Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Why Do More Homeschoolers Want Evolution in Their Textbooks?
"Many homeschool parents contact me or show up at my office and quietly say, 'Is there anything besides Young Earth Creationists?'"
Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Evangelical Homeschoolers Ask for Accurate Science
… whatever their reason for homeschooling, evangelical families who embrace modern science are becoming more vocal about it—and are facing the inevitable criticism that comes with that choice.
Framing the Conversation
When Christians discuss creation, evolution, and design, it is easy to focus immediately on areas of controversy and disagreement. We think it is important to start by pointing out certain areas on which nearly all Christians agree.
Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
The Lesson of Grace in Teaching
I want to talk about my biggest life lesson, that is deep and profound, and continually reshapes the way I approach my students: Your accomplishments are not what make you a worthy human being. And you learn this when someone shows you grace, good things you didn't earn or deserve but you're getting them anyway. Because grace gives people dignity they don't have to earn.
Series: God and Creation
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A Tale of Two Worldviews: Being a Biology Teacher in a Christian School
The first challenge for me at the beginning of each school year is to clarify the students' understanding of evolution as it has been taught in their Bible and pre-requisite science courses. Invariably, they come back with the same answer: "Evolution is a lie," to which I respond with, "Which aspects of evolution are you talking about?"
Raising Children to Pursue Truth
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Worshiping, Growing, and Learning
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
Evolution and Creationism in America's Biology Classrooms
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
Southern Baptist Voices: And in Conclusion . . .
My goal in leading this organization for these past three and a half years has been to lay the groundwork to help my fellow evangelicals see that the conflict between our faith and mainstream science is not as great as they thought it was. In the process, my thinking has been significantly shaped by listening to people who think differently than I do
What I Would Like To Hear A Young-Earth Creationist Say
It may come as a surprise that when asked by The Colossian Forum what one thing he would like to hear Young Earth Creationists say, his answer had nothing to do with scientific statements at all. Rather, his hope is to hear a single simple phrase: "We're both part of the same family."
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Conversations in Creation
Since the BioLogos/Highway Media collaboration From the Dust made its worldwide debut this year, we've been excited to hear how others have been using the film to jump start their own conversations with fellow Christians about science and faith .

Sail-World.com : Columbus's ships, Nina and Pinta, sail America again
Columbus's ships, Nina and Pinta, sail America again
'Replicas Pinta and Nina, visiting America, one port at a time' .
Morgan Sanger started a project of reproducing the three ships sailed by Christopher Columbus to America in 1992 as part of the 500th anniversary commemoration of Columbus' voyage. Now he and his son Stephen are proudly sailing replicas of two of Columbus's ships, visiting various ports in the United States to educate young Americans on their history.
Their mission is to 'bring history to life' by visiting one port at time. The father and son are captains of the Pinta and Nina, replicas of the ships on which Christopher Columbus sailed on his 1492 voyage.
The ships pulled into one of the ports, Pensacola, this week with dozens of onlookers gathered to welcome them. 'You realize how tiny they are compared to today's ships. To realize that people came across that huge ocean in such tiny ships and helped to build our country, it is just an amazing thing,' said Jim Taylor, a Pensacola man who was among those watching as the vessels made their approach in Pensacola Bay.
Spectators watch the two ships arrive - .. .
'These ships aren't much bigger than shrimping boats we use today,' Taylor said.
The Nina is an exact scale replica, at 65 feet long by 18 feet wide. The Pinta is slightly larger than its famous namesake.
The Sangers are from the British Virgin Islands, and Morgan Sanger's inspiration to build the ships stemmed from his time working at a shipyard there in the late 1980s. The original plan was to finish the three replicas in time for the 500th anniversary of Columbus' journey.
'It was a wooden boat shipyard where we repaired very expensive yachts. We got this idea for the quincentennial to build the ships, all three ships from 1492.' Morgan Sanger said.
However Sanger says funding became a problem and he no longer has plans to reproduce the third ship in the fleet — the Santa Maria.

The Chilean government has promised a speedy investigation into a viral video of its naval cadets that has offended three neighboring nations.
The amateur video shows a bloc of cadets running on a public street, repeating the cadence of their instructor: "Argentineans I will kill; Bolivians I will shoot; Peruvians I'll behead."
Chile is not at war with any of the countries.
"Without a doubt, they are shameful images," Chilean government spokeswoman Cecilia Perez said. "These types of actions do not represent the good relations that our country has with the fellow countries mentioned, and the peace Chile has always wanted to achieve and maintain in our region."
Historically, Chile has had rivalries and disputes with its neighbors. Landlocked Bolivia lost its access to the Pacific Ocean to Chile in a war, for example, and it continues to fight for a sliver of coast.
"Chile is a country that generates controversy in the region without justification, behaving in a way that does not foster confidence-building or peace in South America," Bolivia's defense ministry said in a statement.
The incident violates Chile's allegiance to the tenets of the United Nations and Organization of American States charter, the ministry said.
In a radio interview, Argentina Defense Minister Arturo Puricelli called the video "truly unacceptable."
He said it may be an isolated incident, but he expects a swift resolution from Chile.
Chile's defense minister gave his subordinates 24 hours to uncover what is behind the video.

For Immediate Release
Ray Manzarek & Roy Rogers 'Twisted Tales' CD Now Available!
"In our last meeting together before his passing, Ray and I were both very excited about the upcoming release of 'Twisted Tales'. We signed off on the artwork and agreed that it should be released sooner than later. So, honoring that decision, I have proceeded with the release. We both were proud of this recording and hope that people enjoy it. This recording is dedicated to Ray's memory" - Roy Rogers
Nevada City, CA - Ray Manzarek and Roy Rogers have received no shortage of kudos since they first recorded together five years ago. Ray Manzarek's signature keyboard sound was a cornerstone of The Doors - one of the most iconic rock bands of the 60's. An inductee into the R&R Hall of Fame - he certainly needs no introduction. In the pantheon of music, The Doors' music continues to be one of the most revered rock song catalogs of any band. Slide guitarist Roy Rogers has been lauded not only for his own recordings but for his long-time collaboration with harmonica master Norton Buffalo as well as his producing of 4 CD projects for blues icon John Lee Hooker and folk legend Ramblin' Jack Elliott. He is well known worldwide for his mastery of slide guitar and has received 8 Grammy nominations for his work as artist and producer.
In 2011 Manzarek-Rogers released 'Translucent Blues'- a blues-rock collection of songs tinged with poetry and literary references. The project reached #1 on the Americana Roots chart and debuted at #6 on the Billboard blues chart. The lyrical contributions came from such diverse co-writers as Jim Carroll, Warren Zevon and poet Michael McClure, among others. 'Twisted Tales' draws from some of those same writers to tell very different stories. Featured musicians are Kevin Hayes on drums, formerly with the Robert Cray Band; Steve Evans on bass who has performed with the Elvin Bishop Band; and George Brooks on saxophones, who has performed with John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain.
The new release is a collaboration of keyboard and guitar sounds that merge with stories, images and art. These two amazing musicians create an intoxicating; plush sound that is - more than unique. Manzarek and Rogers are seemingly an odd pairing - but their new recording unleashes a stunning musical landscape for the listener - this music will 'take you for a ride'… There is a full-length documentary film to be released examining their unique collaboration and friendship in depth this fall.
'Twisted Tales' is destined to become a classic, not only as Ray Manzarek's last recording, but also as a definitive work of two great artists. Available at www.manzarekrogersband.com/ Amazon and iTunes and retailers nationwide.

Modal Transformation
I made this track to attempt to use the Locrian mode. It's a mode that is not really used much and can sound depressing and for funerals. I didn't fully succeed, but overall tried to center around the 7th scale tone and only diatonically move up and down from there. At the time drum samples weren't working, so I did this without drums.
off-world [Space Edit]
Most of this one is traditional except for the beginning, which uses a whole tone scale to try to create an "other-worldly" feel. A whole tone scale is just a scale that does not have any half steps (on a piano roll each note is two steps from each other). The whole tone scale's tonic center is transient based on where you decide to resolve (the last note played in a phrase).
Brutal Relationship
I wrote this with two ideas in mind. First was to utilize the C7 b9 as a basis for melodies and arpeggios. The C7 b9 is a soul stealing chord that has just the right dissonance to it. The other idea in mind was to simulate some of the techniques used by Liszt as a way to embellish the presentation of the chords.
Harmonious Chrome
This track was made after reading about bi-tonality. I created a few phrases that emphasized two tonal centers at the same time in order to create dissonance and tension. The tension then resolves as the tonal center is reached again. It was impossible for me to handle doing total chromatic harmony or full bi-tonality, but this was a fun romp into the concept.
So now please feel free to link to your experimental tracks and let me know what you did whether with sound design or otherwise. It's always fun to explore new options and sometimes the results are better than we expect.

Sadly the NJ Ren Faire is over for this season and we want to thank everyone so much for letting us be a part of the magical world of Crossford. We had an absolute blast. More kind and gracious comments from patrons and players than we could hope to count! Wow! Thank you!
Thanks to all who came out to Stingaree and hung out with us. The locals took to us right away. As we took to the task of tuning all of the instruments, a man setting at the front table approached the stage and stated "I already like you two dickheads". It was later assured that this was in fact a complement and that we were accepted amoungts the Beach folks. We also got the nicest note on a napkin telling us we are too loud. Way more pleasant than the cops being called... again.
Sam leaves for his solo tour this coming week, so if you are in the midwest be sure to look at the schedule and catch him when he is near your area.
In a bit of unfortunate news, The Red Fox in Baytown has shut is doors and the tour kick off nor the Wayward June show will be taking place. This was a shock as it was the "Home base" venue for the Sons. Chef Rob was very supportive of the local music scene and we greatly appreciated his passion for food and music. He has stated he has plans in the works for a venture in the near future.
Upon Sam's return from the midwest the final push to complete the first ever Wayward Sons full length studio album will be top priority. The gig schedule is pretty light for this very reason. Shows should pick back up in August and early fall with a fresh new album on hand. So keep on that Facebook and Twitter for the very latest information!
Until then...

The radio edit of Tipp'DJ's CAVALCADE (The Evening Lust Mix) is now on Tipp'DJ's Official YouTube Channel.
It has been a long haul, but nearly four months after a horrific injury which required surgery and pins to repair a fractured knuckle and two broken fingers on his left hand, Brian Jablo is on the mend and is actively working on recovering strength and dexterity in his fretting hand!
As a result, Kick Bricks is back in rehearsals, knocking off the rust and preparing for several scheduled summer shows. While there is still work ahead and hurdles to be surmounted, the band has sounded great and everyone is in high spirits. Several new tunes are being developed and old tunes are being reworked. Brian has been on guitar, bass and keyboards, and with each passing day he continues to get stronger. Hopefully soon, he will be able to pick up his mandolin again!
Thank you to everyone for your support and well wishes during this haitus. Hope you enjoyed some of the free downloads; there is more to come eventually, but for now we are looking ahead to more great times to come!

About a year ago, I had plans to work on getting enough fans to try to do a charity drive. It seems I have not been able to get there yet. But that will not stop me from continuing to try. It just means I will be trying with smaller more incremental goals.
To begin, I will start another project to produce an album. The first part of this will be to find some new inspiration and revisit old influences. I also will be spending time practicing and learning to produce the best product I can.
I am going to research best options for releasing the album so that the majority of the proceeds will go to charity. Fandistro.com is a site I am looking into currently as it seems to have a nice model that can not only help with a charity drive, but also allow others who share my music to get a piece of each sale. Additionally I may be able to get metrics that could allow me to give a prize to the one who gets the most distributions/sales (a special t-shirt for example).
So please get the word out that arche3.0 is about charitable music. I have already given more than half of my current sales to charity even before recouping my own expenses. This time I want to do a more directed charity drive as well as spread the word about my music.

The Right Thing |
Brothers and Sisters!
Are you all enjoying the Sunshine?! I certainly am. I forgot just how cool London is in the Summer, with the park life mentality and all that. There is no country like it, that's for sure. Love it.
But it's not all been about kicking back and sunning myself in Victoria Park! Oh, no. I've been busy and I'll bring you up to speed about it all.
Firstly, I'd just like to thank all those that have recently discovered me, either through gigs, Reverb Nation or friends. The comments and messages you have sent are huge to me and mean everything. It's seriously why I love doing this, as I know what it's like when I hear a song that connects with me, so to have my songs do the very same thing to others is very special indeed. So, please keep sharing the love, digging the tunes, telling your friends and coming to the gigs.
So, where did we leave off?
I think I had the gig at The Miller Bar. Well, that was, er, interesting. Thanks to those that enjoyed my tune. Not exactly the gig I was expecting, I certainly wasn't ready to be hearing Disney tunes amongst other stuff, but it's all part of the tapestry of this game I guess and at the very least made me smile...a lot!
The recordings are done, the music is being mixed and this will be a bit of a long process now I think. I shouldn't think that the EP will be ready till the latter part of the Summer and what with some very exciting news soon to be confirmed, I may even hold back a little longer! We'll see. I think if I was to hold off though, I will still put out a couple of other tracks I've done to keep everyone (including me!) happy!
If you happened to be about in the early hours of Sunday Morning in Soho, you may have stumbled upon little old me doing a photo shoot. I was getting the artwork done for the EP on Berwick Street and boy did it turn out good! I won't tell you the concept, because it's a surprise, but we did manage to get some other press shots done which will be available to be seen soon. Special thanks goes to the talented team: Martin Hobby on Camera machine, Jeanine Jones on Model Duty and the wonderful Sam Easey for doing the make up...I had been up all night with no sleep, managed to last for 48 straight hours and so let's just say I was slightly haggered. Make up was an absolute MUST for my face!
There are a couple of new "The Couch Sessions" videos up which I have actually had no time whatsoever to promote at all, so if you are reading this and want to help, please spread the love and share it on Facebook, Twitter and all the other stuff you cats do! Love ya!
Some of you know I've been offering my spare time to work with charities as a songwriter and I've been doing stuff with disadvantaged children across the world. It ties my passion for music and travel perfectly and is something that I have found to be hugely rewarding. The Sing Me A Story foundation has recently requested that I become a part of an Inner circle of songwriters, dedicated to terminally ill children across the world and I am absolutely honoured to take the position.
I am also working with The Performing Arts departement at The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and playing music to Cancer and HIV patients whilst they have treatments and I think it is a wonderful initiative to be involved with. So, if anyone reading this wants to help out, donate or find out more about these great charities, please drop me a line and I will happily put you in contact with the right people.
This Saturday I'm playing the Foodie Festival on Clapham Common, so get yourselves down as it is not only going to be food and music but it is set to be a scorcher, believe!!

POMEROY — Hundreds of children turned out Saturday afternoon for the annual Easter egg hunt sponsored by the Pomeroy Merchants Association held on the Meigs Enrichment Foundation's ball field near Meigs High School.
The Easter bunny (Aaron Dunham) was there to greet the children and Soul Harvest Church youth, representing the area Prayer Task Force, presented a playlet telling the story of Christ from birth to death on the cross.
Hotdogs were served to the children attending and each one finding one of the more than 2500 eggs hidden on the field qualified for a prize. The field was divided into three sections for the hunt — preschoolers, kindergarten through second grade, and third, fourth and fifth graders.
Large Easter baskets were presented to the finders of the golden eggs, one of which was hidden in each section. The winners were Brogan Wamsley pre-school, Timberlyn Templeton, kindergarten through second grade, and Chasity Jones, the older group.
Again this year Jenni Dunham was chairman, with Dan Short as president of the Merchants Association as co-chairman. The event has been held for many years at the Pomeroy football field, but this year had to be moved to another location because of sewer line replacement work taking place on the field.

Missy Franklin and her Team USA swimming pals are hugging and smiling as they walk out of the pool. They sure have this whole celebration thing down pat. Franklin, Rebecca Soni, Dana Vollmer and Allison Schmitt set a new world record of 3:52.05 in the 4x100 medley relay on Saturday night, beating rival Australia by nearly two seconds. The Americans have dominated in the pool in these Olympics, racking up 29 medals so far. That's as many as any other three nations combined. The four stars embraced after their record swim, laughing and raising their arms in another victory. There was never any doubt in this race, as the Americans jumped out to a big lead early and blazed to a convincing victory. — Jon Krawczynski — Twitter http://twitter.com/APkrawczynski ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.

This is the story of the Japanese prisoner of war camps on the island of Taiwan (Formosa) during the Second World War and of the men who were interned in them.
It seems that many people know about the hardship and suffering of the POW's working on the Death Railway in Thailand and Burma, but few know about the "hell-camps" of Taiwan. We hope to tell the story of the suffering and deprivation endured by the POW's so that all will know - and hopefully never forget!
Our site contains descriptions of the prison camps, a detailed list of all the former prisoners, an honour roll of those who died, and the story of the
Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society.
Be sure to mark the week of November 6 – 13, 2013 on your calendars and in your date books, and plan to be with us for this great annual event which features visits to the former POW camps, a POW banquet on November 9th and the Remembrance Day service at the Prisoner of War Memorial Park at Kinkaseki on the 10th.
We hope that former POWs and their families will make an effort to come as we have a special program prepared for these guests. If you are interested in attending, and for more information, please contact the Society by email or mail (please see the "contacts" page). Hope to see you in November!
On Monday November 12th, 2012 at 2 pm the Karenko POW Camp Memorial was dedicated by the Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society, to honour and remember the men who were interned there in WWII.
The memorial is located in a garden at the entrance to the Military Police Base in Hualien city - the site of the former camp from August 1942 to June 1943. The camp held most of the highest-ranking officers of the captured Allied armies from the Philippines, Singapore, Malaya, Hong Kong and the Dutch East Indies. Also interned there were the governors of all of the Asian colonies the Japanese conquered on their thrust through the region from December 1941 through May 1942.
The memorial is open to the public for viewing. Just drive to the entrance of MP Base, park along the street and walk in to view the memorial and information sign. Below are several photos taken during a visit to the site in February.
Also, please see the Karenko Camp listing on the "Camps" page for more information on the camp and photos of the memorial dedication ceremony.
It seems that the re-election of the Liberal Democatic Party (LDP) in Japan last December has once again ushered in another era of denial of former atrocities and the desire to alter the facts of history concerning the treatment of POWs - both military and civilian, the so-called "Comfort Women" aka Sex Slaves, and the millions of Asian people murdered, raped, tortured and countries plundered during WWII.
In the past few months since the election, statements made by returning Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and other ministers clearly indicate that a return to the LDP's previous extreme right wing policies of denial of the atrocities so well documented through historical records in countless archives worldwide, on the internet and from so many other sources, will once again form the government's stand on these critical international isssues.
Despite several "personal" so-called apologies made by former prime ministers in the 1990's and a few efforts by the government - particularly in the past few years, to placate some of the former British, Australian and American POWs with visits to Japan as so-called attempts at reconciliation, the basic policies of the Japanese government have remained unchanged since WWII. The simple truth is that Japan has never made a formal and offficial acknowledgement and apology to the world for its actions and the atrocities it committed in the Second World War!
Also, the "private" apologies made to only specific groups of Allied POWs such as the Canadian Hong Kong Veterans, and a few American ex-POWs in private meetings and conventions, by no means constitutes an "official" apology for the atrocities committed all across Asia against tens of thousands of POWs and civilian internees and the Asian people.
In addition, the apology made in the Japanese Diet several years ago - and then only after it was proven by actual WWII records found in Japan that former LDP Prime Minister Aso's family had used POWs as slaves in their mine, and despite the numerous previously repeated denials by the then PM - was still not really an "official" government apology.
Now Abe and the LDP want to roll back even those supposedly "sincere" apologies made by well-meaning PM's in 1993 and 1995, signalling a falling back into the ways of Bushido and the whitewashing of the truth of history once again.
This also negates the attempts made over the past several years by the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) to try to reverse the former right wing policies and acknowledge Japan's past WWII history, come to terms with it and make overtures of reconciliation, with seemingly genuine efforts being made by the foreign ministry to make amends for the past. Now all this good will soon be undone when Abe and his new government have their way.
The following is an article published in the NEW YORK TIMES on January 2, 2013. It is only one of a number of worldwide media reports pertaining to this hot and very important subject of Japanese acknowledgement of their past war crimes and crimes against humanity which have never been properly and truly acknowledged and apologized for.
January 2, 2013 - EDITORIAL
"Few relationships are as important to stability in Asia as the one between Japan and South Korea. Yet Japan's new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, seems inclined to start his tenure with a serious mistake that would inflame tensions with South Korea and make co-operation harder. He has signalled that he might seek to revise Japan's apologies for its World War II aggression, including one for using Koreans and other women as sex slaves.
In 1993, (click to see article) Japan finally acknowledged that the Japanese military had raped and enslaved thousands of Asian and European women in army brothels, and offered its first full apology for those atrocities. A broader apology by Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama in 1995 (click to see article) conceded that "through its colonial rule and invasion," Japan had caused "tremendous damage and suffering to the people of many countries, particularly to those of Asian nations."
In an interview with the Sankei Shimbun newspaper, Mr. Abe, a right-wing nationalist, was quoted by Reuters on Monday as saying he wants to replace the 1995 apology with an unspecified "forward looking statement." He said that his previous administration, in 2006-7, had found no evidence that the women who served as sex slaves to Japan's wartime military had, in fact, been coerced. However, at a news conference last week, the chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said that Mr. Abe would uphold the 1995 apology but hinted he may revise the 1993 statement.
It is not clear how Mr. Abe, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, might modify the apologies, but he has previously made no secret of his desire to rewrite his country's wartime history. Any attempt to deny the crimes and dilute the apologies will outrage South Korea, as well as China and the Philippines, which suffered under Japan's brutal wartime rule.
Mr. Abe's shameful impulses could threaten critical co-operation in the region on issues like North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Such revisionism is an embarrassment to a country that should be focused on improving its long-stagnant economy, not whitewashing the past." (End of article)
PM Abe seems to think that the US will always be Japan's ally no matter what, but observers are watching very carefully to see how the US will handle these latest outbursts of Japanese denial and alienation based on its treatment of WWII history and its failure to make a sincere and truthful apology for its actions in WWII. As well, its aggression in the region with its continued disputes with China, Taiwan, Korea and Russia over islands in the northest Asia region and other issues, is something that the whole world needs to take note and also be very wary of. Abe, who is the grandson of former Class A War Criminal and later post-war prime minister Nobusuke Kishi, also wants to rescind the articles in the Japanese constitution that prohibit Japan's involvement as a world military power.
Here is another closely related article on the Comfort Women recently published by the New York Times which clearly shows the opportunity that Japan has for possibly reversing its archaic stance and come clean on the issue of the Comfort Women and hopefully the POW abuse and other issues as well.
MORE . . . and this is scary!
From THE ASIA-PACIFIC JOURNAL: JAPAN FOCUS - DATED JANUARY 28, 2013, comes a horrifying look at Japan's new right wing cabinet.
PM Abe and other LDP members tended to present a moderate "economy first" face on television and during the recent election campaign, but this was just a cover up and deliberate smokescreen to deceive the Japanese people and get themselves elected so that they could pursue their REAL AGENDA!
In order to spread awareness of some of the extreme ideas held by key conservatives and the changes that they wish to make to Japanese education and ideas of citizenship, Japanese NGO Network 21 has prepared a list of the various Diet groups to which members of the current Abe Cabinet belong. Following the list is description and discussion of the Diet groups and their key positions on such issues as Constitutional Revision, the Yasukuni Shrine, war responsibility and war atrocities, the comfort women, North Korea, and citizenship that clarify the core political principles of the Abe administration. Here is the url link to the article - click on it, read it and remember this when you see things start to change in Japan in the very near future -
Here is an article published in the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR newspaper on April 25, 2013, which states that PM Shinzo Abe is clearly pursuing his extreme Right Wing policies much to the detriment of Japan and it's relations with its Asian neighbours and peace and stability in the region.
Is Japan's Shinzo Abe finally acting on his true nationalist colors?
Japan's prime minister appears to be stepping up his campaign to re-interpret Japan's wartime history, aggravating China and South Korea at a time when the region should be uniting to deal with North Korea.
"This has always been the real Abe," says Robert Dujarric, director of the Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies at Temple University in Tokyo. "He really believes this stuff, and when he is not under the control of his bureaucrats, like during this week's parliamentary session, he says what he thinks. And he doesn't seem to realize how much he is hurting Japan."
Read this latest article and stay tuned for more - http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2013/0425/Is-Japan-s-Shinzo-Abe-finally-acting-on-his-true-nationalist-colors
Let us hope and pray that PM Abe and others in this new government will finally acknowledge that the world is still waiting for a sincere, official, government-sponsored apology with the legislation that goes along with it, and that Japan will finally "come clean" about its past and thus be able to take a meaningful place in today's world community as Germany has done.
Let's also hope that the leaders of the world's democracies and all good people will stand up and protest to Japan - perhaps even boycotting Japanese businesses and products, in the interest of righting so many horrendous wrongs!
Don't hold your breath on it though!

We would like to remind our viewers that this is a work in progress so be sure to check back often.
As mentioned previously in this column, at present we have the lists of the POWs transported from Taiwan to the Philippines in September 1945 on the carrier USS Block Island, the DE's USS Thomas J. Gary and USS Kretchmer, and the New Zealand Hospital Ship Maunganui. Sadly, although we have obtained the logs from the USS Santee, no list of POW names was attached, and we have only partial lists of men from the DE's USS Brister and USS Finch.
We are currently searching various archives to try to find these lists if they have survived, but in the meantime we would like to hear from former POWs and their families if they have any knowledge that their relative sailed on any of these three ships.
If there are any US Naval or other archives out there which might have such information, we would appreciate hearing from you as well and then arrangements can be made to pay a visit to your facility to check things out further.
If there are any former crew members of these ships who know of the lists that were made and where they might now be, please kindly get in touch with us as well. We would be so grateful for any help we can get.

$50 Million Acquisition in West Texas Adds to Company's Growing Operations
TULSA, Okla., March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Capstone Natural Resources Partners, L.P., a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based oil and gas producing company, today announces the $50 million acquisition of oil properties in West Texas. The properties, in Andrews and Gaines Counties, will significantly expand Capstone's operations as it seeks to grow operations in the Central Basin Platform.
The $50 million acquisition of producing assets and associated acreage is from a private seller. The Capstone team identified the potential of the properties, contacted the seller, and completed the transaction through direct, proprietary negotiations. The transaction is being primarily financed with growth equity from Lime Rock Partners as part of its $100 million commitment to Capstone.
Phil Terry, CEO of Capstone, noted, "Today is an important day in Capstone's young history. We believe that the newly acquired properties complement our existing asset base perfectly, adding production, cash flow, and low-risk drilling opportunities. The acquisition also provides Capstone with greater scale to assist us in our continuing plan to create value in every part of our strategy: high-density drilling, operational optimization, new acreage leasing, and property acquisitions."
Capstone is an exploration and production company focused on the Central Basin Platform of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. Formed in early 2012, the senior leadership of Capstone brought to the company's strategy a wealth of experience pursuing a similar model as senior officers of Arena Resources Inc., a publicly traded company that was sold to SandRidge Energy for $1.6 billion in 2010. Capstone is led by Phil Terry, CEO (former CEO of Arena Resources), and David Ricks, President and COO (former VP of Operations at Arena Resources Inc). They lead a highly accomplished Tulsa-based team that includes Pat McConn, VP of Geology; Tom Wahl, VP of Land; Kim Nichols, Accounting Manager; and Mike Willis, General Counsel.
Established in 1998, Lime Rock Partners is a creative investment partner in building differentiated oil and gas businesses, side by side, with entrepreneurs every day. From five locations on three continents, the Lime Rock Partners team has helped build high-growth E&P, service, manufacturing, and technology companies.

When testing layer 3 on the wafer we were able to find similar defect patterns to layers 1 and 2. The big difference though was that the threshold levels had to be reduced, because the intensity for some reason was much less than that of the other layers. We are currently trying to figure out why this is and hope to have a solution soon

We have made a good amount of progress this last week. The two major accomplishments of this week were; 1. we have successfully figured out how to control the motors in Labview, now we just need to write a state machine to automate the process. 2. The top mount is almost done, it just needs to be cut and installed. Another big thing that happened this week is the progress made with the camera drivers and software. In order the use the Paxcam in Labview, we need the correct windows and directshow drivers, which we got from Paxit. However, these are still not working 100% correctly, due to a windows 7 problem. We are currently troubleshooting and will hopefully fix the problem by the beginning of next week. A skeleton for the entire Labview program is still a work in progress.

We have finally mounted the bottom stage and wafer DUT apparatus to the base of VIPP01. I will upload pictures as soon as possible. Still working on ordering gearing and worm drives for the stages, and cutting pieces for the upper stage mount. We hope to be underway with fabrication and gears in route ASAP. We are currently trying to avoid using the Paxcam software, because it is currently unavailable to us to upload onto our computer we are working on. If it is found, it would be greatly appreciated!!!! We are currently attempting to strictly use Labview to communicate and acquire images from the camera for analysis. This has been proving kind of difficult, and we may need to go a different route.
Better tests and examples of why and how the procedure will work will be underway shortly. We hope to have a video of this test and a real wafer going through the process for our presentation. This will help with the understanding of how polarizers and our system work.
We will need to meet with Moxtek in about three weeks, we are aiming for a lot of progress by then, and it would be beneficial to have the representatives of Moxtek to come to the University to visually see the progress and give possible advice.
Moxtek- when we meet next, please have for us two pixelated polarizers. One with a single layer etched, and one with two layers etched. We are ready to test these! We my even be able to test one with three layers by the time you come up. So, if you wish to bring all three, that would be awesome.
Date: Dec 29, 2010
During the holidays, we are working on finding the correct gearing for the stages and motors. A picture of what we desire is shown below.
The plan is for this to sit on top of the stages so thats there is more room for them to be mounted on the sides.
ALSO, the top stage mount is still being examined and we are trying to get a final idea for it all.
Date: Dec 14, 2010
Summary: Glad to see the progress. Thanks for coming down.
Date: Dec 12, 2010
We ran a few experimental tests this weekend to present our idea to Moxtek
We essentially created an enlarged pixel of a pixelated polarizer to test. This will allow us to examine if our idea for the two separate rotation stages to single out a layer will work or not.
Test 1
Test 2
Test 3
Test 4
Test 5
Test 6
Test 7
Test 8
From these tests, it looks like our idea is going to work, it also gave us some insight on how to tell if another layer is affecting the layer being tested.
Also, we got the motors for the stages in, we are not looking for gearing. We are also pursuing a way to mount the upper rotation stage.
Date: Dec 7, 2010
We have set up a meeting at Moxtek for December 15, 2010.
We hope to review what we have done so far, and our plans for the near future with a powerpoint.
Date: Nov 22, 2010
The paxcam camera has been installed, and we are currently working on installing the stages. Also, some preliminary testing procedures are being examined. We have taken a few video clips and pictures of both a standard polarizer and a pixelated polarizer.
Date: Nov 18, 2010
The sheet polarizer we ordered from Edmund's Optics finally came in yesterday.
The paxcam camera is in our possession, and installed on VIZ01 (VIPP01 - Visual Inspection of Pixelated Polarizers 01).
Software is currently being examined to use the camera - as is.
We currently have a meeting with the University's CLEAR Center to practice our design presentation before we give it to Moxtek. (CLEAR CENTER - 2:00 PM, and our own practice is at 11:35)
Preliminary tests, using the sheet polarizer from Edmund's and the wafers given to us by Moxtek. We hope to get a better idea if our idea is going to work or not. We spent some time today looking at the images we are getting, we need to look at alignment and other things in order to get accurate results
Hardware - the sheet polarizer is to be installed on the stages from IGUS, and the bottom stage is nearing completion, but methods for installing the top stage are being examined.
Date: Oct 7, 2010
-We have attained a few test wafers, the camera, and the lens from Moxtek.
-The camera lens and camera must be shipped off in order to attach the lens to the camera correctly for focusing and zooming purposes.
-We will need a screw-in to F-mount adapter, and according to Vern this is something that will have to be done by the manufacturer (either Nikon or Paxcam, I'm not sure which). He said that the camera and lens will have to be shipped out to have this done because the distance between the plane of the CMOS detector of the camera and the focal length of the lens have to match very closely.
Rotation Stages
-IGUS has donated slew ring bearings for our project!!!!!!!!!
-Slew ring with a 100mm I.D. Opening
Cost is: $631.88
-Slew ring with a 200mm I.D. Opening
Cost is: $875.00

9:30am Monday 14th May 2012 in Oxford Utd By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
OXFORD United are expecting to receive answers from the three players offered new contracts within the next 48 hours.
Of the eight first-team players whose deals expired this summer, only Adam Chapman, Asa Hall and Wayne Brown were given the chance to stay.
Formal contracts were tabled last week and the trio were given the weekend to consider the terms.
Now boss Chris Wilder is keen to resolve their futures within the next few days.
He said: "The contracts have gone out and we're expecting answers.
"The way the club works I'm not going to put a gun to anybody's head – you have to give the boys a bit of time to think about the deal.
"We'll give them a few days, but there will come a time when there will be a cut-off period – early this week, possibly Monday or Tuesday, when we'll require answers.
"Obviously it's good if they accept the terms, if not we have to replace them."

Rising from the desert like a white Arabian castle, Umm Qarn has all the trimmings you'd expect of a six-star luxury hotel.
Walk through the grand marble entrance, replete with chandelier, and you'll find a fitness studio, swimming pool, solarium and international restaurant.
But behind the gold-plated doors, a team of fitness gurus from across the world is catering to an unlikely guest.
Welcome to Qatar's Umm Qarn Stud Farm, the breeding ground of some of the most successful -- and expensive -- race horses on the planet.
Owned by the Gulf state's former prime minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Khalifa Al Thani, the 580-acre estate is home to about 60 champion horses -- either in training for their next million-dollar competition or being used to breed a new generation of winners.
One of those champions, Arabian stallion Tabarak, this week won Qatar's most prestigious race, the Emir's Sword, extending his unbeaten winning streak to a remarkable six.
His silver sword trophy -- not to mention $550,000 in prize money -- will now join the many others already lining Umm Qarn's lavish lobby.
Behind Tabarak's success -- and that of his predecessor Al Dahma, who won the sword in 2009 and 2010 -- is an international team of trainers, nutritionists and scientists reinventing the way that champion stallions are raised.
"I don't think you could find facilities like that in Europe," says Umm Qarn's head trainer, Alban de Mieulle, pointing to the farm's swimming pool, treadmill and solarium.
With temperatures in Qatar soaring to 113F (45C), the pool is an ideal place for sleek stallions to cool down after a morning workout. The water itself is kept at a comfortable 68F (20C), in an air-conditioned room.

Strategically situated in Palencia's Commercial Core, the Eurostars Diana Palace is strategically situated, to 25 mts from the Train Station, 50 mts from the Bus Station and 40 kms from Valladolid Airport. Moreover the hotel is near an excellent routs net that connects it rapid and easily with Madrid, Valladolid, Burgos and León. More info in this link.

Xfce4 Installation
Please note that this page will soon undergo reconstruction to offer more indepth help
Before reading;
- it command is install that installs packages from binary repository with all dependencies
- -d is the parameter that means debug. It lets us see debug output.
- -c is the paramater that means component. It installs all packages from the component
Adding Repository
Firstly, add the contrib repository. Look here for instructions.
Method One
Method Two
To install Xfce4, we must install all of the Xfce packages and their dependencies. This can be achieved through two methods. The first method involves using the Pardus Package Manager. Open up the Pardus Package Manager and proceed to select all of the packages from the XFCE category, followed by selecting the install button. This will install Xfce4 and any subsequent dependencies that may be.
Alternatively open a console (Konsole) and enter
To install Xfce4, you need to get all packages of desktop.xfce4 component. You can do that by installing all packages from the XFCE category you see when you open the PISI package manager or by entering in console:
sudo pisi it -c desktop.xfce4 -d
Xfce is installed but we should do some configuration changes.
You need to build the kdmtheme application and change the login theme in order to see the Xfce4 option.
Type in console:
sudo pisi it kdmtheme -d
Configure it by writing:
sudo kcmshell kdmtheme
Please select another login theme and press OK
After that, we should move ".gtkrc-2.0" file to the home directory.Type:
mv ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ~/.gtkrc-2.0.backup
Xfce is ready! Please, shutdown the session and select the Xfce option from the start screen and then login ;)

Biddy B
The Guilderland Biddy B won a nail biter, beating a tough Averill Park team, 16 to 15, on Saturday.
The game was decided by an aggressive 2-3 defense that controlled the paint. All players contributed to the win through aggressive defense and a never say quit attitude.
The Guilderland team fell down, 8 to 2, early but the team came to life, spurred on by the tenacious defense of Vivienne Owens. Her two quick steals led to four quick points by Graycen Dubin.
Thanks to the tough defense by all players, the Guilderland team was able gain the lead in the second half and then never gave the lead up. Dubin finished the game with 14 points and Rebecca Rowe contributed two points to seal the deal.
Third/fourth grade
The GBC third grade "White" team played an away game against the "Little Lady" Warriors of Averill Park on Sunday.
The spirited third graders got off to a slow start against the Warriors, falling behind, 6 to 0, until Lynnwood's Bella Gitto scored two quick baskets to bring the Little Lady Dutch to within two points.
After a quick timeout, the Warriors went back to work, connecting on seven unanswered baskets to take a 20-to-4-halftime lead.
Never giving up and hustling at 110 percent, the Lady Dutch came out strong and played great defense to outscore the Warriors, 6 to 4, in the second half. Gitto led Guilderland in scoring with eight points. Westmere's Lauren Hoyle also chipped in a basket to complete the teams scoring.
Junior B
Guilderland matched up against Averill Park last Saturday for a truly exhilarating performance. Both teams put forth excellent efforts as the Lady Dutch fought back from a late game deficit to tie the game and push the contest into overtime.
Averill Park pulled away in the extra period to bring in the win, 49 to 45.
Rachel Mastrianni led Guilderland with 19 points, while Emily Burns contributed seven points and five rebounds. Alexa DiCaprio and Margan Kieley grabbed five steals each, leading the team's tenacious defensive effort.
The girls take on Clifton Park this coming Saturday.
Junior A
The Guilderland Junior A team banked its first win last Saturday against Averill Park, 39 to 20.
The girls started off slow but Nicole Fyvie adding three quick baskets to pick up the momentum. Fyvie finishing the game with 12 points, and Kerry Gerety and Skyle Lindsay added eight points each. Olivia Baumann, who also has a spot on the Guilderland varsity team, contributed seven points.
GBC continues to improve every week and is really shaping up as a whole unit. Next week, Junior A hosts Clifton Park on Saturday and travels to Saratoga on Sunday.
Biddy C
The Biddy C team was anxious to get back into action after the holiday break. Taking on a tenacious St. Mary's of Waterford team, the Guilderland Storm got off to a slow start.
Shots were plentiful but not falling early on for the Storm. With its signature aggressive man defense, the Storm held St. Mary's at bay as Haley Bonavita (four points), Laila Nino, and Valencia Fontenelle (four points) finally got the offense going as the half ended with Guilderland on top, 10 to 2.
The second half saw the Storm take command of the game with Lauren Thompson and Grace McFerran (eight points) leading the offense and Kendall Rafferty, Gwen Wronski, and Empress Lee controlling the boards.
Savannah Henderson and Caroline Burns forced several key turnovers as the Storm went on to win, 21 to 2.
Division leader Guilderland returns to action next week with two key league games against Clifton Park and Saratoga.
Biddy A
The Biddy A team added to the Guilderland wins as it defeated Averill Park, 28 to 10.

I liked the Smart car so much, I bought one. That was back in 2005, when Mercedes-Benz decided to test the waters in North America by importing a limited number of the diminutive city car to Canada. It was an instant hit, with some consumers waiting up to six months for a car. Demand by U.S. buyers didn't help, either.
I bought one because of its two obvious features: fuel economy that is second only to gasoline-electric hybrids and the ability to park anywhere.
The second-generation Smart Fortwo appeared in 2008, and that is what I have been driving since. I recently drove a 2011, but most of my observations are from living with my car for the last three years.
Driving a vehicle that is less than three metres long is easy to get used to, especially when looking for a parking space others have given up on. When the Smart first came out, one of the regular comments from jokers would be: "Where's the rest of your car?"
Still, people seemed happy to see a manufacturer break with tradition to offer something so unconventional. Drivers and pedestrians would smile and offer a thumbs-up.
The 2011 Smart isn't much different from my 2008. As the recipient to a mid-cycle refreshing, the 2011 now offers a few desirable features that I wish I had in my car.
Smart finally incorporated a trip computer, so drivers can actually see their fuel economy. In my mind it should have been standard back in 2008. Cruise control is finally available, in recognition of North American driving distances. Throw in an optional navigation system and a few trim variations and you have the bulk of the differences.
The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine remains the same. With only 70 horses it is officially the slowest new car from 0 to 100 km/h: plan on taking more than 14 seconds to get there. A bit of trivia: the Smart's engine is in the back. It and the Porsche 911 are the only two cars with engines in the back. The most famous of all rear-engine cars is, of course, the original VW Beetle.
It is the lightest car on the road, and that means on the highway the poor little thing gets buffeted about whenever a speeding semi passes by. A Smart owner won't care about speeders. Instead, they are driving sensibly at the speed limit, hoping to see if they can match the car's rated 4.8 L/100 km highway and 5.9 L/100 km city fuel figures. For those who have not converted, that's 59 mpg highway and 48 mpg city. The only downside? The thrifty Smart needs premium gas -a dumb move by a bunch of smart engineers.
The transmission is the Achilles heel of the car. To keep weight down, Smart decided to install a manual transmission. But this is no ordinary transmission.
There is no clutch for the driver. Instead the car's computer operates the clutch, so it operates like an automatic but without all the fuel-robbing attributes of an automatic. The transmission can be shifted manually, and some models also have steering-wheel paddle shifters.
The problem is that every time it changes a gear, it lurches when driven by a person new to a Smart. Seasoned Smart drivers know to lift off the gas the same way one would do if driving a regular manual transmission.
This lurching turns people off. They think something is wrong with the car. Smart would have been better off to bite the bullet on fuel economy and install a regular automatic for North America -but that's just my opinion.
Unlike most economy cars, the Smart has an inordinate amount of standard safety equipment, such as traction and stability control on top of the regular anti-lock brakes. The seats have side air bags and there are now knee air bags. The other noteworthy item is the Tridion steel safety shell that serves as the exoskeleton of the car. This safety cage gives occupants a better chance at survival when involved in high-speed collisions.
The Smart doesn't have steel body panels. Instead it is festooned with plastic panels which can be replaced easily. Don't like the colour of your car? Change it in about two hours. It is also resilient to parking lot dings.
The seat height is another refreshing change. The Smart is tall, and the occupants sit higher than some small cars. This gives it the same seat height as some mid-size cars. I frequently see over the hood of older Hondas and the like.
Despite being a two-seater, the Smart is surprisingly roomy. Sixfooters will fit comfortably. The cargo compartment is directly above the engine. Some people scoff at the space but it is surprisingly roomy.
My wife and I have had people stop in the Costco parking lot watching us transfer the contents of a full shopping cart into the back of the Smart. I am surprised none of them have burst out in applause as we loaded the last item in and closed the hatch. My border collie also fits in the back.
Although the 2011 I drove was a coupe, my own car is a convertible. It is the smallest and least expensive convertible on the road. I look upon it as a reward for leading a frugal life. Smart has also announced it is coming out with a pure-electric model later this year as the ultimate green transportation choice.
The Smart's monopoly on small and cute will be broken this spring as Scion introduces the iQ to the market. Although marginally longer than the Smart, it boasts it can carry rear-seat passengers. Unfortunately, there are no plans for a local Scion dealer in Victoria.
