Hey guys, got a few questions on calculus that i need help on you can just help on the ones you know.
1). find the nth term of Maclaurin series for the function xsin3s
b). find the taylor series expansion, up to and incl. powers of 2 for the function e^xy^2 about (1,2)
Did you read the "sticky", "rules for posting..."?
You should not post more than 2 questions in a thread (and you have from 5 to 10 depending on how you count distinct "questions").
And you certainly should not just post questions without any indication as to what you have tried yourself!
I'm very sorry, I didnt read it no, I knew it was too good to be true to post up all them questions in one thread and by any luck get all the answers back, I could've started like 5 threads though, but I thought its better if I put them all in one, incase you know, I get told off. Uhm, its out of desperation that I posted all them questions up without showing I have tried to work any of them out because, all the ones I've worked out are like, wrong so I thought if I turn to a forum then I might get the answer I need, but obviously, I've tried to work it out myself, but haven't any luck, thats why I'm here, . But uhm sorry again for the 5-10 or more questions posted here, for future reference should I have started 5 different threads?

Montesinos Amilibia, José María y Hilden, Hugh Michael y Lozano Imízcoz, María Teresa (1988) On the universal group of the Borromean rings. In Differential topology. Lecture notes in mathematics (1350). Springer-Verlag, Berlín, pp. 1-13. ISBN 0075-8434
URL Oficial: http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/BFb0081464/page/1
The authors improve the result of their previous paper on universal groups [the authors and W. Whitten, Invent. Math. 87, 411-456] and apply them to prove several interesting results on 3-manifolds. We quote some of these results below, adding necessary definitions: Definition. Let U be a discrete group of isometries of hyperbolic 3-space, H 3 . One says that U is universal if it has the following property: If M 3 is any closed oriented 3- manifold, then there is a finite index subgroup, G(M 3 ), of U such that M 3 is the orbit space of the action of G(M 3 ) on H 3 . Theorem 1. There is a universal group U which is a subgroup of PSL 2 (A ^), where A ^ is the ring of algebraic integers of the field Q(2,i,t). Furthermore U is an arithmetic group (a subgroup of index 120 in the tetrahedral reflection group). Theorem 4. The universal group U has an index four subgroup N which acts freely on H 3 . Also, U/N is cyclic. Theorem 5. Every closed oriented 3- manifold can be "pentagulated"; that is, obtained from a finite set of dodecahedra by pasting along pentagonal faces in pairs. Theorem 6. Any closed oriented 3-manifold has a cell decomposition whose 2-skeleton is the image of an immersion of a disconnected surface with boundary. The immersion is in general position. Definition. A 3-manifold is called dodecahedral if it is a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold with a tesselation by regular, right-dihedral angled hyperbolic dodecahedra. Theorem 7. Every closed 3-manifold is the orbit space of an orientation preserving ℤ/4 action on a dodecahedral manifold. Theorem 8. Let π be the fundamental group of a compact oriented 3-manifold M 3 . Then π is isomorphic to a group of fixed point free, tesselation preserving, isometries of a dodecahedral manifold.

The Daytona 500 Results
Rain might have delayed today's Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, but it certainly did not take away from the excitement of the sport's premiere event.
Joe Gibbs Racing was a large part of today's excitement with all three cars in the top ten in the closing laps, but when it was over, Denny Hamlin's second-place effort would be team's best finish on this night, while Matt Kenseth would earn a strong sixth-place finish, and a late accident left Kyle Busch back in 19th.
Denny Hamlin entered today's Daytona 500 exuding confidence following his victories last week in the Sprint Unlimited All-Star race and Thursday's qualifying duel race. A win in the Great American Race would have provided Hamlin a sweep of the speedweek events, but his No. 11 FedEx Express Camry came up just one spot short of what would have been an historic accomplishment. Hamlin lined up fourth for the start of today's race courtesy of that win in Thursday second qualifying race and once again proved to have a car capable of winning. Strong storms would hit Daytona International Speedway on lap 38 causing a lengthy 6 hour 22 minute delay and turning the Sunday afternoon affair into a primetime viewing event. When the race restarted Hamlin discovered issues with his radio communication limiting his ability to hear his spotter. Despite the difficulties in communication, Hamlin would battle in the top ten throughout the night as the field shuffled leaders numerous times throughout the night with several pit strategies at play. Hamlin would connect late in the race with his teammates and the three appeared primed to drive to the front of the field with six to go. However an untimely caution allowed the field to re-set for a final restart with two to go. Hamlin, restarted in sixth and managed to work his way through the traffic to run second to the 88 car, but without radio communication with his spotter to aid in his navigation around the final turns, he would fall just short of the win and had to settle for a strong second-place effort.
Matt Kenseth started the No. 20 Dollar General Toyota from the third position courtesy of his win Thursday in the first of two Duel races that set the lineup for positions 3-43. He was running at the front with the leaders when the team made the call to come down pit road during an early caution period. The high volume on pit road proved problematic for many and Kenseth was forced to spin his way into his stall to avoid missing it altogether. Despite the spin and forcing the crew to pit the car while facing the opposite direction of a normal spot, Kenseth would only lose some of his track position. After a nearly six and a half hour rain delay Kenseth would restart the race just outside the top ten, but he managed to work his way back up front and with six laps to go he found himself partnered with his two teammates in a line that appeared set to go all the way to the front. But a poorly timed caution flag would stop that momentum and allow the field to come together one last time for a green white checker finish. Matt would line up eighth on the restart and managed to pick up two spots to finish in sixth.
Kyle Busch started his No. 18 M&Ms Peanut Toyota from the 37th position but wasted no time at all driving his way into the top ten. When the storms hit the famed Speedway, Busch was leading the field. The field would shuffle leaders several times throughout the race with various pit strategies at play. Rain would put a halt to things on lap 39 and after a nearly six and a half hour delay, he would pull off pit road to lead the field to green once again. Shortly thereafter Busch brought his No. 18 Camry down pit road for four tires and fuel, but the air horse somehow got stuck and when he pulled out of the pits it was dragging behind the car. NASCAR ruled it as equipment outside of the box and issued a pass through penalty that caused Busch to fall one lap off the pace. He would ride in the lucky dog position for many laps hoping for a caution that would allow him to get back on the lead lap and have the chance to compete for a win. That caution would come on lap 146 and Busch would once again waste little time in driving his way back inside the top ten. With six to go he had connected with both of his teammates and the three appeared ready to race for a win but a caution would allow the field to come together one more time. Busch would get loose following the final restart and contact from the 4 car as the field came out of turn four for the final time would send his M&Ms Camry across the track just prior to the start/finish line. He would finish 19th officially.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. of Hendrick Motorsports would capture the win, followed by Hamlin, while Brad Keselowski was third, Jeff Gordon fourth, and Jimmie Johnson rounded out the top five. There were seven cautions for a total of 39 laps and 42 lead changes among 18 different drivers.

Great Northern | East of Wilton
Posted By Sarah Backhouse On September 25, 2008 @ 10:01 pm In G Living,G/Videos,Pop Culture / Celebrities | No Comments
I'm outnumbered by the West of Lincoln posse at G Living, and when it comes to commuting – sure, cycling to work beats bumper to bumper traffic. But when it comes to music, being East of Wilton (self-coined, you like?) literally rocks. Silverlake and its surrounds is the epicenter of the L.A. music scene — home to cool bands and artists like Silversun Pickups, Lavender Diamond, not to mention Elliott Smith. East of Wilton is where it's at to catch a live gig any night of the week. Not to mention the annual Sunset Junction festival.
We were all utterly spoiled by Great Northern's performance in our kitchen studio this week. I mean, when do you get a slice of Spaceland in your own space? Our private concert consisted of two melodic tracks from their Trading Twilight for Daylight album, "Just A Dream" and "Home", which is getting massive airplay on KCRW and Indie 103.1 FM.
So, why wasn't I surprised to learn that the two founding members — Rachel Stolte and Solon Bixler — live a mere stone's throw from maison Backhouse in Los Feliz. But then again, where else would a cool musician live?

Firefighters are battling a major blaze in the Christchurch suburb of Hornby.
Emergency services and police rushed to the Brixton Rd property, believed to be a former community hall or Masonic Lodge, just before 11am after a series of explosions were heard.
Police southern communication spokesman Trevor Cross was unable to confirm reports that a methamphetamine lab was involved.
Police and CIB officers from the suburban Hornby station were attending, but mainly to control traffic in the area, Mr Cross said.
A Fire Service communications centre spokesman said six fire engines, a command unit and a hazards unit were at the scene.
A large structure at the address was "well involved," he said.
Callers had indicated there had been a number of explosions as the fire broke out.
The Fire Service communications supervisor said the hazards unit was on site in case firefighters needed to be decontaminated.
"All we're doing is taking precautions," he said.
Police hadn't advised firefighters that a drugs laboratory might be involved, he said.

God's uses people to enact His will
We read this in Psalm 55:23: "But you, God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitful will not live out half their days." The question of celebration aside, we should not be surprised when God chooses/uses men to work His will, as He has done since the beginning. And we should especially not be surprised when that will is worked by leaders elected/appointed not for their Christian heart or godly wisdom but for their pluralistic appeal and human intellect.
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Two statements from his brief post struck me most particularly:
"After 9/11 I found it very hard to bring myself to pray for Usama bin Laden. But by God's grace I did because Jesus said I must. And though I am tempted to rejoice today, I will not because Jesus said I must not."
I believe that this statement is powerful. In it is revealed the Christian politic. Our Lord is Lord in the sense the Caesar was called Lord and King (so PLEASE, let's stop over-spiritualizing Jesus as "Lord"). Christians do not think for themselves/in themselves...we do not act on every emotional whim...we are not our own. We who uphold the Christian polity do that which we do not always feel like doing. In doing these things, the new kingdom is revealed in and through us--the church, the incubator of the Kingdom, and in that apocalypse, forgiveness and reconciliation is not only possible but real.
"For the followers of Jesus Christ, no one's death is a cause for rejoicing. This applies to Osama bin Laden no less than to any other evildoer, large or small. Jesus Christ died for all; there are no irredeemable people. The path of repentance is open to anyone willing to walk on it, and no human being has the right to permanently close that path for anyone."
There is something earth-rattling about our ancestors who could not help but to sing St. Augustine's "O felix culpa quae talem et tantum meruit habere redemptorem" (O happy fault that merited such and so great a Redeemer) as part of the Exsultet during the Great Vigil of Easter. The "happy fault" St. Augustine taught us to celebrate is all-inclusive. When we do as I love to do as much as anything else--bring together East and West for all its worth--I think the universality of sin and salvation becomes all the more clear. St. John Chrysostom's Paschal homily is ecstatic joy on paper...he is so caught up in the good news of resurrection that he cannot leave anyone out of the grand invitation to the feast.
"Wherefore, enter you all into the joy of your Lord; and receive your reward, both the first, and likewise the second. You rich and poor together, hold high festival. You sober and you heedless, honor the day. Rejoice today, both you who have fasted and you who have disregarded the fast. The table is full-laden; feast ye all sumptuously. The calf is fatted; let no one go hungry away."
Because of Easter, as masterfulIy exemplified in St. Chrysostom and St. Augustine alike, the Father invites all to the table of redemption, including Osama bin Laden. Not because we are worthy of the table, but because the Lamb of God has taken away of the sin of the world. It is not easy to accept such mercy...some of us showed up at the first hour--we do not like to see those who showed up at the last hour receiving the same reward...the heedless being welcomed to the banquet...nevertheless, Christ welcomes us all.
The great song of Easter exclaims, "Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs, bestowing life!" He has not trampled down just some portion of death and darkness, but all of it...and all of those held in its chains (thankfully me too) are the objects of the bestowal of life. I think we do best to celebrate this truth!
Alleluia! Christ is risen!!!!
Death of a Terrorist
As a Christian, mother of two and a US Army Veteran, I am disappointed that Usama bin Laden was assassinated. Even more so as the news depicts this outcome as the intent of the mission from the start. Assassination can never be rationalized or thought of as justified. Yes, I too am relieved that his reign has ended, but am not proud of how he was dealt with. Americans should not condone the method at which he was "dispatched" lest the military and Commander in Chief forget that they serve a democracy, government by the people through their elected officials, and not an autocracy. Jesus died for all who sin, which is all of us.
Blog response
I have posted a response to this blog and hope others will engage with it here:
A confusing post
It is a confusing time, so I just it should come as no shock that this is a confusing post. Volf's last paragraph I agree with, but having a hard time reconciling it with the last bullet point he makes and with the U.K. scholar he quotes. I will expand on this on my own blog later.
bin Laden's wrong does not guarantee Obama's right
I agree with you that the action of invading other country to root out the wrong doer is dangerous, especially when it is done by the world's super-power.
I wonder if the United Nations should voice their objection toward such act.
I fear that from now on, the USA can walk her way into whereever she likes to radar, invade, and kill whoever she likes in the name of justice, including even the innocent. If there is a law that restraint the use of police power, could the government of Pakistan, or any world citizen, sue the States for her lawlessness?
And could this be a Christian plea?
Would this be the same UN that, until recently, had Libya on its Human Rights panel? Perhaps the US could be sued for her lawlessness, but would Pakistan jeopardise the 18 Billion dollars the US has funnelled its way to prevent it from becoming a failed state? The US has done some stupid, immoral things, but who is alone there? Now what would the world be like with Pakistan as the primary superpower I wonder?
Besides all this, we place too much emphasis on the state to behave in a godly and coherent fashion. The church is the counter-state in the Scriptures, a demonstration to the onlooking world of what justice and love should look like. I can't remember any biblical precedence to hand that agenda over to a political power, so why are we so uptight when the state acts like the Bible says the state will act?
There is more tension here than meets the eye
As a neo-ana-baptist who is a communicant in a real ana-baptist church/denomination I have a deep ambivalence to the State in general. One has to ask what is the State for if anything? As a preliminary answer I would offer that across a large segment of Christendom across a long period of time the answer would be: "to constrain evil and institute justice". In that vein one might consider rejoicing that the State has has met the standard, with the eternally unfortunate waste of a life remembered as a unrepentent mass murderer and whatever his life choices imply for his eternal future. While "precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints", has been comforting for many many generations of Christians as they imagine simple sainthood...are their truly spiritual codicals to this like, "precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of the enemy of his saints" or "precious to the eyes of the Lord's saints is the passing of their enemies"? These are not the cases in my mind, made in Obadiah. The canonical picture seems to be the mourning of the passing of those who are loved, and in what we have lost. All in all, we hold all of this in great tension as in fact we were intended to.
As for American exceptionalism, that is another issue all together, the treaty of Westphalia is not the last word on soveriegnty in the earth, and one would note that in Libya, a multiplicity of states with approval by ?another sovereign? have transgressed Westphalia's "principles" as well.
Again as a neo-ana-baptist I want to keep my allegiance to Christ and my love/responsibility to my brothers and sisters in Christ, and even many times to those images of God who are not, above and beyond the fabric/commitments of the State. You have mixed them together in this argument. I would consider Milbank here "...the state makes a poor church...", whether Westphalia "stands or falls" or "stood or fell" was and is a transitory construct of men, in many ways an illusory symbol serving realpolitik. It should mean very little to us it is a simulacrum of a convenant creating a simulacrum of a church.
Exception to exceptionalism
Yes, we do allow sovereign states the right to act as we did. If Israel had done the same, not only would it it be applauded, it likely would have been lionized.

Cheats and Walkthroughs
Journey is the next game from the developers of PlayStation 3 hit, Flower. The game combines elements of single-player and MMO without being trapped in either genre. Journey is a PSN exclusive set for later this year.
"After around 15 minutes of exploring some ruins, sand surfing down massive dunes, and generally losing myself in the game world, I spotted my first fellow explorer in the distance. As I moved closer, the traveler sang a series of notes to get my attention, or to insult me. That's one of the beauties of the game. Since there's no chat feature, you have no idea who the other players are that you encounter or what they are actually trying to say to you, so it's up to you to imagine. While I wasn't exactly looking for a companion at that particular moment, it was nice to have another person to explore with for a little bit, especially when we reached a particularly long jump that I wouldn't have been able to make had the other player not been there to recharge my jump in midair."

Equity markets are more or less at multi-month highs but equity mutual fund flows are still negative! Isn't this a very bearish sign for stocks as they are moving higher on "thin air"? Contrary to popular belief this is actually a very bullish sign as it suggests that equities are increasingly being transferred to "strong" hands from "weak" hands. It also suggests that equities remain in an extreme oversold condition. Granted no indicator is perfect but from the graph below you will notice that oversold conditions in the market coincide with negative cashflows into mutual funds.
ICI Net Cashflows into Growth Equity Mutual Funds
Not until I see evidence of the average retail investor piling into equity mutual funds will I entertain the idea that equity markets are overbought. We have a long way to go before moms and pops get excited about the equity market and become fully invested in "risky" assets.
A bull market creeps up on you when you least expect it. Perhaps the growing chorus of investors calling the market "overbought" is a contrarian sign in itself, a sign that investors are still scarred from the volatility of the last two years and do not believe that equity markets can move materially higher. I think that equity markets will move materially higher over the coming months, accordingly I see any weakness as a buying opportunity rather than reason to sell.
Disclosure: I am long DIA.

Fr. Richard J. Neuhaus on Islam and Reform
Commenting on a prior post by Paul Zummo on "Religious Egalitarianism", I had cited the provocative comment of the late Fr. James Neuhaus:
Yet more troubling is the message that Islam, in order to become less of a threat to the world, must relativize its claim to possess the truth. That plays directly into the hands of Muslim rigorists who pose as the defenders of the uncompromised and uncompromisible truth and who call for death to the infidels. If Islam is to become tolerant and respectful of other religions, it must be as the result of a development that comes from within the truth of Islam, not as a result of relativizing or abandoning that truth. Is Islam capable of such a religious development? Nobody knows. But, if the choice is between compromising Islamic truth or a war of civilizations, it is almost certain that the winner among Muslims will be the hard-core Islamism that [Bernard] Lewis rightly views as such a great threat.
Christianity is more, not less, vibrantly Christian as a result of coming to understand more fully the mysterious and loving ways of God in His dealings also with non-Christians. Although the story of this development is complex, the important truth is that tolerance and mutual respect are religious, not secular, achievements. I will say it again: the reason we do not kill one another over our disagreements about the will of God is that we believe it is against the will of God to kill one another over our disagreements about the will of God. Christians have come to believe that. We must hope that more and more Muslims will come to believe that. That will not happen, however, if they are told that coming to believe that will make them less faithful Muslims.
I was asked by a reader to expand on Neuhaus' remarks, and as I've no wish to hijack Paul's post (particularly as it wasn't about Islam per se), here's some further food for thought.
What does Neuhaus mean? — My guess here is that Neuhaus is referring to the fact that many critics of religion in evaluating religious issues today, operate on the equation that
"universal claims to truth, in the form of divine revelation" = "fundamentalism" = "religious extremism"
and that one necessarily and irrevocably leads to the other. Such an equation cannot be dismissed out of hand. With respect to Christianity, the tendency is to refer to such historical moments as the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the French "Wars of Religion" (1562-98), the "Thirty Years War" (1618-1648) — centuries where, if it was not otherwise directed toward outward expansion was engaged in interminable infighting between Catholics and Protestants. And with respect to Islam, we need only point to its history of conquest by the sword.
The Boston Globe journalist and ex-priest James Carroll (Constantine's Sword) asserts that the real solution for Christian antisemitism lies in a theological dismantling of Christianity itself and is innate claims of supercessionism. As Fr. Edward Flannery notes in Anguish of the Jews, the "Chosen people"'s claim to divine election and self-imposed segregation has been perceived as an insufferable arrogance down through the centuries. Ditto for Islam's notion of being the original AND final revelation (a correction to Judaism and Christianity) motivating its desire to subjugate the globe.
From such a perspective, laims to divine revelation serve only as recipies for religious extremism, to be countered by a moderation — a theological downsizing and relativization of its religious claims. Here I happen to agree with Neuhaus: we shouldn't expect Muslims to be any more receptive to this call for religious dismantling than Christians and Jews.
I don't think we can dismiss Neuhaus as deluded here. He has recommended "a careful and critical reading" of Bat Ye'or's , long before this kind of writing became a fashionable cottage industry post-911 by less-reputable "scholars". In fact, he also touches on this matter in his review of Ye'Or's book ("The Approaching Century of Religion" First Things 76: October 1997):
Of the two assertive and culture-forming religions in the contemporary world, Christianity has enormous advantages over Islam, quite apart from the question of theological truth. There are approximately twice as many Christians as Muslims (two billion and one billion, respectively). Christianity is growing at least as fast as Islam and has greater evangelizing prospects, notably in Asia, especially if China really opens up. Moreover, today's world is not hospitable to jihad in the form of conquest, but is increasingly susceptible to the communications technology mastered by the Christian West. Moreover, the Christian movement is on the far side of modernity, having gone through and survived, not without severe damage, its secularizing and explicitly antireligious impulses. Islam, by contrast, has for three centuries been largely left out; it has been the object rather than the subject of world-historical change. As that intrepid scholar Bernard Lewis reminds us, Islam views the dar al-harb of Christendom as the Great Satan, meaning the Great Tempter. Militant Islamism is driven by suspicion and ressentiment. Which can make the world a very dangerous place, as it is already a very dangerous in, for instance, the Middle East.
A great question facing Islam–and for us as we face Islam–is whether there are authentically Islamic sources that can religiously legitimate democracy and religious pluralism. From the beginning, Christianity has had the great asset of what some derisively call its "dualism"–the conceptual resource for distinguishing between spiritual and temporal authority, which has given it enormous flexibility in relating to different political and cultural circumstances from Theodosius to Hildebrand to the religion clause of the U.S. Constitution. Islam is emphatically monistic. That is a great asset when joined to military and political power in the course of conquest, but a disabling weakness under the conditions of postmodernity.
This truth impressed me at a recent conference sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations in which we were examining Islam and the democratic prospect in various parts of the world. As I write, the secular Kemalists (after Kemal Ataturk, who established the republic in 1923) have replaced an Islam-friendly government, and have done so in the name of democracy. The Kemalists control the army, and one Turkish participant at the conference observed with a straight face, "Turkey is in the peculiar circumstance that we may need a military dictatorship in order to preserve democracy." The assumption is that Islam and democracy are incompatible. It is an assumption that is given additional credibility by the Islamist insurgency in many Muslim countries. Of course there are other and very large parts of the Islamic world, such as Indonesia. I expect Bernard Lewis is right, however, in saying that any substantive change in Islamic doctrine must come from the Middle East, the world surrounding Mecca and Islam's constituting sacred story, a world still steeped in the Arab and Bedouin mindset of the Prophet.
Many Muslims will most likely perceive any call from non-Muslims to evaluate their truth claims as a bigoted threat. Many but not all. As Neuhaus observes, Islam is still in its chronological infancy as a religious tradition — it has not yet begun to address religious pluralism to the degree that Christianity has. Here I think we should be mindful of Neuhaus' concern: Christianity's own engagement with religious pluralism — in the form of the problematic theologies of the Presbyterian John Hick and Catholics like Roger Haight and Paul Knitter — has not been particularly healthy or beneficial for Christianity. See "Perils of Pluralism" by John Allen Jr. for a summary of the CDF's engagements and then-Ratzinger's own book <Truth And Tolerance: Christian Belief And World Religions (Ignatius, 2004). We should be wary, then, of any recommendations by liberals of a relativist prescription that has done such immense damage to Christianity.
Neuhaus entertains the notion of "authentically Islamic sources that can religiously legitimate democracy and religious pluralism". In 2008, his colleague George Weigel registered a similar hope for Islamic renewal in his book, Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism — not for an "Islamic Luther", but rather someone along the lines of Leo XIII:
"… toward the possibility of a religious leader who reaches back into the deeper philosophical resources of his tradition in order to broker a critical agreement with Enlightenment political thought, and to shape his tradition's encounter with the economic and political institutions of modernity."
Are Muslims capable of this endeavor? — Pope Benedict seems to thinks so. For the Pope, "Interreligious and intercultural dialogue between Christians and Muslims cannot be reduced to an optional extra. It is in fact a vital necessity, on which in large measure our future depends"; Nostrae Aetate's statement on Islam remains "the Magna Carta of the [Christian-Muslim] dialogue" (address to the Muslim community of Cologne, August 2005).
To the issue of Christian/Muslim antagonism and whether popes should envision themselves as defenders of the West against Islamization, Benedict responds: "Today we are living in a completely different world, in which the battle lines are drawn differently. In this world, radical secularism stands on one side, and the question of God, in its various forms, stands on the other." (Light of the World 2010).
For some earlier posts on this topic, see: "Pope Benedict, Islam and the Prospect of Reform" (4/3/07); Readings in Islam: "Islam, Fundamentalism, and the Betrayal of Tradition" (07/02/07).

9 Responses to Fr. Richard J. Neuhaus on Islam and Reform
Pope Benedict made a valiant attempt to move the question of Islam onto the plane of reason, but the evidence indicates that he has failed. The better Muslims are in fact the same ones who do not understand or act on the tenets of their belief system. Reforming Islam is a lost cause, their hope of salvation lies in becoming Christians. Mark Shea nailed with his article on Islam and the Koran some time ago, in which he points out that Islam is a man-made system. Thus if one wants to find the bits about honouring one's parents its there along with the bits about waging eternal war on the infidels. When he's good he's really good.
The only good muslim I ever saw was a convert to Christianity.
In my partially-educated opinion, there is some hope for Islam reforming itself *if* it can reach back to the era of 800-1100, the time of its greatest intellectual/philosophical ferment. It was a lot more flexible (not to mention humanist) before the various madh'habs succeeded in painting the religion into a corner. Khalid Abou El Fadl at UCLA has been diligently trying to retrieve such from the Islamic past.
Christ is in our midst!
Thank you so much for this post. Recently I have been having several conversations directly related to this matter. More to follow…
Pingback: SATURDAY AFTERNOON EDITION | ThePulp.it
"Khalid Abou El Fadl at UCLA has been diligently trying to retrieve such from the Islamic past."
Considering that it is Islam's "Ideal Man," Allah's "beautiful pattern of conduct" for those who want to please it, it looks like Fadl been "diligently trying to deceive," not "retrieve."
Yup, I thought that name rang a bell; here's a link to a post I wrote in response to his lies back in 2005:
Here's more from the horse's mouth:
"a critical agreement with Enlightenment political thought…"
I'm not sure that "brokering" such an agreement is a good thing, either for Christians or Muslims.

Thought I would bump this up to the top as we are only accepting apps for a few more days for our first round of applicants.
You will not be have to work "any shift, any day", we work standard hours.
You will actually get paid a decent wage! We want to keep good employees!
You will never have to deal with a "stuck mash" again, we don't have a lauter tun.
You will have a voice in the creation of new beers - even as an Assistant Brewer!
All of the above!
Job Announcement: Assistant Brewer
Tin Man Brewing Company is currently accepting applications for Assistant Brewer. We are a micro-brewery in the start-up phase, and are currently in the middle of construction of our 20,000 square foot facility. We plan to hire for a start date in the middle of June, 2012.
Located in Evansville, Indiana, our brewery sits on the edge of the three largest US craft beer supermarkets. We are well positioned to grow quickly in order to serve these markets using our unique brewing system and techniques. We are the first customer of the new High Efficiency Brewing System (HEBS) from IDD, which will allow us to brew very quickly and with a significant reduction in consumables.
Evansville is a beautiful city located on the southern tip of Indiana on the Ohio river. With a newly renovated river walk and Main Street, it also has a new 11,000 seat arena, semi-pro hockey and baseball teams, a river boat casino, a thriving night life, many family-focused events, and boasts the second largest American street festival (next to Mardi Gras).
Tin Man is different!
We think outside of the box*when it comes to how to brew craft beer. We are currently implementing three key technologies that are revolutionary in and of themselves, but will change the way you are used to working. So the ideal candidate is an experienced professional brewer, who is very good at thinking about the best, and most efficient way to work.
We also believe that the best beer comes from those with the biggest heart and drive to create. Many assistants do not have the ability to express this in a production brewery, but we are different! We will have an Assistant/Cellarman line of beers that will be served in our tasting room. So the ideal candidate will also be driven to create unique beer.
We estimate our first year of production to be 6,200 HL (get used to it - were metric :), which we hope to increase to 20,000 HL by year five.
Position Attributes:
- Reports directly to the Head Brewer
- Main duties to assist and support Head Brewer in completion of the brewing process
- Communicate with the public in our tasting room
- Aid in the creation of new beer recipes
- Heavy role in yeast management
Required skills and attributes:
- A minimum of 1 full year of professional brewing experience as a full-time production brewer
- Physical abilities commensurate with the duties of brewing, in the form of passing a physical fitness test and performance of duties test. The duties test will focus on flexibility, manual dexterity and stamina
- Excellent communication skills with the public, personable
Preferred skills and attributes (not necessarily in our priority order):
- Industry brewing education with completion certificate
- In depth knowledge of microbiology, chemistry and thermodynamics
- Ability to make Head Brewer laugh daily ;)
- Mechanical troubleshooting and repair
- Multitasking and time management skills
- Has individual ideas, but integrates well into a team
- Forklift certified
- Packaging experience
- Cask and barrel aging experience
- Brewery laboratory experience
Time Frame:
We will accept applications for this position from April 1st through April 20th. We will begin review of these applications starting on April 23rd. We will continue to collect resumes until the position is filled, but the first round applicants will have priority.
Starting Salary: $32,000 annually
The perfect candidate will be at the beginning of their professional brewing career, and the above salary is commensurate with this level of experience. Candidates with an exemplary resume will be considered at their commensurate salaries.
Review Process:
We love homebrewers, however we are not yet accepting applications for brewers with no professional experience (dont worry - we will in the future). We will be discarding from the consideration pool, any resumes that do not list the number of years of continuous full-time production (micro or brewpub) brewing experience within the first paragraph of the resume. If the experience is less than two years, list the number of months instead.
After this has been met, we will review the application in order of our preferred skills and attributes. We like individualism and creativity, which is why we are not making you type everything over again into an online resume form (yuck ;). So use your cover letter to have a little freedom to be yourself. Use your resume to state the facts about your skills, education and work history.
Provide three work related, non-family references with your submission. Candidates who move forward, will have these references contacted.
Submission Process:
Email cover letter and resume to firstname.lastname@example.com, in the form of a PDF file. Any other file types will be discarded from the consideration pool. Make sure to type "Assistant Brewer" in the subject line.
Luck of the Irish be with you,
Sean ORear

On Monday, I — like thousands of others nationwide — will begin my quixotic attempt to write a 50,000 word novel as part of National Novel Writing Month. If you're not a writer, trust me — this is an ambitious goal, and any novel produced in 30 days is going to be pretty ragged. But the exercise is meant to promote good work habits. Too many writers, and I am chief among them, wait so long for the perfect idea that we don't write, and writing is how you get to the perfect idea.
So the novel I write (or try to write) during November is not likely to be very good, at least in this original form. But it could be fun. At the suggestion of the fine folks at Blogger (which is where I found out about NaNoWriMo to begin with), I'm going to be posting my novel to a special blog as I go along. This is an unusual step for a writer; most of us are jealous of our works in progress. But the fact that this is an admittedly-bad novel makes it kind of fun to share.
Anyhoo, the novel will be at [invalid URL edited]. Stop by next week, check it out, and hold your nose while you leave encouraging comments.
I have no idea whether I will make 50,000 words, or even if I will make it to the end of the month. But I think it's a good idea for me to try. There's been so much going on in my life in the past few months — work, missions, personal relationships, finances and what have you — that maybe it will be cathartic in a general sense for me to create some fiction. And it will be fiction. There will be a small-town setting, and some ideas drawn from personal experience, but this won't be very autobiographical, and I'm determined not to base any of the characters too closely on any one person.

Yash Raj Films Cracks Down On Copyright Infringers In Chicago, USA
7 April 2006
Yash Raj Films (USA) Inc.'s policy of working will federal and state law enforcement agencies to fight media piracy across the United States and in Canada and commencing civil actions for damages against copyright infringers continues to be successful.
Yash Raj has obtained substantial civil judgments for copyright infringement against the owners and operators of two Chicago businesses, Geet Video and India Books and Music, and have settled Yash Raj's infringement claims against the owner of a third store, Video Vision.
In December, 2003, Yash Raj cooperated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and the Chicago Police Department in seizing approximately 97,000 DVD's, audio cassettes, videocassettes and CD's containing counterfeit and pirated copies of Indian films and music, hundreds of video copying machines, copies of counterfeit artwork, VHS labels and counterfeit holograms, computers, business records, and equipment and supplies used for packaging counterfeit products from the six retail locations:
1. Geet Video, 6353 N. Western Avenue
2. Devika Five Star, 2502 W. Devon Avenue
3. India Books, 2729 W. Devon Avenue
4. Raj Video, 2515 W. Devon Avenue
5. Videotron, 2331 W. Devon Avenue
6. Video Vision, 2524 W. Devon Avenue
Following successful criminal prosecutions of the owners of these stores, Yash Raj through its attorneys, Poppe & Bhouraskar, LLP, filed civil copyright infringement claims against the owners of each of the stores in United States District Court.
The recent District Court judgments serve as a warning that Yash Raj intends to pursue persons and businesses that duplicate, display or distribute illegal, unauthorized copies of any and all films to which Yash Raj holds the copyrights and prosecute such infringers to the fullest extent of the law.
Working with RIAA, city, state and federal law enforcement agencies and its attorneys, Poppe & Bhouraskar, Yash Raj intends to identify and prosecute all parties manufacturing and selling counterfeit VHS cassettes and DVD's containing Yash Raj motion pictures and audio albums.

TUESDAY, Oct. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Hip resurfacing has an "unacceptably high" failure rate, particularly in women, according to a study published online Oct. 2 in The Lancet.
Alison J. Smith, from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, and colleagues analyzed the National Joint Registry for England and Wales for primary total hip replacements (THRs) performed between 2003 and 2011 to assess the survival of different sizes of metal-on-metal resurfacing, compared with survival for conventional stemmed THRs.
The researchers found that there were 434,560 primary THRs, including 31,932 resurfacings. There was worse implant survival in women undergoing resurfacing than in conventional THR, regardless of head size. In 55-year-old women, the predicted five-year revision rates were 8.3 percent with a 42-mm resurfacing head, 6.1 percent with a 46-mm resurfacing head, and 1.5 percent with a 28-mm cemented metal-on-polyethylene stemmed THR. For men, resurfacing with smaller femoral heads resulted in poor implant survival. In 55-year-old men, the predicted five-year revision rates were 4.1 percent with a 46-mm resurfacing head, 2.6 percent with a 54-mm resurfacing head, and 1.9 percent with a 28-mm cemented metal-on-polyethylene stemmed THR. Only 23 percent of male resurfacing patients had head sizes of 54 mm or above.
"Hip resurfacing only resulted in similar implant survivorship to other surgical options in men with large femoral heads, and inferior implant survivorship in other patients, particularly women," the authors write. "We recommend that resurfacing is not undertaken in women and that preoperative measurement is used to assess suitability in men."

When the New York underground band Sonic Youth decided upon their name back in 1981, it must have seemed a pragmatic choice. They were audible to the human ear, and youthful. Nobody could have expected the band to be still going three decades on, but the name remains oddly apposite because the frontman Thurston Moore still has the shaggy fringe and boyish demeanour of a laid-back music dude. What's his secret?
On the strength of Demolished Thoughts, Moore's evergreen vigour is not down to an expensive skin hydration programme or discreet surgery but to an ongoing interest in the world
