Terrorism Notebook
The reviews will determine whether prisoners, if released, would remain a threat to the United States, officials said. Many details of the reviews have not been worked out, officials at the Pentagon said. The composition of the reviewing panel has not been decided. The panel will make recommendations, probably to Rumsfeld, who will make the final call on whether to release a prisoner. Prisoners will receive some kind of assistance, but it has not been decided whether that will include actual lawyers or some sort of military-appointed advisers to explain the process to them, the officials said. In announcing the reviews, Rumsfeld defended the continued detention of about 650 suspected al-Qaida and Taliban supporters at Guantánamo. Human-rights groups have criticized the treatment of the prisoners as well as their lack of access to lawyers. Paul Butler, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee operations, said detainees at Guantánamo fall into categories: ones who are no longer a threat and can be freed, ones who committed war crimes and will face a military tribunal, and ones who remain a threat but cannot be charged with any crime. Of those who remain a threat, a few are being turned over to the governments of their home countries. So far, four men have been turned over to Saudi Arabia and a fifth to Spain. Saudi officials on lookout, issue alert over militant's explosive-packed vehicle RIYADH, Saudi Arabia A car owned by a wanted militant has been packed with explosives to be used in a criminal act in Riyadh, Saudi officials said yesterday. An Interior Ministry statement, carried by the official Saudi Press Agency, gave a description of the car and asked the public to be on alert and inform authorities if they had any information on the vehicle.
It said the vehicle was a gray 1991 GMC Suburban with darkened windows. It gave the car's registration number but said it may have been changed and the car repainted.
Saudi Arabia is battling violence blamed on supporters of Saudi-born Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, believed to be behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States. Five suspected Taliban members reportedly arrested in Mauritania; police won't confirm NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania Police in Mauritania have arrested five suspected members of Afghanistan's Taliban movement, sources close to security forces in this desert West African nation said yesterday. A Tunisian and an Algerian were among those arrested, but the nationalities of the other three have not been determined, the sources said on condition they not be identified. Police refused to confirm or deny the arrests, which were first reported in Mauritania's Le Calame weekly. The security sources said the five suspects were foreigners who arrived in Mauritania several weeks ago, settling in the capital, Nouakchott. Copyright © 2004 The Seattle Times Company |

are Fri-Sun May 8-10, 10-4
" May 15-17 " Saturday May 23 10-4 later flowering Chinese species their website is earthlink.net/darellpro I've been wanting to go since I learned about this place this winter. Is anyone thinking of going? They have an amazing selection. The prices seem modest, but I see the pots are small. Don't know anything else about them, except a couple of good GWebbers mentioned them. I just look forward to seeing a different nursery! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Where is it located, Marie? |
Marie, I had it on my calendar to go the weekend of the 15th after you mentioned this nursery on a different post. I emailed for their catalog and their inventory is absolutely amazing. Something came up and we have to be in CT that weekend so I guess I'll be waiting until next year. Bummer. I was so looking forward to going. Nhbabs, they are at 63 Williamsville Rd, Hubbardston, MA |

I've been wanting to go for a few years, but haven't. Not sure about this year yet, but it doesn't look good. I've ordered from them before and have an order this year already. I've loved what I received. |
I just got some epimediums at the Tower Hill Primroses and Daffodils show last week. Looks like an interesting place. I put the link below for easy access: |
Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Vision Epimediums Link
Did anyone go? |
I went last Friday (passed it twice - third time was the charm). I was a little thrown when someone posted that the prices were "modest" due to my own naivety. I was very surprised to see some of these small pots priced at $20.00, $35.00, $50.00 and $65.00 - but of course those are for those much, much, more savvy than I am! Prices in the catalogue went up to $300.00. I ended buying 8 plants ranging from $5.00 to $8.00 - they do have a quite a few in the lower price range. The plants are really pretty - so delicate looking yet they should be "hardy". The staff was very helpful. The pots are small but 4 out of the 8 I bought spread. They had some other shade plants and few for the sun but I bought only epimediums - probably more of the common variety (the woman told me a couple of these could probably be found in select nursuries): Alpinum They will give you a catalogue (with a very nice picture inset) on arrival so you can look up the plants you are interested in when you are there. I think I bought more than I need because of the distance but it was a very pleasant drive. The epimediums and other plants are on display for purchase, the nursury is in the back so you can see how the plants you are interested look in the ground and a nice perennial garden to stroll through. The whole area is not very large. The phone number is 978-249-3863. I did notice in the catalogue that this is the last year the event will be held in Hubbardston. They'll be in Sharon, CT May 15th: Granby, CT May 22-23rd: Boylston, MA June 5th; West Dover, VT June 25th; Reboth, MA July 17th; PA in August and at Tower Hill Botanical Garden (where ?) on Sept. 11th. |
- Posted by mad_gallica Z5 Eastern NY (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 13:16
Where are they going to be in Sharon? |
According to their catalogue, they will be in Sharon, CT at the "Trade Secrets Rare Plant & Garden Antique Sale" on May 15th. You may want to call to verify. |
Zahzeen thanks for the detailed report! It is a long ride for me too and the weekends are so busy I just don't want to make the trip if it wasn't worth it. |
I asked the woman at Garden Visions for a recommendation of other nursuries in the area and she suggested since I was headed back toward Boston to check out Blanchette Gardens in Carlise, MA. I just went on their website and they have about 30 epimediums for sale (as well many other varieties of plants) . I don't know the size of Blanchette's pots but the plants I paid $6.00 for are $8.95 - $10.95 at Blanchette's. The $6.00 pots I bought at Garden Visions are square 2 1/2" and 3" deep. Just FYI. |
Hi, I'm sure Blanchette's pots are one, if not two, sizes bigger. I must have a hundred- when I go out I'll measure. His is a local treasure. Grows all his own, sells all his own, knows his own. It is right near Great Brook Farm, where you can stop and have an ice cream and see the cows on the other side of the glass wall in the small ice cream shop. It's a coop with the state now, and they charge a modest fee for daily parking. It was free for ice cream stops, however- like up to a half hour or so. Now, that's what I call a good day. |

When I wear flared jeans I always feel more elegant and dressed up than when I'm wearing skinnies. They simply elongate your legs when combined with heels. Great optic illusion for a long-bodied girl like me. They used to be called bell-bottoms, did you know that? Back in the day when only sailors wore them. I like the ring to it, bell-bottoms. I wonder why marketing people ever thought it was a better idea to call them flared jeans. Well, bell-bottoms makes me smile, so I'm bringing it back!
Want to make the optical illusion complete? Add the Mr. Big beanie by I Love Mr. Mittens to it. Your head, and in extension of that your whole body, will look so tinny, you'll be cheating 2 sizes the least! ;) And it'll keep you warm and cozy at all times! Have a lovely week, my merry friends. Wear some bell-bottoms and pastel, if you're feeling blue.
Need more bell-bottoms inspiration? Check out my pin-board!

Dave Watson joined the Army two months after 9/11, and was subsequently deployed in Iraq as a member of the 101st Airborne Division. The Army had taught Watson to jump out of planes, but he brought with him a skillset he'd learned in childhood: Sewing. "[I] started Fight and Flight Tactical from [my] barracks room, repairing uniforms, sewing patches and repairing gear in 2002 for beer money," he writes.
By 2009 Watson had completed two tours in Iraq—and sustained injuires that knocked him off of the active duty list. Medically retired and "no longer able to be in the fight," Watson turned Fight and Flight Tactical into a full-time military gear company whose products you can check out here.
Watson caught our eye for posting a tutorial on the DIY Tactical website on how to apply Duracoat to metal fasteners, creating an affordable DIY alternative to powder coating using commonly-available items like an airbrush, plywood and a toaster oven. "And yes, using plywood [in a toaster oven] is safe," he explains. "Plywood combusts at around 500 F, and we're not getting that hot."
We know it sounds unlikely that you could DIY something in your kitchen as durable as powder-coating, but Watson says the proof is in the pudding. "Try to scuff, gouge, chip, maim, kill, and destroy [the coated fasteners], to really test the durability of the coating," he writes. "I've done all sorts of crazy, careless and stupid stuff with mine, and never had a problem. My finishes hold up just as well as a powder-coated one from a major manufacturer." Check it out here.

text:
The preface describes this book as a "historical meditation in which sermonizing and the making of hypotheses vie with more ordinary exposition" (ix). Then, on the same page, Noll adds what is obvious from the opening salvoes in the first chapter that the book "is meant to incite more than it is meant to inform." An accurate evaluation indeed! The author's gripe (and that is the best term to use) is that no recognizable evangelical mind exists. This is the scandal about which he writes. It deeply disturbs him that modern American evangelicals have miserably failed in sustaining intellectual life. But when all is said and done and this failure has been charted in chapter after chapter, one has to ask, "What are you looking for, Dr. Noll? Do you want evangelical writers to gain recognition by the academia of the day as making a significant contribution to their fields of study? In fact, has the modern academic world shown an ungrudging willingness even to consider seriously research done by evangelicals?" Noll causes such questions, yet he himself acknowledges in the first chapter a rich theological harvest from the pen of "different subtraditions" within evangelicalism (7). Yes, he did explain that he wants an effort made to think like a Christian—i.e., to think within a Christian framework—in all areas of modern learning (7). But is it really true that evangelical writing has not done so?
The opening chapter provides definitions of "The Life of the Mind," "Evangelical," and "Anti-Intellectual," and sketches the cultural, institutional, and theological aspects of the Scandal. Unfortunately it also alerts the reader to Noll's bias against and summary dismissal (a) of those who hold to creation without allowing scientific theories to cloud their exegesis of special revelation and (b) of those who carefully study prophecy trying to bring it to bear upon current events. The areas of Bible and science and prophecy deserve earnest study, and good students and researchers in these areas are not less than intelli-gent or far less responsible than previous generations of writers. Do not tar all with the same brush, Dr. Noll, for many write well and thoughtfully on these issues.
Is it really right to view careful research done by "creationists" to be a sad tale of a fatally flawed interpretive scheme totally unendorsed by responsible Christian teachers of church history? One wonders if Noll ever considered objectively the outstanding contributions made by the highly qualified members of the Creation Research Society and the Institute for Creation Research. Are such writers deemed anti-intellectual fundamentalists who are irresponsible? Are these really those who are "bereft of self-criticism, intellectual subtlety, or an awareness of complexity" so that "they are blown about by every wind of apocalyptic speculation and enslaved to the cruder spirits of populist science"? (14). No objective appraiser of the evangelical scene could ever draw such a conclusion. The criticism is unfounded and indicates Noll's utter subjectivity. The opening chapter, therefore, causes the reader to begin immediately to wonder about the integrity of the analysis given in the succeeding chapters. But then, since the book is a historical meditation and sermonizing, perhaps the loss of objectivity is excusable. Yet when the book clearly implies that modern creationism arose from an attempt to present Ellen White's Seventh-Day Adventist literature as the framework for studying the history of the earth (189), the discerning reader must shake his head in disbelief, and wonder if the author has an axe to grind.
The book is easy to read and with its rapid survey of a broad span of church history forces the reader to recall names, books, and events of the past, and to reflect on whether Noll's assessment of their contribution or influence really is accurate. In all probability this book calls for a whole review article—if not another book—instead of a brief review such as this. Are those who practice normal historical-grammatical interpretation guilty of a "misplaced Baconianism" or of indulging in a Manichaean attitude toward knowledge about the natural world? Are creationists guilty of deductive dogmatism which in some non-scholarly way forcibly and simplistically reads the Bible onto the natural world and into the metaphysical issues posed by modern theories of evolution?
Speaking of "theories of evolution" should have caused Noll to realize that what is still theoretical, and thus unproven, could never redefine, amend, and otherwise tamper with the factual statements of the historical narrative in the Genesis account. The history of science shows that theories of origins come and go and thus cannot determine any age's interpretation of God's special revelation. Noll's evaluation of creation-science as having done much damage to the evangelical mind in preventing clear thinking about human origins, the age of the earth, and the mechanisms of geological and biological change (196) is, frankly, unacceptable. Of course, he is not obligated to accept creation-science if he chooses not to, but then neither must creation-scientists listen to him. An irenic spirit can prevail, but this does notmandate an endorsement of his views.
This reviewer has focused predominantly on creation-science issues, but similar reactions arose in reading of other chapters, particularly "The Intellectual Disaster of Fundamentalism" and "Political Reflection." The reader will ask himself, "Is that so?" "Are you not overstating the case or showing unnecessary bias?" "Are you not too quickly creating a caricature or stereotype?" and "Are you not exhibiting a distinct dislike for dispensational and premillennial writers?" Perhaps one could conclude that the author has expressed his irritation and frustration with an evangelical world that will not kowtow to an unregenerate world's views, theories, and conclusions, but reserves the right to challenge, research, and think without losing the authority of biblical revelation in its thinking. This does not constitute anti-intellectualism or something less than a Christian mind.
Thanks to Professor Noll for his "inciteful" book. It will motivate readers to analyze the history of ideas, biblical themes and their ethical impact, creation-science, and prophecy, but it is doubtful that significant and substantial mergers of the differing convictions and views will occur. Reactions to his book will linger for years to come. Hopefully, it will be the catalyst to cause a serious, non-caricaturing re-consideration of the value of creation-science, of premillennialism, of fundamentalism, and of presuppositional apologetics and to make evangelicals realize they need not be ashamed of the wealth of material they have from good thinkers in their ranks.

The 3-Core BodyMapping Perspective
Feature: Look at the core as a relationship—with gravity, with your body, with other people and with the environment.
Over my 40 years of teaching, I have come to deeply appreciate the innate intelligence of the body. I have learned to listen to its messages. Out of this appreciation and listening I have developed the 3-Core BodyMapping Perspective—not as a new concept or belief system, but as an inquiry into what the core is from the body's perspective.
Once I suspended my attachment to how I had previously understood the core, a door opened, giving me deeper access to how the body works from a whole-person perspective, in relationship with the earth's gravitational field. Many questions emerged from this inquiry. I wanted to know how the many parts of the body related to one another. Among these connections, I wondered specifically how the following related:
- the foot to the head
- the hand to the shoulder and spine
- the foot to the hip and spine
- the breath to the spine
- the head to the tail
- the front of the body to the back of the body
- the inside of the body to the outside of the body
Sensing these relationships enables us to know ourselves on a deeper level and to be self-healing.
The Whole Body
I studied with first-generation Pilates elders, initially with Romana Kryzanowska and then with Kathleen Stanford Grant, Mary Bowen, Ron Fletcher and Lolita San Miguel. Consequently, I learned the diverse ways Joseph Pilates taught each of these inspiring teachers. Each elder told me that Joseph Pilates never spoke about anatomy. Rather, he implored students to "use [their] whole body." And yet, the fitness community has focused primarily on a static muscle/bone anatomy paradigm of muscles working in isolation.
In following the "isolation approach," we have come to believe that "core control" results from accessing and contracting the abdominals. I suggest that this view of the core, as an isolated group of muscles, keeps us locked into a static perspective. The only option is to do something to the body. We are distanced from listening and moving with the body. We are not embodying the movement.
We discover embodied movement in the early years of infant growth. Our brain maps chart the internal body and the space around it. We learn to sense our surroundings by lifting our heads, crawling, sitting, standing, walking, running and engaging in many other activities. The "body-mapping" theory reveals how plastic our body-centered maps are—from birth throughout the rest of our lives (Blakeslee & Blakeslee 2007).
A Shift in Focus
Let's look at a vital juncture in our development—the emergence of our vestibular support. While studying with Hubert Godard, an advanced Rolfer™ and movement teacher, I learned that the inner ear is the first sense to develop in the womb and also the first sense we lose in aging. It occurred to me that some way we are using our bodies and perceiving space could be causing that to happen.
Our orientation is either effortful as we fight gravity (overusing compensatory muscles) or effortless as we partner with gravity (allowing connective tissue to support muscular effort). Since muscles atrophy as we age, it makes sense to learn how to move from a connective-tissue/fascial focus in order to support muscle and engage the perineural nervous system (Oschman 2003). This system forms earlier in our embryology than our classical nervous system and is a slower, more precise analog current and controller of whole-body functions. It is also responsible for overall regulation of the classical nervous system (which is faster, more digital, more "point to point"), and for regulating wound healing and injury repair (Oschman 2003).
In his book Energy Medicine in Therapeutics and Human Performance, James Oschman, PhD, talks about the importance of a connective-tissue/fascial focus: "For the body to function as a whole, there must be a system that reaches to and into every cell," he says. "For the body to function at its absolute peak of performance, all parts and processes must be interconnected by a system that delivers energy and information [by] the fastest possible means that nature has available. The living matrix (connective tissue/fascial system) is the system of systems that accomplishes these integrative activities, and is a multi-directional, liquid crystalline, semi-conducting web."
This expanded perspective provides us with a dynamic, "living-systems" approach to understanding movement. It sees "core" as a normal, adaptive response to demand. No extra effort is needed.
Being or Doing?
As Pilates teachers, we are familiar with the phrase "moving with the whole body." Yet, what I have found over the years is that we often treat ourselves as objects to be trained. We think we have to contract muscles or do something extra to move. I am suggesting that moving from the core is about being responsive to what is actually happening inside, outside and around us.
In developing this perspective, my vision has been to contribute to our growth as teachers by bringing forth a body map from the body's perspective. Through this portal of living anatomy we can see the vital relationships—from foot to head—that support our movements. The following examples of 3-Core BodyMapping offer insights into exploring gravity in a new and different way.
Lower-Core Awareness
Area of Body. Helix/dome of each foot to pelvis. In the lower core we ask: "How can I release into gravity's support while lying, sitting, standing, walking, running, etc.?"
The foot has a double function: it is an adaptive structure that transmits weight from the body (above), along with irregularities from the ground (below); it is also a supportive structure responsible for our quality of movement in all activities. Feet are mirrors for the rest of the body. Tension in the feet translates as tension in the body. If there is weakness in the feet, there is weakness in the body.
Central-Core Awareness
Area of Body. Pelvic floor to respiratory diaphragm. In the central core we ask: "Am I allowing breath to support and move me?" This is very different from "How should I breathe?"
By allowing the inhalation and relaxing on the exhalation, we let the "wave of the breath" move us. Breath changes with metabolic need. As we listen to the deep intelligence of the body, guided by breath, our backs open, our organs have space to function and the body discovers internal support.
Upper-Core Awareness
Area of Body. Diaphragm to cranial base/palate. In the upper core we ask: "How can my head, neck and shoulders feel like they are floating?" We experience our inner ear and peripheral vision as an internal awareness gyroscope that orients us to our gravity-based muscles for support, freeing up the external muscles for action.
As the crura (roots of the diaphragm) soften, the tailbone drops, freeing internal lift and sensory awareness along the front of the spine.

We have worked with some of the best photographers in the business to put together an exceptional package of indoor workshops and practical outdoor sessions designed specifically with the mountain photographer in mind.
We recognise that the needs of the photographer operating in the mountain environment are quite different to those of the urban photographer, dedicated hill walker or mountaineer.
To the mountain photographer, the weather, time of day and the location have a massive impact upon the quality of their experience and the images they produce. Added to this, the photographer will often find themselves burdened with extra equipment. They may need to walk to remote locations, returning home in fading light having stayed out into the evening to get that perfectly lit landscape image.
These demands call for a higher level of hill awareness from the landscape photographer. It is this awareness that is the focus of our two day workshop. You will spend two days under the guidance of an experienced mountaineer, gaining a unique insight into the skills required to make your days shooting in the hills, safe and rewarding.
Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need, to go safely into the mountains, where you can use your skill to capture some superb landscape images.
This is a practical workshop that will involve two days walking in mountainous terrain. Delegates will need to be reasonably fit and able to walk on rough, steep ground.
Day 1
We will look at the essential parts of planning a day in the mountains.
Day 2
A day-long mountain walk under the guidance of an experienced Mountain Leader. You will put into practice the skills you learned from Day 1. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and share tips and techniques with other like-minded photographers.
No previous mountain-walking experience is required. The walks will include several steep ascents/descents so a reasonable level of fitness is required.
What do I need to bring?
Please note that this is not a photography technique course but there will be plenty of opportunities to take photographs and discuss technique with other delegates.
Use the links below to check our prices then contact us and we'll do our best to run this event just for you on a date that suits (subject to a minimum group size of course!)

The Meaning of Sacred Geometry, Part Two: What's The Point?
FreeMasonry, Kabbalah, Nuclear Physics, Blackholes, Space Time and the Mustard seed of our reality deftly analyzed and synthesized for your consideration.
"The practice of Sacred Geometry opens to the mind's eye an analog of alternate worlds, higher dimensions representing the ultimate creative process and an unfolding evolution from Unity to multiplicity, and it demonstrates the fact that this unfolding on a cosmic scale is governed by the laws and relations of geometry."
-Randall Carlson
The Meaning of Sacred Geometry Part 2: What's The Point?
… Read the restRead part 1 of the Meaning of Sacred Geometry here,
"Ante omnia Punctum exstitit…"
"Before all things were, there was a Point."
Anonymous, 18th century 'Le Mystere de la Croix'Sacred Geometry, to be fully appreciated and experienced, must be undertaken as a contemplative, or meditative exercise. From the initial act of putting pencil or compass point to paper each act of geometry is charged with meaning. The process of producing the forms, patterns and symbols of Sacred Geometry should be undertaken as a ritual act, where each line, curve, shape, gesture or operation takes on a significance far beyond the mere act itself, and reveals fundamental processes of creativity on a vast scale and range of phenomenon, from the geometry of atomic and molecular organization, through the forms and patterns of biological systems, to the scale of the cosmos itself and the very structure of Space and Time. Indeed, the emergence of the Universe from the unknowable and unfathomable void, before the very existence of Time and Space, was an act of Geometry. It is nothing less than this ultimate act of Creation which is replicated through the placing of pencil upon paper and from this point the drawing of a line or arc. From these simple operations, the Geometrician soon learns to generate an infinite variety of form and pattern, and is, thereby, following in the footsteps of Nature herself, such being the indispensable requirement for success on the Hermetic path.

Singularity Averted, The Google Machine Still Can't Parse Irony
So now that google calculates bacon numbers automatically, a few pop culture mavens have been systematically trying to break it:
For example, I typed in the name of a high school friend who was legitimately in a movie with Kevin Bacon — Ben Saypol (hi, Ben!), "Telling Lies in America," 1997 — and that gave me nothing, too, even though Ben is totally someone in the real world. And if you think you're going to type in your own name and get an answer, forget it, unless you're Susan Sarandon or something. It may not recognize you either.
The Google Box's problems go deeper than that, however. Disinfo has discovered through the application of highly efficient research ninjas that the Google Box believes that Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan was actually in the movie Powder. This seems to be because of long running joke based on the fact that Corgan is a creepy, pasty bald pale white guy, just like the creepy, pasty bald white guy main character in the creepy childmolester directed film sensation of 1995.… Read the rest
"Joseph Campbell's Vision for the Internet Age"
Beams and Struts examines the Singularity in a Campbellian context. The results are fascinating, even if you're of a mind that Ray Kurzweil's vision of a Geek Rapture is more wishful thinking than likely future.
… Read the restJoseph Campbell would have been the first to point out the dangers of reading such science fiction as literal truth. In Campbell's work, mythologies are never reduced to mere prophecy, belief, or individual religious sect; instead, stories often point toward underlying psychological phenomena that have universal significance and arise from a universal source, despite manifesting in specific cultural contexts. In other words, the cast of characters may change, but the essential plot remains the same. Read in this context, The Singularity could simply be a contemporary expression of an ancient mythological motif: the quest to cheat death. This theme, central to the Sumerian Gilgamesh epic, has been around for at least 3,000 years in literature.
Robot learns 'self-awareness'
Instead of being pre-programmed with experiential knowledge, a robot named Nico is learning the relationships of its grippers and sensors, space and environment.
Nico may be slowly approaching self-awareness, and its programmers are utilizing an even better test than the Turing Test. The 'Mirror Test', the same one that we humans believe separates us (as well as elephants, magpies, orcas, dolphins and the great apes) from other tested species, by showing that we can both use the mirror as a tool to explore a reflected environment, and recognize that our reflections are indeed of ourselves.
Via Kurzweil AI:
… Read the restUsing knowledge that it has learned about itself, Nico is able to use a mirror as an instrument for spatial reasoning, allowing it to accurately determine where objects are located in space based on their reflections, rather than naively believing them to exist behind the mirror.
Will Corporations Try To Stop The Singularity?
"Corporations are People, my friend"
– and they might be slowing down evolution, or even preventing Utopia.
The approaching Technological Singularity could bring drastic changes, such as rendering money obsolete via the destruction of scarcity-based 'value' systems. The time is not far-off when nano-replication of gold, diamond or other previously precious materials becomes possible, rendering most economic systems obsolete.
It is clear that legacy-age institutional forces will naturally fight for their survival and relevance. How hard will they fight and can they be influenced to be less resistant?
… Read the restHuman beings are confused and confusing creatures. We don't have very clear goal systems, and are quite willing and able to adapt our top-level goals to the circumstances. I have little doubt that most humans will go with the flow as Singularity approaches.
But corporations are a different matter. Corporations are entities/organisms unto themselves these days, with wills and cognitive structures quite distinct from the people that comprise them.

Google Flu Trends Gets It Wrong Three Years Running
timothy posted about 10 months ago | from the coughedword-coughedword dept.
wabrandsma writes with this story from NewScientist: "Google may be a master at data wrangling, but one of its products has been making bogus data-driven predictions. A study of Google's much-hyped flu tracker has consistently overestimated flu cases in the US for years. It's a failure that highlights the danger of relying on big data technologies.
Evan Selinger, a technology ethicist at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, says Google Flu's failures hint at a larger problem with the algorithmic approach taken by technology companies to deliver services we all want to use. The problem is with the assumption that either the data that is gathered about us, or the algorithms used to process it, are neutral. Google Flu Trends has been discussed at slashdot before: When Google Got Flu Wrong."

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)1st Sunday of Advent: Wake Up! Happy Priest on Preparing for Christmas
By Fr. James Farfaglia
November 28th, 2010 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Most of the world did not notice Jesus' first coming. We need to stay awake and notice how he comes to us each day. What about those special graces that come to us each day? What about those amazing opportunities that he gives us each day to love him more and more. When we are inattentive, when we are lazy, when we are indifferent, we miss out on so much. Advent is a time to wake up and to leave aside our laziness and tepidity. "Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come" (Matthew 24: 42). CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - The first Sunday of Advent marks the beginning of a new liturgical year. It is interesting to note how the liturgical year ends with the theme of the Second Coming, while at the same time, the new liturgical year also focuses on the same theme. Since we are about to celebrate Christmas, we would suppose that the new liturgical year would begin chronologically with a reflection on the Incarnation. However, that is not the case. The reason why the liturgical year ends and begins with the same theme is clear: if we have already embraced Jesus in his first coming, we will have no fear of his second coming. It is also interesting to note that the new liturgical year begins with a penitential season; i.e. the season of Advent. The priest and deacon now use purple colored vestments. As the world around us prepares for Christmas with an ever increasing emphasis on material things, the Church directs our gaze toward the spiritual. The liturgical calendar begins differently from the secular calendar precisely because the Church, while in the world, is not of the world. Advent is a penitential season because Christmas is about our personal relationship with Jesus Christ, not about external celebrations. In this Sunday's reading St. Paul exhorts us to "put on the Lord Jesus Christ". The external celebrations should be seen as a visible manifestation of our joy of being disciples of Jesus Christ. Advent, as a penitential season, prepares us to celebrate the anniversary of the Lord's first coming as the incarnate God of love. As a penitential time, Advent helps us to examine the condition of our soul which is an abode of the Lord's presence through sanctifying grace. Advent helps us prepare for the Lord's second coming as judge which takes place first at death and then again at the end of the world. If we are already living out our discipleship with Jesus, we will be ready for his second coming. "Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come" (Matthew 24: 42-44). As disciples of the Lord we have so many ways to become distracted and lose our focus. The commercialization of Christmas can become a terrible distraction for those who really desire to celebrate Christmas correctly. We can become distracted by putting off the Sacrament of Confession. We can lose focus by not committing ourselves to a life of prayer. We can give in to the temptations of materialism. We can lose the intensity of our spiritual life. We can become spiritually lazy by being satisfied with being "good people" rather than striving for sanctity. We can end up rationalizing our own sloth and laziness. We can even live with a dull conscience. Advent is a time to wake up. "You know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed; the night is advanced, the day is at hand" (Romans 13: 11-12). Most of the world did not notice Jesus' first coming. We need to stay awake and notice how he comes to us each day. What about those special graces that come to us each day? What about those amazing opportunities that he gives us each day to love him more and more. When we are inattentive, when we are lazy, when we are indifferent, we miss out on so much. Advent is a time to wake up and to leave aside our laziness and tepidity. "Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come" (Matthew 24: 42). Once upon a time, there was a man who looked upon Christmas as a lot of humbug. He wasn't a scrooge. He was a kind and decent person, generous to his family, upright in all his dealings with other men. But he did not believe in the mystery of the Incarnation. "I am truly sorry to distress you," he told his wife, who was a faithful churchgoer. "But I simply cannot understand this claim that God became man. It doesn't make any sense to me." On Christmas Eve, his wife and children went to church. He declined to accompany them. "I'd feel like a hypocrite," he explained. "I'd rather stay at home. But I will wait up for you." Shortly after his family drove away in the car, snow began to fall. He went to the window and watched the flurries getting heavier and heavier. "If we must have Christmas," he thought, "It's nice to have a white one." He went back to his chair by the fireside and began to read his newspaper. A few minutes later, he was startled by a thudding sound. It was quickly followed by another, then another. He thought that someone must be throwing snowballs at his living room window. "I cannot let these poor creatures lie there and freeze," he thought. "But how can I help them?" Then he remembered the barn where the children's pony was stabled. It would provide a warm shelter. He put on his coat and boots, and tramped through the deepening snow to the barn. He opened the doors wide and turned on a light. But the birds did not come in. "Food will bring them in," he thought. So he hurried back to the house for bread crumbs, which he sprinkled on the snow to make a trail into the barn. To his dismay, the birds ignored the bread crumbs and continued to flop around helplessly in the snow. He tried shoeing them in the barn by walking around and waving his arms. They scattered in every direction--except into the warm, lighted barn. "They find me a strange and terrifying creature," he said to himself. "And I can not seem to think of any way to let them know they can trust me. If only I could be a bird myself for a few minutes, perhaps I could lead them to safety..." Just at that moment, the church bells began to ring. He stood silently for a while, listening to the bells pealing the glad tidings of Christmas. Then he sank to his knees in the snow. "Now I do understand," he whispered. "Now I know why you had to do it." "Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and lust, not in rivalry and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh" (Romans 13: 12-14). In order to persevere through the difficult moments of life we must nourish our faith with the Scriptures, the Eucharist, the Rosary and the frequent reception of the Sacrament of Confession. A daily encounter with the power of God will give us the ability to conqueror the challenges of life. If we struggle, we will persevere. If we persevere, the victory will be ours. "Come, let us climb the Lord's mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths" (Isaiah 2: 3). We can easily tire of the struggle. Personally, I believe it is far better to drag an exhausted body and spirit through the difficulties of life, rather than to give in to the promptings of the flesh which make us yearn for an easier life. Rather than to give in to the sirens of comfort, I prefer to hear these words from my Lord at the moment of death: "I know too that you have perseverance, and have suffered for my name without growing tired" (Revelation 2: 3). The Advent season gives us a fresh opportunity to look at our lives and deepen our relationship with the Lord Jesus who has come already in humility and will come again in glory.

Kau Sai Chau Golf Club
The trend in Asia is for more public courses, and these courses on rugged Kau Sai Chau island are seen as a model because they were developed with private funds on low-use public land. (Steep terrain made the island unsuitable for business or housing; the British Army had been using it as an artillery range.) The thirty-six-hole facility, which opened just three years ago, consists of the championship-caliber, 6,692-yard North course and the 5,938-yard South course, both designed by Gary Player. Both are links style but hilly, with spectacular views of the South China Sea. The South course has wider fairways than the North, whose landing areas can be very narrow indeed. The greens on both courses are large and quite fast except during the rainy season (June through August); in dry months they become so firm they seem to crunch under your feet. Many of the greens are fronted by hazards that make approach shots tricky: For example, the obstacle on the North course's par-three fourteenth (above) is an inlet of the South China Sea. With the tee perched on a hillside, the approach from the back tees must carry at least two hundred yards over the water to the green. A round can stretch out to four and a half hours, and the hilly terrain makes walking difficult. First-time players would be well-advised to bring caddies along to help with carry distances and target lines. Pull-carts are available for rent. Electric carts can also be rented for a modest fee.
How to Get a Tee Time: Visitors are welcome daily, but you should call ahead to reserve a tee time. Weekdays are best; weekends are impossibly busy. You must either present a handicap certificate or attend the club school for two four-hour sessions. The phone number is 011-852-2791-3388. (Clubs and shoes are available for rent.)
Directions: It's a thirty-minute drive from Kowloon, forty-five minutes to an hour from Central to Sai Kung, where you board the club's ferry for a ten-minute ride to the island. From there a five-minute trip on the shuttle bus takes you to the course. Your hotel concierge can make these arrangements, as well as book a tee time.
Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club
With its high, windswept ocean views, this course is justifiably known as China's Pebble Beach. A daunting site for a golf course, it was laid out atop granite mountains more than four hundred feet above the South China Sea; there was no flat land, no regular supply of water and little topsoil. The resulting par-seventy, 6,115-yard course has steep-sided, narrow fairways and small greens. It runs through hills for the front nine, along the sea on the back. Steering the ball is paramount because of the narrow landing areas, which play hard and fast during the dry season. (The course is still playable during wet months because of its good drainage.) Zoysia grass is being introduced to replace the Bermuda, which had difficulty adapting to the high heat and humidity in summer and to the dry, cold conditions in winter. The holes may measure short, but strong winds--from the south in summer, from the north in winter--can make them much more difficult than they look. And errant shots are not likely to end up in another fairway; usually they land in a ravine or the sea. The tee shot on the 345-yard fourteenth, for example, comes off an elevated tee on a peninsula overlooking the South China Sea and must carry the rocks to find the fairway. There are no caddies available, but carts are highly recommended to deal with the steep terrain.
How to Get a Tee Time: Visitors are welcome weekdays only, and before-noon tee times are recommended. Handicap certificates are required. Ask your concierge to make the bookings. The phone number is 011-852-2335-3885. (Clubs and shoes are available for rent; carts are rented.)
Directions From Hong Kong: Located in the New Territories, Clearwater Bay is about forty-five minutes by car from Kowloon, about an hour from Central. Ask your concierge to set up a taxi ride.

National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs (NACWE) was established on the 11th of May, 2010 by Diane Cunningham. She was seeking women who thought like her, whom she could bounce ideas off of, and could hold her accountable for moving forward. She could not find what she was looking for and like so many entrepreneurs; she made it happen by creating an association herself. From there, NACWE was born out of the passion to connect women who are ready to create, collaborate and contribute to changing the world.
We gather together with an ultimate desire to unite under the common goal of helping one another succeed and thrive in business, and are blessed by the joy we share through our faith in Jesus Christ. Through the blending of people and ideas, we are able to offer support through online content, tele-courses, individual and group coaching sessions, and retreats for the soul.

I am a Christian Woman Entrepreneur and was searching for renewed strength and wind beneath my wings when I found Diane and NACWE. It took me a month (slow learner, I guess) to see what Diane was leading me toward as my Business Coach. Once the light bulb went on I hit the floor running and have not stopped! I am finally allowing myself to trust my God-given instincts, to dream bigger dreams, and to step out of my comfort-zone into the most fascinating places. I would not have taken RHEMA Counseling Associates on this exciting journey without her expertise and consistent guidance!
— Karen Lindwall-BOURG, MA, LPC, CT, RHEMA Counseling Associates
I had some time this evening to listen to some of the recordings on the member site and I was delighted to find so much "pitch-free" and inspirational content.

Linds Edwards
Knoxville actor Linds Edwards was recently in studio for an interview to promote the movie "Get Low" in which he portrays a DJ in Roane County in 1938. Also in the movie are Academy Award winner Robert Duvall, Oscar winner Sissy Spacek, Bill Murray and Lucas Black.
I think it noteworthy to mention that the entire time here Linds went out of his way to talk about how nice each of the noted actors were to all around them and especially to Linds. In a world where eveyone seems to be "all about me," I found Linds to be a class act and a man letting God lead his path. I thought you might like to know a little behind the scenes.
If you get a chance to see the move, do so. The previews are spectacular and clearly the talents are major.
Also, keep an eye on Linds. A good guy with a super attitude.

Earlier this year, the Embraer A-29 Super Tucano defeated the Beechcraft AT-6 to win the US Air Force's Light Air Support (LAS) contract for the second time running. The deal calls for prime contractor Sierra Nevada (SNC) and partner Embraer to supply 20 Super Tucano counter-insurgency aircraft and associated support equipment for $427 million to equip Afghanistan's fledgling air force with a fixed-wing strike capability. If all options were to be exercised, the total value of the contract would rise to $950 million.
At present, the LAS contact remains mired in protest at the US Government Accountability Office (GAO). Losing bidder Beechcraft is once again contesting the award, repeating a series of events that derailed a previous 2011 iteration of the LAS tender.
This time around, the USAF has overridden an automatic stop-work order and is proceeding with the LAS effort despite the protest. "The override to the stay of performance was issued to honour a critical and time-sensitive US commitment to provide air support capability to the Afghanistan air force," the USAF says.

Martini, Simone
Martini, Simone
biographical name(born c. 1284, Siena, Republic of Sienadied 1344, Avignon, Provence) Italian painter. An exponent of Gothic art, he did much to spread the influence of Sienese painting. Duccio di Buoninsegna influenced his use of harmonious, pure colour, but his graceful, decorative lines were inspired by French Gothic art, as seen in his Maestà fresco (1315), which depicts the Madonna as a Gothic queen holding court beneath a Gothic canopy. His equestrian portrait of Guidoriccio da Fogliano (1328) was an important precedent for Renaissance equestrian portraits.

Poor Ice Conditions Alter Central Iowa Trout Stocking
Posted: 01/13/2012
DES MOINES – Trout stockings planned for Ada Hayden, north of Ames, and Lake Petoka, in Bondurant, will happen before Feb. 1, but the date will not be announced to prevent crowds from gathering on ice that so far, cannot support fishing.
Previous trout stockings have drawn large crowds which could be dangerous given the current ice conditions.
"We hope to avoid large crowds at the stockings, yet get the fish in the lake so anglers can take advantage of them if safe ice forms later in the winter," said Ben Dodd, fisheries biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Trout stockings have been postponed at other locations across Iowa due to poor ice conditions, including in the Council Bluffs area, where the stocking at West Big Lake has been delayed until March.
