This is the third edition of the Philosophical Disquisitions Journal Club. The goal of the journal club is to encourage people to read, reflect upon, and debate some of the latest works in philosophy. The club focuses on work being done in the philosophy of religion (broadly defined). This month we're looking at the following paper:

With Chris Young out of the way Mets can move forward
Rich Mancuso
Philadelphia- Now that Chris Young has been designated for assignment by the New York Mets they can move ahead. And with the Mets slim chances of making the post season they are headed to a sixth straight losing season. So why not move ahead?
Young, the free agent one-year acquisition was granted a chance by the GM Sandy Alderson, one that is now history and a failure. Truth of the matter, Young was grabbed early and big deal? The Mets did not invest much in a $7.5 million contract and will owe the remaining $2.5, assuming a team wants to take a chance between now and October.
It leaves the Mets with an opportunity to go shopping over the winter, a productive outfielder on the list or via the trade market for one of their quality and respective young pitchers that so many teams desire.
The ramifications again after this failure, the Mets singing another free agent, though not as costly who was a total bomb. Maybe a signing not as bad and costly as the recent Jason Bay contract, but bad enough to leave a sour taste in the mouth of a Mets fans.
Alderson said as best he could, "At some point you have to move on. I think this was about the time that we needed to do that. Chris has been, I think, an outstanding teammate to the other guys on the team. I've liked Chris a lot since the first time I met him."
And then this comment," Unfortunately it didn't work out completely as he would have liked, as we would have liked. And, at some point, it's time move on to something else."
The reality is, yes it is time to do something else and the Mets did by promoting the 27-year Matt den Dekker who got his first start Sunday as the Mets continued a four-game series with the Phillies. More importantly some of the youngsters that are so much of the Mets future will start to get a look.
Hey in the first place, Young was signed early in the free agent period of last off-season, and known by now that Nelson Cruz was available but at a more costly price.
Cruz and the Orioles are cruising along towards a divisional title in the AL East. The Mets, with promise and showing some signs of that, are moving on to next season. The good thing, Chris Young is no longer a dilemma and can be the burden for someone else to handle.

TABLE 5-1 Indicators Suggested for Adult Postsecondary Education and Training
• Types of on-the-job training provided by employers, using a survey on such questions as whether employers support individual and group innovation and whether employees have individual or collective learning plans
• Percentage of adults aged 25 or older who enroll in postsecondary education or training and who earn credentials:
• Percentage of adults 18 or older who have left high school without a diploma but who obtain a high school diploma, GED certificate, or equivalent
• Percentage of low-skilled adults who obtain a postsecondary or occupational certificate, credential, or degree
• Percentage of instructors in adult education programs who are certified in an adult education field
• Percentage of adults aged 18 or older who pass the examination to become naturalized citizens or
• Percentage of adults aged 18 or older who vote for the first time
• Participation by employed individuals in on-the-job training
• Percentage of the adult population who believe they know how to learn and are motivated to exercise this skill
• Adult literacy rates
• Spending on adult education as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP)
• Shortages of key skills in the labor market
• Health of the support network for adult learning associated with occupational interests
participation make sense, but it is likely too difficult to develop a standardized set of outcome measures for content that is "so varied, ephemeral, and often so specific to a particular learning environment," Stern observed. Moreover, it is important for adults to be able transfer knowledge from one realm to another, but this capacity is difficult to measure.
Formal adult education, in contrast, is largely funded by the U.S. Department of Education (under Title II of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998). This system is focused on assisting adults who have not earned a high school diploma or whose reading, writing, or mathematics skills are below the secondary level. Most adult education services are provided through local education agencies, community colleges, libraries, community organizations, and correctional facilities, and also include programs to engage adults in the community, support families, and promote work and learning (U.S. Department of Education, Division of Adult Education and Literacy, 2011).

Detective and mystery stories
Ryan Dooley has always been in trouble. Victim Rights, by Norah McClintock, tells of his journey from one side of the law to the other. Dooley, as he prefers to be called, had a hard life growing up. He was forced to try to care for his mother, all the while taking care of himself because no one else was able to take care of him. However, when his ex-cop uncle found him in a juvenile detention center, he offers him an ultimatum. If Dooley will stay out of trouble, his uncle will provide for him until he turns eighteen in a couple months.
The last thing editorial assistant Billy Webb expected to stumble upon in his new job was an unsolved murder. But when fellow employee Mona Minot approaches him about references to something deadly in the company's research files, Billy is immediately intrigued. And thus the two begin their amateur sleuthing in Emily Arsenault's novel The Broken Teaglass.
A nubile co-ed is missing from the same small, rural Mississippi town where another young woman had disappeared twenty-five years earlier—the mystery unsolved, her body never found. So begins Tom Franklin's stellar novel, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter.
Socially-awkward Larry Ott was 16 years old when Cindy Walker, both beautiful and popular, asked him out on a date. That momentous occasion—at least through Larry's eyes—was the point when his young life began a downward slide from which it would not recover. Walker was never seen again. Although no evidence was ever found connecting him to the girl's disappearance, the townspeople unanimously convicted Larry without the benefit of any trial. Shunned and taunted, he became the local pariah.
When Jodi Linder was three, the unbearable happened. As told in Nancy Pickard's The Scent of Rain and Lightning, one Saturday night, her father was murdered and her mother disappeared. Jodi grew up in the small town of Rose, Kansas, wrapped in the fierce protective circle of her three uncles, safe and cherished, but distrustful of happiness.
When Jodi Linder was 26, the unthinkable happened. Billy Crosby, the man convicted of killing her father, has been released from prison and returns to Rose, loudly protesting his innocence of the murder. In a small town, it's hard to keep your distance from anyone, and Jodi finds that she starts to run into Billy's son Collin just about everywhere. Collin is a lawyer who wants to live peacefully in Rose and wants to prove his father's innocence.
Libraries are chock full of Marjorie Sharmat's books, especially the many tales of her young detective, Nate the Great. Nate is indeed great—at solving mysteries--but only after a plate of pancakes! Nate the Great is the start of one of the most popular series ever written for beginning readers. These mysteries are also drily witty and have been enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
As a girl, Marjorie Weinman was rather shy. She enjoyed playing the piano, reading and drawing. But her ambitions were not so tame. When she grew up, she wanted to be a writer or a detective or a lion tamer! With a friend, she published The Snooper's Gazette; filled with news they learned by spying on grown-ups! She kept writing throughout her high school years, eventually getting published in school magazines and newspapers.
Alice Humphrey--daughter of a world famous film director and his movie star wife--has been unemployed for months yet refuses to ask her wealthy parents for help. When the ideal job as manager of a new NYC art gallery falls into her lap, Alice leaps at the opportunity…without considering the legitimacy of the offer. In Long Gone, by Alafair Burke, Alice has no clue her hasty decision will lead to a murder…or that she will be the main suspect!
At the opening of a new art exhibit, Alice meets Drew Campbell. Over the course of their conversation, Drew mentions he has an anonymous investor ready to open a gallery. He asks if Alice might be interested in managing the project. The only caveat is that the premiere show must feature the work of the investor's boyfriend. The art in question turns out to be a series of hackneyed photographs which, from Alice's perspective, display zero artistic merit. But she remains undaunted and looks forward to molding future shows.

Back a day early from DV.
Saline Valley to Hunter Mountain was easy, Hunter mountain was a cake walk. The Cabin up there has had a lot of work done around it. Kinda sad but an easy ride.
Hidden Valley was easy, fast and clear all the way out the Tea Kettle.
Tea Kettle to Race track was wash board and some minor washouts, kinda sucked, easy but sucked.
Lippencott was tough on the 990, it was all downhill but the jeepers for some reason didnt know how to drive and kept parking in the midst of the trail often in the hardest parts. That sucked.
Saline back out to south pass was fine until the part right after the hunter mountain turn off. Then if just sucked.
Was able to get through on the 990, only had to stop and restart once on the really bad washout. It was a dogleg which didnt let you carry your momentum through the transition.
Other than that was just really cobbly.
So in conclusion. Yes doable on the big bikes, IF you a decent rider (I am not) it would prolly be easier.
Great weekend, weather was perfect and the nights we surprisingly warm.

Daytime accidental wetting is much less common than
bed-wetting. But about 1 out of 4 children who wet the
bed at night also wet during the day.1
Knowing the cause of the wetting will help you and your child's doctor
decide on the best treatment. Daytime accidental wetting is more likely than
bed-wetting to develop after a child has had
bladder control for at least 6 months to 1 year (secondary diurnal enuresis). This pattern of wetting
is often related to a medical condition, such as an infection or a defect in
the urinary tract, or emotional
stress. Treating the condition will usually
stop the wetting. But daytime wetting can be a matter of normal development,
with no medical cause.
If daytime wetting begins after a child has
had consistent bladder control, consider the possibility that stress, such as
the birth of a new sibling, is the cause. Accidental wetting often stops after
the stress is addressed and managed. Some children may benefit from seeing a
mental health professional.
Daytime accidental wetting (diurnal enuresis) is common in younger
children. Children may become so involved in play that they forget to go to the
bathroom. Also, they may hold on to urine too long. These children:
Some children have accidental daytime wetting because they
try to hold their urine too long. To keep from wetting themselves, children may:
If a child has accidental wetting during the day, it can
affect his or her performance in school or friendships. The child may be afraid
of wetting at school or on outings. He or she may also be afraid of being
teased by friends. Treatment can help the child lead a more normal life and
have higher self-esteem.
Daytime accidental wetting may
be a normal part of a child's growth and development, or it may be caused by a
medical condition. Getting your child's problem evaluated by a doctor is
important if there is any chance a medical condition is the cause.
Call the doctor if:
If you take
your child to the doctor for help with the child's accidental wetting, a
medical history and physical exam will be done to discover if the wetting is a
symptom of a medical condition. The doctor will ask you and your child
questions about the wetting, such as when and how often it happens. As part of
the physical exam, the doctor will examine the child's abdomen, rectum, spine,
and genital area and may watch the child urinate. Depending on the results of
the physical exam, the doctor may do other tests, such as:
If a child has both daytime and nighttime
accidental wetting, the doctor may treat daytime wetting first because children
normally gain daytime control over their bladders sooner than nighttime
control. Accidental daytime or nighttime wetting may increase after treatment
is stopped.
If daytime wetting is caused by a medical condition,
the medical condition will be treated, and usually the daytime wetting will
Treatment for daytime wetting that is not caused by another
medical condition may include:
Home treatment
treatment may be all that is needed to improve daytime accidental wetting,
especially if the wetting is not due to any medical condition or stress. Try
the following:
If your child delays going to the bathroom and holds on to
urine until he or she loses control and wets, try the following:

Those who embrace the Tea Party movement are much less likely than others to see discrimination as a threat to the nation's future and a hurdle for minorities. More than three in four say racial minorities have equal job opportunities; half of non-Tea Party supporters agree. They overwhelmingly reject the notion that economic disparities between blacks and whites are mainly the result of discrimination.
Nearly half say blacks lag in jobs, income and housing "because most African Americans just don't have the motivation or willpower to pull themselves up out of poverty." One-third of non-supporters agree.
Tea Party supporters are much less sympathetic than others to illegal immigrants. By 4-to-1, they say illegal immigrants in the long run cost taxpayers too much by using government services rather than becoming productive citizens. That view is hardly out of the mainstream, though — it's held by 52% of those who are not Tea Party supporters.
"The Tea Party (gatherings) are not some radical meetings; it's just average folks," says Tim Brazil, 54, a small-business owner from Chesterfield County, Va., who has attended several local meetings. He says Tea Party members are agitated about the way things are going in the country, and for good reason: "Washington doesn't hear us, and the Tea Party is waking them up."
On the last big Election Day, in 2008, the Tea Party didn't exist. Now the name encompasses the most energized segment of the electorate, one that has denied members of Congress renomination, created a new constellation of political heroes and pushed the GOP to the right.
Even so, the movement is less a party than an anti-party, with no clear consensus about whom its national leaders are and a generally dyspeptic view of organized political power.
"It's a party opposed to the idea of parties," says Jill Lepore, a Harvard historian whose book about the movement, The Whites of Their Eyes, is scheduled to be published in October. The Tea Party reminds her more of a religious revival than a political movement. She compares it to the Second Great Awakening in the 1830s, a religious resurgence that helped fuel temperance and abolitionism.
What emerges from the polls and interviews is a deeply engaged, highly skeptical group of people — even toward others in their ranks.
Jones voted for Rand Paul in Kentucky's GOP primary, one of the movement's most celebrated victories this year over an establishment Republican candidate, but says she is "kind of undecided" about whether to support him in November. "When you see his ads, you think, 'Yeah, he's not one of the mainstream politicians,' but his dad's a politician," she says. (Ron Paul is a seven-term Texas congressman and former Republican presidential contender.)
She's not enamored with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who is a hero to some in the movement. "I don't like her folksy sayings," Jones says. "She's just a politician like the rest of them."
Whether such a loosely organized collection of people can sustain itself as a political force isn't clear, although they have forged a formidable record. Tea Party supporters have helped win the Republican gubernatorial nomination for Nikki Haley in a turbulent South Carolina primary, deny renomination to Republican Sen. Bob Bennett in Utah and push Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter to leave the GOP. (He then lost the Democratic primary.)

and he might come up big and huge or is it that huge and big I forgot
If Arroyo is dealing that will be huge bigtime, Dude.
Do you have a better option for Arroyo starting tomorrow?
We could always start Arroyo but give him a very short leash, and have Wood ready to come in and go 5+ innings in relief. If Arroyo comes out and struggles, that could be his last appearance of the season
Last edited by Skreep; 08-16-2011 at 07:11 PM.
I am as big a believer in miracles as anyone but I think this season is lost and Reds management needs to acknowledge that fact. Trade or release Hernandez, Cordero and Renteria. What is the point of them continuing to play? DL Arroyo. It is wonderful that he is a trooper but there is nothing worth pushing onward for at this point. Give his starts to Wood. Put Willis in the bullpen. If he might not be with the team next year then, once again, what is the point? Give his starts to Maloney and see what you have there. Bring up Mesoraco, Boxberger and Valaika and start getting ready for 2012. What difference does it make if the team finishes 8 games out or 15 games out? None whatsoever. It would be nice to see Reds management be proactive for once.
Of course he will start. The only diagnosis that matters is doc kremchek. He says he is fine, and he says dontrelle is fine. They will both start.
Kind of a non-issue to me.
Arroyo pitched well his last outing. We don't have many healthy alternative options. Wood hasn't pitched that well in triple A. Volquez has had some improvement, but I'm not sure I want to bring him back up just yet.
The season is lost and I don't really see any good substitute solutions at this point. I'd just let him make his next start.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
I think he'll start and hope that big ballpark will hold some of those taters he's been serving up.
Time to cut bait and go on. Arroyo will likely start and you never know what the outcome will be.
I would like to see him on the DL so we can have more time for a young pitcher in the rotation.
I would be putting the pieces together for next year. Is Heisey, Sapp or Yonder the answer in LF? Are we sold on Stubbs staying in CF with all the strikeouts? I think we have a SS for the future, but who can be the utility guy? Cairo still in the plans for next season? Janish going to ride the pine as a defensive specialist or will he be gone because he can't hit? Have we seen the last of ScottyRo? Is Frazier the solution at 3B? Hernandez needs to be gone, should have traded at the deadline, and the future backstop given some pt. Lets see if Mesoraco is ready.
Work with the young rotation - Cueto, Leake, Wood, Bailey and Maloney. If Willis is going to be around next season, give him the ball some, but if not, he doesn't need to wast a space for guys who need to get their feet wet. I think he would be a great 4th starter next season, but he is on a one year deal, correct?
The core - Votto, Phillips and Bruce can take some time off, if they want to, once a week, to give some of the people we have to make decisions on have their fair shot.
At this point does it really matter? I think for the health of Bronson a season ending DL stint couldn't hurt, but never happen. Also is Wood on the ML roster or in AAA?

The Sports Pavilion
The Sports Pavilion has established itself as one of the premier multi-purpose facilities in the nation. The former home of Golden Gopher men's hockey, the facility was remodeled and reopened in 1993. It currently serves as the home of the Golden Gopher men's and women's gymnastics team, the volleyball team and the wrestling team.
The Pavilion has been the home of Golden Gopher volleyball since in 1994 with it quickly becoming one of the top collegiate volleyball venues in the country. In the past four seasons, the Gophers have ranked fourth nationally in home match attendance among NCAA Division I schools. Minnesota has ranked among the nation's top five in attendance in each of the past 6 seasons, and have ranked among the top 10 in each of the last 11 seasons. In 2004, the Minnesota volleyball program had its locker room and team facillities refurbished, to upgrade what was already a first rate set of facilities.
The Sports Pavilion also provides a first-class home for Golden Gopher men's and women's gymnastics. The facility offers superior sitelines and because of that, has been the host site of several big events, including several Big Ten Championships.
Not to be outdone, the Sports Pavilion also provides a haven for one of the top wrestling programs in the nation. While the Golden Gophers also host matches in adjacent Williams Arena, Minnesota drew one of the largest crowds in school history in the inaugural year of the Sports Pavilion. In 1993-94, 5,205 fans watched Minnesota upset top-ranked Oklahoma State.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Greg GelpiAccreditation, name tags and teacher retention. High school students addressed their concerns for the Clayton County school system to new Clayton County Board of Education member Wendell "Rod" Johnson. Johnson, along with Clayton County Public Schools Superintendent Barbara Pulliam, toured three county high schools Wednesday to introduce students to one of five new board members and give Johnson an opportunity to hear from students. "Since we're going to be making decisions for them, we want to get input from them," Johnson said. "We want to become more community oriented." Students, including Jonesboro High School senior Brett Stuart, asked about the school system's accreditation status. The system's accrediting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, placed the system on a yearlong probation, and the system remains on a yearlong "warned status" after probation was lifted. Johnson assured students, however, that SACS is his top priority for his term on the board. Newly sworn in board members met with SACS officials during a Georgia School Boards Association training session, and SACS officials commended the new board members, he said. "One thing they did say they were excited about is that all of the new board members had training," Johnson said. Pulliam added that not only did the board members receive training, but they received the training prior to being sworn in as board members. In its report when the system was placed on probation, SACS officials recommended that school board members receive training. "We shall be cleared," Johnson said. "I'm confident that we will be cleared." Johnson and Lois Baines Hunter, Eddie White, Yolanda Everett and David Ashe will join the nine-member board of education for its first meeting at 7 p.m. Monday. The first item of business for the new school board will be to select a chairman of the board, since board Chairwoman Nedra Ware was defeated in her bid for re-election. Bob Livingston, who chose not to seek re-election, said he was happy to be done with the school board. "I'm glad to be out of it," Livingston said. "My plans are that I'm retired. I'm out of it all together." He said that the school system has a "lot of good teachers" and that he hopes the troubles with SACS are behind the school system. "Hopefully, (the new board) will be leaders, not followers," Livingston said. The previous board was accused of micromanagement and meddling in the day-to-day operations, and Livingston said the new board needs to re-exert its authority, namely by assuming responsibility of creating the agendas for the meetings. During their farewell meeting, board members Carol Kellam and Barbara Wells said that the past year has been rough, but that the school system is in a better place.

I'm a kid at heart. I love to laugh. I have an optimistic view on most life issues that you would notice quickly. I need some sort of a passion or goal that drives me. I feel stimulated by intellectual conversations and connected through displays of affection. I consider myself culturally curious, recognize the role life experiences play in making people who they are. I enjoy playing and watching sports esp. tennis, chess, pool and poker. Yes, I consider poker a sport :), but maybe that's because I'm so good at it!. I've been playing poker semi professionally for past 4 years and going to turn professional soon. I am an eternal optimist who believes in spirituality and inherent goodness of humans. I am not an advocate of materialism. Not that I do not enjoy worldly pleasures and believe in worldly gains - but I do not seek them as my only objective in life. It also helps me cope with disappointments better and more often than not keeps me happy. What drives me to succeed, are the challenges associated with doing a task or a project, not the moolah you rake in because of it. Money is what I call the 'pleasing side effect' of being passionate about what you do. This does not equate with lack of ambition, as I have a strong drive to succeed in whatever I do. Challenges are what drive me and keep me going. I'm looking for someone who has a keen sense of humor, socially and culturally curious, with a somewhat spiritual outlook towards life. Someone who is not shy to dance, or express her feelings. But above all, I'm looking for that elusive connection. That emotional, physical and spiritual connection that cannot be expressed, but only experienced. The connection that when you experience it, you not only recognize it's value but are drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Chemistry can neither be faked nor expressed, so if you sense positive vibrations, please do not hesitate to find for yourself.

Iran among first to sign Global Tobacco Treaty
Twenty-seven countries, among them the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the European Community gathered this week to sign the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), the world's first public health treaty, leading the fight to reverse the global tobacco epidemic.
The World Health Organization (WTO)-initiated treaty bans tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship with exceptions only for constitutional reasons, and protects public health policy from tobacco industry interference.
The FCTC, which sets precedents for international regulation of other industries that threaten health, the environment and human rights, enters into force and becomes international law after 40 countries ratify it.
"Even as we celebrate this milestone, we are well aware that giant tobacco corporations are continuing their aggressive efforts to derail the swift implementation of this groundbreaking treaty. As the political battles over the FCTC now move to capitals across the globe, vigilance to Big Tobacco's dirty tricks becomes more important than ever," says Kathryn Mulvey, executive director of Infact, a US-based corporate accountability organization.
South Africa and Palau are among the countries that led the way toward a strong FCTC and were among the first to sign the treaty. Bangladesh, Botswana, Brazil, Burundi, the Czech Republic, Denmark, the European Community, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Iran, Italy, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Malta, the Marshall Islands, Mongolia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Spain, Sweden and the UK also signed the treaty at its opening. — (menareport.com)

Venison steaks
In a 9x13 glass pan, cover steaks with buttermilk. Add salt and pepper and soak overnight. The buttermilk will help pull out some of the blood from the meat and calm the venison's game flavor.
Remove steaks from buttermilk and discard liquid. Coat each steak with a little fresh ground pepper. Grill them on a high heat on the grill to a medium doneness.
Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet and remove. Leave the bacon grease and add garlic, butter and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent. Add mushrooms, red pepper, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, ginger and flour. Saute several minutes to cook out flour, then add 1/2 cup water. Simmer until everything is well blended. Pour sauce over the venison to serve.
Red potatoes
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add red potatoes, salt, Tony Chachere's and hot sauce. Boil until soft. Drain and serve.
Salad Dressing
Cut head of lettuce into quarters. Drizzle dressing over top. Serve cold.

2009 Super Bowl porn hacker admits to tampering with the feed
Back in 2009 a small percentage of the people watching the Super Bowl on TV got a shock in the form of 37 seconds of porn. Somehow or someone had flicked the feed over to the Club Jenna channel just in time to see some full frontal male nudity and a sex act performed. This was a lot more than the single-frame graphic scenes Tyler Durden placed in movies during Fight Club.
At the time, no one could figure out what had happened. Was it a freak accident, good timing, and a case of some crossed wires? Or did a disgruntled employee decide to take some revenge when viewer figures are at their peak?
It took until February this year for someone to be charged with committing the crime, in this case fraud and computer tampering. That someone was Frank Tanori Gonzalez, a man employed by Cox Communications at the time, and liaison to Comcast for the Super Bowl coverage.
Gonzalez was arrested in February, but it has taken until now for him to admit computer tampering and plead guilty to the charge. His punishment actually seems quite tame as he will have to serve 3 years probation and pay a $1,000 fine. If he stays out of trouble for those 3 years the crime will be reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor too.
Why does that seem tame to me? His actions saw porn fed to 80,000 homes across Tucson, Arizona, and Comcast offered each home a $10 credit to say sorry. That comes to a lot more than $1,000 if everyone took Comcast up on its offer.

Since when is "questionable" a synonym for "evil"?
The stories and illustrations are public domain in the US, but copyright laws vary by country.
I just sent off for the fifth and, I hope, last pre-publication copy of Yesterday's Tomorrows. I was sure it would be finished a month ago, but there were problems printing it due to some of the illustrations being too high of a resolution. It took a month to get the fourth printed.
I certainly can't argue with that, there were indeed.
I agree he doesn't belong on that list. I do think on the list of America's worst presidents, he'd be at the top of the list.
Ignored warnings from the previous administration, top FBI officials ignored field agents who were warning of something bad, and got our country attacked.
Then he started an incredibly stupid war in Iraq, which led to the rise of ISIS.
Presided over the building of mass surveillance of the American people.
Took office during a boom, left office under the worst economy since the great depression. It's my theory that what caused the ruined economy was fuel prices more than quadrupling during his reign. Buy gas to get to work, or pay the mortgage? Tough choice!
Took office with a balanced budget, left it with the largest deficit in American history. Meanwhile, infrastructure was crumbling and he did nothing.
Now, if the list was of people who did the most harm to our country, he should be on that list. Mao and Pol Pot were very evil men who killed millions of people, but they didn't harm America.
No, it's something slashdot did, since I never had the scroll before and didn't change any settings.
Ever since they changed it so I have a goddamned horizontal scroll (are they on crack?) I've only come by occasionally to look at journals.
Look, Dumbass Holdings Idiots, there's no reason whatever short of GROSS incompetence to introduce a horizontal scroll on a widescreen format notebook!! I'm all for hiring the handicapped, but you don't hire Ray Charles to be a bus driver and you don't hire the educationally handicapped to code...
Although I suspect it may be retarded PHBs than retarded coders. Someone is obviously VERY stupid. The idiotic mistakes I see should NOT happen at a so-called "nerd" site.
If you do that you have to double the used web space, and that can be expensive. I'm already almost at the upper limit for my site and will have to go to the next tier of hosting soon. As it is, only three of the well over a hundred pages on my site need a special mobile version, and I would imagine a lot of other folks are the same way.
Having it first look for m.sitename, falling back to mobile.html if it exists and m.sitename doesn't, then index.html if there are neither m.sitename or mobile.html might be a good idea, though.
There are an awful lot of pages on my web site, and I've been busy making them all "mobile-friendly". Most of them are little or no problem making them look good on all platforms, but there are three that are especially problematic.
I jumped this hurdle (well, sort of stumbled past it) by making two of each of the pages with a link to the mobile page from the index.
I'd be preaching what I don't practice; my favorite phone was the Razr. Tiny thing. Big phones are fine for those who carry purses, but mine stays in my pocket. The one I have now is about as big as I can stand.
I'm about to post a journal with a suggestion for the W3C and mobile browser makers.
It should work. I don't see how it would mess up the charging circuit unless that circuit was poorly designed. It's the same as a TV degausser.
My day was a lineman working around AC at 90,000 volts. If he wore an analog (wind up) watch to work the watch would get magnetized by those high strength magnetic fields and stop working. He probably could have fixed the watches the same way.
I finally got the full texts of Nobots and Mars, Ho! to display well on a phone. My thanks to Google for showing me how, even if the way they present the information is more like trial and error, but it's actually easy once you jump through all their hoops. I'll make it easy.
I have two new stories nearly finished, but I've decided to see if I can sell first publication rights to a magazine. If everyone rejects them, I'll post them then. If one is accepted, it will likely be quite a while before I can post.
Actually I've had Seagate, WD (I wrote an article about a WD drive about ten years ago, it will be in Random Scribblings), Maxtor, and others, and I haven't been disappointed with any of them.
A fail-safe circuit will destroy others. -- Klipstein

As a horse owner and having owned and operated a horse facility located in Upstate NY, I realize what it takes to locate and recognize a true horse facility. While many agents see only a house, I look to the land, pastures, paddocks, fencing and barn facility for my clients first.

Why Invest in FLORIDA?
The economic impact is surprisingly well balanced between various aspects of the industry with approximately $32 billion generated from the recreation segment, $29 billion from the showing segment, $26 billion from the racing segment and $14.7 billion from other industry segments.
Approximately 1.4 million full-time equivalent jobs are created by the industry.
The study shows that horse ownership appeals to many different types of people and is not limited to the rich. The almost 2 million American horse owners are drawn from a wide range of back grounds and demographics, with 28% of horse owners earning over $100,000 annually and 34% of horse owners having an annual household income of less than $50,000.
Owners, family and volunteers make up the lion's share of contributors, with employees representing only 15% of participants.
Economic Impact
The horse industry is estimated to contribute nearly $40 billion annually to the Gross Domestic Product of the United States economy. When indirect spending is included this number jumps to approximately $63 billion.
Revenue generation is well balanced with the important categories of racing, showing and recreation each contributing between $10 and $12 billion.
When broken out by type of horse thoroughbreds in racing have the largest economic impact, stimulating economic activity of over $20 billion annually.
Galloping Across Every State
Though there are horses in every state, California , Texas and Florida lead the way in both horse ownership and economic impact.

GO FOURTH; Sparkling events make patriotic declarations
Uncle Sam wants YOU!
To celebrate the Fourth of July, that is.
Just in case fi reworks haven't gone off in your head on how exactly to celebrate, we've compiled a few ideas in our annual Independence Day roundup. It's what we do.
With that said, here are a few celebrations that will inspire plenty of thoughts of mom, apple pie and patriotism all around.
Fourth in the Falls
The first city- sponsored Fourth of July fi reworks celebration in two decades didn't exactly go off like a blast in 2007. That's when floodwaters swamped Wichita Falls and forced the city to postpone the event until Labor Day weekend that year.
But with optimism springing eternal, the city is hoping for nothin' but blue skies on this second go-round with the holiday.
Fourth in the Falls, which runs from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday on the grounds of the Multi-Purpose Events Center, makes this declaration: Music, food and fireworks — all for free, well, free admission at any rate.
The city is also touting KidsFest that same day. The annual family-friendly festival inside the MPEC's Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall will run from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. (it's $1 admission for KidsFest). It was canceled earlier in the year because of swine flu concerns but is plying forward on Saturday with children's entertainment of all sorts, children's activities and about every vendor you can imagine, like Wichita Falls waterpark Castaway Cove, the Gymnastics Sports Center, Boomtown Express, Make Believe Parties, Notre Dame Catholic Schools, Village Bowl and X-Treme Lazer to name a few.
Then Fourth in the Falls gets going at 6 p.m. with three bands performing. Sean McConnell will open the show. The artist is signed on with Warner Chappell Publishing and names everyone from Johnny Cash to the B52's, Sheryl Crow and the Rolling Stones as his influences. The roots-rocker's latest release is "The Walk Around" EP.
Then taking the stage will be Brazos Stone. The Red Dirt rockers just released a new CD called " Pleasurable Pain" (check out a profile on the band in today's NEXT entertainment guide), which was produced by Mike McClure, formerly of The Great Divide. The band is perhaps the area's hottest Red Dirt band at the moment, having won the Maskat Shriners' Shrinefest Shootout battle of the bands in 2008 and recently being named the opening act for the Eli Young Band at FallsFest, coming up Sept. 25.
Headlining band for the evening will be Latin rockers Del Castillo of Austin, Texas, which has made several stops over the past couple of years at the Iron Horse Pub. The band is known for the dual flamenco guitar work of brothers Mark and Rick del Castillo. The band was touted by
Rolling Stone magazine as " tumbling brilliance on nylon-string classical guitars" with "eruptions of technique and taste (that) conjure images of Eddie Van Halen fronting early Santana (with an assist from the Gipsy Kings)."
The band has received several South by Southwest and Austin Music Awards, including band of the year in 2003, and the group has contributed music to director Robert Rodriguez's fi lm projects, including "Once Upon a Time in Mexico," "Sin City" and "Grindhouse."
Food will be available for purchase at Fourth in the Falls, which will culminate at dusk with fi reworks (bring lawn chairs and blankets for seating).
Fourth in the Falls came about after Sheppard Air Force Base, whose Freedom Fest served the community on Independence Day for many years, decided not to put on Freedom Fest every year but alternate the event with an air power show. So on the years the base sponsors its air power show, the city takes the reins with a Fourth event.
■ Fourth in the Falls, 6-11 p.m. Saturday, MPEC grounds ( behind Kay Yeager Coliseum). Free admission. www.wfmpec.com or (940) 716- 5500.
Heritage Society, Kell House Fourth
While most Independence Day todo's are all about the sparkle, as in big blasts of fi reworks and high- tech concerts, the Kell House Museum's sparkle is a little more historically slanted and understated.
The Kell House and the Wichita County Heritage Society once again will present their Fourth of July Celebration and Most Patriotic Parade on Saturday — a throw-back, old-fashioned event with a turn- of-the- century feel that pays tribute to the way Wichita Falls founding father Frank Kell and his pioneer family might have celebrated the holiday in 1909, when the neoclassical Kell House was built.
The event will begin at 9: 30 a.m. with the Most Patriotic Parade. Rather than floats and marching bands, this parade will meander forth with patrioticallydressed pooches and other pets; tricycles and bicycles decorated in red, white and blue; antique cars; smartly- dressed wagons and more (categories include strollers, bikes, pets, antique cars and "specialty").
Lineup and registration for the parade begins at 8: 30 a.m. at the Old Post Office on Eighth and Ohio streets. The parade route is along Ohio and Ninth, ending at the Kell House at 900 Bluff.
The parade will end at the Kell House for a patriotic program (along with a skit by Children as Thespians), live music, museum tours and a variety of old-fashioned games and activities, like a cake walk.
Lemonade, apple, pie, watermelon and hot dogs will be some of the refreshments available for purchase.
■ Kell House Fourth of July and Most Patriotic Children's Parade, 9:30 a.m. to around noon Saturday, with the parade starting on Eighth and Ohio and ending at the Kell House, 900 Bluff. Admission to the Kell House and some activities are free; other activities and food/drink require ticket purchases. (940) 723-2712.
Comanche Red River Casino
Comanche Red River Casino in Devol, Okla., celebrates the holiday today on the third, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Food will be available at the all-ages event, and the band Brother Sharp will perform.
The culmination, of course, will be fi reworks at dusk.
■ Comanche Red River Casino Fourth, 7-11 p.m. today at the Casino in Devol, Okla. (580) 299- 3370. www.crrcasino.
Rock Against Violence
Although you won't see fi reworks at Rock Against Violence — the kind that blast in the air, at least — you will get a few fi reworks in terms of musical inspiration.
The First Step fundraiser will run from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. Saturday at the Big Lots parking lot. Families will want to stop by to visit with the Maskat Shrine clowns, who will be entertaining children, and First Step will be selling hot dogs, sausage on a stick, corn on the cob, chips and drinks. Two hot dogs, a drink and a bag of chips will be sold for $5. That $5 will feed a child or adult client in crisis for a week.
Performances by a number of singersongwriters and bands are on the slate, as well, including by Chris Caruvana, David Foard, Luke Walker, Clark O'Conner, The Pardoned, Divine Calling, Therapy and the TuTones.
First Step will also be collecting household items like shampoo, conditioner, dishes and things like toasters and microwaves for clients who will need such items after leaving the First Step shelter.
The shelter is a safe haven for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
■ Rock Against Violence, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Big Lots Parking Lot, 3923 Kell Blvd. Free admission, but bring some cash for food. (940) 723-7799.
Back 40 Texas Mu sic Festival
If after the Fourth of July you need to celebrate even more, consider a jaunt to the Wildcatter Ranch and Resort in Graham, Texas, on Sunday.
This big music festival will include performances by the Josh Abbott Band at 6 p.m., followed by Wade Bowen. Fireworks will get blasting at dusk. And, of course, food and drinks will be available. Part of the proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, which reaches out to soliders coming home from the war.
■ Back 40 Texas Music Festival, gates open at 4 p.m. Sunday, Wildcatter Ranch and Resort, Graham, Texas. Tickets are $20 for adults in advance and $15 for children. Tickets at the gate are $25 for adults and $20 for children. (940) 549- 3500 or www.wildcatterranch.com.
Burkburnett Fourth
Burkburnett's celebration of the holiday at United Friendship Park will kick off with a 5K fun run and walk sponsored by Jubilee Christian Center at 8 a. m. Saturday at the park. Registration in advance is $20 for the 5K and $10 for the children's 1K ($5 more if you register on site).
The celebration will continue from 5- 8 p. m. at the Children's Fun Area, which will feature pony rides, a bounce house, face and hair painting and other activities.
Brother Sharp will perform at 6 p. m., and then Vocal Trash of Arlington, Texas, at 8: 30 p.m. The latter group performs on trash cans and water bottles.
The fi reworks display is set to go off at 10 p. m.
■ Burkburnett Fourth, 5-10:30 p.m. Saturday, United Friendship Park.
Possum Kingdom
Finally, anytime summer- bound revelers can combine a trip to the lake with fi reworks, it's a good day.
Expect just that at Possum Kingdom Lake on Saturday for its annual Fireworks at Hell's Gate event.
Gates open at 6: 30 p. m. Saturday and close at 8:45 p. m. to get into the YMCA's Camp Grady Spruce on the east side of the lake, where fireworks can be viewed. Or, you can also view the fi reworks from your boat on the water at Hell's Gate.
Bring blankets and lawn chairs for seating. Concessions are available, or bring your own picnic.
The event is sponsored by the Possum Kingdom Chamber of Commerce.
■ Fireworks at Hell's Gate, Saturday, YMCA's Camp Grady Spruce, Possum Kingdom Lake, Graham. Gates at 6:30 p.m. (close at 8: 45 p.m.) Entry fee is $5 per person (3 and younger admitted free). (940) 779- 2424.

Where the Wild Things Aren't: Cats Avoid Places Coyotes Roam
July 1, 2015 07:33 AM - NC State University
Domestic cats might be determined hunters, but they stick mostly to residential areas instead of venturing into parks and protected areas where coyotes roam. That's the key finding from a North Carolina State University analysis of more than 2,100 sites – the first large-scale study of free-ranging cats in the U.S. published in the Journal of Mammalogy.
Why is it important to know where 74 million pet cats spend their time away from home?

If they rebooted Clarke's universe, maybe they should.
They haven't 'rebooted' Trek though. Everything pre-Kelvin still includes historical events detailed in TOS and beyond.
I don't know why it's so hard to accept that in the
Star Trek universe there was a war in the 90s.
Because it places Trek in a universe not remotely our own, meaning that the triumph of the society in that fictional universe is in no way actually connected with the evolution of the society in our own.
Basically, it takes one of the central premises of the whole franchise--that if we play nice, we can have a great world too--and undermines it. The future of Trek ought to plausibly be our future, not the future of a world where genetic engineering technology was being perfected in the early 1960s and interstellar ark ships were being built in the mid-1980s. Also--and I'm still no booster of seeing Khan in the Abramsverse--no audience wants to see an alternate 1992 that has no bearing on their own memories of 1992. Imagine Voyage Home being populated by bands of young Augments. It'd have been silly. Even sillier than the whale thing, and a lot less relevant. Heck, Kirk maybe could've avoided the dangers of time travel back to the future by putting himself, his crew, and the whales in freezeless stasis, apparently on the cusp of being developed in the 1980s inasmuch as it was an incredibly robust technology in the mid-1990s, and sailed out on a DY-100.
