Next regular meeting: Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at 7 pm
Coming to SABBSA in June
Testing Evolution: Exposing Flaws
Are humans and chimps only 1 to 2% different?
Is the human genome 98% junk, as claimed?
Is Mitochondrial Eve evidence for evolution?
What are some recent discoveries regarding our chromosomes?
What should be done about creation in public schools?
Does the creation topic really matter?
Evolutionary thought has changed a great deal in the last few years. It was once thought that human DNA is primarily junk. For many years Mitochondrial Eve was presented as compelling evidence for evolution. In addition, the 1 to 2% difference between humans and chimps was declared as fact. However, recently these arguments have been completely reversed. This video reveals the rest of the story. Jim Bendewald, MDiv, interviews Dr. Kevin Anderson in this video revealing the amazing turn of events.
Dr. Anderson holds a PhD in microbiology from Kansas State University. He was also a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellow, conducting research in molecular genetics. He has since held research positions for biotech companies and state university professorships. In addition, Dr. Anderson is a scientist for the Creation Research Society and senior editor of the technical journal, the Creation Research Society Quarterly.
Please join us in June for creation science and biblical apologetics teaching you will find nowhere else in Bexar County.

The Origin of Old-Earth Geology & Christian Compromise in the 19th Century-Part II
The church's compromise on biblical authority began before Darwin. This eye-opening talk by historian Terry Mortenson with Answers in Genesis shows that biblical geologists defended biblical history (and exposed the fallacies in an old earth) in the 19th century and before, but the church refused to listen. We watched part I in January and found that material so compelling that we watched part II of Terry Mortenson's talk at our May meeting. we found its evidence very compelling. However, it saddens us to find out how long man has been trying to repress the truth of the Creator.
SABBSA on KSLR
Please join the San Antonio Bible Based Science Association as we are now "on the air" each Saturday afternoon with "Believing the Bible!" Join us Saturday afternoons at 1:45 pm on radio station KSLR 630 AM - The Word in South Texas.
Here is our schedule of program topics for May:
May 7 - DNA and the Bible
May 14 - Materialism
May 21 - Creationist, Dr. Carl Williams, MD - SABBSA Board
May 28 - Creation in the Church, Guest - Rev. Jerry Canupp, Kirby Baptist Church
There are several ways you can help with this exciting new endeavor. One and always first is pray for this program, for its content and impact. Second, become a sponsor as many of our board members have done and help us defray the $60+ per week costs of putting this program on the air. Third listen to this show on the air and tell your friends and family members so this can reach as wide an audience as possible. Fourth, help us with scripts. We are hoping that our board and other interested and knowledgeable members will both tell us what they would like to hear in future programs as well as help us by writing future scripts and coming on the air with us to make this truly a group effort.
Also, we now have an opportunity to take this program and broadcast it in radio stations across the country. To do that though we need sponsors to underwrite it at the very modest cost of $110 per month. Contact us at 210-861-0454 if you would like to help and expand our ministry in this way.

Update on Pterodactyl Hunt and Cuban Ministry
Our old friend and creation evangelist to Central America, John Pendleton gave us an update on his Pterodactyl hunt and plans for another visit to Cuba at our April meeting. John gave us a fascinating evening and we ask that you pray for his evangelistic efforts both in Central America and in Cuba where evangelism is still very challenging and restricted.

What you aren't being told about Astronomy, part III: Our Created Universe
Many in the creation field have been waiting on this video for three years. Part three of Spike Psarris' ground breaking video series, "What you aren't being told about Astronomy" is finally here and we viewed it during our March meeting. This exceptional video has two main focuses. It analyzes the secular "Big Bang theory" and shows it is not science, but philosophy which is not supported by scientific evidence. It then shows how well the biblical account of the created universe coincides with current scientific observations. Although this video is a little long, it does not disappoint, as Spike makes a great case for a God created universe being the far more scientific theory than the Big Bang model.
Science Workshops at FEAST in 2016
The following is a schedule of the presentations for this year's Science Workshops to be held the fourth Monday nights at FEAST at 6:30 pm.
"Made in His Image" starts January 2016!
A four-episode DVD series on the complexities of the human body Following the ICR's success of their groundbreaking Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis DVD series, the Institute for Creation Research is launching Made in His Image, a new series that will take the audience on a journey through the most complex and miraculous creation on Earth-us.
There is no better example of complex, conscious design than the human body. This awe-inspiring series will explore four of its most extraordinary systems, which are so perfectly designed and masterfully engineered that the viewer will be left with no doubt that we are indeed created by an expert designer, God.
"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Genesis 1:27 Produced from a biblical perspective, Made in His Image will inspire audiences by looking at the human body in all its wonder-fully functional, fully human, and fully created in God's image. Featuring medical, engineering, and other experts like Dr. Randy Guliuzza, Made in His Image will fascinate audiences with mind-blowing facts, dazzling imagery, and memorable illustrations. The four episodes will examine the stages of human development and show that everything we need to fulfill God's plan is instilled in us from the first moments of life. Each episode reinforces the knowledge that every human is special to God. He has endowed each of us with unique physical abilities, intellect, and spiritual lives to fulfill His purpose.
January 25, 2016
Episode 1: The Miracle of Birth. This episode shows the amazing development of a child from gestation to birth. Only a masterful creator could have designed a system that allows a child to thrive in a watery world for nine months then suddenly live in an air-breathing environment at birth.
We will also have excerpts from Dr. Guliuzza's "Truth on Tour" series.
February 22, 2016
Episode 2: The Marvel of Eyes. This episode explores the incredibly complicated human visual system and its vital role in our cognitive development from infancy through adulthood.
March 28, 2016
Episode 3: Uniquely Human Hands. This episode reveals the purposeful design of human hands and muscles that gives us unique abilities controlled by a sophisticated nervous system.
April 25, 2016
Episode 4: Beauty in Motion. This final episode illustrates the peak of human ability through athletic performance and revisits the aspects of complex design that confirm divine creation. Christians of all ages will marvel at the complexity of God's creation as revealed in Made in His Image. We hope this series will prompt viewers to worship the greatest Designer of all, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Our Upcoming Schedule at SABBSA in 2016
June, 2016
Testing Evolution: Exposing Flaws - Evolutionary ideas have changed a great deal in the last few years. It was once thought that human DNA is primary junk. For many years "Mitochondrial Eve"was presented as compelling evidence for naturalistic evolution. In addition, the purportedly small 1 - 2% difference between humans and chimps was declared as fact. However, these arguments have recently been completely reversed. This DVD reveals the rest of the story. Jim Bendewald interviews professor of biology Dr. Kevin Anderson in this video revealing the amazing turn of events.

The Authority of the Bible II- Prophecy and Statistics
Lanny Johnson with the Alpha Omega Institute spoke to us in February. His presentation focused on the inerrancy of biblical prophecies and authority of the Bible.
A Bible prophecy is not just a prediction about the future - it is a promise about the future. Within the Bible are approximately 2500 prophecies, about 2000 of which already have been fulfilled to the letter-no errors. A look at just a few broad, general examples of fulfilled prophecy and a look at messianic prophecies and the probability of one man fulfilling the major prophecies made concerning the Messiah - showing that coincidence is ruled out by the science of probability. Because the Bible proves to be such a dependable document, we should expect that the remaining 500 prophecies dealing with the "time of the end," will also be fulfilled to the last letter.
This multimedia presentation included the amazingly specific details in the Bible of predictions of what would happen in Tyre, Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Edom, Philistia, Sidon and Gaza. It also looked at the statistical impossibility of Christ accidentally or by deceit fulfilling all of the more than 300 Bible prophecies included about the Messiah in the bible, unless He was the true Messiah.
January 12, 2016
The Origin of Old-Earth Geology & Christian Compromise in the 19th Century-Part I (DVD)
To start the New Year we watched a video featuring Dr. Terry Mortenson of Answers in Genesis. This video showed that the church's compromises on biblical authority began before Darwin. This eye-opening talk by historian Terry Mortenson shows that biblical geologists defended biblical history (and exposed the fallacies in an old earth), but the church refused to listen.
We evaluated this presentation as very informative and well researched and documented. We were impressed enough to schedule to watch part two of this talk in April.
At our January meeting we also voted to reinstalled our current Board of Directors and slate of Officers.
December 8, 2015
The Human Body: Divine Engineering (DVD)
Evolutionists say any appearance of design in nature is just an illusion. But how does that stack up to reality?
Dr. Randy Guliuzza, a professional engineer, medical doctor, National Representative for the Institute for Creation Research and a former SABBSA Board Member explores the wonders of the human hand, demonstrating the precise interactions of our nervous systems and muscles that provide its powerful movements. Join Dr. Guliuzza as he unwraps the astounding design features that testify to the engineering genius of our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ.
December 6, 2015
Creation Ministry International (CMI) coming to San Antonio in December
Keaton Halley a speaker with CMI will be presenting at Calvary Chapel Solid Rock 17018 Silverwood Dr, San Antonio 78232 at 9am and 11am on Sunday, December 6. His topic is "Creation: What's the Big Deal?" CMI has an opening that evening for Mr. Halley to speak at your church. If interested call 1-800-6161CMI(264).

Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus
Dr. Al Johnson and SABBSA will host an encore showing of this highly acclaimed documentary on Thursday, December 3, 7 pm at the December meeting of the Greater Houston Creation Association at Houston's First Baptist Church, in Room 143. Please read the synopsis included with our October 26 showing below for information about this exciting video.
November 10, 2015
Human Design: The Making of a Baby (DVD)
Evolution holds that life descended from a common ancestor through small modifications over long periods of time.
Actual living creatures, however, reveal something different. ICR National Representative Dr. Randy Guliuzza explores the complexities of human reproduction to demonstrate that life couldn't possibly have evolved. He shows that biological systems are fully integrated - they have key parts that fit together for an intended purpose and break down when those parts are altered or removed.
Approaching the subject in a tasteful manner, Dr. Guliuzza takes his audience through the detailed process of reproductive physiology and microscopic anatomy required for the making of a human baby. The inescapable conclusions of design give God all the glory, showing that we are truly "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14).
Our evaluation of this video was that it showed an impresive amount of evidence proving that the miracle of birth is just that. A miraculously designed process which in no possible way could have occurred by chance. It is a glorious testimony to the greatness of our Creator!
October 13, 2015
Bruce Malone, the head of "Search for Truth Ministries" as well a prolific author and creation speaker joined us on October 13 at our monthly meeting. Bruce gave a presentation that night titled "Brilliant" which gave us a glimpse of the material in his new book of the same title. This talk makes it clear that ancient man was "brilliant" and not an ignorant cave dwelling ape man as our secular society believes. This is well in line with the Bible and scientific research and very supportive of our creation worldview.
For the second time in two years Bruce really excelled at giving us a very unique and provocative presentation. He gave us a vivid look at the evidence for ancient man being not the ignorant cave man, but the brilliant creation of God! We recommend both this presentation which is available on video plus Bruce's book of the same name. They are both "Brilliant"!
October 25, 2015
Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus
SABBSA will host an encore showing of this highly acclaimed documentary on Sunday, October 25, 6 pm at Kirby Baptist Church, 5114 Seguin Road, Kirby, TX 78219. Please read the synopsis below for information about this exciting video.

Dinosaurs and Man: Five Clues to Dinosaur Origins (DVD)
Some say dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago. Some say dinosaurs evolved into birds. Some say they never really existed. What is a Christian supposed to believe? In this update to What You Haven't Been Told About Dinosaurs, ICR's Brian Thomas provides five clues from rocks, fossils, ancient documents, and Scripture itself that point to the recent creation and co-existence of dinosaurs and man.
October 26, 2015
Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus
Is there proof from the Bible that the Exodus story has played out exactly as it was written? If so where is the proof in the world today that can validate the claims that it happened exactly as Exodus clearly lays out for the reader?
Drawing on the experience of many biblical scholars, curators, archaeologists and scientists, film maker Timothy Mahoney documents his research into this compelling question to uncover whether this exodus of the Israelites truly happened or has the Bible clearly gotten it wrong. He journeys to Egypt, the Middle East, England and more in search for the answers in the documentary Patterns for Evidence: The Exodus. It will take us on a 12-year journey around the world to search for the same answers the world is waiting for and what he finds at the end, well it's up to you to decide if the evidence he uncovers validates what is written in the Bible. Using stunning animations, narrated by Kevin Sorbo, interviews with leading archaeologists like Israel Finkelstein, Kent Weeks, and David Rohl and guest appearances by Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and Shimon Peres.
August and September, 2015
Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus
Despite all the archaeological evidence that has been found, people are still trying to figure out where the evidence comes into play regarding the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and everything that went along with that story from the Bible. From the ten plagues that hardened Pharaoh's heart to the pilgrimage of the people for 40 years into the desert, even the fall of Jericho's walls gives us questions.
Is there proof from the Bible that the story has played out exactly as it was written? If so where is the proof in the world today that can validate the claims that it happened exactly as Exodus clearly lays out for the reader?
Drawing on the experience of many biblical scholars, curators, archaeologists and scientists, film maker Timothy Mahoney documents his research into this compelling question to uncover whether this exodus of the Israelites truly happened or has the Bible clearly gotten it wrong.

Using stunning animations, narrated by Kevin Sorbo, interviews with leading archaeologists like Israel Finkelstein, Kent Weeks, and David Rohl and guest appearances by Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and Shimon Peres.
We evaluated this documentary to be of high quality and of great historical and apologetic value. It gives an exceptional set of archaeological evidences in support of the biblical account of the Exodus.

Startling Proofs
In July we saw the video "Startling Proofs" from the makers of the
"Left Behind" movies and as shown on TBN.
In this fast moving docudrama, we saw startling evidence of God's existence, His designs in nature and the His authorship of the Bible!
Startling Proofs features scientists and leading Bible scholars including Chuck Missler, Dave Hunt, Peter and Paul Lalonde, Grant Jeffrey and Dave Breese. This is one video you can share with your unsaved friends and loved ones.
Our evaluation of this film was that it contained a bevy of proofs for God's existence and the authority of His word. We did have some debate on the interpretations of some of the Bible prophecies which were alluded to, but there is nothing unusual about that. All in all this is an excellent video.
June 9, 2015
Formed out of Water and by Water
In the first verses of Genesis, Earth was created with an apparently unbroken surface of water over the "deep". Later the water was divided into a part above and a part below by an "expanse" called "heaven". Still later dry land was brought up out of the waters below. Further in 2 Peter 3:5 we are told that the Earth "was formed out of water and by water". So clearly water played a central role in the physical creation of Earth. Many of us have marveled at these things, but wondered about the details that might be involved.
In 1984 physicist Dr. Russell Humphreys hypothesized that God might possibly have first created matter in the form of water, H2O, with the magnetic spin of the two hydrogen atoms aligned. That would establish a specific initial value of magnetic energy in the Earth or other planets. This initial value, along with the nature of the core of each planet, would determine each planet's magnetic field and decay rate. So Humphreys made estimates of the magnetic fields we should find as then future space probes made measurements. Over the years Humphreys' predictions have been validated with the measured values by space probes and on the whole very far better than the predictions made by evolutionary planet formation theories.
On June 9th, Richard Stepanek from Alpha Omega Institute presented his talk titled Water, Water, Everywhere! He showed us an abundance of amazing facts about the role of water in the creation around us that the materialists simply would not expect. This is an amazing and God honoring presentation for layman and scientists alike.

A 12,000 year Timeline for the Bible, Part II with Dr. Daniel Harris
Creationists have debates within their own ranks. One of those is just how young is the earth? Does the Bible give us any hints as to whether a strict 6000 year time frame is implied or whether a somewhat longer time frame could be reasonably applied to the text? To bring this discussion into sharp view, we will have two of our board members present at our March, April and May meetings on this topic.
This month, at our regular meeting on May 5th, Dr. Daniel Harris gave us part II of his views on how a 12,000 year timeline better fits scientific data, historical records and the Bible's text. This follows a great presentation on March 10th by Dr. Carl Williams who espouses a more traditional 6000+ year time frame for the Earth and Bible history.
March 10, 2015
A 6000+ year Timeline for the Bible with Dr. Carl Williams
Dr. Carl Williams gave us a great beginning to our two month investigation as to the evidence for varying timelines which fit both the biblical text as well as historical and scientific data. Dr. Williams' presentation showed the wide vatiety of "traditional" interpretations of biblical timelines which can vary by as much as 3000 years! He also gave us a look at the differences between the several manuscripts from which our Bible was constructed and how they agreed and disagreed with one another on dates and ages which scholars have depended upon to arrive at their timelines for Earth history.
Dr. William's talk was both evangelical and informative. He made the point that our focus should be on the Creator and His plan for Christ and not debateable things as scripture warns us of. But, also he makes an interpretation point that the Hebrew word "yalada" from the Old testament cannot be interpreted as descent from an ancestral father but must be strictly interpreted as meaning "bore" or "to bear" insinuating that it must be from the seed of the true father. Dr. Harris will debate this point and many others at our April meeting.
February 8 - May, 2015

Evolution's Achilles' Heels
Like no other work that we are aware of, fifteen Ph.D. scientists collaborated to produce a coordinated, coherent, powerful argument. All of the contributors received their doctorates from similar secular universities as their evolutionary counterparts. Each is a specialist in a field relevant to the subject: Natural selection, origin of life, geology, genetics, radiometric dating, the fossil record, cosmology, and ethics.
Evolution's Achilles' Heels directly demolishes the very pillars of the belief system that underpins our now-secular culture-evolutionary naturalism. It's coupled with the Biblical command to reach the lost with the Bible's Good News. In a nutshell, it's a comprehensive outreach tool like no other.
This DVD has visually stunning animations and dramatic footage help to show how the theory's supposed strengths are, in fact, its fatal flaws-Evolution's Achilles' Heels.
To view the trailer for this film go to
Our group viewed 75 minutes of this video in February and found it to be of high quality and a good creationist tool. One good suggestion is that if used as a class study this video would best fit over perhaps three meetings with discussion time after each section.
4th Mondays in 2014 - 2015
FEAST Science Workshops Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis
This year our FEAST Science Workshops will feature the new 12-part series from the Institute for Creation Research entitled "Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis." Viewing this series, you'll walk away with a fresh understanding of the sometimes difficult-to-comprehend issues surrounding creation. Our dynamic host will lead you through discoveries of truth in awe-inspiring locations around the country. We will visit gardens and nature sites throughout Texas, the Grand Canyon, Dinosaur National Monument in Utah, and the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska.
From discussions on dinosaurs to the Ice Age, the series covers the origin of the universe, the origin of man, design, fossils, Noah's Flood, the age of the earth, ancient civilizations, and more. We invite you to spend fourth Mondays with us at FEAST, 25 Burwood Lane, San Antonio, TX, 78216 at 6:30 pm for this series of videos with two episodes shown each night along with expert commentary and question and answer sessions from the staff of the San Antonio Bible Based Science Association.
Monday, September 22
We had a great "kick off" to this series with a large and enthusiastic groups both in the adult and young children's seminars. In the adult seminar we watched session 1 of the series "Design-Chaos or Creation?" This episode explored the age-old question: Was the universe designed or is it a product of random chance? The first installment begins with a memorable and engaging introduction to the fundamentals and flaws of evolutionary theories and contrasts them with Scripture that illuminates the undeniable evidence of God's creation.
Origins of Life-Plants and Animals. The second episode that evening asked the question, Where did life come from? Was it a chemical accident in a primordial pond or a living microscopic stowaway on an ancient asteroid? Or was it something more intentional? This episode explored the mystery of how life on Earth began. Our experts analyzed the prevailing theories of life's origins and test them against known natural laws, recent genetic evidence, and other data that point to the divine origins of plants and animals.
The following is an overview of the topics that will be covered in this series and the dates on which they will be shown.
October, 27 2014
Origins of Life-Humans. One of the most controversial questions in all of science centers on where humans came from. Did we evolve from the animal kingdom, or were we uniquely and divinely created to hold stewardship over the earth? This episode examines some of the prevailing theories about mankind's origins and presents fascinating new evidence from genetic and medical research that indicates we've been misguided by 150 years of evolutionary theories and teachings. Fossils.
What does the fossil record actually reveal about the history of life on Earth? In this episode, we explore the secrets of the past revealed by fossils and expose how appearances can be deceiving. Astonishing new discoveries from dinosaur fossils cast doubt on mainstream assumptions about the age of the earth and suggest that cutting-edge science is only beginning to uncover the wisdom and complexity of God's design.
January 26, 2015
Noah's Flood. There is little disagreement among scientists that the earth's climate and geology have been drastically altered by water since the beginning of time, but they puzzle over how and when this occurred. Does the great worldwide Flood described in Genesis explain natural wonders like Grand Canyon? Or was it the result of gradual erosion over eons of time? Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis takes this question on location, where one of the world's leading experts in Flood geology puts the evidence on display.
Age of Earth. How old is Earth? Understanding the approximate age of the earth is more than an intellectual curiosity-it's actually a critical issue of faith. By taking a closer look at the scientific evidence, this episode reveals why basic assumptions about Earth's age may be flawed. A recent, explosive example provides further evidence that the earth's ancient past may not be so ancient after all.
February 23, 2015
Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs captured our imaginations long before the field of paleontology was established in the 1700s. Dragons, winged serpents, and giant behemoths have inhabited folklore around the world for centuries. Most modern scientists claim dinosaurs became extinct eons ago, while ancient historians and monster-hunters have recorded more recent sightings. Did dinosaurs really die off before the age of man? This segment explores surprising evidence that dinosaurs may have walked the earth with early humans and explains why that matters to Christians.
The Ice Age. Most scientists agree that the earth has experienced long periods of time when glacial ice covered the continents as a result of drastic changes in geology and atmosphere. What worldwide cataclysm could have caused such a dramatic change in Earth's climate? How did it affect the development of civilization? Could it happen again? We will dig into the causes and effects of the Ice Age and what it tells us about the world we live in today.
March 23, 2015
Ancient Civilization. If all living things except Noah and his family were destroyed in the Flood, how and when did civilizations rebuild? Where did the Neanderthals come from? How did the great nation of Egypt develop? Are the Bible stories of Moses and the nation of Israel historical? Using the latest discoveries in biology, medicine, archaeology, and anthropology, this episode unearths man's past to help us uncover the truth.
Origin of the Universe. Modern technology enables scientists and stargazers to explore distant parts of the universe that ancient astronomers only dreamed of. New physics discoveries provoke fascinating and often fanciful theories about how the universe began but offer no tangible evidence. By applying the laws of empirical science and mathematics to the question of origins, it becomes apparent that the biblical account of creation is startlingly accurate. Once again, science confirms Scripture.
April 27, 2015
Uniqueness of Earth. How is it possible that we exist at all, much less on a planet filled with so much beauty and complexity, hanging upon nothing in the endless void of space? Is the earth unique or merely, as Carl Sagan once said, "an insignificant planet of a humdrum star, lost in a galaxy" among millions of galaxies? By analyzing the uniqueness of Earth's-and our own-position in the universe, we discover more about God's eternal plan.
The Big Picture. Over the course of these episodes, we will guide the viewer through profound mysteries that have puzzled man for centuries. This final episode reflects on the key questions and evidence and asks the viewers to consider what they have witnessed and learned. Having seen evidence that confirms the biblical account of creation, not just on terms of faith but on terms of science, viewers should acknowledge a greater security and confidence in the Bible's message and purpose.

Castle Hills First Baptist School
SABBSA President Scott Lane gave two full days of presentations at the Castle Hills First Baptist Church School on February 5th and 6th of 2015. Thanks so much to Castle Hills for inviting us, being such a gracious host and for affording us an unbelievably great opportunity to help educate and interact with our youth who are our future. We were able to communicate a biblical interpretation of dinosaurs, biology, and give great evidence for the authority of God's word to about 400 students and faculty.
Included in these presentations were two geared specifically for elementary age children K-4. These were talks on where dinosaurs fit into the Bible and "Incredible Creatures that Defy Evolution." These presentations were well received by the younger kids and we would recommend them for your school or church's young children.

The Case for a Creator
Has Science Discovered God?
When Lee Strobel was a high school freshman, science convinced him that God didn't exist. Since then, however, incredible scientific discoveries have not only helped restore Lee's faith, but have strengthened it.
Lee is not alone. More and more scientists, confronted with startling, cutting-edge evidence from many areas of research, no longer believe the universe just "happened" or that life arose by mere chance. Behind a universe of staggering complexity, they are seeing signs of a Master Designer.
Are your science textbooks still telling you the same "facts" that Lee's did years ago? Prepare to be astonished by what some of today's most respected experts have to say about:
The birth of the universe
Darwinism and the origin of life
The astounding fine-tuning of the cosmos
Amazing molecular machines and DNA research
Weigh the evidence for yourself. Then consider this question: Could it be that the universe looks designed ... because it is?
We evaluated this to be an overall good evangelistic tool with an ID bent. While we would take issue with its acceptance of the Big Bang and deep time, the other design information shown makes this a good tool to show a disbelieving public the clear evidence of God's existence.

The Case for Faith
In this video journalist Lee Strobel investigates two of the most emotional objections to Christianity. Barriers to faith confronted by believers and skeptics alike: Why is Jesus the only way to God? And, how could a loving God exist if there is evil and suffering in the world?
Skeptics of Christianity are everywhere, boldly asking tough questions in order to disprove the faith. Doubt no more! Author Lee Strobel, a journalist, investigated the toughest objections to Christianity and found solid answers. Whatever intellectual or emotional objections one has to the Christian faith are directly refuted by Strobel's honest and thorough discoveries.
Our viewers found this video to be a sound evangelical tool with no problems for the young earth creationist. It also evoked an inspired debate within our own ranks around the questions of Calvinist vs. the Armenian views of eternal security. We recommend this video as a powerful evangelical tool.

Brian Mariani of Alpha Omega Institute
The 5 Common Deceptions in Our Culture
regarding God, the Bible, science, and Creation. This presentation created audience interaction in covering questions like:
"Why is Creation important?
"Do we really believe God and the Bible?
"What can you do about spreading Creation?
"How Big is Your God?
Within this presentation, AOI speaker, Brian Mariani shared his personal testimony and passion for Creation Training. He explained why he is in the creation evangelism ministry and informed us about Alpha Omega Institute's vision for their new training program, the Discover Creation Training Institute (DCTI).
We were honored to have at our meeting the French family, who live just north of San Anotnio and whose son is planning to attend DCTI and become perhaps their first student!

The apologetics classic "The Case for Christ" by Lee Stroebel.
In October we watched Lee Stroebel's the "Case for Christ" and found it to be a great apologetics tool for evangelism.
A seasoned journalist chases down the biggest story on record in The Case for Christ. Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, former Chicago Tribune legal editor Lee Stroebel cross-examines a dozen experts with tough, point-blank questions in search of credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth was positively the Son of God. This compelling video follows Stroebel's two-year investigation of the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ. Topics include: the historical accuracy of the Gospels, the personal claims of Jesus, and His resurrection from the dead.
Although Stroebel is an old Earth creationist, there is no hint of such beliefs in this video.

How I Know Ministries
On Saturday, August 30 creation evangelists Mario and Danielle Lopez will present their testimonies and creation evidences at Living Way Church's Family Life Center. Their multimedia presentation includes some excellent film clips on various creation science topics and their testimonies reveal the journey of how one came to faith and another found the designs of the Creator!
Their goal is to fulfill the commandment in scripture that we are "always to be ready with an answer" for the
reasons you have the hope we have in Christ! do you know why you believe what you believe? This presentation examines
what we say we believe and why our culture and Christians hold the beliefs each adhere to.

Darwinism is a Religion
SABBSA Board member Terry Read will present at "The Hope is in Jesus Church" on Friday,
September 05 at 07:00 PM. The address is 2308 Cincinnati Ave. Terry will give
the "Darwinism is a Religion" presentation showing that the evolutionary theory is not
science, but dangerous philosophy which is tearing down our culture and our kids.

Evidence for Creation Seminar, Part III
At our August meeting, we concluded the three part "Evidence for Creation Seminar" by John Heffner which we have run this summer.
John is a career mathematician and committed Christian. He is currently head of the math department at Kilgore High School. He teaches Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus. John also serves on the adjunct math faculty at Kilgore College. John participates in numerous research trips and excavations annually. He has presented hundreds of seminars in churches and schools explaining scientific evidences in light of Biblical teaching. He has appeared on several international TV broadcasts discussing creation.
We found this series to be one of the most concise and well presented creation presentations we had ever seen!
Session 3 included such topics as: "Noah's flood- fact or fiction?"; "Geologic features of the Earth."; "Lessons from the Grand Canyon"; "Age of the Earth"; "Design in nature"; and "God's incredible creatures'.
While the presentation style of Mr. Heffner continued to impress, this was the first video with which we had some issues. His comments on Noah's Flood and the Ark were right on, as were his evidence for a young earth in geology. His use of the "shrinking sun" argument, canopy theory, quick freezing of Mammoths and Walter Brown's theory of hyper-rapid continental division are highly debatable today and perhaps not the best evidence which can be sighted in light of current research.
Overall, we still found this entire series both enlightening and fulfilling.
July 8, 2014
Evidence for Creation Seminar, Part II
In July we continued the three part "Evidence for Creation Seminar" by John Heffner.
We found the first two sessions in this series to be one of the most concise and well presented creation series we have ever seen!
Session 2 focused on evidence for the recent demise of dinosaurs and for men coexisting with dinosaurs. This session includes such topics as: "Dinosaurs all over the World", "Dragon Legends", "Human Footprints in Stone", "Incredible Artifacts", "Excavations in CO, WY, UT and TX" and "Indian Petroglyphs."
June 10, 2014
Evidence for Creation Seminar, Part I
In June we started the three part "Evidence for Creation Seminar" by John Heffner.
Session 1 of this series contained a wealth of "meat and potatoes" creation science shown in one of the most concise and well presented creation talks we had ever seen!
Session 1 included such topics as: "Science plays catch up with the Bible"; "The 6 days of
creation"; "Giant animals of the pre-flood world"; and "Human population statistics"

SABBSA and AOI in the Rio Grande Valley
On Saturday, June 7 SABBSA had the honor of collaborating with the
Alpha Omega Institute (AOI) at the 3rd Annual Rio Grande Valley Home School Conference which was held at First Church of the Nazarene, 2001 N. 7th Street, Harlingen, TX 78550.
Scott Lane of SABBSA presented on the topic of "The Theories of Creation." Thanks to SABBSA Treasurer, Dr. Carl Williams who made the trip all the way to the valley and back that day to help us out at the convention providing valley home school families with AOI's excellent materials.

The Best and Worst Arguments Against Evolution
At our May meeting we had a vigorous discussion evaluating a list of the best arguments and evidences against the theory of evolution.
We agreed that current evidence that almost the entire human genome is functional is disastrous for the theory of evolution. Among a long list of other good evidences for God's creation and against purposeless evolution were4: design features in all living things; DNA evidence which shows we all came from one primordial man and one primordial woman; evolution seems to violate the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics and the Law of Biogenesis to name just a few of the wealth of evidences discussed.
Along the way we explored how some arguments used by Christians and anti-evolutionists are sometimes not the best. While many arguments have a good basis in fact, they may be hard for the general public to understand or be easily confused by an evolutionary debater so we cautioned in the use of such arguments in some scenarios.

Things That Go Bump in the Night: Do black holes and dark matter exist?
At our April meeting we saw a video from Answers in Genesis with Astronomer Dr. Danny Faulkner who explores the existence of black holes, dark matter and dark energy. He separates the issues of physics and good science from evolutionary musings.
Do black holes exist? What about dark matter? Dark energy?
This video purported to answer these questions. It made a good case for black holes and that is not a point of contention in creation circles. However, the information Dr. Faulkner gives for dark matter is nothing new and is unconvincing as to the existence of dark matter. The topic of dark energy is not covered.
While the video was informative, it did not give us anything which would shake our disbelief in dark matter and dark energy. Further, in our discussion after the video we questioned how pertinent the information presented was to the creation debate and we were hard pressed to find good relevance.
Science Workshops at FEAST in 2014
We will again put on the FEAST Science Workshops on the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30 pm at the Family Educational Alliance for South Texas. We thank FEAST for having faith in us to provide this teaching for the seventh consecutive year! Below is the schedule of multimedia presentations we will present for the home school community this school year.
Each one of these titles represents a multimedia presentation with embedded films and pictures to enhance each presentation. We will offer a companion young children's program to go along with the youth and adult's program described.
January 27, 2014 - Biology in a Created World
February 24, 2014 - God, Man and Dinosaurs
March 24, 2014 - What If God Wrote the Bible?
April 28, 2014 - The Discovery of Genesis in Chinese
A synopsis of each of these presentations are available on our resources page.

Tower of Babel
Do you know how Babel points to Jesus Christ? We viewed a video from Answers in Genesis in March which does just that.
An exciting new video "The Tower of Babel: Can the "Story" be trusted today?" answers the most important questions about the Tower of Babel in Genesis and the intriguing topics related to it.
Many Christians, including many theologians and academics believe the events the Bible describes
at Babel are myths or legends, and need to be reinterpreted. They attack the account, saying it
cannot possibly be based on fact. But are these assaults on the Bible warranted? Apologetics expert
Bodie Hodge says the Bible is accurate and answered such questions as:
*Who built the Tower of Babel?
*What did it look like?
*Who was Nimrod and what was his part in the rebellion?
*Did the continents split at the time of Babel?
*Why did God confuse the people with multiple languages?
*By what means did the people travel?
*Where did all the different people initially go?
*Why the sudden decrease in longevity?
*What do extra-biblical sources say of a language split?
*How does Babel point to Jesus Christ?
The Babel account can be trusted as written, and it is a key to understanding evangelism and the lands and people of the world today! After viewing this video we had spirited debate about whether the videos interpretation fo the separating of the continents occurred only during the flood or for hundreds of years thereafter. We would endorse this video as a thought provoking exercise!

Dave Nutting, Alpha Omega Institute
Dave & Mary Jo Nutting are the Directors of Alpha Omega Institute. They were college math and science instructors when they first grappled with the problems of evolution and became convinced of the evidence for Creation. Their personal contact with students convinced them of the importance of the issue, not only in science, but in evangelism and Christian growth. Since founding AOI in 1984, they have spoken extensively throughout the USA and overseas to young and old alike.
Dave gave us multiple examples of how man continually copies designs in nature because God has
already worked out problems we wish to solve today in engineering, medicine and many other fields, and God
has done so far better than our best attempts and far beyond our abilities to duplicate at times. Design in nature points to an Intelligent Designer, not random chance and accidents.
These fascinating examples from the living world support the claim that
"The evidence cries out: Creation!"

Set in Stone
"Set in Stone" from Truth in Science and Illustra Media, takes the viewer on a visual odyssey of discovery shot in high definition on location around Britain. It takes us to spectacular scenery, awe inspiring landscapes and beautiful coastlines. It presents evidence for Earth's catastrophic past to enable the viewer to ask important questions.
According to modern geology, our world is over four and a half billion years old, and its geological features have been sculpted over vast eons of time. Everyone knows that Planet Earth is unimaginably ancient. It's common knowledge that geological forces have acted slowly over millions of years to form the rocks beneath our feet. But what if what everyone 'knows' is wrong?
Were the rocks around us formed slowly and gradually - or suddenly during catastrophic events?
Did the history of the world unfold over vast eras of time or much shorter periods? And what do
the rocks really tell us about the geological history of our world? Our evaluation of this video was very positive
we believe it would be an invaluable educational tool for high school education.

Becoming a Big Brother or Sister
- next ›

- ‹ previous
There are few things more exciting than bringing a new baby into the family, but introducing a young child to the idea of becoming a big brother or sister can be challenging. Luckily, picture books can be a great help.
There are a number of excellent picture books that illustrate the big changes a new baby will bring to the family, but I've found that many place more emphasis on older sibling jealousy than simply introducing the idea of change. While sibling rivalry should certainly be addressed if and when it becomes an issue, I set out to find books to help toddlers and preschoolers feel positive and excited about the prospect of becoming an older sibling.
Books for Young Children that Celebrate Becoming a Big Brother or Sister
One Special Day by Lola Schaefer
Does having a new brother or sister make you into MORE than you already are? Spencer is about to find out. He's as strong as a bear, as funny as a monkey, and as wild as a tiger. But on one special day, everything changes. Now Spencer is strong, funny, wild, brave, free... and gentle, too.
Supersister by Beth Cadena
Brave enough to walk to the bus stop alone. Strong enough to lift--and pour--her own bowl of cereal. Able to read a story aloud all by herself. Who could this masked girl be? It's Supersister! This fresh take on a new sibling story is sure to empower young readers, as it reminds them of all the super things they can do by themselves, and makes it possible for any child to become a super-helper.
I Kissed the Baby by Mary Murphy
"I saw the baby! Did you see the baby?" "Yes! I saw the baby, the teeny weeny thing." It's so exciting! News of the baby is buzzing from animal to animal, with each one -- fish, bird, squirrel, insect, frog -- boasting of seeing, feeding, singing to, tickling, and kissing the tiny little thing. With bold, graphic black-and-white illustrations, Mary Murphy's simple, singsong story captures the giddy commotion that only a baby can bring.
Just Like a Baby by Juanita Havill
Everyone has plans for baby Ellen. But even though she's just a baby Ellen will do exactly as she pleases. Here is a heartwarming book for any family with a new baby, wishing for a new baby, and, most important of all, loving a new baby.
There's Going to Be a Baby by John Burningham
When is the baby coming? What will we call it? What will the baby do? We don't really need the baby, do we? This title brims with love, excitement and reassurance as the child in the story imagines all kinds of colorful futures for the brother or sister he is waiting to meet.
Hello Baby! by Lizzy Rockwell
Through a perfect blend of sweet illustrations and friendly narration, a young boy describes how a new baby is growing inside his mommy and tells what it is like when his new sister comes home from the hospital.
On Mother's Lap by Ann Hubert Scott
A small Inuit boy discovers that Mother's lap is a very special place with room for everyone
I Used to Be the Baby by Robin Ballard
"I used to be the baby, but now I am big." So begins this story of a not-very-big sibling who suddenly finds himself with a baby brother. He willing shares his toys with the baby, he plays with him, and he knows when to be quiet. He sings a cheerful song when it is needed, and he teaches his brother many useful lessons. But sometimes even the biggest of us likes to be the baby -- and in this loving family, that is no problem at all!
Welcome Little Baby by Aliki
"Welcome to our world, little baby. We've been waiting for you." "In a simple text that's perfect, Aliki conveys warmth, love, hope, and the special tenderness felt by parents at the birth of their child."--Horn Book
What a Good Big Brother by Diane Wright Landolf
After everyone else in the family does everything they can to calm little Sadie down, it's up to big brother Cameron to take over with his special kisses and loving tummy rub--magically turning his little sister's grimace into a happy grin.
And for Something a Little Different….
Sisters & Brothers: Sibling Relationships in the Animal World by Stephen Jenkins
Here, Steve Jenkins and Robin Page investigate sibling relationships throughout the animal kingdom. In this book you will learn that anteaters are always only children and nine-banded armadillos are always born as identical quadruplets. You will also learn that falcons play-hunt in the sky and that hyena cubs fight to the death. This is the perfect book for animal lovers young and old!

text: Home > Medical schemes > General info 26 July 2012 Medical scheme fraud Here are the most common ways in which both members and healthcare providers defraud medical schemes. 0 Like us on Facebook » Subscribe to the newsletter » Ask CyberDoc » Quiz How long will you live? » Medical history Bacteria gallery The healthcare sector is 'robbed' of between R4bn and R13bn every year through fraud, abuse and unethical behaviour, according to Liberty Medical Scheme (LMS). LMS participated in the latest (third) industry-wide KPMG anti-fraud survey covering the period from 2007-2009. Among other things the survey revealed the following: Fraudulent member claims represented a relatively small amount of R67.3m out of a claim value of R 145bn over the three-year period. Non-disclosure of prior ailments was the most common fraud reason cited for member fraud. Service provider fraud, however, is increasing with code manipulation being the most common type investigated followed by services not rendered. Medical scheme administrator's response to medical fraud reflects a crackdown on fraud in this industry over the last decade. In the first KPMG survey (covering 2001 to 2003), only 49% of medical aid administrators responded that they never keep quiet about fraud cases. By 2009 every administrator that responded to the survey indicated that fraud is now reported. This zero-tolerance approach is due to the efforts of dedicated forensic investigative units maintained by most medical schemes. The respondents have ranked their forensic units as a crucial fraud risk management tool, on equal footing with hotlines for whistleblowers. Internal controls include maintaining a fraud policy, and a code of conduct, both of which have been consistently rated over the last three surveys as the best ways of tackling fraud, with the use of detection software also ranking highly. Stressing LMS' zero-tolerance approach to fraud and abuse, LMS Executive Principal Officer Andrew Edwards says the sad truth is that fraud and abuse of the system can – and does - occur just as regularly in the healthcare system and medical scheme industry as in any other environment. With the help of a dedicated forensic investigative unit, LMS keeps a close eye on any irregularities, dealing with it swiftly and efficiently, to the benefit of all stakeholders. "Moreover, as many South Africans find it increasingly difficult to make ends meet, instances of fraud and abuse on all sides of the spectrum – from members, healthcare providers and employees, to intermediaries, administrators and trustees – unfortunately appear to be on the increase. It is therefore paramount that we vigilantly monitor any suspicious conduct and claim, and act speedily and decisively to prevent the unnecessary loss of funds." He points out that a dedicated team of forensic specialists monitor, detect and investigate any instances of fraud or abuse and the team is strengthened by other clinical specialists in the business. "As a result, the team benefits from interaction and collaboration with these specialist areas within the business to enhance the fraud risk management activities," Edwards adds. From a forensics perspective the focus is strongly on both prevention and detection. Through a dedicated KPMG Ethics Hotline, as well as e-mail and fax facilities, members/consumers are encouraged to report instances of suspected fraud and dishonest actions at any given time. In addition, all claims data are stored in a fraud data warehouse, while suspicious trends among both members and providers are closely scrutinised. The investigative process relating to incidences where LMS is potentially exposed to fraud, constitutes focus on loss mitigation, the identification of perpetrators, disciplinary action, civil and criminal proceedings and process improvement. In instances where actions boil down to downright fraud, criminal charges may be laid at the SAPD, Edwards explains. "Not at all uncommon, private healthcare fraud and abuse is a national problem affecting all of us, either directly or indirectly. This loss leads to increased costs for all stakeholders involved, everyone from funders and providers to medical scheme members. The ultimate cost of healthcare fraud, however, is felt the hardest by the scheme members, who pay the monthly contributions towards their medical cover. By vigilantly monitoring fraudulent behaviour and acting swiftly to bring culprits to book, LMS has managed to recoup significant amounts of money, to the benefit of our members," Edwards concludes.

Posted on 09/27/2012 8:28:03 AM PDT by TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed
A challenge to Barack Obamas eligibility to be president is forming within the Electoral College process, WND has confirmed.
James Grinols, one of 10 presidential electors chosen by the Republican Party of Minnesota, is asking GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan to provide Grinols legal counsel, Mario Apuzzo, with their paper, full form official certificate of birth with raised seal from the place of your birth.
Grinols goal is to establish a standard in the Electoral College that each candidate for the presidency and vice presidency present to duly nominated electors of their parties an official long-form birth certificate to demonstrate that the candidates are qualified as natural born citizens, according to Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Novel is right.
Standing? He's not an elector unless his slate gets elected in November.
It's the electoral college that has the final determination as to whether or not a candidate meets the qualifications for office, and the reason individual people have no 'standing' in the courts to challenge the outcome.
How is it novel? These are documents that an overwhelming majority of people can provide upon request. Is it novel in the approach to validate the nominee?
If Romney wins Minnesota, then Obama will be lucky to win about eight other states.
It is novel in that this is the first time that we have seen this activity coming from an elector.
Most electors do not realize that, for a short time, they become an independent fourth branch of government - one that was purposely designed to keep elected officials from forming closed clubs that shut out voters. Usually an elector just assumes that his role is ceremonial and does nothing but cast a vote for his party's candidate.
Grinols is showing that the electors have teeth and his approach is designed to show other electors how to use them.
In my opinion, that is novel.
Illegal, unjustified, chep political move, Birther nonsense and none of this matters anyway because just being an Elector doesn't give a person "Standing".
For over 200 years The Electoral College has been merely ceremonial, but I can't help but believe that The Founding Fathers had more in mind. I sincerely believe it is the responsibility of The Electoral College to ensure that the candidates meet the qualifications set forth in The Constitution.
Yup, MN is a back breaker for Republicans ~ so this is the right place for an elector to challenge Obama on the credentials.
Hmm ~ an elector is the one who casts the ballot, so he's got a right to be sure it's for the right person. Seems to me every elector has "standing" ~ and there's nothing anybody else can do about it.
We don't have many such offices, but by golly that's what these are.
Unless otherwise directed in the Constitution these guys don't even have to recognize the Judiciary or the Executive branches of government in exercising their office.
it's the states that control who is on the ballot
yet they aren't even requiring proof of US citizenship.
the states are committing election fraud if they aren't checking
"Illegal, unjustified, chep [sic] political move, Birther nonsense and none of this matters anyway"...
Sorry, I forgot my sarcasm tag. I was channeling the NYT just for laughs. Of course an elector has standing by definition.
If the treatment of convention delegates by both parties is any indication, they'll just ignore anything they don't wamt to hear.
Time is shorter than we think.
With only few exceptions, where an elector voted for someone other than who he was pledged to, they have been no more than rubber stamps. I pray it doesn't have to come to that, but there are far too many people who question Baraq 0bama's aka Barry Soetoro's eligibility. Heck, there is not even definitive proof he is even a citizen! The affects a lot of things, among them his standing as Commander in Chief. Since the congress, SCOTUS, various State Secretaries of State have failed to do their duty, I would really like to see The Electoral College examine the candidates before voting. This is one thing I fault Dick Cheney on when he presided.
Thanks! I was hoping that someone who has been active on FR for a couple of months longer than I have could not really be so far off the rails....
Well thank you, Nancy, for your inputs.
i'll accept Obama was born in Hawaii.
but, he IS hiding something.
Why was the BROTHER of Virginia Sunahara,
refused a copy of his dead sister's BC ?
and you speak of illegal...
how about a CT SSN for someone from Hawaii?
or the ONLY Selective Service form in the database,
that has a TWO digit date stamp instead of FOUR?
major crimes have been committed.
and, a candidate for public office,
should be PROUD to show his long form BC.
(which Obama has NEVER done. Why?
other US Presidents have, like Eisenhower.)
" What other motivation could a state have for denying someone a photocopy of his deceased sister's original birth certificate? "
One size fits all.
A state who wants to cover up wrongdoing.
I wonder how they are going to handle Willard's father George being born in Mexico...
True, but the States are the first determiners
The electoral college is the last.
It is my opinion that every citizen has "Standing" when it comes to insuring their governing document is abided by, but our court system has saw fit to create a new Aristocracy where the peasant class has no say regarding who shall govern them. I take it you are okay with this development?
They are going to ignore it because it is completely irrelevant.
>> "Sorry, I forgot my sarcasm tag. I was channeling the NYT just for laughs." <<
Tag shouldn't be needed, thus my tagline.

Where a candidate's parents are born is not the issue in determining Natural Born Citizen status. It is whether they are citizens at the time of a candidate's birth that matters.

"Presidents Washington and Jefferson saw the need for maintaining the government in the Balanced Center where the Constitution had placed it.
With both the Eagles Wings flying - one solving problems, the other preserving resources and freedoms - the American future could not help but to ascend to unprecedented heights of wealth and influence."

This will do about as much good.
It only takes 1 and the candidates must provide the documentation.
ditto, very good.
Anything that raises the issue is fine with me. But nothing will come of this as it relates to obama. No one will force him to produce anything.
I saw it after I had already posted my comment. Thanks for pointing it out though.
I agree, we all have standing - except with a corrupt judiciary.

I've always wanted to have a brighter light color coming from my headlights but the auto stores wouldn't carry the bulbs for my vehicle. So when I went online on Auto Anything they had the perfect fit for more car. It was an easy snap to put them on and they work just perfect, now I want to replace every single light bulb with a Putco Pure Halogen bulbs all over my car, including my tail lights.

KPMG has been recognised for forward-thinking leadership and exceptional commitment to client support.
What start-ups need to consider? Where to get access to information? What events they can consider to attend?
By Alessio Marinelli, KPMG China
Is your organization drowning in data? Chances are this may only get worse. Given the dramatic growth forecasted for transaction volumes in Asia (which, according to The Nilson Report in 2010, are expected to top USD10 trillion by 2015), it seems clear that Asia's payments processers face both a significant risk and a massive opportunity when it comes to dealing with Big Data.
Managing risks and taking advantage of opportunity
The risk posed is that Asia's payments organizations may quickly become overwhelmed by the huge amounts of data in their systems and fail to translate their Big Data into big value. Indeed, to date, many of Asia's largest payments organizations have generally lagged behind their global peers in their collection and use of data. Essentially, this means that significant value – and possibly competitive advantage – is being lost.
Big Data creates a massive opportunity for Asia's payments participants. The simple fact is that payments processers have access to an enviable amount of customer data which, when properly analyzed and packaged, can generate new revenue streams for banks and valuable insight for their clients, particularly in the retail, hospitality and leisure industries. Spending patterns can be analyzed, products can be better promoted, and data can be aggregated and resold to interested parties. Moreover, once armed with this level of customer insight from payments processors, companies can subsequently start to evolve their liquidity management and ensure that investments are being channeled to the right projects at the right time.
However, many of Asia's payments processers face significant challenges in reaching this goal. For one, payments leaders will need to evolve their business intelligence (BI) from simply collecting and collating information to also focusing on analytics and aggregation. Consequently, Asia's payments industry will need to assert the value of their data and accompanying analytics to those clients that would benefit most from this information.
Much to lose, but more to gain
Based on the experience of peers in other regions, Asia's banks also stand to gain significant internal advantages from maturing their BI and data analytics capabilities. One major area of opportunity is in the back office. By delivering more insightful and timely analysis, a bank or card company may, for example, gain a clearer understanding of the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on their payments. This will effectively lead to improved currency hedging within the treasury department and result in better cash management and forecasting.
Another area of high value for payments providers comes from using data analytics to draw a clear picture of the lifecycle profitability of each available channel. This delivers greater insight into how transactions move and how that links to the propensity to buy or customer preferences for each of those specific channels.
The path to data enlightenment
So what can Asia's payments participants do to reap the full value that Big Data offers? Firstly, organizations must understand what they hope to achieve from their BI and Big Data strategies. This will require them to truly understand their business strategy and then work from the top down to identify the individual key performance indicators that support the achievement of the organization's goals. In other words, rather than simply responding to the immediate demands of the organization, BI leaders would be wise to focus on ensuring that their long-term strategy clearly aligns to the strategic goals of the organization.
Organizations will also need to develop the capability to discern what data (and from what source) delivers the most valuable insight against that strategy and what data only adds complexity and uncertainty to the process.
China's leadership clearly recognizes that a functional, efficient and secure payments system is key to maintaining growth. Indeed, as the Governor of the People's Bank of China, Zhou Xiaochuan, noted, "The extensive development of China's payment system in recent years, and its safe and efficient operation, has effectively supported and promoted economic and social development for the country."
Making analytics a business priorityOne would be hard pressed to overestimate the value that BI and analytics can offer Asian payments participants. Indeed, with massive growth forecasted in Asia's payments volume, the region is uniquely positioned to drive the understanding and use of Big Data in the payments industry on a global scale.
Immediate action, however, must be taken to achieve this goal. Across Asia, banks and payments providers will now need to start developing an actionable and achievable plan for turning their Big Data into big value through an effective BI strategy. This, in turn, creates a number of tactical projects that break the Big Data problem into bite size chunks. And while the journey to a BI 'end state' may involve a number of tactical solutions, the alternative is to risk drowning in the data deluge that is surely coming.
What to expect at Sibos
Attendees at this year's Sibos event in Japan will find that Big Data looms large on the agenda of all major banks and payments providers. Participants from Asia would be well served by not only attending sessions related to BI, but also by networking with their peers from other regions and BI service providers to clearly ascertain the opportunities and challenges posed by data analytics within the payments industry.

How to Find Your Happiness
If you ever wish you could find you happy place, or try to be joyful all the time, you found the place!
This article would benefit from step-by-step photos.
You can help wikiHow by adding photos to this article. Click here for instructions. Notice added on 2015-08-19.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Try writing down your negative thoughts. Maybe you want to write it in a diary, a notebook,or on the computer. Wherever you want to write it, you will put all those thoughts on paper (or a document) and all that's left inside of you is happy thoughts!!
2Do what you love to do. Try doodling, writing, or playing a board game. Whatever floats your boat will be sure to make you forget about your anger or sadness and let you concentrate on what you're doing. When you're done, you might think stressing over what you've been mad about was a total waste of time!
3Talk. You can vent to another person, a video camera, or your pet. Sometimes it's better to talk it out than write it down.
4Try to avoid trouble in the first place. If you think you're going to burst when you're talking to your friend, or you're going to start sobbing in class, try to avoid those feelings. Start thinking about something else, go to the restroom to cool off, or just walk away.
5Smile! When you think you're going to scream, smile instead! It tells your brain that you're happy, even though you might not be.
6Make your own decisions. Making decisions helps you feel confident and in control.
7Make a difference in the world. Taking actions for what you believe in gives you something to feel good about. Look into local organizations or charities and spread the word of why you believe in helping.
8Try new things. Having new experiences releases chemicals in your brain that increase happiness. Start a wish or bucket list and see how much things you succeed in doing.

I'm not sure how well he'll help GB prepare for Kaepernick, but after facing a dominant RB at the peak of his powers trying to run for unprecedented yardage, facing ol' Frank Gore, tough runner has to seem a lot easier.Hide replies
I agree, pastor, the Packers had a clinic on tackling the last two games - the timing couldn't be an better - if they had such a clinic the last two weeks going into the Giants game last year (and no bye week) they would have easily handled the Giants.
Why must the Packers say such silly things like facing Joe Webb will help the Packers when they face Kaepernick next week in San Francisco? Joe Webb didn't throw a single pass and only appeared in 3 plays all season for the Vikings. Colin Kaepernick has played in multiple games this season for the Niners and it seems laughable to see the arrogance of the Packers. Maybe McCarthy is right but it is funny to compare Joe Webb and Coling Kaepernick.Hide replies
Ya just gotta read the end of the sentence along with the first part.
bama is right.
and if you understand anything at all, you should understand McCarthy was refering to Webb's mobility being somewhat similiar to Kaepernick's.
The 49ers have many weapons unlike the Vikings. Kaepernick has proven his worth as a pro QB so McCarthy is dead wrong. I know he coached a Super Bowl team 2 years ago, but whe I hear comments like this or when they were a mediocore team in 2006 the "we had a good practice" I question his ability to caoch. I also question soe of the play calling he's done in the past i.e. pass only offense. We don't need running backs we have AR! Everyone knows a balanced offense with smart and aggressive play calling along with a smart and aggressive defense wins games and championships. Something tells me that the Pack could have won the SB 2 years ago with Dennis Green as coach.
I'm also very angry the way Donald Driver has been treated at the end of his career as a Packer. What is with McCarthy and Thompson? They repeatedly show no class with their veteran players, (i.e. Favre, Barnett, Grant, etc.). I just don't have much respect for that. Donald Driver should have been activated and play his last game at Lambeau. He's a class act, much classier than Ray Lewis and look how he retired. One last thing: as long as McCarthy & Thompson remain in Green Bay, you will never see Favre's number retired.Hide replies
Be happy! Don't be angry. Life goes on in spite of you. I understand they'll activate Ahman Green just for you.
god-Life (and football) is not a government job, and sometimes tough decisions have to be made. Just like when your employer has to raise your insurance contribution (except if you are a state or federal employee), they are doing it for the survival of the business and your job. Thats what sucessful NFL GM's and Coaches have to do. Its not based on emotion. Just becasue you have DD's jersey doesn't mean his his day hasn't passed. They make decisions for the long term benefit of the team. Do your like your team to be a playoff contender every year or not?
Sorry for the typos on my previous comment.Hide replies
don't worry.
i stopped reading that drivel pretty early in the post.
Really? Favre's number retired? Who cares? He played for the Queens. Sent porno pics to a woman in New York. Got kicked off golf courses in Green Bay cause he wanted to play barefoot. He is no God. Get over it. As for Donald Driver? They could have cut him yet they gave him a fairwell tour/year. DD is the 5th or 6th best receiver on the team. They know it and he knows it. He is fine with it. He had a great career and made a ton of money in the process. Be thankful tor MM and TT.Hide replies
Playing for the Vikings isn't my problem with Favre. He wanted to play and they wanted him. Cheering against the Packers and for the Bears during the Super Bowl run is. He does belong in the Packer Hall of Fame someday, but posthumously. I can't stand the thought of that phony SOB strutting around at a presentation as if he's not a back-stabbing jerk. The Bears? Off with his head!
Schlueter you have no idea how Driver feels about any of it.
and wtf do you care what Favre did in his spare time?
do you want your co-workers to judge you on the idiotic things you did over the weekend?
Give it a few more years; but we gotta' retire Favre's Number.

Friend v. Talcott
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Friend v. Talcott, 228 U.S. 27 (1913)
Friend v. Talcott
No. 155
Argued January 30, 31, 1913
Decided April 7, 1913
Under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, as amended in 1903, a creditor is not bound to elect which remedy he will pursue against the bankrupt on a contract where the right to sue in tort also exists; nor does he waive his right to sue on the tort for balance of his claim by accepting his dividend under a composition. Crawford v. Burke, 195 U. S. 176.
Under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, as amended in 1903, there are certain classes of creditors excluded from the act altogether and others who, although included therein, are excepted from the operation of the discharge. In this respect, the Act of 1898 differs from that of 1841, and follows that of 1867.
To constitute res judicata, there must be identity of cause between the two cases. That identity does not exist between the granting of a general discharge in bankruptcy and an action for the balance of a debt excepted by the act from the operation of the discharge.
A creditor, after unsuccessfully opposing a composition and a discharge in bankruptcy on the ground of fraud in creating the debt, accepted the dividend and then sued for the balance on the ground that the debt was excepted from the discharge. Held that there was no waiver of the right to sue on the tort by accepting the dividend, nor was the granting of the discharge res judicata of the claim for the balance of the debt.
179 F. 676 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the right of a claimant who has accepted a dividend under a composition to recover against the bankrupt after the discharge on the ground of deceit prior to the bankruptcy, are stated in the opinion.
