Admonitions to a Disappointed Young-Earther
This article was also published at SBC Voices
by Ken Hamrick
Recently, I came across a paper in the Journal for Baptist Theology & Ministry, written by Dr. Kenneth Keathley in 2013, entitled, "Confessions of a Disappointed Young-Earther."[1] The piece is well done and gives an informative summary of the various arguments and supposed problems of the Young-Earth Creationism movement. After reading it, I must say that I'm just as disappointed as Dr. Keathley, but for different reasons. I'm disappointed that the enemy, who is delegitimizing the truth-claims of Christianity by undermining the authority of Scripture, is often met with so little resistance and so much well-meant, reasonable-sounding cooperation. I'm disappointed that not even the best among us are immune from a skeptical evidentialism. And I'm disappointed that one so capable of competent reason would falter in thinking that evidence has bearing on the question of a recent miraculous creation.
I'm no scientist, and I do not claim to be able to present all the scientific intricacies of the various arguments. To be fair, there do seem to be some valid points brought against Young-Earth "creation science" and even a few points in support of it. Nevertheless, I do not argue for a "young" earth, but for an old earth recently created—what Dr. Keathley presents as Philip Henry Gosse's "Omphalos argument" or the mature earth view. The Bible clearly and explicitly reveals a recent creation by divine fiat. Miracles being what they are, we should not expect to find proof in physical evidences for this recent miraculous act. But, neither should we expect the secular scientific view to be free from error, overconfidence, and overreaching. Ultimately, though, the scientific argument is irrelevant to the vital question at hand—and that fact is sadly missed by Young-Earthers and Old-Earthers alike. Continue reading
Justin Taylor's Doubts About 24-Hour Days of Creation – In Retrospect
by Jim Pemberton
A couple of weeks ago Justin Taylor posted an article entitled "Biblical Reasons to Doubt the Creation Days Were 24-Hour Periods". Since that time, many have posted articles refuting Justin's arguments. In this article I will post links to some of the ones I know about and make a couple of observations myself.
First, let me start off by saying that in general I respect Justin. He's a well-reasoned man of good character and genuinely strives for biblical accuracy. I just think he missed the mark on this one. Nevertheless, his article seems to have given many of us the incentive to hash this issue out. Continue reading
Shedding Light on the Length of Pre-Sun Creation Days: A Text-Based Approach
by Ken Hamrick
In the ongoing debate over the Genesis creation account, one supposed problem that seems particularly troublesome for many is the question of the length of a day prior to the creation of the sun (on Day 4). Since the sun is the means by which a day is usually measured, then it is objected by Old-Earthers that we are left without any sure understanding of what God might possibly mean by the term, "day," when it is used to describe the first three days of creation. Here's the text:
Genesis 1 ESV
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. Continue reading

Old-Earth Compromisers: Preconceived Skepticism Shrouded in 'Open-Mindedness'
by Ken Hamrick
Old-Earth Creationists, who accept the evidence-based claims that the earth is billions of years old, ought to honestly acknowledge that their view does not rest on natural evidence, but upon their own prior skeptical denial of creation by divine fiat (or, command). It is dishonest to put forth such a view as being based on the evidence. Without first denying that a miraculous creation by fiat might have occurred, they would have no basis for giving weight to any natural evidence. This doesn't mean that they have properly thought this out and realized that they must first deny the plausibility of a miraculous creation by fiat; rather, for most of them, their preconceived skeptical denial remains unrecognized, like a hidden assumption.
To answer the question, How long ago did God create the world?, they immediately look—as a matter of course—to what the scientific evidence 'reveals.' Ostensibly, this supposes to give equal weight to all sources of truth, whether God's revelation in Scripture or God's revelation in the physical world (nature). However, the bias of the scales toward nature becomes evident: whenever the two (the plain reading of Scripture and natural evidence) seem to contradict, they never opt for reinterpreting natural evidence in light of the inerrant Scripture, but always insist on reinterpreting Scripture in light of the inerrant natural evidence (at least where creation is concerned).

A Reply to Bruce Gordon's Biblical Critique of Young-Earth Creati | Answers in Genesis
by Ashby L. Camp on January 28, 2015 […]
This paper is a response to the biblical criticisms recently leveled by Bruce Gordon against young-earth creationism. It explains why his arguments against a young-earth creationist understanding of the Creation Week, the origin and age of mankind, the consequences of the Fall, the extent of Noah's Flood, and the scope of the judgment over the Tower of Babel are unpersuasive. Gordon shows little proficiency in the grammatical-historical approach he rebukes young-earth creationists for not properly employing. He routinely advances dubious and historically anomalous interpretations of Scripture while pronouncing his approach sophisticated and that of young-earth creationists naïve.

Teach the Uncompromised Truth of Genesis in Church | Answers in Genesis
This month, the pastor of one of the largest churches in Northern Kentucky (and close to our Creation Museum) is conducting a teaching series going through Genesis 1–11 for the congregation. This is the same church that will be hosting our annual Mega Conference, June 24–27. I was present at the service when Pastor Corey Abney1 (the lead pastor) introduced the Genesis series to the congregation. I thought his introduction was excellent (watch it at the video link below), and it could be used to challenge pastors, Bible teachers, and others to consider teaching through Genesis 1–11. We live in an age when the authority of God's Word has come under attack, particularly the first book of the Bible. We also need to equip this current generation of young people to defend the Christian faith against the secular attacks of our day.
I encourage you to watch Pastor Abney's short but powerful introduction to his teaching series on Genesis 1–11. I pray many more Christian leaders will be challenged and inspired to stand on God's Word beginning in Genesis. Continue reading →
Was There Animal Death Before the Fall? | SEBTS | Between The Times
The creation account of Gen 1 ends with the declaration, "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good" (Gen 1:31 ESV). The key issue boils down to what is meant by the expression "very good." Old-earth creationists and young-earth creationists agree that this is the issue about which they have the most disagreement. More than the proper interpretation of Gen 1-3, the age of the earth, or even the theory of evolution, this is the question that stands above all others: Did animals die before Adam and Eve fell in the Garden?
The fossil record presents us with a troubling past. It reveals a history of predation, disease, and intrinsic selfishness. The problem of immense suffering in the natural world was not lost on Darwin. Continue reading →
One Man's Compromise Has Lasting Effects | Around the World with Ken Ham
Recently my brother Stephen was able to talk with a professor of church history about a very important aspect of American church history, the Crawford Toy controversy. This controversy, involving liberal teaching from an Old Testament interpretation and languages professor, was one of the first instances of major influence in the church from uniformitarian and Darwinian philosophies. Here is a quick account of Stephen's conversation on this important topic, but be sure to listen to the full Answers Conversation episode (part 1 and part 2). The program is also available for download as a podcast and RSS feed. Continue reading →
Dinosaurs and the Bible | Answers in Genesis
By Ken Ham […]
An aura of mystery surrounds the dinosaurs. Where did they come from? Did they evolve? Did they really live millions of years ago? What happened to them? Are there any living today? Has any human being ever seen a live dinosaur?
Children and adults alike are absolutely fascinated by these mysterious monsters. Numerous books and movies have been produced to satisfy a seemingly insatiable hunger for information on these puzzling creatures. The truth of the matter, however, is that there are no real mysteries at all, once you have key information that is not generally known and is withheld from the public.
Come with me as we take a walk through history and uncover some amazing facts that will answer many of your questions about these "terrible lizards."
Did Dinosaurs Really Exist?
Dinosaurs certainly did roam the Earth in the ancient past! Fossils of dinosaurs have been found all over the world, and their bones are displayed in museums for all to see. Scientists have been able to reconstruct many of their skeletons, so we know much about how they may have looked. Continue reading →
Pardon Me, Your Presuppositions Are Showing | Answers in Genesis
by Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell on January 3, 2015
News to Know covered many topics in 2014, but, really, there's nothing new under the sun when it comes to countering evolutionist claims.
Every week News to Know features articles about science in the news. Our analyses help readers distinguish between fascinating scientific discoveries and unverifiable evolutionary assumptions, between discoveries that truly enhance our understanding of the world and worldview-based conclusions that perpetuate an imaginative view of the past.
We would like to wrap up 2014 with a practical lesson about how to distinguish observable science from evolutionary presumptions in the popular press. To that end, we'll start by examining a paragraph from a recent item in the Wall Street Journal, Nicholas Wade's book review of Bill Nye's book Undeniable entitled "Bill Nye the Darwin Guy": Continue reading →
Discovering or Destroying the "Recipe for Belief in Creationism"? | Answers in Genesis
by Dr. Terry Mortenson on December 22, 2014
Recently, Dr. Jonathan Hill, professor of sociology at Calvin College, published on the BioLogos website the results of his national survey of 3,000 American adults to study the beliefs of Americans on issues related to human origins. The summary of his research is entitled "The Recipe for Creationism."1 His research was done to see if previous surveys done by Gallup and others over the past few decades were giving us an accurate picture of what Americans believe.
Those other studies, the most recent published by Gallup in June 2014, have indicated consistently over the past 30 years that
- about 45% of Americans believe that "God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so,"
- about 35% believe that "human beings have evolved over millions of years from other forms of life and God guided this process,"
- about 20% believe that "human beings have evolved over millions of years from other forms of life but God had no part in this process."2
Those statistics are challenged by Hill's new research.
Let me say at the outset of my analysis that Dr. Hill and the other people associated with BioLogos are undoubtedly kind and sincere Christians. Continue reading →
Creation Museum Mocked on Saturday Night Live | Around the World with Ken Ham
Someone on Facebook informed us early this morning that our Creation Museum was mocked last night on NBC TV's popular Saturday Night Live program. I never watch this broadcast, but we went online and found the segment. On a mock news set, two people in matching Christmas sweaters were interviewed by the mock newscaster about their Hanukkah songs. At one stage, they say the following to the "newsman":
We came all the way from the Creation Museum—Moses had a dinosaur, did you know that? . . . Did you know that?
Here is the link to the mocking segment, appearing at about 3:25. It's not really worth watching—the entire skit was not that funny and you have to watch a commercial before you see it, but you can watch it here. Continue reading →
The Ark Is Happening! | Around the World with Ken Ham
I wanted to share a very exciting nine-minute video with you that offers an update of what is happening with the construction of our life-size Noah's Ark (south of Cincinnati).
After my wife and I returned from our visit with family in Australia, I interviewed one of the project managers for the Ark and our VP of attractions. Even though I have been intimately involved with this project, I gained some fascinating insights into what has gone into the planning of the engineering and architectural work. I was also amazed to see how much work has been done since I toured the site the last time and as we get ready for the timber construction of the Ark itself (to occur in the first half of next year).

Lexington Herald-Leader Versus God! | Around the World with Ken Ham
The Lexington Herald-Leader is one of the major Kentucky newspapers. For years, it has spread untruths and misleading information about Answers in Genesis and our life-size Noah's Ark project. (The Ark will be built north of the paper's offices in Lexington.)
I suggest that the editors of the Herald-Leader have an anti-Christian agenda. It has resulted in inaccuracies in its stories and editorials concerning the Ark project. The paper constantly denigrates the Christian ministry of AiG and regularly attacks the Ark project in order to undermine it to the general public. Their intolerance of anything Christian is so obvious that some Lexington residents have said to me, "we call it the Lexington Herald-Misleader." Continue reading →
Is Denying Evolution Just an American Thing? | Around the World with Ken Ham
In an interview with NewsMax, Bill Nye "The Science Guy" claimed that denying evolution is something that is unique to the United States and that the controversy is not a "problem anywhere else." Now, he said this probably because America has access to more apologetics resources to support the biblical creation position than any other place in the world. Also, Answers in Genesis and our Creation Museum, the largest apologetics ministry in the world, are based out of the US. Due to the availability of resources, Americans are generally the best informed about apologetics issues, so we would expect more people to understand the issues correctly, thus it's no surprise that Nye is saying this. But is evolution and an old earth really just being challenged in America? Not at all! If Nye was thinking of the Answers in Genesis ministry when he said this, I wonder if he realizes that I actually began the ministry in Australia (my homeland). And now AiG and many other creation ministries are working to get out creation resources all around the world. Continue reading →
It's a Battle Between Worldviews! | Around the World with Ken Ham
A study conducted by a group of University of Alabama researchers has been making its way around the Internet, so I wanted to comment on it. This study highlights that the creation/evolution controversy is really a worldview-based battle.
This study was an attempt to discover the role of religious belief in the acceptance of evolution. According to the study's results, religious persons are far less likely than those who claim to be non-religious to accept evolution, regardless of how much evolutionary education they have. One of the coauthors of the study commented, "Religion is much more important than all the other measured educational variables, combined, in influencing their views on evolution." Religion has such an impact on belief in evolution that, after exposure to evolution in college classes, "The only group of students who improved in their acceptance of evolution was the group of students who were the least religious."

State Officials Won't Sink Ark Encounter | Answers in Genesis
State officials announce unlawful basis for denial of tax rebates
on December 11, 2014
This is the news release that was sent to the national media and has been slightly adapted for the web.
Bowing to pressure by secularist groups outside the state, Kentucky officials announced late Wednesday a decision to deny the Ark Encounter theme park an opportunity to participate in a popular tax rebate incentive program offered by the state's tourism office.
By letter on Dec. 10, state officials told the theme park's developer, Answers in Genesis (AiG), that the only way AiG could participate in the rebate program is if AiG would agree to two conditions: 1) waive its right to include a religious preference in hiring, and 2) affirm that it will tolerate no "proselytizing" at the theme park.
AiG has countered that the state's new conditions are unlawful because it is well-established under both federal law (Title VII) and state law (KRS § 344.090) that religious organizations and entities like AiG are specifically permitted to utilize a religious preference in their hiring.

When and How Did the Grand Canyon Form? | Answers in Genesis
by Dr. Andrew Snelling and Tom Vail […]
The Grand Canyon is one of the world's most awesome erosional features. It is 277 miles (446 km) long, including the 60 miles (96 km) of Marble Canyon upstream. The depth of the main segment of the Grand Canyon varies between 3,000 and 6,000 feet (900 and 1,800 m), with the rim-to-rim width between 4 and 18 miles (6 and 29 km). Its origin has plagued geologists since the time of John Wesley Powell's first courageous voyage down the Colorado River in 1869. Despite an increase in knowledge about its geology, evolutionary geologists have yet been unable to explain the canyon.1
Into What Was the Grand Canyon Carved?
Before discussing when and how the Grand Canyon was formed, it is first important to understand where and through what geologic feature it was carved. Continue reading →

Post Mortem
There was only one thing that could have killed off Colette's will to live, and that was having her most dearly beloved snatched away from her. Count Waltmuller knew this well—he hadn't known Colette since childhood for nothing.
Count Waltmuller could still remember the day that he had met young Miss Preminger. He must have been seven or so; Colette had not been that much younger than he. They had been set to play together by their parents, who had hoped for an alliance between their houses. In their young days, they had played together. Both had been well-behaved children, and they had obediently sat in the room designated to them with their nannies, playing word games, puzzles, dolls, or whatever they felt like while their parents attended parties, charity events, and other social gatherings. As they had grown, both grew increasingly aware of their parents' expectations of them.
That was where their paths began to part, though Count Waltmuller didn't realize at the time.
As his parents encouraged him to see Colette in a romantic light, he found himself doing so. When he escorted Colette to her debut ball, he found himself entranced by her: by the roundness of her bosom, the smallness of her waist, the gentle swell of her hips implied beneath her dress...
He himself was shocked by these thoughts, and could not even find it in himself to ask his friend to dance for a time. He watched her, dancing with man after man as though there could be nothing more enjoyable in the world. She looked at each partner in turn as if he was the center of her world, and how he wished he could be one of them!
It was in his hesitation that he lost sight of Colette. He had seen her step out onto the balcony, but by the time he had worked up the nerve to follow her and ask for a dance, she was nowhere to be found. He was puzzled, but figured that she had simply taken a stroll. She would soon be back. He would be the first to ask her to dance when she returned.
Sure enough, Colette returned before long, but she was practically a different person. She accepted his invitation to dance, but didn't seem to even notice that it was him. Her eyes were glazed over and her face was flushed.
The next time he saw her, she was carrying around a music box like it was the greatest treasure in the world, and though she was never straightforward about it, he got the impression that she had fallen for someone at the ball.
Shortly after this, she received her first official marriage proposal. Having had the fortune to be there when it happened, he saw first-hand how she refused the offer without a care for the person's name or family. His own proposal plans would have to wait, he decided.
The years went by, and Colette talked first more and more, than less and less of this mystery man.
And then came the day that she stopped talking about him altogether, but the sparkle in her eye and color in her cheeks revealed that she had not simply gotten over the first man. He speculated that she had found another. She was clearly in love, but why the secrecy? Had she fallen for one of the suitors whom she had rejected, and was simply too embarrassed to say so? He had no way of knowing, and was too afraid to ask.
Mere months later, he learned from his mother that she had eloped—and with her piano teacher, of all people—and knew that there had never been a second man. It had been the first one all along. He let no one know of the pain this knowledge put him through, and bore it on his own. If anyone noticed the circles beneath his eyes and the way his clothing hung more loosely on him than usual that first month, no one mentioned it.
Then life took over. There were parties to attend, people to appease, money and estates to manage... When his father died and left him all the estates, property, and titles, he was not sorrowed so much by the loss of a parent—raised by a nanny, he had scarcely known the man—as he was by the grieving of his mother. Couples in love was quite rare in noble society, he realized anew as he watched his mother grieve. But then, he wondered, had she fallen in love with his father before or after they married?
Two years later, she returned. His gossiping mother delivered him the news, and at once he felt hope well up within him. He didn't even wait to hear why Colette had returned, because it didn't matter. She was back.
He went to the Preminger Manor the first chance he got—and was told that she was not well. No doubt common life had not agreed with her, he heard the maids gossiping, and figured that that must be the case. He spent the rest of the day in a daze, thinking only of his reunion with Colette.
The next day, he was told that she was not yet awake, but it was already the seventh hour, and Colette had always risen with the sun. It was on that day that he finally opened his ears to his mother's gossip and received a better picture of the truth.
Colette had eloped with her piano teacher when her father had refused to allow marriage between her and a mere common pianist. They had gone to downtown Paris, and there they had been found to be living in a rundown apartment downtown ("The nerve of him!" exclaimed his mother, "a daughter of the Premingers in an apartment! And they say she worked as a seamstress for some lowly commoners, can you believe that darling? Lowly commoners, who don't even have titles!" "Yes, of course, Mother," he sighed). There the Duke Preminger had found his daughter, and convinced her to come back—and she had done so quite obediently.
Count Waltmuller felt some small amount of hope grow in his heart. Maybe, if she had tired of the pianist, or he had mistreated her...
But he quickly reprehended himself for such thoughts. Colette would not give away her heart so lightly; nor would she choose a man who would treat her in any manner that was less than what she deserved. Yet he could not help hoping that her husband had finally sent her back home—for her own good, of course.
He visited the Preminger Manor again the next day, and was told that she was out.
It was a full month of daily visits before he saw Colette. He grew increasingly worried, and when he was told that she would see him that day, he could not help the speeding up of his heart.
But the Colette that met his eyes was not the one that he had known and come to expect.
His heart dropped into his stomach at the sight of her. Her eyes were dull and did not hold the slightest light at all; her hair seemed dry and dead; her face was pale and bloodless; her back was straight only by sheer will and practice, and she looked like she just wanted to droop over and wilt.
She smiled and exchanged pleasantries with him like a dead woman.
He could not think what to speak of.
"I...I'm sorry," he said, though he didn't really know what he was sorry for. "You seem to have been through a rough time."
Colette looked up at him, and something seemed to snap inside her. "Did they tell you that they died?" Her voice was soft in the worst way. "Or are they trying to hide that? Are they telling you that Raymond and I were properly married? That we lived well, and that we were happy? Did they tell you that we lived a fairy tale until Raymond was killed in a train crash? Did they tell you that the only reason our daughter died was because I was too ignorant and weak to care for alone, without Raymond beside me?"
Colette stopped, swayed, and almost fell to the floor; the Count stepped forward to catch her without missing a beat. "I'm sorry, Colette," he whispered, though he knew she was dead to the world as the two maids rushed over to her to take their mistress from his arms, murmuring frantic apologies that the Count did not hear. The words of apology that he had uttered were entirely inadequate to describe how he felt just then. He wished that he had been more understanding—that he had not wished the things he had wished.
The Count left for the day, and returned the next; but again Colette had fallen ill and taken to bed.
It was a week before he saw her again, and this time he was careful to avoid the subject of her lost life. Instead, he spoke of their friends, the economy, politics, the latest music, the most popular estates...
Colette sat in silence and listened, and he left after a full hour of talking. That night, he berated himself for speaking far too much. But the next day, Colette received him upon his visit to the Preminger Manor. So the days went by, and he spoke steadily to Colette—of the world, of the trivial little things that he had seen, felt, thought, and liked in his everyday life...
And in turn, to his surprise, Colette began to regain the color in her face and the sparkle in her eyes. Her smile grew more sincere, and by the time a year had passed, she was almost her old self. Count Waltmuller, too, felt far more confident in her presence than he ever had, and he proposed to her on her daughter's second birthday.
Colette accepted. Count Waltmuller didn't think he would ever be happier, and he swore to love and protect her till death parted them and she found her way back to they who held her heart.

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - April 29, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Weather- Partly cloudy tonight with lows in the upper 40s. Sunny Tuesday with highs in the mid 70s. bf CITY FINAL IO CENTS VOLUME 92 - NUMBER HO CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1974 ASSOCIATED PRESS, UPI, NEW YORK TIMES Witnesses' Credibility Key To Mifchell-Stans Acquitta Gazette Leased Wires NEW YORK— A jury that started out "screaming and yelling across the table'' has acquitted former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell and one-time Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans of all charges in their criminal conspiracy case. • The nine men and three wom- (Photo on Picture Page) en came to unanimous agreement Sunday afternoon after 26 hours of deliberation that the former cabinet colleagues were innocent of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. Mitchell and Stans were accused of trying to block a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of financier Robert Vesco, in return for Vesco's secret $200,000 cash contribution to President Nixon's re-election campaign. Referring to Vesco and his aides, Juror Clarence Brown said after the verdict: "They wanted to get something, but I don't think that Stans and Mitchell ever fell for it." Split on Conspiracy The jury's forewoman, Sybil Kucharski, said, "We were off in little groups screaming and yelling across the table" when the deliberations began. She said the jury was evenly split on the conspiracy count, so it turned to the six separate perjury counts against Mitchell and Stans. "After looking through all Ihe Big Air Baffle Swirls Above Go IonHeighfs By Associated Press Israeli and Syrian jets battled above Mt. Hermon Monday in what the Tel Aviv command described as the biggest air battle since the October war. Israel said its planes shot down four Syrian MIG-21s and the Syrians reported destroying six Israeli planes, five in dogfights and one with a Soviet-built missile. The dogfights developed after Israeli and Syrian jets bombed and strafed the crest of the strategic 9.200-foot-high mountain. Israeli sources reported a Syrian troop buildup opposite the Israeli lines on the northern front but dismissed it as a psychological move to coincide with Secretary of State Kissinger's peace mission. s An Israeli military communique said Syria sent MIG-17s against Israeli positions on Mt Hermon while MIG-21 s provided air cover. It said the Israelis downed four MlG-21s in an air battle without Israeli loss. Syria said its troops overran an Israeli position on the mount and sent the Israelis fleeing. Damascus claimed an Israeli F-4 Phantom jet was shot down by ground fire. Israel deni(>d any air losses. Military sources said it was the most Syrian planes downed in a single day on the northern front since the October war. The 49th consecutive day of fighting on the front started in the predawn hours when Syrian gunners opened up on Israeli Zebra Now Tied To BO Shootings SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -The Zebra gunmen wanted in 12 killings here also may be responsible for 80 murders and assaults in California in the last three years, Mayor Joseph Alio-to said Monday. Alioto told a news conference that the string of random shootings began in the east San Francisco bay area in 1971 and spread to the Long Beach arca in southern California in 1971 and 1972. "There have been 80 murders with a similar M. O. (method of operation) — the random killing of whites," he said. "The murderers are a group of persons rather than one person," Alioto said. He said he did not know the size of the group, j Alioto refused to answer newsmen's questions on his source of information about the 80 attacks. Alioto also indicated authori-; ties have information which will I lessen public fear prompted by I the shooting spree, but he did I not say what that information1 was. "The people ought to feel safer based on what we know at the present time. Future announcements about the investigation will be made by Chief Donald Scott,'' the mayor said. Scott's office said he had no immediate plans to discuss the' Zebra case with newsmen. positions on the mountain and in the enclave Israel captured from Syria in the war. At midmorning, Israeli planes flew' their first air strikes of the day against Syrian positions on the mountain. Press reports in Beirut said the Syrians have beefed up troop strength on the Golan Heights to 13,000 men for an assault on the strategic mountain overlooking Israel, Syria and Lebanon. A military source in Tel Aviv said, "They have enough forces now if they want to do something, but it all could be a psychological move because of Kissinger. What they're saying is. 'We could use force if we don't get what we want'." perjury charges, the rest was easy," Miss Kucharski said. "We figured there couldn't be any conspiracy if there was no perjury'." The government lost its case, Miss Kucharski said, "because we looked at the evidence—there were doubts in our minds. We cannot convict them on our feelings but on the case before us: this is the case; these are facts—not unsubstantiated evidence." Credibility Miss Kucharski said the credibility of key government witnesses Harry Sears, a New Jersey Republican fund - raiser; John Dean, former White House counsel, and G. Bradford Cook, former general counsel to the SEC. weighed heavily with the jurors. "We started talking about the credibility of the witneses and w'hy they were talking, ' she said. "We had a reasonable! ;doubt because of these witness-! es and because we didn't feel the evidence was substantiated." Asked about Dean's testimony which he gave after he was granted immunity for prosecution, she replied: "Not only Mr. I Dean but Mr. Cook and Mr. I Sears admitted perjury. We took all of this into consideration. "As for Dean, lie admitted guilt possibly looking for favor." Smile, but . . . The verdict brought a smile to the face of the normallv undem- Say He Will Let Rodino HearTapes Gazette Leased Wires WASHINGTON - President Nixon scheduled an appearance on national television at 8 o'clock Iowa time Monday night for a fresh report to the people on Watergate and the congressional impeachment inquiry. As part of the speech, the President will announce a proposal for verification of transcripts of subpoenaed Watergate tapes to be turned over to the house judiciary committee, White House officials said Monday. Actual Recordings The officials said Nixon would permit the committee chairman, Rep. Rodino (D-N. J.) and the ranking Republican member, Rep. Hutchinson of Michigan to listen to the actual tape recordings. The officials said Nixon also intends to make public the partial transcripts of the Watergate-related taped conversations subpoenaed in the house impeachment inquiry. The CBS, NBC, AND ABC networks said they would carry Nixon's address live on radio and television.

"I hope we can keep this issue (impeachment) out of politics. I hope he doesn't start playing for public sympathy." One judiciary committee Ten people were treated at GENEV A (UPI) — Secretary of State Kissinger said Monday after seven hours of talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko that he expects Soviet cooperation in his efforts to arrange a troop disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria. "Highest Level" "I have no doubt that it will also be handled at the highest level," Kissinger said after seeing Gromyko off after their meeting in Kissinger's hotel. "I am sure I speak for the foreign minister also when I say it will be handled this week." It was not clear what Kissinger meant when he said the Middle East issue would be "handled." Western officials said they doubt it meant that the issue would be settled because by referring to the problem being "handled" at the highest level, Kissinger was re-, ferring to President Nixon's trip to Moscow in June. "I expect we will have Soviet cooperation," as well as that of other interested nations, Kissinger said about his efforts to arrange the troop disengagement agreement. Talking in Kissinger's hotel suite, they also reviewed prospects for a treaty limiting missiles with independently targeted nuclear warheads. Fifth Mission Kissinger and Gromyko met for nearly two hours Sunday night immediately after Kiss-1 inger arrived from Washington en route to the Middle East for his fifth peace mission there. Senior American officials said Kissinger understood the Kremlin's political need for a "visible position of influence" in the drive toward a settlement of (Continued: Page 3, Col. 4.)

Col. 6.) Power Bills Up Least in Midwest Report Exxon Exec Freed by Guerillas By Associated Press Residents of the Mid-Atlantic states and New England have been hardest hit by rising electricity rates, an Associated Press survey shows. Consumers in the Midwest were least affected. The AP asked public service commissions and utilities in the 50 states for the average monthly electric bill, now and in 1973, paid by a consumer who uses the standard appliances, but does not heat his home with electricity. Public or company officials in 39 states provided specific figures that could be used for comparisons. Spokesmen in the remaining states said they could not provide the figures asked or offered incomplete information. The survey found the Mid-Atlantic states — where utilities rely heavily on imported crude oil to fuel their generators — experienced the sharpest rise. The average electric bill in the five-state region went from $20.19 in the early months of 1973 to $24.84 this year — an increase of 23 percent. Residents of the six New England states paid an average of 17 percent more each month this year than they did in 1973. The average bill in the AP survey was $17.24 in 1973 and $20.19 in 1974. Consumers in the Midwest seem to be faring best. Their average bill has risen only 3 percent in the past year, from $14.33 to $14 81. The AP survey showed residents of the Southwest are paying 14 percent more than a year ago. those in the West and Northwest are paying 6 percent more and those in the South are paying 8 percent more. Conclusions The statistics provided were not uniform. People in different states used different amounts of electricity. Some officials took an average number of kilowatts — 500 for example — and figured out what the bill would be for that amount of electricity in 1973 and 1974. Other utilities provided specific consumption figures — 528 kilowatts in 1973, for example, vs. 516 in 1974 — and exact bills for each amount. Because of the diverse types of information provided by the utilities, it was difficult to make comparisons. But despite the differences, several conclusions can be drawn: Fuel adjustment charges rather than general rate hikes are to blame for most of the opinions jailers.

What exactly has Obama done?Governor Christie has nothing but praise for how Obama has handled this disaster:
And, who could blame him? It has been a flawless response. It restores my faith in government after that miserable failure by George Bush during Katrina.
When Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast, the Governor of Louisiana never called the president for help....The president of the United States cannot send in federal agencies to Louisiana or any other state without a governor requesting it....that's not me talking...that's the law. When the gov of Louisiana, a democrat finally did seek federal help, the president acted.
As of this very second I have not seen one single thing Obama has done concerning Hurricane Sandy (Category 1, sissy hurricane I might add)..as of right now, Obama has done nothing...just like the BP oil spill....nothing.
Just like Syria....nothing
Just like Iran...nothing
Just like N.Korea...nothing

I am looking for alternatives to chemical control of iris borers here in the Midwest.
I grow an acre of tall bearded and also some Siberians. I found a lot of borer cocoons buried beneath a row of Siberians that I was moving this fall. I know borers can?t hurt the tiny rootlets of the Siberian but maybe they could be lures for overwintering?
I also heard about some nematodes that offer promise but don?t know where to find a supplier.
If any Irsarians know I would be appreciative.

A group of rich countries including Britain had agreed in 2001 to pay around 600million pounds to help developing countries predict and plan the effects of global warming, as well as fund flood defences, conservation and many such projects.
However, only 90 million pounds of the promised money has been delivered.
The disclosure came after British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said industrialised countries must do more to help the developing world adapt to a changed climate.
Under the terms of the climate adaptation agreement, made at a UN meeting in Bonn in 2001, the EU, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and New Zealand had said they would jointly pay developing countries to compensate for the severe effects over the coming decades of global warming, which was largely caused by carbon emissions from the developed world, The Guardian reported.
The vast majority of the promised money was expected to be channelled through funds run by an organisation called the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in Washington DC, which was to distribute it through programmes run by the World Bank and United Nations.
Saleem Huq, head of the climate change group at the International Institute for Environment and Development, the impact of climate change on poor countries, and the responsibilities of rich countries to help them, gets much less attention.
Climate change was already having a devastating impact on poor communities around the world. A recent report from Christian Charity revealed that rural people from Bolivia and Bangladesh to Mali and Tajikistan were being affected. In many countries, they were struggling with droughts, floods and hurricanes even before climate change had started to bite.

SolOPT: PV and Solar Hot Water Hourly Simulation Software Tool
National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Contact NREL About This Technology
Using SolOPT (835 KB)
In order to increase the speed and scale of Renewable Energy (RE) solar project deployment on buildings, energy savings analysis and a strong business case is required. This software provides an hourly simulation to optimize rooftop area for combined solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar hot water (SHW) systems or solely PV. The program calculates energy savings, demand reduction, cost savings, C02 reduction, and building life cycle costs including: simple payback, discounted payback, net-present value, and savings to investment ratio. In addition, this tool displays the environmental benefits of a project. With this software a detailed solar energy hourly simulation and financial analysis can be conducted in a couple of minutes.Description
There are two versions of the software. One is for PV only, the other includes SHW and PV.
PV only
This software requires inputs of general building characteristics and usage information to calculate the energy and cost benefits of PV. The software conducts complex hourly simulations of solar PV based primarily on the area available on the rooftop. It includes a detailed rate structure to account for time-of-use rates, on-peak and off-peak pricing, and multiple rate seasons. Calculations include energy savings, demand reduction, cost savings, incentives and building life cycle costs including: simple payback, discounted payback, net-present value, and savings to investment ratio and environmental benefit.
PV and SHW
This software requires inputs of simple hot water systems inventory information and general building usage information to calculate the energy and cost benefits of PV and SHW systems. The software conducts a complex hourly simulation of solar PV and SHW energy production to optimize rooftop area. Four optimization criteria are offered that will change the sizes of the two solar energy systems: net-present value, discounted payback period, C02 reduction, and total renewable energy production. The software includes the option for advanced system design inputs if they are known and calculates energy savings, demand reduction, and cost savings.
A beta version of the PV and SHW software is currently available here: http://www4.eere.energy.gov/solar/sunshot/resource_center/resources/solopt_optimization_toolBenefits
- Reduced energy costs
- Energy efficiency
- Energy savings analysis

Instituto Clemente Ferreira, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to at all second-line drugs (XDR-TB) has been emerged worldwide and become a threat to tuberculosis control. The aim of this work was to determine the occurrence of XDR-TB, as well as the epidemiological, clinical and bacteriological characteristic of these patients.
From 1994 to 2008, about 700 patients were considered MDR-TB. This report includes those isolates whose cultures were tested for susceptibility to second-line drugs, after what they could be considered as XDR-TB. It was evaluated: epidemiological, clinical and bacteriological patient characteristics, treatment outcomes, variation of susceptibility profiles of patient between different samples, and primary or secondary characteristic of resistance.
To access the XDR-TB problem, second-line testing was analyzed on isolates from MDR-TB patients identified in routine drug-resistant of ours center. Among all patients, 17 (2.4%) had XDR-TB. Primary resistance was identified in three cases. Three patients were HIV-positive and two had diabetes mellitus. In all patients were collected at least two sputum with culture performed ai different moments. In the patient follow up, we identified 5 successfully treated, 11 failed and 6 died. Only one case was cured upon chirurgic intervention. There was no correlation between cures, failed, susceptibility test and treatment regime. Patients received individualized treatment that consisted of amicacin, ofloxacin and at least 3 other drugs. It was observed 68% of resistance for ofloxacin. Patients had a long-term follow-up of 1 to 10 years after MDR-TB diagnostic.
There is an urgent need for more accurate monitoring systems for XDR-TB especially in countries with a high TB burden. It is preoccupant the increased cases of resistance to ofloxacin as it is included in the most MDR-TB therapy. Although, in most of case, XDR-TB has a poor prognostic, patients can be cured, or at least stabilized.
The prevalence of XDR tuberculosis continues to rise, which requires a multifaceted approach to address this epidemic.

Reports from Delhi indicated that Chief Minister Kiran Kumar is going to be sacked within a couple of days. A new CM will be replacing his position, such that the process of bifurcating Telangana will undergo in a smooth way.
More than on three counts, CM Kiran has given counters to the decision made by high command in the recent past. Also he made sure on television interviews that bifurcation is not going to happen as long as he is in post. Looks like, Congress high command that is hell bent on splitting Andhra Pradesh into two pieces has understood the intensity of Seemandhra protests and finally decided that bifurcation will be possible only if someone controls the protests. For the same reason, high command is moving pawns to sack Kiran and replace him with another Seemandhra person who will support Congress high command's bifurcation plan.
For now, the names of PCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana, Ministers Anam Ramnarayan Reddy, Raghuveera Reddy and Kanna Lakshmi Narayana are being heard. Will these ministers dare to accept the post at this crisis time and become permanent traitor in the eyes of Seemandhra people?

The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is currently soliciting public comments regarding the regulations covering the import of plants as nursery stock. As they note, right now anything that has the proper paperwork and is found to be pest-free gets in. Apparently APHIS is willing to consider making these regulations stricter, and even mentions creating a black list of species that will be banned until they can be properly assessed. Considering the current political climate, which seems to be very pro-business, this move by the USDA is very surprising to me. Anyone wishing to comment needs to do so by March 10, 2005.
