2008 Le Chanceux Cabernet Sauvignon
~ Silver Medal ~
2012 Finger Lakes Int'l Wine Competition
Family owned & operated, every vintage from Belles Filles Vineyard is unique & carefully nurtured on the vines until optimum quality is reached. Our small batches are hand crafted with minimal intervention andmaximum attention. True to this sub-appellation, Le Chanceux Cabernet Sauvignon is dense and rich with good Coombsville earthy character.
From Matt Kramer of Wine Spectator: "Recently, I was speaking at a charity wine event in Jackson Hole, Wyo. It was a high-end shindig with a lot of big-name Napa Valley wines (and owners) in attendance. But truffled among the more famous labels were a number of very small producers who are far from the spotlight, never mind being in Napa Valley. Anyway, I'm tasting through the array and come upon a 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon from a winery in the new Coombsville AVA, called Le Chanceux. Heard of it? Me neither. And why should we have? This microwinery produces only 200 cases, total. I taste their 2008 and … zing! Now, some of you likely know that I'm no pushover for Cabernet, but I'm here to testify that the 2008 Le Chanceux Cabernet grabbed me and wouldn't let go. It was a stunner." http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/46988

I wanted some opinions on this. I wondered if it's better to pay 3com $100 to get a refurbished palm to replace the palm3e special edition or just buy a new one being that it is almost the same price??
5/21/2000 (1:47 am) by admin
I'm wondering the same thing since my palm 3x was a gift and every now and then it freaks out of me only to be "fixed" with a soft reset.
10/8/2000 (4:55 pm) by JR
I don't know if Palm replaces the screen when they
refurbish. I have heard these do eventually wear
out. Probably just buy a new one, and sell the old one on ebay "as-is".
I have observed what you mention with palm "freak-
out". Some 3rd party software can mis-behave and really bolix up the whole thing. Look carefully
at any 3rd party software you have.
Good Luck

This article is Part 1 of a two-part discussion on the value of manure. Part 2 focuses on soil quality benefits provided by manure and appeared in the March 6, 2017 CropWatch.
Pesticides are a commonly used method of managing pests in our landscapes. However, pesticides are poisons, so they need to be handled carefully. With spring here and summer coming right around the corner, it is a good time to reinforce those safety precautions to everyone who might be using pesticides.
Nebraska Extension, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, and Game and Parks again have partnered to offer a series of pond and lake management introductory workshops. These workshops are free and open to everyone who makes decisions for and about lakes and ponds or anyone who wants to learn more about protecting them. If you've ever had an algae bloom, fish kill, murky water, or just want to know what's going on in the lake, this workshop is for you. All 2017 workshops are focused on sandpit lakes.
The 2014 Manure Demonstration Day was held in Lexington, Nebraska on July 29, 2014. Approximately 275 people attended the event that demonstrated how to utilize manure for proper plant nutrition while still protecting the environment. The event was similar to the North American Manure Expo, but focused on the manure industry in the state of Nebraska rather than nationally. Participants viewed 33 vendors, 16 demonstrations and had opportunities to attend educational sessions to learn more about manure management and handling.

Agricultural biotechnology, and crop science in general, includes plant cross-breeding techniques, trait selection, and genetic engineering in some cases. Biotech crops can make farming more profitable by increasing crop quality and may in some cases increasing crop yields. Where biotech crops are grown in proximity to related plants, the potential for the two plant species to exchange traits via pollen must be evaluated. In fact, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), herbicide-tolerant crops are particularly compatible with reduced-tillage commercial agriculture systems that help preserve topsoil from erosion.
USDA researchers seek to solve major agricultural problems and to better understand the basic plant biology relating to crop science. Researchers may use biotechnology processes to discover things that may not be possible by more conventional means. This includes introducing new or improved traits in plants, animals, and microorganisms and creating new biotechnology-based products such as more effective diagnostic tests, improved farm animal vaccines, and better antibiotics. The USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) conducts research on the economic aspects of the use of genetically engineered plants, including the rate of adoption of biotechnology by farmers. The regulation of genetic engineering aims to assess and manage the risks of developing genetically modified organisms (GMO), including commercial food crops and fish. Beyond major requirements within the environment department, you may consider Jamestown Community College EMT course as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Home Alone: Chapter 1
Webster Groves, Missouri—July 1996
Dean drifted back to consciousness as the sun hit his face and woke him up. He rolled over, only to be hit in the eye by sunlight reflecting off the mirror. He groaned in surrender and sat up. He saw that Sam was still soundly asleep in his bed, which happened to be conveniently placed out of the sun. Dean's bed was placed perpendicular to Sam's and next to the door. The room was so small that their beds almost touched at the corners. Right across from their room was the bathroom and down the hall to the left was the room their dad slept in.
Dean momentarily contemplated playing a prank on his sleeping brother, then decided against it. After all, Sam's hair was still recovering from its run in with Nair. He smirked then decided to get something to eat.
He walked out of the bedroom and down the hall. This end of the hall came out between the living room and the kitchen. There was a small TV on the wall next to the hallway with a couch and coffee table on the opposite wall. The kitchen was small, just barely large enough to fit a four chair table. Dean walked into the kitchen where John was sitting planning their next hunt. John glanced up and muttered, "Morning."
Dean nodded in acknowledgment, then poured himself a bowl of cereal. He sat down next to John and read some of the newspaper articles John had been researching.
"Yeah, it's been causing some trouble in a house over in East St. Louis."
"When do we leave?"
John didn't answer, he just gathered his papers and stuffed them in his journal. He dropped it in a duffel bag and Dean asked again, "Dad? When are we going?"
"I'm leaving in ten minutes. You're not going anywhere."
"What? Why not?"
John got up and poured himself another cup of coffee. He leaned against the counter and said, "Do you remember what happened the last time we took Sammy on a hunt?"
"Well, yeah. But what does that have to do with anything?"
"That werewolf almost tore his throat out. If Sam's ever going to become a good hunter, he needs more training."
"Dad, as much as it pains me to admit it, Sam's actually getting pretty good at this."
John took another sip of coffee. "He's good at hand to hand, I'll give you that. But his aim is what let that werewolf get to him. If he was better with a gun, that bullet would have hit the bastard in the heart and not just grazed him."
Dean stroked his chin as he tried to think of a reason he should go with his dad. "You'd really rather have me stay here and teach Sam how to shoot instead of watching your back?"
John put his coffee cup on the counter, picked up the duffel bag, and walked to the front door. He pulled it open, then faced Dean. "I'll be gone for at least a week. When I get back, I want to see some definite improvement in Sam."
"Yes, sir."
John closed the door as he left the apartment and Dean finished his breakfast. As he drank the last of the coffee, he dreaded the coming week. It was going to be the longest seven days of his life. He went back into the bedroom and pulled on a pair of jeans with the knees torn out. A gray t-shirt and a green button up with the sleeves rolled back to the elbows completed his look. He was putting on his boots when he saw that Sam was starting to stir in his bed.
He left the room and went to the living room where he pulled out all the weapons. He dissembled them and placed them on the coffee table. He knew he wasn't normally an organized person, but when it came to cleaning his guns he was meticulous. Every piece of every gun was placed neatly next to corresponding pieces. He picked up an old rag and started to clean.
Sam woke up, but didn't open his eyes. He did not want to get out of bed because he knew all he would hear about would be this upcoming hunt. All Sam knew was that the problem was further north and the odds were that he wouldn't be going with his dad and brother. He didn't really mind missing out on the hunt, but he minded that they didn't think he could do anything right. He forced himself to get out of bed and headed into the bathroom.
He looked at himself in the mirror and scowled when he saw his hair. It seemed to be growing back so slowly. He ran his hand through it, then heard Dean laughingly say, "You know, you should be thanking me. Before I got through with you the humidity plastered your hair to your head. It made you look like a drowned rat. Besides, Sammy, the girly hair'll grow back."
"It's Sam!"
Dean held his hands up in mock surrender and said, "Sorry, Sam…..y."
Sam slammed the bathroom door as Dean burst out laughing.
When Sam got out of the bathroom, he quickly got dressed in jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. He headed down the hall. Dean was sitting on the couch and had all the weapons spread out on the coffee table in front of him. He was just finishing cleaning the barrel of a shotgun when Sam asked, "Where's Dad?"
"He left."
Sam furrowed his brow in confusion. "Why didn't you go with him?"
"Somebody's got to stay behind and watch your sorry ass."
Sam made a face and poured himself a bowl of cereal. Dean added, "And Dad wants me to teach you how to shoot."
Sam sat down at the table. "I know how to shoot."
"Fine. Someone has to teach you how to aim."
Dean went to the bathroom and washed his hands. Then he went into their room and grabbed the keys to the Impala. He stood by the door and said, "Let's go."
Sam walked over and Dean said, "Dude, I'm taking you shooting. Grab a gun."
Sam looked at the coffee table where all the guns were still laying out in several pieces. "Uh, Dean…"
Dean raised his eyebrows. "Tell me you remember how to put a gun back together."
Sam turned red and stared at his shoes. "Dammit, Sam, I've shown you how to do this a hundred times."
Dean quickly put a gun together and handed it to Sam with a few extra clips. "For the rest of the week you're cleaning the weapons every night."
Sam's eyes widened. "Even you don't clean them that often!"
Dean shrugged. "You need the practice. Besides, you can never have a gun that's too clean."
They started walking out the door and Sam said, "You're an ass."
"And you're a little girl."
Dean laughed as Sam punched him in the arm and they left the apartment. Their apartment was one of three in what used to be a house. It had been renovated and now was owned by an old lady, Ms. Torinski, who lived in the basement. The Winchesters had the first floor apartment and the one above them was empty. Dean and Sam hovered just outside the door until it looked like the coast was clear. Then they ran for the car. They had only gone a few steps when they heard a voice behind them say, "Hi boys!"
They stopped and grimaced, then turned around to see Ms. Torinski coming out of her apartment and walking towards them. She leaned heavily on her cane and was wearing a dress that Dean thought looked like a 50s reject. "Hi, Ms. Torinski," Dean said as he and Sam slowly backed towards the Impala.
"Where are you boys off to so early?"
"Uh, Sam has a doctor's appointment."
She stooped a little lower so she could look at Sam. "What's wrong with you, sweetie?"
Sam heard Dean mutter under his breath, "He has to go to the VD clinic." Sam glared at him and Dean said louder, "He just has a checkup," then he grabbed Sam's arm and practically threw him at the car.
As Dean started the engine and pulled away he could hear Ms. Torinski say, "I once had an uncle who was a doctor…" she trailed off as Dean drove down the street as fast as he could.
Dean turned on the music and Metallica started filtering through the speakers. He said, "We need to talk to Dad when he gets back. I think that old bitch is possessed."
"Did it ever occur to you that she might just be a lonely old woman who wants some attention?"
Dean smirked and said, "You're not getting soft on me now, are you Sammy? I tell you what, after we're done shooting you can spend a little quality time with your girlfriend."
Sam mumbled something under his breath. Dean hesitated for a second, then said, "Dude, did you just swear at me in Latin? You're such a geek."
They rode the rest of the way in silence and Dean parked the car along the side of the road. There was a forest on the opposite side of the road; that was where Dean was going to take Sam. Dean opened the trunk and pulled out a bag that was hidden under various amulets and weapons.
Sam gaped and said, "You're not seriously going to make me use the cans, are you?"
"If you ever actually hit one I wouldn't."
Dean threw the bag at Sam then started walking into the woods. Sam looked inside the bag and said, "Dean, these are all rusted."
"Don't be so whiney. Besides, it's not my fault I haven't had to use these since I was seven."
Sam frowned, "Are you going to make fun of me or teach me to aim?"
"What makes you think I can't do both at the same time?"
Sam threw the bag back at Dean, who smirked. Once they were deep enough in the woods that they couldn't see the road any more, Dean lined up the cans on a low branch. He stood behind Sam and said, "Show me what you got."
Sam sighed and took his time lining up his shot. Then he fired and the third can from the end fell off the branch. Dean slapped Sam on the back and said, "Alright, Sammy! This is going to be the shortest training session ever."
Sam said, "Except I was aiming for the one on the very end."
Dean's face fell, but he quickly recovered and said, "Okay, no big deal, just try again."
Sam inwardly groaned. If Dean was being nice to him it meant he was really doing badly. Sam tried over and over again with Dean constantly giving him tips on how to be more accurate. He knocked two more cans of the branch and he hadn't been aiming at either of them. After a couple of hours Dean started to get hungry and he could see Sam was discouraged. He decided they should stop or else tomorrow he'd have to drag Sam kicking and screaming out here.
"Okay, Sam, that's enough. Let's go back to the apartment."
Sam went to pick up the cans, but Dean said, "Leave 'em. We'll be back tomorrow."
They walked back to the car and the drive back was filled with silence. Sam knew Dean was disappointed in him. Dean usually went easier on Sam when he was training him, but that wasn't going to happen this time. Sam actually reached over and turned on the radio, just so something would fill the silence. They pulled into the driveway and Dean cut the engine.
"Dean…" Sam began.
"Do we have anything good to eat?" Dean asked and got out of the car before Sam could answer. Sam got out and walked behind Dean, who slowed down his pace. He looked at Sam and the smallest smile crossed his lips. "Dean," Sam said warningly.
Dean grinned and ran towards the door. He quickly ducked inside the apartment, locking the door behind him. Sam pounded on the door, "Dean!"
"Is that you, Sam?" Ms. Torinski said as she came up the stairs from her apartment. "How was your appointment?"
"Um, well, uh…"
"You know my uncle was a doctor…"
Sam was trapped as the old woman droned on and on about her family. Sam unfortunately wasn't nearly as good a liar as Dean and couldn't think of a way to get rid of the landlady. After about thirty minutes, Dean must have decided he'd had enough because he opened the door and yanked Sam into the apartment by his collar.
Sam glared at Dean who said, "Sorry, Sammy, didn't realize you were still out there."
Sam said nothing; he just stomped back to their room and dropped down on his bed. Behind all the joking, Sam knew Dean was still disappointed. That bothered Sam. He didn't know why it bothered him so much, Dad was disappointed in him all the time and it never got to him. But when it was Dean, it tore at Sam and made him feel ashamed.
Midnight, 2 Blocks Away
Ethan stood in front of the old house, fidgeting with his flashlight. He kept asking himself why he had agreed to do this. He had been playing Truth or Dare with his friends and one of them had dared him to spend the night in this old, deserted house. Ethan didn't believe in ghosts, not by any means, but he still wasn't looking forward to a humid night spent swatting away mosquitoes.
The house was a split level with two stories, not including the basement. It was made of yellow stucco and there were green vines climbing up the walls on every side. Most of the windows were broken from rocks that kids had thrown through them. Ethan went up the steps and tried the front door, but it was locked. He went around to the back door, which was also locked, but there was a broken window he was able to climb through.
The kitchen had an old-fashioned refrigerator which was a sickly green. Off to the right was a dining room with an antique table and black textured walls. After that was the living room. To the left of the door was a baby grand piano. There were stacks of old newspapers and magazines everywhere.
He climbed the narrow staircase that led upstairs to a hallway. The two bedrooms on the right looked relatively normal; it was the one on the left that gave him the creeps. It was the size of two bedrooms. Across from the door was a twin bed which was right by a window. On the other side of the room were a bunch of antique dolls. The way they looked at him was almost enough for Ethan to run from the house, but he forced himself to stay. He was not going to chicken out on this, no matter what.
He went down the stairs and then to the basement. There were boxes and boxes of old letters and pictures. In the corner was an old push mower with one of the handles missing. Ethan smirked as he thought of the poor man who had to use that thing. He spun around when he heard a creak on the stairs.
"Who's there?" he called out in a shaky voice.
No one answered. He slowly went back upstairs and swept the first floor with his flashlight. When he didn't see anyone he let out a breath of relief. He turned around to go back into the living room, then he screamed.

WWE News: Gallows & Anderson want to reform Bullet Club to destroy WWE
Whatever happens one way or another, you can be sure that we haven't heard the last of the Bullet Club in WWE.
What's the story?
As reported by Uproxx, former New Japan Pro Wrestling stars Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson stated that they wish to get the band back together, so to speak. The tag team, currently competing in Raw's tag team division, have made no secret of the fact they want to shake things up in the company.
When speaking on Sam Roberts' Wrestling Podcast, the two spoke about former BC member Finn Balor and what they'd like to do upon his return.
"Let him come back. Let us reform the original Bullet Club. We'll just tear everything apart. That's one of those pitches we've thrown. We'll see if it sticks or not."
In case you didn't know...
Since their arrival in WWE following WrestleMania 32, Gallows & Anderson haven't exactly set the world alight in the biggest wrestling company in the world. It's no surprise that they would want to relive their glory days in Japan, during which they wrestled under the tutelage of former Bullet Club member Balor.
The group ran riot over the company and tore up the rule book in the process, with the Demon King constantly hinting at a reunion on social media.
The heart of the matter
Fans are dying to see this storyline take place, and many believe it would have, had Balor not picked up his injury at SummerSlam. Whilst most Superstars are fairly content with simply making it to WWE, like AJ Styles, it seems as if Gallows & Anderson want more than to be faces in the crowd.
That's certainly a good attitude to have, but whether the men behind the scenes feel the same way is a different matter entirely.
What next?
Regardless of if this storyline ends up taking place, it doesn't feel as if Gallows & Anderson will have had much to do with it. In terms of listening to the fans, WWE is extremely inconsistent with what it feels is necessary to put on TV, but it's a whole different ball game with Bullet Club.
Reigniting the group would likely introduce a whole new audience to the product and whilst they have had slight success with 'The Club', it didn't quite feel like the real deal.
Sportskeeda's Take
We feel that it's too obvious to go ahead with the whole Bullet Club situation right now. We all know how much potential there is, not to mention possible free agent signings, but this is one of the busiest periods of the year for WWE.
It seems like a storyline of this magnitude would be better suited to the summer, with the usual trend being that there's one huge focal point around SummerSlam with other segments around it.
In terms of what this could do for Gallows & Anderson, it could go one of two ways. Whilst many will see it as an opportunity for them to thrive under the WWE banner, there is also the possibility they could fade into the background.
One would imagine that AJ Styles would somehow find his way into this feud either at 'Mania or SummerSlam and if that turns out to be the case they could be relegated to bodyguards.

Hi, everyone.
Religion is so much popular debate topic all the time. The faith in some higher cause is very interesting phenomenon of humankind so it's tempting to come back to the question again and again :)
I'm an atheist (agnostic probably more precise). Like almost everything in the world have good effects and bad effects at the same time, so is the religion IMO.
Although some time ago I was quite radical atheist mocking at pseudo-logical arguments of believers, now I'm trying to understand the bigger picture and examine the positive effects of believing in God on society in general. Because of this, I'm not that radical now and I'm willing to listen to the both sides' arguments carefully. So today I want to discuss one of those "good effects" that are on my mind for some time now with one of you.
My proposition goes like this:
Religion prevents people to commit crimes.
Now I'll try to explain, what I mean. I will divide people into different categories:
(1) Non-believers with strong ethics. They have a sense of what's good and what's bad. They seek to be socially responsible (and they succeed).
(2) Non-believers with weak ethics. Being peaceful and trying to make as much good as possible and as little damage as possible is not at all their primary goal in life. They care about their wellbeing and they don't mind to hurt the others. They are not afraid of God's punishment so this makes them be more prone to crimes compared to the believers.
(3) Believers with strong ethics. They have a sense of what's good and what's bad. They seek to be socially responsible (and they succeed). Moreover being religious makes them to be even more social responsible, because they want to be good in the eyes of God.
(4) Believers with weak ethics. Just like (2), somehow they don't feel inside the strong wish to contribute to the peace and friendliness of the world. They care about their wellbeing and they don't mind to hurt the others. Even though they believe in God, somehow they don't pay too much attention to that part of "do not kill", "do not rob", "love everyone".
(5) Believers with weak ethics. Just like (4), except this time they act like (3) and the main reason for that - they seek not to violate God's laws, even though they would like in their heart.
I want to discuss exactly this 5th category. Remembering my above proposition, it is this 5th group that I have in mind.
Here goes my second related proposition:
Even though believing in God isn't rational and there are no proofs of God existence, religion makes huge impact on making part of the believers to behave in a right way. This is why loud atheists should shut up :)
Believers - Christians of nowadays (to prevent talking about crusades and other nasty things of the past).
Crimes - hurting people, robbery, etc.
Ethics - natural sense of what is good and what is bad. The source of this attitude is not a religion, but merely innate humanity and empathy.
Since I wrote quite a lot of letters in the opening, my opponent can start arguing right away.
Burden of proof - shared. My oponent should argue that, e.g.:
- Religion do not prevent people to making crimes.
- If something prevents people to make crimes, this is not religion.
- Even if the religion prevents the crimes, the impact of that in regards to ammount of crimes in the world is not worth our attention.
Looking forward to the interesting discussion.
Now the first point I would like to make is that for the most part religion does not prevent crimes there are rare exceptions but for most cases religion does not do it. What could do it however would be basic ethics and having knowledge of morals and having empathy in general.
I would also like to bring our attention to this source.
It states that less religious countries tend to be more peaceful than the more religious nations, another statistic states on average atheists are in fact the most peaceful class in the US!
Firstly, I want to respond to my opponent's points.
He says "for the most part religion does not prevent crimes". This statement needs some kind of proof. At the moment it's just an opinion.
My opponent also shares the source where statistics are made that less religious countries tend to be more peaceful. I'm not sure if we can take this as an argument for the topic, since we should crystallize relevant information from the research first. Firstly, I'd like to talk only about Christian countries, because it just so happens that majority of hot spots in the world is Islamic countries. Whereas, North America, South America, Europe, Australia - they're mostly Christian continents and they're relatively safe continents too. So if we make the calculations on Christian countries only I somehow believe that we would have different results.
Now I have my argument.
As I was searching for some researches, I've noticed that researchers quite often find it difficult to show the negative correlation between religiousness and delinquency. However there is work of James M. Day, William S. Laufer who looked at the problem in a different way and they state that they've found the reason why previous researchers failed to find the correlation.
"It is not whether an individual kid goes to church or believes in hell that influences his or her delinquency. What is critical is whether the majority of the kid's friends are religious. In communities where most young people do not attend church, religion will not inhibit the behavior even of those teenagers who personally are religious. However, in communities where most kids are religious, then those who are will be less delinquent than those who aren't." [1]
So the authors propose that even though from a psychological perspective it could be difficult to find the positive influence on people behavior, this influence is very clear from a sociological perspective. And the critical point here is the density of believers in the group of people. If the majority of people in the group are religious, the numbers clearly shows that believers will do less crimes than non-believers in that group.
[1] James M. Day, William S. Laufer (1987). "Crime Values and Religion". http://www.google.lt...
The data in this source includes the real factors that prevent most of the murder in the US.
"Firstly, I'd like to talk only about Christian countries."
Staying away from less Christian countries I would like to focus on the US which has a 76% rate of Christians. Some of the statistics listed on the source state things about our own country such as.
"Louisiana" which happens to be one of the most religious states in the US "has murder rates twice the US average."
And that "the Bible Belts murder rates are significantly higher that the US average"
So statistically speaking your claims that towns with more religious people have lower crime rates falls short.
"Does all this mean that religion "primarily Christianity" causes violence?
No, as Steve Chapman so clearly points out in his recent Slate article, relationships don't necessary mean causal relationships."
Indeed, causality is very interesting and very important aspect of studies like this. The possible explanations of these results could be the following:
a)The Christianity somehow is the cause of people being more violent. (Argument for Con).
b)The actual cause of murder rate are the social factors like poor educational level, low economic status, low social tolerance, lack of liberal viewpoints in society. In this picture believing in God isn't the cause of wrongdoing but only the effect of social factors that were just mentioned. (Not an argument for Con).
Secondly, the study doesn't show that the murderers are those who attend church :) One can perfectly assume that majority of criminals are the ones who do not believe in God. The source would have much stronger value to the topic if it made the calculations about which part of society (believers or non-believers) was apt to break the rules more.
That is why the study is not very strong argument for Con at most.
Going back to my source in previous post, I want to add and clarify this:
The research finds the negative correlation between religiousness and delinquency in US areas where the research was done. Although there is a condition to make this correlation true - the density of believers should be high enough. When this requirement is met, we can see that believers do less crimes compared to non-believers. [2]
One more argument of mine:
There is a research about religiousness effect on crime rates of black youth in US inner-cities. [1]
The study shows that black male youth who are religiously committed are less likely to do illegal activities, use drugs or alcohol. Other factors, e.g. stronger bond to family and school, more conventional peer networks, or higher involvement in productive activities, were taken into account to understand if it is really the religion that prevents the youth from making crimes and the study shows that it is clearly the religion that to some degree really causes the positive effect.
[1] John J. DiIulio, Jr, "Religion: The Forgotten Factor In Cutting Youth Crime and Saving At-Risk Urban Youth" (1998). http://www.manhattan-institute.org...
[2] James M. Day, William S. Laufer (1987). "Crime Values and Religion". http://www.google.lt...
"high education levels
"high economic status
"social tolerance
"liberal viewpoints
now a part of my argument states that Christianity is a blockage to most of what I listed. While non belief and atheism enables what I have listed. And with the data shown in my statistics I have a strong argument.
"now a part of my argument states that Christianity is a blockage to most of what I listed. While non belief and atheism enables what I have listed"
Well, this is quite strong expression :) I could agree with "social tolerance" and "liberal viewpoints". Christians lack those more often than atheists. However saying that Christianity is a blockage to high education levels and high economic status is too brave I think. Majority of Christians in my environment are highly educated people...
As I started this topic, I had no strong confidence that my propositions are right. I just thought that it should be logical that believers should generally do less crime because there should be portion of people who don't have strong ethics but they believe in all-seeing-eye, and they believe that they will be punished in this life or afterlife.
As I started to search for information, I've found out that there is no consensus among researchers whether being theist affects criminal behavior, since there were studies which both have and haven't found correlation between religiosity and crimes. The study that I referenced in the second round was able to explain why previous studies couldn't find that correlation. This might suggest that previous studies may have used incomplete or even wrong methods.
At the other hand, even if Christians do less bad things than atheists, this difference is probably quite insignificant.
All in all I still vote PRO :)
I want to thank CON for the debate.
I didn't really mean to come off as generic because saying that Christianity as a whole is a blockage to crime solution is in fact generic. I meant to exclude the more progressive Christians who are usually not Bible literalists and take stupid scriptures literally and as fact while they take other ones out of context. I was targeting the more vocal Christians.
All in all, I really have nothing else to say about your Round 4 argument.
I would like to wish Pro luck in the voting period of this debate.

Reasons for voting decision: Con simply didn't do enough in this debate to win it. I see a lot of correlative arguments with no causative analysis or reasons why we should believe him. It's up to him to supply those. I don't see any argumentation on how religious fanatics, who would be among those with strong ethics, can also cause major crimes, even on a whole new level. So all I have left from Con is that religion prevents people from exploring issues more deeply, another unwarranted claim, nor does he warrant anything about needing intelligence to be ethical. Con gives me no reason to vote for him. Pro gives me several, and while I find many areas of disagreement, as I don't hear about them in the debate, Pro wins on arguments. He also wins sources, as his were significantly better. The conduct goes to Con because Pro redefined the debate to be just about Christianity in the second round. I'd say that's a little much, but since Con didn't say anything about it, it didn't factor into the round itself.

To love all or to live for others is never onerous i.e. it doesn't require a great deal of effort. Yes! what it takes is just to swallow up your own pride/interest/comfort/right and as well to realize that life is not meant to be all about you. In other words, you should be considerate of someone else's/other people's needs/interest/well-being/welfare.
When you say to the audience openly, 'This election isn't about you, it's about me,' when you're supposed to say, 'It's all about you'…then you've gone over a line. what kind of person, even trying to make an amusing point, is going to say something like that, 'Get my numbers up,' basically, 'I'm melting, I'm melting, help me out here,'.
No one is your enemy, we all are one. Some understand all about you and some none. Some accept you, some don't, some will like you and some won't. Let's not be divided, be on the same page, let's share love and care, not rage. Alone we may be powerful and together we become a force; let's not forget we are all born out of the same source. Let our egos be neutralized, let's heal together and get MickeyMized.
Giving is an uncommon key to getting or receiving more goodies and riches. As a matter of fact. Whenever you are desperate to give more than to take more. You will definitely end up receiving more goodies or riches and never less. Besides, in case you don't know, life shouldn't be all about your own well-being. Also, it shouldn't be all about you receiving from others or someone else. Rather, it should be all about others or somone else receiving from you. In other words, you ought to have the interest and well-being of others or somone else at heart. Do remember, it is more blessed and rewarding to give than to receive. Therefore, dare to give more rather than to take more. For, you cannot lack throughout your lifetime. You can take my words for it/that.

Real Estate Law Lawyers In Barton Ohio
What is real estate law?
Real Estate Law refers to laws and regulations that regulate land and things permanently fixed to the land such as a building. Real estate is synonymous of real property and sometimes called realty. Real estate lawyers deal with issues as varied as real estate transactions, as in the sale and purchase of real estate, construction defects, landlord-tenant disputes, eminent domain, 1031 exchanges, foreclosures and mortgage law to name a few.

Hi Laurel! I stumbled across a link today about an app being developed at the Great Ape Trust to communicate with bonobos through lexigrams. I hopped over here and see what you'd been writing about, and lo and behold, it's bonobos! So, I thought I'd share the link: http://laughingsquid.com/bonobo-chat-an-app-for-talking-with-apes/
I hope all's well.
Let's Bonobo
So I have been writing about bonobos the last few days and since I can only talk about what I am working on, I've been chatting about them a lot. Most people though, have no idea what I'm talking about. They let me rattle on for a bit and the bravest will eventually interrupt me to say sheepishly, "what's a bonobo?"
Answer: a great ape (like us, gorillas, chimps, and orangutans). I think they are not as famous though for a few reasons. 1. They're rare. 2. They have never had a charismatic lady spokesperson (like the chimps have Jane Goodall, the gorillas had Diane Fossey and the orangs have Birute Galdikas) or been the subject of a major Hollywood film. They do have Frans de Waal though who has written beautifully and at great length about their deep reserves of empathy, wanton sexual proclivities and otherwise fascinating nature. There is also Kanzi, the famous linguist who has worked with the American psychologist Sue Savage-Rumbaugh for years at the Great Ape Trust in Iowa. He collects firewood, can start a fire and likes to cook over it.
My dream place to visit while I work at First Security Services Oakland security company is the Lola Ya Bonobo Sanctuary in the Congo, where orphaned bonobos are raised by human "mamas," taught good bonobo life skills, and then released to a sanctuary.
At the Milwaukee Zoo they like hanging out on the ceiling.

The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently held that Section 215 of the Patriot Act – the section currently used to justify the bulk collection of phone records – does not authorize the bulk collection of phone records. Rather than address the more difficult Constitutional questions (which I have discussed elsewhere), they simply held that the statute telling the NSA what they can do doesn't let them do that. As Orin Kerr noted, this ruling is arguably more symbolic than substantive, as Section 215 is set to sunset in just a couple weeks. It would seem that the Second Circuit is simply trying to tell Congress, "If you want to continue these surveillance programs, say so explicitly." Yet the Second Circuit had to jump through quite a few procedural hoops to make that statement, and I worry that in reaching the merits of the case the Second Circuit created an unworkable framework for foreign intelligence going forward.
A Tale of Two Courts
To begin: some jurisdiction. As I've discussed in the other posts, jurisdiction is based heavily upon land, so most federal courts have clear territorial boundaries delineating where their rulings apply. For district courts, this will be a segment of the state they occupy (occasionally it is the entire state). For the federal courts of appeal (which I'll refer to as "circuit courts"), these territorial boundaries encompass several states, but more specifically they cover the territory of the specific district courts from which that circuit court hears appeals (you can see the exact outline here). The Ninth Circuit doesn't hear appeals from Virginia, and Ninth Circuit opinions aren't binding in Virginia district courts, all based on the courts' established territory. Only the Supreme Court is binding everywhere.
Yet not all courts operate on this land based system: some courts are established to hear specific kinds of cases. While there are several of these courts, the important one for this discussion is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), which is the special court created by Congress in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to manage the foreign intelligence activities set out in FISA. Basically, the FISC is the court that issues warrants for government spying. It is also a secret court, which we (the public) know little about, and it operates ex parte, meaning only the government appears before it. (This makes sense, as asking suspected terrorists to come explain why they shouldn't be surveilled sounds like a Monty Python sketch.) The FISC is the court that initially approved bulk collection under Section 215, and while its decisions may be challenged, these challenges are supposed to come from the telecom companies that will be facilitating the surveillance. Appeals from the FISC are heard by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (FISCR), but since the government is the only party to the FISC, the only appeals heard by the FISCR are for denials of warrants.
ACLU v. Clapper
This brings me to the Second Circuit's opinion. As is often the case with national security lawsuits, the majority of the court's time is spent determining whether it even has the authority to hear the case. There are numerous barriers to judicial oversight for national security issues – the plaintiff's standing, preemption by the FISC, jurisdiction, state secrets – and the court must address several of these issues before even reaching Section 215, the thing people actually care about. (For those looking for a more in depth discussion of the opinion, I'd start here.) While I think each piece of the opinion is reasonable, I ultimately don't think the Second Circuit should have ruled on the question of statutory interpretation for Section 215, and instead they should have adopted the FISC's interpretation as a matter of deference.
Deference is a judicial practice wherein judges adopt the legal interpretation of a source that would not traditionally be binding. This is not a Supreme Court opinion, which lower courts have to follow; it is something that courts should follow, provided it is not clearly unreasonable. Much like standing and preemption, deference is one of those concepts that is frustrating to laypersons but of high import to lawyers, and particularly judges, both for high minded reasons (we defer to parties that are more easily held accountable by the public, or who have specialized knowledge of the area, or out of respect for the separation of powers and federalism) and for practical reasons (less work for judges). So deference springs up in numerous areas, from deference to the executive in matters of foreign affairs and national security, to Supreme Court deference to circuit court interpretations of state laws in that circuit's jurisdiction, to deference to government agency interpretations of laws they are tasked to administer.
It is that third option, administrative deference, upon which I want to focus. The basic idea here is that when a statute is ambiguous, courts should defer to the relevant agency's interpretation of the statute they are tasked with administering. The Department of Health and Human Services for HIPAA; the EPA for the Clean Air Act; etc. This is known as "Chevron deference" (referring to Chevron v. NRDC), and it is among the most important legal concepts non-lawyers have never heard of. The goal of Chevron deference is to have the law reflect the intent of Congress, and it is thought that Congress meant to empower these agencies with the authority to determine what ambiguous statutory language means. Therefore, it makes sense that the agency interpretation is given deference rather than having judges impose their own interpretations. While Chevron deference is complicated and highly litigated, I think its broad concepts are useful when analyzing the statutory scheme created in FISA.
What does the FISC say?
Now that I've gotten through that particularly lengthy backdrop, I want to talk about deference with regard to the FISC. Although I discussed Chevron deference specifically, it really can't be said to apply to Section 215, because the FISC is not a government agency. The FISC is a court, and FISC opinions are not binding on the Second Circuit, or indeed in any circuit. But maybe they should be. Although the FISC is not a government agency, it is in many ways taking on the administration of a specific statute, and it would make sense that its understanding of that statute should be treated with special weight. If Congress enacted FISA with the FISC to adjudicate, it would make sense that it was the intent of Congress to delegate to the FISC the power to interpret FISA. So shouldn't that delegation be given deference by the other circuits?
This is a fairly novel argument (as far as I'm aware), and as such, precedent for it is lacking. There are certainly other areas where Congress created a specific court to adjudicate specific issues, but these normally are issues of jurisdiction over particular kinds of claims, and not as administration of a particular statute. For instance the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit handles all patent and trademark application appeals (among other things), so these cases would never reach another court and thus never require deference. When courts other than the Federal Circuit hear claims traditionally reserved for the Federal Circuit (such as malpractice suits against attorneys handling patent applications) the other court steps into the shoes of the Federal Circuit for the relevant issues. This isn't deference, as the other court isn't making that determination on its own; rather it is asking what the Federal Circuit would have done in those circumstances (e.g. would the patent application have resolved differently if the attorney had done xyz?)
There are other areas where Congress has established non-traditional Article III Courts, such as the US Alien Terrorist Removal Court and the US Court of International Trade, but these courts too have not been addressed in the context of interpretive deference. The Alien Terrorist Removal Court, although structurally similar to the FISC, has never actually been utilized, so it is of little precedential worth, whereas the Court of International Trade is not tied to a specific statute, and instead has exclusive jurisdiction over specific areas, like embargoes. Unlike the FISC, which was created by a specific statute solely to adjudicate specific claims in that statute, the Court of International Trade has broader jurisdiction over certain trade matters, and deference to its interpretation of specific statutory language makes little sense unless that language was directed specifically for it to adjudicate.
Deference or Preemption?
I suspect that the primary response to this line of argument, (apart from the secrecy point, which I'll get to), is that the Second Circuit essentially dealt with this issue in its discussion of preemption and jurisdiction. The Second Circuit devoted a good portion of the opinion to whether the creation of the FISC precluded bringing claims in other courts, and concluded that since FISA did not expressly limit jurisdiction to the FISC, it did not preempt bringing suit in a separate court. While this line of argument is similar to the one for deference, it is conceptually distinct. Preemption is essentially a question of where the case will be heard; deference is a question of who determines what the law means. So it is not unthinkable the citizens could mount challenges to FISA in regular federal district courts, but that those district courts must defer to the interpretation of the FISC.
I should emphasize that the framework I am suggesting would not preclude the Second Circuit from ruling on the constitutionality of Section 215, but rather it would preclude the circuits from each crafting their own interpretation of what Section 215 means. The Second Circuit, adopting the FISC's interpretation (that Section 215 justifies bulk collection), could still rule that such an interpretation is in violation of the 4th Amendment, and therefore unconstitutional. The question of interpretation is ultimately asking what Congress intended, and the creation of the FISC suggests that Congress intended the FISC to be the interpreter in that regard. The question of constitutionality asks whether what Congress intended comports with the Constitution, a question that every court is empowered to ask.
The final point that needs to be addressed is the question of secrecy. As I mentioned above, the FISC and FISCR are secret courts, and very few of their opinions are publicly available. As such, a requirement of deference is difficult, because there are no opinions for the other courts to defer to. Rather, the Courts will be forced to defer to conclusions (e.g. that Section 215 allows bulk collection) without any chance to review the analysis. The usual reasonableness analysis for deference would either shift to a "no-reasonable Court" standard (which is extremely problematic) or would be removed altogether. The latter is moving into the territory of pure choice of law, which ultimately may be necessary.
Practical Considerations
Personally, I think such a system makes more sense. While I've been focusing on the theory, the practical effect of the Second Circuit's decision is that the FISC is subject to a bizarre framework where every circuit is theoretically binding, at least with regard to interpretations of FISA. The problem goes back to the discussion of land: although the circuits all are bounded by geography, the FISC is not. Each of the circuits can craft a unique interpretation Section 215, applicable to their jurisdiction, and the FISC is forced to wrangle with all of them. Although not directly bound, the FISC's opinions would be meaningless unless they comported with each circuit, as otherwise the government would be barred from acting. And while distinctions could theoretically be made by the location of the target (surveillance targets located in the Ninth Circuit would be subject to Ninth Circuit interpretations), this is of little use considering the primary target of foreign intelligence surveillance is likely to be overseas, and would nonetheless be difficult to pin down to a specific jurisdiction. While it is ultimately the job of the Supreme Court to resolve these types of circuit disputes, regular district courts are not subject to conflicting circuit court opinions while the Supreme Court deliberates.
I must admit that this entire area is a mess. The fundamental problem is that Congress did not intend for the targets of surveillance under FISA to ever become aware of the surveillance, and as such they would have no grounds to challenge it. But Congress did not expressly abrogate the right of the individual to challenge the statute, and the judiciary is reluctant to deny this right unless Congress explicitly says as much. So with the revelation of the NSA's bulk collection, effectively every citizen was made aware that they were subjected to surveillance, which would arguably give rise to a right to challenge the statute. Basically, Congress didn't foresee an Edward Snowden, and the statute is not well written to deal with that contingency.
The solution to all of these problems is nonetheless that Congress needs to clarify FISA. I've focused on deference, because it is relatively unexplored, but this problem could be rectified if Congress clarified the questions of jurisdiction, preemption, and standing. Even if Section 215 expires, it would still be worthwhile to clarify how the FISC should interact with other courts, if at all, as much of FISA will still be on the books. Yet given the current legislative environment, relying on Congress to clarify such a contested issue might prove to be fruitless, and courts will need to craft a workable framework from the legislation that we currently have.
I apologize for this post being a bit longer than usual, but the complexity of the topic required a more in depth analysis, if only to help me properly frame the issues for myself. Indeed although I only made a passing reference to choice of law, I am still wondering if that might be a better framework into which to file this issue. But I digress. Until next time.

Why Rogue One is the Star Wars We Needed
January 2, 2017
Filed under Opinion, Top Stories
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
*Author's note- No major plot details are disclosed below, but minor elements are exposed. The general premise, as well as vague details, are covered, but nothing that would spoil the viewing experience for anyone who has yet to enjoy Rogue One.
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was made to be a classic. It had something for everyone- adventure, action, romance, even a bit of wit and humor. That first Star Wars movie started a dynasty that's still going strong today. Even from the beginning, it was clear what the end of the Original Trilogy would be. The scrappy gang of good guys was always destined to prevail over the pure-evil Empire. The famous opening crawl of Episode IV mentions Rebel spies who stole secret Death Star plans. The rest of the movie shows our heroes Leia, Luke, Han, Chewie, R2D2 and C3PO all trying to get these plans to Rebel leaders, then launching an attack against the Death Star.
The movie was called A New Hope, and for a long time it seemed like this ragtag gang of heroes was that "new hope." Rogue One changes that by showing the journey of those aforementioned Rebel spies. All along it was the spies who were the "new hope" by giving the Rebellion a fighting chance again, and by fighting even when the moment seemed darkest.
Rogue One was a different kind of Star Wars. It's the second PG-13 rated film, and it doesn't have the word "episode" in the title. It was the first film whose soundtrack wasn't written by John Williams. It was the second not directed by George Lucas, and the first to ditch the opening text crawl. While it still featured fan service, it still definitely stood on its own and would not alienate someone who has never seen a Star Wars movie before. It also patched plot holes left by the franchise's main movies, and bridged a gap in the story between the Prequel and Original trilogies in a wonderful way that's sure to please longtime fans.
The Force played a much lesser role in this movie, with most of the main characters unable to wield its power. It felt a lot more "real" as a result, and more relatable, because the heroes didn't need anything out of the ordinary. All Star Wars movies use hope as a central theme, but Rogue One was grittier and darker- far more so than every previous movie in the franchise. Victory and morality are not as black and white as in the other Star Wars movies, but instead come in shades of gray.
Rogue One as a whole was the perfect Star Wars to end the socially and politically tumultuous year that 2016 became. Bad things happened to good people, and good things happened to bad people. Our heroes weren't always the people we wanted them to be. From a technical standpoint, the movie did exactly what society needs to do. It looked back and paid homage to those who came before, while simultaneously forging its own way and stepping off the beaten path. The film left behind the familiar in favor of the unknown, and it was very refreshing to see.
