MANUFACTURER: Nikon
Review This Item
The NIKON RifleHunter 1000 Laser Rangefinder (8377) wonder features Nikon's new Active Brightness Control Viewfinder, a revolutionary technology allowing fast reads against virtually any background during the toughest lighting conditions.
In brighter conditions, the rangefinder will display the newly designed LCD, which provides suitable contrast and readability against a variety of backgrounds, together with enhanced light transmission.
In darker conditions, the rangefinder will automatically turn on the orange LED illumination to the liquid crystal characters for optimum visibility - even adjusting its brightness as needed for appropriate contrast against the background.
A 28% larger ocular and a 23% wider field of view from prior models, allows you to quickly find your target. The clean, uncluttered display shows you the range out to a very long 1000 yards.
The field proven ID technology calculates for any shot angle up to + or - 89 degrees. Nikon's Tru-Target mode option allows the user to choose between two settings: First Target Priority or Distant Target Priority modes.
First Target mode makes ranging lone animals in unobstructed situations a snap - the rangefinder measures the distance to the very first target hit by the laser - even small twigs. The Distant Target mode is designed for situations where ranging animals through brush or other impediments is necessary.
The RifleHunter 1000 also features Nikon's multicoated optics, waterproof/fogproof ruggedness and adjustable focus ocular. Long eye relief (18.3mm), an adjustable diopter and 6x, bright, multicoated optics, tag out this long feature list.
Like all Nikon rangefinders, the new RifleHunter 1000 operates on a single CR2 lithium battery.

We can carp all we want about Seth MacFarlane's arguably misogynstic, racist, and anti-Semitic language, but his Oscars ceremony was just business as usual. It was a reflection of the same forms of misogyny, racism, and lack of diversity that plague Hollywood and its films generally.

Neighborhoods: Old Town
Time for an upgrade – COSI one of my favorite restaurants but it's time for an upgrade. The one on King St in Alexandria in particular, needs serious furniture replacement or cleaning; seems that all the cloth furniture is dingy and spotted; often in the mornings (esp weekends) where a customer places their food order is across from where payment is made, traffic jams occur....it's really a headache. Although the COSI's on King St., is still my favorite, I chose to go the COSI's where less foot traffic exist.......just to eat in peace and quiet.

I think it's high time we saw the NHL create a new award. Let's tentatively call it the Nalder, awarded to the NHL's best rookie defenseman. In 66 years of giving the Calder to the league's top rookie, only ten defensemen have won the award, most recently to Buffalo's Tyler Myers. A defenseman basically only wins the trophy when there are no better options at forward or in goal. I mean, you'd either have to throw up like 50 points and end up top ten in defensemen scoring in the league or have very little competition from your forward and goaltending compatriots. In other words, to win the award as a defenseman you have to be special or downright fortunate.
The thing is that defensemen are rarely ready enough to step in and produce big numbers right away (or at least that used to be the case). Now we are seeing a steady influx of new exciting young talent on the blueline, such that year after year we see 40-point performances from rookie defensemen that don't even make you blink. This has to be awarded or even acknowledged somehow.
Not convinced? Yeah maybe not. I'm thinking the Nalder makes a terrible trophy name. Let's call it the Orr Trophy. Isn't it high time we gave this guy his own trophy? It's definitely time to recognize these rookie defensemen for their exploits and there's no one better to represent that than Orr.
Consider that Montreal's PK Subban and Washington's John Carlson are not finalists for the Calder despite the fact they've been their teams' best defenseman over the course of the full season. With the Orr Trophy we wouldn't have to worry about forgetting about them. We could have our cake and eat it too. What a beautiful concept! There's only one problem though; who wins it?
I have Carlson and Subban as the serious front runners for this trophy. Granted, St. Louis's Kevin Shattenkirk was the rookie defenseman scoring leader this season, but he got traded halfway through. Much like my vote for anything else, you can't win a "best of" trophy if you get traded during the season. If you were the best your team had, they wouldn't trade you, period. (This is the reason why I have major beef with Thornton's Hart Trophy win in 2005-06, but that's another story entirely.)
I know that poolies may not be totally concerned with who wins my made up trophy, at least not yet but I'm going to hand it out anyway. Hopefully this will help you glean some insight for your fantasy team and since this is a made up trophy anyway, I can gear this cage match towards fantasy value.
So here goes, Subban vs. Carlson for the Orr Trophy and likely a place on your fantasy squad.
Subban and Carlson are very interesting to compare because they both have a very similar track record going back to their final seasons of junior hockey in 2008-09 where they both were stars in the OHL. In fact, that year they both tallied 76 points.
Scoring has come easy for these two at every level. Following their final OHL seasons they made their pro debuts in the AHL where they both made the AHL All-Rookie Team, lighting up the stat sheet. Carlson scored 39 points in 44 games for Hershey, earning a late season call-up with the Capitals, while Subban scored 53 points in 77 games for Hamilton, earning a late call-up of his own to play with the Canadiens. Both would end up sticking with the big club for playoffs where Subban's Canadiens upset Carlson's Capitals in round one, striking an blow in this battle.
Both Subban and Carlson are international stars as well, having won World Junior gold for their respective countries and even making the All-Tournament teams. PK did so with Canada in '08 and again in '09 while Carlson, who is a year younger, did so in '10.
You really can't give either one an edge in draft pedigree either. Carlson was a late first round pick (27th) for the Caps back in '08 while Subban was a mid-second rounder (43rd) for the Habs in '07.
This season was no different. Subban outscored Carlson by a mere point so seemingly nothing separates the two. We'll have to look deeper at their standard 6x4 rotisserie value to see if we can't find a winner.
It becomes obvious in a big hurry that we have a clear winner. SOG clearly favours Subban, so do PIM and PPP. With regards to SOG this has a lot to do with style. Carlson has a good shot but he's much more of a puck mover. He doesn't have the big shot that Subban does and he doesn't need to use it as much with the snipers he plays with. So that gives Subban an edge that he'll likely always have. In general that will also lead to more goals where he had an edge this season but it's worth noting that he hasn't historically held an edge here, which is why I haven't indicated it as a clear win for Subban.
Subban has however always been a big winner in the PIM department at every level and I'd expect that to continue. It's not that Carlson is shy when it comes to physical contact but he's a lot smarter about it. I could see him eventually developing a Nik Lidstrom style of positioning where he's always in the right place and never has to play the body. He'd do himself a lot of favours if he did.
The PPP difference is largely a product of opportunity. Subban played almost a minute more on the powerplay each game than Carlson did. He also played on a much better powerplay as the Capitals were inexplicably mediocre on the powerplay this season. I'd expect this to even up a little bit over time but with Carlson having Mike Green in the way and developing into an excellent shutdown defenseman he could be held back a bit.
I prefer Subban for points only pools because I think he's more aggressive offensively and has a longer leash. He's seeing more powerplay minutes and by shooting and scoring more goals he has more room to manoeuvre upward and score more assists. Carlson will jump into the rush but not the way Subban does.
Carlson did have a major edge in plus/minus this season and I'd suspect he always has an edge in this category because he plays a more sound defensive game on a much better team. Subban won't always be a minus player but it could be a long time before he gets out of the red.
All in all it's clear that Subban has a rotisserie edge because he touches the peripheral categories a lot heavier. Carlson is still a very good option but he gets blown out of the water by Subban's powerful peripheral punch. Give PK the nod and you won't regret it!

Despite being the only one NOT on a playoff team, Shattenkirk had the second highest plus-minus of the bunch, behind only Carlson.
Shattenkirk forever!

Carlson....well hes boring haha. Thats not an insult to him but thats just his style.
P.K in real and fantasy hockey. His potential is as high as any d-man to come along in a looong while.
(enough about that random +/- stat, it isnt as telling as it looks)

Subban: 38 points, -8 (third worst on Montreal), benched for poor defense (not a fantasy category, but ice time matters!).
Carlson: 37 points, +21 (fourth best in D.C.), played all 82 games.
Personally, I'd prefer Shattenkirk to either -- more points in fewer games on terrible teams, while posting a better +/- than Subban.

NHL comparsion... or Fantasy comparison?
By NHL-value: Carlson... by a margin margin.
By Fantasy-value: PK... by a big margin.
The opening of this article suggests a rookie NHL award, which would lead to a discussion about real NHL value. The closing statement mentions Subban having a rotisserie edge.
There's some good stuff in here - but I feel like the bus left the route and delivered me to the wrong location at the end.

This morning, as reports of major financial institutions faltering were piling up, Americans were left looking for answers. The deepening crisis is best explained in last week's Financial Times, by the Republican who chaired the House Financial Services Committee as the crisis developed:
'Mike Oxley … blames the mess on ideologues within the White House …
'The critics have forgotten that the House passed a … reform bill in 2005 that could well have prevented the current crisis, says Mike Oxley, now vice-chairman of NASDAQ.
'"All the handwringing and bedwetting is going on without remembering how the House stepped up on this," he says. "What did we get from the White House? We got a one-finger salute."'[9/9/08]
This year, the Democratic-led Congress enacted the largest reform to the housing finance system in a generation--a key to helping our economy recover.
But America needs leadership going forward that understands the depth of the problem.
Senator John McCain's public statements don't offer much confidence:
- "I believe, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong…"
- Sen. John McCain [9/15/08]
Sen. McCain admitted in December that the economy isn't his strong suit:
- "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should... I've got Greenspan's book."
- Sen. John McCain [12/18/07]
Perhaps Sen. McCain should have watched former Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, on Sunday's ABC News This Week…
- "I can't believe we could have a once-in-a-century type of financial crisis without a significant impact on the real economy globally, and I think that indeed is what is in the process of occurring." - Alan Greenspan, Former Federal Reserve Chairman [9/14/08]
…Or read some of today's news reports:
Nouriel Roubini, chairman of the consulting firm RGE Monitor
"It's clear we're one step away from a financial meltdown." [9/15/08]
Lars Christensen, emerging market strategist at Danske Bank
"We thought some of the central European countries were going to get in trouble on their own with their large current-account deficits…If the biggest financial institutions in the world can't cover themselves in this situation it is much worse than we thought." [9/15/08]
Brian Bethune, chief U.S. financial economist for Global Insight
"The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers will put further deflationary pressure on financial markets and the economy at a time when such pressure can be ill-afforded." [9/15/08]
Joseph Brusuelas, chief U.S. economist at Merk Investments
"There is a concern about the basic stability of the market going forward." [9/15/08]
Henry Herrmann, president and CEO of Waddell & Reed Financial Inc.
"Fear is in charge…This blows another hole in the banking system's ability to extend credit." [9/15/08]
Peter Dixon, Commerzbank
'Problems today are not focused on individual firms but are systemic, and whilst it is probably not the time to say anything concrete on the long-term future, there is a sense today that the financial landscape has changed irrevocably." [9/15/08]
"The Federal Reserve added $70 billion in reserves to the banking system, the most since the September 2001 terrorist attacks, to keep bank borrowing costs low after the bankruptcy of Leman Brothers Holdings Inc…" [9/15/08]
Financial Times:
"US authorities were on Monday fighting a fresh fire in the crisis on Wall Street, throwing a $20bn lifeline to AIG, one of the world's largest insurers, just hours after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and Bank of America's $50bn rescue takeover of Merrill Lynch…" [9/15/08]
"Stocks tanked Monday, as investors reeled amid the fallout from the largest financial crisis in years after Lehman Brothers filed for the biggest bankruptcy in history and Bank of America said it would buy Merrill Lynch in a $50 billion deal…" [9/15/08]

When Wall Street and retail investors alike were furiously buying Apple in the spring 2012, one market pro was outspoken in his call for investors to avoid buying the stock. In an interview with CNBC's Gary Kaminsky, the individual who made the call, John Goltermann of Obermeyer Asset Mangement, said he's "still skeptical" of the stock.
"At $450 it looks a little bit better than it did at $650 or $700, but I would probably wait here. I think the pressure on Apple's share price is going to be to the downside, as more portfolio managers are questioning the investment case around Apple," he said.
"What worries me about it is how fickle tech consumers are about the design and capability of products and we don't know what they are going to prefer going forward," he said.
Instead of Apple, Goltermann sees opportunity elsewhere. "We like companies that are tied to improving living standards in emerging markets," he said.
Goltermann recommends Potash for its high-quality asset base, high-quality management, and its potential to generate cash flows for "another 300 or 400 years" as a necessary component of agricultural production.
He also recommends Joy Global, for its exposure to the mining industry, particularly in coal and metals such as gold and copper.
The Bearish April 2012 Call on Apple
In April 2012, when Apple traded in the $620 range, Goltermann sent a note to investors that warned of the company's unimpressive pipeline and came on CNBC to talk about it. (Watch the video here.)
"It's not clear to us how long it will be able to keep its edge in terms of technical innovation," he told CNBC in April. At the time, Goltermann was bucking the trend and did not own Apple shares. He called the company "too difficult to own," because the household penetration of Apple products make it difficult to get similar incremental growth of previous quarters.

ORU Faces Two of Top SLC Teams on the Road
TULSA, Okla.-This weekend could have major implications in the final Southland Conference standings, as the top three teams in the league face off for the second time. Oral Roberts split home games against the pair, beating Northwestern State before falling to Stephen F. Austin, but will have to get all-important road wins in order to stay atop the conference.
ORU is currently tied with SFA for first in the Southland, while Northwestern State is just one game back in third, but the three teams have seemingly separated themselves from the rest of the conference. The Golden Eagles will play Northwestern State on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Prather Coliseum in Natchitoches, La.
Thursday's game will be broadcast live in the Tulsa area on 97.1 FM "The Sports Animal." Free audio will also be provided at www.ORUGoldenEagles.com.
ORU and Northwestern State face off on Thursday with the two teams holding the longest winning streaks in the Southland Conference (ORU-6, NSU 4). ORU took the previous meeting 80-74 in Tulsa, the only win in four tries against the Demons.

When I go to speak to Charlotte Raven about her relaunch of feminist magazine Spare Rib – born 1972, died 1993 – I quickly realise she is talking about something much bigger. She is 43, and has been fulminating about feminism for a decade now, she says, a fact that shows in the fizz of her ideas, the way she jumps from one innovation or exhumation to another. There's her plan to revive consciousness-raising groups, for instance, despite some of her activist friends dismissing them as "bourgeois navel-gazing". She sees these gatherings – which burgeoned in the 70s as a place where women could discuss how specific feminist issues affected them – as a way of mending "that link between the personal and political that has just been completely broken".
She wants to hold immersive events, with a political edge, which explains why numerous performance artists are involved in the Spare Rib project. And there will be activism, although she isn't quite sure what the political demands will be. Raven and some friends were going to protest at the Epsom Derby next month, in memory of the militant suffragette Emily Wilding Davison, who, 100 years ago, stepped in front of the king's horse, Anmer, and died of her injuries. "But we couldn't think what we were going to be asking for. It was the same problem – how do you capture it in a sash? Actually, austerity is one of the really big things that we want to talk about. That's unsexy, [but] actually, what is the damn point of having a vote if you can't feed your bloody children?" She doesn't care about issues such as the dearth of women on FTSE boards, she says: "I care about bloody women who are affected by the fucking benefit cuts, but I don't really care about that other thing. I can't pretend I do." Her thoughts unspool wildly, entertainingly, through utopian feminism, radical feminism and collectivism. Raven clearly isn't just looking to relaunch a magazine. She wants to start a movement.
Not that her burning ambition is immediately obvious. When I arrive at her big, beautiful house in north London at the agreed time she is initially surprised to see me, but hugs a greeting and shows me through to the garden while she rushes off to prepare for the photographer. This is an interesting moment for Raven, a dramatic turn in a dramatic life. She had a tumultuous 1990s, working as an editorial assistant to Toby Young at the Modern Review; when she started a relationship with the magazine's co-founder, Julie Burchill, in a blaze of publicity, Young accused them of plotting to turn the publication into a "cross between the New Statesman and Spare Rib". He therefore closed it without telling them. Raven went on to edit a short-lived relaunch, and became a columnist for this newspaper, while Burchill achieved maximum shock value, as ever, by marrying Raven's brother Daniel. (The two women still see each other at family occasions, but I get the impression they're not close. Raven says she's sure "Julie will do the job of creating the unsisterly rants" when it comes to critiquing Spare Rib.) Back in the 90s, she says, she thought the party would just keep going.
Raven married the film-maker Tom Sheahan, and they have two children – a daughter, eight, and son, three. In 2006, after her father was diagnosed with the incurable neurodegenerative disorder Huntington's disease – which causes involuntary, uncontrollable movements, along with severe cognitive problems – she tested positive for it too. Its symptoms typically appear in mid-life, her age now. She wrote movingly in 2010 about how she had considered suicide as a result, eventually deciding against it after visiting a community of HD sufferers in Venezuela. "The case for carrying on can't be argued," she concluded. "Suicide is rhetoric. Life is life."
At the same time, she was wrestling with writing a confessional feminist memoir. She laboured over this for 10 years, the idea being that it would be a "consciousness-raising exercise," she says, "in that you'd expose the truth of what it's like from inside the prison of femininity. But the trouble is, trying to do that without making yourself just look like a cunt is actually almost impossible." She rewrote it 20 different ways, she laughs – she says repeatedly that this was a difficult time, but hoots through the telling – "and then Caitlin Moran's book [How To Be a Woman] came out, and I realised that was the end of the road … She got there first, and hers took six months to write, famously, and it has this great sort of jeu d'esprit, whereas mine was this intense combination of theory … and my continuing battle with my narcissism. Which Caitlin's is about, probably as a subtext. She's managing to conceal it with a load of good gags. And mine didn't have enough good gags. So, over a period of time, my daughter had to tell me when we went to the [local] bookshop to put my blinkers on so I didn't see the huge piles of How To Be a Woman."
She had been fantasising about starting a feminist magazine anyway and, six months ago, she went to the Women's Library and started looking through its collection. Raven has been politically engaged since childhood. While her father was making "a load of money" publishing magazines for the Duty Free industry, she and her "Marxist mother" were sitting at home, cursing him, she says. But back in the 80s and early 90s, Spare Rib never appealed to her. By this time, the magazine had been edited by a collective for years and, though it still ran groundbreaking material, – it covered issues the mainstream media wouldn't have touched at the time – it also had a reputation for being dour. Once, early on, for instance, it ran a helpful editorial for confused readers headed: "Why is it such a depressing magazine?"
But looking at the very first issues, edited by co-founders Rosie Boycott and Marsha Rowe, Raven felt inspired. She loved the "wonderful, countercultural" tone, and determined to relaunch it. She began forming an editorial board, comprising "middle-aged punks", a strongly feminist schoolgirl and Boycott herself, and started thinking how to fund it. Advertising was the obvious answer, but she felt this was inappropriate. The problem with mainstream feminist debate, she says, is the way it's been commodified. She points to the furore around Pussy Riot, last year, in which the Russian anti-Putin protesters were seized on as the latest hip manifestation of feminism; soon after, their image was for sale on T-shirts under the "Free Pussy Riot" slogan. Raven believes feminism has become "a marketing device – it always was. Cosmo always used feminism to market itself. But now it feels like that's universal. And so I think the only way of de-commodifying it is by not having bloody brands next door to it. You can't write about feminism within that context."
She decided to raise seed money by sending an email around to "a hundred rich friends, and get them to send it to all their rich friends". That email was leaked last month, with journalists focusing on one of its more hair-raising assertions – that Rod Liddle and George Galloway would appear as "costumed penitents", serving guests at a Spare Rib founders' event. Raven says the tone of the email was actually just intended to "make Simon-bloody-Kelner [former editor of the Independent] laugh and part with a hundred quid," and, on reflection, Liddle and Galloway would probably enjoy the experience a little too much, so that idea's been scrapped.
The email, though, was a success. She has received nearly 1,000 responses, and the £20,000 fundraising target has been hit. The idea is to run the magazine, which will launch later this year, as a membership organisation – what Raven calls "a politicised version of crowd-funding" – where those who sign up will be consulted about content. It will also be available on newsstands, priced £3.50. Alongside this there will be a website, expected to go live at the end of July, where content will be free, and people will be able to upload their own writing for possible inclusion in the magazine.
She rushes off to find some of the emails she has been sent, and starts reading me one. "'I want to tell you how immensely relieved and excited I am that you and others are relaunching Spare Rib. I am utterly desperate for an antidote to the suffocating proliferation of vacuous crud that spews from every vein of the media, and I know that many of my friends feel the same.' That's honestly absolutely representative of the people who have got in touch with us," she says.
Raven wants to leave behind what she sees as a 1990s form of feminism, where "you could just be as superficial as you liked, and you could call yourself a feminist, and still be obsessed with shoes. I think you've got to just draw a line under that and say it's better not to be obsessed with shoes, actually." Does she think Spare Rib can get feminism back on course? "Yeah! Absolutely! Without a doubt," she says. "It will take a while, but it feels like the right moment suddenly. I don't know why. But it feels like there's a wind behind us."

Comment 8 by Cartomancer
… do it as a matter of policy, through taxing the wealthy more … [my emphasis] 'Tax the rich!'? Rubbish! And more suited to a pathetic 70's Student Union meeting than one of Cartomancer's usually erudite and considered submissions.
Do you really think that would work? The rich, by definition, are not stupid. Tax them too much and they simply leave the country. The easy worldwide mobility of wealth and talent has never been greater than it is today.
Myth. They say they'll leave the country. They don't actually do it. Why would they need to? They have enough money even with a higher tax rate. The disadvantages of losing public services, citizenship, etc, outweigh the loss of money that they don't really have a practical requirement for, money that will be used for speculative schemes, fripperies and little else.
Oh, and "The rich, by definition, are not stupid"? Really? Why on earth not? Have you never heard of inheritance?
I hear there are many livers of life there too!
That's a flowery term for cirrhosis.
It's worth noting that it's not only politics (ideology) and religion that do that, but also business tradition and its mathematical poets, the economists.
Just to be clear, I agree with Cartomancer's point, though I think I have more enthusiasm for the news. This is a good action by a (presumably) good person, but like buying "The Big Issue" it shouldn't be necessary in the first place.

Go to: Cleric says polio vaccination 'un-islamic', warns of jihad against docs
You don't have to be Muslim to believe this sort of stuff. There was the MMR fuss, and at the moment (mement?) the fundies are pushing conspiracy theories about contraception, abortion and HPV vaccination, the latter with help from the unaffiliated anti-vaccine crowd.
It's very tempting to go with intuition. Instinctively, parents do not want their child to be "harmed", i.e. have a needle stuck in them. They don't want them to be upset or have to deal with the pain of it. They then rationalise that by allowing themselves to be convinced by the anti-vaccine stories. If their child is sick, and that happens around the time of the vaccination, they blame the vaccine. If they hear the stories of such people, they become concerned (and the story tellers are self-selecting: those who don't have problems don't have such passion) and again their instinct is to be protective. And, to be fair, large pharmaceutical and synthetic chemical companies have been pretty badly behaved, both as of late and in the past (valium, oxycodone, thalidomide, DDT, agent orange, etc). The Nixon medical system in the US is an appalling farce of perverse incentives and exploitation. It's not surprising if they don't trust the medical establishment, sadly.

Sorry, but the last thing we need is a "charismatic speaker". It's what someone says, not who said it.

Also we're talking about how someone speaks, not who they are. Would you complain about a desire for advocates to be articulate? Highly literate? Neither of these are necessary for someone to be intelligent or to understand the arguments.

There was another guy who taught us a few words of ancient Greek and their significance, which was kind of interesting-- though I've forgotten the details it probably helped spur me to learn the Greek alphabet-- and some philosophical and logical ideas, but he was only there a couple of times.

Go to: Major Threat to Religion? Clergy People Coming Out as Atheists
The Clergy Project is also a selective force, of course. So it will have a radicalising effect, because moderates will be eliminated. The question then is whether religion will destroy itself or society and democracy first.
On the other hand, if it becomes big enough and happens quickly and permanently enough, it could deal a crippling blow. Such blows have not stopped religion yet, note.

Go to: Louisiana lunacy: tens of millions to be spent on faith-based education
Comment 12 by Neodarwinian
It's an insider-targeted reference to Matthew 5:13-16. Saltiness means pleasing to God: full of faith (an impulse to claim to know things one does not know) and the holy spirit (positive reinforcement through ecstatic trance), i.e. unquestioningly obedient to the church hierarchy. That is, orthodox. Light means spreading the message (memeplex) to other people: waking up the sheeple, that kind of thing. It's commonly cited as an instruction to evangelize whilst remaining a true (i.e. pure) believer.
Comment 22 by 78rpm
That shouldn't make it any less of a source of shame. The ruling class has the power, and thus the responsibility-- jointly with those who tolerate or worse support them-- for what happens to the least in their charge.

The Moonies are a big deal in S. Korea. They had enough money to buy the Washington Times, for instance, and still own it. They have a crazy amount of influence in Washington DC, so presumably considerable clout back home. I'd imagine they're not the only such group in the country, either. I strongly suspect this change is not a result of an external imposition; not a recent one, anyway.

If he annoys leftists, it's because of how he mischaracterises their views. Some people do feel Hamas should be supported, I'm sure. Others have sympathy for the situation of their members without thinking they're some kind of force for good (or an absolute force for evil: in the same category as fundies, say). Harris lumps this range of opinion together. For me, that, more than anything else he says, is objectionable.
Perhaps I'm jumping the gun, though. I'm going on impressions, memory and the introductory text, which is not by Harris himself.

Go to: 2,000 protesters support gay rights
It's also about the social control enforced through a would-be monopoly on who has permission to have sex. It must be approved by the patriarchy: the father must "hand over the keys" to his daughter, who should in turn be undamaged goods. Women are owned or conditionally protected. Other deals may have been made on the side. Gays are not subject to paternal approval, since marriage is not a possibility. This is one of the ironies of opposition to gay marriage-- then again, it probably does undermine the notion that paternal approval is the basis of marriage since I'd think pretty much all gay couples do not accept that notion. I think that's where the "gays and their marriages undermine straight marriage" stuff comes from. They are seen to disrupt the deal-making that would go on between families (subject to male veto, of course).

Comment 5 by Chomolungma
Comment 17 by scottishgeologist I've mentioned this before but I'll ask again,. Are the only opponents of evolution the faith heads?
Well, depends what you mean by faith-heads, and by challenging evolution. There are people who challenge the idea all humans originated in Africa, for instance. There are other people who think that humans are not the only species on earth; that there are reptilians (shape-shifters?)... and others I guess. Another belief: that there are sub-species of human. Not races exactly, but more subtly distinguished, and yet to be described fully by science. Some of these people are atheists, if rather quiet and very accommodationist about it, though they have other unusual beliefs. I think they're few in number, but like people who believe in UFOs and fundies, like economists and literary theorists, they have an influence beyond the circle of true believers.

Go to: Moral Clarity and Richard Dawkins
Comment 50 by brighterstill "Morality is a social construct: WE MADE IT UP. It makes us feel good to live by it and it is conducive to our continued, feel-good existence. There is nothing wrong or illegitimate about this. Just because we invented it, bit by painful, bloody bit, over millenia of living together, with the result being what we see around us today, does not mean it isn't worth following."
Not entirely true, as pointed out in comment 54 by Zeuglodon.
"Distinct moral codes can almost be considered like species: they compete for resources (adherents) and try to reproduce (indoctrinate, educate). They share genes (ideas) and sometimes try to destroy each other. Some are better suited to different environments and they are often regionally distributed"
I don't think they're distinct. They may have components that cause them to distinguish themselves, often attached to signifiers of identity that have little worth beyond that (eating with a particular hand, seeing Christ as God and God's son simultaneously or God's son alone, etc), but there is a lot of commonality amongst different religions.
The analogy with species is useful, but breaks down in several ways. A species cannot radically alter itself in response to its environment. Religions do this all the time. They keep their signifiers the same, but their emphasized beliefs and actual idea/talking point set can change from week to week. Species cannot exchange genetic material by definition. Ideas from different religions (and other sources) are modified and co-opted.

From David Mitchell's article (linked above)
"First of all, the whole idea, practically speaking, is pointless. Many, if not most, of the schools to which Gove is arbitrarily sending a King James Bible will already have at least one. For those that do not, the acquisition of one copy of a book is useless for teaching purposes. And the entire King James Bible is available online anyway."
Well, quite. And more to the point:
"Michael Gove is a more senior member of the government. He doesn't just make speeches, he also comes up with "eye-catching initiatives". Whether it's sending out Bibles, buying a yacht for the Queen or letting people set up their own schools, he's got an impresario's gift for keeping us interested. He holds our attention with the £370,000 he's spending on gilded scriptures. It distracts from what's happening with unloved billions elsewhere"

Japanese Style peanuts are peanuts dipped in a delicious crunchy soybean paste. Japanese peanuts are what many tourists discover and really enjoy during their visit to Mexico. Many believe that this delicious snack was imported from Japan, when they are actually made in Mexico. Since soy is from Japanese origin, they were called Japanese or Japanese-Style peanuts.
Japanese peanuts are of Mexican origin, and were created in 1945 by a Japanese man named Yoshigei Nakatani. It wasn't until 1980 that the Nipon Company dominated the market. But today Sabritas and Barcel monopolize consumers.
Yoshinegei created the Japanese peanut in the middle of the last century in a workshop of the La Merced market in Mexico City; that's were his customers were. There he would go with his hand truck to sell what he had produced in the morning; his goal was to make ends meet.
Between the years of 1950 and 1975, the customers for Nipon were wholesalers of La Merced and la Central de Abastos, which allowed the business to go from a workshop to a trademark company in 1975 and a brand for peanuts in 1977, but the product and the elaboration process where never patented.
The Japanese peanut market burst in 1980 and other brands such as Sabritas and Barcel followed after. Other Japanese style peanuts include Japon, De La Rosa, Pepe Juan, and Manzela among others.
Japon Japanese Peanuts are addictive and their crispy shell doubles the nut crunch. Once you try them; you won't be able to put them down. Japon Peanuts are 100% Natural, have no cholesterol, no trans-fat! Japon peanuts make a great and irresistible snack! They go extremely well with a cold beer! They also come with Limon 7, a salt and lemon powder that gives them a delicious kick you won't be able to resist.

Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - The outline of a compromise over impending tax hikes and spending cuts began to come into focus Friday after President Barack Obama convened top congressional leaders at the White House.
Differences remain, especially as Republicans, led in the House by Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, continue to fight to keep tax rates for the wealthiest Americans from rising.
But the contours of a two-stage deal are taking shape as leaders work to avert a year-end fiscal crisis and break the gridlock that has soured voters on Washington. The mood alone, with Obama congratulating Boehner on his birthday Saturday and Republican and Democratic leaders taking turns speaking to signify their unity, signaled a sharp change from past confrontations.
"We have the cornerstones of being able to work something out," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, as leaders from both parties emerged from the White House. "This is not something we're going to wait until the last day of December to get done. We have a plan. We're going to move forward on it."
Boehner, who presented his framework for a broad tax-and-spending overhaul to be undertaken in 2013, also sounded an optimistic note.
"To show our seriousness, we've put revenue on the table, as long as it's accompanied by significant spending cuts," Boehner said. "It's going to be incumbent on my colleagues to show the American people we're serious."
The first part of such a deal would be legislation this year that would commit Congress to specific revenue increases, favored by Democrats, and spending cuts, as advocated by Republicans. How those increases and cuts would be achieved would be worked out in the second stage next year by the new Congress.
Not addressed was how to resolve the standoff over this year's expiring tax rates. Resolving the tax breaks for wealthy Americans remains, in many ways, the linchpin to a deal.
Obama and Boehner appeared more comfortable together than a year ago, when they tried -- and failed -- to reach a $4 trillion deficit-reduction deal that many economists have warned is vital for the nation's long-term fiscal health.
The two leading actors exchanged a light moment as the president wished the speaker, who turns 63 on Saturday, a happy birthday and gave the known Merlot fan an expensive bottle of Italian red wine.
"My hope is this is going to be the beginning of a fruitful process that we're able to come to agreement on that will reduce our deficit in a balanced way, that we will deal with some of these long-term impediments to growth, and we're also going to be focusing on making sure that middle-class families are able to get ahead," Obama said as he opened the meeting in the Roosevelt Room. "We're going to get to work."
Friday's closed-door gathering was the first such sit-down since the election, which emboldened Obama and his allies on Capitol Hill. Americans spoke at the polls, they maintain, preferring the Democratic approach, which asks the wealthiest taxpayers to contribute more revenue while preventing steep spending to domestic cuts.
To rank-and-file Republicans, though, the election results signaled that voters want the Republican House majority to hold a final "line of defense," as Boehner puts it, against what they see as government overreach.
Efforts to raise new tax revenue while cutting spending has eluded the parties in the past, but this year's built-in deadline could give them a boost.
Unless Congress acts, taxes will rise on most Americans, a $2,000 average hit as current rates expire on Dec. 31. Massive federal spending cuts scheduled to begin Jan. 2 would cut across defense and domestic accounts, pulling funds out of the economy. Together, they have been referred to as a "fiscal cliff."
A shift can be heard in the rhetoric, as Republicans now say they are willing to consider increases in tax revenue, and Obama has softened his insistence that top income tax rates, now at 35 percent, must rise to 39.6 percent, the rate from the Clinton era.
"We all understand where we are," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader. "We're prepared to put revenue on the table provided we fix the real problem, even though most of my members, I think without exception, believe that we're in the dilemma we're in not because we tax too little but because we spend too much."
During the hourlong session Friday, Boehner presented his proposal to have the parties agree to "targets" for new tax revenues and spending cuts, which would be bound by statute and enacted in 2013.
Tax revenue could be raised by closing tax loopholes or capping deductions for the wealthiest Americans -- couples earning incomes above $250,000, or $200,000 for singles. Such a broad deal would also require Democrats to agree to rein in spending on Medicare, Medicaid and other entitlement programs as Obama has previously proposed.

Historiography of the Middle East
New lecture series organized by Professor James Gelvin, UCLA
Published: Monday, August 13, 2007
Over the past two decades, there has been a veritable revolution in the historiography of the modern Middle East. In part, this revolution has been generated by events in the region-the Iranian Revolution, the never-ending Israel-Palestine conflict, the growth and spread of Islamist currents-which challenged long held assumptions of historians and other social scientists. In part, it has been generated by the post-Orientalist/post-colonial critique of previous frameworks of analysis, as well as by emergent sub-disciplines and borrowed methodologies, including the ¡°new cultural history,¡± labor history, and gender and nationalist studies.
Beginning this Fall, the Center for Near Eastern Studies will sponsor a series of lectures delivered by leading historians who will take stock of recent historiographic trends. Zachary Lockman, Professor of History at New York University, president of the Middle East Studies Association, and author of Contending Visions of the Middle East: The History and Politics of Orientalism will kick off the series.
Future lecture topics include:
What Ever Became of Middle East Social History?
Beyond Good and Evil: Imperialism and the Middle East
Rescuing Middle East History from the Nation-State

John Mann A different kind of MP
Worksop court is under threat of closure after 800 years of local justice.
The court is perfectly adequate for hearing cases and I am campaigning to save our local justice system.
Please read the text below and fill out the petition to show your support.
Many thanks,
To The Secretary of State for Justice and HM Courts & Tribunal Service Notts,
Local justice has been heard in Bassetlaw for over 800 years and I object to the proposals to move the criminal and other hearings from Worksop to Mansfield or Nottingham.
There has been a great deal of debate surrounding potential fracking in Bassetlaw recently, and I thought that it would be useful to publicly share my views.
My stance on fracking in Bassetlaw is as follows:
1. Each application needs to be dealt with on its merits.
2. Some locations will be unsuitable and should be stopped.
3. No drilling should be taking place within 2km of any village
4. Each company involved needs to be assessed for whether it has a good track record in building wells safely and in safe waste water disposal
5. The local community needs to be fully consulted and needs to be certain of the safety of its water supplies and that there are no significant adverse impacts on its well being, including all seismic and environmental surveys need to be made available to the local community
6. The local transport infrastructure needs to be suitable
7. There must be no possibility of ground water contamination
8. There must be no licences for new boreholes or water extraction from rivers, so no use of local water reserves
9. Any pay back into local authorities must be used exclusively to retrofit local schools, churches, health facilities and residents with green energy
10. I have established a monitoring committee to assess any application independently of the regulators and planning authority
On this basis I did not oppose the anaerobic digester at Walters Farm in Lound, nor the tapping of natural gas at Beckingham.
My view of the Dart Energy site at Lound is that it fails to meet most of the criteria listed above.
In particular the site is a former munitions factory and the risk of ground water contamination is high. This would be devastating well beyond the local area.
Following their track record in Australia I do not consider that Dart Energy is sufficiently good to merit the trust of the local community and their dealing over this particular application has re-enforced that doubt.
I trust that my views are clear.

This had great flavor. Often recipes on here are lacking oomph. Not this one. Even the 6 yr old liked it. One can easily add more chili garlic if they want more spice. I followed recipe as is and it was perfect. Hubby said this needs to be made monthly.
I absolutely loved this! It was so easy and delicious! I will be adding it to my menu!
My 2year old son loved it but my husband and I did not. Too sweet and not enough veggies. I would perhaps try it again with some carrots or bean sprouts thrown and some sriracha.
Pretty good. I left out the peanuts and I too could not find fish sauce so I used the additional soy sauce. It was good but don't know if I would make again. My husband really enjoyed it.
Wonderful recipe. This is a family favorite!

Great martinis and even better late happy hour, 10:30pm-12am.
This charming bar and restaurant prides itself on it's martinis. It may be somewhat hidden but there have been a lot of films and TV shows shot here.
I love this place and the location. The food is really good as are the drinks. They really put allot of time and effort into planning a fun sunday brunch and happy hour. All great values. I like bring friends here from out of town because it's so relaxing and fun.
Awesome Martinis!!! – The martinis were the best!!! Didn't even taste the alcohol it was so smooth. I wasnt too impressed with the quality of service as the waitress didnt attend to the table as much as I felt was needed. The appetizers were pretty good, we had the calamari and some salad. I want to go back and try some other things but the Carmel apple martini and the star f*cker were amazing!!! Wil def go back, I also want to try their endless Mimosas on Sundays!
Fun place – I liked Lola's, I thought it was charming and comfortable. The Martinis are are brilliant!! Every time I make it to Lola's I either bump into a friend or meet a new one. I like the casual / dressy atmosphere.. the last time I was there I was wearing a suit following a meeting.. I felt as comfortable as if I was dressed in Jeans. Oh, and the food... I thought the portions were perfect and the preparation was exceptional. After a long day, it's nice to meet a friendly bartender or a great server.. you can find both at Lola's.
This place is Awesome!!! – Great food, great people, great atmosphere! I have been going there for just over a year and have always had a good meal. I am not much of a drinker, but everyone that I have gone there with in the past have all raved about the drinks.
I have read some of these other comments and am very surprised. The food is great!
Go here... check it out for yourself. I am not sure about their drink special nights... but they have a website I think with that info.
Also a great place to get deserts!
Hugely disappointing – This place was hugely disappointing. I've never been to a restaurant where drinks went untouched, without the bartender asking if there was anything wrong. It was so bad that I left after only spending $40 of a $50 gift ceritificate. A horrible experience.
You Will Love Lolas! – Lola's has delicious food and the drinks are yummy, plentiful and inexpensive. I've never heard anyone say they didn't have an awesome time at Lola's. Highly Recommended for private parties and happy hour $5 martinis and appetizers, yummy!
Lolas=So So – So a good friend recommended this place to me. She had been there a few times and said the Martinis and desserts were to die for!
So i went the other day with a few girlfriends. First impression, the guy at the door was Beautiful. Second impression, the hostess inside was rude. She was so annoying, ugh. I did not feel welcome.
Well, that was that. The waiter was Awesome. He was great and it didnt hurt that he too was a Hottie. He made us feel welcomed.
The martinis were DELICIOUS. The food, so so.. not too flavorful. Oh but the Mac n cheese was to die for!! Absolutely delicious!
Overall the food was okay, the atmosphere was okay. But a little too pricy for me. I dont think I'll be going back. I tried it, sorta enjoyed my experience, dont feel the need to return.
Amazing food & martini cocktails – My sister and I had dinner at Lola's in the dining room the other evening. Our drinks were so good, and we started with their signature mac and cheese. YUM our entree's were also amazing and so well prepared. We really enjoyed the vibe and felt like we could stay and sip drinks all night and talk. The staff took such great care of us and everything was above and beyond. Great experience and great food! I loved the loster linguini!
Worst Place Ever; Truly Disgusting – My friends and I were completely disappointed with our evening at Lola's. First, the staff was very rude. I didn't mind that so much, but the drinks were really bad not to mention grossly over-priced. As we waited to be seated, we looked at the menu. Although it looked impressive, we soon found out the actually food they serve was atrocious. We were a party of eight and everyone unanimously were disgusted by their respective entrees. We spoke with the manager who was not at all sympathetic. In fact, she didn't even apologize or seem to care. We decided that was the last straw. Everyone in our party paid their share of the bill for uneaten food and vowed to never return. Lola's is a horrible place.
DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! – I was really excited about spending my birthday at Lola's. I checked out the website and the place seemed nice and had a great martini list, which is my drink of choice. I called and spoke with Abby who stated she would try to get me a reservation for my large party and I for Saturday, but couldn't make any guarantees because they had other large parties that night. I told her I understood, but let me know what she can do. I got a call from a Silvie that night who stated she couldn't fit us in until 10pm, but to show up at 5:30pm and they would be able to fit us in. I spoke to Abby the following day who confirmed the same, first come first serve policy.
I showed up at the time I was told to be there with some of the people from my party and was told at my car, never making it to the door, that unless I had reservations, I was not going to be seated. I told the rude so called manager of what I was told by Abby and Silvie and he proceeded to tell me that they were just trying to brush me off. That's what you want to tell a potential customer? I asked for the GM and was brought someone that couldn't have been older than 10 whom never formally introduced himself and said nothing but "I apologize you were misinformed." Not once did either of them state if they can make it up to us or come in for a moment and we'll offer you an appetizer or something. Mind you, there was no one in the restaurant but servers at the time of our arrival. He also told me that to let him know where we were going and he would let our party know as they arrive where we went. Yes, thanks for the favor, I appreciate it. As I tried to text all of my seventeen guest not to show up, he asked us to move our car from the front of the restaurant and park down the street. When I didn't move my car right away, he threatened to call the cops. Are you serious?
My husband works as a manager for a fine dining restaurant and they treat their customers like family. I have never experienced such poor service. They never even let us out of the car. I would never recommend this place I could care less how good their martinis are. If you want great martinis and fabulous service, go to Morton's Steakhouse, which is not far from this hole in the wall. Stay far away from Low-life Lolas.

New Hartford: Presentation on Civil War was riveting event
My wife and I recently had the honor of attending a classroom presentation of the Civil War by Andrea Gordon's sixth-grade class at Ann Antolini School in New Hartford. I was on the edge of my seat the whole presentation.
There were three showings, for parents and the other school children. These sixth-grade students knew their history and presented it through artwork, choral songs, band arrangements and gymnastics, all wrapped up in a play. Every aspect of this was memorized.
