Creative reins in driver-creating fan
Phil O'Shaughnessy, Creative's vice president of corporate communications, has issued a statement on the company's forums telling a community member to stop the unlicensed use of its technology.
The user in question had initially helped out fellow community members by making Vista drivers which are as of yet unavailable from Creative itself. However, the firm decided to draw a line under the matter when the drivers make its cards work on unsupported hardware.
"In principle we don't have a problem with you helping users in this way, so long as they understand that any driver packages you supply are not supported by Creative," said O'Shaughnessy. "Where we do have a problem is when technology and IP owned by Creative or other companies that Creative has licensed from, are made to run on other products for which they are not intended."
As a consequence, all threads on this matter, including download links to the Vista driver packages, have been deleted.
Full statement after the link.

And what really occasional football player from across the room and he'll let him -- does it doesn't seem like that guy living with -- -- from.
We will get the -- what a great deal isn't really -- right as those good so I actually happened is that the -- development millennia from my cement references here.

Crystal Palace legends Eddie McGoldrick and Kenny Sansom, don the famous red and blue shirts for charity game
1:03pm Wednesday 2nd October 2013 in Crystal Palace FC By Andrew Bloss, Reporter
Crystal Palace legends past and present took part in a charity game to raise money for the Geoff Thomas Foundation on Sunday.
More than £1,500 was raised for charity as a group of Eagles legends took on a team from the White Horse Pub in Selhurst.
The event was organised by the pub's landlord Danny Foley, with former Palace winger Eddie McGoldrick putting together the legends team.
The match ended 5-5 between the two sides at the astro turf pitch at Dagnall Park on Sunday. The White Horse were 5-1 down at half time but an inspirational team talk from Mr Foley saw his side score four goals in the second half.
Legends who took part in the match included ex-manager Steve Coppell, Neil Shipperley, Kenny Sansom, Steve Kember and Richard Shaw among others.
After the game, fans went to the White Horse Pub and got the opportunity to speak to some of their legends.
Danny Foley, speaking after the event, said: "It was an absolutely top day. Steve Coppell was fantastic, he was so funny on the touchline.
"He was brilliant, he telling Stevie Kember to use his pace and things like that. It was great.
"The whole things was great and getting the players back to the pub after was brilliant. We raised a good amount of money for the Geoff Thomas Foundation as well which was fantastic."
Crystal Palace co-chairman Stephen Browett, whose son Ben featured for the legends team, said it was a fantastic occasion.
He said: "It was a real privilege to watch, and meet, some of the Palace heroes of my youth – Coppell, Sansom, Kember – on Sunday as well as those from slightly more recent times – Shaw, Shipperley, McGoldrick.
"I was particularly proud because I managed to persuade Eddie to let my 20 year old son Ben make up the numbers.
"Seeing your own son receive a pass from Steve Kember and then lay it off to Neil Shipperley is like a dream come true for any Palace-supporting Dad.
"It doesn't get any better than that. It was a great day out for me and I'm delighted that it raised £1500 for Geoff Thomas's charity. I'd like to thank Danny Foley and his regulars at the White Horse for all their hard work in making this happen."

Creativity for Kids is a company with a mission aimed at enriching the lives of children everywhere with fun and constructive experiences that stimulate and encourage their natural creativity. In addition, the company is dedicated to assuring that all products are safe.
What better way to get your kids excited for Halloween than building a great haunted house as a family! The Craft with Clay Haunted House is a great Halloween decoration that is embossed and comes ready to decorated with paint and air-dry clay. Just like other fabulous Creativity for Kids kits, everything you need is included to make this 7"w x 7"h x 4"d house. To add to the fun, Halloween goodies and candies can actually be stored in the house, something my son was extremely excited about.
The kit, designed for ages 5+, includes:
- sturdy cardboard house
- spooky paint colors
- clay
- tools necessary to decorate the house
Review: Art is definitely not my son's strongest ability and he does not really enjoy it either so I was pleasantly surprised to see the excitement on his face when the kit arrived in the mail. The possible ways to decorate this house are endless. My son had a good time painting and then making some clay figures. He is not exactly detail oriented so there certainly could have been a lot more done with the clay but he was happy to throw some ghosts on the house and call it a day. I really love how you can store candy on the inside. This is definitely a fun craft and it is certainly a keepsake!
Buy it here: The Craft with Clay Haunted House is available through Creativity for Kids for $21.99.

July 16, 2013 — I was absolutely stunned a couple of weeks ago when I received an email from the California Secretary of State's office announcing a proposed "Bible-based speech initiative" that would exempt "speech based on biblical authority from existing constitutional and statutory restrictions applicable to all other speech, including restrictions against discrimination and hate crimes. Repeals constitutional provision denying protection to acts of religious expression inconsistent with the peace or safety of the state."
What? Whoa. Where to start?
I believe in the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution. I believe in a free and open marketplace of ideas because I also believe in such an environment the good ideas will earn acceptance and the bad ideas will fall away. I believe we especially need to defend the free speech rights of those with whom we disagree. Our freedom to think and act independently depends upon a vital public debate of ideas that arise from differing perspectives and disparate points of view.
But despite the lofty sounding First Amendment guarantee, our freedom of speech is limited. Here are a few examples.
If we libel or slander someone we are subject to civil liabilities. The First Amendment does not protect us from falsely damaging another's reputation.
Likewise obscene speech — words and images — are not protected. Neither is child pornography.
Fighting words — speech designed to incite violence — are also not protected. Neither are those words whose utterance creates "a clear and present danger" to the peace and safety of our communities.
The government may even restrict speech during a time of war that would be permissible during a time of peace. And famously, the First Amendment does not protect one who falsely yells fire in a crowded theatre.
I also believe in the freedom of religion guaranteed in the First Amendment, but I tend to agree with the Founding Fathers that these religious decisions are, to repeat their ideas, a matter of conscience — a person's relationship with God is an individual matter between a man or a woman and his or her creator. The Founding Fathers wisely rejected any religious test to hold public office in our great land, and we are each free to believe and worship or not as our conscience alone dictates.
Now I have some Christian friends who disagree. They believe their religion and their lives are one and the same — absolutely inseparable in any and every way. And they believe their rights to both free speech and religion are infringed because they cannot speak out without restriction of any kind against those who do not live or behave in accordance with their beliefs. America, they say, can be spared God's wrath only if we all conform to their view of God's will. They say they cannot accept or even tolerate the presence of the unholy in their midst.
While I understand and appreciate their position, this initiative seeks to remove all legal restrictions from any speech if only the speaker can cite the Bible as authority — including utterances that would otherwise be considered discrimination or hate crimes and even speech that jeopardizes the peace and public safety. In fact, this initiative seeks to set speech based on biblical authority completely apart in a class of its own beyond the reach of any restriction, restraint or limitation of any kind in any place.
The Westboro Baptist Church's home website, godhatesfags.com, (I kid you not) offers a great many judgments and pronouncements based upon biblical authority. It's already protected, and it's apparently perfectly legal. Just imagine what this church, already infamous for disrupting the funerals of America's warfighters and rejoicing at their deaths, might do and say if all limitations on their Bible-based speech were lifted completely.
After visiting their website, I can't help but recall the story of Jesus and the adulterous woman and how He advised we should not judge lest we be judged, how He said the sinless one should cast the first stone.
I'm guessing the sponsors of this initiative and the Godly folks at Westboro Baptist somehow must have missed this message.

Don't Toss Spent Plastics Overboard
Fishing at Lake Amistad, Joe Ford hadn't intended to keep the 10-pound bass that he caught on a Senko. But he placed it in the livewell because it was deep hooked, and the fish died there.
As he was dressing it out, he noted a big plastic mass in its stomach. That mass turned out to be 12 plastic baits of assorted sizes and colors.
"Most of them were large," says Ford, a Colorado angler who competed in three Federation championships.
"There were no hooks in there. Just the baits."
During his 35 to 40 years of bass fishing, Ford says that he has caught several bass with worms in their throats or hanging out of their mouths, and even some with baits "sticking out of their butt."
But he never had seen anything like this. "It was amazing to see all of those worms in there," he says. "I don't know how it was going to pass them."
I agree with Ford. And what most disturbs me about this is that anglers don't normally keep and cut open 10-pound bass --- even 5-pound bass, for that matter. Yes, that one large bass at Lake Amistad could have been a rarity.
More likely, it is not, and, because of our catch-and-release ethic, we just don't realize how much ingestion of plastic is occurring below the surface of our lakes and rivers. Maybe the fish that we set free have plastic in their stomachs as well, and they suffer no ill consequences.
Or maybe some of them die from intestinal blockages and we never know about it. Odds are, some of them do. Passing a dozen plastic baits through its digestive system can be no easy task for a bass, no matter how large it is.
"Bass may or may not be able to pass or spit out a plastic bait," says Gene Gilliland, assistant chief of fisheries for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Having collected thousands of bass via electrofishing for display at outdoor shows, the fisheries biologist is all too familiar with the unhealthy connection between bass and plastic.
Captured fish are kept out of the public eye for a couple of days, before being moved to the show tanks. That way, they can purge their systems and are not as likely to foul the tanks.
Often, Gilliland and the other biologists see plastic baits on the bottom. "Either they throw them up or they come out the other end," he explains.
"What really surprised me is that there are almost no hooks. These fish are eating and throwing up torn or ripped baits that someone discarded."
Almost certainly, though, not all baits are expelled --- through one end or the other. A long bait, like a worm, could work its way into the intestine and stay there, Gilliland says. The bass then may try to feed, but whatever it eats is not going anywhere. "When that's happened to a fish, it will look really skinny," he adds.
I've seen plenty of skinny bass. I'll bet that you have too. But before Gilliland told me about this, I usually thought "spawned out" or "too many bass and not enough forage," not "intestinal blockage."
Salt-impregnated baits can be even more lethal because they swell up in the water.
"Those fish that we are holding had picked plastic baits up off the bottom," the biologist says. "Scent attractants put in the baits make them seem like something good to eat."
Based on Ford's experience and what Gilliland sees year after year in the tanks, it's logical, then, to wonder just how many plastic baits are lying at the bottom of our lakes and rivers, and how many bass die each year from ingesting them.
How those baits get to the bottom, however, isn't a subject for speculation. Too many anglers tear worn baits off their hooks and toss them over the side.
Either they do so without thinking about it, or they believe that a little plastic can't hurt anything. They are wrong.
"If anyone I'm fishing with throws a bait overboard, I pitch a fit," Gilliland says. "When you drop a bait in the water, it's going to stay there. Most baits are not biodegradable."
The biologist says that he's seen angler behavior improve a bit over the years. But still too many of them toss discarded plastic baits into the water.
"We know bass eat plastic," Gilliland says. "This is a behavior that we are certain of.
"What we need to do now is get fishermen to not throw baits overboard."
Put another way: Catch-and-release was a good first step toward protecting the resource. Properly disposing of discarded plastic baits is an easy second.

Series: Evolution Basics (35 entries)

Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
"…why a man should be hanged, because it has not yet pleased God to give him his spirit, I confess, I am yet to understand. Certainly to think by a halter to let new light into the understanding, or by the tortures of the body to heal the errors of the mind, seems to me like applying a plaister to the heel, to cure a wound in the head; which doth not work upon the seat of the disease…"
Old Testament scholar and BioLogos ECF grantee John H. Walton spent the first seven months of 2013 traveling around the United States and fifteen other countries lecturing on Genesis 1 - 3. In this series, we feature John's reflections on his world tour and the insights he gained from his conversations.
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
With a high-school level understanding of science and theology, I was convinced by this "either-or" argument and, to my knowledge, became the first Young Earth Creationist in my local Nazarene church. I knew the enemy and the enemy had a name. It was Evolution.
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
For concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse to match the current scientific picture. For non-concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse that appears to disagree with science as figurative.
I had spent so much time using the Bible as evidence to prove my point that I hadn't bothered to consider its intended purpose. It was as if I had been given a nice new pair of shoes, but instead of wearing them and letting them take me where I needed to go, I had been using them to kill bugs, prop open doors, and fix wobbly table legs.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.

Smart Balance Bikes by Smart Gear, often referred to as run bikes or balance bikes, which are pedal free and without training wheels, first and foremost help a child develop the most important skills necessary to later ride a 2 wheel bicycle with pedals. This bike helps to enhance Balance and Motor Skills. Smart Balance Bikes were designed to develop a child's balance and coordination by simply allowing the child to sit and walk or run with the bike by pushing with their feet. If the bike starts to fall, kids instinctively regain their balance using their feet. Once they've gained some momentum and balance control they can lift their feet up as they feel comfortable and start cruising!Traditional toddler bikes with 'training wheels' dont necessarily train or teach a child how to ride a bicycle. The training wheels are merely a crutch that give the child a false sense of security and merely keep the child busy or entertained rather than actually helping the child develop the necessary skills to ride a bicycle. Smart Balance Bikes are also suitable for children who need to be encouraged with motor skill development and therapeutic training. Smart Balance Bikes are made from birch wood with real inflatable rubber tires, handle bar grips, cushioned leatherette seat and our own unique carry handle incorporated in the bikes body. The Wonderworld Spring Fever Smart Balance bike features:

Slide show
Slide show: How genetic disorders are inherited
By Mayo Clinic staff
Your genes, chromosomes and DNA
Your body is made up of trillions of cells. Each cell has a core structure (nucleus) that contains your chromosomes.
Each chromosome is made up of tightly coiled strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Genes are segments of DNA that determine specific traits, such as eye or hair color. You have more than 20,000 genes.
A gene mutation is an alteration in your DNA. It can be inherited or acquired during your lifetime, as cells age or are exposed to certain chemicals. These changes in your DNA can result in genetic disorders.

Joint Statement from the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) and the American Catalog Mailers AssociationGoing forward, both groups will continue to represent our respective members best interests, which may differ at times. ACMA will continue its aggressive work in postal and other catalog-specific matters. DMA will continue its work on postal issues, as well as the many other issues that affect catalogs and the broader direct marketing community, including tax, privacy, and offers. There is an enormous amount of work to do. It requires significantly increased participation from every company with an economic stake in cataloging. Both ACMA and DMA are under-resourced from the catalog community. Our ability to operate successfully requires the financial resources, executive time, and broad-based membership of catalog mailers and their suppliers. ACMA and DMA would like to call on all companies that mail catalogs to join both organizations if you are not a member already; and to become active participants. We need a broad-based and unified effort to continue the endeavors both organizations have shaped. ACMA and DMA are excited about developing a productive and cooperative relationship and look forward to making a difference for catalogers on a long list of public policy issues. About the American Catalog Mailers Association ACMA is a Washington-based not-for-profit organization specifically created to advocate for the unique collective interests of catalog mailers in regulatory, public and administrative matters where the shared impact transcends individual company interests.

Suburban Keystone
Big Boost In Pa.;
Bush gets volunteers out this time;
If the president wins re-election, he can credit a new get-out-the- vote ef-fort- a far stronger plan than in 2000

RADNOR, Pa. - Don't let her white hair and grandmotherly features fool you. Democrats should be scared of Mary Auchincloss.
Almost every night, in a sprawling office in this Philadelphia suburb, she sits for hours with pages of names of po-tential voters and punches up their telephone numbers until her fingers are numb. She is working, she believes, for the good of her country.
"Oh, hello, my name is Mary and I'm a local volunteer calling on behalf of President Bush," she told a woman last week, pushing away the cold remnants of pizza that is the fare de guerre for dozens working with her. "President Bush is committed to protecting the unborn, defending marriage and preserving 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance ... "
Auchincloss held her breath when the woman interrupted. "You don't have to go into that," I could hear the woman say. "I support the president. So does my husband. And we will need an absentee ballot for my mother."
It was a good call for her cause - one that made me a lot less skeptical about the GOP's risky strategy of winning only with the party base.
If George W. Bush wins in Pennsylvania, he almost certainly will be re-elected. And if he carries the Keystone State, where he lost 21 electoral votes in 2000, he will owe it primarily to the unprecedented get-out- the-vote effort by thousands of passionate, well-prepared volunteers. Their energies, especially in "swing" suburbs, went largely unused four years ago.
A good case could be made that Bush lost the state in 2000 because he didn't bring out potential supporters, espe-cially Christian conservatives not excited about the Bush family's once moderate image. Bush also lost because other Republicans saw him as too conservative, and the party inadvertently brought Al Gore voters to the polls. They didn't do enough to learn which Republicans were with them. And they didn't mobilize enough voters who might have been sympathetic with Bush on one issue, such as hunters on gun control and doctors on tort reform.
Not this year. Based on what I saw at the Radnor center, which is decorated with signs such as "Doctors for Bush" and "Sportsmen for Bush," the GOP effort may be a match even for a traditionally stronger Democratic "pulling" ma-chine.
If the Democrats should fear anything the most (besides a lackluster John Kerry performance in tomorrow's presi-dential debate), it isn't a mass transformation of soccer moms to "security" moms. Those are moderate suburban women who often vote for local GOP candidates, but abandoned the party in the last three elections because its leaders seemed too far to the right on social issues. Bush has done a good, if mischievous, job of scaring many of them into seeing him so far as better able to protect their families from terrorism.
But GOP strategists believe correctly that Kerry has a good shot to retain these voters, especially if he carries his sharpened attacks against Bush's handling of the war in Iraq into that first debate. So Republican plans don't count on a single Gore voter defecting on Election Day, not even the enrolled Republicans. And they aren't going to waste any time on seducing them unless they tell a volunteer that they are leaning toward the president.
"Through a year of knocking on doors, we know our voters," said Guy Ciarrocchi, who runs Bush's Pennsylvania operation. "We won't be encouraging every Republican, and we won't be encouraging only Republicans. But every De-mocrat or independent is a bonus."
What should worry Democrats in this now 50-50 state is that Republicans may be doing as good a job as Democrats - who have pumped up their own prodigious "pulling" effort - of getting out supporters.
In 2000, GOP volunteers made 250,000 calls. This year, the professionally supervised callers already have reached a million households - keeping pace with Democrats.
The GOP operation is juiced up in every county. But nowhere are there more Republicans who voted for Democ-rats than in suburban Philadelphia. And nowhere are there more potential ticket-splitters, according to a new Temple University study. And that makes the effort in suburbia trickier than in more GOP areas. It requires a shrewder approach to learning which party enrollees are with them and which message, moderate or conservative, might resonate. Scripts are changed daily.
Auchincloss had her share of curt "not interesteds" or "don't want to discuss its." (Her specific task was to get vot-ers to fill out absentee ballots, so the party doesn't have to worry about them on Election Day.) But she encountered many more supporters.
A few days earlier, the Rev. Michael Owens of Ambler organized "registration Sunday" with several area churches. This didn't happen four years ago. "We got a lot of Christians to register," said his wife, Beth Owens, who heads the Social Conservative Coalition for Bush, which also didn't exist in 2000. "We tell them God has given this country lib-erty. And we love Bush because he believes in traditional values and the sanctity of life."
The game for Bush is to get conservatives out, as quietly as possible, through private calls, so as not to turn off the moderates being targeted with more public appeals on terrorism, education and health care. Kerry plays the same game in rarely talking about abortion rights, leaving it to outside groups to reach pro-choice voters by phone and mail.
So Democrats beware: Republicans are playing this game better than ever. Even if soccer moms return to Kerry or stay home, disgusted with both candidates, Bush is prepared again to be a minority president. And now he is positioned to win only with his base.
