Your thinking and rationale appears to be limited to that which can be verified by science. But science does change over time. So what is true today could be untrue tomorrow. So why be so stringent in your belief system.
That's the point, Champ. We live in a changing universe. Knowledge changes (ie, grows, builds, develops) over time. Your belief is limited, stringent, static. From your perspective, we'd still have slavery founded in ignorance, hate, greed, oppression, exploitation. Same with the homosexual issue. Same with your politics. Conservative means static. The two are interrelated. You are limited in growth because you adhere to ancient belief systems devised by humans in the first place. You're being forced to play catch-up without even realizing it. Your religion also is changing, but at a snails pace, whether you like it or not. And we're changing it for you, like it or not. And our numbers are growing also, but not as rapidly as they could because of your adherence and unwillingness to change (ie, grow, build, develop). You ought to get off that rickety old bandwagon and hop on the bullet train. But alas, I know I'm beating my head against a brick wall. That's the sad frustrating part.
I mean, what is the first thing you would do the moment your boat capsizes 80 miles out? You would cry out to God Almighty.
We have our own earth-based Trinity: Holy Shit!! Aw Fuck!! Thank Goodness!! We get better outcomes because it frees-up one hand from signing the cross to keep on the wheel.
C'mon Champ, you're just rattling our cages.
Or attempting to, anyway, in that quaint, deer-in-the-headlights kind of way that's so impressive to the most seriously hard core believers (i.e. the most deeply intellectually compromised).
If you haven't figured out the atheist mind after a couple thousand posts it means you don't care to.
... or haven't the intestinal fortitude.
Wow. The last thing I want to see at this point is The Chump's intestinal fortitude.
I thought he had passed on through ours long ago.
Not sure if this is the right discussion or place for this, but it seems as good as any ...
This is an article about a historic find of humanoid fossils, dating back 4.4 million years, or about one million years before "Lucy." 47 scientists from all over the world have been working on re-assembling this skeleton for 15 years (the original discovery was in Ethiopia in 1994). The bombshell in the discovery is ...
"[T]he new finds show that what seems most ancient about nonhuman primates today—such as canine fangs, long limbs with hooked fingers meant for swinging through trees and hands designed for knuckle-walking—may actually be the product of more recent development, the researchers said. In that sense, the human hand today actually may be the more primitive appendage, they said."
The problem with those of religious faith is that all true believers must, as a tenet of their faith, immediately reject this study. How can we have an intelligent conversation about the meaning of this important discovery if the earth did not exist 4.4 million years ago and evolution is merely a "theory" rejected by creationism? Indeed, the savvy few will bend the new reality around their religious dogma (i.e., "God made man in his image, and then some unfavored humans devolved into apes!!") and/or use it to attack the theory of evolution ("See, we did not evolve from apes.").
In a personally life-threatening incident when I thought I'd bought the farm…
Been in a few of these myself, amazing how it focuses the mind on issues related purely to survival. In such situations, prayer would be a useless distraction as opposed to taking steps that maximize the possibility of survival.
Champ, seriously - if you found yourself stuck 150 feet up on a 200 foot rock wall during a free climb with shaking limbs. Would you really take time to pray or would you be focused purely upon trying to find that next hand/foothold or maybe evaluating secondary options like wondering if you pushed off hard enough you could land on the tree 75 feet below you and get away with a few broken bones?
At what point in this scenario is prayer not a waste of resources?
Champ, seriously
1. Secure the radio.
2. Secure the life raft and life preservers.
3. Begin assessing the feasibility of righting the boat.
4. Thank God
*I've found that in life threatening or even adrenaline pumping situations, that requires instant decision making and reactionary response, I do not pray to God. It is almost always after the fact that I pray and thank God for his mercies.
Do you guys really think Champion is a Christian?...cause I'm banking on him just being a troll here to waste your time…
Do you guys really think Champion is a Christian?...cause I'm banking on him just being a troll here to waste your time…
He claims to be on your team - you talk to him.
Champ, seriously
Ha! Like Moral Majority, Christian Science or President Bush. Lovely.
Hi Champion.
I don't care what people believe or don't believe. However, the core of religion is theocracy, and theocracy is diametrically opposed to democracy.
You see, I believe in freedom, and the right of all individuals to live self-directed lives. I also believe that religions are quite simply cults which have garnered mainstream acceptance from society.
Hey guys and gals, question for you. What gives? Why so much hostility toward having "faith" in something, or faith in God, lets say?
Your thinking and rationale appears to be limited to that which can be verified by science. But science does change over time. So what is true today could be untrue tomorrow. So why be so stringent in your belief system. I mean, what is the first thing you would do the moment your boat capsizes 80 miles out? You would cry out to God Almighty. What is the first thing you would do the moment you hear the words, 'it might be liver cancer, we have to verify, but if it is, two months, maybe four with chemo.' Well you would cry out to God. When your life is on the life, I'm willing to bet, and I'm not a betting man, that each and every one of you in your own way would have a conversation with the dude you been fighting against all these years.
So I am trying to wrap my mind on how you process your thinking. Must all belief be verified by science? Is faith not allowed? What is your mental process to life?
Sorry, guess you guys can be my "lab rats" so I can understand the athiestic mind, I got a hunch that it purely stems from anger with God, sometimes I see things that make me ask - why? Why God, but I still take him at his Word, the bible, and I also put it down to his soverngty, and his Word says its a fallen world populated by sinful beings that need to be save and he is not willing that any should perish.
Thanks guys, look forward to your responses.
A muslim pilot is in jail in Itlay, because when his plane got into trouble he started praying to Allah, instead of trying to fix the problem. The plane crashed but he survived and was sent to prison for praying instead of save his passengers by devoting his time to fixing the problem.
Sam Harris dealt with with why atheists have problems with faith in a single paragraph(The End of Faith, pg. 44):
It is time we recognized that belief is not a private matter; it has never been merely private. In fact, beliefs are scarcely more private than actions are, for every belief is a fount of action in potentia. The belief that it will rain puts an umbrella in the hand of every man or woman who owns one. It should be easy enough to see that belief in the fully efficacy of prayer, for instance, becomes an emphatically public concern the moment it is actually put into practice: the moment a surgeon lays aside his worldly instruments and attempts to suture his patients with prayer, or a pilot tries to land a passenger jet with nothing but repetitions of the word "Hallelujah" applied to the controls, we are swiftly delivered from the provinces of private faith to those of a criminal court.
Hi, I think you have a great question that many Theists have and have never gotten a straight forward answer to. First I would like to address the part which you say our rational thinking is limited to things that can only be verified by science. This is completely untrue. Not all things have to backed up by science for us to give credence to it. When I say us I speak for me and the other atheist that I know, not everyone on this site may agree with me. For us to say that something is true, factual, or for anyone to make a claim it has to be verified by ample amounts of evidence. Science can change but it can only change one way. That one way that it can change, is when scientists make a claim that has evidence to support it but then do ample amounts of research to prove that it is completely true. During this process new understanding of this subject will arise and the theory or claim can be said to be a little different than what was originally claimed. This does not mean that the claim was completely false. All that it means is that we as humans now have an even better understanding about a specific subject matter. Scientists also do not say that something is 100% factual unless it can be proven to be 100% factual, that is why certain things a theories and not said to be fact. Although, it is a theory because there is very ample amounts of evidence to support it, other wise the scientific community will not even allow it to be called a theory. No, to the part you where you talk about the boat 80 miles off shore and the other things that you say, they can all be given the same answer. But first let me use an analogy to that will not only answer these things but also will give another answer to the topic that I was just discussing. My friend tells me that my girlfriend is cheating on me, do I automatically believe him? The answer is no. I would first need to see ample evidence that she is in fact cheating on me. Its not that I don't trust my friend but I would want evidence to show that she in fact is. So my point in saying this is Im not just going to assume something Im going to need evidence and this is not evidence that science can answer so I don't need science in this situation but I can still investigate and find evidence to prove the claim true or false. Also if it turned out that she was I would be very sad and want God to help because he makes me feel better and loved. Yet no matter how much God will make me fell better or in the case of the boat being capsized, giveing me hope of rescue, this does not mean he is real. This all might make me feel better and safer and any other thing that you might say, but still this does not make him real. When it comes down to it there is still no evidence for his existence. No, I have no argument or have any anger with God, their is just no evidence for his existence.
Thanks for reading, I hope this answers your question.

Corsair Memory, a leading maker of advanced memory modules and flash-based products, has quietly added Dominator GTX4 memory modules into the lineup. The new DDR3 products can formally be called the fastest in the industry since they can officially achieve speeds of up to 2.533GHz.
The new Corsair Dominator GTX4 2GB memory modules can operate at 2533MHz with CL9 11-10-30 latency settings with 1.65V voltage. Corsair claims that the new modules are designed to work in dual-channel mode with Intel Core i7/i5 processors in LGA1156 form-factor and on a high-quality Intel P55-based mainboard. In order to achieve maximum performance, Corsair strongly recommends to use its Airflow 2 GTL cooling fan assembly.
To date, a number of companies have announced 2.50GHz memory modules, however, Corsair has managed to increase the speed even further, albeit by just a tiny margin. While in real life the new Dominator GTX4 will hardly bring tangible performance benefits, the Freemont, California-based maker of high-end computer components can declare the world's fastest memory solution in terms of clock-speed.
According to CPU-Z overclock records database, the absolutely highest DDR3 memory clock-speed ever reached was 3459.6MHz. The record was set by overclocker Blue Ant using 2GB memory modules from G.Skill Memory, Gigabyte Technology P55-UD6 mainboard and Intel Core i7-870 processor operating at 2594.71MHz.
Corsair Dominator GTX4 2GB memory modules are available now from Corsair online store for $325 a unit.

No more races
My priorities have not been in line recently. Over the last couple of years I have lived in four different places and worked several different jobs. Running has been a nice constant, but it has detracted from other things. Since I am gone almost every weekend, I have not had a chance to meet more people in my area. Although I make new friends through running, I know these are people I will not see on a weekly basis. I want to start developing more local relationships with the people in my community. I have been wanting to get more involved in my church, but that is tough when you don't come back home until mid day Sunday when service is already over.
Running is a great thing, and I do love it. However, running is not everything. I get tremendous fulfillment out of running races, and it does give me a sense of accomplishment. But, like many things those feelings are only temporary. I think this is the very reason people can become "addicted" to running. It gives you a high, and every week it calls to you. You find yourself wanting to find bigger, crazier, longer races to get your fix. Once again, I enjoy the atmosphere, the people, and the physical challenge, but for now I have other things I want to focus my energy on.
My future: I'm probably gonna adapt to the idea of running a few focus races. I will continue to run "fat ass" runs for fun. I will know when the time to return is right. However, for the remainder on the spring and summer, I am taking a much needed leave of absence.

Hi Mike,
You are smart to evaluate your priorities and to live your life in a way that makes you happy and reduces stress.
I will look forward to seeing you sporadically at races and events.
And of course if you ever see a race I am doing and want to crash in a hotel room with Tristan and I, 90% of the time we have a room with a spare bed which we are always happy to share.
Happy Running,

Enjoy your break, Mike. I completely understand...I only run 4 or 5 races a year to keep myself from burning out and committing too much time/life to running. If you feel like coming back for the Cheat Mountain 50 in August, drop me a line. You can hitch a ride out there w/ me...I'm planning on just camping out by the Start/Finish to keep the costs down too!

You have a great attitude, enjoy some time off from the racing scene and let your body recover. You will know when it's time to come back and it might be sooner than you think. Remember that our plans pale in comparison to the Lord's plans and purposes. Stay vigilant in prayer and He will let you know when you are ready. I hope to see you soon.
Semper Fi,
Mike Huff

Dude, you are Number 1!!!!!!!!!!! on the MMT wait list. This is the culmonation of all the prior runs. Come on out to a final party....THEN take a well needed break.
- May 8, 2009 at 1:04 PM
- Mike Bailey said...
The timing of the MMT wait list and my decision to take time off couldn't have been more ironic.
At the beginning of May, I was number 18 on the wait list. I had just assumed I wasn't getting in this year. Yet, after a record number of drops, here I am as the last remaining name on the wait list. Haha!
Oh, I love life's timing. Truthfully I do need the rest, and I almos thope to not get in this year, and have priority in following years. However, if I get in, there's always a chance that I could have a break out performace. MMT is quite the stage. We'll see!

Louise Lahaie has been volunteering for the Les Requins swimming club in Drummondville for over 20 years and has been officiating in this sport for many years. Because of her vast experience, she was asked to oversee the officials of the regional swimming association and won the title of official of the year in 2004 from the Fédération de natation du Québec.
She was also president of the Les Requins swimming club in Drummondville and a member of the board of directors of the Drummondville Olympique for nearly 15 years. This latest honour is yet one more achievement to add to her long list. Louise Lahaie will be officially inducted at a gala next April.
We offer our heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Lahaie.
Radioactive Waste

Rick Norlock Northumberland—Quinte West, ON
Mr. Speaker, over the past few weeks, anti-nuclear activist Helen Caldicott has been touring eastern Ontario and speaking out about the danger that low-level radioactive waste poses to the community of Port Hope.
In these difficult economic times, unsubstantiated and sensationalist comments are wholly irresponsible. The hard-working people of Port Hope deserve more respect than Caldicott has given them in the past month.
The reality is that Port Hope remains a safe and healthy community in which to live, raise a family and work. The reckless comments of one individual will never change this reality, nor will it deter the hard-working people of Port Hope.
I am committed to standing up for the citizens of Port Hope and to speaking out against the irresponsible negative media coverage this story has received, both locally and nationally.

Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to Ottawa—Vanier resident Guy Thériault, who was named employee of the year by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada. This award is given to an employee whose professionalism, commitment, attitude and service quality are held up as examples of excellence.
Guy Thériault has worked at Parks Canada for more than 20 years, where he has held positions ranging from lockmaster to travel trade specialist. Guy has customer service and attention to detail in his veins. More than 700,000 Canadians work directly in the tourism industry, and he was the one chosen as employee of the year.
I wish to acknowledge Guy's work in promoting our national parks and congratulate him on his success.
Violence against Women
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, our government condemns all forms of violence against women, including so-called honour crimes.
In certain communities, some may use violence against women and girls as a method of avenging their honour. Honour crimes are an emerging challenge in Canada. Such crimes are atrocious abuses of power and human rights punishable under our laws.
In November 2009, our government introduced a new citizenship guide that makes clear that women and men are equal under Canadian law. It conveys that Canada does not tolerate violence against women, including honour crimes.
Our country benefits from the contributions of our diverse cultural communities. For well over a century, Canada has been a place where newcomers can embrace the rights and opportunities that are every citizen's due.
Our government will continue to explore and advance measures that protect vulnerable women and girls. Working together in the light of knowledge and understanding we will end all forms of violence against women, including those that are culturally driven.

Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, asbestos is the greatest industrial killer the world has ever known. In fact, more Canadians now die from asbestos disease than all other occupational industrial diseases combined, yet Canada remains one of the largest exporters and producers of asbestos in the world.
Asbestos is not only not banned in Canada, we actively promote it and subsidize its manufacture and export. I call it corporate welfare for corporate serial killers.
Without exaggeration, we are exporting human misery on a monumental scale. We are exporting a made in Canada epidemic and sending it into third world and underdeveloped nations.
Today we are joined by two representatives, Omana George of India and Kazumi Yoshizaki of Japan, who are both here to urge Canada to stop this irrational affinity for asbestos, stop promoting and subsidizing asbestos, and stop the export of asbestos.
Aerospace Industry
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is committed to protecting the 80,000 high-quality and well-paying jobs in the Canadian aerospace industry.
That is why we joined the Canadian aerospace companies as they sought to expand Canada's role in the global F-35 program. Canadian industry has shown that it can provide best value and excellent quality which has already resulted in more than $350 million in contracts for production work with much more to come.
Communities across Canada will see job-creating economic benefits thanks to the F-35 program. Every dollar invested in this program has the potential to gain $1.33 in return. These benefits will translate into direct investment in the Canadian economy and create Canadian jobs.
If it were up to the Liberal-NDP-Bloc Québécois coalition, it would cancel the joint strike fighter program which would cost thousands of jobs in our aerospace sector.
The Environment
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, this Conservative government lacks leadership on the environment. We already knew this. It was confirmed by the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development in his report tabled this week.
This disturbing report concludes that the government does not have a climate change adaptation strategy, in spite of a commitment to that end made 18 years ago; that the government does not adequately monitor freshwater resources on federal lands and as a result cannot even guarantee the quality of the water; that if an oil spill were to occur on federal lands, the government would not be able to respond; and that it actually is unaware of its response capacity and does not even know how many spills occur every year.
This appalling assessment of the situation comes as the Cancun conference is under way, where the Conservatives are a laughingstock for attempting to torpedo the Kyoto protocol.
It is not surprising that with this attitude, the Conservatives are amassing Fossil of the Day awards.
Doris McCarthy
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
John McKay Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the renowned artist, Doris McCarthy, a native of my home, Scarborough, Ontario. Sadly, she passed away on November 25 at the age of 100.
Great art can define a nation and define its image of itself. A painter of the Canadian landscape, McCarthy possessed more than mere brilliance at her craft, but also a deep insight into the profound connection that attaches Canadians to our solemn land.
She continued the artistic traditions of Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, building on their legacy and imprinting her vision of our natural world on the Canadian psyche.
As Pierre Trudeau once wrote, "I know a man whose school could never teach him patriotism, but who acquired that virtue when he felt in his bones the vastness of his land".
This is the spirit that moved Doris McCarthy, and it is a spirit which moves us still. She will be missed.
Sponsorship Program
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
LaVar Payne Medicine Hat, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the House of one of the worst disgraces in the history of the Liberal Party, the sponsorship scandal.
From 1996 to 2004 the Liberals instituted a program of corruption, the likes of which Canada has never seen. Illicit behaviour by Liberal officials misused public funds intended for government advertising in Quebec. The scandal made the Gomery commission, adscam, Groupaction, Alfonso Gagliano and a briefcase full of Jean Chrétien's golf balls front page news.
Eventually after 13 lost years, Canadians booted the Liberals and their scandal-plagued government from office. They are gone and so are millions in Canadian taxpayer dollars.
The Liberal leader was not back in Canada yet from his 34 years abroad, but let me tell him that the sponsorship scandal was a disgrace for Quebec, Canada and the Liberals.
Canadians still want to know. Where is the forty million bucks?

The Speaker Peter Milliken
I have the honour to inform the House that the Clerk of the House has received from the Chief Electoral Officer a certificate of the election and return of Mr. Kevin Lamoureux, member for the electoral district of Winnipeg North
Kevin Lamoureux, member for the electoral district of Winnipeg North, introduced by the Hon. Michael Ignatieff, Leader of the Opposition, and the Hon. Anita Neville.
Canada-U.S. border
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives gave in to the Americans on the softwood lumber dispute. They asked permission from Washington before taking action on the environment. They purchased American fighter planes without a bidding process here in Canada.
With this track record, how can Canadians trust that the Conservative government will protect Canada's sovereignty and the freedom of its citizens during its secret perimeter negotiations with the Americans?
Canada-U.S. border
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Mark Warawa Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, whether it is on jets or the environment, the Liberals just do not get it.
Canada is down at COP16. Our government seeks an outcome that reflects commitments from all major emitters and reflects the balance of the Copenhagen accord. The Copenhagen accord has the support of 139 signatory countries representing 85% of global greenhouse emissions.
What do the Liberals not get about that?
Canada-U.S. border
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I am wondering whether the opposite side could inform the hon. member that the question was about the secret perimeter negotiations with the Americans, not Cancun. Will the member wake up and treat this House with respect?
The government has already surrendered energy policy and climate policy to the Americans. The question is: What is next?
How can the government be trusted with the sovereignty and civil rights of Canadians in secret negotiations with the Americans? That is the question.
Canada-U.S. border
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, I thought it was a secret, so that was the appropriate response.
The member opposite wants me to comment on media speculation and hearsay. I can only speak to the facts, and that is that all Canadians win from increased co-operation, national safety and protection with the Leader of the Opposition's homeland.

HOWTO Process a new member
From i3Detroit
For the new member:
Before orientation:
- Come to the space as a guest, several times if possible. Open Shop Friday is a good time, or post on -public (below) and arrange a visit.
- Sign yourself up for i3detroit-public.
- Make a note of the email address used in the above step. (Many of us have several addresses, but this is the one you'll be using to communicate with i3 as a whole.)
- If that doesn't appear to be working, try Google's "recover password" option.
- Add our calendar to your personal calendar.
- Review the new member welcome/signup form, found on the Forms page. (Don't bother printing it, just read it over.)
- Read through the Standing Rules, and at least skim the Bylaws. Every member must follow these.
New member orientations are done on the first and third Tuesday of the month, after the regular member meeting, roughly 8:00pm.
On the day of orientation:
- Please arrive early! 6:30 or 7 if you can, so you can participate in the meeting.
- Bring a laptop if you have one. (If not, a public terminal may be available to use.)
- Introduce yourself to lots of people! As a new member, meeting the existing members is important.
For the existing member orienting the newbie(s):
- Hand a copy of the welcome/quiz sheet (first 2 pages of the welcome packet) to each newbie.
- Pull HOWTO Close up the space off the wall and walk through it together.
- Try to get their hands to do all the actions, flip all the switches, throw all the levers.
- (It might seem silly but our track record proves that experiential learning WORKS.)
- Point out zone-warden posters at various places while walking around.
- At the last step of the walkthrough, go over waivers and how to sign guests into the space.
- Hand a copy of the signup page to each newbie and let 'em find a pen.
- Once the signup page is filled out, find a mentor and sit 'em down with the noob.
- Together, they should review the WELCOME page and the QUIZ, which are the first two pages of the signup form.
- (If they have questions on the quiz, DON'T ANSWER DIRECTLY, rather, lead 'em to find the information on their own. Teach a man to fish, y'know?)
- See if the email on the signup page is already signed up for -public.
- (If not, get 'em to do this, on their own laptop if possible. Lean on the mentor for help.)
- Add 'em to the other two groups: i3detroit and -announce
- Make sure they accept the invitations and can see the groups when logged in.
- Get 'em started composing their "hi I'm so-and-so and I do this-and-that" post to the members' group.
- Create their account in the CRM, using the same email from above.
- Record the mentor info in the CRM
- Create their wiki account, using the desired username from the form.
- Find out how they'll be paying dues, and do the needful there. (Someone with clue please FIXME!)
- Make sure the mentor and member have emailed each other with their first followup appointment.
- Find Nate B and get their key programmed. (For the time being there's just one person doing this, until the data is cleaned up.)
- Put their completed member form in the folder for them in the filing cabinet under the tv or place it in the "Treasurer" drawer of the filing cabinet.
- Make sure they take the welcome/quiz sheet with them, it's meant as a reference.
On selecting a mentor: Mentors should be well-connected members, adept with:
- Google Groups
- digest mode
- web interface
- archives
- all the stuff on Mailing List.
- Google Calendar
- Various webmail services (gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail)
- Wiki editing
At the first mentor followup appointment:
- Whenever possible, guide the new member to solving their own problems.
- Make sure the new member is getting group emails, or keeping up using the web interface.
- Find out if the member has a project in progress, and help them find resources or collaborators.
- Talk about a project you (the mentor) are working on.
- Find out if any questions on the quiz stumped them, point towards solutions.
- Find out if they've brought any friends by the space, offer to roleplay the guest-and-waiver-and-sign-in process.
- Ask if they have any questions about why the standing rules are written the way they are
- Run through the last-one-out checklist together, letting the new member do the steps, you just following.
During the second appointment:
- Re-review the above, plus...
- Discuss a potential improvement and encourage the new member to begin implementing it.

Cellulosic Ethanol Promises $1 per Gallon Fuel From Waste

Sender E-mail
Coskata Inc. grows many microbes in how, in its efforts to find natural bacteria that optimally produce ethanol. These little guys are the key to Coskata's new method. Its current generation features high efficiency, live in-gas in an aerobic environment, and reproduce naturally.

GM and Coskata partner to bring transform the way ethanol is mass produced
At the General Motors section of the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) at Detroit, the biggest news wasn't cars -- it was fuel. GM unveiled and detailed its efforts to take Ethanol from a impractical technology into a viable alternative energy strategy. Not too long ago it looked like the end of ethanol fuel, with advent of a
hungry microbial hydrogen production research effort
, which promised better efficiency than current ethanol production.
biggest current downside of current ethanol infrastructure
is simply its source; current ethanol can
only be produced using the chemical breakdown of sugar-laden crops
, such as corn and sugar cane. This makes ethanol more expensive and extremely agriculture dependent. Most U.S. experts agree that the amount of land needed to grow enough sugar crops to power the nation's vehicles would be prohibitive. Microbial hydrogen currently has ethanol trumped on this count, as it can use anything from crop waste to household table scraps as a source of hydrogen.
Ethanol is down, but certainly not out. An advanced new approach, dubbed "cellulosic ethanol production," developed by
Coskata Inc.
located in Warrenville, Illinois promises to make ethanol cheaply and efficiently from virtually anything organic-based. The long list of possible sources include used tires, crop waste, sewage, household kitchen waste, yard waste etc.
GM, inspired by Coskata's innovation, announced a major partnership with firm last night. GM reportedly looked into as many as sixteen ethanol startups offering different processes, and picked Coskata as the winner. GM invested a small amount of equity to cement the relationship, and both firms are aggressively moving ahead to bring the technology to the market.
The alternative energy auto market is not unfamiliar ground for GM. The company showcased leading designs with its
Provoq fuel cell concept
, its
Volt electric car
, and its
fleet of 100 fuel cell-equipped Equinox SUVs
that are currently being deployed in California and New York.
In an interview with GM's Vice Chairman of Product Development, Bob Lutz,
was provided exclusive insight into exactly how this process works. Lutz, in response to
's question, began by stating, "All the other companies use enzymes, which are incredibly expensive. This has been a major stumbling block."
Lutz went on to detail how instead of enzymes -- which are tricky to mass produce and prohibitively expensive -- GM turned to nature. GM's approach starts rather traditionally by putting the various organic waste materials, such as tires, crops, crop waste and yard waste into a grinder. The remaining powder is then exposed to plasma, which causes the organic powder to ferment, releasing carbon-chain gas. It rises into the air where natural anaerobic bacteria eats the gas molecules and excretes ethanol and water vapor. This mixture then rises, and travels through a series of tubes with a separating membrane. The yield is pure water and pure ethanol.
"The bacteria are from nature so no patent was needed. And they reproduce on their own," Lutz explained, excitedly. The process, Lutz elaborated, is a down-to earth approach that does not use designer organisms or chemicals. Further it eliminates many steps in traditional or enzymatic processing, including the need for a centrifuge or still.
The process trumps traditional production in efficiency. Less than a third as much water is needed to produce a gallon of ethanol, which makes the process more affordable and easier to implement. Further an analysis of the process conducted at Argone National Laboratory reveals that for every unit of energy Coskata uses, it creates approximately 7.7 times as much energy, a ratio well above current tradition ethanol production.
Lutz emphasizes the importance of reducing reliance on foreign energy via ethanol fuel. He also explained that the move will take GM and other auto makers "out of the firing line" of accusations that they contribute to everything from "out-of-control global warming, to funding terrorism."
GM plans to aggressively fund Coskata and deploy the technology. While many alternative energy research technologies languish in the development phase, GM announced that a pilot plant will begin producing fuel before the close of 2008. By 2011 a full scale plant will come online, capable of producing 50 to 100 million gallons of ethanol a year. Such a plant would almost amount to 1% of the world's total ethanol production, including ethanol used for industrial sources.
The price per gallon to produce the fuel is approximately $1 per gallon, but Lutz stated that with Coskata profits, shipping, taxes, storage, and a retailer's cut, the fuel would likely raise the price to a still very affordable $2 per gallon.
Lutz said that while such a fuel would be very attractive to the consumer, the big hold up is the oil companies. He points out that while GM has sold 6 million flex-fuel vehicles in the U.S. capable of using ethanol, less than 1% of pumps in the U.S. are ethanol-equipped.
Will GM's new advanced ethanol process win out over hydrogen fuel cells and other efforts? With promises of mass production by the end of the year, and $2 per gallon fuel costs that don't dip into American agriculture, Coskata and GM might end up in the spotlight a lot in 2008.

Caps at the deadline: What won't, what should and what shouldn't happen
Whether George McPhee's job hangs in the balance over what the Caps do the rest of the season is pure speculation. However, I know this: If I am George McPhee, I'd be approaching this trade deadline as if my job does hang in the balance. The regression of this team over the past two years has been drastic and, if they miss the playoffs this season, the changes in the organization before training camp next year could be as well.
The Caps won't be trading for Rick Nash
Stop. No way. 0% chance. I'm not even sure why the possibility of this happening has even been mentioned. I thought the Prince Fielder to the Orioles rumors would take the cake for the most unrealistic local sports talk for the next few years. Turns out those rumors have been topped. First of all, the asking price is sure to be something far beyond what would make sense for the Caps. I'd guess it'd start with a 1st round pick, Carlson/Orlov/Alzner (pick one) and a young center who wears #90 (more on him in a bit). That right there is way too much and I'm not convinced that would get it done. More importantly, acquiring Rick Nash would do nothing to even remotely address what this team needs. The last thing the Caps need is another winger, even if that winger is an elite player.
The Caps should trade for Jeff Carter
This Carter-to-Caps talk has come up a lot recently, but for good reason. It makes sense. I've been a huge proponent of McPhee's general trade deadline philosophy of bringing in the right part at the right time for the right price. He hasn't given up valuable long-term assets, hasn't locked the club into any long/bad contracts all while making moves that seemed to adequately address what the team needs. However, the 2nd line center issue has become the Achilles heel for a team that just can't seem to get over the hump when it matters. Eric Belanger, Jason Arnott and Sergei Fedorov all made sense and were in line with the philosophy spelled out above. The problem is none of these guys put the team over the hump and now this team stands in danger of missing the playoffs and that could very well cost McPhee his job. So, while a guy like Saku Koivu or Derek Roy involves a lot less risk for the Caps, it is in line with an approach we have seen fail repeatedly. The time has come for McPhee to stop making the safe and smart play at the deadline and make a bold all-in type move.
The Caps should not consider trading away any of their top 4 young d-men
True, John Carlson has had a rough year. And yes, the day will eventually come when the Caps can't afford Carlson, Karl Alzner, Dmitri Orlov and Mike Green. But that day is not today and the Caps have time until their hand is forced on this issue. They do run the risk of holding onto an asset only to see it depreciate in value but I'm willing to take that risk when it comes to these 4 guys. These 4, and a couple other players, would be the untouchables if I'm George McPhee.
The Capitals should consider trading Marcus Johansson
Keep reading. Even if you disagree, in the end you may at least understand that I'm not insane to suggest this. First and foremost, I'm not advocating trading Johnansson. However, I'm also not willing to take the idea off the table under all circumstances. One of those circumstances is a deal that brings the Caps a player who could fill the 2C spot for at least the next five years (see: Carter, Jeff). I wouldn't trade Johansson for Koivu, Roy or any other possible short-term fix at 2C. I'd only advocate trading our likely future 2C if in return we get a 2C who is the closest thing to an instant sure-fix as you can get. Yes, we'd miss him. Yes, he could become the 2C that we've longed for for entirely too long. But the simple fact right now is that Johansson is not a solution at 2C and Jeff Carter is. To be clear, I'm not even suggesting we dangle Johansson as bait for Carter. What I am saying is that if his inclusion in a package for Carter was a make or break thing for the Blue Jackets, I'd make the deal.
It will be very interesting to see what McPhee does over the next couple of weeks. The one thing that appears to be certain is that it'll be anything but boring.

Welcome to Hershey, the sweetest place on earth!
We are excited to introduce you to our exceptional residency program. There are several advantages to training as an anesthesiology resident at the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. Our tertiary care center in the heart of central Pennsylvania serves a large catchment area with a diverse patient population. Life Lion, our aeromedical critical care transport and our status as a level 1 trauma center attract challenging and unique cases. Additionally, our Penn State Children's Hospital allows for a large number of complex pediatric cases.
Milton S. Hershey Medical Center offers a unique, integrated, four-year residency program that results in early exposure to and mastery of a wide variety of anesthetic cases. Residents are provided with a balanced education starting from the first day of internship that ensures the development of well-rounded consultant anesthesiologists. Whether you are interested in pediatric, neuro, OB, cardiothoracic, chronic and acute pain, or critical care anesthesia, you will be given the opportunity to become proficient within each subspecialty. Weekly didactic lectures for each class, including weekly board review for CA-1s and CA-3s, are protected and highly valued time. Oral board practice exams with faculty are scheduled throughout the year for all residents within the program. Our graduates leave with a variety of opportunities that include fellowships, private practice, and clinical professorships in academic medicine. Our diverse faculty members are well recognized for their contributions to research and clinical anesthesia. They are the foundation of our program and provide our residents with the opportunity to learn many unique techniques for practicing anesthesia.
The residency at Hershey Medical Center uniquely combines "big city" training with a high quality of life in a safe rural setting. Imagine a post-call day enjoying the rides at Hersheypark, a Broadway show at the Hershey Theater, concerts and hockey games at the Giant Stadium, nightlife in Harrisburg, or running, fishing, camping, and skiing. Hershey is also located within a short drive or train ride of Washington D.C., New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore making weekend excursions remarkably easy. No matter what your academic and personal interests include, living in Hershey and completing a residency at Penn State will provide an enjoyable and thorough training experience.
We thank you for your interest in our program and look forward to meeting you soon!

A Bike Wheel That Tells On You, The Copenhagen Wheel
Contributing Monkie V Ol Blak
Published on May 10, 2012
Filed Under Biking Monkie Style Tags Electric Bike
I just saw this interesting idea over at Metropolis Magazine. It's called the Copenhagen Wheel and it's a prototype electric powered wheel for your bike which not only pushes you along it also gathers data about your ride and the environments you ride through. The wheel sends the date to a special iphone app and then onto the web. Creating a layered map of date from all the Copenhagen wheels in your city. Pretty interesting. I think I would buy one. I didn't find any information about the size of the electric motor or how you charge it or how fast it goes. I also didn't see any wires, so maybe it's just an electric assist and not a full electric bike.
The Copenhagen Wheel turns the bike you already own, quickly and easily into an electric bike with regeneration and real-time environmental sensing capabilities. The wheel harvests the energy you input while braking and cycling and stores it for when you need a bit of a boost. At the same time, sensors in the wheel are collecting information about air and noise pollution, congestion and road conditions.
The Copenhagen Wheel differs from other electric bikes in that all components areelegantly packaged into one hub. There is no external wiring or bulky battery packs, making it retrofittable into any bike. Inside the hub, we have arranged a motor, 3-speed internal hub gear, batteries, a torque sensor, GPRS and a sensor kit that monitors CO, NOx, noise (db), relative humidity and temperature. In the future, you will be able to spec out your wheel according to your riding habits and needs.
Live in San Francisco? Add more battery power.
Interested in real-time applications? Increase the number of sensors.
Lastly, the wheel is controlled through your Smart Phone and becomes a natural extension of your everyday life. Simply place your phone on the handlebars, and its Bluetooth module syncs with the Bluetooth module in the hub of the Copenhagen Wheel.You can then use your phone and our Copenhagen Wheel Application to unlock and lock your bike, change gears, select how much the motor assists you and for viewing relevant real-time information.

For the greatest comfort, we recommend wearing your new Vionic with Orthaheel Technology footwear or orthotics for just a few hours for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the new level of orthotic comfort and support.
Within one to two weeks you should find the product completely comfortable and supportive.
I love orthaheel footbeds, I'm So glad! My feet don't know that this has a stylish heel, nor that they are somewhat dressy! Yeah!
I love these shoes! I have suffered with plantar fasciitis and my job (teaching) requires me to be on my feet much of the day.
Great looking shoes my feet are very thankful.
While these shoes are very pretty and the bottom felt good the top part must not be well designed because is sloshed around on my foot. I really tried but there was no way I could use these shoes and not break my neck.
Incredibly comfortable considering its such a tall shoe - I barely feel like I'm at an angle/that its a heel (coming from someone who wears heels maybe twice a year). The only downside was my feet are very narrow and the strap across my foot is a little loose, but the ankle strap actually had enough holes to fit my very narrow ankles.
Normally I love the Orthaheel/Vionic brand. These shoes were very pretty but even at the smallest buckle hole--my foot and ankle slid around like crazy. Because these only come in full sizes I did not want to risk ordering the next full size down to see if that would correct the problem. I think a 6.5 might have been just right.
This shoe saved my daughter on the night of her senior formal. She was able to gain height in this shoe without sacrificing style and dance and feel comfortable. I highly recommend for plantar fasciitis.
Super comfortable and stylish. Best investment. I also love that there is a metatarsal support.

Survivors' lives and writings recounted the horror endured by those caught in the Armenian Genocide.
By WAVENEY ANN MOORE
Published April 24, 2007
The women chatted around the dining table, each a witness to her family's suffering, a genocide mostly unknown around the world and vigorously denied by the nation blamed for it.
Mary Enkababian, 86, illustrated her late husband's story with sepia-toned photographs and an autobiography he had written. The late Antranik A. Enkababian was one of only three people in a large family group photograph to have survived the World War I massacre that is referred to as the first genocide of the 20th century.
On Sunday -- in anticipation of today's international observance of Martyr's Day - Armenians from around the Tampa Bay area gathered in Pinellas Park to remember those who perished. The memorial service at St. Hagop Armenian Church honored the 1-million to 1.5-million men, women and children who died between 1915 and 1923. At the time, Armenians, a Christian minority in a Muslim community, lived in what is now eastern Turkey and in the southeastern part of the country, now occupied principally by Kurds.
In 1915, say historians, the Central Committee of the Young Turk Party of the Ottoman Empire deported thousands of Armenians, sending them to starvation and death in the Syrian desert. Many were attacked and killed and young women were raped and forced into harems or to marry their abductors.
Sima Palakian and Martha Samuelian said their mother was one of the many young women forced into marriage. The two Pinellas County women didn't find out the details of their mother's experience until after her death. She had been forced to marry a Kurdish man and had two children with him. When she escaped, she was forced to leave the two children behind.
"She was very sad all the time," recalled Samuelian, 79, a Palm Harbor resident who only learned what had happened when she visited an elderly uncle in France.
Her sister too was stunned. "It was unbelievable. It was like how did Mom ever leave her children and come to America? She must have been a very brave lady to do this. She wanted her freedom," said Palakian, 78.
In his autobiography, Enkababian's husband told of his family's deportation from their home in north central Turkey in June 1915. His father was killed, and during the difficult journey, his mother decided to drown herself and her children in the Euphrates River. Enkababian's husband, only 6 at the time, told his mother he didn't want to die. "Before dawn, " he wrote, "my mother took my brother and my sister to the river. As I watched, the heartless waves of water swept away my 2 1/2-year-old sister, Araksy." He said his 4-year-old brother and mother were saved by a Kurd who wanted money to rescue them. When the family could produce none, his uncle was badly beaten.
Sitting with her friends Thursday in her On Top of the World apartment in Clearwater, Mary Haydostian said only her mother and her mother's younger brother survived the genocide. At the time, said Haydostian, 75, her mother's father was working for Ford in Michigan to save money to bring his family to America. "Unfortunately, his wife and six of his children, his brothers and his cousins died," she said.
During the deportation, Haydostian said her mother had to make the most difficult decision of her life. With no food and water and struggling to go on, she was advised to leave her baby girl in front of an Armenian church in a strange village. The hope was that someone would take pity on the little girl and care for her. Other heartbroken mothers did the same. Unlike many survivors, Haydostian's mother would later talk about the horrors she experienced.
"She talked about it all the time. She said many of her friends could not talk about it. She got solace talking about it," Haydostian said.
Like some other Armenian women, her mother would later marry an Armenian already living in America. Haydostian said her mother remarried in Cuba and arrived in America through Key West.
Stories such as these notwithstanding, the Armenian Genocide is a controversial topic. The Turkish government's position is that it never happened and its laws forbid discussion of the topic, said Rouben Adalian, director of the Armenian National Institute in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. government recognizes that the atrocities occurred, but current and previous administrations have stopped short of using the term genocide, because of Turkey's strategic importance, Adalian said. In a report commissioned by the Turkish Armenian Reconciliation Commission, the International Center for Transitional Justice also labels the World War I occurrences genocide.
Starting in June, the Florida Holocaust Museum will host an exhibition about the Armenian Genocide. "We really feel that it is important to talk about other acts of hatred and other genocides, basically for public awareness and obviously, as we say, over and over again, to prevent it from happening again," said Erin Blankenship, curator of exhibitions and collections at the museum.
Few survivors of the genocide remain to tell their story. Palakian hopes future generations will continue to observe what is referred to as Martyrs' Day on Tuesday. "In my family, I know it will go on with my granddaughter and grandson. I'm hoping and praying that other grandchildren remember."
Bread Paintings by Apo Torosyan, a mixed media exhibit, runs June 2 through Sept. 16 at the Florida Holocaust Museum, 55 Fifth St. S, St. Petersburg. Call (727) 820-0100 or visit www.flholocaustmuseum.org.

Myrmecia forficata
The inchman (Myrmecia forficata[1]) is a species of bull ant that is native to Australia. The ants are recorded in the south eastern part of the country, but are most often found in Tasmania.
The inchman is the most venomous of the bulldog ants, ranging from about 15 to 25 mm (0.6 to 1.0 in) long, but less aggressive than the Jack jumper ant. These ants are purplish-brown, with a black abdomen. Their large size gave them their name, although most are slightly smaller than the traditional inch (25.4 mm). Their nests may be inconspicuously hidden under a rock or in a small hole.
As with many species of bulldog ants, the inchman are usually solitary when they forage, though they live in colonies like most ants.
Inchman are carnivores and scavengers. They sting their victims with venom analogous to stings of wasps, bees, and fire ants. Their venom is some of the most powerful in the insect world. The reputation for being the most venomous ant is possibly due to the tendency of the toxin to induce anaphylaxis. It is this which kills the victim.
The symptoms of the stings of the ants are similar to stings of the fire ants. The reaction is local; swelling, reddening and fever, followed by formation of a blister. The heart rate increases, and blood pressure falls rapidly. In about 3% of cases, the sting causes anaphylaxis. Treatment is very similar to wasp and bee stings.

How black should a pizza crust be?
September 02, 2005, 12:52:23 PM »
Yesterday, we visited the now famous Una Pizza Napoletana in NY. We went last year before he received all the attention and we walked right in. Now there is a line.
The first time we went, we loved the pizza. This time around, I am not so sure. The pizzas all came out too charred on the bottom. The top side of the pizza looked fine, with minimal charring, but the bottom was probably 50% black. I tend to like a burned crust but others at our table found it very objectionable. I will admit that the bitter burned flavor overwhelmed the otherwise delicate and delicious flavors of the pizza.
Any guesses as to why the bottom burned while the top looked fine. Maybe the oven floor was too hot? Or, could it be the amount of moisture in the dough? Pizza maker having a bad day?
How much charring is appropriate?

IMHO, crust should not be burnt on the bottom nor should it taste bitter. I get black spots with an 800F+ deck, but nothing like you describe. Although some charring is common on the pizzas I enjoyed in Naples, none were burned like the one describe.
As I've mentioned before, there is a fine line between "done to perfection" and overcooking. Only speculating here, but perhaps the oven was very hot on the deck, but there was too little heat being radiated onto the top of the pie. So the pizza was left in the oven long enough for the top to "look" done, but by then, the bottom was burned. Been there, done that. I keep saying the same thing about wood burning ovens: fire management is critical.

Una Pizza doesn't have the proper oven to cook Neapolitan pizza as it has a too high ceiling. If Anthony has to make one or two pizza, then he has the time to lift the pizza up in the higher dome, but when it is busy, and simply pump up the flame, then the pizza doesn't receive the necessary heat from the top as in a Neapolitan oven with its low dome, and burn underneath...

I just read a post the other day about Una Pizza having raw uncooked dough, now this one about black char. I was lucky when I went there to have received perfect pies.
This is the price you pay for cooking at such high temps, 20 seconds in either direction can totally ruin a pizza. My first visit to Patsy's was a huge dissipointment because my pie was black on the bottom, then my next visit it was perfect. I guess we have to learn to expect this when eating coal/wood fired pies.

No, this is not the case. But that is the reason you guys needs to understand why I always talk about experience...
Here on this forum it is easy to get excited and start talking about great dough... But what about cooking it? Having a great oven is an help, but if you need to cook 7 pizza at the same time, you need to manage the oven as well.
In Naples the "Fornaio" is a profession by itself. Fornaio is the guy that manage the oven, feed it with wood and cook the pizza. Il Pizzaiuolo work behind the bench, flattening the dough balls, putting the topping. When you start working in a pizzeria in Naples, after have learned how to prepare the topping, the first step is to learn how to manage the oven (how to start it, how to build up the temperature, what pieces of wood go first, etc..). Once you master that, you start cooking the pizza. few make the leap behind the bench, and very few make it to be the dough maker (1 or 2 in each pizzeria). At Da Michele, one Saturday night service, 650 pizzas went into the oven, none was burnt and none undercooked, only one was ripped.... Check again the other post where they also show the bottom of Da Michele pizza.

I totally agree with pizzanapoletana and Bill; oven management is critical.
When we are busy we have one guy on oven only and one on stretching and topping.
In my experience it is most likely the bottom will burn when the oven has been "resting" a while with no pizzas drawing heat from the floor for an extended period. It is very important to remember to check the bottom of the pizza if there has been none cooked in the oven for several minutes. Each pizza placed on the floor draws heat from it and when you are busy this regulates the floor temperature. But if you are not careful to remember that the oven foor has built up heat again you will get burned bottoms. This could also happen if the cook has favourite spots in the oven that get used over and over and then tries to slip in an extra one on a spot that has not been used for a while and forgets to check the bottom soon enough.
When the floor is hot during a quiet period and we only have single orders we place the pizza on just one spot in the oven and leave it on the floor for a shorter time then lift it with the paddle to finish the top in the hotter upper part of the dome, it is quite an art to manage this and turn the pizza close to the flame for even browning of the crust edge.
I was also sometimes fooled when I returned from the afternoon break and thought the oven's fire has cooled but forget that the floor retains a lot more heat. The pizzas look great on top after a slightly longer cooking time but are blacker on the bottom
After having to remake a few orders I learned to remember to check
Given the above I'd say that a less experienced person cooked your pizza that day or they were just distracted at the critical point. The dough is probably not the culprit and probably very consistent at these establishments but there is a lot more to take care of after the dough is mixed
