So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
It is one thing to say that death is primordial; it is another to view it as the central means of creation. The theological uneasiness about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God's creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution.
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
If you go back into the Genesis account, it says "now do not eat this or you will surely die". There is a whole chain of events that happens when Adam and Eve decide they want to walk away from God.
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
I want to lay out some of the key myths and indicate how Coyne's discussion can help Christians get a more accurate understanding of evolution.
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.

En español | Echoes of the nation's greatest fight — the Civil War — still reverberate from coast to coast.
See also: Civil War Trivia Quiz
Some ring strong: of course the end of slavery, perhaps the worst disgrace in the nation's history. And the 620,000 ancestors lost. Other vestiges have weakened with the passage of time but are no less legacies of the four horrific, heroic years that shaped us as one nation.
Here are eight ways the Civil War indelibly changed us and how we live:
1. We have ambulances and hospitals.
The Civil War began during medieval medicine's last gasp and ended at the dawn of modern medicine. Each side entered the war with puny squads of physicians trained by textbook, if at all. Four years later, legions of field-tested doctors, well-versed in anatomy, anesthesia and surgical practice, were poised to make great medical leaps.
The nation's first ambulance corps, organized to rush wounded soldiers to battlefront hospitals and using wagons developed and deployed for that purpose, was created during the Civil War. The idea was to collect wounded soldiers from the field, take them to a dressing station and then transport them to the field hospital.
Doctors laid out the hospitals as camps divided into well-defined wards for specific activities such as surgery and convalescence. Women flocked to serve these hospitals as nurses.
Before the war, most people received health care at home. After the war, hospitals adapted from the battlefront model cropped up all over the country. The ambulance and nurses' corps became fixtures, with the Civil War's most famous nurse, Clara Barton, going on to establish the American Red Cross. Today's modern hospital is a direct descendant of these first medical centers.

Fairfax County Public Schools is breaking with the tradition of naming middle schools for famous authors and poets, and has instead opted for a more regional feel.
The School Board voted April 26 during a regular meeting to name a new middle school in the southern part of the county �South County Middle School.�
The school system allows communities to vote on potential names, which are forwarded as recommendations to the Fairfax County School Board for a final vote.
South County Middle School will open in September and help relieve crowding at South County Secondary School, which serves middle and high school students.
�I have to admit I never would have explored the work of Joyce Kilmer had I never attended Kilmer Middle School [in Vienna],� said School Board member Ryan McElveen (At-large). �I strongly support this tradition which inspires our students to explore literature that they otherwise probably would never see. I hope in the future our community will embrace this approach to school naming. But for tonight, I guess, we are all South County.�
Among the proposed names for the middle school were Nike, Dr. Seuss and some local heroes and historical figures.
�More than 60 percent of the people who voted in that survey expressed a commitment to call that new middle school South County Middle School,� said School Board member Dan Storck (Mount Vernon District). �That vote was after a community meeting where we had strong support, in fact the largest amount of support, for the name �Harold J. Wilson.��
Wilson was a Poet Laureate of Lorton who died in 2002, but has a Facebook page dedicated to community efforts to get a school named after him. South County Secondary School opened in 2005 and crowding became a concern almost immediately, Storck said.
Groundbreaking for construction began March 20, 2010, at the middle school site.
Although naming the school after a region of the county breaks with tradition, it offers the community a benefit of identity.
�This has become the identity of the community,� said School Board member Elizabeth Schultz (Springfield District). �As a Robinson [Secondary School] parent � I have a seventh-grade Ram, who turns into an eighth-grade Ram who turns into a ninth- through 12th-grade Ram. There�s absolutely nothing wrong with that. So I hope you all enjoy it and get all your orders in for all your spirit gear.�

This conversation is closed.
Schools need to update their text books for higher, up to date, education.
Schools tend to keep a set of textbooks for up to a decade. That just doesn't seem right. Especially in science, chemistry or social studies classes. Plus, if something happens to the book while your in possession of it during the school year, the school, at least in my case, charges you full price for the book when it was already in poor condition from previous use.
Closing Statement from Kevin Jacobson
Basically, The educational system needs to change for better education around the world.
Jun 16 2012: Kevin, I just finished your 30 year question nice to be with you again. Text books are BIG business into billions of dollars a year. My major problem is that text book designers are dictating what a teacher teaches. The reason is that the test designers review the texts to see what should be tested. Ergo the text developers are driving education. If you review the PISA exams (where the US bombed out) you would find the Singapore system (who blew the rest of the countries out of the water) encourages learning not the accumulation of knowledge in 8 domains .. Lang and Lit, math, natural science, social science, Technology, arts, Phys ed, practicum. Teachers develop their courses and the goal is application.
I support that each student should be issued a lap top. Using flipped classrooms the students, using lap tops only connected to the school computer, would do their homework in advance to the class and the teacher would review the paper and provide review, assistance, and mastery during the class time. Student who "get it" would move on to future lessons as the course map provides for. (Do the math .. computer cost VS text book costs @ seven books per student)
Do you really need a text book for math. The teacher can write the lesson plan for adding, subtracting, etc ... in this way they can teach beyond the test not to the test.
Kevin as a 13 year old who excells you should be offered the opportunity to advance at your rate of learning but yet remain with your peers to develop socially.
So I am saying that text books may be part of the problem not the solution. This would take great care in changing paths but is "doable".
I am interested in your reply as a student who is living the problem. How can I refine this approach?
All the best. Bob.
Jun 16 2012: ...And I just finished your behemoth response:). I agree with you 120%. I think text books should be replaced with computers. But not laptops as you stated, I think they should be replaced with something like a touchscreen i pad type device were it has it's own recharge station on the desk. I also thing instead in switching classes every hour or so, the school should have a small stadium where students have a single desk were they keep there keep the few school items that they would need. Different teachers would come in every hour to explain certain subjects and give examples. Almost everything would be done online instead of in a textbook.the students would get 3 breaks throughout the day. Teachers, instead of teaching from a book, would teach from their mind so that everything flows more evenly. If a student doesn't quite get it, they can go online and read about the topic. Learning would be easier and better. Phy. ED would be focused on a little more so students get a required amount of exercise. Don't even get me started on the greasy mush that the school calls lunch. I also think discipline is somewhat of a problem as well. Teachers at my school literally goof off and get sidetracked. I really irritates me. I don't want to tell the principle since he hates me now for calling him worthless. Ironically, many if my teachers have sign on their desk that reads "True teachers teach from their heart, not from the pages of a book". If only that were true.
Jun 17 2012: While I definitely agree on textbooks being an outdated concept, I'm not entirely on board with the idea of tablets (or laptops) -> being online, replacing books as a method of gathering knowledge. Textbooks aren't very useful, I agree, they list facts -> you rehearse them -> you reproduce them.
Thats a very linear way of learning, which is bad.
However, online, a lot of good and proper information is hard to find, so if you don't change the -> absorb -> rehearse -> reproduce way of teaching and learning, you will only get a worse educational system.
Teach kids in a Library, where you have selected various books and reading material by scholars related to the subjects you teach. Give them assignments on that subject, and have them present their assignments to the other students. If you want you can give students a preliminary assignment to find relevant literature online and in the provided books.
This changes the learning process. The kids will have to find their facts, eliminate irrelevant facts, and then actually work *with* the facts to create theories, which means that even the same assignment can net 5 different results. Then presenting (the most important human skill since the Greek Democracy) would give them feedback, which encourages a creative and ever changing learning environment.
Also I think philosophy should become a baseline subject for all students, I think it is the subject that has the largest potential in teaching kids about the world we live in, while encouraging a critical attitude to subject (which no other subject does, encouraging a critical attitude), because in philosophy, there is no consensus, which makes it an ideal subject for creative thinking.
Jun 17 2012: I think there would be a school website with trustworthy information for the students. Its not like they would be using wikipedia.Jun 17 2012: No, I'm not implying that students would use wikipedia (my university has a database with academic articles and books, online). But I want to stress that reading books Is still very important. And for some subjects there is a lot of essential information that is not easily accessible trough the internet, because the books have not been put online, due to them being old or very specific.
Jun 17 2012: I was just using Wikipedia as an example. If your university has a database, then you shouldn't have to worry about having less info than a book.Jun 17 2012: Actually, that is the mistake a lot of people make. While my university has a database, a very useful and large one at that. All the papers I've written so far, required me to spend hours in the city library looking through stacks of old books and papers by scholars. Sometimes the information you need is not where you want it to be. All the knowledge of this world is in the books, it's not on the internet, because not enough effort has been put in putting all the information on the web yet.
For the future it would be great, but we still have a lot of innovation and effort to put into getting "the web" ready for educational purposes.
Jun 17 2012: I wish I would have known that.

Jun 27 2012: That might be old thinking. Why upgrade textbooks which will surely be out of touch next week. Why not show them TED talks and stay perfectly current? It can maximize class time if they watch as homework and then you can get comments or feedback or bring them here to make postings.

Jun 28 2012: I never thought of that. Great idea.
Jun 28 2012: It would absolutely thrill me if it were good enough to be plugged in and I hope you will find it so....it is now yours.Jun 29 2012: Hi Debra,
I think your idea of showing them all TED talks is good, but I think it should be as a complement of the education. We must not loose the importance of a book, even if it is digital.
Here in Mexico, and I think in many other countries, we have a problem, people don't like to reed, they just want to know, but not make the effort of reading.
Personally, I found reading the most revealing experience, why?, because it help us develop our imagination. I can give you an example of that, in the case of history, is not the same that a child can imagine who the World War I or II develop, than watching a film, because in the film he is watching the imagination of someone else, and he doesn't get the opportunity to imagine by himself.
It is true that our society receives updated information almost by every day, and that we must find a solution, but I don't think the answer for that will be the elimination of the text book.
Beside the text book, we have forgotten the importance of the teacher. The teacher in the classroom is the person in charge of the children education, if the teacher is not updated with the information just released, it doesn't matter how many changes a book may have, it will be worthless. That's why I think the change in this should start with our teachers.Jun 18 2012: As someone who is in a biochemistry PhD program, I can say that at least for chemistry, the fundamental principles have not changed too much. How we apply these principles does change though. Supplementary materials might familiarize students with some of the latest discoveries in the field, journal or magazine articles might be helpful.
For biology it is a completely different story though, in biology you do need up to date textbooks because new experiments are constantly revealing things which force us to change how we think about living organisms.Jun 18 2012: I have just completed a highschool physics text in the form of an e-book, as where I work all students are issued with lap-tops. It is pretty much set out like a traditional text but with hyperlinks to related websites and simulations etc. The idea is it functions like a text but can be updated from year to year with minimal expense. It also provides direction for self motivated web browsing. If you don't want to use a laptop you can print a hard copy and it still functions as a traditional text. In the near term I think this is a good compromise. It also solves the damaged text book problem as it comes on a $5 thumb drive.

Jun 15 2012: Many subjects as they are taught at the middle school level do not change so quickly that new textbooks need to be purchased every five years. In addition textbooks are expensive. In a moderate sized school district, bringing in a new high school textbook series can cost, say $2 million.
- +1
As school districts have limited budgets, putting double the resources into books probably would require a significant cut-back in the number of teachers and a significant increase in class sizes. Is it worth the minor changes between one edition and the next?
And this doesn't even include the cost of reviewing textnbooks to make new decisions as to which to use.
Jun 16 2012: You wouldn't be buying new textbooks every five years for every subject, you would be buying new textbooks every five years for the subjects that are still receiving new information not taught in are schools many outdated textbooks. For example, social studies and science classes are subjects that receive new information all the time.Jun 15 2012: I think textbooks are an outdated concept. With the vast amount of knowledge available from anywhere at any time (smartphones, tablets, the internet), teaching should be more than pushing facts into students heads. Right now, discussion and forming opinions is way more important than if you memorized what the second mineral layer of the earth is.
Education should change from 'memorizing' knowledge of other to learning how to work with theories, how to interpret facts (a often neglected skill), and how you form your own opinion and knowledge. Research should become more important. Independence and discussion! Why would you spend your valuable time memorizing something you have access to at any time right now?Jun 29 2012: Ideal: Use new textbooks, TED Talks, tech concept of abstract thinking, practical applications in math and science and every subject, just new ways to learn it.
Jun 19 2012: I had a girlfriend who went here: http://www.exeter.edu/. She later went on to Yale and Harvard, but said that she got her real education there. They are already doing what you describe. Many private schools offer scholarships and the costs aren't as ridiculous as people think they are.Jun 18 2012: I know from being in education department that its not material that changes but also teaching methods change. Our children are growing up in a new age of Technology and information. With just the changes in teaching methods materials change to adapt to this.Jun 16 2012: It is good for books to be updated. But not like the demands of a trend-spotting audience of a fashion magazine. Updating textbooks, especially in middle school or primary and secondary schools, can not be too frequent.

The fact that a book has a more recent edition does not make that book worthless. That is why the world is still interested in writings like the Timbuktu manuscripts and the dead sea scrolls.
The basic principles of science that has not changed. And human nature remains human nature.Jun 16 2012: In a middle sized school district it cost $2.7 million a couple of years ago to replace four years of math books (grades 9-12). This was the cost for one subject across four grades. At my son's middle school, 7th grade social studies was US History until 1900 and 8th grade was Ancient History. Current events were covered as well on a weekly basis using newspaper and online sources. While new information is unearthed and expressed about these subjects all the time, there is no reason these additions cannot be added in from sources other than the basic textbook at much lower cost to the school district - as well as to the environment.Jun 15 2012: in addition to that, they teach lies.Jun 15 2012: I respectfully disagree with you on this. If textbooks taught everything we wouldn't need teachers. Every semester I buy books brand new because the 18.104.22.168 edition is out of date so I must get the 220.127.116.11 text. Both books are usually exactly the same except for the cover and a few minor changes.
I agree that some topics need to be updated frequently for accuracy but history, science, and English are basically cut and dry. You sound like your coming from a High School perspective because you say your school keeps books for decades. In college this is not the case by any means.
Jun 15 2012: How would we not need teachers. It's not like a kid is just going to sit down and read the textbook on their own. Plus, teachers are needed to give assignments and tests to see how much the students knowledge on the subject is growing. I am talking about this from a middle school perspective. There is no reason the school can't upgrade their text books AT LEAST every five years. Even classes that don't receive modern knowledge anymore still need new text books since they get in wretched condition.

Update on April 2, 2010: This video has been removed from our site on at least a temporary basis. For a full explanation, click here.
In this video conversation Bruce Waltke discusses the danger the Church will face if it does not engage with the world around it, in particular with the issue of evolution, which many evangelicals still reject.
Waltke cautions, "if the data is overwhelmingly in favor of evolution, to deny that reality will make us a cult…some odd group that is not really interacting with the world. And rightly so, because we are not using our gifts and trusting God's Providence that brought us to this point of our awareness."
We are at a unique moment in history where "everything is coming together," says Waltke, and conversations—like those initiated by BioLogos—are positive developments. "I see this as part of the growth of the church," he says. "We are much more mature by this dialogue that we are having. This is how we come to the unity of the faith—by wrestling with these issues."
Waltke points out that to deny scientific reality would be to deny the truth of God in the world. For us as Christians, this would serve as our spiritual death because we would not be loving God with all of our minds. It would also be our spiritual death in witness to the world because we would not be seen as credible.
While Christians may still disagree with one another on some issues, Waltke emphasizes that it is important that we are really interacting in a serious way—and trusting God as truth. Testing these things but holding fast to that which is good will bring greater understanding and unity among Christians.
If we don't do that, Waltke cautions, we are going to die. If we refuse to engage with the greater cultural/scientific dialogue, we may end up marginalized and that would be a great tragedy for the Church.

Frayed tips on shoe laces is about as annoying as things can get. Forcing the little ends of the shoe lace through those tiny holes can sometimes feel hopeless when everything is coming apart and bunching up. I've found a pretty effective and simple fix that takes a few a minutes and costs just a couple dollars.
Step 1: Gather materials
Regardless of price, sometimes it's hard to find adequate replacements.
Did your Digg article mention "philtrum"?
Note: if you use paracord, you can dispense with the shrinkwrap, paracord fuses on it's own when subjected to high heat. It won't look as good, however, so I would do both.

It has gotten to a point where it's no longer funny. Rex is a pathetic buffoon and I feel for some Jets fans. I know how disappointed I would be if our coach was this disrespectful to himself and his wife.
If you told me that at the start of the season that the Jets would implode and struggle I'd of said, OK that's not news.
Now if you'd have told me that at seasons end we would have seen 1) Sanchez ass fumble 2) Sanchez benched for the 3rd string QB 3) Fireman Ed resign 4) Sparano **** canned 5) Tannenbaum **** canned 6) Ryan hold his nose and threaten to resign and 7) Rayn tattooed with his wife's likeness with a Sanchez jersey, I would have said no way all those magical things happen in one season.
I'll give Kinky Inky some credit, when he goes down, he goes down in a way that makes the Hindenburg look like a balloon popping.

Comments On Mar 28, 2012:Nothing too exciting to write. They are what they are and function as advertised. If you're looking for a smaller, clean looking spool these are pretty nice. If I was going to do it all over again I'd get the composite, bigger ones that look more like sliders. Definitely would help prevent damage in a lowside situation but these definitely do the trick.

recently purchased the 32 inch LED outdoor TV from
Global Outdoor Concepts for our back yard Pavilion.
The picture is great, and we couldn't be happier,
thank you for the advise! The TV really finishes off
the area, it's our family's newest favorite space,
at least for the summer. We were very impressed with
the Customer Service and follow up, thanks for
everything." --Pat and Jill from Ohio
live in Chicago and Purchased my
Mirage Outdoor Television last March. This was the best investment I ever made. This TV has been out in the
elements all summer, even though the TV is in a screen room the rain in Chicago falls sideways and soaks the TV. My family enjoys sitting out side in the
summer and Fall to watch moves and sports, the quality is great. The Mirage people are great and very
helpful, they keep in touch even after you purchase the TV to make sure their are no problems, I have never had a
sales person contact me after a purchase before. These guys believe in the product and so do I. Best TV and Company
on the market!!!! I have recommended them to Family and I will continue to recommend them to anyone
interested in an out door TV. You can't go wrong with Mirage Thank you
--Joe Lenart
--Joe Lenart
truely love my television. Some
pictures are attached. They do not do
the televsion justice.
I had been searching for an outdoor HDTV for several months to go on my new back porch.
I was a little sceptical when I found this television on the internet. It was far
less expensive than others I found. How could it be so much less? After I
learned how Global Outdoor Concepts treated the television to be suitable for use
outside, I decided to give them a chance. I could not be happier with my 47" LCD HDTV.
The picture quality is superior to the 46" LCD HDTV I have in my living room. It
is so nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors while watching football, basketball, golf or
a movie in HD. When we have company, they inevitably end up in front of the TV
outside. I live in Orlando which is hot and humid. The television worked
flawlessly on the hottest summer days and the dust cover keeps it clean when not in use.
--Donald Sellers, Orlando, FL
We are very satisfied with our 47"
MirageVision outdoor television. The picture quality is awesome and it's big
enough to enjoy from our outdoor bar, hot tub, or even from the pool. We enjoyed
it all summer and are now watching the football games by the outdoor firepit as the
temperature drops here in the northeast. After extensive research we feel we got a
quality product at an affordable price."

No, I'm writing about the character in your novel. You know. The handsome, internationally famous athlete that's been accused of doping. Yeah, that one. Blance Strarmstrong.
Let's learn something about doping in athletics, for the sake of your protagonist, Blance.
Doping, or using "performance-enhancing drugs," is a broad term that encompasses any drug used to artificially improve physical performance. This sentence in itself is very controversial and has been picked apart and rewritten countless times. Is Tylenol after a hard workout considered cheating? No. But the lines can get kind of fuzzy here.
In competition, the athletes with the biggest, fastest, strongest bodies--the ones with the most endurance and are immune to the pain of injuries and training--win. The drugs in doping can help a competitor achieve this.
1. Anabolic steroids. These drugs, most often ending in an -one and -iol (testosterone, androstenediol, for example), build lean muscle mass and reduce fat. Bye bye potbelly, hello biceps! Not only do they masculinize the users (including women--who'll drop their voices and start growing hair in unfeminine places) they can also make you aggressive, depressed, shrink your testicles, and cause acne and liver damage. Fun times!
2. Peptide hormones and growth factors.
- erythropoetin-like agent (such as EPO, or Epogen) stimulate the bone marrow to grow more red blood cells. Red cells carry oxygen to your body. The more you have, the more oxygen you can deliver to your exercising body. The real Lance Armstrong is dealing with this one.
- insulin. Apparently it's used along with steroids to boost energy storage in muscles and continue the anabolic effect of steroids.
- growth factors (growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor, etc) also used to increase muscle mass.
- hormones like corticotropin, leutinizing hormone, also used to add mass and optimize muscle growth
4. Hormone modulators. These are things like aromatase inhibitors (commonly used to treat breast cancer or osteoporosis). This one had me scratching my head. Apparently, when using anabolic steroids, the balance between natural estrogens and androgens (female and male hormones--both of which are found naturally in men and women) goes off kilter. Men using steroids can sometimes paradoxically grow breasts (called gynecomastia) because of this imbalance. Using anti-estrogens like aromatase inhibitors can prevent a bodybuilder from needing to buy a bra at Victoria's Secret. Secret indeed!
5. Diuretics and masking substance. Diuretics, such as thiazides, are meds that make you pee like a racehorse, which may help you pass your urine drug test. Other substances, like dextran, albumin, and mannitol, can mask the actual illegal chemicals.
6. Blood enhancers. This includes blood transfusions (your own banked blood, or someone else's) an chemicals that help your blood carry more oxygen, like perflurochemicals or blood substitutes.
7. Gene doping. Yes! This is not sci-fi, this is real! You are not allowed to have genetically modified cells injected into yourself, nor are you allowed to sprinkle DNA on your morning Wheaties.
8. Stimulants. Caffeine? Okay! Sudafed (pseudoephedrine)? Only in tiny amounts. Crystal meth? NO! Adrenaline? NO WAY! Get the picture, speed junky?
9. Narcotics. I know that work out hurt, but no, you cannot call the Morphine Fairy Godmother and make it all go away.
10. Cannabis, or pot. Or weed. This has no performance enhancing anything. It just makes professional athletes look bad and associates them with that stoner dude from Dazed and Confused. "Catcha later, dude!"
11. Glucocorticoids. These are super powerful anti-inflammatory meds, also helpful in recovering from that tough work out. No prednisone for you!
So what now for our poor character, Blance? Will he continue to use doping drugs to be the best trampolinist at the Olympics? Will his quest to shave off a few cup sizes from his steroid-grown breasts be the end of him? Stay tuned!
For more info, check out the comprehensive list by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The CBC gives a nice description of how and why these substances are used.
And the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency also has a nice overview.

Title: the revenge of the SHOE GOBLIN - part 13
Date: September 15, 2006
Summary: The Shoe Goblin's Earth shoeing doesn't work!
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Shoe Goblin, Earth
Onomatopoeias used: "GOBLIN RAGE!", "JING"
Number of panels: 7
Panel 1
The Shoe Goblin laughs maniacally, waiting for the shoe to launch.
Shoe Goblin: "HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE!"
Panel 2
Nothing happens.
Shoe Goblin: "HEE HEE ... HEH ... HMM"
Panel 3
Shoe Goblin: "It - It be jammed! But I built this entire space station to exactly fit and deliver a size 6 billion shoe. Ten long years o' work spent getting it exactly right - How can it possibly be jammed?"
Steve: "Oh wait - Did you want a U.S size 6 billion or a European size 6 billion...?"
Panel 4
The Shoe Goblin is emanating GOBLIN RAGE whilst his hat JING JINGs.
Shoe Goblin: "WHAT? I... A THOUSAND CURSES UPON YE, AND YER INCONSISTENT FOOTWEAR SIZING SYSTEMS!"
Beaver: "Well, um, I think we'd better be going now..."
Steve: "I told you you should have tried it on first..."
Panel 5
Beaver: "What a relief to have everything turn out alright for a change, eh Steve?..."
Voice from off screen: "Psst!"
Panel 6
Beaver: (off screen) "It's certainly nice not to have any unexpected plot twist to deal with! Ho Ho!"
Voice: "Hey steve! Over here!"
Beaver: "Now let's go home and have some tea!"
Panel 7
Steve looks at the source of the voice, which is a talking button on a platform just like the shoe button was.
There's a sign on the wall:
and one on the platform as well:
The button: "Hi there Steve..."
The button: "Want to try something really fun..?"
[To be contd.]
Fun Facts
- The Shoe Goblin refers to the shoe size 6 billion and a half without mentioning the half.
- It appears that, ten years ago, the Shoe Goblin already knew that Steve would use the computer with unwashed hands and therefore he would have conjunctivitis and want revenge.
- Shoe size measurements vary in different countries.

Ana's encouraging run in Carlsbad continued as she defeated fourth seed Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-7(1), 6-2 to reach the last four of the Southern California Open.
The result was a marked contrast to the last meeting between the pair, almost a year ago, when world No.11 Vinci triumphed 6-0. 6-0.
With vengeance perhaps in mind, Ana raced into a 5-0 lead in the blink of an eye. She wrapped up the opening set in just 25 minutes.
Such was Ana's dominance off the ground, she prospered despite producing a first serve percentage of only 42. She did not face a single break point in the opening set, dropping just five points on serve.
Things quickly changed in the second set, with Vinci holding and scoring an immediate break, due largely to Ana serving three double faults. The Italian had a break point for a 4-0 lead that Ana saved. The 25-year-old then hauled herself back into the set, breaking back and eventually losing it on a tiebreak, 7-1.
The match followed a similar pattern to Ana's encounter with another Italian, world No.6 Sara Errani, in Miami earlier this year. On that occasion Ana comfortably won the first set, only to narrowly lose the second (Ana led 6-1, 4-4 in both matches). Whereas in Florida Ana faltered in the third set, today she showed her improved fitness levels by more than matching Vinci.
Ana missed a break point in the fourth game but could not be denied two games later: she broke to lead 4-2 and added another break as the 30-year-old served to stay in the match.
Ana's reward is a semi-final meeting on Saturday with world No.3 Victoria Azarenka. The two-time Australian Open winner beat world No.39 Ursula Radwanska 6-1. 6-2 in the quarter-finals.
The match is scheduled to take place at 2pm local time on Saturday (11pm Central European Time; 5pm Eastern Time). Click here for live point-by-point scoring from La Costa Resort & Spa.

Screw the jets and anything related to them.
Screw the jets and anything related to them.
I live up here in NewEngland, so I will ALWAYS root against these damn, ALWAYS winning, ALWAYS successful, ALWAYS having the ball bounce there way, ALWAYS getting the refs calls, and ALWAYS driving me nuts, Patriots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God I hate them and everyone around me that likes them, which is pretty much everyone
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
you guys have to root for NE, you are acthing the Pats andif the Jets win we'll be right back in the thick of the WC race and I would feel really confident about the playoffs if we win as our schedule softens down the stretch.
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------
Ari at home

Pats are winning the division and the jets aren't making the playoffs.
jets have no chance. But I would never cheer for either of them.
Just beat those Stinking JETS
Have you notice that Cheatriots are the one that screw us more often lately? I know the rivalry we have with NY, but I can't see NE screwing up every body, humiliating everyone on that almost perfect season (sweet ending by the way), they stole Walker, they are the dirties team in the league, I will root for any team against them.

Moyers & CompanySeries Website »
Episode Guide »
Bill Moyers returns on-air and online in January 2012 with MOYERS & COMPANY, a weekly hour of compelling and vital conversation about life and the state of American democracy, featuring some of the best thinkers of our time. A range of scholars, artists, activists, scientists, philosophers and newsmakers bring context, insight and meaning to important topics. The series occasionally includes Moyers' own timely and penetrating essays on society and government. In a multimedia marketplace saturated with shallow sound bites and partisan name-calling, MOYERS & COMPANY digs deeper. As the Los Angeles Times put it in 2010, "No one on television has centralized the discussion of ideas as much as Moyers... He not only gives a forum to unusual thinkers, he is truly interested in what they have to say and who they are because he believes their ideas really matter. "

This is a brand new course that has dual tees, has potential with mix of long and short holes with good elevation changes ,and some ace runs,roller holes , tough course in the wind .i give this B- now will definitley move up to A in the future.Get out and play this fun course Less than 30 minutes east of Toronto and 5 min from 401, 221 Church St. South, just north of Bailey Ajax /Ontario with the purchase of a $5 snack bar voucher and if you want golf cart $15 all day :) boost this to a B+ now
+0 votes Dustin Fournier › April 12, 2012
There are some great holes on this course - holes 12, 16 and 18 are signature. There are some serious design issues surrounding holes 8-9-10 and 13-14-15 - for safety, you cannot tee on any of these holes if there are players on the other holes.
+0 votes Mike Masters › August 31, 2012
Liked this course quite abit. The people there could not have been friendlier. Some really long holes including 1,16 and 18. Couple ridiculously short holes and one hole I can't understand. Hole 9 might be one of the worst disc golf holes I've ever played. Overall though -- hopefully more people will try this course out. I'll be back.

Gay Beach Getaways
Download Now
Everyone needs some R&R. Summer is right around the corner and brings with it the perfect time for LGBT travelers on both coasts to leave the stress and strain of the city behind and hit the beach, pitch a tent or watch the whales. Whether for a week, a weekend or just a day, here are some wonderful gay-friendly cities that spring to life during the summer months and that welcome gay and lesbian tourists. These spots will offer you a chance to play, party or just relax.
East Coast
If you're looking at the East Coast, welcoming beach resorts are as plentiful in any direction. Those near New York City can trek to the gay oasis of Fire Island off the coast of Long Island, or hop a train to Asbury Park, New Jersey. Those from farther down the Mid-Atlantic area can get their kicks at the Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Up north, there's no place that compares to Cape Cod's gay jewel, Provincetown. So grab your beach towel and make a reservation for some hot, gay fun in the sun!
For New York's gay men and lesbians, summer means one thing: It's time to pack up your swim trunks and flip-flops and jump on the Long Island Railroad to Fire Island. This predominantly gay-populated island is accessible via ferries that traditionally take women to Cherry Grove, and men to Fire Island Pines, although both towns are equally welcoming.
Whether you pay thousands of dollars for a summer share or just head down for a day of gay fun in the sun, you won't be disappointed. Fire Island is a Mecca for gay revelers, featuring unspoiled wildlife like the ubiquitous deer that battle gay men for their place in the dunes.
A common sight in Fire Island is weekenders rolling their belongings down the boardwalk to their share houses in little red wagons. The island has no paved roads and allows no passenger cars, adding to its rustic charm.
Despite the tragic fire in the Pines' harbor, which burned down the main disco, the Pavilion, and the bar the Sip 'n' Twirl, the Ice Palace and Grove Hotel in Cherry Grove both opened on April 27 with a full schedule of events, including the Miss Fire Island contest. Other summer highlights include the annual Fourth of July "Invasion of the Pines," when drag queens take the ferry in full makeup to reenact the 1976 banning of drag queens from a local restaurant.
If you decide to stay and don't have a summer share (which, ironically, renters are usually forbidden to "share" with visitors), book a room early at the Grove Hotel. Economy rooms range anywhere from $40 to 400 daily, with higher prices during summer weekends. According to operations manager Wendy Lewis, the 50-year-old hotel offers about 65 rooms, the largest pool on the entire island, and many other amenities, including day pool passes and bag checks.
"We have free entertainment just about every night in the summer, a huge disco, a Tiki bar, the Island Breeze restaurant that offers discounts for guests, and a store, pizza place, and ice cream shop on the property," said Lewis. "We attract a mixed clientele, and although many summer weekends are already sold out, during the week, we almost always have rooms. People also take advantage of day passes to the pool and showers, and we hold their bags while they go out at night."
There is also the Botel in the Pines. And then there is the Belvedere, a men-only rococo mansion that sprawls along Great South Bay in Cherry Grove. The rooms vary according to size, but staying there is an unforgettable experience.
When it comes to gay summer getaways, nothing quite trumps the reinvigorating freedom imparted by an idyllic sojourn to beautiful Provincetown, Massachusetts. Feel all of your cares slip away with the tide from the moment you board Bay State Cruise Company's Fast Ferry for the 90-minute trip from Boston to Ptown.
Make your reservations early at one of the island's historic B&B's, or stay at the famed hotel, Crown & Anchor, which features daily pool parties, a beautiful view of Fisherman's Wharf, and nightly entertainment. This summer the entertainment includes Dina Martina, Illusions Drag Revue, Kate Clinton, Jessica Kirson, and more.
Once you settle in, take a stroll down the main drag, Commercial Street, for a little sightseeing. Check out the picturesque fishing boats in the harbor, and discover the secret treasures at the Whydah Pirate Museum, located just past the whale-watching fleet on Macmillan Pier. Nature lovers (and lesbians) will want to snag tickets for the three-hour cruise over to Stellwagen Bank, a natural feeding ground for the humpback and right whales that populate the area. You're virtually guaranteed to see a wide array of whales, dolphins, and seals.
Meander with the gay and tourist crowds while browsing the area's numerous boutiques and fine art galleries. Peruse a wide range of hits from gay and local authors at indie bookstore Now Voyager, just across the street from the newly remodeled public library.
Be sure to stop for a beer and a game of pool at Governor Bradford Inn, and head across the street to the famed Lobster Pot for a classic seafood dinner. Or go a bit upscale and head to the East End of town for dinner at The Mews or the Waterford Inn and Café. The new owner, Al, takes great pride in his upscale menu, which will particularly appeal to foodies. From the lavender/maple salad dressing to the steak ala Oscar, expertly grilled and topped with lump crabmeat, the chef displays his obvious flair for flavor pairings.
Other local hotspots include the A House and the ladies bar, Vixen. No matter where you spend your evening, count on meeting up with other revelers for a late-night slice at Spiritus Pizza, the town's unofficial after-hours spot. Soak up the extra booze and hit the sack, letting the soft slap of the incoming tide lull you to sleep.
For those living in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, or Baltimore, summer demands a weekend trek to Delaware's Rehoboth Beach. Past years have seen an increase in New York visitors, who gladly suffer the three-hour drive in exchange for a more low-key, unspoiled, welcoming destination.
Summertime finds this tiny seaside town split between gay and lesbian beachcombers and friendly families. All share the beach amicably, although gay men tend to sun in Poodle Beach, while lesbians make their camp (literally) in Cape Henlopen's nature reserves.
Rehoboth Beach offers a wide range of accommodations, with more than 40 charming "painted lady" B&B's, large beachfront hotels like The Sirocco, ramshackle low-budget inland motels, and major hotel chains.
It is possible to make the trek from New York entirely via public transportation (a bus to Atlantic City, the ferry from Cape May, and a jitney to the beach), but this route can try your patience. And while you don't need a car to get around town, visitors who want to indulge in the water parks, putt-putt golf, or outlet shopping on the Coastal Highway will need wheels.
Although the bulk of your day should rightly be spent sunning on the beaches, Rehoboth Beach offers a traditional boardwalk experience, complete with carnival rides, games, old-time photo shops, salt-water taffy, soft-serve, and waffle fry stands.
Come sunset, everyone heads to the local watering hole, the Frogg Pond, to compare tans and throw back a few beers, often to the acoustic sounds of a lesbian with a guitar. Karaoke lovers favor the Purple Parrot, and gay men head to the Aqua Grill for "fiery fairy wings" and cosmos.
After you've tied one on, grab dinner at one of the local eateries, including Cloud 9, Iguana Grill, The Cultured Pearl, or Blue Moon. Don't expect gourmet fare, and you won't be disappointed; the food here is not pretentious, mostly limited to fresh seafood and Tex-Mex.
The summer schedule offers some highlights, including an impressive Fourth of July fireworks display on the beach, with a band playing on the newly constructed bandstand. Later that evening, gay men congregate at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center for the annual Love Ball, now in its 18th year. Tickets available at camprehoboth.com.
This New Jersey seaside town is famed for being the early stomping grounds of The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, but in the past 10 years, gay gentrification has turned it into an LGBT getaway conveniently located less than two hours from the Big Apple. Lesbian surfers can be seen all summer long, lined up for the break.
Guests can stay at the upscale Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, the Asbury Ocean Beach Inn, or smaller digs like Karen's B&B or Mikell's Big House. Once you get settled, head over to the 5th Avenue Beach, just south of the Convention Hall, where gays congregate to sun and play volleyball. If you're feeling adventurous, Gunnison Beach in Sandy Hook, about a 20-minute drive away, offers a clothing optional environment.
The "City by the Sea" celebrates its 21st Gay Pride this year, held on the first Sunday of June, with three days of events culminating in a Pride parade up from City Hall that wends its way to the Pride festival in Bradley Park. On July 20, Sand Blast Weekend offers parties all weekend, including a bar night, volleyball tournament, huge cocktail dance party at the Convention Hall, beach yoga, brunch, art crawls, tea dances, the Siren of the Sea Women's Pool Party and the big Sand Blast Beach Party.
While there is always the famed Stone Pony (where The Boss was discovered) for live music, gay and lesbian visitors flock to Paradise, Swell, or Georgie's Bar for drinks and lively conversation. Paradise, at the Empress hotel, is known for its hot '80s bar and Tiki Bar, and Georgie's is known as the Queer Cheers of Asbury Park.
Antique lovers can stroll down Cookman Avenue to check out the wares, or stop into the Silverball Pinball Museum. The beach offers the usual array of mini golf, walking tours, and spas; drive one town over to Deal and Allenhurst for a tour of the grand mansions. Whether you're interested in getting a tan or shopping for antiques, there's something for everyone at gay Asbury Park!

Ted Ligety produced a master class to win the second Men's Giant Slalom of the season in Beaver Creek. Bode Miller produced an outstanding race to place second from a start of 31 and take his first podium in Giant Slalom since March 2007, his 76th in all. Marcel Hirscher could only shrug his shoulders at the performance of the two HEAD World Cup Rebels as they destroyed the rest of the field. Mathieu Faivre produced a career best performance to date to take fourth.
This win by Ligety, fastest on both runs, means he has won the last four Giant Slaloms on the World Cup, the first man to do that in twenty two years! After the race Ligety reflected: "I feel like I skied well the whole way done considering the conditions are tough out there; it's pretty bouncy. I was able to arch the places I needed to arch. I was a bit surprised by the time difference because with the snow conditions right now it's not a feel-good course."
Miller was in outstanding form and gave the crowd plenty to watch as he fought tooth and nail on the second run, on more than one occasion it looked like he would succumb to the onslaught from others but when he crossed the line at the bottom, not only was he ahead, he had extended his advantage! "My confidence had never been my issue but now I also have the fitness to back it up. I can go full speed right from the start and don't have to worry," Miller explained.
For Mathieu Faivre, improving from eighth after the first run to post fourth best at the end of the race, this was a career best to date performance for him.
This was the 19th time that Ligety has stood on the top step in a Giant Slalom World Cup race, third in the list of all time winners. Ligety leads the Giant Slalom standings with Miller fourth, Faivre fifth and Svindal sixth.
Svindal and Ligety are now one and two in the Overall.
The HEAD World Cup Rebels now head back to Europe to compete in Val d'Isere next week.
1. Ted Ligety (USA) HEAD
2. Bode Miller (USA) HEAD
3. Marcel Hirscher (AUT)
4. Mathieu Faivre (FRA) HEAD
11. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD
13. Cyprien Richard (FRA) HEAD
17. Kjetil Jansrud (NOR) HEAD

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
i can't seem to get my putt down.any tips on hold & release to help my game
Views: 202
Wow that's a tuffy due to a ton of info needed and given. Have you check out discgolfreview.com ? They have excellent articles and video. Also check out Discraft on you tube (Mark Ellis). I know this sounds like a cop out, but there are so many ways to putt and there is no wrong way in doing it. It just comes down to finding what works for you and then practice, practice, practice.
Follow through!
I'm not a great putter but sometimes when there are big putts to make I make them ........ for me it seems to be just trusting the putter you're using and making sure it gets out of your hand without hinderance .... in the summer when it's hot and humid it helps for me to dust up before putting ... meaning grab some dry dirt and powder the hand ... get rid of the moisture ... then when you putt make sure you release the disc cleanly .... open your hand like a flower opening up and set it sailing to the chains, no drag and no hooking on any finger ... right to the tub ... a clean on track getaway.
Pandora's box will open for you on this one.Rescue's advice is good,watch the vids.Myself,I have my rf along the outside wing of disc.There again it will depend on what putter or mid I'm using.Mark Ellis and his infamous putting vid/info is good.you alone will be the deciding factor.practice,practice is/has always been one of the best advice thrown out by everyone.hit chains.
Watch this vid: http://vimeo.com/19847946 might help
i would say,dont copy anybody else style or obcess over advice.just let the body figure out its own form.get a basket and figure it out.
As to finger placement, whatever is comfortable and gives you a consistent and clean release.
Ok, if the issue is your getting the disc to high in the air or lobbing it. I would suggest getting your upper body in front of you feet. This would make it harder to throw high as it would feel unnatural. other suggestion would be angle of thumb, your putter is going to fly at the same angle as your thumb. So by changing the angle of your release so that you thumb is points slightly downward, the disc will be released with a nose down effect and will want to get out of the air quickly.
some like to pinch the putter between there thumb and pointer finger, some like to wrap their pointer finger under the rim of their putter, some like to have their pointer finger be the last point of release on the outside (the side) of there putter... try em all. the key is... consistency and sense of control

Honestly until Tannehill starts steeping up more he will be questioned. I think the kid has a bright future, I don't agree with having any cause or concern yet. Luck had to succeed and succeed right now, not next year or the year after but right now. He was placed in the most insurmountable of positions in Indy, a team replacing a hall of fame QB by trading him away for Luck. The highest of hopes of any QB coming out of college and a chip on his shoulder when the Heisman Trophy went to RGIII because he posted a 27 for 31 347 yard 2 td 1 Int performance in a loss to Oklahoma State. Luck was the best QB in that class coming out of college no doubt about it.
Tannehill has shown he can read a defense with the best of them, he can adjust a play and he can see the coverages. Either a QB gets it or he doesn't these silly Henne comparisons are just that silly, Henne had no idea what the hell defense lined up across from him half the time and the result of that was checkdown Charley. Is Ryan Tannehill close to Andrew Luck right now, nope not even close. Will he be, not sure but I do know we haven't seen the kids potential peak yet and I do know that this team is not loaded with talent.
If the season ended right now and there was no more games to play and Miami finished 4-12 three quarters of you would be claiming prediction ESP since Miami had zero expectations coming into this season. Last I check we were a win over a 3 and 6 team away from climbing back to 5-5. Let's see what the kid and new coach have in them, are they the real leaders we all make them out to be or is this team going to fold up like a bunch of little school girls running from a junkyard dog.
I for one am excited to see what they have in them, the whole damn team, Long, Bush, Tannehill, Hartline, Philbin, the D.....everyone. It will just make it easier to define the amount of new blood the team will need to be infused with come the off season because make no bones about it this roster wasn't going to walk into the playoffs like the great teams in the league. They would have had to fight and claw for every inch of it if they made it, and the win loss coulomb and box scores reflect that. When they claw and fight and take care of business they are in every game but when they let off and play unmotivated they look like a steaming heaping pile of dog ****.
This season will server to clear the unmotivated pretenders out of the house one way or another.
"Frank's Redhot - I Put That **** On Everything!" ~ Ethel
Ryan Tannehill is proving to be the player that the experts thought he was. He was definitely outplayed by Locker last weekend, I don't think that's remotely debatable.
But we're in it now, and since we're not a playoff caliber team, we have to ride it out and hope he can at least be an average QB that we can build around. I think he can be AT LEAST as good as Flacco, if not better. Flacco, with help from a great running game in most weeks and good defense for most of his career is certainly a QB that can win playoff games. Let's be honest, the Ravens were an easy dropped TD from being in the Superbowl last year.
Tanny won't win you games like Drew Brees, we just have to hope he doesn't lose games like Vinny Testaverde.
And probably the only rookie qb to come in and not have a true #1 wr and absolutly no weapons except for bush but they dont use him out of the backfield.....I would love to see all the other rookies throught the years play with this offense on top of all that we dont have a running game so thats never good for a rookie. Wait til he gets some weapons or one weapon he can rely on.....This was an outstanding pick by Mia!
Boys and girls, we took a first round QB for the first time in years. At times he's looked good, at times he's looked bad.
Can't we at least get behind the guy and give him a chance before everybody decides he's garbage. Geez, 3 weeks ago he was the best thing on earth, now he can't play ?
Get some perspective FFS.
What the hell happened to Henne again? I remember he played pretty good and one day out of nowhere he starting sucking and never recovered..wtf?

The Farm Bill - H.R. 6124 Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 - became law in June 2008. Section 10202 directs the USDA Secretary of Agriculture to establish the "National Clean Plant Network" (NCPN), a program under which a partnership of clean plant centers is organized for diagnostic and pathogen elimination services to produce clean propagative plant material and maintain blocks of pathogen-tested plant materials in sites located throughout the United States. Clean plant material may then be made available to States for certified clean plant programs and to private nurseries and producers. In carrying out the NCPN, USDA shall consult with State departments of agriculture, land grant universities, and non land grant colleges of agriculture. Additionally, to the extent practicable, and with appropriate State and industry input, NCPN shall use existing Federal or State facilities to serve as clean plant centers. The program was reauthorized under the Agriculture Act of 2014 (commonly called the Farm Bill of 2014). Section 10007 of the Farm Bill of 2014 combined the National Clean Plant Network (NCPN), formally Section 10202, with the Plant Pest and Disease Management and Disaster Prevention program, formally Section 10201, and provided additional funding for these two programs. The Farm Bill made the NCPN a permanent program with dedicated funding.
NCPN - A Brief Program History
At its core, the NCPN is a collaborative effort among three USDA agencies; the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) for quarantine and regulatory programs, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) for technology and germplasm issues, and the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) for outreach and partnership initiatives. The network is administered nationally by an 8 member NCPN Governing Board (NCPN-GB).
As a concept, however, the NCPN began in November 2006 when a steering committee, with representatives from the nursery industry, the grower community, the National Plant Board (NPB) and other state regulatory agencies, the land-grant university system, and USDA was formed to review existing "clean plant programs", prioritize a list of specialty crops for funding, and propose an NCPN implementation process.
A national workshop sponsored by APHIS at Riverdale, Maryland in May 2007 was held to implement the NCPN and introduce the concept to a broader stakeholder base. This workshop developed the NCPN mission and vision statements and initiated drafting an NCPN strategic plan.
Basic to the NCPN concept are stakeholder driven, specialty crop focused, clean plant governing bodies composed of interested state, university, association, and industry partners. In 2007-2010 stakeholders representing fruit trees (pome and stone fruits), grapes, berries (strawberries, blueberries/cranberries, and cane fruit), citrus, and hops worked to form NCPN recognized governing bodies entrusted with prioritizing, harmonizing, and networking clean plant activities for their specialty crop groups under the NCPN banner.
The NCPN held general meetings in Washington, DC in March 2009, Davis, CA in May 2010, Riverdale, MD in November 2011. Highlights of these meetings included clean plant program progress reports, an introduction of a draft NCPN business plan, the installation of the NCPN Governing Board, discussions on NCPN Farm Bill program funding strategies, talks on clean plant center long-term sustainability, and a review and assessment of the programs direction and accomplishments as compared against its Strategic Plan.and the establishment of a comprehensive NCPN education, extension, and outreach program. At the 2009 meeting, the NCPN Federal partners signed a Memorandum of Understanding, setting the programs cornerstone.
NCPN Mission
The NCPN provides high quality asexually propagated plant material free of targeted plant pathogens and pests that cause economic loss to protect the environment and ensure the global competitiveness of specialty crop producers.
NCPN Vision
The NCPN's regional centers of excellence are recognized leaders in the introduction of the highest quality, regionally adapted, true-to-type propagative plant materials that are free of targeted plant pathogens and pests, thus promoting a vigorous commercial environment and the opportunity for international trade while protecting the environment of North America. Translational research, education and extension initiatives are fully funded to maintain the network's high quality collections and strengthen its services. Industry, research and regulatory communities collaborate to ensure an abundant supply of healthy specialty crops. The economic, environmental and social sustainability of specialty crop industries and the improved economies of the communities that depend on these industries are the ultimate impacts of the NCPN's robust service delivery.
NCPN Program Strategies
The draft NCPN business plan outlines five strategies and associated goals that are central to NCPN program implementation and ultimately to project funding:

NCPN Cooperative Agreements Program
The National Clean Plant Network FY 2015 Cooperative Agreements Program is open to receive applications for funding consideration beginning on October 9, 2014. The NCPN Request for Applications (RFA) shall remain open to receive applications until December 19, 2014. The deadline for submitting proposals for FY 2015 is 11:59 pm 'USA western time'. It is suggested that applicants interested in applying for consideration do so through Grants.gov. A direct link to the NCPN RFA on Grants.gov is provided below at 'Direct link to Grants.gov NCPN Cooperative Agreements Program Announcement.'
IMPORTANT SUGGESTION: If an applicant runs into submission problems using Grants.gov or as a backup or an alternative application process (also permitted by the NCPN RFA) you may want to consider also submitting a back-up copy of your full application packet as a scanned or other formatted submission to us directly at NCPN. Your may do this by several means:
1. By attachment to an e-mail sent to:
email@example.com and copy to firstname.lastname@example.com
2. By Express Mail or regular mail to the address mentioned here:
Mr. Erich S. Rudyj, Coordinator – National Clean Plant Network (NCPN)

National Clean Plant Network
4700 River Road, Room 5C.03.41
Riverdale, MD 20737
Phone: (301) 851-2277
Fax: (301) 734-5269
In both ' back-up' cases above, the e-mail submission or other mail submissions must be 'postmarked' not later than December 19, 2014 at 11:59 pm 'USA western time'.
In FY 2009, NCPN initiated its Cooperative Agreement program by supporting 5 clean plant centers covering fruit trees and grapes. Then program was expanded in FY 2010 to cover a greater number of clean plant centers serving the clean plant needs of specialty crops and expanding the program to also include citrus berries and hops. The program repeated again in FY 2011 and 2012. Due to the lack of a Farm Bill in FY 2013, the program was unable to offer funding support through an FY 2013 Cooperative Agreements program. The program was, however, reauthorized under the Agriculture Act of 2014 (also known as the Farm Bill 2014) and re-issued its NCPN FY 2014 Cooperative Agreement Request for Applications (RFA) as well as for FY 2015.
