How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."

Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
A Young Earth Creationist's Perspective
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Adventist Origins of Young Earth Creationism
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
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.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
On the Creation Account
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
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.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Ask an Evolutionary Creationist: A Q&A with Dennis Venema
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
Science and the Question of God
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
America's Culture Wars: A Different Perspective
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
Science, Scripture, and the Creation Narrative
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
On Genesis 2 and 3
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.

It won't be easy for the Logan High School basketball team.
The Wildcats are scheduled to play Belfry (Ky.) and Greenbrier East this weekend at Logan's annual King Coal Classic at Willie Akers Arena.
Logan (5-7) is set to take on Belfry on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and undefeated Greenbrier East (12-0) on Saturday at 6 p.m. in the tourney.
The Wildcats played at Belfry in the preseason and also took on Greenbrier East earlier in the season, resulting in a 60-53 loss to the Spartans.
Class AAA No. 4-ranked Greenbrier East, coached by Jim Justice, has not really been challenged much this season outside of the game with Logan and a few other contests. The closest anyone has come to the Spartans was a 61-59 game on Jan. 2 at Beckley Woodrow Wilson.
The Belfry Pirates, coached by Randy Casey, enter the King Coal Classic with an 8-6 record. Belfry destroyed district rival Phelps (Ky.), 85-31, on Tuesday in its most recent game. Belfry lost 93-65 on Jan. 19 at home against West Virginia opponent Hurricane, a team which downed Logan 67-60 in the season opener at Willie Akers Arena.
The King Coal Classic tips off on Friday with a 6 p.m. girls' game pitting host Logan (8-3) and Class A No. 1 Greenbrier East (9-0).
After the Logan-Belfry game, the nightcap around 9 p.m. has Tug Valley taking on Greenbrier East. Class A No. 2-ranked Tug Valley (10-2) just came to Logan on Tuesday night and beat the Class AAA Wildcats 53-41.
There are four games scheduled for Saturday in the tourney.
The action gets under way at 12 p.m. with the Logan JV boys taking on Chapmanville's JV team.
Then at 2 p.m., Capital faces Class AA No. 9 Tolsia (7-6) in boys' action.
Also on Saturday at 4 p.m., there will be a college game as Fairmont State University plays Davis & Elkins College. Former Logan High School all-state player Stevie Browning is a freshman guard for Fairmont State.
The King Coal Classic then concludes with the 6 p.m. Logan-Greenbrier East boys' game.
Logan coach Mark Hatcher said it's going to be a great weekend of basketball in Logan.
"There's going to be some great basketball," Hatcher said. "We've got a lot of great matchups. The girls' matchup is getting watched by everybody in the state. They are waiting to see what Logan is going to do that night."
Belfry was led by Tony Messer and Brett Charles in the most recent win over Phelps. Messer ended up with 16 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. Charles ended the game with 16 points, while Sean Hurley and Nick West each netted eight points.
"It's a big game for us against Belfry. We need a win," Hatcher said. "Belfry is a very good basketball team. We can win but we've got to be able to score some points. We've got to defend them, too. It's a big game for us. When we played them in the preseason they were without a couple of their guys. It will be a tough matchup. Then after us it's Tug Valley and Greenbrier East and that's going to be a great basketball game as well."
Hatcher said it will also be great to have Browning back in the Logan field house. Browning averages around nine points a game for Fairmont State.
"Saturday's going to be fun, too," Hatcher said. "We start out with the JV game between Logan and Chapmanville and then we have the Capital-Tolsia game which is going to be a huge game for both teams. The 4 o'clock college game will be a lot of fun to watch Stevie play again. Fairmont State is one of the top teams in the conference. We've got Greenbrier East after that and they are an awfully good basketball team. We thought we played them really well at their place and we're looking forward to playing them again."
The Logan floor is already equipped for a college game with the shot clocks above both backboards. A college 3-point stripe — a foot longer at 20 feet 9 inches as opposed to the high school standard of 19 feet 9 inches — was slated to be placed down sometime on Thursday or Friday.
A portion of the tournament proceeds will go to the Ronald McDonald House, the Logan Animal Shelter and the American Cancer Society.
All Logan Buddy League basketball players will get in free on Saturday (with a paying adult). There will be contests and prizes for all ages.
Finally, at the end of the third quarter of the Logan-Greenbrier East game on Saturday, some lucky fan will have one chance to make a half court shot (sponsored by Stollings Trucking Co.) to win $10,000.
This year's Gold Sponsors include: Baisden Brothers, C&W Discount, Dan & Dave's Sporting Goods, Fireball Trucking Co., Hatfield-McCoy CVB, James River Coal, Jeff McCoy, Jim & Melissa Frye, McDonald Land Company, Natural Resource Partners, Pepsi-Cola, Radio Shack, Southern Amusement, Stollings Trucking Company and WVOW radio.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
From US Weekly:
"It's not a PR stunt," the source insists of the rapper and reality star. "They're perfect for each other. He thinks she's his Beyonce!"
Indeed, after years of a flirty friendship -- West pursued Kardashian "for a long time," another source says -- the stars were finally aligned for the twosome (who share a fondness for luxury and the spotlight) to finally get romantic.
The "Otis" rapper split with model Amber Rose in 2010, and Kardashian is famously in the midst of an ugly divorce battle with Kris Humphries five months after she filed papers.
"Now that Kim has gotten over the Kris drama . . . she sees how much Kanye loves her," a Kardashian source tells Us.
Tags: kanye, kim kardashian
Isn't US Weekly one of the "publications" that sponsors the Kardashians? If this is just a fling, he needs to publicly end this and quickly.
I hope they do get together, maybe we'll see less of KK, Kayne likes his women seen and not heard and not bigger than him, so maybe this will force her deep into obscurity!
And if she has any dreams of rubbing elbows with Bey she may as well wake the hell up, the closest she'll get to Bey beside hanging with Kelly is Angie or Michelle.
*long dramatic sigh* KK needs to find 12 seats and sit her ass down in everyone of them *roll eyes*
I read an article the other day that basically said Kanye is passed his prime. Now, I am the biggest 'Ye fan ever, but that article may have some truth to it...especially if he is entertaining Miss Kartrashian. Now, they are BOTH off of my radar. Sorry 'Ye.
I say kanye is trying to aggravate Amber with this BS. They've been apart 2 years in which time kim has been married and divorced. But the minute Amber said they broke up because he cheated with kim, SUDDENLY kanye is all in LOVE with kim??? whatever......
pure dumb-ass-ery!!!
no thats life & style, who by the way referred to Beyonce when describing make up for dark skinned women.
i stopped buying L & S after that.

The APDIG is a forum for open debate between Parliament and the UK's design and innovation communities
"Design has the power to help us answer some of the big questions that we face today: how do we stimulate growth; how can we make our businesses more profitable; how can we be more competitive in international markets; how can we provide improved public services at less cost; how can we realise the potential of our great scientific and technological innovations; how can we be more creative and innovative as a nation; how can we deliver the benefits of our engineering excellence; and how do we build places and buildings in which people can thrive?"
- Lord Bichard, Design Education and Growth - Question for Short Debate, 24 January 2011
"Design is a sure but not widely understood means of developing general excellence in education because it fosters many key proficiencies, not only the traditional ones of literacy and numeracy, but the ones we particularly need now for the success of our economy-the capability to realise a plan, innovate, collaborate and recognise what the user wants."
- Baroness Whitaker, Education: Development of Excellence - Motion to Take Note, 18 October 2012
"Too many people still think that good design means a beautiful table or chair or a new piece of architecture, such as the Shard. There is a whole body of expert design capacity in this country that could help design services, particularly public services... good design, as shown in a new publication from the Design Commission, could help recovery in this country"

What's all this talk of Fast and Furious being like Watergate?? That's absurd!! Some key differences:
–F&F has led to numerous deaths, most likely many more that we won't ever hear of. Watergate didn't harm anyone, but it involved burglary, which is a felony in most places.
–Watergate break-in investigation had nearly unanimous, bipartisan support, but the investigation of F&F is nothing more than "election year politics" (I hope Border Patrol Agent Terry's family understands).
–Watergate investigation revealed a cover-up that led to the resignation of a President. But there is NO WAY the F&F "witch hunt" could find any wrongdoing or negligence, so a cover-up is totally justified.
Clearly anyone who thinks Fast and Furious should be looked into further must be a bigoted, racist, right-wing radical who is trying to smear the President during an election year. Right?!

Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon
It's easy to see what draws so many people to Sedona. Red-rock buttes—Cathedral Rock, Bear Mountain, Courthouse Rock, and Bell Rock, among others—reach up into an almost always blue sky, and both colors are intensified by dark-green pine forests. Surrealist Max Ernst, writer Zane Grey, and many filmmakers drew inspiration from these vistas—more than 80 Westerns were shot in the area in the 1940s and '50s alone.
These days, Sedona lures enterprising restaurateurs and gallery owners from the East and West coasts. New Age followers, who believe that the area contains some of Earth's more important vortexes (energy centers), also come in great numbers believing that the "vibe" here confers a sense of balance and well-being, and enhances creativity.
Expansion since the early 1980s has been rapid, and lack of planning has taken its toll in unattractive developments and increased traffic.
The city of Sedona is young, and there are few historic sites; as many visitors conclude, you don't come to Sedona to tour the town itself. The main downtown activity is shopping, mostly for Southwestern-style paintings, clothing, rugs, jewelry, and Native American artifacts. Just beyond the shops and restaurants, however, canyons, creeks, ancient dwellings, and the red rocks beckon. The area is easy to hike or bike, or you can take a jeep tour.

At the plate, on the mound or playing infield, Bradley proved an indispensable asset for the Bulldogs in 2012, leading Piedmont (29-11-1) to its first ever Class 3A state runner-up showing.
College and professional baseball scouts are now finding out just how talented Bradley is. He was selected to play in the 2012 Underclassmen Southeastern Summer All-Star Event for Team Alabama on Tuesday and Wednesday in Marietta, Ga. Over 100 college and professional scouts were at the event.
Bradley was one of 25 players selected by scouts from a workout last week at the Alabama Top 100 Showcase in Troy to play in the Underclassmen event.
In his first game on Tuesday against Team Tennessee, Bradley went 1 for 2 with a double down the left field line. He also recorded two outs at second and a fly out at shortstop. Team Alabama played Team Georgia on Wednesday, but Bradley didn't a hit.
"It just gives you a lot of exposure," Bradley said. "My nerves kind of went away after the first few innings. It was a good experience.
"They played me at shortstop, second and third. I got to show them how strong my arm is, and I got a double (at the plate). Pitchers are a lot faster here than what we faced in the regular season. It's a lot of good competition."
One of those in attendance to see Bradley play was Piedmont baseball coach James Blanchard. Blanchard said Bradley "did real well."
"I'm real proud of Cade," Blanchard said "He's worked hard, and all this exposure he's getting he deserves. They're getting to see the real Cade Bradley, and that's what makes me happy."
Bradley said a few scouts have inquired about his talent, mostly at the junior college level. He said Snead State and Calhoun Community College have been in contact with him the most. According to Blanchard, Snead has already offered Bradley a scholarship.
In 39 games for the Bulldogs last season, Bradley had 51 hits in 123 at-bats. He batted .415 with 13 doubles, six home runs and a triple with 41 runs and 27 RBIs.
Bradley also stole 16 bases in 17 attempts and had nine walks with only seven strikeouts. On the mound, he went 9-3 with 70 strikeouts and a 2.65 ERA.
Out of the positions Bradley plays, Blanchard feels the infield is where Bradley's future lies in college.
"I think they'd use him at short or second, maybe even third," Blanchard said. "He's got as good an arm as any college player I've seen at shortstop, and he's got some power.
"This is big for Cade, to go down there and help our program, getting our kids out there. They're (scouts) starting to hear about Piedmont baseball, and they're wanting to come see our players now. We've got some more good players coming up, and they said they'd be coming to see us."

Thank you very much. Will try to remember your advice when installing Salix 13.37 Fluxbox and/or LXDE.caitlyn wrote: For future reference you didn't have to reboot or change the init level. Just hitting CTRL-ALT-F2 would have taken you to a virtual console and you could have logged in and done the work.
Fully agree!caitlyn wrote:I've got to wonder, for future versions (13.37.1 maybe), if some code could be added to the installer (,,,) offering the option to download, compile and install the proprietary driver within the OS install process. That would certainly make it easier for less technically sophisticated users with one of the affected chipsets.

This month Sidewalk Radio presents both a radio show and an art show that journey along the path to discovery in Atlanta's arts and culture realm. The radio show delves into the world of education as told through an arts critic, an arts collector, and an architect who specializes in design for student life. The art show, by way of The Sidewalk Art Project, is the end product of a creative partnership between Sidewalk Radio and SCAD Atlanta that exhibits student work about our history and culture. What we learn through our exploration is that education is both in itself an art form and a producer of art, how it is constructed many times parallels the path of the student.
Art collector and explorer, Bill Arnett, is Founder and Chief Curator at Tinwood Media. While extremely accomplished, being perhaps the foremost collector and educator about the art of the southern black slave tradition, Arnett is himself "self-taught". Joining Gene in the studio this month to talk about his journey toward knowledge and the unorthodox route he took, Bill enlightens and educates about discovery in the arts and within the individual. AM 1690 has extensive coverage about Arnett's work, and can be further enjoyed by listening to an interview done by "The Voice of the Arts" own David Lewis in his interview.
Jeff Stebar is an architect and student life expert with Perkins+Will. Jeff joins Gene to talk about the future of education from both the built environment and from life outside the classroom. Since the students for whom Stebar is now designing are only in the 6th and 7th grade presently, predicting how they will learn and where they will learn when they get to college makes the work he and his team embark upon interesting and a challenge. What our discussion uncovers is that buildings are being designed not to predict the future, but to adapt to it. The interests of the students and the advancements in technology are highly considered as is the new reality of having to recruit in higher education.
Cathy Fox is a long-writing Atlanta arts critic and founder of ArtsAtl. While Cathy does not have a focus on arts education per se, she is certainly one of Atlanta's top voices when it comes to covering the arts. Her interview is in part to educate upcoming artists such as those who participated in The Sidewalk Art Project about how to and where to learn, and in another way meant to take a critical eye on education within the arts.
And, speaking of arts critique, we must take a moment to recognize our Juror Panel who helped select "Best In Show" for the art show portion of this month's exploration. Special thanks to Spalding Nix, Ronnie Land, Bruce McEvoy, and Stuart Horodner. Each of these individuals are big in Atlanta arts, and dedicated their time and expertise not only to help the SCAD students learn more in the way of exposure to success in the arts, but also to learn themselves about the students and their work.
Congratulations to the two students selected "Best In Show", Elizabeth Castaldo for "Miss Winter (Juniper)" and to Nate Kamp for "Kights Armor, Palisade, Lucky Penny". To see their work and read the artist's statement visit us on Sidewalk Radio's Facebook Page.

Henson has undergone surgery on a dislocated bone in his right wrist, a problem suffered during the World Cup warm-up victory over England on Saturday.
He will be sidelined for six to eight weeks, and by the time he regains full fitness it is possible Wales could be on their way home from New Zealand.
Wales coach Warren Gatland names a 30-man World Cup squad next Monday. If, as seems certain, he is not selected, then Henson could only feature in the tournament by replacing an injured player.
Centre Henson has never played in a World Cup. He was overlooked by then Wales boss Steve Hansen for the 2003 tournament, and then failed to recover in time from injuries four years later. When the 2015 competition comes around, he will be 33.
It is the latest setback for Wales after wing Morgan Stoddart broke his leg against England at Twickenham nine days ago, while last season's Test skipper - hooker Matthew Rees - is battling to overcome a neck problem.
Wales, meanwhile, say fly-half Rhys Priestland, who left the pitch at half-time against England nursing a thigh injury, will be re-assessed today.
But both full-back Lee Byrne and wing Leigh Halfpenny have been declared fully fit and in contention for selection against Argentina in the final World Cup preparation game next Saturday.
And Stephen Jones, Ryan Jones and Gethin Jenkins, who all have calf muscle problems, will join Priestland in reporting for injury assessment, when further details about their progress will be established.
"Gavin underwent surgery at the Vale Hospital to correct the dislocation to a bone in his right wrist," said Prav Mathema, the Welsh Rugby Union's national medical performance manager.
"He has been given a return to play time of six to eight weeks which, while ruling him out of selection for the initial World Cup squad, could see him available to the coaches while we are still in the pool stages of the tournament.
"With that fact in mind, Gavin will remain under the care of the Wales national squad medical staff in order to ensure that he returns to fitness at the earliest opportunity in case the coaches need to call him out to New Zealand for any reason."
Wales kick off their World Cup campaign against world champions South Africa in Wellington on September 11, followed by appointments with Samoa, Namibia and Fiji.
Henson, who is currently without a club after spells at Saracens and Toulon last season, impressed during his 30 minutes on the pitch as Wales overcame England 19-9 in Cardiff.
But the injury is another career dip for Henson, who spent almost two years out of the sport as he came to terms with repeated fitness blows.
During that time, he embarked on a television career, taking part in programmes such as the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, and there were question marks over whether he had lost his rugby appetite.
But he participated in two Wales training camps in Poland last month, and looked to have done enough to secure his World Cup place until injury struck again.

lol, so true. I also thought this comment was funny (sorry if it offends anyone):
Edward is not a vampire. Let's look at this so called vamp. He lives in the woods. He 'flies' from tree to tree in the forest. He *sparkles*. He's not a vamp....
He's a fairy.

The County has a project specific website which can be accessed at KingsBeachCore.info. This site provides all of our latest project information; public meeting dates; past public meeting materials and exhibits; as well as location and directions to submit comments. The County website is used primarily as a depository for project plans and documents that have been created over time and is not regularly maintained. In regards to project history, Placer County prepared, and the Board of Supervisors approved, the final environmental document for the Kings Beach Commercial Core Improvement Project. The environmental document was prepared in conjunction with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The County Board of Supervisors approved the three-lane hybrid alternative for the project. Beginning in the Fall of 2010, Placer County began working with a consultant design team to advance and finalize the design of the project. The project consists of a variety of streetscape, parking, water quality, and transit improvements along North Lake Boulevard and throughout the neighboring grid streets. The design also includes the installation of neighborhood traffic calming improvements. Currently, the design is at a 100 percent level; and we are actively responding to agency comments. Project construction is funding-dependent. The County has secured the monies for Phase 1 ($24 million) and anticipates building this phase beginning in late 2013 and completing it during the 2015 season. Phase II will be built when the remaining funding is identified.

Sebastian County Deputy Dies After Accident
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: March 4, 2013
Corporal Terry Johnson was seriously injured in a one-vehicle accident around four o'clock this morning on Highway 96 in Lavaca.
A witness called 911 reporting that he had heard a loud crash and saw a white vehicle on it's side, in a ditch.
Emergency crews used the Jaws of Life to free Corporal Johnson from the car. He was taken to Mercy Hospital in Fort Smith where he died from his injuries this afternoon.
Investigators say Johnson was on routine patrol when the accident happened.
Corporal Johnson's body is being sent to the State Crime Lab.
He had served the Sebastian County Sheriff's Officer for more than 15 years.

OSM bylaw changes regarding oversight
In the March 2013 Open Source Matters (OSM) board meeting, the board voted to accept changes to the OSM bylaws that were proposed by the Community Oversight Committee (COC) upon their dissolution. For more details about those proposed changes, please read this previous blog and the public forum discussion.
By voting to accept those proposed changes to the OSM bylaws, OSM has become a self-governing group. In simple terms, this means that OSM is now empowered to add and remove board members on its own, without the approval that was previously required by the COC.
Future of the VEL team
Since 2010 the VEL team have organised the Vulnerable Extensions List on behalf of the Joomla community. Since then the list has been hosted on the docs.joomla.org pages.The VEL team felt that now was the time to move the vel project onto its own website.
VEL Team volunteers needed
Those interested do not need to know how to code or be a developer but they must be able to:
converse confidently in english be able to test POC where applicable have a proven record of assisting the Joomla community
This volunteer role requires only a little commitmentment but does require a lot of discretion as you may be dealing with exploits that will affect the joomla community as a whole.
For those interested please complete the expression of interest form by the 15th May
Joomla! 3.1 - Dynamic Tagging Across Content Types
It is our privilege and pleasure to announce the immediate release of Joomla! 3.1. The biggest feature of Joomla 3.1 is Tags, a built-in tagging system chiefly engineered by Elin Waring and Mark Dexter. However, it's not just any kind of tagging, it's dynamic tagging across content-types.
Marketing Materials for Joomla 3.1
For people wanting to blog about this week's release of Joomla 3.1, we have some marketing materials ready for you.
Here's the main image for Joomla 3.1. This image helps to show that the main feature of 3.1 is Tags.
It's GSoC Time!
Google's Open Source offices have officially announced that there will be a Google Summer of Code Program this year. Because of the wild success of our projects with GSoC last year, the Joomla Community has again put together a team to mentor college / university students of any age for the summer. That team has already filled out the application for Google, and been approved by Google. This is happening, folks!
What's on The Plate for This Year?Last year had a major focus on the (then) Joomla Platform codebase. Six out of our seven projects were platform related. This year, we have almost the opposite so far in terms of project ideas. The CMS has quite a few more project ideas on our ideas list, which should mean great innovation and maybe some new features in the upcoming Joomla 3 releases. The CMS is an exciting place for people interested in working on innovative applications. New features like tagging and Bootstrap and new CMS only APIS have created a good infrastructure for new work and for extension developers to dig in and check out all the great new features available to them in the 3.0 series! Both being a student developer and mentoring will put you in the middle of exciting changes for 3.2, 3.5 and beyond.
Help WantedIf you're interested in helping with GSoC, mentoring a student, or you are a student, we'd love to hear from you. There are a few important ways that we need help this year. If you're a programmer who just doesn't have the time to take on mentoring a student and project (we're all busy!) maybe you could just offer some assistance when a student has the need for some code to be tested by several different testers who can provide useful feedback.
If you are a programmer and you do have a bit of available time over the summer, we can always use more mentors. Even if you can't commit to a full time mentoring position, just having someone available at the right time can make a difference. Just talk to us, we'll find a way to work with your schedule and the time you have available. Of course, if you can commit to mentoring a project, we would love to hear from you too - don't be shy!
Getting More InfoThere's a lot of information about GSoC out there, specific to Joomla and more general just for GSoC. Here's a few links to help you out:
- GSoC
- Joomla GSoC
To get in contact with the GSoC team, send an email to gsoc [at] opensourcematters.org
We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Community Challenge: Let's Finance GNOME!
Last week the opportunity to support women in tech was presented in a blog entitled Joomla & GNOME Partner Up for an Internship for Women.
- Make sure to read up on the GNOME program: https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen
- You must contribute code to GitHub as part of the application process.
- Send your cover letter, resume, and link to any code to email@example.com
Kickstarting web services in Joomla
With the ever-increasing demand for content to be consumed across platforms and across devices, Joomla urgently needs a RESTful web services API. It is no longer enough to just publish content on a website and expect people to use a web browser to access it. Nowadays people want to consume content on smartphones, tablets and other devices, and they want to be able to connect information systems together to break out of the old content silos. Joomla as a content management system (CMS) needs to be more open to new methods of publishing content and we need to think beyond the traditional web CMS to embrace the full extent of our mission "to provide a flexible platform for digital publishing and collaboration".
Joomla & GNOME Partner up for an Internship for Women
Supporting diversity is an important tenet for Joomla leadership to uphold. Not only does it improve the quality of work coming out of our project, but as leaders in the Open Source space, it is important that we lead by example. This is particularly true, considering the currently low numbers of women in Open Source, which according to a well-cited study by UCAM at the University of Cambridge, is only 2%
Let me repeat that again: 2% of individuals in Open Source are women. While it is true that the Joomla community seems to be an organic leader in this regard, in that our events and leadership teams are comprised of more than 2% women, we still have a lot of work to do in this area, particularly when it comes to coding. Like most other projects, the percentage of women coders is quite low.
As a result of these and other reasons, the Joomla project will be taking part in GNOME Outreach Program for Women. The program was inspired in many ways by Google Summer of Code, and by how few women applied for it in the past. The program is also backed by the Software Freedom Conservancy, and has attracted the participation of many well known Open Source projects.
We are Looking for Sponsors!
We are also looking for community sponsors who could donate towards the internship fund since GNOME requires $5,000 stipend for each internship, as well as $500 travel allowance, and $200 administration fee. (The administrative fee will be used to cover intern payments transfer fees and to expand the resources of the GNOME Foundations needed for growing the program.) Our goal is to raise enough money for two internships.
Organizations that sponsor will be able to have their logo listed on the GNOME website and the Joomla landing page for this initiative.
To Donate:
Please contact Sandra Ordonez, who serves on the Open Source Matters board, at email@example.com
To Apply:
1) Make sure to read up on the GNOME program: https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen
2) You must contribute code to GitHub as part of the application process. https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen
3) Send your cover letter, resume, and link to any code to firstname.lastname@example.com
The JED index.html Requirement Dropped
Effective April 1, 2013 the Joomla Extensions Directory will drop the requirement for index.html files in all folders.
Why the change?
The rule is obsolete and has not been an effective 'security' measure for a long time. You can read more about it here: http://www.dionysopoulos.me/blog/86-the-files-of-wrath.html
The #1 error with extensions submitted to be listed in the JED is SE1 (missing index.html files) which significantly slows down the approval process for everyone. Once the error is flagged, the developer has to fix it and then we have to re-screen it. The whole process gets unnecessarily long.
Once we approve an extension for listing it's generally not checked again, unless there's an issue reported. It's quite common for a developer to update his/her extension and miss a few index.html files which will go unnoticed anyway.
What is the alternative?
Check with your hosting providers to see if they have directory traversal disabled.
Utilize the .htaccess / web.config file to prevent directory traversal.

- Description: I never leave my house without my camera. I document every place where I travel to. I'm always looking for photo opportunities. What I like the most is the challenge of capturing the images I visualize. I shoot in RAW, so I have ample information to interpret what I saw. In a way, photography is for me the way to record the story of my life, the places I've been to, the people I met, the key emotional moments. I'm always learning and experimenting and find it necessary to achieve a high level of technical understanding and artistic expression.

Trafficking in human beings, especially women and children, in Africa
Apr 29 2010
Download right click "save as"
In recent years child trafficking has gained visibility as a major violation of children's rights and it is a priority concern for the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre (IRC). This research reaffirms this priority. The study builds upon previous UNICEF IRC work on child trafficking in eight countries in West Africa. It is framed by the important international normative framework agreed upon by the international community, particularly the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols, the Palermo Protocol to the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour.

Rum is a drink that lends itself to being enjoyed in a number of different ways; with a mixer, as the base for a cocktail such as the Mojito, and on its own, as a bracing restorative. Rum was founded on the back of the sugar cane industries in the West Indies.
White rum is a standard drink in the Caribbean with well known brands like Barcardi,and Havana Club. Dark rum such as Captain Morgans, Lambs Navy and Inner Circle are aged from anywhere between 3 and 12 years and its heavier consistency and deeper flavours lend itself to being drunk on its own, although some cocktails do benefit from its weight.Awards
The International Wine and Spirit Competition aims to promote the quality and excellence of the world's best wines, spirits and liqueurs. All rum entrants are blind tasted by experts, and with entries from over 80 countries worldwide you can be sure rums with this award are of a superior taste and quality.

Update: if you don't have two reviews to link, it's cool … you can apply anyway. I have an idea for what to do.
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for two more people to become "trusted readers" — this means you get to read my first and second and third drafts and give me story feedback, ideas, "I hated this part" thoughts, and so forth. This is an unpaid thing … you're basically trading some feedback for the chance at an early look at my upcoming work. You'll also get thanked in the acknowledgments of anything that goes on to be published.
You will have to sign a very simple non-disclosure agreement. It's a two-page contract in very readable English that just basically says "I totally won't steal Chris's books and give them out on the internet."
In 2013 you will at definitely get to read The Broken God Machine before it comes out, along with the first draft of Monster Hunters, and probably another first draft. If you're going to apply, please link me at least two book reviews you've written at Amazon, Goodreads, your blog, or similar. If the reviews can't be linked (like Barnes & Noble or Apple), please describe how I can locate them. IE: "go to this book's page and look for the user 'TotesLuvsVampires' … that's me!"
Interested? Go to my contact form to get in touch.
