Educational Philosophy:
Your instructor's
educational philosophy is one based on consideration for others, interaction
between students including open questions and providing assistance to one
I have found in teaching this course that those classes that
use this forum to ask questions, seek assistance, and to provide help do better
than those classes that do not interact one with another.
Accordingly, please, please, please, ask questions, seek
help, don't be afraid to ask! If you
have a problem the probability is that there are others in the class with the
same problem. It is not a sign of
weakness or being "stupid" to ask questions, to seek help. If something needs to be clarified, ask!
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
The final exam for AC 202 will be the assessment tool used for this course. The exam will be comprehensive and the grade used to determine competency levels achieved by the students. The exam will be closed book and closed notes. The exam consist of 10 multiple choice questions covering the chapter readings in the course and five problems that examine the critical thinking, effective communication skills and technical skills of the student. The first problem will address Accounting for Corporations, Long Term Liabilities and Investments or International Operations. The second problem will cover Cash Flows, Financial Statement analysis or Managerial Concepts. The third problem will address Job Order Costing, Process Costing or Cost Allocation. The last two problems address issues of Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis, Master Budgets or Flexible Budgets and Standard Cost. Partial credit will be given for the problems.

Class Assessment
There are weekly quizzes for weeks 1-7. Grading is as
follows: Weeks 1-6 are worth 1.4 (100% = 1.4) points each, week 7 is
worth 1.6 (100% in week 7 = 1.6) points; totaling 10 points (100% on all weekly
quizzes = 10 course points).
There are 3 mid-term exams. They are scheduled during
weeks 2, 4, and 6. Each is worth 13 points (100% on each of these midterm
exams = 13 course points) for a total of 39 points.
The final exam (proctored exam) is given in week 8, it is
worth 30 points (100% = 30 course points).
Total points possible, 100, or 100%.
A final
proctored examination will be taken in a proctored testing environment during
the 8th week at one of the Park University sites around the country or at an
alternative location. For proctored examinations, photo identification is
required at the time of the test. Guidelines for selecting an acceptable proctor can be found
on the Park University Website.
o Other Information on proctored exams:
§ It will be the responsibility of the student
to arrange for a proctor, by the 6th week of the term, who is accepted and
approved by the course instructor.
§ Approval of proctors is the discretion of the
Online instructor.
§ A proctor request form will be made available
to you during the first week of class so that you can send your requested
proctor to your instructor for approval.
§ Failure to take a final proctored exam (or
submit your final project for some online graduate courses) will result in an
automatic "F" grade.

Electronic Computers will not be allowed on final exams unless an exception is made by the Dean of the School of Business.
Submission of Late
Work: Late work is not accepted without the instructors approval.
Classroom Rules of Conduct:
I have found through the years that when we speak on the
phone, especially to someone we do not know personally, we are a little more
abrupt and can become caustic quickly in our communication. I have noted
that the same is easier to do when on line, for instance in emails and
discussion boards.
What I ask is that each of you be careful in how you
respond, what you write, and in the choice of your words and language in all of
your communication in this class. If something has been said that upsets
you, walk away, come back the next day, cool off, and be professional.
Treat others and you would like to be treated, even when you may not have been
treated that way.
I encourage you to communicate with one another, help each
other, encourage and motivate one another, ask questions, provide
assistance. The course and materials will be much easier to learn if you
ask questions and work together. Think of all of the knowledge,
experience, and talent that exists in a class such as this, take advantage of
this vast array of skills.
Course Topic/Dates/Assignments:
Each week there are discussion questions, students are to
respond to the questions and then reply to class mates posting, each
week. The topics are defined in the discussion threads each week. You are to answer each question, and reply to
a minimum of two class mate posts each week.

Disability Guidelines:Park University is committed to meeting the needs of all students that meet the criteria for special assistance. These guidelines are designed to supply directions to students concerning the information necessary to accomplish this goal. It is Park University's policy to comply fully with federal and state law, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, regarding students with disabilities.

Additional Information:
Discussions: Each week there
are discussion topics including specific questions that are to be
answered. However, please note that discussions actually means to
"discuss". Accordingly, discussion cannot take place if
students do not discuss the topics among themselves.
All discussion questions are to be
Discussion postings should occur on three different days each week, such as
Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Since you are to reply to class mate
postings, postings must be made early enough in the week, to encourage and
permit each of you to reply and communicate with each other. So, please
begin early in the week in order that everyone has an opportunity to reply.
I am semi-retired, and
to keep myself up to date doing something I love I teach classes for
Park. I also believe it will keep my brain cells working and I might even
live a little longer.
I have been teaching for
Park since 1997. I first taught for them
at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri (1997-2001). After moving to Tennessee I began teaching for them online (2002).
We live in Dandridge,
Tennessee, named after Martha Dandridge Washington. Nice area about 40
miles east of Knoxville. Rolling hills, with leaves changing to autumn
colors, very pretty. Cows are browsing on some of the hills around
us. Quite peaceful really. Although these pastures are fast fading away, family members are selling
off the old farms and homes are going in.
We have 5 children and 9
grandchildren, so the family is growing but they live in various places such as
Texas, Missouri, Arizona, Idaho, and Tennessee.
I worked primarily in
Construction Procurement for some major construction firms for roughly 30
years. I waited until late in life to finish my PhD in
Administration/Management, I kind of did it to show myself that I could still
learn and hadn't gone dormant, and I was going to say stupid—but while in the
program I determined that maybe I was stupid for doing it! J.
I do hope that we get to
know each other, support each other, and not only learn but have fun in doing
so. Use the virtual café extensively, do
not be afraid to ask questions and to seek assistance. We do not meet in a regular classroom, so
this thread is the closest we have.
If you would like to get
in touch with me, please do so. I am
available nearly 24/7 via phone, fax, or email; as well as postings online in
the classroom—for instance in the Office thread (virtual café).

5 Ways to Decorate Eggs This Easter
With Easter popping up this weekend, many of us will be buying cartons upon cartons of eggs to boil and decorate with our families. For years we have done the same old boring Easter egg kits from the box stores that come with a few piddily little stickers and not so vibrant colors. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of this, so this year my family and I are going to shake things up a bit. We are going to try unconventional ways to decorate our Easter eggs.

I have just finished with my PEX supply lines to all the bathrooms and kitchen, and now I am ready to install the recirculation line.
I have a 2 story house with my HWH in the basement, a powder room and kitchen on the first floor and bathrooms upstairs. They each have a separate pex line, as shown approx in the are in the attached diagram. The blue arrows are my guesses as to where the hot water would come from if I use any of those fixtures (when just the pump is running, then those arrows are obviously not accurate).
My confusion now is that if I install the recirc line as drawn, then it seems like, for example, the kitchen sink would pull in water from any of the tubes? Is that a problem? Is 1/2" the right size? As an alternative, would it be better to have each distant fixture have its own recirculation line, then converge them all at the pump - each with a separate check valve?

Skooba Design has just announced their new line of Netbook Neo Sleeves, which feature a "form-fitting, stretchy and cushy neoprene skin" so that you can carry your netbook alone or in a bag without adding a bunch of extra bulk. They're available in catchy color combinations, and they'd look spiffy with Skooba's recently announced Netbook Messenger.
Rochester, NY, November 23, 2009—On the heels of its recent introduction of Netbook Messenger Bags, Skooba is expanding its accessory offering with a colorful collection of protective skins for netbook computers up to 10.1 inch screen size.
The new "Netbook Neo Sleeve" is a form-fitting, padded neoprene skin that protects against bumps, scratches and the elements. The zip-around Sleeve fully encloses the netbook, and can be carried inside another bag, or on its own using the included, removable shoulder strap. A stretchy, front zipper compartment provides space for the power adapter, and there's even a dedicated USB thumb drive storage slot. If the front pocket is left empty, the Sleeve is airport "checkpoint friendly," so it can be put through x-ray screening without removing the netbook. Skooba's Netbook Neo Sleeve is available in the same 4 color combinations as its recently-introduced Netbook Messenger— Abyss Black, Blizzard White, Deep Ocean Blue and Inferno Red, each with contrasting charcoal front pocket.
The Neo Sleeve provides a high level of protection, yet adds minimal bulk, and tips the scales at a near "zero-gravity" 6.4 ounces.
The Netbook Neo Sleeve's MSRP is $19.95, and you can read more about it here.

St. Louis is centrally located. It's not far from Mizzou, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vandy, and Ole Miss. That's half the league right there. Also, the St. Louis metro area as 2.5M people and they are known to support basketball. Attendance would be high.
Last month, Missouri athletic director Mike Alden came out in favor of Kansas City bidding to land and host a future SEC basketball tournament. At the time, we said KC was on the far side of the state and far from all SEC teams not named Arkansas or Mizzou. We suggested St. Louis would be a better fit for a Show-Me State tourney.
Now Alden is backing one of those, too:
"The SEC Tournament is going to be up for bid in 2017 and 2018, which I made sure that Frank Viverito and Dave Peacock (St. Louis Sports Commission members) know. No reason why St. Louis can't bid on having the SEC tournament here as well as the Missouri Valley Tournament."
As we wrote last month, the SEC would be wise to award its tourney to a select group of host cities. As the league learned from its tourney in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2009, taking the highest bid doesn't necessarily guarantee good ticket sales or filled seats during national TV broadcasts.
In our view, Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans are all either centrally-located, tourist destinations, or both. Those four cities should be part of any SEC Tournament rotation.
Then if the league wants to bid out a tourney every now and then to St. Louis, Houston or even Kansas City to appease the newest members of the league, fine. (The chance to nosh on some toasted ravioli at Rigazzi's on The Hill is A-OK with this writer.) But the league had better not bid tourneys out to the Hinterlands with too much regularity lest it damage its hoops reputation further via empty courtside seats shown during game after game on national television. Because regardless of what the folks in KC, STL or Houston say, there wouldn't be 10 people attending a Thursday afternoon first-round game between South Carolina and Auburn in any of those joints.

Kim Gratz, PhD, coordinator, Personality Disorders Case conference series"There is always something new to learn—that's what these conferences are all about. This kind of team approach benefits the clinicians just as much as it benefits the patients.
|"These discussions improve our understanding and help us become better clinicians."
—KARSTEN KUEPPENBENDER, MD, a third-year resident in the Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program
Team work makes better medicine
Sitting around a large mahogany table in a conference room at McLean, 15 clinicians listen intently, occasionally jotting down notes. One of their colleagues is describing a recent clinical session with a patient. The case is particularly difficult, he explains, because although the patient seems to be progressing, he fears she would not turn to him if she were in trouble.
Throughout his presentation, clinicians, including Jay Bonnar, MD, Elsa Ronningstam, PhD, and George Smith, MSW, offer their thoughts and suggestions.
This may seem like a typical case conference, but what makes it unique are its participants. The weekly gathering, coordinated by Kim Gratz, PhD, presents an opportunity for clinicians in McLean's Outpatient Program to continue to develop, learn and receive consultation, as well as to train psychiatry residents. Most of those initially participating in the conferences represented psychodynamic perspectives. Recently however, clinicians representing other treatment perspectives have been attending, as have psychology interns and trainees.
The conferences, says Edmund Neuhaus, PhD, one of the participants, directly translate into improved care for patients.
"They represent honest, open discussions of what works and what doesn't work, drawing upon insight from a diverse group of clinicians. It gives all of us an opportunity to collaborate on creative treatment solutions."

Stewmac sells quality products and offers a excellent service but i have to be honest here about how surprisingly poor these retainer clips are i have tried them on alder body's they barely hold in place your guitar lead will soon pull the socket out and as for ash body's they are so flimsy they hardly even scratch the wood! unless your guitar is made soft wood avoid these clips! sorry for the negative review
It is what it is. If you want a modern jack cup or a les paul style jack plate then this might not be for you. But if you want a more traditional vintage look this could be the ticket.
I find the Gibson Les Paul Jack Plate infinitely easier to install without special tools. Works on any body that has a hole like a Tele Body.
Works Good.
To install the retainer clip, the telecaster jack insert tool is recommended, which is also expensive for what you get. The jack seems a bit shallow for what you get. Other than that, it works.
not the best on the market
the plate works, but the tele clip is a pain. The cup is also too shallow to screw into the guitar.

I was a 21-year-old young man standing on Elm Street, three blocks from where the shooting took place, when the news reached us that the president had been shot. It looked like everything and everybody went into slow motion.
After what seemed like an eternity, but was only about an hour, the news came that the president was dead. At that moment, it looked like everything and everybody just stopped. The cars stopped running, people stopped walking, clocks stopped ticking and even the traffic lights stopped working. That was a part of history that I will never forget. His loss will never be forgotten.

22 Belden Pl, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410437.791224 -122.403581
M-Sa 11:30-10
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Downtown
A classic, with all the classic bistro dishes. Lovely outdoor seating on Belden Place.
Excellent Food! What a Gem – We were walking around, and we saw this place. We ordered the Salmon and New York Steak. We ate outside, what a nice night! The food was awesome! The food was cooked perfectly. There was as much french bread as you want, and the staff was very nice. i will definitely eat there again, it was worth going to.
Go here! – I?ve been here before and each time, I have had a very pleasant dining experience. On top of that, did you know this restaurant is teaming up with StreetSmart4kids? It?s actually really cool what they?re doing. I just heard about how SS4K is a nonprofit organization that helps underprivileged teens stay healthy. They are running their ?Dine Out and Donate? campaign here (as well as approx. 70 other restaurants in SF) during October and early November. After having a fabulous dining experience, just fill out the donation form when paying the check (minimum donation $3). This is perfect for people like me, who love to eat out all the time and also like to give back to the community. Check it out for yourself on the StreetSmart4Kids website!
My Favorite Restaurant in SF! – Wow, after seeing some other people's reviews I don't know if we're even talking about the same place! I have eaten at Cafe Bastille probably 30 times over the past 8 years (pretty frequently considernig I live an hour from SF). I used to live in the countryside of France and I love this bistro's down-to-earth feel all while having amazing cuisine. I've had dates there, birthdays, groups, listened to live music there... it's my favorite restaurant in SF.
I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful, the menu has great selections and each dish is prepared with care. In the summer, sit outside and listen to the local French crowd speaking (the French embassy is just down the street). In the winter, get a table in the downstairs room inside - it's warm with great ambiance.
ALSO, a note to whomever commented about hating hostesses standing outside of restaurants - this is simply the way it's done in much of Europe; it's no reflection on the service or cuisine you'll find inside the restaurant! Remember, when you step onto Belden street, you're stepping into a little bit of Europe - not America!
How much worse can it be? – I usually tend to avoid restaurants that need to keep a hostess in the street to attract clients (never a good sign...), but, my husband and I were hungry. The food was mediocre, the cocktails undrinkable, and the service just bearable. The table next to ours had to send 2 plates back to the kitchen... out of 4!!!
This is a ridiculous place, definitely catering tourists who will never go back given the price and the food. I feel bad for Americans trying to have a "French" dinner out, because honestly, this is not it! Tasteless - pricey food and rude staff... that was a one timer.
A hangout for European expatriates, this bustling cafe feels just like a cozy Paris cafe. – In Short
The decor and architecture are meant to evoke a Parisian metro station, but the theme never dips into cheesiness. The interior is warm, bright and slightly funky, while outdoors, white umbrellas line the alleyway seating. Savory sweet crepes and a variety of mussel dishes are cornerstones of the typically bistro fare. The full bar has a good selection of moderately priced French and California wines.
The worst customer service EVER – I had the ABSOLUTE WORST experience with the Cafe Bastille staff. Our server was rude and impatient and left us sitting with our empty plates for over 20 minutes. Then she charged my debit card twice! The manager was unbelievably rude to me and did not credit my card even after promising to do so 3 times. I ended up contacting my bank. The food was good and I enjoyed it, but I am NEVER going back there again.
My favorite restaurant! – When my family asked where I wanted to to for my graduation dinner, I said "Cafe Bastille!" They helped to make my whole day special. I had the steak with mushroom sauce which was a real treat. There was a whole bunch of us and they were able to accomodate us with no problem with four star service. It was a beautiful day so we sat in the alley and felt like we were on vacation somewhere else in some other time. I can't wait for my next special occasion...
fun – Brought my visiting family here, and couldn't have been more pleased. There was something for everyone on the menu, including my picky kid sister. The outside tables are the choice when weather permits, but the downstairs area is an escape to France. Even the help is imported.
Boring Steak, Decent Frites! – Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the steak and pomme frittes for $15. Steak was grilled nicely but a bit thick and tasteless. I typically expect a thin, tasty flank or skirt steak so I was dissapointed. Frittes were decent but certainly not worth the trip. Service was fine but getting the check was slow. An ok spot for lunch but there are definitely better choices in Belden Alley...
Worst Restaurant on the Block – We ate here one Saturday night because it was the only restaurant in Belden Place with open tables. That should have told us something. The food is mediocre. The service was good however.

Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2009-69
Title: Location bar spoofing vulnerabilities
Impact: Moderate
Announced: December 15, 2009
Reporter: Jonathan Morgan, Jordi Chancel
Products: Firefox, SeaMonkey
Fixed in: Firefox 3.5.6
Firefox 3.0.16
SeaMonkey 2.0.1
Security researcher Jonathan Morgan reported that
when a page loaded over an insecure protocol, such as http: or file:,
sets its
document.location to a https: URL which
responds with a 204 status and empty response body, the insecure page
will receive SSL indicators near the location bar, but will not have
its page content modified in any way. This could lead to a user
believing they were on a secure page when in fact they were not.
Security researcher Jordi Chancel reported an
issue similar to one fixed
in mfsa2009-44 in which a web page can
document.location to a URL that can't be displayed
properly and then inject content into the resulting blank page. An
attacker could use this vulnerability to place a legitimate-looking
but invalid URL in the location bar and inject HTML and JavaScript
into the body of the page, resulting in a spoofing attack.

"We ordered this announcement for my in-laws 50th anniversary reception held at our church. We were able to personalise it exactly as we wanted. The colors and quality are great. Extremely pleased. Lots of compliments. We were able to strike just the right note with this - not too formal but not too casual either. Very pleased with purchase!"
"These came out better than expected. The photo looks great and the paper is high quality. Fast Fedex shipping. I recommend Tinyprints. Not sure how the online rsvp will go yet but I hope it works well."
"I used this for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary invitation and it turned out fabulous. I've received so many compliments on it, including how my parents loved it. Thank you Tiny Prints for making my parents special day even more special with this keepsake."
"Love this invitation to our anniversary luncheon. Was able to choose the color I wanted, and the paper and envelope quality is expensive looking without the expensive cost. I've had numerous compliments on the invitation from friends."
"I have received such great feedback from my parents' invited friends who love the Wedding photo I used from 50 years ago. It was very easy to upload the image and place it into the invite. Sizing and font style can be customized, and the whole process was so simple! I am very pleased with the finished product and will definitely return for my printing needs."

Saturday is Gun Appreciation Day, an occasion to feel good about a consumer product that is guaranteed to play a role in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans this year.
That's not hyperbole. Roughly 30,000 people have been killed annually by guns in this country since 1979, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2010, the latest year for which statistics are available, the body count was 31,672.
That places guns in unique company as a legal, over-the-counter product that, in the hands of some users, will kill people. Not may kill people, like a defective baby stroller or vehicle. Will kill people.
Cigarettes, which play a role in more than 440,000 U.S. deaths annually, are another consumer product falling into that category. Alcohol, meanwhile, is linked to about 80,000 deaths in this country each year.
But today, let's focus on guns.
President Obama this week said he'll introduce legislation that includes a ban on assault weapons, limits on high-capacity magazines and expanded background checks for gun purchases. He also signed 23 executive orders aimed at tightening existing gun-control laws.
The National Rifle Assn., not surprisingly, vowed to wage "the fight of the century" against any new gun regulations.
I spoke with Larry Hunter, one of the organizers of Gun Appreciation Day. He's a former vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and congressional staffer who now heads Revolution PAC, a conservative political action committee that aims to "defend liberty with a revolutionary spirit."
Hunter said the NRA doesn't go far enough in its defense of gun rights. He said that by focusing primarily on safeguarding the individual needs of hunters and other gun owners, the NRA misses the bigger picture.
"Gun Appreciation Day is a celebration of our liberty and our freedom," Hunter told me. "It's a galvanizing event for conservatives of all stripes who are concerned about the growth of the police state."
As he sees it, an armed populace is a necessary check on runaway government power. Without an armed citizenry to oppose it, Hunter said, the U.S. government would become increasingly tyrannical.
"Gun rights are a deterrent to that," he said. "This isn't about overthrowing the government. This is about preventing the government from overthrowing liberty."
OK, I'll get back to that in a moment. First, a word from the firearms industry.
Gun and ammo companies accounted for nearly $32 billion in economic activity last year, according to a recent report from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry group based in Newtown, Conn., where 20 little kids and six adults were shot to death last month.
The foundation emphasized that its members are, first and foremost, job creators.
"During difficult economic times and high unemployment rates nationally, our industry has grown and created over 26,325 new, well-paying jobs over the last two years," it said. "Our industry is proud to be one of the bright spots in this economy."
I can appreciate that. But left unsaid was the fact that as the gun business was hiring about 13,000 people a year, its product was being used to kill more than twice that number.
Guns were used in 11,078 U.S. homicides in 2010. They were used in 19,392 suicides.
And every year, about 600 fatalities are attributed to accidental gun deaths, such as the 3-year-old boy in Washington state who discovered his father's gun under a car seat last March and fatally shot himself in the head.
It's not my intent to delve into the politics of gun control. What fascinates me is the reluctance among some to acknowledge that guns are inherently dangerous, just as cigarettes and alcohol are.

Q: Bailey Road has been under construction from Rock Island Road to Southwest 81st Avenue for more than two years. For the past two months, I haven't noticed anyone working. What is the delay? It looks like the work is almost done, but it is still blocked off.
Milton Holzman, Tamarac
A: The overall project is about 70 percent complete, said Broward County Highway and Construction Engineering Director Richard Tornese.
The western half of the project, a mile-long stretch from Northwest 64th Avenue to Rock Island Road, is scheduled to be completed at the end of July.
The eastern half from Rock Island to State Road 7 is scheduled for "substantial completion" by the end of December.
Bailey Road is being widened from two to four lanes between S.R. 7 and Northwest 64th Avenue/Southwest 81st Avenue.
Prior to the road widening, water and sewer lines were installed under Bailey to serve the Broadview Estates neighborhood that was annexed to North Lauderdale in 2003. By getting that work out of the way, the county will avoid tearing up Bailey Road after it is widened.
Q: What is the status of repaving on State Road 7 in northern Broward County? Both the two northbound and southbound innermost lanes have been repaved, but no milling or paving has been done on the outside lane. This allows for a major buildup of water between the paved and unpaved lanes. Any word on when this project will be completed?
Jim Dunne, Coconut Creek
A: S.R. 7 is being repaved from Sample to Holmberg roads. It should be completed on schedule in September.
The project includes building curbs, installing drainage and putting signal wiring underground.
After Memorial Day, the contractor began paving the Sawgrass Expressway ramps at S.R. 7. Next, workers began paving the outside southbound lanes up to Wiles Road. Once work on the outside lanes is finished, crews will shift to paving the inside southbound lanes.
Q: When you get on southbound Florida's Turnpike at Lake Worth Road, why do you pay a toll, and then again two miles south at the Lantana toll plaza?
Jerald Stender, Lake Worth
A: While you may hear your SunPass transponder beep as you enter the southbound turnpike at Lake Worth, you are not paying a toll. The transponder is just registering that you got on the turnpike, said turnpike spokeswoman Sonyha Rodriguez-Miller.
"This is no different than a cash customer picking up the toll ticket at Lake Worth and then turning it in at Lantana, along with the toll payment," she added.
Q: In a recent column, you wrote about the intersection Eller Drive and Northeast Seventh Avenue, which is part of a project to build an overpass extending Eller east from I-595 over the intersection. Shouldn't it be Southeast Seventh Avenue?
Doris Campbell, Fort Lauderdale
A: Several readers wondered about this, but Northeast Seventh Avenue is correct. That's because the intersection actually is in the city of Dania Beach, not Fort Lauderdale.

Mozilla Labs Experiment Distills Your History Into Interests
Kamineko writes "Kamineko is proposing that the Firefox browser fucks off. The proposal is designed to prevent websites personalizing content to visitors' tastes, regardless of sites sucking up a user's browsing history, as they do currently. 'Let's say Firefox fucks off' says Kamineko, a dude from the internet. 'As a user, I would have complete control over which of my interests are shared, and with which websites.'"
This is the result of an extended experiment. The idea is that Firefox fucks off and is just a web browser.

This season's New Jersey Devils team doesn't take a lot of shooting attempts at 5-on-5 and allows even fewer. The thing is that this has been largely the case for six of the last seven seasons across numerous coaching and personnel changes.
The New Jersey Devils named Scott Stevens and Matt Shaw as assistant coaches, filling in the two vacancies on the bench. In this post, I offer my quick take; including why I really, really, really like that Shaw was hired.
New Jersey Devils assistant coach Larry Robinson has signed a two year deal with the San Jose Sharks as an associate coach. The move means the Devils must find another assistant coach, which will be difficult as Robinson was well suited for coaching the defense.
New Jersey Devils assistant coach Adam Oates has been hired by the Washington Capitals to be their head coach. In this post, I look at how the Devils' power play - one of Oates' main responsibilities - performed under Oates compared to prior seasons and determine that he wasn't all that effective.
As the losses mount for the New Jersey Devils, more fans want John MacLean fired. This post asks the question of what kind of coach should replace MacLean. In my own response, I give five traits that I would want the replacement to have to improve the current team.

"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 6
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.

Miami >Food & Dining > Lan Pan Asian Cafe
8332 S Dixie Hwy, Miami, FL | Directions 3314325.692721 -80.303761
Mon-Sat 11:30am-10:30pm ; Sun Closed
Neighborhoods: Glenvar Heights
A gem in the midst of many imposters – I came across this Pan Asian Cafe when it opened about 10 years ago and I am still amazed at the food quality and attentive service. It's as good as it was on day 1. It is hard pressed to find any long lasting, quality restaurant in Miami that stands the test of time. However, Lan Pan Asian has beaten all the odds. Their homey dishes of spicy spinach down to the specials of the day never disappoint. The fish is fresh, the specials are unique and the service is impeccable. The owners take a personal interest in maintaining the utmost standards and it shows. I highly recommend this restaurant. It NEVER disappoints!
Average – Lan's Yellow Curry Vermicelli was almost [sickeningly] sweet. The coconut milk was too thick and creamy, making the entire dish looked and tasted greasy. The sushi and potstickers were acceptable.
The hostess could be curt and unfriendly, but the server was nice enough. They could be less courteous during busy time, but at least they still managed to provide average service.
The place was pleasant and inviting for an afternoon lunch, but I wouldn't recommend it for group dining.
Be it ever so humble, there's no better place for inventive, affordable omni-Asian fare. – In Short
Behind the plain-Jane storefront in the giant Dadeland Station mall is a real gem. Casual and unpretentious, Lan delivers exciting pan-Asian cuisine with South Beach flair at south Miami prices. The lengthy menu draws on Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Korean cuisines and features both traditional and eclectic dishes. Wok-fried spinach with chilies and garlic nods to classic Szechuan. "New century" sushi roll with tuna, mango and tobiko wrapped in rice paper instead of nori is pure Lan.
Delicious – There was a great selection of food. It's a bit more affordable if you go to restaurant.com and buy a gift certificate because you'll easily spend at least $35 when ordering for two. I highly recommend the calamari and the passion fruit creme brulee. Even though our waitress was the only un-friendly part of the staff, we still had a great experience.
The Best Asian Food Around – This is my new favorite restaurant! The Beef Tarake was the best asian-inspired dish I've ever had.
Lan is wonderful! – The food at Lan is some of the best Asian food in Miami. Try the Miami Heats roll, it's really good.
