This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
"As a Christian and a biblical scholar, I care both about Scripture as truth and about the ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the composition of the Hebrew Scriptures. And so, when I was asked to speak on the story of creation in Genesis 1, I welcomed the opportunity to give my thoughts on the interaction between this text and its ancient Near Eastern context."
Professor Denis Lamoureux presents the theory of evolutionary creation, which claims that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting evolutionary process. The view of origins, says Lamoureux, fully embraces both the religious beliefs of biblical Christianity and the scientific theories of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
Falk's paper asks evangelical Christians to explore whether they are propping up a bubble that they, not God, have created, thereby isolating themselves from the world of academics. The essay describes five layers that may play a role in unnecessarily blocking entry, or reentry, of agnostic scientists into the realm of evangelicalism.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

In pre-war Prague, the dreams of two young lovers are shattered when they are separated by the Nazi invasion. Then, decades later, thousands of miles away in New York, there's an inescapable glance of recognition between two strangers. Providence is giving Lenka and Josef one more chance. From the glamorous ease of life in Prague before the Occupation, to the horrors of Nazi Europe, The Lost Wife explores the power of first love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the strength of memory.

"Love, Strength & Survival"
This book is a beautifully written story of love and strength. The book spans 80 years in the lives of several families that intersect, separate and then join again over time. It is based on the lives of real people and speaks of deep familial love and struggles for survival in WWII Prague. The narrators each gave perfect voice to the characters they portrayed. At first I was concerned about the two alternating readers-- but it quickly made sense and added depth to the telling of the story. While the book speaks of desolation and destruction it also presents beauty, art, deep love and courage. A really wonderful recommended listen.
"Lost and Found Revisited"
This novel is based on actual events. The Holocaust provides the background to this story and it shows how so many millions of people were affected and those effects still condition our society today. I am sure that this story was repeated time and again as victims of the Nazis tried to reconnect to family members who were lost in chaos upon chaos at the end of the war and the following years. One thing that this novel has in it is art and how it was used as a weapon against the Nazis. If you are an artist or appreciate art and art history, this book provides an alternate path of interest for you other than the plot. I enjoyed this book as it reveals how our shared humanity forms a true bond with every person on the planet. There are two main characters who tell the story and the publisher wisely chose to use a male narrator for the man and a female narrator for the woman. This really aids in clarity to an audible book. If you're interested in the Holocaust and another "branch" of it, then this is a good book for you. I certainly enjoyed it.
"I was lost in the story of the lost wife"
One of the most moving accountings of the Holocaust, this is a story that will haunt you with the depth of love against a backdrop of sheer cruelty. Beautifully read, I could hardly keep from crying, nor did I want the story to stop. This is a story everyone must hear. The narrations and the emotions within those narrations are incredibly real. I found myself wanting to go find out more about Lenka and Josef.
Make sure you pay attention to the first chapter as it will carry you through the entire book.
I am an avid "reader"- I prefer to listen to books rather than read them due to the added dimension added by the narrator.
"Never read a book so fast"
Everything. I loved the way the two narrators wove the story of the star-crossed lovers chapter by chapter. I loved the character development and the way the accents were done.
I enjoyed the epilogue and felt the ending was perfect. This is one of the most endearing books I've listed to and I was sorry to have it end.
Josef's careful descriptions of his feelings are precious. I felt that when he burned his letters to Lenka, he was putting to rest his restless longing for her. His dreams of his family being happy for him are foreshadowing for what is to come. Don't want to spoil the book by saying much more.
The two narrators brought the characters to life and I could not possibly have gotten the same feeling I got listening to their voices. I was impressed by Mr. Guidall's recitation of the Kaddish prayer, which was very authentic. I would seek out more books narrated by him.
The meeting of the two grandparents at the end was memorable.
Run don't walk to download this book. I don't think I've ever worn my earbuds for so long!
This is a book that stays with me. I think about it off and on. It's a love story woven through the Holocaust. The narration is excellent. The emotions, the pain, the love, are raw. It is hard to believe that such atrocities could really happen. You can see tears streaming down a characters face through the narration. I like that the story was told from two points of view, and both narrators are great. The strength of the people is unfathomable. I wonder how we would fare as humanity today if such things were to take place. I don't think we have their resolve. It's hard to imagine that people could do such things to their fellow mankind but we also see cruel things happening every day. Although this books haunts me, I also feel such admiration for the people who went through this awful period of their lives and the strength they showed to survive. I don't want to say that the book was depressing; rather it shared a story of resiliency that captivates.

"Wonerful, heartbreaking,loved it!"
I was reluctant to read another Holocaust book. I felt I was "saturated" with this topic, but decided to get it anyway because of the great reviews. I was not disappointed. The Lost Wife is a masterfully written novel and I felt so absorbed in it I could not listen to anything else for a week after finishing it. The author has this incredible ability to paint with words and conduct emotion in such a way, I felt like I was actually there, in Prague, in Terezin, and in Auschwitz. I recognized that "hollow shell" existence that many survivors had after liberation from seeing this in my own grandparents and my mother. They could never be the same after living through this horror. Despite wanting to cry a lot during many passages, I find this literary creation to be top notch. Great narration, too!
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Not Stellar, but Solid"
Joseph and Lanka fall in love during Nazi occupation in WWII. Told from alternating points of view, the two take divergent paths and most of the book is spent on their quest to find each other, meaning, and simply survival be it from atrocities or boredom. The characters are fairly well developed as are the backstories. Entertaining, enjoyable, just not engrossing. There are so many other titles during this time period to be placed at the top of your lists, but this one is solidly in the middle. Great purchase if on sale.
"Loved every minute of it!"
The story was superb and the narrations elevated it to another level. Almost as it you were watching the story in your mind!
The details and descriptions of the horrors endured at the camps.
Although I have not read the book in print I image it is better as an audible book. The accents and feelings portrayed by the narrators makes the characters come to life.
I LOVE books. And dogs & quilting & beading & volunteering.
"Thoughtful, sad but engrossing love story"
Over the span of 60 + years, thru WW!! and concentration camps, 2 young Czech lovers stories are told by fabulous George Guidall as Josef and Suzanne as Lenka. This is a novel that translates wonderfully to audiobook, especially with such talented narrators.
Alyson Richman gives a brief synopsis at the end of the book about who the characters are modeled after and much of the story is fictionalized history. I was born in 1943 and it amazed me to think that I was a happy well fed baby with no fears, raised in Los Angeles with my mom and dad and grandparents while in Europe babies my age were being starved to death or simply murdered. Books like this are important-we must never forget.
The story is haunting and can't help but be very sad, but the inner strength of some of the people makes me wonder if people today could endure what these families went thru with the same courage and grace.
5 Stars-everyone should listen to this if only for its historical value.
12 step program please. I am addicted to Audible! I love trashy sexy books, award winning novels and everything between. Bring it!
History, Memory, Humanity
I really enjoyed listening to both narrators. I esp. enjoyed George Guidall's voice. They both did a great job.
I cried. I've never cried while listening to an audio before, but when Lenka's family is transferred to Auschwitz I finally cried. They had already been through so much and had experienced so much tragedy that my heart just ached for them and every single person that endured the horror, injustice and pure lack of humanity of the concentration camps. I can't begin to imagine living through the Nazi occupation. There are so many layers of grief and suffering that were caused by the occupation - families were separated across countries and oceans, some were left behind to endure or die in a camp, so many people were never able to say good-bye, or just live a normal life, full of normal happiness, suffering and longing. normal. I only imagine the guilt, the ongoing guilt knowing you survived while so many of your innocent family and friends died.
This could have been a 5 star book. I wish the ending would have been different. The 2nd half of the audio moves and flows so naturally, and so intensely in a way that it was hard to escape the images from my mind. And then the end of the story came and it just didn't do the rest of the story justice. I was wowed by this heartbreaking story of love and family. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. Yes, you might cry but it will be worth it!

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Redevelopment in
Westbrook, ME
Success in the EPA Assessment Demonstration Grant Program
Westbrook, ME
(December 17, 2003)
On October 1, 2000 the city of Westbrook, ME was awarded $250,000 in an EPA Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Grant. The city has used the funding to assess several properties for environmental contamination as part of their downtown comprehensive plan for a "Riverwalk" redevelopment. The Riverwalk will involve the construction of several office buildings, some commercial business, a riverfront boardwalk, walking trails, greenspace with picnic tables and benches, and a bike path that will follow the Presumpscot River to connect with the neighboring Portland, ME bike path system. In April 2003, as part of the redevelopment plan, the city celebrated the groundbreaking for an office building and parking garage on two adjacent riverfront properties, 25 Bridge Street and 59 Dana Court . CORE, Inc. has committed to occupying the office space, relocating 375 employees to the downtown area.
The 135,000 square foot office building and 550-space garage was constructed by Tim Flannery, a local developer who owns Dana Warp Mill, a renovated mill building across the street from the new development. CORE, Inc. is a subsidiary of Fortis, Inc. and a for-profit business that works with employers and health care professionals to assist disabled or sick employees return to working after illness or injury. CORE will relocate 375 employees from all over the Northeast to the new facility, with plans to expand employment to 425. They also hold a lease option to expand across the street into Dana Warp Mill. The new building and Dana Warp Mill will be connected by a glass-enclosed walkway above street level. CORE, Inc. stated in a news article that the reasons for selecting the Westbrook location for the new facility was adequate office space and the flexibility were growth, convenient access for transportation, nearby amenities for employees, and the right price. The city had pre-established two tax incremental financing districts (TIFs) for the office building and the garage to help defray development costs, which allowed for lower lease prices to CORE. The city has leveraged $1M in federal highway funds and $250,000 in economic incentives to defray the $6M cost of the garage construction. The 550-space parking garage will have 100 spaces reserved for use by the public.
The property at 25 Bridge Street was first developed in 1868 by Westbrook Manufacturing Company. The company made duck, a heavy cotton cloth or canvas used for sails and tents. They also manufactured and dyed cloth for overalls. In 1885, the property had a large 4-story building with a wheelhouse and repair shop, a weaving building, three storage buildings, and a small shed. By 1903, S.D. Warren purchased the property and operated the S.D. Warren and Company Electric Light and Power Company, Westbrook Station No. 2. By 1909 Dana Warp Mill Corporation purchased the property and prepared threads for looms. The two western buildings were used by Graige / Conant Electric and the other two buildings were used for storage. Between 1922 and 1930 all the buildings were used for storage with a residence. In 1955 Stultz Electric Motor Company took over ownership of the property.
The former Foye Mill, on 59 Dana Court, was an 8000 square foot brick building constructed in the 1800s as a part of the Westbrook Manufacturing Company. C.E. Noyes bought the building and used it for a tire retread factory. Peter Foye bought it in 1984 and stripped the vacant buildings for lumber. In October 1992 the building burned down and all that remained was the filled-in foundation.
The two properties, a total of 1.67 acres, run along the shore of the Presumpscot River. The city worked with EER, Inc. as their environmental consultant. The total expenditure for environmental assessment was $65,000. The Phase II environmental site assessment revealed PCB levels in three transformers on the property that exceed ME DEP hazardous waste regulations. In the floor drains of the Stultz building, arsenic, lead, PCBs, and benzo[a]pyrene was determined to be at concentrations exceeding ME DEP regulations. EER, Inc. recommended remediation in the form of soil removal for these contaminants. It is also recommended that building debris form the former Foye Mill be removed. Vinyl chloride was found in the groundwater. Although the property receives water from the municipal system, it was determined that a deed restriction should be filed to prevent future drilling of wells for drinking water. The work will resulted in the owner receiving a Voluntary Response Action Program approval from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

The most sophisticated of the three desserts took third prize in The Peanut Buttery Dessert Contest. The matching of malt, peanut butter, bacon, and beer is perhaps odd, says third-place winner Sean Pera, "but when combined together, the saltiness, sweet, and bitterness acts as a true match." It's not odd to those of us who comb the country's top restaurants looking for something that dazzles. This dessert does...but it takes a dazzling pastry talent (or great patience) like Sean's to pull together.

Welcome back Sir Frank!: the Spanish Grand Prix in 10 quick bytes
1. Williams has won a Grand Prix for the first time since Brazil in 2004 – but the man to do it for Sir Frank's resurgent team was not Brazilian Bruno Senna but his fellow-South American Pastor Maldonado. The Venezuelan is the first man from his country to win in F1, driving a beautifully controlled race from an inherited pole position to win by just over three seconds from Fernando Alonso's Ferrari and Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus Renault.
2. "An unbelievable feeling", said former GP2 champion Maldonado after his 66-lap triumph, made possible by a final pit stop two laps earlier than Alonso's which allowed Maldonado to control things from the front. This is the 114th GP victory for Williams and their 64th with Renault, an early reward for renewing the partnership which last scored a race victory in 1997.
3. Maldonado took over pole position when McLaren Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton saw his pole-winning time excluded for an infringement of the fuel regulations. Each driver is expected to complete qualifying with a litre of fuel in his car but thanks to a team mistake that was not the case with Hamilton, who started form the back of the grid. It would have been McLaren's 150th pole position.
4. With Alonso second in front of his adoring home crowd, Lotus demonstrated their hugely improved performance level in 2012 with third and fourth for Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean. The Finn was disappointed: "If everything had gone right in the first part of the race, we could have won," he insisted, but he simply ran out of laps as he charged for the line. Grosjean survived a first-lap tap with Sergio Perez's Sauber to record fastest race lap.
5. While Perez was forced into early retirement, Sauber teammate Kamui Kobayashi produced a brilliant cameo drive – passing cars galore through corners because he didn't have the straight-line speed – to come home fifth, his best result since Monaco last year. The Japanese too was disappointed: "I absolutely believe I could have made it onto the podium today if I had not been so unlucky in qualifying yesterday," said Kobayashi, who started from ninth on the grid.
6. On a difficult weekend for Red Bull Renault, Sebastian Vettel came home sixth thanks to a couple of late-race passes that rescued valuable points after a drive-through for a yellow flag offence. Both Vettel and teammate Mark Webber had to pit for new front wing assemblies, Webber after a first-lap touch that compromised his entire afternoon. It was compounded by what team principal Christian Horner called "a mystifying lack of pace" that saw Webber bottled up behind Nico Hulkenberg's Force India and condemned to 11th position – the first time Webber has failed to score after completing a race distance since 2009. "When you're out of position here it's tough," observed the Australian.
7. Mercedes too suffered contrasting fortunes, with Nico Rosberg seventh and clinging on desperately through a 26-lap final stint on what he called "a difficult day and a very strange race". Meanwhile Michael Schumacher was an unhappy man after running into the back of Senna's Williams on lap 13 and into retirement. The former World Champion claimed Senna moved right, then back left as Schumacher lined up the pass.
8. After starting the weekend with high ambitions McLaren had to swallow the disappointment of eighth and ninth places for Hamilton and Jenson Button respectively. As promised, Hamilton drove his heart out from the back of the field and ran a two-stop strategy that took him as high as fourth before a 31-lap final stint penalized him. "Today was all about damage limitation," he admitted – and he is still only eight points out of the title lead.
9. Despite a topsy-turvy weekend Vettel still leads the Drivers' Championship, jointly with Alonso on 61 points. Hamilton is on 53, but Raikkonen has slipped past Webber into fourth spot on 49, one ahead of the Australian. Webber's compatriot Dan Ricciardo suffered a testing weekend in his Toro Rosso and remains on two points in 16th place. Red Bull still lead the Constructors' table by 11 points from McLaren.
10. For the first time in 30 years we have seen five different race-winners in the opening five races of the season. Small wonder Button says "the Formula 1 form-book is very mixed up at the moment" as they prepare for the next round in Monaco…

This prototype was built with the Coach House Trust in Glasgow, using bottles from their recycling centre, and wood from the maintenance of their own sites. You can use any found timber, and adapt the dimensions to suit the wood you are working with.
Some examples are for sale at our shop here.
Design is released under a share alike/attribution CC license by Zero-waste Design.
Step 1: Get your bits n bobs.
Four bottles. All the same brand/height/shape preferable. Wash them thoroughly in hot soapy water.
Two hook and eye strainers / turnbuckles as they are sometimes called. I used the smallest I could find, which are 14mm OD at the buckle and 5mm OD at the threads. Such as these from Screwfix.
Two planks of wood, prepared as shown in the .pdf template - careful! there are two different hole diameters, and if you are leaving one rough edge as I did here, make sure you take your measurements from the straight datum edge.
*REVISION* I would now NOT drill the holes in the lower shelf (the 30mm ones) all the way through, but drill them from below to half depth, using a flat bit. They will then rest on the tops of the bottles of the module below, rather than allowing the necks to pass striaght through as was the case in this prototype. (See discussion in comments)
Screw in the cup hooks halfway between the holes on either side, as shown. Depending on the height of your bottles, you may need some ess hooks too to help the strainer reach between the upper and lower hooks.
Very nice! What diameter of holes did you make for the necks of the bottles? Do you think it would work with any design of bottle, or just those Brahmas?
Does that sound like a good idea?
Also I am assuming the eye hooks are to prevent sway from side to side as well?
any ways around this?
i used to work in a winery, and would walk on wine bottles all the time. never tried a glass, but the bottles never flinched. you could stack a lot of weight on a bottle.
scrabble cheat scrabble word cheat
Makes a nice clean display system.
Time to head over to my brothers for some wood.
Just drill a tiny hole into all the middle shelves and lead a wire through them. Put hooks into the top and bottom ones and connect it to the turnbuckle with the wire.

Afternoon Lecture
Seth, Evil God of Power and Might
The ancient Egyptian god Seth is often seen as the god of evil in ancient Egyptian religion, as he killed his brother Osiris in order to claim the kingship of Egypt. In this lecture, Dr. Eugene Cruz-Uribe, Indiana University East, tries to rehabilitate Seth's stature, taking into account numerous new studies (including Dr. Cruz-Uribe's own) on the numerous protective roles that Seth held throughout Egyptian history. Some new and unpublished scenes of the god Seth, from the speaker's own fieldwork in Egypt, are shown.

Well, it's not such an outlandish idea.

Dallas Cowboys still committed to faltering Felix Jones
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Felix Jones fumbled away the opening kickoff, then tripped while running alone after a short catch on the final play for the Dallas Cowboys.
Those were the bookend plays in the previous game for the former first-round draft pick who has only one rushing attempt for no gain so far this season.
While Jones isn't having the kind of explosive plays the Cowboys want to see, coach Jason Garrett remained committed Wednesday to the primary backup running back returning kickoffs.
Garrett says Jones has a "pretty darn good" track record making plays on offense and in the kicking game.
The running back from Arkansas was the only Cowboys rookie to score in his first three games, including a 98-yard kickoff return. But that was four years ago.

Took a while to get adjusted. My male Golden Retriever is 13 and has back leg issues. When used for lifting, the design of the harness makes his rear legs splay apart so he can not get good balance. Needs heavier rear support as what is there is too flexable. I have always been fairly well satisfied with Brookstone products but this one - well - could not recommend

Comments about CareLift Large Full-body Lifting Dog Harness:
We were so anxious to receive the product for our 13 year old German Shepherd who has a degenerative spinal disease. When it arrived, it came with no instructions or wrapping. It appeared that someone tried it and returned it and it was thrown back in the box and shipped to us. That was disappointing. When we figured out how to put it on our dog, it's not all that easy, especially when he's lame on the back end. It is not a product that you leave on the dog and its a hassle for just one person to put it on. Our dog doesn't seem fond of leaving it on so I wouldn't buy the product again. It hasn't solved our dilemma with our elderly dog.

Jennifer Chiappardi, Photographer, and Amy Ellsworth, Digital Media Developer at the Penn Museum will be documenting the 2010 season of the Laikipia Archaeological Project in Kenya. Led by Dr. Kathleen Ryan, the research team will be excavating settlements from 2000 – 3000 BCE on the Laikipia Plateau in north central Kenya, overlooking the Rift Valley.
Amy Ellsworth will be blogging about the project at www.penn.museum/blog/kenya
The team will also travel south to Maasailand where Dr. Ryan is also engaged in ethnobotanical research. The team will document translator, Paul Kunoni describing the medicinal uses of various plants for both humans and animals. The team will also visit the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, where they will "adopt" an elephant for the Penn Museum.
The Laikipia Archaeological Project focuses on the more recent period of transition from the Later Stone Age (LSA) to the Pastoral Neolithic (PN) 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, when the first cattle herding groups entered Laikipia and interacted with the indigenous hunter-gatherers. Until recent decades, surprisingly little research had been conducted on the origins and spread of cattle herding in Africa. Although cattle domestication is believed to have occurred in Africa roughly 9,000 years ago, cattle pastoralism in East Africa began several millennia later, between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, when the first cattle herding groups moved south into what is now Kenya. This period of transition–when indigenous hunter-gatherers and cattle herders first interacted in Laikipia–is the main focus of the investigations.
As director of Penn Museum's Middle Mekong Archaeological Project in Laos, Dr. Joyce C. White, Associate Curator and archaeologist, is currently leading an excavation at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Luang Prabang. The project's mission is to investigate the prehistory of the region, which has until now been untouched by modern archaeology.
The team's progress is being documented by a daily blog written and posted by Amy Ellsworth, Penn Museum's digital media developer. Her posts, which began on Jan. 1, will continue through Jan. 17. The blog has so far chronicled the discovery of what appears to be a burial pot from the Iron Age, around 2000 BCE, as well as two bones thought to be human and a piece of skull.
The archaeological team is focusing on a cave called Tham An Mah, once used as a Buddhist temple. When White leaves later this month, the project will be handed over to the Laos people to maintain and continue research. Read the daily blog at http://middlemekong.wordpress.com.
by Jennifer Chiappardi, Penn Museum Photographer
Jennifer traveled to Kenya in March 2009 while Penn Museum African Section Associate Curator Kathleen Ryan and Penn undergraduates continued research on the Penn Museum research project: The Arrival and Expansion of Pastoralist Economies on the Laikipia Plateau
Interacting with modern Maasai groups and learning about their lifestyle was an unforgettable experience. We traveled through southern Maasailand, visiting families in occupied settlements and also seeing the remains of abandoned homesteads in which the Maasai used to live.
I was honored to be granted permission to photograph the elders, their families, and the insides of their homes. I was given a rare opportunity to interact with the elders' wives and curious children. All seemed to enjoy seeing their photos on the back of my digital camera. These photos were later sent to the families in Africa.
Going back in time and envisioning the lifestyles of prehistoric pastoralists thousands of years ago in Laikipia, I was able to recognize the similarities to present day Maasai settlements. There is so much to learn about archaeology, surveying, preparing and digging a site, and examining surface materials. I also learned about the environment in which the early pastoralist used to live and present day Massai now live. I saw firsthand the cohabitation of wildlife and humans in which both have to find ways to survive in a constantly changing and harsh environment. Since my return to the US I am actively participating in raising awareness of the dangers that are posed to both humans and wildlife in this region.
These images, brought to you by Jennifer Chiappardi, offer a glimpse into Kenya today from a photographer's perspective.
I'd like to introduce another exceptional team working at Mt. Lykaion: the geologists. It's a team of just two—Dr. George Davis of the University of Arizona and his able assistant, Karl Yares—but they've managed to accomplish a tremendous amount over the course of the season. From field mapping the region to digitally processing all their data to digging their own trench, the geologists did a little of nearly everything.
As George helped us appreciate, the geology of Mt. Lykaion and its environs is incredible. Active faults zigzag across the land, and their traces are visible everywhere, at least with someone like George to help us notice them. In some places, compressional forces have caused a plane to fold back on itself in a hairpin bend, so strata can be seen in the reverse of their usual sequence; in others, faulting occurs twice, so that the sequence of strata repeats...
Read the rest of this article, and more, on the Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey blog (wordpress).
A six week archaeological training and collaborative research program run by Penn Museum's Dr. Joyce White concluded in mid-March in Luang Prabang, Laos. Training for this phase of the Middle Mekong Archaeological Project (MMAP) Spring 2009 was provided by the Lao Department of Heritage, scholars from three British universities, two Thai archaeologists, UNESCO-Bangkok, the Lao Department of Geology, as well as IT, database, and public communications specialists from the Penn Museum. Thirteen Lao culture heritage managers from government branches in three provinces participated in program. The training was funded by the Henry Luce Foundation as part of its support of Penn Museum's four-year program for "Strengthening the Future of Southeast Asian Archaeology: Investigating the Prehistoric Settlement of the Middle Mekong Basin."

Gallery: PHOTOS: Europe's Grass-Lined Green Railways = Good Urban Desig...
Much like green roofs, these swaths of green provide a host of benefits to any urban area, like reducing urban heat island effect, providing a permeable surface for storm water to infiltrate, and reducing pollution. And did we mention that it looks so much prettier than concrete or asphalt? We wish the public transportation in the US looked this good.
We wholeheartedly agree with Monocle Magazine's top 25 Examples of Good Urban Design, which states: "There's something quite magical about watching trams in Barcelona, Strasbourg or Frankfurt glide silently along beds of grass as they do their city circuit. Where possible, this attractive combination of efficient public transport and inspired landscaping should be standard as part of the urban fabric."

This grass needs water mowing(more pollution) weedicides….not worth it just for aesthetics…
July 29, 2009 at 8:47 am
Perception is everything. Browning of the grass is a problem from the public perception side of things, as many folks seem to think that wehn the grass is brown it is dead. It is not, it is only going dormant. I'm all for a "green tracks" approach to rail design, but in areas where we have very hot and dry summers as here in Baltimore, MD, we need to educate the public on the reality of what it can/will look like, and the associated maintenance required to keep it looking "acceptable". Sedums may offer a similar aesthetic gain, and would still be a "green soulution". Irrigation is never an option, especially on public projects using State and Federal funding, but "green tracks" can help with a reduction of impervious surface and urban heat island.

Muito bonito… realmente diferente! deveria ser copiado por outros países.
March 9, 2009 at 12:01 pm
This is very nice! However I do wonder how they avoid the soil getting onto the rails and making the trams lose traction. Certainly in the UK the entire rail network seems to grind to a halt every time there is a leaf or a snowflake somewhere between London and Dundee.

I live in Bordeaux , France and we have some parts of the tramway on grass. And there is a problem : water. Bordeaux has considerably decreased its quantity of water used for urban gardens so, during summer, the grass is completely dry and yellow. It's not always as lovely than on these pictures. But i prefer that, so we use recycled water or no water but today we also have to think about it. Sorry for my "frenched" english.
January 28, 2009 at 9:07 pm
The US really needs to invest in public transportation. Not only is adding grass a beautiful thing to do, I love reading about the benefits it provides beyond its surface beauty.
January 28, 2009 at 5:53 pm
so what?… we have had (in Ukraine) the stuff like this since USSR was… this is not a new method
January 28, 2009 at 10:46 am
such a classic approach. I would imagine this is also more quite than cement.

Integrate the reel type lawn mower onto the front of the train/tram.
January 27, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I like it! It's very nice too look at, but i could see kids wanting to play in the nice grass and getting hit by trains 😐
January 27, 2009 at 7:21 pm
they look amazing, i visited the http://www.oway.com.au office in sydney recently and they have incoperated landscaping into their office, it looks and smell fantastic.
January 27, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Who's going to cut all that grass? I bet it costs more than concrete in the long run.
January 27, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Tell me that's some variety of grass that doesn't require mowing! If it does, and they use two stroke mowers to do the job, then all the benefits are basically nullified.
January 27, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Public transportation in the USA DOES look this good …
Certainly you're not suggesting that this is an idea unique to Europe?
What about Streetcars and the nuetral grounds in New Orleans?
January 27, 2009 at 4:47 pm
They started with this last year also here in Berlin, Germany.

This report documents how the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston created a digitized database of information on materials and processes used in making, treating and testing artistic and historic objects. The database includes over 10,000 records and serves as a time-saving resource for conservators.
Grant MT-2210-0-NC-12 from the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training funded the expansion and review of a database with an initial working title of Conservation Materials Database. It is now called Conservation and Art Materials Dictionary (CAMD). The database incorporates technical information about historic and contemporary materials used in all aspects of the conservation, preservation and production of artistic, architectural and archaeological materials. No other resource in the field of conservation has attempted to provide reference data of this scope and magnitude. Thus the database is an important step in the development and defmition of the growing fields of conservation and historic preservation.

Comments On Oct 09, 2014:They were ripped off on the first patch of rocky washout I was crawling down. Bent the aluminum easily. Worst part is they provide j hook style attachments not U bolts so they will fall off if you don't constantly re-tighten them before every ride. If you do any form of riding where you actually need these, they WILL FAIL YOU. Back ones seem okay, they are properly mounted.

Comments On Jun 11, 2014:These guards would work just find for anyone who rides in the desert or in rocky type trails. However, for anyone who rides in the mud, woods, or places where you have sticks or stubs that could damage your CV Boots, I highly recommend that you look elsewhere. These guards will not protect your CV Boots at all. They are not long enough to reach either set. (upper or lower)

Comments On Dec 21, 2012:The brackets that hold the skid plate appear they would break off if you hit anything and the skid plate would be left behind in the woods. I haven't hit anything yet so they are still attached to the arm.

Comments On Nov 26, 2012:These a-arm guards are built out of fairly heavy gauge aluminum. At least heavy enough to offer some protection. My only complaint is that they don't come up higher in the front. It seems that the cv boot may get ripped if a stick comes in over the top of the guard. You can see the boot showing over the top of the guard just by standing in front of the machine. I left the stocker guards on underneath the aluminum ones.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Dayan Viciedo clubbed a solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners in the rubber match of a three-game series at U.S. Cellular Field.
Chicago closer Addison Reed (1-0) escaped a jam in the top of the 10th, fanning Michael Morse with runners on first and second.
Viciedo then hit a no-doubter to left field off Kameron Loe (1-1) with one out, helping the White Sox improve to 4-2 on the young season.
This being the White Sox and Mariners, it was bound to be a close contest. The last six games between these teams have been decided by one run.
"It was a hard-fought series. We had opportunities to do something and we didn't take advantage of it," said Seattle manager Eric Wedge.
Alex Rios homered in each game of this series and his leadoff shot off Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma made it 3-3 in the seventh. Iwakuma had retired 16 batters in a row following Adam Dunn's game-tying two-run homer in the first inning.
Morse belted his fifth home run of the season, a two-out, two-run blast against Chicago starter Chris Sale in the opening frame.
Kendrys Morales hit a solo home run off Sale in the sixth to put Seattle up 3-2.
Sale said the team bailed him out.
"We're here to do our job, but also pick each other up," the left-hander said.
Sale gave up five hits, walked two and struck out seven in seven innings ...
Iwakuma allowed four hits over eight innings ... The White Sox have won 13 of
their last 15 games vs. Seattle ... The Mariners have dropped eight
consecutive series to the White Sox in Chicago ... Rios extended his hitting
streak against Seattle to 13 games ... The Mariners were 0-for-7 with runners
in scoring position.

Fracking - an animated explanation
A couple of days ago the state of Oklahoma experienced an earthquake, the biggest its recorded history. Oklahoma does not experience very many earthquakes at all, so this one was intriguing. Turns out the epicenter of the quake is in the heart of an area where "fracking" is used to extract oil and natural gas from deep below the surface.
Fracking is controversial as it involves pumping water, sand and chemicals under pressure to force out gas and oil, especially natural gas.
Here's an animated film I discovered by Earthjustice.org that explains the process and the environmental risks associated with it.
Re: Fracking - an animated explanation
This video, although not animated, describes what folks who live in the eastern US, especially in Pennsylvania where fracking operations are scheduled to vastly expand over the coming years, are experiencing. The health risks and environmental problems they're facing as a result of fracking are very significant.

Re: Fracking - an animated explanation
A similar technique for early pilot programs in engineered geothermal heat extraction did in deed produce a minor earth quake in Europe before it was shut down.
An government funded, engineered geothermal plant in California was halted a while back. It was near some very active fault lines (about the worst choice of location possible).
The scientific jury is not yet in on this technique.
Re: Fracking - an animated explanation
One possibility is that the gas companies are going to learn a lesson for everyone the hard way by taking it too far, claiming that there is no proof as strange things continue to happen, and then we'll get a worse case scenario where it causes some kind of disaster. I think humans are getting a little in over their heads as far as particular kinds of energy technology or pursuing the wrong technology strictly in the name of the all mighty money god that rules every step we all take. As we already know, profit comes before common sense, safety or anything. In the current world climate, if you're not rolling in the cash, you're nothing...so they'll keep doing whatever they can until something beyond their control slaps them upside the head...and then after they spend millions of dollars putting a small band-aid on a fatal wound, they'll start it right back up again. No lesson learned. It's the inevitable loop we can't avoid, at least until something happens that we can't recover from.
Hate to sound negative, but it's hard not to when making basic observations. Humans in general are very self destructive, either unconsciously or consciously.
Until this year, this Rust Belt city and surrounding Mahoning County had been about as dead, seismically, as a place can be, without even a hint of an earthquake since Scots-Irish settlers arrived in the 18th century.
But on March 17, two minor quakes briefly shook the city. And in the following eight months there have been seven more — like the first two, too weak to cause damage or even be felt by many people, but strong enough to rattle some nerves.
"It felt like someone was kicking in the front door. It scared the stuffing out of me," said Steve Moritz, a cook who lives on the city's west side, describing the seventh quake, which occurred in late September. It was the strongest one, with a magnitude of 2.7.
Nine quakes in eight months in a seismically inactive area is unusual. But Ohio seismologists found another surprise when they plotted the quakes' epicenters: most coincided with the location of a 9,000-foot well in an industrial lot along the Mahoning River, just down the hill from Mr. Moritz's neighborhood and two miles from downtown Youngstown.
At the well, a local company has been disposing of brine and other liquids from natural gas wells across the border in Pennsylvania — millions of gallons of waste from the process called hydraulic fracturing that is used to unlock the gas from shale rock.
The location and timing of the quakes led to suspicions that the disposal well was responsible for Youngstown's seismic awakening. As the wastewater was injected into the well under pressure, the thinking went, some of it might have migrated into deeper rock formations, unclamping ancient faults and allowing the rock to slip.

Re: Fracking - an animated explanation
Looks like Ohio is putting a stop to things at least temporarily until they get to the bottom of this problem as to why they're suddenly experiences earthquakes in areas where historically there is no such phenomenon. It's all about fracking...
Ohio suspends well operations after series of quakes
January 2, 2012
CLEVELAND — Ohio has suspended operations at five deep wells used to dispose of fracking-related fluids after nearly a dozen earthquakes in the town of Youngstown over the past year, the latest sign of local unease over the booming shale gas industry.
One day after a 4.0 quake, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said on Sunday it was halting operations at five Mahoning County wells owned by Northstar Disposal Services LLC as a precaution, citing concerns of a possible link between well activity and the quakes. The wells were used to store wastewater from oil and gas drilling operations, not for production.
"We are being overly cautious in order to ensure public safety in asking the company to halt disposal injections at one site on Friday and then asking for a halt to any injections in a 5-mile radius Saturday," Ohio Department of Natural Resources deputy director Andy Ware said.
"Our geologist would say there is a strong chance there is a fault line very close to the site of the well," Ware said, adding the department was concerned that pressure from the fluid disposal could be affecting a previously unknown fault line.
Ohio's decision comes amid an intensifying debate about the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing, the process of extracting oil or natural gas from shale rocks by drilling miles deep wells and injecting thousands of gallons of water to flush out natural gas deposits trapped in between its layers.
Re: Fracking - an animated explanation
Whoa... this reminds me of a song.
Wondrous Boat Ride
Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing
WASHINGTON -- In a stunning break with First Amendment policy, House Republicans directed Capitol Hill police to detain a highly regarded documentary crew that was attempting to film a Wednesday hearing on a controversial natural gas procurement practice. Initial reports from sources suggested that an ABC News camera was also prevented from taping the hearing; ABC has since denied that they sent a crew to the hearing.
Josh Fox, director of the Academy Award-nominated documentary "Gasland" was taken into custody by Capitol Hill police this morning, along with his crew, after Republicans objected to their presence, according to Democratic sources present at the hearing. The meeting of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Environment had been taking place in room 2318 of the Rayburn building.
HuffPost has obtained exclusive video of the arrest of Josh Fox. Rep. Brad Miller (D-N.C.), the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee, can be heard at the end of the clip asking Republican Chairman Andy Harris (R-Md.) to halt the arrest and permit Fox to film the public hearing. Harris denies Miller's request as Fox is escorted out of the hearing in handcuffs.
I was arrested today for exercising my First Amendment rights to freedom of the press on Capitol Hill. I was not expecting to be arrested for practicing journalism. Today's hearing in the House Energy and Environment subcommittee was called to examine EPAs findings that hydraulic fracturing fluids had contaminated groundwater in the town of Pavillion, Wyoming. I have a long history with the town of Pavillion and its residents who have maintained since 2008 that fracking has contaminated their water supply. I featured the stories of residents John Fenton, Louis Meeks and Jeff Locker in GASLAND and I have continued to document the catastrophic water contamination in Pavillion for the upcoming sequel GASLAND 2. It would seem that the Republican leadership was using this hearing to attack the three year Region 8 EPA investigation involving hundreds of samples and extensive water testing which ruled that Pavillion's groundwater was a health hazard, contaminated by benzene at 50x the safe level and numerous other contaminants associated with gas drilling. Most importantly, EPA stated in this case that fracking was the likely cause.
As a filmmaker and journalist I have covered hundreds of public hearings, including Congressional hearings. It is my understanding that public speech is allowed to be filmed. Congress should be no exception. No one on Capitol Hill should regard themselves exempt from the Constitution. The First Amendment to the Constitution states explicitly "Congress shall make no law...that infringes on the Freedom of the Press". Which means that no subcommittee rule or regulation should prohibit a respectful journalist or citizen from recording a public hearing.
This was an act of civil disobedience, yes done in an impromptu fashion, but at the moment when they told me to turn off the cameras, I could not. I know my rights and I felt it was imperative to exercise them.
When I was led out of the hearing room in handcuffs, John Boehner's pledge of transparency in congress was taken out with me.
The people of Pavillion deserve better. The thousands across the US who have documented cases of water contamination in fracking areas deserve their own hearing on Capitol hill. They deserve the chance to testify in before Congress. The truth that fracking contaminates groundwater is out, and no amount of intimidation tactics --either outright challenges to science or the arrest of journalists --will put the genie back in the bottle. Such a brazen attempt to discredit and silence the EPA, the citizens of Pavillion and documentary filmmaking will ultimately fail and it is an affront to the health and integrity of Americans.
Lastly, in defense of my profession, I will state that many many Americans get their news from independent documentaries. The hill should immediately move to make hearings and meetings accessible to independent journalists and not further obstruct the truth from being reported in the vivid and in depth manner that is only achievable through long form documentary filmmaking.
I will be thinking on this event further and will post further thoughts and developments.
I have been charged with "unlawful entry" and my court date is February 15.

Reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel said he was satisfied with qualifying third for Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix.
The German in his Red Bull was unable to keep pace with the two Mercedes driven by pole sitter Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.
He said: "I am quite happy to be honest. Yesterday and this morning I was really happy, and I think we improved the car so I think we are in good shape."
Only once has a driver who failed to qualifying on the front row won the race.
Vettel added: "We took a different approach to the majority of people, using option tyres only. Whether that helps us tomorrow we have to wait and see.
"It will be a long race, it will be about tyre degradation. Now, with the conditions helping a little, it is a tough challenge, the tyres don't last as long as we would like."
Although Mercedes drivers Rosberg and Hamilton voiced pessimism about their race chances, Vettel said he did not believe the 'Silver Arrows' will be easy to beat or that Lotus and Ferrari are out of contention.
"Mercedes are in front of us right now, and to be honest they had some long runs and didn't look too bad," said Vettel.
"On the long runs yesterday both Ferrari and Lotus were pretty competitive, so we can expect them to be very strong in the race as well. It is going to be tough."

Rihanna stepped out in New York on Tuesday rocking a pair of Tom Ford beige-leather knee-high kicks that cost a whopping $3,690! And we think the strappy statement sandals look more like Ace bandages than shoes!
But RiRi isn't the only starlet trying out this look. Anne Hathaway wore the same designer shoes in black to the American premiere of "Les Misérables" last year. Selena Gomez worked the trend in a set of black Brian Atwood peep toes paired with a black Burberry trench coat during a recent visit to "The Late Show with David Letterman." And even mama-of-two Kourtney Kardashian showed off a pair of superstrappy, knee-high kicks while out and about with her kids and boyfriend in tow.
While the new footwear trend is becoming increasingly popular among Hollywood's hottest stars, Rihanna seems to sport the look more than anyone. Check out the vid to see how the "Stay" singer switched it up with another pair of bandage-inspired sandals!

No empty seats were in sight. Visitors lined the walls inside council chambers, while dozens of others packed the lobby.
Officials said they had never seen Lancaster City Hall more crowded before.
Nearly 200 people came out Tuesday night for the swearing-in ceremony for four City Council members and Harlean Howard as the new police chief.
Many of the people on hand were there to support Howard, who is the first woman to head the Lancaster Police Department.
Job announcements, the arrival of new businesses, improvements to fire insurance ratings, the collection of Census data and construction on two county courthouses were all issues that County Council dealt with in 2010.
Several council members, as well as the county administrator, recently examined the county's milestones and struggles from the past year, while casting an eye toward 2011.
Posted at 2:48 p.m.; updated 4:31 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2011
Lancaster County School District Superintendent Dr. Gene Moore and board chairman Bobby Parker said the possibility of an even tighter district budget next fiscal year tops their list of concerns for 2011, though both are confident the district will adapt and overcome.
The budget concerns come as the district prepares for the loss of federal stimulus money for fiscal year 2011-12 and uncertainty over future state funding.
A pizza delivery man was attacked and robbed as he made a delivery on New Year's Day.
Lancaster police officers spoke with a Domino's Pizza delivery man outside a Ruth Street house Saturday who had been hit repeatedly in the face. The man had a large cut on the lower part of his jaw and was bleeding profusely, a department incident report said.
Technology moves at a fast pace and Jeffery Naftal wants to make sure Lancaster County isn't left behind.
Naftal, deputy county administrator, has been working with county staff to find ways to improve the county's website. Naftal presented his ideas at Lancaster County Council's Dec. 13 meeting.
"The improvements we have been seeking include the look and utility of the site itself, as well as its reliability and ease of use for staff to update information on the site," Naftal said in a memo.
The details behind a cryptic county ordinance were revealed last week, as county officials announced preliminary plans for a county landfill.
At a special meeting Wednesday, County Council unanimously approved final reading of the ambiguously named Project December, an economic development ordinance that was fast-tracked through a number of special council meetings over the last few weeks.
Council unanimously approved the first two readings of the ordinance at special meetings on Dec. 17 and Dec. 21.
The filing period has started for political hopefuls looking to become the area's newest state senator.
Nearly 10 people are believed to have interest in the District 16 Senate seat, which was vacated last month by Mick Mulvaney, who will be sworn in as a U.S. congressman on Wednesday.
Filing for the senate seat began Friday and will end at noon Jan. 10.
Lancaster pharmacist Hugh Mobley was among the first to announce intentions to run.
Beatifying a blighted neighborhood and supporting economic development projects are goals Lancaster Mayor Joe Shaw and City Administrator Helen Sowell have identified for 2011.
The two recently reflected on the past year while looking forward to what lies ahead for the city of Lancaster.
Sowell said one of the greatest accomplishments of 2010 was the city's partnership with Lancaster County to reopen the former Springs Industries building on 15th Street in the Brooklyn neighborhood.
Before County Council's first meeting of the new year, three incumbent members will be sworn in for new terms.
Council members Charlene McGriff, Larry Honeycutt and Jack Estridge, who represent Districts 2, 4 and 6, respectively, will take their oaths of office at a special swearing-in ceremony at 5 p.m. Tuesday. The three were re-elected to new four-year terms in the November election.
Council officers will also be chosen at the ceremony, which will be held directly before council's regular meeting in council chambers.
