PROVIDENCE (December 26, 2007) 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason Big Six Estrada battles former world heavyweight title challenger Charles Shufford and WBC Youth featherweight champion Manuel Perez defends his title against Matt Sharp Shooter Remillard in co-main events on Champions of Tomorrow, January 25 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut..
Champions of Tomorrow, promoted by Jimmy Burchfields Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc., will be taped live and air on Saturday, February 2 at 7:30 p.m. on CN8 and will also stream online at www.CN8.tv. Following the broadcast, the show will be available ON DEMAND to Comcast Digital Cable customers for at least one week. Champions of Tomorrow will also air on Cox Sports Television on dates and times to soon be announced.
Estrada (10-1, 2 KOs), the Providence native now rated No. 10 in the NABO, is coming off of his most impressive victory as a professional, when he put former NABC and NABC Americas heavyweight title-holder James Northey (11-2, 8 KOs) to sleep in the fourth round of their October 12 fight.
Las Vegas-based Shufford (20-7-1, 9 KOs), who fought Wladimir Klitschko for the WBO in 2001, holds victories against former world champion Lamon Brewster, Elieser Castillo and Jimmy Thunder.
Perez (11-3, 2 KOs) fighting out of Denver by way of Honolulu, captured the WBC Youth title in his last fight on November 10 via a unanimous 10-round decision against Victor Barela. Manchester (CT) favorite Remillard (11-0, 7 KOs) has been inactive since suffering a hand injury that required surgery after he won the WBC Youth super featherweight on September 23, 2006.
Were excited to be back at Foxwoods showcasing some of the top young prospects in boxing in their stiffest tests to date, promoter Jimmy Burchfield said. Olympian Jason Estrada is ready to make some big noise in the heavyweight division and hes starting off the year against a former world title challenger, Charles Shufford, Our other co-main event features the return of local hero
Matt Remillard, who is a true throwback type of boxer, fights WBC Youth super featherweight champion Manuel Perez in what promises to be an action-packed bout. The undercard has a host of tomorrows champions and some other great fights.
Unbeaten cruiserweight prodigy, 9-time U.S. amateur champion Awesome Aaron Williams (15-0-1, 11 KOs), returns to the scene of his most memorable knockout to date in a picture-perfect stoppage of DeLeon Tingsley, who recently upset previously unbeaten Alfredo Escalera, Jr., in the second round of their June 20th fight at Foxwoods.
A much-anticipated New England light heavyweight showdown between Iraqi War-veteran Chris Traietti (7-0, 4 KOs) and Irish Joey McCreedy (5-1, 4 KOs) will take place in a scheduled 6-round bout. Middleweights Richard Bobo Starnino (8-2-1, 1 KO), of Providence, and New Bedfords Eric Pinarreta (1-1, 1 KO) will meet in an old fashioned border war.

Recent University of Connecticut graduate Brian Macy, a card dealer at Foxwoods who lives in Ledyard, makes his pro debut against Donyell Dukes (0-4). Macy started boxing at 10 and posted a 125-25 amateur record, including a Gold Medal performance in the 2000 National PAL Championships at 165 pounds, as well as a Silver Medal in the National Junior Olympics.

Byhappy birthda to me
02 febrero 2015
We decided to celebrate my 74th birthday by visiting Eilat. We stayed in room 909 on January 28th. The room was very satisfactory in every way but the outstanding feature by far was the view of the marina from our balcony especially at night. Also we highly recommend a day at the aquarium which is easily reached by public transportation. Oh and I suppose it was because we are rewards club members but thank you for the chocolates
Good place for New Year in Eilat
11 enero 2015
I will start with the criticisms first. The hotel has seen better days, and seemed to be in the middle of building works in the public areas. Fair point that this needs to be done, but for people wanting to take advantage of all the services the could warn you.
So the lifts were noisy, broke down and set of alarms all the time. The bathroom in my suit had cracked fittings, and the balcony had tiles missing or severely damaged.
On the plus side, the staff made up for it a lot. The room itself was comfortable, and the ac worked which is always a plus from me.
As a recommendation to the property, get the small stuff fixed. Broken doors and bathrooms with damaged china do not add to the ambience. Second segment out the bar area and open it later. Simply putting up some dry wall around two sides would give it a more cosy ambience and persuade more people to stay and use it.
All in all the stay did what I wanted, 5 days decompression from the rat race. It really is well located in the marina area, amidst all the cafe's and nightlife offered there. So I give this a recommend. But spend some money on it.
Great vacation
03 enero 2015
My wife and I went for a short vacation. We got a nice upgrade and the view was beautiful. It was a little noisy at night but other than that we had a great time.
Thank you!
Dirty Facilities
01 diciembre 2014
Upon arrival, I found that my sheets were dirty and had not been changed appropriately.
In addition, the stair hallways and the pool area were littered and dirty.
I was appalled by this situation.
The infrastructure and the hotel is horribly lacking in upkeep. The showers leak, the doors slammed, the locks did not work well, and paint was cracking and peeling.
Terrible disturbances from the neighboring rooms that were not dealt with appropriately thus awakening me numerous times during my naps and at night while sleeping.
I will never go back to this hotel!!!

Tommy Lasorda Delivers In Classic Interview With Boomer & Carton
Lasorda, all sorts of fired up, was an in-studio guest on the "Boomer & Carton" show Thursday morning — and he was fantastic.
Keidel: By Not Starting Tebow, Jets Punt What's Left Of Their Goodwill And Luster
The decision to start Sanchez isn't about Tebow, of course. It's about the Jets, as always, and their penchant for punting all the goodwill and luster that they muster. And that's because they do almost everything for the wrong reason every season.
Schwartz: I'll Take Fireman Ed's Job
Peter Schwartz knows exactly who should fill Fireman Ed's shoes — himself.
Keidel: Jets Should Jettison The Sanchise
Mark Sanchez can still win in the NFL. He just can't win in New York. Sanchez has been set up to go down for two years.
Joe Namath Rips Jets' Front Office, Focus, Use Of Tebow
Namath delivered another chapter in his ongoing criticism of the Jets, saying the team has "regressed with talent" for the past two to three years under GM Mike Tannenbaum.

Jets Retire Dennis Byrd's Number 90
The Jets retired Dennis Byrd's number 90 on Sunday. The fans at MetLife Stadium gave the inspirational Byrd a standing ovation.
Schwartz: Dennis Byrd Will Finally Get The Honor That He Deserves
Byrd's triumph over tragedy will take center stage this Sunday when his No. 90 jersey is retired at halftime of the Jets-Dolphins game at MetLife Stadium. The painful memories of that fateful December Sunday from 20 years ago will surely come to mind.
Silverman: Unitas' Record Is Certain To Fall, But His Legacy Will Remain Intact
Drew Brees would probably be among the first to tell you that he will never erase Unitas' legacy. It was Unitas who demonstrated how explosive the passing game could be, and he changed pro football forever.
Dyer: Wake Up, Jets Fans — Sanchez Can Be Effective, But He'll Never Be Elite
He isn't the "Sanchise." It is something that Jets fans need to come to grips with; the reality that now in his fourth year, quarterback Mark Sanchez isn't going to be the second coming of Joe Namath.
Keidel: Want That Lombardi Trophy, Jets Fans? Sanchez Must Be The 'Sanchize'
Mark Sanchez has many years left in the league, but he has this year to prove that his first two years were more representative than the last two. Another 8-8 season could cement his fate as a second or third-tier quarterback.
Schwartz: A Look At 'The Faces Of Tim Tebow'
Now that I have the NFL Network (thank you, Cablevision), I've been able to sink my teeth into all of the great programming they have to offer. Jets fans, don't miss this show Wednesday night.

By Alex Kierkegaard / September 25, 2012
Alright, I've had it with this shit. If you are finally getting an icycalm review of Devil May Cry 3, you have the Scathing Accuracy guys to thank for it, with their "DMC3 this and that" spiel in every other 3D action game review, as if the goddamn thing were some kind of paragon example of the genre, instead of an instantly forgettable semi-hackjob that's not even worth mentioning. I mean seriously, if not for the absurd amount of hype that surrounds the game I'd have been perfectly content dispatching it with a one-paragraph mini review — that's how insignificant and utterly forgettable it is. So gather round once more, you pack of braindead autistic hypocrites, and pay attention to how a real human — an aesthetically sensitive, fully-grown and fully-developed human and videogame lover — thinks about and evaluates games.
I went through DMC3 in my tiny Tokyo apartment, while I was still living in Japan, over the span of a couple of nights circa 2005-2006 (the exact dates escape me). Roughly half-way through the game (or perhaps three-quarters of the game through or something; like I said, it's been 6 or 7 years...), where it takes you into a hub-type area and throws all of the previous bosses at you one after another, I nearly threw the controller in disgust and gave up on the game. After a short break to recharge my bullshit-toleration meter, I picked up the controller again, and with a sigh along the lines of "What the hell, at least I am playing a Devil May Cry game", went on to finish it and put it out of my mind forever (with short relapses of roof-hitting whenever I'd come across someone praising it)... until now.
Fun factoid time: Did you know that DMC3's director is the same dude who directed DMC2? The same dude whom Itagaki was making fun of in one of those hilarious interviews he gives from time to time? The same dude who also directed DMC4? Essentially, the same dude we have to thank for the fact that Capcom lost the mantle of the 3D action genre to Tecmo, and never took it back, to finally give up on the series to such an extent that they ended up throwing it to a bunch of clueless English losers? They took the game away from Kamiya to give it to this Itsuno hack, then they took it from Itsuno to give it to the English yobs, and I am fully expecting them to take it from the English yobs one of these days and give it to Derek Yu or Jason Rohrer lol.
But anyway, let's set aside the mud-slinging for now and focus on ripping this game a new one. What's wrong with DMC3 is basically everything except the battle system (90+% of which was anyway inherited from Kamiya...), with the main offenders being stage design, pacing and setting, art design and to a lesser extent graphics, and ultimately even enemy and boss design, and even the difficulty level to an extent. The stage- and environment-design is atrocious: gone are the original's crumbling, overgrown courtyards, colorful hallways, sun-pierced rooms and sharply distinct in- and outdoor areas — all unique and splendidly designed, each with carefully studied camera angles to match—; the entirety of DMC3 feels as if it's taking place inside a series of drab, colorless copy-paste rooms. I've only really played through DMC once, yet still remember almost every area of the game, whereas 3's entire length has left inside my mind a similar impression to that of some crappy dungeon crawler a la Eye of the Beholder which doesn't even have anything we'd designate by the term "stage progression". And here's where autism rears its ugly, stupid head once more, as the aspies try to defend this utterly unacceptable state of things by arguing that WHO CARES ABOUT THE GRAFIX ITS THE GEAMPLAY THAT MATTER!
O rly? In that case you wouldn't mind if the entire game did, in fact, take place inside a single bare room, with infinite waves of enemies being thrown at you so you can PLAY THE GEAM'S GAEMPLAY forever to your heart's content? A kind of Asteroids- or Robotron May Cry-type game?
But that is how people within the autism spectrum think, not reasonably sensitive, well-developed humans, and it is time we agreed that stage design is a far more important aspect of a game, even an action game — and indeed especially those! — than the battle system, since the main reason we play videogames is to be immersed inside wildly imaginative and strikingly beautiful environments, not to get good at pushing plastic buttons according to the dictates of obscure algorithms. The button-pushing is merely a means of making us more invested in, and thus drawing us deeper into, the game's environment, and when the environment's crap, and the button-pushing is being elevated to the aspect of primary importance, one can safely infer autism and follow one's nose: one will seldom go wrong.
Moving on then, enemy and boss designs — and even boss patterns — are equally unimaginative, and there's absolutely nothing in the entire game like that shape-shifting shadow-cat miniboss, or the spider boss, or the black knight confrontation from DMC1. 3's most memorable and well-designed boss is the very first one you encounter, a multi-headed hydra-like thing, and even he can barely hold a candle to even the lamest of the bosses from the original (I mean seriously). Boss patterns are also pretty lame: the only boss that stumped me at all was again the first one, whom I retried perhaps a dozen or so times, but all the rest could be defeated, either too quickly to even remember how (which segues into the difficulty issue...), or else with some simplistic pattern repeated ad nauseam, as for example with that flying worm/dragon thingie — easily the worst boss battle in the game, and one that felt as if it'd dragged on endlessly for hours.
The enemies, on the other hand, are your standard assortment of DMC-type marionettes, none of which have left any impression on me after all these years. At least in the original I can remember some hell hound-type monsters attacking me at some point, for variety's sake, but here I've got no such impressions. What's worse is that the fights against them seem to drag on forever, way beyond the worst such case in DMC1, as the game likes to simply lock you in a room, over and over again, while it respawns the same one or two drab type of enemies until you die — not from the actual challenge that they pose, but from the boredom-induced coma that you are sure to fall into while mashing the one or two combos needed to defeat them. It's like, at first I tried to vary my moves and mix them up a bit, because that's how you're supposed to enjoy DMC's fights, but since the mixing up is not necessary to defeat the enemies, and the game generally neither allows you to run past them, nor makes an effort to create flowing, running battles across several areas, it's hard to stay motivated enough to remain creative. New moves are generally fairly cheap to buy, so you don't need too many orbs, and the game is by no means hard enough to require you to buy and use the most expensive ones, so there's basically no incentive to try to maximize your orb count for anyone but the most autistic player, for whom an "S" rank on a screen that's essentially situated OUTSIDE the game has any meaning. DMC3, then, is by no means the tough-as-nails game that the hype has made it out to be, and you can take my word for it that the original is even slightly harder — and Ninja Gaiden a little harder still than both of them (all at normal difficulty, of course). I think what's earned DMC3 its reputation is the unusual difficulty spike right at the beginning, during the first boss fight and the barroom brawl right before, but once past those two areas there's nothing that would stump anyone who cleared the first game.
And as for the fighting mechanics themselves, aside from a couple of interesting new moves (which were obligatory for this game to be called a sequel), I don't see what the fuss is all about. The separation of Dante's development into 4 different styles, which was the main innovation here, was a redundant idea, since customization in DMC is supposed to happen by choosing which moves to buy and mixing them accordingly; on top of the fact that Ninja Gaiden had been released a year prior and had moved the genre forward, so any innovation in DMC that didn't take this into account was more or less guaranteed to be minor (which they were — and from what I've heard of the 4th game, still are). I do hear that if you specialize in one of the styles I didn't pick (and no, I don't remember which one I picked; it's been 6 fucking years) you end up capable of running on walls or something? — which is a great idea, but which, if true, not only had already been done in Ninja Gaiden (and probably much better), but which would certainly be wasted in a game with such crappy environment design as this one. And at any rate I am not going to replay the endless copy-paste fights in your crappy game three more times in order to see what the other three styles do. I don't do this even in branching-path games in which the reward is far greater (since what changes there is far more than merely your character's moveset), why would I do it in an action game? — "BUT THE COMBAT SYSTEM REALLY BEGINS TO SHINE IF YOU REPLAY THE ENTIRE FUCKIN' GAME 16 TIMES AND TRY TO S-RANK EVERY TEDIOUS LITTLE COPY-PASTE FIGHT IT CONTAINS." Well, too bad I am never going to see that, because I am not enough of an autist to do anything as utterly ridiculous as that, especially when I already have a continually growing backlog of a couple of 10-cubic-meters' storage space worth of far more interesting-looking games to play. If I gave a shit about "S-ranking" shit I'd still be playing Donkey Kong, loser.
Everything, absolutely everything, is done worse here than in DMC1 (well, except maybe the lack of a Pilotwings-like final stage, which was indeed a good thing), and what little was truly bad in that game is done utterly execrably here. The original's number 1 worst thing was the recycling of some boss fights, but at least the boss fights in that game were far better, and their recycling did not come one after the other, as is the case here. Not only that, but the level in which the recycled boss fights take place — the aforementioned hub-type area — is utterly drab and unacceptable: copy-paste/hackjob game design at its worst! The music also seems a little worse, but this might be a result of the aforementioned bad pacing, as you seem to end up hearing the battle tune far more than in the original, which in conjunction with the drab environments will at times probably make you feel almost disgusted with the setting.
It is at this point that Lady — Dante's romantic interest in this game — and the slightly compelling plot development come to the rescue, and if it hadn't been for those I definitely wouldn't have persevered to finish the game. She darts in and out of the picture in various cutscenes between the action, and thus, with the help of one or two sundry characters, advances a threadbare plot that finally lends the gameworld a little color and interest, and helps you persevere through yet a few more copy-paste fights to see what happens next (not unlike Capcom's other mild stinker of the era, Chaos Legion, which I'd played through in a similarly perfunctory manner a few months earlier).
And at the end of the day, like I said before, you ARE playing a Devil May Cry game, and Ninja Gaiden aside there was simply no better 3D action system in existence around this game's release, circa 2005 (and from what I have seen or played since, there barely exist any today either...), so if you can stomach the complete lifelessness and lack of imagination evident in every aspect of the game barring the character design of the protagonists, you could do a lot worse than spend a couple of evenings with this game, which is why the three-star rating. But to praise the game for anything above that is beyond lame, and marks you out — if you are sincere — as an autistic aspie, and if you are not (and merely rebleating the same hype that everyone else is bleating) a fagot hypocrite who deserves to be rounded up along with all his kind and gassed out of this planet to extinction. So let me hear nothing more of DMC3 again, and let this review be cited every time some braindead loser attempts to play the judge on matters in which he shouldn't even be allowed to speak. There are far better action games out there, and have been for some time, and I personally would rather replay something like Otogi or the relatively lackluster Ninja Gaiden 2, or even properly sit down and finish DMC2 (which, due purely to a busy lifestyle at the time, I only ended up trying for a couple of hours when it originally came out), or even better, try out any number of cool-looking action games on which I've missed out over the years (like PS2 Shinobi, for example, or Ninja Blade, or countless others), than so much as CONTEMPLATE the idea of replaying such a bland and unimaginative by-the-numbers sequel as this.

The Language Of Desire: Use Your Own Dirty Words to Make Him Yours Forever
Do YOU find it difficult talking dirty to YOUR boyfriend or husband?
Are YOU afraid of what he might think of YOU if you say the wrong thing while trying to talk dirty?
Are YOU ashamed of talking dirty because YOU might sound like a slut or one of those foul mouth porn stars?
If so, You are not alone!!! There are millions of women who feel the same way YOU do!
That's why YOU need to read my Language Of Desire Review!
The Language Of Desire is written by Felicity Keith an expert guide on this dive into the world of dirty talk, erotic fantasy, and the sexual psychology of men. In case you are wondering, she is not a scientist. She's not a super model or a stripper or a dominatrix or a home-wrecker.
She a regular woman just like you... just a suburban mom, actually, who discovered that being sexy doesn't mean you have to be a slut or porn star. And she has cracked the secret code to the erotic minds of men.
Why did Felicity write The Language of Desire?
Felicity wrote it first for herself. It was her field journal of notes and discoveries as she experimented with her new-found knowledge about men. You see, research is how she dealt with her own humiliating and painful wake up call: when she found out she really was clueless about how to keep her man 100% satisfied and sexually focused on her.
Do you find it difficult keeping your boyfriend or husband focused on you or does he find other things to keep him entertained. Even during sex his mind seems to be on something else. It's true, his body is there with you, but his mind is on the other side of town.
Because there are so many women like you who yearn for that hot and spicy connection with your lover, that seemingly unattainable level of passion we see in Hollywood movies. But you have grown frustrated at what your sex life looks like in reality. I hear so often, "He pays more attention to his work, smart phone, or video games than to me!"
If you are like a lot of women, you believe that passion and intimacy exist, but you have no clue or idea how to easily tap into that primal part of his brain to make things happen. And you may also feel insecure about expressing your own raw sexuality.
Will he judge you? Will he reject you? Will he ever put down his stupid phone and actually see the woman you are inside?
If that sounds like you, do not feel ashamed. You are not alone. And it's all about to change!

Richard Swinburne has presented an extended argument, spanning many works, the conclusion of which is that God likely exists. His argument is a cumulative argument, which means that he considers many pieces of evidence in arguing that God likely exists. The evidence he considers is evidence that is traditionally considered separately (or not at all) in arguments to God's existence. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze Swinburne's inductive, cumulative argument to the existence of God. In the course of analyzing Swinburne's work, I use his argument as a lens to focus on issues that arise in areas outside of philosophy of religion, such as philosophy of science and epistemology. Some main themes of Swinburne's argument for theism are that the infinite is simple, that God is infinite on several properties, and that simple entities are likely to exist. I closely analyze Swinburne's views on infinity and simplicity, and ultimately suggest that these concepts do not do the work that Swinburne claims they do. That is, by taking a careful look at infinity and simplicity, I suggest that Swinburne's argument fails to show that God most likely exists.
Many pressing metaethical problems can be conceived as a need for placing a kind of meaningful and objective morality into an integrated and explanatory worldview, and this requires a constructive explanation of moral obligation. There are two major problems for giving such an explanation. On the one hand, moral obligations must be grounded in a general scheme of practical normativity; otherwise, they can have no authority. On the other hand, moral obligations must arise from social relations; otherwise, they lose their character as demands that a moral community has the authority to enforce. To explain practical normativity in general, I implement and refine a certain kind of explanatory strategy for normativity, which has been developed by J. David Velleman and Christine Korsgaard - constitutivism. To use this strategy, agency and action are conceptually analyzed in terms of a constitutive aim and it is argued that this aim has supreme authority for all who qualify as agents in this technical sense. I argue that a rational agent must aim at systematization of the agent's commitments, and that this aim has the authority to determine correct decision-making for the agent. To show how this can be worked into a theory of moral obligation with its special social character, I argue first for Stephen Darwall's conception of moral obligations as arising from second-personal accountability relations. Then I argue that having a commitment to participation in the moral community - the social group of individuals who jointly subscribe to mutual accountability - is a plausible condition of human nature (what most people are like). Further, it is also plausible, I argue, that for most people this commitment has an authoritative systematic position within one's scheme of commitments. Moral obligations arise directly from the accountability relations within the moral community, and so the authority of one's commitment to the moral community translates into the authority of moral obligations for that individual.
I defend the view that linguistic meaning is a relation borne by an expression to a type of speech act, and that this relation holds in virtue of our overlapping communicative dispositions, and not in virtue of linguistic conventions. I argue that this theory gives the right account of the semantics-pragmatics interface and the best-available semantics for non-declarative clauses, and show that it allows for the construction of a rigorous compositional semantic theory with greater explanatory power than both truth-conditional and dynamic semantics.
This work presents a translation of Plato's dialogue on friendship and a commentary that explores the cultural, literary and philosophical aspects of the dialogue. The translation aims to provide readers with an English version of the dialogue that eschews word-for-word literalness but retains some formality and avoids modern idioms. The analysis of friendship offered in the dialogue is composed of two parts. In the philosophical arguments of the dialogue Plato explores self-directed reasons for friendship. In the literary setting, characters and situations Plato shows us the other-directed aspects of friendship. Only if we consider these two aspects of friendship can we reach a complete understanding of it. The dialogue presents friendship as a voluntary relationship based on caring for the other for the benefit of both friends and their ability to come to know the good. Friends are fungible on Plato's account because what is important is the character of the friend not the person. The dialogue can also be studied for the methods of argumentation that Plato employs. In some of the dialogue's arguments Plato criticizes argumentative strategies that were prevalent in Greek thought before him. One of the dialogues central arguments, that concerning the `proton philon', has a form similar to the `third man' argument from the "Parmenides" and other arguments in Plato that struggle with the nature of Platonic forms. Thus, my commentary explores not only Platonic ideas about friendship but Platonic argumentative methodology as well. The dissertation contains two appendices. In one I examine Vlastos's interpretation of the "Lysis". His interpretation has been influential, but my argument aims to show that his interpretation is not conclusive when we consider the evidence for it in the dialogue alone. It requires Vlastos's chronological understanding of the Platonic corpus. In the second I examine a recent argument about the literary aspects of the dialogue that suggests that Socrates should be considered an unreliable narrator. I argue that there is little evidence for that reading within the text and there are good philosophical reasons for not thinking of Socrates in this way.
This project addresses the question of why philosophical disputes persist, and tackles the problem of how we might better approach them. I demonstrate empirically several ways in which personality, gender, and other factors are associated with specific philosophical beliefs. Typically, one might assume that these individual difference factors are irrelevant to philosophy, and can only serve to bias philosophical disputants. Against this view, I present four case studies, which collectively highlight the different ways in which individual differences in lived experience may be inseparable from philosophical concepts themselves.
My dissertation, "Marx's Democratic Idea: Communism's Relation to Liberal Theory," focuses on working out the undeveloped connections between Marx's economic theory and his political critique. I develop a conception of Marx's work which demonstrates that his critique of the republican political state and capitalist private property relations led to a demand to develop communal, discursively empowered agency over economic relations. I argue that the communist project thus should be viewed as inseparable from a concern about both just social relations (non-coercive, non-exploitative relations) and the maintaining and empowering of democratic, political procedures. I then critically appropriate the work of John Rawls and Jürgen Habermas to fill out a normative standpoint which makes clear structural demands that must be fulfilled to realize a commitment to equality, but also notes that a part of justice is fulfilling the preconditions of discursive relations which should serve to consciously reproduce social relations (and allow citizen self-monitoring of the provision and maintenance of just relations). I then connect the conception of "citizen," which entails state granted protections, rights, and privileges, to Marx's early, descriptive standpoint of democracy, which simply refers to or emphasizes the location or place of each member of society in social reproduction. A connection is found then between a "non-ideal" social theory, which asks one to note the practices and relations which are found in and maintain a society, and an ideal theory of democracy which asks social relations to be consciously or discursively guided. Justice demands are then seen as inseparable from a communist perspective which critiques the alienated and exploitative relations of wage labor to capital; not as transcended in communist relations, but instead, as inherent to their construal and maintenance.
Herein, I suggest that contemporary nonreductive materialsm, the view originated by Fodor (1974) and Putnam (1975), and traditional British emergentism, the view advocated by Alexander, Morgan, and Broad, share a commitment to the existence of higher level properties. I identify all of the arguments and evidence cited in favor of belief in higher-level properties, including evidence culled from composition, multiple realization, projectable predicates, and higher-level ceteris paribus laws. Finally, I argue that all of the evidence cited in favor of the existence of higher-level properties can be explained without positing higher-level properties as long as we accept some plausible assumptions about predicates and properties, most importantly that singular predicates can pick out clusters of properties and that singular predicates can pick out different properties in different objects.
In my dissertation I critically survey existing theories of time consciousness, and draw on recent work in neuroscience and philosophy to develop an original theory. My view depends on a novel account of temporal perception based on the notion of temporal qualities, which are mental properties that are instantiated whenever we detect change in the environment. When we become aware of these temporal qualities in an appropriate way, our conscious experience will feature the distinct temporal phenomenology that is associated with the passing of time. The temporal qualities model of perception makes two predictions about the mechanisms of time perception; one that time perception is modality specific and the other that it can occur without awareness. My argument for this view partially depends on a number of psychophysical experiments that I designed and implemented myself and which investigate subjective time distortions caused by looming visual stimuli. These results show that the mechanisms of conscious experience of time are distinct from the mechanisms of time perception, as my theory of temporal qualities predicts.
In this thesis, we discuss both philosophical and technical issues on proof theory of modal logic and justification logic. In Chapter 2, we present a view of the foundations of logic, aiming for giving a view of various non-classical logics (called a ``structural-reflective view of logic") and answering the question ``are modal operators logical constants?" We present a method of introducing logical constants in Gentzen-style sequent calculi, based on abstract consequence relations. We propose a synthesis of Avron's, Dosen's, and Sambin et al's methods of introducing logical constants as positive criteria for a logical constant. In particular, we extend their methods to a certain class of modal logics by adopting the framework of hypersequent calculi and argue that modal operators in these logics are indeed logical constants according to our criterion. In addition, we discuss philosophical repercussions of the method, such as the significance of cut-elimination, the connection of the view with proof-theoretic semantics, Belnap's criteria of logical constant-hood, and the problem of what a good proof system is. In Chapter 3, we present hypersequent calculi for some of the strict implication logics and modal logics that are introduced in Chapter 1 and related logics. We show the cut-elimination theorem for these logics and proof-theoretically show correctness and faithfulness of modal embeddings of their superintuitionistic counterparts into these logics. In Chapter 4, we discuss another application of hypersequent calculi to modal logic. In this chapter, we consider logics that combine Artemov's justification logic and traditional modal logics. We formulate combinations of the logic of proofs LP and traditional model logics S4, GL, and Grz, which are studied from the viewpoint of (either formal or informal) ``provability." To handle proof systems for these logics uniformly, we need a proof-theoretic framework that is more general than traditional Gentzen-style calculi. We first introduce prefixed tableau systems and then introduce hypersequent sequent calculi for these logics. We show cut-admissibility for all of these systems via a semantic method.
Material objects exist at different times. Endurance theory is the view that they are wholly present at each of the times at which they exist--or, that they are located at multiple regions of spacetime. In this dissertation, I argue that endurance theory is coherent by explaining how cases of multilocation (whether in space or in spacetime) are possible. My goals are twofold. The first is to show that there is nothing incoherent, both metaphysically and formally, in cases of multilocation and, thereby, in endurance theory. After having introduced temporal and regional variants of classical extensional mereology together with some principles about the location of objects in space, I show how our reluctance to admit cases of multilocation can be resisted by responding to an argument to the effect that they are incoherent. I then defend the view that endurance is multilocation in spacetime against rival characterizations. And, in the Appendix to the Dissertation, I develop formal theories of location in which objects can be located at several regions of space (or space-time). The second goal is to explain how the possibility of multilocation arises. I claim that it is possible for material objects to be located at several disjoint regions of space (or spacetime) because their haecceities, or the properties they have of being themselves, can be instantiated at these several regions. I offer an analysis of haecceities that allows us to give necessary and/or sufficient conditions for their instantiation. It is these conditions that constitute an explanation of the possibility of multilocation. I end the dissertation by showing that my analysis of haecceities, and of how they could come to be instantiated at distinct places, solves other issues in the metaphysics of persistence and, specifically, issues regarding the coincidence of material objects.

Lesson 1
Objective: Setting. This novel is set in Tuscany, Italy in the late 1930s. The objective of this lesson is to look at setting.
1. Homework: Students will rewrite the basic plot of Up at the Villa and set it in another century, explaining how the different setting changes the work. For example, what would be different if it were set in the twenty-first century?
2. Class discussion: Could Up at the Villa have been set anywhere? How does the setting make this a unique story? How do the people in Italy in this era differ from the students' hometown? How did the setting affect the characters, the plot, and the themes? Why is the setting important?
3. Group work: In groups, students will research a setting that might be similar and discuss the ways in which Karl's life would have been different set in another time or place.

'Birdman' cleared of wrongdoing
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)
Miami Heat forward Chris Andersen was the victim of a wide-ranging Internet hoax that resulted in a raid of his Denver-area home last year, his lawyer said Wednesday, and prosecutors confirmed Andersen was cleared of wrongdoing in the "extremely complex" case.
SWEETEST TATTOOSAthletes and their fans have some of the best tattoos. Here are some of our favorites.
Lisa Pinto, spokeswoman for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office, told The Associated Press that the office is reviewing a 4,000-page report before charging decisions are made, but added that "based on the information that we have been able to obtain and analyze, we are not pursuing charges against Chris Andersen."
Andersen's lawyer and agent, Mark Bryant, said his client was duped by a woman in Canada who sought a relationship and gifts and who threatened a female acquaintance of Andersen's in California while impersonating the tattoo-covered fan favorite known as "Birdman."
Bryant said neither Andersen nor his acquaintance realized they weren't communicating with each other online or via cellphone texts but rather were communicating with the woman in Canada, who impersonated one to the other.
The Canadian woman initially contacted Andersen through his now-shuttered Facebook profile, Bryant said.
"Chris was a victim," said Bryant, adding it was his understanding that the investigation uncovered at least a dozen people across several other states who were duped by the same woman who's been charged in Canada.
Although she was arrested in January, her connection to Andersen's situation didn't become clear until recently, Bryant said.
Sgt. Line Karpish, a spokeswoman with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said Douglas County, Colo., authorities requested assistance on the case in May 2012, and that investigation led to the January arrest of Shelly Lynn Chartier, 29, of Easterville Manitoba.
These guys never stopped running...their mouths. Best trash talkers.
Chartier was charged with possession and transmission of child pornography, extortion and utter threats, Karpish said. Her next court appearance is Oct. 22.
Chartier also faces possible charges in Colorado.
"It would be premature for us here at the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office to discuss this case before filing charges," Pinto said. "We are looking at 4,000 pages of information in relation to an investigation that is extremely complex. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has conducted a highly sophisticated investigation where they have crossed state lines and international borders to obtain evidence and pursue the truth in this case. We will announce our findings in the near future after a careful review of the evidence."
In May 2012, Douglas County Sheriff's detectives searched Andersen's Larkspur home as part of an ongoing investigation by the department's Internet Crimes Against Children unit.
Although Andersen wasn't arrested or charged, the Denver Nuggets, in the midst of a playoff series against the Lakers, excused him from all team-related activities. That offseason, they released him under the NBA's amnesty clause.
Andersen, 35, signed with Miami last winter and helped the Heat win their second straight NBA title, after which he signed a one-year deal to return this season.
The NBA Finals were filled with unforgettable plays. Check out the Heat's top 10 moments.
"I want to thank the Miami Heat organization for reaching out and believing in Chris probably more as an individual than as a basketball player," Bryant said. "That embrace assisted him in this difficult time and to that organization and to the fans around the world that stood behind him, his deepest thanks."
Bryant said Andersen will continue to cooperate with investigators and prosecutors "as they seek justice for all involved." He said he didn't believe any of the other alleged victims were celebrities or sports figures.
With his reputation tarnished, Andersen had to halt his numerous appearances for children's charities until his name was cleared.
"I can't tell you how much Chris agonized about the label placed on him and some of the public's perception that resulted from these acts," Bryant said. "Chris among all things is a member of our community and has a long, documented history of reaching out to children. He's done this through assisting with children's camps, local orphanages, literally (dressing up as) Santa Claus in our community."
Bryant said Andersen, who didn't release a statement, told him he appreciated those who reserved judgment and stood by him as he professed his innocence.
As for Andersen's acquaintance in California, "that individual here is also a victim," Bryant said.
Check out our latest Facebook updates, tweets and photos.
Bryant said the young woman from California flew to Denver to see Andersen, "but again, that liaison was set up by the individual in Canada. (The young woman) came here and they spent time together and left. What transpired after that we believe was a threat from the individual in Canada, presuming to be Chris Andersen to that individual. And that threat subsequently led to the warrants that were executed on Mr. Andersen's house — although they had nothing to do with Chris."
The young woman was 17 at the time, which is the age of consent in Colorado.
"There was no crime committed in Colorado," Bryant said.

In a speech delivered before a joint session of Congress, President Obama called for every American to complete at least one year of postsecondary education and pledged greater financial support for those attending college. He also urged that America become the "best educated" nation and set the goal of having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020.
In addition to healthcare and alternative energy, the president declared education to be a top priority for improving America's economy and its place in the world. He called on families, schools, and Congress to embrace this priority, and to better prepare citizens for careers that increasingly require some amount of education or training beyond high school.
President Obama promised greater funding for higher education in the federal budget for 2010. This may include the educational tax benefits he advocated in his campaign, as well as other increases to federal student financial aid. He once again mentioned community service or other national service as requirements for future financial aid.
In addition to pledging greater state support, he also asked for an individual commitment by each American to not only graduate from high school, but to set college goals and attend a college, university, community college, or vocational training program for at least one year. In addition to helping people succeed individually, greater education and training can lead to greater success for society.
Obviously, problems with paying for school will not disappear overnight. But with help from schools and the government, individuals who work hard and make higher education a priority can reap the benefits, despite the challenges that remain.
April 28, 2009
As Congress moves forward with a federal budget plan for 2010, rhetoric is ramping up on both sides of what is proving to be one of the most contentious budget debates so far: whether or not to eliminate the Federal Family Education Loan Program. President Obama initially proposed this move in his budget outline, saying that a move to Direct Loans would result in a savings of $48 billion, money that could be put towards expanding the Federal Pell Grant program.
After the Congressional Budget Office revised the estimated savings to $94 billion over 10 years, many members of Congress and several higher education professional organizations have been offering up tentative support for the plan. Democrats on the joint budget committee have even begun paving the way for this portion of the budget to be eligible for reconciliation, a filibuster-proof process that will allow portions of the budget to pass with a simple majority vote in the Senate.
However, lenders and other groups have begun suggesting and campaigning for alternatives that would allow the bank-based student loan program to continue to exist while still cutting costs to some extent. Concerns have been raised that Direct Loans will not be as efficient or as kind to borrowers in the long run, though the credit crisis has made the program especially appealing as FFELP has required repeated government interventions to avoid grinding completely to a halt. With many schools voluntarily making the switch to direct lending based on the program's current stability, concerns have also been raised about a rapid expansion in Direct Loans overwhelming the program as it currently stands. Others worry that eliminating FFELP may speed lenders' exodus from private loans, ultimately leaving many students in a worse place financially than they find themselves in now.
What's emerging is a war of words between banks and the President. In a speech on Friday, Obama characterized lenders as, "gearing up for battle," to which he responded, "So am I. . . And for those who care about America's future, this is a battle we can't afford to lose." Considering the President's popularity and lenders' tarnished reputations from crisis after scandal after crisis over the last two years, we may see big changes happening soon in student loans.
May 6, 2009
A little over a week after announcing his plans to gear up for battle with student lenders over the future of the Federal Family Education Loan Program, President Obama has begun calling in the troops. An e-mail message sent to young Obama supporters by the Democratic National Committee is urging students to speak up in favor of the President's proposal to switch all federal lending to the Direct Loans program and to use the savings to expand Federal Pell Grants.
Students have been asked to call, write, or e-mail their Representatives and Senators to let them know what they think of the proposal to eliminate FFELP for Stafford Loans and PLUS Loans. The text of the e-mail, as reported by The Chronicle of Higher Education, urges students to stand against "special interests" and to help "fix a broken system." Rhetoric on the other side has focused primarily on preserving jobs and preserving choice (technically, the choice is primarily left to schools, not students, as students aren't able to choose freely between DL and FFELP until they graduate and consider consolidation loans).
Regardless of whether you favor or oppose this plan, now is a good time to let your people in Congress know how you feel, since changes in federal student financial aid are likely to affect you directly. So, what do you think? What changes, if any, should Congress make to student loans? Do you plan on writing to Congress about this issue?
May 22, 2009
Yesterday, Congress held a hearing to begin the process of determining the fate of the Federal Family Education Loan Program, the bank-based federal student loan program that President Obama has proposed eliminating in the 2010 federal budget. Voices from both sides of the debate chimed in, with one clear theme emerging: in 2010, student loans are definitely going to change. The questions at this point are to what extent federal student lending will change and whether the banks currently involved in FFEL will still have a place in the new system.
The Obama administration proposes switching all federal Stafford and PLUS loans to the federal Direct Loans program, then using the savings from eliminating lender subsidies to increase Federal Pell Grants and make funding mandatory, while also greatly expanding the federal Perkins Loan program and spending more on college completion. Opponents of this plan, primarily consisting of FFEL lenders and representatives of schools that participate in FFEL, have suggested alternatives that would restructure student lending, but still leave a place for lenders to service the loans. Not one witness at the hearing advocated keeping the system as it is, though, and it seems that a shakeup in student lending is inevitable. Hopefully, this will result in more available financial aid for students. Inside Higher Ed has more information on the hearing.

Yesterday, President Obama announced a new focus on community colleges in a speech delivered at Macomb Community College in Michigan. Obama pledged $12 billion to improve facilities, increase enrollment, and boost graduation rates at the nation's community colleges, a shift in education policy from the traditional focus on K-12 education and public universities. In addition to the proposed federal funding increase, Obama's speech also called for community colleges to graduate five million more students by the year 2020.
Community colleges have already seen increased enrollments and publicity in recent years. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, community colleges saw the greatest enrollment boom since the 1960s during the first half of this decade. The current economic downturn has prompted even more first-time college students and unemployed adults to enroll at community colleges this academic year. Community college officials and the Obama administration hope that the increased attention paid to community colleges will prompt more students to consider enrolling, either as a path to a career training degree or certificate, or in order to transfer to four-year colleges.
Beyond Presidential endorsement, there are many other incentives to pursue a degree at a community college. Tuition is typically much lower at two-year schools than at private colleges or state colleges, and courses are often offered with the scheduling needs of working adult students in mind. Additionally, numerous scholarship opportunities exist specifically for students pursuing two-year degree programs. Community college students can do a free college scholarship search to learn more about funding opportunities available.

Even as much of the student loan agenda President Obama announced last year remains stalled in Congress, he is expected to propose a new plan to assist middle-class workers in repaying their student loans as part of his State of the Union address on Wednesday. On Monday, the White House announced some of the points Obama plans to address, and among the items is a plan to make student loan payments more affordable.
Obama's proposal would alter the federal Income-Based Repayment plan to make it beneficial to a wider range of borrowers. Currently, college graduates who choose Income-Based Repayment are expected to make loan payments equivalent to 15% of their discretionary income each month (defined as income above 150% of the poverty level for the borrower's household size) and to make consistent payments for 25 years, at which time their remaining loan balances will be forgiven. Under the new plan, borrowers would have to make payments of only 10% of their discretionary income each month, and would only have to make payments for 20 years before their remaining balances are forgiven.
This change would have an added bonus for students pursuing careers in public service. Students who enroll in IBR and work in approved public service fields (such as teaching, healthcare, non-profit work, or government employment) can see their loans forgiven after just 10 years of payments in IBR. For many students, this can mean a substantial reduction in their overall loan obligations as well as more easily manageable payments as they begin their careers.
To illustrate the benefits of the President's proposal, the Institute for College Access and Success provided the following example: someone with $33,000 in student loans who currently makes $30,000 per year would have a loan payment of $110 per month under this plan, compared to $170 per month under the current IBR plan, and $380 per month under the standard repayment plan.
Although it has the potential to enormously benefit individual borrowers, the proposed adjustment to the IBR plan is likely to run into some opposition. In the example above, as in many other cases, the new IBR plan will result in a significantly smaller amount being repaid by borrowers, especially those who go into public service. However, it may substantially reduce borrowers' likelihood to default, which would prove beneficial overall. Still, calculating the overall cost to taxpayers is likely to be vital to this proposal's viability, especially given the Obama administration's announcement of a planned three-year freeze on federal spending.
Overall, these changes would benefit an estimated 36 percent of borrowers, according to Inside Higher Ed. The National Association of Colleges and Employers lists the average starting salary for college graduates at $48,633, and depending on household size and overall debt, graduates in this bracket may not see much benefit from IBR. By contrast, the average starting salary for liberal arts graduates is $36,624, making them most likely to benefit from this program. However, many recent graduates are considering themselves lucky to find jobs paying substantially below these figures right now. It's likely that a broad range of college graduates, especially those pursuing careers in fields that have been badly impacted by the recession, may welcome the proposed changes.
What do you think of this plan? Would it help you or would you rather see federal resources being used in another way?

Seventeen states across the country have joined together in a pledge to improve college graduation rates as part of the Complete College America Alliance of States.
The alliance, announced today, is led by Stan Jones, Indiana's former commissioner for higher education, and the Washington-based nonprofit group Complete College America. It is part of a larger, national effort led by President Obama of making the United States the most educated country by 2020. The main goal is to raise the number of adults between 25 and 35 with associate's or bachelor's degrees from 38 percent to 60 percent.
How will they do it? According to Complete College America, a number of things need to happen to develop action plans and move legislators to create change. Among those are the following:
The United States ranks 10th in the percentage of young adults with college degrees, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and an article yesterday in the The Chronicle of Higher Education. While there have been a number of initiatives cropping up recently to move high school students into college faster and move college students through college faster, this project is unique in that it focuses on involving state legislators and creating new policies that would make move such initiatives into law. As ideas become policies, more funding also becomes available on the state and federal level to keep programs in place. (Even successful programs that have helped thousands of students get into and through college have been affected by budget cuts over the last year or so due to the recession.)
March 11, 2010
A recent survey shows that college students are in line with young adults when it comes to the economy and President Obama's handling of the economic situation in recent months—they're all worried.
The report, titled "Survey of Young Americans' Attitudes Toward Politics and Public Service: 17th Edition," was an online survey conducted by Knowledge Networks for Harvard University's Institute of Politics. It joins similar surveys on college and the economy that look to determine where college students stand in terms of their own economic outlooks. Between Jan. 28 and Feb. 22, more than 3,000 adults ages 18 to 29, including college students, were asked to comment on whether they were concern about the economic crisis, politics, and their ideologies, among other topics. Despite recent upswings in the economy and the federal government's general positive outlook on how the economic landscape will improve by year's end, the survey showed that college students and young adults aren't as optimistic.
According to the survey:
A recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education looked at other intricacies of the survey, and compared the two age groups. While college students and young adults mostly agreed about the economy, college students were generally more concerned about climate change, foreign policy decisions, and the idea that community service is an honorable thing to do. College students were also less likely to get involved in politics and participating in voting activities if they were not well-versed on candidates and issues than young adults, and agreed more strongly that basic necessities, such as food and shelter, are a right that government should provide to those unable to afford them.

To compensate for stalled negotiations on both health care legislation and a bill that would overhaul the country's student loan program and improve college students' access to federal aid, Democratic leaders proposed a solution yesterday that would move both of those hot-button issues forward—combine them, and pass them as one.
Both the comprehensive health care bill, which would guarantee health insurance to 30 million uninsured Americans, and the student loan bill, which would replace private lending with direct lending through the government and increase Pell Grant maximums, have faced opposition as Democrats work to pass both through Congress before the November mid-term elections. To kill two birds with one stone, Democratic legislators proposed bundling the two bills into one last night, not only to give the proposals a better chance at passage, but to keep them alive long enough for a vote by the full Senate and House.
An article in the New York Times yesterday describes the strong support a dual measure already has among the Democrats, suggesting that adding the student loan bill to the more expansive health care legislation would improve the health care bill's chances at passage. (Providing college students with more access to federal aid is undoubtedly more popular and less controversial than crafting a reasonable health care bill.)
The student loan bill had already passed in the House. Recent predictions have the government saving about $67 billion by going to direct lending; that new funding would go toward Pell Grants and other education programs. (A rise in the number of people attending college and seeking aid in the weak economy has raised the projected cost of new Pell Grants to $54 billion from $40 billion, according to the New York Times.) The student loan bill has been a consistent goal of President Obama's, as lenders have come under fire for a lack of oversight, rising student loan default rates, and contributing to excessive debt among college students. Effectively, the bill would put an end to direct-to-student private loans, which students can borrow without even informing the financial aid office, and which can be taken out for more than the student's cost of attendance for the academic year.
The private student loan industry has obviously not been very supportive of the bill, and Republicans have questioned whether giving the government control over the student loan industry is really a wise choice.

Last week, national immigrant youth-led organization United We DREAM started a petition asking President Obama to remove discussions of the DREAM Act from his campaign literature and fundraising emails unless he is willing to use his executive power to block deportations for DREAM Act-eligible students. The petition is a result of President Obama repeatedly saying he supports the bill and that undocumented students are not the focus of his immigration enforcement plans, yet over 390,000 people were deported last year alone.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration has denied that it could use its discretion to stop the deportation of DREAM Act-eligible students. "I am not going to stand here and say that there are whole categories that we will, by executive fiat, exempt from the current immigration system, as sympathetic as we feel towards them," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in April. "But I will say that group ... are not the priority [for deportation]."
As the deportations continue, DREAM Act supporters say it is disingenuous for President Obama to use his support for the bill to drum up support for his reelection. Let us know what you think.

Tonight's game so many frustrating things come to an end, you almost have to consider it a new beginning. So many things, you have to list them:
1. Gonzo finally showed some power, but we also saw his fielding powress.
2. EdE got a hit on the road.
3. Griffey got his first HR.
4. David Ross got two hits and looked much better at the plate.
5. Scott Hatteberg looked like the 2006 version.
6. The team got 17 hits and 10 runs--more than the whole Philies series
7. Timely hitting all around.
Good stuff
Of course, on the other hand, we saw some things that are still aggravating:
1. Dunn's slump continues.
2. Phillips continues to be a horrible 2-hole hitter (though he went 2-6).
3. The bullpen is still very hittable (I know, everyone knew that).
4. Todd Coffey continues to be the most confusing player here, throwing
10 pitches--9 of them for stikes and still allowed three straight hits,
then throws tr=hree almost perfect pitches to get out of it.
Just goes to show you with good pitching and not having efveryone in a slump, you can win with this bunch. May the force continue.
But is this the beginning of the bats waking up and the team playing well??
