God: Does He Exist?
Author: Doug Sharp
Subject: Apologetics
There is an aching sense gripping Americans today that something is missing from their lives. Change is taking place at lightning speed, giving use new technology and conveniences we have never known before. Yet it seems that our quality of life is deteriorating, not improving. The accumulation of these "conveniences" creates a cutthroat pace of life that is always demanding for more of our time and resources. We have to run as fast as we can just to stay in one place. The overwhelming number of choices we have to make, a thousand places we have to be, and hundreds of dangerous traps and pitfalls amplifies this feeling.
Many people seek out God for help. They go to church hoping to find answers to their questions and relief from the stormy pace of life. But, usually the result is at best superficial, and in some cases harmful. Often, church people disagree on what is right and wrong and their lives exhibit no more quality than those who stay home do. Some churchgoers are outright unbelievers. It seems that many churches have been stripped of any knowledge of the power of God, and are reduced to no more than social clubs. It is no wonder that a vast majority of colleges, universities and governments ignore God as if he does not exist. But, is that the most logical conclusion?
There are a select few that clearly show the influence of God on their life. Their lives are marked by a love that sacrifices self for others. The fruits of their spiritual lives are evident: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self control. These champions of God are usually unnoticed: a grandmother praying for her grandchild, the average Joe down the street who helps his neighbor fix his car, a volunteer comforting people in a nursing home. Their faith is simple. They believe that the Bible and the words of Jesus are true, and prove it by following His example. They know He will be faithful to take care of their needs. By their testimony, these people provide the best subjective evidence that God exists.
Many people become believers primarily because they have had an intense personal encounter with God. This may have come through a miraculous healing, an arrangement of circumstances that was beyond explanation, or a sensing of His presence in a personal way. This too is subjective evidence for God's existence, and for most faithful church goers that is all they need. But for the intellectual, that does not seem to be enough. Believing in God needs to make sense in all areas, in science, the arts, mathematics and biology, as well as the subjective and spiritual.
The Erosion of Christian Culture After Darwin
Our country was founded in a climate that respected Christian principles and values. The Bible was held in high regard, and was used often for establishing the laws of the land. At that time, few people questioned the idea that God created the heavens and earth. As Creator and Lord, He inspired reverence and worship. Sweeping revivals took place that transformed entire cities during this time. People like John Wesley, George Whitfield, Charles Finney, and Dwight Moody influenced generations of people for Christ.
When Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859, it provided a climate for many to reject the Bible as truth. The impact upon the church was almost immediate. Some church leaders responded with foolish arguments that brought shame to the church. As a result, philosophers such as Marx and Nietzsche gave birth to atheistic worldviews that were to eventually enslave many parts of the world.
Cracks began to appear in the foundations of church teaching. Theologians scrambled to produce new interpretations of Genesis that explained away this new world-view. My great-great grandfather's Willson's Fifth Reader, published only two years after Darwin's book, had already begun to compromise. But, the Day-Age and Gap theories, as they are often called, provided comfort for many whom still trusted the Bible as God's word. These two ideas carried the church well into the twentieth century, and many still believe them today.
But these interpretations provided only a superficial fix. Some wondered why the church believed in a six-day creation for centuries, only to cave in to a new explanation as soon as unbelievers offered a contradictory view. Others saw that these new interpretations created more problems than they solved. This led to further compromise: higher criticism, theistic evolution and liberalism. As the foundation crumbled, Christian teaching became confused with many varying doctrines and ideas.
Through the cracked foundation of the church seeped many new ideas and opinions. Who was to say whose opinion was right or wrong? How could we determine what was truth? From liberalism, it was just a short step to socialism, agnosticism, atheism, and finally communism. But, today the hollow ache continues the sense that these ideas just do not satisfy. Some take the plunge into neo-paganism, Eastern mysticism, Hinduism, Buddhism, sensing a spiritual need, but unwilling to reconsider the God of the Bible. But now, many are turning back to Biblical Christianity and rejecting Darwinism. Despite years of teaching evolution, the Russian people threw off the yoke of communism to pack the churches.
With the foundation of Genesis undermined, the Christian message loses its meaning. All that is left is a subjective experience, a "leap of faith" that ends up being only one opinion out of many. Who is to say that the Christian message is right, unless there is solid evidence that the Bible is true from the beginning? But the Bible is responsible for any scientific errors, if any are to be found. If it is filled with false teachings, then it no longer bears the impress of a book inspired by God, but bears the marks of human origin. If that were found to be true, then it is not in a special sense God's book, and therefore, the claims it holds upon us are not supreme. That is the great challenge: to identify where the Bible appears to be in conflict with science, then determine whether the error is found in the Bible, our superficial understanding of the Bible, or in science. Since so much is at stake, we must not allow our conclusions to be too hasty.
Reasons To Reconsider the God of the Bible
Millions of people still go to church to seek God. The biggest reason most people do is that they find out that the old-fashioned values and promises in the Bible still work for those who put their trust in God. The ideals and principles laid forth in the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount apply universally. Those who genuinely know Him need little more evidence for His existence beyond their answered prayers. There are promises in the Bible that can be challenged with a test: meet the conditions and see if God will fail to come through with His end of the bargain. Those who stand on these promises in faith are always rewarded according to that faith. But, since these tests are personal in nature, how can we know that we aren't self deceived like skeptics claim we are? Can the Bible stand up to rigorous objective testing?
The Bible makes the grand claim that it is the word of God. Such a book would have to explain universal truth from the beginning to the end. If the Bible could be shown that it is merely the words of men, its importance is reduced to be no different than any other book. Here are some of the tests the Bible passes that other religions and philosophies do not:
x The Bible is historically accurate when compared against non-Biblical accounts.
x The Bible provides an explanation of beginnings.
x It makes a clear definition of right and wrong, and gives an explanation of the origin of sin and death.
x Christianity provides a simple means to obtain forgiveness of sin through faith in Jesus Christ. Other religions know very little of forgiveness, and are systems of rules, laws, and works.
x Jesus Christ accurately fulfilled over 300 different prophecies.
x Jesus Christ was the only person to conquer death by rising from the dead. All others like Mohammed and Buddha went to their graves and stayed there.
x The Bible does not contradict itself when you compare scripture to scripture.
Creation is Scientific, But Evolution is Religious
Many people like me used to believe the theory of evolution, but now reject it based on scientific evidence. It is for religious and philosophical reasons, not scientific reasons that this theory continues to be popular. After 150 years of research, evolutionists still can't explain the origin of life from non-life, vertebrates from invertebrates, fish from amphibians, or mammals and birds from reptiles. There are many examples where the creation explanation is more scientific than evolution.
The theory does not explain the origin of the remarkable enzyme-catalyzed reactions that occur in living cells with 100% efficiency, yielding no by-products. The recursive nature of cellular reactions is a mystery apart from creation by God, with the exact amounts synthesized by the cell regulated by the concentration of the end product.
The MSU museum displayed the aardvark as "the only surviving example of an obscure mammalian genus." Translation: they can't find any animal, living or in the fossil record, that looks like him or could serve as a transitional form. The same is true for the duckbill platypus, the panda, Venus flytrap, and woodpecker. How did the dolphin's nose move to the back of his head, learn to drink sea water, lose his legs and develop flippers and fins and survive the transition? Like making a submarine out of a bus, nothing works until everything works.
Evolutionists say, "Gee, you can believe in evolution and be religious, too." But "professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." The result of mixing evolution with religion is a weak, toothless, watered down set of rules and ethics that is little more than atheism on the installment plan. It is more consistent for a Christian to believe the Biblical explanation as it is written. It has stood the test of time. If Christians try to mix theology with an unscientific theory originally designed to be an attack against Christianity, they invite all kinds of trouble. On the other hand, people become evolutionists, humanists and atheists not because they find the scientific evidence so convincing but because they are unable to resolve theological problems. Darwin could not resolve in his mind why a perfect God could permit so much human suffering. I suppose he thought God should have created a world where man could do whatever he wanted and sin without any consequences.
Although most evolutionists repudiate racism today, it played a major part in its perpetuation in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Racists often use the evolution of man as justification for their beliefs. The subtitle of Darwin's Origin of Species was "the preservation of the superior races in the struggle of life." It was popular back then to believe that the black race was less evolved and closer to the apes. In 1904, evolutionists caged an African pygmy up with the monkeys in a zoo as a demonstration of their theory (see article by Jerry Bergman). It is no wonder then that the proponents of evolution brought us other repressive atrocities like Marxism and Nazism. Advocates of abortion use the long discredited idea of embryonic recapitulation to justify Roe vs. Wade. Some young people, taught that they are nothing but a cosmic accident evolved from the apes, begin to believe that life is meaningless, give up, and commit suicide.
If evolution has so many scientific problems and bears such bad fruit, why is it so universally popular today? One reason is that it explains how life got here without having to deal with a creator God. If God is creator, He owns us and sets the rules. Many people think that God's rules interfere with their own creative plans. But what they don't realize is that God gave them that creative spirit, and desires to amplify it in their lives. Working in harmony with God's plans produces the only fruit that lasts. Everything else is like "striving after the wind."
Evolution produces a religious worldview that glorifies self-achievement. Many early scientists were Christians who desired to "think God's thoughts after Him." These pioneers like George Washington Carver discovered countless uses for God's resources that improved the lives of many people. But today, the evolutionary worldview justifies pursuit of research for the motivation of vainglory. The result is often short sighted inventions that create more problems than they solve. I remember seeing a sign on a chemistry professor's door that read something like this: "If a person tells me he wants to go into research to better humanity, I advise him to rather go into charity. Science needs egotists, true egotists, whose motivation is for the sake of science itself."
The Complex Chemistry of Life
The issue that first sparked my interest in the Creation-Evolution controversy had to do with the origin of life from non-life. A naturalistic explanation of the origin of life must deal with this issue; otherwise the entire theory collapses. The chemistry that makes up life is a complex information system that produces building materials, energy, locomotion and reproduction. The structure resembles a complex computer program that automates the production of chemicals and building blocks needed for life. An explanation of the origin of these complex systems is crucial to the credibility of the theory of evolution. But, attempts at producing a reasonable model for the origin of life fall short of the mark.
The problem is much like throwing paint at a canvas and expecting it to produce a beautiful landscape of Yosemite Valley. The closest they have come to producing life in a test tube from off the shelf chemicals is to make some of the building blocks of life under carefully controlled laboratory conditions where the amino acids were removed from the reaction with a trap as soon as they were formed. But, that is much like forming a few letters by carefully dropping ink on a page in comparison to producing words, sentences, books, encyclopedias, and libraries.
The challenge of the origin of life is so formidable that many who are experts in the field like Dr. Dean Kenyon of San Francisco State University have become creationists. Dr. Kenyon was the author of Biochemical Predestination, and one of the world's foremost authorities on chemical evolution. One of his students challenged him to examine Dr. A. E. Wilder-Smith's book, The Creation of Life: A Cybernetic Approach to Evolution. As a result, much to the consternation of his department head, Dr. Kenyon declared that the evolutionary conclusions of his former work were nonsense. He now embraces the creationist point of view and recently published an excellent textbook titled Of Pandas and People, which is now being used by schools all over the country as an alternative to evolution.
Since Louis Pasteur first discredited the idea of spontaneous generation back in the 1800's, researchers still can't uncover any new evidence to support it. Additional experiments create new problems, and leave the old problems unsolved. Here are some examples of the quandaries that puzzle evolutionists:
The chemical reactions needed to produce amino acids and nucleotides, the building blocks of life, require the absence of oxygen. Yet, there is no evidence in the rocks that the earth ever had an environment without oxygen.
The chemical reagents needed to produce life would have to be present in the early earth, then quickly change to an environment with oxygen to sustain life. There is no geologic evidence for this either.
The chemicals needed to produce amino acids, which are the building block of proteins; conflict with the chemicals needed to produce nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Reactions between the two sets of reagents would destroy all possibility of producing either, yet they would have to quickly come together shortly after they were produced to form life.
Experiments that produce amino acids in a laboratory environment produce equal mixtures of right handed and left handed amino acids. These are three-dimensional configurations that are mirror images of each other that react the same way. Yet life only uses the left-handed variety. An evolutionary explanation must demonstrate a way that only the left handed variety is selected in the production of proteins, or a synthesis that produces only left handed amino acids. Life also only uses right-handed sugars instead of left handed, and cis-configured lipids rather than trans. The fact that certain chemicals are picked specifically for their use in life where others could have reacted just as well or easier, points to a Creator.
The production of chemical components that make up life is an efficient, tightly integrated manufacturing system that must be explained as an entity unto itself. The DNA molecule unravels and produces a molecule called messenger RNA that resembles a computerized tape containing the instructions for producing a protein. Another type of RNA, called transfer RNA, carries an amino acid ready to be added to the protein under production. The manufacturing process takes place in a ribosome which is a combination of RNA material and protein. The ribosome travels along the messenger RNA reading it like a computer tape. A sequence of three nucleotides on the messenger RNA acts as an instruction, telling a transfer RNA molecule that matches it with complementary nucleotides to attach an amino acid to a growing protein chain. The result is a protein built in a three-dimensional configuration ready to be used by the cell. The problem is that the end result of this process, the protein, is needed to catalyze all of the steps of the process. You can't form DNA without the protein DNA polymerase, and you can't make DNA polymerase without DNA. Any explanation of the origin of life would have to account for the simultaneous origin of thousands of protein and DNA manufacturing systems that interrelate with each other.
The components of life, proteins, DNA and RNA, are extremely fragile and spontaneously break down when left to themselves outside the environment of life.
Attempts to produce the DNA molecule by biochemists are frustrated because the phosphate group bonds in the wrong place.
The addition of energy to amino acids (such as an electric charge or ultraviolet light) produces non-biological goo, not proteins. Attempts to produce usable proteins in this manner have met with utter failure.
Mutations have not proven to be the driving force for evolution scientists expected. In almost every case, they are destructive or harmful, rendering useless a part of the manufacturing process to create proteins.
These examples provide overwhelming evidence for the creative power of God. At the very foundation of the theory of evolution is the biochemical makeup of life. If evolution fails there, the entire theory must be called into question. The only alternative is to consider that God is the designer and origin of the complex order found in life.
The Test of Thermodynamics
Two scientific laws provide a test for evolution. The first law of thermodynamics states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, they just change forms. The second law observes that matter and energy continuously and spontaneously proceeds from a state of order to disorder. As scientific laws, there are no known exceptions that have ever been observed. Evolution appears to be in direct violation of the second law of thermodynamics, since it requires change from simple to complex. An evolution model would have to explain a mechanism that converts energy from an outside source into information and complexity.
Evolutionists have been scrambling for an explanation that makes sense. The addition of more energy compounds the problem, since it usually speeds the breakdown of order. This totally contradicts evolution, and the problem gets worse as time passes. Time is an enemy to order, and if the earth were billions of years old as evolutionists claim, we would expect it to be in a total state of disorder. The Biblical point of view provides an explanation that fits perfectly. It talks about a creation designed originally to last forever, but altered and cursed by the introduction of sin. Death and destruction were the result.
One difficulty this presents for evolutionists is that we observe the results of the second law of thermodynamics in the extinction of animals all the time. The problem is that the origin of new species is not observed. This would take the introduction of new information in the forms of new genes. Mutations occur when the cell replaces damaged genes as a result of a repair process and a mistake occurs in the repair, or when genes are swapped into new sequences. These scenarios result in useless proteins and less efficient organisms. There is no mechanism proposed for new, improved genes producing new species.
The Bible talks about a time where the conditions of Eden will be restored to the earth. Creationists speculate that at this time, the second law of thermodynamics will be repealed, and time will be no more. Since the second law is irreversible, it begs for a time when the universe was wound up and created. Evolutionists call it the "big bang;" creationists call it the "big beginning." It also indicates that unless God intervenes, the universe is doomed to total randomness, destruction and death. Creationists hold to His promise that he will do that someday, evolutionists have no such hope.
Fossils and Fault-Finding
Evolutionists often used the sequence that fossils are found in the rock strata as evidence that evolution took place. But this presumes that no Biblical explanation exists for the order of fossils, and that exceptions to this fossil sequence can always be explained in evolutionary terms.
The Bible describes an event in earth history that caused an upheaval of the entire earth's crust. That event was Noah's flood. Creationists are quick to point out that fossils wouldn't exist unless they were buried quickly in an environment where mineral replacement of the bone material could take place. Otherwise, complete skeletons of fish revealing their soft parts would not be possible.
What would you expect to find if the Biblical account of Noah's flood is true? The bottom layers (labeled Precambrian by evolutionists) would represent the base rock from the period before the flood that was undisturbed. Very few fossils would be found there. But, the next layers (Cambrian) would contain sea bottom dwelling creatures, such as shellfish and trilobites, since they would be buried first. Next to be buried would be fish, followed by amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. Last of all, man would be found in the top layers. The sequence of fossils represents an order of burial and hydrodynamic sorting into layers, not a succession of ages.
This scenario explains why a complex creature such as the six-foot long lobster-like creature called the Anomalocaris was found in the Cambrian layer. It also explains the numerous cases where fossils and strata are found out of sequence. These exceptions to the geologic column are called overthrusts by evolutionists.
An overthrust is a geologic event where tremendous earth forces causes a block of rock strata to uplift, shear, and shift over the top of other strata. Such an upheaval would leave an ample trail of evidence: ground up and broken rock, scraping marks, and re-cemented rock. Furthermore, it would likely be accompanied by volcanic activity resulting in lava flows.
Many such areas where the fossils and the strata that contain them are out of sequence do not exhibit such evidence. They appear just as if they were laid down by water in that sequence, with no physical signs of movement. The following are examples that creationists have investigated.

The Lewis Overthrust is an entire region of the Rocky Mountains that contains out of order strata. It extends from Glacier National Park in Montana into Canada. It is a 12,000 square mile section of Precambrian rock strata that rests upon rocks identified as Cretaceous. The rocks look as if they were laid down by water: no signs of a massive uplift and shift in the earth's crust can be found. The contact line between the layers of rock is sharp, with no interbedding, rock gouge or scraping marks.

JURASSIC JURASSIC
PERMIAN EOCENE
GRAND CANYON:

MISSISSIPPIAN MISSISSIPPIAN
DEVONIAN CAMBRIAN
SILURIAN MISSISSIPPIAN
ORDOVICIAN CAMBRIAN
The Empire mountains near Tucson, Arizona presents a similar problem, except the contact line between the rocks are meshed together like a gear. This is a strange appearance if the top layer was thrust over the bottom layer. Other examples show more than two layers out of sequence, such as at Glarus in the Alps, or inter-tongued strata found at an unconformity in the Grand Canyon.
It is much more reasonable that something is greatly wrong with the traditional dating methods of evolutionary geology than it is to suppose that these sequences were thrust into these strange positions. It should also be noted that claims of an old earth based upon radiometric methods are themselves based upon assumptions that the earth is old. Because we do not have the capability to go back in time and verify the original state of the rock, we have no basis to determine the age of a rock based upon radiometric decay. Furthermore, these same methods were used on volcanic rocks from eruptions where the dates were known to be recent, and the results were in the thousands and millions of years, not hundreds.
A creationist has the advantage that God could have created the earth at any time. He could have done it in six days, millions of years, or instantaneously. But the evolutionist needs millions of years of gradual change. If it can be shown that the earth is much younger, it gives us all the more reason to believe the Biblical account of Genesis.
Nothing Works until Everything Works
One of the greatest demonstrations of God's existence is the tremendous evidence of design in nature. If we found that an arm or a leg or a gill or an eye or a heart could exist on its own, we would have more reason to believe that life as we know it could have evolved by chance. But every creature is a living system with millions of integrated parts that cannot exist by themselves. Even the single celled ameba is made up of highly complex molecules and organelles that work together in a tightly interrelated system. Take away any part of this system and the cell dies. A crude comparison would be to a gasoline engine, made up of pistons, a crankcase, valves, and a spark plug. Take away any of these parts, and the engine does not run.
That is why we say, "nothing works until everything works." The systems that make up life appear fully formed and functional, otherwise the organism would not work at all. Transitions between types of organisms, such as between reptiles and birds, would not function at all well in either world, and would die before they had the chance to reproduce.
It is interesting to watch the evolutionist's struggle with the problem of animals that do not fit their theory. The origin of flight is one of the best examples. Flight would have had to originate four different times: in birds, insects, bats, and flying reptiles. I suppose you could even count flying fish if you wanted to. How many attempts did a non-flying creature make in trying to fly before it was able to solo for the very first time? Can you imagine packing all of the flight technology of a Boeing 747 into the size of a gnat? Just because a creature is small doesn't mean that it is less complex. In fact, the smaller the package, the more amazing the miracle becomes.
The anableps is a fish that lives on the surface of the water. His eyes are split into two parts, uniquely designed to watch for predators in the air, as well as watch for food below. One might wonder how many different gradual stages of nearsightedness this poor creature could have gone through in its evolutionary history before it eventually received its unique set of bifocals.
Amazon Stingrays lurk on the bottom of the river like spotted pancakes. Natives in the Amazon would rather swim with a school of piranha than risk the whip-like tail of these creatures. The problem for the stingray is how did the gills move from the bottom by the mouth to the top in back of the eyeballs? It is ridiculous to believe that such a transformation could have taken place by chance. Transitional forms could not have been functional at all.
William Paley gave an argument a century ago that still has never been answered. He pointed to a watch, and said that the existence of the watch demanded a watchmaker. The watch did not assemble itself from metal parts that materialized out of the rock. Likewise, life in all of its obvious design and functionality demands a creator. That Creator is the God of the Bible.
The God of the Bible is a Personal God You Can Trust
Who is this Creator God, who claims to have made all things? The Bible says that He is a God of love. Blaise Pascal, the famous mathematician, said that he had nothing to lose and everything to gain from trusting Jesus Christ. Many people ask, "If God exists, is He personally interested in all of his creation, and would he care about me?" The answer is a resounding yes! Millions of Christians prove his existence by their faith, watching Him intervene in their lives. The trouble is that we have become used to miracles that constantly and consistently occur around us, which is the direct hand of God. We simply do not recognize them as such.
Perhaps an angel's hand moved your car when you had a close call on the freeway yesterday. Maybe the train that held you up for five minutes delayed you from a fatal collision. We take God for granted when things go right, and we forget to thank Him.
We draw our next breath only by the grace of God. That simple automatic act is controlled by thousands of complex interrelated processes designed by the creator. Just think what might happen if one of your fingers forgot to stop growing, and grew to be six feet long! That's why he designed each one of us with marvelous control mechanisms that regulate the production of materials to just the right amount at the right time, so we come out symmetrical, functional, and in working order.
Then why does God allow so much suffering in this world? It is because sin keeps us from receiving all of the benefits that He wants to give us. The world is under a curse because man has chosen not to trust God. Man wants to determine his own destiny, and is fooled into thinking that his own designs are better than God's purposes. Man suffers as a result of his own schemes and plans.
Do you want to know your highest destiny? Then discover and flow with God's purpose for your life. It is the grandest scientific experiment of all time: to prove God by standing on his promises and discovering his world. It is a bold experiment, with radical ideas like going the extra mile, loving your enemies, and trusting God for all needs. Does God exist? The world says to God, "Make yourself known to me and I'll trust you."
God says, "Trust me, and I'll make myself known to you."

Atletico Nacional are 2018 Florida Cup Champions
St. Petersburg, Fla. – Jan. 20, 2018 – Before a rousing crowd heavily favoring Los Verdolagas, Colombia's Atletico Nacional of Medellin defeated Poland's Legia Warsaw 2-0 this evening at Al Lang Stadium. With the victory, Nacional secured the 2018 Florida Cup title in their first time participating in the annual international tournament.
In what could be called a brief glimpse of Group H play during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the action between the Colombian and Polish clubs started evenly, with chances created by both sides early in the first half. Nacional Midfielder Aldo Ramirez opened the scoring in the 36th minute, taking a perfect pass from Macnelly Torres and slotting the ball into the net in the bottom right corner. Ramirez completed his brace with a brilliant goal off a Gustavo Torres feed in the 42nd minute, as the Colombians took a 2-0 advantage into the half.
Atletico Nacional maintained the pressure on Legia in the second half, nearly adding to their lead with several close chances. At the final whistle, Ramirez's brace was enough to secure the victory and Nacional's first Florida Cup title.
In the post-game ceremonies, Nacional goalkeeper Cristian Vargas was awarded the Florida Cup Golden Glove, and Aldo Ramirez was named Man of the Match. Marcos Barros, VP of Marketing and Sales for Universal Orlando – Latin America, presented the Florida Cup to Nacional captain Alexis Henriquez.

Q: Python output print problem for palindrome permutation I want to see if a given string is a permutation of a palindrome or not. Here is the python solution. I am trying to test it for the following input example but I am getting error.
import re
class Solution(object):
    def isPalindrome(self, s):

        regex = re.compile('[^a-zA-Z0-9]')
        s=regex.sub('', lower(s))
        print(s)
        j=len(s)-1
        for i in range(0,len(s)/2):
            if s[i]==s[j]:
                j-=1
            else:
                return False

        return True

    # The word is civic , which is a palindrome. So it should return true.
    s = "vicic"

print(isPalindrome(s))

I get this error : "NameError: name 'self' is not defined". How can I fix it and print the output?

A: isPalindrome() as you have defined it here is associated with the object/class Solution.
Unlike a regular Python function your method is called on your solution object.
If you want to call it given your current structure you must first instantiate an instance of solution, create the string you want to test, and then call the method on the object:
sol = Solution() # instance of Solution
s = "vicic"
sol.isPalindrome(s) # False

Also note that I took your string s out from where you had previously declared it as it was in the wrong scope.
In general it seems like your solution class may be a bit of overkill, part of the beauty of Python is its ability to write simple scripts, so you could rewrite isPalindrome() as a plain function and not a method.

Arthur Granville Sharp earned the 1914 Star. This means that he entered a theatre of war before 22 November 1914. Sharp was born on 27 October 1897. He joined Thring's Horse on 24 October 1914, which means that he was just three days short of his seventeenth birthday.
Boer Rebellion after General Maritz allied himself with the Germans and declared that "the former South African Republic and Orange Free State as well as the Cape Province and Natal are proclaimed free from British control and independent". The war, Maritz claimed, was South Africa's chance to free itself from British control and become independent.
Although born in the Orange Free State, Sharp was one of the many who did not agree with Maritz. By the end of the year the rebellion had been suppressed. At which point Sharp transferred to the 1st Mounted Brigade (Sharpshooters) and took part in the German-South-West African Campaign. By December 1915 he had taken a commission in the Royal Field Artillery and spent the rest of the war in France, Flanders and Italy.
Sharp was serving with D Battery, 72 Army Brigade attached to the Guards Division Artillery when he was killed in action on 23 August 1918, the same action for which he was awarded his Military Cross. On the day he was working as a forward observation officer near Hamelincourt, sending back accurate and valuable information to the guns despite the fact that he was under constant and relentless fire.
His mother chose his inscription. These have to have been Arthur Sharp's own words, this must have been his philosophy. Interestingly it's not the same thing as 'Thy will be done', or 'Whatever is is best' but 'Whatever happens it will have been worthwhile'. Sharp served throughout the war until his death in August 1918 but was still only 20 when he died.

Michelle Singletary investigates a mortgage company flagrantly breaking the law and making false promises.
The Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson has put out the government's plan for changing the nation's financial regulatory structure.
Paulson wants to give more regulation of the people who arrange loans — the mortgage brokers.
He wants to protect consumers from phony promises, hidden fees and what is called "predatory lending."
Paulson offers the creation of a federal Mortgage Origination Commission that would establish minimum standards for loan officers. It would also evaluate, rate and report on each state's efforts to license and regulate these mortgage salespeople.
This case highlights how state- and nationally regulated financial institutions can fail to verify that borrowers are working with licensed loan officers.
Lee has been banned from arranging loans in Maryland and Georgia because neither he nor his companies were licensed for such activity. And yet, in violation of those orders, people working for Lee have continued to arrange mortgage loans that for many borrowers are inappropriate, according to sources and company documents. Several Maryland homeowners acknowledged that they gave personal information to people working for CashFlow in order to get their loan applications processed. Candice Thompson, whose business card says she's a CashFlow marketing representative, assured one Maryland loan applicant that she was licensed and that the company was free of any legal troubles.
Thompson is not licensed as a loan officer in Maryland, according to state officials. The company is under investigation.
Lee denies that Financial Independence ever arranged mortgage loans. Last year, Wachovia, the fourth-largest U.S. bank, funded 196 loans totaling about $54.2 million that Lee brought to the financial institution, according to an e-mail sent to Lee by Scott Davenport, a former national account executive with Wachovia.
Soon after I inquired about Wachovia's business transactions with Lee, Davenport was fired. Wachovia spokesman Don Vecchiarello said in a statement: "In its wholesale channel, Wachovia deals directly with numerous mortgage broker companies. Key Financial Corp., based in Clearwater, Fla., was listed as the customer contact on a Maryland loan application taken by Thompson of CashFlow and processed by Wachovia. The mortgage sales process is broken.

LOS ANGELES - Violet Kazue de Cristoforo, a California poet and scholar who wrote, collected, and translated haiku that compressed into a few lines the heartaches and realities of the detention camps where thousands of Japanese-Americans were incarcerated during World War II, died Oct. 3 at her home in Salinas, Calif. She was 90.
Mrs. de Cristoforo died two weeks after returning from Washington, D.C., where she was honored by the National Endowment for the Arts with a National Heritage Fellowship Award for achievement in traditional and folk arts. The cause was complications from a stroke, said her daughter, Kimi.
A native of Hawaii who grew up in Fresno, Calif., Mrs. de Cristoforo was one of 110,000 Japanese-Americans sent to 10 camps in seven states after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Mrs. de Cristoforo, who ran a Japanese-language bookstore in Fresno with her husband, had two young children and was expecting a third at the time. She was still weak from an operation to remove a tumor when Executive Order 9066 was imposed Feb. 19, 1942, authorizing the military to remove any citizen from a broad swath of the West Coast who might be a threat to national security, mostly those of Japanese descent.
By April 1942, she and her family were living in a tar-paper shack at the Fresno Assembly Center, formerly a horse track. She gave birth to her third child over an orange crate and two weeks later was on a dilapidated train with a sickly baby to a camp in Jerome, Ark.
At Jerome, her husband, Shigeru Matsuda, and his parents decided that, because they had lost everything of value they had owned in Fresno, they would return to Japan, where they still held some property.
When it came time to fill out a loyalty questionnaire, Mrs. de Cristoforo followed her husband's advice: "My husband had told me, 'Don't answer this. . . . Don't trust the government, don't trust anybody, just say you're seeking repatriation with my family.' And that is the only thing that I wrote. I did not answer yes or no to the questionnaire," she said in "And Justice For All," a 1999 oral history of Japanese-American internees by John Tateishi.
From Jerome they were sent to the Tule Lake Relocation Center, a high-security camp built on old lava beds in Northern California, where Japanese internees who had refused to sign the loyalty oath were imprisoned.
Her husband and her brother were arrested after joining a committee to investigate food shortages at the camp. Her brother was thrown into the stockade, while her husband was sent to a camp in Santa Fe. Mrs. de Cristoforo remained at Tule Lake for the duration of the war with her three small children, a sick mother-in-law, and a father-in-law who went mad with grief after his wife's death from cancer.
Mrs. de Cristoforo, who had belonged to a haiku club in Fresno, wrote poems on whatever scraps of paper she could find.
"Throughout, haiku helped hold me together," she told The Salinas Californian in 1993. "It was an escape, and it let me express my feelings."
Mrs. de Cristoforo left Tule Lake with her children in 1946. Her husband had been repatriated to Japan first, and when she arrived in March of that year, she learned that he had remarried.
Seeking reunion with her mother, she took a train to Hiroshima but found only the devastation from the atomic bomb dropped eight months earlier. When she finally found her mother, after walking two days through the mountains, the older woman "looked like a monster" with severe burns and barely any hair.
Mrs. de Cristoforo returned to the United States in 1956 after marrying Wilfred H. de Cristoforo, a US Army officer stationed in Japan after the war. They moved to Monterey, Calif., where he attended the Army Language School and she went to work for the McGraw-Hill educational publishing company.
He "is the one who really encouraged my mother to publish her work," her daughter Kimi said in an interview Monday.
According to her daughter, Mrs. de Cristoforo spoke little of her wartime experiences except in her poems. Her books include "Poetic Reflections of the Tule Lake Internment Camp, 1944" (1987) and "May Sky: There Is Always Tomorrow" (1997), an anthology of free-form haiku, called kaiko, written in the camps.
She was to read one of her poems at the ceremony in Washington. "She was so excited about it," her daughter said. "This trip to Washington, D.C., was the culmination for her."
Already in poor health, Mrs. de Cristoforo was unable to recite the poem she had chosen for the occasion. It was read instead by Norman Mineta, the former congressman who as a boy was incarcerated at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming.
A notation suggests the poem was written when prisoners in the Tule Lake stockade were on a hunger strike. Mrs. de Cristoforo's brother, who had been falsely accused of taking part in a food riot, was locked up for 10 months.
The cruelest injustice came afterward, when Mrs. de Cristoforo struggled to make a living for herself and her children in Japan.
She found a place to live outside Hiroshima and worked as an interpreter, but the economy was in ruins and Japanese-Americans were often not warmly received. When Mrs. de Cristoforo's oldest child, Ken, was 12, she begged friends in the United States to find him a home.
Two years later, she sent her second child, Reiko, too.
Bounced from one place to another, the children felt abandoned, and Mrs. de Cristoforo, as a noncitizen, was powerless to help.
Mrs. de Cristoforo spoke frankly in her oral history of their rejection of her, but also tried to accentuate the positive, how she kept track of their lives, how well they turned out without her.
"I've learned to realize there are so many things in life beyond your control," she told The Salinas Californian some years ago. "Rather than being bitter or angry over it, I began to think it was a mission in my life. . . . God gave me the gift to go and come back."

back to 18th before allowing the surging Yellow Jackets
Jos Buttler smashed 41 off 22 balls to truly announce his arrival at the IPL, helping see Mumbai Indians to a six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders, chasing 188. NFL Jerseys For Sale . Buttler - who hit a two-ball duck in a debut defeat for Mumbai on Saturday - struck three fours and three sixes in his knock, sharing in a 66-run partnership with Rohit Sharma, the skipper supremely impressive himself with an unbeaten 84 from 54 balls.His opposite number, Kolkata captain Gautam Gambhir, earlier cracked 62 from 52 deliveries - although was dropped twice - while putting on a hundred partnership with Manish Pandey (52 off 29 balls), who also notched fifty.A trademark big-hitting cameo from Andre Russell (36 off 17) featuring four sixes, helped fire the Knight Riders up to a score of 187-5, put it proved not to be enough as Buttler helped blast Mumbai to victory. Inside the IPL: Jos Buttler announced himself to the IPL with 41 from 22 balls. Put into bat first, for once Kolkatas experienced opening pair of Gambhir and Robin Uthappa didnt fire, with the latter dismissed for eight by the impressive Mitchell McClenaghan (2-25) in the fourth over.A fairly sedate start by the Knight Riders - at 45-1 in the seventh over - suddenly then sparked into life as Pandey hit Hardik Pandya for the first six of the innings over long-on.Two more maximums followed from Pandeys bat, while Gambhir struck one, although he was fortunate to be at the crease, having been dropped on 30 by Sharma at midwicket off Jagadeesha Suchith, and then again on 55 by Jasprit Bumrah, a simple chance off his own bowling.The Kolkata skipper made Mumbai pay, with his fifty coming off 39 deliveries, and his partner Pandeys even quicker at 26 balls - though he fell soon after, caught and bowled by Harbhajan Singh (1-31).In came Russell, who smashed three sixes in his first eight balls, including two in the same Tim Southee over.He managed one more maximum before dragging McClenaghan onto his stumps in the 18th over, Mumbai fighting back well at the end of the innings - Gambhir finally dismissed, caught by wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel, and Colin Munro run out for four.Sharma signalled Mumbais intent third ball by smashing Russell for six over deep square leg, as he and Patel (23 off 20) went about putting fifty on for the first wicket inside the first five overs, before the latter was run out by Brad Hogg in the sixth.After Pandya wasted 10 balls for just nine runs at three, McClenaghan (20) was sent in up the order as a pinch-hitter, ahead of Buttler and Kieron Pollard.The move paid off as the New Zealander slogged three sixes in his eight-ball knock, punishing Piyush Chawla for back-to-back sixes in the 11th over, before falling to Kuldeep Yadav soon after.Sharma serenely went through to fifty off 38 balls while Buttler got going at the other end - hitting three sixes and two fours off five consecutive deliveries across the 15th and 16th overs to swing the game in Mumbais favour.Buttler couldnt see it through to the finish, falling in the penultimate over, but Sharma smacked Russells next three balls for boundaries, and Pollard nudged the single needed from the final over to win it for Mumbai.Watch continued coverage of the IPL on Sky Sports, with the next live action seeing the two new franchises, Gujarat Lions and Rising Pune Supergiants face off from 3pm on Sky Sports 2 on Thursday. Wholesale Soccer Jerseys .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. China Jerseys Cheap . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. http://www.wholesalejerseyschinasale.com/ . Sulaiman, 44, was chosen unanimously Tuesday in a vote by the leadership, the World Boxing Council said. Sulaiman becomes the sixth president of the organization. Virginia Tech failed in its first bid to lock up the ACCs Coast Division title, and now will have to wait two weeks for a chance to try again.Right now, the Hokies focus is on preparing to play at Notre Dame on Saturday.Weve got to turn the page, just like we talked about when we win ballgames, draw the focus inward and try and get this football team better, Hokies coach Justin Fuente said Monday. It kind of highlights the slim margin between victory and defeat when you look at the league and the teams that are playing each other.The Hokies (7-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) helped with one of their worst performances of the season in a 30-20 loss to the Yellow Jackets . Jerod Evans threw for one touchdown and ran for two more, but the last two came in the final five minutes with Virginia Tech trying to erase a 30-7 deficit. Evans also threw two interceptions, doubling his total for the season, as the Hokies had four turnovers.We made obviously too many mistakes and they made plenty enough plays to beat us, Fuente said.Virginia Tech could have clinched the Coastal Division with a victory on Saturday, but the Hokies and North Carolina both face non-conference game this weekend -- the Tar Heels play The Citadel. North Carolina finishes the season against rival North Carolina State in two weeks, and Virginia Tech wraps up versus Virginia. The Hokies hold the tie-breaker should the teams finish tied thanks to a 34-3 win at Chapel Hill earlier this season.Notre Dame (4-6) that needs to win its last two games to become bowl-eligible.Fullback Sam Rogers believes a week of focus will get the Hokies back on track.We just have to do better at all positions, he said. Theres no one person or anything like that. We just all have to look ourselves in the mirror and see what we got to do better and do that. And just really ttake a self-check and realize what weve got to do moving forward and well do better. Cheap NFL Jerseys. Im very confident in that.Wide receiver Isaiah Ford agrees, adding the Hokies got outplayed by Georgia Tech.I think its just us, said Ford, the Hokies leader with 58 catches and career leader with 24 touchdown receptions. We like to say that everything falls back on us. How we play will determine the outcome.The loss was the second head-scratcher for Virginia Tech this season, and each has knocked them out of the Top 25 . They rose to as high as 17th before a 31-17 loss at Syracuse in mid-October, and had climbed back to 18th before allowing the surging Yellow Jackets to strafe their defense for 309 rushing yards at Lane Stadium.And the Yellow Jackets did it without injured starting quarterback Justin Thomas and suspended top rusher Dedrick Mills. Marcus Marshall ran for 143 yards and a score, and QB Matthew Jordan ran for 121 yards and two TDs.The Notre Dame game seems to come at odd time in Virginia Techs schedule.However the pause in the battle for the Coastal Division title gives the Hokies an opportunity to get things straight before the critical finale.It falls at a time when we can really just focus on getting better right now, Rogers said. We know we didnt play well last week and we didnt deserve to win the Coastal championship last week, but we still have an opportunity so right now we just have to focus on getting better. It falls at a perfect time. This week the main focus is just, lets just get better at what we do so we can have those opportunities later in the year.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

An Alternate History of Major League Hockey in North America

Favourite Logos:Boston Bruins, New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox
I've created an alternate history of what would become today's equivalent to the NHL. It all starts with two independent leagues, the Continental Hockey Association(CHA) and the Pacific Hockey League(PHL)
The CHA, founded in Quebec City in 1917 began with 6 teams across New England and Eastern Canada. The PHL, founded in Vancouver in 1920 began with 6 teams across British Columbia, Washington and Oregon.
This thread will give a timeline of the expansion and eventual merging of these two leagues with logos that I have created for the teams. Please feel free to give feedback and criticism.
First I will give you a chart that shows the teams in the CHA and PHL and the map above.
Quebec City Harfangs
Moncton Maroons
Halifax Citadels
Bangor Blue Stockings
Portland Lobsters
Boston Colonials
Vancouver Killer Whales
Victoria Thunderbirds
Kelowna Kermodes
Seattle Cascades
Portland Pioneers
I will start the Timeline in the next post and start incorporating logos. In the meantime feel free to give feedback and suggestions.

Do it! Love the names - Thunderbirds is a little "too" modern for 1920 in my opinion, but the rest of the names are perfect.
Thanks for the feedback. Maybe you're right, I chose that name because of the Native American legend in that area. If I were to change the name, what would you suggest?
sportsherald 21

You educated me about the "spirit bear" of British Columbia (which I have heard of before) also being called the Kermode (which I hadn't heard before). This ties in with the meaning of Kelowna being "grizzly bear" in native Okanagan. I know this is fantasy, but although Kelowna is a good size now (about 185,000 people), it only had about 2500 in 1920. Similarly, I wonder how many Kelownians of 1920 would call that bear a Kermode (namesake Francis Kermode was the director of the Royal BC Museum), and to be a real pain about it, Kelowna is probably too far inland to find Kermodes. Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta did compete in leagues with Vancouver and Victoria...
On the other hand, I don't think "Thunderbird" is too modern for the 1920s. The native stories about it are very old, and would have been known in 1920. Victoria's Thunderbird Park opened in 1941, and the UBC varsity teams (in Vancouver) first used the name in 1934.
Orca was not that commonly used back then- they would mainly have been called killer whales.
Regardless, it's your fantasy, and I look forward to seeing your work.
The Early Years: 1917-1930
October 10, 1917: The first season of the CHA begins. Each team plays 16 games. The Boston Colonials finish with the best record, 14-1-1 and go on to win the first Kean Cup, named for founder Alfred Kean. The Colonials defeated the Moncton Maroons 3 games to none in a best of 5 series. The first season has an average attendance of 4,365 per game.
October 12, 1920: The first season of the PHL begins. Each team plays 24 games. The Victoria Thunderbirds finish with the best record, 19-3-2 and go on to lose 9-1 to the lowest seed in the playoffs, the Portland Pioneers in the Steller Cup championship game. The Steller cup is named for founder Frederic Steller as well as the Steller's Jay, a symbol of British Columbia. The first season has an average attendance of 2,990 per game.
1923: The Kelowna Kermodes of the PHL relocate to Calgary and become the Mavericks after 3 years of having attendance around 500 per game and having the worst record in the league.
1925: The CHA undergoes it's first league changes. The Bangor Blue Stockings relocate to Rochester, New York due to low attendance; The Moncton Maroons Relocate to Montreal and become the Monarchs because the league believes there will be more success in Montreal; 2 expansion teams are added: the Toronto Giants and the New York Metropolitans.
1926: The Spokane Chiefs of the PHL relocate to Edmonton and become the North Stars after being sold to Carl Morris.
October 9, 1927: The 10th CHA season begins. Each team plays 24 games.
Average attendance in the CHA reaches 7,500 per game
October 1, 1930: Francis Hillen purchases the Victoria Thunderbirds right before the 10th PHL season and brings them to his hometown of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. However, the team is unable to find an arena agreement and Hillen instead decides to move them north to Saskatoon and they become the Bucks.
Stay tuned for the next post, where I will update the map and show the logos for the two leagues and maybe some teams.
Please feel free to give feedback and suggestions.
Will New York have a team soon?

idk how many fans a Bangor team could attract....ik it's fictional but in real life
They do. Look at the timeline.
The NFL started off with teams in Canton and Dayton and Akron. The NBA once had teams in Sheboygan and Fort Wayne. Those would never actually be able to support modern day teams. All great leagues start with small cities. If you read the timeline, Bangor relocated to Rochester, a much bigger market. Eventually, I will have a league full of big market teams.
ScreamingViking 20
Like the idea of creating an alt-NHL similar to the history of the NFL. Saskatoon's a little small circa 1930, about 40000, but I see where you're going with the evolution of the league.
Love the Mavericks name for Calgary, considering the independent conservative tone of the city for much of the past 100 years.
I agree with a previous poster that Orcas is probably an anachronistic name for a team established in 1920.
Glad you went with a non-oil name for the Alberta teams, considering they are founded prior to the Leduc strike of 1947. Though eventually an Edm North Stars logo could incorporate an oil derrick spraying up to a star in the sky.
Great start, can't wait to see the graphics!
Thanks for the feedback. I decided to change the Orcas to the Killer Whales, maybe it will change later on. I also like your idea for the North Stars. Thanks.
Below is the new layout of the two leagues after expansion and relocation as of 1930, along with each league's early logo.
Stay tuned for more Timeline and some team's primary logos coming soon.
Please feel free to leave feedback and suggestions.

First Nations to sign agreement to protect the vulnerable in their communities
Commitment is a first-of-its-kind arrangement
by Cathryn Atkinson
Six First Nations communities in the Sea to Sky region have been invited to sign a commitment agreement to ensure the safety of elders, women and children.
The "Building Bridges: Safety and Security Agreement" has been development by the Howe Sound Women's Centre (HSWC) at the end of a four-year study into violence and healthy relationships funded by Vancouver Coastal Health and administrated by the Southern Stl'Atl'imx Health Society.
Now that the program's funding has ended the Squamish, Lil'wat, N'Quatqua, Samahquam, Douglas and Skatin Nations have been invited to keep the momentum going by formally signing the agreement at a ceremony at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre on May 21, said Sheila Allen, HSWC executive director.
The program ran from April 2009 to spring 2013.
"We received funding to hire a coordinator who got a group of volunteers, one from each of the six nations," Allen recalled.
Over the years, the projects included developing advisory committees to discuss abuse of elders, women and children, workshops on elder care, girl power training, Sisters in Spirit vigils to remember missing and murdered First Nations women, support groups and volunteer training.
"We also ran some Healthy Relationship workshops as well, and a lot of people expressed that they felt really good about the opportunity to be able to talk," Allen said. "They wanted to have this public acknowledgement, opening up and talking amongst all of the nations about the issues so they could start the healing process.
"Being able to facilitate that, that's why the women's centre is here, to help women and children in need. Bringing hope, so we can start resolving this, is really rewarding."
Resource guides on the prevention of elder abuse and on women's safety were developed out of the programming, and this information will form the basis of any future work.
The agreement signing, Allen said, would take the commitment in the communities further and encourage collaboration between them.
"We wanted to be able to talk to all of the chiefs and councils, and bring their focus and attention to what was happening in their particular communities and how important this issue was, and gain a mutual commitment to seeing an end to it," Allen said.
"We thought bringing everyone together would help in terms of creating synergies."
Three chiefs so far are confirmed as attending. Three chief and councils had received a presentation on the project; Allen said, "They were very receptive."
She added that as far as she knew no similar agreement exists elsewhere.
"We were thinking of leaving a legacy and how we can continue the momentum," Allen said. "We no longer have the funding to continue offering that ongoing service in each nation, but certainly we built these resource guides, we felt that the knowledge-based information, we got the momentum going... Now is the time to make positive change and so far it has been very well received."
With the program coming to an end, this is one way to extend it.
"Hopefully, people will come up with ideas as to where funding for future needs will come from, so they can identify what some of the needs in their community are, what are possible funding sources and what are ways to address some of these needs," Allen said.

The 13th sambaXP took place from May 13. to 16. in Göttingen. SerNet as the main organizer of the event welcomed 90 participants from all around the world at Hotel Freizeit In. Slides and audio recordings covering nearly all talks are available at sambaXP.org as of now.
The sambaXP traditionally lasts four days and is composed of tutorial, two conference days and a final BarCamp. The presentations ranged from "How I learned to love Sharing Violation" (Richard Sharpe / Panzura), "μSAMBA - Scaling SAMBA Down to Micro Server" (Kai Blin / MPG) and "Experiences of Applying SAMBA Enterprise NAS Products" (Ingo Meents / IBM) to "OpenStack and SAMBA" (Simo Sorce / Red Hat). In his keynote Sven Oehme (IBM) discussed "SAMBA from the perspective of IBM" and depicted the relationship between the General Parallel File System (GPFS) and SAMBA.
The participants of the sambaXP included mainly members of the international core team, luminaries of the SAMBA development, and employees of large companies. Accordingly, lectures and discussions about SAMBA were on a high level. "Thus, also this SambaXP was a great success," said Dr. Chen-Yu Lin, who at SerNet is responsible for organizing the event. SerNet CEO Dr. John Loxen adds: "We also make the lectures available in retrospect to provide permanent access to valuable information." Development and the use of SAMBA are located worldwide, but not everyone could arrive to Germany - so it's the conference records job to spread the free thought behind SAMBA further.
SerNet is joined by Ralph Böhme from NetAFP to further strengthen the SAMBA team. Böhme is the main developer of Netatalk, a free AFP implementation for Linux servers. The step comes as a response to current changes in the protocol landscape: The release of MacOS X 10.9 ("Maverick") made SMB the preferred network protocol for exchanging data. Apple placed its own protocol AFP in the second row.
"Many users and manufacturers use Netatalk as Linux servers for Apple clients. Over the next two years, they need to migrate to SMB," says Ralph Böhme. "The merger with the global SAMBA support at SerNet means to keep the open source expertise from Netatalk alive and infuse it in the best free SMB Stack out there."
The coming weeks will see a variety of properties from Netatalk being ported to SAMBA in order to yet improve the support of Apple clients. These features include the consistent access to data with Netatalk via SAMBA and run-time interoperability through integrated file-locking. The Apple-compatible support for commonly used special characters in file names will be available soon. In addition, the Spotlight indexing and search with SAMBA for Apple clients will be possible in the future.
The SerNet GmbH is the global technological market leader in services around the open source software SAMBA. SerNet is the only systems integrator worldwide who has members of the SAMBA core team under contract.
