Don't worry, I'm still putting together more posts, but in the meantime:
Contrary to popular perception, the cause of the eclipse of myth as a way of knowing reality and hence as a path to wisdom is not the contrast between mythos and logos as epistemological instruments, the former allegedly naive and archaic and the latter critical and scientific. It is now widely recognized that the epistemology of empirical sciences, for all its vaunted claims to objectivity and exactness, is deeply metaphorical. Even the rise of Greek philosophy—the discovery of logos—did not come about by leaving mythos behind.
Indeed, Greek myths such as those in Hesiod's Theogony already contain a striking degree of rationality, as is testified by the fact that among the gods there are personifications of concepts such as wisdom, right, lawfulness, justice, and peace. Whereas it is true that Heraclitus and Xenophanes explicitly attacked the accepted mythologies, Sophists such as Protagoras and Prodicus made use of myth as an explanatory tool. Plato himself regarded myth as an ally in the working out of a philosophy. For him, myth not only offers illuminating insights into realities that elude precise explanations but also is particularly appropriate for expressing changing features of the world of becoming.
It is true that the distinct form of mythos is narrative and that of logos is discursive reasoning. However, this difference did not of itself lead to the depreciation of mythos as a way of knowing. Rather this was due primarily to the move from orality to literacy. With the rise of writing and literacy, orality through which myths and stories are transmitted declined and as the result of this decline the way of thinking in abstract terms and the tendency to viewing the world in mutually exclusive terms increased substantially. Not only the knower became separated from the known, but also the literate from the illiterate. With Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, this separation became vastly exacerbated...
The invention of the printing press aided and abetted the rise of modernity. In return, modernity favored reading and writing over storytelling and listening; information and proofs over stories; texts, preferably portable (e.g., pocket edition and paperback) that can be read in private and controlled over the free and unpredictable to-and-fro of conversation; the written contract over an oral agreement. The printed text becomes the privileged path to knowledge and wisdom.
The truth is now inscribed and located in the text, and because it is written down, the truth remains unchangeable and permanent. Indeed, unless recorded in texts, nothing is reliable, authoritative, and true, as is suggested by the expression "as it is written" (today, the equivalent expression is "as seen on TV"!). Furthermore, those who can read texts are "authorities" and have power over the illiterate. The latter are dependent on the former to know what the text says, or more precisely, what they say what the text says.
In the process, the written text itself becomes the channel of truth and wisdom and the source of power and privilege. Coming to know the truth is made possible only though an objective and scientific interpretation of the text, especially classics and sacred scriptures. As a consequence, truth becomes a commodity at the disposal of the intellectual elite and the powerful class, and logos is an instrument for reasoned and discursive argument.
By the same token, oral myth-making and storytelling are considered an inferior, imprecise, primitive guide to truth and wisdom. It is no accident that since the 19th-century myth has often been sharply distinguished from history which alone concerns with reality. Mythic consciousness is judged to represent an inferior and primitive stage of mental development incapable of expressing an abstract philosophical truth which should now be made accessible by means of demythologization.
Even though logos as a path to knowledge and wisdom is in practice reserved for a few, it is thought by modernity to be universal, at least potentially, since everyone can be taught how to read and hence have access to texts. Furthermore, when wedded to technology, logos became principally instrumental reason, and out of this marriage was born the myth of progress. But as has been hinted, the child has become totally unruly and unpredictable, and its future, to judge from the havoc it has played on the human family in the 20th century, remains under threat.

Topic Page: space probe
space vehicle carrying sophisticated instrumentation but no crew, designed to explore various aspects of the solar system (see space exploration). Unlike an artificial satellite, which is placed in more or less permanent orbit around the earth, a space probe is launched with enough energy to escape the gravitational field of the earth and navigate among the planets. Radio-transmitted commands and on-board computers provide the means for midcourse corrections in the space probe's trajectory; some advanced craft have executed complex maneuvers on command from earth when many millions of miles away in space. Radio contact between the control station on earth and the space probe also provides a channel for transmitting data recorded by on-board instruments back to earth. Instruments carried by space probes include radiometers, magnetometers, and television cameras sensitive to infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light; there also may be special detectors for micrometeors, cosmic rays, gamma rays, and solar wind. A probe may be directed to orbit a planet, to soft-land instrument packages on a planetary surface, or to fly by as close as a few thousand miles from one or more planets. The particulars of trajectory and instrumentation of each space probe are tailored around the mission's scientific and technological objectives; the data provided by a single space probe may require months or even years of analysis. Much has been learned from probes about the origins, composition, and structure of various bodies in the solar system. Scientists trying to understand the earth's weather by constructing theoretical models of global weather systems make use of the knowledge that is gained concerning the atmospheres and meteorology of the planets. Because conditions on other planets are simpler than on earth, scientists can check each of their hypotheses separately in isolation from complicating factors.
The earliest space probes in the U.S. space program were the Mariner series, which investigated Mars, Venus, and Mercury, and the Pioneer series, which explored the outer planets. Pioneer 10 was the first human-made object to entirely escape the solar system. Several Viking space probes voyaged to Mars in the late 1970s, mapping the planet and searching for life. The Voyager probes, launched in 1977, returned spectacular photos and data from brushes by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and their moons, and have continued toward the outer limits of the heliosphere, where the effects of the sun's solar wind interact with the interstellar magnetic field. The Magellan spacecraft succeeded in orbiting Venus in 1990, returning a radar map of the planet's hidden surface. The Japanese probes Sakigake and Suisei and the European Space Agency's (ESA) probe Giotto both rendezvoused with Halley's comet in 1986, and Giotto also came within 125 mi (200 km) of the nucleus of the comet Grigg-Skjellerup in 1992. The U.S. probe Ulysses returned data about the poles of the sun in 1994, and the ESA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) was orbited in 1995. Launched in 1989, the Galileo spacecraft followed a circuitous route that returned data about Venus (1990), the moon (1992), and the asteroids 951 Gaspra (1991) and 243 Ida (1993) before it reached Jupiter in 1995 and sent a small probe into the Jovian atmosphere to study its composition. Over the next eight years it orbited Jupiter 35 times, returning data about the planet's atmosphere and also about Jupiter's largest moons, Io, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. The joint U.S.-ESA mission Cassini, launched in 1997, explored Saturn, its rings, and some of its moons from 2004 to 2017 and deployed the lander Huygens on the surface of Saturn's moom Titan. The Mars Pathfinder and Mars Global Surveyor, both of which arrived at the red planet in 1997, were highly successful, the former in analyzing the Martian surface and the latter in mapping it. Both the Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Polar Lander, however, were lost upon their arrival at Mars in 1999, setting NASA's Mars exploration program back by at least two years. In 2003 the ESA's Mars Express achieved orbit around Mars, and although its Beagle 2 lander proved unsuccessful, the orbiter returned data on the planet. NASA's Spirit and Opportunity rovers landed on the planet shortly afterward in early 2004. In 2008 NASA's Phoenix lander touched down in the planet's north polar region, and in 2012 the NASA rover Curiosity landed near the equator. NASA returned to Jupiter in 2016 with the space probe Juno, which was launched in 2011 and flew by the earth in 2013; Juno carries instruments designed to examine the nature and properties of Jupiter.
The NEAR (for Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous)-Shoemaker probe returned data about the asteroid Mathilde as it flew by in 1997 and the asteroid Eros as it orbited it in 1999 and 2000 and then landed on its surface in 2001, returning unparalleled data about a minor planet. Other probes have since studied asteroids, including ESA's Rosetta, Japan's Hayabusa, which returned with samples of the asteroid Itokawa in 2010, and NASA's Dawn, which orbited and studied Vesta (2011–12) and Ceres (2015–). In 2014, Rosetta, which had also conducted a flyby of Mars (2007), went into orbit around Comet 67P and then studied it as it approached the sun, heated up and reacted, and then moved away from the sun. The first space probe to orbit a comet, Rosetta also deployed a lander on the comet and crash-landed into the comet's surface at the end of its mission (2016). Messenger, launched by NASA in 2004, became in 2011 the first space probe to orbit Mercury, and continued to study Mercury until its mission ended in 2015; it also made flybys of Venus (2006–7) and Mercury (2008–9).

Currie Cup - Round 14
Western Province book semi spot
ESPNscrum Staff
October 15, 2011

Cell C Sharks 53 - 9 Golden Lions Western Province 43 - 18 Pumas Free State 49 - 39 Griquas Blue Bulls 92 - 21 Leopards
Western Province cruised to a 43-18 victory over the Pumas on Saturday afternoon, thus booking their place in the semi-finals and an appointment with the Golden Lions.
The Blue Bulls' season is over, as a result, despite their rout of the Leopards, with Province having been able to call on their returning Springboks to good effect.
Less than a week after being dumped out of the Rugby World Cup by Australia last weekend, Jean de Villiers, Bryan Habana and Juan de Jongh all scored tries on their domestic returns. Deon Fourie, Siya Kolisi and JJ Engelbrecht also profited, while the Pumas chimed in with two tries, to Jaco Bouwer and RW Kember.
Meanwhile, the Natal Sharks ensured that they will have home advantage in their semi-final showdown with the Cheetahs by routing the Golden Lions 53-9 at Kings Park on Saturday evening.
The reigning champions also had a number of Springboks back within their ranks, though it was former international Ryan Kankowski who proved the standout performer in Durban, the back-row helping himself to a brace of tries during a dynamic display.
Freddie Michalak also shone, though, the Frenchman contributing 23 points in total with a try, six conversions and two penalties. Willem Alberts, JP Pietersen, Jacques Botes and Stefan Terblanche also touched down for the Sharks, who restricted an overwhelmed Lions side to just three penalties from Burton Francis.
Meanwhile, the Cheetahs ended their regular season campaign with a 49-39 victory over Griquas in Bloemfontein earlier in the day.
The win had temporarily moved Free State above the Sharks into second on the log after they weathered an early storm for the visitors. Riaan Viljoen's try and five points from Rudi Vogt gave Griquas the lead but they were overhauled by the break.
Cameron Jacobs got the Cheetahs on the board and openside flanker Pieter Labuschagne scored either side of the recess to cement their lead. Leon Karemaker bit back but tries to Adriaan Strauss and former Perpignan wing Philip Burger ensured the points before a late flurry by the Griquas eclipsed another home try, to replacement Werner Griesel. Dusty Noble, Sarel Pretorius and Steph Roberts all crossed in the dying moments, securing a consolation bonus point.
The Blue Bulls thrashed the Leopards 92-21 at Loftus Versfeld on Friday in a 14-try romp that had initially kept alive their slim hopes of a place in the semi-finals.
The Leopards showed some resilience in the latter stages of the first half to score three tries and trail the Bulls 21-35 after the hosts raced into a 21-0 lead. But after the break the ruthless Bulls ran through their opponents with ease, scoring nine tries in 40 minutes.
Springbok winger Bjorn Basson grabbed a hat-trick for the Bulls while CJ Stander and Juandre Kruger both grabbed two tries and Gary Botha barged over in his final game for the Bulls before joining Toulouse in France. Louis Fouche converted 11 of the tries. Hofmann Maritz, Joubert Engelbrecht and Wesley Dunlop touched down for the Leopards.

Jessica Simpson is hoping to battle back into the spotlight with her new reality show "The Price of Beauty."
The 28-year-old singer recently battled to get her weight back down after being ridiculed by Eminem in his video for "We Made You." In her new show, Simpson promises to tackle body image issues.
In the original docu-series on VH1, Simpson will span the world to meet up with everyday women and explore the meaning of true beauty. The show will take a look at "local fashions, dietary fads and beauty regimes" all across the globe, The Los Angeles Times reported.
The pop singer, who is well-known for starring in the MTV's "Newlyweds" with ex-hubby Nick Lachey, said she immediately liked the idea of a show focusing on beauty.
"I have always believed that beauty comes from within and confidence will always make a woman beautiful, but I know how much pressure some women put on themselves to look perfect," Simpson said.
Jeff Olde of VH1 said that Simpson herself "has been the target of our obsession with beauty on both sides of the equation.
"She is a woman who can set trends and create firestorms with a single photo," he added. "Jessica now gets to take control of that conversation and take a look at the idea of beauty through her own unique, unfiltered lens."
"The Price of Beauty" is set to begin shooting in mid-July and is scheduled to air in 2010. Simpson and her father, Joe Simpson, are among the show's executive producers.

Soccer Gold Medalist, NFL Players Sue Bank and Investment Advisor For Ponzi Scheme Investment
Several prominent athletes, including a newly-minted gold medalist member of the U.S. Olympic Soccer Team, have sued their former financial advisor and his employer, SunTrust Bank ("SunTrust"), alleging that they were unwitting investors in several Ponzi schemes that ultimately resulted in millions of dollars of losses. Several National Football League players, including St. Louis Rams quarterback A.J. Feeley and his wife, U.S. Olympic soccer team player Heather Mitts, were listed as plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Suntrust and financial advisor William Crafton, Jr. In the suit, the plaintiffs alleged that, rather than make conservative investments, Crafton invested the plaintiffs' funds into several high-risk investments, including at least one Ponzi scheme, that resulted in a loss of millions of dollars.
According to the complaint, Crafton began soliciting his NFL clients while he was a registered investment advisor with CSI Capital Management ("CSI") in 2003. Playing to the short and uncertain nature of the career of a professional athlete, Crafton represented that he would employ a very conservative and low-risk strategy with the principal strategy of conserving underlying principal. Beginning with Brandon Whitting, a member of the Philadelphia Eagles football team, Crafton began signing up various NFL players, including Brent Celek, Kevin Curtis, and Whitting's roomate, A.J. Feeley. Additionally, Feeley's wife, recent U.S. Olympic soccer gold medalist team member Heather Mitts, also became a client. All told, the complaint alleges that Crafton ultimately provided financial advisory services to at least 20 other professional athletes, whom Crafton referred to as his "roster".
Reassured by Crafton's promises that he would only invest in low-risk conservative investments, the plaintiffs ultimately entrusted nearly $8 million with Crafton. However, contrary to these promises, Crafton instead placed client funds into several high-risk and illiquid investments with whom he had either close personal or business relationships. For example, Crafton invested plaintiffs in Westmoore Capital, a firm with which one of Crafton's brokers maintained a personal relationship with the principal. Westmoore was later shut down in June 2010 after being accused of operating a $53 million Ponzi scheme. Additionally, Crafton invested in "Mar Vista", a high-risk venture in which Crafton, unbeknownst to plaintiffs, served as a partner. This investment also resulted in a nearly-complete loss of principal.
Crafton moved around between several financial advisor firms before selling his "roster" to SunTrust in December 2009 and agreeing to serve as the head of SunTrust's San Diego office. When the Westmoore scheme was unearthed in August 2010, SunTrust began notifying clients that those investments were essentially worthless. However, Crafton and his team disputed this in communications with his clients, claiming that SunTrust was trying to fire him and poach away his "roster". Ultimately, by early 2011, Crafton was no longer employed with SunTrust.
In the complaint, the plaintiffs charge Suntrust, Crafton, and Crafton's previous employers with multiple violations of federal securities laws. Additionally, it is also alleged that SunTrust negligently hired Crafton and failed to adequately supervise him. Plaintiffs are requesting a jury trial, and seek compensatory and punitive damages, as well as fees, pre-judgment interest, and costs.
A copy of the complaint is here.

Next Wednesday, Professor Sean Cash of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts will deliver a seminar presentation titled, "Fat Taxes and Thin Subsidies: Can food price interventions improve health?" Professor Cash will discuss the efficacy and health impacts of food price interventions that increase the cost of undesirable foods and/or decrease the cost of desirable ones. (For a little advance reading, take a look at his 2005 article by a similar title, which argues that estimates of the cost per statistical life saved through such subsidies compare favorably with existing U.S. government programs). Here's a brief description of the lecture:
Activists often argue that food prices drive the obesity epidemic, and call for a change in taxes to raise the cost of undesirable foods and subsidies to lower prices of more desirable ones. Do these fat taxes and subsidies actually work? This seminar will review the evidence on efficacy, producer and consumer responses, distribution of health impacts and financial gains or losses, as well as the role of non-price interventions in relation to price changes.
As an added bonus, the seminar will be broadcast via live stream here—so no need to brave the icy cold!

Ok so I have a problem.
You operate several hot dog stands distributed throughout town. Define a class named HotDogStand that has a member variable for the hot dog stand's ID number and a member variable for how many hot dogs the stand has sold that day. Create a constructor that allows a user of the class to initialize both values.
Also create a method named justSold that increments the number of hot dogs the stand has sold by one. The idea is that this method will be invoked each time the stand sells a hot dog so that we can track the total number of hot dogs sold by the stand. Add another method that returns the number of hot dogs sold.
Finally, add a static variable that tracks the total number of hotdogs sold by all hot dog stands and a static method that returns the value in this variable.
Write a main method to test your class with at least three hot dog stands that each sell a variety of hot dogs.
private static int totalSold = 0; public static int getTotalSold() { return totalSold; } private String name; private int id; private int numSold; public HotDogStand(String name, int id) { this.name = name; this.id = id; } public void setJustSold() { numSold++; totalSold++; } public int getNumSoldToday() { return numSold; } public int getID() { return id; } public String getName() { return name; } public String toString() { return name+" ("+id+") - "+numSold; } public HotDogStand(HotDogStand rhs) { id = rhs.id; name = ""+rhs.name; numSold = rhs.numSold; } } class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { HotDogStand one = new HotDogStand("one", 1); HotDogStand two = new HotDogStand("two", 2); HotDogStand three = new HotDogStand("three", 3); System.out.println(one); System.out.println(two); System.out.println(three); System.out.println("Total: "+HotDogStand.getTotalSold()); one.setJustSold(); two.setJustSold(); three.setJustSold(); System.out.println("Name\tID\tNumber Sold"); System.out.println("________________________________"); System.out.println(one.getName()+"\t"+one.getID()+"\t"+one.getNumSoldToday()); System.out.println(two.getName()+"\t"+two.getID()+"\t"+two.getNumSoldToday()); System.out.println(three.getName()+"\t"+three.getID()+"\t"+three.getNumSoldToday()+"\t"); System.out.println("Total: "+HotDogStand.getTotalSold()); HotDogStand four = new HotDogStand(one); } }
How come when I run it nothing shows up?

In ZFC we know that the continuum cannot have cofinality $\omega$.
However, in the Feferman-Levy model we have that $\frak c=\aleph_1$, and that $\operatorname{cf}(\omega_1)=\omega$. In fact in the Feferman-Levy model, $\aleph_\omega^L=\aleph_1^V$.
Is it consistent with ZF that $\frak c=\aleph_\omega$? Does that mean that the only restriction in ZF on the cardinality of the continuum is $\aleph_0<\frak c$?

DUPONT, Wash. - Heading into the third and final round of the NCAA Men's Golf South Central/West Regional at The Home Course, UC San Diego is in 16th place after showing improvement in Tuesday's second round of play.
UCSD boasted a six-shot betterment over Monday's opening round with a 3-over par 291 on the 7,073-yard course. The Tritons' two-round total stands at 588, 12-over par.
"Our guys worked on their short game as we asked them to and they definitely improved," said UCSD head coach Mike Wydra. "Clayton's (Yamaguchi) round was fantastic, he was one over on the par fives, and I can't say enough about Freddy (Palmer-Picard)."
Continuing to lead the 20-team field is sixth-ranked Cal State Monterey Bay, which shot a 2-under 286 today. The Otters are 11-under overall with a 565 total for the tournament. No. 10 Western Washington is in second, four strokes behind. No. 11 Grand Canyon and Colorado-Colorado Springs are tied for third, trailing CSUMB by six shots. Rounding out the top five is 24th-ranked Chico State, seven strokes behind the leader.
Colorado Springs' 6-under 282 was the low team round of the day.
Fredrik Palmer-Picard led the Tritons with his 3-under par 69, a career-best. He improved by seven strokes after finishing with a 4-over 76 in Monday's opening round, tying him for 78th place. The junior now sits in a tie for 28th following Tuesday's performance.
"The difference today was just being comfortable on the greens and comfortable with iron shots," said Palmer-Picard. "On the back nine, I hit a lot of good irons that ended up 10 feet from the hole and I made several putts. It was definitely a little softer out there, a little less wind to deal with. Especially for the first 13 or 14 holes, there was very little wind at all. You could really attack the pins - land it just short and it would bounce right up to the hole."
Two other Tritons saw marked improvements in their scores. Freshman Clayton Yamaguchi rebounded from a 3-over 75 Monday to shoot a 1-under 71 today, moving him up from a tie for 61st into a tie for 39th. Sophomore Jay Lim, who carded a 4-over 76 yesterday, finished with a 1-over 73, going from a tie for 78th into a tie for 64th.
"I hit the ball a lot better today and I putted much better, too," said Yamaguchi, who had just one bogey. "I kept the ball in play and rolled in some putts and it just translated to a better score. The course was a lot softer. It was hotter yesterday and the course really dried out, making it firm. It was more scorable today."
Junior Lewis Simon, who was UCSD's top competitor Monday with a 2-under 70, finished with a 6-over 78 Tuesday, dropping him from a tie for 11th into a tie for 56th. Classmate Jacob Williams also struggled in the second round, carding an 84, 12-over par. He is tied for 105th.
Taking over the individual lead Tuesday was Kevin Witte from Colorado-Colorado Springs. He fired a 5-under 67 and is 8-under overall with a two-round total of 136. Kyle Beard of Dallas Baptist and Dalen Yamauchi from Hawaii-Hilo are tied for second, just one stroke behind Witte.
Palmer-Picard totaled four birdies, 13 pars and just one bogey in round two. After starting the day with a bogey on the par-5 10th, he registered six straight pars followed by a birdie on 17 and a par on 18. He posted three birdies on the back nine, including back-to-back on seven and eight.
"There were some nerves I had to get over from yesterday" said the Walnut Creek native. "I was a little shaky over a couple of putts, missed a few short ones early and it affected me through the whole round. I did the same thing on the first hole today - missed a short one - but I stayed patient and rolled one in on the third hole for par and just got more comfortable as the day went on."
Entering the regional, Palmer-Picard had competed in just one tournament for the Tritons this season, tying for 25th of 87 golfers with a +16, 232 at the Hanny Stanislaus Invitational in mid-April. He played his way to Washington with strong results in several qualifiers held by the team.
"Freddy has been a hard worker for a long time and he deserves this kind of success," said Wydra.
Williams will be the first off the tee for UCSD Wednesday, starting at 8:20 a.m. He will be followed by Lim (8:30 a.m.), Simon (8:40 a.m.), Yamaguchi (8:50 a.m.) and Palmer-Picard (9 a.m.). They will start from hole 10 for the second straight day.
The top five team finishers and the top two individuals from non-qualifying teams will advance to the NCAA Division II Championships on May 20-24 in Hershey, Pa.
Regional play can be followed with live scoring, with scores updated after every three holes.

A major theme of the past half year was fooling the viewer, and the uncrowned king (or queen in this case) of this theme definitely is Nijuu Mensou no Musume. In this series, Studio Bones tells about a twelve-year old girl, who gets adopted by a glamorous and world-famous thief, in the period of right after the second world war. That leads you to expect that this is going to be some sort of thief-series, where Chiko and Nijuu Mensou (the girl and the thief) spend most of its time to steal a number of precious artefacts. Well, no.
I refuse to spoil what's exactly going to happen, but expect a lot of points where the storyline in this series will just take 180 degree turns as the series progresses. This is really one series that keeps you guessing, and wondering where the characters will go next. And that's the charm of this series for me.
To accompany the storyline, the series also has a number of very solid characters. Chiko works really well as a female lead: she's smart and composed, although in the first few episodes, she does lean awfully close to a Mary-Sue. Thankfully, as the series progresses, she develops away from that trope. The side-characters are also excellent, though there are a few oddballs among them. Characters as Ken and Haruka never really can seem to find their place in this series.
Unfortunately, as this series enters its final third, its quality decreases dramatically. Up till that point, the series had been wonderfully unpredictable, and then it decides to close off with a drawn-out rip off of one of its earlier arcs, and a final antagonist who just lacks development for the big role he's supposed to have, turning him into another one of those villains that are evil because they're evil. The development in this arc pretty much stagnates, a few deus ex machina pop up here and there, it takes several episodes to do something that could just have been done in one, the final climax is a string of clichés, and overall it just took the potential this series had and threw it away.
Because of that, I just can't label this as a great series, since it could have been so much better if a bit more time was spent to tweak that final arc. What could have been a masterpiece went rather downhill during its finale. Because of that, Nijuu Mensou no Musume still is a good series, but nowhere near the best of the season.

An independent journalist in Oregon, Ersun Warncke, actually did perform this tedious task and came up with this data:
Out of 2,970 9/11 victims listed, only 446 appear in the Social Security death index. Of those only 249 have a confirmed death certificate on file.
http://www.salem-news.com/articles/sept ... ons-ew.php
The two of us had a lengthy chat on Skype this summer and he turned that into a really good article/interview.
Please leave a comment there - on the Salem News - if you feel like it !
Obviously some sort of explosives brought down the towers correct?
Why is it so unfathomable that people were killed in an initial explosion?
Over half the people listed as real outside of rescue workers worked for either Marsh and McLennan or Cantor Fitzgerald.
Obviously the main plot of 9/11 wouldn't be to take these people out
but let's not overlook the fact that there could have been multiple levels of agendas of corruption going on that day.
it's pretty ridiculous to say that there is no possible way ANYONE died
How could explosives powerful enough to take down a building not result in any deaths?
And why would the WTC be completely vacant on 9/11?
I think the discovery of no planes has made people go too extreme in their opinions on 9/11.
Sure TV Fakery is the head of the snake that exposes the media perps, but let's not pretend that the Twin Towers are still standing.
Obviously SOMETHING brought down the towers, and whatever it was, the initial explosion to simulate a "plane" it's not that unfeasible that lives were lost.
And considering the alarming rate in which people who worked for less than handful of companies that dominate those records (Marsh and McLennan/ Cantor Fitzgerald, and Aon) again perhaps Mr. Grove is telling the truth after all.
It makes sense that the main people who have the most evidence that they were dead would be people near the initial explosion AND the rescue workers.
The people on the floors in the initial explosion
...rescue workers because they were looking for people when the Towers came down, another act in which chances of survival are not exactly high.
They had no idea those buildings were coming down.
ATTC wrote:Yeah I'm pretty sure no one dies in a controlled demolition because people KNOW it's a controlled demolition and no one is even let anywhere near the building.
How can you compare a demolition job that everyone knows is a demo job so far in advance that they even bring their cameras to watch, and what happened on 9/11?
Speaking of which, why in the world would they want to evacuate the building so all the people who go outside can clearly SEE the explosion and no plane? They probably wanted as few people on the street as possible.
And don't you realize the burden of proof is on our court to prove that there were no victims?
And the real question is why is it so upsetting for you that there could have been victims?
And don't you realize that even if there was a handful of real victims, that would be the only thing that people would need to point to to ruin the whole theory?
Why start with that extreme a position?
Isn't falsifying the number of deaths by 20 fold worse enough?
Isn't bringing down those towers bad enough?
You think these people would be nice enough to not take away any lives on 9/11?
Why do you think TPTB are that nice that they would warn everybody in advance?
If anything it would be just like those cruel maniacal people to at least insure SOME loss of life, but just to inflate the death toll to make sure we go through with their foreign and domestic policy
Yeah they may warn a few of their henchman like Rudolph "9/11" Guliani especially to use him as a political weapon, but they hardly care about the rest of the civilians that would just be pawns and collateral damage in their eyes.
ATTC wrote:it's pretty ridiculous to say that there is no possible way ANYONE died from that.
fbenario wrote:ATTC wrote:it's pretty ridiculous to say that there is no possible way ANYONE died from that.
How dare you say that? No one here has EVER come remotely close to saying there is no possible way anyone died on 9/11. What we theorize is that there is no credible proof as of this time that any real person (who can be proved to have existed before 9/11) died that day as a result of whatever happened.
We require all new members to understand the septemberclues video, AND the Vicsim Report, before they start posting. There are 1000s of websites that welcome discussion of 9/11 planes, hijackers, Muslims, and victims. This forum isn't one of them - in fact, it is the ONLY website discussing all these faked 9/11 'facts'. You need to go elsewhere if you want to post about victims, unless you can provide objective evidence likely to convince the neutral reader.
Don't ever again put made-up words into our mouths, assume that's what we think, and then negate/laugh at that fabricated position that we don't hold.
EDIT - And stop talking about financial firm tenants of the WTC, unless you provide credible evidence of their presence, along with 100s of their employees, that day.

Reports: FBI looks at Bob McDonnell
RICHMOND, Va. — The FBI has begun examining the relationship between Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife Maureen and the chief executive of a nutritional supplements manufacturer that is the subject of a federal investigation, two people with knowledge of the review said Monday.
Federal authorities began questioning people close to the McDonnells as an outgrowth of a securities probe of Virginia-based Star Scientific Inc., said the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because their roles in the case preclude them from speaking publicly.
Story Continued Below
They said FBI agents have asked questions about gifts the McDonnells have received from company CEO Jonnie Williams and whether the Republican governor or his administration aided the company in return.
The review was first reported Monday by The Washington Post.
Earlier in the day, Todd Schneider, the ex-chef for the governor's mansion who faces four felony counts alleging he stole from the mansion, alleged in court papers that he gave FBI and state police investigators evidence a year ago of wrongdoing and abuse by McDonnell and his family. This included documents showing Williams paid $15,000 to help cover the costs of catering done by Schneider's private company for a June 2011 mansion wedding reception for McDonnell's daughter Cailin, court papers show.
McDonnell did not disclose the gift on his January 2012 statement of economic interests, noting that state law requires only that gifts to elected officials themselves, not family members, be reported.
An FBI spokeswoman refused to comment Monday evening, as did the office of U.S. Attorney Neil McBride.
There was no reply late Monday night to email and telephone messages left for McDonnell's chief spokesman, J. Tucker Martin, about the FBI review. Earlier Monday, Martin said Schneider's allegations were part of "an inquiry for the prosecution as it involves a pending matter in the upcoming embezzlement trial of the former Mansion chef, and we will not comment on it."
Jerry W. Kilgore, an attorney for Williams, said his client would have no comment.
The two people close to the review said questions about the McDonnells arose from the securities investigation into Star Scientific, which the company disclosed last month. They said federal investigators want to know the extent of gifts to McDonnell's family and what the governor or the administration may have done to promote a Star Scientific food supplement marketed as Anatabloc.
McDonnell's administration said the governor's efforts to assist Star Scientific are no different than what the governor has done to help hundreds of Virginia-based businesses grow and prosper.
According to the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonprofit tracker of money in Virginia politics, Williams has given McDonnell's political action committee nearly $80,000 and gave his 2009 campaign for governor $28,584. It also shows McDonnell receiving personal gifts totaling $7,382 from the company in 2012.
Monday's reports of FBI interest in the case along with the motions filed in Schneider's case are the first to directly allege misconduct by Virginia's governor and his family in the continuing criminal investigation arising from kitchen operations at the 200-year-old Virginia Executive Mansion, the official home of the state's governors and the longest-serving gubernatorial residence of any state.
The ex-chef's case has tarnished the rising GOP star that McDonnell had been a year ago. McDonnell, a former prosecutor, was considered a potential running mate for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney last year.

Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist and folk religion trinkets have a place at his modest souvenir stall next to Prambanan Temple, a ninth century Hindu compound in Central Java, Indonesia. He sells miniatures of Prambanan's main temples and some of the statues inside, and similar mementos for Borobudur, the neighboring eighth century Buddhist monument. After Prambanan was damaged during an earthquake in 2006, the world heritage site has had a hard time reaching the visitor numbers it used to attract. Having lost a sizeable percentage of their income, shop owners like Suharyono are desperate to sell something, anything. "Cheap price my priend!"

Senate farm bill a small step forward for Calif.
Washington -- The Senate is poised to take up a new farm bill in the coming weeks that will set the nation's food policy for the next five years and cost nearly $1 trillion over a decade.
But California, the nation's largest farm producer and a strong voice in environmental and health policy, is destined to cede billions of dollars to entrenched commodity interests in the Midwest and South.
The state's fresh fruit and vegetable growers are pleased that the Senate bill preserves hard-fought gains in the last farm bill in 2008, including research for organics and produce, farmers' markets and more fruit and vegetable purchases for school lunches and other federal food programs.
This year, California Democrats are weighing into the debate earlier and more forcefully than in the past. Still, the great bulk of federal support for farms remains focused on such commodities as corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton, just as farm bills have since 1933.
Programs rooted in the Depression and Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and never aimed at fresh fruits and vegetables, took on a life of their own, leaving California to chart its own way separate from the rest of farm country.
Subsidies in the new legislation would encourage corn and other commodity crops that are a major component of processed foods and animal feed rather than the produce that is the staple of a healthy diet.
State generally bit player
Despite its productivity, California historically has played a bit part in farm bills, ceding control of the powerful House and Senate Agriculture Committees to the Midwest and South.
"The bill does not restructure the food system for the 21st century," said Michael Dimock, president of Roots of Change, a San Francisco philanthropy intended to move the farm economy to more localized production of fresh food.
Dimock said Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., the first committee chair to hail from a produce-growing state, "has done the best she can given the realities in Congress right now. But there are people in my world who are going to fight like hell to make it painful for Congress, and they should."
Specialty crops rule
Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations panel that doles out farm spending and one of the few Californians with a big voice in farm policy, called the Senate bill "a small step forward, but certainly not as much as California would like and that California is already doing for itself."
Since 1933, when federal farm support began during the Great Depression and a quarter of Americans still lived on farms, Congress has written five-year bills to control the prices and quantities of corn, wheat, rice, cotton and other commodity staples in an effort to boost farm incomes.
Over the decades, the programs hastened the concentration and industrialization of agriculture into fewer and larger farms focused on single crops.
California produce growers never participated in these programs, priding themselves on their independence. Because they did not rely on federal payments, California fruit and vegetable growers led the country in innovative farming methods, adapting to market demand and diversifying risk.
This year, they are happy to preserve the research, marketing and other small programs they won in 2008. Tom Nassif, president of Western Growers, which represents California produce farmers, called the Senate bill "outstanding for the speciality crop industry."
Most of the bill's spending goes for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, which aid the poor and provide a market for farmers. But a big chunk, $142 billion over 10 years, would go to support corn and other commodities at a time when farmers are riding a historic commodity boom.
New entitlements
Senate leaders plan to take up the farm bill in June. Under pressure to cut the federal deficit, the committee cut farm spending by $23.6 billion over 10 years, partly by eliminating so-called direct payments, billions of dollars in checks that are sent to commodity growers for no reason other than that they received federal aid in the past.
From 1995 to 2010, commodity growers received $41.5 billion in direct payments. Direct payments were so widely disparaged after the last farm bill that commodity groups concluded they were dead politically.
Yet at the same time, the bill creates a new entitlement program for commodity growers to protect them from "shallow losses," or small dips in their income of the kind that other businesses routinely weather without federal aid.
In addition, the bill expands subsidies for crop insurance, a program whose costs have grown explosively as corn, wheat and other grain prices have skyrocketed. The government pays on average 62 percent of the cost of the premiums, and also subsidizes the agents and companies that sell crop insurance.
Crop insurance is not well suited to many California growers. Weather-related losses are less of an issue on irrigated land, and insurance is costlier for a multiplicity of small crops with relatively small markets such as pears or Brussels sprouts compared to one large crop such as corn.
Spending on commodities
The Government Accountability Office projected that crop insurance subsidies will cost almost $90 billion over the next decade, even as net farm income reached a record $98.1 billion last year. As a result, total spending on commodity crops in the Senate bill "virtually remains unchanged" from 2008, said Kari Hamerschlag, a senior analyst for the Environmental Watchdog Group.
Commodity farmers "have been making more money than they ever had in their lives," said Daniel Sumner, a farm economist at UC Davis. "It's kind of nice, so they want to guarantee that."
Of critical importance to California are farm bill conservation programs to protect wildlife habitat, soils, air, water and wetlands. The farm bill covers more than a billion acres, greater than half the U.S. contiguous land mass, making it one of the biggest pieces of environmental legislation that Congress considers.
Cuts in conservation
The Senate bill cuts conservation by $6.4 billion. "It's a very substantial 10 percent cut," said Ferd Hoefner, policy director of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, a group that supports smaller, diversified farms.
Dimock said Congress lags years behind California in moving toward healthier food and farming.
"The underlying problem in the food economy is that industrialization destroys diversity," Dimock said. "That leads to ecological impacts, human health impacts and economic impacts." He said the Senate bill, "as it stands, has only very small portions that focus on that."

text: The ego loves to hook into gossip stories about celebrities we've never even met. These false illusions make us perceive the celebrity as more special than we are. From A Course in Miracles perspective special aint so special at all. When we make an idol of someone we are perceiving them as separate. This separation is the opposite of a spiritual perspective and it weakens our faith in oneness. The ego's special celebrity relationship totally flips us out creating a domino effect of negativity. In efforts to make ourselves feel better for not being as famous and cool we go into attack mode, judging someone we've never even met. I know, it' sounds super trippy, but in some way we've all been there. In this video I get honest about how my ego makes celebrities special and I offer spiritual solutions for releasing our special illusions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. Energy Department said some factors contributing to retail gasoline prices spikes aren't yet felt by consumers at the pump.
Retail gasoline prices for a gallon of regular unleaded Tuesday ranged from $4.23 in California, a 15 percent increase for the year, to $4.01 in New York, a 28-cent increase month-on-month, motor group AAA reports.
The U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said refinery outages and the switch to more expensive summer blends of gasoline were in part to blame for higher prices at the pump.
So-called crack spreads, the difference between wholesale gasoline prices and crude oil prices, were identified by the EIA as accounting for more than 60 percent of the price increase. During the fourth quarter, the EIA said a barrel of Brent crude oil was worth less than a barrel of gasoline, which was reflected in late 2012 gasoline prices.
"Between Jan. 1 and Feb. 19, the price of Brent crude oil, the waterborne light sweet crude grade that drives the wholesale price of gasoline sold in most U.S. regions, rose about $6 per barrel, or about 15 cents per gallon," it said.
The U.S. Energy Department said it expects gasoline prices for 2013 to average $3.55 per gallon. Short-term, however, the EIA said it's "possible that a part of the rise in wholesale prices has not yet been fully reflected in pump prices."

Movie News & Reviews
'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs': You'll want extra helpings
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is the latest unexpected delight from Sony Pictures Animation, the folks who gave us Monster House and Surf's Up. A delicious farce and a backhanded slap at America the Obese, it might be the funniest animated film of the year.
Based on the popular children's book by Judi and Ron Barrett, Meatballs is about fathers and sons, daring to be smart, and the price of gluttony.
Bill Hader, a voice-acting natural, is Flint Lockwood, the kid who "wants to be smart. But that's lame." So the other kids told him. He's grown up to be the resident screwball inventor of the tiny island town of Swallow Falls. His spray-on shoes and hybrid "rat-birds" are a bust. But he needs to come up with something since this sardine capital fell on hard times.
His dad (James Caan, drawn with an eyeless monobrow) wants Flint to join him at the family tackle shop. But Flint, ignoring past disasters, has one last gadget up his sleeve — one that can change water vapor into prepared foods. When this thing goes airborne and cheeseburgers drop from the sky, that's a Weather News Network event, one the perky intern Sam Sparks (Anna Faris, another natural cartoon voice) is ready to cover.
The Sony house animation style is punchy, kid-friendly and in-your-face — close-ups of characters like the hysterical cop (Mr. T.). Gadgets and rat-birds fly off the screen, and we're treated to visually stunning vermicelli tornadoes and an epic "food-a-lanche."
The writing — the opening credits call this "A film by ... a lot of people" — delivers five good laughs before those credits are done. Visual puns and TV weather gags abound. Check out the recognizable childhood toys that Flint repurposed for his mad scientist's laboratory.
And in between the Jell-O mold diving, ice-cream sledding and derivative, overdone action finale, Hader, Faris, Caan and the writers deliver a biting message that parents should love — celebrate smartness and ease up on the "easy" (junk) food before it kills you.

Unhealthy foods dominate Spanish TV shows for kids
More than 84 percent of all food and drink ads on Spanish-language T.V. are unhealthy, falling into the category of high-calorie and nutrient-poor, according to a study published in the Journal of Health Communication.
That's 10 percent higher than on English-language shows.
"All children and especially Latinos, are bombarded with television ads that sell junk food and sugary drinks," said Dale Kunkel, a communications professor at the University of Arizona at Tucson. "These findings are particularly concerning given the high rates of obesity among Latino youths."
In 2007-08, about 42 percent of Mexican-American children ages 6 to 11 were obese or overweight compared with 34.5 percent of white children the same age, according to Kunkel.
Kunkel and his colleagues, through funding from the Robert Wood Johnson foundation, analyzed ad content between February and April 2009 for 158 Spanish-language children's shows and compared then with 139 English-language programs. The majority of ads promoted candy, sugary cereals, fries and sodas, which are known as Whoa foods because they are less healthy and tend to slow kids down.
The study also found that fast-food ads accounted for nearly half of the food commercials, more than three quarters of the ads used popular cartoon characters to market products, and commercials for healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, were extremely rare.
Although industry leaders recognized in 2006 that there was a need for reform ads targeting kids, Kunkel said the study shows that the industry's attempts at self-regulation haven't been effective.
"Most of the ads aimed at kids feature Whoa products, so clearly there's a big gap between the industry's definition of healthy and what nutrition experts say," he said.

Knights on Bikes
In an annual pilgrimage visit to 13 different churches around the Golden Triangle on Good Friday, March 29, members of the Knights of Columbus subgroup Knights on Bikes shared a meal and prayer as well as reflected on the Stations of the Cross — moments associated with the historical and Biblical accounts of the trial, condemnation, punishment and death of Jesus. Members of different Councils of the Knights of Columbus who are motorcycle enthusiasts rode from church to church on their motorcycles and then assembled at the Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas Hospitality Center in Port Arthur. The Knights on Bikes shared the standard lunch for center guests that day, a meal that the Knights of Columbus donated. This year a total of 28 people participated in the event, with 21 motorcycles involved. Participants included one priest and two deacons.

Liftoff: Launching Agile Teams & Projects
by Diana Larsen and Ainsley Nies
Liftoff—it's the unexplored, often ignored, Agile project practice.
As the first act of the flight, a rocket launch requires an entire set of systems to successfully lift the vehicle into orbit—not just the vehicle itself, but all the systems needed for smoothly moving off the ground into space. Likewise, your project needs its entire set of supporting systems in place to begin a successful journey to delivery.
Whatever we call it (project kickoff, bootcamp, inception, or jump start), liftoff gives your team its trajectory, and launches your project. This critical practice informs, inspires, and aligns everyone to deliver the right software, successfully.
You too can launch successful projects! Agile veterans Diana Larsen and Ainsley Nies share their experience and teach you how to organize and conduct liftoffs, hold team activities to discover what's most important, and offer a working framework for effective and lightweight agile chartering.

Lipid disorders are problems that affect the way cholesterol is
produced, used, carried in the blood, or disposed of by the body. People who have
lipid disorders develop very high total cholesterol levels, very low HDL (or
"good") cholesterol levels, and/or high triglyceride levels.
Lipid disorders are often inherited. People who have lipid
disorders are usually at risk for coronary artery disease, often at
an early age.
If a person is known to have a lipid disorder, treatment can be
started early to lower the person's cholesterol. And family members can be made
aware that they may also be at risk.
Examples of inherited lipid disorders include familial combined
hyperlipidemia and familial hypercholesterolemia.

Andy Powell has been cited four an alleged offensive hand jesture and foul language © Getty Images
Sale Sharks have been hit with a double citing following their defeat to Bath at the weekend.
Sale lost 31-10 at the Recretion Ground and have now suffered five losses on the bounce since the start of the season. They received two yellow cards during the match and the pair have both been cited. Fullback Tom Brady has been charged with an "alleged dangerous tackle on Ben Skirving" which happened in the 32nd minute.
No.8 Andy Powell is alleged to have "mouthed foul language and to have made an offensive hand gesture to spectators" following his late sin-binning with just two minutes of the game left. The pair will appear in front of an RFU disciplinary panel on Tuesday.
And Wasps also have one player in the dock with Tim Payne cited for "allegedly striking Vasily Artemyev with the knee contrary to Law10.4 (a)" during their match with Northampton on Friday. Payne, who was playing in his 250th game for Wasps, was sin-binned for the incident which occurred in the dying moments of the first-half after the referee referred it to the Television Match Official. He too will find out his fate on Tuesday.

Our MissionAt the Zabrecky Institute of Biomedicine, state of the art diagnostics and treatments are our absolute standard, and prevention of disease is our ideal. Your current health status doesn't determine your future - it is only our starting point for you.
The true art of healing at our institute comes from achieving homeostasis (balance) between our patients and their environments. We pride ourselves in making accurate diagnosis of the most difficult disease processes, a critical step in the healing process, and designing highly advanced, individualized, treatment protocols, that result in a patients' ability to harness his/her own inner healing power. Our role as practitioners is not just to consider the disease, but to view the mind, body, soul and intellect of the patient, in his world.
Our Perspective
Most traditional practices focus on treating the patient's acute symptoms instead of understanding and targeting the root causes of the underlying disease process. Many of these processes are triggered by inflammation in various parts of the body.
The Institute's guiding principle is to identify those factors which create or contribute to the inflammation and mitigate and/or treat those factors to return the body to a balanced state of homeostasis.
Our Approach
Our patients bring a variety of difficult and unique conditions to the Zabrecky Institute of Biomedicine. Each is provided a customized and unique course of treatment using complementary therapies best suited to his or her condition. This course of treatment is based on a detailed evaluation which may include:
- Evaluation and consultation by our integrative medical team
- Evaluation of the body's current risk for disease
- Evaluation for interfering structural, biochemical and environmental factors
- Review of current treatments of any active disease processes
- Support for genetic weaknesses through prevention to help fortify and maintain the body's reserves
- Education aimed at adopting changes which will reverse the degenerative process
- Recommendations for treatment at the Institute and referrals to other physicians or health professionals for co-treatment as required.
