In 1904, the summer colonies at Bayville and Murray Hill, both on Linekin Bay in the Boothbay region, built a casino on the water at the end of Murray Hill Road. By the mid 1910s, when this photograph was taken, a the Linekin Bay Yacht Club was formed and a steamboat wharf was built southwest from the casino. This photograph was taken on the occasion of a regatta held at the yacht club. In July 1913 the Linekin Bay Yacht Club hosted the Boston Yacht Club during a regatta and Fete Days, with motor boat races, clambakes, luncheons, and a dance.

If the first version of The Telegraph on iPad was a good rehearsal for its editorial ambitions on tablets, the second version, launched in May, really explores the full possibilities of the device. The second Telegraph's app proves readers are willing to pay for the content they need said Nic Newman, the Managing Director EMEA, TigerSpike during the WAN-IFRA's 4th international e-reading and tablet conference in Vienna.

I recently wrote this paper for a graduate class in the humanities. I had to read Plato's "Symposium", which is a story in which Socrates sits down with 6 other men for a night of drinking when one of them suggests that to compliment the drinking they each ought to take turns praising the god of love, Eros, in their own particular fashion. My paper focuses on the role of thumos, or spirit, in Plato's understanding of love and of the Good, and argues that instead of the Good being equated with the Beautiful as Plato seems to conclude, that rather it is the human spirit itself (thumos) which ought to perform this basic function.
Enjoy, if you dare!

So "Wanderer" I've been considering the implications of this ancient piece of text, and have started considering my own concept of Good~ needless to say, the mathematical route I was just trying became to convoluded~ but now looking at my writing, I'm starting to realign the parameters of my thesis to be "what constitutes goodness" in its full scope, from the psyche of the individual (I have Alcibiades to thank for that) to society as a whole. It strikes me, looking at what I've done, how so many people want to reduce it to a few core values or causes~ it certainly isn't anything like that, however, and looking now its not so hard to realize how morality and "goodness" has developed along with our species. I've tried creating a graph or display of some sort to convey the processes, but I'm now certain that it wouldn't be two dimensional, but spherical in the third dimension (sort of like a geodesic dome). maybe this is something that can be tackled as a group, although from what I can tell I have to core factors figured out~ trying to assign mathematical properties to them was a bitch for someone how never got past algebra 2.
Still reading your thesis~ taking the notes on it, like I have been, is really what's holding me up so far. Maybe I'll post what I have written down at this point... maybe...
I don't think we can talk in terms of ultimate anything.
For what of better terminology I'll use my husbands saying – we get a piece of shit and knock it into shape.
What I mean by this is that while we might imagine some great love – they are all transient sensations – that lead us to conceptualise a meaning of love.
People often break up relationships because they say they fell out of love – what's that all about?
Then you've got those who say love is a verb – something that we show in our caring actions towards others – partners, family, friends…
Then you've got romantic love and 'pure' love – of a child or your grandmother or something.
I know we're dealing with philosophy here – but I like to break it down into physical events – such as hormone releases and primal drives.
I'll have a read – I felt a sense of panic when the word thesis was mentioned – as I'm not sure I've got time to read a whole book right now… : ) but I'll give it a shot – and might read a bit and come back with thoughts to ponder and discuss as I go along – as I don't think I need to read the whole thing before posting – in order to stimulate interesting, thought provoking, meaningful and therefore valuable discussion.
I don't think that love can be transcending in any way to reach a permanent and everlasting state.
Other than in the sense that we all might return to this same state from time to time throughout our lives.
Our biological and scientific understanding has grown so much since this was written – that it is rendered quite obsolete – although there is value in understanding it in it's own terms in order to perhaps gain what they were implying in their discussions.
All our physiological hormonal reactions are meaningful in as much as they are useful to our survival – meaning to our interactions with others as well as protective from harm and starvation.
Our hormones produce the commonly named emotions that we all feel – but they are not based on an exact science to my knowledge. It's all very subjective – hormonal quantities and perception is slightly different in us all.
I've had some interesting changes myself in how my hormones are released by changing my thinking about topics and seeing things from a different perspective.
"What the bleep" although fanciful in many respects does have some interesting concepts – if you can weed out the crap.
Daniel Quinn comments in his book My Ishmael – that our more ancient ways of living were more in line with accepting our good and bad ways – our aggressive and disruptive behaviours were to be expressed on raids to neighbouring 'tribes' and our nice behaviour to be kept for our own tribe – for shared protection and hunting. In other words – our closed groups lent themselves to keeping all our good feelings – now we aren't allowed to express our bad feelings – because it's not so easy to find the boarder of our larger countries to cross over and do some damage to vent or express our bad feelings.
Again Plato seems caught up with designing some ideal notion of emotional expression. We do what we do because it works, not because it is an ideal creation, notion or invention.
Notions of courage or dishonour are value judgements – not real states – although someone might feel shamed if called un courageous. People try out strategies until they find one that works – they might try a few each time and find that one or two work or none in which case they become more inventive or die out.
Are you implying that Navy Seals are all homosexuals?
It seems to me here that Phaedrus talks of creating an army to kill based in honour and love?
A tribe certainly has that bond – they love each other and without each other will die – so they fight to the death in war as they will die anyhow without their tribe.
Also this points to the idea that we are sheep – we follow each other – if one screams we all start screaming and so on…
It seems here that they talk about the idea of social constructs that shame people into being selfless.
So shame as key to virtue?
I disagree – shame is the key to resentment and anger.
Looks like these guys are just trying to work out ways to control others though extrinsic motivations that they can internalise and become self regulating – such as shame, fear, guilt, obligation, duty…
It seems that they have the belief that without these extrinsic motivations humans would have no reason to be good?
It's all a construct though isn't it? I mean they take it that Alcibiades is really running from himself and is acting cowardly – but perhaps he just got sick of the crap and saw someone he fancied heading past the door and thought he might have a go and chat them up?
How can anyone know how are person gains their self value? We all have different levels of personal value based in many different things – all unique – and all equally open to misinterpretation.
I used to value myself as a child because I knew my parents loved me and therefore I must be valuable. Then as a teenager – this seemed to fade – so what now was my value? Basically I became valuable for giving sex to others – not a great position to be in. Once I'd found a loving and caring mate – my value was then in question – I needed then to contribute to society to feel valuable – so I did voluntary work in many areas – then I needed to prove something to myself so I went to university – to proof I had some intellectual value – then had children and felt I had no value because I wasn't happy in my role. I've since regained value from being able to be supportive to my husband, my children and my community.
Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?
Worthiness is totally conditionally dependant – and therefore is subjective opinion.
I think we can add much to their debate – as they still seem quite immersed in supernatural thinking about reality.
If we don't accept our primal instincts as natural normal and acceptable then we will have problems being virtuous – as we may aim to suppress the sop called dark side without understanding it's role. This only seems to come up when we create a society that must be the peacekeepers – as opposed to using our traditional methods of peacekeeping – the erratic retaliation strategy which is self regulating and IMO part of our primal instincts.
We only lose ourselves into a bad mood of anger, rage or frustration, in context to our conscious mind which falsely believes that it is in control of our selves – it's not – we are driven mainly by our unconscious primal brain and instincts.
We well might be aggressive when we perceive a threat to ourselves – there are many threats and we need some mechanism of protection – hence we still survive as a species – without it we might die out.
The language of non-violent communication might assist in situations where goals are in conflict – in that if we can talk about our needs – then we can better be creative together about how we can mutually meet our needs without anger, disgust or harm to others.
Shame required for moral behaviour – that's why I hate that word - moral!
I've found that the longer I've maintain the same situation the less strong emotions I've felt – in terms of shame pride etc… I've come to a much more balanced place – where I feel secure with my situation and can trust the responses that I'll get. Not many have this luxury. Most these days have numerous partners, house mates, friends changing and jobs changing meaning that they are in continual changing circumstances – not allowing them to feel secure and settle with their self value.
I defiantly protect and feed my children because I see them as extensions of me. In this way the boundaries of identity are blurred.
I think that Alfie Kohn's Unconditional Parenting has much to contribute about the value of reason.
Why do we need to distinguish between worthy and unworthy people? perhaps because the society they live in is one that values products and not support.
Meaning that value is subjective based on what support that person has given you in your life and what relationship you have with them, that is mutually beneficial. Worthiness again is not universal.
Again self esteem is based on many factors internal and external – and isn't actually something that is constant – it might at times not exist if we aren't thinking about it at that moment. but in the next we might feel bad, then in the next feel good again – like a river flowing always changing.
I think it's normal to love our 'tribe' our close family and friends. It's normal to compete with anyone outside of that tribe.
All tribes are different and all tribes have different values and ideas of beauty. What is beautiful for one tribe is ugly to another. It's OK to have difference. The lie that is told to us in our mother culture – the ones that lock away the food so we are forced to work in this prison – also believe that there is only one right way to live – this is not true – based on this believe they have played annihilator all over the planet – you have 3 choices, assimilation, reservation or death – and then we lock up your food and force you to work in our system.
Perhaps if we want to make people behave better and act more morally, we should stop being so ridiculous and accept that we are here because we worked – ways that didn't work died out and so we are left perfectly designed to work the way we are without modification or improvement.
These ideas of improvement are very recently in our history – 3 million years of evolution and about 3,000 years ago we had our 'lock up the food' revolution and now think that everyone is to be improved!
Deep seated cultural perception that our culture doesn't have wisdom about how to live.
Identifying our culture – all the food is owned and under lock and key.
Putting food under lock and key is one of the cornerstones of our economy. Because if the food wasn't who would work?
Second way to identify our culture – they perceive themselves to be members of a race that is fundamentally flawed and inherently doomed to suffering and misery. We perceive wisdom is rare, we're surrounded by bad things and we live unsustainable lives.
Our utopian / idealistic systems would work if people were better than they are – traditional systems (3,000 years ago +) worked with people how they are; unimproved, unenlightened, troublesome, disruptive, selfish, mean, cruel, greedy, and violent – our modern mother culture systems aim to rely upon trying to improve people – as brought in about 3,000 years ago when we started to lock up the food.
A big effort Aaron. Well done. I was quite relieved that it wasn't a book! only 8,000 words or so – easy to get through…. : )
So to add a little bit more to this idea of Thumos or "spirit" - I just wrote a little bit (as a response to someone on A|N) about how we might be more understanding of religious people if we can properly understand what they call "spirituality", "energy", or even "soul" in terms of thumotic motivation (well, I left out the Thumos part). Here is an edited version of what I wrote:
I've been working recently on an interpretation of "spirit" which, to us atheists, just means "motivation", but this concept, I believe, strikes at the heart of both the essence of values and is the direct cause of the inuitive "understanding" religious or "spiritual" people have of "energy" or "life-force". Motivation just is the life-force, the matter and energy set in motion which drives us, propels us, and urges us onwards towards all that is good and worthwhile in and about life. If you don't think this explanation is too "woo", which is how some people of a mind different than my own would feel, then perhaps this could serve as both a good explanation of this belief that your soon-to-be-ex-wife holds, and you could even let your daughter know that her mother is not completely off the deep end, but rather that she has taken something from reality and devised an explanation for it as best as she could, only her methods are seriously lacking. Some things are better understood if you understand the motivations (ah, there's that word again!) behind them. And it can actually help us to be so understanding. If I am right about this whole "motivation" thing, then this "strange energy wiccans believe in" is really something quite valuable if properly understood. If there is nothing wrong (or even something to be gained) from entertaining the idea of the life-force, or whatever you want to call it, and if you believe as I do that we can tap into our deepest motivations and desires to foster our life-force and enhance our motivations to their highest degrees, then perhaps this can work out just fine as a type of atheist "spirituality", one which can help us to engage with religious people more on their own terms and one which could help your daughter to understand and even get closer to (or even rescue!) her mother from the absurdities of irrational thought.
And now I've finally gotten back to the real point of this group, which is ways to convince believers or fence-walkers, or at least ways to argue our case using the terms of the believers themselves. I recently responded to a girl's post here who said she is doing a final project for her senior year in high school on presenting the case for atheism to her largely theist (I'm assuming Christian) classmates. Here is the relevant part of my response:
On the topic of spirit, this seems (to me anyway) to be especially relevant to both a believer's beliefs and to morality and values. People have this vague idea of morality being associated with some "essence" of their character, something which speaks to them through their conscience. But while they see this as something supernatural, we obviously think that it is something natural, and something we likely have evolved to have. Animals display moral behavior as well. But getting more to my point, this thing called "spirit" or, worse, "soul", may be a manifestation of some deep set of motivations which may very well be interpreted as a "life-force" or an energy which drives us to live well. I think this is just a natural outcome of living things needing to be highly motivated and needing to feel powerfully motivated by life, and to feel it as deeply as if it were some amazing power which permeates "all of existence", simply as a matter of survival and natural selection.
There are some, maybe many people even here on this site who might dismiss all this as woo. I hope you're not one of them. My point is this. Play some rock music, get everyone going, and then express why we atheists can feel this powerful motivation coursing through our veins just as well as (if not better than) any religious or spiritual person. Tell them that this desire to be, to live and live well, and to be strong and to be a member of a strong group may just provide the foundations for morality and for all values. Tell them being good may be just what is good for life here on this planet, and that we need not appeal to the supernatural any longer to feel value and to feel motivated to be good people, for ourselves and the people we care about. Tell them that this drive may help explain why we feel we should be good even to people or animals or all living things, even if we don't know them or expect any reward other than personal satisfaction of fulfilling that deep psycho-biological drive to foster life and creativity. Tell them that happiness is a terrific motivator, and that sorrow dampens the motivation for life, and that we all desire to spread happiness and alleviate sorrow. Tell them all this, and they may see that we have a lot more in common with each other than they thought, that we are not "of the devil" or any such absurdities, and that they are welcome to join you in this life for this life, and maybe you've got a chance at really convincing a few people. But don't expect any miracles. ;-)
Here's another response, this one to a user's question if there was such a thing as a "power of thought":
I think we all can experience a power, an energy, a "life-force", or a "spirit", and that this is just something natural and not supernatural at all. It seems to me that we have evolved to feel powerful motivations for living life well, for believing ourselves to be good and worthwhile, for feeling like we have a sense of purpose and a meaning to our lives, purely as a matter of survival of the fittest. Obviously organisms who experience life this way would have a survival advantage over organisms who didn't, or who lacked such convictions, or were ambivalent about whether they were "good" and life was worth living. There is definitely a power in feeling and believing positively and creatively about oneself.
Meh. I would disagree with all of that, except for the first sentence. I subscribe to what I call a "socio-environmental" theory of human adaptation (evolution) wherein as our species becomes more interconnected socially, our society itself replaces our physical environment as the stimulus of which we adapt to~ really though, its sophisticated self-domestication. The concept of a "good-life" is derived entirely from our societal paradigms, and its value to the "self" is manifest in the human esteem. Esteem likely developed due to the emerging proto-society, where the view of the collective is important to the individual due to the developing need to "fit in." The more an individual is "in" the more cohesion and benefit they reap from the group, necessitating that a function to gauge said approval or disapproval form to aid in the individuals social interaction. Internalizing this notion would be the most efficient, making it a primal drive common to humans and thus enhancing the society in return; this creates a cyclical pattern that fuels itself~ where the society reinforces the individuals drive to belong (through incentive) and conversely, that internalized drive homogenizes the group, making it more cohesive.
The "sense of purpose" mentioned above is merely the emotional response to this inherent drive to achieve "normality" and inclusion, for when it is examined from an outside perspective, it is quite true that the only purpose we have is to our species itself. Outside of that context, human life is meaningless~ just as an individual ants life is meaningless, or a moose or any other creature.
I detest the use of words like "obviously," for it seems an attempt to bully the reader into accepting the following claim. The statement that follows is pure assertion for two reasons~ one being that whether an individual considers themselves good doesn't correlate to living a worthwhile life. There are many people who have lived lives that were known not to be good, but continued in their own self-interest; in short, the societal paradigm of a "good" life has little bearing on whether an individual would consider it "worthwhile." Consider Gypsies, who lived outside of societal norm and had transient lifestyles, both of which would be neither "good" or "worthwhile," and yet continued to persist on the fringes of society. Maybe this first point is turning into a rant.. I guess, in short, my issues with that are that "good" and "worthwhile" are subjective, and thus shouldn't be universalized.
I disagree with the polarized sentiment of the last sentence in that response as well. A "power?" Be more explicit (whoever wrote that). Am I to assume they mean there is definitely a benefit to believing positively and creatively about oneself? Well, in that case, yes and no. It works to an extent, but too much (which can be common) will actually work against the individual within a society~ we call it Narcissism.
A few quick replies. First of all I entirely agree that the use of the word obviously is bad form, however this is not the way I would write if I was shooting for philosophical precision. But you're right, this claim may be far less obvious than I made it seem. I'll come back to this one.
What I really want to get at is your competing theory, what you call a "socio-environmental theory of human adaptation". Before I really get into breaking this down, I would first point out that we are speaking across each other. I am talking about a theory of values, and you are responding with a theory about metaphysics. I may for example agree with you that much (if not all) of our evolution is dependent on fitting into the social environment rather than the natural environment, and yet still argue that value (and thus the values of society) is something which is based in the desire to think positively about oneself and one's society. You seem to be making a separate moral claim, and this is what I want to flesh out.
You may be making one of two or three separate moral claims. First, you may be saying that morality and values are completely subjective and relative. But if this is the claim, then whether we want to accept being "more socially interconnected" is completely up-for-grabs; there would be just as much of a chance of any given individual accepting the opposite as the basis for his values, and this would render your claim about values being dependent on social interconnectedness invalid. Which leads me to believe that you are rather saying that values just are fitting in to a society, and any society is just as good as any other. This also presents an absurd conclusion, since then it is no more likely that a society based on more Western values of secularism, science, reason, democracy, truth, justice, etc., are any better than a society antithetical to these goals. They would just be different. But I don't think this is what you would argue either. So you see my need for clarity on your position.
It is also possible that you may be arguing a more nihilist perspective, or some difficult-to-conceive-of combination of any of the preceding theories. I would suggest we begin with the two distinctions I began with. We need to know whether values is something objective, subjective, or somewhere in between (as in, a little from both). You seem to be making the claim that values are completely subjective, which if you are, I will attempt to show you the absurdity of such a position (as I have already begun to do so). Secondly, we need to know whether values are completely relative, or if they are absolute. This is the more important distinction I think. We may very well both agree that values are completely relative, and I think if we do so this would go a long way towards explaining why someone might be tempted to conflate the two distinctions and conclude that values must also be completely subjective. But one might argue instead, as I do, that values are completely relative (and then come up with a sophisticated way of fleshing out what this means), and yet then argue that values are also neither completely objective or completely subjective, but rather somewhere in between, i.e. a little of both. Drawing all of this out is a perhaps a bit of a chore, but it seems to be a necessary one for any serious discussion on the theory of values.
What I'm saying is that, from an objective point of view, morals are a representation of a social species progression and development, and are intrinsically tied to that species progress at the moment of morality. Stone Age morality would be representative and fitting for the human species social progress in the stone-age. Modern morality, and its disparity in relation to Stone Age morality, is indicative of the progress the Human species has made in such time, and represents technologies and the social development of humanity up until this point.
Some of my posts might have been talking across because there is another discussion on here that was addressing evolution, and I might have gotten posts confused.
I guess, in conclusion, what I'm saying is morality is relative to the environment and social (and technological) development of the species in question. That, however, only addresses morality and the rationalization of it from a societal standpoint~ I'd say that the closest to a universal morality would be that which benefits the most while at the same time hurting none (or in some cases the least).

A DRUG that targets one of the same brain receptors as nicotine boosts memory and attention in the elderly. The boost persists for days, even after the drug has completely left the body.
Geoffrey Dunbar of Targacept, a spin-off of RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, recruited 20 volunteers over 50 who had age-associated memory impairment, a mild form of memory loss. They received a 50-milligram dose of the drug, called ispronicline, daily for three weeks. On several standard measures of memory and attention, the people taking the drug improved markedly. For instance, their reaction times were those of people 10 years younger, Dunbar told the World Congress of Biological Psychiatry in Vienna, Austria, last week. "There's no reason to believe it won't affect memory and attention in Alzheimer's disease too," says William Caldwell, vice-president for drug discovery at Targacept.

Public Housing:
Management Issues Pertaining to the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority
RCED-91-70: Published: Mar 1, 1991. Publicly Released: Mar 27, 1991.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7631
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority's (BMHA): (1) voluntary 3-year compliance agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and whether it could correct leasing practices that violated title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; (2) reasons for its high vacancy rate; and (3) justification for its high number of employees.
GAO found that: (1) the agreement attempted to remedy BMHA title VI violations while taking into consideration the BMHA financial position and its high vacancy rate, but BMHA had not yet completely implemented the agreement; (2) the agreement's effectiveness will depend on the value of individual incentives provided to tenants and housing developments, and whether BMHA will be able to attract more families to desegregated housing; (3) BMHA should not use its operating funds to pay for individual incentives; (4) implementing the agreement could adversely affect the BMHA financial condition and its ability to reduce its high vacancy rate, but HUD believed that the agreement balanced civil rights requirements with the financial requirements and the vacancy situation; (5) as of June 1990, about 1,300 of approximately 5,000 BMHA federally financed units were vacant; (6) many factors contributed to the high vacancy rate, primarily health hazards, undesirable conditions and locations, restrictive leasing policies, extensive modernization activities, and BMHA inability to promptly prepare vacant apartments for reoccupancy; (7) HUD paid BMHA $240,000 per month to subsidize the vacant units; and (8) although the BMHA staffing level was about 1.5 times higher than the average level for 10 similar housing authorities, HUD approved the BMHA staffing level as necessary to improve the management of its modernization program, address the vacancy problem, and provide increased security coverage.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On July 3, 1992, HUD and the Buffalo housing authority entered into a voluntary compliance agreement that complied with the recommendation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, in implementing the voluntary compliance agreement, should not require BMHA to finance the individual software incentives from BMHA operating funds. Rather, if HUD chooses to implement those incentives, the Secretary should either seek alternative sources of funds or request that Congress explicitly authorize the use of operating funds for this purpose.
Agency Affected: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The voluntary compliance agreement entered into by HUD and the Buffalo housing authority requires that HUD monitor compliance.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, in monitoring implementation of the title VI voluntary compliance agreement, should evaluate the effects that the agreement has had on the BMHA financial position and vacancy situation in addition to its effects on desegregation. In making its evaluation and while monitoring, HUD should also ensure that the compliance agreement is compatible with its separate national initiative to reduce vacancy rates at public housing authorities where vacancies are unusually high. Should serious conflicts develop between title VI objectives and prudent management of BMHA, the Secretary and BMHA should negotiate appropriate adjustments to the compliance agreement.

Aviation is one of the safest forms of transport and millions of people each day depend on the hard work of those at Heathrow to ensure they are not harmed by the airport.
Whether it is so that our passengers reach their destination safely, so that the communities aircraft overfly can go about their daily business, or so thousands of workers can go home safely, high standards of safety are essential to the operation at Heathrow.
Along with investing millions of pounds upgrading infrastucture, Heathrow Airport Limited is leading a number of initiatives to improve safety behaviours. Much of our safety-based work airside is now grouped under the Heathrow.Safe banner and the following issues have either been initiated or accelerated due to the programme.
Since the launch of Heathrow.Safe the Airside Team has taken the lead on driving the future safety strategy and initiatives for the airfield via the Heathrow.Safe steering group (bi- monthly meeting) and the working group (monthly). Both forums comprise key airline, handler and AOC representatives, all at decision-making level, along with the Airside SLT.
FOD: Strategies to reduce foreign object debris on the airfield
- Cleansweep, the weekly community inspections of stands by senior Heathrow staff along with the handlers and airlines that operate in the area, has been given new momentum with increased commitment from the community.
- This has resulted in such a step change, Airside have introduced a second weekly Cleansweep, meaning that every stand on the Airfield is now visited every six weeks.
- Subsequently, Cleansweep sessions are beginning in the baggage halls to spread the change in safety culture further across the airport, work is in process to introduce this in the terminals.
- An overhaul of the Stand Cleaning Regime has released extra resource to deep cleaning, resulting in safer working environments.
- FOD bins and a new process have been introduced at Control Posts to reduce FOD brought on to the Airfield that can escape from vehicles.
- A new project is currently underway to tackle FOD in vehicles that are permanently based on the airfield.
Driver penalty points
Since the introduction of the scheme in September 2006, vehicle accidents airside have decreased and Heathrow.Safe has cemented the scheme within the community and enhanced its credibility.
Penalty points for non-driving offences
This replicates the existing system but for all unacceptable and unsafe practices on the airfield
- Penalty Points applied to the individuals ID pass.
- 12 points = suspension of access to Airside.
- Discussions continuing with stakeholders to finalise wording of OSI.
- Scheme will be launched with a 'soft start' before full implementation.
Driver training
Control has been returned to driver training airside with the support of the community, inherently increasing safety.
- In 2007 there were 178-plus training companies and 700-plus trainers.
- In 2009 there were 46 training companies and 134 trainers.
Other initatives
A review of the byelaws and how they relate to safety airside is under way via the Heathrow.Safe Working Group.
Incident measles map: On request from the community we have produced a map of incidents, facilitating trending data and allowing focus on particular areas to be increased.
Plans for vehicle tracking airside are being initiated by Heathrow.safe.
Website: A communications website will initially contain information on the aerodrome licence, byelaws and Safety instructions but has the scope to be expanded.

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) October 08, 2012
Rentec Direct, makers of industry leading property management software, brings more great communication utilities to landlords. The new messaging center empowers property managers to easily and quickly communicate to all their tenants, or just tenants within a single building with just a couple clicks.
According to Rentec subscribers, communication is rated as one of the most difficult and time consuming parts of being a property manager. In a traditional property management environment most communication is done by phone, which is both time consuming and rarely documented. By shifting the communication to email or sms, a property manager can communicate with all their tenants with a single email or sms broadcast. This can save hours of phone calls for otherwise ordinary requests like maintenance notifications.
Rentec recently announced compatibility with the nationwide cellular SMS network, and that capability is built into the new messaging center as well. Not every tenant has email, or checks email frequently; however, most now have a cell phone with SMS capabilities. Sending a group SMS to all tenants with mobile numbers is just as easy, and also recorded within the system and archived forever.
These new messaging capabilities extend beyond tenants as well. Property managers who manage properties on behalf of property owners can also group message all owners, or a sub-set of owners in the same manner. This keeps a communication log not only between tenants, but owners as well to complete the communication loop for property managers.
About Rentec Direct
Rentec Direct provides cloud based property management software for property managers and landlords. Other popular solutions offered by Rentec Direct include tenant ACH payment processing and tenant screening, and online syndication of vacancies to more than 20 popular websites.

The end of lawyers? Susskind shakes up ABA Techshow
Legal technologist Richard Susskind created a huge buzz among attendees of last week's ABA Techshow with his keynote speech about the future of the legal profession. Susskind's latest book, "The End of Lawyers? Rethinking the Nature of Legal Services," foretells radical changes to business of law, including a commoditization of nearly every aspect of legal services aside from a lawyer's own expert judgment.
According to Susskind, in order to meet client demands of "more for less," lawyers will have to become much more efficient, which they'll do through commoditization of legal work and "multi-sourcing" (breaking up a legal matter into many pieces which are handled by different providers). They must also, says Susskind, learn to collaborate through community-based sharing of legal knowledge. Online social networking, he predicts, will dominate legal services.
Lawyers of the future will be project managers and risk managers, not "expert trusted advisors" as they're thought of today. Rather than frame his predictions with gloom and doom, Susskind emphasized that we're not near "the end of lawyers" but in a time of tremendous opportunity for those willing to innovate and approach work differently.
A free video of Susskind's keynote will be posted soon on the ABA Techshow website.

Is Halo Better with Master Chief?
Rhetorical question. Of course Halo is better with Master Chief, even if he's not in a starring role 100% of the time. Sounds like Microsoft has finally figured it out too, as Microsoft Game Studios VP Phil Harrison had this to say to OXM UK:
We kind of lost our way a little bit, I'll say. And that's why I wanted to make sure that at the unveiling of Halo 4, you knew you were playing Master Chief, that John was back. Because Master Chief is the John Wayne character of that universe, and that's who you want to play.
Opinions do differ on this matter, and it's hard to come away from Halo Reach and allege it's somehow a worse game than, say, Halo 3. But it's important to point out that many find Reach's lasting value and charm in its multiplayer modes, something that Bungie was obviously building on over the years; simply by coming later and having years' more worth of gameplay feedback does Reach have so many superior features.
But for me and for many other avid Halo players, the last two games - neither of which put Master Chief in any role beyond cameo-glimpse or a quickly mentioned reference - stick with us like the first three Halo games did. Sure, he didn't talk much, but at least Bungie didn't design a whole game around him being mute, nor did they have him so obviously doing things like refusing to answer a pointed and important question (and plenty of modern shooters still do that - Crysis 2 and F.E.A.R. 3 immediately come to mind). He wasn't a chatterbox like Nomad was in the first Crysis, and he only had something to say when it really mattered. Like a not-quite-as-Silent-Bob version of Silent Bob. But with guns.
It's good to hear that 343 Studios, with the massive shoes they're going to try and fill with Halo 4 (which stars Master Chief) will at least be putting the franchise's most iconic character to good use.

See M. Bach, They Have Found a Faith (1946, repr. 1971); E. Butterworth, Discover the Power Within You (1989).
Unity is drained by the Little Sugar River.
Colonization eventually resulted in the establishment of the Province of New Hampshire. Within that province, the area known as modern-day Unity was part of a territory chartered in 1753 and named "Buckingham" after John Hobart, 1st Earl of Buckinghamshire. Grants in the area were given by both the early Massachusetts government and by Governor Benning Wentworth, which led to disputes. The town was incorporated as "Unity" in 1764 after amicable resolutions of the disputes were reached.
In the 1790 census, the town had 538 residents. Unity was on the Second New Hampshire Turnpike, an important trade route chartered in 1799 that connected Amherst, Massachusetts to Claremont, New Hampshire. By 1810, the town had 1,044 inhabitants, with two grain mills, five sawmills, a clothing mill and a distillery. Sheep farming was a principal business.
There were 504 households, out of which 30.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them. 66.5% were married couples living together, 4.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.6% were non-families. 17.1% of all households were made up of individuals, and 4.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.59, and the average family size was 2.89.
In the town, the population was spread out, with 20.0% under the age of 18, 5.9% from 18 to 24, 27.5% from 25 to 44, 26.1% from 45 to 64, and 20.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 43 years. For every 100 females, there were 101.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 97.7 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $41,594, and the median income for a family was $47,045. Males had a median income of $31,199 versus $24,833 for females. The per capita income for the town was $17,908. About 6.8% of families and 8.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 15.4% of those under age 18 and 1.4% of those age 65 or over.

Adopt a CTA station (or line or bus)?
The Chicago Transit Authorty (CTA) announced yesterday that it is looking to sell the naming rights for its train stations, train lines, bus stops, and bus lines. Or as the Chicago RedEye see it, the CTA is seeking "Sugar Daddies." The naming rights for pretty much anything associated with the CTA will be up for sale. The idea is to find new ways for the CTA to raise money without raising prices or cutting services any more than it already has in the past few years. The renaming of public amenities would not be unprecedented for Chicago. This city has a long history of public-private partnerships. We can see this most prominently in Millenium Park with AT&T Plaza, Chase Promenade, and the Jay Pritzker Pavillion.
However, I question how this system will work. If you purchase the naming rights for a station, will you also be responsible for upkeeping that station or remodeling it similar to how Apple has remodeled the North/Clybourn Station? Or will you simply get your name on it? My gut reaction is to resist allowing corporations to start renaming our stations. I might be a little more open to the idea if it means not only increased revenue for the CTA, but also an adopt-a-highway-like system where the corporate sponsor of each station would be in charge of maintaing and improving the station over time. But I cannot see myself ever supporting the renaming of the train lines. Having the lines named after colors works well so I'm glad the CTA is not throwing that idea out. But what the CTA is planning on doing, which is keeping the color alongside the name of the corporation that purchases the naming rights of the line (e.g. Orange Line / Microsoft Line), will just complicate the name of the lines and confuse people.
Station and line names could start changing as early as this upcoming spring. Only time will tell the impact this program will have on our transit system.

Wines of Chile is heading to Sao Paolo, Brazil on August 8 for a dual tasting event at Hotel Unique. The day starts off with the Icon Wines tasting, which will be hosted by BBC presenter and Decanter magazine columnist Peter Richards, Chilean terroir expert Pedro Parra and Brazilian wine consultant Carlos Cabral.

Reading the terms of service and privacy policies on the websites you visit is a thankless task. Checking those swathes of fine print for unannounced changes every time you return to those sites, on the other hand, is an impossible one.
So a coalition of privacy-focused organizations including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Internet Society and the Center for Democracy and Technology have teamed up to create a tool that automatically tracks any changes in websites' long-winded legal texts. The free, open-source plug-in, an extension for Firefox, checks a library of scraped terms of service and privacy policies from dozens of major sites that updates every three hours. If a site changes its fine print, the plug-in notifies the user the first time he or she visits the site post-changes.
You can download it here.
"Often policies say things like 'users of this site agree to let us provide data to partners whose code is included in its pages.' They don't say who those partners are," says Trent Adams of the Internet Society. "The browser plug-in empowers the user to see those statements in real time, as they change."
That functionality would help users spot controversial switcheroos in sites' legalese, such as Facebook's change last year that suddenly gave the site the right to use your photos and other content.
In fact, you can already see the last six months of tracked changes in privacy policies on the "library" site that feeds data into the privacy coalition's plug-in, though comparing versions to find the changes without the plug-in would requiring poring over the document. You can see, however, that Apple has changed the privacy policy on its website four times in the last half a year, and that Facebook has changed its terms of use seven times.
The privacy plug-in's weakness, of course, is that it's only completely effective if you've already read the privacy policies and terms of service on sites before using it–if those terms don't change, the plug-in does nothing to make that fine print more transparent. And it's no surprise that virtually no one reads those texts in the first place. An NYU study I wrote about in April showed that around one person in 1000 even clicks through, and those that do spend just 29 seconds on the page on average.
But the Firefox add-on could make it harder for companies to squeeze in new privacy loopholes or other sneaky tactics going forward. In the future, Adams says, the tool may also rate policies with a "star" system based on their user friendliness. For now, he's content just to gather the data and make it easily digestible for users and researchers. "We don't step out in front to say whether something is a good or bad policy," he says. "If you put tools out there that are open in nature and flexible enough, people who want to will leverage the data your'e collecting."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 17, 2010
No campfires at Leader Lake CampgroundHigh heat and conditions too extreme for recreational fire
OLYMPIA – Effective 12:01 a.m. August 18, 2010, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will no longer allow campfires in Leader Lake Campground in Okanogan County due to extremely hot and dry conditions.
The public also is reminded that individual campgrounds may ban campfires on a case-by-case basis. Check with the campground host before lighting a campfire.
In an effort to reduce human-caused wildfires, DNR issued a statewide burn ban on all DNR-protected lands, effective July 15, 2010, through September 30, 2010. The ban includes all forestlands in Washington except for federal lands. Campgrounds may have additional burn restrictions in place.
DNR's wildfire mission Administered by Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark, DNR is responsible for preventing and fighting wildfires on 12.7 million acres of private, state and tribal-owned forestlands in Washington. DNR is the state's largest on-call fire department. During fire season, this includes more than 700 DNR employees who have other permanent jobs with the agency and about 375 seasonal workers. DNR also participates in Washington's coordinated interagency approach to firefighting.

I had thoughts of going with the Vapor but after using bicycle computers since the early 1990's, I eventually came to the conclusion .... I really didn't need all the extra information these devices provide ... I also had a bike computer stolen off the dash in Mexico.
I did find it useful having multiple trip meters and speed averages when laying out a ride route or back tracking. The Bicycle computers never had temp sensors or tachs, like the Vapor, but had most all the other features as the Vapor. I used the Sigma ones, about $30. Now, I just don't pay attention to much of it and last time the Sigma died, I just left it off. Never missed it. Still have the Super Magnet in my Rotor.
If I went with a Vapor now it would be to replace the stock speedo, headlight, and front sub frame ... it's all pretty heavy. So if you really want to put your bike on a diet ... that is one approach. At this point I've lost interest in that. But to each his own. Less weight means easier to ride in technical off road and less hammering to the bike itself. All good.
Some notes on over loading your DR650.
If all you ever ride is highway or smooth dirt roads like in Canada and Alaska then this is not such a concern. Load it up, no worries. But if you get out on rougher two track or serious wash board or whooped out tracks ... as found in California, Baja, and the Desert Southwest .... then an overloaded bike can have issues over time.
Running hard cases and steel mounting racks can be of particular concern. Running huge tool tubes adds a LOT of weight which could stress the sub frame or luggage rack. If you're only doing a few thousand miles ... probably won't be an issue. But over time and big miles doing rough riding .... everything will most likely crack or break.
So take a lesson from Jammin' Jay and others doing the RTW rides ... they have all had these issues. Traveling light is really hard to do ... especially if you camp and cook on the road. No real easy solution.
My solution is to do day loops. Get to a "hub" or "base camp" point. Leave your heavy gear there and do a "day loop" out into the rougher, more interesting terrain carrying only whats needed. Some locations are well suited for this: Like parts of the Mojave, Baja, Moab and even Copper Canyon. I'm sure there are many more.

Lifetime Warranty, Dyno Tested And Proven To Make Power, Performance Gains In Horsepower And Torque, Great Sound -Has A Smooth; Deep Tone, Easy To Install, Mandrel-Bent. All Welded. Built To Last.
OEM exhaust tubing is replaced with madrel-bent tubing of the same size or one size up from the OEM allowing for exhaust gasses to flow freely uninhibited as it exits the exhaust. MagnaFlow's Wide Open Performance Mufflers outflow OEM chamber style mufflers by as much as 167%. This reduces engine heat and backpressure and improves exhaust scavenging from the combustion chamber. MagnaFlow minimizes the power-robbing effects of the OEM system to restore torque and horsepower to the engine. They feature a free-flowing, straight-through perforated stainless steel core, stainless mesh wrap and acoustical fiber fill to deliver that smooth, deep tone. Mufflers are packed tight with this acoustical material unlike some others' products to ensure long life and no sound degradation over time. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

Apple: Widget writers wanted

Developer calls Apple's Tiger a copycatJune 28, 2004
The Mac maker has launched a contest for developers who create programs in Dashboard--a part of Tiger, the update to Mac OS X that will debut in the first half of next year. The idea behind Dashboard, as well as a similar third-party program called Konfabulator, is that computer users want easy access to small programs that do things like showing stock quotes or displaying photos.
Though Dashboard won't be available until Tiger arrives, the company wants to jump-start development of the widgets that work with Dashboard. Apple is hoping that the prospect of creating widgets will appeal to more than just the usual crop of Apple developers, given that only standard Web site skills are needed.
"It's really critical that we get this technology out to people beyond our traditional developer base," said Ron Okamoto, vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations at Apple. "You are gong to see people who never thought about programming for the Mac."
To enter the contest, and gain access to the Dashboard developer kit, would-be programmers must be members of Apple's developer program at the select level or above. Entries must be submitted by Jan. 5.
In a new posting to its developer site, Apple outlines possibilities for several kinds of widgets--namely ones that retrieve information from the Web, ones that are self-contained applications and ones that link to full-fledged Mac programs. An example of the last category would be an iTunes miniplayer Apple has demonstrated.
In current versions of Mac OS X, there is a program called Sherlock that allows access to movie times, eBay listings and other information. Some of the same tasks could be handled by Widgets, said Chris Bourdon, Mac OS X product marketing manager.
"There certainly are, I think, some obvious overlaps between the two of them," Bourdon said. "I suspect we will see some widgets that are built that have some similar functionality."
Bourdon declined to comment on whether Sherlock will remain part of Mac OS X when Tiger ships. "Sherlock is a really great application. We're going to see as things flesh out with Dashboard where that goes."

that's a good way to get people coming out of the woodwork to
develop for this thing in advance.

Konfabulator to build 10.4. Seems to be a minimally fair thing to
do to buy Konfabulator and all its Widgets.

around. The idea of desktop accessories has been around in
Mac OS for a long time.

I started out with riding lessons when I was 11. When I was 13 I got my first horse, an Exmoor Pony. I had her for 20 years.
Then I was without horses for a long long time.
In 2003 I took some riding lessons. After 5 months I stopped again. Riding school was too far away and I could not get used to riding someone elses horse, eventhough it was a lesson horse.
Almost 4 years ago I got that feeling of wanting a horse of my own again. We have no farm or land so that was a bit difficult.
I called around and found a place to board 2 minutes away from our town so...I started to look for a horse. I saw an add for a green broke pony good for 4H. So we went to have a look. I fell in love with her. But when I tried her out, I found out I was not that brave anymore as when I was a teenager. I used to ride bareback, loved a fast horse, jumped and did dressage. Not anymore. I asked the seller to lead her while I was in the saddle! LOL
Maybe silly , but I wanted this lovely and very calm pony.So I dove in.
She is not big, just 12.3 hh. But for me it was the right size, as I'm not that tall and big.
I had to learn a lot as I never had a green broke horse before. But I had friends who helped me and I read a lot and we did really good. She is my best riding horse and we bond very strong.I took very little steps an it took me 2 years before I would go into a canter with her. People change when they get older, more aware of danger I guess. So I was very carefull as I didn't want to fall off!
After Flicka I bought another horse but that one had problems to take the bit and after a few months she got a foal so I left her in the pasture. Then I bought another horse, that was well broke and calm etc as they said. A big no! She was not easy to ride and did not seem happy to be ridden. Then I bought a Norwegian Fjord, not broke and not handled and the same day a friend gave me a 2 year old horse.
So I ended up with 6 horses.
I had to sell as I could not keep up with the work and I kept Flicka and the Fjord, Freya. I'm training Freya with clicker training and she is a sweetheart that really wants to please me, just like Flicka.
I learned a lot since I got Flicka, eventhough I dove in with her.

Post-Master's Requirements
Using the latest in computerized technology, our learning online options allow you to advance your nursing credentials by earning a post-master's NP certificate from the convenience of your home, office or other facility. Part-time and full-time study options are available.
Residency Requirements
Students in the online learning programs complete a 3-4 day residency at the School of Nursing. During the on-campus residency, students participate in an intensive assessment and evaluation of their knowledge of curriculum content, including diagnostic reasoning, clinical assessment skills and therapeutic communication. The residency is scheduled during the spring semester immediately following the Advanced Clinical Studies course.
Clinical Experiences for Online Study
Clinical sites and preceptors are essential to the successful completion of the nurse practitioner programs. To help you develop your nurse practitioner skills and interests, you will work with a clinical preceptor for each clinical course at a site in or near the community where you live. Because learning takes place away from the Saint Louis University campus area, our faculty assist you in selecting appropriate clinical sites and preceptors that are compatible with both your and the program's objectives.
Computer Requirements for Online Study
To complete your learning online, you must be comfortable using both personal computer hardware and software. You must have an e-mail account and be proficient in accessing the World Wide Web. Internet Explorer and Mozilla Foxfire are is the preferred browser. You will need additional software of Adobe Reader and RealPlayer. Although not required, students are strongly encouraged to have broadband, high speed access to the Internet, such as a cable modem or DSL phone line. For more detailed computer requirements, visit the Learning Online homepage: http://nursing.slu.edu/online.
Lectures, slide presentations, and class handouts in the online courses are available using various technologies. Class seminars are conducted online asynchronously but some specialty option coordinators arrange synchronous class times at various times in the program. Students are expected to go online several times each week to discuss cases or pose questions.
All courses are under username/password encryption. You will be able to login to courses after you have been notified of acceptance by Saint Louis University, you have registered for courses and you have arranged for payment of tuition.

Agyness Deyn has offered her super-cute looks for the Copson St holiday 2012 lookbook.
Copson St is a label that draws much of its influence from skate culture of Barcelona, but certainly puts its own twist on it – this isn't your average street-inspired attire.
This gear is a little more farshun and a little more girly than many US-based skate labels and the holiday collection includes basic cut tees and sweaters for both boys and girls.
The main recurring theme in this season's capsule collection is the splashed and speckled fabrics – think bleach-splattered pastels – along with cord caps and running shorts. You'll also see a few seemingly random images on some of the tees and sweaters. We like the flamingo.
