Following the widespread devastation of Superstorm Sandy, Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) is receiving national honors for its successful power restoration. Today, the company was presented with the Edison Electric Institute's (EEI) Emergency Recovery Award in recognition of extraordinary efforts undertaken to restore electrical service following severe weather conditions or natural events. "CL&P was faced with a major restoration effort following Sandy," said EEI President Tom Kuhn. "Getting the lights back on quickly and safely is never easy following these natural disasters. It takes strong commitment, advanced planning, and great execution. CL&P responded with all three. They're a great example for the nation's electric power industry. I congratulate them." Additionally, Northeast Utilities, parent company of CL&P, was selected as a winner of the EEI 2012 Emergency Assistance Award, which recognizes extraordinary efforts undertaken in restoring electric service to another utility company that has been disrupted by severe weather conditions or other natural events. "These national honors truly belong to our employees, who were the driving force behind our successful restoration in hard-hit Connecticut, and our extensive mutual aid support," said Bill Quinlan, CL&P's Senior Vice President for Emergency Preparedness. "Superstorm Sandy caused epic devastation up and down the eastern seaboard, and through tremendous hard work, our employees demonstrated their commitment to serving our customers and communities, as well as others in need." Superstorm Sandy impacted all 149 cities and towns served by CL&P and in the days that followed, crews worked to restore power to more than 850,000 customers. In some areas, entire portions of the electric system were rebuilt, with over 1,700 new poles set and more than 100 miles of wire restrung. Once restoration was complete in Connecticut, crews from CL&P, and other NU companies, supported the ongoing efforts in neighboring New York and New Jersey by sending line crews and field personal to restore power in those areas.
Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P), a Northeast Utilities company (NYSE: NU), transmits and delivers electricity to 1.2 million customers in 149 cities and towns.

Could Mei-Ann Chen be a candidate to replace Bruno Ferrandis at the helm of the Santa Rosa Symphony when his contract expires at the end of the 2017-18 season? If so, she would be a strong contender. Her impressive guest conducting at the orchestra's Jan. 10 concert at Weill Hall in Sonoma State's Green Center was overshadowed, however, by a staggering performance from the young violinist Caroline Goulding, who played the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto to perfection.

Chatham Towers
Completely poured-in-place reinforced concrete with exposed exterior walls form the structural support for the buildings. A system adapted in lieu of normal column and curtain wall construction in order to eliminate column projections within rooms– and to impart a strong sculptural and architectural expression to the project. Instead of conventional face brick, the exposed concrete exteriors retain the random-plank, wood grained surface of the specially designed forms used in pouring the concrete. The use of the concrete succeeds, to some extent, in visually linking the buildings to the limestone and granite buildings of the nearby civic center and at the same time sets them apart, not only from the typical tenements of Chinatown, but also from the more mundane red brick of nearby housing projects to the east.
On the two-acre site, each 25-story tower fronts Worth Street at an angle, with a rising curved driveway ramp connecting the two. Under the ramp is the entrance, also fronting Worth Street, to the underground garage for 125 vehicles. From the ramp concrete steps descend to the ground floor which is made up of a northern and southern open loggia which lead to the lobby area. The lobby level houses two offices units and a community room running on the east-west axis.
The slender tower parti made it possible to have only five apartments per floor. All apartments are designed with off-foyer layouts, larger than average size rooms, and generous closets space enclosed by folding doors. With exception of studio units in the center, all living rooms have corner exposures, and half of these corner apartments have terraces. Mechanical equipment on the roof is enclosed by a concrete cube with a trapezoidal opening simulating a giant "eye" on the head of each tower, recalling similar treatments of roof equipment by Le Corbusier in his housing projects (Unité d'Habitation, Marseilles).
The link between underground and above-ground are shed-roofed concrete bulkheads with colored multi-light glazing. They bring light into the garage, and at the same time, the colored glass provides almost the only touch of color to the monochromatic architecture.
In the plaza development, visual considerations were very important to the landscape architects: the strong pattern of the fish-scale paving, visible from above, or the illusion of the bottomless created by lining the shallow reflecting pool with black coal. Structural considerations made it necessary to maintain a differential of only one step. A playground, originally located south of the plaza, was closed in 1966 because of a cave-in of the soil and declared unsafe.
Many streets converge at the site, formerly known as Five Points. So the focal nature of the site seemed to require a strong vertical, which was established early in the design stage. The structural system was not firmly established until later; originally it was to be steel and glass. The budget of $1.50 per cu. ft. (not including air conditioning and garage) allowed for a reinforced concrete structure, cast in place, with exposed surface. At the time the result was somewhat more expensive than conventional construction–about $1.00 per sq. ft. more. Advantages of the concrete system, aside from its strong sculptural and architectural expression, were that the structural system eliminated beam and column projections within the building and made possible a more flexible layout.
Two 25-story towers were erected in the peculiar triangular site, with 5 apartments per floor with a total of 240 cooperative units. The buildings occupy only 15 of the site, with 85 percent of the land used for the plaza and playground. Peter Samton, of the original design team, described how originally the two towers faced one another over the plaza. He came up with the idea of shifting one tower to have them both face south together like two sentinels over lower Manhattan, their Cyclopean heads hovering over Chinatown when viewed from the north.
Despite a strict budget usually associated with public housing projects, Kelly & Gruzen gave the development a high degree of built-in luxury. For their investment, residents got several firsts in New York City housing. Chatham Towers were the first in the use of entirely exposed poured-in-place concrete, which gives them that distinct and dynamic look.
The project was also the first gypsum wallboard high rise project in Manhattan for interior partitions, as opposed to more labor-intensive plaster. In fact, a heated controversy between wallboard manufacturers and plastering contractors and plasterers' unions ensued. For the 240 unit towers 800,000 square feet of gypsum were installed, a difference that amounted to $30,000 in favor of dry-wall construction. Sheets measuring 4 by 8 feet and manufactured by Allied Chemical Corporation were used for partitions. A double layer of half-inch-thick gypsum was attached to steel runners at the floor and ceiling of the apartments. For the stair wells, elevator shafts, air ducts and the like, the wallboard was attached directly to the concrete surface with an adhesive.
Chatham Towers also was the first project in the city to use urethane insulation on its exterior walls; the closed-cell urethane foam was not previously permitted by the building code. Another first for Manhattan was the use for an apartment building of a Swedish-designed window. The problem of noise was particularly studied because of the traffic and circulation factor in this particular neighborhood. The window has a double thickness of glass with a Venetian blind between, and the whole unit can be opened for ventilation and pivoted for cleaning. The unit reduces noise levels and brings protection from the sun in the summer. Because of its high insulation value, the window prevents heat loss in the winter months. Consequently, both heating and central air conditioning equipment are reduced.
"Housing has been both a first and a final difficulty for Modernism. Its beginnings in villas for the wealthy and apartment blocks for the workers took decades to gel into anything that could be "sold" to the middle classes. Chatham Towers offers an architecturally and socially informative example of the moment in America when it looked like the sale could finally be made."
Targeted to a more affluent group of residents than those in Chatham Green next door, the new project was built by the Committee for Middle Income Housing under Title 1, and it conveyed a sense of luxury and decisively broke with the prevailing institutional look of subsidized housing. It is the attention to proportion and detail that gives the complex a humane quality, which served to advance the aim of the developers: "to demonstrate that decent middle-income urban housing could still be built." At the time the towers were finished in 1965, "middle income" was a category which included those incomes ranging from $5,000 to $15,000. The apartments required an equity investment ranging from $3,980 for a studio to $7,280 for two bedrooms to $8,930 for three bedrooms with terrace, and monthly carrying charges ranging from $105 to $252 to $270 respectively.
Six months after the towers opened, 64 of the 240 apartments were yet to be sold, a situation that could have put the co-op corporation into a shaky financial condition. A New York Times article published in May of 1966 reported tenant-owners doubling as salespeople to help sell the remaining apartments. Volunteering on weekends the residents had sold 50 additional units and were hoping to have the remaining 14 sold by June.
Among early tenants were an oil company executive, a senior editor for a professional homebuilding magazine, an attorney, a Wall Street securities analyst, and a television and electronics engineer.
Unquestionably it is the appearance of these two concrete giants rising on the corner site which makes them stand out; it is their form and texture which makes them so exciting. Instead of conventional face brick, the exposed concrete exteriors retain the random-plank, wood grained surface of specially designed forms used in pouring the concrete. At four corners of each building, two terraced floors alternate with two unterraced ones, producing a serrated silhouette, in contrast to the sheer vertical lines of the tower themselves, which is emphasized by the spacing of alternate panels of glass and textured concrete. Nothing like them had ever been seen in New York, a pair of towers that seem carved out of gritty cliffs of concrete wall, making vertical grooves that create light and shadow, solids and voids. The same effect that is created vertically in microcosm in the walls is created horizontally in macrocosm in the massing by balconies and the lack of them. This effect is further extended within the balconies themselves by the solid walls and the voids that are the open and shadowed places. These great jagged forms, topped by Cyclopean heads at the rooftops, seemingly hover over Chinatown when seen from the north. Strong architectural statements as were the towers also drew their share of criticism. Right away passersby and tenants alike expected the buildings to be painted. When viewed up close, the entrances are hard to find, because the buildings are set on an awkward site. Besides possessing successful composition and a bold sculptural presence it has been said that the buildings turn their backs on everything and everyone, that they are insular, that they focus on themselves. The fact that it lacked some crucial linkage to the overall neighborhood made some circles in the city label the towers as just "another housing project."
The New York State Association of Architects bestowed the tower complex an award of merit in the residential category at its 1964 convention. After it was completed the towers received the Bard Award for Excellence in Architecture and Urban Design. The award was given in 1967 by the City Club of New York Albert S. Bard Civic Award Trust Fund "for outstanding achievement in projects owned, financed or aided by government agencies and built withing the five boroughs of the City of New York." The critique by the Award Jury stated, "Kelly and Gruzen have broken new ground with their housing project, Chatham Towers. Semi-public building in New York City is inherently and traditionally nearly impossible. "Projectitis" is endemic in our cities. This project is an astounding exception. Kelly and Gruzen's rough Expressionist towers, represent a new Romantic reaction from International style simplicity. The resulting design is strong, rough, but carefully detailed, excellently executed."
For Norval White and Elliot Willensky, editors of the AIA Guide to New York City, the complex immediately joined the ranks of "distinguished housing architecture", along with the Dakota, Butterfield House, 131-135 East 66th Street and Williamsburg Houses. Paul Goldberger, in his book "The City Observed", said that Chatham Towers, in contrast to its neighbor, Chatham Green, "has aged well, and even though it could be called heavy-handed Corbusier, it is well-scaled, comfortable, and visually attractive, qualities which help any building survive the passage of time.
"With its raw concrete and late Corbusian flourishes at the base and penthouse, the Towers are often described as Brutalist. However, their monumental geometry seems just as inflected by Louis Kahn, and their mannered details by the refined late Modernism then being practiced in Boston (TAC, Benjamin Thompson).''

Civil War: The Continuation of Communism by Other Means
Introduction to Civil War is an alternative origin myth. Introduction to Civil War is the vademecum when you show up to fight club, or any strange twelve-stepesque community of friends. Introduction to Civil War is the book to keep out of the hands of children who are ready to subtract themselves and all of their classmates and teachers from production. Introduction to Civil War is a molecule of a war machine.
The text was originally published in Tiqqun 2, a short-lived French journal of radical thought. Emerging out of the fervent struggles of the European anti-capitalist movement, Tiqqun located itself within a nexus of radical feminist thought, Foucault's studies on biopolitics, Italian Autonomia, situationist-inspired theory, and Benjaminian approaches to history. The editors intentionally practiced a desubectivizing operation of anonymity, and the texts themselves, a feminist/Deleuzian operation of multiplicity. Where there are many links between the journal's thought and the editors' participation in the struggles of the late '90s and early '00s, it would be difficult to claim Tiqqun as specifically "anarcho-autonomous," "ultra-left," or whatever else Sarkozy and Glenn Beck claim to be the ideological bogeyman behind the French editors, who are now being accused of this or that terrorist enterprise (see: Nov. 9 '09 Tarnac Arrests). Tiqqun was a journal that examined the exceptional situation of everyday concentration camps, and theorized from that point, highly influenced by Giorgio Agamben. Today, Tiqqun's contributions are becoming available to English speaking worlds, and their final concept "civil war" emerges as visible and viable.
Civil war: the continuation of communism by other means. History will decide whether or not civil war replaces Foucault's concept of contesting the meaning of the social (social war), but one thing is clear from Tiqqun's contributions: if the social has dissolved, and governance is now only techniques of managing its collapse, then civil war becomes the necessary condition of this existence. And if this is the case, then the last bit of poetry found at the end of Introduction to Civil War, "How is it to be Done?," may be accurate in exclaiming the only way for us, within this condition of global civil war, to touch on our humanity again will be in a collective negation, namely, an unlimited human strike.
Civil war presupposes the state. Even by advocates of the state's own admission, the state serves as a preventative measure. Tiqqun locates the elementary human unity not in the body, which quickly becomes subject, but in form-of-life (16). Since all thought is strategic (20) they begin here because the state is the consequence of a certain metaphysics that governs each form-of-life at play in the self—an attenuation of difference through subjectivity. Tiqqun proposes that another metaphysics, a negative one, can be made present, within which forms-of-life might be left to play. This free play of forms-of-life, this "principle of their coexistence" (32), is nothing other than the condition of civil war that the modern state was developed in order to suppress.
This logic reveals a hidden fact regarding the formation of the modern state. If forms-of-life take place through bodies, animating bodies with taste and inclinations to lose themselves and to pass into another's spheres, then the development of the state, the borders and executions it visited upon worlds, were also visited upon selves. When the state is the suppression of the self, civil war is not only inevitable but already omnipresent. From the absolutist state to the welfare state to the liberal state, the state serves as merely a parenthesis in civil war, first as an attempt to exclude bare life from a territory, then from a population, then from the singular body. From classical politics to biopolitics, the state sets out on a steady course of encountering its own impossibility. This steady course is civil war.
With and against Marx's dictum that the history of human societies is a history of class struggle; Tiqqun reads the history of forms-of-life as the history of civil war. The story of the state, namely "status," is the story of an attempt made to freeze this free play of forms-of-life. Again and again, it fails, and out of each successive failure develops a new form of governance and new techniques to suppress civil war. The present conditions of "Empire" are nothing more than an outgrowth of these failures. The modern state is nothing more than a complex set of governing and neutralizing apparatuses that continue the political suppression of civil war by other Clausewitzian means.
But what does sovereign power do that classical politics doesn't? Drawing on Hobbes and Schmitt, Tiqqun argues that the modern state is a theater of operations in which the intensity of ethical difference is neutralized and every image of difference is pulled to the center for a endless photo-op. Classical politics, through a holistic and despotic state, arranged an order of moral codes via absolute force in order to come to some higher meaning. Classical politics put religion and the sphere of ethics into the theater of the political by including kings as the living heirs to God and individuals as the loyal disciples of God's moral order. In contrast to the rituals of redemption offered through the bloody play of forces contesting territory under the reign of classical politics, sovereign power can point its population to nothing. The modern state is quite literally the management of life, devoid of transcendental authority. The modern state governs, but learns not to govern too much. Moreover, the modern state applies the classical maxim cuius regio, eius religio, and contends and defeats all opposing religions in order to continue as the hand of god on an earth without God.
The paradox of law, which is the founding thesis of the norm, is as follows: law is in force only in its imposition; law appears only in the act of law. If law is fungible or malleable, this is because it has no justification other than its logic. "It is my pleasure" says the modern sovereign. The norm develops from this essential lacuna of law, but things are as they are not simply because they are, but because of material practices, because of how they are. Norm as nomos emerges from specific means deployed through apparatuses of control.
Enter the reign of the economy. There could never be an economic subject without a political subject. Tiqqun reads Foucault's study of biopolitics not as a story of power outmaneuvered by the deployment counter-subjectivities, but instead as processes of subjectivization by a vast number of apparatuses. Such massive, overdetermined subjectivization mitigates vital and substantive opposition. Capitalism could not have spread across the globe without first the physical neutralization of hostile populations and practices—which is to say, the condition of war had to be neutralized, in order for "peace" to become the normal condition.
Through Tiqqun's matrix of civil war, we learn that the development of capitalism, primitive accumulation, and war are not mere periods of tragedy that human society had to endure as the necessary, teleological process of the modern state. Instead, they are the originary operations, the operations that are repeated in order to maintain the status of the so-called peace of citizen-subjects. The Hobbesian operation of exclusion/inclusion is looped on an endless repeat. With the advancements of liberal techniques of government, the operations no longer take the form of a visible exposition of disciplinary force aimed at beating a hostis out of a population, (viz., an external military affair). Rather, these neutralizing operations take form in self-managed policing (viz., an internal police). Foucault explains the process of how the "delinquent" was made into an enemy of society; Tiqqun clarifies that the criminal practices had to be excluded and named "anti-social" in order for there to ever be a formal workers' movement that could be associated with a public social (albeit, illegal) justice.
Introduction to Civil War exposes the modern uneasiness with "violence." Violence must be excluded not because it threatens to turn the earth into a pit of corpses (capital has no qualms with such a process), but because it threatens to break the imaginary boundaries of subjects, and release forms-of-life to their free play. Hobbes remains the originary political theorist, in that we can already see the beginnings of self-managed subjects through the threat of exclusion. What must be excluded from a living being in order to include it in the caring arms of the state (and thus give it political-subjectivity) is precisely what attaches it to worlds and what gives it the capacity to encounter others. The exclusion of bare life produces docile bodies. The forced retreat into the self typifying the modern subject must be understood not merely as the process which the western individual was founded, but specifically as the process that generated economic "man" whose stupid (literally: stupefied) concept of freedom ends where all else begins.
Thus, what Tiqqun calls "the black magic of the economy" is deployed at all levels to integrate all human life into "society" first as living beings (zoe) then to continue functioning as legal subjects (bios). But this process can never generate today's citizen-subject as a perfect artifice of legal behavior. On the contrary, by forcing the political-economy, the process makes society—the massive circulation of legal practices of freedom—indistinguishable from the state. Through the proliferation of the police, the dark memory of the state's violent origin exposes each terrified citizen to the paradox of its existence.
The liberal state and the welfare state, or liberal democratic and social democratic institutions, are not distinct modes of government but rather two poles of the modern state. Tiqqun argues that the management of a certain social definition of happiness was all it took for the liberal state to control its population (118). With police and with publicity, the liberal state could cynically keep order, but the police and publicity developed in a way that served and exceeded the institution of the nation-state. With the collapse of liberal and social hypothesis, the police and publicity were able to shed their institutional justification and become exposed as mere apparatuses of sovereign power. Through this collapse, this folding up of the liberal state, police and publicity gain a new important role; they are exalted as the super-institutional poles of Empire. Techniques of policing transform into Biopower and techniques of publicity transform into Spectacle. The state itself does not disappear just yet, but it is demoted, and Spectacle and Biopower begin the reign of Empire (118).
It is in the planned-environment of Empire that Tiqqun calls on us to take a partisan position: to intensify the play of forms-of-life beyond their attenuation; to loosen the nooses of subjectivity that Empire places around our necks (176). Civil war is where forms-of-life can freely play. An armed joy of bank expropriations, strikes, bombings, occupations, pirate radio stations, riots, and experimental forms-of-life (such as those in 1977 Italy) rises to a new metaphysical plane in the history of the citizen-subject. Civil war can never be routed. Each hyphen between a citizen-subject contains an intense flow of inclinations. What Tiqqun makes abundantly clear is that these intense inclinations are themselves the many protagonists of history. Civil war, not the state; the form-of-life not the subject, takes us, gives us meaning, and exposes us to a new plane of experience. The Imaginary Party—Tiqqun says "we," (174)—can be understood as the party for civil war. It is a fragmented plane of consistency where each practice that prefers not to conjure away forms-of-life calls home. Unlike other discourses that rely on a single revolutionary-subjectivity, Tiqqun's Imaginary Party is nothing but a multiplicity, but unlike Negriist dreams of global civil society, the Imaginary Party does not shy away from the global civil war.
Tiqqun's concept of communism by other means performs of a particularly interesting operation from this point. Moving beyond the false consciousness of the Left, Tiqqun concludes "There is no visible outside anymore […] Madness, crime or the hungry proletariat no longer inhabit a defined or recognized space, they no longer form a world unto themselves, their own ghetto with or without walls" (131). If there is no longer any pure outside but rather exteriority present at every inch of the biopolitical tissue, then the Imaginary Party is not a political party that contends for power, nor a class that wishes to overthrow another class, nor a multitude that sees its desire reflected back at it through its representations of power. The Imaginary Party is the party of the political only insofar that through its presence it exposes each citizen-subject to the intensity of what it means to act politically.
Despite Tiqqun's insistence on the need to reclaim violence (34), we learn this need is not in order to simply pose a greater technology of violence against their state's violence, but rather for each body to become at home with its capacity for force. So-called "terrorism" today exposes citizens of Empire to the conditions they have placed on forms-of-life. What Tiqqun advances in terms of civil war, is in actuality a perverse war-machine. The Imaginary Party is full of precisely the content you might imagine. In a queer gesture, Tiqqun explains that "Empire is not the enemy with which we have to contend, and other tendencies within the Imaginary Party are not, for us, so many hostis to be eliminated, the opposite is, in fact, the case" (182). This means that the capacity for force, that inaugurates an element of the Imaginary Party, is specifically a force directed inward. Through the release of forms-of-life to their free play, Empire's meaninglessness and its lack of substance are totally revealed. The warlike penchants of forms-of-life form a war-machine only insofar that these penchants conjugate "friends" and "enemies" whose ethical distinctions are far more intense then any banal promise of security that Empire can articulate.
Introduction to Civil War ends exactly where you might expect: at the question of "how?" Like Debord's Society of the Spectacle, Introduction to Civil War, is not (despite the Library of Congress) an essay of critical theory, but rather a text at home with Clausewitz and Blanqui. Although their insistence on Heidegger's "the they" and all this Schmittian talk of "friends and enemies" situates Tiqqun in a framework of armed struggle, the anonymous editors break free in their concluding piece. What Tiqqun theorizes and what Tiqqun strategizes operations within are two different disciplines. Perhaps this is one of the most difficult positions for Tiqqun to articulate: What it might mean to live communism, and what it might mean to spread anarchy? History (or perhaps the messiah if we go by Benjamin), will have the final say, but what is irreducible in Introduction to Civil War is the feeling of meaninglessness that is the alibi of daily reproduction and the fact that whatever new struggles are emerging do not fit into the normative nor formal leftist conception of revolution or revolutionary subjectivity. Perhaps forms-of-life will animate bodies and advance what the religious wars in Europe only dreamed of. Perhaps everything will be in common, especially our fragile bodies. Or perhaps Tiqqun has misread something of our times and the coming community will have no allegiance to flesh and sinew, nor even thought. Either way, whether it is through the phantom of terror itself gaining substance (Baudrillard) or the inauguration and multiplication of collectivities whose ethical tissue is robust and whose thought is strategic, Tiqqun concludes that the time of the now is decisive. Empire or civil war?
Liam Sionnach is a terrible "art" project gone awry. It was based in a misreading of Foucault, Deleuze, and Agamben, and in the miserable conditions of the US Service Industry. It attempted to reveal the vacancy of the author-function, but conceded to feminist critiques of anonymity. Ultimately Liam Sionnach misunderstood the meaning of "what matters who's speaking, someone said." Although The Institute for Experimental Freedom's Liam Sionnach project has been around since '05, it has been most successful at interrupting the intellectual development of contemporary US anarchist theory from '07 to the present. Liam Sionnach has written a few pamphlets, lectured at some Universities, and contributed to journals of contemporary radical theory. Currently, Liam is pushing toward the threshold between this form of life and another, and mourning the truancy of communism. www.politicsisnotabanana.com

For his leadership, inspiration and determination, the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI), state Sen. Marc Pacheco, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection David Cash and state legislators recently recognized Shina as the "Academic Champion of Toxics Use Reduction" at a Massachusetts State House ceremony in June.
"As part of the Consortium, companies were able to participate in a neutral and safe environment at the university, where competitors, suppliers and customers collaborated together, even if they battled against each other in the marketplace," said Shina at the awards ceremony.
Lead, used in solder paste and board surface component finishes, can cause acute and chronic health issues. The formation of the Consortium was driven by new European Union regulations that restrict lead used in electronics. The Consortium members banded together and contributed time, resources, materials and expertise to find safer solutions that worked.
Said Shina: "Most of the members of the Consortium and their supply chain met and exceeded these environmentally safe lead-free goals. We continued to work together to prove that lead-free products can be made in actual industrial and high-volume settings."
Experienced Students Move Into Industry
TURI funded the work of the Consortium for many years through the Academic Research program to address the needs of Massachusetts companies in the electronics industry. Students involved in the lead-free research have moved into careers in both industry and academia. For example:
"While we sometimes think of corporations as faceless structures, the representatives in the Consortium worked very hard and diligently to achieve the project goals. Most of them were contributing their own time and effort for success in the project. It has been a joy and a privilege to work with a fine group of professionals," said Shina.
The Consortium is continuing its work on finding lead-free nano solder.
Shina said: "The mission continues with a new batch of Massachusetts students learning new technologies and going on to excel in academia and industry. This is the generation that will continue to lead us into a safer world by protecting our health and safety for future generations, like my children and grandchildren."

Hello, everyone. I was an atheist until at the age of 27 I began to study the Bible in order to debunk it. I learned quickly that the Bible was grossly misrepresented by apostate Christendom's adoption of pagan teachings such as the immortal soul from Socrates, the trinity from Plato, the cross from Constantine, hell from Dante and Milton, Easter from Astarte, Christmas from the winter solstice celebrations, and most recently the Rapture from Darby.
Though I have never and will never be a part of organized religion, my beliefs are not entirely dissimilar to that of The Jehovah's Witnesses, due to the removal of the aforementioned pagan influence. I have studied briefly the history of the major world religions, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shintoism and Taoism and have published sacred and non-sacred texts from each of these online: The Dhammapada, Four Noble Truths, Paradise Lost, Divine Comedy, Analects Of Confucius, Bhagavad Gita, Qur'an, Pirqe Aboth, Nihongi, Kojiki, Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu.
Having been an atheist most of my life and given that nearly everyone I know is atheist, I think I understand and respect where most of you are coming from. I don't believe in "converting" anyone to anything, but I do think the atheist tends to be mislead when it comes to the Bible. Not that that matters much, except for that I do enjoy, given the opportunity, to correct them in thoughtful and polite discussion and debate.
I hope we can have some interesting conversations.

@ David Henson
The only thing this group is persistent about is evidence. You've been asked over and over and you don't have any. Your assertions do not count as fact and you've already been proven irrefutably wrong about your biblical interpretation starting in book 1.
You can cry all you like, lash out, spew lots of rhetoric persisting that your view is correct - but at the end of the day you'll still be asked for evidence.
I don't know what a deist is
"Doing this" for 2 decades, huh?
Lol, nice.
David: Google might help you find out what a deist is. Or a dictionary.
Maybe read Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason". (It's like 7 bucks)
I wonder how you studied so much yet were able to skip over Deism.
The term "mighty" can be seen as many, many things. Mightier than me. Mighty meaning strong, etc.. It's a bit of a cop out to say your that you define your god as mighty yet you fail to point out the qualities that makes this god mighty. Sorry, I can't accept "mighty" as a full answer.
So if I may ask you to expand on this a bit:
"So I wasn't sold on a concept of a god, though I learned early on that the word god doesn't mean much."
How would you describe god? I mean people have had Ideas of god that aren't supernatural. Is this the stance you take?
You say your beliefs aren't dissimilar from JW. Did you borrow form the JW? If so aren't you just as qualified to come to your own conclusion. Did your own conclusions happen to be somewhat inline with JW?
Surely Jehovah God must have some identifiable characteristics besides "mighty". I'm still trying to figure out what the point of your earlier story of the shit god was. If the word god only means a thing that the observer regards in his own mind as "mighty" and doesn't necessarily have any supernatural qualities, then that's definitely the first time I've heard such a definition, and it's silly to chastise us for not getting it. It's not hard to understand your definition, but it's sort of needlessly redefining a common word. If I claim a Unicorn wrote a book, am asked to define this unicorn, and I reply "unicorn doesn't mean much, just any one-horned animal, duh; why is that so hard for you nonbelievers to grasp?" then I've dodged the question a bit, haven't I? First of all, since when has unicorn ever been understood to be anything less than a magical horse with a horn? But more importantly, what is the specific Unicorn that wrote the book like?
So all we are asking for is how your personal concept of god, Jehovah, is similar to or different from the commonly understood definition of God: all-everything (knowing, loving, powerful, and so on), the creator of the universe, and the divine author of the Bible. Your one-of-a-kind definition of the word god as "mighty one" is sort of irrelevant.
Ok David I expected you to define Atheism as you did. Many uninformed Theists say the same thing that Atheism is the "denial in the existence of a god or gods".
IT IS NOT. Atheism is only a lack of belief in the existence of any gods. Calling it "nonsensical" is typical of the arrogance of many theists especially those of the JW hue.
I do not belief in your god's existence. HE/SHE/IT may exist. You have so far only given your subjective opinion that you belief in the god of the Bible. By "objective" I mean what evidence can you show me so that I to can believe in this god. You have none as far as I can tell. Do not bother telling me please that your Faith is enough. I am sick hearing that line. What EVIDENCE have you to help me see the veracity of you claim that your god exists. Show me that your belief is not "nonsensical" by giving me something "objective" to consider that does not have a verse number at the end of it.
I am not asking for proof of your god's existence. I am only asking for the smallest shred of verifiable evidence so your claim is not once again "nonsensical".
Why you are unable to describe your God to me because I am an Atheist is beyond me. At least I have heard a new line today so thanks for that one David.
Well jump in there to set me straight if for naught but fun, anytime, Blaine. I enjoy this stuff and appreciate everyone's contribution.
I am bursting with anticipation for some objective evidence. I am so excited that finally a Theist, a former Atheist even, can show me some evidence that I too can finally believe in this God and become immortal. It would round of the year nicely to finally have some evidence. Please don't tease me any longer. Show me what it is.
I can hardly contain myself as well. The suspense is killing me. Maybe he can "cherry pick/collect" the said evidence out of his firm belief- just as good as empirical, objective (what ever that word means) science.
I won't hold my breath.
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the
end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her,
he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to
foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the
slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her
as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries
her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail
to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may
leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave
dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for
a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own
property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)
Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God,
delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely
woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her
as wife, you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there,
she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captive's garb.
After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have
relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife.
However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her
freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she
was married to you under compulsion. (Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB)
Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. (Luke 14:25-26 NKJ)
Your Bible is disgusting. That's just a sample of the sickness that is in its pages. No one here is "misled" as to its contents except you. It's obvious to everyone here except you that this is primitive, desert scribblings. You think that it contains divinity. So funny! You want inspiration and morality? Dr. Seuss has an excellent collection. And there aren't wars being fought over them. Children aren't being killed for its contents. There are no extremists screaming, "THAT'S OUT OF CONTEXT!!!! YOU'RE MISREPRESENTING THE SUESS!!!! DIE, INFIDEL!" Seriously.
Evolution and social engineering caused morality. And inspiration and consciousness. And conscience. No god required. It's no surprise to us that the bible is so disgusting, and that there is no evidence for the existence of god. There is no god, and the bible was written by Bronze Age idiots with no science, humanities, or equality through democracy.
By suggesting that we are misled about the bible, you suggest that all of us haven't read its contents and only you have the truth. Bullshit, my friend. Most of us were believers at some point and did read/study the bible. Especially while deconverting from our faiths. Don't judge everyone here by your own standard.
Sorry but I can't help myself.
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination .... End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2
clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill
him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I
don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a
defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my
vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse
and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble
of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people
who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

OT: Failed TV Pilot Clip Show
August 16, 2004, 11:53:33 PM »
Did anyone else watch "The Best TV Shows That Never Were" on ABC Monday night? I missed the first 20 minutes, but the show was basically a clip show of various failed TV pilots from the 70 through the 90s, with corny smarmy narration over the clips explaining the shows and poking fun of them. TV executives feasting on the bad choices of their predecessors. It had a 2001 copyright, but I've never seen it before.
There were lots of awful, corny action and detective shows, plus clips of some bad sci fi and comic book inspired pilots. Although there were a few shows that sounded promising (the Star Trek spino-off "Assignment: Earth", the ST episode about Gary Seven), you see that some were just the wrong thing at the wrong time. Plus it fun to see ones that I actually remembered and lots where you found yourself saying, "I wish they could have MST3Ked that one". Good for lots of laughs.
Some of the notable ones:
"The Mighty Thor" - I remember the Hulk TV Movie that had Thor and Donald Blake, but never saw this one, looked pretty bad.
"DareDevil" - starred Rex Smith of "StreetHawk" fame. I saw this and actually liked it at the time. but it sure looks bad now.
"Generation X" - The cheap "New Mutants"-like TV movie featuring Emma Frost and Banshee and their team of mutant heroes in training. I saw this, and just hung my head in shame at the time.
"Samurai" - Joe Penny ("Riptide", "Jake and the Fatman") stars as a lawyer by day/crime fighter by night (where do they find the time?) who carries a katana (that he apparently never cuts anyone with and wears silly looking oriental robes and a headband (that can't hide a major receeding hairline). The fight choreography made the fights on "Star Trek" or "Batman" look like Jackie Chan flicks by comparison. Hell, it made "The Ninja/Master Ninja" with Lee Van Cleef and Timothy Van Patten look believable by comparison.
"Fuzzbucket" - a little boy bonds with a grubby looking "cute" creature that only he can see. Looks like an 'ET" ripoff. There were clips from a another one called "Wishman" where Linda Hamilton and the guy playing her husband go on the run with another "cute alien" to protect it from capture by the government. "The Fugitive" meets "ET". The alien looked like the fat cousin of the alien in "Mac and Me".
"Good Against Evil" - some guy and a priest fight against the devil's attempt to use his large corporate empire to take over the world and possess souls. there supposed to be lots of exorcisms performed on the show, kind of "the Exorcist" meets "Omen III". Why I wish it had gone forward was that the Devil was played by Richard Lynch!
"Gandy and Gabby" - a spinoff episode of 'The Rockford Files" starring Lou Gossett Jr. and Isaac Hayes as mismatched PIs. I remember this one, seemed quite promising actually.
"I-Man" - Scott Bakula as a guy who heals quickly after being exposed to "space gas" from a satellite that crashes to earth. But looked better than the other show featuring "Bakula" as a scientist who due to the usual "freak accident" while messing around in the lab gains cybernetic limbs and can turn into a cyborg crime fighter (basically his whole body is covered in a cheap and bulky armored suit with lots of flourescent bits.
"Chameleon" - the corny "sexpot/action babe with heightened senses and strength due to animal DNA" TV movie you've probably seen on Sci-Fi after it and its sequels aired on UPN.
and the best for last,
"The People" - produced by Francis Ford Coppola, it's about a school teacher who takes a job teaching in a remote village where there is a quirky country doctor (played by Bill Shatner!!!) and the townsfolk are strange Amish-like people with mystical powers, who may be aliens. Sounded like a lost episode of "The X-Files".
Goofy, fun special that gave me lots of fodder to look up on IMDB.

Yep, "Nick Derringer, PI". I loved the obvious stunt double during the scene when he was beating the guy up on the floor of the restaurant.
I got a couple of the descriptions wrong: In "Wishman" the creature is not an alien, it was grown in a lab. And on "I-Man" Bakula is exposed to the space gas while saving someone from a car crash, not that satellite mess I misremembered. Still funny as hell.
At least I finally got to see a few seconds of the infamous American pilot version of "Red Dwarf". Damn, that made the original (which I'm a casual fan of, I enjoy when I can see it, but it's never stuck with me the way say Monty Python has) look like Shakespeare.
Speaking of Python, I'd really like to see the show from Graham Chapman, "Jake's Journey". That actually looked good, just too odd for the time I guess.

I watched that show while thinking if these shows were so bad, how did some of the things on TV these days actually make it? They were bad, looked real bad, but I consider most TV shows that are on now pretty bad also.

I loved the program. I think that someone in Hollywood should take it as a personal challange to make one of these series today.
That being said, which one do you think could be reworked to have the best chance for success??

Which Red Dwarf pilot did they show, there were actually two. Was it the one with the male Cat or with Terry Farrell as Cat? Makes me wish I had watched all of it now.
And you thought Trek isn't cool.

...were taken from two Hulk movies (Trial of the Incredible Hulk and Return of the Incredible Hulk) that doubled as pilots for the other characters.

I have no idea which "Red Dwarf" pilot was shown (didn't even know there were two), the footage I saw had only scenes of "Lister" (Craig Bierko) and "Holly" (Jane Leeves), and footage of the exterior of the ship recycled from the original. This was about the time I found the show, I didn't even get this part on tape. I guess trying to explain "Cat" inside of a few seconds would have been rough.
The clip show was weird about showing too many characters in some scenes. They would digitally obscure the faces of some non-speaking characters in scenes. In a clip for a bad high concept spy show called "The Ultimate Imposter" they obscured the face of an actor even though his head partially blocked the actor in the frame who was speaking. I've seen this done on a few shows on E! (like the THS of "Welcome Back, Kotter" for all clips of Robert Hegyes). Could this be some odd issue about clearances, residuals, or SAG rules?
That show, "The Ultimate Imposter", sounded like a bad precursor of "The Pretender" with a touch of "Memento" circa 1979. Imagine a spy who loses his memory after he is captured by the enemy. When the good guys recover him, they find out they can upload data into his brain, programming him with info to become an expert in various fields, for new missions, up to "16 megabytes". IMDB says that what was programmed into his head disappeared in 48 hours.
What's weird is how much that "Just Desserts" pilot with Joel Grey sounded like the remake of "Fantasy Island" with Malcolm McDowell, where the humor was darker and Mr Roarke had a sinister side to him. I still like how they pointed out that the title was misspelled on screen.
I suppose "Jake's Journey" could be updated now, but without the writing of someone like Graham Chapman it probably wouldn't work. Humor and fantasy being hard to mix on screen. I'll have to check back about anything else being updated.
As corny as it looked, I'd like to see "The People" someday.

Oh, BTW, it was nice to have even more proof that Keanu Reeves has NEVER been able to act worth a damn, even for TV.

this was a fun show...
the THOR show looked interesting...an alcoholic THOR running around L.A.
i have a question, there was a pilot shown for a show called "red dwarf" about a man that awakes in a spaceship millions of miles from earth. his only company is a H.A.L./max headroom type monitor display of the annoying THE NANNY chick...
it looked incredibly cheaply done on video but anyway, i have heard that there was a show in the U.K. calld "red dwarf"....is it the same show????

mr. henry, check here.
Red Dwarf is one of my favorite shows.
Seven years on MacGyver and you cannot figure this out? We got belt buckles, shoe laces, and a piece of gum. Build a nuclear reactor for crying out loud. You used to be MacGyver, MacGadget, MacGimmick, and now you are now 'Mr. MacUseless'.

That was one of the best things I've seen in a while. especially Fuzzbucket and the one where the kid turns into the toy dragon robot thing.
But, look at small wonder or Knight Rider for pete's sake. I mean seriously, Knight Rider is as ludicrous as any of those shows

I never saw the American Red Dwarf attempt, but not long after I heard they were going to do it, "Homeboys from Outer Space" came out, and I was afraid that was it.
