We took the idea of "adapt and conquer" to the extreme. Oakley Fast Jacket™ XL is a performance product with a unique interchangeable lens design that lets you match your optics to your environment. Switching out the lenses is fast and easy, thanks to Switchlock™ Technology. It's an innovation that locks the lenses in place with a quick release system. With Switchlock, the lenses are securely suspended without any stresses that could alter the optics, so you'll have premium clarity with true, accurate vision. We shaped stainless steel with metal injection molding to create a convenient button that releases each lens. That means minimal handling and no hassle. Just put in a new lens set and go.
Between sunrise and sunset, there's a whole spectrum of possibility, but you can't take advantage of it unless your vision can adapt. If the sun pulls a disappearing act or busts its way through the clouds, just swap out the lenses with a different set. The advantages don't stop there. Pro athletes know it takes the right combination of light filtering, glare blocking, visual contrast and color balance to help them perform at their best, and it varies from sport to sport and place to place. With Fast Jacket™ XL, they have the power to adapt their vision quickly and give themselves every possible advantage.
Oakley Fast Jacket™ XL comes with the unbeatable technologies you expect from a world leader in performance innovation. Impact protection meets ANSI Z87.1 standards while clarity and optical precision exceed them. We achieve it all with the unrivaled technologies of High Definition Optics® (HDO®), including patented XYZ Optics® that maintains clarity at every angle of view. We use the most optically pure lens material in the industry, Plutonite®. It has the added advantage of filtering out every baking ray of ultraviolet light including UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm.
Fast Jacket™ XL has open-edge lens architecture to give you an advantage when looking through the downward view. We made the frame out of comfortably lightweight O Matter®, a durable material that withstands the punishment of pro sports. Each frame comes with two sizes of interchangeable nosepads to help you get a precise fit. Like the earstem sleeves, they are made of Oakley Unobtainium® that increases grip when you perspire. A Three-Point Fit keeps the optics precisely aligned while maximizing comfort by eliminating the pressure points that come with ordinary frames that hook your ears.
Oakley Fast Jacket™ XL comes with two sets of interchangeable lenses. We formulated one set for bright sun and engineered the other for lower light, so you'll be ready for a wide range of environments. It all stows conveniently in the included case. When you're ready to hone-in on the best optics for your particular sport or application, take a look at the optional lens sets made for this premium performance sunglass.
Need prescription lenses? No worries there. We make Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses that work perfectly with the Switchlock™ system of Fast Jacket™ XL, and you can choose from a wide array of lens options.
Also available in: Fast Jacket XL

hey can we move this already, this arguments will get uglier
Some other incidents in other regions were also reported.
No wonder JSF give their concern over the skaters' safety.
Anyway, I really hope this is over soon so skaters can compete without worrying about their safety or politics.
Has Russia decided if they will send KAWAGUCHI(& SMIRNOV) to COC or not?
Or is it not even an issue for Russia why NOT to send her?
If you are insinuating that the Japanese consulate is making up these stories, then I really don't know what to say to you.The Japanese Consulate in Shanghai has reported that a number of Japanese have been harassed in recent days, including one who had a bowl of hot noodles thrown at him and another who was kicked on the street. The consulate urged citizens to not take taxis alone or speak loudly in Japanese while in public.

misskarne, I don't believe I ever claimed to be non-bias. I don't have a "side" on the island issue - I don't know enough of the history, but I also have stated that I don't believe violence is ever the solution. In fact, given the history between these two countries, I don't think they'll ever have a good relationship, but I don't believe attacking individuals of any nationality is acceptable. I am not Chinese, but I do believe that western media tends to favour the non-Chinese "side" in most issues, and that some people are anti-China before looking at the issues from multiple sources; in general people don't believe the Chinese press merely because it's the Chinese press. I don't find the Chinese press more biased than any other press most of the time, but I always try and check multiple sources.
I think that people thinking Japanese skaters will be unsafe is an overreaction. The protests are over for starters, the majority of people don't know who they are, and those who do know they are, support skating.
Bloomberg: Audi Asked China Dealership to Remove Anti-Japan Banner
The banner at an Chinese Audi dealership reads, "Even if the whole of China is covered with tombs, [we] must kill all Japanese; even if no grass grows in China…."
From what I read in papers, Japanese school in China was closed and some Japanese nationals living in China were forced by protesters to write down on a piece of paper that the island belongs to China. Moreover, Japanese raced dogs (don't know how you call them) were killed.
Thus. if JSF decides not to send their skaters, I would understand. They might not be safe in the hotel or on their way to the rink.
It's sad when you know that the chinese government is actually the one encouraging their people to do all this. Punching and killing ain't protest, it's crime. And they should have send their athletes to Japan (was it badminton ?) because there is absolutely no danger in Japan, and hey! think about the ahtletes who've been training for years for the competitions.
Now, what should I do with my tickets ?
The Japanese school was only very briefly closed, it's open now. The protests have ended, everything was back to normal last weekend, even near the Japanese embassy (though I don't know if it's open, there are no longer any protests or road closures).
The Japanese have no love for the Chinese ratatouille, the feelings are mutual on both sides. IF the JSF choose not to send their skaters, it's probably because they want to send a statement, more than its because they actually believe their skaters will be unsafe. There's nothing wrong with that, but it will be politics, not safety. Which is sad for the skaters, and those who want to see the skaters.
Actually many Japanese are afraid of going to China. My friend's business trip scheduled in next month was cancelled.
Food safety in China was already in question even before this incident. Remember melamine-tainted milk? The frozen dumplings exported to Japan were contaminated with a pesticide. Now we fear for something worse.

When you believe strongly in an idea, how do you shepherd it into being? As senior editor Trent Gilliss explains, sometimes it takes years of perseverance and framing.
One of the values of science is to make us uncomfortable says Lawrence Krauss. The particle physicist explains why we should all care about dark energy and the Higgs Boson particle. Science literacy matters, and, more importantly, he suggests we should take joy in science — just as we cultivate enjoyment of arts we may not completely comprehend.

Your Comments
Dr. Krauss reminds me much of
Dr. Krauss reminds me much of a gentleman I knew well as a child. Both are engaging, interesting, and entertaining. And both have the ability to charm people into kindly smiling upon their deep-seated contempt and hatred for a large group of their fellows. Mr. X's racism, fortunately, can now only be smiled upon in the darkest of corners. Dr. Krauss'--a word as handy as 'racism' hasn't come into usage yet, but let's call it a philosophical materialism deeply contemptuous of and aggressive towards religious thought and believers--though, is still smiled upon under the stage lights of all our elite institutions. It's really a shame to see it on this show (though to be fair, Krista did seem somewhat embarrassed at points by Krauss' sneering and attempted to either steer him to other topics or weakly challenge him on his ignorance and prejudice).
Dr. Krauss' perspective on what he actually knows something about was both enlightening and entertaining. Still, though, he is perhaps the worst guest you have ever had on this show.
I must agree. I myself am
I must agree. I myself am somewhere between agnosticism and atheism, but I am sometimes moved to consider spiritual possibility by Krista Tippett's guests. This particular interview was different. Lawrence Krauss has a clearly antagonistic attitude towards the general premise of the whole program. The message "Religion is crap," fails to inspire me.
You choice of words in
You choice of words in describing Dr. Krauss' view on theists says much more about you than an accurate portral of his views, i.e. "deep-seated contempt and hatred for a large group of their fellows". To then equate Dr. Krauss' position on theism as being similar to racism is intellectually dishonest and utterly shameful. Apparently since you are unable to make sound arguments as to why you disagree with Dr. Krauss' positions, you find the need to resort to character assassination and slimy distortions and misrepresentations of his position. This is shameful behavior and I recommend you amend your post to correct it. Please address what Dr. Krauss said in the interview with a reasoned argument and not an emotional attack.
I had little to say about
I had little to say about Krauss' views (other than that they were intelligent, interesting, and well-presented). To boil down my observation: Krauss exhibited a belligerent and closed-minded bigotry that is out of step with the purpose and ethos of On Being. It made for a bad show.
I agree. It was a bad show.
I agree. It was a bad show. He was so interested in badmouthing religion, that it diminished any respect I might have for his opinions on the area he was actually qualified to speak. That he is an atheist doesn't bother me at all. That he spent his time being an anti-theist quickly got very boring and tedious. It seriously diminished his contribution to what makes "On Being" is a show I enjoy. I found his anti-theism to be as boring as people who are anti-atheists. Tell us what IS meaningful to you, and stop attacking what might be meaningful to someone else.
Phil,I do agree with you. I
Phil,I do agree with you. I see a stark contrast between Dr. Krauss' approach and sensitivity to other worldviews than Krista's other guests. There's an edge of underlying hostility and anger toward the spiritually minded that he seems to have no problem showing. His affect is pretentious and haughty. To me there is no separation between the sciences, philosophy and religion. The pursuit of truth and knowledge is our aim. I like your comment "philisophical materialism". There is a lack of honesty and integrity in the scientific community about presumptions and what is truly observable. For example: quarks. We must approach life with humility and openness else we become inaccessible. However, I so greatly admire Krista's grace and trust of her listeners. She doesn't ever need the last word. She trusts us to draw out our own conclusions. What a fantastic example of journalism at it's finest.
I think what he is trying to
I think what he is trying to discover/explain is the process as to how it is that we are dust and to dust we shall return. If everything in the universe is composed of matter; in the biblical sense what we know as dust. Scientifically, how and why does this occur in the universe? Krista kept pushing on the question of origin; so if we originate from dust/matter and we and everything else in the universe becomes a form of life and death only to start the process again. Why do we think as humans that we are so unique if we have/are a source of matter in all of its different stages? Does origin really matter and how can we not love one another and the universe knowing that is part of oneself. Surely, we speak of things we do not understand, things too wonderful for us to know.
I would not discount him as a crazy Galileo. I think he is on to something, perhaps and appreciation and more diplomatic approach towards the beliefs and views or interpretations of different religions trying to understand the complexities of our universe would serve him better. Great shows Krista, please keep doing what you are doing, I love your work.
Great show! There was no
Great show! There was no 'choir' here. It seems that everyone was challenged including the guest and the host. I loved the way you ended the program, Krista. Thank you for your willingness to take real risks.
What a wonderful program! I'm
What a wonderful program! I'm glad to see that Dr. Krauss was allowed to actually share his views about religion. So often in the media, any criticism of religious viewpoints about existence and meaning are stifled by the host or another guest as being intolerant or blasphemous.
The host seemed genuinely perplexed by the idea that science can have anything meaningful to say about existential questions.
Dr. Krauss made a good point when he said that "The knowledge that the meaning we have is the meaning we make should inspire us to do better. Every single thing that religion provides, rationality, empiricism, and science can provide. And not only that — they can provide it better."
The late philosopher Paul Kurtz explained this viewpoint further in his 'Affirmations of Humanism' (http://theperplexedobserver.tumblr.com/post/5734214755/the-affirmations-of-humanism-a-statement-of) when he wrote that secular humanists "are committed to the application of reason and science to the understanding of the universe and to the solving of human problems."
I agree with what Penn Jillette once said on NPR's Morning Edition when he explained that not believing God means that "all the suffering in the world isn't caused by an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent force that isn't bothered to help or is just testing us, but rather something we all may be able to help others with in the future. No God means the possibility of less suffering in the future. Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have."
I and many other human beings, including Dr. Kruass, if I'm not mistaken, embrace secular humanism as Paul Kurtz defined it, not only because much of that philosophy agrees with many wise ideas about living a good and fulfilling life but also because many of these ideas are informed by science.
An eloquent professor at Virgina Tech, when responding to an attack on atheists in the aftermath of the 2007 shooting, said "We atheists do not believe in gods, or angels, or demons, or souls that endure, or a meeting place after all is said and done where more can be said and done and the point of it all revealed. We don't believe in the possibility of redemption after our lives, but the necessity of compassion in our lives. We believe in people, in their joys and pains, in their good ideas and their wit and wisdom. We believe in human rights and dignity, and we know what it is for those to be trampled on by brutes and vandals. We may believe that the universe is pitilessly indifferent but we know that friends and strangers alike most certainly are not. We despise atrocity, not because a god tells us that it is wrong, but because if not massacre then nothing could be wrong."
It was also implied by the host that science has nothing to say about spirituality but as Kruass stated, "Spirituality isn't having the answers before you ask the questions. . . Real spirituality comes from asking the questions and opening your mind to what the answers might be."
One does not have to believe in an afterlife to find meaning in life or death.
Another meaningfull quote about spirituality and science comes from Michael Scott Earl's 'The Spiritual Atheist.' (http://reasonworks.com/michael-scott-earl/the-spiritual-atheist/)
"Spirituality is that dimension of the human experience arising from ones relationship with reality. Scientific exploration enhances our relationship with reality by simply introducing us to more of it. The vastness and beauty of our universe is just one of the more spectacular examples."

An open letter to NASA, ESA & CERN.
The paradigm of physics adopted by NASA, ESA & CERN has been shown to be fundamentally incorrect & baseless through published scientific article "Experimental & Theoretical Evidences of Fallacy of Space-time Concept and Actual State of Existence of the Physical Universe' (www.indjst.org; March2012) available at http://www.indjst.org/index.php/indjst/article/view/30369/26297 and consequently openly challenged & the open challenge is available at http://www.worldsci.org/php/index.php?tab0=Abstracts&tab1=Display&id=6476&tab=2 and also at http://www.gsjournal.net/Science-Journals/Essays/View/4018.
Are not you under moral obligation to accept the challenge before proceeding any further with wastage of public money on the name of research?
I enjoyed hearing the show
I enjoyed hearing the show and listened to it twice so I could catch what Dr Krauss was talking about, he is a very fast talker. It was interesting but I feel he was a bit full of himself and seemed to love the word I. Thanks for keeping the show in line Kista, you are a master at that.
Rose nicely captures my own
Rose nicely captures my own experience of listening to Dr. Krauss. He's a "poster-child" for unadulterated ego.
I listen to OnBeing (usually
I listen to OnBeing (usually the full interviews) to hear from individuals who inspire me, who exemplify compassion, self-awareness, humility, and wisdom. Whether people interviewed are religious, atheist, or agnostic, I learn volumes from them and their ways of being in the world. Unfortunately, this guest was different--though I agreed with much of the content of what he said. He insisted on relentlessly caricaturing people of faith. Such a dynamic toward the other is the core of prejudice and bigotry, and the opposite of what I would want to emulate myself, or see emulated in others. I have to say, the impression this interview gave me was of a huge ego on a stage. Krauss' scientific knowledge and insights are fascinating. Yet I have appreciated learning from other scientists who disseminate knowledge and encourage questioning and discovery without the belligerent subtext and without characterizations lacking nuance. I am a fan both of OnBeing and of Ms. Tippett and have listened to essentially every interview in the archive.
Could you give us some
Could you give us some examples of professor Krauss' "relentlessly caricaturing people of faith" , "belligerent subtext" and "characterizations lacking nuance"? Making such accusations without presenting any evidence makes you appear to be caricaturing him i.e. engaging in prejudice and bigotry -the opposite of what you just got done claiming you would want to emulate yourself.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, he dismisses
Unfortunately, he dismisses as childish and meaningless the most important question of all, the question of mystics, poets, and the program On Being: "why?" I was enthralled listening to the buildup to the spiritual aspect of the discussion....and disappointed to find there's nothing there. Not even dark energy. I much prefer the universe to the empty void that the last minute of this show revealed in him. And I think Krista did a fantastic job of removing, brick by brick, the curtan wall he had erected to try and hide this....just enough for us to see there's nothing there. He is proof that we desperately need the poets and mystics like Heschel...and Krista Tippet.
He did not dismiss the
He did not dismiss the questions of why. He said the question of why makes an assumption that is not justified. There may be no reason for the the existence of the universe but simply a "how" the universe came into existence. The mystics, poets and theologians can invent any story they want as they are not constrained to provide any evidence for their stories. If their inventions give you solace, fine. But don't criticize scientists like Dr' Krauss because they wont play along with your need for emotionally satisfying stories that supposedly answer the why question.

Fascinating show. Loved the challenge and debate; even though I am a regular listener, I sometimes get frustrated by the lack of debate between Krista and her guests; esp. if they are "religious" or "spiritual", she too often takes them at their word. I was disturbed by Krauss's manners and absolute need to always be right and jump in and interrupt which doesn't do justice to his arguments, or his often naive faith in scientism. All of that aside, it was also refreshing to hear an atheist actually be allowed to speak; too often, atheist voices are shut down, ridiculed, and vilified, and religious/spiritual voices are given a free pass.

Dr. Kraus sounds like a theologian to me. He has more faith in mystery than other types of belief systems, of which his is just another religion. Religions, science included, are man made systems and are both inadequate. Spirituality exists before and without both of them. The argument between science and religion is silly and endless. Looking.for answers from man's insufficient position in the universe is the blind leading the blind

I think we all provide
I think we all provide conduits not only for the ideas but also for the conflicts of our era. One pervasive (and very traditional) conflict in this era is the "us-versus-them" standoff between people who espouse one coherent story of existence and people who resist having such a story imposed. Both positions become reflexive. Thanks to Ms. Tippett for (as always) her consistent focus and care as an interviewer, and to Dr. Krauss for both acknowledging and reining in the passion that underlies inquiry and wonder. The conversation in this installment is enlightening both for its content and its honest struggle to step outside the traditional "science-versus-religion" frame of reference. I think that struggle will always be with us, but so will the common ground that lies beyond it: a humble respect for mystery.
Thanks for your conversation
Thanks for your conversation with Dr. Krauss. He is a highly intelligent man and I appreciated his insight, even though he (like a great deal of the scientific community) left me vexed. I am a man of faith, and the offhand arrogance that comes across as enlightenment that seeks to dampen those with spiritual pursuits denies that those very beliefs have shaped them as well, like it or not.
Let me explain. We will divorce, for a moment, the thought of "is God real" and go with the notion that "god" is a man-made concept. Yes, from a certain perspective it would be the rationalization of "bronze age thinking in understanding the universe," but this concept also assisted in maintaining the species. At some point in our evolution there needed to be that divergence that elevated humans higher than the animals. The animals procreate and the animals kill. That's natural. That's instinct. Humans needed to make that leap. Why? Because unlike the animals, we had the capacity to think our way through our instinct.
Example: a wildcat kills a gazelle for the pride to feed. They are hungry, they kill, they eat. They do not kill all the gazelle, just enough to feed. Humans, on the other hand, have the capacity to see full townships, full regions of people as "enemies." We think our way into believing it would be best that their entire pack be destroyed, not just individuals. History shows this to be true. If that is the case, then there would be no reason for the opposing townships not to believe the same. In the end, the species would kill itself off (or come very close to it) because the animalistic and humanistic tendencies would be in conflict.
God as a concept presents a fail-safe for the species. It is an outside force that sates "thou shalt not kill," theoretically impartial to one township over another. Because it is not just another human saying "I think thou shalt not kill" it is an edict over all. Without that, if it was just one "peacenik" saying you, that peacenik gets eliminated to further achieve the political goal. In a sense, the conceptual "god" has for centuries presented a reason to behave and not kill off our own with impunity.
Of course, we all all know of examples, even in the 21st Century, where that fail-safe has been superseded, but one cannot correct all the animalistic thought processes out there.
It is this notion of a heaven and hell, a god, or otherwise overseer of right and wrong that is separate from us that has fundamentally shaped our decision-making concepts over the ages; even among atheists. The idea that humans are above wouldn't exist without the conditioning experienced and integrated over time. Now, does that mean that science cannot explain away god? Not necessarily. But to claim out of hand that it was all just baseless fables for children, even though our race probably depended on it to keep us from killing ourselves into extinction, is to be short-sightedly dismissive.
I have my beliefs because I have felt things that I cannot explain through the rational. I can only square the circle through mystery. I will either have my suspicions confirmed one day, or I'll be dead and it just won't matter. But I am more likely to see a natural end than if the entire human race was conditioned to believe that there was no outside governance that forbade wiping us out with no consequences. It's just a thought.
I like the fact that you use
I like the fact that you use conditioning, the process of rewards and punishments to change a behavior and relate it to religion. I am not convinced that god exists for all species and without god people would be in chaos. I open doors and have morality and think everything religious was invented by a person at some time. Not, discovered by the chosen and forced upon polytheists. If so why are their different religions. And why do some not have god or some have several gods. Also, where in the universe is heaven? Is it above Earth, out by Pluto, the Milky Way. Is hell in the Sun, or in the rocks of the Earth? I am glad though that the idea of faith is what makes you think that you are a good person, however, it is not the only reason people are good. So if people don't kill, its because of God? What about the people who do kill? Did they not get enough God? And if Goid is there why would he allow a bunch of murders to occur in his name, crusades and such?
In Howard Gardner's model of
In Howard Gardner's model of Multiple Intelligences, he accepts a category that he called "Existential Intelligence" that others prefer to call "Spiritual Intelligence."
I suppose if neither of those labels existed, and someone asked me to come up with a name for it, I'd propose to call it Systems Intelligence.
Existential Intelligence | Wikipedia
Some proponents of multiple intelligence theory proposed spiritual or religious intelligence as a possible additional type. Gardner did not want to commit to a spiritual intelligence, but suggested that an "existential" intelligence may be a useful construct. The hypothesis of an existential intelligence has been further explored by educational researchers.
I am one of those educational researchers who, in the process of studying the interplay of emotions and learning, finds that emotions associated with spiritual states are a significant factor in the learning process.
just because something is
just because something is significant, doesn't mean that it is real. I have a hard time believing that without god, (me for example) people wouldn't feel. I just don't feel any positive emotions towards faith. So I ask, do I have existential intelligence? Or does one have to be a believer to have this type of intelligence.
I was taken by Krauss'
I was taken by Krauss' suggestion that in our culture, we often give up too soon when we are stumped by life's probing questions, especially when it comes to science. I also enjoyed how he handled her questions about religion and spirituality..and even though he cut her off (he seemed passionate about the subject) he got me with his assertion that real spirituality is asking the questions and being open to the possibilities. I agree. We don't have to have all the answers about science or religion, but does this mean we shouldn't share ideas and be open to the possibility that each side has something valuable to add to the discussion, and that answers can come from the most unlikely places....if they come at all.
In response to Mr Krauss's
In response to Mr Krauss's question "What's the point?" after Ms. Tippett quoted a rabbi, I would say religions provide a basis for community.
I believe Jesus was an
I believe Jesus was an atheist who revered our father (God as natural law, cause and effect, logic, truth). I believe he was a determinist, egalitarian and utopian ideologist who espoused that revering truth's revelations coupled with faith in love (economic and interacting system of doing as we wish others would do in our situations without ulterior motives such as prestige and pay) was the way to heaven on earth.
If one has to find their own
If one has to find their own meaning, then we live more fully, aware that we have no other chance. I do think Judea/Christian religions have a tendency to dull that "lust" for life. I also wonder if we wouldn't appreciate life more and work harder to make it wonderful for all. Probably neither atheism or religion would change a particular individuals lust for power, but I wonder if there wouldn't be more overall respect for life if we weren't relying on a spiritual Being to make sense of hardship or to provide a hereafter.
I don't think this negates the meaning that spiritual traditions could hold. I think it all depends on interpretation.
about time for a real
about time for a real conversation on a Sunday morning. Well played.
Your guest constantly
Your guest constantly contradicts himself, often over-reaches and then draws back (or vise-versa). He is a provacateur, which is fine, but his disjointed monologues,his unnecessary cheap shots, his straw-dogging of religion, conflating religion with theology (as if either is a singular) make it nearly impossible to follow whatever point he wants to make. He makes one half-cohernt criticism of faith. I wish he would have stayed at that criticism, fleshed it out, explained it, and addressed rational objections (there are some, afterall). I will read his most recent book in the hope that it is more coherent, balanced, and rational than what appears in the radio program as rather thoughtless and impolite zealotry.
He conflicts and or dismisses the question of "Why" with "How," he (rightly) notes that science is about data collection and that questions are more interesting than answers and then says it can answer theological questions better than theology. His most grave mistake is an ancient one: asssuming that "natural philosophy" can address questions unique to rational people. Human existance, for example, is not reducible to evolution, however sublime that science is at describing what happens in nature. I'd love to hear him explain and justify his reductionism. He was, if I may add, most elouqent when he demonstrated his inability to explain what he understands 'love' to be.
If science has indeed won the
If science has indeed won the meaning tussle, why does Dr. Krauss have such an evidently large chip on his shoulder? Regarding novels by Joyce or paintings by Picasso, and the purported consensus regarding their intrinsic value; wouldn't that be nice if it were actually so?
I am truly a little stunned
I am truly a little stunned about how closed minded Dr. Krauss is toward any views other than his own. He simply attacks (loudly as if he is hurrying to bury any thought or discussion). Quite frankly, I don't find anything very interesting or intellectually challenging about his points. I am certainly not a religious person, but there are questions that are worthy of discussion. Kant long ago made the convincing point that there are things outside of our ability to understand - with or without science. As Pascal said many years ago: "If one subjects everything to reason our religion will lose its mystery and its supernatural character. If one offends the principles of reason our religion will be absurd and ridiculous....There are two equally dangerous extremes, to shut reason out and to let nothing else in." (21,xix) from Pascal in Pensees. I feel like i listened to a constant whining about letting nothing else in.
Dear Krista:
Dear Krista:
I thought your show with Dr. Krauss was wonderful. More than any guest in recent memory he captures my point of view. His enthusiasm can be intimidating, but I share it. The only quibble I have is with his answer to your question about what science can give to the person who is dying. It was, I suspect, a question he hadn't pondered much but if he had I believe he might have said that neither religion or science can give much to the dying. My experience is that the dying need the presence and touch of the living, especially family and friends, or empathetic good Samaritans. It is a conceit of both religion and science that the dying need either.
I enjoyed this discussion,
I enjoyed this discussion, and more than usual Krista's questions -- though I thought she left Krauss off the hook. I think science beautiful, but, as a biologist, I am often struck by the limitations of scientific inquiry. It seems there is a rule that the more interesting the question, the less likely we are able to study it--this is simply due to the complexity of what humans tend to find interesting. Physics, of course, as the most reduced science, is driven by the quest for simplicity.
But here is my frustration with this discussion. Science is treated like a toy chest, in which various marvels can be taken out and enjoyed, but all in a very nonscientific context. The context for judging science seems to be a vague nativism or mild hedonism: science is great because it makes us feel good, feels us with awe, etc. I agree with all that, but we should be more explicit that these statements only have no real scientific meaning, and that their context is the stuff of philosophy, and perhaps theology. As Max Weber said, rationalism is a means to an end end. Science cannot supply that end.
If there is nothing to all of
If there is nothing to all of life but the things and ideas expressed by Dr. Krauss, I don't know what reason I'd have to stick around for another day. Your guest may some day understand that the enthusiasms that seem so fullfilling to him seem beyond empty to many others. If individuals like Dr. Krauss can find ample satisfaction in the life of the mind, I wish them satisfying lives and do not want to shove any other needs down their throats. However, I would like to tell the good Dr. that he should take his urge to force feed the sawdust that comprises his beliefs to all those who feel the need to reach out beyond them.
I'm very grateful to
I'm very grateful to scientists like Mr. Krauss who discover things about the natural world that help us to understand the natural world and to praise God.
But 'ravings of illiterate peasants'? Really. It's a wonder that someone can call himself educted who knows nothing of the history of religions or theology, no?
When we are caught in the web
When we are caught in the web of pairs of opposites- this makes me happy, that makes me sad- the "me" mode prevents seeing clearly. Resting in between the two could lead to creative resolution of a perceived problem or better yet to creative dissolution. A change in view can allow fear to dissolve.
Krista Tippett's discussion
Krista Tippett's discussion with Lawrence Krauss was uncomfortable partly because he kept interrupting her. Also, it is always difficult to hear someone commit the original sin belligerently. My response is to his haughty description of our earliest believers.
Those ancient "illiterate peasants" were such a blessing to us! While looking up at the stars, down at the flowers and into the eyes of loved ones, they realized this world was a gift. Air, water, night and day were all created so we would have a place to grow physically, mentally and spiritually. Spiritual evolution allowed us to bow our knee and relinquish the position of God back to our Creator. It's a choice. Once we are no longer attempting to be God, we can be forgiven and cared for by the One who is greater than ourselves. The blessing is there, just waiting to be opened. My prayer is that Mr. Krauss evolves spiritually so he can experience the love, joy and peace that have filled believers through the ages. May his head be filled with peace and his heart be filled with love.
Dr. Krauss brings up the
Dr. Krauss brings up the chances of a tea pot orbiting Jupiter. It can't be disproved but it's not likely. Well, lets take the same line of reasoning further. What then are the chances that there is a small rocky planet orbiting a star with 7 billion beings that can contemplate such a question? The odds are even more unlikely, yet here we are. Beware of loaded reasoning on either side of the spectrum.
The difference between the
The difference between the unlikely teapot orbiting Jupiter and the planet with 7 billion people orbiting our sun is that we can find proof of the latter.
Precisely David. Everywhere
Precisely David. Everywhere we look outside of our home there is no evidence of a hospitable planet like ours. There is no evidence of any life. Fermi's paradox is squarely in place... I'd say the odds of our planet is far less likely than that teapot. Yet here we are.
Actually this was proven
Actually this was proven wrong. A number of planets very similar to earth in size and temperature have been discovered.
Having grown up in a
Having grown up in a fundamentalist church, this seemed like a similar fundamentalism of a scientific stripe - the same condescension and derision towards those that disagree and the same hubris. He even spoke at a half-shout like many of the childhood preachers I heard. Neither seem like good news to me.
While I agree with Mr. Krauss
While I agree with Mr. Krauss on just about everything. I don't think his arrogant/combative approach is helpful. Furthermore, he ignores the fact that knowing that nothing you do really matters is - or can be - depressing.
Krista is such a skilled and
Krista is such a skilled and educated interviewer that most of her interviewees respond in kind with compassion and intelligence. I'm sorry to see that Dr. Krauss' vitriol was unable to be moderated, even by Krista. I had to stop the regular podcast 10 minutes in, and won't be listening to the (unfortunately already downloaded) unedited interview.
I know that there are still many scientists out there who will behave much with much more maturity, and I am sure that Krista will be able to find them. I look forward to hearing those interviews!

Dr. Krauss says that "The knowledge that the meaning we have is the meaning we make should inspire us to do better. Every single thing that religion provides, rationality, empiricism, and science can provide. And not only that — they can provide it better."
And how does science tell us what is "better"?
He lists accomplishments that make us nod in agreement: raising children, providing a livelihood. But unfortunately others find meaning in killing children in a daycare center and planting explosives at a marathon race. Science can describe all those behaviors, quantify them, psychoanalyze them. If we live in a universe with no ultimate purpose, science has no way of saying which way of striving for meaning is "better".
I was intrigued by what Dr.
I was intrigued by what Dr. Krauss had to say concerning his own specific scientific discipline. The knowledge he has and shared does cause one to be prompted to wonder and awe. That having been said, his vitriolic arrogance was in full display when it came to his dogmatic assertions about religion and philosophy. The entire foundation for his unlearned stand was demolished by the woman who simply asked him to give an answer for the origin of love. Obviously stumped, he stumbled back into his argument of making further dogmatic assertions about chemical processes and the like yet with no scientific evidence to support his position.
Also as I listened, I heard him at the beginning be sure to remove the possibility of meaning or reason or purpose by removing the question why from the discussion. Even later on when he inadvertently used the word why, he was quick to correct himself so as to not destroy his own presuppositions. Yet having removed meaning and reason from his own worldview, he constantly used words infused with that which he himself refused to believe. Words like important, should, ought, good , better, right, these all imply a moral imperative that answers the question why and drives the person who uses and believes in them. The question then becomes, if there is no reason or meaning or purpose, why should we even care about what he has to say? He operates in a world infused with purpose and meaning yet having discovered it himself as evidenced by his own use of language, he himself refuses to acknowledge it. That seems to be intellectually dishonest.
Lastly, in this discussion, he himself again acknowledges that there is so much that remains unknown and I assume that he means that he also has not arrived at the state of infinite knowledge. My question would be then, how can he be so arrogantly dogmatic about the existence of God. He, in his atheistic stance, presupposes that he himself has infinite knowledge.

Ok so I've recently acquired a pair of Polk Monitor 12. Before getting them, I read all about how they are boomy. I didn't think it would be that bad so I got them anyway. Now that I have them, they are boomy. Now I'm trying to see if I can tame them a little bit.
My pair have some one inch risers on the bottom of them. I don't know if this is original or not. Would it be better to try and raise them off the floor a little bit more? Also, last night I got bored and took out the passive radiator. I was surprised to find no dampening material. There was some up behind the four 6.5" drivers. Should there be some behind the radiator as well?
I also found out that my cabinets are not properly sealed. When I press and hold the radiator in, the 6.5" move out and then start to come back in. Is there any good materials to seal the drivers back in. I have used a glue in the past, but I don't want to glue all the drivers back in.
Finally would these speakers benefit from crossover recap? When I had the radiator out, I could see they had a manufacture date of sept. 1990. I know people have benefited from recaps from speakers from 70's and 80's but not sure if these are "ready" for it.
I'm up for any more suggestions on how to getting the most out of these. Thanks!

Sanford Airport Begins $12 Million Worth of Upgrade Work
September 16th, 2013 | WMFE- Work is beginning on $12 Million worth of improvements to Orlando -Sanford International Airport.
[Image: Allegiant is one of the airlines that flies to Sanford]
Most of the money- $11.2 Million- comes from a Federal grant. It will pay for the refurbishment of the airport's Southwest Ramp Apron, where mechanics work on commercial aircraft.
Sanford Airport CEO Larry Dale says the ramp apron dates back to the 1950s, when the airport was a US-naval air station.
"It was originally built by the Navy for fighter planes and small bombers, so it wasn't built to the strength for group 5 commercial aircraft," says Dale.
"So it was beginning to deteriorate over the years."
Earlier this year the airport completed an extension of its runway to accommodate bigger, heavier aircraft, like the 787 dreamliner.
In July the UK based charter company Thomson Airlines began flying dreamliners to Sanford airport.
