A robust epistemology is a sufficient condition for a successful pursuit of scientific inquiry. There are many other factors and conditions that must be met for science but a vigorous epistemic model for how one pursues scientific inquiry is needed; otherwise, there may be sufficient reasons to doubt not only the conclusions of the scientific inquiry but as well as the pool of data, which must be assessed appropriately. The scientist is more than welcome to pursue an empiricist model for his epistemology, though strict [naturalistic] empiricism is not very robust, but it must have certain allowances for metaphysical import—perhaps more rationalistic.
I believe the best way to construct a robust epistemology and scientific method is to be a realist. What I mean by this is that the external reality is how it appears to be to an observer making an epistemic inquiry, the measurements from science accurately depicts reality. This is in contrast to instrumentalism/anti-realism, which suggests that our inquiry of the world, scientifically, do not accurately depict reality but as useful fictions. An instrumentalist is more concerned about data fitting theories and predictions than with an accurate depiction of reality.
For the scientific realist, the ontology of the world determines one's epistemology. They congruently correspond. It is important to note the order of entailment. Antecedently, reality determines our epistemology.

FEMA-Subsidized Housing To End For Some Sandy Victims
By Joel Rose • Apr 29, 2013
Originally published on April 29, 2013 11:41 am
Six months after Hurricane Sandy, hundreds of low-income New Yorkers are facing homelessness. They've been living in subsidized hotel rooms since the storm, but that funding is about to run out. Advocates say there isn't enough public and low-income housing to accommodate them all.

Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa was just one of 176 employers at fair held in the Neil Blaisdell Center. The resort is taking applications now until November and is looking for about 250 employees with engaging personalities and a knowledge of the Hawaiian culture.
"When you think of Disney, you think of happiness, bubbliness and all that stuff. So I think I'd fit right in," said Neizel Hoe. "Hopefully they'll see through all the other applicants and they'll pick me. It would be nice."
Another popular booth at the job fair was Island Air. The company is hiring for over 27 positions including pilots and flight attendants.
Aside from the booths, job seekers also received a free self-photo for their Linkedin accounts.

Are you looking forward to racing at Watkins Glen International?
"Road courses have never been my strong suit, but I am actually really looking forward to going to Watkins Glen International after our team's performance at Sonoma Raceway in June. Sonoma was fun. It made me realize that road course racing can be fun and it got me excited for Watkins Glen. I came to Watkins Glen with my brother and tested a Trans Am car a few weeks ago. It rained, but I was still able to learn some things. The race to the Chase is on, so my whole team is going into the race motivated to perform."
Paul Menard
No. 27 SPLASH/Menards Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet
This Week's SPLASH / Menards Chevrolet at Pocono Raceway ... This weekend in the NASCAR 355 at Watkins Glen International, Paul Menard and the No. 27 SPLASH/Menards Chevrolet SS team will race chassis No. 470.

What's Your Point ... After finishing 33rd at Pocono Raceway, Menard maintained his position in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings and sits 16th, only 28 markers out of 13th, heading into Watkins Glen this weekend.
Looking Back ... Menard qualified seventh for last year's event at the road course and raced his way in to the top 10 before a pit road penalty and late-race incident relegated the team to a 17th-place finish.
Why has Watkins Glen International gotten so different over the years?
"It's really hard to pass. Obviously the harder it is to pass the more track position means, so you try to get all you can on the restarts. At a place like Watkins Glen there are better passing opportunities than somewhere like Sonoma. I think historically you see more wrecks and things like that at Sonoma whereas at Watkins Glen ,you can get by a guy if you're faster than him. It's a fun road course and it's totally opposite from Sonoma. It has really high speeds and the setup is a lot different than you would run at Sonoma, which all makes for an interesting weekend."
The days of road course "ringers" are pretty much gone now. Everyone seems to take it seriously now, why is that?
"I don't think anyone has not taken it seriously for the last 10 to 15 years. The points just add up and the more competitive the Sprint Cup Series gets, the more each weekend matters. There are a lot of guys that enjoy road racing, whereas a number of years ago guys maybe did not enjoy it. I think everyone, for the most part, looks forward to going to Watkins Glen and shifting gears."
Ryan Newman
No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet
This Week's Caterpillar Chevrolet SS at Watkins Glen International ... Ryan Newman will drive chassis No. 471 in Sunday's NASCAR 355 at The Glen. This chassis was utilized earlier this season in NASCAR's first road-course event at Sonoma Raceway where Newman qualified 11th and finished seventh.

Watkins Glen Rewind ... Newman qualified 14th and battled back from a pit road penalty to race from 32nd to a 14th-place finish.
What makes Watkins Glen a challenge?
"Watkins Glen is so much faster than Sonoma Raceway. I think Pocono was a nice warm up to this race because of the fact that we had to shift. It couldn't have fallen at a better place on the schedule when it comes to preparing for this race. The speed is the biggest difference when comparing Watkins Glen to Sonoma. It also provides for a few more places to pass on the track, and that's always a good thing for us."
Since you've recorded a top-10 at Sonoma, does that mean you'll run well at The Glen?
"If you've run well at Sonoma, it means you are a good road-course driver. Odds are you will run well at Watkins Glen, but the tracks are quite a bit different so you have to take that in consideration and hope for the best."
Do you anticipate a lot of rolling of the dice by teams to try and steal a win at Watkins Glen?
"Watkins Glen is the same type of deal like Pocono, Indy and Michigan where the track is so long and the fuel mileage plays the biggest part of the teams' strategy. I think that can be as big of a question mark as any kind of a road course ace or anything like that."

Prime Patrick...no ****in doubt
Stephon Marbury in Phoenix or Steve Nash in Dallas???
I would go with Vince Carter from the Raptors days but TMac at his best might have been better then Vince at his best, I think he was a more versatile player with a higher IQ. I dont wanna take anything away from Vince though, he had some incredible years in Toronto. I remember a playoff series with the Raptors vs 76ers, Vince and AI were both beastin but Iverson managed to carry his team to the Finals that year (I think). Both of them earned my respect forever with the way they played.
Prime Patrick Ewing or Dwight Howard
Prime Patrick...no ****in doubt
Stephon Marbury in Phoenix or Steve Nash in Dallas???
Yea I know like I said I would pick Randolph but to have on my team I would get Lee. Some reason Randolph does not look the type to much players get along with and off the court troubles is always a bad sign, even though hes getting his act together lately.
Stephon Marbury just because in the suns he was actually pretty good and Nash got better as he aged.
If I want to win now, I take Kobe. He'll do everything I ask, and have the will to win like no other NBA player will ever have.
If I want to start an NBA team, I take LeBron. Kobe will pass his prime in 4 years. That's the only reason though. Not a fan of LeBron's shot selection or his game really. He'd be much more dominant if he just took it to the basket every time. His shot is literally all luck. The dude doesn't even square up. He's great, but Kobe's accomplishments outweigh his one MVP trophy and 0 rings.
Spike still runs the garden.
jeff van gundy?
stan van gundy?
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
Rodman won with the Bulls because of Jordan and Pippen. He couldn't do **** when he came to L.A. and was forced in to an early retirement.
With the Pistons he was their marquee guy. He made people fear the paint more than anyone this decade (minus Prime Shaq)
Which leads me to my next one.
Prime Shaq? or Prime Wilt?
Spike still runs the garden.
Vince - at his absolute prime for sure.
One that I've always had differences with friends is:
Shaq in his prime or Olajuwon in his.
Olajuwon. Most rounded big man ever. He's the only Knick enemy I've ever forgiven because he was just that good to watch and he thumped Shaq in the 95 finals. That is prior to Shaq's prime though.
04' K-Gay.
I HATE Garnett more than any other player in the NBA (besides Paul Pierce of course)
But KG was insane before this year. If he didn't have so much mileage on him, he'd still be the best PF in basketball. So many wasted years with the Timberwolves.
on a completely unrelated note...Deron Williams or Chris Paul? lol
Spike still runs the garden.
Chris Paul...not injured though
Wash ups
M. Miller
J. Kapono?

On October 7, 2013 the Mill Valley City Council finalized its review of the Mill Valley General Plan ("MV2040") and formally approved the project by certifying the environmental review and adopting the MV2040 General Plan and 2009-2014 Housing Element. Adoption of the MV2040 General Plan marks the end of a 22-month period initiated by the City Council to engage the community in the process of drafting and updating the City's General Plan. Mill Valley's General Plan was last completely updated in 1989, with the Housing Element last updated in 2003. The City is pleased to announce that this project was completed within a two-year time frame and budgeted resources - a true accomplishment. This goal was met through the primary use of City staff, and the talents and expertise of over 43 community volunteers who formed the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) and three Working Groups (Land Use & Mobility, Natural Environment and Community Vitality, including the Arts Subcommittee). The City's General Plan serves as a long-term vision for the future of the community, as well as a basis for short and long-term decisions that affect all aspects of our community's daily life: land use, transportation, housing, community facilities and services, the environment, and much more. The planning horizon for the updated General Plan is 2040 (hence the "2040 General Plan" title), and contains the following chapters, also known as "elements": • Land Use Hazards and Public Safety • Mobility • Noise • Community Vitality • General Plan Administration • Natural Environment • Housing (Under Separate Cover) • Climate Action Each element begins with a purpose statement and a summary of existing conditions, followed by goals, policies and programs for action. The content of the MV2040 General Plan is based on the community's vision, values and input gathered through the numerous public meetings of the General Plan Advisory Committee and three Working Group (Land Use & Mobility, Natural Environment and Community Vitality, including the Arts subcommittee).
Mill Valley Panning Commission
General Plan Advisory Committee and Staff Members
Working Group discussing goals, policies & programs that form the basis of the MV2040 General Plan
Community review, input and collaboration has occurred throughout the process In April 2012 the City kicked-off the project with a speaker's series that included discussions on community engagement, demographic trends and maintaining a sense of place, and launched an interactive community website for collaborating on general plan themes and ideas. The project then transitioned into reviewing existing conditions and trends related to where we live and work (land use and economy), how we get around (mobility), and how we relate to our environment (health and safety). The three Working Groups drafted the goals, policies and programs that form the basis of the overall General Plan. The General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC), which served as an oversight committee for the project, reviewed the draft goals, policies and programs and in April 2013, reviewed the first draft MV2040 General Plan and 2009-2014 Housing Element. Over 50 community meetings were held from April 2012-May 2013 with 43 members of the public serving on the GPAC and the three Working Groups. Public hearings on the Draft MV2040 General Plan, 2009-2014 Housing Element and associated environmental review for project then began in July 2013 by Planning Commission and recently concluded through the final adoption of the MV2040 General Plan project by City Council on October 7, 2013. Final recommendations made by City Council as part of the formal adoption will be posted on the project website Monday October 21, 2013 and will be incorporated into the final document released later this year. Implementation of the General Plan will begin immediately and will be incorporated into the City Council's annual work plan and budget cycle. To go to the MV2040 project website, click here.For more information on the overall process, see MV2040 Fact Sheet.
Adoption of the General Plan - On time within budget An average city of Mill Valley's size would spend an average of half a million dollars, plus staff time, on a General Plan update. The City of Mill Valley completed the MV2040 within its allocated budget of $450,000, and the expenses to-date total $305,205 (not including September-October 2013). Most of the expenditures are related to consultant work and do not include City staff time. Some of the remaining budget will be used to finalize the document and incorporate the data in the MV2040 maps into Marin Maps, allowing residents to view information such as land use, zoning, critical habitat, flood zones at any scale, down to a resident's parcel. Planners anticipate being approximately $80,000 under budget. A typical time frame for a General Plan update can last up to five years to complete. The City of Mill Valley is pleased to have taken just under two years to complete the process.
A "Thank You" to the Mill Valley Community Drafting and adopting a General Plan on time within the City's budgeted resources is result of the dedication and collaboration that has occurred within the community. As Mayor and GPAC Chair, Andy Berman notes, "I want to thank the GPAC and the Working Groups, including the Arts Sub-committee, for all of their hard work. Of course, the tireless efforts of Staff and our consulting team deserve special recognition too. But most of all I want to thank our community, of which we are all a part, for embracing and appreciating the collaborative, inclusive approach we have taken to get to this point. We would not be here but for this community spirit - in fact a thirst - to create a shared vision for Mill Valley. I feel truly privileged and honored to be part of it." See the below for those community members serving on the GPAC and Working Groups. At various points in the process additional input was provided by City staff and Boards and Commissions, such as the Art Commission, Library Board of Trustees, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, Parks and Recreation Commission, Emergency Preparedness Commission and Planning Commission. –Thank you all for your time, efforts, and dedication to the City!

We've had a rough two weeks. My nine-week-old daughter caught a cold and suddenly a red rash appeared all over her face. She had beautiful, clear skin when she was born so this was alarming to me. The nurse said that it is baby acne. Meantime, I got a small period. I did not have excessive bleeding postpartum; I only bled for four days after delivery. The period (seven weeks postpartum) was short and not very heavy. Also, last Monday I went back to work and DD went to the sitter's. Could any of these things trigger the baby acne? Does anyone have any suggestions? I am going to start taking birth control (prescribed for bf mothers) but can't figure out when to start taking it. Will the pill affect DD's hormones? Could my period have triggered the baby acne?
Thanks for the help!

I still have no problems with Sect(s) (you didn't mention it here but you have in many other places)... I just love the artificial sound and tone on the 777 albums because that's how it's supposed to sound anyway... Artificial.
But back to this album and review. Great review and words as usual! and damn, the EP is fantastic I always love bands that comete with themselves, that's the key.
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 01.08.2012 at 19:31The 777's have too much of a kind EBM/Electro-industrial/Fear Factory etc. kind of "industrial"
Written by Mr. Doctor on 01.08.2012 at 19:38
Woah dude that's offensive but still.. It might sound like that because (and this is a wild guess!): They are pretty much Industrial/black, right?!
I know this is speculation but I'm still pretty sure it wouldn't sound as good if the tone of the guitars was "grimmer". It wouldn't work for the songwriting.
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 01.08.2012 at 19:41Well it worked pretty well for The Work Which Transforms God =P
Written by Mr. Doctor on 01.08.2012 at 19:42
Not applicable if you ask me. While there are some similarities, the songwriting is still pretty different.

Would it be at all possible for the entire trilogy to win album of the year? Since they're all called "Epitome" I, II, etc? Or does it have to be one album with all of its tracks released on one disc?
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 02.08.2012 at 02:33
Well technically Deathspell's SMRC, FAS and Paracletus are a trilogy but I doubt anyone could justify them being considered for one year's awards
It is a shame BaN didn't get them out all in a year though, probably would have topped a lot of charts for pure achievement alone.

Producers are encouraged to make an appointment now to sign-up for the annual program.
Eligible DCP participants receive a direct payment and/or a counter-cyclical payment. Direct payment rates are established by statute regardless of market prices. Counter-cyclical payments vary depending on market prices, and are issued only when the effective price for a commodity is below its target price.
The ACRE program protects producers from farm market revenue declines when revenue triggers are met for a commodity at both the state and farm level.
Eligible payment acres are dependent upon the commodity base acres and yields as established for the farm. Eligible acres must be maintained to control weeds and control erosion. Fruits and vegetables cannot be planted on applicable contract acres.
Both DCP and ACRE participants must sign annual contracts to be eligible for program benefits. All signatures of producers sharing in the risk and production of crops grown for applicable DCP or ACRE payments must be on file by the applicable enrollment deadline.
For more information about DCP and/or ACRE, please contact the Karnes County FSA office at 830-583-3224 or visit the web at: www.fsa.usda.gov/tx.

Jeff Massengill isn't willing to just give up and let two of his faculty head quietly out the door — both victims of declining enrollment and decreased funding.
During Monday night's Coastal Bend College board meeting, Massengill, communications department division chair, pleaded with trustees to reinstate the two lost positions offering himself as a financial sacrifice.
"We had made arrangements that would address the low enrollment numbers," he told the trustees during the public forum portion of the meeting. "I am willing to step down and teach as an adjunct. That will save you guys about $40,000.
"Please do consider this.
"I cannot think of anything more tragic than losing these people who are already trained and broken in."
The two positions, one on the college's Alice campus and the other in Pleasanton, were casualties of a declining college enrollment and reduced state funding.
Two weeks ago, trustees announced this loss of 12 people.
Board Chair Paul Jaure said that they have been looking at ways to cut costs and increase enrollment for the past year.
They were able to cut $160,000 from the budget, reduce overtime by $85,000, save $130,000 by restructuring the technology and communications infrastructure, reorganize the administration side to save $250,000, eliminate some contract renewals to save $575,000 and change property and liability insurance providers to save $140,0000.
Despite their efforts, funding cuts including a $1.4 million deficit, have taken their toll.
Lure of the oil field
The overall decline in enrollment is being attributed to the prosperity brought to this area from Eagle Ford Shale drilling. Those who would normally be enrolling are taking what some describe as lucrative jobs in the oil field.
None of the changes have come easily.
"We all have emotions," Jaure said. "It hurts to have to do those things.
"We are a family."
During Monday's meeting, the board issued orders to College President Dr. Beatriz Espinoza not only to ensure the college offers the courses students need but to also re-establish the college's fund balance.
Jaure read the list after the board returned from a 2 1/2-hour executive session which included the president's evaluation. It should be noted that Espinoza's evaluation did not include a raise because of the financial situation.
Goals of president
Her goals, as read by Jaure during the meeting include:
• Ensuring that student success is a top priority and that every student will be able to complete a certificate or degree on time.
• Ensuring that staffing is in line with current enrollment.
• Re-establishing the fund balance of $5.4 million amount required by the state. This will require the contribution of $1.5 million per fiscal year into the reserves through 2015.
• Continually evaluating programs and positions to meet the needs and demands of the college's service areas.
• Investing in support programs and evaluating programs that are declining — always keeping in mind that student and community/industry needs.
• Researching new programs and initiatives that will help serve the needs of the area.
Jaure said that they want to see the college continue and they are doing what needs to be done to ensure that.
"We are close to celebrating our 50th anniversary," he said.
"CBC has much to be proud of. We cannot let a brief lapse in oversight keep us from celebrating the many successes CBC has enjoyed and will continue to enjoy for many years.
"Bee County College/ Coastal Bend College has awarded more than 15,000 certificates and degrees to very deserving students — many of whom are leaders in our community and throughout the globe..."
Holding out hope
Massengill holds out hope that trustees will re-evaluate their cuts and reconsider how these layoffs were handled.
The positions cut had a lower number of contact hours with students this semester but that would have changed next semester when one took on more online classes and the other expanded the dual credit program in Alice.
The Pleasanton instructor, he said, was developing her own online courses that would take some of the load off a local instructor with 736 contact hours.
"She is an award-wining author and far better than I am as an instructor."
The second instructor, this one working on the Alice campus, had already been reassigned to expand the Kingsville dual credit program.
"We had already reassigned him to two days a week to meet unmet student needs in Kingville where we turn away dual credit students every semester," Massengill said. "Until this first semester, I had no one to send over there.
"This instructor agreed to drive over there on his own nickle."
Sacrificial offering
Massengill continued his plea, offering his position in exchange.
"These people are too valuable for us to just lose," he said. "These people are an integral part of a team that we have all worked very hard to put together.
"The damage this has done to the division is disheartening, especially since it was sprung on us at the last minute — literally 48 hours before I came to you and spoke to you last time.
"I agree we have to run this place partially as a business.
"I run a business.
"I have run several in the past.
"I would never do what has happened to my division to an employee whether they mowed the lawn or dug ditches or ran the place."

Cogswell College today announced the appointment of Dr. Deborah Snyder as chief academic officer and provost. In her new role, Dr. Snyder will oversee growth, planning and development in all of the school's educational programs.
"Dr. Snyder has a great depth of knowledge in the industry," says Janis Paulson, Interim Chief Executive Officer for Cogswell College. "She has a long history of higher education experience and was a pioneer in the adoption of online platforms in learning. Her impressive track record and proven strategic know-how make her a formidable asset to the college."
Previously, Snyder served as senior vice provost for academic programs at Strayer University in Washington, D.C. and is author of The New Traditionals and e-Marketing Basics. The New Traditionals examined adult learners—those 25 and over—who comprise the majority of enrollees in higher education. She has been published in numerous education and marketing journals and has presented at several high-profile conferences.
"When I first visited Cogswell, I was so impressed by what the students were learning," explains Dr. Snyder. "It's truly a creative and innovative environment for students and faculty. Cogswell's students are diverse and talented, making programs like our award-winning Project X and others,—possible."
"I look forward to being part of the Cogswell academic team that will continue Cogswell's growth trajectory while maintaining the high quality and innovative education students have come to expect," says Snyder. "Although higher education may be experiencing significant changes these days due to new and disruptive technologies, Cogswell students and faculty seem to be comfortable working in the fast-paced world of constantly changing technology, which is so much a part of the Silicon Valley culture."
Disruptive technologies in higher education include innovative ways of delivering learning through online degrees, badges and massive open online courses (MOOCs).
Snyder continues, "Cogswell's innovative offerings in digital arts and engineering, and steadfast commitment to a leading edge learning environment, will continue to produce the next generation of workers in these dynamic industries, whatever changes in education the future may hold."

Staff and wire reports
The number of Curry County salmonella cases climbed to five Wednesday, up one from previous reports, health officials said.
According to Department of Health spokeswoman Deborah Busemeyer, there is a likelihood the patients were infected by tomatoes eaten at Curry County restaurants or purchased from area stores, though she said she did not have specific information on the individual cases.
Four of the people, between the ages of 4 and 62, fell ill from salmonella between May 12-18, she said. Two of them were hospitalized for their illnesses.
There is also one case reported in Roosevelt County.
The state Department of Health is now investigating 68 cases of Salmonella linked to tomatoes in New Mexico.
The first illness in New Mexico occurred May 11, and by May 21, the department's scientific laboratory had confirmed three cases of salmonella Saintpaul with the same genetic fingerprint. Within days, more cases were reported.
U.S. health officials said Wednesday there have been no confirmed salmonella deaths linked to the outbreak, which was reported in at least 17 states. Fewer than 200 people have turned up sick.
New Mexico health officials said 75 percent of those stricken in the outbreak by May 24 reported eating fresh tomatoes. A few days later, state Environmental Department workers bought tomatoes in New Mexico grocery stores to test for salmonella.
The scientific lab began testing tomatoes from across the state June 2.
The next day, the FDA warned people in New Mexico and Texas not to eat raw red plum, Roma or round red tomatoes and to limit consumption to cherry or grape tomatoes, tomatoes with the vine still attached or those grown at home.
The Environment Department asked food businesses on June 5 to stop serving or selling the implicated types of tomatoes or such products as fresh salsas and pico de gallo made with them.
The FDA made those recommendations to the rest of the nation.
Cases have been reported in 17 New Mexico counties.
Patients range in age from 3 months to 82 years.

The miles keep adding up
Last week was a pretty damn awesome week on the bike. I managed to commute to and from work and around town four days out of five and ran a boatload of errands to boot. Let's review …
Monday was easy. I biked to work in the morning, then home in the afternoon. Nothing terribly exciting to report about that. I did have a pretty full load in my panniers, as I had to pack in my suit for an on-camera interview that morning. Otherwise, easy peasy.
However, I had been noticing that my car was overheating and its engine was revving when idling, as if to run the fan and cool the motor. Given that I needed to drive on Thursday, I had to take my car to the shop on Tuesday to make sure it was repaired on time. So that morning, I loaded up my gear and my bike and drove to Barton's on Overton Park Drive. I had to be on campus by 8:30 AM, so I left the house super-early (for me, anyway) at just past 7. After dropping of my car, I biked to campus.
What made the ride so enjoyable, other than the opportunity to watch the sun rise over Memphis as I headed to work, was that I followed a new route to campus. From Barton's I biked through Overton Park, east on Broad St., then south on Tillman to the Greenline. I rode the Greenline east to High Point Terrace, which I followed south to campus. It was a really great ride, and faster than I expected: just over 30 minutes. (I'm sure the two double cappuccinos I had that morning helped.) After class and a few meetings, I biked home. Here's the map:
The loop at the end was courtesy a trip to the bank. 11.5 miles total. Whee!
My car was ready that afternoon, so Wednesday morning I biked to Barton's, stopping at Black Lodge on the way, picked up my car, and drove it home. Then I biked to campus, had my day at work, and left in the afternoon to run a few errands.
From campus I biked to Poplar Plaza and bought a few things at the soon-to-be-replaced Kroger. Then I rode to Busters for some vino, even biking on Poplar during rush hour for a spell. From Busters I headed west to the Memphis Public Library on Poplar, then biked home. I was going to go to Home Depot, but the hour was growing late and I was hungry. Once again, here's the map:
Another 14.5 miles. Awesome.
What I enjoyed most about the week was the variation in routes. Normally I follow pretty much the same route every day. Sure, I could mix it up, but like a lot of commuters (of the two-wheeled and four-wheeled varieties), I mostly just want to get where I'm going. Being pushed into new routes was really nice.
Friday was super easy. I biked to and from Otherlands, my normal Friday routine. So easy, I didn't even bother with cycling gear.
Altogether, I logged around 30 miles last week. That's roughly two gallons of gas I would have otherwise burned, meaning that I saved … um … how much is gas these days? I can never remember.
Anyway, more news later this week. I hope to see you on the road soon.

Phenom Cyclone won't cycle
Posted 29 December 2012 - 01:19 PM
Now the other gun is leaking out the trigger, and is shooting fine. However, the cyclone will not move. It tries to, and I have taken it apart, lubed it, even switched it with an A-5 cyclone, and it still won't cycle. It acts like it wants to and I can see it starting to get some power, it just doesn't do it all the way. When I pull the trigger back on the gun that works, I can hear a crisp sound of the air going back into the solenoid. (At least that's what I think it is). On the broken phenom, when i pull the trigger and release it makes a loud refilling sound that takes about half a second.
Here's where it gets dumb; I field stripped it and greased up the part of the gun where the cyclone hosing plugs in, checked the o-rings and everything is fine; when I put it back together it didn't work at all. It is now shooting a few shots, but then seeming to go into a half pressure mode where it doesn't want to fire but I can hear the battery working. It almost seems as if that stupid pin in that brass thing isn't hitting the hammer back and I have taken that out and tightened it and greased it like everybody else says with no success. Now after a few shots it is shooting out snowballs.
A few things you should know:
1) I'm using C02
2) The phenom can use C02 as advertised because the working phenom is fine with it, the broken one does the same thing with a remote coil and the gun is not being aimed down or anythin.
3) My SP1 runs C02 plugged straight in and nothing bad has ever happened to it since i've had it
4) The working Phenom with C02 plugged in doesn't get cold (only the ASA does) On the broken phenom, the barrel freezes up after only a few shots. There's something missing that was fine since the last time I took it apart and I made sure no parts were missing.
It's really frustrating to know that a brand new gun has so many problems and that I can take it apart and have half of it work, then field strip it, put it back on and have the entire thing not work again. If ANYBODY can help me i'd be so happy. I called Tippmann and nobody can help me until Wednesday over the phone, and I've already called Tippmann Parts and they couldn't help me either. I'm trying to play by Saturday (the 5th).
Thank you and please let me know !

In his case, Tippmann had to send a new part that wasn't restricting the air to the Cyclone. If you're willing, you could probably take a small drill bit and attempt to widen the hole on that part and see if that helps.

widening the hole in the cyclone fitting that goes into the valve body with a small drill bit will probably fix the problem. For the leak around the trigger frame, check the orings on the valve plug. If you have any more trouble after that, post back up in here and I'll give you a hand.

Also, the leaking around the trigger frame hasn't gone away, but it wasn't doing it before. I tightened the brass plug and greased that pin and did everything but nothing seems to work. I've even switched grips, brass plugs, and pins between 2 different phenoms and the same exact one leaks and the other marker is fine.

When you say "the exact same one leaks", do you mean the exact same gripframe or the exact same body?
I meant the exact same body
Okay: New part came in from Tippmann (finally) and it worked, the cyclone moves. I didn't hear the leak and I don't know why, but that's okay. I shot maybe 50 balls out of it and it chopped quite a bit, and the cyclone didn't seem to be landing in the same place each time it spun but that might be a cyclone problem needing to be tightened.

Learning Resources
To better assist or foster student learning, educators should understand the processes of learning, including what enhances and impedes learning. The following resources provide information and examples about the processes of learning and the factors that affect it.
= video resource
Principles of Learning
Students learn constructively (Part 1 - 8:13), (Part 2 - 6:19), (Part 3 - 6:00) - Excellent video series on how students best learn and what we as instructors can do to promote that learning
Long-term retrieval of knowledge is often difficult - For example, this link takes you to a research article that found that students forgot most of the knowledge taught in a course within two years.
Below are four research-based principles of learning effectively described at the U.S. Department of Education's Doing What Works resource. Along with a description of the principle, you can find examples of its use in the classroom, video interviews of researchers discussing the principle, and suggestions for its application.
Space learning over time - "A key aspect of effective teaching and learning is helping students to retain information over the course of the school year and beyond. Research has shown that exposing students to key concepts and facts on at least two occasions, separated by several weeks to several months, greatly reduces the rate at which information is forgotten. This is accomplished by spacing the introduction of material over time and by reviewing material with short quizzes, review games, targeted homework assignments, and exams."
Examples with practice - "Students learn more when worked examples, or solved problems, are alternated with problems to be solved... Students benefit from this approach, learn effective problem-solving strategies, transfer these strategies more easily, and, ultimately, solve problems more quickly. "But don't be fooled by the word "problem" above. This principle of learning does not just apply to math courses. The learning of any skill or concept can be enhanced by interweaving the successful modeling of the skill or thinking about the concept with opportunities for the students to practice with them. In other words, research finds that instead of modeling something and then giving students a lot of practice with it, you should provide some modeling or examples of successful work, then some practice, then some more examples, and so on."
Connect abstract AND concrete representations of concepts - "Teaching a new concept in purely abstract terms can make it difficult for students to fully understand what is being taught. On the other hand, teaching a new concept in exclusively concrete terms can limit a student's ability to recognize key concepts or understand how to apply the concepts when faced with a new problem. Connecting abstract and concrete representations, and clearly highlighting the similarities and differences, can help students master the content being taught and develop better problem-solving strategies.
Higher-order questions - "Across subject areas, when teachers ask higher-order questions and provide opportunities for students to develop deep explanations, learning is enhanced."
25 principles of learning - A good list of research-based principles describing how and when people learning most effectively.
"How experts differ from novices" - A chapter from the book How people learn: Brain, mind, experience and school (available online) - it is useful to understand how our students, mostly novices, learn and think differently than experts.
Cognitive load theory - This page provides a good, brief overview of how people learn information and ideas, with a focus on cognitive load. Cognitive load theory says that "working memory, however, is extremely limited in both capacity and duration. These limitations will, under some conditions, impede learning." Look through this page to find out why that is so important for student learning and what can be done about it.
Bloom's Taxonomy (and more recent revision) - Benjamin Bloom and colleagues created a hierarchical classification of educational goals and objectives in three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive objectives have received the most attention and are what most people are referring to when mentioning Bloom's Taxonomy. The cognitive objectives still serve as a valuable framework when considering the levels of understanding educators at all levels wish their students to achieve. A slight revision to Bloom's cognitive objectives was suggested in 2001, as described at the link above.
The Taxonomy extended across four dimensions of knowledge (factual, conceptual, procedural, metacognitive)
Useful examples of how to translate Bloom's levels into questions or problems to be solved
Obstacles to Learning
Students come with misconceptions - This series of classic videos (freely available online) illustrates how students do not come to us as blank slates. Students bring all sorts of preconceived notions and misconceptions that can be quite a challenge to overcome.
A Private Universe (20 min.)
Minds of Our Own (3 1-hour videos)
"Why people fail to recognize their own incompetence" - Interesting review of research that finds that our weaker students are "doubly cursed": They not only are less competent to begin with, but they are also less able to recognize when they are doing poorly.
"How the mind learns during sleep" - This blog entry reviews recent research showing that the brain enhances learning during sleep, so that missing sufficient can inhibit meaningful learning and make studying less useful.
The Einstellung effect - "A pervasive source of cognitive bias" - Students will often attach themselves to one idea or option or perspective and then fail to consider any others. "The result is that alternatives to the first idea are ignored. This mechanism for biasing attention ensures a speedy response in familiar situations, but it can lead to errors when the first thought that comes to mind is not appropriate. We propose that this mechanism is the source of many cognitive biases, from phenomena in problem solving and reasoning to perceptual errors and failures in memory.
Stereotype threat - This phenomenon is actually more an obstacle to performance. Stereotype threat is experienced by a person when he fears that he will confirm a negative stereotype about his group through his performance. For example, women who are equally good as men at math will tend to perform worse than men on a math test if they are told that the test is diagnostic of their math ability. The women fear that they will confirm the stereotype that women are not as good at math as men. You can find more examples and a lot of good information about the phenomenon at the above link.
Multitasking - Students think they can do it. Research says they can't.
"Cell phones in the classroom: What's your policy?" - an essay by Sydney Fulbright
Modes of Learning
Learning styles or preferences - Although research finds that there are differences in how people learn and how they prefer to learn, research finds that we are far more similar than different in those processes. Furthermore, although a lot of attention has been given to different learning styles or preferences in students, research has yet to find substantial evidence that identifying and then teaching to different styles or preferences provides any significant benefit to students. For example, see the following reviews of learning styles approaches:
"Learning styles: Concepts and evidence"
"Different strokes for different folks? A critique of learning styles"
Strategies for Learning
What works? 10 strategies for studying and learning - A very thorough review of research on common techniques such as highlighting text, rereading material, and testing oneself. The research was published in the journal Psychological Science in the Public Interest (2013).
How to get the most out of studying - a video series from Stephen Chew - good videos you could provide or assign to your students
In-class note-taking skills - good list of advice for students
"Tips for developing students' note-taking skills" - an essay by Maryellen Weimer
Teaching critical reading - from the Graduate Student Instructor Teaching and Resource Center at Berkeley
Motivation to Learn
Self-determination theory - A well-researched theory, self-determination theory has been effectively studied in and applied to educational settings in efforts to increase the intrinsic motivation of students.
Promoting positive student motivation - Good overview of theory and research on student motivation with some suggestions - IDEA Paper 41 - from The IDEA Center

According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled, it can result in death. Although cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases.
Cancer can arise in many sites and behave differently depending on its organ of origin. Breast cancer, for example, has different characteristics than lung cancer. It is important to understand that cancer originating in one body organ takes its characteristics with it even if it spreads to another part of the body. For example, metastatic breast cancer in the lungs continues to behave like breast cancer when viewed under a microscope, and it continues to look like a cancer that originated in the breast.
Cancer types can be grouped into broader categories:
Cancer treatment can take many different forms, and it is always tailored to the individual patient. Treatment decisions depend on:
The conventional cancer treatment is to remove all or as much of the tumor as possible and prevent the recurrence or spread of the primary tumor.
The major types of treatment are listed below.
Physical activity [14] of a mild to moderate nature has been shown to improve quality of life and decrease fatigue in cancer patients. Since exercise has been shown to improve mood [15], reduce insomnia [16], and elevate appetite, it is assumed these benefits would also be useful for those same complaints in oncology patients.
Nutrition [17] research—including that about individual foods, phytochemicals, multivitamin supplements, and antioxidants—has had conflicting results. While there seems to be agreement that diet plays some role in the development of cancer, clinical recommendations for prevention are still unclear, and research data is not persuasive. See Research on Diet and Cancer [4].
The American Cancer Society [18] recommends a simple, conservative, "healthy" diet, with a plant emphasis:
While antioxidants have been associated with improved health, it is important to avoid high-dose antioxidant supplements during active radiation therapy because they might prevent radiation from effectively killing the cancer cells.
There are many cancer types, all with varying extents of disease. Some cancers have no symptoms and can be found on routine screening exams. Others might be diagnosed when there is extensive disease, with the individual having many symptoms of illness. This section focuses on areas of cancer care for which integrative healing practices are most often considered: stimulating the immune system, improving life balance, and managing side effects of the cancer or cancer treatments.
Conventional physicians have begun an organized evaluation and application of integrative practices for cancer care called Integrative Oncology, which is "a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to cancer care that addresses all participants at all levels of their being and experience." It is important for patients to be aware of this option, because physicians practicing in this field might be better able to help them to:

Mind/body therapies [21] may have whole body impacts that are meaningful but difficult to measure scientifically. These therapies provide an internal sense of mastery, enable greater flexibility in emotions [15] and beliefs, and empower individuals to make comprehensive lifestyle changes that were previously unobtainable.
Research has supported their use in many different subsets of cancer patients.
Many people find that massage [7] brings a temporary feeling of wellbeing and relaxation.
Massage is also used to relieve pain and stiffness, increase mobility, rehabilitate injured muscles, and reduce the pain of headaches [26] and backaches [27]. Massage therapy [28] has shown positive impacts in more than 5,000 research studies.
In cancer patients, massage therapy and manual lymphatic drainage improve lymphedema; decrease stress [29], anxiety, depression [23], pain, and fatigue; and improve sleep [25].
This category includes practices such as healing touch [8], therapeutic touch [30], Reiki [9], acupressure, Qi Gong [10], and others. These practices are delivered through the hands, with intent to raise the amount of universal life energy (qi or ch'i [31]) and balance the energy flow within the body by unblocking or removing disturbances within the body's energy paths.
Proponents claim that the blockage or disturbance of the body's energy paths is associated with illness, weakness, and pain. Energy medicine practitioners focus on realigning and strengthening the flow of energy in order to decrease pain, ease muscle tension, speed healing, improve sleep [25], and generally enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Some research on cancer patients has found improved fatigue and quality of life through these techniques.
Acupuncture [32], as used within the system of Traditional Chinese Medicine [33], may have multiple impacts on both the cancer itself and on symptom management in ways that is not well understood.
There is ample evidence indicating that acupuncture can help with the nausea associated with chemotherapy and post-operatively from anesthesia.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis is, for most individuals and their families, a scary and traumatic experience. It is important to take time to think clearly and work to understand the diagnosis, treatment, and the short- and long-term implications of the condition. It is critical, no matter what the cancer or its extent, that the patient find hope and support [6].
The timing on integrating healing practices into cancer care will vary.
Speak to your own oncologist about services available in the local area, but also talk to other cancer patients about local resources. National centers can also sometimes help individuals find local resources. Nationally, integrative oncology is a growing field, and you may be able to find a consultant on this.

WUZZY - the politically incorrect term "muzzy" in the 1728 folkpoem cited below* was changed to "wuzzy" in 2008 because it was feared that it might offend the world's wild-eyed radical Muslims. Instead the word "wuzzy" offended the wild-eyed radical feminists of the world regardless of their creed, race, color, or lack thereof.

Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy was she?

Posts: 1554
Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi
1. An apprehensive, indecisive person.
2. A small village.
For 1: After Hamlet, the prince of Denmark in Shakespeare's play Hamlet. The opening of Hamlet's soliloquy "To be, or not to be" is among the best-known lines in literature. Earliest documented use: 1903.
For 2: From Old French hamelet, diminutive of hamel (village), which itself is a diminutive of ham (village). Ultimately from the Indo-European root tkei- (to settle or dwell), which also gave us home, haunt, hangar, and site. Earliest documented use: 1330.
The idiom "Hamlet without the Prince" is used to refer to an event or a performance taking place without its main character. USAGE:
"With some he is a Hamlet, a divided man who is always questioning himself."
John S. Dunne; Time And Myth; University of Notre Dame Press; 2012.
"The Baroness was right on one point: he was a Hamlet; his soliloquy might have run, 'To be married or not to be married / That is the question.'"
Herbert Leibowitz; "Something Urgent I Have to Say to You": The Life and Works of William Carlos Williams; Farrar, Straus, and Giroux; 2011.
1) a Potemkin Village
2) Hamlet without the Prince

Victoria scored three runs in the top of the first, but Lady Trojan hurler Theresa Amador then shut down the East offense for the next few innings. The Titans did get one run in the third, but the Beeville girls pushed across four runs of their own in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game at 4-4.
The fifth and sixth were the problem innings for the Lady Trojans. Three East runners crossed the plate in the fifth and then two more scampered home in the sixth to put the game in the win column for the visitors. The Lady Trojans failed to answer in the late innings, but they did pound out 13 hits in the contest. Five Beeville errors helped the Titan cause while the visitors committed just one error on the night.
Amador pitched all seven innings for the Lady Trojans, giving up 12 hits and allowing just three earned runs.
"Theresa Amador pitched good enough to win against East. We need to play solid on defense for seven innings, and I feel we can beat anyone in the district," said Lady Trojan head coach Jose Flores.
Lynn Puente, Amanda Gonzales, Andrea Briseno and Alyssa Bates each had two hits in the game for the Lady Trojans. Amador, Rebecca De Los Santos, Taylor Castillo, Eddika Ortega and Rebekah Mendoza all had base hits. Castillo, Ortega, Briseno and Bates were credited with RBIs in the game.
"We are close to becoming a good team. Our goal has not changed with the 0-3 start," said Flores.
"We think we are a playoff team, and we expect to win at Port Lavaca on Tuesday night."
The Lady Trojans host Calallen on Friday night in their next home game.
