Many Call It Torture: Does It Work?
The big question looming over the release of the CIA abuse documents: did any of these "enhanced" interrogation techniques work? Looking at the details in the report, Time's Bobby Ghosh finds "not smoke but fog:"
And there's just enough of it that both defenders and critics of the CIA's techniques can claim to have been vindicated...
The inspector general's report says it "did not uncover any evidence that these plots were imminent." The CIA memos say information gained from detainees led to "arrests that disrupted attack plans in progress" — but stop short of attributing this directly to the enhanced interrogations.
The rest of his column is here.

Ambient Ground Water Monitoring Program The maintenance of a baseline description of ground water quality is an essential element of any statewide comprehensive ground water protection program. In recent years, concern for the quality of our environment and drinking water has increased as we learn that many states in the country have experienced ground water contamination from a variety of point and nonpoint sources of pollution. In North Dakota, a large portion of the potable ground water resource underlies agricultural areas. Prior to the inception of the Ground Water Monitoring Program in 1992, only limited data was available to assess the impact of agricultural chemicals on the state's ground water quality. The goal of the Ground Water Monitoring Program is to provide an assessment of the quality of North Dakota's ground water resources with regard to agricultural chemical contamination. Several glacial drift aquifers have been monitored each year of the program since 1992. Approximately, the 50 most vulnerable aquifers are included in the program. This priority ranking was determined through application of the North Dakota Geographic Targeting System. The monitoring conducted in 1996 marked the completion of the first five-year round of monitoring high priority glacial drift aquifers in the state. The second five-year round of monitoring began in 1997, during which time the aquifers sampled five years earlier in 1992 were resampled. Conducting the monitoring on five-year cycles, preferably using most of the same wells for sampling, will provide a temporal assessment of agricultural chemical occurrence in specific aquifers. Results of each year's monitoring are described in annual ground water monitoring reports. For additional information about the North Dakota Ambient Ground Water Monitoring Program or for specific ground water quality questions please contact one of the following individuals at the NDDH, Division of Water Quality:

It looks like Physalis longifolia, longleaf groundcherry to me. According to plants.usda.gov, it is classified as a noxious weed in California. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Physalis longifolia, longleaf groundcherry
Because of that classification, you should contact your county's Agricultural commission. Call them to ask if they prefer samples or digital images. |

The slopes of the future are looking a lot safer thanks to the Zero5 ski helmet. The Zero5 ski helmet is an innovative new helmet designed by Vinaccia Integral Design for the brand IDI.
The Zero5 ski helmet has an innovative design that lets heat escape without leaving sweat behind. On the safety side of things, the helmet has a pair of built-in anti-fog goggles and a build that is designed to spread and dissipate energy from impacts throughout the helmet.
Helmets are an often overlooked essentials on the slopes. Perhaps the best feature of the Zero5 ski helmet is that it looks badass. While it may sound ridiculous, I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that a lot of the hatred towards helmets comes from people thinking that they look "lame" or "square." A sharp-looking helmet that also has innovative safety features would go a long way in keeping skiers safe.

NFL Fights To Save TV Blackout Rule Despite $9 Billion Revenue
The NFL is a NON-Profit Organization (216 comments)
Why is the NFL permitted to operate as non-profit when it controls so much of the experience and generates so much revenue?
That alone should get this rule changed.
And as others have pointed out, tax payers build the stadiums for these teams, so we should be able to watch them.
BTW - I am not a sports fan. I watch the super bowl only, and even then, I channel surf.

Looks like we could use some wild speculation around these parts.
A friend of mine was part of Everfree's security staff and got to be Lee Tockar's personal escort for most of the weekend. He dropped a little something in my lap that is both interesting and not particularly informative. Check it out.
I am in possession of potential season three (or beyond) spoilers, straight from the Magnet's mouth. Lee Tockar prefaced the information by saying "these are spoilers, so you can't tell anyone."
Of course, I suppose he could be trolling.
[. . .]
I can't go into detail about the spoilers because he has a Nondisclosure Agreement.
Just think about the characters he voices and let your imagination take you away.
In case you don't know, Tockar did the voices of these guys, as well as some other minor/background characters now and then:
What do you suppose he could be talking about? Will we see more Steve? Will Snips be getting some kind of episode to himself? It wouldn't be much of a spoiler to say Snips will be appearing again as a minor character. Perhaps the diamond dogs will show up again. What do you think?

On the slopes of Turrialba Volcano lies Costa Rica's most significant and only true archaeological site. Records mentioning the ruins go back to the mid-1800s, but systematic investigations didn't begin until 1968, when a local landowner out walking her dogs discovered what she thought was a tomb. Archaeologists began excavating the site and unearthed the base wall of a chief's house in what eventually turned out to be the ruins of a large community (around 10,000 inhabitants)
covering 49 acres, 10 of which have been excavated. The city was abandoned in AD 1400, probably because of disease or war. Guided tours (about two hours) in Spanish or English make the stones come alive, with knowledgeable guides from the U-Suré Guide Association (the name is the indigenous word for house). Starting from the round, thatch-roof reception center, they'll take you through the rain forest to a mirador (lookout) from which you can see the layout of the excavated circular buildings. Only the raised foundations survive, since the conical houses themselves were built of wood. As you descend into the ruins, notice the well-engineered surface and covered aqueducts leading to a trough of drinking water, which still functions today. Next you'll pass the end of an impressive 8-km (5-mile) paved walkway used to transport the massive building stones; the abstract patterns carved on the stones continue to baffle archaeologists, but some clearly depict jaguars, which were revered as deities. Excavations in 2013 have begun to unearth an elaborate system of agricultural terraces. Guayabo has been recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as a feat of Latin American civil engineering second only to Machu Picchu. The hillside jungle is captivating, and the trip is further enhanced by bird-watching possibilities: 200 species have been recorded. Facilities at Guayabo are still minimal: there's a souvenir hut opposite the entrance, a pleasant picnic area, and modern restrooms in a replica of a thatched indigenous hut. The access route from the east via the Santa Teresita (Lajas) has some rough spots, but you can make it in any car. The alternative Santa Cruz route is a little rougher, but you can still make it in a regular car, unless the road is wet—in which case you may need a 4WD vehicle to get here.

In modern Hollywood it seems that just when we begin to recognize a an aspiring actor or actress from their headshot not long after comes a mugshot, like the pseudo-celeb life portrayed in the Flare Magazine 'Fame Game' spread.
Model Natalia Chabanenko was photographed by lens-lover Max Abadian in a multitude of typical celebrity scenarios, from a screen shot of a mock YouTube video, to a glamorized faux magazine cover dubbed 'Bfamous.' The pictorial ends with a somber shot of Chabanenko holding up a booking placard followed by a suddenly supercharged side of the model flipping the bird to the law.
The idea of the rocky road of a celebutante being showcased for a in the Flare Magazine 'Fame Game' editorial may have been done before but somehow always makes for clever captures.

Sorry! 7 Ways Kanye West Can Get Taylor Swift To Forgive Him
Send her a card.
To be honest, Taylor Swift seems like the type of person who'd probably forgive you in a second, 'Ye—assuming you actually, you know...apologized to her. Rather than air yourself out on Twitter or apologize through The Jay Leno Show, try putting your pen to paper and apologizing to Taylor personally. It won't get all the press and publicity you're probably looking for, but it will get you back on good terms with one of the biggest pop stars in the country (just check the number of Twitter followers the girl has!). And at the end of the day, isn't that all you're really looking for?
What do you think Kanye West should do to apologize to Taylor Swift? Do you think he should apologize at all? Would you forgive him if you were Taylor Swift? Leave us a comment in the box below and let us know.

Dublin Hotels - The old and new jostle for attention in Ireland's capital, with grand Georgian architecture and striking steel monuments standing side by side in the compact city center. There are lush, green parks dotted between modern shopping centers, and ancient attractions at almost every turn. There's plenty of craic to be had from the city's exciting nightlife too, and you can sip on a pint of the black stuff and enjoy banter with the ever-so welcoming locals or throw shapes on a dance floor until the early hours.
Things to see
The oldest college in Dublin, Trinity College is an expansive complex of buildings which occupies over 40 acres in the city. The looming bell tower dominates the main central square, while the West Front's pedimented porch is an iconic site. It's here you can see one of Ireland greatest gems, the Book of Kells, as well as follow in the footsteps of the college's famous alumni, including Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett, as you tour the bustling campus grounds. Standing tall and proud on its Viking foundations, Dublin Castle is the beating heart of the historic district and its stone-built round tower date back to the 13th Century. Now the residence of the Irish Government, tours of the expansive grounds are a must for history buffs. A trip to family-friendly St Stephen's Green is a must on a nice day – as you enter through the Romanesque Fusiliers' Arch, you'll be meet by perfectly preened hecters of lush parkland. For buzzing nightlife, Temple Bar's cobbled streets are bursting at the seams with pubs and clubs.
Hotels in Dublin
For a small city, Dublin's managed to cram in plenty of places to stay. If you want to surround yourself in opulence, there are a handful of luxury, five-star Dublin hotels offering butler-like service, sumptuous afternoon teas and beds so comfy you'll feel like you're floating. A wealth of mid-range options can be found in every corner of the city offering convenient amenities like satellite television and WiFi as well as boutique residents ideal for romantic breaks. Budget-friendly hotels are plentiful too.
Where to stay
A stay in the city center is very convenient, and you'll find many of Dublin's top attractions within ambling distance of your central hotel. On the north side of the River Liffey, O'Connell Street's shops beckon while the South bank is home to the likes of St. Stephen's Green, Grafton Street, Trinity College, and Christ Church. Leafy Ballsbridge – Sandymount is another popular base, and you'll find hotels dotted along the Grand Canal offering water views. This area's good for families too, with Herbert Park just a short stroll from many on the area's hotels. Dublin City West is packed with must-see sites such as the Guinness Storehouse, St James's Gate Brewery, Old Jameson Distillery and the gothic St Patrick's Cathedral and a very convenient place to make your own during stay.
How to get to
Dublin Airport is a popular arrival point for international travelers, and there are bus services from here to the city center throughout the day. Depending on traffic, the trip can take anywhere between 25 minutes and an hour. Dun Laoghaire Harbor sees ferry services arrive from Wales and England, and is located 6 miles south of the city center. Dublin has two main railway stations, with Heuston connecting the city with the west and south on the country and Connolly serving in the southeast and east coast as well as the likes of Belfast in Northern Ireland.

Nice poem,lilo. Even if I did not have a calendar to tell me what month it is, I'd know by watching nature. The weather and the trees are changing, my veggi garden is going to seed. |
Thank you Sis beautiful in it's simplicity. Now let us figure out how to get those crisp fall temps working, 96 here today and supposed to hit 100 this weekend. |

We call it Indian Summer, it comes right when the kids go back to school. They swelter ib the late heat wave. |
- Posted by lilosophie none (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 21:47
Usually we do get summer's last shot around this time. It's chilly in the morning,sometimes even light frost and then - look out! it gets hot. I used to have my swamp cooler covered around this time and attributed the heat-wave to that fact, but now I have a window A/C and don't have to worry about that. WG: technically Indian Summer is the warm spell after the first rainy or frosty days - |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Thu, Sep 13, 12 at 19:14
I guess it depends on where in the world you live in what you call Indian Summer. See the history in the link below. Here in the valley, we know the heat wave is coming when we send our kids to school in the fall. Not scientific perhaps, but it happens. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Indian Summer

The day temps are still warm, but early in the morning is a chill in the air and even the blue sky looks different, at least to me. It's a September blue, not an August blue. Your description of September is right on. Thanks. |
Lilo---our Shenandoah Valley Indian Summer is like yours and we enjoy EVERY MINUTE of it while it lasts! |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Fri, Sep 14, 12 at 20:09
KJ, I've been to Shenandoah Valley in the fall, and it is breathtakingly beautiful. Sometimes the air seems to stand still and other times there is a slight rustle, sometimes it is hot and humid and at other times it's a beautiful cool day, all within a few days. |
West, glad you enjoyed your visit here-----what parts of the Valley did you travel through?-----or did you stay up on Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway? Of your descriptions, out most common one is the clear, beautiful day with the westerly winds becoming more pronounced, with just a hint of sharpness at first. By the time the sharpness in cooler air is much more pronounced, the west winds are blowing the tops of the mtns. off and sliding down into the Valley!!! When I lived on the mtn., we were always at least 2 weeks behind in Spring and 2-3 weeks ahead in Fall! Loved it! |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Sun, Sep 16, 12 at 20:00
KJ, it was some 50+ years ago that we lived in VA and went on many trips through VA and WV. I don't remember many of the specific names of the places we went,, but we did see some caves, waterfalls and natural bridges. One of our favorite trips was to go into the valley, park the car, walk a short distance on the trail, sit on some rocks and listen to the trees. It seemed to be no wind on the lover level, but the sound was incredible. When we drove to a higher altitude we could see the canopy of the trees moving with the wind. |

" Brand: Hagen / Animals Equipment Type: Dog Carriers "
I got my second oldest dog Pip nearly five years ago now. She's a chocolate labrador and we picked her from the litter when she was 5 weeks old and obviously had to wait until she was older until we could actually bring her home, which gave us plenty of time to prepare and get everything ready. My first dog was an 'inheritment' and we got him when he was 1 so getting a puppy was really exciting. My mum read a book on puppies and dogs etc to get an idea of what we would need/what to expect, and she insisted that we get a dog cage (also known as 'crates') to help the puppy feel secure and to also contain the puppy when we were out/at night time etc and for the puppy to have its own space. I know that a cage sounds quite cruel, but they really aren't when used properly. A dog cage gives a dog somewhere to go when they want their own space, and they feel secure and safe in their own little 'den'. Some dogs won't like cages and some will. I have four dogs and all of them have used this crate. Talia liked it and then grew out of it, Clyro didn't like it at all and refused point black to even step inside it, Harvey wonders in there when he fancies it and Pip goes in it once in a while when she wants to be left alone.
Purchasing the right dog cage is important. You will obviously need to make sure that it's large enough for your dog and also you will need to ensure it's good quality and will be able to withstand your dog moving inside it. If you have a small dog that won't grow much then it's pointless buying a large but don't buy an extra small and then realise that your dog will need a medium when it grows lol - think things through and check measurements. Me and my mum set out in search for a dog cage about 3 weeks before we got Pip. We were shocked at how much they were in the pet retail shops such as pets at home etc and decided to pop into the 'discount' type factories that were scattered around where we used to live (eg B&M and so on). We ended up purchasing this dog cage from a shop called Tickertee Boo for £40, which was the cheapest we'd come across and we snapped it up.
The RRP for these cages varies depending on where you buy it from and which size you get. We chose the extra large as we knew my dog would grow up to be quite chunky and we wanted it to be a long term item rather than just for use while she was a puppy. The RRP for the extra large is around £87 and it can be purchased for £10-£20 less on a range of discount pet supplies websites. Other sizes available are small, medium and large so there's a size to suit every breed. The cage came flat packed and weighed an absolute ton, setting it up was easy from what I remember, you just connect the various hooks and so on to build it up, it didn't take too long at all and the cage looked impressive once it was finished and it didn't stand out from our decor. We had the cage in the conservatory but it really doesn't matter where you place it in your home.
The cage comes in either silver or black and we chose black as we were concerned that the silver may rust, however the black did wear and rust after about a year which wasn't too bad and we simply went over the rusty patches with some black paint. The tray that goes in the bottom of the cage got very dirty and mud stained but it was easily covered up with a foam mattress that was provided, although as Pip grew older she ended up chewing the mattress up and it wasn't very durable. Getting the tray out of the cage is simple. You simply unhinge the bottom of the cage and pull it off then remove the tray. The tray is easy to clean with a damp sponge but it did get scratched easily. It's not an option to chuck the tray away if it gets stained badly though as underneath it's metal wireing which would be uncomfortable for a dog even with a blanket over the top.
There are two doors to the cage which were able to be locked by pulling a hinge. We always left the doors open so the dogs were free to come and go when they fancied. All of my dogs were able to fit through the doors with no effort. The doors became creeky after a while and they also were hard to keep open as they were so lightweight they would close half way but the dogs were able to push them open so this was not an issue. We've had this cage for almost five years and although it looks slightly worn it's still in one piece and the dogs still get occasional use out of it. We currently have it in the spare bedroom however as it has a handle on top it's easy to carry and put into the car to put one of the dogs in when we take them to the vets. The cage is sturdy and doesn't slide around in the car and fits into the back of my boyfriends landrover with ease, although even a medium would be too big to fit into a small car boot.
Overall I would reccomend these cages. They're sturdy, durable and long lasting. The price is a bit of a disadvantage but due to how long they last it's well worth it.
When we first got Hamish our 9-month-old border collie the thought of caging a dog abhorred me. But after researching it fully on the Internet and speaking it over with other dog owners we decided that it was a good investment for the sake of the puppy and got out very first dog cage.
As you would expect the cage is a metal frame, and in our case the metal is covered in a black plastic coating with an aluminium base. Not the most comfortable sounding bed, however we lined it with dog blankets and a jumper of my partner's so that the dog would be used to our smell if he felt lonely in the night.
From the first instance we took Hamish home and let him loose in the kitchen he was straight over to the cage and investigating it before wandering inside and settling down for a sleep. So far so good, and dispelling the fears I had about him not liking the cage.
Over time as he's grown we've bought a larger cage for him which again the same as the puppy cage has been decked out with blankets and bedding to make it more comfortable.
Many people think cages are a form of animal cruelty, and I will hold my hand up to having been one of those people until I researched it and got a dog. The fact that our dog was straight into his told us that he liked it. And indeed dogs are known as "den animals", they like to be in a safe and secure place. Hamish knows that if there are probing fingers of little ones he can quickly head off to his cage or "bed" as we call it and he's safe.
Cages are excellent tools for training your dog; they soon learn that this is "their area" and that they can wander in and out of it as they please. Hamish is only ever locked in when we have to go out and at night when it's bedtime. He happily goes for a sleep after his afternoon walk in his cage, and in the evening when you can't find him in the house you will usually find him curled up snoring away in his bed.
One of the great features of these cages is that they come in a variety of sizes. There are cages to suit all dogs, from little Scotties and Spaniels up to Great Danes and Alsatians. If you are in any doubt there is information on a variety of websites to inform you of which cage is the best size for your breed of dog and if in doubt consult your vet. And believe me they do come in some huge sizes, ours is big enough to fit a grown man in, my partner being smart one day decided to climb in and see if he'd fit in.
Putting the cage together is relatively simple, lift the top of the cage and pull out the sides, clipping them onto the top and securing it. The great thing is that there are 2 doors on the cage, one on the side and one on the end. The cage is also easy to fold down and flatten if you should need to transport it.
Whilst these can be expensive to purchase, it's worth having a look on eBay or in your local pet shop. We got ours from a shop on eBay costing under £100 which we were very pleased with. But I would happily pay double that for the simple fact that we have a border collie. When he gets bored he can be destructive and I would hate to think of the destruction he could cause whilst we were out of the house merely because he was bored. It's in his nature and cannot be helped.
In summary, I think these cages are a godsend. They make training a dog less stressful, especially "toilet" training because the dog is loath to soil their bed. Some dogs may put up some resistance to the cage in the first instance, but persevere with it. It's worth the money because you will have a happy, secure and safe dog. This cage is their den, a place of safety to them and also somewhere to safely keep your dog should you need to leave the dog at home without having your furniture destroyed.
**INTRODUCTION** This is something I feel I want to write on as I know people will get the wrong end of the stick about this type of product. I recently bought a boxer dog, and I wanted her to have a safe home where she could go when I needed to go out and also for night time sleeps. Now when I first saw the cages for dogs I was like that is cruel until someone explained why they used it, then it didn?t seem so bad, so then I purchased one. **WHAT IS A HAGEN WIRE CAGE** The cage usually comes in a black metal frame although the frame is covered with black plastic, and a aluminum bottom, yes it does sound uncomfortable and no I would not sleep in there either. Which is why you make the cage your dogs little home, Missi as her bed in there and also all her toys and she is happy and content when I leave her there when needing to go out. This product is for your dog to keep them safe. Also helps in the training of your dog. Missi (my dog) only uses the cage when I need to go out which is not often, and also to sleep in at night. This product gets so many negative thoughts and reactions from people because they see it as cruel keeping your pet locked up. But yes it is cruel if you?re keeping your pet inside there all the time. Missi gives me no excuses to change the state she sleeps in; she does not go frantic when I put her in there because to tell the truth she is not in there long enough. Also this product would not have been made if it was so cruel otherwise it would have been taken off the market straight away. Before I bought this cage I was always worried when I went out to leave Missi in the house when I went out because of her getting hurt somehow, or making a mess, or chewing things up. Same goes for night times also, her being in this cage prevents all this and makes me feel better that she is ok when I leave her in the house. The cage does come in different sizes for your dog, and also states on the
box of what breed of dog it is for and what height its for also. I made sure I got the biggest one there was for Missi so gives her plenty of room. I don?t regret one bit in buying this product as it is useful. You can also use this product in the car, also too keep your pet safe when your out on a journey also trains your pet. **EASE OF USE** The assembly of the cage is straight forward. It comes kinda already set up, you just have to lift the top up, and bring out the sides then it is up with the clips on the top to make sure it is secure. You have 2 doors for your dog to get in and out of, 1 is on the front of the cage and the other is on the side, so depending how you have your cage positioned in your room. The cage is easy to fold down when ever you need to. **AVAILABILITY & PRICE** You can pick these cages up from any pet store from around £30-£100 depending where you shop and also what size of cage your looking for. I bought mine of ebay.co.uk at £50 which is half price to what I would of paid buying new from pet shop. **LAST WORDS** The pet cages prove to be very useful, Keeps your pet safe and sound when you leave him/her. And proves to help training of your pet also. I know I will probably get negative thoughts and comments on this review please be assured these cages are there to protect your pet. What I do when I leave Missi to go out, is I put her into her cage I tell her I wont be long and that I will be back soon, I give her a few treats in her cage while I am gone, and she has all her toys in there and her bedding. This keeps your dog happy while your out. If you gone for a while then a good idea to put water in her bed too. Thank you for reading

I am doing my own site now.
I am kind of new and I need help. I am doing like a game site in PHP. I would like all the animal to age every week. I mean like if you adopted a 3 year old horse and I want it to be 4 years old at the end of the week. And then 5 and 6...
Can anyone tell me how do I do that?

Assuming you have access to a database of some description for this project, you could store the "birth date" of each animal in the database and then when someone comes on to play the game, the system first updates all of the ages of each animal before you can play.
Essentially this would just mean the system working out the number of days between the current date and the birth dates and then dividing this by 7 to find the number of weeks and then simply updating the age in the database.
Hope this gives you a starting point!

Mises Daily
What Is the Proper Way to Study Man?
[A review of Ludwig von Mises, Epistemological Problems of Economics; Essays in European Economic Thought, edited by Louise Sommer; and Richard von Mises, Probability, Statistics, and Truth.]
If the proper study of mankind is man, the question immediately arises: what is the proper way to study man? In recent generations, the enormous prestige gained by physics in advancing our knowledge of the material world has led to the uncritical transfer of the methods appropriate in the natural sciences to the study of actions of men. These three books illuminate different aspects of the important truth that the differences between the nature of human action and the behavior of unmotivated physical objects require different methodologies of scientific study.
Epistemological Problems of Economics
The science of economics has always had a separate methodology of its own; but, as in almost all successful sciences, it did not begin to examine and analyze its methodology until it had developed the bulk of its laws and principles. However, if a well-analyzed methodology is not established in time, a science is in danger of falling into gross error by wandering down plausible but invalid paths. In an age when many widely divergent and even contradictory paths of inquiry are open to economists, it is more important than ever that economic science develop a more critical awareness of its proper methodology. Ludwig von Mises's Grundprobleme der Nationalökonomie, published in 1933, was a monumental achievement in the study of economic methodology. While previous work by Senior, Cairnes, and Menger had vindicated the validity of economic theory, Mises's volume was the first to rid the methodology of economics of all traces of positivism and relativism. For the first time, Mises explained fully why the laws of human action (economics and, more widely, "praxeology") cannot be "tested" by reference to statistical or historical "data." In the behavior of physical objects, science begins by empirical observation of constant relations, and then frames tentative hypotheses of explanatory laws, these hypotheses being always subject to testing and revision by referring their deduced consequents to controlled experiments, where all but the relevant, isolated factors are held constant. This is the "scientific method" of physics. But in the study of human action, as Mises shows, the reverse is true; here, we begin by knowing the causal laws: by knowing the fact of human consciousness, of free will, of motivated, purposeful action of human beings in using given means for the attainment of desired ends. On the other hand, the facts of human history are not, as in physics, controllable and subject to testing; they are the complex and changing resultants of the interplay of human motives and actions, impinging on the natural environment and on each other. The laws of economic science, therefore, can only be constructed by starting with apodictically known axioms and deducing from them a body of necessarily true laws.
The best-known modern work on economic methodology in the English-speaking world has been Lionel Robbins's An Essay on the Nature and Significance of Economic Science, published at about the same time as Grundprobleme. But Mises's book is a far more profound and basic work in the same general tradition, and its present translation as Epistemological Problems of Economics therefore fills a vital gap by bringing us the outstanding work on the methodology of economics.
Essays in European Economic Thought
Essays in European Economic Thought brings to the American reader translations of seven important European economic essays of the past century. Perhaps the outstanding article in the collection is the brilliant critique of mathematical economics by Paul Painlevé, an eminent French mathematician who wrote the essay as the introduction to the French translation of W. Stanley Jevons's Theory of Political Economy in 1909. Jevons's work was one of the first, and one of the least harmful, of the increasingly frequent incursions into economics of the mathematical method; and yet, in his critique of Jevons, Painlevé already saw the dangers and fallacies. The Austrian, praxeological tradition has always recognized that mathematics, and quantitative methods generally, are appropriate to the physical sciences, where behavior is continuous and unmotivated; but that verbal logic, in contrast, is the appropriate method where one is studying the necessarily discrete, motivated, qualitative actions of men. In a field where mathematical economists are too often inclined to dismiss critics as ignorant of mathematics, the arguments of this distinguished mathematician carry particular weight.
Probability, Statistics, and Truth
Richard von Mises's great classic, Probability, Statistics, and Truth, effected a revolution in the nature of probability theory during the 1920s and 1930s. "Classical" probability theory considered numerical probability to be derived from "equal ignorance" about the potential events being considered: thus, the probability of obtaining a "three-spot" upon the throw of a die was considered to be "one-sixth" because there are six possibilities and we do not know if one possibility is stronger than another. Mises (the brother of Ludwig von Mises), demonstrated the contradictions of this approach, insisting both that the probability is not one-sixth if the die happens to be loaded, and that the only way to find out if a die is loaded is by tossing it a large number of times. Thus was born the "frequency theory" of numerical probability, based on knowledge and not on ignorance. The frequency theory implies that to say the probability of a die showing "three" is "one-sixth" means that, if a die is thrown a great many times, the number of occasions on which "three" is obtained will approach one out of every six throws. But this means that numerical and mathematical probability theory cannot really apply to each single case, but only to the proportion of randomly-selected homogeneous events, as in tossing a coin or throwing a die. This fact is much more true of the unique, nonrandom events of ordinary human (and entrepreneurial) action. It becomes evident from Richard von Mises's fundamental work that mathematical probability theory can never be applicable to economics, or to any other study of human action.
At the present time, when mathematical probability theory is very heavily used in economics and sociology, the translation of the third German edition of Richard von Mises's work is particularly welcome. For Mises here refutes various modern criticisms of his theory and demolishes the attempts of such philosophers as Carnap and Reichenbach to establish a mathematical theory for individual cases, as contrasted to large homogeneous classes, of human actions.

World of Warcraft Suffers More Downtime
PA? WTF? (205 comments)
God damn, I'm so sick of seeing Penny Arcade links in Slashdot stories. Yes, I am a huge fan of Penny Arcade. I've got pretty much all their strips since two years ago saved on my hard drive, I even used to subscribe for their monthly get-interesting-stuff thing. But come on, they write a fucking webcomic . Cool as they are, and as incredible as their webcomic is, this does not make their comments about anything some kind of news-worthy announcement. People who already care about what Gabe and Tycho have to say will have already read it. People who don't aren't likely to be swayed just because they pulled a game from their fictional awards "show." Gah, and now I'm posting meta-comments on Slashdot. LAME.

Xbox One with Kinect
Get Xbox One without Kinect
It sure didn't take long for Microsoft to abandon the next generation of its must-have peripheral for Xbox One, the Kinect. It might end up being the smartest move the company has made in years. Starting Monday, Microsoft will offer a dis-Kinected Xbox One for $399 — $100 less than the original bundle and in line with the price of a 500-gigabyte PlayStation 4. The move isn't all that surprising — it gives Microsoft flexibility in future bundles. What is surprising is that the company has done it so soon after the console's launch last fall. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that the PS4 has helped bring in $9.5 billion for Sony in the past fiscal year. Sony expects to sell about 17 million PS3s and PS4s by March 2015. The fourth generation of PlayStation has outsold the Xbox One four months in a row.

I have had no problems with him chewing on anything but of course I have bought him teething toys to have and seems to enjoy playing with them along with his tug ropes and tennis balls. He very much wants to be in your lap after he is done playing. At night he likes to get under the covers and snuggle up against you. He is just a 100% pure joy to watch as he learns new things and is beginning to grow. He likes to help you type on the computer so if there are some weird things added in here he is right here helping me right now. Domino is very comfortable around big dogs or small dogs. He plays with my larger min pins and he is fearless. It is really hard for me to put into words just how much it is to have him around and how he reacts to things and sounds. He is just a WHOLE LOT OF FUN !!!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Domino, a Nashville Miniature Pinscher puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Miniature Pinscher for sale in Nashville, or seeking a Miniature Pinscher puppy from a breeder in Nashville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Nashville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Nashville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Miniature Pinscher breeders who help with Miniature Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Nashville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Atlantic Towers buys Minnesota accessory manufacturer
Posted onAtlantic Towers said it acquired St. Croix Marine Products, a Minnesota-based maker of stainless-steel davits for powerboats and sailboats, swim platform systems, removable cranes and associated hardware and mounting accessories.
"We've been a great admirer of the St. Croix products for many years and had approached St. Croix well over a year ago. The St. Croix brand is extremely strong and has always represented innovative marine products," Atlantic Towers president Steve Tull said in a statement. "As we got to know St. Croix better, we found there were many, many similarities between our companies, from basic business philosophy to manufacturing methods to customers. We're looking forward to adding and expanding the St. Croix line of premium stainless-steel structures to our own Atlantic Towers lineup of aluminum products. It's a great fit."
"It was important to me that any sale would maintain the high standards St. Croix has maintained since I began the company in 1989," St. Croix founder Bill Blackmore said. "Steve will be using the same vendors and suppliers I've developed over the years, and we share identical manufacturing philosophies and methods. I'm looking forward to assisting with the transition and particularly to seeing my former customers during the fall and winter boat shows."
New Jersey-based Atlantic Towers was founded in 1980 as a custom tower builder for sportfishing boats. The company offers a range of recreational marine products for inflatable, powerboats and sailboats.
