brawn just half a point from winning Constructors Championship. After the race, the race stewards announced they were investigating Nico Rosberg for excessive speed under safety car conditions. A typical 25-second penalty would have moved both Brawn drivers one place up and the Constructors Championship would have been won, however it was announced later that Rosberg was in the clear and the race result would stand.
At the Brazilian Grand Prix Button clinched the Drivers Championship by finishing in 5th place, and with Barrichello finishing in 8th place Brawn also won the Constructors Championship. In Abu Dhabi, the final race of the season, they finished 3-4 with Button world champion and Barrichello 3rd in the championship.[25] The team also won the 2010 Laureus World Sports Award for Team of the Year as a result of its success.[26]
The team had a race win success rate of 47.05% (8 wins in 17 races), and by winning both titles in its only year of competition, the team is the first ever to achieve a 100% championship success rate.
Sale to Mercedes-Benz[edit]
On 16 November 2009 it was officially announced that Daimler AG in partnership with Aabar Investments had purchased a 75.1% stake in Brawn GP (Daimler AG: 45.1%; Aabar: 30%).[1] Reports suggest the partnership paid £110m for the 75.1%.[27] The team would be rebranded as Mercedes GP for 2010. The remaining 24.9% stake is Ross Brawn's in partnership with Nick Fry. The team used the Brawn GP base in Brackley for its operations and Brawn stayed on as team principal.[1]
BGP 001[edit]
The BGP001 was originally designed with the intention of becoming the Honda RA109. In fact, owing to the poor performance of the Honda team in 2008, the team made a relatively early start in designing the 2009 car. However, following Honda's withdrawal, development of the car continued, in the hope that the team would be somehow rescued.
Eventually, the car was appropriated by the newly formed Brawn GP team, and modified to accommodate a Mercedes-Benz engine in place of the expected Honda engine. Jenson Button performed its shakedown – the car featuring white, fluorescent chartreuse yellow and black colours.[28] The team gave the BGP 001 its first test at Circuit de Catalunya on 9 March 2009, topping the timesheets many times.[29] With the testing moving to Circuito de Jerez, Brawn GP continued to set the pace, finishing the test leading two of the three tests.[30] During an interview Brawn said there was more speed to come after he explained that '...The BGP 001 car is the result of 15 months of intensive development work and the team have been nothing less than fantastic in their commitment to producing two cars in time for the first race'.[31] At the first race an official complaint was launched by four teams against the rear diffusers of the Williams FW31, Toyota TF109 and the Brawn BGP 001 on the grounds that they did not fall within the dimensions set out in the regulations,[32] but after analysing the cars the race stewards reported that the cars were legal. This ruling was appealed and the appeal was heard after the second race of the season.[33] However motorsport's governing body ruled that the car was legal.[34] There was another complaint at Malaysia after which BMW Sauber joined the appeal after they were deemed legal, again.[35] After the appeal the diffuser was deemed legal by the FIA.[36] In Spain, the car received its first upgrades since Australia which were mainly to do with the different cooling requirements of the Mercedes engine[37] and gave Brawn a 1-2, just as in Melbourne.
Jenson Button used a single Brawn BGP001 during the 2009 season, making the chassis designated "BGP 001-02" one of the most successful F1 chassis of all time (Rubens Barrichello drove the chassis "BGP 001-01" until it was damaged in a qualifying accident at the Singapore Grand Prix, after which he used "BGP 001-03" for the rest of the season). Jenson Button retains ownership of chassis BGP 001-02 as a condition of his contract with Brawn GP in the eventuality that he won the championship.[citation needed]
The sponsors that were still with the Honda team at the end of the 2008 season, including Bridgestone, stayed on as sponsors for the start of the 2009 season.
On 26 March 2009, Brawn GP announced a partnership with British clothing manufacturer Henri Lloyd. Henri Lloyd, which became the "Official Supplier of Clothing and Footwear Technology" to Brawn GP under the deal, agreed to supply the team with clothing and footwear, with its brand appearing on the BGP 001.[38][39] On 28 March 2009 Sir Richard Branson announced Virgin as a major sponsor for the team.[40] On April 17 Brawn announced an agreement with MIG Investments, which would sport its logo on the front of the car.[41] It was also confirmed on April 19 that Ray-Ban, a sunglasses manufacturer, would carry on sponsoring the team - its logo appears on the drivers' helmets.[42] At the 2009 Bahrain Grand Prix Virgin sported its Virgin Galactic logo instead of Virgin.[43] The team re-signed Endless Advance[44] and NCE Corporation[45] and signed a new supplier deal with safety harness supplier Willans before the Spanish Grand Prix.[46] Only for the Spanish Grand Prix, Sony Pictures joined the team with the cars featuring promotional imagery from the upcoming film Terminator Salvation.[47] At the 2009 Monaco Grand Prix, Google co-founder Larry Page was rumoured to be in talks with Brawn to sponsor the team in 2010. Although a guest of McLaren-Mercedes, Page is believed to want the Google name to appear on a race-winning team.[48] The team took up sponsorship from Graham-London before the British Grand Prix, with its logo being shown on the BGP 001s' wing mirrors. In addition, Monster Energy added its logo to Button's helmet from Silverstone onwards.[49] However, Richard Branson indicated that Virgin was unlikely to continue its deal next season, citing cost as a hurdle.[50] For the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, the BGP001 sported the Italian zipper company Raccagni logo and name on the side wings in front of the side-pods.
For the 2009 Singapore Grand Prix, Brawn GP secured a sponsorship deal with Canon.[51]
For the 2009 Japanese Grand Prix, Brawn GP secured a single race sponsorship deal with Angfa Co. Ltd, maker of the medical shampoo Scalp-D, which has proved very popular in Japan since its launch in 2005.[52]
For the 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix, the event in which it won the Constructors' Championship, Brawn GP had deals with Banco do Brasil and Petrópolis brewery to display its colours and beer brand Itaipava and TNT energy drink on both cars.[53] It also had a one-race partnership with Spanish insurance company Mapfre.[54]
For the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the team had a deal with Qatar Telecom.[citation needed]

Mom makes son, 13, sign 18 terms and conditions before giving him an iPhone
'I hope that you understand it is my job to raise you into a well rounded, healthy young man that can function in the world and coexist with technology, not be ruled by it,' she wrote at the start of the list.
I love this, and this mom. Here's her full list:
- It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning it to you. Aren't I the greatest?
- I will always know the password.
- If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello, use your manners. Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads "Mom" or "Dad". Not ever.
- Hand the phone to one of your parents promptly at 7:30pm every school night & every weekend night at 9:00pm. It will be shut off for the night and turned on again at 7:30am. If you would not make a call to someone's land line, wherein their parents may answer first, then do not call or text. Listen to those instincts and respect other families like we would like to be respected.
- It does not go to school with you. Have a conversation with the people you text in person. It's a life skill. *Half days, field trips and after school activities will require special consideration.
- If it falls into the toilet, smashes on the ground, or vanishes into thin air, you are responsible for the replacement costs or repairs. Mow a lawn, babysit, stash some birthday money. It will happen, you should be prepared.
- Do not use this technology to lie, fool, or deceive another human being. Do not involve yourself in conversations that are hurtful to others. Be a good friend first or stay the hell out of the crossfire.

It is risky and could ruin your teenage/college/adult life. It is always a bad idea. Cyberspace is vast and more powerful than you.

Not all all-wheel-drive systems are created equally
We see all-wheel-drive (AWD) badges on cars, crossovers, and SUVs all of the time. However, for those who really care about how their cars work, that badge can often stir up more questions than answers. Are all four wheels always being driven? Does AWD improve handling or does it improve safety? Are some systems better than others?
The answers to those questions vary by automaker and even by model. For example, there are automakers who use on-demand AWD systems across their lineup (Mazda comes to mind) and others, like Subaru, use full-time AWD for their vehicles. Other manufacturers, like Nissan, … Read more

when do you want to visit nyc?
1 of 10
Sipping hot chocolate in Central Park, ice-skating at Rockefeller Center and browsing fashion and food finds at multiple holiday markets are all festive, must-do December activities in New York City. But the holidays wouldn't be complete without a visit to the elaborate seasonal window displays at NYC department stores and luxury-goods flagships. Each year, the stores seem determined to outdo their own previous efforts, and 2012 is no different, from Bergdorf Goodman's jazz-age tribute to an elaborate circus show at Bloomingdale's to the innovative "hands-on" experience at Cartier. Here's a roundup of the splendor on display this season.

Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:
JONESBORO, AR (KAIT/AP) - Arkansas residents will get the opportunity to vote on the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act in November.
The Arkansas Supreme Court rejected a recent challenge by a coalition of conservative organizations that asked the court to keep the proposed measure off the November ballot.
Arkansas is the first Southern state to consider legalizing medical marijuana.
The measure would allow patients with qualifying conditions to buy marijuana from nonprofit dispensaries with a doctor's recommendation.
The proposal acknowledges that marijuana is still illegal under federal law, but its opponents argued that it does not adequately explain that users could face federal prosecution.
"I think it's probably going to be legalized," said Jonesboro resident Loren Long. "I think that if the state's going to give it a chance to be legalized as a medical marijuana, I think it's going to help a lot for people that are in pain."
Regardless of how Arkansans choose to vote on the matter, the fact that they are voting about it at all is a surprise to many people.
Attorney Anthony Bartels is one of those who is surprised the Arkansas Supreme Court upheld the measure, but he does not believe voters will approve it. "It won't be a close one. It'll be a bad defeat for the drug," he said. "I don't think we should have marijuana for anything, period. I've seen too many people's lives and marriages and family lives destroyed."
The Act protects "qualifying patients", such as those who have cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, Tourettes Syndrome, PTSD, Multiple Sclerosis, and several other conditions.
It also provides discrimination protection to patients, designated caregivers and physicians.
According to the act, schools, landlords and employers cannot refuse enrollment, lease options or hired positions solely based on a person's status as a patient or designated caregiver.
In addition, physicians cannot be subject to arrest, prosecution or penalty for certifying a person to receive medical marijuana.
Arkansas State University Political Science Professor Dr. Richard Wang said Arkansans can count on the rest of country to pay close attention to the vote in November.
"There's a lot of national attention to it and that national attention will increase as the election appears six weeks out," he said.

Graduation of Second Cohort of Sager Science Leaders!
We are pleased to announce the graduation of our second cohort of Sager Science Leaders! These dedicated monks and nuns representing over a dozen monasteries and nunneries in India and Nepal will help develop and implement science educational programs and dialogue at their respective monastic institutions. The second cohort began training in 2010 and has completed over 500 hours of professional development training distributed over four intensive 3-week workshops. These leaders have spearheaded a variety of activities that drive science education forward – sharing the science they have learned by teaching classes large and small, organizing science exhibitions, publishing articles on science and Buddhism, and most recently launching science centers within the monasteries and nunneries. Congratulations!

Dehradun, Nov 15-17, 2013
The three-day meeting, titled 'Cosmology and Consciousness II – Knowing and Action' will be held at the Songtsen Library, Dehradun, from 15 to 17 November, 9am to 5pm. Themes under discussion will be How Do We Know, How Do We Extend Our Knowing, and How Do We Know How to Act? Participants from diverse backgrounds and experiences will discuss how best to advance investigations at the intersection of science and spirituality. The conference is an exploration of how science, technology and wisdom come together to address the challenges of the future.
Announcing: Tibetan Buddhist Leaders Science Network
July 2013
We are pleased to announce "Tibetan Buddhist Leaders Science Network" a 3-year project made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation. The project will involve 75 monastic graduates - geshes and equivalent degree holders (25 per year). Each year, the program will consist of a 4-week intensive introductory science course and conclude with a 3-day public program that positions the monastic participants into dialogue and critical conversations with Indian and Western scientist. The monastic graduates will also team-up with more junior monastic science leaders that are leading science education initiatives, and help shape the future of science learning at their respective monasteries and nunneries. The first program is scheduled in October, 2013. The program is a continuation of our 1-year pilot project, "Engaging Tibetan Buddhist Leaders in Science," that took place in 2011.

The World of Your Senses, an exclusive exhibition featuring Tibetan Buddhist monastics and their scientific illustrations makes its first U.S. premiere at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, from May 1 to 10, 2012. Admission to this exclusive event is included in the ticket price.
The exhibition was created by Tibetan Buddhist monks who studied western science while living in exile in India. It explores sensory perception (sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch) from both a Buddhist and western science perspective. Nine monks and nuns, who received teacher training in India from Exploratorium staff, will accompany the exhibition and serve as its interpreters. This delegation is part of a group charged by the Dalai Lama with teaching science to the next generation of monastics and their communities. The nuns are among the first ever to be trained to become science education leaders for their communities.
Daily, from 10 am to 1 pm, (Tuesday May 1, through Sunday, May 6 – and Tuesday, May 8 through Thursday, May 10), museum visitors will be able to interact with and observe the visiting monastics as they discuss their work and create new paintings. Master painter Jampa Choedak will have a work space in the Exploratorium's Wattis Web Cast Studio, where he'll be painting a landscape of the San Francisco Bay and its marine life. The completed work will be displayed at the Exploratorium's new location at Pier 15 in 2013. The exhibition is supported through a collaboration between the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives (LTWA), the Exploratorium, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Sager Family Foundation through the Science for Monks Program.

A famed museum is the newest battlefront in the ever-growing creation/evolution controversy over what to truly believe about life's origins. And while its brand-new $17 million Evolving Planet exhibit does not explicitly mention (at least, that we could find) either creation or intelligent design, it was obvious, nevertheless, that the exhibition is designed to convince visitors (including young people, especially through the liberal use of one icon that most children find fascinating: dinosaurs) that there should be no doubt about the validity of evolution. The creation/ID vs. evolution controversy was the elephant in the room that went unmentioned.
In fact, the glaring absence of any mention of the intensifying origins debate prompted a secular reporter to observe that a primary purpose of this new exhibition was "to state the case for science and evolution in the national debate over evolutionary theory versus creationism and intelligent design."1
The Polls and Science Museums
On Friday, the Field Museum in downtown Chicago—an institution well known for world-class displays, such as the famous T. rex skeleton called "Sue"—opened an impressive, yet, as a whole, visually disappointing, permanent exhibit called Evolving Planet. While some of the high-definition screens and interactive displays (along with its renowned dinosaur skeletons) were of high quality, most of the displays were cluttered with too much text and were largely static.
Now, that is not to say that Evolving Planet won't have an impact, for the sheer number of displays will impress visitors with what appears to be a cornucopia of evidence for evolution. Impressionable young people, many of whom may not take the time to read much of the text printed on the walls and glass displays, will nevertheless leave the exhibit with the idea that the museum has presented a veritable encyclopedia of convincing proofs of molecules-to-man evolution.
Evolving Planet traces the evolutionary story of the history of life on earth from 4.5 billion years ago to the present. AiG's Creation Museum, to open next spring, is similarly a "walk through history"—but according to the Bible's history from Genesis to Revelation.
The exhibit's pathway in the Field Museum begins in a room that offers two guesses as to how life started: either as bacteria in the deep ocean or in deep space (i.e., transported to Earth by meteorites). Read Dr. David DeWitt's article on origin-of-life theories (which includes links to other similarly themed articles), The Origin of Life: A Problem for Evolution.
This is one of the few parts of the exhibition that was not presented with dogmatism. (Although transferring the problem of how life could have formed to outer space is a convenient way to try to overcome an insurmountable challenge for evolutionists.) It appears that there is little doubt in the exhibit designers' minds, however, that evolution somehow managed to circumvent the biogenetic law (i.e., life does not come from non-life) and then proceeded unguided for billions of years to eventually produce higher forms of life (and ultimately humans).
Frustratingly, so much of the exhibition presents statement after statement in which evolution is simply assumed to be true … yet with little attempt at substantiation. Where the museum appears to present evidence for evolution, it is really what is written by the museum staff that "explains" and interprets what's in the display case—not the evidence itself—that says anything. That is the way evolution is presented throughout Evolving Planet time and time again, without hinting at any alternative explanations for the evidence.2
The discriminating visitor should keep that in mind when touring any science museum that presents evolution as fact: what is inside the displays usually "says" very little; but what has been interpreted for the visitor by the secular scientists and written on the attached signs is the so-called evidence. (See our article on how such evidence needs to be interpreted and does not speak for itself, Searching for the "Magic Bullet".)
An animated video called "Evolution Essentials" purports to explain how natural selection works as a mechanism for evolution. The exhibit's senior project manager, Todd Tubutis, told the Chicago Tribune that understanding natural selection "is very important in the current public debate about evolution versus creationism."3 In fact, we agree. If people understood that natural selection is a creationist tenet (the concept originated with a creationist, Edward Blythe, by the way) and that it is a mechanism incapable of adding any new genetic material to produce new features in a creature, then evolution would see its poll numbers drop even more (see sidebar). For a rebuttal of natural selection as a possible mechanism for molecules-to-man evolution, see Get Answers: Natural Selection.
The middle portion of the exhibition features a large display of dinosaur fossils that has been showcased in the museum for years, plus some relatively new ones. (The first third and last third of Evolving Planet seem to be new exhibit sections that are sandwiched around the Field's long-standing dinosaur collection.) As the Tribune reporter wrote, visitors here are assured—with several skeletons on display—that dinosaurs indeed "were real" (an apparent reference to some ill-informed Christians who, sadly, have denied the existence of dinosaurs because they think this somehow challenges their faith). Our article Dinosaurs and the Bible argues that dinosaurs are better explained within biblical history, not within the evolution story.
Toward the end of the exhibition, there is a display of hominids (i.e., man's alleged ape-like ancestors), including a very life-like reproduction of the Australopithecine "Lucy." The pro-evolution, well-trafficked website PhysOrg.com, in describing this Field display, declared that Lucy's "discovery in 1974 proved that humans walked upright before their brains developed."4 It proved no such thing, and it does not require a creationist to say that, for even many evolutionists question whether "Lucy" is in the family tree of humans.
The saddest aspect about Saturday's visit was seeing so many children walking through the exhibit with their parents and grandparents. We would estimate that about two-thirds were under 13. As Carl Kerby, AiG's Vice President for Ministry Relations, remarked as he finished the tour: "These parents just don't know what they're doing. I overheard one mother answering her daughter's question about why one ape-like creature was so hairy, and she answered: 'Because she was evolving from the apes,' and evolution hadn't removed all of the hair yet. I'm reminded of the many verses that tell parents—actually, most instances in the Bible say 'fathers'—to train their children. 'Train your children in the ways of the Lord.'
" Carl added that this is why AiG's future museum near Cincinnati will be so important in equipping families with biblical truths.
We know, by the way, that the president of the Field Museum is aware of the Creation Museum being built just a five-hour drive away from his temple of evolution. See his comment in the sidebar about how science museums are now more motivated to defend evolution vigorously.
This massive exhibition at the Field Museum joins the ranks of other science museums in an increasingly intensive effort to indoctrinate hundreds of thousands of visitors each year in a belief in molecules-to-man evolution. New York City's American Museum of Natural History has a similarly large exhibition (called Darwin) that runs through May, and then goes on the road to other cities (including Chicago) to reach even more Americans with the evolution message (see A Review of the New Darwin Exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History).
The cost to design and build AiG's new planetarium, several high-tech displays and a large special effects theater will not come near the $17 million spent on Evolving Planet,5 with exhibits that will take up even more space than the 27,000 square feet at Evolving Planet. (And it won't cost $27 to visit, which is what museum parking and admission are at the Field Museum.)6
What's more important, though, than comparing the Creation Museum to a new exhibit at the Field Museum is that visitors to the Creation Museum will be challenged with the life-changing message that God's Word is true—most importantly, that its gospel message is true. Museums like the Field have a life-undermining message: that people are just the result of random processes over billions of years. Where is a sense of purpose and meaning in a story like that? Thankfully, there will be a museum opening near Cincinnati, Ohio, next spring that will have a positive story to share: the Bible is the true history of the Creator's designed universe, and He has not created human beings without meaning or purpose.
(Note: A more detailed critique of Evolving Planet will eventually be posted to this website, so please check back. Because this new exhibition at the Field Museum is so full of evolutionary displays and text, it would take a book-length reply to refute all of it. In a future article, we will highlight the main areas of evolutionary propaganda found in the museum that need refuting, for they are presented so convincingly to the unwary visitor—and because they are also themes often found in other museums.)
Help keep these daily articles coming. Support AiG.
- "New exhibit evolves at Field Museum," Chicago Tribune, March 6, 2006. Also, the popular website PhysOrg.com declares that "Chicago's renowned Field Museum is the latest institution to combat creation and intelligent design with a new permanent exhibit detailing the process of evolution" (see Evolution exhibit in Chicago challenges creationists). Back
- For example, the museum presents comparative anatomy as evidence for evolution (i.e., that shared characteristics mean a common ancestry). However, similar characteristics can lead to a different, non-evolutionary interpretation: such creatures have a common Designer. Again, it's all in how the evidence is interpreted. See What about similarities and other such arguments for evolution? Back

- Evolution exhibit in Chicago challenges creationists, PhysOrg.com. Back
- The AiG Creation Museum will spend about $14 million in exhibits, and we believe that future visitors will see the same quality—probably even better than what they will see at Evolving Planet, especially with the heavy use of visuals like 60 video kiosks. What's more important, of course, is that they will be exposed to eternal truths found in God's Word, starting from the very first verse. Back
- At this point, we don't know what the admission charge will be for the Creation Museum, but we can say that parking definitely will be $15 less than the $15 we paid to park in the Field Museum's parking lot! Back

From the first lab, in which they go outdoors to examine local
plants, to the last, in which they perform an experiment to demon-
strate gene transference in bacteria, students approach science as
something to be experienced and talked about. They recreate classic
experiments—Millikan's oil-drop or Faraday's cage, for example—
attempting to see through the eyes of the scientists themselves as
they ask how nature works. They become open to new understanding
at the same time that they question conclusions. Even faculty
members examine their assumptions as they see the world anew:
a tutor with a Ph.D. in physics studying atomic science for the first
time with St. John's students might realize she had never before
asked the question "Do atoms exist?"—and its companion, "If so,
how can I prove it?"
Ultimately, by encountering the world as they do in labora-
tory, St. John's students not only come to understand the scientific
enterprise, but also learn how to begin from a position of ignorance
and advance to one of knowledge.

March/April 2014
We are almost at the halfway point of our yearlong 150th-birthday celebration and still going strong. January and February were chock full of events celebrating our state's history, people, and culture.
January/February 2014
The sesquicentennial is well underway, and what fun we're having! As I wrote in the November/December 2013 issue, we had a tremendously successful kick-off. Our November and December events were as diverse as our state. Hopefully you, your family, and friends had the chance to participate in at least one of them.
November/December 2013
Nevada's yearlong birthday party is officially underway—and what a kickoff it was! The festivities started on October 24 with the Governor's Banquet in Reno. Hundreds of people joined Governor Brian Sandoval and me to celebrate our state's great history and heritage.
September/October 2013
The best part of Nevada's upcoming sesquicentennial celebration is the fact that all Nevadans will have the opportunity to participate. It will be a year filled with delightful events and colorful tributes to the rich history of our state.
July/August 2013
Summer is upon us, and once again it's time to pack up the station wagon (am I showing my age?) or SUV and head out with the family to visit new cities, relax at a lake, or immerse ourselves in culture by visiting museums or touring historic sites—some of the best being Nevada's ghost towns.
May/June 2013
Starting with this year's Nevada Day (observed October 25), Nevadans will be celebrating a major milestone as we begin the yearlong celebration of our sesquicentennial, our 150th anniversary of statehood. If you haven't heard the "s-word" before, by year's end the multisyllabic word will roll right off your tongue.
March/April 2013
Spring has arrived in Nevada—bringing with it all of the wonderful outdoor activities that Nevadans and visitors alike associate with life in the Silver State.
January/February 2013
Are you wondering what to do for a winter getaway? If you love cowboys, poetry, or anything that captures the spirit of the great American West, I suggest you mark your calendars and make plans to visit Elko from January 28 to February 2.
November/December 2012
Although winter means different things to different people depending on where you live in a state as diverse as ours, one thing it means to all is that the holidays are just around the corner.
September/October 2012
Like the Nevada Quarter Contest, I saw many familiar and well-loved subjects in this year's photo contest—Nevada's wild mustangs, desert bighorn sheep, Hoover Dam, and the Silver State's rich mining heritage, to name a few.
July/August 2012
Summer in Nevada is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. There are many exciting places across the state to visit, and the Lake Tahoe area has long been one of my favorites.
May/June 2012
On March 1, I had the pleasure of standing with Governor Brian Sandoval as we kicked off the Discover Your Nevada campaign, challenging Nevadans to explore their own state and discover their favorite destinations. Through my travels around the state, I have compiled a list of my own.
March/April 2012
I enjoy the incredible opportunity to serve as chairman of the Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition, a group comprised of leaders from Nevada and California passionately dedicated to bringing the next Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games held in North America to our region. The RTWGC is currently engaged in the process to host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games.

Frustrated with the Bangladesh Cricket Team
Bangladesh.... oh. as a fan of tiger cricket, i am frustrated now to see their ways of playing. i am disappointed, i am shocked and i am broken hearted. when will the tigers act like TIGERS? why do they get nervous? i dont get it. professionalism is not all about coping with the loss of a match, professionalism is also about winning matches or at least playing a really really competitive match.
Tigers, when will you start acting responsibly? when? and what do you want me to do when you play like a bunch of idiots? it hurts me alot, because i am you fan. yes, still i am a fan of tiger cricket. better luck next time (i'm tired of writing this)

text: Midway Games today announced a European publishing agreement for Myst on Nintendo DS. Here is more info on the game: "Myst made the successful transition to a handheld format last year, releasing on Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) and demonstrating the timeless, engaging experience that's unique to the series. The DS development of the original game will embrace many of the hardware features only available on this format. Control elements like the touch screen will allow players to interact on a level that?s never been possible before. There are no instructions and the player begins a voyage of exploration without encountering a single living soul. Alone on a mysterious island, you set out to explore its grandeur and mystery. Here a chilling tale of intrigue and injustice, defying all boundaries of space and time, is being told. Quickly, though, it becomes clear every action can somehow help unfortunate individuals trapped somewhere in a parallel dimension. The Myst adventure is like no other, tantalizing with its unique combination of lavish environments, puzzles, mazes, and a sizzling underlying drama which steadily unfolds to reward the player further still. More details about the game and release information will be made available shortly." ----------------------------------------------------- Read our Nintendo DS review: http://www.mobiletechreview.com/nintendo_DS.htm Read our latest Nintendo DS game reviews: Advance Wars: Dual Strike Age of Empires: Age of Kings Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Final Fantsy III GoldenEye: Rogue Agent Kirby: Canvas Curse Mario Kart DS Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Nanostray New Super Mario Bros Nintendogs Ossu!

For Korea DPR, South Africa 2010 has been 44 years coming. Nigeria and Cameroon, meanwhile, are returning after an eight-year break, while Slovakia are preparing to participate in their first-ever FIFA World Cup™ as an independent nation. In total, 12 nations who missed out on Germany 2006 have qualified for next year's finals. So what was it that ensured they succeeded this time where they failed four years ago? FIFA.com takes a closer look.
It was fitting that Korea DPR, who endured the longest wait, should be the first of this returning dozen to take their place. The North Korean success story was, in fact, one of the preliminary campaign's great fairy tales, with Kim Jong-Hun's side edging out three of the continent's traditional heavyweights - Saudi Arabia, Iran and United Arab Emirates – en route to South Africa 2010. Kim certainly had much to do with the transformation of a side that had lost all but one of their final stage 2006 qualifiers. The 53-year-old, himself a former defender, took charge early in 2008 and, despite a lack of star names, moulded his team into a solid unit whose defence was breached just five times in eight qualifiers.
Asian influences were also key to New Zealand's first successful preliminary campaign in 28 years. Australia's departure to the AFC allowed the All Whites to claim a regional stranglehold in Oceania, while Bahrain were their victims in a memorable play-off triumph that witnessed a new generation of Kiwi stars secure a place in folklore.
Striking success
Just as blossoming of players such as Shane Smeltz and Ryan Nelsen proved vital to New Zealand, so Greece profited from the emergence of Theofanidis Gekas as a force to be reckoned with in the international arena. Otto Rehhagel's side have stayed true to the principles that brought them European glory in 2004 but, unlike in 2006, when they lacked a natural goalscorer, the Greeks were this time able to call on the European Zone's most prolific marksman in the predatory Gekas.
Chile also had a star striker to thank as they returned to the FIFA World Cup for the first time since France 1998. A haul of ten goals established Humberto Suazo as the top scorer in the South American Zone and played a large part in ensuring that Marcelo Bielsa's Roja side finished just a point behind Brazil in the continental standings.
Continuing this theme, nine goals in 11 qualifiers from Samuel Eto'o proved crucial to Cameroon reaching an African record sixth FIFA World Cup. Yet the turning point for the Indomitable Lions came in July when, with the team bottom of their qualifying section, Paul Le Guen took over as coach and brought about a radical transformation, which included installing Eto'o as captain. Like Cameroon, Nigeria qualified on a dramatic final day in the African Zone. Still stinging from their failure to qualify for Germany 2006, the Super Eagles looked destined for yet more heartbreak when Obafemi Martins, one of the high-profile forwards who had disappointed last time around, struck twice to secure a dramatic and decisive comeback win in Kenya.
Of the teams ending their FIFA World Cup exile, perhaps only Honduras endured a more nerve-shredding finale. Reinaldo Rueda's adventurous side had impressed during the preliminaries, with the likes of David Suazo, Wilson Palacios and Carlos Pavon all shining, but would have faced a play-off had Costa Rica not conceded in the dying seconds of their final fixture.
That fateful goal left Los Ticos to contest a two-legged duel with Uruguay from which the South Americans emerged triumphant. Consistency continues to prove problematic, but with Diego Forlan at the peak of his powers and ably supported by Luis Suarez, La Celeste's new and improved forward line will persist in striking fear into opposition defences.
Celebrations and sensations
Algeria might not possess such a wealth of attacking options, but under Rabeh Saadane - who was in charge when they reached their last FIFA World Cup in 1986 - Les Fennecs have proved that they are nevertheless well worth watching. Having finished below the likes of Angola, Zimbabwe and Gabon in the race to Germany 2006, Algeria brought back Saadane in 2007 and reaped the benefits throughout a memorable campaign that culminated in that unforgettable play-off win over Egypt.
While the likes of Algeria and Uruguay required play-offs to advance, others in this group of returning heroes secured their places in some style. Denmark, in fact, fought arguably the most impressive preliminary campaign of all, comfortably topping a formidable section that included Portugal, Sweden and Hungary. Though lacking the individual talent their rivals possessed in the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibraminovic, the Danes prevailed largely thanks to the stability and tactical nous provided by Morten Olsen, now in his tenth year at the helm.
If Denmark's successes against the Swedes and the Portuguese were a surprise, Slovenia's ousting of Russia was little short of a sensation. Few had given this nation of two million people a hope against Andrei Arshavin and Co, but a miserly defence that was breached just four times in ten qualifiers provided the basis for a spectacular success story.
Then, last but far from least, we must pay tribute to this FIFA World Cup's sole debutants. Slovakia can, of course, claim some credit for the eight appearances made by the former Czechoslovakia, but South Africa 2010 will be their first since securing independence in 1993. They had to earn their place too, finishing top of a section that included Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia, and Vladimir Weiss's side will hope that the steel and spirit that secured this maiden appearance will ensure that it proves one to remember.

Provides streamlined, personalized hand braces for each patient.
by DE Editors | Published November 7, 2012
3D Systems announced that it has developed a line of custom 3D-printed hand brace devices for musculoskeletal medicine. 3D Systems plans to launch the devices during the second half of 2013. The company deployed its recently acquired Bespoke Innovations integrated scan-to-print proprietary technology to replace traditional labor-intensive hand brace devices with custom-fitted, 3D printed braces that are streamlined, adaptive and personalized to the lifestyle and condition of the patient, the company says. Musculoskeletal medicine accounts for approximately 30% of all acute orthopedic care including sports, industrial or job related injury and chronic conditions. "We are thrilled to apply 3D Systems' integrated technology to transform musculoskeletal healthcare delivery for the benefit of patients," said Abe Reichental, president and CEO of 3D Systems. "Our commitment is to improve lives with custom exoskeleton and orthopedic devices that are personalized, streamlined, hygienic and adaptive to enhance the patient experience and return them to a productive lifestyle sooner." For more information, visit 3D Systems. Sources: Press materials received from the company and additional information gleaned from the company's website.

Moderator: Roleplay Stage Moderators
[size=85]USERNAME;; DarkPanther
NAME;; Victoire Knotch
SIN/[b]VIRTUE[/b];; Charity
GENDER;; Female
[spoiler]Victoire has long black-brown hair with light blue highlights in it. The highlights aren't everywhere, only in the very front and back of her hair going in a straight line. Her skin is pale white, seeming almost a sickly color especially for the place the Center is located in now. Eyes are a pale green, seeming dull and boring at first glance. But in the light they seem to almost glow, the color green becoming warm. Her nose is small, upturned slightly. Lips are a pale pink, rosy in comparison to her skin.
Victoire's not that tall. But not that short either. She stands at around 5'3. Her hair ends just as the base of her back imbetween her shoulder blades. A small pale white scar is located on her cheek, diagonally running towards her mouth. Ears are always hidden by her hair, but they're normal size. Her right ear is pierced at the top, a single black stud always located in it. The color never changes no matter what the day.
She typically wears darker clothes when she can get them. Her favorite attire would be black jeans and a black shirt that fit her sporty form tightly. She's skinny, but not overly anorexic. Her age is evident by the curves that her typically tight fitted clothes hug. She always wears a bit of make-up when she can come by it, eye liner surrounding her wide green eyes. But never anything more than that.[/spoiler]PERSONALITY;;
[spoiler]Victoire's a bit standoffish around most people when she first meets them. She has a hard time trusting them. She won't out right act like she hates someone. But she simply won't speak, and just observe the person for a while until she decides whether or not she likes them. She doesn't particularly hate anyone. There are just some people she doesn't particularyly enjoy associating with.
She has a case of low self-esteem. She doesn't really think of herself as that important at all. She tends to put the needs of others before herself, never snapping at anyone for doing something to her. Usually she'll accept whatever cards she's dealt so to speak. She'd protect her worst enemy if danger were to come to them, rather than jump out of the way herself. She seems to think she's worthless. But she cares greatly for everyone around her.
Victoire loves animals, probably even more than people. She can be seen talking to her pet rat Lillian almost all the time. The small rat sleeps in her pockets, or she'll carry the old female rat on her shoulder. Animals listen to people and don't judge what they here. That's why she likes them so much. They won't judge her or call her imperfect. They'll just sit there and listen with almost understanding eyes.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Victoire's originally from France. Shooters assassinated her whole family, leaving only her and her little brother alive. For some reason the shooters thought they were doing the world a favor when they began picking people off in her small town. Taking a number away from the people who were overpopulating the planet. They never cared who they hurt, or that even the people they left behind would have a harder time surviving without the help of those that were still alive.
Her little brother Jacques was torn away from her when the people from the Center decided to take her. She fought, even ending up with the scar she wears on her cheek. Her last memory of the little boy is him crying on his knees in the dirt reaching out for her. Screaming at her to take him with her. To not leave him alone. Not like their mother and father did. Not like she already was. She has no idea if he's even still alive now. She believes that he is probably not. The boy was but five when she was taken from him, he couldn't survive on his own.
She was brought to the Center and tortured a good two days for evading capture. After that she was released. But she didn't really care. She only wants her brother. She'd been at the center for two weeks, hardly talking to any one so far aside from the time she needs to. Lillian is her only companion. She found the rat when it was young on the streets. Ever since then she's protected the thing, rewarding it for staying with her. She hides Lillian whenever any of the workers are around, afraid they'll take the only thing she has left.[/spoiler]
ABILITY;; Can multiply food if she has it already. Can also change water into any liquid a human could consume.
LANGUAGES SPOKEN;; French, English
OTHER;; 20% cooler than you :)[/size]
[b]Username:[/b] Ilasandra
[b]Name:[/b] Cilona Iliad Harding
[b]Sin/Virtue: [/b] Lust
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Age:[/b] 21
[b]Appearence:[/b] [url=http://fashionloven.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Red_Hair_by_ChallengHer.jpg] Here [/url]
Cilona is in no way a bombshell. She stands at 5'8" with average curves, nothing to really seperate her from the rest. Her skin is a light cream that tends to burn rather then tan in the sun. Her lips are full and have a slight pout to them, pale pink in colour. Brilliant blue eyes framed by thin lashes sit under thin brows with a high arch. Her hair is pin straight without any curve to it and it a vibrant red that shines like fire in the light.
[b]Personality:[/b] Cilona is actually quiet shy when you first meet her, waiting on you to start the conversation. It takes her quiet a while to warm up to other people and show her true colours. Though when she does it can be quite surprising. She becomes very loud and boisterous, often taking on the role of the 'clown'. She almost always has some joke to share or a wise-crack to say and Cilona has no problem dragging herself through the mud for the sake of a joke. Her humour can be quite 'lewd, rude, and everything crude' which tends to surprise everyone.
[b]History:[/b] Cilona grew up in typical American household with her parents, younger brother and of course a golden. Her father worked a 9-5 job that provided enough so that her mother never had to work and could stay home with the children. She, naturally, was the perfect mother and was never to lenient or strict. Cilona believed that she was living the perfect life. She had a few close friends at school and made grades that would eventually earn her a scholarship. Then just like it was written, they found that their father was having an affair . . . with his secretary. After the divorce Cilona went to live with her mother on the other side of town, while her brother was left with their father. Cilona couldn't seem to find her place in her new school and her grades began to fall rapidly. Her mother, however, was too busy trying to keep them in their shabby apartment to notice. Cilona had started to fall in with the wrong crowd and often skipped school to take another hit out behind the gym. After highschool, Cilona left her mothers care and ventured out on her own. She was living on the streets when she was found. Filled with various drugs, Cilona made no resistance to being taken. She has only been at the center for a couple days, which have been spent in the infirmary. Only now has she been let out to mingle with the rest of the others.
[b]Ability:[/b] Cilona can alter the feelings of those around her so that they either want to get it on or do whatever she says. However, she almost never uses this as she hates taking away anothers freewill . . . unless she needs another fix.
[b]Laguages:[/b] English, though she picks up things pretty quickly
[b]Other:[/b] She is currently going through withdrawal.
