COLUMBIA (AP) — The state Department of Transportation estimates needing an additional $1.5 billion yearly over 20 years to bring roads to "good" condition. It's responsible for maintaining:
• 41,444 highway miles: 851 interstate miles, 9,475 miles of federal and state highways, and 31,118 miles of secondary roads. Nearly 70 percent of secondary roads aren't eligible for any federal funding.
• 8,383 bridges
• 9 welcome centers
• 19 rest areas
• mowing of 128,000 roadside acres
• 20 million feet of sidewalk
• 1,700 miles of guardrail
• 5,600 traffic signals and flashers
• 643,000 traffic signs
• 23 million feet of curbs and gutters
Of those nearly 8,400 bridges:
• 7 are closed
• 420 have weight restrictions for crossing
• 886 are rated in poor condition
• 777 are considered functionally obsolete, due to outdated designs
Of those nearly 41,500 highway miles:
• 53 percent of secondary roads rate in "poor" condition; 36 percent are "fair," and 11 percent are "good"
• 47 percent of federal and state highways rate "poor;" 40 percent "fair," and 13 percent "good"
• 8 percent of interstate miles are "poor," 23 percent "fair," and 69 percent "good"

Meeting the Challenge
The new School of the Environment strengthens the outstanding academic endeavors and scientific research already happening at Washington State University.
By bringing Earth sciences, ecosystem and natural resource ecology, sustainability sciences and social sciences under the same umbrella, the school will increase team-based research and scholarly output while also providing cutting-edge training for the next generation of scientists, resource managers, policy makers, and well-informed global citizens.
WSU is uniquely positioned among state agencies and institutions to address the many facets of our natural resources. Environmentally focused faculty are located throughout WSU's multi-campus system and Extension offices in every county provide environmental education and sustainability outreach to learners of all ages.
Coming Soon! Forestry is making a comeback at Washington State University
After phasing out its long-standing major in forestry in 2011, WSU will re-establish an updated major in forestry beginning in the fall of 2015. The recently established WSU School of the Environment will offer the major in Pullman.
Forestry majors will receive a strong foundation in science, with an emphasis on forest ecosystems. They will also take courses in related fields including wildlife ecology, environmental science, and earth science. Students will gain an understanding of the dynamics of climate change, global change, and the influence of humans on biodiversity and forest ecosystems. They will learn to apply the science and technology needed to help solve environmental problems and manage ecosystems.
Our graduates are expected to be field ready with a strong background in forest measurements and sampling. Students will get hands on experience in on-campus and off-campus laboratory exercises and be provided opportunities for internships. This will prepare them for in-demand careers in both government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private industry as foresters, reforestation specialists, harvest managers, natural resource managers, and more.
Students will also develop a strong background in landscape level analysis, with course work in landscape ecology and GIS. For any student interested in having a stronger emphasis in the area, a minor in geospatial analysis is available as a part of their degree.
Specific courses in the major include: plants and ecosystems, silviculture, resource economics, wildland fire, forest measurements, sampling terrestrial ecosystems, watershed management, range management, remote sensing, environmental and natural resource policy, landscape ecology, disturbance ecology and others.
WSU will seek accreditation from the Society of American Foresters (SAF) for the newly updated major which is expected to be well received. Accreditation is important as it is required by many employers.

The Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and the Nicolaus Copernicus University jointly organize the Third European Conference on Positive Management on 18 and 19 November 2015. The conference will take place in Rotterdam. The theme is Positive Management Applied.
The conference will be organised during the Global Entrepreneurship Week, a yearly event for all lecturers and students in the fields of economics, management and finance. During this week students also enjoy the opportunity to meet many representatives from business in the Rotterdam area. The conference offers students and lecturers an additional opportunity, getting acquainted with the on-going research in positive management.
The program will be structured according to four sub-themes and the presentation of papers.
Jerry Davis & Chris White with an excerpt from their new book, Changing Your Company from the Inside Out, in Harvard Business Review:
"In the course of our research, we have found that some human capital-intensive industries are more inherently receptive to social innovation than others. Accounting and consulting firms are often highly responsive to the social demands of their employees. For example, interns at PricewaterhouseCoopers championed a social audit practice. We also found that the professionals we spoke with at Accenture, in offices on three continents, consistently lauded the firm for its willingness to support innovations, from Accenture Development Partnerships to professional programs for First Peoples in Canada and support for call centers in native communities. This fits with the idea that much innovation is driven by a war for talent. Businesses that require professionals with skills in high demand are virtually required to embrace the preferences of the next generation."
Gretchen Spreitzer's research quoted in MIT Sloan Management Review:
"In 'Why Sleep Is a Strategic Resource,' in the Winter 2015 issue of MIT Sloan Management Review, Christopher M. Barnes (University of Washington's Foster School of Business) and Gretchen Spreitzer (University of Michigan's Ross School of Business) say that executives who brag about only needing a handful of hours of sleep 'are not setting a good example, especially when it comes to getting the best performance out of the talent in an organization.'

But were I to concede to them what they ask with regard to Peter—viz. that he was the chief of the apostles, and surpassed the others in dignity—there is no ground for making a universal rule out of a special example, or wresting a single fact into a perpetual enactment, seeing that the two things are widely different.
That doesn't follow. If there is something in the Bible that is clearly intended as a model, then it is indeed perpetual. Apostolic succession is observed in the Bible. That has to do with apostles and the bishops as their successors. This was the consensus of the fathers as well. Therefore, if Peter is shown to be the leader of the apostles, and preeminent, then it is perfectly plausible and to be expected that that office would continue, just as the office of bishop was to continue. On the other hand it is silly to see some form of ecclesiology in the Bible and conclude that it was only for the first generation of Christians, or the first century (apostolic era) or some other arbitrary length of time. What sense does that make? Any sort of organization has a structure of authority.
One was chief among the apostles, just because they were few in number. If one man presided over twelve, will it follow that one ought to preside over a hundred thousand?
It does if said person is indicated in many ways in the Bible as having a sublime authority, and it follows in the sense of models and their successors later in history. It follows when Jesus built His Church on Peter himself (not just his faith). I could just as easily flip Calvin's argument and say that if twelve need a leader, how much more would a hundred thousand need a leader? All human groups have need of that.
That twelve had one among them to direct all is nothing strange. Nature admits, the human mind requires, that in every meeting, though all are equal in power, there should be one as a kind of moderator to whom the others should look up. There is no senate without a consul, no bench of judges without a president or chancellor, no college without a provost, no company without a master. Thus there would be no absurdity were we to confess that the apostles had conferred such a primacy on Peter.
Exactly. But some human groups also have leaders who are heads in the sense that they have more power and authority than anyone else. The President of the United States is such a person. He has the power of veto and proclamation, and use of the "bully pulpit" (as Teddy Roosevelt called it) to influence millions of people more than others are able to, because of the prominence of his position.
But an arrangement which is effectual among a few must not be forthwith transferred to the whole world, which no one man is able to govern.
This isn't logical. Why is it implausible to Calvin to have one worldwide leader? Obviously the one man can't do everything (like Moses in the OT getting the advice from his father-in-law Jethro to divide his responsibilities lest he become exhausted). But he has the aid of bishops overseeing local areas. The Catholic Church follows that model. One man is still needed for unity's sake. Nothing shows that more than the history and current state of Protestantism.
But (say they) it is observed that not less in nature as a whole, than in each of its parts, there is one supreme head. Proof of this it pleases them to derive from cranes and bees, which always place themselves under the guidance of one, not of several. I admit the examples which they produce; but do bees flock together from all parts of the world to choose one queen? Each queen is contented with her own hive.
Well, then the queen bee would be more analogous to a bishop.
So among cranes, each flock has its own king. What can they prove from this, except that each church ought to have its bishop?
The ultimate and conclusive prooftexts of the papacy come from the Bible, not analogies to cranes and bees.
They refer us to the examples of states, quoting from Homer, Οὐκ ἀγαθον πολυκοιρανιη, "a many-headed rule is not good;" and other "passages to the same effect from heathen writers in commendation of monarchy. The answer is easy. Monarchy is not lauded by Homer's Ulysses, or by others, as if one individual ought to govern the whole world; but they mean to intimate that one kingdom does not admit of two kings, and that empire, as one expresses it (Lucan. Lib. 1), cannot bear a partner.
In the end, we must go by the Bible, but not it alone; the Bible as it has been interpreted by the fathers, and other eminent churchmen through the centuries.
Be it, however, as they will have it (though the thing is most absurd; be it),
It's not absurd at all. It is the biblical model all down the line: popes, bishops, councils, priests, apostolic succession, authoritative Church and tradition (a magisterium), etc. Calvin's ecclesiology is what is absurd, because it ditches every one of these elements that had always been held by the Catholic Church all along.
that it were good and useful for the whole world to be under one monarchy, I will not, therefore, admit that the same thing should take effect in the government of the Church. Her only Head is Christ, under whose government we are all united to each other, according to that order and form of policy which he himself has prescribed. Wherefore they offer an egregious insult to Christ, when under this pretext they would have one man to preside over the whole Church, seeing the Church can never be without a head, "even Christ, from whom the whole body fitly joined together, and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body" (Eph. 4:15, 16).
This is what I call "super-pious rhetoric." The problem is that it has no practical application at all. Of course, Christ is the Head. But Calvin knows, and everyone knows, that there is also human governance in the Church. The question then becomes not whether humans do this, but how they should do it; what is the structure?
See how all men, without exception, are placed in the body, while the honour and name of Head is left to Christ alone. See how to each member is assigned a certain measure, a finite and limited function, while both the perfection of grace and the supreme power of government reside only in Christ.
More of the same truisms that no one disputes in the slightest; but they do not rule out human Church offices.
I am not unaware of the cavilling objection which they are wont to urge—viz. that Christ is properly called the only Head, because he alone reigns by his own authority and in his own name; but that there is nothing in this to prevent what they call another ministerial head from being under him, and acting as his substitute. But this cavil cannot avail them, until they previously show that this office was ordained by Christ.
. . . which has been done in past installments. It's been shown, for example, that Christ built His Church on Peter, not his confession. The latter position (Calvin's) is now rejected by most reputable Protestant commentators, including Calvinists. Calvin was wrong. Thus, he didn't see this clear indication of the papacy.
For the apostle teaches, that the whole subministration is diffused through the members, while the power flows from one celestial Head; or, if they will have it more plainly, since Scripture testifies that Christ is Head, and claims this honour for himself alone, it ought not to be transferred to any other than him whom Christ himself has made his vicegerent. But not only is there no passage to this effect, but it can be amply refuted by many passages.
Matthew 16:19 is exactly the passage Calvin is looking for. "Viceregent" is precisely one title that has been applied to the papacy by Protestant commentators, to show what "keys to the kingdom of heaven" meant. So Calvin has backed into the truth here, if only he could see it in the Bible.
Paul sometimes depicts a living image of the Church, but makes no mention of a single head. On the contrary, we may infer from his description, that it is foreign to the institution of Christ.
It appears that he does not explicitly discuss it, but he does implicitly, or by deduction and implication. For example, we see his response regarding the Jewish high priest:
Acts 23:4-5 [4] Those who stood by said, "Would you revile God's high priest?" [5] And Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, `You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"Thus, Paul retains the notion of a leader. Presumably, then, he would agree that there was also a Christian leader within the ranks of the Church. We also see how he acted in deference to Peter, in consulting with him alone when he began his apostolate, and how he singles Peter out by name, from the other apostles:
1 Corinthians 9:5 Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife, as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?Even Paul's rebuke of Peter contains strong indications that he was the leader, because when there is a problem, it is good to nip it in the bud by going right to the top of the chain of command. Peter wasn't the only one who acted insincerely and hypocritically:
1 Corinthians 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Galatians 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days.
Galatians 2:13 And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity.Yet when Paul rebuked the behavior, he went straight to Peter (Gal 2:11,14). This proves that Peter was the leader. He was expected to set a better example. The rebuke itself doesn't disprove that he was a leader; it only proves that he was a hypocrite in that instance, like we all are at times.
Christ, by his ascension, took away his visible presence from us, and yet he ascended that he might fill all things: now, therefore, he is present in the Church, and always will be. When Paul would show the mode in which he exhibits himself, he calls our attention to the ministerial offices which he employs: "Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ;" "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers." Why does he not say, that one presided over all to act as his substitute?
Good question. I don't know. But I know that the things I mentioned above are also relevant as to Paul's opinion. And I know that many doctrines are in a relatively primitive state of development in the New Testament (even the Trinity itself: where its various aspects that were dogmatically adopted by the Church in the first seven centuries, are far more developed later on). I also know that the same sort of argument about not mentioning certain things and concluding that, therefore, they play no role, can be turned back on Calvin. For example, in the very passage Calvin cites, talking about Church offices (Ephesians 4:11-15), another thing isn't mentioned, either, that Calvin thinks does reign supreme, in terms of the rule of faith: Holy Scripture. I wrote in my book, A Biblical Defense of Catholicism (p. 16):
Note that in Ephesians 4:11-15 the Christian believer is "equipped," "built up," brought into "unity and mature manhood," "knowledge" of Jesus, "the fullness of Christ," and even preserved from doctrinal confusion by means of the teaching function of the Church. This is a far stronger statement of the "perfecting" of the saints than 2 Timothy 3:16-17, yet it doesn't even mention Scripture.In other words, if there is no pope as authority because he isn't mentioned in this passage, there also is no Scripture as the only final infallible authority, because it isn't mentioned here. The authority, as described in this passage, resides in the Church alone. Calvin's argument proves too much. The fact remains that the Bible doesn't always mention everything that could be mentioned, in every passage. Systematic theology must draw from the entire body of Holy Scripture. And this is what Catholics do when they see many biblical evidences for the papacy.
The passage particularly required this, and it ought not on any account to have been omitted if it had been true.
Then Scripture can't be the ultimate authority, either, since it, too, isn't mentioned in the same passage, which is rather wide-ranging. If Calvin doesn't want that conclusion, that follows from his own internal logic, then he should also discard the argument about silence here disproving the existence of a papacy.
Christ, he says, is present with us. How? By the ministry of men whom he appointed over the government of the Church. Why not rather by a ministerial head whom he appointed his substitute? He speaks of unity, but it is in God and in the faith of Christ. He attributes nothing to men but a common ministry, and a special mode to each. Why, when thus commending unity, does he not, after saying, "one body, one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Eph. 4:4), immediately add, one Supreme Pontiff to keep the Church in unity?
Probably because he didn't have to, since Matthew 16:19 was in everyone's Bible, and it was crystal clear and understood by all. Peter was the rock. Paul calls Peter Cephas because that was the Aramaic word for "Rock." Every time he uses that name, he is recalling the commission of Jesus in Matthew 16:19.
Nothing could have been said more aptly if the case had really been so. Let that passage be diligently pondered, and there will be no doubt that Paul there meant to give a complete representation of that sacred and ecclesiastical government to which posterity have given the name of hierarchy.
The fact that Scripture was not mentioned shows that Paul was not giving an absolutely complete picture of Christian authority.
Not only does he not place a monarchy among ministers, but even intimates that there is none. There can also be no doubt, that he meant to express the mode of connection by which believers unite with Christ the Head. There he not only makes no mention of a ministerial head, but attributes a particular operation to each of the members, according to the measure of grace distributed to each. Nor is there any ground for subtle philosophical comparisons between the celestial and the earthly hierarchy. For it is not safe to be wise above measure with regard to the former, and in constituting the latter, the only type which it behoves us to follow is that which our Lord himself has delineated in his own word.
And He gave primacy to Peter, in the many passages that have been examined previously.
I will now make them another concession, which they will never obtain from men of sound mind—viz. that the primacy of the Church was fixed in Peter, with the view of remaining for ever by perpetual succession. Still how will they prove that his See was so fixed at Rome, that whosoever becomes Bishop of that city is to preside over the whole world? By what authority do they annex this dignity to a particular place, when it was given without any mention of place?
By the fact that St. Peter and St. Paul were martyred there. By the fact of God's Providence in going right to the heart of the Roman Empire and "Christianizing" it. For the world to be evangelized, Rome had to be converted first. That's why the two great apostles ended their lives there.
Peter, they say, lived and died at Rome. What did Christ himself do? Did he not discharge his episcopate while he lived, and complete the office of the priesthood by dying at Jerusalem? The Prince of pastors, the chief Shepherd, the Head of the Church, could not procure honour for a place, and Peter, so far his inferior, could!
Jesus' mission was to the Jews first (several scriptural indications). The apostles were to spread it to the Gentiles. That easily accounts for the difference.
Is not this worse than childish trifling?
Not at all. It makes perfect sense.
Christ conferred the honour of primacy on Peter. Peter had his See at Rome, therefore he fixed the seat of the primacy there. In this way the Israelites of old must have placed the seat of the primacy in the wilderness, where Moses, the chief teacher and prince of prophets, discharged his ministry and died.
No, because Moses was to take the Hebrews to the Promised Land. He didn't get there, due to his disobedience, but that was the destination. Once there, the center of religious activity and administration was to be Jerusalem. That was the Old Covenant. Once the New Covenant and the gospel arrived, it was to spread to the Gentiles. Therefore, to best do that, the Church had to be centered in Gentile territories, and Rome: where the Empire was based, and where persecution was the greatest, was the obvious choice.
Let us see, however, how admirably they reason.
And let's also see how fallaciously and "sub-biblically" Calvin often reasons . . .
Peter, they say, had the first place among the apostles; therefore, the church in which he sat ought to have the privilege. But where did he first sit? At Antioch, they say. Therefore, the church of Antioch justly claims the primacy. They acknowledge that she was once the first, but that Peter, by removing from it, transferred the honour which he had brought with him to Rome. For there is extant, under the name of Pope Marcellus, a letter to the presbyters of Antioch, in which he says, "The See of Peter, at the outset, was with you, and was afterwards, by the order of the Lord, translated hither." Thus the church of Antioch, which was once the first, yielded to the See of Rome. But by what oracle did that good man learn that the Lord had so ordered? For if the question is to be determined in regular form, they must say whether they hold the privilege to be personal, or real, or mixed. One of the three it must be. If they say personal, then it has nothing to do with place; if real, then when once given to a place it is not lost by the death or departure of the person. It remains that they must hold it to be mixed; then the mere consideration of place is not sufficient unless the person also correspond. Let them choose which they will, I will forthwith infer, and easily prove, that Rome has no ground to arrogate the primacy.
I appeal back to previous statements. Whatever the particulars, God's providence decreed that Peter and Paul were both martyred in Rome. That was not just a coincidence. In both Catholic and Calvinist theology, ultimately nothing really is. It all has a purpose. So it is surprising that Calvin sees no significance in this fact of the two most prominent Christian apostles, dying in the same place, in Europe; in the seat of the Roman Empire. True, it is not a "biblical " argument; it is an argument from plausibility and common sense, regarding God's plan in evangelizing Europe: which would be (institutionally speaking) the center of Christianity henceforth.
However, be it so. Let the primacy have been (as they vainly allege) transferred from Antioch to Rome. Why did not Antioch retain the second place? For if Rome has the first, simply because Peter had his See there at the end of his life, to which place should the second be given sooner than to that where he first had his See? How comes it, then, that Alexandria takes precedence of Antioch? How can the church of a disciple be superior to the See of Peter? If honour is due to a church according to the dignity of its founder, what shall we say of other churches? Paul names three individuals who seemed to be pillars—viz. James, Peter, and John (Gal. 2:9). If, in honour of Peter, the first place is given to the Roman See, do not the churches of Ephesus and Jerusalem, where John and James were fixed, deserve the second and third places? But in ancient times Jerusalem held the last place among the Patriarchates, and Ephesus was not able to secure even the lowest corner. Other churches too have passed away, churches which Paul founded, and over which the apostles presided. The See of Mark, who was only one of the disciples, has obtained honour. Let them either confess that that arrangement was preposterous, or let them concede that it is not always true that each church is entitled to the degree of honour which its founder possessed.
Non-Roman Sees are essentially equal. The Holy See in Rome was preeminent. It is irrelevant to wrangle over these other Sees, to see which should have more prominence. That is a problem for the Orthodox, not Catholics.
But I do not see that any credit is due to their allegation of Peter's occupation of the Roman See. Certainly it is, that the statement of Eusebius, that he presided over it for twenty-five years, is easily refuted. For it appears from the first and second chapters of Galatians, that he was at Jerusalem about twenty years after the death of Christ, and afterwards came to Antioch. How long he remained here is uncertain; Gregory counts seven, and Eusebius twenty-five years. But from our Saviour's death to the end of Nero's reign (under which they state that he was put to death), will be found only thirty-seven years. For our Lord suffered in the eighteenth year of the reign of Tiberius. If you cut off the twenty years, during which, as Paul testifies, Peter dwelt at Jerusalem, there will remain at most seventeen years; and these must be divided between his two episcopates. If he dwelt long at Antioch, his See at Rome must have been of short duration. This we may demonstrate still more clearly. Paul wrote to the Romans while he was on his journey to Jerusalem, where he was apprehended and conveyed to Rome (Rom. 15:15, 16). It is therefore probable that this letter was written four years before his arrival at Rome. Still there is no mention of Peter, as there certainly would have been if he had been ruling that church. Nay, in the end of the Epistle, where he enumerates a long list of individuals whom he orders to be saluted, and in which it may be supposed he includes all who were known to him, he says nothing at all of Peter. To men of sound judgment, there is no need here of a long and subtle demonstration; the nature of the case itself, and the whole subject of the Epistle, proclaim that he ought not to have passed over Peter if he had been at Rome.
There is biblical proof for Peter being in Rome (Calvin seems to equivocate and is a bit unclear what he actually thinks regarding this matter). The Catholic Answers tract, Was Peter in Rome? states:
"The Church here in Babylon, united with you by God's election, sends you her greeting, and so does my son, Mark" (1 Pet. 5:13, Knox). Babylon is a code-word for Rome. It is used that way multiple times in works like the Sibylline Oracles (5:159f), the Apocalypse of Baruch (2:1), and 4 Esdras (3:1). Eusebius Pamphilius, in The Chronicle, composed about A.D. 303, noted that "It is said that Peter's first epistle, in which he makes mention of Mark, was composed at Rome itself; and that he himself indicates this, referring to the city figuratively as Babylon."Even the thoroughly Protestant Bible Knowledge Commentary (p. 857) thinks the "Babylon = Rome" explanation for 1 Peter 5:13 quite plausible. Bible scholar Reinhard Feldmeier takes the same position (The First Letter of Peter, Baylor University Press, 2008, pp. 41-42). A. T. Robertson, in Word Pictures in the New Testament (introduction for 1st Peter) agrees:
Consider now the other New Testament citations: "Another angel, a second, followed, saying, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion'" (Rev. 14:8). "The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath" (Rev. 16:19). "[A]nd on her forehead was written a name of mystery: 'Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations'" (Rev. 17:5). "And he called out with a mighty voice, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great'" (Rev. 18:2). "[T]hey will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, 'Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has thy judgment come'" (Rev. 18:10). "So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence" (Rev. 18:21).
These references can't be to the one-time capital of the Babylonian empire. That Babylon had been reduced to an inconsequential village by the march of years, military defeat, and political subjugation; it was no longer a "great city." It played no important part in the recent history of the ancient world. From the New Testament perspective, the only candidates for the "great city" mentioned in Revelation are Rome and Jerusalem.
. . . The authorities knew that Peter was a leader of the Church, and the Church, under Roman law, was considered organized atheism. (The worship of any gods other than the Roman was considered atheism.) Peter would do himself, not to mention those with him, no service by advertising his presence in the capital—after all, mail service from Rome was then even worse than it is today, and letters were routinely read by Roman officials. Peter was a wanted man, as were all Christian leaders. Why encourage a manhunt? We also know that the apostles sometimes referred to cities under symbolic names (cf. Rev. 11:8).
So we can think of Rome as the place of writing and that Peter uses "Babylon" to hide his actual location from Nero.Many other Protestant commentators could be brought forth in favor of this opinion. It's not just a Catholic argument. It is a legitimate exegetical opinion, regardless of affiliation. See also:

Seven students at Shawnee State University attended the Model Arab League (MAL) at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in February.
The League is similar to the Model UN, and students represented one of the Arab League's 22-member states.
The MAL began in 1983, when student delegates representing 20 schools gathered at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. to participate in what they thought would be a one-time simulation.
Over the next 27 years, the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations' Model Arab League has grown to the point where 14 Models are held annually throughout grassroots America. These November-through-April events would include more than 2,000 students, 200 universities and secondary schools, hundreds of faculty advisers, and will be held in 11 cities. Since that first year more than 35,000 students have participated in the Model Arab League Program.
Student delegates work to achieve consensus on questions and they write, debate, and pass resolutions that seek to resolve some of the Arab countries' most difficult challenges. The dynamics and interactive nature of the role-playing among the students stimulate critical thinking, heighten creativity, expand knowledge, and cultivate understanding.
Four SSU delegates received an Honorable Mention-Delegate award for their representation of Lebanon.
"This has been our most successful trip ever to a MAL conference," said Mandie Maxwell, president of the International Forum at SSU.
Maxwell has been participating in MAL for several years and received the Saudi Arabia Winter fellowship that included an expense-paid study visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last year. It will continue for one year when she will provide outreach to share her experience in the Saudi culture.

WILLIAMSON - Due to the inclement weather that is predicted to hit the Tug Valley area, Trick-or-Treat times have changed for Mingo County as well as in Pike and Martin Counties in Kentucky.
All three counties will hold Trick-or-Treat on Thursday evening, November 1, between the hours of 6-8 p.m. These changes were made after the threat of bad weather became a distinct possibility.
The Mingo County Commission conducted a special meeting Monday afternoon to discuss the change and to also speak about the weather predictions and plans in place to assure that the residents of the county will be safe if the storm arrives. The annual Williamson Kiwanis Club party at the Fieldhouse has also been postponed until Thursday.
Pike County Judge Executive Wayne T. Rutherford and Martin County Judge Executive Kelly Callaham made the decision to postpone their Halloween events to allow a more safe and secure atmosphere for area children.
Per Cheryl Sullivan, Mall Manager, The Southside Mall, located at Goody, Ky. have also changed their activities until Thursday evening, with the costume contest slated to begin at 5:45 p.m. Businesses inside the mall will pass out treats from 7-8 p.m. If you have questions about the mall event, you may call 606-237-1200.


text: Hmm JDS got hit pretty solidly by Cro Cop and Nelson...and Cain obviously, and Hunt hits alot harder than those guys. JDS is also very heavy on that lead leg and I think Hunt knows he can land some of his hard leg kicks in this fight. Wouldn't surprise me to see Hunt get a KO. I also like Hunt getting right back into camp after his fight with Struve, coming off the long layoff. He seems like the guy that likes to take it kinda easy in between fights, and I just like the idea of him keeping the ball rolling and hopping right back into another camp after just coming off of a fight.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – After losing the first-three games this weekend, the New Mexico State baseball team avoided a four-game sweep at the hands of Oakland on Sunday afternoon by defeating the Golden Grizzlies, 17-2, at Presley Askew Field.
The game was stopped after the top half of the seventh inning because of the 10-run mercy rule. The Aggies improve to 7-5 on the season while Oakland falls to .500 at 4-4.
For the first time this weekend, NM State got a complete overall game, as the offense, defense and pitching all had a good showing.
The offense belted out 21 hits en route to the 17 runs while the defense only had one error on a tough throw to first. The pitching staff, meanwhile, only allowed six hits and one walk while striking out five Oakland batters in seven innings. Of the Golden Grizzlies' two runs only one of them was earned.
Senior first baseman Kris Koerper, as has become habit, had another big day for the Aggies. The Las Cruces native went 4-for-5 on the day including a two-run double and three-run shot over the right-field wall that opened up the NM State scoring. Koerper scored two runs and marked a season-high five RBIs.
NM State's 1-2 hitters went a combined 6-for-9 versus the Golden Grizzlies on Sunday as leadoff hitter Michael Medina went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBIs while second baseman Jory Goldstrom went 3-for-4 and touched home plate three times.
The Aggies got a great start from senior right-hander Kyle Kilgore who won his second game of the season to improve to 2-0. Kilgore pitched five strong innings, only allowing five hits and a walk while striking out four batters. Relievers Quentin Mansfield and Trey Gonzales came in and pitched the sixth and seventh innings, respectively, holding the Golden Grizzlies scoreless while only allowing one hit.
NM State jumped out in front with six runs on five hits and a couple of walks during the bottom half of the second inning. The big hit, of course, was Koerper's three-run blast off of Oakland starter Chris Van Dyke, who was pulled after the inning.
After the Golden Grizzlies scored a run in the top of the fourth to make it 6-1, the Aggies came back with three runs in their half of the inning. Medina started off the inning with a bunt single and Goldstrom followed with a double to right-center that moved Medina to third.
One batter later Koerper came up and slammed a double to left-center, scoring Medina and Goldstrom and marking Koerper's fourth and fifth RBI of the day. Koerper later scored himself on an RBI single by third baseman Derek Umphres. NM State led 9-1 after four innings of play.
Once again Oakland picked up a run in the top half of the next inning, only to see the Aggies come storming back with multiple runs of their own, this time a seven-run fifth inning that put the Golden Grizzlies and the game away for good. NM State would have six hits in the inning, including an RBI double by Medina and a two-RBI single by sophomore Kevin Carswell, who was pinch hitting for catcher Taylor Noyer.
The Aggies would go on to add another run in the bottom half of the sixth inning after a walk with the bases loaded by shortstop Kent Blackstone. Oakland would go down in order in the seventh as NM State picked up its seventh victory of the season, and first of the series, 17-2.
NM State will now hit the road for their longest road trip of the season. The Aggies will play 11-straight games away from home and will not return to Presley Askew Field until March 25 when they host rival New Mexico.
The road trip will take NM State to California for four games with UC-Davis and to Edinburg, Texas, to play Texas-Pan American. But the trip begins with a four-game series against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. The series is set to begin Thursday, March 6, with one game each day until Sunday, March 9.

Description of Research
Dr. Isaacs' laboratory focuses on using poxviruses as a model system to study viral proteins that are involved in viral pathogenesis, dissemination, and evasion of the host immune response. Poxviruses, which are used widely as a tool for research and vaccine development, express proteins that inhibit complement activation, bind IL-1, TNF, and interferons, and decrease the host inflammatory response by other mechanisms. Elucidation of these processes could lead to a safer virus vector. Furthermore, the study of these defense molecules encoded by the virus might give insights into the control of inflammation, as well as, the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs. The laboratory has also been pursuing the use of vaccinia virus as a vaccine vector. They are investigating a novel way of targeting foreign antigens to the outer envelope of the vaccinia virion. Presentation of antigens in this manner may result in enhanced immunity against the foreign antigen when compared to standard vaccinia virus vectors. The lab is also involved with anti-bioterrorism research. Dr. Isaacs was the poxvirus program project leader for the Middle Atlantic Regional Center of Excellence in Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases. His lab is developing safer smallpox vaccines as well as therapies to treat smallpox and complications from the current smallpox.

Kansas City, Mo. - The Nebraska women's tennis team faced stiff competition in day two matches at the Mizzou Tennis Invite on Saturday. Nebraska began the day facing Oklahoma State then Mizzou in doubles followed by singles against Princeton.
Oklahoma State dominated the Huskers in doubles action, sweeping all the matches. OSU's No. 47-ranked Kanyapat Narattana and Carla Tur Mari scorced NU's Lisa Andersson and Mary Hanna 8-2 while fellow Cowgirls Maria Alvarez and Karyn Guttormsen bested Nebraska's Brittany Brewster and Maggy Lehmicke 8-3. The last match saw Oklahoma State's Megan and Morgan McCray defeat the scarlet and cream's Maike Zeppernick and Hannah Sulz 8-5. Nebraksa's Izabella Zgierska and Lauren Wagner stepped in to fill the Princeton and Missouri matches and toppled Mizzou's Tracy Dong and Rachel Stuhlmann 8-3. NU's Katerina Matysova partnered with OSU's Mariah Burke in a 1-8 exhibition match loss to MU's Alex Clark and Madison Rhyner.
Next up for the Huskers was doubles against Missouri. Nebraska's Lehmicke and Matysova fell to Mizzou's Cierra Gaytan-Leach and Cassidy Spearman 5-8 as fellow Big Red teammates Brewster and Zgierska were ousted by Tigers Elisha Gabb and Kelli Hine 5-8. NU's Hanna and Zeppernick fell to MU's Clark and Rhyner 6-8 while Huskers Andersson and Sulz stumbled against Missouri's Dong and Stuhlmann 4-8. Wagner paired up with OSU's Burke to lose an exhibition match to OSU's McCray duo 5-8.
The Cornhuskers finished the match facing Princeton in singles action. Nebraska's Brewster swept past PU's Dorothy Tang 6-1, 6-1 while the Huskers' Hanna suffered an injury forcing her to retire the match, giving Princeton's Alanna Wolff the default victory. The scarlet and cream's Andersson was beat by the Tigers' Emily Hahn 4-6, 1-6 as NU's Lehmicke was narrowly edged out by PU's Katherine Flanigan 4-6, 4-6. Nebraska's Matysova emerged victorious over Mizzou's Rhyner 7-6, 6-4.

Absolutely agree . . .so . . .then what you'd have to then also say is that the written word isn't ENOUGH .. .yes? That basing a belief according to what is written would be ill-advised . . .yes?Without the "proceeding" word a "flowing/moving/breathing" word. One that isn't already written in a book, but instead, one that is written upon the hearts . . .which goes back to "UPON THIS ROCK". It's the INWARD unveiling in us that Christ builds his church on . . .his church consists of direct revelational truth from God to man. "That" word is what leads us to ascended places from which we enter into different perspectives of kingdom principles . . .from which . . .when we do read what "is" written, we see it to be saying completely different things than reasoning and logic has taught.The proceeding word is a Word that moves, that flows "from" us. The kingdom of God does not come by observation, it's "in you".
Ephesians 2:15;by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace
Sorry Nathan, but those are some of my honest understandings brother. Molly, that's interesting. With Jesus saying not to live on bread alone, but then saying HE's the manna/bread, that's a bit of a head scratcher. He must be talking about two different "breads"? Because obviously He's the Alpha and Omega, in Him we live, breathe, etc....
1 Corinthians 10;1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was CHRISit T.
Nathan:You're right, this is where we differ and I challenge.Where are you saying we differ, and what are you challenging? I challenge that we need to be very careful with statements we make as far as how we handle the written Word - that we need to be as sure as we can be that we don't make ambiguous or half-statements that leave things appearing that we don't embrace scripture. I also challenge that Jesus didn't say we don't live by bread. He said we don't live by bread ALONE, which is what I believe I clearly posted.
Then check this out!:Joshua 5:12;The manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year.
Matthew 4:4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.What is the "bread alone"?

Northern Arizona Lumberjacks
NAU's Murphy ready to lead a program, face Arizona Wildcats
First-year Northern Arizona University men's basketball coach Jack Murphy didn't always know he wanted to lead a program.
Then again, he did know he wanted to coach in some capacity -- something he learned while serving under Josh Pastner at the University of Memphis.
"I think that after spending the last few years in Memphis and seeing how he adjusted and ran his own program, it made me want to have my own program more and more," Murphy told ArizonaSports.com's Bearing Down with Adam and Jarrett. "So it's something that's kind of developed in terms of my desire to be a head coach, but coaching and the game of basketball is something I've known I wanted to do for a long, long time."
Murphy, 33, worked with Lute Olson in Arizona from 1998-2006, George Karl in Denver from 2006-2009, and Pastner 2009-2012. He said he learned from each of his stops along the coaching trail, and by the time the Northern Arizona job opened up, he knew he was ready to move up the ladder.it do
"It was a job that I pursued," he said. "It opened up last December and we were in the thick of our season there at Memphis but I was keeping an eye on things, always with my first attention being Memphis."
Murphy said he kept his finger on the pulse of the school's search process, and with some help from "many other people, Josh Pastner included," learned what he needed to do to put his name in the hat.
"Once I was able to secure an interview the rest is, I guess as they say, history."
So Murphy got the job, and is now tasked with turning around a team that went just 5-24 last season with one conference win. NAU has experienced success before -- especially when Ben Howland was pacing the sidelines in the late 90s -- but had fallen on hard times that ultimately led to the resignation of Mike Adras early last season.
The new coach said he has no reservations about taking the job, but has since learned it's a better situation than he realized.
"I knew it had a great campus and a great community up here, it was beautiful," he said. "What I didn't realize is all the improvements that they've made on campus and the improvements they've started to make with the athletic department.
"As good as of a job as I thought it was to start with, it turned out to be a better job."
Of course, that's easy to say now, as Murphy is in the honeymoon phase of a job that could prove to be fairly challenging. Flagstaff is not a bad place to go to college, but as a first-time head coach in a state with a pair of Pac-12 basketball programs, recruiting elite talent could be a challenge.
Murphy does not see it as so much of an issue, though, saying the trick is simply getting kids on the NAU campus.
"Once we get them on campus they're really surprised by how nice it is and how wonderful it is," he said. "Every kid we've had on campus is like, �Coach, this is a lot better than I thought it would be.'"
One of the younger coaches in the nation, Murphy said he and his staff recruit the Valley hard and try to convince as many as possible to drive up north during the summer to check out the campus to get them interested, and from there the stage is set to bring them back for more visits and hopefully a commitment.
"NAU kind of recruits itself once you get kids up here," he said.
One of the Murphy's top recruits is freshman guard Dewayne Russell, an Arizona High School Player of the Year from Peoria who is averaging 15.8 points per game this season. At 5-foot-11 and 155 pounds he is not one of the bigger players on the court, but has made a great impact in his first year.
"He's just played beyond his years," Murphy said. "He takes care of the basketball; he's somebody that I trust at any point in the game with the ball in his hands; and he's not only a good scorer, but he's a very good distributor."
Murphy and the Lumberjacks will look to Russell and senior guard Gabe Rogers to have big games Wednesday in Tucson against the ninth-ranked Wildcats, which is a place the Lumberjacks nearly pulled off an upset just two years ago.
This will be Murphy's first time coaching against Arizona in Tucson, and second time overall. He was with Memphis two years ago when the Wildcats knocked the Tigers out of the NCAA Tournament, and said it's been a while since he even stepped foot in the McKale Center.
"Once we get down there and once the ball is tipped it's just going to be like any other game," he said. "I think it was strange with Josh and I when we played Arizona a couple years ago in the Tournament when we were at Memphis; I don't know how strange it will be for me on Wednesday."
It will also be, as Murphy indicated, a great challenge.
"They're absolutely loaded," he said of the Wildcats. "They've done a great job recruiting and then also coaching up the players they already had in the program.
"You just look one through nine or 10 or 11, they have talent across the board. For our guys it's important that we play NAU basketball, we execute on our end offensively, and we do a good job defensively finishing plays, finishing possessions."
Following Wednesday night's tilt the Lumberjacks will return to Flagstaff and play at home for the first time when they host Sam Houston State Saturday after six straight road games to begin the season. It's been a tough stretch so far, as NAU is just 2-3, but Murphy believes it will pay off down the road.
"We'll be able to come back home this Saturday after U of A and have our heads held high and know that we have a lot of home games remaining on our schedule where we can kind of get on a roll," he said. "It's been a good experience for our guys, and we're just looking forward to getting back home and regrouping once it's all over with."

Tim Cook tells competitors to invent their own stuff -- Apple is not the world's developer
Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked during Apple's Q2 2012 conference call how he felt about ongoing patent litigation, and whether he might be more open to a settlement or resolution than his predecessor, Steve Jobs might have been. Cooks answer was pretty much the same now as it was before he became CEO -- he doesn't like litigation, but he also doesn't like other companies using what he feels are Apple innovations to sell competing products. Cook also took it a step further, saying Apple cannot become the developer for the world. Although he didn't elaborate, it seemed to be along the same theme as previous statements -- he believes Apple competitors should invent their own stuff rather than copying Apple.
Apple is currently engaged in lawsuits with Android manufacturers including Samsung, Motorola, and HTC. The late Steve Jobs seems to have taken particular, personal offense at Android using what he felt were Apple innovations and giving them away "promiscuously". According to Jobs' biographer, Walter Isaacson:
[The Microsoft Windows situation was] almost copied verbatim by Android. And then they licence it around promiscuously. And then Android starts surpassing Apple in market share, and this totally infuriated him. It wasn't a matter of money. He said: 'You can't pay me off, I'm here to destroy you'.
This followed Jobs' famous scorched-earth vow:
I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this. [...] I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want.
Some have hoped that Tim Cook might bring a different temperament to the situation, and indeed he will be meeting with the head(s) of Samsung to discuss points of resolution in their case.
However, based on his statements today, it doesn't sound like he's making any drastic policy changes at this point.
(Nor is he addressing examples of Apple using Google and Palm-style elements, like Notifications, in iOS.)

Tim Cook tells competitors to invent their own stuff -- Apple is not the world's developer
To be fair, if it wasn't for the iPhone Android problably wouldn't be what it is today and most cell phones wouldn't look so "iPhone"ish. It's undeniable that Apple set new grounds in technology and then "magically" all these companies have competitor products that practically mimic the hardware and the software of iPhone and iPad.
Look familiar? That was 2002. Grid of icons and touch interface, similar to iOS.. Every one of your statements can substitute Palm for Apple and Android for Apple. Technology has always been built on innovating over prior ideas.
Let's stop arguing over old arguments based on Steve Jobs' warped sense of history and just enjoy the great innovations both Apple AND Google are bringing us.
The fact that Cook didn't bring up Apple blatantly copying Android's notification pull down or iMessage being a rip of BBM is telling. Apple is hardly the "world's developer". If anything, they are stagnating and iterating on prior designs rather than bringing new innovations to market.
I think they need Android to keep them on their toes and they both push the industry forward in their own way.
The existence of Android should not in any way diminish the enjoyment of your device. No one company should have a death grip on the mobile market.
Exactly! When the iPhone first came out, I honestly didn't understand the buzz around it. My Palm had a very similar OS and far superior capability. Granted, Apple immediately overtook Palm in terms of quality and stability, and of course capacitive touch was superior to resistive, but it took them YEARS to match the functionality that Palm had been offering for some time. Once they did, Palm offered too little too late to continue competing.
The question posed to Tim Cook was about patent litigation. The statement was not about "idea" theft. You cannot protect a mere "idea." A basic understanding of intellectual property informs us that an "idea" is not protectable. It is free to be, taken by anyone. Call it stolen if you want it makes no difference. What you can protect is the "tangible expression of an idea." And that is all that Tim is responding to. That is what litigation covers. Patents do not protect an "idea."
This lack of perspective does nothing but highlight your own limitations.
Apple is running out of ideas.
Developers for the world ? Hardly.
Sure iPhone was cool. But hasn't developed much since first release as the main interface is 90% the same as it was 5 years ago. Anything else added was stolen from others. That's not developing ;)
Cook , you don't have a chance in this industry if you're gonna be this cocky without having facts to back you up.
Jobs had vision and he was modest and charming. Without him, Apple is nothing. They're just surviving on his ideas for another couple years.
While there are aspects of iOS that needs to be updated, the interface (while so many years old) and the OS in general is still ahead of anything else in most ways. Why jack with something while it's still unmatched? It's odd that something so "old and simple" has yet to be duplicated. You can't point me to a single Android device out there that performs as smoothly has iOS.
I own both an iPhone 4S and the Galaxy Nexus and ICS runs just as smooth as the iPhone and is arguably more beautiful in its implementation. I say arguably only because beauty in design is a personal taste rather than a cold hard fact. In my opinion, it blows it away.
Android is much more functional than iOS in terms of customization and utility and its design has come a long way from where it was only a couple short years ago, whereas iOS has the same tired design that has barely changed at all.
If you dislike the design of Android, that's fine, but don't argue your opinion as a fact because design is not a quantifiable, measurable metric, much like art.
IOS is far from perfect and has its share of bugs. No device or OS is perfect, but ICS is very fluid and well designed.
I don't think Forestal is going to sit around and do nothing. If anything he will have more freedom under Cook than Jobs.
Well if.that's how they feel. Then they better not use widgets, live wallpapers, opening the camara or automatically send a pre written text from the lock screen, true multitasking and so on. I love how they don't see anything wrong with adding notifications and a bbm like message system. Seems like Apple likes to steal, but can't stand to be the victim.
what exactly is apple's invention? an OS? touch screen? an application store? a cell phone?
and there is our first fruit fanboy!
why don't u put that in mathematical equation and show what's original minus generic traits!
oh wait..let me add few more stupid traits..
siri = google copied siri and created google voice
notificaiton = google shamelessly copied apple there
OTA Updates, Wifi Sync, iMessage and the list goes on......
Apples greatest creation was and is their ability to spin the press and bloggers info speaking/writing about their products non-stop... not to mention the millions of fans who also believe Apple can do no wrong. So far it appears no other company has been able to copy that act.
This cultish mentality apple fanboys have is quite intriguing I've never seen it anywhere but with apple where average consumers that have zero input and no profit and absolutely no worth to apple promote and advertise for free basically give a company free labor it's remarkable!
You guys are making it real hard to troll...knock it off! ;)
Unless some of you can come up with a miracle solution on how to deal with patents and simultaneous innovations I suggest we remain silent because there aren't many sensible things to say actually. May the best win !
It's hilarious to see all the tiny minds on this site arguing about all the copied little features and missing the point of what was being said completely. The steady increase of dunning-kruger since the idiot portal links at the top of the page are worth the price of admission alone.
I have owned a BB and an Android phone. Both times within weeks i was itching for something. I wasn't sure what it was. But I knew I wasn't happy. iPhone 4 comes to Big Red and bang! I have been happy with it for as long as I have had it. the BB is just plain worthless. unless you like plain and boring. the Android has an app store with apps that appear to be made by children. patent stealing or not. copying or not. iOS and the iPhone are better. End of story.
The statement is 100% true - only it need not be taken literally.
Apple is not the world's developer - they only make better other's technologies, make it popular and call it their own, forgetting where it actually came from.
Surely, competitors need to invent their own - otherwise where will Apple get things to copy/ make better from?
Somebody needs to remind Mr.Cook the origin of all the technology Apple products use! Apple is spoiling the whole game of technological innovations with all these lawsuits.
it is absolutely unfortunate that when talking about iphone the only other os they mention is android completely leaving out operating systems like windows phone 7 due to market share you if not for lack of developers making quality apps for windows it is easily on par with iphone in terms of fluidity and functionality as much as you like your iphones guess what they are far from perfect and anyone who would give a leg or an arm for them for no gain is a moron im sorry thats they truth IMHO i use a lumia 900 does that make me stupid for buying something i enjoy more than your precious apple.... technology will cease to advance because of all the litigation and it seems all you fools are for it... stop defending they stupid lawsuits and defend advancement in tech
WP 7 is pretty slick, however I wonder how many people look at it and say "I can't use my pictures as wallpaper" and dismiss it without even really trying it.
Never overestimate the average consumer's likeliness to buy what would best meet their needs. They like shiny. They like gimmicks. That's the core of Apple's success in the mobile world.
I can't believe we're still having this argument. The iPhone is obviously far superior to any other phone, Steve Jobs said it is so it has to be true. Android has always been copying ios, they even stole ios's notification center and then RIM comes along and makes up this BBM thing, obviously a rip off of iMessage. The iPhone is the best even though I've never used any other smartphone and have nothing to go on except what i heard from my apple fanboy friends who heard it from their fanboy friends. Its the fastest, its the best, its 100% original and nothing else even comes close, if the iPhone doesn't have 4g and a 4" screen then I don't need them.
Out of the distortion field and back to reality... there are some things I miss from my 3 android phones before i switched to my 4s and there are some things I like more about iOS. Honestly, I'll probably get bored with it and go try a windows phone in a year. I won't bash anything I haven't tried and I'm almost ashamed to own an iPhone simply because i don't want to be considered an apple fanboy. The cult following behind apple is ridiculous.
its all a matter of preference. people get caught up on what they think is their side, but really, its just an industry trying to make money off of everyone. being a 20 yr cellphone user, i've stuck to brands for yrs, cause they were the best made, offered the most features, or were leading the way to new innovations. Nokia, Motorola, Palm, Samsung, BB, Apple, w/ numerous versions of each along the way. currently, i'm very happy w/ my ip4, & waiting to see what this year brings. Just remember, people aren't stupid for liking something that you don't. its like arguing about the scissors your barber or hairdresser uses. if your happy w/ your choice, awesome, if not, fine. But its more helpful to everyone to view all of them fairly. don't knock one if you haven't truly tried it. Some people are still using Motorola's original razr's, & if that's the experience they are happy with, who are we to tell them they are wrong.
No, i disagree apple can't patent such simple ideas like multitouch etc. especially hardware because nowadays let's just face it... all phones are almost exactly the same, in terms of hardware because all they are are massive touch screens especially with tablets. However i do agree that android copied iOS from the start but for iOS to develop and get better to compete with android apple stole some idea off android and put in iOS. But overall I think the patent system should be completely re-thoughtout. but honestly i think windows phone will win once it has more apps, because it definetely hasnt copied anyone and has come up with a new, unique, simple and easier to use design than the other 2.
The vast majority of software IP is unprotectable, because once someone sees it it becomes obvious. Not that government won't try to back such protections.
Convergence was always going to happen. People have been writing about it for years. Pretty much everything you do with a mobile device, connected or not, is straightforward. Issuing IP protections is ludicrous.
Check out the story of how Richard Feynman got his patent on the nuclear submarine. That alone should tell you something about how silly the whole system is.
I think they should fire all the lawyers and all just shut up and build better products.
