I previously wrote that the effect of the Supreme Court's Obamacare ruling on the presidential race would depend on how each campaign reacted to it. So far, not so good for Mitt Romney.
Romney's initial statement made clear that he, and only he, would sign a repeal of Obamacare as president. A good start. Since then, however, it's either been silence or an unforced error.
The unforced error, of course, was his spokesman's televised comment that Romney doesn't believe Obamacare's mandate is a tax. The Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes has a good summary:
Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom appeared [Monday] on MSNBC's Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd, where he agreed with the host's assertion that Romney "believes that you should not call the penalty a tax."
Fehrnstrom explained: "The governor disagreed with the ruling of the Court. He agreed with the dissent written by Justice Scalia, which very clearly stated that the mandate is not a tax." Later, Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg confirmed that Romney doesn't consider the mandate a tax, telling ABC News: "Governor Romney thinks it is an unconstitutional penalty."
It is not all that difficult a) to agree with Scalia — that the correct legal ruling would have been to consider the mandate's penalty just what Congress called it: a penalty, not a tax — but then b) to point out that the Supreme Court's ruling makes clear that the mandate is only lawful if it is considered a tax, and that the Obama administration is hypocritically trying to have it both ways by telling the public it's a "penalty" on "freeloaders" after sending its lawyers to court to argue it's a "tax."
The obvious reason the Romney campaign is having so much difficulty following this argument is that it invariably brings the discussion back to Romneycare in Massachusetts. This was the biggest reason some of us felt he was not the best Republican to take on Obama as the party's nominee.
I feel safe in saying Romney gains nothing by continuing to defend that law. He isn't going to win Massachusetts. Independents in opinion polls break strongly against Obamacare and are highly unlikely to think to themselves, You know, I don't like Obamacare but I sure am glad Romney passed a version of it as a governor. It's a good thing he hasn't renounced it. Standing by the state health law only hurt him in the primary.
It is an enormous mistake for him to risk pouring cold water on conservatives' anti-Obamacare zeal.
If he wants to leave it to other people making the argument about Obamacare-as-a-tax, fine. But that's a far cry from letting high-level campaign staff undermine that argument. And, given that there's no higher court to which one could appeal last week's ruling, the Romney campaign can gain nothing from continuing the "it's not a tax" line.
All indications are that the economy is not going to recover sufficiently or quickly enough by this fall to save Obama. But while the economy is the No. 1 issue for many voters, it's not the only issue — if it were, there would be no excuse for anyone not named Obama to be trailing in the polls. Romney has to be able to win on the other big issues, including Obamacare. And that requires a better performance on the issue than we've seen from his side so far.
Note: Due to the soap-opera shenanigans of a few commenters Monday night, all comments are going through moderation until further notice. Any comment that includes personal attacks or ventures off-topic while the on-topic discussion is still going strong will not be published. Those of you who think anything goes because I need the "hits" do not understand a) what a "hit" is or b) how beyond frustrated with some of you I have become. Be forewarned that the comments you submit, even if they are not published, may affect whether I let some of you back onto the blog ever again.

He must get back on the overall economic message. I wont be voting for Romney, however if he can sell the overall economic message, he has a chance. If not, well you know what the probable outcome will be.

Of course he would say it's not a tax. If he did, then he would have to admit to raising taxes even thogh he signed the Grover anti-tax pledge stating he would never support tax increasing.

Romney not only has a rich guy image problem, ACA can make him seem like he doesn't care about the working poor, which he doesn't.

@Kyle…"I feel safe in saying Romney gains nothing by continuing to defend that law. "
Problem with that approach is that Romney has an entire body of written and spoken work that does just that. How he could possibly reconcile that shift with the voters is beyond me. This ruling has him between a rock and a hard place and his only escape is to change the subject.
July 3rd, 2012
12:03 pm
Kyle- I agree with your article but it is par for the course with Romney who is all over the map on every issue.What I do not understand is that Supreme Court including two liberal justices cut the heart out of Obamacare with the Medicaid reversal. This should be a campaign issue because of the savings of federal dollars and it gives the states further leverage to use medicaid funds as they see fit. The millions of uninsured that Obama promised would be covered at no out of pocket expense have lost out by this part of the decision. Why is this not being talked up as a huge victory for state's rights, the Republicans and deficit cutters?
Could it be that aside from free emergency room care passed by Reagan the Republicans have no other plan for the uninsured, and the cost of emergency room care will continue to escalate and be paid by those who "have" ? I think that is called socialism in other countries.

12:04 pm
So is a tax deduction for having a kid a penalty on those who didn't have one, since they have to make up the difference in order to balance the Federal budget? Or is it really a tax on them for being childless?
Either way, this is a tax on deadbeats who don't buy insurance and are currently subsidized by the market because of a law Reagan signed years back. I'm good with whatever it gets called. Only tax-phobics worry about the semantics. The public will only care about the outcome once it's fully implemented.

Sorry to hear your readers were being unruly Monday night. Except for that one digression of comparing the, ahem, "merits" of female broadcast journalists, I do try to stay respectful, even when we disagree. Which is always.
Are you suggesting that Romney have a come-to-Jesus moment and totally renounce his own gubernatorial creation? Wouldn't that feed pretty neatly into the predominant narrative of him as history's biggest (and most transparent) flip-flopper?
July 3rd, 2012
12:08 pm
Romney has more problems than this. His draft deferment. The jobs shipped overseas. Etc, etc.
And Tiberius, I spent an hour reading all the Republican plans. Some good ideas, but those are already in the ACA. No mention of how they plan to do it without raising taxes.

Monday night blog wrasslin was it? Glad I was watching the 0-11 Braves lose again.
Romney has been ineffective on Obamacare, Kyle, that is for sure. He can't bring himself to admit that one of his accomplishments was a brutal failure. He needs to get that out there soon, I made a huge mistake. Then he could explain why he failed and why he will never do that again and how he is going to repeal this stinking pile of government intrusion known as Obamacare.
Yeah, Barry, says we can call it that, "because I do care". He is right he does care about getting reelected and continuing his destruction of the America he and his wife so obviously do not like.
Is all this about some ole Flag, yeah Michelle, one people died defending.

Fehrnstrom appears to be as incompetent as McCain's advisers four years ago and should have been gone after his "Etchasketch" comment.

12:10 pm
what is the big deal with calling a payment to the government a "penalty" or a "tax"? It's a payment to the government either way, so calling it what it is (a tax!!!)
Otherwise, the 5-4 ruling says that it's constitutional, which surprises me, but not really, based on recent rulings that also should have surprised me.
So, Congress, deal with it as a tax and move on to the next step. Sheesh, trying to fight the decision after it's already been made is silly, so move to the next step, which is improving healthcare and coverage for the whole country in a meaningful way.

I would love to hear a question something like this during a Presidential debate. "Mr. President, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution does not authorize the Affordable Care Act. Would it then be more accurate to say that the individual mandate is a tax on low-income people who don't happen to buy health insurance, or that the mandate is unconstitutional, contrary to the Court's decision?"

My apologies for getting involved in the battle last night. It is hard sometimes to take the personal attacks from some of these people and I sometimes just have to fire back a little. I did try to keep my comments clean but they were personal in nature.
Now on to the subject at hand. I think that Romney has come to a conclusion that he is going to concentrate on the economy and nothing more. He said he would repeal the law and will allow the congressional races bring up the subject. I believe this is part of the economy and should be addressed more but I see his view. He is taking the Clinton strategy of the 1990 campaign.
July 3rd, 2012
12:16 pm
Thanks for the updates on blog rules. That was needed.
As to Romney's missteps, let's not pay too much attention to them. They may not be missteps but Democrats love it when someone mentions any Romney "missteps".
Since I am not into pleasing Democrats at the moment, I'd rather focus on something else, like Romney's vast experience in matters of the economy. I think we need a business manager more than a pseudo-medical mixer at the moment. Business and Obama are not compatible.

Are you suggesting that Romney have a come-to-Jesus moment and totally renounce his own gubernatorial creation? Wouldn't that feed pretty neatly into the predominant narrative of him as history's biggest (and most transparent) flip-flopper?
I'm pretty sure many conservatives would need a come-to-Jesus moment where he totally renounces everything in his past including his religion, his entire governoring experience, and his time at Bain starting about 5 minutes after he was put in charge. Basically, the Olympics and "I was a CEO once upon a time" is all he'll have left. Which is pretty much what he's trying to do anyway.

Agreed but the real question is does it matter to anyone other then conservatives? Can Romney do more taking the Clinton approach "its the economy stupid" or should he talk about all things conservative?
July 3rd, 2012
12:34 pm
WOW…I must have missed the sideshow. But on the topic at hand. As you said, it would be hard for Romney to condemn something that he basically had a hand in creating. The issue is whether the voters at large believe that given enough time will the economy recover under President Obama's watch or whether it is prudent to change course in midstream and start going in another direction. I believe that if we stuck with President Bush for 8 years, that we should stick with Obama for 8 years.

12:37 pm
First of all, Eric Fehrnstrom should be either muzzled or fired for his comments.
Next, this issue needs to go on the appropriate back-burner, to be dealt with only when questions are asked of Romney. It's not a big enough campaign issue and takes him off-message every time regarding his better economic message. It will also give the campaign time to craft an appropriate message that makes more sense than what they have been spewing – especially in time for the debates.
He needs to use this issue as a one-liner or so in each speech and e-mail to the people who are listening to him, but that's it. Once people find out about the decision (Fox News said that a recent poll showed 41% of those asked hadn't heard about the decision yet), the true numbers of support or agreement will come out.
July 3rd, 2012
12:38 pm
Of course, a lot of the RINOS support Obamacare, whether they admit it publicly or not. Romney will draw support from most conservatives because they have no where else to turn. In terms of trust – he hasn't earned it.
Not a lot to celebrate on the 4th, unless you like wakes.
July 3rd, 2012
12:39 pm
Romney is caught in his own trap. If Obama's mandate is a tax, then Romney's mandate in Massachusetts is a tax. And he says he did not raise taxes while governor of Massachusetts.
Romney needs to drop Obamacare as an issue.
Romney needs to hire James Carville – "It's the economy s…….!"

You have a wide liberal imagination. Romney has so much good experience, he doesn't have to have some major "revelation". He hasn't renounced anything that I have heard about. He is a man of character and doesn't go around sobbing about this or that to please someone.
Just because Democrats do not believe in being successful in business (like Romney) or experienced in governship (like Romney) or having a guiding faith (like Romney)or planning and presenting large projects (like Romney's Olympic experience) they think an inexperienced, non-business, health meddler, debt blind afflicted, is ideal for the USA.
Let's hope that we, the USA, have a new dawning without another four dark and devastating years of being led by a self-aggrandizing incompetent president..

But on the topic at hand. As you said, it would be hard for Romney to condemn something that he basically had a hand in creating.
Perhaps, but I think Kyle's advice is the only smart path for Romney to follow. He has to be able to own his position(s) on his own signature state legislation; he will be too easy a target for Obama, both in ads and in the debates, this summer, otherwise.
(and no, I'm not rooting for Romney, as most here who know of me already know–I'm just trying to figure the odds on this horse race.)

So lets review Mittens comments when, as governor of Mass.on the day he signed the health care law in his state. If the Dems are smart they will run with what he said accompanying with quotes from Fehrnstrom,s Sunday comments… then lets us all watch as he attempts to waffle out of this one… I got the popcorn and scotch out y'all should too.

Completely ignoring Reagan's the government is the problem meme, Norquist's desire to drown it in the bathtub.

July 3rd, 2012
12:53 pm
Any campaign missteps on this issue in relation to the SC decision are mimiscule in importance to the point of being meaningless when viewed against the whole massive flip flop from Romneycare vs ACA. It really doesn't matter how Romney spins it, or how competently his campaign does or doesn't spin it. I also agree with byte me that the semantics over the issue are also meaningless. I don't care what it is called, whether a fee, penalty or tax. Republicans just want to call it a tax to score political points, but Obama never ran on a "no new taxes" pledge. Those who are the most anti-tax are the same people who were knee-jerk anti-"anything Obama" anyway.
July 3rd, 2012
12:53 pm
Romney needs to break down the actual costs associated with the bill vs allowing the left to frame the "penalty" as the only tax…….which is not the case.
He needs to take the average middle class person and let them know how the changes to the FSA, HSA, and other such changes will affect them, along with how they will be paying the bulk of the other taxes in the bill. If people actually think the insurance providers pay a tax, then we deserve what we get due to the complete ignorance of the American public…………

It's not important whether it's a tax or not. It matters that we now have government-run health care. The government does very little well, other than kill people and break things, skills that are not of much use in our health care.

Romney is a business man and obviously an upright and moral man. If not, Axelrod and thugs would have outed him a long time ago. He's not a politician, and unfortunately most people base their voting decisions on commercials. Obama will get re-elected as he's not afraid of lying.

Romney should have known there would be a reckoning of his many positions sooner than later. He has contorted himself into a pretzel playing to the cheap seats then etcha sketching like a mime into a new position. My money says he'll damage a ligament and limp badly to the finish.

I noticed on real clear politics after the court decision that by Friday Obama had received a slight bump in the polls when looking at the averages, but that is now back down to where it was before the decision.
We will see if the trend continues. My opinion. If Romney does not knoc out Obama in 2 of 3 debates he is in deep poo poo. When I say knock out I mean that most commentators and columnists agree to a certain extent that Romney won, not just Rush, Hannity, Boortz saying he won or Maddow, Olberman saying he lost.
July 3rd, 2012
1:20 pm
lil: "The government does very little well, other than kill people and break things, skills that are not of much use in our health care."
Guess that's why gov-run healthcare has held increases in medical care to a minimum compared with for-profit insurance companies.
July 3rd, 2012
1:21 pm
I hope Eric Fehrnstrom is not typical of the types of appointments we can anticipate from President Romney. So long as he continues to affirm an intention to seek and sign a repeal of the law, I have no quibble with Mr. Romney. I would wish Mr. Romney to keep a focus on the economy, and if he wishes to note the adverse economic effects of ObamaCare, that would be consistent with my wishes.
While I think the court – meaning CJ Roberts – generally erred as a matter of law in the recent ObamaCare ruling, I am constrained to observe that there is no meaningful economic difference between an unfunded mandate (or any other economic regulation) vs a tax combined with spending laws. Both have a negative effect on the economy, as they supplant free market choices with the preferences of overlords. ObamaCare is the single largest constraint on hiring the country faces in the current depression.

Mitt Romney has sold his soul to Satan to try to get elected president of the United States. He will do anything, say anything and be anyone to get your vote. here is a man that has put himself into such a corner as to have to bad mouth his own health care program, just to make the grade in his Party. A program, I might add, that has been very successful in Massachusetts. He should be running on the strengths of his program, but…he can't, because he has become the human pretzel. Is this really a man you would want to be President? Come on…
and always remember…"Good manners, y'all…don't leave home without them…"
July 3rd, 2012
1:27 pm
Funny, semi-related issue, Drudge posts a link to a Gallup poll that affirms that only 6% think healthcare is the single most important issue facing the country. Assume that means the leftists think ObamaCare cured everything, even though it does not kick in full bore until 2014.
"The economy (at 31 percent), jobs (25 percent), dissatisfaction with government (12 percent) and the federal budget deficit (11 percent) were all mentioned in front of health care."
Don't know why they distinguished "the economy" from "jobs" – combined they total 56%. How much of that distress – including the "federal budget deficit," prospectively – is attributable to the looming ObamaCare?
July 3rd, 2012
1:30 pm
Dear Lil-Barry @ 1:05, ha, I have previously argued that those "inherent strengths of government" were the main reason the leftists were pushing for a government takeover of the industry. Part of the "death cult."
July 3rd, 2012
1:32 pm
Kyle – your piece could not be more correct. I posted at Jay's earlier this morning that Romney's staff making the etch-a-sketch and now Obamacare tax comments wer unfortunate but were not made by Romney. Now, you confirm Romney backed up the Obamacare tax comment. Very discouraging.
Couple the tax misstep with not defending adequately the accusation of shipping jobs overseas, and clearly Romney and crew need to wake up. They are not running against Jimmy Carter. Carter was completely ineffective but was and is a nice guy who means well. Obama on the otherhand has hidden agendas and is the Chicago political machine who lies as much as tells the truth.
It's OK for Romney to bad mouth Obama, but that only take him so far. He has to voice his plan for replacing Obamacare. He has to voice his plan for fixing illegal immigration. He also needs to speak of the huge contrast in almost all areas with Obama – big government, big taxes, the nanny state, etc.
The base will vote for Romney regardless. However, there are large numbers who need to be steered away from Obama. Romney must find his voice.

Choosing a Pediatrician
Preparing Your Child for Surgery or Hospitalization
Hospitalization and surgery can be a new and difficult experience for both parents and children. Our Pediatric team provides ongoing guidance and preparation to make the experience as comfortable and positive as possible.
Each child responds to new experiences in a unique way. However, there are some general concerns that arise for most children, depending upon their age. Here are some helpful hints:
Parent Involvement
At Greenwich Hospital parents are an essential part of the healthcare team. We encourage parents to participate in their child's care in any way that they feel comfortable, including feeding, bathing, assisting in treatments, or simply just by being there to put their child at ease.
Infants and Toddlers
Language limitations make infants and toddlers the most difficult age group to prepare for surgery or hospitalization. Their biggest fear is being separated from their parents. Bringing a favorite stuffed animal, a pacifier or blanket along to the hospital may be helpful. Most of all, your child wants you nearby. Hold your child and reassure him or her that you'll be there.
Ages 2-6
Ages 2-6 can be a challenge. It's important to tell children the truth about why they are going to the hospital, how long they will stay, and what they can expect to see and do there. (Example: "You will wear a hospital gown and see nurses and doctors.") Encourage your child to express fears and to ask questions. Children this age worry about being separated from their parents, so it's important for you to reassure your child that you will be there as much as possible. Reading books or watching videos about going to the hospital can help both of you learn how to cope with feelings and concerns.
Ages 6-12
Ages 6-12 is a time when children love to ask questions. Encourage your child to do so. Begin discussions when the child seems ready, at least a few days before admission. Be honest about what to expect. Explain that anesthesia will be used during the operation; the child will feel no pain and will wake up when it's over. Books can be very helpful at this age.
Teenagers are concerned about what will happen to them in the hospital. Encourage your teenager to ask questions (No question is stupid!) and to talk directly to the nurses and doctors. Offer reassurance that any fears or feelings he or she may have about the surgery are normal. Include your teenager in any discussions or decisions about his or her care. Assure your child that personal privacy will be respected.
Scheduling a Preoperative Tour
An important way to prepare for surgery is to schedule a Preoperative Pediatric Tour, prior to admission. Tours are open to all children, their parents and siblings. Getting to know the hospital staff, procedures and environment before the day of surgery can help to make you more comfortable and ease your child's fears.
Your tour will be conducted by a volunteer or by a staff member from our Pediatric Unit who will be involved in your child's care.
You should have your tour during the week prior to surgery. Make the appointment as far in advance as possible. Tours are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:00pm.
To schedule your tour, contact Greenwich Hospital Volunteer Department at 203-863-3222, or e-mail
. You may also want to watch the
pediatric pre-op tour video
with your child.
Preoperative Tests and Admission Procedures
The surgeon or pediatrician will let you know if your child will need blood tests or other procedures before surgery.
On the evening before surgery, a preadmission nurse will call to give preoperative instructions, answer questions and tell you when to arrive:
Your child should not eat or drink anything after 12 midnight the night before surgery unless specifically instructed to do so.
If your child has a cold, fever, or has been exposed to chicken pox, notify your doctor immediately. The surgery may have to be rescheduled.
What to Bring to the Hospital
A day or two before the scheduled surgery, pack the things your child will need at the hospital, including a favorite book, toy, blanket, game or activity. Older children and teenagers may bring battery-powered devices; electrically powered devices are forbidden. If you are unsure whether an item is allowed, please check with the pediatric nurse at 203-863-3553. Do not bring valuables and try to label anything that is precious to your child. If you are planning to stay overnight with your child, bring along whatever you will need.
Day of Surgery
You should arrive at the hospital on the scheduled day, at the specified time. After stopping at the Admitting Office to verify information, you will be escorted to your child's room on the Pediatric Unit. Nurses there will check your child's weight, pulse, temperature and breathing, and provide a hospital gown to wear to surgery. In the surgical area, the surgeon and the anesthesiologist will ask more questions.
To avoid a separation that could be frightening to your child, parents of children over six months of age will be permitted to accompany them into the Operating Room and to stay until the anesthetic takes effect. You will be reunited in an area called the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) immediately after the operation. You will be given a beeper so that you can be notified immediately when surgery is over. Your child will be in the PACU until she or he is awake enough to return to the Pediatric Unit. There, post-surgical care will be provided along with any instructions you will need to care for your child at home.
Your child may be wide awake and alert right after surgery, or groggy for a while. If you have any questions or concerns, bring them to the attention of your anesthesiologist.
Staying Overnight with Your Child
If your child is required to stay overnight, one parent may stay with him or her. A sleeping space next to your child's bed will be made available.
Returning Home
Taking care of a child after surgery can be stressful. After your child is discharged from the hospital, a nurse will call to see how he or she is doing and to ask if you have any questions or concerns. If there is anything you need to discuss, please don't wait for us to contact you. Call the Pediatric Unit at 203-863-3553 and ask to speak to a nurse. We are always happy to answer a parent's questions. You should also feel comfortable calling your surgeon or pediatrician.
Have your child rest or "take it easy" as much as possible and limit strenuous physical activities. You will be given instructions on diet, medication and other issues. Remember, you know your child best. Your judgment is most likely the right one. We are here to support you.

Extreme Planting
Louisiana farmer experiments with late
| By Carroll Smith
This is not a "how-to-grow-corn" article but rather a look at one farmer's experiment with out-of-the-box thinking to try to find a way to get more units of production from an acre of land. Last year, Jay Hardwick, who operates a diversified farm near Newellton, La., decided to doublecrop 150 acres of corn with milo and follow the crop all the way through harvest to gauge the potential of this type of cropping system.
He began by studying three years' worth of historical weather – particularly heat units/DD50s – for the area, and on July 29, Hardwick harvested his milo, ran the shredder behind the combine and planted corn behind the shredder.
"When one starts dealing with the fringes of normal planting dates, it's a risk environment that you have to manage very tightly, recognizing that it has a high potential for failure in a lot of ways," he says. "However, it also has a high potential for gleaning information that you wouldn't get otherwise if you didn't venture that way."
Doublecropped Corn Meets Variety Of Challenges
First, the heat units in late July were averaging 30 or 31 compared to five or six that is typical for a normal planting date in March. Consequently, the corn grew quite rapidly, (80+ inches tall), and yields looked promising in the beginning. Then the hurricanes came in, and the heat units dropped to 19 and 20 because of the cloud cover.
"When it cooled off, we lost a lot of energy for the corn to try to maintain this rapid pace to get to black layer or dry down before our normal freeze date of Nov. 1," Hardwick says. "That put us behind, but September wasn't really hot, and we thought we had about a 100+ bushel average at that time."
Unfortunately, the crop was caught by a freeze that put the corn in a suspended state of 30 percent moisture. It wouldn't dry down, which led to other challenges, such as tremendous insect pressure, blackbird damage and the foraging of all types of wildlife from black bears to raccoons.
"It wasn't until after the first of the year, about Jan. 12, that we were able to harvest that corn at 18 percent moisture," Hardwick says. "It was a learning experience, but yieldwise, it was a disaster. We averaged a little over 30 bushels per acre and test weights were running 47 instead of 60. The value to me is in what I learned. The experiment also required me to become more in tune with corn physiology."
Potential Wheat/Corn Experiment In '09
"Planting corn behind wheat provides a three- or four-week opportunity to address any field problems that may have arisen and do things such as side-dressing fertilizer that you would normally do to enhance the crop's ability to produce," Hardwick says. "Plus, picking up those extra three weeks would help the crop beat the freeze date and hopefully position the corn to where pollination would happen during the first part of September, which could be similar to the first part of June type weather."
The real take-home message goes back to looking for ways to get more units of production from an acre of land. And those ways may include doublecropping, irrigating and perhaps, in some cases, even growing three crops in a year and a half.
For this long-term school of thought to be successful, efforts beyond just the production side must be made. For example, long-term – three-, five or even 10-year – leases and financing may become more common to allow farmers to achieve and benefit from long-term goals.
"I'm not saying every acre has to be doublecropped because the soil needs to rest after being intensely farmed," Hardwick says. "But, I think that we as producers have to have our own 'experimental component' to push these fringes. Keep your eyes wide open and pay attention to the proliferation of ideas that can come with these endeavors."

Ch. 1-2: "Two Books" by God? God's Word and God's World
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
God as Process Engineer: Creator, Sustainer, Reedemer, and Provider
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
Series: Fundamentalists, Modernists, and Evolution (3 entries)
Who's Afraid of Science?
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).
Origins News Roundup for July 23, 2014
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
Series: On Creating the Cosmos, by Ted Peters (9 entries)
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
Creation for Kids
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
Religion, Science, and Society
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
Creation Unfolding: Reading Genesis in a Historical Setting
For my part, the historical setting of the text plays an important role in how I read. It's not a problem in my view to see the authors of Genesis embedded in their times, writing in the scientific/mythological terms they knew, even if those terms are now obsolete.
Video repost: Chris Tilling on Biblical Genre and Relational Truths
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
Interview with Ronald Osborn
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
A Review of "Death Before the Fall: Biblical Literalism and the Problem of Animal Suffering" by Ronald E. Osborn
The confident assertion that the Bible trumps science stems from a misunderstanding of the purpose of the scriptures, and a misapplication of the Bible to answer questions that can only be answered by the application of science.
Intelligent Design and Common Ancestry, Part 3
If the designer was able to make fruit fly genomes that distinct, why was it not possible to achieve the same distinction between humans and chimpanzees? Humans and chimpanzees are more divergent in behavior and diet than fruit flies are, so if anything their genomes should be more distinct from each other if one were to appeal to a "common design" type argument.
Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
Series: Why Do We Have This Problem In The First Place?: Evolution, Creation, and Divine Hiddenness (2 entries)
Did God Have Any Choice When He Made the World?
Theological ideas about divine freedom and human reason were important reasons for adopting an intellectually modest, empirical approach to nature during the Scientific Revolution. The common picture of ongoing, inevitable conflict between science and religion is not only false, but perverse, for it prevents us from seeing the kinds of deep connections [between the two].
Evolution, Chance, and God
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
Confessions of an Evolving Baptist
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Series: From the Dust (13 entries)
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.

The Roots - How I Got Over
Production: The Roots
Lead Single: How I Got Over
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 23 total votes )
The Roots are what every aspiring hip-hop group should hope to become. For nearly two decades now the legendary Philly crew have been making their music, their way. Over the course of eleven albums and countless live shows, The Roots have proven themselves to be artists of unparalleled dopeness and integrity. Sure, there have been some ups and downs. The group's seen some line-up changes (can you believe Scott Storch used to be in The Roots?) and like everyone the recession has pushed them in new directions (they're currently putting in work as the house …

DJBooth Album Review
There is this one thing though…
I want to end this review on a high note – in fact the Roots deserve for me to end this review on a high note – so let me get my complaining (some might call it whining) out of the way now: sweet baby jesus, would it kill you guys to make an enjoyable song again? Your last two albums Game Theory and Rising Down were supposed to be dark reflections of our troubled times, I understand that, I support that. But I was honestly relieved to hear that How I Got Over would acknowledge Obama's election and be more buoyant and uplifting. What happened? This is only an uplifting album if you spend the last week in your house alone drinking and listening to Portishead. Just take the title track How I Got Over, a cut that's damn good in its own right and that you'd think would be a song about triumph given the title. Nope. Although the bouncing beat at first may suggest an up-tempo cut, all hopes are dashed as soon as BlackThought kicks in with "we livin' in a war zone like Rwanda." I suppose Web 20/20 comes closest, although that's more of a raw, hard hip-hop cut featuring Peedi Peedi and Truck North than anything designed to move a crowd. Hell, even The Fire, a gripping track featuring John Legend, is more darkness than light. I'm not asking for an auto-tuned club jam, I'm just asking for something that makes us happy to be alive. You know, like Proceed, or Hypnotic, or You Got Me or The Seed 2.0, or any of the other tracks you once made to remind us that while life is hard, it can also be joyous. Is that really too much to ask Roots?
There, I think it's out of my system. Sorry. Now I can just fully appreciate some of the amazingly dope music we find on How I Got Over. The Roots have always been hip-hop ambassadors and on Got Over their a virtual United Nations of genres, bringing in, for example, The Monsters of Folk to deliver a moving hook on Dear God 2.0, and recruiting the eminently eclectic Joanna Newsom for the hauntingly beautiful Right On. And I can't ignore their flip of John Legend's infidelity anthem Doin It Again into a pounding, virtuoso banger. That spirit of creative adventure of course continues well beyond guest features, most notably on the bonus track Hustla. It may be more obvious than the subtle mechanisms driving tracks like Now or Never, but the way they flip the sound of a baby crying and a rattle into an ill beat? I mean, that's one of those "oh s**t, only The Roots could pull this off" moments that define all their best albums. One of those moments only they could provide. The Day, Radio Daze, there's not a weak moment to be found on How I Got Over, and how many albums can we truly say that about?
I've been listening to The Roots for long enough to feel comfortable saying How I Got Over isn't one of their best albums, and not just because of the absence of feel good tracks. True, it's expansive, but not as expansive as Phrenology, and it takes risks, but now as many as Game Theory. So what does that leave us with? That leaves us with an album we're lucky to have, an album that most hip-hop artists couldn't even dream of making. Respect The Roots crew.

Warriors stun Crimson Wave
PETERSBURG - The chance for the Petersburg boys basketball team to start another winning streak at William Lawson Jr. Gymnasium will have to wait another night.
Matoaca who came back from halftime down 37-26 took that deficit and made it into a positive.
"We wanted it [the win], we wanted it [the win] the whole game," said Matoaca's B.J. Allen. "We just had to stay humble."
Unlike the first half, where the Warriors struggled on defense and were not making timely shots, that all changed once the fourth quarter struck.
Both teams were plagued by foul troubles, but it was Matoaca that got the huge break with James Byers going out first for Petersbug.
Matoaca took full advantage and let the 6-7 senior in Allen do all the heavy lifting on the boards.
Between Allen's 12 points in the second half along with Devin Morgan's 12 points, together they helped the Warriors pull off the upset against the Crimson Wave 73-71 on Friday night.
"With the talent that we have on this team we were not going to accept defeat," Morgan said. "We were hungry to win."
That hunger helped break a six-year drought against Petersburg. The last time Matoaca defeated the defending Central District champions was in 2006.
"We stuck together as a team. When our offense clicks, we are able to pull through," Allen said. "We were so dedicated this summer that it made us ready for the season. We know this is our time."
However, it was not looking that way as for almost three quarters Matoaca could not get past the 8-point mark.
The Warriors would get close to breaking that margin but the Crimson Wave would always find a way to push the lead back up to 10 points.
Until the clock struck the 5:22 mark and Morgan made a key shot to put the Warriors within six points.
After the timeout, Petersburg put up a shot by Earl Adams, but the ball spun out allowing Matoaca to push the ball up the court and give Morgan another basket.
The Warriors did not stop there as they were able to get another stop and this time give the ball to Allen for the basket. This put Matoaca within two points at 59-57 with 4:34.
"With the momentum on our side we were able to knock down key shots and get the defensive stops when we needed them," Morgan said.
Still with a lot of time left, Petersburg remained patient as Allen would tie the game at 59-59 with a putback on the rebound.
With 4:25 left to go, Matoaca was able to take its first lead of the game with a basket from Trevion Armstrong.
Petersburg came right back and drew the foul but Quadree Walker made only one of two putting the Crimson Wave within one point at 61-60.
But then came the huge 3-pointer from Morgan from the wing that put Matoaca up by its largest margin of the game at 64-60 with under four minutes to go.
"I was proud of the way our guys never quit. They were able to close the gap on those one or two plays down the stretch," said Matoaca coach Charles Payton. "These guys invested so much during the off-season."
Still Petersburg did not panic as Frankie Barksdale drew the foul and cut the lead down to 64-61 with 3:39 to go.
But Matoaca was relentless as it was Myles Markland's turn who delivered on his pair of foul shots giving the visitors their largest lead at 66-61 with 2:38 to go.
Petersburg was then able to catch a break as Gemonte Jackson was fouled from the 3-point line where he made two of three shots putting the home team at 66-63 with 2:06 left.
Matoaca countered that with another basket by Resean Bolton who had been close to five fouls in the fourth quartr.
Both teams would continue to trade baskets and foul shots until Petersburg was given its last chance with 15 seconds left only down by one at 72-71.
With 15 seconds left, Petersburg tried to get the shot it wanted but Adams who drove from the wing fell short on his five-foot shot giving Matoaca the district win.
"We came apart and started to feel the pressure. They were able to make their run when they needed to," said Petersburg coach Rick Hite. "With 15 seconds left he got the five-foot shot but the ball didn't go in where usually he makes that shot all the time. It's hard because the game should have never come down to this."
Morgan led the Warriors with 18 points while Allen was a close second with 17 points. Whereas for Petersburg, Gevon Arrington led with 20 points with Adams adding 15 points.
Petersburg falls to 3-1 in the district and 3-2 overall and will travel this afternoon to Highland Springs at 2:30 p.m.
Coleman 11, Markland 4, Armstrong 5, Lewis 9, Morgan 18, Bolton 7, Brown 2, Allen 17 Totals: 24 (13-26) 3-pointers: 4 (Armstrong, Morgan 2, Bolton)
Arrington 20, Walker 3, Byers 2, Jackson 4, Douglas 11, Barksdale 4, Watson 5, Adams 15, Blackwell 4 Totals: 17(22-32) 3-pointers: 4 (Arrington, Douglas, Watson, Adams)

THEN: The Rev.
Dr. William G. Starr, born in 1840 in Rappahannock, Va., was president of the college
at the beginning of the 20th century. The son of an itinerant Methodist preacher,
Starr graduated from Randolph-Macon in 1859 and earned his license to preach the
following year. He served in the Confederate army for four years during the Civil
War, and became Randolph-Macon's 9th president in 1899. The editors of the 1900
Yellow Jacket Annual wrote: Since Dr. Starr accepted the presidency of our college,
the institution has taken on new life, and the friends of dear old Randolph-Macon
look with strong faith and buoyant hope to the educational work which we are expected
to do in the future. Starr's unanticipated resignation came in 1902. Professor Robert
Emory Blackwell was named acting president, and then elected president the following
year. These turn-of-the-century presidents probably focused primarily on courses
of study, faculty selection, and student life.
NOW: Roger H. Martin became Randolph-Macon
College's 14th president in 1997. Selected from a pool of 55 candidates, he is only
the fifth president to serve Randolph-Macon in the 20th century. He is a former
president of Moravian College and associate dean of the Divinity School and lecturer
in church history at Harvard University. Since his arrival at the college, Dr. Martin
has organized a new strategic planning process, forged economic development ties
with the town of Ashland, made changes to enhance student life, and provided fund-raising
leadership for the college. The 1965 graduate of Drew University studied for a year
at Edinburgh University before receiving bachelor of divinity and master of sacred
theology degrees from Yale University and a doctor of philosophy degree from Oxford
University. He is a British historian and a scholar of Methodism's founder, John

FSFE Founder Georg Greve Awarded German Cross of Merit
Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) founding president Georg Greve was awarded the German Cross of Merit for his intervention on the part of free software and open standards.
The North Sea islander Georg Greve was given the award April 27 at the German Embassy in Berne, Switzerland. The honor was based on Greve's service as founder and long-time president of the FSFE, European speaker for the GNU Project and author of the "Brave GNU World" column for Linux Magazine. Emphasis was on his promoting open standards, of particular interest to the German state department, considering the recent Document Freedom Day.
In 2009 Greve gave up his eight-year presidency of the FSFE to Karsten Gerloff to become CEO of Kolab Systems in Zurich. The FSFE recently was granted the Theodor Heuss Medal for its vision and setting an example of democratic principles and collaborative values.

How To Help a Spirit Cross Over
It's extremely rare, but sometimes when people die they decide not to cross over.

What is AQI?
The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health concerns you should be aware of. The AQI focuses on health effects that can happen within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA uses the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect against harmful health. (EPA-454K-03-002, August 2003, http://www.airnow.gov/)

MAUI, Hawaii – Gonzaga University's men's basketball team will return to the 30th annual EA SPORTS Maui Invitational in 2013, organizers of the event announced Tuesday.
Joining the Bulldogs at the famed Lahaina Civic Center will be host Chaminade University, University of Arkansas, Baylor University, University of California, University of Dayton, University of Minnesota and Syracuse University.
Ticket information will be communicated to Bulldog Club members at a later date.
"The 2013 field represents the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational's longstanding commitment to bringing the top teams in the nation to the island of Maui," said tournament chairman David Odom. "With some of the country's top basketball programs and great coaching minds paired with devoted fan bases traveling to Maui in 2013, we are excited for another fun-filled and competitive week of Basketball in Paradise."
Three previous Maui champions, Syracuse (1990, 1998), Gonzaga (2009) and Dayton (2003) will return to the island in search of another Maui title and early-season bragging rights. The four Division I teams that will participate in the 2013 Opening Games and Regional Games, will be announced at a later date.
The Bulldogs will be making their fourth appearance in Maui, winning the title in 2009 behind Co-MVP's Steven Gray and Matt Bouldin. The Zags finished second in 2006, defeating Michigan State University in triple overtime in what is still considered one of the best games in tournament history and losing to the University of Connecticut in the title game. Adam Morrison was named the MVP.
Gonzaga's first trip to the islands came in 2002, beating the University of Utah in the first round, losing to Indiana University 76-75 in the semifinals and falling to the University of Kentucky 80-72 to finish fourth.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Social Security taxes may not be the only things going up for Wisconsinites as the result of avoiding Washington's fiscal cliff.
Oil industry analyst Jim Ritterbusch says gas prices in Milwaukee might go up to at least $3.50 a gallon this year. And when gas goes up, so do the prices of food and everything else that gets carried by motor vehicles.
Ritterbusch says there are, "plenty of hot spots in the Middle East that will force up crude oil prices."
Patrick DeHaan of GasBuddy.Com said the sparing of the fiscal cliff also reduces the possibility of a new recession. After the Great Recession took hold in 2008, gas prices dropped below $2 a gallon because lots of folks drastically cut back on their driving.
The AAA expects lower average fuel prices this year than in 2012. Pam Moen of the Wisconsin AAA predicts flat to modest gains in travel, as long as the economy shows some signs of getting better.
Thursday morning, the AAA said the average statewide price for regular unleaded is $3.21 a gallon, down a fraction of a cent from Wednesday. That's also down by over 6 cents from a year ago.

Warriors 97

Timberwolves 94
(25-31, 13-14 home)
Coverage: FSN
8:00 PM ET, April 4, 2012
Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves don't appear to have much left in the tank.
Golden State's Charles Jenkins is just getting warmed up.
David Lee had 31 points and eight rebounds, and Jenkins scored seven of Golden State's final nine points to help the Warriors rally from a 20-point deficit to top the reeling Timberwolves 97-94 on Wednesday night.
Jenkins finished with 19 points and seven assists and Richard Jefferson scored 13 on 5 of 7 shooting for the Warriors, who snapped a six-game losing streak. They trailed by 20 with less than two minutes to play in the first half, but outscored Minnesota 40-19 over the next eight minutes of game time.
The Warriors led by 10 with seven minutes to play, but the Wolves tied it with 90 seconds to go. Then Jenkins, a virtually unknown rookie second-round draft pick from Hofstra, scored on a driving layup with 20 seconds to go to put the Warriors up for good.
"I've always practiced those situations as a kid," Jenkins said. "I think every kid practices the five-four-three-two-one or taking the big shot."
Jenkins has started five of the past six games with star guard Stephen Curry out because of another ankle injury, and he's responded in a major way. He had 27 points and six assists against Portland on March 25, then 18 points and 12 assists against the Nets on March 30.
He went 8 of 13 from the field on Wednesday, getting to the rim at will against the Wolves.
"I continue to be pleased. I'm not surprised because he's a gamer," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "He's a guy that works his tail off, competes, defends, not afraid to get into the paint area, made plays and was one of the best players on the floor tonight."
Love had 29 points and 12 rebounds and Wayne Ellington scored 10 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter for the Timberwolves, who have lost four in a row and five of their past six to fall out of playoff contention.
J.J. Barea had 15 points and eight assists in his return from a six-game absence because of a bruised thigh. But he also committed seven of Minnesota's 19 turnovers.
"We deserved every boo we got," Love said.
Barea's 3-pointer from the elbow tied it at 94 with 1:24 to play, but playing with the bravado his coach did during a brilliant NBA career, Jenkins drove to the basket and somehow scooped a shot in for a 96-94 lead.
"Those are game-winning plays and that's what you have to have," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. "We were doing that before and we're not doing that now."
The Wolves had a chance to tie it with 0.7 seconds left, but Love's 3 at the buzzer was just short.
Ricky Rubio (torn left ACL), Nikola Pekovic (right ankle), Michael Beasley (left big toe) and Barea have all missed big chunks of time in March with injuries and Luke Ridnour (sprained right ankle) was the latest to go down on Monday. But the Wolves were still 4½ games back of Houston for the eighth spot in the West heading into the day.
Love leads the league in minutes played and said "everybody's tired at this point." But Adelman didn't want to hear fatigue mentioned when the Warriors were playing the second game of a back-to-back.
"It's inexcusable," Adelman said. "I just don't understand what was going through our minds, especially the situation we're in. If we're not tougher mentally than that, then we're going to have a hard time. We're going to have a hard time."
The Warriors showed little interest in the early going, settling for jumper after jumper. They scored six points in the first eight minutes of the second quarter and were down 49-29 after Ellington's 3-pointer with 1:53 to play in the half.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the Warriors came alive. They scored 10 straight points in less than a minute to cut the halftime deficit to 12, then poured it on with a 38-point third period. Klay Thompson started knocking down those jumpers that were missed early in the game, and Lee's work on the boards helped offset Love's usual dominance.
"We could've very easily folded the tent," Jackson said. "Give our guys credit, they bounced back, they made plays, the third quarter was huge for us."
Game notes
Pekovic started the game 4 for 4, giving him 11 straight made field goals, a streak that was snapped with his first shot of the second half. ... Wolves rookie Derrick Williams had just three points and four rebounds in 13 minutes. ... The Warriors entered the night second in the NBA in 3-point shooting at .387, but hit just 25 percent on Wednesday night.
