EA Partners label to close
The EA Partners label, the contract-based publishing service for independent developers, is said to be closing.
Game Informer has apparently received "word from multiple anonymous sources close to the matter" regarding the closure. The Partners label is responsible for bringing the Crysis series, Shadows of the Damned, Alice: Madness Returns, Bulletstorm, Brutal Legend, the Rock Band series and more.
The news follows the departure of CEO John Riccitiello, recent layoffs around the world and the abandoning of relatively new Facebook titles from a studio that was acquired for $300 million.

Browser access to Miiverse now available
Miiverse can now be accessed via computer or smartphone. Wii U's social network has now launched on browsers in its beta phase to see what all your friends are up.
The browser version allows users to view their Activity Feed, friends list, notifications and more but not make new posts and new accounts. To use the Miiverse outside of a Wii U a Nintendo Network ID still needs to be setup on a Wii U. Thanks Joystiq.
There is still no word of when Miiverse will hit 3DS.

Unity won't continue selling Flash licenses
Unity announced today that it will stop selling Flash deployment licenses but will continue support for Flash customer for the rest of the current cycle.
The news was posted on the Unity blog, courtesy of Shack News, and states the decision is due to Adobe not being committed to future Flash development, saying "We don't see Adobe being firmly committed to the future development of Flash. This is evidenced by the cancellation of Flash Player Next, the instability of recent Flash Player versions and by Adobe's workforce moving on to work on other projects. By introducing, and then abandoning, a revenue sharing model, Adobe eroded developers' (and our) trust in Flash as a dependable, continuously improving platform."
Adding to that, Unity states that its own Unity Web Player has seen unprecedented growth in recent months, already installed on over 200M computers and by 1/3 of all Facebook gamers.

SOURCE: The Lending Circle
The Federal Reserve released its Beige Book Survey through the period of November 14th, 2012 reporting that economic growth was led by steady home sales and an increase in consumer spending. The Lending Circle focuses on the information and asks - will this continue or will the fiscal cliff issues slow growth?
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 07, 2012
The Federal Reserve released its Beige Book Survey, which provides anecdotal economic information for all 12 of the Fed's regional banking districts. This Beige Book covered the period of October 14 through November 14, 2012 and showed improving growth in 9 of the 12 banking districts.
Weak growth in the remaining three districts – Boston, Philadelphia, and New York – is attributed to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, which created widespread economic disruption in the Northeast U.S. during late October. Economic growth was led by steady home sales and an increase in consumer spending.
Despite continued uncertainty surrounding the "fiscal cliff", the survey found that growth was still better than anticipated. The fiscal cliff is a series of tax increases and spending cuts that will take effect January 1, 2013 if government policymakers can't come to a budget compromise before then. Manufacturing was a prominent weakness in the Fed report, slowing in 7 of the 12 regions and remaining flat in an additional two.
The Lending Circle has observed uncertainty among its clients and businesses regarding the fiscal cliff negotiations. Businesses are uncertain about many future issues, such as taxes and regulations, and how this may impact the bottom line. Hiring has been slower or "on hold" for many until there is more clarity. However, consumer spending and home values are up. In fact, consumer confidence is rising.
Lower energy prices, and increasing home values have combined to increase consumer confidence to the highest levels in 4 1/2 years. Terry Robinson, President of The Lending Circle, says that these factors are good signs of an improving economy. However, bank lending is still constrained which has not helped small business as much as it could. Increased consumer confidence is having a positive impact on holiday spending, thought, with a record number of shoppers coming out over the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend.
Even though consumers appear to be confident, the threat of the fiscal cliff could dampen their optimism as the December 31st deadline approaches. Economists feel that without a resolution to the fiscal cliff issue, growth could remain below the annual 2 percent rate in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The Beige Book showed just modest increases in both wage growth and price increases, keeping a lid on inflationary concerns. Exceptions to this were in highly specialized fields where there is a shortage of qualified workers.
About The Lending Circle
The Lending Circle, a division of Sunovis Financial, works to address the great pent-up need for financing nationwide, and will help borrowers with their needs whatever they may be. Their broad network of lenders is positioned to provide capital where it can do the most good.

Willoughby Hills proceeding with plans for Veterans Memorial Park
A new park with accommodations to host community gatherings and other events is in the process of coming to Willoughby Hills.
First announced at the 2012 Memorial Day ceremony, fundraising for The Willoughby Hills Veterans Memorial Park is ongoing as the city starts a push to have the park ready for Memorial Day 2013.
"That's an ambitious goal, I know," said Willoughby Hills City Council President David Reichelt, who is the point person for the project.
Talk of adding a park with an amphitheater to the city's existing Veterans Memorial has been going on for a few years, but Reichelt said he initially encountered resistance from some veterans who worked on the memorial.
"We had a meeting of the minds and looked over some drawings and I think they saw it would just enhance the memorial not detract from it," he said.
After the initial announcement, the city came back again to the residents at the annual Veterans Day ceremony with an artists rendering of the proposed park and a donation flier. The rendering was created by John Davis, curator of the Willoughby Hills Community Center Art Gallery.
The park will be placed behind the current veterans' memorial on Chardon Road across from the fire station. The area is an unused sloped, grassy space.
"We've noticed over the years increasing interest in our veterans programs," Reichelt said. "Our attendance at the Memorial (Day) and Veterans Day events has been such that we haven't been able to accommodate crowd there very well. (The current memorial) has no seating ... people are either standing or bringing their own chairs."
The amphitheater will accommodate the needs of the holiday ceremonies and will also provide other uses throughout the summer months, including summer concerts, Reichelt added.
From the preliminary plans and rendering, the city will try to incorporate the park into the existing land. The benches for the amphitheater seating will take advantage of the natural slope to the land. A gazebo is also being considered. Continued...
"Attendees or visitors will be able to park in the community center parking lot and walk into the new park," Reichelt said. "They wouldn't have to park on the street anymore."
A rough estimated cost of the project is $30,000 while the city's finance department said it has received $4,300 in donations so far.
Funding for the project is mainly being sought through donation, but Reichelt said the city may use some of the money it receives from the final draws of inheritance tax.
"The inheritance tax money can only be used for capital projects and this is the perfect example of that," he said. "It must be used for a long-term gain for the city. It will be part of the (existing) memorial, and it goes with theme of inheritance taxes as well."
Those interested in donating to the project can print off a donation form from the city's website and return it and the donation to the Office of the Mayor, City of Willoughby Hills, 35405 Chardon Road, OH 44094.

Say something...
Great article on your evaluation of the all league voting, very interesting what is developing in Clark County, I think it's more than just a matter of a couple players transfering schools. Just called you to get the results of the Evergreen v. Skyview district Championship game. Keep reporting the facts.

I agree with UHSmom, the honorable mentions and maybe of equal importance, the academic excellence athletes as well. I know the honorable mentions have been listed in the past year's in some sports, but not sure about the player's that have been noticed for their academic achievements while playing a varsity sport also, as well as the teams that the State also recognizes for average GPA. These are also important to be promoted within sports, since they are "student" athletes, student being the primary objective.

Hello Tim~
I am a proud Mom of a Columbia River HS Varsity girls basketball player and am wondering about the All League Teams & Honorable Mentions? I noticed that the 1A,2A & 4A were posted, but not the 3A. River did not have a winning year, so to see recognition of our girls efforts is a wonderful.
I too am in agreement with the UHSmom & Ron Liebelt regarding Honorable Mentions & Academic Excellence. Achieving Academic Excellence while playing a high school sport requires a lot of our kids.
Thank you very much for all you do.

Quick run down so no one else has to watch that stupid shit:
USA Takes over North America, Mexico, and all of the Caribbean Islands.
Sets up a "State" Called Canada that spans the West Coast of British Columbia, down to California, and as far east as Arizona.
Mexico Stays Mexico.
All Criminals, Gang Members, Racists (I think), are sent to a Prison Colony in Southern California/Northern Mexico.
Somehow shuts off the water supply to Southern California/Mexico.
Bunch of stupid shit.
Forcefully spread the population (346,991,688 people) across the country, and order them into "self sufficiency", regardless of whether or not the land can actually sustain them or the fact that, if you destroy all city populations, except maybe New York and Vancouver as the video seems to suggest, that each person is now granted 0.04 Square miles to be self sufficient on. Except that number would have to be adjusted for the populations living in the "financial centers" of Vancouver and New York, and the percentage of land area taken by bodies of water...
Oh, and Gaelic is now the national language.
Enforce a Eugenics program to make us all better looking, and smart enough to understand Gaelic (I am not making this shit up).
Use the Caribbean Islands as a tourist trap, and relocate all of the military bases to the islands, "for strike forces".
Seriously, dude who made that video is fucking living in a delusional world filled with Leprechauns and Potatoes. Needs a straight jacket in the worst way.
This isn't a joke, this is madness.

When I was in Bocas del Toro, Panama, a couple of years ago, we ate at a place run by two fisherman.
You call them in the morning, they go out and catch your dinner (lobster or fish are your two options!) then that evening they pick you up on their boat and take you to their own private island where they prepare the day's catch! So awesome.Holy crap! What about the people that work there? Must they swim to work? And the food! How to they ship bucket loads of food to the restaurant? What about electricity? As a customer... I'm intrigued and would totally give this a go. As an owner... this sounds like a major pain in the butt!
ReplyDeleteMy mum and I went to Zanzibar (where this amazing Rock restaurant is) when I was 17 while we were backpacking through Africa...and my mum met her future husband on Zanzibar! My mum, step-dad, and little brother now take turns living in Brisbane & Zanzibar...
I am from Australia which is heavenly and has the most amazing beaches in the world, BUT Zanzibar is definitely heaven on Earth! Not just spectacular natural beauty, but the architecture & ruins & beautiful friendly people and the amazing culture and history! It is a photographer's dream. If you visit, be sure to head up to the North-West tip of the island to a place called Kendwa Rocks (my step-dad's home and it is HEAVEN).
You MUST go there!

Creation Science and the FACT of Evolution
by Frank R. Zindler
The Probing Mind, October, 1987
The Probing Mind, October, 1987
In the words of Harvard biologist-paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, "Creation science is an oxymoron." An oxymoron (lit., "a wise fool") is a contradiction in terms. Just as it is impossible for a fool to be wise, so too is it impossible for creationism to be science. Anyone concerned about the meanings of words must concur with Professor Gould in his judgment.
Because any intelligible use of the term creation must imply the existence of a creator, and because the creator of all of nature must be, quite literally, super-natural, we see that the fundamental force operating in "creation science" is a super-natural force - which is a polite term for magic. Science, however, involves the study of natural forces only, and ceases to be science when it attempts to explain phenomena by means of super-natural forces.
It should not be surprising, therefore, that creationists do almost nothing at all that even imitates scientific research [2]. Almost all their "research" is done in libraries, not laboratories, and all their "evidence" for creation is really nothing more than intentionally or unintentionally garbled evidence against evolution - as if they could prove the Genesis mythology by disproving Darwin!
As a matter of fact, most creationists are so devoid of any understanding of logic that it is not at all rare to hear one claim, "If I can disprove Darwin's theory of natural selection, the only thing left is the biblical theory."
At least three things are wrong with this statement:
(1) It confuses the question, "Has evolution occurred?" with the question, "What is the mechanism of evolutionary change?" Darwin's theory concerning how evolution takes place is but one of several attempts to account in natural terms for evolutionary change (descent with modification). Disproof of Darwin's theory, which identifies natural selection as the mechanism of evolutionary change would still leave other naturalistic (i.e., scientific) theories, such as the theory of genetic drift. It would also leave certain almost-scientific explanations, such as theistic evolution, which accepts the fact of evolutionary change but posits divine acts of alteration as its motive force. Of course, even if one could show that all available explanations for how evolutionary change occurs were incorrect, the evidences showing that evolution has occurred would remain.
(2) It falsely presumes that the Genesis creation myths (there are two!) are the only existing supernatural accounts of origins, and ignores the contradictions between these two accounts. Of course, every primitive culture in the world has produced its own account of human origins, and creationists are obliged, after they "disprove" naturalistic, evolutionary theories, to show that their own mythology is true. They must produce evidence that green plants existed before the sun was "created," and that all life and all of nature came into existence in six days. [3] They should show the superiority of their myth to the Native American story about Old Man Coyote and the Chinese myth of the cosmic egg. If they wish us to accept the notion that any type of supernatural account is to be taken seriously, they must be willing to show how the Jewish "theory" is superior to the Egyptian "theory" that the world began with masturbatory activity on the part of the sun god. Indeed, once they abandon the canons of proof standard in the natural sciences and allow the possibility of supernatural shenanigans, it would seem that they are obligated to show that all other mythologies known are false. However the logicians may come down on this question, the fact remains that the creation myths recorded in the first and second chapters of Genesis are but two of a myriad of such myths, and creationists must find evidence to support one or the other of the mutually exclusive biblical accounts. The burden of proof now rests with the creationists.
(3) It misuses the term theory. Creationists either use the term pejoratively ("evolution is only a theory"), or they misapply the term to creationism. In scientific usage, a theory is the highest form of scientific understanding. A theory is an explanatory hypothesis which has passed test after test, and is still the best available explanation of the facts in question. In the case of creationism, however, those components of the apology which can be tested (e.g., the idea that the earth is only six thousand years old and was covered by a shell of water in the year 2,348 B.C.E.) have been tested and found to be demonstrably false - showing that creationism is not a viable theory, because viable theories have to pass tests. On the other hand, those components of creationism which involve certain types of magical events (e.g., the divine creation of a young universe with all of its components bearing the false imprint of great age) make the claims of creationism untestable - making creationism not a theory at all, because theories must be testable!
We have pointed out that creationists confuse the question "Has evolution occurred?" with the question "What is the cause of evolution?" The scientific answer to the first question is, of course, "yes," and the answer to the second question (at least in part) is "natural selection." What logic and evidence leads scientists - and Atheists - to these answers?
The Logic Of Evolution
The conclusion that evolution has occurred is drawn from two simple observations:
Observation 1: Living things come only from living things. Spontaneous generation is not possible when living things are already in existence [4].
Observation 2: Fossil remains show that living things in the remote past were very different from living things today.
Conclusion: Life has changed through time (evolved).
A dramatic proof of the thesis that life has changed through time is seen in the fossil record of the vertebrates, animals having a segmented backbone. At the beginning of the Cambrian Period (570-500 million years ago), there were no vertebrates at all. Later in the Cambrian, problematic forms appeared which seem to have been related to the vertebrates, but showed distant affinities with the echinoderms as well. (Echinoderms today are represented by starfish, sea lilies, sea cucumbers, etc.; embryologically they appear to compose the phylum most closely related to the Chordata, the phylum to which vertebrates belong.) Toward the end of the Cambrian Period, the first vertebrates appeared: the ostracoderms, jawless fishes possessed of a bony armor plate and having flattened bodies apparently adapted to a bottom-feeding way of life.
According to the fossil record, vertebrates went without jaws for many millions of years. Finally, at the beginning of the Devonian Period (395-345 million years ago), the first fish with jaws entered their remains into the record in the rocks. At the very end of the Devonian or the beginning of the Carboniferous Period (345-280 million years ago), the first primitive amphibians arose. These fish-like animals differed from their air-breathing fish ancestors mostly in their elaboration of the bony structure of the paired appendages - converting fins into hands and feet - and in reinforcement of the structures attaching the paired appendages to the spinal column. The first reptiles did not appear until the last half of the Carboniferous Period.
To give the lie to creationist claims that there are no connecting-link fossils to join the vertebrate classes, the Permian Period (280-225 million years ago) saw the appearance of an entire order of animals, the mammal-like reptiles (Therapsida), which can be seen to change with time from typical, primitive reptiles, into primitive mammals. It was not until late in the Triassic Period (225-190 million years ago) that the therapsid-mammal transmutation was complete. Contrary to the first chapter of Genesis, which claims that the first mammals appeared on the earth a mere twenty-four hours after the first fish, the first mammals did not appear on earth until more than 300 million years of fish evolution had transpired!
Birds, which, according to both creation myths in Genesis, were created on the same day as fish, do not enter the fossil record until the Jurassic Period (190-136 million years ago). Representing an ultimate variation on the dinosaur theme, birds trace their descent from reptiles quite different from those ancestral to the mammals. Contrary to the claims of some creationists, evolutionists do not claim that reptiles evolved into birds, and birds evolved into mammals!
Even though the first mammals appeared in the Triassic Period, forms for which the English language has names would not appear until the late Cretaceous (136-65 million years ago), when opossum-like forms appeared, the Eocene Epoch (60-40 million years ago), when primitive whales originated, and the Oligocene Epoch (40-25 million years ago), when apes, monkeys, and primitive grazing mammals appeared.
The record in the rocks, thus, is evidence either for fishes evolving into birds and mammals, or it is evidence of thousands of successive "special creations" - magical replacements of successive faunas by slightly different ones. Curiously, the latter interpretation is as unbiblical as it is unscientific.
If either of the biblical myths were true, all types of vertebrates - living types of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes - would be found along with bacteria and trilobites at the very beginning of the fossil record and would be extractable from all rock layers of later ages. But of course, nothing could be farther from reality. The infamous "gaps in the fossil record," adduced by creationists as evidence against evolution, are actually a devastating refutation of the idea that all forms of life were miraculously zapped onto the earth at the same time!
The Logic Of Natural Selection
Since creationists in their attacks of evolution in general, and of natural selection in particular, usually obfuscate the scientific principles involved and generally substitute a straw man which is easier to ridicule, it is important that we state clearly just what it is that science has to say on the topic of how new species come to be. The modern ("synthetic") theory of natural selection consists of a tightly interwoven fabric of observations and logical conclusions drawn from them. In a nutshell, the structure of the theory is the following:
Observation 1: All living things tend to reproduce in geometric progression, so that if all offspring survived, the entire earth would be overrun by them.
Observation 2: In fact, however, the earth is NOT so overrun. The populations of various species remain approximately constant in size from century to century, due to the finite resources of the environment.
Conclusion A: There must be a competition for the available resources of the environment, a "struggle for existence."
Observation 3: Heritable variations (mutations) are observed to occur spontaneously, from time to time, in populations of all species.
Observation 4: In a given environment, some of these variations are helpful in the struggle for existence, and others are harmful or neutral.
Conclusion B: A natural selection of individuals will result. Those with helpful mutations will survive and expand in numbers, and those with harmful mutations will tend to perish and be reduced in numbers.
Observation 5: The source of inheritable changes is either (1) change in the sequence of chemical "bases" in the DNA molecules making up an organism's genes, (2) rearrangement of genes on chromosomes, or (3) multiplication or deletion of genes or chromosomes.
Observation 6: Physically and chemically speaking, there is no limit to the amount of base changing possible in DNA or the amount of gene rearrangement which can take place.
Conclusion C: There will be no limit to the amount of variation possible in any given species. Given enough time, and changing environmental conditions [5], mutation will add to mutation, and any species will gradually change into one or more new species. As mutations cause greater and greater cumulative change, and as sexual recombination assembles novel hereditary ensembles, species will turn into new genera, genera into new families, etc.
With the exception of the observations concerning changes in DNA and chromosomes as the source of evolutionary variation, the theory above was discovered by Charles Darwin in the middle of the last century. Darwin came to his theory grudgingly - he had originally been a creationist himself. But the facts of nature which he uncovered in his trip around the world on H.M.S. Beagle forced him to give up the Genesis mythology in favor of evolutionary science, and made him formulate the theory of natural selection.
It is not often remembered that Darwin was not the only person to discover the principle of natural selection. At the same time that Darwin was formulating his theory, Alfred Russell Wallace - completely independent of Darwin, and half a world away - was forced by his study of the plants and animals of the Malay Archipelago to conclude that evolution had occurred, and that natural selection was the motive force!
The lesson to be learned from this is that the facts of nature compel unbiased minds to conclude that evolution has occurred, and that natural selection is at least a part of the cause of evolutionary change. (Population size and genetic isolation of populations are also important factors affecting the degree to which evolutionary change will occur.)
As we examine the bizarre details of the Genesis creation myth, however, we must ask: Is it conceivable that any person not already aware of the first Genesis myth could go out into the world of nature and conclude that green plants came into existence before the sun? That birds existed before reptiles? Without knowledge of the second Genesis myth, who would come up with the idea that man is older than both plants and animals, but that woman did not come into existence until the last animal species had appeared? Without being brainwashed by the Noah's Ark tale, what geologist would conclude that the whole planet was covered by a shell of water 4,334 years ago? What independent observer would conclude that the kiwi, which can neither swim nor fly, came to New Zealand from Mt. Ararat in Turkey, but couldn't make it to Greece or Australia? Could anyone conclude that there was once a "firmament" in the sky -- with windows in it, and water above it?
Of course not. But we can be quite sure that even if the creationist legions of darkness should succeed in eradicating all knowledge of Darwin's theory, honest men and women of the future studying the facts of nature would discover it anew. This is because evolutionary science is science, and is true in the sense that it is testable and accords with the facts of nature. The creationist dogmas, however, are not science and - to the extent that they are testable - are contradicted by the testimony of nature.
Theistic Evolution
While it is nothing less than scandalous that creationist beliefs have survived into the Twentieth Century, we must also express our embarrassment at the fact that there are many people who, despite the fact that they are relatively well schooled in evolutionary science, believe in something known as theistic evolution. This is the view that evolution has, in fact, occurred, but it has been directed by a supernatural power. The long road from jawless fishes, to fishes with jaws, to amphibians, to reptiles, to mammal-like reptiles, to mammals, to Adolf Hitler or the Ayatollah Khomeini was, they must avow, all the unfolding of a divinely guided plan. Theists must accept the plagues produced by evolution as part of their god's plan. Not only can such a view be a bar to progress, it can be a direct road to madness of the type exemplified by the case of Simon "Stylites," the quintessential "saint" who lived atop a pillar until he developed maggoty, purulent wounds in his flesh. When a maggot got pushed out of one of the pullulating wounds in his body, he put it back into the wound and preached it a sermon. God had given the "worm" his flesh to eat, he admonished, and the creature should not be ungrateful!
The best thing that can be said about the theistic evolution idea is that it is not contradicted by the facts of nature. But of course, it could not be contradicted by any facts, if all the facts of nature are precisely what a god has ordained. Alas for the theistic evolutionists, this places the "theory" outside the realm of science, since scientific statements must be testable.
The idea of theistic evolution suffers from still another serious defect: it violates Ockham's Razor. This is the principle in logic that basic assumptions should not be multiplied beyond necessity. If natural forces alone are adequate to account for the course of evolution, why posit additional supernatural forces? Such forces are superfluous. It is simpler to stick with the observable, measurable forces of nature.
The idea of theistic evolution is associated, it would appear, with an emotional immaturity that makes men and women unable to accept the fact that they are probably alone in the universe, that they must find meaning and fulfillment among the comrades - both human and nonhuman - with whom they share the planet. Mature personalities can accept the world for what it is: uncreated and unconscious. Constrained only by the limits of the laws of nature, the mature mind may do all in its power "To grasp this sorry scheme of things entire," and then "remold it nearer to the heart's desire" [6]. Atheists know that cancer and tapeworms are not parts of a divine plan. Atheists are completely free to do something about such plagues - and they are doing it!
[1] According to Bishop Ussher's chronology, often printed in the margins of King James Bibles, this occurred in the year 4,004 BC. Recently, however, Ussher's chronology has been corrected by Eugene Faulstich, a creationist at the "Chronology-History Research Institute," in Spencer, Iowa. Using a computer, and ignoring various contradictory dates found in his bible, Faulstich has computed that the world began on a Sunday, 18/19 March, 4001 B.C.E.!
[2] Practically the only known apparent exception to this has been the ridiculous attempts of creationists to find fossil human footprints in the Cretaceous rocks of the Paluxy Creek-Glen Rose region of Texas. This work has been of such embarrassingly low quality that even the creationist leaders have been forced to admit that no human tracks have been recovered, despite the enormous numbers of bible-believers who have swarmed over the countryside, destroying scientifically valuable dinosaur trails in their quest for antediluvian traces of Homo Sapiens.
[3] Or in one day, if the second creation story in Genesis (Chapter 2, verse 4 et seq.) be the one believed.
[4] Life cannot originate spontaneously now for at least two reasons: (1) The oxidizing atmosphere rapidly degrades any organic compounds before they can aggregate to form prebiotic complexes with life-like properties. (2) Existing microbes and other life-forms consume as food any prebiotic molecules starting out on the long biochemical pathway leading to truly living systems. Neither of these roadblocks to spontaneous generation existed before life had formed. The oxygen in our atmosphere is placed there by photosynthetic organisms such as plants and algae, so the primordial terrestrial atmosphere was almost completely devoid of oxygen until these types of organisms arose.
[5] Without changing conditions, the rate of evolutionary change is likely to be slow and the extent of change small. This is because helpful mutations will often tend to be disbursed in large populations and because natural selection will tend to produce organisms optimally adapted - or nearly so - to particular conditions. In such circumstances, further changes arising will tend to be maladaptive, and evolutionary stasis (stagnation) will result. Only when circumstances change, and new "job openings" appear, will natural selection proceed rapidly to produce significant changes. The theory of "Punctuated Equilibria," an updated version of Darwin's theory universally misunderstood and misrepresented by creationists, holds that natural selection does not proceed at a slow, uniform rate. Rather, evolution involves long periods of little or no measurable change (stasis) "punctuated" by brief periods of intense changes - guided, of course, by natural selection.

Series: Evolution Basics
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.
A Perfect World?
Astronomy and geology give us clear evidence that the fundamental laws of nature have remained unchanged since the beginning of creation. Whatever the effects of the Fall, they do not seem to have changed the basic laws of physics.
Biological Evolution: What Makes it Good Science? Part 2
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.
Meet Jimmy Lin, "Medical and Scientific Doxologist"
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.
Genes, Cells, and the Changing Face of Technology, Part 1
Right on this tabletop, you could make materials that by current manufacturing processes would otherwise cause a great amount of environmental hazard … In 50 years, we should be able to do things in ways we don't do them now, that will be cheaper, less toxic, less polluting, more efficient, and so forth…
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
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."
Southern Baptist Series: Evolution and the Problem of Evil
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 3
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
The Questions Update: Did death occur before the Fall?
Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "Did death occur before the Fall?", revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma. This question provides an overview of the issue and points readers to more resources within and beyond the BioLogos website.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Becoming Human: New Insights from Genome-wide Functional Genomics
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
Series: Understanding Evolution: the Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 2
We have already discussed hind limb and hair loss in whales, and now we turn to one of the remaining questions: tooth loss in the lineage leading to modern toothless whales.
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.

SOURCE The Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP)
Internationally recognized institutions in the US, Portugal, Ireland, and France join GARP's Partnership for Risk Education.
NEW YORK and LONDON, March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Global Association of Risk Professionals, (GARP, www.garp.org) has announced the addition of six universities to the GARP Partnership for Risk Education. The Partnership for Risk Education is a framework through which academic institutions can ensure that their risk management course offerings are aligned with global industry needs and best practices. Affiliated schools incorporate the curriculum of one of GARP's globally recognized professional certifications, the Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) or the Energy Risk Professional (ERP®), into their courses of study.
The institutions new to the Partnership for Risk Education are: Dublin City University (Ireland), University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL, Portugal), North Carolina State University (US), Pace University's Lubin School of Business (US), Reims Management School (France), and the University of Colorado, Denver (US). "Joining the Partnership for Risk Education demonstrates these institutions' commitment to successfully preparing students to understand and apply the skills and techniques required by the global risk management profession," said GARP's Managing Director for Educational Programs, Chris Donohue. "We are delighted to welcome these new academic partners, whose Masters programs are aligned with the body of knowledge required for the FRM Exam."
These six schools have proven track records at the Masters level in finance, and partnering with GARP on this initiative is further assurance to students of the outstanding quality of their programs. "Risk management is a fast-evolving discipline, and GARP's academic partnerships play a critical role in educating the next generation of qualified risk managers," said FRM Program Manager Bill May. "The FRM curriculum is practitioner-driven and responsive to current marketplace needs. It is also extremely rigorous, covering issues in financial markets and products, quantitative analysis, risk models and valuation, and market, credit, operational and integrated risk management that impact organizations on a daily basis." There are currently over 26,000 Certified FRMs practicing worldwide; becoming certified entails clearing a two-part, eight hour exam and demonstrating two years of risk-related professional experience.

News Update
Plano City Council approves changes to allow farmers markets in city
By Bill Conrad,
on Twitter
Published: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 3:13 PM CST
Kari Gates grows a variety of standard and exotic produce on her small farm near Plano East Senior High School. Starting this spring, Gates will have a place close to home to sell her kale, Easter egg radishes and snake cucumbers.
Gates began the process of opening a market earlier this year, but found Plano regulations prevented markets from operating within city limits. Tuesday night, Gates got what she wanted when the city council unanimously approved changes to the food ordinance that will clear the way for farmers markets.
"It took almost 11 months, but we got what we wanted," Gates said. "We got a market and we will get a permit. It is a good day for small businesses and small farmers."
The market will be located at Fairview Farms, 3314 N. Central Expressway, and is tentatively scheduled to be open Saturdays from April to October. Gates and Scott Merner, the market's manager, said the eventual goal is to keep the market open year round.
"We are now going to direct our attention away from the food ordinance, and we are going to start paying attention to creating a viable, successful market," Merner said. "There are going to be a lot of citizens in Plano and the surrounding communities that are excited there is now a farmers market."
Several major changes were made to the food ordinance. Among the most important was changing the definition of a farmers market in order to allow not only produce but also items such as cheese, milk and meat. This, Gates said, will allow the market to be a one-stop shop for people who wish to meet the people who grew or raised the food they eat.
The most recent change was approved Tuesday, when Plano Health Director Brian Collins told the council that market operators would not be held liable for violations committed by vendors. Instead, the vendors will receive the fines, a decision Merner said was necessary for any markets to operate successfully.
Councilman Pat Miner chaired the committee made up of market supporters and members of the city's health department that ultimately came up with the compromise passed by the council. While the two sides were far apart when negotiations began, Miner said that is not what he focused on.
"The process was actually trying to find out what we had in common versus what we didn't have in common," Miner said, adding that everyone involved wanted to achieve the same goal. "I think once both sides got [to] talking they started realizing all the commonalities. The last point or two were resolved in the past week."
Miner said he was proud of the way the situation worked itself out, noting that city staff, the city council and the public all came together to create a solution that will benefit Plano for years to come.
"This may not be the only farmers market that opens in Plano," Miner said. "We were not trying to do this for one market, we were trying to look at the big picture. In the future, other markets that decide they want to open in the city will have a good base to operate from - and I think Kari's group played a big part in that."

Regional Police Report: Officer Charged in Burglary Resigns; Dog Shot and Killed, and More
The following is a selection of police related items from area Patches. Where an arrest is indicated it does not indicate a conviction.
Police Officer Resigns Amid Burglary Charges
Enrique Guzman, the Northbrook police officer who was charged with robbing a home while on duty last week, submitted his resignation from the department on Feb. 4, Village Hall announced.
Guzman "is no longer an employee of the Village," the release states.
According to Northbrook Village President Sandy Frum, the state's attorney asked village officials to refrain from commenting on the case while the investigation continues.
Guzman was arrested after the FBI placed three hidden cameras in a home he was dispatched to investigate, the Chicago Tribune reports. The camera footage caught Guzman entering a bedroom and pocketing a jewelry box with a fake diamond ring, which the FBI also planted, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The 34-year-old and 12-year police department veteran was charged with felony burglary while on duty last week.
A Palatine man is facing numerous charges, including a felony, for shooting and killing a neighbor's German Shepard early Friday morning, according to a press release from the Palatine Police Department.
Piotr Holy, 40, of the 1100 block of S. Brockway Street, reportedly killed the animal after it entered his backyard, according to the release.
Police found a deer carcass in the backyard during their investigation. Piotr told them it was there to lure coyotes, which he planned to intentionally kill with a .22 caliber gun.
Crystal Lake
Car Crash Leads To Drug Arrest
A Crystal Lake man was arrested for possession of marijuana after his car struck another car on Route 31 early Saturday morning, according to McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren.
Lazarus D. Larkin, 23, 240 E. Prairie St., was arrested and charged with one count possession of cannabis, one count possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, improper lane use and operating an uninsured motor vehicle, Nygren said in a press release.
Larkin was driving north on Route 31 at about 3 a.m. on Feb. 2, when he struck a car traveling southbound. After the collision, Larkin's car came to rest in a ditch on the east side of Route 31 near Gracy Road in Prairie Grove, Nygren said.
Chicago Man Charged With Armed Home Invasion
Police arrested and charged a 24-year-old Chicago man with home invasion, after officials say he forced his way into an Evanston home and threatened to kill the residents with a loaded gun.
Lamont. P. Hall, 24, of the 4900 block of South Prairie Avenue in Chicago, is charged with home invasion and aggravated unlawful restraint, both felonies, as well as aggravated assault, a misdemeanor. At the time of his arrest, he was out on parole from the Illinois Department of Corrections after serving three years of a six-year sentence for armed robbery.
Police responded to a 9-11 call about a man with a gun in the 700 block of Dobson Street just after midnight on Monday, Feb. 4. Hearing screams from inside an apartment, officers forced their way in as Hall ran out the back, according to police. Officers caught him as he attempted to run away, police said.
Charity Bilked $10,000 in Credit Card Fraud
On Jan. 31, an employee of a charity in Hattiesburg, Miss. contacted Niles police about questionable credit card transactions.
According to the report, the employee said the credit card number was used 12 times without authorization in Illinois towns between Nov. 30 and Dec. 2. Two of those, one for $195.90 at a store in the 9600 block of Milwaukee Avenue and one for $919.94 at a store in Golf Mill Shopping Center, occurred in Niles.
The 12 transactions totaled $10,413.13. The credit card holder has never been to Niles and did not lose possession of the card, police said.
Police: Hair Salon Bandit Charged with 11 Counts of Robbery
The Cook County State's Attorney's Office approved 11 counts of armed robbery against an Evanston man today. The announcement was made at the Skokie Police Department at 10:30 a.m.
Jason Logsdon, 41, of the 900 block of Chicago Avenue in Evanston, was charged with 11 counts of armed robbery, all Class X felonies. Police believe Logsdon is responsible for a total of 15 robberies, but the remaining four occurred in DuPage County. That county is still continuing its investigation, police said.

There are some real creeps out there. Shooting a dog? Robbing hair salons? What total & complete losers.
Jesus saves, just sayin.
7:52 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
perhaps the penalty for officers should be higher, considreing they have a unique opportuntiy to do stuff like this. There must have been more instances, otherwise they would not have arranged the set-up. Alot of creeps hide behind jobs- pedophiles hide behind teaching jobs, thieves hide behind police jobs, the list goes on.

I am disturbed by the citizen that is shooting animals in his back yard. Just because you own a gun doesn't mean it is ok or safe to go "hunting" in your suburban back yard!
8:42 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Killing animals is a huge red flag for mental illness. I'm glad this man was caught before he began killing people.
Angie Wallberg
7:55 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Even if he had shot a coyote, there is a law about firing a gun within 1,000 feet, (I think! ) of a building, so no matter what he shot, he was breaking the law. Sad that his victim was a pet.......
Angie Wallberg
7:59 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
I just checked, and it is 500 ft. from a house from any direction.....
9:54 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
The problem is that we don't have strong enough laws to protect people and their pets from Hunters. I urge anyone reading this article and feeling disturbed by this man shooting the GSD after he lured the Dog into his yard with the Deer carcas to write to your politicians and demand stronger laws to protect the public from Hunters. Did you know that Hunters only have to be 350 feet away from a street to shoot right at the street? Or another home? We are plagued will illegal hunters around pour property all the time and we do not have the laws to protect us.
10:30 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Palatine already has laws against discharging firearms inside city limits, thank you very much. That makes hunting of any kind illegal there.
Wherever it is that you live, there are already laws prohibiting shooting at the street or your house, but nice try at hysterical outrage. We really do have a mental health crisis in this country...
12:04 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Another soccer mom type who doesn't pay attention to their own ordinances where they live. Where do you people come from? if you are "plagued with suspected illegal hunters", then call the cops.
1:21 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
What is a stronger law? Its so typical when proven wrong on concept to never admit you back the wrong concept. Laws do not make bad people who use guns any less dangerous.
Angie Wallberg
8:01 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Illinois law says you cannot fire a gun within 500 ft. of a house from any direction. If someone is that close, they can be charged - so call the police every time!

Who has faith in our Springfield government to do anything capably. Lincoln would be very disappointed in what this downstate circus has become.
11:48 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Lincoln would have done like thousands of others are apparently doing. LEAVE ILLINOIS
12:25 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
I am moving this summer this state has some serious problems
12:41 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
This cop got off easy. They let him resign over being fired. Which means the next chump that hires him will have no knowledge of what happened at his last place of employment , leaving him open an free to screw the system at his new job.....great system !!!!!
4:58 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
This is not over for officer who was allowed to resign from the Department. I' m quite certain that once the states attorneys office completes their investigation he will be charged, and brought to trail. And with evidence they have, he will spend a number of years in prison. I know this for a fact because I was a police officer in a near by town where we had the same thing happen with one of our officers. I'm not certain but I believe he received between 8 and 12 years in prison. The judicial system has no mercy on "dirty cops" and rightfully so! And as far as him getting another job in law enforcement, forget it, because with all the background checks that are made on police applicants he could not get another police job. And lastly, have respect for the good cops who are out there daily laying their lives on the line to protect you and your community.
12:58 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
After 3 yrs of debating staying here or moving down south me an my wife have decided we have seen enough an are leaving. She is leaving june 15 after my daughter graduates from main south .

You have fun now, ya hear. I hear Missippi is real nice, (if ya don't mind too many coloreds). Education down south is top notch too. Not to mention how much money they take from the gubmint (oops, shouldn't had said that- don't wanna let the cat outa the bag). You have a real nice time.

Thanks Pete. IL is ugly. How many gov. have wound up in jail. Red light cameras and parking meters collect more money for these thieves to play with. In regards to the man in trouble for shooting a dog, bravo. He doesn't have a right to defend himself on his own property? German shepherds are attack dogs and coyotes are dangerous too. My land my rules.
Sandra Sims
7:36 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
He LURED the dog onto his property, genius. Please, Pete and Scott, leave IL. The average IQ will go up by double digits. Dear God, until the Internet I never knew there were so MANY low grade morons in this country. Scary.
Angie Wallberg
8:08 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Learn the law! First of all, he lured the dog into his yard with the deer carcass, which is bad enough, but Illinois has a law that says you cannot fire a gun within 500 ft. of a house, from any direction......maybe his property, but he he broke the law and should be charged accordingly.
Doug Daluga
10:35 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Not to mention that it sounds like he killed the deer out of season.
German Shepherds are attack dogs? Only if they are trained to be, or abused to the point that they're afraid of people.
"My land my rules." Good luck with that philosophy when you get to court.

COPS Stealing, cops racial profiling, cops not ticketing Bears football star for having over 30 underage drinkers in his house and one left to die on his lawn but fines other parents for less, Cops covering for a drunk driving judge, cops planting evidence in teenager cars, cops letting kids who terrorize women w/gun go b/c father is powerful, cops working w/prosecutor to keep innocent man in prison over 20 years ....not New at all. There are great cops who risk lives everyday and do the right thing. If the police chief is like the one in BlueBlood TV show then he listens to concerns and not punish the ones who brought the concerns. Good cops band together if you don't want to be tarnished w/those who are a disgrace to the profession ...because the TOP man stunk. This guy will find a job somewhere and do the same...don't know how we stop it.
1:37 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Scott funny thing u mentioned the guy shooting the dog. No i love animals , but i would do what i gota do to defend myself. An in illinos you cant defend ur self. My 2 neighbors down south are fighting cause the one neighbor shot an killed the other ones pit bull. Now the pit bull was in his yard an agressive. I guess the dog didnt die right away cause it ran home where it did end up dieing. An when the cops showed up , he said to the shooter next time u shoot a dog make sure you kill it cause you could be liable for vet bills. Now thats some old fashion justice that u just dont see here anymore cause illinois wants to control our every move. So let me say this before everyone one in here rips on me. I do feel bad for the dog but the owner needs to be responsible for it ,,,,,,,,
7:59 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
What? You should have the right to shoot someone else's dog if its in your yard? Does that apply to kids as well? And please, try to write as an adult would, rather than as a kid on Facebook or twitter. Thanks.
Dan Arenov
1:50 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Excellent job by the police in nabbing that hair salon bandit.
One of the articles that talked about this before mentioned that the authorities had not identified a motive...how about 'money'? Most serial robbers are in it for the money. Did you see this guy? Was he hitting hair salons so he could steal styling gel? I don't think so. He was hitting hair salons because they were staffed by women or men who may as well be women.

Glad you get in a little homophobia there. Feel better now?
Swapna Baumann
1:53 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
@Pete..I agree w/you ..the owner is responsible for his pet. I have a dog, I love him to bits, I keep him on a leash and I prevent him from jumping on strangers unless they want to pet Leo and ask my permission. I have seen other pet owners let their pets run w/o leash, they don't pick up after the pets even though our village provide bags and garbage cans conveniently. These pet owners are pests. A pitbull can be sweet but trained to be aggressive. Owner should have protected his dog so he is responsible for pet death. I myself wouldn't have been so quick to kill but called the police about a dog in my yard. Neighbors had trouble pet paid for it..one was too quick to shoot..wasn't necessary unless dog was going to maul someone. Irresponsible pet owner + shoot happy neighbor = innocent dead pet. SAD
8:01 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Yes, sad for the dog who was killed for being a dog. So many guns and so many fingers just itching to pull the trigger.
Swapna Baumann
5:35 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
@dan I had friends profiled. My background didn't cause me too much problem, a bit at work but never by cops. I have had no problem ...BUT...just because it never happened to me doesn"t mean I don't disagree with the procedure. I feel it is a civic duty to advocate for those who have suffered even if U were OK. Like I said there are MANY MORE good cops than bad..but the latter like a bad apple can stink up the basket if it ain't removed. Are U a Cop? I have relatives who are Cops, and also friends who are Cops and ex-Cops. Hope I have answered your question. Have a Great Day
6:32 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
The cop resigned right away to try to save his pension -- just like Drew Peterson. The way the state can really hurt these guys is, when appropriate, by charging them with the charge of Official Misconduct, and insist on not pleading it down. That way, a conviction will deprive him of his pension and the state won't be stuck paying annuities to convicted felons.
7:54 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
@ patch in reguards to sandy sim , since when do you allow people to launch personel attacks an name calling.shame on you for letting that one get by you. An sandy sims arent you on disability ? Yea another winner screwing the system ,,,,, ;,)
8:15 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
I do see the Low IQ problem in this country. @ sully an sandy sims when in my comments do u see me saying anywhere that i approve of shooting someones dog that comes in your yard. I didnt but apparently thats what you two read , talk about IQ status . An sandy the story didnt say he used a dear carcus to get domestic animals into his yard again thats what you took from the story. An sully as far as me writing like im on FB thats just me. Im not trying to be a proffesional writer. Its just a comment board pal relax.....
8:36 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Yes Pete, it is. If you want one to take you seriously however, you may want to at least look like you've had some education. My apologies if you missed the point. I would try to explain, but I don't have that much time.
stick to the facts
8:17 pm on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Fedup...I'm sick of your response, regardless of his actions he still paid into his pension and to pass judgement of another is shocking! I believe every individual who has left a comment, has ever held a position of a peace officer, been put in that very same situation and could say they would have done differently.....spare me your opinoins and stick to facts
Vicky Kujawa

I love dogs, but I would shoot one if it wandered into my yard and threatened me or my kids. Is something missing from this story?
Frank Lopez
11:53 am on Sunday, February 10, 2013
Hey Vicky, what would constitute a threat that you would need to use deadly force? Is barking a threat? It is a slippery slope as one could make the argument that if a neighbor, or their kids, came in their yard and was "threatening" than you could use deadly force as well. I wouldn't want to see anyone shot, neither a dog or person. Until we know the whole story here, no reason to rush to judgement and claim to be ready to shoot anything that is threatening in our yards.
12:06 pm on Sunday, February 10, 2013
@ frank , i think everybody is comenting of the story i told about my 2 neighbors in tennesse , an in that case yes the neighbor who shot the dog was in the right . He had asked the other neighbor deveral time to contain an control his dog because the dog was agressive an he has kids that play outside . The neighbors response was we are in the country an we wont put up a fence nor do we have to leash our dog . So after pleading with the owner of the dog several times he eventually shot the dog after the dog wandered in his yard an showed aggression while it was approaching him an his kids. By all rights this neighbor did what he had to do . If you own a pet be responsible , i have 3 dogs all of which are leashed when not in my fenced back yard. My dogs have never ever goten out . As far as the guy in the patch news letter we dont know the whole story. , but yes the guy does sound like an idiot .....
Frank Lopez
1:49 pm on Sunday, February 10, 2013
Thanks Pete. Just curious what constitutes aggression. If someone shot my small dog for stepping on a neighboring lawn for what they deemed as aggression, we would have a huge problem. This is the issue as I see it...What would stop a neighbor from saying that a child, or adult, on their property was showing aggression, thus, shooting that child or adult? This is a slippery slope. Bottom line, good fences make good neighbors! Thanks for clarifying the story Pete.
