Over the past few weeks, Andrew has been working on a new feature for version 0.9 which we've kept under wraps until now. This feature will make Alfred the most useful app in your household; it will help you communicate effectively with your community and influence what happens behind closed doors. Alfred will be more powerful than ever before.
So without further ado, here's a sneak peak of "Neighbours", the greatest feature for Alfred yet:
"Neighbours" feature
With the new "Neighbours" feature, no house will ever be an island again. Just use the keyword "neighbour"* inside the main Alfred window and choose from the available list of neighbourhood computers.
Once you've chosen a computer to connect to, use Alfred with the keywords and shortcuts that you're used to. Alfred will help you quickly find documents on your neighbour's Mac or PC. Check out Jimmy's latest school report card, connect to their music library, or copy over the files you have been chatting about.
Security & hassle free
Because we are using new Universal Powerline Cloud™ technology, Alfred will be able to effortlessly connect to your neighbours networks and computers without having the hassle of authentication. Even better, Alfred doesn't need to be running on their computer (Mac or PC) to be able to browse and search their files.
It's convenient and fast and you'll never have to wait for your neighbour to take the time to send the files over! Just pop into Alfred, quickly identify the file you want, maybe take a peek at what they have been up to over the past few days and you are done, without them even having to know.
We give you Alfred Neighbours – Bringing you and your neighbours much closer together.
* As Alfred is a true English butler, you are required to spell it "neighbour". No alternative keyword will be accepted.

Article—Three People in a Room: Dr. David Bullard on Couples in Therapy
with Dr. David Bullard and Zesho Susan O'Connell
in the Conference Center at 308 Page Street
Sunday, August 16, 2015
10 am - 4 pm
(CE credits available—see note* below)
Disappointments, arguments and fights, feeling misunderstood and distant from one another, getting or giving the "silent treatment"—we often find these dynamics woven into interactions with the family, friends and partners we love and care for.
This workshop will provide roadmaps for having healing conversations after the breakdowns created by disappointment or anger in intimacy. We will examine roadblocks to closeness and the healing that deep listening provides, together with other specific ways to help us break through the impasses often experienced in emotionally close relationships. In addition to discussion, we will use group and dyadic exercises and brief personal writing to help us become more present and to increase resilience after reactivity and defensiveness, all while deepening our wisdom and compassion.
What People Are Saying about David & Susan's Workshops
Together we will study how to better engage and embody relevant Zen practices, paired with practical teachings learned from many years of helping couples have deeper conversations and healing.
Singles as well as couples, therapists and non-ists are most welcome.

American resilience was once again tested last week in Boston, when bombs erupted and caused injury, panic, and havoc to innocent bystanders cheering Boston Marathon participants at the finish line.
Flags waved at half-staff at municipalities, police and fire departments, and even churches throughout the country. It was not different in Elkin.
According to police, the suspects related to the Boston Marathon bombings are either deceased or are in custody. A surviving suspect remained in serious condition in a Boston hospital on Sunday, unable to speak due to injuries to his neck and tongue sustained while on the run from police, officials said.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has been unable to interview Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis told CBS television. Authorities may never be able to speak with him, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said.
Closer to home, fire officials gave their perspective on what it takes to respond to a potential tragedy.
"We don't have that obvious exposure, but we train for the hit," said Tommy Wheeler, chief of the Elkin Fire Department. Wheeler expressed condolences for those who lost their lives in the bombing. "I just think that it if ever comes time for something as senseless at that over here, we're prepared to apply the knowledge of what needs to get done."
"It's an eerie connection to 9-11 and what first responders had to deal with," said Austin fire Chief Billy Vanhoy, who was handing out pork dinners at the volunteer firehouse fundraiser held on Saturday. "Though it was not at the 9-11 scale, nobody from around here can even make sense of what happened in Boston. And you have to wonder what else, and where."
According to Chief Vanhoy, he says that everyone in his department wouldn't even think twice and would respond, even if it were in Boston with the likelihood of a third bomb going off.
"Rescuing people is what we do," said Chief Vanhoy. "And that's why we spend so much time with each other; it requires constant training. Sometimes we have to spend more time with each other than our families. We hate pointing to tragedies, but we have to prepare."
"Firefighters are there to step into any situation. I know the first thing you do is look out for those around you. Most of the time you can run into an emergency situation and you're not worried about yourself. Protecting lives is first. Then its property. Then its yourself. The dangers are there," said Chief Wheeler.
"I hope we never have anything like that around here though," said Chief Wheeler.
Chief Wheeler was about to make another comment, but a loud beeping noise interrupted the conversation.
"That's an emergency call. We have to respond," he said.

Over the past year musicians in Nederland have noticed a slight ease of stress. I couldn't count how many times I've seen a guy or gal hustling all over the bar asking everybody they can think of if they have any extra strings, a drum key, a mic cable, a saxophone reed, or any number of other little musical necessities that tend to creep up at a gig. That ease came with the opening of Brightwood Music

Are the Germans 'Always' There?
(Why not man)
[See btw the clip at the head of the previous post]
Carla Shodde from Australia has some German DNA among the rest. A 'budding Classicist', as she phrased it, she is probably more than that.
We had a good dialogue at her place (see below. Here the original, not pruned, one.)
Another conversation had occurred here with Sledpress (another German, from US Virginia, this time,) which will be published as Dialectics 5, the last cherry on the pie in some way.
Why cherry on the pie?
Because Sled is a valuable writer (I have a notebook with many of her sentences since I am an aspiring non mother tongue writer in English,) she has been very much present in almost ALL discussions here and elsewhere, she being a valuable polymath (with high-level musical knowledge also,) capable of talking about everything (as our blogosphere small slice attests) … but most of all:
She has a VERY BAD temper ;-)
Which of course (any passion being powerful) is a big part of her charm and her being very good: as a writer, dialectic commentator, friend, musician (and real soul.)
Why We Love The Germans
At this point, after Easter Monday (when the exchange with The Virginian and other stuff will be already here), given the present crisis of the Euro zone, we think it'll be high time to say aloud (from us, from many other Italians):
"Why we love the Germans and will continue to love them!"
In the meanwhile: Carla Shodde.
Impiety Among Philosophers
Carla thus presents her work and studies:
"To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child." – Cicero, Ad Brutum. Carla recently finished first-class Honours in Classics, writing a thesis on accusations of impiety among philosophers in Greece and Republican Rome. She loves ancient art, ancient history, theology and pretty much anything to do with the Romans."
MoR: "Great post. About to repost the other one, I might repost this one as well, though I'm not sure, I am overwhelmed by business, family (my strength,) and my mentor's 'an article a day in languages that are not your own' rule.
You are a scholar, a beginning scholar, perhaps, but hats-off scholar nonetheless. Ciao
[PS: hai per caso qualche stilla di sangue italiano? Carla è un nome italiano]"
Carla Shodde: "Thanks so much for reblogging the other post! You can reblog whatever you like, when you want to. :) And thanks for the encouragement, I would love to cultivate scholarship in Classics.
And actually, I don't have any Italian blood, but my parents named me after my German great-grandfather Carl. They thought I was going to be a boy but when I was born a girl, they named me Carla. Italian is a beautiful language though and I wish I knew more."
MoR: "Sorry I'll be the usual Italian chatter-box. My thoughts come in floods, am too tired to prune and I proceed from chaos to order – my cognitive style, aspiring towards dialectics.
This exchange in fact, should you say yes, I'd love to publish over at my blog as Dialectics 4.
I'll prune my texts of course but not much, this being the MoR plus I'd love you to reply extensively (in case you can and want) – the exchange of ideas resulting hopefully more stimulating for readers.
This being fussily said
o_O …
Carla: "I would love to cultivate scholarship in Classics"
The personal opinion of a dilettante is that 'you can' lol become what you want if you really want it. You have 'la stoffa' (what it takes.)
You are creative, have passion but most of all you have discipline. Talent without discipline is zero.
A scholar I have not become (just a quirky researcher) for lack of guidance since I was abandoned to grow by myself like a weed (and am still, in the good sense though I hope, 1. Christianity and religions plus 2. intellectual curiosity helping.)
A Master Shows
I found the latter (2) after an encounter at 24 – id est a Master and inspiring polymath to whom I owe a lot and whom I call Magister διδάσκαλος, here.
The former (1) came after some study of the Ancient Roman religions (I liked that post of yours where you criticize those who consider the Ancient Roman religion void of emotions, of mysticism, simply formulaic (a total moronity imo.)
Via some study of cults, gods, goddesses and the mysteries etc. I realised how Roman Christianity was, plus Christianity was one of the several mysteries too (you might not agree here.)
A powerful blend, the ancient Roman religion – no need to tell you – which together with Christianity can provide strength and consolation. I am more Christian than Pagan, incidentally; although we ALL here, and elsewhere – eg some areas of the Roman Empire's ex provinces – are (one may like it or not) a bit pagan.)
Let me add it is so refreshing to see a young woman – the age of my two daughters – so very 'well' doing what she does, and a real polyglot too (mandarin, wow, and German; Latin and Greek being of course necessary.)
Carla: "Actually, I don't have any Italian blood, but my parents named me after my German great-grandfather Carl. They thought I was going to be a boy"
Italian is bastard Latin so I don't think you'll have difficulties though my advice, you being a polyglot, is considering Interlingua instead.
Interlingua (official web site) is not artificial like Esperanto. It is 'biological'; and, most importantly, it was conceived by solid scholars as a modern form of Latin.
For which purpose? [one might ask] English is already the lingua franca of a vast portion of the world.
A Fascinating vacation.
No 'Direct' contact with natives?
Ok, but take a woman from New York for example (all English speaking people we Italians btw call 'Anglo-Saxons', even those not wearing furs anymore – the others having passed away many centuries ago (stole this from an English guy living in Milan).
Now it turns this woman and her husband are planning a long trip to, say, Brasil, Spain, Italy and have desire to get to know the natives in a non-mediated-via-English way, ie, a more direct, 'cultural', way.
[As a side note, English is not much spoken the more ancient the country is (apart from India, naturally) : Romans for ex. have this couldn't-care-less attitude thinking they are so darn universal – and they are, accepting everybody with open heart but at the same time being scared by other cultures plus also feeling superior but behaving like provincials who think they are gas nobles, or gods.]
In any case the said couple has only one solution: even if the trip will occur in 3 years (yes, they plan years in advance, the Americans lol) they nonetheless must frantically TOIL eg learn Portuguese on the first year, Spanish on the second year, and Italian on the third.
It can be done, but it's a hard path especially until the half of it, then Latin underlying the 3 languages will make things easier.
[Getting Big Deal Man, I know
^^' ]
Interlingua: Many Languages
at the Same Time
There is another exciting solution: learning Interlingua. It'll take 2-3-4 months in the worst cases (or just a few weeks,) after which the couple will be able to understand and talk directly (via Interlingua) to Brasilians, Spanish and Italians, who will 70% understand them even if they never heard of Interlingua before.
Carla Shodde: "That's really interesting – I've never heard of a language called Interlingua before, but it is nice that it uses Latin-based words to connect various Romance languages together.
I've been fantasising about learning early Germanic languages like Anglo-Saxon, so that I could possibly connect English and German together at their Germanic roots. A friend of mine is learning Gothic and is really enjoying the language. I'd love to read an Anglo-Saxon gospel book some day.
MoR: "By studying several cults & gods goddesses and the mysteries etc. I realised how 'Roman' Christianity was"
I am Christian, and I find the study of pagan theology fascinating. I believe in one God, as did the fathers of the Church, and I do not worship other gods, as it would be a deep betrayal of the sanctity of God.
While I am not a pagan, I still find pagan Roman theology interesting, both as a counterpoint for early Christian apologetics and as a subject in its own right.
"Christianity was not
a mystery religion"
Regarding Mystery Cults: I follow the most recent and well researched wave of scholarship, which concludes that Christianity was not a "mystery religion" in the same vein as, say, the Mithras cult.
"The evidence we have been examining suggests that there was little contact between Christianity and mystery cults at any time. This contrasts with a long-established scholarly tradition that tried to find considerable influence of mystery cult on Christianity. Often the debate was as much to do with contemporary concerns as with the distant past. So, for example, it suited Protestant polemicists to argue that the 'primitive Christianity' of the early church was corrupted by the incorporation of rites and doctrines drawn from non-Christian mystery cults… And it suited critics of Christianity as a whole to claim that many elements of Christianity, including the sacramental rituals of baptism and holy communion, were taken over directly from Mithraism." – Hugh Bowden, Mystery Cults of the Ancient World, Princeton University Press (2010) p.207
"Pagan Theology: Overlooked"
I like studying pagan theology. I think it has been so often overlooked in modern studies of Roman paganism. Instead of viewing religion as a religion (i.e. a proposed way for reasonable humans to interact with a divine being or beings) people want to see religion only as a coded way of expressing sexism, elitism or some other secular or political goal that reflects narrow-minded modern concerns. I find it very surprising that some prominent scholars who study Roman religion have openly said they are contemptuous of all religion. Little wonder that it so commonly said that Roman religion was invented for the sake of empty traditionalism alone, or that it was a tool to manipulate the unthinking masses. I think Roman religion, at least in philosophical texts and grave inscriptions, meant much more to the people than just empty rituals."
Answer to a complex question:
Found in the Holy Week?
MoR: "Well, gosh, wow. This will keep my brain juices working for a while I'll admit. Not for long though. And I always (90%) come back. I spot some German determination. Schodde —> Schotte? Good. I'm a Bach wrestler since I was 19
:? "
MoR: "Dear Carla, I like dialectics, as you & others know too well, id est Diskurs als argumentativer Dialog so my lateinisch discursus feedback, LOL, will be:
The answer to your very-German reply is to be found, in my view, in the Holy Week (Ἁγία καὶ Μεγάλη Ἑβδομάς) where Christians celebrate the events related to the last days of Jesus – passion, death and resurrection, among the rest.
Last Sunday I was feeling tense, tired. Therefore for some weird reason I randomly chose a Church (every 5 meters we have one in Rome) and had the luck to find a real shepherd speaking from 'a heart' and from a sound-theological-knowledge (as far as I can tell) brain, as well.
I'll say I was moved to tears twice but since I never believed in signs, in the past, it is unlikely I will believe in them, in the future.

revolution is the name you give the riots you like
It's become an instant cliche-- if the protests in London were happening in Iran, everybody's blog would be covered in green ribbons. The question is, why the difference?
Because, dear reader, many of the self-same people who have such considerable solidarity for the Iranians don't see Persians as fully human. The condescension inherent in blogger head-patting of protesting Iranians was apparent from the jump. The source of that condescension was, in part, explained by the simple fact that most first world people find any populist expression of discontent threatening; it gives the lie to our own constant self-aggrandizing narratives of being a free people. Truly free people take to the streets. Those who find succor in playing pretend organize a committee. (And the criticism is apt of me too: I am not in the streets.) In the face of this discomfort, the actual on the ground disagreements between protesters and government are stripped away and reduced to a simplistic struggle between good and evil. Because we live without tyranny, casting the Iranian (or Syrian, etc.) conflict as a mere matter of good people vs. bad tyranny removes the unthinkable implied judgment.
This is simply true: there was more than a little violence involved in the Green Revolution, despite the desperate need among American politicos to argue the contrary. There are socialist elements within the Green Revolution. There is a comfort with religious governance that is quite at odds with American "classical liberal" sentiment. The Green Revolution is not and has never been the perfectly lily-white expression of Enlightenment values that it has been made out to be.
No, guilt ridden white first-world bloggers (of whom, generally speaking, I am a member) love protests in Syria and Iran and elsewhere because they can cast those people, members of an alien culture, race, and religion, as the perfect representations of resistance while totally stripping them of the actual thorny reality of political rage. Theocratic preferences are stripped away; violent behavior (and there was much in the Green Revolution, if you looked beyond the headlines) is ignored; the re-instantiation of sexist Islamic doctrine within the structures of protest movements are conveniently elided. This is the way of all patronizing attitudes from the overclass towards resistance: in order to preserve its romanticized view, it has to occlude the particular grievances and goals that make the protest meaningful in the first place. So the American civil rights movement becomes not a matter of black people undertaking both nonviolent and violent protest against a hideously racist system, animated at times by straightfoward ethnic nationalism, but a whitewashed, toothless prayer meeting where a rainbow coalition destroyed evil with protest songs. So India's righteous rejection of British domination is stripped of the violent religious conflict that attended its entire history.
Support for the Iranian resistance, with some exceptions, was one of those rare moments where people across ideologies came together in the blogosphere. Who could fail to stand with a people rejecting a thuggish and corrupt theocracy? I couldn't. But the realist in me insists that it was a moment of unity precisely because the protests had been stripped of all content. There was no disagreement about the movement because the movement was so taken out of context by condescension and guilt that there was nothing there to disagree about. That writers constantly sought out the elements of the resistance who expressed opinions that were palatable to liberal western audiences was as inevitable as it was distorting.
Does any of this mean that I now don't support the Iranian resistance? Of course not. It means that my support is founded ultimately on the principles of resistance themselves. It means that the beliefs and consequences of that resistance are, on balance, beyond my capacity to fairly judge. And it means that there is always a substantial risk of righteous resistance to oppressive governments becoming itself a vehicle of oppression. We have a very bad habit in this country of supporting the autonomy of oppressed peoples only when geopolitically convenien; that's the classic critique of realism, after all, and a powerful one. Yet I find something similar in the opinions of decent American liberals as they chew over the propriety of various resistance movements; in elevating or denouncing their interpretation of the values of various foreign protest movements, they confer precisely the moral authority of the West that so many of these movements reject. When I have argued about the Libyan revolution, I have tried to argue against American intervention by pointing out all that could go wrong, while not judging the actual content of the Libyan rebels themselves. I'm sure I've failed. And I'm equally sure that my criticisms here aren't lacking in incoherence, condescension, and white guilt.
(I read about that Zapatista movement and I support it. I think harder and think that they don't care about my support. It is a tension I am willing to own.)
Oh, and-- never underestimate the simple fear of angry people, particularly angry black and brown people, in the first world mind. "They're smashing windows and stealing DVD players" is about as direct of a dog whistle as I can imagine. And while Tehran seems a million miles away in the American mind, London might as well be main street. (That's where we took our honeymoon, Francine!) Violent protest in the streets of a major Anglophone city scares people who live in major Anglophone cities. (For contest, you might consider the historical narrative about black American riots in the 1960s, and how they were an unpleasant but inevitable result of a violently racist system, to attitudes towards the London riots.)
In that vein, the typical forces will insist "but Freddie! You can't possibly support this horror!" And I will say to you the same thing I will say to you regarding the Green Revolution: the idea that I am morally equipped to judge the consequences of all of that rage is exactly the paternalism that any protest movement rejects. Do I, in some distant sense, condone smashing windows and burning cars? I do not. Do I think that my moral judgment in that instance has any real valence when it comes to judging the larger motives of the riots in London? I do not. The brutal rape of Lara Logan opened a fissure in the standard, pleasing Western vision of made-for-TV Egyptian resistance. It reminded us that there is no such thing as moral coordination in combat, that there is no such thing as safe upheaval, and that the search for righteousness in violence is a game of willful blindness. That Logan's rape was an inexcusable crime seems obvious to me. What moral lessons about Egyptian revolution I could meaningfully draw from that act, I couldn't tell you.
For that reason, for the reason of the utter collapsing of my own capacity for meaningful judgment within the confines of protests that don't ask for or care for my blessing, I am sympathetic to those who think that they can perfectly judge. The only thing that bothers me is the pretense, here. The pretense that, were this exact behavior to happen in a regime that the United States is unfriendly with, there would be an equally pedantic focus on which windows get smashed and who gets robbed and whether it's fair game to throw at rock at cops-- that's what bothers me. Because it involves a holistic view of both Middle Eastern protests and first world riots that is vastly distorting of both. Because it assumes that financially secure bloggers sitting at computer screens thousands of miles away (like me) can fairly and neutrally judge the anger of distant people enraged by the status quo. Because it suggests that our discrimination is greater than our prejudice. Because it flatters us with its assurance that our opinions are formed by principle and not by signalling.
I don't know what the lesson here is, except to say that when we become enraptured by our own goodness, funneled through the conduit of expressing support for revolution in foreign countries, we should pause, and remind ourselves that this little piece of reflected glory comes with a price.

I don't know what the lesson here is
You got that right, chief. But here's one hint - the rioting in Britain has less to do with political unrest than it does simple thuggery and the desire to steal some stuff. But don't let little details like that stop you from comparing it to serious political activity. And FYI - I know you like to talk a good game about being a socialist and all, but I suspect Marx would know the apolitical lumpenproletariat when he saw them.

No need to worry about your lack of perfect knowledge here Freddie; somefeller has it.

It is very easy to lump together violent political actions with those who take advantage of the situation for their own thuggery. Distinguishing the two acts and their distinct messages is difficult, and not the goal of local and international media in reporting on the case of the London riots.
If I recall, Egyptian state new's characterization of events in Tahrir Square are not that different from the BBC's coverage of London's riots. Both organizations are trying to support a specific outcome with a predefined message.
Judge the London rioters, Somefeller, but realize that the London and Egypt might not be as different as they appear.

- August 10, 2011 at 8:01 AM
I dunno...this post doesn't seem as well thought out as some of Freddie's others. I'm not even sure what he's trying to say.
We can't pass any sort of judgement of any kind on explosions of public protests because we sit at a comfortable distance that allows us to paper over the moral ambiguities and uncertainties that such situations are always fraught with? Okay, that makes sense.
But you seem to be suggesting an equivalence between what's going on in Britain right now and the Green movement. Why? I know you hate the brand of modern capitalism that is currently practiced in the West, but I fail to see how it follows that violent protests against a democratically elected government in Britain (if that is what's going on - it really doesn't seem clear to me) must be judged in the exact same manner as violent protests against a vicious, theocratic dictatorship in Iran.
Maybe I'm missing your point.

The argument that the Parliament is a democratically elected government which, by virtue of some electioneering, cannot possibly merit the same opprobrium as that which is obviously due the electorally validated Ayatollahs - it amuses.
The unquestioned assumption that elections also alter the permanence of, well, fairly permanent governing secretariats and bureaucracies - also amusing.

Eh, I don't know why. In the same way that any history is a history of the present, any account of the present is going to be situated in some context, even if that context is at a remove from the events.
In other words, the interpretation in the U.S. of riots in London is itself political, and the polis it pertains to is American.
In further other words, there's no Truth about London or the Green Revolution. But, you know, who cares?
- August 10, 2011 at 6:46 PM
Martin Luther King seems to have pretty much summed up my reaction already:
"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard."
- August 10, 2011 at 11:44 PM
The main reason why Britain is treated so differently than the "Arab Spring" is probably the lack of political signs being displayed. Just saw the news here and the journalist said "Not one of them is carrying a sign asking for anything" his conclusion was something like "So they must be thugs who like to rob". And people are buying it, the riots are an end in itself, caused by angry criminals with too much time at their hands. "They steal LCDs and HiFi-equipment and that's all they want". Well maybe it is. But maybe 'their' behavior is just a symptom of a society so inequal on so many levels... Just remember Andrew Sullivan describing his vacation in the UK: Basically having been to the right school as a teen gurantess that you know half of the british parliament or cabinet... And those people keep on telling that through hard work you too can become one of them. When Americans speak of the incestious Washington elite, London (and for that matter Paris) are probabyl at least on the same level...
On a sidenote: Isn't it amazing how easily the conclusion in the BBC is made from "Oh, so you understand why 'they' are doing this" to "So you support what they are doing"?
- August 11, 2011 at 6:31 AM
I think Britain should take up the offer from Iran, who offered to send "human rights monitors" to make sure the riots are "handled" humanely.

check this righteous paragraph from hari kunzru-
Early in the evening, watching social media, I was seeing variants of the same joke: "I'm in Chiswick/Hampstead/Dulwich Waitrose and there's a RIOT! They've run out of POLENTA!" The smug sense of disconnection (this is nothing to do with me, or my comfortable middle-class life – it is an affair of the poor, in places I choose not to go) was soon replaced by panic. "WHERE IS THE ARMY?" […] How easy it would be to install fascism in this creaky little country! No need to torch the Reichstag – all you'd have to do would be to burn a few more sports shops.
it was AMAZING i tell you how quickly supposed ""liberals"" began calling for the deployment of the army, & as though with no understanding of the momentousness of the prospect of its contending with citizens on the streets of the capital.

Forget blowing up a doomsday asteroid with nuclear bombs. We probably won't even see it coming.
David Ewalt reports on asteroid 99942 Apophis, a hunk of space rock discovered back in 2004 that astronomers said had "a small chance" of collision "with the Earth in the year 2029, causing an explosion equivalent to 1480 megatons of TNT–nearly 30 times larger than the biggest hydrogen bomb ever detonated."
We had a "close pass" with the asteroid yesterday—veering around 9 million miles close to our planet.
According to Ewalt, scientists are now claiming the asteroid is about 20% bigger than they first thought, and even though it's still not likely that Apophis will collide with our planet, if it did the impact would be even more dire. The near pass should help scientists project collision likelihood well into the future.
Apophis is what we refer to as a Near Earth Object (or NEO.) NEOs are "small objects in the solar system (asteroids and short-period comets) with orbits that regularly bring them close to the Earth and which, therefore, are capable someday of striking our planet," according to NASA.
What's actually frightening about NEOs is that there are actually lots and lots of them that we don't even know about. 99942 Apophis is an outlier not because it could theoretically hit Earth, but because we know about it in the first place. Scientists tagged it as a possible 2029 collision. That's quite a few years to formulate some sort of defense.
So how much warning will we really have if an asteroid is about to hit Earth? The answer is pretty grim.
"With so many of even the larger NEOs remaining undiscovered, the most likely warning today would be zero," NASA informs us. We would see nothing at all until suddenly, just as the impact occurred, we noticed a "flash of light and the shaking of the ground as it hit." Then poof.
Compared to the sudden, unanticipated impact, "if the current surveys actually discover a NEO on a collision course, we would expect many decades of warning. Any NEO that is going to hit the Earth will swing near our planet many times before it hits, and it should be discovered by comprehensive sky searches like Spaceguard. In almost all cases, we will either have a long lead time or none at all."
Apophis obviously falls into the "many decades" camp, though it's unlikely it will hit Earth in our lifetime.
The more likely scenario? I'll be typing a post like this one when suddenly "a flash of light and the shaking of the ground" and then…well you get the picture.
Not much fanfare, I'll admit, but life is usually stranger—and more abrupt—than the movies.

After two turnovers in their opening win over Alcovy and three in a loss to Mary Persons in their second game, the Greyhounds had none last Friday night and rolled to a 50-20 win over Putnam County in their home opener to improve to 2-1. Putnam dropped to 2-2.
Senior halfback Undre Williams ran for four touchdowns and 140 yards on only 10 carries to lead the Jones County offense, helping the Greyhounds offset a 235-yard rushing effort on 34 carries by Putnam's Ladarien Reeves.
The victory was also the 100th as a varsity coach for Jones County's Dwight Jones, and his players celebrated by dousing him with ice water as time expired, and his assistant coaches presented him with a game ball commemorating the event.
"This isn't about me," Jones said of the 100th victory in his 21st season as a head coach. "I've been blessed to have a lot of good players and great assistant coaches through the years, and they're the reason we could get here. My daddy used to tell me even a blind hog finds an acorn some of the time. You keep at it long enough and the wins come. But I don't think Robert Davis (second on Georgia's all-time victory list with 352 in 36 years) or Charlie Winslette (260 wins in 34 years) have anything to worry about. I learned a lot from both of them, but I don't think I can hang around long enough to catch them.

Firefighter denies arson chargeJune 10,2014Firefighter denies
arson charge
A firefighter denied in court Monday that he tried to burn down his house in March.
Ethan L. McArdle, 33, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of arson in the first degree and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment.
The former Carver Street resident, who now lists a Shoreham address, appeared in court on a citation and remains free on conditions that prohibit him from possessing any accelerants, explosive devices or materials capable of starting fires — except those required for his employment or the mowing of his mother's lawn.
McArdle, in an initial interview with investigators, denied any knowledge of how the March 31 fire started inside his home, but later admitted to starting the fire after Vermont State Police canine Biscuit detected the presence of accelerants in the area where the fire started.
McArdle, who served as a volunteer firefighter in Shoreham, told police that he had no financial motive, but that he simply did not like the house. McArdle also confessed to an insurance adjuster and a fellow firefighter with the Shoreham Fire Department, according to affidavits, and also sent a text to his wife confessing to starting the fire.

NEWPORT–It was a rough Friday of football for the North Country Falcons, as they lost a one-sided contest to the St, Johnsbury Hilltoppers 59-18 under the lights at Veterans Field.
"We started out playing our game and I think we surprised them a little bit," said NCU coach Tim Simoneau. "We are coming across some pretty serious adversity this week with our injuries. I am not making excuses, but it is what it is."
For the full story, see the Express on 10-13-14.
NCU 2, Lyndon 0
LYNDON CENTER–The North Country Falcons continued their dominance over Caledonia Country-based teams on Saturday, as they came out ready to play from the get-go and picked up a win against the Vikings.
"We were strong from the opening seconds of the game right until the very end," said NCU coach Chantelle Bouchard. "We got the start that we have been looking for these past few games and dominated the whole way. It was a fantastic game to watch."
CRAFTSBURY-The Craftsbury Lady Chargers were able to push their win streak to four on Thursday afternoon, as they snuck past the Winooski Lady Spartans by a 2-0 margin.
Craftsbury coach Casey McGill on how the team has kept up their winning ways, "The main thing I've been telling the girls is to move up the field as a unit, and us starting to fill those gaps is what has helped us play well consistently."
For the full story, see the Express on 10-13-14.
NEWPORT–With the skies opening up and raining falling down on the field, North Country forward Morgan Greene scored with 3:13 left in the first overtime session to give the Falcons a huge 2-1 win over the St. Johnsbury Hilltoppers on Thursday afternoon.
"This was amazing and you can quote me on that," said NC coach Chantelle Bouchard. "The girls did not want to give anything up. This is their home and they wanted to win."

Staff Reports
NEWPORT–Tuesday was a tough night to be a North Country soccer fan.
The Falcons welcomed in Mount Mansfield for an under the lights doubleheader of Division I soccer action, but despite their best laid plans, things did not go the home team's way.
First up was the NCU girls, and prior to the game the Falcons' seniors, Brooke Breault, Kathryn Daigle, Madeline Ferorelli, Emilie Paul and Mykayla Tanguay, were honored for their time with the team.
CABOT-An intense showdown took place when the Craftsbury Chargers were hosted by the Cabot Huskies in a division IV soccer match.
The Charger dominated early, but would falter down the stretch, allowing 4 goals in the second half en route to a disappointing 4-3 loss.
Early on in the match it became evident that the game would be a tight one, as teams exchanged shots and possession at an even rate.
NEWPORT–After a shaky start to their contest against the Missisquoi Valley Union Thunderbirds, the North Country Falcon field hockey team ramped up their game in the second half, scoring four unanswered goals to come away with a 4-1 win to improve to 7-1 on the year.
"In the first half we progressively got better, but that didn't happen until the second time-out, but we played flat," said NC coach Chantelle Bouchard. "I told them that they had to come out and play hard in the second half because we knew (MVU) was coming for blood."
THETFORD-You know you've built something special when just about every kid who raced for NC cross country at Woods Trail on Sat. had at least one family member attend the XC meet in the pouring down rain with over 3 hours of round trip driving time.
It goes further since a number of the families stayed around longer just to see Samuel Brunnette pick up his 3rd place plaque. Through our trials of miles, we have built a lasting bond.
ORLEANS–The Lake Region boys welcomed in the Winooski Spartans on Friday for a little afternoon high school soccer.
With the fall foliage in full bloom behind them, the Rangers quick ball movement, and over all smart play, systematically dissected the Spartans en route to a 6-2 win.
"It was a good match," said LR coach Tom Evans about his overall thought on on the game..
Things were close in the opening minutes of the contest.
The Spartans' players were a quick moving bunch in their own right, and it took the Rangers a little while to adapt to the Winooski brand of soccer.
SWANTON–The North Country field hockey team improved to 6-1 on the year after defeating rivals MVU on Friday afternoon.
"It was a great game," said NC coach Chantelle Bouchard. "MVU has a fantastic field, so the balls flying and the pace of the game was excellent."
Morgan Greene opened up the scoring at the 16:32 mark of the first half.
Brittany Royer added to the lead when she struck with 3:02 remaining in the opening thirty minutes.
Phoenix Alix had the final Falcon goal, scoring mid way through second half.

Before Maryland:
Personal: Daughter of Samuel and Gracita Ntone-Kouo... older sister of Yannick.
Chose Maryland Over: Boston College, Georgetown and Miami
I chose Maryland because: "Maryland has a great combination of competitive soccer and challenging academics. The coaching staff made me feel really welcomed. It was one of the first schools I visited, and I fell in love with the campus."
Coach Morgan on Ntone-Kouo: "Natasha comes to us from the PDA in New Jersey and is another ultra competitor. I expect Natasha to play in either the midfield or up front for us. Natasha is special in that she can spin defenders with her back to pressure, but she is so explosive and dynamic she can receive a ball faced up and run past defenders. She can be a nightmare for defenders! In addition, she has really developed her crossing of the ball. Natasha is going to create some great scoring opportunities for our team. Expect a big contribution right away!"

|"It is our goal to educate undergraduates about the medical field and facilitate their pursuit of a career in medicine"
The Liberty University Pre-Med Honor Society has been active since 2005. The goal of the society is to give students the information they will need to achieve their goals in pursuing a career in medicine. With bi-monthly meetings, students are exposed to a variety of medical professionals.
The society also helps prepare students for taking their MCAT or DAT. Members have access to a variety of study materials which have been placed in our library. Along with the study materials students are given optional practice MCAT's which fully simulate the actual MCAT experience with grading and feedback.
E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
We encourage everyone who is interested in the medical profession to attend our meetings. If you are not able to become a member of the Honor Society the Pre-Med Club is an alternative. Becoming a member of the Club allows you to attend the meetings, however the purchased MCAT study materials are not available for use.

Kaval's Kickoff: Office hours open to the public
The Golden Boot race is on! With a brace this weekend, Chris Wondolowksi catapulted himself into a tie for the MLS lead in goals scored. He is facing some tough competition with DC United's Dwayne De Rosario and New York Red Bull's Thierry Henry sharing the 14 goal number. DeRo has more matches to play than Wondo but let's not count our crafty goal scorer out! Wondo has been on a tear of late scoring in five of the last seven matches.
It was thrilling to see a late goal get us a win and three points this weekend. All too often, we had been giving up those late goals. This last month of the season is an opportunity to evaluate our team. Despite being eliminated from the playoffs, the boys are still playing hard and with pride and the late effort that resulted in Wondo's second goal demonstrated that resolve and tenacity. These are great qualities that are essential for a successful club.
Keep in mind as well that beyond the Golden Boot, which will likely come down to the last weekend match against FC Dallas, the Quakes are also playing the Sounders this coming weekend for the Heritage Cup. A Quakes win or a 3-3 draw will result in the Quakes winning the Heritage Cup. This is a great tradition that celebrates the Sounders and Quakes long standing history as pioneers in professional soccer in North America. The Sounders have removed the tarps at CenturyLink Field and have already sold 55,000 tickets for the match. The event will be one of the largest MLS games of all time in terms of attendance. It is Kasey Keller's last regular season game in goal and hopefully we can rain on their parade with a Quakes win and a flurry of goals.
On the stadium front, I got several emails this week about the seats at the new stadium. I think there was some confusion about the type of seats we will be using. We are putting in chair back individual seats except for the supporter's area, which will be specially designed for the supporters. There will be no benches like at Buck Shaw. I did get a bunch of different perspectives on the color of the seats. What do people think about seat color for the new stadium? What do people think about including the team name or city name in the seats?

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's thoughts emerge, 140 characters at a timeApril 22,2013It was a day of jarring juxtapositions: The president of the United States was briefed about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old suspect in the Marathon bombing.
Then there was that other briefing — more intimate, more bizarre — that took place among the teenagers who knew him. His inner circle of friends, whose Twitter accounts are full of comments about smoking weed, being bored with classes, and partying suddenly turned to shock at the allegations against him.
"Regardless what happens that's still my (expletive) . . . just want some answers," wrote one of Tsarnaev's friends, who goes by the Twitter handle TheZooKid and was using a racial slur as a term of affection. A few hours later, he wrote: "Don't let them take you alive, bro."
"Is this real life?" wrote NbeFly. " . . . The president is involved like they refer to him as a terrorist. I can't deal."
There was another odd juxtaposition: A suspect who a day earlier seemed unknowable — who "must have been a sociopath," as one TV talking head on the put it — came to seem recognizably human when described by his own friends, or when describing himself.
"I really don't like it when I have one ear pressed against the pillow and I start to hear my heart beat," Tsarnaev wrote on his Twitter feed weeks ago. "Who can sleep with all that noise?"
Strikingly, his postings showed the hallmark banality and absurdity of the average American teen. From the handle J—tsar, he tweeted about the TV shows "Game of Thrones" and "Breaking Bad." He tweeted about smoking marijuana: "You don't care if I smoke, right? Man, I wouldn't care if you shot yourself in the head. Friendship."
Four days before the bombing, he wrote: "Dreams really do come true. Last night I dreamt I was eating a cheeseburger and in the afternoon today, guess what I was eating."
Then, in the midst of those tweets are ones that now seem macabre: "If you have the knowledge and the inspiration all that's left is to take action," he wrote earlier this month.
It's hard — perhaps impossible — to glean a person's mindset from 140-character Internet postings. Especially from teenagers, whose comments, like the revving of a motorcycle, are designed to show how tough they are. But still, we can see something in Tsarnaev's tweets on Tuesday. As the city fell into mourning, they grew defiant.
Someone posted that iconic photograph of a man crouching over an injured woman at the Marathon finish line; underneath was a claim that the man was her boyfriend, planning to propose to her, but now she is dead. Tsarnaev was unmoved. "Fake story," he tweeted back.
Later on Tuesday, he wrote: "So then I says to him, I says, relax bro my beard is not loaded" — an apparent reference to the stereotype of bearded Muslim men as terrorists. It feels bizarre and ironic now, given the circumstances. Is it even worth our time to dissect a comment like that? And what to make of what he wrote on Wednesday? Before the FBI released video footage of the suspects, he tweeted, seemingly out of the blue, "I'm a stress free kind of guy."
He was probably anything but. Then he seemed to get more introspective. Did he understand that the world was closing in on him — that he would soon be identified as a criminal suspect?
His last tweet came on Wednesday, at 12:30 p.m.: a message from Mufti Ismail Menk, a Saudi scholar who appears to be based in Zimbabwe. "Attitude can take away your beauty no matter how good looking you are or it could enhance your beauty, making you adorable."
Since then, silence.
Except that his Twitter page is busier than it has ever been. First, there were all the friends expressing shock and disbelief in whatever teen language they speak.
Then tens of thousands of strangers who signed up to "follow" him. Like me, they are looking for anything that can explain what might have happened; any insight into how this world of teens in saggy jeans collided with our world, and ended up in the president's national security briefing.
We roam his Twitter feed like ghosts in a dead man's brain; like beachcombers looking for precious metal, searching for something — anything — that can give us a reason for why a kid so harmlessly familiar may have hurt us so very much.

2012 Men's Lacrosse Preview

- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hilbert College enters the 2012 men's lacrosse season with many questions and as many holes to fill. The Hawks ended their inaugural 2011 season at 6-6 and will look to build on the experience they gained in the process. But the going will not be easy. Gone are three of the top five scorers from last season's team as well as the starting goalie and several other top contributors. Last year's team MVP Ryan Wagner (Orchard Park, NY/Canisius/Mercyhurst), and the team's MIP Adam McCulle (Angola, NY/Lake Shore) have been sidelined with injuries. Coach Schunke will be calling on veterans and new recruits alike to fill in the gaps.
Sophomore captain, Sean Purtill (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park) was ranked 22nd nationally in assist per game a year ago and will be counted on to lead the young Hawks. On attack, Purtill will be joined by junior Greg Zitnik (Blasdell, NY/Frontier) and newcomers Nick Cavalieri (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West) and Elliott Russillio (Lancaster, NY/Lancaster), who will be counted on to spark the offense.
At the midfield position, last year's core-group of athletes return while they welcome rookies who bring considerable depth. Returning are senior Eric Russell (Hickory, NC/Iroquois)and juniors James Knapp (Lockport, NY/St. Mary's of Lancaster) as well as Mike Cavanagh (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park), who the Hawks will count on to contribute more offensively and defensively this year. Also returning are sophomores Nick Kieffer (Lee Center, NY/Rome Free Academy), and Doug Takac (Elma, NY/Iroquois), who is coming off a season-ending injury last year. The veterans are joined by newcomers Rick Landahl (Lakeview, NY/Eden), Bill Moleins (Hainesport, NJ/Rancocas Valley), John Pingitore (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West/Mercyhurst), and sophomore Austin Collett (Clifton Springs, NY/Midlakes/Alfred), who will add depth to the midfielding corps. If Anthony Marchitte (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West/Buffalo State) is able to rebound from last year's injury, he will add some much needed toughness to the midfield position.
The Hawks' defense features several returning players. Sophomores Kyle Mackowiak (Buffalo, NY/Bishop Timon-St. Jude), and Sean Manning (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West), as well as senior Justin Peterson (Batavia, NY/Batavia/GCC), junior Lucas Cellino (Lancaster, NY/Lancaster), and junior Paul Liedkie (Leroy, NY/Pavilion/Waynesburg) all return to try to shut down opponent scoring. They will be bolstered by newcomers Mustafa Choukeir (Fort Edward, NY/South Glens Falls), Roland Jimerson (Silver Creek, NY/Silver Creek), Nick Tuttle (Hamburg, NY/Frontier) and Jordan Fedun (Parksville, NY/Liberty) who will all push for playing time.
Anchoring the Hawk defense will be two freshmen goalies in William Wagner (Henrietta, NY /Rush-Henrietta) and Tyler Catalfano (Rochester, NY/Greece-Arcadia). While both have shown potential, neither has emerged as the starter and the competition is wide open going into the spring traditional season.
This season will mark the first for Hilbert as a member of the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC), and the young Hawks hope they can compete with the more established programs. How well the team does will depend on Coach Schunke's ability to blend returning talent with the new recruits. "We will have to depend on our veterans to provide leadership and our new recruits to be ready to contribute right away. If we can bring them all together, we should be able to surprise some teams this year."
The Hawks open their season at home in March against Penn State Abington (NEAC) and Mount Saint Vincent (3/10 and 3/11). They then host three conference opponents early in the season: Cazenovia and Cobleskill at the end of March before the Wells game (April 9). Sprinkled in are non-conference games at Alfred University (March 24), at La Roche (April 7) and at home against Thiel (April 11). The Hawks finish their season on the road with four straight NEAC games: Keuka (April 14), SUNYIT (April 22), Medaille (April 25) and Morrisville State (April 28).
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

- A dimensional view on numeral systems (1989)
- The Stanford Project on Language Universals began its activities in October 1967 and brought them to an end in August 1976. Its directors were Joseph H. Greenberg and Charles A. Ferguson. The Cologne Project on Language Universals and Typology [with particular reference to functional aspects], abbreviated UNITYP, had its early beginnings in 1972, but deployed its full activities from 1976 onwards and is still operating. This writer, who is the principal investigator, had the privilege of collaborating with the Stanford Project during spring of 1976. […] One of the leading Greenbergian ideas is that of implicational generalizations, has been integrated as a fundamental principle in the construction of continua and of universal dimensions as proposed by UNITYP. It is hoped that the following considerations on numeral systems will be apt to bear witness to this situation. They would be unthinkable without Greenberg's pioneering work on "Generalizations about numeral systems" (Greenberg 1978: 249 ff., henceforth referred to as Greenberg, NS). Further work on this domain and on other comparable domains almost inevitably leads one to the view that generalizations of the Greenberg type have a functional significance and that a dimensional framework is apt to bring this to the fore. This is the view on linguistic behaviour as being purposeful, and on language as a problem- solving device. The problem consists in the linguistic representation of cognitive-conceptual ideas. The solution is represented by the corresponding linguistic structures in their diversity and the task of the linguist consists in reconstructing the program and subprograms underlying the process of problem-solving. It is claimed that the construct of continua and of universal dimensions makes these programs intelligible.

- A functional view on prototypes (1989)
- The human mind may produce prototypization within virtually any realm of cognition and behavior. A "comparative prototype-typology" might prove to be an interesting field of study – perhaps a new subfield of semiotics. This, however, would presuppose a clear view on the samenesses and differences of prototypization in these various fields. It seems realistic for the time being that the linguist first confine himself to describing prototypization within the realm of language proper. The literature on prototypes has steadily grown in the past ten years or so. I confine myself to mentioning the volume on Noun Classes and Categorization, edited by C. Craig (1986), which contains a wealth of factual information on the subject, along with some theoretical vistas. By and large, however, linguistic prototype research is still basically in a taxonomic stage - which, of course, represents the precondition for moving beyond. The procedure is largely per ostensionem, and by accumulating examples of prototypes. We still lack a comprehensive prototype theory. The following pages are intended, not to provide such, a theory, but to do the first steps in this direction. Section 2 will feature some elements of a functional theory of prototypes. They have been developed by this author within the frame of the UNITYP model of research on language universals and typology. Section 3 will bring a discussion of prototypization with regard to selected phenomena of a wide range of levels of analysis: Phonology, morphosyntax, speech acts, and the lexicon. Prototypization will finally be studied within one of the universal dimensions, that of APPREHENSION - the linguistic representation of the concepts of objects – as proposed by Seiler (1986).
