5 Dividend Stocks to Buy in July
Nothing's better than cold, hard cash. Dividends are one way investors can boost the amount of physical cash they have rolling in the door every month or quarter.
With that in mind, we asked five Fools to reveal the one dividend stock they believe is a good buy for investors right now.
: NorthStar Realty Finance just spun off its asset management arm, and is now run externally. The move obscures a huge dividend at this well-diversified commercial REIT.
Look at just the public finance sites and you're already behind the game. You have dig into the filings to see the near 9% yield that NorthStar is offering. Management is projecting $1.58-$1.70 in funds from operations (FFO) this year, and if the REIT pays out the 90% that it did in the first quarter -- or about $1.50 per share annually -- then investors are looking at a forward yield of 9%.
Currently at a price/FFO of around 10 times, the market is pricing almost no growth into this dividend payer, belying its history as a solid performer. Over the next year, I think investors could see a 50% total return with low downside.
Eric Volkman: If you had to choose two words to put together to get an investor excited, "data center," would likely not be the selection. But data centers are a vital and ever-growing feature of the IT landscape, and there's no better company to take advantage of their potential than REIT Digital Realty Trust .
The firm holds 131 properties in the U.S. and abroad, which collectively offer virtually any service a tenant might need. Digital Realty Trust just keeps growing, with funds from operations coming in at $1.22 per share in its most recent quarter, up from $1.16 the preceding quarter, and $1.10 in the quarter prior to that. The dividend yield is sweet, at 5.7%, but might not stay that high for long -- the company is making a gradual recovery from a share price dive at the end of last year.
Matthew Frankel: My top dividend stock for July is Realty Income .
The company has a large and diverse portfolio of properties, with more than 200 tenants representing 47 different industries. Not only is Realty Income's dividend impressive at nearly 5%, but there is also the convenience of monthly payments, which is great for long-term compounding as well as for those who need current income. The dividend has also been increased for 67 consecutive quarters, including the worst recession in recent history.
In addition to the growing dividend, shareholders also benefit from rising property values, which lets Realty Income collect more rent from its tenants. In fact, since going public in 1994, Realty Income has averaged a remarkable 16.7% annual total return, consistently beating the S&P 500. Without a doubt, this is the best way to get consistent, rising income from real estate in your portfolio.
Wayne Duggan: Essex Property Trust is the dividend stock I would be buying.
After a $16 billion merger with BRE Properties earlier this year, this apartment real estate investment trust is up over 30% year to date and still yields nearly 3%. In fact, Essex recently continued its history of dividend boosts by raising its quarterly dividend by 7.4%.
About 88% of Essex's rental properties are located in California, and with the median home sales price in California now well over $400,000 (compared to the national average of $172,000), the booming West Coast housing market is giving many residents no choice other than rentals. In addition to increasing demand for rentals, the merger with BRE has provided Essex with an opportunity for higher operating margins and lower borrowing costs moving forward. It appears that Essex has found the recipe for success in the long-term.
John Maxfield: If you're looking for a dependable dividend stock, and particularly one in the financial space, you can't do much better than New York Community Bancorp .
Not only does it yield 6.4%, but it also has an unparalleled history of distributing the majority of its income to shareholders. Indeed, even when most of its peers were forced to slash their quarterly payouts in the midst of the financial crisis, New York Community Bancorp never flinched. It went so far as to refuse TARP money in order to protect its shareholders from dilution and ensure that its dividend would continue unabated.
This is a tried and true bank. And it's one dividend investors have justifiably come to know and love.
Top dividend stocks for the next decade
The smartest investors know that dividend stocks simply crush their non-dividend paying counterparts over the long term. That's beyond dispute.

Abortion. Homosexual "marriage." Terrorism. Embryonic-stem-cell research. Atheism. Often, we look around at the world in which we live, and wonder just how long God will continue to permit our existence on His Earth. It requires only a few moments of a person's time to document a veritable plethora of sins within society. Our young people feel pressured from every angle to commit acts that most of them know are offensive to God. And, sadly, many give in, feeling that the pressure from their peers is simply too great.
In the early chapters of Genesis, we are introduced to a man who refused to give in to peer pressure. Perhaps he can best be described as an island of righteousness surrounded by a sea of iniquity. His character is described in Genesis 6:9 by three expressions. (1) "Noah was a just man" (i.e., he was honest—very likely an unusual trait for his day and time). (2) Noah is described as being "perfect in his generations." Does this mean that Noah was perfect and sinless? Certainly not. As one writer has correctly suggested: "Noah's being perfect refers to his being blameless because of his wholehearted, complete loyalty to God. Noah did what was right because he had a complete, well-rounded relationship with God" (Jones, 1996, p. 58). (3) Noah "walked with God"—an honor reserved for only a select few individuals mentioned in the Bible (cf. James 2:23, where Abraham is referred to as "the friend of God").
Now, advance forward approximately four-and-a-half millennia, and the subject of Noah still is extremely relevant. How so? Through our mail box in a year's time come hundreds of letters. Some are from friends, offering a word of encouragement. Some are from students, writing to ask for materials they can use in the preparation of a term paper, speech, or debate. Some are from people whose faith is faltering because it has been attacked by unbelief and is in danger of being destroyed. And some are from evolutionists, atheists, skeptics, infidels, or those sympathetic to them, objecting to the stand we take in our work.
When someone in that last group contacts us (as they frequently do) about the events recorded in Genesis 6-8, they generally assert that there is no way to scientifically investigate the Noahic flood. They question Noah's intellectual ability, the size of the ark, the number of animals the ark could hold, etc. It seems like every single facet of the biblical narrative is subject to attack by those who oppose God, or those who are willing to compromise His Word. Such is hardly surprising, considering the atheistic world view that some people support and attempt to defend.
It is surprising, however, when some of the letters we receive on this topic come from those who profess to be Christians. While their language sometimes (though not always) is gentler, the underlying sentiment remains the same: "There is no way this story is real!" In fact, they generally make it clear that their allegiance is to "science," and maintain that the text of Genesis 6-8, while admittedly "a fine story about the power of God," is not something intended to be accepted as literally true and historically accurate.
From some of the mail we receive, it appears that those within the atheistic community have been somewhat successful in planting seeds of doubt, as once-faithful Christians find themselves questioning a story they have known and believed since childhood. One purpose of the present study, therefore, is to root out and destroy permanently those seeds of doubt, and to reassure Christians that the events of Genesis 6-8 happened exactly as Moses recorded them thousands of years ago. While God very easily could have used (and, in fact, did use!) miraculous events to facilitate the Noahic flood of Genesis 6-8, the primary focus of this article will be to document both the feasibility and the scientific accuracy of the account of Noah and the ark as revealed in Genesis 6-8. We invite your attention to the following examination of some of the arguments that have been leveled against the Genesis record.
On occasion, critics claim that Noah could not have constructed the ark because people living in ancient times were unintelligent, and did not possess the tools for such shipbuilding. These skeptics make ancient people appear to be little more than long-armed, club-carrying, ape-like creatures that lived in caves. However, if one were to consider carefully the people before Noah, he or she would learn that man possessed amazing intelligence from the beginning of Creation. A careful examination of Genesis 2:16-20 finds God communicating with Adam. As God paraded the animals before Adam, He instructed Adam to give each one a name—the implication being that Adam was not only to name the animals, but also to remember that name and pass it down to his offspring. Ask any scientist, and he or she will tell you that communication is one of the most important factors separating humans from animals. It demonstrates the highest form of intelligence. The ability to develop symbols (known as an alphabet), use those symbols to form words, and then string together those words in a logical fashion with syntax and context for both written and oral communication, shows incredible intelligence. And yet, here we have man communicating with God, and naming the animals, even before Eve appears on the scene. How does this mesh with the evolutionary view that early humans were ignorant?
Consider some of the wonders of the ancient world, such as the Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx, or the 100-foot-high Colossus of Rhodes. We still are at a loss to explain exactly how ancient people built such intricate structures. Additionally, the Egyptians possessed knowledge of mummification that we today still cannot match. They could mummify a corpse so effectively that, when we unearth it more than a thousand years later, we still are able to detect fingerprints on the well-preserved body. Early people were not dumb! In fact, in Genesis 4:21, we read of Jubal, who was "the father of all such as handle the harp and organ," and verse 22 speaks of Tubal Cain, "an instructor in brass and iron." Here, we find ourselves just a few short generations from Adam, and already we read of people who were capable of smelting metals. These were hardly ignorant, unlearned souls.
Some, like Canadian religionist and anthropologist Arthur Custance, have stated (or implied) that the building of such a large boat as the ark, in such remote times of antiquity, by so few people, simply was not possible, or at best was highly unlikely (see Custance, 1979). Regarding such an assessment, we would like to offer the following observations. First, as Whitcomb and Morris have noted:
The Scriptures, however, do not suggest that Noah and his three sons had to construct the Ark without the help of hired men. Nevertheless, we agree that the sheer massiveness of the Ark staggers the imagination. In fact, this is the very point of our argument: for Noah to have built a vessel of such magnitude simply for the purpose of escaping a local flood is inconceivable. The very size of the Ark should effectively eliminate the local-Flood view from serious consideration among those who take the Book of Genesis at face value (1961, p. 11).
Second, as British writer Frederick Filby remarked in The Flood Reconsidered:
Yet even granting all this, some may feel that the Ark was too large for early man to have attempted. A survey of the ancient world shows in fact the very reverse. One is constantly amazed at the enormous tasks which our ancestors attempted. The Great Pyramid was not the work of the later Pharaohs; it was the work of the 4th Dynasty—long before Abraham! This pyramid contained over two million blocks of stone each weighing about 2 tons. Its vast sides, 756 feet long, are set to the points of the compass to an accuracy of a small fraction of one degree! The so-called Colossi of Memnon again are not of recent times—they belong to the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. Cut from blocks of sandstone they weigh 400 tons each and were brought 600 miles to their present position.... As our thoughts go back to the Colossus of Rhodes, the Pharos Lighthouse, the Hanging Gardens, the Ziggurats, the Step Pyramid—or even in our own country to Stonehenge—we have no reason to suppose that early man was afraid to tackle great tasks (1970, p. 92).
Arguments like Custance's are thus shown to be completely at odds with the historical data. Merely because the ark was large does not mean the task was impossible. And we must not forget that Noah had sufficient time in which to build it (Genesis 6:3).
Morris and LaHaye have estimated that four men could have cut, dressed, and installed approximately 15 cubic feet of lumber per day (1976, p. 248). Thus if Noah and his sons worked a six-day week (resting one day each week), they could have cut, dressed, and installed 4,680 cubic feet of wood in a year's time. Robert Faid noted: "Since it may be estimated that the ark would require 380,000 cubic feet of wood, Noah and his sons could have accomplished this feat in only 81 years" (1994, p. 15). Are we to believe that God—the Creator of man and the One Who endowed him with his intelligence—was unable or unwilling to give Noah adequate instructions—instructions that he could carry out successfully?
One of the most frequent charges critics raise is against the ark itself, as they assert that it was not large enough to do its job. This charge is easily refuted, since Scripture provides us with the dimensions of the vessel. God told Noah to make "the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits" (Genesis 6:15). If we are to understand the size of the ark, we first must understand the length of a cubit. The word "cubit" derives from the Greek word pechus, meaning forearm (Vine, et al., 1996, p. 140). Vine defined the cubit as
the part between the hand and the elbow-joint; hence, "a measure of length," not from the wrist to the elbow, but from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow joint (p. 140).
In their book, The Genesis Flood, John Whitcomb and Henry Morris observed:
The Babylonians had a "royal" cubit of about 19.8 inches, the Egyptians had a longer and a shorter cubit of about 20.65 and 17.6 inches respectively, while the Hebrews apparently had a long cubit of 20.4 inches (Ezek. 40:5) and a common cubit of about 17.5 inches (1961, p. 10).
Alfred Rehwinkel commented:
It is generally supposed that the cubit is the distance from the point of the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. Translated into our own standard of measurements, the common cubit is estimated at about 18 inches. But Petrie, a noted Egyptologist, is of the opinion that it measured 22 inches.... Two feet may be more nearly correct....
But accepting the lower figures, and placing the cubit at eighteen inches and then again at twenty-four inches, we get the following results: According to the lower standard, the ark would have measured 450 feet in length, seventy-five feet in width, and forty-five feet in height. According to the higher figure, the length would have been six hundred feet; the width, one hundred feet; the height, sixty feet.... The ships of the maritime nations of the world never approached the dimensions of the ark until about a half century ago (1951, pp. 59-60).
In 2000, an effort was made to design a "globally harmonized" crash dummy for automobile manufacturers. The task group analyzed anthropometric data from governments worldwide. The results indicated that the average length for an adult male forearm is 276mm (10.86 inches), with the hand being 190mm (7.48 inches) [see Moss, et al., 2000]. The data indicate that the worldwide average length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger is 466mm (18.34 inches). Rounding the cubit off to 18 inches would then make the ark 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. A ship with these measurements would have been over one-and-a-half football fields in length. In fact, as Filby has pointed out, as late as 1858 the largest known vessel of her type in the world was "the P&O liner Himalaya, 240 feet by 35 feet." It was in that year that Isambard K. Brunel produced
...the Great Eastern, 692 feet by 83 feet by 30 feet, of approximately 19,000 tons...five times the tonnage of any ship then afloat.... Still more interesting are the figures for the Great Britain, designed by I.K. Brunel in 1844. Her dimensions were 322 feet by 51 feet by 32 feet, so that the ratios are almost exactly those of the Ark. Brunel had the accumulated knowledge of generations of shipbuilders to draw upon. The Ark was the first of its kind! (Filby, 1970, p. 93).
Using the most conservative estimate available for the length of the cubit (17.5 inches), Whitcomb and Morris have shown that the ark would have been 437.5 feet long, 72.92 feet wide, and 43.75 feet high. In its three decks (Genesis 6:16), it had a total area of approximately 95,700 square feet—the equivalent of slightly more than twenty standard basketball courts. Its total volume would have been about 1,396,000 cubic feet. The gross tonnage (a measurement of cubic space rather than weight, one ton being equivalent to 100 cubic feet of usable storage space) was about 13,960 tons (p. 10).
These ratios are strikingly similar to those of the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien (one of the "Liberty Ships" constructed during World War II), which was launched in 1943. During the war, a fleet of ships was created in response to the critical shortage of maritime cargo ships. These ships were manned, for the most part, by merchant seamen who carried all kinds of wartime supplies through the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Persian Gulf. The S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien measured 441 feet long and 56 feet wide, and could displace 14,300 tons when fully loaded (see Jaffee, 1993). When U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was shown the plans in 1941 for this fleet, he approved of the efficiency of the proposed design, but commented, "Admiral, I think this ship will do us very well. She'll carry a good load. She isn't much to look at, though is she? A real ugly duckling" (as quoted in Jaffee, p. 4). The S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien thus became known by the nickname, "Ugly Duckling." Jaffee, in describing the advantage of this new fleet, wrote:
Driven by an obsolete reciprocating engine with coal burning fire-tube boilers, the vessel had been built, year after year, on the River Tyne and had proven its reliability in trades where speed was secondary to reliability (pp. 2-3, emp. added).
The ark, just like the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, was not built for speed (it had nowhere to go!). But it did need to be reliable—since it would have to withstand pounding waves and whipping winds on the open seas for approximately a year.
Critics of the Flood account have stated that the ark was not large enough to handle its assigned cargo. Such critics, however, generally have not taken the time to consider just how large the ark really was, or the cargo it had to carry. As Whitcomb has pointed out:
For the sake of realism, imagine waiting at a railroad crossing while ten freight trains, each pulling 52 boxcars, move slowly by, one after another. That is how much space was available in the Ark, for its capacity was equivalent to 520 modern railroad stock cars. A barge of such gigantic size, with its thousands of built-in compartments (Gen. 6:14) would have been sufficiently large to carry two of every species of air-breathing animal in the world today (and doubtless the tendency toward taxonomic splitting has produced more "species" than can be justified in terms of Genesis "kinds") on only half of its available deck space. The remaining space would have been occupied by Noah's family, five additional representatives of each of the comparatively few kinds of animals acceptable for sacrifice, two each of the kinds that have become extinct since the Flood, and food for them all (Gen. 6:21) [1973, p. 23, emp. in orig.].
Whitcomb and Morris investigated the numbers of animals that would have been on the ark (using the highest possible estimates, and taxonomic figures provided by evolutionists), and showed that the biblical account can fit known scientific facts regarding these matters (1961, pp. 65-69). Their book, The Genesis Flood, was published in 1961. Thirty-five years later, John Woodmorappe expanded on their work, and produced what is likely the most exhaustive, well-researched feasibility study ever put into print dealing specifically with the ark's construction and contents (1996). His data-based conclusions established beyond any doubt that the ark could do what it was designed to do. Since God was the Creator of all the animals, does it not make sense that He would know precisely how much room was needed for them on the ark?
Another charge from those who are disinclined to believe the Genesis record revolves around Noah and all those animals. While objections of every kind have been raised regarding the Flood, perhaps none has been echoed as loudly as those that relate to the gathering, storage, and care of the animals destined to live through the Flood via the ark. In order to analyze scientifically the effectiveness of Noah and his family in caring for the animals, the very first question that must be answered is this: How many animals might there have been? While various theories abound, the truth is, we simply do not know. We were not there, and the biblical record is silent on this point.
There are, however, several facts that one can glean from the text. First, God mentioned bringing aboard the ark "every living thing of all flesh...of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind" (Genesis 6:19-20). The text later describes those animals that would join Noah and his family as "beasts" and "birds of the heavens" (Genesis 7:2-3). Thus, we know that Noah was not required to take aquatic animals (which could have survived the Flood outside the safety of the ark). Also, creatures such as mollusks, tunicates, echinoderms, sponges, protozoans, coelenterates, certain arthropods, and some varieties of worms would have been able to survive in the water; thus, Noah likewise did not have to carry them on the boat. Only those land-dwelling and/or air-breathing animals that needed protection from the water were required to be on board.
Second, God's command to Noah was to take two of each kind of unclean animal, and seven of each kind of clean animal (Genesis 6:19-20; 7:2-3). We should remember, however, that the Genesis word "kind" (Hebrew min) is not the same as the biologists' "species" of today. Noah did not have to take two or seven of every species of animal. He had to take two (or seven) of every kind. That is to say, he did not have to take two German Shepherds, two Golden Retrievers, two coyotes, and two dingoes. He simply had to take two of the dog "kind." [Dogs, dingoes, coyotes, foxes, and wolves all can interbreed, and therefore are the same kind.]
But another question arises. Genesis 7:2-4 states:
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female: of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
That has caused some to ask: Exactly how many clean animals did Noah take into the ark—seven, or fourteen? Generally, there are two opposing views on the precise number of each kind of animal involved. One view is expressed by the following comment from John T. Willis:
It is impossible to determine certainly whether the Hebrew phrase, shibb'ah shibbah means "by sevens" (KJV), that is, seven animals of all clean species, or "seven and seven" (ASV) or seven pairs (RSV, NEB), that is fourteen animals of all clean species.... There can be no certainty on this point (1979, p. 171).
Other scholars, however, have been more decisive on the matter, suggesting the reason why there would have been only seven of every clean kind on the ark. Animal sacrifice to God was practiced during the Patriarchal Age, and it is apparent that the people could distinguish between clean and unclean. Thus, it is likely that when Noah left the ark and offered sacrifices to God "of every clean animal" (Genesis 8:20), one animal was sacrificed, and three pairs were left for domestication by man so that he could have food and fashion clothing. Regarding the actual exegesis of the passage, H.C. Leupold commented:
The Hebrew expression "take seven seven" means "seven each" [here, he then refers to Koenig and Gesenius—BH/BT]. Hebrew parallels support this explanation. In any case, it would be a most clumsy method of trying to say "fourteen" (1942, 1:290).
While it is difficult to speak dogmatically on this issue, the view of numerous conservative scholars weighs heavily in favor of the interpretation that there were seven clean, and two unclean, of every animal kind to be found on Noah's ark.
But what about those who still want to argue that Noah was required to take two of each unclean, and seven of each clean, species? To answer such an argument, one would merely have to turn to Principles of Systematic Zoology by world-renowned evolutionary taxonomist Ernst Mayr, and examine the table he provides that lists the total number of animals per species (1980). Of those that would have needed protection onboard the ark, we find:
Total—21,100 different species
We can immediately multiply that number by two (two of every unclean animal)—42,200. After adding the clean animals (which were much fewer in number), this would yield approximately 50,000 vertebrate animals onboard the ark. Recognizing that the majority of these animals would have been small (e.g., birds, reptiles, etc.), we can safely estimate the average size for each animal at roughly the size of an adult sheep. Morris and LaHaye have suggested that since one railroad boxcar is capable of holding 240 "sheep-sized" animals, all of the animals that Noah would have had to accommodate (using known species, not kinds) would have taken up only 36 percent of the ark's capacity. They concluded: "In other words, assuming a minimal size for the ark and a maximum number of animals, we find that the ark was not too small for the task, as many have claimed" (1976, p. 247, emp. added). John Woodmorappe took his analysis one step farther. Using the floor-space recommendations for the housing of laboratory animals, he documented that the cumulative area of the ark's three decks was more than adequate to provide all the necessary floor space required to accommodate the ark's inhabitants (1996, pp. 15-16).
As early as 1854, John Pye Smith began raising objections regarding the authenticity of the Flood account (p. 145), and local-flood advocates have been raising them ever since. For the most part, objections can be grouped under three main headings: (1) gathering of the animals; (2) storage and care of the animals; and (3) migration of the animals after the Flood.
Skeptics of the Genesis record are quick to point out that it would have been "impossible" for Noah to collect such a vast array of animals. Even given the time allotted, they argue, he and his family would not have had time to build the ark and collect the animals. A careful examination of the text, however, reveals that Noah and his family were not in charge of this gargantuan task. Rather, we are told that the animals came unto Noah.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive (Genesis 6:19-20, emp. added).
The only task for which Noah was responsible, according to the biblical record, was building an ark of the appropriate dimensions as given to him by God.
The objection has been raised that it would have been impossible for creatures from different regions of the world to leave their respective homes and meet Noah in the Mesopotamian Valley. The unique creatures of Australia, for example, certainly could not have traveled to the ark, since Australia is an island. And how could the polar bear survive a journey from its native land to the sultry plains of Mesopotamia? The variety of climates, the difficult geography, and other various and sundry items, seemingly would make such journeys impossible. Some have viewed these "impossible journeys" as militating against the accuracy of the Flood account. Whitcomb and Morris, commenting on such arguments, wrote:
An equally serious fault in this type of reasoning is that it begs the question of the extent and effects of the Deluge. It assumes, for example, that climatic zones were exactly the same before the Flood as they are now, that animals inhabited the same areas of the world as they do now, and that the geography and topography of the earth continued unchanged. But on the assumptions of a universal Deluge, all these conditions would have been profoundly altered. Arctic and desert zones may never have existed before the Flood; nor the great intercontinental barriers of high mountain ranges, impenetrable jungles, and open seas (as between Australia and Southeast Asia, and between Siberia and Alaska). On this basis, it is quite probable that animals were more widely distributed than now, with representatives of each created kind of land animal living in that part of the earth where Noah was building the Ark (1961, pp. 64-65).
Rehwinkel has suggested that during the probationary period provided by God in Genesis 6:3, "migration of these animals which God had intended to save might have extended over several generations of animals" (1951, p. 75). Thus, when the ark was ready for its occupants, the animals already were in the nearby geographical regions. Since Genesis 6:19-20 makes it clear that God caused the creatures to "come unto Noah," Noah did not have to "go after" all the various animals. Even Bernard Ramm (a local-flood advocate) has admitted that the animals must have come unto Noah as they were "prompted by divine instinct" (1954, p. 169). Here, too, is an intriguing point to consider: If God could bring the animals to Adam to be named (Genesis 2:19), could He not just as easily bring them to Noah to be saved? If not, why not?
But how do we explain the storage and care of the animals in the ark? Genesis 6:14 states that Noah was instructed to construct "rooms" (cubicles, cells, or cabins) in the ark to hold the animals. Once onboard, the animals were placed into these rooms for the long trip. As we try to unlock many of the mysteries regarding the care of the animals, we must recognize that we today do not have access to all the information that Noah and his family possessed. Did God specify that Noah had to take adult animals onboard the ark? Or could he have taken juvenile animals, thus reducing the amounts of room and food needed in housing the animals? There are many things that are logical. But we still cannot be dogmatic about exactly how every event transpired, because we were not there (and because the biblical record often is silent on specific details that we would perhaps like to have seen enumerated).
But critics still are "perplexed" by what they consider to be insurmountable problems. How could eight people possibly feed and care for all the different animals on the ark? Ramm, as one such critic, is on record as complaining: "The problem of feeding and caring for them would be enormous. The tasks of carrying away manure and bringing food would completely overtax the few people in the ark." He further suggested that the problem of "special diets and special conditions needed for the animals overthrows the idea of a universal flood" (p. 167).
Ramm, however, apparently has missed several critical factors. First, of course, is the fact that his local-flood theory suffers from exactly the same problems. Even if the Flood were local, the care and feeding of the animals still would present a major problem. Second, if the animals could have been "prompted by divine instinct" (to use Ramm's own words) to come to the ark, could they not also be cared for, once in the ark, by He Who was responsible for that "divine instinct"?
Third, in our estimation, Dr. Ramm has overlooked an important Bible message. In Genesis 8:1, it is stated quite clearly that God "remembered" Noah and all the animals in the ark. The Hebrew word zakar, translated "remembered," suggests God's continued watchful care over all the occupants of the ark. In the Scriptures, God's "remembering" always implies His movement toward the object(s) of His memory (cf. Genesis 19:29; Exodus 2:24; Luke 1:54-55, et al.). In fact, the primary meaning of zakar, according to Hebrew usage, is "granting requests, protecting, delivering," when God is the subject and humans are the object (Brown, Driver, Briggs, 1901, p. 270). The point we are making is this: God was with Noah and his family. Those eight souls had received what basically amounted to a personal invitation from the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe to join Him on a year-long trip inside the ark. Noah, his wife, his three sons, and his three daughters-in-law were not "left to their own devices" for the duration of the trip. Nor were they in any sense of the word abandoned to "go it alone." Quite the opposite. God "remembered them."
The truth is, Noah and his fellow passengers did not have to tackle these tasks by themselves, since God was "with them" and "remembered them." The how of this process is not stated specifically in the inspired text. Whitcomb has suggested that God may have supernaturally imposed a year-long hibernation process on the animals, thereby minimizing the necessity of a great deal of food and care.
What Biblical evidence do we find to support this significant concept? First, we must assume that God supernaturally controlled the bodily functions of these animals to bring them to the Ark in the first place, overcoming all of their natural instincts during that period of time. All alternative possibilities have been shown to be hopelessly inadequate. Second, there could have been no multiplication of animals (not even the rabbits) during the year of the Flood, for the Ark was built just large enough to carry two of each, and the animals entered the Ark two by two and a year later went out of the Ark two by two. Note that it was not until after Noah brought the creatures out of the Ark that God commanded them to "breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth" (8:17).... In the entire matter of gathering the animals to the Ark and caring for them during the year of the Flood, the Book of Genesis is consistently supernatural in its presentation (1973, p. 32, emp. in orig.).
While it is impossible to state with certainty what God did in regard to gathering and caring for the animals prior to and during their journey, it is clear that, to use the words of Robert Jamieson, "They must have been prompted by an overruling Divine direction, as it is impossible, on any other principles, to account for their going in pairs" (1948, p. 95, emp. in orig.). There was some divine "overruling" in the storage, feeding, and care of the animals, to be sure. How much, the Bible does not indicate. Yet, as Rehwinkel has observed:
But, if we are willing to accept the possibility of the miraculous, some such solution is at least conceivable. The Flood as a whole was a stupendous, miraculous interference with the laws governing the entire universe; a temporary suspension of the laws governing the routine and habits of a select group of animals for one year is but an insignificant detail in comparison. The Biblical account of the Flood is so brief, and our knowledge of the world before the Flood, and particularly of the ark, is so limited that here, as elsewhere, many questions must remain unanswered (1951, p. 76).
Woodmorappe went into painstaking detail to show not necessarily how it was done, but rather that it could be done. His well-referenced study demonstrates how we can account for waste management, feeding, and watering, using 80 man-hours per day. Skeptics are quick to point fingers and cast doubt, of course. But few are willing to invest the time and research Woodmorappe did to back up their allegations.
How the animals became so widely distributed over the Earth, once they disembarked from the ark after the Flood, is not explained in the Genesis account. Whitcomb and Morris offered some viable suggestions in The Genesis Flood (1961, pp. 79-86). Migrations may have taken place by land bridges, by air, or even by the direct supernatural intervention of God Himself. Other possibilities also exist. For example, perhaps after the Flood those animals that came off the ark lived around the mountains of Ararat, where they were able to "breed abundantly in the earth, and multiply upon the earth" (Genesis 8:17). Their descendants then migrated slowly, generation by generation, until the Earth once again was filled with animal life. Critics often are heard to ask questions such as, "How did the unique animals like marsupials get back to Australia, for example?" [NOTE: For a discussion of this topic, see Major, 1989.] There is a significant assumption in such a question, however. Who can prove that the marsupials were in Australia before the Flood in the first place? Some pieces of information we do possess; some we do not. We do know, for example, that a certain number of every kind of air-breathing animal entered the ark. We know that representatives of each exited the ark. And we know that the survivors bred and multiplied, filling the Earth once more with animal life. Exactly how they migrated (or were distributed) to various parts of the Earth, how long that took, or why some animals later became extinct, we cannot determine conclusively. These are questions that will have to remain unanswered, but do not affect the authenticity of the Bible.
After spending decades constructing the ark, Noah and his family finally boarded the giant boat, God closed the door (Genesis 7:16), and one week later the waters of the flood were upon the earth" (Genesis 7:10). Genesis 7:11 provides some indication of the devastating nature of the floodwaters when it states that "all the fountains of the great deep [were] broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." This was no gentle spring rain. Rather, it was the final judgment of an angry God upon a sin-sick, destined-to-die world. Water came down ("the windows of heaven were opened") and water rose up ("all the fountains of the great deep were broken up") until finally Genesis 7:19-20 records: "And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered." In assessing this passage, Whitcomb and Morris wrote:
One need not be a professional scientist to realize the tremendous implications of these Biblical statements. If only one (to say nothing of all) of the high mountains had been covered with water, the Flood would have been absolutely universal; for water must seek its own level—and it must do so quickly! (pp. 1-2, emp. in orig.).
Critics, however, have been quick to suggest that "all the high mountains" need not mean necessarily all the high mountains, since the word "all" can be used in a relative or distributive sense. H.C. Leupold dealt a deathblow to that argument.
A measure of the waters is now made by comparison with the only available standard for such waters—the mountains. They are said to have been "covered." Not a few merely, but "all the high mountains under all the heavens." One of these expressions alone would almost necessitate the impression that the author intends to convey the idea of the absolute universality of the Flood, e.g., "all the high mountains." Yet since "all" is known to be used in a relative sense, the writer removes all possible ambiguity by adding the phrase "under all the heavens." A double "all" (kol) cannot allow for so relative a sense. It almost constitutes a Hebrew superlative. So we believe that the text disposes of the question of the universality of the Flood (1942, pp. 301-302).
How deep, then, was this water "over all the high mountains"? The text indicates it was "fifteen cubits upward" that the water "prevailed." This phrase obviously cannot mean that the waters went only fifteen cubits high (approximately 22 feet), for the phrase is qualified by the one that immediately follows—"and the mountains were covered." The true meaning of the phrase is to be found in comparing Genesis 7:19-20 with Genesis 6:15, where it is stated that the ark was thirty cubits high. The phrase "fifteen cubits" gives us an indication of how much clearance the ark would have had over the tallest mountain. The draft of a boat built for seaworthiness (such as the ark) is generally half the ship's height. That is, when fully loaded, it sinks in the water to a depth equal to half the height. If the ark was thirty cubits high, and if it sank half of that, then it would sink fifteen cubits! If the waters prevailed upward "fifteen cubits," that would be adequate to protect the ark as it floated on the waters all over the Earth for a little more than a year. Thus, the ark would not have hit any mountaintops while being tossed to and fro during the Flood.
A careful reading of the Genesis text indicates that the Flood lasted approximately a year. The chronology would have included the following:
Whitcomb and Morris provided the following summary.
The order of events as set forth in the first part of the eighth chapter of Genesis would seem, then, to be as follows: (1) After the waters had "prevailed upon the earth" 150 days, the waters began to assuage. (2) The Ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat the same day that the waters began to assuage, for the 17th day of the 7th month was exactly 150 days after the Flood began. (3) The waters continued to subside, so that by the 1st day of the 10th month (74 days later), the tops of various lower mountains could be seen. This would suggest a drop of perhaps fifteen or twenty feet a day, at least during the initial phase of this assuaging period. (4) The Flood level continued to fall for forty more days, so that Noah, no longer fearing that the Flood would return, sent forth a raven to investigate the conditions outside the Ark (p. 7).
The temptation undoubtedly exists, especially in today's climate of scientific prowess, to exalt science above Scripture. Such a stance, while obviously to be expected of those who do not profess a belief in either God or His Word, simply is not an option for the person who accepts the truthfulness and inspiration of the Bible. John Morris addressed this particular temptation, and what happens when Bible believers fall prey to it, when he wrote:
Unfortunately, many others now have begun to judge Scripture's accuracy by its agreement with scientific dogma, and then to distort Scripture until the two seem to agree. In doing so, scientific opinions of some scientists are elevated to a level they don't deserve, and Scripture suffers.
If such a method of interpreting Scripture is followed throughout, other doctrines will fall also. After all, miracles are "scientifically" impossible. Scientists know that virgins don't give birth, men don't walk on water, and bodies don't rise from the dead. One may gain scientific credibility among the secularists by twisting Scripture to fit science, but it would be better to honor God by believing His word (1998, p. d).
Christians need not have nagging doubts about the accuracy of the Flood account. Let us openly and fairly examine the biblical and scientific evidence that supports the Genesis Flood, and let us simultaneously urge others to do likewise. Biblical evidence establishes the fact that there was a universal Flood. Knowing that, we then may be alert to evidence from science that possibly provides support for the Flood model. At the same time, however, we must realize that it is not always an easy task to interpret such evidence, for none among us has experienced or witnessed a global Flood. The worldwide Flood recounted in Genesis has no parallel in today's world. Therefore, whatever measurements we make must, by necessity, be on a much smaller scale (e.g., using local flood information, etc.). This being the case, it behooves us to use great care, for we do not want to abuse, misuse, or over-extrapolate the evidence from science.
Let us be cautious as good students, but never willing to compromise inspired testimony. We must never forget that "the main concern, as always, should be, what do the Scriptures teach?" (Jones, 1996, p. 61).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior Patty Hallberg (Severna Park, Md./Broadneck), as well as sophomores Corinna Darelius (Rye, N.Y./Rye) and Catherine Frediani (Ellicott City, Md./Howard), have been named to the 2014 America East Women's Swimming and Diving All-Academic Team, the conference office announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Hallberg leads the trio after receiving a spot on the All-Academic squad for the second consecutive season. The senior has accumulated a 3.86 grade-point-average (GPA) during her time at UMBC while working towards a degree in psychology and also earning a minor in biological sciences. Hallberg has been selected to the President's List three times in her career for earning a perfect 4.0 semester GPA, while also receiving a spot on the Dean's List twice, and garnering semester academic Honors once. She is also an active member in The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
In the pool, Hallberg helped lead UMBC to a second-place finish at the 2014 America East Championships where she recorded season-best times in each of her events. The senior reached the finals in the 400 IM, where she finished in fifth.
Darelius earns her first spot on the All-Academic Team after excelling in the classroom and on the diving boards. The sophomore swept the two diving competitions at the conference championships meet and was named the America East's Most Outstanding Diver. In addition, she was named the conference Diver of the Week three times this season. Darelius also qualified for the NCAA Zones Diving meet for the second straight year, advancing to the finals of the 3-meter event as a sophomore.
In her studies, Darelius has been equally successful, compiling a 3.49 GPA while studying for a degree in engineering. She earned semester academic honors in each of her first two terms at UMBC.
Frediani receives her first all-academic award after a positive first two years in Baltimore. In the classroom, the sophomore has accumulated a 3.85 GPA in general studies, earning a spot on the Dean's List in her first semester as a Retriever (Fall 2012).

P2S are a UK survival and preparedness community and were formed in May 2009. We are a non political and non religous group of likeminded people who come from all walks of life and backgrounds.
We are not doomsdayers, a militia or any of the other titles that the media attempt to label us with. We are everyday people that can see that preparing for disasters and life's usual ups and downs makes perfect sense. It wasn't so long ago that our grandparents kept a larder and had a few boxes of candles put by "just in case."
Some people of course live with their heads in the sand and think that nothing bad will ever happen to them. I sincerely hope it doesn't but if you open your eyes wide enough you will see that it is just a matter of time.
People have life insurance but don't hope to die any day soon.
People have car insurance but don't intend on having a crash or have their vehicle stolen.
People have buildings insurance but don't want their home to be damaged.
People have contents insurance but don't want to be burgled.
So why not carryout some simple steps that WILL make your day to day living a little easier if things go wrong??
Common sense really, isn't it? - Why not come and join us.

Ecosystem History of the Southwest Coast-Shark River Slough Outflow Area
One of the primary goals of the Central Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) is to restore the natural flow of water through the terrestrial Everglades and into the coastal zones. Historically, Shark River Slough, which flows through the central portion of the Everglades southwestward, was the primary flow path through the Everglades Ecosystem. However, this flow has been dramatically reduced over the last century as construction of canals, water conservation areas and the Tamiami Trail either retained or diverted flow from Shark River Slough. The reduction in flow and changes in water quality through Shark River have had a profound effect on the freshwater marshes and the associated coastal ecosystems. Additionally, the flow reduction may have shifted the balance of fresh to salt-water inflow along coastal zones, resulting in an acceleration of the rate of inland migration of mangroves into the freshwater marshes. For successful restoration to occur, it is critical to understand how CERP and the natural patterns of freshwater flow, precipitation, and sea level rise will affect the future maintenance of the mangrove-freshwater marsh ecotone and the coastal environment. This project will provide 1) baseline data for restoration managers and hydrologic modelers on the amount and sources of freshwater influx into the southwest coastal zone and the quality of the water, 2) the relative position of the coastal marsh-mangrove ecotone at different periods in the past, and 3) data to test probabilities of system response to restoration changes.

The "Movida" in Spain (between about midnight and about 4 am)
Nightlife at the disco
If you're a night owl, this is when you'll find the maximum opportunity for partying. Here are a few ideas to guide you when you set out to enjoy Spain's "movida" in the top cities for nightlife.
Madrid comes alive at night, and especially at the weekend. Discos, bars, cafés and fashionable clubs in Madrid's different leisure areas and districts all offer the chance to enjoy a first-rate atmosphere by night. Its lively nightlife is famous all over the world. If there's one city where you know you'll be able to dance all night long to whatever music you like, where you'll come across people from hundreds of different nationalities and discover venues in every possible style, that city is bound to be Madrid. You'll see how the atmosphere changes depending on the area. If you're looking for an evening with a little refinement, take a stroll around the Salamanca district. If you prefer something more underground with rock and alternative pop, head for the Malasaña neighbourhood. And to find the latest hip discos and clubs with sessions by the best djs, as well as the chance to spot a few famous faces, the best place to go is the centre, in the area around the Gran Vía and Sol. Although any time in Madrid is a good time for dancing and meeting people, you'll find the best atmosphere on Thursdays to Saturdays, starting around midnight. Gay scene: there's a different way to enjoy Madrid's nightlife. Just head for the Chueca area, where all inhibitions have been cast aside to make way for fun and tolerance, and where you'll find a whole host of wicked venues, techno discos and designer clubs. In fact this neighbourhood has always been a beacon of modernity, and was the birthplace of the famous "movida madrileña" (a countercultural movement of the 70s and 80s). And as well as being the favourite hangout of the gay and transsexual community, the streets in this area are becoming more and more popular with anyone looking for first-rate nightlife. In summer, it's well worth visiting the outdoor terraces in the surroundings of the Plaza de Chueca square, where you're always guaranteed to find a great atmosphere. And of course if you want to see for yourself everything that's on offer in this most openly tolerant of cities, why not visit Madrid during Gay Pride Week (last week of June)? The event features open air concerts and shows, as well as a parade of floats and fancy dress, while the whole area is awash with rainbow flags.
A good way to enjoy the nightlife on offer in Barcelona is by dancing through the night to the latest techno sounds. The nightclubs in Barcelona are famous all over the world for their electronic music. Many of the top names come to deejay in the city's discos. In areas such as the Eixample and Sant Gervasi – Santaló there are numerous venues where techno sounds can be heard all night. Particularly lively spots include the well-known Gaixample, much frequented by the LGBT community, with its easy-going, anything-goes atmosphere. In the Poble Nou area there are numerous large discos and spacious bars featuring alternative rock, indie and the latest pop sounds. In the Port Olimpic, one of the city's most popular areas, the nightlife is intense and sophisticated. If you're looking for cutting-edge design, the latest trends and good cocktail bars, you should opt for El Born, where the music attracts a wide range of personalities from Barcelona's night scene.
Ibiza nights are unforgettable, which is why thousands of people flock to the island every year. You'll have a great time at some of the best clubs on earth, with music from famous DJs to dance the night away. The party lasts all night long but it still won't seem long enough. After just one night, you'll understand why Ibiza's nightlife is so famous, and you'll want to experience it again. You'll meet loads of people looking for a fun time, and you might even bump into some of the celebrities who come to Ibiza to enjoy the atmosphere of its outdoor terraces and discos.
Valencia's nightlife is full of people who are raring to get out and have fun, feel the music and dance. The most popular area is the neighbourhood known as the Barrio del Carmen, right in the old part of town, although the clubs and bars around the Avenida de Aragón, and Cánovas, Honduras and Xúquer squares are also very well known. And the younger student vibe is to be found centred around the Avenida Blasco Ibáñez. If you're visiting the city in July and August, check out the beach areas and the Paseo Neptuno promenade, as this where is the partying goes on for longest in the summer. In the province of Valencia you'll find some of the most famous discos in Spain, especially on the route from Valencia to Cullera, on the beachfront.
Benidorm is a town to enjoy any time of the day or night. At night, you'll find as much going on outside the clubs as inside them, especially in the summer months. There are more than 150 pubs and discos where you can dance, laugh, have a few drinks and make new friends until dawn. The atmosphere, music, people, entertainment shows, go-go dancers… everything you need to party till you drop. Only you decide when the party is over. The Levante beach is a fun area that attracts a lot of young people. So is Esperanto Street, a favourite spot with the Spanish. And then there are the clubs on Calle Mallorca and Lepanto, where the British feel at home.
Sitges is an open easy-going city which is always ready to show you a good time. At night, you can enjoy the latest sounds in the discos, and dance until dawn in venues with a predominantly LGBT vibe.

UHV to Host Open House
The University of Houston-Victoria is hosting an open house Thursday from 4pm to 6pm at the multi-purpose room of the UHV University Center to provide helpful information and assistance to current, new and prospective students. Returning UHV students can take care of several enrollment-related steps all at once by attending the open house, while new and prospective students can learn more about admissions, financial aid and housing.
UHV representatives from the four academic schools and different service departments will be on hand to direct students through any requirements they need to complete before the semester starts. Students can talk with an adviser about degree plans, update student records, renew financial aid, sign up for classes or make a fee payment.
"As the summer begins to wind down, we realize that students are looking to finalize everything before the first day of class," Billy Lagal, manager of UHV's Letting Education Achieve Dreams and student recruitment programs, told the Victoria Advocate. "Rather than having to make trips to different UHV offices, everything the students need will be in one place at one time."
The open house also is an opportunity for new, prospective or transfer students to learn more about the university. Attendees can take a campus tour, talk with advisers and apply for admissions and financial aid. They also can sign up to live in Jaguar Village and learn about student life activities. Lagal said there's still time for new and returning students to register for classes for the fall semester. Registration is open until Aug. 21. Fall classes begin Aug. 26.
Students who are transferring from another school or who are heading back to college can bring a copy of their unofficial transcripts for on-site advising or registration. Any necessary immunization documentation, including a record of the state-required bacterial meningitis vaccine for students under age 30, also can be brought along.
For more information about the open house, contact UHV Admissions at 361-570-4110 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Michael Brune addressed a gathering in Moab on June 11 and said the monument would be created through the Antiquities Act.
President Bill Clinton similarly created the 1.4 million-acre Grand Staircase of the Escalante National Monument in 1996. It was decried as an abuse of power since there was no public process or Congressional action.
A series of groups have called for the creation of the national monument, which would take much of the public land surrounding Canyonlands National Park, including significant areas of San Juan County.
A number of environmental groups, in addition to the Outdoor Retailers Association, have called for the new designation.
The proposal would designate 1.4 million acres of land currently administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It would also create an "island" of Forest Service land that would be completely surrounded by the new national monument.
Simply put, the proposed national monument would create new protected status for most of the public lands in San Juan County that are west of Highway 191 and north of Highway 95.
Congressman Rob Bishop, who has launched a new Public Lands Initiative in southeastern Utah that focuses on land use through a collaborative process, announced his disappointment with Brune's statements.
Bishop said, "A diverse group of stakeholders has come together to work toward finding solutions for ongoing public land policies that have stymied progress for decades. These conversations have been overwhelmingly positive and have the potential to provide new conservation areas, as well as opportunities for new economic development."
Bishop adds, "This process, which is being driven at the local level, is ongoing and requires continued cooperation amongst all participants.
"Mr. Brune's statement that a unilateral monument designation is the 'the best and most politically viable way' undermines the collaborate effort and to suggest that he is '100 percent' certain a new national monument will be designated in Utah is further harmful to the process.
"Fortunately, the Utah Public Lands Initiative is bigger than just one Washington, D.C. politico and while Mr. Brune may continue to lobby for a unilateral policy out of Washington, the rest of us will continue to work together along with Utah communities to build consensus around new and responsible land policies. Any other approach ignores the diverse interests of the many different land-users."

Christensen said that he took his career to Europe more as a business decision than as a hockey decision. He said that he started to look at playing hockey as a job and for a guy like him, who admittedly has had "some ups but mostly downs" Prague and Europe was the best place for him to go to make a living.
As Cotsonika notes, "here is Christensen, living in Prague, making more money than he did in the NHL, playing a top-six role after being benched and scratched and demoted and traded last season in the NHL. He is among the expatriates taking a different path in a different league on a different continent."
On his career, Christensen said "I've played for some tough coaches. They want you to perform consistently, and when I wasn't doing that, I was an easy guy to bench or scratch. That's just sort of the way it went."
Christensen noted that he feels the larger ice surface and style of player is better suited for his skill set.
Christensen made $925,000 per season over the last two years.
He has 8 goals and 2 assists in 23 games for Prague.
Christensen is teammates with Marcel Hossa and Zdeno Chara in the KHL.

The 43 ft Cruising Machine With Asym Sail
There's no cruising sailboat like it: The early 1930's, with the advent of more efficient Marconi rigs, may have been the last time that buying a used boat (all gaff rigged at the time) made so little sense, because a new design made life so much easier on the crew.
J/130 is a light displacement design born of modern materials of exceptional strength and durability. She has: 1) A very low center of gravity to achieve a high righting moment for good windward performance without crew on the rail, 2) A long waterline length to beam ratio for superb directional stability and safe tracking in large offshore seas, and 3) A generous sail area to wetted surface ratio for light air performance.
A few custom IMS race boats (at twice the price) may achieve similar ratios. J/130 goes farther. She was designed her to be sailed by two people at racing speeds without sacrificing on-deck cruising comfort or shorthanded sailing systems. A proper cockpit dodger and roller furling headstay are standard. Below decks, J/130 is equipped for comfortable onboard living.
Compare the velocity prediction of other boats you have known with the J/130. Then imagine how much more sailing you'll do with a J/130; how much more fun it will be to take out friends to experience the thrill of a fast boat that's safe and easy to manage; the sense of pride in owning a design of real beauty and functional elegance; the knowledge you've made a good investment in what really counts in sailing...the sailing...not a throwback to yesteryear requiring an engine for passage-making speeds, but a beautiful sailing vessel that harnesses the wind.
Introduced: 1992 Built to: Hull #43 Last Model Year: 2002

Most people wouldn't choose the challenge of working 75 metres off the ground, in extreme temperatures and unpredictable weather. But the technicians at Siemens Energy-Wind Service are working to help transform an industry. "Our technicians really believe in what they're doing," says Jennifer Dillon, Siemens manager of business improvement. "They're on the front line, and they're helping to change the way energy is generated." And iPad is changing the way they do their work.
Before iPad, technicians needed multiple binders, service manuals and electrical plans — over a thousand pages of materials — craned up to them before they could begin maintenance or repairs. And that didn't include laptops or additional supporting materials they might need.
Now iPad puts every document in a portable device that's easy for the technicians to access in their tight workspace. iPad also streamlines their workflow, allowing them to take photos, email questions and troubleshoot on the spot. And it lets them track fast-moving weather and quickly adjust their work in the field.
Siemens wind service technicians also provide valuable feedback from the field, where they work on both onshore and offshore wind turbines, often in remote locations. The information they collect helps engineers better understand the environment and make improvements to turbine technology. "What wind service technicians do is critically important to the wind power industry," says Dillon. "We want to make their work as effective and as easy as we can. iPad helps us do that."

Nikon Rumors has people telling them that the heir apparent to the Nikon D700—the full frame DSLR which went toe-to-toe with the Canon 5D MK II)—could arrive this summer and will be called the Nikon D600. Next to no specs were offered up by this anonymous source, except that it will be an "entry level" full frame camera with dual SD card slots, auto DX crop and baked in support for RAW editing and time lapse creation.
Nikon Rumors pegs this rumour with a 40 per cent probability of being true, so it's entirely possible details on this thing will change, but its interesting nonetheless, since the D800 is definitely not the successor to the D700. [Nikon Rumors via PetaPixel]

Chlorpromazine (CPZ) antipsychotic drug molecule. Used to treat schizophrenia. Stylized skeletal formula (chemical structure). Atoms are shown as color-coded circles with thick black outlines and bonds: hydrogen (hidden), carbon (grey), chlorine (green), sulfur (yellow), nitrogen (blue).
Science Photo Library was founded in 1981 by Michael Marten, one of the authors of "Worlds Within Worlds", a book exploring different ways to observe the universe - from electron micrographs, to images of earthrise taken from the Apollo spacecraft. When Marten started receiving requests for the beautiful images in the book, he had an idea of setting up Science Photo Library. Since then, Science Photo Library has continued to work alongside world acclaimed photographers and the leading science and medical experts to provide a central source of the best science and specialist imagery available. Although the collection started with scientific images, it has grown to encompass all aspects of science and their impact on everyday life.
