Usher Reveals Missing Swedish House Mafia Song, Refutes 'R&B Is Dead,' Talks New Album
Usher is fearless. Since coming on the scene almost two decades ago, the singer has successfully switched up his style. He's embraced R&B with "Confessions Part II" and "Burn," gone the pop route with "OMG" and "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" and even dabbled with hip-hop on "Yeah!" and its similarly felt successor "Little Freak." Truthfully, the crooner has never been afraid to expl

You are like the Teblow fan boys. When Penny wins its because of him, when he loses its because of everyone else. The fact remains he (Penny) in 08 won 7 games by 7 pts or less to teams that were .500 or worse. Over his last 4 games he went 0-4, with 2tds and 6 INTS. In that last BALT game, MIA was in that game coming out of half. Where Penny then proceeded to throw his 3rd INT of the game.
08 and Penny was a joke and set this franchise back. The WC was born because of his inability to score TD's and win games (0-3). A formation that took the ball out of HIS hands. And if you think that one year made MIA relevant again, then your sorely mistaken. Draft picks and FA signings have made MIA relevant again.
You can rationalize your penny love. But you can't rewrite history.
BTW, I bet you can't throw a ball 20 yards. See its all BS, just because I said it, doesn't make it true. Now go back to watching cartoons in your mom's basement.

TEST DRIVE: Inhabitat Takes the Tesla Roadster for a Spin in Silicon Valley
The day was hot and the car was very, very fast. Electric cars have all of their power available to you at all times, so if you want to, say, take the car from 0-40 in two seconds, your lungs will simply wrap themselves around your spine and you're off. Or say you wanted to take the car from 40-90. No problem. Done in another two seconds. Suffice it to say, this is a fun car to drive on the winding roads of the Los Altos Hills and Palo Alto. Caveat: Please note that driving a Tesla Roadster may result in involuntary hysterical laughter.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Before we even took the Tesla Roadster out for a drive (they gave us the optioned out car Tesla CEO Elon Musk drives when he's in town), we were given a tour of the facilities. Tesla will soon be expanding operations to the former NUMMI plant in Fremont across the Bay, but for now, all powertrains are made at the Tesla headquarters before and after Lotus has their way with the car bodies. Tesla makes 9 powertrains per day in this facility. Each one includes 6831 battery cells, and each battery cell must be tested for quality. That's and intensive job, but the work environment appeared pleasant enough. Tesla's manufacturing floor is housed in an old HP facility, and the floors just could not be any whiter or shinier. The "factory" is as clean and quiet as the end product.

Having driven the Roadster a couple times I can confirm it is a smile and laughter inducing experience. The 0-60 time of under 4 seconds is astonishing. Zero noise. Zero CO2. Zero liquid fuel. The biggest thrill was to drive past a great big Exxon station where cars jockeyed for position to refuel. Me and the bright red Tesla drove past silently – thinking, we'll never have to do that again.

Feed Animals
Related Links
Recovering food discards as animal feed is not new. In many areas, hog farmers have traditionally relied on food discards to sustain their livestock. Diverting food to feed animals reduces disposal costs because farmers or companies will often take food scraps for less money than landfill hauling fees. Appropriate excess food may also be provided to zoos for use as feed for select animals, based upon the determination of each zoo's animal feeding experts. Additionally, some companies convert food discards into commercial animal feed and pet food.
What Types of Food Can Be Donated to Feed Animals?
Regulations vary from state to state on what types of food discards can be used to feed animals. Coffee grounds and foods with high salt content are usually not accepted, as they can be harmful to livestock.
To get started, contact the county agricultural extension office, state veterinarian, or county health department to find out about specific state regulations and to find contact information for licensed farmers.
What Laws Govern Feeding Animals Food Discards?
If surplus food provided to animals contains no meat or animal materials, federal laws or regulations do not apply, although there may be state laws that regulate such feeding. However, in cases where food contains meat or animal materials, or food that has come into contact with meat or animal products, converting food into feed for hogs is regulated by the Federal Swine Health Protection Act (PL 96 468). This Act requires that all such food must be boiled before being fed to hogs and that facilities conducting the boiling be registered with either the USDA or the chief agricultural or animal health official in the state in which the facility is located.
Regulations vary from state to state. Some states ban food donation for animal feed while others regulate what food can be donated. The regulations may also require specific handling processes in order to donate to animal feedstock. Prior to sending food scraps to animal feed, consult state regulations and contact your local solid waste agency or public health agency for guidance on any local permit requirements.
Success Stories
Rutgers University
New Jersey's Rutgers University, the third largest student dining operation in the country, is a leader in food scraps diversion. To reduce the amount of food waste generated at Rutgers, the dining halls partnered with a local farm, Pinter Farms, who collects on average 1.125 tons of food scraps per day from Rutgers' four main dining halls and feeds it to its hogs and cattle. Diverting food scraps to Pinter Farms cost Rutgers half the price of send the material to landfill. View fact sheet (PDF) (2 pp, 725K)
Barthold Recycling & Roll-off Services
Barthold Recycling & Roll-off Services collects food from restaurants, hotels, schools, nursing homes, grocery stores and even large food processors to feed 3,800 pigs and 250 head of cattle on its 290-acre facility. Today, Barthold collects food scraps from about 400 commercial customers in the St. Francis, Minnesota area each month. Customers pay 30 percent less to recycle their food waste because it reduces taxes, disposal costs, and fees at landfills. Customers report other benefits such as increased cleanliness and reduced labor costs. Learn more.
MGM Resorts International
MGM Resorts International, a global hospitality provider, has been working to reduce food waste reaching landfills since 2007. They send some of their food scraps from their Las Vegas Strip properties to RC Farms, a pig farm in North Las Vegas with 3,000 pigs. RC Farms follows state requirements for feeding animals by cooking the food scraps before feeding them to the pigs. Learn more .

Interpretive Handbook
89462 :
TGFBR2 Gene, Known Mutation
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Mutations in the TGFBR2 gene have been implicated in a range of autosomal dominant conditions with considerable phenotypic overlap. The genetic disease most commonly associated with TGFBR2 mutations is Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS), which is characterized by cerebral, thoracic, and abdominal arterial aneurysms and/or dissections, as well as skeletal anomalies (chest abnormalities, scoliosis, joint laxity, arachnodactyly).
LDS is divided into LDS type I and LDS type II based on the phenotype, then further categorized depending on the causative gene. Both LDS type I and II involve the cardiovascular and skeletal manifestations mentioned above. In addition, LDS type I involves craniofacial manifestations including hypertelorism, bifid uvula/cleft palate, and craniosynostosis. LDS type I caused by a TGFBR1 mutation is known as LDS1A, whereas LDS type I caused by a TGFBR2 mutation, is known as LDS1B. LDS type II has cutaneous manifestations including velvety and translucent skin, easy bruising, widened and atrophic scars, and uterine rupture. LDS type II caused by a TGFBR1 mutation is known as LDS2A, whereas LDS type II caused by a TGFBR2 mutation is known as LDS2B. Identical mutations can lead to LDS type I or type II, supporting the belief that both types are part of a clinical continuum.
Mutations in the TGFBR2 gene have also been identified in conditions with phenotypic overlap with LDS. Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a systemic connective tissue disorder involving the ocular, skeletal, and cardiovascular systems. MFS is most often associated with mutations in the FBN1 gene; however some individuals who meet or nearly meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for MFS have been shown to have mutations in TGFBR2. Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD), which involves cardiovascular manifestations only, has also been associated with mutations in TGFBR2. Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by marfanoid habitus, cardiovascular anomalies, mental retardation, and craniosynostosis, has been associated with a TGFBR2 mutation. TGFBR2 mutations have also been identified in individuals who phenotypically present with vascular type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), but tested negative for COL3A1 mutations (the gene typically associated with vascular EDS).
Transforming growth factor beta receptor II (TGFBR-II) is a 70 to 80 kDa protein that belongs to the serine-threonine kinase family of cell surface receptors. This group of receptors regulates a variety of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and formation of the extracellular matrix. Receptor activation occurs upon binding of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) to TGFBR-II, which then recruits and phosphorylates TGFBR-I, propagating the signal to downstream transcription factors. TGFBR-II is encoded by the TGFBR2 gene, which contains 7 exons plus 2 variant exons and is located on chromosome 3p22.
Excluding TGFBR2 mutations reported in malignancies, more than 50 pathogenic TGFBR2 mutations have been associated with the syndromic features described above. The majority of these are missense mutations, although splice site and nonsense mutations have also been reported. The great majority of pathogenic mutations are located in the intracellular serine/threonine kinase domains. Few genotype-phenotype correlations exist for TGFBR2 mutations; indeed, identical mutations have been reported to cause MFS in some individuals and LDS in others. Approximately 25% of individuals with LDS have an affected parent, while 75% have a de novo mutation.
TGFBR2 mutations can manifest with a range of phenotypes and variable ages of onset both between families and among affected members of the same family. Thus, TGFBR2-related disorders can be diagnostically challenging. Genetic testing for TGFBR2 mutations allows for the confirmation of a suspected genetic disease. Confirmation of LDS or other TGFBR2-associated genetic diseases allows for proper treatment and management of the disease, and preconception/prenatal and family counseling. For example, in LDS, aortic dissection has been observed at aortic dimensions that do not confer risk in MFS caused by FBN1 mutations. Therefore, a more aggressive treatment strategy or earlier surgical intervention might be considered if an individual were found to have a TGFBR2 mutation rather than an FBN1 mutation.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Genetic testing of individuals at risk for a known TGFBR2 mutation
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients who have received a heterologous blood transfusion within the preceding 6 weeks, or who have received an allogeneic blood or marrow transplant, can have inaccurate genetic test results due to presence of donor DNA.
This test is for individuals who are at risk for a TGFBR2 mutation that has been previously identified in the family. If the familial mutation is not known, the familial proband should be screened for a TGFBR2 mutation using TGF2 / TGFBR2 Full Gene Sequence.
Any error in the diagnosis or pedigree provided to us, including false-paternity, could lead to erroneous interpretation of results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

Recipe by Jessie A.
"This recipe is thick and flavorful. It is simple, delicious, and quick to make, enjoy (I know you will)."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons
onion, chopped
1 stalk
celery, chopped
3 cups
chicken broth
8 cups
broccoli florets
3 tablespoons
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 cups
ground black pepper to taste
Well....this is a prize winner recipe. I've made this many times and have tweeked it to perfection. Use BUTTER, not margarine. The onion should be Vadalia. It adds an exceptional flavor and a touch of sweetness to the soup. The original recipe says to use the florettes....nonsence...chop the stems and leaves and throw them in. It says to simmer 10 minutes, NOPE. It takes at least 20 minutes for the broccoli to become soft. DON'T use a hand mixer to smash the broccoli. Use a potato masher and don't go nuts mashing it. Larger pieces of broccoli really make this soup exceptional. If you use a blender or mixer, you'll have a bowl of druel. Try this...fry up a few pieces of bacon and crumble it in the soup. It adds another dimension to this recipe. Everyone loves this soup, including kids. PS...Use Oberweis SKIM MILK. You can't tell the difference from whole milk and you can save a bunch of calories.
Torn about reviews and what I really thought of this recipe. I really didn't care for this recipe at all. Followed it to a T and it was more of an overly gritty texture of broccoli then a creamy soup. And bland. No umph of flavor. As much salt and pepper as I had to use, it still was not very flavorful as other cream of broccoli soups that I've had. So sorry, it needs something.

This recipe is great! I highly recommend it. We don't put it in the blender - just use a potato masher.
VERY easy to make, comes out GREAT exactly as directed, for the second time I made it I used 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 1/2 cups milk to get a richer taste. I highly recommend adding parmesan cheese to the top of the bowl when serving.
Excellent! I followed the recipe for the most part. I used 2 stalks chopped celery, 2 cans College Inn Chicken Broth, 1 Cup Milk, 1 Cup Heavy Cream. I also did not puree the broccoli. I like a chunky soup. For the roux I melted the butter and removed from heat. Then I measured the 3 Tbs. flour in a small bowl and added a little bit at a time of the milk/cream mixture and whisked it till smooth. Then I added it to the melted butter. Then added that to the soup. NO LUMPS! Served with Grated Cheddar Cheese and Warm French Bread. So good on a Hurricane Wilma night.
This recipe is perfectly titled; this soup is the bomb! Rather than puree, I followed another member's suggestion and just let the broth and broccoli boil down, but after 10 minutes, I took some of the broccoli out, so we could have some big pieces of it in the soup. I doubled the broth, because it does boil off quite a bit. What a keeper- this is my new broccoli soup, thanks!! (But just know that it doesn't smell so great while it's cooking, but it will taste good)
This soup is wonderful. I made only minor adjustments to suit my tastes. I left out the celery and added fresh garlic, more onion and red pepper flakes. I also added a bit of cream cheese when I was blending the soup. I used half milk and half evaporated milk and added a pinch of nutmeg at the end. This is definitely going into the recipe box. Thanks.
This was a great base to start w/but I tweaked it a bit b/c I'm vegetarian and wanted a Broccoli Cheese Soup. This will be my permanent recipe, b/c it was perfect. My changes: 1/2 lg red onion, 2 stalks celery, a few handfuls of baby carrots (chopped), 4c. Unchicken Broth, 2c. Low Sodium Vegetable Broth, 2.5 lbs of broccoli florets, 3 c. Rice Milk, 1 c. Fat Free Half and Half, 1 sprig fresh marjoram, 1/8 -1/4 of a block of fat free cream cheese (gave it more body) and a bit of light Velvetta. For the roux I used a butter, EVOO blend w/spelt flour, sea salt and white pepper.
I found a huge bag of broccoli florets @ Sam's Club/Costco so that really helped things along. I prefer a chunkier soup so I just used my hand blender and blended half of the soup or so. The broccoli was really tender when all was said and done anyway. It was really very, very good.

As many as 70% of American teens and adults are thought to be deficient in vitamin D-often called the sunshine vitamin-since it is difficult to get from diet alone and most people are limiting their unprotected sun exposure. Research over the past 10 years has demonstrated vitamin D's critical role in overall health, making these deficiencies a matter of increasing concern.
The National Institutes of Health states that vitamin D is not only essential for bone health, but also for the modulation of neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation. Strong biological evidence also indicates that vitamin D works to prevent colon, prostate, and breast cancers.
In 2007, a group of leading nutritionists stated that "public health is best served by a recommendation of higher daily intakes of vitamin D" in an editorial submission to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics raised the recommended intake for children to 400 International Units (IUs) per day, doubling levels set by the Food and Nutrition Board.
Still, for many, it remains unclear whether they are getting enough of this essential nutrient. Below are some of the little-known facts about vitamin D to help guide you in your decision to supplement.
Vitamin D's safety has been demonstrated at up to 10,000 IUs per day. While the current government recommended daily intake is set at only 200 IUs for anyone under 50 years old, most experts support getting at least 1,000 IUs of vitamin D per day.
According to the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, only 29% of adult men and 17% of adult women had a dietary intake exceeding the 200 IU recommendation.
One cup of fortified milk contains 120 IUs of vitamin D.
The amount of sunlight reaching latitudes above 42 degrees (places north of California and Boston) is insufficient for natural vitamin D creation by the body between November and February.
Sunscreen is important for protecting against skin damage. However, any formulas with an SPF higher than 8 will block the UV rays necessary for natural vitamin D synthesis.
Strict vegetarians, adults over 50, people with dark skin and those who drink alcohol excessively are at increased risk for vitamin D deficiency.
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency can include fatigue, muscle weakness and bone pain, but symptoms most often go unnoticed.
Liquid drops are great for kids since they can be easily added to a multivitamin or smoothie in varying dosages. Look for formulas without added vitamin B for a better tasting option.
Most studies are done with D3 (also called cholecalciferol). Opt for this form of the vitamin when choosing a supplement since it is more potent than D2 (also called ergocalciferol).
Our practitioners often recommend Pharmaca brand vitamin D or Rx Vitamins Liqui-D3 2000 IU.
If you feel that you might be at risk for low levels of vitamin D, talk with your doctor about having a 25-hydroxy vitamin D test done (by the way, normal ranges are between 30-74 ng/mL). As always, you can also speak with one of our nutritionists or naturopathic doctors about the dosage, formula or brand that might be right for your needs.

Many years ago, a friend told a story of growing up so poor, his parents served shadow ham on a regular basis. What is shadow ham? This is when cured country ham was hung up where you could smell it for days or weeks before cooking and eating it. The aroma is shadow ham.
President Barack Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats seem to be practicing shadow jobs.
Touching words too late for 3-year-old
I read Betty Ann Stevens' letter, "Young need to put down guns, parents need to speak up," in the July 29 edition of The Lancaster News.
There were some touching words in the letter. But those words were too late for my 3-year-old granddaughter, Jaylen Jackson. She lost her life to the negligence of others when she was shot and killed when she got caught in a crossfire.
It's that time of year again, folks. School has started and buses are rolling about 6:15 a.m. each day. If you have children who will be waiting at bus stops, please cut the grass and clear the area around the bus stops so passers by can see your child in the wee hours of the morning.
Lancaster County appears to be so broke that many roads are now overgrown, limiting the ability to see. We truly do not want to have any harm come to our children. So, please folks, cut, cut, cut that grass.
Our students, parents and drivers would greatly appreciate it.
So often media reporters have a tendency to place undue blame or financial hardship on individuals or companies in their quest for hard-hitting news.
Chris Sardelli's article, "Cars damaged in gas mix-up at Murphy's," in the Aug. 10 edition of The Lancaster News, clearly outlined the costly mistake made that resulted in many vehicle owners becoming distraut.
Here we go again. Now that the left has failed to codify the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party as racists, they have turned to using the term of "terrorists." The media, Democratic congressmen, and even the vice president have used the words "terrorists," "jihadists" and "terrorist bombers" to erroneously vilify the TEA Party.
This is the ultimate in hypocrisy for when the Islamists actually attacked us on 9/11 and the many attempts after, the left couldn't bring their tiny minds to call them terrorists.
I would like to respond to Danny Johnson's letter, "Alcohol sales on Sunday have nothing to do with eating out," in the Aug. 10 edition of The Lancaster News.
Mr. Johnson is entitled to God's Day, as freedom of religion is part of our founding. That same founding calls for separation of church and state. Mr. Johnson has no right to try and force his beliefs on others.
It's me again. Anybody out there?
I have been working for three years to foster positive change within Indian Land by educating and informing the citizens. I have attended Lancaster County Council meetings and spoken, been appointed to county committees, and more to represent Indian Land.
Dr. Deborah B. Cureton is not only an educator, a humanitarian and a servant to our community, but she is also a cherished family member with whom I'm very proud. She respectfully embodies the spirit of my mother and her father which encourages me to be the best me that I can be.
I am also inspired by her service work, which propelled me to pay it forward to those in need of a helping hand.
Excuse me, Mr. Willis, it's difficult for me to understand how the undeveloped property and community roads in Edenmoor could still be "private property" since the Forfeited Land Commission completed foreclosure proceedings, which I believe took place in the last months of 2010. And I'm pretty sure I could convince a judge who is legally liable for occurrences on the property while under the FLC's control.
Rudy Schmidt wrote an excellent letter, "An American fairy tale," in the July 31 edition of The Lancaster News. That is more than what I can say for Gil Small, chairman of the Lancaster County Democratic Party. His column, "There are some in Congress we can rely on to get the job done," sounded like it was from an AP President Barack Obama parrot article. He mentions debt-ceiling raises under President George W. Bush, but neglects to mention most of them were by a Democrat-controlled Congress.

About Unknown Mortal Orchestra
What happens when the band you were in…disbands? If you're Portland, Oregon's Ruban Nielson, you plan to quit music except as a hobby. Until it becomes something more.
The something more we're referring to is an outfit that calls itself Unknown Mortal Orchestra. It started out as Nielson making psychedelic demos in his basement and branched into a brand of experimental pop that made its way to the ears of some important people at Fat Possum Records. Cue the record deal, and the subsequent release of the group's self-titled debut in the early summer of 2011.
Funny things happen when you least expect them to, like Unknown Mortal Orchestra growing so much it needed to enlist the help of a full band for a promotional tour. They later signed with Jagjaguwar for a sophomore album, "II," which received widespread critical acclaim. It won Best Alternative Album at the New Zealand Music Awards, earned a 9/10 rating from Clash Music, and high praise from Paste Magazine (which called the album "a modern, beat-heavy take on '60s psych, with plenty of hooks and fuzz to get you hooked and feeling fuzzy."
Unknown Mortal Orchestra has also gained quite a following thanks to its live shows. They embarked on a world tour in the winter of 2012, kicking off with shows in Australia and moving to New Zealand, the UK and finally into North America. They were named one of Fuse TV's "30 must-see artists at SXSW" and consistently sold out shows, finally extending their tour through the end of 2013.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra Touring North America and Europe
In four short years, Unknown Mortal Orchestra's accomplished a lot! Singer-songwriter Ruban Nielson, bassist Jake Portrait, and drummer Riley Geare make up the group known for the 2013 hit "So Good at Being in Trouble." The indie rock band from Portland, OR by way of Auckland, NZ, released their second studio album early last year.…Read more

Problems with state's food stamp program leaves many waiting
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Misery at the welfare office near Rancho and Washington on Wednesday, where many people who waited for hours in line found no help inside.
Ronda Zager was among those standing in the hot winter sun. She told Action News, "People are hungry and starving and have health issues and money issues and they don't have enough employees and everybody is just in a big funk."
Zager is among hundreds, perhaps thousands of Nevadans whose food stamps have been temporarily cut off. Action News received e-mails asking us to find out why.
Zager said her situation was desperate. "Basically for me, I have a child. She's a teenager. I'm type one diabetic. I depend on the food stamps to get food and eat." And, Zager said, she depended on a letter she didn't get from the State of Nevada.
A spokeswoman for the Nevada Division of Welfare and Support Services admits, the state messed up.
Courtesy notices are usually sent reminding people to re-apply for food stamps every six months, but they weren't mailed in November due to a computer glitch. Zager didn't get hers until December 19Th for the December 31st deadline. When she, and as many as 11,000 Nevadans woke up January first, they discovered their food stamp cards were not re-loaded.
The spokeswoman told Action News, food stamp recipients have three options. They can visit a welfare office in person to see if their application can be accepted on the spot, or they can mail the form in or fill it out on-line. Unfortunately, the back-log of applications now being processed means the last two options may delay the resumption of benefits by days, even longer.
If you have a question or a concern you would like us to look into, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

In a videocracy the key to power is the image. In Italy one man only has kept the domination of the image over three entire decades. As a TV-magnate and then as presidente, Silvio Berlusconi has created a perfect system of TV-entertainment and politics. Like no one else he has influenced the content of commercial television in Italy. His TV-channels, known for their over-exposure of almost naked girls, are seen by many as a mirror of his own taste and personality.

Midwest Living Review
Plan a visit early in the day or late in the afternoon to admire the Jeffers Petroglyphs, a collection of 4,000 symbols crudely chiseled into pink quartzite prairie rock 1,000 years ago. (It's easiest to view the carvings when the sun is at a low angle.) Park rangers lead tours out onto this remote patch of prairie in southwestern Minnesota's Red Rock Ridge. Using a mirror and a board to create artificial shade, park staffers transform what look like mere faint scratches in full sunshine into distinct petroglyphs of turtles, snakes, atlatl (spear throwers) and animals.
The visitors center includes an artsy multimedia show in a small theater, plus exhibits of prairie plants and tools of the early woodland tribes. Family-friendly daily programs (usually at 2 p.m.) highlight topics such as Native American culture, prairies and archaeology. In fact, Native Americans still hold spiritual ceremonies in this sacred space.
The site is open seasonally Thursday through Monday between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. Call for hours and details on special events and programs. Admission is $7 for adults; $6 for seniors and college students; $5 for children ages 6-17.

Marshawn Lynch is known for being a bit reclusive and wary of speaking to the media, but Deion Sanders was able to corner him for a few minutes of screen time on NFL Network today. Things got off to a good start; Lynch just replied, "smooth" when Sanders asked him how he was feeling. "You look good," Sanders continued. "Shit, you do too," replied Lynch.
The interview dragged on a bit from there, but not before Lynch told America that he's "just about that action, boss." And just like that, Beast Mode was gone:

Series: Understanding Randomness (5 entries)
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: God and Creation (5 entries)
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action (8 entries)
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance (5 entries)
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Science is Empowering But Hard to Define
It is easy to be confused about what science is and what scientists do. In part, this is because scientists do so many different things in so many different ways.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
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".
Series: From ID to BioLogos (8 entries)
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
Series: Design in Nature (6 entries)
In this series, Oliver R. Barclay examines the idea of God as Designer. He concludes that God did indeed design creation, and that the "state of the world is evidence not only for the existence and power of God but for his kindness and care for his creation." Barclay then goes on to investigate the arguments for Intelligent Design which attempt to prove that certain examples of design necessarily imply direct intervention by a Great Designer. He points the flaws of such an argument and discusses its implications.
Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview (7 entries)
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.

Jobless Claims Dipped Last Week; Still In Range They've Been In All Year
By Mark Memmott
There were 361,000 first-time claims for unemployment insurance last week, the Employment and Training Administration says. That's down 6,000 from the week before (that previous week's total was revised up by 2,000).
Claims have stayed in a range between 350,000 and 400,000 all year. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, has also varied little: it's low this year has been 8.1 percent and the high has been 8.3 percent.
At best, economist Joel Naroff tells Bloomberg News, the labor market is "slowly but steadily improving." The Associated Press says claims are running at a level consistent with only "modest gains in hiring."
