Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner offered Republican House Speaker John Boehner a proposal to avert an end-of-the-year fiscal cliff that would trade $1.6 trillion in tax increases for $400 billion in unspecified entitlement program cuts, a Republican aide said.
The proposal calls for a permanent increase in the U.S. debt limit that would avoid the need for congressional action, said the aide, who wasn�t authorized to speak publicly.
The plan was modeled on Obama�s budget proposal from February and includes at least $50 billion in economic stimulus spending for the current fiscal year, according to the aide.
After meeting today with Geithner, Boehner was dismissive, saying President Barack Obama must �get serious� about the fiscal cliff talks. Democrats haven�t offered �real spending cuts,� said Boehner, an Ohio Republican.
Still, the speaker said he remains �hopeful� about talks to avert more than $600 billion in spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to begin in January. Geithner, Obama�s lead negotiator, met separately today with each of the top four leaders in Congress in their first direct talks since Obama hosted the leaders Nov. 16 at the White House.
Republicans swiftly rejected the proposal. Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri said in a statement, �If the president is going to lead on this critical issue, he has to propose a plan that can actually pass. This is simply not a serious proposal.�
Entitlement Programs
Republicans are seeking overhauls of entitlement programs such as Medicare in exchange for accepting higher tax revenue. They want a higher Medicare eligibility age and an alternative yardstick for calculating inflation that would reduce Social Security cost-of-living adjustments, according to a Republican aide who wasn�t authorized to speak publicly.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said today that Obama has made his position clear and that Democrats need a proposal from Republicans on what sort of spending cuts they want.
�This doesn�t have to be a cliffhanger,� House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California told reporters. �The Senate has passed a bill to extend the middle-income tax cuts,� she said. �Why are you holding this up?� she said, referring to Boehner.
Geithner�s offer, as described by two Republican aides, is based on Obama�s fiscal 2013 budget and his 2011 proposal to the deficit-cutting supercommittee, which was unsuccessful last year in coming up with a plan all sides could accept.
Top Earners
It would raise taxes on top earners by $1.6 trillion over the next decade with higher rates on income, capital gains, dividends and estates, along with limits on tax breaks. It would call for about $400 billion in cuts to entitlement programs, which Republicans have deemed insufficient.
The plan would either extend or replace a payroll tax cut that is due to expire at the end of the year, according to the Republican aides. In addition, it would defer by a year the federal spending cuts scheduled to start taking effect in January.
The administration hasn�t taken a public position on the extension of the payroll tax cut, which reduces employees� share of the tax for Social Security to 4.2 percent from 6.2 percent. The current break, which started in 2011, expires Dec. 31.
Debt Ceiling
Geithner said in a Nov. 16 Bloomberg Television interview that the U.S. should abolish the debt ceiling, arguing that it enabled the threat of default in 2011. �The sooner the better,� he said.
The proposal seeks infrastructure spending similar to what Obama proposed in September 2011 in his American Jobs Act, which included $50 billion for roads, rails and airports and $30 billion for schools.
The Congressional Budget Office has warned that if Congress doesn�t avert the fiscal cliff, the economy might slip into recession next year and boost the unemployment rate to 9.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 7.9 percent now.
At a briefing today, White House press secretary Jay Carney responded to questions about Republican complaints that the administration wasn�t offering specifics by holding up a proposal Obama presented in September 2011.
Carney said the plan �is very detailed� in how the White House would make cuts and �It is of a piece with his budget that he put forward in February 2012.�
�In terms of where we are missing specifics is anything specific, politically feasible, or substantial from the Republican side on revenues,� Carney said.

QRW (Quick Release Weaver) mounts use an adjustable double-lever mechanism to lock the rings securely into the base. You simply rotate the levers to achieve a lock. The spring-loaded levers can be "parked" by pulling each lever out, disengaging it from the locking screw. This allows you to adjust the levers to the desired position. Then, just release the levers back into the spring. QRW rings are engineered to retrofit any existing cross-slot base, thus converting existing mount bases into a quick-detach system.However, for the kind of fail-safe, return-to-zero performance that's typical of Leupold Detachable Accuracy Mounts, they recommend that your team QRW rings with QRW bases.Barcode: 030317498641Warranty: Full lifetime guarantee.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Big chunks of blackout-plagued Manhattan have gotten their power back this evening.
Con Edison says the lights went back on around 5 p.m. for around 65,000 homes, apartment buildings and businesses on the Lower East Side and in the East Village.
The utility says it still can't give a timetable for when service would be back for the rest of the area.
Much of the southern third of Manhattan has been dark since Monday evening.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a midday news conference that he hoped power would be restored to most of the borough by midnight.
Con Edison says it is trying to meet that deadline. However, power must be brought back slowly to avoid burnouts, fires and overloads in the system.

Plum Dancer Performs on 'Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition' Finale
Miranda Maleski and three other Pittsburgh-area dancers took the stage.
Four Pittsburgh-area dancers showcased their talents on national television earlier this week. During Tuesday evening's finale of "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition" on Lifetime TV, Plum native Miranda Maleski—along with dancers John Fiumara, Taylor Ackerman and Jesse Johnson—performed a routine to Blues Saraceno's "If You Believe." The dancers were featured as alumni from the Abby Lee Dance Company, the newly-famed Penn Hills dance studio featured on Lifetime's show, "Dance Moms."

I would say one of the best ways to guard against SQL injection is to use the excellent PEAR DB package. If you prepare() and execute() your queries, PEAR will automagically addslashes and handle the query depending on your RDBMS. And of course, for repeatable queries prepare and execute will give you a bit of a readability and speed increase.
Sécurité des bases de données
- Schéma de base de données
- Connexions au serveur de base de données
- Modèle de stockage avec chiffrement
- Injection SQL
De nos jours, les bases de données sont des composants incontournables des serveurs web et des applications en ligne, qui fournissent du contenu dynamique. Des données secrètes ou critiques peuvent être stockées dans les bases de données : il est donc important de les protéger efficacement.
Pour lire ou stocker des informations, vous devez vous connecter au serveur de bases de données, envoyer une requête valide, lire le résultat et refermer la connexion. De nos jours, le langage le plus courant pour ce type de communication est le langage SQL (Structured Query Language). Voyez comment un pirate peut s'introduire dans une requête SQL.
Comme vous pouvez le réaliser, PHP ne peut pas protéger vos bases de données pour vous. La section suivante vous introduira aux notions de base pour protéger vos bases de données, lors de la programmation de vos scripts PHP.
Gardez bien cette règle simple en tête : la défense se fait par couches. Plus vous ajouterez de tests pour protéger votre base, plus faible sera la probabilité de réussite d'un pirate. Ajoutez à cela un bon schéma de base de données, et vous aurez une application réussie.
About offloading business logic to views and queries facilitated by the database engine, I seek to avoid this as much as possible, and only do so when such would drastically improve efficiency and user response time.
For instance, where I am there is database staff and application staff. Trying to do analysis on existent applications can easily become a snipe hunt.
The database should be kept discreet as much as possible from the application, such that any database or database provider can easily be substituted with a minimum of cognitive effort on the part of the one setting up a new database. If functionality has been offloaded to the database, additional testing is required to make sure triggers and views were done correctly, again, and that they work right.
Also, keeping all business logic with the application allows all functionality and documentation to be readable in one place, which is invaluable when doing subsequent analysis on an existing application. The worst thing is to have functionality scattered here and there.
Keeping everything with the application means one group of people is responsible, as in my case, application staff. Fewer requests go back and forth. Remember, anytime someone else is brought into the picture, such as asking a DBA to create a view or trigger for you, that DBA must take responsibility over his or her work, with whatever requirements, causing more bureaucracy and administrative complexity.
SQL injection could be prevented by inserting only base64_encoded data into the data base. Before searching the data base for a certain value or string base64_encode the search string and then start the query.
The posting below is at the very best extremely POV.
There is no more reason to assume you would want to change database vendor than there is to assume you might want to port your php code to Java for example. In either case, its going to be a matter of luck where your business rules sit.
Even if your business rules sit in your application, SQL is NOT portable. Oracle outer joins and pivot queries for example, can look completely different to those in other vendors software (particularly from 8i or lower). This fact alone means that changing your DB vendor requires work on your business rules either in the database or in the application.
Having your rules in the database and keeping the sql in application simple, will at least keep the work in the database if you need to change DB vendor. If you have the rules in the PHP, you'll have to change both.
Regarding where to put logic, it's really best not to be dogmatic about this. Putting logic in the db can have some security advantages but it has other security gotchas (for example, SQL injection inside a stored procedure may be possible in some environments). Similarly it can have some portability advantages and disadvantages.
The real question is that you want to ask what you want to be portable. If you put it in the db, it becomes easier to integrate programs written in different development environments with a minimum of security gotchas. If you put it in the application, then you have to create the interfaces on that level in middleware. Both approaches are doable. On the other hand if you are writing software you want to be deployable in MS SQL shops and Oracle shops, then you have to write portable SQL (avoiding gotchas) and put the logic in the application.
When we started rewriting the LedgerSMB codebase, we decided to move logic into the db because this would make it easier to retrofit security onto a very insecure codebase (by not trusting the application), and because we wanted to support languages other than Perl. A few years later this is bearing fruit and indeed I am reading the manual because I am writing integration libraries in PHP. I am not much of a PHP guy (I haven't programmed PHP since PHP 4.x) but I can write modules that let folks write code to interface securely with LedgerSMB's database logic. You can think of the stored procedures as being named queries which are shared between applications, or as API's to the database. But again, this approach is not universally applicable.
If portability between db's is not a major requirement, then I think the best approach is to do as much as possible in SQL queries and put those in the database. A couple hundred lines of SQL can replace a couple thousand lines in Perl or PHP, and is fundamentally easier to debug. Of course that won't work for everyone.
you can also chamge CHMOD for some file containing "user names" or "passwords"
On a database design point of view, you should make sure that you design databases in a manor that any query run from them need minimal input from the user and if it requires user input, that you encrypt where possible.
Encrypting user input doesn't do much to guard against SQL injection attacks. Naturally, you want to encrypt sensitive information across the wire, but if a user puts in malicious data into an input field, any encryption scheme will just dutifully unpack it at the other and and still run the SQL injection hack if you haven't guarded against it.
Encryption is not magic pixie dust to sprinkle on things to make them more secure.
you can keep your database vendor portable by using an encapsulation class such as adoDB for php or other framework like zend, codeigniter/cake/symphony,
it will add more header to the processing power (debatable) but it will far reduce the time to develop the app, and the DB.

Revolution crushes Crunch, brings new fun in rousing season opener
Photo courtesy of Zac Oldham - Emory reports on the game from the press box at the Allen Event Center.
By Emory Oldham, Guest reporter
My dad and I were back at it again for another fun-filled sports night together. Thursday evening, Feb. 21, we attended the first game of the season for the newest professional team in Allen, Texas. If you haven't heard of them yet, you will!
I am so excited that indoor football is now played at the Allen Event Center. The Texas Revolution is our team and the indoor game is really exciting to watch.
Dad and I arrived at the game early, like we always do, and we went straight up to the press box. I always think it is really cool to get to go to the press box, so I don't want to waste any time. I visited with the play-by-play guys for a few minutes and ate some fajitas that were waiting for us. Thanks Uncle Julio's!
Dad had been to several indoor football games before, but this was my first. I did not know what to expect. The Texas Revolution took control of the game right from the start. We really have an awesome team. They scored more than 60 points and it wasn't even halftime yet!
The game was filled with long passes and big tackles. Instead of out-of-bounds lines, indoor football just has padded walls. This made for some unusual catches and tackles with players crashing into the walls. Also, since the fans are so close to the field with only the short walls separating them, many times the players would get tackled just inches from them. Many lucky fans were also able to catch the balls that went into the seats as well. Unlike many other games I have been to, if you catch the football you get to keep it. They must have had 100 balls ready, because it seemed like they kept going into the stands!
The halftime show was also really cool. There was a world record holder who rode a really tall unicycle and flipped bowls up in the air and caught them on her head. The crowd gave her a standing ovation as she flipped bowl after bowl on her head while riding at least 10 feet in the air on the unicycle. After she was done the crowd was surprised by the entire Texas Revolution team running to the center of the field. The music got loud and the entire team started dancing to Gangnam Style. Dad and I were cracking up and the crowd was screaming with excitement. Dad thought it was nice to see that they knew how to have fun.
The final score of the game was 103-22 with the Texas Revolution winning. You would think that the players would have been worn out after scoring that many points, but instead they invited the fans down to the field to take pictures and get autographs. I took several pictures with different players and got autographs from both the players and cheerleaders on my new Texas Revolution shirt. I saw several fans getting their footballs signed that they caught during the game. Next game I'm sitting down close to the field and I hope to get lucky and catch a ball myself.
I am very thankful to have been invited to enjoy the first game of our new Texas Revolution team and I look forward to hanging with my dad again soon on the sidelines. Maybe I will see you there!

Castelli Tenerissimo 2 Women's Knickers
- Item: CST2503 Claimed Weight:"Claimed Weight" is an unconfirmed weight provided by the manufacturer. 129 g
Sale from $76.97
If you step outside this winter, and your eyes don't immediately water from the cold, then it's knicker weather. There's no need to suffocate your legs with full-length tights if Old Man Winter is only a little grumpy. So, when you get a welcome break in the bone-chilling monotony of winter, slip on the Castelli Tenerissimo 2 Knicker for your ride. Featuring an anatomic cut made from proprietary fabrics, the Tenerissimo 2 will provide your legs with the ideal temperature for those base miles.
Castelli's Tenerissimo 2 Knicker is made from Castelli's popular Thermoflex fabric. Thermoflex gives you the benefit of having lightweight, stretchy bib tights that warm like a light jacket on your legs and fit like you're off to the races. Thermoflex also features a fleecy inner lining that traps a layer of warm air on your skin while it wicks away moisture to the quick-drying Tenerissimo surface. This process provides a consistent warmth and dryness that you'll appreciate when it's in the 40s. Castelli added extra comfort by incorporating a breathable mesh back and the women-specific Kiss3 Donna chamois. The chamois uses a seamless construction of brushed microfiber to avoid any chafing, and the pad is anatomically shaped to follow your movements. The Kiss3 Donna also features a variable density design with more padding where you need it and less where you don't. To ensure a precise, no-slip fit, the Tenerissimo uses silicone ankle grippers that have been paired with camlock zippers.

Little Brother
Long lines of cars. BART stations lined up around the blocks.
People swearing at ATMs that wouldn't dispense their money because they'd had their accounts frozen for suspicious activity (that's the danger of wiring your checking account straight into your FasTrak and Fast Pass!).
I got home and made myself a sandwich and logged into the Xnet.
It had been a good day. People from all over town were crowing about their successes.
We'd brought the city of San Francisco to a standstill. The news-reports confirmed it — they were calling it the DHS gone haywire, blaming it all on the fake-ass "security" that was supposed to be protecting us from terrorism.
The Business section of the San Francisco Chronicle gave its whole front page to an estimate of the economic cost of the DHS security resulting from missed work hours, meetings and so on.
According to the Chronicle's economist, a week of this crap would cost the city more than the Bay Bridge bombing had.
The best part: Dad got home that night late. Very late.
Three hours late. Why? Because he'd been pulled over, searched, questioned.
Then it happened again. Twice.
Chapter 9
This chapter is dedicated to Compass Books/Books Inc, the oldest independent bookstore in the western USA. They've got stores up and down California, in San Francisco, Burlingame, Mountain View and Palo Alto, but coolest of all is that they run a killer bookstore in the middle of Disneyland's Downtown Disney in Anaheim.
I'm a stone Disney park freak (see my first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom if you don't believe it), and every time I've lived in California, I've bought myself an annual Disneyland pass, and on practically every visit, I drop by Compass Books in Downtown Disney.
They stock a brilliant selection of unauthorized (and even critical) books about Disney, as well as a great variety of kids books and science fiction, and the cafe next door makes a mean cappuccino.
Compass Books/Books Inc
He was so angry I thought he was going to pop. You know I said I'd only seen him lose his cool rarely? That night, he lost it more than he ever had.
"You wouldn't believe it. This cop, he was like eighteen years old and he kept saying, 'But sir, why were you in Berkeley yesterday if your client is in Mountain View?' I kept explaining to him that I teach at Berkeley and then he'd say, 'I thought you were a consultant,' and we'd start over again.
It was like some kind of sitcom where the cops have been taken over by the stupidity ray.
"What's worse was he kept insisting that I'd been in Berkeley today as well, and I kept saying no, I hadn't been, and he said I had been.
Then he showed me my FasTrak billing and it said I'd driven the San Mateo bridge three times that day!
"That's not all," he said, and drew in a breath that let me know he was really steamed.
"They had information about where I'd been, places that didn't have a toll plaza. They'd been polling my pass just on the street, at random.
And it was wrong! Holy crap, I mean, they're spying on us all and they're not even competent!"
I'd drifted down into the kitchen as he railed there, and now I was watching him from the doorway.
Mom met my eye and we both raised our eyebrows as if to say, Who's going to say 'I told you so' to him? I nodded at her. She could use her spousular powers to nullify his rage in a way that was out of my reach as a mere filial unit.
"Drew," she said, and grabbed him by the arm to make him stop stalking back and forth in the kitchen, waving his arms like a street-preacher.
"What?" he snapped.
"I think you owe Marcus an apology." She kept her voice even and level. Dad and I are the spazzes in the household — Mom's a total rock.
Dad looked at me. His eyes narrowed as he thought for a minute.
"All right," he said at last. "You're right.
I was talking about competent surveillance. These guys were total amateurs.
I'm sorry, son," he said. "You were right.
That was ridiculous." He stuck his hand out and shook my hand, then gave me a firm, unexpected hug.
"God, what are we doing to this country, Marcus? Your generation deserves to inherit something better than this." When he let me go, I could see the deep wrinkles in his face, lines I'd never noticed.
I went back up to my room and played some Xnet games. There was a good multiplayer thing, a clockwork pirate game where you had to quest every day or two to wind up your whole crew's mainsprings before you could go plundering and pillaging again.
It was the kind of game I hated but couldn't stop playing: lots of repetitive quests that weren't all that satisfying to complete, a little bit of player-versus-player combat (scrapping to see who would captain the ship) and not that many cool puzzles that you had to figure out.
Mostly, playing this kind of game made me homesick for Harajuku Fun Madness, which balanced out running around in the real world, figuring out online puzzles, and strategizing with your team.
But today it was just what I needed. Mindless entertainment.
My poor dad.
I'd done that to him.
He'd been happy before, confident that his tax dollars were being spent to keep him safe. I'd destroyed that confidence.
It was false confidence, of course, but it had kept him going. Seeing him now, miserable and broken, I wondered if it was better to be clear-eyed and hopeless or to live in a fool's paradise.
That shame — the shame I'd felt since I gave up my passwords, since they'd broken me — returned, leaving me listless and wanting to just get away from myself.
My character was a swabbie on the pirate ship Zombie Charger, and he'd wound down while I'd been offline. I had to IM all the other players on my ship until I found one willing to wind me up.
That kept me occupied. I liked it, actually.
There was something magic about a total stranger doing you a favor. And since it was the Xnet, I knew that all the strangers were friends, in some sense.
> Where u located?
The character who wound me up was called Lizanator, and it was female, though that didn't mean that it was a girl. Guys had some weird affinity for playing female characters.
> San Francisco
I said.
> No stupe, where you located in San Fran?
> Why, you a pervert?
That usually shut down that line of conversation.
Of course every gamespace was full of pedos and pervs, and cops pretending to be pedo- and perv-bait (though I sure hoped there weren't any cops on the Xnet!). An accusation like that was enough to change the subject nine out of ten times.

Loveybums offers covers, all in ones, fitteds, prefolds, training pants, doublers, and much more!
Loveybums is different than most other diaper companies, just by looking at a few of their products you will see why. Many of their products come with an individual artistic touch, no cookie cutter cloth diapers!! Your baby can rock a tie dye diaper or perhaps a hand painted diaper! They also make recycled tee-shirt diapers and offer custom embroidered diapers. I the fact that Lil has a unique diaper that meets our "unique" style! I had the privilege of reviewing a print organic velour diaper, and I am so excited to share their products with you!
CLOSURE- Snaps, and snap over tabs.
MATERIALS- Cotton knit outer, and organic velour inner with Sherpa hidden layer.
INSERTS- Snap in contoured insert with 2 layers of organic cotton, and topped with organic velour.

Talk about girly!! I LOVE how girly this print is! We had the opportunity to review the retro flowers print that comes in a beautiful violet color!
Besides the adorable print and organic fabrics, the fit is amazing! Having a snug fitting fitted diaper is a must to prevent leaks and to fit nicely under a cover! The ruffled edges around the legs and back prevent major blow outs, and the contoured insert makes for a trim fit. We always use fitteds for night time diapering, and this one passed the test! The snap in insert feels thinner than others, but it is super absorbent! We paired this diaper with a super brite cover, and Lil woke up with dry jammies. I found the sizes to be true sizes, and our medium fit perfectly under small covers. I told you it was trim!!!

CAPITOL HILL UNITED NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING Transcribed from Thursday, January 6, 1972 tape recording of Board meeting with We have been kicking an idea around for a number of people about the idea BQ ^ would like to split for a discussion into two parts, First of all a description of the mechanics of how it works, and secondly, funding * how to get funding off the ground - how to make it goj thirdly, programming . The idea is that ' ~ * h °°°P this I the neighborhood group incorporate a nQUBXns maintenance and solieite memberahipa initially among bmtie owners in the capitol hill area. We would charge a yearly fee which would range from - an option - either charging a stx'&ighfc annual fee o£ $2$*00 o? having a sliding scale fee anywhere from $10.00 to $5o.0u* Jefc shoot initially for membership of around 2,0.30 home owners.

Ed Sibert were going to talk to a fellow J1m Tv.omg, professor of industrial saionce at Colorado State, Ft. CoIlUns, ae!s the head of of construction management * ixe gave us the idea after we recruited the membership, sending around senior students in construction management and possibly in consumer science. # # lfthis is the new fancy title for it Home Sc (home economics)... sending them around to the member's homes to do a room by room maintenance check * like a 6 month check - they would do a room by room check and then ait down with the home owner and work on a budget for home maintenance that would be well withing the home owners income* ••"and their desiresff#.. .and their desires and would be catering especially to the individual home owner. Then in the cooperative contacted the meantime we would have acquired what ideally, an old# semi- retired carpenter/contractor with a wide range of experience in the building trade ~ a sort of jack*of«alletrades with good contacts and good reputation to take up the job of forming maintenance crews*

Domestic energy customers who receive a poor service from their energy supplier might be likely to switch gas and electricity providers.
According to Consumer Focus figures, five of the Big Six energy suppliers saw their number of customer complaints fall in spring, with Scottish and Southern Energy garnering the fewest complaints about its service.
April recorded the lowest number of grievances made to the industry Ombudsman, Consumer Direct and Consumer Focus' Extra Help Unit, which could be because of the three bank holidays in the month.
However, the number of complaints made about EDF increased in the spring quarter and the supplier was awarded the lowest position of the six major energy companies by Consumer Focus.
Npower improved its service rating by one star, having been handed three stars in the April to June period, up from two stars in the first quarter of the year.

Ok so while camping KA i keep my new account at zoneline for vbelt since none of our guys need it usually. Anyway I see alot of anon tarus zone in to jugner and instantly disappear, cant target or anything. So i started /sea for them once i caught a name i could spell fast enough.
They seem to be POSing in a loop from Selbina>Valkurm>La Thiene>Jugner > davoi. nothin special right? but they make the entire trip and are back in selbina in under 3 minutes everytime. Im not trying to start a crusade or anything just genuinely curious what they could gain by doing that? They hit no delivery boxes or mog houses or AH zones. just constantly running this loop over and over. Im sure theres more loops they run in other zones maybe they just do these to get GM attention away from ones makin money? Any of you guys noticed something similar? I can try and get some SS of /sea all with timestamp on if you guys want.

Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Does Evolutionary Psychology Explain Why We Believe in God? Part 1
When we look across times and cultures and find very similar beliefs concerning the nature of physical, biological, and psychological reality, those similarities cry out for some explanation. Since these different individuals have a very diverse range of experience, something other than common experience alone just might account for the similarities of belief. In some cases we can fairly conclude that there is a common nature – some fundamental similarity in how human cognition works – that underlies broadly shared beliefs.
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Series: Shaping the Human Soul
In Washington DC, Church of the Advent teamed up with The Trinity Forum to offer a series of lectures exploring the synergy between modern science and Christian Faith. This presentation by psychiatrist Curt Thompson and philosopher James K.A. Smith addressed the process of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation through the lens of neuroscience.
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.
Dispatches From the Physicalist Frontier, Part 1
I'm a physicalist when it comes to human persons. I believe, in other words, that we are wholly physical objects. I don't believe there are non-physical souls in the natural world. So I don't believe that we are or have such non-physical souls as parts. I believe we are through-and-through physical.
Rediscovering Human Beings, Part 1
That we are animals is something we hardly needed Darwin to tell us. It is obvious from the fact that, like other animals, we have stomachs and skin, eyeballs and ears, limbs and teeth, muscles, brains, and other organs. Yet it doesn't follow that we are mere animals.
Body and Soul, Mind and Brain: Pressing Questions
"Bit by experimental bit," writes philosopher P. Churchland, "neuroscience is morphing our conception of what we are." For many, this includes dispensing with the "soul" in favor of biologically anchored processes.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Southern Baptist Voices: A Response to John Hammett, Part 1
The Scriptures teach that we human beings have been created in God's image. What does that mean? I am in substantial agreement with Dr. Hammett on this question.
Adam's Dream
While the specific "how" of our being made into the image of God will probably always remain a mystery, the Bible and creeds are clear on the "why" of our creation: we were made to worship the Lord, and be in relation with Him and each other.
Series: He Who Has Ears
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
NPR'S Adam and Eve Story
All science can say is that there was never a time when only two people existed on the earth: it is silent on whether or not God began a special relationship with a historical couple at some point in the past. This subtle but extremely important point was missed entirely in the NPR story.
Thomas Aquinas: Saint of Evolutionary Psychologists?
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was the foremost Christian scholar of the High Middle Ages and is today regarded as a "doctor" of the Catholic Church. No, Aquinas was not a materialist neuroscientist, but he understood the intimate interdependence of mind and body.
Series: Science and Faith at the Movies: AI
In this series filmmaker Brian Godawa looks at the Stephen Spielberg movie A.I.. Godawa begins by summarizing the plot of A.I., explaining that a boy robot, raised in a human family, goes on a quest to find a mythical blue fairy who he believes will convert him into a "real boy." The author goes on to highlight the philosophical and theological issues raised by the film, such as "the idea that we all live in a materialistic universe" and that meaning does not exist in reality but is rather created by complex machines.
Form and Content
A theological belief can grow in our minds unobserved for years, the results of many imperceptible influences, until the full flower bursts into conscious thought.
BioLogos and the June 2011 "Christianity Today" Editorial
The editorial, in other words, has shown that in their view mainstream evangelical Christianity and mainstream science can co-exist in harmony. There are still many details to be worked out and much conversation lies ahead, but there is reason for optimism.
Distinctions: "Ancestry"
What does it mean to be human? For the Christian, the answer is complex. In part, it is a reflection of being created in the image of God. But does the science of human evolution pose a threat to that uniqueness?

• Omorewo Oshe of Hinsdale, an eighth-grader at HMS
• Kendall Reichmann of Hinsdale, an eighth-grader at HMS
• Katie Broz of Clarendon Hills, an eighth-grader at CHMS
• Gavin Wagner of Clarendon Hills, an eighth-grader at CHMS
"These awards identify and honor middle and high school students who set the example for their contemporaries in academics, athletics, the arts and community service," said President Rich Barton.
The Rotary Club of Hinsdale meets weekly at 12:15 p.m. at the Community House in Hinsdale. The club, founded in 1959, consists of men and women of diverse backgrounds whose personal commitment to service ranges from support of local youth programs to assistance for the poor and sick across the globe.

MSBS-5,56 rifles will have name "RADON". Works for me
MSBS-5,56 rifles will have name "RADON". Works for me
RADON (MSBS) It almost certain winner for a new rifle for the army, as Iraq and Afghanistan finally opened eyes of brass that you cannot go any further with AK and it's clones. Yet SF still buy foreign weapons (mainly HK) and probably will buy it for next few years as RADON will mature. But for regular grunts RADON will be probably next weapon.
Let me remind you that Radon wich will be in hands of Polish soldiers is not egsisting yet so don't judge how it looks, it's only shooting model wich has not much common with finnal version.
There was a competition for a new name. Finals have been published in 4th ed. of "Strzal" magazine:
It took FNH about five years to take the SCAR from prototype to production. You don't want to rush these things or you end up with a mess like the Chinese QBZ 97 that the Chinese rushed into production so fast even the lead designer was unhappy with the production rifle.
I think it is just a proposal from the manufacurer side (the same situation with P99D called by Fabryka Broni unofficialy "Rad"), not an official name of the new assault rifle. We have the same situation with sniper rifle from OBRSM - the factory name was "Alex", but the military designate is "Bor", so... there is A CHANCE that a new weapon IF the MSBS-5,56 WILL be introduced to the Army WOULD got this name, but it is still not sealed yet.
why are you so sceptical? IF, WOULD?
Nice reply Remov ! Is anyone in Poland working on optic sights for the MSBS ?
Has the design progressed since the photos that came out at the beginning of the year ?
Needs some remodeling on the outsides for sure but sounds interesting I'll have to look out for some more info on this
yes, the whole thing is now being redesigned.
how can you already know it is failed if you did not see the current redesign?

Can man create his own reality? Is the reality we know reality at all? Can artificial intelligence take on a life of its own, and if so, should that life be held with the same respect that we hold each other? These were all improbably difficult questions to answer at the time both films in this week's Reel Rumbles were released, but as technologies advance, philosophies change, and life goes on, it's as if fate is starting to force our hand for legitimate answers. No matter where you stand on either side of the moral conundrum, you have to admit that this week's pairing asks questions of such depth that it is uncertain if the films themselves can adequately grasp the breadth of it all. But all philosophical meanderings aside, which of these sci-fi extravaganzas is the better film? Plug in, boot up, and sign on. It's time for Blade Runner vs. The Matrix.

Today was a good day.
It wasn't the best day but it wasn't the worst day either. It was the day of the swimming carnival at my kid's school and this year was the very first time that Harley has attended. It's been the 3rd year that he has been old enough to go but I had no success in even getting him there in past years, so his attendance alone was a cause for celebration.
He announced to me on Monday morning that he would like to catch the bus with his sister (Ella) and so I reluctantly signed the permission slip. I was proud of him but I admit that I was also a little uneasy. Don't get me wrong – I'm all for helping him to stretch his comfort zone a little and I think it's good for him to try new things but if I was to be completely honest, I was a little nervous having him experience so many new things at one time.
- Attending the carnival for the first time.
- Catching a bus with lots of other children.
- Surviving a crowded, noisy smelly environment for 6 hours straight with no escapes or safe corners.
But I prepared him the best that I could. And yesterday afternoon I had a chat to Ella and asked her if she would please text me at intervals throughout the day to let me know how her little brother was doing because *I* needed to know that he was surviving.
She promised she would and true to her word, she updated me every hour with messages like this:
God bless her - she is such a gem of a child.
So after receiving Ella's second text, I decided to go for a long drive and I blasted my favourite music in the car singing along loudly at the top of my voice. Simply: because I could and it's something that I LOVE doing!
Playing any music at ALL is a luxury that I don't get to indulge in when Harley is in the car, so today I made the most of it and rocked it out big time.
And I may or may not have belted out some Kelly Clarkson, Alanis Morisette and just a bit of Katy Perry – you know – power songs and all that, but I digress….
But today was just what I needed. I had a great day doing whatever the hell I felt like and managed to refuel myself enough to be able to tackle any surprises that the afternoon may or may not have in store for me.
And thank goodness that I did.
Because when I watched Harley alight from the bus and walk towards me hand-in-hand with his big sister, my heart lunged into my shoes. I knew the face that he was wearing all too well. I could read the anxiety, fear and fright in his eyes and knew that he was trying so hard to hold it together. Bless him. I also knew that we only had limited time before the cork was released from the bottle so-to-speak and that I had to act fast. The rumblings of an explosion were there…. He was moaning quietly and pushing his head into my side. He was flailing his arms around floppily so I grabbed his little hand and headed for the office to sign him out early.
But Lucas wouldn't leave. He wanted to change out of his swimming gear into his clothes and was refusing to come to the car with me. He started to pitch a fit and I didn't want another upset child on my hands so I sent him to the bathroom with Ella to change. But they weren't fast enough and Harley couldn't hold it in any longer.
So mother and son sat on a step together away from prying eyes while my little boy broke his heart. Tears ran down his cheeks as he alternated between cuddling into me and thrashing uncontrollably. He WANTED to be close to me but he just COULDN'T. His body was fighting him and his entire sensory system was out-of-control. I did what I could but knew I had to ride it out. Eventually he calmed enough for me to carry him out to the car and take him home to his safe place.
It was hard on me to drive home watching him wipe away his silent tears out of the corner or my eyes, but I still couldn't get over the immense sense of pride that I had at that very moment seeing how far he had come.
My boy achieved so much more than I would have ever thought possible today.
- He pushed past his own discomfort to display great sportsmanship by going along and cheering on his friends and classmates even though he himself is a non-swimmer.
- He dealt with a different format for the day and with not always knowing what was coming next or where his teacher would be at any given time.
- He caught the bus like the rest of the kids and went to a pool that he had NEVER been to before and did all this KNOWING that there would be loud noises, lots of kids and strong smells to contend with.
He has gone from a child who refused point-blank to even consider attending the swimming carnival only 12 months ago to a child who achieved SO MUCH personal growth today. And this Mama is so SO proud of him.
And for the record; I am not trying to teach my son to conform, to be like all the other kids or continually expose himself to situations that cause him so much pain and displeasure. Nor am I trying to change him into a 'normal' child. I am encouraging him to recognise what I have always known about him and that is that not only will he succeed in life but he will excel.
He can do anything that he puts his hand and mind to and he is amazing, strong and courageous.
And that's no different to what ANY parent wants for their child is it?
