Go to: Does Conservatism Have to Be Synonymous With Ignorance?
Conservatism doesn't just mean the desire to conserve things as they are. They could advocate a slower pace of change over something seen as unpredictable and potentially dangerous... in many cases not a bad idea.
As my lecturer has pointed out, for example, "chemical engineering is inherently a conservative industry." Naturally the field is consistently advancing (for the benefit of us all) yet many organisations will prefer to use tried and tested technology first to avoid very costly (and indeed often incredibly dangerous) mistakes with newer technologies. The same argument could be made in politics.
I am quite sympathetic with many fiscal conservatives who advocate a balanced budget. Say what you want, eventually that deficit has to be repaid!
I suspect peoples' views of conservatism are tainted by the fact that it is the social and Christian conservatives who scream the loudest. There are such things as Republicans For Choice and the Log-cabin Republicans (gay rights)!

Go to: Muslim peace conference condemns terrorism
Good news this may be, but 12,000 Muslims here cannot claim to represent the hundreds of millions residing in the Middle East. It simply proves that some religious people can embrace reason.
Furthermore, did they denounce homophobia? Did they denounce Sharia courts? Did they accept that anyone has the right to criticise their religion, through cartoons or otherwise? Did they accept that women have the right to wear what they choose?
If they did then fair play to them. If not then this conference serves only as a hollow attempt at PR.

'If you believe in God all bets are off. The Red Sea can part. There's a temptation to give a bit of ground to rationality. But if you believe in God, why shouldn't there be angels?'
Why shouldn't there be 77 virgins in paradise if you fly a plane into a skyscraper? Why shouldn't women be considered fallen and sinful creatures after eating an apple? Why shouldn't there be eternal suffering in hell?
He just showed precisely how religion can be so dangerous.

Go to: Missing God
This is very interesting. I have never properly believed in a deity, although I have thought about it like anyone else. I feel no such longing for belief whatsoever. I guess, if it has been a major part of your life for years, you might feel like you are "losing" something if you no longer believe.
Nonetheless, I have always found that a universe with a deity (at least of the powerful creator form) would be a far worse universe to be in - little more than a plaything, who suffers, succeeds and fails on the whims of someone far beyond yourself.
More importantly though, I actually suffered hugely when I tried to consider supernatural beliefs as reality - simply because I knew I couldn't back it up with any evidence or reason. The doubt would have torn me apart.

Go to: State schools 'not providing group worship'
Having recently(ish) left school (2008), it's interesting to see the change in the"act of collective worship" over time. Our schools did have assemblys daily but most of them were completely secular. Usually the teacher would go up to the front and tell us a story about something which ended up having a bit of advice about "life" at the end. Very few of them kept up the pretence that there was a religious element at all.
I never really had a problem with the assembly I usually received because the person delivering did often have something insightful (to my mind at least) to say that didn't descend into "collective worship," whatever that's supposed to mean.
Perhaps they should change the name to one replacing the word "worship" with "reflection".
Although as an afterthought, having to sing hymns in primary school DID get on my nerves. A lot.

Go to: Is the Vatican cooperating fully with the Irish government?
The Catholic Church should be told, quite bluntly, that they can go and shove their 'Canon law' up their backsides. They should completely and utterly comply with civil law and civil law alone in every matter. The fact that they are still wittering on about Canon law suggests they still haven't got the point.

"Without Christianity, our country is simply impossible to imagine."
Very true. I doubt Hitler would have won much popular support without his constant invocations of him doing God's work throughout his speeches and Mein Kampf. Imagine how much weaker his political position would have been without his concordat with the Catholic Church! If only.

Go to: "The £9,000 tuition fees cap won't last – we're biting the bullet first"
Stevehill, among others, is one of the people who sees this rationally and pragmatically in my opinion.
Practically, free higher education is now totally unsustainable in this country if we still encourage many of those two million students to study pointless courses at sub-standard institutions.
But I still notice how many people state that is fair to give free higher education to those who want it. What about those who don't want it? There are many wise people, who've decided university is not for them, who go on into perfectly productive careers. How is it fair that they should pay for a bunch of lazy students to spend three years drinking, do no work until the day before exams and come out with a 2.1 yet have no job prospects? Of course I, as a student myself, am not saying all students are lazy but frankly I know a fair number who squander their time at university and squander their student loans on alcohol and clothes. I am not exaggerating.
30 years ago, when everyone went to university having earned a place studying an academically rigorous course at a good institution, it's clear to see the justification for taxpayer funding. But now? Many people I know have gone to university, done nothing, learnt nothing and cost the (already struggling) taxpayer a great deal of money for nothing at all. It's wrong. It's just wrong.

Go to: [Update - comments by AC Grayling] British academics launch £18,000 college in London
I have a very large project to do and so do not have the time for protracted discussion but I feel your appreciation of the situation is totally unrealistic.
Good students (and I currently count myself among them) certainly are a resource but many are a drain - they study pointless courses with no academic rigour or career value (either in terms of direct practical benefit or in terms or the aformentioned academic rigour). I feel it is totally unfair that people wise enough to realise they could better themselves outside of higher education should pay for the fees of those who will do bugger all work until the day before the exams. I notice that so many focus on what is fair for those who want education (although many of them will put in no effort, as my personal experience testifies) but completely ignore what is fair on those who DO NOT want education.
Mentioning bank bailouts, I certainly have no love for many bankers at all, but in the short term I would prioritise protecting the industry responsible for up to 20% of the UK economy (and much of that university funding you cherish) from absolute collapse over the funding of thousands of students who would have benefited much more from something else than their university course.
I'm afraid I feel it is you who is blind.

Go to: [Update - comments by AC Grayling] British academics launch £18,000 college in London
Rather than hurl an ill-considered and entirely ignorant comment when the facts are entirely unclear (as is the entirety of higher education in the UK currently), I was told by one of my lecturers that Cambridge currently runs at a considerable loss for every student it educates.
Even Cambridge will run out of money eventually (many poorer universities already are) - the system has to change dramatically. And the new system has to be pragmatic and functional, not hopelessly idealistic. I would envisage that means either increasing fees or reducing student numbers.
Perhaps in an ideal world education should be limitlessly free for all. But in the real world, we have exceeded that limit. Something will give - either universities will collapse or funding will change.

Go to: [Update - comments by AC Grayling] British academics launch £18,000 college in London
If we lived in an ideal world, surely tuition fees could be free.
30 years ago, the argument that university education should be free for the good of society would have struck a chord with me. But with the advent of non-rigorous courses at dozens of universities that should not exist in esteemed subjects such as "waste management," and "equestrian psychology," I can no longer agree.
Frankly, half of the people I went to school with should not have gone to university. They do little work until an hour before the exams and still come out with a 2.1. Much of what they study COULD have been found elsewhere. I find that detracts from the many talented people who would benefit from study under distinguished academics.
Trust me - as an engineering student at Cambridge, just reading things off google (while very useful at times!) is no substitute for a (rigorous) university education. I personally find that patronising.
It may be unfair to charge people for university but it is also grossly unfair to charge the people realistic enough to accept that university is not for them for people to go to university and do absolutely no work whatsoever for three years. Tuition fees (introduced and then tripled by the Labour government, not the "evil" Tories do not forget) are trying to balance the two.
I also found the £18,000 price tag a little unfortunate but perhaps I am pragmatic enough to accept that , whilst the higher education system in the UK is in the mess it is (thanks to blunders of both Labour and the Conservatives), such things may be necessary. I find self-righteous comments and brazenly ideological statements are much more part of the problem, not the solution.
I wish we had a more pragmatic and less tribal electorate. But pigs can fly.

Go to: Get them while they're young
It's interesting. My grandmother bought up my dad and his siblings with considerable religious zeal. It had the effect adverse to her intentions. He is now a resolute atheist who would sympathise with many of the positions put on this website.
My grandmother tried to preach to my 30 year old sister and her boyfriend the other week. My dad was not pleased at all. What's more she simply alienates herself because me and my siblings become afraid to visit in case she tries it again.
I guess sometimes the "marketing" works, sometimes it doesn't. Perhaps, as I live in the UK, it is too easy to see the non-religious alternatives whereas in the US people (especially in the mid-west I'd guess) are smothered with religious dogma in all directions.

DAHLONEGA, GA – North Georgia women's basketball head coach Buffie Burson has announced the addition of a new guard for the 2012-13 season during the NCAA's Early Signing Period that started Wednesday morning.
Keeley Chester, a 6-1 guard from Forsyth Central High School will join the Lady Saints next season and will look to step in and be an immediate contributor to the squad.
"We feel very blessed Keeley has chosen North Georgia," head coach Buffie Burson Wednesday afternoon. "She was a highly sought after recruit and we are thrilled she will be wearing the blue and white next season."
Chester has led Forsyth Central to back-to-back State Tournament appearances for the first time in the last 25 years. Last season, she averaged 12 points per game, four rebounds per game, four assists per game and three steals per contest.
The two-time All-County selection has tallied 840 career points and led her AAU Georgia Elite team to a 2010 Final Four appearance at the National Tournament.
"Keeley is a 6'1 combo guard who will fit our system perfectly. She has the ability to score in so many different ways, in addition too, she's a tremendous passer. She will be an exciting player to watch for the next four years!"
Chester won the "Top Dawg" Award at Forsyth Central, and the senior is an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The soon-to-be Lady Saint volunteers her time at the local elementary school assisting academically challenged students.

Windmills were common motifs in seventeenth-century Dutch landscapes and in the watercolours of Cox and his contemporaries such as J.S.Cotman. The mill in this landscape is reminiscent of the one in On Dulwich Common, Surrey, reproduced as plate XVII of Cox's Treatise on Landscape Painting and Effect published in 1813. The woman with a cape, the packhorse, dog and hens are typical rustic accessories in Cox's landscapes.

Richmond >Food & Dining >
Bakeries >Miette Cakes
1 Ferry Bldg Ste 10, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411137.948394 -122.341822
Neighborhoods: North & East
A cake lovers dream! Miette has exceptional baked goods. Enjoy a cupcake immediately and pick up a pack of their signature homemade graham crackers to go.
A little bit of sugar – I love the Ferry Building and this little stand is so delicious. The macaroons at Miette are a must try! They are absolutely delicious. I also tried the old fashioned cupcake (dark chocolate cupcake with marshmallow frosting). It was one of the best cupcakes I had ever had! Definitely stop by this little shop when you visit the Ferry Building.
There must be better out there. – While the cupcakes were o.k., I exect a lot better for $3 each. The pote de creme was not good and I possibly had the worst tasting eclaire ever. The young redhead who helped me was very nice...but that was about the only thing this place had going for it.
Ice Queen – Consistent with other vendors in the Ferry Building, Miette features beautiful products, made from the best ingredients, that are ridiculously overpriced. I frequently visit the cute display cases, and I have purchased several of their pretty desserts. The cakes are rich in taste and colors, and everything is cute and delicate - terrific for impressing guests, aunties, and birthday girls (things are very pink here). Three things that disappointed me about Miette: (1) Everything is pre-made Elsewhere, refrigerated, and shipped to Here (make sure you bring cakes to room temperature before serving) (2) While frosting and decorations are perfect, the actual cakes are unimaginative and standard (euphemism for "not delicious") (3) The staff comes off as pretentious and patronizing (example: One server distractedly refused to add a macroon to a customer's $35 credit card purchase because the credit card approval process was already underway. Worse still, the server was impatient about the customer's broken English - a visitor on vacation from Malaysia - and rudely insisted that the cookie was paid for in cash ). Conclusion: looks great, tastes "eh"
A Most Gorgeous Affair – I am appalled by what some others have written about this lovely spot. Obviously, they have not had the pleasure to see and to taste what Miette has to offer. Every single confection I have ever had the gastronomical pleasure of tasting at this sumptuous (in every sense of the word) shop has been enough to make my knees buckle in delight and make me squeal like a five year old. The macarons surpass the "real" french ones I have had...they have this little thing in a jar called "po de creme" that will virtually change your little world. All this and the fact that they barely capitolize on the fact that all the ingredients are local and organic...I love you Miette!!
Miette = "crumby" – I starting patronizing Miette when they were a stall at the old Farmers Market. Their goods were spectacular to look at and tasted as good as they looked. Now that they've moved into permanent digs in the Ferry Plaza, things are not the same. They frequently don't open on time (losing valuable business which I just don't get), so it's difficult to shop with them if you're an early market goer. What's worse is the quality level has diminished significantly. My last purchase was stale. There is no other way to describe it. Service is also a big issue. The staff are frequently aloof and unfriendly even to long time customers. It's sad to say .. but in this case success evidently went to their heads. I so used to look forward to a treat from Miette. Now I pass them by.
Fantastic chocolate ganache cake – We served their chocolate cake with ganache at a recent party with a little homemade whipped cream, strawberries, and raspberries. It was perfect and the guests raved about how delicious it was. The store was also kind enough to keep the cakes in their fridge while we shopped around the farmer's market.
Pastries Just Not Up to Par – I've tried their desserts when they had a small stall at the outdoor farmer's market, as well as their new location in Ferry Plaza. While the desserts look beautiful, they simply don't have flavor or finesse to match. If only they tasted as good as they look.
A whimsical patisserie spins sugar fantasies from a retro-inspired nook. – The Scene
With pale pink walls, frosted-glass pendant lamps and pastel cake pedestals, this small shop conjures up a little girl's archetype of the perfect bakery. The charming staffers who man the counter are unfailingly patient with indecisive sugar fanatics wavering on what sweet to order.
The Food
It's hard to choose from the fanciful confections behind the glass-covered case, all of which are available whole or by the slice. The mostly French-inspired goods drip with sweet authenticity, such as velvety lemon tart, barely crunchy macaroons and petit fours crowned with tiny marzipan flowers. Traditional American favorites, such as dense carrot cake and moist gingerbread cupcakes, are blanketed in a silky cream cheese frosting. Inventive cookies, like lavender shortbread, pair perfectly with an afternoon cup of tea. For breakfast, stop by for morning buns and flaky croissants.
Needs Work!!! – I'm sure at one time the cakes were great, but my fiance and I sampled the lemon cake and were very disappointed in the taste. The cake was old and dry. The flavor was awful. We went there after reading the reviews and thought of ordering a wedding cake. Now that we've tasted the cake we will not be coming back. Please fix your quality, I'd like to see this bakery succeed.

This summer's hottest plimsolls and canvas shoes
Ever wondered why the plimsoll is called that? According to Nicholette Jones' book The Plimsoll Sensation in the 1870s it got the name because the coloured horizontal band joining the upper to the sole resembled the Plimsoll line on a ship's hull. So just like the Plimsoll line on a ship, if water got above the line of the rubber sole the wearer would get wet.
So now we're officially in summer, we can safely get out our plimsolls! (and hopefully avoid trench foot following a British summer…)
So much cooler than trainers, here's our top ten plimsolls to step out in this summer.
Lacoste Glendon Off White £70
Lacoste take a premium approach on the Glendon using a off white light canvas upper with sand rope detailing and sand tube laces. The iconic crocodile logo and a vulcanised sole unit finish things off. Office

This Policy Memorandum was prepared by the Illinois Department of Public Aid. DPA administers the Medicaid and KidCare programs. These programs provide medical benefits to families with children and to other persons. This information is to be used by staff of the Illinois Department of Human Services when authorizing medical benefits for persons on behalf of DPA.
The LTC-ADI project began in 1996 when the DPA Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted investigations of LTC applications meeting certain error-prone criteria as identified by Family Community Resource Centers (FCRCs)in Cook (Medical Field Operations) and DuPage counties. It had two phases and was concluded in February 1998.
Due to the success of identifying undisclosed assets and unreported asset transfers in this project, DPA has contracted with a private vendor to conduct asset investigations on LTC applications filed on or after 12/01/04. The initial roll-out, effective 12/01/04, will be conducted only in Knox, Madison (115), St. Clair (112), Will, and Winnebago counties. Specific counties will roll out monthly during the period of 01/01/05 through 04/01/05.
Effective 04/01/05, the LTC-ADI project will be conducted statewide. Do not apply the information contained in this memorandum until your county is included in the project.
The following chart provides the effective roll-out date for each Region/County and the maximum monthly referrals allotted to each county.
The LTC-ADI project does not include applications for persons residing in supportive living facilities (SLFs).
The LTC-ADI project will focus on the review of error-prone LTC applications. The project is intended to evaluate the cost benefit of completing asset investigations on applications containing specific error-prone criteria to ensure that LTC applicants with excess assets use them for their care.
All LTC applicants are required to complete Additional Financial Information for Long Term Care Applicants (Form 3654). This form is used to obtain additional financial information and assess financial management.
At a minimum, Form 3654 must be signed. By doing so, consent is given to any investigation made by the Department to verify information on the form. Signing Form 3654 is a condition of eligibility. If the applicant or representative refuses to sign Form 3654, deny the application. Since the investigation process may be delayed otherwise, encourage applicants and representatives to complete Form 3654 in full. However, local office staff are not required to ensure that Form 3654 is completed in its entirety.
Refer LTC applications that meet one of the following criteria to the OIG for an asset investigation:
If an application does not meet any of the criteria, process the application in the usual manner. If a criterion is met, complete Long Term Care - Asset Discovery Investigation (LTC-ADI) Referral Form (Form 3654A). A copy of Form 3654A is attached for use until an initial supply is received.
When the maximum allotted referrals are met for the current month, send only the completed Form 3654A to the OIG (the address is at the end of this memorandum). Do not attach any documentation. An investigation will not be completed for these additional referrals. However, they will allow the OIG to track the number of applications meeting the referral criteria. Process these applications in the usual manner.
Until the FCRC refers the maximum number of cases allotted for the current month, immediately refer the application to the OIG (the address is at the end of this memorandum). Attach copies of the application, any asset verifications provided, Form 3654, and the CAF to Form 3654A. Retain a copy of Form 3654 and Form 3654A.
The OIG will review each referral to determine if it should be forwarded for investigation. FCRCs will be notified of any referrals not forwarded for investigation. If not forwarded for investigation, process the application in the usual manner.
For referrals forwarded by the OIG for investigation, the investigator will complete the asset investigation within 35 calendar days and verify all assets and asset transfers reported on the application. Since the investigator will verify the information, do not request verifications of assets or asset transfers. However, the FCRC may inform the applicant that the OIG may be contacting them for this information.
If any verifications of assets or asset transfers are received by the local office on a referred application, send the information to the OIG (the address is at the end of this memorandum). Include the case name, case number, and the date the application was referred for investigation.
Applications referred for investigation cannot be approved until the investigation is completed or the local office is advised by the OIG that the referral was not forwarded for investigation. For cases pending beyond the time limits, follow policy at PM 17-03-00.
Applications referred for investigation may be denied prior to the completion of the investigation. If an application is denied, notify the OIG by memorandum (the address is at the end of this memorandum). Include the reason for denial.
If a referred application is transferred to a new local office due to an address change, attach a copy of Form 3654A to the case record. Forward any information received from the OIG to the new local office. Notify the OIG that the application has been transferred to a new local office.
The investigator will forward the results of the investigation to the OIG. The OIG will send an Asset Report to the local office on each application investigated. The Asset Report provides all required information for each asset and asset transfer and includes the following information:
Local offices will not receive copies of verifications or supporting documentation with the Asset Report. This information will be available upon request from the OIG. The local office may request copies of the verifications and supporting documentation for appeals, when necessary to finalize an application, when documentation is requested by the applicant or representative, and in any other situation deemed appropriate. To obtain copies of the information, or for questions, contact the OIG at (217)524-5097 or fax your request to (217)524-6038.
Along with the Asset Report, the OIG will send an LTC-ADI Recommendation Report to the local office. The report includes the investigation findings and any recommendation by the OIG. Although the OIG may make a recommendation, the local office retains the responsibility for determining eligibility, including whether an asset transfer is allowable or nonallowable. All inquiries by the applicant or representative are to be handled by the local office.
Local office staff must notify the OIG, by memorandum, of the reason any recommendations are not taken.
As stated throughout this memorandum, send all referrals and correspondence to:

Crews recently clear-cut the right-of-way for nearly two miles of planned road to connect an industrial park at McClellan with Alabama 21 north of Lenlock.
The path was cleared in hopes that the city of Anniston will receive $4 million from a statewide roads program. Kevin Ashley, a city engineer for Anniston, said city leaders will know Jan. 24 if they will receive the grant.
MDA Executive Director Robin Scott said his agency has hired a company that has completed 30 percent of the diagrams needed to start construction of the project. The company remains on standby, ready to finish the documents once the funding is secured.
"We anxiously await the outcome," Scott said.
The grant is part of the Alabama Transportation and Rehabilitation Improvement Program, or ATRIP. Through the three-phase initiative, nearly $1 billion will be allocated to roadway projects throughout the state. In the second phase alone, the city of Anniston and the Calhoun County Commission are each applying for more than $10 million in roadway projects.
According to an ALDOT letter sent to mayors and county commission chairs throughout Alabama, projects taking top priority for ATRIP funding will be those that better connect communities, make routes safer or promote economic development.
ATRIP's funding comes from a type of financing called Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicles, in which states can pay for bonds using anticipated federal funding. Like most ATRIP programs, the city of Anniston will have to provide matching funds to be eligible for the grant — $1.3 million in this case.
If approved, the money will pay to extend Iron Mountain Road to reach Alabama 21. Iron Mountain Road connects with Veterans Memorial Parkway to provide a route to Interstate 20 from the industrial park.
Iron Mountain Road opened in 2010, and Scott said about 4,000 vehicles already travel on it each day. However, the extension to Alabama 21 at the northern extreme of Anniston's city limits will give quick and easy access to major roadways both north and south of the industrial park. Scott said that access is important in attracting more industry to the area.
"This is a big plus for companies," Scott said. "It's critical for businesses to be able to move their products."
Anniston City Planner Toby Bennington said the access road will not only make the area appealing to industrial companies but to developers looking to set up commercial properties and residential real estate, too. The key benefit to the area, he said, will be more jobs.
Bennington said the access road will also give city leaders an opportunity to work with officials from the Alabama Department of Commerce and market the industrial park to suppliers of major manufacturers in the state like the Airbus plant in Mobile.
Local officials believe that once the ATRIP funding is in place, construction crews could complete the extension of Iron Mountain Road in two years.

We can't stand the fact that baseball players like Mark McGwire and Alex Rodriquez have admitted to cheating by using steroids, yet they are still in the running for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
There are cheats like Pete Rose, who have it worse. He had a bit of a gambling problem while playing baseball and we haven't yet found it in our hearts to forgive him. It looks like Rose will never be allowed into Cooperstown because of his past even though he is one of the absolute best players of all time.
And then there are the cheats we just love to hate, like Tiger Woods. At first he was the hard-nosed, serious golfer, intense on being the best and making the most money. He was the face of perfection. After his Thanksgiving mishap in his neighbors' yard, he is now considered a sex addict father of two children (how many more?) who can't seem do to anything right. He's total scum right now, yet we all can't wait to see how Tiger is going to climb his way back to the top of the pro golfing world.
The best thing about sports and cheaters is that as fans, we can pick and choose who we forgive in our hearts and who we don't. I certainly would forgive Pete Rose's gambling before forgiving McGwire's juiced-up ball playing. Hell, I would probably even forgive Tiger and all his sins before McGwire simply because McGwire has constantly chosen to treat us like idiots to our faces.
But there is nothing worse than a professional athlete who accuses another player of cheating when it's technically not true. Yes, Scott McCarron, I am talking about you.
With Tiger in sex rehab somewhere, the PGA Tour is rolling with everybody's favorite lefty, Phil Mickelson, as the new number one player in the world. Everything was going smoothly at last week's Farmers Insurance Open (a bit boring, actually, without Tiger) until McCarron decided to call Mickelson a cheater for playing with a 20-year-old square-grooved Ping Eye 2 wedge that had slipped through a loophole in U.S. Golf Association rules.
The gossip that McCarron had called Mickelson a cheater spread like wildfire across sports websites, at the dinner table, and through playgrounds. We all talked about it, yet nobody seemed to understand what advantage Mickelson (and others) might gain from playing with a square-grooved club. According to Reuters, only a month ago when the USGA implemented new rules barring the use of clubs with square or U-grooves. The Ping Eye 2, however, was deemed legal because of a lawsuit won by Ping over the USGA 10 years ago. Apparently the new rules were implemented after researchers found that modern configurations could allow players to generate almost as much spin with irons from the rough as from the fairway. (Sometimes you have to wonder if golfers have too much time on their hands.)
So McCarron is mad at Mickelson (and others) for using the loophole to bring the Ping Eye 2 golf club onto the course. "It's cheating," he said at first. Then on Tuesday, he issued an apology to Mickelson, putting an end to the debate over the Ping Eye 2.
"I would like to apologize to Phil Mickelson for the comments that I made," McCarron told reporters on Tuesday. "We had a very nice conversation ... and we both realize that we are on the same page on this issue. We think it's an issue that clearly needs to be resolved."
Frankly, I like people who can find loopholes in life. If someone can read the fine print and get a legal advantage, more power to them. That's why McCarron looks like a whiney baby right now. Instead of taking advantage of the loophole himself, he decided to take some invisible road of high morality and point the finger at others. McCarron looks like a helpless baby here.
This is a perfect example of that old cliché, "Don't hate the player, hate the game." McCarron should ride the USGA for changing the rules rather than Phil for using the club. I mean, what's next McCarron? You going to call Mickelson out for using tax loopholes as well? Loopholes and fine print are the American way. McCarron obviously doesn't get that. (Or he does, but thinks he has higher morals to admit it.)
Perhaps McCarron should go out and purchase a new Ping Eye 2 golf club and maybe this weekend he'll make the cut to the final round. Mickelson finished the Farmers Insurance Open 19th overall, while McCarron finished tied for 95th, in case you were keeping score.
I would say McCarron could use a word of advice next time he decides to call someone out for being a cheater when he really isn't. It's always better to call someone a cheater after you beat them, not after you lose to them. Otherwise, you just look like a whining loser.

Blitzle is quite the oddball in Little Cup. It has high Speed, but unfortunately, it falls short of the 19 Speed benchmark. It has decent Attack and Special Attack, but doesn't have a great movepool despite having access to a priority attack. Also, unfortunately, it will usually have a surefire counter depending on the Hidden Power that it's running. Its low defenses open it up to a multitude of attacks, and a super effective Earthquake will usually be enough to OHKO Blitzle. Overall, it's a decent Pokemon that could have been great if it had more moves to work with.
This is an effective set for Blitzle to run, as it is a decent sweeper lategame. Agility is a great, reliable move for Blitzle to double its Speed, while Flame Charge is a coverage move that still increases its Speed. Wild Charge is the best STAB attack that Blitzle has access to, as its Attack is higher than its Special Attack, ruling out Thunderbolt for this moveslot. Hidden Power Ice allows Blitzle to attain BoltBeam coverage. Pursuit is a decent attack for Blitzle to trap weakened Ghost-types, while Quick Attack gives Blitzle a priority attack. Lightningrod is a great ability that will increase Blitzle's Special Attack if hit with an Electric-type attack.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Because Blitzle has decent Speed without any boosts, Charge Beam is a viable move to help boost its power. Charge Beam is obviously the crux of the set, giving Blitzle a 70% chance to boost its Special Attack. Thunderbolt is its most powerful special STAB attack, while Hidden Power Ground is for Chinchou. Flame Charge is a Fire-type attack that will allow Blitzle to hit Ferroseed super effectively, as well as Snover on the switch. Flame Charge also comes with the added bonus of boosting Blitzle's Speed; however, Quick Attack is a useful priority attack if Pokemon such as Croagunk are troublesome for your team. Motor Drive is a good ability that gives Blitzle an immunity as well as a boost to its Speed should it be hit by an Electric-type attack.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Blitzle doesn't have many other options to run whatsoever. It can use Double Kick for a super effective attack against Munchlax, but it has to invest heavily in Attack to net a 2HKO. It can run a Choice Scarf set, but Chinchou does this much, much better. Return is an option for a physical attack with neutral coverage on a lot of Pokemon, and hits much harder than Quick Attack. Volt Switch can be effective for Blitzle to act as a scout, but again, Chinchou is a much better user. Finally, Blitzle has Thunder Wave, but doesn't really have the bulk to use it effectively, and a bad prediction could leave it helpless against a Pokemon with Substitute.
Checks and Counters
If Blitzle is not using Hidden Power Ice, Hippopotas can easily dispatch it with Earthquake. Diglett can trap and KO it with Earthquake, but has to avoid Hidden Power Ice or Grass on the switch, and it must be wary of a Speed-boosting move. Munchlax only fears Double Kick, and will most likely not be 2HKOed by the move. Wynaut easily traps and KOes Blitzle, and Chinchou beats Blitzle if it doesn't have Hidden Power Ground.

On Wednesday, Aug. 22, approximately 3,800 first-year and transfer students will arrive at Syracuse University to kick off the 2012-13 academic year. When they do, Syracuse Welcome, SU's orientation program, will help them get acclimated and ready to start the new semester.
Syracuse Welcome involves hundreds of student and staff volunteers who warmly greet incoming students as they arrive on campus. These volunteers will assist students with move-in and help them get familiar with campus. Once settled, new students will participate in events and experiences designed to get them acquainted with each other, the campus, its resources, and the greater Syracuse community.
"Syracuse University has a wonderful tradition of coming together as a community to greet new students and families," says Carrie Grogan Abbott, director of the Office of First-Year and Transfer Programs. "Syracuse University students—affectionately known as the Goon Squad—have been volunteering in this capacity since the 1940s. Hundreds of University faculty, staff, and alumni also come together with the students, all to make our new students feel part of the SU family."
Signature features of Syracuse Welcome include:
Welcome to the academy
As always, intellectual engagement will play a central role in Syracuse Welcome. The Chancellor's Convocation for New Students opens the academic year Friday, Aug. 24 in the Carrier Dome. SU Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor will greet students and their families and introduce the inaugural first-year experience. The convocation begins at 10:30 a.m. and ends with SU's traditional "Lunch on the Turf," after which families will be encouraged to depart campus.
Students will also attend academic advising sessions, new student receptions and convocations for their home school or college.
Welcome to Central New York
Syracuse Welcome continues its long-standing tradition of introducing students to the wealth of opportunities for fun and engagement off the hill and within the city of Syracuse. On Saturday, Aug. 25, SU hosts "Feel the Pulse of Syracuse," an exploration of downtown Syracuse and the Connective Corridor. Students will visit the heart of the downtown area to sample the cultural, commercial and social offerings of Armory Square.
The evening will feature a taste of Armory Square restaurant offerings in a street festival atmosphere, a chance to shop in the historic Armory Square district, and a sampling of eclectic showcases of live music and dance. As the evening unfolds, giant puppets from the Open Hand Theater, along with the SU Marching Band, will move a festive procession along Armory Square. The evening will culminate at the John Mulroy Civic Center with a laugh-out-loud comedic performance.
Note: Traffic volume in and around the University will be heavier than usual, due to the move-in on Aug. 22 and 23. Assisted moves will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. Those traveling in the University area should keep this in mind as they enter and leave the area. On Aug. 25, Walton and Franklin streets, between Fayette and Jefferson, will be closed from 2 -7:30 p.m. Free parking for patrons of Armory Square businesses is available all day in the Atrium Garage on Fayette and Franklin streets.
For a complete listing of the week's events, visit http://readyset.syr.edu. The site also contains answers to frequently asked questions, updated schedules and registration information. Syracuse Welcome is a University-wide effort coordinated by the Office of First-Year and Transfer Programs.

Sometimes it's the offhand remark that's the most telling. Indeed, the way we Americans casually, often unthinkingly, incorporate gun metaphors into our everyday slang says a lot about how deeply embedded guns are in our culture and our politics, and how difficult it is to control or extract them. Consider this list, presented as bullet points — which are themselves so conventional, so central to the typography of mind-numbing PowerPoint presentations, that you can forget what their shape represents.

Is there a way to delete a program on the HR10-250 while watching it?
Posted 08 March 2006 - 01:32 PM
Posted 08 March 2006 - 03:38 PM
If you're near the end, it'll often prompt you to delete just like you went all the way to the end.
Posted 08 March 2006 - 05:59 PM
Sometimes i don't remember if I've watched a recorded show so I'll start watching it and then want to delete before it gets to the end. On the UTV and the R15 you can just hit stop and it will give you an option to delete it. Since there's no stop button the Tivo the only solution i've found is to jump to the end, FF and play and then have to wait to delete the program. Is there a faster way?
From your remote, press the List button. Then press the Clear button, and then select to delete.

Jim DeBruycker
Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
I have a winter cabin that I set up to turn the heat on by telephone using an X10 Touch Tone Controller. Here's how it works.
I have an inexpensive thermostat set up in the mud room. This room has an outside door, a dog door, is small, and so of course is the coldest room in the house when the heat is turned off. I set this thermostat to 45F. Its wired directly to the air handler unit, which is a heat zone on the basement oil fired boiler. I call this the default thermostat.
I have a second thermostat on the main floor interior hallway. This I leave set at 70F. It is wired through a low voltage X10 module, so when the module turns off, the thermostat does not communicate to the air handler. The X10 module is plugged into a 120V wall receptacle, and its low voltage contacts interrupt the 24V thermostat signal. I call this the normal thermostat.
I then have an X10 Model TR16A Touch Tone Controller. It is plugged into a receptacle and also to a telephone jack.
Before I leave the cabin I turn the normal thermostat off by using the key pad on the controller. I can also turn it off at the module itself, or of course, using my cell phone. Before my next visit I call the house 2 hours in advance, wait for the controller to answer with a tone, type in my code, the controller responds with three beeps, then I press 1* for module 1 on, then the controller responds with 3 beeps and turns the thermostat on.
Bugs in the system included poor communication between the controller and the module. I found that the X10 devices do not communicate dependably across sides of the breaker panel, so I made sure that controller is powered by a receptacle is on the same side as the air handler. In fact, it is the same circuit.
A second bug was that the controller would overheat. I had it set on my work bench and it became covered up with work gloves, so it stopped working until it was reset by unplugging it briefly, which of course negated the whole remote control thing. So I put the unit on a timer which turns it off for a short period of time in a 24 hour cycle. That particular unit must have had a defect (or I had initiated on by burying it under a pile of gloves), and eventually had to be replaced. I keep the new unit on the time just in case, plus I have it set on a wire shelf unit so it gets a lot of air circulation. In any case it seems to operate at only a slightly elevated temperature, just like any other plug-in electronic device.
In any event the system is working well after three years. So well, in fact, that I added two more modules. Module 2 shuts off water to the house. A lot of times when I leave I have the dishwasher running a last cycle, and of course this needs water. An hour after I leave I can call the house and turn the water main off. I did this by inserting a ¾ Rain Bird sprinkler valve on the water main. I have a 24V transformer, always on and powers the valve. A second low voltage X10 module interrupts that circuit.
A third module controls the domestic hot water. Sometimes my wife wants to do a load of laundry that she didnt get to the week before, or we were pressed for time and had to pick up one of the kids from practice, and needs to take a shower right when we get there. So I call the house 20 minutes before we get there and turn the hot water on. When I get there I then turn on the water main, and everything is ready to go.

Doesn't 6 bowls seem to indicate an 8 team playoff down the road? Think about it . . . 4 bowls for the first round, 2 bowls for semifinals, and one championship game bid out. It would be easy to convert to an 8 team playoff down the road.
Steve Spurrier has always been in favor of a college football playoff. His preferred system: eight teams, seven games.
So it should be no surprise that South Carolina's head coach went down that road yesterday when asked if a one-loss SEC team should play in this year's BCS title game:
"I have tremendous respect for playoffs. If you have eight teams going at it, then all of those undefeateds and some of those with one loss would have a shot at going at it, but that's not the way we do college football. So you accept the fact of the way we do it and whoever plays in the last game, one of those two has got a chance to win it all."
Actually both teams in the final game would have a chance to win it all, but you get the coach's drift.
The BCS commissioners continue to work out the details of football's new four-team playoff and six-bowl rotation of semifinal games that will begin after the 2014 season.

Webinar: P2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and Cost Savings Tools
— filed under: Webinar
Join the EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention for this free webinar highlighting P2 tools designed to help measure the environmental and economic performance results of pollution prevention activities.
January 16, 2013
2:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET
Join this webinar to hear how newly designed tools can demonstrate the unique multi-media perspective that P2 brings to reduce GHG reductions and cost savings. The tools include the following:
- P2 Greenhouse Gas Calculator
The P2 GHG Calculator calculates GHG emission reductions from electricity conservation, green energy, fuel and chemical substitutions with lower GHG-intensities, water conservation and improved materials and process management in the chemical manufacturing sector. This tool will assist program participants in submitting higher-quality data for the program measure and demonstrates the unique multi-media perspective that P2 brings to reduce metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e).
- P2 Cost Savings Calculator
The P2 Cost Calculator assesses cost savings associated with reduced costs for hazardous inputs in a facility process, reduced costs for handling hazardous waste, reductions in annual air permitting fees that are based on actual emissions, reduced water discharge treatment costs based on gallons discharged, reduced charges for water usage, reduced fuel costs and reduced costs for electricity. Understanding potential cost savings presents a big incentive for action and collaboration to program beneficiaries.
- Gallons to Pounds Converter
This is designed to provide conversions from units commonly encountered in business to units needed for P2 Program measures. It is not uncommon for hazardous materials to be measured in gallons for business purposes – gallons of paint or gallons of waste water, for example. For program purposes, all these gallon measures need to be converted to pounds of hazardous materials for the program measure "pounds of hazardous materials reduced."
