Theistic Arguments: Anselm's Ontological Argument
Anselm was a theologian fron the 11th century. In 1078 he wrote his famous book 'Proslogium', in which he presented an argument for the existence of God that is now known as Anselm's Ontological Argument. In my honest opinion it is quite preposterous, but as it has been very influential I'll discuss it. And I'm certainly not in bad company: among the opponents of Anselm are Thomas Aquinas and Immanuel Kant, whereas people like René Descartes, Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Leibniz have presented arguments similar to Anselm's. One of those is discussed in Descartes' God-claim.
Anselm's Ontological argument goes like this:
1. God is the greatest thing that can be conceived. (Axiom)
2. If God did not exist, something greater than god would exist. (Axiom)
3. But no greater thing than god can be conceived. (Axiom 1, repeated)
4. Because 2 is in contradiction with 1, 2 cannot be true. Therefore, God must exist.
In other words:
1. Someone who doubts the existence of God at least knows what God is: the greatest thing that can be conceived
2. It is greater to exist outside the mind then just in the mind.
3. Therefore someone who doubts God says that something greater can be thought of than God.
4. This is in contradiction with the definition of God, and therefore cannot be true.
5. Hence God exists.
If it doesn't seem to make sense, read it over a couple of times. If it still doesn't seem to make sense, don't worry. It was probably not meant to. The arguments against Anselm are very numerous, and I'll give them now.
Analytical statements and Synthetic Statements
The most basic criticism of Anselm's argument is that he tries to prove a synthetic statement as if it were an analytic statement. He tries to prove the existence of something without any reference to the world. It seems reasonable to assume that it is impossible to prove whether something does or does not exist from it's definition alone. As the Encarta puts it: "one cannot infer the extramental existence of anything by analyzing its definition".
Existence as Attribute
Kant reasoned that 'existence' is not an attribute of an object, like 'temperature', 'size' etc. According to Kant existence is not something that can be associated with the definition of an object. For instance, take the definition for 'quircle': A quircle is a circle that exists. Now it seems impossible for us to reach any other conclusion that that a quircle, and thus a circle, exists, for that's what the definition tells us. But this is obviously not good reasoning, for we could prove that anything exists, using this method. We conclude that 'existence' is not an attribute that can be used in a definition. Therefore the existence or non-existence of God cannot have anything to do with the definition of God, and Anselm's Ontological Argument fails.
Is God the greatest thing that can be conceived?
What is greater than a huge birthday cake? Two huge birthday cakes! A very bad children's joke that can be applied to everything, and has through the years been applied to many things, suddenly gets a philosophical meaning. What is greater than God? Two gods! Surely this is true? But by definition, if two gods are greater than God, then God is not the greatest thing that can be conceived, which is a contradiction. Let me write it down:
1. God is the greatest thing that can be conceived.
2. Two Gods are greater than God.
3. 1 and 2 are in contradiction.
If we agree that 2 is true, we must see that 1 false. But if God is not the greatest, than something else is the greatest, and the argument just continues infinitely. We must agree that 'X is the greatest thing that can be conceived' is a meaningless sentence, and Anselm's argument breaks down.
Example of Application
Let us apply Anselm's argument to another case. Gaunilo, a contemporary of Anselm did this, claiming that 'Lost Island' was the greatest island he could conceive of. It had anything anyone could ever want, and was just the very greatest island that could exist. By applying Anselm's argument we would have to conclude that it does in fact exist. Does it? Uh, no... If you think this does not disprove the validity of Anselm's argument, but merely proves that Lost Island exists, then I would ask you to apply the reasoning to 'Positive Atheism's Ultimate Argument', which is the greatest argument that proves that God does not exist...
Conceiving vs. Existence
Anselm states that 'God is the greatest thing can be conceived' and 'The greatest thing that exists is not God' are contradictory. I say that they are not. Whether or not God exists, I can still conceive of Him. The one is a matter of the imagination, the other is a matter of reality. I claim that there is no contradiction anywhere. If the greatest island that exists is Australia, that doesn't mean I can't conceive of Lost Island. Anselm's argument doesn't make sense, since it uses a contradiction that simply is not there.
Good, Evil & Perfection
Perfection is 'the ultimate Good'. But does this exist? Are Good and Evil things we can define objectively? Because if we can't, 'perfection' is a meaningless word, and Anselm's argument once more becomes meaningless. It is not my wish to use this article for a discussion of Good & Evil, but before we can even begin discussing Anselm's argument, someone must prove that Good and Evil are objectively definable things.
There are at least six major arguments against Amselm's, and all of them have to be adressed before his can be accepted.

Show announcement time!
On March 25, at 6 p.m. We The Kings will be performing with guests, This Century, Crash The Party, and The New Royalty.
The New Royalty you may know as we've covered them in 2013 a few times, but This Century and Crash The Party you may not.
While we couldn't find enough substantial information to cover Crash The Party, we know that This Century is a touring band from Phoenix, and their pop-rock sound is sure to blow everyone away. Their debut Sound Of Fire, released on Action Theory/Warner Bros. is certainly a fresh tasting sound in a genre filled with more of the same. The originality of their sound, and the combination of subtle acoustics and sharp pop-rock electricity gives them a real edge in this scene, and seeing as NJ is filled with country, folk, and rock fans, they'll be a welcome site for fans at Starland.
Be sure to make your way there in March, you can get your tickets by clicking here for only $17, which is a steal considering the nature of the bands playing.

Alma Folk In New Red Hook Waterfront Deal
Lobster rolls and mini golf.
It's pretty much impossible to hang out at Fairway Red Hook without saying to yourself, "If you don't think this is the coolest area in Brooklyn, then we probably can't be friends." Luckily, a few like-minded people, who also happen to own Alma, have assumed the lease at Brooklyn Crab, the big, promising shack across the street from the Fairway mecca, and plan to open something seafood-centric and mini-golf-minded, with two decks overlooking the Harbor, by summertime. Holy calamari, sounds fun! [Eater]

Question about SWRL Tab: negative rules to delete instances
Dear Martin J. O'Connor,
We are very impressed with SWRL Tab tool that you developed.
We are currently using it for our research to define Information Access Control rules. However, it does not allow us to define negative rules that can delete instances from OWL,
We would like to extend your work to implement negative rules, but are not sure if that makes sense nor foresee any issues and challenges that might make you not to do that. Could you please give us some advices?
Thank you very much.

Tech Products News: Apple's Trade-In Program, and a Simple Android Controller That Kickstarter Loved
Josh Wolonick
Plus, a new keyboard that doesn't make a racket.
The New Apple Trade-In Program Launched Today
Since the first iPhone launched in 2007 and changed the direction of smartphones, users have been unable to trade in their old iPhones for a newer version at
(NASDAQ:AAPL) retail stores. Today, the company is changing that, finally launching a trade-in program for older iPhone models.
Such buyback programs are currently offered by retailers like
Best Buy
(NYSE:TGT), and
Radio Shack
(NYSE:RSH). At those stores, and depending on the model, a traded-in iPhone can garner a customer between $150 and $350. The Apple Store trade-in program will pay customers with store credit towards a newer model. According CNBC, those customers must sign a new contract for cell phone service in order to take advantage of the trade-in program. The Apple Store is also offering a service to recycle non-functioning iPhones, but does not offer any financial compensation for it.
Apple is now competing with online companies like Gazelle, which allows smartphone users to mail in their old phones and get paid with a check, an
(NASDAQ:AMZN) gift card, or via PayPal. In many cases, users can make even more money selling their old phones on
(NASDAQ:EBAY) and on online market places like Craigslist.
Amidst the already successful competition, it remains to be seen if Apple can offer its customers a competitive option for trading in their old iPhones.
One Software Developer Decided to Design the Perfect Keyboard
The American software developer, author, blogger, and entrepreneur Jeff Atwood, most known for co-founding the programming question-and-answer website
Stack Overflow
, spends a good amount of his time in front of his computer. Frustrated with the current state of keyboards, he contacted Weyman Kwong of WASD Keyboards early last year and launched a project to develop his version of the perfect keyboard. Over a year later, the result of that collaboration has been released: the CODE keyboard. As Atwood describes it, the keyboard is the "only simple, clean, beautiful backlit mechanical keyboard [he has] ever found."
The keys of the CODE are made with Cherry MX Clear mechanical switches, which give actual physical feedback to a user's typing, but without any clicking noise. The keyboard is backlit by LED, has a detachable USB cable, and is fully modifiable for users who like to arrange the keys differently than the standard QWERTY setup. The customization options even allow for the switch from Window's "Control" key to Apple's "Command." And for all you font aficionados out there, Atwood and WASD went with Helvetica for the keys.
There are two models of the keyboard, one with 104 keys and one with 87. Both sell for $149.99. You can check them out
A One-Button Android Controller, Kickstarted in Less Than a Day
The Pressy in an Android phone, from the device's Kickstarter page.
Pressy is a 0.7mm-tall device that plugs straight into the headphone jack of any
(NASDAQ:GOOG) phone (running Gingerbread of later) and allows the phone's user to customize special controls with the Pressy's one, discrete button. Confused? Well, with the Pressy app, users can assign any task on the phone (calling Mom, taking a picture, etc.) to a series of clicks with Pressy's one small button: two short clicks could call your mother, one long click could take a picture.
The project has been wildly successful on Kickstarter: Within its first day on the crowdfunding website, which was yesterday, the small, simple device raised $108,435 from 4,889 backers (as of this writing, it is up to $237,143 from 9,951 backers). Being funded within less than a day (it's initial target was $40,000), the Pressy joins the ranks of other mega-popular Kickstarter devices, like the Pebble smartwatch and the Bolex Camera, a pistol-gripped video camera that shows its footage as uncompressed RAW files, doing away with the need to transition from one format to another.

City receives conditional use permit application for grower/processor in Commerce and Industrial Park
December 12, 2013 | Vol. 117 -- No. 34
Cheney may soon have its first tenant for the city's Commerce and Industrial Park – but it's not who the city was expecting to see.
In a staff report to the Cheney Planning Commission Monday night, Public Works Director Todd Ableman informed the commission the city has received a conditional use application from Cheney Hydroponics, a business seeking to receive a marijuana processing license from the state and build a facility in the business park located in south Cheney. The City Council passed an interim zoning ordinance at its Nov. 12 meeting, and amended at its meeting last week,...

Minding what matters
Sunday, March 17, 2013
Last year my life felt like it was unraveling. It was full of wonderful, but intense changes. In fact it wasn't the year per say, but my perception of it that made me feel overwhelmed.
I finally knuckled down and agreed to see a doctor, thanks to one of my friends and my loving husband.
My doctor put me on Welbutrin. At first it sapped all my energy away. Again, it took me awhile to admit that it wasn't helping. It's like I felt that I somehow deserved to feel exhausted and sad.
Anyway, he adjusted the dose and things got a bit better. In the back of my mind I knew that I wanted to A: see a therapist to see if they could help.
When I found mine it was an answer to prayers. I didn't know how to find one. Asking for recommendations seemed odd since none of my family members had a therapist. One of my friends has a therapist, but hers wasn't covered by my insurance. It wasn't something I was comfortable talking about with aquatences either.
When I found my therapist it was through a few seemingly random events and the recommendation of a therapist who wasn't taking patients. The instant I went in I knew it was the perfect fit. Everything about the office and staff felt right.
I've been seeing my therapist for four months now. Since then I've learned meditation techniques, about the work and other ways to feel more centered. I've also had a few personal epiphanies.
Is it all because of the therapist? Do I think everyone should go to therapy? No, we're all individuals. My reactions have been the combination of therapy, meds and working toward being mentally and physically healthier.
However, it's been a 180 for me. Several months ago, I was constantly contemplating taking my life. I can't explain why. It's hard to put the desperately painful and mentally confusing thoughts into words. Logically I knew I wanted to live, but logic goes out of the window when that deeper emotional thought process takes over.
Asking for help was enormously hard for me. I was raised with the notion that medications and therapy were both taking the 'easy' or 'weak' way. Now I realize that it couldn't be further from the truth. I have a chemical imbalance. Taking care of it doesn't make me weak, it makes me responsible.
I'm so grateful for the love and support of friends and family on this journey. There's still a lot I need to learn, but thankfully I have those resources. I'm incredibly blessed. For me, these things have literally saved my life. It's a beautiful world and I'm glad that I can appreciate and experience the ups and downs.

Calming Sounds of Nature
These beautiful, tranquil images of nature were taken down on the forest floor, with Sounds of Nature and Ambient Music with the wonderful Sound of Wood Land Bird Song.
Category: Videos
Comments (4)
Trackback URL | Comments RSS Feed
I love the images and the sounds of the birds but honestly I found the background "music" annoying. It almost overshadowed the music of the birds and I turned it off which is sad because for me aside from the background sound it was soothing and beautiful.
Loved it
Somebody goofed. The AWFUL background "Ambient Music" forced me to turn the video off, what a waste.
Nature sounds do not include ambient music to hide the beauty.

Tomorrow marks opening day of the 2012 lowland lakes season- and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife expects anglers to reel in trout that are one-third bigger than last year, making the state's biggest fishing day of the year just a little bit better.
The larger fish are the result of changes in the trout hatchery rearing programs after feedback from anglers who enjoy catching larger fish.
Fish Biologist for Chelan and DouglasCounties, Travis Maitland, tells KOZI news that local anglers will be benefiting from those hatchery rearing changes.
About 300,000 anglers typically turn out for the first day of the lowland lakes season statewide, marking the start of the state's most popular fishing season.
To participate in tomorrow's lowland lakes opener, anglers must have a current Washington freshwater fishing license valid through March 31, 2013. Children 14 years of age and younger do not need a fishing license."CLICK HERE" for Audio

The University of Texas at Austin is finalizing a revised Objectivity in Research policy that must be implemented by Aug. 24, 2012. The new policy will incorporate changes to meet updated federal requirements governing disclosure and reporting of Financial Conflicts of Interest and will affect all UT Austin researchers.
The university's revised policy requiring disclosure of financial interests applies to all individuals who are involved in the design, conduct or reporting of research. There are additional disclosure requirements for researchers funded by the Public Health Service (PHS) and staff working on PHS-funded studies.
For information on the new PHS policy, see the list of Frequently Asked Questions at the National Institutes of Health website. At the university, the Office of Research Support is providing updates on its Conflict of Interest page. The web page will soon contain links to a required training module, a web-based financial interest disclosure form and information on face-to-face training.
The ORS will host a webinar about the policy. It will be from noon-1:30 p.m., July 11, 2012 at NOA 5.318. For more information and to register, go here.

"The consequences will be kind of incredible," said Luis Zayas, dean of UT's School of Social Work. "It is a chance for these kids to continue their lives as Americans. The guidelines are set. We want well-trained, law-abiding kids who are already doing incredible things for themselves and their families."

One goal of the Healthy People 2010 program is to reduce health disparities across different segments of the population. Identification of specific language impairment (SLI) and careful description of its trajectory during the school-age years is one area where disparities continue to exist. One large population that is currently understudied is the Spanish-English bilingual school population. We propose to study bilingual children with and without language impairment in order to reduce health disparities. Understanding the relationships among phonology, semantics and morphosyntax will provide insights about possible supports these children need for making gains in their two languages. Documenting changes in language processing over time in both languages will contribute to the scientific knowledge base about expected trajectories.

Secrets of Success
Turning 30
Wednesday, August 01, 2012
I'm turning 30 August 13th and we're getting close. I'm going on a trip for my birthday so I'm posting this now. I've been thinking about this blog the past few days and what to write and how I feel. There are a lot of things going on in my head and one thing I've learned is that I'm nervous about it because of how I'm eating....eating very poorly. I don't know if it's my trip or the pressure I feel about this birthday but I'm taking it out by eating.
I guess my first thoughts about this birthday are:
How did I get so old? Yes, 30 really isn't that old and I'm whinny about this as I'm sure some folks have turned 30 before but I do feel old. I just keep thinking the 40 is the next big one and I'm scared of that one!
I just think there is so much I wanted to do, be and accomplish by the time I was 30. Most of this has to do with weight. I don't think I'll ever feel like a success until I lose the weight. I believe with all of my being that my ultimate goal in this life is to overcome my stuggles with weight.I hold myself back from traveling, hanging out with friends and having my dream job because I don't think I can do it at my weight. Yes, things are much harder when I have to find seats I can sit in and not break but some of this is mental as well. Overally, the most disappointing thing is that I didn't lose the weight in my 20s. I think back to all the perfect opportunities I had to do it but I just keep gaining the weight and going in the opposite direction. I always thought I would be a healthy weight by now and I'm not. I'm beyond disappointment.
This is an interesting picture for me. I've always felt that I would die young. It's a horrible thing to say but I feel like 30 is my mid-life point. My Dad just passed away at 56 and my Ma is 62 but has been on disability because her arthritis is so bad for years. I don't have a great genetic predisposition. I know if I don't lose the weight, I'll have less years to live. You would think that would be motivation but it's not and it scares me.
I just don't know what it's going to take to flip that switch. I've been on Spark for a long time, seen a therapist to work out my 'issues', I'm on two blood pressure medications, I hate how I'm limited in my actions because of my size, I read my old blogs and I've tried so many things, lost more than 50 lbs, gained it all back and now I'm at my highest weight ever. I know all these things and then I go to Wendy's like I did last night and get a dinner before dinner and eat it and feel guilty. I'm so sick of it.
One thing I have not done and will not do is stop trying. I may mess up 17 times per day and eat way over my calories but I never stop thinking about making that positive change. I may not act on it but I'm thinking about it. If I ever stop thinking about it I know I'm in trouble, I've given up. I don't ever want to do that. So, in that spirit, leaving all this crap behind, I'm going to come up with 30 goals for my 30th year and stick to them no matter what.
I have not come up with them yet. I want them to be realistic but challenging and I want to think about it a lot. They probably won't be all fitness related which I think is ok. I'll post those later this week. I hate to do the proverbial 'wait until Monday' type of thing but I'm going to.
So, overall those are my thoughts. I'm disappointed but I have a desire to change which I think is the first step. I'll be honest, I'm not too confident that I'll succeed, and I should change that outlook, but I want a different more successful life so bad I can't see myself stopping until I get it.

Its better to be working on it in your 30's than not to work on it at all. I'm 42 and working on it again. Being 30 didn't bother me turning 40 did though. I don't like being in this age group. But the 30's are great. Don't hold back live life to the fullest. You can't get these years back. Happy early birthday to you.

I love the idea with the 30 goals for the 30th yr. Wish i would have thought of that when i turned 30. I tend to live life everyday as if it was my last, so my thought to you is whatever you desire go for it! It is easier said than done but you've made it this far baby!! Don't take this the wrong way, and i'm not trying to be fresh, but don't women reach thier sexual prime @ 30?
Enjoy your trip
and remember it is never how many times we fall but it is the will and fortitude to get back up!

In today's economy, being able to go to a restaurant and get good food and excellent service usually coincide with expensive bills at the end. I'm happy to tell you there is a place you can go and get great service, delicious food, and get it at a price that wont have you bleeding Benjamins.
The Counter is a chain restaurant, but don't let that fool you. Customizable food is their specialty - in that you build it, they make it.
Located in 10 states as well as in another country (Ireland), they're famous for what they do. Established in 2003, per their website, the concept is simple. "The Counter® is the 21st century's bold answer to the classic burger joint. Ushering in a fresh era of industrial decor, today's music, cold beer, unique wines, cocktails, and burger options that are only limited by your imagination." The site has actually listed that there are over 312,120 different burger combinations. So every time you go, you could try something new, and never get bored.
I love this restaurant, and more yet, I love eating the food and drink while sitting outside on their patio enjoying the temperate weather of Walnut Creek, seeing people walk hand in hand, or even walking their dogs. The location is prime, the food fantastic, the service exceptionally good, and the atmosphere, worth every penny.
Take a moment, go check out this place. And, as if all that wasn't enough, you can even join their list to get updates on events, sales, and anything else new with the "Counter Culture".
For your reference, I've included some information regarding Walnut Creek's location, but look on the site to find a location near you. They're growing, and coming to a town near you soon!

The 1st Suicide Squad comic come out in 1959. There has been many comics bearing the same name since then. The newest being the New 52 Suicide Squad being the 4th volume came out in 2011. Ran by Amanda Waller the members of this squad were; Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, Captain Boomerang, The Unknown Soldier, James Gordon Jr., and Cheetah. The writers are Adam Glass, Ales Kot, and Matt Kindt.
DC has announced the new relaunch of Suicide Squad. On July 9th a new team will be taking the name and forming the New Suicide Squad. New Suicide Squad will be written by Sean Ryan and have art by Jeremy Roberts. We will also be seeing new teams members. From the cover of the comic we see Amanda Waller, Harley Quinn, and Deadshot in chains. The new members being Joker's Daughter, Deathstroke, and Black Manta.
The 1st mission for the group not ran by Amanda Waller will be a trip to Vladimir Putin's Russia. According to artist Jeremy Roberts this new series will be a great jump in point for new readers and will make long time fans very happy. I'm sad to see Harley go. She was one of my favorite characters, along with Deadshot, in the story.
Who was your favorite Suicide Squad team members and why?

Recovering swiftly from their semi-final disappointment, Brazil stormed to victory over Japan to take third place at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Rio de Janeiro 2005. The Japanese resisted well in the first few minutes until, exhausted by their heroic exploits this week, they finally cracked against an Auriverde side determined to save face in front of their own fans.
"Today we proved that Brazilian beach soccer cannot be destroyed by losing a penalty shoot-out," announced the host nation's coach Índio after the match. "My team showed all their experience and professionalism. It's true that this isn't the final placing we'd hoped for, but we did everything we could to make sure we finished third."
Brazil began unsurely in what was a fairly strange encounter, with the home crowd notably less enthusiastic than usual. It was immediately clear that the Brazilians never expected to be involved in the match for third place, and their punishment was swift. Meeting a throw-out from goalkeeper Kato, Kawaharazuka lobbed a deft header beyond Robertinho (1-0).
But without the injured Makino, one of the revelations of the tournament, Japan were an invariably weaker proposition than in previous matches. And the Auriverde were not slow in responding to the early blow. Junior Negão, Buru and Juninho all found the back of the net to give Brazil a comfortable two-goal lead at the end of the first period (3-1).
Worn out by four draining games in the last few days, the Japanese looked to be suffering badly in the second period. Errors of technique began creeping into their game and they soon had to rely on Kato to try and prevent a deluge of goals.
With twelve minutes to go, however, Brazil's lead had become a lot healthier: Nenem (2), Benjamin and Buru had all struck for the hosts, with only Wakabayashi hitting the target for Japan (7-2). The stage was set for Romario, and he brought the stadium to its feet with a quickfire hat-trick that took the scoreboard into double figures for the first time in the competition (10-2).
The Japanese were hardly in the game at all by now. No one could blame them after such a fabulous and physically-demanding week, however, and Brazil had the decency to play seriously, without pushing themselves to the limit. They still had one more goal in them, though, which appropriately enough fell to Jorginho, who had had sections of the crowd on his back after missing the decisive penalty in yesterday's semi-final (11-2).
Japan coach Rui Ramos accepted the outcome with typical honesty. "After a match like the one we had against France, it was difficult to muster the kind of energy needed to live with Brazil. In the end, we held on for seven minutes, but Brazil wanted to win so badly that we couldn't keep up with their rhythm."
Referees: Pinto Correia (POR), Lakhdar Benchabane (FRA), Joao Almeida (POR).

Did you go to Green Bay to watch the New Orleans Saints this weekend? It looked like it wasn't that cold up there yet. The tundra wasn't frozen and the sun was shining. So hopefully you had a good day in Green Bay despite the tough loss suffered by the Saints.
At some point, we're sure you pulled out your cell phone and snapped a couple of pictures of you and your friends enjoying the game in that historic football field.
When you have a moment, please pick the one or two you think are the best and either upload them here or email them to email@example.com.
We would love to share them with the rest of the Who Dat Nation so they can see how much fun you had. This will have the added benefit of getting more Who Dats on the road to support the Saints in hostile territory.

Redding Police arrested an AB-109 parolee early Wednesday, after a foot chase that led them to the Sacramento River.
It started Wednesday at 3:53 a.m. when officers responded to the Hilltop Garden Inn at 5050 Bechelli Lane, for a report of subjects trying to go through vehicles.
When officers arrived, they attempted to detain John Wilkinson, 48, of Redding. Police said Wilkinson, who is on AB 109 supervision, picked up a sharpened stick approximately the size of a baseball bat. According to a news release from Redding Police, Wilkinson brandished the weapon at officers by assuming a batting type stance.
Police said Wilkinson told officers that they would have to kill him before he would return to jail. Wilkinson then ran off and tried to run down the steep embankment toward the Sacramento River. He lost his footing and fell down.
Wilkinson went into the river, then came back up the embankment. Police K-9 Carr was deployed and Wilkinson kicked the dog in the face. Officers used batons to strike Wilkinson to subdue and arrest him.
Wilkinson was booked into the Shasta County Jail for brandishing a weapon at a peace officer, felony resisting a peace officer, and battering a police dog.
K-9 Carr will be medically checked at a later time.

Is the number $1$ a subset of the set $\{1\}$ just as $\{1\}$ is a subset of the set $\{\{1\}\}$? I'm a little bit confused because $1$ is an
$1$ is an element of $\{1\}$, $\{1\}$ is a subset of $\{1\}$, $\{1\}$ is an element of $\{\{1\}\}$ and $\{\{1\}\}$ is a subset of $\{\{1\}\}$.
$1$ is generally not a subset of $\{1\}$, since $1$ is a natural number (or a real number, or whatever) and not a set. These objects are of two different types.
But there is something to be said here. We can represent numbers using sets. We can declare that $0$ is $\varnothing$, and that $1=\{0\}$ or $\{\varnothing\}$, and that $2=\{0,1\}$ and so on. Then a number is a set.
Still that doesn't mean that $1\subseteq\{1\}$. This would very much depend on the representation of $1$ as a set.
So while "working mathematics" is typed (meaning the type of objects matters), we can also work in an untyped environment, where everything has the same type (for example, everything is a set).
$1 \in \{1\}$
$\{1\} \subseteq \{1\}$
As you said, 1 is an element of $\{1\}$, not a set.
As @AsafKaragila already said, you can define natural numbers as sets. In fact, in most axiomatic set theories, that's the only way of defining numbers, since every element of a set is a set.
As for your specific question, suppose that $1\subset\{1\}$. This leaves us with two options:
Option 1 is possible, since identifying $1$ with the empty set is perfectly valid, but it's much more natural to identify $0$ with the empty set.
Option 2 just "looks wrong", but in elementary set theory, we can't really make any statements beyond that. In any axiomatic set theory that includes the Axiom of Regularity, $1=\{1\}$ is false since $x\notin x$ for every set $x$.
On both the cases, 1 is element of {1} & {1} is element of {{1}}. i.e. 1 ∈{1} & {1}∈{{1}}
And, in case of subset, {1} is subset of {1}. i.e. {1}⊆{1}
No. Every natural number is constructed based on set theory. Because of that every natural number is a set. To be more general, because we build up the whole mathematics from set theory, we can say that in mathematics everything is a set. The construcion is the following.
Since $1 = \{ 0 \} = \{ \emptyset \}$ and $\{1\} = \{ \{ 0 \} \} = \{ \{ \emptyset \} \}$ and the subsets of $\{ 1 \}$ are $\wp\left( \{ 1 \}\right) = \wp\left(\{ \{ \emptyset \} \}\right)=\{\emptyset,\{ \{ \emptyset \} \}\}$ we can say that $ \{ \emptyset \} \notin \wp\left(\{1\}\right) $ so $\{ \emptyset \} \not\subseteq \{ \{ \emptyset \} \}$ and that is why $1 \not\subseteq \{1\}$.
On the other hand, because we have an axiom of extensionality and since we have element predicate, the fact that $\{ 1 \}$ contains $1$ exactly means that $1 \in \{1\}$.
It is ambiguous but not uncommon to see a set with a single member referred to as simply that member, in contexts where the author would expect the reader to understand that only sets are under discussion.

Decorating your master bedroom is probably more fun than decorating any other room in your home! Why? Because it's the one room in your home that you can truly allow your personality to shine! Remember, this is your space, and you deserve the best!
And, as with every decorating project, first things first! It's important to develop a decorating plan that fits your needs, your lifestyle and most importantly your pocketbook!
Consider taking these three simple and easy steps!
Step #1: Begin your project by visualizing, and then listing, all the types of activities you'll want to conduct in your "get-away" haven. Perhaps it's writing thought-provoking entries in your daily journal; reading your favorite books; knitting; needlework; watching old romantic movies on your TV/DVD player; daily meditation; contemplating your plans for the next day - whatever the activity, think through what types of things will make you the happiest in your new master bedroom retreat.
Step #2: Look at your bedroom space with a "critical" eye. Ask yourself, can your bedroom, with your given amount of space, accommodate all of the activities you listed. While the answer is usually yes, you may still need to take advantage of some clever pre-planning.
Step #3: Think about "coloring your world" – especially your soon to be redesigned master bedroom. As with most all decorating projects, one of your first priorities is locking in a color scheme. Color sets the stage and provides harmony to everything else that will eventually find its way into your new bedroom. It's the backdrop that surrounds all of your furnishings, fabrics and accessories, lighting – EVERYTHING!

Currently teach one undergraduate applied nutrition course in addition to helping out with other nutrition courses. In addition, will develop a graduate level course in area of expertise. Also responsible for conducting research on fetal programming in cows and also supplementation strategies for calves that can increase marbling in steers.
Research interest:
Area of expertise is in the field of fetal programming which is the study of the effects of maternal and environmental factors that cause alteration in fetal growth and development. I then investigate how the changes to the fetus persist into the postnatal animal and leads to physiological effects like diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. To accomplish my research I utilize sheep and cattle as my models. In addition to this research, I am interested in the effects of postnatal nutrition and specific nutrients on growth and marbling of calves.

Yes, the Methow Valley State Airport is a federally-funded airport that is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). For more than 23 years, WSDOT has received federal grants for projects at Methow. The NPIAS is comprised of nearly 3,400 existing and proposed airports that are significant to the national air transportation, and thus eligible to receive federal grants under the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP). The NPIAS contains all commercial service airports, all reliever airports, and selected general aviation airports.
The main purpose of the beacon is to indicate the location of a lighted airport to pilots. It is also an integral part of an airfield lighting system. All airport rotating beacons project a beam of light in two directions, 180 degrees apart. For civil land fields only, the optical system consists of one green lens and one clear lens. The rotating mechanism is designed to rotate the beacon to produce alternate clear and green flashes of light with a flash rate of 24-30 flashes per minute.
As Methow Valley State Airport is a federally obligated airport with a runway edge light system installed with federal funds, the airport owner must equip the airport with a rotating airport beacon. Accordingly, an airport beacon must meet the requirements in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5345-12F, "Specification for Airport and Heliport Beacons."
FAA AC 150/5340-30F, "Design and Installation Details for Airport Visual Aids," states the airport beacon may not be radio-controlled. Any other lighting systems (such as a rotating beacon) that are not radio-controlled will continue to operate at night while the radio-controlled systems (such as runway edge lights) are off or at a reduced light intensity.
WSDOT activated the beacon on July 14 and deactivated it on July 18 in response to community concerns.
WSDOT is conducting a visual impact analysis to study the effects of the beacon and to obtain more input from the community.
Crews tested different angles of the beacon (8- to 12-degrees) and shielding options on Nov. 5-7. The purpose of the testing was to observe the beacon at different angles, take video and still images, test shielding options, and obtain more public feedback. WSDOT considers the visual analysis report a prerequisite for a thoroughly-researched and well-vetted modification to standards request to the FAA for pilot-controlled lighting.
Crews took before and after images of the beacon while off and on for observation and comparison. They also traveled to various observation points to examine the effects of the beacon on the community. This level of detail by experts in the field will lend to a more thorough analysis.
WSDOT sent two press releases regarding the testing, as well as emails to community members who have commented on the beacon in the past.
WSDOT also sent a press release again on Nov. 6 when the beacon testing times changed from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., to 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The report was release in February 2013, and is available at: Methow Valley Airport Beacon Visual Report (pdf 1,400 kb),
WSDOT will incorporate all public comments into the final visual analysis report, which will be used to communicate with the FAA on possible solutions. The report recommended obtaining approval from the FAA for a modification to standards to convert the beacon to pilot-controlled.
In the event the FAA Headquarters in Washington DC does not approve the modification request, WSDOT will work closely with our partners at the FAA Seattle Airports District Office in Renton to determine the appropriate reimbursement of federal funding required to permit the state to operate a non-standard beacon (pilot-controlled).

Cantonese or Staundart Cantonese is a leid spoken in an aroond the ceety o Canton (now Guangzhou) in soothren Cheenae, bi the majority population o Hong Kong an Macau, an as a lingua franca o Guangdong province, eastren Guangxi province, an some neighborin auries. It is uised in Hong Kong an Macau as the de facto offeecial spoken leid o government an instruction in schools. It is spoken bi owerseas Cheenese communities in Canadae, Peru, Panama, the Unitit States an Australie, as well as throughout Europe an Sootheast Asie, being the maist widely spoken Cheenese leid an a lingua franca in mony o these communities. While the same "Cantonese" generally refers narrowly tae the Hong Kong-Guangzhou dialect, it is also uised in a broader sense for the Yue branch o Cheenese, which includes relatit dialects such as Taishanese.
The Cantonese leid is an aa viewed as pairt o the cultural identity for the native speakers athort lairge swathes o soothren Cheenae. Although Cantonese shares muckle vocabulary an grammatical structure with Mandarin Cheenese, the twa leids are no mutually intelligible, in lairge pairt acause o pronunciation differences.[1][2]
Names[eedit | eedit soorce]
In Inglis, the term "Cantonese" is ambiguous. Cantonese proper is the dialect native tae the ceety o Canton, which is the traditional Inglis name o Guangzhou, an later brought tae Hong Kong an Macau; this narrow sense mey be specified as "Canton dialect" or "Guangzhou dialect" in Inglis.[3]
Housomeivver, "Cantonese" mey an aa refer tae the primary branch o Cheenese which contains Cantonese proper as well as Taishanese an Gaoyang; this broader uisage mey be specified as "Yue" (粤). In this airticle, "Cantonese" will be uised for Cantonese proper.

State of the position
This position has been consistently in flux since the arrival of new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan in the offseason. The Saints have pledged to switch to a 3-4 defense under Ryan, but are still in transition mode without the time to acquire all of the personnel they want.
Although the Saints really have nowhere to go but up from last season, it could be a rocky year until Ryan is able to get the players he wants for his scheme. The Saints attempted to do that with free agent Victor Butler, but suffered a heavy blow when he went down with a torn ACL in the last practice of OTAs.
Butler was considered a possible starter at the strongside outside linebacker position. Now the Saints will have to turn to the still inexperienced Martez Wilson as a starter, and find a suitable backup in training camp with time running out until the season begins.
Converted defensive end Will Smith, who at 32 is one of the oldest members of the team, will attempt to slide into the starting role at "Jack" linebacker. Junior Galette will likely back him up.
Rookie Rufus Johnson, a former college defensive end, could also be in the mix for the Sam position. At 6 feet 5 and 272 pounds, Johnson's size alone created buzz during OTAs.

It's that time of year when Outdoor Retailer is upon us. We were invited to test some gear on a trail run at Memory Grove with shelter dogs from Best Friends Animal Shelter. Sadly due to rain and lightning the dogs didn't get to join us. We did however get to try out some awesome gear including running shoes from local company Altra Running.
K. Golden Harper founder and product developer for Altra Running discovered by putting a pair of shoes in the toaster oven (to remove the sole) the benefits of a zero drop running shoe. The toe and heel are even verses a traditional running shoe that has a much higher heel and incline to the toe. By having a zero drop sole and a much wider toe box you can have the benefits of a barefoot shoe (less injuries and better running form) with the padding that is needed for running on rocky trails, especially for distances of 50 to 100 miles.
How was the shoe: Felt like running on a cushion of air, I'm used to a barefoot shoe- it was very nice to not feel every rock underneith my foot. My personal preference is a little less cushion and more of a trail based sole, I will be trying out the Superior model which should be more my style. If you do a lot of road running however these would be ideal.
We tried out the new weightless wool line from Ibex. I'm a big fan of merino wool but it tends to be very warm, this new line is combined with nylon. The result: a lightweight shirt that has all the benefits of wool (wicking, doesn't smell, super soft) but is great for hot weather because its light and cool.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening was the samples of backpacking food from Good To Go. Founded by Chef Jennifer Scism- co-owner of New York restaurant Annisa, she wanted healthy backpacking food that actually tastes like food. Winner of the Iron Chef against Mario Batali she is no stranger to cooking challenges. The result: her gluten free pasta was incredible. With more calories and half the sodium of other brands this is definitely a brand worth trying for your next backpacking adventure.
Go Motion was nice enough to show us the latest gear in their line up including this lightweight 1.0 liter hydration pack. It has 100 Lumen led light at chest level, reflective strips, and a flashing red light on the back of the pack. This pack would be perfect for those that run races in the dark, think Ragnar.
Nemo introduced many products ranging from picnic blankets to tents, but my favorite had to be the Nemo Helio Pressure portable camp shower. When you are camping with a dog they get muddy, and a muddy dog in the tent is no fun. Having a high pressure pump shower to hose off the dog, that is brilliant.
Big thanks to Kate for setting up this event and inviting us to tag along.
And a big thanks to Ruffwear for hosting this event. I will be covering more of Ruffwear's upcoming dog gear in my OR dog roundup. This cute beagle from Best Friends is modeling the Slackline leash which can be worn around the waist, which is exactly what you want when running with a dog.

I purchased this dress in June 2013 and wore it once for my wedding in August. It has two parts, a seamless silk dress underneath and a gorgeous overlay of intricate lace and tiny beads. This dress is very comfortable to wear, as there are no constricting seams. It really gives you the best of both worlds of comfort and style, with the added ability to completely remove the lace overlay and still be wearing a full-length silk gown (a very nice touch for the wedding night)! I am sad to part with this dress as it was such a beautiful part of the wedding and it made my husband's jaw drop. I hope, however, that it will serve someone else just as well as it did for me!
- Alterations: There were a few minor alterations to the dress. The final measurements are: Height- I am 5'5" with heels (dress fell perfectly to the end of my toes with the heels on) the dress itself is 51" from the bust to the floor Bust- 29" Waist- 27" Hip- 37"
- Preservation Method: The dress has been dry cleaned.

Rumor: HTC One X (Endeavor) won't have hardware keys on the front, MicroSD card slot
The quad-core Endeavor, which will reportedly be launched under the name of HTC One X, may not look like we've previously believed.
There's been a render of the handset (included below) circulating around the web since November last year, showing four capacitive touch keys on the front. However, according to MoDaCo and an undisclosed source of theirs, the Endeavor / One X will have no hardware keys on the front (which makes sense, since – like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus – the One X will come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich from day one).
Other rumored features:
- the 4.7 inch HD display is not AMOLED, but Super LCD
- there's no MicroSD card slot, but the handset has 32GB of internal memory
- at launch, the handset should run Android 4.0.5
- MicroSIM use only
- 1,800 mAh battery
(image via PocketNow)
Of course, there's no way of confirming these details for now. So let's wait for HTC's press event at MWC 2012 (on February 26) to see exactly what the One X has to offer.

"I love the shirt" he said glancing at me while ringing up the groceries. "Oh thanks, that's my boyfriend." I answered casually, pointing to my Super Squibb logo. "When I was at Saint Joe's I saw his first Wing Bowl… followed him ever since." As he motioned to a few of his Trader Joe's co-workers he said "A few of us here do. He's awesome!" This wasn't the first time a conversation like this had happened. It was one of many since meeting Jon. Leaving the store I wondering to myself just how many people knew him? How many fans were out there?
A few months earlier we were in Atlantic City. A group of us had gathered to celebrate a birthday and the guest of honor wanted to hit the tables. It was Labor Day weekend and we found the last seats. A younger man who was sitting next us kept looking over. Taping his finger on the green felt he questioned, "Hey man, what's this ring for?" "Have you ever heard of Wing Bowl in Philly?" Squibb asked. "I knew it!" screamed the man pointing. "You're Super Squibb! I knew it!" Our dealer was suddenly brought to life. "You're the Wing King? Seriously?" He motioned to his pit boss, "Oh man, we have a celebrity at the table!" The flood gates opened and the questions began to pour in. "How many wings did you eat?" "Do you ever eat after?" "What's it like to be famous for eating chicken?" This sparked an interest from the surrounding tables. A bachelor party swarmed in and another group followed with similar questions and photo ops. "This is great! Man, I'd love to watch you eat!" exclaimed the dealer. He even offered a trip to the buffet for the opportunity to see Squibb in action. With the last question answered and the final picture snapped we made our way from the table. The champ was grinning from ear to ear and I couldn't blame him.
The Wing Bowl has become a huge topic of discussion making Super Squibb a household name. Each year, as the big day approaches he seems to be everywhere. Since 2009 listeners have tuned in to him on the WIP Morning Show. He has also been a guest several times on IHeartRadio's Elvis Duran. His picture has been in papers like The Courier Post and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Most of us have driven past the billboards of him throughout the tri-state. There has even been national coverage including features on news stations, TMZ, and ESPN. No one expected the international exposure that came with competing against Takeru Kobayashi in 2012. Super Squibb was in media headlines in places like Canada, India, and Japan. After being recognized on our vacation to Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, it was clear his fan base just keeps growing. With Wing Bowl 22 quickly approaching, this year has been no exception.
That much exposure could change a person, but the always humble Squibb never let's it get to his head. He has participated in several contests for charity and taken the time from his busy schedule to visit a few high school biology and media classes. Often referred to as "The People's Champion" he really enjoys the opportunity to meet Wing Bowl fans. It's the people who keep him going and the people are why he's back. At the store or down the shore, over seas or on WIP- loyal listeners and faithful fans have been coming out of the woodwork. They are constantly giving words of encouragement and well wishes since his official return, but we want to hear from YOU!

Wind doesn't just blow when power is required – so what can be done with excess energy so that it can be used when it's needed? In pump storage power stations, electrical energy is stored by pumping water upwards. When it then flows down, it produces electricity, and it is a solution that has been used and developed by RWE since 1906. Soon, however, there could be a revolution in this field under the name ADELE – "Adiabater Druckluftspeicher für die Elektrizitätsversorgung", or "adiabatic compressed air store for electricity provision". It may sound complex, but in principle it is a simple concept that will enable energy storage on a far larger scale than has previously been possible.
The first advantage of ADELE when it comes to energy storage is its location. The project can be found in the mountainous Staßfurt area (Saxony-Anhalt) of Germany, where salt is collected from huge layers. Pumping water into the ground loosens the salt, which then rises up as part of a solution. This results in sealed-off caverns below the ground in the salt anticline. The ADELE project plans to pump compressed air into these caverns – once electricity is required again, this air will then drive a generator to produce power.
ADELE makes all the difference
Compressing the air also generates heat automatically – as when pumping a bike tyre. Previous compressed air power stations have released this heat into the atmosphere, unused. Heat is necessary, however, when the compressed air is used in a turbine to generate power. Up until now, this was obtained by burning natural gas. As a result, the efficiency rating was low, CO2 was released into the atmosphere and energy costs were high.
With ADELE, things are different. The heat generated during air compression is actually stored and is then used later on to heat the air flowing through the turbine when producing power. This requires a heat store filled with ceramic material that functions like a thermos flask – albeit one capable of maintaining temperatures of around 620°C. As a result, 70% of the energy originally released, which otherwise would have gone unused, is recovered. RWE is working with General Electric, Züblin and the German Aerospace Centre on the ADELE project. The various parties involved in the project have stumped up 12 million euros for the development phrase, which will continue until 2013.There is global demand for the efficient energy storage prototype, and in Germany there are several salt layers suitable for this solution. These are primarily found in the north and centre of the country, where the need is particularly high as a result of wind turbines.
ADELE is not RWE's sole initiative in this field: as a founder member of the EASE (European Association for Storage of Energy), the firm is in constant discussion with twelve other energy companies regarding key issues in energy storage, its methods and their implementation – e.g. batteries in electric cars. Targeted research and development, as well as practical testing of storage technologies are thus hugely important to the association.Image: Public Domain
