Science postulates that when the earth was magically forming, billions upon
quadzillions of years ago(sarcasm). The planet was very hot and then slowly
began to cool. Scientists point to a lack of evidence and water available on
earth, in regards to the hundreds of ancient accounts, from diverse cultures
around the world, of an ancient deluge. A world wide flood, that wiped a previous
world, from the face of the planet and left few survivors. This is the Biblical account.
science scoffs at and says is just a myth. I often wonder why and can only
believe, it’s because scientists have this big unwarranted, problem with the
Bible.

So as you may have guessed, I have big problem with that. And believe me, I
would still have a problem with it, despite my personal beliefs. I absolutely
know in my gut, science is wrong, to even think of these accounts, especially
the account in Genesis, as myths. I believe a ton of history is discounted in
our time as myth. And I’m not shy in my convictions.

So I was pondering this a bit today. And it suddenly occured to me.
If the earth had to cool down from it’s own natural formation. Then
there was no water present after it finished cooling. No water, no life.
and there you have my question. Where did all the water we see today
come from? I do know what the scientific answer is. And forgive me, I
find it no more believable then anything, in the Bible. And that’s just
from a very down to earth view. Pun intended.

And even if science did ever find out where all the wet stuff came from.
How would they not be finding the source, of a world wide flood at the
same time?

McDonald’s To Low Paid Employees: Sell Your Stuff For Extra Cash

Because nothing says we care like menial wages for slaving over a hot deep fryer all day, the McDonald’s corporation has taken their philanthropic efforts one step further.

In a recent memo to employees who may be struggling to pay the bills this holiday season, the company launched a new initiative called “Digging Out From Holiday Debt,” in which they provide tips and recommendations on how to increase their net worth and reduce their frivolous spending.

McDonald’s McResource Line, a dedicated website run by the world’s largest fast-food chain to provide its 1.8 million employees with financial and health-related tips, offers a full page of advice for “Digging Out From Holiday Debt.” Among their helpful holiday tips: “Selling some of your unwanted possessions on eBay or Craigslist could bring in some quick cash.”

But that’s not the only wealth building tip provided by the company.

For restaurant employees struggling to put food on their dinner table, McDonald’s makes another suggestion regarding the meals their families consume:

“Breaking food into pieces often results in eating less and still feeling full”

But their caring and empathy doesn’t stop there. With wages bordering on indentured servitude, McDonald’s like their colleagues at Walmart, have provided support for signing up to the government’s Supplement Nutritional Assistance Program.

But why would people working full-time work weeks need food stamps?

Looks like the fast food giant has no problem passing the buck to taxpayers when it comes to supplementing their meager compensation. Two studies published last week revealed that McDonald’s leaves taxpayers responsible for $ 1.2 billion annually across the nation to fund federal programs like SNAP and Medicaid with other fast food chains not far behind.

And just in case their employees aren’t sure how to spend all of the money they’re pulling in on a monthly basis, the company has graciously provided their team members with a basic budget guide:

A budget planning guide from McDonald’s for its employees, shown above, caught flak this past week for being out of touch. For starters, it didn’t account for food and gasoline. The second line on the sample budget leaves room for income from a second job, which many called an admission by the fast food giant that its workers can’t live on its wages alone.

Here’s the McBudget:

Luckily, McDonald’s employees, as well as the people of Walmart, have caring mega-behemoth corporations looking out for their best interests this holiday season.

Obama: "Small-bore stuff compared to lynching"

The setback from the Supreme Court’s decision striking down elements of the Voting Rights Act is bad, but not as daunting hurdles from past generations, President Barack Obama told a White House gathering of civil rights leaders Monday. 

“He said, ‘When you think about it, this is small-bore stuff compared to lynching and shootings and killings that happened 50 years ago,’” one participant in the meeting told POLITICO. “He said, ‘Ultimately this is within our power to change.’”

Obama told the group of about 15 civil rights leaders that it will be incumbent upon alert the Justice Department flag violations of what’s left of the Voting Rights Act, since the Supreme Court found the law’s preclearance requirements unconstitutional.

“They assured us that the Voting Rights Act may have been wounded but it’s not dead, it’s not even on critical,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, the MSNBC host and National Action Network president. “There are other sections of the Voting Rights Act that the Justice Department can still enforce.”

(WATCH: Eric Holder “deeply disappointed” in Voting Rights Act decision)

Obama implored the leaders to alert federal authorities when local jurisdictions restrict voting rights.

“He said that the Supreme Court took away a very useful mechanism, his exact words, so that we didn’t have to go around chasing bad behavior and that now, unfortunately, we will have to do that now,” said Janet Murguía, the president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza. 

Obama said his White House remains committed to a bipartisan congressional fix to the parts of the Voting Rights Act struck down by the Court.

“The president and the attorney general emphasized that the Voting Rights Acts have passed in a bipartisan fashion in the past, and that has to be the strategy going forward,” said Laura Murphy, director of the ACLU’s Washington Legislative Office.

Though the partisan climate in Washington has become more polarized – even from in 2006, when President George W. Bush signed the most recent reauthorization of the law – Murphy said there’s clear Republican support, from Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), among others.

National Urban League President Marc Morial said the fact that few Republicans have weighed in on the Supreme Court’s ruling or possible remedies is a sign that they take the issue seriously and will be willing to work in a bipartisan fashion.

“I don’t think you’ve seen a lot of comments coming from members of Congress negative to the Voting Rights Act or positive to the Supreme Court decision,” he said. “That to me is a sign that people are holding their powder, waiting to see what emerges.”

This week, as thousands of sci-fi and superhero enthusiasts gather in San Diego for Comic-Con, here at the White House we’ll be gathering some of the Nation’s top innovators who are designing materials to enable real-life superpowers—including invisibility and super-strength.

Join us this Friday, July 19^th at 12:00 pm EDT for a “We the Geeks” Google+ Hangout on “The Stuff Superheroes Are Made Of” – where we’ll be talking about some of the most exciting new developments in materials science and how they can change our world for the better.

You’ll meet American scientists and innovators working on materials and technologies with amazing capabilities—seemingly ripped straight from the pages of a comic book or film script—including invisibility cloaks, impenetrable liquid armor, self-healing, touch-sensitive synthetic skin, and more. You’ll also hear how the Obama Administration’s Materials Genome Initiative – which just celebrated its second birthday – is helping to enable and accelerate these breakthroughs with the goal of making them happen faster and cheaper than ever before.

The Hangout will feature a panel of leading experts including:

• James Kakalios, Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Minnesota, and author of The Physics of Superheroes


• Nathan Landy, graduate student at Duke University; working on an invisibility cloak


• Zhenan Bao, Professor of Chemical Engineering, Stanford University; focusing research on self-healing and touch-sensitive synthetic skin


• Norman Wagner, Alvin B. and Julia O. Stiles Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of Delaware; research on liquid armor

Hear from the scientists and engineers who are working to turn science fiction into science fact by watching the latest “We the Geeks” Hangout live on WhiteHouse.gov and on the White House Google+ page on Friday, July 19, at 12:00 pm EDT.

Got comments or questions? Ask them using the hashtag #WeTheGeeks on Twitter and on Google+ and we’ll answer some of them during the live Hangout.

Tom Kalil is Deputy Director for Technology and Innovation at OSTP and Meredith Drosback is a TMS Fellow working on the Materials Genome Initiative at OSTP.

Micro-Garden Madness: You Showed Us Your Stuff

Tomatoes and herbs grow in barrels in this urban micro-garden.

Earlier this week, we told you about some of the people who are trying to make micro-gardening go big — by sharing their DIY tips and selling products designed to make gardening in a small space a piece of cake. Many readers of The Salt let us know they were all for it.

As KL Gamble wrote on Facebook, “Maybe it’s time to bring back victory gardens — even if on a smaller scale,” referring to the gardens the government encouraged citizens to plant to supplement their dinner plate during World War I and World War II.

It turns out plenty of readers of The Salt are already micro-gardening with some impressive DIY chutzpah. We’ve chosen a few of our favorite images of micro-gardens from around the country that make the most of small spaces and idle containers.
