UNO English 1156: Doreen Piano (Writing Assignment)
Developmental Writing
Since Spring 2006, Doreen Piano and Celeste Del Russo have collected student writing and instructor materials generated in writing classrooms at the University of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The collected materials known as the Writing After Katrina Archive Project (WAKAP)reflect not only students' experiences of the unfolding tragedy but also their engagement with social and political issues that arose after the flood. Examples of student writing include personal narratives the evacuation experience, post-Katrina life, essays about places in New Orleans, about whether or not New Orleans should be saved; Katrina-related interview papers, Katrina anniversary observations, poems and nonfiction essays. The work was mainly produced in first year composition classes but some upper division English classes are represented: poetry, sophomore writing, and sophomore literature. Also a class taught at UM-St. Louis during Fall 2005 is included. Materials in the collection date from Fall 2005-Spring 2010.

People, Privacy and Fear
by Shoshana Bryen June 18, 2013 | American Thinker
The American people often prove to be more sophisticated about themselves, their rights, and their government than they get credit for. Even if they can't enumerate the clauses, most people know the Bill of Rights is designed to restrict the government's ability to curb their speech or religious practice; take their weapons; search their persons or property without a warrant; make them incriminate themselves; deny them a lawyer, a speedy trial, and a jury of their peers; or set excessive bail. Some people know that at least in peacetime, the Army can't live in your house without your permission.

They Voted for a Moderate: Now What?
by Shoshana Bryen June 17, 2013 | Gatestone Institute
The 686 men who expressed their desire to run in Iran's presidential election were whittled down to 8 -- not by primaries, debates and polls, but by the six theologians and six jurists on the Guardian Council. The candidates had to be Iranian-born, over 21, and believe in "God, Islam and the Iranian Constitution." Education, military service and "public service" were also taken into account by the Council. So while much has been made of the differences among them in the West, similarities rule.
It Wasn't an Accident
by Shoshana Bryen June 6, 2013 | Gatestone Institute
Yesterday it was revealed that that the current US ("I've Got Israel's back") administration leaked to the media the specifications for the heretofore-secret US-Israel installation for Israel's Arrow 3 missiles. It was quickly called just another leak from an administration already reeling from leaks; someone apologized. But it was more likely a deliberate decision -- by someone. The constellation of players in the administration now contains a heavy contingent of those determined to bring "peace" to Israel. "Peace" is defined as the creation of the State of Palestine under whatever circumstances they can, and the operative question is how to bring Israel in line.
Wissam Allouche and the Touchy Problem of Immigration
by Shoshana Bryen June 5, 2013 | American Thinker (Bryen)
There are people for whom access to the United States is access to targets, whether human, material, or information targets. They predominantly come from or come through countries of the Middle East in which terrorists live, train, and operate. Until Congress and NGOs are willing to discuss the Wissam Allouches and the problem they present, American security will be compromised.

JPC Senior Director Shoshana Bryen appeared with Jonathan Schanzer, Vice President of FDD on the Middle East Round Table show with Jerry Gordon of The New English Review and Mike Bates on 1330AM WBBY radio. In a wide ranging discussion of Middle East issues, she focused attention on the larger Sunni-Shia war for Islamist supremacy and Russia's decision to support the Shia side, including Syria, for fear of Sunni upheaval in the Caucasus and elsewhere. She also noted that Turkey's financial and political support for Hamas - a U.S. designated terrorist organization - should make it eligible for inclusion in the list of state sponsors of terrorism, but that the administration is unlikely to do more than object quietly.

On Monday, a high-ranking Hamas official called on Hezbollah to withdraw from Syria and focus on fighting Israel. Reports of a rift surfaced after a round of reconciliation talks between Hamas's leadership in Lebanon and local Hezbollah politicians. Hamas's reaction to the violence in Syria shows the deepening divide in the Arab world between mostly Sunni rebels and Shiites loyal to Bashar al-Asad. Both Hezbollah and Hamas help to comprise the self-proclaimed "axis of resistance" against a common enemy, Israel, but relations between the two terrorist organizations continue to deteriorate.

The Taliban launched attacks on two high-profile targets this week in Kabul, Afghanistan aimed at the country's own government and a NATO command center. As Afghan security forces take over the day to day operations from international forces, the Taliban attempts to rattle the public's confidence in the Afghan government. While coalition troops begin their withdrawal from Afghanistan it is difficult to predict how the government in Kabul will fare at the end of 2014.

Syrian rebels temporarily seized control of the Quneitra crossing between Israel and Syria on June 6, spurring Austria to withdraw all of its 380 peacekeepers stationed in the Golan Heights. Vienna attributed its decision to vacate the buffer zone, where international forces have been stationed since the 1974 armistice, to the escalating regional violence. Last Thursday's rebel attack sent the roughly 1,000 UN forces fleeing for their bunkers and injured two peacekeeping troops before the Syrian army recaptured the area.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki visited the northern semi-autonomous area of Iraqi Kurdistan over the weekend. Masoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Regional Government, greeted the Prime Minister in the regional capital of Erbil. Maliki brought high-level Baghdad officials for the first cabinet meeting in the city since the 2003 U.S. led invasion. The UN envoy to Iraq expressed hope that the Prime Minister's visit will help national reconciliation efforts amid growing tensions after the 2011 departure of U.S. troops.
Egyptian Court Sentences Employees of Western NGOs
by Beth Kanopsic June 6, 2013 at 3:14 pm
A Cairo court convicted 43 non-governmental organization (NGO) employees of inciting unrest in Egypt. Government prosecutors brought charges against sixteen Americans, along with a number of Europeans and Egyptians, with 27 of the activists being charged in absentia. Ten months after the toppling of Hosni Mubarak in 2011, the Egyptian police raided several NGOs as part of an investigation into their finances. Authorities accused the pro-democracy groups of working unlawfully within Egypt and receiving illegal funding from abroad. Well respected Freedom House, the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute (NDI), were forced to close in what is being called "a war against Egypt's growing civil society."

Spotting a Killer Before it Strikes
By: Deborah Ferguson/Megan Dobbs
Updated: February 11, 2011
That's what researchers right here in Texas are working on.
Emergency rooms are often the first stop for someone with chest pains. A blood test for a protein called Troponin determines if it's a heart attack.
"This test has been used for a long time and it's usually quite high when people are having a heart attack," Dallas researcher Dr. Amit Khera said.
But doctors in Dallas wanted to know: Is the protein in the blood present when there are no symptoms of heart disease? Researchers at U.T. Southwestern Medical Center took blood samples from thousands of people to get the answer. They found it is there, in much lower levels, and those with it were almost seven times more likely to die within six years from heart disease. The lead researcher calls the test "among the most powerful predictors of death in the general population we've seen so far."
"We know that people still die of heart disease despite all that we know, so any chance we can to find something new to better combat this, that's what we're trying to do," Khera said.
80% of heart disease in women is preventable with a healthy lifestyle. This new test may provide some peace of mind. The new blood test for Troponin is not widely available. U.T. Southwestern researchers say with further study, it could eventually be approved to diagnose heart disease in physician's offices.

PICKENS COUNTY – A Clemson student is dead following an armed robbery in Pickens County on Saturday night.
The Pickens County Coroner, Kandy Kelley, has confirmed that the shooting victim was 23-year-old, Steven Gregory Grich, of Fortmill, S.C.
"It was a home invasion homicide. He was a student and very dedicated to his studies there at the University. He had no ties to anyone that would be associated to this type of behavior so we are still trying to figure out how this happened and why," said Lt. J.B. Kelley of the Pickens County Sheriff's Office.
According to law enforcement officials, three men are believed to be responsible.
"Right now we are looking at what we've been told, and what we are looking for is two black males and one white male," Kelley said.
Lt. Kelley said that the incident took place at an apartment complex in Clemson a little after 8 p.m. and is asking citizens to be on the lookout for the vehicle used by the three suspects.
"What we are looking for is somewhere around a 2005 Dodge Durango four door with black tinted windows and five spoke aluminum wheels," Kelley said.

The American Legion is opposed to any person or persons being in this country illegally, regardless of race, sex, creed, color or national origin. The organization believes the current laws governing immigration should be enforced impartially and equally.
The Legion's Americanism Commission has developed a strategy to address illegal immigration and has made it available to download here. http://www.legion.org/documents/legion/pdf/illegalimmigration.pdf
The guide provides an analysis of the current illegal immigration situation and offers a step-by-step proposal for illegal immigration reform.
The guide is not intended to be a technical manual or an extensive compendium on the many aspects of illegal immigration. The items brought out in it reflect, in the opinion of The American Legion, the more recurring concerns raised in debate on the issues of illegal immigration, whether the debate be within the halls of Congress or among the American people.
Veterans, Once WE have Established a Viable & Efficient Solution, upon this "Infectious Plague" and have it Implemented. WE will see Employment & Job Creation.
Even if it is just the building of Chainlink Fencing. Utilize Current Un-employment & Welfare Recieving Recipients, First as a Labor Pool for Workers. Longest Time = First in Line. Keep the Labor Unions out of the picture and just maybe, it'll perform "Smoothly".
If anyone has been monitoring this issue, with just frequency. It's Obvious the Obama Administration is simply NOT going to Grant any Positive Results, lest any Action. Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano just rendered a Report upon findings of Virtual Fencing. Procrastination Boost Up the Overall Project Cost beyond Efficiency. I lived in Flagstaff, AZ while she was Governor. She didn't do anything for this Issue. DO NOT be MISLEAD by her BS. Present Governor Janice Brewer at least has ARNG Troops Helping.
The US Boreder patrol is a bunch of wannabees and even if they were legimate their hands are tied. Do the calculations and compare the agents we have on the Canadian border to the Mexician border. Their nothing but pimps for Mexico!!
I was reviewing some of the stances the American Legion has on immigration policies. I must agree with most of it, however, when the question came regarding why the American Legion should take a view on this instead of veterans issues, I didn't quite like the answer. Their response was something like;
Veterans members of the American Legion have seen poverty, third world countries, dangerous countries, and lived in those countries or have experienced deployments to those countries....ect... (Therefore, we are more qualified than the mainstream to weigh in on the immigration issue for national security.)
Is this how our troops view the rest of the world? As poverty stricken, poor, dangerous? To be continued...
I hate to say it but I have seen very poor examples of diplomacy regarding U.S. troops from the Canal Zone to the Philippines, Guam, to name a few. A 20 year old, first time away from home all ready heads out on deployment thinking there is no better country in the world like the USA because that is what he's been taught all of his life. Its sad to see a bunch of American GI's hanging out together on U.S. bases instead of getting out and absorbing the culture. Maybe that is why we have become "THE UGLY AMERICAN". I have seen all the above mentioned. Poverty, third world country, danger, but I have seen alot of ignorance, poverty and crime here in the good ole USofA.
I have also seen advanced countries, with its citizens speaking 3-4 languages...(Singapore for instance) and way better advanced health care than ours.
Also, some countries choose to stay a third world country such as Costa Rica and Panama. They prefer the layed back scene and their folks don't migrate. Cont...
Yes we should regain control of our borders and yes something needs to be done about it. I'm sure that the main topic of discussion of illegal immigration stems mostly from MEXICO and neighboring GUATEMALA, HONDURAS, EL SALVADOR. (Most of which use Mexico for crossing into the USA.)
But to catagorize the rest of the "Third World" as being dirty, dangerous, corrupt, poverty stricken, and that alot of American Legion veterans have seemed to have based their opinions in war zones where running water was not available, and food was scarce, such as what you find in Haiti after an earthquake or in Africa after years of conflict is just not really a fair assessment in dealing with illegal immigration.
From an article on cnn regarding "Why Americans don't travel abroad".
Skepticism and ignorance
We buy goods from Sri Lanka and outsource business to India, but when it comes to traveling to these destinations, Americans would rather stick close to home.
"Our culture doesn't emphasize knowledge of the world," Kepnes said. "We're more skeptical of it because we just don't know about it."
Kepnes attributes some of our skepticism to negative media reports about the world. For example, he said that Nicaragua always draws negative connotations because of the political and civil unrest that has been covered in the news.
"When I first left I was very nervous and scared," Kepnes said of traveling to countries like Nicaragua. "What if I'm mugged in Thailand or kidnapped in a hostel?"
Arndt has encountered similar feelings when he travels to lesser-known destinations. Though he is comfortable in his travels, others aren't so convinced.
"Every time I say I'm going somewhere, people assume that it's dirty, they don't have good hospitals, you're going to get sick or raped or robbed," Arndt said. "If you know something about Colombia, it's drug lords, which hasn't been a problem for 20 years, but that's still what people think of."
Arndt pointed out that foreign countries generally don't make it into the media for doing good things, just for natural disasters or bad news.
"I think there's a lot of fears that people have that may be used to justify the fact that they don't go somewhere," he said.
I am glad the American L. disagrees with illegal immigration. It is componded by the several proposals in Congress to cut VA. Benefits. The latest one about our disabled benefits. Congress and unfortuneatly our President thinks it is okay to do NOTHING to prevent or enforce against the millions of illegal invaders into this country that costs the taxpayers BILLIONS in SS fraud, public education fraud, medicare fraud...etc. And yet Congress wants to cut the benefits (or even mention/propose) of Honorable American Veterans and their families that sacraficed for the very freedoms and Sovereignty that all Americans enjoy, including the immigrants that do come to this country legally. EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE STANDING UP AND SHOUTING AGAINST ILLEGAL ENRTY INTO THIS COUNTRY and the very thought of cutting Vet benefits especially while we are on two war fronts should be repelled with the loudest of all voices and the strength of all VET organizations!
The day that all illegal immigrants, I mean Irish, Mexicans, Asians, Italians and many more nationalities leave this country not only will the U.S. be in greater debt because of eliminating cheap labor, but it will no longer be the U.S. as we know it today. In my opinion the strategy guide available by the American Legion is a waste of time. The American legion should focus their attention on other issues such as ending disabled veterans tax and not illegal immigration. Maybe if the goverment is so concerned with illegal immigration they should place all its troops that are overseas at the border with mexico and take care of our country and not others. if the excuse is fighting terrorism overseas, trust me with have plenty of terrorist to worry about, here in the U.S. I hope I did not offend anyone with this post.
I did a double take when I first read the headline for this article. It first looked like it was about a guide for illegal immigrats, like the one the Mexician government or some non-profit was handing out a few years ago.

Aging bridges and roads in the Capital Region will receive much needed repairs, thanks to the New York Works Program. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday that the Capital Region will be getting millions of dollars in funding for the projects. Erin Connolly has more.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- It should be good news for the safety of some 170 thousand commuters who drive local bridges every day.
The Patroon Island Bridge and the Twin Bridges are set for major overhauls. They're two of 17 bridges in the Capital Region getting new state funding.
It's part of 2,000 miles of roads and 110 bridges being repaired statewide. More than $20 million will be put toward the Twin Bridges alone.
Officials estimate it will bring nearly 20,000 jobs statewide.

Dirk: 'I think I'm still about a couple weeks out'
Earl K. Sneed reports from the Dallas Mavericks' Tuesday practice, where Dirk Nowitzki addressed the media for just the second time since arthroscopic knee surgery on Oct. 19.
Practice report (11/20/12)
Dirk: 'I think I'm still about a couple weeks out'
DALLAS — Inching at the bit and not so patiently awaiting his own return to the court, 11-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki addressed the media Tuesday for just the second time since his arthroscopic knee surgery on Oct. 19.
Originally forecasted as a six-week recovery before resuming basketball-related activities, Nowitzki appears to be right on pace to return to working out on the court around that time to his own dismay.
Believing that he could return early from the minor procedure, the 7-footer admitted Tuesday to being slightly disappointed he couldn't cut his absence short while his team continues to play up-and-down basketball without him. Still, with his long-term future in mind, Nowitzki says he will not rush back too soon after missing nine games last season due to soreness around the same ailing right knee.
"Unfortunately not as soon as we all hoped I think," Nowitzki said of his return date. "I think originally the last statement that we put out was that it's gonna take six weeks before I do any basketball activities and unfortunately I tried but I couldn't cut the time down. We just started basically doing a little bit of cardio, in the pool and riding the bike a little bit. I did the elliptical for the first time yesterday in a long time. So, saying all that, I think I'm still about a couple — two weeks — out before even getting on the court — start working out, start running, start shooting. So, that would actually put me right at about six weeks starting to get on the court. By that point, I'm assuming I need a good week or two to get in halfway decent playing shape — running, shooting and doing all sorts of stuff."
He added: "So, I was obviously hoping to cut that time a lot shorter. I think it's been a frustrating time for me here and there, especially watching and nothing I can really do. So there's been some hard days, some frustrating days, but I think now it's gotten better the last couple weeks or so, so now I guess I'm seeing the end of the tunnel. But there was still some frustrating times in the beginning."
That frustration has at times stemmed down to his coach and teammates during the early stage of the season, as the Mavs have gotten off to a 6-6 start without their go-to scorer. And with Nowitzki unable to help as his team fell to a 105-101 overtime loss to Golden State on Monday night to begin a three-game homestand, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle admits that his squad still has work to do in order to make up for the 7-foot void in the lineup until No. 41 returns to the floor.
"Dirk will get there and we know he'll be back at some point, but nobody knows exactly when that's gonna be," Carlisle proclaimed after the Mavs' Tuesday practice. "And so, for now, we've gotta press forward with the guys that we have and we have to take up the slack in some of these areas where we're having some slippage and where we're losing ground.
"He's been pretty positive through the whole thing and it has been frustrating, but I had the same procedure two years ago and I've talked to him a lot about it. He and I have talked about it and there are stages that there are plateaus and then you get to a point and you start having some quantum leaps. So, he's doing all the right things, we've got the best doctor in the league, we've got the best training staff in the league and it will happen when it happens. But it's not gonna happen until he's ready, and we're gonna be vigilant about that."
Note: The Mavs will continue their three-game homestand Wednesday night, welcoming in the New York Knicks. The Knicks handed the Mavericks a 104-94 loss in New York on Nov. 9. The game will air locally at 7:30 p.m. CT on Fox Sports Southwest. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling (214) 747-MAVS (6287) or by visiting Mavs.com.

What Jared is Doing Right Now to Improve Education in California
Jared meets regularly with a wide range of education leaders; he has personally visited almost 100 schools during his six years in the Assembly. The California Superintendents Association named him its 2011 "Legislator of the Year."
He is endorsed by California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, by the California Federation of Teachers (CFT) and the California School Employees Association, as well as by dozens of education leaders throughout the 2nd Congressional District.
A few highlights of Jared's legislative career:
- He has authored or co-authored numerous Assembly bills to increase education funding and provide greater flexibility for local schools.
- He fought to restore education funding lost to Governor Schwarzenegger's draconian budgets in 2008 and 2009.
- He fought successfully to restore home-to-school transportation in rural areas.
- He actively supports Governor Brown's critical revenue initiative to increase funding for all levels of education.
- He is co-authoring legislation to close a billion-dollar corporate tax loophole and use the savings to create a new middle-class scholarship to allow every middle- class family in California the opportunity to send their children to the UC or CSU system.
Education is more than just a campaign issue for Jared.
As the product of public schools, a father of two young children, and the husband of a teacher, Jared cares deeply about education. Jared believes that every American should have the opportunity to receive a quality public education; he also feels that greater investments are needed across the spectrum from pre-K to college. Jared will continue to push for the development of a highly skilled workforce for a clean-energy economy, which is essential to our global economic competitiveness.
Jared supports immigration policies that help to keep our brightest international students working in the United States after getting their degrees. Similarly, Jared regards the DREAM Act as a common-sense investment in keeping our country safer and strengthening our economy by offering legal status to bright young undocumented immigrants who are willing to serve in our military or pursue higher education.
In Congress, Jared will work tirelessly to reform the flawed "No Child Left Behind" act by making it less punitive and more flexible, and by providing federal funding to support federal mandates. A related priority for Jared is securing adequate funding for the IDEA special-education mandate, which must have increased federal funding due to its substantial impact on school budgets.

Aline Mayrisch-de Saint-Hubert
125th anniversary of the birth of Aline MAYRISCH-de SAINT-HUBERT
Aline Mayrisch-de Saint-Hubert was born in Luxembourg on 22nd August 1874. The daughter of an industrialist in the timber business, she married the young engineer Emile Mayrisch in 1894 who, in 1911, was one of the main workers involved in setting up the ARBED of which he became the first general technical director. In 1926 he organised the first international steel agreement, bringing together the iron and steel industries of France, Germany, Belgium, the Saar and Luxembourg.
A passionate lover of art and literature, admirer of Rilke and friend of André Gide, Aline Mayrisch turned the Château de Colpach into a literary salon and meeting place for artists (Théo van Rysselberghe, Charles Despiau, etc.), writers (André Gide, Jacques Rivière, Paul Claudel, Jules Romains, Alexis Curvers, Annette Kolb, Louise Weiss, etc.), philosophers (Bernard Groethuysen, Paul Desjardins, Hermann von Keyserling, Karl Jaspers, etc.) and politicians (Walter Rathenau, Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, Wladimir d'Ormesson, etc.).
She bequeathed the château and most of her wealth to the Luxembourg Red Cross, of which she was Vice-President from 1928 and President from 1933. Aline Mayrisch died on 20th January 1947. In the same year, the château became home to the 'Emile Mayrisch Foundation' and has been used as a convalescent home by the Red Cross since 1949.

The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (I've covered their work before, here) hit NYC on Saturday ahead of Wendy's shareholder meeting to protest the fast food chain's refusal to sign their fair food agreement. The agreement requires that companies pay a penny more per pound of tomatoes purchased, to be paid back to the workers. It's certainly not enough to lift them out of poverty, but it helps.
The CIW's actions are always raucous, joyful and full of music and great art. This one was no exception. Check it:

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Tests
There are no screening tests available for the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. If your doctor suspects that you have rheumatoid arthritis, he may check an anti-citrullinated protein level in your blood to help make an early diagnosis. However, the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is usually determined clinically, based on your symptoms, laboratory, and radiographic findings.

Dee Brown's eloquent, meticulously documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the 19th century uses council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions. Brown allows great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne, and other tribes to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left them demoralized and defeated.
"A wrenching introduction to this history."
Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.
"Very informative, fun to listen to"
Why we think it's a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand's done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared.....
In The Unwinding, George Packer, author of The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq, tells the story of the United States over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. The Unwinding portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation.
From Afghanistan and Pakistan to Yemen, Somalia, and beyond, Scahill speaks to the CIA agents, mercenaries, and elite Special Operations Forces operators who populate the dark side of American war-fighting. He goes deep into al Qaeda-held territory in Yemen and walks the streets of Mogadishu with CIA-backed warlords. We also meet the survivors of US night raids and drone strikes - including families of US citizens targeted for assassination by their own government - who reveal the human consequences of the dirty wars the United States struggles to keep hidden.
"Non political BUT very anti-violence"
It is the 20th century's unrivaled epic: At a staggering price, the United States and its allies liberated Europe and vanquished Hitler. In the first two volumes of his best-selling Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkinson recounted the history of how the American-led coalition fought its way from North Africa and Italy to the threshold of victory. Now he tells the most dramatic story of all - the titanic battle in Western Europe. D-Day marked the commencement of the war's final campaign, and Atkinson's astonishingly fresh account of that enormous gamble sets the pace for the masterly narrative that follows.

Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
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.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 2b: The Whales' Tale
If evolution is true, whales are related to the even-toed hoofed mammals, and there should be transitional fossil forms dating from about 45 to 50 million years ago.
New Limbs from Old Fins, Part 2: Comparative Anatomy
Critics of evolution sometimes portray the theory as an untestable historical conjecture, depicting it as fundamentally different from experimental science in the lab. But the hunt for the earliest tetrapods was an effort to test a hypothesis that had generated a prediction.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
In The Bones
I am a fan of the blog "Jesus Creed." Recently it published an interesting post about the transition from fins to limbs as evidenced by fossils of an organism trapped in sediment 375 million years ago.
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.

IOWA CITY, Iowa --- The University of North Dakota soccer team will return to Grand Forks still in search of its first goal of the 2012 campaign as its opening weekend concluded with a 3-0 shutout loss at Iowa Sunday.
North Dakota felt it showed improvement over the weekend though and will look for its first victory of the season in its home-opener at Bronson Field Friday against Minnesota, Crookston.
"I am proud of the way the team kept competing today," head coach Kristen Gay said. "Our first test against a Big 10 school and we are pleased with the end result. There are still things we need to correct, but mistakes against a team like this will cost you.
"Both keepers came up huge today for us and they saw some action, but the team is proud of the way we didn't back down."
UND goalkeeper Alex Ciaccio (Minnetonka, Minn.) had to be sharp early as she came up with her first save of the game only 16 seconds into match.
The UND goalkeeper couldn't stop Cloe Lacasse's shot in the 21st minute though. Lacasse put the Hawkeyes on the scoreboard with a shot to the low corner from inside the box for her third goal of the early season.
The Hawkeyes would double their lead to take a 2-0 into the break as Brooke Backes placed a shot into into the left corner and back of the net in the 34th minute.
Kristi Hestdalen (Pierre, S.D.) entered the game in net for UND in the second half, but Iowa got out to another quick start and this time converted as Ashley Catrell scored her first goal of the season in the 48th minute and Iowa's first shot of the second half.
North Dakota finished strong with multiple attacks late in the game including a scoring chance by senior Rhaya Ballon (Rogers, Minn.) who recorded a shot on goal.
Iowa recorded 11 shots on goal to UND's 5.
Ballon, Jensen Forbes (Lethbridge, Alberta), Taryn MacMillan (Rosemount, Minn.), Juliette Austin (Simi Valley, Calif.) and Jaymie Jackson (Anchorage, Alaska) tallied UND's shots on goal.
