Whitman Forensics Newsletter
Vol. 7, No. 1, December, 2000
This is the traveling team for 2000-2001
Whitman leads the NFC
The NFC results are in for the fall semester and Whitman is on top. With 208.1 official points, Whitman leads the Northwest. Runners up are Boise State with 178.5 points and Carroll College with 168.7 points.
Following last year's win, the Whitman team continues its quality showings at every tournament. With traditional strengths in policy and parliamentary debate, Whitman has shown growing success in individual events. Jim is very pleased. "Keep it up!"
Happy Holiday Party
This year's holiday party started off with stockings for each debater. Jim provided a distraction in the way of fresh guacamole, hot bread, steak and prawns, and other goodies. But when it came time for the white elephant gift giving, those skilled in negotiation took center stage, "I'll give you two snickers for your Backstreet Boys postcard." By the end of the night, each gift had been taken the maximum number of times (except the mouthwash and stop snoring aids). Most people went home happy and it was a good time spent together, sharing stories, laughter, and friendship.
Charles shares Thad's great joy with his holiday party gift: Scope mouthwash!

Should Whitman have an attendance policy?
This fall the Whitman faculty considered requiring a fairly stringent attendance policy that would have hampered our finest competitors from attending nationally competitive tournaments. Bob Withycombe and Jim Hanson argued against the policy by stressing the importance of coursework outside the traditional classroom and the fact that the affected students had GPAs that are much higher than the school average. Support from other faculty led to an amended policy that gives flexibility for out-of-classroom experiences. Here are some things students and alums had to say about the attendance policy; you can tell where team members stand on this issue. J
"The reason I wanted to come here rather than go to some science only school like MIT or CalTech is that I can debate here. Rigid 'educational' environments actually smother education by limiting a student's ability to educate her/himself through life experience." Scott Daniel, Sophomore
"Is there anyone I can write to express my feelings on the new attendance policy? Is there anyone who would care what an alum thinks on the issue? Debate was by far the most educational thing I did at Whitman and it would be a shame to see it curtailed because of a policy trying to promote education." Steve Rowe, alumnus
"Our group does 25 hours per week of unpaid academic work with just two credits and gets a higher GPA than the rest of campus. The faculty should not be singling out attendance." Brian Simmonds, junior
"I have to say that the new attendance policy is not as bad as I thought it would be, but I still have major issues with having one in the first place. There seem to be some contradictions within school ideology by instituting a policy such as this. For instance, we choose to come to this school to get the most we want out of a liberal arts education, we are also paying extraordinary amounts of money so we can make that choice. As adults entering the first stages of the 'real world,' having the responsibility to choose what you want to do with your life seems reasonable, even encouraged by the school. However, when the school starts to make choices for you, the assurance that we are "adults" now starts to fade. Instead we are told that when adults make decisions they should make the 'correct' ones and if they don't, someone else will make those decisions for them. In my opinion, this is bogus. If the school wants to make decisions for us, then by all means do so, but tell us from the start that is how the school operates, instead of spouting off words like 'responsibility' and 'choice' and 'adult.'" Denice Kelley, Sophomore
The 2000-2001 Staff
Director, Jim Hanson is caught eating KFC. Assistant Director, JP Lacy describes tournament procedures.
Will someone help those people in that van?
"I got blamed for killing the battery on the way to U of O. I can't say that I did it, but I can't really deny it either, since I was sitting in the back of the van and I did have the light on at least part of the time...But running out of gas was KEOLA'S fault, not mine!!!" John Poor
"I was driving along and suddenly the gas peddle did not make the van go. I said "Jim . . . um . . . I think the van might be out of gas." I was worried we would be late for our rounds but it turned out okay after Jim called AAA." Keola Whittaker
"It's odd that the Whitman vans don't come with jumper cables in them. I hope they fix that, even if it means jacking up tuition." Scott Daniel
Planned schedule What really happened
2:00 Get the vans 2:00 Jim calls rental company who tell him they
have no record of our van reservation
4:00 Pack vans 2:05 Jim screams
2:10 Jim tells JP he has to take care of this
because he (Jim) has to teach
2:15 JP screams
3:45 JP has solved the problem; we have vans
4:00 Jim assesses the situation: one of the vans
4:30 Leave is too small
5:00 After working it out, team starts to leave ...
8:30 Arrive in Portland 5:10 Wait, we need to get sack dinners, gas,
snacks, & batteries for walkie-talkies
6:10 Get on the Road
8:05 One van won't start at gas station
10:15 Arrive in Portland
Hey, Who moved that?
With the turn of the millennium approaching rapidly, the team has made some changes in their office spaces to make life a little more convenient. Both prep rooms have added more computers and scanners. The coaches and Julie moved their desks from a few feet to across the room. Jim now has three more tables in his office, two for random stuff (like paperwork) and one for a few laptops (for student use).
Jim, An Associate Professor?
Last semester faculty and the trustees created a Forensic track with voting and sabbatical privileges. This semester Jim Hanson will be considered for an "upgrade" to Associate Professorship. Jim, who's been at Whitman for 8 and a half years, will be considered for this position based on his management of the team, management of budget, teaching skills, and service to team, forensics, and Whitman. Good luck Jim!
Department Chair Bob Withycombe fends off Assistant Director Geof Brodak who is crazy about returning to the team. David Kearney served as assistant from August through November.
Julie Miller takes over as student assistant and intramural debate coordinator. With Julie in the picture is Nick, her fiancé.
33 Competitors, Fall 2000: Aerin Orbits, Andi Lien, Brant Olson, Brian Danielson, Brian Ward, Charles Olney, Chris Gorman, Dani Boucher, Darrell Miller, David Guidry, Denice Kelley, Emily Cordo, Emily Marr, Gabe McGuire, John Poor, Keola Whittaker, Lauren Ritter, Leif Perkins, Mario Cava, Natalie Havlina, Natalie Sofia Mariona, Nathan Roller, Nicholas Thomas, Nicole Reynaud, Sam Spiegel, Samantha Howell, Scott Daniel, Stew Campbell, Thad Blank, Todd Borden, Tony Torres, Valbona Sherifi, Wanjiru Kamau.
Julie Miller: The New Abby
Anyone who's been around the speech team in the last couple of years no doubt remembers the team assistant, Abby St. Lawrence. This year she's gone on to grad school at Lewis and Clark and someone new has taken her place in Jim's office. This new person, Julie Miller, is about as different from Abby as can be. Look at this comparison:

Focus on six new students
Sam Spiegel is a frosh from Canada, spending his first year living in the U.S.A. He is not yet accustomed to American debating style, but he is soaking up the experience and enjoys the camaraderie of the team. He looks forward to future years of speech and debate and he hopes to become the first U.S. President who was born in Canada (he is presently trying to make that legal). Sam plays tennis too.
Darrell Miller is a hilarious guy who composes speeches on people who actually eat dirt. Darrell has really tasted dirt before. Darrell thinks soil has the potential to save starvation-ridden third world countries. The only thing Darrell enjoys more than dirty discourse is talking about himself in the third person.
Dani Boucher is finding her first year of debating at the college level to be most interesting. She is looking forward to committing to the team full-time spring semester, as it is a nice break from all the science/math classes she is taking! Dani hopes to complete an astronomy/chemistry combined major while at Whitman, and then go on to law school. She loves to debate and is extremely proud to be a member of the team.
Samantha Howell is experiencing her first year on the Whitman Debate Team. She debated four years in New England and enjoys the change of pace. She is a frosh who expects to double major in politics and English. Her favorite part about being on the debate team is the friendly atmosphere and being able to make fun of Jim's ABBA CD's every day (even though she, herself, is a huge KISS fan).
Stewart Campbell is a junior transfer student from North Idaho College, located in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Unlike most of the Whitman team, Stew has no prior debate experience. He decided to try out debate because he "wanted to try something new" and develop a stronger level of critical thought. Stew participated in Policy Debate during the fall semester. He was very pleased when he won 2nd place in Novice Extemporaneous Speaking at the Lewis and Clark tournament.
John Poor wrote in to say: "I'm a first-year student at the College. I've really enjoyed my experiences on the debate team thus far. The traveling can be a pain, and the tournaments are stressful, but the team is wonderful and the competition is very rewarding. To top it off, the coaches are terrific. Jeep's a riot and Jim is always helpful, even if he insults me all the time! Seriously, though, I'm learning a lot about debate and life, and I'm enjoying every minute of it."
Research, Research
August 20-24 started the school year for the debate team. A week without classes, it gave us a jump-start on research and general preparation. Frosh were introduced to returning members, Whitman, and college debate. Returning members reunited with friends. The team raided the library, spent hours searching the net for info, and watched the movie, "Listen To Me," one more time.
The highlight of the week was a barbeque dinner with Politics Professor Bruce Magnusson, who talked with the policy debaters about Africa. The biggest problem we faced during the prep session was the lack of Chinese food in town, as Jim's two favorite places were closed for remodeling and a vacation. The team settled for more pizza.
Running a tournament is hard work. The ballots, kids, and ideas floating around can cause quite a mess. For the most part this year's tournament ran smoothly despite some most memorable moments:
High School Debater to Brant, "Are you Jim Hanson?"
Coach to Ballot table, "I know this makes me sound stupid, but how do I get ice off my windshield?"
High School Debater to Stew, 'You look like one of the guys from Hanson."
Student complaint: "Basketball practice in the gym is interfering with debate rounds held on the balcony." (Sorry!)
And then there was the kid who managed to get up the climbing wall and couldn't get down. We called security, but when they showed up, he had "escaped" fearing he would get in trouble.
Keola works with high school students at the Whitman National Debate Institute. Held this past summer, it drew students from throughout the Northwest and the nation!
Keola and Todd spend time in Jim's office.

Created: 26/04/2012
Luke Johnston, 14, from Houghton-le Spring, handled a Saluki to BOB and G3 at Crufts and Hound Association of Scotland and is quickly becoming one of the most exciting prospects in the dog show world. Its been nearly six weeks since the biggest show in the world but its still very much in Lukes mind, as Marina Scott found out.
MS: How long have you been showing dogs?
LJ: I have been showing for six years and I started when I was eight years old.
MS: How did you get involved?
LJ: I got involved in showing due to my mam owning and showing whippets since the age of 13. I started at the local ringcraft club and its progressed from there.
MS: What clubs/societies do you belong to as a member?
AJ: I am a member of most Whippet breed clubs and Hound Associations, also a few local open show clubs and ringcraft clubs and I am a committee member and the junior representative of North Eastern Whippet Society. I am also a committee member of Tyne Wear and Tees Hound Association.
MS: Tell us a little bit about your home life?
AJ: I live at home with both of my parents who are both fully behind me in what I want to do in the world of dogs. I also live with one of my brothers who used to show but found football was more important (silly him). My other brother lives in a student house with his friends. Home life revolves around dogs, if the dogs havent been fed and walked, my mam wont cook for us, dogs are her (and my) priority and quite rightly so! I practice and prepare for dog shows during the week and then try my best and hope all the work pays off when the time comes. Win or lose, I still take the best dog home anyway!
MS: How many dogs live at home?
LJ: We have six Whippets (aged between one and 14 years) but my persuasion plans are fully under way to convince my dad to let me have a Saluki at home. Collooney Silver Shamrock, Falconcrag Rhumour, Danluke Definition Of Love, Collooney Tricky Dicky (one RCC), Danluke Dance of love (two CCs), Danluke Dicky Bird. I also have the pleasure of co-owning Rafi, Ch Jorjenjo Mirzam of Fernlark (three CCs, three RCCs, two BOBs, G2, G3).
MS: You seemed to come to the attention of a lot of people in the dog world last year?
LJ: It was a fantastic year for me. I qualified for the YKC handling at Crufts seven times. My boy Chance gained a RCC and many placings including firsts at championship shows. Our homebred bitch, Rhumba gained her JW and her ShCM. She also took two CCs and many first placings at championship shows. Rafi and I also took two CCs, a BOB and a G2. You have to be in it to win it and its always great to have lots of friends!
MS: Who has inspired you?
LJ: I think my mam has inspired me and gave me the drive to do well due to me always wanting to do as well as her. She took G1 with her friends Whippet at Darlington at her very first championship show. Ive always wanted to beat that, but both me and my mam have agreed, G3 at Crufts does! Also, a lot of professional handlers have inspired me as I want to be like them in the future.
MS: You are well known for handling Whippets and Salukis tell us about your achievements?
AJ: I have achieved a lot with Rafi but I also show Gloria Cooks and Alan Burtenshaws Salukis and have won many first places at championship shows and a best bitch too. Also, numerous group wins at open shows. I have also shown Viv Coulters and Claire Grahams Collooney Whippets and Greyhound to firsts at championship shows.
MS: Tell us about how long you have been handling Rafi and how you got involved in his show career.
LJ: Gloria and Alan introduced me to Sheryl Steer and Lorraine and John Fitzgerald, co-owners of Rafi at Bakewell premier open show where I handled him for the first time. We got RBOB and then won the YKC 12-16 handling. From then on I have shown Rafi quite frequently taking turns with his breeder, Tony Quick who had already handled him to two RCCs out of junior, he had also won numerous BPDs, BPIBs and BPISs at Ch shows and open shows. Me and Rafi were winning class after class and the Saluki people were telling me, "It wont be long until you go a step further than first, and they were right. I travelled with a lady who exhibited Chihuahuas down to East of England, where apparently the judge liked creams so we thought we might be in with a shot. Oh boy we were! I handled Rafi to first in LD, then second in OD with Ch Fernlark Alsace, his father. The nerves built more and more as I waited to go into the dog challenge, it didnt help that a number of people were telling me I had a real big chance for the CC. Once again, the Saluki people were right and we took the DCC and BOB under judge Ian Veal. We celebrated and I rang my mam, who was devastated she wasnt there yet in tears with happiness.
The time came to go in the group which I was extremely nervous about as it was my first time. Rafi performed superb and I was thrilled to bits to be pulled out into the shortlist. The judge, Denise Courtney, stood the dogs back up and took her final look, she placed Jilly, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen G1. She then scanned the rest of the dogs with her knowledgeable eyes and headed towards me, excitement built up in me until eventually she raised her hand and picked me as second, I didnt know what to do, from what I can remember, I just hugged the judge. Me and Rafi soon won his second CC under Robin Searle at Darlington.
At the last show of the year, LKA, Rafi and I took our third RCC, yet again without my mam being there. Crufts was fast approaching and I can genuinely say, I was expecting to do nothing with Rafi as the judge did not place him very high as a youngster, it just shows how much dogs can change. Rafi and I entered the ring and I raced to the front of the class as I love to take advantage of a big ring and show Rafis fabulous movement off. We won our class which I was totally amazed at, I had only ever been shortlisted in a class of Whippets at Crufts before so this was just unreal. It wasnt long before the challenge and my heart raced, the judge, Marie Bryce-Smith, moved us up and down and around to the end. After everybody took their turn, I stood Rafi up and tried my best to make him look amazing, I used treats to arch his neck and keep his head up, it must have paid off as we took the CC!
Straight after, I ran to the Whippet ring and surprised my mam by saying, "Guess whos got a new champion?, she looked at me and burst into tears, followed by myself and my great aunty. We soon realised that if I didnt hurry I would miss my handling class, we had to sprint to the YKC ring where I was late but Rafi and I calmed down and then, once again Rafi put in an outstanding performance and didnt put a foot wrong for me, we were placed first which was my first ever first in the handling at Crufts. I then had a little bit of time to relax before the BOB challenge but the time soon came and once again I made sure I was at the front. The judge didnt mess around; she moved us around once and then stood us back up. She headed forwards towards me, raising up that red and white card and pointed to me. I could hear cheers from all over the ring and I jumped in the air before squeezing the judge.
Once again, the Saluki ring clashed with my YKC ring and I just got there in time for the Handler of the Year challenge, I did not win yet I was quite pleased to see that the judge, Leila Tarabad, said in my critique, "It was a real shame he missed the challenge as he was a definite contender for the title. The chaos didnt stop there as I had to rush back and get Nola, my young Whippet for the YKC stakes in which we were placed second out of 18.
After everything was finished and we only had the group left, Rafi was extremely tired. Five times in the ring, running from hall to hall with very little break in between. So he was put on a bench and left to rest but it didnt stop for me, I was still running from three different halls trying to round everybody up to buy tickets for the group. The time came and soon we were making our firsts steps into the main arena at Crufts. Our dreams came true as Rafi and I took G3!
MS: What sort of reaction do you get from your school friends about dog showing?
LJ: Most people havent got a clue what Im going on about and usually reply with, "Is that where you make your dog jump over things?.
MS: What did they think of you being seen on TV at Crufts?
LJ: I got a major reaction at school, not being able to walk down a corridor without people pointing or saying "He was on the TV or "He was in the Sunderland Echo, it was great. I got a round of applause in History and I was took out of a class to go and talk to my year manager about it. Every day I came in from school to find numerous cards from people of all different breeds.
MS: What are you plans for 2012, I understand you may be going to Italy?
LJ: Yes, I am planning to go Italy, the ferry and hotels are all booked. I am going in June to handle Rafi, Dafnia, William and a veteran Stanley, all owned by Sheryl Steer.
MS: Now that you have made up a champion, what else would you like to achieve in the world of dog shows?
LJ: Now that Ive made up a champion in Salukis, I would like to gain my third CC with Rhumba and make up a champion in Whippets. I know this is a very big aspiration but you have to go up, I want to win a G1 with Rafi and gain a lot more CCs. Also, I handle a cream bitch Saluki Dafnia, Kirman Dafnia, who is of high quality in my opinion. I would love to gain at least one CC with her.
MS: Is there anything else you would like to add?
LJ: I would like to thank anybody who has given me advice, support or congratulations. I appreciate it so much, its great to have so many good friends in the hobby I love. A massive thank you to Gloria Cook, Alan Burtenshaw, Lorraine and John Fitzgerald and Sheryl Steer for introducing and guiding me to the world of Salukis. Also, thank you to my mam for taking me all over the country, and our close friend, Marcia Dillon for taking me if my mam is unable, its appreciated.

Surveillance State: Who's Spying on You?
Every move we make is subject to digital prying eyes, and once your data has been collected, there's no telling where it might end up. Here's who's looking at you, kid.
By The Editors
Both the quantity and capability of surveillance cameras have increased dramatically in the past decade. Modern license plate readers can process 1800 plates per minute, and facial recognition systems such as the one used by the Pennsylvania Justice Network can automatically match faces from surveillance footage to mug shots in criminal databases.

New Delhi's police department is telling hotels to install closed-circuit television cameras facing roads to help investigate potential, future bomb attacks, India's Hindustan Times reported Sunday.
The request follows a Feb. 13 bombing in which an Israeli embassy vehicle transporting the wife of a diplomat was attacked, wounding the woman. (The New York Times ran an update about the bombing on Saturday.)
Although eyewitnesses saw bikers attach an explosive device on the car, the Hindustan Times reported, CCTV cameras failed to film the attack because none faced the road.
TWITTER: Follow Hotel Check-In's BarbDeLollis
On Sunday, the article said, Delhi's hotel association asked members to install cameras on their rooftops for potential investigations.
"We had a discussion with senior police officers and they said investigation into the Israel blast case was hampered as one of the hotels did not have CCTV cameras facing the road. We have assured the police that we will get such cameras installed," Arun Gupta, general secretary of budget-hotel chain Hotel Mahasangh told the paper. Furthermore:
After the 26/11 attack in Mumbai, Delhi Police have been pushing for tighter security arrangements at hotels. "At Paharganj, almost every hotel had installed cameras but when we checked, none of them faced the roads," Gupta, who owns a hotel at Karol Bagh, said.
The police realize their plan to beef up road-facing security cameras will take time, according to the story. High-rise towers - regardless of use - are being asked to install cameras, as well.
India is one of the countries where U.S. hotel chains and hotel owners are seeking to expand their presence.

Is there an antihistamine that won't make me groggy?
- Q: I take Benadryl so I can breathe and so I can sleep but I wake up exhausted the next day, and I can't go to bed at 7 pm. What should I do?
- A: Daytime effects, including drowsiness, can be common with Benadryl (diphenhydramine). This can be especially true if not enough time is spent sleeping. If you are able to use a non-drowsy antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec), this could be an option. However, the non-drowsy antihistamines cannot always be used interchangeably with Benadryl. Consult your health care provider for specific recommendations. Your health care provider is best able to guide your treatment decisions based on your specific circumstances.

Dear Readers,
The September issue should now be in subscribers' hands. If you're not yet a subscriber and haven't picked up a copy of the magazine, it's also on newsstands around the country. (Subscribing is, of course, an excellent idea, at $19.97 for 12 issues or $29.97 for 24, plus access to an archive that reaches back more than 160 years.)
For those who have the issue or want a preview, we've assembled some web links to sources and other material related to our September columns and features:
In "A Letter to Barack Obama," George McGovern discusses possible cuts to the U.S. defense budget, as proposed by Lawrence J. Korb of the Center for American Progress. Korb's findings are summarized over at CNN. Since the September issue went to press, he has also written a follow-up article at CAP in which he refines his ideas in light of the debt-ceiling deal.
Darryl Pinckney's "Deep in the Bowl" traces the history of the New Orleans mayorship since Ernest "Dutch" Morial became the city's first black mayor. (Ray Nagin, mayor during Hurricane Katrina, was its fourth.) If you have a few hours to spend absorbing late-1980s funeral rites, Dutch's memorial is online. But you might prefer to remember him by this 1979 speech to the NAACP:
Pinckney also mentions the stunning architecture of New Orleans's cemeteries, which are well represented on YouTube — particularly the St. Louis Cemetery, the city's oldest and most renowned sarcophagorium. The best way to sample New Orleans's boneyard architecture, though, is obviously to watch the NOLA acid-dropping scene from Easy Rider:
Bruce Davenport Jr.'s New Orleans portfolio "Parade's End" contained an incorrectly oriented image. The illustration is displayed properly below, and you can click here for a larger version:
Elif Batuman alludes to iPhone footage of the Dante Marathon in Florence in "A Divine Comedy." This clip, set to a truly infernal Los Campesinos! song, lends a sense of the festival (formally named the 100 canti per firenze), while the one below shows an impassioned reading from Canto XXXIII of the Inferno, the same section from which Batuman's reading was drawn:
Grammarphiles will also want to read Batuman's two blog posts about the debate she and her editor had over her use of the word "douchebags" in the following passage: "[T]his is one of the basic messages in Dante: nothing is ever truly lost. Dante goes to the afterworld and everyone is there: Homer, Moses, Judas, Jesus, Brunetto Latini, Beatrice, all the thousand and one douchebags of Florence." After a flirtation with "sleazebags," it was decided that "douchebags" would be the descriptive noun of record. (In case you think us uptight, please note that an earlier reference to The Big Lebowski passed without incident.) Two final web-friendly tidbits from the piece: The image of Dante's reconstructed head, and the website of Dante's descendants, the Serego Alighieri.
The form used in Anthony Lydgate's Annotation, "Conduct Unbecoming," can be found on the U.S. military's website, and we agree with Jonathan Dee in "The Pretender" that the MySpace page of the musician Richard Frasca, a.k.a. Jon Denmar, is worth a visit.

Marissa Mayer Bans WAH
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 02-24-2013 - 1:08pm
The youngest female Fortune 500 CEO ~ Yahoo's Marissa Mayer ~ banned WAH for all employees, including full-time customer service reps, those who WAH just 1 or 2 days/week, even those hired on the condition they WAH.
<<"Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home," says the memo from HR director Jackie Rees..."We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together.>>
Apparently the fact that all of the "tools" can be at home, accessing the main offices remotely, is not enough.
Wouldn't we expect a new mom especially to "champion" combining work and family? Some WAH employees say they get more done at home, due to a shorter "commute", fewer interuptions at the watercooler and cubicle. For those who WAH part-time or f-t, are you as/more productive at home as in an office? Will this backfire as the top talent can WAH for Yahoo and other companies?

Yes, I was unaware that not paying for a child to complete a graduate degree is the same thing as telling that child to drop out of a PhD program, or that we were parenting that the only way to "have it all" is if your parents pay for it. Are we also prending that "not being able to have it all" means "no one is going to pay to fulfill your every wish from cradle to grave?" Or perhaps I should tell my children not to make any retirement plans, since their father and I do not intend on funding their retirement. Oh dear, how will they EVER manage to retire?
What if their dream is to buy a house and you are not willing to buy that house for them?

Not every parent feels they need to pay for their entire child's college education. You do, and that is your choice. Some people also don't save all their money for their children to use after they are gone. They like to see them enjoy it now.

I guess if their dream is to buy a house and we won't buy it for them, they'll just be homeless. I don't see any alternative, do you?
No, I don't because it would just be "hollow" for you to support your child's dream of owning their own home one day if you aren't willing to set aside the funds for that house.

(Bord) Sounded like a big assumption upon parents who choose vacations or TV's or whatever else you don't approve of and not sending their children to college. There are many ways kids can get to college and the parents are not always the only ones to contribute.
You completely misread what she said. She takes issue with ppl who have the latest tvs and greatest vacations, then claim they can't afford to help the kids w/college. Big difference between what she actually said and what you're claiming she said.

component of force directing a vehicle towards the center of the curve. Banked curves reduce a vehicle's dependence on friction to safely navigate a curve.
Uniform circular motion is used to describe objects moving in a circular motion. With centripetal acceleration, the magnitude of the velocity remains unvarying; however the direction of this velocity is constantly changing. Acceleration is always directed to the center, thus force is always directed to the center.
This motion may be visible with vehicles rounding curves. On a flat surface, cars must rely on friction to prevent skidding. If conditions such as snow, ice, or rain reduce the coefficient of friction, then the turning force would be smaller. Without banked curves to help turn the vehicle the vehicle's inertia could carry it off the road.
PROBLEM: An exit ramp on a certain interstate has a radius of curvature of 75m. If the ramp is banked 20 degrees, what is the maximum speed that can safely be executed?
Horizontal component:
Use the formula:
Fnet = (mv2)/r
But the horizontal component of normal force, N, is equal to Fnet so we can substitute that
information into the equation.
Nsinø = (mv2)/r where ø is the slope of the surface above the horizontal (the bank).
Vertical component:
The vertical component of N is equal to weight, W.
N cos ø = mg
When we change the formula around, we get N.
N = (mg)/(cos ø)
The next step it to substitute the N in the horizontal component formula with the vertical component equation.
[(mg)/(cos ø)] sin ø = (mv2)/r
mg tan ø = (mv2)/r
Let's cancel out the m on each side.
g tan ø = v2/r
Since we are solving for speed, let's multiply each side by r to get v on its own.
rg tan ø = v2
Plug the values in.
v2 = (75m)(9.8m/s2)(tan 20º)
v2 = 267.5 m2/s2
Take the square root.
v = 16.4 m/s
The maximum speed is 16.4 m/s.

Science and Theology: Questioning the "Two-State Solution"
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.

When Motion 312 comes up for a vote in the House of Commons Wednesday, Stephen Woodworth's resolution to set up a parliamentary committee to study the definition of a human being will get the vote of only one other local Conservative MP.
Harold Albrecht, MP for Kitchener-Conestoga, said Monday he will "definitely" support MP Woodworth's motion.
"All through my time in Parliament, I've been pretty clear I'll support anything that protects the sacred gift of human life," Albrecht said.
"This motion asks us to study when human life begins. That's something Canada needs. It's time we had this discussion."
Peter Braid, the MP for Kitchener-Waterloo, and Gary Goodyear, a cabinet minister and Cambridge MP, will vote against the motion.
"The majority of my constituents are well aware that personally, I have consistently maintained a pro-life stance on this matter," Goodyear said in an email. "However I made a promise in the last election that our government and I would not reopen debate as currently there is no appetite in Canada to revisit this highly personal and divisive issue. Therefore, I will not vote in favour of M-312."
Braid said he's opposed because, "It's important to me that women's rights are considered and respected in this debate.
"I believe my position represents the majority position of my constituents. A woman should have control over the decisions she makes with respect to her own body," he said in an interview.
Critics of the motion say it's an attempt to reopen the abortion debate.
Woodworth, a backbench MP for Kitchener Centre, denied that Monday. His motion calls on Parliament to study the point at which a fetus becomes a human being.
Canada's Criminal Code now states human life doesn't begin until the moment of complete birth.
Woodworth said that even if the definition were changed to say that a child is a human being before birth, abortion could still be justified.
"I might not agree, but it can be done," he said.
"If we recognize (that) a child really is a human being before that magical moment of birth, that doesn't mean all the other questions about abortion would be answered.
" ... it doesn't mean the child's rights become unlimited. It doesn't mean the mother's rights would never overcome the child's rights."
Woodworth believes he has a "significant" number of supporters for his motion. He'll be lobbying to get more until the last minute.
He acknowledged that he's "not yet approaching 50 per cent, but I'm still working on it."
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said he will vote against the motion.
Woodworth said he doesn't fear any repercussions from the prime minister. Conservative Party policy allows MPs to vote according to their convictions on deeply held issues, he said.
"Just because I respect and admire and like the prime minister doesn't mean I have to agree with him on all things," Woodworth said. "I don't consider I'm doing anything against him."
Woodworth is urging MPs to vote according to their consciences. He said some MPs are wrestling with their consciences over the motion.
"There are lots of reasons why members of Parliament would rather duck difficult issues," he said.
Retired University of Waterloo politics professor Robert Williams isn't so sure MPs who vote for the motion won't face repercussions. Harper hasn't made a specific statement that members can vote with their conscience on this particular issue, he said.
"(Woodworth) is taking a risk, pushing it as hard as he has," Williams said. "I don't think it would be an action that would lead to any promotion."
However, if the issue "falls flat," and blows over, the consequences could be few, he said. On the other hand, "If it really does create a lot of angst within the party and the caucus, and it reflects poorly on the prime minister's direction, then the consequences could be higher."
Repercussions could be subtle, Williams said — anything from not getting a position on a committee to not being invited to an overseas event.
"Good team players get invited to go as part of a delegation somewhere," he said.
Woodworth said he is "beyond such fears. We're standing up for human rights. Ultimately it really is quite simple," he said.
He was pleased to hear that cabinet minister Jason Kenney will support the motion.
"He's a minister with a lot of stature and respect on all sides of the house," Woodworth said. "I respect Jason as a man of principle and logic."
Shannon Dea, past president of Planned Parenthood Waterloo Region, is urging MPs to vote against the motion.
"Members from all parties must reaffirm what a majority of Canadians have known for decades — that it is individual women and not the government who are best able to make the deeply personal decision whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term," she said in a recent press release.
Jane Richard, president of K-W & Area Right to Life Association, hopes the motion will pass.
"I don't think many people dispute the fact the unborn child is human," she said Monday. "It's whether they want it to have the status of a human because it's much easier to justify abortion with the status quo."

He received a PhD from Cottbus University (D) and is working today in a multinational company as an engineering director.
Coming originally from photography, he worked with various materials like oil and acrylic colors, watercolors, pastels, charcoal and ink on paper and canvas.
His work is centered around nature and landscape. He works in an expressionistic, sometimes informel style. In his paintings, he tries to capture the spirit and atmosphere of a landscape. Presently he is working on non-representational paintings inspired by structures found in landscapes combined with ageing surfaces like walls, planks etc.
Michael Arndt is taking regular lessons at the evening school of the Städelschule, Frankfurt (Germany) and at Kunstakademie Bad Reichenhall.
Teachers were Christopher Lehmpfuhl (Oil Painting), Gerhard Hillmayr (Watercolor), Somyot Hananuntasuk (Non-Representational Painting), Oliver Tüchsen (Drawing) and Nino Pezzella (Painting).

I didn't feel a thing, I didn't know it was there when that picture was being taken and it healed pretty easily. It's a reminder of the concert.

Amazing, I saw them in august at knoxville, waiting for the next one. And yes, first, Ivan said that all kids get on stage, then about close to 15 kids 15 and under got on stage and chilled up there then they sang white knuckles and all hell broke lose. It was a badass mosh but this one big bear type asshole picked me up and threw me on my pelvic kidney and hurt it, also got to crowd surf. And after it was all over me and my sis and her husband went and stayed outside their bus and got their autographs, only like 8 people were there, and I didn't have a camera, he was taking pictures to. And he wanted the kids on stage so they didn't get hurt. He said if one kid gets hurts he is ending the whole thing so he has a lot of respect for kids. But Ivan throws some pretty badass concerts.

Yea, my sis was in it she is little to. But me and her husband were protecting her. And one guy had his hand down my sisters shirt when there was hell braking lose. He got his ass kicked. But dude I can't say for sure, it really depends on the people there. If something happens Ivan himself will come down and protect them I've seen it before. But honestly I would let her stay away so you can see if it safe, as I said it depends on what type of people go.
