Satellite, Ariel I, Reconstructed Satellite
This is a replica of Ariel-1 satellite, the world's first internationally conceived and executed satellite. The flight model was designed and built by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and carried six British experiments designed to study the ionosphere and its relationship to solar radiation, including cosmic ray, solar emission and ionospheric experiments. This first in a series of five satellites was launched on a Thor Delta rocket on April 26, 1962. Ariel-1 provided data from launch until September 1962 and sporadically after that until it was turned off in November 1964. The artifact was rebuilt from original parts by technicians at GSFC and transferred from NASA in 1975.

By Matt Robinson/Valencia Flyers Junior A Hockey 2/12/2014 15:00 EST
With the playoffs looming and the trade deadline ending Monday 2/10/2014 for the 2013-2014 season, the Valencia Flyers were very busy over the week leading up to the deadline, ultimately adding three players to an already deep roster.
Before last weekend's excellent performance against Fresno, the Flyers were able to add two players via a trade with the Wichita Jr. Thunder in defenseman Jordan Grywacheski and forward Keegan Hull. The Flyers sent forwards Travis Wilson and David Min to Wichita in return. The Flyers also added forward Filip Andreason from Long Beach before the midnight deadline on Monday in return for future considerations.
Grywacheski, the Thunder's captain this season, brings some size and grit to the Flyers defensive core. Listed at 6'4", 215 lbs, Grywacheski is a solid defender who is tough in his own end and battles every shift. He is tough to move off the puck in the corners when battling and makes a strong first pass from within his zone. He is not flashy, but is a shutdown defenseman, something the Flyers will definitely need coming into the playoffs. He will most likely play alongside Sam Taferner, easily making the tandem the largest D pair on the Flyers roster. Grywacheski's steady style of play should certainly help Taferner, who is looked at as a puck moving defenseman, giving him a little of a safety net for the rest of the year.
Keegan Hull adds more speed and skill to an already deep forward pool for the Valencia Flyers. Look for him to be slotted in a second or third line role with Valencia, but he also has the capability to play first line minutes if needed due to injury. Hull is a skilled, big bodied forward, being listed at 6'0", 190lbs. He has excellent hands and a quick release on his shot. He can make moves tight in the corners and really control the puck, while at the same time is not afraid to go to the front of the net and score in the dirty areas.
Andreason is another skilled big bodied forward that will further add depth to the Flyers forward corps. Listed at 6'2", 190 lbs, Andreason figures to be slotted in a 3rd line role, potentially with Wil Barnett and Adam Papayoanou. He would bring puck possession skill as well as more speed to the line, creating an all-around dangerous trifecta with Papayoanou as the goal scorer, Barnett as the physical net presence and Andreason as the setup man.
Over all, all three players will greatly help the Flyers as they push to the playoffs and try and make their first ever Thorne Cup appearance.
Matt Robinson is the Play-by-Play Voice of the Valencia Flyers. In addition, Matt also handles the Valencia Flyers Social Media accounts, produces stories and content for valenciaflyers.net and does Play-by-Play for College of the Canyons Ice Hockey.

Dr. Dan's CortiBalm ($7) may not be the flashiest-looking product on the market, but that's because it doesn't rely on its packaging for its sales. CortiBalm is tried-and-true. The formula is a blend of beeswax, petroleum jelly, mineral oil, and a small amount of hydrocortisone, and it heals chapped lips like a boss! If you're still skeptical, take a look at its 5-star rating!

Going home
Last month I had the pleasure of going back to my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa. to check in with the folks at HomerWood, located in Titusville, and Karndean in Export, Pa. Yes, the picture posted on our Facebook page of Franco Harris and the Immaculate Reception statue at the Greater Pittsburgh Airport was completely self-indulgent. I can't help myself when it comes to my hometown, its sports, its landscape and mainly its people.
In Pittsburgh, you will find some of the hardest working, most genuine people in the nation. They are passionate, they are true to themselves. So it was no surprise when visiting with Wendy Wescoat at HomerWood to hear her passion about the company's product — a uniquely Made in the U.S.A. product. The "character" found in HomerWood hardwood flooring is come by honestly — the wood is procured locally in the Appalachian Mountain range, it is handscraped by the Amish all right there in Titusville.
Next, we were on to Karndean Designflooring in Export to visit with the new vice president of marketing Emil Mellow and PR and social media head Allison Tomei. Again, the execs here gave us, with great pride, a full tour of the facility. And it is an impressive facility, one that the company is quickly outgrowing. Its footprint is the same as other locations here in the states as well as overseas. It houses offices, showrooms, a warehouse and a robust production of presenters for working with the A&D community as well as retail.
This particular issue of FCW is devoted to distribution — I'd say distributors are among the hardest working group of people in the industry, both representing suppliers and serving retailers. As a group, they have been challenged during the recession and the landscape has changed quite a bit over the last few years. Yet, it is by sticking to their core principles, staying true to their roots that the Top 25 have survived and in many cases thrived over the last few years.
Read about CMH — putting the customer first has helped that company stay on top and grow even in the most challenging of times. The company has grown both organically and through acquisition.
Cain & Bultman will celebrate 90 years in business next year. That's something to be proud of. And we've featured a host of other Top 25 distributors over the years including Haines, T&L and Swiff-Train to name a few. In May, we featured Florstar as they celebrated their 25th anniversary. Indeed, there is something special about this group of companies.
To me, the rivers that wrap around the city of Pittsburgh, the many bridges, the downtown skyline and the stadiums that host our beloved sports teams are all part of the city's beautiful landscape. But it's the people that remind me of the basics I grew up with, the work ethic that I've come to admire in so many of you in this industry. There is nothing quite like going home to remind you of the things that matter most.

Tiger Woods Is Dating a 22-Year-Old
File this under "Least surprising news of 2011."
If you had asked us, back during the glory days of Skank Fortnight a little over a year ago, what we could predict about Tiger Woods's life in 2011, we would have told you three things. First, his game would take a tumble in 2010 and then undergo a mediocre recovery by now. Second, his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, would use some of the millions she won in the divorce to buy herself something really nice. And third, Woods would start dating a 22-year-old. All three of those things have come to pass (we are so good at predicting things after they happen!), but even we couldn't have guessed that the 22-year-old in question would be the stepdaughter of one of Woods's longtime friends. Alyse Lahti Johnston's stepfather is Alastair Johnston, the former IMG vice-chair who steered Woods's epic $60 million deal with Nike back in 1996. Whether or not he steered his stepkid toward the richest guy in sports is unknown. But what is known is that he made the introduction to Woods, and now Alyse is getting spotted frolicking around on Woods's 155-foot yacht, Privacy. Presumably, neither of them is talking about the fact that when she first met Woods, her dad's client, she was 7 years old.

Pointe Shoes for Taglioni; Funding & a School for Forsythe; Freelance
Artists Topple a Minister
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2004 The Dance Insider
PARIS -- The Bloch shoe and apparel company
today Fed Exed signed pointe shoes from every single female dancer
of The Australian Ballet from Australia
to Paris, to be placed on Marie Taglioni's deteriorating grave on
April 23, the 200th anniversary of the birth of the first ballerina
to make pointe an art.
Australian Ballet artistic
director David McAllister explained, "Marie Taglioni began the art
of dancing en pointe -- an amazing technique which has inspired
generations of dancers, choreographers, shoemakers and medical practitioners.
Without the pointe shoe would ballet be the internationally renowned
art form we know and love? I think not. Thank you Marie. Your beautifully
ethereal dancing and sore toes will live on forever!"
If Taglioni's legacy
lives on in today's ballet dancers and ballet and modern innovators,
her grave in the Montmartre Cemetery, hidden a few yards behind
Vaslav Nijinsky's ornate, better-maintained, and more prominent
tomb, is in dire condition, the plaque with her name broken in two
and detached from the grave. In an effort to help make sure this
mother of dance is remembered, the Dance Insider has been collecting
pointe shoes to place on the grave for three years, leading up to
her April 23 bicentennial. (To see photographs of the grave and
the pointe shoes, please click here.) Companies and individual dancers interested
in contributing shoes should contact me at email@example.com.
In another development,
Maina Gielgud, artistic associate of Houston Ballet and the co-chair of the Dance Insider's
Marie Taglioni campaign, has announced she will be giving a Romantic
class for the women of the Houston Ballet on April 23, and is encouraging
other companies to consider a similar gesture.
Speaking of dance innovators, the Forsythe saga -- whether William
Forsythe's Ballett Frankfurt would be shut down for want of funding
and political support, as first reported here, appears to have reached a happy resolution. According
to a company spokesperson, the German states of Saxony and Hesse,
as well as the municipalities of Dresden and Frankfurt am Main "have
given William Forsythe the green light to start the operation of
his new company at the Festspielhaus Hellerau / Dresden and at the
Bockenheimer Depot/Frankfurt as of 2005" -- albeit, the company
acknowledged, at reduced funding levels. On Wednesday, the Dresden
City Council agreed to become the final partner.
"The budget will be
less and the company will be smaller," Ballett Frankfurt spokesperson
Mechthild Ruhl told the Dance Insider today. "The Forsythe Company
will be a private company and will get support from the states Hesse
and Saxony and the cities Frankfurt and Dresden and from private
sponsors. In addition we will have income from ticket sales and
tours. The Ballett Frankfurt budget was around 7.5 million Euros
(or $9.4 million) and the Forsythe Company budget will be approximately
4 million Euros (about $5 million at current exchange rates). We
will start at the beginning of 2005 and we are working on our schedule."
The solution of bi-city
ballet companies to scarce arts funding, familiar to the United
States, is relatively new to Germany. Saxony governor Georg Milbradt
and Hesse chief executive Roland Koch hailed the unique agreement
as a landmark in "partnership support of quality art. The crossing
of borders between cities and states and the private support of
this engagement has allowed such a world-renowned artist as William
Forsythe the possibility to produce and perform in the west as well
as in the east of Germany in the near future."
For Dresden, in what
was formerly East Germany, the arrangement has the added incentive
of providing a solution to the Festspielhaus Hellerau, signalling
that the facility's renovation can continue, said Dresden mayor
Ingo Roflberg. "The state of Saxony and the city of Dresden have
set the path to further develop the Festspielhaus Hellerau as a
center of contemporary arts with this contract and the engagement
of William Forsythe."
Frankfurt mayor Petra
Roth -- who Forsythe had implicitly targeted in suggesting the closing
of the company was political -- expressed "relief" that a way had
been found to continue the city's association with a company and
a name, Forsythe, that has come to be synonymous with ballet renovation
in the past 20 years.
While the reduced budget
will still present challenges -- the full current company will not
be maintained -- Forsythe was optimistic, promising that the company
will soon announce plans for an international dance academy. And
he continues to create; his newest ballet bows in Frankfurt April
Speaking of out-of-work artists, these are amazing times in France,
with amazing implications for freelance artists here and, potentially,
abroad. Imagine if you will that freelance dancers and other performing
artists and technicians in the United States, unhappy with cuts
to their benefits, organized, forced the cancellation of the major
summer arts festivals, and toppled the Secretary of Culture. Okay,
first you'd have to imagine freelance dance artists in the US having
any benefits, and that the U.S. had a cabinet-level secretary of
culture -- but you get the idea. This is exactly what's just happened
in France.
Over the summer, as
DI readers know, the country's Intermittents du Spectacle -- or
freelance artists and technicians -- unhappy with government-approved
reductions in their unemployment benefits, organized and caused
the cancellation of most of the major festivals here, with little
grumbling from sympathetic festival directors. (Here, a performing
artist or technician can work for multiple companies, then use those
cumulative hours to qualify for unemployment.)
Pouring oil on the fire
was a surprisingly unsympathetic minister of culture, former Pompidou
Centre president Jean-Jacques Aillagon. Among other things, as Le
Monde reminded in a special investigation published yesterday, Aillagon
said that the weeding of the rolls which would result from the toughening
of unemployment qualification requirements was a good thing because
there were too many companies and too many artists anyway, who produce
at times mediocre productions. As well, as Le Monde pointed out,
neither Aillagon nor anyone else in the government fully realized
the impact the new regime, scheduled to take effect this January,
would have on artists' lives -- nor their potential to wreak havoc
in defense of their metiers. Besides reducing the amount
of time in which artists needed to chalk up the qualifying 507 hours
from 12 to 10 or 10 1/2 months over a year and the amount of benefits
that resulted from one year's to eight months, the new regime also
eliminated benefits for pregnant artists, causing one actress to
deadpan, "In effect, they don't want artists to reproduce."
The reduction to Intermittents'
benefits was just one aspect of sweeping government cutbacks in
social welfare as it struggles to meet European Union requirements
that it balance its budget, or come close to it; the Intermittents
haven't been the only affected group taking their wrath to the streets.
On Sunday, in regional
(or the US equivalent of state) elections, the French public sent
a profound message to President Jacques Chirac's ruling right-wing
government, electing Left coalition candidates to the presidencies
and legislative majorities in 20 of France's 22 regions; only they
Alsace and Corsica went Right.
The vote was widely
seen as a rejection of social welfare 'reforms' Chirac and his prime
minister, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, have been trying to push through
for two years. And yet, in a move prompting further indignation,
Chirac decided to retain Raffarin and Raffarin, in turn, most of
his government, simply switching some portfolios in a move the French
press has called "musical chairs" or "abracadabra." The EXCEPTIONS,
however, were the forced departures of an unpopular education minister,
the health minister whose agency's lackluster response is partly
blamed by many for the thousands who died during last summer's heat
wave and culture minister Aillagon, whose exit is largely blamed
on the Intermittents crisis.
The tactile effects
of Aillagon's exit on the Intermittents' plight remain to be seen
-- despite suspending other reforms in a national speech last night,
Chirac has not revoked the new Intermittents regime as the artists
have demanded, but has simply called on the 'new' government to
open all lines of dialogue, as today's Liberation reported, a move
which should have been made more than a year ago. But that they
have been able to actually topple a government minister who essentially
opposed them is reason for France's freelance artists to be proud,
and a shining example for artists everywhere.

Newsletter 5 Really Winter 06 (Beep Beep)
Last month I told you I could see snow on the mountains outside my office window. This month I had to drive through it. I also have to get the frost off the windscreen before driving off in the morning. What happened to global warming…..i think everyone in NZ is freezing their butts off.
Beep Beep
There is a new member to the Hyperformance Hardware team. Please welcome BEM195, a '96 Jeep Cherokee "limited". BEM195 has very BIG boots to fill, because he has to take the job of old Val. Sandra and I have decided that it's time for Val to retire and lead a life of luxury. Val's been in daily use for many years now, travelling the country for racing and play. Now it's time for a tidy up and special occasion use only. As you can imagine it was a hard to find a vehicle to follow Val's foot steps. Of course a new Audi RS4, Chrysler 300c, AMG G-wagon or Maserati would have been nice, but that was a little out of our price range. The Jeep fits the bill, nicely. It will comfortably handle four mountain bikers, with gear, bikes and being a real 4x4 it will also get you to the top of the next shuttle run. Not that Val didn't try.
Trapped in the North Island
Another month, another road trip. Another trip back up to Auckland, not only was there another shipment of Santa Cruz's to distribute, there was my new nephew to visit, a going away do for Tony H and a Jeep to purchase. My "quick" trip took a little longer than planned. The list of "immaculate" Jeeps I went to see were not up to expectation, so more hunting was required. Any who, I found our dream Jeep, negotiated a price, serviced it and took it for it's first road trip.
Beep, Beep, Jeep, Jeep
Road Trip, Part One
First test, Auckland to Roto-Vegas. I have made this trip so often, that I can almost do it with my eyes closed. A quick visit to my friends at Bike Vegas and a ride in Redwoods covered my trip to Roto-Vegas nicely. Thanks to Geeza and Paula for looking after me while in Rotorua.
Road Trip, Part Two
The next part of the road trip was to Wellington. I did hear that was a little bit of snow on the desert road, but by the time I got there it was closed. Actually after seeing some pictures in the newspapers, the desert road looked like South Pole. A little bit of snow wasn't going to stop me. A detour via National Park, Raetihi and Wanganui helped me avoid the closed roads. But there was still a lot of snow. I saw this as a great opportunity to use the 4WD lever. I finally made it to Wellington and a close call too. They closed the roads shortly after I made it through. A quick visit to Burkes Cycles, a catch up with Caleb and Emma of Spoke magazine and my trip to Wellington was covered. Thanks to Caleb and Emma for looking after me while in Wellington.
Road Trip Part Three
The last leg of the trip was the easy part, Cross the Cook Strait, drive to Nelson. Weather conditions had been dubious, but the ferry crossing was surprisingly calm. A great test for the new staff car and it passed it with flying colours.
NZ No.1 Santa Cruz dealer
The question has been asked from some of my bigger dealers who is the "No1. Santa Cruz bike shop"? Usually I keep these things under my Santa Cruz cap, but in the spirit of the football world cup (competition), I'm pleased to announce that Bike Vegas (Rotorua) is now the No.1 Santa Cruz dealer in the Bay of Plenty. Hub Cycles (Christchurch) No1. in Canterbury and Planet Cycles (Auckland) is No.1 in Auckland and Northlnd. Talking about the Football world cup, if I was a betting man, I would have lost a lot of money so far.
Racing overseas
Annika Smail is finishing her overseas racing with a few more Swiss Cup races. Consistently finishing in the top 5 was the last update. Rob Smail has joined her for more Swiss adventures. Jenna Makgill won the DH IXS cup race in Germany, by seven seconds. Check out jennamakgill.blogspot.com for more info.
Lauren Campbell finished 25th at Mont Sainte-Anne and is now enjoying some riding time at Whistler before heading back to NZ. Good work team.
Rock N Roll
A quick plug for my sister's band, "Labretta Suede and the Motel Six. They did a live roof top gig on K'Rd in Auckland. Very Rock N Roll, for more info check out cheeseontoast.co.nz. Go Anna!
Mojo Baby.
The Ibis Mojo gets the "big thumbs up" in the July issue of MBA. For those of waiting to see this amazing bike, I'll have one in Rotorua for the world champs. Check out Ibiscycles.com for more info.

Marion Jermain Kelly killed in crash on I-95 SB at Palmetto Park Road
According to Florida Highway Patrol, 32-year-old Marion Jermain Kelly was killed Sunday just before 6 a.m. in a crash on I-95.
For an undetermined reason, Kelly's 2001 Lincoln Town Car was stopped facing westbound across the southbound lanes of I-95 at Palmetto Park Road.
23-year-old Pierre Ferry Cenatus was driving a 2009 Mercedes C300 southbound and struck the right side of the Town Car with the front of his vehicle.
Kelly was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three southbound lanes as well as the entrance ramp from westbound Palmetto Park Road were closed for the investigation.
All lanes are now reopened.

College Hockey:Clarkson's Gagnon wins Sarah Devens Award
Clarkson senior forward Vanessa Gagnon has been named the winner of the 2014 Sarah Devens Award, which also comes with a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship.
A joint award between ECAC Hockey and Hockey East, the award is presented annually to a player who "demonstrates leadership and commitment both on and off the ice."
In addition to winning the Devens Award, Gagnon also won ECAC Hockey's Mandi Schwartz Award as the top student-athlete in the conference and the best defensive forward honor.
A fourth-year graduate student at Clarkson, Gagnon finished her undergraduate degree in Innovation and Entrepreneurship during her junior year with a 3.95 GPA and is currently one of only two students to maintain a perfect 4.0 GPA in Clarkson's MBA program.
She is also pursuing an additional certification in environmental management.
Gagnon's off-ice accomplishments include partnering with faculty members to develop microfinance projects in Uganda where she will be visiting this May to roll out the screening and training support for the projects, induction into the highest of business school honor societies, ECAC Hockey all-academic teams, President's List and Dean's List, Golden Knights' Unsung Hero Award Winner, as well as becoming the first student-athlete in program history to earn CoSIDA All-Academic Teams and winner of the Elite 89.
The Elite 89, an award founded by the NCAA, recognizes "the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers."
The 2013 Devens Award winner was Yale forward Alyssa Zupon.

We found this. We couldn't believe it was real - that people would pay cash-money for it when they could instead spend it on food or something awesome. But it IS real, and people DO buy it. There are just some things we'll never understand... So we Doubtblush 'em.
Look, we love St. Patty's Day just as much as the next person. But maybe not so much as the person who purchases the St. Patricks Day Seat Sock ($10). It's garishly designed, serves no function as far as we can tell, and will ultimately just taunt you as you seek your porcelain bowl after a weekend of gluttony and binge drinking. We think we'll pass on this toilet seat sock!

Christians believe that jesus was the son of god, born of a virgin, who died for our sins and was resurrected after three day to ascend into heaven.
That part alone hits every single branch on the way down out of the superstition tree.

Well certainly there are all manner of things that I cannot rule out. We have yet to observe omnipotence or omniscience in nature. That doesn't mean that they don't exist. But that also means that we don't have good reasons to think that they do.
So if one were to suggest that we should accept those claims without observing them in nature, then they must remain supernatural constructs until such time that we can move them into the "natural" column.
And, obviously, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim in the mean time.

As per above, I'm still not seeing it.
Locomotion is rampant throughout the animal kingdom. Many species are capable of bi-pedal locomotion. There is a naturalistic explanation for why it is that you can walk, run, waltz, tango, break-dance, etc. Surely it is amazing in the same way that our opposable thumbs allow us to efficiently utilize tools. You are right to say there is nothing "unnatural" here.
But where is the rationale for omnipotence? Where do we see vestigial parts in the evolutionary chain of history? We don't. It's...supernatural. One "being" alone allegedly possesses this trait (depending on who you ask) and we have absolutely zero evidence that any of it is true.
You're saying that christians don't have to believe in the supernatural to be christians. My question is, how in the heck can you still call them christians if you take away all the christian doctrine? What is left?

evidence would be sufficient to prove God's existence.
Surely an omnipotent being would be able to do something to convince you, Mr. Dravis. Even my skepticism doesn't go that far.

And then look at the sort of thing which usually facilitates conversions later on in life. Spiritual crisis, loss of family members, despair at being a good person / over addictions, etc. These also do not involve examination of physical evidence. Kierkegaard is an interesting read on this subject, and I recommend his "The Sickness Unto Death."
I understand but these are all horrible reasons for belief. They are understandable reasons, but that doesn't excuse that they are horrible reasons.
As such, I direct you back to your own source:
"a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation"
Unless I'm missing something, christianity is superstition per your source and your argument above.

The statement "God exists" effectively turns into an attitude towards life and declaration of the way the believer will go about living. Interpreting it strictly as an empirical statement is to ignore the whole surroundings within which the belief was formed and given meaning.
Okay, and how is this not special pleading?

It also would mean that belief in Christianity does not require a position of ignorance, since knowledge of evidence does not come into play.

Per my arguments above, I maintain that you might be missing the point. The argument is not that superstition is a necessary component of christianity. The argument is that christianity is itself superstition. There is no duality to separate and contemplate individually.
Again, I am open to seeing arguments to the contrary, but in the mean time I maintain that if you attempt to remove the superstition from christianity you will find that there is nothing left after you are finished (you may have some nice stories promoting secular humanism, but that's it).
Thanks for the interesting discussion, Mr. Dravis.

Inaugural Joseph C. Fox Director Appointed
From left: Ian Shapiro, Joseph Fox, Julia Adams.
Julia Adams, Professor of Sociology and Professor in International and Area Studies, has been appointed by Ian Shapiro, Henry R. Luce Director at the MacMillan Center, to serve as the first Joseph C. Fox Director of the Fox International Fellowship. This appointment was made possible by a generous gift from Joseph Carrère Fox (Yale '38) that established a new fund in the Yale Endowment.
Professor Adams will provide academic leadership for the Fox International Fellowship, as well as high-level advisory support for the Fox Fellows, particularly those in residence at Yale each year, but also those from Yale students at the Fox partner universities.
Designed to enhance the education of future international leaders, the Fox International Fellowship is a direct two-way student exchange partnership between Yale University and 11 of the world's leading universities in Russia, England, Germany, China, Japan, France, India, Mexico, Turkey, Israel, and South Africa. It was established to identify and support talented individuals who will be future leaders in their respective fields and who, by virtue of those leadership positions, will contribute to decisions affecting global policies and international relations. The Fox International Fellowship is administered by the MacMillan Center.
The Fox International Fellowship utilizes international scholarly exchange as a medium through which promising young intellectuals can pursue academic research, immerse themselves in the local language and culture of another country, and develop lasting friendships with peers from other countries, with the goal of better understanding the people and institutions, thereby building a solid foundation from which to contribute to peaceful coexistence worldwide.
The Fox International Fellowship Program began in 1989 at Yale University. Its partners include Moscow State University, Sidney Sussex College at Cambridge University, the Free University of Berlin, Fudan University in Shanghai, the University of Tokyo, Institut d'etudes de Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po), Jawaharlal Nehru University, El Colegio de Mexico, Bogazici University, Tel Aviv University, University of Cape Town, and University of Sao Paolo.
Fox Fellows at Yale University
Our luminous world among stars does appear
As a perfectly rounded, beautiful sphere
And yet for all its appearance fair
Are gaps so deep they're beyond compare.
We're divided by language, culture and creed,
Leaving the world in urgent need.
And though it's drawn closer, as we can see,
The goal of One World remains to be.
There are ways to bridge these yawning gaps
Through education across the world's maps.
Thus Yale, a great leader in foreign relations,
Is strengthening bonds between many nations,
All the while sponsoring student exchanges
With key universities across the world's ranges.
Among its activities which merit attention,
The Fox Fellowship deserves special mention.
Its Fellows have that leadership potential
Which in serving the world is so essential,
While their response to the program is highly laudatory,
"The experience of a lifetime" an oft-heard story.
It appears the program will become
A source of leaders for years to come,
While out in the world they continue to strive,
May the spirit of fellowship stay alive.
O let us hope that always they
Will make One World their goal to stay,
And may they ever recall, with never a fail,
These wondrous days as Fox Fellows at Yale.
Written by Joseph Carrère Fox /Alison Barbour Fox upon the appointment of the inaugural Director, and a new phase in the Fox International Fellowship (January 2010)

Home to Positive Atheism
Go to Previous || Next || Notes
On July 4, I suffered a monumental loss, perhaps the most devastating to me in the past ten years. I'll eventually recover from the grief, but right now it's still as fresh as the day it happened. The disjointed thinking impairs my ability to function and especially to do creative work, such as producing the Critical Thinker.
Fortunately, I had completed much of the work by the 3rd, and had only to tie together a few loose ends and to write this column. I do not seek sympathy, only an opportunity to explain.
This said, I shall try something different and use this space to explain the contents of this issue. I suspect some readers will be taken aback by this month's features.
Last month, I picked up some books that had been on my list, including Gerd Lüdemann's "The Unholy in Holy Scripture: The Dark Side of the Bible." I knew this would be a hard-hitting criticism of the Bible, particularly its ethical and moral stands, but the surprise came when I saw that the book was written by a Christian who wishes to remain Christian.
I brought the book to a Tuesday night meeting of United States Atheists, and someone pointed out that a similar book, "Why Christianity Must Change or Die" by Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong, had been prominently featured in the previous day's "Oregonian." Lanny read sections of the review to us and we all wondered why this prominent church leader has not abandoned his faith and become an Atheist.
With Lüdemann's book under my belt, I bought a copy of Spong's book the next day. In it, Bishop Spong pronounces the death of theism, but his position is not easy to grasp. The "Oregonian" piece did not do the book justice at all. At all.
Spong and Lüdemann reject all known bases for Christian faith. Lüdemann goes so far as to say that "Jesus decayed and did not rise bodily." So whence cometh faith? Still, they refuse to become Atheists.*
Spong said: "I ... still could not dismiss what seemed to me to be an experience of something other, transcendent, and beyond all of my limits that I knew I had to find another God language. Theism was no more."
Unlike many, though, Spong says he is perfectly willing to reject the "God" idea altogether if he finds no way to behold what he seeks: "If there is no other possible understanding of God, then surely God has died."
I must respect the sincerity of these potential allies. I offer their informative and compelling words as food for thought.

The Sun BabelFish Blog Don't panic ! https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/feed/entries/atom 2010-02-04T17:44:16+00:00 Apache Roller https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/technorati_needs_owl_sameas Technorati needs owl:sameAs bblfish 2006-09-08T03:45:02+00:00 2006-09-11T12:17:06+00:00
There are two urls to access this blog. As a result Techorati, which just is a feed aggregator search engine, thinks there are two blogs:

http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/bblfish/
http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/

 These two urls point in fact to the same blog, that have the same atom feed, yet the technorati listings for its two blogs are usually out of sync (blogs.sun.com/bblfish has not been updated for 115 days), and the link count of one and the other do not match up. Really they need some functionality so that one can claim that they are both owl:sameAs each other.

And also less annoying advertising!
 https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/atom_1_0_an_ietf Atom 1.0 is an IETF standard bblfish 2005-08-18T10:00:47+00:00 2005-08-28T16:22:02+00:00

 The Atom Syndication format is now a proposed IETF standard, which means that it is a first class IETF citizen. An html version as well as links to the developing Atom protocol are available on the atompub.org web site.
 I am really happy to be listed among the contributors, and I think Atom is a great improvement over RSS2.0. I am not yet sure how much of an improvement it is over RSS1.0, as I don't know the RSS1.0 standard in enough detail to be able to comment. The main advantage that RSS1.0 still has over Atom is that, being built on RDF, it has a very clear and solid extensibility framework. (That RSS1.0 needed some improvement is in part visible by the fact that an RSS1.1 draft spec has been delivered recently) Atom could have become clearly and unequivocally a better standard than RSS1.0 had it been possible to tweak it just a little bit to make it RDF compatible. The case for the extensibility advantages of RDF were very clearly made by Dan Brickley in an email to the atom mailing list a year ago, on the 18 August 2004. But as the rest of the thread shows some people found it very difficult to understand this point. There is clearly a lot of learning by experience the hard way that is going to take place before Dan's points are well understood and assimilated.

 What Atom has now clearly achieved though is to add clarity to every other aspect of syndication. Work on the RDF side of things is continuing on on the atom-owl mailing list which will hopefully help provide a standard ontology for the atom format.

 And by the way, BlogEd (when publishing to a simple web server using ftp such as my personal blog), now publishes an Atom 1.0 feed.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/bloged_0_7rc3_is_out BlogEd 0.7rc3 is out bblfish 2005-08-08T08:59:18+00:00 2005-08-28T16:21:58+00:00 Before going on my cycle tour I quietly released a new version of BlogEd. The time zone problem has been fixed, so that one can now post to roller from all over the world. A few other bug fixes, but otherwise not much. There should be more fixes later in September when various groups come back from holidays. https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/a_post_in_honolulu_time A post in Honolulu Time Zone bblfish 2005-07-02T03:54:02+00:00 2005-08-28T16:21:47+00:00

 I am sending this post from France (UTC/GMT +2hours). It was created at 12:54 pm (local time) on Saturday. I have set my new CVS version of BlogEd to think that the server interprets dates as being in the Pacific/Honolulu Time Zone, (UTC/GMT +10hours) where it was 0:54 am. In fact the server believes it is in the "America/Los Angeles" Time Zone where it was 3:54 am (no idea where it really is btw). As a result this post should appear to have been created 3 hours earlier than it in fact was! Let's test this.
 Indeed it worked. Roller gave this post the following date ( Jul 02 2005, 12:54:02 AM PDT ).

 (This will change in the future, as I will be wanting to move the time zone of BlogEd to correctly be the Pacific/Los Angeles time zone)
 PS. I am starting to think that the xmlrpc protocol was invented by someone who only used a PC and did not understand much about the network.

 PPS. What is going to happen if multiple servers get deployed in different Time Zones for fail over capabilities, all hiding behind the same url? Ouch!

 PPPS. I just noticed that one can set the time zone in Roller in which one would like the dates to appear [Website Tab - User link]. I have just changed it to Paris time (CEST), as this will make it clearer to my readers what time of day it was when I wrote my entry. As a result my posts now appear dated as ( Jul 02 2005, 09:54:02 AM CEST ) which is indeed still 3 hours ahead of time.

 PPPPS. I have now changed BlogEd to generate times in US Pacific time, and now the time stamp for my entry appears correctly as ( Jul 02 2005, 12:54:02 PM CEST ). So changing the time zone displayed does not yet change Rollers interpretation of the time I am sending to it. I still need to know what time zone the server thinks it is in.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/time_zones_and_xml_rpc Time Zones and XML-RPC bblfish 2005-06-30T11:46:38+00:00 2005-09-16T12:21:24+00:00
 I have had to hack the Apache xmlrpc library to add support for specifying the TimeZone of the remote server. I'll post the patch there as soon as I am happy with it.

 I have to say though that I am very surprised that code that has been out there for such a long time has not had such a patch applied to it yet. Of course that something so hyped as XML-RPC has such a fundamental deficiency - that it forces dates to be sent without the time zone information - is itself mind boggling. How could anyone invent a protocol for remote communication and screw up dates so badly? Essentially this means that unless you know what time zone the server is in or you live in the same time zone as the server, all dates exchanges are meaningless. To illustrate: imagine you are speaking to someone on the phone and ask them what time it is. They tell you "8 o'clock". If you don't know where they are in the world that answer will simply be meaningless. Well that is what xml-rpc forces one to do! Would it have been difficult to add time zone information? Not at all. 4 characters more in an xml file.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/bloged_0_7rc2 BlogEd 0.7rc2 is out! bblfish 2005-06-24T11:53:03+00:00 2005-09-16T12:21:20+00:00

 Release Candidate 2 of BlogEd 0.7 is out!

 For more information on how to obtain it, see the  BlogEd site. You can publish to Roller by using the properties described in  an earlier post on this blog.
 There are many improvements since the last release.

 James Gosling has added some very helpful options to enable the author to tune the appearance of the blogs on the Roller site. In the Preferences menu, one can now choose to have the illustration appear on the right or the left of the post, or keep it as previously inside a table.

 For MetaWeblog enabled servers that don't allow the client to specify the creation date of the post, one can ask BlogEd to add this date at the end of each post. This will help readers understand the sequence of the post and keep the chronology consistent. The Roller on blogs.sun.com and on Sun's internal blog have just been updated to understand the non standard pubDate field both for new entries and entry updates.

 James Gosling also added a button in the preferences menu to allow one to republish the whole blog. This is important if you decide to make a change to the display of your posts. Use with care. If it take a lot too long to update your blog, this may be the reason of your problem

 Many bug fixes that were pointed out since the last release

 One nice feature that falls out of the redesign of BlogEd is that it is possible to publish your Blog in two different places at once, as illustrated by original and the new Roller version of James Gosling's "On the Java Road..." blog.
 Try it out!

 Mmh. Is there a time delay between the publishing of a new entry and its appearance on the Roller site? Indeed there is: xmlrpc on which the MetaWeblog API is founded does not specify the time zones when sending dates across the internet! So if you are using BlogEd to send posts to an instance of Roller, make sure you are in the same time zone or to the West of the server you are sending posts to (until we find a way to fix this problem).
 https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/final_beta_of_bloged_0 final beta of BlogEd 0.7 ? bblfish 2005-05-29T21:09:04+00:00 2005-09-16T12:21:08+00:00  I have now released what I hope to be the final beta of what I was thinking of calling BlogEd 0.7. It is at the same location as the initial release. Don't forget to clear your jnlp cache before testing it.
 Improvements:

 supports categories now

 fixes bugs pointed out to me in the previous release

 properties panel now tests the xml-rpc connection

 all the remote entries are downloaded in one go on first setup

 clean up html before sending and receiving it

 I think this is quite usable now. I may have encountered a major annoyance with the kafenio html editor component. It seems to freeze when some non ascii characters are typed in. I don't yet know how deep this problem is. Hopefully I will be able to work out the cause with the Kafenio team.
 Aside from that unknown this should be good enough for 0.7. I will try to implement the following features before the release:

 an About panel that thanks all the open source software teams who have developed libraries on which BlogEd relies

 spelling mistakes and other UI nits that can easily be fixed

 better support for working with proxies

 secure https connections?

 Ah, well... The more I think about what to add, the more come to mind... Best if you let me know what you think https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/my_first_category_post My first category post bblfish 2005-05-27T16:22:06+00:00 2005-09-16T12:21:10+00:00

 This should end up in the BlogEd category. I posted this with BlogEd. And it seems to work correctly! Cool. I was even able to move a post to one category and then back. https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/new_beta_of_bloged new beta of bloged bblfish 2005-05-23T18:43:54+00:00 2005-09-16T12:21:11+00:00 I have just placed a new beta of bloged in the same location as the previous beta release. This is an intermediary beta release. There are a lot of improvements in the code, not all of them visible to the end user.

 There was a lot of work in the look and feel side of things. Not all of it is quite finished, but it should give an idea of where things are moving to.

 The infinite progress panel is in

 setting the properties is much more userfriendly, though there are a few things that still can be done

 error in xml-rpc comunication are much clearer

 the general UI is cleaner. Is this better? I have lots of ideas on improving things a lot more, but there is just one of me...

 the user is notified that editing the blog header is not helpful in the MetaWeblog api publishing side of things

 Some things I did not get to put in, but which I will be working on in the next week: I'd be glad to hear of any intial thoughts, keeping in mind that there are some things that still need to be done. Are people happy with the general direction this is evolving in?

 categories functionality

 improving the properties panel, so that the user can choose to download all remote entries when setting up his connection. Also I want to do a real xml-rpc test.

 fix some of the smaller unclarities of language people pointed out in the previous review

 speed up of initial synchronisation

 You may need to clear your jnlp cache to get it to download the new version. Is there a way to make sure it picks up on new versions?

 Note: before you start testing this version you should delete (or displace) your old xxxx.blog directory that you created previously. This will give you a fresh start.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/working_around_metaweblog_xml_rpc Working around MetaWeblog xml-rpc vagueness bblfish 2005-05-23T15:35:03+00:00 2005-09-16T12:21:13+00:00 The MetaWeblog API is an xml-rpc communication mechanism which I am using to post these messages from BlogEd. It is a little like Java Remote Method invocation, except that it uses xml to serialise the object states. Xml-rpc is allready very vague and imprecise, but the MetaWeblog API does not help. There are for example no agreed upon error messages as there are in HTTP. So that it is not possible to tell with certainty if an error message to a request to update a remote blog entry is telling you that

 the password used to log in is wrong

 the remote entry no longer exists

 the remote entry never existed

 some other error in the communication occurred

 There is a little bit of explanatory text that will help the end user if he speaks the preferred language of the server author. In order to help BlogEd users understand the predicament I am in as a programmer I have given them all the information they need to make up their mind. Where it makes sense to give the user a choice, I pop up a dialog where they can inspect the xml-rpc messages themselves.

 This makes me feel less lonely. In any case the user will probably know that he deleted an entry using the web interface a few days before.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/some_ui_changes_in_the some UI changes in the pipeline bblfish 2005-05-16T02:17:59+00:00 2005-09-16T12:21:16+00:00  I have been working during the past week on incorporating some of the suggestions I received from my friendly beta testers. Some of this has required me to do a lot more work with Swing than I ever did before, so the learning curve has been a little steep, but I think I am really getting the hang of it now, though there is clearly still a huge amount out there :-)

 One element I am hoping to make a little clearer is that the first entry in BlogEd is the title entry. I am doing this by placing information about the entry into the left hand pane. Also since the title entry cannot be published using the MetaWeblog API I have added a little glass pane with a message to indicate this.
 The categories combo box would only be visible for MetaWeblog API users at first. This still needs to be implemented.

 The look is a lot better I think already. Even though it may not seem like a huge change, when one is learning to Swing, getting a few small things right can be quite tricky. What is nice though is to see how mature the framework now is. So at least I don't have to worry as I did in Java1.0 days about whether its a knowledge or a framework problem. Now I know that it's just my problem. The documentation for Swing is also really good now.

 And the more I play with this the more ideas I am having...

 Oh. I have not yet put the above in CVS... I hope to have a new beta this week.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/bblfish/entry/bloged_beta_release BlogEd Beta release bblfish 2005-05-03T00:05:40+00:00 2005-09-16T12:21:18+00:00
 This is my first BlogEd entry on my external Sun Blog.

 I am playing with a new beta release that I have just made availabe

 as a simple to install jnlp file

 as a low tech jar file

 and a specially tailored OSX tar file

 To get this to work with this version of Roller you need to open up the "Edit > Blog Properties" menu and choose the blog info pane and set the "MetaWeblog API" publication method. Here are the fields I set in the Blog Properties pane:

  Property 	 Value

  service url 	 http://blogs.sun.com/roller/xmlrpc

  blog id 	 bblfish

  user id 	 bblfish (same as above)

  password 	 won't tell

 When you next publish an entry it will first download as many remote entries as Roller will allow, and then publish the new ones you have written. As you should see, BlogEd allows one to add a little picture next to your text to illustrate your post.

 This is still a beta release, and prone to change. But it is stabilising quite well.

 One thing we still need to work on is some way of securing the xml-rpc communication between the client and the server.

by mistake, i executed some applications that used all memory (and i think swap) on my ubuntu server and its now crashed, SSH doesn't work and freezes. Do you know any other options other than following solutions:
- physically restart the server.
- wait until a process ends.
is there any way to remotely restart the server when ssh not working? i can still ping the server, so wondering if any reserved memory is there for killing unfriendly processes or for basic commands such as restarting the Os.
*The commands executed with "nohup" so they didn't end by closing ssh sessions.

_____ I am able to do things as well as most other people.
_____ I feel I do not have much to proud of.
_____ I take a positive attitude towards myself.
_____ On the whole, I am satisfied with myself.
_____ I wish I could have more respect for myself.
_____ I certainly feel useless at times.
_____ At times I think I am no good at all.
Your score on the Rosenberg self-esteem scale is...
Scores are calculated as follows :

PARK CITY, Utah — A year ago, Langely McNeal was in the midst of a switch to the corporate world, working 80 hours a week for a Groupon-like startup company in Seattle.
As recently as December, John Teller had traded in the skis for a wrench, working at his uncle's California auto-repair shop, changing oil, fixing transmissions and replacing timing belts.
This week, both Americans are back on the snow and in the spotlight when skicross makes another splash in the U.S.
They'll be competing this weekend in the FIS-sanctioned Grand Prix at Park City's Canyons Resort, with the accompanying snowboardcross event doubling as the U.S. Championship for top competitors such as Nate Holland, Nick Baumgartner and Jonathan Cheever.
For Teller and McNeal, the goal is both redemption and awareness for a sport they are trying to grow in popularity and in funding.
Teller, who in January 2011 became the first American to win a World Cup skicross event, wiped out in his semifinal heat at last month's Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo., and failed in his bid to repeat as champion.
McNeal hit an even bigger dip. After seemingly advancing to the X Games women's skicross finals, she was disqualified because of a clothing violation.
"It was my first X Games finals and I was so excited to cross the finish line ... I was jumping on the back of a snowmobile to go back to the top when I got tapped on the shoulder," she said.
Told that another skier was protesting her outfit, McNeal started laughing.
"I'm like, 'My mom's (bell-bottom) ski pants?' What?"
It wasn't the bell bottoms. Nor was it the band she wore on her thigh as a tribute to freestyle pioneer Sarah Burke, who died Jan. 19 of injuries suffered in a fall in Park City Mountain Resort's superpipe.
Tiny hair bands strapped around each pant cuff were deemed an aerodynamic advantage.
News of McNeal's disqualification lit up the Internet like Shaun White's perfect 100 in the halfpipe.
Now, with Olympians Lindsey Jacobellis and Callan Chythlook-Sifsof both unable to compete in snowboardcross this week because of injury, more attention will be on McNeal and skicross.
"There's also more pressure just because of what happened at the X Games," said McNeal, who is using the disqualification as a lesson. "There are a lot of eyes on you after things like that, and you want to put on a good race for family and friends."
She also has to prove the would-be trip to the finals wasn't a fluke.
"Absolutely, yes," said McNeal, who turned 28 during the X Games but really hasn't celebrated yet. "There's always that."
The one positive she took from the X Games was support offered by the International Snowboard Training Center based at Copper Mountain in Colorado, where the Idaho native will soon move.
Because the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association offers very limited funding for skicross, McNeal has had to work her way out of retirement without much coaching or even a wax technician. She's excited to have support again.
Teller, the 2011 X Games champ, is simply excited to have a major skicross event back in the U.S.
"There isn't anything besides X Games for skicross," he said. "We need interest. It comes from the bottom, from sponsors all the way up to new athletes. So it's very cool having this here. It makes it easy for a lot of local people to come out and enjoy it and get a taste of what we do."

College Hockey:Niskanen Lifts Bulldogs Past Huskies
DULUTH, Minn. — Looking to build on a third-place finish at the Ohio Hockey Classic, the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs (6-13-3 overall, 3-10-2 WCHA) began the long road towards moving out of the WCHA cellar against the surprising Michigan Tech Huskies (8-11-2 overall, 5-8-2 WCHA) on Friday night. The Bulldogs needed 1:50 of extra time, but got the job done, winning 2-1.
Sophomore defenseman Matt Niskanen gave the 3,839 Bulldog faithful an opportunity to cheer for their sixth win of the season with a monumental blast from the blue line at the 1:50 mark of overtime for his first career game-winning goal.
Niskanen's seventh of the year was set up by sophomore defenseman Jay Cascalenda, who received the puck off a faceoff won by freshman center Jordan Fulton.
"We talk about how important faceoffs are," said Bulldogs head coach Scott Sandelin. "You couldn't draw that play up any better."
"Jordan did a good job winning the draw clean and my partner moved it over to me quickly," said Niskanen. "I just tried to get it to the net, and fortunately it bounced our way."
The opening period was fairly even, with the Huskies outchancing the Bulldogs 8-5, but neither team found the back of the net. Senior goaltender Josh Johnson, starting his second straight Friday game, came up big on all three first-period power plays MTU had, as the Huskies continued to struggle to jumpstart their nation's-worst man-advantage.
"I thought at the GLI we took a good step forward with our power play," said Huskies head coach Jamie Russell. "Duluth's penalty kill was very aggressive, and we weren't very crisp on the advantage."
Bulldog sophomore forward Mason Raymond had a golden opportunity midway through the period, but sophomore goaltender Rob Nolan was equal to the task.
Bryan McGregor, a senior forward, got the Bulldogs on the board with a shorthanded goal 9:24 into the second period. Niskanen forced a turnover just over the Bulldog blue line and fed Raymond, who skated the puck to the Huskies' blue line and fed a streaking McGregor, who redirected the puck past Nolan.
The goal was McGregor's fifth of the campaign.
The line of juniors Peter Rouleau and Tyler Shelast and sophomore Malcolm Gwilliam finally gave the Huskies some spark with a couple of well-played shifts late in the second period. The Huskies responded to their teammates' strong play by working harder, and that paid off as Gwilliam evened the game with just 38.9 seconds left in the period.
His backhanded shot hit a Bulldog defender in front of Johnson, and ricocheted into the back of the net. The goal was his fifth of the season.
"Coming off that major injury, it's finally coming around for me now," said Gwilliam. "It's nice to contribute regularly here."
The third period was dominated by the Huskies. Johnson stood his ground, however, making seven tough stops. The Huskies sustained pressure on their sixth power play of the night, and both senior Tyler Skworchinski and Gwilliam had chances to break the tie.
"We didn't move our feet very well in the third (period)," said Sandelin. "We were able to weather the storm, however."
Johnson would have come up even bigger with just over three minutes left as junior forward Jimmy Kerr launched a one-timer from the slot off a pass from Skworchinski, but Johnson came up with the save of the game on the stop.
"Josh has worked very hard for us despite the fact that he hasn't played very much," said Sandelin.
With the win, Johnson is now 2-2-0 in five games this season. Nolan drops to 5-6-1 overall with the loss.
Both the Bulldogs and the Huskies struggled on the man advantage with the Bulldogs finishing zero-for-five while the Huskies went zero-for-six.
With the two points, the Bulldogs move within two points of Minnesota State and ninth in the WCHA.
The Huskies power play is now 8 for 115, good for 7% for the season.
The teams meet again Saturday, as the Bulldogs look for their first sweep of the Huskies at home since 2004.
