We must never again squander the blood of patriots with a half-hearted attempt at war. It is dangerous, counter-productive and immoral to fight a war with just enough troops to agitate our foes without a sufficient commitment to ensure victory. We must soundly defeat those who attack us while simultaneously establishing basic security and economic stability for the civilian population. Ignoring the civilian suffering only creates hatred among a long-suffering people caught up in the throes of war. Civilians who hate us become enemies who fight us. It is the surest route to a bloody and debilitating defeat.Despite all of the odds stacked against us in Iraq, we have achieved success in Iraq, especially in Ramadi and the rest of Al Anbar Province. We have done so by a multi-faceted approach. First, we have conducted decisive military action and thoroughly defeated the enemy in battle. Second, we have worked with, rather than against, the Iraqi people's own natural leaders in re-establishing basic security and some degree of economic stability. It is imperative to follow up tactical victories by removing the conditions which motivate future attacks. We have learned a lot in Iraq, and we cannot ignore these lessons in Afghanistan. Our troops have fought hard and sacrificed much in an uphill battle to defeat an enemy defined not by geographic borders, but by it's ideological commitment to the destruction of our nation. We have learned that we can not remain isolated on our bases while the civilians around us suffer at the hands of terrorists. We must establish a protective, cooperative presence among the people. The challenge in establishing basic security is to do so in a way that respects and supports the people's natural leadership and fosters self-reliance. The efforts of our military must eventually be carried on by the Afghans themselves. If we instead remain aloof and isolated, relying solely on aerial strikes with unmanned drones, the civilians will see only bloodshed and never the compassionate face of an American soldier standing with them to improve life in their remote villages. While well-placed aerial strikes are a vital part of our overall strategy, they are only one part of it. During the Vietnam War, we saw the results of allowing partisan politics to define our battlefield strategies. The time and place for deciding whether to fight a war rests with our civilian political leadership. Once they decide to fight, victory is our goal. Defeat is not an option. We must collectively stand behind our soldiers and support their efforts, not micromanage them into a defeat. General Stanley McChrystal is our battlefield commander in Afghanistan. He is in the best position to assess our efforts and refine our strategy and define the resources he needs to accomplish the mission set before him. As unpleasant as it is to send 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan, we must win this fight. Our nation was attacked on September 11th, not by a geographically - defined nation, but rather by a radical ideology which runs counter to everything we hold dear. We must defeat our attackers every time, and on every level. Not only must we stop those who attack America, we must remove the motivation of those who contemplate future attacks. Victory in Afghanistan will go far to prevent future attacks on our own soil. Defeat will embolden our enemies and fuel further attacks on our nation. May God bless America. Thomas A.

Sustainable Food Advocate and Former Bon Appétit Executive Helene York to Present Carleton College Convocation
Submitted by Jessica Paxton on Sun, 01/20/2013 - 4:55pm
Jan 25 2013 10:50 am
Location:Skinner Memorial Chapel, Carleton College
Carleton College will host Helene York, an advocate for sustainable food who directed the purchasing initiatives of the Bon Appétit Management Company (Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges' food service provider) from 2005 until 2013, on Friday, Jan. 25. York's presentation, "Beyond Consumer Activism: What Companies Must Do to Fix a Broken Food System," will discuss how Bon Appétit works to make more sustainable food available to its large network of clients. Carleton's weekly convocation is held from 10:50-11:50 a.m. in the Skinner Memorial Chapel, and it is free and open to the public. Convocations are also streamed live and can be viewed online at http://apps.carleton.edu/events/convocations/.
York has overseen food purchases for Bon Appétit, first as an internal advocate and later as director of purchasing strategies (she was the first person to hold this position at Bon Appétit), with the goal of building a meaningful sustainable food program. She has particularly focused on seafood, helping many companies to move away from threatened fish species and toward sustainable supplies (for which she was honored by SeaWeb with a Seafood Champion Award in 2010). York most recently developed and launched the Fish to Fork purchasing program in 2011, which promotes the use of fresh seafood from non-industrial regional sources. She also created Bon Appétit's Low Carbon Diet program in 2007, which led to the reduction of over 5 million pounds in carbon dioxide emissions.
York also served as director of the Bon Appétit Management Company Foundation from 2005 until 2012, where she assisted in the foundation's mission of educating consumers and chefs about how their purchasing choices affect the global environment. York has served as an advisor for groups including the Global Aquaculture Project Initiative (sponsored by the Pew Charitable Trusts) and the Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops (initiated by the Natural Resources Defense Council to develop standards to improve the way produce is grown). A graduate of Harvard and Yale Universities, York has contributed to The Atlantic's website since 2009, where she writes about food-related issues. York also serves as director of Humane Farm Animal Care, a nonprofit group that oversees the "Certified Humane" program, and cofounded FishChoice.com, which helps chefs find sustainable seafood supplies.
Founded in 1987 and based in Palo Alto, Calif., the Bon Appétit Management Company seeks to provide fresh, high-quality food to a specialized audience. The company serves corporate clients (including such big-name companies as Amazon, eBay and Target), colleges and universities (including Carleton, St. Olaf and Macalester Colleges in Minnesota, among dozens of others) and specialty venues (such as the Minnesota History Center and the Art Institute of Chicago). In 1999, Bon Appétit began its commitment to sustainability with the launch of its Farm to Fork Program, and since then the company has pursued socially responsible food sources. Bon Appétit has received awards for both its food service and its commitment to sustainability. The Princeton Review has twice named it the #1 college food service in the United States, and in 2011 the Review ranked a Bon Appétit client (Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill.) as #1 in college food. Bon Appétit has served as Carleton's food service provider since 2008.

Can I use listed low-voltage or limited-energy cables outdoors or underground?
The NEC requires low-voltage and limited-energy wiring within buildings to be listed as resistant to the spread of fire (725.71, 760.31, 760.71, 770.49, 800.49, and 820.49). Because the NEC doesn't require low-voltage or limited-energy wiring used outdoors or underground to be listed, UL doesn't have a standard to list cables for these applications. Therefore, you can use any low-voltage or limited-energy wiring outdoors or underground that's approved by the AHJ (90.4 and 110.2) (Figure).
Q. What are the Code requirements for installing an outside ceiling fan under a covered open sided porch?
There are no specific rules for outdoor fans, per se, but the general wiring methods of the Code still apply. The outlet box must be listed for the fan's weight [314.27(D)], the fan can't be installed in the shower or bathtub space as identified by 410.4(D), nor can it be installed within 5 ft of a pool, spa, or hot tub [680.22(B)]. The area under a covered deck would be a damp location (Art. 100), so be sure to use a fan approved by the AHJ (110.2).
The NEC doesn't require the ceiling fan to be listed, but if it is, then it must be installed in accordance with the listing instructions [110.3(B)].
Abandoned low-voltage and limited-energy cable is a big problem in my plant. Where in the NEC does it specify that this type of cable must be removed?
The NEC rules that require the accessible portion of abandoned cables to be removed include 640.2 for sound systems, 725.3(B) for Class 2 and 3 circuits, 760.3(A) for fire alarm cables, 770.3(A) for optical fiber cables, 800.52(B) for communications cables, 820.3(A) for coaxial cables, and 830.3(A) for network-powered broadband communications cables.
Abandoned low-voltage and limited-energy cable is neither terminated at equipment nor identified for future use with a tag (640.2, 725.2, 760.2, 770.2, 800.2, 820.2, and 830.2).
An electrician told me that I couldn't use nonmetallic sheathed cable (Type NM) to wire a hot tub/spa at my one-family home. But the salesman at Home Depot said I could. Who's right?
If the hot tub/spa is located indoors, then Type NM cable can be used as the wiring method (680.43). However, if the hot tub/spa is located outdoors, then Type NM cable can only be used for the indoor portion of the circuit [680.42(C)] and rigid nonmetallic conduit and liquid-tight flexible conduit would be required outside [680.42 and 680.42(A)].
Type NM cable isn't permitted as the wiring method to an underwater hot tub/spa light [680.23(F)(1)].
I have been asked to wire a baptismal unit that will be permanently built into the stage of a church. I have yet to find anything in the NEC that directly addresses this topic. Should I treat this as a pool, spa, or therapeutic tub?
The NEC doesn't address this issue, so it's a judgment call for the authority having jurisdiction. I would consider it an indoor hot tub/spa and apply the requirements of Art. 680, Part IV.

Y Not Festival is now accepting applications from acts keen to take to the stage at this year's event, taking place from July 31– August 2, at Pikehall, near Matlock.
Hopeful stars of tomorrow can submit entries via ynotfestivals.co.uk but must do so before April in order to be considered.
Tickets frozen at 2014's price of £84.50 are also now available through Y Not's website. However, these are strictly limited and won't be around for long.
Unsigned and up-and-coming acts are set to battle it out for one of 20 slots on the bill at 2015's Y Not.
Competition may well be fierce as last year saw over 1,800 acts apply (including Smiling Ivy, pictured above playing at the 2014 event).
Contenders should head to ynotfestivals.co.uk/bandapp to submit their applications with the winning acts hand picked by representatives from Y Not Festival and major artists from 2015's line-up. The deadline for all applications is April.
Fans looking for a wallet-friendly offer have the chance to scoop up tickets for Y Not 2015 frozen at last year's price of £84.50.
This offer is subject to limited availability and so Y Not suggests festival-goers act fast to avoid disappointment.
Previous years have featured Dizzee Rascal, Frank Turner, The 1975, Bastille and many more. As the festival prepares for its 10th year the promoters are hard at work assembling a line-up suitable for such a big occasion, further announcements will be made shortly.

One, of what will certainly be many, black eyes in the P house.
I've been struggling a
little bit lot over the past few months. Not really with my mood, but rather with the "voices" in my head. No, I'm not actually hearing anything, silly. I just mean the kind of self-defeating conversations you have with yourself when you feel like you have made a poor choice or you aren't living up to your own expectations about what being a mom and wife looks like.
My boys (ages- a couple days from 2 & 5 and 7/12- his words, not mine) are having a rough go of the sibling thing. They are at two completely different stages and have mostly different interests…except of course when one brother is playing with something- then it becomes absolutely the ONLY thing the other wants to do. 😉 Anyway, I feel more like a referee than a mom most days, and I'm fairly certain that I've been about as sweet as rotten eggs as a wife since our second became mobile. L2′s nickname is "the bionic child", and for good reason. He challenges me to my core with the physical intensity required to keep that boy safe. While being extremely independent, he is also an expert climber, jar opener, mess maker, and sharp item finder. Being awake means he's at risk for injury and so I can't leave him alone. Even for a minute. Even to pee.
L1 is at an equally delightful and challenging age. The one where his curiosity has blossomed from self endangerment (which he never really suffered from) to research. However, it also means that he asks a million questions a day and is incredibly sensitive because he is analyzing everyone's words and actions. What used to be wishy-washy playground talk by 4 and 5 year olds has become "the world is going to end because so-and-so told me he's going to lock me in the squidapod…". What in the world is a squidapod anyway???
Yesterday was a random day. My husband was out of town. A couple of friends and neighbors stopped by. The landscaper was moving mulch from some trees we had cut down last week. It was sunny and warm, but not too hot. The stuff of ordinary Wednesdays in May in Atlanta.
But, for me May 8, 2013 was extraordinary. Why? Because it was the first time in as long as I can remember that I felt like I was doing an okay job. That my boys weren't constantly in a competition to see who could irritate the other more. That I didn't feel the need to rush to beat the bedtime clock. That we just were.
This morning we slept in a little. We had just enough (but not too much) time before school to do the things we had to do. We got to school on time. Not late, but not too early for carpool, either. L2 and I came home after dropping off L1 and he and I played a bit. I cleared out my inbox a bit. We ate a bit. He actually watched part of a TV show! He brought me a shirt out of his drawer and asked to get dressed. He threw his own trash away and helped me clean up a few of his toys. We hugged and laughed and giggled. He fell down and bumped his head and instead of getting hysterical he walked over to me and asked for a hug. We snuggled.
I found some breathing room in the past 24 hours. For the first time in over a year my shoulders are not pulled up to my ears as an outward sign of the inward stress. I am breathing a bit more deeply and peacefully. I am seeing the light of what life will soon be like more regularly.
While I adore the infant phase and I am able to tolerate the toddler phase, by far, 5 years old is my favorite so far. I miss the newborn smell and the ease of a child who can't harm himself since he doesn't move much. But, I also miss being able to pee by myself. And, reading. Oh how I love books…and I miss them so.
My kids are growing older everyday. Whether I like it or not, they are rapidly changing and developing. So instead of living my life in mourning for their infancy, I am going to choose to be present and find the beauty in having older children. The contentment and freedom that come with their independence and ability to communicate their needs. The joy of finding myself again as I get to know them better.
Bless your heart 😉 ,

16-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Sunday, February 18, 1912: Went to Sunday School this afternoon. The roads are rather muddy. Went over to see Carrie this afternoon. I mean I went to Sunday School this morning. I wonder what will happen tomorrow at school I just wonder if Mr. Forest Dunkel (that's his name) is going to be stern and terrible.
Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
Forest Dunkel was going to be the new teacher at McEwensville High School. The previous teacher had quit mid-year.
As I told you several days ago, McEwensville School had a difficult time keeping teachers because of the low teacher salary. Here's a little more information about the school's financial problems:
Sometimes the school board was unable to pay the teachers at the appropriate time and could do so only when there was again enough money in the treasury. The McEwensville school board had difficulty collecting tuitions due from the directors for pupils attending from Delaware Township. At one time McEwensville even considered going to court to collect these monies, but concluded that it would not be worth the legal expense involved.
The History of the McEwensville Schools (2000) by Thomas Kramm
Grandma's family lived in Delaware Township, so she would have been one of the students that the school was having difficulty getting the township to pay for in a timely manner.
Carrie Stout was a friend of Grandma's who lived on a nearby farm.

It's become a cliché to say that the use of social media is growing rapidly. The point of Accenture's new white paper, "A Comprehensive Approach to Managing Social Media Risk and Compliance," is that this poses threats for insurers—threats that are growing faster than their risk management capabilities can handle.
Those threats are considerable. Financial institutions have had to shut down social media forums due to unanticipated negative feedback; the stock markets have been buffeted by fraudulent social network postings; businesses have had to change or rescind strategies in response to the force of social media; other businesses have suffered brand damage due to the power of social media to send negative impressions almost instantly around the world.
Much has been written about the reputational risks that social media present to corporations. But underlying these are several other types of serious risk that should be considered:
Strategic risk
Business risk
Regulatory risk
Legal risk
Market risk
If not effectively mitigated, these risks can lead to serious negative consequences including fraud, intellectual property loss, financial loss, privacy violations and failure to comply with laws and regulations.
When insurers start to evaluate their vulnerabilities to social media risks, they typically encounter a number of organizational weaknesses. To address these weaknesses, Accenture recommends a risk management approach with distinctive activities across governance, processes and systems, and augmented and supported by other activities relating to compliance, culture and leadership and performance management. This will not only mitigate the risk inherent in social media, but can become the value catalyst for realizing the full potential of a social media strategy.
A number of capabilities underpin the governance, processes and systems of effective social media risk management. These include:
A focus on leadership and culture change;
A social media risk compliance program; and
Performance management capabilities to assess effectiveness and progress toward improvement.
To advance their social media risk management capabilities, insurers should focus on five key influence points:
Assess vulnerabilities arising from social media use beyond just reputational risk.
Expand their existing risk governance structures and activities to include social media activity.
Establish advanced social media monitoring tools and technologies.
Enhance their existing performance management capabilities to analyze and act on the metrics delivered from monitoring activities.
Engage in enterprise-wide change management activities to create a more risk-aware culture.
A senior FS executive, interviewed by Accenture, noted that social media can offer considerable advantages to financial institutions. "My advice is to be bold," he said, advising firms to establish a presence on the most-used social platforms and "think about creating some cool things."
But with boldness come risks. To mitigate them, and to get more value from a social media strategy, insurers need to institute governance structures, processes and technologies that are unique to the special challenges that accompany this global phenomenon.

|Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Reference Manual Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.0
- resource type implementation for the clustered Oracle Automated Storage Management (Oracle ASM) disk group managed by Oracle Solaris Cluster
The SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource type represents the clustered Oracle ASM disk group in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration. This resource type is introduced for use starting with Oracle 11g release 2 configurations.
Note - The SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource type can only be used when using Oracle Grid Infrastructure for Clusters.
The SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource type is a multiple-master resource type. A single resource of this type can run on multiple nodes concurrently, but does not use network load balancing.
Each SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource represents a clustered Oracle ASM disk group. Each clustered Oracle ASM disk group is uniquely identified by the value of the asm_diskgroups extension property on the node where the instance is running. The Oracle ASM disk group resource should only be mounted if the Oracle ASM instance is available on the same cluster node. Additionally, Oracle ASM disk groups should only be mounted if any required storage resources are enabled on the cluster node. To ensure that these requirements are met, configure the Oracle ASM disk group resource as follows:
Create a strong positive affinity between the Oracle ASM disk group resource group and the following resource groups:
The clustered Oracle ASM resource group
Any resource group that contains storage resources for Oracle files
Create an offline-restart dependency between the clustered Oracle ASM disk group resource and the following resources:
The clustered Oracle ASM instance resource
Any storage resources for Oracle files that you are using
Create these dependencies and affinities when you configure clustered Oracle ASM disk group resources for the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Oracle data service or the Oracle Solaris Cluster Support for Oracle RAC data service.
To register this resource type and create instances of this resource type, use one of the following:
The clsetuputility, specifying the option for configuring Oracle Solaris Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters
The following sequence of Oracle Solaris Cluster maintenance commands:
To register this resource type, use the clresourcetypecommand.
To create instances of this resource type, use the clresourcecommand.
For a description of all standard resource properties, see the r_properties(5) man page.
Standard resource properties are overridden for this resource type as follows:
The extension properties of the SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource type are as follows.
This property specifies the single-instance Oracle ASM disk group. If required, more than one single-instance Oracle ASM disk group can be specified as a comma separated list.
String array
Not applicable
No default defined
When disabled
Note - All SQL*Plus and srvmgr messages that the Oracle ASM disk group resource issues are written to the log file /var/opt/SUNWscor/oracle_asm/message_log.${RESOURCE}.
This property indicates the level to which debug messages for the Oracle ASM disk-group resources are logged. When the debug level is increased, more debug messages are written to the system log /var/adm/messages as follows:
No debug messages
Function Begin and End messages
All debug messages and function Begin/End messages
You can specify a different value of the debug_level extension property for each node that can master the resource.
Any time
This property specifies the timeout value, in seconds, that the proxy monitor uses when checking the status of the clustered Oracle ASM disk group resource for which this resource is acting as a proxy.
Any time
This property specifies the interval , in seconds, between probes of the clustered Oracle ASM disk group resource for which this resource is acting as a proxy.
Any time
Example 1 Creating a scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy Resource
This example shows the commands for performing the following operations to create a scalable multi-master scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource on a two-node cluster:
Creating the asm-dg-rg resource group
Registering the SUNW.scalable_asm_idiskgroup_proxy resource type
Setting the resource group affinity
Adding the asm-dg-rs resource to the asm-dg-rg resource group
Setting the asm_diskgroups extension property for one Oracle ASM disk group
The example makes the following assumptions:
The bash shell is used.
A resource group that is named asm-inst-rg exists and contains a resource of type SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy that is named asm-inst-rs.
A resource group that is named scal-mp-rg exists and contains a resource of type SUNW.ScalMountPoint that is named scal-mp-rs, for Oracle files.

"How does it perform? In a word: amazing."
"The Audiobyte set delivers performance that you'd expect out of a truly high-end system; no surprise considering Axiom's been in the high-end audio market for a long time. The audio is crystal clear and we didn't have to turn up the volume much to get it to the point where people on the other side of the office were complaining about the racket. The subwoofer also provides a nice, deep bass response. All in all, the Audiobyte pumps out some amazing audio that really brought out the best in our music, games and movies."

Another reader of the Canadian Budget Binder blog asked the question, "Do I have to Share my RRSP with my Spouse When I get Divorced"?
In Ontario there is the Family Law Act. In simple terms all property acquired after the date of marriage, up until the time of marriage breakdown is deemed to be the property of both parties. The ownership of the property is not a factor. So in short each person is entitled to 50% of the total family property.
There are certain exceptions like the family home that was brought into the relationship or received as a gift or inheritance. However to keep things simple we will ignore this.
RRSP's, Stocks, Bonds, Pensions, are all subject to being included under Family Law. So if one spouse had a significant RRSP and the other nothing then the spouse with nothing would be entitled to 50% of the spouse's RRSP.
Note: the courts adjust the value of the RRSP down, by the amount of withholding tax that would be payable if the RRSP were cashed in. So the figure used is less than fair market value of the RRSP.
To understand this fully the courts ask each person for a statement of assets and liabilities at time of marriage and time of marriage breakdown.
In effect they are doing a net worth statement at two points in time. This is known as net family property (NFP) and the spouse with the RRSP would include it as part of their NFP.
The spouse with the higher NFP would then be required to make an equalization payment to the other spouse so that both share 50-50.
This payment does not have to come from the RRSP or a transfer of the RRSP to settle the payment obligations. It can actually come from any assets owned by the individual with the higher NFP.
Hopefully this gives you some insight on your question about an RRSP and Divorce. To learn more about Family Law, Division of Assets and calculation equalization payments visit Feldstein Family Law Group .

If choosing a floral arrangement starts to feel like a scene from "Sophie's Choice," you're suffering from wedding stress.
Even for the most reasonable bride and groom, making decisions about every tiny detail can be overwhelming. Flaky DJs, hidden venue costs or a spacey wedding coordinator can add to the drama, and even take the fun out of the wedding day.
To eliminate some of the frustrations, dozens of Orange County wedding venues are offering inclusive packages to create a one-stop-shop wedding.
"Our inclusive packages keep costs at bay and offer a beautifully orchestrated wedding and reception run by highly trained coordinators and a highly dedicated staff," says Nicole Forino, Wedding and Event Coordinator at Tivoli Terrace in Laguna Beach. "By allowing Tivoli to take care of the bigger picture, it allows the brides to DIY and personalize all of the 'extra' things that make their wedding their own."
There are several levels of wedding package offerings throughout Orange County. Some take care of every detail, down to the champagne and centerpieces, while others only include tables and chairs as part of the onsite fee.
"Be sure to ask lots of questions, tell them what you want to do for your wedding and get approval before you sign the contract," says bridal consultant Natalie Good of A Good Affair in Tustin.
So sign your name on the dotted line and let someone else stress about silverware and table runners while you eat wedding cake and boogie on the dance floor.
Dove Canyon Courtyard: Includes tables and chairs for up to 200 guests, wedding DJ and MC, LED dance lighting, dance floor, labor for equipment setup and take-down, ambient lighting, space heaters, umbrellas and on-site facility manager. Packages: $3,500-$5,000. Address: 31981 Dove Canyon Drive, Trabuco Canyon. Information: 949-858-8200, dovecanyoncourtyard.com
Tivoli Terrace: Offering both lunch and dinner menu options, the package includes flowers for ceremony decorations and centerpieces, live music for ceremony, appetizers, wedding cake, linens, wedding coordinator and free flowing beer, wine and champagne. Packages: $75-$115 per person. Address: 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach. Information: 949-494-9650, tivoliterrace.com
The St. Regis Monarch Beach: The seaside venue offers a package that includes botanical garden ceremony, hors d'oeuvres, three-course dinner, sparkling wine toast, open bar, linens, wedding cake, ten floral centerpieces, Chiavari chairs and a day of wedding coordinator.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" is a rebuttal to an argument of the form "there is no evidence for X, therefore X does not exist." Logically, the latter argument is invalid; however, a similar, more careful line of inductive reasoning can nevertheless lead to a reliable conclusion. Thus the objection may be warranted or unwarranted, depending on the circumstances.
A simple example[edit]
- An explorer lands on a remote island and sees no buildings or other signs of human habitation.
- The explorer therefore concludes that the island is uninhabited.
The conclusion here is unwarranted. There may be inhabitants on the other side of the island or in dwellings that are otherwise hidden from view. In this case, absence of evidence of habitation is not evidence that there are no inhabitants.
However, consider the following scenario:
- An explorer lands on a remote island and spends weeks carefully searching the entire island for signs of habitation.
- Finding no evidence, the explorer concludes that the island is uninhabited.
In this case, the explorer's conclusion is justified. If there were inhabitants on the island, there should be some evidence of their existence somewhere on the island. If there are no signs where there should have been some, then it is likely that there are no inhabitants.
In summary:
- When presented with some proposition P, we should initially keep an open mind. But if a diligent search fails to produce evidence that P is true, then we can rationally conclude that P is false.
Note that the "diligent search" must be of a kind that could realistically be expected to produce positive results if P were indeed true.
Scientific investigation[edit]
Science often works in a similar manner, using inference based not only on observed but also unobserved phenomena.
An example:
- A scientist develops hypothesis H explaining a certain observed phenomenon P1.
- The scientist reasons that if H is true, then a different phenomenon P2 should also be observed under certain conditions.
- When this prediction is tested, phenomenon P2 is not observed.
- Repeated tests still fail to produce phenomenon P2.
- The scientist concludes that H was not the proper explanation of phenomenon P1.
Note that even here, by strict deductive logic the conclusion still does not follow. However, when dealing with what is likely to be true, this kind of inductive logic can still be relied upon — provided the conclusions are recognized as being subject to revision upon further investigation.
Absence of evidence for God[edit]
The question of whether God exists is considered very important to many people, and has been for millennia. Thousands of people have assiduously searched for evidence that a god exists. Nonetheless, there is still no good evidence for a god. Many atheists thus feel justified in not believing that any gods exist, and in fact some feel justified in concluding that no gods exist.

[Talk presented to January RSP Marxism education conference.]
In a December 1915 introduction to Bolshevik theorist Nikolai Bukharin's book Imperialism and World Economy, Lenin wrote:
"There had been an epoch of a comparatively 'peaceful capitalism', when it had overcome feudalism in the advanced countries of Europe and was in a position to develop comparatively tranquilly and harmoniously, 'peacefully' spreading over tremendous areas of still unoccupied lands, and of countries not yet finally drawn into the capitalist vortex. Of course, even in that epoch, marked approximately by the years 1871 and 1914, 'peaceful' capitalism created conditions of life that were very far from being really peaceful both in the military and in a general class sense. For nine-tenths of the population of the advanced countries, for hundreds of millions of peoples in the colonies and in the backward countries this epoch was not one of 'peace' but of oppression, tortures, horrors that seemed the more terrifying since they appeared to be without end. This epoch has gone forever. It has been followed by a new epoch, comparatively more impetuous, full of abrupt changes, catastrophes, conflicts, an epoch that no longer appears to the toiling masses as horror without end but is an end full of horrors.

- Former WWE star Rick "The Model" Martel turns 57 years old today.
- WWE Champion The Rock is currently in London for another GI Joe 2 premiere. He tweeted early this morning:
"4:42am. London. Big day of press & premiere at famed Leicester Square - can't wait. AM cardio starts now.. #DropTheHammer #GIJOEWorldTour"
- AngryMarks.com posted the following video of Edge at a signing over the weekend meeting a disabled fan:
"Edge (Adam Copeland) clearly hasn't missed a beat after his time in WWE, because he's still generous toward the fans and appreciative of how much they support him. In this clip he gets up from the autograph table and comes down to the side of the stage to meet a fan in a wheelchair (surprisingly there was no accessible ramp) and even signs it for him! Like this video and subscribe to angrymarksdotcom for more videos. PS: Since Edge mentions Twitter in this video, you can follow him @EdgeRatedR and us @angrymarks."

Ronnie Wood's tears for star Womack
Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood today expressed his sadness that his friend Bobby Womack, the inspirational R&B singer-songwriter, has died.
The 70-year-old musician's publicist Sonya Kolowrat said Bobby had died yesterday but did not give any other details.
He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease two years ago and dealt with a number of health issues, including prostate cancer.
Ronnie tweeted: "I 'm so sad to hear about my friend Bobby Womack - the man who could make you cry when he sang has brought tears to my eyes with his passing."
He added: "My heart goes out to his family & friends and everyone who loved his music. Bobby you will be greatly missed xx"
Gospel singer Candi Staton knew Bobby since they were children and she toured with him.
"He had a style that nobody else could ever capture," she said in a statement. "I loved him and I will miss him so, so very much."
Bobby had performed recently at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee and appeared to be in good health and spirits.
The star caught the attention of the Stones in the 1960s and influenced many early rockers before fading from popular music for more than a decade.
Blur singer Damon Albarn and XL Recordings president Richard Russell helped him re-launch his career with critically-acclaimed comeback album The Bravest Man In The Universe, in 2012.
He had been scheduled to perform at various events in Europe in July and August.

Grandpa – Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days…
by Sherry Stocking Kline
First published in the Wichita Eagle's Active Life Magazine – April 2002
Getting Grandpa to talk about the "good ole' days" really isn't as hard as you might think. All you have to do is set the stage, bring along some props, and be prepared with plenty of questions.
Pat Gaddie grew up listening to her Grandpa Sam tell his Irish jingles, share stories about blue racer snakes chasing him through fields, and the wagon trip he made in 1902 when he was eighteen and his family moved from Tennessee to Oklahoma.
"He lived next door to us when I was small," Gaddie said, "and when I was eight or nine years old, he used to tell stories to entertain me."
How to Keep Them Story Telling…
Not everyone enjoys reminiscing, but if your Grandpa (or Grandma) does, here are a few tips to keep them story telling.
Decide what you want to know, make a list of questions, then ask the most important ones first.
What's your priority? Is it facts, figures, dates, and places, the who begat who and where or when, or is it the stories that you want to hear?
Are there family legends that you want to verify or clarify, or do you want to hear how he proposed to Grandma, laugh about the night he and his bride were chivareed, or see D-Day through his eyes?
Set the stage.
Old photographs and family memorabilia are great memory triggers, and can prompt a flood of memories, so bring out the high school play bills and yearbooks, wedding photos, and photographs of the plane Grandpa flew in the service. When he shows you the photo of his first car, be sure and ask him about the job he took to pay for it.
Take field trips to old schools, cemeteries, and other meaningful places, and travel to Grandpa's hometown and drive by his old schoolhouse. You may learn who put the snake in the teacher's desk, the story behind Grandpa's nickname, and more.
Remember that Grandpa's dates may be approximate, as he'll likely remember events as happening "the year of the big blizzard, the summer of the drought, or just before Beverly was born".
Bev Malone interviews older family members to flesh out stories and verify the information.
"The best way to get the stories flowing about family members is to ask about people and things, not personalities," Malone said.
Make sure your cameras, and audio or video recorders have fresh batteries, and take along spares. If you need an extra memory card for your cameras (or film) be sure to take that along, too.
"Recorders can make people nervous," Malone said, so she breaks the ice by asking, "Do you mind if I tape this? My brain can't keep it all in my head."
Take notes, just in case technology lets you down, and transcribe your notes as soon as possible.
Need help with your list of questions?
There are books that can help, such Emily Anne Croom's "Unpuzzling Your Past Workbook" with questions tailored for different decades in history, and Janice T. Dixon's "Family Focused" with question lists and suggestions to help you conduct interviews and gather information.
What's Dixon's advice in "Family Focused" to interviewers?
"Be relaxed, don't interrupt, don't contradict, and don't ask questions that can be answered with a yes or no."
"Keep the flow of conversation going," Dixon said, "you can go back and ask questions later."
Gaddie cherishes and shares her Grandpa Sam's stories with her family, a process that can add valuable information to your research as well as give you new questions to ask.
With a little planning, the next time you visit Grandpa, you may learn more about your grandfather, your parents – perhaps even yourself.

WASHINGTON, July 21 (UPI) -- U.S. House Speaker John Boehner indicated Sunday he would not be taking a more active role in pushing immigration reform legislation.
Boehner, R-Ohio, said on CBS' "Face the Nation" he was "not going to predict what is going to be on the floor and what isn't going to be on the floor.
"I can't do that, and I don't want to do that," said Boehner.
The speaker said he felt the current U.S. immigration system was "broken" and that "we have got a very big problem." He also said he would stick to his policy of keeping a light hand on the sometimes-restive House in the interest of a fair and open legislative process that would in the long run produce a better immigration bill.
"I've watched a number of speakers during my tenure here in Congress," Boehner said. "I can talk about what happened just before I became speaker. All the bills were written in the speaker's office. Those bills all turned out to be very unpopular."

Get down on your knees and pray to the new music religion sweeping the country that is Broken Witt Rebels, writes Graham Walker.
If your don't, their charismatic frontman Danny Core - who brings all the spiritual intensity of an evangelist to the stage - will do it for you.
This dynamic Birmingham quartet already have a fanatical following who are prepared to travel country wide for what is one of the best unsigned live sets I've seen.
They added to their disciples after a heaven sent set at the Rocking Chair in Sheffield.
Not that the steel city doesn't already have it's own Reverend, Jon McClure. But nice to see this young four piece preaching their own soulful brand of good old rock and roll.
I honestly felt privileged watching them in an intimate setting knowing it won't be long at this rate before they are filling stadiums with their self-penned blues-rock anthems.
Heavily influenced by Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, the band remind of Kings Of Leon with a growly, big polished sound and great riffs thanks in no small part to Luke Davis (vocals/bass), James Tranter (vocals/lead guitar), and James Dudley (drums/percussion).
Catchy, energetic, up tempo and complex sounds, full of blues and soul, but with a gritty emotion that connects with its audience. This lot have it.
But every band also needs to have a unique something and BWR's X factor is Core (vocals/rhythm guitar) and his exchange with his bandmates and crowd, a spiritual chemistry that is infectious.
He prowls on and off the stage, with a swagger that draws in and engages the audience, who he treats like a Deep South congregation, whether he's shaking a raised hand at them, dropping to his knees or even planting a kiss on one of their heads.
They opened in Sheffield with the explosive Low, from their brand new EP Georgia Pine. With its big chorus and crowd pleasing riff, superbly delivered by lead guitarist Tranter, it sets the tone for the night.
We also get the EP's dramatic title track, with its superb bass grooves, and the stomping shoot-em-up, Guns. But every song is a blessing, with highlights including aptly titled and new track God Knows, Howlin' and final track Shake Me Down, with a climax of drums, bass and guitars which only serves to shake up the crowd to cheers and whistles for more.
As Core revealed backstage before the gig - watch the full band video interview above - his evangelical style is not an act, he is simply being possessed by the muse.
"When I get up there I'm not there to be cool. I'm not into music just to look the boss. Some people say I come off stage like I'm possessed, I'm just so much into our music," says the natural showman, whose soft spoken Brummie accent and boy-next-door image off stage is in stark contrast to the powerful, gravel vocals and superstar persona when he's in front of a crowd.
"We write our own lyrics. We're a close unit, we all write together. When I'm up there it's home really. When I come off, I'm just a normal quite lad.
"A lot of people say I'm like a preacher and stuff. I don't know. I come off stage sometimes and I'll see videos and think - what happened there. I just don't know. Like what was I doing there. We're passionate. This is what we are doing it for. People give us an opportunity and we are going to own it, that's it. We're singing for our supper. We're not here to make up the numbers. We're here to take over."
Bandmates, modestly appreciative of suggestions they are the 'next big thing', know him too well. Bass player Luke said: "We let him off the leash to get on stage. When he's off stage we just tie him back down."
SET LIST: Low; Cloud My Day; Howlin'; Georgia Pine; God Knows; Come On Over; Guns; Shake Me Down.

Maxon Motor has released a new compact digital controller with EtherCAT that allows for real-time positioning and high-speed synchronization of multi-axis systems, including robotics, automation, and mechantronics, according to the company.
Switzerland-based precision drive and system provider Maxon designed the
EPOS3 70/10 EtherCAT to fit seamlessly as a slave device into real-time EtherCAT protocol-based networks with a nominal power-supply voltage range from 11V DC to 70V DC, the company said. A slave device in a master/slave communication model takes direction from the system's master device.
Specifically, the new controller features a continuous output current of 10A and can deliver up to 25A during acceleration and deceleration for DC and EC motors with a power range up to 700W. It also supports a broad number of encoders and servos, featuring built-in motor filters with motor chokes for EMC-conform operation. Additionally, the controller comes with prefabricated cables and other accessories for fast and easy deployment, according to Maxon.
The company has optimized the EPOS3 70/10 EtherCAT's motion control functions with additional features such as speed control and the ability to define mechanical positioning. The controller also eliminates the need for an extra EtherCAT I/O module because of its number of inputs and outputs. Specifically, the controller has 11 digital inputs and five digital outputs, with two analog inputs and one analog output.
The controller also offers a number of protections against temperature or voltage problems, with circuitry against overcurrent, excess temperature, undervoltage and overvoltage, as well as against voltage transients and against short-circuits in the motor cable, according to Maxon. It also has an adjustable current limitation to protect motor and load, as well as protected digital inputs and outputs.
EtherCAT -- short for Ethernet for Control Automation Technology -- is an open-standard, high-performance fieldbus system based on Ethernet that's used in industrial environments, especially for robotics and other automated assembly-line technology. The technology processes Ethernet frames on the fly within an EtherCAT network, which are being adopted more and more as the standard for industrial environments as a way to unify the factory floor with front-office functions.
Companies more and more are integrating EtherCAT support into microcontrollers to support the automation and control of multiple connected motors and devices in an industrial network. Aerotech, for example, recently
added EtherCAT to its machine controller to allow engineers build high- and low-power digital and analog I/O into a system that includes performance motion, motion tools, and diagnostics all in one.

For basically ever, we've been a family of Routine when it comes to Christmas frivolity. Embarrassingly so. Like a border collie who reacts to some primal imperative and spends hours running around in the same circle. For all the years before I was married, and even a few afterward, we seldom diverted from the following Yuletide schedule:
- Attend Christmas Eve church service. Endure tacky skit enacted by Self-Proclaimed Super-Cool Reverend Who Can Speak To Today's Youth. Sing "Silent Night" with lit candles raised overhead. Enjoy the beauty of the scene while playing out pyromaniacal scenarios in my head.
- Drive home past all the houses with the tackiest Christmas decorations. Including the one that took us miles out of our way but was totally worth it, because the lawn and roof were chock-a-block with life-size figurines. The neighbors must have felt they were sleeping next to the Golden Nugget.
- Arrive home for cheese fondue, using Nixon-Era fondue set, complete with avocado-green pot and decrepit, color-coded forks.
- Awake before parents. Harass parents Noriega-style until they get the hell up.
- Open stockings and one--ONE--present from beneath the tree.
- Eat breakfast. Sneak seconds of Mom's sour-cream coffee cake.
- Open gifts one at a time, while Mom chronicles Who Gave Whom What for purposes of thank-you notes.
- Take family picture among wrapping detritus. Strive for Candid Joy Shot by stuffing wrapping paper down siblings' pajama pants.
And so this was, for decades. It was easy to take for granted; everyone in my immediate family lived within an hour of each other, and we were flexible enough to accommodate in-law obligations.
Traditions have eroded over the past few years, though, and this year they're mostly gone. My brother has moved to the West Coast. My sister is about to move and living in boxes. Mom has bronchitis. And my kids are with Mama. All of this bodes for a very low-key Dec. 25 at the parents' place tomorrow. For me, it's not even like we're celebrating Christ's birthday (which it isn't, anyway). It's more like what's left of the family is getting together because we all have the day off.
The season is still special, though. And now that family traditions are no longer a given, I know I want more than ever to relive them. Perhaps one day, all the people I love will spend Christmas under the same roof, stabbing each other with fondue forks. As for this year, which will be known in the LOD annals as the Year of Flux, I'm content to eat coffee cake with the skeleton crew. And think of all my loved ones who are scattered all across the country and who, I'm grateful to say, know who they are.
