Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
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.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
"…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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
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.
(Needs a summary)
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
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.

Panther pitchers dominate to open DVC
WEST CHICAGO — Pitching was expected to be the strength of the Glenbard North baseball team this spring and that was on full display as DuPage Valley Conference action began this week.
Courtesy of back-to-back one-hitters by Matt Frawley and Kyle Crites, the Panthers kicked off league play with a pair of wins over West Chicago.
In the opener on Monday, Crites struck out 10 in his first varsity start. Frawley provided the offense, belting a three-run homer with two outs in the fifth before adding a two-run blast in the seventh.

text: I have found my PCNC very useful in my small one man shop for doing one or two off special parts, light faceing jobs, multiple hole, and pattern drilling jobs. This mill is not light duty, the only thing light duty might be the tool holding set up (R8), you would not want to put a 4" shell mill in this and expect good results. I would say this machine does exactly what it was designed to do. (Afordable, small production runs, prototype work, etc.) I have had mine running 8 hours a day for the last week not one problem.

Veterans of many of John Zorn's improv nights and game pieces, drummer/percussionist Susie Ibarra and bassist Mark Dresser convened last July for a rare studio collaboration. The result is Tone Time—15 intimate studio improvisations that allowed the musicians the space and time to develop a profound musical dialogue. As the title suggests, exploration of sounds and textures is central, and both musicians are masters of coaxing the possibilities from their instruments. As formidable composers and improvisers, Ibarra and Dresser give the pieces momentum, tension and melody, avoiding sound-alike repetition. Broadly speaking, the pieces can be divided into those set around grooves and those more focused on sounds. "Jump" is a fine example of the former. Ibarra sets up a melodic rhythm with a snares-off drum sound and provides a pulse with the hi-hat pedal, while Dresser plays a divided bass line that gives the impression of two bassists—one playing low notes of a standard bass line, the other playing higher note phrases in the spaces. The title track is also set around a playful tom-tom groove and a melodic bass line, allowing both musicians to transcend the typical role of rhythm players. Conversely, on "Slipinstyle," Ibarra plays a more swinging drum-cymbal pattern that Dresser hops around, with close interplay between the two.
There are many examples of textured pieces on Tone Time. For instance, "The Subterrain" features Ibarra's brushwork and sparse cymbal rolls and chokes set against Dresser's bowed bass, which at times sounds metallic. At eight-plus minutes, "The Weaver" explores many tones including the drum rims, Asian gongs, and bowed and plucked bass figures.
Tone Time documents two prodigious musicians discovering ways to incorporate their extended techniques and sound palettes in a challenging, yet enjoyable, setting. This isn't a raver's drum-n-bass record. -- Sean Fitzell

IntroductionThe objective of the National Solidarity Programme is to lay the foundation for a sustainable form of inclusive local governance, rural reconstruction, and poverty alleviation. The NSP can be best measured by the impact the programme has on communities and individuals in rural Afghanistan. In the final analysis it is through their efforts and their contributions and guidance of their own community-led projects that the NSP programme as a whole will succeed."As of December 2007, the community mobilization activities of the National Solidarity Programme have positively impacted more than 13 million people in rural Afghanistan ." Stories of their success help illustrate and validate the ongoing commitment and support that rural residents and the international community give to the NSP and to its efforts to alleviate local poverty and build infrastructure and development in Afghanistan.Here are but a few of their success stories.
Almost a year ago, in Mirbacha Kot district of Kabul province a young lady named Miss. Mariam lost her life due tothe lack of medical facilities while giving birth. Despite the fact that Mariam's husband made every effort to take her from their distant village to a medical clinic on time, she died on the way before reaching the hospital
Laghman is among many Afghan provinces where numerous conflicts have been brought about as a result of three decades of civil strife within Afghanistan. Prior to this, there were growing signs of disunity within the communities. And due to certain interpersonal disputes most of the residents refused to talk to each other.
Houran Shahr-e-Bala Village is located in the remote mountainous region of Arganj Khuwa district of Badakhshan province. For many years its residents were forced to navigate steep and rugged mountain trails while traveling to and from the village. These jagged rocky trails while difficult to traverse during warmer months; were virtually impossible to navigate while covered in winter snows.

Ban Ki-moon's Burma roadUnited Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is on the road to Burma to witness a critical moment in the isolated Southeast Asian state s slow but sure transition to a more open political system which may bring democracy, or could legitimize the long-ruling military regime. Recently, British Prime Minister David Cameron visited Burma and called for a suspension of the suffocating economic sanctions slapped on the military rulers. And now the European Union has suspended sanctions. Equally the United States has trimmed some sanctions too. Indeed in the last six months there has been a positive and perceptible shift by Burma's nominally-civilian government. Rationales for the change has been easing debilitating economic stagnation caused by the embargos, tilting the country away from total dependence on China, and attempting to defuse growing political pressures from until- recently banned opposition. Burma's military regime, in power since the early 1960s, though politically backed by Beijing, remains in the steely grip of mainland Chinese military and commercial deals. Thus the military has tactically allowed a glimmer of hope into what only a few years ago looked hopeless. After all, political parties were banned, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Su Ki was under house arrest, and the resource-rich country was mismanaged by corrupt state socialism. Making matters worse, the United States and the Europeans enforced punishing economic sanctions which hurt the Rangoon regime, but in turn made the country, which renamed itself Myanmar, infinitely more dependent on neighboring China. Earlier this month, free and essentially fair elections were allowed for about 10 percent of Parliamentary seats. Predictably the National League for Democracy, the standard bearer of the harassed opposition movement, won the seats and Aung San Su Ki gained a place in Parliament. This is by no means a change on government but in attitude and aspirations for 52 million Burmese. There s a whiff of reform throughout the land. Amazingly, Aung San Suu Kyi will soon travel abroad for the first time in 24 years and visit Norway (to officially receive her 1990 Novel) as well as Britain. Ban Ki-moon stressed that now is the time for the international community to stand together at Myanmar's side yet we also recognize this fresh start is still fragile. Reinforcing the fresh start should be suspending but not formally ending the economic sanctions. Diplomatically it s the season to visit Burma; have a celebratory meeting with Aung San Su Ki, see the glitz, gilt and gold capital Naypyidaw to meet and greet soldier turned civilian President Thein Sein the enigmatic face of regime, and then offer words of encouragement for Burma s road to democracy. Hillary Clinton (first U.S. secretary of state since John Foster Dulles), David Cameron (first British prime minister since independence in 1948) and the globe-trotting U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon (his third visit) all bring good tidings from the outside world. All fine and well, but there s a lesson here too. Just four years ago in May, Cyclone Nargis slammed into the Burma coast causing massive devastation. Despite over two million of its people being trapped by the storm, for three fateful weeks, the ruling junta forbade and blocked international emergency aid. Ban Ki-moon begged the military to allow humanitarian supplies into flooded communities. At least 130,000 Burmese died, many of whom could have been saved had the regime allowed assistance from the United States, Japan, Australia and U.N. agencies. Beyond the cruel ineptitude in dealing with natural disasters, Myanmar's rulers enforce tight political control, press censorship and aggressive suppression of ethnic minority groups such as the Shan. Economically elements in the military are mired in opium production, deforestation of valuable teak trees, and gem smuggling. But what media exists is politely and predictably mum. For example, Reporters without Borders, has ranked Burma near the bottom of ten countries lacking press freedoms. The report cites relentless advance censorship and the arrest of journalists and bloggers. As Ban advised, Myanmar is only at the beginning of its transition. Many challenges lie ahead yet, I am convinced that we have an unprecedented opportunity to help the country advance toward a better future. For the U.S., the Europeans and Burma's other friends, Ronald Reagan's memorable quote, ``Trust but verify,'' sets the tone. The Burma road ahead is long and uncertain. John J.

Substandard: The End of an Illusion
The sale of The Weekly Standard should put paid to any lingering illusion that the neoconservative empire was anything but a Potemkin Village. Whatever happens from this point on, the news of Rupert Murdoch's repudiation of his ugliest stepchild is as refreshing a pick-me-up as the morning's second Bloody Mary I am enjoying, anchored off Spetzai on the Bushido with Chronicles' incomparably hospitable columnist, Taki. The only thing needed to make my happiness complete would be for the boys of National Review to take the hint and sell out for oh, maybe $2 million.
Allegedly, Murdoch sold the magazine for $1 million to Phillip Anschutz, the billionaire owner of The Clarity Media Group. I say allegedly because the price is either much too high or much too low. Too high, because only a fool would pay so much money for a property that does nothing but lose money without adding a glimmer of insight to political discussion in America. Too low, because if The Weekly Standard actually did enjoy the influence that its editors have been so loudly and insistently claiming, $50 million would not be nearly enough.
Murdoch sunk untold millions of his ill-gotten gains into TWS. I suppose that is the proper shorthand, since the "The Standard" properly means the Evening Standard–it's funny that for all its supposed influence, the magazine does not have a well-known acronym or nickname. Not long ago they were claiming a "growing circulation" of 60,000, and that may well be the case—though no one should ever accept anything an editor says about circulation. I won't embarrass the editors of certain of our competitors who have made wildly inflated claims that were punctured as soon as we began negotiating for their mailing lists. In typical editorial bull-speak, the Standard misleads would-be advertisers with this classic canard: "More than 65,000 politically active Americans nationwide receive the magazine each week." Receive. That is like the Hillsdale newsletter Imprimis which claims I don't know how many hundreds of thousands of "readers." I don't think I have ever met anyone who actually read Imprimis. The hard part actually, if you have ever been anyone in the conservative "movement," is not receiving it. I'd ask them to take my name out of their computer, but that would be like unsubscribing to spam: It only makes your name a more valuable commodity to be included on the list of refuseniks who don't want this propaganda defiling their mailbox.
When TWS was around 40,000, I heard from a well-placed and reliable source that Murdoch told them he would pull the plug, if they failed to reach 100,000. If the editors had sacrificed some small part of their salary and benefits, they might have had enough money to build up the circulation to a level acceptable to their master. If they had just cut down on some of the face paint they slathered on for their Fox News appearances, they could have paid for an additional 5000 subscribers at least. (Joke supplied by Taki—don't blame me.) But The Weekly Standard was never about anything else but the income and ego-gratification of its editors, and this is the result. That slow sucking sound you hear all the way from New York is the credibility of Kristol and co. going down the drain.
Chronicles has never enjoyed the support of a billionaire publisher, and our annual losses must be miniscule in comparison with the Murdoch money Kristol has wasted, but even our piddling operation loses about $600,000 every year, and that money has to be made up with our semi-annual begging appeals. Nobody would offer us more than the token single dollar for Chronicles, but, if we had to sell, a fair price for our assets would be about $7 million. (Any wealthy donor or potential donor who wants to dispute the price is free to call me and discuss the fat pledge he is about to make. As they say in poker, you have to pay to see.) For Anschutz, a million is the equivalent of the buck it takes to seal a contract. It's a rich man's walking around money, in other words chump change. If you listen to Frum, Kristol, and Barnes, though, TWS has been the brains of the American Empire, but it went on the block for a lousy million. Some brains! Some empire!
I once told Pat Buchanan that Bill Kristol had declared him politically dead in the pages of TWS. "That guy," Pat snorted, "he never gets anything right." Unlike the stopped clock that is correct twice a day, the Standard's editors have never got anything right, from weapons of mass destruction to the presidential aspirations of Steve Forbes to "John McCain's Moment" that Bill Kristol was proclaiming last September. In the interest of full disclosure, I should say that the few times I met Bill, I found him polite and friendly, and he is reported to have saved me from a dressing down in Congress. As Tessio tells Tom Hagen in The Godfather, this is nothing personal, just business. And in this business we have chosen, TWS has never contributed anything to American political commentary. When they are right, it is because they are saying what everyone else has been saying, and, when they are original or distinctive, they are wrong.
But, as the Frum declared in an interview, The Standard has influence. Do they really? Is it influence to run after a parade, shouting, "Me too, me too" and then claim not only to lead the parade but to have started it? It would not be so bad if their platitudinous conventional wisdom were at least some form of knee-jerk conservatism or capitalist greed, but it is neither. Bill's father Irving (popularly known as "the godfather"), was famous for giving "two cheers for capitalism." (They can't even be clever without imitating someone, in this case E.M. Forster). But Irving's politics have only evolved from his original Trotskyism to a cross between Swedish socialism and Taiwan's state capitalism. The amiable dimwit Fred Barnes spilled the beans, as he so often does, when he called for big government conservatism. Fred was not quite bright enough to realize that he was uttering a contradiction in terms, and The Weekly Standard's ideology is, at best, New Republic lite—an insipid brew that neither cheers nor inebriates.
TWS's not-so-secret weapon was neither its ideology nor its "writers," but Murdoch himself. It's like the old Henny Youngman joke about the man who crossed a lion with a parrot.
"What does he say?"
"I don't know, but when he talks I listen."
Murdoch is not only a very powerful man, whose whims have to be catered to, but he also owns major newspapers and two television networks. Who would listen to Kristol's platitudes—as poorly expressed as they are predictable—if he and his editors were not trotted out to tell their lies on Fox News?
The Weekly Standard did only two things. On the positive side, it provided a living for writers who cannot write and political intellectuals without intellect, but it also contributed to the senile dementia that has afflicted the conservative mind since the election of Ronald Reagan. Bill Kristol did not destroy conservatism all by himself. His father was a much more destructive force, but it would be a grave mistake to attribute too much blame to the Kristols and Podhoretzes. They were welcomed with open arms by the unprincipled leadership of the conservative movement. Parasites do not generally destroy a healthy organism. Of course, there were still good people working for Heritage, in the 1980's, and writing for National Review, but the lightning success of the neoconservative Putsch was as revealing as Hitler's Anschluss (the annexation of Austria that met with so little resistance.)
No one knows, exactly, what Philip Anschutz (#89 on Forbes' list of the richest people in the universe) will decide to do with The Weekly Standard. His Examiner newspapers are roughly neocon, though somewhat to the left of TWS. Despite the denatured versions of the Narnia books he produced, Anschutz is said to be some kind of Christian conservative. If that were true, it ought to be bad news for the anti-Christian Israel-firsters at TWS. Unfortunately, conservative Evangelicals are the most loyal Likudniks who have ever goose-stepped behind Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu. Kill off all the Middle Eastern Christians, who have survived Arabi and Israeli terrorism, and they would not utter a peep, but just hint at something less than 110% support for Israel, and they'll call you an anti-Semite. It was shortly after Anschutz started the Washington Examiner that someone called Dave Mastio slurred Sam Francis in its pages. For the time being, he may be perfectly comfortable with Kristol—until he notices how much money he is losing and gives TWS the same treatment he gave the Baltimore Examiner, which he shut down.
Whatever happens, Anschutz has already done us a big favor in revealing the low low price of the emperor's new clothes. Ever since Obama's election, the conservative chatter has been all about new ideas and new strategies, but the very fact that they are saying this shows how bankrupt the conservatives really are. With this set of rookies heading for the showers, perhaps a few remaining veterans might come out of hiding and show us some of the stuff they had when they won the pennant in 1980. Perhaps, but probably not. Still, this is no time to stifle our joy. As Horace wrote after Octavian's victory at Actium, where he defeated those paragons of greed and ambition, Antony and Cleopatra, "Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero pulsanda tellus," lines which an American poet of my generation translated as "I'll just stay here and drink."

Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes kicked to the curb on 17th Street. To steal a phrase from Jake Barnes, "wouldn't it be pretty to think so."
A delightful piece.
This is another great benefit of the Bush Depression and the demise of newspapers. Murdoch's News Corp.'s price has dropped by more than half the past two years, leading him to cut the losers.
The Bush inflationary boom financed the Neocon wars and the Neocon propaganda. Now the boom has gone bust/
It's also worth remembering that Murdoch is the world's largest pornographer, both through his XXX TV channels and the naked girls he puts in his newspapers. So the Neocons are a porn-funded movement.
Google "Rupert Murdoch's Growing Porn Empire," by William Norman Grigg.
I was going to say a million bucks is chump change to wealthy men like Murdoch and Anschutz. The Progressive in nearby Madison may very well be worth more if it ever went on the open market. Whatever influence Kristol and company may think they have just flew the coop with that sale price.
Rich men do not willingly and continuously lose money on something unless they belive it profits them in the long run or in some other fashion beyond the balance sheet. That's how they stay rich. Murdoch started and funded the Weekly Standard for lo these past 15 years as a way of showing HIS influence when it came to public policy and opinion (I would not dare presume to call TWS intellectual) while TWS staff were more than happy to have Murdoch's money as a way of showing THEIR influence. Both sides were using each other. As of right now Murdoch no longer believes TWS is very useful in this regard because the people he employs are no longer very influential nor very correct when it comes to public policy and politics and may actually be a liability when it comes to dealing with the new administration. This is is what a disasterous war will do to you, it lays your assumption bare and finds them wanting. What all this proves is that Murdoch is a businessman first and foremost, not an ideologuge. He cuts his losses when its advantageous for him to do so.
No doubt Anschutz feels he made a steal by buying TWS dirt cheap and no doubt he bought it to try and muscle his way into the same world of public policy and opinion now that he has money to burn. Now TWS becomes his fireplace.
I agree with a comment above, this is a "delightful piece." However, what will this do to the mentoring of Sarah Palin by her political creator, Bill Kristol? While being in full agreement with Pat Buchanan's snort, i.e., "That guy," Pat snorted, "he never gets anything right," what would PJB's favorite Republican be without Kristol? And what does the enthusiasm that some "conservatives" have for Dr. Kristol's creation say for the intellectual vitality of 21st Century "conservatism?"
It's good news that the Weekly Standard has so little value, but Frum, Barnes, Kristol, and their equivalents are still all over the place. How do you get away from them? As the poet says, "Down every road there's always one more city."
During the Russian Civil War, Trotsky deployed "blocking units" to shoot Russians retreating from the front line.
In a sense, The Weekly Standard has served as a "blocking unit" for the conservative movement - always ready to snipe anyone moving too far to the Right.
The Washington Examiner's Dave Mastio trashed Sam Francis in his obituary of Sam. Mastio was inundated with critical mail, made a half-hearted apology when he admitted he didn't know much about Sam or even his writings, and was gone from the paper very shortly thereafter.
That finger in the wind belongs to Senator Joe Lieberman.
It's hard work, but somebody has to do it.
Wonderful news and as always, a very insightful post from Dr. Fleming. Sailing with Taki and getting this news must make him feel as though he's glimpsed into heaven!
However, it was Michael Corleone that uttered those memorable words, not Tessio. Tessio, however, did speak some words to Tom Hagen just as he was being led away late in the movie that Mr. Kristol might also now employ, "can you get me off the hook, for old times' sake?"
Internet is slow this minute on the boat, but here from a competent summary: "Tom Hagen surrounds Tessio with his men, and Tessio says " tell Michael it was only business, nothing personal."
I misspoke; I meant to say it was Michael who FIRST uttered those words -upon return from the hospital after McCluskey broke his jaw. Apologies to Dr. Fleming! He is correct that Tessio also spoke those words.
Reading about Mr. Anschutz, I am not sure that Mr. Kristol and Mr. Barnes have much to sweat over. In fact, Phillip Anschutz may be an improvement over Rupert Murdoch in the point-of-view of the current Weekly Standard line-up. Anschutz started in corporate agriculture, added oil and rail, then jumped into communications and gambling. His hyper-capitalist ways are a good fit with the Weekly Standard's views on global capitalism. As for Murdoch, he is most likely closer to his grand finale on this globe than Anschutz is and Murdoch has the liability of a wife and children with leftist political views. One could only surmise that the plug would be pulled on the Weekly Standard once Murdoch died. Now the younger Murdochs won't have that chance.
Who needs the Weekly Substandard anymore? In the last 30 years, a plethora of neocon think-tanks, radio programs, television networks, and magazines have emerged from Gehenna to infect our minds with their miasma. One magazine may perish, but two new propaganda mouthpieces rise in its place.
#11. Great article Mr. Fleming. I would be curious to learn more about the downfall of Heritage story. As far as Hillsdale, Imprimis notwithstanding, it's still considered pretty good considering what is out there, or isn't it?
I don't know enough about Hillsdale these days to form a judgment. I used to know a number of good people there and wish the college well. Every organization has to put out PR in order to attract and hold a base of donor support. In comparing The Standard with Hillsdale's PR sheet, any insult intended was against TWS.
Fair enough. I assume that the Neocons were on board within the Bush administration way before the election. It probably rarely happens that the President picks his advisors after the fact. While the Neocon foreign adventures are legend, their domestic policy views are just as odious. A case can be made that they are for big government and some form of socialism as well. With their blunders and inaction, instead of holding the leftist hordes back during their tenure, they have in fact enabled them for their current onslaught.
I just looked up Philip Anschutz. He is a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, therefore he is probably not a dispensational pre-millennialist for whatever that's worth. Although, in my experience, excessive support for Israel among conservative Christians is not limited to dispy pre-mils. It has become a part of the culture of "mainstream" Christian conservatism regardless of denomination.
For some bizarre reason a few years ago I was invited to a Federalist Society luncheon speech at a restaurant in DC's Chinatown. I happened to be across the street on other business and went to hear their guest speaker -- an editor from the Weekly Standard -- some non-entity whose name is not worth remembering.
I asked him, "when will your magazine run a story about sample selection methods used by pollsters?" He waffled around the subject, probably because he was not familiar with any question that began neither with a sermon nor a how-do-you-feel-about. Dissatisfied with his pathetic excuse of an answer I got nasty and said "would you like me to repeat the question because I don't think you understood me?"
The moderator cut off all further discussion after that, but it told me all I needed to know about the quality of TWS's investigative reporters. I'm glad their gone! Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Dr Fleming, we have met at JRC functions and I have read Imprimis, but not so much recently since they have taken to pandering to neocon giants like William Bennett. When it arrives at my home each month, I place it in the downstairs bathroom for some light reading should the need arise. I have also visited the campus of Hillsdale and find it a very pleasant learning environment. My children were not interested in attending college anywhere and my interest in the college has waned.
Tom, I accept fully what you say in #15 above, and I doubt that anybody really familiar with Hillsdale would have taken offense in the first place. Imprimis has at times in its past been a rather serious publication, reflecting what at times have been serious on-campus seminars. But it was intended from the beginning to be a vehicle to advertise Hillsdale College's position in the academic universe, and to help round up donors and students in such a way as to help the college realize some very serious academic goals. It is distributed, free, and the mailing list is guarded carefully; and it has done its job. But this isn't about Hillsdale, it's about TWS, and you have sunk the nail into that one with a mighty blow.
Thanks, John, for your understanding. We used to do something called Main Street Memorandum, which was designed to advertise and promote TRI activities. We did not print things we disagreed with, but it did not reflect our ordinary standards of thought and discourse. And yes, friend Steve (from the Antipodes, as I recall), we have met more than once and I have always known who you really are. We have ways, as the Nazis always say in the movies.
Back in the office from Greece and none too happy about it. Athens was blazing hot, but I think I'd rather perish from the heat in Athens than enjoy the cool wave that hit the Midwest but, for my benefit, is now ending. How damp it is here.
By the way, Victor Davis Hanson was in Greece at the same time as Dr. Fleming. Any chance you crossed paths? Maybe engage in "a war like no other."

Is there a way to have UltraEdit know to select the wordfile type based on the folder I open them from?
Or when I save a new file.
This forum had that same question posed Oct 19, 2007.
The answer was "no" back then (version 12?).
But I was hoping that enhancement has been made 5 years later on v17.
Maybe the secret it to use "projects", which I haven't looked at.

Killer Drones: When Will Our Weaponized Robots Become Autonomous?
America's drone fleet has become an increasingly relied-upon wing of its counter-insurgency strategy and plays a key role in its geopolitical policy, particularly in Pakistan where unmanned aircraft routinely venture into sovereign territory and deliver lethal payloads to targets on the ground. But the Washington Post asks: just exactly how far away are we from real "killer robots." The answer, in this morning's piece of recommended reading, is: we're already there.
We know that various research and academic institutions are working on robot autonomy (regular readers see stories and videos of these autonomous 'bots right here on PopSci all the time), but what's a bit mind-blowing is just how far along some of this technology is. At Fort Benning, a team of Georgia Tech computer scientists is helping the military demonstrate software that can autonomously--without a shred of human input--acquire and make life or death decisions about targets on the ground.
That is, the only thing that's missing is the capability to fire. Add that, and you've got a killer robot.
Of course, these are just demonstrations (for now). But they create a blueprint for the inevitable future of warfare: when time is critical and running decisions up the chain isn't feasible, software will make key decisions about what constitutes a target, what falls within the bounds of the "rules of war," and whether or not it's safe to commence firing. If a program can satisfy whatever requirements have been seeded in its coding, then it's bombs away.
It all sounds a bit Skynet, but it's moving forward at a rapid pace within the U.S. military, driven both by need (putting fewer human lives in harm's way is obviously preferable) and that Cold War-esque mentality that if America isn't at the front of autonomous warfare then it can only be behind. That sentiment is not entirely misplaced: South Korea has already deployed semi-autonomous armed robotic systems along the demilitarized zone bordering North Korea, and the Chinese have a dog in the hunt for autonomous weapons systems as well.
So what is the state of "lethal autonomy?" To put a number on it, it's at least a decade (probably more) away from becoming battlefield reality. I sat in on a lecture at last month's AUVSI unmanned robotics conference titled "Armed and Autonomous" where the focus was on the idea of deploying armed UAVs into contested airspace--using unmanned planes to deliver surface-to-air and air-to-air weapons in areas where anti-air defenses are still intact.
What might surprise many is that the computer programs necessary to evade air defenses and execute these kinds of missions autonomously already exist. The backbone technology is there, we just don't trust it enough to actually deploy it. The idea of unleashing armed and autonomous robots, aerial or otherwise, is naturally abhorrent to us because robots--at least the robots that we have now--are incapable of making common sense decisions or distinguishing--with 100 percent accuracy--between friend or foe, surrendering troops or hostile enemy, the benign and the threatening.
But that capability gap between human and machine, as WaPo reports, is shrinking. The question is: when will it have shrunk enough that we trust robots with life and death decisions? As we've been coldly reminded by incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan, even highly trained soldiers don't always make the right decisions on the ground. At what percentage of error are we willing to say autonomous robots are ready for war?
Click through below for the Post piece. It's a quick and engaging morning read.

of course the military will lead the way in fully autonomous machines, machines will be better at war than us; stress, fatigue, revenge, ect. can be eliminated, the problem is losing control, they will eventually be smarter than us and could become uncontrollable, what a combination, this is not fantasy, the terminator scenario is a threat that the DOD believes is real and is working to prevent, the problem is we get only one chance to get it right and murphy's law loves it's chances, cheers
really dude, what else do they teach you in that hellhole of a country, not only are you wrong but stereotypical, its like saying, all of china and north korea are communists, when really some of the people are against it. get your facts right, it makes you look stupid
That was a troll response and very off topic. The U.S. is not the only (neither the forerunner) in automated war technology.
This transformation is all but inevitable for one reason: American society followed by many others are trouble with the desire to end military conflict for a severe public distaste in bloodshed (as it pertains to the loss of life of fellow countrymen) conflicted with the necessity to maintain multi-regional stability and strike capability worldwide in the interest of individual national security (which logically necessitates the act of war).
In order to accomplish this, automated systems are an effective solution that will achieve national security objectives for a downsized and increasingly reduced funded military by maintaining operational effectiveness and efficiency. It will also appeal to the general public (and military members) that devices are being employed that will allow troops to go into battle and decrease the likelihood of anyone getting injured or killed in combat.
It's a solution to continue violence by ending war casualty rates. This is fueled by a public that will support legislative and executive action to respond to a national threat, but are not willing to sacrifice life, limb, or their own loved ones supporting a national security endeavor.
"We can go to war, just don't let any of our troops get hurt." A growing contradictory sentiment in privileged developed nations. It's easier if a robot does it.
I dread the day when these drones get hack by a country and go on a sudden civilian killing spree and the USA is to blame and we do not have a clue of how it happen?
Mean while the world looks at the USA with horror and shock.
I only present this worst case scenario, so I hope appropriate policies are made in advance. Autonomous could prove to be an evil thing.
Use some common sense folks. What happens when there is the first friendly/civilian casualty from a fully automated drone? Heads will roll at the top of the military chain. Generals/admirals are political animals. They know this.
As far as the US is concerned, I believe humans will, for the foreseeable future, always have a say in the final decision on what targets are attacked (with the exception of area denial weapons e.g. landmines).
What you may see is semi-autonomous drones, where a human designates/approves a target, but the drone makes all decisions on how to engage the target(s).
@democedes...i guess you need to reread the article and the post article (see the link), they are developing the capability for fully autonomous systems, they don't develope these expensive systems to not use them, and if we don't someone else will, for better or worse
"What you may see is semi-autonomous drones, where a human designates/approves a target, but the drone makes all decisions on how to engage the target(s)."
This is portrayed in the movie "Eagle Eye." The problem in that system is, if you have a highly computer centric network that an AI has unfettered classified access to, the AI system can apprehend control of other system components for its designated uses.
As far as semi-autonomous systems are concerned they already exist and our battlefield operational (i.e. U.S. Air Force Global Hawk).
"at least the robots that we have now--are incapable of making common sense decisions or distinguishing--with 100 percent accuracy--between friend or foe, surrendering troops or hostile enemy, the benign and the threatening"
Human troops have the same exact troubles. One day, most likely a robot will just be able to be better then the grunt on the ground... and that's when they'll be used.
It's morally wrong if a live soldier does it. It's collatoral damage, system malfunction, and/or operational design flaw if a machine does it. Either way it's warfare.
They're already being used right now. Two different companies (Foster-Miller & iRobot; go figure) have developed ground based umanned combat units that work alongside fire teams on the ground in combat. More sophisticated designs for landwarfare are being designed by these two companies and others right now.
Drones and robots are beginning to dominate the land, air, sea, and space domains of combat.

People in the military do not kill people willy nilly. They follow the government, the chain of command, their training and their orders. They are not killers, but defenders of their home and since they are part of the USA, USA is their home. These people are HEROS! GOT IT. They are not killers.
Now I understand when you are in the heat of battle and many are intently trying to kill you and all the those around you, you may feel the passion of killing, but you do not arrive to this situation by you own choice. This whole situation was force upon you and you are defending your own country. I 100% support all those in our military and I am a veteran and a patriot too. Those who serve in the military are good people. The military is observant and puts out with killer bad attitudes at first notice.
I think you missed the point of my statement. The implication was that use of automated technology that no one has a real measure of control over, could offer anyone within the command structure a scapegoat whenever something catastrophic goes wrong involving collatoral damage in war.
I'm not bashing the actions of U.S. troops (you have to pay attention and read between the lines dammit!!). I'm stating a truth as it is perceived in the media when things like this happens.
It doesn't matter if a soldier makes a mistake or a piece of hardware makes a mistake (or is compromised as you put it). Warfare is an evil thing. These robotic devices are no more evil than the intent of our use for them and whatever result occurs thereafter.
Then take the time to consider the concept of violence. If someone dear to you were killed in an altercation with another person upon which they were the aggressor and their murderer was the defender, regardless of your civilized appearance and actions on the outside, someone that you care for that deeply means more to you than the plight of some random person defending themselves. You are naturally more subject to despise this person for taking someone precious from you, and given the chance you'd seek vengeance through your bare hands.
If you consider the previous, you will realize that our opinions are all biased. Where you see a hero from your perspective someone else might see a butcher. Of course (again) the plight of some random person doesn't apply to you. Still this will not stop the fact that when horrible mistakes happen in warfare, the perpetrators responsible will face being labeled by certain people for their negative actions.
Your proclamation of the U.S. troops is well placed, but that is only relative yourself and all who support U.S. troops. The rest of the world doesn't share that same sentiment. Naivety is irrational because it is tantamount to the realm of sinful ignorance.

Celebrating Fifty Years of Life / 1948-1998
These are but a few of the memories my camera has stored for posterity. They are pictures frozen in time of a magical period when the air was filled with optimism and hope. In those days our idealism would (and did) win against daunting odds. It shields us from our fear and drove us to continue. Here is a stunning display of color photographs taken half a century ago by Marlin Levin capturing inspiring images of Israelis struggling to survive while creating a Jewish State against overwhelming odds.

Depending on how the charts break down, it's possible some non-metal songs could be difficult. One Week might be murder on Vox because of the cadence for example. Throw in that even the metal songs have a few easy instrments (vox, maybe keys, sometimes bass), and that you're playing all 5 at the same time, and you really don't now which songs are going to be the toughest. I'm guessing it will be songs with tough charts on all 5 instruments (With "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" as possibly being the toughest overall because of the Vox chart).

BOSTON (WHDH) -- A 56-year-old pediatrician at Children's Hospital has been charged with receiving child pornography.
Dr. Richard Keller of Andover stood before a federal judge wearing a rumpled green T-shirt on Thursday. He is accused of buying and owning child pornography from a company operating online and outside the United States.
Court documents show he had films of children involved in sexually explicit conduct and owned more than 500 pictures and up to 100 DVD's, all sexually graphic.
Federal investigators alleged the pediatrician was buying from a company whose films showed mostly underage boys.
Officials at Children's Hospital released a statement that said:
"When the hospital learned of the allegations against Dr. Keller earlier today he was immediately put on administrative leave…No complaints or concerns have been expressed by any patients or family members about the care Dr Keller provided while he was at Children's."
But, there were complaints when Keller's pregnant girlfriend was leaving court. She hid behind a piece of paper while his attorney protected her.
Neither one of them commented on the charges nor accusations that he spent close to $3,000 on pornography that was allegedly delivered to his on campus address at Phillips Academy where he was a medical director up until last year.
Phillips Academy said they are cooperating with the investigation.
Keller is now in federal marshals' custody. They consider him a risk of flight.

Photo Blog by Christopher Paul
Welcome Living Social Customers!
Below, you will see a few examples of my style. It's very rewarding to provide Families with Artistic Fun Photos. My Candid approach to Family Photography makes for the easiest portrait experience you will ever have done!
I do not have a studio. Rather, I come to you or a park, forest preserve, etc. The best photos are done outside in Natural Light. The background is far less important. As you can see, the camera was zoomed in close enough and there isn't much background to be seen. Just about any Park works. You don't have to go to Millennium Park to get great photos! We have a few favorite places to do photo shoots based on your location. I will do photos in your home if you wish. However, indoor photos never seem to be as good as outdoor locations.

Choosing An Anti Aging Cream: What Should You Look For?
More In Skin Beauty
Tags: anti aging creams, best anti aging cream, clearing wrinkles
Anti Aging Creams are nowadays very popular among people who are interested in maintaining their beauty even after the young age. To avoid wrinkles, darkness in skin under the eyes, and to avoid the marks of old age there are many creams and these creams are known as Anti Aging cream. But simply choosing an anti aging cream for clearing wrinkles is not a wise thing because in the market there are many creams which are harmful to skin and health. Hence while choosing an anti aging cream you should look for certain things and only if the product satisfies all your needs then you could move with that anti aging cream.
There are three things one has to look before choosing any anti aging cream and these are considered to be the guidelines for choosing any anti aging cream. These guidelines are explained in detail here. First thing one have to consider while choosing any anti aging cream is the type of their wrinkles. That is in which part of your face you have wrinkles in more number depending on the specific area you have to choose an anti aging cream. That is for example if you have more wrinkles under your eyes then you have to choose a cream which best suits that part and could use the same until it wipes out the wrinkles.
This kind of choosing an anti aging cream helps you to get rid off wrinkles in less time and will clear the wrinkles as a whole. Also depending on the impact you have to choose, i.e., whether the wrinkles are fine lines or deep set repetition wrinkles. There are plenty of anti aging creams, in the case you are looking for clearing fine wrinkles line but make sure to choose a very effective cream which wipes out all wrinkles as a whole.

Ask Me Another
Puzzlemaster Will Shortz and Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! host Peter Sagal walk into a bar... No, it's not the start of a joke. It's the essence of Ask Me Another, a rambunctious hour that blends brainteasers and local pub trivia night with comedy and music. Host Ophira Eisenberg invites in-studio guests and listeners alike to stretch their noggins, tickle their funny bones, and enjoy witty banter and guitar riffs from house musician Jonathan Coulton.
For an hour, listeners can play along as Eisenberg puts questions to a rotating band of puzzle gurus, audience members and special mystery guests, who then takes a turn in the contestant's chair facing trivia games written especially for him or her. What you'll hear resembles the casual intimacy of game night at a friend's house: one where scores are forgotten in favor of hilarious gaffes.
The puzzle gurus behind Ask Me Another include John Chaneski, who devised tough questions and answers for "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" before becoming one of the "puzzle guys" on the radio program "A Way With Words"; Art Chung who has written for and produced television game shows including "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?," "Cash Cab," "The World Series of Pop Culture," and "Stump the Schwab"; and actor/writer Will Hines who has performed and taught improvisational comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre for years, and obsessively reads books on compiling baseball statistics, a task he will never have to do.
Ask Me Another is recorded live at The Bell House in Brooklyn, NY.
Thursday, December 5, 2013 11:00amPuzzle Guru John Chaneski leads this final round in which every correct answer is the name of a real or fictional doctor, most of whom you shouldn't go to for medical advice. Except maybe Dr. Who. Bonus trivia question: On The Muppet Show, who led the house band and played the keyboards?
Thursday, December 5, 2013 11:00amConsidering the satin-voiced singer's fourth record, Normal as Blueberry Pie, was a tribute to Doris Day, we put McKay in the puzzle hot seat for a quiz about the legendary actress and singer. Plus, hear what vinyl she's currently spinning, and why she brought a pair of leopard-print, "second-hand love cuffs" to the show.
Thursday, December 5, 2013 11:00amThis game is rather simple: each answer contains the name of a dog breed. For example, the Simon & Garfunkel song that begins, "I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told," is "The Boxer." Of course, as house musician Jonathan Coulton will tell you, a boxer is a breed of dog, as well as a person who boxes. The song is not, however, about a person who puts things in boxes.
Thursday, December 5, 2013 11:00amIn this game led by host Ophira Eisenberg, we've removed the "x" sound in various words and phrases. Your job is to put the "x" back, based on the clue. For example, if she said, "Put an "x" in "hagon" to get a six-sided geometric shape, you would answer "hexagon."
Thursday, December 5, 2013 11:00amThere are songs that express heartfelt emotions, telling stories of love or loss that are both universal and deeply personal. Then there are songs that are pretty much just lists of things. This game covers those songs, though house musician Jonathan Coulton and VIP Nellie McKay have cheekily swapped out some of the items. Raindrops on roses and what on what, again?

howchie continues to throw stones from hiz glass house.....
All AGT......all the time.
Know more bullshit.
RobinsBedSores/Sally B shot dead 11/10/13. Never Forget.
It will be revealed that a secret Illuminati consisting of Jackie, Billy West, Stuttering John and Scott Eizenger have been sending subliminal messages to Howard. These messages forced him to do awful shows and feel fatigued, thus only being able to muster the strength to work 3 days a week. It will further be revealed that AGT Howard is a doppelganger, and the real Howard is trapped in another dimension and has been since 2007.
I predict the show will blow...
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
I predict that 2013 will be my fifth year of not listening to the show.

Sandra Bernhard
Maroon 5
Al Roker
lather, rinse, repeat....
This is better than rejuvenation.
Xmas avatar by Horsetoothed- it's s'cute
My prediction....
My prediction is that the show will continue to massively suck moosenuts and when AGT fires up again it will become totally unlistenable. Or pretty much what it sounded like all through 2012.
My predictions:
- He'll start working five days a week and putting in extra hours.
- There will be two or three comedians constantly sitting in the Jackie and Artie chairs. Benjy will be relegated to the back offices and no longer on air.
- Howard's production company will start shooting his Porky's remakes.
- Howard announces that he will sign on as CEO of Sirius when he's done as a broadcaster.
2 days a week of the AGT wrap up show, followed by the AGT wrap up show wrap up show.

George Brinton McClellan
b. Philadelphia, Dec. 3, 1826, d. Oct. 29, 1885,
After graduation from West Point in 1846, the youthful McClellan served in the Mexican War with displayed ability. At the start of the war, McClellan was put into a position of leadership.
After a successful campaign in Virginia, McClellan was given command of the Army of Potomac, one of the Union's strongest army's, after its defeat at Bull Run. With almost 100,000 troops under his command, he led the Peninsular campaign, marching toward Richmond. Despite weighted numbers and staggering odds, Jackson and Johnston, and eventually Lee, thwarted his efforts, and the campaign toward Richmond was abandoned. His overcautious approach was his greatest fall back, and much of this cautiousness was caused by faulty estimates of enemy numbers. At the battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, his over cautiousness led to a draw at the costly battle instead of a Union victory. Due to his apparent inactivity, Lincoln relieved him of duty in November.
In 1864, he won the nomination for presidential candidation, but was squarely defeated by Lincoln. In the postwar years he was a successful engineering consultant and traveled the world.

10 inch fly wheel 49-53 flat head
I have a 1949 Mercury 8 cly. flathead that I want to put in my 1949 Ford F-1 pick up truck with a T- 5 speed transmission from a 1991 chevy S-10. I called Corn Huskers Rod and Custom for the conversion bell housing, clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. I was told that my 11 inch fly wheel will not work for this application. He instructed me to find and buy a 10 inch long fly wheel that the three finger pressure plate will bolt on to. So, I looked on craigs list and ebay. I found nothing....I can buy a new one for an outragous amount of $400.00. Has any one done this type of conversion? And where can I find this fly wheel? What is the difference between the fly wheels, besides one inch? I'm a rookie at this type of stuff and not sure what I'm looking for. He told me not to get a diaphram??? And not a borgan beck??? I have no idea what he is talking about??
There are 3 common types of pressure plates. The Borg & Beck, the Diaphram, and the Long Style, also called a "3 finger clutch". The cornhusker bellhousing looks like the one I used to put a saginaw 4 speed behind my flatty years ago and uses a modified bearing retainer on the tranny that uses a early ford throwout bearing and Long style clutch. If your clutch pressure plate has 3 narrow fingers it's probably OK. If the fingers are wide it it's a borg & beck.

The tank fits the bike OK, however had the following issues: 1. The shrouds don't fit perfectly. You'll have to bend them. 2. The gas filter won't fit into the hole. Had to expand it with a knife. 3. I couldn't put the seat properly with the tank. No workaround... Would NOT recommend!!!

The one that came with my tank cracked around the top, so I purchased one of these assuming it was a freak thing. A few months later the new one cracked around the top the same way. A friend of mine also has a Clarke tank, and the cap broke in the same place. This cap will last if you are careful to never over tighten it. I suggest buying a Tusk aluminum cap and not worrying about it ever again, which is what both of us did eventually.
