Letters to the Editor - Jan. 1

Try a little kindness
Are you pleased with how our government has been handling foreign relations in recent years? Do you ever wonder what people in other countries think about Americans? Did you know that you can make a difference, even if you never leave this country?
How often do you hear a foreign voice on the other end of your telephone line? Maybe it's a customer service rep or one of those unwanted telemarketers. When American companies outsource jobs they set up a satellite office in another country like India or the Philippines, etc. They hire the local people and train them to do a job.
These workers are not responsible for the foreign policies (that allow outsourcing) nor are they responsible for any corporate decisions for doing so. They are just trying to earn a living for themselves and their families like you and me.
No matter how you feel about outsourcing American jobs, these customer service employees and telemarketers are not "the bad guys." They will form opinions about us by how we treat them.
How are your telephone manners? Are you annoyed and rude? Do you hang up on them or worse, use foul language?
I recently came across a phrase that made me stop and think: "If you affect one person, you could be affecting millions." Wow, that spoke volumes to me!
Do you think that the person who e-mailed me that phrase has a clue about the affect it had on me or how many people I might reach. You can have a very powerful affect on others, maybe millions, by your words and your actions. Be kind to all. In one way or another it will come back to you.
So this holiday season, and always, I say; "Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me!"
Lucille Overstreet,
Here's the difference
In response to George Barnett's letter of 29 December ("The definition of lefties"), here's the most basic comparison between lefties and righties I can personally muster:
Lefties believe that the government is responsible for taking care of each individual. Righties believe (as John F. Kennedy declared in his inaugural speech) that we as Americans should be more concerned with what we can do for our country, than the contrary. That, after all, is what built this great nation of ours.
Righties believe in a stronger military to protect our borders, our interests and our democracy. Lefties believe in reducing our military and using the money saved to provide in-state tuition for illegal aliens.
Righties believe that your personal gains should be proportional to your personal output. Lefties believe that those who have sacrificed themselves to their professional endeavors in order to provide for their family should also provide for those who choose not to do the same.
Righties believe that our country was founded on the principles of Christianity and moral conviction (and yes, the Golden Rule). Lefties want to take the Ten Commandments out of all government buildings because they might offend the minority of people who are outraged by an overstated commingling of church and state.
In an era where Muslim extremists have declared jihad against we infidels, maybe we should be more concerned about whether our country will exist in 100 years, and less about where we will be as individuals next year.
God Bless America!
Charlie Latham,
Ignoring Florida voters
I am a registered Democrat and in a few weeks I will be going to the polls and vote to help select the person I feel is the best candidate for my party to be the presidential candidate.
This person must be a strong leader; one who will have to stand up in the world's forums to represent the interests of the people of the United States.
Yet, not one of the Democrat hopefuls has the courage to come to Florida and explain to me and my fellow Democrats why I should vote for them; to demonstrate they have the will and backbone to look after the best interests of our nation.
Instead, they have stood silent while the Democratic National Committee has declared that it is unimportant who the Democrat voters of Florida would like to see head our party's ticket. To me, this shows that their interests are in themselves and that they follow the dictates and the wishes of the failed candidate Howard Dean. Does this mean that after election, they will continue to dance to his puppet strings?
I wonder why I should even bother to go and vote in the primary when the DNC has already decided that my vote is totally irreverent and is not wanted or needed. Just send money!
Bob Nahikian,
Science vs. religion
In the Dec. 27 letter, "Blind faith in evolution," the writer pits the theory of evolution against "the belief that a loving God created the universe." Maybe both theories are true, but only one belongs in a science class.
Part of the problem is the way we use the word "theory." In casual conversation it implies speculation. In science, it's an explanation for something that can be proven or falsified by experimentation and observation. By calling evolution and creationism both "theories," the writer implies they have equal weight in a science class. They don't.
Evolution is science. Creationism is a matter of faith. What next? Are we going to water down the theory of relativity or atomic theory because someone doesn't want to believe the science behind it?
Our kids will be charged with solving a host of problems and competing in a global market. Call or write the state Board of Education (www.fldoe.org/board) and let them know we want them to adopt science standards that give our kids a chance to do just that.
Ken Duffield III,
The comfort of strangers
The morning before Christmas I was on my way to do some last-minute shopping when my car was hit by another car. I was hurt, sobbing and unable to get out of my car until the paramedics got there.
Seconds after the accident two strangers stopped to see if I was OK. Both women asked if there was someone coming for me and both said they would stay with me until help arrived.
One of the ladies asked if I was a praying person, and when I said I was she got in the undamaged side of my car, held my hands and prayed with me; assuring me she would not leave me until someone came to help.
I was much calmer after that and very appreciative for the gift of kindness offered by these two women whom I had never met before but took the time from their busy holiday plans to give comfort to a stranger.
Jean Strating,
Wrong about the pope
I'm not sure why Jim Funk's acrimonious screed about population control was the letter of the week on Dec. 30. Perhaps it was because he managed to stick his thumb in the eye of the Catholic Church by saying, "The pope can't reverse on birth control without putting a major kink in Papal infallibility."
In fact, the pope cannot "reverse on birth control" because no pope has spoken infallibly on the subject. I suggest that Funk educate himself before sending off his next letter.
Eric D. Laywell,

Minors — Overview
Expand your horizons!
Pursuing additional academic fields of study in the form of a minor can benefit students in several ways. Minors provide students with opportunities to discover relationships across disciplines, to develop diverse perspectives, to strengthen appreciation for the acquisition of knowledge in more than one academic field, and to enhance problem-solving abilities. A minor in an academic field outside your major can broaden your skills, and increase your opportunities for employment.
The Department of English and Philosophy offers English minors in four different areas:
In addition, an interdisciplinary minor in Folklore is offered through the Folklore Program:

Hire This Woman: Cartoonist Allison Thomas
In the overwhelmingly male comic book industry, it has been a challenge for some editors and readers to see the ever growing number of talented women currently trying to make a name for themselves. With that in mind, ComicsAlliance offers Hire This Woman, a recurring feature designed for comics readers as well as editors and other professionals, where we shine the spotlight on a female comics pro on the ascendance. Some of these women will be at the very beginning of their careers, while others will be more experienced but not yet "household names."
This time our spotlight falls on Allison Thomas. She does everything on her projects from writing to art to lettering. This manga- and webcomic-inspired cartoonist is currentlyhard at work on a webcomic called Whisper.

Antonio how did the visit to watch Georgia Tech practice go?
"It went really well. I had a great time as did Mike. We even talked about going back on the 17th to take in another practice and possibly staying overnight. The visit opened my eyes to other stuff about Georgia Tech."
What did you get a chance to do?
"First off we sat down with Coach Johnson and he told us what Georgia Tech was all about. Coach then took us over to the academic director's office and we had a chance to see what Georgia Tech is all about from the academic side. We then saw the athletic dorms and had a chance to see the sights of Georgia Tech. Practice was about to start so we went to watch them practice. I really liked how the offense is going to look. I got a chance to sit in on the offensive line meeting and see how they coach the players. It was great."
What is next on your agenda?
"Mike and I are going to Georgia and then Florida the weekend after this up coming one. After that I will go to Miami if I haven't made a commit to a school before it is my time to visit Miami."
Has Georgia Tech moved up in your eyes?
"Yes sir they have at that. I'd say they are even with Florida as my top two. Miami is third on my list. You can say that Georgia Tech and Florida are dead even right now."
Dale's Take:
Antonio and I discussed times to talk about his next two trips and then possibly talking about making a commitment if things go as he expects them to go. Stay tuned for any developing updates on Antonio.

St. Cloud Takes Street Improvement Plan to the Voters [AUDIO]
ST. CLOUD – St. Cloud residents have complained about the city streets for years, but are they willing to increase their own taxes to improve them?
The city of St. Cloud has an $18 million bond referendum on next week's ballot. The money would be used to catch-up on overdue street projects.
Joan Vincent is a member of the city's Transportation Infrastructure Advisory Board. She says the idea of the bond referendum came from the citywide survey conducted earlier this year.
Vincent says there are several projects on the list that could be taken care of over the next four years. The highest on the list would most likely be the Seberger neighborhood.
Vincent says, if it passes, a $135,000 home in St. Cloud would see a tax increase of about $23 a year.

How important to the history of the NFL is Sammy Baugh? He's credited for making the forward pass an integral part of the offensive play in the NFL.
Think about that for a minute. The forward pass!
"Slinging Sammy" Baugh played in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins from 1937 to 1952.
During his rookie season in 1937, Baugh played quarterback, defensive back, and punter. He led the Redskins to the NFL Championship game against the Chicago Bears, where he finished 17 of 33 for 335 yards and three TDs.
His 335 passing yards remained the most ever in a playoff game by any rookie QB in NFL history until Russell Wilson broke the record in 2012. That's 74-years later!
In 1943 he led the league in passing, punting (45.9-yard average) and interceptions (11). One of Baugh's more memorable single performances during the season was when he threw four touchdown passes and intercepted four passes in a 42–20 victory over Detroit.
By the time he retired, Baugh owned 13 NFL records in three player positions: quarterback, punter, and defensive back. He is considered one of the all-time great football players.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963.
What was going on in 1937?
Price of an average car was $760.
Amelia Mary Earhart mysteriously disappeared over the Pacific Ocean during a circumnavigation flight.
A banana split cost $0.12.
While attempting to dock in Lakehurst, New Jersey, the Hindenburg bursts into flames (Google it).
Walt Disney's first animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released.
A loaf of bread cost $0.09.
Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge was completed.

dart bbc 555 build head choice
I just recently purchased a new big M 555 dart short block with scat forged crank, competition forged rods, and 2618 probe dome forged pistons. 4.560 bore with 4.250 stroke. 6.385 in rods. compression height is 1.270 in. dome height .110 and deck thickness is .210. I am just getting some input and suggestions on what heads i should use. It will be going in a street rod on pump gas that will occationally go down the track. I want the best heads that will flow a good amount of air. I will probably just run a single plane intake.
What's the volume in cc's for those piston domes?
And what do you mean by "...deck thickness is .210"???
Regardless of the compression height and the possibility the block has been cut, how far in the hole are the pistons?
Here is the link to ebay where i purchased the short block, it has all the information on the block.
I'm building a similar engine, and am using and would recommend a set of AFR 315's-I would mill them so that you are running 10-10.5:1 Compression, add in a Cam in the 250-255 @ .050, and voila', instant 700 h.p. +-
haha i might sound stupid but i kinda have a 2k spending limit on the heads being as i went big on the block and i dont quite need anymore than 700 hp for the car im building. Ive heard the dart 325 or 245 pro 1's are good just trying to find out what else is out there.
The probe pistons used for a 496 bbc have a 18cc dome, Not sure if they have the same cc for a 555.. Here is a cam that i like at least for the 496-505 bbc http://www.lunatipower.com/Product.a...62&gid=290..im sure this cam will be less aggressive in a 555 comparied to 496.. but still work very well as an aggressive street/strip cam.. and it is a solid roller :thumbup:

Blow for Meade Go Native put down
RACING:Noel Meade was dealt a blow yesterday when Champion Hurdle hope Go Native had to be put down after breaking a leg on the gallops.
His fall at Punchestown when challenging winner Hurricane Fly completed a comeback from an injury sustained in the 2011 Champion Hurdle. "We're all in a state of shock . . . I was stood about 100 yards away from him and . . . heard this almighty crack and he'd . . . broken his leg above the hock," said Meade.
In addition to the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, Go Native was also successful in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle and the Christmas Hurdle.

The Duncan Family, owners of Silver Oak and Twomey Cellars, are pleased to announce the acquisition of Sausal Vineyard and Winery, one of the Alexander Valley's oldest and most admired boutique wineries and vineyard sites.
Sausal Vineyards was acquired by the Demostene family in 1956. They planted additional vineyards and built the winery in 1973, where they crushed their first grapes. Proud of their Italian origins, the vineyard is planted primarily to Zinfandel, as well as other varietals. There are Zinfandel blocks boasting vines that are up to 130 years old.
The Demostene family said they are delighted to sell their property to Silver Oak, and they are confident the Duncan family will be good stewards of the land.
David R. Duncan, President and CEO of Silver Oak and Twomey Cellars is excited by the vineyard acquisition as it will give him and his winemaking team a new vineyard site with unique viticultural conditions. "The Sausal Vineyard site presents us with an excellent opportunity to grow Cabernet Sauvignon with a variety of soils and conditions not previously available to us in the production of our Alexander Valley Cabernet," Duncan said. "We are excited to see what other opportunities it will afford us in the future."
Silver Oak grows fruit in various distinct geographies in both the Alexander Valley and the Napa Valley.
Sally Nicholson of International Wine Associates, Healdsburg, California, initiated this transaction and represented the Demostene family. The terms of the sale are not released.

Local Web Development With OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
With the release of Leopard last Friday, it appears the bulk of my previous tutorials are now taken care of out of the box. mod_rewrite is enabled by default, and a decent (but not robust) installation of PHP 5.2.4 is ready to go – it only needs to be uncommented in the Apache configuration file.
The PHP installation is missing some key extensions, like PostgreSQL support and the GD library to name a few. But the majority of commonly used extensions are ready to go. Marc Liyanage is already on the case and working out the kinks for his own installer including those additions. The only thing missing at this point is MySQL support for Leopard. As of this writing, there is no installer available yet.
The rest of this post assumes you are working from a clean install or an "archive and install" of 10.5. I'm not sure what the Apache configuration files may look like if you simply upgraded from 10.4 or 10.3 – if they are clean this should work just fine.
Open the Apache configuration file (I'm using TextMate, which is where the 'mate' command comes from):
$ mate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
and scroll to line 114 – it should look like this:
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Just remove the comment:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
To enable Virtual Hosts, uncomment line 461:
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
and add your own directories in your
/etc/apache2/users/you.conf file. Similar to the 10.4 configuration, change the first two lines (inside
) like so:
Options All
AllowOverride All
and add your Virtual Host directives after that:
DocumentRoot /Users/yourname/Sites
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /Users/yourname/Sites/devsite
ServerName devsite
Restart Apache:
$ sudo apachectl restart
and you're all set.
The only thing left to do is update your hosts file:
$ mate /etc/hosts
and add whatever you used for your ServerName after the other entries:
127.0.0.1 devsite
Now I need to figure out if those rumors of Ruby on Rails out of the box are true…

[In this post, Green Alpha Senior Vice President Robert Muir discusses the opportunities and risks of investing in renewable energy yieldco's. - GJ]
Given the vigorous investor quest for yield as the Federal Reserve maintains the benchmark Federal Funds rate near zero, and the resurgence of attention being paid to renewable energy generation, mainly solar, and to a lesser extent wind and hydro, it's no wonder Yield Co's have gained so much investor interest lately. In the near to mid-term, the enthusiasm may be justified. Supported by Power Purchase Agreements, energy infrastructure financing and leasing contracts, and electricity transmission and distribution concessions, all with credit-worthy counter-parties, Yield Co's are designed specifically to pay out a large portion of their EBITDA to shareholders in the form of dividends. By virtue of their steady cash flow and above-market yields, these companies tend to be viewed by investors as relatively safe and stable, similar to high-yielding traditional utilities, and their shares tend to trade with low volatility and beta.
Structured as they are to generate and pay out cash flow to investors, these firms are to a large extent valued on both current yields and their anticipated ability to maintain and increase future dividends. Therefore vigorous deal flow and a robust acquisition pipeline are key. I'm most in favor of Yield Co's that are direct spin offs and by contract have Right of First Offer (ROFO) on any projects developed by the parent. The other very important factor I consider is financing. I like to see structured debt financing at attractive rates that is properly engineered into the financial metrics of the acquisition. I tend to avoid Yield Co's that finance development projects and acquisitions with the issuance of new equity.
Green Alpha advisors does hold Yield Co's in some of our portfolios. One I particularly like is Pattern Energy Group (PEGI). PEGI has the ability to expand its MW production capacity, and therefore grow its revenues and cash available for distribution (which is even more key), through a solid pipeline for identified projects from Pattern Development on which it has ROFO, while also being able to consider beneficial third party project acquisitions. It will benefit through 2016 from the Federal Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credit. PEGI currently holds only wind-capacity generation in its portfolio, but management is open to adding solar as well. The company has a stated goal of increasing its cash available for distribution by 10-12% annually and increasing its dividend by 12% annually over next three years.
With a current yield of 4.10%, and an annual dividend of $1.31, PEGI is currently fairly priced at around $32.00. Its forward performance estimates are trending nicely, with estimated full year revenue growth of 25.5% in 2014 and 35% in 2015 and estimated full year EPS growth of 32.8% in 2014 and a whopping 133% for 2015. Both its Price to Book and Price to Cash Flow are estimated to trend lower in 2014 and 2015. Its EV/EBITDA valuation ratio is high, but not relative to its superior EBITDA, and its EV/EBITDA vs. EBITDA ratio is markedly more attractive than many of its competitors in the same space. PEGI seeks to pay out 80% of EBITDA, and if the company performs as estimated it should be able to meet both that benchmark and its dividend growth targets. If the company does meet those growth targets its annual dividend in 2017 will be $1.67. All things being equal, if the yield were to remain at 4.1% that would potentially make for a 2017 price of $40 a share. Inversely, if the price were to stay close to $32.00, the 2017 yield will have ballooned to 5.2%.
While acknowledging many positives, I do see some risk in owning shares in these firms. Firstly, Yield Co's stock valuations, like traditional dividend paying utilities, or any high yield investment instrument for that matter, are often considered bond proxies, and have negative exposure to a rising interest-rate environment. A seven, six, or even five percent yield might seem extremely attractive when the Ten Year U.S. Treasury Note is yielding just 2.52%, but if or when benchmark interest rates return to more historical norms, income investors may not be willing to pay today's prices for shares with those same yields. To offer some context, in 1995 the Fed Funds rate was 5.5%. In the minutes from the most recent Federal Reserve meeting, released on July 9, FOMC members anticipated the fund rate will be at 1% in 2015, 2.5% in 2016, and 3.75% in the longer term. To preserve share prices in a rising interest rate environment, Yield Co's will need to be able to increase their dividends commensurately.
Also, as the number of publicly listed alternative energy Yield Co's has risen, the demand from these firms to secure alternative electricity generation projects has also spiked, leading to less attractive pricing and revenue metrics on third-party, competitive-bid acquisitions.
Another potential risk that Yield Co's face, albeit in the longer term, is the threat to the traditional "Hub and Spoke" electricity generation and distribution model. This is far and away the preferred model of the majority of the holdings in Yield Co portfolios. As the generation and storage technologies that will bring about distributed and eventually autonomous energy production advance, this utility model will become increasingly less economically viable. I know of only one Yield Co at this time, NRG Yield Inc. (NYLD), that has two commercial, distributed-solar facilities in its current portfolio of holdings, and these are just a small portion of the company's total portfolio. This is clearly a longer-term concern and doesn't affect my near-term analysis of the space or of any individual companies. However, it is something I will continue to monitor.
In my view, Yield Co's clearly have a role to play in any diversified equity investment model, particularly one designed to generate dividend income.

Workplace Equality in International Organizations: A Way Forward
Jefferson, Osmat Azzam (2008) Workplace Equality in International Organizations: A Way Forward. ANU. [Working Paper] (Unpublished)
In this contribution, I am interested in how discrimination issues are manifested in employment relations in the United Nations (UN), a public forum to all states political leaders to advance their concerns, the World Bank, a financial organization that promotes economic development, mainly in developing countries, and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), the eldest and largest global public program of the World Bank with a strategic network of diverse stakeholders that harnesses the best in science to produce more and better food, reduce poverty and sustain environments. Considering the immunity and privileges granted to international organizations, what are the current available legal procedures, at the national or international level, for workplace equality? How accountable and transparent are they, based on the practice of these organizations? Can discrimination biases that go beyond the known individual-based discrimination claims be identified? If so, how can they be challenged and changed? Based of the special position of international civil servants in international organizations and the duty to protect their fundamental rights, I claim that the limitation of opportunity by discriminatory biases and the psychic burden on the individual staff member, on daily basis, qualify for a workplace wrong and call for independent and impartial legal procedures that would ensure due process and fair treatment.

The Peanuts cartoon in yesterday's paper featured Lucy expressing the view that "the theology is the same" for dogs as it is for humans. I'm less interested in the dog-related question at the moment as I am in other non-humans. Is theology the same for extraterrestrial sentient beings? For artificially intelligent machines? These are the kinds of topics my students and I have been talking about in my class on religion and science fiction. But apparently not only sci-fi, but also Charles Schultz's famous comic strip, can get at the question of whether human theology is too anthropocentric, and whether, if it is, that is inevitable since there is no way that human beings can experience what it is like to be some other form of life.

Religion is about understanding the divine. But if we step back a bit, what that really means is understanding the difference between ourselves and the divine. If an alien species and alien culture are different from the divine in ways different than we are, then that will be reflected in their religion.
And really, we can observe this already. Compare different cultures and you will find hints of such differences. Perhaps, though, it is clearest when studying history. The past is a foreign country, and one that we can't directly visit.
In your examinations of Abraham and child sacrifice, you've tried to understand an alien (Abraham) from (figuratively) another planet and tried to understand his theology and that of his culture and how that might apply to you and I in our culture.
- Nick Gotts
Religion is about understanding the divine.
That's a very culture-bound idea of what religion is. There are religions (Jainism, some forms of Buddhism) that deny or take no interest in the divine. There are religions that focus on ritual practice (some varieties of Judaism), or on social order (Confucianism), or on a patron-client relationship with a specific deity.
- Jakeithus
A better way to explain it might be to say that rather than religion, theology is about understanding the divine (it pretty much literally means the study of gods, after all). One can do religion without theology, which is the point you are making I believe.
- Nick Gotts
Well, I'd be inclined to say theology is arguing about the properties of figments of the imagination, but yes, you got my main point!

On the LOLcat Bible project, we faced the problem that most modes of human baptism (dunking, pouring, and sprinkling) would be considered highly offensive in cat culture. Clearly cats would baptise by licking.

"…that is inevitable since there is no way that human beings can experience what it is like to be some other form of life."
One fall morning I was out alone in the cool Nevada desert tossing some carrot slices towards a curious group of wild, cotton tail rabbits. While most of the group kept its distance from me, one of the more curious rabbits hopped up within ten feet and I swear I heard in my head, a soft diminutive female voice asking, "Are you a God?" I politely answered, "No," and the rabbit hopped away to join her pack. The animal left me, after I spoke to it. That behavior alone was incomprehensible. If my subconscious mind dreamed up the question posed by the rabbit, then it wanted me to impart the Charles Schultz non-human theology on the critter. But what if the animal did communicate through telepathy? I think I'll steer clear of cattle since I like eating hamburger.
- Nick Gotts
There seems to be an unjustified assumption here that the category "theology" would make sense to aliens: they might have no religion at all, and never have had any – it could be a peculiarity of human beings. In fact, "theology" is a relatively recent category in human culture: while most if not all cultures we know of have had beliefs and practices we would class as religious, they mostly haven't theorised about them at all.
- http://lotharlorraine.wordpress.com/ Lothar Lorraine
Considering the likely existence of very advanced aliens in our universe or in parallel ones should have a deep impact on our theology.
This shows us that God MUST be infinitely greater that the tribal deities of the past, including the one of the ancient Hebrew.
However this is not apriori incompatible with the idea that ancient people had true experiences with God. The real problem is divine hiddeness, why did He not teach us things very early on which would have alleviated a lot of suffering?
Friendly greetings from Europe.

Considering the likely existence of very advanced aliens in our universe or in parallel ones should have a deep impact on our theology.
Why do you consider it likely?
The real problem is divine hiddeness, why did He not teach us things very early on which would have alleviated a lot of suffering?
The answer's obvious: either "He" is not there, or "He" doesn't care about our suffering.
- Robert Fisher
It isn't hiddeness. It is our inability to understand.
What's worse, once we do begin to grasp something, we canonize it and refuse to acknowledge that our understanding is still imperfect. It takes centuries before we manage to move forward again.

If machines speculated about what (if anything) had created them, would that count as theology?
(idea stolen from several SF stories none of which I can identify)
- http://www.patheos.com/blogs/religionprof/ James F. McGrath
Perhaps "Reason" in Asimov's I, Robot is one that you were thinking of?
- David Evans
Yes, that was one. I have dim memories of a story in which an entire civilisation of machines had forgotten its origins, and split into factions over the question. Some held that no animal could be intelligent enough to create them.
Somewhat related is "They're made out of meat", here
- arcseconds
What do you mean by 'Is theology the same for them?'
And is it the same for us? In case you haven't noticed, it's not as though there's exactly a consensus about theology here on Earth amongst humans…
- http://www.patheos.com/blogs/religionprof/ James F. McGrath
Good point! I suppose I meant how different might it be for non-humans, and how much more different might it be for non-biological or non-terrestrial intelligences.
- arcseconds
I'm still not certain what 'it' is. Do you mean 'will they have the same theological ideas as us', or do you mean something more like 'are the right theological ideas for them to have the same as the right theological ideas for us to have?'
I mean, I think we can pretty confidently state that intelligent life on other planets will not have the same theological ideas as, say, you do, because right here on this planet there are plenty of intelligent beings that don't have the same theological ideas as you!
If 'we' means 'humanity', then I'm not sure how to read 'the theology is the same' even if that's to mean 'their theological ideas are the same'. One possibility is that the intelligent beings have all the theological ideas that humans have, so there would be pre-millenial dispensationalist aliens, Vaishnavist aliens, neo-pagan aliens that wortship Odin, etc.
That seems pretty unlikely, doesn't it?
- arcseconds
One way of approaching the question as to what theological
ideas extraterrestrials might have is to look at what theological ideas
humans have that arose more than once more-or-less independently of one another. This doesn't of course show that extraterrestrials would necessarily have these ideas, but it might give us some notion of what concepts are not entirely parochial.
So for example, notions of an afterlife are fairly common (albeit not universal) so we can put that on the list of possibilities. Some kind of monotheism is also possible, and perhaps even somewhat likely (Greek philosophy seemed to have an 'ultimate principle' trope even before Plato, India has brahman, then there's Near East monotheism, all three being largely independent developments, I think).
It's possible that gods (or god) will be seen as having different aspects which are often treated as separate beings, as that happens in several places (Christianity, Hinduism and Celtic mythology to name three).
Materialism is also a possibility, as that arose at least twice prior to the modern period (ancient Greek atomism and the Cārvāka school in India), although I guess this is more metaphysics than theology…
There might be some notion of salvation and sacrifice, as those are multiply attested to, too. And some kind of eschatology.
I would be highly surprised to find a post-millenial dispensationalist theology involving a three-in-one god (one aspect of which became incarnate and was killed), a dualistic opposite number, a rapture, and seas of blood, though.
- http://www.patheos.com/blogs/religionprof/ James F. McGrath
I was speculating what their theology might be like, and indeed whether they would have one. It is imagination, but sometimes thinking about alien theology seems to help people relate better to the diversity of terrestrial thought.
- Chris Eyre
Have you come across "Calculating God" by Robert Sawyer? It centres on this issue.

Tottenham are considering bids for Roma's Miralem Pjanic and CSKA Moscow's Alan Dzagoev according to FOX Sports.
Reports suggest that Andre Villas-Boas will be given considerable financial backing to improve his squad in January. The former Chelsea boss missed out on top transfer target Joao Moutinho when the summer transfer window slammed shut and it is thought that he wants to move quickly to avoid losing another midfield target.
Spurs have struggled in recent weeks, with a 5-2 loss to bitter rivals Arsenal hard to stomach for some fans. It is believed that Daniel Levy will assist Villas-Boas in claiming his targets in an attempt to recover the vain of form that Spurs had in October.
Pjanic, who has been described as "an old fashioned playmaker with huge techincal qualities", had a standout year in Serie A last season and he has continued to impress in this campaign. And at just 22, the Bosnian still has his best years ahead of him.
Meanwhile, Dzagoev garnered the attention of many top European sides in the summer, through his exceptional displays for Russia at the European Championships. Despite also being 22, Dzagoev has a wealth of experience for club and country and his goalscoring record is impressive from midfield.

Curry Rules Bozeman - Takes the title back from Frank
John Curry is the Montana Cyclocross State Champion. Frank Gonzalez had shown good form on Saturday taking the win from Bob Presta at Mulecross. On a twisty State Champs course Curry jumped out in front with Toby Meierbachtol and Bob Presta in tow. The Missoulians liked the course that favored punchier riders. Meierbachtol busted a derailleur and Presta had a mechanical taking both men out of contention. Gonzalez's consistent riding brought him into second but Curry was gone. Presta fought back through the field and finished 3rd. In his best ever MT weekend the MBW rider had a 2nd and 3rd. However the story of the day is once again the Curry/Frank 1-2 at the state. These guys have dominated cross in MT for the last 4 years.
On the ladies side, Lisa Curry and Lindsy Campbell had great starts and controlled the first part of the race. Anna Dingman rode consistently and within her range to slowly bring back Campbell. Great ladies field with Ingrid Lovitt, Megan Lawson, Amy Frykman, and a Fitzgerald's rider all contesting. Lisa Curry is the State Champ for 2011.
Congrats to other state champs; Erik Horn and Chance Cooke

Applies to: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1
Windows To Go is not a late-night drive-through offering at the local Microsoft Store. Rather, it's a feature in the Windows 8 Enterprise operating system that allows you to start a Windows 8 image (a Windows To Go workspace) from an external USB drive. You can start a Windows To Go workspace on most computers that meet the Windows 7 or Windows 8 certification requirements, regardless of the operating system currently running on them.
In this article, we will take a look at how Windows To Go can help you by looking at the life of a typical IT pro named Mark who works for Contoso, Ltd. As with most IT pros, Mark has a challenge (well, maybe more than one). Many of the Contoso employees and contractors have their own devices and want to use them to perform their day-to-day tasks at Contoso.
Contoso management has heard about Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives and wants to take advantage of the willingness of employees and users to use their own devices. Because the users already own the devices, Mark and Contoso management do not want to invest additional funds to provide these users with Contoso-owned devices or deploy a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution. These users need to work while they are at Contoso, at their own office (for the contractors), at home, or at public hot spots. Therefore, Mark needs to provide them with secure desktop environments that they can take with them and use anywhere-at any time in any place.
First on Mark's to-do list is determining the requirements for Windows To Go. Mark discovers that Windows To Go is a feature of Windows 8 Enterprise. He also finds out that Windows To Go has the same basic system resource requirements as Windows 8 or Windows 7. All of the user-owned devices meet those requirements, and Contoso already owns the necessary Windows 8 Enterprise licenses, so he is ready on that front.
One item of interest that Mark discovers during his research is that there are Windows To Go–certified drives, which he reviewed in the section, "Hardware considerations for Windows To Go," in the Windows To Go: Feature Overview. Mark finds out that he can help ensure the success of his Windows To Go deployment project by selecting a certified drive instead of a generic one.
After reading that section, he finds that the drives have different capacities (32 GB to 500 GB). Further, some vendors provide hardware encryption, while others provide centralized management tools. Mark selects a 128‑GB USB 3.0 flash drive that does not have any hardware encryption or centralized management tools. (He will use BitLocker Drive Encryption for encryption and the existing Contoso management tools to manage the Windows To Go workspaces and user experience.)
Mark finds out that he can build Windows To Go workspaces using:
The Windows To Go Creator Wizard is typically used to create only a single Windows To Go drive. Therefore, Mark decides to use the command-line method to create the Windows To Go drives for all users by means of a repeatable process to help ensure consistency and reduce manual effort.
Mark is able to use the scripts on the web pages as samples for creating a complete provisioning solution, and then runs his scripts to create a few Windows To Go drives. He tests the drives in his test environment and determines that his scripts are working correctly, so he uses his scripts to create the remainder of the Windows To Go drives. The first step in Mark's Windows To Go project is simple and painless.
As the next step in Mark's Windows To Go project, he distributes the Windows To Go drives to the Contoso users. He made certain the Windows To Go workspaces were members of the Contoso Active Directory Domain Services domain, because the users will access Contoso resources and require domain authentication. Mark also wants to make certain that he can use the existing Contoso management tools (which require that the devices be domain members) to manage the Windows To Go workspaces.
Mark uses the offline domain join feature in Windows 8 to join the Windows To Go workspaces to the Contoso domain. He learned about this feature by reading the article Offline Domain Join (Djoin.exe) Step-by-Step Guide. The feature allows Mark to join the workspaces to the domain without the devices being connected to the Contoso intranet. For devices on the Contoso intranet, Mark could have used the normal domain join process. But because each user may initially try to use Windows To Go in different environments, he decided that the offline domain join process would provide the best user experience and reduce the number of phone calls he would receive.
To ensure that users have a good experience, Mark decides to help the first batch of users as they start Windows To Go for the first time. Some of these users have Windows 8 devices, while others are still using Windows 7 devices.
The host computers must be configured to start from a USB drive before the device boots from an internal drive. Mark reads the article Tips for configuring your BIOS settings to work with Windows To Go and discovers that on Windows 7 devices, he must change the BIOS to enable starting first from a USB drive. However, for Windows 8 devices, Mark finds he can enable the device to start the Windows To Go workspace automatically without changing the BIOS by using a built-in Windows 8 setting (as shown in the figure below). He can also configure the startup options using the "Windows To Go Default Startup Options" Group Policy setting.
Figure 1. Windows To Go Startup Options
The user inserts the Windows To Go drive into a USB port and starts the host computer, which then starts the Windows To Go workspace from the USB drive. Although Windows To Go performance is good with USB 2.0, users can achieve better performance if they plug the USB drive into an integrated USB 3.0 port (if available) on the device. (Adding on USB 3.0 cards will not work, because they are not automatically enumerated by the device firmware.)
Users already running Windows 8 on their devices notice few differences when they start using Windows To Go. The Windows To Go experience is just like their typical Windows 8 experience. Of course, the Windows 7 users notice the user interface differences with Windows 8 but are able to run their applications and perform their normal job tasks within a short period of time.
One user tells Mark that he is unable to access his files. Mark investigates and determines that the user is trying to access files on an internal drive in his device. Mark does some research and reads the section Differences between Windows To Go and a typical installation of Windows. He finds that by default, the Windows To Go workspace disables access to internal drives in devices—separating personal from work data. He also reads about the other differences, most of which do not affect his users.
The user is able to access his files in a Microsoft SharePoint Online document library synchronized with a local SharePoint workspace on the device's internal drive. Mark makes a note to instruct users to store their data only on network shared folders or SharePoint so that they can be accessed from any location and any device.
While helping the first batch of users, Mark discovers the section Best Practice Recommendations for Windows To Go. He notes these best practice recommendations (such as always shutting down the computer before removing the Windows To Go USB drive or not inserting a Windows To Go USB drive in a running computer) and incorporates them for future batches of users.
Mark gets a phone call from a panicked user: The inevitable has happened! He lost the USB drive containing his Windows To Go workspace. Does Mark also panic? Not at all. He's not worried for two reasons: First, one reason Mark selected the USB drives is because of their relatively low cost, so the financial impact for a lost USB drive versus a lost computer is minimized. Second—and most important—Mark made the decision to encrypt the Windows To Go workspace using BitLocker. He enabled BitLocker as a part of his provisioning scripts, which you can see in the section
To enable BitLocker during provisioning.
Because the Windows To Go workspace can be used on multiple devices, BitLocker for Windows To Go cannot use the Trusted Platform Module. Instead, BitLocker uses a password protector with a minimum default length of eight characters. Users enter a password generated as part of Mark's provision script and provided to them when they receive the Windows To Go USB drive. Without this password, anyone who finds the Windows To Go USB drive will be unable to start from the drive or access any of its files.
Mark runs his provisioning script and generates a new USB drive for the user who lost his device. The user is able to use the new USB drive just like the original drive. After Mark sees how easy it is to replace a lost drive, he realizes that Windows To Go could be a great backup solution for many of his other users. He is thinking continuance of operations here.
Some of the Contoso users work in remote locations and never connect to the Contoso intranet. Some travel frequently and often need to access resources on the Contoso intranet. Most of these users are not technically savvy, and traditional virtual private network (VPN) connectivity might prove challenging for them and frustrating for Mark.
Fortunately, Mark has already deployed the necessary network infrastructure on the Contoso intranet to support the Microsoft DirectAccess feature in Windows 8 Enterprise and Windows Server 2012. Mark was able to easily enable DirectAccess in the Window To Go workspace as a part of his provisioning scripts (see the section Configure Windows To Go workspace for remote access).
Although Mark could have used a VPN solution, DirectAccess provides transparent access to resources on the Contoso intranet. When users log on to the workspace using their Contoso domain credentials, they can access the Contoso resources as if they were directly connected to the Contoso intranet. By choosing the DirectAccess solution, Mark has made life much easier for his users and himself.
Because of his foresight, Mark has provided remote access to his users regardless of where they are or how they connect by using DirectAccess. However, after a few months of using Windows To Go, Mark has found out that users do not have the same user experience as when they are using a Windows 8 computer on the Contoso intranet compared to their Windows To Go workspace.
In some scenarios, users' Windows settings are not the same. In other cases, the device they are using might not have the necessary applications installed. In still other instances, users might not be able to access files that they have saved in their Documents folder on other devices.
The users need consistent access to their applications, documents, and Windows settings, regardless of the device they use. How does Mark solve this problem? Fortunately, he has several methods at his disposal to help ensure that users have a consistent user experience. Table 1 describes the choices Mark made to help solve these problems.
Table 1. Providing Consistent Access to Apps, Documents and Settings
|Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V)
|UE-V helps Mark centrally store application and operating system user experience and roam it across computers running Windows 7 or Windows 8. UE-V works with the physical or virtual devices a user accesses, including desktop computers, portable computers, tablets, VDI sessions, and (of course) Windows To Go workspaces.
UE-V synchronizes Windows and Office settings. Mark can customize the experiences that UE-V synchronizes.
After researching UE-V, Mark decides to deploy it at Contoso to help reduce the effort required to maintain a consistent user experience for the application and operating system settings.
|Folder Redirection
|Folder Redirection is a Windows feature that allows users to store files that reside in the local user profile (under the Users folder) in another location, such as a network shared folder. Mark reads about the
Folder Redirection feature and determines that it's a great complement to UE-V.
With Folder Redirection, when a Contoso user modifies a document on one device, the file will be saved to the redirected folder on a server is if it were on a local drive. When the user moves to another device or location, he or she will be able to access the file on the redirected folder on the same server, providing consistent access to it. Through their DirectAccess connection, users will always have access to the servers on the Contoso intranet, so Mark now has a solution for this problem.
|Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)
|App-V allows applications to be deployed in real time (streamed) to almost any device from an App-V server. App-V eliminates the need for traditional local installation of the applications. The App-V client is installed on client computers, and applications are stored on the App-V server. The virtualized applications are streamed on demand when they are first used or can be preinstalled in a local cache on the device.
App-V allows Mark to deploy applications to user devices on demand and ensure that users always have the applications they need, regardless of the device they use. After reading about App-V and evaluating it in his test environment, Mark decided to use App-V as a part of his solution. Because Mark also has a Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager with Service Pack 1 (SP1) infrastructure, he is able to take advantage of the integration between App-V and System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
Over the course of the past few weeks, Mark has deployed hundreds of Windows To Go workspaces on USB drives. As you found out before, users are employing Windows To Go from a wide variety of locations and connectivity options. How does Mark manage all the Windows To Go workspaces? The answer: just like he manages all his other devices.
Mark uses Group Policy to control device and user configuration settings. Group Policy works with Windows To Go just as with traditional installations of Windows 8 and Windows 7. As you found out earlier, Contoso has a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager with SP1 infrastructure. Just as with Group Policy, Mark is able to use System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to manage the Windows To Go workspaces just as he does with the other Windows 8 and Windows 7 devices. Mark finds more information about using Windows To Go with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager in the topic, How to Provision Windows To Go in Configuration Manager.
And guess what? Remember when Mark deployed UE-V, Folder Redirection, and App-V to help him manage the user experience in Windows To Go workspaces? He has discovered that in addition to helping him provide a consistent user experience in Windows To Go workspaces, that investment has helped him do the same on other Windows 8 and Windows 7 devices.
Mark has found that he can use existing Contoso management solutions to manage all his users and their devices. He also knows that in the future, he can purchase other management tools that will work for Windows 8 and use them to manage his Windows To Go workspaces.
After Windows To Go has been deployed at Contoso for a while, Mark finds that Windows To Go has helped him solve other user scenarios, including the following:
You've seen how Mark has been able to easily solve some complex scenarios by using Windows To Go and yet have manageable solutions. Mark not only solved his original challenges but was able to solve other user scenarios by using Windows To Go.
Now it's your turn to create your own success story. You can download the Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation from the TechNet Evaluation Center and create our own Windows To Go workspace using the Windows To Go Creator Wizard or Windows PowerShell and other command-line tools. Find out more about how Windows To Go can help solve complex solutions in the Windows To Go: Feature Overview.

Baked Scallops with Cheese
Get this recipe on the next page >>
This is a fuss-free recipe for scallops baked with cheese and creamy mayonnaise. I love scallops and I think there is something so beautiful about scallops served in their shells.
See Also:
The creamy sauce is non-cooking (just softened butter and mayonnaise mixed into a smooth paste) and very easy to prepare. This appetizer dish is low on effort, high on taste and the result looked very gourmet.

Yes you can. Check out my baked scallops without shells recipe at http://www.noobcook.com/15-minute-baked-scallops/ :)

Lightning kills two people in two days
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. (AP) — For the second day in a row, lightning has been blamed in the death of a visitor at Rocky Mountain National Park.
Park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson says officials were notified late Saturday afternoon of four people being struck by lightning near Trail Ridge Road. The four were rushed to a hospital, but Gregory Cardwell, 52, of Scottsbluff, Neb., died of his injures.
On Friday afternoon, park officials said lightning killed one woman and injured seven other people. That also occurred near Trail Ridge, which is the nation's highest continuously paved road.
Patterson says they are the park's first lightning fatalities since 2000.
A park news release identified the woman who died Friday as Rebecca R. Teilhet, 42, of Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Services > Building or Renovating? > Building Act 2011
The new Building Act 2011 and supporting Regulations replace Parts viii, ix and xv of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1960.
The Building Act 2011 will come into operation on 2 April 2012.
If you're considering:
It's important to consult the permit authority (ie. Town of Cambridge) to ensure you obtain correct advice about the plans and processes you need to follow prior to lodging a permit application.
Building permits will now fall into two categories:
Category 1 - Certified Applications - must be accompanied by a Certificate of Design Compliance, certified by a registered building surveyor (either in private practice or local government). The Certificate of Design Compliance must be completed prior to the lodgement of a certified permit application.
Category 2 - Uncertified Building Application (Class 1a - single residential housing and Classes 10a and 10b - non-habitable buildings, fences, retaining or free-standing walls, swimming pools, private garages and sheds). For this category the permit authority (Town of Cambridge) will arrange for a registered building surveyor to sign a certificate of design compliance.
A demolition permit is required for any demolition work, either a full building or part of a building.
A Building Approval Certificate is issued when an occupancy permit is not applicable for class 1 and 10 buildings or incidental structures. It provides certainty that a building or incidental structure meets the relevant requirements. A Building Approval Certificate can also be used to retrospectively approve unauthorised work, and for registration of strata title plans.
It 's important to note that only Building Commission permit application forms can be used.
Building Commission permit application forms and guides can be downloaded from the Building Commission website at www.buildingcommission.wa.gov.au.
If you're considering becoming an owner-builder approval must be obtained through the newly established Building Services Board before you can apply for a building permit from a local government (permit authority).
You will be allowed to take out a building permit once every six years.
The restriction from selling as an owner-builder within three years no longer applies under the new Building Act 2011.
A new requirement under the Building Act 2011 (for all classes of building) is that the builder must submit a Notice of Completion within 7 days of finishing the work listed under a Permit.
The purpose of this Notice of Completion is to establish an end date for the Building Permit, for compliance and record keeping purposes. It also defines the date that the builder has fulfilled his compliance obligations under the Building Act 2011.
For further information including applicable fees for building/demolition permits and building approval certificates refer to the Building Commission's website www.buildingcommission.wa.gov.au

Rushdie furor risks clouding India's literary gala
By Henry Foy
MUMBAI (Reuters) - An outcry over Salman Rushdie's participation in Asia's largest literary festival has threatened to overshadow an event to showcase the best of Indian, South Asian and international writing that is rapidly growing in global cultural clout.
Oprah Winfrey, Michael Ondaatje and Tom Stoppard will share the stage with local-dialect authors and ancient-language poets at the 7th Jaipur Literature Festival, as organizers broaden the annual event's focus to economics, religion and geopolitics.
Rushdie, famed for his Booker Prize-winning Midnight's Children, has sparked protests from some Muslim leaders who have demanded he be prevented from entering the country, where his 1988 novel The Satanic Verses is banned.
The vice-chancellor of India's Darul Uloom Deoband seminary has called on the government to block Rushdie's visit, accusing the 65-year-old of hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims.
In response to a protest march planned on Friday January 20, the festival's opening day, organizers have rescheduled Rushdie's sessions, but event sources told Reuters that his invitation to take part still stood.
Over 70,000 visitors are expected to rub shoulders with more than 260 authors at the five-day festival, which takes place in the grounds of a 150-year-old palace in the heart of the pink-tinted city in the desert state of Rajasthan.
"We've got a raft of major first-division players this year, some giants of world literature," said William Dalrymple, best-selling author and co-director of the festival.
The event's meteoric rise, from a handful of guests in 2006, is testament to an explosion of interest in literature in India, driven by a rapidly growing middle class, steadily rising incomes and hundreds of millions of English speakers. Continued...

and because that I'm no longer comfortable working for the event that I'm nursing it for almost 5 years already.
its time for me to say Good bye for the Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention aka Toy Con.
its been a good year handling the big event and thus dubbed as the local version of the Comicon San Diego, and its a great event that I learned more on how to become a professional in handling and managing, its a big learning ground for being proactive in everything.
I want to leave, because that I'm no longer happy in organizing it and no longer comfortable if I'm going to do another one for next year.. My big decision is final.
this 2008 will be my last Toy Con.
