NASA now has the best opportunity in a generation to refocus itself on new types of space vehicles that reach into interplanetary space. The greatest barriers to space exploration are not technical but a matter of figuring out how to do more with less. If NASA plans an incremental sequence of technology development and missions of steadily increasing ambition, human spaceflight can break free of low Earth orbit for the first time in 40 years and enter its most exciting era ever. With flexible planning, NASA can forge a path to wander among the wandering stars.

Just saw this on Daily Radar...
I'm almost beginning to feel sorry for FIRAXIS.
Hunt Valley, Maryland (March 14, 2000) Award-winning game designer and industry veteran Douglas Kaufman has joined Big Huge Games to help create the next generation of real-time strategy games. A longtime collaborator of Big Huge Games co-founder Brian Reynolds, Kaufman has been in the games industry for over 20 years, and has garnered acclaim
in virtually every genre of interactive entertainment. A partial list of his credits includes Command, Darklands, Dragonsphere,
Colonization, and Civilization II®. Most recently, Kaufman was a driving creative force behind Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire.
"I'm really excited to have Doug on board with Big Huge Games", said Reynolds. "He and I have a special synergy together that helps create the incredibly addictive quality of our games. He's proven his ability to know what makes a compelling gaming experience, and will play a key role in making sure Big Huge's games will be as fun as they are
realistic and visually stunning.
Kaufman's career began with the publication of his first game, Ace of Aces with Al Leonardi while he was still in college getting his bachelor's degree in General Dramatics. He then moved to West End
Games, where he designed several pen-and-paper titles set in the Star Wars universe. Kaufman also worked on games like Arabian Nights, Kings & Things, and the classic role-playing game Paranoia. In 1990, he moved to Microprose® Software. There, he spearheaded the design on several coin-op and adventure titles before joining Reynolds to create
1993's breakthrough hit Colonization. The duo followed up that success with two more smash titles: Civilization II (1996) and Alpha Centauri(1999).
Headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland, Big Huge Games is creating the next generation of real-time strategy games, with a definitive focus on cutting-edge technology and aimed at mass-market sales. Big Huge Games was formed in February of 2000 by Brian Reynolds, Jason Coleman, Tim Train, and David Inscore.
Just saw this on Daily Radar...
I'm almost beginning to feel sorry for FIRAXIS.
I would be feeling worse for them if they had kept a regular correspondence with Apolyton.
I wonder if they consider the Apolyton community a true representation of the strategy gaming public?
Does firaxis have anyone left besides sid meier? i bet sid meier is going to leave and come to bhg next. .
perhaps they just didn't like the name firaxis anymore, and they just wanted a really wacky way to change the name. .
it sure would be nice if we had people from firaxis talking to us. . screw the PR bullshit, lay it straight with us.
from the firaxis team page, the following (remaining)firaxians worked on civ2
Jeff Briggs - President and CEO
Sid Meier - Chairman and Director of Creative Development
Jerome Atherholt, Artist
Mike Bazzell, Artist
Mike Ely, Producer/Designer
Dave Evans, Director of Software Development
Greg Foertsch, Artist(CivNet actually)
Chris Pine, Programmer
Nick Rusko-Berger, Artist
beyond the civ2 guys though, there are other who worked on smac, so they are not unrelated to civ games...
btw, in the team there are listed 22 people(actually it's 23 with Kaufman(the page is not updated yet)). in the civ3 faq it was mentioned that there were 27 people in firaxis...

the civ3 faq hasn't been updated since Feb. 10th, which is before everyone left, so... they probably do have 22 people.
Poor Firaxis .
They actually might use some Hasbro people (God forbid) to do Civ3.. We'll have to wait and see.
Firaxis cities revolt! BHG influence suspected. Poor Sid, he should not have allowed bribing to be so cheap.
Sometimes change can be good for everybody involved. It must be hard to keep working on TBS when you prefer RTS. If you have key members who aren't really excited about a project, that can drag everybody down.
So as far as Civ3 is concerened, it seems like this shake-up might actually benefit the game. And I'm REALLY looking forward to an awesome TBS. Of course, I'm also looking forward to BHG's first RTS.
Xin Yu -
Uh-oh... rats are really leaving the, um, ship.
So there's only one programmer left. This will delay even Dinos, no matter how succesfully Firaxis can hire new people.
Bye bye Civ3...
Hello CTP2, MOO3 and Galactic Civilizations!
that's a list of only the people who worked in civ2. there are 13 other people in firaxis and probably even more in the quite propable case that they are not list in the team page...
OK, my bad. Firaxis's site lists three programmers (Jason Bestimt, Jeff Morris, Chris Pine).
About these mysterious "other people" not on the team page:
Additionally, this group includes a wide array of talents including musicians, dancers, painters, illustrators, jugglers, fencers -- even the conductor of the Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra
Quote from Firaxis "About Us" page. So no programmers among them, it would seem. More like artistic types.
Doug Kaufman has been removed now from their site, BTW.
I think they should replace the lead programmer of Civ3 with a Mandolin Player.
I must admit though that I have slight difficulties to understand what they are doing with jugglers, fencers and a conductor of mandolin orchestra.
I know it. They perform at the workshop to increase other people's productivity.
In Gamecenter's report on the Doug Kaufman thing today they state that Sid Meier has personally moved to Lead Designer of Civ 3.
Hopefully he'll read the Wishlist too. Sid isn't very famous for listening to fans.
This is quite bad I reckon.
I got reminded that Microprose will be working on Civ3 aswell. So I don't think that all is lost.
I have all the requirements to take the graphic artist job, I would take it, except I live in New Zealand.
I also wanted to say that BHG sounds like a tough job.
They're going to have to wipe out Blizzard (including Warcraft III), in order to live up to their name.
If they don't. They're going to be easily insulted. And known as Bad Huge Games, or Big Hunk of Gunk
There are heaps of names you could come up with to insult them. That's not a good move. The only way you can get past that is to make a BIG HUGE GAME. And it's gonna have to be pretty darn big. Bigger than every game.
Personaly, I don't think they have the *will* to do it.
It's a bad news for civ3, bad news for civ fans, bad news for Firaxis, and maybe good news for Big Huge Games.
Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.
who knows.... maybe someone will leave Big Huge Games in one or two years.
Civilization Fanatics' Center
Personally, I don't think it's that bad.
Colonization is an interesting game, but it doesn't play that well. Civ2 is good, but nevertheless it is evolutionary, not revolutionary. SMAC is much in the same vain as Civ2: an evolutionary decedant of Civ transplanted to another planet.
Maybe Sid can get Steve Barcia (MoO, MoM) on board. That would be way cool.
Well, we've got Microprose working on a civ3, Activision working on CtP2, firaxis working on a civ3 (someday), and Mark_Evereson & Co. working on Clash of Civilizations.
That's FOUR possibilities of having a great sequel to civ2. I'm positive that 1 or more will be good. Most other games should be so lucky.
And who knows? Maybe BHS will release a civ3 RTS... that works. Hey, it could happen.
Theben, isn't Firaxis working with Hasbro, i.e., Microprose, on Civ3?
To quote Imran:
They actually might use some Hasbro people (God forbid) to do Civ3.. We'll have to wait and see.
Maybe that means Civ III will come with a funky console that you put on top of your keyboard, like the Tonka dirt digger software!
Yeah, that could make the Raise/Lower/Level Terrain commands interesting
Maybe they'll change the Elvis to a Slim Whitman playing a mandolin.
Don't mind me--I'm just BUMPing everytihng into veiw...

Police say a 25-year-old charged in the 2011 slaying of a man whose body was found inside a Detroit garage following a fire has turned himself in after a public appeal for information on his whereabouts.
Police announced last week they were looking for Antowan Stitts in the 20-year-old's death, which was discovered Sept. 12, 2011. Police said at the time blood was found outside the garage.
Police say a citizen contacted them about the case Thursday and Stitts turned himself in Friday at a Detroit police precinct. The department says Stitts was arraigned Saturday on a first-degree murder charge. He's jailed pending a Mar. 20 hearing.
A message seeking additional information on the case, including whether Stitts has a lawyer, was sent Monday to a prosecutor's office spokeswoman.

JEFF TIEDEMAN: Laying claim to rhubarb
Sometimes, I have the impression that people around here — and in the Midwest in general — lay special claim to rhubarb. I do.
Sometimes, I have the impression that people around here — and in the Midwest in general — lay special claim to rhubarb. I do.
One of the reasons I thought that is because in Cincinnati, where my stepdaughter Jess Week and her family live, they don't have rhubarb. In fact, when my granddaughter, Naomi, and her boyfriend, Brandon, came for a visit last month, they said as much while we were eating a rhubarb dessert I had prepared from this year's crop.
But on the contrary, despite this proprietary belief some of us have, rhubarb is grown in many areas across the U.S. and the world. (Because of greenhouse production, rhubarb is available year-round.)
I became more aware of this recently after Lillian Elsinga told me her neighbors, Mohammad Khvanin and Farrah Rahman, shared a delicious lamb dish that featured a rhubarb sauce.
Mohammad, a native of Iran, told me the recipe is a modified version of khoresht, a traditional stew that is popular in his homeland. (In Persian cuisines, there are many different khoreshts with several unique ingredients, inincluding spices such as saffron, turmeric and fenugreek, meats including lamb and beef and vegetables like eggplant, peas and okra.)
When I asked Mohammad if he minded passing on his version of the dish, he obliged but replied, "I usually don't use a recipe." Luckily, his wife had one written down.
He said that key to success in making the khoresht was not overcooking the rhubarb, also known as pie plant.
"The rhubarb cooks very fast," Mohammad said. "You can substitute carrots and celery for the rhubarb, but it requires more (cooking) time."
Of course, a lot of people I know are familiar with rhubarb sauce. Some like it on ice cream, while others prefer it plain just like my Grandpa Menard. My mom said he would have it for breakfast every morning this time of year. My grandma called it "spring tonic."
Grandma wasn't that far off. Rhubarb provides a good source of vitamin C, fiber and calcium. However, you should never eat rhubarb leaves, cooked or raw. Eating the leaves can be poisonous because they contain oxalate. This toxin, plus another unknown toxin also found in the leaves, has been reported to cause poisoning when large quantities of raw or cooked leaves are ingested.
I must admit, though, that the idea of using rhubarb in a sauce for meat intrigued me and seemed a bit foreign at first. Then a friend, Pete Hougum, shared a recipe he really liked, one for baked pork loin roast that is served with a warm rhubarb sauce.
I guess this use of rhubarb shouldn't come as a surprise to me. After all, I've seen rhubarb used in all sorts of things — from pies and cakes to jams and spreads to slushes and floats. Some more interesting examples can be found in a recently released cookbook "Rhubarb Renaissance" by Kim Ode (MHS Press, 128 pages, $16.95). Recipes include ones for Rhubarb Corn Fritters, Turkey Tenderloins with RhubarBQ Sauce, Spiced Couscous with Rhubarb and Figs and Chop-Chop Sweet and Sour Stir-fry. (There also are more traditional recipes.)
Rhubarb Festival
Another place I've discovered some unique creations is at the annual Rhubarb Festival at University Lutheran Church in Grand Forks.
The festival, started in 1992 by Pauline Bondy as a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity and the church, is celebrating its 20th anniversary. (Pauline, along with Jo Claire Paulson and Ardella Hefta, is co-chairing the event.) Sponsored by the women of the church, it runs 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 9 at the church. Lunch and crafts will be available.
The main feature of the festival is a double-rhubarb crust pie contest. Judges will be WDAZ's Terry Dullum, Ann Bailey of the Herald and Brenda Gjelsness, a program planner for the Grand Forks County Homemakers Council.
I have to admit, the contest sounds pretty interesting. Next to apple pie, rhubarb pie is one of my favorite desserts.
I wonder if there is room for another judge.

Pet therapy: Man's best friend as healer
Animal-assisted therapy can help healing and lessen depression and fatigue.
By Mayo Clinic staffIs medicine going to the dogs? Yes, but in a good way. Pet therapy is gaining fans in health care and beyond. Find out what's behind this growing trend.
What is pet therapy?
Pet therapy is a broad term that includes animal-assisted therapy and other animal-assisted activities. Animal-assisted therapy is a growing field that uses dogs or other animals to help people recover from or better cope with health problems, such as heart disease, cancer and mental health disorders.
Animal-assisted activities, on the other hand, have a more general purpose, such as providing comfort and enjoyment for nursing home residents.
How does animal-assisted therapy work?
Imagine you're in the hospital. Your doctor mentions the hospital's animal-assisted therapy program and asks if you'd be interested. You say yes, and your doctor arranges for someone to tell you more about the program. Soon after that, an assistance dog and its handler visit your hospital room. They stay for 10 or 15 minutes. You're invited to pet the dog and ask the handler questions.
After the visit, you realize you're smiling. And you feel a little less tired and a bit more optimistic. You can't wait to tell your family all about that charming canine. In fact, you're already looking forward to the dog's next visit.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that our NACC PSW Equivalency Assessments are in place and ready to assist.
Up until recently, individuals with a PSW-type credential earned in Canada but from outside of the Province of Ontario were having difficulties with employment, due to the credential "not being up to the standards".
Some of these individuals were forced to go back to school to repeat some of their training in order to obtain a PSW credential simply because there was not a body that was providing interprovincial equivalency assessments.
If an individual had obtained a PSW-type credential from outside of Canada he or she had the opportunity to have the credentials assessed. For example, World Education Services provides such assessments. However, they do not assess inter-provincial credentials.
With the creation of the Ontario PSW Registry, NACC saw an opportunity to assist such individuals by implementing the NACC Equivalency Assessments. Individuals who have obtained a PSW-type credential in Canada can apply by sending the appropriate documents to NACC, and we will assess the equivalency to the NACC PSW Program Standards.
The NACC PSW Program is one of the three programs in Ontario that have been approved by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care – along with the OCSA and the Public Colleges of Ontario.

Acre 121
Online Reservations
Great food, bustling atmosphere, and the mimosas and bloody marys at brunch are pretty outstanding.
1) Our waitress (Robin) was accomodating, had a great energetic vibe and just overall awesome. 2) The live music was a welcome surprise as we didnt know live music would be featured, they also played classic rock tunes, which is always a plus in my book. 3) the food was perfectly cooked - we had the cheese plate, shrimp and grits and the hanger steak, followed by the kentucky derby pie - everything was on point. 4) We will back again and again - including this weekend to try brunch which we've heard great things about. And, after our first aweaome experience, there's no doubt it will live up to its reputation.
I have a new fav! My fiancee and I went here and had such a great time. Coincidentally, there was a musician playing that night--a nice bonus. The food was the real highlight. Literally everything we both ate was amazing: the fried green tomatoes, the Cajun shrimp po-boy, and the pulled pork sandwich, the sweet potato fries, and cornbread. The blue cheese coleslaw was interesting--not bad, but I'd probably go with a different side next time. A very interesting beer menu had me try a beer I never had before (a Chicago-brew whose name now escapes me) that was recommended by the waitress. I loved it---complex, hoppy, and a bit citrusy. The dining is a bit informal, there is often music there. I'll be going again, sitting outside.
Acre is not sure what it wants to be. BBQ or Southern? Bar or restaurant. And that's why it's great. Great bar atmosphere, great Southern food, and good barbecue too. They have silent movies on sometimes, and Nats games at other times. Brunch is good too - Bloody Mary bar has great fixins. I will say though that the service (especially during brunch) can leave something to be desired (my waitress at this most recent visit was great though), although the bar staff is great. Last thing to mention - they bring in great bands. Rock, bluegrass, jazz, etc. And usually there is no cover.
There aren't many BBQ joints in the city that actually have good Southern Barbeque. I've found the place. The ambience, friendly service, and great food will have me coming back alone and with the family! Big Thumbs up!
We mainly went to see a band we knew of from Philadelphia (Boy Wonder). We arrived at 9pm and ordered dinner. Both had barbeque sandwiches that were very tasty. Band started at 9pm. We stayed till about midnight. Had a great time. Ordered the peanut butter pie during our stay and it was delicious. They make all their own food there. And the guys and girls of the staff... soooo very nice and friendly!!! I can't tell you how welcome they made us feel! They must have a good boss, because when employees are happy they pass it on to their customers. So thanks to our waitress, hostess, and the other employees we interacted with!
Everything we tried was delicious! Can't beat bottomless mimosas in a location so close to a metro stop!
We were looking for a place with BBQ as a main menu staple, and the food here was terrific. We went on a Monday at 7 so it was empty when we arrived and only filled to maybe a third of capacity. We ate right at the bar, had a great bartender/server, food came quickly, and there was a nice beer selection. There are trivia nights and live music on other nights of the week, will definitely go back to see what it's like with a little more activity.

Successful ITU Level 1 Coaching course held in Slovakia
By David Peddie on 15/05/12 at 9:22 pm
A group of ITU coaches came together in Slovakia last weekend to take part in an ITU Level 1 Club & Community Coaching Course.
A total of 20 coaches from three different Europeans nations, Israel, Slovakia and Croatia, attended the course at the Hotel Dom Sportu in the Slovakian capital of Bratislava. The Hotel is the former home of the Slovakian Olympic Committee and now hosts a number of Slovakian Sports Federations.
The course was organized by Zeljko Bijuk (CRO), ITU Development Coordinator for Europe and Jozef Jurasek (SVK), the secretary general of the Slovakian Triathlon Union.
The course included theoretical and practical sessions about Triathlon, based on the ITU's Level 1 club & community coaching manual, which includes information on everything from the swim, bike, run and transitions to the basic nutrition and coaches responsibility.
The participants of the course had a practical opportunity to put into practice their new found knowledge by taking part in an Aquathlon race during the lunch break under the supervision of ITU facilitators Tibor Lehmann and Zsolt Szakaly, both from Hungary, and Zeljko Bijuk.
ITU Development Co-ordinator Zeljko Bijuk said: "The majority of the coaches were young and ambitious coaches, some of them still active triathletes who all share the same enthusiasm to help triathlon reach a higher level in their countries.
"All the coaches involved in the course were eager and keen to gain new knowledge and create networks between themselves which they can take forward. By the end of the course we had all made new friends and many have plans to visit each other for further training camps and races."
Roman Svana of Slovakia said: "The whole course was conducted at the highest level, everything was perfect. I am glad I could participate in the Level 1 Club & Community Coaching Course."

SYRACUSE -- Syracuse University has reached a deal with cable network SNY to increase the school's exposure in the metropolitan New York City area.
The television home of the Mets, Jets and Big East Conference, will provide more than 300 hours of live Syracuse games and replays, classic game re-broadcasts, weekly shows with football coach Doug Marrone, basketball coach Jim Boeheim and lacrosse coach John Desko, and other content.
SNY also will offer more coverage of Syracuse football and basketball on its nightly news.
Syracuse University programming has aired on SNY since the network's debut in 2006. The school is scheduled to play several football games at the new Meadowlands in the next six years.
(Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
Here is a news release from SU Athletics discussing their deal with SNY:
Syracuse University Athletics has enhanced its already expansive media exposure in the metropolitan New York City area with the completion of one of the most comprehensive regional television packages in the country. SNY, TV home of the Mets, Jets and BIG EAST Conference, will provide the Tri-State area and satellite dish subscribers with an unprecedented level of SU programming.
SNY anticipates providing more than 300 hours of live game telecasts and replays, classic game re-broadcasts, the weekly Syracuse Sidelines show with football coach Doug Marrone, basketball coach Jim Boeheim and lacrosse coach John Desko, and other additional content. Additionally, SNY will offer significantly increased coverage of SU football and basketball on its nightly Geico SportsNite news show.
Syracuse University Athletics programming has aired on SNY since the network's debut in 2006. Regional telecasts of Syracuse games and ancillary programming will be available in some 14 million homes throughout the state of New York and on satellite via Direct TV and the Dish Network. Currently scheduled Syracuse Athletics programming coupled with content that is in development would create more than 350 hours exposure for the Orange.
Statewide coverage kicks off Saturday night when the Orange host Maine at the Carrier Dome. The game will be televised live beginning at 7:00 pm by Time Warner Cable Sports in Syracuse and will carried live on SNY and Time Warner cable systems in the Buffalo, Rochester and Albany areas.
"We are excited that we were able to enhance our programming with our great partners at TWC and SNY", said Director of Athletics Dr. Daryl Gross. "We thank them for the opportunity for our partnership to become incredibly global and secure our visibility in NYC and all over the Empire state and the country. We will continue to represent our great state of New York as New York's college team as all of our teams are becoming nationally successful. We look forward to distributing and presenting our teams and brand to the entire Orange nation."
Time Warner Cable Sports in Syracuse expects to offer its subscribers at least 365 hours per year of live game telecasts, game replays, coach's shows and additional programming. In addition to Time Warner's Central New York region, Time Warner cable systems in the Rochester, Buffalo and Albany areas plan to carry all TWCS game telecasts and coach's shows. Syracuse Athletics programming has appeared on Time Warner Cable, and its predecessors Adelphia and Cooke Cable since 1984.
Syracuse University Athletics coverage is also available digitally on the Orange All Access multimedia platform at SUAthletics.com. Last season, more than 3.6 million video clips were viewed by 2.62 million unique visitors. As part of its expanded agreement with the Syracuse University Athletics, Time Warner's Roadrunner customers in Central New York will receive a free subscription to Orange All Access.
On radio, the Syracuse ISP Sports Network stretches throughout the state of New York and beyond, in 23 markets, including AM 970 "The Apple" in New York City, and can also be heard in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont and Connecticut. It airs more than 214 hours of live and previously recorded programming. More than 90,000 Syracuse fans follow the Orange on Facebook. Together, these media platforms form the Orange Empire Network, which blankets the state, country and world with unprecedented coverage of Syracuse University Athletics.

NL East Daily Recap 9-27-09
Filed Under (Daily Recap) by mrose at 9:14 AM on 09-28-2009
Entering our final week of the season and recaps..here we go
Joe Blanton helped the Phillies finally cut some games off their magic number yesterday as he helped them win in Milwaukee 6-5. Blanton(12-7) did not have one of his best games of the year, but went 5.2 innings and allowed seven hits and five runs on 124 pitches for the win. Jimmy Rollins led off with a solo home run and Ryan Howard and Shane Victorino had RBI doubles to put the Phils up 4-0 in the second inning. Ryan Madson got his ninth save of the year but did give up a double to Prince Fielder to make it anothe r stressful game. Check out Phillies Phandom for more on this game and the Phils march to the postseason.
For a while in this one, it looked like the Brewers might be blown out, but in the sixth, they got a bit closer. Matt Gamel, the rookie had a three run home run scoring Cameron and Escobar and Ryan Braun later singled home Corey Hart to make it a one run game. Dave Bush(5-9) was chased after only 4.1 innings of work and giving up nine hits and five runs for the Brewers and taking the loss in this one.
The Braves were looking for a sweep yesterday and some tenth inning heroics helped them get that win 6-3. Brian McCann grounded out to score Nate McLouth to put them ahead 4-3 and then Omar Infante put the insurance runs on with a two run single scoring Martin Prado and Chipper Jones. Mike Gonzalez(5-4) got credit for the win as he pitched the ninth giving up only one hit and Rafael Soriano got his 27th save of the season with a perfect bottom of the tenth inning, check out The Braves Baseball Blog for more on this incredible run by the Braves.
Well, one goo thing in this game was Zimmerman and Willingham hitting back to back home runs in the first inning to put the Nats up early, unfortunately the lead didn't last. Livan Hernandez pitched 6.1 innings allowing three runs on six hits for a solid Livan type start, but MacDougal couldn't hold the tie for the Nats. MacDougal(1-1) gave up two hits and three runs in his one inning of work, sending the Nats to the sweep, check out Centerfield Gate for more.
Pat Misch helped the Mets extract a bit of revenge on the pesky Marlins yesterday, winning 4-0. Pat Misch(2-4) went a full nine innings allowing eight hits and three walks , but no runs as the Mets eliminated the Marlins from the Playoffs, as was done to them the past two seasons. Jeff Francouer continued a solid half season as a Met going 2-5 with two runs scored and a two run home run as well. Check out The Real Dirty Mets Blog for insight on the Mets offseason plans or what they should do at least.
Chris Volstad definitely lost his good stuff this year, and needs to find it in the offense. Volstad(9-13) went only four innings and allowed five hits and three runs with the big blow being the home run to Francouer. Even worse, the Marlins could not manage a run in the game, with Coghlan and Maybin leading the way with two hits, check out FishGuts for the latest on the Marlins.

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
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.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
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.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The conflict does not come from God or nature—we have created the conflict ourselves. Intentionally or not, we often extend science past its natural bounds and use the Bible for questions it does not intend to answer.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
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.
(Needs a summary)
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this series, Mark Mann explores what many of the great Christian theologians and saints of the Church have said about how God speaks in and through God's other great book: Nature, or Creation. Listening to figures from the the 2nd to the 18th centuries,Mann proposes three main points: Christians should think of Scripture and Creation as two "books" that should be read together for understanding the fullness of God's self-revelation; Science is a God-given tool for discerning the handiwork of God in Creation, and is fully compatible with God's Word revealed in Scripture, and therefore, Christians have nothing to fear from science.

Step into Damnation
Some death metal bands are brutal. Funeral Whore are brutes.
Step into Damnation is so one-dimensional and formulaic in its barbarity that it becomes slightly humorous and strangely ominous at the same time. A crushing blend of Dismember, Incantation, and Autopsy (there's none of that kind of stuff out there these days, right?), Funeral Whore reduces old-school death metal to its most primal, uncivilized core. There's none of the hidden nostalgic joy in this music that runs rampant throughout the OSDM explosion. It's just merciless darkness from start to finish.
The songs on Step into Damnation essentially operate in three modes: thunderous thrash rhythms, burly grooves, and doomed slowdowns. They use all three in virtually every track, with little variation in tonality or song structure. Tempos remain in a rumbling mid-pace, just fast enough to avoid the "doom/death" tag while never really striving for any sort of velocity. The drumming is absolutely archaic -- the fills are sloppy and decrepit, and the delivery is about as straightforward as it gets. (Spoiler: there's a lot of thrash beats.) Vocals are a throaty, cavernous growl.
Yes, there's a million bands of this ilk running around these days, so what makes Funeral Whore worth your time? For one, the production on this thing is just about perfect. It's an ideal blend of sounds, equal parts crushing distortion and howling ambience. The bass tone is full and loud, and gives the other instruments a bleak and foreboding backdrop on which to conduct their cryptic rites. You know what's coming whenever the band breaks to introduce yet another storming riff, but it still kills you when it arrives because of how damn heavy the tone is. And while the songwriting may be formulaic, the platter of riffs never once disappointed me. Funeral Whore thankfully avoids relying on too many of the plodding slowdowns I find so tedious about Incantation and their clones, and the slower moments are carefully paced and constructed when they arise. There's some surprisingly atmospheric lead work in play, and the grooves are choppy and direct. Nothing pretentious or overblown at all here. It's working-class death metal that benefits from never trying to be more than exactly that.
Of course, any music this rudimentary in its approach is going to suffer when listening to the album start to finish. There's no doubt that Step into Damnation is best suited to three- to four-song bursts, as listening from front to back can make the repetition a bit too noticeable. But this isn't the kind of album that I'm going to knock too hard for a lack of ambition or variety; it portrays a single sound and idea with enough focus and skill to make it worth the sacrifice. In a style as popular as old-school death metal is right now, it becomes increasingly easy to distinguish between the bands that are generic and the bands that are generic in an unflinchingly kick-ass fashion. Funeral Whore is the latter. Recognize.

That's the setting for the Roger Bennett play "Up The Ladder" which kicks off at QPAC for a short season starting on October 24th, 2012.

The Good Wife - Sneak Peek: How to Begin
The Good Wife Sneak Peek
THE GOOD WIFE is a drama starring Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband's very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail. Pushing aside the betrayal and crushing public humiliation caused by her husband, Peter, Alicia Florrick starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney. As a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, she joins her longtime friend, former law school classmate and firm partner Will Gardner, who is interested in rekindling their former relationship. The firm's top litigator and other partner, Diane Lockhart, likes Alicia's work and her connections so she and Will award her with a full-time associate position following a trial period. Alicia beat out Cary Agos, a clever young attorney who takes a job in the state's attorney's office, now bitter and vengeful. Alicia finds an ally and a friend in Kalinda, the firm's tough and mysterious in-house investigator. Gaining confidence every day, Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed politician's scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her children, 14-year-old Zach and 13-year-old Grace. Now that Peter is back home and planning to run for office again with help from Eli Gold, his cunning image consultant, Alicia continues to redefine herself and her role in her family's life.
As Kalinda continues to pursue her investigation of Damian, she is arrested by a female officer who is in debt to him.
Alicia discusses the her role in the manipulation of Mr. Ashbaugh's will.
As Will prepares to face Alicia in court, he is plagued with memories of their relationship during the events in question.
After Lockhart/Gardner attempts to negotiate an exit contract with Alicia, she receives some surprising news regarding a former client.
When an old client who fancied Alicia leaves her a large sum of money, Will argues that it was her "undue influence" that persuaded Mr. Ashbaugh to unreasonably write her into his will.
Despite being advised against it, Peter attends the Florrick/Agos holiday party, where Eli hears something shocking.
Alicia faces Will and his new hire in court, only to find out who is behind her new firm's furniture disappearance.

Breakthrough: Open Source Firm Official Supplier to British Schools
The British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (Becta), the government body with the mission of "Leading next generation learning," has for the first time included Open Source enterprises on their list of official software and IT service suppliers for the nation's schools.
At the same time, the Becta agency collaborated with the British Office for Government Commerce (OGC) to create a Software for Educational Institutions Framework agreement. The framework will replace the current software licensing scheme with a new one starting in October. Becta selected 12 suppliers for the new framework agreement. Included on this list is Sirius Corporation, a British Open Source solutions provider. Becta will sign formal agreements with the suppliers and British schools are to orient themselves to the new list over the next four years. About £80 million worth of business is expected, "delivering significant savings over what could be achieved via ad-hoc procurement mechanisms."
"The Inquirer" newspaper considers the new Becta suppliers list an "historic UK breakthrough" for Open Source. Mark Taylor, president of Sirius, confirms this assessment. Educational bodies had been reluctant to adopt Open Source solutions while they were absent from the approved list. Now, Taylor says, there is a strong pressure on schools and regional bodies to make their purchasing budgets comply with the new agreement.
Becta had become increasingly skeptical of Microsoft. Beginning of the year, the agency discouraged schools from migrating to Windows Vista. They were also strongly against ISO approval of Microsoft's OOXML document format and recommended the existing Open Document Format (ODF) instead.

A winter/spring webinar series will provide drought planning information and tools to advisors seeking to help Great Plains ranchers better prepare for and respond to drought. The webinars are scheduled from January through May 2013, on the last Wednesday of each month.
What happens from January through May will be really critical, said Lynn Myers, a Sandhills rancher who will be one of the January presenters. For example, it could determine whether there are cattle in the western Sandhills in 2013.
Each one-hour webinar will start at 10 a.m. (CT) with a briefing on current drought status and what to expect in the foreseeable future, followed by a session on a specific topic or tool related to drought planning, and question-and-answer time. The webinars will be led by ranchers and advisors with hands-on experience in drought planning and range management.
Jerry Volesky, a range and forage specialist at the UNL West Central Research and Extension Center in North Platte, Neb., will introduce the series by talking about why ranchers need drought plans: It leads to earlier and more effective management decisions that can have positive economic benefits, he said.
Dates, topics and presenters in the series are:
January 30: Managing Drought Risk on the Ranch: The Planning Process, by Jerry Volesky, Range and Forage Specialist at the UNL West Central Research and Extension Center in North Platte, Nebraska, and Lynn Myers, owner of Tippets-Myers Ranch in western Nebraska.
February 27: Avoiding Analysis Paralysis: Monitoring and Setting Critical Dates for Decision Making During Drought, by Dwayne Rice, Rangeland Management Specialist, NRCS, Kansas; Ted Alexander, owner of Alexander Ranch in south-central Kansas; and Cal Adams, owner of Adams Ranch in north-central Kansas.
March 27: The New Cumulative Forage Reduction (CFR) Index: Assessing Drought Impacts and Planning a Grazing Strategy, by Pat Reece, owner and senior consultant of Prairie Montane Enterprises and Professor Emeritus of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.
April 24: Using a Drought Calculator to Assist Stocking Decisions, Stan Boltz, State Range Management Specialist, NRCS, South Dakota.
May 29: Economic Factors to Weigh in Making Decisions during Drought, by Matt Stockton, Agricultural Economist at the UNL West Central Research and Extension Center in North Platte, Nebraska.
The sessions are free and open to the public. Registration is required to receive the Adobe Connect webinar link. To register, go to http://
More information can be found at the Managing Drought Risk on the Ranch website, at http://

The creative team behind all three is La Corsha Restaurant Partners, which reunites Jeff Trigger, David Bull, Scott Walker and Jeff Rhein, the key players behind the award-winning restoration of the historic Driskill Hotel.

First Floor Retail - Coffee
Visit Caffe Medici
Caffé Medici, an espresso and coffee house with two Austin locations, opened a third location at The Austonian from a storefront on Congress Avenue between Second and Third Streets, serving a growing downtown population. The award-winning coffee shop opened its first store in 2006 in Austin's Clarksville neighborhood. Caffé Medici expanded in 2008, adding a second location on "The Drag" across from the main mall of The University of Texas at Austin.
Occupying 2,200 square feet at the base of The Austonian condominium tower, the downtown location offers coffee, tea, beer, wine and light snacks. The design of the shop, which includes a mezzanine level overlooking Congress Avenue, an open storefront and a freestanding espresso bar, was created by Aaron Vollmer, AIA and Jean Pierre Trou, Associate AIA, of Runa Workshop.
For four years, Caffé Medici owner Michael Vaclav and his team of baristas have focused on elevating the art of making espresso and coffee. Managing the process of making coffee from seed to cup, Caffé Medici participates in direct trade, sourcing coffee from Spicewood, Texas-based coffee importer and roaster Cuvee Coffee. Coffee bar staff participates in regular training with a Caffé Medici macchinesti, who provides continuing education and standards training. Caffé Medici has won a "Best Coffee" Critics Award from The Austin Chronicle and the shop's baristas have competed and won national and international awards.

Visit BerryAustin2go
The restored façade of the historic Brown-Dumas Blacksmith shop is home to the new BerryAustin2go. Native Texan and long time Austinite, Kathy Steele, founded BerryAustin in 2009. After discovering frozen yogurt on a trip to California, Kathy fell in love with the healthy, soft serve goodness. She returned home, inspired to create her own yogurt establishment with a decidedly Austin twist.
The time was right. With two children ready for college and the encouragement of her husband, Jeff Trigger, Kathy gave birth to BerryAustin. With a background in graphic design, she combined her love of art and passion for recycling to create a truly original Austin yogurt establishment.
BerryAustin offers ten low-fat or non-fat flavors of healthy and delicious frozen yogurt that contain live and active cultures. At least one non-dairy sorbet and a no-sugar added yogurt is always available. Most yogurt flavors are gluten free and kosher as well.
BerryAustin is self-serve and pay by the ounce, offering customers an opportunity to create their own custom treat. A wide selection of available toppings is available including assorted fresh fruits and nuts as well as candy and cereal. In addition to frozen yogurt, menu items include fresh yogurt parfaits, smoothies and floats.
Recycling plays an integral part at BerryAustin, repurposing materials whenever possible. In addition to carry out paper cups, BerryAustin offers a green bowl option, which allows customers to use green bowls and metal spoons on site, which are then washed and reused.
BerryAustin offers a fun, family friendly environment offering exceptional customer service and delicious, healthy frozen yogurt for every customer – on every visit.
Visit Urban Wine + Liquor
Urban's aim is to offer the kind of knowledge and expertise you can't find in the typical wine and liquor store. As an independent wine and liquor merchant, they provide an extensive array of unique wine and spirits as well as a rational amount of industry brand staples.
Home automation systems at The Austonian allow residents to manage their environments and communicate with building staff. Using a touchpad or mobile phone, homeowners may, for example, request their vehicle from the valet.
Additional home automation options include whole-home audio controls, thermostats, and home security systems. These features are accessible at home or while away via smartphone. Each home at The Austonian includes audio and video wiring for stereo speakers in the master bedroom, bath, and kitchen; surround sound in the living room and high-definition video in the master bedroom and living room.
A custom, state-of-the-art network that employs 10-gigabit Ethernet technology supports the communications systems and broadband services in each home. This includes cutting-edge voice over IP (VoIP) telecommunication systems. The Austonian public and private networks were designed by technology experts Peter Hanna and Scott Goodwin of Rob6k and Goodwin Consulting, respectively.
Additional automated systems control building settings such as air temperature, lights, water pressure, and the water levels of the swimming pool and whirlpool spa. A networked building management system allows the chief engineer of The Austonian to monitor electrical and mechanical systems, receive alerts, and remotely adjust device settings with the click of a button.

(BPT) - People choose to garden for many reasons: Food is fresher and tastes better. It's a healthy hobby that exercises the body. It saves money. Numerous reports show an increasing number of homeowners are growing their own fruits, vegetables and herbs.
As temperatures cool,�you may think gardening season is over. The good news is with a few strategic tips, you can keep your green thumb going and enjoy a plethora of autumn edibles for months to come. �
Step 1: Select second plantings
Second plantings are the plants you use for the latter part of the gardening season. Late summer is typically the best time to plant these varieties. Call your local extension offices or access information online to find regionalized planting schedules and recommended plant varieties.
The length of the fall season and when the first frost will likely hit are important considerations when selecting second plantings. Keep in mind that fast-maturing vegetables are ideal for fall gardening and they should be planted early enough to reach maturity before the first frost arrives.
Popular second plantings that yield a delicious late fall/early winter harvest include broccoli, lettuce, turnips, collards, carrots, peas, radish, spinach, leeks and beets. Some people even claim root vegetables and cole crops like kale and turnips taste better after the first frost.
Step 2: Prepare your garden space
If you plan to use your current garden space for second plantings, remove the early-season plants that are done producing. Add those plants to your current compost bin or create a new compost pile with easy-to-use, stylish options from Outdoor Essentials. Wood-slate bins blend well with the outdoor aesthetic and the design allows oxygen to circulate and facilitate the composting process.
Next, prepare your garden space. Elevated garden beds are growing in popularity because they look great anywhere in your yard or on your patio, and are easy to move if necessary. Raised garden beds from Outdoor Essentials elevate the plants so gardeners don't have to bend over and risk injury. They are ideal for fall because gardeners can regulate the temperature of raised beds with ease. On hot days, move or add a shade netting to protect plants from the heat; when frost is a threat, cover the entire bed for protection.
While you're getting your hands dirty, fall is the perfect time to plant spring flowering bulbs. A little outdoor work now and you'll be rewarded with beautiful flowers when spring arrives next year.
Step 3: Enjoy the harvest
Tend your garden daily for the best results – it may just need a quick check for pests and proper soil moisture. Typical benefits of late-season gardening include fewer bothersome bugs and the soil has better water retention.
As plants grow, pick the fruits and vegetables and enjoy Mother Nature's bounty. If your plants become crowded, pluck a few out to help remaining plants grow roots and increase the harvest yield. You may be surprised just how many cool months your plants provide you with fresh, delicious produce.
Fall is a great opportunity to keep gardening momentum alive. So get started and decide what second plantings are best for your space. In as little as 30 days you could be eating the freshest, most flavorful vegetables you've ever had, all while under the gorgeous autumn sun.

Now money updates your story we've been following we brought you a little while back congress hasn't taken lightly an attempt by Europe to tax US airlines.
Whether carbon footprint and over the weekend.
The senate unanimously passed a bill against the plan.
Seeing flights in and out of Europe don't have to buy allowances for their carbon emissions.
But will this bill set the stage for a cross Atlantic showdown.
Here to discuss is Shawn Kennedy.
President of global government affairs for airlines and for America thanks so much for joining -- don't have a lot of times -- wanna get right to it.
Does the US government have the jurisdiction.
To stop the EU from doing this from from charging this -- Absolutely -- international bodies in place to the United Nations that the United States could appeal to.
It's really shocking with the EU is trying to do they are trying to put -- tax.
Basically on every passenger that flies into the EU.
Even for emissions and for actions that are occurring in the United States.
-- something that the United States could not due to Europe because we signed a trade agreement saying we wouldn't -- every other country of the world assigned the same agreement.
Yeah the EU would did not sign -- -- folks are hiding behind that but the United States could actually interesting -- this by filing a lawsuit.
No -- I mean in my mind it's total insanity you just flying through Europe's airspace and you get hit with this tax.
I -- that the senate has passed a bill I understand to step in and stop this it's still got to go through the house and be signed by the president what do you think -- -- gonna make it.
-- the legislation it's that the house just passed similar legislation so as the Senate's a number one in near where congress can't agree on anything it's very encouraging that both parties right now agree that this is the wrong approach.
We think that the congress is going to be able to pass legislation after the elections in the so called lame duck cycle.
When duck session and senate bill to the president this the president can act right in the White House connect right now without this legislation we wanna try to give them another tool to make sure they do the right thing.
What strikes -- about this is just the pure stupidity of it because you tax things you want to discourage.
And Europe right now needs tourists more than anything else I mean their economy is her hurting.
The only thing that would help Greece right now is if everybody showed up to -- the Acropolis.
See you wanna tax everybody who might be coming to do just that.
And they were -- going wrong with that.
You're not right now it's remarkable and EU airline tickets right now are most heavily taxed consumer products out there that they -- paid about 20% of deer -- every ticket is in the foreign taxes.
That's more than alcohol tobacco and and firearms which are things -- were trying to which are things that sin taxes yeah and so it's a -- -- consumers.
Yeah yet -- Kennedy thank you so much for coming on and keep us updated on this Europeans to --

Mar 16, 2009 | 11
Worried their country will end up under water as the globe warms and sea ices melt, the government of the Maldives this week announced that the Indian Ocean nation will go carbon neutral by 2020. No part of the chain of 1,200 low-lying islets rises more than six feet (1.8 meters) or so above sea level, leaving the 400,000 inhabitants there at grave risk of rising sea levels and storm surges, environmental journalist Andy Revkin writes today in a New York Times blog.
The Maldives government last year considered setting aside funds from its main biz – tourism – to purchase land from another country, such as India or Sri Lanka, to eventually relocate its populace. Recent reports give urgency to the plan, indicating that sea levels are expected to rise some 3.3 feet (1 meter) by 2100, even faster than predicted in the already dire-sounding Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released in 2007.
