Catch a Fish to Win a Cool Under Armour Shirt
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service (DNR) is offering a chance to win free Maryland Fishing Challenge shirts to avid anglers who participate and enter their catch in the Maryland Angler Award program.
Once a month, DNR staff will randomly draw a name from the list of Angler Award achievers who have caught and registered qualifying fish in that month. Angler Award achievers who register their fish between September 3, 2012 and September 2, 2013 will receive invitations to the 2013 Maryland Fishing Challenge Grand Awards Celebration at Sandy Point Park during the Maryland Seafood Festival. The shirts are mostly extra large or larger 2012 Maryland Fishing Challenge Under Armour Heat Gear t-shirts. DNR will announce the winners on the DNR Fisheries Facebook and Diamond Jim pages.
Septembers winner is Tom Donnelly of Edgewater, MD who caught a 24-inch Spanish mackerel in the South River.

Artist Held for 'I Love NY' Work Released
An artist arrested on Saturday for setting up an illuminated "I Love New York"-themed public art display in Brooklyn that was mistaken for an explosive device has been released on his own recognizance.
Takeshi Miyakawa, a visual artist and furniture designer, says he still loves New York, but he won't be attempting another artistic project like this again any time soon.
As he finally exited the courthouse about two hours after the hearing ended, he was greeted by a group of friends. He said the arrest was a shock but that he was even more alarmed that the residents of a block in Williamsburg were evacuated on Saturday because of the investigation.
"I'm really sorry about this," he said.
He added, his next steps include "a long bath and [having] a beer."
He was released at a hearing held on Wednesday. Kings County Supreme Court Judge William Garnett said he must still submit to a 730 mental exam. Miyakawa found that surprising.
"I mean, do I look like an insane person?" Takeshi asked. "I'm quite eccentric and I'm not dressed too nice, I was a bit surprised. Then again, never know what the judge was thinking."
Miyakawa has been held since 2 a.m. on Saturday when he was arrested while placing a plastic "I Love New York" bag that contained a battery onto a public lamp post. On Friday, a caller reported a suspicious package to police, which was a similar plastic bag containing a battery suspended from a metal rod attached to a tree. The bag was connected by a wire to a plastic box that contained more wires.
The area was evacuated for two hours until a bomb squad determined that the device was not dangerous.
The artist's friend, Louis Lim, said Monday that the art installation was nothing more than a translucent plastic bag with a battery-powered flashlight inside it.
Miyakawa said he would never attempt another outdoor art project of this nature without a permit
The 50-year-old Tokyo native was charged with two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, two counts of placing a false bomb or hazardous substance in the first degree, two counts of placing a false bomb or hazardous substance in the second degree, two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment and two counts of second-degree criminal nuisance.
Miyakawa has worked for the New York-based architect Rafael Vinoly for the last 20 years and has an independent design practice.

As Prepared
Thank you, Minster-Delegate Bouaida, and thank you, Ambassador Bouhlal, for hosting this important event.
This ceremony highlights our long standing relationship with the Kingdom or Morocco and what we hope will be an equally successful future partnership. We have had an exceptionally positive experience working with the Kingdom through the ATA program since 1986, and we are enthusiastic about moving into a new phase of this partnership.
The signing of the Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) is particularly timely in that it comes at a time when the U.S. is working to ensure that its counterterrorism strategy effectively counters the emerging global threat. As President Obama underscored in his speech at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in May, the U.S. cannot tackle the terrorist threat on its own. As the threat becomes more diffuse and decentralized all over the world, our partners -- who are facing many of the same threats -- and their efforts take on increased importance.
Morocco's law enforcement community has demonstrated a strong willingness to build and sustain Counterterrorism (CT) capacity both within Morocco's own borders and in the wider region. In particular, with Morocco's advanced capacities in the areas of crisis management, investigations, and border security, the Kingdom is now in a position to share this set of skills and expertise with its friends and allies to build long term stability in the region.
Morocco has taken other important steps to counter the growth of extremism, as well. We applaud the King's initiative to build relationships with Moroccan and Malian Imams, and we welcome the effort to disseminate common narratives on extremism. Clearly, defeating terrorism will not just be a function of law enforcement and security, though those components are fundamental; it will also be a function of rule of law, tolerance, and a wider understanding of social trends that lend themselves to the development of extremism and extremist groups.
This Trilateral Cooperation initiative we are signing today is further evidence that Morocco is a regional CT leader. The MOU is only one component of the many bilateral efforts on which our two governments have worked together. Morocco has also been an exceptional partner in many multilateral initiatives, and here I would highlight in particular Morocco's work in the GCTF context on the problem of foreign fighters.
Through the Memorandum of Understanding on Trilateral Cooperation we are signing here today, the U.S. government is signaling that we strongly support Morocco's desire to share their expertise with key partners in North and West Africa. The U.S. is grateful for the opportunity to work once again alongside and in support of Morocco's fight against terrorism, and we are sure the fruits of this newest form of collaboration will be profound and immediate.

Formosa Plastics' Ningbo Cracker Project Excluded from China's Five-Year Plan
July 26, 2011 | Natasha Alperowicz
Formosa Plastics chairman William Wang is trying to reverse a decision by the provincial government of Zhejiang, China to exclude Formosa Plastics' previously announced plan to build a refinery and a naphtha cracker at Ningbo from China's current economic development program, the Taiwan Economic News reports today. The project, which would cost about $4.5 billion, is not included in the national 12th Five Year Plan. Formosa Plastics operates several petrochemical facilities at Ningbo based on imported feedstocks, and it has been lobbying the Taiwanese and...

RB Bilal Powell had the audience he wanted at Louisville's pro day, but a hamstring injury forced him to end his workout early.
There were 20 teams in attendance Thursday, including eight running back coaches. Powell, who suffered a similar injury at the combine, will have to see how quickly he can recover in an attempt to try to run again before the draft.
Despite the recent injury problems, Powell proved durable during his time at Louisville. He's in the second tier of running backs and could come off the board in the fourth-round range.
Here are some other notables from the 20 players who worked out indoors, on FieldTurf:
TE Cameron Graham (6-foot-3, 242 pounds) — He ran 5.08 and 5.02 in the 40-yard dash. He also had a 30 1/2-inch vertical, 9-1 board jump and kept his other numbers from the combine.
DB Johnny Patrick (5-11, 188) – Turned in a 4.52 and 4.46 40 time, a 4.30 short shuttle and stood on his other numbers from the combine.
Powell (5-10 1/2, 207) – Posted a time of 4.54 seconds in the 40 before hurting his hamstring.
WR Troy Pascley (6-1 1/4, 193) – He had 40 times of 4.69 and 4.68, 4.58 short shuttle and didn't run the three-cone drill. He also had a 36 vertical and 10-6 broad jump.
OT Byron Stingly (6-5, 313) – He ran 4.98 and 4.98 in the 40, 4.48 in the short shuttle and 7.64 in three-cone. He posted a 27 1/2 vertical, 9-2 broad jump and 25 reps on the bench.

Andrew Johns and Allan Robinson agree to front the Racing NSW inquiry into the More Joyous affair
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- May 07, 2013
UPDATE: NRL great Andrew Johns and former jockey Allan Robinson have finally agreed to appear before Racing NSW stewards to answer questions about the controversial More Joyous affair.
Johns and Robinson were no-shows at yesterday's explosive inquiry as stewards investigated owner John Singleton's allegations that he had been informed More Joyous had problems and could not win the All Aged Stakes at Randwick on April 27.
More Joyous opened as favourite, eased on track and then ran one of the worst races of her career to finish a well beaten seventh behind All Too Hard.
The evidence of Johns and Robinson is seen as crucial as stewards continue their investigations into what bookie Tom Waterhouse is alleged to have said about More Joyous prior to the race.
Sydney brothel owner Eddie Hayson also refused to attend the stewards inquiry as requested yesterday and has not yet given any indication whether he has had a change of heart.

Have we not already been over this?! You are taking two people who (unless it has something to actually do with horse racing) no body really cares what they do. These people have plenty money does the media really believe what is happening in their lives will have any consequence? In a months time they will both be best mates again and they will both have book deals to cash in on about the whole thing.

If a horse is injured or sick before a race it should be disclosed to the public, not the few who make money off the masses (ie Tom Waterhouse). In business if a company was to lie to its shareholders or not disclosed how "sick" it was then management can be taken to court. This should be the case in racing. Many people would have placed money on that horse with the belief that it was running at 100%. And who was it that ruled there was no conflict of interest in having a trainer and two bookmakers in the same house? Ridiculousâ¦what else would they talk about at the kitchen tableâ¦.wake up to yourselves..!

Horse racing is a mugs game, all you punters losing your hard earned money over races that are most probably rigged. Too easy to pay a jockey cash-$$$ to hold a horse back, and too easy to dope a horse to go a bit faster or if need be a bit slower.
Comment 16 of 52
Terence of Wollongong Posted at 2:35 PM May 06, 2013
They will never find out who said what to who. The point here is that there is an obvious potential conflict of interest between the Waterhouses. What they can do to satisfy horse owners and punters that information isn't being shared is the only issue going forward. Each Waterhouse has the right to run their pwn business. What they can do however to prove to the public that there is no sharing of information is the million dollar question. I don't know whether that is possible.
Comment 17 of 52
Brad Bobbermein of Qld Posted at 2:37 PM May 06, 2013
While there may or may not be anything untoward in all of this, Waterhouse has left herself exposed to very real conflict of interest by son Waterhouse's entry into bookmaking and not taking appropriate steps to professionally divorce both their business interests. Thus drags on the continuing saga of the Waterhouse family. No real sympathy for them because in everyday business anyone with a potential conflict of interest has to declare that interest and provide satisfactory proof of safeguard. Maybe the Racing Industry should enforce this to protect the punters, the public and the Industry.

You will never get the truth out of that lot. There is a conflict of interest Tom should have become a horse trainer like his grandfather & mother not a bookie like his convicted father. (fine cotton - that was shocking). I feel sorry for Singo I don't blame him for being angry and upset. Like I said CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Regardless of the outcome (the powers that be will let Gai off light) surely there is a massive conflict of interest here with her as a trainer and her son as a bookmaker (Robbie owns part of the book). Intersted to see if Racing NSW decide to act or let Gai off as per usual.

Sounds like the horse had a sore neck and could not pick grass cant pick grass cant race in my opinion,If there was any small question of doubt about the horses health it should have been scratched and then got totally fit and able to race another day.However this should not have been discussed outside the stable only to the stewards to scratch the horse from the race

Adrian van Leest of Campbell Act 2612 Posted at 8:53 PM May 06, 2013
Tom's admission that he lost $256,000 on the All Aged Stakes, but would have profited $137,500 had More Joyous won indicates the extent of the plunge caused by the word around Randwick of More Joyous's fitness to race, it had nothing to do with which horse Tom may have backed. In fact, the drift in her price was a voluntary and necessary act on the part of all bookmakers in light of the rumours and the subsequent money for All Too Hard.

Singo is a true blue aussie. They dont complain much and have loyalties in the extreme. To go to these lengths begs the question why. He is not a young man and as such experienced gut feeling counts for a lot, smell a rat I think we all can. I am a punter, to keep me in the game I hope all the angles are explored without prejudice or I will be out of the game.

I wonder that Singleton let the 'you're old' crack go by without a suitable riposte, like reminding Waterhouse to glance at a mirror and that she isn't exactly in the flower of her youth anymore either. The Waterhouse family are slimebags going back a long way, and not just to Fine Cotton, and though there's obviously no way you can prevent certain people from getting marrying, the fact a prominent trainer and bookie should tie the knot and produce a high profile son like Tom should have the racing industry watching the family's operations VERY closely, because the whole thing is a conflict of interest of major proportions and requires the kind of character and integrity that Robbie at the least demonstrably never had. Singo might have jumped to conclusions based on erroneous information and gossip, but he wouldn't have strayed down such paths if not for the basic fact that the incestuous nature of the Waterhouse clan's conflicting business interests leaves them open to suspicion, especially given past history. The racing industry should at least bring in rules that don't permit a family member to take bets on horses being run/trained by close relatives.

Paranoia has set in for Singo. Its what happens when you employ and look after scum-sucking bin lickers like Alan Jones for too long - conspiracy theories erupt and they think the World is out to get them at every turn. Karma is a bitch John and Gai is miles too good for you and your mates.

You have two choices in racing... retire a horse in it's prime ( Black Caviar) ...or watch it lose form ( More Joyous). They are not motor cars that start on cue. Every champion will be beat if you race them long enough.

Come on get real. Andrew Johns is a known drug abuser. Well he was, when playing football. Using the word great is so annoying. He should return all the awards he cheated his fellow footballers out of. Why is this swept under the carpet. Id rate the brothel away above Johns. Thats not saying much for him either. John singleton is a bully and a lout. Gai as always is a lady and of course a great trainer.

The Truth about Foreverby Sarah Dessen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Luke is the perfect boyfriend: handsome, kind, fun. He and Emaline have been together all through high school in Colby, the beach town where they both grew up. But now, in the summer before college, Emaline wonders if perfect is good enough.
Enter Theo, a super-ambitious outsider, a New Yorker assisting on a documentary film about a reclusive local artist. Theo's sophisticated, exciting, and, best of all, he thinks Emaline is much too smart for Colby.
Emaline's mostly-absentee father, too, thinks Emaline should have a bigger life, and he's convinced that an Ivy League education is the only route to realizing her potential. Emaline is attracted to the bright future that Theo and her father promise. But she also clings to the deep roots of her loving mother, stepfather, and sisters. Can she ignore the pull of the happily familiar world of Colby?
Emaline wants the moon and more, but how can she balance where she comes from with where she's going?
Sarah Dessen's devoted fans will welcome this story of romance, yearning, and, finally, empowerment. It could only happen in the summer.
"In this contemporary romance, Dessen (This Lullaby) gracefully balances comedy with tragedy and introduces a complex heroine worth getting to know. While recovering from her father's sudden death, Macy clings to things that are safe and predictable, notably her brilliant, oh-so-steady boyfriend Jason. ('Anything he did, he did well,' Macy explains. 'A lot of people might find this annoying, even loathsome. But not me. He was just what I needed.') When Jason goes off to 'Brain Camp' for the summer and announces (via e-mail) that he wants to put their relationship on hold, Macy must find happiness and reassurance on her own. Much to her sensible mother's dismay, Macy impulsively takes a job at a disorganized catering company, working for very pregnant Delia, a woman who thrives on chaos. As a caterer's assistant, Macy endures flying meatballs, spilt wine, irate clients, inebriated guests and, at the same time, feels more alive than she has since her father's death — especially when she's around Wes, the sensitive, artistic bartender who seems to understand Macy better than anyone else. On one level, the novel traces the growing intimacy between Macy and Wes; on another, it examines the healing process as Macy allows herself to grieve. Readers will cheer Macy on as she tentatively reenters the world of the living by taking risks and relearning how to act spontaneously, embracing change rather than avoiding it. Ages 12-up. (May)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
The "New York Times" bestselling author delivers a page-turning novel that carries readers on a roller coaster of denial, grief, comfort, and love as readers watch a broken but resilient girl pick up the pieces of her life and fit them back together.

But her plans didnt include a job at Wish Catering. And they certainly didnt include Wes.

Macy's summer stretches before her, carefully planned and outlined. She will spend her days sitting at the library information desk. She will spend her evenings studying for the SATs. Spare time will be used to help her obsessive mother prepare for the big opening of the townhouse section of her luxury development.
But Macy's plans don't anticipate a surprising and chaotic job with Wish Catering, a motley crew of new friends, or…Wes. Tattooed, artistic, anything-but-expected Wes. He doesn't fit Macy's life at all—so why does she feel so comfortable with him? So…happy? What is it about him that makes her let down her guard and finally talk about how much she misses her father, who died before her eyes the year before?

February 2008 Archive
February 25, 2008
The Role of Diet in Metabolic Syndrome
A new study has implicated meat, fried food and, surprisingly, diet soda in the development of metabolic syndrome. More research will now be needed to confirm and explain these intriguing findings.
Cholesterol Drug Makes Staph More Vulnerable
An experimental cholesterol-fighting drug can also strip staph bacteria of their golden color and make the microbes more susceptible to killing by the immune system. The finding may lead to new options for battling Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, which are increasingly resistant to antibiotics.
Team Care for Depressed Older Adults Cuts Medical Costs
A team approach to treating depression in older adults has already been shown to be effective. According to a new study, it's also less expensive than usual care.
February 11, 2008
Supplement Use Widespread Among Cancer Patients and Survivors
Researchers have found that, while vitamin and mineral supplement use is widespread among cancer patients and survivors, up to 68% of physicians may not know when their patients are using them. The finding highlights the need for doctors to discuss supplement use with their cancer patients.
Gene Variants Protect Against Depression Triggered by Childhood Stress
Certain variations in a gene that helps regulate our response to stress may protect adults who were abused in childhood from developing depression, a new study has found.
New Method Detects Fatal Copper Disorder at Birth
A blood test developed by NIH scientists can detect a rare but deadly genetic disorder called Menkes Disease in newborns. The test may eventually lead to newborn screening to identify affected children before symptoms appear, when treatment is mostly likely to succeed.
February 4, 2008
Blood Pressure Medication for People with Metabolic Syndrome
For people with metabolic syndrome—who are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseases like heart attack, heart failure and stroke—treatment of high blood pressure with less expensive diuretic drugs may be a better choice than newer, more costly medications, according to a new report.
Subconscious Signals Can Trigger Brain's Drug-Craving Centers
Quick flashes of cocaine-related photos—so brief viewers don't even realize what they're seeing—can instantly trigger "reward circuitry" in the brains of drug-addicted patients, activating the same brain regions that respond to sexual images. Researchers say their findings may provide new clues for treating addictions and possibly other conditions, like eating disorders, that are marked by uncontrolled desires and behaviors.
Molecular Pattern Linked to Colon Cancer Prognosis
An international research team has linked levels of molecules called microRNAs to colon cancer progression. The finding may lead to new tools to assess colon cancer prognosis and help clinicians determine appropriate treatments. The researchers also uncovered a potential new target for colon cancer therapies.

PEORIA, Ariz. (April
15, 2011) – Peoria's recent renovation and expansion of its Municipal Court
has won the building a LEED Gold certification.
LEED, an acronym for
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a system developed by the U.S.
Green Building Council to give building owners and operators a framework for
identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design,
construction, operations and maintenance standards. Gold is the second-highest
LEED designation, behind platinum.
"Reaching the gold
level is really an extraordinary accomplishment in any project, particularly in
expansion/remodel construction," says City Manager Carl Swenson. "It is very
gratifying for me that we have reached this important milestone. I am extremely
proud we have achieved the goal with a Gold rating."
Deputy City Manager
Susan Daluddung adds, "We build to LEED standards for energy savings reasons.
LEED provides clarity to make sure we are efficient and continue to save money.
This is a pivotal progress point for our sustainability team."
The Municipal Court is
the first city of Peoria facility to achieve LEED certification. The recently
completed two-year, $11 million upgrade added an additional 19,000 square feet
of courtroom and administrative space, as well as a pedestrian bridge connecting
the building with an adjacent parking garage. It also reoriented the Municipal
Court's main entrance toward 83rd Avenue. The old main entrance, on the west
side of the building, faced inward toward City Hall.

Jerry Angelo's Worst Acquisition
Todd Collins-QB-Free Agent 2010:In the grand scheme of his ten seasons leading the Chicago Bears, perhaps listing a one-season backup quarterback as Jerry Angelo's worst personnel acquisition is not fair or legitimate. Collins only played in two regular season games and one playoff game, and word has it that the signing was demanded by offensive coordinator Mike Martz.
Perhaps it is fairer to say that neglect of the backup quarterback position is the problem more than the signing of Collins, to be exact. But the fact is the Bears' failure to win one more game to advance to Super Bowl 45 was a direct result of not having a competent backup to replace Jay Cutler in case of injury, which happened in the 2010 NFC Championship Game at home against bitter rival Green Bay. Collins was abysmal in his every appearance in 2010, including the majority of the third quarter of that critical game.

Call (408)856-3232 or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Each tented venue is unique to the location and design for each event. Our Tent Specialists have years of design and event logistic expertise to help you with the perfect tent style and size. Call one of our Tent Specialists today for a custom quote.
Type of Seating Inside a Tent
The canopy or tent rentals available to you will greatly depend on the kind of event you plan to hold and the way you choose to accommodate your guests. Allow us to help you select the right one and come up with a design that will surely impress everyone who attends.
One of the first things to decide upon when you choose a tent rental is how you plan to accommodate your guests. The choice between served dining, buffet dining, cocktails, and theater-style seating will definitely affect the amount of space you need to cover. It will also vary if you plan to add other amenities to the venue, such as a dance floor, a stage for entertainment, or a space for a grand display.
For example, if you plan to have served dining for your guests, then your tent should be able to accommodate the tables of your choice and leave room for servers to move around. Alternatively, for an event with buffet dining, you might need to give your guests more room to freely return to the buffet area for seconds.
But if your event only needs an open bar and cocktail tables, you may not need such a great amount of space. Smaller venues usually work better for cocktails as it encourages guests to stay close together.
Taller structure tents are ideal for events that require a high tent ceiling, which gives generous space for ceiling liners, tent lighting, and a variety of décor. High ceilings also give the entire venue a sense of grandeur, which is perfect if you truly want to make a great impression.
With so much to take into consideration, it may be an overwhelming task of selecting the right tent rentals. Thankfully, we have Tent Specialists who can certainly help you narrow down your options and select the perfect tent or canopy for your event. To get in touch with them, simply contact us. From there, we can work with you to put together the ideal venue for your event.

Site inspections are available. A non-refundable fee for the site inspection will apply towards your canopy/tent rental.
Canopy/Tent 400 sq ft or larger require a tent permit from your local fire prevention. Price for permit will vary per city guidelines and codes.

Judging part one of Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" prelude "The Hobbit" is a bit like reviewing a film after seeing only the first act.
Yet here goes: "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is stuffed with Hollywood's latest technology _ 3-D, high-speed projection and Dolby's Atmos surround sound system. The result is some eye candy that truly dazzles and some that utterly distracts, at least in its test-run of 48 frames a second, double the projection rate that has been standard since silent-film days.
It's also overstuffed with, well, stuff. Prologues and sidestepping backstory. Long, boring councils among dwarves, wizards and elves. A shallow blood feud extrapolated from sketchy appendices to J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" to give the film a bad guy.
Remember the interminable false endings of "The Return of the King," the Academy Award-winning finale of Jackson's "Lord of the Rings"? "An Unexpected Journey" has a similar bloat throughout its nearly three hours, in which Tolkien's brisk story of intrepid little hobbit Bilbo Baggins is drawn out and diluted by dispensable trimmings better left for DVD extras.
Two more parts are coming, so we won't know how the whole story comes together until the finale arrives in summer 2014. Part one's embellishments may pay off nicely, but right now, "An Unexpected Journey" looks like the start of an unnecessary trilogy better told in one film.
Split into three books, "The Lord of the Rings" was a natural film trilogy, running nearly half a million words, five times as long as "The Hobbit."
Jackson and his wife, Fran Walsh, along with screenwriting partners Philippa Boyens and Guillermo del Toro _ who once was attached to direct "The Hobbit," with Jackson producing _ have meticulously mined Tolkien references to events that never played out in any of the books (stuff the filmmakers call the "in-between bits").
With that added material, they're building a much bigger epic than Tolkien's book, the unexpected journey of homebody Bilbo (Martin Freeman, with Ian Holm reprising his "Lord of the Rings" role as older Bilbo).
Bilbo has no desire to hit the road after wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen, grandly reprising his own "Rings" role) and a company of dwarves turn up to enlist him on a quest to retake a dwarf mountain kingdom from the dragon that decimated it.
Yet off he goes, encountering trolls, goblins, savage orcs and a grisly guy named Gollum (Andy Serkis, re-creating the character that pioneered motion-capture performance in "The Lord of the Rings"). Improved by a decade of visual-effects advances, Gollum solidifies his standing as one of the creepiest movie creatures ever. And as big-screen prologue moments go, Bilbo's acquisition of Gollum's precious ring of power may be second only to Darth Vader's first hissy breath at the end of George Lucas' "Star Wars" prequels.
"An Unexpected Journey" resurrects other "Rings" favorites, some who didn't appear in "The Hobbit" (Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, Cate Blanchett as elf queen Galadriel, Christopher Lee as wizard Saruman) and some who did (Hugo Weaving as elf lord Elrond).
Richard Armitage debuts as dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield, ennobled from a fairly comical figure in Tolkien's text to a brooding warrior king in the mold of Viggo Mortensen from the "Rings" trilogy.
The filmmakers also pluck orc bruiser Azog out of Tolkien's footnotes and make him Thorin's sworn enemy. Azog's a bland antagonist, adding little more than one-dimensional bluster.
While there are plenty of orc skewerings and goblin beheadings, the action is lighter and more cartoonish than that of "The Lord of the Rings." Still, much of it is silly fun, particularly a battle along a maze of footbridges suspended throughout a goblin cave.
The potential sea change with "The Hobbit" is Jackson's 48-frame rate. Most theaters are not yet equipped for that speed, so the film largely will play at the standard 24 frames a second.

Low-income students can get help paying fees to earn college credits by taking Advanced Placement tests. A record 16.6 percent of Montana high school seniors took college-level AP classes in 2009, a number the College Board in a February report said was up from 13.1 percent in five years.
"This grant will help economically disadvantaged students in Montana to reach their academic potential," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau. The fee for one test is $86.
The $25,000 grant will help the Office of Public Instruction to pay for AP test fees for low-income students who are enrolled in an AP course and plan to take an AP exam. Students who are eligible for free or reduced-price school lunches are eligible.
The program is designed to increase the number of low-income students who take AP or International Baccalaureate tests and receive scores for which college academic credit is awarded.
Research shows that AP students are more likely to earn a bachelor's degree in four years than their peers. Participation and success in AP courses also helps students qualify for scholarships.

Delicious! I used 5 1/2 T tapioca per the recipe suggestion for a thicker filling. Also reduced brown sugar to 1 c since my berries were sweet. Came out beautiful and tasted great.flag if inappropriate
I used frozen blueberries that had been picked recently from a local blueberry field. I made a smaller pie, halving the filling recipe. The pie flavor is sweet and really delicious. Maybe almost too sweet, but intense! No need for ice cream. Next time I'll add a bit more tapioca to thicken and slightly less sugar. It's really good though and I love that beautiful color.flag if inappropriate
This overflowed but it was very yummy and so easy to make!flag if inappropriate
To Elliott from Amsterdam - if you click on "Pastry Dough" in the above recipe, you will find the amounts. The is almost the exact recipe I have been using for 30 years. Wild berries are much more tasty than the large ones.flag if inappropriate
You forgot to mention how much flour for the crust. I would llike to try it with your recipe first.flag if inappropriate
Our wild Montana huckleberries are currently in season and I substituted them for the blueberries. The huckleberry is a distant cousin to the blueberry but with a much more tangy flavor. I cut the sugar to 3/4 cup (almost always decrease the amount of sugar when I bake) and the result was great. I also used more tapioca because we prefer the texture of the berries to be more solid and it worked well. It was simple to put together and will be a repeat dessert for our summer huckleberries.flag if inappropriate
I think I will review the first reviewer's comments since I too have not made the recipe. Thinking that the recipe sounded good, I decided to take a look at it. I usually find the reviewers comments very helpful in either proceeding with making a recipe or not. Imagine my disappointment at reading the first review. I think it's time to re-commit to not writing reviews without trying a recipe.flag if inappropriate
Use 1/2 the sugar and this pie is beyond compare. I have many recipes for blueberry pies, grunts and other desserts, but this one compares with the best of them.flag if inappropriate
This pie is fair to midland. I personally do not care for wild Blueberries. I prefer the big plump juicy ones I pick in a near by field every August. You can make a delicious Blueberry pie from your usual blueberries :) It's all a matter of taste :)flag if inappropriate
I swore I would never do this, but... I have not tried this recipe, but I can tell from the amount of sugar listed that this will be way too sweet. The wild blueberry pie recipe I have (thank you Regan Daley and 'In the Sweet Kitchen') has the same quantity of fruit and only a half cup of granulated sugar, and it's delectable. Don't bother to make blueberry pie unless the blueberries are wild ones - the difference in flavour is immense. Giving a three-fork rating as some people like very sweet pie, and I don't want to skew the rating. Plus, it's virtually impossible to spoil good berries.flag if inappropriate

Volume 15 (2015)
Constraint and Freedom in the Common Law
John Horty
September 2015, vol. 15, no. 25, pp. 1-27
This paper contributes to our formal understanding of the common law — especially the nature of the reasoning involved, but also its point, or justification, in terms of social coordination. I present two apparently distinct models of constraint by precedent in the common law, establish their equivalence, and argue for a perspective according to which courts are best thought of, not as creating and modifying rules, but as generating a social priority ordering on reasons through a procedure that is piecemeal, distributed, and responsive to particular circumstances.
Talking with Tonkers
Jared Warren
September 2015, vol. 15, no. 24, pp. 1-24
Unrestricted inferentialism holds both that (i) any collection of inference rules can determine a meaning for an expression and (ii) meaning constituting rules are automatically valid. Prior's infamous tonk connective refuted unrestricted inferentialism, or so it is universally thought. This paper argues against this consensus. I start by formulating the metasemantic theses of inferentialism with more care than they have hitherto received; I then consider a tonk language — Tonklish — and argue that the unrestricted inferentialist's treatment of this language is only problematic if it is mistakenly assumed that Tonklish can be homophonically translated into English. Next, I discuss the proper, non-homophonic, translation of Tonklish into English, rebut various objections, and consider several variants of Tonklish. The paper closes by highlighting the philosophical advantages that unrestricted inferentialism has over its competitors once the terrors of tonk have been tamed.
Prospects for an Expressivist Theory of Meaning
Nate Charlow
August 2015, vol. 15, no. 23, pp. 1-43
Advocates of Expressivism about basically any kind of language are best-served by abandoning a traditional content-centric approach to semantic theorizing, in favor of an update-centric or dynamic approach (or so this paper argues). The type of dynamic approach developed here — in contrast to the content-centric approach — is argued to yield canonical, if not strictly classical, "explanations" of the core semantic properties of the connectives. (The cases on which I focus most here are negation and disjunction.) I end the paper by describing a distinctive sense in which mental states might play a fundamental role in the practice of semantic theorizing (as I understand it), and I connect this to a distinctive account of the pragmatic function of, e.g., a normatively laden claim in discourse.
The Absence of Reference in Hobbes' Philosophy of Language
Arash Abizadeh
August 2015, vol. 15, no. 22, pp. 1-17
Against the dominant view in contemporary Hobbes scholarship, I argue that Hobbes' philosophy of language implicitly denies that linguistic expressions (names) refer to anything. I defend this thesis both textually, in light of what Hobbes actually said, and contextually, in light of Hobbes' desertion of the vocabulary of suppositio, which was prevalent in semantics leading up to Hobbes. Hobbes explained away the apparent fact of linguistic reference via a reductive analysis: the relation between words and things wholly reduces to a composite of the relation of signification between words and conceptions on the one hand, and the relation of representation between conceptions and things on the other. Intentionality, for Hobbes, accrues to conceptions, not words.
Generics in Context
Rachel Katharine Sterken
August 2015, vol. 15, no. 21, pp. 1-30
This paper has two central goals. The first is to argue for the metaphysical thesis that there is no such phenomenon as genericity, i.e., to argue for a form of eliminativism about genericity. The second is to defend a novel theory of generic sentences on which the unpronounced quantifier expression Gen is an indexical. An important feature of the view is that much of what has appeared to be semantic work is moved into the metasemantics. Rather than create very complex semantic clauses (or construe other complex notions as constitutive of genericity), the proposal is that those complexities are best dealt with in a metasemantic theory. Many of the puzzles which plague theories of generics are treated as instances of more general puzzles having to do with metasemantics and implicit, context-sensitive communication.
Tolerance as Civility
David Owens
August 2015, vol. 15, no. 20, pp. 1-13
The question of toleration, of whether we should express disapproval at wrongdoing, is distinguished from the question of accommodation, of whether we should interfere with such wrongdoing. Liberal doctrines of accommodation invoke the value of autonomy. A doctrine of toleration is proposed that is based instead on the value of civility, on the (non-instrumental) value of suppressing the public expression of disapproval. Civility is of value within various relationships, a point illustrated by an examination of friendship. This doctrine of tolerance as civility is needed to explain practices of toleration among illiberal peoples and it suggests a way of extending such practices to others who do not value personal autonomy.
Recombination and Paradox
Gabriel Uzquiano
August 2015, vol. 15, no. 19, pp. 1-20
The doctrine that whatever could exist does exist leads to a proliferation of possibly concrete objects given certain principles of recombination. If, for example, there could have been a large infinite number of concrete objects, then there is at least the same number of possibly concrete objects in existence. And further cardinality considerations point to a tension between the preceding doctrine and the Cantorian conception of the absolutely infinite. This paper develops a parallel problem for a variety of possible worlds accounts of modality which eschew the commitment to a plethora of possibly concrete objects. Moreover, the difficulty is importantly different from more familiar threats of paradox exemplified by certain descendants of Russell's paradox of propositions and Kaplan's paradox.
Who's Afraid of Double Affection?
Nicholas F. Stang
July 2015, vol. 15, no. 18, pp. 1-28
There is substantial textual evidence that Kant held the doctrine of double affection: subjects are causally affected both by things in themselves and by appearances. However, Kant commentators have been loath to attribute this view to him, for the doctrine of double affection is widely thought to face insuperable problems. I begin by explaining what I take to be the most serious problem faced by the doctrine of double affection: appearances cannot cause the very experience in virtue of which they have their empirical properties. My solution consists in distinguishing the sense of 'experience' in which empirical objects cause experience from the sense of 'experience' in which experience determines empirical objects. I call the latter "universal experience". I develop my conception of universal experience, and then I explain how it solves the problem of double affection. I conclude by addressing several objections.
Immunity and Self-Awareness
Max Seeger
July 2015, vol. 15, no. 17, pp. 1-20
Three pathologies of alienation (thought insertion, anarchic hand syndrome, and somatoparaphrenia) have been claimed to refute the philosophical thesis that introspection-based self-ascriptions of mental states are immune to error through misidentification. In this paper, I show that this critique of the Immunity Thesis is misguided; the cases of alienation either are not self-ascriptions or do not involve misidentification. Rather, these cases undermine a widely assumed explanation of immunity, which is based on the idea that self-ascriptions of mental states are identification-free. I argue that, given a certain understanding of the Immunity Thesis, identification-freedom does not explain immunity anyhow, and I offer an alternative explanation, one which posits a tight link between first-personal awareness and ownership of a mental state.
Accuracy and the credence-belief connection
Richard Pettigrew
June 2015, vol. 15, no. 16, pp. 1-20
Probabilism says an agent is rational only if her credences are probabilistic. This paper is concerned with the so-called Accuracy Dominance Argument for Probabilism. This argument begins with the claim that the sole fundamental source of epistemic value for a credence is its accuracy. It then shows that, however we measure accuracy, any non-probabilistic credences are accuracy-dominated: that is, there are alternative credences that are guaranteed to be more accurate than them. It follows that non-probabilistic credences are irrational. In this paper, I identify and explore a lacuna in this argument. I grant that, if the only doxastic attitudes are credal attitudes, the argument succeeds. But many philosophers say that, alongside credences, there are other doxastic attitudes, such as full beliefs. What's more, those philosophers typically claim, these other doxastic attitudes are closely connected to credences, either as a matter of necessity or normatively. Now, since full beliefs are also doxastic attitudes, it seems that, like credences, the sole source of epistemic value for them is their accuracy. Thus, if we wish to measure the epistemic value of an agent's total doxastic state, we must include not only the accuracy of her credences, but also the accuracy of her full beliefs. However, if this is the case, there is a problem for the Accuracy Dominance Argument for Probabilism. For all the argument says, there might be non-probabilistic credences such that there is no total doxastic state that accuracy-dominates the total doxastic state to which those credences belong.
Understanding "Practical Knowledge"
John Schwenkler
June 2015, vol. 15, no. 15, pp. 1-32
The concept of practical knowledge is central to G.E.M. Anscombe's argument in Intention, yet its meaning is little understood. There are several reasons for this, including a lack of attention to Anscombe's ancient and medieval sources for the concept, and an emphasis on the (supposedly) more straightforward concept of knowledge "without observation" in the interpretation of Anscombe's position. This paper remedies the situation, first by appealing to the writings of Thomas Aquinas to develop an account of practical knowledge as a distinctive form of thought that "aims at production" of things that lie within an agent's power; and then by showing how this Thomistic understanding of practical cognition seems to have been Anscombe's, too. Having done this, I question whether the thesis that agential knowledge is practical knowledge entails that an agent always has non-observational knowledge of what she is intentionally doing. I answer "Not": Anscombe's claims to the contrary rest on a misleading assimilation of human beings' finite agency to that of an infinite agent like God.
Spinoza on Extension
Alison Peterman
April 2015, vol. 15, no. 14, pp. 1-23
This paper argues that Spinoza does not take extension in space to be a fundamental property of physical things. This means that when Spinoza calls either substance or a mode "an Extended thing", he does not mean that it is a thing extended in three dimensions. The argument proceeds by showing, first, that Spinoza does not associate extension in space with substance, and second, that finite bodies, or physical things, are not understood through the intellect when they are conceived as extended in space. I conclude by articulating some suggestions about where we should go from here in trying to understand Spinoza's account of the attribute of extension and of the physical world.
With All Due Respect: The Macro-Epistemology of Disagreement
Benjamin Anders Levinstein
March 2015, vol. 15, no. 13, pp. 1-20
In this paper, I develop a new kind of conciliatory answer to the problem of peer disagreement. Instead of trying to guide an agent's updating behaviour in any particular disagreement, I establish constraints on an agent's expected behaviour and argue that, in the long run, she should tend to be conciliatory toward her peers. I first claim that this macro-approach affords us new conceptual insight on the problem of peer disagreement and provides an important angle complementary to the standard micro-approaches in the literature. I then detail the import of two novel results based on accuracy-considerations that establish the following: An agent should, on average, give her peers equal weight. However, if the agent takes herself and her advisor to be reliable, she should usually give the party with a stronger opinion more weight. In other words, an agent's response to peer disagreement should over the course of many disagreements average out to equal weight, but in any particular disagreement, her response should tend to deviate from equal weight in a way that systematically depends on the actual credences she and her advisor report.
Logic and the Laws of Thought
Jessica Leech
March 2015, vol. 15, no. 12, pp. 1-27
An approach to explaining the nature and source of logic and its laws with a rich historical tradition (particularly Kant and Frege) takes the laws of logic to be laws of thought. This view seems intuitively compelling, after all, logic seems to be intimately related with how we think. But how exactly should we understand it? And what arguments can we give in favour? I will propose one line of argument for the claim that the laws of logic are laws of thought. I will motivate the claim that there is a certain phenomenon, namely, that there are logical principles which are immune to rational doubt. I will then give an argument to the best explanation; I will argue that the best explanation of this phenomenon is to take the laws of logic to be constitutive-normative laws of thought. The proposal, and some responses to potential objections, will have a notably Kantian flavour.
Agency and Evil in Fichte's Ethics
Owen Ware
March 2015, vol. 15, no. 11, pp. 1-21
This paper examines Fichte's proof of evil in §16 of the System of Ethics. According to the majority of commentators, Fichte was mistaken to consider his proof Kantian in spirit (Piché 1999; Kosch 2006, 2011; Dews 2008; and Breazeale 2014). For rather than locate our propensity to evil in an act of free choice, Fichte locates it in a natural force of inertia. However, the distance between Kant and Fichte begins to close if we read his concept of inertia, not as a material force, but as a tendency to resist the work of agency and autonomy. There are, I argue, both textual and conceptual reasons in support of a figurative interpretation. In the course of presenting these reasons, I also uncover an important insight guiding Fichte's analysis of evil in the System of Ethics: namely, his claim that we can never fully step back from ourselves in reflection. In the concluding sections of the paper, I argue that Fichte's insight may solve a particular skeptical threat facing recent Kantian accounts of normativity.
"Inner Perception Can Never Become Inner Observation": Brentano on Awareness and Observation
Mark Textor
March 2015, vol. 15, no. 10, pp. 1-19
Self-representational theories of consciousness hold that a mental phenomenon is conscious if, and only if, it presents, among other things, itself. But in conscious perception one may lose oneself in the object perceived and not be aware of one's perceiving. The paper develops a Brentano-inspired response to this objection. He follows Aristotle in holding that one is aware of one's perceiving only 'on the side': when one perceives something one's perception neither is nor can become observation of itself. I argue that the arguments Brentano gave for this claim in Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint are wanting. However, a promising argument emerges if one takes Brentano's conception of noticing into account.
Quantificational Credences
Benjamin Lennertz
March 2015, vol. 15, no. 9, pp. 1-24
In addition to full beliefs, agents have attitudes of varying confidence, or credences. For instance, I do not believe that the Boston Red Sox will win the American League East this year, but I am at least a little bit confident that they will – i.e. I have a positive credence that they will. It is also common to think that agents have conditional credences. For instance, I am very confident – i.e. have a conditional credence of very-likely strength – that the Red Sox will win the AL East this year given that their pitching staff stays healthy. There are good reasons to think that conditional credences are neither credences nor some combination of credences. In this paper, I show that similar reasons support thinking that agents have what we can call quantificational credences – attitudes like, thinking that each AL East team with a healthy pitching staff is at least a little bit likely to win the division – which are neither credences, conditional credences, nor some combination thereof. I provide a framework for assessing the rationality of credal states which involve quantificational credences. And I give a general picture of credal states that explains the similarities and differences between ordinary, conditional, and quantificational credences.
Aristotle on Actions from Lack of Control
Jozef Müller
March 2015, vol. 15, no. 8, pp. 1-35
The paper defends three claims about Aristotle's theory of uncontrolled (akratic) actions in NE 7.3. First, I argue that the first part of NE 7.3 (1146b30-47a24) contains the description of the overall state of mind of the agent while she acts without control. Aristotle's solution to the problem of uncontrolled action lies in the analogy between the uncontrolled agent and people who are drunk, mad, or asleep. This analogy is interpreted as meaning that the uncontrolled agent, while acting without control, is still in possession of her knowledge (and so she can make use of what she knows) but she is unable to use it as knowledge due to the temporary disablement of her reason by appetite. Due to this disablement, the uncontrolled agent is temporarily unable to be motivated to act by her knowledge and acts merely on her appetite. Second, I argue that the second part of NE 7.3 (1147a25-b5) provides an analysis of the particular mental state from which the uncontrolled action issues. Its central passage (1147a31-5) is a description of the uncontrolled agent's state of mind before the uncontrolled action and not, as it has been traditionally understood, a description of her state of mind during the uncontrolled action. Third, I argue that, on Aristotle's view, the transition from the state before the uncontrolled action to the state in which the agent already acts without control does not involve any psychological state that would constitute the agent's choice to abandon her decision and give in to her desires but proceeds on a purely physiological level.
A Decision Theory for Imprecise Probabilities
Susanna Rinard
February 2015, vol. 15, no. 7, pp. 1-16
Those who model doxastic states with a set of probability functions, rather than a single function, face a pressing challenge: can they provide a plausible decision theory compatible with their view? Adam Elga (2010) and others claim that they cannot, and that the set of functions model should be rejected for this reason. This paper aims to answer this challenge. The key insight is that the set of functions model can be seen as an instance of the supervaluationist approach to vagueness more generally. We can then generate our decision theory by applying the general supervaluationist semantics to decision-theoretic claims. The result: if an action is permissible according to all functions in the set, it's determinately permissible; if impermissible according to all, determinately impermissible; and – crucially – if permissible according to some, but not all, it's indeterminate whether it's permissible. This proposal handles with ease some difficult cases (including one from Elga (2010)) on which alternative decision theories falter. One reason this view has been overlooked in the literature thus far is that all parties to the debate presuppose that an acceptable decision theory must classify each action as either permissible or impermissible. But I will argue that this thought is misguided. Seeing the set of functions model as an instance of supervaluationism provides a compelling motivation for the claim that there can be indeterminacy in the rationality of some actions.
Norms of Belief and Norms of Assertion in Aesthetics
Jon Robson
February 2015, vol. 15, no. 6, pp. 1-19
Why is it that we cannot legitimately make certain aesthetic assertions – for instance that 'Guernica is harrowing' or that 'The Rite of Spring is strangely beautiful' – on the basis of testimony alone? In this paper I consider a species of argument intended to demonstrate that the best explanation for the impermissibility of such assertions is that a particular view of the norms of aesthetic belief – pessimism concerning aesthetic testimony – is correct. I begin by outlining the strongest instance of such 'arguments from assertion' and demonstrating that it presents a powerful motivation for embracing pessimism; the view that it is illegitimate to form aesthetic beliefs on the basis of testimony alone. I then go on to argue that, appearances notwithstanding, the pessimist's opponents – optimists concerning aesthetic testimony – are able to provide an explanation for the impermissibility of these assertions which is at least as good as, and in some respects better than, that offered by their pessimist. The explanation I propose draws on some important work on signalling in aesthetics, by Denis Dutton and others, to argue that the problem with such assertions is closely parallel to the problem Dutton claims is generated by forgeries. Those making such assertions misrepresent a piece of aesthetic labour (in this case a critical judgement) as their own, when, in fact, it is the work of another. I also explore the wider implications of this view for debates in aesthetic epistemology and beyond.
Rationalist Responses to Skepticism: A New Puzzle
Tim Willenken
February 2015, vol. 15, no. 5, pp. 1-20
Most promising responses to skepticism fall into "Moorean" or "rationalist" camps. Mooreans believe that some apparently circular forms of reasoning allow us to have justification to believe that skeptical hypotheses are false. Rationalists believe that we have a priori justification to believe that skeptical hypotheses are false. It can seem that anti-skeptics are stuck choosing between fishy circular reasoning and mysterious a priori justification. I present a new difficulty for rationalism by focusing on skeptical scenarios wherein our faculties of a priori reasoning are untrustworthy. In dealing with these scenarios, rationalists end up having to embrace the same sorts of circular reasoning that Mooreans use to deal with more familiar skeptical scenarios. As a result, there is no viable diagnosis of what's wrong with Moorean reasoning that does not also apply to rationalism: both anti-skeptical approaches are in the same boat when it comes to embracing circular reasoning.
Non-Consequentialism Demystified
Howard Nye, David Plunkett, John Ku
January 2015, vol. 15, no. 4, pp. 1-28
Morality seems important, in the sense that there are practical reasons — at least for most of us, most of the time — to be moral. A central theoretical motivation for consequentialism is that it appears clear that there are practical reasons to promote good outcomes, but mysterious why we should care about non-consequentialist moral considerations or how they could be genuine reasons to act. In this paper we argue that this theoretical motivation is mistaken, and that because many arguments for consequentialism rely upon it, the mistake substantially weakens the overall case for consequentialism. We argue that there is indeed a theoretical connection between good states and reasons to act, because good states are those it is fitting to desire and there is a conceptual connection between the fittingness of a motive and reasons to perform the acts it motivates. But while some of our motives are directed at states, others are directed at acts themselves. We contend that just as the fittingness of desires for states generates reasons to promote the good, the fittingness of these act-directed motives generates reasons to do other things. Moreover, we argue that an act's moral status consists in the fittingness of act-directed feelings of obligation to perform or avoid performing it, so the connection between fitting motives and reasons to act explains reasons to be moral whether or not morality directs us to promote the good. This, we contend, de-mystifies how there could be non-consequentialist reasons that are both moral and practical.
The Unsolvability of The Quintic: A Case Study in Abstract Mathematical Explanation
Christopher Pincock
January 2015, vol. 15, no. 3, pp. 1-19
This paper identifies one way that a mathematical proof can be more explanatory than another proof. This is by invoking a more abstract kind of entity than the topic of the theorem. These abstract mathematical explanations are identified via an investigation of a canonical instance of modern mathematics: the Galois theory proof that there is no general solution in radicals for fifth-degree polynomial equations. I claim that abstract explanations are best seen as describing a special sort of dependence relation between distinct mathematical domains. This case study highlights the importance of the conceptual, as opposed to computational, turn of much of modern mathematics, as recently emphasized by Tappenden and Avigad. The approach adopted here is contrasted with alternative proposals by Steiner and Kitcher.
An Open and Shut Case: Epistemic Closure in the Manifest Image
John Turri
January 2015, vol. 15, no. 2, pp. 1-18
The epistemic closure principle says that knowledge is closed under known entailment. The closure principle is deeply implicated in numerous core debates in contemporary epistemology. Closure's opponents claim that there are good theoretical reasons to abandon it. Closure's proponents claim that it is a defining feature of ordinary thought and talk and, thus, abandoning it is radically revisionary. But evidence for these claims about ordinary practice has thus far been anecdotal. In this paper, I report five studies on the status of epistemic closure in ordinary practice. Despite decades of widespread assumptions to the contrary in philosophy, ordinary practice is ambivalent about closure. Ordinary practice does not endorse an unqualified version of the epistemic closure principle, although it might endorse a source-relative version of the principle. In particular, whereas inferential knowledge is not viewed as closed under known entailment, perceptual knowledge might be.
Conditionals: A Unifying Ranking-Theoretic Perspective
Wolfgang Spohn
January 2015, vol. 15, no. 1, pp. 1-30
The paper takes an expressivistic perspective, i.e., it takes conditionals of all sorts to primarily express (features of) conditional beliefs. Therefore it is based on what it takes to be the best account of conditional belief, namely ranking theory. It proposes not to start looking at the bewildering linguistic phenomenology, but first to systematically study the various options of expressing features of conditional belief. Those options by far transcend the Ramsey test and include relevancies of various kinds and in particular the so-called "circumstances are such that" reading, under which also all conditionals representing causal relations can be subsumed. In this way a unifying perspective on the many kinds of conditionals is offered. The final section explains the considerable extent to which truth conditions for conditionals, which may seem lost in the expressivistic or epistemic perspective, may be recovered.

Male driver who killed Price woman in crash pleads guilty
A 27-year-old Magna man who was intoxicated when he crashed his truck and killed a Price woman in July pleaded guilty Tuesday to negligent homicide.
Alvin Clint Carter faces up to five years in prison after pleading guilty in 7th District Court to a third-degree felony count of automobile homicide by driving under the influence of alcohol. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dropped three other charges accusing Carter of drunken driving, operating a vehicle while his license was revoked or suspended and uncontrolled driving in a canyon.
On July 7, 2013, Carter was driving in Carbon County when his truck veered off Pondtown Road, near Scofield, about 1:45 a.m., according to charging documents.
Carter and his passenger, 22-year-old Brooke Tomadakis, were ejected as the truck rolled down a 150-foot embankment.
Tomadakis died at the scene.
Carter and another passenger in the truck, Chad Wink, survived the crash.
According to Carbon County officials, no one in the vehicle had been wearing seat belts.
When police tested Carter's blood-alcohol level, it registered at slightly above the legal limit of 0.08 percent. He has been cited for several traffic citations in the past and in 2005 was convicted of attempted aggravated assault.
Carter is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Douglas Thomas on April 14.

Who wore Maleficent horns better?

The new Maleficent movie has only been in theaters for a week, but the famous Disney villain has already become synonymous with Angelina Jolie. Angie personifies the role SO much (trust me, you should see it), we can't imagine anyone else ever topping her interpretation. Well, at least that's what we thought...until we saw 50 Cent on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.
