Interesting times. Challenging times. Confusing times. The electricity industry and its regulators are now inextricably meshed in a tangle of interconnected reforms. With 50 states as laboratories, the process is accelerating. There is no going back. But which way is forward?
The old model of a closed system of vertically integrated electric utilities offering bundled service has been discarded in theory, and is being dismantled in practice. Consensus on a new model has not yet emerged. Parallel developments in FERC proceedings, state inquiries, and industry restructuring are lurching forward without recognizing fully how each part affects the others. There is a need for a greater sense of urgency here: Fundamental connections among several pieces of the overall puzzle must be recognized soon and incorporated in the reforms if the promise of open competition is to be realized, and the economic gains achieved.
The key lies in understanding the role of transmission and the requirements for efficient competition. The principal challenge today falls to the industry, and especially to the existing utilities. The FERC has broken through many barriers in its recent Notice of Inquiry (NOI) on alternative pooling institutions1 and its Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) on stranded assets and transmission access.2 The various notices ask many questions and even suggest a few default answers. The FERC goes far (em perhaps as far as the FERC can go by itself (em but not far enough. The default proposals fall short of meeting the requirements for an open, efficient, competitive electricity market in a network.
Breakthrough or Breakdown?
Many utilities were so pleased with the FERC principles on stranded assets that they may have stopped reading the rest of the "Mega-NOPR" on transmission access. However, the industry would be wise to read the treatise with some care. There is a case to be made that the FERC process and the default proposals for transmission access have inadvertently headed down the wrong track. Having crafted an important breakthrough on the stranded asset principles, the FERC may have presented us with a work in progress on transmission access. If not stopped and redirected, this train may be headed toward a breakdown.
The key fault is not something that is there but something that is missing, something implicit that should be made explicit. The key implicit assumption underlying the proposal is that the nonprice terms and conditions for transmission access and service can be defined independently of the institutional structure and market pricing provisions. In other words, that transmission is like any other product or service. After all, we can define the characteristics of a bushel of wheat and its transport between locations without needing to define simultaneously the organization of the wheat market. We know a bushel of wheat when we see it, and just how many bushels are in a carload; so too with electricity and transmission (em at least that is the assumption.
This implicit assumption is found throughout the Mega-NOPR. Most striking is the companion inquiry into Real-time Information Networks (RIN),3 which imposes an accelerated schedule requiring comments to be filed 60

1. How the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses is stuctured, how it operates, and how it exercises control over its members. 2. What Jehovah's Witnesses believe, why, and who determines doctrine.
It is a waste of time to argue with Jehovah's Witnesses or to present lists of scriptural proofs to show where they are in error. Jehovah's Witnesses listen only the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" and immediately accept changes that come through the pages of The Watchtower magazine.
I survived 1975. For 32 years, from 1968 to 2000, I embraced and promoted everything coming through Jehovah's sole channel of communication, the "Faithful and Discreet Slave." I accepted doctrinal changes as "new light", meat in due season, from the Slave Class.
Was an elder the last 13 years, WT Study Conductor, Congregation Secretary, Book Study Conductor, and occasional Pioneer. Never "irregular" or "inactive" as the labels go. I have not been reproved or disfellowshipped. I no longer attend meetings or practice the religion. I have not started smoking, drinking, gambling, using drugs, or had any sort of emotional breakdown. How silly.
I am not a servant of the "Faithful and Discreet Slave", the WTBTS, or any other man-made organization. I hope to explain, not defend, the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. I believe in universal truths such as kindness, humility, charity, and love. I do not believe that God selected a special group, the Jews or CT Russell followers for example, to receive a special message or blessing. I do not believe that one religion has it all right and therfore other religions are wrong. I believe it is a delusion for one group of humans to claim that "God chose us and therefore God did not choose you." I consider spirituality to be a personal endeavor that each person must discover for themselves.

2016 Internet Security Threat Report
The 2016 Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR) provides an overview and analysis of the year in global threat activity.
The 2016 Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR) provides an overview and analysis of the year in global threat activity.
In 2015, the number of zero-day vulnerabilities discovered more than doubled to 54, a 125 percent increase from the year before. Or put another way, a new zero-day vulnerability was found every week (on average) in 2015. Given the value of these vulnerabilities, it's not surprising that a market has evolved to meet demand.
In 2015, we saw a record-setting total of nine mega-breaches, and the reported number of exposed identities jumped to 429 million. But this number hides a bigger story. In 2015, more companies chose not to reveal the full extent of their data breaches. A conservative estimate of unreported breaches pushes the number of records lost to more than half a billion.
There were over one million web attacks against people each day in 2015. Cybercriminals continue to take advantage of vulnerabilities in legitimate websites to infect users, because website administrators fail to secure their websites. Nearly 75 percent of all legitimate websites have unpatched vulnerabilities, putting us all at risk.
In 2015, large businesses targeted for attack once was most likely to be targeted again at least three more times throughout the year. All businesses of all sizes are potentially vulnerable to targeted attacks. In fact, spear-phishing campaigns targeting employees increased 55 percent in 2015. No business is without risk.
An extremely profitable type of attack, ransomware will continue to ensnare PC users and expand to any network-connected device that can be held hostage for a profit. In 2015, ransomware found new targets in smart phones, Mac, and Linux systems. Symantec even demonstrated proof-of-concept attacks against smart watches and televisions in 2015.
Fake technical support scams have evolved from cold-calling unsuspecting victims to the attacker fooling victims into calling them directly. Attackers trick people with pop-up error alerts, thus steering the victim to an 800 number where a "tech support rep" attempts to sell the victim worthless services. In 2015, Symantec blocked 100 million of these attacks.
View or share graphics that highlight some of the key findings from this year's report.
Cyber attacks are increasing in number and sophistication. Today's threats differ from those encountered a month ago. What can you do to improve your security posture?

Ham is the centerpiece of many holiday meals. While it isn't a very high calorie meal choice, there are some ham calorie and nutrition facts that dieters and healthy eaters may want to consider before sit down for the holiday dinner.

Ham Nutrition Facts

Serving Size 1 slice (1 ounce or 28.4 g)

Per Serving	% Daily Value*

Calories 58

Calories from Fat 33

Total Fat 3.7g	5%

Saturated Fat 1.3g	6%

Polyunsaturated Fat 0.4%

Monounsaturated Fat 1.7g

Cholesterol 15mg	5%

Sodium 393mg	16%

Protein 6g

Vitamin A 0% · Vitamin C 0%

Calcium 0% · Iron 1%

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

The calorie count of ham can vary depending on the brand and type that you buy. Your serving size will also make a big difference.

A single serving of holiday ham is approximately 3 ounces or 84 grams. There are 130 calories in a bone-in, spiral sliced, honey glazed ham that you often see on the holiday table. You'll also get 4 grams of fat per serving, 5 grams of carbohydrate and 1,230 milligrams of sodium.

If you make a ham sandwich, you might choose ham slices from the deli. One slice of ham luncheon meat provides 37 calories, 5 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbohydrate, 1 gram of fat, and 368 milligrams of sodium. Most people use more than a single slice of ham when they build a sandwich, be sure to multiply these numbers by the number of slices you use to get your total ham calories and nutrition.

A single serving (one medium slice) of canned ham provides 55 calories, 7 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbohydrate, 3 gram of fat, and 517 milligrams of sodium.

Health Benefits of Ham

Ham is a good source of protein. It is also a very good source of selenium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin B6, B12, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and choline. Depending on the variety and cooking method, ham can also be low in fat.

So does that mean ham is healthy? It's usually not the fat or calorie count of ham, that concerns healthy eaters. Ham contains a high amount of sodium. For people on the popular DASH diet, a single serving contains almost an entire day's allowance of sodium. Even if you are not following a diet for hypertension, too much salt can make you gain water weight.

If you want to cut back on sodium, look for low sodium lunch meats, including lower salt ham.

Common Questions About Ham

What is gammon? Is gammon the same as ham?
Gammon is the hind leg of the pig. Ham is also from the hind leg of the pig, but gammon is sold raw, has been cured, and must be cooked before eating. Ham is sold cooked and ready to eat. Gammon nutrition is similar to ham nutrition. There are about 123 calories in a single serving of gammon, 5 grams of fat, 18 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbohydrate and 1023 milligrams of sodium.

What is prosciutto? Is it more healthy than ham?
Prosciutto is Italian ham that is dry-cured. Most people who enjoy prosciutto eat it very thinly sliced so you are likely to consume fewer calories with this ham variation. One slice of prosciutto only provides 18 calories.

Choosing and Storing Ham

When you are buying a ham for the holidays, figure that each person will eat one-half pound or less. Then buy with the bone-in for a more flavorful taste or boneless for convenience and easier slicing.

Ham leftovers should be kept in the refrigerator. Usually, ham is good for 5-8 days. Ham can be frozen for up to four weeks.

Healthier Ways to Prepare Ham

To make the healthiest ham meal, try to pair the meat with foods that are lower in salt. They will help to balance out the high sodium content of the ham. Side dishes like baked sweet potatoes, artichokes, carrots, green beans or asparagus work well.

Having a ham sandwich? Choose a whole wheat bread that is lower in salt and high in fiber. Then add crunchy low salt veggies to round out the meal. Sliced radishes or celery are perfect. You can also choose cucumber, cauliflower or cherry tomatoes.

Ready to incorporate in Louisiana this week in our 50 states of incorporation series? This southern gem is most widely known for its delicious comfort food, swinging jazz scene and vibrant colors (as seen in New Orleans), and for surviving hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The population of Louisiana comes in at about 4,614,500, and the capital is Baton Rouge.
Though the state comes in at number 40 on the Forbes "Best States for Business" list, the state office is generally very supportive of small businesses looking to incorporate in Louisiana. Any small business owner is welcome and encouraged to give the state a call with questions they might have, and their state website has also proved to be quite helpful with a checklist available to small business owners to help expedite the process. There are even incentive programs implemented for business owners in the research and development, manufacturing, and motion picture fields. Seafood and tourism are also two big industries that do well in Louisiana, the former of which features 90% of the crawfish eaten around the world coming straight from Louisiana. And as far as tourism goes, Bourbon Street, anyone?

text: I got this PA fall turkey on Nov 6. As you can see by the photo there is no tail on this hen. That is cause after I shot her she took off running and the chase was on. I caught up to her under a down tree and as I reached to grab her she took off again, I got her a hold of her tail and all the feathers came out. A few feet later I got her in a small ravine. So this is the short version of the tail of my hunt. Bob

I can not tell you how thrilled I am. I came home from work tonight and guess what was on my doorstep... yep, my new Danners. I have no idea how you and Danner pulled it off, but the box had stamped right on it, "MUST SHIP TODAY." I laced them up and I couldn't be more excited. Now, my hunting trip will work out. If your job is anything like mine, I'm sure you get tons of emails and try not to read more than you have to, but I would like to take a second and tell you what happened. I fell in love with Danner boots about seven years ago and have been attached to my Danner Canadians ever since. They're waterproof, warm, comfortable, and more than anything, indestructible. I had to move this summer with my job. I thought until this week that I knew exactly where my boots were, but when I started preparing for my trip I found out that they weren't where I thought. I searched high and low, but no boots. So, I decided that if I had to buy new boots, I was going to upgrade to the Trophy. I tried at LEAST 20 places before I spoke to you (the nature of the Internet), and no one had them, nor could they guarantee me that I would have them by the end of the week. I work for the second largest retailer in the US and I hope day in and day out that my folks take care of customers the way you took care of me. You didn't even know this story, but you went way beyond "website service" and made sure I had solutions. I was stressing to say the least, and I admit that I was concerned that you were making me a promise that you really couldn't control. Since you didn't have them in stock, Danner was on the hook and you were several states away. In the end, your promise of Friday delivery was exceeded by two days and, by my reckoning, from the time I spoke with you I received my boots from Portland to Charlotte in roughly 20 hours. That's CRAZY customer service. If you give me the email address of your boss, I would be happy to send this to him or her on your behalf. Otherwise, please have a great weekend. I'll send anyone I know to your website."

Alternate name: Common Snipe
Family: Scolopacidae, Sandpipers view all from this family
Description ALL BIRDS Have brown upperparts overall and pale underparts, dark bars on flanks and unmarked on center of belly. Note beautiful pattern on back and wing feathers, pale margins forming white stripes, and bold dark and white stripes on head. In flight, note the strongly barred underwing.
Dimensions Length: 10 1/2" (27 cm)
Habitat Common wetland species, with breeding range extending across most of northern North America. Most breeding birds move south in winter when it becomes common across southern half of continent; range extends through Central America.
Observation Tips Most conspicuous when displaying in spring. In winter, easy to overlook until flushed, because it is well camouflaged among dead wetland plants. Subject to considerable hunting pressure during winter months.
Range Eastern Canada, Northwest, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Alaska, California, Great Lakes, New England, Plains, Rocky Mountains, Western Canada, Texas, Southeast, Southwest
Voice Utters a sneezing ske-erch call in alarm. Bleating, whistlelike sound is heard as outer tail feathers vibrate in display flight on breeding grounds.
Discussion Plump-bodied shorebird with relatively short, yellowish green legs and a long, pale-based bill. This is used to probe soft ground in sewing machinelike manner; the mandible tips are extremely sensitive and able to detect invertebrate prey. Plumage provides extremely good camouflage in favored marshy habitats, blending in well with tangled dead stems of wetland plants. Flight is rapid and zigzagging when flushed. Sometimes seen in flocks outside breeding season in places where feeding is good. Formerly treated as conspecific with Eurasian Common Snipe G. gallinago, but now considered to be a separate species. Sexes are similar.

German artist Trockel to discuss work
Posted November 19, 2008; 05:22 p.m.
Internationally acclaimed German artist Rosemarie Trockel will discuss her work in a roundtable with Princeton art experts at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Trockel's works in drawing, sculpture, video and other media have been the subject of exhibitions in Paris, London, Frankfurt and New York. She is a professor of sculpture at the German art academy Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Joining Trockel in the discussion will be: Kelly Baum, the Locks Curatorial Fellow for Contemporary Art in the Princeton University Art Museum; Brigid Doherty, an associate professor of German and art and archaeology; Hal Foster, the Townsend Martin, Class of 1917, Professor of Art and Archaeology; Megan Heuer, a graduate student in art and archaeology; Thomas Levin, an associate professor of German; and Susan Stewart, the Annan Professor of English.
A screening of Trockel's video works will follow at 7:30 p.m. in 100 Jones Hall.
Trockel is a short-term visiting fellow of the Council of the Humanities this month, hosted by the Department of German. This event is sponsored by both departments.

Saw Star Trek: Into Darkness at the midnight premiere. Overall, I enjoyed it but was very disappointed by one major aspect of the film, however I can't talk about that without spoilers. The performances and chemistry between the actors saved the movie for me.
Also watched Life of Pi last night on DVD. Totally not the movie I was expecting it to be, but still really good and an absolutely beautiful film to look at. Sure I could tell that the tiger was computer-generated, but after a certain point in the movie I simply stopped caring about that because I was so completely engrossed in the story.

Year of Graduation: 2002
Major: Communication
Please give a brief description of your current position and what it entails?
I'm a product planner at Capstone Publishing which, in brief, means I plan our publishing list. It's not an easy job to condense into a short paragraph, but my work involves market research and sales analysis, among other things. Once our list is final, I write guidelines to communicate the vision for the books and work with the production teams to implement that vision.
What path did you follow to arrive at your current job?
I started out as an editor in a professional-type setting. It was a decent job for a recent college graduate, but nothing I could hang my hat on. I decided I wanted to be in publishing-book publishing to be specific. After many many months of searching for a job, I landed a position editing textbooks for struggling readers. I obtained my current job out of necessity: the publisher I worked for decided to close its Minnesota office. Upon receiving the news, I networked like crazy and landed my job at Capstone.
What advice/suggestions would you have for students who might be interested in your career?
Two things: read voraciously (not just books, but also book reviews, blogs, industry news, etc.) and network, network, network!
What skills are important in your field?
Probably the most important would have to be keeping a pulse on what's going on around you and what's going on in the world. I'm not even necessarily talking about current events, but more trends in books, TV, movies, etc.
What are the most challenging and satisfying parts of your job?
Seeing the books I concepted in print, and reading others' reviews of the books (especially if they garner awards or starred reviews!).
What activities/experiences were helpful at CSB/SJU (and elsewhere) in preparation for your current career?
I'd have to say the critical thinking skills as well as the broad knowledge from CSB/SJU's liberal arts education have proven to be the most valuable to me in the "real" world.

According to some people — including at least one sitting head of state — East Boston's Gene Sharp is a dangerous dude, a political demolition man capable of destroying rulers and regimes. When Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez faced street protests earlier this year, he accused the Albert Einstein Institution (AEI), which Sharp founded in 1983, of leading an "imperialist conspiracy" to overthrow him. To make his case, Chávez cited a 2005 article by French journalist and anti-imperialism crusader Thierry Meyssan that cast Sharp as a shill for NATO and the CIA. And when mass demonstrations destabilized the military junta that rules Myanmar (Burma) a few weeks ago, a piece in the Asia Times Online described Sharp as the "concert-master of the tactics of Saffron monk-led nonviolence." It wasn't a compliment: the Saffron Revolution, the author charged, was really a crafty US attempt to control the Strait of Malacca.
It's difficult, though, to square these claims of nefarious influence with the material facts of Sharp's existence. If Sharp really was an imperialist mastermind, for example, you'd expect the AEI to have nicer digs: a gleaming space downtown, maybe, or a tweedy little office in Cambridge. But after starting out in Harvard Square, and then moving to what Sharp calls the "slummy end of Newbury Street," the AEI now operates out of two cluttered rooms in Sharp's row house near gritty Maverick Square. You'd also expect Sharp to be surrounded by a bevy of bustling junior imperialists; instead, he shares his space with one co-worker and an enormous Great Dane. In addition, Sharp himself just doesn't look or act the part of a covert American empire-builder: at 79 years old, he seems too old, too frail, too soft-spoken.
This, then, is the conundrum of Gene Sharp: if he's as powerful as he's supposed to be, why is he whiling away in relative obscurity? And if he isn't, why are so many people so afraid of him?
Pens and swords
Let's start with question number two. The answer is actually pretty simple: run down the list of recent revolutions in the world, successful or otherwise, and Sharp's name will probably pop up. In Serbia, members of the opposition group Otpor circulated translations of Sharp's best-known work — From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation — shortly before overthrowing Slobodan Milošević in 2000. After Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution, a leader of the student opposition said that that same book had served as a "bible." Sharp personally consulted with the leaders of the Baltic republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia as those countries moved to secede from the Soviet Union. He also left China's Tiananmen Square just before the government's crackdown on protesters in 1989, made a surreptitious visit to the Myanmar (Burma) border in 1996 to consult with opponents of the regime, and held a meeting in Boston for Venezuelan critics of Chávez in 2004.
The AEI, meanwhile, is determined to find the biggest possible audience for Sharp's theories of nonviolent struggle. A bookshelf in his home office is packed with translations of his own work; the AEI's Web site features downloadable translations of Sharp's oeuvre in (among other languages) Arabic, Farsi, Khmer, Russian, Tibetan, and Vietnamese.

"The scope of what needs to be done is vast. Diabetes management is complex. While the first step is getting access to insulin, it needs to be followed up with education on managing diabetes, extending sustained care and also improving the quality of care. This takes both time and ongoing resources, so donations such as yours are crucial to the success and longevity of the Life for a Child Programme. Thank you for your contribution."
Dr Graham Ogle, LFAC General Manager
By donating just $1 a day to the IDF Life for a Child (LFAC) Programme, you can provide a child with:
- Regular insulin
- Quality blood glucose monitoring equipment (meter, strips, lancets)
- Essential clinical care

Serves 4
The crowd-pleasing filling of this savory tart is a mix of summer ratatouille-ish vegetables, though it doesn't turn out stewlike, just pleasantly moist. It's super-easy to make but does need 45 minutes or so in the oven. The dough recipe makes 2 disks, enough for two tarts; you can freeze the second disk for 3 to 4 weeks.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Pulse briefly to combine. Add the butter. Pulse quickly about twenty times, or until the butter particles are quite small (like tiny pebbles). With the motor running, add the ice water in a steady stream. (This will take about 10 seconds.) Stop the motor. Then pulse quickly six or eight times, just until the mixture begins to leave the sides of the bowl and clump together. The mixture wlil still be somewhat loose and crumbly. That's okay; you will bring the dough together in the next step.
Turn the mixture out into a big mixing bowl and knead it briefly against the sides of the bowl to finish bringing it together as a dough. Once you have incorporated all the crumbs, knead once or twice to smooth it out just a bit. While you don't want to overhandle the dough, you also don't want to be afraid to handle it as much as you need to in order to bring all the bits of the dough together, as it will ultimately be easier to roll out.
Divide the dough in half. If you have a scale, you can weigh the dough pieces to make sure they're of equal or close-to-equal weight. They should each weigh about 9-1/2 oz.
Shape each piece into a disk about 1 inch thick (and about 4 inches across). Again, don't be afraid to handle the disk just enough to smooth out the cracks and make a tidy disk. Dust lightly with flour, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
Remove one disk of dough from the fridge 45 minutes before
rolling it (see leftovers note below about storing the extra disk of dough). Make the filling while the dough comes to room
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Position a rack in the center of
the oven. In a 13-by-9-inch heatproof glass baking dish (or
two smaller shallow baking dishes with a total volume of about 3
quarts), combine the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, eggplant,
zucchini, red onion, olive oil, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Toss gently but
thoroughly and spread in a single layer. Roast until the veggies have
shrunk and caramelized but are still a bit moist, 45 to 55 minutes. Let
cool in the baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
Be sure that one oven rack is still positioned in the center of the oven. Line a large heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Sprinkle your work surface lightly with flour and spread it around with your hand. Put the disk of dough in front of you and lightly tap it with the rolling pin to start softening and spreading it. Gently roll it out, lifting and giving the disk a quarter-turn after each roll, until you have a roughly 12-inch round. Try not to roll your pin over the edges of the dough, as that will tend to make the edges thinner than the center. (If your edges get very ragged or torn, it's okay to patch them back together or trim them.) If the dough is sticking, lift it up and toss a bit of flour underneath it and/or over it. Roll up or drape the dough over your rolling pin, and unroll or undrape it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle 1 Tbs. of the Parmigiano over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge. Top the Parmigiano with half of the goat cheese, half of the mint, and half of the roasted filling, again leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle with 1 Tbs. of the Parmigiano, and repeat with the remaining goat cheese, mint, and filling. Top with 1 Tbs. of the Parmigiano.
Pleat and fold the edges of the dough up and over the outer edge of the filling all the way around the tart. (You will be folding in that 2-inch border.) You don't have to go crazy making a lot of pleats; folding in a piece of dough about every 2 to 3 inches around the tart will get you the results you want. (You'll have a total of eight to ten pleats.)
Brush the edges of the dough with some of the egg wash (you won't use it all), and sprinkle the remaining 1 Tbs. Parmigiano over the edges as well as the rest of the tart.
Bake until nicely golden all over and crisp and brown on the bottom (check with spatula), 38 to 40 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and use the parchment to slide the tart onto a cutting board. Let cool for another 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
You can freeze the extra disk of dough, wrapped in plastic, for up to 4 weeks. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before using.

Van Voorhis will be at the University of Rhode Island's Center for Biotech and Life Sciences February 28 at 7 pm to deliver a talk — free and open to the public and streamed live at uri.edu/news/urilive — titled "Why Science Isn't Enough: Faith, Reason and the Human Need for Certainty."
We caught up with the professor for a Q&A in advance of his lecture. The interview is edited and condensed.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THE CONFLICTS THAT PERIODICALLY ERUPT BETWEEN FAITH AND SCIENCE? Some of the battle is not as much a battle between faith and science as a battle between people of faith and people of science. To take a hot-button issue like evolution, a lot of the conflict [stems from] the issue of power and control — what should we be teaching our children? People who have kids in public schools [and whose beliefs are] contrary to what the scientists believe want to have some control over what their children learn in school. And so I think there's a lot of conflict, but it's sort of interpersonal conflict. When I look at people who are primarily scientists, they're kind of baffled by this concept because they don't really understand why people don't just sort of accept what we say as scientists.
RESEARCH SUGGESTS MANY IN YOUR PROFESSION ARE ATHEISTS OR AGNOSTICS. Once you get a group of people together all sort of believing one way, it becomes a bit inhospitable for folks who believe a different way. And then, I think, on top of that is a selection bias within some of the faith communities. For example, the evangelical Christian community — there's a stigma attached to working as a scientist. There's an idea that there are certain other professions — like being a minister or being a doctor or being a lawyer who fights for justice — that these are things that Christians should do. And doing something as esoteric as just studying science for the sake of studying science isn't something that glorifies God or contributes to the betterment of humanity.
YOU POSIT A QUESTION IN YOUR UPCOMING LECTURE: "HOW CAN A SCIENTIST WHOSE LIFE'S WORK IS BASED ON EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE BELIEVE IN SOMETHING AS ANTIQUATED AS THE BIBLE?" SO I'LL ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION. The most vocal faction of Biblical scholarship is the literal school — where if you say you believe in the Bible then you must believe in a literal interpretation. I think, in my opinion, the literal interpretation of Scripture really arose as a reaction to science. In other words, science was starting to say, "Oh, Scripture [isn't] all that relevant."
I don't [subscribe] to the literal interpretation of Scripture. The reason, ultimately, that I choose to interpret the beginning of Genesis in the way that I do is in part informed by scientific research that all seems to be pointing to the fact that the earth and the universe are several billion years old.

2013 is going to be a crazy year. Here it is the last day of 2012 and I am already looking forward to taking a vacation in 2014!
I have 5 writing conferences, 2 of which are in New York, and I might add a 6th one in Iowa (that's a big conference by the way - in Iowa of all places).
I may be on a winning political campaign and taking a new job downtown at City Hall.
I may be accepted to my Masters program to complete my licensing as a full social worker counselor helping kidney transplant patients.
I have at least 7 Civil War re-enactments and at least one already paying me for acting in an HBO series.
I have at least 2 rock concerts I'm attending (both The VooDoos / Geoff Tate's Queensryche).
There's Comic Con.
I have a new season with my men's baseball team.
The Padres begin a new season with a lot of home games I will try to make, including the New York Yankees in interleague.
If I actually have time, I will watch Football in the 2013 season (Chargers).
I have 14 or more gunfighter stunt shows I'm performing in / acting in.
I may be able to go on a book tour selling and signing my novels (but this will probably be deferred until 2014 even if I am successful - which I will be sooner than later - it just doesn't happen fast.
I have 4 nineteenth century sailing ship battles I am crewing on, teaching tourists how to sail the old ships in the ocean for brief cruises and cannon battles / pirate stunt shows.
I have that mobster movie about 1930's Hollywood that I want to see. Mobster Squad I think?
There will be a new Star Trek movie at last!
Iron Man 3 I think.
I should go to Universal Studios for the Transformers ride and check out Disney's new Star Tours but don't know if I can afford it in light of all these other things.
I want to go to Chicago and take BobaFrett to the Padres visiting the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
The Padres play the Red Sox in Boston on the 4th of July weekend! I hope I can somehow get there!
Right now I think there are zero Star Wars toys (aside from 2 Jocasta Nu figures) and no SideShow Star Wars that I have any plans or interest in buying.
I will try to find some money for some rare Transformers that I want.
I will try to find some money to build up my toy dioramas that I've dreamed of displaying, and at least get a ladder to hang a lot of my spaceships from the ceiling.
The Walking Dead will continue on TV.
Breaking Bad will wrap up.
Hell on Wheels and Copper will return, as will Justified and Archer and another season of Sons of Anarchy.
Clone Wars can only get better.
More news about the next Star Wars movie will start to come out and I will either be really upset if the Expanded Universe is not continued and improved upon, or I will throw a tantrum even if I like the movie 2 years later.
I think I will get into following college sports (baseball, basketball, and football) at my alma matter if there's time.
I will start writing my 3rd novel.
And I'm sure that's only the start of things to come!
I hope I will learn to enjoy the ride instead of just look forward to 2014 when I might schedule myself some sleep!

Detroit Film Theatre
Friday, January 11, 2013 – Sunday, January 13, 2013
Detroit Film Theatre
(USA/2012—directed by Ben Shapiro)
An acclaimed photographer with the eye of a filmmaker, Gregory Crewdson has created some of the most gorgeously haunting pictures in the history of the medium. His meticulously composed, large-scale images are stunning narratives of small-town American life—moviescapes crystallized into a single frame. While the photographs are staged with crews that rival the size and budget of many feature film productions, Crewdson takes inspiration as much from his own dreams and fantasies as the worlds of Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch (Blue Velvet, specifically), Edward Hopper and Diane Arbus. Crewdson's imagery has also infiltrated the pop culture landscape—including his inimitable Six Feet Under ads and Yo La Tengo album cover. Filmed over a decade with unprecedented access, Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters provides an unparalleled view of the moment of creation of his images. It beautifully bares the artist's process—and it's a film every bit as mesmerizing and startling as the images themselves. (78 min.)
"A delicious eye-opener… an unprecedented look at his long-secret methods – a must-see on the big screen for art lovers." –Ronnie Scheib, Variety
"Critics' Pick! With marvelous discipline, Mr. Shapiro smoothly communicates the group effort required to achieve the perfect shot." –Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
"Great entertainment." –Ela Bittencourt, Slant Magazine
"A smart and well-constructed film that will enthrall Crewdson fans. It may enthrall non-fans even more." –The Boston Globe
"A brilliant new documentary about the work of one of America's greatest living photographers." –Flash Magazine (UK)

...I'd like to share a communication from one of the TPP founders, that pretty much sums up the Tea Party philosophy, and our endeavor to fight for what we have determined is the American way of life we want to have returned to the USA. For those good conservative members of RTF, we welcome you to join in our campaign...both now and after the election.
We recognize the failures of the party we primarily support, and we have no intention of continuing that support 'carte blanche'! There will be guard rails in place we will demand be followed, or as the 2010 and this upcoming election is about to show the nation's Congressional office holders, there are consequences for ones actions.
Most of us think a 3rd party is not the answer at this time, but we MUST get the RINOs out of the 'conservative' party. Liberalism has no more place in our society than socialism, marxism or whatever the Democrats want to label their various factions of leftists. BUT, we first must remove the current regime from power. Without that victory, we won't have any chance of implementing what America needs to survive and get back to the founder's fundamentals. By Obama's own words, you can't help but realize after 4 more years of his oligarchy, conservatism will be almost totally crippled. And the Libertarians will continue to be just a voice in the fog.
Over the last several weeks, I have received emails from some of our supporters who say they think the system is so broken it cannot be fixed and our efforts are futile. They are angry at the Republican nominee who does not fight hard enough for our core values. They are angry at the Republican leadership in the House who are spineless and unable to make any real spending cuts.
At the same time, I have also had emails and conversations with Patriots who say they simply cannot sleep at night because they fret as they lay down that they may not have done everything within their power each day to make the most difference and impact they possibly can leading to Election Day. One Local Coordinator in the Orlando, Florida area mentally checks off all he has done each day to spread the word on our core values and if he fell short one day he knows what he must do different the next day. Another Local Coordinator in Virginia wakes up at 2 am each night and starts thinking about what he needs to do the next day to insure he is teaching everyone he meets what is at stake in November. These men are angry with Republicans as much as the emails from the people who are discouraged. They see our choice in 50 days as a stark contrast and are motivated to fight.
This week as I watched breaking news as our embassies were stormed in the Middle East and then around the world, bomb threats, university evacuations, Congress passing a Continuing Resolution to continue spending and to fund Obamacare for 6 months, the announcement of another quantitative easing that will be indefinite rather than fixed. The problems we face as a country seem overwhelming and often times impossible.
Two weeks ago on our webinar with Local Coordinators, one coordinator said that since the Supreme Court ruling on the Presidents health care law she feels grim determination.Determination.
Dictionary.com defines determination as the act of coming to a decision or of fixing or settling a purpose; the quality of being resolute; firmness of purpose. Synonyms for determination are bravery, backbone, dedication, drive, persistence, and resolution.
As I read the breaking news this week, I am once again reminded of Winston Churchills quote, which I have quoted countless times to our Tea Party Patriots supporters, Never, ever, ever, ever, ever give up. I am also reminded of our Support Team member Keli Carenders favorite quote, again by Sir Winston Churchill,
If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
The election this November is going to determine 2 different futures for our country. President Obama had it right at the DNC Convention when he said this election is, a choice between 2 different paths for America, a choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future. President Obama has all but declared he will be a dictator if re-elected and Congress stands in his way. Those of us in Tea Party Patriots will have seen that and said he is doing it already throughout his first term in presidency. Now he is being so bold that he says it outright in the Time magazine interview:"So my expectation is that there will be some popping of the blister after this election, because it will have been such a stark choice. Where Republicans refuse to cooperate on things that I know are good for the American people, I will continue to look for ways to do it administratively and work around Congress. And a good example of that is, for example, making sure that homeowners around the country can take advantage of these historically low rates and refinance.If we as citizens allow a man who is very clearly saying there are two different choices for America and his way is to implement his agenda with or without Congressional approval, we are giving permission to this behavior.
Theres no reason Congress cant move forward and at almost no cost to the federal government really boost the housing market and our economy. But if Congress wont do it, well keep on looking for ways to get that done without legislation."
Ours is a choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future: one where we adhere to the Constitution, the checks and balances, and maintain the rights of the citizens as ordained by our Creator not by our government or one where we allow a statist government, allow breaches in the rule of law to occur without checks or balances, where freedom will slip away at the cost of security and whatever the government decides we are entitled to have. Simply put the choice is freedom or serfdom.

So they "refreshed" my work computer and they've given me Office 2007 (no choice in the matter). Consequently productivity has dropped considerably. I will not waste time rehashing everyone's complaints about the ribbon, but I now understand what all the fuss is about. The "quick" bar is very limited in scope so you can't recreate the fast toolbars of previous Office versions. For mouse users, everything is about two clicks further away than it used to be. I am amused that there's a roaring trade in commercial add-ons that can allow you to mimic older versions of Office. Minimum price is ~$20. I've not seen anything free.
All I can do each day is to wait until I leave the horror behind (yay Vim!).

Aviation News
Spain Air Traffic Could Double by 2030, Says Airbus
For Spanish airlines, Airbus estimates the number of passenger planes with more than 100 seats will increase from 244 aircraft in 2010 to a total of 441 aircraft in 2030. Of the current fleet, 203 aircraft are expected to be replaced with more eco-efficient types and 197 aircraft are to be bought for growth to, from and within the Spanish market.
"Having a strong and vibrant aviation sector will make a real contribution to the short, medium and long term health of the Spanish economy, providing a real contribution to GDP, jobs and attractiveness for investment through international connectivity," said Rafael Alonso, Executive Vice President of Customer Affairs at Airbus.
The vast majority of the 400 new aircraft, approximately 317 of them, are expected to be narrow-body aircraft which seat up to 250 passengers. About 58 others are expected to be wide-body aircraft, seating between 250 and 400 passengers, while the remaining 25 aircraft are expected to be jumbo jets.
"Spain is a preferred destination for many international air travelers and as well one of the main hubs that connect Europe with Latin America," Alonso said, adding that low cost carriers will also play an important role in increasing passenger traffic in Spain.

Who needs meat? The cumin-scented black bean filling is hearty, satisfying, and incredibly easy to prepare. Round out the meal—and get a complete protein—by adding Mexican rice.
Leave a Review
Easy and pretty tasty. I used cotija instead of feta, seemed appropriate. Definitely taste your mashed beans for salt. Enjoyed the texture and I will make again for an easy week day meal, but I can't give it four forks. It was good, but it wasn't "oh wow". Wish I could give it 3.5 but...
This is absolutely delicious. Husband adds the hot sauce, I pass on it and we both love this dish. I make it exactly as indicated and it is fast, easy and nutritious. Great recipe.
We love this recipe and have made it many times. Follow the recipe, it is perfect. Truly a winner...more than the sum of it's parts!
Delicious for this cold, snowy night! I heated the beans and cumin to make them easier to mash, microwaved the (flour) tortillas for 20 seconds instead of frying, and we just heaped on our own fillings. Next time I'll experiment with more cumin and lime juice. Also, I'll probably double the recipe since it was just barely enough for my husband and me. Great addition to the recipe box!
Very quick and easy to make, but delicious nonetheless. A definite keeper.
used 1 T cumin instead of 1/2 t. and the juice of a whole lime. Add sour cream. Hard corn tortillas.
Super tasty and easy. I used flat parsley instead of cilantro by mistake and they were still excellent. I used 1 T cumin instead of 1/2 t. and the juice of a whole lime. I mixed the beans and slaw together when I was putting away the leftovers, and they might even be better the next day. Served with sour cream. Made them like quesadillas with big flour tortillas. Awesome. Used Cholula Chipoltle sauce.
This was a tasty little dish and a snap to make. We used flour tortillas cuz I always find corn tortillas so difficult to work with and don't really like their texture. Used Pam to cook tacos and this worked really well without all the grease. Served with yellow rice and guacamole. Doubled the recipe for six people and we ate it all. Would make a tasty little weekend lunch too
Totally addictive. Fantastic recipe. I'm so happy to have stumbled upon it. The whole family loves it.
My husband and I love this dish. The first time we made it, we followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of cutting the oil a little. Since then, we've begun doctoring the beans a bit more - with more cumin, garlic powder and a bit of chicken broth or soy sauce for some meatiness. We use standard slaw mix, with the green parts of most of a bunch of scallions, a bit more cilantro than called for, and a thinly sliced jalapeño (red, for color, if available). We only add about a teaspoon of oil to the slaw, since more doesn't really add much. We also use queso fresco instead of feta. The chipotle hot sauce is necessary. Definitely only enough for two adults and maybe a child. There's no way this is four main course servings. Quick and easy and perfect in the summer. Far tastier than the sum of all its parts.

There will be several vacancies in Mississippi State's wide receivers corps next season, but some immediate help is on the way.
Of the 23 verbal commitments in MSU's 2013 class, six are listed as wide receivers, and a handful of "athletes" could wind up at that position as well. That's good, because four seniors – including All-SEC pick Chad Bumphis – are gone from last season's 8-5 team.
Two of MSU's wide receiver commits come from the junior college ranks: Jeremey Chappelle and Corey Smith. Chappelle (6-foot-2, 212 pounds) is already enrolled and will take part in spring practices.
Smith will arrive this summer, and he has a four-star rating from 247Sports.com. At 5-11, 185 pounds, he's the smallest of what is, on the whole, a large group of receivers.
The average height of the other five receiver commits is 6-31⁄2, 201 pounds, and size is a character trait that's been lacking in MSU's receivers in recent years. It was a big reason the Bulldogs, while improving their passing game, didn't stretch the field that often in 2012.
There is some size returning in the forms of Joe Morrow (6-4, 205) and Robert Johnson (6-1, 220). Also back is tight end Malcolm Johnson (6-2, 230), who averaged a team-leading 17.1 yards per catch.
The biggest receiver of MSU's 2013 class is De'Runnya Wilson, of Wenonah School in Birmingham. He's 6-5, 212, and is known for his physical play. He's played some tight end and doesn't mind blocking.
Wilson seems a willing learner. He'll be under the tutelage of receivers coach Tim Brewster, who drew praise from MSU's ball-catchers for his work last season after being hired in August.
"I will be doing all the things that coach Brewster teaches me," Wilson told Bulldawgs247.com.
But any immediate receiver help is likely to come from the juco transfers.
Paul Jones, who covers MSU recruiting for Bulldawgs247, believes Smith could have the biggest impact this coming fall. A four-star prospect, Smith had 51 catches for 733 yards and nine touchdowns at East Mississippi Community College last season.
MSU coach Dan Mullen has talked with his junior college transfers about the need to come in and help out right away.
"One of the big things, and you talk about it … is with the junior college players you're coming in as a veteran. You have to act like a junior, act in a leadership role," Mullen said.

Citigroup (C) made a big bet on emerging markets, and now it might be paying for it.
JPMorgan's Vivek Juneja and team explain:
Citi derived over 40% of Citicorp revenues and earnings from EM in 2013. EM debt and equity funds have seen outflows. As a result, despite some recent recovery in EM, we expect decline in revenues from: 1) trading volumes in EM, which will offset short term spike in activity – drop in Latin America trading will impact earnings more because its operating margins are over 50% higher than other regions; 2) investment banking fees with lower underwriting volumes; and 3) investment sales fee revenues outside US. Furthermore, as seen in prior recent crises, negative impact is likely on trading and underwriting revenues broadly (in addition to EM)….
If EM weakness spreads and continues, it could increase credit losses and lower revenues further, including net interest revenues via slower loan growth. There is likely to be a bigger increase in loan loss reserves which are a relatively low 2.29% of loans at Citicorp. Citi has relatively small credit exposure to the "Fragile 5" countries, with India and Brazil the largest, each at about 3% of Citicorp loans and among the faster growing regions for consumer loans, but also include some low risk corporate loans. Some other countries are weakening too – Argentina and Chile.
The good news is that Citi's recent weakness–its shares have dropped 5% this year even as JPMorgan Chase (JPM) has fallen 1%, Wells Fargo (WFC) has risen 1.3% and Bank of America (BAC) has gained 7.1% –reflect many of the concerns, Juneja says. The bad news: "[Upside] may be limited by further pressure on earnings from lower revenues," Juneja notes.
Shares of Citigroup have dropped 0.7% to $49.51 today at 11:46 a.m., while JPMorgan Chase has fallen 0.3% to $57.88, Bank of America has declined 0.5$% to $16.67 and Wells Fargo is unchanged at $45.98.

Top 5 Reasons Why I'm a Bills Fan
Posted on 21 Mar 2011 by Norm Duhamel.
Since the NFL and the NFLPA failed to reach a new CBA and there is a lockout, perhaps we should take a poll and see what CFL team Bills fans should cheer for if they don't get a new deal settled in time. I bring to you this week the top 5 reasons why I'm a Bills fan. There have been many times I've been asked "Why do you cheer for the Bills? They suck", well here are my reasons! F...

The fact that former Mississippi Gov. Ray Mabus went through a no-holds-barred divorce more than a decade ago is in no way relevant to the U.S. Senate confirmation hearings he'll face before the Senate Armed Services Committee as President Obama's nominee for secretary of the U.S. Navy.
What's relevant is the question of whether Mabus has the skills to lead the Navy in perilous times and in keeping with the philosophies of the Obama administration. As a former governor of Mississippi from 1988-92 and former Clinton administration U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, the Harvard-educated Mabus clearly possesses that skill set.
The Senate should confirm Mabus' appointment. Both of Mississippi's Republican senators – U.S. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker – publicly support the appointment.
For the record, Mabus and his former wife, Julie Hines, were divorced after a 1998 counseling session with a Jackson Episcopal priest in which Mabus and the priest secretly recorded Hines' conversation.
The content of the taped conversation was used in a bitter battle between the couple over legal custody of their two daughters. The judge in the divorce awarded legal custody to Mabus and split physical custody between him and Hines.
After losing the custody fight, Hines sued the priest, his church and the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi, alleging malpractice and fraud. Mabus was not named in the suit because he broke no laws by recording the meeting.
Hines' 2002 lawsuit against the priest and the church drew national attention as a test case for privacy rights involving churches as she accused the priest and the church of betraying her trust in collusion with Mabus. A judge dismissed Hines' suit in 2006 and an appeal remains before the state Supreme Court.
Yet however titillating that personal drama might be, the White House responded to a March 29 story in The New York Times rehashing the nasty Mabus divorce in the wake of his nomination as the highest ranking civilian leader of the Navy by confirming that they knew all about the contentious marital split before Mabus was nominated and that President Obama "nominated Gov. Mabus to be secretary of the Navy because he has the proven leadership and experience our nation needs to serve in this important position."
In the years since the Mabus divorce, Mabus has remarried and his career in business has prospered. Mabus was a road warrior for the Obama campaign nationally – making over 300 campaign appearances in mostly rural areas of the country.
The Mabus daughters – one now following in her dad's footsteps at Harvard and one still in high school – have been achievers. Mabus has gone on with his life.
So has Hines. Her charitable works among the "Lost Boys of Sudan" and other Southern Sudanese refugees have been notable and admirable.
Mississippi is a shipbuilding state. Northrup Grumman remains one of the state's major employers and building ships for the U.S. Navy has been part of that company's core mission.
Ray Mabus should be confirmed as secretary of the Navy – a fact that not even Mississippi Republicans who tried to defeat him in every statewide race he waged are disputing. If a decade-old divorce fight is all they have to throw at him, he will be.
