Quantitative Analysis Reports
Medicaid Expansion Would Lighten Spending Burden
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
As many as 40 percent of the nation's 1.3 million uninsured veterans could qualify for Medicaid under provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new analysis suggests. Whether veterans receive these benefits depends on which states opt to expand Medicaid.
Despite the far-reaching Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), large numbers of low-income uninsured adults won't be eligible because of their immigration status. This brief provides the first state-specific estimates of the number of uninsured low-income adults who fall into that category.
Fifty-five percent of the public say establishing the exchanges is a "top priority," according to a survey released by RWJF, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation, hospitals will likely gain $2.59 in new revenue from Medicaid participants for every dollar lost from private health insurance revenue.

Metrics Matter: Real-time 360° Visibility Improves Project Outcomes
Blog by Doug Akers, Product Management, MKS Inc.
It has been some time since we last took a deep look at metrics and how to measure the various aspects of development. At the time when I wrote "Metrics Matter" the market was very much centered around IT organizations and doing more with less and so the types of numbers being prescribed aligned with cost savings and maximizing productivity as would be expected. We grouped the metrics that were of most interest to CIO's into five categories team efficiency (productivity), process efficiency (predictability), project efficiency (cost/schedule), value and effectiveness (alignment) and quality (uh quality) and today, for the most part, these categories still hold true (although we call them by new names).

(WHAS11)-- A New York man caught an uninvited guest drinking his milk, eating his food and living in a crawl space above his kitchen.
The 2009 video has caught the attention of YouTube, with over 3 million hits, some users are questioning the legitimacy of the scene.
The owner of the apartment, Joe Cummings, claims it was not staged. He said he set the camera up in attempt to catch his girlfriend drinking his milk, but upon witnessing the girl crawl from the ceiling he immediately left his apartment and called police.
The officers estimated the girl had been living in his apartment for a number of weeks.
Officers told Cummings it was not the first report of a subject living in someone's home.

Caught by Harlan Corben challenges as much as it thrills, filled with the astonishing tension and unseen suburban machinations that have become aspects of his style.
From the internationally No.1 bestselling master of suspense comes a fast-paced, emotion-packed novel about guilt, grief, and our capacity to forgive. Seventeen-year-old Haley McWaid is a good girl, the pride of her suburban New Jersey family, captain of the lacrosse team, headed off to college next year with all the hopes and dreams her doting parents can pin on her. Which is why, when her mother wakes one morning to find that Haley never came home the night before, and three months quickly pass without word from the girl, the community assumes the worst.
Wendy Tynes is a reporter on a mission, to identify and bring down sexual predators via elaborate and nationally televised sting operations. Working with local police on her news program Caught in the Act, Wendy and her team have publicly shamed dozens of men by the time she encounters her latest target.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The United States needs to establish a permanent group that advises the government on vaccine safety and spend more money to address safety concerns about vaccines, the Institute of Medicine said on Friday.
The institute, one of the National Academies of Sciences that advises U.S. policymakers, called for a stronger, more focused national vaccine strategy that sets the nation's vaccine research agenda.
"While the immunization system has functioned well through the years, we may have missed opportunities," Claire Broome of Emory University, Atlanta, who chaired the committee that wrote the report, said in a statement.
The committee reviewed a draft of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Vaccine Plan, which sets the national agenda for protecting Americans from vaccine-preventable illness.
"Because vaccines and immunization constitute a major public health matter that involves multiple government agencies and has great importance to the public's health, an effective coordinating entity is needed," the committee said in the report.
They said the National Vaccine Program Office at HHS, which has taken a lead in ensuring the safety of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, could serve this purpose, but it currently lacks adequate authority and influence.
They said the revised plan also should include a strategy to speed the development of high-priority vaccines, and expand funding for safety research and monitoring - including the development of a national communications strategy to bolster public confidence in vaccines.
Increasingly, fears about possible health threats such as autism from childhood vaccinations have led a small proportion of parents to refuse the shots for their children. That has raised the prospect that vaccine-preventable illnesses such as measles and whooping cough may reappear in clusters.
The committee said it found no evidence of an overarching strategy to address misinformation about vaccines.
"Simply promoting the use of vaccines no longer meets the needs of individuals and families seeking to make informed decisions amidst a maelstrom of conflicting messages," the committee wrote in the report.
They said communication about vaccine safety "has been largely reactive to crises, and has been conducted by a small and underresourced staff" at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
They said information about vaccine safety needs to be communicated in a strategic and comprehensive manner to help inform decision making about vaccine use.
The committee also called for research and development of a single vaccine that would work against all influenza viruses.
And they called for a centralized research agenda, noting that most vaccine research and development in the United States stems from the interests of individual researchers, rather than a set of national priority targets.

Buzzy The Knowledge Bug is a series of children's computer games made by Humongous Entertainment. Each game played out like a visual encyclopedia, where you would be going through the farm, the airport, or the jungle (depending on the game). You would be able to trigger the many click points to see all the random inanimate objects come to life, as well as use the "What is this?" command to click on anything in the scenery and be taken to its definition in the index. Each game also included five mini-games, three which were always a coloring book, an "I Spy" styled Find It game, and Trivia. Two of them, on the other hand, changed from game to game. One of them was a puzzle game (Hangman in The Farm, "What is It?" in The Airport, and an unscramble-the-word game in The Jungle), but the other was an arcade-styled game.The games consisted of:

The effects of a computer-mediated intervention on "at-risk" preschool students' receptive vocabulary and computer literacy skills.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Alman, Lourdes Fraga
Description: This study examined the effects of a computer-mediated intervention on "at-risk" preschool students' receptive vocabulary development, computer-literacy skills, and enthusiasm for leaning. Twenty-two preschool-aged children attending an urban primary public school and participating in government subsidized school lunch program participated in the study. A pretest/posttest control-group design and case-study participant observations were used for data collection. Students were assigned to one of two treatment groups. Eleven preschool students with pretest School Readiness Composite (SRC) standard scores of 80, or below, on the Bracken Basic Concept Scale-Revised (BBCS-R), were assigned to the intervention group. Eleven pre-school students matched by age level and teacher comprised the comparison group. The intervention group received computer-mediated instruction while the comparison group received classroom teacher instruction. The first research question examined the effect of the intervention on students' receptive vocabulary analyzing groups' pretest and posttest BBCS-R School Readiness Composite mean scores. Combined analysis of a Two-Factor Repeated Measures and a Posttest only ANCOVA revealed that computer-mediated instruction was as effective as classroom teacher instruction in helping "at-risk" students acquire readiness receptive vocabulary. The second research question examined the effect of the intervention on "at-risk" student's computer-literacy skills analyzing participants pretest and posttest mean scores on the ...

The effects of a therapeutic play intervention on hispanic students' reading achievement, self-concept, and behavior
Date: December 2000
Creator: Lopez, Helen Trevino
Description: This study employed a pretest/posttest control group design to investigate the achievement of second grade Hispanic students from a predominantly low socio-economic school in a large metropolitan city. The thirty Hispanic students with the lowest scores on the Gates MacGinitie Reading Test were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n =15) or the control group (n=15). The treatment consisted of 16, 30-minute sessions of play intervention--2 times per week for 8 weeks. The providers of play therapy were school personnel trained in the principles of child-centered play therapy including tracking, reflecting feelings, and setting limits. Instruments were administered to all subjects prior to the 8 week treatment period and in the two-week period following treatment and included the GMRT, the Joseph Pre-School Primary Self-Concept Test (JPPSCST) and the Child Behavior Checklist Teacher Report Form (CBCTRF). Statistical analyses included a (t-test; 2 tail; p > .05), discriminant analysis, and cross validation. The results indicated that children who received play therapy did not achieve notably higher mean scores in reading. However, play therapy did improve the experimental group's self-concept scores and their internal behavior scores, though not significantly. All differences between the experimental and the control groups were within 1 point except ...

Effects of background music on preschoolers' attention.
Date: December 2009
Creator: Dartt, Kevin Maurine
Description: Background music is often used in preschool classrooms with the belief that music makes children smarter and increases attention. The purpose of this study was to determine if background music increased children's focused attention during play activities. Focused attention occurs when children maintain attention to a task regardless of distractions. This quasiexperimental study investigated background music and play in a laboratory setting. I videotaped individual children during play with math manipulatives in a pretest-posttest research design with background music used as the treatment. Forty-three 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds played for 15 minutes. The first 5 minutes of play had no music (pretest), the second 5-minute play episode had background music (treatment), and the final 5-minute play episode had no background music (posttest). Data were analyzed using one-way repeated measures analysis of variance. Findings revealed that the subjects paid less attention to the play task with background music than they did during the pretest, with no music. Another key finding was that children with more musical experiences at home, as reported by the Child's Home Musical Experience Survey (CHIMES), exhibited longer periods of focused attention with background music. This study confirmed previous research that 3-year-old children have shorter focused attention than ...

English language learners: Does summer school make a difference in young children's literacy scores?
Date: August 2006
Creator: Wickert, DeAnna S.
Description: Many school districts consider literacy and oral language as a top priority for pre-kindergarten students. In the district under study, pre-kindergarten English language learner (ELL) students are encouraged to attend a special summer school program to increase their oral language ability in English. This study compared three groups of children: ELL students attending summer school v. ELL students not attending summer school v. English speaking students not attending summer school. The students' primary reading inventory scores from the end of pre-kindergarten to the middle of kindergarten in the areas of reading, writing and oral language were compared. As expected, ELLs who attended summer school showed significant growth in oral language development from the beginning of summer school to the end of summer school. While it was hypothesized that ELL students attending summer school would show more improvement in oral language than other children over time, there was no significant difference between summer school and non-summer school children's scores by the middle of kindergarten.

Exploring Team Performance as an Independent Variable: Can Performance Predict Resource Allocation?
Date: December 2007
Creator: Lopez, Nicolette P.
Description: Encouraging positive work team growth depends on, in part, the form and availability of organizational resources and support. Support systems have been found to be important for work team health and survival. However, managers are challenged to make resource decisions while working within company budgetary restraints. Previous research has indicated a positive relationship exists between teams provided with appropriate resources and support, and increased team performance. This study extended previous research by exploring if team performance can predict resources and support. Specifically, the means by which managers allocate resources based on team performance was examined. Archival data included 36 work teams and their managers drawn from four geographically dispersed manufacturing companies. Information gathered from a modified version of an original team support system instrument was used to assess the importance and presence of four resource systems. Additionally, a gap score was calculated from these scores to assess the alignment between resource need and resource existence. Data was used to assess the potential relationships between managers' perceptions of team performance and the manner by which resources are allocated. All hypotheses produced non-significant findings. Results of the hypotheses, data patterns, and limitations of the study are discussed, and opportunities for future research ...

Gottshall Early Reading Intervention: A phonics based approach to enhance the achievement of low performing, rural, first grade boys.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Gottshall, Dorothy Lee
Description: Learning to read is critical for quality of life and success in our society. Children who cannot read well face unsuccessful educational careers and limited job choices. Recently, policy makers and educators have made progress toward increasing the reading achievement of America's children. Still up to 60% of boys who live in poverty cannot read or read two years below grade level. In this experimental study, I designed and examined the effects of the Gottshall Early Reading Intervention (GERI) to determine if direct instruction with a small group, phonics based approach would increase the literacy achievement of low performing, rural, first grade boys. Participants were selected according to Texas Primary Reading Inventory (TPRI) scores, matched them across race, ethnicity, and socio-economic status, and randomly assigned them to experimental/control group. Three times per week for 15 weeks, boys in the experimental group attended 30-minute pullout sessions taught by trained professionals in addition to classroom reading instruction. Control group members received classroom reading instruction only. Findings reveal no significant differences in reading gains across all variables. However, descriptive data indicate higher percentages of gains for the experimental group on four out of five reading components with rate of gain higher on fifth. ...

The Great Debate continued: Does daily writing in kindergarten lead to invented spelling and reading?
Date: May 2003
Creator: Pierce, Laura Boehl
Description: Many children in the United States cannot read on level by fourth grade. Traditionally, teachers have delayed reading instruction until first grade. However, involving children sooner in literary activities may provide skills needed to enable them to read on grade level. The purpose for this study was to determine the extent to which daily writing in kindergarten influences the development of invented spelling and learning to read. Five teachers modeled writing with 78 kindergarten children who wrote every day or almost every day for 20 weeks. There were 51 children in an experimental group, and 27 in a control group who were given a pretest and a posttest using the Observation Study (Clay, 1993). Results from a mixed model ANOVA indicated a significant difference between the control group and the experimental group on the Dictation Task F (1, 76) = 11.76, P≤ .001 and the Writing Test F (1, 76) = 4.33, P≤ .01. Results from a z-Test of dependent proportions indicated there were significant differences in the reading levels of the control group from the pretest to the posttest (z = 7.51, P ≥ .05) because (z = 7.51, Zcv = 1.96). The experimental group results from pretest to ...

Growing in Favor with God: Young Children's Spiritual Development and Implications for Christian Education
Date: May 2009
Creator: Thomson, Donna R.
Description: Experts do not agree on the definition of spiritual development although positive spiritual development benefits society in many ways. Without agreement on the definition of spiritual development and a common understanding of spiritual development, parents, teachers, and pastors who are entrusted with the task of fostering positive spiritual development in Christian settings face the challenges of determining what spiritual development is (definition), the desired goals (culmination) of spiritual development, and the most effective ways to meet those goals (context and content). The purpose of this study was to use data, from the social sciences and Christian points of view, to inform Christian education programs and arrive at recommendations for fostering young children's spiritual development. Data sources include textual literature from the social science and Christian points of view. In addition, the researcher gathered interview data from twenty children's pastors. Research results included: 1. It is possible that spirituality is associated with sensory awareness. 2. Examining spirituality as sensory awareness may lead to focusing on innate qualities of spiritual capacity with a more focused inclusion of children with special needs in faith-based programs, a God-given conscience, and consideration that children may be born with spiritual gifts to express their spiritual nature. ...

Home Literacy Practices in Diverse Families: Parental Involvement in Kindergarten Children's Literacy Development
Date: May 2013
Creator: Gonzalez, Lauren
Description: Although prior research has shown that parental involvement positively affects a child's literacy development, attention should also be directed to the factors that keep parents from being involved in their children's education. The study reported in this dissertation examined five factors: socioeconomic status, level of education, employment, culture, and language that may be influential in parental assistance of their children's literacy development in the home. The data sources for this investigation included interview responses and a demographic survey. Data from 17 parents, each from a different household, and each with a child in kindergarten were obtained and used for the study. For analyses of these data, content analysis was used to identify similar themes among the interview responses and the demographic survey. Results indicated the following: (1) the time parents spent assisting their child with literacy activities was affected by long work hours, (2) parents with a yearly income of $25,000 or less were unable to provide additional literacy materials for their children, (3) lack of multicultural literature caused culturally diverse parents to feel devalued, and (4) parents who did not speak English fluently lacked the strategies to assist their children in completing English literacy homework. The findings suggest there ...

Incarcerated mothers in Cuenca, Ecuador: Perceptions of their environment and the impact it has on the lives of their young children and their education.
Date: May 2008
Creator: McBride, Rachel L.
Description: The number of children whose mothers are incarcerated is increasing around the world. Educators of young children are faced with new challenges in their classrooms as they work with these children during their formative years for social-emotional development. The purpose of this qualitative study was to interview the mothers, in order to gain their perspective on how they feel their incarceration has affected their relationship with their children; how they believed it would affect their children in the future, and to investigate the perceptions of early childhood teachers who worked with children of incarcerated mothers. Using interviews, observations, journal, and field notes the researcher collected information from 3 incarcerated mothers, 3 of their children, and the 2 teachers who worked with these children. Overall findings were that the mother-child relationships are of extreme importance to the mothers. They have high hopes for a better life for their child, which includes concerns about their education. Mothers had fears that their incarceration would repeat itself in their children and desired for things to be different in their children's futures. They reported their incarceration affecting their children in negative ways. Their children had difficulty depicting their mothers in their drawings. Lastly, the teachers ...

Jokes aside
Actually "A significant amount of research has been done on what motivates students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. The literature shows it is particularly important to demonstrate the social relevance of the topic and its interesting applications if one wishes to attract women and under-represented minorities." (this is taken from a survey paper in Acoustics Today).
Personally, I don't think much of it (nor did the few women colleagues I've asked), but who knows -- maybe news items such as the mammography one would prove to be a boost to women participation.

a nation's gotta make stuff
Interesting to to hear a major British engineer like Noble, despite being contingent on investment, having the guts to observe the nonsensical quality of our having run down our manufacturing base under both Tory and Labour governments. We powerless plebs long thought it could not be right, but were pursuaded when finer minds than ours told us we didn't understand economics and that our great leap forward into becoming a nation of media and financial services was better for us all and not just a channel to private wealth for the few. Now it transpires that we had a point, Fred the Shred and his ilk are off to the Caribbean as fast as poss, and the media and financial sectors are in a feet-of-clay meltdown. Now it turns out money is just a promissory note after all, there's really no satisfaction in having been right.
Stealing from Science
"The spin-out companies concerned are now part of Siemens, to the gratification of all hands (cough)."
Since there's at least one piece of "intellectual property" featured on the site of the "technology transfer" operation at Oxford which looks suspiciously like a software patent, I guess British innovation is very much like innovation elsewhere: awarding illegitimate monopolies from the public purse.
"universal use of LEDs in place of incandescent or fluorescent lights would cut the national 'leccy bill by 15 per cent."
Going to question that, I thought the savings would be higher.
a couple of points
"The spin-out companies concerned are now part of Siemens,"
sixth l;argest manufacturing sector in the world? Seriously? Measured on what? Total output compared to other nations (counts), total output compared to other nations per capita (doesn't count), or compared to other nations as a percentage of GNP (doesn't count)?
Source, please.
No icon, 'cos I don't reckon Paris' are big enough to be included in trials
Lumens per watt is highest from those sodium lamps. LED's are not as efficient.
For everyone though the key question is, who gets paid more ? A graduate accountant, or a graduate engineer ? Even that Kay bloke from Oxford got his degree in Chemistry, but is infact, working one of the Big 4 Accounting firms in Reading. There's a reason for that.
@when did i miss THAT meeting??
One of my chemistry teachers at school got his doctorate researching the stabilty of d9-tetrahydracannabinol* - he had a license to grow up to 32oz per year (this was in the 60s, when weights were real) - which, as he phrased it "wasn't bad, since we only needed 50g (2oz) for our research"
Alas though, as source of grow tips he was less useful than my biology teacher who showed us which of the constituents of budgie seed** were cannabis seeds.
*(no delta symbol on my keyboard, and I'm not sure of the spelling...)
** Which may go some ways to explain James Hunt's hobby
Not getting the connection between building a land speed vehicle and squeezing breasts to model "what happens when you let go of them". I'd say that the resulting affect of breast squeezing is nipple erection and arousal/stimulation. I'll have to do some "research" to confirm this, however. LOL!!!!
Paris, as she can always volunteer to assist with my "research", especially considering that it appears that she got a boob job and I've heard that the bewbies are "less sensitive" following this procedure.
Quite right Lewis ..
I don't think one can be too cynical about the puffery associated with the supersonic car project.
UK engineering is short of investment - in projects, research, facilities and infrastructure. Investment would drive innovation, and with that would come the bright engineers and scientists, and dare I say it .. profits. Sadly in every respect the UK is becoming ever more short-term.
I know the supersonic car is a great bit of tech, but in what sense is it engineering? It has been done before - how will it develop new technology, which is both neccesary, and could be exploited either for its own sake, or for profits? In what way will it generate the employment that will attract new blood? it seems more like a nostalgic trip down memory lane!
I still don't understand why we should be saving energy on interior lighting...
Most of the year in the UK we spend money heating the structures we live and work in.
The "inefficiency" of conventional tungsten lighting is given out as heat.
So why are we worrying about efficient lighting for interior spaces? If we were talking about Australia, where aircon is a significant energy consumer I could understand it; but in the UK we need to heat interior spaces 90% of the time.
Lightbulbs are particularly handy as heaters because most people turn them on when they're in the room, and turn them off when they leave; if anything it could make more sense to make them *less* efficient and give out even more heat.
Obviously the situation for exterior lighting is different; energy efficiency does make sense there.
As for why engineering and science are underwhelming the current generation; which would most teenagers rather be:
a) An internationally reknowned footballer, or...
b) an internationally reknowned engineer?
Let's see, who gets the fame? Footballer. Money? Footballer again. Poor job security, wow finally the engineer makes the league table; understandably it's a somewhat pyrrhic victory though ;)
@Eric Dennis
Mans progress has always been built on the faint possibility of a shag !
Squeezing mammaries has a faint connotation to the above, so possibly extrapolating to the possibility of a shag. Which may lead to progress.
Now as discussed above, Science, Engineering, Accounting or other ? Now I would argue that each holds roughly the same possibility of a shag, and therefore roughly the same contribution to mans progress. However, I would have to say that none of these 'fields of research' would on it's own not achieve much. You need the Accountants to keep the business focused on making money. You need the Scientists and Engineers doing research and turning this into money making reality. Other careers need to support these objectives.
It follows that for a company to be successful contented and happy Accounting, Engineering and Scientific staff are a necessity. These staff must feel that there is a chance of a shag to be productive.
Human remains (HR) departments nationwide need to pay attention to this productivity requirement.
keeping abreast with science
Ok, quitting now and going for a little lie down.
Want more engineers and scientists?
PAY THEM MORE... people aspired to be bankers, not for the job but for the rewards.
You'll always get the engineering "starving artists" who do it for the love of the subject but if you want more normal people to aspire to be engineers then you must pay more for performing that role... otherwise they'll take their strong analytical skills and become accountants or bankers.
Small pay checks don't buy nice cars and nice houses and don't get you a good looking girlfriend/boy friend... and guess what most teenager care about!
How about...
some joined-up thinking here... ?
In the UK there are 420,000 women qualified to degree level or above in science and engineering who do not have jobs. (Source: ESRC data). Their skills cover everything from science graduates, post-grads through to doctorate mathematicians and physicists.
Life sciences and IT are especially difficult to get back into after any sort of career break for women.
With a) appropriate investment and b) a really good kicking to every one of the bigoted, sexist and ageist recruit-tards who think motherhood comes with a lobotomy, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! then a proportion of these would be able to meet this shortfall in skills and be economically and scientifically productive.
It would also go a long way to solving the other problem as well.
The white lab coat please....
re: Want more engineers and scientists?
Most industries don't share our government's feigned concern about the lack of engineers and scientists in western countries. That's because there's a steady supply of cheap labour from any number of Asian and eastern European countries, all of whom have educations that match or exceed our own and for whom a wage 1/10th of ours represents a small fortune in some of their economies.
The good news is that's not a situation that can last forever. Eventually we'll become the cheap labour and we'll be manning the call centers for them.

Gulfstream Rides Out Economic Storm
Despite what parent company General Dynamics chairman and CEO Nicholas Chabraja termed a "tumultuous period in the markets and dislocation in the financial services sector," Gulfstream Aerospace "had a terrific [third] quarter." Aircraft sales in the quarter climbed 4.3 percent as a result of orders for large-cabin Gulfstreams and the new larger-cabin G650, though Chabraja noted there was a "soft spot" in sales of the midsize G150 and, to some extent, super-midsize G200. The backlog at Gulfstream now stands at nearly $22.1 billion, up $3.3 billion year-over-year and "its highest level ever," he said. Chabraja expects sales to increase in the current fourth quarter, especially now that the "considerable number" of letters of intent for its new G250, which was unveiled last month at the NBAA Convention, are being converted into deposit-backed orders. Gulfstream delivered 23 green large-cabin jets and 16 green midsize/super-midsize jets in the quarter.

"The fountain is fountaining!" announced a colleague last Thursday. He'd passed the French Fountain in the eastern forecourt of the Royal Exhibition Building and noticed that it was flowing for the first time in ages. Years of drought and water restrictions meant the fountain has been out of action. However now that there are over a million litres of water stored in new tanks under the REB's western forecourt, the fountain can run again.
It was recomissioned for the opening of the newly-completed German Garden, a careful restoration of the original garden that stood on the site for the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880. You'd never know that under the lush lawns and new garden beds – which follow the exact shape of the 1880 design – there's a massive water tank and network of pipes to collect and distribute rainwater. Not only the gardens around the REB, but also Melbourne Museum's Forest Gallery and Milarri Garden will benefit from this new sustainable water supply.

Thursday's event marked the completion of the 18-month project World Heritage, World Futures. Even as the speeches were underway, people were wandering through the new landscape after so many months of it being hidden behind construction hoardings. Special guests, Minister for Consumer Affairs, the Hon Michael O'Brien, and Margaret Gardner AO, President of the Museums Board of Victoria, snipped the ceremonial purple ribbon and declared the garden open.

text: Actually, this can be a great commercial strategy. If you have the sole source of a novelty product that has good potential demand, you can charge quite a bit for it. In fact, this is the current situation in Alaska for a lot of their local fruit and vegetable production. One of our family friends has acres under glass. Guillaume _______________________ I was referring to the problems of transportation and care in the Age of Sail. However, your customers need to know what you are selling and be willing to pay for it. The bananas in London in 1633 were definitely a curiosity, but whether they were a commercial success is another matter. When I was in Alaska most of our fruits and vegetables came in by Skyfreighter. Locally grown from the Matanuska Valley was better, but demand was too high and the growing season too short. Even with acres of greenhouses, I suspect that most of the tropical fruits come in by air. Bear

In the latest of its #TVCStories series of testimonies from church members, The Village Church's Cymone Lonon recounts her same-sex relationship and the emptiness she felt being away from the church.
Beginning with a prayer, Lonon thanked Jesus for "loving her more than she ever could or ever would." She recounts the examples of relationships within her family, which were not strong nor a good example of unfailing love. "My whole life I watched my grandparents sleep in separate rooms," Lonon shared on the church's website. "My father cheated on my mother and left our family before I was born. My aunt fled her abusive husband. At the mere age of 18, my brother felt he was doing the right thing by marrying the mother of his child, only to find out his now ex-wife was pregnant with another man's child three months after their wedding."
Lonon states that she never knew true love, and accepted what she thought it was, based on the first person who gave it to her, which happened to be a woman. She says she exchanged the truth of God's word for lies, and loved the creature rather than the creator. Lonon began to distance herself from her friends and family as she sunk deeper in with the young woman she was dating. more >>
(You all know how much I don't like the term "Ex-Gay", but for the sake of not having a super long title, and since it's the most recognized term for people like me, I've chosen to use it here. Please don't assume that by using that term I mean that I have ceased to experience same sex attraction or have experienced any kind of sexual "re-orientation.")
With the ever quickening shift of our culture away from a moral/biblical view toward sexuality, I think there is a very real temptation for some Christians, especially in the American Church, to shift alongside the culture and adopt a different (unbiblical) view of sexuality…or just to sit back and remain silent about it. And I don't think my concern is unwarranted, because it's already happening. I'm not going to call out any names, ministries, or church denominations in this blog—-I don't wish to give them any more publicity than they have already attained.
What I do want to do with this blog is urge every Christian that stumbles upon it not to compromise the gospel for the sake of social acceptance—or for the sake of anything else for that matter. Do not listen to the voices out there demanding your silence in the name of what they call "tolerance." Do not reject, or even subtly neglect, the truths in the Bible–such as truths about the sin of homosexual behavior–just because they are hard for the world to hear and accept. Don't listen to the professing "Christians" telling you the Church has misinterpreted the Scriptures for 2,000 years and that the Bible really does not condemn homosexual behavior. And please, do not throw out the truth of God because you hear of gay kids being bullied or committing suicide—these stories are horrifyingly sad—but the condemn-able sins of the bullies do not make homosexual behavior any less of a sin. We should all (regardless of religious affiliation) be deeply troubled about kids being bullied for being gay (or weird, quirky, ugly, etc. for that matter) and do all we can to combat it, but denying the revealed truth about God regarding homosexuality cannot be an option for the Christian. more >>
Hi Melanie,
My name is Jennifer Johnson and I am the Director of Outreach at the Ruth Institute. Since you linked to an important document created by my organization in your post titled, Conservatives Can't Be Pro-Marriage and Oppose Gay Marriage, I would like to respond to you.
You said that you haven't found a conservative to "give you a satisfactory answer" as to "how gay marriage tangibly undermines traditional marriage arrangements." That's unfortunate, and I'm not very surprised. However, this kind of answer is the kind of answer we specialize in here at the Ruth Institute (which by the way is no longer part of NOM). more >>
The advocacy group "Evangelicals for Marriage Equality" responded to recent criticism from Christians arguing against the recognition of same-sex marriage by saying supporters of EME are not compromising Christian beliefs and are instead focused specifically on gay unions receiving the same government recognition and rights as traditional married couples do.
"We've been very clear in our Statement of Belief that it's not our intent to water down our faith or compromise our deeply-held Christian beliefs," EME spokesman Brandan Robertson told The Christian Post. "That's why we've focused specifically on government recognition of same-sex relationships — bestowing the same rights (e.g. hospital visitation, funeral preparation) and tax treatments on a committed same-sex relationship as we do on opposite sex relationships."
Asked to respond to an op-ed by Andrew T. Walker, director of Policy Studies for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, in which he wrote that no "real arguments" were made to support same-sex marriages, Robertson said Walker was misinformed. more >>
The willingness of religious congregations to accept gays and lesbians as members, and even volunteer leaders, increased significantly between 2006 and 2012, except in the case of Catholic churches, a new study shows.
The overall acceptance of gay and lesbian members increased from 37.4 percent to 48 percent, but decreased from 74 percent to 53 percent in Catholic churches, over the six years, according to Duke University's National Congregations Study, which involved interviews with representatives of 1,331 American congregations.
The number of congregations open to gays and lesbians in volunteer leadership roles also increased from about 18 percent to 26.4 percent, the study says. more >>
A federal appeals court panel has upheld New Jersey's law banning sexual orientation change therapy for minors, in agreement with a lower court decision.
Three judges from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday in King v. Christie that while they held some disagreement with an earlier district court decision, they still affirmed the decision against the plaintiffs.
At issue was New Jersey's A3371, a law passed in 2013 with strong bipartisan support, which bans conversion therapy for LGBT minors. more >>

Elodea a Grave Concern for KNWR
The Kenai Peninsula, Fairbanks, Cordova and Anchorage are all current hot spots for elodea, a "very scary plant" according to local biologists. Elizabeth Bella from the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge explains…
Bella: "Basically, the issue with elodea is that is spreads very rapidly, it grows very fast and it tends to clog up the entire waterway. There are some other sub-effects that occur, it can reduce the amount of oxygen present in the lake, which can in turn effect fish and wildlife populations that use the lake and it can also prevent fish from spawning in the lake."
On the Peninsula, Daniels and Stormy Lakes are known to be affected with elodea, with the weed causing a concern for sockeye in Daniels Lake.
John Morton with the Refuge said they hope to begin chemical treatment in July, either with Diquat (primarily a growth suppressant that doesn't kill the root) for $200/surface acre or Floridone $750/surface acre. Morton estimated…
Morton: "If you do the math on something like 1,000 ares, surface acres, that's the two lakes combined, that's $800,000 to treat those two lakes right now if we went at it. So, the trick is we have to go fast, so even as we're looking at its distribution on the Kenai Peninsula, if it's widely distributed, we're not going to do anything. We're pretty much dead in the water, and we're going to have to live with the outcome."
Morton suggested using Diquat for now to suppress growth until additional funds are available.
