Sen. John McCainJohn McCainDrug importation won't save dollars or lives Dem rep Charlie Crist files for divorce Why the GOP cannot sweep its Milo scandal under the rug MORE (R-Ariz.) delivered a stinging indictment of the Obama administration's Syria policy in an impassioned floor speech on Wednesday.
McCain, a longtime proponent of arming the Syrian rebels, displayed graphic photos of some of the 11,000 political prisoners believed to have been executed by the Assad regime since the uprising began almost three year ago. He accused the president of betraying his own promise to work to prevent mass atrocities during speeches at the U.S. Holocaust Museum and the United Nations National Assembly.
"Where is President Obama who has said he refuses to accept that brutal tyrants can slaughter their people with impunity while the most powerful nation in the history of the world looks on and stands by?" McCain said. "Where is the recognition that 'the cold logic of mass graves' is right there – right there in front of us, in Syria today?"
McCain went on to say that the administration was showing "bad faith" with its repeated claims that it is playing a central role in trying to end the conflict. The administration has committed $1.7 billion in humanitarian assistance – more than any other nation – and Secretary of State John Kerry brokered the ongoing peace talks with the U.N. and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov.
"Our government is doing what we have sadly done too often in the past. We are averting our eyes," McCain said. "We try to comfort our guilty consciences by telling ourselves that we are not doing nothing, but it is a claim made in bad faith, for everyone concedes that nothing we are doing is equal to the horrors we face."
The speech comes just a day after Obama himself acknowledged that a second round of talks between the Assad regime and the opposition are "far from achieving" a positive outcome.
"The state of Syria itself is crumbling," Obama said at a joint press conference with French President Francois Hollande. "That is bad for Syria. It is bad for the region. It is bad for global national security, because what we know is, is that there are extremists who have moved into the vacuum in certain portions of Syria in a way that could threaten us over the long term."

Medical Practice Fired Receptionist Who Complained About Pregnancy Discrimination, Federal Agency Charges
BALTIMORE - A large Annapolis, Md.-based internal medicine practice violated federal law when it fired a receptionist because of her pregnancy and in retaliation for her complaints about pregnancy discrimination, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it announced today.
One day after starting work at Annapolis Internal Medicine as a medical receptionist, Elizabeth Rodriguez disclosed her pregnancy when the medical practice's clinical supervisor was administering to her an influenza vaccination. Despite Rodriguez's request not to tell others of her pregnancy just yet, the clinical supervisor told the office manager that Rodriguez was pregnant. The clinical supervisor then treated Rodriguez more harshly than other employees because of her pregnancy, the EEOC charges.
When Rodriguez complained to the office manager about the adverse treatment, the manager did not address the pregnancy discrimination complaint. Instead, the manager reprimanded Rodriguez and wrote in a counseling warning, that Rodriguez "… had to be honest about her condition to us," and that the manager "was somewhat disappointed with her for not letting me know about her condition," the EEOC said.
The clinical supervisor continued to treat Rodriguez more harshly, including subjecting her to an unwarranted disciplinary action, verbal abuse and physical intimidation, the EEOC said. Annapolis Internal Medicine terminated Rodriguez because of her pregnancy and in retaliation for her complaints about the pregnancy discrimination, according to the lawsuit.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Annapolis Internal Medicine, Civil Action No. 1:13-cv-02831-ELH) in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. In its lawsuit, the EEOC seeks injunctive relief prohibiting the medical practice from engaging in sex discrimination, including pregnancy discrimination, and retaliation, as well as lost wages, compensatory and punitive damages for Rodriguez, and other affirmative relief.
"It is not somehow 'dishonest' if a woman does not reveal her pregnancy during a job interview," said EEOC Philadelphia District Director Spencer H. Lewis, Jr. "The law is clear - a woman simply does not have to disclose her pregnancy before or after being hired and an employer shall not make employment decisions based on pregnancy."
EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence added, "Every woman has the right to equal employment opportunities. Instead of addressing Ms. Rodriguez's complaints about pregnancy discrimination, the medical practice compounded the problem by retaliating against her and firing her, and that is why we filed this lawsuit."
The Philadelphia District Office of the EEOC oversees Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and parts of New Jersey and Ohio.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the Commission is available at its website, www.eeoc.gov.

Jordan Valve is proud to announce the introduction of the Jordan Control Valve Series. We are excited about the new additions to our Jordan Valve product portfolio, as the JCVS greatly enhances our industrial control valve offering. We now offer globe style control valves to 24" in a variety of materials, pressures to ANSI 2500, noise mitigation and anti-cavitation trims. Additionally, we have a rotary V-ball available in 2" - 12", actuators, positioners and other accessories.
Cincinnati - Jordan Valve is proud to announce the addition of two new valves to our line - the Mark 5108 back pressure regulating/sustaining valve and the Mark 6127 pressure reducing valve. These valves are hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated for multi-function control of non-corrosive, non-abrasive fluids. Available in globe or angle configuration, these piloted valves operate off line pressure or, if desired, from an independent power source. These specialty products add additional product breadth to our Jordan Valve offering.
The Mark 5108 Series - in many liquid piping systems, it is vital that line pressure be maintained within relatively narrow limits. The Mark 5108 is designed to do just that. The Mark 5108 can act as a back pressure / sustaining valve, bypass pressure control valve or a surge / relief valve.
The Mark 6127 Series - the primary function of the Mark 6127 is to reduce a greater upstream pressure to a lesser, more manageable downstream pressure, operating without regard to either upstream supply or downstream demand.
To learn more about the Mark 5108 and Mark 6127, please contact your local representative or distributor.
Cincinnati - The Mark 75HW is a manually operated, sliding gate control valve. The wafer style body provides great value for the end user while offering all of the benefits of the sliding gate seat. The hand wheel operator allows the user to manually position the valve for optimum flow and lock in place. The valve is available in 1", 1-1/2" and 2" sizes.
The Mark 75HW offers an incredible pricing advantage in the market place due to its wafer style body. A 2" Mark 75HW valve is only 1.76" (44,7mm) face-to-face comparison to a 2" Class 150 globe style control valve with a face-to-face of 10" (254mm). What does this mean to you? You pay for less metal to make the valve. In the case above, 8.24" (209,3mm) of metal! The actual material is only part of the savings. You pay less for machining time; even shipping costs are reduced due to the lighter weight.
The Mark 75HW features a 'T' slot design connection to the disc. This connection allows for quick and easy reversing of functions. Instead of having to go into the actuator to change action, all that is needed in a Mark 75HW is to turn the seats 180°. With this simple rotation, the valve can go from reverse acting to direct acting (or vice versa).
The stroke length of the Mark 75HW is a slightly longer stroke than standard sliding gate valves. This longer stroke enables better turndown. Combined with the capacity of the Mark 75HW, the increased turndown makes for a great control valve.
To learn more about the Mark 75HW, contact your local representative or distributor.

Gore Bike Wear's Fusion line is made with its finest fabrics for the hardcore mountain biker. The main body of the Fusion Trail short is nylon, which Gore used because of its strength and abrasion-resistance. It also wicks moisture and breathes well to keep you dry and comfortable. A wind- and spray-protection panel in the crotch and center back areas keeps you from soaking through as quickly in wet weather. Gore also added mesh vent panels to promote airflow through the short.
The removable liner short is Gore's Inner Tights Pro Plus. Made with nylon and elastane, the liner is tough and stretchy for comfort and an unlimited range of motion. The chamois is Gore's Power Man, the long-distance workhorse of the line. This seamless, multi-density chamois even has a special outer fabric that improves moisture absorption.
The Fusion Trail Plus short has two front hand pockets and two zippered back pockets. The partially elasticated waist with internal adjustments allows you to dial in the perfect custom fit without a bulky belt. A reflective logo on the back of the shorts makes you more visible in traffic.
The Gore Bike Wear Fusion Trail Plus Short comes in sizes Small through XX-Large. It's available in Graphite Grey/black.

Previously: Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Niki was a quitter. Which leaves us with the guys bickering about their task last week. Because, even though they won, they all think it went pretty horribly with Busey in charge. Mark McGrath interviews that their win was a miracle, and had nothing to do with Busey. John Rich asks the guys to pretend they're all having fun and laughing when the women come in. Star tells the guys how classy Niki was for leaving (you say "classy," I say "quitter"), and it takes Busey twenty minutes to figure out what "classy" means. The women can't believe they lost to Busey & Co. Star says their morale is low, but they're going to regroup and win. Because this isn't fun, this is business. "Money, money, money…" Extended version, now with even more Busey choppers.
Busey gets to present $40,000 ($20K from Trump, $20K from Camping World) to his charity, Center for Head Injury Services. He wants to give back to them, since they saved his life. Next, the teams line up before Trump, the Trumplets, and Greg and Mike of a company called ACN. Busey tells Trump that this win with Backbone is equal to his Oscar win and his Golden Globe win (as if those are equal?). Their task is to create a thirty-second commercial showcasing ACN's new videophone and then to present the commercial to 450 of ACN's independent representatives, who will judge them on creativity/originality, brand messaging, and incorporating the videophone. Trump repeats this very clear message in case the teams didn't understand it. Don and Ivanka will be his eyes and ears, so now he wants to know who will be project managers: Nene steps up for ASAP because "When I make my mind up to do something, I just do it"; and Lil Jon steps up for Backbone, since he's been in commercials and directed many videos. Trump makes Nene and Lil Jon shake hands, and she gives him a kiss on the cheek. Meat Loaf says he saw Nene on TV and was afraid to meet her. Trump tells them that ACN will contribute $20,000 on top of the $20,000 Trump will give to the winner's charity. And, so we at home have something to look forward to, he reminds us that someone will be fired. Yay!
ASAP war room. ACN's videophone is already sitting there looking giant and clunky. Is it just me, or were you imagining an iPhone-style cell phone? Well, that's not this. Dionne has the idea to use her celebrity in the commercial. She'll be in the recording studio and her engineer will be somewhere else watching her on the videophone. Nene loves it, so does everyone else. Done! Backbone's meeting with the ACN executives to figure out what they should do. Lil Jon asks them what their demographic is, but they tell him not to get hung up on details. He thinks they're a little conservative, though. Then Jose asks them if they can go beyond this planet to communicating with aliens. Alien music plays as the guys look baffled, and then tell him they won't be the judges; their 450 leaders will. Then the execs meet with ASAP, who notices their use of the word "emotion" over and over again. After the executives leave, the ladies realize they have to change the concept to make it something about an emotional connection. They all agree. So … not done.

Alister McGrath Mistakes Intelligent Design for a God-of-the-Gaps Argument
BioLogos's concluding article in its series responding to Darwin's Doubt is by theologian and philosopher Alister McGrath, recently installed as the Andreas Idreos Professor at Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford. I'm a fan of much of McGrath's writings, but when it comes to intelligent design, there are problems. He has made a long series of inaccurate charges that ID is a "God of the gaps" argument. Oddly, McGrath's piece at BioLogos isn't about Darwin's Doubt at all. In fact, it doesn't mention intelligent design. Rather, it's a transcript from a talk he gave, and someone apparently added the title, "Big Picture or Big Gaps? Why Natural Theology is Better than Intelligent Design," to the speech. However BioLogos evidently intends McGrath's piece as a response to intelligent design, so I'll treat the criticisms there accordingly.
McGrath frames his critique as follows:
My own approach is not to retreat into explanatory gaps. There are those who say (and perhaps I caricature or mis-say what they say), "Well, you know, science can't explain that. But if there were a god, he could. Therefore, what science can't explain -- that is a good reason for believing in God." And part of me wants to say, "Yes!" to that. But part of me also wants to say, well, this is not a very good idea, and leaves us bereft of the richness of a vision of God. It kind of implies that you believe in God because of the tiny little holes in somebody else's explanation, which you think you can explain better in brackets -- at least for the time being. For me, it's not about saying, "Oh look! There's a gap there, and that's where God comes in!" No, no, no, it's about the big picture. That is what makes us think that the Christian faith makes sense of things.Before we get into this discussion too much, it's helpful to understand what an early "coiner" of the phrase "God of the gaps," Dietrich Bonhoeffer, wrote in defining the concept:
...[H]ow wrong it is to use God as a stop-gap for the incompleteness of our knowledge. If in fact the frontiers of knowledge are being pushed further and further back (and that is bound to be the case), then God is being pushed back with them, and is therefore continually in retreat. We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don't know; God wants us to realize his presence, not in unsolved problems but in those that are solved.By that measure, intelligent design is not in fact a "God of the gaps" argument! I first encountered this comment from Bonhoeffer in Douglas Ell's book Counting to God, which rightly praised Bonhoeffer's reasonable argument. ID does not find God, or evidence of design by any intelligent being, in "what we don't know" but rather "in what we know." The design inference is fundamentally grounded in our experience-based observations that high levels of complex and specified (CSI) information come only from intelligence. (Note: For simplicity of demonstrating the point, in the rest of this article I refer to high levels of CSI using the simpler term "information," though I recognize that there are other types "information" out there.) We find evidence for design in what we know about the causes of new information. Intelligent design is a solution to the question of the origin of information.
(Dietrich Bonhoeffer, May 30, 1944, Letters and Papers from Prison, edited by Eberhard Bethge, translated by Reginald H. Fuller, Touchstone, 1997.)
Well, what if ID were a "gaps"-based argument? What might it look like? Something like this:
To put it another way, a gaps-based argument for design would say, "Natural selection and random mutation [which we'll label "NS"] cannot produce new information, therefore intelligent design [ID] is correct."
But there's a big and crucial difference between that argument and the actual case for intelligent design made by ID proponents. An actual argument for intelligent design might be logically portrayed as follows:
In other words, "Natural selection and random mutation cannot produce new information. Intelligent agency, uniquely in our experience, can produce new information. Therefore intelligent design is the better explanation for the information we see in life." This is not a gaps-based argument. Rather, it's a positive argument for design, based upon finding in nature the type of information that in our experience only comes from intelligence. Stephen Meyer frames the basic logic of the positive argument this way in Darwin's Doubt (p. 351):
Major premise: If intelligent design played a role in the Cambrian explosion, then feature (X) known to be produced by intelligent activity would be expected as a matter of course.You'd never find that kind of logic in a "gaps-based" argument, and thus, there's a big difference between ID and a "God of the gaps" argument. ID has the necessary positive argument -- that intelligence causes high produce CSI -- which removes ID from being a "gaps-based" argument. And as we'll see, there's a lot more positive content to the design inference that can be discussed.
Minor premise: Feature (X) is observed in the Cambrian explosion of animal life.
Conclusion: Hence, there is reason to suspect that an intelligent cause played a role in the Cambrian explosion.
McGrath's Odd Formulation of a "Gaps-Based" Argument
McGrath describes a "gaps-based" argument a bit differently from the classical formulation. In the classical criticism, "god" has no positive explanatory value whatsoever, other than to fill in and make up for the failure of some scientific explanation. But McGrath is attacking a slightly different formulation, which, in his description, says "science can't explain that. But if there were a god, he could." In saying that a "god ... could" explain something, McGrath apparently tries to add a positive component to what he still labels a "gaps-based" argument." Adding the "god ... could" component, changes the dynamic of the case. Now, McGrath is no longer attacking a strictly negative "gaps-based" argument with no explanatory value. Instead he is attacking an argument with some positive explanatory value (though the mere addition of the word "could" doesn't give us much in the way of positive explanatory value). Is McGrath necessarily justified in rejecting this sort of "gaps-based" argument?
No, not necessarily. Given that BioLogos frames McGrath's article as a broadside against Meyer's arguments for intelligent design, let's say that he's rejecting the following argument: "Science can't explain that. But intelligent agency could. Therefore, what science can't explain -- that is a good reason for believing in intelligent design." This argument, which I am not making, dramatically understates the explanatory power of intelligent design. But insofar as it does resemble the argument for ID, McGrath is unjustified in rejecting it. Why? Because the "could" means that ID has some level of positive explanatory value, meaning it's not simply a "gaps-based" argument. But just how much positive explanatory value does intelligent design offer? A huge amount.
Thus, another problem with McGrath's formulation is that he dramatically understates the explanatory power of intelligent design. In Darwin's Doubt, Stephen Meyer doesn't just say that intelligent design "could" explain the information in life, but he describes many specific properties of life and the Cambrian explosion which require an explanation that could only be intelligent design. Meyer looks at both the nature of the Cambrian animals themselves, and the nature of their appearance in the fossil record, and finds a whole array of specific features which are only explained by intelligent design. Specifically, Meyer finds that "the cause of the origin of the new animal forms in the Cambrian explosion must be capable of":
- "generating new form rapidly
- generating a top-down pattern of appearance
- constructing, not merely modifying, complex integrated circuits" (p. 357)
- "digital information
- structural (epigenetic) information
- functionally integrated and hierarchically organized layers of Information" (p. 358)
Generating New Form Rapidly:
Intelligent agents have foresight. Such agents can determine or select functional goals before they are physically instantiated. They can devise or select material means to accomplish those ends from among an array of possibilities. They can then actualize those goals in accord with a preconceived design plan or set of functional requirements. Rational agents can constrain combinatorial space with distant information-rich outcomes in mind. (pp. 362-363)
Intelligent agents sometimes produce material entities through a series of gradual modifications (as when a sculptor shapes a sculpture over time). Nevertheless, intelligent agents also have the capacity to introduce complex technological systems into the world fully formed. Often such systems bear no resemblance to earlier technological systems -- their invention occurs without a material connection to earlier, more rudimentary technologies. When the radio was first invented, it was unlike anything that had come before, even other forms of communication technology. For this reason, although intelligent agents need not generate novel structures abruptly, they can do so. Thus, invoking the activity of a mind provides a causally adequate explanation for the pattern of abrupt appearance in the Cambrian fossil record. (pp. 373, 375)Generating a Top-down Pattern of Appearance:
"Top-down" causation begins with a basic architecture, blueprint, or plan and then proceeds to assemble parts in accord with it. The blueprint stands causally prior to the assembly and arrangement of the parts. But where could such a blueprint come from? One possibility involves a mental mode of causation. Intelligent agents often conceive of plans prior to their material instantiation -- that is, the preconceived design of a blueprint often precedes the assembly of parts in accord with it. An observer touring the parts section of a General Motors plant will see no direct evidence of a prior blueprint for GM's new models, but will perceive the basic design plan immediately upon observing the finished product at the end of the assembly line. Designed systems, whether automobiles, airplanes, or computers, invariably manifest a design plan that preceded their first material instantiation. But the parts do not generate the whole. Rather, an idea of the whole directed the assembly of the parts. (pp. 371-372)Constructing, Not Merely Modifying, Complex Integrated Circuits:
Integrated circuits in electronics are systems of individually functional components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors that are connected together to perform an overarching function. ... [I]n our experience, complex integrated circuits -- and the functional integration of parts in complex systems generally -- are known to be produced by intelligent agents -- specifically, by engineers. Moreover, intelligence is the only known cause of such effects. Since developing animals employ a form of integrated circuitry, and certainly one manifesting a tightly and functionally integrated system of parts and subsystems, and since intelligence is the only known cause of these features, the necessary presence of these features in developing Cambrian animals would seem to indicate that intelligent agency played a role in their origin. (p. 364)Generating New Digital Information:
Intelligent agents, due to their rationality and consciousness, have demonstrated the power to produce specified or functional information in the form of linear sequence-specific arrangements of characters. Digital and alphabetic forms of information routinely arise from intelligent agents. A computer user who traces the information on a screen back to its source invariably comes to a mind -- a software engineer or programmer. The information in a book or inscription ultimately derives from a writer or scribe. Our experience-based knowledge of information flow confirms that systems with large amounts of specified or functional information invariably originate from an intelligent source. The generation of functional information is "habitually associated with conscious activity." Our uniform experience confirms this obvious truth. (p. 360)
Rational agents can arrange both matter and symbols with distant goals in mind. They also routinely solve problems of combinatorial inflation. In using language, the human mind routinely "finds" or generates highly improbable linguistic sequences to convey an intended or preconceived idea. In the process of thought, functional objectives precede and constrain the selection of words, sounds, and symbols to generate functional (and meaningful) sequences from a vast ensemble of meaningless alternative possible combinations of sound or symbol. Similarly, the construction of complex technological objects and products, such as bridges, circuit boards, engines, and software, results from the application of goal-directed constraints. Indeed, in all functionally integrated complex systems where the cause is known by experience or observation, designing engineers or other intelligent agents applied constraints on the possible arrangements of matter to limit possibilities in order to produce improbable forms, sequences, or structures. Rational agents have repeatedly demonstrated the capacity to constrain possible outcomes to actualize improbable but initially unrealized future functions. Repeated experience affirms that intelligent agents (minds) uniquely possess such causal powers. (p. 362)Generating New Structural (Epigenetic) Information and Constructing Functionally Integrated and Hierarchically Organized Layers of Information:
After noting that "the role of epigenetic information provides just one of many examples of the hierarchical arrangement (or layering) of information-rich structures, systems, and molecules within animals," Meyer writes:
The highly specified, tightly integrated, hierarchical arrangements of molecular components and systems within animal body plans also suggest intelligent design. This is, again, because of our experience with the features and systems that intelligent agents -- and only intelligent agents -- produce. Indeed, based on our experience, we know that intelligent human agents have the capacity to generate complex and functionally specified arrangements of matter -- that is, to generate specified complexity or specified information. Further, human agents often design information-rich hierarchies, in which both individual modules and the arrangement of those modules exhibit complexity and specificity -- specified information as defined in Chapter 8. Individual transistors, resistors, and capacitors in an integrated circuit exhibit considerable complexity and specificity of design. Yet at a higher level of organization, the specific arrangement and connection of these components within an integrated circuit requires additional information and reflects further design.Meyer concludes that "both the Cambrian animal forms themselves and their pattern of appearance in the fossil record exhibit precisely those features that we should expect to see if an intelligent cause had acted to produce them" (p. 379) He sums his positive argument as follows:
Conscious and rational agents have, as part of their powers of purposive intelligence, the capacity to design information-rich parts and to organize those parts into functional information- rich systems and hierarchies. (p. 366)
When we encounter objects that manifest any of the key features present in the Cambrian animals, or events that exhibit the patterns present in the Cambrian fossil record, and we know how these features and patterns arose, invariably we find that intelligent design played a causal role in their origin. Thus, when we encounter these same features in the Cambrian event, we may infer -- based upon established cause-and-effect relationships and uniformitarian principles -- that the same kind of cause operated in the history of life. In other words, intelligent design constitutes the best, most causally adequate explanation for the origin of information and circuitry necessary to build the Cambrian animals. It also provides the best explanation for the top- down, explosive, and discontinuous pattern of appearance of the Cambrian animals in the fossil record. (p. 381)Thus we see that Meyer identifies a large breadth of features in both biology and the fossil record that are positively and uniquely explained by intelligence. ID is not the arbitrary filling of a gap. There are specific positive reasons for inferring design, based upon our observations of intelligent agents and their products. We use those observations to generate expectations and predictions about what we should find if an intelligent agent was at work in the natural world. When we find those features in the natural world, and conclude that no other natural cause can explain then, we justifiably infer design. This makes ID the opposite of a "gaps-based" argument, because we're finding in nature specific features -- in fact a whole suite of crucial features -- which we know from observation only come from intelligence. The argument has multiple strong positive components, and without the positive dimension of the argument, we cannot infer design.
After seeing all of the features of the Cambrian animals and their pattern of appearance in the fossil record that intelligent design predicts and explains, it's very difficult to accept BioLogos's and McGrath's suggestion that Meyer's extensive positive argument for design is a "God of the gaps."
Materialism of the Gaps
So why, despite ID's vast positive explanatory power, does McGrath dismiss ID as an argument based on "gaps"? Because his unwavering default position is to look exclusively to unguided material causes. He assumes methodological naturalism, and privileges material explanations in all circumstances regardless of their explanatory power. In McGrath's view, even if intelligent design has vast explanatory power, we should still not infer it, because we're filling a "gap" that ought to be filled by material causes.
In subjecting the scientific enterprise to methodological naturalism (MN), McGrath would force ID to operate under the presumption that natural causes always take precedence, regardless of whether they otherwise seem to fail. This itself is a "gaps-based" argument. McGrath assumes that material causes will eventually fill all the relevant gaps. This is not a real search for the best explanation. It's a search for the best explanation, provided that the explanation is naturalistic. It's materialism of the gaps.
ID changes our paradigm, and ID advocates take a different approach. We don't prejudge the scientific evidence, force-fitting it into the mold of methodological naturalism. Rather, using the principle of uniformitarianism, we make an "inference to the best explanation" -- even if that explanation is non-material. If natural causes are the "best explanation" than we appeal to natural causes. If intelligent causes are the "best explanation" then so be it.
This is sound scientific reasoning. I think that Meyer's inference to design in Darwin's Doubt would win Dietrich Bonhoeffer's approval.

Gregg Stokes of Reno had been paying more than $1800 dollars a month for health coverage for his wife and two kids – more than his mortgage payments.
So Stokes was looking for a better deal this open enrollment period.
"I wasn't looking for bronze, or gold I was looking in that sweet spot, a silver plan…that met my family's needs and my budget," says Stokes.
Stokes had problems enrolling through the Nevada Health Link website, so an insurance broker helped him.
"My rates went down. I got a better plan, for $400 plus dollars a month less," he says.
But monthly premiums are only one part of health care costs.
The non-profit Consumers Union says a lot of times, plans with lower premiums have higher out of pocket costs.
Julie Silas of Consumers Union says shoppers should consider how they use health care.
She says they should look at associated costs like deductibles, doctor co-pays and x-rays.
"The idea of the bronze plan is that it's going to cost less per month but how much you have to pay in services is going to be higher. And the higher premiums you pay like in a platinum plan, the less the services will cost. So that's a trade off," says Siris.
Gregg Stokes's family deductible changed in his new plan, but he says he still comes out ahead.

Southsea to Ryde with Hovertravel
My husband and I decided to take our Grandchildren on the Hovercraft as a new experience as we have taken them to the IOW on the ferry before. We had booked to go for 11.30 but unfortunately just couldn't find anywhere nearby to park and was delayed by an hour. We were allowed to travel on the next one available and the boys really enjoyed their rides. Won't do it again though because of the time wasted waiting for buses.

Overview: Deputies shot and killed Shane Hayes inside his home. His daughter filed suit against the deputies and the county for excessive force, Fourth Amendment violations, negligent wrongful death and claims against the county in addition to her own 14th Amendment rights. The district court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment. The Ninth Circuit affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded in part. The court found no violation of Hayes' or his daughter's constitutional rights. The court reversed and remanded the daughter's claims to decide if she has standing to assert survival claims based on alleged violations of Hayes' Fourth Amendment rights. Finally, the court remanded the matter to the trial court on the negligent wrongful death cause of action finding that a jury should decide if the force used was unreasonable.
Training Points: This case adds yet another layer of complexity to when officers are justified in using deadly force in possible suicide situations. What officers did before using force now will be considered in whether they acted reasonably at the time they used force. When faced with a suicidal subject, and if time permits, officers should thoroughly investigate whether there have been previous calls regarding the suicidal subject and obtain sufficient information from witnesses or through records about the suicidal subject, including previous suicidal tendencies, whether weapons were involved, current access to weapons, and whether the subject had used alcohol and/or drugs within 24 hours prior to the response.
Courts evaluate the totality of the circumstances when determining whether an officer's use of deadly force is objectively reasonable, including:
Officers should follow their agency's guidelines as it pertains to providing the suspect with a warning before using deadly force and whether such a warning is feasible.
Summary Analysis: In Hayes v. County of San Diego, a deputy responded to a domestic disturbance call and spoke to a woman, who identified herself as Hayes' girlfriend. The girlfriend told the deputy: (1) she and Hayes had been arguing about his attempt to commit suicide by inhaling exhaust fumes from his car; (2) there was no physical altercation between them; (3) she was concerned Hayes would harm himself since he had done so before; and (4) there were no guns in the house. She did not tell the deputy Hayes might be armed with a knife. The deputy did not ask her how Hayes had attempted suicide before nor did he know Hayes had previously stabbed himself with a knife. The deputy also did not ask if Hayes was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
A second deputy arrived and together, based upon their concern Hayes might harm himself, they entered the residence to check on his welfare. Prior to entering, they did not check if there were previous calls regarding Hayes and were unaware Hayes had attempted suicide with a knife four months earlier.
The deputies entered and saw Hayes with his right hand behind his back. They ordered Hayes to show his hands. Hayes raised both his hands. Deputies observed a large knife pointed tip down in Hayes' right hand. Believing Hayes was a threat to his safety, the deputy immediately drew his gun and fired two shots at Hayes. Neither deputy ordered Hayes to stop. Four seconds elapsed from the time the deputy ordered Hayes to show his hands to the time the first shot was fired. Hayes' girlfriend, who witnessed the shooting, testified Hayes was walking towards the deputies with the knife raised at the time of the shooting but was not "charging" at the deputies and had a "clueless" expression. Further, she testified that just before the shooting, Hayes said, "you want to take me to jail or you want to take me to prison, go ahead."
The court found the deputies' use of deadly force was not objectively reasonable. The court pointed out that Hayes had committed no crime and there was no evidence he was actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest. Further, Hayes was complying with the deputies' orders when he raised the knife and posed no clear threat at the time he was shot without warning. The court highlighted that the mere fact that a suspect possesses a weapon does not justify the use of deadly force. The court found it significant that Hayes was given no warning before the deputies shot him. Finally, the court held an officer's pre-shooting conduct is properly included in the totality of circumstances surrounding his/her use of force and therefore, an officer's duty to act reasonably when using deadly force extends to pre-shooting conduct.

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
