Kevin Magnussen held off McLaren team-mate Jenson Button while Sergio Perez and Daniil Kvyat were also in the points at Spa.
Jenson Button: ""We played the long game today - most people were making their pit-stops early - and I felt I kept the tyres in good condition. I also had a lot of fun out there, especially racing Kevin [Magnussen], Sebastian [Vettel] and Fernando [Alonso] at the end. In the final laps Kevin and I didn't touch, although I had to back off a bit at Turn Eight, when Fernando ran off as he and Kevin were dicing. I lost a place to Fernando there, which was a bit of a shame, and in turn a place to Sebastian after that, but as I say I really enjoyed it out there. It's such a fantastic circuit; driving here always feels so good."
Kevin Magnussen:"Despite being penalised after the race, I have to say I enjoyed the weekend. I had great fun out there this afternoon - I was involved in exciting racing on an awesome circuit. It was a tough challenge, because everyone around me had slightly fresher tyres than I did, and they're all great drivers: they're not the easiest guys to keep behind. So I just tried my best to defend my position as well as I could. Changing the subject, I want to say how brilliant it was to see so many Danish fans in the crowd. The support I've had this weekend has been incredible - I've never experienced anything like it, to be honest. Last but not least, it was good that Jenson got past Fernando at the end, to score some useful points for the team."
Force India
Sergio Perez: "Somehow I avoided all the crazy battles that took place today because my race was quite straightforward. I went flat out and I think we achieved the most that was possible from the race. I lost a bit of time in the second stint, having to pass the two McLarens and I took a bit too much out of the tyres, which cost me some time later in the stint. In the final ten laps I was under a lot of pressure from Kvyat: he was catching me quickly, but I managed to hold him off. In the end, we got some points out of this weekend and that's the important thing."
Nico Hulkenberg: "It's a shame to miss out on points today but I guess I paid the price for the mistakes yesterday [in qualifying] which gave us so much ground to recover in the race. My start was not great, but I was able to gain a few positions on the first lap. After that I had good pace, but it was hard to show it because I was stuck in heavy traffic. There was a train of cars in the midfield with everybody using DRS and making it very difficult to overtake. I think that's where we lost the most time today and it stopped me from scoring points. I was closing quickly on Kvyat at the end and I was very close, but I probably needed an extra lap to be able to get ahead."
Toro Rosso
Daniil Kvyat: ""This was a good but tough race, especially the end where I was defending my position against Hulkenberg who was on new options. That was quite thrilling, as I had to look after my tyres and at the same time fight to keep tenth place. The car handling during the race was good and I was quite pleased that the weather stayed dry. All in all, it was a positive weekend, where we were able to improve step by step and I'm happy to take away a point from this race. I can't wait to get back into the car in two weeks' time when we will be in Monza."
Jean-Eric Vergne: "The start wasn't great. There were some cars already passing me by on the straight and I couldn't do anything to defend myself. It's a bit frustrating to sit in the traffic, with my tyres which didn't last very long and suffering of a lack of performance. We need now to have a look at all the data to see if there is anything we can do to be back in Monza in a better condition. We are not far from the points but we need to sort a few things out, have a clean weekend and score some points at our home Grand Prix."
Adrian Sutil: "It was an exciting race, but 14th was the maximum today. Unfortunately, I got stuck behind Felipe (Massa). As I came in for the pit stop, he also went in at the same time. In some sectors on track I was faster than him, but on the straights he was just too fast. Felipe's engine was simply too strong and I could not overtake him. We then decided to race with a three-stop-strategy, which in the end was the right choice. I felt more comfortable with the soft compound in comparison to the medium tyres. I am satisfied with the procedures over the weekend. The team did a good job without making any mistakes."
Esteban Gutierrez:"Start on soft tyres, afer 14 laps change to soft tyres and after 30 laps change to medium tyres "It was a tough race. The race strategy was to attack straight from the beginning on. Unfortunately, it did not work out as expected, but at least I was able to gain some positions during the first laps. Throughout the race I struggled a lot with the medium tyres. This aspect made things complicated and put us in a difficult position. Our pace was too slow to finish the race in the points. We need to keep working to be in the top ten as soon as possible."

When Carole Drew retired from her job with Volunteers of America four years ago, she thought that her modest savings would help assure that she could make ends meet. If for some reason she ran into trouble, Drew figured, help would be there if she needed it.
It wasn't.
Early this year, when rising food and energy prices outpaced the $649 in Social Security she gets each month, Drew turned to the local food bank for help.
She was turned down. "They said they couldn't sign me up because they already had too many people," says Drew, 70, who lives in Long Beach, Calif. Every month since then, she's checked back. Every month, she's been told the program still has a moratorium on new clients.
"I'm having to use up the little I have in savings to pay for food and gasoline," Drew says. "On a set income, you worry a little more every time the price goes up."
Around the country, with food and energy prices soaring, more older Americans—especially those on fixed incomes or among the working poor—find themselves struggling. Like Drew, they're dipping into meager savings, asking relatives for help, lining up at food banks or soup kitchens for the first time in their lives, or simply going to bed hungry.
"As gas and food prices rise, people who had no wiggle room before are facing tough decisions on what to pay for," says Shelley Borysiewicz, a spokeswoman for Catholic Charities USA, a network of more than 1,700 agencies and institutions that provide food, housing and other assistance. "You're afraid to miss a payment on your rent or mortgage for fear of eviction or foreclosure. You're paying more every time you go to the grocery store or fill the tank. What do you cut back on? Medicine? Food?"
For many, those are the only alternatives. In a recent CNN poll, 30 percent of the people surveyed nationwide said that they were already cutting back on food and medicine—a choice that almost certainly compromises their health and well-being.
"I hear it all the time, people having to choose between buying medicine or groceries," says Lucy Stokes, 71, who lives in Washington, D.C., where she volunteers for the We Are Family Senior Outreach Network, a program that provides food and services in the city's poorest areas. "Mostly they do without medicine. Maybe they'll get sick. But you have to eat to survive."
Measures of desperation
One gauge of desperation is the surging number of people turning to food banks, soup kitchens and other emergency food assistance programs. Many organizations that operate such programs report that the ranks of people lining up for free groceries or a free meal are up at least 15 percent from a year ago. The Clayton County Aging Program in Georgia estimates that the number of older people coming in for food assistance has doubled in the past year. Some particularly hard-hit communities have seen even bigger increases.
"A year ago we budgeted what we thought we'd need," says Julie Murray, CEO of Three Square, which operates a 120,000-square-foot food bank in Las Vegas. "This year we've had to quadruple those numbers."
As the ranks of needy Americans have increased, the demographics of hunger have also changed. "I've seen a lot of up and down cycles after 30 years in this business," says Bill Bolling, executive director of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. "What's fundamentally different is who we're seeing at the door of the agencies we serve. Half of the people have full-time jobs but don't earn enough to keep up with the rising prices of health care, energy and food. The working poor increasingly compete with seniors on fixed incomes."

The 19-year-old Serb has the skill and strength to be a threat at Wimbledon after an impressive year in which she broke through at the top level. By Barry Flatman
TECHNICALITIES clearly intrigue Ana Ivanovic. She can readily inform you of her ability to propel a tennis ball at 122mph within 0.005 seconds of impact, forcing it to accelerate 1,000 times faster than a Formula One car. If required to elaborate, she can add that her service possesses sufficient velocity to compress a tennis ball to half its original circumference.
Impressive stuff for those entranced by the laws of physics, but for anybody content to deal simply in regular tennis achievement, the 19-year-old Serb served faster than any other woman when she made her full Wimbledon debut a year ago, is a former junior finalist, was named as the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's Most Improved Player and is an opponent very much to avoid at this year's championships.
So much so that top-seeded Amélie Mauresmo views Ivanovic as the one player she most wants to miss in the earlier rounds of the tournament after high-profile defeats at the French Open last year and then in January at Sydney, just before the Frenchwoman's Australian Open triumph.
The pair could clash again in Wimbledon's last 16 and the thought certainly appeals to the statuesque right-hander from Belgrade. Ivanovic remembers that Parisian victory with more pride than any other and was most pleased with the fact that she coped with the pressure imparted by a partisan Roland Garros crowd, who were so intent on unsettling the interloper threatening their heroine that they insisted on perpetuating a Mexican wave when she attempted to serve for the match.
"Wimbledon would not be like that, I'm sure," she says, smiling. "Last year it seemed a very proper tournament, very traditional and polite. It was an atmosphere I liked very much."
Politeness and manners are something that rank highly for Ivanovic. It is no coincidence that the player she admires most, not just for his ability, but also his demeanour, is Roger Federer. She is in the fortunate position of being an occasional training partner of the revered Swiss, as they share the same physical conditioner, Pierre Paganini.
Her other idol was Monica Seles, whom she insists was the reason she first became attracted to the game. And she is insistent that, unlike in the case of many teenagers from eastern Europe, tennis was her idea, rather than that of her parents. "I remember I was five and I began to watch Monica Seles on television one afternoon," she says. "In the break between games there was a commercial for a tennis school in Belgrade. I told my mother I wanted to play tennis and asked to be taken to that place. She probably did not believe it at first, but I kept asking her so many times that eventually she took me."
Ivanovic's potential was quickly recognised and before long offers were arriving for her to further her career at academies in the United States, but she opted against following the route taken first by Anna Kournikova and later Maria Sharapova. "My parents did not think it was a good idea because they had heard of other kids who went there and were unhappy," she says. "They made a good decision and I did not take too much persuasion."
Eventually, the paucity of Serbian facilities forced Ivanovic to leave home, but she found a base in Switzerland — the commute to Zurich was a manageable two hours. Her tennis flourished and her photogenic commercial potential was also recognised, which is not something that leaves her uncomfortable. "Sure, I enjoy the glamour side of things," she says. "Sometimes it can be fun and it's important to look nice. Every girl should try to look good because then they'll feel good on court."

If you'd like to hire a home care worker without going through an agency, take the following steps recommended by Elinor Ginzler, director of Livable Communities at AARP. First, determine what type of help your loved one requires. Does he or she need someone to help with household chores, personal care and/or health care? Look for a professional who can meet those needs. Seek referrals from family and friends and perhaps from members of your faith-based organization. Then interview job candidates; be sure to include your loved one in the interview process. Don't forget to ask for multiple references. You should call those references, and ask what their experiences have been with the home care worker. … Back to Article

Magnificence Everywhere
The Affection of Grebe Birds for Their Offspring
What might be expected from an animal that has no consciousness is its leaving its offspring after giving birth. However, on the contrary, animals take all the responsibilities for their offspring to such an extent that they don't neglect measures that could protect their broods from dangers they might face in the future.
One of the best examples of this is the grebe, a species of water bird. Grebes carry their offspring on their backs and, for this reason, the parents become a kind of floating nest for their offspring. The newly hatched youngsters climb onto the back of the father or mother. The mother slowly raises her wings so that her offspring will not fall off and feeds them with morsels she holds in her beak, reaching her head out to one side.
However what grebes give to their offspring first is not actual food. Grebes first make their offspring eat feathers that they either collect from the surface of the water or pluck from their breasts. Each chick swallows a large number of feathers. Well, what might be the reason for this interesting diet?
The feathers the chicks eat are not fully digested but rather gathered in their stomachs. Some of them form a felted plug at the point where the stomach leads to the intestine. Fish bones and indigestible parts of other foods accumulate here. Thus, sharp fish bones or hard parts of insects are prevented from passing through the stomach and doing harm to the delicate walls of the intestines. This experience of eating feathers will continue throughout the bird's life. However, the first feathers it is fed are an important precautionary measure for its very health.35
It is possible to see in all creatures behavior like that of the grebes, actions aimed at meeting the needs of the offspring and protecting them in every way. Every creature on Earth assumes every kind of responsibility for their offspring until they reach sufficient maturity to meet their own needs.
This kind of behavior seen among creatures in nature nullifies the evolutionists' claims that "nature is an arena for battle and the survival of the fittest." It is obvious that the origin of this kind of behavior in creatures cannot be in their intelligence and that a bird, tiger or any other animal cannot act according to the needs of other animals, taking delicate details into consideration. These creatures behave by the inspiration of Allah. Allah inspires every creature in its behavior and they conform to this perfectly. Every one of them obeys Allah who has created them. This fact is stated in the Qur'an as follows:
Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to Him. All are submissive to Him. (Surat ar-Rum: 26)
Flight Engines: Dragonflies
The dragonfly has a flawless flying capacity, so much so that it can stop suddenly and begin to fly in the opposite direction at whatever speed or in whatever direction it chooses. Moreover, it can hang in the air in a suitable position to attack its prey. In addition, it can head towards its prey, making agile turns to do so. These are only some of the maneuvering skills of the dragonfly that have provided inspiration for helicopters, the products of today's advanced technology.
The body of the dragonfly has a helical structure wrapped with a metal covering. The dragonfly, which can have various colors, from ice blue to maroon, has two pairs of wings on its back, one pair in front and the other pair to the rear. The wings work in a coordinated way. In other words, as the two front wings rise, the two wings at the rear descend. The movement of the wings is accomplished by the movements of two opposite groups of muscles. One end of the muscles is attached to extensions in the body in the shape of a lever. While one group of muscles contracts and causes a pair of wings to rise, the other group of muscles loosens to the same degree and causes the second pair of wings to fall. In fact, helicopters that are produced using dragonflies as their model descend and ascend using the same principle.
The perfect flight of dragonflies is realized by these four large independent wings carrying its body's weight. This feature enables the insect to make sudden maneuvers, increase its speed and fly at a speed that reaches 10 meters (33 feet) per second.36
The sight capacity of the dragonfly, which can make sudden maneuvers at very high speeds, is also perfect. The eye of the dragonfly is considered, in scientific circles, as the finest insect eye in the world. Each of its eyes contains 30,000 individual lenses. The eyes look like two hemispheres covering half of its head, and they provide a very broad field of vision for the insect. With these extraordinary eyes, the dragonfly can almost see what's happening behind its back.37
As shown above, the dragonfly has a perfectly structured individual system. The slightest deficiency in any one part of these systems will cause the other systems to become useless. However, all the systems have been created perfectly and the creature survives by means of this. The unique design in the dragonfly belongs to Allah. He has the knowledge of all creation.
Life in The Desert
Extreme heat in the daytime, freezing cold at night, droughts lasting for weeks or even months on end, scarcity of food… All this is part of the environment of deserts. It is very difficult to survive under such harsh conditions. However, in spite of all these hardships, there are many creatures that survive and even thrive in the deserts. When we look at these creatures, we see that all their movements and body structures have been created with the characteristics that are appropriate for living there. Allah protects these creatures from heat with unique features He created. When we take a close look at some characteristic examples, we clearly see that the attributes of these creatures couldn't have come into existence by chance, but instead were created by a Creator Who has a superior power.
Sand vipers (Cerastes Vipera) live under the sand. The viper dives into the sand with a sideways wiggle. It moves its tail from left to right very quickly and then this movement covers the whole body, consisting of three twists, until has the snake buried itself completely, save perhaps one or both of its eyes. This way, the viper lies in wait and so hunts for its prey. But such a strategy runs the risk of the snake's eyes suffering harm, since they are kept outside in a place where sandstorms may suddenly whip up. However, because of the design of the viper's eyes, this risk is completely eliminated. The eye of the viper is protected against the irritating effects of the sand with an outer "spectacle" made up of a transparent scale.38
The cream-colored fennec fox, the smallest of the foxes, another desert denizen, has very large ears. These foxes live in the sandy deserts of Africa and Arabia. Its wide ears not only help to determine the location of its prey but also serve to prevent excessive heating and enable the animal to stay cool.39
The shovel-snouted lizard, which lives in the desert, moves as if dancing on the sand in order to cool its tail and legs. Then, taking support from its tail, it transversely lifts one front and one back foot. After a couple of seconds, the feet switch positions. The lizard almost swims on sand hills by means of its aerodynamically shaped nose and body, and its large feet enable it to run on the sand very rapidly.40
The desert frog, which lives in Australia, is like a water tank. When it rains, the frog fills the pouches in its body with water. Then it buries itself under the sand and begins to wait for the coming rains. When they become thirsty, other desert animals find these animals and drink water from them, taking them out of the sand.41
Variety in Animal Eyes
The structure of the eyes of fish enables them to see clearly underwater, while the eyes of birds make it possible for them to see through the air as they fly. The structures of the eyes of other creatures are likewise designed according to their needs. It is obvious that an organ like an eye which has a complex structure cannot acquire its features on it own, features that are different in every creature. Any person who examines the examples of this with wisdom and conscience will immediately see the fact that all creatures have been created by Allah. The examples given below constitute a way to reflect upon this fact.
Birds have a sharper sense of sight than humans, and they can scan a broader area in detail. A bird can see a number of images that a man only perceives by seeing in parts, but for a bird they are as a whole at a single glance. For birds, this is a great advantage for hunting. When compared to humans, some birds can see a distance six times farther than our sight.
For man, the momentary loss of sight that occurs during the split-second blinking of an eye is not very important. However, this could very well cause a problem for a bird flying very fast at an altitude of hundreds of meters. For this reason, when birds blink their eyes, there are no interruptions whatsoever in their seeing for birds have a third eyelid called a nictitating membrane. This membrane is transparent and it moves from one side of the eye to the other. Thus, birds can wink their eyes without completely closing them. In addition, birds that dive into water use this membrane as diving glasses and so protect their eyes from harm.
BAs another example, the eyes of the camel also have features that provide protection exactly as needed. The hard bones around the eyes protect them from sunlight and against blows. Even the strongest sandstorms do not hurt the eyes of a camel because its eyelashes have an interlocked structure and the eyes close automatically at the moment of danger. Thus, even a small bit of dust cannot enter the animal's eyes.
Fishes' eyes look at the world from behind a transparent screen. This curtain resembles divers' "goggles." Their firm, spherical eye lenses are adjusted to see nearby objects. Another reason for a fish's lenses being spherical is that light refracts when passing through water. Since their eyes are filled with a fluid that is almost at the same density as water, when the images formed outside are reflected in the eye, refraction does not occur. As a result of this, the lens focuses the image of the outside object on the retina perfectly and, unlike humans, the fish can see very clearly under water.
The Special Cooling Systems in Gazelles' Bodies
People have recently invented mechanical cooling systems and, with technological advancements, can bring them up to today's modern conditions. Yet, we were not the first to discover cooling systems. Every warm-blooded creature on Earth already has the necessary mechanisms in its body for heat control and was created in possession of this design. We can give the speedy gazelles of Africa as an example of this. The gazelle has to run away from its enemies in order to survive, because it has no another defense method. This burst of speed causes a sharp increase in the body temperature of the gazelle. However, in order to survive, the gazelle needs to keep its brain cooler than its body.
The gazelle has a unique cooling system in its brain. Gazelles and similar animals have hundreds of small arteries that divide and pass through a large pool of blood lying next to their breathing passages. The air they inhale cools this nasal pool, so the blood passing through the tiny arteries in it is cooled, too. Then the tiny arteries come together in a single blood vessel that carries blood to the brain.42
The interesting point here is that this flawless system cannot come into being by itself, since the non-existence of such a necessary cooling system would spell the end of the gazelle when it makes its very first run.
As is seen in the example of the gazelles' cooling systems, the design of creatures has such complexity that it cannot be explained by the "gradual development" claim of evolutionists. In other words, it is impossible for a creature's bodily structures and organs to come into being, over time, through small changes. The bodies of living things are full of structures, similar to that of the gazelles' cooling system, which will be of no use whatsoever if even a single part is missing. This proves that creatures have not come into being over time, through chance but, on the contrary, have been created perfectly by Allah. This is an obvious fact for people of intelligence as also stated in the Qur'an:
He said, "The Lord of the East and the West and everything between them if you used your intellect." (Surat ash-Shu'ara: 28)

Klamath Falls, Ore. -- The first medical marijuana dispensary in southern Oregon opened this morning in Klamath Falls.
Edward Medina, Jr. opened his dispensary at nine this morning.
Medina got his state license on Monday...
"Honestly, there was times I presumed that this would never happen."
While most customers wanted to remain anonymous, medical marijuana card holder Dale Barr is an exception...
"I've decided that I'm not going to be discrete anymore - and I'm really happy that this place is opening up."
Fellow card holder Robert Harris spoke before the Klamath Falls City Council, and the Klamath County Commissioners in support of allowing dispensaries...
"This is real good to our community. It takes the black market out of the picture in some places."
But not everyone in Klamath County is in favor of dispensaries.
Darlene Cunningham recently testified before the board of commissioners...
"Are they going to be able to get it just like they do tobacco, and liquor? Please, I beg of you - do not allow these shops to open."
The Klamath County Commissioners adopted a year long moratorium on dispensaries last week.
But dispensaries are currently legal in the city of Klamath Falls...which is all that matters to Dale Barr.
"To have a place like this, that i know is safe - that the people here I can trust - I know that they're following the law."
Nevertheless, Edward Medina says he's still nervous about his new business...
"We're just going to take it one day at a time."
There weren't any customers waiting for the dispensary to open at nine this morning...but by 11:AM, about 30 people had come in to visit the sales room.

Colts, Not Bengals Better Bet For Patriots In Playoffs
This AFC Divisional Playoff Game features legendary New England quarterback Tom Brady against Indy's Andrew Luck, who seems to be a legend in the making.
Colts Advance Over Chiefs With Second Largest Comeback In Playoff History
If grades would have been handed out after the first half of the game, the Indianapolis Colts would have received straight F's across the entire board. With the second largest comeback in NFL playoff history ousting the Kansas City Chiefs, it's quite amazing what a difference just 30 minutes can make.

Meet the unsung heroes of the Rhino poaching crisis
Feb 21, 2012
More than 2,500 rhino have been killed by poachers in South Africa between 2009 and 2013 and trends indicate that the deaths will only continue to escalate due the greed of globally-controlled criminal poaching syndicates, many of whom have links to international terrorist groups. The threats to brave South African rangers and anti-poaching units grow daily: they need support – now.
In May 2011 as the rhino poaching crisis escalated, ACT established the ACT Rhino Fund, a funding and programme implementation initiative dedicated to assisting the conservation sector's efforts to protect South Africa's White and Black rhino populations.
100% of funds donated through the ACT Rhino Fund go to bona-fide rhino conservation and anti-poaching efforts of reputable NGOs, game reserves and state conservation agencies.
The ACT Rhino Fund's goal is to raise R10 million for critical rhino anti-poaching priorities in South Africa that are implemented by legitimate conservation groups that support large groups of threatened rhinos.white rhino & calf
To date, the ACT Rhino Fund has generated support of R6.3million from South African citizens, businesses, charitable foundations, schools, shopping centres, the tourism and adventure sports sectors. R3.4million of this came from Skydive for Rhinos – ACT's rhino fundraising and awareness campaign in 2011 and 2012.
In 2013 Skydive for Rhinos morphed into a broader campaign called ACT for Rhinos, which continues to raise funds for anti-poaching initiatives in KwaZulu-Natal. The ACT Rhino Fund has been instrumental in the implementation of innovative anti-poaching initiatives and the development of strategic partnerships. These include:
The work of the ACT Rhino Fund was recognised by the 2012 Rhino Conservation Awards, as one of the 10 Best NGO efforts against rhino poaching in South Africa.

The African Conservation Trust's tax exemption status means we can provide Donations Certificates upon request.
Five anti-poaching strategies are the main beneficiaries:
Funds will be distributed nationally, with key priority regions being KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo,North West and the Eastern Cape.
In response to what can only be described as an onslaught to South Africa's black and white rhino populations from organised poaching syndicates, ACT ran its successful Skydive for Rhino's campaign in KwaZulu-Natal in 2011. Building on the success of the campaign, ACT rolled out a nation-wide campaign in 2012 to raise funds for four major national rhino anti-poaching strategies.
The campaign was a huge success and resulted in 400+ jumpers skydiving from 4 sites around the country raising R6.6 million in cash and kind. The funds raised have been used for aerial surveillance, advanced training for game reserve staff, the provision of equipment for rhino anti-poaching units (APUs) and community intervention programmes.

From Intelligent Design to BioLogos
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.

In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
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.
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.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.

It is precisely this theological concern – for the goodness of God – that motivates some Christians to favor competing theories about how and when sin entered the world.

Series: The Human Fossil Record (20 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Series: From the Dust (13 entries)
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist (5 entries)
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Series: Understanding Randomness (5 entries)
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity (9 entries)
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
Series: God and Creation (5 entries)
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient

El Nino to follow dry winter in Williams?
Last week brought to an end one the driest meteorological winters on record in (Williams), but some fresh hope for dry climes was released on Thursday.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued an El Nino watch, forecasting a likely return of the phenomenon later this year.
In (Williams), moderate and weak El Nino years have historically made little difference. So it's no guarantee of wet weather, but a strong El Nino could help make up for the dry winter.
The National Weather Service office in Bellemont, AZ said that (Williams) received just 19.3 inches of snowfall — the equivalent of 1.95 inches of precipitation — between Dec. 1 and Feb. 28. That's the period meteorologists refer to as winter.
"It was defined that way because the coldest temperatures are centered on those three months," said National Weather Service Meteorologist Justin Johndrow. "By the end of astronomical winter in later March, it's already getting pretty warm."
February continued the pattern that persisted all of this dry winter, with temperatures much warmer than average and less than a half-inch of precipitation, also well below normal. Only 10 (Williams) meteorological winters have been drier in the last 116 years.
And it was hotter this year, too. The Weather Service said this winter is the 12th warmest on record for (Williams). The average temperature (the highs vs. the lows) was above freezing through the winter at 33.2 degrees.
(Williams') driest winter ever was 2005-06, which saw just 0.33 inches of precipitation.
The summer of 2006 saw the Forest Service close the national forest around (Williams), as the persistent drought raised wildfire fears. And the fires still broke out, with the Warm, Woody and Brins fires hitting area forests hard. Firefighters were able to stop the Brins fire before it could devastate Oak Creek Canyon.

Countdown to a milestone

: Guys. It's a flawed milestone. Politics never counted on the old board . . .
Yeah, I did wonder about that. Was it just Politics that wasn't counted? I have a feeling Religion might not have been counted either; it might have been just the Arts posts that were counted.
: Nevertheless, way to go Peter! Oh, and you will be 40? Such a baby, eh Darrell?
I don't remember turning 10, but I do remember turning 20 and thinking that I could finally look down my nose at teenagers, and I also remember turning 30 and thinking "Oh my God, the next one's 40." But now that I *am* turning 40, I'm not sure that I have any thoughts at all on the matter. Maybe that's because the kids take up so much of my time, whereas I didn't even have a girlfriend (much less a wife or a family) on my previous turn-of-the-decade b-days. Or maybe it's because 40 doesn't really feel all that different from 30 (though I do appreciate what Chris Hitchens told Jon Stewart about 60 feeling different from 50).
One thing I *have* become sensitive to, though, is reports of people my age dying of cancer etc. I found out last year that a journalist whose job-and-apartment I took for two months in 1999 (and a very pivotal two months they were, for me) had died in 2008 at the age of 45, of colon cancer; and then, a couple days ago, I happened to discover a blog written by one of the more prolific student-newspaper writers from my time at UBC (I don't think I ever met him personally, but I certainly worked with friends of his), and in that blog he talks about the fact that he is now 41 and he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer 3.5 years ago and he doesn't expect to live to 45. ("What is it with journalists getting cancer in their butts at 40!?" I asked when I passed this news to my wife. "Maybe it's because you sit on your butts all day?" she hypothesized.)
And for some reason I keep thinking about the fact that I have outlived Gene Eugene, who died suddenly of an aneurysm at the age of 38, back in 2000. I was 29 at the time of Eugene's death, and I wasn't even all that big a fan of his; I was an avid follower of the Lost Dogs, but primarily because of Terry Scott Taylor's involvement. (I didn't listen to an entire Adam Again album until sometime later.) But somehow just knowing that people could die that young got to me, and that was over a decade ago.
Hmmm. A&F has been around in one form or another for at least eight years, maybe nine (or maybe even eleven, if we stretch the history of this community to include the Phantom Tollbooth's OnFilm Yahoo group, where quite a few of us first met). Have any of us died, though? I know friends and relatives of ours have died, but have any actual A&Fers died? (I'm going to feel really awful if it turns out someone did and I forgot.)
Morbid thoughts for a birthday, I know. But as John the apostle says in Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth (1977), "Birth is the beginning of death." Or, as Terry Scott Taylor sang on the album A Briefing for the Ascent (1987), "I die a little every day I live." (And THAT'S the sort of pop culture I was into when I was a teenager...)
Posted 01 October 2010 - 06:27 PM
Now that you mention it, that's right. Only Arts counted. No Religion, no Wine, no Coffee, no heh, Bush v Gore, etc. Maybe you hit this last year. I remember eye glazing discussions between you and SDG on Religion. Happy 40.
Yeah, I did wonder about that. Was it just Politics that wasn't counted? I have a feeling Religion might not have been counted either; it might have been just the Arts posts that were counted.
Oh, and per your last comment, I will have been around 10 years myself next Fall. It was still Chiarroscurro(sic) back then.

Peter T. Chattaway, in a recent interview with Larry King...
" . . . Let me tell you a story, sort of a parable. One day in 1990-something-or-other, I logged on to my computer. My name was Pete Chattaway at the time. I signed on to a new website and added my two cents. Then I bought a house in the hills. It had a swimming pool. Unheated, but it had water in it. One night I came home late, I jumped in the pool, I swam a few laps, I got out, I dried myself off, I put on my clothes, logged back on to the computer, and added another of my two cents to the umpteenth version of this site. Do you see what I'm saying, Larry? 20,000 plus posts, I don't know where they went. Gone like that."
Peter T. Chattaway on Oprah...
"'Can I tell you a story, Oprah?' In 1990-something-or-other, when I was 27 or 28, I logged on to the first incarnation of what would become Arts & Faith. At the time I lived in a house on Fountain Avenue. It had a swimming pool. I had some opinions on film that I wanted to express... they were running right down the middle of my brain.
"'Then I went out back, I jumped into the pool, I took a shower, got dressed and logged back on to the computer, and expressed some more opinions. That's how quick these 20,000 fucking posts have gone...quick as that.'"

Hong Kong help!!!
My friend and I are headed to HK for two nights in mid October. If you had one night to dine in HK (we are single in our 30s from NYC) and money is not an issue, where would you recommend?
Assuming you have not been to Hong Kong, I would go for an 'authentic' Cantonese meal at a restaurant with a VIEW. You won't go wrong with any of the Michelin star rated restaurants such as Yan Toh Heen ( Intercontinental Hotel ), Lung King Heen ( Four Seasons ) or the newly opened Tin Lung Heen inside the Ritz Carlton. Great view to go with the food. If you don't care much about the view, then add Fook Lam Moon ( Wan Chai district ) and Ming Court ( Mong Kok Langham Hotel ) to the list. Final venue might depend on which hotel you will be staying?! eg., no point heading over to the island for dinner if you are staying on Kowloon side?!
Lung King Heen
Finance Street, Hong Kong , HK
re: Charles Yu
Charles, didn't we mention that Lung King Heen is over-priced and has been rubbished by Chowhounds like Peech before? Personally, I also disliked Lung King Heen as their food seem ordinary, considering their reputation.
Tin Lung Heen, now that's another story altogether. But you will have to book well ahead though as it's probably the most popular Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong at the moment.
re: M_Gomez
Hello M_Gomez!
Yes, LKH's food might be 'over-rated' for a 3* but overall the food is still pretty good. ( I think our mutual chowfriend klyeoh also liked it ). Stopping short of suggesting another ??? Chinese restaurant with a fine view like 'Man Wah' on top of the Mandarin, LKH seems to be the best 'island side' choice with a view??!!
re: Charles Yu
Oops, wasn't me, Charles. I was underwhelmed by Lung King Heen as well, but I'd only did dinner there whereas I was told that they are more well-known for their dim sum?
I'd recommend a French dinner at Caprice if one chooses to dine at the Four Seasons. The views are to-die for, and with the cuisine to match.
re: klyeoh
Sorry!! Who then?! I recalled someone posting pictures of stuffed crab shell...etc on either facebook or chowhound?!
Must be getting old!!....sigh :(
re: Charles Yu
LOL! Well, Charles, some Chowhounds did like Lung King Heen, but not me or Peech & some others.
re: klyeoh
Go to Cuisine Cuisine at IFC instead of LKH. I would say that LKH is DECENT but Cuisine Cuisine's dishes gave me a SPECIAL sensation.
Just saying. :)
Also lunch at Caprice if you can book a table. I recently sent a friend there and he loved it a lot. :)
re: micheniche
Are you sure about IFC Cuisine Cuisine???!!!! When were you there last??!! Quite a few fellow chowhouinders including Fourseasons, Peech...etc have had really bad experiences there! They even lost their star from Michelin last year!! To play safe, I would either go to the 2* Cuisine Cuisine at the MIRA or Lei Garden at IFC instead!!
Lei Garden
IFC Mall, Hong Kong , HK
re: Charles Yu
i went there on jan 2011. i felt that it was really nice. :) not sure about mira that's why i asked whether i should go to the one at mira or ifc this time round. I went for dim sum lunch. Not dinner. We got super good service as well and my parents and i were very surprised. we ordered most of their signature dishes and ate quite a bit of dim sum.
I read about the comments written about IFC but they are dated 2009?
Also what's special at lei garden?
And for me, Michelin stars are sometimes confusing...
re: micheniche
I just find ALL Lei Garden pretty 'consistent'. Love their roasted meat and the way they prepare seafood. May be you can by pass both and try out Hoi King Heen instead?! Very good food. Fellow chowhounders Fourseasons, skylineR33 and myself all tried it and loved it!
re: micheniche
I'd also suggest if Caprice if looking for French and a wonderful view.
If you're after a traditional French restaurant I can highly recommend Gaddis and Caprice.
Or for something left field try Bo Innovation for the molecular approach and a fun night out.
But really you can probably get similar to these in NYC so I'd listen to Charles and M_Gomez and follow the 'authentic' Cantonese path. Yan Toh Heen and Lung King Heen are both very nice though LKH does struggle to justify a 3* rating over YTH's 1*
Lung King Heen
Finance Street, Hong Kong , HK
If you're considering Lung King Heen, here is my review
A Chinese restaurant receiving the highest award is unheard of before until Michelin gave Lung King Heen (LKH) 3-star a few years ago. Sure, a restaurant can receive any top honors by zagat, local newspapers or event restaurant magazine, but for any chefs nothing seems to beat the joy upon hearing the red-guide top rating. Is it truly a 3-star in the sense that LKH deserves to stands tall together many European institutions?
Food (and wine) - 90/100
Chinese restaurants are generally better for sharing though recently many places also serve the dishes on individual plates. We visited LKH for lunch as we want to try its dim sum too, especially if you're in HK – "dian xin" is a must-have. Some of my favorite dim sum dishes would be = baked abalone with diced chicken: fresh and big chunk of abalone with brown sauce serve on warm puffs; baked bbq pork: the bun mixed well of soft and crispy part with tasty pork inside. This was even better than the regular "cha shao bao"
Many people crave for the steamed lobster and scallop dumplings, it's quite good and luxurious but not wow. The "xiao long bao" was above average, while the baked seafood tartlets are alright and not cloying. For the normal items, we had bbq suckling pick (crispy and sweet) … I like it better with thin layers of fat actually instead of a thin bun. If you're serious about suckling pig, my favorite will be at Kimberly Chinese restaurant – my wife and I ordered the whole pig only for the two of us A mixture of roast & baked chicken with sesame was a nice traditional Cantonese food – possibly the best I've tasted (Tim's kitchen come close 2nd). The pan-fried scallops and sea food fried rice were nice to have, but not extraordinary.
Again for the desserts, we went safe – chilled mango & sago cream + chilled tofu custard. They're, again, above average but you can get similar dishes in many other Chinese restaurants. We didn't try LKH's famous peking duck since we got the idea that it's better to eat peking duck at Peking restaurants, Sha Tin 18 or Spring Deer. Like many other Chinese places, the items in the LKH's menus are abundant but mostly are familiar and the same with many other Chinese restaurants. While in general, they're good and above average, I was not convinced that it deserves a 3-star. Will the shark's fin or abalone justify the highest accolade? I'm not sure since I've tasted the usual double-boiled shark's fin & abalone with special brown sauce anywhere (e.g. Hua Ting Singapore, Sun Tung Lok) – chances are that they would not taste much different here. A positive aspect was that during my lunch, chef Chan Yantak was not in the kitchen, but the dishes served were generally good.
In conclusion, I gave my food here 90/100 (2*). I like this place better than Tang's court, Lei garden or Xiyan, but still it lacks 3-star wow effects (consistent dishes that are delicious and perfectly prepared as well as unique).
Service (and ambiance) - 91/100
I couldn't remember something special about the service here. It's a standard and professional service like in many other high-end Chinese restaurants: polite, they will re-fill your tea (they missed 1-2 times), friendly but not much in terms of personality/character and product knowledge (they memorize the dishes ingredients, but did not seem to be excited when explaining them). Again, you will receive different kind of hospitality when you dined at the neighbor Caprice, especially if Jeremy Evrard often coming to your table. Again, nothing wrong in the service, but it's pretty inferior compared to other 3-star restaurants I've visited.
He décor here was quite pleasant with silver-leaf ceilings, dark hard woods and some floral arrangements. As expected in many HK fine dining places, you will see HK impressive harbour views. Chinese restaurant table setting and chairs are usually not as convenient as the western restaurants. I enjoyed the views better when sitting at Caprice's sofa-like chairs or Spoon/Pierre. By and large, LKH is a nice restaurant serving authentic contemporary Cantonese cuisine. If you don't order any Chinese luxurious ingredients, the pricing is very reasonable compared to other 3-star places. Will I return? Of course. Is a 3-star place? Not for my standard

re: Bu Pun Su
I don't think anyone is questioning about the quality of LKH's Dim Sum, decor, service or view. Its dinner that they have issues on! To fully justify a 3* rating, IMO both lunch AND dinner should be of equal standard. However, dinner dishes are frequently not as good as other 1 or 2*s like Yan Toh Heen, Ming Court, Fook Lam Moon....etc
re: Charles Yu
I have not tried LKH for dinner yet
But generally in most Chinese restaurants, the dinner and lunch menu ... aren't they the same? I meant just take out the dim sum part.
I suppose you have tried the same dishes that tasted differently when you had them during lunch vs dinner at LKH?
re: Bu Pun Su
Yes, but some of the more sophisticated dishes and specialty of the day might not be available during lunch time.
For lunch at LKH, I only ordered Dim Sum. For dinner, its individual a la carte dishes. However, I found some of the dishes like the 'Stuffed crab shell' of LKH inferior to say those at Fook Lam Moon.
re: Charles Yu
Just sharing some photos from my LKH dinner from quite a long while back:
1) Stuffed crab shell
2) Pan-fried scallops with pear
3) Dongpo Pork
4) LKH roast chicken
5) Braised baby white cabbage
6) Assorted desserts
Unfortunately, none of the dishes made any impression on me. The stuffed crab shell was quite tasty but overly-greasy, and one only discerned a faint crab flavor. We were told to prick a hole thru the panko-like crust of the stuffed crab and drip Worcestershire sauce into the filling inside. Good, but no "wow" factor.
The scallops & pear dish, a recommendation from our waiter who said it was good, actually looked like it strayed off from their lunch-time dim sum menu. I was disappointed as I was expecting some delicious braised scallops (preferably with orange roe attached) served in their shells. Definitely NOT something battered & deep-fried.
Dongpo pork was average. The one restaurant in HK which bowled me over with its rendition of Dongpo Pork was Ye Shanghai over at Marco Polo Hotel in Harbour City, Tsimshatsui. But other than that, I'd prefer to have Dongpo Pork over in Shanghai where many restaurants elevated the preparation of that dish almost to an art form.
LKH roast chicken - very good: crisp-skinned cloaking moist meat underneath. But any HK diner wil tell you that a good Cantonese chef in HK worth his toque must be able to come up with this particular dish.
All in all, IMO, LKH is definitely NOT 3-Michelin-star standard!! Didn't know what the Michelin inspectors were thinking - or maybe they weren't exactly incognito, and were given extra-special treatment. Didn't someone said the Michelin inspectors actually stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel itself?
P.S. - When I dined at Hakkasan in London back in 2003 (then the wqrld's first Chinese restaurant to receive a Michelin-star), it totally bowled me over with its superb dim sum, Hakka-braised mui-choy with pork & Hakka noodles, luxe setting & superb service, I understood immediately why it got 1-Michelin-star. Even today, Hakkasan remained the only Chinese restaurant in Europe to hold a Michelin-star rating (I think the Mayfair branch of Hakkasan was also awarded a Michelin-star, besides the original outlet in Hanway place). I'd still choose to go back to Hakksan over LKH anyday!
re: klyeoh
I wonder how those Michelin star Chinese Restaurants in 'Tokyo' compare?!!
The thing is - 'When in Japan, why bother with Chinese food'!!!! Thus none of the chowhounders I know like Fourseasons or skylineR33 bother to give them a try?! Uncle Yubai, may be??!!
Ref: Your crispy skin roasted chicken. I have heard from multiple sources, including my wife, that the BEST rendition of this dish is from the kitchen of the ' Chinese Chamber of Commerce member restaurant ' in Central!! Beat Fu Sing, Lei Garden, FLM, Manor....etc hands down!! If you know of any friends with connection or membership, you should ask them to take you inside and give it a try!!
re: Charles Yu
Thanks, Charles - I'm in HK on the first week of Dec, but don't think I'd know anyone in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce!
I'd never had Chinese food which I liked in Tokyo - in every instance, thecooking had been tweaked to suit Japanese tastes. I made it a point to only have Japanese food but, in 2006 (pre-Michelin Japan), I had to do a 3-week trip to Tokyo with a Shanghainese colleague who'd only eat Chinese food (he didn't even enjoy top kaiseki or sushi spots I brought him to). So, we ended up dining in mostly Chinese restaurants in the evenings - I found top-flight Chinese restaurants in Tokyo (mostly located in hotels) to be extremely expensive: US$450-US$550 for 3 persons - mind you, we did NOT order luxury items nor alcohol. At the end of the trip, I think we'd tried about 10+ high-end Chinese restaurants in Tokyo, but I didn't like any of them. In fact, the best Chinese we tried was the Tokyo branch of HK's Fook Lam Moon: Fukurimon at the Ginza:
For one night for a first-time visitor, I would go to Bo Innovation - you get local Cantonese flavors in a tasty modern innovative presentation. The setting is representative of hip hong kong while avoiding the more generic "5 star international hotel" setting. And then before/after dinner you can poke around star street for drinks or the Pawn, for an experience that is very hong kong, but also pleasant, or if you want you can walk around the street markets for something that is very very hong kong, but perhaps not so pleasant.
And then if you want local traditional canto food, you can do dim sum over lunch.
re: dangerdan
I second your recommendation. I love Bo Innovation ever since it was Bo Innoseki ("Innovative Kaiseki", get it? Ha-ha) first at Gilman's Bazaar, then at Ice House Street in Central before he moved to Wanchai now.
I don't like how Alvin Leung looks (he's scary) but his cooking skill is sublime.
re: M_Gomez
Chinese restaurants normally have > 150 items on and off the menu at any given day
Is it realistic for them to produce 3-star quality dishes when someone randomly pick any dish? Or for a 3-star restaurant ... it's a must, not a choice? For the western counterparts, they will generally have 50 items max at their menu
Most Chinese restaurant seems to lack in terms of bringing in something new to the table that will wow the diners, tickle their palates and make them think about the dish(es) even after 1 week or month eating there

Nico Hulkenberg has revealed that his future will be decided within the next three weeks.
Having missed out on a Ferrari drive, the German has been linked to a move to Lotus where he would replace Kimi Raikkonen, the driver who beat him to the Ferrari seat.
Hulkenberg, though, is not the only one being linked to the vacant Lotus seat with the Sauber driver revealing this future will be decided "Soon ... one, two, three weeks."
Speaking to ESPN he added: "These things take time. You speak to each other, you see what you come up with together and it's the usual talks.
"There's no issues or nothing major, but like I said these things are a bit time consuming to finalise everything.
"I'm fairly confident but I also learned my lesson in 2010; take nothing for granted!"
For now, though, he remains a Sauber driver and one who is hoping that the team can continue their recent run of form.
"I'd like to think [form will continue] and I'm fairly confident that for the remaining six races we can keep this level.
"I think we have the performance to be there just in or around the top ten and can challenge for more points from here onwards."

So ambitious is the Nashville Symphony's upcoming "Nashville Swings!" program that the orchestra is bringing in reinforcements. For the wide-ranging survey of big band music, the symphony will be joined by Nashville Jazz Orchestra's rhythm section and vocalists Abby Burke and Mike Eldred. Albert-George Schram will conduct this Pops series concert.
"Nashville Swings!" will be presented 7 p.m. Jan. 17 and 8 p.m. Jan. 18-19 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
"This is kind of a unique situation in that all of these guys are from one specific ensemble," said Jeff Bailey, Nashville Symphony's co-principal trumpet.
These musicians are no stranger to Bailey, who said he played numerous shows with Nashville Jazz Orchestra members, including trombone player Barry Green and founder/director Jim Williamson (a fellow trumpet player) as an Opryland musician back in the 1980s.
Burke is another Opryland alumna from that era. The Massachusetts native came to Nashville to sing in the park's version of "Showboat."
"Abby Burke is incredible, Mike Eldred is too," Bailey said. "Abby, vocally she's kind of a freak, the things she can cover; she's like a gymnast. She's extremely musical."
Burke will perform a Peggy Lee-influenced version of "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "I've Got That Fascinating Rhythm," a Gershwin medley. She and Eldred also will sing duets, including "Birth of the Blues" and "Bandstand Boogie" — a 1954 instrumental by Les and Larry Elgart that got a second life as the theme of "American Bandstand" with lyrics by Barry Manilow.
"I never knew in my life there were so many words in that song," Burke joked by phone.
Burke's first performance with the Nashville Symphony came as a last-minute replacement at a big band concert at Centennial Park. She last performed with the orchestra at the 2006 Ray Charles tribute at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
"Being asked to do this is like coming full circle," she said.
It's also a chance to play homage to music that served as a soundtrack to her life.
Burke remembers her mother playing a song called "Bye-Bye Blues" every Saturday: at 9 months old, Burke reportedly sang the refrain and matched three pitches. Her mother's excitement was only tempered when she realized her young daughter's first words hadn't been "mama." Burke also recalls her uncle playing big band records and asking her to repeat the lines played by the saxes.
This personal history informs Burke's approach to songs, as does an awareness of a song's history and context.
Big band music is closely associated with the 1940s, wartime pride, acrobatic jitterbugging and even a certain sound. These things have become shorthand for music that is actually much more diverse — and covers a longer time span — than the big band label implies.
"Nashville Swings!" acknowledges the variety in the genre with selections from a wide array of composers and songwriters. The sweet, full sounds of Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" open the program; Louis Prima's energetic "Sing Sing Sing" closes the show. Along the way are iconic tunes by Cole Porter ("I've Got You Under My Skin"), Cab Calloway ("Minnie the Moocher"), George Gershwin along with later swing music by John Williams (music from the "Star Wars" cantina scene), Brian Setzer, Victor Vanacore and Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band.
