Seanad Éireann - Volume 185 - 22 November, 2006
Schools Refurbishment.
Mr. Browne Mr. Browne
Mr. Browne: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. Perhaps he has not been to the promised land of Carlow as often as he should but if he goes to Old Leighlin, he will see a fantastic community hall based in a magnificent old cathedral in the middle of a small, rural parish. It is one of the best examples of a community hall in the entire country and it was built by local people. It has excellent basketball courts and [488]other facilities and demonstrates the positive outlook of the local community.
Old Leighlin national school has submitted applications to the Department of Education and Science under the permanent accommodation scheme 2007 and for grant aid for major works. In 2002 the school was granted funding for a new classroom under the devolved scheme the Department was piloting at the time. Thankfully the school now needs another teacher and will require accommodation for the new class in September 2007, hence the application under the permanent accommodation scheme.
The second application is the most pressing in terms of addressing the current needs of the school. It has grown from an enrolment of 73 pupils in 2001 to 116 this year and current projections suggest this figure will increase. The school is situated a mile from the village of Old Leighlin on an isolated site and it is vital it be given accommodation to implement the physical education curriculum and to organise whole school activities. Staff and students are at a disadvantage when implementing the music, drama and PE curricula.
I referred to the spectacular community hall but it is too far away to take the children on a regular basis. The school community is supportive and progressive and I hope the Minister of State can give me some good news tonight about this application.
Mr. B. O'Keeffe Mr. B. OKeeffe
Mr. B. O'Keeffe: I thank the Senator for raising this matter as it provides me with the opportunity to outline to the Seanad the progress being made by the Department of Education and Science under the school building and modernisation programme and to outline the position on capital funding applications from scoil náisiúnta Molaise, Old Leighlin, County Carlow.
Modernising facilities in our 3,200 primary and 750 post primary schools is not an easy task given the legacy of decades of under-investment in this area and the need to respond to emerging needs in areas of rapid population growth. Nonetheless, since taking office, this Government has shown a sincere determination to improve the condition of our school buildings and to ensure the appropriate facilities are in place to enable the implementation of a broad and balanced curriculum.
This Government has invested in the largest school building programme in the history of the State. Between 1998 and the end of 2004, almost €2 billion was invested in school buildings, which represents a fivefold increase in capital allocations. In the region of 7,500 large and small projects were completed in schools in this period, including 130 brand new schools and 510 large scale refurbishments and extensions. To build on this extensive progress, in 2006 more than €491 million will be spent on school building projects, [489]compared to just €92 million in 1997. The 2006 allocation in its own right is an increase of more than 9% in real terms on the 2005 allocation.
At the end of last year, the Department outlined its spending plans for primary and post-primary schools for 2006. With €491 million to be spent on school buildings, more than 1,300 projects are active in schools all over the country. This significant investment will allow the Department to continue to progress its major programme of school building and modernisation which includes improving equipment needed for new technologies and ICT.
With regard to scoil náisiúnta Molaise, Old Leighlin, the Department is in receipt of two applications for capital funding, one under the permanent accommodation scheme for 2007 and one under the small schools scheme for 2007. The closing date for receipt of applications for both of these devolved funding schemes was 27 October 2006. The Department is now in the process of assessing the applications of all schools that applied under these schemes according to the published prioritisation criteria. A list of successful schools will be published when the assessment process has been completed.
I thank the Senator once again for raising this issue and affording me the opportunity to outline to the Seanad the position for the school's applications to the Department of Education and Science for capital funding and where all applications under the schemes concerned stand.

Hi I have HD Radeon 6950 2GB Graphic card.I have updated from catalist 12.1 to 13.1 and now his serial changed from " HD Radeon 6950 2GB " into "0x1002-0x6719 PCIE" What is it? is it good?bad?and why did this happened and how?
It's not something you have to worry about, unless it stopped working at the same time. It's just a registry entry. You can change it, if you really want to, though it's not worth the effort.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 810 @ 3120MHz | RAM: Kingmax 2x2GB DDR2 800 @ 833MHz| MoBo: MSI K9A2 CF v1.0 (BIOS: 1.D)| GPU: Asus HD 6850 1024MB (DirectCu) @ 835/1135MHz | Display: L24FHD | PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad | OS: MS Windows 3.11 Pro x64
Can you tell me how to change? I Would really like to change it and put the old value but i dont know what value to put in and where its place to change the value
Easiest solution:
I would download both 12.1 and 13.1, extract them, and compare the 2 .inf files with Total Commander. The location of the missing entry should be visible then, and it should be possible to add it using notepad or any text editor. Then a driver update would refresh the not-so-easy-to-find registry entry.
Can you bring to me the specific file or pictures of instructions?

Target Recalls Floor Lamps Due to Reports of Fires and Injuries
09/04/2013 // WPB, FL, USA // Injury Lawyers News // Nicole Howley // (press release)
New York, N.Y.—The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Health Canada and Target have voluntarily recalled White 2-Bulb Floor Lamps for fire and shock hazards posed to consumers. The CPSC announced the nationwide product recall on September 3, 2013.
The lamps were recalled after discovering that when a standard one-way bulb is fully tightened in the lamp's socket, it can short and pose a fire and shock hazard to consumers.
"This recall includes white plastic, turned-spindle design floor lamps with white fabric drum lamp shades and two 3-way pull-chain switches. Lamp is illuminated by two 3-way 100-watt or 29-watt CFL bulbs and stands approximately 60 inches tall. The model number PL1071 is located on a sticker on the bottom of the lamp," the CPSC reported.
Consumers are advised to any Target store for a full refund.
At this time there have been six reports of the lamps short circuiting and causing fires that resulted in minor property damage, as well as two consumers who were shocked.
For more information about the nationwide product recall, consumers can contact Target at (800) 440-0680 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or online at www.target.com.

ConAgra Foods To Acquire Ralcorp, The Largest Private Label Food Manufacturer In The U.S., For $90 Per Share In Cash
Kevin J. Hunt, chief executive officer and president of Ralcorp, said, "We are proud of Ralcorp's track record of shareholder value creation and view this transaction as the culmination of those efforts. This combination delivers immediate and compelling cash value to our shareholders and benefits to our customers and employees. We believe the two companies are a great fit, and our employees will benefit as part of a larger diversified organization with the necessary scale and resources to be a leader in today's rapidly evolving marketplace. On behalf of the Ralcorp Board and management team, we thank our dedicated employees for their continued hard work, which has enabled us to grow Ralcorp to a position of strength with our many private label offerings across both retail and commercial channels. We look forward to joining with ConAgra Foods to complete this exciting transaction and capitalize on our future growth opportunities."
Strong Strategic Rationale
The acquisition of Ralcorp adds to ConAgra Foods' existing private label business of approximately $950 million to create the largest private label packaged food business in North America, with approximately $4.5 billion in combined annual private label sales. Ralcorp fits well with ConAgra Foods' Recipe for Growth strategy, set 18 months ago, which includes expansion in the private label segment, growth in its core business and adjacencies, and expansion internationally. According to industry analysts, private label now represents 18% of sales in the packaged food market in the U.S. and has consistently demonstrated growth in excess of the overall food market over time. ConAgra Foods' combination with Ralcorp creates an enhanced platform that will allow ConAgra Foods to capitalize on, and contribute to, that compelling long-term growth trend while generating significant efficiencies.
Ralcorp has strengthened its leadership position in private label through recent strategic acquisitions and enhanced customer relationships. The two companies' portfolios are a complementary fit, with very little overlap in terms of offerings. Ralcorp's leading private label offerings include cereal, pasta, crackers, jellies and jams, syrups, frozen waffles, and more. Ralcorp's total annual sales of approximately $4.3 billion also include a branded and commercial / foodservice portfolio.

U.S. orders suicidal action warning on epilepsy drugs
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Makers of epilepsy drugs must add a warning that the medicines carry a risk of suicidal thoughts or actions, U.S. health officials said on Tuesday.
The companies also must develop a patient-friendly guide explaining risks, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.
Analysis of 199 clinical trials of 11 anti-epileptic drugs found twice the risk of suicidal behavior or thoughts with the drugs compared to a placebo, the FDA said.
The increase represented about one additional case of suicidal thinking or behavior for every 530 patients treated with one of the medicines, the FDA said.
"The risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior was generally consistent among the eleven drugs analyzed and was observed in patients who were treated for epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, and other conditions," the agency said.
Epilepsy drugs include Pfizer Inc's Lyrica and Neurontin, GlaxoSmithKline PLC's Lamictal and Johnson & Johnson's Topamax.
Glaxo believes the findings of the FDA analysis should be added to the labels of epilepsy drugs, company spokeswoman Sarah Alspach said, adding Glaxo would review the FDA action.
Topamax already includes information about suicidal behavior in its prescribing instructions, said Tricia Geoghegan, a spokeswoman for J&J unit Ortho-McNeil Neurologics Inc. "We will continue to work with the FDA to make sure any changes they request are in there," she said.
A Pfizer spokesman had no immediate comment.

SPEAKERS:Skip Nelson, ADS-B Technologies
CHAIR/MODERATOR:Charles E. Schlumberger, Lead Air Transport Specialist, Transport AnchorDESCRIPTION:Efficient and safe air transport services have become a basic ingredient for economic development around the world. However, the industry has come under increased scrutiny given its growing environmental impact, especially fostering the effect of climate change by its CO2 emissions. One of the low hanging fruits of reducing CO2 emissions are measures achieving fuel efficiency in flight operations. More direct routings or continuous descent approaches are two examples of effectively introducing such measures.
In terms of safety, air transportation has reached a remarkable record. Nevertheless, air traffic surveillance in developing countries is generally very modest as many states cannot afford radar coverage for effective surveillance. As a result, many emerging are still controlled by "procedural air traffic control", which is inefficient and less accurate.
New surveillance technologies, so called Automatic Dependance Surveillance System Broadcast (ADS-B), are currently deployed in the US and some other areas around the world. These new, innovative technologies provide very accurate surveillance capability at a fraction of the cost of traditional radar systems (compare it with the introduction of cell phones, substituting land lines). The Bank is currently preparing a few air transport infrastructure projects with components for the introduction of ADS-B.
Come and join us to discuss this innovative approach. Skip Nelson of ADS-B Technologies will present some recent installations in China, the experiences in Alaska, and developments on long-haul oceanic routes that greatly improve efficiency.
Please note that the BBL starts at 12:00 sharp, and has to end at 13:00 due to other commitments.

TO GO WITH Mozambique-economy-poverty-social,FEATURE BY JINTY JACKSON (FILES) A file photo taken on October 14, 2014 shows a people sifting through garbage at the Maputo municipal garbage dump site in Maputo. In a foul-smelling, brown fog, hundreds of stooped figures pick their way like ghosts across an ocean of garbage while herons wheel and dive over their heads. More than 900 tons of waste are dumped daily in this landfill in Mozambique's capital, Maputo, a city of more than a million people. Over an area the size of 17 football fields, layer upon layer of garbage is piled as high as a three-storey building. In places, it spills over into the surrounding residential neighbourhood. The southern African country has been ranked among the 10 fastest-growing economies in the world over the past decade, even before significant dividends from the fossil fuels have begun to flow in.

Ismail, Nor Anita Fairos (2002) Classification of the Aesthetics Formula and Generating the Screen Designs for Balance Principle. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
An important aspect of screen design is aesthetic evaluation of screen layouts. Screen designs aesthetic plays a greater role in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). It is important to understand what characteristics of screens that influence user acceptance. Therefore, we required tools and principles for evaluating aesthetic of screen designs. However, no one knows how to measure aesthetic value of screen designs accurately. Ngo et. al.'s [D. C. L. Ngo et al, 1998-2001] has been proposed an interface aesthetics evaluation model and derived fourteen aesthetical measures for graphical screen design: Balance, Equilibrium Symmetry, Sequence, Cohesion, Unity, Proportion, Simplicity, Density, Regularity, Economy, Homogeneity, Rhythm, Order and Complexity. Based on the related work in field of screen design aesthetic, we were classified these fourteen aesthetic characteristics into three basic principles design in screen appearance (screen aesthetic): Balance, Unity and Movement. The end of this study, we transfer the mathematical theory for balance principle into a screen layout. The reason we carried out this study is there are none classification on aesthetic characteristic of screen design has been done before.

NOTE: The photo above is how the dish turned out in the My Last Supper kitchen, and may look different than as envisioned by the original chef.
This chicken turned out really juicy, probably because of the white wine. Next time, I will save some fresh rosemary branches to garnish the chicken when I serve it. Definitely make it when you want to impress someone because the house smelled divine.

Rajesh Puri, vice president of white goods major Electrolux India (Mumbai, India), has resigned from his position after joining the company in August 2003 from Om Kotak Mahindra Insurance.
Mr. Puri was not available for comment, but Rajeev Karwal, Electrolux India's CEO, cited health reasons for Mr Puri's exit.
In other news, Electrolux India is working to make a market comeback after a long period of restructuring. The company has launched a high-decibel advertising strategy to reposition its branding as Electrolux from the previous Electrolux Kelvinator.
The parent, Swedish-based AB Electrolux, is keenly following the progress of the Indian subsidiary, which serves two of the biggest Asian markets, India and China.
Although the company's proposed Rs 200-crore rights issue is delayed, it has finalized a restructuring program starting next year to reposition the brand. It also plans to launch new products such as air-conditioners and increase its research and development team. Company sources said AB Electrolux has committed financial support during the interim period until the rights issue hits the market to help the company's growth strategy to turn profit-making.
Apart from managerial changes, the company, which opted for an open VRS early this year, is looking to further cut costs. Electrolux also plans to venture into the microwave ovens and air-conditioners during the current year. (FT.com)

In a large portion of Montana, bears and lions inhabit the same areas. Carrying, and knowing how to use, bear spray can help help deter an aggresive enounter with large predators. Bear spray may help to deter an attacking lion. Recently, an FWP mountain lion biologist and field technicians used bear spray to successfully turn away an attacking lion.
Bear spray is a one-to-two percent concentration of oleoresin capsicum and related capsaicinoids, a mixture produced when burning compounds, which naturally occur in hot red peppers, are extracted. This irritating substance causes the membranes of the eyes, nose and lungs to swell. The result is a temporary, but nearly total, loss of sight and a restriction in one's ability to breathe. The product is designed to turn back an attacking grizzly bear, or to shorten the length and severity of an attack. The EPA regulates bear sprays and requires it be packaged in at minimum a 7.9 ounce size can.
Until now, there was no evidence on how bear spray might affect a mountain lion and whether it would diffuse a potentially dangerous situation.
Here are what Montana's wildlife managers say are the minimum requirements for the effective use of bear spray to deter mountain lions.
Other features that impact how the bear spray works including the weather, and in particular, the wind's ability to move and disperse the orange cloud of active ingredients. Learn which bear spray to purchase and how to use it to deter bears specifically. [Learn more]
Rich DeSimone, an FWP mountain lion researcher, had an experience where bear spray spared an experienced lion hound and most likely protected two FWP lion researchers from a 120 pound radio-collared female lion. [Read the story]

The size of board you decide to ride is more based off of your weight then your height. You could ride anything from a 149 to a 153. I would stick around 149 for sure.

The 6'4", 215lbs defenseman was named to the OHL All-Rookie Team in 1999-2000 and spent three seasons on the Knights blue line, accumulating more than 650 penalty minutes. Not known for his offensive prowess, Erskine had a career high 43 points during his final year in London before joining Dallas' IHL affiliate in Utah for the 2000-01 season.
In his first season of professional hockey, the hulking defenseman led all Grizzlies players in penalty minutes with 284 and finished third in the IHL.
Erskine made his NHL debut with the Stars in 2001-02, and went on to split the season with Dallas and Utah. Erskine spent most of the 2002-03 season with the Utah Grizzlies, seeing limited action with Dallas before being sidelined for the better part of the 2003-04 season, recovering from injuries.
Following a lockout year in 2004-05, Erskine returned to the Stars lineup in 2005-06 before being dealt to the New York Islanders in early January for defenseman Janne Niinima.

infinoted is a dedicated infinote server that is contained in libinfinity. It replaces Sobby since the Gobby 0.5 series.
By default, infinoted uses TLS to encrypt data sent through the network. For that, it needs a private key and a server certificate to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. The -k and -c options of infinoted specify the key file or the certificate file, respectively. If you want to get going quickly without worrying too much about this, you basically have two options:
- Turn off TLS by passing --security-policy=no-tls to infinoted.
- Let infinoted create a key and a self-signed certificate, using the --create-key and --create-certificate switches. The common name of the certificate will be set to the host name of the computer. The -k and -c options specify where the created key and certificate are stored. Creating the key may take a while, so be patient. If you need anything more fancy, you can also use gnutls's certtool.
Config files
infinoted reads /etc/xdg/infinoted.conf and ~/.config/infinoted.conf (in that order, options specified in the latter file overwrite the ones from the former file), or %APPDATA%/infinoted.conf on Windows. It's GKeyFile format. Options from the command line overwrite config file options. All options need to be in the infinoted group. Allowed options are:
- root-directory [filename]: The directory within which to store the documents on the server. Defaults to ~/.infinote if not given. Same as "-r" command line option.
- security-policy [no-tls|allow-tls|require-tls]: no-tls does not require a private key/certificate pair. require-tls requires clients to use TLS, whereas allow-tls allows them to choose not to use it. Same as --security-policy command line option.
- certificate-file [filename]: The certificate to use for TLS. Must be an absolute path. Same as -c command line option.
- key-file [filename]: The private key to use for TLS. Must be an absolute path. Same as -k command line option.
- autosave-interval [integral positive number] (Since infinoted 0.2): Interval in seconds within which to save modified documents to permanent storage. Set to 0 to disable autosave.
- certificate-chain [filename] (Since infinoted 0.3): Specifies the certificate chain down to the root certificate. This may be used if the chain is not already present in the file specified by --certificate-file.
- password [string] (Since infinoted 0.4): Global server password. If set, then each client needs to provide this password in order to connect.
- sync-directory [filename] (Since infinoted 0.4): A directory into which a copy of the document tree is stored periodically.
- sync-interval [integral positive number] (Since infinoted 0.4): The interval within which to synchronize the document tree to the path given by sync-directory.
- pam-service [string] (Since infinoted 0.5): Authenticate clients against given pam service on connection.
- allow-user [stringlist] (Since infinoted 0.5): Users allowed to connect after pam authentication. Separate entries with semicolons.
- allow-group [stringlist] (Since infinoted 0.5): Group allowed to connect after pam authentication. Separate entries with semicolons.
- autosave-hook [string] (Since infinoted 0.6): A program or script to execute every time a document is auto-saved. The script receives two arguments: the path to the root directory and the path of the file that was saved in the infinote tree.
- sync-hook [string] (Since infinoted 0.6): A program or script to execute every time a document is synchronized to a directory (see sync-directory option). The script receives two arguments: the path of file that was saved in the infinote tree and the path of the file that was saved in the filesystem.
- ca-list-file [filename] (Since infinoted 0.6): Specifies a file with a list of trusted CA certificates. If this option is set, clients are required to authenticate themselves with a client certificate which was issued by one of the trusted CAs in the list.
[infinoted] security-policy=require-tls certificate-file=/home/armin/infinoted/cert.pem key-file=/home/armin/infinoted/key.pem
Data storage
The data on the server is stored in the root-directory given to infinoted, ~/.infinote by default. If autosave is disabled, sessions are not stored immediately, but only when there was no activity for some time or the server is shut down.

Craig argues that one can read the offending passages in question as accurately depicting real events and real divine commands without endangering 1) the moral argument for God existence, 2) the deity of Christ, or 3) the conception of God as holy and loving. According to Craig, there's no moral problem in saying that a good, holy, and loving God commanded his Chosen People to wipe out another people, including children and infants. To say such a command didn't really happen is to reject biblical inerrancy: "the problem, it seems to me, is that if God could not have issued such a command, then the biblical stories must be false. Either the incidents never really happened but are just Israeli folklore; or else, if they did, then Israel, carried away in a fit of nationalistic fervor, thinking that God was on their side, claimed that God had commanded them to commit these atrocities, when in fact He had not."
His argument centers on a version of divine command ethics in which God's holy and loving nature determines what he commands. It is on this ethics that I wish to dwell. Craig writes:
I think that a good start at this problem is to enunciate our ethical theory that underlies our moral judgements. According to the version of divine command ethics which I've defended, our moral duties are constituted by the commands of a holy and loving God. Since God doesn't issue commands to Himself, He has no moral duties to fulfill. He is certainly not subject to the same moral obligations and prohibitions that we are. For example, I have no right to take an innocent life. For me to do so would be murder. But God has no such prohibition. He can give and take life as He chooses. We all recognize this when we accuse some authority who presumes to take life as "playing God." Human authorities arrogate to themselves rights which belong only to God. God is under no obligation whatsoever to extend my life for another second. If He wanted to strike me dead right now, that's His prerogative.It is important to note that Craig does not espouse voluntarism; he rejects a divine command theory in which God arbitrarily decides what is good and evil. Instead, says Craig, "our moral duties are constituted by the commands of a holy and loving God." It is God's commanding that obligates us, but the actions to which we are obligated because of his commands correspond to the standard of his holiness and love. Craig furthermore theorizes that God can command us to perform acts that would be sinful if we performed them without his command, but are not sinful if he commands them because a) his commands constitute our moral duties, b) God himself is not prohibited from doing them or commanding them, and c) commanding such actions is not contrary to God's nature. According to Craig, the genocide committed by Israel in obedience to God's order was such an act.
What that implies is that God has the right to take the lives of the Canaanites when He sees fit. How long they live and when they die is up to Him.
So the problem isn't that God ended the Canaanites' lives. The problem is that He commanded the Israeli soldiers to end them. Isn't that like commanding someone to commit murder? No, it's not. Rather, since our moral duties are determined by God's commands, it is commanding someone to do something which, in the absence of a divine command, would have been murder. The act was morally obligatory for the Israeli soldiers in virtue of God's command, even though, had they undertaken it on their own initiative, it would have been wrong.
On divine command theory, then, God has the right to command an act, which, in the absence of a divine command, would have been sin, but which is now morally obligatory in virtue of that command.
While Craig does not profess belief in a morally arbitrary deity, his theory, in practice, opens the city gates to the same practical consequences that result from voluntarism. To speak of God commanding X or Y is to refer to an act occurring beyond human experience. Assuming such commands actually occur, we only know about them because someone claiming to speak for God tells us what they are. Moses claimed to have been given the Ten Commandments. Jesus claimed that he and the Father were one. Paul claimed to speak in the name of Christ. The popes have claimed magisterial teaching authority guided by the Holy Spirit. We're typically not directly present to divine commands, but rather to self-described religious authorities and religious texts through which, we're told, God speaks.
Now maybe God actually has spoken through some select human beings, but Craig's ethical theory doesn't provide us with the tools to recognize the legitimate representatives from the phonies. Instead, his theory makes this discernment more difficult. By placing the origin of moral obligation in divine commands, he has in effect placed it in the words of people his faith tells him are the real deal. And how does his faith speak to him? Why, through people who claim to be religious authorities who have authored religious texts. People of other religious professions or merely of other interpretations of his own who likewise approach the source of morality through divine command theorizing will undoubtedly arrive at different conclusions about what God commands or what an alleged commandment from God means.
In practice, divine command theory, even one which depicts God as holy and loving, deprives us of a knowable objective moral standard. We're presented with as many divine commands as there are alleged mouthpieces for the divine. Saying that God is holy and loving doesn't settle the matter of what the terms mean when applied to God. To insist on a singular meaning for each term requires a step away from the proclamations of alleged religious authorities toward a standard by which even they can be judged; but if we subject them to such a standard, then we move away from the position from which we hear the ethical standard arising from their lips. We walk away from the practice of a divine command ethics.
Craig makes matters worse by opening the door to the justification of all manner of evils. Suppose a couple comes to believe that God has commanded them to suffocate their young children because the kids are destined to grow away from their faith when they become adults. According to Craig's theory, God could conceivably command this horror, and if he did, the parents would be morally obligated to obey the command. What would we tell such parents? That God wouldn't command such a terrible thing? That to carry out this command would be a sin? The parents could simply respond, "God has the right to command an act, which, in the absence of a divine command, would have been sin, but which is now morally obligatory in virtue of that command." Maybe we'd bring up advanced theological ideas about dispensations to differentiate our world from the world of the Old Testament, and therefore the situation of the ancient Israelites from that of these parents, but such recourse would be more than a little odd. Should an ethical theory really need to reference the theological concept of divine dispensation in order to have a footing on which to persuade a couple not to murder their children?
Craig's ethical theory may enable him to explain why the ancient Israelites were on solid moral ground when killing the children of their enemy, but it also, in practice, results in an authoritarian ethics, and ethics in which the basis of right and wrong is communicated to us by a self-described religious-moral authority and which therefore gives us no ground, solid or otherwise, to judge the moral truth of what the authority claims to communicate. If we assess the moral thinking of such an authority without simply taking the word of another such authority, then we've looked elsewhere for a basis of right and wrong. (VN)

Chad Sees a Tenfold Rise in Malaria
In this week's global news, Mali's new president swears in; an acclaimed Indian author is killed; British teachers warn of a national strike; plus, more. — Patrice Peck
An alarming spike in malaria cases in Chad has led Médecins Sans Frontières to launch an emergency intervention in the African country. The mosquito-borne disease has accounted for more than 80 percent — a tenfold jump — of the organization's consultations since August.

Jason Aldean's Courtesy Call
As if you haven't heard by now, Jason Aldean filed for divorce. But what you may not have heard is that right before he did that he made a call to the American Idol babe he was can-noodling with behind his wife's back to warn her about the media bru-ha-ha that was about to come. Sources reported that Aldean placed the call to Brittany Kerr, himself last week and warned the singer that he was pulling the trigger on his marriage to his high school girlfriend now wife, Jessica Ussery. Word is he said that the media will be all over you like white on rice, or something to that affect, I can't really say what he said. Aldean also went on to say to govern yourself accordingly. I've heard that she appreciated the nod. Since that telephone call, Brittany's been laying low. She's shut down her media social pages and has been staying out of the public eye.

In the wake of an unprecedented $1.7 billion in state funding cuts,
California's three public higher-education systems joined forces in April 2010 to
stage a united advocacy day in Sacramento, asking lawmakers to restore higher
education as a priority in the 2010–11 budget. The communications team in the
UC Office of the President was asked to create a collateral piece that would
help them make a compelling case. This advocacy piece was directed at state
legislators to increase state funding and support for California's three
segments of higher education: California Community Colleges, California State
University and the University of California.
We focused on collecting data from across all three systems that conveyed both
the breadth of the successes of higher education and the economic impact of the
system on the state. But we also wanted a piece that would grab lawmakers'
attention by keenly focusing disparate examples—in sheer numbers, dollars,
projections and blunt quotes—of the risks we're facing in California through
chronic underfunding: how prison funding has outstripped that of higher
education and how other states and countries are surpassing our investment and
poaching our brightest faculty and students.
We designed the brochure with an aggressive palette and a broadsheet feel to (economically) convey a sense of news and urgency. We ended on an explicit call to action for legislators to put state money where our greatest minds will be.
It's always challenging to articulate a real and
significant problem facing the university without intimating an attendant
decline in the quality of education. Keeping the tone upbeat and energetic—not merely shrill or apocalyptic—in the face of such a crisis proved equally
Logistically, identifying and obtaining
high-impact data from across three large university systems was also time- and
The project was successful because it was impactful. During the advocacy day, Governor Schwarzenegger held a roundtable with higher-education leaders where, citing statistics called out in the collateral piece, he pledged not to sign a state budget unless it included the restoration of roughly $848 million in higher-education funding that had been cut from the three systems. The final budget included that funding.
The entire project was produced in-house at the
University of California on behalf of all three segments of public higher
education in California. This was done at no charge to the other segments, and
took only staff time at UC. Printing fees were paid for by the University of California, and we produced a quantity of 1,000 brochures for under $2,000.
This case study is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The White House is putting together a small group of privileged persons to fix a little problem that has Karl Rove in a pickle. George W. Bush will soon select the members of this group, no doubt with Dick Cheney close at hand, guiding his hand. The group will "compare intelligence findings about Iraq produced before the war with the absence of stockpiles of unconventional weapons found by American inspection teams on the ground."
News flash! We already know what happened and why. Some parts of the intelligence community (uh, that would be the top leadership) caved to the incredible political pressure created by some bull-headed politicos with a single well-formulated if nutty paradigm regarding Iraq as center of evil today, center of the American energy empire tomorrow. To the extent that the intelligence community resisted the paradigm, Chalabi's perspective on the situation in Iraq was passed off as fact directly to the VP and the Presidents' speechwriters. No harm injecting a little healthy competition, right? Team B and all that, you know.
The goal was to take Saddam out and put Ahmed Chalabi and company in. This little Iraq out-and-in operation was intended to be old news before the 2004 re-election campaign unfolded. It would be called, past tense, a liberation, Iraqi freedom, glorious democracy.
Iraq was to be a Bush-branded success, as well as a brand new frontier for the empire, and a nice little crutch for the ever-struggling dollar, petro and otherwise.
Hand picking councils to conduct sham jobs on the people seems to be an enduring mark of the beast known as the first Bush Junior administration.
We have all certainly enjoyed the delightful performance of the 9-11 Commission, the gyrations of the GAO inquiry into the Cheney-led energy policy task force, the never-ending rainbow of goofball decisions made by the Homeland Security monstrosity, the intrigue of who leaked the identity and occupation of Victoria Plame. With this for entertainment, who needs to watch the Super Bowl halftime show? I mean, ripping our entire Constitution is at least as significant as ripping half of a Victoria Secret's brassiere.
Actually, given the respective news coverage and national awareness, maybe it isn't.
Mr. Bush's tendency to try to solve problems by enlisting his friends into even higher places is fine, but perhaps we can learn a thing or two about how to respond from our new friends, the Iraqis.
Iraqis recognize a handpicked council of stooges when they see it. They understand that the council the Bush Administration selected for them has the power to do only what the stooge-pickers want, and no power to resolve core issues important to the rest of the people.
Their reaction has been, unlike our national reactions to similar stooge operations out of Washington, somewhat effective. They have loudly exclaimed their dissatisfaction in the street, in their communities and in their media. Some have made sure that the United States stooges are unable to travel freely throughout the country, and that they are forced to maintain expensive private or military security. They have rallied to their own homegrown leadership, emerging from existing familial, ethnic or religious groups, or from the dynamic of community meritocracy that chaos fosters.
While the U.S. appointed and supported Iraqi Governing Council whines and rolls to please its master and keep the cash flowing, the big dogs of Iraq begin to growl and pace. The IGC periodically punishes legitimate but critical al-Arabiya and al-Jazeera media enterprises, simultaneously passing "laws" designed to show that they care about the Iraqi people and Iraqi tradition. A future in Baghdad after America grants "elections" and "sovereignty" must be worrisome for members of the IGC. Most will have to go back into exile, maybe forever.
The IGC is worried about their future. It is a sign of the quiet success of democracy in Iraq and a movement toward accountability in government. Like sunspots, eruptions of extreme violence are part and parcel to the continued existence of a nation, or two or three. Our own Thomas Jefferson remarked on this, in his reference to blood spilled periodically by patriots and tyrants.
Junior Bush, impatient to prove not only that he is not his father, but better than him too, would have us believe that he liberated Iraqis. But what Mr. Bush and the whole neoconservative/imperial foreign policy designers don't understand is that the Iraqis will liberate themselves. They are doing it every single day.
There may yet be some good to come from this most recent example of illegal, costly and deadly preemptive war, drummed up by this administration through a series of lies to Congress and the people, in pursuit of an agenda never fully declared. Perhaps in taking back their country, Iraqis will show Americans how to do it here.

Craft Beer Needs to Get Out More
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- As the small brewers who make up the "craft" community already know, their fan base is expanding. It's drawing more of the exact same type of person, but it's expanding.
The brewers the Brewers Association craft beer group considers "craft" saw sales grow 15% in volume and 17% in dollars last year even as the entire beer industry grew by less than 1.5% after years of post-recession losses. Craft beer's retail dollar value surpassed $10 billion for the first time in 2012, while the more than 2,480 craft breweries in the U.S. make up the overwhelming majority of the nation's 2,538 breweries.
That growth and much of the craft beer industry in general is built on a foundation of white, male Millennials and Gen Xers, according to data released in April by Nielsen (NLSN). Men make up 72% of the beer market, according to Nielsen, with their drinks of choice increasingly turning to craft beers and cider. While beer-drinking women -- who make up just 28% of all beer drinkers -- are just about on par with men in their love of cider, they're about half as likely to pick a craft beer.
Meanwhile, whites are 65.6% of all beer drinkers and are two to five times as likely to pick up a craft beer as folks from any other race or ethnicity. We've already mentioned the economic divide between craft beer drinkers and the rest of the beer-drinking U.S., but the Nielsen numbers show craft beer as a cultural niche far more segregated from the average alcohol-consuming market than its surging numbers indicate.In the world outside craft, beer has lost U.S. alcohol market share to liquor and wine for 13 of the last 14 years and dipped below a 50% share for the first time in 2011. It's also watched demand for spirits grow from 28% of the overall alcohol market in 2001 to 34.3% just last year. That's driving huge gains among flavored malt beverages including Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff Ice. According to Nielsen, African-American beer drinkers are 75% less likely to reach for a craft beer than the average drinker, but more than twice as likely to seek out a flavored malt beverage. Hispanic beer drinkers, who make up 14% of the overall population but 16.2% of all beer drinkers, are 17% more likely to go for a flavored malt beverage but 62% more inclined to go with an import. That Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) purchase of Grupo Modelo and Constellation Brands' (STZ) winning battle for full U.S. distribution of those brands earlier this year were a direct reflection of that buying pattern.

Reed one of Sox' few bright spots this season
BY TONI GINNETTI Staff Reporter September 16, 2013 8:16PM
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Addison Reed, left, is congratulated by catcher Tyler Flowers after Reed saved a 3-1 win over the Cleveland Indians in a baseball game Sunday April 14, 2013, in Cleveland. (AP Photo/Mark Duncan)
Updated: October 18, 2013 6:20AM
Even as a teenager, Addison Reed knew he wanted to be a
closer. It came from watching one of the best.
''When I was in high school,
going to Angels games, I always saw Troy Percival running in,'' said Reed, 24. ''That's what got it going for me because I lived about 30 minutes from Angels Stadium. In high school, middle school, those were the games I'd go to and watch every day on TV. I was a die-hard Angels fan until I got drafted by the White Sox.''
The change in allegiance — but not in the goal — came in 2010. And after being a closer for two years in college at San Diego State, the Sox kept Reed on his chosen course.
It only took a little more than a year for him to be called up (September 2011), and Chris Sale's move to the rotation opened up Reed's opportunity in 2012. He had 27 saves as a rookie last season and has 37 so far this season.
As badly as things have gone for the Sox this season, their future looks bright when it comes to closing games.
''He has grown,'' manager Robin Ventura said. ''There have been times where he's tired, and you see the maturity of him getting a lot of chances in a row.
''Over the course of the last year he moved into the role, and this year he's been in there from the start. He probably needs another pitch. He's been surviving basically on his fastball and slider.
Now he's mixing in his changeup. That's gotten better.''
Sixteen of Reed's saves have come in one-run games, and he set a White Sox record — and tied the major-league mark set by Eric Gagne in 2003 — when he saved six games in a row in August.
''Last year, I was [throwing] fastball or slider 98 percent of the time,'' Reed said. ''You can kind of get away with it sometimes, but if you have that third pitch, it's something else the hitter has to think about. In the offseason and spring training, [the change-
up] is the thing I worked on the most. I've used it quite a bit this year. Hopefully, I'll get to the point where I can throw all three of those in a 3-2 count for strikes 10 times in a row.''
Mastering the mental part of being a closer is something Reed already has learned.
''That's the toughest part — tougher than throwing,'' he said. ''If you go out and blow a save, it's going to happen. Last year, I thought I did a pretty good job of putting it behind me and forgetting about it. But there were times I'd be home and still thinking about it. At some point, it would ruin my night. The next morning, it was all I was thinking about. I wouldn't be having fun or enjoying what I had planned to do the next morning.
''This year, if something doesn't go the way I want it to go or I don't do as well as I would have liked, I think about it for 10 minutes after the game, then I'm all smiles. Once you realize there's absolutely nothing you can do after that last out is made, why be depressed about it or think about it? The next day, you're out there in another save opportunity.
''And that's what I want. If I do badly, I want to be out there as soon as possible to prove I can do it and prove to myself I can still be out there.''

Access to markets, talent and capital dominate oilsands top 10 risks list in 2013
(Calgary, December 17, 2012) Above the ground — or below — opportunities and challenges in Canada's oilsands sector, particularly around access to markets, talent and capital, are creating a new environment for players, according to EY's annual report, Exploring the top 10 opportunities and risks in Canada's oilsands 2012-13 (5.5mb) .
"Rising supply and falling demand from the US, market access and infrastructure constraints, cost inflation, and labour availability are atop our annual risks list. These are clear signals that companies urgently need to tie down new long-term customers, attract and retain talent, and seek new and creative capital sources," says Barry Munro, EY's Canadian Oil and Gas Leader.
But accessing new markets requires significant investment in infrastructure — and fast. Joint ventures and strategic partnerships are becoming more attractive to companies looking to accelerate resource development, particularly in light of Canada's new oilsands foreign investment rules.
"Accelerating growth without giving up competitive advantage is a balancing act," says Lance Mortlock, Partner in EY's Oil and Gas practice. "Securing adequate returns on investment requires companies to have a complete understanding of their risk profile and risk appetite. Successful partnerships should protect your company's competitive resources while furthering your position in the marketplace."
Collaboration enables companies to share costs and mitigate a number of this year's top risks by sharing leading practices in areas such as technology, environmental reclamation, social and economic performance as well as creating a common labour pool to maximize resources.
"With so many complex issues at play for oilsands companies, 2013 will be a very dynamic year," says Munro. "Winners and losers will emerge as company executives and boards grapple with their strategic choices."
Canada's oilsands will continue to play a critical role in world supply and energy demand but success in the year ahead won't come easily.

If a storm rolls in while you're at work, and you're wondering if you left your bedroom window open, you can tell via an internet connection – if that window is equipped with a contact sensor. Ordinarily, such sensors require electrical wiring, and a battery or mains power. A new window system developed by Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, however, works without wires, and draws its power from the environment around it. Read More
Tiny biosensor could mean an end to daily finger sticks for diabetics
Despite promising developments in recent years, millions of type-1 diabetes sufferers worldwide still face the often-painful daily burden of finger sticks to test their blood glucose levels. Now researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems (IMS) have developed a biosensor that provides a non-invasive way to measure blood glucose levels and can transmit its readings wirelessly to a mobile device.

New airline seats provide individual climate control
These days, jet air travel is less of a glamorous Don Draper adventure and often more of a tedious ordeal. The cabin air doesn't help as passengers suffer sinus troubles and can't stay warm or cool enough for comfort.

New system promises better glasses-free 3D TV
Wide-angle autostereoscopic displays provide the opportunity for practical glasses-free 3D viewing, but the incompatibility of current 3D-media has hindered the further development and implementation of the technology. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications have been working to provide a solution to this issue, producing a technology capable of converting conventional 3D Blu-rays for use with the new display technology.

New production process promises cheaper infrared lenses
Driving a car in the country at night can be a scary. The combination of poor visibility and animals or other hard to spot obstacles on the road poses an obvious threat to both the car and its occupants. Some luxury models now have the option of forward looking infrared (FLIR) night vision systems, so you can see the animal in time to swerve. Unfortunately these systems are pricey, even as an aftermarket add-on, but that may soon change through the work of researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM) in Freiburg, Germany. The researchers have invented a way of bringing down the cost of the infrared lenses in FLIR systems down by 70 percent - opening the way to cheap FLIR cameras for the mass market. Read More
We have seen wooden-framed computers before, although those have generally been off-the-shelf machines that have simply received a steampunk makeover. A team of engineers from Ireland's MicroPro Computers and Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration have gone considerably farther, however. Their wood-bodied iameco ("I am eco") v3 touchscreen computer reportedly has 70 percent less carbon footprint than a regular desktop PC with a monitor. Read More
A common theme in any form of entertainment depicting the future is the use of a remote to control everything – futuristic houses are often shown with the owner turning the lights on before they even arrive. Turns out, using the internet to control our houses is not too far away. A group of researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication Systems ESK in Munich, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM in Kaiserslautern, have developed a new power outlet that supports the brand-new IPv6 Internet protocol. These new outlets, known as the wireless smart socket, could very well revolutionize the way we turn things on and off in our homes. Read More
For many people, the onset of warmer weather can mean pulling out the ol' scrubbing brush and getting to work on the slimy film of moss, algae, fungi and bacteria that has built up on the garden furniture over the colder months. But we may soon be able to say goodbye to this tiresome chore thanks to researchers at Fraunhofer who are developing coatings that would be activated by the sun's rays to destroy organic substances attaching themselves to various surfaces. Read More
CryoSolplus could help keep EV batteries cool
One of the big enemies of electric vehicle batteries is heat. Batteries already warm up under normal use, but when hot summer temperatures or high workloads are thrown in, overheating becomes a real possibility. According to the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology, running a battery at ten degrees over its maximum "comfort level" of about 35ºC (95ºF) can deplete its service life by half. That's why researchers there have developed a battery coolant known as CryoSolplus, which is said to offer three times the cooling capacity of plain water. Read More
With many of us spending more and more time indoors, it can be a struggle to get the amount of sunlight our bodies crave. Modern heat-insulating, sun-protection glazing doesn't help, as it reflects a noticeable percentage of the incident sunlight in the part of the spectrum that governs our hormonal balance. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research (ISC) have developed a coating for windows that lets in more light, in particular those wavelengths of light that have a beneficial effect on our sense of well-being.

Is it only men who can win the fedora contest?
Will there be a male and woman who wins? Or, is it possible two women can win both categories? Thanks!
My fiance will be entering the hat contest that I wont be able to attend. We are putting together a fedora for her to wear in the contest since she does not wear fascinators. So, my question is since you are choosing a man and a woman to win the contest will a woman be able to win in the fedora category since men, I assume men will not be wearing fascinators? Or, can a man and woman both win in the fedora hat category? Otherwise it seems to me if we put together a fedora for her to wear and it happens to be better than any man's fedora she may not be able to win since it sounds like no matter what a man is going to win in the fedora category regardless because I don't see a man wearing a fascinator. Hopefully you can give me a straight honest correct answer to this contest question. If we have to find a guy to wear her hat that is something we want to know so she don't walk up there and have a man beat her out cuz contest rules say a man and a woman will win which means a woman will most likely will win the fascinator and a man will most likely end up winning the fedora since you would be hard pressed to find men wearing fascinators. Thank you for your time look forward to hearing from you.
