Construction began several weeks ago on a new sound wall along Highway 36 on the western edge of Planet Bluegrass. The eight foot tall sound barrier is the final element relating to the North St. Vrain bridge projects, which were rebuilt by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) in 2007. "This was part of the plan all along," says Planet Bluegrass president Craig Ferguson.

Surprisingly, eight citizens and two Trustees showed up at Monday evening's Planning and Community Development Commission (PCDC) meeting. Not surprisingly, six of the citizens were there to talk about unexplored options (the banning of cultivation, infusion, and sale of medical marijuana) the Town might consider. Unfortunately for those six hearty souls who had braved the frigid temperatures instead of watching the Auburn/Oregon game, medical marijuana was not on the agenda. What was on the agenda were possible amendments to the Town's annexation procedures.

Lawyer says city officer will be clearedBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | December 08,2012
FullerA Middlebury lawyer representing a Rutland City police officer who became the subject of a criminal investigation this week said Friday he believed his client would be cleared of any wrongdoing.
"He explained to me what happened and I told him it was absolutely not a criminal act," attorney Peter Langrock said, referring to his conversation this week with Officer Thomas Fuller.
The 26-year veteran was placed on administrative leave this week following what Rutland Police Chief James Baker called an "altercation" at Rutland Regional Medical Center on Dec. 1.
The details of that incident, which Baker said did not result in an arrest, have not been disclosed and Langrock said he could not talk about the case while a Vermont State Police investigation into the matter continued.
Hospital officials have said the incident did not involve a patient or staff member at RRMC.
Langrock did say he was confident that Fuller would be reinstated to active duty soon with little damage to his reputation.
"We've agreed to cooperate fully with the investigation and the suspension is only a matter of course," he said. "His good name is strong enough that after 27 years as a police officer, he'll be able to withstand a misunderstanding."
Fuller, who was on duty at the time of the incident, was placed on administrative leave Monday — the same day that state police were asked to conduct an investigation.
A state police spokeswoman said Friday the case would be "thoroughly and completely investigated" and that no estimate for its completion was available.
State police said Friday that an investigation into another city police officer, Joseph Warfle, has been completed and the case has been forwarded to the Vermont Attorney General's office.
Warfle, a veteran of more than 20 years, was placed on paid administrative leave in October and a criminal investigation was ordered to look into worker compensation he had claimed.
Officials with the Attorney General's office, which will decide whether a criminal charge is warranted in Warfle's case, could be reached Friday afternoon.

Energetic defense getting it donePosted by on November 10, 2012 – 8:00 pm
The Steelers defense is currently ranked number one overall in the NFL, as well as number one against the pass, but despite coming a long way since week one of the season you won't hear players bragging about the ranking at this point.
"I don't put too much into that at this time," said defensive end Brett Keisel. "There is a lot of football left to be played, a lot of good football teams that we still need to play. If we are number one in the end I might pat us on the back a little bit, but right now we have to continue doing what we are doing and continue winning games."
In the past three games, all wins, the defense has only allowed opponents in the red zone seven times, yielding only four touchdowns.
"We want to finish off number one," said cornerback Ike Taylor. "We want to take it and run with it. That is our goal as a defense. We want to keep that going. Take it as far as possible and hopefully come out with something at the end of the year."
The good news is the defense is one that is definitely on the rise. After week one against Denver they were ranked 15th in total defense, a number they weren't happy with, and struggled in the early part of the season. They knew they had to pick things up.
"Our backs were against the wall," said linebacker Larry Foote. "We were letting the team down in our play early on. We weren't satisfied. We weren't playing our best ball, especially in the fourth quarter.
"Just that alone everything intensified, our concentration, effort, on the practice field, game day. We had one choice. We could go in the tank or get up out of it. We made the choice to get up out of the hole."
They definitely got out of the hole. The defense ranks first in total yards allowed per game at 262.6 yards, and yards passing at 174 yards per game.
"I think we are playing with more energy," said Taylor. "I think the defense is playing with more enthusiasm. We are not getting as many penalties as we were earlier in the season. In the fourth quarter we are closing out games more than we were earlier in the year."
Keisel agreed, saying that the energy level definitely has increased as of late and it's paying big dividends for them.
"We all take pride in how we play," said Keisel. "When we go out to practice we feel like we bring energy the whole week and when we go out to play games it's going to be filled with energy. We know when we go out and play with energy, play for each other, and fly to the ball we are very tough. It's all effort, determination and a will to win.
"It's fun going out there right now competing with these guys, We have been a great defense here for a long time and we expect to continue that tradition."

Steelers have always had an awesome defense and it all started with Chuck Noll, the Steel Curtain in the 70's and has been a tradition ever since. Now with the offense getting back to controlling the ball with a great running game along with the passing attack to give the Steeler defense time to rest which they were not getting early in the season. The defense is making the best of it and really starting to click. Keep it up – GO STEELERS –

Well, I started to write a response but I'm sure we could both discuss this all day and we're already going off topic. It all comes down to, as always, using whatever works best for you. I was a long time iTunes user that hasn't used it for the last couple of years because I don't like it as much as the alternatives anymore. If you like it, then there's nothing wrong with it.
It's long in the tooth, but it's quickest and easiest for me, and does what I want. I'm hopeful Microsoft will get its act together.

Bellwood, Ill. - Santa knows just what Terrell Owens wants for Christmas - the newest Sharpie permanent marker, the Sharpie METALLIC silver. Debuting just in time to stuff into the All-Pro San Francisco 49er's wide receiver's stocking, the revolutionary Sharpie Metallic marker is appearing in a new ad on Christmas Eve that will certainly make football fans smile. In keeping with the holiday spirit of giving, Sharpie also is donating $25,000 on behalf of Owens to the Alzheimer's Association to recognize a charity that is close to Owens' heart. Owens has been an active spokesperson for the Association and recently served as the Memory Walk celebrity team chair for the Northern California/Northern Nevada Chapter. "My now-famous end zone autograph gave Sharpie a lot of attention this year, and I'm glad we're able to come together to help an important cause," said Terrell Owens. "My grandmother is fighting Alzheimer's, so I'm grateful to Sharpie for its generosity." Football fans will have a chance to see Owens' stuffed stocking in a new full-page color ad appearing in USA Today on Dec. 24th. Created by McCann-Erickson, the ad features a red Christmas stocking with Terrell's name on it and a Sharpie Metallic marker sticking out of the top. The ad reads, "Mr. Owens, have we got a stocking stuffer for you."
With its signature bold silver line, the Sharpie Metallic Christmas gift will allow Owens to autograph dark and difficult to mark surfaces, including footballs, helmets and photographs. "The Sharpie Metallic marker is a perfect gift for Terrell and anyone who wants to leave a distinct mark on any surface, especially dark surfaces," said Chris Heye, vice president and general manager for Sharpie. "We recognize all of the visibility Owens has brought Sharpie recently, and this holiday season we're thrilled to team up and give back to the community through a donation to the Alzheimer's Association." Sharpie Metallic is available where writing instruments and art products are sold, in 1-, 2- and 4-packs starting at a suggested retail price of $1.45.

Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs) (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology and zoology.
Together with Plato, and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. He was the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics. Aristotle's views on the physical sciences profoundly shaped medieval scholarship, and their influence extended well into the Renaissance, although they were ultimately replaced by modern physics. In the biological sciences, some of his observations were only confirmed to be accurate in the nineteenth century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, which were incorporated in the late nineteenth century into modern formal logic. In metaphysics, Aristotelianism had a profound influence on philosophical and theological thinking in the Islamic and Jewish traditions in the Middle Ages, and it continues to influence Christian theology, especially Eastern Orthodox theology, and the scholastic tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. All aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue to be the object of active academic study today.
Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues (Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold"), it is thought that the majority of his writings are now lost and only about one third of the original works have survived.
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is the truth.|20|20|Aristotle
Aristotle was born in Stageira, Chalcidice in 384 BC. His father, Nicomachus was the personal physician to King Amyntas of Macedon. Aristotle was trained and educated as a member of the aristocracy. At about the age of eighteen, he went to Athens to continue his education at Plato's Academy. Aristotle remained at the academy for nearly twenty years, not leaving until after Plato's death in 347 BC. He then traveled with Xenocrates to the court of his friend Hermias of Atarneus in Asia Minor. While in Asia, Aristotle traveled with Theophrastus to the island of Lesbos, where together they researched the botany and zoology of the island. Aristotle married Hermias's adoptive daughter (or niece) Pythias. She bore him a daughter, whom they named Pythias. Soon after Hermias' death, Aristotle was invited by Philip of Macedon to become tutor to Alexander the Great.
After spending several years tutoring the young Alexander, Aristotle returned to Athens. By 335 BC, he established his own school there, known as the Lyceum. Aristotle conducted courses at the school for the next twelve years. While in Athens, his wife Pythias died, and Aristotle became involved with Herpyllis of Stageira, who bore him a son whom he named after his father, Nicomachus. According to the Suda, he also had an eromenos, Palaephatus of Abydus.
It is during this period in Athens when Aristotle is believed to have composed many of his works. Aristotle wrote many dialogues, only fragments of which survived. The works that have survived are in treatise form and were not, for the most part, intended for widespread publication, as they are generally thought to be lecture aids for his students. His most important treatises include Physics, Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, De Anima (On the Soul) and Poetics. These works, although connected in many fundamental ways, vary significantly in both style and substance.
Aristotle not only studied almost every subject possible at the time, but made significant contributions to most of them. In physical science, Aristotle studied anatomy, astronomy, economics, embryology, geography, geology, meteorology, physics and zoology. In philosophy, he wrote on aesthetics, ethics, government, metaphysics, politics, psychology, rhetoric and theology. He also studied education, foreign customs, literature and poetry. His combined works constitute a virtual encyclopedia of Greek knowledge. It has been suggested that Aristotle was probably the last person to know everything there was to be known in his own time. Upon Alexander's death, anti-Macedonian sentiment in Athens once again flared. Eurymedon the hierophant denounced Aristotle for not holding the gods in honor. Aristotle fled the city to his mother's family estate in Chalcis, explaining, "I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy, a reference to Athens's prior trial and execution of Socrates. However, he died in Euboea of natural causes within the year (in 322 BC). Aristotle left a will and named chief executor his student Antipater, in which he asked to be buried next to his wife. It has also been proposed that Aristotle's banishment and death resulted from the possibility that he was involved with the death of Alexander.
Aristotle's conception of logic was the dominant form of logic until 19th century advances in mathematical logic. Kant stated in the Critique of Pure Reason that Aristotle's theory of logic completely accounted for the core of deductive inference.
The order of the books (or the teachings from which they are composed) is not certain, but this list was derived from analysis of Aristotle's writings. It goes from the basics, the analysis of simple terms in the Categories, to the study of more complex forms, namely, syllogisms (in the Analytics) and dialectics (in the Topics and Sophistical Refutations). There is one volume of Aristotle's concerning logic not found in the Organon, namely the fourth book of Metaphysics..
Like his teacher Plato, Aristotle's philosophy aims at the universal. Aristotle, however, found the universal in particular things, which he called the essence of things, while Plato finds that the universal exists apart from particular things, and is related to them as their prototype or exemplar. For Aristotle, therefore, philosophic method implies the ascent from the study of particular phenomena to the knowledge of essences, while for Plato philosophic method means the descent from a knowledge of universal Forms (or ideas) to a contemplation of particular imitations of these. For Aristotle, "form" still refers to the unconditional basis of phenomena but is "instantiated" in a particular substance (see Universals and particulars, below). In a certain sense, Aristotle's method is both inductive and deductive, while Plato's is essentially deductive from a priori principles.
In Aristotle's terminology, "natural philosophy" is a branch of philosophy examining the phenomena of the natural world, and included fields that would be regarded today as physics, biology and other natural sciences. In modern times, the scope of philosophy has become limited to more generic or abstract inquiries, such as ethics and metaphysics, in which logic plays a major role. Today's philosophy tends to exclude empirical study of the natural world by means of the scientific method. In contrast, Aristotle's philosophical endeavors encompassed virtually all facets of intellectual inquiry.
In the larger sense of the word, Aristotle makes philosophy coextensive with reasoning, which he also would describe as "science". Note, however, that his use of the term science carries a different meaning than that covered by the term "scientific method". For Aristotle, "all science (dianoia) is either practical, poetical or theoretical" (Metaphysics 1025b25). By practical science, he means ethics and politics; by poetical science, he means the study of poetry and the other fine arts; by theoretical science, he means physics, mathematics and metaphysics.
If logic (or "analytics") is regarded as a study preliminary to philosophy, the divisions of Aristotelian philosophy would consist of: (1) Logic; (2) Theoretical Philosophy, including Metaphysics, Physics, Mathematics, (3) Practical Philosophy and (4) Poetical Philosophy.
In the period between his two stays in Athens, between his times at the Academy and the Lyceum, Aristotle conducted most of the scientific thinking and research for which he is renowned today. In fact, most of Aristotle's life was devoted to the study of the objects of natural science. Aristotle's metaphysics contains observations on the nature of numbers but he made no original contributions to mathematics. He did, however, perform original research in the natural sciences, e.g., botany, zoology, physics, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology, and several other sciences.
Aristotle's writings on science are largely qualitative, as opposed to quantitative. Beginning in the sixteenth century, scientists began applying mathematics to the physical sciences, and Aristotle's work in this area was deemed hopelessly inadequate. His failings were largely due to the absence of concepts like mass, velocity, force and temperature. He had a conception of speed and temperature, but no quantitative understanding of them, which was partly due to the absence of basic experimental devices, like clocks and thermometers.
His writings provide an account of many scientific observations, a mixture of precocious accuracy and curious errors. For example, in his History of Animals he claimed that human males have more teeth than females. In a similar vein, John Philoponus, and later Galileo, showed by simple experiments that Aristotle's theory that the more massive object falls faster than a less massive object is incorrect. On the other hand, Aristotle refuted Democritus's claim that the Milky Way was made up of "those stars which are shaded by the earth from the sun's rays," pointing out (correctly, even if such reasoning was bound to be dismissed for a long time) that, given "current astronomical demonstrations" that "the size of the sun is greater than that of the earth and the distance of the stars from the earth many times greater than that of the sun, then...the sun shines on all the stars and the earth screens none of them.
In places, Aristotle goes too far in deriving 'laws of the universe' from simple observation and over-stretched reason. Today's scientific method assumes that such thinking without sufficient facts is ineffective, and that discerning the validity of one's hypothesis requires far more rigorous experimentation than that which Aristotle used to support his laws.
Aristotle also had some scientific blind spots. He posited a geocentric cosmology that we may discern in selections of the Metaphysics, which was widely accepted up until the 1500s. From the 3rd century to the 1500s, the dominant view held that the Earth was the center of the universe (geocentrism).
Since he was perhaps the philosopher most respected by European thinkers during and after the Renaissance, these thinkers often took Aristotle's erroneous positions as given, which held back science in this epoch. However, Aristotle's scientific shortcomings should not mislead one into forgetting his great advances in the many scientific fields. For instance, he founded logic as a formal science and created foundations to biology that were not superseded for two millennia. Moreover, he introduced the fundamental notion that nature is composed of things that change and that studying such changes can provide useful knowledge of underlying constants.
Each of the four earthly elements has its natural place; the earth at the centre of the universe, then water, then air, then fire. When they are out of their natural place they have natural motion, requiring no external cause, which is towards that place; so bodies sink in water, air bubbles up, rain falls, flame rises in air. The heavenly element has perpetual circular motion.
Additionally, things can be causes of one another, causing each other reciprocally, as hard work causes fitness and vice versa, although not in the same way or function, the one is as the beginning of change, the other as the goal. (Thus Aristotle first suggested a reciprocal or circular causality as a relation of mutual dependence or influence of cause upon effect). Moreover, Aristotle indicated that the same thing can be the cause of contrary effects; its presence and absence may result in different outcomes. Simply it is the goal or purpose that brings about an event (not necessarily a mental goal). Taking our two dominos, it requires someone to intentionally knock the dominos over as they cannot fall themselves.
Aristotle marked two modes of causation: proper (prior) causation and accidental (chance) causation. All causes, proper and incidental, can be spoken as potential or as actual, particular or generic. The same language refers to the effects of causes, so that generic effects assigned to generic causes, particular effects to particular causes, operating causes to actual effects. Essentially, causality does not suggest a temporal relation between the cause and the effect.
All further investigations of causality will consist of imposing the favorite hierarchies on the order causes, such as final > efficient > material > formal (Thomas Aquinas), or of restricting all causality to the material and efficient causes or to the efficient causality (deterministic or chance) or just to regular sequences and correlations of natural phenomena (the natural sciences describing how things happen instead of explaining the whys and wherefores).
There is also more specific kind of chance, which Aristotle names "luck", that can only apply to human beings, since it is in the sphere of moral actions. According to Aristotle, luck must involve choice (and thus deliberation), and only humans are capable of deliberation and choice. "What is not capable of action cannot do anything by chance".
With regard to the change (kinesis) and its causes now, as he defines in his Physics and On Generation and Corruption 319b-320a, he distinguishes the coming to be from: 1) growth and diminution, which is change in quantity; 2) locomotion, which is change in space; and 3) alteration, which is change in quality.
The coming to be is a change where nothing persists of which the resultant is a property. In that particular change he introduces the concept of potentiality (dynamis) and actuality (entelecheia) in association with the matter and the form.
Referring to potentiality, this is what a thing is capable of doing, or being acted upon, if it is not prevented by something else. For example, the seed of a plant in the soil is potentially (dynamei) plant, and if is not prevented by something, it will become a plant. Potentially beings can either 'act' (poiein) or 'be acted upon' (paschein), which can be either innate or learned. For example, the eyes possess the potentiality of sight (innate - being acted upon), while the capability of playing the flute can be possessed by learning (exercise - acting).
Actuality is the fulfillment of the end of the potentiality. Because the end (telos) is the principle of every change, and for the sake of the end exists potentiality, therefore actuality is the end. Referring then to our previous example, we could say that actuality is when the seed of the plant becomes a plant.
" For that for the sake of which a thing is, is its principle, and the becoming is for the sake of the end; and the actuality is the end, and it is for the sake of this that the potentiality is acquired. For animals do not see in order that they may have sight, but they have sight that they may see.
In conclusion, the matter of the house is its potentiality and the form is its actuality. The formal cause (aitia) then of that change from potential to actual house, is the reason (logos) of the house builder and the final cause is the end, namely the house itself. Then Aristotle proceeds and concludes that the actuality is prior to potentiality in formula, in time and in substantiality.
With this definition of the particular substance (i.e., matter and form), Aristotle tries to solve the problem of the unity of the beings, e.g., what is that makes the man one? Since, according to Plato there are two Ideas: animal and biped, how then is man a unity? However, according to Aristotle, the potential being (matter) and the actual one (form) are one and the same thing.
Aristotle's predecessor, Plato, argued that all things have a universal form, which could be either a property, or a relation to other things. When we look at an apple, for example, we see an apple, and we can also analyze a form of an apple. In this distinction, there is a particular apple and a universal form of an apple. Moreover, we can place an apple next to a book, so that we can speak of both the book and apple as being next to each other.
Plato argued that there are some universal forms that are not a part of particular things. For example, it is possible that there is no particular good in existence, but "good" is still a proper universal form. Bertrand Russell is a contemporary philosopher that agreed with Plato on the existence of "uninstantiated universals".
Aristotle disagreed with Plato on this point, arguing that all universals are instantiated. Aristotle argued that there are no universals that are unattached to existing things. According to Aristotle, if a universal exists, either as a particular or a relation, then there must have been, must be currently, or must be in the future, something on which the universal can be predicated. Consequently, according to Aristotle, if it is not the case that some universal can be predicated to an object that exists at some period of time, then it does not exist.
One way for contemporary philosophers to justify this position is by asserting the eleatic principle.
In addition, Aristotle disagreed with Plato about the location of universals. As Plato spoke of the world of the forms, a location where all universal forms subsist, Aristotle maintained that universals exist within each thing on which each universal is predicated. So, according to Aristotle, the form of apple exists within each apple, rather than in the world of the forms.
Aristotle is the earliest natural historian whose work has survived in some detail. Aristotle certainly did research on the natural history of Lesbos, and the surrounding seas and neighbouring areas. The works that reflect this research, such as History of Animals, Generation of Animals, and Parts of Animals, contain some observations and interpretations, along with sundry myths and mistakes. The most striking passages are about the sea-life visible from observation on Lesbos and available from the catches of fishermen. His observations on catfish, electric fish (Torpedo) and angler-fish are detailed, as is his writing on cephalopods, namely, Octopus, Sepia (cuttlefish) and the paper nautilus (Argonauta argo). His description of the hectocotyl arm was about two thousand years ahead of its time, and widely disbelieved until its rediscovery in the nineteenth century. He separated the aquatic mammals from fish, and knew that sharks and rays were part of the group he called Selachē (selachians).
Another good example of his methods comes from the Generation of Animals in which Aristotle describes breaking open fertilized chicken eggs at intervals to observe when visible organs were generated.
He gave accurate descriptions of ruminants' four-chambered fore-stomachs, and of the ovoviviparous embryological development of the hound shark Mustelus mustelus.
For Charles Singer, "Nothing is more remarkable than [Aristotle's] efforts to [exhibit] the relationships of living things as a scala naturae Aristotle's History of Animals classified organisms in relation to a hierarchical "Ladder of Life" (scala naturae), placing them according to complexity of structure and function so that higher organisms showed greater vitality and ability to move.
Aristotle believed that intellectual purposes, i.e., formal causes, guided all natural processes. Such a teleological view gave Aristotle cause to justify his observed data as an expression of formal design. Noting that "no animal has, at the same time, both tusks and horns," and "a single-hooved animal with two horns I have never seen," Aristotle suggested that Nature, giving no animal both horns and tusks, was staving off vanity, and giving creatures faculties only to such a degree as they are necessary. Noting that ruminants had a multiple stomachs and weak teeth, he supposed the first was to compensate for the latter, with Nature trying to preserve a type of balance.
In a similar fashion, Aristotle believed that creatures were arranged in a graded scale of perfection rising from plants on up to man, the scala naturae or Great Chain of Being. His system had eleven grades, arranged according "to the degree to which they are infected with potentiality", expressed in their form at birth. The highest animals laid warm and wet creatures alive, the lowest bore theirs cold, dry, and in thick eggs.
He placed emphasis on the type(s) of soul an organism possessed, asserting that plants possess a vegetative soul, responsible for reproduction and growth, animals a vegetative and a sensitive soul, responsible for mobility and sensation, and humans a vegetative, a sensitive, and a rational soul, capable of thought and reflection.
Aristotle, in contrast to earlier philosophers, but in accordance with the Egyptians, placed the rational soul in the heart, rather than the brain. Notable is Aristotle's division of sensation and thought, which generally went against previous philosophers, with the exception of Alcmaeon.
His analysis of procreation is frequently criticized on the grounds that it presupposes an active, ensouling masculine element bringing life to an inert, passive, lumpen female element; it is on these grounds that Aristotle is considered by some feminist critics to have been a misogynist.
Aristotle's successor at the Lyceum, Theophrastus, wrote a series of books on botany—the History of Plants—which survived as the most important contribution of antiquity to botany, even into the Middle Ages. Many of Theophrastus' names survive into modern times, such as carpos for fruit, and pericarpion for seed vessel.
Rather than focus on formal causes, as Aristotle did, Theophrastus suggested a mechanistic scheme, drawing analogies between natural and artificial processes, and relying on Aristotle's concept of the efficient cause. Theophrastus also recognized the role of sex in the reproduction of some higher plants, though this last discovery was lost in later ages.
The first medical teacher at Alexandria Herophilus of Chalcedon, corrected Aristotle, placing intelligence in the brain, and connected the circulatory system to motion and sensation. Herophilus also distinguished between skin and arteries, noting that the latter pulse while the former do not. Though a few modern atomists such as Lucretius challenged the teleological viewpoint of Aristotelian ideas about life, teleology (and after the rise of Christianity, natural theology) would remain central to biological thought essentially until the 18th and 19th centuries. Ernst Mayr claimed that there was "nothing of any real consequence in biology after Lucretius and Galen until the Renaissance. Aristotle's ideas of natural history and medicine survived, but they were generally taken unquestioningly.
Aristotle considered ethics to be a practical science, i.e., one mastered by doing rather than merely reasoning. Further, Aristotle believed that ethical knowledge is not certain knowledge (such as metaphysics or epistemology) but is general knowledge. He wrote several treatises on ethics, including most notably, Nichomachean Ethics, in which he outlines what is commonly called virtue ethics.
Aristotle taught that virtue has to do with the proper function of a thing. An eye is only a good eye in so much as it can see, because the proper function of an eye is sight. Aristotle reasoned that man must have a function uncommon to anything else, and that this function must be an activity of the soul. Aristotle identified the best activity of the soul as eudaimonia: a happiness or joy that pervades the good life. Aristotle taught that to achieve the good life, one must live a balanced life and avoid excess. This balance, he taught, varies among different persons and situations, and exists as a golden mean between two vices - one an excess and one a deficiency.
It should be noted that the modern understanding of a political community is that of the state. However, the state was foreign to Aristotle. He referred to political communities as cities. Aristotle understood a city as a political "partnership" and not one of a social contract (or compact) or a political community as understood by Niccolò Machiavelli. Subsequently, a city is created not to avoid injustice or for economic stability , but rather to live a good life: "The political partnership must be regarded, therefore, as being for the sake of noble actions, not for the sake of living together" . This can be distinguished from the social contract theory which individuals leave the state of nature because of "fear of violent death" or its "inconveniences.
While it is believed that Aristotle's Poetics comprised two books - one on comedy and one on tragedy - only the portion that focuses on tragedy has survived. Aristotle taught that tragedy is composed of six elements: plot-structure, character, style, spectacle, and lyric poetry. The characters in a tragedy are merely a means of driving the story; and the plot, not the characters, is the chief focus of tragedy. Tragedy is the imitation of action arousing pity and fear, and is meant to effect the catharsis of those same emotions. Aristotle concludes Poetics with a discussion on which, if either, is superior: epic or tragic mimesis. He suggests that because tragedy possesses all the attributes of an epic, possibly possesses additional attributes such as spectacle and music, is more unified, and achieves the aim of its mimesis in shorter scope, it can be considered superior to epic.
One major question in the history of Aristotle's works, then, is how were the exoteric writings all lost, and how did the ones we now possess come to us? The story of the original manuscripts of the esoteric treatises is described by Strabo in his Geography and Plutarch in his Parallel Lives. The manuscripts were left from Aristotle to his successor Theophrastus, who in turn willed them to Neleus of Scepsis. Neleus supposedly took the writings from Athens to Scepsis, where his heirs let them languish in a cellar until the first century BC, when Apellicon of Teos discovered and purchased the manuscripts, bringing them back to Athens. According to the story, Apellicon tried to repair some of the damage that was done during the manuscripts' stay in the basement, introducing a number of errors into the text. When Lucius Cornelius Sulla occupied Athens in 86 BC, he carried off the library of Apellicon to Rome, where they were first published in 60 BC by the grammarian Tyrranion of Amisus and then by philosopher Andronicus of Rhodes.
Carnes Lord attributes the popular belief in this story to the fact that it provides "the most plausible explanation for the rapid eclipse of the Peripatetic school after the middle of the third century, and for the absence of widespread knowledge of the specialized treatises of Aristotle throughout the Hellenistic period, as well as for the sudden reappearance of a flourishing Aristotelianism during the first century B.C. Lord voices a number of reservations concerning this story, however. First, the condition of the texts is far too good for them to have suffered considerable damage followed by Apellicon's inexpert attempt at repair. Second, there is "incontrovertible evidence," Lord says, that the treatises were in circulation during the time in which Strabo and Plutarch suggest they were confined within the cellar in Scepsis. Third, the definitive edition of Aristotle's texts seems to have been made in Athens some fifty years before Andronicus supposedly compiled his. And fourth, ancient library catalogues predating Andronicus' intervention list an Aristotelean corpus quite similar to the one we currently possess. Lord sees a number of post-Aristotelean interpolations in the Politics, for example, but is generally confident that the work has come down to us relatively intact.
As the influence of the falsafa grew in the West, in part due to Gerard of Cremona's translations and the spread of Averroism, the demand for Aristotle's works grew. William of Moerbeke translated a number of them into Latin. When Thomas Aquinas wrote his theology, working from Moerbeke's translations, the demand for Aristotle's writings grew and the Greek manuscripts returned to the West, stimulating a revival of Aristotelianism in Europe, and ultimately revitalizing European thought through Muslim influence in Spain to fan the embers of the Renaissance.
It is the opinion of many that Aristotle's system of thought remains the most influential one ever put together by any single mind. According to historian Will Durant, no other philosopher has contributed so much to the enlightenment of the world. He single-handedly founded the sciences of Logic, Biology and Psychology. At the opposite pole, Bertrand Russell dismissed much of Aristotle's work as not particularly profound.
The immediate influence of Aristotle's work was felt as the Lyceum grew into the Peripatetic school. Aristotle's notable students included Aristoxenus, Dicaearchus, Demetrius of Phalerum, Eudemos of Rhodes, Harpalus, Hephaestion, Meno, Mnason of Phocis, Nicomachus, and Theophrastus. (Alexander's tutelage under Aristotle should also be mentioned here, though it is unclear what the influence of this relationship was.)
Aristotle is referred to as "The Philosopher" by Scholastic thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas. See Summa Theologica, Part I, Question 3, etc. These thinkers blended Aristotelian philosophy with Christianity, bringing the thought of Ancient Greece into the Middle Ages. It required a repudiation of some Aristotelian principles for the sciences and the arts to free themselves for the discovery of modern scientific laws and empirical methods. The medieval English poet Chaucer describes his student as being happy by having
The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche has been said to have taken nearly all of his political philosophy from Aristotle. However implausible this is, it is certainly the case that Aristotle's rigid separation of action from production, and his justification of the subservience of slaves and others to the virtue - or arete - of a few justified the ideal of aristocracy. It is Martin Heidegger, not Nietzsche, who elaborated a new interpretation of Aristotle, intended to warrant his deconstruction of scholastic and philosophical tradition. More recently, Alasdair MacIntyre has attempted to reform what he calls the Aristotelian tradition in a way that is anti-elitist and capable of disputing the claims of both liberals and Nietzscheans.

This quilt has been a favorite on our couch for a month now (unbound!) and I just keep forgetting to take a picture of it….so this will have to do. I made this quilt for my boys because my chain reaction quilt was looking pretty worn….and Ben requested a "soft" quilt. So soft it is, with a bright blue minkee on the back (bought locally).
I sent this quilt to Christina for quilting. I'm sure she was cursing my name during the process as it took some trial and error to get the set up right….but I sure love the quilting.
I used some random fabrics and bright solids for this one. I wanted it to have a playful, summery, boy look without being baby-ish. This was my own pattern….which hopefully will be published in the coming months when I get in the writing mood. :)
We finally joined the hex bug craze….and they are SO.MUCH.FUN. I think I like them more than my kids. I've spent hours on the floor playing with those silly bugs and ignoring my household duties. :)

Reality TV stars visit Workington shop
Last updated at 20:01, Thursday, 31 May 2012
A crowd of star-struck fans descended on a Workington clothes shop after two celebrities were seen shopping there.
Sophie Kasaei and James Tindale, from the reality TV show Geordie Shore, dropped in at The Fashion Lounge on Jane Street last Thursday.
News soon got out, and about 100 fans turned up to get autographs and pictures.
The pair were in town to make a public appearance at the nearby Chasers bar.
Daniel Couzens, The Fashion Lounge director, sent a Twitter message to James to see if he would go to the shop.
Sales have rocketed after James bought several T-shirts from the Dead Legacy and Fly 53 brands sold there. Sophie bought two dresses, a jacket, handbag and earrings.
Karen Couzens, Daniel's mother and shop owner, said: "We have sold a lot of the T-shirts that James bought and we have had to restock these brands."
She said Sophie had expressed an interest in opening her own fashion boutique in South Shields and had been asking for tips.
Leanne Hunter, sales assistant, said: "It was great. They both loved the shop."

Have your say
I agree with Andy, i would definatley rather see the Meerkats, anyday.Certainly more personality.
I would sooner have seen the Meerkats from the TV advert than these 'Who are they, never heard of' characters.
Big deal.

For first-year and transfer students.
Associate and bachelor's degree programs for men and women 4 full years out of high school.
Elementary, middle level and secondary certification for men and women with a bachelor's degree.
Skip to Page Content
This major is designed for students who are interested in pursuing employment in the field of Exercise and Sport Science. Students completing the required core courses in the major will be able to implement preventative health programs in private, corporate, commercial, and community settings. The major also prepares interested students for graduate work in exercise physiology, exercise science, sport medicine, kinesiology, physical therapy, or athletic training.
The Exercise and Sport Science major can be completed with the designated core courses or students may also choose to complete the optional track in psychology. The major has been designed to address the knowledge, skills, and abilities recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for certification by ACSM as Personal Trainer, Health/Fitness Instructor or Exercise Specialist. The ACSM certifications require that students hold a related undergraduate degree in a health and fitness curriculum as well as successful completion of an examination that includes both written and practical components.
There are two components to the major, the Summit Health Articulation Agreement and the Eden Hall Fitness Center, that add unique additional opportunities for students in the major.
In December of 1999, Wilson sealed an agreement with Summit Health (Chambersburg Hospital, Waynesboro Hospital, Results Fitness and Physical Therapy) to work together to implement the Exercise and Sport Science Major. This agreement makes available to Wilson students, all of the human, professional, and technical resources of Summit Health. It also provides opportunities for students to volunteer or intern with any of the many departments. We have utilized this articulation agreement to provide speakers and to observe physical, respiratory, cardiac and occupational therapists. Specialists in diabetes education, women's health issues, nutrition, resistance training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, cardiac and respiratory rehabilitation, regularly make presentations to our majors. As part of the laboratory component of the ESS 220 and 222, students also visit many of the departments.
As part of ESS 320 "Administrative Aspects of Exercise and Sport Science". ESS majors designed a survey which they conduct every other year. The survey was developed at the request of Summit Health, to poll local (within 30 miles) fitness centers regarding their staff, programs and facilities. This information is collated and sent to Summit Health where the information is formatted and made available to all physicians in the area to use as a reference for referral of their patients.
Eden Hall Fitness Center
The Eden Hall Fitness Center opened its doors in the Fall of 2002. One of the objectives for the center was to provide a laboratory opportunity for students in the major where they would have first-hand experience in running a fitness center. All majors work or volunteer in the fitness center. Senior majors supervise and run the center with the assistance of the ESS faculty. Majors gain experience in scheduling and in-service training staff, running promotional or thematic programs, designing bulletin boards, researching topics for bulletin board displays, inventorying, screening, testing and designing exercise programs. This is a very large experiential component of the major.

Denver is the commercial, financial, industrial, and government center for Colorado and a seven-state region of Rocky Mountain and western Plains states. The city and its surrounding area continue to be one of our favorite large cities, and the list of reasons is large; however, crowding and growth is taking its toll.
The downtown area is vibrant, functional and attractive, one of the best downtowns in the country in our view as a business center, an attraction for local residents, and a place to live. More than most US cities today, people want to live close to downtown, and good city neighborhoods combine with new housing in former industrial areas adjacent to downtown and the South Platte River to make it possible. The "LoDo," or Lower Downtown area just to the northwest of the main downtown features renovated late 19th century commercial and factory buildings repurposed into small business, entertainment and shopping venues, accessible, walkable and livable at all times. This area is anchored by the nicely restored Denver Union Station rail terminal, and the crown jewel is the industrial revival-style Coors Field ballpark. It is one of the finest urban-core restorations in the country.
South of that area, also along the water, are new museums, a new convention center, excellent performing arts venues and new sports facilities adding to the life and utility of the downtown area. Beyond downtown and mainly east and south is a patchwork of older neighborhoods with desirable early-20th-century housing, mixed with a few well-spaced high rises. The city spreads into suburbs in all directions and especially east and south with varying living environments, but most suburban areas are attractive and well connected to downtown. All of this, of course, is in view of the main Rocky Mountain ridges, bringing picture postcard vistas on most days except when smog and haze occasionally take over.
All services and amenities are of the first order. Air service at the new Denver International Airport, the hub of discount carrier Frontier Airlines, is plentiful, although the facility is not conveniently located for most local residents. The old Stapleton airport 5 miles east of downtown is undergoing a massive residential and commercial redevelopment and may turn out to be another area crown jewel. The Rockies to the west offer unlimited recreational opportunities, including skiing, hiking, fishing, and watersports. A unique "Snow Train" service takes skiers to Winter Park and other resorts. Museums, performing arts, libraries, bookstores, and professional sports are abundant and more accessible than in comparable places. The historical heritage of the city and region is interesting and well preserved. New gambling venues have revived such mining ghost towns to the west as Central City and Blackhawk; whether this is a tasteful use of historic sites brings different opinions.
Suburbs offer a lot of attractive living choices and environments in all price ranges. Many have good town centers of their own and plenty of local employment, especially those near the Denver Tech Center to the south. Close to the city, the Cherry Creek area and the Park Hill neighborhood east of the large "City Park" offer excellent living just a few miles from the downtown core. South of town the large suburbs of Littleton and Centennial offer good schools and housing, and still further south Castle Rock offers family living in more of a country setting, though growth in this direction has been maybe a little too rapid. Aurora, to the east is very large but rather featureless, as is Lakewood to the west. The other more attractive suburbs lie to the northwest towards Boulder – Arvada, Westminster, Lafayette, and Louisville. The latter two are in Boulder County and actually covered under Boulder. These suburbs are self-contained towns with a strong country feel and plenty of local employment.
Denver's many attractions continue to lure new residents. Population grew 54% from 1990 to 2005 and is showing no signs of slowing. The impact is starting to show in cost of living, now at a borderline high 108. The good news: costs have stayed relatively constant, given this pressure, compared especially to other large cities and other Western locations. Despite persistent efforts to keep the downtown attractive, urban sprawl has generated traffic, long commute times, and smog, particularly in the summer months and particularly along the I-25 north-south corridor. The economic picture is still favorable but not without risk, and the area is stimulating and relatively affordable for a big city. The downsides of commutes, air quality and some cost factors brought a drop in ranking, but we like Denver more than the figure indicates.
The city lies at the western edge of the undulating high prairie that extends east towards Kansas. The front wall of the Rockies rises abruptly west of town with numerous stream valleys and canyons converging in the South Platte River. The invigorating continental climate, typical of the Rocky Mountain region, brings frequent changes, but only short durations of extremely warm or cold weather.
Situated a long distance from any moisture source and separated from the Pacific Ocean by several high mountain barriers, Denver enjoys low relative humidity, light precipitation, and abundant sunshine. Summer days are warm with occasional thundershowers and cool evenings. Severe weather is usually confined to areas farther east. The mountains shelter the area from the strongest winter storms and cold air blasts, but fall and spring usually bring at least one snowstorm. Spring is the cloudiest and wettest season. First freeze is early October, last is late May.

Eisenhower Sleep Disorder Center
The Eisenhower Sleep Disorder Center provides a full range of testing for sleep apnea, narcolepsy, 24-hour monitoring of seizure patients, periodic limb movements, and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep behavior disorder. The Eisenhower team of medical professionals, under the direction of a Registered Nurse, has all completed formal training in sleep disorders. The team includes Registered Sleep Technologists, Respiratory Therapists and Registered Neurodiagnostic Technologists. Staffing ratios are set to the AASM required level of one technologist for each two patients.
Clinical studies include diagnostic polysomnograms (sleep studies), CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure machine) titration studies, multiple sleep latency tests, maintenance of wakefulness tests and CPAP management services. Patients arrive at the Center between 8 and 9 p.m. and are discharged when they have awakened naturally. The Center also accommodates patients who have difficulty driving at night.
Portable Home Sleep Monitoring
Portable Home Sleep Monitoring provides clinically diagnostic polysomnograms. Portable Home Sleep Monitoring is ideal for patients with sleep apnea and for whom an overnight sleep stay at the Center is difficult. The Home Sleep Monitor studies everything that is measured in the Center with the exception of monitoring of the legs.
In particular, Portable Home Sleep Monitoring is designed for caregivers, people with pets, or individuals who must remain at home. Patients take the portable unit home for one, two or three nights, depending upon the length of the sleep study. The home monitoring system may not be suitable for individuals with multiple health problems or sleep disorders beyond sleep apnea.
Eisenhower Sleep Disorder Center services have been expanded to offer day studies and PAP-NAPs. The PAP-NAP is a procedure during which sleep technologists work several hours during the daytime with sleep patients to provide behavioral assessment and coaching as well as physiological exposure to pressurized airflow. Patients actually enjoy the opportunity to choose the mask that they are most comfortable with, and the opportunity to test the mask with a two-hour, afternoon PAP-NAP.
Getting people to acclimate and tolerate C-PAP is difficult, and industry-wide the success rate is only 60 percent. However, at the Eisenhower Sleep Disorder Center, the PAP-NAP has been extremely successful, with an 80 percent success rate for those patients who have failed CPAP in the past.
To contact the Eisenhower Sleep Disorder Center, please call 760-773-1411.

Sharing some sound advicePosted by on November 19, 2012 – 7:36 pm
Enjoying a four-course meal at an upscale restaurant is not something that happens often for inner city school students, but on Monday night it did for some football players from Perry Traditional Academy, part of the Pittsburgh Public School system, thanks to the efforts of Steelers Chris Carter and Jonathan Dwyer.
The high school players took part in a mentoring session that Carter and Dwyer hosted at Capital Grille in Pittsburgh, rewarding them for their achievements on and off the field and providing them encouragement to continue to become better individuals and athletes.
"It was for kids from the inner city schools who might not be as privileged as others," said Carter. "I grew up like that so it hits home with me. They are going through some things and sometimes they don't have the resources or the people to talk to, sometimes you don't know anybody who is in the situation where you want to be.
"Growing up I had big dreams to be in the NFL but I didn't have anybody to talk to. I remember how much I would have appreciated someone mentoring me, giving me advice and guidance. That is what we are trying to do, help these kids by talking about relationships, family, school and dedication to their sport. All of that is necessary to get to this level and contribute to their success. We want to give them something to think about."
Dwyer and Carter let the young men ask them whatever questions they wanted, and they were able to answer them from someone who was once in their shoes.
"It was an opportunity for us to spend time with kids who look up to us for guidance and want a role model to help them," said Dwyer. "It was a chance for us to give advice to these kids. I wish I would have had the opportunity to meet guys at the level I am playing at to get their advice and sit down and meet with them and get that extra edge to live my dream as well."
While they shared the hard work and dedication it took to get to where they are today, the players were also forthcoming sharing some of the pitfalls along the way, assuring them that while you might stumble, you can always get back up again.
"We opened up and let them know we are normal people and you just have to work hard to get to where you are," said Carter. "But the biggest thing is them understanding we made plenty of mistakes and you can rebound from them. You are never stuck in a situation, you can always get out. Coach (Mike) Tomlin tells us all of the time how do you get out of a hole. The first step is to stop digging and the second step is to stand up. You are never stuck in a situation. There is always a way out.
"That is what we wanted to get across to them. They might not have the support they need, might have different distractions, everybody lives a different life, but there is still a path for them to get to the top and get to where they want to be."

I would even put money into a pool towards banning certain members I severely dislike (not on grounds of political opinion in RWI but purely because they constantly make stupid troll posts), but then that is a slippery slope that could just as well back fire.
Hmm, interesting thought. What if a subscriber could 'vote down' a poster? Can only 'down vote' a particular poster once. And if that poster got to a certain number of 'down votes', they would get a temp ban, and escalate from there? Might help keep down on some of the trolling ... moderation by committee.

Was easily better last year. Had 6 goals 9 assists and he's only half both this season (I think anyway, I can't recall any more than 3.)
England has always had great youth squads but when they're supposed to go into prime age they're nothing more than decent/good. We need a new Gerrard or Scholes quick
Dunno if he's injured ask Akbar lol

|Get Healthy America!™
Kosher Diet and Weight Loss Meals
Eggplant Rollatini – 260 calories
The name of the product certainly does catch ones attention. Add to that—it is diet friendly, heat and serve, and kosher—a winning combination. Prepared healthy meals for those who wish to concentrate on their dietary needs are indeed scarce when kashrut is a consideration.
Get Healthy America, located in Plainview, New York, was founded and is owned by Debbie Cohen. Her goal was to create a line of healthy, kosher and single serve meals that taste good. It was always a dream of Debbie's to create her own line of foods and be able to help people who need a quick, tasty and healthy meal. She had lost a lot of weight on her own and felt that she was able to help others do so as well.
Started over eleven years ago, the company has developed an extensive variety of healthy diet meals that are made with fresh, wholesome ingredients, and contain no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. They are low fat, have no trans fats and also include gluten free and wheat free selections. The single–serve portions are 10 to 13 ounces and contain 330 calories or less. Keep them in the freezer and pop into the microwave and you have a meal in minutes.
Debbie sent KosherEye several meals to sample; they arrived in their frozen state and we put them directly into the freezer. We tried them for both lunch and dinner and found them to be easy to prepare, convenient, eye appealing, filling, and most important – very good! We especially loved the Vegetarian Meatless Chili with Beans and Brown Rice, Turkey Vegetable Meatloaf and Eggplant Rollatini.
The Get Healthy America meals have breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack categories. They are ideal for someone who is on a diet – just like the weight loss programs advertised on TV, which offer prepared meal plans. If you have a family member, or visitor, with special dietary issues, keep some of these meals in your freezer. If you work, or are very busy, and want to maintain a healthy life style and have few options for lunch, this is for you. Or best of all, just keep healthy One Meal at a Time, and have these in your freezer.
All products are certified kosher by either the OU or Star K.
The Get Healthy America products are available for purchase in their Plainview, NY retail store and in many supermarkets in the New York metropolitan area. A second retail store in Roslyn, NY will be opening in the next few weeks.
For more product information or to order, visit their website, GetHealthyAmerica.com. Get Healthy America ships nationwide.
