Because each DS2438 contains a unique silicon serial number, multiple DS2438s can exist on the same 1-Wire bus. This allows multiple battery packs to be charged or used in the system simultaneously.
Applications for the smart battery monitor include portable computers, portable/cellular telephones, and handheld instrumentation battery packs in which it is critical to monitor real-time battery performance. Used in conjunction with a microcontroller in the host system, the DS2438 provides a complete smart battery pack solution that is fully chemistry-independent. The customization for a particular battery chemistry and capacity is realized in the code programmed into the microcontroller and DS2438 EEPROM, and only a software revision is necessary should a designer wish to change battery pack chemistry.

This feels like the first truly impressive thing I made. My sister was visiting and she's a vegetarian, so I wanted to make something we could both enjoy and this risotto recipe seemed ambitious, yet manageable. It's not difficult, but it is a bit time consuming. It takes about a full hour to make, but trust me, it's worth it. This risotto is absolutely delicious. It's rich, creamy, cheesy, flavorful and impressive enough to serve to guests. They will never guess it's a Weight Watchers recipe unless you tell them because it seems so decadent. I will definitely make this again!
I wanted to serve a side dish along with the risotto and I came across this quick recipe for Spinach with Pine Nuts & Raisins, which seemed like a nice complement. It really couldn't be faster or easier to make and it turned out to be an elegant and harmonious match to the creamy risotto. Both recipes are below.
Mushroom Risotto & Spinach with Pine Nuts
Source: Adapted from weightwatchers.com
Mushroom Risotto
Ingredients:5 cup(s) vegetable broth, mushroom-flavor recommended
1 spray(s) cooking spray
2 tsp unsalted butter, divided
1 small onion(s), minced
1 pound(s) cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced (also known as baby bellas)
1/3 cup(s) white wine
1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked arborio rice
1/2 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
1. Place broth in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover to keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, coat a large saucepan with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Add1 teaspoon butter and cook until melted.
3. Add onion; cook, stirring, until onion begins to caramelize, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release moisture, about 5 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; reduce liquid by half, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside.
4. Add remaining teaspoon of butter to same pan; cook until melted. Add rice; stir to coat with butter. Pour about 1/2 cup warm broth into rice; stir to keep grains from sticking to sides of pan. Keep stirring until all of broth is absorbed. Add another 1/2 cup warm broth and repeat process. Keep adding broth and stirring in this manner until all of broth is used and rice is just cooked but not mushy (should still be slightly chewy), about 18 to 20 minutes.
5. Stir in vegetables and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Yields about 1-1/3 cups per serving.
Yields 6 servings. WW P+: 7 per serving
Spinach with Pine Nuts & Raisins
2 Tbsp raisins
1 Tbsp hot water
1 tsp olive oil
1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
1 bunch(es) spinach
1 Tbsp pine nuts, toasted
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1. In a small microwavable bowl, plump raisins with hot water on high heat for 30 seconds.
2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm oil; add garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and stir occasionally until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Toss with raisins, nuts, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Yields 2 servings. WW P+: 3 per serving

Chapel Hill may change its towing rules after an upward spike in complaints about predatory towing downtown.
Companies have been using surveillance cameras to catch illegal parkers on private business lots - a tactic towing companies call innovative, but others call predatory.

There are no rules against using cameras on private lots.
Thirteen surveillance cameras monitor one parking lot on West Franklin Street.

Stocks ease as earnings, jobless claims disappoint
Associated Press October 18, 2012 8:48AM
Updated: October 18, 2012 2:29PM
Stocks are opening mostly lower, breaking a four-day winning streak for the Dow Jones industrial average, following a leap in claims for unemployment benefits and a mixed batch of corporate earnings reports.
The Dow was down 18 points at 13,539 shortly after the opening bell Thursday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was off four at 1,457 and the Nasdaq composite was down eight at 3,095.
The Labor Department reported that applications for unemployment benefits jumped last week to the highest level in four months. That suggests layoffs are picking up again.
BB&T bank, Philip Morris and Boston Scientific all fell after reporting earnings that came in below analysts' forecasts.

SS13 Copiapo – La Serena 90 km liaison - 441 km special - 204 km liaison
From the Atacama desert to La Serena on the Pacific coast, the rally is heading down to Santiago where tomorrow the Chilean capital will celebrate the protagonists of the 2013 Dakar.
Because of the "camanchaca", the fog that characterises this region, riders set off very late for this stage, normally starting around 04:00 am, the first bikes today started at 08:00 for the last dunes of the rally.
Tough right until the end, today's 441-km long special was split into 2 timed sections: dunes for the first part followed by a faster special on stony terrain. With 13 hard stages and 7,794 km behind them, navigation as well as concentration were the key points of this stage, the riders had to attack to gain positions but also to preserve the bike aiming for tomorrow's final stage.
Team HRC Riders Helder Rodrigues rode with a consistent pace finishing 6th, 09'37" behind Chilean Chaleco Lopez, who won today's stage ahead of Despres (+05'25") and Goncalves with Javier Pizzolito 11th and Johnny Campbell, 33rd. Despres is leading the general classification while Rodrigues and Pizzolito sit in the top 10, in 7th and 8th place respectively.
Helder Rodrigues, SS13 6th +9'37, 7th overall: It was a good day for me, the stage was fast and focused on navigation. I started 5th and recovered a lot of the positions in the first sandy special. I started in front in the second timed section and I continued pushing but I hesitated at km 410 and Chaleco overtook me. All In all, I'm happy with this stage and I look forward to the final day."
Javier Pizzolito, SS13 11th +12'28, 8th overall: "It was a tough stage. We are tired from 13 hard stages and today I struggled a bit to maintain the concentration. Moreover, it was a 441-km long stage and it was very tiring for the body. I look forward to tomorrow final stage".
Johnny Campbell SS13 33rd +38'10" 40th overall: "It was a long stage. I struggled in the dunes as I have not recovered from the injuries of the last days and I preferred to ride conservatively. I enjoyed the second special on hard pack as this kind of terrain is less tiring for my body. With one more stage to go, we are getting closer to the end of the rally, the target is Santiago".

PREMIUMADRESS supplies continuously updated and amended address data. If your items cannot be delivered, you will be notified of this.
A differentiation is made between information on undeliverable mail items, relocation and incorrect addresses.The updated information on addresses and undeliverable items can normally be obtained within 1 to 2 days following attempted delivery, so that the item can be redelivered within a short time frame.
The information on addresses and undeliverable items can either be downloaded in your secure customer area at www.premiumadress.de, or it can be transferred via SFTP or you can request a print-out.
- Which types of mail item are eligible to use Premiumadress?
You can use PREMIUMADRESS for INFOPOST, letters and press products.
- Is Premiumadress a contract product?
Yes. In the contract master data for the PREMIUMADRESS System is collected, e.g. customer number, return address, billing address, regulator/publisher ID and the PREMIUMADRESS ID.
With the access data for your secure customer area you can download your address information from here.
- What sources are used to collate address information?
- Checks to ensure your mail items can be delivered are made by Deutsche Post mail carriers.
- Alignment with the relocation and deceased recipient database
- Alignment with the undeliverable mail items database (optional)
- How quickly are addresses supplied?
This depends primarily on the lead time for each basic product (letter, INFOPOST, press distribution) and any incorrect address details identified. The addresses are normally supplied within 1 to 2 days after attempted delivery.
- What differentiates Premiumadress from an advance notice?
In addition to the mail carrier checking on deliverability, details are aligned with the relocation and deceased recipient database. The address data are also made available to you electronically (download or via SFTP), and as an electronic list upon request.
- What details does the information on undeliverable mail contain?
We will notify you whether the recipient was not known, the item was refused, the item was not collected or the recipient is deceased.
- What does Premiumadress cost?
You pay per piece of address information supplied*. This means that the better the quality of your addresses, the smaller the costs for you. The price remains the same irrespective of which of the 7 product types you choose.
* For the print-out address list you pay an additional EUR 0.90 for the print and dispatch per 40 addresses started.

Data matrix code
- What data matrix codes are available?
The PREMIUMADRESS data matrix code is created in conjunction with the particular type of franking used, e.g. IT franking data matrix code, PREMIUMADRESS data matrix code (for INFOPOST, stamp cancelling, personal stamp cancelling, PLUSBRIEF), FRANKIT data matrix code, press distribution data matrix code. PREMIUMADRESS has been integrated into these data matrix codes. PREMIUMADRESS Label provides you with a simplified solution, although it does not give you the full flexibility of PREMIUMADRESS because codes are not created for each separate item.
- What is Premiumadress Label?
For customers who do not wish to use any software we have developed PREMIUMADRESS Label with an integrated data matrix code. This enables you to create your PREMIUMADRESS information easily on a PC which you can then use straightaway. PREMIUMADRESS Label is particularly well suited to small mail items, enabling you to leave out customer-specific information in the data matrix code, thus making it less flexible.
- What information does the data matrix code contain?
Irrespective of the type of franking used the following information is stored in the data matrix code:
- Customer number of the sender (for IT franking for the contractual partner)
- PREMIUMADRESS ID to manage various return addresses, data and invoice recipients
- Version number of the product key list
- Product key for the basic product with requested PREMIUMADRESS product type
- Customer-specific data
No customer-specific information is contained using FRANKIT and PREMIUMADRESS Label. - Can I also use the data matrix code for customer purposes?
If yes, which? -
Yes. One third of the data matrix code is available for you to use for your own purposes, e.g. for recipient customer numbers, department information, cost center allocation and customer information.
Exception: FRANKIT data matrix code and PREMIUMADRESS Label. Limited customer-specific information can be displayed via a reference number printed on the item in plain text above the recipient address. This number is recorded by Deutsche Post and returned with the address information.
- Is the information stored in the data matrix code, such as customer number or advertising code supplied electronically with the results on the deliverability of items?
Yes. The "customer-specific information from the data matrix code" is sent back to you along with the address information.
Exception: Retoure option
- Is there a program certification process with Premiumadress?
In the case of IT franking, the PREMIUMADRESS data matrix code for INFOPOST, AFM, PWZ etc. as well as press distribution franking is subject to certification of the data content of the franking mark using test prints carried out by technical consultants or the PREMIUMADRESS service team. This is to ensure that the items are correctly processed and that the sender is provided with the address information they require. In the case of IT franking and press distribution franking this certification is compulsory. But in the case of the PREMIUMADRESS data matrix code and FRANKIT items and PREMIUMADRESS Label certification is also recommended prior to dispatch, in order to ensure that the data matrix code and print quality are correct.
- How can the data matrix code be produced?
INFOPOST and letters using PREMIUMADRESS can be produced using INFOPOST-MANAGER. For standard periodicals the MANAGER PRESSE DISTRIBUTION is available. The current IT franking software solutions also support PREMIUMADRESS and FRANKIT. There are also various software solution providers that support the data matrix code.
Further information is available from the PREMIUMADRESS service team (e-mail: email@example.com) or your IT franking adviser, whom you can find at www.deutschepost.de/dv-freimachung.
PREMIUMADRESS Label is a simplified solution which enables you to create your data matrix code without requiring other software on your PC.
- Can envelopes with sender's instructions printed on them also have a Premiumadress impression?
Envelopes with sender's instructions (in writing) printed on them can also have a Premiumadress impression. In such cases Premiumadress will override sender' instructions.
Data provision
- How are amended and new data returned?
You can choose between downloading the data packages via the PREMIUMADRESS application online and data transfer via SFTP through the EDI Competence Center at Deutsche Post AG. Choose from CSV, XML or TXT data formats. We can also send you a print-out of your address information upon request.
- What data does the data record contain?
Your data record contains the following information in particular:
- Address of mail item
- Relocation address (old and new address according to redirection order)
- Address status note (undeliverable, moved etc.)
- Outcome of delivery (delivered, redirected, destroyed)
- Content of data matrix code used (e.g. recipient customer number)
- Billing information
Sample data records can be downloaded in the download section as well as a printed address list by way of example. A detailed description of the data records can be found in the PREMIUMADRESS handbook.
- How are addresses protected against misuse?
The data transfer uses https when downloading. Upon request the data package can be PGP encoded (PGP=Pretty Good Privacy) during the SFTP transfer.
- Are address lists passed on to third parties?
No. Address details may not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances.
- What does "Information that a mail item is undeliverable confirmed by database check" mean?
"Information that a mail item is undeliverable confirmed by database check" means that a mail carrier reported an address as "undeliverable" and that this address has been subsequently checked against the mail reference file and other database resources at Deutsche Post Direkt and confirmed as undeliverable. The information that an address is "undeliverable" can come from a number of sources (for example as a result of an internal address check).
- What data does the redirection database contain?
The database is supplied from the current (valid) redirection orders for private individuals and companies.
- Where do the entries for the deceased recipients database come from?
The database contains all persons known to be deceased from the mail reference file, which were taken from the cooperation with the Bundesverband des Deutschen Bestattungsgewerbes (German Federal Association of Funeral Directors) or other cooperation partners (internal address checks, redirection order).

text: To assist States with the implementation of Article 9 and Part 3 of the Technical Annex, in 2009 the then Coordinator on Generic Preventive Measures, Colonel Jean-Christophe Le Roux of France, developed a questionnaire which serves as a checklist for States to consider when they are developing procedures, guidelines or regulations on the implementation of generic preventive measures. The checklist has been reproduced in full below. It can also be found in Protocol V document CCW/P.V/CONF/2010/6/Add.1, 11 November 2010. Essentially the checklist is a tool to facilitate the implementation of generic preventive measures. While it does not have any legal status, it is hoped that the checklist will clarify various issues, establish best practises and serve to monitor and improve the implementation of generic preventive measures at the national level. 1.

Rim Fire Started by Illegal Campfire
The cause of the fourth worst wildfire in California has been traced to a campfire started by a hunter.
The massive Rim Fire, now the fourth-largest wildfire in California's history, was sparked by a hunter's illegal fire, U.S. Forest Service officials said Thursday.
The fire began on Aug. 17 in the Stanislaus National Forest near the Jawbone Ridge area and has burned 237,341 acres. It is 80 percent contained.
Four Palo Alto Firefighters participated in a Santa Clara County Fire strike team deployed to help contain the fire and protect structures.
The Forest Service announced that personnel from its Law Enforcement and Investigations division and the Tuolumne County District Attorney's Office have determined that the blaze started after the hunter "allowed an illegal fire to escape."
There is no indication that the fire is related to a marijuana-growing operation, as had been rumored, according to the Forest Service.
The hunter's name has not yet been released.
The Rim Fire destroyed the city of Berkeley's Tuolumne Family Camp, located off of state Highway 120 west of the entrance to Yosemite National Park.
As of Thursday morning, 1,900 homes were still threatened and evacuations were in effect, according to Cal Fire.

Indeed, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are together regarded as "Abrahamic" religions, insofar as all three of them share common roots, which are traditionally traced back to the ancient Hebrew patriarch Abraham. (As founded by Muhammad in the 7th century AD, Islam was born in Arabia, and both Jews and Arabs are likewise classed as "Semitic" peoples; each group is traditionally regarded as descended from Shem, a son of Noah.)

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Hello, I have a big problem with the SNMPV3 functionality. I test this library with an SNMPv3 agent available on the web (http://www.mg-soft.si/snmpv3.html#SNMPv3ACCESS), but a lot of response are bad. One request is running when i use the NoAuthNoPriv. Here is my commands with responses:
C:\Test_SnmpV3>snmpget -v=3 -l=noauthnoPriv -u=noAuthUser 188.8.131.52 126.96.36.199.18.104.22.168.0 Variable: Id: .22.214.171.124.18.104.22.168.0; Data: Hardware: x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 8 AT/AT COMPATIBLE - Software: Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build 2195 Uniprocesso r Free) C:\Test_SnmpV3>snmpget -v=3 -l=authnoPriv - a=MD5 -A=AuthPassword -u=MD5_User 22.214.171.124 126.96.36.199.22.214.171.124.0 Variable: Id: .188.8.131.52.184.108.40.206.1.2.0; Data: 19634 C:\Test_SnmpV3>snmpget -v=3 -l=authPriv -a= MD5 -A=AuthPassword -x=DES -X=PrivPassword -u=MD5_DES_User 126.96.36.199 184.108.40.206. 22.214.171.124.0 Variable: Id: .22.214.171.124.126.96.36.199.1.2.0; Data: 19635
I don't know what do you mean by "a lot of response are bad".
Like you advised, I executed the commands against this remote agent. I tried each five times, and only one error occurred,
G:\sharpsnmplib\bin>snmpget -v=3 -l=authPriv -a=MD5 -A=AuthPassword -x=DES -X=PrivPassword -u=MD5_DES_User 126.96.36.199 184.108.40.206.22.214.171.124.0 TimeoutException: timeout: 1000
This is expected, as SNMP v3 communication is slow, and setting a small timeout value can lead to such exceptions.
If you experienced other problems, you may paste out the error messages, or send the Wireshark captures to me.
Generally speaking, SNMP is not designed for Internet communications as the packets may lost in the middle. Therefore, to test out #SNMP, I typically use a local Net-SNMP agent. Milan (SNMP#NET author) uses a snmp4j agent. Local agents have better performance and are easier to test out.
Hi, After your reply , i tested this library with an other SNMP Agent. I tested with Linux SNMPD and it works. I tested with an Hirshman switch and it works. So I'm sorry! In fact, this URL http://www.mg-soft.si/snmpv3.html#SNMPv3ACCESS is not reliable. This soft doesn't respect the authentification sequence. When i send a discovery, this Agent give me a response with an EngineId but not a EngineBots and EngineTime. Thank you very much for this library and for your disponibility.

10.5: Reconnect Time Machine backup after drive swap
Now I have to confess to being Terminally illiterate. So:
10.5: Reconnect Time Machine backup after drive swap
- do I boot from a different volume when I attempt to change the UUID on my normal boot drive, or can I do it while booted from that volume?
That is probably a good idea in order to avoid potential confusion, although it should not be absolutely necessary. If you do it while running from that same volume, just be sure to complete the change and then restart the system right away so the change will take effect. - what is the full path to the root of a boot drive? Just / . All other volumes are mounted under /Volumes/ . You can find the path by simply dropping a file, folder or even a drive into a Terminal window: The respective path is then automatically inserted into the current input line. - do I need to log in as root admin, or can I log in via my usual user account? Calling the respective functions via sudo already takes care of that (your account must be enabled as an admin account for this, and you will be asked for your password on execution). But there is no need to explicitly log in as root. - is there an easier way to change this UUID? Not to my knowledge. Normally it is not supposed to be done, so it shouldn't be easy, really. ;-) I've searched extensively and haven't found references to any of this online - is there a reference book or source, no matter how wonky, that I can but? I'm not aware of a book (which could well exist), but for some of the background the articles by John Siracusa on ars technica about Mac OS X are quite interesting. Thanks so much for tolerating me. I can make a dozen major apps dance and sing, but Terminal is NOT one of them.
No problem � I always recommend anyone to be careful about treading unfamiliar ground, but I'll try to help where I can. :-)--- --- There are no problems... Edited on Mar 27, '10 04:56:34AM by only_solutions

text: With free agency starting on Tuesday, the Saints will be looking for help to improve their dreadful defense. The Black and Gold won't have much money to work with, though, as they're right up against the salary cap. Restructuring the deals of several players (Marques Colston, Jahri Evans, Ben Grubbs, Curtis Lofton, and David Hawthorne for instance) has helped free up some money, however. Since the Saints won't have lots of cash to bring in big name free agents, finding impact players they can sign for cheap is paramount. One player the Saints should target is linebacker Victor Butler (6'2, 245lbs), an unrestricted free agent for the Dallas Cowboys. Butler, a defensive end for Oregon State, was a 4th round pick in the 2009. The Cowboys converted him to an outside linebacker for their 3-4 defense. Despite being a back-up for his four seasons, Butler still managed to record 89 tackles, 11 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles. He's played in 63 games, only missing one back in 2010. His defensive coordinator the past two years? Rob Ryan. The same guy the Saints just hired to install a 3-4 defense in New Orleans. WWL NFL analyst Mike Detillier compared Butler to Junior Gallette, saying he's "fast off the edge" and "flashes good skills to rush the QB." However, Detillier cautioned that he's never been a full time player, and Butler is more potential than production at this point. He also says that Butler struggles against the run game because he "has trouble getting off blocks when run plays are directed right at him." Butler has just been a back-up thus far, but he was stuck behind playmakers like DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer. His salary last year was only $615,000. While he should command much more than that once he hits the open market, the Saints could still get him for relatively cheap. He's familiar with Rob Ryan and his defense. Butler wouldn't be a flashy free agent, but the Saints should try and get him.

Series: Evolution Basics (39 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
... 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.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
(Needs a summary)
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.

FORT WORTH A 21-year veteran of the Fort Worth Police Department was in serious condition late Tuesday at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital after he was shot by a man fleeing police, authorities said.
The officer was not immediately identified. WFAA/Channel 8 reported that sources said he had been shot three times, but Officer Sharron Neal, a police spokeswoman, said she did not have that information.Earlier, his condition was listed as critical, but Neal said at 9:35 p.m. that the officer had been upgraded to serious condition.The shooting occurred shortly before 5 p.m. while two Fort Worth officers were visiting with a business owner in the 1900 block of Carson Street in Haltom City. The area is just south of Carson Street's intersection with Texas 121.Cpl. Joe Hackfeld, Haltom City police spokesman, said the incident began when a patrol officer from his city tried to stop a vehicle during a narcotics investigation. The driver refused to stop and a chase ensued.Hackfeld said he didn't know where the chase began, but it led to the Carson Street area, where the driver abandoned the vehicle and ran.The Haltom City officer lost sight of the man, so officers began searching the neighborhood.Meanwhile, the two Fort Worth officers were visiting with the owner of 2nd Opinion Auto Center, said Officer Sharron Neal, a Fort Worth police spokeswoman. They learned from Haltom City police that a search was under way."A moment later, an employee came up and said a suspect was at the rear of the business," Neal said. "When officers went there, they were fired upon, at which time, officers returned fire."Hackfeld said the suspect was also wounded by gunfire. He was taken to a Fort Worth hospital, but she declined to say which one. He was not immediately identified.Both Hackfeld and Neal said late Tuesday that they had no information about the suspect's condition, including whether he had died.Mayor Betsy Price and Tracey Knight, another Fort Worth police spokeswoman, updated the media on the officer's condition at the hospital Tuesday evening. Police Chief Jeff Halstead was out of state but would quickly return to Fort Worth, Knight said.Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

A new credential indicates acquired knowledge of best practices in green product evaluation and procurement
Twenty (20) professionals in the commercial buildings field are adding a new credential to their business cards – the Green Purchasing Accredited Professional (GPAP). This new credential indicates acquired knowledge of best practices in green product evaluation and procurement.
New U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission risk reporting directives and federal procurement directives on greenhouse-gas reduction are making science-based knowledge of a product's environmental performance essential. As more than 60 percent of most corporate and government budgets is spent on procuring products and services, the ROI of using best green purchasing practices is high.
The first class of GPAPs includes property managers and sourcing specialists with CB Richard Ellis and designers with BNIM Architects. These professionals completed six online courses and an exam developed by The Green Standard.
The Green Purchasing Accredited Professional Training credential encompasses diverse training tools and provides an efficient framework for use of green procurement standards and eco-labels, industry-specific standards and certification programs, and multiple- and single-attribute eco-labels.

Recipe by ~Jen~
"Butter crackers are baked with bacon and brown sugar to make a delicious snack. "
Watch video tips and tricks
36 buttery crackers such as Keebler Club® Crackers
12 slices bacon, cut into thirds
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
I tried this both ways, partial cooking bacon and baking at 300 and raw bacon and cooking at 250 for a longer time. The raw way at 250 is much better, bacon and brown sugar soaks into the craker and tastes so much better
As I read other comments, I decided to make this recipe leaner by pre-cooking the bacon a little more, and get rid of the grease. I found it to be very dry, and the brown sugar didn't "melt." I think it needed more of the grease to dissolve the sugar and crisp up. I'll try it again.

I made these for a pot luck and they were a huge hit...the crackers didn't get too greasy and smelled even better on Day 2....I used dark brown sugar...the only think I would recommend is that you should use a sieve or colander to help spread to brown sugar more evenly...hard to do with a spoon. Also I put the bacon the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up to make cutting it easier, just a personal preference but otherwise without doing that the heat from my hands melted the bacon fat and it was harder to pull apart slices for each cracker. I'll make this again and again....after about 45 minutes in the oven at 250F, upped it to 300F, watched carefully and then broiled them for a couple minutes to get any remaining sugar to melt and caramelize.
I mixed cooked chopped bacon with the brown sugar and blended it all with cream cheese before spreading on the crackers (then no need to toast). Unbelieveably delicious. My husband saved some extra for his breakfast bagel.
If you can't get extremely lean bacon, I would think that precooking the bacon till 90% done, would really help this recipe to not be greasy...and it would take lots less time to bake. Otherwise, I'd bake them on a rack [in the pan], so most of the bacon grease could run off.
This is a really great recipe. Really simple and guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. I used Ritz crackers IPO Club crackers. I have an electric oven that runs a little slow, so I baked these at 275 for an hour and a half. You need to bake these long and slow to really get the best results. I baked them on a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil laid out, no need to bake on a rack, I wanted the crackers to soak up the grease, that's what makes these good. Gone in NO time.
I just made a trial-run of these. They are very good. The only problem was, the 250 degree oven wasn't working. I moved mine to 275 degree's and that was perfect! They weren't greasy or too sweet at all!
I have made this easy recipe for many years and always gotten rave reviews. To reduce calories and mess, I don't even use any brown sugar and people still love them. I do always cook them on a rack to prevent them from becoming too oily and to prevent oven flare-ups.

Installing Cherokee With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 12
Installing Cherokee With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 12Version 1.0 Cherokee is a very fast, flexible and easy to configure Web Server. It supports the widespread technologies nowadays: FastCGI, SCGI, PHP, CGI, TLS and SSL encrypted connections, virtual hosts, authentication, on the fly encoding, load balancing, Apache compatible log files, and much more. This tutorial shows how you can install Cherokee on a Fedora 12 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! 1 Preliminary NoteIn this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.0.100. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate. 2 Installing MySQL 5First we install MySQL 5 like this: yum install mysql mysql-server Then we create the system startup links for MySQL (so that MySQL starts automatically whenever the system boots) and start the MySQL server: chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on Create a password for the MySQL user root (replace yourrootsqlpassword with the password you want to use): mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword 3 Installing CherokeeCherokee is available as a Fedora package, therefore we can install it like this: yum install cherokee Next we create the system startup links for Cherokee and start it: chkconfig --levels 235 cherokee on Now direct your browser to http://192.168.0.100, and you should see the Cherokee placeholder page: Cherokee can be configured through a web-based control panel which we can start as follows: cherokee-admin -b (By default cherokee-admin binds only to 127.0.0.1 (localhost), which means you can only connect to it from the same system. With the -b parameter you can specify the network address to listen to. If no IP is provided, it will bind to all interfaces.) Output should be similar to this one: [root@server1 ~]# cherokee-admin -b You need the username and password to log into the web interface which can be found on http://192.168.0.100:9090/: This is how the web interface looks: To stop cherokee-admin, type CTRL+C on the shell. 4 Installing PHP5We can make PHP5 work in Cherokee through FastCGI. Therefore we install the package php-cli: yum install php-cli 5 Configuring PHP5We must modify /etc/php.ini and add the line cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 right at the end of the file: vi /etc/php.ini
Then we restart Cherokee: /etc/init.d/cherokee restart

I have always liked to include cantrips in my games.
I find it enjoyable to utterly crush an opponent.
Rothgar the HUGH steps out with his sword of Massiveness and swings hard overhead. Smiting his opponent so hard that the life is crush out of him, leaving a lifeless shell.
But that can get a little boring. More fun is beating someone who is tougher than you are. Beating them stealthily requires though, a plan, and a little luck. I think it is fun to use distraction and manipulate the victim to do what I want instead of what they want.
Rothgar the tiny (a magic school drop out) cast "spot on the wall", one of the few spells that he ever learned, causing a red spot to appear on the wall in front of Mangus Magnison the giant guard. Mangus immediately saw the spot and began to follow it; Rothgar saw this and caused the spot to go down the hall away from Rothgar. Then Rothgar…
So that is my reason. The key thing is that none of these are powerful, no body will wil the war single handedly with these cantrips.
Some of the cantrips that I like are (standard saving throws apply):
Twitch (cause victims eye to twitch)
Spot on the wall
Somewhere in my collection I have a D&D net spell book, that has a good collection of cantrips, if I can find it I will post the cantrips. Can anyone think of fun to do spells that do not have to much power? I am looking for something a Magic School dropout/washout might have learned before leaving Magic School.
Please remember the rules for Cantrips
1)No cantrip can Directly injure another individual
2)No cantrip can Directly interupt anothers concentration
3)When influencing another or anothers possessions then that person is intitled to a save vs. spells
4)Cantrips will not harm any magical item,or any item or person within the protection of a Protection from Cantrips Spell
5)Specialists cannot creat cantrips belonging to their opposition schools
6)When two wizards are attempting to influence the same person or item with teleknesis cantrip or a similar type a Prof Check is Required the one with the best check wins.
p.s. I should include a link to Strolens own http://www.strolen.com/netbooks/cantrips.txt
Additional Ideas (32)
Groan: A spell which generates groaning noises. These could be used to embarrass foreign dignitaries, engender caution or fear in mineshafts or create distractions. It's more limited than ordinary aural illusions, as it can only make groaning noises.
Summon wasp: After a whole term's work on conjuration theory, this is the first conjuration spell learned by all wizards in their first term at university. It's fairly self-explanatory.
Extinguish candles: Creates a mere whisper of wind for blowing out candles at a distance. This is the sort of spell learned by naughty first-year wizards who are punished by being forced to clean up after the senior wizards' dinners. Walking from one end of the table to the other is seen as too strenuous, so cantrips like this are learned for efficiency.
Minor telekinesis: This is for manoeuvering small objects from a short distance. Pens can be lifted, but coherent writing is very rare. It feels like trying to do up a button with cold hands.
minor illusion - allows the student to look awake and mask any snoring noises while sleeping in class.
wilt - at a touch and dry up and shrivel a plant. Can possibly be used as a prank to drain a class of liquid as well.
control insect - only a single small bug at a time, can direct the bug to move where the caster wills.
mind blank - works only on a single thought, but can make the person who is trying to make a point draw a blank and momentarily forget what they were talking about. Only lasts small amount of time then they can remember naturally what they were saying. No long term affects.
The following are minor versions of Ventriloquism (Ignore any Game-Specificness). To use them the caster must create the sound and project it on the targets area, not necessarily the target himself/herself. This cantrip is designed to teach the student how to summon the appropriate mystical energies. This cantrip cannot be used to project voice, or else the caster could not chant and therefore not cast the spell.
Burp Self explanatory
Fart Self explanatory
Stomach Growl Self explanatory
Requirements - Line of sight, Caster must create the sound, chanting (does not have to be loud)
Distance - 50 yards
Requires chanting
Distance touch (no where specific)
Power Word Piss See above.
Requirements - oily rag
Distance - Touch
Reversible - yes requirements are a clean rag
Pull a small illusion out of one's hat (i.e. rabbit, squirrel, mouse)
Flicker - an illusion for the aspiring mage, it ceates a faint motion in the air, just enough to attract attention and distract people.
Magelight - a ball of pale light that hovers around at the caster's will. It sheds only enough light to allow a mage to read within a 2' radius, and allows sight to perhaps 10'.
Mask Flavor - Subdues the natural flavors of the food being consumed. Good for those pepper eating contests.
Alter Flavor - Makes a subtle change to the flavor of the food being consumed, so gruel could taste more like oatmeal with apples and cinnimon, hard tack could taste more like a flaky pastery, or conversly, some offending persons steak could taste more like it was marinated in the privies. The caster must have knowledge of the flavor being imitated, though...
Booger - Make the illusion of a slimy booger just on the edge of hanging out of the targets nose.
Gooseflesh - Gives target goosebumps. Great for those campfire stories.
Smudge - Creates a small blurry mark on the surface of an object.
Naughty - Creates a brief mental image in targets mind of something obscene and uncivilized. Examples: French kissing your mom, Seeing grandma naked, rubbing your naked body with produce, etc. They arn't compelled to act, but simply get the small flash that may or may not influence them.
Break quill - Weakens the tips of feather quills to cause them to snap. Will not work on especially exotic feathers, like the kind used in scribing scrolls, or any other type of quill, like metal or bone.
Tinitus - Creates a ringing in the targets ear that makes things a bit more difficult to hear. Picasso suffered from chronic tinitus, which drove him mad and was one of the reasons he cut off his ear.
Mend Will "heal" small objects back together if all the pieces are present.
re-Warm: Will heat the material back to a previously heated temperature. It will not reach forge temperatures, but will reheat food and such.
Room Cool: Brings things to room temperature.
Chill: Chills target to about 35F or 3C for a while. Will not work on things with a body temp.
cook: Warming spell
Slip Makes someone's feet slippery for an instant.
Stick - a moment Makes something stick like glue for a second or three. Great for gags and causing falls.
Stick Two objects are bound like they are glued by conventional glue.
Tune - a favorite of bards, this cantrip tunes any stringed insturment to perfection.
Puff - conjures a puff of smoke; often enough to distract a guard for several minutes.
Example: Fellowship of the ring, Gandalf while talking to Frodo (I think that is where I saw it)
Push- like a strong shove from the caster.
Pull- a single handed pull from the caster
Veer- Makes a thrown or rolling object veer to the right or the left. Works only on a single object. Useful defensive cantrip.
Toss- As if the caster tossed said item. If the caster has no skill in tossing or throwing, the aim of said item can be dodgy at best.
Stay- Hold the item down, as if the caster was holding said item down with one hand.
Spin- Will cause the item to spin. The amount of spin depends on the weight or the resistance. The amount of spin is based upon the caster's strength with one hand.
Together- Cantrip makes any bundle or bag stay upright and together, as if the caster was there holding it and trying to prevent it from spilling.
Spill- The reverse of together, as if the caster was knocking the bag over. Usually the only way to knock over a "together" item and have it spill.
Light- It makes it easier to carry an object. It is as if the caster was lifting (or assisting in lifting) target object with a single arm.
The item required to cast all of these is a glove.
This skill simply adds a +1 to a specific skill check. (+5% guess). This spell can stack, so you can have skill bonus 4, granting +4.
The requirement for the spell is to stare at a mandela and concentrate for five minutes or so. This psuedo meditation limits the raw effectivness of the Skill Bonus cantrip for the adventurous sorts.
The bonus will end when the task ends or the "end of the scene" which ever is first.
This will mostly be used for crafting skills (cook, craft wood, craft metal, farming), though someone will create Use Sword, Use Mace, Use Bow, and so on. Concentration and magic skills proper might be an option.
Adapt this to your system, with a cap of a good modifier to a skill roll (+4 on a 1d20 system for example, +2 for 2d6, +1d not kept for a dice pool system, and so on.)
This cantrips comes in levels, so you can learn Hexing 1, 2, 3 or 4, with the prerequisite of the previous level.
Hexing takes one to four minutes to perform. It requires a talisman to perform, a wand usually with feathers, stones, metal (copper), and glass, bits attached by a wrap or teather. Many people use a rattle.
Hexing can be done instantly, if the hexing person is willing to take a curse hex of the same level.
Hexing allows you to produce hexes for Luck (Positive Bonus to rolls) or Curse (Negative Bonus to rolls). A hex sits on the person until their next important event. The bonus is then used at that time. You can break it down, so a major important event/ a dramatic event will use all of it, a minor one will use half or just one hex). The hex modifier will last for the entire "scene". So if one is cursed, then tries to escape from jail, the jail break will be the entire scene, so the modifier will apply to all important rolls that entire scene.
Hexes can stack, but they are used up during the next important scene, so they do not last.
Luck hexes do not neutralize a Curse hex. Instead they only apply good bonuses when things are going bad, while the curse, applies negative modifiers when things are going good. This makes for very "schitzophrenic" luck.
Adapt this to your system, with a cap of a good modifier to a skill roll (+4 on a 1d20 system for example, +2 for 2d6, +1d not kept for a dice pool system, and so on.).
Cantrips of cover are very fragile illusions. They are used to cover things, to make things seem like something similar. This can be used for to make someone seem like someone else, to change a brown jar to a blue glass one, or to make ripe food to appear unripe. These are minor illusions, so enough intent to see the object of the illusion, will break the illusion. So as long as someone is not actively looking for something, they casually see it as the covered form.
Good for making your place look better (or worse) or for hiding in the crowd or for avoiding bored guards. (Good or careful guards will see right through the cover).
Gloves - protects hands against the cold effects of common snow and ice and the like, for a short time - ideal for a little snow-fight. Ice is not slippery to the hands for the duration.
Meld Ice - helps in forming ice and snow nicely, ice sculptures can be easily made so.
Comfort - looking into a campfire, the target(s) are comforted by the playful presence of a flame. Can be also a distracting spell.
Warm Bed - makes the blankets or whatever sleeping arrangement warm in just the way the caster likes it.
This simple yet rare cantrip will allow a moderately skilled magic user to make lead appear and taste like gold, allowing the mage to temporarily fool a shopkeeper.
This has several limitations.
Firstly, the lead does not change shape, and so has to be shaped into coins or ingots before the cantrip is cast (some unscrupulous mages have been known to carry illegal coin moulds and stamps to shape lead disks into coins)
Secondly, the cantrip only lasts for a limited amount of time, and shopkeepers will often know that they have been duped the next day, when they see lead in their coffers, making any long-lasting wealth impossible.
Thirdly, this cantrip is clearly seen as illegal and although not hard to learn, very few would teach it openly and its use is severely punished.
(Interestingly, this cantrip is often used by town guards to break up sieges and hostage situation, and due to its rarity, very few hostage takers will actually know they have been duped)
(But there are more potential cantrip-candidates in the whole Magic Cigar Challenge.)
Ignite: The ability to start a small fire, much like pulling out a lighter or wooden match.
Snuff: The ability to put out a small fire. Once it gets beyond a small fire, this cantrip is useless, only slightly diminishing it.
Brighten: Intensifies the light from a candle or small fire.
Hood: Shadowing the light from a small candle or fire. Such a fire will put off very little light and what light it does is not very useful for seeing.
Flare: It makes a small fire flare up slightly.
Long Burning: This extends the span of a burning candle by nearly half again.
Miser's Bane: This shortens the span of a fire's ability to burn by one third.
Squires Aide: This will make a candle or small fire with kindling, more apt to catch fire.
Dragon's Heart: This misnamed cantrip cools a fire, making it merely warm and if perfectly done... just a touch cooler than the air around it. The naming of this technique thinks that all dragons are merciless creatures with no heart to speak of.
Jack's Curse: No matter how prepared the tinder, a cursed candle fire will not light another fire. Jack's curse is actually a handy safety spell.
Rainbow's Capture The link between fire and rainbows is intensified, allowing for the fire's color to be altered.
Light the Field: This allows for multiple small fires to be lit at one time. It is the powerful cantrip used to light several candles in a room at once.
Leaving the Chapel: This allows for the caster to extinguish several small fires at one time. This powerful cantrip will put them all out for the evening.
Concentrating fully for a moment, best with closed eyes, the caster can make his presence felt in a place he knows well enough. In this place will his or her presence be felt.
The caster doesn't get any useful information from the place, but animals or sensitive creatures around may very well feel it - and that is the main purpose of the cantrip. Thus you will see a flock of birds suddenly taking off, for no particular reason. Or you could get a strong feeling of being watched, as if... somebody was there with you.
The cantrip may be a prerequisite for other spells (see from/hear from/teleport to other place), but is cast mainly for fun, and the spooky effect. You know you will meet a dramatic villain if this is used.
A skilled entwiner can manually do most of these tasks almost instantly, these cantrips allow them to do them even faster when intending to show off or needing them done instantly.
Curl - A very weak, short range (6") telekinisis that allows for control of the end of a rope without actually touching it. Very useful when working in odd locations, or when only one hand is available.
Detangle - Untangles mundane knots at four times normal speed.
Defray - Transforms a frayed rope into a whole one.
Splice - instantly splices two ropes of very similar material and size. Splice is as strong as the weaker rope.
Thread - Causes tread or other material to become threaded into a needle instantly.
Pop Pimple-Can pop a pimple or scratch open a mosquito bite on the caster or somebody else. In the right conditions it can be used to cause someone's death due to infection, but normally such a thing would not happen.
In the school of pubcrawling spellcasters, there are many spells which are passed around on looseleafed notes (or found in the margins of many used spell books).
Cool: To cool one's drink, useful on a hots day.
Warm: To warm one's drink, useful on cold days or if you have a proper brew.
Froth: Flat beer is a bad beer
Find Tap: Creates a floating bubble from the beverage, that will lazily head towards its tap. A fun trick to see if you are being served the good stuff or the cheap stuff. Also if you keep some beer from an tied or common house, you can follow the bubble back to that house.
Fix Mug: Well if your mug is cracked or broken, precious amber liquid could be lost. A quick spell will replace all but the worst damage
Careful Beer: This cantrip prevents the accidental sloshing of precious liquid out of the cup. One has to literally desire to pour it out for it to spill. This is handy if you have clumsy friends.
Water to beer: Rather than a full spell, it allows you convert a mug of water, with a splash of beer added to it, into a full mug of beer. A great spell that teaches many magical fundementals and allows cash strapped apprentices to get a drink with their friends.
Second Mug: This cantrip seems to make a tiny bit of extra space in you mug. Cast the cantrip and have someone refill your mug. It will load up with one and a half times the volume of normal drink (sometimes up to two times the volume if cast well).
Rosey Glow: This allows one a glamour of being into your cups. You will feel that happy warm, sloshed feeling, after drinking one drink with rosey cups cast on it. The glamour will shatter if you are hit with a sobering truth, potential violence, or hit up the head really hard.
Dart Sharp: This allows one to negate the adverse effects of drinking one or two many beers/ drinks for one task named at the time of the silent casting. Thus cast the spell and you can shoot darts like you are pefectly sober.
Returning Home: It returns the spilled beer back to its cup or mug, if cast right after the spill. If cast well, it will not bring any dirt, sawdust, or such back with it as it "spills back" into the mug.
Song of Drinking Home: It is a spell to weave into a song that gets everyone moderately inclined to sing along. It is a great way to get the ball rolling, as once people start singing, they keep singing more and more drinking songs.
Jostle Loss: Created by puny apprentices who drink among other bigger folk. It creates a magical aura around the person so they will not be bumped into or squished between folks in a crowd. THe problem with the spell is that it only works in a specific location at a specific time. So it would have to be cast every time your enter or exit the bar, building, or street, to be effetive.
The caster can reform a single regular-sized spider web in any way desired. Besides cleaning up for the squeamish, one could span a web across a room and create a nearly invisible, non-magical way to detect if someone entered it. Or create a nice little surprise: "There must be powerful magic at work here - look at how those spiders made their webs!"
In another application, the caster can learn from a freshly disturbed web, how large was the one that disturbed it, if there were more of them, how long ago it was, and so on.
And you wondered why these wizards never bother to clean up.
Makes the target feel a kiss on their face or neck.
A weak mental effect, those who fail the saving throw will tend to feel ornery and unwilling to do what would be normally expected of them. Having less of an effect on adults, it is ideal to cast on babies and small children who can sometimes create a spectacular diversion.
This compulsion was originally designed to "pick up wenches", as in go to bed with me. It wasn't quite the powerful pick up spell the developer expected. However, when cast upon someone, they have a strong compulsion to lay down on their bed (or nearest bed that they would be willing to lay down on). They might go to sleep, nap, or just want to read/ relax. This has been handy for healers and parents to keep people in bed.
Sometimes, if the right person is there, they might do something else while laying down in bed.
