Evil Frosty Paws

A quick bowl of festive oatmeal before church:

We had our incredibly grueling (haha) orientation for teaching children’s church this morning. I’m so excited! Kevin and I are going to be team teaching K-3 kids starting in January. I haven’t taught a word since June, and I’m really missing it!!! I really shine with a pointer in my hand!

I was feeling bad for Boyd today. I don’t know why I never learn. As Kevin says (almost daily),”You’re sure lucky you’re cute.” Well, Boyd has been suffering a bit of cabin fever lately so I decided to take him out for a little Sunday afternoon run. I did 10 miles yesterday so I wanted to just take it easy anyways.

The path looks pretty clear where I snapped this shot, but there were some areas that were just packed down snow (& ice!!). Boyd the Boykin wanted to run in the snowbank. I KNOW he lies awake at night thinking up new ways to irritate me.

I stopped on 3 separate occasions to whitewash his snotty little puppy face. I really did it! He was being so frustrating!! I know there will be an outcry from his fans, but he deserved it!! I was actually a little nervous because he was pulling so hard in places where I didn’t really have excellent footing.

We did a little out & back course, and on the way back we started freezing. I was wearing my extremely warm Nike pants and my Lululemon jacket. I’m usually always overdressed when I’m wearing either of those two clothing items, but today was different.  Brrrrrrrrrr!! So I was extra annoyed by Boyd’s rebellious behavior. When I tried to wrangle him my hand would get soo cold!!

Frosty paws ;) We amazingly made it 4.36 miles without anybody getting thrown into traffic or slipping and breaking their hip.

I was mad as a hornet when I got home with him, but apparently it didn’t take me too long to forgive the evil Boykin.

I found out today how much Boyd loves peanut butter! I know this is common for dogs, but he was CRAZY for it. I was trying to move him so I could get better lighting for a photo and he growled fiercer than I have EVER heard him. There was no getting in between him and that pb!!!

Have you ever been whitewashed? I had a friend who took it upon himself to do it to me every. single. winter. Until I was like 18 or 19!! I’m glad he doesn’t read my blog because I’m sure he wouldn’t be opposed to bringing that back (please don’t tell him, Lizzie!!).

How was your weekend? Too short. Like always. Still haven’t gotten the Christmas decorations up. The 2 of them that we have.

What type of gift exchange do you do with your husband/wife? Kevin and I have been deliberating. I have a hard time limiting myself when it comes to gift buying. I always have so many great ideas!!!!!!!! We’re also trying to figure out when we should exchange them since we will be traveling to Minnesota during the holidays and we still want to have our own little first Christmas together!! :)

One of Those Mornings…

I’m tired of naming things Newlywed Diet Number ___ … so I’ve upgraded to using more fascinating post titles like the one you see above.

I loosed the Boyd Monster on the girls this morning when I decided it was time for them to wake up. Doesn’t he look like a doll on the bottom right? Really, he was absolutely wild and licking them like crazy!!!!!!!

We woke up this morning to find that the refrigerator door had been left open. The food was actually WARM to the touch. Not just not cold. Warm. For once, I was not the culprit, but I shall leave her unnamed. That was not a pleasant start to our day. I had to send the husband out for milk for our breakfast cereal and replacement chicken for the lunch I had planned for Deidre Marie.

I had to eat my breakfast all by my lonesome this morning due to all the craziness, and I let the little girlies sleep in. Cascadian Farms Chocolate O’s x2 + apples. Deidre and I practiced making some homemade goldfish crackers for her son’s upcoming first birthday bash. We’re making them in a secret surprise fun shape. Really, it’s only a secret surprise because I didn’t get any great pictures. :)

This active guy kept us company while we “worked.”

Week 31!

Holy crap, I am 31 weeks pregnant!

I can't believe how time has flown, this little guy or gal will be here in NO time.

I am still feeling pretty great, besides the shortness of breath and potty breaks every 30 minutes.

I read today in an email that to help with the frequent potty trips, I should "double void." Meaning, pee. sit for a second. pee again.

So I tried it - fail.  I wish I could double void my bladder, then I maybe I would just go every hour.

I am also struggling with pregnancy brain, which I have assured myself time and again that this so called pregnancy brain is a myth.  I am beginning to rethink my previous position.  I actually left my phone in Menard's  today.  Hubbs was not happy when we had to turn around and trek back to the store.  Luckily someone turned it in and all is well.

I had a pretty great day with the Hubbs today, some shopping, some eating, then a trip to the bakery.  I am now back home chilling on the couch while he plays on the iPad.  The only thing missing is a cute little cuddly baby in my arms, which for now will just have to remain in my belly.

If you can remember to do so, and you believe in the power of prayer, there are two children I would like you all to remember when you talk to God today.  One is hospitalized after being beat and burned by her father.  Last I heard she was still in serious condition but improving.  It breaks my heart that someone could harm a child and inflict pain in such a manner.  This incident happened in my hometown and I do not know them personally.

The second child is a girl I know and love very dearly.  She spent a lot of time at our home before we relocated and we get to see her every once in a while when we go back and visit.  Her father has decided to sign over his rights to her.  Her stepfather is willing to take on those rights and take responsibility for her, but she is old enough to know what all this means.  She has always felt unwanted by her father, and I know she is hurting now and feeling unwanted.  We went to town today and wanted to take her with us for a while, but we couldn't reach her Mom by phone.

Please pray for these children who are enduring physical, emotional, and mental pain.  I know they would appreciate it. Oh- and have a good week!

Tax Season.. and giveaways!

Being that it is tax season.. there are not going to be a lot of updates from me, and I will not be entering as many giveaways, which is WAY sad :(

I am working 6 days a week, so the free time I have is going to be spent with the hubs :)

But while you are here, go check out A Modern Girl's Guide! to win a cleaning supply kit from seventh generation or a bendaroos package!

A Quantitative Approach to Baraminology With Examples from the Catarrhine Primates

D. Ashley Robinson and David P. Cavanaugh

Quantitative methods for identifying holobaramins have yet to be introduced into the field of baraminology. In this report we examine some quantitative methods which may be applied to a variety of biological data to empirically estimate the identity of holobaramins. Organismal relationships are based on a measure of dissimilarity called baraminic distance. A set of diagnostic statistics is described that allows the researcher to assess the completeness, variation, resolving power, and associations within a data set. Bootstrapped dendrograms are constructed to identify clusters of organisms, which are subsequently evaluated for phylogenetic discontinuity by comparing baraminic distance variation, and by correlating sets of baraminic distances. Using this approach both related monobaraminic groups and unrelated apobaraminic groups can be identified. The described methods are illustrated using data from humans and nonhuman primates, a group assumed by baraminologists to be polybaraminic. We have found that baraminic distances based on hemoglobin amino acid sequences, 12S-rRNA sequences, and chromosomal data were largely ineffective for identifying the Human holobaramin. Baraminic distances based on ecological and morphological characters, however, were quite reliable for distinguishing humans from nonhuman primates.

Diet, Health and Evolution

Jerry Bergman

Evidence is accumulating that food is critically important medicine and that the wrong diet is the major cause of death in the western world. This paper reviews the empirical research on nutrition. The conclusion is that a Biblical diet high in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and low in fat and red meat is critical for good health. Historically, physicians have tended to downgrade the importance of diet in health, an attitude which began changing with the discovery that vitamin C could cure scurvy and vitamin B1 supplements could cure beriberi.

Nutrition is now seen as so critically important that it is often a major adjunct in the curing of disease and is recognized as critically important in the prevention of disease. The high level of compatibility between the food made by plants and the nutritional needs of humans is discussed from both the creationistís and evolutionistís standpoint. It is concluded that the creationistsí explanation, that vegetables with grains and fruits and nuts were specifically designed for human consumption, fits the evidence better than the evolutionary assumption.

Flood Geology Sheds Light on Unaweep Canyon Mystery

Michael Shaver

The topography of West Central Colorado provides challenges for historical geology. The scale of features necessitates a cataclysmic process in order to accommodate a young earth chronology. Implications for current creationist theories regarding the rapid formation of the Grand Canyon are described. Steam superposition at Unaweep Canyon is an area for creationist research. This involves issues regarding the incision of Unaweep Canyon into crystalline rock and the time of canyon formation. The author proposes multiple episodes of drainage of flood waters.

The Big Sky Paving Gravel Deposit Cascade County, Montana

Peter Klevberg

Gravel-capped buttes, benches, and pediments are common in Montana east of the continental divide. One such gravel deposit near Great Falls, Montana, has been extensively mined by Big Sky Paving, Inc. Gravel fabric, sorting, bedding, load structures, and an associated clay rhythmite unit within the gravel deposit are described in this paper. A brief summary of traditional genitive explanations is presented. However, the characteristics of the Big Sky Paving deposit appear to be at variance with these uniformitarian explanations. A biblical approach to earth history provides superior explanations for the depositional features of this deposit.

Flood geology

From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science

(Redirected from Flood Geology)
Jump to: navigation, search
Geologic map of North America identifying the exposed layers of the geological column

Flood geology is the field of geology that deals with the effects of catastrophic flooding, and how such events have shaped geologic formations. Creation geology is based on the assumption that the Biblical flood described in the book of Genesis was a real and historical event of global magnitude, and is therefore also known as flood geology. Creation geologists seek primarily to show that Earth's geologic features are best interpreted within the scope of this Biblical cataclysm; including sedimentary strata, fossilization, fossil fuels, submarine canyons, plate tectonics, salt domes and frozen mammoths.

Flood geology is a historical science that is premised on catastrophism and the rejection of uniformitarianism. Creation geologists develop models based upon the historicity of the global flood, which are testable and falsifiable. Interestingly, the difference between flood models and the interpretations of naturalistic geologists is largely just one of intensity. All geologists today accept the view that allows for major catastrophes interspersed among large time periods of near stasis. In contrast, Creation model put a series of closely related cataclysmic events into a short period of time. Flood geologists explain strata with reference to catastrophes like the eruption of Mount St. Helens, which carved out enormous canyons and laid down large amounts of rock strata within the space of a single day.

Creation geologists reject radiometric dating because the idea of deep time (millions and billions of years) is required for the dates of rock layers to be accepted as real. Since the flood and the flood layers are known in creationism to be less than 5000 years old, computed old dates are completely irrelevant to any flood model.

From the Grand Canyon, a transported quartzite block in Cambrian sedimentary strata, identical to quartzite found in the Precambrian layer hundreds of feet below, which flood geologists argue most likely came to rest there by means of large-scale flowing water. Note how the sediments flow smoothly around the upper left corner of the block.

If the global flood actually occurred, then it would have had a radical effect on geology, and traces of that flood would be observable today, making flood models falsifiable.

80% of the Earth's crust is covered by sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed by deposition by water, wind or ice, precipitation from solution, and /or growth in position by organic processes (e.g., carbonate reefs). Layered rock strata are understood to have formed as suspended sediments settled out of moving water. Some flood geologists have proposed that a global flood is the most reasonable explanation for the means by which sedimentary layers came to cover so much of the continents.

Strata formation

Rapid deposition by mudflow

Flood geologists believe that rock strata are best understood as being rapidly deposited during the Global flood. They document their position with observations made at catastrophic events such as the eruption of the Mt. St. Helens volcano. During the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, stratified layers up to 400 feet thick formed as a result of landslides, pyroclastic flows, mudflows, etc. Fine laminae from only a millimeter thick to more than a meter high formed in just a few seconds each. A deposit more than 25 feet in thickness, and containing upwards of 100 thin layers accumulated in just one day on June 12, 1980. Given the total inability of radiometric dating to date rock strata (see radiometric dating problems), documented instances such as Mt. St. Helens to support a catastrophic interpretation of rock strata, and the inability of uniformitarianism to explain fossilization (as discussed below), flood geologists have concluded that rock strata are best interpreted as having been laid down rapidly in a massive catastrophe such as the Global flood of Noah.

A plume of sandstone, identical to a layer of sandstone several hundred feet below the surface, which flood geologists argue is most reasonably explained by liquefaction during the flood compression event, cementing, and subsequent erosion.

Liquefaction, a phenomenon commonly seen in quicksand and earthquakes, is the process by which water pressing up from underneath sand or soil converts the sand into a suspension. Some flood geologists have argued that during a global flood, liquefaction would have occurred on a massive scale. They argue that in a global flood scenario, the tides would be unhindered by continents, creating enormous waves circling the globe. This, in concert with tsunamis from underwater earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and landslides, would cause wave loading: alternating periods of high and low downward pressure on subterranean water. The resulting periods of liquefaction and non-liquefaction would cause the sediments to layer into strata. Geological action while the sediments were still liquefied would cause the strata to bend smoothly in places, while earthquakes would cause radical discontinuities in others.

These flood geologists argue that massive liquefaction can explain phenomena such as transported blocks, sand plumes, coal and limestone deposits, the near total purity of the 500,000 sq. mile St. Peter Sandstone, smooth bending rock strata, and aquifers, and which remain inadequately explained by mainstream geology.[1]

In contrast, recent plume experiments by creationist geologists at Creation Evidence Museum at Glen Rose, Texas, have shown that moving water always creates sedimentary layering and liquefaction always destroys layering. Given the vast amount of sedimentary layers around the world, liquefaction is argued to have played a very minor part in the geologic record. (See the video below.)

Sigmoidal shaped crossbed forms, commonly found in sandstone formations, are usually attributed to aeolian desert "sand dune" conditions. The high angle of the cross bedding is consistent with sub-aerial sand dunes. However, heavily loaded, high energy water currents flowing into ponded water also deposit high angle subaqueous sigmoidal cross beds. The size of the sigmoidal cross beds is determined by a combination of water depth and velocity.[2] The Coconino and Navajo sandstones from Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico are consistent with formation beneath floodwaters.

Canyon formation

Submarine canyons

As the continents divided and the flood subsided, the water would flow into the new low-lying areas, which would fill to become seas, leaving the sediments to dry out of their liquefied state. The runoff during this period predicts the creation of extensive submarine canyon extensions to rivers, as the level of the sea would be much lower during this time, so that the rivers would remain rivers far out into today's "seas." Such extensions are found in the Congo, Amazon, Ganges, and Hudson rivers. They extend for thousands of miles underwater, thousands of feet under the sea; they are as deep as the Grand Canyon in places, and although not well understood by the mainstream scientific community, they are generally understood to have developed when sea-levels were significantly lower than today. Flood geologists argue that such submarine canyon extensions were formed as the floodwaters receded from the continents.

Land canyons

Flood geologists also conclude that land canyons such as the Grand Canyon were most likely formed during catastrophic hot mud slides such as those observed during the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. One particular hot mud slide at Mt. St. Helens carved a canyon 140 ft. deep and 17 miles long in a single day. Only a thin creek remains at the bottom of the canyon today, which would likely be interpreted as having carved the canyon "over millions of years," if it were not known first-hand that the canyon was carved in a single day.

Loess formation

Loess is a geologic term that refers to deposits of silt (sediment with particles 2-64 microns in diameter) that have been laid down by wind action (aeolian activity to geologists). As Genesis records:

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. Genesis 8:1 (NASB)

As the wind blew and the flood waters receded, the mountain tops would have been the first to be exposed. The hydrologically sorted sediments from the land areas first exposed would then be carried by the wind and deposited elsewhere. We would thus expect loess deposits to be associated with high altitudes as we find in the Loess Plateau, China.

Loess Plateau in mainland China.

The loess in China is not very far away from the Tibetan plateau[3], which is known as the 'roof of the world'. The Ordos Desert, the Loess Plateau's current source of sediments, is just north the Loess Plateau, however the Tibetan plateau could have been an earlier source of sediments. While the Loess Plateau is 300 m thick, the deposits consist of different types of material, and there is red clay underlying the upper layers of loess. While the upper layers (162.5 m[4]) do show evidence of being deposited by wind,[5] the underlying red clay does not show such a pattern, suggesting the possibility that the red clay may be flood deposits while the loess is post-flood, with most of it deposited during the early post-flood period by massive post-flood sand storms.

The flood provided an excellent environment for the required quick burial of fossils. Preservation of complete animal or plant remains requires quick burial by sediments. Dead animals or plants which are not buried quickly decompose or are eaten before they can become preserved. Fossils are often found buried in hundreds of feet of solid, unbroken rock strata. Flood geologists infer that those rock strata were laid down in a relatively quick period, burying the organisms before they had time to decompose.

Flood geologists point to the existence of large oil deposits as the result of the accumulation of large amounts of dead plant and animal matter during the flood which were subsequently compressed below the surface. They argue that there is no evidence of fossil fuels being formed today, or any clear mechanism for how it could occur without catastrophe. They argue that the flood provides the necessary catastrophe.

Fossil pattern mechanisms

A major aspect of flood geology is attempting to describe and explain the distribution of fossils throughout the rock strata. Because the uniformitarian model dismisses outright any fossils which conflict with their model,[6] no quantification of such fossils is possible. Creationists have proposed numerous mechanisms able to produce fossil patterns during flood conditions. See flood mechanics for further explanation of this.

Ecological zonation

Organisms living in the same habitat would tend to get buried in similar rock at similar depths. Those in the same area and habitat would tend to be found in the same rock, while those near by in a different habitat would tend to be found in different rock. Also organisms living on the bottom of a body of water would tend to be found lower than those living on hills on land, with shore dwellers being in the middle.

Hydrological sorting

The remains of animals, particularly invertebrates, would tend to sort like any other form in moving water. Buoyancy, size and shape would all be factors. Buoyancy is one factor that cannot be determined from fossils.

Hydrological sorting in flowing water results in stratification moving horizontally as seen above rather than vertically. A typical cross section of such deposits is the same as is seen in the strata seen in rocks.[7][8]

Differential Escape

More mobile and faster organisms would tend to seek higher ground.[7] This separates organisms based on motility and at least in part intelligence. This would tend to separate men from trilobites, amphibians, and dinosaurs.

Biogeographic zonation

Animals which lived in the same area would tend to be found together. Those from other parts of the world would not be found with them. For example if a global flood occurred today, one would not expect to find elephants and opossums buried together.

Tectonic activity

By itself tectonic activity would not affect fossil order. But it could have pushed some strata over others before the sediment hardened. There is evidence of this at the Ghadames Basin.

Puzzling fossils explained

Layered rock

This is a chip of concrete with visible layers, evident by edge chipping.

Standard concrete can provide a good model for how layered rock has formed, such as those of the Green River Formation. The picture at right shows a slab taken after a concrete spill occurred. Several layers of concrete formed as a result of the spill, which resemble the layers observed in slabs from Green River Formation.

Slab from the Green River Formation

The image at left is a fossil fish in a slab from the Green River Formation, which has multiple visible layers. Such specimens are often found as polystrate fossils, passing through many layers. Furthermore this fish has been flattened indicating that it was exposed to significant pressure before it was fossilized. These conditions strongly argue in favor of catastrophic burial.

Same type of edge chipping

The same type of edge chipping can be seen in the slab as in the concrete. This strongly suggests that the Green River Formation resulted from liquefied material resembling concrete, such as massive mud slides. This may have been a post flood lake that had large mud slides dumped into it, rather than the annual deposits claimed by evolutionists. The mudslides could have been from the break up of other large post flood lakes.

Mud Cracks

Desiccation Cracks in Concrete
Subsurface Desiccation Cracks in Concrete
Desiccation cracks are usually formed by drying mud. Since such cracks usually form only at the surface, subsurface desiccation cracks have been used as a claim against flood geology. However, at the concrete spill mentioned above dried desiccation cracks formed in concrete, which closely resemble those found in the fossil record. Interestingly subsurface cracks were also found to have formed in drying concrete as shown in the image at left.
Click on image to see similar cracks in a natural rock.

This illustrates a mechanism for the formation of dessication cracks following liquefaction. It is also a clear example of how fossil subsurface "mud" cracks as it dries. The cracks formed in the lower layer without it being on the surface.

Fossil burrows

The first assumption is that fossil burrows are actually burrows rather than some other types of structures. This assertion is moot.

The other assumption is that fossil burrows are dwellings but there is evidence suggesting that they are attempted escape routes of buried organisms. If a burrowing organism is suddenly buried it won't accept death passively. It will try to dig its way out. Fossil burrows are consistent with this.[9]

Fossil footprints

There are at least five possible explanations for fossil animal tracks. It needs to be noted that none of these are mutually exclusive and none explain all fossil tracks, but together they seem to do a good job of explaining them all.

  • Misinterpretations are features in rocks such as air bubbles, that happen to cause a track like pattern. These probably account for only a small portion of fossil tracks and then only those attributed to small animals.
  • Post-flood disasters are cases where tracks are covered by sediment layers that were laid down by disasters that followed the flood.
  • Post-flood tracks in soft flood sediment include cases in which the tracks were made post flood on exposed sediment, that had not yet hardened into rock. It could also occur in places where small pieces of rock came loose and were liquefied by rain or another source of water into a concrete type mixture, that hardened after an animal crossed it. This second type would be found separate from the main formation, but would be of the same type of rock.
  • Small buried animal trapped in an air bubble is when an animal is caught in an air bubble and was able to move some before it died.
  • Early flood tracks are footprints that were made while their habitats were being buried. Many animals would not have been killed instantly, but could have survived much of the early part of the flood. During the early stages tides and other fluctuations in water levels would expose portions of sediment. Animals would tend to seek exposed land. Those that made it to such places would leave tracks. In places where the water came and went several times, the same animal could have left several layers of tracks.

Some of the observations which support this hypothesis are:

  1. Dinosaur tracks[10] at Utah and Colorado are associated with coal mines, which suggest that the tracks were made while their forests were in the process of being buried.
  2. McKee and later researchers[11] discovered that the Coconino sandstone below the footprints of the Hermit Trail consisted of coarser grains, while finer grains were above these footprints. This is expected from hydrologic sorting.
  3. Gilmore (1927)[12] pointed out that of the hundreds of trackways that have been observed, almost all of them are going up the slopes of the cross bedded layers. This is expected from animals seeking higher ground.[13]

High-altitude marine sediments

Marine sediments[14] have been found on top of Mount Everest, implying that the flood covered the highest mountains, though this does not imply that Everest was at its current height at the beginning of the flood, if it existed at all.

Eco-tourism guide who smuggled live snakes onto plane to Dallas gets probation

Samuel L. Jackson in a scene from "Snakes On A Plane."

An East Texas eco-tourism guide who admitted to smuggling live snakes aboard a flight to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport was sentenced Monday to three years of probation, authorities said.

William Lamar, 63, of Tyler, kept all seven snakes in his jacket during flights he took from Lima, Peru to Dallas in August 2012, according to the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Texas.

Lamar pleaded guilty in June to importing wildlife taken in violation of foreign law.

Lamar bought the snakes at a market in Lima. He took them aboard flights from Lima to Miami and then from Miami to Dallas.

The following day, TSA agents refused to let him board a commuter flight to Tyler with the snakes. So Lamar took a shuttle from the airport to his home in Tyler.

Game Wardens went to Lamar’s home and seized the snakes.

The U.S. attorney’s office has said Peruvian law prohibits the exportation of wild live animals from the forest or jungle region without proper authorization for “either scientific investigation or for cultural diffusion.”

Despite recent news headlines highlighting criminal attacks against Muslims, anti-Muslim hate crimes are relatively rare. According to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) data, Blacks, Jews, and homosexuals are much more frequently the target of hate attacks.

In 2008, 1,606 hate crimes motivated by religious bias were reported across the country. Of those, 1,055, or 65.7 percent, were anti-Jewish. In the same year, 123 hate crimes, or 7.7 percent were anti-Islamic.

Crimes targeting Muslims dropped by more than 75 percent since they peaked at 481 in 2001. Some worry though that the national debate focused on the proposed mosque to be built near ground zero in New York is provoking another spike in anti-Muslim attacks.

Original Article

Early Friday morning on October 9th, 49 year old Jack Price went to the corner deli in his middle-class neighborhood in Queens, New York to buy a pack of cigarettes. Shortly after leaving the deli, Price was confronted by two men yelling anti-gay slurs who proceeded to savagely beat him.

Price suffered a broken jaw, fractured ribs, collapsed lungs and a ruptured spleen. He was placed in a medically induced coma while the police searched for his attackers. Two young men, Daniel Aleman, 26, and Daniel Rodriguez, 21, were arrested and charged with assault and aggravated assault as a hate crime, a felony.

A hate crime, also known as a bias crime, occurs when the crime is motivated by prejudice against the victim’s perceived race, religion, ethnicity, disability, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Hate Crime Statistics (2008)

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), there were 7,783 hate crime incidents reported in 2008, approximately half of which were racially motivated. The rest of the incidents were motivated by religion (19.5%), sexual orientation (16.7%), ethnicity (11.5%), and disability (1.0%).

The majority of the racial bias incidents targeted African-Americans; the majority of ethnicity bias incidents were against Hispanics; the majority of religious bias incidents were anti-Jewish (65.7%); the majority of sexual orientation bias incidents involved male homosexuals (58.6%), and approximately half of the disability bias incidents were against persons with mental disabilities.

The hate crimes were carried out against both property and persons. Most of the property offenses involved vandalism and damage to property. The majority of hate crimes targeting individuals involved intimidation, followed by assault.

Hate Crimes Legislation

On October 28, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. This law expands the definition of a federal hate crime to include crimes motivated by a victim’s actual or perceived disability, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity–i.e., transsexual and transgender persons.

The bill is named after two victims of bias-motivated murders, Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr.  Shepard, a gay Wyoming college student, died after being kidnapped, tortured and murdered in October 1998. That same year, Byrd, an African-American man, was dragged to death and decapitated by two white supremacists in Texas.

In addition to the federal government, forty-five states and the District of Columbia have laws criminalizing various types of hate crimes. They all ban crimes motivated by race, ethnicity and religion, and the majority also cover sexual orientation, disability and gender.

Hate Speech Not a Hate Crime

Hate speech is protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution. Under the free speech clause, the federal government and state governments are forbidden from restricting speech, and prohibited from prosecuting people who merely advocate violence against racial, ethnic, or gender minorities.

According to Attorney General Eric Holder, the newly-enacted federal hate crimes law would only be used to prosecute violent acts based on bias, as opposed to the prosecution of speech based on controversial racial or religious beliefs.

Question For Your Attorney

  • What should I do if I have been a victim of a hate crime?
  • There are people that keep making threatening remarks to me because of my race (sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, or religion). I’m scared. What can I do to protect myself from harm?

Here are your three stars of the first game, represented in GIF format:

1) Mike Richards

It didn’t take long for Mike Richards to understand what Alex Burrows deserves. I can’t decide what is stronger- my love for Mike Richards or my hatred for Alex Burrows. If I could make an animated GIF a desktop background I would make it out of this. Or a tattoo. Or a paint color.

2) Jonathan Quick

Quick looks like a transformer or something with that 180 degree wingspan.. or legspan. Not even fair.

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Programming assignment 1

Assigned: Jan. 17
Due: Feb. 7

Implement a program that solves the KNAPSACK problem using iterative deepening over the search space described in problem 1, problem set 1.

Input format

The program should take its input from standard input. The input file will contain a number of problems in sequence. Each problem has the following format.

First line. "***"
Second line. Capacity.
Third line. Quota.
Fourth line. Number of objects
Remaining lines: 1 line per object. Name, weight, and value, separated by blanks.

There can be any number of blank lines separating problems.

You may assume that:
There are at most 20 objects.
A name is a single alphabetical character.
All quotas, capacities, weights, and values are integers.

For example, an input file containing the two examples in the problem set would have the following form:

A 70 80
B 50 50
C 50 50

A 70 260
B 60 245
C 50 200
D 40 100
E 30 80
F 20 65
G 10 60
H 10 60
I  1 10

The program should give its output in standard output. It should have the following form:
"Solution:" Set of objects in solution.
"Total weight:" Total weight
"Total value:" Total value
"Number of nodes in last pass:" Number of nodes generated in final iteration of the outside loop of the iterative deepening
"CPU time:" Total CPU time required.
If no solution exists, then the output for the program should be just "No solution".

For example, the output for the first problem above might be

Solution: {B,C}
Total weight: 100
Total value: 100
Number of nodes in last pass: 3
CPU time: 1 msec.

Test file:

A test file with 20 sample problems will be made available here. .

You may write your program in Pascal, C, or Java. If you want to use any other language, you must get the approval of the grader. The program should be well-structured and commented.

The program must use iterative deepening. No more than half credit will be given for a program that uses any other method of solution.

You should email to the grader:

Running correctly: 75%.
Well-written code: 20%
Well commented: 5%

Quality Check-Up Visit begins tomorrow

logoColumbus State will welcome Higher Learning Commission (HLC) reviewers Dr. Cheryl Carpenter-Davis and Dr. George Johnston to campus Tuesday, September 18 through Thursday, September 20 for the college’s Quality Check-Up Visit.  The Check-Up Visit occurs in the final year of the seven-year AQIP process of accreditation.

During the visit, Drs. Carpenter-Davis and Johnston will meet with teams from across campus to discuss everything the college is doing, from action projects and federal compliance, to strategic planning, governance, community engagement and student projects.  They will meet individually with faculty, staff and student panels.  A large group of community leaders will come to campus to discuss their partnerships with Columbus State.  The college’s “Systems Portfolio” and Columbus State’s response to the Higher Learning Commission’s feedback on that portfolio will also be presented.

After the Quality Check-Up Visit, the Higher Learning Commission will provide a report that outlines their findings.  Consideration for Columbus State’s Reaffirmation of Accreditation will then be completed by a full HLC review panel by the end of the year.

Columbus State Bicentennial calendars in the mail to employees

In February, students from the Hospitality Management Baking class helped Columbus celebrate the city’s 200th birthday by designing and creating a series of Columbus landmark cakes, including the LeVeque Tower, the Capitol building, Nationwide, the Columbus Zoo and even the airport!  The cakes were presented to guests at the party held in Battelle Hall, photographed with their student creators, and then quickly devoured.

Later in the year, Columbus State photography students were sent on assignment to photograph each of the same landmarks, and the winning photos were combined with the cake photos to create a souvenir 18-month calendar to give to guests at the 2012 Taste the Future scholarship fundraiser, which also honored the Bicentennial, with Mayor Coleman serving as the honorary chair.
