WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. builders barely increased their spending on construction projects in March after two straight months of declines. A pickup in single-family home construction and commercial projects offset a steep drop in state and local government building.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average U.S. rates for 30-year and 15-year fixed mortgages fell to fresh record lows this week, offering more incentive for Americans to buy or refinance homes.
Q: I want to lend my daughter and son-in-law money by making a $200,000 mortgage loan to them. How do I do this to make it legal, so I can pay taxes on the income and they can get a tax deduction on the interest and I can earn more than I would on a bank CD?
DEAR BENNY: My cousin and disabled elderly aunt are living in a house that my aunt sold about four years ago in which the agreement included lifetime living rights without the stipulation of rent payment or payment for taxes. Does the owner have the right to demand rental payments now? Is there a website that I might be able to check to find out more information for them? --Patti
With temperatures on the rise, it's time to get outside to relax with family and friends. Today's homeowners want their outdoor spaces to be an extension of their homes, with 80 percent saying a patio or front porch are "must haves," according to a survey of residential architects by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
It was one of those conversations that tend to stick with you.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sales of new homes fell in March by the largest amount in more than a year, indicating that the U.S. housing market remains under strain despite some modest signs of improvement.
WASHINGTON (AP) - An index that tracks the number of signed contracts to buy U.S. homes rose to its highest level in nearly two years last month, the latest sign the battered housing market is slowly improving.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage has dipped to near its record low, keeping home-buying and refinancing affordable.
What starts out as a fun summer evening with a few friends can quickly become a reminder that not paying attention while grilling can be dangerous.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Rising foreclosures are weighing on the U.S. housing market, reducing prices and keeping new-home sales weak.
Gee, it has been a while since we had a week like this on the economic front. With the exception of mortgage rates declining slightly, and the retail sales report coming in better than expected, the bulk of the economic data and market news this week has been pretty disconcerting.
DEAR BENNY: My mother has a reverse mortgage on her home, taken out after my father died when as the survivor her name alone was on the title. The usual terms of the reverse mortgage apply, including the acceleration clause upon death or removal from the home.
If you added a pool to your home in the past few years, or moved into a house with an existing pool, you may wonder what more you can do to enhance the value and enjoyment your pool brings to your home and family. You may even think there's not much you can do beyond keeping it clean and well maintained.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates fell this week, resuming their downward trend of this year after rising slightly last week. Rates are near historically low levels.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A judge has dismissed a California real estate broker's lawsuit over a Nebraska law requiring licensing to market Nebraska homes online.
With Phase I 90% sold out, Van Daele Homes has released Phase II at their Waterpointe community at River Island in Lathrop.
Low- and no-maintenance features top the list when making over outdoor living spaces because less time maintaining means more time enjoying.
Bathroom remodels are one of the most popular home improvement projects and they provide impressive return on investment. While plenty of focus goes into selecting the perfect tile or ideal shower surround, there's one critical area that too often is overlooked: the lighting.
The heat is definitely on this winter. With winter storms hitting many parts of the country early in the season, furnaces are plugging away, causing rising heating bills. Space heating is the largest energy expense in the average U.S. home, accounting for 45 percent of energy bills, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Consumers are looking to keep their homes cozy as the temperature continues to drop, while also having manageable utility bills.

The average American spends an hour a day in the kitchen preparing food and cleaning up afterward, according to the American Time Use Survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Add in the time it takes to put groceries away, load and unload dishwashers, organize cabinets and pantries or just hang out, and you spend a whole lot of time in your kitchen.
Nearly everyone (96 percent) wastes up to an hour each week pre-washing their dishes, according to a recent survey. But the reality is that the outdated ritual of pre-washing can actually result in dirtier dishes and waste a valuable resource - water!
Everyone has a preferred style of kitchen, no matter if you're a chef at heart or just prefer to heat something frozen using the microwave. You may be surprised to discover your personality influences the style of kitchen you prefer. So, do you know what style matches your personality?
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. home prices rose at a modest pace in November, held back by weaker sales and a limited number of houses for sale.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose slightly this week after four straight weeks of declines, while remaining near historically low levels.

PRLog - Sep. 17, 2009 - HOLLYWOOD -- Michael Moore's new movie "Capitalism:
"Stock Shock" profiles corruption surrounding Malone's company Sirius XM Radio
If the idea that Michael Moore has teamed up with a media magnate weren't ironic enough, Malone's company Sirius XM was the subject of the documentary "Stock Shock-the Short Selling of the American Dream," which highlights the company as one of the most corrupted stocks in the market. Investors in Sirius XM lost over 95% of the value of their stock in the company when it nearly went bankrupt earlier this year due to illegal market manipulation, and some contend, internal corporate greed. John Malone turned out to be the satellite company's white knight saving it from ruin at the 11th hour with a loan of several hundred million dollars.
"Stock Shock" interviewed disgruntled investors like Michael Hartleib, founder of SaveSirius.org, who insist that Malone virtually swindled the company away from shareholders when he was awarded a 40% stake in the billion dollar company for the last minute loan.
Hartleib asks, "How was this management team able to steal forty percent of our company without we, the true owners of this company, having a vote or a seat at the table? How was Mr. Malone given forty percent of our company for free?"
"Stock Shock" filmmakers are hosting the first 10 minutes of the movie on youtube.com for a limited time. The movie was released on DVD this summer.

Welcome to the Sundance Dude Ranch in Blackfoot Falls, Montana where the cowboys are hot, and the town sheriff is smokin'!
Ever since the Sundance became a dude ranch, Sheriff Noah Calder has been a "must-see attraction" for hordes of visiting women. But when a suspected (and suspiciously sexy) con artist rolls into town, it takes all of Noah's control to stop himself from giving her a very thorough strip search .
Alana Richardson is no con artistshe's a marketing executive in desperate need of a vacation! But with her luggage stolen and her identity in question, she's under the very close surveillance of Sheriff Noah Sexypants. Now she has to prove she's one of the good guys but she may just have to be a little bad to convince him!
Debbi has written over 50 books for Harlequin since 1994, in several different lines including: Harlequin American, Harlequin Intrigue, Love & Laughter, Duets and Harlequin Blaze. She lives in rural, beautiful Utah with far too many rescued cats and dogs. Although she hasn't lived there for years, she still misses her home state of Hawaii. She's currently working on a western Blaze series, one of her favorite genres.

Mantis 2 or 4 stroke?
Have to replace my small tiller by spring and have decided on a Mantis. The 2 stroke has been around forever but have noticed there's a 4 stroke Honda available. This will only be used as a cultivator between rows in garden and for spot tilling in the wife's flower beds. I have a rear tine beast for the "heavy hauling."
I'm thinking the 2 stroke will do what I want it to and for about 25% less than the 4 stroke. Opinions?
Thanks and keep warm,
The main reason for choosing 2-stroke over 4-stroke is that the 2-stroke engines are lighter in weight for a particular power rating. For chainsaws, the need for a high power-to-weight ratio is compelling. For lawn mowers, it is less so. For tillers, it is helpful if the engines are heavier, to help push the tines into the soil. Four stroke engines usually start easier and more trouble-free. If I could afford it, I would pick the 4-stroke Honda engine Mantis.
I have the 4 stroke Honda 25cc. I have to agree with everyone, the 2 stroke is perfectly fine, if you have money to burn, go for the 4 stroke or even the new and bigger engine ( Honda GX31) to add a little weight. But what you described, 2 cycle is good. Don't think you get less on the 2 cycle, it is the well proven Echo 21.2cc engine that has been around forever, is using on the SRM225, GT225, all the hedge trimmers. We can have a debate whether the Honda engine really last long than this little Echo engine. This is speaking from one ( me) that own the Honda engine Mantis.
Buy direct from Mantis, their service is the best, I am so happy with their support, one year return, replacement with no hassel. You cannot beat this buying from anywhere else. Do a search on my post on Mantis for detail description. I would not save $10 and buy it anywhere else.
Yungman : A Properly Maintained 4-Stroke by Design will outlast a Well Maintained 2-Stroke . Rings are the sacrificial Lamb on the Two Stroke while Valve Train is the Achilles Heel of the 4-Stroke :) However I agree 100% that the Echo engine is every bit as efficient and durable a unit as the Honda within design parameters. I just have found that the downside of the 2-Stroke is Life Cycle Reduction , Noise and Smell .
Ever since I got my Mantis,(6 or 7 years ago),
(Lord, has it been that long?), I have called
it 'A Chainsaw For The Soil'. The way it chews
down through the soil reminds me of what a well
sharpened chainsaw does to wood. As a matter of
fact, my neighbor, up the street,came down to see
if I was cutting trees, while I was tilling my
garden. Yes, it is a little noisy, but it's not
an irritating noise. At least not to me.

Toilet back up - plunger won't work
I've tried using bleach, Dawn, hot hot water and a plunger - nothing goes through quickly - but the water eventually goes through if it sits for a hour or more. When flushed again/refilled it stops up again so the stopage is past the toilet somewhere.
When we run water elsewhere in the house - the water level rises quickly in the toilet. VERY DISCONCERTING
I just tried a snake and couldn't get it down the toilet any further than 3 feet or so. It was marking up the bottom of the toilet too. I also tried a little liquid drain cleaner down the bathroom sink (can't use it in toilets). Maybe I'll try that in other sinks too.
Any other ideas? I have no idea where or how to use a clean out - or even if there is one. Taking the toilet off is not something I want to do - so it would have to be a plumber or handyman. Meanwhile I can't run much water anywhere in the house. :-(
When we run water elsewhere in the house - the water level rises quickly in the toilet.
1. The main line is clogged, you need something like Roto-Rooter to clear it, a snake won't cut it. The toilet is the clean out.
2. The drain field is plugged. Backhoe and trucks and lots of money.
I've kept working on it and now other water in the house can run without that one toilet's level going up.... thats sort of good I think - but I'm still going to keep a very close eye on it.
Still probably going to need a drain cleaning service though unless it clears up overnight!
UPDATE - it's only slightly better this AM - water is clean and goes down the drain but ever so slow. I'm continuing with hot water and Dawn and plunger but so far no sign of remedy.
UPDATE II - I had it running again, but then when I tested it with full force water down the drain from the bathroom sink and kitchen at the same time - it slowed down again. It's like they pushed something back in the way. Upstairs water running no longer affects the toilet water level however.
This post was edited by karyn on Thu, Dec 20, 12 at 8:46
Thanks all - it was never DIY - we ended up calling the plumber and they had to remove the toilet and snake the drain - the obstruction was WAY down the line - 60' or more - almost to the sewer. It took two passes to clear it. And about 2 hours @ $90/hour Plus+ Plus+ Snake Fee $75 - Plus+parts and tax.
$288 total - worth it IMHO to know it's done - and done right. Whew - a relief that this is over.
We've only lived in this house for under 2 years - plumber says this was something that started happening long ago.

Miley Cyrus appeared on Ellen DeGeneres' daytime show The Ellen Show this week and cleared up the rumour that the pop singer was going to have three weddings with fiance Liam Hemsworth. "There's some rumour going around that I'm having 47 weddings" Cyrus joked. "I'm not. I'm having one wedding, that's my day and whatever I want on that day will be about me."
DeGeneres asked Cyrus whether she was excited about the bachelorette party, to which Cyrus replied that she was nervous Ellen was about to surprise her with a party while on the talk show. Good guess, Miley. Check out the shenanigans below. Remember, what happens on The Ellen Show never stays on The Ellen Show.

Secret Printer ID Codes May Be Illegal In the EU 229
from the seeing-yellow dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The idea is to prevent someone from printing $100 bills/IDs/etc on their printer.
Yes but that doesn't mean that it could not be used by, say an agency that wishes to monitor who is distributing political leaflets for example. Looking at the US from the outside, freedom of speech and the press are wonderful - it seems that your government is accessing more and more ways to check how you are using those freedoms.
Violating the spirit of human rights is one thing, ignoring an actual judgment by the European court of human rights is quite another.
And yet when laws were passed required doing exactly that to sell a legal product in California, it was lauded as a wonderful idea.
But firearms don't count, I guess. I am glad in some ways that other's hobbies are now being treated with as much disdain as mine. Maybe in addition to the National Rifle Association we need the National Photography Association.
With your bare hands?!?

Cobweb v1.0.28
IntroCobWeb has three methods of running. Firstly it is a http client that allows get and head requests returning a hash of data relating to the requested resource. The second main function is to utilize this combined with the power of Resque to cluster the crawls allowing you crawl quickly. Lastly you can run the crawler with a block that uses each of the pages found in the crawl. I've created a sample app to help with setting up cobweb at http://github.com/stewartmckee/cobweb_sample
ResqueWhen running on resque, passing in a Class and queue name it will enqueue all resources to this queue for processing, passing in the hash it has generated. You then implement the perform method to process the resource for your own application.
StandaloneCobwebCrawler takes the same options as cobweb itself, so you can use any of the options available for that. An example is listed below. While the crawler is running, you can view statistics on http://localhost:4567
Command LineCobweb can also be ran from the command line to perform various pre-canned tasks.
- report – output a csv with data from the crawl
- export – creates a local replication of the data on the server based off the url structure. Text data is stored in yaml format.
Data Returned For Each Page The data available in the returned hash are:
- :url – url of the resource requested
- :status_code – status code of the resource requested
- :mime_type – content type of the resource
- :character_set – character set of content determined from content type
- :length – length of the content returned
- :body – content of the resource
- :location – location header if returned
- :redirect_through – if your following redirects, any redirects are stored here detailing where you were redirected through to get to the final location
- :headers – hash or the headers returned
- :links – hash or links on the page split in to types
- :links – url's from a tags within the resource
- :images – url's from img tags within the resource
- :related – url's from link tags
- :scripts – url's from script tags
- :styles – url's from within link tags with rel of stylesheet and from url() directives with stylesheets
StatisticsStatistics are available during the crawl, you can create a Stats object passing in a hash with redis_options and crawl_id. Stats has a get_statistics method that returns a hash of the statistics available to you. It is also returned by default from the CobwebCrawler.crawl standalone crawling method. The data available within statistics is as follows:
- :average_length – average size of each objet
- :minimum_length – minimum length returned
- :queued_at – date and time that the crawl was started at (eg: "2012-09-10T23:10:08+01:00")
- :maximum_length – maximum length of object received
- :status_counts – hash with the status returned as the key and value as number of pages (eg: => 1, "200" => 1)
- :mime_counts – hash containing the mime type as key and count or pages as value (eg: => 8, "image/jpeg" => 25))
- :queue_counter – size of queue waiting to be processed for crawl
- :page_count – number of html pages retrieved
- :total_length – total size of data received
- :current_status – Current status of crawl
- :asset_count – count of non-html objects received
- :page_size – total size of pages received
- :average_response_time – average response time of all objects
- :crawl_counter – number of objects that have been crawled
- :minimum_response_time – quickest response time of crawl
- :maximum_response_time – longest response time of crawl
- :asset_size – total size of all non-assets received
Install crawler as a gem
gem install cobweb
Creates a new crawler object based on a base_url
- options – Options are passed in as a hash,
- :follow_redirects – transparently follows redirects and populates the :redirect_through key in the content hash (Default: true)
- :redirect_limit – sets the limit to be used for concurrent redirects (Default: 10)
- :processing_queue – specifies the processing queue for content to be sent to (Default: 'CobwebProcessJob' when using resque, 'CrawlProcessWorker' when using sidekiq)
- :crawl_finished_queue – specifies the processing queue for statistics to be sent to after finishing crawling (Default: 'CobwebFinishedJob' when using resque, 'CrawlFinishedWorker' when using sidekiq)
- :debug – enables debug output (Default: false)
- :quiet – hides default output (Default: false)
- :cache – sets the ttl for caching pages, set to nil to disable caching (Default: 300)
- :timeout – http timeout for requests (Default: 10)
- :redis_options – hash containing the initialization options for redis (e.g. => "redis.mydomain.com") (Default: {})
- :internal_urls – array of strings representing internal url forms for your site (eg: ['http://test.com/*', 'http://blog.test.com/*', 'http://externaltest.com/*']) (Default: [], although your first url's scheme, host and domain are added)
- :first_page_redirect_internal – if true and the first page crawled is a redirect, it will add the final destination of redirects to the internal_urls (e.g. http://www.test.com gets redirected to http://test.com) (Default: true)
- :crawl_id – the id used internally for identifying the crawl. Can be used by the processing job to seperate crawls
- :internal_urls – an array of urls with * wildcards that represent urls internal to the site (ie pages within the same domain)
- :external_urls – an array of urls with * wildcards that represent urls external to the site (overrides internal_urls)
- :seed_urls – an array of urls that are put into the queue regardless of any other setting, combine with => "*" to limit to seed urls
- :obey_robots – boolean determining if robots.txt should be honoured. (default: false)
- :user_agent – user agent string to match in robots.txt (not sent as user_agent of requests yet) (default: cobweb)
- :crawl_limit_by_page – sets the crawl counter to only use html page types when counting objects crawled
- :valid_mime_types – an array of mime types that takes wildcards (eg 'text/*') defaults to
- :direct_call_process_job – boolean that specifies whether objects should be passed directly to a processing method or should be put onto a queue
- :raise_exceptions – defaults to handling exceptions with debug output, setting this to true will raise exceptions in your app
- :use_encoding_safe_process_job – Base64-encode the body when storing job in queue; set to true when you are expecting non-ASCII content (Default: false)
- :proxy_addr – hostname of a proxy to use for crawling (e. g., 'myproxy.example.net', default: nil)
- :proxy_port – port number of the proxy (default: nil)
- :treat_https_as_http – determines whether https and http urls are treated as the same (defaults to true, ie treated as the same)
crawler = Cobweb.new(:follow_redirects => false)
Starts a crawl through resque. Requires the :processing_queue to be set to a valid class for the resque job to work with the data retrieved.
- base_url – the url to start the crawl from
Once the crawler starts, if the first page is redirected (eg from http://www.test.com to http://test.com) then the endpoint scheme, host and domain is added to the internal_urls automatically.
Simple get that obey's the options supplied in new.
- url – url requested
Simple get that obey's the options supplied in new.
- url – url requested
Processing Queue
The :processing_queue option is used to specify the class that contains the resque perform method to pass the content onto. This class should be defined in your application to perform any tasks you wish to the content. There are two options however, for running this. Firstly, the default settings will push the content crawled onto a resque queue for that class. This allows you the flexibility of running in queues on seperate machines etc. The main drawback to this is that all your content is stored in redis within the queue. This can be memory intensive if you are crawling large sites, or have large content that is being crawled. To get around this you can specify that the crawl_job calls the perform method on the processing queue class directly, thereby not using memory in redis for the content. This is performed by using the :direct_call_process_job. If you set that option to 'true' then instead of the job being queued, it will be executed within the crawl_job queue.
CobwebCrawler is the standalone crawling class. If you don't want to use resque or sidekiq and just want to crawl the site within your ruby process, you can use this class.
crawler = CobwebCrawler.new(:cache => 600)
statistics = crawler.crawl("http://www.pepsico.com")
You can also run within a block and get access to each page as it is being crawled.
statistics = CobwebCrawler.new(:cache => 600).crawl("http://www.pepsico.com") do |page|
puts "Just crawled #{page[:url]} and got a status of #{page[:status_code]}."
puts "Finished Crawl with #{statistics[:page_count]} pages and #{statistics[:asset_count]} assets."
There are some specific options for CobwebCrawler in addition to the normal cobweb options
- thread_count – specifies the number of threads used by the crawler, defaults to 1
The CobwebCrawlHelper class is a helper class to assist in getting information about a crawl and to perform functions against the crawl
crawl = CobwebCrawlHelper.new()
- options – the hash of options passed into Cobweb.new (must include a :crawl_id)
Contributing/TestingFeel free to contribute small or large bits of code, just please make sure that there are rspec test for the features your submitting. We also test on travis at http://travis-ci.org/#!/stewartmckee/cobweb if you want to see the state of the project. Continuous integration testing is performed by the excellent Travis: http://travis-ci.org/#!/stewartmckee/cobweb
- Tidy up classes with link parsing
- Refactoring of code to simplify design
- Remove requirement of redis from standalone crawler
- Add redis settings to standalone crawler (ie to connect to remote redis)
- Add ability to start and stop crawls from web interface
- Allow crawler to start as web interface only (ie not run crawls at start)
- Fix content encoding issue requiring separate process job
- DRY the cobweb get/head calls, its got a lot of duplication
- Investigate using event machine for single threaded crawling
Big changes
- Refactor into a module and refactor class names to remove cobweb and increase simplicity

Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, meet 99 cans of beer in the box.
Going out to eat should be a treat, but too often there are other distractions that can ruin the good time, the least of which are the litany of people you are bound to find.
Peeling apples doesn't exactly seem like something that can be cool, which makes this even more amazing.
We're having a good time with on 5th Street, between Ohio and Lamine with the Fitter's 5th Street Back to School Block Party. There is still more fun to come with the Bag Toss/Cornhole Tournament and you can meet the State Fair Community Roadrunners, between 2-4pm. Kid
Here's a look at some of what's going on for your Labor Day weekend.
If there's one thing that kids hate to be reminded of, it's back to school season. Well, too bad, students! We're ready to revel in it! Join us on August 30, 2014 for our downtown Sedalia 'Fitter's 5th Street Back to School Block Party.'
Sometimes you can convince yourself that a pizza is going to taste good just by the way it looks. A study by the Institute of Food Technologists say that what people like to see is a golden cheese pie with both dark toasted-cheese patches and glistening oil in other spots.
The Sedalia Moose Lodge is hosting a CASA Poker Run. It'll be held on Saturday, August 30.

This Land is Your Land, This Land is Lego
Jeff Fieren's a photographer from Nova Scotia who's been known to dabble in dioramas using only Lego building blocks and other lego items. Seems like maybe he's got some spare time on his hands - maybe a lot of it. Check out his website. He's built dioramas of each of the 50 United States. Some are dead on: dancing girls in Nevada; folks attending a big football game in Alabama; and the Wright Brothers in North Carolina. But others will have you scratching your head: a merry-go-round and funnel cake stand for New Jersey; two guys on swings for Ohio; and a roadway sign saying "Welcome to Delaware" immediately followed by one saying "Thanks for visiting." Come on, guys. We all know that's a Rhode Island joke.

Ed Sheeran, Wedding Singer
Did you catch this one? A radio station in Sydney, Australia had already arranged an $80,000 dream wedding for a local couple after the unemployed groom wrote to talk about their need to postpone their wedding due to personal and financial hardship. Everything taken care of, down to the last detail. So when a somewhat familiar wedding singer showed up, no one should have been surprised, right? Surprised they were when Ed Sheeran walked in, strapped on his guitar and played "Thinking Out Loud," the song the couple had chosen for their first dance. Nicely done. And it's good to know Ed's got something to fall back on in case this recording thing falls through... Just surprised this lovely couples first dance.

Kourtney K, Trail Blazer
The Kardashians are frequently known for taking what others do and trying to top it. This newest one has me scratching my head though. You've heard of breastfeeding selfies, right? Giselle Bunchchen started the trend, posting pictures of herself feeding her children. And Alyssa Milano has kept the trend alive. They're called "brelfies." Now, Kourtney is posting pictures of her using breast pumps to express her breast milk to feed her child later. So what do we call these types of pictures? Pumpies? After the show it's the after party. A photo posted by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on Mar 21, 2015 at 6:39pm PDT

That's Some Expensive Texting
The general manager of the NFL's Cleveland Browns has been suspended for four games without pay and fined $250,000. Why? For texting to on-field personnel during games. That's a serious wrist slap right there. A lot tougher than the NFL's former "Give Me That Phone You'll Get It Back At The End of The Game" policy...

Stephen King on Indiana
Despite being a guy who chooses to write books that are over 1000 pages long, Stephen King can be short, sweet and to the point at times. Take for instance his reaction to Indiana's controversial new Religious Freedom Restoration Act. He's not a fan, and he puts it in a very simple light. No novel, no novella, not even a short story needed here. Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration act is gay discrimination, pure and simple. You can frost a dog turd, but it's still a dog turd. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 31, 2015

Bieber's Roast Airs
It seems like the roast that would never end, but the Comedy Central roast of Justin Bieber finally aired last night.

If you believe the clips, it looks like the Biebs had some of the best lines of the night.

Meet the New Daily Show Host
Comedy Central announced yesterday the replacement for Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Just as everyone expected, the new host is... Trevor Noah? Um, sorry, who? Trevor's relatively new to The Daily Show. Heck, he's relatively new to the US, having arrived at both spots back in December - four months ago - from his native South Africa. In fact, back then, he made his debut appearance on The Daily Show as a correspondent. Now, suddenly, he's the new host. As others scramble to find out more about him, why not just sit back and watch that debut..

Oh No He Didn't...
Justin Bieber took the stage as a back-up singer with Ariana Grande in Miami over the weekend. His job: help her with "Love Me Harder." And he couldn't do it. He flubbed the lines, then gave up and started dancing on stage and greeting fans to cover for his failed memory. He apologized repeatedly to Ariana on stage.. And he did so on Instagram afterwards as well. Accepted or not, I'll bet it's the last time he's invited to be Ariana's back-up...

The Beginning of The New World
Jay Z enlisted some top-level friends to help him announce his new streaming music service, Tidal. Beyonce was there, of course, and Kanye. But so was Madonna, and Nicki Minaj, and Jason Aldean, and Chris Martin, and more. Dozens of artists, in the room and on-line, to hear about and lend support to Jay Z's game changing idea. His plan is to get consumers to pay for music they're used to streaming for free. You laugh, but it worked for Netflix. The man could really be on to something big here...

What Is Needed/Signing Up
Coach Sewell will be running Summer Volleyball Training sessions for anyone who is interested in trying out out for the Issaquah High School Volleyball Program for the 2014 season. These sessions are designed to give players opportunities to work on both physical fitness and volleyball skills.
Players also need to bring a signed open gym form. This only needs to be completed and handed to Coach Sewell the first time you show up to a session. The form is needed to participate in the training sessions, you can find this form at the bottom of this page.
To run a session Coach Sewell is requiring a minimum 6 players to be registered for each session. If there is not enough players for a session it will be cancelled. To sign up for sessions there is a form at the bottom of this page that you fill out. REMINDER: When you are signing up for a session, you are signing up for an individual day so input as many days are you are committing to.
This year we are doing things a little bit different. Since I have had to reserve spots at the school and need to let them know if I am canceling that session, I will need to have finalized numbers the Friday before the 3 days of training.
Cancellations/Reminder Emails
If you have to cancel your registration please email Coach Sewell the week prior to the session that you need to cancel. You can email Coach Sewell at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Thursday prior to the training sessions an email will go out to either remind you of the sessions for Monday and Tuesday or will let you know which of the sessions has been cancelled. I will try to get the email out by 9:00pm.
Please check your emails frequently so that we don't have people showing up to a cancelled session.

Extreme Fine Tuning - Dark Energy or the Cosmological Constant
The recent Nature study popularized in the press regarding the nature of the universe has confirmed some of the original studies involving supernovae type 1.1 The supernovae results suggested that there was a "springiness" to space, an energy density often referred to as "dark energy" or the "cosmological constant," that causes the universe to expand at a faster rate the more it expands. Often described as an "anti-gravity" force, it doesn't really oppose matter, but only affects matter as it is associated with the fabric of space.
The balloon-borne microwave telescope (called "Boomerang") examined the cosmic background radiation left over from the Big Bang.2 The angular power spectrum showed a peak value at exactly the value predicted by the inflationary hot Big Bang model dominated by cold dark matter. This model predicts a smaller second peak, which seems to be there, but cannot be fully resolved with the initial measurements. The presence of the second peak would all but seal the reliability of the Big Bang model as the mechanism by which the universe came into existence.
How does this study impact the Christian faith? The Bible says that the universe was created in finite time from that which is not visible.3 In addition, the Bible describes an expanding universe model.4 The Bible describes the Creator being personally involved in the design of the universe, so that we would expect to see this kind of design in His creation.5
How much fine tuning?
How does this discovery impact atheists? Those who favor naturalism had long sought to find the simplest explanation for the universe, hoping to avoid any evidence for design. A Big Bang model in which there was just enough matter to equal the critical density to account for a flat universe would have provided that. However, for many years, it has been evident that there is less than half of the amount of matter in the universe to account for a flat universe. A cosmological constant would provide an energy density to make up for the missing matter density, but would require an extreme amount of fine tuning. The supernovae studies demonstrated that there was an energy density to the universe (but did not define the size of this energy density), and the recent Boomerang study demonstrated that this energy density is exactly what one would expect to get a flat universe. How finely tuned must this energy density be to get a flat universe? One part in 10120,6 which is:
1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
Atheists' reactions
What do atheists think about this level of design? Here is a quote from a recent article:
"This type of universe, however, seems to require a degree of fine tuning of the initial conditions that is in apparent conflict with 'common wisdom'."1
Atheists see a conflict because this level of design is something that one would not expect by chance from a universe that began through a purely naturalistic mechanism. "Common wisdom" is common only to those who must exclude a supernatural explanation for the creation of the universe.
Yet another study confirms the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation, left over from the Big Bang. The standard inflationary model predicted that the background radiation should be polarized when it interacted with matter, nearly 14 billion years ago. John Carlstrom, the S. Chandrasekhar Distinguished Service Professor in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, announced the discovery and made the following admission:
"Polarization is predicted. It's been detected and it's in line with theoretical predictions. We're stuck with this preposterous universe."7
Naturalism fails the test
In another article entitled, "Disturbing Implications of a Cosmological Constant"8 researchers from Stanford and MIT examined some of the "problems" associated with a cosmological constant. In their paper, they stated that the implications of a cosmological constant "lead to very deep paradoxes, which seem to require major revisions of our usual assumptions." They admit that "there is no universally accepted explanation of how the universe got into such a special state" and that their study, "Far from providing a solution to the problem, we will be led to a disturbing crisis." They also admit, "Some unknown agent initially started the inflation high up on its potential, and the rest is history."
In examining problems with the cosmological constant, the authors are concerned that ultimate fate of the universe is complete entropy with all the matter and energy distributed over maximally expanded spacetime. They cite the ability of the universe to undergo "Poincare recurrences" as a possible "solution" to one of the "problems." There is a certain theoretical possibility that after the universe is maximally expanded that it would come back together again into one point. Think of it like this. Let's say you are in a room with air molecules randomly moving around in the room. There is a certain probability that the random motion of the molecules could cause all of them to travel to one corner of the room, leaving you in a complete vacuum. Obviously, this would not be a good thing to happen, but it is possible, with an interval on the order of once every 1060 years. Since we only live 102 years in a universe that has been around for only 1010 years, it is practically impossible. So, what is the time it would take for a fully expanded universe to come back into a single point? The authors calculate the value as e10120 years, which they comment "seems like an absurdly big time between interesting events, which, by comparison, last for a very short time." Recent evidence suggests that even this estimate is very optimistic. Some scientists believe that the universe will be permanently destroyed within 22 billion years, with no possibility of reassembly. Robert Caldwell of Dartmouth College says that the dark energy of the universe is increasing at a rate that will rip the universe apart and even the atoms themselves.9
However, it is the nature of inflation and the temperature of the universe that deeply concerns these cosmologists. This is what they have to say about the nature of our current universe, among all other possible universes:
"In all of these worlds statistically miraculous (but not impossible) events would be necessary to assemble and preserve the fragile nuclei that would ordinarily be destroyed by the higher temperatures. However, although each of the corresponding histories is extremely unlikely, there are so many more of them than those that evolve without "miracles," that they would vastly dominate the livable universes that would be created by Poincare recurrences. We are forced to conclude that in a recurrent world like de Sitter space our universe would be extraordinarily unlikely."
Appealing to possible alternative ways that the universe might have evolved do not make fine tuning untenable. In fact, the vast majority of possible universes would contain no matter at all - just energy! Here is what Dyson says about the probability that our universe would be the way it is:
"The vast majority of the space consists of states which are macroscopically "dead de Sitter;" that is, nearly empty de Sitter containing only some thermal radiation. A tiny subset of the states are anthropically acceptable, meaning that they contain complex structures such as stars and galaxies, and a very small subset of those are macroscopically indistinguishable from our universe (labeled MIFOU in the figure). Inflationary initial conditions occupy an even smaller fraction of the space. Trajectories which pass through the inflationary patch will almost always lead immediately to the MIFOU region, "mixing" into it in a "porous," phase-space-area-preserving manner. The vast majority of the points in the MIFOU region did not come from inflation, but rather from unstable trajectories originating in the dead region. Finally, any trajectory in the dead region will remain there almost all of the time, but will occasionally enter the anthropically acceptable region, and very much more rarely the MIFOU region, and almost never the inflationary region. Therefore, livable universes are almost always created by fluctuations into the "miraculous" states discussed above."
The nature of the universe reveals that a purely naturalistic cause for the universe is extremely unlikely and, therefore, illogical. One cannot say that a miraculous naturalistic event is a scientific explanation. Miracles are only possible when an immensely powerful Being intervenes to cause them. The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,10 and that He created the universe.11 When a model doesn't work, scientists must be willing to give up their model for a model that fits the facts better. In this case, the supernatural design model fits the data much better than the naturalistic random chance model.

Integrating Science and Faith
Soft Tissue in Mollusk Fossils and the Case for a Young Earth
When it comes to science-faith discussions, the age of the earth is one of the most contentious topics among evangelicals and conservative Christians. Most of the scientific debate surrounding this issue centers on astronomy and geology, but young-earth creationists have recently turned to biology to make their case for a young earth. One prominent argument … Continue reading
How We Keep Our Eyes on Target
They say it's harder to hit a moving target. The difficulty increases even more if the weapons platform is moving, too. Consider the tank chase scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Indy manages to avoid the guns on a lumbering tank by never staying put. Unless on very flat and horizontal terrain, World … Continue reading
Does Science Make the Case for God, or Not? (Part 1 of 2)
Does science make the case for God, or not? It depends on whom you ask. Author and TV host Eric Metaxas argued the affirmative position in a recent (December 2014) Wall Street Journal piece.1 A month later in response to Metaxas' article, the New Yorker published an opposite position2 from theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss. Rather … Continue reading
Blood Moons: An End-Times Sign? (Part 2 of 2)
Popular Bible preacher John Hagee has authored a book and produced a movie by the same name, Four Blood Moons (in theatres March 23 only). On the film's website the San Antonio megachurch pastor states, "The heavens are 'God's billboard.' He's been sending signals to earth, and we haven't been picking them up." In part … Continue reading
Blood Moons: An End-Times Sign? (Part 1 of 2)
Four Blood Moons, a theatrical one-night event scheduled for March 23, 2015, and based on Texas megachurch pastor John Hagee's New York Times bestseller of the same name, has garnered attention. I'm featured briefly in the film as a skeptic of Hagee's central claim that a sequence of four total lunar eclipses signifies that "world … Continue reading
Twisted Evidence for Early Life
Anyone working on a home improvement project knows how important it is to have "the right tool for the right job." This maxim also applies to science. Scientists need the right scientific tools if they ever hope to advance our understanding of the natural world. Perhaps no group of scientists has a greater need for … Continue reading
Early Life Was More Complex than We Thought
Is Genesis scientifically credible? According to the common narrative in our culture, scientific advance has rendered Genesis (and other creation accounts found in the Bible) untenable. Yet, if the Genesis creation "days" are viewed as long periods of time and the proper frame of reference is identified (Earth's surface), remarkable agreement emerges between the Bible … Continue reading
Q&A: Were Dinosaurs Reptiles?
From Jerry in Los Angeles, CA I'm reading your book Navigating Genesis. On page 66 you say, "Given that dinosaurs were reptiles, not mammals…" Wait a minute! I thought it was shown decades ago that dinosaurs were not. They were warm blooded and some were feathered. I thought it was common knowledge that dinosaurs were not … Continue reading
Q&A: Could "Fresh" Dino Tissue Survive for Millions of Years?
From Nate in Fullerton, CA: Recently I've been referred by some young-earth creationist friends to a couple of articles about a Tyrannosaurus rex tooth and a Triceratops-type horn that both underwent an autopsy showing (relatively speaking) "fresher" organic material. Does this affect the time line for the existence of dinosaurs? I appreciate the thought put into this … Continue reading
Q&A: Are Dark Matter and Dark Energy Just "Props" for the Big Bang?
From Gavin: I always enjoy and profit by listening to RTB's scholars discussing and interviewing others on various creation-science, theological-philosophical, and biblical topics. I am interested to hear what you have to say about the following. A commentator on a young-earth creation (YEC) website said, I am very impressed with the way YEC cosmologists have … Continue reading
