First measurements of the differential positronium-formation cross-sections
Positrons are the antimatter version of electrons and so their fate in a matter world is ultimately to annihilate. However, prior to this, a positron may combine with an electron to form a matter-antimatter hybrid called positronium. This is akin to a hydrogen atom with the proton replaced by a positron. Fundamental to our understanding of the physical universe, positron and positronium are these days also acknowledged as being fantastically useful in practical applications such as probing material properties and medical diagnostics. However, there is still much that we do not know for sure about the details of the interactions of these particles with ordinary matter. For example if, in a collision with an atom or molecule, a positron captures an electron, in which directions is the positronium likely to travel and with what probability? More...

On quantum scales, there are many second laws of thermodynamics
New research from UCL has uncovered additional second laws of thermodynamics which complement the ordinary second law of thermodynamics, one of the most fundamental laws of nature. These new second laws are generally not noticeable except on very small scales, at which point, they become increasingly important. More...

Ultracold gases are often realised in dilute vapours of between thousands and millions of alkali-metal atoms held in magnetic or optical traps at temperatures ranging from a thousandth to only a billionth of a degree above the absolute zero. Their spatial extents are typically on the order of several microns.
Due to the low temperatures, the properties of ultra-cold gases are influenced by quantum statistics, depending on whether the atoms are identical bosons or fermions. Bose atoms tend to share the same quantum state in the zero-temperature limit, leading to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). Despite the diluteness, the density distributions of Bose-Einstein condensates are sensitive to the inter-atomic interactions. These interactions can be characterised by a single parameter, the s-wave scattering length. Depending on the sign of the scattering length, the colliding atoms in a gas tend to repel (positive sign) or attract (negative sign) each other.
As opposed to Bose gases, the Pauli principle prevents any two atoms to share the same quantum state when the ultra-cold gas consists of identical fermions. The existence of interactions, however, can give rise to pairing of Fermi atoms, a phenomenon known from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity. Such paired atoms have been converted into molecules, without changing their centre-of-mass momentum, by tuning the interactions using time-varying homogeneous magnetic fields. A variety of similar techniques to form ultra-cold diatomic molecules have been demonstrated in both Bose and Fermi gases, even in the absence of initially preformed pairs.
Our aim is to theoretically understand the phenomena of pairing and molecule formation in ultra-cold gases consisting of either Bose or Fermi atoms. This involves microscopic descriptions of diatomic collisions and bound states in the presence of externally applied magnetic fields, and their reduction to effective models that are applicable in a suitable energy range about the threshold between scattering and molecular binding. We use these effective models to study few-body collisions in ultra-cold gases, as well as the genuinely many-body aspects of the dynamics of molecule production.
Ultracold collisions
The possibility of magnetically tuning the inter-atomic interactions relies upon the Zeeman effect in the hyperfine structure of the atoms. Due to the coupling between the nuclear spin and the spin of the single valence electron of an alkali-metal atom, there are two hyperfine levels in the electronic ground state at zero field. By varying an externally applied magnetic field, the splitting between the Zeeman energy levels can be controlled experimentally.
In the narrow range of collision momenta in an ultra-cold gas, the diatomic interactions are sensitive to both the Zeeman states in which the individual atoms are prepared and their coupling to other Zeeman states. New bound states can appear at the zero-energy threshold between scattering and molecular binding, causing the scattering length to diverge. By holding the magnetic field in the vicinity of such a zero-energy resonance, one can thus choose any desired value of the scattering length, generating ultra-cold collision interactions that can vary from strongly attractive to strongly repulsive. By sweeping the magnetic field across a resonance, from negative to positive scattering lengths, a molecular bound state can be created from two initially separated atoms.
The diatomic molecules produced by using this magneto-association technique can decay into energetically lower bound states upon collisions with other molecules or atoms in the gas. These inelastic molecule-molecule and atom-molecule relaxation phenomena set the lifetimes of ultra-cold gases containing diatomic molecules in the highest excited vibrational bound state. Three initially separated atoms can collide and form a diatomic bound state and a third free atom with a relative velocity determined by energy and momentum conservation. This phenomenon, referred to as three-body recombination, limits the lifetimes of ultra-cold gases consisting of Bose or Fermi atoms. Based on the microscopic model of diatomic collision and bound-state properties we determine the rate coefficients for ultra-cold collisions between atoms and weakly bound molecules, as well as for three-body recombination events, and investigate their dependences on an externally applied magnetic field.
Dynamics of molecule formation
Using magnetically tunable interactions, condensed or thermal Bose gases, as well as Fermi gases with or without preformed pairs, can be converted into ultra-cold gases of diatomic molecules with efficiencies depending on their density and temperature. The different molecule-association techniques demonstrated to date involve various sequences of magnetic-field sweeps, resonantly oscillating magnetic fields, and holding the magnetic-field strength at a position of large positive scattering length. These techniques can allow up to about 90% of the atoms to be converted into diatomic molecules.
We perform time dependent many-particle calculations of the molecule production efficiencies obtained from the various techniques of molecule association using magnetically tunable interactions. These theoretical descriptions involve condensed or thermal Bose gases, as well as Fermi gases with or without preformed pairs. Our methods of description rely upon truncations of the infinite hierarchy of dynamical equations for the few-body correlation functions, as obtained from the many-particle Schrodinger equation with ideal-gas or interacting initial states. Depending on the application, we choose different levels of truncation, as well as effective inter-atomic potentials that are designed to systematically recover the microscopic model of diatomic collision and bound-state properties in a suitably wide range of energies about the scattering threshold.

Video, photography, installation and sculpture make up unBlocked, a group show by the f/16 Collective. The Aurora Picture Show's Mary Magsamen, who curated the exhibit, was happy to see the variety among the work submitted for the show. The f/16 Collective is made up of the students of the University of Houston 2012 Photography and Digital Media graduating class, who've been working together for the last two years. Magsamen has seen members of other such groups grow to have too-similar styles, but found the f/16 Collective members maintained distinctly individual work.
Among the most offbeat and humorous contributions is Gisela Parker's exploration of social and mass media through her creation, Maude Middleton. A headless mannequin, Maude has become an Internet sensation. She has a Facebook page with daily posts and more than 1,000 friends. "We have 30 mutual friends," Magsamen says, laughing. Parker will have various videos on display, including one showing the pair breaking up. The exhibit will also include Maude's photo album, with shots of Maude at various Houston locations. (The mannequin has a stylish wardrobe and likes to party.)

st: extracting select saved results using column names
Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:52:57 +0000
I use the proportion command with mi estimate on a daily basis. After
running the proportion, I know that I can extract the coefficients for
that proportion and save them in a matrix with other coefficients from
other proportions I have run. However, I frequently run proportions on a
binary variable and do so over a multi-category variable. I only want to
grab the "Yes" (or 1) side of a binary 1/0 proportion and accompanying
results from the over variable. And since the types of "over" variables I
might specify in a foreach loop could vary in the number of categories
they have, I can't simply specify the same matrix cells each time.
Is there a way to grab only matrix data from e(b) that matches a specified
string value in the default matrix colname? For example, I know that I
only want the matrix columns from e(b) that contain "_prop_2" since they
are the columns that contain the "1" values from the proportion. I hope
that makes sense, and of course, there may be an easier way to do what I
am trying to do as well!

First, I stripped all the packages from Knoppix 3.4 that I didn't need - after all, who needs both KOffice and Openoffice.org, and about five window managers? That left me with a 70Mb image, and then I removed all the locale files and documentation I could find. I also changed the standard XFree86 server to the XVesa and XFbdev servers, which are quicker and much smaller. Then I removed /var/lib/dpkg and placed it in a separate .tar.bz2 archive (which can be downloaded for remasters or hard drive installs), and I did the same for /usr/src/linux as well.
Next, I started adding some more applications which were both Debian and non-Debian, such as Abiword and Xzgv respectively. I also removed some files which were identical to others, and replaced them with either symlinks or shell scripts (i.e. in the case of grep, egrep and fgrep). After that, it was just a case of cleaning up some remnants of the original Knoppix - I changed the boot image to show the Feather Linux bootup screen, and I also prevented /home/knoppix from being overwritten on boot.

Shane Mahuta was driving on Auckland's southern motorway when he saw a truck in front of him swerve into the median barrier.
It was an overcast January afternoon and the highway, one of the busiest stretches of the Auckland motorway, was greasy from rain.
The driver of the swerving truck, about 500m in front of Mahuta, had had a fatal heart attack.
It was obvious something was wrong and Mahuta, in his fully laden Kuehne and Nagel truck, sped up and overtook the truck on the inside lane.
As he drove past, he saw Anne Dromgool holding the steering wheel from the truck's passenger seat, her arm stretched over the driver's slumped, lifeless body.
She somehow managed to indicate and manoeuvre the truck across to the middle lane.
The truck began to slow to about 50km/h as Mahuta accelerated ahead.
He then gingerly positioned his 38-tonne rig in front of the other truck and began to slow down.
After the two trucks - each about 16m long - made contact, Mahuta gradually applied the brakes and brought them to a halt over a 3.3km straight stretch of the highway.
Police awarded both Mahuta and Dromgool with special commendations, saying their actions prevented a disaster that could have cost lives.
Mahuta said in 13 years of truck-driving experience, nothing could have prepared him for using his own vehicle as a makeshift brake.
But it didn't seem to faze him. After his heroics, he finished work, headed home and was back at work the next morning.

Players running down their contracts and being available to a new club for free is nothing new.
But this summer there is a particularly talented bunch up for grabs for absolutely nothing.
The announcement earlier this week that Rio Ferdinand was not being offered a new contract by Manchester United added yet another stellar name to an already glittering line-up.
So here we take a look at the best players available on a Bosman free transfer and analyse where they might be playing their football come August...
The 10 best free agents on the market this summer
The 10 best free agents on the market this summer
1/8 Guillermo Ochoa
The Mexican goalkeeper rose to fame thanks to his brilliant performance against Brazil in the World Cup. The 28-year-old, who left Ajaccio at the end of the season, has been linked with a move to the Premier League.
Getty Images
2/8 Rio Ferdinand
Both halves of Manchester United's famous central defence for the past eight years are leaving this summer. Nemanja Vidic is off to Italy to play for Internazionale while Rio Ferdinand was told at the weekend that United would not be renewing his contract. Ferdinand said last week that if United did not offer him a new deal that he would be "open to offers" but joked that he "would not go below the Conference". That is unlikely to be an issue as there should be no shortage of clubs looking for a defender of his experience. Queen's Park Rangers, should they come up, are managed by Ferdinand's old mentor Harry Redknapp, while even bigger teams like Arsenal could be tempted.
3/8 Diego Lugano
The Uruguay captain hit the headlines in Brazil for the wrong reasons as his complete denial that team-mate Luis Suarez bit Giorgio Chiellini when everyone else could see it. His contract with West Brom is up for renewal, but the 33-year-old is unlikely to remain in the Premier League.
4/8 Nicolas Anelka
Sacked by West Brom last season for his controversial 'Quenelle' gesture, Anelka has not yet confirmed whether he will sign for a new club - should anyone want him - or announce his retirement.
5/8 Frank Lampard
As with Terry and Cole, Lampard's Chelsea deal expires at the end of the season and he is likely to follow Terry in signing a new deal at Stamford Bridge. Lampard is not the dynamic presence in midfield that he once was, and he started only 20 Premier League games this season. But as his inclusion in Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad demonstrated, his experience and presence are invaluable and he is more than worth having around. That said, if he does not renew at Chelsea, there would surely be offers from abroad, not least from long-time suitors LA Galaxy.
6/8 Marouane Chamakh
The Moroccan striker has completed a one-year deal at Crystal Palace that could barely have gone much better. Since he was entrusted with a role as a withdrawn striker by Tony Pulis in December, he has been excellent, scoring five goals and helping to drag Palace out of the relegation zone and into safety. Chamakh will be discussing his future with the club soon but he said last week that agreeing a new deal at Palace was his "priority", after building an excellent rapport with the fans and playing his best football since his arrival in England from France in 2010. If not, he would like to stay in the Premier League.
7/8 Samuel Eto'o
The striker did not cover himself in glory at the 2014 World Cup, as Cameroon's campaign was blighted by a money row over bonuses and poor performances in Brazil that saw them eliminated at the group stages. However, the Champions League winner will still have a number of clubs interested in his services, with Arsenal being linked in recent weeks.
8/8 Nicklas Bendtner
Despite a fairly successful season by his standards, Nicklas Bendtner is on his way out of Arsenal. The Dane has scored twice this year, in wins over Hull and Cardiff, but he fell behind Yaya Sanogo in the pecking order while not always conducting himself immaculately off the pitch. He turned down moves away from Arsenal last summer that would have meant pay cuts but this summer he must be hopeful of maximising his value as a free agent.
Who do you think is the best player for free? Let us know in the comments below.

Mayoral elections give few clues about presidential race
The China Post staff Sunday, December 8, 2002, 12:00 am TWN
The mayoral elections in Taiwan's two biggest cities ended with no surprise upsets yesterday, but anyone looking for clues to the 2004 presidential race may have been left as baffled as ever.
Both Ma Ying-jeou, mayor of Taipei, and his Kaohsiung counterpart, Frank Hsieh, were re-elected, with the former crushing his rival, and the latter winning by a narrow margin.
The outcomes were much in line with pre-election predictions and opinion polls.
President Chen Shui-bian and his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) wanted badly to wrest back the capital city, which the head of state lost to Ma in the 1998 mayoral poll.
But Chen and the DPP, as well as Ma's Kuomintang (KMT) and its opposition ally, the People First Party (PFP), knew that the incumbent was simply too strong for the underdog challenger, Lee Ying-yuan.
"I have no particular thoughts about Ma's victory," remarked KMT Legislator Shyu Jong-shyong, obviously taking the outcome for granted.
The KMT was hardly worried by the Taipei race, because the main battleground actually was Kaohsiung. There were five candidates, but it turned out to be a close two-horse race between Hsieh and his KMT challenger, Huang Chun-ying.
In their pre-election rhetoric, the two major opposition parties had defined the mayoral elections as a no-confidence vote for the DPP.
What they had in mind was a win in Kaohsiung could have shown that voters were now shunning the ruling party because of its continued poor performance, observers said.
It was hoped that the mayoral elections, particularly the one in the southern port city, would serve as an indicator for the 2004 presidential race, and as a test of cooperation between the KMT and PFP.
While Ma garnered some 111,000 more votes than he took last time, his victory could hardly be attributed to a successful consolidation of the so-called "pan blue" camp.
His charisma and his satisfactory report card as mayor should take major credit for his comfortable victory in a city whose voters were relatively less committed to partisan politics.
In Kaohsiung, the "pan blue" camp had been marred by infighting until the very last days ahead of election day, when PFP Chairman James Soong finally made his mind to support Huang.
The opposition's infighting was partly to be blamed for Huang's narrow defeat. But the defeat, along with the pre-election dissent, was symptomatic of the unbridgeable gaps in the "pan blue" camp.
The defeat also proved that voters may not be as frustrated with the DPP as the opposition had claimed, as Hsieh still managed to take over half of the ballots.
Observers said Hsieh's hard-won battle show that the DPP has succeeded in consolidating its support in southern Taiwan.
While the KMT said the "pan blue" consolidation came too late to lift Huang's campaign, observers predicted that the 2004 presidential poll may see a similar scenario, or even a repeat of the 2000 split.
In the last presidential race, Soong broke with the KMT to mount an independent campaign against Chen and Lien Chan, who was then second in command of both the nation and the KMT.
The KMT split took its toll on both Soong and Lien, with the former losing by a narrow margin, and the latter ending up an embarrassingly distant third.
Some KMT legislators were quoted by the Central News Agency as naming Ma as the "number one" candidate for the next presidential race.
His victory has certainly established him as the superstar of the KMT's young Turks, but observers said there are many obstacles lying ahead on his road to the 2004 presidential candidacy.
He has to gauge the voters' response to his quitting the mayorship seat mid-way through his four-year term. And he may not find himself as appealing to voters outside of Taipei.
Soong and Lien, neither of whom is likely to give up what could be their last chance of a comeback, are two major obstacles.
Many observers said Soong is hoping to recruit Ma as his vice presidential partner in what the PFP chief estimates as the ideal form of "pan blue" cooperation.
But the "pan blue" race in Kaohsiung has proved that a "pan blue" cooperation deal for the 2004 race may not come easy, and Ma's superstar status may add more difficulties to the deal.

Free Agency 2011 – The Race for Sidney Rice
Free Agency 2011 – The Race for Sidney Rice
While there's more back and forth regarding the CBA with suggestions of power plays and such, I'm taking a fairly unique approach.
The "la-la-la-la-la" approach. A system that works by putting my fingers in my ears and pretending everything is going to be alright. I've tried working things out in my head logically, but that just confuses me more. So, while my new approach doesn't make me any more informed, it's a lot simpler to follow.
With that in mind, I'm work on the basis of a deal being just around the corner and free agency being upon us. Marching ahead with profiling some of the most sought after free agents, step forward, Sidney Rice.
Top Receiver?
One of the things that I'm really looking at in free agency, is who gets paid more: Rice or Santonio Holmes. If you look at their body of work it's pretty clear to me that Santonio Holmes is a guy whose on-field production is a lot more trustworthy (we'll save the off field stuff for another day). The former Steeler made "that" Super Bowl-winning catch, and has since developed into one of the top receivers in the league. Assuming he doesn't get suspended, he's as close to a sure thing free agent receiver as there is.
Rice, however, has one year of top quality production, and is coming off an injury-plagued 2010. Both men have red flags, but right now Rice has the bigger ones. So then, why I am writing about Rice and not Holmes? Well it's simply a case of believing Rice presents a more interesting option to a number of teams, and that (and I may be placing too much faith in his 2009) he has a higher ceiling as a player. Any way you look at it, both men are extremely talented, and a lot of what is written here will be applicable to Holmes as well.
Getting past that little tangent, let's look at five teams who will be looking for Sidney Rice to become their deep threat.
5. Minnesota Vikings
Why it will happen: Minnesota can lock up a deal before other teams, and Rice seems to get along fine with management. While home town discounts need not apply, Rice, you feel, would be more inclined to take an offer from Minnesota given his history with them. The Vikes want Rice back and he's a priority for them.
Why it won't: Where does the money come from to pay Rice? Essentially, you feel Rice may stay with Minnesota but why would he when another team could throw far more up-front money his way?
4. Seattle Seahawks
Why it will happen: There's plenty of money in Seattle and there seems to be a feeling a vertical threat is what they need. They have the big possession receiver but could use someone to keep defenses fearful of the deep ball. Rice is that guy and Seattle won't be scared of paying him. New offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has plenty of familiarity with Rice.
Why it won't: The Seahawks have nothing in the short term or long term currently at quarterback. Just look at Steve Smith in Carolina last year to see how frustrating that can be. Does Rice want to put himself in that position?
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
Why it will happen: Mike Sims-Walker is departing and the Jags are left with Mike Thomas as the only receiver on the roster you'd trust. They need to get better so their passing game can keep defenses honest. Otherwise, Maurice Jones-Drew's condition won't be the only worry for their running game as teams don't account for the Jags going deep. It wouldn't hurt a rookie quarterback to have a weapon like Rice in the long term as well (for whenever Gabbert gets the job).
Why it won't: Would Rice be interested in Jacksonville? They have an uncertain quarterback position, don't look like a playoff team on the surface and are in a small market that may not give him the profile he feels his talents deserve. Jacksonville has plenty of money and a legitimate need, but there may be some better options out there for Rice.
2. Chicago Bears
Why it will happen: The Bears have a multitude of receivers under or around the six foot mark. Speedster guys who will do something after the catch, or beat you with sheer speed. They don't have that big target that quarterbacks love to chuck the ball up to. Cutler had his best year (2008) when he had that big physical target who can make the window to hit receivers that little bit bigger. Rice equals a better Cutler, and the Bears aren't afraid to make a free agent splash. Chicago has plenty of cap room as well.
Why it won't: There are plenty of other areas to upgrade on offense, especially the line. They could serve with bringing in three others players, and could stand to add a stud like Brandon Mebane at defensive tackle. They seem pretty happy with their receivers as well.
1. St Louis Rams
Why it will happen: The Rams have plenty of money and a whole load of issues at wide receiver. Sure they have plenty of bodies, but they're a combination of young, unproven talent and guys coming back from serious injuries. Sam Bradford needs to take a step forward this year, after largely attacking short and intermediate routes. He needs to start challenging teams deep, and a player like Rice will make that challenge a lot easier. They have cap room.
Why it won't: You wonder if the Rams may want to try the "throw as much at the wall" approach, hoping to strike cheaper gold with one of the 16,423 receivers on the roster. Sure, they all have question marks, but one of them has to have the right answers, right?
There will be other suitors. Young talents like Rice don't often hit the open market. But right now it makes too much sense for St Louis – and especially for Sam Bradford and his development – for them not to make Rice an offer he can't refuse.

Remembering 9/11
"I can remember being at work and somebody came in and said that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center and I thought, 'OK, well, maybe it was just an error,' and I kept working. She came back and said another one just crashed. And I'm like, 'Oh, my God!' So we all just started talking about it and going to watch the news. Yeah, I remember it vividly."
— Laura Johnson
"I volunteered at the Brainerd Fire Department but I was at my regular job at Liberty Tool and my wife called me at work. My boss made me run home and get a television set and we set it up and we basically didn't work the rest of the day. Then after that we went down to the fire hall and I don't remember much after that. Just watched everything at the fire hall about what was going on."
— Aaron Johnson
"On September 11th, I was at work at Mercy Hospital and I just went into a room and I heard it on the news. I guess I just kind of felt really saddened and helpless because there's nothing you could do, and I just felt kind of awkward about continuing on with my day taking care of patients when all that heartache was going on."
— Brenda Jentsch
"I was at home on my computer and a friend of mine called and asked, 'Are you watching television?' and I said 'No.' He says, 'You better turn it on.' I was getting ready for a fishing trip. We were leaving the next day to go to Black Duck Lake. I turned it on and I saw the second plane hit the second tower and I'll never forget it. I mean, that was just pathetic, and then to see those people jump out the windows like they did to their death, their certain death, was a real low point in my life."
— Jim Erickson
"I was having a good time at the casino and I found out about it when I went to cash in my chips and someone standing alongside me said, 'Holy smokes, there were at least 50,000 people killed in an attack on New York City,' and that was it — then he left. Of course I was stunned and I went back and told my friends and, of course, it turned out to be a terrible tragedy, but not to quite the extent he made it out to be. Not belittling the tragedy — just relieved it wasn't the 50,000 I at first thought.
"It was a terrible thing. That was the end of our playing at the casino that day. We all piled in the car and went home to get further updates on it.
"That's a day I won't forget — one of those days, like (the assassination of )John Kennedy in 1963."
— Dale Swenson
"I remember I was sitting in class and all of a sudden they came over with the broadcast, and I just thought, 'Really, what is going on?' So I walked out of class and I found the nearest television set and I sat there and I watched and I could just see people crying hysterically and people were whispering, going 'Oh, the Twin Towers were just attacked.' There were 3,000 people killed or more.' And if I remember right, all I could do was cry and think, 'Why would anybody do that?'
"I can just remember tears running down my face as I watched the terror on TV, as families were scrambling to find their loved ones and they were thinking, 'I don't think I'm ever going to see them again.' The entire school was piled around the TV — I know they let us out of class."
— Brandee Stomberg
"I was at my kitchen sink and I was canning tomatoes and I had the television on — why I did, I don't know, because I don't normally. I think one of the Today shows or something was on. And when I heard the first announcement, they said, 'Oh, that must be a terrible accident.' That was the first plane. But that changed as the second plane came. Of course I just stopped canning. I had my pressure cooker going and I was making my next batch for the jars but I ended up sitting down and watching it and it was hard to believe, really hard to believe that anything like that would be intentional, especially to the World Trade Center."
— Mary Lou Cody

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Professional complainer Charlotte Allen takes to the pages of the LA Times today to complain about her competition: the "superstar atheists" who professionally complain about religious believers. People like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, P.Z. Myers, etc.
Which is fine. Sometimes these guys are annoying. And they certainly don't need me to defend them anyway. But after some fairly routine whining about how much she hates all these other whiners, Allen drops what's rapidly becoming my all-time least favorite argument from the religious crowd:
The problem with atheists — and what makes them such excruciating snoozes — is that few of them are interested in making serious metaphysical or epistemological arguments against God's existence, or in taking on the serious arguments that theologians have made attempting to reconcile, say, God's omniscience with free will or God's goodness with human suffering. Atheists seem to assume that the whole idea of God is a ridiculous absurdity, the "flying spaghetti monster" of atheists' typically lame jokes. They think that lobbing a few Gaza-style rockets accusing God of failing to create a world more to their liking ("If there's a God, why aren't I rich?" "If there's a God, why didn't he give me two heads so I could sleep with one head while I get some work done with the other?") will suffice to knock down the entire edifice of belief.
Please. This argument has become ubiquitous lately (was there some secret meeting or something?), which I suppose is a confirmation of Drum's Law: the more inane a complaint is, the more popular it becomes. And this one is right up there. Aside from the fact that if you so much as scratch any of these "serious arguments" you end up with a handful of air, the fact is that atheists have addressed them in sophisticated ways since the beginning of organized religion. But they do it in journals and convocations and formal theses and other equally tedious venues, not in bestsellers at Barnes & Noble. Just like religious believers, who are represented in the nation's bookstores and chat show circuits by sophisticated tomes like the Left Behind series and the collected works of Robert "Possibility Thinking" Schuller.
If you want to believe, it's fine with me. But contra Allen, don't pretend that atheists can easily get elected to public office, that creationism is no big deal, or that believers have gobs of sophisticated theological arguments that atheists have never had the guts to take on. It may be comforting, but it just ain't true.

New Chronicles of Rebecca HTML version
Fourth Chronicle : A Tragedy In Millinery
Emma Jane Perkins's new winter dress was a blue and green Scotch plaid poplin,
trimmed with narrow green velvet-ribbon and steel nail-heads. She had a gray jacket of
thick furry cloth with large steel buttons up the front, a pair of green kid gloves, and a
gray felt hat with an encircling band of bright green feathers. The band began in front
with a bird's head and ended behind with a bird's tail, and angels could have desired no
more beautiful toilette. That was her opinion, and it was shared to the full by Rebecca.
But Emma Jane, as Rebecca had once described her to Mr. Adam Ladd, was a rich
blacksmith's daughter, and she, Rebecca, was a little half-orphan from a mortgaged farm
"up Temperance way," dependent upon her spinster aunts for board, clothes, and
schooling. Scotch plaid poplins were manifestly not for her, but dark-colored woolen
stuffs were, and mittens, and last winter's coats and furs.
And how about hats? Was there hope in store for her there? she wondered, as she walked
home from the Perkins house, full of admiration for Emma Jane's winter outfit, and
loyally trying to keep that admiration free from wicked envy. Her red-winged black hat
was her second best, and although it was shabby she still liked it, but it would never do
for church, even in Aunt Miranda's strange and never-to-be-comprehended views of
suitable raiment.
There was a brown felt turban in existence, if one could call it existence when it had been
rained on, snowed on, and hailed on for two seasons; but the trimmings had at any rate
perished quite off the face of the earth, that was one comfort!
Emma Jane had said, rather indiscreetly, that at the village milliner's at Milliken's Mills
there was a perfectly elegant pink breast to be had, a breast that began in a perfectly
elegant solferino and terminated in a perfectly elegant magenta; two colors much in
vogue at that time. If the old brown hat was to be her portion yet another winter, would
Aunt Miranda conceal its deficiencies from a carping world beneath the shaded solferino
breast? WOULD she, that was the question?
Filled with these perplexing thoughts, Rebecca entered the brick house, hung up her hood
in the entry, and went into the dining-room.
Miss Jane was not there, but Aunt Miranda sat by the window with her lap full of sewing
things, and a chair piled with pasteboard boxes by her side. In one hand was the ancient,
battered, brown felt turban, and in the other were the orange and black porcupine quills
from Rebecca's last summer's hat; from the hat of the summer before that, and the
summer before that, and so on back to prehistoric ages of which her childish memory
kept no specific record, though she was sure that Temperance and Riverboro society did.
Truly a sight to chill the blood of any eager young dreamer who had been looking at
gayer plumage!

IT VARs & Telecom Service Sales: State of the Channel Report
A Report Co-Produced by Channel Partners and CompTIA
Channel Partners and CompTIA have collaborated on ground-breaking research on the state of agent-VAR partnerships for the past four years. In 2014, the organizations zeroed in on the predominant partnership model — VARs selling telecom services through agents. In February, they fielded brand new surveys to both agents and VARs seeking their perspectives on the status, drivers and challenges of VARs selling telecom services. The following research findings offer a look into the decisionmaking process that IT VARs are moving through now as they evaluate their place in a telecom services market.

Trojans Take Another Tight Loss
Oct. 2, 2011
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- The USC women's soccer team's frustrating stretch of tight losses has extended to six games after the Trojans outplayed Oregon but still came up on the losing end of a Pac-12 clash at McAlister Field. Ahead of the Ducks on the shot count and moving the ball well, the Women of Troy were broken by a first-half penalty kick and a 63rd minute Oregon goal that answered a USC second-half score. That left USC with a 2-1 loss on home turf, putting the Trojans at a 3-9-0 overall record and 0-3 start to Pac-12 play. Oregon goes to 6-5-1, 1-2 with the win.
USC's senior core of midfielders, Carly Butcher, Brittany Kerridge and Ashli Sandoval, helped generate plenty of offensive pressure by the Trojan front lines throughout the game. Although the Women of Troy were dominating possession, the Ducks would catch a break during the first half when Bri Pugh got loose and was fouled inside the box to set up an Oregon penalty kick. Scout Libke converted the opportunity, taking the Ducks ahead 1-0 in the 33rd minute of play. Hard work up front from Jessica Musmanno, Ashley Freyer, Haley Boysen and Geena Graumann helped USC create more chances in the waning minutes of the first half, but the equalizer wouldn't come in the first 45.
Early in the second Elizabeth Eddy got loose on the attack for a chance. Contact from a defender on the charge caused Eddy to stumble, but no whistle would come on that early opportunity. Instead, USC would find a boost in the 57th minutes when Kerridge set up for a corner kick on the right side. She sailed a perfect ball into the box for a looming Kristina Noriega, who headed the ball home and leveled the game at 1-1 for the Trojans. Six minutes later, however, the Ducks managed an answered push. Shanelle Simien would find Pugh on the left side of the goal for a strike that she finished, bringing Oregon back on top with a 2-1 edge. The Women of Troy continued to press, getting hard shots on goal from Boysen, Eddy and Kerridge, but none would get through, and USC was left with another frustrating loss on home turf. USC is 0-7 at McAlister Field this season, and all but one of its nine losses on the year have been by a single goal. USC has out-shot its opponent in all but two of those losses.
The Trojans push on through Pac-12 play next weekend with a trip to the Bay Area. USC will face Stanford in a 7 p.m. match on Friday (Oct. 7) before playing Cal at 1 p.m. on Sunday (Oct. 9).

Video: "Interstellar" trailer
posted at 4:41 pm on May 16, 2014 by Allahpundit
To cleanse the palate, I'm torn between thinking this looks awfully bland and generic and knowing that it's a Christopher Nolan movie and therefore won't be bland and generic. That's what makes it intriguing. You know Nolan's going somewhere with this flick that's more interesting than the "2001"/"Contact" remix that the trailer makes it appear to be. But where?
Actually, given the subplot about a global food shortage, maybe he's going for a parable about climate change. Can't wait.
Hit or miss, though (and it'll certainly hit), respect the man for understanding his medium. With television drama getting better every year, the payoff from the big screen increasingly comes from larger-than-life subjects like superheroes and space travel. Nolan mastered the former; it was inevitable that he'd turn to the latter. Someday soon lavishly produced musicals will also be back in vogue, not just an occasional one-off like "Chicago" or "Les Miz," and then the universe will finally be in balance.

SEA OF CORTEZ, Mexico -- "Dolphins at two o'clock," said Melissa, a fellow paddler, and we all glanced over to watch four gray dolphins come splashing by, arcing out of the water, flipping and slapping their tails playfully on the ocean's surface. A flock of pelicans soon followed, flying single-file just inches above the water.
"OK, cue the whales," joked Rob, another kayaker, and as if in a comedy sketch, they appeared, spouting a misty funnel of spray off in the distance, just to the right of the chiseled brown hills at the base of the Sierra Giganta Mountains. This scene was repeated daily as we kayaked around Mexico's Sea of Cortez, and only the characters changed. Maybe we spotted a fin whale rather than a blue whale; or a great blue heron or osprey stood in for the pelicans.
The day my friend Cathi called from Vermont to suggest a "girls' getaway," temperatures in parts of New England were 20 or 30 degrees. I was game. She wanted to do something active and outdoorsy, requiring little thought, preparation, or extra gear, and preferably a trip she couldn't do with her children, ages 2 and 5. We considered Chamonix, in the French Alps. I wanted something a little more adventurous, in a spot where temperatures were a good 50 degrees warmer than at home. Baja fit the bill on all counts. We weren't big on organized trips, but sea kayaking around an unfamiliar area as wonderfully remote as Baja's offshore islands was not an activity we would do alone.
Seven of us had signed up to spend a week paddling around two uninhabited islands, Isla Danzante and Isla Carmen, off the east coast of Baja, in a newly established national marine park, Bahia de Loreto. This would be a wilderness adventure, we were told -- no showers, no civilization (we saw only a few fishermen, two other kayaking groups, and a lone tour boat all week), and we would carry a week's worth of supplies in our kayaks.
The outfitter, Sea Kayaking Adventures, would provide all camping and kayaking gear, plus guides who, it turned out, could field even our silliest questions and whip up mouthwatering meals, a mix of Mexican and North American dishes. We, in turn, were expected to pitch our own tents, wash our own dishes, paddle, and have fun -- quite opposite the high-stress, rigorous pace most of us were used to.
The paddlers in our group ranged from 26 to 52, and had flown in from Oregon, Denver, Wisconsin, St. Louis, Boston, and Vermont. We had a recreational therapist, two writers, a former submarine officer, and three "computer people," including Rob, who confessed that despite living at the foot of the Rockies, the closest he usually gets to nature is his screen saver. Several of us were experienced kayakers, while others had never paddled before.
The trip began in Puerto Escondido, a half-hour south of Loreto, the oldest settlement in Baja and once the capital of California, when this Spanish-ruled area stretched from Baja to San Francisco. Six hundred miles south of the border (a 2-hour flight from Los Angeles), Loreto maintains an easy pace: It has roadside vendors selling silver jewelry, Mexican blankets, and other handmade crafts; a few small hotels; one supermarket; and several outstanding restaurants.
After a safety talk, during which we learned basic paddling and rescue techniques, and were given a rundown on the boats, we set off in our two-person, 21-foot kayaks. Each fiberglass boat weighed about 200 pounds, had specially designed foam-padded seats and adjustable backrests (a big plus after a few hours paddling), and were named according to their vibrant colors: Mary Kay (bright pink), Winterfresh (light green), Pia Colada (a dusty yellow), and so on.
That first day on the water, we kayaked alongside Isla Danzante, where the jade-colored water was so translucent we could see hundreds of sea creatures below us: starfish, orange sea horses, sergeant majors, and parrotfish, as well as seemingly endless mounds of coral -- and that was just what stayed underwater. A few feet offshore, the water turns deep blue and plunges 1,200 feet, making it an ideal spot for the 70-to-80-foot blue whale to feed.
Jacques Cousteau once called the Sea of Cortez "one of the world's aquariums." It is the richest body of water on the planet, biologically speaking, with more than 3,000 species of marine life. I would add that it's a bird-watcher's paradise, a geologist's dream, and heaven for anyone seeking a getaway or a good waterborne adventure.
My compadres and I spent two to five hours on the water each day, paddling by cliffs where white trees grew out of cracks in the volcanic rock, past valleys full of towering Cordon cactus and sage-colored scrub, and around rocky headlands where birds perched on rocks and held out their wings to dry in the breeze.
Although the Sea of Cortez can be choppy and full of swells, we had four days of glassy or just slightly rippled seas. The calm conditions helped preserve our strength and made spotting the wildlife a lot easier. Kayaking along Isla Carmen, past sandy and coral beaches, we spotted blue-footed boobies and ospreys overhead, and a manta ray with a 6-foot wingspan just floating on the water's surface. We saw a green sea turtle about twice the size of my kitchen sink, dozens of blue and fin whales, and three strange logs sticking out of the water that Lino, one of our local guides, said were the head and flippers of a sleeping sea lion.
For lunch, we stopped off in wineglass-shaped bays with names like Honeymoon Cove, White Beach, and The Aquarium. Here, we snorkeled around angelfish and wrasses, and explored tidal pools, where we found tiny hermit crabs the size of a baby's fingernail. Or we walked along rock ledges that lined the shoreline, occasionally spooking big, scarlet-red crabs that went clicking across the rocks as they scurried away from us. Some had simpler ideas: "OK, today, I'm working on tanning my thighs," someone said, and that's about as ambitious as our goals were by midweek.
At night, we sat on the beach, kicked back in our camp chairs, and rested. This required dipping tortillas into the ceviche bowl (a Mexican dish of yellowtail fish, cilantro, onion, tomato, and lime juice), watching the sun dip and the moon rise simultaneously, and sitting through a repeat of the day's matinee: pelicans skimming the surface, dolphins swimming past, and the occasional, familiar poofing sound of a whale in the distance. Those of us with extra energy played Frisbee, while others went for a walk. And some took advantage of the onboard library: In a dry bag, our guides had packed books on whales, birds, and the history of the area.
Bahia de Loreto protects 800 miles of coastline and islands off Baja's east coast. This area was formed when tectonic plates split, cracking open mountains and severing a part of Mexico from the mainland. This left behind a 1,000-mile-long finger-shaped stretch of land now known as Baja California and one of the planet's youngest seas. That was about 25 million years ago. Meanwhile, as the area was split open along the San Andreas Fault, there was intense volcanic activity, forming the mountains seen here today. Now, this quiet, protected area is a popular destination for overnight kayaking trips.
A natural bonding went on after the sun set and seven strangers and their guides sat around a beach staring, mesmerized, at lunch bags filled with white sand and burning candles (our pseudo campfire, since fires were recently banned in the marine park) and talked about everything from geology, relationships, and pedicures to outdoor adventures. Then the evening's real entertainment began: name games, brain teasers, and a much funnier and wackier version of charades.
Several of us slept in spacious tents on the beach each night -- we were given three-person tents for doubles and two-person tents for singles and had plenty of room to spread out. Others, however, chose to fall asleep under the shooting stars and bright moon, spreading their tarps on the sand and laying their Therm-a-Rests and sleeping bags down on top (with temperatures in the 40s or 50s at night, they also donned fleece hats and jackets).
By week's end we had shared adventures, secrets, and lots of laughs, kept talk of work to a minimum, and enjoyed the simplicity of living outdoors for a week, with nothing more than the gear we could stash in our kayaks.
Best of all, Cathi and I had fully thawed out from the subzero New England temperatures, Rob had captured dozen of photos for his new screen savers, and we were all recharged and ready to get back to children, jobs, and cold-weather lifestyles.
After six days on the water, covering about 37 nautical miles, we headed back to Puerto Escondido, where a van would whisk us back to civilization. As we paddled the last few miles from Isla Danzante to the mainland, a pod of more than three dozen dolphins crossed our path and put on a final show: flipping, leaping, and slapping their tails on the water's surface, while pelicans flew overhead waiting to scoop up morsels left behind by the feeding dolphins.

Greenville City Council looking for new member
GREENVILLE — The Greenville City Council members will be accepting letters from people interested in filling a position on the City Council.
During Tuesday night's regular scheduled meeting, the council accepted a resignation letter from Councilman and former Mayor Kenneth Snow. The resignation took effect Tuesday.
Snow, 67, wrote a letter to city Clerk-Treasurer Bradley Hool, citing "personal and health issues" as reasons for resigning. Snow also thanked city staff for their dedication and the community for allowing him "the honor and privilege" of serving on the council.
Snow joined the council in 1992 and was appointed mayor five years ago.
"I appreciate the citizens of the city of Greenville who had the confidence in me to re-elect me to another term as councilperson," Snow told The Daily News after the meeting. "However, I have come to the realization that my main priority is spending time with my family."
Hool recommended the council appoint a new council member by accepting letters from people interested in the position.
City Manager George Bosanic said the council will have to appoint a new council member within 30 days. If someone is not appointed within 30 days, it will force an election, which will cost money.
"We are a little cramped for time," Hool said.
The person appointed will fill the rest of Snow's four-year term, which began this year after his re-election in November.
The council approved notifying the public and will give people two weeks to show their interest by submitting a letter to the council stating why they are interested in the position.
Mayor John Hoppough and Councilman Larry Moss appreciated all the work Snow has done.
"I want to express my gratitude to (Snow) who will be greatly missed on this board," Moss said.

Wine Zebra (Supima Cotton)
The inspiration for this sock came from the diagonal patterns in native American rugs from the southwest. Available a wide range of colors, it has become one of our most popular designs. A fun feature is the shift in color when seen from one side, then the other. The line up the back is a nod to the seam found in hosiery throughout time.

New York Times reporters Michael Powell and Sarah Wheaton devoted an entire story to making fun of a Republican in Tuesday's "Romney Waxes Lyrical at a Holiday Parade in Florida."
"Mitt Romney, whose 1950s manner and celebratory drink of choice call to mind a milkshake man more than a rap singer, gave a shout out Monday that left no doubt that he had spent little time listening to hip-hop.
"Mr. Romney, the Republican candidate from Massachusetts by way of Michigan and Utah who enjoys a milkshake at the end of a long day, stopped by a staging area for a Martin Luther King Birthday parade here. In his dress shirt and tie, and with his unwavering smile, he walked over and posed for photographs with a group of black youngsters. Putting his arm around a teenage girl, he waved to the cameras and offered, 'Who let the dogs out?' He added a tepid 'woof woof.'
"Somewhere, the Baha Men, the Bahamian group whose 2000 song the candidate was referencing, must have been shuddering."
While the Times had fun with the stiff Romney, it didn't spare any room in Tuesday's edition for the image of a sleeping Bill Clinton at a Martin Luther King event at a Harlem church.

Defensive Tackle (1980-83)
White, who died Dec. 26, 2004, at the age of 43, collected a school-record 32 sacks in his four years with the Vols to establish himself as the most prolific pass rusher in Tennessee history. Fifteen of those sacks came in his senior year of 1983, a campaign former Vols head coach Phillip Fulmer called the "most individually dominant season I've ever seen." Known as the "Minister of Defense," White went on to a 17-year pro football career, retiring as the NFL's all-time sack leader with 198. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2002. He graduated from Tennessee in 1990 and his number was retired by the Vols on Oct. 1, 2005.

The off-spinner, whose presence was missed as England drew 0-0 against New Zealand in the recently-completed Test series, went under the knife in Minnesota earlier this month in an attempt to cure the long-standing problem.
As he reported for duty at Nottinghamshire's pre-season media day, Swann said: "I feel great. I want to be back as soon as possible because I'm bored stupid already. I think it would kill me if I sit down and watch too much cricket at the start of the summer without being an active part of it. I want to play as much as I can."
He added: "By the end of April I hope to be bowling. I don't know if that's realistic or not, but that's how my mind works.
"The surgeon (Dr Shawn O'Driscoll) has reassured me it was a lot more straightforward this time.
"In an ideal world I'd be fit and proving to the coach and captain that I'm bowling well to make the first Test of the summer (against New Zealand, starts May 16).
"That's my aim. Whether it's pie in the sky or too optimistic, that's the goal."
England have long been concerned about Swann's elbow, part of the reason he has been one of the most frequent beneficiaries of their rotation policy, particularly in one-day cricket.
The player himself, now 34, has previously cast doubt on his likely longevity at the top level but he was upbeat when asked about the future.
"I'm not too worried. The hunger is still strong," he said. "I love Test cricket and I'll play as long as my body can stand it, whether that's 12 Tests of 112.
"But I've not been worried about anything long term because I know I'll be fine. The last time the operation I had was far more serious and the recovery was great - he was able to sort me out and get me fit for four years of unbelievable Test cricket.
"I was bowling for three-and-a-half years relatively pain-free and that was one of the signs in New Zealand; all of a sudden I got a sore back, shoulder, abdominals.
"It was all down to the fact the elbow wasn't working properly. Now it's all clear and it should be right as rain."

Transitioning A Waterfront Away From the Fishing Industry
"A group of wharf owners asked for the change, saying they could no longer afford to care for the aging structures with the rents they get from fishermen and their like. The owners point to bleak statistics: landings at Portland's seafood auction, for example, dropped to 6.3 million pounds last year from 17 million in 2006.
'We're only trying to find ways to keep these properties generating revenue,' said Charlie Poole, whose family has owned Union Wharf since the 1800s. 'We can't afford to have a lot of space sitting idle as we wait for fishing to come back.'"
The proposal to bring new kinds of development to the wharf area is expected to go before the city council next month, but some worry that handing the area over to commercial developers will destroy the waterfront's connection to the fishing industry.

My name is Tim McEvoy, I was born in Omaha. I'm still here. I was raised on hotdogs and catholicism.
My minor art achievements include: Vice president of my high school art club, three sad years of college where I studied art, printmaking, and technical drawing. I have no degree, but I learned a few things. I opened my own screen printing business for about three years. I've shown work in many group shows. I have had two solo shows, one at the now defunct coffee shop, "Shock" and one at the Dark Room Gallery, both in Omaha. I work primarily with acrylics on canvas.
