A Turkish woman takes umbrage at the misrepresentation of Turkey in Christopher Pike's novel The Secret of Ka. She posts a review on Amazon (and another one on LJ at bookfails) talking about her complaints with the book. Then, a man claiming to be one of Christopher Pike's editors shows up to westsplain her own culture to her. Also he decides that she's been threatening to cut off the author's hands. Arguments include: 1) It's okay for a major character to have an Indian name! He started off being Ahmed but readers liked this other name better. Also, Amesh sounds a lot like Ahmed. Same difference! 2) Turkish, Kurdish, Arab ... it's all a matter of perspective! Who's to say whether a Turkish person is Arab or not? (Not you because I know more about your own ethnic background than you do.) 3) But all those people he wrote about who dress strangely and have foreign names and address their grandfathers by unusual titles are supposed to be weird! We didn't misrepresent Turkish culture at all! It's just that all of those characters are supposed to be iconoclasts or hipsters or something. Yeah. 4) I totally saw a guy wearing a turban in Turkey once! Also, taxi drivers in London and New York wear turbans. (???) 5) All cultures even tangentially related to Islam and the Middle East are segregated, war-torn, and insanely conservative. It's illegal to swear and nobody sits near women and bloody wars are waged outside of the Hilton every night. :( 6) I'm just never going to address the fact that you're offended and feel that your culture was used like a dirty rag at all! 7) u mad :( Ah, I remember well the Turkish capital, Istanbul, that desert city. I nicked this from a mouse at wank_report (thank you mousey!) ETA: A clever person on Amazon dug up proof that the "editor" Michael Brite is actually a sockpuppet of Christopher Pike himself. He seems to mostly use the account to leave worshipful reviews of his own books. Seriously: Perhaps The Best Book I Have Ever Read Christopher Pike's "Thirst" is a masterpiece. The book is not only a fantastic thriller, a mind boggling mystery, but a spiritual revelation. Alisa is a five thousand year old vampire who kills as casually as she makes love. Yet there remains deep within her a painful and yet abiding memory and love for a man she met when she was young, a man who may have been more than a man -- the mysterious Lord Krishna from the Bhagavad Gita, the equivalent of the Indian Bible. However, please do not get the idea this book is about religion. Pike's novel is totally free of dogma. He never says Krishna is God, and his heroine is never sure who Krishna truly is. Also, he is careful not to offend anyone's faith. But there is a heart breaking passage where two of the main characters debate the existence of God. They soon come to the conclusion that "God" is impossible to define or know, but whatever Krishna was, he was too powerful, and too beautiful, to disobey. And that leads to the crux of the story. The master vampire who has created Alisa must destroy all the vampires to gain salvation. Yet, ironically, Krishna has promised Alisa she will have his protection if she obeys him and never creates another vampire. It is the clash of these two contradictory vows that stands at the heart of this brilliant novel. Reading it, I felt I was given an insight into the mystery of life itself. Why, for every good impulse in the world, is there an opposing evil? Yet Pike tells this incredible morality play without preaching. In fact, I suspect most people who read the book will simply enjoy it because it is a kick-ass novel about the most intense character in all of modern fiction. I am trying to say "Thirst" is so much more than a vampire book. It is ultimately a timeless fable of how fear can change to hatred, and then to love, and finally mature into devotion. Pike has managed a small miracle by showing us that these emotion are not truly at odds with each other. For they all reside in every human heart, in the same way, perhaps, the divine does as well. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It changed my life forever. ETA again: Christopher Pike has now made an impressively paranoid post on a website of his accusing the original Amazon reviewer (caligirl_08) of posting negative reviews under multiple aliases, as well as claiming that bookfails is a "livejournal community sponsored by someone of Turkish background who has taken things much too far and is trying to rob fiction authors of their artistic license". Dear Author has also caught wind of this (last item on the page). But wait, there's more! caligirl_08 (bs_08 on bookfails) tackles Pike's aforementioned sexy vampire novel, Thirst. It ... well, I'm just going to leave this here: Initial post: Nov. 7, 2009 3:08 AM PST Michael Brite says: It says clearly in the book that Sita was an Aryan, a well known group who invaded India five thousand years ago. They were all blond and blue-eyed. |

Visiting Fellows & Speakers
Visiting Fellows
John Sacret Young
Spring 2013 Seminar
Literature 036: "Print the Legend: Screenwriting"
Thursday, 2:45 - 5:30 PM, KRV LC63
Screenings Tuesday evenings in the Pickford Auditorium
Course Description
This course will explore the tension between fact and fiction, reality and memory, and how it is captured and depicted in books, memoirs, movies, plays, and screenplays.
The course will investigate how there are often critical and crucial differences between the events of history, both current and past, and even our own lives—the actual experiences—the so-called facts—and what may be the truths or inventions we find in them. How we as a culture, and personally, in search of greater understanding and meaning and importance, knowingly or unknowingly, transform the raw material of biography or autobiography. How this is the case in the creation of our mythology—from the cave paintings to today's network nightly news. How in anecdote or in writing or filming—this is an essence of both human nature and art. How we come to, (quoting John Ford's film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence) "print the legend."
As Barry Levinson says in his film Poliwood, "Certain truths that aren't truths become truths...when you find the right way to tell the story that is the story."
The course will assign books as examples, screen relevant films, invite distinguished guests, and crucially have critical writing and screenwriting exercises for students to illustrate, reveal, and learn from well-known works and from the student's own experiences how we all do this, how we all are Storytellers.
Those interested in taking the course should sign up with the CMC Registrar.
John Sacret Young has often written about men and women at war and the aftermath they carry. He won his first Writers Guild of America Award for his adaptation of Philip Caputo's book A Rumor of War, the only American mini-series made about Vietnam.
He co-created with William Broyles, Jr., wrote, and executive produced the groundbreaking series China Beach. For his work on the show John received five Emmy and four Writers Guild Award nominations, two Golden Globe nominations and one win as Best Drama Series, and both Peabody and People's Choice Awards. The WGA honored him with his second Writer's Guild Award for an episode he also directed.
He is currently writing a script about Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a piece set in the aftermath of World War I as men and women came home from the war that was then thought of as the war that would end all wars.
Ray Ryan
"Publishing Academic Research in the Humanities"
Monday, January 28, 2013
Parents Dining Room
Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum
Is there a crisis in academic publishing, particularly in the humanities but also the social sciences? Is the scholarly monograph in jeopardy? What kind of research is valued in scholarly publishing? These are the questions that Ray Ryan will attempt to address from his wide experience as an editor at Cambridge University Press.

He is the author of Ireland and Scotland: Literature and Culture, State and Nation, 1966-2000 (Oxford 2002), editor of Writing in the Irish Republic: Literature, Culture, Politics 1949-1999, (Macmillan 2001), and, with Liam McIlvanney, co-editor of Ireland and Scotland: Culture and Society (Four Courts 2005) and The Good of the Novel (Faber 2011), which has received a great deal of attention in the United States and Europe: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2011/10/the-good-of-the-critic.html.
He also founded and edited Bullán: An Irish Studies Journal for ten years and received his doctorate from Oxford University.

Sharon Olds
Monday, February 11, 2013
Security Pacific Dining Room
Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum
Sharon Olds is the author of eight volumes of poetry. Her poetry, says Michael Ondaatje, is "pure fire in the hands," and David Leavitt in the Voice Literary Supplement describes her work as "remarkable for its candor, its eroticism, and its power to move." With sensuality, humor, sprung rhythm, and remarkable imagery, she expresses truths about domestic and political violence, sexuality, family relationships, love, and the body. Often compared to "confessional" poets, she has been much praised for the courage, emotional power, and extraordinary physicality of her work. A reviewer for The New York Times hailed her poetry for its vision: "Like Whitman, Ms. Olds sings the body in celebration of a power stronger than political oppression."
Born in San Francisco, Sharon Olds studied at Stanford University and Columbia University. Her numerous honors include a National Endowment for the Arts grant; a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship; the San Francisco Poetry Center Award for her first collection, Satan Says (1980); and the Lamont Poetry Selection and the National Book Critics Circle Award for The Dead and the Living (1983). Named New York State Poet Laureate (1998 – 2000), Olds teaches graduate poetry workshops at New York University (now in its 21st year) and the writing workshop she helped found at a 900-bed state hospital for the severely disabled. She is a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Science. Sharon Olds' latest poetry collection is One Secret Thing (Fall 2008), which was a finalist for the T. S. Eliot Prize & the Forward Prize. Her next collection, Stag's Leap, will be published in September 2012 (Knopf) and went on to win the T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry in a year that saw a record 131 submissions.
Naomi Nye
Thursday, February 28, 2013
Security Pacific Dining Room
Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum
Naomi Shihab Nye describes herself as a "wandering poet." She has spent 37 years traveling the country and the world leading writing workshops and inspiring students of all ages. Nye was born to a Palestinian father and an American mother and grew up in St. Louis, Jerusalem, and San Antonio. She draws from this rich patchwork of cultural heritages and widespread experiences to write verse that attests to our shared humanity.
Nye is the author and/or editor of more than 30 volumes. She has been a Lannan Fellow, a Guggenheim Fellow, and Witter Bynner Fellow (Library of Congress). She has received a Lavan Award from the Academy of American Poets, the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award, the Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award, the Paterson Poetry Prize, four Pushcart Prizes, and numerous honors for her children's literature, including two Jane Addams Children's book awards and, most recently, the 2013 NSK Prize for Children's Literature. Her collection 19 Varieties of Gazelle was a finalist for the National Book Award. Nye's work has been presented on National Public Radio on A Prairie Home Companion and The Writer's Almanac, and she has been featured on two PBS specials: "The Language of Life with Bill Moyers" and "The United States of Poetry." In January 2010 Nye was elected to the Board of Chancellors of the American Academy of Poets.
Victor Masayesva
Monday, March 4, 2013
3:00 PM Screening of "Imagining Indians"
Pickford Auditorium
Dinner, Discussion, and Screening of "Ritual Clowns" Following"
On March 4, Victor Masayesva (Hopi) will screen his new version of the important documentary Ritual Clowns (1988). Through poetic visualization and lyrical translation of Hopi myths, rituals, and history, he explores the evolving and enduring role of the clown in Hopi society. This experimental video is eclectic in its treatment of the illusory ritual clown figures through a combination of live video, ancient oral traditions and computer-generated animation. Maintaining the perspective of the clown as a mirror of human behavior, the film explores the acerbic and ritually cleansing roles of humour, parody, reversals, and prophecy in Southwest Native American rituals and ceremonies.
Following the 40-minute screening, Victor will discuss the use of humour in traditional storytelling and how oral traditions influence his work.
Victor Masayesva is a Hopi media artist with deep knowledge and understanding of the Hopi cultural practices. His visually and intellectually complex layering of video and audio effects, still photographs and hand-painting contrast aspects of Native American cultures with the crippling perceptions and influences of white culture. Raised on Hotevilla on Third Mesa in Hopi, Masayesva graduated from Princeton University, majoring in literature and studying photography with Emmet Gowin. He has been honored with numerous awards including the University of Arizona Distinguished Alumni Award, the Gold Hugo at Chicago Festival, Two Rivers Visionary Award, Taos Festival's distinguished filmmaker award and the American Film Institute's Maya Deren Award.
Girl Rising, A Documentary
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
3:00 PM Screening
Pickford Auditorium
Dinner and Discussion with Production Manager Alex Dionne following the screening
Around the world, millions of girls face barriers to education that boys do not: early forced marriage, domestic slavery, sex trafficking, gender violence and discrimination, lack of access to health care, and school fees. Breaking these barriers will be crucial in breaking cycles of poverty and political oppression.
Girl Rising is an innovative documentary film which journeys around the globe to witness the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change the world. From Academy-Award nominated director Richard E. Robbins, Girl Rising spotlights the stories of unforgettable girls born into unforgiving circumstances. It captures their dreams, their voices, and their remarkable lives.
Each girl's story is transformed for the screen by an acclaimed writer from her native country: Marie Arana from Peru, Edwidge Danticat from Haiti, Mona Elthaway from Egypt, Aminatta Forna from Sierra Leone, Zarghuna Kargar from Afghanistan, Maaza Mengiste from Ethiopia, Sooni Traaporevala from India, Manjushree Thapa from Nepal, and Loung Ung from Cambodia. Cate Blanchett, Priyanaka Chopra, Selena Gomez, Anne Hathaway, Selma Hayak, Alicia Keys, Chloe Moretz, Liam Neeson, Meryl Streep, and Kerry Washington all contribute voice performances to the film, which features original music from Academy Award winner Rachel Portman, in collaboration with Hans Zimmer.
By sharing their personal journeys, the girls of Girl Rising become our teachers. As one of them says, "I feel as though I have power. . .I can do anything. And I have important things to do."
The trailer for the film can be found at http://10x10act.org/girl-rising/ or on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsvklXhYaE

One Important Skin Tip for Your Lips
The secret? Ditch the straw! Drinking soda with a straw activates the perioral muscles in your face, the same muscles that create the dreaded vertical crease lines, perioral wrinkles, around your lips. Laser resurfacing and fillers are great if you already have these lines, but why not stop them before they even start? Other important ways to avoid lip wrinkles?

PHOENIX — Michael Beasley scored a season-high 27 points and the Phoenix Suns rallied from 13 down in the fourth quarter to hand the Los Angeles Lakers their eighth straight road loss, 92-86 on Wednesday night.

This color pigment contains the following standard color pigment packs: 1 Acacia + 1 Wild Horse Smoke
AMERICAN CLAY BLENDED COLORS are pre-measured color packs that are ready to be added to one bag of plaster to achieve a particular color. Each blended color contains multiple standard color packs which are mixed together with one bag of plaster. Example: Seabrook = 2 Kentucky Moon + 1 Verde Valley.
Our American Clay standard color pigments are placed in individual packs that are pre-measured to be added to one bag of plaster. Each individual color pack will vary in weight depending on how much pigment is used to create that specific color. American Clay color pigment packs contain naturally occurring mineral pigments, which means they are resistant to UV light and fading. Our pigments are made in batches and every pack will have a batch number printed on the label. We do recommend using color pigment packs from the same batch. If this is not an option, simply mix clay plaster that has been tinted with two different batches of pigment in order to unify the color for consistency. Blended colors simply combine multiple standard color pigments packs together to create a particular color.
NOTE: If using Enjarre 80 lb. bags of plaster, a ratio of 1 1/4 standard color pigment packs to one 80 lb. bag of Enjarre is used. The 1 1/4 standard color pigment ratio will closely match Loma colors. Example: Seabrook = 2.5 Kentucky Moon + 1.25 Verde Valley. Standard color pigment packs may be used if measured properly, however, measurements can be difficult. To purchase pre-measured 1 1/4 color pigment packs, please call 1-866-404-1634.

Extending GlusterFS with Python
Although this behavior makes sense for many applications, the performance impact for many PHP applications can be severe. Without negative-lookup caching, you're likely to search half of those directories in vain before finding the one that contains each include file, every time the including page is requested. (This pattern does occur in other environments as well, including Python Web applications, but common PHP frameworks cause those applications to be hit the hardest.) Just as the effects are severe, the benefits of adding a negative-lookup cache can be significant. For example, a C version of such a translator decreased average include-search times nearly seven-fold. What could a Python version do?
Here's part of a translator based on glupy:
def lookup_fop (frame, this, loc, xdata):
pargfid = uuid2str(loc.contents.pargfid)
print "lookup FOP: %s:%s" % (pargfid, loc.contents.name)
# Check the cache.
if cache.has_key(pargfid) and (loc.contents.name in cache[pargfid]):
return 0
key = dl.get_id(frame)
requests[key] = (pargfid, loc.contents.name[:])
return 0
This is the function that gets called to look up a file, which is the core functionality for this example. Entry to this function represents a transition from C to Python, while its return represents a transition back to C. Calls through the "dl" object—a handle to the C dynamic library that supports glupy—also suspend the Python interpreter while they run. The Python decorator syntax allows you to hide most of the function-type details, and there's also a notable lack of type-conversion code. Most of what's there is domain-specific code, not boiler plate required by the infrastructure.
In the top half of this function, you simply check the cache to see if you already know the requested file won't be there. If the cache check succeeds, the lookup fails immediately, and you "unwind" the translator stack to report that fact. As with the registration functions, each operation type has its own specific wind (call downward) and unwind (return upward) functions as well. This represents a temporary return from the "Python world" to the "C world", and it's worth noting that these transitions between worlds might occur seamlessly many times while processing a single request. In particular, a common GlusterFS translator idiom is for a completion callback on one request to initiate the next, and if that request completes immediately (as done here), then you can have multiple requests and completions all on the stack at once.
Returning to the code, if you do not find an entry in the cache (and you
already know it must not be in the standard positive-lookup cache or
else you wouldn't even have been called), you pass the request on to the
next translator using wind_lookup
. When that next translator is done, it
returns control (through the glupy meta-translator) to
. Here
you retrieve your request context, conveniently stashed in a dictionary
for you by lookup_fop
, and use it to update the cache according to
whether the file was found.
There are a few other less relevant details of how this particular glupy translator works, but that really is the meat of it. With less than a hundred lines of Python code, including comments and empty lines, you can add a significant piece of functionality to a real filesystem. But, how well does it really work? As it turns out, it works very well; see Table 1. A simple test reveals that the result is slower than the C-based version of the same thing, but still more than four times as fast as the baseline. Clearly, the fact that you're caching these results matters more than what language you're using to do it.
ms/lookup | minimum | average | maximum | 99th percentile |
no caching | 0.368 | 6.898 | 16.286 | 9.702 |
C version | 0.379 | 1.036 | 18.503 | 2.180 |
glupy version | 0.381 | 1.527 | 21.163 | 2.916 |
As promising as these results are, they're more of a beginning than an end. Glupy is still a very young project, and much remains to be done. Support needs to be added for a few dozen more operation types and several data structures. There still are more ways that GlusterFS calls into translators and utility functions that translators themselves call. There are many ways the glupy interface could be made more convenient, and there are undoubtedly performance or concurrency issues still to be resolved. The most important thing is that the basic infrastructure for doing all of these things already exists, and not just for GlusterFS translators. If even a highly multithreaded and asynchronous program like this can take advantage of all that Python has to offer, so can just about any other program. Thanks to Python's extension/embedding interface and ctypes module, a "best of both worlds" approach to developing complex software is more achievable than most people think.

german translation
Professional German Translation
German language one of the most competitive to translate, and some of us are just brave enough to take a stand and learn professional german writing
and reading and not just that translating it also, however some us just gets lucky to be native German speakers. Me personally I am none of the
above, I had some problems translating my business proposal into German to achieve the goal, my dream that I was working day and night for, but life
is not that easy, I tried so many different softwares and yes the ugly truth I translated with a low quality and lost the bid. And that was the day I
owed to bring all those professional and certified translators at one place and do not let anybody else to lose, but rather achieves what they
deserve and that place is

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

A new tradition may have been started Oct. 17 when the Douglas Lady Bulldogs traveled 25 miles up the road to Warren Ball Park to play the Bisbee Lady Pumas in the first ever powder puff football game.
The game was flag football played in two, 20 minute halves but there were plenty of hard hits and knock downs by both sides. On the first play of the game Douglas' Erica Romero was the victim of a forearm shiver into the collar of Romero who went down and was later ruled out of the game.
Bisbee proved to be a little more physical than the Douglas team which had two regular football players playing, Barbara Jordan who plays on the junior varsity football team and Marilyn Grijalva who plays with the varsity Bulldogs.
The Lady Bulldogs threatened to score but were denied late in the game.
A mother of one of the Bisbee players brought the idea up to their school's athletic director who liked the idea and proposed it to Douglas' new athletic director Stephanie Phillips.
Phillips agreed to the game and now a tradition has been started.
Next years game will be played in Douglas.

The clinical nutrition program at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) offers students an opportunity to earn a master's degree in clinical nutrition and is conducted completely online.
Clinical nutrition is concerned with therapeutic uses for nutrition, usually in medical settings as part of a complete health care program. Clinical nutritionists create effective nutrition plans that work toward health outcomes such as disease prevention and treatment, strengthening of the immune system, and nourishment of those unable to care for themselves.
Most students in our program have undergraduate backgrounds in nutrition and wish to increase their level of expertise in the field. Others come from strong science foundations and intend to practice in the realm of medicine and dentistry. Our program does not include all didactic and educational requirements for becoming a registered dietitian (RD).
More information is available by contacting the program director, Dr. Mindy Haar, at firstname.lastname@example.com

A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Series: The Wonder of the Universe
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.
Series: Universe and Multiverse
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Mitochondrial Eve, Y-Chromosome Adam, and Reasons to Believe
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Series: John Polkinghorne on Natural Theology
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
What Are We to Make of Adam and Eve?
There are those who would say that Adam and Eve designate specific historical figures. That makes some sense, acknowledges theologian Alister McGrath, but it makes even more sense to say that Adam and Eve are figures that encapsulate the human race as a whole.
Scripture vs. the Facts? Working through a Crisis of Understanding
I'm a conservative evangelical. When I became a Christian fourteen years ago, I not only embraced profound new spiritual perspectives, but inherited a host of new scientific views: the earth was young, macro-evolution was false, and to affirm the contrary was to discredit the Bible and even the Gospel.
Crabby Christians or Nebulous Data?
Scientists who confront Bible-believing Christians with the physical evidence of theologically-challenging views like old-earth geology or common ancestry are usually incredulous when their well-crafted and well-supported arguments fall on deaf ears. How can something so obvious to one person be so easily dismissed by another?
How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?
Many independent measurements have established that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. Geologists have found annual layers in glaciers that can be counted back 740,000 years. Using the known rate of change in radio-active elements (radiometric dating), some Earth rocks have been shown to be billions of years old, while the oldest solar system rocks are dated at 4.6 billion years. Astronomers use the distance to galaxies and the speed of light to calculate that the light has been traveling for billions of years. The expansion of the universe gives an age for the universe as a whole: 13.7 billion years old.
(Updated April 16, 2012)
How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."
(Updated on March 1, 2012)
Multiple Lines of Evidence for an Old Universe
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.

Divorce isn't easy on adults much less on children. Many times, custody is given to the mother because children attach more to her. Sometimes during divorce proceedings a mother's care is questioned as inadequate or unsafe for her children. In this case, a mother should know her rights.
Mother's Rights
Legal Representation
Hiring a family lawyer is a good way to protect your parental rights. Attorneys who specialize in family law will know the ins and outs of the law and the system. They will advise what mother's rights in child custody hearings are.
In many divorce cases and custody hearings, testimony is a matter of "he said, she said" with little evidence to prove either one correct. If you're going in to dispute accusations of your parenting, bring witnesses with you. Your lawyer will depose witnesses beforehand.
Physical Evidence
Any physical evidence that will help matters. This may include documents or receipts for financial support or doctor statements. If you have any proof of abuse or neglect on his part, give it to your lawyer.
Factors Influencing Custody
There are many factors that influence custody that the court will consider:
- You can provide a stable home.
- You are mentally and physically able to care for your children.
- You were the primary caretaker of your kids. Children have a stronger bond with the parent that did most of the nurturing.
- Your kids can voice their desires to the court.
If the Court Rules Against You
Sometimes the court will award custody to the father. In this situation, mothers have certain rights.
A mother has the right to regular visitations with her children. You may schedule activities during this time. Visits must be free from the interruptions or threats from the father.
A mother has the right to petition the court to enforce visitation. You can also request a hearing when you feel that the agreement has been violated or visitation has been denied.
A mother has the right to stop the father from taking kids over state lines. Many missing children are abducted by parents. You can get an injunction preventing him from taking your kids to an unknown or unreachable destination.
Mother's Obligations
Not only do you have rights, but you have responsibilities as well. You must obey court orders and behave in your children's best interest at all times. You must report any signs of abuse or neglect. Whether you want to or not, you have to work with your ex -husband and maintain an amicable and cooperative relationship.
Going through custody hearings is stressful, but knowing what you're rights are beforehand will help you protect your relationship with your kids.

Police are reportedly looking into the death of another child of Timothy, 25, and Bessie Marcum, 21.
The couple was arrested on Wednesday, March 6, following the death of their youngest child, 1-month-old Alexander. Both were charged with child neglect resulting in death.
Another child of the couple, Timothy Jr., died May 28, 2010. The child was only a few months old, being born Feb. 8, 2010.
The Marcums told officers that both had taken prescription drugs, reportedly among them was Neurontin, which is used to treat pain in the nerves. Both fell asleep, but Timothy was holding Alexander in his arms. The complaint states that "the father fell asleep with the infant in his arms and allowed the infant to slide down between his arm and stomach, causing the infant to die."
Bessie was charged because she knew Timothy had taken drugs and still allowed him to be the care taker of the child.
Sgt. L.J. McClung of the Logan State Police detachment, told The Daily Mail the couple lived in the home with the infant Alexander and two-year-old Kayden. Child Protective Services removed Kayden from the home, the trooper said.
Logan Sheriff Sonya Porter said the evidence from the investigation into Timothy Jr.'s death has been retrieved and turned over to the county prosecutor's office. She said it was her understanding that some of that information had been turned over to the State Police.
"We're providing as much information as we can on this," Porter said.
Timothy remains at Southwestern Regional Jail on $50,000 bond. Bessie was released on a $50,000 bond.

The service was excellent and would stay again in the Mimosa, but I would prefer another room, which is more located to the ocean than to the street.
