Universal rules for knowing what to do or not to do
on April 7, 2004
This famous 50-page survey of Natural Law thinking is one of Professor Lewis's tougher but more important works and with the current revival of NL thinking it should rise again. As moral philosophy (of the realist-objectivist school), via ancient literature, it is unusual and original. It is certainly not a work of theology. Confucius, Hindu 'Laws of Manu', and ancient Babylonians are quoted on a par with the Old and New Testament. (Catholics may sail through; but antinominianists will struggle against a non-theist exposition of the universal Law. In this case take Rom. ch. 1-3, and a bracing meditation on the concept of General Revelation as a tonic.)
Although its terseness makes it unsuitable for beginners, it would be possible to work up to it; either via Lewis's 'Mere Christianity', Book I, and Book III, parts 1-5 (a total of about 40 pages); and then the two essays from his book 'Christian Reflections', entitled 'On Ethics' and 'The Poison of Subjectivism' (total 25 pages). Or read Plato's 'Republic', Bks. 1-4, avoiding the old Jowett translation. (Kantians could limber up with 'Plato's Modern Enemies and the Theory of Natural Law', by John Wild.)
SYNOPSIS: Chapter 1: Men Without Chests
The first 7 pages are discursive and, read once, may be skipped thereafter (rather like Book 1 of Plato's 'Republic'). They famously and confusingly deal with the link between objective aesthetics and emotive reactions to 'Nature'. It is not for Philosophy 101 students, reactions ranging from: 'What--who cares?--it's only opinion', to 'How is this relevant?'. Read the 'Republic', Bks. 1-4 until mastered.
The dogs of war are unleashed in the next 6 pages, from the paragraph opening:
'Until quite modern times all teachers and even all men
believed the universe to be such that certain emotional reactions
on our part could be either congruous or incongruous to it...'
We then race through Coleridge and Shelley's 'just' and 'ordinate' reaction to beauty in Nature; Augustine's on 'virtue as ordo amoris, the ordinate condition of the affections'; Aristotle and Plato on education (beauty and ethics); Rta and satya in early Hinduism; Tao (pronounced "Dao") in the Analects; and the Law (of the Lord) of the Hebrews. [Compare ancient Egyptian Maat.]. This is the universal 'doctrine of objective value'. To not know it is to invite the separation of fact and value, as all sentiments (emotional habits) are made purely subjective and even non-rational. Plato's tripartite model of Man: the Rational element rules the Appetites via the Sentiments (Spirited Element): 'The head rules the belly through the chest...The Chest--Magnanimity-- Sentiment--these are the indispensable liaison officers between cerebral man and visceral man. It may even be said that by this middle element that man is man: for by his intellect he is mere spirit and by his appetite mere animal.' To deny this model is to produce Men Without Chests.
Chapter 2: The Way
Even Subjectivists have objective values. The fact that they act at all, even to propagate their own point of view, proves that they hold some real values. Calling values 'progressive' is subterfuge: progressing to what, and why? Modern ideologies isolate an element of morality, exaggerate its importance, and suppress others. Eg, communist States supposedly feed everyone fairly-but crush individuality, freedom, truth, and creativity if it helps.
We cannot get a moral basis for human action from reasoning with facts alone--no deducing an 'ought' from an 'is'. This does not debunk moral reasoning: it merely proves that there must be Moral Axioms to start from, as there axioms in logic. Plato and the Stoics called this basic morality Natural Law, the other cultures by their synonyms. Lewis chooses the term the 'Tao' for brevity and neutrality. Scientific objections: morality is Instinct--but if two instincts clash how will you know which to obey? There is no Master instinct. The great civilizations all agree in this: so much for sociological relativism. Moral progress within the tradition of the Tao is possible: Paul the Pharisee, 'perfect as touching the Law', yet he saw its limits.
Chapter 3: The Abolition of Man
The 'Brave New World' scenario: if we cede final and total socio-psychological control to technocrat master-politicians even the few at the top will have to act according to some moral principles. But they also must be the ultimate Supermen, incapable of making mistakes, and guaranteeing happiness for the brainwashed ant-minions: '...the magician's bargain: to give up our soul, get power in return.' But to give up your soul is to lose yourself. And so losing free will in society results in the Abolition of Man.
Appendix: Illustrations of the Tao
Select quotations on the basic morality of ancient Babylon, Egypt, Israel, Greece, Rome, India, Anglo-Saxon, etc.
1. The Law of General Beneficence, negative and positive.
Do not murder. Love thy neighbour. (Hebrew)
2. The Law of Special Beneficence
If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith. (Christian)
3. Duties to Parents, Elders, Ancestors
Your father is an image of the Lord of Creation, your mother an image of the Earth. For him who fails to honour them, every work of piety is in vain. (Hindu)
4. Duties to Children and Posterity
The Master said, Respect the young. (Chinese)
5. The Law of Justice: sexual; honesty; in court
Has he approached his neighbour's wife? [sinfully];
To wrong, to rob, to cause to be robbed;
Whoso takes no bribe [in the judiciary]...well pleasing is this... (Babylonian)
6. The Law of Good Faith and Veracity
The foundation of justice is good faith. (Roman)
7. The Law of Mercy
I have given bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty, clothes to the naked. (Egyptian)
8. The Law of Magnanimity (self-sacrifice)
To take no notice of a violent attack is to strengthen the heart of the enemy. Vigour is valiant, but cowardice is vile. (Pharaoh Senusert III, Egypt.)

Explains, shows the consequences but little argument
Bruce H
on June 17, 2001
I read this book after a few different sources mentioned it as a book that deals with moral relativism. After reading the book, I don't know if I can honestly agree with many of the other reviewers. I have read two other books by C.S. Lewis, "Mere Christianity," and, "The Screwtape Letters," so I think I have some idea what his approach is. I can only hope that I am failing to grasp his ideas or that I am misunderstanding him.
Definitions: moral relativism: The position that there are no moral absolutes, no moral right and wrongs. The philosophical position that all points of view are equally valid and that all truth is relative to the individual.
moral objectivism/absolutism: The position that there are universally binding moral principles that apply to all persons, at all places and at all times.
The book discusses the consequences of moral relativism and shows the difficulty of replacing absolute ethics with relative ones. However, I don't come away from the book thinking, "All right. I know how I can show moral relativism is false in a debate. I now know how to defend absolute ethics against objections." Perhaps this simply was not the objective of the book.
The first essay (it was originally a lecture) titled, "Men Without Chests," was probably the best in my opinion. Lewis examined a common elementary level school English textbook and looked at the philosophy that it taught. The implication of the wording and the subtle way in which relativism was communicated is prophetic. This same analysis could no doubt be applied to our current trends of political correctness.
In his essay titled, "The Tao," Lewis provides much argument to show that a moral system cannot be based on instincts. However, much of his argument seems to reduce to: moral objectivism is axiomatic. He argues that there are simply moral first principles, analogous to the three laws of logic, which cannot be denied. However, I think there are many people who would deny that moral objectivism is self-evident. If I were a moral relativist, I would hardly be convinced by Lewis' arguments here.
The last section is titled, "Illustrations of the Tao." Lewis calls natural law or moral objectivism the Tao. This section simply provides excerpts from different books around the world (e.g. ancient Egyptian, ancient Chinese, Roman and Jewish) to show the universality of certain ethics.
I would have liked a book that looked at the founders of moral relativism and their opponents. Then, a point-by-point analysis of their position followed by some examples of how moral relativism fails. I would much prefer the rigorous argumentation of Dr. William Lane Craig to this. I just honestly think that relativism is false but this book does not show that fact. I am going to read and review, "Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air," by Francis J. Beckwith, Gregory Koukl; I think this book may be better at refuting relativism.

Too close to home
on October 25, 2003
Format: Paperback
The Abolition of Man is curious. It begins from a mere germ of an idea, inferred from an unchallenged source, and then slowly balloons until it is a diatribe against eugenics, modern education, moral relativism, egoism, secularism, scientism, Nietzche, Darwin, and Jeremy Bentham.
It's a rather audacious trajectory, and would be ludicrous if it weren't so... accurate. As the saying goes: "I'm not paranoid if they're really out to get me." Lewis makes some bold statements here, extrapolating from a relatively subtle implication in a textbook to a metaphysical humanist conspiracy. But Lewis understands Natural Law, and understand the penalties of disobedience. Consequently, the picture he paints of the evolutionary abolition of anything recognizably human in man is disturbing and all too believable.
Anyone familiar with today's college campus, or today's journalist, will realize the total victory of relativism (unless, of course, he is a relativist). Conditional eugenics, so thoroughly disgraced by the Nazis and the New Deal, is replaced by Genetic eugenics, praised and lauded ala the human genome project. Anyone who sits back and wonders what we'll do "once we crack the code," ought to read The Abolition of Man for his answer... or "Dumbing Us Down" for confirmation.

Read more carefully [...]
on June 9, 2003
Format: Paperback
This book will not be easy for everyone, but it will be rewarding to engage with it, even if you disagree with Lewis' thinking. The series of lectures known as _The Abolition of Man_ (TAoM), which are presented here as essays, are not intended to be thorough or in-depth refutations of the positions which Lewis takes issue with. So people who complain that he doesn't successfully refute things like emotivism in this work are right - but he didn't intend to launch into that in depth. These lectures were meant to paint a portrait, to explore a perspective, and to breathe a few whispers of supporting argumentation within the space afforded. Judge his work according to what he intended to accomplish by it, and don't posh-posh it because you demand more - or less - from it than what he expected to offer by it.
Many people seem to think that Lewis' is arguing, in the first section, against "Moral Relativism" (MR). While MR is an aspect of what Lewis is here concerned with, it is not what he directly addresses. Morality, popularly used, merely refers to "rules for behavior," whereas what Lewis is talking about is not directly behavior, nor rules for it, although there are behavioral implications to what he is talking about.
What he _does_ address is the problem evidenced in the grammar textbook he quotes from, that students are being taught to think of their own sentiments/value judgments as 'merely' their own emotions having nothing to do with the objects or events upon which they are passing judgment. Once, he says, you teach a student in one instance to sunder their evaluation of a thing from the thing itself (i.e., to teach that when I say that a waterfall is sublime, I'm not saying anything about the waterfall, but only about my own emotions: I'm really saying "I am having sublime feelings," not "the waterfall is such that the most proper response from me is to feel that it is sublime"), the result is that you train the student to snap any perceived link of the correspondence between their sentiments/value judgments and the world. Lewis is claiming that there are qualities intrinsic to objects and events themselves that ought to call forth proper responses in us. Furthermore, he claims that the correspondence between our sentiments/value judgments are more or less true by virtue of their conformity to an Order that roots reality, and Order which, in relation to proper sentiments/value judgments, we perceive intuitively and kinesthetically, if at all (he calls this Order "the Tao" for convenience, and demonstrates that ancient civilized cultures were quite familiar with such an experience and understanding of the world). This Tao is what we try to articulate in all of our moral principles (our moral principles, therefore, may be provisional - if we discover that the Tao is better articulated by a competing principle, we are not abandoning the Tao by discarding our old principle to embrace the one we have just come across. We are simply claiming, then, that our older principle was an inferior articulation of the Tao, and thus corresponded less perfectly with it). This is a much subtler point than what I understand many to have in mind when they rail against MR.
The final section of the book was an interesting and haunting perspective on where Lewis sees these new habits can lead if left unchecked. For any interesting related reads on education, morality and such, feel free to fire me off suggestions and/or to pick my brain, if you think it's worth picking.

Good point, but a bit awkward
Kevin Artinian
on October 8, 2002
Format: Paperback
I am not a Christian, but I find C.S. Lewis to be one of the most rational Christians I have ever read. This is the second book I've read by him, not counting the Narnia books, and I have a sort of conditional love for his work. Here Prof Lewis takes a little story about false values accidentally impressed upon students in public schools, and takes it to a far-spanning level. He goes on to explain that values only work if they are expansions of past values, because human values are all traced back to the primordial Tao. Not every example he makes works. For example, he mentions Nietzsche's morality as an innovation without grounds, when, first of all, Nietzsche DID NOT ADVOCATE MASTER MORALITY, but rather encouraged personal morality; and Nietzsche's ideas all have solid ground in ancient Greek philosophy. Nevertheless, Prof Lewis advocates a fair system, where new ideas are acceptable, but we never forget our roots. After all, without this book, we might end up like in Brave New World. That would be bad!

Interesting gathering of ideas, concepts, and theories.
Chadwick H. Saxelid
on February 18, 2003
Format: Paperback
I'll admit that some of Lewis's comments left me in the dust, but I did appreciate how well grounded some of his arguments were. If there is not some common shared moral or ethical viewpoint in the mass of humanity, then all will be lost and undoing the teaching of the past is undoubtedly a BIG mistake. If we do dismantle the teaching of the past and build something knew, just what foundation will it be built upon if the moral or ethical foundation is as small and individualized as grains of sand? Certainly some will jump all over this essay published as book (actually it reads more like lecture notes than an actual book or essay), but I found little fault with it other than the parenthetical one mentioned above. Highly recommended.

Will read over and over again
on September 11, 2011
Format: Paperback
This is one of those books to be read at different times and seasons of life. It was not an easy read, however brief it is. Anyone concerned with traditional societal values (not just Christian) held in antiquity and rejected in modernity, may be interested to give this a go. I feel like Lewis has defined and qualified what I had believed for a long time, but lacked the faculties required to sense it.

A Prophetic Book from WWII
on October 14, 2001
Format: Paperback
It's truly amazing how correct C.S. Lewis was in this book. From a single example of a new school book, he foretold exactly what the Liberals (in the American sense) would do to mankind via the educational establishment. A very short book, but a very good one.

Taxpayers to Give Jersey Shore $420,000 for All the Good Times
Some New Jersey politicians are not pleased.
Rules are rules: New Jersey's Economic Development Authority approved a $420,000 tax credit today for the first season of MTV's Jersey Shore, despite the years of damage that the show has done to the state's already less-than-golden reputation. The government does not take into account the show's content, which is illustrated in its official description of the Guido Real World: "The roommates live in a house and are asked to work in a local establishment on the New Jersey Coast. The cameras capture the interaction," reads the official application for the credit. "Interaction," in this case, means dancing, drinking, fighting, and farting; so, some lawmakers are not pleased about the taxpayers' burden.
"I can't believe we are paying for fake tanning for 'Snooki' and 'The Situation,' and I am not even sure $420,000 covers that," one New Jersey assemblyman said. Governor Chris Christie said in a statement that he, too, dislikes what the show means for his state's image. According to a spokesperson, Christie "has also been clear about his belief that film tax credit programs are not the most effective way to spur economic growth throughout the state." But, the mayor of Seaside Heights — the show's locale — said, "The boost to the economy certainly shows; when they are here, this place is busy." Let's see Jerseylicious do that.

By Sgt. Jon HeinrichFebruary 24, 2014
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. -- The U.S. Army recently began issuing a new hearing device called Tactical Communications and Protective System to units.
The 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), is the first brigade in the Army to receive the new TCAPS device, according to Maj. Mia P. Bruner, the assistant product manager for TCAPS with Product Manager for Soldier Warrior.
"This system provides advance active hearing protection to Soldiers," Bruner said. "So not only does it protect Soldiers hearing, but it enables their situational awareness.
The hearing protection is designed to protect Soldiers against noises such as blasts and weapons fire and steady state noises like vehicle engines.
"It also provides hearing protection against impulse noise, so high noise environments against blasts and also steady state," Bruner added. "So if a Soldier is in a vehicle for a long time, or helicopter or aerial vehicle it will provide protection as well."
According to data collected, Soldiers have refrained from wearing other hearing protection because they feel it took away from situational awareness despite the damage that could be done to hearing.
"Post-combat health reports show that there have been significant hearing injuries or loss of hearing after a deployment," Bruner said. "So with this system, we feel that it can fill the gap of providing hearing protection for Soldiers."
The device works by incorporating an active sound-suppression unlike previous noise cancelling devices that feature passive protection.
"It incorporates active noise reduction, so the Soldiers, when they're wearing the device, the background noise is being actively reduced for them," said Lt. Col. Amy A. Blank, the Army hearing protection program manager for Fort Campbell at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital. "So what they hear is much more clear and concise, as well as protection."
Bruner stated that the TCAPS device is designed to be compatible with the New Equipment Training Team Warrior system and other rifleman radio sets to include the (Army/Navy Portable Radio Communications) AN/PRC-154 and the AN/PRC-148 Enhanced Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radio (MBITR).
Bruner also mentioned that the Army's G3 (Operations) provides PM SWAR with a list of which brigades area fielded the new TCAPS based upon upcoming deployment dates, with four brigades receiving the device each year.
"This is very important to us because we're able to field our equipment, get it out to Soldiers because we do all the acquisition work, now we have a solution where we want to get it into Soldier's hands as quickly as possible after it's been tested and proved," Bruner said.
"And so that's why this is so significant to us so that we can get the feedback that we're looking for from a Soldier's perspective."
After 1st BCT, the next units will be a brigade from Fort Bragg, N.C. and two brigades from Fort Drum, N.Y., according to Bruner.
The brigade began receiving the TCAPS device Feb. 4, with each unit being fitted and issued and by Feb. 21.
"When they first come in, we look in their ears because this particular TCAPS device has a component that goes down into the ear canal so every Soldier had to have their ears looked at," Blank said.
Blank added that Soldiers have their ears sized with foam tips that attaches to their TCAPS, which they then have logged into a system that is provided to the units later.
After being sized, the Soldiers inventory all of their equipment and are trained on the importance of hearing and hearing loss in the military before learning about all the components of their new equipment.
The Soldiers are then shown how to wear the new earpiece and are also inspected to ensure it feels right and is working properly.
"What happens is there's a little ear piece, a little foam tip that goes on there, and the foam tip gets put down into the ear," Blank said. "Very similar to little foam ear plugs, you need to hold it for 20-30 seconds to let it expand."
After the tip expands inside the ear, the device then is placed over the ear to keep it secured onto the Soldier's head along with a spring that sits in the back bulb of the ear to keep the tip in place.
The Soldiers whose Companies have already began training with their TCAPS in live-fire exercises are already providing feedback on the new devices to PMSWAR for improvements.
"I think the biggest thing is just getting the right equipment out to Soldiers and I think we got it right," Bruner said. "I think once you get out and talk to Soldiers and hear some of the same comments that I've received as well, you'll really see all the work that went into this system."

Welcome To Screamscape!
If you're a theme park lover or enjoy the best thrill rides the world has to offer, you've found the right place.
From new ride announcements, construction reports and the latest rumors: Screamscape always has something new to report.
News & Rumors
LAGOON Farmington, Utah(Just North of Salt Lake City)
Park News - (4/5/16) According to the latest talk I've had with Screamscape sources in the area, the rumors about the Spider foundation were false, and the coaster was simply taken down to be painted because it was possible and easier to do over the colder winter months than trying to do it set up. In other park news, I'm told that Cannibal has a new addition… a new support column was added to the Inverted Loop element to help dampen some of the excessive movement in this area of the ride. (3/12/16) Word from the Screamscape Spy Network is that while Spider was in need of a paint job anyway, another reason they took it down apparently had more to do with issues that arose with the ride's concrete foundation. So down the coaster came for a fresh coat of paint while the foundation was re-poured or repaired and now it's going back up. One interesting item mentioned however is that another benefit of repainting the coaster is that apparently Lagoon is considering the idea of selling the coaster in the near future, and a fresh coat of paint and fresh rehab will make it more attractive to potential buyers. (3/8/16) Good news for Lagoon fans, the Spider spinning coaster is indeed being put back together, with some new bright colors as well. A local reader sent in a picture a few hours ago showing off the current state of it.
2016 - Nothing is known at this time...

It's been a bit of an intense week. I figured, time to put up a post that gives me a quick laugh. Hopefully it's obvious, but just in case, the girls in camo are not real soldiers. They are models. As such, why not pit girls in camo vs surfer chicks.

Koral Los Angeles
Kendall Jenner in KORAL Mid Rise Skinny in Ordue Destroy
Kendall Jenner was spotted running some errands in Los Angeles, California. The model wore a pair of the KORAL Mid Rise Skinny in Ordue Destroy with a gray t shirt and some white sneakers. She finished her look off with a gray hat and a Saint Laurent bucket bag.
I just love Kendall's choice of keeping the look monochromatic. I find that it helps bring the details of the jeans out and the t shirt and white sneakers really complement the jeans well. What do you think of this casual look? You can click here to purchase these jeans from REVOLVE.
Reese Witherspoon in KORAL Cigarette Mid-Rise in Black
Reese Witherpoon was spotted dropping by the magazine stands in Los Angeles, California. The actress wore her KORAL Cigarette Mid-Rise in Black with a shirt from her Draper James line and a pair of simple wedges.
This look here is classic Reese. There is a Southern Prep vibe to it with hints of flirtiness from the collar decals. It is a look that really works for her and is updated from time to time with different accessories to help keep the look interesting. What do you think of Reese's style? You can click here to purchase KORAL from SHOPBOP.
Reese Witherspoon in KORAL Cigarette Mid-Rise in Black
Reese Witherspoon was spotted on her way out of her office in Beverly Hills, California. The actress wore a pair of KORAL Cigarette Mid-Rise Jeans in Black with a floral embellished shirt from her Draper James line and some sandals.
This is a really great look on Reese. The styling is on point to suit her. I like that she went for the cigarette cut as it plays off well with the details of the shirt really well, which I find also helps the look feel less severe and livens up the all black. What do you think of Reese's look here? You can click here to purchase KORAL from SHOPBOP.
Reese Witherspoon in KORAL Skinny Jeans
After months of not seeing many photos of Reese Witherspoon, it seems like there are new photos of her almost every day! She was photographed again while out and about running errands in Los Angeles.
It's not surprising that she wore her KORAL skinny jeans. This time she paired them with a flowy white blouse, a straw hat, and heels. Seeing her out in these jeans so frequently has really demonstrated how versatile this wash is and how it goes nicely with so many different looks. You can buy KORAL online from Revolveclothing.com.

The Audibility of Changes in Geometric Shape, Source Directivity, and Absorptive Treatment: Experiments in Auralization
The prediction of room acoustic measures using computer models is now a standard procedure with most acoustic consultants. The next logical step from predicting measures is to allow people to listen to the acoustical conditions in a planned hall - so-called auralization. The increased performance of computers and digital audio equipment has made it possible to create an auralization of a proposed hall within reasonable time and economic limits. This paper reports on some demonstrations of realistic room acoustic phenomena using computer models based on actual acoustic spaces and also on some more idealized rooms. The object has been to introduce the technique to and get response from acousticians as well as those who would benefit from it the most in the long run - the musicians and the concert-goers.

Bam Margera Posts A Photo Of Him Holding A Gun To His Puppy's Head, Then Apologizes
It was a fake gun, but the message could not have been worse. He also posted more photos with him holding the gun against human heads, which is also not funny. Now he has apologized for the whole thing.
1. Here are the series of photos he posted to Twitter a few days ago:
13. And the public apology that was stated during an interview at his home:
In Chester County (Pennsylvania), which has seen a number of cases of horrific animal abuse recently, SPCA spokesman Rich Britton called the picture "not funny" and said that, even for a shock comedian, Margera "missed the mark on this one."
In an interview Monday at his Chester County compound - home also to his six cats - Margera said that had he known about the incidents of torture, he never would have posted the photo.
"I think those people need to go down," he said of the abusers. "Just hurting another animal is rude, crude, and more."
Margera said that he doesn't even own a gun, and that the only time he ever fired one was at a clay pigeon at a sporting event.
Still, he said, sometimes a joke is just a joke.
"I feel like every follower I have on Twitter" - more than 800,000 - "knows my Jackass joking kind of humor," he said.
- DNC Day 3: President Obama dropped the mic with "Don't boo, vote," and vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine reminded people of their dads 👴
- Prosecutors have dropped remaining charges against Baltimore police officers related to the death of Freddie Gray.
- Twelve states will support Obama's transgender policies in court after other states sued to block the rules.

Prep basketball: Houma Christian notches two victories over Assembly Christian
Published: Saturday, January 20, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 19, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
Houma Christian School and Assembly Christian (Lafayette) were even for eight minutes on Friday night, but the remaining three quarters proved to be a dead end for the Eagles.
Rebekah Bankston scored 25 of her 27 points in the second half to help the Warriors attain a 50-24 win at the HCS gym.
Assembly Christian led a couple of times in the opening quarter and later went ahead 9-8 in the second period when Stacy Roseberry sank a free throw.
The Eagles would be on top one more time thanks to a jumper from Bethany Headley, but Houma Christian put up the final eight points of the half to take a 20-11 lead heading into the third quarter.
"We struggled in the first quarter but then we did a better job of running our offense after that," HCS coach Chad Duhon said. "In some past games we had let other teams control the tempo, so we had to pick up the pace."
Lindsey Martinez had four of those final eight HCS points on a pair of driving scores. Audra Zeringue blocked a shot on one occasion that started Martinez on a fast break.
Her second score came in the final minute to account for the Warriors' nine-point advantage at the half.
The Warriors began the third period by notching the first eight points to change the score to 28-11. Mary Bergeron's 3-point play accounted for the 17-point lead with 4:38 left in the third quarter. Michelle Ochoa made one of her three 3-pointers to end the HCS run, but the quarter would end with the Warriors doubling Assembly Christian 36-18.
"We had to change things up a little on defense and get our guards back there to cover (Ochoa) on the outside wing," Duhon said. "When we came out in our 2-2-1 press after the first quarter that helped us."
The Eagles had a tough time cutting into the HCS lead in the final period. Although Ochoa started the frame with another outside shot, Bankston's scoring allowed the home team to pull away.
Kathryn Trosclair made a baseline jumper with five minutes remaining for Assembly's last field goal.
In addition to Bankston's 27 points, Jolie LaFont had 10 points for HCS (4-3). Ochoa led Assembly with nine points.
Houma Christian 68, Assembly Christian 56 (boys)
It seemed as though two different teams took the floor for Houma Christian School on Friday night. But, luckily for the Warriors, the squad that showed up after a slow start and before an uninspired finish was dominating in a victory over Assembly Christian School of Lafayette.
"We've been having trouble starting off and finishing a game," said Houma Christian coach Chuck Battaglia. "We have a lot of kids who don't have a lot of experience, and it takes them a little while to get into it. But they're improving with every game."
Houma Christian trailed 12-10 early in the second quarter before scoring nine unanswered points in taking a 19-14 advantage.
Assembly Christian trailed by just two points at halftime, but with center Jared McDowell out of the lineup for most of the second half due to foul trouble, the Warriors steadily increased their lead. A basket by Brett Farmer with two minutes remaining in the game gave Houma Christian a 61-43 lead, its largest of the game.
McDowell had four fouls by halftime and played just three minutes in the second half before fouling out with seven points.
"He's only a freshman," said Assembly Christian coach Byron Starks. "That's the good thing about it. Those are things that he can learn from."
Assembly Christian went on a last-ditch 13-3 run. But with the clock working against them, the Eagles could only close the deficit to eight points.
"We came out mentally prepared for the game," Starks said. "But the guys didn't respond. We missed a lot of layups. We missed a lot of free throws, and that's kind of what hurt us at the end."
Farmer led the Warriors with 22 points. Chuckie Lichenstein, an eighth-grader, finished with 15 points. And Spencer Collinson had 14 points. Olivier Martinez scored a team-high 15 points for Assembly Christian. Dustin Emerson added 11.
The homecoming victory improved the Warriors' overall and conference record to 6-2.
"It's a conference game for us," Battaglia said. "The way our conference is set up, some teams we play twice and some we play once. This is a team that we play once, so it was a win-lose situation for us."

Girl/girl lovers with a taste for something a little hard.
The action is pretty hot here a lot of the time - and not overly rough, being from Extreme and all - but it seems they took the dark Fight Club aesthetic a tad too far, as most of the scenes are severely under-lit, to the point that it's sometimes difficult to distinguish who the performers are. This certainly is the case with scene two, between Little Bit More and a brunette who can barely be made out, though she does some delectable making out with Little Bit's twat. The opener between thug Katrina Kraven and cop Melanie Jagger is a solid stroker, too. Just be sure to tell renters they'll need to crank up the brightness level on their TVs.

Placekicker Jay Wooten, who announced his decision to leave North Carolina earlier this summer, recently decided to walk on at South Carolina.
He will be given a chance to earn a scholarship.
Wooten, who played at Laurinburg's Scotland High, had also considered Arkansas, Louisville and Coastal Carolina. But both of his parents were Gamecocks, and a meeting with head coach Steve Spurrier settled it.
"I always wanted to be a Gamecock," Wooten told S.C. recruiting expert Phil Kornblut. ""It's funny because it was not a good situation (coming out of high school). "They didn't really need a kicker and I was excited about playing at North Carolina. Things didn't work out. They wanted me to concentrate more on kickoffs."
Last season Wooten, then a sophomore, made all of his 11 extra point attempts and four of six field goals.
As a transfer, he'll sit out this season and have three years to play his final two.
"There isn't a more exciting place to be on Saturdays than Williams-Brice Stadium," he said.

IMF Says Agreement Reached on Romania's Precautionary Loan
The International Monetary Fund completed a review of Romania's loan accord, saying the economy may expand slower than earlier forecast because of a prolonged drought and political turmoil before elections this year.
The IMF and Romania reached a staff-level agreement to unlock the next tranche of the country's precautionary 5 billion-euro ($6.2 billion) loan, the fund's Mission Chief Erik de Vrijer said in Bucharest today. The Balkan nation hasn't drawn any money so far from the loan.
Romania's economy will probably expand 0.9 percent in 2012, down from the earlier forecast of 1.5 percent, the Washington-based lender said, maintaining a previously agreed target for the budget deficit to remain below 3 percent of gross domestic product.
The international lender is assessing the government's progress on meeting fiscal targets and planned state-asset sales after a political conflict between Prime Minister Victor Ponta and suspended President Traian Basescu undermined investor confidence, pushing the country's currency to record lows and boosting borrowing costs.
'Significant Risk'
"The overlap of the political uncertainties with increased market stress poses significant risk to the economy," de Vrijer said. "It is important for the government to keep strict spending discipline and not have additional spending before elections."
For the IMF's board to approve disbursing of the loan tranche, Ponta's government must cut overdue debt owed by local authorities, increase gas prices and offer for sale by September a 15 percent stake in Transgaz SA, the country's natural-gas grid operator and a majority holding in chemical company Oltchim SA, de Vrijer said.
The IMF urged Ponta's government to impose "discipline" on spending policy by local authorities before parliamentary polls in November or December after some of the state's arrears started to increase.
De Vrijer said on Aug. 7 that he was a "little bit worried" about the impact the political turmoil was having on the economy, which rebounded in the second quarter and posted an annual growth of 1.2 percent, after declining in the previous two quarters.
Ponta's government, the country's third this year, pledged to comply with the terms of the precautionary loan agreement with the IMF and the European Union. It arranged an additional 1 billion euros from the World Bank this year, though it hasn't yet drawn any money.
The government secured the amounts it needs to restore public wages to the level before a 25 percent cut in 2010, Finance Minister Florin Georgescu said on Aug. 2. Georgescu also said the Cabinet predicts economic growth will reach 1.2 percent this year.
A new joint mission of the IMF and the EU will return to the country "soon after parliamentary elections" when the details of the 2013 budget will be outlined, de Vrijer said.

It's established that Nebari have more acute hearing than humans in this episode.
According to Chiana, the Nebari's weapon scientists once poked a hole into another dimension, but eventually lost control of the experiment, decimating the entire solar system, including four populated planets.
Zhaan goes back to wearing her priestly vestments during this episode because she realizes that while she has forsaken the practice of her religion she hasn't given it up in her soul.
The parallel Moyas are supposed to exist in the base elements of light and sound, but the base colors of light are red, blue, and green not red, blue and yellow.
Chiana: Are you sure about this?
Crichton: Just go up!
Chiana: What if the creature's waiting?
Crichton: Then piss it off!
Chiana: How?
Crichton: Pretend it's me!
Crichton: I've got to find a way out of here. It's hard, you have to listen for a weird, strange noise, something out of the ordinary.
Rygel: Hmmm, weird noise... does my stomach count?
Crichton: You'll be happy to know we have a plan.
Chiana: I'll be happier to know if it works.
Rygel: Reverse? T'chah! No Dominar from the House of Rygel ever travels in reverse!
Crichton: Well, turn around. Pretend you're going forward.
Rygel: (as they prepare to Starburst out of the rift) Shall I disrobe so it's memorable?
Zhaan: My dear, I've kicked more ass than you've sat on.
Crichton: You did NOT say that!
D'Argo: I did! I was very shameless in my youth.
Crichton: And that worked?
D'Argo: Of course not! The girl screamed and I was almost arrested.
Rygel: (singing) 'Oh, there is no expanse of the mind the Will cannot traverse; Or physically, the distance laid across the Universe. There's blessings many in the stars, save one lamented curse; That Sixteenth Rygel, glory me, must travel in reverse!' (speaking normally) There's a little dance that goes with that, but I can't do them both at the same time! (he and Chiana laugh hysterically)
Crichton: It's gonna be harder to doubt you in the future.
Aeryn: Well, I apologize for my strengths.
Aeryn: Why did you not shoot at that thing?
Crichton: I don't know.
Aeryn: Brilliant instinct, Crichton.
Pilot: Starburst is technically the seam between space-time dimensions. Moya's power cells allow us access, and we simply ride out the energy stream, at random.
Chiana: Pushed out at random?!
Zhaan: Not now, Chiana.
Chiana: What do you mean, not now?! We go into this star-lurch thing and we don't even know where we're going?!
Pilot: At the next appropriate moment, you're welcome to leave...
Crichton: I gotta get outta here before I end up like you!
Rygel: What? Handsome with a great sexual prowess?
Crichton: Rygel is on Tier Eight, you'll have to find him on foot.
Chiana: Me? Get frelled!
Crichton: Listen, Sunshine, you wanna be part of this crew?
Chiana: On the good days!
Crichton: This IS one of the good days.
Zhaan: Rygel, what do you think?
Rygel: Well, Moya has been, for as long as I can remember, our protector, our home, our companion, and our friend.
Crichton: Amen.
Rygel: However, as relationships grow, they also change. Do you think we can trade her for a faster vessel?
Crichton: Ugh! Aww, salmonella, what is that?
Rygel: That's kroll-dar, a delicacy--even for pagans.
Crichton: Yeah? Well how long was it under your butt getting delicate?
Crichton: I thought you were Junior Miss Tough-Chick of the Universe.
Chiana: Yeah, when I can kiss or kick or cry my way out of it. This is way way way way different.
Chiana: You got it wrong, four-arms.
Pilot: Your inability to locate them does not negate the fact that they are there.
The working title for this episode was "The Fifth Reality"
International Airdates:
-This episode aired in Canada on January 19, 2000 on YTV.
-This episode aired in the UK on April 10, 2000 on BBC-2.
-This episode aired in Australia on December 16, 2000 on Nine.
This episode was one of the hardest episodes to produce; hence it's placing near the end of the season, because of the difficulty in conceptualizing it. It was difficult for everyone to grasp exactly what the creature and multiple dimensions would look like.
"Through the Looking Glass" was originally pitched by David Kemper as an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, in which the Enterprise comes across a derelict ship, which an away team finds empty, but there's actually a creature on board that leaves slime on the walls and has taken over the ship. It gets larger, and so it has to move on to the Enterprise. Of course, the idea went through many re-writes before becoming the episode you see here.
Crichton: Salmonella...what the hell is that?
Salmonella is a variety of food poisoning.
Crichton: You ready Pip?
Chiana: Aah... 'Pip' means?
Crichton: My favorite traveling companion.
A reference to Adam Warlock's companion from the Marvel universe, Pip the Troll.
Crichton: Still auditioning for Star Search, I see.
Star Search was a competitive talent search tv show from 1983 to 1995 hosted by Ed McMahon, which included stand-up comedy as one of its categories.
The title "Through the Looking Glass" is a reference to the 1871 sequel to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which was called Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There.

Developers' Favorite: RText in Version 1.0.0
The Java, cross-platform RText editor has achieved version 1.0.0. It recognizes numerous programming languages and otherwise preserves most of its usual features.
The first stable version of the RText Java editor is now available as version 1.0.0. The program provides syntax highlighting, does content auto-detection for filenames without extensions, processes multiple documents simultaneously and knows all the popular programming and scripting languages. Among them are C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, XML, HTML, PHP, Lisp and perl, but also Lua, Assembler, Groovy and Fortran.
RText resolves parentheses, records and plays macros, marks vital places in the code with bookmarks, recognizes shortcuts for code stubs, allows code shifting per drag-and-drop and supports various encodings.
New in version 1.0.0 is integrated syntax detection and highlighting support for Delphi, Scala and BBCode. The editor now also resolves ending tags in XML and file selection is available via breadcrumbs. Finally, bugs were resolved and the graphical interface was updated.
The new RText is under GPL, with optimum download from Sourceforge. After unpacking the software, start it using java -jar RText.jar, which requires Java.

Ecopetrol Record Bond Sale Sparks Colombia TES Selloff
Ecopetrol SA's record local bond sale sparked the biggest slump in Colombian bonds in two years as investors pared government debt holdings to free up cash for the state-run oil company's offering.
Colombia's peso-denominated debt lost 2 percent in November, double the 1 percent decline in emerging-market local government debt, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co's GBI-EM Broad Index. The selloff, the worst since a 3.3 percent slide in October 2008, breaks an eight-month rally that drove yields on the government's benchmark bonds due in 2020, known as TES, to a record low of 6.97 percent on Nov. 8.
Ecopetrol's sale today of 1 trillion pesos ($514 million) of inflation-linked bonds lured investors seeking higher-yielding alternatives to government debt as the economy picks up, said Felipe Gaviria, chief investment officer at ING Pensiones y Cesantias. Ecopetrol's seven-year debt yielded 330 basis points above inflation. Government bonds of similar maturity, known as TES-UVR, yield 315 basis points above inflation.
"Corporate bonds have become competition" for government debt, Gaviria, said in a telephone interview from Bogota before the debt sale results were announced. "We've had a large amount of corporate debt sales in a short period. If you want to buy corporate bonds, you have little choice but to sell TES."
Debt Yields
Ecopetrol, based in Bogota, sold five-year securities to yield 2.8 percentage points above inflation, Chief Executive Officer Javier Gutierrez told reporters today in Bogota. The oil producer also sold 10- and 30-year debt to yield 3.94 and 4.9 percentage points above inflation, respectively, he said. Investor demand for the securities totaled 3.01 trillion pesos.
The offering will help push Colombian corporate debt sales this year to 13.1 trillion pesos, almost matching last year's record 13.4 trillion pesos, according to Bogota-based Alianza Valores.
Yields on the government's fixed-rate bonds due in 2020 rose 59 basis points, or 0.59 percentage point, in November to 7.59 percent after declining 204 basis points over the previous eight months as the central bank cut the benchmark lending rate to a record 3 percent to bolster growth. The bonds' price fell 4.84 centavos in the month to 122.652 centavos per peso.
The yield fell nine basis points today to 7.50 percent at 2:36 p.m. New York time. The Colombian peso rose 0.6 percent to 1,932.50 per U.S. dollar from 1,944.15 yesterday.
Grupo Aval Sale
Fixed-rate government securities have also underperformed on speculation heavier-than-normal rains in the South American country will fuel inflation by damaging crops and driving up food prices. Economists forecast annual inflation quickened to a 13-month high of 2.5 percent in November, according to the median estimate of 13 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Finance Minister Juan Carlos Echeverry said as recently as Nov. 19 that he expects annual inflation to end this year close to 2 percent and hold at that level in 2011. Consumer prices rose 2.3 percent in the 12 months through October, within the central bank's target of 2 percent to 4 percent.
Colombian government bonds also fell last month as concern the sovereign debt crisis is spreading in Europe eroded demand for emerging-market debt.
Correval SA and Valores Bancolombia SA managed the Ecopetrol sale. The 1 trillion pesos sold surpasses the previous Colombian record of 750 billion pesos by Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores SA, the nation's biggest financial holding company, in December 2009.
Investment Plan
Ecopetrol is turning to the local debt market for the first time since 1998 to help finance record investment amid rising oil demand in China, Gutierrez said in an interview in New York last month.
Ecopetrol plans to invest more than $80 billion through 2020 to finance exploration projects in Colombia and expansion in neighboring Peru and Brazil. The company is seeking to boost output to 1 million barrels a day by 2015 from 632,000 barrels a day in the third quarter.
Expectations of rising crude prices as well as Ecopetrol's plan to raise production make the bonds attractive, said Daniel Lozano, an analyst at Medellin-based brokerage Serfinco SA.
Moody's Investors Service rates Ecopetrol Baa2, the second-lowest investment grade rating. Standard & Poor's rates Ecopetrol BB+, one level below investment grade. Both Moody's and S&P rate Colombia's foreign debt one level below investment grade with a positive outlook.
'Not Much Upside'
More than 60 percent of the corporate bond sales this year are from companies in the financial industry, according to Lozano. Banks will benefit from the expanding economy as demand for loans rises, Lozano said. He predicts the economy will grow 4.4 percent this year after expanding 0.8 percent last year.
Banco de Occidente SA issued 360 billion pesos of securities last week, including five-year debt to yield 3.15 percentage points above inflation, while Banco Davivienda SA, Colombia's third-biggest bank, sold 500 billion pesos of bonds in October including five-year bonds to yield 3.14 percentage points above inflation.
ING's Gaviria said the pension fund, the country's fifth biggest, has sold some TES to "make room" for the Ecopetrol sale and planned on buying the securities if prices were attractive. Gaviria's pension funds managed 11.3 trillion pesos as of August, including 3.9 trillion pesos of TES bonds, according to the most recent data published by the financial regulator.
"There's not much upside on TES," Gaviria said. "You get real returns, and inflation is apparently under control, but that's about it."

DALLAS (AP) - The Dallas Mavericks signed forward Dirk Nowitzki to a maximum contract extension worth roughly $90 million over six years.
Mavs owner Mark Cuban announced the deal, which had been all but done for weeks, to fans in an on-court speech prior to the Mavericks' 113-104 exhibition victory over the Orlando Tuesday night.
"It's a great thing," Nowitzki said after getting 14 points and six rebounds while playing through foul trouble. "I'm happy to get it out of the way before the season starts."
The contract, which kicks in after this season, had been close to being finished for so long that the team put in its preseason media guide that it was completed Oct. 1. The primary holdup was a medical problem that prevented Nowitzki's agent from traveling to Dallas from Germany.
Nowitzki said he was willing to give up becoming a free agent after this season because he's so happy with the Mavericks. In July, Michael Finley signed a seven-year deal, so the pair are slated to be teammates through 2007-08.
"I love it here in Dallas - the fans, the organization, everything," Nowitzki said. "There's no question I wanted to stay here. That's why I did it now."
Nowitzki is coming off a breakout season in which he led the Mavs in scoring (21.8 points) and rebounding (9.2), while helping them win 53 games and reach the second round of the playoffs. It was Dallas' best season in 12 years.
Nowitzki showed his toughness by playing through a lost tooth in one playoff game and displayed his ability to take over a game by scoring 42 points and grabbing 18 rebounds in another. He led the team in scoring and rebounding again in the postseason.
The 7-foot, 245-pound forward is versatile enough to play anywhere from small forward to center. He, Finley and Steve Nash are billed as the team's Big Three because so much of the Mavericks' success hinges on them.
"Dirk started his NBA career as an unknown," coach-general manager Don Nelson said. "In the last three seasons, he has developed into one of the finest players in the NBA."

I would like to thank Bob Demaura for letting me blog at NHInsider.com. You can't read any of my stuff there at the moment as it was all archived years ago. Maybe we'll get that unearthed sometime soon; I've linked to plenty of it and fixing those links would be useful.
Thanks to Skip Murphy for letting me blog at GraniteGrok.com (where I still do most of my writing).
I recentyl started writing for the Franklin Center's WatchdogArena so please check me out there.

This was my first visit to SolVista - it's been a great experience. Fresh powder both days I was in town, and since it was the middle of the week, the runs were all to myself. No lift lines whatsoever! It's the same distance from Denver as Vail/Breckenridge and the pricing is much lower. Also, there seem to be less people at SolVista. While I didn't try it - their terrain park looked really nice. If you snowboard, there are a few flat spots in some of the runs but they are completely passable if you know where they are and keep your speed up.
The staff on site aren't readily available, and it's difficult to tell who works at the resort and who does not. The few staff members I did have contact with outside of the lodge were very short with me. Not rude, just not great at making me feel welcome. The staff inside the lodge are helpful and friendly, though. Also, the lodge is incredibly small - they only have about 60-70 lockers of all the same size. The restaurant inside the lodge is open all day for breakfast lunch and dinner - so it's nice to go grab something before and after a day on the slopes.

Firefighters in the upper North Island have been busy
battling several large scrub fires today.
Northern communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said a
large peat and scrub fire, measuring about 3000 square
metres, in Glenview in the Waipa district had been contained
this afternoon.
"It was burning in a paddock and not near anything," he said.
Further north, a slightly smaller scrub fire measuring about
1000 square metres, in Mahurangi had been brought under
control by several water tankers.
Initially, firefighters had feared for a nearby rest home,
however the blaze was contained before it threatened the
property, Mr Phillips said.
In Komata in the Hauraki district, a helicopter was brought
in with a monsoon bucket to help extinguish about 2 acres of
scrub which had caught fire after a power line came down.
The fire had been brought under control and rural fire
officers were monitoring the situation, Mr Phillips said.

|[jira] Created: (HARMONY-409) native-src/linux.IA32/auth/authnix.c isn't really valid C code

native-src/linux.IA32/auth/authnix.c isn't really valid C code -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HARMONY-409 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-409 Project: Harmony Type: Improvement Components: Classlib Reporter: Mark Hindess Priority: Trivial Attachments: really.change.authnix.to.c.not.cpp.diff Conversion of authnix.cpp to authnix.c was rather limited - for which I take a significant amount of blame. For instance, it includes declarations mixed with code. It should be refactored to make it more portable. I will attach a patch shortly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
