Report No. 2007-19
April 2007
Fund Likely To Become Insolvent Unless Corrective Action Taken
The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOLIR) paid approximately $68 million during 2006 on Second Injury Fund (fund) claims by injured employees and for administrative costs. The department has responsibility for the fund, which supplements workers' compensation benefits paid to injured workers. On January 16, 2007, the Governor requested the State Auditor's Office (SAO) conduct an audit of the fund. We focused audit objectives on determining (1) whether fund expenditures had been properly disbursed, (2) the fiscal soundness of the fund, (3) the impact of 2005 legislative changes on the fund, (4) the potential impact of a recent Missouri Supreme Court decision on fund solvency, and (5) whether DOLIR projections of future fund performance have been accurate.
Fund insolvency likely in
Based on our review of DOLIR fund projection data, and discussions with officials at the Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration, DOLIR, the Division of Workers' Compensation, and the Attorney General's Office, the fund will likely become insolvent during 2008. (See page 9)
Legislative changes limit fund revenue and should reduce expenditures
The 2005 legislative change to the workers' compensation law capping the fund surcharge rate at 3 percent limits DOLIR's ability to generate revenues sufficient to cover fund expenditures. Based on our estimates, expenditures are projected to outpace revenues by approximately $57.5 million from 2007 through 2009, an average of $19.2 million per year. The legislative changes have also resulted in a reduced number of fund claims. However, it will take several years for the reduced number of claims to result in reduced fund expenditures. (See page 10)
Impact of Supreme Court decision not known
In addition to legislative changes, the fund may also be impacted by a January 2007 Missouri Supreme Court decision. The decision stated permanent total disability benefits are to be paid to an employee's dependent(s) in the event the employee subsequently dies from causes not related to the work-related injury. However, the division does not obtain information regarding the existence of dependents for its case files. Without information on dependents, the potential financial impact of the decision cannot be determined at this time. (See page 12)
No contingency plan exists in the event of insolvency
State statutes do not contain provisions allowing DOLIR to generate additional funds in the event of insolvency. If the fund becomes insolvent, benefits would be in danger of not being paid because state statutes do not guarantee payment of these benefits through any other means. (See page 12)
Pending legislation will not address short-term solvency concerns
Several pieces of pending legislation propose to make changes to control costs of the fund. However, none of the bills currently pending make changes to address the short-term solvency of the fund, therefore additional funding sources are needed to address this short-term insolvency of the Second Injury Fund. (See page 13)
Fund projections could be improved
DOLIR personnel have not always obtained all available information relevant to the future performance of the fund when making fund projections used to set the annual surcharge rate. As a result, fund projections have been inaccurate, leading to high fund balances in the past. (See page 14)

So after owning the original Super Black Eagle since the Christmas of '97, I'm starting to feel the need to purchase a new shotgun.
My Super Black Eagle shoots fine, but it's starting to show signs of wear from all of the great adventures over the years and no telling how many cases of 3.5" shells.
For the last three seasons, it's been to the shop once each year for a small minor part replacement/repair...once for the ejector mechanism/finger to be reattached, again for a roll pin that worked it's way out, and again to have it shipped to Benelli to have the metal ring re-soldered to the barrel (which they did free of charge).
It still shoots fine, but now that parts are starting to come loose, I feel the need to get a new one.
I've been more than happy with the Benelli performance and their customer service when I had to ship it off for that repair.
I am sticking with Benelli...so the question is which one do I get? Stick with the Super Black Eagle line, or go for the Super Vinci?
Anyone have the Super Vinci? All of my buddies have the SBE2, but no one I know has the Super Vinci.

Nobody lives forever - but we're about to get a whole lot closer, says Aubrey de Grey, a controversial age theorist and a gene database manager at Cambridge University. In February's issue of the international journal Gerontology, the self-taught scientist argues that recent advances in our understanding of aging may allow today's sixtysomethings to reach their 1,000th birthdays. Wired asked him to explain how mainstream research has veered off course.
DE GREY: I present a detailed evolutionary argument that caloric restriction in humans will give only a very small increase in lifespan. Starved worms and flies can live many times longer than normal, whereas mice can live only about 40 percent longer and dogs only 10 to 15 percent. We'll get only two to three years from that approach. Better than nothing, but not enough. This is a big deal because the majority of academic-led biotech startups aimed at postponing aging are developing drugs based on caloric restriction.
You think we can actually reverse aging instead of just slow it down?
That's right. The rejuvenation therapies we are on the verge of developing will actually repair cellular damage. The reason I think we're close is that we can describe what aging is in such minute detail, and we can also describe feasible, foreseeable ways of repairing each of those categories of damage that go together to make up aging.
What kind of repairs?
We accumulate various types of indigestible junk in our cells, which leads to things like atherosclerosis [hardening of the arteries] and neurodegeneration. We can fix this by introducing enzymes from soil microbes that can break these things down.
So, can we really live to be 1,000? That sounds more like public relations than biology.
You're right. It is a number plucked out of the air. A thousand years is just a way of explaining that the beneficiaries of first-generation therapies will be in just as good health 30 years later. By then, there will be more comprehensive therapies.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The Institute of Philosophic Studies, which is the Ph.D. granting division of the University, holds a colloquium at the beginning of each semester that represents the culmination of the IPS Core Course given in the preceding semester. The IPS Colloquia are modeled after the academic conferences held elsewhere that graduate students will be attending as part of their careers as teachers. Three panels of three papers each are presented over the course of one afternoon by nine of the students who took the core course in the preceding semester. The papers are followed by a reception and dinner, and conversation continues into the evening, as the faculty and students discuss the content of the afternoon's sessions and take advantage of the opportunity to meet and talk outside of the ordinary environs of classrooms and faculty offices.
Here are some of the recent IPS Colloquia and the papers given at them:

Update: The new iPhone has been reviewed and makes it into the best smartphone top 10 - but where does it land?
Here at TechRadar, we check out every phone under the sun, putting the ones that matter through our rigorously vigorous testing process to create our indepth mobile phone reviews.
However, with so many to choose from, we've spent hours whittling them down to a top ten, taking into account the power, specs, design and most importantly: value for money, although we'll always point you in the direction of the latest handsets - after all, nobody wants to be carting around a phone that doesn't get any updates in a year's time, right?
- Find a good deal with TechRadar: mobile phone deals
So whether it's one of the many slick Android handsets, the latest iPhone or one from a range of other cool operating systems, we've extensively tested them all so you don't have to!
Here are our rankings for the best smartphones around, currently available in the UK.
10. Nexus 6
Google's best ever phone is also its biggest ever
OS: Android 5 | Screen size: 5.96-inch | Resolution: 2560 x 1440 | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 32GB/64GB | Battery: 3,220mAh | Rear camera: 13MP | Front camera: 2MP
Google's latest Nexus is a phone that moves away from the usual 'super cheap superphone' and into phablet territory with its latest offering. The good news is the screen is also supercharged: massive at 6 inches, it's also got a stunning QHD resolution.
You'll always be getting the latest updates to Google's Android OS with this one, and while it's certainly something you'd have to use two handed (make sure you're fine with that before buying, as it's put a lot of people off that we've shown it to) it's tremendous display, premium specs and great use of Android 5.0 Lollipop make one of the best phablets to date - and Android Marshmallow isn't far from landing.
It's not cheap, but it's the best Nexus ever made. And, when you think about it, you're not going to need to hold onto your money, as you'll require both hands to grab onto this two-handed monster.

When most people think of puppetry, they probably think of Sesame Street. Or maybe they think of shadow puppets, sock puppets, or paper bag figures made with Elmers glue, markers, and plastic googly eyes. The hippest puppets today are performing on Broadway in Avenue Q, the Tony Award-winning musical that features trash-talking, politically incorrect puppets singing songs like Everyones a Little Bit Racist and If You Were Gay. If anything, the success of Avenue Q spells out what professional puppeteers already know puppets arent just for kids.
Puppetry has very old traditions. In Eastern Europe, puppetry is considered a fine art form; in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic, for example, there are puppet operas, festivals, schools, and permanent puppet theatres. The United States Jim Henson Foundation (founded by the Muppets creator) awards grant money to promote and develop the art of puppetry in the United States. The Foundations website states: Puppetry is an ancient and beautiful art form that communicates across cultures, generations and artistic disciplines. As such, it has the ability to reach audiences like no other art form. However, while puppetry is considered legitimate theater for adults and families in other countries, in America it is often relegated to birthday party fare.
While its true that puppet shows can be silly, childlike, and entertaining, they can also be affecting, touching us on a deeper level. Like people, puppets can be macabre, profound, profane, poetic, playful, dark, beautiful, wondrous, weird, mystical, uncomfortable, realistic, and funny. One of the best ways to witness the inimitable scope and breadth of puppetry is to attend the plays of Michael Sommers, who, with his partner Susan Hass, runs Open Eye Figure Theatre, one of the most inventive and compelling theatre companies in Minneapolis.
We have a three-pronged mission, says Sommers, smoking a hand-rolled cigarette on the roof of his studio on Chicago and Lake Street. First is socio-political: community outreach, which also includes audience building for us. Second is [making] arty high brow [shows]. Third, were populist all the work comes from classical forms and tradition, but were trying to reexamine classical ideas how do we make the arts accessible, especially in Minneapolis?
This populist mission is best represented by Open Eyes Driveway Tours, the now annual traveling puppet shows created specifically to bring theatre to people and neighborhoods most likely to never see theatre. The shows are designed to be accessible to a broad range of people, from ardent avant-gardists to marginalized neighborhoods whose inhabitants rarely get to see a live play.
A recent recipient of the McKnight Theater Fellowship, Sommers specializes in mixing high art with plebian accessibility. The Driveway Tours, which were inspired by a marionette show in a Yucatan, Mexico theatre, help spread Sommers philosophy that theatre is vital to community and character building. The idea is that a simple, profound event can be created easily and cheaply, with little more than an audience and a couple performers. Open Eye asks for no payment upfront, and will bring the show anywhere, provided there is a guaranteed audience of fifty people (they will play to an audience as large as 150). The host of the Tour provides space, refreshments, and helps advertise. Open Eyes actual costs for each performance is $350, and they ask for donations at the end of each show.
This years play, The Adventures of Katie Tomatie, is, according to its creator, Pretty standard stuff. For Sommers, whose past work has included the visual poem Elijahs Wake, and a recontextualizing of Faust for the Henson International Puppet Festival, this work is childs play. Still, it takes the finesse of an experienced performer like Sommers to make it work: one character, for example, has three different bodies to account for his varied movements. The story begins with a spunky little girl, Katie, hanging out on a lazy summer day. Bored with doing nothing, she puts her green thumb to work digging a hole for a tomato plant. Of course, since this is a play and a puppet show it doesnt go as planned. Katie digs up a skeleton, who in turn takes her on an adventure. And off they go, into the mad beautiful world of Katies (and Sommers) imagination. Katie Tomatie is the second Driveway Tour production for the company, now in its fifth year. The whole event is successful when its second to community building, states Sommers, looking eager to get back to his shop.
Last years Driveway play, The Adventures of Juan Bobo, was seen by 3,000 people throughout 40 productions, and was performed in both Spanish and English. Sommers deadpans, This year, were only doing 20 shows. We want to have a vacation. He then rattles off a few of his upcoming projects, which include a collaboration with choreographer Laurie Van Wieren and playwright Kira Obolensky called The Flatworks this fall, and a new big show in the spring which he describes as a one-person duet, a meditation on the contradiction of living alone onstage.
Yet Sommers doesnt consider himself a puppeteer. Its a vocabulary, he says, which was formed mainly out of economic necessity. Years ago, my studio was in my basement, so everything had to be small. Figure theatre, he says, can incite an arcane emotion in people that actors theatre cannot. The form is the synthesis of everything, and its secondary to the event. My job is to compel, not to tell. I want to leave people with an infection that they carry around. To paraphrase Sommers: even if you dont like what you see, he hopes his images will stay with you, burrowing into your subconscious like a virus. Of course, Katie Tomatie is more fun than psychology, more adventure story than Sartre. We can safely assume that this particular infections side effects will be more like hiccups caused by laughter, of course.

When parents of get older and have multiple children, one child may provide caretaking responsibilities for the parent. These added duties include care at home including chores such as cooking, cleaning, organizing, and any other duties that are associated with home care. Added duties can also include companionship and spending extra time with an older parent that may be lonely and alone otherwise. The child that provides caretaking responsibilities for the parent may live closer to the parent than the other children or have a schedule that allows them to provide these responsibilities. the parent sees one child as providing more than the other children and it is only natural that the parent would want to reciprocate in some manner.
It is common for the parent to want to reward the child that provides caretaking responsibilities with a greater share of their estate and assets than the children that did not provide care. This can come in the form of one child receiving twice as much or even in some cases receiving everything that the parent has in the form of assets. This can be problematic as the other children feel that the parent did not love them equally because they did not get an equal share or that the care taking child had undue influence over the parent and took advantage of the aging parent by convincing them to give a greater share because of the close relationship with the parent. While most of the time it is not the case that the child providing care did not have undue influence and legitimately cared for the parent without the expectation of reward, the other children that were not around as much may not see it that way. The other offspring that were not around as much may see that an added inheritance was only given because of pressure by the care taker or that the care taker's only motive behind performing the duties was to get the extra inheritance.
These problems can lead to a fight among the children or even a challenge over the estate plan. The easiest way to prevent this potential problem is to tell the children ahead of time of the uneven inheritance or to compensate the caretaking child for their services while the parent is still alive and still maintain equal inheritances among the children. Consult with an estate planning attorney to make an estate plan that will help prevent these potential problems.

You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
I'll be the first to admit, I don't know how to write these profiles but here we go!
My name is Adam and while I've lived on the east coast since I was 10, I still refer myself as being from Chicago. I'm a Mid-westerner at heart who knows what it takes to survive in a big city. The last 7 years I've been working in television production in Stamford CT and I take pride in everything I've accomplished in my job. I've always wanted to work in TV so to say I've accomplished a life long goal at such a young age is the most rewarding thing on earth! Along with my job I am currently going for my MBA at UConn.
I'm a big family person. Family always comes first. There isn't a wedding or Bar Mitzvah that I've ever missed! Along with family, my friends are equally important. I still see my first ever friend from pre-school regularly when I visit Chicago and my current friends tell me how loyal of a person I am.
I'm fully understanding that no one is perfect and that it's wrong to judge. I'm there to listen, lend support and most importantly be there for great memories.
I decided to join JDate on my terms. It's important to meet someone Jewish and it's just not happening any other way. While I've been pressured in the past from friends and family, I always felt I would join when it was right for me. Now is the right time.
Again, this is all new to me, so I want to answer any and all questions you have and I really hope to find someone special like many of my friends have had over the last few years.

Money $marts: Someone has to pay for it
This past Wednesday would have been the 100th birthday of the late Milton Friedman, perhaps the greatest economist that ever lived if you measure "great" by the success of the system-free market capitalism. He unwaveringly championed: "The record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system."
The ideas of other economists, Adam Smith (the Wealth of Nations); Karl Marx (Capital) or John Keynes (the General Theory of Employment Interest and Money), are perhaps more prominent in the lexicon of economic thought, but Friedman stands out alone in empirically proving that government is the problem, not the solution: "One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results." "The only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of prediction with experience."
His monumental and definitive study "A Monetary History of the Unites States" researched and written with fellow economist and spouse, Anna Schwartz, veritably proved that "The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy." To this day, including the recent "great recession" this truism holds.
Perhaps more important, however, was his popularization of the idea that capitalism and free market enterprise always trumps government interference and management of the economy. With wit and clarity in a PBS television series, two books, "Free to Choose" and "Capitalism and Freedom," and numerous other writings, Friedman communicated to the common citizen the folly, ineffectiveness and outright harm of government policies:
"Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it."
"Governments never learn. Only people learn."
"The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government."
"Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government."
"The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem."
"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand."
"Most of the energy of political work is devoted to correcting the effects of mismanagement of government."
"Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program."
"I say thank God for government waste. … It's only the waste that prevents the harm from being greater."
In current political clamor there's a demand to correct economic inequality in the United States. But before we support government intervention as a solution, be mindful of another Friedman quote: "A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both."
Arguably Friedman's most famous quote is, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." By that he meant that nothing the government provides free. Someone has to pay for it.

SEO has turned out to be more interesting that I first imagined. I've been doing quite of bit of research on the Google side of things since they're such a popular search engine and a very innovative company.

John Calvin: Father of The Industrial Revolution
Such a book will not make me much money. It will be, like my most recent book, "Writings of a Deliberate Agrarian," a book that I feel I must write and self-publish for reasons other than personal gain. So my book on work is upcoming, but not before I produce a few more how-to volumes.
This blog is, however, not about a book I hope to write someday. It is about something that I "uncovered" in my research into the subject of work. Namely, that John Calvin, the 16th century Christian theologian, challenged long-held beliefs about the subject of work and, by so doing, I believe John Calvin became the "Father of the Industrial Revolution."
Such an assertion is something of a paradox. That's because I think John Calvin's theology was God-honoring, edifying, and generally good. It led to the founding of America (See my previous post here: "John Calvin: Father of America") and the spread of Christianity. But I do not feel so warmly about the Industrial Revolution. The more I understand about what the corporate-industrial machine has done to the home, family, church, and God's Earth, the less I like it.
That isn't to say I think life was perfect before we had modern dentistry and other beneficial technological advances. What I'm saying is that something very, very good was lost when industrialism destroyed the agrarian culture of this nation. I think we need to see and understand what was lost and how it was lost (the root causes) so we can better order our lives.
That is why I embrace the concept of Christian agrarianism. I see it as a way of reclaiming home, family, and church from the destructive influence of our industrialized culture. But I'm getting ahead of myself… let's first look at John Calvin and the subject of work…
Prior to Calvin, work was not considered a good thing. It was something the lower classes did. Anyone who was anyone didn't do physical work. They lived lives of leisure and contemplation. They devoted themselves to music and poetry and literature and art. Such was their "higher calling." The lower classes did not aspire to much beyond their laborious lower class callings. That is something of a simplification, but it is, in a nutshell, the way it was.
Calvin and the other Protestant Reformers of 16th century Europe challenged all that. They postulated that work, physical work, was good, that God created man to work, that all men, regardless of their position in society, were called to work, that there was dignity in work, and that work was a form of worship. This teaching is best summed up in the term "Protestant work ethic." It started with the Reformation Protesters. It started with John Calvin.
In my library I have the book, "The Work Ethic in Industrial America: 1850-1920." Chapter One is titled, "Work Ideals and the Industrial Invasion." Here are a couple quotes from the chapter:
"The taproot [of the new work ethic in America], as Max Weber suggested long ago, was the Protestant Reformation. Universalizing the obligation to work and methodizing time, the Reformers set in motion convictions that were to reverberate with enormous consequences through American history. At the heart of Protestantism's reevaluation of work was the doctrine of the calling, the faith that God had called everyone to some productive vocation, to toil there for the common good and His greater glory."
"Protestantism extended and spiritualized toil and turned usefulness into a sacrament. Zwingli's benediction put the point succinctly: In the things of this life, the laborer is most like to God."
Brought to American shores by the Pilgrims, Puritans, and Quakers, and applied to the fertile and resource-rich new land, the Protestant work ethic bore tremendous fruit. America was a place where a common man, through his diligent efforts, could not only do well for himself and his family, he could, through his tithes and offerings, build the church. Advancing the Kingdom of Jesus Christ was the original driving force behind the Protestant work ethic.
All of that is, in my opinion, good and right. But something went wrong. The Protestant work ethic had proven it would elevate quality of life. Unbelievers adopted the work ethic without the Protestant worldview. And, I'm sure, many Christians were led astray by the love of prosperity and the "good" things is brought. When the Industrial Revolution started to power its way onto the world stage, it was fueled by the Protestand work ethic.
Industrialism was embraced by the northern states beginning in the early 1800s. By the mid 1800s it was about bring revolutionary change to America . As the northern culture became more industrialized and wealthy, it started to move further and further away from its Christian-agrarian roots. The southern states had a different mindset. The southern culture rejected industrialism and held to it's agrarian forms. This was a recipe for disaster. The rise of industrialism and its political self-interests led to a clash between the industrial north and agrarian south. Such was the original genesis of hostilities that led to the Civil War.
I know you and I were taught in government school that the Civil War was all about slavery. Well, it was not about slavery at the start. It was about a clash of cultures, agrarian vs industrial. Slavery became a central issue later in the clash. The Industrialized north won the war. The industrialized north instituted radical political and cultural changes.
My point here is that John Calvin's Biblical theology of work changed the world. It changed it in a good way. But the seeds of his theology, improperly applied to work and business, fed the Industrial monster. As a result, America has gradually but surely moved away from its Christian roots. It is ironic, but that is what happened.
Can this industrial evolution that is taking us precariously close to cultural self-destruction (and that is exactly what we face) be averted? I think so. I pray so. The more important question is how do we stop the cultural decline before it leads, as it inevitably must, to the destruction of the nation?
The answer is found by going back in history—back to where we came to a branch in the road and went the wrong way. Back to before the Industrial Revolution, when people lived together and worked together and worshiped together in community, when families worked together and cared for each other (the family economy). In short, I believe we must go back to Christian agrarianism. It is the starting point for cultural renewal. It is the beginning of restoration.
If someone has a better idea, I'm open to hear it.

Not many Christians finally come around to this view of the industrial revolution. Good to see it happening.
But what's up with the intereest in patriarchy, Herrick? You don't specify as to being pro or con, but patriarchy is so at odds with genuine Christianity and agrarian living, I don't see how you can support it.

SOMEHOW, the interior life became disconnected from work; a perversion of the doctrine of sola fide. Works, for Calvin were seen as the proof of faith and justification not the cause thereof. But I believe the mystery is deeper than Calvin taught, so that while, as Calvin says scripture has Abraham justifed fifteen years before Issac's birth so that therefore it could not be the sacrificing of his son that justified him, Calvin passes over the teaching of Christ that even as a man thinks, so he is; that the desire and unwavering resolve to do is concomitant with the moment of grace when God commands or invites. This is sola gratia for God works both the will and the way, but not sola fide for at the same time as God commanded Abraham, Abraham was ready to obey and in spirit believed and obeyed all possible revelations of God even though Issac was not yet born. Even as a toddler resolves to walk, his parent lovingly supports him. Man is not quite dead (ag. total depravity) but the natural powers he posseses have all been given to him by the same God Who strengthens him by grace when he seeks to exercise this gifts.

As "Dad" seems to indicate, this article overlooks some things about Calvin, and about pre-calvinist medieval culture.
Monasticism was long the embodiment of the biblical theology of work, and of anthropology. Benedictine monasteries, with a life of "ora et labora" were the center of village and regional life. Even though most people werent themselves monks, the economy was ordered around the monastery and parish.
With the rebirth of connections to the wider world, mercantilism and finance changed the orientation of the economy. It was no longer community oriented, but more abstract. This began a shift to statism and nationalist thinking.
Calvin was just one of a long line of "reformers", the most articulate example of which was Joachim of Fiore and the Spiritual Franciscans who sought to universalize the monastic (agrarian) way of life.
The problem with Calvinism is that it denies the sacramental theology that was the foundation of monastic life. By denying the sacraments that are the living presence of Christ joining in with all creatures, Calvin made Christianity an abstract, determinist system. Calvin began the mechanistic view of the world that led, bolstered by Descartes, to the manipulative approach of the industrial revolution.

You have a lot of things backwards although you are correct that there is a tie in.
The question you have to ask yourself is this. Over the many thousands of years of human civilization, why didn't we have an Industrial Revolution already?
By rights, the Romans should have discovered electricity and created an Industrial Revolution. They certainly had the need for machines like a backhoe, for their road building and civic structures. But, they didn't. And I believe the reason is Christianity.
Unlike all the other major religions, with the possible exception of Islam, Christians are taught that it's our right to dominate the world, to remake it in our image. You would never hear an American Indian, for example, say that we need to build a Hoover Dam. Their mantra was being one with the world, with getting along with Nature, not trying to change it.
In order to change it, we needed to learn how it worked.
In my view there is little surprising that just about all the famous historical scientists came out of Christian backgrounds.
Christianity produced a society of people who were dissatisfied with their lot in life and were told that Heaven gave them the right to create a Heaven-on-Earth if they could just figure out how to do it. Jesus said life would be wonderful if we loved our enemy, he didn't say life would be wonderful if we loved the Earth and wanted to make sure all the little bunny rabbits had a nice place to live.

Banksy, a graffiti artist, does some good work, but the problem I have is that it doesn't appear that he is getting permission from some of the property owners that he is painting on! I get the whole thing about his work having some meaning to it, but the fact of the matter is that if he is not getting people's permission to paint their property, which looks like the case, then is it not called defacing property, because in my opinion that is what it looks like.
Banksy is in New York City now and has been for a few weeks, and only a few property owners seem to have known about his plans to paint art on their property, while others were clueless about his plans.
With all this said I do think he does good work, but there is a time and place for everything, and if property owners are clueless about his plans to put art on their property, then I don't think that is the time and place to do so.

Of course, versions of Windows for ARM processors already exist in the form of Windows CE for embedded systems and Windows Phone 7 for touch-enabled handhelds. Microsoft kind of painted itself into a corner with the name of the latter, though, so my initial thought is that they'd show a tablet-optimized version of their phone platform under a different name. But the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the release might not ship for another two years, which has sparked speculation that this may be a more full-featured version of the desktop OS rather than a port.
As you probably already know Microsoft has a new version of Windows coming out in 2012. Rumors say it'll run two interfaces: one supported by high-end notebook and desktop PCs and the other by less powerful systems doing more basic tasks. So maybe Windows 8 will support both x86 and ARM architectures and we'll see some early form of it at CES. Then again, Microsoft rarely shows pre-alpha platforms at this type of events so take that with a grain of salt.
Whatever the case, this is certainly not the vote of confidence Intel needs as it fiercely tries to gain a stronger foothold in the handheld segment through acquisitions and developing more power-efficient Atom chips.

Ok, I've been suppressing my anti-squirrel rage all day. This morning while my fat-bike was parked at the Rec Center here in North Boulder a squirrel (one of those fuzzy rats) decided that he had to get the tiny bit of chocolate left in my left feed bag. The little bastard ate through the top baffle, several straps, and the draw cord before he got what he was after. And then he left the wrapper on the ground next to my ride.Going to start carrying a breakdown rifle or a sling shot or something. ARGH!
Ride with two bear canister panniers..lol.
Sounds like you are not packing your feedbags properly.

Wanted: Mac Developers for JDIC
Joshua Marinacci continues his look at JDesktop Integration Components with an overview of the screen saver SaverBeans SDK which "is an incubator project that provides a cross-platform API for accessing the screen, along with a packager tool to produce platform-specific executables. SaverBeans doesn't come with any screensavers, but there is a secondary project where various java.net citizens have posted their own creations." The SaverBeans project as well as the greater JDIC effort could use Mac developers as current support is only provided for Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
In today's Weblogs, Simon Brown asks Where are all the J2EE 1.4 implementations? "It's still relatively early days for J2EE 1.4 in the real world, but compare the number of J2EE 1.4 implementations (6) with the number of J2EE 1.3 implementations (21)."
Mike Duigou writes aboutBig Changes to JXTA Configuration. He explains "The configuration UI no longer downloads the lists of seed Relays and Rendezvous. Instead, you can specify URIs from which to load the seeds and they will be updated dynamically at runtime by the actual relay and rendezvous services as needed. This functionality greatly improves the effectiveness of seeding since it's no longer a one time thing."
In Also
in Java Today , Scott Seligman and Peter von der Ahé answered reader questions in the recent Java Live chat on New Language Features . Seligman considers possible changes to the Java language that might be two versions out, including "Tighter integration with XML? With scripting languages? More generics information propagated to the runtime? A few small tweaks to make programming more fun? Start thinking about what you want to see, and let us know. We'll be very careful to preserve the overall character of the language -- no changes will be considered if they don't "feel" like Java."
Design patterns aren't just for software. In The Singleton as a Network Management Pattern, Stephen Morris considers the case of needing to have just a single point of entry for a block of functionality, such as a network provisioning server in his example. He solves this by applying the Singleton pattern, making one instance of the service available on the network: "This solves the problem of avoiding multiple instances of the server code - by deploying just one. In other words, the provisioning server is a good candidate for implementation using the Singleton pattern"
In Projects and
Communities , the JavaPedia entry for Aspect-Oriented Programming was the second-most viewed topic last month (according to the stats page) as readers continue to study and discuss this new programming paradigm.
From the Java Enterprise Community comes word of the Application Verification Kit (AVK) Feature Survey, which may be used to improve future versions of the J2EE code-scanning tool. Randomly-selected participants will win a Blueprints book or a Java t-shirt.
What about Method Categories in Java?
In today's Forums Satai suggests "In the Smalltalk language there is a nice feature - Classes and methods can have set a category. In Java classes are divided into packages, but there is lack of method categories. Category has only a documenting meaning, it has no importance for building and running the application. You just say, that the method is, for example, initializing instances. And an other method can be marked as "converting" and anybody now knows, that the method is used to convert the object to any other type or via versa."
Omar_cv recommends making JDO part of mustang. He writes
"with the new advances in JDO 2.0 it seems very compelling to add ADD JDO to Mustang ,I am strongly supporting this to take place keeping in mind that Microsoft is adding object spaces in its next .NET framework."

Building on the success of the existing Davidson Impact Fellows partnerships, we are excited to offer the Build-Your-Own Fellowship option for 2015-16. For the second year, students will be able to apply for funding to go towards paying their salary and expenses at a nonprofit organization that they identify and "recruit." If accepted as a fellow, students could earn up to $15,000 while working for a nonprofit organization willing to place them into a significant role under the supervision and mentorship of one of the organizational leaders.
The application deadline for these fellowship opportunities is February 16, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. Proposals arriving after that date will be considered based on funding remaining. All materials should be sent via email to Jeff Kniple at email@example.com.
Provide a detailed description of the proposed position, including specific duties and responsibilities to be undertaken. Describe the specific issues you will be working on with the agency in some detail so that the committee will have a clear picture of the experience.
Describe (in three pages) why you wish to undertake this opportunity, including reflection on how it relates to previous experiences and to exploration of long-term goals. Applicant should identify and talk about the work of the organization in general and how their professional interests align with the larger mission.
Provide a professional résumé that lists academic studies and co-curricular activities, leadership positions, and accomplishments or awards.
Candidates should supply a letter from the prospective supervisor in the organization/agency indicating its willingness to employ the fellow under the terms indicated.
A committee organized by the vice president for student life/dean of students will review written applications and schedule interviews with selected candidates during the middle of March, with the intention of awarding the fellowships by March 21, or as soon thereafter as feasible.
Organizations would need to provide a job description and a letter of commitment to each applicant, along with information on the total amount of pay the fellow would receive.

If a parent sees pop-up ads and viruses on her computer, she can be sued for copyright infringement by the RIAA.
At least that's what the RIAA is arguing in a recent court filing in the Capitol v. Foster case, in which a federal judge made the RIAA cough up attorney's fees to a mother, Debra Foster, who had been sued because her daughter was file sharing. The RIAA lawyers had dawdled in dismissing their complaint against Foster, even after her child admitted to being the file-sharer in the house (the RIAA went ahead and got a default judgment against the child).
WIPO's Provisional Committee on Proposals Related to a WIPO Development Agenda is meeting in Geneva this week to continue discussions about establishing a Development Agenda for WIPO - a set of proposals for measuring the impact of WIPO's work on social and economic development in its member states. Two years after they started, the Development Agenda discussions now involve a wide-ranging set of proposals, including requiring WIPO to recalibrate its technical assistance program (WIPO's practice of advising developing countries on how to set up their IP systems), and to develop mechanisms to protect the Public Domain. The discussions may be obscure, but they are important. The WIPO Development Agenda offers the possibility of creating global intellectual property laws that balance rightsholders' interests with the human rights of the world's citizens for access to medicine and knowledge.
The major record labels are sending thousands more copyright nastygrams to colleges regarding student file sharing this year. Of course, file sharing continues unabated, and these P2P-related notices will simply push fans to use other readily-accessible technologies that the RIAA can't easily monitor -- copying music through iTunes over the campus LAN, swapping hard drives and USB flash drives, burning recordable DVDs, and forming ad hoc wireless networks.
The major record labels have stayed the course for the last five years with predictable results -- they've stuck by DRM, ratcheted up their file sharing lawsuit campaign, and let revenues continue to slide. Today, the LA Times suggests some reasons to think the labels may finally be coming around to a sensible solution that EFF has long advocated -- blanket licenses for music fans to share as much music as they like for a flat monthly fee.
"If Internet service providers 'want to come to us and look for a blanket license for an amount per month,' IFPI chief John Kennedy said, 'let's engage in that discussion....'

Whistleblower Mark Klein will get some well-deserved acknowledgement when he receives a James Madison Freedom of Information Award next month. The award could hardly find a more deserving recipient — Klein is the former AT&T technician who exposed the extent of the government's warrantless wiretapping program.
In early 2006, Klein came forward with internal documents that show the company cooperated with the NSA's secret program to eavesdrop on internet communications, in violation of federal wiretapping laws and the Fourth Amendment. Klein's evidence demonstrates that in at least one of AT&T's facilities, internet traffic was diverted to a secret, secure room to which only the NSA had access.
In the words of EFF Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl, Klein is "a true American hero." This public recognition of his bravery in defense of the public's right to know is richly deserved.
During the 2006 election in Florida, electronic voting machines may have "undercounted" to the tune of 18,000 votes in Sarasota County. But because the new machines were not designed to provide paper receipts, there is no way to double check the vote.
Now, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California has taken action. Last week, she asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate electronic voting systems that do not provide voter-verified paper ballots. Senator Feinstein specifically highlighted the problems in Florida, and asked for a "top to bottom investigation".
"Should the GAO become aware of any systems that are prone to software malfunctions, are susceptible to fraud, or use hardware design that would lead to voting system problems, I would request that you also inspect those systems," writes Senator Feinstein.
Copyright law has long caused headaches for documentary filmmakers. Fair use allows for the use of brief excerpts of copyrighted material, but that doesn't stop some copyright holders from threatening lawsuits and demanding exorbitant licensing fees. Unless they clear every snippet, filmmakers are generally unable to get "errors and omissions" insurance, and, without that, it's basically impossible to get a film distributed and released in the theaters or TV.
To help clarify the principle of fair use, a group of five national filmmakers organizations put together a Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use in 2006. The Statement provides guidance for lawyers, broadcasters and insurers as to what constitutes fair use.
