DATE & TIME: Saturday, December 7, 10 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Bren Events Center (4,984) -- Irvine, California. Television: None. Home Record: Pepperdine 2-2, UC Irvine 3-2. Away Record: Pepperdine 2-0, UC Irvine 2-2. Neutral Record: Pepperdine 1-2, UC Irvine 0-0. Conference Record: Pepperdine 0-0, UC Irvine 0-0. Series Record: Pepperdine leads, 11-10.
GAME NOTES: Two teams with matching records will try to settle their differences when the Pepperdine Waves visit the UC Irvine Anteaters for a non- conference showdown at Bren Events Center.
A quick start to the season has dissipated for the Waves, who have fallen in three of their last four games. The most recent setback occurred on Wednesday as the Waves were run off their home floor by Cal State Fullerton, 78-64. Pepperdine has won both of its road games on the campaign as they start this quick two-game swing that finishes against Washington State.
UC Irvine had won back-to-back games before traveling to face California this past Monday. The Anteaters' win streak came to an end in the 73-56 loss. UC Irvine, like Pepperdine, is 5-4 overall on the season with only minor success as a host team (3-2). UC Irvine begins a four-game road trip when it next takes the floor against Eastern Washington.
Pepperdine broke a tie in the all-time series last season when it bested UC Irvine, 72-62. The Waves now lead the series by a count of 11-10.
Despite 24 points from Brendan Lane, Pepperdine was unable to claim a victory against Cal State Fullerton as the Waves fell apart in the second half. During the period the Waves hit only 37 percent of their field goal attempts, while allowing the Titans to net 56.7 percent. The showing turned a five-point halftime lead to a 78-64 loss for Pepperdine.
Failing to shoot the ball well is not something Pepperdine has been dealing with this season as they are putting in 51 percent of their field-goal tries. However, the Waves have struggled with ball control turning the ball over 121 times already this season, which is the most in the West Coast Conference. Lane (16.2 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 2.9 bpg) is a productive player in the frontcourt with his ability to score around the rim, as well as protect the paint on defense. Stacy Davis (16 ppg, 6.4 rpg) also puts forth strong work on the interior. Jeremy Major (10.3 ppg, 5.8 apg) is a pass-first guard that can score when need be.
UC Irvine was ice cold in the first half and could never recover during the second frame. The Anteaters hit just 20.6 percent of their field-goal attempts during the opening period of the game, including misses on all seven attempts from beyond the arc. Chris McNealy finished with a team-high 13 points, but on just 6-of-17 shooting.
It was an alarming shooting performance both from McNealy and the team as a whole. UC Irvine is connecting on 48.6 percent of their field-goal tries this season, while scoring 82.2 points per game. Strong ball movement is the key as the Anteaters are fifth in the nation in assists (18.8 pg). McNealy (11.9 ppg) is part of a quarter of scorers the Anteaters rely on. The load is carried rather evenly with Will Davis II (11.8 ppg, 7.6 rpg), Luke Nelson (11.6 ppg) and Alex Young (10.4 ppg, 4.2 apg) all providing similar production in terms of scoring. Davis also serves as the top option on the glass, while being aided in the frontcourt by rim-protector Mamadou Ndiaye (8.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.2 bpg).
Another off night from the floor is unlikely for the Anteaters as they return home on Saturday. Ndiaye should be able to neutralize some of the Waves frontcourt attack and Davis will open up shots on the outside for the Anteaters' superior group of guards.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: UC Irvine 79, Pepperdine 74

Prime Minister's dissembling, hypocritical and disingenuous speech to religious leaders
By TERRY SANDERSON - NATIONAL SECULAR SOCIETY
Added: Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:22:00 UTC
The Prime Minister, David Cameron, gave an Easter reception for Christian leaders at Downing Street this week at which he delivered an unctuous speech of such disingenuousness and hypocrisy that it almost takes the breath away.
He starts by saying he welcomes the Easter message as being one of hope, but at the same time admits that he has problems believing a word of it - particularly the resurrection! Even so, he welcomes what he calls the "Christian fightback" in Britain.
It is not clear what this "fightback" is against but he measures it in "the enormous reception of the Pope's visit."
However, the Pope's visit – as the Catholic Church's own research showed – was a comprehensive flop.
Cameron says "we've won the argument over Bideford Council and the fact that if councils want to say prayers before council meetings they should."
They have "won" by declaring that a High Court judgment is, in their opinion, wrong and have unilaterally over-ruled it. Isn't that the sort of thing that dictators do – particularly theocratic dictators? The interpretation that Mr Pickles has put on the Localism Act is highly suspect and untested in court, yet he blithely announces that it means whatever he says it means.
Then Mr Cameron says: "I think we see the fight-back in this very strong stance that I've taken and others have taken in terms of the right to wear a crucifix. I think this is important. People should be able to express their faith."
But when did people not have the right to wear a crucifix or express their faith? This is a fantasy propagated by Christian extremists in this country and one that the Prime Minister has embraced either through cynicism or gullibility.
He also failed to mention that his own Government's legal arguments in the European Court say that employers have the right to restrict the wearing of jewellery (not crosses –but any jewellery) in the workplace if it is necessary. I think he is hoping nobody notices that.
The Prime Minister's promotion of what appears to be some kind of Christian theocracy for Britain sits uneasily with his advocacy of secularism for the Arab world where, he says, there is an "enormous danger in terms of the persecution of minorities and particularly the persecution of Christians".
Perhaps the most telling part of the speech is about his conflict with religion over gay marriage. He hopes that the religious leaders he is addressing will not be too harsh. And just in case they won't let up in their relentless and unpleasant campaigning against gay rights, he throws out a hope to them that he might give in to their bullying. "If this doesn't go ahead, to those of us who'd like it to go ahead, there will still be civil partnerships, so gay people will be able to form a partnership that gives them many of the advantages of marriage," he says.
It is at this point that gay couples who had hoped to tie the knot can start to take down the bunting and cancel the wedding cake order.
It is the first inkling that the promises he made to the gay community are very likely to be betrayed.
He doesn't want to lock horns with the churches on this because he needs them on board for his "Big Society" project.
Ah yes, the Big Society, the idea that "faith-based" organisations are somehow going to run our public services without any extra money from the Government.
Britain is one of the most secularised countries in the world. Even on a conservative estimate a third of population has no religion (with about 20% being outright atheists). What is the place of this gigantic minority? Are we supposed to just fall in line behind our "faith leaders"? Are we supposed to stand by as they take over the education system for their own propaganda purposes; usurp secular social services and religionise them; and bring their small-minded illiberal teachings into our bedrooms and even our health care?
Mr Cameron's craven speech in which he promises religion the key to the country is a gross insult to those of us who don't have religion and don't want religion. It is a warning to gay people that the tables are turning and that "religious rights" will soon pull ahead of everybody else's rights – particularly theirs.

Ford Lehman 120 Tachometer Connection
My tachometer has stopped working when the engine is running although it responds when I turn the ignition key. I had a flood in the bilge and need to locate where the tach is connected to the engine to investigate if that connection is corroded. I have yet to locate where that connection may be. Any suggestions?

Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture has published yet another article: Brant Gardner's "From the East to the West: The Problem of Directions in the Book of Mormon."
Although I can't guarantee that the steady pace will continue forever — we didn't necessarily set out with a goal of posting something every week — we have, thus far, not missed a single Friday since the first article went up on 3 August 2012, and we're still adding articles to the queue.
Pretty remarkable, I think, for a journal that has no office space and no salaried employees, pays no royalties, and has only recently begun to acquire enough capital to be able to think about even a modest budget.

Personal Finance 101 with H. Swint Friday
A supersize lesson from fast-food finances
Wow, what has the world come to? My kids persuaded me to take them to McDonald's for breakfast. As most parents know, McDonald's is not a cheap meal when kids are involved. To add insult to injury, they have started charging for any condiments over the one per serving.
That means that our meal had an additional 50-cent charge for extra condiments and when you consider billions and billions served that will undoubtedly be a lot of money.
The benefit of this extra charge is that it caused my son to become irritated at the thought of having to pay extra for all of those packets of picante that he loves to slather on his sausage and egg burrito.
This created an opportunity for me to inject one of my financial lessons about the cumulative cost of these fast-food detours over a year versus eating breakfast at home.
My kids always vote against the idea because daddy's cooking is a little too bland (healthy) for them. However, I countered with a financial offer agreeing to chip in a dollar apiece on their pet fund for each breakfast eaten at home provided they eat the breakfast.
Like all parents, one of the questions that I struggle with as I raise my children is how much of their daily routine I should tie to money and how much of it should they just do. We want our children to become financially savvy, which allows them to hopefully become independent at some point. Part of becoming financially savvy is recognizing the value of their time in regard to making money to cover expenses.
As a finance guy, I tend to tie more things to money than most parents. I have two goals in mind when doing this. The first is the trade-off between work and reward, which provides the lesson that as a rule, you do not get something for nothing. The second motivation is to teach them to manage their money and their human capital and the relationship between the two.
I really do not like giving them money for any personal consumption and put them on a budget for necessary consumption that forces them to make choices. To accommodate their personal spending, I try to give them opportunities to earn extra cash for the consumer items that they want, including eating at a fast-food place when I would rather not. This also helps them relate the cost of a given item to the effort they must put in to afford the item.
For necessary items such as school clothes and supplies, I like to give each child a fixed amount of money and have them select the items they want with my final approval. This eliminates most arguments on whether they liked my selections. It also forces them to make budgetary choices.
I quit giving my children a straight allowance, preferring them to earn any money they get from me for discretionary spending. Philosophically, I do not have any substantial issues with allowances. I don't need them in my particular situation because I have a business that provides ample opportunities for them to earn extra spending money if they work hard. However, I do not believe that an allowance should be given without requiring some contribution to the family.
The allowance should be based on reasonable and easily assessable chores. If the allowance is based on ambiguous guidelines, then the child may give up because there is no clear standard, and the awarding of the allowance seems random. Chores such as hauling out the garbage twice a week and washing the dishes two nights a week are easy to assess for awarding an allowance.
In regards to amounts, it may vary according to the income of the family where as a general rule being too low is not much of a problem while being too high puts too much money in immature hands. A common rule that I have heard that seems like a reasonable starting point is to award $1 for each year of age.
These numbers may need to vary based on participation in extra-curricular activities and school-related activities. You do not want to create a situation where a child is opting out of challenging academic and extra-curricular activities to make additional money. One strategy may be to reward this type of participation with additional incentives, and I see no reason why good grades should not be rewarded too.
In the end, each parent-child relationship is unique and evolving. We are all just trying to do the best that we can for our children and never will be perfect. But, the key is to keep trying and always try to improve and learn from any failures.

Fiery Frankie zooms ahead
Builds 4-shot lead after a 64
FRANKIE Miñoza came up with an even more scorching round of 8-under-par 64 set up by a back nine 29 yesterday to seize a four-shot lead over Angelo Que heading into the final 18 holes of the P1-million ICTSI Pueblo De Oro Championship in Cagayan de Oro.
The legendary 53-year-old, priming up for the British Senior Open late this month, posted a 36-hole 131 total after opening with a 67 just days after blitzing the field with a 9-under 63 in the final round of the Del Monte Championship in Bukidnon.
Miñoza, the reigning Japan Senior Open champion, has now played his last three rounds at a combined 22 under and his last five rounds at 26. He wasn't this hot even when he was dominating the now defunct Asian Golf Circuit in the 1980s.
Que, a multileg winner on the Asian Tour, actually matched Miñoza's 29 but a front-nine 37 left him with a 66 and 135 total.
Miñoza had two eagles for the day, the first coming on the 17th hole—his eighth—when he hit a four-iron approach that stopped within putter-length of the cup. He actually closed out his first nine—like Que—by going six under on his final five holes.
Que eagled the par-5 15th.
"Is that so?" Miñoza replied in Filipino when informed that he and Que were engaged in a torrid birdie-splurge in separate flights. "I had no idea what Angelo was doing. I just played my game."
Miñoza actually missed taking an even bigger lead into today's final 18 holes after he three-putted the eighth green—his 17th hole—and then put his drive into the trees on the ninth for a bogey-bogey finish.
No player has won back-to-back legs in the circuit this year.
Elmer Salvador still has a shot at spoiling another Miñoza celebration as he stood just five down after a 68, with Rufino Bayron another shot back at 137 after a 69.
Joenard Rates, who shared the first-round lead with Miñoza, returned a 71 and fell seven strokes behind at 139, in a tie with Benjie Magada (70), Jay Bayron (70) and Orlan Sumcad—who also fired a 64.
The event is being backed by Nike Golf, Empire Golf and Sports Shop, Mizuno, Titleist, Srixon, Foot Joy, Callaway, Pacsports, Custom Clubmakers, Cleveland Golf and Sharp.

Quick Explanation:
My C: Drive has absolutely no space at all (0 bytes) and I cannot uninstall programs, as there is not enough room for them to create temp files. I also cannot create a screenshot as Paint won't save (even to my E: drive) and Photoshop won't load.
Please help me and tell me how I can free up a lot of space (as I did have about 16 GB free and have not put ANY more files on the C: drive since I had that much free
I have tried ALL of the Disk Cleanup options and the Disk Defragmentor; none of them clear up anything.
Detailed Explanation:
My laptop was supposed to have 80GB when I bought it, however, I noticed, after I bought it, it had two drives, each at 40GB; thus, I assumed it was either partitioned or there were two seperate drives...anyway, that is beside the point. What is the problem is this:
I orignally put ALL of my files on the C: drive, however, a few months ago my C: drive was getting extremely full. I had about 3 GB of space left, so what I did was took all of my documents, music, pictures, videos, etc and put them all on the E: drive (which was the other 40GB of my laptop). This gave my C: drive a healthy 16GB of free space (or something like that) and my E: drive also had about 20GB of free space.
However, recently, within the last two weeks, I noticed that my C: drive had somehow got really full again, it was in the red and had about 1GB of free space , so I tried Disk Cleanup and uninstalling uneeded programs. I did this and it only cleared up about 300MB of space. So I just left it.
Now, I was just innocently browsing the Internet on my laptop on Saturday and I got a pop-up at the bottom telling me my C: Drive was running dangerously low (or something along those lines), so I checked it and it said it had about 200MB free, so I did Disk Cleanup, which added about 245MB of free space and I left it at that.
Today, it told me that I only had 100MB of free space althogether on the Drive! So I tried Disk Cleanup which only gave me about 67KB of free space. After that, I tried Disk Defragmenter and that made the problem worse and left me with only 43KB of space left altogether. That's when I got worried, so I tried to uninstall a program to clear up space and it told me it needed about 1,634KB in order to create a temp. file to uninstall the program.
I now look at my C: drive and it tells me there is literally 0 bytes of space left.
This means I cannot uninstall ANY program to free up space and Disk Cleanup also does not clear up much as I have already done it.
Please can ANYONE help me???
I am getting very worried, as it tells me my system may become unstable with lower than 300MB free on the C: drive and System Restore would also not work under 300MB.
I'd be EXTREMELY grateful.
Thank you in advance, and sorry for my lack of computer knowledge.

Teen bicyclist killed in crash
KNOXVILLE —A teenager died after he was struck by a Ryder truck today while crossing a busy Northwest Knoxville intersection on his bicycle, officials said.
The boy's name was not released, but E-911 dispatchers said the accident occurred at 4:36 p.m. at the corner of Western Avenue and Sullivan Road.
Upon arrival, officers found the bicyclist in critical condition. He was later pronounced dead at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, Knoxville Police Department Lt. David Powell said.
Dr. Tonya Baker said she and her husband drove up right after the accident and saw a boy lying on the ground with severe head injuries.
Baker said the teen's bicycle was crumpled near a Ryder truck, and the driver appeared distraught. A witness told her the boy was trying to cross Western Avenue on his bicycle and pulled into the path of the truck.
Baker said she didn't initially feel a pulse, but then found a very weak pulse.
"He finally kind of woke up, turned over to his side and started coughing a little bit," she said. "He was still breathing on his own, but his pulse gradually got weaker. We were losing him."
Fire crews arrived and began working on the teen. Baker and her husband left because they had a child in their vehicle.
The name of the truck driver wasn't immediately available.
More details as they develop online and in Saturday's News Sentinel.

Re: nvidia 8800gts dual card, triple monitor issue
OK - I've not fixed it to my liking, but it's now working automatically as one would expect.
Basically after trying to get the nvidia module loaded at boot up, I added to the /etc/modules file and noted the existence of a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ (nvidia-common-...something or other) - so rebooted after a modprobe nvidia and depmod -a in the expectation that this would work cleanly. Unfortunately it made no difference, so it is likely the file in modprobe.d isn't correct.
To get it working now (so every reboot doesn't annoy the hell out of me!) I simply added a script in /etc/init.d/ that does a direct "modprobe -i nvidia", which 'fixes' the issue in as much as it will automatically load X correctly first time. However I don't feel this is the best way to do this - can someone point me in the right direction on this - I thought I was on the right track with the modprobe.d scripts, but as it didn't work, I could do with some guidance. (n.b. I'm using ubuntu ff)

Monster PowerLine 300, 8ft High Performance is great!
I just got a Monster PowerLine 300, 8ft High Performance AV power cable. I connected to the back of my 1.1K PSU on my HP Blackbird 002 and man, all I can say is that it's better then the prior psu cable I was using. It cleans the picture and sound to where I use to hear pops and cracks and static but now I don't. Infact, the sound quality is even more clearer and the picture quality is more cleaner, colorful and richer then before. This is my experience!
Features and benefits:
For True Audiophile AV Performance,
You Need an Audiophile Quality AC Power Cord Most discriminating audiophiles know that a detachable IEC power cord can affect a system's performance. Your components can't deliver the best possible sound and picture when AC power is transferred by an inferior cord. Ordinary power cords can experience current loss and are vulnerable to radio frequency and electromagnetic interference.
Introducing Monster's PowerLine 300 Advanced IEC Power Cord
To Maximize Home Theater and AV Component Performance End to end, PowerLine 300 utilizes leading edge technologies and design to achieve the best possible performance from your home theater or critical listening system. PowerLine 300 delivers efficiency, accuracy and maximum power. It combats performance-degrading RF interference, and the EM interference that's generated by various household appliances, even adjacent components through their power lines and interconnects.
PowerLine 300 Delivers Four Times More Power for Better Sound and Picture
PowerLine 300 is designed with 261 strands of ultra-high purity copper in each of its three conductors, so you get 4 times more cable than ordinary power cords. With so much stranding, it's flexible enough to route through cabinets, yet heavy enough to minimize resistance and maximize power transfer. It all adds up to greater visual and sonic clarity from all your AV sources. Clearer highs with rich, deep bass and cleaner, brighter video—an overall enhanced experience.
Xtra Low Noise Technologies Keep Your Power Transfer Interference-Free
To safeguard against RF and EM interference from external and internal sources, PowerLine 300 features a unique double shield plus a double-molded termination. Two isolated layers of shielding and a full coverage mylar foil fend off external RF interference, while a tightly woven copper braid protects against EM interference. These are separated by a high-density dielectric. A drain wire connects the shield to the AC source ground, sending accumulated noise back to the wall plug, lowering the overall noise floor. What's more, Monster's precision 24k gold contact plug resists corrosion and maximizes power transfer.
Enhance Your Audio/Video Experience with Monster PowerLine 300 Your AV
system requires a high performance power connection. PowerLine 300 makes it possible to get all the performance you paid for!

Go here for another one of the world's great atheist contributions to world culture…
Atheism's Accomplisments
Related posts from Standing on my Head:

Some idiot's painted an old man with a beard over the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Gee, why can't people just respect history?
- DrDJ
Ooh. I seem to have touched a nerve…
There is nothing man-made that you consider "inspired" or "miraculous" that isn't the result of human effort executing a plan of the human mind. If your christian god motivated Michelangelo's brush strokes here, perhaps the muslim god guided the designers and workers here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taj_Mahal . Or perhaps zeus here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Zeus_at_Olympia .
It's all a question of who's willing to foot the bill for what we consider "works of art." In the west, from about 1100 to 1800, that was the christian church. Then ask yourself how they came up with the funds for these works.
This is the same church that gave us the horrors of the Inquisition, Jew-destroying pogroms, the Thirty-Years War, subjugation of women, an AIDS epidemic (since condoms are evil), and child-raping priests. A pretty hefty price to pay!
Ah, but then think of the non-theistic wonders of our western world today. Clean water at the twist of a tap. Electrical power at the flick of a switch. The ability to telephone Aunt Mildred from nearly anywhere with your cell phone. An expectation to live longer than 35 years. The ability to think clearly without some overseeing priest telling us what's right and wrong.
That's pretty inspirational!
- Ed
I recognized the music instantly. Palestrina was an atheist …? Perhaps a point is being made more subtly than my old brain can fathom.
- Jim
Hello Doctor
Do you have any evidence of 'the horrors of the Inquisition'? Particularly in the context of Protestant Europe at the time or of athiest governments of the 20th century. I have numbers and contexts for Spain and would be delighted to review my data with yours.
Then we can take your list in sequence. Particularly your claim that 'the church' was responsible for your chosen events.
I note that you ask 'how they came up with the funds for these works'. I know the answer to this question. Do you?
- SKay
Thank you for the beautiful picture, Father.

What kind of a doctor are you? A very ignorant one I think. You need to brush up on your facts.

" horrors of the Inquisition, Jew-destroying pogroms, the Thirty-Years War, subjugation of women, etc …./.." dear me, what do they teach them at these schools? Probably not your fault, why shouldn't you repeat the easy ones, some mug'll rise t' the bait?
But from an MD?: the catholic church gave us an aids epidemic.I should thank you for enlightening me? You got shares in companies that make rubberjohnnies(uk)/aka rubbers (USA)? You're a doctor of what exactly? Divinity? Philosophy? I wa s hearing that aids was a conspiracy introduced by/under "reagan and the religious right " to drive the "bath-houses" out of business a nd "get" homosexuals propably before you were so much as thought of.
Come off it.

The atheists just don't, and won't, get it!
Mankind's greatest achievements in art and beauty have been accomplished by Christendom.
But perhaps even more chilling is to ask the question "How many atheist hospitals for lepers have been built? How many humanist hospitals for the deaf and blind have been built?
The only "medical" work that the humanists and atheists specialise in is contraception, abortion and euthanasia. They are supreme masters at that – the culture of death.
If you want to see the artistic contributions of the anti Christian cultures look at Hitler's Germany, Stalinist Russia, and Mao's China. Each of these societies butchered as many artists as they could, burnt books and exalted the art of Nietzsche's Superman.

"Mankind's greatest achievements in art and beauty have been accomplished by Christendom."
I disagree with your assertion.

Yes, it is one of the treasures of mankind.
Created by an atheist artist and paid for by the church.

Anyone else notice how Michelangelo painted god inside a human brain? Food for thought.
- Fr. Dwight Longenecker
Anyone else notice how similar it is for atheists to see God painted inside a human brain in the Sistine Chapel to Catholics seeing Mother Teresa's face in a bagel or Our Lady of Guadalupe in a tree trunk?
- http://twitter.com/mickskeptic McSkeptic
A mind is a mind; an atheist's mind can be deceived the same as a theist's into seeing what does not exist, however, IMO and experience, they are much less likely to actually believe that Michelangelo painted God inside a human brain on purpose, than theists believe an image of Mother Teresa's face in a bagel is a miracle. A grilled cheese sandwich is a grilled cheese sandwich whether it has the image of Jesus or Elvis toasted into it. The only real value is in eating it, or whatever it will bring on eBay, in which case, said grilled cheese might buy a mighty fine dinner at a four star restaurant.

"Mankind's greatest achievements in art and beauty have been accomplished by Christendom."
That is cultural-religious bias speaking, nothing more, with a good bit of Euro-Centrism thrown in.
- Fr. Dwight Longenecker
It is better for us theists to assert that all the greatest accomplishments of art and beauty have been achieved through and because of man's innate religious instinct. The great temples and works of art and literature in every culture are the product of religion. I am not sure what great art or architecture has been produced by atheist cultures, but I am happy to consider any suggestions.
When considering the accomplishments of Christendom it is easy to look only at the great Cathedrals, the magnificent works of art and music and literature. All these accomplishments are only the fruit of other, more profound accomplishments that affect all of us every day.
Just to name a few: 1. the educational system of the university came from the Christian culture of the Middle Ages. 2. The system of written law, trial, judge, jury, lawyers for the defense and prosecution developed from the ecclesiastical courts of the Middle Ages. 3. Musical notation was first developed by the monks in the Middle Ages as a way to standardize their music in worship. The composers and music we now take for granted would not have developed without notation first having been created. 4. The scientific method was first developed as a way to conduct theological disputes and then developed as a way to make valid medical discoveries in the universities and medical schools of the Middle Ages. Consequently, the entire modern Western medical establishment was built on these foundations. 5.Inventions and technology were only considered possible because of the theological understanding of free will–that man was not predetermined in a fatalistic universe to simply react to his surroundings. Instead the Christian theology of free will and personal responsibility empowered individuals to take charge, study, think, question and invent machines and technologies and techniques to change the world they live in. Of course other cultures made technological advances too and inventing things is something humans do, but a strong argument can be made that the technological advances seen in the Western Christian culture have their roots in a particular worldview that enables and encourages such advancement.
These accomplishments, and others, were possible because of the philosophical mindset and worldview established by the predominance of Christian theology which was universal in Europe during the early Middle Ages. I would not deny that particular individuals who are atheists have made great achievements in their fields of endeavor, but the philosophical foundations for their capabilities are essentially part of the Christian worldview on which our culture is founded.

I'm not questioning the role of religion/spirituality in art, only that to say that art inspired by Christianity is not higher and finer than any other. To say so is simply cultural bias.
Unlike religion, atheism is a lonely pursuit, it is not an organization that funds, endows or otherwise supports the arts; I would hazard a guess that individual atheists are as giving as their religious counterparts. A person can be both a member of a church and an atheist; for those living in Western societies only in the last hundred years or so is it acceptable to openly call oneself an atheist; before that one would be ostracized, persecuted, even put to death for professing to be a non-believer. To think that a great artist had to be a believer to be inspired by the Gospel or any other religious texts is a quite narrow view.
Countries like the former USSR, while officially atheist, only replaced religion with a cult of personality. It wasn't religion they were against specifically, it was the power of organized religion that presented a threat to the government's hold on power.
- http://twitter.com/mickskeptic McSkeptic
veritas, you seem to be blinded by your emotions. Can we tone down the over-the-top rhetoric, please?
Atheism isn't an organization, it's an individual choice and simply means non-believing. You might as well ask "Where are all the vegetarian hospitals?" Without atheist scientists making discovery after discovery in medical science and technology, where would those Christian-built hospitals be? Probably still guessing what's going on inside someone instead of having an array of high-tech diagnostic tools at the ready.
I'd be careful about bringing Hitler into this discussion… he was Catholic, BTW, and the jury is still out on the Church's role during the war. http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/08/23/list-of-hitler-quotes-he-was-q/
- Fr. Dwight Longenecker
You should not be deceived. Communist Russia was officially and aggressively atheist–not just against organized religion and it's power. You only need to read Marx and Lenin to realize that atheism was the cornerstone of their revolution, and the horrors of Stalinism was it's fruit.
- http://twitter.com/mickskeptic McSkeptic
Fr. Dwight,
Yes, horrible acts have been committed by officially atheist regimes, but, then again, horrible acts have also been committed by officially regimes, including those that were Catholic or other Christian sects, whether officially or by association. Atheism is not a dogma, the acts carried out by atheist tyrants were not committed in the name of atheism — atheism is non-belief, nothing more. If atheism was the cornerstone of the revolution, then Marx, Lenin, et al, had a very poor grasp of the concept of atheism. Those atrocities committed by religious tyrants were, again, by those with a poor, or very skewed, grasp of whatever dogma/tenets the acts were carried out in name of.
The atheism of Marx and Lenin was not really atheism, it was anti-religion. As it was carried out, it was not specifically anti-religion, it was anti-anything that threatened Russian dictators' hold on power. What greater threat to power than an institution that had a hand in virtually every part of society, as the Russian/Eastern Orthodox Church had in Russia/Eastern Europe before the revolution? No dictatorship tolerates competition; recent history and the present-day are full of examples proving that basic truth.
Of course, the USSR and other communist countries mandated atheism. That may be possible as an official policy, but in practical terms has no more sway over an individual than a religion has on an individual's spirituality, i.e., the old "ask seven rabbis a question and you'll get seven different answers" joke. (the same with priests I assume).
Can we agree to say that any horrible acts committed, whether by atheists or theists, were ordered and carried out by psychopathic or severely misguided individuals, and those under their sway, not under the name of belief or non-belief? Guilt-by-association is not a good path to walk down, for either atheists or theists. It doesn't add to the conversation, it doesn't encourage dialog, it doesn't make friends of those on the opposing sides. And while it is stimulating to debate our differences, the only way we will make progress with any of the world's problems is by discussing what we have in common, what we can work together on. Everything else is a distraction, entertainment.
- Fr. Dwight Longenecker
I'm sorry we can't agree on this. Atheism as a philosophy is at the root of communism and therefore at the root of the Soviet revolution and all its horrors. This was not simply anti-religionism or a quest for power and the need to root out other power sources. This long article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism_and_atheism
shows how Marx was specifically against not just religious institutions, but against the whole concept of the supernatural, the existence of God, prayer or worship in any way. Marx considered it to be sub human and that it needed to be rooted out–not just because of the power struggle, but because of belief in God per se. Furthermore, I am not sure that the defense of the soviet communists as being psychopathic or severely misguided really stands up. Marx, Lenin, Engels and following in their philosophy–Stalin and Mao–were completely sane. They were intellectuals who had clear and articulated philosophies and a clear and well planned method for carrying out their plans. These are not insane psychopaths, but intelligent and cogent men who believe a certain philosophy and carry it through. At the core of their philosophy and necessary to their philosophy is atheism.
In saying this, I am happy to admit that it is not necessary for all atheists to be communists and I am certainly happy to admit that all atheists are not genocidal. However, I cannot escape the reality that atheism (and not just anti-religionism) as a philosophy was fundamental and necessary to the philosophy of Marxism and its human consequences.
- http://twitter.com/mickskeptic McSkeptic
You can disagree with atheists who post here, or speak out anywhere, however, it is as patently unfair to casually associate the "atheism" of Marx, etc., with present-day atheism as practiced (if you can call non-belief "practice") by the vast majority of atheists, North Korea (who worship their leader as a god-like figure) and China (who have their own immense set of societal issues to deal with) notwithstanding. It is being disingenuous. I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish by doing so. It's certainly not to engage us.
"These are not insane psychopaths, but intelligent and cogent men"
Psychopathy, intelligence and cogency are not mutually exclusive; intelligence and the ability to offer logical, convincing arguments are quite often character traits of the psychopath. That's what make them so dangerous. To classify that as sanity is, well… crazy.

Atheism is so much more than just non-belief in a god or gods. It puts you on a path that is intellectually, emotionally, and philosophically incompatible in many aspects with those who are theistic. Atheism and the many philosophical and moral paths which non-believers take are really no different than christianity and the thousands of different church paths that christians take. Each has a basic belief or 'religion' at it's core that naturally includes and precludes a multitude of ways of believing or thinking.
It is a great desire of mine that our society and the courts will come to recognize that the new atheism is just another evangelical religious school of thought so we can keep it in it's proper place along with every other religion. What we are heading to now, led by the freedom from religion type new atheists, is a default state religion of atheism. The more that new atheists continue down their path of evangelization and organization the faster there will be enough evidence to argue their religious status in court.
- Oregon Catholic
Psychopathy or sociopathy is not insanity as our psychiatric and legal system will point out. You're getting psychotic confused with psychopath.
- http://twitter.com/mickskeptic McSkeptic
I understand your point Oregon Catholic. That does not change the fact that psychopaths are not right in the brain, maybe not legally insane — they know right from wrong — it's just that they can easily twist the definitions of right and wrong to mean whatever they want they want them to mean, all others be damned. Certainly that's something that all humans are capable of, but 99.97% of us have a governor that keeps us from excess in that regard. And if anyone believe that only atheists can become psychopathic mass murderers, they are dead wrong. Maybe the legal definition of insane needs to be updated; after all, any legal or medical definitions are only arrived at after extensive debate and compromise, they are not absolute and you can bet that many experts disagree with whatever definitions are chosen.
- http://twitter.com/mickskeptic McSkeptic
BTW, it was Fr. Dwight who the first made the psychopath/insanity connection with "These are not insane psychopaths, but intelligent and cogent men," I was simple taking exception to that statement. Perhaps you will criticize him, as well?
- http://twitter.com/mickskeptic McSkeptic
Atheism is non-belief, period. You want to make it more, perhaps because you're not secure enough in your own beliefs.
No US court has ever ruled on the validity of any religion, except as it pertains to to tax law, and you expect a court to rule atheism a religion? Atheism is not a religion, it is more akin to spirituality, it is personal. How many definitions of spirituality are there? That's easy. What's the current world population of believers? Actually, even some atheists consider themselves as spiritual.
It is not atheism keeping religion out of schools or other government, it is Christianity. Atheists are fine with representations of ALL religions, along with agnosticism/atheism, in the public arena. They are not OK with Christianity being placed on a pedestal above all others. In court case-after court case, the ACLU has argued, on behalf of all Americans, that the 10 Commandants on public display are just fine, as long as you allow equal billing for all other several hundred, maybe thousands of, religions. If Louisiana passes a law (as they did) that provides funds to private schools, including religious ones, it is not atheists crying out when they find out that applies to Islamic schools as well as Christian, it is Christian lawmakers who voted for the law and who thought "religious" is synonymous with "Christian." What a rude, and poetic-justice-serving, awakening!
Morality predates all religion, that is why there are universal morals across a broad swath. of religions and cultures. If you can't see a common bridge between theist and non-theists, you have only yourself to blame.
- Fr. Dwight Longenecker
Not true. Madeleine Murray O'Hare was a noted atheist campaigner against prayer in schools.
- Fr. Dwight Longenecker
Perhaps you would agree that that there are two forms of atheism. The sort you argue for which you call 'non-belief' is neutral, passive and inoffensive. However, there is also a form of aggressive atheism which actively attacks any religious idea or institution. To deny that there is this form of atheism–both in history and at present– is being untruthful.
I can understand that there are militant atheists and I understand their motivation. What I don't understand is someone like yourself who claims to simply be a 'non believer' who bothers to come to this blog and argue. If you come to a Catholic blog to argue surely you are in the category of active atheist, and if active, then not simply a 'non believer'.

For illumination, few informative links about atheism/atheists:
- Oregon Catholic
I think there are psychopaths who are born that way – neurologically they are lacking something the rest of us have. I think there are psychopaths who are probably made so by traumatic experiences as childen that shuts down or damages that something. And I think there are people who can make themselves into psychopaths – one of the characteristics is amorality – especially those that give way to evil. It's important to note that not all psychopaths do harm to others in a 'violent' way. It is theorized that many successful Wall Street types and politicians are 'successful' psychopaths – one of the characteristics also being an assumed charisma even though emotionally they are empty.
I would say nihilists are psychopaths, whether they harm others or not, and nihilists are largely self-made, not born. So yes, I think atheism can lead one along a trajectory to psychopathic behavior, far more so than a theist simply by virtue of the philosophies more common to atheists.
- Oregon Catholic
No, I understood that what he was saying without actually saying it is there are sane psychopaths and insane psychopaths although the latter would also be psychotic. He can correct me if I misunderstood his meaning.
- Oregon Catholic
I can accept atheism being defined as spiritual. But it is also religious by this definition:
noun – a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe,
Any set of beliefs that rests on a foundation which rejects god or gods as an explanation for the cause, nature and purpose of the universe is still a religion in the broad definition of religion. The definition of religion doesn't require a belief in god any more than spirituality requires a belief in a god created soul.
I think all we need to have it declared a religion is a tax exempt organization defined as atheist (I think a charity already exists according to something I read on the friendly atheist – check), the right case in which atheist(s) either advocate for a removal of all religious expression/influence or insist on inclusion along with other religious expression, e.g., such as rotating religious prayers in a school or inclusion in lotteries to post on religious billboards- check, and an advocacy group willing to take on that fight in court. It will happen eventually with the right case, the right advocate, and the right judge. The legal argument (inelegantly) being something like: if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Re: angkor wat to surin
Maybe I can help a little. I went to Prohm Kel from Siem Reap in March. It is on NH68 about 40 km north of Kralanh (which is on NH6). The road is under construction and it looks like it will eventually be as wide as an interstate highway in the USA. I think it is planned to be a major connecting highway to Thailand. I did not go that far north, but NH68 meets NH69 in Samraong. There is supposed to be an existing international checkpoint at the border with Thailand. I'll e-mail you the map that I found when I was researching Prohm Kel. From the border I think you would take Hwy214 to Surin. One option for you might be to hire a car in Siem Reap to take you to the border and hire Mr. Pirom (Pirom Guest House in Surin) to meet you there to take you to Surin. BTW, it took an hour to get from Siem Reap to Kralanh and a little less than two hours to get to Prohm Kel.

STEP 1- Obtaining a Form I-20/Form DS-2019 (Certificate of Eligibility) from Brandeis University
After being accepted to Brandeis University, you must complete the Brandeis International Business School (IBS) Visa Information/Declaration of Finances (VIDOF). The purpose of the VIDOF is to assist us in collecting information necessary to issue a Form I-20 or Form DS-2019 (Certificate of Eligibility). All incoming students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents must be issued either a Form I-20 (to apply for an F-1 student visa stamp) or a Form DS-2019 to apply for a J-1 student visa stamp at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate outside of the United States.
After an offer of admission is made, international students must complete and electronically submit the Brandeis IBS VIDOF. International students must also provide all required supporting documentation as specified on the VIDOF to the Brandeis IBS Office of Admissions.
All supporting documents must be scanned and emailed to email@example.com or mailed to:
Brandeis International Business School
Mail Stop - MA 032
Sachar International Center
Brandeis University
415 South Street
Waltham, MA 02453-9110, USA
STEP 2- Paying the SEVIS Fee
Information regarding paying the required SEVIS fee will be provided to you at the time you receive the Brandeis Form I-20 or Form DS-2019. Information regarding the SEVIS fee requirement is also available on the ISSO website.
STEP 3- Applying for your U.S. Visa
As soon as you receive the Form I-20 or DS-2019, please schedule an appointment at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate immediately. Information regarding applying for your U.S. visa will be provided to you when you receive the Form I-20 or Form DS-2019 from ISSO. Information regarding applying or your U.S. visa is also available on the ISSO website. Other websites are also available as a resource for learning more about student visas.
If you are denied a U.S. visa, please contact ISSO with detailed information about your visa denial.
Important Note:
You will not be eligible to begin your classes at Brandeis IBS if you enter the U.S. with a Visitor's Visa (B-1 or B-2 status) or on the Visa Waiver Program. Should you enter the U.S. on the B-1/B-2 or through the Visa Waiver Program, you will be required to leave the U.S. and re-enter on the appropriate student or exchange visitor visa. Individuals currently in the U.S. on a B-1/B-2 visa should contact ISSO with additional questions.
Transfer Student Issues and Procedures
A transfer of your SEVIS record requires communication between your current institution and the Brandeis ISSO. In order to create a seamless transition of your record, please inform ISSO of your current visa status when you submit the Brandeis IBS VIDOF.
A SEVIS transfer refers to one of these three scenarios:
- International students currently in the U.S. attending another institution (transferring to IBS from either an undergraduate program or another graduate program).
- International students currently in the U.S. on F-1 Optional Practical Training prior to beginning a program at Brandeis IBS.
- International students attending a summer program (i.e. English language program) in the U.S. prior to coming to Brandeis University.
- Students transferring their SEVIS records to Brandeis will need to submit the Brandeis IBS Transfer-In Verification form. This form must be completed by both you and the International Student Advisor at your current institution. The form is available on the ISSO website.
We recommend that you make an appointment with your current International Student Advisor to discuss your intent to transfer and to select an appropriate SEVIS release date.
Additional information regarding transferring SEVIS records to Brandeis University can be found on the ISSO website.

The S110 Nissan Silvia, sold in the United States as the Datsun 200SX for the 1979 through 1983 model years, has all but disappeared from American roads by now. We've seen a couple of the S110's successor, the S12, in this series: this '86 200SX and this '86 200SX Turbo, and that's it. Late last week, I spotted this faded but unrusty two-tone '81 at a Northern California wrecking yard. Read More >
Category: Down On The Junkyard
A couple of years have passed since the last Manny, Moe, and Jack Edition Junkyard Find, so we're due for another car that was customized with every manner of stick-on hood scoop, property-value-lowering vinyl decal, and brightly-colored interior-trim piece that can be had at your local auto-parts chain store. Here's a fourth-gen Toyota Tercel done up as a shoestring-budget Fast-n-Furious-type machine. Read More >
Plenty of Mazda B-Series pickups were sold in the United States, mostly badged as Ford Couriers, but starting in 1983 (when the Ranger appeared) your only choice for obtaining one of these cheap-and-simple little trucks was your Mazda dealer. I spotted this somewhat rusty '84 in a Denver wrecking yard on Saturday, and it looked like it still had some good miles left in it. Read More >
I went back to Martin's Salvage, located midway between Denver and Cheyenne, earlier this week. The last time I'd been there was in 2011, and the place is still full of so many staggeringly great 1930-1970 vehicles that I get overwhelmed and can't shoot individual cars for this series. This trip, though, I held still long enough to shoot this crazy-rare example from the final years of the Rambler marque. Read More >
Will the steady procession of Fiat 124 Spiders into America's self-service wrecking yards never cease? So far in this series, we've seen this '71, this '73, this '75, this '76, this '78, this '80, this '80, and now yet another sporty little Fiat from the Malaisiest year of them all. Here's a beat-up but not hopeless example I spotted in Northern California. Read More >
When I visited Southern California back in December, I hit the jackpot with interesting junkyard cars to photograph. In addition to stuff I haven't shared yet, there was this fully-loaded '82 Subaru BRAT, John DeLorean's weird rope-drive Tempest with 540-lb four-banger, this rust-free '84 Cressida, and this '51 Plymouth Cranbrook. The self-service yard that had the '51 Plymouth also had today's Junkyard Find, which tells you a lot about how spoiled Los Angeles car freaks are. Read More >
With the '01 Saturn L200 yesterday and the '01 Pontiac Aztek the day before that, we're having a 21st Century Junkyard Find week. I'll continue that with today's find: Dodge's high-performance version of the second-gen Dodge Intrepid: The Intrepid R/T. Read More >
Saturn needed some new models by the late 1990s, and so GM spent a billion or so bucks to make an Americanized, plastic-bodied Opel Vectra and called it the L-Series. The L, which went through a bewildering series of model-name changes during its 2000-2005 production run, never sold very well and more or less sank without a trace. That makes it historically interesting, in sort of a run-up-to-the-bankruptcy way, much like the 2001 Pontiac Aztek Junkyard Find we saw yesterday. Yes, we're having 21st Century Junkyard Find Week! Read More >
It takes a lot for a 21st-century vehicle to make it into this series, and the Pontiac Aztek has no problem qualifying. Here in Denver, you see Azteks all over the place, presumably because they make sense for the outdoorsy lifestyle that's so big here (you also see a lot of Vanagon Syncros, presumably because there are lots of masochists here). That means that they're going to break something not worth fixing and show up at the local self-serve wrecking yard, and I will photograph them. Today's Junkyard Find Aztek is in excellent condition and appears to have every single option available when new, from heads-up display to air-mattress-inflation compressor. Let's check it out. Read More >
In one of those confusing branding moves that's up there with the baffling Toyota Corolla Tercel, Ford decided to name a Torino-based midsize car the LTD II while keeping the regular full-sized LTD. This went on for the 1977 and 1978 model years, and then for 1979 the "big" LTD went to the Panther platform and sold alongside LTD IIs for that year. Why? Well, that's like asking why Henry Ford II refused Soichiro Honda's offer of cheap CVCC engines for the Fiesta a few years before! Anyway, here's an extremely green first-year LTD II wagon (not a Country Squire, which was based on the larger "regular" LTD) that I spotted in Northern California a couple weeks back. Read More >

Modern Romance
"The show is just a full-blown celebration of all things mod, retro and mid-century," says Denver Modernism Show organizer Dana Cain. "It's a huge, mod, mid-century lovefest." And there will be a lot to love at the show, which runs today through Sunday. The National Western Complex will be filled with vintage mid-century design, as well as current modern design celebrating that style, by everyone from local unknowns to the California-based, Warhol-influenced Josh Agle (aka Shag).
In addition to design displays, the three-day event will feature today's Miss Modernism Pageant, the Motorama Car Show on Sunday, an after-hours tour of Casa Bonita and Lakeside Amusement Park, and more. "My main hope is that everybody has a fantastic time and finds something there that they absolutely love and can't live without," says Cain. "There's something for everybody, and you can literally go out there and spend $5 on something amazing or $5,000 on something amazing."
And if you're not in a buying mood, you can still just see something amazing for the cost of an $8, one-day ticket. The National Western is at 4655 Humboldt Street; doors to the Modernism Show open at 6 p.m. tonight (tickets are $20 for this preview evening, which includes three-day show admission), 10 a.m. tomorrow and 11 a.m. Sunday.
