Stylish and useful.
I recently bought a 15" laptop and thought this case would go great with it. I was right! It's a bit big but that's because my laptop is the super slim kind. In any case, it fits right into my tote and it protects my laptop from scratches. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

My partner and I are looking for a guild on the server Darkhaven. We've been playing GW2 for about a month now, maybe a little more, and have one pair of characters at level cap while having moved on to level our second pair to 80. We intend to play a pairing for each race so we'll be around for a while.
As far as we go, he's a little more interested in PvP than I am but we're both big on PvE. We play around his work schedule; generally about 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours at night and on the weekends. I can be found online throughout the day as my schedule permits. We're as reliable as you can be when living with a toddler and sometimes the cats walk on the keyboard.
We're interested in joining a guild to increase the longevity of GW2 for us and to find/make a solid group of friends that we can game with. A guild website or vent/teamspeak server is not required and numbers don't matter; we're looking for friendly people who are helpful and fun to talk to while working on acquiring fancy armor.
Diversity, acceptance, so forth and so on, are pretty important too for the guild - we're a couple of guys with a toddler.
Edit: You can contact either of us in-game at either kbonesetter.1602 or CorporateZombie.1579, if you'd prefer.

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 2:03 PMBy Jeff HensonGrande Prairie
Traffic around the north end Safeway and the Prairie Mall is moving a lot smoother now that ATCO Electric has restored power to traffic lights at a pair of intersections in that area.
The lights at 116th avenue and 99th street, and 115th avenue and 99th street were returned to normal service earlier this afternoon after being knocked off-line when a power pole was knocked over during last night's thunderstorm.
Lights at a third intersection - 105th avenue and 99th street - still do not have power, but ATCO expects that situation will be rectified by later this afternoon.

PENNSYLVANIA -- Pennsylvania residents who have been taking advantage of the state's general assistance program will stop receiving payments this Wednesday.
The program provides cash assistance to around 70,000 Pennsylvanians. It has been helping vulnerable residents, such as senior citizens and the disabled, since the Great Depression, but it lost in the latest budget cuts. Governor Tom Corbett proposed the cut back in February, arguing that eliminating the $200 monthly payments would save the state about $150 million a year.
Officials say those affected by the cut can receive aid through other programs.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Education released the preliminary state report cards for the 650-plus Ohio School systems with Southern Local receiving an "Effective" rating. Southern hit 12 of 15 indicators at the elementary level, and 9 of 11 at Southern High School. As a district the Southern Local School District was 21 of 26.
Southern Local Superintendent Tony Deem said, "We are excited about hitting 21 of 26 indicators and being rated "Effective". We just narrowly missed a couple other indicators and missed one because of a reporting error. Still, we are celebrating this success of our students with great enthusiasm. It's a sign our students are learning, our teachers are teaching well, and we as an organization are doing the right things. "
"Sure," Deem added, "We would like to be perfect. But putting things in perspective, we are still a quality school system and we were among the top schools in our region. Comparatively speaking we were 'Excellent' last year—it's the difference between an A-plus and an A; And we will take the A."
"My expectations were higher," noted Deem, "But we are continuing a record of success. This is a tremendous tribute to our community, to our parents, our students, and to our school system."
The superintendent noted that Southern's performance index dropped slightly because of the "Value Added Component". He explained, "We've maxed out the Value Added piece mainly because we have worked hard for the past five years to achieve student-growth across the testing spans. In many cases over the past few years our teachers achieved more than a year's academic growth in our students and now many students are ahead of where they should be.
"In other words most of our kids have caught up and are on target. Ultimately, that is what we want."
Reflected Administrative Assistant, Scott Wolfe, "This means the Value Added piece isn't as helpful as it once was. When we were behind somewhat (having students below proficient), the growth component was a real boost to the state score. When our students grew, our scores grew. The only way we can move up now is to hit all of the indicators. And that's our goal."
Southern missed one indicator by less than five points, and two others by less than eight points at the elementary level. Kent Wolfe is the Elementary Principal and Daniel Otto the high school principal. Both goal-oriented administrators were pleased with the results, but expressed the desire to be 26-26 for the spring 2013 testing.
The administration wishes to express their appreciation for the great job the staff continues to do.
Likewise, students 'making the grade' or showing significant improvement over last year's scores were rewarded with various incentive trips to Kings Island, Party in the Park, Camden Park, Columbus Zoo and Zoombezi Bay, and a trip to a Cincinnati Reds game. Class trips were dependent on grade level. All students proficient or above earned a Meigs County Fair Pass. Tested grades are grades 3 through 12. The funding for these trips came graciously from the Southern PTO organization.
The new version of the state report card was to roll out this fall, but was delayed until next school year. The standards for which schools are evaluated will be tougher, and as a report issued last spring indicated, most schools will drop in ranking according to the more stringent guidelines.
Deem noted that Southern is working toward maintaining an effective rating, noting that the school principals and curriculum director Tricia McNickle have been working hard to implement the new state standards.
"We are well ahead of the game at the implementation stage compared to some schools that are just now starting to roll out the new curriculum. We are also ahead of the game in achieving our goals in "Race to the Top"," said Deem.
In addition to the many other positive things going on at Southern, the district utilizes a Math Coach (McNickle), Literacy Coach (Meg Guinther), and maintains a full-time parent-resource center operated by Title Secretary and Parent-Coordinator Vicki Northup.
Next year Southern is slated to move into its new High School addition, another exciting development in the community. The state-of-the art building will house grades 9-12 and become part of a more centralized Southern Local Campus all under one roof.
Construction work is "on target" according to Deem, who indicates that the school is slated to be open for the 2013-2014 school year.
"We have a lot of exciting things going on here at Southern. Our board has been supportive of our efforts—it's truly been a team effort from one end of the spectrum to the other."
The Southern Board has purchased Electronic Apple iPads with Educational Apps in lieu of buying workbooks grades K-2. Teachers have been training to best utilize these tools in the classroom.
"The kids love them!" noted Kent Wolfe. "This is going to be a great motivational tool and learning experience."
Otto noted, "We already have two I-pad labs at the high school. They get a lot of use and are a valuable teaching tool."
Plans are in place to have iPads in all classes over the next five years. The board is also continuing the after-school program and in-school intervention program that helped get Southern to "Excellent" status the past couple years. That comes on the heels of disappearing ARRA Money, ED Gov. monies, and no more 21st Century Grant money at the elementary.
"Two pots of money are no longer available and part of the 21st Century grant rubric is based on how well your school performed. It appears perhaps we did too well in this case," concluded Wolfe. "Fortunately, our board has seen that our afterschool program is a necessary program, and I praise them for the support they have provided our students."
"Also, we are still looking for sponsors to get the program operating at the level it once was. We would like to reach a few more kids if we can."
Brenna Call was recently hired to run the afterschool program, and already has completed the year-end data for last year's grants.
Deem concluded, "We have had tough times in the past and worked through them; and we will have some more road bumps along the way, I'm sure. But right now we have some very positive things to celebrate. We as a district want to recognize everyone for the positive things they do every day and build upon our success."

Early Renderings
Believe it or not, the four pastel drawings featured in this post (which I drew around the age of ten) are not images from a disturbed little boy, contrary to what a great many people thought at the time.
I wasn't a violent kid who beat up on his peers, worshiped satan and tortured animals in his spare time, I was actually a pacifist. I didn't want to take part in violent games and clearly remember once sending a neighbour home after he ran over one of my toy plastic dinosaurs with my sister's Barbie car. I wasn't a damaged or bullied child screaming out for help either.
One of the skills the artists I looked up to displayed, was the ability to evoke strong emotions and thought. These were some of my early attempts at creating powerful and emotional art which made people think. Back then (and still now) I believed art was much more than just a showcase of amazing technique and draughtsmanship. I had seen a lot of expertly rendered images that just felt cold, left me feeling nothing.
On another note, there are a few recently finished drawings hanging around my studio at present. I might post a sample of one in the next week or so (we'll see if I can drag the old scanner out). Could make for an interesting contrast.

Algeria's ENTV news channel interviewed a number of local and foreign workers who had been held captive in a gas facility and were freed on Friday, with some of them expressing relief from hospital beds or a bus in this video.
The footage was some of the first of its kind to be broadcast as Algerian special forces continued to rescue the hostages. As our colleague Steven Erlanger reports, some of the workers managed to hide or escape.
The interviews were in Arabic and English, with some of the men speaking from what appeared to be a medical clinic or from the In Amenas hospital. The men interviewed were asked repeatedly what they thought of the Algerian Army, and they expressed relief and gratitude.
A man who identified himself as a Turkish worker said: "We were in our rooms. We just heard what was happening. They saved us."
Some of the workers were injured. "It happened so fast," said a man with a bandaged head lying on a hospital bed.
Many of those interviewed spoke with British accents. One man who identified himself as Darren Matthews from England, said: "I feel safe at the moment but I won't feel 100 percent happy until I'm back in the U.K. after I see my family. My heart goes out to the guys that are still there and hopefully everyone comes home safe because, at the end of the day, it's only work."
Another British man said he was very relieved to be out. "As much as I'm glad to be out, my thoughts are with colleagues that are still there at the moment." Asked what he thought about the Algerian military, he said, "I have never been so relieved as when they came and got us off site."
In Arabic, a number of workers, who said they were employees of BP and Halliburton, described being rescued by the army. "The soldiers hit the terrorists. We were all in a room, all 260 of us, standing there, and that's when they struck them by plane. We knew there was a back door, so we broke it down and escaped," one man said.
The man said that a leader of the kidnappers, named Taher, was killed by the Algerian forces. "After that there was very heavy shooting, but we got out and escaped."
Another appeared to be describing a second army assault on the compound, saying, in part, "The army went in at around 12 or 12 and something, they went in with planes and every part of the army, like the special forces."

15 Years of Unreal!
That's right, folks. Fifteen years ago today, Unreal hit shelves. In the following years, the series became significant and prolific. Today, we are hoping for something more. We couldn't exactly ignore this milestone, though, could we?
To celebrate, the Unreal Deal Pack is 75% off on Steam. That's a screaming deal for all your favorite Unreal games, unless your favorite Unreal game happens to be Unreal Tournament 2003. You will just have to put up with 2004 instead.
If you want to see Epic's nod to their past, you can obviously check it out. There are some screenshots there to pique your nostalgia.

Make Something Unreal Live 2013 Winners
Epic announced the winners of the 2013 Make Something Unreal Live contest. Amazingly, top honors went to a game called Epigenesis that looks very much like Unreal Tournament 2003's Bombing Run. I could find a single video of the gameplay to show you what I mean:
Congratulations to developer Dead Shark Triplepunch who walks away with an Unreal Engine license for the game.
In a surprise move, the judges also awarded a license to the second place game, Polymorph, by developer Kairos. All finalists got a generous helping of hardware from the sponsors.
Warframe Reaches 1M Players
Warframe, the new free-to-play 'space ninja' third person shooter from our good friends at Digital Extremes, has surpassed the 1 million player mark. Pretty impressive! It is currently in open beta form and available on Steam.
Warframe has been gaining momentum as the next gen Free-to-Play title to watch since October when its Closed Beta began. Bringing a AAA quality gaming experience to the Free-to-Play market has been one of the goals for the development team from the outset. Between the impressive graphics, solid fine-tuned gameplay and regular content and feature updates, Warframe has more than exceeded fan and team expectations to date.
Attributing to its quick success, Digital Extremes has viewed the emerging Free-to-Play segment as a true opportunity to reconnect directly with gamers. Maintaining development transparency and regular interaction with its community is part of the team's design philosophy that has truly paid off in establishing a solid, loyal fan base that is growing in droves alongside the game.

Tencent owns 48% of Epic Games
Remember back in July when Tencent brought that 'minority' stake in Epic Games?
Well it turns out it's not so small. Tencent recently released their annual results for their year which ended at the which reveals the stake they own in Epic stands at 48.4%, a $330,000,000 investment in the company. It also shows that Tencent have the ability to nominate directors to the board.

Case adds about 1/2inch (1/4" on top, 1/4" on bottom). There was no option to engrave when I purch ased it.
Nice leather. Bottom fits really well. Top can fall off at times, but not too often.

- Asked by Harley C from Niagara Falls
- Jun 21, 2012
Love the case, however, yes laptop has been overheating since using it. Never had the overheat prob lem when using my old plastic case. Unfortunately, the plastic cracked easily. No easy solution.
This case is nice but I am concerned the elastic that holds onto the screen side will stretch. Overall, I may just go back to plastic! …- Answered by Donna T from Thousand Oaks

I've had mine for almost 2 weeks now. Haven't had any issues with overheating. Love the case - the leather is smooth with clean lines. I had been looking for a case since Christmas and finally stumbled across this one in the apple online store. I'm very pleased with my purchase! …

Hey everyone, welcome back to another fun lesson that is going to be easy to tackle and adorable to start. Again, I will be filling a request that is going to show you "how to draw chibi Ho-Oh", step by step. This bird like species from the Pokemon collection became so popular over the course of time. The regular version of Ho-Oh can be found as a tutorial in the Pokemon characters section under the Anime/Manga category. Chibi Ho-Oh is one of those species that looks the same even in chibi form. I had lots of fun creating this version of an extraordinary bird that has a lot of spunk and pizazz. I still have that other Pokemon to upload and I will be back in a bit to submit that one as well. If you run into any problems with this lesson, just take a deep breath, try and focus, and start all over if you think you need to. Okay, let me fly out of here so I can prepare my next tutorial for you all. Have fun guys and be sure to submit your artwork when you're done.

Its a great pad and the thickness is perfect for any rug. It also does what it say's---does not slid one bit. You need a pair of big scissors to cut it.
I was very pleased to find this high quality pad for a fraction of the price of the same piece elsewhere. It truly enhances the lovely rug which I also bought through Overstock. I am thrilled.
I host open houses and vend shows atleast twice a month. I recent bought an area rug for the entrance to my booth but with all of the traffic in and out, it moved and the corners kept flipping up. I was afraid a customer was going to trip so I started researching options because I love my rug. Let me tell you, this rug pad is more than perfect! I have not seen the corners flip up once and my rug now stays where I put it. I had to trim it a little because my rug is not exactly 8'x11' but scissors cut through the pad easily. I read that this pad also works on carpet so I am curious to check that out since I have a show coming up at a local convention center that is carpeted.
This is a repeat purchase. Keeps rugs in place and gives a just right feel underfoot. Not too firm, not too squishy.
I am so happy that I went with this rug pad. I was researching others but this had the best reviews and just bought it. Arrived quickly and did have a weird chemical smell, but that went away within a couple hours. So, no more smell and rug stays put...no complaints here.
It is 3 inches longer than 11'. So I had to cut it to make it fit. Great mat, but odd the size us off.
Arrived very quickly and was exactly as described.
I used it immediately because there was no odor. I've only had it down a month so I can not attest to its impact on engineered floor.
I couldn't be more pleased with a rug pad than this one. I checked it carefully when it arrived. The workmanship was high quality and I knew that the pad would not pull apart under an 8 X 10 jute rug. Jute rugs can really do a number on a pad but after a couple weeks of high traffic and a quick check, nothing had moved or pulled apart.. The pad is durable and makes my new rug look even better, thicker. It feels like a comfort mat. The price was a great value and there is such a significant difference in comfort from another rug pad that I have under another rug that I may replace that one with this particular mat. Thanks Again, Overstock!
I think that this pad not only holds my wool rug in place, but gives it even more dimension and depth. It's heavy, it should last a long, long time.

Arlen Specter confirms he is battling cancer, says he 'intends to win'

Arlen Specter confirms he is battling cancer, says he 'intends to win'
Dan Gross
UPDATE: Arlen Specter's office confirmed Tuesday morning that the former U.S. Senator is once again fighting cancer. "I am battling cancer, and it's another battle I intend to win," Specter said in a statement issued by his office. "I am grateful for the well wishes I have received and I am looking forward to getting back to work, to the comedy stage, the squash court and the ballpark," says Specter, an avid Phillies fan.
We reported what follows below on Monday afternoon...
Arlen Specter has been hospitalized with a serious illness, confirm friends of the longtime U.S. Senator. One asked that people keep him in thoughts and prayers.
Specter, 82, announced in 2005 that he had Hodgkin's disease for which he underwent chemotherapy. His cancer returned and he was treated again in 2008.
Friends declined to comment Monday afternoon on the nature of his illness.
Specter had been scheduled to appear as a surprise guest and perform a comedy set at last Wednesday's Stu Bykofsky Candidates Comedy Night but his secretary cancelled his long-booked appearance several days earlier, Bykofsky confirms, adding that Specter's assistant referred to the cancellation as "personal."
"I'm sorry I can't provide any information to that effect, you'll have to ask somebody else," replied a woman who answered the phone at Specter's office Monday when asked if she could confirm that Specter was in the hospital.
Specter's son, attorney Shanin Specter, promptly retured our email Monday, but declined to comment for this report.
- Street Sense13

- Arlen Specter , whose lies about the Kennedy assassination have brainwashed generations of Americans.
Yo sycophantic empire boy - we remember Anita Hill !
"The Warren Commission thought they had an open and shut case: three bullets, one assassin -- but two things happened that made it virtually impossible: 1) the Zapruder film, which you just saw, and 2) the third wounded man, Jim Tague, who was nicked by a fragment down by the Triple Underpass. The time frame of 5.6 seconds established by the Zapruder film left no possibility of a fourth shot from Oswald's rifle, but the shot or fragment that left a superficial wound on Tague's cheek had to come from a bullet that missed the car entirely. Now they had two bullets that hit, and we know one of them was the fatal head shot. So a single bullet remained to account for all seven wounds in Kennedy and Connally. But rather than admit to a conspiracy or investigate further, the Commission chose to endorse the theory put forth by an ambitious junior counselor, Arlen Specter. One of the grossest lies ever forced on the American people, we've come to know it as the "magic bullet" theory."

Good username however, Ernie Banks is a class act. blutz- lport
the lopez!- "It made a hell of an impact on a lot of people,"
Specter said.
"It was worldwide. People have said to me they were in Timbuktu, and they were watching," he said. "Last year, …I was heading into a rally in Pittsburgh and a woman walked up to me, and in front of all the cameras there, she said,
'I'll never forgive you for what you did to Anita Hill.'"

never been to either place...but have been to plenty of places that do have a lot of mosquitoes...brought bug spray but hardly have ever had to use it!
in case anyone one is worried...here's a map from the CDC http://www.healthmap.org/dengue/index.php even the USA seems to have a giant marker in her
been to a lot of places that are marked...never had an issue!!
we're going to the beach to swim and snorkel and have a great time!!!
Report abuse
We have been to Curacao and Aruba many times and don't see the need for anything more than maybe some bug spray.
The ship stops there for such a short amount of time - so why send out the worry alarm? We should be fine!
Mosquitoes can also be problematic in Curaçao, and cases of dengue fever have been reported. When mosquitoes are apparent on the island, travelers are strongly advised to wear long sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, and hats, and to also use an insect repellent containing DEET.
Not sure if it is mosquitoe season!

I found this too be very tasty and my husband liked it too. I will cook it again tomorrow, but will have to improvise orange pineapple juice instead. I'm never afraid to try something new or switch ingredients with something I have on hand that will mingle well with the other ingredients. No need to look further for a salmon recipe. Thanks!

Black Ops 2 and Elite problems
Like (0)
Hey, I have a couple of problems that are just annoying me now.
1. I can't edit my custom classes on the Elite website as it says I have not met one or more of the requirements needed to access my custom classes, the 2 requirements are play at least 1 game of Black Ops 2 and be above the level of 4 both of which I have accomplished as at the time of me typing this I am level 54 on 4th prestige so I have definitely achieved what it is requesting. It will however allow me to access my classes on the Elite app for my iPad. I'm confused about this, any Ideas?
2. I have invited a couple of my friends to my clan which presently only has me as a member, none of my friends are able to join, I have tried cancelling and re-sending invites but to no avail. This has me stumped and a little frustrated, any Ideas?
Please if you know how to fix either of these promblems let me know, not sure if it's relevant or not but I play on ps3 and have never cheated/boosted/hacked/etc. and so have no Idea how or why I incurred these problems. Any help is appreciated.
Thank You
i can only accept applications but i would love to kick some people out but its not letting me
i too can not invite... when i enter someones gamertag into search it tells me i have no friends??? i can accept applications though so its not to big of a deal but its very frustrating
Nevermind I fixed it somehow
I've had the same custom class problem but idk what's wrong....it worked for the first week or two the game was out but afterwards it takes me to that stupid intro page.
Are you still having clan invite and application issues? I am having the exact same problem. It worked at first got 4 members in and now everytime i try to accept a clan application it sits on the screen for a while and a window pops up with a system error "no number with it tho" Im new to the "elite" experiance, and I already have a bad taste in my mouth from it.. Not only am i having those issues, but only one member and myself are able to contribute to the clan challenges which is a whole nother problem in itself. Anyone heard of anyone getting customer service from 3arch or Activision?

2012 Summer Olympics, London(Stay away if you want to remain unspoiled.)
Posted 15 August 2012 - 10:14 AM
Rebecca King, a dancer with Miami City Ballet, has been turning Tendus Under a Palm Tree into a serious journalistic publication. It's a dancer's blog, but it's become much more.
Franklin joined the dozens of dancers, most of them non-professional (and therefore not paid), who rehearsed weekends under arduous conditions and had to deal with problems like torrents of rain, a stage that raked to the side, and lycra tights that caused feet to slide around inside the point shoes.
It's a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at one of the "biggest" ballet stories of all times. (Even bigger than Excelsior !!!)

Congratulations to the British Men's sprint team and Victoria Pendleton for their gold medals.
Just the basics:
Track bikes are single gear -- the rider chooses a gear from among the acceptable sizes -- the rider can only pedal in one direction, and the bikes have no brakes. That's why someone has to hold the back of the bike so that they don't fall over, and why races start with at least one lap of getting up to speed.
Pursuit. In Pursuit, two riders or teams start the race at opposite sides of the middle of the straightaway of the track. It's mostly a time trial -- the fastest time wins -- with the added twist that over the course of the multi-lap race, a rider/team beats the opponent if the ride team catches the opponent. After all of the eliminations, the top two ride for silver and the next two rider for bronze. Individual pursuit was removed as individual event this Olympics and was added to the Omnium.
In team pursuit, time is counted from when the third member of the three- or four-member team crosses the finish line, and the team members work together (hopefully) to fulfill a strategy. They "draft" each other, and, usually, because the person in front has to work harder to fight wind resistance, they trade-off that top position, and they ride at the bottom of the track until they need to cross the finish line, because the inner circle has the shortest distance. (At the end two riders go wide, and try to cross at the fastest pace, since it's the third rider's time that counts) . However, because only three scores count, they can "sacrifice" one team member who is expected to tire by having that rider spend more time at the front and sometimes to set a very fast pace for the team. (The risk is that if another member crashes or burns out, that the third rider's time will be very slow or the rider won't finish.)
Great Britain won the Men's (Clancy, Thomas, Burke, Kennaugh) and Women's (King, Trott, Rowsell) Team Pursuit.
Keirin. This is a group race in which a motorized bike leads the (individual) competitors around the track single file for a set number of laps, gradually increasing the speed, and then drops off, and the racers jockey for position, based on their strategy for the last few laps, which is the race. The riders start in a random position. (It was invented as a gambling sport.) First one over the line who doesn't get eliminated for infractions wins; there are rules about not running the other cyclist off the track, how close they can come to each other, what it means to cut someone off illegally. It's a lot like long distance track races in terms of jockeying for position, leading vs. having a kick, trying to avoid getting boxed in vs. trying to box in an opponent, having to go wide to get around the group, but 1. It's a lot faster and 2. The track is steeply banked.
Victoria Pendleton won the Women's Keirin, and Chris Hoy won the Men's Keirin.
Sprint. Sprint is head-to-head competition. Two riders or teams (of two for women and three for men) compete at a time, best two-of-three races. In the qualifications, the winners go on, and the losers get a second chance to qualify against each other in repechages, like in rowing.
There's a draw to determine who has to lead the first race (and the third, if necessary). The leader gets dibs on the inside "lane" of the track (which is quite narrow), and the other rider is not allowed in that space. The first lap or two the riders stalk each other, usually at a snail's pace, although sometimes the strategy is to take off quickly and hope that the other rider can't react in time. The race within the race starts at the bell lap, and the winner is the first one over the finish line. In general, the idea is to beat the other person while expending the least amount of energy -- they race a lot without that much recovery time -- which is why you'll often see one rider ease up in the last stretch when s/he realizes that s/he can't win.
Victoria Pendleton won silver in the Women's Sprint. Great Britain won the Men's (Hindes, Hoy, Kenny) Team Sprint, and Jason Kenny won the Men's Sprint. There was a controversy because the governing body of cycling said that only one rider from each team could enter, and there was a lot of criticism that the British team chose Kenny over Chris Hoy, the defending Olympic champion, based on Kenny's and Hoy's results this year. Luckily, Kenny proved them right. Women's Team Sprint was the only cycling event in which GB didn't medal.
Omnium. I'd never see it before these Olympics, and found it fascinating. It's made of six events, half of them timed events, and half group strategy events. It's a bit like the heptathlon or decathlon, demanding different skills or the same skills in different distances. Relatively, the timed events are like the 100m, 200m, and maybe the 1500m in track. Unlike the decathlon and heptathlon, where the athletes are given points based on time or distance, and where the 1st and 2nd place athlete in one event can be few or hundreds of points apart, based on how well or badly they did, in Omnium, points are awarded like ordinals: the first place rider gets 1 point and the second place rider gets 2 points, whether No. 1 was .01 of a second or 2 minutes ahead of No. 2. The rider with the lowest number of points wins.
The three strategy races are intense. In the long points race, there are a lot of laps, and every ten or so laps, a rider can earn event points either by crossing the designated finish line in the top four (5, 3, 2,1 points earned) or by sprinting ahead and catching the main pack, which gets them 20 points. The riders are ranked by how many points they've earned, with the winner (most points), getting the least points towards the Omnium total.
In the elimination race, the last rider in the pack after every set number of laps is eliminated and leaves the race; they have lights on their handlebars that the officials activate once they've been eliminated. The first one to cross the finish line against the only remaining competitor at the end wins the race.
The scratch race is like a road race -- everyone sets off for a fixed number of laps, and the first one over the line wins.
At the end, they add up the points, and the rider with the fewest points wins. Like with the heptathlon and decathlon, different riders have different strengths, and it takes a few events before the true contenders shake out.
Edward Clancy won bronze in the Men's Omnium, and Laura Trott won the Women's Omnium. She was first in three segments, second in two, and third in one, just edging out Sarah Hammer by one point.

The Olympics have been used by the British government as nothing more than a propaganda tool to take the minds of the populace off the pressing issues of the day, the term 'bread and circuses' springs to mind here. The blanket reporting of the Olympics, especially on TV has meant the burying of bad news on both the home and international front.
Reality did raise its head at the Paralympics though when the P.M. and the Chancellor together with Jeremy Hunt (until recently Minister of Culture) were vigorously booed. For many people, myself included, the stand-out moment of the entire games.

VANOC's way of mitigating risk was to transfer it to the City of Vancouver, which has been on the hook for the Olympic Village.
Among the worst impacts was that the City invited tens of thousands of people into Vancouver to celebrate on game 7 of the Stanley Cup play-offs, because the Olympics allegedly showed that Vancouver was a mature city, conveniently forgetting the half billion spent on Olympic security. The result was a riot and millions of dollars in damage.

Am I right in thinking it took the Canadians decades to pay for their games? The Olympics helped to bankrupt Greece. Eventually we will get to hear the true cost to London in real terms. Many Londoners, myself included, simply left the city to avoid the predicted crush, but it didn't happen as too many people were put off by the inflated prices being charged and shops, hotels etc found their takings actually went down in what is usually the height of the tourist season.

We were very impressed with the coverage of the Opening Ceremony, and indeed with all the attention put on the Paralympics -- I know that it has a certain 'bread and circuses' vibe, but compared to the parsimonious and short-sighted presentation (or lack of it) in the US, the attention and respect shown to a part of the population that is often dismissed and overlooked was very heartening. I can be as cynical as the next person about the standard "triumphing over adversity" story, but this was very special. Whatever costs London has incured hosting these games, and I imagine they are close to staggering, you can be very proud of their outcome.
And seated volleyball? Woah!

Winter Games tend to be less expensive by comparison, mostly because the mountains and snow cover almost all of the alpine, cross-country, and extreme skiing events except the ski jumps, and there's usually at least some rink availability for figure skating, hockey, and speed skating. The major venues that need to be built are usually for sledding, curling, and snowboarding, with the latter considered a plus for resort towns, and the former a plus if it turns into a national training center, like the speedskating venue in Calgary. Because of that center, the speed skating venue just south of Vancouver, in Richmond, was converted into a much-needed community rec center. In Sochi, the venues for curling, skating, and maybe hockey are temporary and will be moved to other parts of the country once the Olympics are over, and the oligarchs will have their resort back.
The Olympic Village is the big elephant in the room, especially with the expansion into extreme sports. In cities there's usually some lip service to providing public housing (directly or indirectly) and/or urban renewal. In Vancouver, a private developer thought it would be a grand idea to build the Village as luxury condos in a low density area, especially with a prime stop on the new Canada Line (light rail to the airport), which made sense when when the Olympics were awarded. After the housing bubble burst and the inevitable world financial crisis happened, the developer was ready to walk away, and VANOC got the city to "save" the Olympics.
What I find most hair-tearing is that in Vancouver, for example, there were four major infrastructure investments: expanding the Sea-to-Sky highway from Vancouver to Whistler, the Canada Line light rail to the airport -- which was at most number three on the light rail priority list until the Olympics, although it has has much higher ridership than expected -- fortifying BC Hydro infrastructure, and communications upgrades. The Olympics cost multiple times more than funding them directly, but there was no civic will to raise the money to do so. Unless a China or Russia makes an Olympics a national agenda -- British Columbia would get more respect from Ottawa (read: Toronto) if it were Hong Kong -- I suspect it's the same for most bidding cities.

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: God and Creation
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Series: The Wonder of the Universe
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Series: Universe and Multiverse
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
Series: John Polkinghorne on Natural Theology
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
