An overlooked past article – Good anytime!
July Fourth is just around the corner, and so are the festivities: thundering fireworks, sunburned kids chasing each other through parks and our personal favorite, grilled foods galore.
Here’s a tip: Don’t wait until July 3 to start your food preparations. With a little planning, your Fourth of July spread will surely be the envy of your neighbors. Grilled items are essential, but don’t fret if you can’t access an outdoor grill. A grill pan can produce flavorful options.
Since the Fourth of July is a celebration of America, let your plate reflect our diverse country and its flavors. Spice up your grilled corn with an Indonesian peanut sauce or add a tart kick to your grilled eggplant, Afghan-style. If you need more ideas, check out our Recipe Finder and search for July Fourth.

After 25 years on death row for a killing he said he didn’t do — and three years after a federal judge threw out his conviction — James Dennis was brought to a Philadelphia courtroom Thursday to make a harrowing choice: plead no contest to the crime and go home, or gamble on another trial.
He didn’t want to admit to the 1991 shooting of 17-year-old Chedell Williams. A federal judge had already ruled he’d been condemned “for a crime in all probability he did not commit.”
But that didn’t guarantee that another jury wouldn’t find him guilty.
So he took the only path he knew would keep him from execution.

Creativity and longevity were the key words Saturday night at the eighth annual Governors Awards, as Oscars were handed to four individuals who collectively represented about 225 years of film experience.
Honorees were Jackie Chan, editor Anne V. Coates, casting director Lynn Stalmaster, and documentarian Frederick Wiseman at Hollywood & Highland.
At the cocktail reception and the pre-dinner schmoozing, the conversation was dominated by the Nov. 8 election won by Donald Trump, as well as handicapping the current awards season, with most of the films in contention being represented.
However, politics and the 2016 awards took a back seat once the 75-minute ceremony started, with knockout clip montages and verbal tributes to the four honorees.

There is good evidence that the Christian faith in the United States of America is in the process of change and decay. There is a great hymn “Abide With Me” which says “Change and Decay in all around I see, O Thou who changest not abide with me.” That has to be the hope of those who are “spiritual but not religious.”
The evidence is that the mainline, old-line Christian denominations, continue to lose members. Death and desertion are taking their toll. The average in most congregations has to be over 50. The number of “nones” continues to grow among the young generations. Lots of young families just have other things they are doing on Sunday. Even the Southern Baptist denomination notices a lack of growth in their membership.
The version of the Christian faith that does seem to still have some vitality is the evangelical religious right of the non-denomination type. The prosperity gospel which tells them that God will give them fortune and fame if they are faithful. There is a version of righteousness that wants to dictate morality to the rest of the world that seems to be appealing to some.
This version of the Christian faith appears to me to be a major part of why the Christian faith is fading. There is a meanness in that faith. There is a lack of inclusiveness in that faith. The dictatorial morality would drive a lot of people away from their fellowship. The Christian fraud that would prohibit the building of mosque, the Christian fraud that would refuse to allow certain biological types to join in marriage, the Christian fraud that would prevent a woman from having the power to chose but then have the meanness to refuse welfare for the help with the demanded birth, drives lots of people away from that group. The effort to impose their morality on a multi-cultural society simple turns people off.

An overlooked past article – Don’t let this happen again!
GAS THE KIKES, WITH NO SURVIVORS.”
“Take back Europe and expel the Jews.”
This is the sound of the alternative right achieving an unprecedented political victory. On Wednesday morning, the emergent community of white nationalists and right-wing internet trolls learned their “god-emperor,” Donald Trump, had won the presidential election. They took to their old stomping grounds to celebrate, hurling Nazi memes and racial slurs like gobs of shit.
For the alt-right, the victory was a long time coming. Over the past year, on popular hangouts like 4chan, 8chan, and Reddit, a group of young, internet-savvy Trump supporters have coordinated to popularize coded racial slurs, manipulate the election, attack Jewish journalists with violent Nazi imagery, smear rape victims and spread anti-Semitic conspiracies.
Trump has never publicly acknowledged, let alone denounced, the alt-right, but he’s certainly aware of it — he retweets their blatantly anti-Semitic memes and falsified data to justify his racist beliefs, and he uses loaded phrases like “global special interests” that dog-whistle a devoted horde of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists into a frenzy.
Any Jewish writer with a Twitter account can tell you how this type of bigotry has become a ubiquitous tool of harassment — and it’s not going away. As BuzzFeed‘s Doree Shafrir put it, “Anti-Semitism has emerged from the shadows, and it’s not going back.”

Dr. Eugene Gu, a 30-year-old surgical resident at Vanderbilt University, is on the verge of his second major scientific breakthrough.
While doing side research as a surgical intern in 2014, Gu became the first person to successfully implant the heart and kidney of a human fetus into a rat. The organs actually grew inside the rat and sustained its life ― a result that could have enormous implications for the treatment of life-threatening birth defects.
“This is the 21st century! Instead of studying cells in a dish, like Louis Pasteur used, why don’t we have a whole human heart?” Gu said in a phone interview, his voice crackling with excitement. “Having a whole organ working for you ― beating, surviving, growing ― that’s really powerful in science. It has a potential to cure a lot of diseases.”
Gu, who was awarded a prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Research Fellowship when he was 25, says his ultimate goal is to transplant healthy fetal organs in utero to babies with fatal congenital diseases, so they can survive to adulthood with fully functioning hearts and kidneys. He also hopes to grow human organs in animals that biomedical researchers could then use to develop cures for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the world, and end-stage renal failure, the No. 1 reason patients are on transplant waiting lists.
“I want to someday end the organ donor shortage,” he said.

A stone slab that many Christians believe once held the body of Jesus Christ after the crucifixion has been unveiled for the first time in centuries.
National Geographic, which was filming the restoration work at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, said the marble that encased the slab since at least 1555 was removed as part of the project.
“We were surprised by the amount of fill material beneath it,” Fredrik Hiebert, archaeologist-in-residence at the National Geographic Society, told the organization’s website. “It will be a long scientific analysis, but we will finally be able to see the original rock surface on which, according to tradition, the body of Christ was laid.”
The church is one of the most revered sites in Christianity and includes the location traditionally believed to have been the scene of the crucifixion as well as the tomb. It’s also highly controversial, as the location was not identified until centuries after the events depicted in the New Testament.
Today, the operation and maintenance of the church is a tense, “status quo” arrangement between several Christian denominations, including the Greek Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, and Roman Catholic churches. At times, fights have broken out between these sects. Such disagreements have allowed parts of the facility to fall into disrepair, and last year the Israeli government temporarily shut down the church over fears of a possible collapse.

The planet is warming at a pace not experienced within the past 1,000 years, at least, making it “very unlikely” that the world will stay within a crucial temperature limit agreed by nations just last year, according to Nasa’s top climate scientist.
This year has already seen scorching heat around the world, with the average global temperature peaking at 1.38C above levels experienced in the 19th century, perilously close to the 1.5C limit agreed in the landmark Paris climate accord. July was the warmest month since modern record-keeping began in 1880, with each month since October 2015 setting a new high mark for heat.
But Nasa said that records of temperature that go back far further, taken via analysis of ice cores and sediments, suggest that the warming of recent decades is out of step with any period over the past millennium.

After scanning the vast reaches of the cosmos for Earth-like planets where life might exist, astronomers have found one right next door.
A planet that is rocky like Earth and only slightly bigger has been discovered orbiting Proxima Centauri , the nearest star to our solar system, scientists reported Wednesday. It is probably in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold ‘Goldilocks Zone’ where liquid water — a key to life — is possible if the planet has an atmosphere. And it is a mere 4.22 light-years from Earth or 25 trillion miles.
It is easily the closest potentially habitable planet ever detected outside our solar system – and one that could be reachable by tiny, uncrewed space probes before the end of the century, in time for some people alive today to witness it.

The world’s longest aircraft was brought out of its hangar in England over the weekend. But the first thing most people noticed about the Airlander 10, besides its enormous size, was that its front looked like a huge behind.
It’s even been nicknamed “The Flying Bum” by the British media, and photos like this probably don’t help:
At 302 feet long, the Airlander 10 is 50 feet longer than the largest configuration of the Boeing 747.
The airship was originally developed by the U.S. Army for surveillance; however, the project was picked up by Hybrid Air Vehicles in 2013 after funding ran out.
Once it proves safe to fly, the airship could be used for surveillance, cargo, communications, humanitarian missions and passenger travel, the BBC reported.
The airship was officially named the Martha Gwyn, after the wife of Hybrid Air Vehicles chairman Philip Gwyn, according to the Daily Telegraph. It’s filled with 1.3 million cubic feet of helium, and is expected to reach an altitude of 20,000 feet and fly for up to five days at speeds of 90 mph.
Here’s the aircraft ― part blimp, part plane ― at Cardington Airfield:
