Jonathan Glover
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2010) |
Jonathan Glover (born 1941) is a British philosopher known for his studies on ethics. He was educated at Tonbridge School, later going on to Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He was a fellow and tutor in philosophy at New College, Oxford. He currently teaches ethics at King's College London. Glover is a fellow of the Hastings Center, an independent bioethics research institution in the United States.
Glover's book Causing Death and Saving Lives, first published in 1977, addresses practical moral questions about life and death decisions in the areas of abortion, infanticide, suicide, euthanasia, choices between people, capital punishment, and war. His approach is broadly consequentialist, though he gives significant weight to questions of individual autonomy, the Kantian notion that we ought to treat other people as ends in themselves rather than merely as means. He criticises the idea that mere consciousness or life itself are intrinsically valuable: these states matter, he argues, because they are pre-requisites for other things that are valuable and make for a life worth living. There is, then, no absolute sanctity of human life.[1] He criticises the principle of double effect[2] and the acts and omissions doctrine,[3] the notion that there is a huge moral difference between killing someone and intentionally letting them die. In his discussion of real cases of moral decisions about killing he draws on insights from history and literature as well as philosophy. Throughout, the emphasis is on the consequences of moral choices for those affected, rather than on abstract principles applied impersonally.
In Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century, published in 1999, Glover considers the psychological factors that predispose us to commit barbaric acts, and suggests how man-made moral traditions and the cultivation of moral imagination can work to restrain us from a ruthlessly selfish treatment of others. Gaining greater understanding of the monsters within us, he argues, is part of the process of caging and containing them.[4] He examines the various types of atrocity that were perpetrated in the 20th century, including Nazi genocide, communist mass killings under Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot, and more recent slaughter in Bosnia and Rwanda, and examines what sort of bulwarks there could be against them. He allows that religion has provided bulwarks, which are getting eroded. He identifies three types of bulwark. The two more dependable are sympathy and respect for human dignity. The less dependable third is Moral Identity: "I belong to a kind of person who would not do that sort of thing". This third is less dependable because notions of moral identity can themselves be warped, as was done by the Nazis.[5]
In The End of Faith, Sam Harris quotes Glover as saying: "Our entanglements with people close to us erode simple self-interest. Husbands, wives, lovers, parents, children and friends all blur the boundaries of selfish concern. Francis Bacon rightly said that people with children have given hostages to fortune. Inescapably, other forms of friendship and love hold us hostage too...Narrow self-interest is destabilized."[citation needed]
In 1989 the European Commission hired Glover to head a panel on embryo research in Europe.[6]
He is married to Vivette Glover, a prominent neuroscientist. Jonathan is father to three and grandfather to two (father to Ruth, Daniel and David Glover and grandfather to Samuel Glover and Josephine Glover).[citation needed]

Nor is it easy to see the moral slippage that ended in genocide beginning with the much-maligned figure of Nietzsche. Glover blames him for liberating Nazi Germans from the constraints of "Judeo-Christian morality" but, in earlier times, the Bible hardly inhibited the practitioners of slavery or European imperialism from inflicting massive human suffering wherever they went. And what has Nietzsche got to do with the Armenian genocide?

Sighting Details
I was sitting on the sofa watching TV when something caught my eye. I looked out the south window and saw what I thought was an airplane. I saw 4 bright lights evenly spaced in a horizontal row. My first thought was that the plane was coming in awfully low. We are sort of in the flight path for Indianapolis International Airport, but the planes this evening had been coming in way east of us. Then I thought that it was odd that there were four lights. They didn't appear to be moving. As I watched, the lights began to go out, one at a time, starting on the left as I viewed them. It was about at one second intervals. When they all went out, I called to my husband that I thought I had just seen a UFO. He put his coat on and went outside, but he saw nothing. For the record, Camp Atterbury lies to the south of us and they have at times sent up flares, but it has been a long time since they did this. Also, these lights were very evenly spaced and they went out sequentially and remained in the position in which I originally saw them. Flares normally settle as they burn and they would not have been perfectly even. |

Should I ask for my old DSL back?How to do this?
speedtest.net and dslreports.com and att.com all report 10MBits down/1MBits up.The bandwith is not the problem -- the DSN response time is.
But the webspeed is "unter aller Sau" -- one has to wait 10s for a website to load.
Shouldn't it be 12Mbps down / 1.5Mbps up?
run UV Realtime
To the OP: Are you using a Mac? Windows machine? Other?Which browser are you using?And how are you setting the DNS?
Wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get them to at least try it. I know it's capped at 800 and I'm sure there is a little extra up there.

Gabrielatos, Costas (2003) Conditional Sentences: ELT typology and corpus evidence. In: BAAL 36th Annual Meeting, 2003-09-042003-09-06, Leeds, UK. (Unpublished)
| PDF (Conditional_Sentences_-_ELT_typology_and_corpus_evidence.pdf) Download (2858Kb) | Preview |
This paper presents the findings of a pilot study examining the representation of the typology of conditional sentences presented in English language teaching (ELT) materials (coursebooks and grammars) in a random sample of 1,000 conditional sentences from the British National Corpus. The if-clause and main clause of the conditional sentences in the sample was annotated for the form of the main verb (particularly tense and aspect), the modal auxiliaries and other lexis expressing modality, time reference and modality. Each sentence was also annotated for the type of relation holding between the two clauses, as well as their relative time reference. ELT materials essentially use the typology in logic (real, counterfactual and hypothetical conditionals), with the addition of two more types, �zero� and �mixed�. The vast majority of ELT materials provide information about the following aspects of conditional sentences: a. The tense-aspect marking of the main verbs in the if-clause and main clause. b. The modal auxiliaries that can be used in each clause. c. The time reference of the conditional sentence (not of each clause). d. The user�s attitude towards possibility. Maule (1988) examined 100 conditional sentences collected from television and found that there was a large group of sentences that could not fit in the framework of the 3 types. The study supports this finding, but also points towards the need to adapt the typology and information offered in ELT materials. The paper reports on the frequency of the five ELT types in the sample and outlines the cases that the typology does not cover. It also presents some preliminary findings regarding patterns in tense marking and modal expression on one hand, and time reference and modality on the other, briefly discusses implications for a pedagogical treatment of conditionals and proposes a tentative adaptation of the ELT typology.

Randy Moss was awarded to the Tennessee Titans on waivers Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
The Vikings placed Moss on waivers Tuesday after he played only four games in his return to Minnesota. Moss caught 13 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns after being obtained in a trade from the Patriots on Oct. 6. He had only one reception for 8 yards in the Vikings' 28-18 loss to New England on Sunday and afterward gave a rambling news conference in which he did not take questions, criticized the Vikings and praised the Patriots.
The next day Moss was let go by the Vikings in a move that the team elected to address only in a short press release until Wednesday.
The Titans will be Moss' fourth NFL team, joining the Vikings (1998-2004, 2010); Raiders (2005-2006) and Patriots (2007-2010). This means 21 teams passed on an opportunity to claim Moss.The Titans were No. 22 on the waiver claim list.
While the Vikings have lost their third-round pick in 2011, they are off the hook for Moss' salary. The Titans will owe Moss the balance of his salary, a figure that will be $3.388 million.

Transverse stability of plane solitons using the variational method
UNSPECIFIED. (1998) Transverse stability of plane solitons using the variational method. JOURNAL OF PLASMA PHYSICS, 59 (Part 3). pp. 543-554. ISSN 0022-3778
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
We present stability results for plane soliton solutions of two versions of the two-dimensional KdV equation, namely the Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation and the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation for positive dispersion (KP+ equation). To do this we use a linear variation-of-action method (VAM). Others have used this method, but with little success when applied to these two equations. The best re suits have given the correct instability range, but the predicted growth rates have significant errors. For the ZK equation we show by paying more attention to the spatially asymptotic form of the trial function, how better estimates of the dispersion relation can be obtained. We go on to obtain the exact dispersion relation for Perturbations of the plane soliton solution of the KP+ equation.

Excerpt Cad: Confessions of a Toxic Bachelor
BY RICK MARIN | Half the female magazine editors in New York were gathering intelligence and recruiting on my behalf. I went on a nightly montage of one-drink stands. There was the wafer thin beauty editor who brought a miniature blender to my apartment because it was time for her protein shake. The ad-agency account exec who told me, "Last time I was in this bar was when I kidney punched my boyfriend." The former Saturday Night Live comedy writer starring in a one-woman show called It's Not Me, It's You. All brokered by their agents d'amour as smart, successful catches who just really needed to meet a "nice guy." Translation: "Self-destructive basketcases who always date assholes." But I made the calls, went on the dates, dutifully worked my material, then went home and thought about Marisa Tomei.
Allure wanted me to profile her. This was a biggie: photos by Herb Ritts, possible cover. My first. I began the ritual preparations, poring over a thick sheaf of Lexis-Nexis'd clips sent by the magazine's research department. Every night for a week, I rented her movies. A screening of her new one, Only You, was held especially for me. I watched jealously as Marisa lapped at Robert Downey Jr.'s chest so furiously I expected her to cough up a hairball.
Our arranged romance began, aptly enough, at a Valentine's Eve theater benefit. I watched her play a bit part with a sexy French accent, but, despite lingering in the lobby like a stage-door Johnny, scored no face time. Date two was a bizarre off-Broadway meditation on homophobia, cannibalism and the films of Katharine Hepburn. Again I'd hoped to nip backstage, but Ms. Tomei fled the theater before I could offer my congratulations for her double role as a porn star and a child psychotic. I wasn't worried. These stalkings, sanctioned by her publicist and my editor, were just to gather background material for the interview itself.
The consummation of our hitherto one-way relationship was set for Café Mogador, a hummus-and-couscous dispensary in the East Village. She arrived a little after 4:00, only half an hour late, and kissed my cheek hello. I forgave her instantly. Her navy pea coat, white jeans and black combat boots was hardly the Halloween costume you'd expect from someone who made People's Worst Dressed List.
I put my microcassette recorder between us and jumped right in with the tough questions.
"So, tell me about Only You."
Marisa took a deep breath, like someone about to burst into a complicated yoga pose.
"It's aboutthe theme of it is, like, can you find your true love and should you hold out for that?"
She bubbled out a squeaky giggle and blinked at me as if I had the answer to this question. Viv might have pointed out the inherent contradiction in rejecting crazy and/or annoying women while lusting after Marisa Tomei. But how easily is the seducer seduced! I knew, objectively, that she was playing me. I also believed she was truly interested. Whoever defined intelligence as the ability to hold two contradictory ideas in your head at the same time was wrong.
A nose-studded waitress moped over.
"I'll have the Moroccan hot cereal," Marissa said.
"That's on the brunch menu, and we stopped serving brunch at four."
"We were hereat four," Marissa said.
A glimpse of the diva.
"I'll see what I can do."
We were alone with our pita bread again.
"She didn't seem to recognize you," I said, slipping accidentally into journalistic mode.
"I did one fuckin' movie!" Marissa said, slipping accidentally into My Cousin Vinny mode. "Why should she recognize me?"
But she soon regained her composure and was bubbling and squeaking again.
"I've met, like - I've gotten to be introduced to the cream of the crop of really talented people. And that makes me, like totallyit sets me on fire . You see how much people attack each other and forget that this is about everybody's growth."
"Did you do a lot of research for the role?"
I recorded her acting theories, her arc and charts and her graphs, as I looked at her insouciantly cropped hair and giant dark eyes. She asked me questions, too. The smart ones always do. What other magazines I wrote for: How long I'd lived in New York. Whether I had a girlfriend. We got along famously.
Famously enough for me to walk her home. And for her to linger in front of her West Village brownstone, telling me about the playwright she'd dumped while shooting Only You in Italy. I pressed as hard as I dared but she refused to divulge his name. So I shifted the conversation back to me.
"Yeah, I don't really like to talk about it," I started to say, reaching for my horn-rims.
I noticed she was staring at my jacket pocket. All of a sudden, she took a step back.
"You're tapin' this?" she said.
My Cousin Vinny again.
I looked down at the telltale red REC light. Damn. A truism of the celebrity interview game is that you get your best stuff before and after the official interview. I always kept the tape rolling. The thing must have shifted in my pocket.
"I can't fuckin' believe that," Marisa said.
"I know. I mean, I guess it was just on."
Her black combat boots stomped up the steps of her brownstone.
"Don't worry, I won't use it!" I shouted after her.
Even at work, I was in Bachelor Hell.

Household The Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management does a lot of planning and practicing year round to ensure the County is ready to respond to a variety of emergency situations, but there is absolutely nothing that can take the place of personal readiness. Being "ready" means being able to stay or go on a moment's notice. Officials say this is easily done, but very few people actually take the time to do it. A recent survey of county residents revealed that 40% have done nothing to prepare to shelter themselves in their homes for any length of time and 67% responded that they have done nothing to prepare for an evacuation.
Preparedness is as simple as . . .

ARCANUM - Arcanum High School students participated in Serve Arcanum for the second year on Friday, serving their community in appreciation for all that their community does for their school, said Jason Stephan, AHS principal.
Students went out into the community Friday morning, completing tasks that ranged from gardening to painting and cleaning, to show their appreciation for the support given to them, Stephan said. It's also a way to help build a "servant's heart" in AHS students so that they can carry forward the tradition of giving back into their adulthood, he added.
"It's a really nice way for the students to give back to our community, and they have fun doing nice things for others," one teacher commented.
The students washed and waxed fire trucks at Arcanum Volunteer Fire Department, planted flowers and helped make some spring-time upgrades at Ivester Park and community homes, and completed some upgrades at the Arcanum Pool among other tasks.
In their bright orange Serve Arcanum t-shirts, the teens were easy to spot around Arcanum Friday morning, serving those who serve them in their education, whether through teaching, or through their taxes that provide the new K-12 building that students benefit from daily, Stephan noted.

Not with this amazing product...total must. I apply my cream moisturizer, then pat this miracle product over the top. Happy skin!
I love this facial oil! It goes on really smoothly, feels really light, is unscented, and moisturizes and hydrates my face. Its not greasy at all. I wish facial oils had SPF so I could wear them all the time, but I love using this stuff right after I wash my face every night.
5I would have never thought I'd want oil on my face for fear of suffering a teenage breakout. However, this did nothing of the sort. Hydrates perfectly, it's very balanced with the natural oils in your skin. I've recently became very fond of face oils and multi-use dry oils. I'm so happy they are becoming more popular and cost effective.

This is what I made for breakfast today. It came about because of a discussion on the forums where Denise wanted to tweak a recipe she had made for her children. It was really scrumptious, and I will definitely do it again with other seasonal fruits, like cooked apples in the fall. I put it together last night and let it soak over night, then I made the crumble topping this morning and baked it at 350F 180C(I think) for 30 minutes or so and let it stand a few min. before serving.

Mussels in White Wine
Total Time: 1 hr 0 min Prep 10 min Inactive 30 min Cook 20 min
Yield: 2 servings
Community Recipe from
- 3 pound(s) mussels Cultivated
- 1/3 cup(s) flour All-purpose
- 2 tablespoon(s) butter Unsalted
- 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- 1 cup(s) shallots 5 to 7 chopped
- 1-1/2 tablespoon(s) garlic 5 to 6 cloves minced
- 1/2 cup(s) canned plum tomatoes chopped and drained, 4 oz.
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) saffron threads
- 1/3 cup(s) flat-leaf parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon(s) thyme leaves Fresh
- 1 cup(s) White wine
- 2 teaspoon(s) Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon(s) Pepper Freshly ground
- Directions
- To clean the mussels, put them in a large bowl with 2 quarts of water and the flour and soak for 30 minutes, or until the mussels disgorge any sand. Drain the mussels, then remove the "beard" from each with your fingers. If they're dirty, scrub the mussels with a brush under running water. Discard any mussels whose shells aren't tightly shut.
- In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes; then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the tomatoes, saffron, parsley, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Add the mussels, stir well, then cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the mussels are opened (discard any that do not open). With the lid on, shake the pot once or twice to be sure the mussels don't burn on the bottom. Pour the mussels and the sauce into a large bowl and serve hot.

Eric did a geat demo showing us how to get started using Java to make Servlets inside our XPages Applications.

This show finally sees a slightly different format that I've been wanting to do for a while. We did this demo via

NotesIn9 hits 300,000 downloads

Between my libsyn.com hosting and YouTube, the total downloads/views for NotesIn9 have now hit 300,000. Not too shabby for my little corner of the internet I think. Was almost a year ago that I announced 250,000 downloads. So looks like there's still strong interest in XPages. It's also good to see people doing lots of videos on their own site or via OpenNTF! I do have more shows coming up. A great one by Sean McManus will be up next. Hope everyone has a great 2015! Thank

We count the number of Christmas Trees that we see on cars and trucks. By count I mean the first one who sees it and calls it gets a point. And by calls it I mean the first person who shouts "TREE!" get's that tree as a point. It's actually loads of fun while still

In today's show I take a brake from the Learning XPages series and do a little demo on updating a project in source control. So it kind of goes with the Learning XPages series but really isn't part of it. The Learning XPages series is going on a little break while I work on a more important holiday project – but hopefully that project will turn into shows as well. As always let me know if you have any comments or questions. Thanks!

James Jones: Packers can have three 1,000-yard receivers in 2013
The Green Bay Packers have never had three 1,000-yard receivers in the same season, but that could change in 2013, at least according to James Jones. Jones believes the Packers can produce three 1,000-yard receivers next season if everyone stays healthy.
"I've been on record as saying that I believe we have three 1,000-yard receivers in this room," Jones said, via the Green Bay Press Gazette. "I believe me, Randall [Cobb] and Jordy [Nelson], if we all stay healthy, we can all reach over 1,000."
Jones thinks that losing Greg Jennings to the Vikings and Donald Driver to retirement will only help the rest of the receiving corps.
"It's exciting and we're all excited because we know the departure of Greg and Donald means more opportunities for us," Jones said. "Do you want to lose guys like that? No, but it gives us the chance to step up."
Nelson, Cobb and Jones will definitely have to step up to meet Jones' lofty prognostication.
Not only have the Packers never had three 1,000-yard receivers in the same season, but they've had two receivers reach the 1,000-yard mark in the same season only five times in franchise history. To be more precise, that's five times in 92 seasons.
However, if three 1,000-yard receivers is going to happen for the first time, Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback to do it. In Rodgers' five seasons as the Packers starter, Green Bay has had multiple 1,000-yard receivers twice -- in 2008 and 2009.
The trio came up 571 yards short of reaching Jones' goal last season. Cobb finished 2012 with a team-high 954 receiving yards, Jones tallied 784 yards while Nelson finished with 745.

text: By TOM ZEBOLD USF Senior Writer The Bulls faced the No. 2 team in the country and didn't flinch Tuesday night in Gainesville. Jimmy Falla hit a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh and Andrew Longley launched his second solo homer in the eighth to help the USF baseball team hold off Florida, 5-3, at and snap a 12-game losing streak against the Gators. "They're the second-best team in America and we came out here and we played... We've got a group of guys that fight," said head coach Lelo Prado, who recorded his first win over a top-10 team since joining the Bulls in 2007. USF (28-14) didn't waste much time jumping on Florida in its first victory over the Gators since May 11, 2005. Longley put the Bulls ahead with an RBI groundout in the second inning and Kyle Teaf made it a 2-0 lead with an RBI single before the frame was finished. Longley started his power surge in the sixth when he gave USF a 3-0 lead with a homer to left-center. Florida had a big answer for the Bulls in the bottom half in the inning when Nolan Fontana led off with a homer and Mike Zunino added a two-run longball to tie the game at 3. Falla came through in the clutch in the seventh with a two-out single that scored Todd Brazeal from second. Longley's 2-for-4 night was complete in the eighth when the senior connected with the first pitch he saw and put another ball over the wall in left-center. "We didn't even need the (second home run) at the end, but it was great to have for myself," Longley said. "The whole team was swinging the bat as well, not just me." Power provided the Bulls with a two-run lead, but an electric effort by five USF pitchers definitely was instrumental in the program's first win over a team in the top 20 since a 5-2 decision over No. 18 Stetson on April 19, 2011. Midweek starter Matt Reed gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings that gave USF the chance to relax a bit at the plate. Reed provided some humor before the game when he chatted with Prado about the pressure-packed chance to face the Gators. "Coach asked me before the game if I was nervous. I said, 'Coach, you threw me against the Yankees. I don't think it gets bigger than that,'" said Reed, who faced New York in an exhibition earlier this season. Usual Friday night starter Andrew Barbosa wound up with the win after relieving Reed and getting the final out in the sixth. Austin Adams followed with 1 1/3 scoreless innings, Nick Gonzalez kept Florida off the scoreboard for an inning and Steven Leasure locked up the victory by getting the final two outs, including a groundout by Zunino with the bases loaded. "The bullpen did their jobs," Longley said. "... I've been waiting to beat this team forever, which feels like 10 years. We haven't beaten them, so it feels good." The Bulls have won five of their past seven games and get back into Big East play at home 7 p.m. Friday against Villanova in the opener of a three-game series at USF baseball stadium. USF has surpassed its entire 2011 wins total by three games already with 13 contests remaining this regular season and Prado knows Tuesday's victory was a huge boost for the Bulls' postseason chances. "If this isn't a resume builder, I don't know what its," Prado said. |

Let's go Nintendo
Super Mario Bolsheviks
Was Mario some Communist propaganda? "If anything can be said about Mario, it is that he seems to wear quite a bit a red . It's on his name, it's the color of his suspenders, his super mushrooms, his flag, even his hat." He does kinda look like an 8-bit Stalin, but a more important question must be asked: "Is Mario a drug pusher?"
Do you miss the music from your old NES games?
Do you miss the music from your old NES games? Well if you do, be sure to check out the minibosses. They're a band that only plays the songs to classic video games from the Nintendo Entertainment System. Great stuff. I particularly enjoyed the Wizards & Warriors track amusing, since I was addicted to that game when I was younger. Also, am I the only one who thinks there should be a new console system DEDICATED to only 2D games? 3D games are neat 'n all, but I don't think enough good 2D games are being made anymore. The Gameboy Advance is probably the only system doing that sort of thing right now, but it's just a portable.
Every once in a while I get a bad case of 8-bit nostalgia, and I remember fondly my many hours of joy with my Nintendo Entertainment System. One of the most fun games on the NES had to be Tetris, and this history of the game is a neat read. TSR's NES Archive is another cool site dealing with the NES. Of course, the original Legend of Zelda is the best game of all time, but that's another thread entirely.

Irvine, Calif., Feb. 16, 2010 Butterfly experts have suspected for more than 150 years that vision plays a key role in explaining wing color diversity. Now, for the first time, research led by UC Irvine biologists proves this theory true at least in nine Heliconius species.
Butterflies that have a duplicate gene allowing them to see ultraviolet colors also have UV-yellow pigment on their wings, reports the study by UCI's Adriana Briscoe, Seth Bybee and colleagues. The UV-yellow pigment may help the butterflies survive by facilitating the search for appropriate mates, which leaves more time for reproducing, eating and thriving.
"They're not wasting their time chasing after the wrong mate," said Briscoe, associate professor of ecology & evolutionary biology and lead author of the study, published online recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Butterflies developed a copy of their UV-vision gene and began displaying UV-yellow pigment 12 million to 25 million years ago, the scientists believe. Of the 14,000 butterfly species in the world, only the Heliconius living in the forests of Mexico and Central and South America are known to have the duplicate gene.
After researchers discovered the copied gene, "we wanted to find out why it might be advantageous," Briscoe said. They examined thousands of wing-color patches and found that butterflies with just one UV-vision gene had yellow wing pigment that was not UV. However, the pigment was UV in butterflies with both genes.
Early naturalists hypothesized that wing-color mimicry causing butterflies to resemble bad-tasting relatives emerged as a defense mechanism to confuse predators such as birds. This created a problem, though: Butterflies that evolved to look alike had a hard time identifying the right species with which to mate.
Having both genes allows molecules to form in the eyes that are more sensitive to UV li

Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied.
Man is the only animal with the powers of laughter, a privilege which was not bestowed on him for nothing. Let us then laugh while we may, no matter how broad the laugh may be, and despite of what the poet says about ?the loud laugh that speaks the vacant mind.? The mind should occasionally be vacant, as the land should sometimes lie fallow, and for precisely the same reason.

Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passive sex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They hate change of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal.

No animal should ever jump up on the dining-room furniture unless absolutely certain that he can hold his own in the conversation.
Nor was civil society founded merely to preserve the lives of its members; but that they might live well: for otherwise a state might be composed of slaves, or the animal creation... nor is it an alliance mutually to defend each other from injuries, or for a commercial intercourse. But whosoever endeavors to establish wholesome laws in a state, attends to the virtues and vices of each individual who composes it; from whence it is evident, that the first care of him who would found a city, truly deserving that name, and not nominally so, must be to have his citizens virtuous.
– Aristotle
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.

One is tempted to define man as a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.

Political policy is like a wild animal; it cannot be perfectly perceived, only appropriately considered.
– Tyler DeVinaspre
Politics is still crucially important. Our choices are vital, and we've got to make them, and not just say, 'Oh, they're all the same.' They are all the same in certain ways, alas -- a political animal is such an animal. But lurking somewhere behind their rhetoric and their spittle are important choices that we should make.

Day 3, NOLA
During a teacher panel at Green Charter School a former teacher told us, "The school system in New Orleans is a replica of Colonialism". From my point of view I feel she was trying to pinpoint the fact that charter schools are taking over the existing
education system in New Orleans, implementing a school structure whose views derive from the outsider not the insider. In other words, the people that are running charter schools do not know a thing about what is happening in the city, leading to a lack of knowledge as to what New Orleanian children really need in terms of education in order to succeed. Many charter schools in New Orleans are creating a school structure mainly focused on standardized tests which is not reflecting any difference from what the schools looked like before the storm.
I feel that charter schools are monopolizing public education in New Orleans. Most of the charter schools in the city are independent, teaching students in various ways; however there are a few schools that are run by the same entity creating various schools with the same curricula. This does not mean that there is any difference between these charter schools though. What I'm seeing as the result of most charter schools is, children going to college with different educational understanding and experiences, all deriving from the same city schools, and all failing the school system. At the end of the day most institutions mainly focus on increasing test scores and reaching a benchmark where their school is at the top based on those test scores. Ultimately, the focus on test scores is what is important not the well being and education of the students themselves.

is 3 degrees resolution too jerky?
and why did you use 360? don't accelerometers only do 180 before being basically inverted?
probably going for a coanda effect UFO now
3-deg is definitely too jerky for a quad rotor - the vehicle is inherently unstable, and you'll need much tighter control.
ummmm Im sure you can run some type of filter on it . . . what would you say is acceptable accuracy?

Please check the size chart has printed out to the correct size by measuring the scale at the bottom of the chart, this must measure 10cm otherwise the indicated size may not be accurate.
Please fold the paper along the dotted line and place the chart on a hard surface against an immovable vertical surface such as a skirting board to help gain an accurate measure.
Place the left foot on the chart and record the length of the foot (e.g. 2¼) repeat for the right foot (e.g. 2½).
Based on these results a size 3 would be selected. As most people's feet are not the same size the size of shoe is determined by the largest foot.
Children will also need some growing room so if the fitting indicates either foot is longer than the full size it may be beneficial to order the next size up.

A new study shows that the risk of fatal car crashes goes up on tax day.
Examining 30 years of road crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, researchers led by Dr. Donald Redelmeier of the University of Toronto compared the number of fatal car accidents occurring on tax day (April 15 or whichever weekday that taxes are due), one week before and one week later. Their results show that 19,541 people were involved in fatal crashes on the 30 tax days — that's 404, or 6%, more than on the non-tax days the researchers studied.
The underlying causes aren't clear, but the researchers say it is likely human stress that's leading to extra deaths. "Stressful deadlines lead to driver distraction and short-term human error," says Dr. Redelmeier. "Other reasons could include sleep deprivation, inadvertent distractions and less tolerance towards hassles on tax day."
No one is immune to the tension that comes from filing taxes either. "Who looks to tax day in a joyful way? Even those who are getting refunds are stressed. Refunds are never as big as they thought and there is always the chance they could be reviewed at a later date," says Dr. Redelmeier.
It doesn't help that filing taxes in the U.S. is a particularly frazzling experience. "Filing individual tax returns is a big deal. The U.S. tax code is twice as long as Canada's and 10 times as long as France's. So for the average family of four, it amounts to about 40 hours of work each year, and a lot of people pack it up at the end. They don't spread out the work," Redelmeier says.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
What about my budget?
Every year about this time, some of the world's wealthiest business people and their political chums go to Davos in the Swiss Alps to look down on the rest of us.
But this year was different. The participants were subdued. They were worried about political chaos in Europe and sluggish growth in the U.S. And they were concerned about the increasing gap between the rich and the poor.
What's that? Rich people in a mountain retreat are picking up lines from the ragamuffin Occupy movement?
It would seem so.
The forum's usually upbeat founder, Klaus Schwab, said he remains a deep believer in free markets, but that capitalism is out of whack and needs to be fixed "to serve society." He welcomed ideas about how to fix it -- including these from the Occupy protest.
The Occupy movement is worried about the moral implications of the big income gap between rich and poor. Many business people are also concerned about the economic effects of inequality. Economies based on inequality are like a cart with one large wheel and a small one. They're unstable and they can tip over, causing serious losses.
The gap between Canada's rich and poor is growing, says a report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Canada's income gap is well above that of the OECD's 34-nation average, but not as extreme as that in the U.S.
"Greater inequality causes economic, political and ethical challenges, as it risks leaving a growing number of people behind in an ever-changing economy," says the OECD paper. A study by the International Monetary Fund says nations with greater income inequality tend to see shorter, less sustained periods of economic growth.
Taxing the rich more is one way to narrow the gap, says the OECD. U.S. President Barack Obama is racing down that route, saying in a barn-burner state of the union address that America must restore an economy "where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules."
More important than taxation, says the OECD, is investing more in people, with an emphasis on education, skills training and job-retraining programs. "More and better jobs, enabling people to escape poverty and offering real career prospects is the most important challenge," says the organization.
Last month, a CIBC report highlighted the problems of the middle and lower classes. Employment quality deteriorated last year, says the bank. More people moved into self-employment or lower-paying positions. Nearly all the job growth occurred in the first half of 2011, says the bank. But it slowed a great deal in the last six months as the quality of work worsened.
As both the quantity and quality of employment fell, it's "hardly surprising that real disposable income was unchanged in the first three quarters of 2011 -- the worst showing in 15 years," says the CIBC.
Many new jobs, says the report, have come in low-paying sectors such as hotel services, restaurants, miscellaneous manufacturing and personal care. In addition, there's been a major shift away from full-time employment to part-time. As many as one in eight Canadians now holds a temporary job, Statistics Canada says. Contract positions in 2009 accounted for 52 per cent of all temporary positions. More than a quarter of the people involved were professionals.
Ken Lewenza, president of the Canadian Auto Workers union, says we're "in a race to the bottom." Ottawa, he adds, has to better measure the quality of employment, not just the quantity.
Last year was terrible for wage growth. By November, average weekly earnings rose only 1.1 per cent on a year-over-year basis. Inflation was at three per cent due to a jump in the prices of food and energy. By year-end, wages were falling in real terms.
The problems of individuals are reflected in our national statistics. Last week, Statistics Canada reported real gross domestic product shrank 0.1 per cent in November, following zero growth in October. In the last three recorded months, our economy has grown a measly 0.7 per cent.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been talking a lot about the government's budget. Fair enough. But, perhaps, he could talk a tad more about the health of the budgets of ordinary folks.
Tom Ford is editor of The Issues Network.

The Project on Political Transformation and the Electoral Process in Post-Communist Europe was part of the Economic and Social Research Councils One Europe or Several? research programme. The project was based in the Department of Government at the University of Essex between May 1999 and May 2002.
The project has now ended and the text below was posted at the beginning of the project.
Background and overview
The research investigates how different aspects of the electoral system affect democratic performance and the process of political reform in post-communist Europe. The role of electoral systems will be identified and explained by refining and testing empirical models derived from the study of electoral systems in established democracies. A variety of historical, comparative and quantitative methods will be employed to carry out analyses of the role of competitive elections in the process of democratisation and their effects on democratic performance, defined as the expression of popular preferences, representativeness, and policy responsiveness. The investigation focuses on a set of nineteen Central European, South-East European, and former Soviet countries. It will assess the varying impacts of different types of electoral system, comprising formulae for the conversion of votes into seats, participation criteria, and the regulations governing candidates and campaigns.
The principal aim of the project is to explain the role of electoral systems in the process of democratisation in post-communist Europe. Objectives linked to the overall aim are both conceptual and practical:
(a) to advance the theoretical understanding of elections by expanding the range of dependent and independent variables incorporated into their comparative analysis;
(b) to explain the extent to which theoretical and empirical findings from Western Europe do or do not apply to the newly democratising countries;
(c) to advise those in positions to influence the drafting of electoral laws on the variety of alternatives at their disposal and the likely consequences of adopting them;
(d) to increase access to data on Eastern European elections since 1989 and thus to facilitate independent analysis by other researchers and electoral designers.

Douglas Florian's diminutive gouache/collage paintings on paper at BravinLee programs are part of a 613 page book project called "Sefer Shel Or," which is Hebrew for "The Book of Light." The paintings, made over the past eight years, have a charmingly rumpled insouciance and run the emotional gamut from sadness and anxiety, to peacefulness and joy. "My drawings are abstract regressionist… movingly still, but still moving, emotional notions about motion, configurations of constellations… both drawn and withdrawn," Florian writes. "My drawings are bottle-fed and battle-torn, drawn from the natural and unnatural."

Bedrock displacements in Greenland manifest ice mass variations, climate cycles and climate change
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2012
The Greenland GPS Network (GNET) uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to measure the displacement of bedrock exposed near the margins of the Greenland ice sheet. The entire network is uplifting in response to past and present-day changes in ice mass. Crustal displacement is largely accounted for by an annual oscillation superimposed on a sustained trend. The oscillation is driven by earth's elastic response to seasonal variations in ice mass and air mass (i.e., atmospheric pressure). Observed vertical velocities are higher and often much higher than predicted rates of postglacial rebound (PGR), implying that uplift is usually dominated by the solid earth's instantaneous elastic response to contemporary losses in ice mass rather than PGR. Superimposed on longer-term trends, an anomalous 'pulse' of uplift accumulated at many GNET stations during an approximate six-month period in 2010. This anomalous uplift is spatially correlated with the 2010 melting day anomaly.
