Understanding "Assault Weapons"
This post is a somewhat condensed version of a three post series that I posted on my personal blog last week.
In the coming weeks, we're going to hear a lot about "assault weapons". This term is one that makes those who are informed about guns climb the walls a bit. "Assault weapon" is a legal term which was created by a series of gun control laws in the late '80s and early '90s culminating in the 1994 Federal Assault Weapon Ban. However, the term was coined to sound like the military technology term "assault rifle" (many even use the terms interchangeably.) Assault rifles were a development in military technology coming out of World War II, and it's there that I'd like to start this story.
Battle Rifle to Assault Rifle
During World War II the need for a lighter gun suitable for rapid fire became increasingly obvious. The roughly .30 caliber battle rifles that were standard issue for all WW2 armies fired very powerful cartridges and were accurate out to distances over 600 yards. However, although the rifles were technically accurate at such long distances, few soldiers had the skill to am the well at long range, and the vast majority of battlefield shooting was conducted at distances of 300 yards or less. Moreover, in WW2′s highly mobile tactics, the ability of infantry soldiers to lay down effective suppressing fire had become important. For most of the war this was achieved through specialization. Most infantry soldiers carried full size battle rifles like the American semi-automatic M1 Garand and the German bolt action K98, while a smaller number of soldiers were issued sub machine guns — lighter weapons which could shoot in fully automatic (firing continuously as long as the trigger was held down) or burst mode (firing bursts of 3-5 shots every time the trigger was pulled.) To make then easy to handle (and allow them to carry more rounds) sub machine guns shot smaller, pistol cartridges rather than a full size rifle cartridge and were thus suitable only for short range.

Military technologists were convinced that a cross between a full sized battle rifle and a sub machine gun was needed. Such a gun would shoot a rifle cartridge, but a lighter one which would not have as much recoil as a high power .30 caliber round. It should also be capable of shooting in burst or fully automatic mode as well as semi-automatic mode (one shot for each pull of the trigger.)
Germany produced the first true "assault rifle" near the end of World War II, the Sturmgewehr 44. It shot a shortened .30 caliber bullet with a lighter charge of powder behind it, making the recoil lighter and the ammunition cheaper to produce and lighter to carry, and it could shoot either in semi-auto or full-auto mode. By late 1943, however, the tide was already turning against Germany and its manufacturing capacity was waning. Only half a million were ever produced (compared to over 14 million of their full size K98 Mauser bolt action battle rifle.) However, it provided the inspiration for Mikhail Kalashnikov's development of the AK-47 in Russia after the war. The AK-47 also used a light .30 caliber cartridge and selective fire (the ability to fire either semi-auto or full-auto.) The design became the standard Russian infantry rifle in 1949 and went on to become perhaps the most widely produced rifle design in history. Continue reading
The Election in Two Images
I've been mostly offline the last couple days due to a business trip — leaving early the morning after the election. I may write a bit about the election itself in a few days, but since I've spent the last couple days deeply immersed in ways of visualizing data, these two versions of the election map struck me as really interesting in showing what went on Tuesday.
This first image shows the size of the winning candidate's margin for each county. (click for a larger view) [source]
This second image shows the direction of change in the vote of each county as compared to 2008.
UPDATE: Okay, one more image because with all the discussion of re-alignment and emerging majorities I couldn't help putting one together:
The Clever Economics Behind Romney's Tax Plan
One of the things which the candidates sparred over repeatedly in the debates was Romney's tax plan, on which Obama has repeatedly charged "the math doesn't work".
Romney's plan, as it has been presented, is to reduce tax rates by 20%. Thus, for example, the top rate would go down from the current 35% to 28%. Deductions and credits would then be reduced such that while the middle class would experience a net tax decrease, those at the top would continue to pay the same amount in taxes as they do now. Romney suggested how this might be done in the first debate:
[W]hat are the various ways we could bring down deductions, for instance? One way, for instance, would be to have a single number. Make up a number, $25,000, $50,000. Anybody can have deductions up to that amount. And then that number disappears for high-income people. That's one way one could do it.
The idea here would be that for a family making, say 60k/yr that currently takes a total of $15k in deductions, the deductions would remain untouched while their rate would go down, resulting in lower net taxes. For a family making $400k/yr that currently takes $70k in deductions, their deductions would be capped at $25k but their tax rate would be lower, so they would pay about the same as they do now.

Some Quick Post Debate Thoughts
President Obama's performance in the first debate was, unarguably, pretty lethargic, and he took a big hit in the polls shortly afterward. The general wisdom drawn from this, especially on the democratic side of the aisle, seemed to be that what was really needed in the debates was, thus, more aggression. Biden delivered this in his own unique way in the Veep debate, to such an extent that one wondered at times whether he would have to be removed from the stage in a straight jacket, still alternating between wild cackling and angry shouting, but at last he ran out of gas and calmed down in the last 20 minutes. Obama has a sense of personal dignity that Biden lacks, and so although he certainly came to the debate in a pugilistic frame of mind, he didn't make himself silly in the way that Biden did. Nonetheless, despite the fact that the debate was supposed to feature the candidates answering questions directly from voters, it instead was most notable for intense bouts of the candidates rhetorically hammering each other.
The common wisdom is that this kind of thing turns undecided voters off. I saw some anecdotal evidence of this in the reactions of my less partisan friends on Facebook, one of whom posted in indignation:
Dear Gov Romney and Pres Obama,
Every time you keep talking when you are reminded that a normal citizen has a question for you, you reinforce that you think what you have to say is more important than the concerns of the people of your country. You both lost my vote tonight.
This aside, though, I think the focus on rhetorical dominance and aggression has probably been misplaced. Was it really that Obama's performance in the first debate was so sluggish that cost him so much in the polls? I don't think most Americans care whether the president is a skilled debater or not. Continue reading
Veep Reax
Alright, I'm in full political crack monkey mode from here on till the election, so I'll be the one to throw up the instant reactions thread.
My take: This was not the total blowout that the first presidential debate was. Ryan was calm and professional the entire time. Biden brought his Cerberus-style split personality, one head Cheshire Cat, the other head rabid attack dog. He called Ryan a liar in the very first exchange and kept it up all night, at one point even accusing the moderator of lying. Then, during the last fifteen minutes Biden meds ran out and he fell back on the gravely "I'm so concerned" voice for the rest of the debate.
Overall, I'd rate it a draw. I think partisan Democrats are mostly elated, since all they've wanted for the last week is to see someone interrupt a Republican and call him a liar, and Biden did indeed do that constantly. Republicans had nothing to cringe about in Ryan's performance. Ryan remained cool and collected throughout and scored the one audience reaction line of the night in defusing Biden's attempt to demagogue the 47% quote.
What Independents will have thought I honestly can't say, though I see a CNN poll of undecided voters called it for Ryan by a 48 to 44 margin. My guess is, this does nothing to help Obama claw back from his collapse with the ordinary voting public, but it does help the Dem campaign by soothing the utter panic which has gripped much of the left over the last week. I'd guess we'll see basically consistent poll numbers (between a tie and Romney up one) for the next week until the next Presidential debate. Then we'll see. The big problem for Obama is that the next debate is strictly foreign policy and the one after that is a town hall meeting, so he never gets to imitate Biden's mad dog routine on domestic policy.
Prudential Judgement
It seems, at the moment, like one of the best ways to start a fight among a bunch of serious Catholics is to start throwing around the term "prudential judgement". However, for such a frequently used term, the concept is not often defined, and given all the contention around it, I think it would be helpful to try to write a fairly brief post defining it and examining why it seems to be the center of so much controversy.
Prudential judgement is the application of the virtue of Prudence to some given situation in making a judgement as to the virtuous course of action. The Catechism defines Prudence as follows:
1806 Prudence is the virtue that disposes practical reason to discern our true good in every circumstance and to choose the right means of achieving it; "the prudent man looks where he is going." "Keep sane and sober for your prayers." Prudence is "right reason in action," writes St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle. It is not to be confused with timidity or fear, nor with duplicity or dissimulation. It is called auriga virtutum (the charioteer of the virtues); it guides the other virtues by setting rule and measure. It is prudence that immediately guides the judgment of conscience. The prudent man determines and directs his conduct in accordance with this judgment. With the help of this virtue we apply moral principles to particular cases without error and overcome doubts about the good to achieve and the evil to avoid. [emphasis added]
So a prudential judgement is the application of moral principles to a particular case in order to achieve good and avoid evil. Thus, obviously, saying something is a matter of prudential judgement does not mean that "there is no right answer". The process of making a prudential judgement is one of judging which is the virtuous action to take in a given circumstance. Prudential judgments are definitionally moral questions. "Is vanilla or chocolate ice cream more tasty?" is not a matter of prudential judgement, it's a matter of personal taste.
Often "matters of prudential judgement" are contrasted with "intrinsic evils", especially in matters of political discourse. This leads to a lot of angst in some quarters. What is the difference?
An action which is intrinsically evil is something which is always and everywhere wrong. To use one of the standard examples: Abortion is an intrinsic evil in that the act of abortion can never be a just action. The taking of human life is not an intrinsic evil because it is an action which is unjust in some circumstances (murder) but just in others (self defense, just war, times and places when the common good requires the use of capital punishment). (My goal is to be short here, so I'm not going to enter into discussion of double effect.) As this example shows, just because something is not intrinsically evil doesn't mean that it isn't worthy of very, very serious moral reflection. Clearly, one can't say, "Killing another human being is not intrinsically evil, so reasonable people can feel free to differ on it." The prudential judgement of "does this situation justify the taking of human life" is clearly a moral question of the very highest magnitude.
Why then this distinction between "intrinsic evils" and "prudential judgments" in political discussion among Catholics? I think reason is that some moral principles seem to have political applications so obvious that there can be little room for variance in judgement. For instance, abortion is often cited as an example of an intrinsic evil on which Catholics may not vary in their opinion in politics. It is a belief held by much of the political left in this country that there is a "right to choice" in regards to abortion, in other words that a woman has a fundamental human right (which the state must respect and protect) to choose to have an abortion if she so chooses. From a Catholic moral point of view, one may not have a right to do something which is evil. I cannot have a "right to choose to torture" or a "right to choose to murder". As such, I think it's legitimate to say that a Catholic may not hold that a person has a right to procure an abortion.

Now Who Is Second Guessing the Polls?
Last week, before the debate, I noted that Democrats were mocking Republicans for trying to explain away Romney's poor performance in recent polling (while themselves showing a certain lack of reality in their assessment of the economy.) The debate came and Romney routed Obama on the debate stage in a way that exceeded my wildest hopes. Now we see an unprecedented post-debate surge for Romney in the polls, with Gallup and Rasmussen both showing Romney in a tie with Obama and a post-debate Pew poll showing Romney beating Obama by 4% among likely voters, a twelve point swing from Pew polling a month before in which Romney trailed Obama by 8%.
And just to show that the desire to fight the data is bi-partisan, now Democrats are trying to explain away the polls, with Jonathan Chait arguing:
Polls have very low response rates. Sometimes short-term events that dominate the news cycle excite partisans and make them more likely to answer pollsters — it happened when Romney picked Paul Ryan — but they don't reflect a deep remaking of the public opinion landscape, which remains fairly settled.
Of course, that's true. Polling is a very uncertain science, and there are lots of unknowns like partisan differences in response rates. Of course, that's equally true whether your candidate is ahead or behind, but it's something that people usually only emphasize in the latter case.
Romney certainly doesn't have the race in the bag. There's a month to go, and the Democrats will be going for Romney's metaphorical jugular with everything they've got. But there's enough polling floating around right now to suggest that the candidates are now even or else Romney is ahead. (As I go to hit "post", I see a PPP poll sponsored by DailyKos and the SEIU is out showing Romney up 2% over Obama among likely voters.) It may not last, but I'm hoping it does and enjoying it while I can.
The Reality Gap
We've reached the point in the election where the press decides to mostly report on how the election is being perceived rather than on any particular events, and since the president is doing well in the polls this results in a lot of "desperate Republicans do foolish things" stories. The flavor of the week seems to be the media's discovery that somewhere out there in the right-leaning internet, there are people who have made a hobby of "re-weighting" polls in order to reflect what the re-weighters think is a more likely partisan composition of the electorate come election day.
There is, yes, a certain sad desperation about this. Now that election reporting is often more about "the race" than about issues or events, being behind in the race is crippling and so people come up with way to try to explain it away. Those with long memories (eight years counts as long in our modern age) may recall that when Bush was so rude as to be ahead of Kerry in the 2004 race, Michael Moore and those like-minded rolled out a theory that all the polls were wrong because an army of voters who only used cell phones and not land lines (and thus couldn't be polled) were out there ready to vote against Bush.
However, just as everyone's getting ready to announce that Republicans, in their constant flight from the "reality based community" have decided they don't believe in polling, we find out that the left has its own reality problem: They're convinced that the economy has been getting better over the last couple months, despite the fact there's little reason to believe this. Gallup and the Pew Research Center both have data out showing that Democrats' opinions of the economy and the job market have suddenly started improving, despite almost universally bad news over the last several months.
As you can see, partisan affiliation wasn't much of a dividing factor in assessments of the economy a year ago, but now that a bad economy might mean President Obama not being re-elected, Democrats obediently come to the conclusion that the economy really isn't that bad. According to Pew, the same divide now exists on the job market, consumer prices, the financial market, real estate, and even gas prices. You would think that at least people could agree on what the level of gas prices is, but no, apparently not, though the gap is narrower there than elsewhere: 89% of Republicans say they hear mostly bad news about gas prices while 65% of Democrats do.
The trope goes that you are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. However, as the political divide has become wider and more entrenched opposite sides increasingly do have their own facts, as reality become filtered through a partisan lens.
Will Money Make Everyone Virtuous?
One of the many divides among modern Catholics is between what we might call the "moralizers" and the "justice seekers". "Moralizers" are those who emphasize the importance of teaching people moral laws and urging them to abide by them. "Justice seekers" seek to mitigate various social evils (poverty, lack of access to health care, joblessness, etc.) and believe that if only these social evils are reduced, this will encourage people to behave better.
Moralizers tend to criticize the justice seekers by pointing out that following moral laws is apt to alleviate a lot of the social evils that worry the justice seekers, arguing, for example, that if one finishes high school, holds a job and gets married before having children, one is far less likely to be poor than if one violates these norms.
Justice seekers reply that the moralizers are not taking into account all the pressures there work upon the poor and disadvantaged, and argue that it's much more effective to better people's condition than to moralize at them (or try to pass laws to restrict their actions) because if only social forces weren't forcing people to make bad choices, they of course wouldn't do so.
(I'm more of a moralizer myself, but I think that we moralizers still need to take the justice seeker critique into account in understanding where people are coming from and what they're capable of.)
One area in which the justice seeker approach seems to come into particular prominence is the discussion of abortion. We often hear politically progressive Catholics argue that the best way to reduce abortions is not to attempt to ban or restrict them, but rather to reduce poverty and make sure that everyone has access to health care. There's an oft quoted sound bite from Cardinal Basil Hume (Archbishop of Westminster) to this effect:
"If that frightened, unemployed 19-year-old knows that she and her child will have access to medical care whenever it's needed, she's more likely to carry the baby to term. Isn't it obvious?"
You'd think that it was obvious, but I'm suspicious of the idea that having more money or resources makes us better or less selfish people (an idea which strikes me as smacking of a certain spiritual Rousseauian quality that doesn't take fallen human nature into account) so I thought it would be interesting to see if there's any data on this.
I was not able to find data on the relationship of abortion to health insurance, but I was able to find data on the relation of abortion to poverty, and it turns out that the Cardinal, and conventional wisdom, are wrong.

|Senator Stumpf welcomes willingness to streamline government rules
This week, Northwest Minnesota was lucky enough to be the site of Governor Mark Dayton's first statewide visit as chief executive. I was honored for the opportunity to show him several communities in our region that have a lot to offer the state but, unfortunately, are too often forgotten. The fact that Gov. Dayton made his first official trip to our corner of the state is a very positive sign for all of us who are hoping Northwest Minnesota will be a strong participant in the state's economic recovery.
The Governor's visit was part of his promise to get Minnesota working again. As part of that goal, we attended the ribbon-cutting at Northstar Agri Industries' canola crushing facility in Hallock. We also met with key job providers, Digi-Key and Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls. He was able to see first-hand the potential that our area holds in job creation and economic development, a crucial message for a new Governor to receive.
The Governor and I also were joined by the newly appointed commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources, Tom Landwehr, and newly elected Representative Dan Fabian. This fall, Gov. Dayton made a promise to return to our area and listen to local concerns about government regulations that are hampering business development and creating red tape for local residents. The DNR commissioner was in tow specifically to discuss these concerns with county officials.
I've been working for years to change some of the unnecessary, burdensome regulations that our residents and businesses face, but state agencies haven't been very receptive in the past. This week's visit was a positive signal that the new Governor - and new agencies - hopefully will be open to policy changes that local officials have been requesting for years.
Chief among residents' concerns I've heard about is the requirement for new septic systems to rely on mound systems rather than trenches, a policy that could cost property owners thousands of additional dollars without any scientific proof that one system is superior to the other. These types of regulations make no sense. The state telling us to install septics that cost at least three times as much as what's really needed means extra money for individuals and businesses that already are being squeezed in this economy.
This is a good example of a very region-specific concern that is being micromanaged by the state. This week's gubernatorial visit allowed us to highlight why the state needs to begin reviewing some of these regulations that don't work so we can better focus on the ones that do.
In addition, our group discussed a list of ideas to improve government efficiency that have been compiled by several Northwest Minnesota counties. Some of those issues include:
· Merge overlapping divisions within the DNR, Board of Water and Soil Resources and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency that deal with waters of the state, eliminating overlap and creating a "one-stop-shop;"
· Create a Greater Minnesota Advisory Panel to regularly meet with the Governor and legislative leaders;
· Streamline the cumbersome permitting processes for wetlands, drainage, impaired waters and storm water pollution prevention;
· Halt any further state land acquisition and review the public value and management of currently owned lands;
· Allow DNR ditch and land taxes to be determined by a county assessor;
· Continue to support the state's portion of federal disaster funding for infrastructure to ensure flood mitigation needs are met.
While no promises can be made at this point as to what will be changed, I am planning to introduce legislation regarding many of these issues. With his visit this week, the Governor and Commissioner certainly have communicated their willingness to continue working with us on these concerns, a conversation I welcome as this legislative session develops.

Legendary actor Bob Hoskins dies of pneumonia aged 71
Updated 2:30pm Wednesday 30th April 2014 in News
Actor Bob Hoskins, known for roles in films such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Long Good Friday, has died from pneumonia at the age of 71.
The star, who landed a best actor Oscar nomination for Mona Lisa, retired from screen work in 2012 after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
His family released a statement saying he died last night in hospital.
His wife Linda and children Alex, Sarah, Rosa and Jack said: ''We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Bob.
"Bob died peacefully at hospital last night surrounded by family, following a bout of pneumonia.
"We ask that you respect our privacy during this time and thank you for your messages of love and support."
The star, who was born Suffolk after his mother was evacuated from the capital, grew up in north London and left school aged 15 to work in a series of odd jobs while dreaming of getting into acting.
He claimed he got his big break by accident after being mistakenly called for a theatre audition, but he proved a natural and stage success lead him into TV and small film parts.
His breakthrough role came in Dennis Potter's 1978 series Pennies From Heaven in which he played the lovelorn sheet music salesman Arthur Parker.
His portrayal of doomed London gangster Harold Shand in The Long Good Friday made him a film star and he followed it with stand-out roles in Mona Lisa and The Cotton Club.

Item: Liquid Water Distribution in a High Altitude Spring Snowpack
Title: Liquid Water Distribution in a High Altitude Spring Snowpack
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 1976 International Snow Science Workshop, Banff, Alberta
- T. Carroll
Date: 1976
Abstract: It is well known that liquid water within a snowpack reduces the mechanical strength of the snow (Wakahama, 1975) by reducing the number of ice-bonds between the snow grains. Because the mechanical and shear strength of snow may vary with its liquid water content, it is important to study the permeation process, flow rates, and distribution of liquid water within the snowpack. To demonstrate the reduced strength of snow in the presence of liquid water, Wakahama (1975) measured the hardness of the snowpack at different times. The hardness of the surface layer decreased remarkably as the liquid water content increased. The Kinosita hardness value diminished by a factor of 50 when the liquid water content increased from 0% by volume in the morning to 20-50% at noon (Wakahma, 1975).

Harpersfield Covered Bridge Metropark
The Harpersfield Covered Bridge Metropark is the most recognized park in the Geneva area. It is located on Harpersfield Road at the Grand River dam where many fishermen angle for trout (in spring and fall), bluegill, crappie, large- and smallmouth bass, etc. There are public picnic areas and pavilions on both sides of the river, plus recreational fields and public restrooms. Shallows below the dam provide children with hours of entertainment.
It is here that the annual Mad Hatters canoe race is launched each April with guidance and cooperation of our neighboring Lake Metroparks System. And, for those who are not up to the challenge of early spring "white water" canoeing, there is a canoe livery available for rentals if one doesn't own such a watercraft. For more information, or to register for the Mad Hatters canoe race, please contact the Lake Metroparks at (440) 358-7275 or 1-800-669-9226.

Going forward, both of you have big studio films in the works. How difficult is the transition from a small independent film like Bobby to a larger studio movie? Is that a tough transition to make?
Shia LaBeouf: "Oh my God, yes."
Brian Geraghty: "A quality project is different and it's about a different thing. There's very few moments that you get opportunity to act."
Shia LaBeouf: "Like A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints."
Brian Geraghty: "You get to act. I felt like there's a lot of sitting around [on studio films] and one day a week I get to act. This was every day we got to show up and act. Even the little scene with Susan [played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead] were fun. We'd f**k around, we'd turn around, and we'd improvise. [Larger films it's] like, 'All right, here's four lines. Here's my day to act.' The rest of it's f**king swimming. But I don't mind. I'd rather be doing that than anything else, but you just don't get the opportunity."
So independent films are definitely more appealing now?
Brian Geraghty: "They've always been like that. I went a different road. I audition for everything."
Shia LaBeouf: "Again, you've got to understand. I still haven't signed my contract. I haven't made a dollar off this movie. You've got to live. You've got to live."
Well, your next project is a huge studio film - Transformers
Shia LaBeouf: "Again, that's exactly what that is. If anyone tells you they do that for the art value, that's bulls**t. It's f**king painful. To go from Emilio Estevez to Michael Bay is like walking out of, you know, like in a hammock in the sky, hanging out drinking Pina Coladas with Jesus and then getting smacked in the face and thrown in the devil's s**pile and having to make a movie. I swear to God."
It affected you that much?
Shia LaBeouf: "I was thinking about quitting this industry. And Michael Bay will tell you that. He's so hard on his actors, and not in the way that Emilio might be, in that he'll push you to be something better. Mike is just f**king a hard a**."
Why didn't you walk off the set?
Shia LaBeouf: "Because it was too important to my career."
You'll never do that again.
Shia LaBeouf: "I mean, until 2 and 3. But just… Look, the four, five months of pain I went through might buy my mom a house and that's forever, so I'm all right. People go to f**king war, it's not like I have a hard job. I'm an actor. It's not the worst thing. We're sitting at a pool, I didn't pay for those shoes, I didn't pay for this. It's not a bad life, and for a guy that didn't have s**t going on. There's certain pains; it's a tradeoff like anything. There's things you don't want to do in your industry."
Brian Geraghty: "If it's important to you, it's going to be painful. I feel sh**ty complaining sometimes, but I complain because I strive to do films like Bobby. You get the perfect situation and then it goes away. …And all these movies now, I never really felt I could believe in myself and not hold myself back. Bobby is definitely a validation. You need reinforcement in life. You show up to an office every day, I wouldn't like to do that, but yet, you get feedback. You're going three months without a job go into a dark hole where you get off Transformers and go to the spiral that Shia had…"
Shia LaBeouf: "You get lost in a f**king weird depression, man."
How did you survive Transformers?
Shia LaBeouf: "I barely made it out of that movie. I was going to a heart specialist; I was having anxiety attacks, losing my mind. And you know, you're doing physical s**t all day. It's tough, man. And even Mike at the end, he was like, 'Look, I know I'm hard on you but you'll never get this again. If you can go through this with me, you can do anything.' Sort of like the whole, 'If you can live in New York you can live anywhere," type thing. Whatever doesn't kill you."
Shia, at this point in your career do you still have to audition?
Shia LaBeouf: "Of course I do. The Guide to Recognizing Your Saints guy wouldn't even see me. 'Let me come in, I'll f**king audition for you.' He wouldn't even see me. The guy didn't want to meet me at all. And I begged him, I begged him. I was the last person who read, but he didn't want to read me because also at the time I was the 'Disney' guy, the Kurt Russell or whatever they were trying to make. I had to break away and that was Guide and that was Bobby. But I'm trying to be Gary Oldman and Hilary Duff, so I've got to play a little bit of the politics. I've got to do Transformers – I have to - because there's a part of my audience that's not gonna go see Bobby or see A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. Part of that audience won't see it."
It's pretty much a sure bet your audience will follow you to Transformers.
Shia LaBeouf: "Yeah. The biggest movie in Hollywood. You don't get bigger than $250 million robots blowing up the world. I don't plan on making any other – I mean, I'm going to do Transformers 2 and 3 so that will be my Lord of the Rings."
You've signed on to 2 and 3?
Shia LaBeouf: "Yeah, I'm gonna do it. That will be my Lord of the Rings and then I'll just make indies the rest of my time, for a long time. Elijah [Wood's] straight. Elijah can do whatever he wants. Why? Because he's in one of the biggest, the top five grossers ever. People in China know who he is and people in Iceland know who he is. He can do whatever he wants. That's my whole thing is I've got to get to the point where people in Iceland will go see Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. That's what I'm trying to do.
It's a tough deal but again, it was tough to go from the kid thing to the adult thing. That was the toughest jump you can do in this business."

"Let's try to do this in a manner that doesn't end up all over the YouTube, if we can," he said. " ... Obviously I was very frustrated by what had happened during the game, and I let my emotions get away from me."

Visual Props About Physiologics Contact Event Calendar
Physiologics provides health professionals, gyms/yoga studios, schools, coaches, and wellness centers with innovative instructional techniques and educational materials for training staff and instructing members, students, or athletes. All lessons and programs utilize specialized visual props, graphics, videos, and schematics.
For 20-plus years, inventor and exercise physiologist Ed Watson has created educational materials and visual props for teaching principles of exercise physiology, applied nutrition, and functional medical biochemistry – with the expressed purpose to provide practical applications for both teachers and the end-user/client.
Art, metaphor, and introducing people to the origins of nutritional/exercise physiology studies meet applied biophysics – with the aim of improving peoples' health, physical performance and recovery, nutritional knowledge, and satisfaction.
The Carbohydrate Continuum Volvelle. Volvelles are handheld 'manual computers' which decode and convert 'hidden' mathematical formulas into easily grasped visual forms – for a specific application, e.g. color wheels, star charts, etc. Rotating the volvelle translates the body's selective depletion of fuel substrates at specific workloads into images of corresponding types of movement. In turn, the pie charts show how the relative and absolute caloric intake of macronutrients must change with intensity and activity. See the video below to see how it works.
The 'Muscle Cell': This image is from my book, The Physical Rules.
Consider the fact 'hot colors' on a weather map express 'hot temperatures'. You feel temperature concretely even though you do not see 'faster molecular vibration' of air molecules.
Thus, just as color is used to express temperature and conceive specific intensities of air molecules 'vibrating', the shade of food coloring in the 'cells' expresses nutritional, glycolytic demand of a cell - or metabolic rate of a cell as it actively occurs at specific intensity rates within the cytosol. The candles represent mitochondria, where oxidative metabolism occurs.
I use the cell props to integrate principles of exercise physiology, nutrition, micro and macro anatomy, and more. Early lessons allow athletes and students to visualize the rate of glycogen depletion and lactate production associated with specific intensity levels, everyday activities, and physical sensations.

(12/03/13) - Michael Lawrence, the man police called "public enemy number one," will stand trial for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Angelica Olivarez.
A judge decided, Tuesday, there was enough evidence to send the case to trial.
Police believe Lawrence strangled Olivarez in April, months after he allegedly shot and killed 6-year-old Layla Jones.
Lawrence is scheduled to go to trial for Jones' death this month.

Author, veteran focuses on environment
A war veteran and wilderness-lover shared his stories of grizzly bears and Vietnam with a book reading Oct. 23 and a lecture Oct. 24. Through his tales, Doug Peacock presented an urgent message about conserving the Earth.
"He's close friends with some of my heroes, and he's one of my own heroes," said David Sumner, assistant professor of English, before introducing Peacock.
Peacock is a nationally known author and environmental crusader. He has written several memoirs about his experiences in the wild and at war. He is also a strong advocate for preserving the environment, saying his legacy is the wilderness and importance of conserving it. Peacock calls the environmental issues today the real war of the world.
"No one is talking in these election days about the things I think are important: the health and economy of the planet," Peacock said. "This underlies all human activities and what supports it. We're not taking a good look at what lies in the survival of our species: our planet, which is really in peril."
Peacock quit college multiple times after every semester because he felt uncomfortable out of the wild. He wasn't married or a full-time student, so after dodging the draft three times, he finally decided to enlist. He enjoyed the Central Highlands, which he describes as the most beautiful mountain range in Vietnam, but he looked at his map of Yellowstone almost every night.
"The war wasn't always terrible. I loved the country, I loved the people," Peacock said.
After returning from the Vietnam War, where he served as a Green Beret Medic for two years, Peacock found solace in the wilderness where he belonged. He headed back to the western wild, frequenting the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone.
"I came back feeling out of sorts, and I couldn't be around people," Peacock said.
Peacock took his refuge camping in the Yellowstone wilderness, where he witnessed his first mother grizzly bear.
He was soaking in a hot spring and trying to break a fever when he saw the bear and her cubs standing a mere 250 feet away. He tried to escape and blacked out from the severe temperature change, smacking his head. He came to, climbed a tree and waited for them to go away, hoping they wouldn't notice him, bleeding and freezing in the tree.
"So I started hanging out with the grizzlies," Peacock said.
In 1968, he tracked an alpha grizzly for months. He became an advocate for the grizzlies when they were in trouble in Yellowstone.
He filmed the bears and wrote about them, making their plight known to the public. He appeared on many national television shows and even took Arnold Schwarzenegger to see the bears, all in attempts to save them.
Author Edward Abbey, Peacock's longtime friend and fellow environmentalist, has said, "Now, more than ever before, the only thing I can see worth saving is wilderness."
Abbey and Peacock spent months together in the wilderness. Peacock was the inspiration for Abbey's character George Washington Hayduke in his book "The Monkey Wrench Gang." Abbey described Peacock as a "determined and crazy Vietnam vet."
When Abbey died, Peacock and a few other friends buried him in the Southwest Arizona desert in an illegal grave. After digging it, Peacock laid in the grave to determine if it was right. He decided it was meant to be when he saw Abbey's spirit animal, the vulture, circling overhead.
"The lines between life and death had blurred for me," Peacock said. "The real Hayduke was buried."

(for printing @ home) (for printing as a photo)
This month's Visiting Teaching Message is titled: Converted unto the Lord.
"It takes attentive friends to make new members feel comfortable and welcomed at church."
"Capture the vision that the Relief Society… can become [one of] the most powerful friendshipping resouces[s] we have in the Church. Reach out early to those being taught and reactivated, and love them into the Church through your organization."
This months message really hit home with me. I just moved into a branch, and I don't live close to many people. Outside of my family, sometimes the only interaction I have with people comes from attending Church on Sunday. It is SO important to reach out to women in your ward. If you see a new face, introduce yourself. If someone is sitting on their own, take the chair next to them. I know it can be scary to say hello to new people, but it will enrich your life so much if you put forth the effort. ~ Caroline

Sean Thompson
About me…Always looking to improve my practice of ICT integration across the curriculum, learn and share new things, I am presently involved in a course of study for a post-graduate certificate of educational technology and information literacy. My studies have illustrated to me the importance of new media in education and the necessity of empowering students with the skills to both use them effectively and to learn how to better direct their own learning. It has further underlined for me how inextricably interwoven effective use of new media and development of collaborative skills are becoming. Having worked with students from K – 12 for years I have a real respect for the necessity of an articulated integration curriculum from a whole school standpoint. I am excited to announce my new position at Doshisha International School, Kyoto. To learn more about me please feel free to view my Hub, the website where I am currently updating my online creations.

Two days of rain has caused a block-long section of street to collapse in Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood, swallowing cars and forcing the evacuation of several homes. Take a look at images of the extensive damage.
This is what the street looked like before the collapse, according to Google maps.
The view just moments before the cars begin to slide over the edge.
A view from the other side of the train tracks.
Here, the street is collapsing further.
"Here is a photo that I took of 26th Street before it collapsed. The cement wall and fence to the right, along with the parked cars above on the road, gave way to the rain. Pictured is the CSX train as it passes through the tunnel," Charles Village resident Brent Bederka said.
A giant crack can be seen in the road where the pavement is giving way.
Cars begin to teeter on the end of the roadway.

A recent California lottery winner feeling charitable gave away a lottery ticket to a stranger last week as a kind gesture, but after finding it was a $250,000 winner, she's now asking for the ticket back.
Emily Leach had won $1 million through the lottery in January, and had taken to performing random acts of kindness at the store where she won the ticket, according to the San Jose Mercury News. Last week, while turning in Scratchers cards at the register, Leach offered $100 to one of the men waiting in line.
"During that transaction, she either unintentionally handed the stranger a Mega Millions ticket she had just bought, or made him the lucky recipient of some truly astounding generosity," writes the Mercury News.
Surveillance video will apparently settle the dispute, as the California lottery commission's security department is investigating the footage.

This book describes new biomaterials based on nanostructural chemically bonded bioceramics. They are widely used as general construction materials, but have also found new applications as biomaterials. These biomaterials are produced in situ and in vivo mainly using hydration reactions, which are reactions between phosphates, silicates, or aluminates and water. The text treats general and specific properties of these materials in detail and also describes the potential application area for these new materials.
Stomatognathic System
Corrosion of Metallic Biomaterials and Implants
Nanostructured Stainless Steels
Ti-Based Ceramic Nanocomposities
Shape Memory TiNi Materials
Surface Treatment of Ti-Based Nanomaterials
Carbon Materials

Is it just me, or do I have no desire to use a Metro app on a desktop...
[Start rant]
Sorry for the rant, but I have so much patience for Windows and Microsoft but there isn't a single cell in my body that wants to use Metro on my desktop PC.
I have been a 'Microsoft' guy for eons now, and I have always used PC's at work, school and at home. I tried a mac a couple of years back, but the apple OS just felt like a superficial layer on top of a PC which was locked down. I was used to toggling with registry settings, small little things that I liked to do. Apple didn't provide me with that.
I'm in my late 20's and my first PC was right around Windows XP was first released. I bought a desktop to which I had upgraded XP to Vista (I was closely following all the little increments of build numbers, Release Candidates etc), I did the same with Windows 7 and with Windows 8 (All on the same PC). I downloaded Windows 8 Consumer preview and the RC, each download thinking "Oh, this is cool, but its clearly not finished and they'll change a lot before they release it"...then they released it and not a lot had changed. Why would I use Xbox music when I have my Zune player, why would I use the Mail metro app when I have Windows Live Mail. Both apps are, in my eyes, better than the Metro equivalents.
I understand the reasoning behind Windows 8. Apple and Google obviously have a boat load of developers clambering over themselves to make apps for their phones and tablets, therefore Windows 8 was made to give developers a incredible opportunity to develop for millions and millions of potential customers using Windows 8, where the code would be easy to alter to change it into a tablet or phone app. To prime the pump. The only problem is, it is currently not working.
Windows 8 has been out for how long now, 6 months, and how many apps has it got? 50,000?
I'm sure that is an incredible growth by any standards, any standards apart from Mircosoft. The point was to attract developers to their tablets and phones as well as the desktop. How many more developers has windows phone 8 gotten from windows 8? How many quality apps are out there on Windows 8? How many new and exciting indie developers are out there developing for Windows 8 and Windows phone 8?
As a personal example, I'm a self-confessed Microsoft guy, and through very fortunate circumstances had the opportunity to get a Surface Pro basically for free. I, like some people, don't need a tablet. I have a Sony laptop running Windows 7 that works wonderfully well, although is 2 years old, but there is no need to buy a new one, nevermind a laptop/tablet that the surface pro is. But there was very little desire to buy the surface pro. The main reason being that the Surface is all about the Metro environment, but I can do everything I want (and probably better) without Metro.
Maybe Windows 8 just isn't for me, and Windows Blue will ease all of my concerns and have me fighting over the next Microsoft product, but I doubt it.
I'm just a bit concerned, as Apple and Google (Apple more so) have quality/killer apps that drive phone/tablet purchases. When will we get Snapchat, Punch Quest, Temple Run 2, Candy crush saga, Flipboard, Clear, #music twitter app??? I don't know whats going on, developer wise, but its not like Apple are getting all of the apps, Google are getting 80% of the apps and Windows are getting 50% of the apps, its like Windows isn't getting any apps at all. Is it that much harder to develop for Windows?? Are the rates of phone/tablet sales that low??
What I want to know is how many people are out there buying Windows 8 pc. I don't mean what are the current sales numbers, because they will have numbers for businesses within them etc. I want to know consumer sales. I want to know how many people are seeing the ads, going to their local Best buy, picking up a Windows 8 pc or laptop or tablet, getting home turning it on and thinking "Yes, this is exactly what I want"
Side note: Do developers for Windows 8/Windows Phone 8 need a windows 8 machine to develop for the platform?

Ayelet Waldman, 'Bad Mother'
At the moment, Ayelet Waldman's biggest fear is mountain lions. Specifically, having her throat ripped out by one. She's also afraid of sharks and, dare she say it, her husband, Michael Chabon, dying of cancer. While we sit talking in the writing studio in the couple's backyard, an earthquake (maybe around 4.0) rattles the floorboards and the windowpanes. Waldman is explaining how she got into the mommy business. She's talking pretty fast, like the Jersey girl, Wesleyan smarty-pants, Harvard Law School, former public defender, mother of four she is and doesn't even notice the earthquake. I repeat: doesn't even notice the earthquake -- thinks it's her neighbor's vacuum cleaner.

Who is this "elections administrator" that "submitted the list of people eligible to serve?"
What were the qualifications to be, 'on this list?'
I am sure glad that the hard work of raising everybody's taxes has been done ... before next week's planned 'retreat and conference.' Now the board can concentrate on important matters, such as what kind of bigger & better parking lot markers to build.
Are the board of trustees:
1. 'Trustees' for the taxpayers? They just raised everyones taxes.
2. 'Trustees' for the students? They just raised tuition and forced even bigger student loans on the kids.
or ....
3. 'Trustees' for the tenured professors & employees of VC? They just gave one of the highest compensated groups in town a raise with taxpayer money.
Each reader can judge who these people serve.

Lots of people said they wanted the .pdf version of the 2011 Baseball Prospect Book....well, it's been available for over a week, but not as many people have ordered it as said they were going to! Order now! You'll have it within 24 hours.
We still have some hard-copy books left too, but there are fewer than 50 remaining and there won't be a reprint, so if you want a book, you need to do so soon before they run out.

A well-known chef has died.
Chef Robert Wong, owner of the Bridge Road Bistro in Charleston, died suddenly on Tuesday afternoon. Friends of the family said he was playing tennis at the Charleston Tennis Club right before he collapsed during a game.
He was immediately taken to CAMC General Hospital.
Wong is originally from San Francisco, California. He began his culinary career in an apprentice program at The Greenbrier Resort. Wong's work was also featured at Glade Springs, Snowshoe Mountain and in Morgantown at his restaurant, The Boathouse Bistro.
He and his wife, Sherri, opened Bridge Road Bistro in the South Hills area of Charleston in 2004.
Wong was an active member of the Christ Church United Methodist in Charleston, according to family friends. He was involved in a number of community outreach programs, including "Breaking Bread" which helped to provide meals to those in need.
Reverend Randy Flanagan was with the Wong family on Tuesday evening, according to his daughter, Catherine Flanagan.
Robert Wong was 50 years old. He's survived by his wife, Sherri, and their two sons, Joe and Jeff.
The Bridge Road Bistro placed the following statement on its Facebook page Tuesday night.
"We are very saddened today with the loss of our Exceptional Leader, Husband, Father, Friend, Leader and our Owner-Chef Robert Wong. Our hearts are so heavy. Please keep the Love of his Life- Sherri Wong, and his Pride & Joy sons-Joe & Jeffrey, along with our Bridge Road Bistro family in your prayers. We love you Chef Robert Wong. God Bless."
Funeral arrangements are pending.

There's More
To Women Than Reproductive Organs We are more
than baby makers.
beating down of women is very much alive in congress today, but not
by the republicans, as the democrats would have you think. I say
that the modern day oppression of women in this country is
by congressional democrats.Democrats in Washington made it very clear during
the health care debate. While fighting for women to have control
over our own reproductive organs (as if we did not already), they
had no problem with handing over mega control of our
entire health care to the federal
do not really care about the health care rights of the average
American woman. If they did, they would care about more
than just her rights to control her own reproductive
organs. We are more than baby makers. And I would
thank the liberals in D.C. to stop behaving as if the only
parts of women's bodies that matter are our reproductive

White Sox Payroll
I found an awesome spread sheet on the White Sox's payroll for the next 3 years on soxtalk.com.
And it looks like we are seriously cutting back not just this year but over the next few years as well. However, there were a couple of changes in the spreadsheet that I would make. For example, I would include Dyes' and Thorntons' contracts to the 2010 season since there is no way the Sox will buy out Thornton or JD in my opinion (who's going to play in his place?)
So I took it to myself to make my own spread sheet based off the one above.
For the estimated arb contracts, I included Gavin's newly inked contract, based Danks arb off of Lester's contract, based Quentin's arb off of Utely's contract (they potentially have very similar power numbers), based Carrasco's arb off of Thorntons contract, based Jenks arb off of K Rod's contract, based Fields arb off of Crede's contract, and completely ignored Jerry Owens arb. I doubled Dewayne's arb from the previous season, and doubled Anderson's arb off of that. I also copied Betemit's arb from this year.
2010 Contracts (in millions)
1.3 Betemit
14 Buehrle
12 Dye
12 Konerko
5 Linebrink
6.25 Pierzynski
1.1 Ramirez
2.25 Matt Thornton
1.25 Viciedo
2.75 Floyd
1 Wise
.35 MacDougal buyout
Arb (Educated Guesses)
2 Anderson
2.5 Carrasco
3.75 Danks
4.5 Quentin
7 Jenks
4.5 at .5 mill for 9 players needed to fill 25 player roster
Total: 83.5 million
14 Buehrle
5.5 Linebrink
1.1 Ramirez
1.25 Viciedo
3 Thornton
4.75 Floyd
Arb (Educated Guesses)
1.3 Betemit
1 Wise
3 Anderson
3 Carrasco
5.75 Danks
2.5 Fields
7.5 Quentin
10 Jenks
6.5 at 11 players at .5 M needed to fill out 25 man roster
Total: 69.15 million
69.15 Million in 2011 is not a bad drop off from 121 million in 08. The Sox will have about halved their payroll, dropping them from the 6 spot out of 30 teams into the 20th spot (of 2008 payrolls). That would put them below the Padres of 08, and above the Rockies of 08.
This is potentially a good development since the Sox are phasing out the veterans and bringing in the new kids who can play. Cheaper payroll is not a sure sign of improving from an expensive veteran team, but in this case, with recent excellent drafts and the Sox's now top heavy farm system, fans can look to the future for a dominant young core team that will hang around for several years. The Chicago White Sox are getting younger, faster, cheaper, and better.
Here comes an Ozzieball World Series in 2011.

MemoryWalk2007 by TeamBlueBirds - almost 7 years ago
"The event this was taken at was the 2007 memory walk for alzheimers research. I formed a team for my grandmother who has had alzheimers for the last 11 years. My mother, and me have been my grandmothers primary caregivers along with my aunt. This year however has been a tough year and each moment that we have left is a very special one. When I formed this team I chose the name bluebirds because my grandmother loved sitting and watching the birds everyone day at her house and her favorite was the blue birds! I had the most wonderful experience with customink and will use them each year that we walk in this most awsome event!The staff was very helpful each step of the way and the website was so easy that I had no problem designing the tshirt that I had envisioned! Thank you custom ink for this wonderful experience!"
