In this week's edition, learn about amphibious dinosaurs, frozen bison mummies, and hummingbird combat.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
While it is true that Goodwin and others believe that their discoveries pose a major challenge to neo-Darwinian orthodoxy, this does not cause them to abandon their belief that the history of life can be explained as the outcome of biological processes!
Geologist Keith Miller examines the "Cambrian Explosion", a period of rapid evolutionary diversification approximately 575 million years ago, and whether it poses a challenge to evolutionary theory. From the June 2014 issue of Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith from the American Scientific Affiliation.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
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.

MLC Guts One Out at Crown
ST. BONIFACIUS, Minn. - The men's basketball team survived a game a three-point shooting barrage to begin the second half to come away with an 84-79 win at Crown Friday night.
Several players made key plays for the Knights down the stretch, with Justin Danell (New Ulm, Minn./MVL) hitting two key three-pointers in the final three minutes, including one with just 52 seconds remaining that gave the Knights an 82-79 lead. Nathan Bauer (Lake Mills, Wis./Lakeside) also made several key shots down the stretch, while Jake Unke (New Ulm, Minn./MVL) helped ice the game with two free throws with 20 seconds remaining to push the MLC lead to the final five-point margin.
After the Knights took a 39-33 lead into the half, Crown stormed back with a 15-5 run to begin the second with the help of three baskets from downtown to take a 48-44 lead. Several minutes later, after the Storm had hit several more three-pointers, the Knights found themselves in a 58-50 hole with just under 12 minutes to play.
Undaunted, the Knights roared back with a 15-6 run, keyed by several big shots by Greg Holzhueter (Mankato, Minn./MVL) and several others, to take back the lead at 65-64 with 8:31 to play.
Over the final nine minutes, the lead changed hands seven times, with the score also being tied twice until Danell's final three-pointer finished off the Storm.
The Storm came after the Knights for much of the game from beyond the three-point line, making nine of their first 15 attempts from beyond the arc, but missed their final six attempts and finished 9-21 for the game. MLC also shot the ball well from distance, finishing 7-11 for the game.
MLC finished with five players in double figures, and all but one of the 12 players that played in the game for the Knights scored. Danell led the team with 12 points, while Josh Danell (New Ulm, Minn./MVL) and Bauer finished with 11 apiece. Holzhueter and Justin Eternick (Waterloo, Wis./Lakeside) had ten apiece, with Holzhueter also adding seven rebounds and six assists.
With the win, MLC improved to 5-13 overall and 2-7 in the UMAC, while Crown dropped to 3-16 on the season and 3-6 in league action.
The Knights will return to action on Friday, February 12, when they host UM-Morris. The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.[BOX SCORE]

Digital Textbooks | News
A company that sets up online bookstores for schools is teaming up with another company that develops content-related educational technology to deliver digital textbooks on multiple platforms to 200 private high schools. ClassBook.com is working with Kno, which only recently entered the K-12 segment with its multi-device textbook platform; previously, the latter company served higher education customers exclusively.
ClassBook.com creates customizable, personalized online bookstores for its school customers. The company has a large inventory of printed textbooks. In the newest agreement it will add digital editions of books to its online inventory.
Kno rents access to 200,000 K-12 and higher education e-textbooks from 65 publishers. Its texts are available for the iPad, Android, Windows 7, and the Web.
South Kent High School in Connecticut was one of the early adopters of the new offering. In fall 2011, following a pilot program, every student and faculty member received an iPad 2. Now 92 percent of students use e-textbooks on those devices. Previously, the private boys school used textbooks converted by Inkling for the iPad, iPhone, and Web and sold through Classbook.com. The deal with Kno ensures that other types of devices are supported too.
"With Kno, we take a big step in v2.0 of our technology solution at South Kent," said CIO Gonzalo Garcia-Pedroso. "Kno's digital solution allows us to scale and adapt rapidly as learning environments continue to evolve. We're excited for our faculty and students to use Kno."

($56; the Colla estate owns about 80% of this cru) Good full red. Musky, high-toned, slightly funky aromas of raspberry, flowers and peppermint. Sweet and supple, with moderately complex, somewhat medicinal red cherry flavor. Finishes with toothcoating tannins that turned increasingly dry as the wine opened in the glass.
($62) Medium red. Red cherry, raspberry, menthol and red licorice on the nose. Fuller and sweeter than the 2001 Barbaresco, with flavors of red cherry and licorice.

New look Oilers blank Thunder
Hockey: Okotoks dominant in 4-0 shutout of Drayton Valley
By: Remy Greer
| Posted: Wednesday, Jan 15, 2014 06:00 am
Ugly wins count just the same as works of art in the standings.
The Okotoks Jr. A Oilers earned their first win of the new year on home ice and first shutout of the season in blanking the Drayton Valley Thunder 4-0, Saturday night at Pason Centennial Arena.
"There were some good signs and offensively we generated some good (chances), but we kind of looked like we were a new group out there," said Oilers head coach James Poole. "We messed around with some combinations and I thought we looked out of sorts at times and a little bit scrambly.
"It was a bit of an ugly hockey game, but good to get the win and it's nice to have a full week of practice to get everyone on the same page."
With trade deadline acquisitions Derek Thorogood and Stefan Burzan making their Oilers debut on Saturday, it was a familiar face to Okotoks fans at the centre of the attack.
Winger Ty Clay scored twice in three minutes to stake the hosts to an early 2-0 lead on a Drayton Valley team on something of a roll as winners of four of six entering the contest.
"It was just a shot from the point and I had about three or four whacks at it," said Clay of his first-goal, snapping a five-game scoreless streak. "It went into his pad a couple times and I finally got lucky and it went in."
The hard-nosed forward doubled his money shortly thereafter when linemate Rhett Gardner served up a tasty dish for Clay to tap-in past outstretched Thunder netminder Marc Olivier Daigle. The Oilers took firm control of the contest with a pair of tallies in the first four minutes of the middle frame. Captain Robbie Fisher collected a loose puck on a turnover at centre ice and streaked in on the right wing before finding the back of the net for his 12th goal of the season.
John Edwardh would then add his team leading 21st marker, to bookend a three-goal game from the Oilers' line of Edwardh, Gardner and Clay.
"We stuck to what we're good at, we got it out of our zone, worked hard and cycled it down low," said Clay on the line's dominance. "That's what we feed off as a line."
Okotoks netminder Jared D'Amico turned aside 29 shots, including 14 in a busy third period, to post the Oilers' first shutout of the season behind a strong defensive effort from the hosts.
"Basically it was just keeping it simple and getting that puck out off the glass, get it out of the house, out of the middle," said Oilers defenceman Drew Weich.
"To play safe and not make too many mistakes."
Pack the Rink
The Oilers' annual pack the rink night is Jan. 18 when the first-place Brooks Bandits mosey on down to Pason Centennial Arena. On Friday, the Oilers play host to the surging Camrose Kodiaks, who sit just three points back of Okotoks in the crowded South Division standings. Both games are 7 p.m. puck-drops.
"Those are my favourite games. I know everyone gets up to play Camrose with all the trades that have happened," Weich said. "Everyone gets up for Brooks, especially with that series we had last year. We want to beat them.
"We've beat them four times already (this season) and we want to make it a fifth time."
The second-year blueliner fondly remembers the packed house at Pason during last year's unforgettable seven-game series in the South final with the Bandits.
"It's huge. You feed off the energy and even if you're down a goal the crowd is still going," Weich said. "It will be like a playoff series. We need the crowd going for that night. It's going to be a big game."

Although known as DroST IIa ships, the term "DroST" is actually a designation, rather than a name; short for Drop Ship-Tank, the DroST class of ships was an evolving line of DropShips that was manufactured by the Terran Hegemony from the early 25th century through to the end of the Reunification War, although other nations would continue to produce their own equivalents.[2]
The origins of the DroST class began with Director-General James McKenna's campaign to expand the holdings of his newly formed Terran Hegemony from the ashes of the former Terran Alliance. McKenna began a military campaign in the early 24th century that aggressively incorporated scores of worlds into the Hegemony, and in the process highlighted the need for fleets of small craft and DropShips to carry and deploy the Hegemony Armed Forces troops. The Hegemony commissioned dozens of different designs, but many of these early designs could rarely be used for more than a handful of landings before the stress of rapid atmospheric insertions and high-speed landings combined with combat damage rendered them unserviceable. The HAF highlighted the need for more durable transports as the Age of War brought rapid advances in military technology, actively seeking military transport craft that could survive decades of service and numerous combat operations. The DroST-class was the answer to that requirement.[2]
The DroST IIa was the last in a series of vessels with the DroST designation, the final evolution of the popular DroST I design; for ease of pilot handling and loading/off-loading operations the DroST IIa utilised an aerodyne configuration with large roll-on/roll-off ramps and bay doors fore and aft that enabled each vessel to transport either two companies of heavy armor, a battalion of light armor or 2,200 metric tons of cargo as well as crew, supplies and support personnel. The aerodyne shape of the DroST IIa aided ease of piloting, although the engine configuration on the DroST IIa was highly unusual for the period; the DroST IIa features two large combination drives mounted outboard, each of which can rotate through 90 degrees depending on whether the ship is maneuvering tactically or accelerating for transit in-system. This engine configuration did bring some problems, with the first of the original DroST II class vessels suffering numerous problems with their engines; this led directly to the introduction of the IIa class to correct these flaws.[2]
Whilst the DroST IIa had a large amount of cargo space, the internal configuration of the DroST IIa had it's problems; the cargo bay consisted of two decks, one above the other, but deploying the loading ramps for the upper deck cut off access to the lower deck. There was also no easy way to move cargo between decks without opening the bay doors, and whilst the DroST IIa was designed to carry armored vehicles there were no vehicle service bays on board; this spartan design carried across to the accommodation, with the quarters for the mechanics, vehicle crews and infantry being little more than bunk cubicles packed tightly into the sides of the cargo bays and no dedicated recreation, mess or common areas other than whatever space the personnel could clear within the bay itself. The crew of the DroST and any embarked passengers occupied two seperate decks located above the cargo bays.[2]
The Hegemony stopped manufacturing the DroST IIa-class after the Reunification War, preferring to commission dedicated 'Mech and vehicle carrying craft instead, but by that time the Hegemony had already produced thousands of these ships; each was designed to have a 20-year life in military service before being sold on to the civilian market, as it was more palatably economically and politically to continually commission new ships rather than overhaul existing vessels. The DroST IIa was resilient and well-armoured, two characteristics that let it serve for centuries under the ministrations of a competent civilian crew, and a handful of Hegemony DroST IIas still plied the shipping lanes after the Succession Wars, along with innumerable clones of the centuries-old design.[2]
Armament & Capacities[edit]
The DroST IIa-class of DropShips mounted a medium laser in every arc except the nose; backing these short-range weapons up were a large laser and an AC/5 mounted in the nose and left and right wings. 3 tons of ammunition supplied the AC/5s, while 33.5 tons of standard armour protected the ship during combat operations. Each DroST-IIa carried two Life Boats and an Escape Pod.[3]
- Bay 1 - Small Craft (2) - 2 doors
- Bay 2 - Cargo (1,000 tons) and Infantry (5 platoons) - 3 doors
- Bay 3 - Cargo (1,211 tons) and Infantry (5 platoons) - 3 doors
- DroST I
- The original DroST design.

The Bamboo Forest
While exploring Kyoto, I eventually found my way to this fanciful bamboo forest. There had been a light rain most of the morning and everything was quite lovely. The rain does strange things as it moves its way through these sorts of trees. I waited and waited, and that was nice too. In the early afternoon, the rain stopped while the sun peeked through the top. It shone down while the earlier rain misted down from the tops of the trees.

Since its inception in 2001, the Zumba® program has grown to become the world's largest dance-fitness program with over 12 million people taking weekly Zumba® classes around the world. That said, Zumba® doesn't appear to be a one-time wonder. It has given a total body makeover to traditional aerobics, infusing it with spice, attitude and addictive latin beats. Class are exhilarating, fat-burning dance attacks – Zumba® is considered exercise in disguise, with a typical class burning between 500 and 1000 calories. People love Zumba® classes, however, because they don't feel like workouts. We agree – going to the gym should not be a grind. Join the Zumba® party.
Don't worry if you haven't danced in years (or at all for that matter). Zumba® was designed to get everyone on the floor. After a quick warm-up, you'll feel the rhythm in a song or two. We have twin projector screens which enable our participants to really see what our instructors are doing on stage. Wear comfortable clothing that you can move in and athletic shoes that don't have too much grip (a bigger tread can sometimes make it difficult to pivot or turn quickly). Keep moving and breathing, and before you know it, you'll know the difference between cumbia and merengue.
The History
Zumba® is a Latin-inspired dance fitness program created by dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez in Colombia during the 1990s. One day, Perez forgot his tape of aerobics music for a class he was teaching. He took the tapes available in his car—consisting of traditional Latin salsa and merengue music—and improvised a class using these non-traditional tunes. The class was a massive success. In the years following, Peres took the class to the United States and, in 2001, created Zumba® Fitness.

EMP Sky Church in Seattle, WA unveiled its new dazzling LED display to showcase "Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses," a candid retrospective of the grunge luminairies' musical history. Taking center stage was a Barco curved 60' x 33' C7 LED display, the first installation of the new product sure to set the scene for many indoor high-profile events in the coming years.
EMP selected Barco's C7 black package LED for its HD+ resolution, amazing black levels, ultra high contrast, industrial design and affordability, creating a stunning display to "wow" museum guests and private event customers with their rich mix of content. Despite containing more than six times the number of LED's as the previous LED display, Barco's C7 uses less power, which minimized the need for additional electrical or HVAC upgrades.

Highlights of a GAO Forum:
The Long-Term Fiscal Challenge
GAO-05-282SP: Published: Feb 1, 2005. Publicly Released: Feb 1, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9142
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Research on public opinion shows that while the public is aware of the Federal Government's long-term fiscal challenge, it does not have a good handle on the size and implications of this challenge. In addition, the public consistently ranks our long-term fiscal challenge as low priority relative to other issues, such as the current state of the economy. This gap in public understanding of the nature and magnitude of the long-term fiscal challenge--and how to bridge it--was the subject of GAO's December 2, 2004, forum on the long-term fiscal challenge. The forum sought to move beyond "the usual suspects" to expand the circle of concern. The forum sought to create a space within which a rich and meaningful dialogue could take place on how to better communicate the long-term fiscal challenge to the public. To achieve this kind of dialogue, participants were a select group of individuals drawn not only from budget and policy experts but also from other key groups both in Washington and from "beyond the Beltway." These included opinion leaders from a variety of sectors. All brought a commitment to thinking ahead and an eagerness to move beyond defining and measuring "the problem" to discussing how to broaden understanding and dialogue so that action will be both more immediate and more informed. In particular, the forum sought to identify some possible approaches and strategies that could help elevate the public's understanding of the long-term fiscal challenge. Forum discussions focused in particular on the roles that media, educators, and leaders elsewhere in society will need to play. In so doing, participants expressed their views on the possible causes of current gaps in public understanding of the long-term fiscal challenge. Participants also made numerous suggestions for what types of approaches and actions might be effective in bridging the gaps. This report summarizes the ideas and themes surfaced at the forum and the collective discussion of the forum participants as well as subsequent comments received from participants based on a draft of this report. Convening this forum is but one small step toward elevating public understanding of the challenge and acceptance of the need for change. Ultimately it will take the combined efforts of many individuals and groups over an extended period of time to successfully address the issues. The forum provided a venue for people concerned with the long-term fiscal challenge to talk with each other about their common interest in public dialogue on the issue. One immediate result of the forum has been that groups of participants have gotten together. These collaborations have the potential to leverage the efforts of its individual members in order to increase the likelihood of action on this important issue.

I still can't believe that Matt nominated Kathy and Andrew. It would have made a lot of sense to nominate Rachel and Brendan that way even if one of them won the POV only one could be saved and the other might go home. What's done is done though.
I'd like Kathy to stay although I don't dislike Andrew. I REALLY want Meow-Meow to go and knew when a North Jersey guy was cast that it just wouldn't be good. I did hope for a good guy though, sigh.
I REALLY miss the food competitions!! Why not still have them to make the have-not's and then America could still vote on an additional item to have on the menu other than slop.

Ok...that show was OMG borining!!!
The best part was Lane and Brit making up conver for R/B!
I was mad as out get out that Matt didn't put up R/B and went after a "floater" Kathy and using Andrew as the pawn! DUMB!
Plus they didn't show any of his talking about why he wanted Kathy out or why the group didn't get their way.
OMG Matt's wife's letter....I think he told her 'before' he was going to do this sick thing and that is why her letter worked that way. I soo WISHED that Andrew didn't believe it! OMG no way!
Now I do agree that at the end Kathy wouldn't vote for Matt I think...but him saying she was coming after him, then she was out! OMG thats lame!!
Now the Hayden and Kristen is soo funny!! how can others not "see" it, they are making out!
Oh....the andrew thing! LOL! I hate to tell R/B...your in the BB house there is NO ALONE TIME! LOL! Good for him, give them heck Andrew!!
|Mon, 07-26-2010 - 9:17am
Ugh. Mensa Matt's nominations make zero sense. Ronnie has to be laughing hysterically at this season's "diabolical evil genius."
If his wife was in on the lie (hopefully, she's not), then I think that says a lot about the two of them. I don't get the live feeds or BBAD, so I don't know for sure but it looked like the Brigade was totally taken by surprise by these nominations.

ITA with what you wrote, Meme!
It cracked me up when they were all talking about H & K being related and then cut to them making out, lol!
How can none of the other HGs know that those 4 have an alliance when they hang together all the time? When Hayden had it, they were all in there and now that Matt has it, those 4 are all in there together. Maybe it's the editing but it sure seems obvious to me.
Andrew made me laugh!
|Mon, 07-26-2010 - 12:17pm
I laughed at the role playing too. but, i thought they could have made it funnier, but they would have had to be really snarky. lol. and lane confessing he makes up conversation for his cows. too funny!!
sucked that matt was so cocky about his ability to win hoh, and then did. ugh. i hope someone is able to knock him down a peg or three. is he in mensa, or just thinks he is a genius??
I was stunned andrew believed his stupid story. I think andrew is a good guy, and he thinks matt is too. he is going to be hurt when the truth of this comes out. i am getting to really hate matt. oh, and the ronnie reference...too funny.

Neighbors in Riverside Cleanup After Storms
RIVERSIDE -- Neighbors are picking up the pieces Tuesday night after storms rolled through the area, knocking out power to thousands of DP&L customers.
You can hear the birds singing and the sun shining Tuesday afternoon, which makes it seem like things are back to normal, but not quite.
"I heard a boom," said Omar Holloway.
"I heard it like fall and it was really, really loud," said Jeremy Holloway.
"From an angle it looked like it had landed on the house," said Jakob Reed.
The boys heard this massive tree fall in the front yard of their grandparents' house.
"We were really like kind of scared because we thought it could have hit the house if it was a lot bigger," said Jeremy.
Luckily, it didn't, and no one was hurt.
But the sound of birds singing, was soon covered up by a chainsaw.
"It was like a straight-line wind, worst one I've seen," Jerry Hughes.
Hughes watched the storm from his front porch, and says it was the worst wind he's seen in the 18 years he's lived there.
"That had to be going about 80. Everything was blowing you couldn't see nothing at all," said Hughes.
His neighborhood was full of trucks and busy with people cleaning up.
"Usually get a few branches broken out but not whole trees," Hughes said.
"Just tremendous, tremendous amount of tree damage." said Bruce Coppock, Director of Operations at DP&L.
The extensive damage had kept 600 d-p-and-l crews busy overnight and throughout the day.
"For a cell in this contained area. which we don't see very often, it really is a tremendous amount of damage," said Coppock.
Crews will continue to work, even through more dangerous storms that could hit the Miami Valley.
"If mother nature throws us another curve ball, we'll be right here, safely quickly restoring power to everybody throughout the Miami Valley," said Coppock.

Freshman Lee, UCLA earn Betsy Rawls victories
Freshman Alison Lee earned her first college victory, leading the UCLA women's team to an six-shot team victory Tuesday at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational.
Lee, Golfweek's top-ranked freshman entering the season, shot rounds of 69-68-67 to finish with a 12-under 204 total and win by four shots over fellow UCLA freshman Bronte Law and UNLV's Dana Finkelstein at the University of Texas Golf Club in Austin.
The Bruins, No. 1 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, led by three shots over Arizona State through 36 holes, but shot a 13-under 275 in the final round for a 22-under 842 total. Arizona State shot 6-under 282 Tuesday and finished second at 16-under 848, followed by Miami (Fla.) at 859 and Iowa State at 862.
Lee finished second to teammate Lee at the Mason Rudolph Championship in her college debut last month. The Bruins also won that event, making them 2-for-2 this fall.

impressive collection prompted ChristianityToday.com to call him one of
"Christian music's best kept secrets." His Acoustic Storytime album
captured the stories and songs that have made him such a popular live act and
2009's Everything Sad is Coming Untrue helped Jason gain momentum at
Christian radio. Jason is from Minnesota. He and his wife now live near the Twin Cities area.

Writes Gary North: "Brad Edmonds writes: 'Study the history of beer yourself – you'll know more about economics, history, and even your own family, and you'll live better as a result.'
"He is even closer to the truth than he thinks.
"I studied economic history with Herbert Heaton in 1966. He was an old man by the time he taught me in grad school — probably in his eighties. He was still sharp as a tack. If Arnold Toynbee (the uncle) is the founder of modern economic history, then Heaton was one of the second-generation pioneers.
"He told us of his experience in the British museum after WWII. He would go to the card catalogue, jot down archived papers he wanted to read, and take this to the desk. Again and again, the reply was: "No longer available."
"A Nazi bomb in 1940 had hit the archives section. It destroyed centuries of documentation.
"It turned out that some brewries along the Themes had escaped. So, he went to them to see if he could get access to archives. No one had ever asked. He was allowed to go through the files. Here, he found prices for the grains used in beer production. They provided his continuous series of prices in the late 18th century through the early Industrial Revolution."6:55 pm on January 9, 2006 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

New York's 425 Park Avenue is about to undergo a dramatic facelift, thanks to an international competition victory by London-based Foster + Partners. The original Kahn & Jacobs building occupying the site will be replaced by a three-tiered office tower featuring column-free work spaces. Norman Foster, Hon. FAIA, is expected to present the conceptual design for the new tower for L&L Holding Co. and Lehman Brothers Holdings at the third annual Summit for New York City, to be held by the Municipal Arts Society on Oct. 19.
According to his firm's press release, Foster can relate to the site because of time spent in New York during his youth: "I have a personal connection with New York, which has been a source of inspiration since my time at Yale, when the new towers on Park Avenue and its neighborhoods were a magnet for every young architect. Seeing first-hand the works of Mies van der Rohe, Gordon Bunshaft, Eero Saarinen and Philip Johnson was tremendously exciting then – I am delighted to have this very special opportunity to design a contemporary tower to stand alongside them."
Construction is set to begin in 2015 and is expected to be completed in 2017.

Authorities search for missing aircraft
Updated On: Jan 31 2014 08:36:29 PM CST
Searchers are trying to find a missing Arkansas Forestry Commission pilot and airplane that failed to check in while patrolling the western part of the state.
Forestry Commission spokeswoman Adriane Barnes says the pilot was searching for wildfires when he failed to check in as scheduled Friday. Barnes says the pilot had taken off after noon and had checked in every 30 minutes as normal, but was last heard from at 1:11 p.m.
She said the Forestry Commission, U.S. Forest Service and local law enforcement are searching for the pilot and plane.
Helicopters from the Arkansas State Police and Arkansas National Guard will provide night vision capability to complement search efforts overnight. Ground crews will begin at daylight.
Barnes said the commission has been making daily flights in search of wildfires because of the high fire danger across Arkansas.
Barnes wouldn't disclose the pilot's name or where the aircraft took off.

I can't believe this is my first craft post of 2012. Then again, it hasn't been a big crafting year with Sam and a PhD to keep me busy. This scarf was actually knitted last year as a Christmas present for my dad. The pattern is called 'manly scarf,' but I think it could be worn by both men and women. I knitted it with a small needle size so the scarf ended up using a lot more wool than I thought it would (four balls). I say this because I managed to buy some of the wool on sale, but when I ran out I had to pay full price. So if you want to knit the scarf, get four balls up front. The scarf needed some blocking at the end to make it symmetrical and flat, but that quite an interesting process. The pattern is a simple two row repeat, and free from Shifting Stitches.
My second project is a fabric basket for Sam's toys. I made it during May, 2012. Unfortunately the photograph doesn't show the linen base (the same fabric as the handles), which I think is the best part. The pattern comes from Pink Penguin, although for my basket I scaled it up by 250% as I needed it to be large. If I was going to make this basket for myself or as a gift, I'd skip the patchwork (it was fiddly and time consuming), and just use a patterned fabric. The look would be a little more sophisticated.

Breathes there a man or woman of a certain age who hasn't at one time or another succumbed to the nostalgic charms of this classic American show, whose spirit remains as sunny and open as the meadows of Oklahoma? It's packed with a sweet story and a wagonload of optimism. What's not to like?
And how about that hit parade of endearing and enduring songs? The Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that gave us "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "People Will Say We're in Love" and the rousing title tune launched the long-running collaboration of composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II in high style.
"Oklahoma!" may pile the corn as high as an elephant's eye, the show may creak a bit, but entire generations have taken it to their hearts, as do plenty of folks today.
It seems only fitting that Lyric Opera should begin its multiyear American musical theater initiative with the show that 70 years ago ushered in the golden age of American musicals.
Preceded by one of the biggest publicity pushes Lyric has ever given any opera it has mounted, "Oklahoma!" will clip-clop into the Civic Opera House on Saturday night for the first of 16 performances. The new production is staged by veteran Chicago director Gary Griffin, with Broadway favorites John Cudia and Ashley Brown (who sang Magnolia in Lyric's "Show Boat" last season) as the wholesome romantic leads, Curly and Laurey.
For good, authentic measure, the show will employ the original Robert Russell Bennett orchestrations and the original Agnes de Mille choreography, the latter re-created for this new staging by renowned choreographer Gemze de Lappe, de Mille's longtime associate, who danced the role of the "dream Laurey" in the 1943 national company of "Oklahoma!"
A new electronic amplification system created by sound designer Mark Grey will project the spoken dialogue more evenly throughout the 3,600-seat theater than was the case with "Show Boat," says Lyric general director Anthony Freud.
More important, "Oklahoma!" will launch a major cycle of classic Rodgers and Hammerstein shows to be given over five years under Lyric's aegis. Next on the docket is "The Sound of Music" in 2014, followed by "Carousel" in 2015, "The King and I" in 2016 and "South Pacific" in 2017.
Focusing on the "big five" Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals out of the starting gate struck Freud as a better way to go than cherry-picking the vast American musical theater repertory, he says.
"It was very much my view to start with a series of Rodgers and Hammerstein shows that would have an artistic coherence and, hopefully, integrity that would be a reflection of how seriously we at Lyric are taking this commitment," Freud says.
So what exactly makes "Oklahoma!" the indestructible cultural landmark it has turned out to be?
While the 1927 "Show Boat," with Hammerstein's book and lyrics and Jerome Kern's music, removed the Broadway musical from its vaudevillian song-and-dance roots, "Oklahoma!" transformed the American musical through its innovative integration of song, story, dialogue and dance.
Appearing as it did in 1943, not long after the nation had emerged from the Depression and was embroiled in World War II, "Oklahoma!" spoke to a collective need to escape to simpler times and simpler, more rural values. A nostalgic, feel-good romance set in the turn-of-the-century West was "a great uplifting of the spirit" for audiences of the time, says de Lappe.
Everything from the string of Rogers and Hammerstein shows that followed, to "My Fair Lady," "West Side Story" and the concept musicals of Stephen Sondheim, owes "Oklahoma!" an enormous debt. No wonder the show is in perpetual revival. No wonder it has survived countless amateur and high school productions, virtues intact.
One man who needs no convincing whatsoever as to its towering merits is Gary Griffin.
"To me, 'Oklahoma!' is not dated at all," declares Griffin, who is associate artistic director of Chicago Shakespeare Theater. "The show speaks to the way we live now. The individual and collective wish for people to make something better of themselves is reflected strongly in this work."
As librettist and lyricist, Hammerstein wanted the world of "Oklahoma!" to evoke a strong sense of community, Griffin explains. The show's farmers and cowmen must adjust to life in a brave new world and learn to live together, to prove themselves worthy of the land to which they belong. A striving for common purpose is applicable to today's society, the director maintains.
"One of the things that's challenging about America today is that we have this two-party system that reflects different visions of how to live," Griffin says. "What 'Oklahoma!' says is they are vital together. The show is all about how we as Americans should coexist. We are better as a big idea."
The fact that Lyric is using the original Bennett orchestrations, assembled with help from the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization and members of the Rodgers and Hammerstein families, is a luxury indeed, says the show's conductor, James Lowe.

We will also work hard to find scientific reasons for what you are experiencing. If what you are dealing with is paranormal, we will work to provide you with solid and credible evidence. We will also assist in any services you may need to deal with the activity in a positive manner.
While searching through a practically infinite number of paranormal groups, you begin to think each one is just "another" paranormal group. And though many groups have fancy and well known names, we are more than a name. We concentrate on providing a credible and thorough investigation for anyone requesting our services. We honor your privacy, and care about your concerns. So though our name may state that we are, "Another Paranormal Society," we can assure you we are like no other.

SurfShelf: From Treadmill to Treadputer in $40
One of the most frequent problems that plagues heavy computer users like office dwellers and bloggers is that time spent in front of the computer is for the most part motionless. One solution to the problem of stationary computing is to combine a treadmill and a notebook to make what is commonly referred to as a treadputer.
Treadputers aren't new but up until now if you wanted to be able to work while you work out you had to fit a treadmill around a desk, break out brackets and shop skills or attempt a dangerous balancing act but no more. Now, thanks to the SurfShelf Treadmill Stand for Laptops $40 will transform any treadmill into a treadputer.
Gizmodo put the SurfShelf to the test on an actual treadmill and called it "Brilliant". In use they found that the SurfShelf, which can hold up to 55 pounds, provided a "straightforward" and "stable" means of treadputing.
After reading the review and checking out the images of the SurfShelf in use it's easy to understand why Gizmodo loves it. I really like the idea that you can add and remove the SurfShelf easily to an existing treadmill which is great for those of us who share a treadmill with a spouse or other apartment dwellers. While I'd likely garner some odd looks if I lugged this over to the fitness center at our apartment complex, being able to write and burn calories at the same time would be incredible.
Whether your tweeting, blogging, working or just catching up on Lost reruns via Hulu the SurfShelf looks like a convenient and cheap way to get in shape while doing it.

You actually make it seem so easy together with your presentation but I to find this matter to be really something which I believe I'd never understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely broad for me. I'm taking a look forward on your next publish, I will attempt to get the hold of it!
