VOTE: Star vs. Chopped Summer Salad Showdown
by Sara Levine in Recipes, Shows, June 16th, 2013We challenged two prestigious groups — Chopped judges and Food Network Star winners — to a summer recipe showdown. All season long, we'll present head-to-head matchups of mouthwatering summer recipes from each team — from refreshing cocktails to fresh farmers'-market salads to the juiciest backyard burgers. By voting each week here on FN Dish or on our Fan Feed, you'll determine the winning recipes.
At the end of the summer, the team that tallies up the most wins will celebrate with an all-star Labor Day party menu. Who will prevail as Summer Showdown champion — Star or Chopped?
This week, Season-6 Star winner Aarti Sequeira and Chopped judge Aarón Sánchez spice up summer's best produce in a pair of rival salads. Aarti puts an Indian spin on grilled corn, while Aarón takes fresh tomatoes and infuses them with Mexican flavors. Whose will be a must on your summer table? Cast your votes below!
Summer Salad Showdown: Aarón's Vine-Ripe Tomato Salad With Queso Fresco vs. Aarti's Indian Street Corn Salad
According to Aarti, "One of the most beloved street foods in India is also one of the simplest: corn on the cob, slow roasted over hot coals, over which you squeeze juicy lime wedges and sprinkle salt, cayenne pepper and whatever else the wallah has up his sleeve." Inspired by this favorite street snack, Aarti created a salad incorporating all of the flavors.
Aarón makes the most of sweet, juicy summer tomatoes in this fresh salad that gets a kick from serrano chiles and Mexican oregano (use regular if you can't find the Mexican variety!). Topped with crumbled queso fresco and drizzled with a simple vinaigrette, his impressive-looking dish takes just a few minutes to prepare.
Whose salad will you add to your summer spread?
For more favorite summer recipes, check out Food Network's Grilling Central. Head back here to FN Dish or check out our Fan Feed next week for a new Summer Showdown matchup!

Got to tell u, turn ur tv. off. We still love Triple D in the mountians of Southwest Virginia.
Don't tell me you have never made a comment that is derogatory about race or anything else!!!!!! You should be ashamed for taking Paula off your network!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the ones that are are prejudice!!!!!!!
I so agree–She is such an entertaining and jovial lady. And, not to mention an awesome celebrity cook!! Everyone of us is guilty of being a hypocrite in some way and has said something in their past that is considered offensive. I think the majority of the public is more mad at you Food Network, than Paula. Let her continue with her work at Food Network. And, that's okay if she endorses and gets paid for a drug that helps diabetics!! Lots of celebrities do the same thing. I don't see them getting kicked to the curb!!
Just because Paula and her family has owned over 50 slaves at their plantation is no reason to fire her right?
I am so disappointed in you Food Network. I watch your shows all the time, most of the time, it's a "Deen" show…..and now you have judged Paula for something that any person is guilty of at some point in their life, and now affected not only her, but hurt the millions of fans of her very deeply. You meant to hurt HER, but you have more so HURT ALL OF US!! Why are we being punished by your actions? Bring her back…..my tv will not be tuned into Food network due to her absence, and you will see the mistake you have made. You really made a very bad decision, in letting go of this great show.
Have you people not heard of Sticks and Stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me !!!! You guys are the worst for taking Paula Deen off the air….I say SO WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Food network folks are a bunch of pansies ! -
I love food network! Shame on Paula.Do you think it's ok to treat people like that . I will always be a big fan of food network !Paula should know the hell better.j

International engineer Web Structures has completed a complex three year project for holiday resort group Four Seasons at its luxury new development in Seychelles.
Web Structures' team of experts used its expertise on the island of Mahe, working to protect and preserve the fragile local environment.
The development is in a sensitive site at Petite Anse, stretching from a coral beach to tropical hillsides and rock outcrops.
Dr Hossein Rezai-Jorabi, Web Structures group director, said: "This has been a very challenging project for us. It is a very delicate site and our approach throughout has been one of sensitive care for the natural environment.
"We have also worked very closely with the local authorities in Seychelles throughout the project.
"Our aim throughout has been to minimise disturbance to the natural beauty and the ecological balance of the site and we believe we have achieved those aims."
The project included the creation of approximately 10km of access roads and tracks. Detailed analysis had to be carried out in order to minimise the "cut-and-fill" earthwork.
Work was carried out to ensure the development does not adversely affect the natural flow of rain waters down hill slopes.
An existing lake on site has been rejuvenated and used as a natural retention pond to retain and filter rainwater before the overflow is allowed to enter the ocean.
Individual structures have been painstakingly located and then adjusted at micro level to ensure existing rock outcrops and vegetation are least disturbed.
Web Structures is an internationally-acclaimed civil, structural and geotechnical engineering consultancy with offices in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, London and Shanghai. The practice is collaborating on developments with Foster & Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, Conran & Partners and Adjaye Associates.

@pastanaga - I wish there was an independent company that tested all these sorts of things scientifically and published them so everyone could see what these treatments actually do. Because I really think that it's all speculation until you get some hard scientific evidence.
Unfortunately, most of the time you either get anecdotal evidence or biased studies conducted by the company that's selling the cure, neither of which inspire me with confidence.

A group of homeless squatters living under a bridge in Baton Rouge were given one day to clear out Thursday morning.
The group feels they aren't bothering anyone and doesn't know why they can't stay under the North Boulevard Overpass near 17th Street.
"We're sleeping here under an overpass in the back corner of the city," said Gary Wordlaw, a homeless man who is legally blind. "No one can see us, but you can't keep sweeping the homeless problem under the ground either. We're here, we exist."
The St. Vincent de Paul shelter, only a block away, has opened its doors to the group. News 2 saw at least two of the squatters seeking shelter there.

Ethan grunted as he stood up and faced the pirates as they ran up to the group. Why was it that trouble seemed to strike whenever something went their way for once? "Why, what happened?" He suddenly stiffened, a thought occurred to him. "Did my-, did Kathrin escape?!" What else could have possibly happened? Hector and...the other pirate looked like they had been running for some time, there was no way that Salathra's other minions could be directly connected with this. The assassin knelt down to help the man to his feet. He had no love of the thugs, but there was no point in not showing any of them some common decency as long as they remained against Salathra's plague.
"By the gods, how long have the two of you been running?"
(blegh, sorry it's not the best this time )

More signs of a successful reconciliation — Rob jetted back to LA and Kristen Stewart on Mon., Oct. 8, from NYC. And according to a fan on the plane — he's even better in person!
After a few days flying solo in New York City, Robert Pattinson threw on his signature beanie and hopped a flight home to Los Angeles late on Oct. 8 to be back with Kristen Stewart. A fan snapped a photo of Rob at the airport, and shared on Instagram with the caption, "Robert Pattinson was on my flight, and yes he is even better looking in real life!"
The Twilight star spent a few days in NYC without K Stew, where he attended the IFC Film's dinner as a surprise guest with BFF Tom Sturridge.
He also partied with longtime friend and Tom's fiance Sienna Miller on Oct. 6 before her HBO movie The Girl premiered at the Hamptons Film Festival, and was spotted carving his name into a table on Wooster St. in SoHo on Oct. 5.
It sounds like Rob had a blast in the Big Apple! But with his reported on-again girlfriend Kristen Stewart notably absent, we're bet he's glad to be back home.
What do YOU think of Rob being back in LA HollywoodLifers?

Lame…. Trying to hold on to anything and everything as a reminder of Rob…. She should have thought about that when she left him to be with Rupert Sanders…. Don't buy it Rob. Move on and that this drama go, that's the only way you can free yourself of all the drama Kristen S. caused.
Posted at 9:00 AM on October 9, 2012
Kristen is bad in bed ,you see any of her kisses she cannot even open her mouth for a kiss . IN BD1 honeymoon scene just watch Kristen scratching Robs neck while love making she doesnt even know how to hold a man in a sensual manner .
look at her pictures with Rupert …she is just sitting there and letting him do everything to her . that is all she knows poor girl she does not know how to respond in bed or out of it .
she is pathetic and trashy . Rob is so well rid of this slut
Posted at 9:00 AM on October 9, 2012
Rob is a straight guy …just because you Krisbians now know he may not be taking her back you are coming with vague accusations …its really funny .!!
just two days back you were accusing Rob of cheating on Kristen before she cheated on him. you Krisbians have no credibility just like your Idol ., but what else can be expected from people who support a morally corrupt person .
Posted at 8:59 AM on October 9, 2012
Kristen never tell the truth and do you really think Kristen is telling the truth. Rob can not be that stupid to believe she didn't have s_x with Rupert. This affair started on the set of SWH and it doesn't take long to become involved. He even admitted that they rehersed late nights and stayed up just talking. Rob put two and two together and leave this girl behind. It can't be that good

I have a sweet tooth--always have. When I was young I would ask why we even needed dinner. Couldn't we just go straight to dessert? My husband surprised me once by making that a reality. He packed a basket full of pastries and champagne and swept me off to the beach for an unforgettable sunset meal. Unforgettable because I got very sick and quickly learned why we eat dinner first.

I thought we were bonded by our love of magazines... but now I read that you also suffer from a sweet-tooth! I can see that we are going to have so much in common! Yippee! I love finding other women who share my same traits!

Using SAS since 1986
Teaching SAS since 1988
A few of the courses I teach:
- Statistics 1
- Enterprise Guide - Basic Statistics
- Cluster Analysis
- Categorical Data Analysis Using Logistic Regression
- Survival Analysis Using the Proportional Hazards Model
- Multivariate Statistical Methods
- Poisson Regression
Languages spoken: English, German
What is your favorite SAS training course and why? Survival Analysis, because I had cancer and am still a censored observation.
What is the best part about teaching SAS? Learning, learning, learning. That means new methods, new knowledge from my colleagues and students, and getting to know lots of people and places.
Do you have any hobbies, favorite activities or hidden talents? At one time could juggles up to 4 objects, but these days only three. But, I can do it while wiggling my ears.
What is your favorite place or dream vacation destination? The California Redwoods, so far. I'd like to see Alaska at some point. I'll always have a place in my heart for Berlin.
What are your favorite apps (iPhone, iPad, etc.)? Maprika, NavFree, WatchESPN, CrossMe, Dolphin Browser, Settings
If you could share a meal with anyone dead or alive, who would it be and why? It would be all the people I love at the same table (hopefully for obvious reasons), but if it were someone I've not yet met, it would be Einstein, because I have a stuffed monkey named after him.
Do you have a favorite movie, book, artist, or musician? Not really, but I'm kind of amazed by Stevie Wonder, was moved by the movie My Life as a Dog (the Swedish language version dubbed in English), and identify with Five for Fighting's "The Riddle" and "100 Years."
Do you have a favorite memory of teaching a SAS class? Not really. I have a lot of great memories of classes where the students got to know each other and by the end of 3 days, everyone was kind of sad to leave, as if it were summer camp. Those are the best classes.
Are you passionate about a particular sports team? I try not to be, because they always let you down in the end and ruin your whole day. But, having three degrees from UNC Chapel Hill it's hard not to be affected by the Tarheels.
What are your favorite Web sites? CNNSI.com (Sports Illustrated), CNN.com, WRAL.com (local TV news channel Web site)
Recommended SAS resources:
What students are saying:
Marc Huber was great. Very respectful, knowledgeable, and likable. The best instructor I've had yet. He was able to explain all concepts clearly and concisely and encouraged class room discussion without letting it slowdown the course. Additionally, he understood the content of the course inside and out. You should give him a substantial raise.
Marc is an excellent teacher who spends time to answer questions and further explain subject matter when necessary and makes the course material interesting with personal stories and great communication.
I was very impressed with Marc. He was able to convey the information effectively and spent a lot of time addressing people's questions. I witnessed him spend 20 minutes after the class one day with another participant who was having difficulty with a particular concept. It was definitely above and beyond what most instructors would have done.

Thank you Dusty for capturing these moments...
Last week I worked from home on strict orders of bed rest from my midwife. After spending a scary day in the hospital I knew I would do whatever she said and I followed her orders exactly. It started two Saturdays ago... I had a bridal shower to go to for a dear friend. I headed into the city early because I wanted to get some present wrappings from Paper Source and I wanted to pop into Destination Maternity to grab a shirt to go with the skirt I was wearing. If you ever been in a DM, you'll know the staff is um, kind of aggressive. All I needed was a bigger tee- of course summer tees were no longer available... Needless to say, it became quite a production despite my best efforts and I soon became really overwhelmed. Following a particularly stressful week at work and with family stuff, I guess it was all just too much. I started having bad cramps in the dressing room and thought I might have partially broken my water- YIKES. Freaked out, I quickly put on my clothes and promptly left the sales associate standing there holding outfits and staring after me.
I called my bf Tessa and she said, "Lady, call your midwife!" (At this point, I have about 15 mins to get to the shower, which was approx. 30 mins away) I get it the car and call the midwife on speaker. I was expecting her to tell me to relax and try to take it easy for the rest of the day. Instead she suggested I meet her at the hospital. Whaaat? She said the cramping could be pre-labor contractions and they'd need to check if my water had indeed broken. I lost it. Called Dusty at work and told him to meet me there. Pulled over to google directions to the hospital- and cried.
I get to the hospital and it is the most confusing place I've been. I'm pretty sure I ended up parking in staff parking.. and then nothing was marked clearly. It hurt so badly to walk and it was nothing but hallway after hallway. I was barely holding in the tears as I clutched my lower belly and slowly made my way around. I asked two nurses for directions- they barely stopped to answer. ?!?! Finally I made it to labor and delivery- but all the rooms were full so they put me in a glorified closet. I waited there for 30 mins until Dusty got there. My midwife was finishing up a labor at the birth center so she wasn't there either. Finally a nurse hooks me up to the monitor and thankfully the baby sounds good. I have now started to have serious Braxton Hicks that seem to be coming one after the other.
They decide to give me fluids in case I'm dehydrated. The OB comes in to do an exam to see if I'm progressing. They finally gather up the necessary tools and she comes over with a bed pan and a flash light. I was like, "Will the exam make me pee?" She said, "No, but because this bed doesn't have stirrups we'll have to prop you up on it. "What's the flashlight for?" "Oh, we don't have an extra light." Christ, it's like a campground hospital. During the exam they perform an FFN test to check the probability of preterm labor. The OB determined I was 50% effaced but not dialated and that my water had not broken. But my contractions were now 4 mins apart.
There was talk of having to give the baby steroids to help her lungs develop- at 33 weeks she wasn't fully cooked. Dusty and I were scared. Were we going to have a baby today? We didn't even have a car seat yet! Finally, they decided to give me meds in the IV to stop the contractions. After 6 hours, they finally subsided to about 3-4 an hour. My midwife arrived and examined me again. Still not dilated and having passed the FFN, I was given the clearance to head home. But to rest. For a whole week.
It was pretty brutal and boring. I'm glad I got the clearance last Friday to return to work! I was starved for human interaction, lol. I will say that I'm glad Charlotte decided to stay in- this week I'll be 35 weeks, a week closer to being in the clear. And I definitely learned a lesson from the experience and have given myself a much-needed attitude adjustment. STOP STRESSING! DRINK WATER! AND THEN MORE WATER! I've been so stressed about work and having everything done through my leave, unpacking and setting up the house and trying to appease all the needs of friends and family. Whatever gets done, gets done, everything else will work out. We have something every single weekend from now until I'm due except for one. I realized that I just need to start saying NO. I can't do everything and it's not selfish of Dusty and I to want a little time together before we welcome baby, even if it is just a few days!
End rant. :)

A lesson in spending
What's the link between back-to-school and holiday shopping?
Bill GreinerRetailers have had quite a ride since last year's back-to-school season. With consumer confidence low, major department stores and luxury brands have suffered.
As we look to this year's holiday shopping season, it is important to further examine the correlation between back-to-school and holiday spending. Are there historical links between back-to-school and holiday spending?
The answer to the above question is "yes" -- there is a positive historical correlation between back-to-school and holiday spending patterns. From a historical perspective, back-to-school sales and holiday sales share a positive correlation of .76 (for clothing/accessory category) and .60 (for general merchandise).
Both of these measures show strong positive trends, with consumer behavior - be it good or bad - normally carrying over from back-to-school season to the holiday shopping season (data for periods 1992 - 2008).
If that has been the case, what did back-to-school sales trends look like this year? Sales were negative, an estimated 6.1% as compared to back-to-school sales from the previous year. This suggests that we should expect holiday retail sales to be negative this year as compared to 2008.
The First Six Months
While looking to the back-to-school season can be helpful, we have found that it is also important to look at the first six months of the year. For companies with seasonal sales patterns in the retail industry, the correlations between the sales performance during the first six months of the year to each of the back-to-school and holiday sales periods are not as strong.
The year-over-year sales performance over the first six months for those companies was down 6.45 percent, the biggest decline recorded over the last 17 years. Luckily, because the correlation is not as strong, and due to the timing of events in the financial markets over the last year, this holiday sales season may actually turn out better on a year-over-year basis than both the first six months of the year and back-to-school.
Final Word
Lastly, a word should be said about the "wealth effect" of a rising stock market. The stock market is obviously off its lows from earlier this year, and most investors are feeling better about their own financial well-being. This tends to positively effect consumer behavior overall. This trend, if left in-tact through the holiday spending season, may contribute positively towards consumer spending behavior this year.
It is our belief that the 2009 holiday shopping season will fare better than this year's back-to-school shopping season and even though the correlation between back-to-school and holiday sales is strong and suggests a decline in year-over-year sales, we expect that retailers will realize higher profitability this time around.
With the absence of a system on the brink of financial collapse and the anxiety that accompanies that time frame, consumers will have a stronger appetite for holiday shopping than last year, which should lead to a smaller sales decline than was experienced last year. The picture is not completely rosy for all retailers, as we do expect department stores and other high-end shops to suffer from the new frugality that has arisen in the last year.
Bottom line, we believe sales trends will be negative this year as compared to last year, but perhaps not as negative as the trends seen during the back-to-school season.

Eric James Stone's story, "Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made" (Analog, Sept. 2010) has been nominated for the 2010 Nebula Award for Best Novelette. This should be especially interesting for AML readers as the story is fully about Mormons and Mormonism. Stone said when it came out, "It's the seventh story I've sold to Analog, and it's the most Mormon (Mormonest?) story I've sold anywhere. The main character is a Mormon branch president who must deal with the consequences of having alien members of his congregation—specifically gigantic plasma beings living inside the sun—who are part of a culture with different laws and traditions. I've occasionally heard people say that Analog won't buy stories with religious themes (unless they're anti-religious), but that has not been my experience." It is a great story, I am excited by its nomination. You can read it in its entirety here.

New Books
Blackberry Crumble by Josi S. Kilpack Deseret Book. Fifth in her Sadie Hoffmiller Culinary Mystery series. In my informal survey of Mormon reviewers, Kilpack's two books in 2010 were the most respected LDS novels of the year.
Mark of Royalty by Jennifer K. Clark and Stephonie K. Williams. Covenant. Renaissance-era light romance, with a fairy-tale feel, no LDS content. The first-time authors are sisters. Their music video book trailer is quite the production.
The Wanderer by Anita Stansfield. Covenant. First in the Shadows of Brierly series. Romance, set in 19th century Scotland, includes Mormon missionaries. Stansfield produced four books a year from 2008 to 2010, so odds are that this is not the last we will hear from her this year.
The Assignment by Jean Holbrook Mathews. Covenant. Suspense. Third book by Matthews, who is a former member of the Missouri State House of Representatives. This one is about terrorism and kidnapping in the Philippines.
Formic Wars: Burning Earth, by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston. Marvel. Graphic novel, prequel to Ender's Game. First in a seven volume series.

@grumpyguppy: The price to have a professional treatment to whiten your teeth can vary depending on where you are and what method is used. It can range anywhere from $400 to $900. That can vary also with different dentists.
Many dentists feel as though their in-office bleaching jobs should be followed up with at-home whiteners. That would be an additional cost. Another thing that could affect the cost of the treatment would be whether or not the dentist uses an "activation" light or laser during the procedure.

Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. and Novozymes, the world's largest enzyme provider, are collaborating to co-develop customized plant varieties and enzyme cocktails for cellulosic biofuel production.
The companies expect to improve the biomass-to-fuel conversion process through more effective enzymes and higher-quality energy crops, leading to greater fuel yields and lower capital and operating costs, according to a Ceres press release.
"This is an example of how technology providers from different parts of the value chain are coming together to make cellulosic biofuel a commercial reality," says Cynthia Bryant, Novozymes global biomass business development manager. "Energy crops have an important role to play in the world's future sustainable energy mix. According to the Billion Ton Study by the U.S. Department of Energy, one third of the total sustainably collected biomass potential from agricultural resources can come from perennial crops."
Switchgrass, miscanthus and sorghum, high-yielding crops planted specifically for their energy content, thrive with less water and fertilizer than other crops. They often also grow on marginal lands where other crops cannot.
Ceres and Novozymes will initially work to determine the best enzyme cocktails for the biorefining of Ceres' commercial switchgrass seed products. The partners will also begin similar evaluations of sweet sorghum, and Ceres' researchers plan to develop customized plant varieties that can be degraded more easily by Novozymes' enzymes. Enzymes can convert the biomass from energy crops into sugar that can then be used to produce biofuel and other bio-products.

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing - Clean Piercing Picture
My attempt was to demonstrate my grasp of the human form, and to show skills in texturing and rendering. But as I went along I kept finding more techniques, processes, and programs that pushed this project forward and challenged me more and more. What started off as an anatomy study turned into a full on research project in all things involved with character creation.

No, iOS 8 Does Not Allow You To Charge Your Phone In The Microwave
Things you can put into the microwave and turn it on: Food, microwave safe dishes, objects that will not melt. Things you cannot put into a microwave and turn it on: Metal, plastic, and any kind of electrical object you could think of, including cell phones, smartphones and tablets. So no, there is no update with iOS 8 that allows iPhone users to recharge their batteries by microwaving their phones. Sigh. [More]
Watch A Dude Bend His iPhone 6 With His Bare Hands
Let us begin this post with the qualifying statement that it has never until today occurred to us to try to bend a cellphone, subsequently, we do not know how much bendy-type pressure one should expect to be able to apply on a phone without warping it. I probably could go downstairs to the labs and start bending Consumer Reports' test phones to establish a baseline, but I suspect they'd be sort of angry, and I really want them to like me. So, let it be known that we don't know if this video of a guy bending his phone on purpose represents evidence of an unacceptable performance from the phone. But it totally does bend. Yes, it does.

Some iPhone 6 Plus Users Saying Their Phones Bent While In Their Pockets
The release of the almost-a-tablet iPhone 6 Plus is presenting users with a tricky issue — how to carry the phone without damaging it. It's too big for many back pockets (where it stands the risk of being damaged anyway) and some claim that putting it in their front pocket has resulted in a bent device. [More]
Apple Sold More Than 10 Million New iPhones In Three Days
Have you heard of this iPhone thing? It's the sixth of its kind, and one of them is really big and apparently, people are buying them: Apple says that in the first three days the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were on sale, the company sold more than 10 million of the new devices. [More]
Some iOS 8 Privacy Settings You Might Want To Tweak
If you got a new iPhone today, or you're one of the many millions of people with older iPhones and iPads that have now been updated to iOS 8, here are some new privacy settings that you should probably check out sooner rather than later. [More]
Updating To iOS 8? Remember To Turn Off Your Bluetooth Afterward
In advance of the new iPhones coming out this week, Apple has begun rolling out iOS 8, the latest iteration of its operating system for iPhones and iPads. With some who've updated their devices already complaining about inefficient battery use, we wanted to remind you of a power-draining annoyance that occurs with every recent update of iOS. [More]

text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Between Heaven & Earth" first appeared in the December 2006 issue of Touchstone. Between Heaven & Earth Science and Belief in the Nuclear Age reviewed by Anne Barbeau Gardiner In this collection of 26 essays and reviews published mostly over the last six years in a range of popular and academic journals, Peter Hodgson, an eminent nuclear physicist at Oxford University, discusses in a clear, forceful style the connections between religion, philosophy, and science. The five sections of the book cover theology and science, the philosophy of science, modern physics, nuclear power, and science and society. The topics of the essays range from the Judeo-Christian origin of modern science, the "Mind" of the universe, and chance and time, to the thought of Christian humanists like Newman and Chesterton. Science, Hodgson notes, is based on the belief that the world is "good, rational, contingent, and open to the human mind," a belief rooted in Christianity and lacking in all ancient civilizations. Modern physics is even now "sustained" by these Christian roots. Although there is a "methodological gap" between science and religion—empirical research cannot produce ethical principles, much less explain why we and the universe exist—many scientists "regard their work as a religious quest." Indeed, that quest presupposes an ethics it cannot itself produce: It requires "open-mindedness, detachment, and respect for rational arguments, recognition of our fallibility, and intellectual honesty." The best scientists are realists, Hodgson insists, quoting Einstein in 1941: "The belief in an external world independent of the perceiving subject is the basis of all natural science." In a chapter on "Einstein's Religion," Hodgson explains that he regarded science and religion as "complementary," and while he was not affiliated with any organized religion, he recognized "a mind behind nature," though not a personal God. Realistic Relativity In an essay subtitled "The Abuse of Einstein's Theory," Hodgson explains that even the theory of relativity, often asserted against metaphysical realism, makes clear "the basic rationality and coherence of the physical world" and establishes "the objective and invariant features of the world," so that "absolute space and time remain at the basis of physics." Asked in 1935 what effect his theory would have on religion, Einstein replied, "It makes no difference." Hodgson also provides a highly readable account of the various interpretations of quantum mechanics, "a formal mathematical theory of great power and beauty" that has been used for 70 years with "outstanding success." Quantum mechanical calculations refer to the result of measuring a large number of systems as though existing in empty space. As Einstein warned, such calculations do not describe completely "each individual system," and only when this addition is made can one have a "fully realistic account of the world." But, Hodgson argues, according to the influential Copenhagen interpretation (derived from philosophical positivism in the 1920s), quantum mechanics deals not with the real world, but with the way we think about it. This school permitted only statistical statements and excluded "all reference to an underlying reality." Heisenberg even claimed that quantum mechanics had "disproved" causality and that reality could now be seen as the product of the "act of observation." While many physicists rejected this view, others, along with psychologists, educators, and even theologians, accepted it and made the Copenhagen school the basis of a new subjectivism. One theologian even said that quantum mechanics showed the "means" by which God might intervene, but Hodgson (a Catholic) finds this an "impoverished" view of God that requires him to change the course of events "by keeping within the limits of quantum indeterminacy." The Copenhagen school had a practical "debilitating effect" on science, as when Heisenberg refused to recommend funding a new accelerator to look for quarks. Hodgson notes that there are now available "realist theories" of quantum mechanics, such as the pilot wave theory and stochastic electrodynamics, and that a new microscopic kinetic theory deals with individual systems ignored by quantum mechanics. Incomplete Science Because of "the unity of knowledge," Newman was convinced that theology and science could not be kept in "watertight compartments," but that this was no threat to faith, since nothing discovered by science could "contradict any of the dogmas of religion." Consequently, he wanted several departments of science established in his model university in Ireland. With similar confidence, Chesterton did not oppose science, but merely what might be called "scientism," the naïve faith that only science can deliver valid knowledge. Chesterton lamented that "evolutionism" (a branch of scientism) was trying to abolish "the deepest kind of ontological form, which is the immortal human soul," while offering "no basis for the equality of man" or for "a respectable ethical system." In other chapters, Hodgson looks at the "congruence" of truth and beauty in the mathematical equations that describe nature at the "deepest level." He observes that physics presupposes the world to be "strictly determined," but this is an incomplete account of reality, since it excludes both divine intervention and free will. Science "deals only with repeatable events." It can say nothing about a unique event, like our Lord's Resurrection. Hodgson also touches on political matters, proposing, for example, an increased use of nuclear power on the grounds that it creates no acid rain or greenhouse effect and that the dangers from radiation are greatly exaggerated. Many believers have come to see science as "an enemy to be repulsed," since so many prominent exponents of science take a hostile attitude toward Christianity, and they argue that science itself has fatally undermined religion. This is unfortunate. For now that our culture gives science and scientists such authority, even in areas like ethics in which they have no special competence, it behooves Christians to be better informed about the connections between science and religion. However, they should read not just the accounts of atheists, but also those of believers like Pierre Duhem, Alistair Cameron Crombie, and Stanley Jaki, who have thoroughly explored the Christian roots of modern science from antiquity to the twentieth century— and, one might add, Peter Hodgson.

EUGENE, Ore. — Some local designers are gearing up for a fashion show, but they won't be stitching together new designs. They'll convert used clothing from St. Vincent De Paul into the latest runway fashions.
It's all part of the first ever Metamorphose Challenge. Designers shopped the racks of clothing at St. Vincent De Paul Monday for the clothing they'll use. Each designer could only spend up to $40 on the clothing.
"You know a lot of creativity comes out of having constraints. It's kind of both showing how designers can work with reused or recycled or upcycling is what it's called and what they can do within these constraints," said Mitra Chester, challenge organizer.
Models will walk the runway in these outfits on May 4th at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.

Lindsay reportedly tipped a cleaning lady — very handsomely — this weekend.
Lindsay Lohan may have stolen our attention with her sideboob at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on April 28 — but now she's stealing our hearts with news of a surprising good deed. Lindsay, 25, took pity on an elderly bathroom attendant, according to the New York Post's Cindy Adams, and even slipped the woman a $100 bill!
"You're too old to be doing this kind of work," Lindsay reportedly told the woman, whose name is Bianca.
Despite the woman's protesting, Lindsay reportedly insisted she keep the generous tip.
This sounds like a whole new side of Lindsay. And sideboob aside, she did look incredible at the White House.
Do you think Lindsay has officially turned over a new leaf?
