Movie actor Alec Baldwin was arrested in New York City for riding his bicycle the wrong way, according to the New York Daily News. He was also handcuffed and led away for failling to show his identification.
The "30 Rock" star was bicycling the wrong way down 16th and Fifth Streets near Union Square in Manhattan when he was detained by two police officers. He's scheduled for a court appearance on July 24 in the Manhattan Criminal Court.
Baldwin, 56, was stopped at 10:15 a.m. and refused to show his ID. Maybe Baldwin felt the policemen should recognize him.
Baldwin has had several notable appearances in movies Glengarry Glen Ross, Miami Blues, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Cooler and The Departed. He was nominated for an Oscar for best actor for his role in the Cooler.
In Glengarry Glen Ross he played one of the greatest "chew out" roles in movie history. Based on a real estate company whose salesmen were performing poorly, Baldwin was hired by the bosses of the corporation to appear in the offices and "inspire" the employees to increase their sales.
Baldwin strolled into the room full of real estate people and created instant chaos with his memorable role. When one of the salesmen walked over to pour himself a cup of coffee he yelled, "You don't deserve coffee! Closers deserve coffee! You are not a closer!" Evidently these salesmen had not closed enough sales.
The startled employee appears to morph into a state of shock.
Having gotten everyone's attention, he pulled the expensive Rolex watch off his wrist and placed it on the desk. He roared, "This watch is worth more than the cars any of you drive! You're not closers!"
The insulted employees including Jack Lemon stare back at Baldwin in amazement.
While his appearance in the movie is only for a few minutes it has gone down in the history of movies as perhaps the greatest scene portraying a boss chewing out employees ever filmed.
Baldwin joked about the incident today, telling a New York reporter, "There is only one crime more serious in New York than riding a bike the wrong way down the street and that's terrorism."
He also said when he and his wife were getting out of their car to attend a party for Barbara Walters he spotted a Fedex biker pedaling the wrong way and he joked to a police officer standing nearby, "How come nobody's arresting him?"
He said the officer laughed.
Baldwin predicted his arrest would be sorted out in court.

Over a hundred flights were delayed and at least 10 were canceled Friday at San Diego Lindbergh Field reported NBC San Diego on January 3, 2014.
Fog in San Diego and the ripple effect of Winter Storm Hercules contributed to the flight delays and cancellations.
Officials from the National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory for coastal cities that went into effect at 6 p.m. Friday and will remain until 9 a.m. Saturday.
Some flights were delayed more than seven hours.
The majority of the flight delays from Lindbergh Field were on Southwest Airlines. Southwest Flights from cities outside San Diego have been heavily impacted by Winter Storm Hercules said Katie Jones, Public Relations Specialist for the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
"Southwest does see the majority of the delays, but they're also the majority of our traffic,'' Jones said.
Passengers traveling from and to San Diego can check their flights on the flight status page of the San Diego airport here. Passengers can also check the status of their flights with their airlines.
Lindbergh Field isn't the only airport affected by weather. Over 1,800 flights across the United States have been canceled.

Alaska Railroad - Port MacKenzie Rail Extension
Alaska Railroad - Port MacKenzie Rail Extension Abstract
On December 5, 2008, the Alaska Railroad Corporation (ARRC) filed a petition with the Surface Transportation Board (STB) for authority to construct and operate approximately 31 to 46 miles of rail line to connect the Port MacKenzie District in Matanuska-Susitna Borough to a point on the existing ARRC main line. The Applicant has stated that the purpose of the proposed rail line is to provide rail service to Port MacKenzie and connect the Port with the existing ARRC rail system, providing Port MacKenzie customers with rail transportation between Port MacKenzie and Interior Alaska. The proposed rail line would thus provide Port MacKenzie's customers with multi-modal options for the movement of freight to and from Port MacKenzie similar to that offered by other ports handling large vessels. As stated by the Applicant, the focus of Port MacKenzie is bulk commodity shipments, many of which it believes would be the result of new economic activity. The proposed project would also support ARRC's statutory goal to foster and promote long-term economic growth and development in Alaska.
On March 25, 2011, the Board's Office of Environmental Analysis (OEA) issued the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which identifies and evaluates the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed action and alternatives, including the No-Action Alternative. The proposed action and alternatives, with the exception of the No-Action Alternative, could adversely affect surface water, wetland, biological, cultural and historic, land use, and parks and recreation resources. OEA has included final recommended mitigation measures in this Final EIS. The mitigation measures will be considered by the Board as potential conditions if the Board decides to grant ARRC authority to construct and operate the rail line. The proposed action and alternatives would cause negligible impacts on all other resource areas.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District (USACE), and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the Final EIS. The cooperating agencies' Federal actions could include an FRA decision to provide funding to ARRC for rail line construction through a grant, USCG's decision on issuing bridge permits under section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. § 401 et seq.), the General Bridge Act of 1946 (33 U.S.C. § 525 et seq.), and USACE decision to issue a discharge permit under section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1376) and a permit to perform work or place a structure in navigable waters under section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. § 403).
If the Board decides to grant final approval for this project, OEA's recommended alternative is the Mac East Variant-Connector 3 Variant-Houston-Houston South Alternative. OEA recommends that the Board impose the Applicant's voluntary mitigation measures and OEA's additional recommended mitigation measures in any decision granting the Applicant authority to construct and operate the rail line.
OEA anticipates that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will publish a notice of availability of the Final EIS in the Federal Register on April 1, 2011.
A link to the Final EIS is provided below:

We have all heard the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Is it true? Some individuals believe it actually works. However, we can all agree that the apple has a variety of health benefits.
Did you know that eating an apple can improve lung function? Yes, and the quercetin found in apples is an anti-inflammatory and can help people with the complications from diabetes. In addition, the amazing apple can alleviate allergic reactions and joint problems like arthritis. The apple contains nutrients such as vitamin C, flavonoids, fiber and malic acid. When you have diabetes, it is imperative that your body receives plenty of vitamin C and the flavonoid quercetin. The pectin is the fiber that is found in your apple. This particular fiber will clear the bad toxins out of your body. This is an additional health benefit when you really want to rid the body of chemicals, heavy metals, and bad cholesterol. You can even speed up recovery time from being sick if you increase your vitamin C intake.
It's best to eat fruit like the apple alone. The amazing apple is packed full of nutrients and you receive the most health benefits when other foods are not in the digestive tract at the same time. In addition, when you have diabetes, you'll need to monitor any fruit or fruit juice that you consume as it still contains sugar.
We know that Scurvy is caused by a vitamin C deficiency. However, did you know that if you have a vitamin C deficiency (less than 38 micromoles per liter) you have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease? Yes. Even higher levels of vitamin C are linked to a lower risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Unfortunately, hemorrhagic stroke is when you have bleeding in the brain. This type of stroke is almost always fatal.
It seems like the saying; "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" may be true.

July 11, 2012
Listed as one of the best doctors in the nation in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation by the medical knowledge company, Best Doctors, Inc., Helene K. Henson, M.D. examines Veteran Anthony Thompson during a recent visit.
HOUSTON – Helene K. Henson, M.D. has been selected to lead the newly formed Rehabilitation & Extended Care Line at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC).
"With her strong leadership skills and personal drive, Helene has a proven track record of ensuring VA health care is more attentive to Veterans and their families; more performance-based and quality-driven; and better supported by medical education and research," said Medical Center Chief of Staff J. Kalavar, M.D.
Listed as one of the best doctors in the nation in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation by the medical knowledge company, Best Doctors, Inc., Henson has nearly 14 years of experience with the Department of Veterans Affairs and has served as the Rehabilitation Care Line Executive at the MEDVAMC for the past eight years.
During her tenure, the Rehabilitation Care Line Polytrauma Network Site at the MEDVAMC has grown into one of the largest and most clinically acknowledged sites in the VA. Henson is the lead physician for the MEDVAMC Polytrauma Amputation Network serving Veterans throughout the South Central VA Health Care Network. Recognized for her work on the Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence Steering Committee, she was named to serve on the National Advisory Committee for the Care of Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury, as well as the national VA Physical Medicine Field Advisory Board.
The mission of the Rehabilitation & Extended Care Line is to provide Veterans the right rehabilitative medical intervention at the right time in the right place. Care is managed on the acute medical and surgery units, through the Comprehensive Integrated Inpatient Rehabilitative Program, in the Community Living Center, on the Palliative Care Unit, at seven outpatient clinics, in Veterans' homes, as well as in community nursing, medical foster, and personal care homes.
Henson is also an associate professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Baylor College of Medicine *. She completed medical school and her internship at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston and her residency at Baylor College of Medicine. Henson is board certified by the American Board of PM&R and is actively working to develop clinical practice guidelines for the management of amputation rehabilitation for VA and the Department of Defense.

Following in the footsteps of "The Hunger Games," "Divergent" is the latest futuristic sci-fi, teen book series to be transformed to the big screen. Devoted fans will be upset by some changes to the story, but the movie sticks to the important plot details. With a group of talented stars filling the cast, "Divergent" is a basic stepping stone for the trilogy but has huge potential.
After some kind of war in the near future, Chicago's people are divided into five factions based on personality in order to maintain order: Dauntless (the daring, brave protectors), Candor (who value honesty), Amity (hippie-like and friendly), Erudite (who value intelligence and knowledge), and Abnegation (the selfless humanitarians). In their 16th year, teens are given a kind of aptitude test to find which quality dominates their personality, and then the teen must choose a faction to join. Turning sixteen in the same year, Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) and her slightly older brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort) must decide their fates after being raised in Abnegation. When Beatrice is tested by Tori (Maggie Q), the test doesn't work on her and declares her Divergent, or fitting more than one faction. Keeping her results a secret, Beatrice chooses to join Dauntless and begins the initiation testing once in the faction, a vigorous physical and mental challenge to face her fears. Now going by "Tris," she makes friends with other initiates and her instructor Four (Theo James) but still hides the secret of her Divergence as she learns that she's in danger.
The series, beginning with "Divergent," is similar in subject and style to that of "The Hunger Games," and the level of filmmaking is comparable, though Tris lacks the strength and core motivation of Katniss. The script is the film's flaw, but the source material doesn't offer that much more character development. In the book, Tris is more mean-spirited and somewhat vindictive; the altered personality of the film makes for a more personable heroine, but the film unsuccessfully relies on the romance to sell the plot rather than a main character with personality. Tris just seems lost, whereas Katniss is always motivated to protect the people she loves.
Stars have flocked to participate in young adult book franchises, such as "Harry Potter" and "The Hunger Games," and "Divergent" is no exception, though it is filled with more remarkable youth. Tony Goldwyn and Ashley Judd play Tris' parents, Ray Stevenson is the local leader, Jai Courtney and Mekhi Phifer are Dauntless leaders, and Kate Winslet is the conniving Jeanine, head of Erudite. Winslet's role gets a little silly in an attempt to give her more screen time, but one can hope her character improves in the next film. As for the teen characters, the actors are topnotch upcoming stars; Shailene Woodley earned her stripes in "The Descendants," so it is easy to see how she received the lead. Her co-stars in other films, Miles Teller ("The Spectacular Now") and Ansel Elgort ("The Fault in Our Stars"), clearly work well with her. Keep an eye out for these three fantastic young stars.
The film actually improves on some parts of the book; the simulation images and reactions from Tris are much better in the film, thanks in large part to special effects and the emotional depth of Shailene Woodley. Unfortunately, "Divergent" is mostly just a bland start. With such a talented cast, one would hope that the rest of the series finds some intensity.
Rating for "Divergent:" C+

"Divergent" is still playing throughout Columbus, including at AMC Easton and Marcus Crosswoods. For showtimes, click here.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Hilldale Shopping Center of Madison.
While you're visiting Santa at Hilldale, be sure to stroll through the center aisle of the mall to enjoy the gingerbread houses which were built and decorated by local businesses for the "Gingerbread Casas for CASA" competition which was held on November 20th.
Near the main atrium (and Santa), visit the walk-through gingerbread house created from real gingerbread and decorated with hundreds of pieces of real candy.
NOTE: If you're unable to see the gingerbread creations in person, please enjoy the slideshow. My tween's favorite was the Wizard of Oz house.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Laura Gilbert reviews the exhibition Mantegna to Matisse: Master Drawings from the Courtauld Gallery at the Frick Collection, New York, on view through Janaury 23, 2012.
"As might be expected in a show that covers art from the late Middle Ages to the early 20th century, the styles and purposes of the drawings are all over the place. There are Leonardo's scribbled studies of Mary Magdalene, Pieter Breugel the Elder's detailed line drawing of a peasant scene that would be used to make a print, and a watercolor by Cezanne meant as a finished piece.... Exceptionally high quality is the glue that holds the show together. So this is an exhibit that presents art as pretty much ahistorical and at its most fundamental -- pure visual pleasure, of which there is plenty."
Jonathan Jones blogs about Hugo Van der Goes' Trinity Altarpiece, currently on view in the Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh.
Jones writes that the Altarpiece is one of Van der Goes' "finest extant works... the paintings reveal a king and queen at prayer, flanked by saints, in a church that is painted in depth - a real, resonant space. The stillness and gravity of the people, the rich details of their dress and the books from which they pray, share the sombre poetic realism of this artist's most famous masterpiece, the Portinari Altarpiece... Spiritual vision and acute realism are mystically at one."

College Hockey:Raiders Claim Sole Possession Of First In ECAC
Colgate Turns Away Rensselaer Rally
TROY, N.Y. — The Colgate Raiders spoiled Senior Night for Rensselaer, holding off a tenacious late rush by the Engineers to earn a 3-2 victory on Saturday night at the Houston Field House.
Colgate, which entered the contest in a tie with Brown atop the ECAC, toppled Rensselaer for the third time in the season, taking sole possession of first place with only one weekend remaining in the regular season while assuring itself a first-round bye.
Picked in preseason polls to finish eighth in the conference, the Raiders have an opportunity to win the regular-season crown for the first time since 1990.
"I'm really proud of the way we played tonight," said Colgate head coach Stan Moore. "I don't know if I want to comment on the future. You know my conservative nature. But I'm very proud of the effort we put out tonight."
Colgate jumped on Rensselaer early, scoring in the first minute of the contest. Captain Rob Brown's seeing-eye pass set up Adam Mitchell for an easy one-timer, giving the Raiders a 1-0 lead.
"The first goal that they got, I thought we were in practice because it was a tic-tac-toe play and we weren't very solid defensively in our own end," said Engineer head coach Dan Fridgen. "They certainly exposed that."
Though Rensselaer's Vic Pereira evened the score with a nasty wrist shot high to the glove side of Colgate netminder Steve Silverthorn, the Raiders answered less than two minutes later. Darryl McKinnon took a pass at the side of the net from ECAC points leader Jon Smyth and drove towards Engineer goalie Nathan Marsters. The center's power-play stuff gave his team a 2-1 lead at the end of the opening period.
Smyth made it two consecutive power-play goals when he buried a one-timer on the two-man advantage. Rensselaer, which finished 0-4 on its own chances with the extra attacker, found itself trailing 3-1 thanks to chippy play.
"Their special teams outplayed our special teams tonight," said Fridgen. "Against a team like that we can't put them on the power play as many times as we did. And if you're going to, then you've got to kill it off. I thought we could have created more chances and finished them while we were on the power play."
The Engineers appeared to cut the lead in half midway through the second period when the puck trickled underneath Silverthorn, who was attempting to smother the rubber. But referee Joel Dupree ruled that his whistle had sounded, and disallowed the tally.
"It wasn't what I saw, it was what I heard," explained Moore. "Whistle, goal, no goal. It's essentially that. If the whistle goes and the puck goes in the net, it cannot stand as a goal. If the ref was out of position you could fault that, but I'm on the other side of it."
Meanwhile, Fridgen utilized curt language to voice his displeasure with Dupree's decision.
"Nothing surprises me," he said.
The Engineers emerged from their locker room in the third period on a mission. In front of a large crowd cheering for those who had wowed them for four years, the home team and its veterans did not disappoint.
"As the game wore on and as urgent as it became for us to tie the game up, that's when we started to play some hockey," said Fridgen. "It's just unfortunate for the seniors on their evening that not everyone came to play in that first period."
Rensselaer cut the Colgate lead to 3-2 when defenseman Blake Pickett took advantage of a scrambling Raider defense and blasted in an open rebound goal. The Raiders appeared to be on their heels, surrendering 11 shots in the final frame while generating only four of their own.
"I think we could have made it a 4-1 game at one point in time, but we got it to 3-1," said Moore. "The goal that was scored to make it 3-2 was disappointing. There was poor defensive coverage and we couldn't get the puck out of our zone."
As the clock ticked closer to zeros, however, it appeared that the stingy Colgate defense, while collapsing and giving up possession time, would not lightly provide another prime opportunity.
"We talked about staying underneath the puck without anyone trying to make the home run play," said Moore. "Instilling pride in grit and grind defensive play is a daunting task. Taking what we thought might have been a more offensive night, we ended up finding ourselves being very proud of our defensive efforts. I thoroughly enjoy the grit and grind of a close game like that. I think you learn a lot about yourself as a player and as a team."
In the final minute, Rensselaer threw countless shots towards the Colgate net, only to see them turned aside by Silverthorn. The Raider goaltender fought off the determined Engineer attack to win his 15th game of the year.
"We certainly had the chances out there," said Fridgen. "I thought that they made some big saves when they needed to make the saves, and obviously that was the difference."
Having been swept at home by Cornell and Colgate, Rensselaer must now win on the road against Princeton and Yale to have a shot at a top-four spot in the league.
"I'm not so sure, if you take a look at our road record," Fridgen said of Rensselaer's chances. "We've been playing really well on the road. We've been playing playoff hockey against good hockey teams in Cornell and Colgate. I thought in both instances we didn't have a sense of urgency until we were behind. We need a sense of urgency right from the drop of the puck."
The Raiders, meanwhile, return home to host Clarkson and St. Lawrence in their final action before a much-deserved week off. Colgate needs only two points in its last two games to earn the first seed in the playoffs.

Followers of my blog know that I just was unable to get my photos to this blog during my trip to Africa. Now that I am home and settled a little, I decided that I would create the blog with the pictures either that I took, or that others on the trip took in order to tell the trip's story.
Above: a great shot of those of us leaving from DIA in Denver. We had no idea what was in store for us, LOL. Featured left to right: Koffi holding his daughter Olivia (who did not go), Gavin, Dede, Laura, John and Cassie. In the lower row left to right: Willa, myself and Joanne.
Below: what a joke! Joanne bought these at REI, and you are supposed to take them every so often. I don't know if she took them on the way back, when we really needed them.
The in-flight guide here shows the plane as it was approaching France. It was barely midnight in Denver.
I thought these Delta snack napkins were a little redic.
The one thing I wanted to get while laying over in the Paris airport was chocolate croissants. HERE THEY ARE!!! They were yummy, but so filled with air, that I probably could have eaten all 12 of them pictured here with hardly even a burp!
Raspberry yogurt, to boot. Here it is pictured on a table top that was actually was made to look like it was crumpled up black and white fabric....
Here are Joanne, Cassie and John, excited about their very expensive French snacks. Notice each of them has a chocolate croissant !!
We were at the CDG -- Charles DeGaulle airport. It is a "relatively" new airport, and the architecture quite modern, shown here.
Here is another view of a lounge at Charles DeGaulle airport.
The Charles De Gaulle Airport also had some really modern/cool furniture. Here is Laura, and Emily (who joined us from Seattle) and Joanne lounging around...........
I went shopping for some food to eat. I found this cheese, wrapped in leaves. Although it was fresh, it was quite expensive. Ok, better find something else.
Not much better on this shelf. Confit de canard -- not quite what i had in mind, even though it was quite French. No can opener on me due to the security check......
The terminal we were in had flights to India, Vietnam, China, Africa. By the time we got on our plane to Togo, I was starved. Here is the menu for our in-flight meal. Remember, I did not opt for the expensive meal selection. But, we started with a champagne aperitif, had wine with dinner and cognac for digestive. The meal was great, too!
We landed in Africa. Togo. Dark already at 630 pm. Darn, and it was summertime, when the days are supposed to be long.....Hot, humid. crowded-- at the airport. It reminded me of Mexico. We had our luggage loaded on top of the van......
......and headed to a restaurant that featured 30-40 year old videos of American black singers.....
Since Lome was a port city, i guessed that the fish was fairly safe (no menus). We had some wonderful ginger/orange drink, and a dark beer. The fish was good, if you don't mind the original shape and the bones......
Here was a sign outside the restaurant, taken on the way out. Togo was originally a German colony until the end of WWI, and with their defeat, Togo was transferred to the French. Most people speak French here, but not all. Many speak the tribal language of Awae (not sure of the spelling).Many establishments in Togo seem to have God in their name, as I came to see. The first meal in Africa was very good.........

Bill Nye, the former television personality who became famous as "The Science Guy," took a stance for science and critical thinking Tuesday evening in a debate with Creationist Ken Ham, founder of the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., and espouser of the view that the Bible, Genesis through Revelation, is infallible. As the Associated Press reported (via Yahoo News) Feb. 5, Ham kept reminding the audience that God was the answer to all questions, especially the ones that continue to puzzle scientists -- like the origins of matter, the universe, and everything. Nye pointed out that one's belief in God need not obviate the validity of the scientific method and its findings.
Ham, who believes the Earth is literally 6,000 years old, that God created the planet and the rest of the universe in seven days, and that dinosaurs walked through prehistory with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden (inside that 6,000-year timeline), said during the debate that he the Bible was the word of God and that was where everything started. Ham promotes the idea that science that reports theories and empirical data outside biblical truth is simply wrong.
Nye laid down the argument that there is no credible evidence that the Earth is as young as Ham and other Creationists might think. In fact, geologic core samples and fossil records indicate otherwise.
Ham said that there was a difference between "observational science" and "historical science." True enough, but historical science is unreliable and too often subjective. Observational science, if properly applied, is not interpretive but a reporting of measurable and repeatable
When a question came from the audience -- the debate was held at the Creation Museum in front of over 800 people -- asking for an explanation of atoms and matter, Bill Nye answered that scientists were still searching for the true nature of these phenomena.
Ham's answer was more direct. "Bill, I want to tell you, there is a book that tells where atoms come from, and its starts out, 'In the beginning ...,'" he said.
Ham argued that God created the universe in seven days. Nye countered by saying that teaching closed beliefs like Creationism in schools instead of evolution and science would surely lead to America's demise as a world power.
"If we continue to eschew science ... we are not going to move forward," Nye insisted. "We will not embrace natural laws. We will not make discoveries. We will not invent and innovate and stay ahead."
So who won? That would be difficult to say. CNN's Tom Foreman acted as moderator, the Daily Mail reported, and only stepped in a few times, letting Nye and Ham make their respective arguments.
But Nye made the most salient point of all during the debate when he noted that science and evolution did not have to be the antithesis of religious beliefs. "I just want to remind us all there are billions of people in the world who are deeply religious, who get enriched by the wonderful sense of community by their religion," Nye stated. "But these same people do not embrace the extraordinary view that the Earth is somehow only 6,000 years old."
At the same time, there are others who believe that Ham won the debate simply by garnering publicity for the belief system of Creationism, not to mention driving business to the Creation Museum itself. Although the museum lost money on ticket sales (covering only a fraction of Bill Nye's speaking costs with ticket sales), Ham's organization Answers in Genesis will sell DVDs of the event.
Jerry Coyne, an evolution professor at the University of Chicago, wrote on his blog (per the Associated Press) that "Nye's appearance will be giving money to organizations who try to subvert the mission Nye has had all his life: science education, particularly of kids."
Coyne and others of the same mind think Nye should never have accepted to debate someone whose life's mission has been dismissive of science.
The debate came about as a result of a video posted by Bill Nye in 2012 where he implored parents to not teach their children a worldview driven by Creationist beliefs, noting that it was fine that adults believe the way they do but they should allow their children to study evolution and science. Ham rebutted Nye's video online and subsequent interactions led to the debate being staged in Kentucky.

IRVING - A few years ago, several Dallas Cowboys spent 14 seconds chasing Donovan McNabb all over the backfield, grabbing at air and running after him in vain, only to endure the further humiliation of seeing him cap the scramble with a 60-yard completion.
Eagles at Cowboys
Week 2: Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) at Dallas Cowboys (1-0), 7:30 tonight, Texas Stadium, Irving.
Tuning In: ESPN, KARX (95.7-FM), KGNC (710-AM).
That pretty much sums up the way things have gone between the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles most of this decade.
Philadelphia won the NFC East five times in the six seasons from 2001 to '06. Dallas was back on top last season, but the Eagles still found a way to mess things up for the Cowboys.
After a 12-1 start that included a romp in Philadelphia - a game best remembered for Jason Witten's long rumble after getting his helmet ripped off - the Eagles visited Texas Stadium in mid-December and knocked Dallas off its stride. The Cowboys went 1-3 the rest of the way, with the added embarrassment of becoming the NFC's first No. 1 seed not to win a playoff game since the six-team format began in 1990.
This season opened with Dallas billed as a Super Bowl favorite, and sure looked like it in the opener. Now the Cowboys are heading into their home opener Monday night - and it's against a Philadelphia team that looked great in its opener, too. If McNabb and the Eagles can keep it up, the guys in green might once again be Dallas' biggest obstacle.
"You want them to go away," said longtime Cowboys defensive standout Greg Ellis, chuckling slightly. "But it makes for a good game. People are going to enjoy it."
All week, there's been talk in both cities about a "rivalry renewed." Truth is, both teams have seldom been on the upswing at the same time. We'll have to wait to see if this really is one of those times.
"It's an important game this week is what it is," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "You don't know, everything else, you're dealing with a crystal ball theory, man. You don't know what's going to happen after that. So you prepare yourself to play this one and play the best you can and don't worry about all that other stuff."
He's right, of course. But he also speaks with the confidence of knowing the rematch will be at his place - in the season finale. That's when things really might be tense.
This game is noteworthy because it'll be the 30th and last on a Monday night at Texas Stadium. The Cowboys are leaving the building with the hole in the roof and moving into a $1.1 billion palace in Arlington next fall.
"Hopefully after this game I can say I had great memories in the last game we played at Texas Stadium," joked McNabb, as if he didn't already have that miraculous play from 2005 as a keepsake.
Philadelphia is among the few teams to slow Tony Romo since he burst onto the scene. He's 1-2 against the Eagles, with both losses at home. Last year, his worst performance came in the 10-6 loss at Texas Stadium: 13-of-36 with no touchdowns, three interceptions and four sacks, with a career-low passer rating of 22.2.
Philadelphia is always known for exotic, relentless blitzes, and this time Romo's blockers could include fill-in starter Cory Procter at left guard and, occasionally, rookie running back Felix Jones.

These posts are always my favorite. I get to do a mini-reflection and they serve as fun reminders of what has (or hasn't) changed over the years.
In no particular order, here are my top 10 favorites of 2012.
1. Georgetown University | Leaving Georgetown was bittersweet. While I was absolutely more than ready to venture into the new chapter of my life, I grew so much at Georgetown. There were certainly lots of not-so-fun parts, but on a whole, it was an amazing experience that I wouldn't give back for the world. Senior year was particularly difficult, but I really really enjoyed second semester. I was finally okay with not being on the rowing team. I made new friendships. I had wonderful professors and interesting classes. I think I liked that last semester more than all of the other semesters combined. It was a great way to end my four years, that is for sure.

2. New York City | Is it a coincidence that the city made it on the previous two years' lists as well? No. I have absolutely known I was going to move here after I graduated and to see it come true has been almost like a dream. I had been picturing it for so long that sometimes it's hard to remember that this is my real life!!! I was making trips up here nearly every weekend (a guy may or may not have been a driving force behind this one) and was so ready to just live here. Then there was a brief stint where I was convinced, absolutely convinced, that I did not want to live here (again, a guy may or may not have been a driving force behind this one). But I quickly snapped out of it after a month-long NYC hiatus and found myself applying to jobs in the city. The rest is history...
3. Levo League | It's hard to believe that I was introduced to the company only nine short months ago. It seems like Levo has been a part of my life for, well, a very long time. I can't even begin to describe how amazing the whole experience has been. Trust me when I say that it is a very interesting job for a "first job." Frankly, I cried every night on the way home thinking what had I gotten myself into!!! But, over time, things smoothed out. I figured out my own routine and really made it work. It was really important that I work for a company with a good mission and vision, and Levo League could not be more perfect.
4. IRL | One of the strangest things about being a blogger is that you build friendships online. It may start off with a tweet or two, but then before you know it you're friends. I met so many of these friends in person this year and it has been fantastic. They're just the same– if not better in real life. This is definitely not a conventional way of going about making friends, but it works. I value every single one of my online-turned-offline friendships a great deal.
6. Mexico | This was so out of my family's comfort zone, but we survived the trip and had a blast. We ditched our cell phones and laptops for the entire week. Repelled, cave-dived, and zip-lined liked pros. We ate, drank, and was merry while soaking up (or hiding from, in my case) the sun! It was also my only "spring break trip" because it was the first year I didn't have to attend a crew training trip! Plus, it was great family bonding!!
7. Mumford & Sons | This hardly requires an explanation. I have only recently begun to enjoy music and "play favorites." But let me tell you... Mumford & Sons seriously speaks to me.
8. Pinterest | This was Pinterest's year. Yea, Instagram was pretty awesome too... but Pinterest nailed it. It's one of my blog's #1 traffic drivers and it's also one of my #1 time-suckers. (I would say 'time-wasters,' but learning how to make incredible recipes and decorating imaginary houses and shopping with invisible money is pretty much the coolest thing, ever.
9. Photo booths | It all started with the infamous Instagram Photostrips. It got picked up by Martha Stewart, Apartment Therapy, and other pretty awesome sites. Plus, Elana and I have been hunting for photo booths everywhere we go in the city! They're such a fun way to capture memories. And unlike digital cameras, and Instagram for that matter, there are no re-dos! (And those funny, uncensored, captured-in-the-moment shots end up being the best!)
10. J U M P | I wasn't really sure how to title this one, but I think that "jump" sort of captures it. I took so many chances and did things that were way out of my comfort zone this year. Considering my general desire to remain in control of any and all situations I find myself in, I was really proud of myself for doing the things I did. One of which was to be casted on a reality television show. Thank goodness the show was ultimately not picked up by the network, but the experience was C-R-A-Z-Y. I mean, Crazy with a capital C. The whole "casting" process lasted around six months, with dozens of phone interviews, casting reels, and being grilled on super tough personal questions. I also packed my packed my bags and moved to New York City by myself. It was scary, but obviously worth it. I gave a little bit of my heart to someone and it didn't really end well. But it's not the outcome that is most important, it is what I learned about life and what I learned about myself that really was valuable. I wouldn't trade the experience because of everything I learned from it.
2012 is a year that I know I will look back and say was a defining one. I took risks, explored new opportunities, learned so much about myself, grew up in so many ways, and really had a lot of fun.

Through the Branches is a celebration of our connection to all living things in the woods and waters of Michigan. The pictures in this volume were taken spring, summer and autumn at Chippewa Nature Center, the Rifle River State Recreation Area and on a small island in the majestic Au Sable River.
While each flying, walking and growing thing has their own special story to share, I've taken the liberty of adding some thoughts of my own.
My parents first took me camping in a borrowed tent when I was five. From then on, I grew up exploring the woods and fell in love with it. Since 1995, I've worked at Chippewa Nature Center in Midland, Michigan. Our vision is to inspire people to protect the natural world. Whether I'm leading a group backpacking, kayaking, snowshoeing or birding or simply headed off alone in my a solo canoe, I try to be an acute observer of the interconnected web of life, of which we are all a part. Happily, I've gotten in the habit of taking my camera...

The 100th episode of any show is big news and "The Vampire Diaries" fans are waiting anxiously for the much-touted event. On Jan. 21, Wetpaint shared a panoply of teasers from the episode, including info on whether or not Katherine dies. Spoilers ahead so read at your own risk!
Katherine's alleged upcoming death is the biggest speculation. According to executive producer Julie Plec it is definitely a possibility. She said "Death is knocking at the window in the 100th episode, but I'm not going to say if death is successful or with whom." From the promo, it sure does seem like her death is greatly anticipated.
The episode will also include a look back at Katherine's life including "the traumatic night in 1490 when she gave birth to the daughter who was immediately taken from her," according to the synopsis. Others will be recalling some the more scandalous things Katherine has done.
We know for sure that both Aunt Jenna (Sara Canning) and Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan) will be back for the big event. What is unclear is if they will appear in flashback form or something else.
Damon and Elena are going to have another argument about his decision to push her away. Four seasons later and we're still waiting for this couple to get their happy ending.
Putting 2 and 2 together, it seems as if Caroline and Klaus are going to be hooking up in the 100th episode. From the synopsis, Caroline "indulges in a little scandalous behavior." We know Klaus is coming back for the episode and that he will encounter her in the woods. Via an Australian promo floating around the web, Caroline is even seen initiating a kiss with Klaus.
The whole gang is gathered in the Salvatore mansion and they are obviously waiting for Katherine to kick but is there more to it than that?
Executive producer Caroline Dries revealed that Stefan is going to be Katherine's person at the mansion, something she sorely needs since no one else is on her side.
It looks like Elena is finally going to find out about the Stefan/Katherine hook up. According to the synopsis, "Caroline is mortified when she realizes she forgot to fill Elena in on the latest shocking gossip." The hookup certainly fits the bill as shocking gossip.
Again from the synopsis, "Nadia comes up with a frightening plan to protect her mother, and Stefan and Elena are forced to help her." How is she getting the two of them to help her? Does it involve her body swapping plan?
The next episode of "The Vampire Diaries" airs Thursday, Jan. 23 at 8:00 p.m. on the CW. Keep checking back often for more news and updates.

The economy has become a topic of idle conversation like never before. No longer do acquaintances need to begin with the weather or weekend plans when there are major market fluctuations to discuss.
Though dinner planning typically centers around other markets, the economy is having an increasingly wide-spread affect on people's food choices.
It can take a little time to re-orient your food thinking and planning, but these tips make you more creative without limit you too much at all. Here are five characteristics of dollar-saving dinners to incorporate into meal planning:
1. In stock
When taking the time to re-organize (or even just riffle through) kitchen cabinets, you might be shocked at how much food there is. Some could probably get by for at least a month or two on what is already in their kitchen – even longer if you add in a farm share. When you plan out menus for dinner, force yourself to base what you're cooking around what you already have. Not only is this saving dollars, but tons of time on shopping and menu-planning.
2. From scratch
Forbes magazine recently put out an article on the cost of laziness. Buying prepared or pre-packaged food in the grocery store or from a restaurant is probably one of the most clear ways that most Americans are letting go of large chunks of unnecessary change. You can put together a tasty and exotic Indian dinner using rice lentils from the pantry and some vegetables from the freezer without spending ANY money. With mixes from the grocery store or prepared items for a nearly restaurant, that same meal would have easily come to $25 – $60 dollars.
3. In season
"In season" also means "in abundance." For the month or so when strawberries and blueberries are ready, they crowd the shelves and bins of New England groceries at almost half the regular price, and lucky folks return from berry picking with huge flats of berries for only ten or twenty dollars (that same amount would probably run your $40+ at the store). Even just driving along major routes outside the city (not route 2 or 95, but roads like route 9 or 20) will turn up innumerable road-side produce stands hawking freshly picked berries, corn, squash and even home-baked pies! Knowing what produce, mushrooms, and even which fish and meat are in season will help you take advantage of the increased supply that is flooding the market and lowering prices.
4. In bulk
Though it can be very artful and satisfying to make beautiful individual portions of garnished soups or fish cooked in parchment, it clearly takes more time. Somewhat surprisingly, these individualized dishes also cost more money. It is much cheaper and faster to get a large cut of meat or fish (on sale or from the nearest store), than individual, equally-sized portions, and you save on those fancier garnish items. The extra bonus: yummy leftovers will save you from buying lunch or dinner out the next day.
5. Meat-less
No, this is not because Oprah just profiled the meat industry in Food, Inc. Meat is a luxury and it is expensive. It has been since the dawn of hunting and currency (respectively). However, we as a society have become so used to eating meat every day, sometimes with several meals, that we has largely lost consciousness of this concept. As far as proteins go, you can make an equal sized portion of lentil for pennies on the dollar compared with meat. Even eggs are a much more economical option. You may gasp at the thought of preparing a vegetarian meal or think that your guests might grumble at the lack of a meat dish. But when the food is elegantly and deliciously prepared, you'll be surprised how likely it is that they won't even notice.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Following a successful 2011-12 season, the Arizona men's and women's swimming and diving teams open the 2012-13 campaign by hosting Hawai'i on Friday and Saturday at the Hillenbrand Aquatics Center. Friday's action will kick off at 2 p.m. followed by a 10 a.m. start on Saturday.
The Cats will look to build off their many accomplishments from Head Coach Eric Hansen's first season in 2012. The men's team earned a fourth place team finish at the NCAA Championship, while earning five individual national titles. The team of Adam Small, Mitchell Friedemann, Kevin Cordes and Giles Smith won the NCAA title in the 200 medley relay, while Austen Thompson (400 IM), Cordes (100 breast), Cory Chitwood (200 back) and Ben Grado (platform diving) each earned NCAA Championships as well.
His team garnered two American Records during the championship (Kevin Cordes in the 100 yard breaststroke and the 200 Medley Relay). Friedemann, Cordes and Smith will return to the team this season in addition to 2012 All-Americans Tommy Gutman, Woody Joye, Carl Mickelson, Matt Barber and Michael Sheppard.
Meanwhile, the women's team earned a fifth place showing at the NCAA Championships. The women's team returns All-Americans Margo Geer, Kait Flederbach, Samantha Pickens, Ellyn Baumgardner, Lauren Smart, Chelsey Salli and Monica Drake. Geer posted a team-high seven All-American honors, while recording a new school record in the 100 freestyle.
In total, the men and women combined for 26 All-America Team honors. The men's team returns 21 members from last year's team and welcome 10 newcomers. The women return 14 from last season's squad, while adding seven newcomers.
Last season, the Arizona men went undefeated in dual meets, including wins over five teams ranked in the top 15. The women posted a 9-4 overall record.
About Hawai'i
Hawaii already got its season underway with a sweep over BYU (Oct. 5-6). Senior Luca Mazzurana and sophomore Jasmine Alkhaldi both earned Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Athlete of the Week honors.
Mazzurana swept the butterfly events for the Warriors, while Alkhaldi posted first place finishes in the 200 and 100 freestyle. She also swam in four winning relay events to lead the Wahine a landslide victory over the weekend.
Senior Taylor Ritenberg also led the women winning three individual events in the 100 and 200 breaststroke and 200 IM.

GE Announces Industrial Service Technologies to Help Airlines, Railroads, Hospitals, Manufacturing and Energy Companies Increase Productivity and Reduce Costs
- Potential to eliminate $150B in waste across major industries by connecting machines and the Internet
- Nine new technologies and services introduced to create optimized networks, plants and facilities, and assets
- New joint venture with Accenture announced to improve airline travel with new "predict and prevent" aircraft maintenance technology
Minds+Machines 2012 – GE (NYSE: GE) today announced nine new industrial service technologies and a joint venture with Accenture that will help drive a productivity revolution and transform global industries. Combining product diagnostics software and analytics, these technologies will connect machines to machines, machines to people, and machines to business operations allowing airlines, railroads, hospitals, manufacturing and energy companies to operate more efficiently, reduce costs, and potentially eliminate $150 billion in waste across major industries.
The nine new intelligent services will expand GE's Industrial Internet technologies and deliver four categories of outcomes and benefits to customers including optimized networks, optimized plants and facilities, optimized assets and service quality and productivity. The new technologies, available today, cross major industries, including energy, oil & gas, healthcare, aviation, rail, and manufacturing.
Additionally, as part of GE's $1 billion overall investment into new service offerings and support for emerging business models announced last year, GE Aviation and Accenture today announced a new joint venture, Taleris™, which will provide airlines and cargo carriers around the world services to improve a plane's efficiency by using aircraft performance data, prognostics, recovery and planning.
GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt said, "The Industrial Internet is revolutionizing the services we provide our customers, helping them become more efficient and productive. GE will leverage our $150 billion services backlog to develop technologies that improve the performance of our industrial products and grow our dollars per installed base 4-5% annually."
According to findings of a new GE report, "Industrial Internet: Pushing the Boundaries of Minds and Machines," the power of 1% efficiency across industries is substantial savings. For example, over 15 years, just 1% fuel savings in the energy industry could save $66 billion, 1% fuel savings in aviation could yield more than $30 billion in savings and in healthcare, 1% of efficiency gained would mean $63 billion in global healthcare savings.
"The internet has changed the way we consume information and talk with each other, but now it can do more. By connecting intelligent machines to each other and ultimately to people, and by combining software and big data analytics, we can push the boundaries of physical and material sciences to change the way the world works," Immelt said. "GE plans to launch 20 new additional Industrial service technologies in 2013 to continue to drive this productivity revolution."
The products being announced today include:
Optimized Networks
GE networks all the active parts of our customers' businesses, from assets and operations to the people who make everything run. This will minimize complexity and eliminate waste, allowing customers to fulfill the business mission better.
