South Korea Threatened by Worst Power Shortages This Summer
South Korea will make public organizations cut power use and fine businesses that keep their doors open while using air-conditioning as the country faces its worst-ever electricity shortages.
All public offices must reduce power use by at least 15 percent in July and August compared with a year ago, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said in a statement today. Temperatures in large buildings must remain above 26 degrees Celsius (79 Fahrenheit) during peak demand periods.
South Korea, which depends on nuclear energy for more than 30 percent of its electricity, is trying to curb power consumption after two nuclear plants were shut this week and the start of operations at another was delayed. Demand may exceed capacity by 1,980,000 kilowatts in the second week of August, as consumption peaks amid higher-than normal temperatures, the ministry said.
"We expect the worst power shortages this summer because of the closures of the three nuclear reactors," the ministry said. "Positive efforts for conservation are urgently needed. If we go through this summer safely, shortages will be resolved next summer as new power plants come on stream."
The Shin-Kori No. 2 and Shin-Wolsong No. 1 reactors will be shut for about four months to replace control cables supplied under fake quality warranties, the Energy Ministry said May 28. The government also ordered the replacement of cables at the Shin-Kori No. 1 reactor, which is already shut for regular maintenance, and at the new Shin-Wolsong No. 2 plant, which is being reviewed before commencing operations.
Solar Power
To increase supply, the country will build a solar power plant with 100,000 kilowatts of capacity and increase operating rates at private power plants, the ministry said. It will ensure stable supply of liquefied natural gas.
The government will also encourage factories to adjust operation schedules, the ministry said. It will impose surcharges on peak-time use, while offering discounts to users during low-demand time, it said.
Shares of Korea Electric Power Corp., the state-controlled monopoly distributor, fell 2.6 percent to close at 26,800 won, the lowest level since December 11. The local benchmark Kospi index was almost unchanged.

To the Editor:
—I have noted a paradox in the July 27th issue of The Journal, regarding hemangiomas in infancy. On page 33 the surgical management is supported, while on page 246 an opposite opinion is expressed and discusses the advantage of the conservative management. I support the consensus of a number of radiologists that most hemangiomas should be managed conservatively and that 90% of them will undergo complete regression without any definitive therapy.A letter on this same subject and concurring with the conservative type of treatment was received from Dr. Arthur Bobroff, Seattle, Wash.

I am trying to alter the template for entry and archive pages.
My main page displays two sidebars. I would like to alter the entry and archive pages to display only one sidebar, and increase the width of the entries. I am able to create the new sidebar with no trouble, but am having difficulty in altering the width of the entry.
I have tried altering the stylesheet, but this affected all the pages, which I do not want.
Can someone please point me towards an explanation which might be helpful, or give me some guidance in how to do this?

601 West Santa Ana Boulevard, Santa Ana, CA
The Judicial Council accepted the City of Santa Ana's terms of sale for this site in 2005.
The new building will include office suites for nine justices, a courtroom, a settlement conference center, a law library, and work spaces for staff.
The new courthouse replaces two leased facilities that the court had outgrown
The city, at its expense, completed demolition and removal of a building on the site, razed the site to street level, and completed construction of a parking structure directly adjacent to the site, which provides approximately 70 additional parking spaces for the court's use.
The appellate court is close to having its own courthouse, which encompasses 52,000 square feet of enclosed, secure space in a modern, three-story building.
The new facility includes a spacious courtroom for oral arguments, offices for nine justices, a settlement conference center, a law library, and workspaces for court staff.
The new Fourth District Court of Appeals, District Three, celebrated its opening in January 2010.

I have often wondered of the difference between having a duration and an estimated duration in MS Project.
Apart from the question mark indicator next to the duration (as an indicator), is there any other benefit or difference between the two?
I mean does project take this into account for calculating schedules?

Women gathered to turn bras into pieces of art at Polk Street United Methodist Church on Saturday.
The Amarillo Area Breast Health Coalition hosted the event to educate women about breast cancer and encourage survivors to turn a bra into a story.
"It's about art and healing," said Sharon Felts, a 20 year breast cancer survivor.
This is the first year the coalition has hosted a bra factory, although they have encouraged women to turn bras into art for six years.
Before, they simply gave out bra kits and would collect the final product at a later time. It was decided that the woman should create the bras together, thus the bra factory was born.
"When you get them (women) in a room together, they find out how creative they are," Felts said.
The women are supplied with bras, beads, paint, ribbon and other tools to create their own piece of art.
Felts, a volunteer, said the coalition hosts the event so survivors and co-survivors can take bras and use them to express their journeys with breast cancer.
She designed a bra with five-year cancer survivor Joyce Ritter. The pink bra displayed two broken tea cups on the front.
One cup represents the brokenness of a woman who is first diagnosed with breast cancer, another slightly less broken cup, was to represent a woman's healing after living with the diagnosis for five years.
Felts would add one final cup, a cup with just a small chip taken out to represent the piecing back together of a survivor of 20 years like herself.
The group travels around the region to educate women and give them an opportunity to receive grants for mammograms.
"The earlier the detection, the better the chance of survival," Executive Director, Leticia Goodrich, said adding that early detection yields a 98 to 100 percent chance of survival.
"There isn't any reason for a woman to die of breast cancer," Goodrich said.
The bras made on Saturday will join other bras from around the Texas Panhandle as well as a few special bras decorated by local artist, for an art exhibit in August.
The bras will be displayed from 7 to 9 p.m. Aug. 23 at Process Art House.
The free event will ask visitors to donate to vote for their favorite bras.

Rose Ouellette
Rose-Alma Ouellette (August 25, 1903 - September 14, 1996) also known by her stage name La Poune was a Quebec actress, comedian, theatre manager and artistic director.[1][2] In the later part of her career, she appeared in film and on television,[3] but she is most remembered for her work on stage. Ouellette was a leading figure of the very popular burlesque and vaudeville genres which dominated the theatrical scene in Montreal from the 1920s until the 1960s.[4] From 1936 to 1953, Ouellette was in charge of the Théâtre National and in the late 60s and early 70s, she worked with Gilles Latulippe at the Théâtre des Variétés of Montreal.[1] In 1982, she appeared as madame Jeanne Renoir in Scandale; she has also made various television appearances.[5] Her 75 year career eventually made her a cultural icon in Quebec.[1]

We have a guaranteed winning season in the books but those of us who think Miami will be a cake walk look out...that's a tough team. Hartline and Bess will carve Terrell Brown up in the slot.
@ New England??? We better be sure we KTFO Brady early and often
@ Seattle??? Dem Seatards are going to be gunning for us. We better hope Browner and Sherman are SSuspended.
vs. Turdinals -- yes, not as dangerous as the Phins but Kevin Kolb could be back and that defense is always a force to be reckoned with.
Honestly I say at this point with our offense the way it is regardless if it's CK or AS -- we finish 10-5-1. Losses @ Pats and Seattle. Seattle, btw will run the table and win the division @ 11-5.

Hello everyone. I run a small bi-weekly and use WP as a CMS. This means that every other week I have to upload dozens of texts at a time. It's both time-consuming and tedious: open the file in text editor, copy, paste, add bolding and such, save with a different date, open another text...
My question is: is there a way to batch publish my rtf files, or at least import them straight to WP? I was looking for some plugin to do that, but could not find one. Ideally, the tool would allow me to select a number of files and some properties for all of them (like common date, publisher and category), doing the rest (applying formatting and so on) would be easy. Alternatively a simple one-by-one solution would be much of a help as well.
BTW, all my rtf files are structured in the very same way, which could help. The file naming scheme I use is "<WP category> - <Title of a post> - <number of words>.rtf", and the first line always is "<WP category> | <Title of a post>". That should help I guess.
Any ideas?

First, Let me start by saying thatI am aware of other similar questions, like this one here:
How to implement "mustMatch" and "selectFirst" in jQuery UI Autocomplete?
but it doesnt really do what I would expect. I'll explain why below. I am also aware of this simple guide posted by the original developer of the plugin:
and I have done many implementations of the former plugin and a few fairly customized implementations of the UI plugin.
Having said that, here is my issue and why the first solution does not work for me. The soruce comes from a DB in the form of JSON objects. I use a custom function to set the options, see below:
source: function (request, response) {
var sourceData = $.parseJSON(result); //result is an array coming in via ajax
response($.map(sourceData, function (item) {
return { label: item.PortName, value: item.PortName, source: item };
//item has about 12 properties that could be used for other forms.
Then I also have a custom
change() event that grabs the
source above, and does a few things like store the item itself in the
data() object of the element, as well as parse some of the data from the
item object to be used in other form fields, etc.
The solution above only sets the value of the input to the first autocomplete option, but it does not replicate the
select or
change event of the autocomplete. So in reality is not a true
selectFirst or
autoFill replica.
change function looks like this:
change: function (event, ui) {
if (ui.item) {
else {
which is a quick, simple, implementation of the mustMatch feature for now. This will most likely change once I have these 2 features implemented.
Ok, with all that said, any suggestions on how to implement either or both of these features? I have tried attaching a
blur event as suggested in the question above, but that wont work.
thanks in advance.
This is what I have tried so far. Binding a
blur event to the autocomplete element. The commented-out line uses the value of the first element in the dropdown and sets the text of the input. This would work if thats all I would need, but i need to replicate the select event, which means that i need more data (not just the text).
.live('blur', function (e) {
if ($('.ui-autocomplete li').length > 0) {
//$(this).val($(".ui-autocomplete li:visible:first").text());
$(".ui-autocomplete li:visible:first").click();
else {
The other problem with this solution, is that it actually overrides the
change event in the autocomplete and it does not execute as expected. Which is why I included the
else section. This is not quite what it will look like, but a proof of concept.

About this Business

From Our Editors
After graduating at the top of her class in conceptual illustration and color theory at the Art Institute of Seattle, Laurel Leof found an unexpected use for her aesthetic sensibility. She opened Defined Beauty, a cosmetic facility where she enhances facial features with permanent-makeup services. Using a combination of SofTap methods and topical anesthetics to minimize discomfort, Laurel imbues brows, lips, and eyelines with micropigmentation techniques that can last three–five years before they need to be retouched and 300 years before they need to be renamed in our cyborg overlord's honor. In addition to her own clientele, Laurel also works on referrals from plastic surgeons and dermatologists, applying her expertise to scar repair and needling, a facial treatment that boosts collagen production and cell renewal.

Featured Vacations In French Riviera
What We Love About French Riviera
On The Destination
- Partying like a celeb and spending like one too—a beer will cost you a whopping $33!—at Les Caves du Roy, the hottest nightclub in town, inside the hottest hotel in town, the Byblos. (Tip: Be sure to dress the part!)
- Soaking up the glamorous scene and celeb-spotting on popular Nikki Beach.
- Perusing a collection of some 4,500 rare and endangered species of butterflies at La Maison des Papillons.
Nice, France Today
Not long ago, it wasn't easy being Nice. Travelers shunned it, electing not to spend their Riviera holidays in a listless community of shuffling retirees whose last wish before dying was a perfect hazelnut tan. Until recently, even the French didn't have much use for Nice. Historically,... More

When you create a new AvatarRenderer object load all of the models and textures associated with the AvatarDescription have to be loaded. The time it takes to load goes up if you are creating a number of AvatarRenderer objects at the same time.
So what do developers need to do while the avatar loads?
In most cases nothing! Just call the avatar draw method as if the avatar was already loaded. By default we will draw a loading effect in place of the avatar while it loads. Once the avatar has completed loading the loading effect will fade out to reveal the avatar.
If you want to determine if the avatar has loaded fully you can use the AvatarRenderer.IsLoaded property.
If you don't want to use the loading effect you can use the AvatarRenderer constructor overload below.
AvatarRenderer(AvatarDescription avatarDescription, bool useLoadingEffect);
So what does this loading effect look like? The loading effect is made up of a number of transparent quads that display an animating texture.

yeah! yO!
What a wonderful work. Well done !
Awesome art yo!!!
THIS. wow. i love how you made life this small tree sprout (instead of, you know, animals, a baby, a group of humans or a whole forest) - it's so small, and yet takes center stage. I love the look on the horsemen's faces - Death looks positively confounded and the rest are just like: "so, I'm supposed to kill it, right? why is it even here? how come, life is coming back?" or something. ^o^ also, that reminds me of the pandora's box story, with the little (lit up) tree being the tiny shred of hope left.
Mister Foster, your art is an inspiration. Every piece has me poring over the details. Thank you for posting here!
I want you to know that I love you. I shall frame this piece and mount it in pride of place in my memory palace.

California Republican And Democrat Urge Voters To Oust Colleague
Democrat Howard Berman's campaign releases new robocalls of colleagues calling Rep. Brad Sherman an "embarrassment." Just when you thought Berman-Sherman couldn't get uglier.
Washington, D.C. — The intraparty fight between California Democrats Brad Sherman and Howard Berman took another ugly turn Wednesday when two of Sherman's colleagues cut robocall soundtracks accusing him of being an embarrassment and pleading with voters not to send him to Washington.
The bipartisan calls, one by Democrat Henry Waxman and the other by Republican Elton Gallegly, are the latest episode in an increasingly bitter Democrat on Democrat election that has featured personal attacks, a fight over who is more supportive of Israel and even a physical altercation earlier this month.
In his call, Gallegly says that "in my 13 terms in the United States House of Representatives, I've never made a recorded campaign call like this before."
Pointing to Sherman's altercation with Berman — in which he grabbed his colleague during a candidate forum — Gallegly argues "This is no way to behave … Please, do not send Brad Sherman back to Congress. His behavior is unacceptable."
Waxman, meanwhile, labels Sherman's campaign an "embarrassment" in his robocall and argues that "Sherman's aggressiveness is one of the reasons that almost all of his colleagues, including Senators Feinstein and Boxer, are supporting Howard Berman."
"Please do not send Brad Sherman back to Congress. His behavior is unacceptable," Waxman pleads with voters.
- Hillary Clinton's campaign was reportedly hacked as part of what appears to be a broad cyber attack on Democrats.
- A federal court struck down North Carolina's voting restrictions, ruling they intentionally made it harder for black people to vote.
- Four people in Florida are likely the first to contract the Zika virus from mosquitos in the US, the state's governor says.

Adobe just released a new version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to photographers. We were waiting for a new version last year, when Adobe released Photoshop 2014, but it never came. The wait is over and it was worth the wait. This new version is named Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 if you buy the standalone version, or Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC if you subscribe to it from one of the Creative Cloud programs. For this review, we'll simply call it Lightroom CC.

We already know American Citizens will be paying for all illegals and poorer. Congrads! to Obama and Liberal followers for single handedly destroying America.Keep it up, cause then even you blind fools can see what a mistake you've made.
#3 Jun 28, 2012
the poor and illegals already get free healthcare thru medicaid or just walking into a hospital ER. Thats why people who pay out of pocket or with health plans have the astronomical bills to pay for the po folks. nothing will change, they won't tax an illegal or someone below poverty line, if they don't have medicaid, they will be given it. They don't pay now and they won't pay 10yrs from now.

The IRS is well known for collecting from those who didn't pay their dues so if you are poor and use emergency care without having an insurance, GOD HELP YOU, because the IRS will garnish your existence! So you are better off dying in your own house!

And who do you think pay the bills for the poor in Cleveland, Detroit, Flint, Buffalo, Baltimore, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Savannah, Charleston, Memphis, Little Rock, St. Louis, Kansas City, Oakland, Gary, Marquette, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Biloxi, Hattiburghs, Mobile, Birmingham, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Compton, etc.

Mostly people who work for a living, pay thier own insurance. The poor in the cities you named are probably on welfare and suck off the rest of us.

I know the Obama economy is bad, but please get out of your Mom's basement and try to find a real job.

Pay their own insurance? Which insurance? Give names. The working class probably relies on employer's insurance. And the part-timers, who get their jobs through a TEMP office, pay the TEMP office for insurance!
The 30 million people with no official insurance rely on their cities and towns to take care of them and we all pay their bills! If they are taking Welfare, they probably qualify for medicaid and in that case, they are covered. However, there are 30 millions who don't qualify for medicaid!

Something tells me this isn't what Obama had in mind. He looks sick to his stomach for some reason. Nobody expected it to pass. Roberts is up to something, I think.
#18 Jun 28, 2012
This is awful, now the the uninsured no longer have the right to welch on hospital bills, they have to be insured like the rest of us too? Where's the justice? All this does is give the Big Medicine an intraveinous tube into our wallets. We no longer have the right to be uninsured and they never have to be stuck with the bill again. Obama sold out to big business.

There is some truth to what you are saying. It may backfire on him in November when the ability to live without paying a health tax is over for many people barely scraping by right now because there isn't a job to be found out there. i think Roberts put the screws to Obama. It was all a sham until now. I think the joke is on Obama.
#20 Jun 28, 2012
At this point it really doesn't much matter. We are broke and going more broke every day. We're screwed.
We've done what Russia said would happen, we've spent ourselves out of business.
This health care fiasco is going to kill the economy.
#21 Jun 28, 2012
And just wait until all these dopes realize they have to pay this tax for not buying insurance. LOL.
#22 Jun 28, 2012
All I can say is 16 trillion heading to 30 trillion in debt. They won't be able to tax us enough. You can't have a country with half of it's people sitting around on the government dole in one form or another.
It's going to be a long slow erosion that will lead to sudden implosion.
We can't tax our way out of this, the numbers are too large.

Time for a dance: "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" was the theme for a Valentine's Day dance at Victoria House Assisted Living Facility, 5295 Ashley Circle, Austintown, where the grand lobby was transformed into "Club Victoria." After residents were treated to a surf-and-turf dinner, music was provided by Steve Fazzini as special guests and a group of ballroom dancers entertained and danced with the residents. Joining in the festivity, above, was Rosemary Yaworsky, a nurse at Victoria House, whose dance partner is one of the residents, Jack Finn.

Police ticket man after plow crashJanuary 20,2014SHARON — Police said a Chelsea man caused a crash Sunday morning when he tried to pass a state plow truck.
Police said 69-year-old Glenn Manning was driving on Route 14 in a 2006 Subaru Forester when he tried to pass a state Agency of Transportation snow plow truck driven by Devan Paradis, 20, of Gaysville.
Police said Paradis was turning left when Manning attempted to pass.
There were no injuries, but Manning's car sustained moderate damage to its front end and passenger's side, while Paradis' truck sustained front-end damage, including the plow.
Police issued a ticket to Manning. At the time of the crash, the road was slippery and covered with slush, police said.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Skip to comments.Does Science Have a Magisterium?
Posted on 12/10/2009 4:24:15 PM PST by GodGunsGuts
At National Review Online, conservative curmudgeon John Derbyshire has weighed in on the Climategate scandal by encouraging conservatives not to jump on the anti-science bandwagon. I share his worry and find his advice is good so far as it goes; but I think Derbyshire's defense of science might actually encourage the skepticism he wants to prevent. Most of the trouble comes from his invocation of the word "science," and his claim that science has a magisterium.
His article is called "Trust Science." I'm not sure what that means. What is "science," and how do we "trust" it? Imagine if someone said: "Trust philosophy" or "Trust humanities" or "Trust religion." The command in each case is far too vague to inspire confidence. "Science" isn't a person or a finite set of propositions that can be tested or divine revelation. It's not even a single institution. So how exactly do you trust it?
What we should trust is solid conclusions derived from valid reasoning based on publicly available empirical evidence, especially when it leads to reliable resultssuch as getting your 737 from Seattle to New York. But the abstract noun "science" is too vaporous to capture that. Perhaps "science at its best" would be a better substitute.
A related problem is that Derbyshire appeals to a scientific magisterium: "Science contains a core magisterium, which we can and do trust." This should give anyone who has followed the climate change debate the creepsa reaction Derbyshire anticipates in the column. But he seems blind to why talk of a scientific magisterium is creepy; so let me spell it out.
Other than listing the things Derbyshire thinks are settled and "without serious competitors," he doesn't really even identify what the magisterium is. This gives the impression that the magisterium is the subjectively determined list of things that people with power claim are settled. And that impression encourages the postmodern doubters of truth that Derbyshire hopes to keep back from the gates.
Science is different from the Catholic Church, which has a magisterium. This refers to the settled teaching authority of the Church, based on Scripture, the divine traditions reliably passed down from the apostles, guided by the Holy Spirit, and represented in the bishops in communion with the Bishop of Rome. And even this magisterium is only considered infallible under certain narrow circumstances. Although the Catholic explanation of the magisterium is subtle, the basic teachings of Catholicismand the distinctions between negotiable and non-negotiable teachingsare contained in texts such as the Catechism. The magisterium is easily identified with a single institution, which one is free to trust or not to trust.
But science has none of that, and doesn't claim to. It's not a single institution. It doesn't claim to be based on divine revelation or be guided by the Holy Spirit. It doesn't have a priesthood or a central authority. It doesn't even have a settled body of teachings. Science isn't, and ought not to be, a surrogate religion.
Of course, most of what we believe to be scientifically verified truth is based on the testimony of scientists, textbooks, and journalists. In fact, most of what we all believe about most things is based on testimony. That's okay. But anyone with a passing acquaintance with the history of science knows that every age has had a reigning intellectual orthodoxy or orthodoxies, declared to be "settled science" (a term Derbyshire summons) that were later seen to be erroneous. It doesn't follow that because most scientists believe something to be true, or hold to a "consensus," it ought to be doubted. Sometimes there are well-founded consensuses. But if you have good reason to be suspicious of a claim made by scientists, including lots of scientists, then you're not under an intellectual obligation to submit to it.
In fact, no one appeals to consensus on the really solid stuff. Have you ever heard anyone cry consensus when talking about the Periodic Table of the Elements? More often than not, "consensus" is used to intimidate and silence dissenters. A scientific magisterium sounds like consensus-on-steroids, and brings to mind the big, state-funded "science" of which philosophers of science like Michael Polanyi have rightly been suspicious. It's reminiscent of the way the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is often invoked to silence debate about the causes of climate change.
Derbyshire is right that no one, conservative or not, should infer from the collusion and evidence manipulation of leading climate scientists that science is just one more political power trip. But in light of Climategate and the previously known shenanigans confirmed by the scandal, it's up to scientists and the journalists who serve as their megaphones to rise to the defense of science at its bestscience based on solid, publically available evidence, valid arguments, and reasonable conclusions. We'll see if they do that. In the meantime, invoking the authority of a scientific magisterium looks too much like an extreme form of an appeal to consensus, which may be one of the reasons for public skepticism in the first place.
I trust science without reservation - I'm not too trusting of some scientists or their conclusions though!
"Science" is whatever the party says it is.
I trust science. It is the scientist which I do not trust.
This applies just as much to AIDS skeptics and Creationists/IDers as it does climate science...or any other scientific endeavor for that matter.
Science- yes.
Politically motivated lies spread by Al Goracle -no.
There are too many of those concentrating on Climate Studies at present.
They need to be purged, willingly or not.
Trust Science, but don't trust a scientist with a finger in the financial pie.

There has been some email traffic in the last few days to a week - quite a bit really, only a small part about MSU. The main part has been one of your House subcommittees wanting Mike Mann and others and IPCC to respond on how they produced their reconstructions and how IPCC
produced their report.
In case you want to look at this see later in the email !
Also this load of rubbish !
This is from an Australian at BMRC (not Neville Nicholls). It began from the attached article. What an idiot.
The scientific community would come down on me in no
uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isnt statistically significant. The Australian also alerted me to this blogging ! I think this is the term ! Luckily I dont live in Australia.
AND SEE ALSO: 'Climategate' professor Phil Jones awarded £13 million in research grants.
Amen to that. Indeed, a good dose of market oriented science would cure that. I think it's time to start phasing science over to the free market. Let supply and demand determine how many scientists we need.
Science is the search for truth. Yeah, I'd NEVER trust that. Seesh.
There is no science without fallible human beings. They are inseparable.
I am FOR science, REAL SCIENCE, unbiased science, not political hacks manipulating data to get a desired outcome.
People who have an agenda have no place in science.
That is not anti-science! And I find it offensive for anyone to question my love for science because I refuse to allow a few quacks who have fooled others into believing they are REAL scientists, when they are nothing more than agenda driven ideologues.
Science? Why not!
But who will tell science?
Science? What Science?
Anyway Science needs to improve and go on every day
Obviously you've read his other posts before....
I can't think of any great scientist that is remembered down through the generations that became great and remembered for following the prevailing consensus.
They all overturned a prevailing belief, and the greater the consensus stacked against them, the more settled the science seemed, the more we revere the scientist today.
Since medical doctors have lost the ethos of the Hippocratic Oath, they have joined scientists in forgetting their humanity, in the pursuit of information devoid of knowledge and wisdom.
Setting aside religious beliefs for a moment, both scientists and doctors need to reexamine their whole spectrum of values.
To explain, values in a non-religious context can be looked at in three ways. The first of these is the scale of life. From simplest to most complex, life has inherent value, but life also has value to other forms of life. Most scientists grasp this well, understanding both that life is ephemeral, and that life consumes or displaces other life.
Many, unfortunately, do not look beyond just life, to realize that there are other values, other scales of values, beyond just life.
For example, if a person has value, does their family have more value, or their "people", or their nation, or all people apart from other living things? It is easy to assume that many people are more important than one person, but this assumption is not always correct.
There are some scientists and doctors who try to place the value of the life of another person in context with the entire world. How arrogant! It is just another form of dehumanization, and an excuse to abuse another person with emotional impunity and indifference.
Some of them are overwhelmed by the idea of there being so many people in the world. It is easy for them to talk about how much "better" the world would be if a third, or a half, or even most people would just die. This is the problem of a lack of ethics.
And this is the bottom line, for both scientists and doctors. They either embrace life, if they are ethical, or they despise life, if they have no ethos.
The third kind of values are based in sympathy or empathy. Many scientists and doctors abhor this, however, because they just cannot muster such feelings And while the ethics found in religion could make a suitable replacement for this lack of sympathy or empathy, without it, all scientists and doctors can promise is destruction and death.
Anyone can do science and thus be a scientist and letting it become like an elitist priesthood has been a mistake as the Global Warming scam has demonstrated.
"You are not a scientist" is just a way of intimidating others into accepting the so-called "magisterium" of an elitist science.
Bears repeating......
God is Great...
"I was blinded by science!"
-Thomas Dolby
Poignant remarks, you will be resoundingly demeaned, but certainly not by me.
There is no unbiased science because there are no unbiased scientists.
Your failure to recognize that is demonstrating bias in itself.
What Metmom said!
Interesting the keywords spammed into the keyword list on a topic that does not address religion from a source that is not religious.
Then why does someone think that it *belongsinreligion*?
Or that it's *notasciencetopic*?
Or whatever........
I beg to differ. Make and *all* instead of the *vast bulk*.
Seems to me that science worked pretty well for a long time before the government grant money provided the living.
You extremist you! J/K. The only reason I said "vast bulk" is because of national security related science. But then again, I suppose most of that could be contracted out as well!
But how many us would pull out our check books for a Super-Duper Collision Collector? Not very many just to provide jobs and prestige for the users and not even a hadron for our money.
I have researched 100's of things never once did I manipulate the data. In fact, on my masters thesis the facts actually disproved my original hypothesis (I actually found that interesting). Never once was I tempted to manipulate the data to make it turn out how I expected it to before hand.
" There is no unbiased science because there are no unbiased scientists.
Your failure to recognize that is demonstrating bias in itself. "
That is precisely why you judge the credibility of the science by what is published - it's methods, means, and data, as well as any relevant disclosures on funding. That way everyone can look at it through the lens of their own biases - and if the science is good more often than not the conclusions are validated despite biases inherent in the human condition.
This is precisely why "creation science" is just like "global warming science" neither publish their full methods means and data, nor do they disclose other relevant facts - like pre-determined conclusions.
Your anti-science bias is clearly visible, thank you for making it so apparent so we may judge your comments accordingly.
BUT, that is not the same as taking raw data and secretly changing it to meet an end (destroying the original data that was painstakingly collected) and then distributing that knowingly false manipulated data to others who think they are getting original data. Who then do research based on the falsified data that reinforces a falsehood and perpetuates a lie.
Manipulating data in that way is akin to scientific heresy, and those responsible should be thrown out of the scientific community, lose their teaching and research positions, have all of their grants retracted, and be shunned for life from the scientific community.
That's because you have integrity. It speaks well of you.
Unfortunately that is not a universal practice.
Studies examine withholding of scientific data among researchers, trainees
It May Look Authentic; Heres How to Tell It Isnt
Most scientific papers are probably wrong
Most Science Studies Appear to Be Tainted By Sloppy Analysis
Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
One in seven scientists say colleagues fake data
You Can Trust a Scientist Cant You?
I worked for an environmental consulting firm. Several people had "environmental scientist" on their business cards. I always got a laugh out of that. They collected samples for laboratory analysis, and mapped plumes of groundwater contamination, but conducted no real research. They had bachelor degrees, and one of them had no degree.
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he take under the sun?
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, 'See, this is new?' it has been already of *old* time, which was before us.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
Ecclesiastes 1:2-11
I'd consider the national security stuff more technology related.
There is, however, the meteorology related stuff. :)
The NWS was started during the war to provide information for the military and has expanded due to the impact weather has on the citizenry.
Very useful information, that weather stuff. Even then, the research on storm development could be contracted out.
Me too. Figures don't lie, but liars do figure. The problem is when any agenda driven entity, whether YEC or AGW begins to decide what the figures are saying.
You aren't trying to drag this discussion into a rehash or refutation of heliocentrism are you?
Likewise there are no unbiased buyers and sellers. Does this mean there are no unbiased markets?
Of course not. Markets (properly realized) are unbiased setters of prices even though, in that particular case, ALL marketeers are biased, and markedly so.
Your logic is flawed. (Fallacy of Composition/Division) It is not the case that, in order for an institution to be unbiased, that all (or even any) individual participants be unbiased.
Science has a MAGICSTERICAL, too.
It's a toss up as to whether the RC's or Science's MAGICSTERICAL
is more . . . outrageously silly, obtuse, laughable, distorting of reality, !!!!TRADITION!!!! bound, twisted by narrow power mongering bias . . . etc.
Could it not be said these 'climate-warmers' are in fact heliocentricts?.... I posted Solomon's words NOT because of heliocentrism but rather to point out the vanities of flesh man. Solomon says what is, has already been of *OLD* time, of which there is no retrieval memory in the flesh body.
With all science these days you must be very careful to note what are actual facts and what are theories and conjecture masked as facts. Too often much of what you read and see are not facts but are presented as facts. The worst part is that one so called fact is based upon another so called fact. Soon you have to unravel lots of unreliable conclusions before you can get down to the bare facts and you can decide what you believe they may or may not mean.
That is a very good reason to stay off the IRC website and to ignore these posts by GGG. You see, GGG is involved in a self declared war with real science because it has rejected his crack pot theories developed, published, and posted over a nearly 30 year stint under many, many names, accounts, and net IDs. Like a petulant child, if he can't have mass adulation by the science community he is going to try his best to strip it away from the likes of Charles Darwin. In his grand scheme, Young Earth Creationists are only useful idiots, to borrow a phrase.
You might want to note that Ben Stein's film "Expelled" is now being shown on the cable channels. The film documents the manner in which people who speak out against Chuck Darwin's brain-dead ideology or even so much as mention the fact that there might be competing theories in any sort of a classroom or professional setting are subject to attack by the system and in many cases are having their ability to earn livings impacted. It's just about to the point where somebody has to be outside of the system to talk about it.
Getting lonely over there at Darwin Central?? Get used to it, it's gonna get lonelier...

So, fun story to this piece. My moirail got me back into 'Okami', and so I had been planning to break out my Chinese Brush set for the better part of this week. Today, I ended up at the hospital for some internal stuff. In order to make myself feel better, I instantly pulled out the set and painted this when I got home. Considering I'm absolute shit at painting in any medium, this came out pretty good <3
someone did remember
fun fact: it's also Rouge b.day
