The Daily Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards celebrate the achievements of truly remarkable people who make our world a better place.
Nominated by the public, the winners are from all walks of life, of all ages, and from all over the country. Their achievements are awe-inspiring and a lesson to us all. They say they are ordinary people, but their acts are truly extraordinary.
Since the first Pride of Britain in 1999, royalty, prime ministers, and hundreds of leading figures from showbusiness, sport, politics and the arts have all taken part. Hosted by Carol Vorderman, the Awards attract an audience of around five million viewers every year in a primetime slot on ITV - making it the highest rated awards show of its kind on British television.
Our winners come from tens of thousands of public nominations and stories of remarkable individuals discovered by our team of researchers. They are whittled down to a shortlist from which our judging panel, made up of celebrated figures in national life, chooses the winners, who will be honoured at a glittering ceremony at an exclusive London venue.

We're delighted to be supporting Pride of Britain for the fourth year running. It's such a wonderful and accurate reflection of the courage of ordinary people in our country who have achieved amazing feats in the face of adversity.
These people have made decisions that have had an enormously positive impact on their communities and, while they don't expect praise in return, they inspire us all to do good and to make changes for the better.
These awards give us an opportunity to champion these incredible people and showcase what is so great about Britain. We should feel very, very proud of these unsung heroes and we look forward to giving them the recognition that they so deserve.
Ronny Gottschlich, Managing Director, Lidl UK

Mark Webber looks set to be the oldest driver on the 2013 grid, but he's not fazed by his age, only his performances...
Mark Webber looks set to be the oldest driver on the 2013 grid, but he's not fazed by his age, only his performances.
With Michael Schumacher having retired and Pedro de la Rosa's HRT outfit no longer running, the 36-year-old Australian is the oldest of the drivers confirmed for next season.
The fact is not one that the Red Bull driver is losing any sleep over, with Webber insisting that as long as he is producing results his age is of little consequence.
"I'm not at the start of the career, I know that. I'm more towards the back end of my career," he is quoted as saying by Autosport.
"My goal is to put together a campaign. I have fought for championships and I've had some good and very special memories over the past few years.
"Your peak is all relative. You've got to piece it all together.
"And you've got to be honest with yourself and say 'look mate, it's the right time now' - and I don't think it is the right time now.
"Until that point comes where you feel that you're not getting the most out of yourself, and you're sliding, then you need to keep pressing on," he added.
"That's all we can do next year."

1 1/2 pounds

1/3 cup

1 teaspoon
dried rosemary, crushed
3/4 teaspoon
1 (4 pound)
whole roasting chicken
This was very good. Even my kids liked it! The only thing I did differently was cover it with foil the last 30 minutes so that it stayed juicy. Delicious!
This was pretty good. I liked the flavor of the marinade on the chicken, but didn't care for how the potatoes came out. If I use this recipe again in the future, I would skip the potatoes, stuff the onion inside the chicken's cavity, and just baste the bird with the marinade.

I cooked this for my boyfriend's family for Christmas dinner. I made a minor adjustment by taking the potatoes away from the recipe, since I was already making mash potatoes. I also used the remaining soy sauce mixture and onions to make the gravy which was absolutely scrumptious!
This was super easy and smelled wonderful while roasting. Only mistake I made is I forgot to stir the potatoes and onions for the first hour, but remeberd for the last 30 minutes and they turned out perfect. Will be making again for sure.
This was SO good! It tasted similar to a rotisserie chicken. I made it for a Mother's Day dinner and everyone loved it!! I didn't change a thing about the recipe, except I made mashed potatoes on the side instead. The drippings from this would make an excellent gravy. You could even use the marinade on chicken pieces- like boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Great recipe!
Excellent recipe! I think this is the best roast chicken I've ever made. Great gravy too. Didn't change a thing.
Very good. Made the recipe w/o the potatoes and onions because my family prefers baked potatoes. The chicken was very tender and juicy, and the marinade was delicious. Will Definitely make again. Took another poster's suggestion and covered the chicken with foil for the last 30 minutes. perfect. Thanks for the recipe.
Easy to make and comes out moist and delicious. Used a 4 lb bird - free range, vegetarian chicken. Used 6 potatoes. Just add a vegetable and dinner is done. Will make again.

This review is from Printable Tabs, Self-Adhesive 16280:
Loved these tabs for a professional look for an application. It was great that they were re-positionable, it really helped when I needed to make a quick change!
This review is from Printable Tabs, Self-Adhesive 16283:
I purchased these tabs to use with my OSL study book to make it easier to find my place, I love that you can print on them any font you want they're completely customizable! I love that they are self adhesive and that they are multi-colored! I even shared them with other people in my class for their books!! I will continue to use Avery products,
This review is from Printable Tabs, Self-Adhesive 16282:
Good quality. Adheres well. The most complicated part is getting it to print correctly. The sample guide sheet was faded and didn't read well. I used the template from avery.com but if you are going print the tabs, I recommend running a test print to make sure it lines up properly. It will save you a few tabs and some frustration.
This review is from Printable Tabs, Self-Adhesive 16282:
I needed tabs instead of divider pages because I needed them closer together or farther apart. I could put them on pages wherever I wanted as needed. They printed great and I can find things quickly. When I showed them in my class, everyone wanted some, so I ordered for everyone. Thanks for a great product .
This review is from Printable Tabs, Self-Adhesive 16282:
These do not replace the great Swift Tabs that were discontinued. They are ok for in house tabbing, but if you were to send these to a customer, I would not recommend it. The glue on the fold over tab comes loose. Sometimes the tab is severed where it should be folded over. So, I worry that by the time my customer receives my professional binding that these tabs have all come loose in the box.

National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy
National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy
Recent Activity
Immigration from the Caribbean to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning largely after 1965. This report provides a demographic profile of the 1.7 million Caribbean immigrants in the United States: their geographic settlement, education and workforce characteristics, earnings, modes of entry, and more.
Texas has the second-largest number of English Language Learner (ELL) students in the nation. Using a unique longitudinal data set that tracks ELL and non-ELL students in Texas from first grade through high school, this report examines the trajectories and performance of individual groups.
A discussion on the gains that young adult immigrants or the U.S.-born children of immigrants have made in education and employment, with speakers: Michael Fix, Jeanne Batalova, Andrew P. Kelly, Raul Gonzalez, and Margie McHugh.
The number of U.S. residents deemed Limited English Proficient (LEP) has increased substantially in recent decades, consistent with the growth of the U.S. foreign-born population. This brief offers analysis on the number, share, growth, and linguistic diversity of LEP individuals in the United States from 1990 to 2010 at the national, state, and metropolitan-area levels.
The story of immigrant integration in the United States has historically been one of generational progress, with the gains for second-generation Hispanic women particularly impressive, as this report reveals. It profiles first- and second-generation young adults ages 16 to 26, examining this diverse population's education and career pathways.
This is the latest in NCIIP's language access webinar series exploring the policy and program implementation imperatives for government and community agencies serving Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations.
In this webinar, experts discuss barriers immigrant and LEP individuals face in accessing the WIA system, how a revitalized WIA could address these barriers, and the extent to which the current Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee's WIA reauthorization proposal addresses these barriers.
This edited volume rigorously assesses the 1996 U.S. welfare reform law, questions whether its immigrant provisions were ever really necessary, and examines its impact on legal immigrants' ability to integrate into American society.

Esquites (Mexican Corn Salad)
If you like Mexican corn on the cob, elote , then you are going to love esquites which is essentially elote but served in a bowl, only better! This year I have been enjoying using my cast iron skillet to 'roast' corn until the kernels char and caramelize which intensifies their sweetness making them even more irresistible! When I came across the idea of esquites where the corn is roasted in this way I immediately knew that it would be amazing! This salad has it all with the sweet caramelized corn, the salty cheese, the sour lime juice and the jalapeno heat and it is all held together with garlicky mayonnaise!
Update: If you like esquites, then you will love it with the addition of creamy avocado!
Esquites (Mexican Corn Salad)
A tasty Mexican street corn salad with an amazing blend of sweet corn, salty cheese, sour lime juice and a hint of spicy chili powder; pure summer in a bowl.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cups corn (about 4 ears), cut from the cob
- 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 glove garlic, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 handful cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juice
- 2 tablespoons cotija (or feta), crumbled
- chili powder to taste
- Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the corn, toss and let it sit cooking until charred, mix it up and let it char again, about 6-10 minutes.
- Add the jalapeno, saute for a minute and remove from heat.
- Mix everything and serve warm or at room temperature.
Option: Adding one diced avocado is so amazing!

About Snakes
We are all afraid of things that we can't always see, and especially things that might bite! To have a little knowledge of these creatures can remove some of the fear and replace it with respect. Many adults fear what they don't know and rather than make an effort to learn, would find more comfort in killing the "venomous thing."
Fortunately, rattlesnakes are born with a built in alarm system for us! That dry rattle we hear is a warning for us to stop, find the source, and move away. More often than not, rattlesnakes hear you coming and will move away long before you would ever know they were around. So don't panic.
Yep, they do bite. But many feel they are overrated. Twenty five percent of bites are dry, or have no venom. The apparatus that loads the venom usually does not have enough time when the snake is startled, just as you suddenly come upon it. The majority of bites that result in serious injury typically happen when the snake has been handled or is injured. People tend to "play with" the snake out of curiosity, and the results can be painful.
Another thing to remember is that, many times, the snake will simply miss. Other preventatives, such as thick clothing materials and leather boots can keep the venom from reaching its target. Also, rattlesnakes have a set of fangs below the orifice that dispenses venom, which makes it possible for one to bite, even drawing blood, without any venom interring the wound.
In the event of a rattlesnake bite, an immediate burning pain will spread up the arm or leg that is bitten and swelling will begin within a few minutes to a couple of hours. This depends on the individual. The affected area may remain swollen, stiff, and bruised for weeks.
Do not suck out the venom with your mouth or cut the wound to extract the poison. This and other inaccuracies (such as that rattlesnakes will chase you) are only things born out of old western movies. The best thing to do is elevate the bite if it is on a leg, or use a sling for an arm bite. Seek medical attention as soon as possible, but don't panic. Antivenin can be administered as much as 24 hours after a bite. Remember what the snake looked like to help identify the right antivenin. Call Emergency Poison Control: (602) 253-3334 or (800) 362-0101.
Be prepared to meet up with a rattlesnake when hiking in Arizona. But please, instead of carrying a weapon to obliterate it, just listen and watch, and avoid a confrontation. Simply walk the other way.

"gift for co workers"

Comments: Ordered 10 for our employees who have been in the company for 5 years. We wanted to give them something that they can keep at home, or at work. Had to go with this frame.

Why do we want to take mingo away.from what he does best?
Let the man put his hand in the dirt and rush the qb.
I hate the idea of drafting guys based on
atheletic ability and not production. Mingo had a chance to be the first pick in the draft yet his numbers were nothing special. That's a big honkin red flag.
John Simon from Ohio State will probably be a third round pick and I'll guarantee he will have more sacks than Mingo his rookie year.
Mingo is too much of a gamble for my taste and this franchise cannot afford to gamble.
I really like Damontre Moore, but I think it's unlikely that he falls to us at this point. The only reason I could see that would be if he performed poorly at the combine.
Maybe trading up would be worth it.
Also, its not just me saying Mingo is more situational than complete. thats how you trust your eyes.
We have to score big on these draft picks!

I need to replace the exhaust manifolds on my truck in the near future. Both have cracks. It is a chevy 454. I can't get the bolts that hold them onto the heads to break loose, any hints? These are bolts not studs. I've only tried when the engine was cold. No way to get penetrating oil in there.

Provided the bolts are not covered with oil, water actually will penetrate rust and provide some lubrication.
If it can get to the threads.To all who contribute to this board.

just heat them up with a torch.
Thanks for the replies. The bolts are probably 3 inches long & go through the exhaust manifold & then thread into the head. I don't want to break them off if I can help it. They are not seized in the exhaust manifold but in the head. Worst case I plan on cutting off the boltheads to remove the ex manifold & then maybe I can get some heat or penetrating oil on the threads. I was hoping there was a tried & true method for this application.MM250

ya be in bad fortune. Try tightning the bolt first. If that don't work then take the heads of the bolts off, remove the manifolds, heat the studs remaining, apply parafin or candle wax to the block around bolt stub, attach vise grips close and get it to giggle and work it out. Be patient.

I have a set of bolt extractors, they work better in tight places. You may still need heat though. They are made by craftsman, and about $50. I would cut the heads off remove the manifold then try the extractor, for more bite.2 -225 bobcats 1 Koehler 1 Onan

Start the engine and get it good and warm. Then try it. If you dont get anywhere apply penetrating oil as it cools.
The next thing I would try is applying a torch to the head near the bolt. Do this while the engine is cold. It doesnt take much heat to expand the opening while leaving the bolt cold.
Have you tried tapping the heads with hammer?
Taking the bolt heads off is a last resort.Who do you call when the lawmakers ignore the law?

I have had to deal with ALLOT of seized bolts. A few things to try. No hard fast rule or silver bullet but here goes.
Penetrating lube is worth its weight in gold, you will be surprised how much it wicks UP. use lots and give it some time
as it was mentioned, heat the bolt. This MAY break some of the corrosion free.
Heat the area AROUND the bolt and cool the bolt with liquid CO2 (find a can of electronic duster and turn it upside down
Impacts are your friend can you get one on any of the bolts (a wide range of impact wobble joints on the market might help)
Try to give it a hard sharp impact in the opposite direction you want it to move.
If all else fails...cut, beat,pry, Hot wrench the heads off.
good luck, and remember they are inanimate objects. Swearing at them wont help
I'd also go with cutting the heads off to leave something to grab onto when you let the penetrating oil do its thing.
If you opt to twist them off first, you're guaranteed to part the bolts at the shank where the last thread ends (first section of minor diameter reduced from major diameter = weakest point between force applied and resistance at the threads), or worse, at the face of the head where there's next to nothing left to grip or weld to.
Heat crushes the rust by expanding the bolt inside the hole. When the bolt cools, the male thread is no longer bonded to the female head. If you heat the bolt, but don't let it cool, you risk seizing the bolt via that expansion itself. So if you get out the rosebud, get em good and hot, then let them cool.
Penetrating oil works wonders, but you need to let it soak - several hours, and sometimes days. There's a lot of pressure holding the threads together, so just getting em a little wet isn't going to allow the oil to find its way between the mating surfaces that are fused together. If you're going to heat them, do it before the oil. There's no use in burning off the oil you just applied.
And lastly, use some freaking anti-seize when you put it back together.Syncrowave 250DX

27 July 2012
Posted in Science On A Sphere
The time has almost come for NASA's Curiosity rover to land on Mars – hopefully. The 254 day journey from Earth to Mars is expected to end on Monday, August 6 at 1:31 a.m. EST should it survive the risky entry, descent and landing (EDL) typical of this sort of mission.
The difficult landing has NASA calling it "Seven Minutes of Terror" during which time, hundreds of technical events have to work together with split-second timing.
When Curiosity enters the Red Planet's atmosphere, it will be traveling at 13,200 mph. Seven minutes later, it should be at rest on Mars' surface. To relate, it's like driving 65 mph down the highway and coming to a complete, controlled stop in 2.1 seconds. Not an easy feat!
[click the image below to see a larger view]
The spacecraft carrying Curiosity – the Mars Science Laboratory – will enter the Martian atmosphere, cooking its heat shield to 2,093 degrees Celsius (3,800 degrees Fahrenheit). It will then deploy a parachute. Subsequently, the spacecraft loses the heat shield and slows itself with small rocket engines.
At this point, the descent stage has begun. Next, the back shell with the parachute separates. Here, it is just one mile above the ground and descending at about 180 mph. Landing engines slow the descent to about 2 mph and will remain at this speed until touchdown.
With 66 feet to go until landing, the rover is released from the descent stage and is lowered by the sky crane bridle, which is like a tether. Curiosity's wheels deploy and the rover is prepared to land. With the rover on the ground, the sky crane section flies away, leaving Curiosity ready for the mission ahead.
If you want to experience the "Seven Minutes of Terror," own an Xbox 360 and the Kinect motion controller, you're in luck. NASA and Microsoft have partnered to create the Mars Rover Landing video game. Available for free download from Xbox LIVE, gamers can guide Curiosity through the EDL and get a feel for the intensity and precision required for the rover to safely land on Mars.
On Saturday, July 28, Charles "Chuck" Tatro, mission manager with the Launch Services Program at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, will discuss the upcoming landing. His presentation is at 3 p.m. at the Science On A Sphere station in Our Planet, Our Universe. He'll conduct a question-and-answer session following his talk.

Gallery: Stunning Zinc-Skinned Office Wins 2010 ZeroFootprint Award
ZeroFootprint holds an annual competition for renovated buildings that showcase the most successful, holistic retrofitting projects of the year. This year's eco retrofit winner was just announced and it's a historic, previously defunct building in down town San Francisco. 355 Eleventh, retrofitted by Aidlin Darling Design, now has a completely new perforated zinc exterior, increased energy efficiency, more natural daylight, and even a LEED Gold certificate to tack on its walls.
355 Eleventh was a previously derelict turn-of-the-century industrial building, which originally did have a metal skin. The retrofit included refurbishing the exterior and replacing it with a new corrugated and perforated zinc skin. This skin acts as a shade wall, letting air and light pass through and behind, decreasing the heat gain on the building. More natural daylight is let into the interior, but not enough for blinds to be needed.
New operable windows allow for cross ventilation through out the building. Inside, the renovated office building is light and airy, and utilizes reclaimed wood for the beams and ceilings. A 30kW solar array covers the upper roof area and harvests approximately 70% of the building's annual electricity use. The lower 'living' roof is designed to reduce heat-island effect, slow storm water run-off and provide enhanced insulation. Enough upgrades were made that the building achieved a LEED Gold certification. The building currently acts as the office of San Francisco's Matarozzi Pelsinger Builders.

Painting the outside is a brilliant idea. It should be done. It would lift the energy. Just looking a t a lot of dull sterile minimalist buildings is very depressing…note when one is where there is color and charm people feel peppy and it draws custom.

…and why would you want a warehouse to look like a warehouse just because it's a warehouse- shouldn't we invest money at zero return just to make it look like something it's not? Why miss another chance to deny that we have industry and commerce in our midst, driving our economy? Why succumb to that old form-follows-function trope?

So, how does it come to pass that REO Speedwagon comes to town to play a country music showcase?
Brad Paisley calls, that's how.
It turns out Paisley and Speedwagon lead singer Kevin Cronin met years ago at a charity concert in L.A.
"Yeah, Brad gave me a call a few weeks ago,and it's always been one of my bucket list items to hear a banjo solo on 'Riding the Storm Out,' so I figured this is my chance," said Cronin after the the Thursday show in Nashville.
Wow, we didn't see that one coming, but in a weird and charming way, it makes sense.
The show was part of the Country Radio Seminar, which brings in radio talent and program directors from all over the country. Sony Music Nashville, which has been hosting its showcase on the General Jackson for 27 years now, has a history of spicing its boat show up with surprise guests.
The pairing of Paisley and REO Speedwagon, though, served as a palpable reminder of just how much rock 'n' roll has deeply impacted contemporary country music.

Cancun's Culinary Makeover
I started to get worried when I saw the other passengers boarding my plane to Cancun. The late morning flight had been delayed and was now filling up with 20-somethings who had obviously chosen to wait it out with 2-for-1 cocktails at the airport bar. I was realizing that the week of relaxation I'd been anticipating might actually be spent fighting for a beach chair among the crowds of rowdy spring breakers.
Even the flight attendants looked concerned.
It's no secret that Cancun has a reputation. The combination of stunning beaches, budget-friendly resorts, and over-the-top nightlife has made it a magnet for college kids looking to cut loose.
But I soon learned that the options are also plentiful for those of us craving something a bit more luxurious.
Spring Break, Upgradeed
My home for the week was the Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach, an elegant and expansive all-suite resort and spa located on what is widely regarded as one of the best stretches of beach in Cancun. One of the few not all-inclusive resorts in the area, they pride themselves on attracting a somewhat more sophisticated crowd of young professionals and well-heeled European and Asian tourists in search of a different kind of Cancun experience.
"We don't accept spring breakers here," explained the hotel's general manager. The difference is evident at the pool and beach area, where the sound of crashing waves - not beer pong - is the dominant soundtrack. In a region where all-you-can-eat buffets and fishbowl-sized margaritas are a draw, the hotel stresses quality over quantity.
The suites are truly spectacular. I found myself giggling with glee upon being shown my room, an 860-square-foot master suite complete with Jacuzzi, sunken living room, and wrap-around terrace overlooking the gentle Bahia de Mujeres. Decorated elegantly in a mix of dark woods and cool white marble with bright turquoise accents, it seemed to blend seamlessly with the glittering white sands and blue waters of the beach below.
Details are everything, and the Fiesta Americana does them right. From baskets of raisin cookies and muffins at the spa, printed weather reports on my pillow each evening and complementary bottles of chilled water at the front desk, the thoughtful touches abound. On the first day, I discovered a platter of tiny treats on my dining table - crumbled gorgonzola floating in a shot glass filled with pear puree, figs topped with fresh passion fruit pulp, and a cube of watermelon filled with chilled crab salad. I assumed the array was a welcome snack but returned to my room each evening to find another new surprise to enjoy while preparing myself for dinner.
Cancun's Culinary Renaissance
Two of the Fiesta Americana's restaurants have been awarded AAA Diamonds - Le Basilic, offers a formal French dining experience, while the more casual La Joya serves traditional Mexican-inspired dishes to the sounds of a 10-member Mariachi band playing traditional ballads while classic black & white Mexican films are projected onto one of its towering walls.
While certainly solid choices for those who prefer not to leave the resort, I found that there were even more innovative options in the nearby area.
Molecular gastronomy fans will appreciate the dining experience at Le Chique at the Karisma Azul Sensatori Hotel in nearby Puerto Morelos. Chef Jonatán Gómez Luna - a Ferran Adria disciple who previously worked at Alinea in Chicago - presides over the trendy adults-only restaurant. While the boudoir-style décor feels a bit out of place (hot pink fringe table dividers hanging from the ceiling and black velvet upholstery), the menu is spot-on with playful dishes such as a crispy black croquette oozing with black truffle béchamel and a Pringles can filled with paper-thin homemade potato chips. The flavors were remarkable, but I found myself wishing there had been a bit more Mexican influence on the menu.
After the meal, I learned that most of the produce used at Le Chique and all eight Karisma properties in the region comes from their own organic hydroponic greenhouse, located at El Dorado Royale resort in Riviera Maya. The first in the region, the 100,000-square-foot greenhouse is open to guests for educational tours. During my visit, our group learned about the hotel's sustainable practices and was encouraged to pick and taste fresh basil, chiles, cucumbers and mint.
I found a bit of the Latin influence I craved in the dishes at Tempo, Chef Martín Berasategui's newest restaurant at the Paradisus Cancun Resort. The six Michelin star Spanish chef is widely regarded as one of the best in the world, and his partnership with international luxury hotel brand Meliá has turned the property into the only all-inclusive resort with a Michelin starred chef on the roster. The menu at Tempo features Basque and Mediterranean inspired dishes like Poached Tomatoes Stuffed with Baby Squid and Broken Potatoes Aioli.
Chef Berasategui, who joined us for a 7-course lunch at his restaurant, explained that while his dishes were Basque in origin, each was influenced and guided by the local Mexican produce and seafood. This was especially evident in my favorite course-a salad of fresh leaves atop a gelled avocado cream dotted with bits of local lobster, anchovy, and roasted red peppers.

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Today we have a chance to witness a special moment in history as Venus transits across the disk of the Sun for people across the world to see. Not only is this process of discovery exciting for natural science, but it has profound theological ramifications as well.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.

John Kerry has seen, up close, the worst of Hamid Karzai. In February 2008, Kerry traveled to Afghanistan along with two fellow senators, Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel, and was invited to dinner at the Afghan president's palace. The three Senate heavyweights were in no mood to be wined and dined. Hagel abruptly raised the subject of corruption in Karzai's government: the runaway graft, the narcotics connections. Responding in the smooth, aristocratic English that had so charmed the Bush administration officials who installed him in power in 2002, Karzai replied, "My dear senator, there is no corruption in my government." Things got testier from there. The American visitors insisted they had a list of corrupt officials and that Karzai's brother was at the top of it, but the Afghan leader disingenuously denied it all—until Biden, by the dessert course, had had enough. "This dinner is over," he said, throwing down his napkin and walking out. Hagel and Kerry followed.
Biden never really regained trust in Karzai, and by 2009, after he became Barack Obama's vice president, he turned into the new administration's No. 1 skeptic, contending that the real issue was Pakistan, not an unwinnable war in Afghanistan waged in partnership with an unreliable president.
But Kerry went in a very different direction—and, in his ambivalence, became a stand-in for fragile congressional support. A year and a half after that dinner, having taken over the Foreign Relations Committee from Biden, Kerry happened to be on one of his frequent trips to the region. Karzai, by then estranged from Obama's top emissaries and increasingly uncooperative—at one point the Afghan leader even threatened to join the Taliban—was refusing to admit he had won reelection fraudulently. Kerry went to the palace and, putting what one aide called the "big Kerry arm" around Karzai's shoulder, talked to him as one misunderstood politician to another. The senator from Massachusetts took the Afghan leader for a long stroll on the grounds and managed to do what no one else could: He persuaded Karzai to hold a runoff election.
"We had hours of personal conversations," Kerry recalled to National Journal recently. "He gave me a tour of the palace, we walked through the garden, and we talked about what we were trying to achieve and where we wanted to go. And I think we found some common ground." U.S special representative Richard Holbrooke, who was then at loggerheads with Karzai, recalled that Kerry "worked Karzai very effectively, talking to him very personally from the gut. John talked about his own acceptance of the [disputed] outcome in Ohio in 2004 in order to get Karzai to understand there was nothing wrong with getting a second round."
Asked about Karzai now, Kerry says that the Afghan leader is still salvageable as an ally—along with Afghanistan itself. Kerry snorts at questions about whether the Afghan president is insane, unstable, or drug-addicted—common accusations in Washington these days, especially since the recent WikiLeaks document dump revealed even harsher assessments of him than were previously known. "That's not in my equation of evaluation," the senator says with typical Kerry grandiloquence. "I find him very capable, very interesting.… Is he emotional? Yes. Does he sometimes let fly in a public way that may not advantage everybody's efforts? Yeah, I mean, he does. But I also understand the pressures.… I think President Karzai needs to be listened to carefully when he talks about his own country."
Privately, some aides say, Kerry is more skeptical. But he also knows that Karzai's dependability may well be the deciding factor in whether he, John Kerry—the defeated and much-derided 2004 presidential candidate who has recast himself as an American statesman—can keep supporting Obama's troop surge in Afghanistan.
There may not be a better litmus test of American sentiment on Afghanistan than Kerry. With his hair now gone mostly gray, and the famously long face looking ever more hangdog with the years, it's easy to forget that this is the same John Kerry who, as a dynamic young veteran honored with the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts, rocketed to political stardom 40 years ago in opposition to another misbegotten war.
With American forces regularly accused of killing innocents in Afghanistan, it's also easy to forget that this is the same Kerry who, on Meet the Press in 1971, effectively confessed to having been a war criminal in Vietnam. As he told then-moderator Lawrence Spivak: "I committed the same kinds of atrocities as thousands of others in that I shot in free-fire zones … joined in search-and-destroy missions, and burned villages."
Sens. Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel walked out of a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in 2008.
Kerry became a spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War and, in that role, delivered perhaps the most riveting testimony ever heard before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In April 1971, his voice quivering with a rare display of public emotion, the 27-year-old Navy lieutenant famously ridiculed the idea of "Vietnamization," the precursor for what we're now trying to do in Afghanistan. "Now we are told that the men who fought there must watch quietly while American lives are lost," he declared to loud applause in the committee chamber, "so that we can exercise the incredible arrogance of Vietnamizing the Vietnamese." Kerry, who had lost his best friend, Dick Pershing, in Vietnam, explained to the awestruck senators why the strategy—the whole damn war—was wrong. He ended by uttering the most famous question of his career: "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

DURHAM, N.C. -- Multiple sources indicated late Monday that former Duke standout and NBA veteran Mike Dunleavy has verbally committed to sign with the Chicago Bulls later this month. Dunleavy, a second team All-America in 2002 at Duke, is entering his 13th season in the league
ESPN.com first reported that Dunleavy narrowed his long list of suitors to five teams Monday and chose to take the Bulls' two-year offer worth $6 million. The deal can't be signed until after July 10, when the league's annual moratorium on signings and trades is lifted, but teams and players are allowed to enter into verbal agreements during the freeze.
Sources said Dunleavy also gave strong consideration to the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves after spending the past two seasons in Milwaukee.
Dunleavy averaged 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in almost 26 minutes for the Milwaukee Bucks last season. He also shot a career-best 42.8 percent from three-point range, tied for eighth-best in the NBA.
For his career, Dunleavy has averaged 11.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, while shooting 44.4 percent from the field, 37.2 percent from three-point range and 80.0 percent from the foul line.
Dunleavy will be playing for his fourth franchise after previously playing for the Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks.
Dunleavy joins former Duke players Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng on the Bulls roster. Chicago has a long history of Blue Devils on its roster from Tate Armstrong (1977-79), Gene Banks (1985-87), Elton Brand (1999-01), Boozer (2010-p), Deng (2004-p), Chris Duhon (2004-08), Jack Marin (1975-77), DeMarcus Nelson (2009) and Jason Williams (2002-03).
