City of Hope's comprehensive cancer center designation has been renewed by the National Cancer Institute
By Tami Dennis
Tami Dennis
DUARTE, Calif. — City of Hope has been notified of the renewal of the prestigious comprehensive cancer center designation from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a milestone that marks the institution's 30th year with an NCI designation.
The recognition is the highest level granted by the NCI, part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded only to those institutions with world-class, state-of-the-art programs in multidisciplinary cancer research.
"We're extremely pleased the NCI has once again recognized City of Hope's outstanding achievements in scientific research, leading-edge treatments and patient care," said Michael A. Friedman, M.D., City of Hope's chief executive officer and Irell & Manella Cancer Center Director's Distinguished Chair. "Our innovations have helped scores of millions of people around the world and in our own community, and our patient care has become a model for institutions everywhere. We're extremely proud not only to receive this prestigious honor, but to continue shaping the future of health."
Institutions must meet rigorous standards to receive the designation, which accompanies increased federal funding, information sharing and resources. Such funding, and the corresponding designation, is especially notable considering the increasingly competitive NCI fiscal environment.
To meet the standards, institutions must show depth and breadth of research in laboratory, clinical and population-based research, as well as research that bridges these scientific areas. They must also demonstrate professional and public education efforts, including the sharing of health advances in their communities.
In announcing the approval, the NCI commended City of Hope in a variety of areas. It noted that:
Many programs have new leadership, which has infused new vision and new capabilities into the scientific programs.
Every program has examples of outstanding, even exceptional, science.
The leadership of the individual programs is outstanding both scientifically and administratively.
The cancer center has shown substantial growth of both new laboratory space and clinical space.
The institution maintains unique and differentiating core resources, such as the biological and chemical GMP facilities.
The center possesses all the scientific resources and intellectual capacity to succeed.
"Membership in the community of NCI-designated cancer centers confers a seat at the table where the strategic plans and initiatives of NCI are formed, and allows the center to represent the needs of its local community in national dialogue," says the NCI in a description of the designation. "This access also creates opportunities for extensive information sharing and broader scientific collaborations with other NCI centers."
The designation will benefit not only City of Hope, but also the surrounding communities. The accompanying grant, for which an amount has not yet been announced, will help ensure ongoing education and outreach efforts, as well as the dissemination of evidence-based findings and breakthrough discoveries.

Rain renders rivalry game between South Plantation and Plantation incomplete
Coming off a heartbreaking district tiebreaker loss, South Plantation was trying to end its season Friday night with a victory over playoff-bound and rival Plantation.
But Mother Nature didn't let it finish the job.
Leading 7-6 at halftime, heavy rains and a pair of lightning delays forced officials to cancel the second half, rendering the nondistrict game incomplete.
Plantation (7-2) is set to open the playoffs next Friday night against American.
The Colonels were resting several key starters in the regular-season finale, including star quarterback Chris Lammons and tight end Ravian Pierce.
South Plantation (6-3) called up a handful of junior varsity players for Friday's game after losing several starters to injuries over the past week and a half, coach Doug Gatewood said.
Plantation scored on its opening drive when junior Markel Yarbough found pay dirt on a 1-yard run on fourth-and-goal.
The Paladins quickly answered on the ensuing drive with a 1-yard touchdown run by junior Justin Bain.
Plantation later had a 66-yard interception return for a touchdown by junior Xavier Currithers wiped out by a holding penalty.

That nice, new computerized car you just bought could be hackable
Link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20015184-245.html
Of course, your car is probably not a high-priority target for most malicious hackers. But security experts tell CNET that car hacking is starting to move from the realm of the theoretical to reality, thanks to new wireless technologies and evermore dependence on computers to make cars safer, more energy efficient, and modern.
"Now there are computerized systems and they have control over critical components of cars like gas, brakes, etc.," said Adriel Desautels, chief technology officer and president of Netragard, which does vulnerability assessments and penetration testing on all kinds of systems. "There is a premature reliance on technology."

Often the innovations are designed to improve the safety of the cars. For instance, after a recall of Firestone tires that were failing in Fords in 2000, Congress passed the TREAD (Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation) Act that required that tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) be installed in new cars to alert drivers if a tire is underinflated.

Review: TMC V²Pure Advanced RO System
Arguably one of the most critical components of any reef system, the humble RO Unit sometimes doesn't get the attention it deserves. Sometimes a hobbyist may end up selecting a unit that 'seems' up to the task without really researching it. Once in place RO Units can also be 'taken for granted' and, as a result, actual performance under 'typical' home operating conditions (membrane efficiency, actual GPD, ease of assembly etc) is sometimes overlooked. In this review we'll take a closer look at TMCs V²Pure RO system and see how it stacks-up against other units we've used.
Unboxed: EcoTech Radion XR15w Pro
Widely regarded as market leaders in LED lighting technology for reef aquaria, EcoTech's products are some of the most advanced and desirable available to today's hobbyist. With a line-up that is constantly evolving to incorporate the very latest technology, we use this review to take a preliminary look at their latest and most compact LED light to date – the Radion XR15w Pro. So, getting hands-on with this unit, we are immediately impressed with the quality of presentation. The slick packaging presents the tile with beautiful simplicity and the supporting materials included reflect this. To be honest we feel like we are excitedly unpacking the latest tablet or computer peripheral rather than an aquarium item! Anyway, the light is literally ready-to-go as soon as it is lifted from its from its moulded receptacle and out of the box. Build quality appears to be excellent and we love the look of the honey-comb fan aperture. With the ducted cooling system of its larger brethren, the operating temperature of the LED array should be managed quietly and effectively. Refined in gloss black this unit looks every inch the 'bleeding-edge' option you craved. Measuring just 7"x7"x1.5″, the XR15 certainly is remarkably compact. Despite its diminutive size though, and thanks to the 120 degree TIR lenses fitted as standard, it is rated to illuminate a 24"x24" footprint from 8" or more above the water line. Clearly this makes it copesetic for a range of aquaria, from nano tanks up to fairly large systems (in the latter case, when used as part of an array of multiple units). Emitting a claimed maximum PAR of 825, and with a full spectrum (and UV) output optimised for coral growth full, it should be possible to maintain a range of species under this light, including light hungry species like SPS corals. Consuming just 75watts though, this is also one efficient light unit. In terms of bulbs, the XR15 is a single-cluster unit featuring 21 high-output, energy-efficient LEDs covering the full light spectrum. Specifically we have: 4 Cree XP-G2 (20W) Cool White, 4 Osram Oslon Square (20W) Deep Blue, 4 Cree XP-E (12W) Blue, 2 Cree XP-E (7W) Green,2 Osram Oslon SSL (6W) Hyper Red,1 Osram Oslon SSL (3W) Yellow, 2 SemiLEDs (5W) Indigo, 2 SemiLEDs (5W) UV. All-in-all, superb quality and more than enough colours to provide a spectrum for both coral health, good colour rendition and to replicate a diverse range of aquatic scenarios. The XR15 continues to impress when we look at its functionality, and with a variety of presets (including acclimatisation mode, weather simulation and lunar cycles) built-in, this is already one versatile unit. Take into consideration the fact the tile has a built-in RF Module that can communicate wirelessly with other Radion lights and VorTech pumps (through EcoSMART Live) and we enter a new dimension of control. Finally this unit is also ReefLink compatible and can therefore be controlled wirelessly using an ios or Android device. When you come to mount this light take note that it can easily be connected to EcoTech's new modular RMS (Radion Mounting System – which we'll be looking at shortly), hanging kit, or the multi-light mounting rail. Retailing here in the UK for around £360 (at time of this feature), the XR15w Pro comes backed-up with EcoTech's 1yr warranty for the fixture/2yrs for the LEDs. To show exactly what the unit can do in the real world, we'll be producing a full operational review of this unit when we've got it installed on the test tank in the near future. While you wait, take a look at EcoTech's official run down on their website by clicking the banner below.
Specs Out For New Nano Koralia From Hydor
Hydor are a company who's products we've used before and we have to say, we really like their approach. They are certainly always looking to bring new products to the aquarium market and strive to make reef-keeping easy. In terms of their flow pump range, although already offering some of the most compact and efficient models available, they continue to make their products smaller, reduce electricity consumption and increase water flow output. Just announced, their new Koralia Nano 2200 achieves all this and is the smallest flow pump in the market to boot. This pump really is something special at just 6cm length while pumping up to 2200lph and consuming just 4 watts! Click the graphics for more detail.

The Digital Reefs Black Tank – Passing 18 Months
As an update to the feature on our test tank in issue 43 of UltraMarine magazine way back in December 2013, we thought it was high time we put together another of our 'black tank updates' as the system has also recently passed the minor milestone of 18 months old. Plenty has happened since we wrote that update for UltraMarine, let alone over the last 12 months since our last update on here, so let's dive right in before anything else happens! OK, so in terms of equipment, without doubt the biggest change has been the installation of a new acrylic sump. We made this change because we wanted to try out a new skimmer and unfortunately the water level in the original sump was too high to allow for headroom of this new model, given the water depth required. So, after having used the Hydor Performer recirculating skimmer for a few months, we've now got a Vertex Omega 150 running on the system. Running smoothly for several months, this skimmer sits in a much shallower and larger first section of a custom-built acrylic sump (made by Neptune's Acrylic Tank Manufacturers). Although a fair amount of work, swapping the sumps was a fairly straightforward operation but it did necessitate removing the central wooden brace from the front of the cabinet. Despite being pretty nerve-wracking, we had no issue with this switch and we also took the opportunity to replace the central wooden support with a custom-cut acrylic column (also from NATM). This new arrangement gives us an enhanced view of the sump area. A couple of useful tips here…. a coated metal frame would allow for much easier access to the sump, and we'd also leave space to allow for door hinges to be replaced as they corrode quickly. Other than the sump and skimmer change, equipment remains quite similar to that which we had installed at our 6 month update – that is, we've got the Hydor Calcium reactor running off a TMC Regulator Pro and V2 pH Monitor/Controller, also we are still using kalkwasser for top-up via the Tunze Osmolator 3155. All these bits of kit have run flawlessly since their addition and 'touch-wood' let's hope it remains this way! Our return pump has been upgraded from the original Eheim compact 5000+ to a Vertex V6 return pump which we reviewed recently. For nutrient control, we are still using Chaetomorpha in the centre section of the sump, now lit by a TMC GroBeam 1500 Ultima ND tile, and a Biophos80 reactor is being used to fluidise BioPhos80 to good effect. All told this technology has kept minerals and nutrients at acceptable levels for several months. Lighting-wise, the Arcadia OT2 LED is still performing admirably and we've recently added some of Arcadia's extended range of T5 tubes which we will be reviewing sperately in the near future. For flow, we are currently running 2x Hydor Mag 7s and a Tunze 6105 on pulse mode. We tried it with less flow but almost immediately experienced some basal STN on some of our colonies which is now recovering but only slowly. Heavy flow really is critical! Biologically, the system has continued to evolve and the tank is starting to look filled-out! We've now got plenty of SPS in the system and generally they seem to be growing gradually. Take a look at the gallery at the end of the article for some growth pics. We've even set-up a frag rack for some bits and pieces. As well as the additional SPS, we've also got a few LPS but we haven't added much new there other than some tasy Acan frags from whitecorals and a stunning large Acanothophyllia from a local tank breakdown. We do have a total of 3 large clams in the system now though, 2 direct from Amblard, and these seem happy, although we do have to lay them on their sides occasionally to allow the wrasses to pick-off any rice snails (they love this 'treat' actually). Hopefully one day these snails will be totally erradicated. Talking about fish, we still have our sole 'true' Percula Clown and Yellow Tang (these were from the last tank and we've now had them for around 5 years), next, added about 15 months ago we still have our Scarlet Hawkfish. The Flame Angel we added around the same time has fairly recently been sold as it started on the clams after we had been away for a week (we think it must have got hungry and picked up a bad habit). Interestingly as soon as this fish was removed we noticed significant polyp extension and accelerated growth in our SPS stock too. Goes to show that even an apparently well-behaved individual of such species may be having an unseen effect on corals of this kind. Added at around the 6 month old mark (a year ago) we also have our greedy Hoeven's Wrasse and 2 watchman gobies, one white and one yellow. These gobies originally fought and we had to sump the yellow one but now we've tried them again and they seem to be coexisiting… just! Next we have a juvenile Regal Tang which we bought off a fellow hobbyist about 6 months ago, and since then we've also added 1 midas blenny and 3 lovely juvenile Pomacentrus alleni Neon Damsels which look fantastic swimming together in the mid water. We've had these for a few months now and they are very well behaved… not the rarest or most expensive fish, but stunning! Finally, one of our most recent additions was a stunning Halichoeres biocellatus Redlined/Twinspot Wrasse (we got this at ReefFest 2014). Settling in immediately, this fish is now slightly more dominant but also shier than the 'older' Hoevens Wrasse but is very sociable. Both fish seem fine with a relatively shallow substrate of 1-2″. So that's it for now… hopefully we'll find the funds to add more stock in the near future, particularly corals, as we seek to develop the aquascape further. We'll also continue to trial new equipment and methods on the system of course. Modernising lighting and flow, reducing running costs, and introducing some automation, is top of the agenda.
"6″ is a New Movie Exposing Illegal Wildlife Trafficking and Mass Extinction
The production team that filmed "The Cove", a popular documentary that brought to light the extreme dolphin slaughtering in Japan, is back with a brand new movie that will focus on the larger issues of illegal wildlife trafficking and the possibility of mass extinction that are both taking place in oceans and seas across the globe as we speak. Simply called "6″, this movie utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and undercover tactics to expose the black market trading of endangered species, such as products made from whale sharks, giant clams, and hundreds of others. The trailer for the movie, posted above, shows some of the guerrilla reporting tactics used by the team, as they scour the streets of various Asian communities exposing black market dealers, who obviously aren't always thrilled to find out they're being investigated by the production team. Also displayed in the brief promo is a more positive side effect of the team's efforts…a public awareness campaign involving a mobile projector, a fast car, and one very talented NASCAR driver. The trailer shows Leilani Munter driving a Jaguar fitted with a video projector around various parts of what we presume to be cities in the United States. The projector blasts imagery of marine life onto surrounding buildings, no doubt captivating pedestrians and drivers alike. Since increasing public awareness about travesties such as those currently taking place on the black market is so paramount to sparking a change.
King Helmet, Cassis tuberosa, Queen Helmet
Hello friends, I was out in the water most of the morning and am finally back inside warming up. Our cool find today was a small, live 4-inch King Helmet, Cassis tuberoas shell. We don't see these much around here mostly because they usually spend their days buried under the sand and only come out at night to feed. The top photo shows the bottom of the animal with it's mantle and foot mostly retracted. The second photo shows our little King right side up, mantle/foot out and on the go leaving a trail of slime in his path, notice the cool operculum in the back. The third and fourth photos show his or her beautiful little eyes at the base of his tentacles.
CORAL Magazine's Captive Bred Marine Fish Species List for 2014
Green Chromis, although frequent spawners in the reef aquarium, finally made the Captive-Bred List in 2013. Captive-breeding: State of the Art 2014 CORAL Magazine's updated and definitive captive-bred marine aquarium fish species list current through December 17th, 2013, by Tal Sweet. As soon as CORAL Magazine's 2013 Captive-Bred Marine Fish Species List was published last year, new additions started to show up. Several species that were left off the 2013 list have now been added, as well as new species that were confirmed as being captive-bred during the year. More than 30 new species have been added to the list, bringing the total to over 250. While there haven't been a lot of new species released commercially by the large aquaculture facilities this year, there have been some exciting developments. From ORA: Black Cardinalfish (Apogonichthyoides melas) Black Watchman Goby (Cryptocentrus fasciatus) Randall's Assessor (Assessor randalli) From Bali Aquarich: Cleaner Wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) Clarion Angelfish (Holacanthus clarionensis) Maze Angelfish (Chaetodontoplus cephalareticulatus) From Rising Tide: Green Chromis (Chromis viridis) French Grunt (Haemulon flavolineatum) One of the more exciting additions to the list is the Red-Striped Pipefish (Dunckerocampus baldwini) bred by Jim Welsh in Northern California. Welsh's work with the species yielded market-sized offspring in less than six months from the beginning of the project. (A report on this project will appear in the March/April 2014 issue of CORAL.) Following up her success last year with Genicanthus watenabei, Karen Brittain in Hawaii has continued to pursue angelfish breeding projects. She started off revisiting Reef Culture Technology's success with Centropyge interruptus as part of her "A Girlfriend for Fabio" IndieGoGo campaign, and promising progress was made in the second half of 2013 pursuing a species first with Paracentropyge venusta. Hopefully we will be able to put the Venustus Angelfish the list next year. During 2013, in an effort to narrow down the definition of "what is" a captive-bred marine fish (along with other trade jargon), Richard Ross dedicated an issue of his Skeptical Reefkeeping series to the subject. See http://packedhead.net/2013/skeptical-reefkeeping-viii-animal-origins-some-proposed-definitions/. Ross, along with Kevin Erickson, has compiled a detailed list of terms and definitions used when referring to the origins of our marine livestock. The Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) is in agreement with this "captive-bred" definition: "Captive bred fishes are organisms that were spawned and raised in tanks or other captive facilities on land." We augment this to simply state that captive-breeding, to be regarded as truly successful, must at a minimum raise offspring to a juvenile, marketable size. The term "tank-raised" is often used in the freshwater aquarium livestock trade and likely predates any use of the phrase in the marine trade. In the freshwater trade, "tank-raised" is often synonymous with the aforementioned definition of "captive-bred" marine fish, but over the past several years "tank-raised" has become a very confusing, and perhaps unreliable or even abused, term when applied to marine fishes. Given the advent of harvesting the pre-settlement larvae of wild fishes, many species of marine fishes are now captive-grown without being captive-spawned. These fishes should, it is widely agreed, be sold as "tank-raised" and never as "captive-bred" or "CB." Per Ross and Erickson, "tank-raised" carries its own definition in the marine trade: "Animals from eggs or pre-settlement larvae collected in the wild, then grown or raised in tanks in facilities on land." As more focus is being placed on pelagic-spawning species such as tangs, butterflyfishes, and angelfishes, it is likely that we will be seeing a much broader range of captive-bred fishes available in the near future. It is truly an exciting time in the realm of captive breeding of marine fishes, and we look forward to what the future has in store. This list is as up to date as possible at the time of publication and was compiled with the help of Live Aquaria, ORA, Sustainable Aquatics, and Matthew Pedersen. Tal Sweet is a marine fish breeder whose company, Fishtal Propagations, produces clownfishes, dottybacks, gobies, and Banggai Cardinalfish in Waterford, Michigan. He is one of the founders of the Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI). The new 2014 Captive Bred Marine Fish Species List now supersedes the 2013 list. Color coded perceived availability during 2013 has been included this year: Green = Commonly Available. Easy to find as a captive-bred fish, often from more than one source, throughout 2013. Blue – Moderate to Low. Might haven taken some searching, and availability may have been limited, but was reasonably obtainable as a captive-bred fish in 2013. Purple = Scarce. Generally only one source or breeder is known, and potentially only a handful of specimens may have been available. You may have "had to know someone" or even know the breeder directly in order to obtain them as captive-bred fish during 2013. Black = None. The authors and consulted parties were unaware of any retail availability of this species from a captive-bred source during 2013.

Bredesen: More active role must be taken in choosing UT president
Calling the tenures of the last two leaders "failed presidencies," Gov. Phil Bredesen challenged University of Tennessee trustees to take a more active role in the search for a new president to ensure the new leader doesn't have the same "issues."
"It's striking to me that in both cases, there was no lack of knowledge in other places about these issues that we were unable to discern," Bredesen told the board in his opening address at the full board meeting Thursday. "We need some independent way of making sure the reference checking that goes on really works."
He warned against relying on a search firm to vet candidates because they have an interest in placing someone in the position swiftly. Instead, he told reporters later, he wanted trustees to follow up with references in person or to hire an independent consultant without an interest in who is hired.
Bredesen was referring to former presidents John Petersen, who resigned in February 2009, and John Shumaker, who stepped down in August 2003.
The board hopes to elect a new system president in October.
Also Thursday, the board confirmed who will serve on its search committee. Members are trustees Jim Murphy, Bob Talbott, Monice Hagler, Jim Hall, Andrea Loughry and Sumeet Vaikunth; Jenna Wright, assistant professor at UT-Martin; Professor Matt Murray of Knoxville; and Interim President Jan Simek.
Members met briefly after the board adjourned. They will meet again on Monday to review a draft of the advertisement for the position put together by the search firm Witt/Kieffer.
The committee will budget $212,375 to pay for the consultants, provide for travel expenses, background checks, webcasts for public meetings and for advertising the position.
The board also passed a compensation package for the new president during the meeting that would pay him or her a base salary of up to $450,000, with an annual $20,000 housing allowance and an annual expense account of $12,000 to $16,000.
In other business:
n Trustees voted to move UT Knoxville athletics under the control of the chancellor. The move comes after a yearlong discussion and under the recommendation of a task force.
n Student retention and graduation rates, salaries for faculty, money spent on research and the number of Ph.D. and master's degree awards all have to increase in order for UT Knoxville to become a top 25 university, Chancellor Jimmy Cheek told trustees. He said the goal is achievable in the next 10 years. UT is currently ranked No. 52, according to U.S. News and World Report.
n Knoxville's students are less satisfied than those at other benchmark peer universities, according to surveys compiled by a research arm at Indiana University.
The presentation on the numbers was made during a committee meeting Thursday morning on academic affairs. The National Survey of Student Engagement numbers measures the students' academic and campus experience, which are indicators for student retention rates and graduation rates.
The numbers also are used by national benchmarking organizations and considered by the state's higher education commission when doling out its funding.
The numbers showed the Knoxville campus is lower than its peers in all but one response - how often students make class presentations. Responses are comparatively lower in such categories as how often students have internships, do public service, work on research projects and study abroad.
Students also measured lower than average on the support they said they get from the campus academically and in coping with nonacademic responsibilities, building relationships with other students and regarding their entire educational experience.

Publisher's Description
To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable.
Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.
Author Bio
NORMAN L. GEISLER (PhD, Jesuit Loyola University) is author or coauthor of some sixty books, including The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics and his four-volume Systematic Theology. He has taught at the university and graduate level for nearly forty years and has spoken or debated in all fifty states and in twenty-five countries.
FRANK TUREK (PhD, Southern Evangelical Seminary) has appeared on numerous television and radio programs including The OReilly Factor, Hannity and Colmes, and Politically Incorrect. His first book, Legislating Morality: Is It Wise? Is It Legal? Is It Possible? (also coauthored with Dr. Geisler) won the Evangelical Christian Pulbishers Associations Gold Medallion award as the best book in its category.
Product Reviews
Sherdah5 Stars Out Of 5I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an AtheistNovember 22, 2014SherdahQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I read this book at least 8 years ago, and it really helped me to understand science discoveries now in the light of the Christian faith. Before I would struggle with how to understand them together, and how can we know other religions don't have the final answer. This book is so logically written, with fantastic supporting detail, it helped me to draw my own conclusions. I have suggested this book to others who struggled with their faith, since they were such science minded people. I watched their faith just soar and they had complete peace in knowing who God is and his place in the creation story and in their lives. Since then I started to do more research via my local Reasons to Believe chapter, and a whole hosts of other books. However, in my opinion, this is the best book I've read on the subject, and still my favorite. I recently purchased 2 copies as presents to friends.
BlessdMom5 Stars Out Of 5I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an AtheistOctober 3, 2014BlessdMomQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Excellent apologetics resource, just the right balance to use in homeschool.
N3ZR0ArkansasAge: 18-24Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Awesome!May 24, 2014N3ZR0ArkansasAge: 18-24Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I'm only into the the 7th chapter but i'm very impressed with this book. So far it doesn't really mention anything about the Bible or its scriptures, Its just from a scientific standpoint. When i first got this book in the mail and flipped through the pages i was a little worried about how difficult it would be to read and understand, but actually the way its laid out is really simple. When I read a book i usually like the chapters to be short, but the chapters are pretty long in this book, despite that- when i start a chapter its really hard for me to put down. The arguments in this book are great and a big eye opener, It will definitely help build your faith or help any skeptic come closer to the truth.
TylerAge: 25-34Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Well presentedSeptember 11, 2013TylerAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This book is an excellent one to get the head and heart in alignment. I think a lot of the time our hearts are ready to accept the good news of the gospel, but our minds are swayed by the "intellectuals" in our society to think of the Bible as foolish or a book of impossible stories. This book by Geisler and Turek removes that cognitive dissonance, and gives a firm foundation to know your faith and be grounded in reality, so your heart can be engaged with the message. An excellent book I would recommend to anyone with doubts about the validity of their faith, or anyone who is new to the faith, as it answers questions that are bound to come up.
Buster5 Stars Out Of 5Profoundly helpful; occasionally condescendingJune 1, 2013BusterQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5What Led Me to This Book:
The content of this book is immensely helpful. I am a Christian who has struggled greatly with my faith due to a poor understanding of God. Shortly after starting off well I came under the influence of some bad theology, and this in combination with the lack of a good foundation caused my view of God for a long time to become not much different than that of a tyrant. After suffering the bondage of this view for long enough, in pursuit of freedom I naturally began considering worldviews other than Christianity and God... none of which ended up making much sense to me.
How It Helped Me:
Despite my improper view of God, the foundational truth of Christianity still made more sense to me than anything else. This in combination with personal experience kept me through this long and trying period. Eventually, I came to realize that my problem was not that I doubted God's existence but that I had an improper understanding of Him. But by the time I realized this I had gained a lot of newfound questions due to my journey outside of the faith and these needed to be dealt with. So I definitely came into this book with a bias, that is I wanted to repair my faith, but I was not prepared for just how convinced of my faith this book would make me. The enormous collection of arguments and the way they are clearly and logically presented is excellent. I often found myself thinking "yeah but what about this?" only to have the very next paragraph deal with my objection.
I've read a lot and I have yet to find a better single resource that covers nearly everything like this book does, and it is not afraid to tackle some of the most difficult objections in a manner that is easy to understand. The format and style is clear and easy to navigate lacking just about anything except the facts.
Strongly Recommended For Anyone "Looking For A Way In":
I realize I'm biased but please don't let that prevent you from checking this book out. Somebody once said to me regarding claims about the validity of the testimony of the Bible, "People come to the Bible in 2 ways, either looking for a way in or looking for a way out." This is not intended to be a blanket statement, but in my own life I've found this to be relatively true. I've had genuine intellectual struggles, yes, but I've found them to increase as I've considered the possibility of conclusions contrary to the Bible and God's existence. Christianity for me does seem to make much more sense than the alternatives. For those who are "looking for a way in", who are seeking God or already believe but are genuinely struggling, I think this book will be immensely helpful.
For those who are "looking for a way out", who wish to make sense of this world without God and Christianity, I doubt this book will be all that helpful. If it's genuine answers that are sought, I believe this book provides an abundance of them, but as I found with myself during the times when I was trying to "find a way out", the arguments for the faith really didn't matter. Deep down the truth was kind of always there but many of my questions came as a result of over complicating the obvious to avoid it. And that's one of the strengths of this book, it takes what appears to be very complicated arguments against the faith and profoundly answers them in a simple yet thorough and logical manner bringing the reader back to the obvious.
My One Complaint:
My only complaint is that the rhetoric and tone in a few places can be somewhat condescending especially if you are already sensitive to this type of language or have had a bad experience within Christianity. I wish the authors were more considerate in this regard as it can be a bit of a turn off, especially for someone who is not opposed to the faith but is genuinely struggling with the questions at hand. It can come off in places as if it's "preaching to the choir", and for people who have experienced a loveless or condescending Christianity, this book in places may "appear" to resemble that tone, though I don't believe in any way that this was the author's intention.
Please don't let this turn you off. I don't think it's purposeful condescension as much as it is a result of the author's having spent much of their life debating people who are militantly against Christianity. The further I got into the book the less it bothered me as the content is excellent and the author's genuine intentions shine forth.
Overall, I think it would have benefitted from a gentler and less sarcastic tone in places, but regardless, I cannot recommend this book enough for the intellectually struggling believer or seeker. It quite literally covers everything from cover to cover in a succinct yet powerful manner. I am grateful to the author's for putting forth such an excellent and comprehensive piece of work.

The Motor Transport and Engineering Workers' Union, affiliated to the Centre of Indian Trade Union (CITU), representing the staff, has urged bus owners as well as the district administration to pay at least Rs. 1,100 a day to drivers and Rs. 1,000 a day to conductors as salary, besides other benefits.
A release here said that while bus owners were reaping the benefits of increased fares, they were ignoring the just demands of the staff. Besides increased pay, the staff should also be provided provident fund scheme, benefits of employees' insurance scheme, gratuity, hospital expenditure and uniform.
Bus operators claimed that they were paying "a good salary" to the employees. One of the office-bearers of D.K. Bus Operators' Association told The Hindu that majority of the operators were paying Rs. 1,000 a day (for 24-hour duty) to the employees, amounting to at least Rs. 15,000 per month.

- Wow! What a season and what a finale at All-City! Congratulations to all who swam!
Parents- please take a few minutes and go to www.cnslswimming.org and fill out the end-of-season survey. Your input really counts. This is where you can make your voice heard about coaches, managers & CNSL in general. Many people do not know that we as managers don't get a say on who is hired for coaches and assistants. Your feedback on the survey really directs a lot of the decisions they make for next season. Please take the time to let them know how everyone did and what we can all do to improve the Tiger Sharks for next year!

There's a need for birth control
There is a simple answer to world hunger is out there, if people would just use it. It is called birth control. As the world is getting over populated, in fact, the world population has doubled in the past hundred years, and today, there are 150,000 babies born every minute of every day. This number goes up with each passing month.

Economy & Business
Environment & Health
I am in China and using Facebook, as are many other people. However, we use VPNs or proxies to vault the Great Firewall blocks. This means that our usage of Facebook will show up where the VPNs and proxies are located, rather than in China.
The reason for the darkness is the block, not the lack of users.
Thanks for your comment, Ken. We considered the possibility that Facebook traffic in China would show up elsewhere on the map. But since the map was made using location information listed on Facebook profiles, rather than by tracing IP traffic, the VPN/proxy issue distortion doesn't seem to apply here. Except for those users who live in China while identifying themselves as living elsewhere on their Facebook profiles, it appears the map fairly accurately reflects Facebook usage in China.
It's surprising how the Philippines is so bright.
This map is an excellent example of the mental distance between the developed world and China. The comments from China blog users are classic. Chinese don't like foreigners and don't want to be apart of the world. They want to take their apparent current strength and head back to the imperial days when there was China and the rest of the world was made of of tribute states and barbarians.
It also is emblematic of the duality of Chinese life today. They so badly crave world recognition, but when they are not provided it because of their lack of soul, they run and say "we dont need the world anyway, we should develop our own ways"
"Some Sina Weibo users, meanwhile, argued that the microblogging service was a perfectly good substitute for Facebook."
I guess the poor blocked souls have never heard about this thing called Twitter.
i am living in China and i hate the forbidden policy of facebook,actually i enjoyed the happy time i could use facebook
Congratulations on Mark Zuckerberg being so wealthy etc but as a point of principle I must point out that Julian Assange a man of principle who has little money got 10 times more votes than moneybags Zuckerberg
So his crowning was basically a crowning by US big business
Mark probably shopping for a new GF.
"Mark IS probably shopping for a new GF"
I would have thought that one Great Firewall would be enough...
The block of facebook sucks! I lost the contact of many old classmates. I don't think block is the best way to prevent sth spreading. I miss all the funny games and quiz in Facebook.
Mark went to China to get a good price on the iphone4...
It's Wong that China do not except Facebook!
This is another great example of how China protects its market. The US, EU and Japan should reciprocate China's actions and protect their own markets from the Chinese, by doing to the Chinese what they do to them, that is, by raising tariffs, creating quotas, restrictions, regulations, allowing piracy of copyrighted Chinese creations, transfering ownership of Chinese brands to American and European companies, removing Chinese patents protection, enforcing court judgements against Chinese properties, imprisoning of Chinese managers, promoting industrial espionage against Chinese companies, and other sleezy actions that could only come up from a deceitful mind such as the Chinese mind. The Chinese laugh at the WTO. If American, European and Japanese products and services cannot enter China, their tanks will!
Foreigner can visit our Internet communities such as Sina Weibo, QQ zone or any others which are popular in China.
They can jion in us, there's no need that we have to follow these steps.
Who can take this market, who can play this tune?
Sad, but seems increasingly to be true. The ruling party looks increasingly insecure and frightened of their own people

it's so stupid that the Chinese cannot access Facebook all the world use it , it's an international thing
and QQ or renren only few people who aren't Chinese know it , but the rest of the world dont know or they don't care to know
the Chinese have to stop to think that the thing they do is popular !
get a life china
It's not surprising that the chinese are earning everyone's anger. They are just too proud of themselves and their heritage, so much that they fail to recognize other people and things. Their pride is making them run blind. In the end, it will lead them to their own destruction and isolation from the rest of the world.
China now has a key tool for sidestepping weak government enforcement of pollution controls, but only if it's allowed to function as intended.
The U.S. has been urging allies to steer clear of Asia's new China-led infrastructure investment bank. Robert Zoellick, former president of the World Bank, calls that approach mistaken on multiple levels.
Can legal reform and Communist Party control coexist in a way that will benefit Chinese governance and society?This is the question that confronts the country in the wake of its annual legislative gathering.
China's just-concluded legislative sessions seem to be another example of the deinstitutionalization of politics under Xi Jinping. Months from now, these meetings won't be seen as harbingers of reform, so much as another lost opportunity, writes CRT analyst Russell Moses.
Commentary: China's leaders have tended to concentrate their power and resources on policing areas they see as a threat to the existing political order, caring much less about social or moral order. That could be changing.

Well written and dispells many myths,
This review is from: The Command of the Ocean: A Naval History of Britain 1649-1815 (Paperback)
I picked up this book in Portsmouth after having realised I knew next to nothing about the true history of the Navy (apart from Nelson). This book was a delight, alternating between the naval history, the social background and technical developments. The one bit that really grabbed me was the role of Samuel Pepys in the Royal Navy. Also, the author goes into a few myths and errors that previous historians have introduces in their books, which shows how well researched the book is. I am now going to get the earlier book in the series to see where it all began.
