France and the United Nations insist any invasion must be led by African troops. But France has six hostages in Mali and fears it's becoming a new source of cross-border terrorism, and is playing an increasing role behind the scenes.
A French defense official said Monday that drones are headed to the region soon. And officials said American and French military leaders and diplomats are holding talks Monday on intelligence-gathering and security in Africa's Sahel region.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the activities publicly.

Retail stores are integral parts of the communities they serve, well beyond the product they sell. Through employment, staff volunteerism, donations to community organizations, and support of local businesses, a retailer adds vitality to the community and drives the local economy. In turn, strong community engagement programs can inspire employees, engage customers, and help retailers better understand and serve local needs.
MAKING A DIFFERENCELong before the phrase "corporate social responsibility" was coined, retailers were already giving back to the communities they served. For example, The Belk Foundation, started in 1928, has become a support system for education in the communities that Belk serves.
Today retailers lead many diverse programs tied to local community needs. Examples include:
Some companies tie their philanthropic activities directly to their sustainability objectives. Gap Inc., whose sustainability goals include the improvement of working conditions in the garment supply chain, created a Personal Advancement and Career Enhancement (PACE) program to help female garment workers gain the technical and social skills they need to succeed. So far, more than 5,000 women have been trained through the PACE program.
Philanthropy and volunteerism will always be core parts of the retail industry. Both monetary and in-kind donations help inspire employees, solidify community bonds, and strengthen national brands.
In addition, retailers will continue to go beyond traditional philanthropy, by making strategic investments to ensure that their communities thrive and by using their core competencies to provide essential services to the underserved. The strongest programs will directly align their philanthropic programs with their sustainability and business objectives.
Lastly, efforts to invest in local business will continue and expand. Investing in a vibrant community economy results in more resilient supply chains, a robust consumer base, and a decrease in the ecological footprint of retail operations.
Do you have questions or comments? We welcome your feedback.
Target views its stores as much more than a retail location in a city or town. They are a working member of a community and dedicate much of their time and resources to integrating stores into local communities. This helps Target to become more rooted in the community and accepted as a valued local participant and partner. Concurrently, the company is also able to highlight the community-oriented nature of the company and help to build brand support.
K-12 education is the cornerstone of Target's community giving, and as such, it has raised more than $286 million since 1997. To ensure the funds are used for the items any particular school needs most, Target listens to and acts on needs at the local level.
Target also recognizes the benefits of school libraries in the educational process. To improve the condition of school libraries across the country, Target has performed 76 library makeovers between 2007 and 2010. These school library renovations have provided new carpet, furniture, computers, and books, as well as the unique design and construction expertise that Target team members can bring.
In addition to funding school programs, Target encourages its team members to volunteer with education-related activities. In 2010 alone, Target's employees posted 430,000 volunteer hours. While those numbers are impressive on their own, the company has set an ambitious goal to reach 700,000 volunteer hours annually by 2015.
In other instances Target goes beyond educational funding to integrate the company into the communities it serves. When Target entered the city of Washington, DC, for example, it donated to the Dance Institute of Washington and sponsored the Gala Hispanic Theatre to foster fellowship among local community members. This community involvement nurtures goodwill and proactively shows the trusting nature of Target while mitigating any lingering concerns the community may have as the retailer enters new markets.

Designed by Apple in California My experience of doing business in the US
Yesterday I returned from a trip to San Francisco. It was my first time visiting the US. My main objective was to open a bank account for our newly formed US based company and to have some meetings with investors and friends.
I have done business related things in Denmark, Taiwan, Bosnia, Chile, Seychelles, Singapore, Cyprus and now the US. Doing business is defined by fx. opening a company, dealing with other companies, opening bank accounts and operating things. This is a bit of my reflection on doing business in the US. Opening a company in the USIt's really easy to open a company in the US, at least in Delaware! You can do it online and you don't have to have any ties to the US. We used Ryan Roberts, because he was recommended by some of our friends. His services were about $1250 (and this price depends on what type of company you are opening). We opened a company in Delaware, which is recommend due to great tax laws. This whole process took about 2 weeks from start to finish! In other countries it's almost impossible to open a business unless you are a citizen or resident of that country. And you sure as hell won't be able to do this online or do it in 2 weeks. Some other countries, like Denmark, make it really easy to open a company as well. But I guess this is only for citizens or residents and not for everyone! Some other countries, like Bosnia, make this process almost impossible and really slow. In Bosnia opening a company for Bosnian citizens is really complex - - and probably impossible for foreigners. Opening a bank account in the USOnline it's really hard to open a bank account in the US as they require you to be there in person. This said, once you are there in person you can do this pretty easily. We could open bank accounts with both Bank of America and Wells Fargo and we could open this in some hours (actually, we got both Internet banking, debit cards and access to merchant accounts in some hours!) This is also very different from other countries. In most other countries it's impossible to open a bank account without being citizen or resident there. In the US you can open a bank account for your US company without having any ties to the US. And you can do this in some hours. Which is really incredible… Opening a bank account is usually quite complex (or can be). We once tried to open a bank account in a bank from Singapore. It took them at least 1 month to do due diligence and after all this they required me to travel to Singapore so they could review my passport... The conclusionSo far doing business in US has been amazing. The service has been outstanding and we have had zero hiccups. The only bad service we had was with the IRS (it's been slow and frustrating). Other countries that want to attract businesses should really copy the model of the US and make it ridiculously easy to do business - even for people that are not their citizens or residents. The flawed concept of Good vs. Evil

I have a simple and neat productivity tip I want to share.
One of the things I noticed I do a lot (especially when presented with hard problems) is to procrastinate by opening my email, opening Hacker News or something similar. I think it's a fairly common thing for most people. The problem with this is that it's very unproductive: because the mind gets distracted, looses focus and needs to do constant context switching. It's also ruins Flow, a state you want to be in: There's a lot of scientific research on the matter that concludes that multi-tasking and constant context switching is really bad for your productivity. Back to the tip! It's really simple:
I have found out that this improves my productivity greatly. You should try it out :-) Home officeI also recently setup a pretty awesome home office (I don't work here all the days of the week, but the days I work here it's amazing): PyCon Russia - Redis, the hacker's database

Arbitrary waveform generator goes precise, fast, and long
Bill Schweber3/2/2011 11:54 AM EST
Arbitrary waveform generators (AWG) are the kind of test and measurement product that, when you need one, you really don't have much alternative. Unlike fixed-function generators, AWGs allow engineers to create almost any waveform and then control its timing, repeatability, and other parameters with ease and consistency. Some even let you add pseudorandom noise to the programmed clean waveform.
Agilent Technologies has just announced a high-end, high-performance AWG with a sophisticated internal topology. You can read two reports about it:
- "AWG goes for speed and resolution"
by Martin Rowe of Test & Measurement World, which also looks at the internal "resampling switch" technique, and
- "Agilent aims waveform generator at military scenarios"
by Nicolas Mokhoff of EE Times, which is more application- and market-focused. ♦

Artemisinin resistance has increased rapidly in the malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, along the border of Thailand and Myanmar, according to researchers from Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States (Phyo AP et al. Lancet. doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(12)60484-X [published online April 5, 2012]).
Rising failure rates with artemisinin-combination treatments (ACTs) have been noted in malaria clinics along the northwestern border of Thailand. In a study involving 3202 patients from these clinics who had been given oral ACTs over a 10-year period (2001-2010), the researchers found increases in the time taken to clear P falciparum parasites from the bloodstream, known as the parasite clearance half-life. The proportion of slow-clearing infections—with a half-life equal to or more than 6.2 hours—also increased during this decade, from 0.6% to 20%. Genetic analysis showed that this decline in clearance rates resulted from genetic factors that conferred artemisinin resistance.

Breitbart: Exclusive Document Debunks Myth About Obama's Columbia Years
- Post 20 May 2012
- By Copy Editor
Breitbart News' discovery of the 1991 biography distributed by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, which stated (incorrectly) that Obama had been "born in Kenya," confirmed what we have been saying for months as we pursued "The Vetting" project. Much of what the country ought to know about Obama, but does not, is hidden--often in plain sight--yet the mainstream media covers it up or spins it away to protect him.
The errant biography is only the most sensational example of a pattern of behavior in which Obama and his supporters manipulate or even fabricate his life story. And because Obama and his campaign have refused to provide other, relevant facts--and because the mainstream media shows such little interest in finding them--conspiracy theories flourish.
Some of these are easily debunked by conducting some very basic research. ... continues...

We can all agree that when growing up as a kid, if you had a successful brother or sister, it was hard to fill their shoes and lots of people reminded you of it. Well that's small talk to Marcus and Jeffery Jordan who's dad is by far the greatest basketball player to ever step foot on the court. Constantly having to hear "You're not as good as your dad" and "Why can't you play like your dad" has to be quite annoying no matter how high your confidence is. And although neither of the two have reached their dad's success, they are tremendously talented and have been successful thus far in their life on and off the basketball court.
Both brothers and teammate/friend A.J. Rompza teamed up with Blue Motion Productions to take a better look at their lives and focus more on them as individuals rather than just being known as "Jordan's sons". This is part 1 of 4 segments that will help us get to know each of the three a little better. Aside from doing this, Marcus Jordan is doing better than average on the basketball court as a junior at UCF. He's averaging 15 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds as he's leading his team to try for a NCAA Tournament bid with a 20-8 record.
Stay tuned for more to come with Marcus, Jeff and A.J. as the second part of the segment will be released next week. Also be sure to check out their official website Heir Jordan for more information regarding any of the three.

One year on Pakistan still unprepared for monsoon floods
Agency says more must be invested to help the country cope better with crises
One year on from the worst flooding in its history, Pakistan is still not prepared for this year's monsoon floods and other natural disasters, international aid agency Oxfam warned today.
In a new report, "Ready or Not: Pakistan's resilience to disasters one year on from the floods", the international agency said that millions of people were still struggling to recover from last year's floods and would fall even deeper into poverty if hit by floods again. Reconstruction after last year's floods is estimated to cost more than ten billion dollars, almost a quarter of the national budget; and further disasters will put an additional strain on the country's economy.
The mega floods of last year would have challenged any government and as a result of the emergency response led by Pakistani authorities thousands of lives were saved. However, the agency expressed concern about the pace of recovery and reconstruction, which has left millions of people unnecessarily exposed to another disaster.
Many destroyed flood defenses not yet repaired
Around 37,000 people affected by the 2010 floods are still living in camps in Sindh alone; and across the country, many of those who have returned to their villages have inadequate housing, with some still living in tents. More than 800,000 families are still without proper homes and many flood defenses, such as river embankments, destroyed in last year's floods, have not yet been properly repaired increasing the likelihood of breaches in future floods. For example, embankments in Sindh province have reportedly been increased by only 2 or 3 ft rather than the recommended 6ft.
Two to five million people are likely to be affected by floods during this year's monsoon season, according to the UN and Pakistani authorities. Hundreds of villages have already been affected and whole communities displaced by new flooding in Sindh and Punjab provinces in the last few weeks. River water levels are also rising in the northern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Villagers are worried about their harvests
Neva Khan, Head of Oxfam in Pakistan, said: "Villagers in areas where we work fear new flooding. Many are planting fewer crops than usual as they are worried that their harvests will be destroyed in fresh floods. In some areas, where fresh flooding has already begun, families have started to dismantle their houses and move to higher ground as they are scared of losing everything again.
"Pakistan is a disaster prone country and has been flooded 67 times since 1947. Climate change will only increase the threat of floods. But while floods and earthquakes are inevitable, widespread devastation is not. For years, not enough has been done to protect ordinary Pakistani men, women and children from disasters before they strike."
Oxfam said lives and scarce resources could be saved in the future if the Pakistan government, with support from international donors, invests more in measures to reduce the impact of disasters. This could include flood resistant housing, and effective early warning systems – especially at the village level. The agency also called for more funding for local authorities and organizations that play a frontline role in preparing for and responding to emergencies.
Disaster preparedness is affordable
In November, the World Bank and Asian Development Bank recommended Pakistan should invest $27 million, backed up with yearly top ups, to improve disaster management and reduce losses in future emergencies. Oxfam's report called on the government to implement this. This is affordable; the country has spent more than this on expenses of National Assembly members over the last two years (some $32 million). Oxfam also asked the government to deliver on its pledge to ring fence a minimum of two per cent of district budgets for disaster preparedness.
Oxfam urged donors to invest in measures to reduce the impact of disasters as a part of their overall aid packages for Pakistan. The agency challenged donors to allocate at least 10 per cent of humanitarian and recovery assistance to projects that mitigate the impact of disasters – a target that has been agreed globally, but has not been implemented.
Neva Khan said: "Pakistan needs to act now. Investing in measures today that reduce the impact of disasters is essential to save lives and safeguard development gains in the future. It will ensure schools built with aid funds are not washed away and that farmers can keep the crops they have toiled over. A year after Pakistan's mega floods it's time we learned this lesson."

Notes to Editors
- The 2010 floods were the worst ever in recorded history of Pakistan. Some 20m people were affected with 1,985 killed and another 2,964 injured.
- Pictures and VNR are available. They show communities in Punjab affected by fresh flooding this year. The VNR contrasts the experiences of those with disaster risk reduction measures in their communities and those without them. The VNR is available at https://app.aframe.com/links/19d70bdd019dffbbbceb9d6d445aec49
- Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) measures include contingency planning; developing early warning systems; holding evacuation drills; elevating houses and other areas for livestock and crop storage; building embankments; and spreading information campaigns so communities are better-able to prepare for emergencies. Oxfam runs DRR programmes in South Punjab, parts of Sindh, Kashmir, and Balochistan.

program tv4 na jutro
A good autosampler inserts lab examples in the inlets of a chromotograph. In the past, the functionality of the autosampler had been performed by hand. In addition to being time intensive, this technique positioned examples in danger for contamination, and the driver in danger for coming in contact with dangerous substances like Risky Natural Compounds (VOCs). Today, autosamplers have several mechanisms with regard to inserting selections instantly. For VOC analysis, probably the most useful of the systems could be the clear as well as trap kind, that purges substances from your example and program tv traps these within the concentrator, where they are heated. Various other autosampler attachment systems include:
S/SL shot systems, that habitually the actual small sample via a syringe through a septum. On-column outlet mechanisms, that insert the structure in the line with no heating system this. PTV injector systems, which habitually a low heating sample at a managed rate. Gasoline source inlet mechanisms, that insert the gaseous model into the transporter gasoline stream by using a switching valve that links to some example loop. Not only is it mechanically distinguishable from your installation systems above, this kind of mechanism can also be distinguishable because of its ability to separate low levels of VOCs along with other substances. A purge as well as snare autosampler is utilized for measuring ingredients in whose presence can just only be detected with a concentrator. This kind excels with sequestering trace amounts of materials that additional mechanisms may not catch. Water analysis, ground analysis, and also as well as drink evaluation almost all utilize the this approach to identify VOCs in infinitesimal quantities. According to the Environment Protection Agency's (EPA) "Test Methods for Assessing Strong Waste materials, Physical/Chemical Methods" (SW-486), you will find 2 techniques for testing a sample for VOC analysis: Purge as well as Trap Approach 5035B, in which a strong sample should go through methanol extraction, by having an radical in the removal being added to the particular system; and also program tv Shut down System Clear and also Pitfall Method 5035, in which the structure is actually sealed within an foolproof vial and after that examined without having breaking the actual close off. How the Clear and also Snare Approach Operates This technique consists of three actions that happen a lot of compounds becoming sent to the actual column via service provider gasoline: Service provider gas is bubbled from the small sample to discharge its substances The particular substances are generally released and also caught in the concentrator The actual concentrator is actually warmed until the compounds vaporize From the line, the particular vaporized compounds visit the particular detector just where their own characteristics are generally examined. Once the recognition process is full, the outcomes are generally shown for the data user interface from the chromotograph, and can be documented with a graph recorders when one is connected. Conclusion Purge as well as trap autosamplers assist in the detection associated with dangerous substances that occur from lower components per billion (ppb) levels. They also assist in the analysis involving fragrance compounds that affect as well as beverage flavor, chemicals which have an effect on crop growth, program tv in addition to chemical substances that influence marine life. For many scientists, the particular sample ability of the clear and trap concentrator is an indispensable reference. But affording the actual autosampler to provide it could be difficult. In such instances, purchasing a pre-owned autosampler could possibly be a great option, as long as the seller and also the equipment meet the correct circumstances. Because labs frequently purchase brand new gear each year to preserve their yearly budget, used laboratory products which is within outstanding problem are available using a small investigation. |

Teenage moms aren't a rarity. Just turn on MTV, and you'll have the option to look at plenty of child-rearing young ladies going through a stressful combination of motherhood and high school angst. Having taught in New York City public schools for eight years, I have seen plenty of teenage mothers, and for most (meaning most of the students with children I have encountered) of them their academic life stops at high school. Now yes, statistics show that there has actually been in a decline in the amount of teenage mothers since a peak in the 1990s, I still have a serious request for all of you: talk to your children about sex
Look, this should be a no-brainer. I mean I could just as easily replace "talk to your kids about sex" with "talk to your children about their friends, their likes and dislikes, the movies, their favorite music" and I'd still make a valid point. Talk to your children. When I am standing in front of a class full of children, the ones with the least amount of issues (all teenagers have issues. Come to think of it, so do all adults.) tend to be the ones whose parents talk to them.
But before you talk to your kids about sex, there are a few things you should know.
Abstinence only education doesn't work: Yes, the best way not to get pregnant is not to have sex, but let's face it, children don't always behave like the obedient robots we sometimes hope they'll be. Your children might have sex. And if, instead of ramming into their heads that sex before marriage is bad, why not also ram into their heads that in the (you hope unlikely) event they "do it" they'll use condoms.
Talk to them, don't preach to them: Tell your kids what your hopes are for them, ask them what they've heard from their friends. Ask them their thoughts. Listen to what they have to say. Yes, you're the parent. Yes, it's your responsibility to provide them guidance and values, but for the love of all that is good and holy in the world, talk to them. Speaking without listening just makes your children realize that you're not listening and prevents them from opening up to you in the future.
Use the actual words: Use "sex" and "condoms," not euphemisms. Euphemisms make serious things dirty, secretive, or juvenile.
I am not trying to indoctrinate you into when to "allow" your children to have sex. I am a religious Catholic, and anti-abortion (and anti-death penalty and a vegetarian before you accuse me of being inconsistent.), so I'm not saying to let your sons and daughters frolic in the street and get to know the entire town, but sex happens. You can ignore your children and become a young grandparent, or you can converse with them and let them be prepared in the event something happens.

I've always dreamed about going away for college, but after careful consideration I've decided to stay local for many reasons.
One, I don't really get along with a lot of girls. Yes, it seems a little snobby, but I'm just selective about who I associate with because I've been hurt so much in the past. Secondly, my college is 10 minutes from my house and it saves A LOT of money. I take the bus with my free student bus pass most days or carpool with a friend who lives local. I bring my own lunch or wait to eat lunch when I go home. I'm free to go to campus and go home whenever I choose.
Here are a few commuter tips that may help you.
1. Join a lot of clubs and activities. Just because you don't live on campus doesn't mean you can join in on all the college fun. I'm the secretary of my school's Honor Society, I volunteer a lot, I'm a part of the Criminal Justice Club, I'm a student senator and a soon to be member of mock trial. I'm totally busy and honestly, I spend about half of my time on campus even though I don't live there. It's a great way to make friends and it's not an excuse to say you don't have time to attend events. It's your choice if you want to do them or not.
2. Use the school library if you need it. Even though I have my own laptop and printer, I usually use the school computers so I don't have to carry around my heavy computer, plus printing on campus is a lot cheaper than printing at home with the ink prices. I also get distracted a lot with the TV and computer games on my laptop at home — the library is quiet and comfortable.
3. Bring your own food from home. It's so much cheaper and healthier. I made the mistake of eating the campus food and being too lazy to make a lunch. I was broke and I gained my freshman 15 in one semester. I made a change this semester and I hardly gained back any of the weight that I lost over the summer. Also, don't be afraid to utilize the campus gym if you have one — it's usually free to all students, including commuters.
4. Split your time between home and campus. This will allow you to have an even balance of both worlds: your family and your college experience. I know I'm super close to my family and now that I'm older, I can't imagine going to college without the support of them. I found my dorm experience to be a huge mistake. My family has been there through all the stressful nights, making me laugh and helping me with anything I may need. You also can't forget that college is supposed to be a major time of your life to find yourself. Don't depend on your family too much and make sure you have fun with people your own age. If you stay home all the time, you might end up getting depressed knowing you're not making the most of your time in college.

The effect of changing Southern Hemisphere winter sea surface temperatures on Southern Annular Mode strength
Marshall, Gareth J.; Connolley, William M.. 2006 The effect of changing Southern Hemisphere winter sea surface temperatures on Southern Annular Mode strength. Geophysical Research Letters, 33 (17), L17717. 4, pp. doi 10.1029/2006GL026627
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract/Summary
We examine the impact that changes in the winter Southern Hemisphere (SH) meridional sea surface temperature (SST) gradient have on the sign and strength of the SH Annular Mode (SAM). This is undertaken by perturbing either tropical or extra-tropical SSTs in an atmospheric General Circulation Model. Changes in winter tropical SSTs have little direct influence on the SAM but do force a strong wave train in geopotential height across the Southern Ocean. In contrast, changes in winter SSTs in the SH extra-tropics have a profound effect on the SAM: cooler SSTs strengthen the SAM and vice versa. The mechanism involves modifications to the Ferrel cell. As a positive (negative) SAM enhances (reduces) the extra-tropical meridional temperature gradient, these experiments demonstrate a positive feedback mechanism. SAM variability remains unchanged, indicating a shift in the mean, rather than a change in the probability distribution of its positive and negative phases

Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
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.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
Adam's Dream
While the specific "how" of our being made into the image of God will probably always remain a mystery, the Bible and creeds are clear on the "why" of our creation: we were made to worship the Lord, and be in relation with Him and each other.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 2b: The Whales' Tale
If evolution is true, whales are related to the even-toed hoofed mammals, and there should be transitional fossil forms dating from about 45 to 50 million years ago.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.

Dog safe after house fire
MIAMI (WSVN) -- A dog is lucky to be alive after a fire broke out in a South Florida home.
Firefighters cut through the roof of a house in Northwest Miami-Dade to put out the blaze on Thursday.
The dog, lived up to his name Lucky, ran out when firefighters opened the door.
The owner is glad the situation did not become worse. "I was worried that my family was in the house, but thank God there was nobody in the house, and that's it," said Edgar Vargas. "I just got over here, and then the dogs were safe, and there is nothing I can do now. Just wait and see what happens."
One other dog was in the backyard at the time. He was is OK.
The home sustained minimal smoke damage.

Craig Fitzgerald: "We're still getting strong, we're still greedy"
In post game interviews, we've heard numerous players credit Penn State strength and conditioning coach Craig Fitzgerald and his staff with their success through the midway point of the season, and in the fourth quarter in particular. Against Northwestern a few weekends ago, the Nittany Lions put together a 22 point fourth quarter, and the defense shut out the Wildcats in the final quarter, to survive with a 39-28 win.
Players say that they feel healthier, stronger, and fresher than they ever had through this point in previous seasons. Fitzgerald's in season plan calls for working a lot of the smaller muscle groups, and doing balance work, while still focusing on adding strength.
"We're still getting strong, we're still greedy." he notes in the clip, which highlights the work that him and director of training services Tim Bream put in.
At about the two minute mark of the clip, Bream demonstrates a pretty sweet NASA inspired anti-gravity treadmill and how they utilize it to get injured players back on their feet.

Punters call for laptops with built-in mobiles
GSM/Microsoft ask 'how can we improve your notebooks'?
Steps to Take Before Choosing a Business Continuity Partner
The most sought-after notebook computer improvement is the addition of a built-in mobile phone, a survey has found.
Microsoft teamed up with the GSM Association (GSMA), a trade body which promotes mobile phone adoption and standardisation, to ask punters what they would really like in their notebook computers.
Pyramid Research carried out the survey of 12,000 punters across 13 countries, and found that 88 per cent of respondents would like to see mobile broadband built into their sub-$1,000 notebooks.
We'd all like to see instantaneous access to the internet from wherever we are, ideally for free, so it's unsurprising that those surveyed felt the same. One can only wonder what the other 12 per cent were hoping for.
The survey also found that 60 per cent of respondents would happily buy a mobile contract with their notebook, but only 15 per cent were interested in an additional module to handle phone-network connectivity, currently the most popular way of achieving ubiquitous internet access.
To encourage development of embedded GSM technology, the GSMA is asking manufacturers to send over their designs, and promises to show off the best one come the Mobile World Congress (the show formerly know as 3GSM) in February.
Network operators have been keen to support the idea, which should also come as no surprise, but they should be worried by the details of the study.
Fifty-seven per cent of those who want to see a mobile phone embedded in their notebook computer are in the Asia Pacific region, only 15 per cent come from North America (possibly due to the pervasiveness of Wi-Fi), and a mere 11 per cent were from Europe, perhaps reflecting European cynicism over the cost of mobile data. ®
I was in the other 12%
I asked for a free pony and laptop saddle bags with every purchase not a phone!
My Win 98 toughbook from work has GSM built in. It can't be that hard 9 years later.
US Punters...
It's not the availability of WiFi, but the lousy coverage of the networks. I've tested a few cellular network cards, and they vary in effectiveness depending on the region. One card works well here in NYC, but lousy in Boston. Another works well in the suburbs of CT but not in Florida. There are dead spots between NYC and Westchester where no one can get a signal.
Add to that the lackluster speed and high cost.
Another drawback is that you can't share the connection at home with the desktop, so it's yet another contract that you have to pay for. It's not going to replace your cell phone since you don't want to have to fire up the laptop every time you need to take a call.
You can use your existing cell phone to connect your laptop to the internet, but the rates are outrageous and the speed unspectacular.
We don't need GSM built in; they need to address coverage, speed and cost.

With the GTX 600-series slightly more than a year old, NVIDIA is now ready to start refreshing their GeForce lineup once again. The first card out of the gate is their GTX 780, a $649 GK110-based flagship which boasts performance that's within spitting distance of the ultra expensive GTX TITAN.
Seagate has begun a complete top to bottom refresh of their hard drive lineup and the Desktop HDD.15 4TB is their latest addition. This HDD houses impressive amounts of storage space and even though its 5900RPM speed may be slow by today's standards, performance is actually quite surprising.
