- Publisher's Summary
- In "The Baron in the Grand Canyon, " Steven Rowan presents the first comprehensive look at the life of Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Egloffstein, mapmaker, artist, explorer, and inventor. Utilizing new German and American sources, Rowan clarifies many mysteries about the life of this major artist and cartographer of the American West.This revealing account concentrates on Egloffstein's activity in the American mountain West from 1853 to 1858. The early chapters cover his roots as a member of an imperial baronial family in Franconia, his service in the Prussian army, his arrival in the United States in 1846, and his links to his scandalous gothic-novelist cousin, Baron Ludwig von Reizenstein.Egloffstein's work as a cartographer in St. Louis in the 1840s led to his participation in John C. Fremont's final expedition to the West in 1853 and 1854. He left Fremont for Salt Lake City where he joined the Gunnison Expedition under the leadership of Edward Beckwith. During this time, Egloffstein produced his most outstanding panoramas and views of the expedition, which were published in "Pacific Railroad Reports."Egloffstein also served along with Heinrich Balduin Mollhusen as one of the artists and as the chief cartographer of Joseph Christmas Ives's expedition up the Colorado River. The two large maps produced by Egloffstein for the expedition report are regarded as classics of American art and cartography in the nineteenth century.While with the Ives expedition, Egloffstein performed his revolutionary experiments in printing photographic images. He developed a procedure for working from photographs of plaster models of terrain, and that led him to invent "heliography, " a method of creating printing plates directly from photographs. He later went on to launch a company to exploit his photographic printing process, which closed after only a few years of operation.Among the many images in this engaging narrative are photographs of the Egloffstein castle and of Egloffstein in 1865 and in his later years. Also include are illustrations that were published in the "PRR, " such as "View Showing the Formation of the Canon of Grand River[today called the Gunnison River] / near the Mouth of Lake Fork with Indications of the Formidable Side Canons" and Beckwith Map 1: "From the Valley of Green River to the Great Salt Lake.".

This is the 'laughing all the way to the bank' bit.
Put simply, this is the bit where we identify potential exit opportunities andprepare your business for sale.
We'll be there to help you through the negotiating process from start to finish. Of course the measure of success is always different. More often than not, it's about cold hard cash. However sometimes it's a lifestyle choice. The old adage of working to live rather than living to work is more relevant today than ever. But whether you want to take your money and run or simply take a year off, we have good reason to believe you'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
"Negotiating with a large industry player like Arteche was complex and time consuming. Fortunately we were able to draw on sound advice from a range of advisors in particular the directors at ATP Innovations. This advice and support has been invaluable in helping us to negotiate the deal successfully."
John Haywood, CEO, Smart Digital Optics.
Smart Digital Optics manufactures optical fibre sensors for the electric power and smelting industries. Smart Digital Optics is one of the first companies to incorporate optical fibre sensors into power metering systems allowing users to measure electric currents with unprecedented levels of accuracy and ease. With compact systems and a higher capacity for digital data Smart Digital Optics' products move away from traditional devices which are relatively costly and cumbersome to install.
In June 2010, Smart Digital Optics secured a $4.5 million contract with Arteche, a well established electrical company based in the Basque region of Spain. Under the deal, Arteche will invest $1.5 million in the company each year until December 2013 and will incorporate Smart Digital Optics technology in their services. The investment allows Smart Digital Optics to continue exploring opportunities to expand globally. This new synergy presents Arteche with an opportunity to enhance their existing services to meet increasingly sophisticated consumer expectations.
As with most start up technology companies, the team was rich with technical knowledge, but needed the ATP Innovations team to add the relevant business experience.

OTTAWA, Ont.–Following a Competition Bureau investigation in the ocean freight industry in Canada, Overseas Container Forwarding, Inc. (OCF) pleaded guilty to two counts under the criminal conspiracy provision of the Competition Act for its participation in a price-fixing cartel related to various surcharges, including surcharges for currency exchange rate fluctuations and fuel. OCF was fined $675,000 by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa and is required to set-up a corporate compliance program under the terms of a prohibition order.
OCF agreed or arranged with Elvio Lancione, Michael Teixeira and ECU Line Canada Inc. (ECU), and other participants, on the rates, or formulas used to calculate the rates, of various surcharges between January 1, 2005 and March 6, 2011 for the supply of non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC) export consolidation services from Canada to various foreign destinations, said a release.
On April 8, 2014, Elvio Lancione, Michael Teixeira and ECU also pleaded guilty to charges related to the fixing of surcharges for the supply of export consolidation services.
The Bureau began investigating this cartel in December 2009 once it became aware of it by way of its Immunity Program. The investigation is also benefitting from the cooperation of companies under the Bureau's Leniency Program, including OCF.
"Price-fixing represents one of the most egregious forms of anti-competitive behaviour and today's guilty plea sends a clear message that price-fixing activities will not be tolerated in Canada," said John Pecman, Commissioner of Competition, in a statement.

You're going to start seeing those big 630 CHED Santas Anonymous boxes in shopping malls, Costco's, Toys R Us and new for this year, Canadian Tire locations.
Santas Chief Elf Lana Nordlund swung by 630 CHED's Afternoon News for a chat with J'Lyn and Andrew and she says she's excited for their new permanent home in the Gerry Forbes Centre for Community Spirit.
"This is going to be fabulous. Once other charities move in, we're going to be able to collaborate on so many things and assist. When it's our off season we can help other people, when it's their off season, things like that. The charities, we can do so many things together, be able to help each other. It's going to be really cool. Especially not working alone in April."
Nordlund says she really hopes that if you can, that you'll consider making a donation.
"You come to Santas' depot and you think, 'oh, that looks really cool, this is full, there's all these boxes.' But, when you think about it every child gets a book, a stuffed animal and two other gifts. It adds up so quickly, and those boxes empty out so quickly."
Nordlund has some advice if you're still thinking of making a donation.
"We do gift from newborns right up to age 12, and we find most of the toys and gifts that we get are for the three to eight year old group. So, as we have in past years we're asking for the younger kids and the older kids. So, think about the nine year old you or the eleven year old you."
She also says that you may enjoy buying a gift for an infant or toddler.
Nordlund says in addition to the donation boxes found in our retail partner locations, you can also drop off your new unwrapped gifts at their new permanent location in the Gerry Forbes Centre for Community Spirit, the address is 12122 68 St. You can also drop off your gifts in the lobby of our station on Roper Road and 84th street.

The journey of Tim Visser from Holland to Murrayfield where tomorrow he will start on the left wing for Scotland challenges feelings of ill-will some hold about the three-year residency rule.
Test football's credibility is stretched by those nomads who earn their eligibility simply by settling in one place for three years before usually drifting off in search of their next pay cheque. But Visser, although he emerged through this very route, somehow seems different, acceptable: almost noble even.
The 25-year-old was born in the Dutch town of Zeewolde to a rugby nut father who became the Netherlands' most capped player. Visser, rather handily physically equipped at 1.93m and 109kg, came to love this strange game that was in his father's soul and was packed off to an English boarding school to hone his skills.
He cracked a spot in the England secondary schools team - at lock - and after a few seasons playing professionally for Newcastle he was signed by Edinburgh in 2009.
His impact was immediate - coming off the bench to score a hat-trick in five minutes - an astonishing strike rate that he has continued.
He has been the RaboDirectPro12's leading try scorer in each of the last three seasons and has touched down an impressive 43 times in 74 games for his club. It was absolutely no surprise then that when he did become eligible for Scotland on June 12 this year, he was rushed into the team where ... he scored two tries against Fiji on debut.
Direct, confrontational and quick, Visser is a handful. He's being viewed as a possible British Lion in Australia next year and his opposite tomorrow, Cory Jane, was moved to do some research on the big Dutchman.
"I had to YouTube him," says Jane. "I thought that if I was going to be in this team (All Blacks to play Scotland) I'd better see who I might be up against. He's a big boy - it is actually getting ridiculous how big some of these fellas are.
"He's new to international rugby but he scored a lot of tries at club level on the YouTube stuff I was watching. It will be interesting to get a go at him, but in international rugby you only get one or two opportunities one-on-one with your opposite man."
Visser will no doubt be delighted if he does indeed get just one opportunity. Scotland have struggled to generate width in recent seasons and his supply of ball may be limited.
But he won't necessarily mind if the game doesn't come his way. His dream is being fulfilled - as a child he wanted to be just like Jonah Lomu. The great All Black was an inspiration and he longed to one day play test rugby against New Zealand.
Clearly, that was never going to happen if he stayed in Holland and this is where the residency ruling has a valid and almost uplifting role to play. Visser is not some disgruntled New Zealander who spent a few years trying to crack the All Blacks before selling out to a foreign club and the prospect of three years later serving a nation for whom he feels nothing.
This is a man from a rugby backwater whose performance tomorrow could do unimaginable good in growing the profile of the game in Holland. Visser doesn't seem mercenary or self-interested and the Scots appear to view him as indisputably theirs without a hint of resentment in the way a few non-Scottish selections have irked in the past.
The Scots have seen the value of going Dutch.

Filed under: Cane: First Footprints, Evolution, Science
Tags: Current sea level rise, Dreamtime, Flood myth
I have almost completed reading First Footprints: The Epic Story of the First Australians by Scott Cane. It is based on the recent TV series of the same name. So few Australians know much about the history of aboriginal Australia and reading/viewing a work like this inspires one to call out for making such knowledge a core part of every Australian school's curriculum. It not only has the potential to encourage an unprecedented respect for our indigenous brothers and sisters, but also the hope of deepening our understanding of the way our environment changes and challenges its inhabitants over the long term.
The story starts with the staggeringly incomprehensible eruption of Mount Toba in central Sumatra, Indonesia, around 74,000 years ago. It dropped up to three metres of ash over much of India and Pakistan. It pushed out a 40 metre tsunami that was registered in the English Channel. "It blew 3000 cubic kilometres of volcanic rock into the air, beyond the world's atmosphere and at least 40 kilometres into space at a rate of about 10 million tonnes per second."
Darkness covered much of the world; forests turned to grassland; extinctions occurred; temperatures fell; and a world already facing droughts from an emerging ice-age plunged into even more devastating "mega-droughts" and perhaps the coldest the earth has ever been in the past 125,000 years.
The human population suffered horribly — reduced, perhaps, to a population of 50,000 people in which there were as few as 4000-10,000 breeding females. (p. 13)
The first evidence for human settlement in Australia comes in the wake of this event. Human survivors downwind and east of the eruption may have been the first to arrive; or perhaps the first settlers belonged to those who began their trek from Africa and followed the southern Asian coastline till they reached here. The founding population of Australia came in a wave of around 1000 people — according to genetic research.
They were met with megafauna: 3 metre high kangaroos, 7 metre long "lizards", 2 metre high "geese", herds of "wombats" standing 2 metres at the shoulder, lions lurking in trees ready to pounce on prey below. One way to control wildlife threats was to burn the forests and long grass around their dwellings and so remove the cover for the predators. Aborigines have continued to use fire for the same purpose into modern times — clearing out the long grass to remove threats of snakes and expose the holes where edible goannas hid. Later more sophisticated "fire-farming" was developed and changed much of the landscape of Australia into liveable "gardens" of plots that were regularly recycled for hunting and foraging.
I'd love to talk also about the nomadic feats of these early colonizers, all that we can learn about them from their rock art, and the way they used "Dreaming" (collections of tales of myths) to hold their communities together and to even guide them across vast distances like topographical maps. But the real reason I began this post was to talk about something of interest to those of us who have grown up with the Bible as our "foundation stone" of "true myths".
18,000 to 15,000 years ago retreating glaciers ushered in a "wholly new" (Holocene) era of a warmer and wetter world. Sea levels rose. read more »

A theologian prominent in the blogosphere has posted an article Why People Reject Evolution. It is a re-post of one of those flippant smart-alec type blog-posts that put-downs with ridicule those with views the theologian in question himself once held. We can only wonder why he shows so little compassion or understanding as he now mercilessly mocks and taunts those who continue to stand fast where he once stood. Is this some sort of Freudian attempt to suggest one was once a total idiot and therefore deserving of mockery? I'd prefer to think that once we emerge from views we now find embarrassing that we'd attempt to approach others with those views with more depth of understanding and compassion.
The first thing that hit me about the list of reasons people reject evolution was that they bizarrely omitted the central fact about the theory of evolution that probably all the books of evolutionary scientists I have ever read stress most emphatically. How can a list of reasons people reject evolution omit the one thing about the theory of evolution that is most central according to the view of nearly all evolutionists?
Here are the "top ten" reasons in headline form from the linked article. See if you can see the one key fact missing:
1. You think "it hasn't been observed" is a good argument against it.
2. You think we've never found a transitional fossil.
3. You think macroevolution is an inherently different process than microevolution.
4. You think mutations are always negative.
5. You think it has anything to do with the origin of life, let alone the origins of the universe.
6. You use the phrase "it's only a theory" and think you've made some kind of substantive statement.
7. You think acceptance of evolution is the same as religious faith.
8. You think our modern understanding of it rests on a long series of hoaxes perpetuated by scientists.
9. You don't like Pokémon because you think it "promotes" evolution.
10. You think it's inherently opposed to Christianity or the Bible.
Hang on! Did the author(s) of Genesis really write account(s) they (if only they knew) would be consistent with evolution?

Tip Hillman has launched a new atheist Kickstarter project called Bright Simon's Guide to Being Smarter Than God in an effort to
It's for a younger audience, and begins:
Kick scientific truth forward! Let's produce Bright Simon's first book, posters and t-shirts to promote freethinking, facts, and fun.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look at Bright Simon's Guide to Being Smarter Than God. It's a multi-faceted project that includes a printed book, posters, stickers, and T-shirts, all designed to promote science and rational thinking. It revolves around an atheist character, Simon, who contrasts the dubious claims of beliefs with the verifiable proof of science. His motto is "Aren't You Curious?" and his goal is to promote knowledge and secular-based virtues in a friendly way through popular culture.
To fund the project $8000 needs to be pledged by August 30th.

Tags: In Gods We Trust: The Evolutionary Landscape of Religion (Evolution and Cognition Series), Relationship between religion and science, Scott Atran
Religion has not gone away since the end of the Europe's religious wars and the ensuing Age of Enlightenment. Indeed, scientific advances and the rise of secularism may even be largely responsible for religious revivals. Anthropologist Scott Atran writes about current research on religion, including his own. One of his online 2012 articles, God and the Ivory Tower: What we don't understand about religion just might kill us. Now I used to love Richard Dawkins' colourful critique of religion. Who could possibly argue with:
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. (God Delusion, p. 51)
But Scott Atran is one scholar who is forcing me into a rethink lately. He argues that it is misguided to think that religion will go away if we can rationally disprove all of its beliefs and premises. Fighting religion with reason and facts just doesn't work because that sort of tactic completely misunderstands what religion is. Religious people know their beliefs are counter-intuitive and do not conform to the commonsense systems of thought that govern our everyday functioning in the physical world. Indeed, Atran argues, that's the point of religion, and there is a clear benefit to groups and individuals within groups because of this. I will explain the arguments and evidence in future posts.
Till then, there is a clue to Atran's conclusions in the following observation:
Thus, a century ago, while visiting the United States, Max Weber (1946:46) observed that even the most hard-headed capitalist would make it his business to advertise his faith in order to display his trustworthiness to others. . . . [P]eople apparently infer that explicit professions of faith carry the implicit message that trustworthiness matters — in the unblinking and forever watchful eyes of God — and commitments will be met even at great cost and even when there is no hope of reward. Science and secular ideology are poor competitors in this regard. (In Gods We Trust, p. 276. )
I expect to post more articles referencing Scott Atran's works (In Gods We Trust is only one of his titles that I have beside me to read) on the nature of religion in the coming year and more) but till I start in earnest I leave here his concluding distinctions between Science and Religion. read more »

Yesterday (13 February), James McGrath posted a congratulatory note to two winners of the latest Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grant competition. The ECF panel faced some hard choices. They fielded requests from scores of applicants, but had only about $3 million to shell out.
You'll be happy to learn that a number of the fortunate grantees will be working on important projects related to "questions about Adam and Eve, the Fall, human identity, and Original Sin—some of the most critical interpretive issues for evangelical theology."
I suppose on the face of it, nonbelievers shouldn't care if Christians want to embrace biological evolution. In fact, it sounds like a promising idea. However, if that embrace suffocates the scientific method, then we can hardly call it a victory. Indeed, if we look at the BioLogos charter do we find science and religion viewed as a partnership of equals? Hardly.
Under the heading "What We Believe," they state:
7. We believe that the methods of science are an important and reliable means to investigate and describe the world God has made. In this, we stand with a long tradition of Christians for whom Christian faith and science are mutually hospitable. Therefore, we reject ideologies such as Materialism and Scientism that claim science is the sole source of knowledge and truth, that science has debunked God and religion, or that the physical world constitutes the whole of reality. (emphasis added)
All right. It isn't something I would sign onto. And I confess I get a little uncomfortable when Christians use the term Scientism, since it's clearly an invented derogatory term that doesn't mean much outside their echo chamber.
But it's their deal. So if it gets them on board, "no harm, no foul," right? Maybe not.

Richard Dawkins is confronted with all the hard questions and criticisms he has raised with his book The God Delusion in an interview on Al Jazeera — with an otherwise very intelligent interviewer who, it turns out, believes Mohammed flew to heaven on a winged horse!
The questions he faces pull no punches and I personally thought the interviewer had the better of him when it came to citing the evidence for the motivations of suicide bombers. Richard also faces all those other criticisms his book has provoked — is religion a force for good or evil, faith, science, liberal religion, atheism, what is the worst form of child abuse, facing up to the good done in the name of religion, the meaning of life . . . . .

From Jerry Coyne's comments on responses to Bill Nye's attack on creationism (reformatted), posted on his blog, Why Evolution Is True:
Theistic evolutionists are creationists, pure and simple; they differ from straight fundamentalist creationists only in how much of life God was involved in creating, ranging from
- those who think God set the whole plan in motion, knowing it would culminate in that most awesome of species, US,
- to those who think that God tinkered with mutations to create the right species (see the philosophical work of Elliott Sober),
- to those who think that humans are set apart from other species because God inserted a soul in our lineage (that's the official view of the Vatican).
That is being anti-evolution as scientists understand it, since we see evolution as a naturalistic process that has nothing to do with deities.
Sadly, far more Americans are theistic evolutionists than naturalistic evolutionists: the proportions among all Americans are 38% to 16% respectively (40% are straight creationists, 6% are unsure). We have a long way to go.

I loved this video clip of Frans de Waal's talk, Moral Behavior in Animals. (It was recently linked on Jerry Coyne's Evolution is True blog.) It demonstrates that more animals than humans have evolved moral attributes of empathizing with others, offering others consolation, "prosocial" tendencies such as caring for the welfare of others, and a sense of fairness. The talk begins by balancing the themes we used to hear so often about our nearest animal relatives being so aggressive and territorial by showing that they also "believe in" reconciling after fights.
Or if you are short of time and want to jump to the funniest part where we see outrage over an unfair deal . . . . .

I smoke because Picasso smoked. And because Hitler didn't.
— Albert Finney
Robert Wright, a senior editor at The Atlantic, in his recent piece called "Creationists vs. Evolutionists: An American Story," explains why the U.S. has seen a recent uptick in the number of people who believe in Young-Earth Creationism (YEC). Is it because of the endless hammering by the holy hucksters on TV? Is it because of the 24-hour, nonstop Right-wing noise machine? Is it because of politicians who pander to ignorance and supernatural mumbo-jumbo? Of course not. It's because of those mean old "new atheists."
Jerry Coyne's response over at Why Evolution Is True effectively debunks Wright's distressingly poor thesis, especially the part where we were supposed to have been in the middle of a truce between science and superstition until extremely rude people like Richard Dawkins forced people to choose. I can add very little to Coyne's remarks.
What intrigues me is this idea that people would choose to support or not support a given scientific theory based on the people associated with it. Over at the HuffPo, Michael Zimmerman, the founder of the Clergy Project, asks: "Who's Responsible for the Evolution/Creation Controversy?" You know the kind of article it's going to be from the start when he adds, "It's Not As Simple as Some Would Have You Believe." Ah yes, the old "plenty-of-blame-to-go-around" piece, as predictable as earwigs after a hard rain. But catch what he says about men (and women, we suppose) of the cloth and their role in the debate:

New neighbours have moved in for a few months — two owls who think they're dogs and bark instead of hoot.
Discovered them recently when I heard dog-barking sounds coming from up in a tree. That experience always requires investigation and this is what I found. Unfortunately I could not get a video of them but I captured the sound nonetheless.
Here's the Wikipedia article on Barking Owls.
The last few days I've only ever seen the one perched in the tree. Hope the explanation is that its mate is hidden in a fork of a nearby tree caring for eggs.

Physicist Victor Stenger argues in HuffPo that
Scientists and science organizations are being disingenuous when they say science can say nothing about the supernatural. They know better. Their policy of appeasing religion for presumably political reasons only empowers those who are muddling education and polluting public policy with anti-scientific magical thinking.
His article is Science and Religion. I was alerted to it through Jerry Coyne's post on Why Evolution Is True.
Stenger opens with
I find it surprising that most scientists, believers and nonbelievers alike, refuse to apply their critical thinking skills to matters of religion. . . . . Scientists prefer to follow Stephen Jay Gould's dictum that science and religion occupy two "non-overlapping magisteria."
That, of course, means individuals are required to leave moral and ethical questions to "scholars who interpret ancient texts." Provocative Stenger opines that such a situation sounds to him like "Sharia law". Moral behaviour certainly is observable and a matter of scientific understanding. (It was my own realization that all social animals have "moral codes", including punishments meted out to those who break them, that helped me on my own journey towards atheism.)
Stenger addresses two (of several) types of scientific experiments that have been conducted to test what should be the observable effects of the supernatural on the natural world: the phenomena of answered — or unanswered — prayer and near-death experiences.

Thanks to Jerry Coyne's latest post at Why Evolution Is True many of us have been directed to a Mike Aus article on RichardDawkins.net that confronts what should be obvious to all thinking people: evolution and Christianity and other Abrahamic faiths are not compatible.
Some excerpts:
If there is no original ancestor who transmitted hereditary sin to the whole species, then there is no Fall, no need for redemption, and Jesus' death as a sacrifice efficacious for the salvation of humanity is pointless. The whole raison d'etre for the Christian plan of salvation disappears. . . . .
Science has now shown us that both selfish behavior and altruistic impulses are at least partially heritable traits. The instinct for self-preservation and a concern for the well-being of other individuals appear to have both played a role in the survival and evolution of our species. If that is the case, then the tension between "sin" and selflessness might actually help define who we are as humans. The project of religion has been sin eradication, and that approach now appears to be a fundamental denial of human nature. . . . . read more »

For an excellent example of generally high-quality scholarship by someone who isn't a biblical studies professor, see Neil Godfrey's work posted on the website vridar.org.

Neil Godfrey and Tim Widowfield, who both write at Vridar . . . happen to be some of the most astute and well-read amateurs you can read on the internet on the subject of biblical historicity. I call them amateurs only for the reason that they don't have, so far as I know, advanced degrees in the subject. But I have often been impressed with their grasp of logic and analysis of scholarship. I don't always agree with them, but I respect their work.

Learning curves, American Idol and … '30 Seconds'
Brian Golden
Well, it's been an interesting week here at The Evening Sun (isn't it always?), spent learning the ups and downs of newspaper assembly, all so our esteemed editor can take a well-deserved mini-vacation in a few weeks. Needless to say, it's amazing just how much work goes into our hometown daily paper each and every day, and it's been both exciting and a little nerve-wracking while discovering more about the process. Regardless, it's a big responsibility and one I'm taking pretty seriously.
Moving on, how about last night's American Idol? Like millions of others out there, I'm now hooked on the one-of-a-kind talent show (thanks, Renée!), so much so that I've missed-out on most of the current Survivor, another "reality" show I somehow became addicted to. And while I can't say I've agreed with America's choices each and every week, that's an extremely talented bunch they've got up there on the stage. My breakdown of the top five? Here goes … Phillip Phillips (nice name): Dave Matthews clone, but by far the most original of the bunch (and at least he can actually play that guitar), and I suppose my favorite at this point in the competition. Joshua Ledet: What can I say? If Phillip is my number 1, then Joshua is my 1A (or 1.5 … or something). Fantastic voice, great showmanship and another true original. Jessica Sanchez: Extremely talented but kind of predictable (and maybe a little egotistical, to boot?). Has to be my number three simply because of Hollie Cavanagh (sorry, not a fan) and Skylar Laine (no comment … trying to be nice).
And now … my Most Ridiculous '30 Seconds' Post of the Week, brought to you by Man from Norwich …
"To the mfs (I'm guessing that means Man from Sherburne … or maybe Smyrna … Smithville?). If Obama gets another four years this country will be so far in debt that it would take a lifetime to get out of! Free market is the foundation of this country! Obama is a socialist!"
Umm … no he isn't. Do you even know the definition of socialist? Didn't think so.
This is your brain. This is your brain when you watch too much Fox News.
And now (cue "Eye of the Tiger") it's time for more training and/or reviewing of training notes. Yo, Adrian!

Springboks Coach Peter De Villiers Steps Down After Rugby World Cup Exit
South Africa coach Peter de Villiers signaled he would step down after the Springboks' Rugby World Cup defense ended in a quarterfinal defeat to Australia.
"It was a brilliant journey," De Villiers said at a news conference in Wellington yesterday following his team's 11-9 loss to the Wallabies. "There's a time to come and a time to go and I think the journey for me is over."
De Villiers, 54, was appointed as the first black coach of the Springboks in January 2008, replacing Jake White, who steered the national team to its second World Cup title in 2007.
During his tenure, the Springboks won 30 of 48 games including a 2009 series victory over the touring British & Irish Lions and three straight wins over New Zealand the same year to secure South Africa's first Tri-Nations championship since 2004.
It was often his public comments that gained him international attention. He escaped sanction from southern hemisphere rugby's umbrella governing body 14 months ago for suggesting that New Zealand was being favored to boost the All Blacks' popularity and sell more World Cup tickets.
In 2009, he defended Springboks flanker Schalk Burger over an eye-gouging incident during the series against the Lions.
"Why don't we go to the nearest ballet shop, get some nice tutus, get a great dancing show going, no eye-gouging, no tackling," de Villiers told reporters at the time. Burger was given an eight-week ban for making contact with the eye area of an opponent.
Springboks captain John Smit, who lifted the World Cup in 2007 under White's tenure, credited De Villiers with helping lift team spirits with his approach to the job.
"He was not the mold of coach we were used to," Smit, whose international career also came to an end with yesterday's loss, told reporters. "He's been a great man and he's helped us enjoy these four years. It's disappointing to end it like this."

I have read some similar post with these same trouble codes but no resolution. I know it's impossible to diagnose online but I would just like some suggestions on where to start.
Car is a 1995 VW golf 2.0L
It's bogging/missing a little not much though but I do have the engine light and those are the trouble codes.
Thanks in advanced.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Ashley wears a printed dress. While she babysits Faith at Crimson Lights, one realizes that the little girl deserves to have a mother who does anything for her children to protect them, including going to prison. This, of course, is in glaring contrast to Sharon who abandoned her loved ones in order to avoid jail time. Moreover, how is Faith going to pick up fashion tips from a mother in an orange jumpsuit? Good thing she has a mother-figure in Ashley, who wears pretty floral dresses like this one.

Russell E. Hinkie
NISSWA — Russell Edward Hinkie, 87, Nisswa, died at Birchwood Good Samaritan Nov. 12, 2011, surrounded by his family. Christian funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14 at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Pequot Lakes with Pastor Frank Milo officiating. Family and friends are invited to gather one hour prior to services at the church. Memorials preferred to the Gloria Dei Sound System Fund.
Russell was born on April 8, 1924, in Waseca, Minn., the son of Oscar and Valeria Hinkie. He graduated from Waseca High School and the Minneapolis Business College. After service during WWII, he returned to work at Cargill, Inc. and retired in 1984 after 41 years of service. He and his wife Berniece, a teacher, retired to the home that they had built on Lake Hubert.
His retirement years were full of service to others. He was instrumental in preserving the Lake Hubert Depot and then continued to beautify and maintain the grounds. He served as treasurer of the Lake Hubert Conservation Association for over 20 years and was active in the Nisswa Lions Club, the Interfaith Caregivers and Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Pequot Lakes.
He enjoyed gardening, fishing and being a part of his son's, grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's lives. He was a strong believer in education, enjoying the fact that his wife, sons and grandchildren all earned college degrees.
He was a living example of Matthew 25 and the parable of the Talents. His family believes that he is now enjoying "the joy of his master" and Jesus' greeting, "Well done my good and faithful servant."
Russell is survived by his wife Berniece; his sister Dona; sons Richard (Jennifer) of Payson, Ariz., and Mark (Linda) of Port Ludlow, Wash.; grandchildren Gretchen, Erik, Todd and Ociel and great-grandchildren Addie, Ella and Cole.

LONDON, May 22 (Reuters) The widow of poisoned former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko met Russia's ambassador in London today and got no response to calls for the man charged with her husband's murder to be extradited.
Marina Litvinenko met the ambassador after Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said it would demand the extradition of Andrei Lugovoy, another former Russian agent, for the murder by deliberate radiation poisoning of Litvinenko, who suffered a slow death in a London hospital last year.
''It was not an easy meeting for him because I asked him his opinion about the extradition of Mr Lugovoy from Russia,'' she told British television.
''He did not answer me, because it's not his decision.'' Russian judicial sources have ruled out handing over Lugovoy.
Litvinenko's widow said she would continue to fight for justice for herself and her son. She said she did not believe responsibility for her husband's murder lay with one person.
''We don't know why my husband was killed, and who asked for this murder,'' she said. ''I believe it was not only one person.'' In a statement released earlier today, Marina Litvinenko thanked British police for their investigation.
''It is thanks to them that we have reached the point today of having a named person to be charged with this crime.
''I am now very anxious to see that justice is really done and that Mr Lugovoy is extradited and brought to trial in a UK court.'' REUTERS DS ND1942

• Macmillan's "low cost" scheme to publish new fiction without paying advances has polarised industry opinion. In the Guardian last week, novelists derided the scheme, with Hari Kunzru mocking it as the "Ryanair of publishing". But Macmillan insists the plan stands up to scrutiny. Instead of automatically rejecting unsolicited manuscripts, it will read them and pick a handful for the New Writing list. These will be lightly edited, and published in standard £15 hardbacks with tiny first print runs. Royalties will be set at 20%, leaving little room for literary agents.
Macmillan says it is working on imaginative ways to market the titles: suffice to say they won't get much advertising or bookshop promotion. The publisher knows that most of the books will struggle to sell more than a few hundred copies, and ruefully admits it won't turn a profit from the list. Its real motives are to look outside established routes to find new talent: crucially, the contracts include rights to the second novel. If an author shows bestseller potential, they will quickly find themselves on a mainstream Pan Mac imprint. The initiative also neatly circumvents the intense pressures and risks of trade publishing today, where stratospheric advances are followed by desperate pitches for retail space. As sponsor of Richard & Judy's recent writing competition, Macmillan saw there was a vast pool of talent struggling to find a voice. And as long as the authors sign with their eyes open, who would deny them the chance to get into print?
• After a stellar Christmas performance, Waterstone's has turned in a weaker set of figures for the start of 2005. Sales at the UK's largest bookseller for the 15 weeks to April 23 fell by nearly 3%. It blames the sluggish consumer spending environment — Ottakar's also reported a "challenging" start to the year. Yet BookScan figures for the whole market paint a different picture: overall book sales rose by more than 6% for the same period. This suggests that the strongest growth is coming from outside the high street, particularly from the supermarkets (Tesco and Asda are leading the field with commercial authors such as Patricia Cornwell, who takes Dan Brown's number one crown this week). It also intensifies the pressure as booksellers put the finishing touches to their plans for July 16: Harry Potter day.
• The man who started it all by "discovering" JK Rowling for Bloomsbury, Barry Cunningham, went on to launch children's publisher Chicken House. Cunningham's talent-finding flair, publicity nous and Hollywood contacts have given his tiny Somerset company a big profile. But a need for marketing funds and global reach led to this week's sale to children's books giant Scholastic. The deal cements an existing relationship in America, where Scholastic sells Cunningham's authors such as Cornelia Funke (2.6m copies and counting). Scholastic pledges to maintain Chicken House's autonomy, and push its titles through its book clubs and school book fairs. "Scholastic sees us as a very bright star," Cunningham says.
• Book magazines aimed at general readers are notoriously hard to keep afloat. Ink, which aimed to be the Q or Empire of books, hit the rocks last year. But niche literary magazines and journals are flourishing. May sees the relaunch of NewBooks, which targets reading groups, with interviews (William Boyd and Karen Joy Fowler), extracts, reviews, and book giveaways. Quirky literary journal Slightly Foxed has just celebrated its first birthday. And at the upmarket end of the scale, Zembla is relaunching.

Midnight Approaches: While Strasburg Looms for Nats, Red Sox Lock Up Top Picks
|08.17.09 at 12:58 pm ET
Midnight looms for major-league baseball teams to reach agreement with the players selected in this year's June draft. And no issue looms larger than that of the future of top overall draft pick Stephen Strasburg and his negotiations — with the contributions of "adviser" Scott Boras — with the Washington Nationals.
Strasburg has been described as a once-a-generation talent, a pitcher with a more explosive fastball than Daniel Bard or Justin Verlander, capable of complementing that pitch with above-average off-speed stuff (a curve and changeup — and good luck to batters who are geared up for a 100+ mph fastball if he can also sell a changeup). The Nationals have already leaked word that they have made a record offer for a drafted pitcher, exceeding the $10.5 million that Mark Prior got to sign with the Cubs.
Of course, Prior offers something of a cautionary tale. He was viewed as a perennial Cy Young contender with perfect mechanics that made him virtually injury proof. Instead, following a collision while running with the bases in 2003 and heavy usage by then-Cubs manager Dusty Baker, prior encountered shoulder injuries that derailed his career. He has not pitched since 2006, another example of a huge prospect taken near the top of the draft who never panned out.
Prior is not alone. Brien Taylor was taken as the top draft pick by the Yankees in 1991, a left-handed pitcher who had stuff out the wazoo (including a 99 mph fastball) when he was taken out of high school. But he ruined his shoulder in a bar fight, and never reached the majors. In 2004, the Padres took shortstop Matt Bush with the top pick of the draft. He was arrested shortly after his selection, never proved able to hit in the minors, was eventually converted to pitching and, after that experiment failed (he blew out his shoulder), is not even pitching in the minors.
There are cautionary tales, to be sure. That said, it is possible to exaggerate the dangers of the top draft pick.
Since the draft was implemented in 1965, 19 of the 44 top selections (not including Strasburg, who has yet to turn pro) have made at least one All-Star team. Former top picks Ken Griffey, Chipper Jones and Alex Rodriguez have all put up Hall of Fame numbers in their careers; Joe Mauer is in his fifth full season of doing the same.
The common denominator of those players, aside from their draft status, is that they are all position players. Pitchers, on the other hand, have been a riskier lot, with just three of the 13 pitchers taken first overall making an All-Star team. (Even the group of All-Stars is anything but illustrious: Floyd Bannister, Mike Moore and Andy Benes weren't exactly annual Cy Young contenders.)
Will Strasburg be able to fulfill his potential in a fashion that would be unprecedented for a pitcher taken with the top of the pick? Will he even seek the opportunity to do so, or will he walk away from an eight-figure offer from the Nationals in an effort to use his singular talent to bring down the draft system? The answers will start to come by midnight. And the baseball world will be watching with considerable fascination to see what will emerge from the Bermuda Triangle of Strasburg-the Nationals-Boras.
The Red Sox will be no different. For months, team officials have wondered what the future might hold for Strasburg. But Boston has been in the rather enviable position of detachment while watching Boras' tireless efforts to claim millions of dollars for his amateur advisees this year.
The Sox did not draft a single Boras client this year. And so, the team has enjoyed a relatively calm negotiation period, in which the team has locked up most of the top talents whom it selected.
To date, the one significant disappointment for the Sox has been the fact that sixth-rounder Branden Kline will not sign. The right-hander was viewed as possessing immense potential, with the frame and delivery that suggested the potential for a mid-90s fastball and a nasty curve. But Kline didn't play in a summer league, and instead seemed intent on fulfilling his academic and athletic scholarship to the University of Virginia.
Otherwise, the Sox have reached agreements with a raft of high-end talents. The team has spent particularly aggressively to secure the services of top prep talents, and in recent days, the team has spent almost $4 million to secure the services of players who fell in the draft due to questions about their willingness to sign.
The most prominent players who have signed with the Sox in recent days include:
–3rd-round pick David Renfroe (signed for $1.4 million), a pitcher and shortstop who earned some comparisons to David Wright; he will be groomed as a position player with the Sox
–7th-round pick Madison Younginer (signed for $975,000), a right-handed pitcher with a fastball that touches the high-90s and a slider that made his high-school opponents weep
–10th-round pick Brandon Jacobs (signed for $750,000), a powerful running back and outfielder who has what Sox amateur scouting director Jason McLeod describes as 'goofy power'
–11th-round pick Justin Thompson (signed for $300,000), a shortstop who can also play second and third and shows a solid all-around game
–18th-round pick Renny Parthemore (signed for $150,000) is a right-handed power arm who shows the potential for an above average fastball and curve
–26th-round pick Miles Head (signed for $335,000, according to Jim Callis of Baseball America) is a corner infielder who showed significant power in several high school showcase events
When the smoke clears on Aug. 18, the Sox will have added a number of young players (mostly high schoolers) whom they hope will one day make an impact at the major-league level. That impact, clearly, is coming at some cost, though clearly nothing like what the Nationals are spending ' in time, money and sanity ' with Strasburg and Boras.

|03 Aug 2004 13:49:49 EDT
I am running a Treatreg model and want to calculate the impact of = the program. 1. The Stata References S-Z manual lists a formula for E(Y|Z=3D1) = - E(Y|Z=3D0). Does anyone know of papers that have used this = formula? 2. What would be the justification of using this formula instead = of ATE or TTE as appears in Heckman, Tobias, and Vytlacil (Review = of Econ and Stat August 2003)?

Police investigating the fatal shooting of a road worker near Tokoroa yesterday say no one heard gun shots.
Detective Inspector Tim Anderson told a press conference in Taupo today that a logging truck driver saw Hamilton man George Charles Taiaroa, 67, fall to the ground but did not hear any shots fired.
The Hamilton man was operating a stop-go sign about 3.20pm yesterday on Tram Rd in the Kinleith Forest area which bridges the Waikato River.
He had stopped a vehicle to allow a logging truck from Rotorua firm Rotorua Forest Haulage to cross a bridge.
As the driver passed Mr Taiaroa after crossing the bridge, he saw the road worker fall to the ground with gunshot wounds.
The other stop-go operator was about 200 metres from where Mr Taiaroa collapsed.
Mr Anderson said the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident.
"We have had a good response already from the public and we have a number of reports we are following today."
He said police were following up on a number of vehicles which could have been involved, including a blue four wheel drive-type vehicle similar to a Jeep Cherokee.
When asked about any motive for the killing, Mr Anderson said: "It is only day two and it is too early to speculate around motives."
Mr Anderson said there were more than 30 experienced police staff from Rotorua, Tauranga and Taupo working on the investigation.
In a statement released by Mr Taiaroa's family today, they said they were dealing with the loss of a loving husband, father and grandfather.
"This has been an unexpected and shocking event for everyone concerned. The family would like to acknowledge the overwhelming support they have received."
A local woman who knew Mr Taiaroa briefly said he enjoyed a beer and a steak occasionally.
"He was pretty cheeky, a chirpy, lovely man who always had a smile and a word to say," she said.
"We were supposed to meet up for a beer on Saturday and then this happened, it's awful, just so tragic."
Earlier, Detective Inspector Mark Loper said police appreciated that the community would be concerned by yesterday's tragedy and will want to know what they can do.
"The community has a significant role to play in this investigation going forward. Every piece of information, particularly in these early hours and days could be vital; no matter how small or irrelevant that information may seem."
Police were particularly keen for people who were in the Atiamuri area and its surrounds to think back to 2.30pm to 4pm yesterday and report to police any vehicle seen speeding or driving erratically.
Officers would be supporting the man's family, who hopefully could help catch the killer.
"Background information from the family will be vital to the investigation going forward," he said.
Mr Taiaroa worked for national company HEB Construction, and earlier had been working with a crew on a new State Highway 1 bridge at nearby Atiamuri.
That bridge opened this week.
HEB chief executive Derrick Adams told Radio New Zealand yesterday that staff were "absolutely devastated".
The company's director Bruce Pulman told the Herald that staff were trying to find out more details.
"We're not fully up-to-date, police had the place in lockdown. I believe he was one of the stop-go boys."
Police said there was no need for locals to panic.
A spokeswoman said: "We can reassure the public that police are working hard to resolve this incident at the earliest opportunity."
The Rotorua-based BayTrust Rescue Helicopter was called to assist as ambulances rushed to Mr Taiaroa, who died at the scene, near the Tirohanga Bridge. A section of Tram Rd was closed while police examined the scene.
The killing happened in a rural area where there are few houses.
One farmer said the first he'd heard of it was the rescue helicopter, while others were shocked to come across the police roadblocks.
From the top of a hill overlooking Tram Rd and the Waikato River a logging truck, from Rotorua Forestry Haulage, could be seen parked near the middle of the cordoned-off road.
Anyone with information should contact Taupo Police on (07) 378 6060, or anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

The Adventures of Jimmie Dale HTML version
I.6. Devil's Work
A white-gloved arm, a voice, and a silvery laugh! "Just that--no more! Jimmie
Dale, in his favourite seat, an aisle seat some seven or eight rows back from the
orchestra, stared at the stage, to all outward appearances absorbed in the last
act of the play; inwardly, quite oblivious to the fact that even a play was going on.
A white-gloved arm, a voice, and a silvery laugh! The words had formed
themselves into a sort of singsong refrain that, for the last few days, had been
running through his head. A strange enough guiding star to mould and dictate
every action in his life! And that was all he had ever seen of her, all that he had
ever heard of her--except those letters, of course, each of which had outlined the
details of some affair for the Gray Seal to execute.
Indeed, it seemed a great length of time now since he had heard from her even
in that way, though it was not so many days ago, after all. Perhaps it was the
calm, as it were, that, by contrast, had given place to the strenuous months and
weeks just past. The storm raised by the newspapers at the theft of Old Luddy's
diamonds had subsided into sporadic diatribes aimed at the police; Kline, of the
secret service, had finally admitted defeat, and a shadow no longer skulked day
and night at the entrance to the Sanctuary--and Larry the Bat bore the
government indorsement, so to speak, of being no more suspicious a character
than that of a disreputable, but harmless, dope fiend of the underworld.
Larry the Bat! The Gray Seal! Jimmie Dale the millionaire! What if it were ever
known that that strange three were one! What if-- Jimmie Dale smiled
whimsically. A burst of applause echoed through the house, the orchestra was
playing, the lights were on, seats banged, there was the bustle of the rising
audience, the play was at an end--and for the life of him he could not have
remembered a single line of the last act!

That secrecy long troubled consumer activists, who maintained that the public should be aware of product problems as they occur — the way they can learn about unsafe cars at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration site.
Last summer, you could have read numerous complaints on saferproducts.gov about pourable gel fuels used in outdoor decorative firepots, which caused explosions and fires. This was before the government announced gel fuel recalls.
So join me in wishing happy birthday to saferproducts.gov. And if you haven't used the site yet, give it a try. I hope it celebrates many more birthdays in the years ahead.

" Brand: Argos / Height: 58.8 cmWidth 48 cm / 1 internal shelf "
My living room in my flat has been designed by me with a clear image in mind throughout of having cookies and cream colours with glass furniture that compliments rather than takes away from the rest of my decor so when I began to purchase my furniture I purchased the Verona glass furniture range from Argos to try to keep within this remit and keep my costs down. Following so many successes with my purchasing of these products I decided to pick up one of the hi-fi units to increase my shelf space and it has been yet another triumph.
The item itself comes packaged in pieces in a nice big cardboard box but is not difficult to unpack as the total of the pieces is 3 glass shelves, 4 long legs, 4 short legs, 4 feet and 12 silver plastic covers. The assembly is very easy and takes hardly any time which is something that I always like when I am picking out any furniture I have to put together myself.
Once you have assembled the hi-fi unit you have 3 shelves available made of strong tempered glass meaning that you can have your hi-fi on here without needing to worry about the weight being an issue...for me I personally used this shelving unit for my fish tank on the top shelf, the fish food on the second shelf and the bottom shelf I used for a vase to decorate my room a little more and I can say that this unit had no issues with all of these items on this with weight or space.
The hi-fi unit is well designed and looks excellent with the glass frosted and the legs being made of grey plastic so that it does not try to be overly imposing so it actually fits in with the rest of your room decor.
So why go for this over other pieces? The price for this is ony £34.99 which for glass furniture like this is very good and with it being easy and quick to assemble you are not being ripped off.
- Excellent value for money
- Good looking piece of furniture
- Easy and quick to assemble
- Strong and well designed
- Frosted glass so does not show up dust or fingerprints as much as other glasswares
- None
This is a really well thought out and designed piece of furniture that is great value for money and I would highly recommend it.

The architecture was amazing. A combination of old (built around the town wall) and modern. The old stone work, including visible pieces of the granite mountain that is unmoved by man, made it interesting and rustic. Modern conveniences, like elevators There was nothing that I did not like. The only things preventing it from top scores was that the room was a little small, had a table that was too short to use easily as a desk, and the staff spoke very little English. That said, the staff was friendly

Local veterinarians, Dr. Miles Owens, Dr. Tom Fletcher and Dr. Will Sapp, will offer a discount animal vaccination clinic Saturday, Feb. 1.
The event, which runs from 9 a.m. until noon, will be held at the Buckeye Credit Union lot.
"This is an excellent opportunity to have your pet vaccinated at a lower cost," organizers said.
Proceeds from the clinic help will benefit Helping Hands of the Shelter, Inc., a local non-profit group that supports the animal shelter.
