Democrats today will formally adopt a platform that attempts to bridge the camps of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders without serving as an albatross around the nominee's neck. "Most people are cynical and believe that what's in a platform doesn't matter," said Larry Sabato, director of UVA's Center for Politics. "That's truly wrong. The best studies of platforms over the years indicate that two-thirds or three-fourths of pledges are either adopted in whole or part, or the elected official makes serious attempts to get them adopted in whole or part."more >
In between the two conventions (hence the clever, if undecipherable, title) the only poll that was in the field during whole of last week was the LA Times/USC poll which, among likely voters, showed Donald Trump with a three-point lead over Hillary Clinton 45 percent to 42 percent. With the average convention bounce, according to UVA's Larry Sabato, being 5.9 percent for Republicans, we can expect Trump to score about +2 post-convention.more >
A former Virginia governor with foreign policy experience, Kaine has deep ties to President Barack Obama, who hand-picked him to run for the Senate, and is highly popular in his home state. "You can see he's from Virginia, which has been a key swing state in the last two presidential elections, and the outcome in Virginia most closely matched the national outcome," says Geoffrey Skelley, a political analyst at UVA's Center for Politics.more >
"There are still some Sanders voters who need to be brought on board, and I think the goal of the convention is for it to be this kumbaya moment for the Democrats and to show they are a party that's unified versus the Republicans as a party that's not," said Kyle Kondik, an expert at UVA's Center for Politics.more >
(By Boris Heersink, a Ph.D. candidate, and Sidney M. Milkis, White Burkett Miller Professor, both in UVA's politics department) The Republican National Convention this week has received mostly negative reviews from reporters and pundits.more >
Chaos reigned Sunday ahead of the Democratic National Convention, as the party's head was forced to quit, thousands of protesters took to the streets and delegates threatened a walk-out over Hillary Clinton's vice-presidential pick. UVA political scientist Larry Sabato said that "unless the Clinton campaign has an agreement with the Sanders bunch to let her leave gracefully, it could be a mistake" to let Wasserman Schultz take the podium.more >
Virginia is critical for both Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Without Virginia, most political analysts say it would be impossible for Trump to win enough Electoral College votes to win the White House. UVA political scientist Larry Sabato said he was changing his rating for Virginia from leaning Democratic to likely to vote Democratic in November.more >
All eyes will be on Clinton to see if she can create momentum. "Ideally, she would be able to improve her high unfavorable ratings," said Larry Sabato, a UVA political science professor. "That's tough, but maybe they have some tricks up the sleeve."more >
We're way past trying to figure out which candidate is most likable. Now we're just figuring out which candidate makes us want to tap our brakes if we saw them in a crosswalk.

Once they get a taste, little kids may obsess about any given thing, such as Thomas the Tank Engine, dinosaurs or princesses. "In some cases, [an intense interest] is just enjoyable.

Heading into the convention, Trump's favorability numbers made him the most unpopular presumptive presidential nominee in the history of the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Schools and colleges spend billions of tuition and tax dollars on digital teaching tools and other educational-technology products, yet they rarely demand rigorous evidence that those products are effective.

Measuring Wi-Fi signal strength from iOS
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: Is there an app I can get for my iPhone that will actually let me walk around and measure the strength of my Wi-Fi network in various parts of my house? I'm trying to figure out the best place to put my Wi-Fi router and the normal Wi-Fi indicator on the iPhone seems kind of random to me.
- Ken
A: Unfortunately, Apple doesn't allow third-party developers direct access to the hardware in iOS devices, which makes it difficult to develop an app that can monitor things like actual Wi-Fi signal strength.
That said, however, there are a few apps out there that can work around this by monitoring secondary factors, such as network throughput. Apps like Speedtest.net can measure network performance on-demand over both a Wi-Fi or 3G connection, and there are several others that perform similar functions.
Following along these lines, Network Multimeter uses a similar design but displays the information in real-time as you're walking around your house. Again, this app won't measure actual Wi-Fi signal strength, but it does measure data throughput, based on an actual file transfer or a network "ping" response out to the Internet, and uses this information to provide near instantaneous feedback on the conditions where you're currently standing. It's not a perfect solution, but it's likely the best approach you're going to find as a result of Apple's iOS limitations.

Volunteers hurt in Kyvalley blaze
Three volunteer firefighters were overcome by smoke and heat during a grass fire at Kyvalley on Sunday.MICHAEL MASKELL February 5, 2014 5:10am
Three volunteer firefighters were treated for heat and smoke-related sickness during a grass fire that threatened property at Kyvalley on Sunday.
One man was treated at the scene for heat-related issues and an ambulance took another to Kyabram Hospital where he was under observation before being released.
Another volunteer was taken to Goulburn Valley Base Hospital suffering effects of smoke inhalation and was kept overnight as a precaution.
Temperatures peaked at 42°C as firefighters fought to contain the blaze, which tore through 20
Kyabram CFA captain Mick Crompton said 15 tankers were initially called to the fire about 1.30
Two aircraft — a water bombing helicopter and another helicopter that acts as a scout from Bendigo — helped the effort.
It took about an hour to control the blaze.
Mr Crompton said he believed the fire started from a car that was being test driven in the paddock.
He said the layout of the property hampered crews, making access to the fire difficult.
''Given the extreme temperatures, all crews did a marvellous job,'' he said.
''The general public need to be aware that what we do as volunteers can sometimes be quite dangerous and sometimes in the line of duty we can get injured. They need to think before they act as it can have consequences.''
Graham Rd was blocked from McEwen Rd to Peppertree Lane for about three hours.
The last crew left the scene at 7

Next stop on their world tour! Johnny Depp and Amber Heard jet into Germany with his children
It's certainly an unconventional summer break - but it's one Johnny Depp's children will surely never forget.
Having joined their father on his tour to promote his new movie The Lone Ranger, Lily-Rose and Jack are seeing the world.
After spending two days exploring the busy Japanese city of Tokyo, it was time for some culture as the group jetted into Berlin in Germany.
Joining them was Johnny's girlfriend Amber Heard.
Going strong: Amber Heard was seen arriving in Berlin, Germany with Johnny Depp and his kids on Thursday
The foursome were seen stepping out of their jet, donning some of the same ensembles they wore for their departure.
Amber, 27, looked comfy casual, donning a black maxi skirt, sleeveless white blouse, and sandals.
hair was styled straight and flowing past her left shoulder as she
carefully made her way down the plane's stairs, following an
unidentified female friend.
Lily-Rose, 14, followed while Johnny, 50, aided his son Jack, holding onto the metal railing and looking back to ensure his child's safety down the steps.
Jack looked cool in a pair of cuffed jeans and simple white T-shirt, as Johnny showed his signature style in a tan, collared shirt, black vest, and coordinating blaser.
You got it! Johnny made sure his son Jack could manage the steps
teamed the pieces with a pair of distressed denim trousers with pink, a
khaki, brimmed hat, and a pair of blue-tinted shades, also
accessorising with colourful jewellery and bandanas.
The $225 million Disney movie has been deemed one of the biggest box office flops of the year after it pulled in a disappointing $49million over its opening weekend, so the actor has been working extra hard to ensure international audiences see the movie.
Depp plays Native American warrior Tonto, who recounts the story of his experiences with The Lone Ranger (Hammer).
Big girl: Johnny's daughter Lily Rose was also seen leaving the plane, walking alone
Heard appears to be a rock for Depp throughout the promotional tour and even flew into Moscow to join him on the Russian leg.
couple met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2010, but were only
romantically linked last year in the wake of the actor's split from
Vanessa Paradis.
They have been reluctant to talk about their relationship and in a recent interview with Bullet magazine Heard refused to answer questions about the private island Depp reportedly bought her, saying: 'The island ... is my private life.'

Nine-year-old boy 'strangled himself on his dressing gown cord while playing Cowboys and Indians in his bedroom'
- Connar Kiedyk was found hanged in his room in Grimsby, Lincolnshire
- He had been excited about seeing the Olympic torch just hours earlier
Tragic: Connar Kiedyk died after he was hanged by a dressing gown cord while playing Cowboys and Indians in his bedroom, an inquest has heard
A nine-year-old boy died after he strangled himself on a dressing gown cord while playing Cowboys and Indians in his bedroom.
Connar Kiedyk was found hanged from his bunk bed by his sister in June last year.
He had been excited when the Olympic torch had visited his primary school earlier the same day.
An inquest at Cleethorpes Town Hall, Lincolnshire, heard how Connar's sister had been sent upstairs to ask her brother to sign a form as part of a change to his family's doctors surgery when she found him hanged.
She ran downstairs and told her mother Ursula Kiedyk that Connar might have 'done something very stupid.'
Mrs Kiedyk ran upstairs to Connar's room in Grimsby, called an ambulance and attempted to revive her son.
Connar, who had been adopted by Mrs Kiedyk and her husband Anthony in 2009, died shortly afterwards at the nearby Diana Princess of Wales Hospital.
The inquest heard how Connar had been upstairs playing his favourite Cowboys and Indians game using his toy soldiers when he became caught on his bunk bed.
Mrs Kiedyk told the coroner that Connar had a bunk bed in his room with no bottom bunk in it so that he had more space to play and that she had asked him to tidy his room that evening.
She said: 'Connar would usually shove everything in a corner and say it's done, and then said "I'll go check" which meant it wasn't tidy.
'Certain toys had to be downstairs in order for us to keep an eye on him with them, but we had no problems with his toy soldiers in his bedroom which he used to play Cowboys and Indians with.'
The coroner dismissed any link between the incident and concerns that Connar was being bullied by classmates about his upcoming birthday party.
'He was a very caring young boy and took matters into his own hands to help others.'
Tina Burns, Connar Kiedyk's learning mentor
Connar had reported to staff at the Wellholme Community Primary School that his peers had said it would be 'rubbish'.
Staff at the 550 pupil school described him as an 'endearing and bouncy' boy.
Tina Burns, a learning mentor at the school, said: 'He was a very caring young boy and took matters into his own hands to help others.
'He enjoyed the extra attention and had been on a long and successful journey until he died.'
Another teacher added: 'If Connar was being bullied, it was my responsibility to take care of it, and I saw no evidence of it.
'He was an irrepressible but very bright young man.'
District Coroner Paul Kelly recorded an accidental death verdict.
He said: 'Connar was a warm little chap and a much loved child.
'There were no adverse matters or third party involvement in Connar's death.
Hearing: An inquest at Cleethorpes Town Hall, pictured, recorded a verdict of accidental death
'Connar was playing Cowboys and Indians at the time, and it was an experiment involving his dressing gown which cost him his life.'
Mrs Kiedyk paid tribute to her 'lively and bubbly' little boy after the hearing.
She said: 'He was impulsive, and had no fear - except for spiders when he cried like a little girl.
'He had been really excited about his upcoming birthday party just a few weeks after his death and he was really excited about seeing the Olympic torch on the day he died.
'He told me on the off chance that someone had been picking on him about his party, but after that he got on with his usual routine of playing upstairs.
'He loved school and although he got into mischief himself, he never wanted to cause any intentional harm. He once told me he had 32 best friends.
'He understood dangers, but he was always willing to try things in practice.'

Justin Bieber
Justin Drew Bieber ( /ˈbiːbər/ BEE-bər, born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian Pop/R&B singer-songwriter, musician, and actor. Bieber was discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun, who came across Bieber's videos on YouTube and later became his manager. Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher, and then to a recording contract with Island Records offered by L.A. Reid. Bieber's debut single, "One Time", was released in 2009 and peaked in the top twenty in Canada and charted in the top thirty in several international markets. His debut album, the seven-track EP My World, followed in November 2009, and was soon certified platinum in the United States. He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

The vastness and beauty of nature is something that has mystified mankind from the beginning of time. It's as if by seeing the wonders of the world, we see the beauty inside ourselves.
Most recently, I experienced this feeling as the annual HIV Poz Cruise joined forces with the Adventure Bears, a social group of gay and bear friendly men. Together we explored the last frontier, the great state of Alaska. Although not the typical cruising location that you might have pictured in your mind, it was the trip of a lifetime and for me, a time to rejuvenate.
While we might not have necessarily shared the same HIV status nor sexuality in all cases, we did have a blast, and found comfort in our supportive allies.
Together we laughed and bonded while creating and strengthening unforgettable lifelong friendships. It all started in the rainy city of Seattle, Washington which was the point of departure, the beginning of an adventure that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
As the horn sounded and the ship set sail the excitement could be felt throughout the Ruby Princess. It was however without one face that those of us who have been on the Poz Cruise begin to enjoy more and more ever year, our travel agent Paul Stalbaum from Cruise Designs Travel. Although unable to attend this year he put us in good hands as Laz from the Adventure Bears led our group and kept everything organized throughout our journey.
On board we enjoyed private cocktail parties, fun games of trivia, gourmet dinners, and dance parties to shake off all the calories we were gaining from the delicious food onboard. Princess Cruises also had tons of activities to keep us more than occupied. These included whimsical musicals, magic shows by world renowned magicians, and singers with vocals that pleasantly entertained the group.
As we stopped at the various locations through Alaska it was evident that there is so much more of this beautiful country that remains to be seen. Whether it be ATV'ing through rainy and mountainous territory in Ketchikan Alaska, dog sledding with Iditarod past and future champions in Juneau, ocean rafting the beautiful fjord of Skagway, or a serene whale watching tour along the coast of Victoria B.C. Canada, there was something for everyone.
Some even opted to take tours of the majestic glaciers that are well known throughout Alaska and take a train ride through the lush rainforest of North America that yielded its beauty in a stunning display of greenery and wildlife.
It's a cruise that I look forward to every year because as someone who spends much of my time doing HIV advocacy, everyone needs a break from time to time. It's important to take a step back, a deep breath, and recharge so I can come back even more energized than when I left. To have the opportunity to connect with others within the HIV as well as the LGBT community, who as we know have been disproportionately affected by this virus, is an amazing experience. Sometimes the best medicine in life is the joy we share in interacting with one another.
For future cruise information please visit www.hivcruise.com for itinerary and rates. In October we travel the Eastern Caribbean which will include Grand Turk, La Romana (Dominican Republic), Aruba, and Curacao. Looking forward to 2017 we join the Adventure Bears once again and travel the Mediterranean Sea.
I hope to see you aboard sometime, you won't regret it.
** Disclaimer: No assumption of one's HIV status can be made by someone simply attending one of these cruises. **

Have changes in airline frequent flier programs rendered them worthless? Seth Kaplan, Airline Weekly, and CNBC's Phil LeBeau, discuss. » Read More
Two airline analysts turned cautious Wednesday, citing higher oil prices and tepid demand.
Southwest Airlines has joined other carriers in raising airfares anywhere from $4 to $10 roundtrip. But don't fret. Fall airfare sales are expected soon.
Alaska Airlines won top spot in North America for on-time arrivals, according to an annual survey. See which domestic and international carriers made the cut.
American Airlines is resisting the campaign by US Airways to merge, saying it can exit bankruptcy reorganization strong enough to compete with United and Delta.
In a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., US Airways CEO Doug Parker outlined why US Airways and American Airlines should merge.
As a road warrior, I follow just about every U.S. airline on Twitter for updates and deals. American tops my list as the most informative and personable airline on social media and I interviewed the head of this growing and fun team.
Delta Air Lines and the FBI are investigating how sewing needles ended up in sandwiches served to business-class passengers departing from Amsterdam.
Pioneered by boutique hotels, rooftop bars are appearing at bigger hotel chains.
British Airways crew members - wielding tablets - are searching VIPs before their flights in order to recognize them and provide personalized service. Is this going too far?
Two analysts raised US Airways estimates, but the day of reckoning on an AMR merger is delayed.
Delta Air Lines was named the top North American airline in a survey measuring online brand performance, with United and American following close behind in the second and third spots.

WTI crude futures have fallen more than 27 percent since their February high, taking the market by surprise and rendering airline hedges — originally intended to ease the economic pain of higher fuel prices — largely ineffective.
Take a look at some of Tuesday's midday movers:
Purchasing an airline ticket means you agree to the terms of the airline's "contract of carriage." But many travelers don't realize these contracts are written in the airline's favor, limiting your rights when something goes wrong.
The new chief executive of Airbus says he is ready to "bet" that the European aircraft maker's planned new A350 widebody passenger jet will not suffer the same three-year delay that Boeing had with its 787 Dreamliner, the Financial Times reports.

Stainless Steele Appliances, Crown Molding, painted through out, new linens/pillows, new Sealy Profile King Size Mattress-#1 choice of Consumer Reports. New toaster, can opener, and coffee maker. Also, a brand new Keurig Coffee Maker!!
This professionally decorated Courtyard Villa has a peaceful effect on everyone who enters. With beautiful colors of turquoise, white and brown, you'll immediately feel at home; also, Plantation Shutters add to the overall beauty of this villa. Dimmer switches offer ambiance in the evening and ceiling fans in every room keep it cool during the day while the soft curtains gently blow, adding to the feeling of tranquility. The courtyard is very beautiful. The pathway through the gate and into the back is covered in an attractive 'cobblestone appearence'-very quaint and charming. In the back is a table and umbrella with 6 chairs-perfect for that courtyard BBQ on the grill; also, the courtyard is illuminated with beautiful outdoor lighting.
The living room, kitchen and dining room all share a vaulted ceiling which creates a very open and spacious area.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly think of. There's even a crock pot for those days when you want to go play golf and come home to a great dinner.
There is a separate inside laundry room with a full size washer/dryer. Convenient storage cabinets are above the washer/dryer; also, there is a utility sink. Clothing may a be hung in the laundry room, and a pocket door may be closed if one wishes to do so.
The dining room seats 4 with the option to expand the table with inserts and extra folding chairs. Off the living room is a screened in lanai with 2 rocking chairs – great for peaceful reflection.
The Master Bedroom suite has a very comfortable king size bed-new in 2015. It is a Sealy Profile-the #1 choice of Consumer Reports. The bedroom has a down comforter, 2 sets of linens and a soft blanket for additional warmth. Feel at home with the large walk-in closet and private bathroom. From the bedroom, you also have direct access to the screened-in lanai and outdoor courtyard.
The Guest Bedroom has a queen size bed with a down comforter and 2 sets of high quality linens. The bedspread/pillows are new in 2015. The bathroom is right outside the guest bedroom and has a tub as well as a shower. The nicest feature of this bedroom is a pocket door that separates the bedroom and bathroom away from the living room. Guests can have their privacy while reducing any noise coming from the living room.
The 3rd Bedroom is an office / den. The room is very inviting with a HD TV, a desk & chair and a couch - perfect for curling up with a great book. There is also a desk in this room and high speed internet is provided.
New in 2015... Crown Molding is through out the villa and it has been freshly painted.
The Villa is 1/2 mile from Havana Country Club, which offers an excellent wine list along with great food/service; also, if you choose to dine outside, you overlook a beautiful golf course. The villa is very close to Lake Sumter Landing where you have an endless selection of places to eat, an outstanding movie theater, shopping, and nightly entertainment. The Sharon Performing Art Center is approximately 5 miles.
For your at-home entertainment, enjoy a wide assortment of included movies on the DVD or VHS. There are two large flat screen Samsung TV's with HD, offering music, sports , free movies, and numerous other great channels to choose from. Also, there is a 22' Vizio TV in the Master Bedroom (Cable Only).
NO pets and no smoking, please.
Keywords: Courtyard Villa
I have lived in the area for most of my life, and from the time that I was a child, I had the privilege of watching The Villages grow and prosper. I am so glad that I made the decision to live in The Villages, as well as to own the lovely villa which I am offering to you. If you decide that my villa is the perfect place for you to rent, I sincerely hope that you enjoy your stay and fall in love with it just as I did. There's so much to see and do in The Villages...or, relax and do nothing! I look forward to hearing from you soon.
The Owner purchased this villa in 2010
You'll find that the location of my Villa is extremely convenient to anything and everything that you may want to see and do. At the same time, you'll enjoy a nice and relaxing atmosphere that is off the beaten path.
This Villa is all about location! It is centrally located, and close to the Performing Arts Theater, Movie Theaters, Restaurants and Shopping. While location is paramount, the courtyard in this villa is outstanding. The outdoor lighting and cobblestone appearance is truly beautiful.
If you have the opportunity to rent this villa, DO IT ! From the top-of-the-line appliances to the Calphalon pots and pans to the numerous and fluffy towels to the outside electric grill to the tastefully appointed furnishings, our month spent in this villa was everything and more than we could have hoped for. It really added a very special feeling to our vacation to come "home" to such comfort and beauty every day. We would stay here again in a minute !

We would stay here again in a minute!
We stayed in this lovely villa during Feb. & March. It was beautifully decorated, had new appliances, & the kitchen was well equipped with pots and pans, utensils, and small appliances. The lanai and enclosed courtyard were attractive, quiet and private. There were three tvs and wifi, and the furniture was attractive, clean and comfortable. The villa was exceptionally clean and conveniently located between Sumter and Brownwood squares. The owner was very responsive and we would love to stay in this property again.
We enjoyed our stay so much last November 2014 that we returned for 3 more weeks in November 2015. We feel very much at home here. The villa is beautifully appointed with many high end finishes and well maintained. Sharon has been delightful to work with and to know. She went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and boy, did we!! We took advantage of the many activities available such as the new theater the Sharon, movies, and sports such as tennis, golf, pickleball, and paddleball. We played every day. The villa location is very convenient to shopping and all sorts of restaurants. You will not be disappointed in any way if you rent this place.
This is a perfect Villa for our 14 day stay over Christmas break at The Villages! It IS centrally located as you can see by the map right off Odell Drive. We exclusively used the golf cart to get around and thus, the Villa location is convenient to all golf courses, pools, fishing lakes, 3 Town Squares, grocery stores, gas station, restaurants, driving range, etc. Some villas have golf carts, this one does not. However, Sharon was instrumental in helping us obtain one from a reliable company, very reasonably priced and delivered right to the driveway, which Sharon placed it in the garage for us and available upon our arrival! The Villa has all the amenities one has at home and Sharon had just replaced all kitchen appliances with brand new stainless steel, which added such a modern flair to her beautiful Villa home. The lanai and the courtyard is the best place to sit and relax each morning, reading The Villages newspaper and having our coffee! This Villa was so peaceful and serene and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you Sharon! We will return asap!
The pictures in the photos are beautiful and the Villa is just that and more BEAUTIFUL! the location is fabulous - walk to pool, Colony plaza and rec center within short golf car trip or even walking if you are a walker. Sharon the owner is one of the nicest people I've met in the Villages. She made sure our trip was perfect! The Villa is so very quiet and peaceful and fully equipped with everything you need for a fabulous time in the Villages.

Foundations without Foundationalism : A Case for Second-Order Logic, A Case for Second-Order Logic
The central contention of this book is that second-order logic has a central role to play in laying the foundations of mathematics.
About this book
The central contention of this book is that second-order logic has a central role to play in laying the foundations of mathematics. In order to develop the argument fully, the author presents a detailed development of higher-order logic, including a comprehensive discussion of its semantics. Professor Shapiro demonstrates the prevalence of second-order notions in mathematics is practised, and also the extent to which mathematical concepts can be formulated in second-order languages . He shows how first-order languages are insufficient to codify many concepts in contemporary mathematics, and thus that higher-order logic is needed to fully reflect current mathematics. Throughout, the emphasis is on discussing the philosophical and historical issues associated with this subject, and the implications that they have for foundational studies. For the most part, the author assumes little more than a familiarity with logic as might be gained from a beginning graduate course which includes the incompleteness of arithmetic and the Lowenheim-Skolem theorems. All those concerned with the foundations of mathematics will find this a thought-provoking discussion of some of the central issues in this subject.

An Invitation to Law and Social Science

About this book
This innovative work treats law as the set of rules governing how people should act in society, and it demonstrates how the legal system attempts to deter antisocial behavior. Comprised of three sections. the book explores different ways in which law decides issues of responsibility, how cases are adjudicated, and theories of distributive justice and social change. Distinguished by its problem-oriented, topical perspective, An Invitation to Law and Social Science serves as an invaluable book for course in law and society, legal process, and the sociology of law.

Answering Atheism, How to Make the Case for God with Logic and Charity

About this book
Today's New Atheists don't just deny God's existence (as the old atheists did) - they consider it their duty to scorn and ridicule religious belief. We don't need new answers for this aggressive modern strain of unbelief: We need a new approach. In Answering Atheism, Trent Horn responds with a fresh and useful resource for the God debate, based on reason, common sense, and more importantly, a charitable approach that respects atheists' sincerity and good will, making this book suitable not just for believers but for skeptics and seekers too. Meticulously researched, and street-tested in Horn's work as a pro-God apologist, it tackles all the major issues of the debate, including: -Reconciling human evil and suffering with the existence of a loving, all-powerful God -Whether the empirical sciences have eliminated the need for God, or in fact point to him -How atheists usually deny moral laws (and thus a moral lawgiver) in theory

The world of Black Man is another brilliantly constructed, plausible near future. It's scarily close to ours, so many of the superstates are recognisable evolutions of the current political structure. America has fractured into a bible-belt 'JesusLand' and the Union. The major global superpower is the Rim (the Pacific Rim). The technology is based on extrapolations of what we have now -- evercrete replaces concrete, and coffee comes in instant-heat containers -- but the majority of the players are still humans. Just.
There's a colony growing on Mars, corporate influence corrupting the push into space, space-elevators lifting raw materials to and from the surface of earth into low orbit, and shuttle running on the long, long journey to and from Mars.
Into this situation come a set of believable characters; the augmented, hyped-up 'good' guy; the demobbed uber-soldier spawned by genetic experiment who shouldn't be on earth but is; the weary, chemical-assisted police woman. Their paths knit together as the plot progresses -- and Morgan nevers shies away from hot-blooded action and eye-raising plot twists. The only downside is the sheer volume of new stuff which is slung at the reader in the first couple of chapters; you have to get up to speed with a whole new universe pretty quickly.Read more ›
I'm very pleased to have been wrong.
Sure it starts out like just another Blade Runner, with slightly too much `techy' language thrown in to remind us that it's set some hundred years in the future. (Although it does certainly work well on that level. Main protagonist Marsalis can't stay out of trouble for more than half a chapter.)
As the book progresses though, its grip tightens until you can't bear to do anything else but read what happens next.
I see from some of the other reviews that not everyone liked the `twist' about two-thirds of the way through the book where Morgan, in one of the book's few talky chapters, rotates the entire plot through 180 degrees and the whole thing clicks together like a Rubik Cube. I loved it.
It reminded me of a similar pivotal scene in The Maltese Falcon, justifying the `noir' as well as the `tech' in my headline.
This book is solid entertainment, and if it really isn't Morgan's best then I'm even more glad that I've just loaded my iPad Kindle app with his entire back catalogue.
And a great ending. Not 100% original, but absolutely right.
Morgan's writing style and his fine eye for details make the narrative leap off the pages. The author truly knows how to make the story come alive, and I found the imagery quite compelling.
The worldbuilding is interesting, though Morgan doesn't delve too much on how it all came to pass. The USA have imploded and the country has split into three separate States: the Pacific Rim, the North Atlantic Union, and the Republic, also known as Jesusland. China is now a superpower and the rest of the world appears hard-pressed to keep up with them. It is a fascinating backdrop, to be sure, and it's too bad Richard Morgan didn't spend a bit more time explaining how it all unfolded.
The characterizations are well-done, the dialogues gritty. The author knows how to keep the readers interested by allowing us to learn more about the characters by increments.Read more ›
Why? Let me count the ways. The writing is terrific - sharp, intelligent, a pleasure in itself, and that is by no means usual in this genre. It engages directly with a number of political issues that are pressing today, including race (and its intellectual substrate, genetics), gender, globalisation and multinationals, weaving them together. The conclusion does what Morgan does best, reflects the themes that permeate the entire piece, so that there is a satisfying circularity and right-ness at the finish ('We're the real humans' - you'll understand when you get there). Yes, it does work as a hard-boiled thriller, but that is an asset, driving the story through, adding an extra layer of pleasure. And yes, it is kind of cyberpunk - but it's sharper, more engaged, better written than any cyberpunk I have ever read, including He Who Must Not Be Named. And - let's say it again - it is satisfyingly intelligent. This is an overtly political novel that nevertheless refuses to be preachy, for it doesn't tell you about its politics so much as embed them in its invented world and its action. Buy this.

How many women have now made claims of sexual violence against cultural commentator Jian Ghomeshi?
Eight? Ten? Two hundred?
Is it possible that the most beloved broadcaster in Canada — which is what he was — is actually a sick sexual monster?
By his own admission, the celebrated radio icon has been violent toward women.
It's right there in the Facebook post he published last Sunday, the day he was fired by CBC as host of the cultural arts behemoth Q: he enjoys "rough sex", with all the unsavoury nuances that implies.
He argues it was consensual. But as an increasing number of women go public with horrific stories alleging they were choked, beaten and verbally abused by Canada's pop culture golden boy, you can feel his credibility circling the drain.
He can talk about vengeful exes and vicious smear campaigns all he wants. The weight of evidence has mounted against him.
And in an enlightened culture that he, ironically, helped promote, you don't blame the victim.
So it's R.I.P. Jian, because allegations like these, when backed by respected newspapers like The Toronto Star, are something you don't bounce back from.
That's right — his career is toast. Done. Finished. At least in Canada.
And while there are those chortling with glee — because once you reach the pinnacle of success, there are always those who want to see you fall — there are many who, repelled by the allegations, feel a devastating sense of betrayal.
I don't want to overstate the impact of the 47-year-old radio host who founded Q as a repository for all things pop culture seven years ago and rose to international prominence on the basis of his charm, affability and endearing, nerd-like intelligence.
But despite CBC's feeble assertion that his show will chug along dutifully without him, Jian was Q.
"The producers were brilliant and hard-working,'' agrees Emily Gleeson, a Kitchener resident who worked as a Q intern for six weeks in 2012 and says Ghomeshi was nothing but respectful.
"But only when combined with Jian's reputation as an interviewer were they able to break the mould and make great radio — which is rare for today.
"There was a uniqueness to how the show was curated and Jian had everything to do with cultivating that."
Without him — as we've seen in the days since his departure — it would be just another tedious CBC yakfest fronted by pontificating eggheads in love with the sound of their own voices.
Ghomeshi was different: smarter, edgier, hipper. He breathed life into the staid, moribund institution known for shows about politics and gardening, gave it a street cred it sorely lacked, and drew a much coveted younger audience.
More than this, the velvet-toned broadcaster — another irony — seemed to embody all that was good about Canada: progressive, enlightened, open-minded, an immigrant kid of Iranian descent who moved to a lily white Canadian suburb and fought hard for acceptance.
That outsider mentality never left him.
As he interviewed everyone from A-list celebrities to indie-minded outliers, he was pithy but pointed, deferential but determined, an ambitious underdog pushing the envelope with a cool intelligence that won admirers across the country and, lately, in the U.S. as well.
Damn, he was good.
As someone who has made his own feeble attempts to interview media coached celebrities, I can attest how hard it is to get them off their promotional soapbox, to say anything remotely interesting.
"It was a rare privilege working with such a talented cast," they'll tell you with earnest gravitas. "I'm so humbled — no, thrilled to have been offered this role. My new album is the greatest thing ever recorded!"
Celebrities are full of it. And 99 per cent of arts interviewers pander to their egos, happy to feed the marketing monster without batting an eyelash.
Ghomeshi would fawn, but it was never disingenuous. He was a genuine fan. And he worked it to his advantage, gently cajoling subjects out of their comfort zone into areas that made his show crackle with insight and energy.
When necessary, he could also be tough.
In 2009, he made international headlines when he challenged the idiotic assertion of Billy Bob Thornton — there to promote his makeshift rock band — that questions about his movie career were off limits.
What are you talking about? countered Ghomeshi in his gentle, unassuming way. You know you're an actor, right?
Thornton threw a hissy fit and by the time the interview was over, the soft-spoken Q host was hailed as a cross between Rocky Balboa and Mighty Mouse. A Canadian superhero.
If this reads like an obit, it should. Because it now seems clear, his on air tenaciousness, his keening intelligence, were a smokescreen for something else. Something darker.
Most people won't remember Bob Greene, a syndicated American columnist in the 1980s and 1990s who wrote a popular column for Esquire.
The man was an industry legend, a populist icon who — at the peak of his fame — saw his career implode when he became embroiled in a sex scandal of his own making.
Because, like Ghomeshi, he was beloved by readers who related to him on a visceral level, there was a similar air of disbelief when his indiscretions were made public.
But what came out in the years since was that there were two Bob Greenes: sensitive, likable Bob, who championed the underdog and crusaded for justice, and arrogant, entitled Bob, who hit on young girls and disparaged the very readers who doted on him.
One, it turned out, had nothing to do with the other.
Is there a parallel with Ghomeshi?
I don't know. But I can tell you that despite a 1,600-word Facebook post absolving himself of all responsibility, the tide of public opinion has quickly — and decisively — turned against him.
Supporters — their numbers rapidly dwindling — say he's innocent until proven guilty, that as a high profile broadcaster, he was an obvious target.
But the Toronto Star isn't some tabloid rag.
And when an experienced investigative reporter like Kevin Donovan — who I worked with for several years — reveals that nine women (and counting) have come forward with allegations of sexual violence that were decidedly non-consensual, those arguments seem stodgy and irrelevant.
It's not a question of legal culpability, which by the standards of Canadian law, is almost impossible to prove in cases like this anyway.
It's a question of credibility and common sense.
If you're a conspiracy theorist, ask yourself this: why would Reva Seth, a 38-year-old married lawyer, author and mother of three, publicly reveal she had been humiliated and abused by Ghomeshi a dozen years ago if it wasn't true?
What would be her motivation?
As more and more women speak out, credibly, the slow dribble of disbelief has turned, slowly, inevitably, to an avalanche of disgust as Ghomeshigate takes on a life of its own.
Left-wing activist Judy Rebick — longtime Q media panellist — was forced to retract a Facebook link supporting Ghomeshi in the face of public outrage.
Green Party leader Elizabeth May — who expressed sympathy for his predicament — felt compelled to go on the record that she doesn't support "rape culture" or violence against women.
But the most damaging blow came Tuesday, when indie musician Owen Pallett came out with a devastating indictment — and this was before the latest allegations — that, I believe, marked a definitive turning point.
"Jian is my friend,'' the Oscar-nominated Canadian posted on Facebook. "I have appeared twice on Q. But there is no grey area here. Three women have been beaten by Jian Ghomeshi.''
"At no point here will I ever give my friend Jian's version of the truth more credence than the version of the truth offered up by three women. Anonymity does not mean these women do not exist.''
And so we're left stunned, scratching our heads, contemplating how a guy who seemed so warm and fuzzy — so indisputably decent — could be such an alleged sadist behind closed doors.
How could a man who championed inclusivity, gay rights and sticking up for the little guy be so careless and arrogant, so wilfully malevolent?
What dark demons drove him to this level of dysfunction?
If there's a take-away, it's this: don't put people — even gracious, intelligent people who dazzle you with charm — on a pedestal.
They'll let you down every time. Guaranteed.
