Tedesco et al1 put forward a cogent argument for offering laparoscopic antireflux surgery to patients regardless of age. Their retrospective review of their own large database reveals some interesting and pertinent trends, including the finding that elderly patients (defined as those ≥65 years) were more likely to experience symptoms of regurgitation and cough than were younger patients. These symptoms do not respond as well to medical management as does the symptom of heartburn, so surgery is particularly appealing in this group. The authors assert that laparoscopic antireflux surgery is as safe in elderly patients as in the younger population, but is that correct? The outcomes reported in this article, including resolution of preoperative complaints, intraoperative complications, and postoperative complications of urinary retention, myocardial infarction, pneumonia, wound infection, and pleural effusion, were similar between age groups. Although the authors note that no patient in either group required admission to a skilled nursing facility after discharge, they do not specifically comment on cognitive function. We know that one quarter of patients 65 years or older experience delirium during hospitalization,2 and there is strong suspicion that this number underestimates the true rate.3 The long-term sequelae of postoperative delirium can be significant. If we extrapolate from the medical population, only one third of patients who experience delirium in the hospital will still live independently in the community 2 years later.4 Other studies have shown that the only predictor of postoperative cognitive dysfunction is age.5 As surgeons, we may be guilty of ascribing a little postoperative confusion to narcotics and preexisting mild dementia. If we do not look for it and define it as a postoperative complication, we may do our older patients a disservice. A higher degree of attention to postoperative mental changes and their long-term effects is needed before we can declare laparoscopic antireflux surgery to be as safe in elderly patients as in the younger population.

A man has brought a High Court action aimed at having what he says is his gold Rolex watch rightfully returned to him.
The action has been brought by Mr John Connors, a member of the Travelling Community, whom the court heard that the Rolex was purchased in London by his mother for £4,000 sterling cash in 2009.
It was initially given as a gift to Mr Connors' father, who subsequently passed it on to his son.
Last March, the watch was taken from Mr Connors by the gardaí after his vehicle was stopped and searched. Lawyers acting on his behalf then filed an application to have the watch returned to him.
Earlier this month, when the matter came before Dublin District Court, Mr Connors said evidence was given on behalf of the gardaí that no Rolex fitting the description and serial number of the watch in question had been reported stolen on the Garda PULSE system.
Mr Connors also produced a receipt and contact details of the person from whom the watch was purchased. However, Judge Victor Blake, who heard the case, made an order forfeiting the property to the State.
Mr Connors claims that in making the order Judge Blake erred in law.
He also claims that the judge acted in excess of his jurisdiction, on grounds including that no evidence was given that the owner of the watch was a person other than Mr Connors, and there was no evidence before the court to suggest Mr Connors acquired the watch by unlawful means.
Today at the High Court, Michael O'Higgins, SC for Mr Connors, of The Villas, Blessington Road, Tallaght, Dublin 24, said from the evidence put before the District Court his client was entitled to a presumption of ownership.
It was clear from the evidence put before Judge Blake that Mr Connors had the best claim to the watch, and that there was no competing interest for the property.
In his proceedings against Judge Blake the Garda Commissioner, Ireland and the Attorney General, Mr Connors is seeking an order quashing the forfeiture of the Rolex watch to the State under the 1897 Police Property Act, and an order directing the gardaí to return the watch to him.
He is also seeking a number of declarations that provisions of the 1897 Police Property Act are repugnant to the 1937 Constitution.
Mr Connors is further seeking damages for breaches of his constitutional rights and rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.
In an affidavit to the court, Mr Connors' solicitor Michelle Sheeran said the watch was taken from him last March after a member of the gardaí saw him pass it to another person in the vehicle.
He did this because as a member of the Travelling Community he previously had bad experiences involving the seizure of property by the gardaí.
This was denied by the gardaí, however, the affidavit adds.
Permission to bring the action was granted, on an ex-parte basis, by Mr Justice Michael Peart. The matter was made returnable to a date in January.

Red tide killing manatees in record numbers
174 manatees have died since January
A major red tide issue is killing manatees along Florida's west coast in alarming and record numbers.
Experts said the toxic algae in the water between Sarasota and Fort Myers is killing as many as 10 manatees a day.
Officials said 174 manatees have died since January. The record for manatee deaths in one entire year was 151.
The toxic algae gets into the food supply for the sea cows making them so listless, they don't surface to breathe. Other signs include lack of coordination and stability in the water, muscle twitches and seizures.
Sick sea cows have been taken to a Tampa Zoo to be treated.
Caretakers have to keep the manatee's heads out of the water so they can breathe.
Manatees are listed as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

CityU, Ocean Park Conservation Foundation jointly study grounded whale
Mavis Wong
Page Content
The body of a whale grounded earlier in Hong Kong is being handled jointly by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and Ocean Park Conservation Foundation Hong Kong (OPCFHK).
CityU's cross-disciplinary research team will consider the possibility of making a specimen of it for scientific studies and teaching.
Experts at CityU's School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) actively assist local and international veterinary medical cases. After hearing that help was required, CityU immediately contacted the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department of the HKSAR Government about assisting in the handling of the 11-metre whale carcass found earlier at a beach in Hung Shek Mun, Tai Po. The CityU team was dispatched to conduct an inspection.
Dr Howard Wong Kai-hay
, Executive Director of CityU's Life Sciences Programmes, said it was rare for a whale to ground on a local shore. The body of the whale is particularly important for scientific studies and teaching because of its record length.
CityU decided to take part in handling the dead body, aiming to foster local citizens' knowledge in related discipline through veterinary medical studies. However, the huge size of the carcass, and the wounds on the body, means that CityU's research team would need time to consider all factors in treating the body, according to Dr Wong.
CityU will work closely with OPCFHK to perform related studies. OPCFHK's Cetacean Stranding Response Team will send the whale's skin tissues to the US and Japan for DNA testing in order to verify the species.
CityU's SVM fosters the social development of Hong Kong. Since its establishment, members of the general public in Hong Kong have filed several enquiries about various issues such as the SVM's curriculum and treatment for animals. In response, CityU's veterinary medicine team has offered professional advice and assistance.

Natural Thinking Machine
A Computer (or, perhaps, a computer program) that can "learn" by itself. Often implemented using
Does a NTM have to "learn" toward an objective? How do you measure what it has learned? What are good learning programs?
One of the foundations of
Along with ...?
What qualifies a computer as a machine that can "learn" by itself?
Prioritization of seeking knowledge toward a specific objective
Flexibility to utilize ancillary knowledge when objectives change
The ability to juxtapose tidbits of knowledge to raise curiosity for exploring new avenues
Well, at the moment machines can't really "learn" by themselves. There are three general approaches to machine learning:
And each of these has various algorithms for accomplishing the task. But this is more in the nature of
than what you would call a parallel to HumanLearning
There are also learning methods that learn concepts instead of numbers; e.g.,
is a sort of concept-based learning method.
NTMs are more commonly called
. Educational psychology offers a vast literature on NTM learning, especially assessment, and instructional design (e.g. setting learning objectives).
The only other mention I see of this phrase is from an article in Europhysics News talking about artificial intelligence. I suspect they are referring to
I read that article too... rather interesting. It prompted me to write an essay about Machine Curriculum (on my web site). --
What is the difference between "teaching" a machine that can learn and "programming" that machine? Would we eventually hire "computer teachers" with a different skill set than programmers to sit down with the
and give it lessons?
I think one important difference between programming and learning is that a teacher makes the assumption that the student is an intelligent agent: the student can generalize from examples, occasionally ask questions, and can tolerate some noise in the instruction. A prime example is natural language: people can learn it, but so far no-one has programmed (or taught) a computer enough natural language to speak it fluently.
Let us here make a some quickly composed points about some combinations of the three words. Aside from the fact that the title is probably an oxymoron, it is worthwhile to examine what is implied by the usage of these three words. Taken two at a time:
Natural Thinking
To think naturally, one must exist naturally.
Since machines are manufactured, not born, they are unnatural.
To think naturally, one must have internal pattern matching and processing capabilities which are unrestrained.
Since machines are designed, not internally evolutionary, they have workings that are limited and restricted.
Machine Thinking
To think as a machine, one must be a machine.
Machines have no being apart from their manufactured content.
To think as a machine, on must be capable of thinking
Since thought in a machine must be defined and enabled from without, thinking capabilities in a machine do not exist.
Thinking Machine
Machines receive, manipulate, transfer, store, transmit.
Such transactions cannot be construed as thinking.
Machines perform or manipulate bits based on programmed instructions whose existence and operations have been designed.
Thought is adaptive, generative, free, and not subject to designed restrictions.
Natural Machine
There are some natural machines, which are intricate and exhibit complicated operations.
Such machines are not operationally controlled by thought, but by the rules of natural chemistry and physics.
In a sense the universe is a machine which contains both objects which are animated and inanimated, which can be said to have life, or not to have life. The animated or moving non-alive parts of the machine are not in motion by thought, but by initialized and physically deterministic movements.
Now taking all three together
-- It does not and cannot exist unless it has a life, and no such machines are presently in production, and if they were, they would no longer be machines.
The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.

OC3D @ i51 the finale
Page 1
Published: 24th April 2014 | Source: OC3D |
Part 3 of our trip around Insomnia 51
In the last part of our look around the fun and games to be had at the Insomnia festival we'll bring you all the bits and bobs that we couldn't squeeze into their own article. Pictures tell the majority of the story, as they should.
Although it obviously isn't true, it seemed that every laptop we saw at i51 was an MSI one. They're like salted caramel, you hadn't seen any and then you blink and can't move for it. Plenty of vendors had things for sale to keep you gaming into the small hours. There will never been a more targeted audience than at a gaming convention.
Microsoft were there with their Xbox One. Hardly the most eye-catching stand, but it has the benefit of portability. We're still waiting for a killer title.
Everywhere you looked there were clusters of people blowing each other to tiny bits. If you were a personal trainer with a speciality in good posture you'd have to be carried out with despair. Look after your back guys and gals.
We'll happily confess that our fandom has no limits, and we could have happily spent the whole weekend picking through stands like this. Who doesn't want an Adventure Time/MineCraft poster?

WARREN - More than 170 people joined United Way of Trumbull County at the Eastwood Field in Niles Wednesday to kick off the 2014 fundraising campaign. The thermometer that keeps track of progress shows that $165,269 already is raised toward the campaign goal of $900,000.
Following the kickoff, nearly 100 volunteers from 11 businesses and organizations fanned out into the community to provide yard maintenance for senior citizens as part of United Way at Work Day.
"Yard maintenance not only provides a needed service to the senior, but also positively impacts the entire neighborhood," said Ginny Pasha, president of United Way of Trumbull County.

Mayor Doug Franklin, left, and businessman John Guarnieri work on landscaping, trimming and pulling weeds at a home off Highland Avenue in Warren on Wednesday as part of the United Way's ''United Way at Work.'' Volunteers spent part of the day helping local senior citizens at their homes.
Sites were chosen through United Way member Area Agency on Aging 11.
"United Way funds many programs throughout the community, but partnerships with Area Agency on Aging 11 and others allow seniors to stay in the community they built,'' Pasha said.
''United Way at Work is another way that United Way of Trumbull County can give back to our community and we appreciate the volunteers who have given their time to help our senior citizens."
Mayor Doug Franklin, John Guarnieri, a former United Way board member, and their crew helped a resident on Highland Avenue. Guarnieri said the team weeded and trimming the resident's flower garden since she was not able to do the work.
''We had volunteers from Trumbull and Mahoning counties,'' he said.
Lisa Solley of the Area Agency on Aging 11 said, "We are pleased to work with United Way of Trumbull County to help older adults. The community benefits through partnerships like this."
Volunteers from the American Red Cross delivered water to the teams at the worksites throughout the morning.
Companies and organizations that provided volunteers for the day included the General Motors Corp. Lordstown Complex, RTI, Trumbull Memorial Hospital, Mercy Health Systems, Emery Financial Group, Seven Seventeen Credit Union, the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, the Albert Guarnieri Company, and the City of Warren.
Donald Emerson, United Way of Trumbull County chairman of the board, said the money already in comes from Pacesetters companies and United Way funded partners who completed their campaigns early.
"We are well on our way to a successful campaign that will allow United Way of Trumbull County to help meet the health and human service needs of Trumbull County," Emerson said.
The United Way of Trumbull County Campaign Leadership Team's team approach will allow members who have influence within campaign divisions to work together for a successful campaign, Emerson said.
Members of the Campaign Leadership Team are Gary Steinbeck, retired United Steelworkers sub-district director; John Walsh, CEO of Trumbull Memorial Hospital; Julie Vugrinovich with Howard Hanna Real Estate; Sue Datish, a retired educator and community investment volunteer; Jim Whetstone, last year's campaign chairman and owner of Warren Toyota; and John Taylor of Paige and Byrnes Insurance.
The United Way of Trumbull County, founded in 1923, is a nonprofit organization that serves local human needs with planning, allocation and fundraising activities.

George Li was 15 when he played Chopin's First Piano Concerto with the Cleveland Orchestra and won the Cooper International Competition. It included $10,000, a full four-year scholarship to the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and concerto performance opportunities in Beijing and Shanghai.
That was in 2010. Since then he has gathered speed. In November, he aced the National Concert Artists Auditions, garnering new national accolades.
Today, as part of that prize, he is giving a free recital on the Buffalo Chamber Music Society's Gift to the Community series. For his recital, which takes place in the Mary Seaton Room of Kleinhans Music Hall, Li is playing Beethoven's "Moonlight" and "Waldstein" Sonatas as well as the Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor by Chopin (the sonata with the famous Funeral March).
He is also playing two pieces by Liszt, the Consolation No. 3 and the Concert Paraphrase on Verdi's opera "Rigoletto."
It is quite a program. Li is up to it. Already, he is an old hand at concert situations.
"I don't really get that nervous," he says. "I just feel this anxiety to play, I feel like I want to play. Like, the day before, I'm already feeling the adrenaline on stage. I try to be in the music-making mode. I try to think about what the composer wants in the specific piece of music. I try to enter that world, I guess."
Li speaks sweetly and earnestly. There is something poignant about it.
The image of the young Asian pianist is practically a cliché. The phenomenon predates Lang Lang and Yundi Li, another acclaimed Chinese pianist. Vladimir Horowitz, who died in 1989, used to joke about the endless parade of pianists from the East. And the wave shows no sign of ending.
Asian-Canadian pianist Ryan Wang, just 5 years old, recently made his Carnegie Hall debut, in the Weill Recital Hall of the fabled musical landmark. No fewer than five Chinese pianists are among the finalists for this year's Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, taking place later this spring.
People have attributed the proliferation of Asian pianists to the strong work ethic associated with that ethnic group, plus the strict discipline of Asian parents – a trait publicized in the recent best-seller "The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother."
But Li's story suggests that the roots of the phenomenon run deeper than that.
"I'm quite strict, but I don't think I'd be as strict as tiger," laughs his mother, Katie Li. "Not too extreme, let them have their choice, but I try to guide them toward what's good. We always eat together. We talk about things. I guess I tell them about what I really like, by and by some of that value systems slip into them."
She grows more pensive, though, discussing the life in China that she left behind.
She and her husband, Jian, grew up during China's repressive and violent Cultural Revolution, which created chaos and led to many people's torture and deaths.
"Nobody in my city had the money to buy a piano, let alone own one," she says. "They didn't allow music on radio. During the Cultural Revolution it was considered something that would corrupt your soul. The Cultural Revolution was a disaster. For 10 years, you were not allowed to go to school."
Her husband, she adds, had to stop playing the violin because he was forced to go into the country and work on a farm. "We wasted all our youth."
It is easy to imagine that they were not going to let their son waste his.
It makes sense, in view of Katie Li's memories, that love of music – a music once brutally forbidden to them – is what has propelled so many Asians to the high echelons of the classical music world.
Her son does not sound on the phone like a hothouse musician. He has a quiet sense of humor. His parents, for all their vigilance, were not able to prevent him from catching the American bad habit of peppering his sentences with the word "like." Perhaps nervous being interviewed, he often uses the word multiple times in one sentence.
He talks about music with genuine enthusiasm, complete with a teenage twist. Unable to see very far into the past, he attributes the wave of Asian pianists to superstar Lang Lang.
"There are eras of piano, for example like, 80 years ago, 60 years ago, you had like Van Cliburn who was really big, and I think a lot of Americans were playing a lot of piano and classical music," he says. "Then it moves to Russia, then it went to Korea, and now it's moved to China. Especially with the rise of Lang Lang, a lot of Chinese people have been inspired to take a similar path, to try to win competitions, to gain that kind of stardom. His rise has inspired a lot of Chinese people to take up classical music and to learn more about piano, and so like everyone learns piano in China now."
Li was born here, and began playing as a boy.
"I was like 4 and a half," he says. "My parents love listening to classical music. When I was young, my mom would take me to a lot of concerts in Boston. I listened to the classical radio station. At night, going to bed, I'm like being constantly exposed to classical music, being surrounded by it. I guess I just went along with it."
He looked up to the Russian prodigy Evgeny Kissin, now 41.
"It was pretty funny, 'cause like, when I was little, I like idolized Kissin," he says. "One of the recordings was him playing the 'Moonlight' sonata. Every time I listened to it, I'd go like – I guess my jaw would drop. Now I'm still honored to, like, play the same piece.
"I don't really get that nervous, I just feel this anxiety to play, I feel like I want to play before … like, let's see, like, the day before, I'm already feeling the adrenaline on stage, I guess I just try to think about the music more, like, when I get a little anxious to play, I try to be in the music-making mode, I try to think about what the composer wants in the specific piece of music. I try to enter that world, I guess."
Sacrifices must be made. Li hates that he can't play baseball. It has to stay a spectator sport. "Sometimes I go out and shoot some hoops," he says. He laughs, self-conscious.
It is rigorous, the life he has chosen. "During school days, I practice four hours a day," he says. "Weekends and holidays I practice seven or eight." He practices more, he adds, when a competition is coming up.
And competitions will be coming up. Li looks forward to the Van Cliburn Competition some day. "And the Tchaikovsky Competition," he adds.
Though competitions have drawbacks, he keeps an open mind. "If you think about them as a way of learning, a learning experience, it's like useful," Li says. "You can learn a lot about how the other people play. At the same time, like a competition, like, I feel there's some supposed way of playing that you have to mesh with. If you don't do it, you won't like win or something. If you think of it as a personal learning experience, and try to express what you think, it's just, like, a win-win situation."
And piano, to him, is all about a bigger thing, called life.
"I think playing music isn't just about locking yourself in a practice room. It's also about experiencing other things," he says. "Being able to experience life in general, having a good education, learning from other cultures. I guess all this can impact how well you can make music.
"I feel it's important to have other interests. I have interest in reading, I read a lot of things, like novels, newspapers and stuff. I read 'The Life of Pi.' " He laughs. "That was cool."

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
WWUH 35th Anniversary
On Saturday evening, November 15, 2003, over one hundred people got together to celebrate WWUH's 35th Anniversary. The party was held in the University of Hartford's 1877 Club, directly above the WWUH studios in the Harry Jack Gray Center on the university's West Hartford campus.
The evening festivities kicked off when WWUH founder Clark Schmidt took the podium. Clark, who is now a radio programming consultant, was a student in 1968 when WWUH first went on the air and was the person responsible for spearheading the radio station project at U of H. He was able to pull together a large group of students who would become the people who actually put WWUH on the air. Clark, who was the station's first General Manager, spoke for twenty minutes about what it was like to be involved with the "birth" of a radio station, and mentioned how proud he was with the way the station had turned out.
The night's next speaker was WWUH's current station manager and Chief Engineer, John Ramsey. John spoke about WWUH's history of excellence and the wonderful legacy that Clark and the thousands of volunteers who have kept the station on the air over the years have left. "Who would have thought in 1968, when the station first went on the air, that localism would be all but gone from the radio dial 35 years later, and the public's trust of the electronic media would be at an all time low."
Steve Berian (class of 1979) followed John at the lectern and, along with Clark Schmidt, announced the creation of a WWUH Scholarship Fund that will help ensure the future of the station.
Susan Mullis, the station's current Development Director, presented John Ramsey with a plaque honoring him for twenty five years of service as WWUH's Chief Engineer.
Over sixty present and former staff members were present for the event, including four former WWUH General Managers: Clark Schmidt ('69), Judy Corcoran ('73), Patty Kurlychek ('80) and Dale Maine ('81).

STEPHENVILLE, Texas - It stands there alien in this world of Cowboys.
Planted off Route 377, just a football throw from one of the many ranches that dot the Lone Star landscape, is a billboard as unfamiliar in these parts as the sight of a UFO in Philadelphia.
The idea behind the sign is not foreign in this football-crazed state. It proudly celebrates a hometown boy - a quarterback, no less - who made it all the way to the NFL.
Splashed across the top of the standard-size billboard are the words, "Welcome to Stephenville." And just below and to the right: "Home of Kevin Kolb."

Concerning Revelation and the Bible
4/96, soc.religion.christian: Reply to Hedgehog
In a recent post, I asked Darryl Ochsner: "What does it mean to say
that a collection of documents as rich and diverse as those found in the
Bible claims to be the Word of God?" To which Hedgehog replied:
>Why does a single author vs a multiple authorship change any of the
>issues? Let's say that I write a book all by myself (i.e. no human
>collaborators). Isn't it still possible that a) none of it is inspired
>by God b) that some but not all is inspired by God c) that every word of
>it was inspired by God? I just don't see how the multiple authors of the
>Bible disprove its inspiration. Perhaps Mr. Talbott would care to expand
>on this issue.
Thanks for your comment and for your question, Hedgehog. I quite agree
with your statement of the three possibilities in a), b), and c), but you
have, I think, misunderstood my question. I was not asking what it might
mean to say that the Bible
the Word of God, and I certainly had no
intention of trying to "disprove its inspiration." Merely asking a
question could hardly
anything. I was asking instead what it
might mean to say that the Bible as a whole
to be the Word of
God. What would it mean to say that the Bible as a whole claims anything
For any collection of texts and sources, one possibility is that, despite
multiple authors and voices, God has inspired every word of every
utterance in the collection (assuming, of course, that we have given
sense to the idea of inspiration). But if a rich and diverse collection
of texts is put together and one of the texts claims inspiration for
itself, in what sense has the collection as a whole claimed inspiration?
And if text A claims inspiration for texts B, C, and D, but does not
claim inspiration for itself, the same question arises again: In what
sense has the collection as a whole claimed inspiration for itself? You
see the point. If you have a rich variety of texts and sources, one
possibility, as you point out yourself, is that God has inspired some of
them in a special way but not all of them. So what would it mean to
say that the collection as a whole claims inspiration for itself? What
text or source speaks for the collection as a whole, particularly if the
collection is put together well after the individual pieces were written?
More specifically, what text in the Bible speaks for the Bible as a
10/9/96, Society of Christian Philosophers: Reply to Steve Cowan
Hello Steve. Fancy meeting you in this discussion group! I trust that
all is well and, in particular, that your dissertation is going well. At
the risk of getting myself sucked into a discussion that I have little
time to pursue right now, I thought I would raise a couple of questions.
In response to Wes, you recently wrote:
> Of course, Paul and I would deny your second premise, to wit, that God is

I presume that by "Scripture" you mean the collection of writings
contained in the Bible (as opposed, for example, to the Qur'an). So here
are my questions.
(1) Where in the Bible do you find the claim that God imputes Adam's sin
to newborn babies?
(2) If the Bible did include such a claim and did insist upon the
justice of such imputation, why would you regard it as more reliable in
this matter than Wes' intuitions?
I fully appreciate that you may already have addressed such questions
previously. If so, then you might just direct me to where you have
addressed them, or you might send me an e-mail copy. Thanks.

In my most recent post on inherited guilt, I took up Steve's reply to the
first question, but not his reply to the second. So here I propose to
take up his reply to the second. Steve wrote:
> I certainly agree with Wes that our moral intuitions are important guides

Hello again, Steve:
The difficulty I have with the above paragraph is two-fold. First, the
question I have asked does not concern the reliability of our intuitions
in general, nor does it concern our competence in "assessing our own
moral worth"; it concerns only the reliability of Wes' specific
intuition--the widespread intuition--that it would be unjust to impute
the guilt of Adam's sin to newborn infants. So if Paul did teach such a
doctrine, as I have already argued he did not, then the question we would
have to consider is this: Why should we regard Paul's teaching in this
matter as more reliable than Wes' intuition? Or put it this way: Why
not regard Wes' intuition as a more reliable source of revelation than
Paul in this matter? (How about "Prophet Wes"? It has kind of a nice
ring to it, doesn't it?)
Second, consider more closely your statement that "if we have good reason
to believe that the Bible is the Word of God (and I think we do) . . .,"
then our intuitions must take a back seat to the teaching of Scripture."
Isn't that merely redundant? If we have good reason to believe that
Paul's teaching on some matter is more reliable than Wes' intuition, then
indeed Wes' intuition must take a back seat, so to speak, to this
teaching. But by the same token, if we have good reason (as I think we
do) to believe that Wes' intuition (on the matter in question) is more
reliable than anyone's teaching, whether it be Paul's or anyone else's,
that God justly imputes guilt to newborn babies, then such teaching must
take a back seat, so to speak, to Wes' intuition. In short, if two
propositions are logically inconsistent, then any grounds for accepting
one are indeed grounds for rejecting the other. But that's a bloody
truism and does nothing to help us decide which is more reliable: Paul's
(alleged) teaching that God justly imputes Adam's guilt to newborn
babies, or Wes' intuition that he does not.
Now I'm not going to ask, as I believe Wes already has,
you believe
that the Bible is the (inerrant) Word of God. Whatever your reasons,
they are no doubt many and complex. What I do wonder about, however, I
can perhaps best explain this way. For my own part, I would reject the
authority of any author, whether it be Paul or anyone else, who declared
that God has commanded us to torture babies for our own pleasure. I find
it impossible to imagine, in other words, any historical consideration,
however miraculous or seemingly wondrous, that would convince me of the
divinely inspired character of such a teaching. And I wonder whether you
would feel as I do about this particular matter. If not, then I must
ask: What conceivable sort of historical consideration
you that such teaching is divinely inspired? But if, as I suspect, you
would feel the same as I do in the matter of torturing babies, then I
must also ask: Are you not here relying on your own moral intuitions,
even as Wes and I might rely on ours when we reject the supposed teaching
that God imputes guilt to newborn babies, restricts his mercy to a chosen
few, and (even worse than a command to torture babies) predestines some
persons to eternal perdition?
10/31/96, Society of Christian Philosophers: Reply to Steve Cowan
Hi Steve,
I'm writing to introduce you to a (mythical) hiking buddy of mine, an
old-timer whom I shall call Jake. I thought you might like to meet Jake
because he absolutely agrees with you on the matter of biblical
inerrancy; indeed, he is utterly impatient with my own view that the
doctrine of inerrancy is theologically useless. But though Jake agrees
with you on the matter of inerrancy, he also agrees with me on the matter
of inherited guilt; he is no less impatient with "the blasphemous idea,"
as he would call it, that infants are born guilty than he is with the
idea of a fallible Bible. So I thought it might be fun to get his
reaction to some of your own appeals to the inerrancy of Scripture,
particularly as you have made them in support of an idea that he rejects,
namely that of inherited guilt.
The first passage I showed him was the following, where you claim that
Wes' intuitions must take a back seat to the teaching of Scripture. You
> I certainly agree with Wes that our moral intuitions are important
> guides for judging moral issues. But, they are not infallible. The
> Scriptures themselves tell us that the heart is deceitful above all
> things. We are especially incompetent when it comes to assessing our

> capacity for self-deceit and the fallibility of our intuitions, then
> our intuitions must take a backseat to the teaching of Scripture.
I'm sorry to report, however, that Jake was unimpressed. "Look," he
said, his voice becoming shrill, "the moral law written on our heart and
expressed in some of our most basic moral intuitions is also a revelation
from God, and it is no less infallible than the Bible. So how can one
infallible revelation take a back seat to another? And we also have, by
the way, an infallible revelation in nature. You know that; you've led
backpacks into the wilderness! Indeed, if the moral law and the
teachings of nature were not also infallible revelations, then neither
would Paul be an infallible authority, for it is Paul who declared that
God himself, the very God who cannot lie and did not lie in the Bible,
has written his law on our hearts and has revealed himself in nature."
"Hmm," I gulped. "But isn't Steve right about the human heart being
terribly deceitful? Our minds are finite and our judgments fallible;
surely there is no dispute about that. And isn't it possible that our
sinful nature has also corrupted our reasoning about justice?"
"Yes, of course. Mr. Cowan is quite right about that. We have an
infallible revelation in nature, but our reasoning is so screwed up that
we don't always interpret it right. And similarly for the revelation of
the moral law. It is sometimes hard to know whether our present under-
standing of its precepts, not to mention our efforts at applying them to
specific situations, accurately reflect the infallible revelation within;
that's why we need a set of procedures to make these infallible precepts
clear to ourselves and to make sure that our overall interpretation of
them is consistent.
"But it is no different," he continued, "with the Bible. Isn't it just
as hard to know whether our present
of biblical truth
accurately reflects the infallible revelation that God has provided?--and
isn't that why, once again, we need a set of procedures to make biblical
doctrines clear to ourselves and to make sure that our overall interpre-
tation of them is consistent? I mean, look at the bewildering variety of
interpretations that exist. Every sect or denomination, every epoch,
every culture seems to have a quite different interpretation of even very
basic doctrines. The Western Church, for example, thinks it finds a
substitutionary theory of Christ's atonement in the New Testament, but
the Eastern Church is just as confident that no such doctrine exists
there. Thank God, our most basic moral intuitions seem to be more stable
(and more widely shared) than that!"
At this point, Jake paused for a moment. "Look at this!" he exclaimed
suddenly, with a look of triumph on his face, his hand shaking as he
pointed to the following passage:
> We have, IMO, overwhelming reason to accept the Scriptures as divine
> revelation, and no reason to believe that Wes' intuition (which is not
> and has not been universally shared by the human race) is certainly
> true. So, I win! ;-)
"See, that's just what I mean. Mr. Cowan is comparing apples and
oranges. I know, you think that's okay: Apples and oranges are both
examples of fruit; they both have seeds; and they have a lot else in
common as well. But you know what I mean. Mr. Cowan is comparing Wes'
intuition, as he now grasps and interprets it, with some idealized
conception of Scripture. One could just as easily compare Mr. Cowan's
*interpretation* of a doctrine he thinks he finds in Scripture--like the
idea of inherited guilt--with some idealized conception of the revela-
tion written on Wes' heart. And then one could argue as follows: `We
have overwhelming reason (included everything Mr. Cowan would say on
behalf of the Bible) to believe that the moral law written on Wes' heart
is a divine revelation, and no reason to believe that Mr. Cowan's
interpretation of Paul (which is but one of many) is certainly true. So
you win, Mr. Talbert."
Once again Jake paused, and I thought he might be finished. But he
wasn't. His face suddenly reddened as he blurted out, "The main thing is
that all this talk about the deceitful human heart cuts in two direc-
tions. You showed me one of Mr. Wes' posts, and I have no doubt that
this man's heart is very deceitful indeed! But why suppose that Mr.
Cowan's heart is so pristine pure? Sure, he seems like an exceptionally
honest and sincere young feller. But if Mr. Wes' deceitful heart could
distort his understanding of justice, why couldn't Mr. Cowan's deceitful
heart--or perhaps the deceitful hearts of those from whom he learned his
theology--distort his understanding of Scripture? Look at history, for
God's sake. Over the years, deceitful human beings have appealed to the
Bible in defense of slavery, racism, the exploitation of women, the
burning at the stake of young women (charged with witchcraft), the murder
of heretics, and even protracted torture. I'll bet you that human deceit
has done a lot more to distort and undermine a proper interpretation of
the Bible than it has to distort and undermine our most basic intuitions
about justice. And besides....."
Just then the telephone rang, which is probably a good thing because Jake
was starting to repeat himself, and he was called away to do some
campaigning on behalf of the environment. I was therefore unable to
press him on the theological usefulness of an infallible text. But in
any event, as you can see, Jake is no ordinary hiker. So Steve, meet
Jake; and Jake, meet Steve. Now have at it guys!

• We report three cases of tuberculous otomastoiditis in children. Review of the literature, with particular emphasis on the ten other cases reported since 1960, discloses that this form of tuberculosis is most frequent in infants and young children. All too often, the diagnosis is made too late, with resulting complications such as irreversible hearing loss and facial nerve paralysis. Antituberculous medication and surgical drainage controlled the infection in all 13 cases diagnosed since 1960. Tests for tuberculosis in children with chronic ear infection should be mandatory, but periodic testing of all children is recommended.

Groovy 2.0: Love for Grails Command Objects
29 Jun 2012Grails supports command object binding [0]. Request parameters are bound to properties of a given command class. From this context, a special-case is the use of lazy list properties. A lazy list grows whenever an index greater than its size is requested. Apache Commons provides a LazyList decorator implementation [1].
The decorate method returns a java.util.List descendant overwriting List#get(index). Whenever get(index) is called with an index greater than size, the list grows to the specified index and the factory creates a default value for this index. The gaps between the old and the new index will be filled with null. LazyList can be used in Grails command classes for dynamic lists.

def lazy = LazyList.decorate([], { 1 } as Factory)
assert lazy.get(4) == 1
assert lazy.get(1) == 1
assert lazy == [null, 1, null, null, 1]
Whenever dynamicProperty[index] is accessed the list is grown to the specified index if needed and the provided factory creates a default value ("1" in the code listing above).
class MyCommand {
def dynamicProperty = LazyList.decorate([], { 1 } as Factory)
Doin' it the Groovy wayGroovy 2.0 comes with a new GDK method emulating Commons LazyList behavior: List.withDefault. Whenever a list is created by calling withDefault it returns a lazy list with exactly the same properties as described above:
As shown in the code listing, the gap is filled with null placeholders. There is another property of lazy lists that is worth noting at this point. Any subsequent calls to get(index) never return null, as null is only used as placeholder object. Thus, when calling get(index) referencing a slot with a placeholder, the default value will be returned. Or turning it around: this variant of lazy list never returns null when get(index) is called.
def l = [].withDefault { 42 }
l[3] == 42 // the index has not been available
assert l == [null, null, null, 42]
// ...
assert l == [null, null, null, 42]
assert l[0] == 42
assert l[1] == 42
assert l[2] == 42
Lazy and Eager ListsSo far only half the truth has been told. Internally, withDefault redirects to withLazyDefault, as there is another lazy list variant available: withEagerDefault. This method can be used to create an eager instead of a lazy list. Again, eager lists grow as indices greater than the actual size are accessed, but it does fill gaps with default values instead of null placeholders. As a consequence, eager lists might hold null values as valid list elements too.
def l = [].withEager { 42 }
assert l[3] == 42
assert l == [42, 42, 42, 42]
l = [null].withEager { 42 }
assert l[0] == null
As this feature comes with Groovy 1.8.7 and 2.0, it will be available with one of the next Grails versions. Once bundled, commands objects can be defined without using Apache Commons, in a truly Groovy way :-)
class MyCommand {
def dynamicProperty = [].withDefault { 1 }

Therma-Tru Doors' New Glass Options for Entryways Let in Light, Add Eye-Catching Drama and Enhance Curb Appeal
MAUMEE, Ohio (Feb. 1, 2008) ― Homeowners will welcome and wow their guests all at once with the latest decorative glass entryway options from Therma-Tru® Doors. Adding decorative glass adds value to the home, lets in light and allows homeowners to create an entryway to reflect their personal style or complement their home's architectural style. The new introductions include three colorful decorative glass designs, half-round glass transoms, impact rated glass for added security and glass sidelites with internal blinds.
"We've seen decorative glass trends emerge in nearly every room of the home," says Jim McElroy, general manager, product marketing, Therma-Tru Doors. "As homeowners look for fresh ways to personalize their home and add curb appeal, it's only fitting that the entryway follows the same trend."
Eye-Catching Arts & Crafts
A home's architectural style often dictates the best door for the façade. To complement Arts & Crafts and Bungalow style architecture, Therma-Tru introduces two new decorative glass styles—Hazelton and Savannah—to add character and brighten up the entry. Hazelton's geometric pattern embodies the tradition of Craftsman design with shades of amber that stand out against clear bevels and iridescent seeded glass. Emphasizing the movement from ornate Victorian architecture to the American Craftsman with its straightforward floral design, Savannah has a delicate floral motif of amber petals and emerald leaves. Sunlight will dance across iridescent water glass, giving the illusion of early morning dew on a garden.
Hazelton glass
Savannah glass
For a true reflection of Arts & Crafts architecture, Hazelton and Savannah are designed for Therma-Tru's Classic-Craft® American Style Collection. The collection provides simplicity, understated and straightforward style, solid construction and uncomplicated design—all hallmarks of the emergence of the bungalow in the early 1900s. Like all Classic-Craft fiberglass door systems, the American Style Collection provides the texture and feel of a real wood door with its patented AccuGrain technology, yet delivers the thermal performance and lasting durability of fiberglass. Homeowners can add an optional four- or 16-block dentil shelf to the door for a more historically correct look.
Hazelton and Savannah are available with brushed or black nickel caming for flush-glazed 6-foot-8-inch and 8-foot high doors with 12- or 14-inch full lite flush-glazed sidelites. The decorative glass styles are also available in rectangular transoms for single doors and doors with two sidelites.
Contemporize Your Corridor
Element, a glass design suited for modern architecture, presents a dramatic use of marble-like white glass with accents of red and strong lines of black nickel caming. The beautiful, handcrafted glass was designed by a student at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) to lend a decorative touch to Therma-Tru's Smooth-Star® fiberglass, as well as its ProEdge, Profiles and Traditions steel doors. Transcending form over function, Element glass can be selected for single or double doors with sidelites and in a transom. On entryways with multiple lites, the design flows across the doors and sidelites for an integrated look.
Element glass
Lighten Up At New Heights
For a grand entryway that illuminates with light, Therma-Tru adds half-round transoms to complete its line of above-the-door choices. The half-round transoms complement the growing trend of higher ceilings and grand entryways and are available in Therma-Tru's most popular glass designs including Bella, Ashurst and Blackstone. Homeowners can add transoms to several door styles among all fiberglass and steel products lines.
In response to this same trend, Therma-Tru now offers full lite decorative glass designs for eight-foot tall openings in its Fiber-Classic® and Smooth-Star fiberglass and Traditions steel door styles. This new offering creates a broader selection of decorative glass with door styles at any price point.
Security, Privacy And Style
Two of the leading concerns homeowners have about decorative glass are related to security and privacy. Now, homeowners can rest assured that both of these concerns are addressed with Therma-Tru's impact rated glass options and new internal blinds. The impact rated decorative glass uses Therma-Tru's Lip Lite frame which is 30 percent thinner and more aesthetically pleasing than other commercial looking frames. Impact rated glass gives homeowners more protection against severe storm damage, including heavy winds, rain and flying debris and break-ins, while maintaining the curb appeal of the home. What's more, the impact rated glass has been approved for installation in areas with the most stringent building codes and is available in clear, grilles between glass (GBG) and Low-E for improved energy efficiency.
For instant privacy and easy-to-operate mechanism, Therma-Tru brings internal blinds to its Fiber-Classic entry and patio line. Because the blinds are between the panes of glass, homeowners won't have to contend with dust or damage. The blinds are fully adjustable to let the desired amount of light in or can be closed completely for ultimate privacy.
Visualizing what a new door style, especially with decorative glass, will look like can be a trying experience. To help homeowners visualize all of the elements of an entryway system, Therma-Tru launches its new Web-Based Door Designer tool that allows users to see how various door designs and decorative glass combinations will look with their home's architectural style. The Door Designer is available online at www.thermatru.com/doordesigner.

Trashing BNP's allegation that Awami League is a killer party, Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed on Sunday said the ruling party is a democratic party as it always promotes democracy.
"Awami League doesn't believe in the politics of killing…Awami League believes in democracy…Sheikh Hasina doesn't believe in the politics of killing. If she does so, she could have annihilated the killers of Bangabandhu instead of holding their trial under the existing laws of land," he said.
Tofail, also a member of Awami League advisory council, said this while addressing a photo exhibition program organized by Awami Jubo League at Shilpakala Academy in the city.
Earlier in the day at a press conference, BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, "Awami League is a killer party and its president Sheikh Hasina is a killer, too. Her hands are stained with the blood of several hundred innocent youths of the country."
Tofail said BNP's plan, before the January-5 election, was to turn the country into Thailand with a view to destroying the country's democracy. "The plan failed due to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's firmness."
The veteran Awami League leader observed that BNP will not be able to wage any anti-government movement as they have got alienated from people.
Tofail Ahmed alleged that the August 21 grenade attack was carried out by the conspirators to complete their unfinished task.
"The defeated forces of the Liberation War killed Bangabandhu along with his most family members to take revenge. But Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana escaped it as they were abroad. "To finish the unfinished task, the August 21 grenade attack was carried out."
The plan to conduct the grenade attack was taken at Hawa Bhaban, claimed the minister adding that the 'Jodge Miah' drama was staged to push the incident into another direction.
Awami Jubo League general secretary Harun-or-Rashid, among others, addressed the program held with its chairman Omar Faruk Chowdhury in the chair.

"The total commitments and pledges that Pakistan has got so far are $815.58 million," Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told reporters in Islamabad.

Rising waters in southern Pakistan are still a concern.
On Sunday, workers raced to strengthen levees along the Indus River. The disaster has left some 6 million people homeless.
Charities are providing food, water, medicine and shelter, but millions of people have received little help.
"We are doing it on our own," Thatta resident Munawar Ali told Dunya TV. "We are not seeing any government agency here to help us save our lives and our belongings."
The floods have affected and estimated 20 million people.
Officials warn that waterbourne diseases like cholera remain a serious health threat.
Operation Blessing International and German humanitarian group Humedica are helping the victims.

Before there was a King of Pop, Helen Reddy was being called the Queen of '70s Pop thanks to her string of 15 Billboard top 40 songs and three chart toppers, starting with the anthemic "I Am Woman."
This rich-voiced, auburn-haired Australia native was ubiquitous that decade: on radio, on television (guest appearances on "The Carol Burnett Show," her own summer-replacement series, "The Helen Reddy Show") and in the movies ("Airport '75," Disney's "Pete's Dragon"). But by the 1980s the hits had ended, and by the early 2000s she had grown tired of performing, noting recently in a phone conversation from the Washington, D.C., area: "I remember the Vegas days when it was two shows a night, seven nights a week, and it became so rote that I'd be thinking about wallpaper while I was singing."
She'd especially had enough of her 1973 hit "Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)."
" 'Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me, oh, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me,' " she drone-quoted. "And that's only one chorus."
So Reddy retired from the stage and returned to Australia for 10 years, spending time with her older sister and living a quiet life. Now the 71-year-old is resuming her career on her own terms. Reddy performs in concert at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Riviera Theatre, 67 Webster St., North Tonawanda. Tickets are $35-$40 (box office, 692-2413).
Reddy discussed her decision to come back and the songs she will and won't sing in our conversation, which has been edited.
Your decision to come back came after you performed at your sister's birthday?
Yes, that's right, because it was her 80th birthday, and she asked me if I would sing a duet with her. I hadn't heard my voice in 10 years, and when I heard it coming over the speaker, it was like: Oh, that's not bad. Maybe I should do that again.
You literally did not sing for –
For 10 years, no.
Not at all?
Nope. What I did find myself doing was humming harmonies. When I heard music, I would start humming a harmony, but other than that, no. I think I was burned out.
What do you get most out of performing now?
Just the joy of singing, the appreciation of the audience and the fact that I have more leeway in the songs that I choose to sing. I'm not locked into what the record company wants.
What kind of songs are you able to sing now that you couldn't before?
I do more of the ballads, not so much of the top 40 stuff, which is from another era.
Are you still doing "Delta Dawn"?
Yes. I do sort of a medley of some of those hits.
"Angie Baby"?
"Angie Baby" I do in its entirety because it is a story song, and the man who wrote it, Alan O'Day, is a good friend of mine, and I think he's just a brilliant songwriter.
"Ain't No Way To Treat a Lady"?
"Ain't No Way to treat a Lady," that's a Harriet Schock song. I do it as part of a medley.
Are there any songs that you think fans would want you to sing, but you decided, "You know what? I just don't have to do this one anymore"?
(Laughing) There are some, believe me, that I won't sing again. Like for instance, "Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone —"
I assume "I Am Woman" is still the big crowd-pleaser?
Well, yes, that's the one a lot of people come to hear, and it has become over the years an iconic song.
When you recorded it, did you think it was a major statement song?
I had no idea the impact it would have. That was a big surprise.
What is it about that song that made it iconic?
I think it came along at the right time. I'd gotten involved in the Women's Movement, and there were a lot of songs on the radio about being weak and being dainty and all those sort of things. All the women in my family, they were strong women. They worked. They lived through the Depression and a world war, and they were just strong women. I certainly didn't see myself as being dainty.
Now that you're doing concerts again, is there anything you need to do with your voice now that you didn't before you'd retired?
No. No, it's the same voice. In fact, that's what everyone says: "Your voice sounds exactly the same."
In terms of taking care of it, your routines are pretty much the same as what they always were?
Well, I never really had much in the way of routines. I think the best thing you can do for your voice is to rest it.
Is there anything new you listen to now?
I don't really get a chance to listen to music too much. I don't even have a stereo system.
People have their iPods and earbuds now.
I've always got music playing in my head. Sometimes that can get to be annoying.
What's the music in your head?
Usually when I'm going to sleep at night, there'll be eight bars of something that keeps going over and over.
Is it your own music or music that you like?
Just music that's sort of coming out of me.
Are you writing new songs?
Not presently, no.
Have you watched "American Idol" or "The Voice"?
No, thank you very much, no. In fact, I'm bothered by all these talent shows because it keeps people who are professional out of work, and these poor souls that are going on there are not getting paid, and people like Rupert Murdoch are making lots of money that they shouldn't be.

Summerville Catholic School kindergarten students explored the importance of healthy teeth and gums during National Children's Dental Health Month. Students did a science experiment comparing an eggshell soaked in cola overnight to the enamel on their teeth. After brushing the darkened shell with toothpaste, students could make the connection between eating healthy and having healthy teeth. Students also enjoyed creating teeth from apples, peanut butter and marshmallows. The highlight of the day was a visit from Summerville Pediatric Dentistry who came to pass out colorful toothbrushes and share tips on brushing teeth.

Apart from that I can not see any obvious problem.
