Abstract: The aim of this essay is to test the claim that epistemologists—virtue epistemologists in particular—have much to learn from virtue ethics. The essay begins with an outline of virtue ethics itself. This section concludes that a pure form of virtue ethics is likely to be unattractive, so the virtue epistemologist should examine the "impure" views of real philosophers. Aristotle is usually held up as the paradigm virtue ethicist. His doctrine of the mean is described, and it is explained how that doctrine can provide a framework for an account of epistemic virtue. The conclusion of the essay is that a virtue epistemology based on analogies with virtue ethics, though well worth developing and considering, will face several challenges in fulfilling the significant promises that have been made on its behalf.

Hey factcheck, you asked me what 3 teams would finish ahead of Bingham. Well, I guess my answer is Alta, American Fork, and T-ville. That's why they play the games guys, you can't just show up and have the trophy given to you because you claim to be the best.

To Uncle Sam: Yawn. You've clearly spent no time around the Jordan baseball team. They're a tight-knit group of seniors. And the "recruiting" commentary is really old and irrevelant.

Here's to another great tournament. Ya gotta love baseball. I seem to have missed the two experts who spent their time on the 3A blog bashing the clubs. Did their elitist BHS lose? But don't they win national preseason tournaments? Maybe if they used the tournaments to check the second teamers' skills and risk losing to say, Lehi, they may have been in a State championship. Swallow your arrogance and let a lower classification team teach you about winning when it counts.

Greece unemployment rate hits record high
February 13, 2014 - 19:05 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The jobless rate in Greece reached a record high of 28% in November, according to newly released government figures, BBC reports.
The rate increased from 27.7% in the previous month. For those under the age of 25, unemployment hit 61.4%.
Harsh austerity measures have led the Greek economy to shrink by a quarter in four years. However, other economic indicators have suggested that there are signs of recovery.
The BBC says the bleak unemployment numbers are in contrast to a message that the government has been trying to push: that Greece has turned a corner, with six years of recession due to end this year and light on the horizon. The contrast with pre-crisis Greece is stark. Before the country received its first 110bn-euro ($150bn) bailout in May 2010, the jobless rate was under 12% here.
Slight growth is expected this year and the deficit now wiped out, apart from interest payments on the bailout.
Greek unemployment is more than twice the average rate in the eurozone. The number of people out of work in the single currency bloc in December was 19 million, with the jobless rate at 12%, according to official EU figures.
Other economic figures such as retail sales, manufacturing activity and construction, have pointed to signs that Greece's recession has bottomed out.
However, Greece's unemployment rate is expected to rise further in the first three months of 2014 as firms continue to restructure and cut jobs.
"As expected, the labor market showed a lagging reaction to other positive signs in the economy, said economist Nikos Magginas at National Bank in Athens."The increase in unemployment is also due to a loss of support from tourism which was seen in the previous months."
With 1.38 million people officially jobless, turning around the country's economy will take time, even if the recovery does start this year as Athens hopes.
Before the crash when Greece was growing at up to 5% annually, about 50,000 jobs a year were added to the economy.
At these rates it could take more than 20 years to reduce the jobless totals - without measures to encourage domestic and foreign investment.

O Jesus, lover of the young, the dearest Friend I have, in all confidence I open my heart to You to beg Your light and assistance in the important task of planning my future. Give me the light of Your grace, that I may decide wisely concerning the person who is to be my partner through life. Dearest Jesus, send me such a one whom in Your divine wisdom You judge best suited to be united with me in marriage. May her/his character reflect some of the traits of Your own Sacred Heart. May s/he be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with pure and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please You to entrust to our care. Bless our friendship before marriage, that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely, that our future home may ever be most like Your own at Nazareth.
O Mary Immaculate, sweet Mother of the young, to your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future wife/husband. You are my guiding Star! Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate in doing God's Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love and harmony in this life, and attain to eternal joys in the next.

This has been in my local Best Buy for at least a week. I guess it is "immediately availible," but has been already.

I'm still interested in this…much easier to work with the 3G iPod since they require the buttons to be touched rather than pushed like with the new 4G's.
Posted by Straphanger on April 28, 2005 at 12:20 AM (CDT)
Ditto Sts, it was at my local Best Buy too.
I just can't see any real practical purpose for this. "control their digital music player without exposing the screen or removing the unit from their pocket or handbag" but with that you still have to stick your hand into your bag.
This wreaks of a solution looking for a problem.

There's serious break potential if this goes in your pocket.
I just don't get it…why can't someone come up with a decent [read: not 6 feet long Apple] inline remote. That's all we need.
Posted by Gordy. on April 29, 2005 at 9:53 AM (CDT)
I like to look at my screen when making selections - you know… to see what I'm doing. Might as well use the buttons it came with, no?
Posted by philpod on April 29, 2005 at 11:51 AM (CDT)
this strikes me as basically another wired remote for the iPod, except there is no wire. the Apple one is way too long, and this one is way too short. If anyone out there owns a company that makes electronics, PLEASE make a wired remote with a built-in LCD. that's all I want. a cord between 1 and 2 feet would be great. I can't believe no one has made this; minidisc had this years ago. I would gladly pay $100 for such a thing; perhaps even allow myself to be ripped off and pay $150 for it. please someone make this.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Protesting farmers says they're planning to camp outside parliament and hold a 48-hour protest against planned pension reforms.
Farmers from around 70 highway and road blockades around the country are planning to bring their protest to Athens on Friday and Saturday, in a confrontation with the leftwing government, which is struggling to implement austerity measures demanded by bailout lenders.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday rejected demands to scrap the planned pension system overhaul and start a full round of negotiations with professional groups and opposition parties.
He told a Cabinet meeting: "It is clear that this reform is not optional."

Real-life swan lake in Siberia - PHOTOS
15 March 2014 [11:20] -
Svetloe Lake, located near Urozhainoe village in Siberia, is better known to locals as the Swan Lake. Come February, the lake is usually teeming with activity – beautiful swans arrive in hundreds and make this place their winter home, which is surprising because swans generally prefer to fly further south where the climate isn't so harsh.
What makes Svetloe Lake so special that swans willingly flock at it in the dead of winter? Well, for starters, it is fed by many warm springs so the temperature of the water is always above zero – even when the surrounding air drops to minus 40C. The lake's waters are warm in comparison, at 5C to 6C, making it the perfect hang-out place for the beautiful birds. The swans began to appear at the lake way back in 1967. Only about 15 birds would make an appearance then, but the numbers have steadily increased to over 350 today and still continue to rise.
Acclaimed Russian wildlife photographer, Alexey Ebel, is based out of Southern Siberia's Altai region. A professional biologist by training with ornithology as a hobby, the 46-year-old photographer has collaborated with scientific magazines to capture breathtaking shots of the swan lake. The lake is protected by Altai Region authorities as a part of the Swans' State Wildlife Preserve. It is not only home to the swans in the winter, but also a resting place for other birds and animals during the hunting season.

This sounds all ominous and stuff, but is there any reason to think this is actually a big deal? The writer of this article conspicuously forgets to say.3. jmp Posted: June 03, 2011 at 04:20 AM (#3844026)
It does mention at the end that if a team is in violation of the rule, the league could step in and approve team expenditures, among other things. That seems to indicate that player acquisitions could be nixed, but clearly there are teams mentioned in the excerpt that spent money in the off-season.4.

Wait, the Marlins? Is their crime having too little debt?6. Ron J Posted: June 03, 2011 at 04:29 AM (#3844029)
#2 A little over a decade ago Michael Ozanian wrote basically the same story (he was the first I'd read to bring up the debt ceiling rule abd pointed out that MLB simply ignored it at that time. Mind you, some of the debt was simply accounting games in a large empire. The Twins went from one of the higher debt teams to no debt depending on what was best for Pohlad's overall financial picture to pick one example). He did point out that at the really high debt levels teams require ownership to be able to smooth over cash flow issues (even if the team is profitable -- and few owners are ever truly out of pocket)7. jmp Posted: June 03, 2011 at 05:11 AM (#3844037)
They may not be able to compete for certain free agents (I'm told that there can be tax advantages for players to have a deal structured as a bonus and salary. Teams with cash flow issues simply can't do this) and they may not be able to insure major contracts (or so one of Ozanian's sources claimed in his article)
Ozanian's thesis was that it wasn't a critical problem at that time but it wasn't too far removed from being an issue. But then I think Forbes is pre-disposed to be unhappy about debt.
They may not be able to compete for certain free agents (I'm told that there can be tax advantages for players to have a deal structured as a bonus and salary.
Is that still true today? I remember this being brought up a few years ago, but thought that the law was changing, preventing that from being the case.
Maybe they changed the rule but I recall this being sort of a joke rule. If memory serves, the denominator was something like 2 years revenue but the numerator was all debt. It was one of the mechanisms by which they were threatening to keep player salaries down. So you'd sign a guy for 7/$100 and that would all be in the numerator; you'd have, say, $200 M a year in revenues and so your denominator would be just $400 M. Depending on the number of long-term contracts, a $100 M payroll might generate $200-300 M in liability (over say 5 years) all on its own and you'd be in violation of the rule.9. Sean Forman Posted: June 03, 2011 at 04:14 PM (#3844333)
Ahh, hell, try this instead of my crappy memory:
I like to describe that era leading up to the 2002 Collective Bargaining Agreement as a time when we were financing player compensation and whatever growth we were realizing through debt. There was a lot of available debt, very cheaply priced. We put in place the most critical element of that CBA, a debt-service rule. The debt rule said that what used to be balance sheet, ratio-based debt would become EBITDA-based debt. It also said the debt cannot exceed more than ten times EBITDA.
Most people say, "ten times EBITDA, that's a pretty big leverage factor." But not if you consider that most clubs didn't even have positive EBITDA. We had a lot of work to do. But putting that rule in place basically forced clubs to focus on earnings and, as a result, slowed the pace of payroll growth. Payroll has still gone up every year for the most part, but the pace of growth is more in line with revenue growth.
I agree with Walt. It seems to be that guaranteed player contracts should not be in this calculation, but that is just me. You can trade that debt to another team. You can't get the Mets to pay the Phillies stadium debt in exchange for an a-ball pitcher.10. OMJ, less arguing, more whimsy Posted: June 03, 2011 at 05:10 PM (#3844398)

I believe that any cash over $1 million needs commissioner approval.

Matt Ryan, Julio Jones help Falcons humiliate hapless Bucs
ATLANTA -- Devin Hester high-stepped into the NFL record book. Matt Ryan had as many touchdown passes as incompletions. Julio Jones made a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch tumbling into the end zone.
The result: one of the biggest wins in Atlanta Falcons history.
Hester set an NFL record with his 20th return for a touchdown, Ryan threw for 286 yards and three TDs, and Jones hauled in nine passes for 161 yards and a couple of scores to lead the Falcons past the hapless Tampa Bay Buccaneers 56-14 on Thursday night.
"It was a fun night," Ryan said.
The Falcons (2-1) led 35-0 before the Buccaneers (0-3) picked up a first down. Ryan and the other offensive starters left after Steven Jackson's 3-yard touchdown run made it 49-0 before the midway point of the third quarter.
Atlanta had a stunning 56-0 lead heading to the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay scored two meaningless touchdowns to avoid the worst loss in franchise history.
"I've never been in a game quite like this," Falcons coach Mike Smith said.
It was the second-largest win in the Falcons' 48-year history, eclipsed only by a 62-7 rout of New Orleans in 1973. It was only the fifth time Atlanta has won by as many as 40 points.
Hester and Jones provided the signature moments.
With the Falcons already ahead 28-0, Hester took a punt near midfield, found a seam up the middle and easily zipped around the last man with a chance to tackle him, punter Michael Koenen. The 62-yard play was Hester's 20th career return for a touchdown, breaking the mark he shared with former Falcons star Deion Sanders.
Sanders, now a television analyst, watched Hester's return from the sideline at the Georgia Dome. Hester high-stepped the last 10 yards or so, his left hand bobbing behind his ear -- a tribute to the signature move of "Prime Time."
"It's tough to break the record of the guy who is my No. 1 mentor," Hester said. "I'm kind of emotional right now."
Sanders didn't mind a bit. He smiled broadly and waved to the crowd when he was shown on the video board, the Hall of Famer's record falling in the stadium he once proclaimed "my house."
Jones could have made the same claim after his superb 40-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter.
Turning toward the sideline, he looked first over his left shoulder for the pass, turned his body when he realized it was coming over his right shoulder and juggled the ball a bit as he tumbled into the end zone, cradling it under his arm just before he slammed the turf, getting both feet down.
"Just a hell of a catch," Ryan said. "He's a special talent."
Coming off three interceptions in a loss at Cincinnati, Ryan bounced back with a 21-of-24 showing that set a team record for completion percentage (.875). He also hooked up with Jones on an 8-yard touchdown strike, as well as Harry Douglas on a 3-yarder.
"No one ever doubted that Matt Ryan would come back and have a good game after his game last week," Smith said.
Hester, in his first year with the Falcons, also had a 20-yard touchdown run on an end-around, not to mention one of the better defensive plays of the night. After the Bucs stripped the ball from a Falcons receiver, Hester stripped it right back and fell on the fumble himself to keep possession for Atlanta.
"He channeled some of his inner defense from his college days," Ryan quipped.
The Bucs, losing their first three games for the third time in six years, couldn't do anything right. Josh McCown was 5-of-12 for 58 yards, and his fourth interception of the season was returned 23 yards for a touchdown by backup safety Kemal Ishmael.
Somewhat mercifully, McCown left the game with a thumb injury after appearing to bang his right hand on an Atlanta player's helmet on his final throw of the night. Mike Glennon went the rest of the way at quarterback.
"I thought I had my football team ready to play," first-year Bucs coach Lovie Smith said. "Obviously, we weren't ready to play."
The Falcons finished with a 488-217 edge in total yards. The Bucs had five turnovers and 110 yards in penalties in what surely will go down as one of the worst embarrassments for a franchise that knows a thing or two about losing, having dropped its first 26 games after entering the NFL in 1976.
If not for Danny Lansanah's 27-yard interception return for a touchdown, Tampa Bay would have eclipsed its biggest loss ever, a 48-3 blowout by the San Francisco 49ers in 2011.
Game notes
The Bucs were missing four defensive starters from the start of the year, including two-time Pro Bowl tackle Gerald McCoy. He didn't play because of a hand injury sustained in Sunday's loss to St. Louis. ... The Falcons' Douglas went out in the first half with a foot injury. ... Bucs RB Bobby Rainey, who had 163 yards rushing in a 2013 game against Atlanta, was held to 41 yards on 11 carries. ... The Falcons had their first three sacks of the season.

Bad Points
Only problem was worry at not seeing the furniture before delivery and bit of a delay with the sideboard but it came in the end and matches perfectly.
General Comments
I bought the Tallinn oak dining table and Brown Titan Chairs and Baltic Sideboard and am really pleased with the whole set. Quality is excellent and looks superb. We have looked at a lot of furniture at higher prices but this meets both high quality and a good price. Service good would recommend them to my friends.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- By the time the media arrived in the Texas Rangers clubhouse after a 9-3 loss that shrunk the AL West lead to three games, Matt Harrison was long gone. The starter headed home to be sure he got a full night of rest before his biggest start of 2012.
That's what happens when the finish line is in sight and your team is trying to clinch. Harrison has been this club's most consistent starter all season. He's stopped losing streaks. He's won key games in big series. He made the All-Star team and is a candidate to start Game 1 of the ALDS, though the Rangers haven't clinched anything yet.
After two straight losses to the A's that have kept the magic number stuck on five with the hard-charging Los Angeles Angels set to come to town this weekend, it's time for Harrison to give this team another solid performance.
"If we come back tomorrow and win a ballgame, they come up in here and leave out of here the same way they came in," manager Ron Washington said. "We feel like we're going to win tomorrow."
The skipper said that moments after his team struggled in a 9-3 loss Wednesday. Part of his confidence comes from his team's resiliency, which has been on display for three seasons. But a big part of that is Harrison, who is 2-1 with a 1.61 ERA in his last three starts. He's trying to become the first 18-game winner for the Rangers since Kenny Rogers in 2004.
Harrison is pitching against a team that has struggled against him. Harrison is 5-1 with a 3.00 ERA in eight career starts against the A's, including a 3-0 mark and a 2.33 ERA in four starts in Arlington.
He's the guy the Rangers want in this situation. Washington has his big pieces in the bullpen if needed, like Alexi Ogando, Robbie Ross, Mike Adams and Joe Nathan.
"We need Harry to go out there and do what Harry does, which is keep us in the ballgame," Washington said. "If he keeps us in the ballgame, we'll be fine."

The Department of Conservation (DOC) is rejecting claims a performance review indicates last year's restructure has not been well implemented.
The State Services Commission performance review released this week said although DOC was moving in the right direction, "much of the change implementation still lies ahead".
Green Party conservation spokeswoman Eugenie Sage said the review indicated the restructure was not working.
About 70 jobs were lost when DOC merged its 11 regional conservancies into six. The changes took effect from September last year.
Managerial roles cut in the restructure were returning in an "ad-hoc way out of necessity" and there was an increase in injury rates, Sage said.
"This report shows that National's restructuring and budget cuts have had a massive negative impact on the Department of Conservation," she said.
DOC director-general Lou Sanson said it was rated as "well placed" in seven out of 10 core functions.
The department was scored as "weak" or "needing development" on 14 out of 17 criteria in organisational management, including structure, roles and responsibilities.
The reviewers said DOC needed to ensure staff understood their roles in the new structure and although DOC was "headed in the right direction . . . much of the change implementation still lies ahead".
DOC manages concessions and permits for a range of activities on the conservation estate, but the review noted user experiences were "mixed".
While new technologies had streamlined some processes, such as online applications for hunting permits, in other areas, including concessions, the process was described as "clunky" and inefficient.
The report also noted there had been six serious harm incidents with staff in the previous year. It had also been prosecuted for a fatality in November 2012 after the death of a volunteer on Raoul Island.
The reviewers said the department needed a "culture change towards an expectation of a no-injury workplace", which Sanson said was being implemented.
"The safety and wellbeing of staff is a very high priority for me - we have started a new programme which aims to ensure all staff return safe home every day," he said.
With responsibility for one-third of New Zealand's land area, the reviewers said DOC did not have the resources to "satisfactorily maintain all of this land", which had led to internal prioritisation and a focus on partnerships.
The review said it was too soon to tell whether the strategy would play out, "but it was clear that business as usual was no longer an option".
The department's restructure was expected to cost about $13 million, but that was anticipated to be recouped through savings over three years.

Interestingly, a new twist on an alternative revenue generator has emerged: the democratized digital tip jar. Sites like Wikipedia have employed an online tip jar for years in the form of regular requests for donations from its users via PayPal, credit/debit cards, and other payment methods. But now a major player in the digital donations space-Flattr-is partnering with AdBlock Plus to offer Flattr Plus, a browser extension/app that enables users to remove online ads from sites they visit while also contributing a monthly payment in an amount they choose that will be distributed proportionally to publishers of the sites they surf.

Marist College and IBM have announced plans to build an interactive digital media infrastructure to provide online resources and tools to the university community. Under the collaborative arrangement, IBM is supplying Marist with a combination of software, hardware, and services to enable a digital media infrastructure that will support the creation, storage, and exchange of digitized content via the Internet. Marist plans to use the technology to implement a variety of new interactive online modules, including: linked and improved access to several digital media archives currently housed at the school; Web-based portals for team rooms, bulletin boards, and instant messaging; orientation materials for new faculty; and college credit bridge courses. The Marist digital media project will use a number of new technologies developed by IBM Research, including Rich Media Distribution Utility (RMDU), Enterprise Media Beans (EMBs), and Xcast. The infrastructure will be built around Digital Media Delivery Solution (DMDS) developed by IBM and Cisco. DMDS is an integrated solution that enables enterprises to deliver digital media, including live video, building on existing network infrastructure. DMDS integrates Cisco Application and Content Networking System (ACNS) with IBM DB2 Content Manager, WebSphere Portal Server and Rich Media Distribution Utility to address the changing requirements of Marist's environment. IBM is supporting the Marist College digital media project through a Shared University Research award. The project also will be supported by IBM software technologies, including WebSphere Application Server, DB2 Universal Database, and DB2 Content Manager, which are made available to Marist faculty and researchers via the IBM Scholars university product portal. IBM's Shared University Research (SUR) program awards computing equipment (servers, storage systems, personal computing products, etc.) and services to colleges, universities and institutions of higher education around the world to facilitate research projects in areas of mutual interest, including: Life Sciences, Grid Computing, Autonomic Computing and Deep Computing.
