HAZARD – The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) will host a public meeting in Hazard next month regarding Kentucky Power Company's proposal to retire its Big Sandy generating plant in Louisa.
The meeting will allow the public an opportunity to comment on the proposal, which would result in Kentucky Power purchasing a 50 percent interest in Ohio Power Company's Mitchell power plant in West Virginia for approximately $536 million. The electricity generated at the plant, 780 megawatts, would nearly replace the 800 megawatts generated by the largest of two units at Kentucky Power's plant in Louisa, according to a PSC release issued on Wednesday.
"These meetings are an opportunity for the public to learn how the PSC reaches a decision in cases such as this," said PSC Chairman David Armstrong. "The meetings also allow the PSC to hear directly from ratepayers in these matters."
Kentucky Power had originally opted to upgrade its Big Sandy plant, which burns coal to generate electricity, to comply with stricter federal guidelines regulating air quality. That upgrade, the company said, would have brought a cost of nearly $1 billion, and last year the company opted to instead retire its Big Sandy plant completely by 2015. A smaller generating unit in Louisa producing 278 megawatts will be retired in 2014.
The Mitchell plant also burns coal, though the PSC says the newer plant in West Virginia already has the equipment needed to comply with federal regulations.
Kentucky Power estimates its proposed purchase of a 50 percent stake in the Mitchell plant will result in an 8 percent increase in rates, or approximately $6 per month for an average customer.
The PSC's meeting in Hazard will be held on Wednesday, May 15 at 5 p.m. at Hazard Community and Technical College's First Federal Center. Other public meetings on the proposal will be held in Louisa on May 14, and in Whitesburg on May 15, also at 5 p.m., at Southeast Community and Technical College.
The PSC will also conduct a formal evidentiary hearing in the case at 10 a.m. on May 29 at the PSC offices in Frankfort. It also will be open to the public.
Written comments will be accepted through the conclusion of the evidentiary hearing. They may be mailed to the PSC at P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, KY 40602, faxed to 502-564-9625, e-mailed from the PSC website or submitted in person at the public meetings or at the PSC offices.

The retroviral vector pDON-5 DNA is intended for high efficiency retrovirus-mediated gene transfer into mammalian cells. Following transfection of the retroviral vector into an appropriate packaging cell line, pDON-5 DNA expresses transient or stably transcribed products containing the psi virus packaging signal, target gene and selection marker. Furthermore, pDON-5 DNA possesses the psi and LTR viral elements but not the structural genes necessary for particle formation and replication (gag, pol, and env). This retroviral vector also contains the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate early (IE) gene promoter within the U3 region of its 5' LTR; the HCMV IE promoter is a highly active element that enables high retroviral titers. pDON-5 Neo DNA contains a neomycin resistance gene as the drug selection marker for stable transfection.

Another slice and bake. Perfect. I wasn't exactly sure if I was doing the yin and yang correctly, but I think it worked.
My husband will be holding down the fort over here while I travel west. I am leaving early in the morning to meet my sister and a friend for a little ski trip. So excited. I packed a few party favors for them. Chunky beanies, fetching and Rosebud salve. (Have I ever told you how much I love my Rosebud salve?) I also have the Habu packed.

As the season nears, the Ashley Ridge football team remains a work in progress, but things are coming together for the Swamp Foxes.
Ashley Ridge lost several key starters to graduation, but the team does have a foundation on which to build.
"We have some pieces to the puzzle, but we still have some spots to fill in," Swamp Fox coach Kenny Walker said. "We have some concerns, but I'm cautiously optimistic."
Walker has found his four corner pieces and is steadily building inward in hopes of completing the puzzle.
The first corner piece is the team's receiving corps.
"Offensively when you lose players like Romelo Doctor, Vernon Moree and Jacob Thompson, the concern is where are you going to get your yardage," Walker said. "Our group of wide receivers this year is probably the best group we have ever had. They are very talented and we expect them to make a big splash."
The leader of the group is senior Donavan Thompson. A returning starter, he will line up mostly inside and will spend some time in the backfield.
"He is one of our better offensive players, someone other teams had better prepare for," Walker said.
Matt Linton and Charles Fredrick are other inside receivers likely to see a lot of action. Dashaun Santiago will line up outside to help the Foxes stretch the field. DeAngelo Shaw and Mitch Nixon are also expected to vie for playing time at the position. They are all juniors except Shaw, who is a senior.
The second corner piece is returning senior Sean White. A three-year letterman, White will be used as a kick returner, receiver and running back, the position most affected by graduation.
"Sean White is our big play guy," Walker said. "We will use him in a number of different ways."
Junior Tyler Garland and sophomore C.J. Crosby are also expected to get a lot of touches from the running back position.
"We have more physical runners this year instead of the slash and dash type we had in Romelo," Walker said. "We aren't expecting them to break off 70-yard runs, but we think they can do what we need them to do which is gain five or six yards and block."
After serving as backups at the position last season, juniors David Turner and Chandler Avenel are competing for the starting quarterback role. Whoever gets the job will have some experienced linemen protecting them.
"Our offensive line should be pretty decent," Walker said. "We have all the guys back who started up front in last year's playoff game at Gaffney and we were able to run the ball pretty well that game. We have several guys we feel comfortable with and we think we can move most of them around to different positions but after that we need to develop some depth."
Center Jonathan Byrd, guards Tyler Moss and Keith Clark and tackles Kenny Glover and Devin Parker return up front. Seniors Steven Truelove and Jacocb Bonar weren't with the Foxes last season, but are experienced linemen.
Helping them up front will be sophomore tight ends Brandon Brown and Justin Peterson. "They are pretty athletic so we feel they can pose a problem for teams," Walker said.
The third corner piece to the puzzle is senior free safety Kendall Felder, a three-year varsity letterman.
"Kendall is the quarterback of our defense," Walker said. "He knows all the calls and knows where everyone is supposed to be. Our defense needs players who can make adjustments on the fly and he is one of those players who can."
The fourth corner piece is senior defensive end Kadarius Anderson, who has been with the AR varsity since his freshman year.
"He provides good leadership for us up front," Walker said.
Josh Spigner returns as a starting tackle and fellow senior Thomas Cooper also brings experience to the defensive line. He is slated to start at the other defensive end position.
Senior Tyler Moore and junior Dylan Mariucci return to anchor the Foxes' linebacker corps. Brown and Cosby will play both sides of the ball to help strengthen the linebacker position.
The Foxes lost their kicker to graduation, so this season Ashton Hughes and Matt Gable will handle the kicking and punting. Brad McLaughlin, Tanner Price and Peterson are the team's long snappers.
"We have spent a lot of time on special teams trying to make them more solid," Walker said. "I think it will pay off."

Store-bought or café smoothies are marketed as "health" foods, but they are often loaded with sugar and high in calories—some have upwards of 300 calories in a 12 ounce serving. Try making a refreshing fresh fruit cooler instead. There's no added sugar, and just a small amount of fruit, so this drink is only about 18 calories for each 12-ounce glass.
- 1/2 cup of ice
- 3/4 cup of sugar-free sparkling water
- 1/3 cup of melon or berries
- Chopped mint leaves or citrus slices (optional)
Place ice, sparkling water, and fruit in a blender. Blend until slushy, pour into a glass and garnish with mint or citrus slices. Serves 1.

CORNETTSVILLE — A Cornettsville man is in custody after deputies with the Perry County Sheriff's Office responded to a tip on Thursday that marijuana was being grown at his residence.
Russell Hamilton, 31, was arrested at 56 Bull Creek Road Thursday afternoon where deputies said they found four mature marijuana plants.
Arresting officer Deputy Jerry Burns said upon arrival at the residence, deputies found the plants in buckets behind the camper that Hamilton was living in with his father. Hamilton's father was not home at the time.
"Above subject (Hamilton) gave consent to search camper. Deputies found Miracle Grow, marijuana seeds, straw with (white) residue, and a plastic bag of marijuana," Burns wrote in the arrest citation.
Burns said the plants had only recently been put in buckets, based on what Hamilton told deputies.
"They had these planted somewhere else and had put them in buckets behind their camper. He (Hamilton) said he was afraid someone was going to steal his marijuana," Burns said.
Burns said the sheriff's office has found a high number of plants this year thanks to tips and calls from concerned citizens.
"We've got roughly 300 plants this year so far. That don't seem a lot, I mean KSP will fly over and get 300 in one time, but for us to get that much, just what we do by tips and calls and stuff like that and not having ATVs, no air traffic, nothing like that," he said.
With the sheriff's office having been so fiscally strained this year, Burns said it plans to apply for federal grant moneys through marijuana eradication, so tips and calls are even more important for the office in cases like this.
"Most of the majority of what we've found have been at people's houses that people's called about," he said. "There's plenty out there, it's just hard for us to get back in the woods and get it unless we get tips and calls."
Burns said this is the time of year when plants can be more easily spotted because of its maturity and height, so citizens should be on the lookout and should call the sheriff's office with any concerns of complaints.
"This time of year is usually when they're trying to harvest it, and it's getting close to time for them to be done with it, cold weather's coming in and everything," Burns said.
Hamilton has been charged with one count cultivating in marijuana less than five plants, possession of marijuana, and buying or possessing drug paraphernalia. Though these charges are misdemeanors, Burns said Hamilton is a flight risk because he has consistently ran from officers in past cases and is therefore being held at the Kentucky River Regional Jail.

(Translator's Note - Sabbath Day Stopping means the Paradise (the new [third] earth of the Last Age, the 8th Major Day since Creation began. The beginning of the 8th Major Day is also the beginning of the Pentecost...When this 8th Major Day begins, it will also be the...day for humans and of God's stopping from His work.)
Molly, how do you compare/meld those passages from Hebrews and Matthew? What's the message you get? Thanks.
I am not being sarcastic, this is an honest question. Does anyone believe the Spirit is still being poured out as at Pentecost, in the demonstration of the spirit and power. I do. I am just wondering if anyone else relates possessing promised land and rest and overcoming and sonship to the outpouring of the Spirit and the early and latter rains."Today, if you hear His voice......(He. 3) "Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.
I love Hebrews. I mean, the structure- from the beginnings of the oracles of God...arche....foundations- who Christ is(1,2), what koinonea in the Voice brings, (rest, grace, possession)(3,4), the challenge to move through tasting the heavenly gift and the powers of the age into faithful stewards and to come deeper still(5,6), in maturity, in the spirit of priesthood, in the freedom of cleansing, in the fellowship of a priesthood of reconciliation(7,8,9). Then joining those who have gone before, laboring in faith with a great cloud of witnesses, into the manifestation of the Bride, the heavenly Jerusalem, who "comes down" out of heaven as we are "caught up" into the myriads of angels, the spirits of righteous men made perfect, the "general assembly of the firstborn registered in the heavens", a city not of man, with foundations in the heavenly realms in Christ, a city whose builder and maker is God(10,11,12).....Finished with love for the brethren and grace to strangers(13). Oh man.... I am just amazed at God Almighty and My Lord Jesus Christ!

CONCORD, N.C. – The holiday weekend is upon us and kart teams from across the United States are beginning to embark on Daytona Beach, Florida, for the annual December 27-30 WKA Daytona KartWeek at Daytona International Speedway.
This year WKA is aiming for a potential record turnout since the North Carolina-based organization began promoting three series – the Road Race, Manufacturers Cup and Speedway Dirt – together at Daytona International Speedway.
This year's Dirt World Championships event at the quarter-mile DIS Flat Track has over 500 pre-entrants and over 300 parking spots accounted for. With a large walkup entry count, which is common at dirt events, the Daytona Dirt show has good potential for 800 to 1,000 entries.
The Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series' Margay Sprint Championships also boasts over 500 pre-entrants and a full pit area worth of parking spaces reserved. The event should remain stout with 600 to 700 entrants and terrific 2-cycle sprint competition to kick off the six-race 2013 Man Cup national season.
The VEGA / TS Racing National Road Racing Series sits at over 400 pre-entrants with many of enduro-style karting's top racers entered. The Daytona Road Racing Championships surely will feature some of the best competition and strongest fields road racers will compete against all year.
WKA wishes happy holidays and safe travels to all teams and families traveling to Daytona Beach in the coming days. We're looking forward to a great Daytona KartWeek and we want you and your family to be a part of it!

This is Part 1 in a series of posts regarding implementing the Sanctuary Model in the home.
By Denise Morganthall
The Sanctuary Model originated in Philadelphia in the early 1980s and was created by a team of clinicians working in a small inpatient adult hospital unit. Sandra Bloom led the team, tasked with devising a trauma-informed program. After 20 years of adaptation, the Sanctuary Model today reaches across the human services system, being utilized in homeless shelters, residential treatment centers, hospitals and juvenile justice facilities. KidsPeace is just one facility that has embraced Sanctuary as a model of care and organizational change that provides a safe, therapeutic environment for everyone. But can the Sanctuary Model also work for families?
Sanctuary essentially means a place where you can go and feel safe. In the medieval times, people on the run from the law could seek sanctuary in churches. We want our children to feel safe, so it just makes sense to foster that feeling first at home. Sanctuary revolves around seven commitments: nonviolence, emotional intelligence, social learning, social responsibility, shared governance, open communication and growth and change. In this segment, we will explore the commitment to nonviolence. Nonviolence means everyone must feel safe physically, emotionally, socially, and morally.
Making small changes to embrace nonviolence in your family is the first step toward making your home a true sanctuary.
Denise has been in the mental health profession for 15 years. She is a mother of 4 and an advocate of Sanctuary. She is a Sanctuary representative for KidsPeace and member of the Sanctuary Institute. Denise is also a life coach and is pursuing a career in freelance writing.

Lindsay Lohan and Rocker Boyfriend Have Split!
With all the legal drama that's been surrounding Lilo lately, we almost forgot about her love life! Sounds like there's a bit of drama there, too, sadly. The starlet has reportedly just broken up with her latest boyfriend, rocker Avi Snow.
It's a good thing that whole pregnancy thing was a joke...
E! News confirms that the pair's PDA-filled romance has come to an end, though possibly on amicable terms. Just last week Avi, who plays in the band "City of the Suns," had only kind things to say about Lindsay, describing her as "really awesome" and "a lot of fun."
What went wrong?
There are not a lot of details yet available as to why the star and her rocker flame parted ways, though one can imagine that with Lindsay's rehab sentence looming, the honeymoon phase was bound to end.
But the [Lindsay] show must go on! The fiery actress will be in NYC next week for her anticipated date on Late Show with David Letterman. Then she'll jet back to LA for the Coachella music festival the following weekend. According to her rep, she won't be attending the NYC premiere of Scary Movie 5 next Friday.

the rabbi, the rebbe, the yogi, the cross, the pentacle, the holly bough
Helen has a spirited little takedown of Martin Buber that is, sorry for her, more little than spirited, though it's a game effort. I love Buber's work to the bottom of my frenzied little mind, so I think a defense is in order-- and I think it may be time to chip away at this "politics of manner" business.
The first thing to say is that for me there is no god the way there was Yahweh for Buber, and so I have no particular religious insight to offer to rebut Helen's discomfort with Buber's notion about closeness with god and man. In that, I'm probably handicapped from the get-go, and do Buber no favors from a religious-argument standpoint. (When I was defending Conor Friedersdorf from those who would expel him from the conservative coalition for criticizing Sarah Palin, I eventually realized that I was probably doing him no favors-- look at that liberal defending you!) But I think that you can defend Buber, and love his work, and be staunchly a-theistic. More, I think that defense can inform a religious reader, in a meaningful way. (Hidden away in that interoperability, I suspect, lies hope for my politics of love.)
The funny thing about Ich und Du, as many have pointed out, is that while I and Thou may be the best literal translation (and I have no expertise in that area), content-wise, You and Me would perhaps make the most sense. This is because Ich und Du is about a personal relationship between god and man. Buber says that we must stand naked before god, to abandon our defenses and our pretense to invincibility. Only then can we have the personal relationship with god that Buber believed to be at the heart of the quest for the divine. Once we've so opened ourselves before god, we can begin the process of opening ourselves up to our fellow men. And, in Buber's vision, this will lead to a fuller life. It is the emotional, mental and spiritual divides which man shores up against other men that have greatly contributed to the modern default of alienation and ennui. This defensiveness, and this use of other men as means instead of ends, ensures a society of callousness, though largely prevents one of brutality.
This is the state which Helen, and I believe James Poulos, want all of our casual interactions and associations to take place in. No content, only form, all human interaction divided and ordered by the set of rules and mores we casually call manners. This is our "politics of love/politics of rules" divide. I've been remiss in not defending my politics of love, mostly because it's hard to defend, haha. But I equally find this society of well-mannered automatons that James and Helen imagine to be much more problematic than either supposes. Manners are as insufficient as any list of rules to the job of crafting a working civic polity. Surely James, who chafes at our ubiquitous talk of rights, recognizes that. The fact of the matter is that manners are no defense against evil, or sociopathy, and reducing our societal responsibility to being well-mannered ensures that people will obey the form of civility while working actively to undermine what we desire its effects to be. Our literature and cinema is filled with charming psychopaths and well-mannered devils because such people exist. Helen would like to believe that by painting lines of good form and decorum, people will play within them. They might. History tells us they can do so while (charmingly, politely) slitting our throat. No, courtesy is not enough.
The New Age author and lecturer (and yogi, and assorted other things) Ram Dass (nee Richard Alpert) talks about the creation of identity in childhood as the construction of a space suit. According to Ram Dass, as you grow into adulthood, the process of socialization is not merely about teaching children rules and social expectations, but convincing them that they have to "be somebody," that they have to have a cohesive exterior social identity. We create a story about ourselves that fits in our culture's preconceptions of what is a proper life. That story, according to Ram Dass, is inevitably and inherently chafing. Since it is a construct, a mold designed to flatter others rather than to enable us to live, eventually, we feel burdened by our suit, and that burden is exacerbated by the tendency of our suit to act the way any costume does: we eventually feel like phonies. (If you are squeamish about Ram Dass's New Agey identity, perhaps you will be soothed by the fact that he was once a psychiatrist teaching at Harvard.)
Big gaping question about what we "actually are" if we aren't the suits, ok, and it certainly rubs a Sartrean like myself the wrong way to be dealing with notions of who we "really are." I imagine Ram Dass would tell us we're nothing, or we should be, in the zazen/yogic sense, which is a whole other ball of wax that I can't get into here. But I think his point is valuable for this lesson: people cannot be reduced to form or behavior, and if you are going to confront the problem of how best to interact with others, trying to do so is folly. Emotions and internality have to be accounted for. (Or spirituality, if that's your interest.) What Helen seems to me to advocate is an ethic that treats everyone around us as nothing but our space suits, to make interaction outside of friendship, romance or family to be matters of mere robotics. James mocks the idea that we should have a politics of love as "eros lo volt". James believes in exclusivity, and more power to him. But I find that confronting human life in the defensive crouch makes a colder world colder still, and I also don't think we will ever achieve the kind of society we want to without more than what he offers.
All of this is either true or it isn't-- it is either pragmatically preferable to open yourself to the emotional fullness of human beings who you aren't actively in love with, or it isn't. I think it's essential for the evolution of the human condition, but I've been wrong before. And, no, I don't think you can go around standing naked in front of the guy at the gas station or the nice ladies in your yogalates class. (Metaphorically.) Neither, though, do I think that we can or should shut ourselves out to their internal lives completely, and indeed I question how Helen or James or anyone else can invite those from the outside into the shroud of their friendship and love if not through some access to their thinking hearts. And that's where Buber comes in, lonely old courage teacher that he is, counseling us that armor is fine for battle but inimical to what we might call the abundant life.
I don't know precisely to what degree Buber wants us to have an Ich-Du (as opposed to Ich-Es, the kind of relationship Helen prefers) interaction with the everyday Joe on the street. I don't think he advises us to extend it to everyone, but I'd love the input of a smarter and better-read Buber scholar than myself. But say he thought that we must confront each among us in Ich-Du relationships. It's true, that wouldn't be workable, though you know my love for impossible moral codes. What it would be is Christian.
What all of this gets me thinking about, actually, is Gawain and the Green Knight, the classic Middle English epic poem about the Arthurian knight, and his pursuit of his duty. This work, too, is about love and manners, and that which must be pursued. (A modern English translation is necessary for most of us; I don't have an opinion on which translation is best. If you do look for one, though, make sure it's in poetry form!)
Gawain finds in his quest involving the Green Knight-- the pursuit of his duty-- that he is following two sets of codes, the pentacle and the holly bob, the strict code of chivalry and the stricter code of Christian love. What is revealed to Gawain, and the Gawain poet's point, is that he can't follow both. It is too much to ask of any man, even the greatest knight in Camelot. Trying to follow these two codes ensures that he will give short shrift to both. The code of chivalry and manners insists on form and on correctness. The Christian code insists on love. And, as the poet makes plain, god insists that the Christian code is the one followed by all good knights, by all worthy men.
Helen is the kind of thinker I have immediate admiration for; she's well-read, feisty and thoughtful. But I've been consistently unable to reconcile her ethic of impersonality and the politics of courtesy with her Christianity. This is a skepticism and disquiet I feel when I confront the pomocons in general, all of whom I believe are Christians. One of the greater tragedies of the Christian evolution in America, concurrent with the terrible policy positions it has led to, is the gradual watering down of the teachings of a genuine radical into bland pablum. Jesus does not merely advocate charity. He advocates charity at almost any cost. Some people say give 'til it hurts, Jesus says that hurting is no excuse to stop giving. Turning the other cheek does not just mean don't fight back. It means present your other cheek for your attacker to hit you again, to extend the bonds of charity to such an extent that it involves helping someone who wants to hurt you to hurt you. That's eros, alright, but there's nothing lo volt about it. This is as unlivable as Buber's defenseless living, but then, the advocacy of the impossible is the best of religion. It's a truism, of course, that Christianity can be bent to mean anything by its adherents, if they try hard enough. But it seems abundantly clear to me that while the armored life may be pragmatically preferable, it is not Christian.
This is how I see Helen, and James, and Will Wilson and the pomocons: like Sir Gawain, they labor under the burden of two masters, religion and ideology, and can't have both. I am eternally sympathetic to lost causes, and I neither mock nor deride their challenge. But I think the contradiction remains, between their faith and their code, and one strains against the other. If they'll permit even more of my intellectual vanity-- I think they have to choose.
In any event, I don't find Martin Buber silly, or weak, or dispensable. I find him, in fact, essential in a world of existential void. There's no god, but there's you and me, and if we can't stand defenseless before each other, we risk a permanent confinement to what Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel described as the sad condition of the modern man: "Living in fear, he thinks that the ambush is the normal dwelling place of all men."

Freddie, it's great to see the props for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which I just finished teaching a couple of weeks ago. For what its worth, I just love the translation by Keith Harrison (Oxford World's Classics edition).

Freddie, this is a fantastic discussion. I can't speak for the reactions of your intended targets, but I found your discussion of the consequences of Christianity to be particularly insightful and powerful. You really achieved a sympathetic treatment of ideas you do not share here. It's hard to believe that the same person who wrote this piece has also littered the libertarian blogosphere with virtually identical posts that basically amount to: "I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE." (backhanded-compliment I know; but I really am amazed at the dichotomy. I guess we all have our buttons).
But what are the consequences of the inverse? Buber's argument ultimately rests on the designed relationship between creator and created. I think the commands of Jesus carry moral weight -- and maybe even appeal to nonbelievers -- because they not only require us to live lives of perfect love, but they also rest on the premise that those are the lives were were designed to live -- even if for a bunch of reasons they are now impossible (the fall, sin, etc.).
But you (and I) believe we aren't actually "designed" to love. Our capacity for selfless love is a product of adaptation and survival. There is a compelling evolutionary story for how (with a buttload of effort that often nonetheless leads to failure) we can come to trust and love our sexual partner or our immediate family -- and stand before them "naked and unafraid" -- but I haven't heard one that plausibly extends the circle much beyond that.
So, if Helen's ideology conflicts with her theology, well, does not yours also?

First, I think Jay's points are well-made. If this is a problem for Helen, that doesn't begin to describe the problem that this is for you.
But second, though I think your criticism of Helen has merit, in that her rejection of Buber goes a bit too far, I also think you pose something of a false dichotomy here. It is entirely possible to "open yourself to the emotional fullness of human beings who you aren't actively in love with" sometimes. Which isn't a very satisfying answer, because it doesn't actually tell you what to do. But then again, that shouldn't be a problem for you, as you're willing to punt the whole politics-as-rules bit.
I agree with you that love is not just rules. It has to be. But part of the wisdom of love is discerning when it is appropriate--or necessary--to enter into someone else's world and permit them to enter yours, and when it is not. So while when I pay for my gas I treat the clerk largely as an instrument and am treated as an instrument by him in return, that's okay, provided I am willing to turn around and meet him with open arms under different circumstances, say, for example, should I see him on the Jericho road. Love enables me to care for him in the latter case, and wisdom shows me when it is okay to be anonymous.
It isn't possible to always treat everyone with the kind of care that Buber describes, and that's not just because we're sinful, but because we're finite. Of necessity, should I put my energy into treating you that way it means that I'm not treating someone else that way. This would not be different in a perfect world. So treating sometimes people as instruments may in fact be critical to caring for people, even the people we sometimes treat as instruments, because we as humans are limited in our capacities.
Ultimately, I think it's impossible to come up with rules for relationship that are any more complicated than God's commands, i.e. don't murder, commit adultery, steal, covet, etc. Unfortunately, that doesn't actually cover most of the situations in which you're likely to find yourself, and the only way of living with that is by wisdom. For Christians, this comes in the form of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, so announcing two ideals that seem to be in tension is not necessarily a problem: most things are resolved on a case-by-case basis anyways. Christianity holds out many ideals which we cannot achieve, trusting that the Spirit will, over time, change our hearts, and that all will be well at the resurrection.
I do fully agree with you about your take on the pomocons though. I have similar frustrations: there's all this interesting ideology out there, but it frequently strikes me as being a rather odd bit of work coming from a group of people who mostly self-identify as Christians. I've pushed that issue before.

This, 'it is either pragmatically preferable to open yourself to the emotional fullness of human beings who you aren't actively in love with, or it isn't. I think it's essential for the evolution of the human condition' is precisely 'the advocacy of the impossible'.

Josh, the oogedy-boogedy comment was a broad attack on the entire topic, religion, spirituality, god, whatever else falls within those parameters. You name it, I'll poo-poo it, All hogwash to me.
That said, I did find the paragraph I copied from ryan particularly creepy. But worse than creepy, poorly written, not up to his usual out put. Perhaps just a pitfall of the slap and dash nature of this form of communication.
Glad it made sense to you.
I'll stand by oogedy-boogedy and creepy.

Oddly enough, I'm actually a Rosenzweig scholar, lol, but I don't know Buber well enough to give any 'input' in that sense.
"It means present your other cheek for your attacker to hit you again, to extend the bonds of charity to such an extent that it involves helping someone who wants to hurt you to hurt you. This is as unlivable as Buber's defenseless living, but then, the advocacy of the impossible is the best of religion."
It's absolutely liveable; I can give you literally hundreds of lives of saints (in Christianity but also Judaism) who live it in a complete and full way ... helping thieves carry away their belongings, not resisting a violent attack (despite the ability to) such that one saint couldn't walk properly for decades (St. Seraphim of Sarov), etc. It's partially this sort of thing that convinces me of the real existence of the transcendent, since I don't see how this is possible with merely human strength.

Adornheimer: '[the bourgeois family name] arouses a strange embarrassment in Americans. In order to hide the awkward distance between individuals, they call one another "Bob" and "Harry," as interchangeable team members. The practice reduces relations between human beings to the good fellowship of the sporting community and is a defence against the true kind of relationship.'

Or at least an iphone 5 is already on sale in China. Not that it's a phone from Apple of course: so it's not an iPhone. But it's certainly a cheeky attempt at carving out something of a market for the firm, Goophone.
As you might guess from the name of the company it's also nothing to do with iOS, the operating system instead being Google's Android. I think it's a pretty good mixture actually, near ripping off the name of one comany while definitely ripping off the design, look and feel, of another. And name of product of course.
As The Registers points out, the company has a habit of doing this. Their current offering, the Goophone Y5 4S bears a remarkable similarity to something designed in Cupertino as well. Clearly there's a little niche here that's worth exploiting.
Two things occur: the first being that while we do know there's about to be a new iPhone we don't actually know yet what it's going to be called. Could be the iPhone 5, could be "new iPhone" Could be the 4X for all we know so far.
The second is that this is an insight into just how far China has to go in defending intellectual property. I've long argued that such protection isn't going to come about as a result of anything that foreigners do. Rather, once Chinese firms are creating such IP that they want to protect then protection there will be. And not until then either.

Woman ransacks Detroit store, moons clerk over cell phone dispute
Shouting, mooning caught on camera
DETROIT - It was a shouting match serious enough for a clerk at a Detroit cell phone store to start filming the exchange.
The heated argument was regarding a woman's son, who bought a cell phone more than two weeks ago and wanted a refund.
"They came in a week ago. I explained them the situation," said the store clerk, who wanted his identity hidden. "I showed them everything on the receipt."
The clerk who shot the footage said that after trying to explain to the irate mother her son's date of purchase exceeded the store's seven-day policy for refunds, the mother wasn't taking no for an answer.
"Take everyone's [expletive] money," said the mother caught on camera. "Take it!"
In addition to knocking down signs, the clerk said she used a knife to damage display cases. Things took a strange turn as the customer addressed the clerk's camera.
"Take my picture. Take that," said the woman, as she lifted her dress and mooned the clerk. "Take that. You got that? Because I will be back. You got that close up? Cheese."
"I want you to know there's a reason why I had to do that," said Stephanie, the woman caught on camera. "He's telling me my money is up in the air. I can't get a refund or another phone."
Stephanie said the cell phone store sold her son an outdated, damaged phone.
"[The store] needs to either give me another phone or return my money," said Stephanie.
"There is no excuse for anyone to walk into anyone's business and do that," said the clerk, adding that the store plans to pursue charges against the customer.

Still Awaiting a UFC offer, Eddie Alvarez
Former Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez is still in the midst of negotiating his next contract, but right now he is playing the waiting game with the UFC.
Alvarez became a free agent following his last fight, a knockout victory over Patricky Pitbull Freire, and has since been fielding offers from both his last employer Bellator and a likely offer coming in from the UFC.
Bellator allowed Alvarez to begin his negotiations with the UFC immediately, and once they come back with an offer, they can decide to match and re-sign the former champion or allow him to go on to fight in the Octagon.
The only problem right now is that the UFC still hasnt made an official offer.
When he finished out his last contract with Bellator, Alvarez made it clear that he wanted to test the waters of free agency, and Rebney was completely understanding of the decision.I talked to Ed Sunday and theres really no update in terms of us having received an offer from Ed through the UFC, so we dont have an offer in front of us to match at this point, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney told MMAWeekly Radio on Wednesday.
However, as of this moment the UFC still hasnt made Alvarez an official offer, and until they do, Bellator remains in a holding pattern on his future with the promotion.Eddie came to me as a friend and said I wouldnt be doing myself justice if I didnt go out and see what they would potentially offer me before making a decision and Ive got respect for that, that makes all the sense in the world, said Rebney.
If they make an offer well sit back and analyze it and make a decision in short order whether were going to match it.
Ed wants to see what the UFC would put down on paper in terms of a guarantee, and I would do the same if I were Ed, Rebney stated.
So well see what they offer and then Ill sit down with our partners at Viacom and Spike and well make a quick determination as to whether were going to match that offer, and well figure out, Ed will either be fighting inside of our circle or inside of their Octagon.

So I got this book for Christmas, and just started it over the weekend. Besides being just a story and plot (so far), it does something odd for me. It reminds me of a time I never lived thru. It that odd. I was born in the mid 70s, but I have this nostaligia for this time period.
I suppose it's my dad, who I was very close to growing up. In the late 70s/early 80s we used to go visit his father, a retired barber in a small town in SC. The town probably has not changed at all since the 50s. We would go into my grandfathers barber shop Sat. mornings and wait til he was done for the morning. His customers were all old guys with crew cuts, pocket protectors, thick glasses... they all smoked (and used lots of profanity, I do remember...).... and he always had the oldies station playing on his transistor radio by the barber chair. My dad had told me then that the shop had not changed one bit since he was a boy.
After grandpa was done cutting hair, we would go to the diner. Concrete floor, screen door..... it had an oldies jukebox, and the waitresses all looked like they were 100 years old, and had all been the original wait staff from the 50s era (and the old ladies still wore those Mel's Diner looking outfits). Dad said the diner there had not changed a bit either.
We would also hit up the Wool Worth to. They had a soda fountain behind the counter, and also stools you could sit on. One odd thing I remember was a wall of Campbells Soup cans stacked from the floor to the ceiling. But there was never oldies here. Just muzak from the PA.
Sorry for the boring post, but I just wanted to share. I cant help but thinking of my grandpas small town when I read this story....

Shayna Bazler, Tara Larosa, and (For Some Reason) Kim Couture Among Potential TUF 18 Participants - Cagepotato
With only twelve female fighters currently listed in the UFCs female bantamweight division, yesterdays tryouts not only featured the usual influx of eager amateurs, but the likes of
Shayna The Queen of Spades Baszler: Competing professionally since 2003, youd be hard pressed to find a WMMA fan who hasnt heard of Baszler. The Strikeforce, EliteXC, and InvictaFC veteran is currently 15-8 and 3-2 in her last 5 and holds notable victories over Sarah DAlelio, Alexis Davis, and Julie Kedzie. Baszler most recently suffered a third round submission loss in her rematch with Davis at Invicta FC 4.
Tara Larosa: 21-3, with notable victories over Baszler, Kedzie, Davis, and Carina Damm. A two-time ADCC silver medalist (2005, 2007), Larosa is on the heels of a unanimous decision loss to Vanessa Porto at Invicta 3 just her second in her past twenty contests.
Kim Couture: Ugh where shall we begin? 3-6 in professional competition, with notable victories over her personal assistant and husband, Randy Couture, in their divorce settlement. Couture has not fought since dropping a unanimous decision to Suzie Montero in October of 2011 (here third in as many contests) and is perhaps best known for nearly getting choked to death by Sheila Bird the previous July. But my God can she rock a two-piece.
Also on the list of potential housemates were Invicta FC standouts Sarah Moras, Jessamyn Duke, Raquel Pennington and Jocelyn Lybarger.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Nov. 18, 2013—The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science announced 59 projects, promising to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation, that will share nearly 6 billion core hours on two of America's fastest supercomputers dedicated to open science. Their work will advance knowledge in critical areas from sustainable energy technologies to the environmental consequences of energy use.
The allocations come from the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, or INCITE, program. Through it, the world's most advanced computational research projects from academia, government, and industry are given access to the Department of Energy's (DOE's) leadership computing facilities at Oak Ridge and Argonne national laboratories.
"The INCITE program addresses the largest, most computationally pressing projects in science and engineering," said Michael Papka, director of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF). "These allocations enable state-of-the-art science in a wide range of domains."
"The INCITE program—which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary—provides researchers with the opportunity to make scientific breakthroughs in fields that would not be probable or even possible without access to the most powerful available supercomputers," said James Hack, director of the National Center for Computational Sciences, which houses the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF).
When INCITE made its first awards in 2004, three projects received an aggregate five million hours on DOE supercomputers. Today's collective allocation of nearly 6 billion core hours represents a 1,000-fold growth in resources provided to researchers. The average award is more than 75 million core hours—with individual awards of up to several hundred million core hours—on systems capable of quadrillions of calculations each second.
The ALCF's primary leadership computing resource is Mira, a 10-petaflops IBM Blue Gene/Q system with 49,152 compute nodes and a power-efficient architecture. The OLCF's Titan supercomputer is a 27-petaflops Cray XK7 hybrid system employing both CPUs and energy-efficient, high-performance GPUs in its 18,688 compute nodes.
Despite continued upgrades and expansions, demand for leadership computing facilities surpasses availability, and DOE's world-class facilities continue to attract new users. This year INCITE applications greatly exceeded awards.
"INCITE is one of the main programs that gives researchers access to some of the country's leadership computing facilities," said Julia White, INCITE manager at DOE's Leadership Computing Facilities. "Large supercomputer awards like this also give researchers support from computer experts who design code and optimize it for the supercomputers, which helps ensure that the scientists who run simulations on DOE's machines can take full advantage of their enormous processing power."
Supercomputer simulations create a detailed picture of complex phenomena by relying on codes packed with math equations. For a complete list of 2014 INCITE awards, see http://www.doeleadershipcomputing.org/awards/2014INCITEFactSheets.pdf. Highlights of the 2014 allocations include the following:
DOE's Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
The INCITE program promotes transformational advances in science and technology through large allocations of time on state-of-the-art supercomputers. For more information, see http://www.doeleadershipcomputing.org/incite-program/.

Set of Stackable Rings
Style # 218316
A mix of glossy enamel, chainlink and studded design make this set of bebe rings a highly-versatile and effortless way to dress up an outfit.
- Metal
- Imported
Rated 1 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 1 out of 5�by sbrya28 Turned my finger green! This is probably the 1st bad review I have to give on a Bebe item. I was really excited to see this set of rings on sale, with the black/gold combo that is so popular right now. I bought it in store, and tried it on because the salesperson said that they tended to run small. I wear a size 6, and the rings fit me just right. I did notice that if I wore all of them at one time as pictured, that the rings came up close to my knuckle, making it slightly difficult to move my finger, but I figured that was ok. Today I only wore the gold bands to work; had them on all day, and when I got home, I noticed a big green ring on my finger. I looked on the inside of the rings, and the gold did appear to be tarnished already. Needless to say I was very disappointed, and may return these. I did get them with a discount though, so I guess you get what you pay for. August 2, 2013

Reintroducing Cooking in American Households an Unlikely Prospect, Study Finds
Americans don't like to cook. They don't want to spend the time it takes for food shopping, food preparation and clean up, especially when it's so much easier to stop for a quick bite at a restaurant or drive-thru or bring home some take-out. Yet, experts are convinced that making home cooking fashionable again would […] [Read More]

Eddie Lack's mask betrays his occupation and reveals his nickname. To get a taste of the rest of his oversized personality, simply wait a moment for him to remove the mask.
The 23-year-old from Norrtalje, Sweden, is a National Hockey League-bound goaltender, yes, but he's not one of those goalies that spends his time frowning and stewing and suspecting the world might end should a puck sneak past him into the net.
No, Lack is a cheerful prankster, an eager world traveler and an ambitious cook.
That's right: While his mask tells you the 6-foot-5, 200-pounder's long-held nickname is "Storken" --- which means "The Stork" in his native tongue --- he's building a reputation with the Chicago Wolves as "The Swedish Chef."
On any given night in their northwest suburban apartment, either Lack or center Jordan Schroeder can be found manipulating pots and pans to produce a healthful meal worthy of professional athletes trying to get to the top.
"I make pretty much everything," Lack said with his Swedish accent and a smile. "I try to mix in a lot of pasta and rice --- the kind of stuff we need. But it's good. I make a lot of fish and lot of sauces. I make a good fish with potatoes and lemon sauce. I make a nice crust on the fish. Yeah, you wouldn't believe that, huh?"
Count defenseman Kevin Connauton, who lives one floor below Lack and Schroeder and carpools with them to practice, as a deadpan skeptic.
"They think they're good cooks up there, but I question their abilities," Connauton said.
Schroeder insists it's true. He has witnessed Lack inhaling cooking shows on his laptop, then trying his hand at whatever he sees.
"We both really like to cook," Schroeder said. "He shows me some things that he makes in Sweden. I show him some of my home cooking that I learned from my parents (in Prior Lake, Minn.), so it's a good combo."
"Sometimes it's tough when you're tired and you don't want to do something special," Lack said. "You want to do something easy. But at least three times a week, I like to make something special and try new dishes."
Lack's adventurous side isn't limited to the kitchen. His mother, Mia, used to work at a travel agency, so she arranged family vacations throughout the world. Long before Lack played for Team Sweden in the 2007 USA Junior National Hockey Festival at Lake Placid, N.Y., he had visits to New York City, Miami, Greece, Croatia, Turkey, France and England under his belt.
Greece ranks among his favorite places to visit. After earning American Hockey League all-rookie honors last season with the Manitoba Moose, Lack and some friends relaxed by renting a sailboat and drifting around Greece.
It's tempting to suggest Lack used that time to decompress after his first professional season in North America --- one in which he won 28 games and allowed just 2.26 goals per 60 minutes --- but he doesn't seem like the sort who needs such an outlet.
As Winnipeg Free Press columnist Randy Turner so aptly captured Lack last March:
"He walks around Mooseville with a grin plastered on his cheery mug as wide as a split-save. He always looks like he's just been told a great joke or he's about to tell you one. He's forever playfully needling teammates and staff.
"In short, Eddie Lack is Dennis the Menace with a mask. How would Lack describe himself? 'Happy and easygoing,' he replied. 'Taking advantage of every day to the max.' "
When asked about his reputation as a playful instigator, Lack becomes uncharacteristically shy. While he loves being part of the byplay that's such a crucial part of life in the dressing room, he wants to make sure everyone knows he's ultra-serious about his craft.
He goes on the ice early to work with Wolves goaltending coach Stan Dubicki. If teammates want to stick around after practice to work on their shooting, Lack stays in the net to provide resistance and work on his reflexes. In the evening, he watches Pekka Rinne, Carey Price and Roberto Luongo to pick up tips.
"I'm just trying to get good habits from everyone," he said.
Perhaps his best habit? Lack performs when the lights are bright. He turned in his first shutout of the season Oct. 21 against Rockford at Allstate Arena --- the linchpin of a 162-minute, 19-second stretch over three games where he didn't allow a goal on home ice.
Not too shabby for a young man who went ignored in the 2009 NHL draft --- and didn't have any sort of reputation in North America until he joined the Manitoba Moose last season.
"For me, he kind of came out of nowhere," said Wolves general manager Wendell Young, who played in 187 NHL games and earned two Stanley Cup rings with the Pittsburgh Penguins. "I didn't know his name, but that happens sometimes. Goalies develop or mature later. Could be a growth spurt. Who knows? The thing is, it was a matter of time before he got noticed at the progression that he's going."
"He's continuing that progression this year in his development to become an NHL goalie. Probably the biggest thing, especially with a goalie, is consistency. We know he's a good goalie. He's a consistent goalie now. A lot of guys have one good year and then they fall off. With a goalie, you've got to have good year after good year. So far, Eddie's shown what he has in his second year, too."

- Acoustic characteristics of velar stops and velar softening in German, Polish and Catalan (2008)
- Two hypotheses have been proposed in order to account for velar softening, i.e., a process through which /k/ changes to an affricate. Whereas one hypothesis states that for the process to apply the velar stop has to be realized as an (alveolo) palatal stop (articulation-based hypothesis), the other claims that velar softening is triggered by acoustic similarity between the input and output segments (acoustic equivalence hypothesis). The present paper investigates the acoustic equivalence hypothesis by comparing several acoustic properties of /k/ in various vowel contexts with those of /ts , ts , tc / for three languages differing in stop burst aspiration, i.e., German, Polish and Catalan. Results suggest that the acoustic equivalence hypothesis could account for velar softening in aspirated velar stops but not in unaspirated velar stops. The results also provide an explanation as to why aspirated velar stops are prone to undergo softening more easily when followed by front vocalic segments than in other contexts and positions
