Sundoulos - Spring 2006
Dean's Column
Ministry–Focused, Biblically Grounded
by Dr. Dennis Dirks
In this issue
- The Cat in the Hats
- Dean's Column
- Alumni Focus
- Campus News
- Faculty Activities
We continue to highlight the work of Talbot School of Theology faculty, this issue extending our series on ministry-focused departments to give attention to the Christian Ministry and Leadership (CML) Department. Paul's description of the purpose for leadership is an appropriate expression of the CML faculty's preparation of leaders: "For the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ" (Eph. 4:12).
The focus of the Christian Ministry and Leadership Department, formerly known as the Practical Theology Department, is the connection between Scripture and the practice of ministry. Faculty seek to prepare students for three areas of service: to lead the body of Christ in worship; to lead and equip Christians to build up one another; and to train them to reach their community for Christ. This purpose is a logical outcome of both the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. While emphasis is placed on the skills of ministry, these skills aim at assisting God's people to become all that God intends them to be.
CML faculty are leaders and innovators in relating the changeless truths of God's Word to the ever-changing contexts of ministry in the 21st century. Students are prepared in the grand, rich tradition of expository preaching with attention to accuracy in communicating the intent of Scripture to believers in today's milieu. Faculty equip students with skills of personal evangelism and strategies for ministries of discipleship. They guide students toward a biblical understanding of the pastor's call, purpose, and role in ministry, and how that understanding gives shape to leadership in worship, ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper, weddings, funerals, types of visitation, church planting and growth, leadership and management, and pastoral counseling in its various forms. Students are guided in experiences of ministry while they study, giving rapid application to ministry situations.
Talbot's innovative Intentional Character Development program was developed and is directed by CML faculty. Students are guided in deepening and enriching their relationship with God and in addressing issues of the heart that have bearing on their Christian walk and ministry. This program seeks to develop habits that will be sustainable throughout life.
Faculty themselves continue active involvement in ministry, continuing to hone skills passed along to students. They preach, teach, design and lead conferences, consult, and engage in a host of other ministry endeavors. In all their efforts, Talbot's Christian Ministry and Leadership faculty seek to be ministry-focused and biblically grounded. It is our pleasure to acquaint you with this sterling group of faculty.

I got his mother in churchand when she got out she got him,she had to move from her place so we took her in,then she moved out for awhile and we keep brandon after she got her life together and moved to start a new live we still kept brandon most of the time then after he started to school he stayed with her during the week but was with us when school was out on weekends and so forth.we have made sure he has not without,she never gave her husband guardenship of him nor us and they do have a boy together he treats him like he is king why treating brandon the oppist.I was told that brandon is consider a floating child
Thank you for the additional information. However, I'm not sure that you answered my question. What I was wanting to know is, are you any relation to this boy? From your information, it sounds like you are not related to him. Is this correct?
Also, where is the biological father?
Thank you.
No I am no kid and she never put a dad on the birth cert. but the man is no kid and didnt even know his mother or him intil he was 2 years old.I have talked to possibly the father and he was going to take a dna test but now haS CHANGED HIS MIND bRANDON IS 13 would he be able to decide any thing
With apologies, I am having some difficulty understanding your information. If I have it correct:
- The mother is deceased
- A biological father has never been named
- The mother's husband never adopted the child
- The mother's husband currently has custody
- You have no legal relationship to the child
- You desire to have custody of the child
If any of this is incorrect, please let me know. Assuming it to be accurate....
Candidly, there is no simple remedy for you. As you have no legal relationship with the child, you do not have standing to simply file for custody. This leaves you with very few options.
You might try simply approaching the step-father. If he does not provide proper care for the child, he may be willing to give you legal guardianship. Such an arrangement would give you the legal rights as if you were the parent. You could enroll the child in school, provide medical care and everything else that a parent could do for a child. Additionally, it does not terminate any rights of the step-father and, as such, he may consider it an acceptable course of action.
Another option would be to contact children's services. You have stated that he does not treat the child properly. If you believe he has abused or neglected the child, you could contact children's services and report the abuse and/or neglect. If, after an investigation, the allegations are well-founded, they would then look to place the child elsewhere. This, of course, could lead to the child being placed with you.

Class Guidelines
To help prevent injury and achieve a safe and effective workout:
- Arrive for class on time and remain until the end to ensure proper warm-up, cool-down and stretch. If you must leave early, please inform the instructor.
- Please inform the instructor of any special considerations (pregnancy, medical conditions, history of injuries, etc.). We recommend a physical exam and medical clearance before starting any exercise program. Inform the instructor immediately if you are feeling light-headed, dizzy, short of breath or pain of any kind.
- Modify the workout for your own particular needs. Learning to modify movements is essential in today's multi-level, multi-faceted fitness classes. Our instructors will demonstrate options for certain movements. If necessary, feel free to ask the instructor for an option if one is not offered.
- We strongly advise against the use of wrist weights, hand-held weights or ankle weights during the cardiovascular portion of class. Research shows the risk of injury far outweighs the minimal benefits. Only classes designed with slow and controlled movement are appropriate for use of weights.
- Our instructors are trained and certified to provide safe and effective routines. Please follow their routine. As previously noted, modifications are encouraged. However, if you feel the need to significantly alter the routine, we ask you remain in the back of the class.
- Proper footwear must be worn in every class. Street shoes or bare feet are not allowed for any class that involves impacting movement. Aerobics or cross-training shoes are appropriate for our classes. Ask your instructor for footwear suggestions and length of wear guidelines.
- Please refrain from chewing gum, eating candy or lengthy conversations during class.
- Please wear comfortable, breathable, non-restrictive clothing. It is important to drink water before, during and after class - by the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. We recommend you bring covered plastic water bottles into the classroom.
- Please note that increased body temperature due to exercise may intensify fragrances from scented lotions and perfumes. This may be offensive to others, so please be considerate.
- Negative energy must be left outside the classroom! Everyone is required to de-stress, let loose, enjoy, and have fun!
Attention Please: Our insurance coverage does not permit the presence of children under the age of 14 in group fitness classes. Thank you for your cooperation.

In the suburbs of Minneapolis lies the Mall of America, a megalith of a mall that is the country's largest retail and entertainment complex, and one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the U.S. Metro Transit, Minneapolis' light rail system, connects the Mall of America with the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, allowing visiting shopaholics to head straight from the airport to the mall without even going outside -- or taking a detour to Minneapolis. But anyone planning on traveling to the Minneapolis area and passing on the City of Lakes entirely is making, well, a mega mall of a mistake.
Minneapolis is defined by so much more than its proximity to the mother of all shopping malls. It's a city of lakes, neighborhoods, art, culture, cuisine and other cool things. Miles of futuristic climate-controlled skyways connect high-rise hotels to restaurants, stores and coffee shops in downtown Minneapolis. Lakes pool within peaceful city neighborhoods, offering sun-soaked beaches in summer and frosty natural hockey rinks in colder months. Chefs cook up avant-garde dishes, creating meals one would expect to find in the restaurants of New York or L.A. rather than a mid-size Midwestern city. A word of advice: Those gourmet dinners pair wonderfully with an evening show. A town with a big and bright Theater District, Minneapolis is second only to New York in terms of theater venues per capita. ("A Prairie Home Companion," Garrison Keillor's famous variety show, originates from nearby St. Paul's Fitzgerald Theater.)
Minneapolis' twin city, St. Paul, is located just across the Mississippi River. Think of St. Paul as the historic, refined capital city, and of Minneapolis as the more youthful, hip and energetic twin. Soon, it'll be a cinch to travel from one twin to the next. A light rail line connecting the two cities is scheduled to open in June 2014.

In the war-fevered spring and summer of 1861, a group of slaves in Adams County, Mississippi, conspired to gain their freedom by overthrowing and murdering their white masters. The conspiracy was discovered, the plotters were arrested and tried, and at least forty slaves in and around Natchez were hanged. By November the affair was over, and the planters of the district united to conceal the event behind a veil of silence. In 1971, Winthrop D. Jordan came upon the central document, previously unanalyzed by modern scholars, upon which this extraordinary book is based - a record of the testimony of some of the accused slaves as they were interrogated by a committee of planters determined to ferret out what was going on. This discovery led him on a twenty-year search for additional information about the aborted rebellion. Because no official report or even newspaper account of the plot existed, the search for evidence became a feat of historical detection. Jordan gathered information from every possible source - the private letters and diaries of members of the families involved in suppressing the conspiracy and of people who recorded the rumors that swept the Natchez area in the unsettled months following the beginning of the war; letters from Confederate soldiers concerned about the events back home; the journal of a Union officer who heard of the plot; records of the postwar Southern Claims Commission; census documents; plantation papers; even gravestones. What has emerged from this odyssey of research is a brilliantly written re-creation of one of the last slave conspiracies in the United States. It is also a revealing portrait of the Natchez region at the very beginning of the CivilWar, when Adams County was one of the wealthiest communities in the nation and a few powerful families interconnected by marriage and business controlled not only a large black population but the poorer whites as well. In piecing together the fragments of extant information about the conspiracy, Jordan has produced a vivid picture of the plantation slave community in southwestern Mississippi in 1861 - its composition and distribution; the degree of mobility permitted slaves; the ways information was passed around slave quarters and from plantation to plantation; the possibilities for communication with town slaves, free blacks, and white abolitionists. Jordan also explores the treatment of blacks by their owners, the kinds of resentments the slaves harbored, the sacrifices they were willing to make to protect or avenge abused family members, and the various ways in which they viewed freedom. Tumult and Silence at Second Creek is a major work by one of the most distinguished scholars of slavery and race relations. Winthrop D. Jordan's study of the slave society of the Natchez area at the onset of the Civil War is a landmark contribution to the field. More than that, his exhaustive and resourceful search for documentation and his careful analysis of sources make the study an extended and innovative essay on the nature of historical evidence and inference.

Here's the Halloween comic!
I do apologize for it not being as elaborate as last year's, but my brain is still speaking to me in physics, chemistry and math gibberish that, to my displeasure, I must try to understand. My brain being overloaded with SCIENCE!!!, please excuse my lack of… elaborate…eeer…stuffz…
So this brings me to the subject of classic 80's slasher flicks. Yes, I'll admit I haven't seen all of them, as you all know by now that I am a complete and total wuss. I am proud to say that I've seen the Nightmare on Elm Street series, as well as the remake, I've seen most of the Friday the 13th movies, and all of the Halloween movies.
I like the Halloween franchise. Just the music in the first film makes you uncomfortable, kind of like that unforgettable piece from The Exorcist (creep value of that one is off the scale). It was a very 'real' movie, the characters are believable for the most part, and what makes it scary and uncomfortable is you could see it happening. Out of the three main slasher icons, Jason, Freddy and Myers, Myers remains the more believable (unless you count the gazillion sequels). And I even got Boo to watch the Halloween movies even though he's more of a Jason fan.
Halloween, the first movie, is a true classic. I strongly suggest you curl up with your wife, husband (for the love of all that is holy, put your children to bed BEFORE you watch the movie), best friend, dog, or blanket and pillow and enjoy the creepy!
Do it or you'll make Micheal cry.

San Benito County Illegal Residence Controversy Gets Supervisors Attention
San Benito County Illegal Residence Controversy Gets Supervisors Attention
HOLLISTER, Calif.-- What if 911 couldn't track you down, because you're house isn't considered a legal residence? The Central Coast News Center for Investigative Action brought the problem to San Benito County earlier this week, and now one supervisor wants a change.
When one San Benito resident realized the guest house he was renting for the past six years was considered illegal he feared for his safety. This means that emergency crews could show up and go straight to the main house first, not even thinking twice that someone else lived on the property. This problem for one man is raising red flags for current code enforcement procedures.
Ron Rivkin, who lives alone with his dog, Bob, got the disturbing news five months ago.
"She said, "Well you're not in a legal residence, the legal residence is next door," so I said, 'What happens if I call 911 and need help?' and she says 'I don't know,'" said Rivkin.
With a medical history of three aortic aneurisms, he wanted out as soon as possible, but wanted the relocation fees from his landlord that the county promises.
"My landlord can't comply until I leave and I can't leave until he pays me the relocation, and he's not willing to pay a dime until he is forced to," said Rivkin.
According to Code Enforcement regulations the landlord should pay relocation fees, and be fined for renting out an illegal residence, but six months went by and the landlord hasn't paid. Instead he found a loophole in the clause. The landlord legally evicted Rivkin, so that he won't have to pay relocation fees. Supervisor Anthony Botelho is not satisfied with the outcome.
"What I found with Ron's case is that he is a victim and he wasn't aware that the secondary unit he was in wasn't compliant," said Botelho.
According to Botelho, this code enforcement issue goes way beyond Rivkin in San Benito County.
"It has always been a challenge for San Benito County through good times and bad. Our ordinances need to have teeth and incentives for people to understand zoning is the way it is," said Botelho.
According to San Benito County Counsel, Rivkin and his landlord are settling the relocation fee issue in court, and won't have anything to do with it until the Superior Court makes its decision.

Opening the console up, we still have two screens, with the top one supporting glasses-free 3D while the smaller bottom screen uses resistive technology to offer interaction through touch or using the included stylus. The touch screen is as responsive as ever, with even light touches being registered accurately. The stylus is a telescopic metal affair that's heavier and slightly longer than its DSi predecessor, and though it's not quite as comfortable it's still perfectly usable.
The main addition to the rather dated controls on older DS models is an analogue stick, which Nintendo calls the Circle Pad. This really is one of the 3DS' greatest strengths. It's vastly superior to the rather poor equivalent on the Sony PSP, offering a comfortable concave shape, slightly soft finish and perfect, springy action. It's almost as good as the regular sticks on a joypad, and perhaps its best recommendation is that it works really well in high-precision fighting games as well as for racers, platformers and what have you.
To be honest, it pretty much makes the D-pad below it redundant, though this can be used for different functions. With all the practise Nintendo has had, it's not surprising that the D-pad is also as good as ever, and the left and right shoulder triggers now offer far better feedback than ever before, making them a pleasure to use.
To the right of the touch screen we have the same four Y, X, A, and B buttons as before. Feedback is just a bit more shallow than on its predecessors, but you wouldn't notice without comparing them side by side. We would really have liked to have seen a second analogue stick below these for first person shooters, and this is one advantage that Sony's NGP or PSP2 will undoubtedly make the most of. Fast, precision first person shooters is a whole genre Nintendo has effectively handicapped itself in.
The Start and Select buttons now join a new Home button below the touchscreen. Though they have the appearance of touch sensitive controls, they're actually normal buttons though they're almost flush with their surround. To be honest, Nintendo has taken a step backwards with this implementation, as on the original DS models you could easily press these without needing to look. On the 3DS they're poorly differentiated and it's far too easy to press the wrong one by mistake.
We're also not overly fond of the power button and prefer the older side-mounted switch. However, pressing this button doesn't just switch the console off anymore. Rather, it brings up the choice to power down or enter Sleep Mode, which will bring back all your applications the way they were when you power it up next. Just remember that unlike Microsoft Windows' Hibernate mode, Sleep Mode will continue draining your battery – albeit at a far reduced rate.
Overall, we like the new console's controls. Despite a few devolutions, the Circle Pad and sharper triggers make the games we tried on the 3DS a joy to control, so we reckon Nintendo's latest portable is definitely a positive step.

Just a minor comment on the quote "Considering its small premium over previous generation DS systems". I don't see this. Nintendo DSI can be purchased from many online retailers for £100, a saving of £87 or approx 45%. Otherwise a good review.
@justinh, and some places goes as low as £89.
Now seems the perfect time to buy a DS if they are only £90.
Decent review. Just one minor nit-pick...
" It's no AMOLED display like on the Samsung Galaxy S or iPhone 4 Retina display"
...iPhone 4 uses IPS-derived LCD technology, rather than AMOLED.
@ justinh I believe the reviewer is talking about respective launch prices.
The respective prices at launch is specifically stated when talking about value. I understand the PSOne was available quite a bit cheaper than the PS3 on PS3 launch day, but I'm not sure it was better value :-)
"On the best launch titles, quality would appear to be somewhat better than the level of the original Xbox â€" an impressive feat considering this is a mobile console and that it needs to render each frame twice to output 3D." See a year ago I'd have agreed with you but look at what the iPhone (or better yet the iPad 2) is doing now and I'm not so sure it is that impressive to be honest.
And that's kinda my worry with the 3DS, that it's going to feel very dated very quickly. Not just in terms of graphics (Nintendo have proved that's not a major issue in the portable space, at least for their target market) but it just feels... old fashioned somehow. The stylus feels like an antique (and the resistive screen really removed the option of good finger control), the styling is a bit too close to the DS for comfort, the on-line options are, in places, a bit weak... Lots of little things adding up to what could be a big problem.
The one saving grace, the 3D stuff, effectively got neutered this week when Nintendo announced all games MUST run in 2D as well as 3D modes. That takes out any possibility of introducing real gameplay innovations and just reduces it to increasing immersion. That feels like a bad move to me and really removes a lot of my interest in the system.
Don't get me wrong, it's going to sell like gangbusters and I'm sure a lot of people will be very happy with it. I just can't help but wonder if it'll have the sort of long term impact that the DS (and its many many revisions) had especially as phones and other mobile devices race ahead with new technology at a ridiculous rate.
With Nintendo's track record of tweaking - wouldn't be too surprised to see a revised model with improved battery life within a year or so.
I'm probably going to get one of these, having been mightily impressed when I played Zelda and Resident Evil at a preview event a few weeks ago.
The launch titles are very uninspiring, however... I think I'll wait for now.
Decent review. Just one minor nit-pick...
" It's no AMOLED display like on the Samsung Galaxy S or iPhone 4 Retina display"
...iPhone 4 uses IPS-derived LCD technology, rather than AMOLED.
Re-read, there's an "or" in that sentence, there is no implication that the iPhone uses AMOLED.
Personally for me, I feel the device is kind of ugly. It's very boxy looking, it doesn't strike me as being sleek and stylish.
As PoinsonJam and Tim Sutton said, I was referring to the launch price.
Don't worry, I'm well aware of that, since I'm a screen technlology fan and review monitors :) The AMOLED part was just referring to the Samsung, but it was easy to read amiss so I've altered it for clarification. Thanks!
@Tim Sutton:
Excellent comparison there :)
In fact, some almost look like Xbox 360 titles played on a standard definition telly, and the 3D effect really helps to disguise any 'rough edges'. I'd say graphically the 3DS has little to worry about for now, and the experience offered is far superior to playing games on a smartphone.
But I do agree with your overall point. For better or for worse, the 3DS physically looks and feels like a product that could have come out several years ago. However, I'm with KultiVator in guessing/hoping that Nintendo will streamline it and improve the battery life on updated iterations (as with the DS > DS Lite).
Indeed, Resi looked fantastic :)
Waiting never hurts, so probably a good call.
I highly recommend you try before you buy, not just for the 3D effect but the upscaling of your DS library. It's not the prettiest.
@ Michael G
"Personally for me, I feel the device is kind of ugly. It's very boxy looking, it doesn't strike me as being sleek and stylish."
I know design aesthetics are subjective and all but I still don''t understand the positive reviews for the whole DS line, in that respect. Their dull, boxy, plasticky appearance, make them look like 90s Chinese knock-offs of themselves - something Stuart Ashen would end up reviewing. You think of mobile devices roughly in a similar size - iPods, larger smartphones, smaller tablets - and on the whole, they show how badly dated the DSs are. Sure, Nintendo's target market's always been younger but iPods, with their glass, chrome and curves, haven't looked similarly toylike in a long time - and kids and teens don't exactly reject those. And I'm not knocking the actual utility of the stylus but it doesn't exactly have contemporary connotations, does it? But hey, that's looks. I'm as keen to see how the stereoscopy looks as anybody. I'm a lot more enthusiastic about 3D gaming than 3D cinema and television.
i picked up a black 3ds today - one gripe i found a little frustrating was the nintendo ds emulation. it seems to be built on the ds lite software rather than the dsi software, so the wifi support excludes wifi networks with any security higher than WEP.
@ilovethemonkeyhead - The newer software update allows WPA2 PSK etc, you just need to turn off security on wireless (or turn it down to WEP), get the update, turn it back up and it works. Just had to do it on my housemate's 3DS.
sounds distinctly sub par to me, even a step backwords in some areas - just think how this console will be seen towards the end of its approx 6 year lifespan
played a whole day with it - i noticed it didn't have the last gen ds's microphone port, and that my earphones with built in a microphone worked just fine in the sounds app. that's very very useful, in my opinion. also, there's an infrared port, the likes of which i haven't seen since the gameboy days. i think nintendo shot themselves in the foot by not releasing 3dsware at launch (like they did with dsiware). i feel there's so much more the 3ds can do out of the box if an online service was there from the get go. either way, i'm playing super mario 64 ds the way it should have been played :)
QFT NGP FTW LOL! (oxford dictionary approves)
"the most powerful dedicated portable gaming machine around."
Are you sure about this? The PSP came out over 6 yeas ago and I'm certain that the "3DS' sub-300MHz ARM11 CPU and 133MHz, single-core GPU" compares slightly below the 333Mhz MIPS CPU and 133 MHz GPU with dedicated RAM. And from looking at the video of the 3DS, you can see that it far behind the aging PSP. Well atleast they will be able to sell it at half the price of the NGP.
Would have got one of these if Mario or even just Mario Kart had come out as a release title, it's a shame that neither have really. Remember getting my DS on release day, loved it to pieces, American Sk8land was possibly the best Tony Hawk's game ever, and Mario 64 brought back so many memories..
@Goldenguy. Talking of Ashens, Here's his (entertaining as ever) review http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Now the huge price-drop has happened, I wonder how many people have reconsidered buying the 3DS. Besides the gimmicky 3D, lack of real advancement from the DS and price, I can;t bring myself to buy a console with few to no new games.
You know a console is in trouble when the main game that's shifting it is a re-release of a 13 year old game

Labour was today celebrating victory in the Corby by-election held after Conservative Louise Mensch stood down.
Before the result had been officially announced, senior Labour sources were hailing it as a "historic" win.
Labour seized the Corby constituency from the Conservatives by a margin of almost 8,000 votes in a result which will give a major boost to leader Ed Miliband.
It marks the first time in 15 years that Labour has won a House of Commons seat from the Tories in a by-election, and victorious candidate Andy Sawford suggested it had set the party on track for a successful general election in 2015, declaring: "The road to Downing Street runs through Corby."
Separately, polls across the country — to elect police commissioners — were marred by what was believed to be the lowest ever turnout for national elections.
No voters at all turned up at one polling station in Newport, South Wales.
Electoral experts blamed the fiasco on a "comedy of errors" including holding the elections in November.
It raised serious questions over the strength of the democratic mandate gained by the winning candidates.
As the Tories braced themselves for grim news from Corby, chick-lit author Ms Mensch, who quit to join her family in America, last night sought to take the blame for the defeat of their candidate Christine Emmett.
"Election result will not be a verdict on either Christine or the Conservatives, but only on the decision I took to step down mid-term," she tweeted. Turnout in Corby was about 45 per cent.
The Labour party piled resources into the constituency in an attempt to grab a big win and give Ed Miliband fresh momentum. A party source said: "We are getting increasingly confident that this will be a historic win with a majority into the thousands."
Ms Mensch won the seat from Labour in 2010 with a majority of 1,951. Labour claimed the victory today showed it could win in Middle England seats vital to return them to power at the 2015 election. But Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said the result "doesn't mean we can't win the next election".
In bleak news for Nick Clegg, Ukip was expected to have beaten the Liberal Democrats into third place.
Lib-Dem party president Tim Farron said Corby was a marginal seat by-election in mid-term: "We were going to get squeezed."
But Labour vice-chairman Michael Dugher said: "When governments lose by-elections, they should listen to the public."
Labour held onto two other safe seats: Stephen Doughty won in Cardiff South and Penarth with 9,193 votes, and Lucy Powell won in Manchester Central with 11,507 votes.
In Manchester Central, the swing away from the Lib-Dems was 16.77 per cent. Tory candidate Matthew Sephton lost his deposit, getting 754 votes, less than five per cent of the turnout.
The Manchester Central result was overshadowed by a turnout of 18.16 per cent, the lowest in a parliamentary by-election since the Second World War.
Angus Macpherson, a Conservative, became the first police and crime commissioner outside London after taking the post in Wiltshire, in an election with a turnout of about 15 per cent.

The poorly kept secret that is the Google Nexus 7 tablet was just announced amid much developer applause and excitement. The device is everything it was rumored to be and the specs — something that only developers care about, of course — were impressive, including the 12 core GPU that will make the Nexus 7 a gaming haven. True, it's just another in a long line of tablets, albeit a $199 one that competes directly with Amazon's Kindle Fire and undercuts the secondary market for the iPad.
But as a competitor to the iPad, Nexus 7 isn't worth the digital ink I'm consuming right now.
But Google isn't just selling a device. Instead, the company wants to create a content platform strategy that ties together all of its ragtag content and app experiences into a single customer relationship. Because the power of the platform is the only power that will matter (see my recent post for more information on platform power). It's unfortunate that consumers barely know what Google Play is because it was originally called Android Market, but the shift to the Google Play name a few months back and the debut of a device that is, according to its designers, "made for Google Play," show that Google understands what will matter in the future. Not connections, not devices. But experiences. The newly announced Nexus 7, as a device, is from its inception subservient to the experiences — some of them truly awesome — that Google's Play platform can provide through it.

In a surprising move, HP and Cisco announced that HP will be reselling a custom-developed Cisco Nexus switch, the "Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for HP," commonly called a FEX in Cisco speak. What is surprising about this is that the FEX is a key component of Cisco's Nexus switch technology as well as an integral component of Cisco's UCS server product, the introduction of which has pitted the two companies in direct and bitter competition in the heart of HP's previously sacrosanct server segment. Combined with HP's increasing focus on networking, the companies have not been the best of buds for the past couple of years. Accordingly, this announcement really makes us sit up and take notice.
So what drove this seeming rapprochement? The coined word "coopetition" lacks the flavor of the German "Realpolitik," but the essence is the same – both sides profit from accommodating a real demand from customers for Cisco network technology in HP BladeSystem servers. And like the best of deals, both sides walk away thinking that they got the best of the other. HP answers the demands of what is probably a sizable fraction of their customer base for better interoperability with Cisco Nexus-based networks, and in doing so expects to head off customer defections to Cisco UCS servers. Cisco gets both money (the B22 starts at around $10,000 per module and most HP BladeSystem customers who use it will probably buy at least two per enclosure, so making a rough guess at OEM pricing, Cisco is going to make as much as $8,000 to $10,000 per chassis from HP BladeSystems that use the B22) from the sale of the Cisco-branded modules as well as exposure of Cisco technology to HP customers, with the hope that they will consider UCS for future requirements.
Posted by Richard Fichera on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on July 13, 2011
Not to be left out of the announcement fever that has gripped vendors recently, Cisco today announced several updates to their UCS product line aimed at easing potential system bottlenecks by improving the whole I/O chain between the network and the servers, and improving management, including:

Ammon graduated magna cum laude from Arizona State University with a B.A. in History and a B.A. in German in 2003. He took a year off from school to increase his computer hardware and programming skills at a local K-12 charter school. The combination of technology and teaching increased his already nascent desires to merge the fields of technology and history. After finding George Mason University's Center for History and New Media via a Google search for "analytical history", he knew that GMU was the place to seek his advanced degrees. In 2007, Ammon received an M.A. in History. He is currently working on a PhD in History at GMU. His dissertation will put together the history of Nazi's underground dispersal projects (nazitunnels.org). Ammon's interests include religion, aviation and society in modern Germany, using the World Wide Web and other computer technologies to present, teach, and learn history, and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning History. Ultimately, Ammon would like to teach at the university level while being involved with a group such as the Center for History and New Media as a Digital Historian. He has worked at the Center for History and New Media since January 2006, first as a GRA, and now as Associate Director of Technology.

functional programming
Hi All
As a long time C++ programmer I am terrible at functional programming.
I recently replied to a post on here concerning diophantine equations
and provided the following code:
dioph[x_, k_] := (5 x)^2 - 2^k*3*(5 + k)^2 - 131*k - 7
If[dioph[x, k] == 0, Sow[{x, k}];];
, {x, 0, 1000}
, {k, 0, 1000}
Someone else came up with a more efficient way of doing this and it was
a nice solution. However my question is this - How could I have
rewritten my orginal code using Functional programming? Nothing fancy
- just a literal translation using the ideas of functional programming.
I tried
dioph[x_, k_] := If[(5 x)^2 - 2^k*3*(5 + k)^2 - 131*k - 7 == 0, {x,
Table[dioph[x, k], {x, 0, 10}, {k, 0, 10}];
which is similar to something that was posted on here a while back but
I hit the same problem they did - The If statement returns Null when
the statement is false so you end up with large lists of Nulls. Not
good if I want to look at large ranges of numbers.
Any advice would be welcomed

Has anyone watched HBO's Game Change, detailing the Sarah Palin vice presidential run? Since it first premiered on Saturday night: it's the highest rated HBO movie of all time. And Julianne Moore's performance is getting rave reviews. The movie is based on the book of the same title by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, which was based on interviews with participants in all the campaigns (the book deals with a lot more subject matter than just Sarah Palin's run). Watching the movie reminded me of all the hot screaming debates on Livejournal at the time and pretty much (surprise surprise) vindicates a lot of the concerns with Palin's just in way over her head, stubborn and vindictive, and functionally illiterate on policies and even basic high school knowledge (i.e. Palin thought the Queen of England was the head of state for Great Britain). The movie included new material that wasn't in the book, including the fact that Palin's senior advisor Nicole Wallace, ended up not voting in the election because she was so disturbed at Palin being so close to the Presidency. I'm curious if anyone else had some thoughts about the movie, or read the book the movie was based on? Behind the cut is a embedded copy of the post Katie Couric interview, where Palin confronts Ms. Wallace, blaming her.

A dangerous game
I'm really not sure whether this man is the biggest troll ever or whether he is being perfectly serious.
"Most men are provoked into domestic violence."
Immortal – not to mention totally unexpected – words uttered by Dr Josie Muscat.
If any man had said this to me in the course of a private social setting, my reaction would have been immediate; this one's just trying to get an easy rise out of me. Let's not give him the satisfaction.
Because really, in this supposedly enlightened day and age it's impossible that a mature man genuinely believes that he can get away with such a statement without having his judgement questioned. Even if he does follow his words with a weak "it cannot be excused".
So yes, in a hypotethical social setting, I'd have smiled and walked away, drink in hand and rolling my eyes at the very obvious attention-seeking attempt.
However, Dr Muscat did not utter these words in a private social setting. He came out with the shocker while speaking at a forum about gender violence. Ah, sweet irony.
I'm really not keen on the uber-feminist, male bashing brigade but this time round it really needs to be said. Some men had better think twice or even three times before expounding redundant theories in public.
Here is some news: violence usually does happen when someone is provoked, irrespective of gender or circumstances. Few people will resort to violence without some sort of provocation; these are called psychos and/or sadists and luckily there aren't many of them around.
The idea, of course, is that as civilised beings we do not yield to the provocation.
I'm provoked by morons blocking the fast lane on my way to the office every single morning.
Patience is not my strong suit, so I'm also provoked by slow people who seem to take 30 minutes to grasp a simple point pretty regularly.
I'm extremely provoked by people who are nasty to animals – it's a massive Achilles heel for me and the provocation in the face of any sort of nastiness to animals is very high.
There are a hundred other things that provoke my anger on a regular basis. Despite these myriad temptations I have never actually punched anyone. I'm sure I am the cause of some major provocations in other people myself – no-one is perfect. Happily, no-one has as yet put Dr Muscat's justifications in practice on me.
My point? Dr Muscat's statement is dangerous. Whether he means it seriously or not. Even he follows it up with a self-righteous "but I'm not saying it's okay to do this", fact remains that finding a justification for violence is always dangerous.
We already suffer too much from a very macho Latin mentality. Let's not encourage it any further.

The so-called Pacific Solution is beginning to have aspects of "the final solution" about it. If the Australian Government's treatment of the remaining detainees on Nauru is up to scratch, why can't there be full media access to the island so that all sides of the story can be heard? How many elections does the Government want these people to win for it?
Howard Packer, Balmain, January 7.
I am deeply saddened to read of the plight of hunger strikers on Nauru who are seeking a new and free life in Australia ("Allow medical team to visit Nauru, urges Amnesty", Herald, January 8). My parents came to Australia from China during the White Australia Policy days. They came by ship, which wasn't intercepted, to a port that wasn't excised from the migration zone. They left a country torn apart by war. They feared religious persecution because they were Christians.
I'm told that Australians at that time were scared of the "Asian hordes". Most of us aren't any more. My family of origin has been given a fair go in Australia and we are very thankful for it. My wife has Scottish, German and Huguenot heritage. Our mixed-race children look like the Hazara people we see on TV.
As an ordinary newer Australian, I ask for compassion from the Australian Government for all asylum seekers being detained on our soil and in Nauru. Send an independent medical team to Nauru, allow the media access, make provision for redetermining refugee status. Or are we all better off if we go to New Zealand?
Jonathan Lin, Lane Cove, January 8.
Thank you, Mr Clodumar, Finance Minister for Nauru, for speaking up on behalf of your country and the asylum seekers on Nauru. It was heartening to see some press coverage of the situation and encouraging to note that you have some respect and concern for those who are desperate and suffering.
The attitude of the Australian Government is an embarrassment to fair-minded Australians, who see the Pacific Solution as a denial of Australia's responsibility. Please continue to bring media attention to the plight of the asylum seekers and Australia's immoral and unethical attitude.
Dorothy Babb, Hornsby, January 7.
I recently saw a report stating that nearly 1 million Australians are living or holidaying abroad at any time. So if it is OK for 1 million Australians to go jaunting around the world looking for better lifestyles, surely there is room for five or so busloads of desperate "tourists" from Afghanistan and Iran/Iraq to stay here while it is determined if they are refugees or not?
What a bloody selfish country this has become: we can go anywhere and do anything but God forbid a few uninvited guests should drop in. Lock them up and throw away the key.
Ron Co, Moonta (SA), January 7.
Almost daily, we hear conflicting reports about the situation on Nauru but I am tired of television showing only old file shots taken years ago. A New Zealand journalist gave us a glimpse (ABC, The 7.30 Report, January 7) of the shameful situation. When will the Australian media get in and show us the real situation?
Besides the plight of those behind the wire, our cherished freedom of speech and democracy are disappearing.
Grahame Wilson, Lane Cove, January 7.
And we thought we were in trouble when Philip Ruddock was immigration minister. Thank whoever that Nauru doesn't have weapons of mass destruction.
Belinda Bryan, Goulburn, January 7.
If the United States can grant citizenship to 12 million illegal immigrants why can't Australia do the same for 500?
Allan Thomas, Lochinvar, January 7.
I believe Amanda Vanstone and her fellow politicians would treat us all like refugees if they could get away with it.
Ron Brown, Wallsend, January 8.
It is encouraging to see public recognition ("Jakarta on a fault line of conflict", Herald, January 7) of the urgent need for Australia to take a stand on the plight of the West Papuans. The abandonment of these hapless people to annexation by Indonesia, with marginal protests from the United Nations and the West, was a disgrace.
Professor King is right in urging the Australian Government to take the lead in ensuring the West Papuans survive.
Dr V. Sanderson, Cremorne, January 7.
Peter King's disturbing review of West Papua's recent history should be required reading for Alexander Downer and Kevin Rudd.
While Mr Downer is always keen to talk about the Solomons, PNG or Bougainville, he's silent on the appalling atrocities in West Papua. Similarly, Kevin Rudd never misses an opportunity to get on television to spruik about any foreign affairs issue except West Papua.
For 20 years Labor and Liberal did nothing to help the people of East Timor as their lives were shattered by the Indonesian military.
We are now seeing a sickening replay of history in West Papua.
Mark Robinson, Glebe, January 7.
Tolerance of homosexuality does not automatically lead to acceptance of gay marriage, Messrs van Onselen and Errington ("'I do' comes down to a couple's commitment", Herald, January 8).
The argument for equal legal rights has been won, but marriage is more than a legal entity. It is also a social institution, and a fundamentally heterosexual one at that.
A gay couple, by definition, can't enter a heterosexual institution. To call that discrimination is absurd, like a man complaining that he is excluded from competing in women's sporting events.
Michael Walker, Brighton-le-Sands, January 8.
Comparing the long-term, faithful, loving lives of many "same-sex" couples and the recent behaviour of Britney Spears, a young hetrosexual singer/actress, which would you say most respected the spirit of the married relationship?
Merrill Pye, Pyrmont, January 8.
Theories, theories. Here in the heart of beautiful Newcastle, with a garden almost full of natives, I cut down a large thicket of lantana and lost our resident whip birds, sparrows, wrens, thorn birds and visiting silver eyes.
Gangs of "rats with wings" do dominate many suburbs, but squadrons of promiscuous and vicious noisy miners seek to rule the sky in our neck of the woods.
Fantails, spinebills and pardalotes have all but disappeared under the onslaught.
The big boys - kookaburras, maggies, butcher birds, rosellas - seem to thrive. Are they part of the problem?
Mick Rabbitt, Merewether, January 8.
Elizabeth Farrelly ("Scene Stealer", Herald, January 6) is right to assert that I lobbied hard in the early 1990s for a new drama theatre for Sydney. But she is wrong to claim the theatre was originally purpose-designed for musicals.
From the moment I broached it publicly in October 1991, the new theatre was to be "a purpose-built playhouse of 850 to 1000 seats, suitable for spoken word drama, equipped with all the technical facets, like wing space and a fly tower" lacking at the Opera House Drama Theatre.
It was to be the STC's new main house for productions from Williamson to Shakespeare and, yes, music theatre. But it was never conceived as a musical house.
I eventually favoured the 1000-seat option because it would attract more users, including commercial producers, and because those extra 150 seats could be welcome in the future.
Its use by other organisations such as Sydney Dance and Sydney Festival was always part of the proposal.
Indeed, I believed the NSW Government would not have backed the project for the STC's exclusive use. The scheme addressed not only the STC's artistic and financial future, but also offered a partial solution to Sydney's chronic venue shortage.
Third, the scheme allowed the STC to maintain control of the Wharf and the new building (including its bars and restaurants), so that the company could determine its own financial destiny on all levels (except Government funding).
This is the truly revolutionary aspect of the new theatre and one which your article did not mention.
Wayne Harrison, Redfern, January 6.
Your article on aviation security ("Attention, passengers: queuing for the loo is forbidden for 14 hours", Herald, January 7) implies that the air marshal agreement with the United States is being left up in the air while I take my annual holiday. This is misleading. Officials from the Attorney-General's Department and the Australian Federal Police are negotiating with the US to finalise an agreement, a fact which was unfortunately cut from your final story.
I expect an agreement with the US will be resolved within the next few weeks and this agreement is not dependent on my holiday arrangements.
Senator Chris Ellison, Minister for Justice and Customs, Canberra, January 7.
It's my belief that the City of Sydney, not the NSW taxpayer, pays for the new year fireworks. So, Kaye Price of Bathurst, (Letters, January 8) we don't get to see the city fireworks over here, either.
But we do have the wonderful view from the TV.
M. Allan, Brookvale, January 8.
Bob Carr may not drive or like sport but anyone who has as favourite movies American Beauty and Pulp Fiction ("Stuff that inspires Bob Carr", Herald, January 8) is a cool guy.
Tony Nicod, Yamba, January 8.
Let's hope Steve Waugh is more familiar with Indian cuisine than the Federal Tourism Minister, Joe Hockey. Re-announcing Waugh as Australia's tourism ambassador to India, Mr Hockey said he wouldn't be asking Indians to throw a prawn on the barbie, but perhaps to "throw a dahl". Stick to the prawn, Joe. The only thing you'll get from tossing dahl on a barbie is a lot of hot air and spit. But then, I guess you're used to it.
Paul van Reyk, Petersham, January 7.
Now, don't get me wrong, I would never suggest that the US or NASA would ever tell us anything that wasn't fair dinkum ("Red rover paddles in the mud with feet of clay", Herald, January 8). But after years of drought and a month of 38 degrees and dry westerly winds, those photos look a lot like my top paddock and the hill in the background looks like Duri Peak.
Davo says he found a funny lookin' wheel there just after Christmas - thought it mighta fallen off a plane. I think I'll saddle up and camp out there next weekend and have a bit of a Captain Cook meself.

Sorry, Gregory Hywood ("That drawl is nothing to be ashamed of", Herald, January 8), but adopting a "standard" form of English isn't so much a matter of fitting in, but a way of avoiding being lumped in with those who pour off the plane at Heathrow, then pour into a Strayan-themed pub to begin their two years living in an antipodean household before heading home to say they've "done Europe".
Many times I've given directions to these great ambassadors of Strine while hiding my accent, lest they think I am one of them and begin the ritual of "Maaaate, whereaboutsyoufrom-eh?"

If you provide the correct environment for Christmas beetles they will come. One reason we are trying to preserve our natural environment here on the Central Coast is so that our children can experience a typical Aussie Christmas - complete with thousands of cicadas - for generations to come.

I have loved Bruce Elder's series on Sydney's most intriguing beaches and particularly enjoyed his description of the "strangeness" and "mystery" of Wanda Beach (Summer Metropolitan, January 7.) As a frequent summer visitor to the southern end of Wanda, however, I think its greatest mystery is how people can walk away from the litter they leave there. What's even stranger is that they are never caught, cautioned or fined for it.

We can't queue for the toilets on Qantas flights, but we need to move around for health reasons. Let's avoid those nasty scrums when the toilet doors open and instigate the "toilet conga line".
All passengers who need to use the toilet will join the jolly clockwise procession around the aircraft. It would be dangerous to have the toilet doors open randomly, so we will need some music. If the music stops as you are approaching the toilet, you go in. On the hour, just for light relief, we change the direction of the conga line. Perfect!
Ruth Cox, Lane Cove, January 7.
Will passengers be issued with a card showing what time their turn in the toilet is? What if a few passengers get "caught short" at the same time? How can we stake our claim to be next in line?
If the concern is about passengers congregating conspiringly, will the airlines reconfigure the cabins so that each passenger is seated at least two metres apart so there is no chance for discussion?
But what about those airlines offering in-seat telephones, email and SMS services? This paranoia has to stop.
James Huey, Lindfield, January 7.
America's latest effort in its "war on common sense" is to ban people queuing for the bathrooms at 35,000 feet. How will this be policed? What about passengers with kidney problems? What about older people?
This new directive will only create tension on board, put crews under more pressure and generate bad feeling. The US is continuing to alienate itself from the rest of the world by abandoning common sense under the banner of "security".
Sam McNally, Glebe, January 7.
I'm an adult and I will not be told whether I may or may not queue for a toilet. If somebody thinks it's worth turning a 747 around because of this it says more about them than about me. I'm a law-abiding citizen but somewhere you have to draw the line. If this ain't it, I don't know what is.
Mike Goodwin, Bondi Junction, January 7.
Once it was only in the supermarkets. Now our international flights will be punctuated by loudspeaker announcements: "Mop and bucket to aisle two, please."
Kent Blackmore, Hornsby, January 8.
The problems of toilet queuing on trans-Pacific flights could be solved if they removed all the seats and replaced them with toilets.

Koch & Exxon-funded Willie Soon Challenged by Students at Climate Denial Event [1]
Connor Gibson [2] | April 9, 2013
By Connor Gibson [2] • Tuesday, April 9, 2013 - 20:52
Crossposted from PolluterWatch [3].
Rarely do we meet those who have made careers selling us lies. Consider the oddball doctors who took tobacco money to deny a link between cigarette smoking and cancer, or the handful of scientists who take oil and coal money to discredit global warming science, or the people [4] who have done both [5].
Last week, students in Wisconsin and Michigan stepped up to such an opportunity when CFACT Campus, the student arm of a well-known cabal of fossil fuel apologists, hosted climate change denier Willie Soon [6] at several campus events around the country.
Dr. Willie Soon is a Smithsonian Institution [7] astrophysicist paid [8] by Charles Koch, ExxonMobil, the American Petroleum Institute and coal utility Southern Company to write papers dismissing climate change, publish op-eds saying coal pollution won't affect our health, refute the seriousness of ocean acidification, and apparently anything else he can be paid to deny. Dr. Soon has misrepresented himself by repeatedly claiming affiliation with Harvard University and using his credentials as an astrophysicist to make people believe he's a climate expert, and he shows no sign of stopping. Indeed, he told students in Madison, "I am as as qualified as anyone on the planet on this topic [9]."
In both Madison, Wisconsin and East Lansing, Michigan, Dr. Soon was caught with his pants down. As the Michigan State News [10] documented in its article and accompanying audio interview [11], Soon claims that all the scientists around the world who study and recognize the seriousness of climate change are motivated by money, yet somehow his funding from coal and oil companies for his extremely marginalized [12] viewpoints doesn't matter.
Here is the dialog with Willie Soon at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, with direct links to key clips below:
1) Willie Soon insinuates ExxonMobil will no longer fund him (emphasis added):
"I have been receiving money from whoever that wants to give me money. I write my scientific proposal. I have received money from ExxonMobil, but ExxonMobil will no longer give me any money for a long time. American Petroleum Institute, anything you wish for, from Southern Company, from all these companies. I write proposal and let them judge whether they will fund me or not, always for a very small amount. If they choose to fund me, I'm happy to receive it." Click to watch (starts @ 1:52). [13]
2) Dr. Soon stands behind his attempts to discredit the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change with help from ExxonMobil lobbyists:
"I was trying to bring down IPCC–is that what you imply?! […] Let it be known that I do not like IPCC, because IPCC does not stand for science, it is corrupting science." Click to watch (starts @ 3:32). [14]
After a question referencing emails with ExxonMobil lobbyists [15] to undermine climate research at the United Nations before it even hit publication, Dr. Soon quickly loses his cool over his record of global warming denial, peppering the student with mild insults before owning up to his actions.
3) Dr. Soon thanks anyone who uses petroleum products or electricity from coal for supporting his work:
"I really want to thank her, because she's receiving the electricity used for her house, she's driving cars, she's doing all of these things because you are funding me. It's not an oil or coal company. They are a company that provides a service to humanity–to people who want to use electricity." Click to watch (starts @ 5:14) [16]
Anyone looking at Southern Company [17]'s record of pollution and political interference would be skeptical about its commitment to serve humanity. Soon continues with an aggressive rant claiming that the student isn't qualified to question his fossil fuel payments until she stops driving, using electricity, and wearing nylon.
4) Willie Soon states "I don't like to claim that I am an expert on anything, [18]" despite listing himself as an "expert in mercury and public health" for a discredited Wall Street Journal op-ed [19] dismissing health concerns over mercury pollution from coal plants. Soon invented similar credentials for another opinion piece [20] in the Washington Times, before he swapped back [21] to being a 22-year veteran of "researching the relationship of solar radiation and the Earth's climate," research Dr. Soon did on the dime of oil and coal companies.
Basically, Willie Soon is an expert in whatever problems vested industries will pay him to deny. Michigan State students note how Willie Soon now refutes research indicating adverse impacts from ocean acidification [22], a global crisis that is married to climate change (both problems stem from humans burning fossil fuels and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere).
[12]That's effed up. This man makes a career lying to the public, not to mention our lawmakers, about some of the most serious issues of our time. Climate change is already contributing [23] to the deaths of 400,000 people each year and costing global GDP about $1.2 trillion, according to a report commissioned by multiple nations. 98% of actual climate scientists [24] (a distinction Dr. Willie Soon does not earn) agree that global warming is real and primarily drive by humans burning fossil fuels like coal and oil.
Not only has Dr. Soon lied to us and our lawmakers about the seriousness of global warming–he even lied directly to Congress in 2003 about his sources of funding at a time when he was promoting his study funded by the American Petroleum Institute [25], the $200 million/year oil and gas lobbying group. The Guardian wrote [26] last year:
"In 2003 Soon said at a US senate hearing that he had "not knowingly been hired by, nor employed by, nor received grants from any organisation that had taken advocacy positions with respect to the Kyoto Protocol or the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change."
This is why it's crucial to demand accountability of people like Willie Soon. He is a public relations tool of oil and coal companies, and as a scientist attempting to publish in fields well outside of his expertise, that oil and coal money is crucial to recognize.
Here are some of the best examples of Soon's pseudo-science paid for by Big Oil and King Coal:
- 2003: An American Petroleum Institute-funded study [25] claiming that the earth's global temperature hasn't risen. Three editors of the publishing journal resigned in protest [27] over low scientific standards demonstrated by publishing Soon's work.
- 2005: A paper [28] mis-attributing arctic temperature changes to solar variability, a thoroughly debunked [29] notion that was funded by the American Petroleum Institute [8] (API).
- 2007: A non-peer-reviewed paper [30] refuting concerns over global warming's impact on polar bears, funded by API and the Charles G. Koch Foundation [31].
- 2009: A paper [32] building upon Soon's 2005 research attempting to claim the sun is mostly responsible for temperature changes. This work was funded [8] by API, ExxonMobil and Southern Company.
- 2013: Soon's ongoing "research" funding [8] is now hidden through Donors Trust, a network used by the Kochs and other secretive interests who don't want their financial influence to be traced. Donors Trust [33] is the sole source of almost half of recent budgets for CFACT, which paid for Soon's campus tour [34].
Dr. Soon's work is like a joke, but not the type you'd laugh at. While he cracks these fossil-funded zingers, reputable scientists warn that humanity is running out of time [35] to stop climate change from self-reinforcing to the point that it spirals out of human control. As quoted by the Michigan State News [10], young conservatives on campus had trouble taking Dr. Willie Soon's presentation seriously:
"I'm not a science major, but I think (Soon's presentation) has got valid points, but also other scientists who disagree with him have valid points," Sobecki said. "I'm not crazy enough to think that six billion people don't have an effect on climate in the world we live in."
Science majors attending the MSU event didn't agree that Soon's points were particularly valid. See this account from a MSU Greenpeace student activist on PolluterWatch [22] for more details.
See DeSmogBlog's research database page on Dr. Willie Soon [36] for additional documentation.

Eating a hearty steak makes you feel like a king, much like wearing a crown or banishing the dog to a small island in the South Atlantic. Rule with a silver fork with this Groupon.
$40 for $80 Worth of Classic Chicago Steak-House Food
The dinner menu leads with jumbo crab cakes ($17) and oysters Rockefeller ($17) before offering up classic steaks and chops such as the 14-ounce aged new york strip steak ($38). The spot also serves lunch, providing early diners with hand-carved smoked-brisket sandwiches ($15) and signature double burgers topped with garlic mayo ($17).
Carmichael's Chicago Steak House
Carmichael's Chicago Steak House pushes and pulls at its Chicago identity. The restaurant's menu and décor pay homage to the classic Chicago steak house, an institution as iconic and as dear to the city as the skyscraper, the lakefront, or the rivalry between the North and South Side baseball teams' mustaches. Twenty-four-ounce porterhouses and marbled and aged tenderloin hark back to the city's past as the country's foremost meat producer.
Outside on the patio is another story. Mature trees, potted plants, and the occasional strain of live music push against the urban bustle of the West Loop. Carved out of reclaimed warehouses, this outdoor oasis transports diners from the traffic and road construction that descend on the city in summer. Under a red canopy or against the glow of lamplights, these alfresco meals add an air of tranquility and romance rarely experienced without having to stretch on a yoga mat scribbled with sonnets.

Heat, hope and the homeless at Chelsea Flower Show
By Paul Casciato
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Dying rainforests, the world's best known physicist, tongue twisting Latin names and the saving grace for the hard up homeless of London's east end were all themes at Britain's Chelsea Flower Show.
Recession-inspired gardens were less of a theme, but the lavish glitz of previous years remained muted at the launch pad of the British summer social season, where some 150,000 visitors sip Champagne and rub shoulders with royals and celebrities.
That's not to say that there was anything dour or dire to see on Monday at the show's press day.
Models in body paint, ladies in parasols and babes in bikinis frolicking in the pool all adorned exhibits, while celebrities took in a sneak preview and the Laurent Perrier Crocus garden was only one of a number of places to cadge a glass of bubbly.
Film star Richard E. Grant told Reuters he was looking for ideas to sate his obsession with building an evergreen garden.
"I come every year," the star of "Gosford Park" and "Love Hurts" said as he wandered the show. "I'm a fanatical gardener and there is no other show like it on Earth."
Show gardens, sponsored by businesses but raising awareness for various charities, took pride of place on the Main Avenue, where tastes ranged from the teenage-friendly plunge pool, foxgloves and the outdoor oven of the Children's Society Garden to the elegant stand of birch trees along a path leading to a black timber slatted canopy over a deck for Cancer Research UK.
British television presenter Gaby Roslin said she had come this year to support Cancer UK, and loved visiting the show organized by Britain's Royal Horticultural Society to see all the many ideas she might incorporate into her own garden. Continued...
