I just booked my hotel and flight the Labor Day weekend in Colorado. That looks like a really great one, there are TONS of speakers coming in for that.
I may go to Austin as well. I did ask Paul to see if he needed help organizing TFC in Austin but it's so late now I don't know if it's going to be able to happen either if something isn't put out there right now. Perhaps it will get back in gear for next year.
Are you planning on heading to Denver?
That said, I did reserve hotel for American Atheists' Convention, 2013; March 28-31, Austin, TX.
Anyone planning to go to Colorado for Labor Day weekend?
Hi Steph; the problem with the FT convention is that it is only a few months away without a date or a line up - makes it very difficult for folks to plan for it.
Hello all... Anyone in the North of Austin area want to get together for lunch or happy hour? Getting together somewhere centrally located to Leander, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville or NE/NW Austin. Most folks I know live in South or Central Austin and that's where most gatherings are held. I don't know about you but I'd like to drive less than 25+ miles to hang out with cool folks... I know you are out there, so let's do this! Message me or post on my wall. Also post on my FB page www.facebook.com/citizenroe. Thanks!
Hi Sam! Glad you recognized me in all my tyrannosaurus-like glory! I'll be at the SA Atheists' bookclub 1 July.
Hi Robin, I agree with Sam - C/S separation a great topic for a paper. You can check out http://www.au.org/issues/foundations-church-state-separation. Another topic may be religion in public schools.
I'm sure you can find many articles on both topics.
How about Separation of Church and State and why that is important even though most religions believe it will lead to a better society what are the pitfalls? A good example might be area that have Theocracies and how that turned out, but also focusing on what the founding fathers actually said and did for the country. I heard a great podcast from Reasonable Doubts "RD Extra: Debunking D'Souza". They had more references and quotes to the founding fathers and could provide some great material or information that you can then use to lookup for references. Personally, I try not to shut about the subject ever. You don't have to mention any religion or lack thereof you simply need to highlight the problems caused by allowing it's infusion into government.
Hello everyone, I guess you could say I have been lurking for a while. Checking the site out off and on. I am still trying to figure out how I feel about everything. Am I atheist or Agnostic or something else all together? I don't really know yet. The reason I am posting today is I am currently in a english composition class and need a topic for a short research paper. The teacher seems to like "controversial" topics so I was thinking maybe something to do with atheism or the like. Since I know little to nothing other than my own agrevation at people who claim to be "good christians" I thought maybe someone in here could help me come up with a topic. The topic has to have a "who, what, when, where, and why" so nothing vague. I also need to come up with 5 articles/books to cite so nothing too narrow I guess. Anyways sorry if this isn't the right place for this or if I have irritated anyone but Thanks to everyone who even read this. e-mail me if you like @ firstname.lastname@example.com

Leapfrog Hospital Safety Scores 'Depressing'
Big Names, Low Scores
For example, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation received a C, up from a D last November. Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, UT received a C. New York Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia, and New York Presbyterian Hospital, The Allen Pavilion in New York City both received a C, both down from A last fall.
Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in LaCrosse, WI, received a C, down from a B. And Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO received a C, the same score as last fall.
Some poorly scoring hospitals last fall improved, including the University of California Los Angeles Ronald Reagan Medical Center, which last fall received an F, but this time improved to a D.
Some hospitals that received an F score responded to HealthLeaders Media's requests for comment:
We are disappointed, but not surprised by the latest Leapfrog rating and know that it does not reflect in any way the quality of care the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center provides its patients. In fact, UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica received an "A" rating from Leapfrog. The timeframe Leapfrog used of 7/1/2009 to 6/30/2011 continues to include 1 occurrence, which dramatically affects our overall rating. We expect to see significant improvement going forward based on newer data as well as full implementation of our electronic health records system."
—David Tate, spokesman, UCLA Ronald Reagan
At Memorial Hospital, safety and quality outcomes are always a top priority. Our hospital has never participated in a Leapfrog Survey; however, our publicly reported CMS/Hospital Compare data demonstrates that care at Memorial Hospital is provided in a safe environment that is equal to, and in many areas better than, national safety scores of peer institutions."
—Pam Jensen, president, 186-bed Memorial Hospital of Fremont, OH
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Jeremiah Snodstein (5/16/2013 at 1:57 PM)
These quotes alone show Leapfrog's scores lack credibility: For example, Exeter Hospital in New Hampshire received an A in the Leapfrog score, up from a B last fall. But federal reports last year noted lax infection control practices that may have led to a technician allegedly infecting some three dozen Exeter patients with hepatitis C. Parkland Hospital in Dallas came close to losing hundreds of millions in annual Medicare payments after a series of federal investigations revealed critical quality issues in 2011 and 2012. Yet Leapfrog's scorecard gives Parkland an A, up from a B last fall.

Protea's SuperBlue Coomassie stains are an excellent choice for visualizing proteins separated by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis.
Our SuperBlue G250 stain is a colloidal Coomassie formulation with a sensitivity of ~20-40ng protein. As a colloidal stain, the SuperBlue G250 reacts only with proteins and not the gel itself, resulting in a reduced background staining that permits rapid visualization of the gel bands. Protea's SuperBlue R250 stain is a traditional Coomassie stain, with a sensitivity of ~20-40ng. Because Coomassie stains interact stoichiometrically with protein in gels, they are useful for quantitation by densitometry. The SuperBlue G250 stain is available as a ready-to-use formulation, while the SuperBlue R250 stain is provided as a 10X concentrate solution.
Sensitive - as low as 20 - 40 ng/band
Non-fixative and fixative protocols available
Useful for quantitation by densitometry
Research Applications:
Staining 1D and 2D SDS-PAGE gels
Protein studies requiring non-fixative gel staining
Densitometry studies for protein quantitation in SDS-PAGE gels
This product is for R&D use only; it is not for drug, household, or other uses.

Review: JVC KD-AVX33
When we got the JVC KD-NX5000 in for review earlier this year, we were so impressed with the single-DIN navigation/multimedia device that we slapped a CNET Editors' Choice on it. Now JVC Mobile is following the release of this year's "hero" product with a couple of other in-dash devices that make use of the same design. With its bright, 3.5-inch color LCD display, the KD-AVX33 boasts many of the same multimedia capabilities as its navigation-enabled cousin. While it doesn't have a built-in hard drive a la the KD-NX5000, the KD-AVX33 comes with a range … Read more

Can rising gas prices and a plunging economy actually help small businesses? "People are shopping closer to home," says Amy LaPerle of bluehouse. She says the eco-friendly home goods store, which opened in December '05, is doing better than ever. "Our business is still growing," she explains.
Keith Losoya of Buy Local Baltimore, a group dedicated to educating the public about the benefits of shopping locally, says merchants have seen an increase in local foot traffic. "It seems to be a silver lining," he explains.
Canton resident Drew Kennedy is a perfect example. "With costs rising the way they are currently, it makes more sense and makes me feel better staying local and supporting the corner store," he says.
But people are cutting some corners—shopping for necessities more than accessories. "There has been a shift away from handbags, jewelry, and shoes," says Lesley Jennings, co-owner of Doubledutch boutique.
Another thing keeping stores afloat? Customer loyalty. "Guys call me when traveling in New York or London to find out if I have a certain item or designer," says Ken Himmelstein of Samuel Parker Clothier. "And they wait until they return to buy it from me." Himmelstein is optimistic that things will continue to improve. "I think the mood will lift immediately after the election," he predicts. "Just in time for a brisk holiday season."

In the face of a heightened wildfire risk fueled by record dry conditions this winter (see "Dry winter heightens California wildfire dangers" in the Washington Post), two California towns considered a fire marshal's proposal to ban new shake roofs. Similar bans have been in effect throughout the West (see "Homeowner Fights Town Rules On Roofing"). As reported in the The Almanac ("New shake roofs OK for now in Woodside and Portola Valley"), the town council meeting was a face-off between advocates for wood roofing and insurance company representatives.
Roofers and a representative from a roofing shake manufacturer argued that today's treated wood shakes are more fire-resistant and can achieve a Class_A fire rating. "There are no reports of embers landing on a treated roof and having it catch on fire," Bill Hendricks, a spokesman for Chemco treated wood shakes is reported as saying. "(Flame on a shake) creates a char barrier that starves oxygen."
Despite the Class-A fire rating, insurance company representatives took a broader approach, looking at the history of homes with wood roofs in the hills above Woodside. They questioned the safety of the fire-treatment chemicals, and argued that there is no evidence how long a wood roof will stay fire-resistant, suggesting that under the intense Californian sun, wood roofs dry out over time and become more combustible. The council decided to table the proposal until more information was available to answer key questions, including: What are the chemicals used in the treatment? How much do they leach into the environment and drainage systems? How effective will the fire retardant be over a roof's life?
It was this last question that is critical to the wildfire risk. There was no dispute that existing wood roofs present a significant hazard, and the towns would seek incentives to encourage residents to replace these.

This place was really old. You could tell that upkeep was not a priority. The residents there, were just that, residents. No vacationers other than us, just people that have lived there for a really long time.

This place is the pits. No shade, no quiet, no nothing.
Theodore, Alabama
Johnny's RV Resort
[ 3/10 ]
We picked this park because it had recently been renovated on the surface, and although it's pretty, the patronage of this park is questionable. The couple of days we were there we were awoken frequently by garbage trucks, and diesel trucks of pipeline workers coming and going at all hours. The manager is nice and people are friendly, but I wouldn't call this a family friendly place. Not a vacation spot but a contractor's lodging place. There were pull through lots, but they were taken by long term pipeline workers. I won't go there again.

text: STATEMENT ON DARFURPosted 12/3/04 The Save Darfur Coalition has identified December 10-12, 2004 as Weekend of Conscience on Darfur. For the Conservative Movement, we are marking Shabbat Hanukkah as our opportunity to raise public awareness about the horrific situation in Darfur and to demand that the international community take immediate and decision action to stop the killing, rape and destruction of villages. We want to ensure that humanitarian relief reaches all those in need. Background on the Crisis in DarfurAs you know, the emergency in Sudan's northwestern region of Darfur presents the starkest challenge to the world since the Rwanda genocide in 1994. Government-backed militias, known as the Janjaweed, have been engaging in campaigns to displace and wipe out entire communities of African tribal farmers. Villages have been razed, women and girls are systematically raped and branded, men and boys murdered, and food and water supplies specifically targeted and destroyed. Government aerial bombardments support the Janjaweed by hurling explosives as well as other destructive items from planes to crush people and property. Tens of thousands have died. Well over a million have been driven from their homes. The situation has become especially volatile in the past month with Government forces encircling camps set up for those internally displaced by the conflict and denying access to UN aid agencies and other humanitarian groups. The Secretary-General's Special Envoy to Sudan, Jan Pronk, recently predicted that Darfur could "enter a state of anarchy; a total collapse of law and order" as a result of the deteriorating security situation in the region. On November 10, the Government of Sudan and rebel forces signed two accords. These accords, to ease the delivery of humanitarian aid and to accept a no-fly zone over the Darfur region, represent important preliminary steps in the right direction. However, both sides have violated previous agreements. The international community must ensure that both the Government and the rebels honor these new accords. For the first time in its history, the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has declared a "genocide emergency" in the Sudan, indicating that genocide is imminent or is actually happening in the Darfur region. If aid is denied or unavailable, as many as a million people could perish. Lives are hanging in the balance on a massive scale. Ten years ago, the international community failed to respond to what was happening in Rwanda. It is our duty to make every effort to see history does not repeat itself. Resources1. You may wish to connect some aspect of Hanukkah to this Shabbat of Conscience. For example, our commitment to freedom, our willingness to stand up and be counted in a time of crisis, our dedication to the values that we hold to be eternal. 2. Ask students to write members of Congress and urge them to be more vigilant on this issue (both the House and Senate voted unanimously to condemn the "genocide" in Darfur); Send letters to the ambassadors to the UN or Security Council member states urging them to insist on prompt action that will ensure effective implementation of demands set out in earlier Security Council resolutions. These threaten Sudan's leaders with penalties if conditions in Darfur do not improve (all member states of the Security Council can be found at http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/unsc_members.html); 3. Create a Hanukkah tzedakah project to help in the relief efforts by supporting organizations giving aid, such as JDC: Jewish Coalition for Sudan Relief, Box 321, 847A Second Avenue, New York, NY 10017; AJWS, American Jewish World Service or on-line at: http://www.jdc.org/jcdr_donate_form.html; or firstname.lastname@example.com. 4. Visit the 'Crisis in Sudan' section on the JCPA website at www.jewishpublicaffairs.org. This site contains editorials and op-ed pieces that were published in the general and Jewish newspapers; analysis items; statements and programs undertaken by various agencies; photographs; sample texts; and past communications from the JCPA office. 5.

text: Hi all. Has anyone bought anything from the newly revamped Scorpions shop yet? I'm interested in a couple of things but am unsure of the shipping fees. Upon checkout it gives me 2 choices: credit card (10 Euros) or advanced payment (9 Euros) (I'm in Canada). Looking at the shipping fee page, 10 Euros for a credit payment puts me in Zone 3 letter category. I was wondering if this 10 euro charge is the shipping fee or a processing fee and shipping is extra. Anyone have any info on this?

I need some help from you out there.
About a year ago I swithed from Sony V1E to the NX5E (w/ Amphibico). It was a struggle ... with Amphibico going out of business and my 1st NX5 having massive electronics problems. Now all seems to be OK technically. BUT... to make a long story short... the NX5 just doesn't seem to deliver the crispy, color rich and clear images I used to get from my V1E. Even in FULL AUTO, the V1E delivered quite acceptable pic's, as where the NX5 needs extensive Picture Profiles to even come close to the V1. Above water the NX5 is great, underwater it seems to forget it's a camera! MY QUESTION TO YOU ALL, has anyone had any experience with the NX5? And if yes what are those? Positive/negative? Any tricks or tips are VERY WELCOME!
What about the Sony NX5 underwater - anyone?

Hi Enver
That sounds all too familiar!
Are there any more details you can give us (descriptions, screenshots etc etc)? Any similarities to the problems we've been seeing with the FS100 and FS700? Have Sony dropped the ball for shooting underwater with the entire NXCAM range of camers?
Cheers, Simon

Part of my research for long-term investing involves determining the value of a company. When I am doing a quick evaluation to give me an idea on what stocks to do a more in depth analysis, I like to look at price ratios. Let's take a look at three companies in the Biotechnology Industry and compare how valuable they are side by side.
Price to Sales Ratio
Amgen Inc. (AMGN) 4.05
Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD) 6.1
Biogen Idec Inc. (BIIB) 6.5
Industry 280.77
When I think about value I have to think about the potential growth. How much potential growth is there? Something called the price to sales ratio gives me the best indicator of this. The lower the price/sales ratio, the healthier it is. This is the price an investor pays for $1.00 of the company's sales. The industry looks a bit misleading through MSN Money. But looking at these three companies, Amgen must be given the edge since it comes in at only two thirds of the other companies.
Price to Cash Flow Ratio
Amgen Inc. 12.2
Gilead Sciences Inc. 20.9
Biogen Idec Inc. 20.2
Industry 22.4
If I ask how much money is flowing through this company as compared to its price, I am looking at the price to cash flow ratio. The closer the ratio gets to that magical "100" the less capability a company has for profit. At "100" the company can just pay its bills with nothing left over. Even though all three companies are below the industry average here, I have to give the edge to Amgen again. It does a much better job managing its cash flow than the other two.
Price to Earnings Ratio
Amgen Inc. 15.9
Gilead Sciences Inc. 23.4
Biogen Idec Inc. 25.9
Industry 26.6
The final ratio I look at is the price to earnings ratio. This gives me an idea of how much an investor pays for $1.00 of the company's earnings. The less an investor pays for $1.00 of earnings, the better value the company has. Just like I saw in the last ratio comparison (price to cash flow), all three companies appear to be doing better than the industry average. But Amgen stands head and shoulders above the rest.
If I am comparing these three companies side by side and I would pick one that I consider a more valuable investment, I would have to choose Amgen based upon these three price-ratio comparisons. I would take this company and do a more detailed fundamental analysis. All ratio comparisons where done through MSN Money.

Chatroulette, the social website that connects users randomly for short online video chats, has become one of 2010's more interesting 'startup' stories. Founded by a 17 year-old high school student in Russia, Chatroulette has attracted so much attention that some are convinced it could become a valuable business.
Yet according to comScore, Chatroulette's traffic dropped for the first time ever in May, leading some to wonder whether Chatroulette is on the verge of proving itself to be little more than the latest crazy internet fad.
Obviously, traffic figures are going to fluctuate from month to month, and given Chatroulette's meteoric rise, a drop -- even if temporary -- was bound to occur. It's entirely possible, if not probable, that Chatroulette will see further traffic increases.
Yet there's good reason to believe that Chatroulette's fastest growth is behind it, and that it is more likely to be a fad than a long-term phenomenon: a lack of strong network effects.
There's no doubt that the social experience Chatroulette provides is intriguing, if not somewhat predictable in a NSFW way. But unlike popular social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, Chatroulette doesn't support strong, long-term connection between its users. Instead, the connections it facilitates are fleeting.
That's going to make it awfully tough for Chatroulette to maintain the kind of loyalty seen on popular social networks. Facebook users might be skeptical about the company's privacy stance, for instance, or even tire of the overall experience, but those who have lots of 'friends' will always have an incentive to stick around, even if their usage declines. Once Chatroulette users tire of the experience, however, there are no strong network effects to keep them from leaving altogether.
Considering this, the biggest challenge for Chatroulette is not finding ways to filter out body parts, but finding ways to build stronger network effects without completely eliminating the randomness that makes Chatroulette so intriguing in the first place.
For obvious reasons, that's a tall order and at some point, Chatroulette's founder, Andrey Ternovskiy, might wonder why he didn't take the money and click 'Next.'

"I lived with the pain for a couple of years before I went to the eye clinic. But not having any money to pay for treatment left me in the same place I was before," Song said. "The doctors there told me about the ORBIS organization and how they were coming to Cambodia. He told me to come back on a particular day for pre-screening -- that maybe the ORBIS doctors could help."
Song returns for ORBIS evaluation
When the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital arrived in Cambodia, Song was there. Dr. Michael Vrabec, ORBIS volunteer ophthalmologist from Valley Eye Associates and assistant clinical professor at the University of Wisconsin, in the United States, conducted Song's preliminary examination and believed that Song's case would have great teaching value for the local ophthalmologists at Preah Ang Duong Hospital, the host eye center, as well as the visiting ophthalmologists from Laos and Myanmar.
"Song represented a patient with a common scarring condition with a good prognosis for vision restoration with a cornea transplant," said Dr. Vrabec. "His surgery was straightforward, and one that the host doctors should be able to emulate in the future."
Corneal transplants are uncommon in Cambodia mainly due to the scarcity of corneal donors and the lack of surgeons trained in corneal transplantation. Dr. Sok Chendra, a training ophthalmologist from Preah Ang Duong Hospital, commented that this type of procedure was very new to him and the eye health program in Cambodia.
"Having ORBIS explain these procedures is very helpful to us all," he said. "I want to learn as much as I can about transplant surgery and how cornea donations are managed so that we can begin performing more of these surgeries in the future."
"The first thing I want to see again is the world around me," he said. "For years, the blindness in my eye made me sometimes feel ashamed to meet people. Now I hope and pray for no more tears. I pray for ORBIS and the people they help."
Surgery goes smoothly
As predicted by Dr. Vrabec, Song's surgery went smoothly and was observed by many trainees from Preah Ang Duong hospital – a gift
For Dr. Chendra, Song's surgery was particularly special. He had followed the case closely and was able to perform the final sutures on Song's new cornea.
"As of this case, I have watched three cornea transplants and feel more confident about this procedure and all that is involved," said Dr. Chendra. "I was extremely happy to be a part of this case and help with the final stages of surgery."
Results immediate
The next day, at his postoperative exam, Song looked a bit out of place in his flowing red robe aboard the colossal Flying Eye Hospital and the bustling activity that surrounded him – a far cry from his humble room at the pagoda. He waited quietly in the laser treatment room as other patients moved around him, all with similar patches on their eyes, all waiting to see what, and if, they would see when the patch was removed.
Upon examination, Song's surgery was deemed a great success. His visual acuity test showed that he could see hand motions at one meter – a huge improvement at that stage of recovery. It was then that Song shared something he had not shared before.
"I did not tell my family I was having this operation," he said with a quiver in his voice. "I did not want to give them false hope, so I kept this to myself until after the surgery was over and I could see again. Now all I want to do is call them and see them."
With a friend by his side, a fellow monk who had been with him from the beginning, Song stepped off the plane and descended down the stairway into a new life.

Alberto Del Rio won Royal Rumble 2011 by last eliminating Santino Marella. Other participants in the match include Alex Riley, Big Show, Booker T, Bray Wyatt, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Curtis Axel, Daniel Bryan, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Jack Swagger, John Cena, John Morrison, JTG, Justin Gabriel, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Mason Ryan, R Truth, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Ted DiBiase, Tyler Reks, Tyson Kidd, Vladimiz Kozlov, Wade Barrett, William Regal, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.
Despite repeated attempts by his father to interfere, Chavo Guerrero was unable to beat his uncle Eddie Guerrero in a match at the Royal Rumble.
On Monday Night Raw, Batista was spotted shaking hands with someone in the audience. It was a boxer named Nonito Donaire, whose nickname is Filipino Flash. He was also spotted backstage earlier in the evening with Jimmy Wang Yang as well.
While most wrestling fans know him as Captain Lou Albano, very few know about the origin of the nickname. As a youth, he excelled in sports, where he rose to the ranks of captain of his high school football team. It was there when people started calling him Captain.
"Say what you want about him and not like him. Believe me, I have and I will take some of that back because the guy is a really good guy. He is a cool dude and you can see why he's in the position he's in because he's a hard worker and he really gives to his fans."
- Chavo Guerrero discussing backstage heat with John Cena
Some rumors have surfaced about Chavo Guerrero and a potential return to WWE since the former TNA star was in Las Vegas on the same night that the company unveiled their brand new network. Guerrero states that he was there for unrelated business meetings.
After his release from TNA, Chavo Guerrero took to Twitter to thank the fans for supporting him. He also stated that the family name will continue in the industry.
Chavo Guerrero has been released by TNA. The company wrote him out of the story line on Impact Wrestling last night by having him open the Feast or Fired briefcase. An official press release was also sent out as well.

Comments about Malie Organics Body Butter Bun, Mango, 7.5 oz:
I really wanted to like this: I love body butters, and so far, I've liked Malie Kauai products I've tried. In theory, it seems like a good time-saving idea to moisturize in the shower. But in my experience, it just doesn't work, it feels sticky & kind of gross and you end up toweling off some of it (there's also the yellow residue issue mentioned by another reviewer). Also, the smell is not authentic at all, it's just a general cheap-smelling sweetness, I don't detect any mango at all.
Comments about Malie Organics Body Butter Bun, Mango, 7.5 oz:
I have really tried to like this. I am a true fan of Malie products. Their body wash and creams are amazing. But, this concoction is a bit of a disappointment. For one, the smell is odd (My husband describes it as rotten fruit and he actually gags when I use it), it leaves a slimy residue, and it melts rather quiclky (I suppose that could be a plus in my husbands book). Do yourself a favor, get the body cream and take the extra second it takes to apply that instead!
Comments about Malie Organics Body Butter Bun, Mango, 7.5 oz:
This is a so-so product. It did leave my skin more moisturized, with results that lasted fairly well. Yet I get the same results with avocado oil. This goes on the skin after shower, before drying off. Massage it in well, then towel off. Note: any excess will come off on your towel as a light yellow color...I have white towels and use bleach every wash, so haven't noticed any lasting reside, though. Is it a treat for the skin? Kind of. Mostly a big "meh" from me.
Comments about Malie Organics Body Butter Bun, Mango, 7.5 oz:
This is by far, my favorite product ever! I love to put it all over my body, but I especially love to put it on my legs after a fresh shave. It makes them feel so smooth and silky without even using any lotion. (Although I can't resist the Coconut Vanilla body lotion either!) It makes my skin look good, too. I would definitely recommend it!

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (4 entries)

The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
Ever wonder what a huge frozen lake looks like from space? Or what the best blunders in science history have been? Closer to home (for us anyway), have you contemplated whether America's views on evolution will ever change? Today's News Roundup brings you a mashup of thoughtful essays and some fun items to make your Friday more interesting.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Even among the majority [of Americans] who believe that God created humans, the chasm separating creationist and evolutionist views appears to be gargantuan. Are Americans really this divided over human origins? As a social scientist, I am skeptical about these findings.
Read today's News Roundup for BioLogos-curated collection of articles analyzing and commenting on last week's debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham—as well as some Valentine's Day amusements.
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"There was no better way, in Boyle's opinion, to 'give us so great a Wonder and Veneration' for God's wisdom, than 'by Knowing and Considering the Admirable Contrivance of the Particular Productions of that Immense Wisdom,' by which he mainly meant the exquisitely fashioned parts of animals both great and small."
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins

How fitting it is the beginning of National Nursing Home Week is Mother's Day, May 12. What an opportunity to remember our most cherished loved ones. Mother's Day is one of the busiest and most exciting days of the year for nursing homes. It is a day when family members make a point to visit, share memories and appreciate the people who have impacted their lives.
I am proud of our Kentucky facilities as they prepare to make sure residents enjoy every moment with their families on this special day.

Solid bike, with nuisances

Comments about Novara Transfer Bike - 2013:
The Novara Transfer is a decent bike with some nice features. It's well-built and rides nicely. I gave it an average rating, because as bikes go, it's nothing special.I like the internal hub shifter, good brakes, comfortable seat, bell, rear rack, and pedal-powered headlamp. I like the fenders but did not like that the rear fender rattled and squeaked against the frame (metal against metal, duh!). I should note that the REI bike shop assembled the bike. To fix the rattling problem, I slid rubber tubing over the bike frame between the frame and fender, then jammed another piece of rubber between the fender and it's metal c-braket.Now that the rains have returned, I have also noticed that the pedals are not very grippy. They are fine for sneakers or lug-soles, but it is almost impossible to pedal in smooth-bottomed casual shoes if the shoes or pedals are wet.

awesome bike!
By VibramGirl

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I never had a bike that shifts so easily between gears! Whether moving or stationary. And comes with front light, rear light, bell, and bracket over rear wheel. I added a mirror to the handlebar, water bottle holder, and a panier that sits on the rear bracket. Perfect. LOVE riding it! Very smooth and comfortable. AND it was a great price at 1/2 off!

Love this bike!
By Katie Joy
from Irving, TX
I love this bike! The only negative is carrying it up to our third floor apartment because with the rack and the extra bells and whistles (literally) it's a little heavy. It's a nice sturdy bike, and I have absolutely loved riding it! I would recommend it to anyone!
Assembly & quality control issues
By jgcommuter
from Durham, NC
Bike was purchased in July 2013. I agree with everything the previous reviewer, jnathanj, said in their post. This bike came with all of my desired components (except maybe drum brakes and a dyno rear light). Internal gear hub, racks, dynamo-powered front light, battery operated rear light. However this bike suffered major quality-control issues. On my first ride with the bike (7 mi.)the rear wheel starting rubbing against the frame to the point where the wheel froze up and I could no longer ride. After the long walk home, I took the bike into REI. They fixed the rear wheel and replaced my tire at no cost, the same day. I took the bike out for a short ride to the grocery store and back with no issues, but when I got home I noticed the V-brakes were rubbing against the tires and the wheels were out-of-true. I adjusted the V-brakes to compensate for the wheels and took the bike on another ride. I only made it ~100 yards before my pedal fell off the crankset and stripped the threads. I brought the bike into REI and discussed my concerns about assembly/poor quality issues. The REI mechanic told me to leave the bike with him and he would fix my pedal and go over the bike thoroughly, free of charge. I've since done ~ 100 miles on the bike with no issues. It rides much better now! So hopefully the bike was just assembled haphazardly, and it just needed a good once-over. Overall, I really like this bike. Aside from my initial quality-control issues, this bike comes with everything a commuter needs at a great deal. REI's customer service is excellent!

Novara's well-sorted commuter bike
By jnathanj
from Saint Louis, MO
Kudos to whoever specified this bike's build. It's fine, with components matched, a great commuter steed right out of the store.Nice touches: The AXA lighting; headlight has an inbuilt capacitor/condensor to keep it shining for a few minutes after the dyno-hub stops feeding it. The battery powered taillight has a movement sensor, so that the rider's wiggling, even at a stop, keeps it lit even after its default 'a few minutes on'. Both lights can be left in "AUTO" for self-turn-on at dusk. Head light has terminals which could easily be used for other power take-offs (phone charger/dyno-powered other-lights)More nice touches: Threaded headset and quill stem make for easy adjustments, and the microadjust seatpost lets you dial in the tilt and fore-aft of the saddle. The integrated seatpost-binder/forward rack mount is nice too, a 'clean detail'.Tires on mine were Schwalbe Marathon with reflective sidewalls.The mass-conscious could ditch/swap the Alu kickstand, the Alu chainguard, and/or the sturdy and nicely finished steel fenders, if they seek to trim weight below the as-built 38# for the largest model. All other major parts esp. handlebars are already alloy by my magnet tests.Final drive ratio is approximately:1 crank turn = 8+1/2 ft. in low,21+1/6 ft. in high (7th gear).Value? at its late summer 2013 pricing,it's nearly a screaming deal, I feel.
Smooth ride
By Nataliee
from Santa Monica, Ca
Got rid of my mountain bike !Love this bike, raised the front bar , I sit upright it is very comfortable, very smooth ride on the street .The internal gear is amazing and the ride is very smooth.I was not sure about the bike being heavier but after a few hours at Rei, and test driving a few different bikes, I came back to this one, steel bikes = a smooth ride!Will probably upgrade for a better saddle soon.

With only 2 weeks to the elections & important decisions for ETA, I wanted to ask if you have discussed something I sent through on another message, being transformation through development - Montessori prepared environment(Anna Freud used this in play therapy & is a way of working our tradition, language, culture, education in a very gentle subtle way which comes from the people themselves, with exercises designed by Maria Montessori with work of Edoard Seguin & later Jean Piaget's work on the origin of intelligence in the child, which builds the foundation of the mind & the brain ) Classic dance - being a physical way of rebuilding the body & the biological construction of the brain& mental construction of the mind. RAtional Behaviour Therapy which takes in all the experimentation of the second world war & produces a step by step programme with explanation of therapy & counselling, for, CONSCIOUSLY, changing any habit which you would like to change, this would also be national or international habits. Except for the classic dance the work can be done by the community, for the community, ALSO CREATING DICTIONARIES, A TIMELINE OF LITERATURE, ETC, which i believe is our wish.
ON OCTOBER 20TH ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna—"Basque Homeland and Freedom"), the armed Basque separatist group, announced a "definitive cessation" to its decades-long terrorist campaign for an independent Basque homeland. The group has killed 829 people since it was formed in the late 1950s during the Franco dictatorship.
But in recent years, severely weakened by a series of successful joint Spanish-French police operations, it has been a shadow of its former self. In 1980, its most murderous year, it was responsible for 92 deaths. Since it broke its last ceasefire, in 2007, it has killed ten; paltry, by the group's bloody standards. ETA's recent declaration was in part the result of pressure from its 700 prisoners, who knew the game was up.
The historical timeline below tells the story of ETA's campaign.

| Posted about 6 years ago Hi kilay22, I've only been a CNA for over a year now but I can tell you some experiences that I had. Your Nurse will guide you In the Orientation. You have to get familiar with every "resident", if you are working in a Nursing Home, their care guidelines, who goes to what activities, who takes a shower/bath each day and all the other things like nails, shampoo, foot checks, etc. You get to know who get a bed strip, wheel chairs cleaned, rolling walker, and etc., who has alarms and who are on a fall risks. Peri cares, toileting, use of gait belt, all the kinds of lift machine and who needs to be repositioned every hour, 2 hours, and etc.

| Posted almost 7 years ago my first day was a nightmare. I was sent to a medicare unit in a nursing home and wasn't told that I was covering someone who called in sick. I was in tears by the end of the day from being yelled at by the nurse ( who didn't know I was new ) for not being on top of my assignment and the other cna for the same thing. I went straight to the DON and threatened to quit if this ever happened again. I grew tough skin and sucked it up and it turned out to be a wonderful job to care for the same people day after day. |

The Texas Rangers are more popular than the Dallas Cowboys. That doesn't sound right, does it?
Nolan Ryan even had to take a second to digest the information. The thought of that had never crossed his mind.When Ryan spent the final five years of his big-league career with the Rangers from 1989-1993, the Cowboys were America's Team. They were starting a dynasty that would win three Super Bowls in four years behind the triplets, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin.The Rangers, meanwhile, had never made a postseason trip and could have only dreamt of being as popular as the Cowboys one day."The Cowboys were an extremely big attraction and draw, not just here but nationwide," said Ryan, the Rangers' CEO and president. "They had such a history and popularity. The Rangers obviously weren't even close to having that type of fan interest, so I never gave it much thought about how we rated with the Cowboys."Well, that one day has come and it's happened. The Rangers have become more popular than the Cowboys in Dallas-Fort Worth, according to a survey by the Scarborough Sports Team.The survey asked Dallas-Fort Worth adults whether they have watched, attended or listened to a Rangers or Cowboys game in the past year. A "yes" answer is considered a fan, and 62 percent answered positively for the Rangers.That was one percentage point higher than the Cowboys.It's the first time the Rangers have been ranked higher than the Cowboys, and DFW is one of only 10 metropolitan areas with more fans of the baseball team than football team.There are a handful of reasons why the Rangers overtook the Cowboys, and all signs point to winning.The Rangers have been to the playoffs the past three seasons, including two of the past three World Series. The team also had star power, from Josh Hamilton to Adrian Beltre to Yu Darvish.The Cowboys, conversely, have lost more games than they have won (22-26) over the past three seasons and have not been to the playoffs during that time.Local fans have expressed some distress with how this past off-season has gone for the Rangers, but it's nothing compared to the vitriol thrown daily at the Cowboys.Chris Navarre, a 29-year-old from Grapevine, is a passionate fan of all the Metroplex teams. He splits season tickets to the Rangers, Cowboys and Mavericks, and is not surprised to hear the Cowboys have fallen behind the Rangers."Winning will do that," Navarre said. "You have an ownership group that cares about winning and it goes back to winning sells. Honestly, the Cowboys have slipped to No. 3 for me behind the Rangers and Mavericks."It seems like the only thing out of Valley Ranch is headlines and drama. And there's no home-field advantage at Jerry World."Cowboys Stadium has priced out many fans with personal seat license fees and increased ticket costs.The Rangers boosted ticket prices this winter, and time will tell how much of an effect that will have on attendance.But it's clear that sports fans have gravitated more toward the Rangers, who set an attendance record of 3,460,280 at Rangers Ballpark last season, third highest in baseball.The Rangers are well aware of the increased fan support, too. General manager Jon Daniels opened his season-ending press conference by thanking the fans for their support, not just in the DFW area but throughout the country.The overwhelming support even caught new Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski by surprise when he served as a guest analyst for the 2011 World Series telecast. He recalled a story last month at FanFest about walking throughout DFW with his family, and seeing Rangers gear on every corner. That wasn't the case, Pierzynski said, when he visited Texas early in his playing days.Fox Sports Southwest senior vice president/general manager Jon Heidtke has also enjoyed watching the Rangers wake up what had been a sleeping baseball town.In 2007, the Rangers' average rating for a game was 1.4. Last year, it reached an all-time high of 5.9.Additionally, the Rangers had nine of the all-time top-10 ratings on FSSW last season, led by a record 10.7 on April 9 for Yu Darvish's major league debut."This market has always been a baseball market, but the fans just didn't have much to rally around or cheer for," Heidtke said. "Over the last few years, the Rangers have really galvanized that, and you saw it with the attendance record. I think it comes down to the team success, signing Yu Darvish, getting Nolan Ryan back involved, all those things really energized the fan base."And it's not just in DFW. We're really seeing it throughout the region, in San Antonio, in Oklahoma City, in Austin. There's an excitement and energy, and Ranger-mania has been sweeping the region."Say it again, the Rangers are more popular than the Cowboys.Sustaining it is the challenge that lies ahead for Ryan and Daniels.Ryan said the two most important factors to maintaining popularity is to continue to win on the field and sign players who make it easy to pull for by playing hard."As long as we continue to stay on the course that we're on, we'll stimulate that fan interest," Ryan said.Drew Davison817 390-7760Twitter: @drewdavisonBaseball towns

Lmao!!! hahahahahah Wow!! Did you just call Hiashi a fodder??? The one who knows all the Hyuga Techs and secrets???? Thats failed logic at its best! Just because others are not main characters or lack screen time does not making them any weaker then the mains. With tah tlogic All uchiha not named itachi, madara, izuna, sasuke, shisu, tobi are fodders! All senju not named hashirama, tobirama, tsunade are fodder! All Uzamakis not name kushina, nagato, naruto, mito are fodders! You get where im going??? Your logic fails! Because not every character can get screen time nor do we know what they can do! Neji is far from the best hyuga ever, and hinato is far from being strong like neji!
You fail so hard its sad! It shows you know nothing out side the characters you like specifically (i.e. naruto, kakashi, etc). Just give up!
You do knwo besides EMS users no uchiha can spam susanoo for long and it hurts them extremely just having it activated right??? And this is besides the constant chakra drainage! Even when MS sasuke TRIED too spam susanoo, he could only keep it up for seconds only! Not forever like you seem too think! And you act like a hyuga will just stand still while the opponent attacks from a distance. -___- I can care less who can win, because it depends on the circumstances, but atleast know your facts for uchihas and hyugas before you spit non sense! You are dismissed!

It's time now to crown another Classroom Champion and this week we congratulate Jill Sikes of Brenham High School.
News 3 Sports would like to congratulate our latest classroom champion Jill Sikes. The Brenham High School senior has a 4.03 Grade Point Average and is ranked in the top ten percent of her class.
Jill is the team captain of the volleyball team and the starting catcher on the softball team. She was a 1st Team All District selection and the Defensive MVP in both sports. Jill also helped the Lady Cubs reach the playoffs in volleyball and softball. She also made the Academic All District team as a freshman. Academically, Jill is a member of the National Honor Society, the Spanish Club, Interact Club, FCA, and the Student Council. Jill is also very active at her church and in her school.
"Jill is in my food science class. She's also a member of the NHS society. And shes an excellent athlete. She plays both volleyball and softball. I have been taking pictures of her for years. I cover a lot of the sports here and take pictures as a hobby. I've enjoyed watching Jill over the years mature on the field and also on the court. As I have her in class now, I've just grown to know what a wonderful girl she is. She has a lot of leadership abilities...She's very dedicated to her studies and also her sports...And she's very very competitive, and I just love having her."
"Jill's a senior for us! Catcher…Four year starter…Incredible leader! This is my first year having the opportunity to coach her. Out of my nine previous years, Jill maybe one of the top catchers I've ever coached." "She just has a strong work ethic. She has the desire to succeed in everything that she does. She has a great home life, great parental support…And it's just very evident in her personality and her desire to be successful."
"I'm Jill Sikes! I go to Brenham High School; I'm a senior. I play volleyball and softball. I've been on varsity for both sports for four years now." "Schoolwork is really important to me, you have to get that done first before it comes to sports. I always try to get my homework done before I have to go. Hard work and dedication is pretty much what it comes down to me. You always have to strive to do your best. We're working for a state championship right now, so I'm trying to work hard for that."
Jill plans on attending Hendrix College, and majoring in Education to one day become a coach.
Congratulations to Jill Sikes of Brenham High School!
This week's News 3 Sports Classroom Champion!
