The Creation Museum demonstrates that the ministry of Answers of Genesis is not first and foremost about Genesis—it's about Answers.
Sometimes when I am studying evolution, I take a step back and worship my Lord because I am so in awe.
A college student raised as a young-earth creationist shares his story of coming to understand and appreciate God's evolving creation.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
Bethel was where I learned that the science that I loved could be a Christian calling. Before that I had a vague notion that truly serving God meant being a pastor or missionary. Here I learned that in every profession you can love God with heart and soul and mind and strength, studying God's world with your mind and caring for it with your hands.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Most Christian students have a lot of questions about evolution and the other controversies, but are afraid to ask them for fear of the adults gasping in horror. The right way for a Christian teacher to proceed is to accommodate questions, foster inquiry, and encourage students to think and engage with the issues.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?

Crawlspace Conundrum
Q. I have a problem with the crawlspace in my home. When the air conditioning is running, I can smell the crawlspace. Is there a good way to keep the crawlspace from smelling? I know I need to seal the ductwork.How do you air seal the floor deck between the living space and the crawlspace? How and where do you install the exhaust fan to depressurize the crawlspace? Is the fan actually blowing into the crawlspace or into the house? Don't you need cross ventilation? If the fan is blowing into the crawlspace, don't you need another vent somewhere to let the air out of it?
A. Generally, I don't believe that sealing the floor deck is a top priority, especially if the crawlspace is to be partially conditioned. In any event, typical sealing techniques are using caulk and backer rod for small to medium-size gaps and openings, expanding foam for larger openings, and sheet metal or plywood for the largest openings. These openings include electrical, heating/cooling, and plumbing penetrations; joints in the framing and flooring; and so on. Usually it's easier to access and seal from the crawlspace, but for some gaps it's easier from upstairs.
The air leaks that I'm most concerned about are those in ducts in the crawlspace and those between the crawlspace and outdoors. Duct leaks can create large pressure imbalances that may draw in pollutants from the soil and circulate crawlspace air to the upstairs. Outdoor air that leaks into the crawlspace can carry with it lots of moisture, and this can lead to mold growth.
Crawlspace air should be exhausted to the outdoors and not into the house. A small, continuously operating exhaust fan, installed to vent crawlspace air to the outdoors, works well. This fan often slightly depressurizes the crawlspace and pulls conditioned air from the upstairs—now you see why I don't emphasize sealing the floor deck, and why sealing the crawlspace from the outside is important. This results in the crawlspace being warmer and drier.
Because your crawlspace smells, I suspect there is a moisture and microbial problem. By eliminating the moisture, you'll probably control the odor. The exhaust fan should help by removing moisture from the space, and by increasing the ventilation with drier upstairs air. You may need to install a poly barrier over the soil floor if moisture migration from the soil is an issue. Be sure to check for plumbing leaks, bad drainage, and poor grading as other causes of moisture problems.

Bucs Beat Winthrop Eagles in Thriller, 4-3
Sunday, February 08, 2004ROCK HILL, S.C. (Feb. 8, 2004) - The East Tennessee State men's tennis team beat the Winthrop Eagles in a 4-3 decision on Saturday. ETSU started the match winning the doubles point with victories from the pairing of Moises Serrano (Bucaramanga, Columbia) and Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina) as well as from the team of Felix Insaurralde (Asunci�n, Paraguay) and Fernando Fiuri (Villa Maria, Argentina). Seniors Alejandro Salazar (Arequipa, Peru) and Iglesias along with freshman Insaurralde provided the singles wins for the Bucs. Iglesias' win over Adam Narczewski was the deciding factor in the match. The two battled 5-7, 6-0 sending it to a third set tiebreaker. In the tiebreaker, Iglesias was down five match points but was able to come back to win 9-7. "Diego really demonstrated in the match why he is a co-captain along with Alejandro," commented head coach Yaser Zaatini. "They both helped to lead the team to victory." "Overall, it was an exciting match and our guys presented a good performance," stated Zaatini. "The team stuck together. They played great doubles and were able to win three singles points. While we still have areas to improve upon, I'm very satisfied with how they fought." ETSU 4, Winthrop 3 Singles 1. Clayton Almeida (Winthrop) def. Oscar Posada (ETSU) 6-4, 7-6 2.

Women's tennis earns third straight A-Sun regular season title
Sunday, April 03, 2011
ETSU wins fifth A-Sun regular season title since joining the league in 2005-06
MACON, Ga. (April 2, 2011) - After defeating Kennesaw State yesterday to earn at least a share of the A-Sun title, the ETSU women's tennis team defeated Mercer, 6-1, Saturday afternoon to clinch the A-Sun regular season title outright. The Bucs have now won three straight A-Sun regular season titles and five since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06.
"It is just extremely satisfying to win an A-Sun regular season championship," said ETSU Director of Tennis Yaser Zaatini. "Obviously all of this would not be possible without the work of coach Travis Sandlant and coach Tara Byrne. They have taken ownership of this program and they have really worked together to make it what it is."
With the victory, the Bucs move to 12-6 overall and 9-1 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile, Mercer falls to 4-13 overall and 1-8 in conference play.
"Overall the performance today against Mercer, even though we were victorious, wasn't what my expectations are for this team," added Zaatini. "Obviously a victory is a victory, yet you want to carry momentum and continue what we are building on. I don't think we played extremely well today, yet the girls managed to pull it off but I can assure you that teams are going to hunt us down if we start slacking off and not playing our best tennis. Our best tennis is barely enough when we play it so we need to get it together if we want a good showing in the tournament."
The Bucs made a statement early after cruising through doubles play as they won all three matches to take the 1-0 lead.
ETSU stayed in control in singles play as well after senior Tara Sheets (Gate City, Va.) earned a quick 6-1, 6-3 win over Sarah Hanna at the No. 6 position. Just moments later, the Bucs went up 3-0 after Marine Wieliczko (Rouen, France) defeated Aurelie de Montjou, 6-3, 6-2, at the No. 3 position.
The Bucs wrapped up the match and the conference title at the No. 2 position as junior Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) knocked off Amalia Bugge, 6-4, 6-0.
ETSU also got wins from the No. 5 and No. 1 positions on the afternoon. Freshman Giulia Andreazza (Balneario Camboriu, Brazil) defeated Amanda Bertani, 6-0, 6-4, at the No. 5 spot, while senior Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa) got past Jennifer Lada, 6-4, 6-2.
"It has been a great effort so far for the ladies," said ETSU Assistant Coach Travis Sandlant. "They have worked hard and adapted to longer and tougher practices. To come away with the regular conference championship is well deserved by all the players. Every player has played a part in the victory this year. We know as a team that only half the job is done and we must perform and be hungry to win in a couple of weeks at the conference tournament."
With its win Saturday, ETSU locked up the top seed in the upcoming A-Sun Tournament later this month.
The Bucs will close out the regular season at home against UNC Asheville on Wednesday afternoon. First serve will begin at 2 p.m.

For more information about the Nanotechnology for Clean Energy IGERT, please contact Dr. Johanna Bernstein, firstname.lastname@example.com or 732-445-1557.
Dissertation research for Nanotechnology for Clean Energy IGERT trainees fall into three categories, or integrative reserach thrusts (IRTs):
IRT 1: Nanomaterials Synthesis and Characterization:
Energy research at Rutgers and Princeton includes high surface area electrodes in super capacitors, fuel cells, charge generation, and transport media in next-generation, affordable photovoltaics, and lithium intercalation and electrochemical conversion compounds in high-power batteries. Understanding the formation of nanomaterials (through in-situ diagnostics) in various synthesis methods is a starting point for optimization of large-scale production required for clean energy solutions. Parallel computational studies usingin ab-initio and molecular dynamics will help develop a fundamental understanding of growth.
- Low temperature, large-scale synthesis and processing of nanomaterials for energy applications
- Electrochemically induced formation of heterogeneous nanocomposites for energy storage
- Nanoscale characterization and simulation of materials properties
IRT 2: Discrete Device Design and Performance Optimization
Novel device configurations such as those based on organic platforms that facilitate flexible and inexpensive devices are being investigated including self-assembly methods. Consider for example, a method for fabricating batteries in which the cathode, electrolyte and anode are co-deposited onto a substrate and, upon application of voltage, assembled into a working device capable of storing and supplying power. Using nanomaterials creatively, and solution processing for energy applications, allows for fabrication of novel devices without costly lithographic methods.
- Photovoltaic devices based on highly ordered organic crystals
- Photovoltaic devices from inorganic/organic hybrids
- Low-cost, solution-processed graphene-based transparent conducting electrodes for solar cells
- Higher energy-density energy storage devices via oxyfluoride nanocomposites
- Electrochemically self-assembled micro batteries (ESAMS)
- High surface area electrode for supercapacitors and fuel cells
IRT 3: Integration of Energy Generation and Storage Devices
To achieve true energy independence, energy generation and storage devices so that power can be supplied on an as-needed basis. The challenges of integration are considerable where uncertainties in individual device performance and couplling losses make optimal operation of the final system a major challenge. Each discrete device must be suitably optimized; process incompatibilites of the various technologies must be overcome; efficient integrated systems must be designed. A crucial advantage of the integration is that very high efficiencies in generation devices may not be necessary because energy is continuously being stored as it is generated. Energy not being used is not wasted. As a result, energy security to individuals and local communities is achieved through elimination of reliance on the power grid. Therefore, a significant portion of our efforts are on developing effective designs for device integration.
- Integrated power devices as inverters for solar cells
- Integration of energy generation, conversion and storage devices
- Power management in energy systems

What actions can we take to return power and attention to our congress?
We live in a unitary state. An article published by NPR on three realistic alternatives to a single president fully illustrates that. I am extensively irritated that congress wasn't the natural response to the growing problem that the American people look to the president to affect change. As I recall, early congressmen decided to name the head of state "president" as the position was intended to merely preside over the going-ons of our nation's politics. Somehow (possibly inevitably) the president has become a modern-day king, responsible for almost everything our congress once was. So, my question now is: how do we return our attention to congress? How do we re-invest power in the legislative branch of the government?
Grace Greene
Feb 19 2013: The legislative branch doesn't want the power that is constitutionally designated to them. That's why they continually cede more and more power to the other two branches.
- +1
Unless and until the American people decide to educate THEMSELVES about the REAL American history and the meaning and INTENT of the Constitution, it will continue until the whole thing collapses (which is not so far away).
I was stunned to tears when I began educating myself. It was an unintentional investigation. I was at the library and I walked past a series of huge volumes called "The Encyclopedia of the American Constitution". As I am not a Christian, and my religion does not enjoy government legitimacy or the right to practice its sacraments, I wondered if it would tell me where my religious freedom went. That's when I took a volume to the table and began reading, with tears streaming. And THAT's when I started searching for original documents that would show me what happened and how this country went so far astray from its core founding principles. Only then could I begin to see how we can fix all that is broken - if only Americans knew what their government is supposed to look like AND WHY.
Americans have been LIED TO about their own history. So now we have 2 parties who appear - on the surface - to b enemies, but in truth, they are great allies. They are each committed to denying the legitimacy of the Constitution, only supporting those parts that they favor, while favoring destroying the parts that they don't like. This keeps Americans outraged, which increases voter turnout, and increases the problem.
When you hear legislators talk about "The constitution", they are not talking about the WRITTEN "Constitution of the United States of America". They are talking about the unwritten constitution that replaced it during a coup d'etat by the Federalists and SOTUS in 1819. (Mc Culloch v. Maryland).
The solution lies is us, even though we didn't institute the problem.
Feb 19 2013: I am glad we are on the same page. I would add that parties are a natural formation that occurs in a plethora of governmenting bodies. I always like to default to what Washington urged in his farewell address.
So what I am looking for are real steps we can take to strengthen congress' power. I am not sure I agree with your assertion that it actively rejects that power. The people that make up our state and national congress are just as varying in their desires and intentions as their abounding constituents. But, that aside, it is undeniable that congress doesn't have that power, for whatever the reason.Mar 4 2013: Never vote for anyone who makes more money than you do and never vote for anyone who has won two or more elections.
Mar 4 2013: That is as true today as it was when I first heard it during the Truman/Dewey Campaign.Feb 20 2013: More to the point. What actions can we take to return power to the people who are supposedly represented by the congress.
Feb 26 2013: Although this is a matter of semantics, I agree with you. Now, what are those actions?Feb 19 2013: People like visible figures. They like to blame people, or worship people. A president is a figurehead/scapegoat, and not too much more than that, really. However, your average citizen doesn't really realize this, it seems like. Education, personal responsibility, and civic duty are the keys here. Basically, your problem is in the people's hearts. You can't change someone's mind, only they can change their minds. Grassroots campaign, anyone?
Feb 20 2013: Oh I'm sure of it. Now what basic steps can we take to make congress far more visible and symbolic?
This is a work by Walter Lippman that definitely relates.Feb 19 2013: To see if we are all on the same page here, is this an accurate description of U.S. Federal power distribution:
The CONGRESS: Make, or repeal, national/federal laws in accordance with the expressed wishes of The People.
The SCOTUS: Confirm, as necessary, a law is, or is not, in accordance with the COTUS.
The POTUS: Implement and enforce all standing national/federal law?
Feb 20 2013: Generally, yes.
Feb 20 2013: All rightey then. Your post asks what can be done to return POWER to Congress.
The implication is that power has been lost by Congress. I am ready to refute that, but I don't want to waste my keystrokes or your time (I am retired) if that is not your meaning.
Feb 26 2013: I believe it has. The executive branch has taken on the responsibility of making laws. I'm sorry if the specific wording of my question betrays myself. I can be quite poor at wording my questions.
I would like congress to regain that responsibility in the voters' eyes. I believe the majority of voters look to the executive branch - including (or especially) the president - to perform the functions of congress, making congress redundant.Feb 26 2013: Please do not interpret my remarks as being critical of your composition. I want to be sure I don't comment based on misunderstanding the question. We agree on everything but the words "power" and "responsibility". Those belong to Congress and always have. Without a Constitutional amendment that cannot change. What has evolved is the wrongful application of constitutional powers. Congress has all the power it needs to do its rightful job. They are simply not using it ethically and responsibly. Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 1 through 18 give our elected Representatives and Senators their vested powers, both specific and elastic, and their precise job description. What we need is not more power for Congress, but proper exercise of the power they already have. As with every national problem we have in the USA, the root cause is apathy and ignorance on the part of the People. Thanks for your awareness-raising post. Restoring proper operation of our government is certainly an idea worth sharing.Feb 19 2013: True, there are plenty of executive orders, and it smacks of monarchy, but the money is still appropriated in congress. I happen to think it's an intentional device designed purposely to keep us from watching the goings on where the real power is, and it isn't really even congress. The power lies in the big money donors. If we're watching the president, and fighting among ourselves over ambiguous information (spin) we're not watching them. This is all part of a smoke and mirrors vaudeville act that allows our employees to work mostly in secret. Secrecy is not the cause of corruption, but is it's primary instrument. Ultimately the solution resides in the citizenry. We have to remove the secrecy. Regardless of party we have to tell candidates, including the president, that their employment will only be considered if you agree to the following conditions:
You are not an employee of the party. You will work under the guidelines of a job description written by the electorate.
Laws are written for the benefit society, and must be understood by that society. Legislation you write and introduce will be written in plain language and easily understood by the average of the population.
Legislation will be introduced in the form of one bill, one issue, with no riders. If an issue can't stand on it's own merit it will not be hidden in or attached to another bill.
You will be subject to the laws you vote to enact. You will not introduce or vote in the affirmative for legislation that excludes any elected employee from its influence.
You will maintain a website that chronicles your activity. Each bill will be posted along with how you voted, and an opinion piece explaining why you voted as you did, as well as acknowledgment that you read and understood the bill. This will offer context and verifiable reference during your tenure and for each election cycle. After a reasonable viewing period this will be archived for easy viewing indefinitely.
Secrecy's the problem
Feb 19 2013: I am immediately unnerved by your resolute assumption that the government is one coherent body. The government is less "cogs within cogs" as it is a weathered, old table, re-varnished multiple times, adapted to fold like a modern card table, with two of its wobbly legs propped up on a book and a few deck of cards. Sure, there are people in politics who want to make big money. But there are far more people who are in politics because it is a day-in-day-out job that gives good benefits and retirement. Then there are the people who get into politics because they offer something constructive. In the end, I think we are all far more impressed by the mystery surrounding such big money, the shadow of it being far more intimidating than the actual thing.
I also think your fast and hard rules sound great, but are completely unrealistic. So many things bank upon the margins of another issue. Don't get me wrong: I'd love it if bills could be limited by word or page count. As for the scrutiny, I'm right along with you there. However, our "cockroach model" media already watches and pressures politics in a way citizens don't naturally have the time for.
That said, I definitely agree with the idea that the presidency should be hired rather than elected.
In the end, I'm looking for something we can start doing tomorrow. The less we have to institute or change, the better. I'd like to work with that metaphorical table without adding yet another thing to it.
Feb 20 2013: Let's work backwards through your comments. You'd like not to have to do add or anything. Me too, but if we do nothing, nothing changes, except the slow almost undetectable evolution that is taking place now. I happen not to prefer what I see happening, and so suggest a change. The change I'm suggesting requires that our employees do something, ie be accountable in a more transparent way.
We all know that hard and fast rules will not always apply, they never do. What they do do is provide a common and understandable starting point. The requirement to write an explanation offers both the employee and us to understand why things are the way they are. I certainly did not suggest bills be written by word or page count, rather by issue count.
The media. The media as you say has a cockroach mentality and is in fact all over our politicians. That fact by itself says absolutely nothing about what they're reporting. I contend that most of the media are editorializing, and not simply reporting. If that's true, what we are getting is their spin of politicians spin, or nearly worthless information.
As for my my resolute assumption that the government is one coherent body, I would suggest that I've said exactly the opposite. We, the citizens are the single largest part of the body politic. We are out of sync with each other and with our employees who are out of sync with each other. If we were one coherent body there would be no need whatever for any of the things I've suggested.
Our employees operate in secret a great deal of the time, and I think we should do what we can to mitigate that. I'd be all in for doing nothing if there were any demonstrable evidence that it might work.Feb 19 2013: Why? The big problem is Citizens United and the big donors. How can one not respect the founding fathers?
Feb 19 2013: The "founding fathers" are not one group. They are two groups: The Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. I have no respect for the Federalists, and every respect for the Anti-Federalists. I can hold this position because I have investigated American history using original documents. I KNOW that Americans have been lied to in their formal educations.
Feb 19 2013: Well.. not quite. There were many parties. But, this aside, I am noticing you are just as pretentious - entering the conversation under a specific pretense - as the people you condemned in your original comment. I was under the impression you supported bipartisan politics. I'm also nervous about your sensationalism concerning being lied to. I commend you for having dug deeper. Others haven't.

Interested to gauge opinion on when to offer full time vs part time contracts.
Now into my third season (first in the BSP) I have taken on a Scout with 15 for Ability and 16 for Potential (woohoo) on a full time basis as well as two full time coaches. Two players in my squad are on full time contracts and I am now looking to make all new contracts full time.
What has everyone else done in the BSP? Are you sticking to part time at the moment or pushing on and trying to take advantage of full time training?

If you're going to declare war on the tea party, The New York Times is a good place to start.
By laying out plans to protect Senate Republicans and other seasoned candidates from tea-party insurgents on the front page of the Sunday paper, the American Crossroads super PAC effectively alerted the donor class to its new venture, called the Conservative Victory Project.
But by picking a fight so publicly in what former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin famously decried as the "lame-stream media," the super PAC has royally antagonized the very conservative grassroots it is hoping to tame.
The backlash on Monday was swift. Freedom Works President Matt Kibbe called the super PAC's plans "Orwellian." ForAmerica Chairman L. Brent Bozell III declared, "The days of conservatives listening to the moderate GOP establishment are over." The Tea Party Express called the Conservative Victory Project "a big mistake that will lead to neither conservatives, nor victories."
The tension between these conservative groups, which prize ideology over electability, and the major Republican donors, who like to bet on winners, is one of the biggest challenges facing the Republican Party as it seeks to take back the Senate in 2014 and win the White House in 2016. It's also unclear how much success Crossroads will have in raising money in the next election cycle after such a bad run in 2012.
The political landscape is complicated and doesn't lend itself to easy answers. The Republican Party lost two Senate seats within its reach in 2012 because of offensive remarks about rape and abortion made by conservatives Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana. In 2010, tea party-backed candidate Christine O'Donnell upset Republiclan Sen. Michael Castle in Delaware, only to lose to Democrat Chris Coons in the general election after a series of embarrassing revelations.
Not only did Akin and Mourdock lose their races, Democrats exploited their comments in attacks that portrayed the GOP as out of touch and anti-woman.
But for every O'Donnell and Akin, there are examples of seasoned, establishment-backed Republicans who fell short in 2012: Heather Wilson in New Mexico, Rick Berg in North Dakota, and Denny Rehberg in Montana. Many of the rising stars of the Republican Party -- Sens. Marco Rubio in Florida, Ted Cruz in Texas, Rand Paul in Kentucky, and Tim Scott in South Carolina -- were backed by the Club for Growth, which prides itself on taking out Republican primary candidates whom it believes betrayed fiscal conservative principles. "Too often for the Republican establishment, electability means moderate," said Club for Growth spokesman Barney Keller.
The Conservative Victory Project is among a number of new Republican groups trying to broaden the party's appeal beyond its right-wing base in the wake of GOP nominee Mitt Romney's drubbing in the November election. On Wednesday, the Republican State Leadership Committee will unveil its "newest phase" to support female and minority candidates running for state office. A former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, Fergus Cullen, and a former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Carlos Gutierrez, have both announced separate plans to raise money for Republican candidates who back immigration reform. The Republican Main Street Partnership decided last month to remove the word "Republican" from its title to reflect its goal to build a broader political coalition.
"I think it's worthwhile for the public at large to know that there is a movement within the Republican Party to bring this thing back to center-right," said the group's new president, former Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio, who left Congress complaining about partisan gridlock. "The hornets' nest needed to be stuck with a stick because it's led us in a bad direction. We might have a majority in the U.S. Senate if not for these conservative groups that have these litmus tests for membership."
In some respects the new group seeks to do the dirty work of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the arm of the national party overseeing Senate recruitment and fundraising. The NRSC ideally works behind the scenes to vet candidates and help the strongest ones raise money and hire professional staff, and it has faced criticism for more heavy-handed involvement in primaries. Its endorsement of the politically squishy governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, over the more conservative Marco Rubio in 2010 fueled grassroots suspicion toward endorsements from Washington. That same year, tea-party-backed Republican Ron Johnson in Wisconsin waved off offers of help from the national party because he feared it would enrage conservative activists.
The party's interests in clearing the field for strong candidates without insulting voters who think they know best leaves national GOP leaders hamstrung.
"We think there is a necessity in having a group out there that can educate people about weaker candidates' records," said one national party official.
One 2012 race that offers the Conservative Victory Fund some encouragement was Richard Hudson's win in a North Carolina congressional district. The Club for Growth backed one of his rivals, upstart candidate Scott Keadle, but the more moderate American Action Network leveled the playing field by backing Hudson.
"It's a very positive development that another significant group with significant resources is joining this effort to support the most electable conservatives," said Dan Conston, a spokesman for the American Action Network.
Looking to 2014, establishment Republicans are already worried about the Club for Growth's threat to oppose a Senate bid by a popular House member from West Virginia, Shelley Moore Capito. Another state that could see intra-GOP warfare is Iowa, where Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin is retiring. Rep. Steve King, a hard-liner on illegal immigration at a time when the GOP is trying to boost its appeal among Hispanics, is considering a Senate bid.
The new group's potential interference in Iowa could pave the way for a more moderate Republican. Or it could backfire by raising the ire of King and his anti-establishment supporters.
"I think that any time the message to conservatives is that the smart guys in Washington are going to be picking candidates, it's very dangerous," said Republican consultant Curt Anderson. "A lot of the smart guys turn out to be not very smart. It's playing with fire."

I like and stay with Miller products.... I would get a MM212 and be done with it. You never know what's coming through the door, having a bigger machine around is never a bad idea.

The 211 and the 212 both go to 210Amps max
211 - 210amp @ 15% duty cycle
212 - 210amps @ 30% duty cycle
With the 211 I can use 8" or 4" spools of wire available local at tractor supply, versus the 212 I have no clue if it can use a 8" spool or if I am stuck having to find 12" spools somewhere ???
211 Plus
- Portable - 120V option -- could take somewhere with flux core to fix something.
- lower cost so I could also buy the spoolgun for aluminum too.
- same max amps as the 212 for lower cost
- Miller has 15% off on 211 right now
211 Negative
- shorter mig lead (but welder can be moved easy and put on a homemade cart)
- only 15% duty cycle at 210 amps, will have to take more breaks
212 Plus
- longer mig leads (15ft)
- slightly longer duty cycle
- fan on demand (quieter and less contaminate intake)
- spoolgun option for 212 has a longer 20ft cable for more reach
212 Negative
- heavy and not portable (could not roll outside without wheels getting stuck)
- $1000 more and still will not weld thicker material than the 211
Also found this about the wire speeds, but since I'm not a Mig guy, not sure what benefit this is ??
212 Wire Feed
211 Wire Feed
(1.5 –13.7
What is the benefit of 160 more inches per minute? Would this mainly be a benefit when working with aluminum?
If i wanted a welder for in the shop it would be a 212 where the duty cycle would be better. If i wanted a welder i could lug around it would be a 211. Thats why there are choices because some people don't just want one. I have the older MM 185 with spoolgun and i take it outside all the time with a longer cord but i don't haul my cylinder on the rack as i have 3 of them chained to the wall by the door and just pick which one i need, i have a 25' hose hooked to my welder. It does make the welder a lot easier to move around....BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Time for a New Miller
Just my 2 cents, but I'd say go as heavy as you can on your machine buy. It seems like you lose some of the speed advantages of Mig when you get down in the low duty cycles.
I've been welding some heavy projects at my shop with a cp302, and similar stuff at a friends with his 211, and it is definitely much less effort to
get a consistently good result with the big machine (night and day). Flange and face thickness are one thing, but that transition area between the two can
have a lot of meat in it, especially on standard beams, vs wide flange.
Going slow, stitching, preheating - will all help, but for me, at some point in there I'd rather be in a stick setup with power to spare, if thats an option, as it sometimes is,
based on costs.

I bought a new MM252 a few weeks ago and have tinkered with it the past 2 weekends. It is such a major improvement over my mm140 I sold. Was welding in 3" strap to the 8" c-purlin frame of my shop building to install a new 240V 60A dedicated receptical for the welder. Was using the existing hookup in the shop to run the welder.
I am really liking the results. Settings seemed a little off for the 1/8" strap when I used the chart settings of 17.4V 230IPM.
So when I went to weld the 1/8" strap to the 14ga c-purlin I adjusted things down a little bit to 17.2V 210IPM. Was very pleased with the results of the flat welds and horizontal overhead welds it producted and have a nice heat signature line across the c-purlin indicating adequate penetration for securing the receptacle.
The more I use the welder the more I am enjoying it.
For welding outside, I visited home and picked up an Airco Easy Arc 250A AC/DC stick welder.
This was the welder I first learned to strike an arc with when I was 7. I noticed one board has a lead from a capacitor broke off. Could have broke loose over the years from being moved to and from places. I plan to solder it back in place and see how the welder runs.

Television, television, television….
Money, money, money…
Those two linked topics topped the bill when a group of team chiefs and major component suppliers met the media at Albert Park on Friday.
'The world is changing', was the keynote, and Formula 1 must change with it to ensure ongoing financial health.
The Formula 1 panel revealed concerns that the sport is facing a major challenge to sustain its levels of financial success as we move from traditional television viewing habits to younger, more flexible multi-platform media audiences.
Nobody talked about speed. Nor racing. Nor even the sound or beauty of their cars.
Instead, it was all about 'how to improve the show' and sustain it as F1 switched from working with national free-to-air broadcasters to a more complex and regionalised global structure of deals with pay-per-view companies.
"We need to deliver the best show we can to get the biggest audience we can get," said McLaren team chief Martin Whitmarsh. "The world is changing. Pay-per-view has changed the classic audience – we have to work hard to succeed on all the platforms now."
The panel, including Whitmarsh, Eric Boullier of Lotus, Jean-Michel Jalinier of Renault, Paul Hembery of Pirelli and Mercedes' Toto Wolff agreed that the sport's traditional 'business model' was changing.
But, they stressed, Formula One held a unique position as a truly global sports brand offering an equally unique platform to its partners, sponsors and advertisers.
And this, they said, meant that only the highest quality levels of entertainment, in the form of 'the show' for television, and other media platforms, would maintain success.
"This is a massive sport going through a transitionary period," said Whitmarsh. "We have to work very hard."
Wolff added: "We are the largest global sport and we are working in a very tough environment. We have to protect the sport as a whole."
As they talked, a vision of the future took shape: one in which the sport's global audience consumes Formula One as a recorded show on tablets and other devices. Yes, another soap opera with 19 episodes.
"People under the age of 20 don't sit and watch television on a traditional television any more," said Hembery. "That is the way the world is changing. Formula 1 has an opportunity to be at the forefront of that technology, particularly as it is such a technological sport."
When asked if it was true that the underlying problem facing the sport was that F1 spends too much money, the panel hit back robustly.
"It's a world sport, it has this great coverage and none of the investors today in Formula One are there for any altruistic motivation," said Whitmarsh.
"They're there because it makes sense, they get a return on that investment and if they're not, they're not around for long…" By the end, having heard F1 described variously as a platform, a commodity and a show, it was easy to forget it was, and still is, a sport.

Gallery: Amazing Space Saving Furniture Stacks Like Nesting Dolls
Named after the famous nesting dolls, Matroshka is designed for those who live in compact dwellings — it includes everything needed in an apartment except the kitchen sink and the bathroom. The system was designed by four students (Sara Remnerth, Anna Fossane, Magnus Gustavsson and Anna Thorseaus) in 2007 as an Industrial Design project at Mid Sweden University in Sundsvall. The group was tasked with finding new solutions for people living in small residences, so they focused their attention on maximizing space, providing storage, and improving the social functions of small-space living.
What resulted was the Matroshka living system, which provides space for working, study, sleep, eating, socializing and relaxing, and even has enough room to store clothes, books, and cleaning supplies. The furniture pieces nest inside of one another and slide underneath the raised workspace, which consists of desk and shelves. Stairs to the work platform provide valuable storage, and each dining stool stows away underneath the bed/bench to provide more storage. The system can expand to seat up to twelve people for dinner and social occasions, and can be compacted to provide extra room.
Currently the designers of Matroshka are seeking investors and business partners to turn this amazing furniture system into a reality. You'd think with them being in Sweden, that IKEA would snap this idea up and run with it.

After-School STEM Workshops Receive AT&T Contribution
Orlando Science Center Provides Title I Students with Tools for Future Success
The AT&T Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant to the Orlando Science Center to support new "Destination: STEM" After-School Workshops for 50 underserved Orange County middle school students. Orlando Science Center will develop and present forty 90-minute hands-on workshops that introduce science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines and career paths, focusing on engineering and modeling/simulation.
These fields were chosen because the Central Florida region is a hub for technology-based industries and innovation. Metro Orlando is the 26th largest metropolitan area in the United States and boasts a gross domestic product of more than $100 billion dollars.
"AT&T and the Orlando Science Center have teamed up to bring engineering and simulation activities as well as career options in science and engineering fields to middle schoolers," said JoAnn Newman, President and CEO of the Orlando Science Center. "Learning about STEM and the opportunities that exist will not only help today's youth, but also our country's future."
The "Destination: STEM" After-School Workshops will engage underserved students in inspiring hands-on, experiential informal science and math activities geared toward today's technologies and tomorrow's innovations. This new after-school program will enable two groups of 25 students each to attend 20 unique, 90-minute hands-on after-school workshops throughout the academic year.
Students will attend the "Destination: STEM" After-School Program three times per month, beginning in fall 2012 and continuing through May 2013. Each month will focus on a new STEM discipline and will reinforce science and math concepts essential to those career pathways. The final session, held in June 2013, will serve as a capstone event, allowing the students to showcase their "Destination STEM" project work and to position them as future STEM ambassadors for their school. To support classroom curricula, all program activities will be aligned with the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards and Common Core Standards specified by Orange County Public Schools.
The "Destination: STEM" After-School Workshops are designed to inspire and excite 50 middle school students about the academic and professional opportunities associated with the thriving, ever-growing STEM industries. Through the workshops, the Science Center will expose them to emerging and existing career opportunities in STEM fields, and connect each experience to the importance of attaining strong science and math skills. Project activities conducted by students in the workshops will connect to each session's topic.
At mid-year, students will be encouraged to volunteer and attend OTRONICON, Orlando Science Center's annual digital media festival, as another "Invitation to Learning." OTRONICON is a four-day event highlighting innovations in science, technology, education and art. During the event, the Science Center is transformed into an exciting and immersive environment filled with interactive technology demonstrations, simulation experiences, game competitions and career-oriented workshops.
"Underserved students participating in Destination: STEM will learn the impact that strong science and math skills can have on their future lives" say Troy McNichols, Regional Director AT&T Central Florida. "Their pursuit of STEM Courses in high school and college will ultimately lead to a STEM career that will provide higher pay opportunities in a growth area in our economy."
"Destination: STEM provides an influential learning experience," Newman said. "When we engage youth in active learning, we have the chance to inspire them in the fields of science and engineering, which is what the Science Center is all about."

Electric QB
by ESPN Arcade
Imagine playing electric football, but this time in a video game. Electric QB puts you behind the line of scrimmage trying to hit your receivers. Power up your arm by holding the left mouse button down. When it's at the right level release the mouse and fire the ball. Don't forget to lead your receiver. You'll get four footballs to complete level. As long as you don't throw any incomplete passes or get sacked you keep all your footballs. You can also earn an extra ball by hitting the bonus receiver. Now get out there and makes some completions!

new_tbl_name2] ...
This statement renames one or more tables.
The rename operation is done atomically, which means that no other
session can access any of the tables while the rename is running.
For example, if you have an existing table
old_table, you can create another table
new_table that has the same structure but is
empty, and then replace the existing table with the empty one as
follows (assuming that
backup_table does not
already exist):
CREATE TABLE new_table (...); RENAME TABLE old_table TO backup_table, new_table TO old_table;
If the statement renames more than one table, renaming operations
are done from left to right. If you want to swap two table names,
you can do so like this (assuming that
tmp_table does not already exist):
RENAME TABLE old_table TO tmp_table, new_table TO old_table, tmp_table TO new_table;
As long as two databases are on the same file system, you can use
RENAME TABLE to move a table from
one database to another:
If there are any triggers associated with a table which is moved
to a different database using
TABLE, then the statement fails with the error
Trigger in wrong schema.
RENAME TABLE also works for views,
as long as you do not try to rename a view into a different
Any privileges granted specifically for the renamed table or view are not migrated to the new name. They must be changed manually.
When you execute
RENAME, you cannot have any
locked tables or active transactions. You must also have the
ALTER and
DROP privileges on the original
table, and the
CREATE and
INSERT privileges on the new table.
If MySQL encounters any errors in a multiple-table rename, it does a reverse rename for all renamed tables to return everything to its original state.
You cannot use
RENAME to rename a
TEMPORARY table. However, you can use
ALTER TABLE instead:
ALTER TABLE orig_name RENAME new_name;
If the rename operation would move the table to a database located on a different file system, outcome success is platform specific and depends on the underlying operating system calls used to move table files.

Note that if the table being renamed is a target for any InnoDB foreign keys, the keys will continue to point to the swapped-out table, not its replacement, and referential integrity for newly added rows may be different than what you might be expecting.. A fully formed table swap needs to drop all referencing foreign keys from all other tables and add new ones to the swapped-in table, which means index/table rebuilds over the entire database schema. In practice, this means the atomicity only works for databases where foreign keys aren't used.

Please note that in MySQL versions < 5.1 there is no direct command to rename a database.
One good way to over come it, is to use the RENAME TABLE command.
See example at: http://www.rndblog.com/how-to-rename-a-database-in-mysql/

Please note that MySQL checks the destination table name BEFORE checking if the source table exists.
CREATE TABLE test_a (a INT);
RENAME TABLE test_b TO test_a; # There isn't any "test_b" table...
Results in:
Error Code: 1050. Table 'test_a' already exists
