As a Brighton Beach subway train thundered overhead, a hit man pumped one fatal bullet into the back of Oleg Korataev's head. It took four rounds in the face and chest to finish off another suspected gangster, Yanik Magasayev. Alexandre Graber died thousands of miles away in a hail of automatic gunfire.
Near the Brighton Beach boardwalk, a gunman ambushed Naum Raichel, severely wounding him with three bullets in his chest and stomach. That same day in Germany, Mr. Raichel's brother, Simeon, was beaten into unconsciousness and suffered a brain concussion.
Although the five murder and assault cases occurred this year in New York, Moscow and Berlin, Federal and New York City law-enforcement officials say the crimes have a common root cause. According to the officials, a new wave of callous Russian organized-crime figures, with ties to Brighton Beach and the former republics of the Soviet Union, is responsible for the outburst of violence.
The Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay sections of Brooklyn have been headquarters for a smattering of emigre Russian crime gangs since the 1970's, when the Soviet Union permitted the first of about 300,000 people to emigrate to the United States. But the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 spawned thousands of powerful crime gangs -- collectively known as the Russian mafia -- and some of these groups, officials warn, are establishing bases among emigre communities in the United States, particularly in South Brooklyn.

This No Sugar Added this has proved to be difficult. The first week was terrible. I was OK with the cashew butter instead of peanut butter, but the NSA ketchup did NOT compare to regular. So I cut out ketchup for a couple weeks. I will admit, I cheated a bit the day before Thanksgiving and on Thanksgiving on sweets. It was too hard to be tempted with sweets, so I had a little dessert. But I've gotten right back on it for the rest of the week. No Sugar Added – I feel better not taking in as much sugar as I was. Or think I was. I have a jar full of candy next to me at work and have not had a piece! Go me! I love dessert, and I'll never be one of those people who never ever has it, but I need to look at it like a treat.
I've gained a few lb's (not sure how?) but I'd like to try a new workout plan that incorporates Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer into the mix. How was your Thanksgiving? I made Sweet Potato Potato Salad and Bacon Sweet Potato Cheesecake.
I have a list of things that I can do on any day, that automatically make me feel better and healthier. And when you feel healthy and proud of your choices, your more likely to continue to make healthy choices, right? Here's my list…
6 Little Things That Make Me Feel Unbelievably Healthy (What's On Your List?)
1. Drinking multiple glasses of water at work. Drinking water makes me feel like I am fueling my metabolism and purifying my body. Geesh I sounds like a dork. There are many many benefits to drinking H20.
2. Stretching/yoga – Stretching feels so good on those sore muscles that just need to be relaxed.
3. A hot Epsom salt bath – A hot salt bad sucks the toxins out of the body after a rough week of work and exercising.
4. taking my multivitamin and omega-3
5. the 5 minutes after a workout at the gym when you're walking out, catching your breath, and proud of yourself that you just went and did that thing and are going home after a long day.
6. getting 8 hours of sleep
What makes you feel healthy?

36 Studebaker's For Sale
About Studebaker
The Studebaker company did not begin by creating cars. In its infancy, the Studebaker company designed wagons and buggies. The company was founded in South Bend, IN by Henry and Clement Studebaker on February 16, 1852. They dubbed their company the H & C Studebaker blacksmith shop.
Later on, their younger brothers joined the firm and the name changed to Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company. Soon, the firm became the largest manufacturer of both buggies and wagons.
It wasn't until 1902 that Studebaker began selling its first electric automobile called the Electric Runabout. Earlier, the company had experimented with electric carriages, but the Runabout was Studebaker's first production automobile. This particular car was purchased by Thomas Edison and drove up to 13 miles per hour. The Runabout was offered in five different models and the company sold twenty Runabouts that first year.
In 1911, the company changed its name to The Studebaker Corporation. During the year 1918 and through the next decade, Studebaker created a series of six-cylinder vehicles called the "Big Six" that featured a 60hp engine and was sold as a coupe, sedan or tourer. The company also manufactured a series of 50hp engine cars called the "Special Six" series which cost less.
For consumers who could afford neither series, the Studebaker Corporation created a lower priced series of automobiles called the "Light Sixes". These less expensive cars boasted a 40hp engine. By 1920, the company had ceased manufacturing buggies and wagons and focused on creating automobiles.
The arrival of the Great Depression brought about economic struggles for the company, but new Vice Presidents, Paul Hoffman and Harold Vance became the company receivers in 1933. Their leadership role within the company helped to save the auto manufacturer during those difficult times.
Studebaker automobiles sold during the 1930s include the President Eight State Brougham, the Studebaker Rockne, the Studebaker Commander and the Studebaker Champion. Interestingly, the Studebaker Champion was introduced in 1939 and helped the company break free from low record sales brought about by the Great Depression. The Studebaker Champion was a huge success, returning Studebaker to its position as the largest independent vehicle manufacturer in the world.
The arrival of the 1950s ushered in a new style of cars created by Studebaker. These cars featured a "bullet nose" body design. In 1951, Studebaker introduced a V8 engine as well. One car sold during this time period was the V8 Commander Starliner. The car was introduced to the public in 1952, coinciding with Studebaker's 100-year anniversary. The 1953 Commander was known for its graceful lines and was aerodynamic and sleek. The media praised the car for its European styling and classic appearance.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Five Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight President Obama Afghanistan -- lot that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo at 4 AM Afghan time.
The president told the world that the United States and Afghanistan remain strong allies in the fight against the Taliban and terror in general.
Today marks one year anniversary of bin Laden's death at the hands of US Navy SEALs and the president did a good thing.
By going into the war zone showing the world that US power is firmly intact.
Also his appearance there brings attention to the death of them -- and sends a message that America will not tolerate terrorist attacks.
But perhaps most importantly the commander in chief rally the troops.
Time and again may have answered the call to serve in distant and dangerous places.
In an age when so many institutions have come up short.
These Americans stood tall.
And they have US and NATO forces have done an outstanding job and god forsaken place.
But back home the president has ginned up a controversy over the death of bin Laden and here.
Obama has made a major mistake.
It all began with a political act which path would Mitt Romney if taken.
Mitt Romney criticized Barack Obama for vowing to strike al-Qaeda targets inside Pakistan if necessary.
I just recommend that are right take a look at people's previous statements in terms of whether they thought it was appropriate to go in Pakistan.
Take out bin Laden.
So mr.
Obama implying.
That Mitt Romney might not have had the guts.
To kill -- line.
Pretty strong stuff that may be unfair.
Here's the governor said on August 5 2007 when he answered a debate question about going into a foreign country to kill terrorists.
America always maintains our options do whatever we think -- in the best interest of America but we don't get out go out and say.
It ladies and gentlemen to Germany if ever there was a problem in your country we didn't think you -- in the right thing we reserve the right to commit to get them out.
We we don't say those things we keep our options quiet.
Now I think fair minded Americans know -- misstatement so long way a long way from saying he would not go into another country to get the Mott.
So the question then becomes.
Is mr.
Obama exploiting.
The death.
A bin Laden for political purposes.
Only you can make that call but I can set I think what the president has done as a huge campaign mistake.
Last night on the -- Senator John McCain was furious over the way mr.
Obama attacked mr.
Supporters of the president will see it differently of course but independence.
Might thing.
What the president has done falls into the cheap shot category.
And cement.

Women, men and in between
June 12th, 2013 by Randy LeoAfter watching a TV documentary about this, I got compelled to write my thoughts.
There's no such answer to who is the better sex, because we men have 50% of what women don't have and women have 50% of what men don't have.
Both men and women can be dominant and both men and women can be submissive.
We tend to view women as thinking more verbally (words are more true for them), having stronger feelings than men, and working dominance more indirectly, through associating with dominant people and subtle positioning. Women feel connectedness through communicating (talking things through).
Men supposedly think spatially, have weaker feelings than women, and work dominance more directly. Men feel connectedness through doing things together.
Although there are so many exceptions to these observations it almost renders them worthless.
There's more important differences, though – for describing society, a very important difference is that men have a wider intelligence distribution than women. Which means, there are more dumb men than women – and there are more smart men than women. With women intelligence tend to distribute slightly more similar to the bell curve.
I believe women both prefer and are attracted to men who care what women like. Whether that means ensuring that she's pleased during sex, respecting her social contracts, or paying careful attention to what she is communicating.
There are infinite resources by experts backing this claim up. In fact, the term "rapport" we hear so often means to have an understanding of the other person's reality.
Understanding a woman's need to be perceived a certain way and understanding the void she wants to be filled as the key part of his whole model for seducing her, and getting her back to you. In Text your ex back they actually talks about this in details.
Women not liking men who care if women like them is a different story. Confusing? See it this way: Women like men who have a strong sense of self.
As a caveat : We must also assume that the men women are mostly attracted too have good communication skills (listening, speaking, body-language), have at the very least a decent quality social network and project high status.
If we were to use this logic we could assume that a "guy A" doesn't care what women think. He has poor hygiene, lacks communication skills and generally is nerdy. This guy may not have much desire to get women and therefore doesn't really care what women think.
He is not attractive.
I'm assuming rather that women like men who have some degree of indifference which stems from confidence in themselves. In this case – yes, a lot of the time indifference can be very attractive. It lends itself an aura of mystery.
For the original statement to hold up – we have to assume that the guy already possesses a lot of skills to start – but even then the statement is somewhat misleading.
'Like' and 'Attraction' to me are not exactly synonymous.
Women may be attracted to guys who don't show interest, but in the long run of successful relationship building men need to have a heart and actually care what women 'like.'
Summed up: Indifference can definitely be attractive (assuming the guy has something to back it up with i.e. other things that make him attractive), but in a grander scheme you will go further if you actually pay attention to what your women like.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A four-alarm fire roared from the roof of Pier 29, the future site of the America's Cup yacht race, along San Francisco's famed Embarcadero waterfront on Wednesday, but no injuries were reported.
More than 100 firefighters were dispatched to the scene of the blaze, which erupted shortly before 2 p.m. local time and sent flames shooting through the top of the vacant three-story terminal building, fire department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said.
The cause of the blaze was not immediately known, but Talmadge said the building had been under construction in preparation for hosting the 2013 America's Cup competition. She said the blaze did not appear to be of suspicious origins.
Within an hour, a major portion of the roof had collapsed and large chunks of the building's front archway had crumbled to the ground, as a plume of thick, gray smoke billowed into the clear blue skies over San Francisco Bay.
A crowd of onlookers and shoppers from nearby Fisherman's Wharf gathered to watch the dramatic blaze. Firefighters trained large streams of water on the building from water cannons mounted on several fire trucks to douse the flames.
The blaze was contained by 3:30 p.m., fire officials said.
A city transit official said trolley service along the Embarcadero had to be suspended because of emergency vehicle traffic in the vicinity of the tracks.

LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- When Lions Club members gather September 19-21 for the USA/Canada Lions Leadership Forum in Kansas, PediaVision will be among the exhibitors at the Overland Park Convention Center (booth #214). The company will demonstrate how its Spot vision screener bolsters Lions eye health programs and commend those using the device, particularly District 4C1 in Northern California and its Enterprise Lions Club, the first club to offer Spot screenings in California.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130920/PH83413LOGO )
Before District Governor Coy Moody initiated the purchase of a Spot device in early 2012, Enterprise club members infrequently assisted school nurses with exams using the traditional eye chart. Helen Garr, a member of the Enterprise Club, agreed to chair the newly formed District Screening Committee and began offering screenings to schools.
"One nurse had an eighth grade class that she couldn't get to within her established time frame," said Garr. "We screened those 98 students in less than two hours." Schools are now contacting Garr to schedule more screenings.
The district also performs screenings at community events such as Project Homeless Connect, which gives homeless people access to resources, including eye care. "An ophthalmologist performs eye exams and makes eyeglasses," said Garr. "We do initial screenings, and the ophthalmologist uses our printouts."
Project Homeless Connect was the launching pad for yet another initiative. Garr met the local Head Start director at the event, and as a result, the Enterprise club conducted a trial screening with one class in August. The director was so thrilled with the results that she immediately gave them a list of additional classes. By October 16, the district will have held 32 screening events for Head Start.
The District Health Foundation and LCIF recently purchased three additional Spot devices. "They'll be doing even more throughout the area and they're offering guidance to other clubs," said PediaVision vice president Jeff Mortensen. "It's very gratifying to have been a part of this project from its inception and to see how far it's come."
About PediaVision
PediaVision, inventor of the award winning Spot vision screener, is dedicated to solving the vital health issue of undiagnosed vision problems and transforming the lives of thousands of children each day. A child with an undetected or untreated vision problem is more likely to develop social or emotional problems [1]. Thus, a child's vision problems can affect not only their own learning, but also that of their peers. PediaVision is committed to assisting children in reaching their full potential by providing an objective and accurate vision-screening device for public and private healthcare providers.
Supported by ophthalmologists, optometrists, scientists and leading technology innovators, the Spot vision screener is a breakthrough technology and represents what vision screening should be. For more information, including how to order Spot, please visit www.pediavision.com.

Valentine's Day is a time for romance -- a time for love -- which, human nature being what it is, sometimes leads to hurt, jealousy -- and war. And, as luck would have it, symbols of love and war put on a nice display in tonight's sky.
The symbols are the Moon and Mars. They're high overhead at nightfall, and slide down the western sky later on. Mars looks like a bright orange star well to the east of the Moon.
The Moon, of course, represents love. It's inspired poets, musicians, and many others to compose odes to love, and to their loved ones.
In Greek mythology, the Moon represented the goddess Selene, who had many love affairs. Her greatest love was the shepherd Endymion. She seduced him, then cast a spell so that he would never age, but would sleep forever. Her rays "kiss" him every night.
Mars, on the other hand, is the Roman version of Ares, the Greek god of war. Early skywatchers named the planet because of its reddish color, which reminded them of blood -- and battle. Ares was a fearless leader of men, but the war god became especially bloody in Roman mythology -- a take-no-prisoners kind of guy who fought some gory battles.
So love and war mingle with each other in tonight's Valentine sky. Look for them high overhead in early evening, and low in the northwest in the wee hours of the morning. The Moon sets first, around 2:30 or 3, with Mars following about an hour later.
We'll have more about Mars and the Moon tomorrow.

Did nintendo really just shut down Swapnote because some f*ckasses sent picture of their penis over the spotpass?
Seriously nintendo? This is unacceptable. Why can't you just ban the idiots that did that?
Oh right, your machines are not account-based so you can't ban people.
I've been supporter of Iwata for a long time, even with Wii U, but this has gone too far. Nintendo, fix your internet system, or don't even bother making any features for it. Because this isn't acceptable. What is this, 90s? Hell, even 90s had internet accounts. How can anyone in Nintendo even think this is "alright"? This sh*t doesn't even work properly. Hell, even Game Freak got tired of your bullsh*t and they are now trying to make it account-based with Global Link.
Contrary to what you believe, Nintendo, casuals DO have the brain capacity to make simple internet accounts. You know, we are talking about the same casuals that have like 2 or 3 secret facebook/twitter accounts that they use to talk behind their friends. Seriously.
I heard American levels in Modern Warfare 2 is pretty accurate depiction of Detroit when it's not all crazy and hectic.
F*ck the scores
Read the review. Review makes it sound like it's still a great game. Just same as Arkham City. I remember people buying Harley Quinn's revenge just because it was more Arkham City. Well, Origin seems to be more Arkham City, but bigger, so what's the problem.
seriously, people who rely on scores only, please. Learn to read English.
The very fact I like chain-kill and counter-kill is because I can dispatch enemies quickly and get on with the stealthy approach. Also, Arkham's combat is extremely fast-paced, but AC has slower, methodical approach to it (at least in Brotherhood).
They should keep it like Brotherhood (don't know what happened in AC3, I still can't figure that combat system out completely -_-)

Great movie. Go see it.
Did you watch it during TIFF?

Not as good as Children of Men, but it still is one of my favourite movies of the year.
And definitely the most impressive visual experience in recent cinema
finally watched Gravity
@PhazonBlazer said:
Fennekins final evolution has really grown on me.
I actually...like the design now...
hippie beauty right there
no one is talking about movies anymore
Are we talking movies? Here's my top 5 list so far
- Place Beyond the Pines (released in theatres this year, so I consider it 2013 movie)
- Snowpiercer
- Star Trek Into Darkness (REALLY close with Snowpiercer, though)
- New World (a Korean gangster film)
- World War Z
By the end of the year however, I presume Gravity, The Counselor, and 12 years a Slave would be somewhere up there. And maybe Blue is the Warmest Colour and the Grandmaster too.
There is no JRPG or WRPG; the only thing that matters is whether it's good or not.

I'm actually more interested in Assassin's Creed 4 now that I'm learning Caribbean histories.
Hopefully they won't go down the path of Pirates of Caribbean, and make everything offensively stupid.
You mean like when Connor singlehandedly freed America? :P
Actually AC3 was not bad in that it at least "tried" to put indigenous people's perspective on the whole American War of Independence. They kinda failed to really hit it home, but yeah. Miles better than that Mel Gibson movie, Patriots.
I am more worried about the representation of the indigenous people in Caribbeans. PotC presented them as cannibals, which is a notion that is generally rejected by a lot of scholars.
Also to what extent they will touch on the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, I don't know. But seeing how it pretty much directly connects to AC's main theme, I wish they shed a light on this topic.
Also, I wouldn't say "free"ing is the right term for American Independence. >.>

The hearts of galaxies are crowded and busy. They contain lots of densely packed stars and big clouds of gas and dust, and they generate strong magnetic fields. And supermassive black holes fling stars around, and occasionally pull a star apart and ingest its gas.
This process is a lot more active in some galaxies than others.
In a galaxy with an "active" nucleus, a continual supply of gas encircles the black hole with a wide, thin disk. The gas is heated to millions of degrees as it spirals close to the black hole. That generates X-rays and ultraviolet light. Magnetic fields funnel some of the gas into powerful jets, which produce radio waves. So the cores of active galaxies are bright and noisy across the entire energy spectrum.
A survey a couple of years ago by an X-ray satellite found that there are about 200 active galaxies within 400 million light-years -- a tiny fraction of the total number of galaxies.
Supermassive black holes probably inhabit the hearts of most all of the galaxies. But in most galaxies, they're quiet; they have little or no gas around them, so they produce almost no energy. That includes our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The black hole at its heart is about three million times as massive as the Sun. It occasionally flickers a little, but most of the time, it sits quietly -- a dark blob in the busy heart of a galaxy.
We'll have more about black holes tomorrow.

The Bachelor of Science degree Technology major consists of Technology, Construction Management and Technology Education Licensure.
Students receiving a Bachelor of Science degree Technology major in the College of Technology will be technologically literate and competent to support, utilize and manage complex technological systems. Those graduates who choose to be educators (i.e.: Technology Education Licensure Concentration) will guide students toward technological literacy in accordance with adopted national and state guidelines, and standards for licensure.
The Bachelor of Science degree Technology major with no concentration, is a management oriented technical curriculum built upon a balanced program of studies drawn from a variety of disciplines related to manufacturing and industrial technology. Included are a strong knowledge and understanding of materials and production processes and proficiency in design and computer aided manufacturing. These technical skills are combined with principles of quality and management a proficiency in physical sciences and mathematics along with a broad based liberal education.
The objective of the BS Technology is to prepare students for professional careers in Manufacturing and Industrial technology
The Bachelor of Science degree Technology major Construction Management concentration is a management oriented technical curriculum built upon a balanced program of studies drawn from a variety of disciplines related to construction management. Included are a strong knowledge and understanding of construction safety, document reading, estimating, and scheduling.
The construction management concentration is a professional-service approach that applies effective management techniques to the planning design. The concentration includes construction of a project from inception to completion, including emphasis on construction materials and methods to enable graduates to estimate costs, schedule work, oversee construction work site activities and manage projects. The presence of major construction firms and large architect/engineering firms in the region provides ample internship opportunities. The migration to green technology emphasis and increasingly sophisticated construction projects require stronger project management emphasis, making this program viable well into the future.
The BS in Technology – Construction Management concentration prepares students for professional careers in the management of construction projects.
The Bachelor of Science degree Technology major Technology Education Licensure concentration prepares technology education teachers, the former industrial arts. Over 70% of each year's graduates secure teaching positions upon graduation, nearly all in Ohio. Graduates are expected to be agents of change to implement contemporary technology curricula for schools wishing and able to implement curricular change. Kent State University's technology education graduates are licensed to teach grades 4-12, although most positions are at the middle and high school level. Graduates teach a wide array of courses including computer aided design, manufacturing, Engineering by Design, Project Lead the Way, manufacturing, construction, graphic communication/photography, woods and home maintenance, and STEM.
The objective of the technology education licensure curriculum is to prepare technology education teachers for grades 4-12.
Technology education licensure majors will pass Praxis I and Praxis II while being enrolled as undergraduates. Technology education licensure graduates will possess appropriate technological skills and pedagogical competencies be licensed by the Ohio Department of Education to teach technology education for grades 4-12.

Carola joined Aston Business School in January 2012. The lectureship in Strategy is her first academic post after receiving a PhD from the University of St. Gallen/ Switzerland.
Prior to Aston, Carola spent a year as visiting researcher at the Hanken School of Economics/ Finland funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
Carola's PhD research focused on the role of middle managers in strategic planning processes, for this work she was recently nominated for the William H. Newman Award sponsored by the Academy of Management and received the Dr. Peter-Werhahn-Award for outstanding academic achievements in business studies from the University of St. Gallen/Switzerland.
While continuing her research on strategic planning, research interests are shifting towards strategy as a social practice, including questions of the professionalization of strategy and the role of strategy and concepts such as strategic planning for us as individuals in our professional and personal lives.
2004 - MA equivalent (Maîtrise d'Economie d'Entreprise), University of Rennes/ France
2005 - MA equivalent (Diplom-Kauffrau), University of Augsburg/ Germany
2012 - PhD in Strategy, University of St. Gallen/ Switzerland

Carola's research is located at the intersections of strategy process and strategy-as-practice research. In terms of theory, her work is mostly inspired by sociologically grounded theories such as organizational routines, script theory, role theory and institutional theory. Most of her research applies a qualitative methodology in the tradition of grounded theory. Research designs vary from interview-based comparative case studies to longitudinal studies combining interview and observational data collection methods.

Series: Evolution Basics (35 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.

Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
People who believe in miracles usually don't think of them as God's "breaking" the laws of nature but as God's being constantly attentive to his cosmos.
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.

Thread: Honoring Maiden Name

Honoring Maiden Name
Hello all,
Recently I've been trying to find a way to honor my entire father's family by using my current last name (soon to be my maiden names) in the middle spot. The name is rather uncommon and has the word "Soleil" pronounced right in the middle of it (though spelled differently). My questions to you are:
Is this a good way of using my maiden name? Or should I just stick to the full last name?
Should I use the Soleil spelling? Or go with how it's spelled in my name (Solais)?
Is this a good middle name option in general?
I hope this is clear and thanks for all the help!

I would use your full maiden name in the middle spot.

♀ | I'm taking a break from girls' names at the moment.
March 14th, 2013 01:17 AM #5
I would go with how its spelled in your name, Solais. However, using your full maiden name would probably be fine just the same. I like when people honor their heritage, with a twist or using a name in full. Either way, I think its a great idea.

Ron Paul on secession via Alex Jones
I know it's on Alex Jones, and I know some will poo poo it strictly on those grounds. I once was one of that crowd, but I'm beginning to think he may be more right than wrong on some important stuff.
This argument does make sense. Good article here Ron Paul: The Founders Believed in Secession Secession is what we did when we left England, it was a wonderful thing Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com November 15, 2012 UPDATE: RADIO HOST CALLS FOR SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION Congressman Ron Paul reacted to the secessionist movement sweeping America today by reminding people that the United States seceded from the British empire, while slamming those who suggested their fellow Americans should be deported merely for talking about the idea. In the aftermath of petitions from all 50 states to secede being posted on the White House website and signed by over a million Americans, the secessionist movement has been portrayed as anti-American, unpatriotic and even treasonous. In reality, as Ron Paul has emphasized, it is as American as apple pie and George Washington. Paul updated his thoughts on secession during an appearance on C-Span today, noting how The founders believed in it, theres no prohibition in the Constitution against secession, adding that the union was voluntary and therefore secession was also voluntary under the tenth amendment. They want to put them on a list that theyre committing treason, put them in prison or throw them out of the country what about the First Amendment, asked Paul in response to calls by some on the left to have pro-secessionists deported. The principle of secession is very important, not so much for the purpose of seceding, but the purpose of saying to the federal government if you mistreat us thats what we might consider, said Paul, noting that New England talked about secession in the early 19th century and was not condemned for doing so. Paul explained that the principle was really about states nullifying laws that were anathema to the Constitution. Nullification is the same thing what if states could nullify the law? Look how wonderful it would have been to solve the problem of Obamacare if the states could just nullify the thing and get out of it, so nullification and secession should always be there, said Paul. Secession is what we did when we left England, it was a wonderful thing, said Paul, adding that there were no complaints when eastern European nations seceded from the Communist bloc. Paul concluded by condemning the hysteria generated by those in opposition to people merely for talking about secession and noted that if secession and nullification had been on the table, the federal government would not have grown to its current bloated size. The most popular petition out of all 50 that have been posted on the White House website applies to Texas and reads as follows; The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal governments neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect its citizens standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government. The call for states to secede from the union, one now backed by over a million Americans, is part of a wider disenfranchisement with how the country has been infested and hijacked by a crony political elite and the principles of the founders decimated. As over a million Americans express their disenfranchisement with the federal government by supporting a secessionist movement that has spread like wildfire, it is time to call for a new declaration of independence and a new commitment to restore the Republic in the face of an enemy that has subverted America from within. The United States government has been seized by domestic and foreign banking cartels. This fact is so transparently obvious that talking heads on CNBC now laugh about it. While Americans are being told to brace for tax hikes, spending cuts and a myriad of other austerity measures, the Federal Reserve has been sending trillions of dollars to foreign banks. We are not calling for the states to opt out of the union, we are calling on them to opt out and secede from the new world order power monopoly that is busy destroying everything that was ever good about America. The federal government is supposed to represent the states, but it doesnt, it represents the interests of the political and banking elite who themselves have no allegiance whatsoever to America. Infowars is calling on patriots to start a movement to draft Ron Paul as the head of a brand new effort to restore the Republic, restore the bill of rights and opt out of the counterfeit America the banking elite has subverted and fashioned to serve their own interests. The establishment media is already demonizing the secessionist movement as a rag-tag group of fringe kooks and paranoid racists, when in reality as the Daily Caller uncovered, it is comprised of former Marines, parents, business owners and ordinary mechanics. Meanwhile, Obama supporters and other statists have called on the government to punish those putting their signatures to the secession petitions by having them stripped of their citizenship, deported and exiled. Its time to re-assert the narrative on secession and put it in its proper context, which is not an infantile reaction to the fact that Barack Obama won the election, but an expression of extreme uneasiness at the direction in which the country is heading, a widespread discontent that has been ongoing for long before Obama even took office, and a new commitment calling on states to nullify unconstitutional laws and regulations. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Preamble, Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. Radio Host Calls For Second American Revolution Radio host Alex Jones today called for a second American Revolution led by states who would secede from the federal government and reconstitute the Republic under the terms of the Declaration of Independence, bill of rights and constitution. (Read the transcript here). The call for Americans to rally behind a restoration of the Republic and the bill of rights comes on the back of a burgeoning secessionist movement that has swept the country with residents from all 50 states submitting petitions to the White House calling for states to withdraw from the union and form their own independent governments. The petitions have received a combined number of signatures totaling over a million. During his nationwide broadcast today, Jones laid out the battle plan for secession, emphasizing that states must first secede from the federal government, which has gone rogue, and then use the terms of the Declaration of Independence to restore the Republic, not create a new country. Jones stressed that he was calling for a cultural restoration in the spirit of the bill of rights a newly unified America under the Constitution and not a violent overthrow, noting that it was the states that created the Constitution and the federal government in the first place. Jones noted that the only course to restoring liberty was clear To follow the founding document of the Republic, the Declaration of Independence, wherein it is clearly stated that it is the right and the duty of the American people, when their government becomes destructive and tyrannical, to abolish and reconstitute it in a form that protects our liberties. We are not calling for secession to form new separate countries, we are calling for secession because the states created the Constitution, bill of rights and federal government, and the federal government itself has been hijacked by foreign special interests mainly banking cartels, said Jones. I am calling for people to be educated about how we can secede to restore the Republic, said Jones, warning that the media was attempting to characterize the entire movement as a plot to bring down America when in fact America has already been captured and taken over by the political and financial elite. This is the states putting their foot down and saying we are going to reconstitute the federal government under the bill of rights and constitution, were going to kick out the bureaucrats, the lobbyists, the foreign criminals, and the Federal Reserve who have taken over, explained Jones. The radio host also put the call out for Congressman Ron Paul to head up such a movement and utilize his vast network of grass roots liberty-loving activists to lead the charge, as well as using his contacts in each state to begin the process of secession in the legislature. Harvard constitutional law scholar and adviser to Ron Paul, Edwin Viera appeared on the syndicated radio broadcast and agreed with Alex Jones constitutional battle plan, with the declaration of independence as the centerpiece of legal authority. Ron Pauls former congressional chief of staff and founder of the Von Mises institute, Lew Rockwell also appeared on the special broadcast and concurred with Jones strategy that now is the time to launch our offensive and restore the republic.

"picking your own destruction"?
And, what, pray tell, do you mean by that? Do you not care for Alex Jones because of a specific reason?

Re: Ron Paul on secession via Alex Jones
^^^ I am neutral towards Alex Jones, I just think that he has a business to run and this "secessionist" topic is hot for him right now and he is bringing in the hay while he can and he sees a dog that will hunt for quite a while with this topic...
the result is that it is playing on the emotions of many well intentioned people, who, if they follow through with this idea, will find they will either become a lead catcher or a get a nice vacation in the gray bar hotel... this problem we face right now with Obo will not be solved with secession, it is a moral problem and only when the hearts of the majority of the people change our nation will only continue towards its own destruction, seccession or not... again this is just my opinion |

These jeans look so nice in person, unfortunately they run big. I have quite a few pairs of CE jeans in size 24 and they all fit nicely, so I bought these in 24 as well. They ended up being about an inch too big in the waist and after wearing them for a few hours they become incredibly slouchy. Which is strange considering they are supposed to be skinny jeans - my beatniks fit much more like skinny jeans than these do.

so for years and years ive been on prescription medication for anxiety and im ready to get off. ive gradually lowered my dose to the point where im taking so little that i doubt its actually doing anything (probably just a placebo effect that im 'on medication'), but i think the hardest part is going to be getting completely off. i know exercise, breathing techniques, etc help a lot, but im looking for something to take off that extra little edge as i come off completely and in particularly stressful/anxious times.
the research ive done has listed A LOT of different herbs that help (there are about 5-10 specific ones that show up on every list ive found), but im having a hard time finding which ones, exactly, work best. im not in a position where i can buy 5+ more supplements every month or so, and im trying to figure out which one (or two) would be best, which i havent found, leading me here.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
