ReNew Life - 3 Day Diet Cleanse 6 Twist & Drink Bottles (Am Berry Energize (3) 2oz (59ml) Bottles + Pm Citrus Eliminate (3) 2 oz (59mL) Bottles
ReNew Life - 3 Day Diet Cleanse 6 Twist & Drink Bottles. Renew Life 3-Day diet Cleanse is a powerful dula-action morning and evening formula developed to help jumpstart your weight loss program and naturally enhanced energy, reduce boating and fatigue , and promote regularity.
ReNew Life 3 Day Diet Cleanse Contains:
ReNew Life 3 Day Diet Cleanse Also Contains:
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I take fiber with any part of the cleanse?It is best to separate fiber from your cleanse or other supplements by 30 to 60 minutes. Fiber may be taken with food or on an empty stomach, at any time of the day.
How do I take other supplements with cleanses?Other natural supplements should be separated from any part of a cleanse by at least one hour.
Can I take my probiotic supplement with the cleanse?Yes, you may take your probiotic with the cleanse. An enteric-coated probiotic may be taken at any time, as the delivery system will carry the probiotic safely and directly to the intestines.
Can I increase the dosage of any of the cleanses?ReNew Life does not suggest increasing the dosage beyond the recommended amount for any of the cleanses, with the exception of CleanseSMART Part 2, which may be increased if necessary for better elimination.
Can cleanses be used for children?No. The only cleanse that is available for children is ParaGONE for KIDS. Children 16 years or older and over 100 pounds may take any of the cleanses at half the recommended dose.
Can I open capsules if I can't swallow them?Yes. You may empty the contents of the capsules for most of the cleanses into soft foods such as applesauce or plain yogurt. However, ReNew Life does not suggest doing so for the ParaGONE or CandiGONE cleanses, as some of the ingredients contained in the capsules may irritate the esophagus.
Can I take my medications with the cleanses?Some herbs should not be taken in conjunction with medications. It is best to ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of herbs that should be avoided with the medication(s) you are taking.
If I have a medical condition can I still use the cleanses?Anyone with a medical condition should consult his or her doctor before using a cleansing product.
Can I take all of the H.O.P.E. formula supplements with the cleanses?H.O.P.E. is a great accompaniment to all of the cleanses, as high fiber, oils, probiotics and enzymes help to provide digestive support while cleansing. Of course, one would experience the most benefit by taking products in all four of the categories, but taking any of the four would be beneficial to the digestive tract for ongoing daily support.
Will any ReNew Life cleanses make me "run" to the bathroom?Everyone has different bowel habits. Some people eliminate 2 to 3 times per day, while others eliminate less frequently. The cleanses are not designed to make you run constantly to and from the restroom, but adjustments may be made to the evening colon cleansing formula in order to establish a regular, healthy elimination schedule.
How will I know the cleanse is working?Everyone will respond differently to cleansing. Typical cleansing responses may include one or more of the following: slight headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, minor flu-like symptoms and sometimes minor skin eruptions. These responses usually last about 2 to 3 days, depending upon how the body responds. Every person responds differently to cleansing. Results may vary, but many people experience a general sense of well being and increased energy.
If I do not take FiberSMART and OilSMART with the cleanse, will it still be effective?Yes. However, the fiber and oils will help you obtain the maximum benefits of the cleanse. Be sure to include a lot of high-fiber foods in the diet (25-35 grams a day) if you are not taking a fiber supplement, as fiber helps absorb and eliminate toxins and waste from the intestines. If too little fiber is consumed, bowel movements may not be regular and toxins that are not eliminated may be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream and the body.
Can I take more than one cleanse at a time?Generally, ReNew Life recommends taking only one cleanse at a time, but there are some exceptions. You may combine Liver Detox only with any of the other cleanses, except for Total Kidney Cleanse, as long as you have previous experience using these cleanses separately and know how your body responds to each cleanse. They suggest starting out with a half dose of both for the first three days and on the fourth day, increasing one cleanse to full dose followed by the other after another three days.
How long can I use a cleanse?Generally, the cleanses can be used for a maximum of 3 months straight without a break, unless there are special breaks specific to certain cleanses. These include Total Kidney Cleanse, which is taken 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off and then 2 weeks on again, and ParaGONE, which is taken for 15 days, with a 5-day break, then 15 days back on again. This pattern should be followed if these cleanses are repeated.
What if I forget a dose?Do not attempt to double up on a dose, but continue taking the cleanse as suggested the following day. You may end up with an extra dose at the end of the cleanse, and that is fine.
About ReNew Life
The Renew Life's MissionTheir mission is to empower each and every one of their valued customers with the knowledge to improve their overall health through optimum digestive function and superior nutrition. We accomplish this goal by providing safe and effective natural solutions to digestive care issues through their innovative product line and continued commitment to education.
Optimum health begins with a properly functioning digestive system, which is why every ReNew Life product is specifically formulated to provide the highest level of digestive support. Their product line consists of formulations that address a broad range of digestive concerns as well as help to cleanse and support the digestive system. Because it is their sole focus, they are able to concentrate entirely on providing the finest digestive care products available. This exclusive focus sets us apart from other companies within the industry—at ReNew Life, "Digestive care is all they do."
Improving Lives Through EducationReNew Life is committed to providing the tools necessary to improve the health of people everywhere. Each day brings new breakthroughs in the field of natural digestive care and functional nutrition, and their skilled education team is there to help retailers and their staff stay informed. Just as important is their consumer helpdesk, staffed by experts readily accessible to answer questions and give digestive care advice about any of their products.
The Quality Difference ReNew Life is committed to providing the highest-quality natural digestive care products to improve people's well being. Their accomplished Research and Development team adheres to strict quality control procedures during the formulation of each supplement to ensure the purity, potency and efficacy of every product we develop. For all of their products, they select only the finest natural ingredients free of harsh contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and PCBs. Each ingredient is then subject to their rigorous screening process, which combines the latest in advanced testing technologies, including atomic absorption, high-pressure liquid chromatography, and shelf-stability analysis.
Perhaps as important as the ingredients that are in our products are the ingredients that are not in our products: excipients such as binders, fillers, disintegrates or other chemicals or artificial ingredients that work against the body's natural cleansing and detoxification processes. Only after their ingredients have been carefully examined and assigned a Certificate of Analysis by their suppliers are they incorporated into the production process.
Expert Product Formulations & PurityThe ReNew Life manufacturing process utilizes cutting-edge technology and equipment to produce an exceptional-quality end product. Further, we adhere to strict cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards to ensure the consistency and reliability of each of our premium natural supplements.
While some supplement manufacturers use flow agents or lubricants to operate machinery at the highest output, we use a slower manufacturing process that does not require the use of such chemicals. Every ReNew Life product is delivered in powder, capsule or tincture form to further ensure the purity of each product and eliminate the need for any unnecessary ingredients.
Renew Life's Company HistoryReNew Life Formulas, Inc. was founded in 1997 by Brenda Watson and her husband Stan Watson. Having waged her own battle with poor health early on, it was Brenda's personal experience that inspired her to create a company based on the natural healing methods that helped restore her well being. She began by establishing five successful natural healthcare clinics, but soon came to a pivotal realization: there simply weren't any products available to provide the quality digestive support her patients needed. Her solution was to take on the challenge herself.
Armed with her valuable insight and experience, she began formulating her own line of natural supplements using only pure, raw ingredients found in nature. The results were astounding. Her patients saw a significant improvement in their health, and their overwhelming progress further fueled Brenda's passion and has made ReNew Life what it is today.

After a 18-day, statewide DUI enforcement program, six Bay Area counties have lowered their arrest totals from last year, and one county nearly doubled its arrests.
As part of the California AVOID Anti-DUI program, law-enforcement agencies, in a joint effort, set up DUI checkpoints throughout their county limits to crackdown on drunk driving.
Statewide arrests were down, according to Californi Highway Patrol records. The CHP made 1,363 this year. A year ago, 1,531 arrests were made during the same period.
In the Bay Area, only Marin County recorded an increase in arrests from a year ago. The joint effort in the "AVOID The 13 Marin County Campaign"
made 97 arrests, up from the 56 in 2011.
San Francisco, in its "AVOID The 8" campaign, arrests went down 23 percent. In 2011, the arrest total was 186. This year, the maximum enforcement DUI checkpoints tallied 144 arrests.
Santa Clara County made 73 fewer arrests this year; San Mateo County recorded 50 fewer arrests this year from last; Monterey County made 46
fewer arrests; Solano County recorded 21 fewer arrests; and Sonoma County tallied six fewer arrests. Alameda County did not record any figures on arrests throughout the 18-day program.
No DUI-associated fatal crashes were recorded in the Bay Area during the crackdown. In Santa Clara County, 29 injury traffic collisions were attributed to drunken driving during this period, and 36 injuries were from DUI traffic collsions, according to figures released by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.
The next statewide planned DUI crackdown effort, the winter mobilization, will run from mid-December through Dec. 31.Agency Total Arrests Campbell P.D. 4 CHP-Gilroy 37 CHP-San Jose 83 Gilroy P.D. 18 Los Altos P.D. 5 Los Gatos P.D. 5 Milpitas P.D. 12 Morgan Hill P.D. 22 Mountain View P.D. 26 Palo Alto P.D. 2 San Jose P.D. 90 Santa Clara P.D. 12 Santa Clara Co.

All day today I have felt like I could cry and wondered why then tonight I was sorting through some papers that caused me to remember the 4th was one of my due dates. I miscarried my little fireflies over 4 years ago. The twin miscarriage was probably the most traumatic.
I hurt for all of my lost babies. My arm ache to hold them, my ears still long to hear their cries, and I dream about sticky I love you mommy kisses. I know they are safely in heaven and there is no greater place for them but I still long for them. HAPPY 4th of July babies of mine. Give your FooFoo, my Mom hugs and kisses for me. I love you all!

LaRita R. Boren Campus Center
Converge. Impact. Contribute.
The Campaign
The community, the people, and the relationships are what make Taylor, Taylor. And when lives share a common faith yet have diverse backgrounds, it results in purposeful interactions between faculty and students, students and staff, and students and students. These intentional interactions—what the Bible refers to as "iron sharpening iron"—create discipleship, which will happen in a new campus center.
Watch the video below about how the new Campus Center will strengthen and extend Taylor's intentional community.
Our Discipleship Community
Within discipleship community, we are free to challenge one another on matters central to who we are as Christians. This way, we may better understand and carry out Biblical truth. Listen to these student stories to see how our discipleship community is continuing to grow, flourish, and impact student lives.
|Lauren is a Corporate Communications major from Decatur, Indiana who has been able to experience real community through discipleship.
View her story »
|Nate will graduate in 2014 with a degree in Biblical Studies. Coming into Taylor, Nate didn't know whether or not he should pursue going into ministry or medicine.

benzocaine topical (cont.)
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since benzocaine topical is used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid while taking benzocaine topical?
Avoid eating within 1 hour after using benzocaine topical on your gums or inside your mouth.
Benzocaine topical is for use only on the surface of your body, or just inside the mouth, vagina, or rectum. Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. Avoid swallowing the gel, liquid, or ointment while applying it to your gums or the inside of your mouth. The throat spray or oral lozenge may be swallowed gradually during use.
Do not apply other medications to the same affected areas you treat with benzocaine topical, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
What other drugs will affect benzocaine topical?
It is not likely that other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied benzocaine topical. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about benzocaine topical.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Arrows are common in the interfaces we interact with on a regular basis. Since they are used so frequent and in many different ways, they are easily misused leading to a confusing user experience.
My goal with this post is to categorize the usage of arrows, show some examples and give you some pointers (pun intended) if you've decided to use arrows in your interface.
Buttons and links
Arrows are sometimes used with buttons or placed next to links in order to make them more noticeable and clickable.
The classic iOS back button made to look like an arrow hinting clicking it will bring you back one step.
A link to a new page at m.adlibris.se.
I'm very skeptical towards placing arrows before or after regular links. A blue underlined piece of text looks more like a link and an arrow next to the text might fool the user thinking a click will expand more content instead of navigating to a new page.
Position indicators
Check out breadcrumb trails on some sites and you'll definitely see multiple arrows pointing to the current section.
The breadcrumbs pattern at telia.se.
Left panel navigation menus can use an arrow to show which page you are currently at.

Seven Steps to Ideal Weight
Quantum physics tells us that when we go beyond the mask of matter, the universe is revealed to be energy and information. Your body and the environment in which you live are intimately interwoven fields of energy and information. All living beings face the challenge of how to acquire energy and information from the environment and transform it into the energy and information of their bodies. Eating is the process of acquiring, and digestion is the process of using energy and information from our environment.
We describe the energy component of food by the number of calories it contains and the informational component of food by its nutrients—vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. To get the energy and information we require, we need food that supplies optimal levels of calories and nutrients.
Unfortunately, the common Western diet tends to provide too many calories and not enough vital nutrients. As a result, 60 percent of Americans are overweight and almost 40 percent are carrying enough excess weight to affect their health. Even our children are showing an alarming rise in the incidence of obesity.
The six tastes
The human brain sends hunger signals when it becomes aware of the need for energy and information. As we eat, our taste buds send messages to the brain informing it if we have ingested foods that provide the energy and information we need. The six tastes, known in Ayurveda as sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent are the codes that inform our nervous systems of a meal's nutritional content. If we sample foods that correspond to each of these tastes throughout the day, our meals will provide a wide assortment of health-promoting nutrients. If we do not have all flavors available, the brain is not satisfied and continues to send signals to eat more. As a result, we take in too many calories but remain malnourished
Additionally, in every category of taste, some foods are highly nutritious and others should be eaten more sparingly. Favor fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, cereals, breads, and nuts. If you do not want to become vegetarian, reduce your intake of red meats, favoring cold-water fish and egg whites. Minimize your intake of highly refined sugar and wheat products.
The role of emotions
Our emotions also play an essential role in our eating habits. We learned early in life how putting something in our mouths soothed upset feelings. Whether it was a breast, a bottle, a pacifier, or a thumb, all of us were conditioned to associate our mouths with comfort. It's not surprising that adults under stress resort to smoking, drinking, or excessive eating. In addition, when we experience stress, our bodies release hormones that cause us to conserve energy, and recent studies have shown that disturbed sleep patterns associated with stress increase levels of hormones responsible for appetite.
What can we do to regain and maintain our ideal weight? Commit to these seven practices for one month, and your b...

On the edge of Britain land and water meet. Tidal mudflats, saltmarshes and dunes combine to create a place which is home to fascinating plants and to a food supply that attracts bird visitors from thousands of miles away.
County: Northumberland
Main habitats: Coastal
Area: 3541 ha
The Reserve protects a long stretch of coast, including the dunes of Holy Island. Natural England works to ensure that the birds and plants of the area continue to survive in harmony with each other and the people who live and visit here.
Main habitats: Lindisfarne covers a mosaic of internationally important coastal habitats, including intertidal mudflats, rocky shore, sand dunes and saltmarsh.
Why visit: At Lindisfarne experience a sense of wilderness and tranquillity with its wide expansive sandy beaches, big skies and the ever present, ever changing North Sea. Along with the fabulous summer dune flowers and huge influx of visiting birds every autumn and winter, there's always something to see. Get the island experience as the Reserve also encompasses parts of Holy Island, which can only be reached at low tide across the causeway.
Star Species: Every autumn the skies fill will migratory birds escaping the cold arctic winters. Amongst them are the light bellied brent geese who travel from Svarlbard with their young families to feed on the rich mudflats, this is their only regular wintering site in Britain, accommodating 40% of the world population.
Pirri-pirri bur: (102kb) is a non-native plant which has colonised large areas of duneland. It can be a problem as they cling to clothing and fur; please be careful not to spread it to other sites. Refer to on-site signage for more information.
Dogs are required to be kept on a short lead or at heel at all times.
The Holy Island Partnership was formed in 2009 by the local community and organisations operating on the island. It seeks solutions to island issues and develops projects which help guide its future management and secure the islands rich historic, cultural and environmental diversity. Natural England is a partner.
To see what is happening on Lindisfarne NNR, have a look at our blog.
For more information about the reserve, guided walks or volunteering please contact the reserve base on 01289 381470.

Limits (Evaluating)
You should read Limits (An Introduction) first
Quick Summary of LimitsSometimes you can't work something out directly ... but you can see what it should be as you get closer and closer!
|For example:
|At x=1:
|(12-1)/(1-1) = (1-1)/(1-1) = 0/0
But 0/0 is "indeterminate", meaning we can't determine its value. But instead of trying to work it out for x=1 let's try approaching it closer and closer:
Now we can see that as x gets close to 1, then (x2-1)/(x-1) gets close to 2
We are now faced with an interesting situation:
- When x=1 we don't know the answer (it is indeterminate)
- But we can see that it is going to be 2
We want to give the answer "2" but can't, so instead mathematicians say exactly what is going on by using the special word "limit"
The limit of (x2-1)/(x-1) as x approaches 1 is 2
And it is written in symbols as:
So it is a special way of saying, "ignoring what happens when you get there, but as you get closer and closer the answer gets closer and closer to 2"
As a graph it looks like this:
So, in truth, you cannot say what the value at x=1 is.
But you can say that as you approach 1, the limit is 2.
Evaluating Limits
"Evaluating" means to find the value of (think e-"value"-ating)
In the example above we said the limit was 2 because it looked like it was going to be. But that is not really good enough!
In fact there are many ways to get an accurate answer. Let's look at some:
1. Just Put The Value In
The first thing to try is just putting the value of the limit in, and see if it works (in other words substitution).
Let's try some examples:
|Substitute Value
|(1-1)/(1-1) = 0/0
|10/2 = 5
It didn't work with the first one (we knew that!), but the second example gave us a quick and easy answer.
2. Factors
You can try factoring.
|By factoring (x2-1) into (x-1)(x+1) we get:
|Now we can just substitiute x=1 to get the limit:
3. Conjugate
If it's a fraction, then multiplying top and bottom by a conjugate might help.
|The conjugate is where you change
the sign in the middle of 2 terms like this:
Here is an example where it will help you to find a limit:
|Evaluating this at x=4 gives 0/0, which is not a good answer!
So, let's try some rearranging:
|Multiply top and bottom by the conjugate of the top:
|Simplify top using :
|Simplify top further:
|Eliminate (4-x) from top and bottom:
So, now we have:
4. Infinite Limits and Rational Functions
|A Rational Function is one that is the ratio of two polynomials:
|For example, here P(x)=x3+2x-1, and Q(x)=6x2:
By finding the overall Degree of the Function we can find out whether the function's limit is 0, Infinity, -Infinity, or easily calculated from the coefficients.
Read more at Limits To Infinity.
5. Formal Method
The formal method sets about proving that you can get as close as you want to the answer by making "x" close to "a".

That is a gorgeous blue. Any details on what it is?
Marvelous Mark just finished painting our two bedroom apartment and it is just fan-freaking-tatsic. We have a creamy oatmeal base and unbearably beautiful chocolate walls that are so very edible. Also, Mark helped me decide on a stunning coral for the workroom that I am sitting in right now. It is beyond gorgeous. Mark also painted the interior of a small house for us and that too is stunning. His choice of color is really, really wonderful, especially if you want to go with something dramatic. He is also the NEATEST painter ever. You will barely know he was there. We love our Mark!
I am in agreement with Patrick! I have been contemplating painting a brownstone parlor this exact blue. Anyone has any info to share on this lovely shade of blue?
Mark just painted my 1-bedroom apartment, and did a excellent job. He was very helpful with color selection (he supplemented my ideas with suggestions and recommendations), cleaned up the walls nicely, and kept things neat and orderly during the process. He also did a custom finish on the entry door based on a photo I showed him, and it looks great. Highly recommended. Would use Mark's services again.
Mark painted my one bedroom and he was amazing. He was fast, very helpful and VERY reasonable. He helped me choose colors and everyone who has been to vist absolutly loves his choices. He is fantastic! A real artist.
Mark just painted our entire two bedroom apartment--walls, ceiling, trim, the whole deal--and we couldn't be happier. The colors are amazing, exactly what we wanted; Mark has a great eye, obviously, and helped steer us away from a bland, beige apartment (or the light blue/gray or buttercream equivalent). The job was done efficiently, neatly, and conscientiously--he will not just slap paint on the walls and walk away, but will offer advice and help guide you to taking those color choices that really make a home outstanding. If only I had more walls to paint! Thanks Mark...(Oh, and the cost was more than reasonable especially given the results.) Hire without hesitation!
Mark painted my bathroom, entryway and bedroom two days ago. Fabulous! He and another painter, Brian, came and worked a tough 10 hour day, but it was all done and it looks great. Very easy to work with, very neat. Like others have said, the cost is extremely reasonable for the quality of work and the speed. Use Mark, period.
I wish there was a Mark in DC.
Mark, I love the pandas.
Mark painted my entire one bedroom this past weekend. I echo what was said above (meticulous, neat, good value) and add that he has an amazing eye. He helped us choose color and then suggested and executed a fantastic pattern on one long wall. We're thrilled. I recommend him highly and without reservation to anyone.
Mark just finished painting our entire apartment including two beautiful feature walls and animals in our daughter's room. He did an excellent job. He helped us pick colors (for almost 2 hours) and worked through various concepts for design walls. He was easy to work with, patient, dependable and very (very very) clean and he has a real dedication to the quality of his work. I highly recommend him.
Do you have a clone in DC?

Series: Evolution Basics (48 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
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.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
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.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.

Q&A with Mike Preston
Sun columnist answers readers' questions about the Ravens
- 1
- 2

- | single page
Mike Preston: Come on, Bill. How can you not be encouraged? The Ravens scored 13 points on a handicapped football team. Wow. Ooooh. Ahhhh. Look out Steelers, Bengals and Patriots.
Brian Billick approach. As far as he is concerned, the Ravens are 1-0, baby. It was good that the team finally won a game, any game. Overall, it was disappointing. The Ravens had two weeks to prepare, and this is the best they can come up with. There is no offensive cohesion. The Ravens ran the ball against the Jets, but only averaged 2.6 yards a carry against one of the worst run defenses in the league. Early impressions of the Ravens are they'll win between seven to nine games. Because the league is so weak (parity), they'll be in playoff contention, but unless we start seeing significant improvement, they're just an average football team. Of course, you can put on the purple sunglasses, drink the purple wine and say they're in first place and undefeated.
The Ravens, though, do have a secret weapon. It's me. I got a lot of credit for the Jets' win because my criticism of the offensive line, and general team play inspired them. I almost wanted to cry. I felt like part of the team. I thought Anthony Wright was going to high-five me. Deion Sanders actually asked the Lord to continue to bless me. Samari Rolle said, "So you're Mike Preston?" I was going to start signing autographs. For the first time, this former, Towson University wannabe felt like part of an NFL club. Now, I want my money for being a motivational expert. If that doesn't happen, at least give me a damn game ball.
Raving, Lompoc, Calif.: What is the deal with Ricard? You claim he was never hurt yet the Ravens claim he was injured for the first two games and then re-injured himself again this past week. Are we supposed to believe you or the organization? Please clue me in on why the Ravens would create an injury for him when he is really 100 percent?
Mike Preston: Let me give you a little history here. A couple of years ago I wrote that right offensive tackle Orlando Brown and offensive line coach Jim Colletto had a loud argument in the locker room after the Miami game. The Ravens denied it. Weeks later, both Colletto and Brown publicly admitted it, and joked about it.
Last year, I wrote the Ravens had chemistry problems in the locker room. Billick denied it during the regular season, but since has publicly acknowledged there were problems.
In the preseason, I wrote running back Jamal Lewis didn't want to play in a preseason game because of stalled contract negotiations. The Ravens said it wasn't true. Two days later, Lewis blasted the team publicly for failing to negotiate with his agent.
I wrote Billick and offensive coordinator Jim Fassel had a loud altercation earlier this season. Billick denied it even though there is physical proof that it happened. (Hint: Is it live or is it Memorex?)
So when the Ravens don't put Ricard on the injury list but say he is injured, and then Ricard not once, but twice denies it, what would you do? You let both sides say whatever they want, and let the readers decide. I don't think the Ravens were happy with the way Ricard practiced in the preseason, and the injury allowed them an excuse to try to become more balanced and throw the football instead of becoming a run-oriented team. Ricard, though injured, could have played. He wasn't happy with the situation and neither was halfback Jamal Lewis.
The bottom line with the Ravens is that they're a PR machine and they're going to deny a lot of things if it makes the organization look bad. Billick and the Ravens PR staff know me very well. We fight, but we respect each other. I know how the spin works, but they know I'm not just "throwing it out there." Their first question isn't, 'Is it true?' but 'Who leaked it to him?'
It drives the Ravens nutty trying to find out who leaks information, so much in fact, that Billick often puts my picture and stories up in power point presentations during team meetings. It got so bad one year that former Ravens defensive end Rob Burnett jokingly nicknamed me "Osama Bin Laden." Billick knows it won't work, but it might diminish some information coming out of the complex.
Regardless, it hasn't affected my relationships with players like Jamal and Ray Lewis, Adalius Thomas, Peter Boulware, Chris McAlister, Jonathan Ogden, Orlando Brown, Edwin Mulitalo, or former players like Burnett, Sam Adams, Tony Siragusa, Michael McCrary or Wally Williams.
They know I'm going to write whatever I feel about any issue. I'm going to challenge Billick and criticize anyone if they aren't playing well. Most importantly, they know that I cannot be manipulated by the organization, its owner, coach or PR staff.
Brian, Cockeysville: Thank you for taking the time to answer questions for fans and keep it real in your coverage of the Ravens. As I watched the game, I noted that Ravens almost NEVER throw 2 plays in a row. It would seem that after a big completion, the offense would want to keep the momentum and continue to throw the rock. Why do the Ravens insist on these dive-run plays when the offense gets on a roll?
Mike Preston: There have been a lot of times during the Billick era the Ravens have thrown two times in a row. At one point against Indianapolis in the season opener, the Ravens had 13 straight offensive plays, 12 of them passes. The game plan against New York was simple: run the ball and run it some more. With a quarterback that's unpredictable and a line that can't block, it was sound strategy against the Jets, a team that had one of the worst run defenses in the league. Will it work against the better teams? Nope. Biscuit told me that one.
Chris, Baltimore: I personally think the Ravens are a better team with Wright at the helm. I'll ask the obvious question: With Detroit, Cleveland and Houston on the horizon, the Ravens have a good chance to be 4-2. Do you think Billick will bring back Boller in the middle of a possible win streak?
Mike Preston: Win streak? That's funny. In past years, you could look at the schedule and pick out which games the Ravens would win or lose and feel good about it. Not any more, not after the disaster in Tennessee, not after that game against the Jets. What I saw Sunday were two struggling teams playing each other, and a Ravens team that had not gotten much better despite the bye week.
In all honesty Chris, I'm worn out from all the quarterback controversies through the years. Like you, I believe the offense is better with Anthony Wright than Kyle Boller, but it's not a significant upgrade. At this point, I don't care who runs this offense. It could be Wright. It could be Boller. Hell, they could bring in Barney and it isn't going to make much difference. But at least he has a purple uniform.

text: Leo arrives back in his office to find Jordan curled up on his couch under an Air Force blanket, half-asleep. She rouses herself and Leo says, "Boy, you're in the Air Force, the private sector, the Labour Department, two Presidential campaigns, and rehab, and you think you've seen it all but it turns out you haven't. 'Cause Sam Seaborn is going to be the Democratic candidate for Congress in Orange County." Jordan chuckles and says she thinks it's terrific: "But I would have thought you'd be unhappy." Leo replies, "Why?" Jordan says he's going to get crushed, and she doesn't think it would reflect well on POTUS. Leo: "Well...let me tell you something about process, Dr. Kendall. And I'll do so while tuning this radio to WNKW, 'The Music Of Your Life.' And begging the sun for one more moment of moonlight." That last line really hit. He delivered it perfectly. There are times when I think this show should just be all John Spencer, all the time. He continues, breaking the mood more than a little: "Speaking of the moon, Luna took power tonight. About three dozen people are dead, and Ignacio's under arrest. He'll be dead soon." Jordan: "Well...Luna's who you wanted." Leo replies, "The process matters more than the outcome and that's what we wanted. And therein endeth the lesson." Jordan smiles. Leo stands up, flashes her his beautiful smile, and asks, "Will you dance with me?" She says, "Yes," and gets up. They dance into the dawn. If Amy's still taking bets, I'll wager that somebody in the West Wing gets some tonight.

Hey all -
We have had such an amazing summer. Traveling to every corner of the country and meeting the most incredible people along the way is the best part of this job.
Being on the road so much isn't always easy, and is often the exact opposite of glamorous, but we know we've been called to this kind of life for a purpose. We know God has placed us where we are to reach this generation for His namesake.
We have faith that no matter what, we are called to run this race. And one that keeps us going is the encouragement we get through words.
Whose words?
Your words.
We get so many emails, letters, and messages reminding us why we do what we do. We have been so very encouraged this summer by hearing the testimonies of people whose lives have been impacted by Jesus.
More than anything, it's humbling. Because we know lives were changed, and it had nothing to do with us. We have simply offered our small offerings us to God, and asked Him to use them. We are doing our best to serve and be good stewards of that which God has placed into our hands.
So thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.
We have been blessed more than you know, and can't wait to keep on running this race together. Thank you for your words.

Child Care Providers: Safe Child-Staff Ratio and Group Size
Topic Overview
The number of children per adult care provider and the total group size are two important factors that indicate the quality and safety of a child care setting. The recommended guidelines for these factors vary by age. A report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests the following standards:1
When infants or toddlers are included in mixed age groups, the staff-to-child ratios and group size guidelines for the youngest child should be followed. Mixed age groups that do not include infants or toddlers should follow guidelines that reflect the most common age.
