Submission + - 80,000 and Counting, Brain Implants on the Rise->
kkleiner writes: According to Medtronic, the largest manufacturer of deep brain stimulation devices, over 80,000 people around the world have a brain implant. Eighty thousand! Did the age of mental cybernetics arrive while I wasn't looking? Since 1997, deep brain stimulation (DBS) implants have slowly been gaining US FDA approval for use in patients (2002 for Parkinson's, 2003 for dystonia). These 'brain-pacers' are surgically implanted in the chest but have long lead wires that reach up through the neck and deep into the brain.

Sandro does effortless, cool, and polished like nobody's business (well, except its business, of course). And with a new insurgence of sporty appeal for spring '13, it seems like the French line is stepping up its game once again for the new season.
Aside its masterful incorporation of boxy silhouettes, track jackets, and an amazing leathery version of basketball shorts, the spring lookbook is just one part of the brand's exciting news. With the recent opening of the fourth stand-alone store in New York — this time on Spring Street — Sandro's got a lot to celebrate. Therefore, we went to the source itself, creative director Evelyne Chétrite, to find out what makes Sandro spring '13 so special. Read on and then check out the entire collection in the slides, ahead.
What's the design philosophy behind the new spring collection?
"The Pacific destinations of Los Angeles, Hawaii, and Tokyo were the main points of inspiration for this season. Hibiscus flowers, palm leaves, and orchid plants are Sandro's key prints this summer. Outfits play on transparency and print effects such as hologram Jacquard, metallic tweed, quilting, and lamé-coated fabric with straight cuts softening the silhouette, which is both chic and sport."
Those bigger, baggier, tapered jeans like the ones in your spring line is one of our favorite shapes of the season, but lots of women are averse to them because of its challenging shape. How do you wear yours?
"What I love about boyfriend jeans is that they are insanely comfortable while maintaining a high level of style — to pair with some strong feminine pieces for a nice contrast: a structured jacket, some great accessories, and a pair of sleepers!"
Do you think New York women have anything to learn from Parisian women?
"These are really hard questions to answer! When I go to NYC, I can feel this really positive energy, which I like a lot! The New York women have [their] own great sense of style. On the contrary, if we could learn anything [from] the New York women then that would be good — and I would be so pleased! I think travels are constructive — the change of air is good for everyone in order to get inspiration!"
What is the one piece in your closet that you end up wearing the most?
"A pair of jeans: either slim or boyfriend — depending on my mood!"
Where are the places in NY that you make sure to visit whenever you're in town?
"The MET and Barneys!"
Sandro, 150 Spring Street (between West Broadway and Wooster streets).

Well done! And you got the shadings right for the three dimensional look.
Incredible! You did a great job!
Remember, people will see your quilts long after you are gone....NOT your housework!
Beautiful-love your choice of colors and placement. Great job. I hate y-seams-----rank them right up there with a colonoscopy.
I pray for peace today and hope I don't have to tomorrow.

Great read. Thanks.
Great read. Thanks.
Great breakdown! I really like Bailey and Hopkins...would go nuts if we could get both.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
great stuff. would still like to see what allen could do with a competent quarterback and another WR to prevent defenses from doubling and in stanford's case, triple covering him. When you look at bailey, he has austin across from him. when you look at patterson, he has hunter across from him. when you look across at the other WR from allen, he has a guy named chris harper. maynard is also one of the worst Qb's i've ever seen in my life, and that's not an exaggeration.
and to the OP, the last chart. allen actually had 737 yards this year. so with avg qb, he would have 245 more yards?
What did Hopkins gain per catch on screens?
Twitter: @ckparrot
I think Markus Wheaton is going to have to end up in this "top tier" study. Same with Terrance Williams.
I think Cordarrelle Patterson will solidify himself as a top level prospect and may even go top 10 above where Miami is picking. I think the other guy that will sneak into the 1st round is Markus Wheaton who showed at the Senior Bowl that you wouldn't be remiss in thinking of him as another Santonio Holmes, only with DeSean Jackson's pure speed and (we hope) a better overall attitude.
It's hard to say what will happen to Keenan Allen and DeAndre Hopkins once they go to the Combine and show up as just sort of average athletes. Allen will be better than average once size is taken into consideration but I don't see him Julio Jonesing it up.
Terrance Williams' pure combination of size, speed, ball skills and production should put a floor on his draft stock at around the mid-2nd round.
Stedman Bailey remains a wildcard. As does Quinton Patton. A stronger than expected showing at the Combine from either player could vault them very high, but a weaker showing could propel either player into the 3rd round.
very well done...but there's zero doubt in my mind that keenan allen would have done much more damage down the field had he had a competent qb throwing the ball to him...so i think that really needs to be taken into consideration here...that cal qb was awful...probably don't call as many routes down the field either when the guy can't throw the ball in the ocean...
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"

Nice post. Well done.

Knee replacement surgery — also known as knee arthroplasty (ARTH-row-plas-tee) — can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints. During knee replacement, a surgeon cuts away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone and kneecap and replaces it with an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers.
The first artificial knees were little more than crude hinges. Now, you and your doctor can choose from a wide variety of designs that take into account your age, weight, activity level and overall health. Most knee replacement joints attempt to replicate your knee's natural ability to roll and glide as it bends.
The most common reason for knee replacement surgery is to repair joint damage caused by osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. People who need knee replacement surgery usually have problems walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs. They may also experience moderate or severe knee pain at rest.
As with any surgery, knee replacement surgery carries risks, including:
Although the risk of infection is low, notify your doctor immediately if you notice:
An infected knee replacement usually requires surgery to remove the artificial parts and antibiotics to kill the bacteria. After the infection is cleared, another surgery is performed to install a new knee. Your chances of a good or excellent outcome that reduces pain and improves function decline with each additional surgery.
Another risk of knee replacement surgery is failure of the artificial joint. Subjected to daily stress, even the strongest metal and plastic parts eventually wear out. You're at a greater risk of joint failure if you put more stress on the joint with high-impact activities or excessive weight.
An orthopedic surgeon performs knee replacement procedures. Before the procedure, the surgeon takes your medical history and performs a physical examination to assess your knee's range of motion, stability and strength. X-rays can help determine the extent of knee damage.
Knee replacement surgery requires anesthesia to make you comfortable during surgery. Your input and personal preference help the team decide whether to use general anesthesia, which renders you unconscious during the operation, or spinal or epidural anesthesia, during which you are awake but can't feel any pain from your waist down.
Your doctor or anesthesiologist may advise you to stop taking certain medications and dietary supplements before your surgery. You'll likely be instructed not to eat anything after midnight before your surgery.
For several weeks after the procedure, you may need the assistance of crutches or a walker. Make advance arrangements for transportation home from the hospital and help with everyday tasks such as cooking, bathing and doing laundry. If you live alone, your surgeon's staff can suggest a temporary caretaker.
To make your home safer and easier to navigate during recovery, consider making the following improvements:
During the procedure, your knee is in a bent position so that all surfaces of the joint are fully exposed. After making an incision about 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 centimeters) in length, your surgeon moves aside your kneecap and cuts away the damaged joint surfaces.
After the joint surfaces are prepared, the surgeon inserts and attaches the pieces of the artificial joint. Before closing the incision, he or she bends and rotates your knee, testing and balancing it to ensure that it functions properly. Expect knee replacement surgery to last about two hours.
After surgery, you're wheeled to a recovery room for one to two hours. You're then moved to your hospital room, where you typically stay for a couple of days before going home. You may feel some pain, but medications prescribed by your doctor should help control it.
During the hospital stay, you're encouraged to move your foot and ankle, which increases blood flow to your leg muscles and helps prevent swelling and blood clots. You may need to receive blood thinners and wear support hose or compression boots to further protect against swelling and clotting.
The day after surgery, a physical therapist shows you how to exercise your new knee. During the first few weeks after surgery, you're more likely to experience a good recovery if you follow all of your surgeon's instructions concerning wound care, diet and exercise. Your physical activity program needs to include:
Most people who have a knee replacement experience significant pain relief, improved mobility and a better overall quality of life. Talk with your doctor about what you can expect from knee replacement surgery.
Four to six weeks after knee replacement surgery, you generally can resume most normal daily activities such as shopping and light housekeeping. Driving is also possible at around four weeks if you can bend your knee far enough to sit in a car and you have enough muscle control to properly operate the brakes and accelerator.
After you've recovered, you can enjoy a variety of low-impact activities, such as walking, swimming, golfing or biking. But you should avoid higher impact activities — such as jogging, skiing, tennis, and sports that involve contact or jumping. Talk to your doctor about your limitations.

Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
If the cartilage in just one of the knee's sections becomes damaged, Mayo Clinic surgeons can sometimes replace just the damaged section instead of the whole knee joint. Recovery is easier than with total knee replacement, but the results may not last as long, because arthritis could develop in other areas of the knee.
Minimally invasive techniques allow surgeons to replace a knee using smaller incisions. This usually results in less pain and a quicker recovery. But minimally invasive knee replacement requires special surgical training, and it may not work for everyone. Your orthopedic surgeon will determine whether you're a good candidate for the minimally invasive approach.
Some Mayo Clinic surgeons use a computer-guided robotic arm during knee replacement surgeries. This device helps the surgeon remove as little bone as possible and precisely align the artificial joint to the bone.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.

It's not cool to be hot.
If it's hot out, and you're not wearing a base layer, you're doing it wrong. A proper base layer, like the Castelli Seamless Sleeveless Base Layer, will efficiently manage moisture and actually keep you cooler.
To achieve the aforementioned, Castelli constructed the base layer from two fabrics, polypropylene and nylon. As you might imagine, the materials express a duality to the base layer's function -- pulling and drying. Accordingly, the inner-layer is comprised of the polypropylene material. This fabric effectively pulls moisture away from the skin, transferring it to the outer-layer of nylon. Why nylon? Because its lightweight, airy composition is an efficient evaporator, drying quicker than most materials. So, instead of simply soaking in your sweat, the base layer keeps you cooler by evaporating moisture next to the skin. This has been furthered by the three different mesh patterns on the base layer. Taking anatomy into account, this system maintains a consistently open mesh in order to provide the most ventilation possible. Accordingly, this keeps you cooler, as well. Don't believe us? It's time for an experiment. Blow on the back of your hand while dry, and now blow on the same spot after applying a minimal amount of moisture? Cooler right? Well, that's basically the principle behind this base layer.
The Castelli Seamless Sleeveless Base Layer is available in the color White and in the sizes Small/medium, Larg/x-large, and XX-Large.

What do you think of the
Castelli Seamless Base Layer - Sleeveless - Men's
? Share a...
Very cool
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Very confortable, it didnt stink as other baselayers
I'm right between the medium and large; what size should I order? I normally wear medium jerseys, but the occasional large for euro brands. The small being paired with the medium has me worried!
Brendon B.
I typically wear M jerseys as well. I'm 6' 160lbs and the S/M fits great. The mesh material can stretch a lot and the length is good.
Steven De Silva
Great base layer
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Castelli's Seamless base layer is great! I am 5'8 - 5'9 165lbs and I have a stocky short torso.
The base layer is very true to size for Castelli's line of cycling gear. It sits well around the neck, sleeves and hip area. Its snug enough to wear over my jerseys without discomfort.
The material is fairly thicker than the base layers I am familiar with but even in summer Southern Californias Summer weather the layer does it jobs with ease.
It feels very sturdy even through all the washes it has endured so I am very pleased.
John Heineken
What size did you buy Steven??
Steven De Silva
Sorry for the late reply. I bought a Medium sized base layer!
John Heineken
YES, a must have in the Summer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
OK, I finally purchased this piece... This fish-net like baselayer is very effective in warm weather exactly as Blder 7 describes below. This garment is designed to keep you cool in warm and hot weather by holding your jersey *off* your skin. Every serious rider should consider owning a garment like this for riding in warm weather.
This vest baselayer combined with a well-ventilated summer or climber's jersey make a GREAT combination. You will run cooler!
FIT: I'm 5'9" and 180. I bought the L/XL. It fits fine but it is really long (better for those over 5'11"). I should have bought the S/M. This fishnet-like vest will stretch around the torso.
Otherwise, love it!

??? ??????.
이번에 카스텔리에서 Sleeveless Base Layer를 구입했는데, 착용감이 너무 좋아 벌써 부터 여름이 기다려집니다.
절대 강력 추천하는 품목입니다. ^^
Yes I agree completely
Perry Taylor
Does this base layer provide sun protection?...
Does this base layer provide sun protection? i.e. can I use it under the Climbing jersey and not worry about getting a sunburn?
Hi Perry,
The Castelli Seamless Men's Sleeveless Base Layer would not provide adequate sun protection.
It has a very open mesh weave that would expose the skin to the sun.
Blder Seven
Must have in summer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This base layer is like having air conditioning in the summer! It creates space between your body and your jersey to allow air to flow in between and cool your skin. It also pulls the sweat off your body. Makes a big difference when riding in 90-100 degree temps. I am 6'3", 195 lbs and went with the L/XL as the piece stretches and you want it to fit tight.
John Heineken
B7, which is better? Castelli's "seamless" baselayer above... or Castelli's "core mesh" vest baselayer? They seem almost identical.
According to CC, the seamless has different mesh patterns to breath better in key areas.
Blder Seven
I own both the seamless and core mesh and prefer the seamless on hot days. The seamless is thicker, but that allows more air to pass through between your jersey and your skin. The core mesh still does it's job, but the seamless is a few notches above.
Chris S
A better view of the baselayer
As you can see from the open mesh, it's nothing like a t-shirt baselayer. Looks pro with a jersey, though.
Chris S
This baselayer won't overheat you
I never would have thought that a baselayer would be a good thing to have, but a crash where I got road rash on my back showed me otherwise. An extra layer might have spared me a week of road rash healing.
But...a baselayer for hot weather? Crazy! But not really. The mesh construction lets air flow freely, helping keep me cool. Most telling, my torso feels reasonably dry during the ride but when I take the jersey off it's soaked. So the baselayer transfers sweat outward.
The material's stretchy, so as small as these are they're more forgiving than they look. But don't wear these minus the jersey unless you want weird looks.

Replacement of all decorative plants with evergreen fruitful plants
I think it is a great waste when our planet is facing such massive pollution, that people and organizations use merely decorative plants in their gardens, plots or parks. Such plants may not have leaves during the whole year which means they aren't cleaning the air during the whole year. These plants are, generaly, not producing anything edible or useful. How good it would be if people cultivated evergreen fruit bearing plants only, or mostly, even if it is for an aesthetical purpose? Around the Mediteranean sea, for example, carob trees and olive trees are evergreen and produce very useful fruits with economical value. Imagine a school replace all its acacias with carob trees. Students could pick up carob and the school would sell it. Then students would be let to propose and choose different projects for the school or community financed by the money from the carob harvest.
Barry Palmer
Jun 1 2013: In the USA, and probably in other wealthy countries, the whole point of decorative plants is that they require very little maintenance. People choose decorative plants because they do not want the bother of harvesting fruits.
- +4
This does seem silly, especially at public schools, where the whole experience of caring for plants and harvesting food would be a good educational experience. Of course, we could not implement that in the USA because the food lobbyists would fight it.
adesh saxena
Jun 3 2013: Hi Yavor, what's the role of happiness in your life?
- +2
Happiness , which these decorative plants provide
are as necessary as air and food for survival.
Jun 3 2013: Hi Adesh. Of course hapiness is the most important thing in life but the hapiness of all is even more important. Of course it is more important to have clear air than having more flowers or beautiful decorative plants. On the other hand food is necessary for hapiness and even if you don't need fruits if you plant them in your garden instead of simply decorative plants, you can give these fruits to somebody who needs them. Even if you consume them yourself you are reducing your carbon foot print.
I understand Adesh. Decorative plants are a kind of a fruit for the eyes for those who are sensitive enough. But in my opinion decoration should come after specific needs such as cleaner air and more fruits to eat or herbs to make tea or medicines of. Of course we won't destroy decorative plants but evergreen fruitful plants can be beautiful too.
Anton Holzer
Jun 4 2013: The thing is, even those plants that create food for you are quite beautiful. Maybe not as much as flowers, but in their own way. Harvesting and eating something you planted and nursed is very rewarding. It's like doing and enjoying the same thing you already do and adding a new layer of happiness on top of it.
- +1
It teaches us how much work and care is inside the food we consume every day and helps us to appreciate and value the efforts of a farmers work. Even when some of my plants don't yield any fruits, I still cherish the experiences I made in the process. And I think everyone who takes care of decorative plants, should at least try to harvest his own food once in his life, it's worth the effort.
Jun 3 2013: Love the Idea!
- +1
My local council has just spend thousands planting useless gingko trees (a once near extinct species from one valley in Australia) all down our high street. Whats the deal with that when my city is famous for its apple and pears?
Jun 4 2013: It's never a mistake to grow rare plants , especially when you do it at a place that was once their natural habitat.
But people tend to over exaggerate certain stuff. Sometimes to much of something good can do more harm than good.Jun 5 2013: MR T, I think best for nearly extinct species is to multiply them in nature and protect them there. In my view cities are a great place to plant fruit bearing and evergreen (if possible) trees. I think in some parts of Australia citruses can grow. So why not a council there spending thousands on planting a mixture of mandarines and oranges for example. Why not even ask every citizen to plant a citrus tree in front of his property and spend the thousands saved on helping families in need? Thats my opinion :)

We have a new law coming in the EU which will probably make your idea illegal... If you haven't heard about the new seed laws check this article, this is really relevant and will destroy your day... sorry about that but the bitterest truth is better then the sweetest lie.
Jun 3 2013: Hi Jimmy. Thanks for commenting. I find this law disgusting and anti-democratic. But I guess you can plant trees that don't loose their leaves on autumn and that give fruits without breaking the law as long as their seeds are approved. I hope so, at least.Jun 2 2013: Yavor,
Your idea is basically good, and perhaps it would be beneficial to replace some decorative plants with fruit trees. Are you aware that many of the so called "decorative" plants have benefits other than simply decoration? Many of the plants thought of as decorative, are herbs, which can be used.
I have friuts, vegetables, herbs and perrenials in the gardens, and the pollinators usually go to the brightly colored "decorative" plants for nurishment. In fact, friends who live about a 1/4 of a mile away have bees, which are usually hanging out in my gardens. I know it is their bees because they are a different species than what is native to this area. So, apparently, the ornamentals, or decorative plants are also contributing to the production of honey.
What do you think about balance, as the most beneficial plan?
Fabian Ted
Jun 2 2013: You touch a fundamental problem with the suggestion. How do we classify plants whether to be useful or not? I would not dare to label any plant to be useless.
- +2
When looking into the real world it almost looks like what is happening is the opposite. They are banning stinning nettles in france because people find them too useful. They arent even allowed to talk about its benefits. Or just look at what happened to one of our most valuable plants: hemp.
Still, I really like the suggestion and we should not judge an idea on whether we think it can be done.
Jun 2 2013: Hi Fabian!
How do we classify plants whether to be useful or not?
There is a lot of information "out there" regarding all kinds of plants. I simply read, experimented, talked with people and learned about plants for the last 60+ years......education:>)
There are SO many plants growing wild, for example, that are edible. There are plants that have medicinal qualities, and it's been proven that many herbs have antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and antioxident elements. These are many of the so-called decorative plants. People just need to learn about plants.....don't you think?Jun 3 2013: You are right Colleen. Many plants benefits go beyond edible fruits but unfortunetely very few know about that.
I am really glad for all of the contributions made here. It seems like an interesting issue is being discussed here. But I have to clarify my point. I am not defending that all plants, if they are not fruitful, should be replaced with fruitful and evergreen ones. I defend that plants in peoples gardens and in cities, schools and etc., and public parks should be as much as possible evergreen and fruitful so that economical advantage for all can be combined with more efficient carbon off setting. I wasn't aware of the usefulness of other plants to the ecosystems and animals, and even to humans, that go beyond esthethics, but we can leave the wild as it is. As regarding plants that cannot grow everywhere as carob trees and olive trees, I suggest a local equivalent may be available. Even pine trees can bring economical advantage like their nuts. :) But in any case I am more aware of some limitations this idea may have. Thanks

Jun 2 2013: Hi ZX!
There are lots of dwarf fruit trees....apple, pear, (I even have an olive tree in the greenhouse, which I brought back from Greece years ago),etc., that grow well in pots. Unless you have pollinators flying around inside your house, or are willing to hand pollinate the plants, I advise putting them outside:>)
Comment deleted
Jun 2 2013: Yeah ZX....olives don't like frosty weather! Mine stays in the greenhouse, which is attached to the house. They are very lovely. I think strawberries need pollination...don't they? I've never tried to grow them inside. You can grow tomato plants inside, and hand pollinate them.....I've done that before.
Fabian Ted
Jun 1 2013: I like the general idea. However, I do not agree with the implicit assumption that decorative plants do not produce anything useful.
- +1
Personally, I follow a similar approach in my personal life my window being full of green herbs, hardly any decorative plants.
Finally, I think that focusing on your idea might be not very efficient in increasing the global food and population problems. Keep in mind, there is enough food on this planet to feed all of us. It is just not evenly distributed.
Those, who really do hunger will probably also eat some of the plants you consider only-decorative. Places in which a lot of decorative plants are wasting space might be not the ones where food is needed.
Jun 3 2013: Fabian. You raise important issues. I think of this idea more as a way to fight an opportunity cost that is paid when people decide to plant decorative plants instead of fruitful and evergreen ones. So it is not a solution to world famine, you are right, but it is a way to make better use of public and city gardens and parks as well as private ones, at least in my perspective. I guess that even in poor countries states and public institutions plant decorative trees instead of ones that could be useful to the citizens in need. In the economicaly better situated countries people love a beautiful flower but it the end one must understand it is important to grow plants that are more useful to the whole planet.Jun 3 2013: In each ecosystem every species usually have it's own usefulness. Biodiversity is also needed for an balanced ecosystem that's what I know. Crowding ecosystem with one or the other type of species on the basis of economic value may not be an good idea at the end. However its a mere hypothesis which need to be proven or dis proven.Jun 3 2013: I think it's a good idea to replace decorative plants with plants that you or your family can use. For example, I planted tomatoes, ball-peppers and herbs on my balcony and think I'll plant salad too. You can plant food for your animals or other vegetables. I think strawberries consume very little space and potatoes should be easy to grow if you have some space for them. I don't know which of those plants can be grown indoor in the shade. Would be really good if there were some suggestions which fruits or vegetables can be grown indoor and or on little space.
Jun 3 2013: Yeah... Anton you can easily grow aromatic herbs on your balcony, even some onions or strawberries. You can even make levels of big plastic bottles cut half connected with ropes as to save space by planting verticaly.
Jun 4 2013: I tried onions, but failed with them. I've seen the plastic bottle idea before. You can cut a whole in the middle of a bottle, fill it up with earth and insert a plant. You can connect a couple of those bottles with a rope, drill a hole in the bottom and lose the top. If you water the top bottle, it will drip down the hole and water the lower bottles too. That way you can create a curtain of bottles with plants in them. Useful if you have limited space but can hang them up on the outer side of the balcony. You can plant on a shelf on the walls too, turning the pots towards the sun. It increases the amount of space for planting and your gain. Or you could fill up plastic bags with earth, cut small holes in the sides, place your plants and hang them up. There are quite a few nice ideas out there, maybe it's time to collect them and try to plant as much food on our available space as we can.
I love my plants and being able to harvest something I've grown in my flat or on my balcony is an extremely rewarding experience.
EDIT:Almost forgot, radish works too.
Maybe you should start with your plants indoor and after they reached a certain size to move them outdoor. That way you can grow them to a certain size inside and give them the space and sunlight they need for fruits. Creating some kind of rotation where you are able to harvest more frequently by not planting at the same time and by moving plants from the inside to the outside at a specific time.

Series: Responding to "Laudato Si'" by Pope Francis (4 entries)
Pope Francis's June 2015 encyclical has stirred international conversation on how science and faith come together on the question of ecology and climate change. This short series features several responses from friends of BioLogos, including world-renowned Christian climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. The series concludes with closing thoughts by BioLogos content manager Jim Stump.
Gene Editing in Human Embryos
We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.
Through Science to God: Eugenics as Religion
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
Origins News Round-Up for May 28, 2014
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Interview with Ronald Osborn
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
Origins News Roundup for May 14, 2014
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Origins News Roundup for May 2, 2014
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
"The Language of God" Book Club – Chapters 1 & 2
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
Human Moral Responsibility and the Sciences of the Mind
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
Series: The Faith of a Great Scientist: Robert Boyle's Religious Life, Attitudes, and Vocation (13 entries)
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part 4
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
Science and Scientism in Biology: The Origin of Morality
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis (4 entries)
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling (4 entries)
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.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Science as an Instrument of Worship, Part 3
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.

Hurry! Expires !
Our trees will come to you topped off at approx. 3 ft in height to put the tree's stored energy first into root development vs. foliage production.
When placing your orders for potted tree/plants, please be aware that AS SOON as the potted tree/plants are available to ship (Dec. for trees, Jan. for plants), we will begin shipping IMMEDIATELY - no matter where you are located !!!
There are several factors why we must ship immediately:
When your order arrives, you should remove it from the outside elements before nightfall. If you will not be present at the destination when the order will be delivered, you should either ship the order to another location or make sure someone will be there to take care of your order.
While your order is hardy enough to withstand freezing temperatures in its box, you definitely should not leave it outside in sub-zero temperatures for days on end.
AS IMPORTANTLY, you then need to open the box, remove the potted tree/plants from their shipping box, store them in a basement, cellar or garage, and keep them moist until you are able to plant them in the ground in Spring.
Only available to customers who have purchased their bare root trees directly from PVF&GS.
Organic Gardening Resource Center - Your Source Since 1976!
Kiwi fruit grow on vigorous vines. Grow them on trellises or espalier them along fences or walls for ornamental landscaping that also delivers fruit high in Vitamin C. Hardy kiwi vines, like the Issai, will produce smooth fruit in a range of climates in USDA zones 4-9. Issai is also a convenient vine since it is self-fruitful (meaning it produces both male and female flowers).
Want the familiar fuzz? Find those on our tender kiwi vines. Even the tender vines need some winter chill, so they do best in USDA zones 7-9. You'll need at least one male (Tomuri) and one female (Vincent) vine for pollination. Remember, the prime requirements for kiwis are good drainage and ample water. Pull any perennial weeds from the site. In our video Tricia added a sprinkler to her drip irrigation system to give her vine the moist, but not waterlogged, soil it needs for good root growth. Water is key for kiwis to bear their heavy crops.
Even though the Issai vines are winter hardy while dormant, in their youth those vines can be winter killed. In the wintertime it's a good idea to wrap the trunk of the hardy kiwi vine while it is 1 - 4 years old.
Kiwi vines will cooperate with a number of trellising styles. You can plant them at the corners of a large arbor, train them along trellises, or grow them espalier style along fences. Choose your support system and install it before you plant the kiwi vines. The hardy kiwi vines we carry are moderately vigorous and will grow about 6' - 12' a year, much less than their tender, fuzzy cousins that can grow as much as 30' in a year.

SIMPLE SYRUP or SUGAR SYRUP or BAR SYRUP
Simple syrup is used in cocktails instead of granulated sugar (even superfine sugar), which does not dissolve well in cold liquids. There are many flavored sugar syrups on the market. You can flavor your own with vanilla, liqueur, etc. for drinks, to brush on cake for more flavor and to sweeten tea and coffee—iced or hot. Here's a simple syrup recipe so you can make your own. See also bar syrup.
SORGHUM SYRUP or MOLASSES
SUGAR BUSH or SUGAR ORCHARD
The Arabs brought sugar to Europe through Spain, and the first Spanish explorers carried it to the New World. Around 1500, sugar plantations were begun in the Canary Islands and the West Indies. Prior to the introduction of sugar, the only sweetener was honey (maple syrup was known to a Native American population and agave to the native Mexican populations, but few others had tried them). To get sugar, the cane is crushed, producing cane juice, which is clarified and concentrated through heating and evaporation. The raw sugar crystals are separated from the remaining syrup (molasses) by centrifuge. Chemicals are used to remove impurities, whiten the product, and crystallize it into the perfect size. In the end, what began as 14% sucrose is now 99% to 100% sucrose, or table sugar. The processing of sugar from sugar beets was perfected in the 1800s, which meant that people in non-tropical climates could have a native supply of sugar. But as global trading grew and the price of sugar became affordable to middle and lower income families, beet sugar farming waned.

Creating a bird-friendly environment is simply a matter of providing the creature comforts we all crave: food, protective cover, and a cozy spot for raising a family.
A diversity of trees, shrubs, and other plants, as well as ground covers and vines, offers a complete package for backyard bird habitation. Invite birds into your backyard and start enjoying a front-row view of nature's winged wonders.
Understanding a bird's preferences will help you determine which plants to grow. Different plants will provide for different needs, whether that bounty is in the form of seeds, fruits, nuts, or nectar, as well as for a host of plant-munching caterpillars and insects. A garden filled with a mixture of plants producing flowers, seeds, berries, and nuts will always attract the largest number and variety of birds.
- For example, seed-eating birds, including goldfinches, chickadees, and towhees, will seek out seed heads from an assortment of flowering plants and ornamental grasses. Any daisy-like flowers such as sunflowers, asters, and black–eyed Susans, in addition to rudbeckias, zinnias, and echinaceas, would be good choices.
- Finches, sparrows, and nuthatches are a few of the birds that will flock to marigolds, cosmos, coreopsis, goldenrod, phlox, and a wide selection of salvias.
- Hummingbirds are happy with nectar from bee balm, geraniums, veronicas, delphiniums, and penstemons.
Remember, too, that birds are attracted to seasonal food. They will stay longer in your garden if it contains plants that flower or fruit at different times of the year.
- For example, hollies and roses provide winter fruit.
- Serviceberries and chokecherries offer late–spring berries.
- Blueberries and mulberries bear summer fruit.
- Honeysuckle and pyracantha round out the fruit season in the fall.
Plants that provide shelter—a safe haven from predators, protective cover from harsh weather, or a cozy spot, whether to nest or just settle in for the night—appeal to just about any bird, regardless of food preference. But a plant that provides food and shelter says, "Come on in."
- Pine trees provide evergreen shelter enjoyed by many birds as well as nourishing pine seeds favored by chickadees.
- Low-growing junipers not only hide birds from imminent danger, but also offer an insect buffet for ground–insect feeders such as wrens, towhees, and juncos, in addition to providing a bevy of berries for titmice and waxwings.
- Some vines and shrubs (like Virginia creeper, clematis, service berry, and privet) are also multifunctional plants. Towhees, larks, and sparrows enjoy the seed heads of their spent flowers, while fruit-eating birds such as robins, thrushes, and tanagers gorge on their berries. These vines and shrubs also provide a safe haven.
As you develop your garden, consider grouping your plants in layers. You'll be creating a multilevel habitat of food and shelter for a variety of birds, whether they feed on the ground, in trees and bushes, or in the air.
- Include fruit-bearing shrubs, deciduous trees, and evergreens of all heights in your upper layers.
- At ground level, consider planting ground covers as well as petite perennials and annuals.
- Fill the layers in between with perennials, annuals, ornamental grasses, and low-growing shrubs.
(See Related Articles above for a list of great Shrubs and Trees for Birds.)
When it all comes together, your garden just may become a bird's favorite place to be!

Our range includes some gorgeous designs from Definitions, Myleene Klass and Vero Moda, so you can dress up in fabulous fuschia, play it cool in ruched navy or hit the town in an eye-popping print as you choose. Tall and Petite sizes ensure there's a cut to suit everyone, so whether you want a full-length design or a daring mini, you can make sure your skirt fits you perfectly.
It's all in the Detail
We love the geometric prints that are taking over this season - just add a block colour shirt for a look that's smart, sophisticated and on-trend. Our A-line skirts create a sweetly feminine look for casual days out, while dipped hem designs give off a more bohemian vibe that's perfect for long summer days. Maxi skirts can be taken from day to night simply by swapping sandals for wedges - look for a design with a side split to add some glamour to your look. Going out, staying in or hitting the town, these skirts will help you dress for every occasion.
