hehehe all these scenes. For me the memorable scenes for me are:
The rugby scene when he's training them
The dojo fighting scene
Him as a model taking the lady hostage
Inside the haunted hospital (all of it)
On the beach when he tries to 'calm' chidori after the watermelon
Lastly the part where sousuke thinks chidori stepped on a mine the most likely (wasn't expecting that at all)

A) the part in the haunted hospital episode where Chidori is determined to make Sagara scared and she points to the girl with blood on her face. The music and Sagara's reaction made that hilarious.
B) The ending where everyone is in a brawl after Sagara wins the raffle and Chidori is trying to get everyone to calm down until she's hit with like a book, and then she does like a roundhouse on this guy.

Knight, Bishop, or Rook
Season 2
The part in the last episode when Sagara was making an emotional speech and suddenly the audio is turned off and the entire class is makinga rush at Sagara with evil eyes and faces armed with teeth, Kaname was in the middleand the first to make contact. I love awkward silent moments. Another funny moment was the refference made to Gundam SEED in the hot springs episode, the panties decomposed in his mind. This entire second series is great and all parts were funny.

The similarity between GS and FMP!Fumoffu *spoilers*
During the hot springs ep, when the blonde guy(forgot his name!) passed the gun to the guy in specs, it was really touching.And when the sentry guns appeared,he activated his SEED which was actually an undergarment!!!His reactions and movements were also similar to the characters in GS that has SEED.
When he actually jumped up so high,I was shocked!But when he came crashing down, he landed face first in Sagara's thing!!!That was the scene that I'm sure made many people falling off their seats in disgust and laughter!!!

Are there any other Python references? I haven't been able to see all of Fumoffu (and actually I haven't seen all of the Flying Circus, just a best of and I own the first half of the scripts).
What if he's got a pointed sti~ck?

Team Rested and Ready for Season's Signature Event
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – After a weekend off, the Yale men's track and field team is tapered and in top form heading into this weekend's Ivy League Heptagonal Championships hosted by Cornell. The meet marks the beginning of the postseason for the Bulldogs, with the IC4A championships to follow. After a fourth-place finish in 2009, the Elis have fallen to eighth-place at the meet in each of the past two years. And yet, despite having one of the smallest rosters in the league, Yale boasts several of the top athletes in this year's contest, and will look to improve upon those results.
Senior captain Matthew Bieszard has a chance to reach the podium in several events. He enters the meet with the fifth-fastest time in the league in the 200-meter dash (22.05) and the second-fastest in the 400-meter dash (48.40) behind Princeton's Tom Hopkins, to whom he lost by a mere 0.19 seconds at the HYP meet. Bieszard's personal best in the 500-meter dash (1:03.69), which he recorded at this same meet last year, would stand as the top mark in this year's field.
Sophomore Dana Lindberg is also a threat to reach the final in multiple events. Lindberg is among the Ancient Eight's best in both the 200-meter dash (22.68) and long jump (6.94m), and brings an invaluable degree of versatility to the team. Sophomore Daniel Jones and freshman Daniel Kemp each came up with breakthrough performances in the short sprints at the HYP meet two weeks ago. Jones broke the seven-second barrier in the 60-meter dash (6.96), and Kemp scored a major PR in the 60-meter hurdles (8.58). Both will need to run as well or better if they have hopes of scoring on Sunday.
The middle distance and distance events have been a strength for the Elis all year, and at Heps they will face their strongest competition yet. Junior Timothy Hillas has emerged as a force in those races, holding the team's fastest times in both the mile run (4:08.43) and 3000-meter run (8:12.55). Sophomore Ryan Laemel (8:18.65) and junior Sam Kirtner (8:28.94) have also run IC4A-qualifying times in the latter event, while freshman John McGowan (4:11.16), sophomore Michael Pierce (4:15.29) and senior Julian Sheinbaum (4:12.51) have all clocked sub-4:16 mile times. Other middle distance runners with a chance to make an impact include freshman Michael Grace, senior Charlie Jaeger and junior Christopher Ramsey, who has qualified for IC4As in the 800-meter run (1:54.69).
Along with Lindberg in the long jump, Yale will be represented in the high jump by freshman Kyle Bajtos and in the pole vault by sophomore Paul Chandler, who has the potential to score. In the throwing events, junior Mike Levine (the reigning outdoor Ivy League champ in the discus) figures to be in the thick of things in the weight throw, and sophomore Stefan Palios will look for a big day in the shot put.
The two-day meet begins on Saturday at 11:00 a.m and runs until 4:15 p.m. Day one will feature prelims for all running events up to the mile run, along with most field events and the 3000-meter final. Those who qualify will compete again on Sunday in the finals of their events, along with the regularly scheduled finals in the 5000-meter run and the relay events.
The schedule of events may be found here. Full results will be available at www.yalebulldogs.com upon the completion of each day.

Mother Jones, a "fearless" left-wing magazine, last week broke a story about the covert recording of a meeting of U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell's campaign staff.
Yawn. What a scoop.
Was anyone shocked by any part of this story?
And if you were ... why?
I wasn't surprised that someone secretly taped Sen. McConnell's campaign strategy meeting. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
I wasn't surprised that Sen. McConnell and his staff were heard trash talking on the 12-minute tape.

The Lions, as their long-suffering fans well know, will not be playing in Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday, Feb. 2, in New Jersey.
But Detroit will still be well-represented — at least in the halftime show.
A couple of Detroit-bred musicians will be part of the spectacle that's become one of the most highly anticipated parts of the big game each year. Lathrup Village native and Roeper School alumnus Phredley Brown has been playing with Bruno Mars since 2010 and serves as the guitarist and musical director of his Hooligans band, while a Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School graduate mans the drum stool for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who are Mars' special guest for the show.
"It's almost too large to conceive, really," says Brown, 28, a trained multi-instrumentalist who co-wrote Mars' triple-platinum hit "Treasure." "I don't think I'll really understand the gravity of it until we're on stage and all the people are screaming and all the lights and all of that.
"We've been very fortunate to do some of the biggest stages and events in the world, it all comes so fast you don't have time to think about how big it is. You only have time to think about making sure you're prepared to do another performance — which is kind of a blessing."
The Chili Peppers, Brown adds, "was somebody Bruno wanted to reach out to. We're all big fans of theirs. They're all a bunch of really cool guys, and it's come together really nicely."
Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, meanwhile, says the invitation from Mars was unexpected but certainly welcome.
"The Super Bowl people asked (Mars) if he would like to have a special guest, and he said, 'Yeah, I'd like to have the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'm a big fan' — unbeknownst to us," says the drummer, who's been with the group since 1988. "He called us up and said, 'Would you like to come do a thing with us, have a jam?' We're like, 'Yeah, sure. Super Bowl? OK, sounds like fun,' and that's it.
"We've done some wacky gigs, but this one will be right up there. It's a big gig."
The Chili Peppers have also done some wacky things during their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career — many of which famously involve a lack of attire. But Smith promises the National Football League, still reeling from Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" a decade ago, needn't worry.
"I'm sure they're familiar with some of our antics," says Smith, 52, "so maybe they'll add a few more seconds on their delay or something. And it's a little cold to be out there, scantily clad. We're playing nice, and they don't leave anything to chance. Everything is all rehearsed — 'What are you gonna wear? What are you gonna do?' and all that kind of stuff."
The performers, of course, are prohibited from revealing too many details about the halftime show, which they rehearsed in Los Angeles and again at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., during the days leading up to the game. But it's clear that Mars plans to present some sort of medley during the 12-minute performance.
"You have to make sure you use the time wisely and get enough variation in your performance, so (a medley) seems to be the conventional way to go about it," says Brown. "You kind of squeeze as many songs in as you can without making it seem like an overkill or over-rushed thing."
Smith threw some reporters for a loop during Grammy Week in Los Angeles when he quipped that the Chili Peppers were going to play Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" for its feature — and it was reported as fact in several outlets. "Some journalists are very, very gullible," he says with laugh. The group will be playing one of its own songs, which, of course, is being kept secret for the moment. And Smith will be playing a custom-made, double-size drum kit decked out with the logos of every NFL team. The drums will be auctioned off after the Super Bowl through Feb. 7 to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
"I might fly some Lions colors, you never know," Smith says, adding that the Lions logo is "prominently displayed, more than once" on the kit.
"I was joking the other day that that's probably the closest the Lions will ever get to the Super Bowl."
Both of the Detroit expatriates have busy schedules after the Super Bowl. Smith, who also played on recent albums by Jake Bugg and Jennifer Nettles, is getting ready to start writing for the next Chili Peppers album.
Brown, meanwhile, will be busy on the road with Mars, who will be playing in Australia, New Zealand, southeast Asia and Japan before starting a North American tour in April that plays June 18 at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The Hooligans are scheduled to wrap up during September in Mexico, then turn their attention to Mars' next album.
"Maybe some day in the future, after we slow down, I'll have some time to really sit and just think about all the amazing things we've been able to do, like the Super Bowl," Brown says. "But now is just not that time."

Rex inheritted arguably the best Offensive line in football (mangold, woody, brick, faneca, and moore), a top 10 running back in Thomas Jones, Revis, Cotchery, Keller, Leon Washington, Jenkins, Rhodes, Pace and Thomas who were younger and productive.
Now compare that to the empty cupboard that Herm left Mangini.
Talk about revisionist history
So th talent Mangini inheritted was Coles, Cotchery, vilma, rhodes, barton and ty law.
Compare thatto the talent i listed that Rex inherrited from mangini ( i forgot to include david harris a mangini pick) .
Thanks for proving my point that Rex inheritted a talentedteam and Mangini got garbage
Mangina is a good db coach. That's about it.
As far as personnel moves why are we attributing everything to the coaches? You think Tom Coughlin calls all the shots for the Giants? Hells no it's the Generl Manager Jerry Reese. Ditto for the Jets.
And what is up with people acting like 2006-2008 was the golden age of Jets drafting? Vernon Gholston, Anthony Schlegel, Kellen Clemens, Eric and Brad Smith all say hello.
Our last 2 drafts were actually decent. Wilkerson should have made the pro bowl this season and Coples is the real deal and thank God we picked him over Melvin Ingram.

Mangini is a good talent evaluator.
As said above, he may not have known how to be a head coach when he was here.
He has the makings of a good coach, unfortunately, his situation in NY wasn't conducive to that.
I am not saying he should not have a job, Good luck to him in his career persuits, I don't care one way or the other. I just made the observation that any HC or organization has to be 100% sure nothing is ever done wrong if he is an employee, because he has shown he will turn on his old team. Like i said, it may be a hire by Payton to show the league the team has nothing to hide. The guy is a excellent Def back coach and IMO would be a excellent def co-od. Why don't you think he was ever hired for an assistant coach position in three off-seasons? The longer this guy stays out the harder it will be for him to get back in.

Mangini was a casualty of MetLife Stadium. He never got half the mulligans that Rex has.
He will try to rebuild his reputation in New Orleans. He seems like the type of guy that learns from his mistakes. I think his time at ESPN has helped him develop a personality and learn to work with people.
ANTHONY Schlegal. lol
I obviously hope this doesn't happen but a 3-13, 4-12 type season in 2013 would put Rex's w/l record pretty close to Mangini's. Not saying that Mangini was a great hc but Rex really isn't either. We just finished in last place behind the Dolphins and Bills (!) and could be in for a rough upcoming season. Rex has a lot to prove, I wouldn't even classify him as a good coach right now.
Leon Washington is a JAG kickoff return specialist (i.e. McKnight)
Brad Smith was useful, in a minor way, if you liked the Wildcat.
Revis was a great choice. As was Harris. Obvious choices too, but still.
Remind me tho, didn't he also draft Ghost, another BAP , inthe first? Seems like Mangini pretty mcuh went with consensus players in the first, and hit on many of them. But they were still consensus picks. Not exactly shocker picks who worked out.
So, outside obvious BAP #1 picks, how did Mangini "The Evaluator" do? Surelywe have a dozen+ starters from the rest of his drafts right? Kellen Clemens leading us to the Super Bowl in 2013, amirite?
Agree to disagree I guess.
Some day in the next 5-8 years, after a stint or two at DC, or even some higher executive title, Mangini will find a good place to land and he will do a good job.
Not looking to fight with anyone here, but the guy drafted some really good players for both the Jets and the Browns. No fights, please. Just my opinion.

Of course, as with any online auction, Blizzard will take a cut for any sales transacted. According to the official FAQ, a fixed transaction fee will be deducted for equipment, such as weapons and armor. The fee is currently $1. "Stackable" items, such as crafting materials, gems, and gold will have a 15% transaction fee deducted from the total sale price. In addition, transferring any money from your Blizzard account to PayPal will incur an additional 15% fee.
If you want to start selling in the real-money auction house, make sure you get your hands on a fancy authenticator.

The Spaniard has been given a more attacking left-wing role since the start of the season, grabbing a goal against Wigan and has revealed that Rodgers has told him to get forward more and chip in with his fair share.
"The manager has told Raheem [Sterling] and myself over the last few weeks that we have to help out in the box and score goals," Enrique told the club's official website.
"Every team needs to [get bodies in the penalty area]. If you put crosses in, you need people in the box. Otherwise no-one will be there to finish the chance. So I try to arrive as much as I can.
|Luis Suarez is 11/2 to score the first goal when Liverpool take on Spurs with William Hill
"You don't have to score an amazing goal all the time. So I think it's really important to try and be in those positions and get goals from there.
"If I continue to play in the left-wing position then I am definitely going to try and get more goals because in that position you have to.
"I like playing on the wing because I really like to go and attack, like everyone does. Most people prefer to attack than defend. That's just normal."

ANCHORAGE — For Janet Mitchell, odd is becoming a way of life.
Mitchell is the city administrator in Kivalina, a community that could be considered the epicenter for the anomalous in Alaska in 2011.
A mysterious orange goo in August settled on the Inupiat Eskimo village, located on a barrier island between the Chukchi Sea and Kivalina River to the north and the Wulik River to the south.
Then it was one of many western Alaska communities battered by one of the worst storms in decades nearly three months later.
"Oh man, it seems to be the norm now, odd occurrences," Mitchell said this week.
The mysterious orange substance just appeared one day sitting on the village's harbor. Then it began to wash ashore. The next day, it rained, and the substance was found sitting on top of rain buckets.
By the next day, it was gone.
Samples were collected, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration initially said the substance was millions of microscopic eggs filled with fatty droplets.
Then they said it wasn't.
Further tests with more advanced equipment showed the substance is consistent with spores from fungi that create "rust," a plant disease that accounts for the color, NOAA officials said 10 days later.
Mitchell and other residents said they were worried about longterm effects, but she said this week they haven't heard from anyone about the spores since August.
"Unless something new pops up, we're still baffled," she said, adding that townspeople are just chalking it up to climate change.
Kivalina only got the tail end of the massive winter storm in early November that caused damage in 35 Alaska communities.
The storm was one of the strongest to hit western Alaska in nearly 40 years, with winds of nearly 90 mph and storm surge that battered beaches and sea walls. The estimated cost for responding to and recovering from the storm is nearly $30 million, and President Barack Obama has declared a federal disaster for the area. Gov. Sean Parnell's office has put damage estimates at $30 million.
The storm also prevented a delivery of fuel and home heating oil for the Nome area. The harbor has since been iced in, preventing normal delivery. Officials are preparing for an early January delivery of supplies thanks to a Russian ice tanker and the Coast Guard's only functioning icebreaker in what authorities are calling the first-ever winter delivery by boat to western Alaska.
Petroleum development:
Obama in May called for additional petroleum development in Alaska. He pledged to streamline permitting and said he will direct the Interior Department to conduct annual lease sales in the vast National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The president in July signed an executive order creating an interagency working group to coordinate energy development.
The Army Corps of Engineers granted ConocoPhillips a permit to build the first bridge across the Colville River, giving the company access to leases within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, but one of the big Arctic stories of 2011 was what didn't happen.
Spending by Royal Dutch Shell for Arctic Ocean petroleum development crossed the $4 billion mark but no exploratory drilling took place and prospects remained uncertain for 2012.
Offshore Arctic drilling was held up by an appeal of Shell's air permit. The Obama administration said it would proceed with utmost caution in the wake of BP's Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, a region with far more resources to deal with cleanup than the Chukchi or Beaufort seas.
Shell in December received conditional approval of its exploration plan for Chukchi Sea drilling, but with a significant caveat — a requirement to halt drilling into hydrocarbon zones by Sept. 24 so the company would have sufficient time to clean up a wellhead blowout before winter ice moved in. A Shell spokesman said lopping off a third of the short drilling season could severely affect its ability to deliver a complete Chukchi program.
Alaska Corruption
The 2006 high profile investigation of corruption in Alaska politics came to an end last October when two former lawmakers pleaded guilty to bribery charges.
The charges against Pete Kott and Vic Kohring ended what U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffer called the largest and most successful corruption investigation ever in Alaska.
The charges stemmed from maneuverings surrounding a 2006 oil tax vote in the state Legislature. The government's star witness, former VECO Corp. president, Bill Allen, completed his own prison sentence, convicted of bribing the lawmakers.
Loeffler said there have been 10 convictions stemming from the federal investigation, including six former state lawmakers.
Other top stories:
In other top stories last year in Alaska:
— The Coast Guard seized the Bangun Perkasa about 2,600 miles off Alaska coast. The stateless ship was found to have 54 shark carcasses and more than 30 tons of squid on board. The crew members of the pirate fishing vessel were returned to their home countries.
— University of Alaska Anchorage runner Marko Cheseto had both legs amputated above the ankles after suffering severe frostbite when he disappeared for three days in early November.
— Three killer whales died after swimming up the Nushagak River. NOAA says it is the first time that killer whales were reported in fresh water in Alaska.
— John Baker, 48, of Kotzebue, won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. He became the first Alaska Native musher to win the world's longest sled dog race since Jerry Riley did it in 1976.
— Arne Fuglvog, the former fisheries aide to U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, will be sentenced in February after pleading guilty to falsely reporting where he caught sablefish, earning him an extra $100,000.
— Four out-of-state teenagers were injured in a grizzly mauling in the Talkeetna Mountains last July. It happened as they neared the end of a 30-day survival course when they suddenly came upon the bear near a river crossing. "I thought: 'I'm going to die,"' Sam Gottsegen of Denver said shortly after the mauling. "I thought, 'This just can't be happening to me."' Authorities believe the bear was aggressive because it was with its cub. Gottsegen said no one ever saw a cub.
— Three Fairbanks area men, all part of a militia, were accused of conspiring to buy illegal firearms to have on hand for overthrowing the government. Francis Schaefer Cox, Coleman Barney and Lonnie Vernon have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to possess illegal firearms and face trial in 2012. State charges of plotting to kill Alaska State Troopers and court officials were dropped after a judge determined that audio and video recordings were obtained without a search warrant.

Phyllis comes clean, Tucker and Harmony talk, and Ricky eavesdrops on Heather and Paul.
At the penthouse, Daniel asks Phyllis what Daisy means - that she tried to kill Paul and Christine. Daisy states her proof regarding the rental car. Phyllis protests.

She admits she saw Christine kissing Danny and snapped. She says she rented a car to follow Christine and Danny, but she came out with Paul. Paul left and tried to scare Christine by driving toward her, but Paul came back. Phyllis says she swerved, but there was nowhere to go. "It was an accident." Daniel says the report indicates the driver sped up. Phyllis says she hit the gas instead of the brake. She covered it up because no one would have believed her. Daniel and Phyllis agree they must get rid of Daisy.

She feels neither of them are overreacting.
Harmony spots Tucker at Gloworm. She tells him how sorry she is at how things have turned out for him - she can make amends, but can't put his marriage back. Harmony says she took advantage of him having a lousy day. Tucker laments that he tried to be a good husband, but he likes women - that's not Harmony's fault. He says he wanted to be with her, and still does. Tucker wants to 'get out of there'. Harmony says it could be satisfying - the same way a hit could be. She's flattered, but says it won't make either of their problems go away. Neil enters. Tucker says she's got it bad for him, and warns her to cut herself a break and be careful. He leaves, and Neil tells Harmony they can't keep avoiding each other. They make small talk. Neil tells her that he and Devon talked about her last night - he told him to cut her some slack. Harmony says, "Goodnight."
In her suite, Genevieve threatens to exact revenge on someone over the phone - presumably Colin. She goes downstairs, where an employee tells her she has an hour to cover her bill. Tucker appears and offers help. She says she's fine, but he sees she's going to pawn jewelry. He covers her expenses. She's upset. He reassures her.

Of course we're talking about our Battle of the Drunk QBs from the other day. In it, Matt Leinart squared off against Ben Roethlisberger. But as readers pointed out, voting on the biggest lush QB without including Kyle Orton and Eli Manning was about as valid as results from a Florida presidential election.
And unlike unimportant shit like choosing the President of the United States, we here at the M Zone actually want to make sure we get the vote results right. So that you, the people (aka procrastinators sucking up airspace on company time while you rot away the day on the Internet), have your voices heard.
Thus, we proudly present the new, improved...
M Zone Battle of the Drunk QBs!
Your first candidate, courtesy of Deadspin.com is Ben "Yo' Adrienne!" Roethlisberger.
Next, say hello to Matt "Ballroom Dancer" Leinart.
Our third entrant is Eli "Check this out, bro!" Manning (along with the chick from Blue Crush and Win a Date with Tad Hamilton)
Last but not least (ok, least), here's Kyle "You get to score chicks when you're drunk?" Orton.
So, who's it going to be? As before, the categories are the same:
1) Who's the most wasted?
Vote via the comment section or VOTE HERE. And remember, at the M Zone, every vote counts.

Submission + - US Gained A Decade of Flynn Effect IQ Points After Adding Iodine to Salt (businessinsider.com)
cold fjord writes: I wish it was always this easy. From Business Insider: "Iodized salt is so ubiquitous that we barely notice it. Few people know why it even exists. Iodine deficiency remains the world's leading cause of preventable mental retardation. According to a new study, its introduction in America in 1924 had an effect so profound that it raised the country's IQ. A new NBER working paper from James Feyrer, Dimitra Politi, and David N. Weil finds that the population in iodine-deficient areas saw IQs rise by a full standard deviation, which is 15 points, after iodized salt was introduced.... The mental impacts were unknown, the program was started to fight goiter, so these effects were an extremely fortunate unintended side effect." — The Nation Bureau of Economic Research paper (Restricted / Paywall )

Talk:Uncaused cause
Another potential argument:
One of the fundamental arguments is that existence had to have been created by a deity. However, this can only be dependent on a god whose existence is not bound by the concept of time; a god who has forever existed. By positing this, one is then also positing that existence has always existed. However, if existence has always existed, why is there a need for a creator god?
The 1st law is that energy cant be created/destroyed. Everything is made of energy. Therefore, it stands to reason that existence, itself, is also eternal. This could lend a valid reason to asking why it's necessary to posit a god when both believers and nonbeliever could essentially begin by saying, "Existence has always existed." However, Occam's razor would favor the nonbeliever's side, as it doesn't take the unnecessary step of adding an unneeded entity.
Bah. Enough rambling. I'm sure there's a better way to word what I've just said. Anyhow, take care.
- Whist the first law of thermodynamics does state that energy cannot technically be created or destroyed, many physicists including but not limited to Hawking, Kaku and Vic Stenger have pointed out in there books that if you add up all the matter and energy against all the anti matter and gravity, the sum total of mass in the universe actually comes to zero. You could technically argue that the universe is all smoke and mirrors with no smoke and no mirrors.
- This is theoretical conjecture involving mathematics way over my head of course, but the point is that the top physicists at the leading edge of the fields of cosmology and theoretical physics argue that there is no intrinsic conflict between the current theories of science and the possibility that the universe came from 'nothing'.
- I agree with you that either way its argued (infinitely or finite), Occams razor more or less precludes the necessity of a god, or a pink unicorn, or flying spaghetti monster or whatever. But as far as the actual 'uncaused cause' or 'first cause' argument is concerned, if we want to stick to the facts, all we can really say is that we can trace the history of existence back to a singularity at plank time, and before that we don't know what happened. May have been already existed. May have formed from a singularity in another universe or multiverse. May have simply sprung from nothing which as vic stenger likes to point out is a fairly unstable state. May have even been god (though the other hypotheses mentioned don't necessarily violate what we currently know about science) but to say definitively one way or the other as if its fact is basically making shit up.--Murphy 03:07, 4 December 2009 (CST)
Holy mother of god, what a clusterfuck.
When I have time, I am seriously going to consider cleaning up some of this. The Second Way is not about a first cause in time, but rather at the fundamental level of reality happening right now. Aquinas' first two arguments are about essentially ordered series, not accidental ones. I.e., causal series connected and happening as we speak with each member a necessity (like a series of gears or a train), as opposed to a series that does not require each member to be present and strung out through time (like parents and offspring).
I wonder why it never occurred to the authors of this article to, I don't know, actually consider what the argument says rather than what it doesn't say...??? Hammiesink 18:19, 29 March 2011 (CDT)

14 November 2011
A Fort Bragg-based soldier has been killed in Iraq, the Department of Defense announced Wednesday night.
Spc. David E. Hickman, 23, of Greensboro, was killed by a roadside bomb on Monday in Baghdad, the Pentagon said.
He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg.
Veronica Hickman, Spc. Hickman's mother, told the News & Record of Greensboro that her son was a good student and star athlete at Northeast Guilford High School in Greensboro, where he played football and ran track. He also did Taekwondo and rock climbing, Veronica Hickman said.
"David was always an adventurous person," she told the News & Record. "He was never afraid to try things. He always tried dangerous things. It would make me so mad."
Hickman enlisted in the Army in 2009, going to basic training around Thanksgiving of that year, Veronica Hickman told the newspaper. He deployed to Iraq around Memorial Day this year.
David Eugene Hickman, Spc. Hickman's father, told the newspaper that he tried to persuade his son to be in the Air Force, like him, in air traffic control.
"But he wanted to do the crazy stuff," the elder Hickman said. "He wanted to be in the air, shooting and stuff."
On Friday - Veterans Day - Veronica Hickman told her son and other veterans that she was proud of their service.
"I was telling him, 'Good job,' " she told the News & Record.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
For Release: March 14, 2005
PLEASE NOTE, these internship programs are no longer available.
New Jersey Department of Education Announces Two Internship Programs
The Department of Education announced two non-paid internship programs for the upcoming year that will benefit college and graduate students. The Volunteer Summer Internship Program and Research Fellows Program will offer opportunities for students to gain practical experience in educational policy areas.
The Volunteer Summer Internship Program was launched in 2003 and operated in six department offices. Last year, the program was expanded to include opportunities throughout the entire state department.
The Research Fellows Program is an internship initiative provided by the DOE that will provide opportunities to doctoral candidates to conduct qualitative research and evaluative studies.
"The department is very excited to offer our Volunteer Summer Internship Program again this year in a manner that includes all department offices and expands upon the number of opportunities for interested college students," said Commissioner of Education William L. Librera. "We are equally pleased to also offer new opportunities to doctoral students this year through our Research Fellows Program. By expanding and creating more practical career development options for students in higher education, we are providing the necessary tools for them to become successful in their respective chosen professions," added Librera.
The Volunteer Summer Internship Program seeks to provide practical experience for interested college students who may have an interest in careers in education and/or state government. The program will also give college students insight into how education policy is developed and allow the selected interns to supplement their academic backgrounds with experience in policy analysis and program administration. At a minimum, applicants must demonstrate excellence in academic achievement, leadership capability, extracurricular activities or involvement in community service. First preference will be given to residents enrolled in New Jersey colleges and universities.
The Research Fellows Program will provide interns with opportunities involving policy areas such as the federal No Child Left Behind Act, "Abbott" implementation, Early Childhood education, the impact of smaller learning communities on student achievement, and many others. The program will provide an academic focus on departmental policies and programs to provide a research based context for departmental policy decisions and identify correlations between implementation activities and the progress made. At a minimum, applicants must be enrolled in a recognized doctoral degree program. Like the Volunteer Summer Internship Program, first preference will also be given to residents enrolled in New Jersey colleges and universities.
Interested students are encouraged to inquire with the DOEs Chief of Staff Office for specific opportunities. For more information or to sign up for the program, please contact Lillian Terry at (609) 292-4442.
For more information regarding this release, please contact the Public Information Office at (609) 292-1126.

A central Auckland bridge is netting $150,000 in traffic fines from confused motorists every month.
Almost 1000 tickets have been issued each month this year to drivers snapped by enforcement cameras as they cross Grafton Bridge - which has been closed to all but buses for three years.
This year's total take is about $1.25 million.
Some civic leaders say a "dog's breakfast" of signs around the bridge creates confusion.
Auckland Council members Cameron Brewer, George Wood and Calum Penrose have called for a review of the signs after learning that as many as 997 tickets, worth $150 each, are being issued each month.
Mr Brewer said the council-controlled Auckland Transport had put up an array of small signs around the busy approaches to the bridge to show it was for buses only between 7am and 7pm on weekdays.
But the number of signs had added to the confusion.
"For many who may be heading into the area for the first time in a long time, it is as clear as mud.
"With no time to take it all in, many drivers find themselves on the bridge, nowhere to go, and staring at a $150 fine."
Mr Wood called the signs a "complete dog's breakfast" and said they explained why so many people were still being fined three years after the bridge became a bus corridor.
It emerged in June last year that the bridge linking the city centre and the Auckland City Hospital had netted $2.1 million in 21 months, which prompted Mr Brewer to accuse Auckland Transport of "money-hungry militancy".
The council eventually said it would warn drivers, rather than automatically fining them, and improve the signs.
The $1.25 million in fines taken this year come from cameras which didn't operate for much of January.
"Something's clearly not working and I suspect it's the lack of clear, concise signage," said Mr Penrose.
Auckland Transport chief operating officer Greg Edmonds said in a statement: "In response to assisting the public to better understand bus lane signage on Grafton Bridge, Auckland Transport conducted comprehensive research with its online panel [made up of members of the public] this year.
"Engineering work will commence shortly on the bridge for improved signage and we will update the public when it is ready for implementation."
AA motoring affairs manager Mike Noon said people were becoming confused, rather than wilfully disobeying bus lane signs, and the AA would support a review of the signs.
Mr Noon said the council must take care with bus lane signs, because people who were fined despite not intentionally breaking the law would question whether it was revenue gathering.
Mayor Len Brown welcomed the review. "I remain committed to policing of bus lanes based on education of motorists rather than revenue gathering."
Associate Professor Sam Charlton, of Waikato University's psychology department, said motorists read roads, not signs.
"It's too much and drivers won't pay attention ... I don't know whether confusion is the right word; it's having to think hard, evaluate and decide.
"Usually, we don't want drivers to work real hard to decide whether something is safe or not; we want it to be automatic."

Twilight is about Bella Swan, a teen who moves to a new town and is immediately adored by everyone. She instantly has several men vying for her attention and a couple of pretty nice friends as well. Her adoration of classic books would imply that she is at least marginally intelligent. Then she meets Edward Cullen (who has a unique background that is not relevant here), and as their relationship grows, so does her obsession, until it consumes her. Seems harmless, right?
Actually, no. Bella is depicted as an evil temptress trying to persuade a morally honorable man into evil, while he attempts to keep their virtues intact. Succinctly, Edward and Bella are a modern Adam and Eve.
But the book goes further in asserting that women are inferior to men. Every time Bella is faced with a conflict and has to make a choice, Edward swoops in to save her, because apparently she can't possibly decide on her own. He goes beyond protective to borderline abusive in Twilight, but Bella justifies it as "love" every time. When Edward dumps her for a couple months in New Moon, Bella becomes seriously depressed and dangerous to herself.
All the female characters in this series eventually portray similar helplessness. Even the first relationship introduced in the book – that of Bella's mother and stepfather – is sexist. Bella expresses concern about leaving her mother, but then reasons that it's okay now that Phil is looking after her.
What's even more ridiculous is that many female readers look up to Bella! Her situation is idealized. After finding Edward, Bella is happy only when she is with him. She feels that he is her one true purpose in life. So what are girls who read the novels left wanting? Their own Edward, of course! Not only do they want one – they need one. The fact that so many intelligent young men and women have been sucked into the Twilight series and have swallowed its sexist manifesto has me worried about the future of gender equality.
This piece has been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.

Toy guns buyback attracts abuse
A woman's campaign for a buyback of toy guns has attracted abusive comments and forced her to change a Facebook page.
Adelaide mother Sam Paior said she talked about last week's United States massacre with her sons and came up with the idea of giving them $5 to throw out each of their toy guns.
The idea quickly attracted global online and media coverage, but the Facebook page was overrun by abusive comments and she has now turned it into a closed group.
Ms Paior said she decided to give her sons 12-year-old Ben and 10-year-old Bailey $5 for each toy gun they threw out.
"I was talking about the [Connecticut] massacre with my kids and wondering what we could do about it," she said.
"Part of my thinking was that we've got these horrible replica assault rifles and disgusting weapon-looking things and I said 'Let's gather them all together and chuck them out'."
Ms Paior said one son jumped at the idea but the other baulked.
"I'm not interested in banning toy guns, I'm just interested in giving parents and families an option and another way to get rid of the guns in their house and to learn a bit about mental health and about gun safety," she said.
Ms Paior said she was happy for her children to keep playing with water pistols and nerf guns but did not want replicas of real guns in her home.
"They came home from the Royal Show with other people with a bunch of really nasty-looking replica weapons and I just thought we just don't need those in our lives," she said.
"This is more a symbolic gesture. This is just a way of showing our support to those families in the US and a way of starting the conversation with your kids."
Ms Paior said she was thinking of organising a fundraiser to collect money for support groups and raise awareness of the weapons issue.

Featured News
State of the University: President Spence
November 29, 2011 | Evangel University News
We have reached the halfway point of the fall semester of another great year at Evangel, and we praise the Lord for His blessings.
Evangel is doing well. We have experienced a better than 6% increase in enrollment this year, donations are up, and we are making progress on recovering our endowment fund investment losses from the economic slowdown of the past two years.
- Student Life — Evangel has experienced record enrollment for the third year in a row. This semester, 2,168 students are in our traditional undergraduate, professional studies and graduate programs.
- Spiritual Life — The integration of faith, learning and life is paramount at Evangel. Campus Pastor John Plake reports record participation in ministry and community service outreaches; and hundreds of students are preparing for 18 short-term ministry trips that will take them around the world next spring.
- Scholarships — Our focus has always been to assist our students and their families, especially so during rough economic times. In the past three years, we have increased our institutional financial aid to unprecedented levels. Academic scholarships, especially, have been increased. (The number of athletic scholarships was not increased.)
- Finances — Our financial position is strong. In the past year, we have reduced long-term debt by more than $1 million. Just 5.71% of Evangel's current fund budget is needed to cover debt service. (Most people would like to be in the position of needing such a small percentage of the family budget to meet the mortgage, car payments and other obligations.)
- Accreditation — We enjoy the highest level of confidence by our accrediting agencies. Our most recent review was with the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, and we received the strongest reaffirmation of accreditation possible from them.
We are thankful for the hard work of our faculty and staff, as well as the strong support of our alumni and friends.
For prospective students who are looking at the possibility of joining the Evangel University family, we pray that you will be open to the Lord's leading. Please call* if you have any questions. Our admissions counselors look forward to visiting with you.
Dr. Robert H. Spence

Officers found the couple had a dispute over who Amanda Radle was voting for in today's recall primary election for governor.Who was for which candidate? And did anyone get to vote? I'll just guess Amanda was for Falk, and Jeffrey was for Barrett. You might think Jeffrey was for Walker, but a vote for Falk will help Walker, as noted here.
As she was trying to leave the residence, Jeffrey Radle stood in front of her vehicle in the dead-end alley. That prevented her from leaving.
Amanda nudged Jeffrey with the vehicle numerous times. Jeffrey would retreat and then reestablish his ground. At one point, he climbed onto the hood.
Finally Amanda Radle attempted to drive around her husband. Jeffrey Radle reportedly jumped in front of the vehicle and was struck.
ADDED: I am totally getting into The Chippewa Herald. I took the survey "What do you do when a tornado siren sounds?" (my answer: "none of the above"), and now I'm reading "Couple losing faith in true government representation." And I'm fascinated by this bright-pink owner of a "Custom Weaponry" shop who's "struggling to keep up with demand."
UPDATE: Apparently, Jeffrey was for Walker, and Amanda was for "one of the women candidates" — presumably, Falk, as I originally guessed. Falk was the crossover preference of Walker supporters. Jeffrey was so wrong in so many ways.

East Hampton Town
Beach Business
The East Hampton Town Board has put on hold a number of requests from surf camps and others seeking permission to give classes or tours to paying customers on public beaches. Under current town law, a commercial mass gathering permit is needed to do so.
In consultation with the town trustees, the board has resolved to develop a policy governing such commercial use of public places, requests for which are increasing. Board members hope to make decisions in early July, and will not issue permits for activities stretching throughout the summer months until then.
Babinski Barn Permit
The town board voted on Tuesday to issue a construction permit for an already partially constructed barn on the Babinski farm in Wainscott, although members were split as to just how to make a positive determination.
A town code provision says the town board must sign off on permits for structures on land where the town has purchased development rights, such as the Babinski farm, although planning board approval has already been issued. The town board held a hearing on the proposal earlier this month.
However, Councilwoman Theresa Quigley argued at a board meeting on Tuesday that the board's best stance legally was to grant its approval of the permit based on a previous hearing in 2005, when the development rights were purchased. Though Councilwoman Sylvia Overby and Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc argued that it would be better to base a decision on the recent hearing, a majority of the board voted with Ms. Quigley. Mr. Van Scoyoc abstained from the vote. J.P.
New York State
Preservation Credit to Increase
The New York State Assembly has passed a bill to make a historic preservation tax credit more generous, raising the maximum award from $5 million to $12 million. The move is intended to make preserving high-cost properties on the East End and in other high-priced areas of the state more attractive to builders. According to State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., the bill is expected to become law.

WCSU to present Holiday Jazz and 'A Baby Boomer Christmas'
DANBURY, CONN. — Western Connecticut State University's Jazz Studies program will present its annual Holiday Jazz concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11, in Ives Concert Hall in White Hall on the university's Midtown campus, 181 White St. in Danbury. The concert will be free and donations to support the department of music will be accepted.
Performing will be Frankensax, directed by Andrew Beals; the WCSU Jazz Ensemble, directed by Dave Scott; and the Jazz Studio Orchestra, conducted by Jamie Begian.
Frankensax will open the show with Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" and arrangements of John Coltrane's "Central Park North" and "Giant Steps." The Jazz Ensemble will follow with an arrangement of "Oh Christmas Tree" and a jazz tune featuring various members of the band.
After a brief intermission, the WCSU Jazz Studio Orchestra will serve up "A Baby Boomer Christmas." Opening the set will be an arrangement of "Sleigh Ride" (as sung by Andy Williams) featuring vocalist Ashleigh D'Addio, followed by a cover of Jimmy Webb's immortal "Up, Up and Away" (as sung by the Fifth Dimension). Tenor saxophonist Dan O'Brien will be featured on Jim McNeely's "Absolution" and alto saxophonist Jason Fitch will be featured on Billy Strayhorn's "Isfahan." After the ensemble tune, Frank Foster's "Shiny Stockings," the set will close with D'Addio singing another Andy Williams arrangement: "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland."
Music Department Chair and Coordinator of Jazz Studies Jamie Begian explained the concept behind "A Baby Boomer Christmas." "I always loved those old variety shows from the '60s, particularly the holiday-themed ones that Andy Williams used to put on every year. As I became more astute musically I gradually realized the incredible production values and artistry that went into those shows and how that was becoming a lost art. 'A Baby Boomer Christmas' is my attempt to recreate those performances and keep them relevant to our students as an important part of the culture of jazz/popular music in America. The sound of the strings and choir with the regular Jazz Orchestra is pretty cool, too!"
For more information, call (203) 837-8350.

Our diverse university community provides students an enriching and supportive environment that takes advantage of the unique cultural offerings of Western Connecticut and New York.

Armed resource officers, better building and event security, and mental health screening and treatment were advised at a Wednesday joint legislative committee hearing on school safety. Lawmakers vowed action in the 2013 legislative session that begins Feb. 5 in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead in Connecticut last month.
MONTGOMERY | Armed resource officers, better building and event security, and mental health screening and treatment were advised at a Wednesday joint legislative committee hearing on school safety.
Lawmakers vowed action in the 2013 legislative session that begins Feb. 5 in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead in Connecticut last month.
"School safety is of paramount importance to us," state Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin, R-Indian Springs, said at a joint meeting of House and Senate Education Policy Committees. "We want to ensure this doesn't happen in this state.
She vowed that information will "not be put in a box."
Sen. Vivian Figures, D-Mobile, suggested prevention through identification of likely troubled students and mental health treatment.
A young man on Dec. 14 opened fire in the Newtown, Conn., school with his mother's semi-automatic, assault-type rifle. He killed her and 26 in the school before killing himself.
"I'm afraid there's no way to guarantee that some evil person won't commit a heinous act," said Sen. Dick Brewbaker, R-Pike Road. He said funding will be necessary.
Etowah County District Attorney Jimmie Harp, president of the Alabama District Attorney's Association, advocated mental health identification and treatment, armed law enforcement officers, expanding the capital murder statute to include schools and better control over what citizens should have weapons.
"School resource officers are important," he said. "Unless you have a trained mental health professional you're wasting your money. We need to have early intervention. A man in uniform with a gun is a heck of a deterrent but we need to treat these people. We're not trying to restrict weapons but we're trying to restrict who has them."
Tuscaloosa County Sheriff Ted Sexton advocated a total approach.
"What we're asking is give the tools to law enforcement and educators to deal with them," he said. "Control who can be in school … what can be done on school property. Support mental health courts."
Bice has mandated a review to ensure all 1,500 public schools have updated safety plans. Sen. Phil Williams, R-Rainbow City, said private schools should be included in the discussions.
The hearing occurred on the day the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center released a report on school violence in 2011. The report concluded that 2 percent of the 20,290 reported violent offenses occurred in schools and that hands and fists were the predominant weapon.
A gun was used in 1 percent of the violence and one homicide occurred in Madison City schools.
The pros and cons of arming adults in schools were offered by legislators who favored it and law enforcement and school officials who said that only trained police officers should be armed. They're called school resource officers and are currently present in many of Alabama's 1,500 public schools.
Bice said armed, non-law enforcement officers, "is not a good solution."
Reps. Kerry Rich, R-Albertville, and Lynn Greer, R-Rogersville, said if resource officers aren't feasible, local systems should have the option to arm qualified and trained adults.
An exchange between Rich and Escambia County Sheriff Grover Smith, a former police chief and president of the Alabama Sheriffs Association, highlighted the debate.
"The likelihood of a shooting increases with armed people," Smith said. "I'm not going to let my granddaughters go to that school."
Rich said he has a 6-year-old granddaughter. "I would rather my granddaughter be in a school where a trustworthy person had a weapon available," Rich said.
"Would they be full time?" asked Smith.
"No," Rich replied.
"Then they can't do their job," Smith said.
"I disagree," Rich said.
"I hope someone in schools my grandkids attend, some adult is carrying a pistol," Greer said. "It would make me feel better."
Marla Vaughn, an elementary school teacher in Valley and president of the Alabama Conference of Educators organization, said teachers don't want weapons.
"The best option is an armed, uniformed officer," she said. "Other safety measures are locking all the doors and keeping them locked, teachers carrying walkie-talkies and cell phones.
Henry Mabry, the executive secretary of the Alabama Education Association, the largest teacher member group, said the AEA was neither invited to nor was it notified of the committee meeting.
Spencer Collier, director of Homeland Security, proposed specific training for all law enforcement officers.
"Only 27 percent are certified in active shooter training," he said. "Our ultimate goal is 100 percent."
He said public education for an active shooting includes run, hide, and resist. "Escape if you can, hide if you can't and fight, don't be passive, be aggressive."
He said Virtual Alabama that gives law enforcement officials real-time floor plans of every school and diagrams of their safety measures should be expanded.
"It's critical for education across the state that we have things out there to help us," said Dwight Satterfield, safety and alternative programs supervisor for Decatur city schools. "What we are missing right now are funds to enact safety measures we would like in our schools."
