Conferences: 2004
Measuring the Humanitarian Impact of War - November 8-9, 2004
This meeting explored the methodologies used by the military, NGOs, and the media to evaluate civilian harm in war – and the possibility of combining these independent efforts into an integrated collateral damage database. Discussions highlighted military approaches to estimate potential civilian casualties before and during combat operations in attempts to minimize civilian harm, and possible ways to include lessons about the causes of civilian harm in the formal military lessons learned process. In addition, participants explored public expectations regarding protecting civilians during war, and the challenges faced by the media and NGOs in their efforts to track and assess civilian harm during U.S. military operations.
Emerging Military Capabilities: Normative and Legal Challenges - April 13-14, 2004
This meeting, cosponsored by the McCormick Tribune Foundation, highlighted the challenges of assessing effects based operations (EBO) and non-kinetic or non-lethal technologies using traditional standards, guidelines, and laws regarding the use of force. After reviewing EBO concepts and supporting capabilities, participants debated their potential to allow the more "humane" use of force. Participants disagreed about both the legality and effectiveness of using more discriminate force against a broader range of targets,, including those with civilian purposes. After considering the status of non-lethal weapons development and use, many participants agreed on the benefits of developing non-lethal alternatives. Yet the discussion suggested potential divisions regarding the appropriate considerations for determining whether non-lethal capabilities should be developed or used. There was widespread consensus that greater military openness earlier in the non-lethal weapon development process would be desirable.
agenda | participant list | conference report
Working with Civilian Actors - April 5-6, 2004
This meeting was the second iteration of Carr Center collaboration with the Regional Studies Course from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. It formed part of a 10-day visit to Washington by the students qualifying to be Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations specialists to explore the actors and agencies involved in interagency planning and coordination. The panel presentations and discussions focused on the interagency process in planning military interventions (both in Washington and in the field) and on the role of information during such operations. Participants discussed the completing interests and equities of the various actors involved, including the State and Defense Departments, and NGOs.
Civilian Engagement at the National Training Center - January 27-28, 2004
In January 2004, the Carr Center hosted representatives from the National Training Center (NTC) and humanitarian relief organizations to explore how an increase in direct input from international organizations, governmental organizations, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) could be useful in planning and executing their training exercises. The discussions raised a variety of issues regarding tensions in civil-military relations that have arisen un recent conflicts, and how civilian input into formulating scenarios and training the role players and observer/controller exercise "referees" might help improve the realism of that aspect of NTC's simulated battlefield training.
NTC, the Army's largest maneuver combat training center, provides training and feedback in simulated battlefield conditions for thousands of soldiers every year. NTC's training approach reflects a relatively recent shift from an exclusive focus on warfighting to addressing the complexities facing the military in recent stability and support operations in the post-major combat operation phase of operations. The training exercises strive to replicate the conditions troops will face in country as accurately as possible. "Civilians on the battlefield" (role players) populate several simulated villages in efforts to replicate the diversity of actors that troops are likely to encounter during operation.

I am having some trouble with Speer ammunition.
I am using a S&W scandium J-Frame, Model 342PD. It is chambered in .38 Special.
I have fired hundreds of the Speer 125 grain GDHP in 38 Special+P through it, with no problem. (ammo boxes say 23720 H18G4 on them).
Today I tried the Speer 135 grain GDHP 38 Special +P loads through the gun (23921 on box). The gun would lock up every 1-3 shots, and I'd have to wack the cylinder open with my hand. It seems as if a small amount of silver-colored material is shaving off from the bullet, and getting wedged in the area between the top of the barrel and the topstrap. When this material is removed, the gun functions fine again.
The gun continues to function with the 125 grain loads just fine.
Any idea what the problem might be?

About Political Science
Political Science is important to society because an educated citizenry is the best safeguard for democracy. Political Science is valuable for individuals who want to know more about the values, laws, institutions and policy mechanisms that govern their lives in society, and as well, the differences between their system of government and those in other countries.
Political Science is an especially useful preparation for students who wish to pursue careers in teaching, law, public service or business. There are many minor program opportunities to further these study areas.
Faculty & Research
There is exciting research happening everyday through the assistance of many grants; through many workshops and conferences we are able to demonstrate the knowledge gained as well as gather further insights.
The Political Science Department is also home for the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies which is involved in international projects such as The Romeo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative and Maritime Security in the 21st Century.

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns were 3½ minutes away from what would have been a brutal loss. Then, as has happened so often, the 3-pointers started falling.
Amare Stoudemire had 35 points and 13 rebounds and the Suns made four 3s in a row to pull away for a 116-106 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.
Against the Suns, Rockets coach Rick Adelman said, "You're rolling the dice."
2010 NBA Playoffs
The 2010 NBA playoff picture is taking shape. Check out the up-to-the-minute matchups here:
Playoff pairings
"If you try to take away the 3s, then you've got Stoudemire rolling down the middle and we don't have anybody to stop him," he said. "And they didn't make them until the last 3 minutes."
Channing Frye made two of the 3s and Steve Nash and Jason Richardson had one apiece in a 14-0 run after the Rockets took a 102-100 lead with 3:23 left.
"They had a hard time on the screen and roll," Stoudemire said. "When I rolled to the basket, they were sucking in and Steve was doing a great job of finding open guys."
The victory moved Phoenix into a tie with Utah and Denver for the third playoff spot in the West, a half-game behind No. 2 Dallas, with two to play. The Suns' final two games are at home against Denver on Tuesday and at Utah on Wednesday.
Nash had 23 points and 11 assists for the Suns, winners of 12 of their last 14.
Luis Scola scored 20 of his 30 points in the second half for the Rockets, who rallied from a 14-point third-quarter deficit. Aaron Brooks added 22 points, including 6 of 9 3-pointers, and Chase Budinger had 19 for Houston.
"You can just look at the West and see -- that team is a quality team and they're not going to make the playoffs," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said about the Rockets. "They're a real quality team. They're hard to play. Every game we've played them this year it's been like a roller coaster."
And the Suns won all four.
Nash limped off after taking a shot to the leg with 23 seconds to go, drawing a technical foul as he left the court. He said he was not hurt.
"It's not even worth talking about," he said.
The Rockets led 102-100 after Scola's two free throws. Scola drew a foul for bumping Nash during Phoenix's trademark pick-and-roll play on the next possession. The Suns took the ball out of bounds, Scola backed off a bit, and Nash made the 3, his third in three tries, to put Phoenix ahead for good.
Frye followed with a 3-pointer, Richardson got one, then Frye another and it was over.
"They're a smart team," the Rockets' Trevor Ariza said. "They know what to do and they know when to do it."
The Suns led 62-57 at the break and 81-67 after Jarron Collins' inside basket with 4:56 to play in the third quarter. Scola, though, scored eight in a 13-1 surge to cut the lead to 82-80 with 1:18 to go in the quarter. Frye made his first shot of the night and Nash sank a 3-pointer to boost the lead to 87-80. But Scola responded with a driving bank shot, Budinger intercepted Nash's cross-court pass and made a 3-pointer and it was 87-85 entering the fourth.
Jordan Hill scored to start the final period to tie it at 87-87. Brooks' fifth 3-pointer, the first one he had tried since the opening quarter, put Houston ahead 92-91 with 8:44 to go. the Rockets' first lead since midway through the second quarter.
There were three ties and four lead changes after that before the Suns went ahead for good.
Stoudemire set the tone for the late surge when he made a leaping save of a ball headed out of bounds, then got the ball back for a dunk to tie it at 100-100.
"Amare had a monster game," Gentry said, "but it's nothing he hasn't been doing the last two months really."
Brooks made his first four 3-pointers in the first quarter. While he was 6 of 9 on 3s but only 1 of 9 on 2-pointers.
Game notes
Houston had won three in a row and four of five. ... The game featured three former University of Arizona standouts -- Frye for the Suns, rookies Budinger and Hill for the Rockets. A fourth, Suns general manager Steve Kerr, watched from the stands. ... Injured Suns C Robin Lopez (bulging disk) is to be re-evaluated by a specialist on Monday. ... Phoenix won its seventh straight home game. ... Houston's Kevin Martin played only 6 minutes in the third quarter and none in the fourth because of illness, Adelman said.

Options Theme: More
By most counts, 2004 was a banner year for the option industry. There was more volume, more competition, more access and more acceptance of options by the mainstream as a valuable instrument for investing. The net result is that investors now enjoy access to the most open and cost-efficient options markets ever. Yay options!
According to the Options Clearing Corp., option volume crossed 1 billion contracts in November, marking the first time trading has surpassed that milestone in one calendar year. The final tally for 2004 should come in around 1.2 billion contracts, a 31% increase from 2003. Average daily volume has been 4.6 million contracts, a similar percentage increase from 2003's average daily volume of 3.6 million contracts.
Juiced by Electricity
Many factors are responsible for the incredible volume growth, but probably the most important one has been the expansion of electronic trading. It has reduced the cost and increased the accessibility of option trading: Commission fees have declined dramatically, with many online brokers now offering rates around $15 per trade, which is comparable to equity transactions.
Just a few years ago, even as several thousand shares of stock could be traded for $10 or less at many well-known brokerage firms, the commission fees on options were still hovering at $50 or more. Paying $100 per round trip to trade an item with a notional value that can be as low as $20 is very unappealing for small-lot traders. It certainly would start the position in a deep hole.
Electronic trading platforms, the related linkage between exchanges and smart order routing, have resulted in tighter bid/ask spreads and better fills, which effectively lowers execution costs. This is not to say you can't still encounter a market that "moves away" as soon as you enter an order, or other frustrations associated with trading in an illiquid market. But on the whole, markets are more transparent, quotes are honored and orders are better represented than they have been in the past.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington
Johanna Mary (Hanna) Sheehy-Skeffington, (née Johanna Mary Sheehy) (24 May 1877 – 20 April 1946) was a suffragette and Irish nationalist. Along with her husband and Margaret Cousins and James Cousins she founded the Irish Women's Franchise League in 1908 with the aim of obtaining women's voting rights.[1] She was later a founding member of the Irish Women Workers' Union.
Hanna Sheehy was born in Kanturk, County Cork, Ireland, the eldest daughter of Elizabeth McCoy and David Sheehy, an ex-Fenian and Irish Parliamentary Party Westminster MP. One of her uncles, Father Eugene Sheehy (known as the "Land League priest", whose activities landed him in prison) educated Éamon de Valera in Limerick. Her sister Mary married the writer and politician Thomas Kettle. Another sister, Kathleen married Frank O'Brien, and was the mother of Conor Cruise O'Brien.[2]
David Sheehy was MP for South Galway and the family moved to Drumcondra, Dublin in 1887.[2]
Sheehy was educated at Dominican Convent, Eccles Street where she was a prize-winning pupil. She then enrolled at St Mary's University College, a third level college for women established by the Dominicans in 1893, to study modern languages (in her case, French and German). Women were not allowed to attend lectures at either University College Dublin or the University of Dublin. She sat her examinations at Royal University of Ireland (later University College, Dublin) where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1899 and a Master of Arts Degree, with first-class honours in 1902. This led to a career as a teacher in Eccles Street and an examiner in the Intermediate Certificate examination.[3]
Sheehy married Francis Skeffington in 1903, and they both took the surname Sheehy-Skeffington. In 1908, she founded the Irish Women's Franchise League, a group aiming for women's voting rights. She lost her teaching job in 1913 when she was arrested and put in prison for three months after throwing stones at Dublin Castle. She was visited in jail by Anna Haslam, founder of the Dublin Women's Suffrage Association. Whilst in jail she started a hunger strike but was released under the Prisoner's Temporary Discharge of Ill Health Act and was soon rearrested. However, being free from her teaching job enabled her to devote more time to women's suffrage activities. She was influenced by James Connolly and during the 1913 lock-out worked with other suffragists in Liberty Hall, providing food for the families of the strikers.[4]
She strongly opposed participation in the First World War that broke out in August 1914, and was prevented by the British government from attending the international women's peace conference in The Hague in April 1915. The following June her husband was imprisoned for anti-recruiting activities.[5] He was later shot dead during the 1916 Easter Rising on the orders of a British army officer, Captain J C Bowen-Colthurst. He had had no involvement in the Rising and had in fact been arrested while trying to prevent looting in Dublin's city centre. Bowen-Colthurst, following court martial in June 1916, was sent temporarily to a Canadian hospital after being adjudged insane, but he was released with a pension to settle in Canada.[1]
Sheehy refused any kind of compensation for her husband's death, and soon afterwards she travelled to the United States to publicise the political situation in Ireland. In October 1917 she was the sole Irish representative to League for Small and Subject Nationalities where, along with several other contributors, she was accused of pro-German sympathies.[6] She published British Militarism as I Have Known It, which was banned in the United Kingdom until after the First World War. Upon her return to Britain she was once again imprisoned, this time in Holloway prison. After being released Sheehy attended the 1918 Irish Race Convention in New York City and later supported the anti-Treaty IRA during the Irish Civil War.
During the 1930s she was assistant editor of An Phoblacht, a Sinn Féin newspaper. In January 1933 she was arrested in Newry for breaching an exclusion order banning her from Northern Ireland. At her trial she was defiant stating "I recognize no partition. I recognize it as no crime to be in my own country. I would be ashamed of my own name and my murdered husband's name if I did . . . Long live the Republic!", and was sentenced to one month's imprisonment.[7] Sheehy was also a founding member of the Irish Women's Workers' Union as well as an author whose works deeply opposed British imperialism in Ireland. Her son, Owen Sheehy-Skeffington became a politician and Irish Senator.
She died, aged 68, in Dublin and is buried there in Glasnevin Cemetery.

Short review: It's jiggling jugs done in a fine manner. All of the girls are sweet, they almost leave me wanting to use the word precious to describe them, and in choosing one more adjective, it would be delicious. They have big boobs that are pledged, and they utilize them to their fullest through softcore and hardcore presentations. They have kept all entities presenting themselves as a winner!
Content Amount: I'm impressed and downright proud of the amount of material I found, especially in knowing it's not even a year old yet, with about 3 months to go for that anniversary they are pumping out the updates quickly. With bonuses as well, it's bountiful.
Content Quality: They did a nice job of presenting this site to the world, not only in their display and navigation, but the quality in which their content will come through your monitor, very well done in the video section and image galleries as well, it's all good.

Want to express your joy of brain chemistry? Specifically, serotonin, that wonderful neurotransmitter that has been implicated in so many good and bad feelings. Too much of it, and you'll get serotonin syndrome. Too little of it, and maybe you'll end up like a hibernating slug in winter.
In either case, we like to celebrate serotonin whenever and wherever we can, and now we found a way to do so publicly, every single day of our lives!

Ur little sister
There are several proofs of this. The main confusion comes from the idea that the difference between 0.99... and 1 is infinitisimal, and a poor understanding of what exactly that means. It's a tougher question than it appears to be, and I remember in my first bachelor year (I study astrophysics. Our first year is largely shared with mathematics students), there was some discussion about it. Anyway, a key property of real numbers is that if you take 2 different real numbers (say a and b, with a =/= b), there always exists at least 1 real number that is in between them. I believe this is called the density property. It also applies to rational numbers. This property disproves the existance of any real number that would be "the largest number that is smaller than 1". So we're left with this: either 0.99... isn't a real number, or it is, in which case it can't be "the number closest to 1". Now we know that 0.33... is a real number, it's how we choose to write 1/3. So assuming that that notation is consistent, then 0.99... is a real number, and it's just how we choose to write 1/1. In other words, numbers don't have 1 unique way to be written.
The Council
Ok try this out. 3/3 = 1 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 right? 1/3 = .333333 repeating .33333 repeating X 3 = .999999 repeating Since 3/3 = 1 and 1/3 X 3 = .999999 repeating and 3/3 = 1 .9999999 repeating = 1
Lénekton Bot
1/9 = 0.111... 9* 1/9 = 9 * 0.111... 1 = 0.999...
Imogen Poots
No matter how many 9s you add after a decimal, it will always be LESS THAN 1. However, if you use the limit theory and there is an asymptotic function that goes nearer and nearer to 1 but never touches it, then you can say that as x = infinity, y would equal 1. Keep in mind, we say that for simplicity and in reality there would be no real value (infinity is NOT a real number) that could make said function to reach 1.
Thank god the yes side came out ahead again...

Howieson gets a Junior All Whites call up
Cameron Howieson has been selected for the New Zealand Under 20 squad (the Junior All Whites) and is one of three English based players in the squad for the 2013 Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) Championships.
The bi-annual tournament, won by New Zealand in 2011, will be held this year in Fiji between 21st and 29th March but Howieson will join up with the squad in Auckland nine days ahead of the tournament start.
Five countries will contest the tournament in a round robin format with New Zealand's free date coming on the last game day meaning their competition will end on 27th March. They will open up with a game against Papua New Guinea and at two day intervals will then face Vanuata, New Caledonia and finally the hosts Fiji.
Coach Chris Milicich has named a squad of 20 players and has said he envisages, because of how quickly the games are played, most of the squad playing two games.
Cameron is joined by goalkeeper Max Crocombe from Oxford and Derby defender Luke Adams. The remaining members of their squad all play their football for clubs in either New Zealand or Australia.
The tournament winners will go forward to the FIFA Under-20 World Cup which will this year be played in Turkey during June and July.

Sunday, July 26
Coors Field
Attendance: None
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Aaron Cook turned in seven strong innings as Colorado doubled up San Francisco, 4-2, in the finale of a three-game set from Coors Field.
Cook (10-3) recorded his seventh consecutive winning decision by allowing nine hits and two runs. The right-hander has not lost since June 1 at Houston, a span of 10 starts. Huston Street recorded the final three outs for his 25th save.
Yorvit Torrealba notched two hits and drove in a run for the Rockies, who have won seven of their last 10 games. Brad Hawpe, Troy Tulowitzki and Ian Stewart also drove in a run apiece for the victors.
"They're all important, every game, especially coming down to the final two months of the playoff race," said Rockies outfielder Seth Smith about the race within the NL West for a playoff berth. "This isn't more important than any other, but it's a big win all the same."
John Bowker and Edgar Renteria knocked in a run each for the Giants, who dropped the final two games of the series and have lost five of seven.
Ryan Sadowski (2-3) lasted only 2 2/3 innings, charged with five hits and three runs with three walks in the loss.
The Rockies picked up two runs in the third to go ahead 3-1, on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Tulowitzki and Stewart's RBI single, and chased Sadowski from the game in the process.
San Francisco's bullpen held the home club at bay long enough for Renteria's sixth-inning single to bring home Fred Lewis for a 3-2 game.
However, Colorado got the run right back in the home half as Carlos Gonzalez led off with a triple and Torrealba plated him with a sac fly.
Franklin Morales turned in a scoreless eighth and Street locked up the victory by sending the Giants down in order in the ninth.
"We're disappointed with this road trip," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy about his club's 3-7 record. "It's a tough way to start the second half. We're gonna have to pick it up here, no gettin' around it."
Colorado got on the board in the first as Smith singled, stole second and scored on Hawpe's two-out base hit.
Travis Ishikawa singled to start the second, Renteria doubled, then Bowker's groundout tied the game.

Using Old Photos to Tear the Fabric of Space-Time Itself
Photojojo science update: we have learned of a way to tear holes in the space-time continuum and stare back into the mists of time.*
Being the existential daredevils that we are, we're risking reality as we know it to share this discovery with all of you. Proceed with caution.
Step 1:
Find a very old photo of a street or landmark near where you live. (Try your local historical society or check the public library — many of them keep collections of historic photos).
Step 2:
Go to the exact place where the photo was taken.
Step 3:
Hold up the picture and match the view of bygone days to the ultra-futuristic scene in front of you.
Be warned: though you may peer into the window in the space-time continuum, do not fall through. The other side of the window is a nightmarish half-life of Morlocks, flux capacitors and Michael J. Fox.
Using Old Photos as a DIY Time Machine
*Yeah, we know that the last four times we tore holes in the space-time continuum we ended up destroying the known universe. We swear that won't happen again this time. Probably.
p.s. Hey everybody, sorry about the broken link in Monday's newsletter. Boy, are our faces red.

In this book Shorto brilliantly shows how this argument first started with Descartes and how his ideas (and bones) have remained central to this theoretical struggle for over 350 years.
On a brutal winter's day in 1650 in Stockholm, Frenchman Rene Descartes, the most influential and controversial thinker of his time, was buried after a cold and lonely deathfar from home. Sixteen years later, the pious French Ambassador Hugues de Terlon secretly unearthed Descartes' bones and transported them to France. Why would this devoutly Catholic official care so much about the remains of a philosopher who washounded from country after country on charges of atheism? Why would Descartes' bones take such a strange, serpentine path over the next 350 years - a path intersecting some of the grandest events imaginable: the birth of science, the rise of democracy, the mind-body problem, the conflict between faith and reason?
The answer lies in Descartes' famous phrase: cogito ergo sum. "I think therefore I am." This quote from his work Discourse on the Method, destroyed 2,000 years of received wisdom by introducing an attitude of human skepticism towards ideas of medicine,nature, politics and society. The notion that one could look to provable facts, and not rely on the Church's teachings and tradition, was one of the most influential ideas in human history, ultimately creating the scientific method and overthrowing religion asprevailing truth.
Descartes' Bones is a fascinating narrative - both macro and micro history in one - that twists and turns up to the present day.
©2008 Russell Shorto; (P)2008 Recorded Books, LLC
"Philosophy of Modernity"
This is an engaging account of history and science, but at heart it's a work of philosophy. Shorto calls Descartes the "father of modernity". He starts by asking the question what it means to be modern, and spends most of the book developing his answer. The title "father of modernity" is for pioneering the separation of science from religion--in establishing experience and observations as valid bases for making conclusions about reality, separate and apart from wisdom received from either the Bible or the Scholastics.
Yet Descartes was very religious, and he tried to create a separate sphere for it in the mind/body dualism. Shorto characterizes much of Western history since Descartes as various attempts to find balance between the secular and spiritual worlds both individually and socially.
Despite the West's more than 350 years' experience trying to find such a balance, we are still searching, and we still have extremists who believe no such balance is possible. Other cultures, particularly the Muslim world, have not had that experience--have not even begun the search. Shorto believes that the Muslim world's lack of such a search is at the root of much of the West's difficulty dealing with Islamic extremism.
At the individual level, Shorto reaches the same conclusion as did Descartes: that the connection between the secular and spiritual--how mind and body relate--what makes each of us unique--what might even be called the soul--is the heart, also known as passion and emotions.
Shorto does a good job posing questions and challenges and using Descartes' bones for historical illustrations. The answers are not fully developed, making the book more of a personal statement than a full-fledged argument, and challenging the reader or listener to develop his or her own answers.
"Descartes and his influence on modern society"
Prior to this book, Descartes was, to me, a great mathematician and theorist, I did not have any idea of the influence his thinking had on the development of world view and the scientific method. There was so much great information in this book that I listened to it twice. The narrator was great and the twists and turns of history were well explained. I am sure that the material could have easily covered several volumes.
For those interested in history and the history of science, this is a great book.
"Best Nonfiction Read of the Year"
I was so enthralled by Hecht's narration I had to buy the text. I both listened, and then read what I'd listened to, because I couldn't get enough. Undoubtedly the best nonfiction read I've had this year, bar none.
"Cogito, ergo sum"
Well, you don't have to be a philosopher to enjoy and gain from this book. Shorto provides a review of Descartes' work, places it in historical context, and follows the mystery of Descartes' bones over tha past three centuries.
One could suggest that the focus of the book as not really on the story of the philosopher's remains and that might be true. However, it is the common thread that holds other discussions together.
This book is well written, well read by Paul Hecht and well worth the listener's time. Those who never read philosophy or history will still benefit. It answers many questions we have about how the political world is working today.
"Science and History"
I enjoyed this book a lot. It is a nice balance between the non-scientific history of the era and the broad impact Descartes had on the development of science and our approach to understanding the world
"Fantastic insight into The Enlightenment"
Why the US revolution and the French Revolution were different, although part of a general movement toward democracy. Europeans were and still are more secular. It all started with Decartes.
"Very Thin"
I wish that Descartes' Bones had greater density of information. Shorto goes on at great length "reciting" dialog from primary sources. The players were interesting to be sure, however, the detail included interferes with the broader point. I feel this book was interesting, but could have been distilled to two hours -- thereby eschewing mind-numbing dialog and retaining a focus on the Faith vs. Reason theme that holds so much promise.
I feel this book was interesting, but could have been distilled to two hours -- thereby eschewing mind-numbing dialog and retaining a focus on the Faith vs. Reason theme that holds so much promise.
I would have limited his focus on detail to that which pushes forward the thesis of the book.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Microsoft Pursues Auction Pirates in Lawsuits
There have been 63 separate lawsuits launched by Microsoft against people peddling counterfeit software on auction sites.
Sellers have been targeted in 12 different countries including the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany and France.
The counterfeit "Blue Edition" versions of XP are the prominent target for Microsoft.
The operating system was proving popular on auction sites as it is reaching the end of its commercial sales cycle, according to Microsoft.
Windows XP is no longer installed on new PCs as of June 2008. Windows Vista is now the choice operating system for new PCs.
Even though Microsoft claims strong sales for Vista, many consumers have given up on the software and switched back to Windows XP.
David Finn, Microsoft's general counsel on worldwide anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting, said auction sellers were taking advantage of unsuspecting customers.
"These dealers are peddling bogus products that can put customers and their personal information at serious risk," he said.
Microsoft found during their research, that the quality of fake software sold on auction sites is that 34% did not install properly, and 43% contained tampered code that could expose buyers to identity theft or other attacks.
Fake WIndows XP copies were being pushed to help a bogus marketing campaign based on the so-called Blue Edition of the software.
"Consumers should be aware that the so-called 'Blue Edition' software is nothing more than low-quality counterfeit software burned onto a CD," said Mr Finn.
According to Finn, Microsoft provides tools and information to help customers spot fake software.
Microsoft has found that the trade in counterfeit software is now global. New Zealand, North America, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the UK are just some of the continents that have fake versions of their software.
