O-Tropin: Awakening Your Internal Fountain of YouthNovember 16, 2013 · Heather · Elements News, News, Products · 0 Comments
From the time of Alexander the Great, people have searched far and wide for that mythical, magical elixir purported to reverse the effects of time and make you young again. The stories have intrigued generations, and while the search today may not be specifically for that elusive Fountain of Youth; the essence of the pursuit is no different. Injections, plastic surgery and a myriad of products and services that promise to turn back the clock have many people willing to shell out hundreds, even thousands, of dollars for the chance to look and feel younger.
In reality, though, the best way to fight the signs of aging is to equip your body with everything it needs to function optimally, and naturally combat – or even reverse – the visible and not so visible effects of growing older. And one of the best products we've found to help you do just that is Orenda's fabulous O-Tropin spray.
Never seen in this particular combination before, O-Tropin has a proprietary blend of plant-based amino acids. But where O-Tropin truly stands apart from other anti-aging solutions is in its advanced liposome delivery system.
A liposome is like a tiny bubble, and in the case of O-Tropin, it's equipped with a sort of GPS system. This amazing technology (similar to that used in pharmacology and even chemotherapy to enable doctors to deliver specific ingredients to specific targets) has been virtually untouched by the natural health industry… until now.
Orenda inserts the essential nutrients of O-Tropin into the liposomes and programs the destination for the pituitary, which is the master gland of the endocrine system that produces a variety of hormones (including the human growth hormone) to regulate metabolism, body temperature, sexual function, thyroid and adrenal function, and reproductive health. Of the many hormones the pituitary regulates, several of them are directly linked to the symptoms of aging. So it's no surprise that, when the body has a healthy pituitary, you also see the following benefits:
~ More energy and better endurance
~ Healthy immune function
~ Healthy blood pressure
~ Normal sleep patterns
~ Healthy metabolism
~ More lean muscle mass
~ Healthy brain activity
~ Increased libido / sexual function
O-Tropin is easy to use – just spray it under your tongue, hold for 30 seconds and then swallow. One of the cornerstones of the Orenda line, it helps your body do what nature intended – rejuvenate itself from within. You'll be amazed at how good you can feel!

The Problem
I contract with a few different companies at a time. I have email addresses with several of them. Each have their own clients who want to share assets - things like comps, artwork, wireframes and so forth. I've played with a variety of ways of sharing these assets. You can attach them to tickets in your ticketing system, but you may not want your client to be in the ticketing system. I've also had clients that were savvy enough to use a repository like GIT or SVN - but that is fairly rare. In comes Dropbox. Dropbox synchronizes and version controls on drag and drop. Almost any client can wrap their heads around that concept.
This works fabulously for one dropbox. However, if you are in a situation where you need (want) multiple boxes, things get a little squirrelly. Dropbox does not support this. Luckily, if you are a mac user, a little script in your terminal window will fix this lickety split, allowing you to have as many drop-boxes as email addresses you work with.
Step 1 - Synch It, open a terminal window. Type the following into the window changing "name-to-synch" whatever you wish the directory to be named.
HOME=$HOME/dropbox-name-to-synch /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox &
If this has worked, it will have set up a new dropbox folder for you in your home folder:
At this point, a second drop box icon will show up at the top of your screen and you will be prompted to authenticate. Enter in the dropbox email address and password that you want to use and run through the setup process. Once this is done, the box will start to synch. This is all well and good, but when you restart your computer, it all goes *poof*. It is perfectly ok, to go through this process each time you restart, but perhaps a bit of a pain.
Step 2 - Automate it The Mac comes with a little application called Automator. This is where the fun begins - you can create a little application that runs this script for you. Fire up Automator - if you can't find it, use spotlight in the top right corner of the screen.
- Choose Workflow - fot the type of document
- In Actions, type "Shell" in the little search window and choose "run shell script" - drag the action to the workflow pane.
- Change the Shell in the little pulldown to /bin/bash and replace "cat" with the command we used in the terminal. HOME=$HOME/dropbox-name-to-synch /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox &
- Click "Run"
- Run through the process of authenticating
- Then, in Automator, go to File -> Save.
- Give it a name, something like My Business Dropbox and make the File Format "Application"
- Quit Automator and Quit the Dropbox you just created. It has it's own menu if you click on it.
- Double click on the new Application you just built - it should launch your new dropbox and synch it for you.
Step 3 - Differentiate it
Dang it! Both boxes look the same! Click on your new dropbox in the top menu and pull down to preferences. In the general tab, check "Use black and white menu bar icons". Now the two boxes look clearly different!

Looking for close proximity to the best section of Hilton Head's 12-Mile Beach? This is it!. After a short walk on a private concrete pathway, you'll find yoursel at a seemingly endless stretch of unimaginably wide beach.
A walk or bike ride in either direction will be uninterrupted for five miles.
Your bungalow is also close to all the best Hilton Head has to offer including tennis, three golf courses, horseback riding, fishing, nature trails, biking, and superb restaurants.
Set in a natural environment adjacent to the forest preserve, this free-standing home is a perfect alternative to an apartment-like villa where you share walls on both sides with the neighbors.
James Hormel
The island has some 23 golf courses. In Sea Pines alone there are three, among them the famous Harbourtown Golf Links, home to the annual PGA Heritage Classic.
The "Low Country" of South Carolina iis known for an abundance of unusual wildlife and vegetation. You're sure to see something new on every bike ride or walk along the miles of trails within the forest preserve. It's adjacent to your bunglalow.
At the beach you can fish, or help the kids collect shells. Perhaps you might want to take up parasailing, sea kayaking, or jet skiing. Let's not forget impromptu fun like volley ball games on the beach, or a cook out at Lake Mary.
Eat in or out, Hilton Head as many great restaurants per capitas as New York City.

Sea Pines Condo Rental
April 9, 2015
We enjoyed being able to take our two dogs on vacation with us over Spring break. Our dogs are our "children/grandchildren". Unit was furnished nicely and comfortably. We appreciated having a gas grill to cook fresh fish. Wonderful walking paths for dogs plus a "senior". Loved short walk to beach and that our dogs were allowed on the beach. Also, dog park nearby to let them have some freedom from a leash. Highly recommend and we will return.

came down for a quick getaway over the New Year's- the Villa was as expected if not better- plenty of space- we had an incredible time-including watching the games. Would like to come back in warmer weather and really enjoy the outdoor porch and grill. Will most definitely return!

We have twice tried to rent this property. The dates we want always seem to be available (as do most dates, which should have been a red flag), but no one ever responds to our request for information or to sign a rental agreement. Efforts to let Vacation Home Rentals know about this situation go into a vacuum. Do NOT try to rent!

We totally enjoyed our stay in sea pines on Hilton head island. Rented bikes took us both,along with coco, our 12 year old shi zhu on paths thru natural forest,'nvvbgb preserves and impeccable manicured sea pines. The ocean paths led to the Atlantic where at low tide we enjoyed biking on the sand. Our whole visit we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the surroundings of nature. Indeed, a beautiful visit we have fond memories of forever.

Great Condo & Location
September 3, 2014
We stayed here over Labor Day weekend, just 2 adults and our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better location! Walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants, around the corner from Coligny. The Condo was well stocked and very well maintained, the bed was super comfortable! We'd definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends.

The information here is not correct - I had a 1 bedroom, 1 bath rental (perhaps you overcharged me????). I am very grateful for the pet friendly rental and it was extremely important to me. The rental was clean and had almost all of the items in the kitchen that I needed. I appreciate the amenities such as the paper towels, toilet paper, soap, and sheets. I accidentally locked myself out and the rental company responded almost immediately to help me out. I would rent this again! Loved the proximity to the beach and the access to lots of shaded walking trails.

We needed a last minute, dog-friendly rental for a family of 5. This fit the bill perfectly. The pool is around the corner (and a good size, with adjacent bathroom facilities); the beach is across the street; there is an outside shower at the home to wash off sandy feet (and paws). The community itself was very quiet, but close to everything. Coligny is minutes away by bike; Harbor Town is less than 30 minutes by bike. And we saw alligators every day in the neighborhood lagoon, which the kids loved.

Great pet friendly condo
April 2, 2014
This was a great townhouse rental (so no footsteps from other residents upstairs), and nicely updated. I liked the wood floors downstairs as I didn't have to worry about the dog ruining the carpet every time we walked in the door. It is only a block off the beach, within walking distance to Coligny shopping, movies, dining and grocery stores and of course the bike trails. I gave it a 4 because the neighbors smoke and it waifs through the vents. We also didn't like the shower head, but that wouldn't stop us from renting this condo next year.

My family of five plus three dogs found the house to be very roomy and accommodating. Allow yourself plenty of time to become familiar with Sea Pines and surrounding area prior to arriving. We stayed one week and didn't scratch the surface of Sea Pines. The home was very clean and well supplied with linens. Two screened porches were welcome retreats during the evenings. The owners have taken care to leave instructions and notes for every electronic and light switch. This was a very welcome change to hotel vacations. You will LOVE the two personal photos of the owner's dogs. As for the location of the home in relation to amenities, it is well placed. A lovely swimming pool is a two minute walk from the home. We found it took our family of five (plus dogs) about 15 minutes to reach the beach. Every step was covered by road, wood, or concrete walkway until beach edge. Please realize that although the home is newly renovated, it still retains certain 1970-80 architectural details. For one, the home is without a tub. The bathrooms are complete with medicine cabinet, stand up shower and toilet. We found the shower to be a bit of a challenge at first as they are on the small side. Second, the kitchen is also small but very well equipped for a single person operation. With all this said, we would not hesitate to stay here again. The management company was very polite and responsive. Sea Pines is a very family and pet friendly resort. We chose this home because it was pet friendly. We enjoyed the quiet cul-de-sac and location. Use the managing company's directions to get to the home. Explore the area and find that the home is much closer to the second, more South entrance on Sea Pines Drive. Have fun and enjoy your vacation!
Owner's reply:
Thanks Rebecca:
We appreciate your 4 star review. AND...
You will be happy to know that a TOTAL renovation is being done this winter. Enlarged guest room, an all new master bath with large tub and seperate shower plus granite counter tops surrounding tub and vanity, and with mosaic trim and carrera finishes. The master bedroom will have a walk-in closet, and the guest bedroom an all new bath and shower. Should be quite an upgrade. But you nailed the best stuff already. Thanks.

This place really works as a dog friendly Hilton Head spot,,about 10-15 min walk to the beach..and a beautiful part of the beach too..Dogs allowed until 10:00 am and after 5:00 pm..Only thing that kept this from being a 5 star spot is that the bathrooms were about the size of a single wide 's bathroom..no tub , and a shower that would not have worked if I was 6'3"..too small for two people to be in there at the same time
Owner's reply:
Thanks for the review. Yes, the bathrooms are too small. Making them larger and more in keeping with the remainder of the house (you didn't mention the all new furniture, modern lighting, slate flooring, custom granite counter et al) is to enlarge them. But with Sea Pines design review board needing to approve any plan for an exterior change, that is a major project.

Imagine.... if this were a nice rental
July 15, 2013
this was a very old house, not remodled at all! paint peeling off of the bathroom walls, old stove, teeny tiny washer/dryer combo. Good price, and we were lucky to get it on the holiday, but nothing to write home about. Only one person could fit in the kitchen at a time, the showers so small that if you dropped something you had to get out to have enough room to lean over and pick it up. We are grateful that they allowed our dogs, but this was definately NOT remodeled during my liftime!

NO Stay
September 9, 2012
We did not stay at the listed Sea Pines home, however; we did wish to stay for a shorter time and with family pet. The Vacation Home Rentals website listed an email to use for vacationers to request accommodations. The e-mail belonged to the owner who said that we can bring the pet but referred us back to the same website to schedule date/ time. Obviously, this was no help so we decided to stay somewhere else. Communication between vacationer, rental property website and homeowner should be looked into or you're going to continue to lose customers. Another obvious problem with website and management is the fact that you're sending me this review request. We did not stay at the property listed. We only inquired and left the inquiry disappointed.

DECC to close carbon offset accreditation scheme
Louise Bateman
23rd May 2011
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is to end the Government's carbon offsetting Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS) from next month.
revealed it was closing
in a letter to
carbon offset
retailers on Friday, citing "disappointingly low" take-up of the scheme as the main reason for the closure.
"From 30 June 2011, DECC will no longer fund the operation of the QAS for carbon offsetting," said a DECC spokersperson. "Since it launched, take-up of the QAS has been disappointingly low and DECC has been required to part-fund the scheme over the past year despite it being designed as self-financing. The carbon market has moved on substantially since the introduction of the QAS and we now believe it is for the market to set best practice for carbon offsetting."
Low take-up
The QAS launched in 2009 to give consumers and businesses an easy way to identify quality offsets, based on an accurate emission calculations and internationally approved
emissions reductions
credits. It has been assessed and approved by international sustainability consultancy, AEA Group.
However, the scheme, which was under review, has to date only attracted four carbon offset retailers to join it. It has also accredited offsets from handful of businesses, namely airlines British Airways and TAP Portugal and the International Air Transport Association. Energy company E.ON also uses the scheme.
Despite the low take up, however, those that have signed up to the scheme say it has helped tackle flaws in the carbon offsetting system and, uniquely, is the only third party standard that ensures credits have been 'retired' or cancelled, rather than just accrediting the offset method used.
Blow to retailers
Carbon Retirement, one of the retailers that has been accredited by QAS, described the announcement as "a real blow".
"The Quality Assurance Scheme is a guiding light for consumers in an incredibly crowded marketplace. With 18 separately run voluntary standards, and the risks in the offset market around lack of transparency and environmental effectiveness, the Quality Assurance Scheme had the potential to cut through the noise,' said Jane Burston, founder of Carbon Retirement, which offsets by removing pollution allowances from the European Union Emissions Trading System.
Burston blamed poor publicity of the scheme as a reason for the "disappointingly low take up" of QAS.
"The scheme was designed to be self-sustaining but has had very little public exposure since launch. It's disappointing that DECC has decided to cancel the scheme, instead of increasing its visibility and making the high-quality offsets it represents more accessible."
Limited resources
While the official version for the closure of the QAS, is low take-up of the scheme, it appears to have partly been precipitated by general cutbacks in DECC's delivery programme. In its letter to companies accredited by the scheme on Friday, DECC cited the need "to align limited resources with departmental priorities" as one reason for the closure. Last week, DECC also announced it would be ending core funding to the Carbon Trust and the Energy Saving Trust from next April, because of the "need to further prioritise public expenditure".
Despite an ongoing review into QAS, Burston told
the news of its closure was unexpected. "We knew the quality assurance scheme was under a general review but we thought it was about what kind of offsets would be covered, so it has come at huge surprise," she said.

One of the funniest characters in TF2 cant wait for the soldiers soundtrack and all the others in the future. Very good quality with the voice and i like how you added the theme song too.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wow! As soon as I started the video and seen the preloader and details on it then I knew it was a winner. I would say you and that user who made all those super street fighter IV soundboards make the best of these on newgrounds. Nice work and definitely do more!
Thanks a lot man! I've just had so much other stuff to do lately that I haven't had time for Flash, but I will do my best to eventually get all of these out! Thanks again!

When is solider coming?
I mean it when? I wanna see it right now :D
I've just been really busy lately - whenever I get some spare time I will make it. Thanks for your interest / the review though!

I've been looking for some TF2 soundboards for awhile, and this is just what I was looking for!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Excellent quality.
Excellent quality sound clips and very nice design. I'll be sure to check out all of your work and upcoming work. Stay cool. :P
A few problems:
On "Knee Caps" it ends very abruptly. You can easily fix that by cutting the end off.
The same thing with "Lotta good...gun" and "What are you lookin at?"
Thank you! And I apologize for the abruptness of those sounds stopping... will try to avoid that in the next one. Thanks for the review!

A facial plastic surgeon's photographic files are a potential storehouse
of learning material. Manual review of before-and-after photographs is time
consuming and self-limiting. Computers can facilitate the analysis, storage,
and review of photographs and thereby serve as an aid to learning from the
results of our surgery. This article describes a personal approach to automating
this process. The surgeon classifies the photographs, and the office staff
performs the typing and filing. As the speed and resources of computers rapidly
expand, this process will become faster, simpler, and more popular.

To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee
To Kill a Mockingbird Chapter 21 Summary
- The judge allows Cal to hand Atticus a note from Aunt Alexandra, which says that the kids are missing.
- Uh, they're in the balcony and have been there all afternoon.
- Atticus sends the kids home with Calpurnia, but after some strategic whining he agrees that they can come back once they've had their dinner.
- Aunt Alexandra is ready to faint from horror when she hears where they've been, but they head back anyway.
- Scout and Jem are surprised that hardly anyone has left—usually everyone heads out once the jury leaves to deliberate.
- Jem says that they've won the case, but the Reverend says that he's never seen a jury support an African-American man over a white one.
- The court audience waits patiently. For over three hours. Without a single piece of technology in sight.
- If you're wondering how people killed time before smartphones, they apparently slept a lot more: Scout dozes off, and when she wakes up she's thinking about the morning when Atticus shot the mad dog.
- Finally, it's time for the (unanimous) verdict: guilty.
- Atticus whispers something to Tom Robinson, packs up his papers, and leaves.
- As he walks down the aisle alone, the African-Americans in the balcony silently stand up to honor him.

What they seem to be saying is that the Obama campaign - or at least portions of it in TX - have taken the methods of Democratic machine politics used so effectively in in the old Jim Crow south and inner cities areas such as Chicago, Philadelphia, and NYC where they are expected, entrenched, and not commented upon, and pushed those methods out far and wide.
It is, I suppose, surprising in its audacity and hope that it will be unnoticed or tolerated. But Obama is nothing if not audacious.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano today announced the death of Lieutenant Richard A. Nappi of Engine Company 237, a 17-year veteran of the FDNY who suffered an apparent heart attack while battling a three-alarm fire this afternoon in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. Lieutenant Nappi, who lived in Suffolk County and leaves behind a wife and two children, was 47 years old.
At 1 p.m. today, Engine Company 237 responded to a fire in a two-story commercial building at 930 Flushing Avenue. Arriving with several additional companies within three minutes, Lieutenant Nappi led a team of firefighters who stretched and operated a hoseline in a mezzanine area of the first floor. While battling the fire, Lt. Nappi became overheated and collapsed. Firefighters from Ladder Company 112 removed him on a stretcher to the street where he initially was conscious and alert. He was placed in an ambulance and EMS personnel began to treat him when he suddenly became unconscious and suffered cardiac arrest. While EMT's and Paramedics continued to work on him, he was rushed by ambulance to Woodhull Hospital where he later died.
After his appointment to the FDNY on October 23, 1994, then-Firefighter Nappi worked in Engine Company 7 on Duane Street in lower Manhattan. Although he was off-duty on September 11, 2001, he responded from home that morning to the World Trade Center – which was several blocks from his firehouse. In 2003, he transferred to Engine Company 302 in Queens, and – after his promotion to Lieutenant on November 10, 2007, he was assigned to Engine 237.
Prior to joining the FDNY, Lieutenant Nappi was a Parole Officer for the New York State Division of Parole, and also worked for several years as a case worker for Suffolk's Department of Social Services.
He was a graduate of Iona College, where he received a BA in criminal justice in 1984.
In addition to his work as a member of FDNY, Lieut. Nappi also served as a volunteer firefighter and Deputy Chief Instructor with the Suffolk County Fire Academy in Yaphank.
Prior to joining the FDNY, he was a Parole Officer (1992-1994) for the NYS Division of Parole, and a case worker for the Suffolk County Department of Social Services (1987-1992).
Lieutenant Nappi is the 1,142nd firefighter to die in the line of duty since the FDNY's founding in 1865. The last member of the Department to die on the job was Firefighter Paul Warhola of Engine 221, on August 14, 2009.
Lieutenant Nappi is survived by his wife, Mary Anne, and their children Catherine, 12, and Nicholas, 11.

About seven years ago, Melissa Hahn of Wading River began to feel her knee twitching. Thinking it was stress-induced, she brushed it off and continued her job teaching orchestra at Longwood Junior High School.
But when the experienced violinist could not do a tremolo — a trembling effect while playing the instrument — she knew something was off. She saw several doctors over the course of three years and suspected she had dystonia, a neurological movement disorder, but it wasn't until she went to a movement disorders specialist in the city that she learned what exactly was wrong.
"Within an hour he told me, 'You definitely have Parkinson's,'" Hahn said.
At 32 years old, Hahn was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease, which involves the malfunction and death of neurons in the brain, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. Parkinson's causes a person to experience tremors throughout the body, slowed movement, limb stiffness and impaired balance. And only about 4 percent of people who have Parkinson's are diagnosed before the age of 50, the foundation reports.
Now 36, Hahn has learned to adjust to her disease. She can still play the violin and conduct the middle school orchestra — she is also the school's chair of the music, art and family and consumer sciences — but has explored other hobbies. Hahn took up an interest in photography shortly after her diagnosis and has not looked back. She takes several photography trips every year, has a membership with Nature and Wildlife Photographers of Long Island and a photo she took appears in PDF's 2013 Creativity and Parkinson's Calendar.

The Bond Market Is Saying Something Worrying About the Economy
Well, looky here, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note has tumbled to 2.16%, on track for its lowest closing yield since Aug. 10, at the height of last week's stock-market unpleasantness.
This is happening despite a new flood of investment-grade corporate bonds hitting the market today, from borrowers including Burlington Northern, Walt Disney and Northern Trust. No crowding out here.
And it's happening on a day when PPI data came in hotter than expected, getting people excited about the hyperinflation demon that is coming to eat us all. Typically such worries tend to get reflected in higher bond yields, but not today.
Maybe those worries are way overblown. In fact, the bond market seems to be pricing in something like a recession again, which would end our worries about inflation quick fast and in a hurry.
Writes Cynthia Lin:
Take away core-inflation levels from the current 10-year yield and you get the lowest returns since the fall of 2008, notes Anthony Valeri at LPL Financial. This real yield was at 0.6% recently, which reflects just how pessimistic the market is about growth in the US economy.
Curiously, the stock market doesn't seem to share the bond market's worries. Remember, when the 10-year Treasury yield was last at this level, the stock market was falling off a cliff with its hair on fire. Today, it's just gently rolling down the cliff.
If this counts as a disconnect between the two markets, then it wouldn't be the first time this month/year/decade. Every time so far, it has been settled in the bond market's favor.

Mask stayed in place while wearing it pretty well. The snout didn't hold its shape very well so I had to stuff it will polyester fill (used for pillows). After doing that, it kept its shape well and had positive comments.

392M - The History of Metaphysics: Substance and Causation in the Seventeenth Century
Thu 3:35-18:00
Eileen O'Neill, 364 Bartlett Hall
The focus of this seminar is the metaphysics that underlies seventeenth-century explanations of a range of natural phenomena, including bodily motion, sense perception, and non-sensory thought. We will examine various early modern responses to the questions: Is body able to cause sense experience in a mind?; Are bodies capable of causing motion in other bodies?; Is the production of sense experience explainable by the science of mechanism?; Can matter think all by itself?; "Is God the sole cause of our sensations?" The metaphysical views about substance and causation that we will study include the dualistic interactionism of Descartes and Astell, the qualified dualistic interactionism of Locke and More, the occasionalist dualism of Malebranche and Norris, and the vitalist monisms of Conway and Cavendish. Texts include The Philosophical Writings of Descartes, Volumes I and II (Cambridge); Nicolas Malebranche: Philosophical Selections (Hackett); Anne Conway, The Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy (Cambridge), Margaret Cavendish, Observations upon Experimental Philosophy, as well as a course packet with photocopies of selections from Descartes' correspondence with Princess Elisabeth, Astell's Letters Concerning the Love of God and The Christian Religion, Locke's Essay and correspondence with Stillingfleet, and Cavendish's Philosophical Letters. Prerequisites: one course in philosophy. Requirements: This class will be conducted as a seminar. This means that the instructor will not typically give a lecture; instead all seminar members will meet once a week for 2 1/2 hours to discuss the readings. Each student will be asked to do several seminar presentations, and several short papers - some on assigned topics. When presenting material to the seminar, students should make copies for all class members of a handout outlining the structure of the arguments to be discussed, and the main questions and problems that the material raises.
394P - Seminar: Personal Identity
Wed 3:35-6:00
Lynne Baker, Bartlett 366.
This seminar will focus on recent work on personal identity: under what conditions is a person in a primary-school picture the same person as you years later? We shall read contemporary articles by philosophers such as Bernard Williams, Robert Nozick, Derek Parfit, David Lewis, Ernest Sosa, Peter Unger, John Perry, Sydney Shoemaker and others. Texts: Personal Identity, a collection of essays edited by Raymond Martin and John Barresi (2003) and other recent articles. Course requirements: Short paper, term paper, class presentation(s).Prerequisites: At least 3 courses in philosophy or permission of the instructor.
550 - Theory of Knowledge
Hilary Kornblith, 360 Bartlett
Some beliefs are justified; others are not. What is it that marks the difference? What conditions must be satisfied if a belief is to be justified? The available views about justification may be divided into two types: internalist and externalist. Roughly, internalists believe that the conditions which must be satisfied for a belief to be justified are, in some sense, internal to the agent: for example, on one such view, they must be available to introspection. Externalists disagree: the factors which make a belief justified need not be entirely internal. We will examine this debate in detail. Required texts: BonJour and Sosa, Epistemic Justification: Internalism vs. Externalism, Foundations vs. Virtues; Kornblith, ed., Epistemology: Internalism and Externalism. Additional readings will be made available. Prerequisites: Three courses in philosophy or permission of instructor. Requirements: One short (5-7 page) paper and one longer (12-15 page) paper.
594C - Consciousness
Tue 4:00-6:30
Joe Moore (Amherst College)
We will start by discussing various consciousness-based obstacles to physicalism, including Jackson's "knowledge argument" and Levine's "explanatory gap" considerations. This will lead us to an investigation of recent attempts to understand consciousness in terms of higher-order thought, and, more generally, to regard the phenomenal, qualitative features of conscious experience as thoroughly representational. Along the way we will consider whether we should distinguish different notions of consciousness, whether there is a "unity" of conscious experience, and whether we should regard introspection as a perceptual faculty like vision? Requirements: one short paper, a final term paper, and presentations. Prerequisites: 3 courses in philosophy or consent of instructor.
594O - Ontological Commitment
TuTh 2:30-4:00

Ontology is that part of metaphysics that asks what fundamental sorts of thing exist: do mathematical objects such as numbers exist? Intensional objects such as meanings? Fictional objects? Merely possible objects? In this course, we will examine various criteria of ontological commitment, criteria meant to establish what sorts of thing we do, or should, believe exists. Authors will probably include Quine, Putnam, Field, Dummett, and Wright. Requirements: about five short papers, a term paper, and a class presentation. Prerequisites: two previous philosophy courses or consent of instructor.
594S - Formal Semantics
by arrangement
Gary Hardegree, Bartlett 363
We usually understand novel sentences - e.g., this one - with little or no hesitation. How do we accomplish this? According to the received opinion, our linguistic knowledge divides into two modules - roughly, words and rules - which in turn correspond respectively to Lexical Grammar and Compositional Grammar. The present course concerns Compositional Semantics - the study of how the meanings of compound expressions are derived from the meanings of their parts. We pursue this enterprise within the framework of Categorial Grammar - more specifically, within the framework of Type-Logical Grammar. Topics will include: set theory, type theory, lambda-calculus, categorial syntax and semantics, type-logical syntax and semantics. Prerequisite: graduate status, or consent of the instructor. Requirements: homework assignments.

CHARLESTON - With spring here and blacktopping weather right around the corner, road maintenance was the chief topic for Mississippi County commissioners during their regular meeting Thursday.
Presiding Commissioner Jim Blumenberg asked the district commissioners to get an estimate of how many miles of blacktop work will be needed in their half of the county. "We've got a lot of blacktop trouble," he said. "If we don't address these roads this year, we're going to lose them (by) next year."
Discussion then turned toward the chip-and-seal process which commissioners believe will be more cost effective.
Last year, the county was able to do about nine miles of cold-mix blacktop at a cost of $80,000-$90,000. Commissioner Homer Oliver said they should be able to cover more miles per dollar using the chip-and-seal method and suggested they should pick a road, patch it real well, and see how it works.
"I'd like to see us do a road," said Blumenberg. "If it works out, it could save us a lot of money."
The county still needs a rubber tired pneumatic roller and a sweeper before they would be able to use the method they have in mind, although they agreed a new oil distributor could wait. "Our old distributor will put out more oil than we can buy," said Oliver.
Blumenberg suggested buying a roller and asking the Missouri Department of Transportation to lend the county their little-used sweeper. "We do a lot of work for the state," Blumenberg said.
Whether the county uses cold mix or the chip-and-seal method, "the emphasis has got to be on the patching," Oliver said, recommending they address holes that are even as small as an inch deep. "But if you don't address it, it's going to be a mess."
Blumenberg also said there are gravel roads on the northern half of the county that need more gravel on them. "They all need some rock," Oliver agreed.
In other Mississippi County commissioner business:
* Commissioner Martin Lucas reported on a National Institute of Corrections workshop he attended recently with Sheriff Larry Turley and jail administrator Don Chance.
Lucas said they learned about alternative funding for jails such as grants and that the national average cost of housing prisoners in county jails is $50 a day.
The correlation between methamphetamine use and dental costs for jails was discussed as well, Lucas said, as Arkansas officials are seeing their methamphetamine problem grow.
Commissioners recalled they hardly ever had to schedule dental appointments for prisoners until the last few years. "Now we have two or three dental appointments per week because their teeth are rotting out," said Lucas.
Lucas said other officials at the workshop were impressed with the way Chance is able to keep costs down at the county jail.
"He came from a nursing home facility," Lucas said. He said Chance brought with him from his previous experience the idea of monitoring the cost per prisoner per day.
Lucas said they were also advised that the county's number-one priority - mandated by the Constitution - is to ensure public safety with an adequate jail.
* Commissioners accepted the low bid from Anderson Computer of Charleston of $1,030 for software for the assessor's Novell server.
Also bidding were Integrated Computer Systems of East Prairie and Charleston, which offered the software for $1,650, and Microcomputer Services of Scott City, which priced the software at $1,035.
* Blumenberg suggested putting yellow ribbons on the courthouse columns to show support for U.S. soldiers.
* Officials discussed killing off the Bermuda grass between the sidewalk and curb in front of the courthouse and reseeding it or laying sod.

This study predicts the impact of climate change on African agriculture. We use a generalized linear model (GLM) framework to estimate the relationship between the proportion of various Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZs) in a district and climate. Using three climate scenarios, we project how climate change will cause AEZs to shift, causing changes in acreage and net revenue per hectare of cropland. Our results predict that Africa will suffer heavy annual welfare losses by 2070–2100, ranging between US$14 billion and US$70 billion, depending on the climate scenario and cropland measure considered.

Fortuna Threatens to Leave Czech Republic if Gambling Tax Stays in Place
The steady stream of tax increases implemented by the Czech government of right-leaning Prime Minister Petr Necas is facing more criticism and could lead to companies that currently pay taxes domestically offshoring to tax havens.
This time at issue is a new tax on Czech-based companies that run betting shops and online betting operations, implemented in Jan. 2012 as part of Mr. Necas' efforts to comply with European Union rules to reduce the country's fiscal deficit to no more than 3% of gross domestic product next year from slightly higher than 3% last year.
Companies that take bets on sport events, political elections and the like must now pay a whopping 20% tax on gross wins on top of a corporate income tax of 19%.
This new Czech rate is just shy of double the 12% rate in Poland and nearly quadruple the 5.5% tax on gross wins in Slovakia.
"In all countries where we operate there are special gaming taxes," said Michal Veprek, Chief Financial Officer of Fortuna Entertainment Group NV, the largest central European betting operator with operations in the three countries mentioned above.
"On the other hand, it's fair to said that we paid in more than 4 million euro in taxes in the first half of the year, while offshore operators doing business in the Czech Republic paid nothing," Mr. Veprek said.
Of Fortuna's overall tax bill, roughly 2.5 million euro ($3.1 million) was the tax on gross wins alone, Fortuna's Chairman Wilf Walsh said Wednesday.
"The tax issue raises a question of how resilient this business is," Mr. Walsh said, noting that in the first six months of 2012 the company posted a 15% annual increase in gross wins and a 10% annual increase in revenue from bets and lottery. Despite those gains, net profit fell 35% on year largely due to the gambling tax.
Fortuna has established Maltese operations and is ready to switch to an offshore registration. Mr. Walsh said that by moving to a tax haven, which he said is not the company's preferred option, it would lead to a lower tax bill and would protect shareholder value while increasing the probable dividend payout.
"If the situation doesn't improve by the next Annual General Meeting of shareholders,we [will] propose to shareholders to move…operations to Malta," he said.
The next AGM will likely take place between April and July of 2013, said Klara Klimova, Fortuna's investor relations consultant.
Fortuna also runs a shell company in Hungary to have an offshore platform closer to home, Mr. Veprek added.
"In case taxation worsens, we have a safe haven where to move," he said.
The threat to leave the country resembles the steady decline in sale of diesel fuel at Czech filling stations over the past 24 months due to a high excise tax on the fuel that has lead to truckers filling up in neighboring countries.
Mr. Necas this week said either additional elements of his tax increase program–centered on a one percentage point increase to value-added tax rates and an increase to the income tax on high wage earners–will be approved by parliament or he'll step down.
Economist Petr Sklenar of J&T Bank in Prague said the increases to value-added taxes, the European equivalent of U.S. sales taxes, will eventually lead to higher tax revenues, but also said that high excise taxes on motor fuels and increased tax burdens on corporates is counterproductive in both the short and long run.
Unlike consumers, which by and large eventually have to shop in their country of residence, companies can register in tax havens just like truckers can select in which country they'll refuel.
"Corporate tax hikes don't work. Companies change their behavior, optimize the tax burden, and the final effect on tax revenues is significantly lower than predicted," Mr. Sklenar said.
