In-service date change: The In-service date planned for January 27 has been changed to January 20.
Martin Luther King observance: The Huntingdon community will remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a Day of Service Monday, January 16, and with the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Convocation, Tuesday, January 17, at 7:30 p.m. in Ligon Chapel, Flowers Hall. The featured speaker for the convocation is Bishop James E. McCoy of the Alabama-Florida Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. The convocation, which is free and open to the public, will also feature performances by the Lee High School choir, the Mt. Zion AME Zion Church choir, and the Huntingdon men's choir. During the Day of Service, students will meet at the Hut at 7:00 a.m. and travel to Tuskegee to serve with the Alabama Rural Ministry and the Tuskegee University Wesley Foundation (contact Brian Smith '94, chaplain and director of community service, for more information). Following lunch at McDonald's, participants will tour the Tuskegee Airman Museum. Friday, January 20 (an In-service Day), 10 free tickets are available for students to see the 4:00 p.m. showing of "Red Tails," a movie about the Tuskegee airmen starring Cuba Gooding Jr., which opens that day. There will be no classes but offices will be open Monday, January 16, in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
Print and Mail Facility opens: With the intent of added convenience for students, faculty, and staff, the PrintShop moved to space adjacent to the MailRoom in Catherine Dixon Roland Student Center during the Christmas break. The new facility is operated under the direction of Tech Team member Ken Garrett and Nicole Duff '08, supplemented by work-study students. Copiers and printers will be operated by staff, while a self-service area facilitates laminating, folding, trimming, and binding. Documents to be printed can be emailed to email@example.com or hand-carried to the new facility.
Residence Hall Consolidation matches friends and roommates: The annual Roommate Roundup, matching campus residents whose former roommates have either graduated or moved out of their rooms or those who would like to change roommates, will take place next week. Freshmen should report to Searcy Hall 3rd floor lobby at 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, January 17. Upperclass students should report to Blount 3rd floor lobby at 6:00 p.m., Wednesday, January 18. Changes must be completed by Thursday, January 26, at 4:00 p.m. The process allows residents to find roommates on their own terms rather than being assigned a roommate by the Office of Residence Life. Once the process is complete, those who have received roommates will be charged the double occupancy rate, while those without roommates will be charged for the single room price, which is roughly $1500 more per semester. There will be no further room or roommate changes for the semester after consolidation is complete, and students will be billed accordingly. Questions? See your RA, RD, or speak with Sandra Betts Hall, director of residence life, at email@example.com or x4349.
Attention music composers! Dr. James Conely, adjunct instructor of organ in the Department of Music, invites any student who is studying with a Huntingdon music instructor to compose an original work, 2-to-5 minutes in length, suitable for organ. The winning composer will receive $100 and will be offered a public performance during Dr. Conely's March 27 organ recital in Ligon Chapel. The deadline for submissions is February 1. Questions?

Page To Stage Musical
Chasing the Song
May 13 - June 15, 2014
Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre
Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro
The creators of the Tony Award-winning musical Memphis follow the evolving American music scene into the early 1960s in this rock 'n' roll-inspired new musical. Elegant Edie's team of hit-makers is upended by the arrival of the newest aspiring songwriter – Edie's daughter Ginny. As Ginny strives to earn her place in the male-dominated world of songwriting, American rock 'n' roll finds itself under siege from the incoming British Invasion.
Directed by Artistic Director Christopher Ashley
La Jolla Playhouse
El Henry
June 14 - June 29, 2014
SILO in Makers Quarter, 753 15th Street
By Herbert Siguenza
It's the year 2045 in a huge, run-down metropolis called Aztlan City (formerly San Diego), where political apathy and corruption run the city while violent barrio families run the streets. Written in Calo, a unique poetic cadence that mixes urban Spanish and English slang, and performed outdoors in an urban street environment – this world premiere adaptation is Shakespeare for the 21st Century.
El Henry is a Without Walls production produced in association with San Diego Repertory Theatre. All performances take place at SILO in Maker's Quarter, East Village San Diego.
Featuring BD Wong
The Orphan of Zhao
July 8 - August 3, 2014
Mandell Weiss Theatre
A new adaptation by James Fenton
Co-production with American Conservatory Theatre
BD Wong returns to the Playhouse in a luminous reinvention of a classic Chinese legend. In the aftermath of a violent coup, an epic story of self-sacrifice and revenge plays out as a young orphan discovers the shattering truth behind his origins. Often described as the Chinese Hamlet, this gripping tale was the first Chinese play to be translated in the West and has inspired countless operas, plays and movies.
Featuring Tony Award Winner BD Wong
West Coast Premiere
Ether Dome
July 13 - August 10, 2014
Mandell Weiss Forum
By Elizabeth Egloff
Co-production with Huntington Theatre Company and Hartford Stage
When a new treatment promises to eradicate pain, a doctor and his student play out an epic battle between altruism and ambition. Based on the true story of the discovery of ether as an anesthetic in 1846, Ether Dome is a fascinating new play that explores the pain that afflicts humankind, our attempts to find relief and the beginning of healthcare as big business.
Written by Elizabeth Egloff
World Premiere Play
Kingdom City
September 4 - October 5, 2014
Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre
By Sheri Wilner
When displaced New York director Miriam finds herself in Kingdom City, Missouri, she reluctantly agrees to direct a high school production of The Crucible. As the students fall deeper into their roles, the play unlocks their own unspoken desires, creating a firestorm in this small, predominantly Christian town. A comic and smart world premiere in which a 20th Century classic play inspires a 21st Century showdown.
Written by Sheri Wilner
U.S. Premiere Musical

James H. Korn Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Award
One of the goals of the Reinert Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning is to promote faculty inquiry and scholarly research on teaching and learning. In 2006, the Center established the James H. Korn Award for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, in recognition of Dr. Korn's many contributions to research on teaching and learning. Professor emeritus in Psychology, Dr. Korn was deeply committed to scholarly teaching; he was also a member of the faculty committee that first established the Center in 1997.
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) involves asking questions about student learning and teaching activities; answering those questions by assessing student learning and effectiveness of teaching strategies; and publicly sharing results of this inquiry in a setting that invites peer review.
Examples of SoTL research include:
- Implementation of a new teaching strategy and documenting its effectiveness;
- Documentation of development and implementation of an interdisciplinary teaching approach;
- Research on teacher performance, e.g. research on the effect of videotaping on teacher performance;
- Evaluation of the effectiveness of a new teaching approach in a course or curriculum, e.g. evaluation of the use of collaborative writing in a composition course;
- Research on effectiveness of integrating service learning or technology into a course.
An Award ceremony is held during the fall semester; recipient(s) receive their award at that time, as well as present briefly on the award-winning research.
The following criteria are applied in the selection of the James H. Korn Award recipient(s):
- Nominees must be current, full-time faculty members at Saint Louis University. Note: a team of individuals or a department may be nominated as long as at least one member of team is currently a full-time faculty member at SLU.
- Nominees conducted research on teaching and student learning. (Examples of SoTL research are given above.)
- Results of this research were disseminated to peers through means such as publication, conference presentation or poster session, invited presentation, departmental or school symposium.
- Nominees must be willing to present the research results at the Award ceremony.
Please note: Previous recipients of this award are ineligible to be awarded a second time.
The Call for Nominations typically is issued each spring. Nominations can be self-submitted or submitted by others knowledgeable of the nominees' work. Recipient(s) are selected through a peer review process, led by SLU faculty.
Please note: We are not currently taking nominations for this award.

just so-so – average food, average service..ok family environment. been there a few times, service is slow for sure.
Not too bad. – Not a bad place to eat. The food is actually pretty good. However, the service is incredibly slow. It took us over an hour to get our food.
nice'n close – I have one very close to my home. Not too crowded, reasonable, nice food. I love their wings. I go there when I want to catch a quick-drink-supper. Their large screen and beach-painting amuse me.

One of the great things about running your own business is the freedom to carry out your vision. But what if, in doing so, you could also help those in need? While the concept of social entrepreneurship dates back to the 1960s, it's had a resurgence and is catching on with companies big and small. The change that social entrepreneurship can bring to a community and the world at large, as well as its value to a company's image—and perhaps even bottom line—can be significant.
A social entrepreneur recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create and manage a system to achieve change for the longer term. This can be anything from bringing clean water to an impoverished area to providing clothes for those in need to helping build sustainable homes.
Social Entrepreneurship Models
There are a variety of creative ways a company can implement social entrepreneurship. While there's no strict formula, there are a few models companies can follow to achieve their goals. Here are four ways to incorporate social entrepreneurship:
1. Giving One-for-One
One popular model for social entrepreneurship is exemplified by TOMS Shoes and its "One-for-One" approach, which promises to give a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold. According to the company's website, TOMS has given more than one million pairs of new shoes to children worldwide. Recently, it's expanded its mission to include sunglasses.
TOMS isn't the only shoe retailer with a shoe-giving program. Skechers recently introduced the BOBS initiative, which also provides shoes to children in impoverished areas for every pair sold. Online book reseller Better World Books also applies the buy one/give one model by partnering with organizations like Books for Africa and Feed the Children to distribute donated books.
2. Making a Difference with Actual Products
Some companies sell products that exemplify the very difference they're trying to make. Seventh Generation, for example, prides itself on offering green, sustainable household products that create a healthier and more sustainable future for the "next seven generations." Likewise, EcoScraps sustainably transforms biodegradable food waste into healthy compost. These are some examples of companies founded with a broader mission as its purpose.
3. Donating a Portion of Your Proceeds
Perhaps the most common form of social entrepreneurship is when a company pledges to contribute to a cause when their product or service is purchased. Health and beauty company Lush currently donates proceeds from their Charity Pot lotion product to various charities. Project360 gives a portion of every fashion purchase to worthy causes. Even companies that don't have social entrepreneurship roots can implement this model into an existing business.
4. Providing the Impetus for Change
One of the largest organizations championing social entrepreneurship is Ashoka, which identifies and supports social entrepreneurs who have innovative and positive ideas for social change. Ashoka's CEO, chairman and founder Bill Drayton sees them as those who "[aren't] content just to give a fish or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry." Ashoka is not funded by government entities and relies on private funding. Last year, the organization had revenues close to $30 million.
Tips for Social Entrepreneurs
If you're considering social entrepreneurship for a new or existing business, here are a few tips (as featured in Inc. magazine):
Whether it's a whole new venture or a modification to your existing business plan, even a small level of support and social action can go a long way toward helping a worthy cause—and building your brand.

Some people were having problems receiving certain types of SMS messages. The solution appeared to be quite complicated so I tried to simplify it...
Solution does not work. When found I will post here
To fix SMS problems:
(Note: You must have some decent technical understanding to use this method and an already unlocked iPhone)
1. Download necessary files:
-The program Putty. Link: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/.../x86/putty.exe
-'eep' file. Link: http://*.com/files/55291143/eepfiles.zip (Replace * with R@pidshare)
-AppTappInstaller, Link: http://www.nullriver.com/~adam/AppTappInstaller.exe
-iBrickr. Link: http://cre.ations.net/creation/ibrickr
2. Make sure your iPhone Auto-Lock settings are set to 'Never'
3. Open 'AppTappInstaller.exe' to install the installer onto your iPhone. Once installed, it should appear on your springboard. Open it and then install 'OpenSSH' and the 'BSD Subsystem'
3. Open iBrickr, select 'Files', and in the iBrickr file manager view, on the right side of the screen, click the on the picture of the iPhone where it says 'bin/', it will look like a hyperlink.
4. Click the 'Upload files' button, then select the 'ICE03.14.08_G.eep' included in the 'eepFiles.zip' file.
5. Now that all the files are in the right place, continue to the next step.
6. Open up 'Putty.exe'
7. In the 'Hostname' box type in the IP of your iPhone (Can be found on the iPhone under 'Settings' then 'Wi-Fi').
8. When asked for a login, User: root , Password: dottie
9. Now click 'Open'
10. Type into Putty (or copy-paste) then afterwards press 'enter': launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
11. Then: bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls
12. Then: cd /usr/bin
13. Then: bbupdater -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep
14. Then: launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
15. The IMEI should now change to something like 004999010640000 and the iPhone will not accept any SIM cards. If this is not the case, then go back to step 10 and try again.
16. Unlock your iPhone again using the exact process you used to unlock your iPhone in the first place.
17. Restart iPhone and enjoy your bug free iPhone.

text: Hello, I replaced a delta shower cartridge on my single handle shower to stop a leak. The leak stopped but now when I turn the sink off or the toilet shuts off after a flush, I can hear hammering coming from the shower. There was some rust colored water coming out of the faucet after turning the water back on. So there might be sediment in the pipes. I even tried putting the original one back in with the springs and rubber seals from the new cartridge. Its the 1300 and 1400 series cartridge. Any ideas how to stop the hammering and knocking?

Bombs break hearts as well as bodies
Images and video footage of Hillary Clinton greeting Phongsavath Souliylath in a rehabilitation centre in Laos this week have been splashed across papers, shared, liked, and commented upon by Lao people, aid workers, and international campaigners.
Phongsavath lost both hands and his eyesight when his friend passed him a "funny-looking object" that he found by the roadside as the boys walked to school. The unexploded bomb, a remnant of the Vietnam War, exploded in Phongsavath's hands. It was his 16th birthday.
Reports of Phongsavath's meeting with the US Secretary of State are being heralded as a monumental step forward for the tiny land-locked country and its people, and have elicited quite emotional reactions from people who have lived and worked in Laos.
The footage of 22-year-old Phongsavath excitedly telling Hillary Clinton in a well-practiced speech that he wished "you and all the people, and the American government… to have a good health and that all your good dreams come true" brought a tear to my eye. Each of the 15 times I've watched it.
This is partly because I, like others, recognise that Clinton's visit to Laos and her meeting with Phongsavath is a step forward for this tiny country and its people.
But mostly because I worked with Phongsavath a great deal during my time in Laos, and I can say with certainty that he really does wish the American government good health and good dreams.
Despite the fact that it was their bombing campaign during the Indochina War that left his country riddled with unexploded ordnance, which continues to kill and maim civilians, particularly children.
Despite the fact that he lost his hands and eyesight in an accident with an American bomb. And despite the fact that the US government has done very little to clean up the mess they left behind or to provide assistance for the victims their bombing campaign still claims… 40 years later.
The facts are these:
Per capita, Laos is the most bombed country in the history of the world. To sever critical supply lines during the Vietnam War, the USA waged a secret war on Vietnam's tiny neighbour.
The CIA dropped more bombs on Laos than were dropped in the whole Second World War. Many of these bombs were cluster munitions: bombs that open mid-descent, dispersing hundreds of sub-munitions over a vast area. These are known by the Lao people as "bombies".
More than 280 million bombies were dropped on Laos between 1964 and 1973, and 30 per cent failed to detonate on impact. They remain in the mountainous Lao landscape, in its villages and farmlands.
They are deadly reminders of a war long over.
Each year, 350 people in Laos have accidents with cluster munitions. They are parents who farm their lands to feed their families, knowing they risk hitting a cluster bomb with their picks or shovels. They are children, like Phongsavath, who find something that looks like a toy and try to open it.
This is an atrocious problem for a tiny, developing country like Laos. Recognising this, the international community came together to address the problem.
The Convention on Cluster Munitions came into force in August 2010. It bans the use, production, and stockpiling of cluster munitions, and stipulates that victims must be assisted.
And remarkably, Laos isn't a country that bears a grudge. As dear Phongsavath's excited message to the US Secretary of State clearly illustrates, this little nation and its people are actively forgetting the past, and instead, look hopefully towards a future that the Convention promises will be brighter.
Not just for Laos, but for the world. More than anything, cluster munitions survivors in Laos are keen to ensure that what has happened to them can't happen to anybody else.
But here's the kicker. The USA hasn't signed the Convention. Nor have they spent more than a pittance to clear Laos of the bombs they dropped 40 years ago, or to support the people living with disabilities sustained in cluster munitions accidents.
The lack of support demonstrated by the USA for an international law that could, really, change the world for people like Phongsavath has inspired the USA's friends – including Australia – to implement national laws that fly in the face of the spirit of the Convention.
Australia is on the brink of passing national legislation that will allow us full cooperation with our military allies – like the USA - who have not joined the Convention. Australian defence forces will be free to assist in the use of cluster bombs in every way. The only thing that the legislation will prevent them from doing is actually pushing the button.
This is inconsistent with an international law that exists to "unequivocally, and for all time, end the suffering caused by cluster munitions".
Clinton's visit to Laos has once again inspired hope in the Lao people that the USA will finally fix things, that its friends will follow, and that the suffering will come to an end.
It's the suffering that must be called to attention in this historic moment. Because despite Phongsavath's happy and excited exchange with Hillary Clinton, I can tell you - he is not always happy.
Something he once told me has haunted me since.
"When the bombs came," he said, "They didn't just break our bodies. They also broke our hearts."

"More than 280 million bombies were dropped on Laos between 1964 and 1973, and 30 per cent failed to detonate on impact"- I had no idea. Thank you for this article, and this insight into this small nation.
Marks says:
Every year tons of unexploded ordnance are dug up by farmers in France & Belgium every year, somewhere under Flanders fields are massive underground mines of hundreds of tons of explosive. Many people are killed or maimed by mines & unexploded ordnance in Northern Africa every year.
Weapons are designed to kill & maim, in fact maiming is better from the pure cost benefit viewpoint then killing. It still removes a combatant but costs your enemy more. All weapons break hearts as well as bodies, every killed or maimed person regardless of if they are civilian, a combatant or a child is a human being.
Weapons bans only work for all if the weapon they ban on a cost benefit viewpoint is no good. This is why the ban on dum dum bullets works, fully jacketed bullets are more likely to maim not kill then dum dum bullets while still taking the combatant out of action.
This is also the case with biological, chemical weapons & nuclear weapons; in most cases when both sides are capable of using them they provide no benefit. The same cannot be said if only one side has the ability to use them.
International law like all law does not exist unless it can be enforced. No nation is obliged to follow any so called international law they do not wish to unless forced to do so by greater force. And even the convention does not say that those who have signed must obey it as Ms Miller regards suitable. In fact Ms Millers opinion is not mentioned anywhere at all as being binding on anybody. If she wishes to change Australian Law to fit her ideal of the perfect world, let her stand for election.
Cluster bombs work. The ban on cluster bombs like the ban on crossbows in medieval periods will only apply to tiny little nations not capable of defending themselves. It is only any good to stop arms sales to tin pot 3rd world dictatorships to use to kill their own people. The USA, China, Russia etc will do as they like & their allies like Australia will comply.
Kassandra says:
What "national legislation" in Australia is being referred to here? Some relevant details would be useful. I doubt that the ADF would have anything to do with cluster munitions, even if we had bombers to carry them, which I don't think we do. What makes you think otherwise? Who on earth would the ADF want to bomb?
Archie Law says:
Fantastic article! I would like to think that a piece of Clinton's heart broke when she met a young man with such dignity in spite of the crimes the US committed in his country. Mark cool story bro except there your provide no answers other than massive human rights violations are part of global power struggles so we just should get used to it. Nothing in here on the success of the Mine Ban Treaty and the massive reduction in the use of anti personnel mines to the point where its only intransigents like the US, Libya, Syria, Russia who use the things. Just maybe this provides hope that the cluster munitions treaty stigmatises the use of that weapon as well and only intransigents use it. It aint perfect, nothing ever is, but its a start.
Futureproof says:
I wonder if Clinton flew into the country with snipers attacking her, as she had claimed many years ago in Bosnia
Pam says:
So if warfare is inevitable we don't need to read about any lasting repercussions? Is it co-incidence that ordinance is dug up in the first world Belgium and France, whilst still killling and maiming in third world Nth Africa and Laos? I think not.
Shout loud and often and things change. Just we don't all know what needs to change.
More articles like this please
Barrie says:
Good article Holly, keep it up.
A lot of the time war is just business in another guise.
The collateral murder that takes place afterward due to things like mines and cluster munitions is ignored because its not good press and there's no profit in cleaning it up, after all the perpetrators need all the money they can get to fight the next (profit) war.
Ghandi was asked one day what he thought of civilisation, he replied, well, its a nice idea.
stephen says:
I seem to remember George W. Bush remembering himself the Agent who did all the damage, and there was not an enemy in the house in Old Saigon when reparations were made, financial and otherwise.
The then President was very sorry for the damage done.
Vietnam was and is the great error of US Foreign Policy, no doubt about it, but no comparison can be made with current circumstances in The Middle East.
The latter position, that of our involvement in Middle Eastern affairs, is a reason why Vietnam, Pinochet, the USSR, bootlegging and Wyatt Earp come up when vegetable gardeners want what they think is good for them : an easy life when a computer starts up slow, and I must think of a reason why.
America is an active nation, and so should we be.
PhilD says:
War is hell. From a letter written by General Sherman to the leaders of Atlanta:
"You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace."
"But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter."
For the full letter:
Jesse says:
Until reading this article, I was unaware of either the scale of the bombing in Laos or the continuing problems posed by unexploded cluster munitions in that region. America as the primary perpetrator, and Australia, as its would-be collaborator in future military pursuits, must seriously ask itself "What is appropriate in war?" and "What is our responsibility to its victims in the inevitably messy aftermath?" It is one of the great tragedies of modern warfare that civilian populations are considered legitimate targets of extreme military action. It has become too easy to dismiss the ethical arguments against such behavior, and to ignore its ongoing effect on individuals such as Phongsavath.
Sadly, it is the third world, unable either to defend itself from military assault or even adequately represent its own interests in the international arena, that so often bears the brunt of these heavy-handed tactics. The practice has become so widespread, dare I say so accepted a part of offensive action, that it no longer draws the appropriate degree of media coverage or public outrage. Congratulations on an article that so clearly and sympathetically addresses what is obviously a very serious problem. Thank you.
Janet says:
An inspiring and challenging article that highlights the impact of cluster bombs in the context of the personal and inspiring experiences of a young advocate. The article clearly captures the impact of an atrocity in our time that is little known and even less understood. The challenge will be to see if the US Secretary of State's words from this visit become more than window dressing on the world stage. Phohgsavath is a young man who has courageously taken on the role of advocate against cluster bombing while there are thousands of survivors who live daily with severe disabilities, as a result of this little know war on Laos. The next challenge will be to see if Clinton can, or even wants to, use her engaging style to convince the US government to sign the Cluster Munitions Convention and to provide resources to clear the bombs in Laos and provide support for the thousands living with disabilities as a direct results of this US.

Poet, novelist, painter and musician, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is the grand master of Bengali culture. Written during the 1890s, the stories in this selection brilliantly recreate vivid images of Bengali life and landscapes in their depiction of peasantry and gentry, casteism, corrupt officialdom and dehumanizing poverty. Yet Tagore is first and foremost India's supreme Romantic poet, and in these stories he can be seen reaching beyond mere documentary realism towards his own profoundly original vision.

Could a president order drone strikes against journalists? I'm not worried. No, really. Not much.
But the broad sweep of our government's counterterrorism policy on targeted killings by unmanned drones, coupled with the U.S. Justice Department's new aggressiveness against media leaks, makes me wonder whether we journos should watch our step.
I first heard the question raised in February by Amy Davidson, a New Yorker senior editor in an online panel she hosted on the ethics of choosing drone targets. Would a journalist working overseas qualify as a potential target, she asked, if he or she was about to release classified information that might provoke a terror strike or other real danger to Americans?
One panelist, Michael Walzer, author of "Just and Unjust Wars," thought, no, the danger to Americans had "to come directly not indirectly from the target before he can be a target."
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
But Jeff McMahan, a professor of philosophy at Rutgers University who has written several books on the ethics of war, thought the journalist could be a target if that was the only way to save innocent lives, although he cautioned that the possibility of such a circumstance was very remote.
That's a relief. But the central question — Who is "dangerous" and who decides? — remained unsettled and unsettling.
I bring it up again because, three months later, the question has taken on a new relevance with disclosures of Justice Department probes into call records of more than 20 phone lines of 100 journalists for The Associated Press regarding leaks of a U.S. counterterrorism operation in Yemen.
Even more shocking was the later news that in an application for a warrant that allowed the FBI to read Fox News reporter James Rosen's private emails, the bureau alleged that Rosen could be a "co-conspirator" in spy charges under the Espionage Act. The agents were pursuing the leak of information to Rosen in 2009 on how North Korea might react to a United Nations resolution that condemned its nuclear test.
I don't raise the very remote — I still hope — possibility of targeted drone strikes against journalists because I think it's going to happen. I raise it to illustrate how murky our current policy is in regard to how such decisions are made and how easily they might be subject to abuse.
I also raise it to help me to put you into the shoes of people who live in countries that are on the receiving end of U.S. drone strikes. We should not be surprised that our drones may be stirring up so much anti-American resentment on the ground that they create more terrorists than they kill.
I certainly prefer the use of drones over the option of sending in ground troops and endangering even more innocent lives. But the ease of drone use is tempting enough to lead to overuse, especially if it is not guided by clear policies with clear limits.
President Barack Obama took an important step toward much-needed clarity in his major national security speech last week at the National Defense University, although he needs to go further.
On drones, he wants limits. But he offered few specifics, except promises to try harder to avoid killing innocent people. He could begin by ending "signature strikes," in which drones are used against individuals who demonstrate the "signature" of militant activity.
That unfortunately calls for enough guesswork to lead to the deaths of innocent people. Obama indicated he wants to at least reduce signature strikes, but left a troubling number of vague loopholes and questions unanswered.
"Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs," he said of the chilling effect imposed by aggressive leak investigations. Yet journalists remained at risk, even as he spoke and his proposed legislation probably would not have applied to the AP or Fox News cases.
It would be better to simply require prosecutors to convince a federal judge of the need to search journalists' records in such cases. Treating reporters like criminal suspects is a precedent this administration never should have set.

Professor Dawkins has spoken before of the trouble with lending "the oxygen of respectability" to a certain type of person, but there is always the dilemma of being considered a coward, or close-minded or whatever. One solution is to wear a clown suit; who is the real clown will become apparent as the debate progresses. Being "present" only as an empty chair achieves much the same end. Perhaps Craig's stunt there is him shooting himself in the foot.

I look forward to seeing you not appear in Newcastle upon Tyne on the evening in question.
Can't wait, so excited.
I'm bringing my copy of The God Delusion for you not to sign.
How jealous all my friends will be when I show them the much treasured unsigned copy that you didn't sign when you never appeared in Newcastle upon Tyne!
I feel so privileged that in years to come my children will be able to point at my diary entry for that auspicious day and say out loud 'Look! See! Father was there - even though Richard wasn't - and here's the unsigned copy of The God Delusion to prove it!'
Some moments in one's life are priceless - this, undoubtedly will be one.
Thank you.

WLC - What a Load of .....
Elitism born out of bronze age racism paraded as a myth gene of 'holy' evil, as a philosophical position? I don't think so! Brainwashed literacy worthy of debate? Hardly a rational starter! Kudos to delusions as claims upon real estate? We are naturally suspicious of your motives and why you consider we should take you seriously!
Xenophobia seems to be your thing for which you seem to want to gather support rather than seek psychological help. This is the paradox you present - a financially supported denial of the mental illness to which you ascribe your agendas.
We don't take such thoughts and feelings seriously in terms of their being worthy for consideration. They need dumping is about where it's at. End of. Anything not prepared to consider this reasonable position is a blatant request for sanctioned denial!

This idiot is a glutton for punishment,he was destroyed by Sam Harris a few months ago in what was an embarrassingly one sided contest.Richard would just devour him and is perfectly correct in not giving him the oxygen of publicity.

thanks for writing this. my partner was aking why there were busses going round oxford calling you out
i would quite like to go to the debate though. just to see if he gets the irony of the fact he's debating with someone who isn't there. could throw in some audience questions like "are you sort of praying to Richard right now?" and "how can you tell it's really Richard who isn't in the chair?"

Comment 19 by MrClaw
Craig says:
"I have come to appreciate as a result of a closer reading of the biblical text that God's command to Israel was not primarily to exterminate the Canaanites but to drive them out of the land.[…] Canaan was being given over to Israel, whom God had now brought out of Egypt. If the Canaanite tribes, seeing the armies of Israel, had simply chosen to flee, no one would have been killed at all.
Now Craig is very poor philosopher (the Kalam Cosmological Argument fails on EVERY premise!); it would seem from this blabber that he is also a very poor theologian, as he obviously hasn't read his 'texts' very carefully:
And it came to pass, as [the Canaanites] fled from before Israel, [and] were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: [they were] more which died with hailstones than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
Joshua 10.11
So Yaweh takes specific pleasure in actively slaughtering the Canaanites as they are trying to run away.

I am sure that many people would love to have proof of the existence of a god (although most don't loose sleep over the fact that there isn't one), what bothers me about WLC is that his arguments offer nothing in support of the existence of a god. He also does nothing to explain the existence of anything else either. I find it astonishing that anyone would want to live for billions of years which also seems to be a common thread throughout religion.

Blockquote You would search far to find a modern preacher willing to defend God's commandment,
I do not know how it is in England, but here in the United States it isn't that hard to find people who agree with Craig. I was sent to a Southern Baptist church, in my youth, and I have known many other evangelicals. They talk just like this guy as well as will tell you that you have such a small mind in comparison to their mythical god. So you cannot hope to understand his purpose. So you are in no position to judge their mythical god nor is commands.
you can also see me not appear in Cambridge, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow and, if time allows, Bristol.
I like this.

One wonders why god stops at killing the men, women and children. Why not kill his chosen people too, so that they can go to heaven aswell? Let's just kill the entire world so that a mass emigration to heaven may begin. Oh please mystical fairy god, giver of gifts?

I always wondered what this poem was about. Now I realise it was obviously written on the occasion of Richard meeting WLC

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

I agree eloquent. I wonder if anyone has asked WLC whether the same ethics apply in Canaan today on the West Bank because many of the settlers there use the same Biblical arguments to support their actions against the Palestinian Arabs living in that part of what was once Canaan. I say this as a Jew and an ardent supporter of Israel's continued existence as a democracy that is hopefully able to maintain it Jewish personality but with equal rights for all of its citizens.

Why not do it this way? A couple of persons from the audience suddenly stand up during the Q&A session (or, if you prefer, in the middle of Craig's speech) and begin quoting these words simultaneously.

This is actually a disappointing rant and character assassination from you Professor Dawkins. Craig hasn't actually committed genocide or murdered children (as far as I know) but he is being consistent with Christian apologetics, that rather makes Christianity look even more absurd than it is. I never felt you had a need to justify not engaging with Craig, but now you're engaging with him indirectly, and that's undermining your own sense of moral superiority.

The Records
The Records of the Post Office (RG 3)
The Post Office was created as a federal department in 1867. Although postal operations in Canada date from 1755, postal services were under the control of British authorities until 1851. In 1981, the Post Office ceased to be a government department and became a Crown corporation. The mandate of the Post Office is to establish, operate and maintain a full range of postal services in Canada. To achieve this objective, the corporation's functional activities are divided into corporate affairs, operational services, marketing, finance, personnel and administration, as well as systems and engineering.
The records of the Post Office are divided into several series consisting of administrative and operational files covering all aspects of the activities of the Post Office such as the establishment and closing of offices, air mail, censorship, rural mail delivery, Eastern Arctic patrol, equipment, international communications, contracts, railway mail, ocean mail, personnel and various enquiries.
The data used to create the Post Office Index database originated from the series entitled Divisional Inspectors Reports (RG 3, Series D-3). The Divisional Inspector was responsible for the observance of postal laws and regulations, the establishment of new offices and routes, the regulation of existing routes, the investigation of robberies and abstractions, enquiries into complaints and misconduct, making regular personal visits to each post office and generally overseeing the performance of mail service. By 1861, each Divisional Inspector was responsible for between 200 and 400 post offices within his district. Initially, there were only two divisions, Canada East and Canada West, but by 1870 that number had grown to seven: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Montreal, Kingston, Toronto and London. As postal service expanded, additional Postal Divisions and Inspectorships were created.
The Database
The database has been created from a series of postal history record cards (RG 3, vols. 3484-3536) documenting changes of postmasters at individual post offices located across Canada. Beginning in the early 1950s, the preparation of the cards was undertaken by the Public Affairs Unit using the files and letterbooks that were eventually turned over to the National Archives of Canada (RG 3, series B-2 and D-3). Postal history cards for all provinces have been entered into the database and originals have been withdrawn from consultation for preservation purposes. The original register to the reports for the years 1875-1902 has not survived.
The Post Offices database relates to open and closed post offices located in the ten provinces and territories.
The Search Screens
The database contains only one search screen. This search screen offers specific field search capability. A check box and a multiple choice list allow you to refine your search.
The search screen contains the following search fields:
Key Words
Post Office
Electoral District
Postmaster Name
A search by Key Words allows you to find any term. This is an integrated text search system. When the search is initiated, all fields within the database are searched.
You can use the other search fields to get more precise results.
The Number of references by page option allows you to change the number of references appearing on the results page for the duration of the search in progress. By default, the number is set to twenty.
Search Tips
Enter in the appropriate field whatever terms you feel best describe the post office or the postmaster. It can be the name of a post office or a postmaster, a place name, an electoral district, or a province.
As the database contains descriptions of old documents, do not use only modern or current words and terms when entering your search.
Be aware that Quebec place names could be anglicized:
Île-aux-Grues becomes Crane Island.
Pointe-Lévis becomes Point Levi.
St-Jean-sur-Richelieu becomes St. John's.
How to Interpret the Results
Your search results will be posted as a summary list from which you will be able to obtain more detailed descriptions.
Results Summary List
The results summary list, sorted by column, contains information that will allow you to rapidly assess how relevant the documents are that you found. Each page of the list describes 20 references, which is a default value that you can change. You can export the results to a diskette or to your own computer.
The description includes all or some of the sections described below.
The first column is linked to the detailed description (see below). Clicking on the icon will bring you to the detailed description.
The Province column provides the province name for the post office.
The Post Office name column provides the post office's name, as stated in the register.
The Electoral District column provides the post office's district name.
Detailed Description
From the summary list, you can consult one detailed description at a time.
The detailed description includes all or some of the sections described below.
Please note that the information in this database was transcribed from postal history record cards and appears exactly as it did in the original records. Despite errors the cards may contain, these transcriptions cannot be altered in order to preserve the integrity of the primary-source documents. The content of this archival database cannot be changed because it replaces records that have been withdrawn from consultation. However, transcription errors may have occurred when the record cards were being copied into the database. A correction can be made should this type of error be found.
How to Consult a Record or Order a Copy
The information you have obtained can be used to do further research in the records of the Post Office or elsewhere. For instance, you can follow the Inventory of Government Record Groups link to consult the inventory of the Post Office Records (RG 3). You can also consult the ARCHIVED - Records created by departments and agencies of the Federal Government database to find other files related to a post office or a postmaster. To limit your search, you can select the Post Office Records (RG 3) in the Record Group field of the general search screen.
Please note that many of the historical records of the Government of Canada in the custody of the National Archives are subject to the provisions of the Access to Information Act (http://lois.justice.gc.ca/en/a-1/text.html) and the Privacy Act (http://lois.justice.gc.ca/en/p-21/text.html). While the Acts provide a right of access to these federal records, they also contain provisions that restrict certain kinds of information. See: Conditions for Access to and Use of Documents. Consequently, before the records can be copied, they must be reviewed to ensure that no information in the records is subject to the aforementioned provisions of the Acts. See: Terms Governing the Reproduction and Use of Material from the Collection of Library and Archives Canada.

I ordered the blue king duvet. It wasnt the blue in the picture but more or a darker teal id say. but still really pretty and it worked for my bedroom. Really nice soft material. only complaint is the duvet doesnt hold my down inside very well so i have to fix my bed when i make it lol. Other then that really nice!
This duvet is so gorgeous, soft, and expensive looking! It's pretty lightweight so I didn't have to fight too much with my king size comforter to fill it. I got the grey color and I was expecting a light grey, but it's definitely a charcoal grey. I still love it and may be buying a second one for my guest room. It adds a lot of statement to a bedroom, even if you don't have a lot of decor.
First time ordering a duvet online and the color is just as pictured. Was not difficult is setting up.
I was pleasantly surprised at how soft the fabric is. Usually the lower priced duvets are rather stiff and loosely woven, but this is soft and feels like very good quality. I highly recommend!
Let me start by saying I have purchased 6 of these in various colors. The first two were for the master and guest rooms. I loved them and when my daughter came home from college she saw it and HAD TO HAVE ONE too. Next, I posted a picture on Instagram of my dog laying on my bed and that did it. My neice and my daughter's friends wanted one too. Then I got a spare for myself. Soooo this duvet is super soft out of the package, washes well, and holds up to a Saint Bernard laying on it when he thinks no one is looking. It is trendy, but for the price well worth it. If you have a teen or twenty something on your list this is a no brainer. I think people complained that it wasn't 100% cotton, well I for one don't want to iron my duvet so I don't mind. It is a sateen feel, after 6 months it has not picked and there are no holes.
I am extremely disappointed with this product and the fact that when I washed it and it faded I couldn't return it. I expect quality product from Overstock.com..
A WILD PATTERN ... that makes a nice cover to keep the bottom spreed clean
I'm pleasantly surprised. The set is much nice than I had anticipated, especially considering the price. We are ordering a back up so we can switch off when one set is being laundered. Good move on our part!

Few stocks can get the better of Jim Cramer. This one, however, appears to be the exception.
"Noodles & Company is infuriating me. Just infuriating," Cramer said on Tuesday's broadcast.
That is, the stock IPO'd around $18 and then nearly doubled when it first started trading on Monday. In the handful of days that it's been public shares have continued to march higher. Gains are now well over 100% in only days, and Cramer missed it. "This is a bad thing for a stock-picker like me. I like to take advantage of the free money wherever I can find it," he said.
In other words, Cramer hates not making money. And when he doesn't make money, he demands accountability.
"I am blaming it directly on the parlor game of international finance," he said with great frustration. That is, Cramer thinks there's a constituency on Wall Street that's playing a bit of a game; they've convinced themselves the 2013 rally can't endure and therefore they seek out negatives, then sell.
And there are big negatives to be found in China and Europe. "I am told by everyone I listen to, if China's banking system implodes all bets are off," Cramer said. "Others tell me that Europe could absolutely fall apart."
Cramer is absolutely kicking himself for listening.
He's come to realize that what matters much more is the health of the US recovery – and he thinks the recovery is relatively healthy. Therefore he thinks strong companies that do most of their business in the US should thrive.

And in the case of Noodles & Company, Cramer thinks the stellar price action reflects that theme. "Noodles & Company is a fast-casual restaurant chain that specializes in all things noodles," Cramer explained. The company has some 343 locations across 26 states and Washington DC, a small company that's going from regional to national."
However, 'noise' in the market distracted him from those impressive fundamentals.
"I knew that Noodles may be the hottest concept out there because I have a noodle bar next to me," he said. "I knew about the New York Times article which profiled the trend of 'Newfangled Noodles'. And I knew the gents who started the joint had worked at Chipotle. But I didn't focus on Noodles because there was "too much going on" and I was too worried about the ten year."
Cramer considers developments a personal wake-up call. "Going forward, the international focus will be tamped and the U.S. focus ramped," he said. "You don't find a winner like Noodles by looking at what's happening in China. Had I been U.S. stock centric, I would be making a heck of a lot more money."
