500 years ago, when Spanish conquistadors descended on the New World in search of gold and treasure, they were dazzled by the splendors of the Incan empire. But they were also amazed by the presence of mummies among the living accorded places of honor at banquets, sought out as sources of guidance and advice, even maintained in vast estates!
THE DEATH CULT OF THE INCAS journeys high into the Andes to investigate the mysterious role the dead played in Incan culture. Leading experts such as Jorge Flores-Ochoa, from Peru's Cuzco University, detail the astonishing beliefs that governed the Incas' relationship with their dead, and reveal how the mummies were preserved. Period accounts from the Spanish invaders tell of opulently dressed mummies being offered the finest food and drink at ceremonies, while ancient art and artifacts help shed light on the pervasive death cult.
It is often said that one can tell how civilized a society is by how they treat their dead the dead of the Incas were treated very well indeed!

There's no way a travel show can appeal to every possible visitor, but BEST OF BOTH WORLDS does a better job than most. With two hosts visiting the same place in markedly different styles, viewers get a much better sense of the range of options they are likely to encounter, as well as the wealth of opportunities available to adventurers on any budget.
A&E's innovative new series heads to the Pacific to explore the island paradise of Hawaii. Our two hosts know where they're heading, but they don't know in advance who gets to go the five-star route and who is going to experience this idyllic archipelago on a backpacker's budget. After the coin flip to decide, they are on their ways, the upscale tourist to savor the "crème de la crème" of luxury hotels and exclusive resorts, the budget traveler to be immersed in the natural beauty and distinctive culture of the islands. Of course, their paths cross at times, and both get to share favorite moments from their extraordinary visit.

Q:can this be used for a soap bar and if so does it fit?Asked on 3/28/2014 by tay
4 answers
A:I would recommend our body butter tin instead!Answered on 4/1/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:No, not unless you've used most of the soap and only have a small amount left. The circular tin is less than 2.5 inches in diameter. Not very large. It's perfect for shampoo bars. The square tin is 2.75" x 2.7" and could work for soap, depending on how many ounces you buy. Also, you can always cut the soap to whichever size best fits your container. The soaps are soft and easy enough to cut with a steak knife. That is actually what I do. It helps conserve soap because the entire bar doesn't get wet and 'melt' when coming in contact with water. I usually cut my soap bars in half or thirds and save the extra pieces util I'm ready for them. Best of luck!

A:It will work for a small piece of soap. You just have to cut the soap to
fit the tin!Answered on 3/28/2014 by Anonymous
A:The shampoo bar tin is specifically designed to perfectly fit the shampoo bars which are circular. Lush soap bars are rectangular and would not fit in the shampoo bar tin.

The story of the Trojan War is more than 3,000 years old. The Greek poet Homer told its tale in the Iliad and the Odyssey (600 years after Odysseus sailed for home). Now Hollywood has its version, starring Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom and Diane Kruger as Helen. At the heart of this story of war, power, sex and love, is a face--the face that launched a thousand ships.
They say she was the most beautiful woman in the world and that every man desired her. Her name was Helen. TROY: THE REAL PASSION OF HELEN looks at the story of Troy from the perspective of the woman at the heart of the conflict. Follow Helen's myth from her mother's rape by the god Zeus to the destruction of a civilization, and see if the war was really about her. Hear from the stars of the movie what it was like to go back in time, and get a unique perspective from experts like Camille Paglia and Arianna Huffington, who has written on Greek mythology.

Sam Michael believes it will be "extremely tight" during qualifying in Melbourne, but he is confident McLaren "will be in the mix".
Ferrari, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull all led the pack at various stages during pre-season testing this campaign with Mercedes probably the pick of the bunch.
However, all teams will be first to admit that you shouldn't read too much into the times of these tests and McLaren sporting director Michael feels the pack will be bunched up for the first race in Australia.
"You've got nine teams within a second," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "That is going to make it close. It will make it extremely tight through the qualifying sessions in Melbourne."
Nico Rosberg posted the fastest time over the two pre-season tests at Barcelona while his team-mate Lewis Hamilton finished P1 on both his testing days at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Michael admits he is impressed by the pace of the Brackley squad's W04, but as usual a lot of the teams were not doing the same runs so it is difficult predict what will happen in Australia.
"You can clearly see Mercedes are fast," he said. "They have been fast all the time. They look like they've got their car together.
"Behind that, it's really difficult to see anything else. When everyone is on the same tyres, you still don't know where the fuel loads are and you're not going to know that until qualifying in Melbourne and we'd be kidding ourselves if we thought we knew."
As for Jenson Button and Sergio Perez's chances come race day Albert Park, Michael said: "We'll definitely be in the mix. In terms of confidence of whether we can be on the front row and win in Melbourne, I just don't know.
"I wouldn't say I was confident or unconfident. I'm neither way, just because I'm being honest. We just don't know."

2012 Brazilian Grand Prix: The circle is complete, and what a circle it's been [spoilers]
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Nov 26th, 2012 at 1:45PM
The track between the lakes, the Circuit d'Interlagos in Sao Paulo, Brazil, yet again served up a fitting finale to the Formula One season. There were all kinds of ways for the two Driver's Championship contenders – Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull and Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari – to win and lose during the 71 laps of the Brazilian Grand Prix, and that was before the rain, before the yellow flags and safety car periods, and before the accidents. The World Championship lead swapped hands at least three times during the race. By the end of Lap One, in fact, it was a fair... Read More

I have a bumper sticker on my car provided by the American Farmland Trust. I like it because it's (so very) succinct.
No Farms. No Food.
We have another slogan in the making here in Texas this summer.
No Water. No Energy.
With more than half of the state gripped by a severe drought. (See this dro
ught map), questions are surfacing about how wise it is to pump millions of gallons of water laced with lubricants and toxic chemicals into the earth to extract natural gas, a practice known as hydraulic fracturing.
Actually, it's not a question confined to Texas. "Fracking" is being debated in several states, Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado and others, where natural gas drillers see opportunity in blasting methane gas from shale deposits deep in the earth, but residents worry about water and air pollution from the process.
In New York, several groups have organized to protest the potential sullying of the upstate watershed that feeds New York City as gas production companies line up to drill into the Marcellus Shale.
Next door, many Pennsylvania residents remain angry over the contamination of local water wells in areas near gas drilling operations. (A recent study by Duke University scientists found methane contamination of local wells located near gas wells in the Marcellus Shale region.)
In Texas, the water question has been compounded by a new focus on oil shale reserves in South Texas. Oil companies are using the same water-intensive fracking techniques employed by the natural gas industry to tap these tightly packed reserves. But the arid region may not have the water to sustain this latest oil boom, and could suffer serious trade-offs as water is diverted to energy exploration.
Meanwhile, in North Central Texas, gas drillers continue to blast into the Barnett Shale region around Dallas and Fort Worth, an area that's already been punched with gas wells like a pin cushion. Operations are driving ever closer to suburban and urban neighborhoods, fueling citizen protests over the damage to air quality and the consumption and contamination of water. Waste water from the wells, known as "produced water," has been one hot button issue, because it can leach back into the ground from holding pits.
All this, and gas drillers are still not required to reveal the toxic chemicals they use in the fracturing process, having been exempted from the Clean Water Drinking Act of 1974 by a handy piece of legislation known as the Halliburton Loophole passed in 2005.
We're far from the day when produced water is recycled (though some companies are taking early steps), and nowhere near a consensus about what is reasonable or justifiable water use.
To be fair, I looked up what Chesapeake Energy, a big player in the natural gas boom, has to say about the water use involved in "fracking" a well. On its website, Chesapeake acknowledges that it takes about 5 million gallons of water to blast open a typical shale gas well (with 4.5 million gallons being pumped into the earth). But it tries to put that figure into perspective:
The 5 million gallons of water needed to drill and fracture a typical deep shale gas well is equivalent to the amount of water consumed by:
- New York City in approximately seven minutes
- A 1,000 megawatt coal-fired power plant in 12 hours
- A golf course in 25 days
- 7.5 acres of corn in a season
I guess what scares me here is that this argument doesn't convince me that we need to quit worrying about fracking, so much as it suggests we need to rethink how we burn coal and green golf courses!
As for the amount of water it takes to grow corn, this water price tag at least produces a commodity that we need. You could argue that we need natural gas also (I admit it, I'm a user), but here we have water-friendlier options: Energy conservation, net-zero homes, wind power, solar power, electric cars.
Corn is an important food item, and it needs water to grow, and we'd best save all the water we can so we can continue to grow it. (Though to put this in perspective, I would have to note that 80 percent of the corn grown in the U.S. is used to feed livestock – a ridiculous use of this grain, because so much goes to fatten cows who would rather be eating grass. There's a lot of energy and water behind those excessively "marbled" steaks that have done so much for our heart health all these years.)
I'm left to conclude that we should evaluate ALL of our water use in this country, before we end up in the situation facing so many nations where residents die for lack of sanitary water, or go into battle for it, as they have in Myanmar this week where soldiers are fighting the construction of dams by China that will redirect water, and displace villages in Myanmar. (See the full story from ENS.)
China needs the power. Myanmar needs the water.

Thomas Warren, wtop.com
FAIRFAX, Va. - Inova Fairfax Hospital doled out free flu shots Saturday afternoon in a move to help slow the flu outbreak that has griped most of the nation.
For the last four weeks, the flu has been widespread — the most severe of the four activity levels recorded by state health officials, according to a health department report.
The clinic offered both the nasal spray and needle versions of the flu shot.
Armen Noruzi, 11, was overcome with nervousness before sitting down to get the nasal spray version, even having the following exchange with nurse Mary Sena:
Armen: "What if I sniff it up, and I get killed?" Mary: "You won't get killed, I promise you." Armen: "You promise?" Mary: "Yes."
Armen scrunched up his face, breathed in, and after a few shrieks of "Oh God, oh God," Armen survived. Afterwards he didn't care that his mom and brother, Keeon, were chuckling at his despair.
"At least I'm lucky I won't be getting the flu this winter," Armen said.
His brother Keeon, 11, took it all in stride, and said it didn't hurt at all.
"It feels like when you get that fizzy feeling when you drink a lot of soda," he said.
Sena, who serves as Inova Fairfax's flu supervisor, says the flu mist vaccine is not for everyone.
"Anybody who has asthma, or lives with anybody who is immuno-compromised, or is immuno-compromised themselves can't get it," she said.
Young children made up a majority of those getting shots Saturday. That's likely because of the extra precautions needed to ensure they are protected against the virus.
"Children under 9 years old, if they haven't had a flu shot in a prior flu season, or if they haven't had a shot in the last couple years, they'll need two this flu season," says Rachel Lynch, manager for Prevention and Self Care.
Inova Fairfax held the clinic even as it has instituted temporary visitor restrictions, because of the flu outbreak.
The Inova Health Care system has scheduled two additional clinics this month:
- Jan. 19 at the Fair Oaks Campus
- Jan. 26 at the Inova Fairfax campus
"If there's still a large demand at that point, and we have the supply, we'll have more," Lynch says.

The majority of travelers come to Anaheim because they visit Disneyland Resort. However, the city has more to offer than just the incredible fairytale land.
What to do
The main attraction in the city is Disneyland Resort with themed adventures and fairytale locations. The place is a favorite of both adults and children and for good reasons: the original Disneyland park opened in 1955 and has ever since attracted children of all ages from all over the world.
But Anaheim is also popular for sports. Angel Stadium of Anaheim is the home of Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of the American League and over the years has witnessed some great events in the world of baseball. Honda Center is home to NHL's Anaheim Ducks and is easily turned into an indoor arena where concerts and other events take place.
Getting there
The obvious choice for the airport close to Anaheim is Los Angeles International Airport. The majority of travelers from aboard will catch a flight to Los Angeles and then take the Disneyland Resort Express to get to the resort. In case you are not heading to the resort, you can book the Los Angeles airport shuttle in advance. If you need to go to the airport by car, you can pay for the Los Angeles airport parking in advance as well.
Besides this obvious choice, you can also choose the closest airport to Anaheim which is John Wayne Orange County Airport (SNA). There are plenty of flights to Orange Count Airport available. If you need a shuttle to pick you up from home and take you to the airport and back, you can book the Orange County Airport shuttle in advance and save both time and money.
Where to stay
Outside the obvious choice of staying as close as possible to Disneyland Resort, travelers should know that there are plenty of affordable hotels in Anaheim. Additional, one can choose among the hostels in Anaheim as well but you should know that these aren't "real" hostels: they are budget accommodations which offer a good alternative for the cost-conscious travelers.

We Won't Bow Down
Page 2
Now, I believe that community is a subversive force. To understand what I mean by subversive, let's go back to the defeatists. They, like much of our society, speak a language in which everything but a pie-in-the-sky kind of victory is defeat, in which everything that isn't black is white, in which if you haven't won, you've surely lost. If you asked them, they'd say we live in a capitalist society. In fact, we live in an officially capitalist society, but what prevents that force from destroying all of us is the social aid and pleasure we all participate in: parents don't charge their children for raising them; friends do things for each other, starting with listening without invoicing for billable hours; nurses and mechanics and everyone in between do a better job than money can pay for for beautiful reasons all their own; people volunteer to do something as specific as read to a blind person or as general as change the world. Our supposedly capitalist society is seething with anticapitalist energy, affection and joy, which is why most of us have survived the official bleakness. In other words, that's not all there is to our system. Our society is more than and other than capitalist in a lot of ways.
To say that Carnival reconciles us to the status quo is to say that it affirms the world as it is. Now, for people in Rex, their Mardi Gras probably reinforces their world, but for those in some of the other krewes and rites, the same is true, and the reinforcement of the survival of the mutual aid societies that emerged after slavery is not reaffirmation of capitalism, domination, etc. It reinforces, in other words, their ongoing survival of capitalism and racism. Carnival also reinforces joy and ownership of public space and a kind of confidence in coexisting with a wide array of strangers. New Orleans itself is the place where, unlike the rest of the United States, slaves were not so cut off from chances to gather and chances to maintain their traditions. Jazz and jazz funerals, second-line parades and more derive in many ways from this subversive remnant of a non-European tradition. They didn't bow down. This is something to celebrate, and it is what is celebrated by some of the people in the streets.
In 2006 and 2007 Mardi Gras in New Orleans was also proof to the city that it had survived Katrina, that it had not died. The parades were full of scathing political commentary, even the mainstream ones (and Krewe du Vieux started parade season this year with the theme "Fired Up!" which brought in a lot of sexy devil costumes and floats depicting local political institutions as flaming hells). To say Carnival of New Orleans is to speak of dozens of disparate traditions and agendas braided together. Which makes the willingness of anyone to generalize about Carnival—which includes the Latin American, Caribbean, European and New Orleanian versions—troublesome.
Really, I shouldn't even be saying things so obvious except that defeatisms so obviously based on misapprehensions keep getting thrown into my face. Of course our society's dominant culture of media and entertainment serves consumerism and the belief in our own powerlessness. But if the status quo is the world as it is, it also includes myriad subversions and strategies for survival, and these seem to me to also be reinforced by Carnival. Fifteen years ago a subversive group called Reclaim the Streets (RTS) began turning British political demonstrations into something festive and inventive and even joyous, with a raucous in-your-face joy. "We are about taking back public space from the enclosed private arena. At its simplest it is an attack on cars as a principle agent of enclosure. It's about reclaiming the streets as public inclusive space from the private exclusive use of the car. But we believe in this as a broader principle, taking back those things which have been enclosed within capitalist circulation and returning them to collective use as a commons."
I'd argue that Reclaim the Streets in mostly Protestant Britain reclaimed the street festival, the Carnival spirit, as something deeply subversive. The group even called one of its demonstrations, the famous one on June 18, 1999, the Carnival Against Capital, held in London's financial district, which was much disrupted that day by the masked, festive throng. The participants saw taking back public space, making it inclusive, giving it a function other than its everyday one, as radical. This is what Carnival does, and so by RTS's terms Carnival is radical, not reconciling us to the status quo but subverting it. Carnival is inherently against capital.
The Fine Art of Raising a Ruckus
Clowns and puppets, theater and drumbeats—street spectacle carves out space for experiencing a new world.
From another perspective, the June 18 street party was a bunch of rowdy white kids, but it had sister actions in dozens of countries, including Nigeria, and it prepared the resistant world for the profoundly successful attack on corporate capital at the Seattle WTO meeting later that year, which, with its famed giant puppets, costumes, marching bands and banners, was very Carnivalesque. The Carnival for Full Enjoyment faced off the G-8 meeting in Gleneagles, Scotland, with similar tactics for subversion, notably CIRCA, the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army, whose tactics were infinitely subversive and never oppositional and threw the police into confusion (but not rage). The performance theorist and activist Larry Bogad calls this "tactical carnival" and notes that in 2001 the FBI listed Carnival Against Capital as a terrorist group (failing to recognize that it was a concept, not an organization, but correctly recognizing that it doesn't really reconcile us to the status quo).
Former RTS organizer John Jordan points out that quite a lot of peasant uprisings began during festivals. In his book Carnival and Other Christian Festivals, Max Harris recounts the theological basis for Carnival's inversion of hierarchies, the passage in the Magnificat where Mary says (in Luke 1:52), in celebration of the impending birth of her son, "He hath put down the mighty from their seats and hath exalted the humble." Carnival, he says, is a festival of inversion. Some inversions are symbolic, decorative, recreational and temporary, but to discount even those is to discount the way that culture can provide us visions, invitations and tools to make such things more real and enduring, whether a full-fledged revolt, as at the Seattle WTO, or the survival of such things as aid and pleasure and pride and solidarity. Just to disrupt business as usual, as jazz funerals and second-line parades have always done in New Orleans, and as Reclaim the Streets did for a few years in a few countries, is subversive.
Carnival doesn't necessarily reconcile us to the status quo. But theories that defeat is inevitable, is our legacy, our history, and our future, do. We have arrived in a future that is itself science fiction: we have turned our planet into something far more turbulent and uncertain than anyone anticipated, and to survive it and bring it back to something livable will require a massive subversion of the status quo of corporate production and excess consumption, will require innovation, imagination and profound change. The defeatism that says there is nothing we can do or that we have no power sabotages our survival. It is pre-emptive surrender. "Status quo" in Latin means "the state in which," and the state things are usually in includes dominance, acquiescence, and refusal to bow down, in various mixes. More than ever we need Carnival at its most subversive to survive, and to make resistance a pleasure and an adventure rather than only struggle and grim duty. This is the revolution that Emma Goldman wanted to dance to, the one that draws people in. Don't bow down. To capital. Or to cliché or oversimplification or defeatism. Try rising up instead. It's more interesting.

People in the Town of Schoharie had the opportunity to talk about new land use laws that could prevent hydrofracking and other heavy industry activities from moving in. YNN's Maria Valvanis has more.
SCHOHARIE, N.Y. -- "I think it's terrific. It's a very, very, thorough elaboration of what the town wants that can't be misinterpreted either deliberately or unintentionally."
Glenn Sanders is happy to hear of the planning board's proposed land use law amendment. Something the town asked them to create after realizing the current law isn't very clear.
"There is a series for each district of allowable uses. If it is not an allowable use, then it shouldn't occur, however, the language for an allowable use is somewhat ambiguous," said Planning Board Chairman Jeremy Rosenthal.
Meaning even though the current law is meant to stop heavy industry activity, like fracking, it really can't.
Town Supervisor Gene Milone said, "Were looking to salvage the rural atmosphere that we live in here. That's why when we reference heavy industries, those are things the comprehensive plan is opposed too."
Officials say the changes aren't an actual ban but instead tighten the current definition, to make sure no one can find any loop holes.
Rosenthal said, "What we're trying to accomplish through this land use law amendment is that the definition of allowable use is tightened up so that someone who had a project that they were proposing couldn't sneak through the back door with a land use that would not be acceptable." The county board will review the changes early next month, before it goes to the town board for a final vote, something residents say will come as a sigh of relief.
"I'm sure many people in the town and county are very happy to see strict restrictions," said Sanders.

FREDERICK, Md. - While standing in line at a bank in Frederick, Md., I overheard the man in front of me say to the teller: "Hey did those egg casings take care of the stink bug problem?"
Stop everything.
Did he just say stink bug and problem solved in the same sentence? Time to go into reporter mode.
The man I overheard was David Heisler, a farmer from Comus, Md. A big believer in biodiversity, he uses nature to help with his crops and other problems. He also has a market across the highway from The Comus Inn at Sugarloaf Mountain. I said to David, "Please, please tell me what you said to the teller about stink bugs."
David said he has praying mantis egg casings on his property and the mantises love to eat stink bugs. A few years back David, along with us all, suffered when stink bugs made their debut in the Maryland region -- at least in numbers that could infest.
You've probably seen a praying mantis in your backyard at one time or another. Most people are freaked out by their looks -- they look like something from a bad Japanese horror movie. But don't be put off by the strange appearance. These guys are a gardener's friend.
Heisler told me not only does a praying mantis eat stink bugs, but they eat Japanese beetles (the killer of roses and other plants) and flies. Have you ever seen a praying mantis on your screen door? No, he's not waiting for you to come out and play -- he's looking for flies.
Egg casings for praying mantises can be found in your bushes. Check out the pictures to see what they look like. Each casing can house from 10 to a 100 baby praying mantises. When I'm mowing my lawn I always see them along the fence line. I keep an old peanut butter jar with holes in the top to store these guys when I see them. Then, they're released into my garden. No more Japanese beetles and no more stink bugs.
If you look closely on the chest of one of these praying mantises, you'll see a tiny red "S" on their chest - that's because they truly are super when it comes to dealing with insects that can hurt your garden.

Science and Theology: Questioning the "Two-State Solution"
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.

- The service-productivity learning cockpit – a business intelligence tool for service enterprises (2012)
- The paper describes the development of an agent-based simulation tool for hospital managers to manage their productivity of services, especially in the context of supporting services like patient transport logistics. The learning cockpit allows hospital managers to see how the change of inputs changes the overall perceived customer values of all stakeholders and therefore to get a visualization of the impacts their decisions cause. The paper introduces the general research domain service-productivity, followed by a description of the development steps of artefact creation. The learning cockpit is part of a research project called BELOUGA, which is funded by the German government.
- Theoretical and Computation Basis for CATNETS - Annual Report Year 3 (2007)
- In this document the developments in defining the computational and theoretical framework for economical resource allocation are described. Accordingly the formal specification of the market mechanisms, bidding strategies of the involved agents and the integration of the market mechanisms into the simulator were refined.
- Tagungsband zum Doctoral Consortium der WI 2011 (2011)
- Since the early 1990es, young researchers participate in the doctoral consortium series, co-located with the "Wirtschaftsinformatik" conference. This volume contains the selected papers of 20 PhD candidates of the 2011 doctoral consortium in Zurich.
- A Survey on Reputation Systems for Artificial Societies (2009)
- The Internet has caused a revolution in trading. Especially cheap items are now easy to buy and sell on the Internet. As a consequence, sellers nowadays offer a wide range of products on the web, creating an abundance of choice for consumers. Consumers have the opportunity to browse on different auction sites for the item they really want. Along with this success story, however, came the stories of people being cheated by fraudulent online sellers. These frauds cover a range from not delivering what has been promised, the overrating of a product´s condition, to deliberate acts of theft. They are a result of so-called asymmetric information. Trust and reputation mechanisms are intended to address this asymmetric information distribution. This article surveys the most common trust and reputation systems.
- A Policy Framework including Trust and Reputation in Grid Environments (2007)
- This paper examines the role of policies in different grid environments. A Grid technology becomes standardized and stable, various business models are envented and increasingly applied, and economic implications can be observed.Asymmetrically distributed information may allow for opportunistic behaviour of service providers or users who exploit the information gap between providers and consumers on the quality of services.
- A Scalability Analysis of Grid allocation Mechanisms (2008)
- This article examines the broker´s behavior with regard to a varying number of participating nodes and shows that incremental losses have to be accepted in central resource allocation when introducing new nodes.
- Proof-of-Concept Application - Annual Report Year 3 (2007)
- In this report the progress of developing the proof-of-concept application in the CATNETS project is presented. Hence the development of the necessary performance measuring components as well as a distributed application to execute on economic-enhanced Grid/P2P platforms and middleware integration are described.
- CATNETS Final Activity Report (2007)
- This paper presents the final activity report of the CATNETS project. It summarizes the project objectives, the contractors involved, the work performed and the final results. A description of the dissemination activities concludes the report.
- Performance Evaluation - Annual Report Year 3 (2007)
- This report describes the work done and results obtained in third year of the CATNETS project. Experiments carried out with the different configurations of the prototype are reported and simulation results are evaluated with the CATNETS metrics framework. The applicability of the Catallactic approach as market model for service and resource allocation in application layer networks is assessed based on the results and experience gained both from the prototype development and simulations.
- Simulator Development - Annual Report Year 3 (2007)
- This document describes the progress of the simulator development with in the third year of the CATNETS project. The refinement of the simulator as well as a detailed guide to conducting simulations is presented.
