The "Cosmogonic" Form of Genesis 1

In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
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.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
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."
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.

text: 4 Demo ReviewPosted: 08/02/2010Okay so there's been a LOT of people complaining that the game is highly unbalanced and that you'll enter a game only to find the same species (usually Predators) winning over and over again. Now I can confirm that the reason this happens is because the best players usually play as the predators.I've played as all three races (found myself to be most effective with the human) and found that there is no inbalance in the races: they all have weaknesses and strengths which turns the game into one long round of rock-paper-scissors (Human Beats Aliens, Predator Beats Humans, Aliens Beats Predators) but this can easily be overcome with enough skill.Really it depends more on how you play rather than what you play as. Also the one-hit-kill moves are ridiculously satisfying.So overall a very balanced, and fun game that's varied enough for you to come back to the same map and game mode over and over again.

I wonder what you make of this article about 20-something girls and their sexual behavior. It's political commentary within a review of the cable TV show "Girls." But don't parents have a role in shaping young women's attitudes? What (if anything) in the way we parent today has contributed to the cavalier attitudes toward sex and personal responsibility described here? How do we teach our girls genuine empowerment? http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/333885/girls-not-coming-age-betsy-woodruff?pg=1

Why polling in the classroom?
Here are some of the benefits of using web-based polling in the c;assroom:
Check for understanding and comprehension of what is being taught
Get real-time student feedback on learning
Use them for brainstorming
Review assigned readings
Poll students on their opinions on a classroom event, project..etc
Use polls as discussion prompts
Use anonymous voting to see what students think about your teaching strategy, what they like, don't like..etc

Teachers Shadowing Students: Doing What Students Do
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
Students sit all day, and sitting is exhausting. High School students are sitting passively and listening during approximately 90% of their classes. You feel a little bit like a nuisance all day long.
In today's guest post, school superintendent and Visible Learning trainer BR Jones shows how feedback can motivate students in a whole new way.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
Where are we going? How am I doing? Where to next? Vital questions kids should be able to answer. Feedback tells them how they are doing. It also keeps them engaged.
At the beginning of a school year, I had a student named Michael (not his real name) who had some issues the previous year, so I decided to welcome him outside the school before he even walked in. ...
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
Strengths based is the way to go.........building a tribe in your classroom starts with your relationship. 'We always talk about "managing" people or students, but you manage "stuff", not humans. Instead of trying to "fix" a behaviour, it is important to tap in and try to unleash what people already have. '
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
These six principles are worth discussing continually. They are the basis for classrooms that engage students in deep thinking.
Hear what kept these four graduates engaged in their education. We hope these student voices will help you think about your end-goal as this school year gets started.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
Student voices on "engagement".
Founded in 1943, ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) is an educational leadership organization dedicated to advancing best practices and policies for the success of each learner. Our 175,000 members in 119 countries are professional educators from all levels and subject areas––superintendents, supervisors, principals, teachers, professors of education, and school board members.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
After taking into consideration the needs and drives we've mentioned, our model poses four important questions that teachers must ask themselves in order to score the level of engagement in their classrooms. Under what conditions are students most likely to feel that they can be successful?When are students most likely to become curious?How can we help students satisfy their natural drive toward self-expression?How can we motivate students to learn by using their natural desire to create and foster good peer relationships?
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
We KNOW the negative impact they have on the student.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
"Making Learning Whole is Perkins' argument that education is damaged by breaking knowledge down into discrete parts, which he calls elementitis, a phenomenon that leaves students spitting out fractured facts that have little cohesiveness or application to the subject under study."
The way to engage students is to make sure that they care about the material and that they know how much you care about them.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight,
August 17, 2014 7:26 PM
Is there a fog around student achievement? What is student achievement? It seems the fog is purposely placed around the concept so we can continue to have discussions which result in an unending parade of bottom lines. What if captured teacher voice as well? @ivon_ehd1
Teacher feedback must be informative and encouraging for students to fully understand whether they're learning and what they can do to improve the learning process.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
What does it mean? How do we foster it?
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
Great tips: 1. Practice not answering any question that students can answer for themselves. 2. Allow the incorrect answers 3. Trust is imperative 4. Allow students to discover their way through learning by hypothesizing and testing 5. Our students and their reasoning should be given respect Nice work, Marcia!
Understanding the basics of the Cognitive Load Theory and applying them to your instructional design is an absolute must, particularly if you want your learners to get the most out of the eLearning course you are creating. This guide will offer you a detailed look at Cognitive Load Theory, including how it can be applied in learning settings. Check the Cognitive Load Theory and Instructional Design article and presentation to find more. Via ICTPHMS, Mark E. Deschaine Ph.D.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
"Cognitive Load Theory suggests that learners can absorb and retain information effectively only if it is provided in such a way that it does not "overload" their mental capacity. In other words, our short term memory, or working memory, can only retain a certain amount of information simultaneously (rather than an infinite supply of data). " Lecture bursts keep kids engaged! Emphasis on BURST!
TEST The Kinds Of Grading Mistakes That Haunt Students
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
Wonderfully written post about grading. It tinkers with engagement, motivation and many other things we know matter. Time to rethink this issue!
I teach theory and practice of social media at NYU, and am an advocate and activist for the free culture movement, so I'm a pretty unlikely candidate for Internet censor, but I have just asked the students in my fall seminar to refrain from using laptops, tablets and phones in class.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
This is the most convincing argument "against" that I've seen yet. I would add, though, that Shirky's style is one of collaborative inquiry where participation, discussion are the norm. " I'm coming to see student focus as a collaborative process. It's me and them working to create a classroom where the students who want to focus have the best shot at it, in a world increasingly hostile to that goal."
The issue of how to address late work comes up frequently. Should we hold accountable those students who have not proven themselves proficient to the same st...
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
To RECOVER from (being late, not managing time well) is more instructive than the lowered grade. To walk through the recovery by redoing the work, the student will better learn how to keep up. 'We are in the business of watching out for one another, not for playing "gotcha"'. Penalizing late work, like we often do, negatively affects motivation.
Norman Webb's Depth of Knowledge Levels is a system that categorizes tasks according to the complexity of thinking required to successfully complete them.
HGSE Professor David Perkins uses baseball as a metaphor to describe his concept of "learning by wholes" and his practical teaching principles in his new book, Making Learning Whole: How Seven Principles of Teaching Can Transform Education.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
Avoid learning "pieces"...always help them put it together into a whole. Avoid learning "about" something....DO IT instead. Putting it all together
To implement these ideas in the classroom, David Perkins suggests that educators start with a junior version of the seven principles—picking and choosing what's most right for their own classrooms, while paying particular attention to "playing the whole game" and "making the game worth playing." If educators use these principles, Perkins hopes, they will improve their students' understanding of the game, and their ability to play it successfully.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
Each learner... is unique and is on their own personal learning journey. follows their passion so they discover their purpose. has the skills to drive their learning. owns their learning that happens anywhere at anytime.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

Wanted Tinley Park man once threatened to shoot teller during bank robbery
BY CASEY TONER Sun-Times firstname.lastname@example.com December 18, 2012 9:00PM
Kenneth Connelly who escaped from the Metropolitan Correctional Center at 71 W. Van Buren St. | FBI photo
Updated: January 20, 2013 6:33AM
The 38-year-old Tinley Park criminal on the run after escaping from the 17th floor of Chicago's Metropolitan Correctional Center is a former strip club employee who once threatened to shoot a teller during a Homewood bank robbery.
Kenneth Conley was awaiting his sentencing at the Metropolitan Correctional Center for robbing the Homewood bank on May 13, 2011. He stole $3,969 from an MB Financial Bank branch inside the Walt's Food Center at 2345 W. 183rd St.
Conley went into the bank early that afternoon, wearing a black suit, white dress shirt and light tie and began talking to a teller about a mortgage. He left but returned to the teller a few minutes later, yelling that he had lost $25,000, his house, wife and two children, prosecutors said.
Conley then showed the butt of a black pistol in his waistband to a teller and threatened the teller, saying that he had "six bullets in the gun," prosecutors said.
"If you don't give it to me I will put them in your head," Conley said.
Later that day, Conley showed up at the Club 390 strip club in Chicago Heights, where he worked as a floor host, flashing an unusually large amount of cash, and he repaid a $500 loan to a co-worker. Conley stayed at the club for about 30 minutes before leaving, saying he had to catch a flight to Bermuda the following day.
Conley was arrested in Chicago Heights six days after the robbery for pointing a gun at someone while driving a gold Land Rover, and Chicago Heights police recovered a black BB gun, prosecutors said.
Police later found clothing in the vehicle matching the clothing worn by the bank robber.
Conley told authorities on May 25, 2011, that he did not commit the robbery. He then went missing until he was arrested in September 2011 in California.
On the eve of his trial, he pleaded guilty to the bank robbery on Oct. 29 and was scheduled to be sentenced in January.
Records show Conley was previously convicted of armed robbery in 1996, felony shoplifting in 2005 and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in August 2004.
Two of Conley's family members reached by phone Tuesday hung up without commenting.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Grateful Dead icon Bob Weir has been known to get ticked off when unruly audience members talk loudly during his solo acoustic shows, but Monday night at Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley may be the first time the venerable singer-guitarist has actually stormed off stage in an angry huff.
Weir, performing a quiet opening set before an electrified show by his new Ratdog Quartet, became visibly upset about constant chatter coming from patrons at the back bar.
"He got so mad that he asked, 'Am I interrupting you? Am I bothering you?," reported photographer Stuart Levine, a fan sitting in the front row. "I saw Bobby several months back at Sweetwater when he said something to the crowd, but he soldiered on and finished the set."
Video link
- Bob Weir reacts See Bob Weir shout down people making noise during his show at Sweetwater in Mill Valley.
Not this time. In the middle of Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall," the 65-year-old rock 'n' roll hall of famer decided that he'd had enough, blurting, "That's it, I give up," before stomping off.
Weir, a major investor in the year-old club he helped design, returned briefly to tell the crowd that he'd be back with the Ratdog Quartet, saying they'd be louder, so it wouldn't matter if anyone talked or not.
That did not turn out to be the case. During a quiet passage in Ratdog's encore, a rendition of Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," Weir angrily yelled, "shut the (expletive deleted) up" at the noisy audience.
In the aftermath of the blow-up, some online comments were aimed at Mill Valley's stereotyped image as a wealthy, self-absorbed enclave that some cynics disparage as "Me Valley."
"I think that in Mill Valley there is an enormous level of entitlement," one person wrote. "By this I mean that I've gotten the impression that people here in town feel that they can behave in any way they want, whenever they want."
Another critic went so far as to accuse Mill Valley of being "overrun with ... frat boy investment bankers and attorneys along with their Stepford wives and evil little spawn."
But Sweetwater manager Aaron Kayce said those critics are way off the mark.
"I've seen some of those comments and what people assume," he said. "But it was not the older, Mill Valley crowd that was the problem. Me and my staff were watching this thing evolve and it definitely was not the uptight, stuffy martini crowd that was talking. It was a lot of pre-inebriated, dreadlocked hippies, the same people who were smoking pot in the bathroom and checking out and trying to sneak people in. Those were definitely the ones causing the problem."
Kayce, who books all of Sweetwater's performers, said it would have helped if the show had been a sit-down affair like the recent acoustic concert by Justin Townes Earle.
"That's the most important factor in an environment like ours," he said. "We're never going to be a plush seat theater, but we need to promote the idea that this is a quiet affair."

Hall is also executive director of the Eastern Cantaloupe Growers Association, representing food safety efforts in the wake of several foodborne illness outbreaks linked to cantaloupes.
"Because we have FSMA to provide regulations, I think terminating the national agreement is appropriate," Hall said.
"Since the Food Safety Modernization Act was signed by President Obama and draft produce safety rules were released for comment, it seemed like the national LGMA was kind of a moot point," said Joe Pezzini, chief operating officer at Ocean Mist Farms and former California LGMA chairman. "The fallback now is the produce safety rules. We don't really know what those are going to be; the FDA might even make an interim ruling. What we had envisioned as a national leafy greens marketing agreement will have to be covered by this produce safety rule."
Although the USDA's decision doesn't directly effect the California/Arizona leafy green industry, it does raise questions about how the FSMA will address issues specifically related to leafy greens across the country.
"Hopefully, with the termination of this rule proceeding, USDA can reengage in food safety in a meaningful way and work constructively with reluctant parties to foster a culture and commitment to food safety," Nassif said in his statement.
FSMA, Nassif said, faces many of the same opponents that a national LGMA faced.
"It is time to stop saying no to food safety on the farm and engage in the development of preventive programs at all levels," he said.

We know it's a beta and they're listening to feedback, but what houserules are you using in your game right now?
Other than Homeworlds I'm doing:
Scatter gives an additional hit for every two degrees of success in short range. At PBR I'm debating whether they do Tearing or deal an additional hit per DoS.
Bipods give +5 BS when braced. Tripods give +10 when braced. When using a Bipod or Tripod, Suppressive fire is only -15 and -10BS respectively instead of -20 from Suppressing Fire.
Called Shots are the Dark Heresy version. As in, -20BS/WS to attack a specific location. You CAN autofire/swift attack a specific location, but it still follows the Multiple Hits Charts (IE: five shots from full auto on Called Shot: Body won't all go on the Body). Note that you cannot use Called Shot for All-Out Attack.
Point Blank Range is now within 2-3m instead of 2m.
Carry/Lift/Pull weight is SB+TB+2, not SB+TB
For Regiment Generation, when getting an additional item, roll 1d10 if it's for grenades or 1d5 for Clips. You get that many per purchase.
Storm Troopers get finesse in BS, since they kinda suck for shooting without it.
Commissars get Fellowship aptitude because why the hell don't they have that?
If it doesn't say how many Clips you have for the equipment you get for specialty, assume you get 2 spare clips.
Everyone starts with a Sharpened Entrenchment Tool.
Debating whether to allow Minions to actually attack.

Czech Muslims!
June 18, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Marie Aubrechtova, Islam Online
PRAGUE — Not so long ago the words Czech and Muslim were two polar opposites and it would be almost unthinkable to use them together. But now, two decades after the fall of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia, Muslims are increasing in numbers, becoming more active and founding new organizations to represent them.
"About 300 come to the main mosque and at least 200 come to the prayer hall in the centre," Vladimir (Umar) Sanka, one of the managers of the main mosque and prayer hall in Prague, told IslamOnline.net.
He said the numbers of Muslims are slowly but surely growing in the Czech Republic.
"The prayer hall is so overcrowded every Friday that we have been forced to have two Friday prayers and lectures so that all the Muslims can even fit."
The mosque had to hire a sports hall for `Eid Al-Adha, one of the two main religious festivals on the Islamic calendar which was celebrated in December, to accommodate the record-breaking number of 1,500 Muslims who showed up.
The increase of Muslims is linked to the growing number of Czechs embracing the Muslim faith.
"In our mosque in Prague we are honoured and happy to witness a new conversion almost every week," says Sanka.
The last recorded number of Muslims was around 12,000 in 2007, but the latest estimate is around 20,000, including 400 converts.
The first official Muslim organization, the Islamic Foundation, was established in 1991.
In 1998 it opened its first mosque in Brno and then one year later in Prague.
There were also attempts to build mosques in smaller cities, mainly Spa towns which are popular with Arab clients, but these plans were met with resistance from both the public and churches.
Islam itself was not legally accepted as a religion by the Czech state until 2004.
New Representatives
"We want to hold more lectures and generally host events which portray Islam in a positive light to the public," Jitka told IOL.
Until recently, the mosques in the cities of Brno and Prague were the only official bodies representing Muslims in the Czech Republic.
But now new organizations are appearing to meet the needs of the growing and increasingly diverse Muslim community.
Mohamed Abbas is a well-known media figure and publisher of Islamic literature, including the Qur'an and a translation of Riyad us Saaliheen, the only book of hadith so far published in the Czech language.
Abbas is now also one of the founders of a new organization called the Islamic Community, whose aim is to provide more activities for Muslims.
Currently the Islamic Community is in the process of securing 300 signatures needed to become officially recognised, which will make it the second Muslim body in the Czech Republic eligible for state funding.
"At the moment organizations here represent only a marginal number of Muslims in the country and do not include everybody," Abbas told IOL.
"We want to change this and create an organization for all, and one that is truly democratic and transparent."
Abbas is optimistic about garnering the needed 300 signatures.
"The number of Muslims here is definitely increasing, especially after Czech Republic joined the EU, and they are interested in seeing an active organization serving them."
State registration will give the organization a wider scope.
It will be able to rent, build and manage Islamic centers, establish Islamic schools and after 10 years it can ask for other special rights like taking care of the spiritual needs of Muslims in the army and jails as well as support of state for Islamic marriages in mosques.
Another completely new organization, which is quite different from the ones already being set-up, is a new Facebook Group called Muslims from Czech Republic, created by 21-year-old fresh convert Jitka Cervinkova.
When Jitka first embraced Islam in September of last year she searched Facebook for a group of Muslims in her country.
When she didn't find any, she decided to create one.
Since its creation in November 2008, the group has grown rapidly and now has over 300 members.
"I think Facebook is great for meeting other Muslims as I don't really go to the mosque here in Prague because it is too far for me and it seems that women there are mainly mums with children," she told IOL.
"I didn't meet any young girls of my age when I visited."
Now Jitka, along with other administrators of the group, are faced with the great responsibility of becoming leaders of the fastest growing, and perhaps most influential, Muslim group in the country.
"I feel the Muslim community in the Czech Republic is growing at great speed, although I don't know any statistics I feel I meet more and more young Muslims here every day."
The Facebook group has attracted mainly a young generation of people and consists of both Czech converts and Muslims from other countries, such as the Arab world or Bosnia, who are living or studying in the Czech Republic as well as non-Muslims who are interested in Islam.
Jitka, who is usually busy studying for a degree in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic, now also finds time to organise events and post topics to the group.
So far the group has hosted social events for its members and has also organised a film viewing for the general public.
Volunteers from the group translated a film about Islam from English and answered questions about Islam to the non-Muslim audience.
"We have ideas for many projects and events," said Jitka, citing the need for funding and sponsors who could be able to help.
"We are hoping to organise an exhibition about Islam, as well as set up information stalls with leaflets and information," she said enthusiastically.
"We want to hold more lectures and generally host events which portray Islam in a positive light to the public."

The Best of #WeLoveAx
milwaukee brewers April 27th, 2012
Well, I'd be lying if I said that #WeLoveAx wasn't the worldwide phenomena that I expected it to be. I mean, you would think saying something nice about one of the best players on your favorite baseball team in a 140 characters or less would be a no-brainer, but apparently not. If there is one thing I've learned in life it's that I do not look good in a thong some people just don't like to do fun stuff. It's like when my old roommate's co-worker came over to our place to borrow something and when I asked him if he wanted a beer he said "You know I'm only 20 right?" Like wouldn't that make you want a beer even more? Does this look like a frickin' bar to you? What are you a cop or something? Relax, dude. That's kind of what this was like. Or maybe it's like Monday night's game when I was walking across the bridge, drunk, celebrating a Brewers win and trying to get a "YES!" chant started. Nobody wanted to do it. They were all content to just walk across the bridge quietly, talking amongst themselves. I don't get it. The Brewers won. We should celebrate and chanting "YES!" is really fun! Really. Go ahead, try it. I'll wait here.
(still waiting)
That's how it is for some people though. They might be afraid of ruining their blog's twitter's "integrity" (kill yourself) or maybe they have such low self esteem that they are worried John Axford will reply to them and tell them they are dumb for saying that (he won't.) Who knows. Or maybe people just thought MY idea was stupid which is totally missing the point. It is stupid, but the point is: just stop thinking about everything so much and be nice. People tweet mean things at John Axford and if you don't like that you should tweet something nice at him to overcome that. It's only 140 characters, it won't kill you.
With that little rant over I want to thank all of you who did participate. I now present to you a few of my favorites. Read the rest of this entry »

quote:Originally posted by Finesse4evai recently ran into a problem that made me question whether i understand ratios as well as i think i do ... The question states If a = 2b, 1/2b=c, and 4c = 3d then what is the ratio of d to a? a) 1/3b) 3/4c) 1d) 4/3e) 3 i set up the following ration of a = 2b = 4c = 3d. At this point i thought i had the problem solved ... the ratio of d to a was 3 (lol). Well, maybe not lol yet, i still don't get what i'm doing wrong B) my traditional understanding of ratios is as follows, if a = 3d then to me that means for every A there are 3 d's. based on this, i set up the ration of a to d as 1:3. from here, i made the assumption that if a to d was 1:3 then d to a was 3:1here's the dilemma ... i know the answer is 1/3 ... however, even though i see why this is the case when i plug in the numbers (for example, i set A to 12 and get d=4, giving me a ratio of 4 to 12) i still don't get the theoretical explanation thanks for your help

Home Treatments for Shingles
Keeping the inflamed skin clean is essential, so wash the affected area with cool water and mild soap. Taking a bath or shower is fine. The blisters of shingles will crust over and fall off on their own, and it's important to avoid picking at the blisters to prevent the development of a secondary skin infection at the inflamed site.

In the end, it would healthy for marketers if consumers thought of biotech fruits and vegetables as "just an excuse to charge more money," as a mid-April Harris poll indicated that nearly 60% of consumers believe about the organic label.
From the Harris release:
Turns out that more than half (59%) agree that labeling food or other products as organic is just an excuse to charge more.
"What surprised us most was that while Americans are showing more concern for the environment, they aren't necessarily willing to pay more to do anything about it," said Mike de Vere, President of the Harris Poll. "While Americans feel better about the economy, many are wary of the 'greenwashing' concept that gives companies a chance to cash in on consumers who want to help the planet but are confused by all the eco-friendly jargon."
I don't think there will be any one event that will be the turning point in the market acceptance of biotech fruits and vegetables. But with one new biotech variety finding approval after another, retailers and consumers may not get so excited about the next. Biotech will neither save nor destroy agriculture as we know it. In the end, it is the "no big deal" response that will finally signal a new norm.

HP Network Node Manager (NNM) is an application suite that is used to map out and manage network topography. NNM runs on a variety of platforms, including Linux and multiple versions of Windows. For more information, see the vendor's site found at the following link.
Remote exploitation of a BSS based buffer overflow vulnerability in Hewlett-Packard Development Co. LP (HP)'s Network Node Manager could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected service.
The vulnerability exists within the 'ovlaunch' CGI application, which is used to launch the remote user interface. By sending a specially crafted request, it is possible to trigger a buffer overflow. The vulnerability results from an unchecked function call. The buffer that is overflowed makes it possible to overwrite various pointers that are located after the buffer in memory.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected service. IIS runs CGI applications with reduced privileges, so a full system compromise is not possible using only this vulnerability.
In iDefense Labs testing, it was possible to overwrite various pointers stored after the overflowed buffer. Given this, code execution is likely to be possible.
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Network Node Manager version 7.53 for Windows. Previous versions may also be affected.
The Linux version of 'ovlaunch' contains the vulnerable code, but it is not triggered. The actual hostname is used instead of the attacker supplied 'Host' parameter.
Requiring authentication by modifying the session.conf file is not a valid workaround for this vulnerability. The vulnerability occurs during the parsing of requests, before any authentication checks.
However, it is possible to use the IIS configuration manager to require authentication in order to execute the ovlaunch CGI. Additionally, the IIS configuration manager can be used to limit connections by IP address.
Hewlett-Packard Development Co. LP (HP) has released a patch which addresses this issue. For more information, consult their advisory at the following URL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2008-4562 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

These four high yield investments are my favorites, but be sure to consider the risks.
1. Energy Transfer Partners, LP. (ETP) Yield 7.70 percent. This master limited partnership is in the business of interstate storage of propane and natural gases. Master limited partnerships (MLPs) are unique investments that combine the tax benefits of a limited partnership (LP) with the liquidity of common stock. An MLP has a partnership structure but issues investment units that trade on an exchange like common stock. Like other limited partnerships, there is no tax at the company level. Investors generally receive higher cash payments than the amount upon which they are taxed, creating an efficient means of tax deferral. The downside? Investors have to deal with a K-1 form for tax filing purposes (unless the investment is held in an IRA or other retirement account). But the returns may well be worth the headache.
2. Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund (MWHIX). Yield 7.37 percent. This has been a longtime favorite of mine. This fund management team shows its experience through the fund's performance during a variety of market cycles and features a low management fee of 0.62 percent. The fund is called a high yield fund for a reason–because it can invest in low-quality bonds of all kinds to deliver the best investment opportunities and correspondingly excellent returns. The fund was started in 1997 by this management team, all of whom have had excellent performance at prior firms.
3. Brazilian Government Bonds. YTM (Yield to Maturity) 9.71 percent. The Brazilian government backs these bonds, which are rated AA and mature in 2022. If you think the dollar will continue to decline against other currencies, then you get the added benefit of this investment acting as a currency hedge. These bonds need to be bought in allocations of $250,000, or you can ask your advisor to consider buying some for you and allocating the rest to other clients' portfolios.
4. Solar Capital (SLRC). Yield 9.75 percent. One year total return: 19 percent (as of June 13, 2011). Solar Capital is a closed-end fund that invests primarily in leveraged, middle-market companies in the form of senior secured loans, mezzanine loans and equity securities. The company's objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. At this time 100 percent of its loans are performing (meaning no defaults). The company achieves its results in part, through leverage and continues to invest in additional opportunities. Investors do take on some risk because this fund invests in low-quality bonds, uses leverage and sells at a 6 percent premium over its net asset value.
As always, consider and understand all risks when you are investing.

May 21, 2013
This maxi is absolutely gorgeous! The colors are bold and bright, love the fact that bebe decided to put fun colors in it, love the pink! It does run a tad large, you can afford to go a size down... I was able to get an XS and still have it not too form fitting and still comfortable. I'm 140lbs, 34.27.42. The material is thick but not too thick where you'll be sweating, definitely made from quality fabric. It's also not too long so you can wear flats with it to dress it down or wedges to get some height, I'm 5'4" and it reaches me right by my ankles. Cannot wait to wear it, def one of my fave maxis so far.

The Real 'Women of the Hill' Talk
Posted in Events, General, Guest Posts on January 2nd, 2010 by Shaunda – 2 Comments
The following is a guest-post from Norma Thompson and Charlene Foggie Barnett — two of the six women who had the opportunity to act out their life stories on the August Wilson Center stage in "The Women of the Hill." The stage piece, produced and directed by Ping Chong and Talvin Wilks, embodied the legacy of the strong women at the heart of African American culture–specifically Pittsburgh's historical Hill District. Norma and Charlene wanted to share their experiences with you. The play and the women were the featured cover story in the Pittsburgh City Paper on November 19, 2009.
Forever Changed
One of the greatest experiences of my life was working in the production of The Women of the Hill. The producers, Ping Chong and Talvin Wilks, were excellent. Our technical staff, stage manager, and all others who worked with us had so much spirit and understanding.
Each of our stories was unique in their own way, but they wove a tapestry of the similar experiences of our lives and the history of the Hill District. The play set us on a journey together through the years -where we shared our ups and downs, triumphs and failures, hopes and fears - from the oldest to the youngest in the cast. The audience also traveled in the journey with us, and I am constantly hearing how our stories touched their lives. The audience shares in our bond with their hope for all good things to come to the Hill.
The six of us formed a bond that I hope will never be broken. Kimberly, Marlene, Phillis, Brenda, Charlene, and I have a sisterhood that looks forward to all the wonderful things the future will bring to the Hill District.
–Norma Thompson
A Wonderful Sisterhood
From the moment I became aware of the play, "The Women of the Hill," I felt magnetically drawn to the process. Simply put, I feel that my being cast in this play was a dream come true, and I will always cherish how seamlessly my "worlds" came together.
The thought of performing was not frightening to me, because I was a theatre major in college and have performed many times since, but never for anything as personal, nor historically significant as this. I gulped each time I remembered that this play was to be included in a celebration of the great playwright, August Wilson and his homage to the strength of the black women he encapsulated in the character, Aunt Esther, of his historic Pittsburgh Cycle of plays. The thought of being a performer in this beautiful theatre, in its inaugural season, was at times, unfathomable to me.
Once confirmed that I was indeed in this play, I couldn't wait for the rehearsal process to start and to meet the other ladies chosen. The evening finally came when I walked into the August Wilson Center, and we were introduced to one another. Immediately, we started filling in connective links as to how we might know each other, and our family and friends. Talvin Wilks, our writer/director, gave us a script overview, and discussed the next phases of the production. We did our first reading of a portion of the play, and it started to come clear to us, how this unique presentation would be performed. We all left filled with anticipation for the next meeting, and a sense of sisterhood and camaraderie began to unfold. Talvin brought treats for us to nibble on for each session, as many of us were coming from work for rehearsals, but then one cast mate made us some tasty chili one evening, and that set the tone for all of us to take turns bringing something to keep our energy up for the two weeks of rehearsals, prior to the show. One thing that stood out about our cast was it's strong faith in God, and we prayed before each rehearsal and performance, for His honor and glory. We gave cast and crew members rides and helped each other in any way, necessary.
In the course of these weeks, we had rewrites, and script changes everyday, as things had to be tightened for the pace of the show. It was often quite hard to relinquish a beloved storyline, but we came to understand and appreciate the stride we needed to allow the performance to take. Along with rehearsals came television, radio, and newspaper interviews and photo sessions. We made our costume selections, which basically was to be any outfit in which we felt comfortable and most like ourselves.
In addition, Ping Chong always includes a potluck dinner with the cast and crew, prior to the production of his shows. I was privileged to host the potluck in my home, which was like having our own Thanksgiving with our new "Women of the Hill" family. We even celebrated two birthdays.
Finally the day came to hold our first rehearsal on the main stage. The script, lighting, music, props, and costumes - everything was coming together. We were all very excited, and at times edgy, because changes come fast in live theatre, and adapting quickly is essential. The full production staff, from our director's, and stage manager all the way to the wardrobe mistress, was all wonderfully accommodating and supportive of any thing we needed. Before each actual show, Talvin and Ping led us in "theatre games" on stage, which cemented the vibrations of everyone's feelings, and created a sense of trust between we six actors.
The performances felt magical, and although we were nervous, we gained strength from each other and through the response of the audience. It was very difficult to do our last show. We had only done one weekend together, but it felt like saying goodbye to a season long run! Many of the "professionals" commented on our positive attitude, and I can attest that I have never felt so connected to both cast and crew, in any other show I've ever done. I've had countless emails of praise from friends and audience members who attended the show. I was also stopped at the grocery store by a new couple to the Pittsburgh area, who said the piece taught them so much about the Hill District's rich history, and they are even more proud to call Pittsburgh their new home.
My gratitude for this opportunity knows no bounds. The spirit of the August Wilson Center staff is as beautiful and impressive as the facility they work in. Ping Chong and Talvin Wilks brought the best of our collective pasts to light, and patiently gave us the confidence and poise to reveal our stories. In turn, we were honored to bring a positive view of our beloved Hill District, to the world. My thanks to my fellow cast mates, for their respect, love and friendship. I am truly blessed!
–Charlene Foggie Barnett

Bollman Alternative Case
I am very pleased with this bag. It provides ample space to carry, needles, BP machine, cups, and necessary equipment for a mobile TCM practitioner. It is light weight and I have had many compliments on the bag from colleagues. My only criticism is that it is expensive for what it is, I think around Ł120 would attract many buyers.
