WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) - Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce is
ready to go for Game 2 of the NBA finals against the Los Angeles
Pierce took part in Sunday morning's shootaround at the team's
practice facility and showed no ill-effects of the right knee
sprain that sent him to the locker room in a wheelchair during Game
Pierce was wearing a white sleeve over his knee as he played
pickup with Sam Cassell at the end of practice. Coach Doc Rivers
says Pierce will be fine.
The news isn't so certain on center Kendrick Perkins. He sat out
the shootaround and will be a game-time decision for Game 2 because
of a high ankle sprain.

Product Description
The problem of evil is one of the greatest challenges to the Christian faith made by skeptics today. Even for devoted followers of Christ, there is no greater test of faith than questions like, "If God really is all-powerful and loving, then why am I suffering this way." These six sessions by authors John Ankerberg and Dillon Burroughs will help you discover what God's Word has to share on this vital issue with relevant commentary and probing discussion questions.
The Contenders series is purposely designed to give truth seekers an opportunity to ask questions and probe into the basics of Christianity within the friendly, caring environment of small group discussion. The questions are presented to represent the viewpoints of both the Christian and the skeptic. Those who already follow Jesus will grow in the basic beliefs of the Christian faith and understand how to address the issues of their friends who are still exploring Christianity.
"Contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints" -Jude 3

SonjaAge: 55-65Gender: Female4 Stars Out Of 5Really needed for people today.May 10, 2012SonjaAge: 55-65Gender: FemaleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I am using this in two ladies Bible Studies and everyone feels it is answering their questions and meeting needs. It doesn't lead to as much discussion as I had hoped, but it offers a lot of good information from Scripture as well as experience. We are using the DVD which does not exactly parallel the study book. I found that DVD program 1 goes with the Intro., 2 goes with Session 1 in the book, 3 with Session 2, etc. and the last program on the DVD is much like the first one. There are 8 DVD programs and 6 study book sessions. It all works out in the end and I recommend using both. It is presented very clearly.

|Eagles | Rueben Randle leaves practice
Sat, 30 Jul 2016 09:27:56 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles WR Rueben Randle (cramps) left practice early Saturday, July 30, because he was dealing with cramps.
Fantasy Tip: Randle could miss a day or two because of the injury but should be find moving forward. He has a good chance to be No. 2 wide receiver for the Eagles this season and could be a late-round option in most fantasy leagues.

|Eagles | Rueben Randle the No. 2 receiver?
Sun, 10 Jul 2016 10:42:19 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles WR Rueben Randle is listed as the No. 2 wide receiver behind WR Jordan Matthews, with WR Nelson Agholor listed as the No. 3 receiver, according to NJ.com's Eliot Shorr-Parks.
Fantasy Tip: Agholor has had a tumultuous offseason on and off the field, so Randle being dubbed the No. 2 wide receiver here isn't shocking. If Agholor can get his act together he could definitely end up as the No. 2 receiver, though. For now, Agholor should be taken as a WR4, while Randle is best drafted as a WR5.

|Eagles | Sam Bradford working out with teammates
Wed, 06 Jul 2016 15:30:17 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles QB Sam Bradford is working out with several of his teammates in San Diego leading up to training camp. QBs Chase Daniel and Carson Wentz, RB Darren Sproles, WRs Jordan Matthews, Josh Huff, T.J. Graham and Rueben Randle and TE Zach Ertz are among the players participating in the workouts.
Fantasy Tip: Bradford is trying to build chemistry with his receivers so they can start the season off strong. Bradford should only be considered as a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues. Matthews and Ertz will be among the leaders in targets for the Eagles this season and likely will be selected in the middle rounds of drafts. Sproles should have a role in the running and passing game in 2016 and could be a late-round option who will have more value in point-per-reception leagues. Huff and Randle are only late-round options in deeper leagues.

|Eagles | Rueben Randle in lead for WR3
Tue, 14 Jun 2016 05:46:05 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles WR Rueben Randle is in the early lead for the Eagles' third receiver spot over WR Chris Givens and WR Josh Huff.
Fantasy Tip: Randle isn't a prototypical slot receiver, and Jordan Matthews figures to play the slot most of the time anyway. Randle is a possession guy that could play quite a bit on the outside. He's a WR4 with upside in fantasy. Givens and Huff are afterthoughts unless an injury occurs.

|Eagles | Chris Givens holding his own
Sun, 12 Jun 2016 11:58:46 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles WR Chris Givens has put in a solid offseason so far and could challenge WRs Josh Huff, Nelson Agholor and Rueben Randle for playing time, according to CSNPhilly's Dave Zangaro. Givens is known for his deep-threat ability, but Zangaro said Givens has also impressed with his underneath routes so far.
Fantasy Tip: Even with the good offseason he's having, Givens' playing time is not guaranteed. Even when he does play, he is mainly a deep threat. He should only be viewed as a late-round flier in standard leagues.

|Eagles | Rueben Randle making impact
Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:11:50 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles WR Rueben Randle is getting a new start after a four-year stay with the New York Giants. The team felt Randle was a loafer and indifferent about football, running poor routes and being late for meetings. It led to benchings during his tenure, despite obvious talent. So far, so good in Philadelphia, as head coach Doug Pederson has liked what he has seen. "(Rueben) has really made an impact this spring," Pederson said. "He's a guy that's a big, tall, sort of a smooth receiver that understands what we're asking him to do."
Fantasy Tip: Randle could be a big-time sleeper, and he'll get a crack at the Giants twice per season to prove them wrong. With Jordan Matthews and Nelson Agholor ahead of him, Randle is likely to be slotted as the No. 3 receiver in Philly. He could have an impact from a fantasy perspective, but he'll need a nice training camp and preseason. Many look good with no pads in the spring.

|Eagles | Rueben Randle out a couple weeks
Wed, 25 May 2016 12:48:52 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles WR Rueben Randle (gallbladder) is fine, according to a source, but he is extremely sore and will be out two to three weeks while he recovers from having his gallbladder removed, according to a source.
Fantasy Tip: Randle has an opportunity to be the No. 2 wide receiver for the Eagles this year behind Jordan Matthews. Nelson Agholor will be right there, too, though. Randle will need to prove himself on a new team and in a new offense. He's worth a look as a low-end WR4 or WR5.

|Eagles | Rueben Randle has surgery
Tue, 24 May 2016 07:47:03 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles WR Rueben Randle (gallbladder) is out of practice Tuesday, May 24, due to a recent gallbladder surgery.
Fantasy Tip: It's unknown how serious the procedure was or how long he's slated to miss. Randle is a WR4 consideration at full strength, but check back for updates.

|Eagles | Rueben Randle terms
Wed, 06 Apr 2016 06:47:38 -0700
Updating previous reports, Philadelphia Eagles WR Rueben Randle's one-year deal is worth $1.025 million with $500,000 of his $1 million salary guaranteed. He can earn up to $2 million in incentives and has a $25,000 workout bonus.
Fantasy Tip: Randle could jump up to the second receiver spot opposite of Jordan Matthews, but he doesn't figure to have as much upside in the Eagles' offense as he did with the New York Giants last season. Randle is in the WR4 range in fantasy.

|Eagles | Rueben Randle wants to start
Fri, 01 Apr 2016 14:18:25 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles WR Rueben Randle is confident that he'll start in his first season with the Eagles this year. Randle said he's familiar with Philadelphia after playing against them for several years and he's excited to showcase his opportunities.
Fantasy Tip: Randle does have a good opportunity to start in a relatively shallow wide receiver corps. Jordan Matthews remains the No. 1 receiving option for the Eagles, and we still don't know how the pieces will fall into place on offense. Don't view Randle as more than a low-end WR4 to high-end WR5 for now.

When I click to open notepad or microsoft word or other executable program, they are all opening MicroSoft SharePoint instead with a blank page except for a strange looking symbol on the page. I uninstalled MicroSoft SharePoint and now my programs are opening normally. How can I run MicroSoft SharePoint without it doing this (and why is this happening)? I've uninstalled MS SharePoint and then reinstalled it and the same problem occurs. Thanks!
It's hard to tell what might be going on based on your description. It sounds like you must have installed SharePoint on your local machine (as opposed to a server). If you're doing that and are having this issue, then I'd wonder why you are installing SharePoint in the first place.

Taking Off—via Seaplane—to the Hamptons
In December, at Art Basel, the hotelier Andre Balazs took us on a boat ride around the intercoastal of Miami. This wasn't just any aquatic vessel: this was a sleek, €1 million Aquariva as redesigned by Marc Newson that was parked, for a few days on the dock of Mr. Balazs's Standard Hotel. "It's kind of a new toy," Mr. Balazs said at the time.
Now, Mr. Balazs has a newer toy. He is part owner of a seaplane, an eight-passenger Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian aircraft that has been refurbished and painted bright red, the color that has become synonymous with his hotel chain. StndAir looks like an adorable figment of Snoopy's imagination. It operates off the pier at 23rd Street and the East River.
The plane can travel within a 300-mile area of New York, and it can be chartered to go to places like Martha's Vineyard ($4,875), Provincetown ($5,575) or Montauk ($3,275). Through the summer, it will make regularly scheduled stops in East Hampton for $495, and Shelter Island for $595. There is also something slightly confusing called an online Flight Board where individuals can book tickets for off-peak flights for as low as $30 a seat. Small pets are welcome on the plane, luggage allowance is 20 pounds and no golf clubs are permitted.
An unofficial survey of movers and shakers over the weekend in the East End made it seem as if this service could become very popular. The general consensus was that this was all relatively affordable and efficient. (Flights take about 45 minutes.)
On Friday, Mr. Balazs, his daughter, Isabel, and a few of his friends including the artist Marco Brambilla and the gallerist Andrew Kreps met at the pier for one of StndAir's inaugural flights to Shelter Island. Mr. Balazs owns a small boutique hotel there called Sunset Beach and would be staying for the weekend.
Twenty minutes before takeoff, an employee of Mr. Balazs was waiting on the dock welcoming passengers. She had the manifest in hand and checked off a reporter—the first to arrive. "Would you like some water?" she said, grabbing a miniature bottle branded with StndAir's red logo on it from a basket. "While you wait, we also have suntan lotion and spray if you need to put some on."
Other guests showed up. "Nice plane, dude," Mr. Kreps, dressed in a suit, told Mr. Balazs, who was already in resort wear. "Who's got the snakes?"
Mr. Balazs said he started the project partly because "I just realized the convenience is extraordinary. As years go by, with traffic, getting out to the beach becomes more prohibitive. And in some cases, with the Flight Board, you can create a trip that's less than the price of a Jitney."
"I also just love seaplanes," Mr. Balazs added. "And you can take it so many more places than a helicopter. It's the only way to get directly to Shelter Island—you can't land a helicopter there."
There was a delay waiting for a passenger, and another seaplane had to unload. A man got off having just spent the morning riding horses in New Jersey. Then StndAir was ready for its journey: Guests hopped aboard.
Inside was plenty of room, and the niceties were especially, well, nice. Before take off, gummi Swedish fish—the color of the plane—were distributed through the cabin. So was a red thermos that read "Rosé."
"It's a little early for this, but does anyone want any?" Mr. Balazs asked. He declined, but a few of his guests partook, one of whom immediately spilled his glass as the plane got going on the water.
"He spilled his rosé! What a disastrous weekend already," Mr. Balazs said, jokingly.
We can't lie: Going up in the air at first, over New York City, in a small Cessna, was a tiny bit scary. "It's a part of New York you never get to see," Mr. Balazs said, pointing to the United Nations. "It's so spectacular. You can see all of lower Manhattan."
But as the plane got on its way, and the passengers started speaking to each other through their headsets, we soon realized: Flying to the Hamptons from the city is very much the way to go.
Pointing out the mansions below in Oyster Bay, Mr. Balazs explained that it has never been his goal to learn how to fly a plane himself. "I have no interest," he said. "It doesn't hold my attention, which is probably not a good thing for a pilot."
And in a blink, StndAir was in the water, pulling up to the beach at Shelter Island. There were dogs on the sand and a naked child waving. It felt very St.-Tropez.
"Roads are over," said Mr. Brambilla, as he stepped onto the shore.
"Right now, we'd just be leaving Queens," Mr. Balazs said.
As everyone gathered around a table for a light lunch—with more rosé, of course, of Mr. Balazs's own vintage—Mr. Kreps said he had jet lag.
"It's a killer that flight," he said. "I'm still in the New York time zone."

Charles! How dare!?
my word, how could they forget david geffen? surely no list of gay/jew conspirators is complete without that yalmulke wearing pole smoker. must be a work in progress.
#75? Better luck next year, Dan!
What the hell do I have to do to get on the list?
One thing that greatly bothers me about that list is that it's got a guy holding a sign that says "God Says Kill Fags" right above the list of the gay Jews that are destroying America. I wonder what they would suggest we do to create, say, a "final solution" to the gay Jewish "problem"?
Michigan Matt,
It brings me no end of happiness to note how much I like your comments. If something untoward should happen to me, I hope you will assume the New Jersey mantle as well.
Well joked, sir.

Man I tried to post a comment on how if we are all such evil people we sure do put Countries run by Islamic theocrats to shame and they deleted it. Fuckers.
I never really got how one could think there silly god is so great and all and yet would let his enemies prosper and his followers suffer. That goes for our Christian crazies too.

Credit Unions vs. Banks
The range of options for consumers seeking financial services has broadened significantly in recent years, with online-only banks, robo-advisors and crowdfunding taking most of the headlines.
But one of the oldest and most basic features of the landscape of banking institutions is often poorly understood, namely, the difference between credit unions and banks.
At-a-glance comparison
While the two kinds of institutions provide many similar consumer products and services, their delivery of those products and services can differ significantly.
Here's how credit unions and banks compare across a variety of criteria that you may find important:
On average, credit unions offer lower loan rates, higher interest rates and lower fees than banks do. Some online banks do better in these areas than either traditional banks or credit unions.
Credit unions tend to beat out the big banks, at least, on customer service. Between 2010 and 2015, credit unions have consistently ranked higher than banks in measurements by the American Customer Service Index. In some cases, though, banks may have better options, such as Twitter support and extended call-center hours.
Because many credit unions have small territories, it's easier to find banks with huge numbers of branches and ATMs across the U.S. However, many credit unions have compensated for this disadvantage by joining the CO-OP network of credit unions, which allows their members to access about 30,000 ATMs and 5,000 branches, in many cases with no fees.
Credit unions have a reputation for lagging in consumer technology, so those looking to use early or best-in-class versions of options such as online banking, mobile banking apps, Apple Pay and remote check deposit may be happier with banks.
The very biggest banks likely have more of their own (fee-free) ATMs abroad, while credit unions tend to have lower fees for international ATMs. A few online-only banks have no fees at all for international ATMs or debit transactions.
Both kinds of institutions are usually federally insured — banks by the FDIC and credit unions by the NCUA. The details of the insurance are functionally identical.
Credit unions often more directly affect their members' local communities, though some banks have large and respectable philanthropic wings.
Comparing any two institutions may of course reveal exceptions to these general patterns.
The biggest difference: What happens to profits
So what is a credit union, anyway? Although both kinds of financial institutions provide similar services to consumers, credit unions are nonprofits, while banks are for-profit organizations.
That single difference is the foundation for most of the others. When a company exists primarily to generate profit, its core operations are organized around maximizing that profit for return to its ownership.
A credit union, though, exists in principle to serve a community of people tied by a "bond of association," which may be based on geographical region, employer, membership to another association, faith or other factors.
Credit unions serve that community by providing financial services products for its members with the most favorable terms they can afford to offer. Instead of offering accounts to customers and large dividends to a small group of owners, as banks do, credit unions offer small dividends — and discounted loan rates, reduced fees and other benefits — to a large group of members. Credit union members are, in that sense, both customers and owners.
Making the choice
Now that you know the major differences between banks and credit unions, you may feel ready to look for your best option. Here's one path you can take:
- Identify your values: What matters to you the most in the institution you choose? Great rates? A modern technological experience? Top-notch customer service? Make a prioritized list of what you're looking for.
- Find your top contenders: You may already have a credit union in mind; if not, you might consider some of NerdWallet's favorites. We also have objective recommendations for banks of all kinds, including big national banks and online-only institutions. Finally, you can compare checking and savings accounts for yourself.
- Narrow the list: Which banks meet your top criteria? Among those, do some perform better in other areas that you could see yourself valuing in the future? Do any negative aspects change your mind about what matters to you?

text: We had a discussion about this the other day on #C&C and no one had any objections to me making this thread, so here it is. Something I've been noticing recently with C&C is that it is confusing. I think this is partially due to to the fact that there is no central location for discussing policies. There is an IRC channel (#C&C), but not everyone uses IRC and not everyone who uses IRC wants to be a part of the channel; there is a social group (Contributions & Corrections), but its membership misses out on some people who contribute to C&C and probably isn't checked too often except by a select few. 1. When everyone is up to date, everything gets done more efficiently. I think the topics in the social group are good examples of what would get discussed here: issues like using 4 HP instead of 6 HP and writers saying what kind of grammar checks they prefer. I think this is also the reason I always feel confused about what's going on and since I don't think I'm especially clueless, this is also probably the case for other users -- and having people being perpetually confused is never good! I really like CM's post about the system in Concise for exactly this reason. 2. The current system is unintentionally exclusionary. I guess I probably hinted at this above, but not everyone can be a part of #C&C or the social group. I think this is especially problematic in C&C given that most of the threads here are individual projects, if you will. Minor decisions that get made regarding these projects usually aren't ever "released" while at the same time, writers and proofreaders who are aware of them apply them in analyses while those who aren't kind of just wonder where the decisions are getting made. Pseudo-idealism aside, I don't see any practical roadblocks to this. The usual forum rules still apply, obviously, and there isn't really any reason the decisionmaking process should stay concealed until after the decisions are made since C&C *only* works because of the users, moreso than any other part of the site. Essentially, the idea is this: I don't see anything intrinsically wrong with discussions in social groups or IRC channels, but the problem is only when the decisions made don't get revealed until they are implemented (which usually doesn't come with an announcement unless the decision is an extremely major one). To promote more openness in the decisionmaking process, if something is discussed on IRC, we can post logs of what was talked about in a new thread in the main Contributions and Corrections forum; discussions can continue from there, and a final decision is made by "whoever is in charge" in the thread. For posterity here's the IRC log that prompted me to make this thread: http://pastebin.com/m2b77a675

This is a rather annoying problem I have with Linux on my laptop. Whenever I install any Linux distro that relies on grub (which is about 99 % apparently) it will mess up my DVD-drive and the drive will not be recognized after booting, no matter the OS (Ubunntu, Arch, Windows Vista or 7).
I know the problem has nothing to do the DVD-drive itself, because I bought a new one a few months ago. I am also sure that grub is messing the drive up, because I have tried to use LILO, which worked fine (except for horrible boot times.)
This problem have persisted through about 3-4 years and it is a pretty bad show stopper whenever I want to work with Linux. I had hoped it would get fixed over time, but no one seems to have the exact problem I have. The drive is connected with an IDE connection.
Update: The old drive was a Toshiba Samsung SN-S082. I don't know the model number of the new one, but it is HP (I think).
Things I have tried to fix it: Mess about with some BIOS settings like enabling AHCI and change some IDE settings. Installing a different boot loader DOES fix the problem but I would like to use grub.

- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
No, you cannot currently hide queries that you've ran, but better query organization tools are on the todo list that will hopefully address this and other concerns.
We keep track of all executed queries to monitor for abusive behaviour, so following any changes you'd only be able to at most "hide" them (similar to deleted posts here), but from the user perspective that should amount to the same thing.
Just to clarify, since people keep commenting about it – this is on the todo list, just be patient.
No, you cannot, but you can edit the name and description so as to no longer be meaningful (e.g. Name = "Delete me", Description = "select 1").

Right brain alert: Can teaching art to future scientists help save the planet?
A special Climate Progress report from Gainesville, Florida.
Robert Ponzio, art instructor and Chair of the Fine Arts Department at Oak Hall School took to the skies Sunday above Florida's Kennedy Space Center this weekend in a specially modified, G-FORCE ONE aircraft. Working in a near weightless environment traditionally reserved for astronaut training and scientific experimentation, Ponzio hopes to inspire students to pursue careers in science. He also aspires to forge a stronger, academic alliance between the traditional sciences and the creative arts.
You can follow Ponzio's adventure on the plane nicknamed the "vomit comet" at his blog, Hardcore Painting. For those CP readers who want to go weightless, it's about $5,000 a pop. Info here.
"Solving unprecedented problems of achieving energy independence, protecting the biosphere, and mitigating climate change will require visionary thinking, extraordinary innovation, and sometimes, breakthrough technologies. Focusing on traditional academic courses is essential, but not enough," Ponzio said, noting Daniel H. Pink's Wired Magazine article, "Revenge of the Right Brian."
Pink suggests that while the left-brain's logical, analytical talents measured by SATs and deployed by CPAs are still necessary, they are no longer sufficient. Pink writes,
[T]he abilities that matter most are now closer in spirit to the specialties of the right hemisphere – artistry, empathy, seeing the big picture, and pursuing the transcendent . . . to detect patterns and opportunities . . . and to come up with inventions the world didn't know it was missing."
Ponzio agrees, and adds, "The process of creating art requires students to engage observational skill which allows them to see beyond stereotypes, and recognize exactly what the eye sees, as they organize space and form. The Arts must play a vital role in raising the new generation of problem solving innovators that we desperately need."
I certainly agree, since logic alone is never going to motivate enough people to do what is necessary to save the health and well-being of future generations (see Why scientists aren't more persuasive, Part 1 and Why scientists aren't more persuasive, Part 2: Why deniers out-debate "smart talkers").
The G-FORCE ONE aircraft's parabolic flight path will allow Ponzio fifteen, 30-second periods of near Zero Gravity. Through his visual experiments, Ponzio hopes to expressively capture the moment while also creating images which inspire his students to recognize the fragility of the earth and understand the important role science has in protecting it. The first will be a Calligraphic Brush Painting inside a containment unit. A high-speed video camera will record the fluid dynamics of colored inks in Zero Gravity. The second experiment will be a free floating, expressive drawing using dry media on papers mounted to the walls of the aircraft. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me," says Ponzio, "and I hope to share with all art and science students, the excitement of creating work within the chaos of microgravity." Ponzio has involved his students by simulating the Zero Gravity flight by suspending them in the air hanging with inversion boots while creating art works. His popular web blog, http://hardcorepainting.blogspot.com/ chronicles his creative process and preparation for this extraordinary venture.
Ponzio applied for, and won a grant to participate in this microgravity program which is sponsored by NASA, The Stephen Hawking Microgravity Education and Research Center, Space Florida and The Zero Gravity Corporation. Space Florida, the new state agency charged with promoting Florida's space industry, and The Zero Gravity Corporation have created the Florida Microgravity Education and Research Center, to facilitate Florida teacher and student space education and aerospace microgravity research expertise. This is the last flight of its kind, as funding has been cut.

I would have thought that this big jet that goes up and down for the purpose of going up and down would find a lot less approval in this blog.
For now I'm not getting past this big jet as a huge symbol of gratuitous waste of the western world.
Theres an argument for art maybe, but I don't see it unless art means doing whatever you want including burning as much jet fuel as you like in the hope of inspiring others.
At some point I would think the definition of "denier" will go beyond what people say and include what they do. – like they say – actions speak louder than words.
denier talking point I suppose – but still – can't see past it at this point.
[JR: It is a pretty friggin' short flight! I'm not a total spoil-sport, at least not yet.]
The previous comment begs the question, and illustrates how everyone – not just scientists – could benefit from lessons in "perspective" drawing. Apparently, the expedition was funded by the Florida Microgravity Education and Research Center to facilitate Florida teacher and student space education and aerospace microgravity research expertise. The plane was going up anyway, full of teachers performing science experiments, creating a larger "economy of scale." Ponzio, the lone artist in the group, donated his considerable publicity to draw awareness to a much bigger issue – the realities of climate change, and the need for innovative and creative solutions to huge problems. What part of that "angle" is too obtuse for the commenter to "perceive" or to "see"?
This is one of those times where concise and accurate language
is more important than diplomatic euphemisms. To be blunt,
the "reasoning" used by both Pink and Ponzio is pure crap,
as is their "conclusion".
The angry tone of this comment is because I share their motivation.
But "friends" like Pink and Ponzio do more damage than enemies.
1. The "right vs. left" brain dichotomy is a less valid and less useful
oversimplification than the "male vs. female" brain dichotomy.
2. Don't confuse correlation with causation. Taking an art class
will not make you a "good artist" … or a "good human being".
And if, somehow, it boosts your empathy, and your ability to see the
big picture, that probably means you've led a distorted, specialized life.
The corporate market system *selects* for these distortions:
Constrained by narrow economic notions of "value", and by the
imperatives of "specialization of labor", modern culture has *evolved*
to produce distorted brain architectures.
The problem is not the "modern" brain's physical architecture, but its
failure to adequately *integrate* ANALYSIS, ETHICS, and EMOTIONS.
"Art" is not the solution. The solution is to resist and remedy
specialization by valuing *generalists*. That must occur in tandem
with de-emphasizing economic *ideology* as a viable foundation for
a human being's self-image, worldview, and culture.
I'm glad that funding for Ponzio has been cut. His *ETHICS* are
abhorrent. How much fuel will he burn for a few periods of
weightlessness, in which he hopes the Muse will "inspire" him?
And he "teaches art" to his students by having them hang upside down?!
[JR: Don't be silly. He'll burn virtually no fuel. It is a very short flight — and one that would have happened anyway.]
RECOMMENDATIONS: The methods below are far more useful,
cost-effective, and widely applicable:
1. Read something like Bruce Wexler's
"Brain and Culture: Neurobiology, Ideology, and Social Change".
2. Train the mind with drugs. Seriously — see, e.g, *Fox* News:
Were at the stage where only 'managed' depression (with fingers crossed that we can get pass all the nasties associated with one) is probably going to give us a chance. Things are way out of control…
even that bleak future, Anderson said, could only be achieved if rich countries adopted "draconian emission reductions within a decade". Only an unprecedented "planned economic recession" might be enough. The current financial woes would not come close.
Its all a bit scary…
Too late? Why scientists say we should expect the worst
At a high-level academic conference on global warming at Exeter University this summer, climate scientist Kevin Anderson stood before his expert audience and contemplated a strange feeling. He wanted to be wrong.
…current targets are hopelessly optimistic. Many scientists, politicians and campaigners privately admit that 2C is a lost cause. Ask for projections around the dinner table after a few bottles of wine and more vote for 650ppm than 450ppm as the more likely outcome.
Its all coming undone at the seams (mmm…). Hansen might have come up with 350 as a political goal to kick start serious action or it could be a real target in which case what can one say, but this article lays out the reality….
"The awful arithmetic means that exclusively focusing on a 450ppm outcome, at this moment, could end up providing another reason for not reaching an international agreement to reduce emissions.
Rick: "Theres an argument for art maybe, but I don't see it unless art means doing whatever you want including burning as much jet fuel as you like in the hope of inspiring others."
Zero Gravity Corporation is one of Peter Diamandis's efforts. Another is the X PRIZE Foundation, which is running the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE to encourage entrepreneurs (and interested major car companies like Tata Motors) to make marketable 100 MPGe cars. It's also trying to start other energy/environment competitions.
There's no doubt that flying an airplane for fun (a Zero-G ride for thrills, a vacation, etc) or for business (microgravity research, astronaut training, getting to business meetings, etc) is going to use fuel.
The same is true, on a bigger scale, for a suborbital ride (something Diamandis is also involved in). A lot of the business for that new market is expected to be essentially thrill rides. The capabilities that result (if they in fact do get deployed and thrive), I would argue, are going to be environmentally useful for deploying Earth monitoring remote sensing instruments (for immediate science, engineering tests of space-bound science instruments in space conditions, calibration of orbiting environment satellite instruments), sampling the upper atmosphere, launching very small orbiting environmental payloads, and perhaps in later generations eventually lowering space access costs so that more ambitious environment-friendly space applications can some day happen. There is also a widely-reported "overview effect" reported by astronauts when seeing the Earth from above where they often get more environmentally aware that could apply to suborbital rides, too. Yet, there is no getting around that suborbital thrill rides use fuel. I think it's well worth it, but it's hard to quantify and I can't prove all the benenfits I mention will actually happen. You also have to factor in the fact that you personally may not want to go on such a ride (I don't particularly), but it may be quite important to someone else.
Here's more about a different kind of Zero-G art, Jeanne and Spider Robinson's Stardance project:
Zero-G seems to be getting a foothold in NASA microgravity work:
It is mind-boggling that Crawford (above) would begrugde a fraction of the Zero G's carbon emission in a single flight populated by 34 science educators, and one art educator, in the service of scientific advancement and progressive thought.
Distilled to its essence, Rick Crawford's comment, "To be blunt, the 'reasoning' used by both Pink and Ponzio is pure crap, as is their 'conclusion,'" belies some extreme carbon "envy" and an eerie, perhaps reactionary, call to traditional concepts of western religion and morality (sound familiar?). The visceral comment ignores that for many individuals, brain hemispheric integration (which he would appear to champion as a "moral and ethical" integration) actually results from process (sometimes creative) in those that are otherwise neuro-architecturally predisposed (or trained) to function with a limited (albeit valuable) skill-set. (See generally http://www.amenclinics.com/brain-science/)
In fact, neither Pink nor Ponzio has asserted that art is a "solution." Rather, they suggest that engagement in the "creative process" can awaken certain capabilities traditionally ignored in the very highly specialized fields that Crawford abhors, thus contributing society's apprecation of the functional "generalist" that Crawford hopes to elevate.
Further READING shows that Ponzio blogged that "While learning specific artistic techniques (such as drawing), students are also taught a complex and unique set of thinking skills that are not routinely taught in other academic classes. The process of art making requires students to engage observational skills which allow them to see beyond stereotypes and recognize exactly what the eye sees as they organize space and form. Skills such as envisioning, inventing, experimenting, reflection, self-criticism, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes are not just valuable skills for future artists, but for all creative leaders in every discipline."
Apparently, Ponzio has taught many academically brilliant students (double 800 SAT, future scientists) who were formerly incapable of communicating complex concepts in a visual medium, such as a three dimensional diagram.
In the book, "A Whole New Mind," by Daniel H. Pink argues that our "Information Age" (an economy which has primarily valued the logical, sequential skills of left brain thinking), is now undergoing a seismic shift to what he calls the "Conceptual Age," (an economy built on creative, inventive, empathic, right brain skills). "Symphony…is the ability to put together the pieces. It is the capacity to synthesize rather than to analyze; to see relationships between seemingly unrelated fields; to detect broad patterns rather than to deliver specific answers; and to invent something new by combining elements nobody else thought to pair."— Daniel H. Pink, A Whole New Mind
Apparently, other thinkers agree:
"We need people with skills in critical thinking, analytical reasoning and problem solving. We need people who can communicate. We need to enhance the richness and diversity of the workforce, and we need people with the confidence to face the future." – Accenture Chairman and CEO William D. Green addressing the US Senate Finance Committee.
"To build a society that is innovative, prosperous, and truly democratic we need to teach next generations not just facts and skills, but how to learn, how to communicate, and how to think creatively, critically, independently."—Philip Yenawine, Co-Director, Visual Thinking Strategies
Tomorrow's Leaders: "Jobs in the new economy…put an enormous premium on creative and innovative skills, seeing patterns where other people see only chaos." – Marc Jacobs, National Center on Education and the Economy
"Art is Core: For all of history, art has been primary in teaching future generations about who they are. Now it can be used to teach thinking and language skills too." http://www.visualthinkingstrategies.org
"Because creativity is the driving force of economic growth, in terms of influence the Creative Class has become the dominant class in society. Only by understanding the rise of this new class and its values can we begin to understand the sweeping and seemingly disjointed changes in our society and begin to shape our future more intelligently."
-Richard Florida, "The Rise of the Creative Class"
Thanks you Rick Crawford for your thoughtful critique. While I obviously disagree with your sentiment of your reading of the event, there is one part of your comment that I take exception to…
"And he "teaches art" to his students by having them hang upside down?!"
Rick, you must try to keep this in mind:
They are kids! Most of my students, in fact, are high achievers academically. They have big plans and big dreams and pushed extremely hard through our advanced curriculum each day to perform. In many cases, my class might be that one period a day that challenges them in a different way.
My first mission is to help them realize the absolute fact that if you "Can't Draw", then you "Can't See". Drawing skill is not a gift from God or a magical power. There are some very simple formulas developed over human history that artists employ to translate exactly what the eye sees onto a two dimensional surface. In fact, it is very mathematical, very logical.
Case in point: I had a student last year… brilliant kid in math, science. etc., (now attending a prestigious Ivy League school). He put off taking his fine art requirement until the last semester of his senior year, figuring he did not need to waste his precious time with this lightweight crap. He simply was too busy learning the "real" subjects. He came in to class clearly with this attitude. Once we got started, (I always begin by teaching them how to see… Oh they usually think they can see, until I prove to them that we physically see as if through a distorted bubble… it's true!). Once confronted with this bit of information, he began to sit up a little straighter and pay more attention. Maybe there was some valuable content here after all?! After a couple of weeks the , "I just can't Draw" excuse began to melt away. Drawing is simply seeing… but he could not see that! Once the reality of how we see is revealed, they realize that they have been stereotyping what they "think" they see when attempting to draw before. Brain Games. As they learn and practice a couple of simple formulas… "Kazaam"! They can draw!
I wish I had him in classes earlier in his academic career as we could have then gone a lot further into more creative exercises… the real essential skill for any potential engineer, doncha think?
But being able to draw is not Art. "Now that you have these skills, what are you going to do with them?" Art is Invention. Invention is difficult, you must take chances, it takes guts… It takes failure… something they often fear. THAT is Art and that is not easy to take for some who are used to simply studying the right (left)answers. Creativity is what we practice in Art class. Sometimes it takes hanging them upside down for an afternoon to help them see things differently.
Hanging students upside down for a class period is specifically meant to challenge them physically, conceptually, emotionally and creatively. Above all, you must remember… THEY ARE JUST KIDS! Sometimes a good point can be made through a silly exercise and a hearty laugh. Art is one of those subjects that lends itself to taking those potentially valuable detours. And hey, if my silly methods don't reach some students in the way I had hoped, they still might have a fun, memorable moment that broke up their busy, busy day!
Cheers, PONZ
Welcome back Ponz,
Oak Hall students are luckey to have an art instructor who thinks outside the box. My Grandsons are fornuate to have you at OH and as a senior I am even luckier to have met you. Never to late to "SEE"
HANG IN THERE PONZ, By the way did you puck?
Love and Laughter Wheels
Re my initial 12/8 Comment above …
After 22 years deploring the "fast-twitch" bias of internet culture, I've finally earned my very own flame war. Ah, the "pride of ownership" ;-)
I read Pink's Wired article, skimmed Pink's webpage, and googled his book. Then I read Ponzio's (Dec.) blog. Then I blew up, badly mis-communicating the issues, and mis-targeting emotional shrapnel at a symptom of the problems, not their causes.
"Crap" was shorthand for, "I have too much anger and too little time to adequately communicate crucial and complex issues." That's now been proven.
Where there's heat, I hope to add light: There are important issues surrounding this topic, and I want to generate useful work for social change. So where is it? I'm building a new webpage for those topics, but time is passing. I hope it will be (barely) "ready for primetime" soon. When it is, I'll post a more detailed Comment here.
In the interim, please see my old Prelude to an Apology (on Robert Ponzio's blog). That thread with Ponzio includes a brief sketch of 1 of the issues that fueled my emotional detonation — namely "Perception Management" vs. Reality and Risk.
It's about our "Culture of Science" — how failure of Risk Communication can cause catastrophe. Joe Romm is correct that scientists must learn to communicate more persuasively with the public. But that's not sufficient: Many obstacles to successful "Risk Communication" are inherent in the design of the Receiver's cognitive architecture, not transient flaws in the Sender's persuasiveness.
Physicist Richard Feynman investigated the Challenger disaster. His report documents that "Receiver failures" are not limited to the public, but even hamper scientists, in some situations. Specifically, NASA's highly-educated Space-Scientist-Managers led themselves to believe a faith-based "Technological Fix" fantasy — that the risks of a Space Shuttle disaster were 1000X lower than what their Space-Scientist-Engineers insisted was the risk — in Reality.
Like Feynman, I believe motivational bias in NASA's managerial culture prevented them from accepting accurate Risk Communication from NASA's engineers. Perhaps the NASA case study offers lessons to help us better understand — and overcome — the resistance to Risk Communication about climate change by 81% of Republican college graduates.
(Research on "motivated cognition" might offer climate activists a helpful framework for examining this issue: E.g, see "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition" and "Where the motivation resides and self-deception hides: How motivated cognition accomplishes self-deception", and the work of
Emily Balcetis.)
Feynman concluded his report with this sentence:
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence
over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled."
Kinda like our situation with climate change!
PS to Rebecca: Thanks for caring enough to clarify some of my previous miscommunication. But there are several big issues here, and to cover them will require still more work. Please stay tuned …

Today, my daughter and her "friend" kept using crude euphemisms right in front of me, thinking I was too old or too stupid to figure out what they meant. I nearly had an aneurysm when she told him he could put his "pencil" in her "sharpener" next time they studied together. FML

Recurring Role
The clip of "Homer falling down the cliff" has some new animation that wasn't in "Bart the Daredevil". When Homer falls down the second time, we actually see it rather than just hearing it in the actual episode. If you look closely, you can see that the animation looks much newer.
Writers Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Jay Kogen, Wallace Wolodarsky, John Swartzwelder, Jeff Martin, George Meyer and Nell Scovell are acknowledged during the end credits of the episode.
Moe: I brought you a little present. (Gives Homer a can of beer)
Homer: No. Beer bring pain.
Barney: I can't stand to see him like this. (Shoves a pillow in Homer's face. He than lifts up a water fountain, throws it at a window, jumps out and runs away)
Moe: He really needs a girlfriend.
TV Announcer: The following is a public service announcement. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause liver damage and cancer of the rectum.
Homer: Mmm... beer.
Squeaky-Voiced Teen: I am interested in long-distance savings. Very interested.
Marge: You lost 5% of your brain.
Homer: Me lose brain? Uh-oh! (Everyone including Homer laughs)
Homer: Why I laugh?
Grampa: Why I go in and out of coma's all the .............. french toast please.
Lisa: Is a coma painful?
Grampa: Oh heck no. You relive long lost summers, kiss girls from high school. It's like one of those TV shows where they show a bunch of clips from old episodes.
Homer: Oh Marge. What if I wind up as some vegetable watching TV on the couch. My important work will never be completed.
Dr. Hibbert: Mrs. Simpson, I'm afraid your husband is dead. (classic laugh) April Fools. He's very much alive, although I'm afraid he may never walk again.
Homer: It's a good thing that beer wasn't shooken up any more, or I'd have looked quite the fool. An April Fool, as it were.
Homer: And that's the story of April Fools Day.
Lisa: Dad, I was telling the story!
Bart: You're going down, Homer. I'm gonna fool you!
Homer: You talk better than you fool.
Bart: I'll fool you up real nice.
Homer: You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine.
Eddie: That sounded like an explosion at the old Simpson place.
Chief Wiggum: Forget it. That's two blocks away.
Eddie: Looks like there's beer coming out of the chimney!
Chief Wiggum: (Gets out of car) I am proceeding on foot. Call in a Code 8.
Eddie: (Into radio) We need pretzels. Repeat, pretzels.
Homer: God bless those pagans.
A scene was cut but re-made into the DVD season pack where Professor Frink visits Homer's hosptial room with a plan to create a shrinking submarine and plans to travel inside the Coma-ridden Homer by entering his rectum.
This episode marks the first of several Simpsons clip shows.
Blackboard Joke: No one is interested in my underpants.
Couch Gag: The family runs up to the couch and sits, but each family member has one of the others' head. Homer has Maggie's head. Marge has Bart's head. Maggie has Homer's head (sucking on Maggie's pacifier). Lisa has Marge's head. Bart has Lisa's head. They all look at each other puzzled, then each person lifts up the head from their body and passes it to the correct body. Homer still has Maggie's pacifier in his mouth, and Maggie reaches over and retrieves it.
Grampa: Poor Homer. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
The second sentence is a line from Don McLean's song "Vincent(Starry Starry Night)." The song is about artist Vincent van Gogh, who was a wonderful painter but was unsuccessful during his lifetime and suffered from mental problems. He committed suicide at a young age.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The scene where Barney picks up the drinking fountain and throws it throught the hospital window and runs away is a parody of a scene from the 1975 film One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Solid Rack
Reviewed By Joe J (WAUKESHA, WI) Reviewed for a 2011 Kia Sportage —7/20/2016 3:42 AM
Heading from Wisconsin to S. Dakota and needed a solid rack.The instructions for assembly and mounting are a bit lacking. Be sure to pull the locking cable from the frame post prior to installing the top plate. Also, the top plate locking pins must face toward the vehicle. The locking hitch pin can be difficult to line up with the bolt...I find myself on the ground each time I mount the rack. Love that it folds out to allow access to the trunk.

I bought this bike rack with high expectations, I was not disappointed. The Swagman G10 Rack is made well & to do the job. I would highly recommend this bike rack to anyone hauling 1 to 2 bikes. I spent less on another bike rack only to be purchasing this rack within 6 months, well worth the extra money.

Blackout Shades & Blinds
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!View this product

I am finding intermittent issues with a hover effect leaving one element in the opposite toggled state of all the others, but it is not happening each time.
It seems to depend on which element in a grid of divs is mouseenter/mouseleave'd first:
$('#portfolio li').hover(function(){
$(this).find('.info').stop(false, false).animate({
height: ['toggle', 'swing'],
opacity: 'toggle'
}, 300, 'linear');
The grid can be seen here in the body of the page, with the "stickyness" seen depending on the timing that the first 1 or 2 divs are mouseentered into.
Different combinations of (true,true) (true, false) etc. do not stop this first hovered div from becoming sticky (but not every time).
As seen in the image below, 2 divs are being hovered simultaneously, which should never occur:

No medieval costumes – in fact, hardly any costumes at all. It's a lovely old forest, with antique stone walls, mineshafts, and floodgates, forming a pool where a twink who isn't wearing much to start with can get clinging-clothes wet, then strip down to nothing but a cockring and do what all boys do when they're alone: foam up his balls and bush, very carefully shave them, then jack-off unimpeded by hair. Two white youths do this, and in between them, in various glades and clearings, a white and a Latino pair shave each other (cocks and asses as well) and flip-fuck. Two limber black twinks, one quite dark and the other much lighter and with tan-lines, shave their own crotches and asses!
RETAILING: Not a historical movie. Four twinks in the woods shave themselves and jack. A white/ Latino couple shave each other and flip-fuck.

is there any way by which I can change an id type to NSString object? note the following line of my code.
NSString *value = [appDelegate.bird_arr objectAtIndex:rowClicked] ;
in this appDelegate is object of my AppDelegate class in a navigation based program and bird_arr is object of NSMutableArray. I want to use the string written in row which is clicked. But objectAtIndex: returns id type. Do we have any way to change this id type to NSString or any other way by which I can collect string inside the specific row?

|[jira] [Commented] (AMQ-3802) Successful unsubscribing should not report inactive durable topic subscribers
|Fri, 13 Apr 2012 16:51:17 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3802?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13253532#comment-13253532 ] Buchi Reddy B commented on AMQ-3802: ------------------------------------ This is easily reproducible with STOMP durable subscribers. Please see the below code for example. use Net::Stomp; my $stomp = Net::Stomp->new( { hostname => 'mybroker', port => '61613' } ); $stomp->connect( { client-id => 'test_client', login => '', passcode => ''} ); print "connected \n"; $stomp->subscribe({ destination => '/topic/test_topic', 'activemq.subscriptionName' => "test_subscription" }); print "subscribed \n"; sleep(3); $stomp->unsubscribe({destination => '/topic/test_topic'}); sleep(2); $stomp->disconnect; When I run this client, I clearly see that the broker shows the client in inactive durable subscriptions list. > Successful unsubscribing should not report inactive durable topic subscribers > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-3802 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3802 > Project: ActiveMQ > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Broker > Affects Versions: 5.5.1 > Environment: Solaris,Linux > Reporter: Bhanu > > An unsubscribe call should remove the client from inactive durable topic subscribers list. In the current broker behavior, even if a durable consumer unsubscribes & shuts down gracefully, the broker marks the durable subscriber as inactive. If this durable subscriber was never meant to come up again(as in my case where i am testing rigorously using unique client-ids each time based on pid) then broker will unnecessarily mark a lot of consumers as inactive durable. > For inactive durable subscribers, there is no distinction between a subscriber going down abruptly or unsubscribing & going down gracefully. > This should be improved I think. Moreover, any tips on how to remove those 1000s of inactive subscriptions dangling in my Jconsole ?? Destroying each manually isn't an option ! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
