To Drill or Not to Drill
by Steven R. Wills
It's history class after lunch, and you are just fading off to sleep. A large, fluffy hand reaches down and carries your history teacher away as she continues to describe the presidential election of 1868. Yes, you realize, this is a dream.
Suddenly you are behind the wheel of a massive SUV. You notice that you are running out of gas, and also notice a gas station just up ahead. You drive up to the pump, but find that a majestic Alaskan caribou is standing in your way. He's beautiful, but you need to fill up. It occurs to you that the only way you'll be able to get gas is to run him down.
The teacher shouts your name and you wake up, leaving a small puddle of drool on your desk.
Turns out your dream was also a metaphor—a visual symbol of the kinds of decisions lawmakers, oil companies, oil consumers, and environmental activists are facing today. "To drill or not to drill?" That is the question.
At the heart of the problem is America's hunger for oil. The United States is, by far, the largest consumer of oil in the world—using more than 7,000,000,000 (yep, that's billion) barrels of oil each year. We use it to heat our homes and businesses, and to manufacture plastics, tires, ink, and synthetic fabrics. And mostly, we use it to operate our cars, trucks, and other vehicles (almost five billion barrels each year).
Although we import most of our oil from other countries, we realize that dependence gives the oil-producing countries a certain power over us. We learned that lesson from the oil crisis of the 1970s, caused by a Middle East oil embargo by the OPEC (Oil Producing and Exporting Countries) organization.
However, large oil reserves have been found under the frozen tundra of Alaska, on land which, in 1960, was set aside to be protected as the Arctic National Wildlife Range (ANWR). When parts of ANWR were opened up to drilling in the 1980s, what followed was pollution, truck and drilling noise, chemical waste pits, and the 1989 disastrous oil spill from the Exxon Valdez.
Today, more oil reserves have been located on the ANWR, and sides are lining up to either support or oppose drilling for more oil. The opposing arguments sound like this:
- No Drilling!
- Haven't we learned our lesson? The ANWR is rich in wildlife. It is home to bears (grizzly and Kodiak—both endangered), wolves, foxes, musk oxen, millions of migratory birds, and caribou. The caribou are of particular concern, since they move over the very areas targeted for drilling in order to reach their traditional breeding grounds.
The environment will be altered for other reasons, as well. You can't just pull oil from the ground—you need drilling platforms, trucking roads, pipelines, and a constant supply of heavy equipment. When will we finally take a stand and say, "Remember the Exxon Valdez? Not again! This last piece of wilderness must be preserved!"
- Drill Away!
- We now have the ability to limit environmental damage. Trucking roads in the winter can be made of crushed ice, and supplies can be flown in by helicopter in the summer. Furthermore, high-tech drilling techniques mean that fewer drilling platforms need to be built. New pipelines can be elevated five feet off the ground so that wildlife can easily pass under. Also, the pipes will not be fitted with flat valves (which can fail and leak), but rather with loops that will limit the spill from any possible leak. Finally, all waste will be recycled.
- No Drilling!
- Ice roads solve some problems but create others, since they would require millions of gallons of precious fresh water—water that likely would come from the same sources that serve the plants of the tundra. Also, while high-tech devices help, they cannot eliminate accidents or potential disasters. Besides, who says that drilling companies will follow all of these high-tech guidelines?
- Drill Away!
- The new oil reserves are estimated to contain from 3.7 to 16 billion barrels of oil. That's anywhere from a six-month to two-year supply. Not only will that oil help curb our dependence on imports, but it will also generate big bucks for the local towns and people.
- No Drilling!
- Why not just increase the fuel efficiency of vehicles? A minor increase in auto and truck fuel efficiency would save more oil than would be found in the Alaskan reserves.
No doubt this is a tough call. Still, a decision must be made about whether to drill on the ANWR.
- Which side of this debate would you take? Do you think it is more important to increase the domestic oil supply? Or do you think it is more important to preserve the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge? Write a paragraph supporting why you would choose one side of this debate. Include at least four supporting statements for your opinion. Use the positioning statements in the article as a starting point, but be sure to include your own opinions.

For those making a RPG, I've made a free node-based conversation editor. You can download it from my site. There is also a zip file with the gui and scripts it was intended to work with - might be broken, might need "massaging".
The editor is node-based, drag-n-drop, pretty easy to use, and runs on Windows. Should work on Win7 or later, should work on x86 or x64 versions. The documentation is here.
It can save "work in progress" conversations - but at the moment it insists on all node connectors being hooked up before save or export. I'll have to change that because it occurs to me that it has tremendous annoyance potential.
It currently exports to TorqueScript only. I'm in the process of restructuring the plugin system so that more functionality is placed in the plugin - this should give plugin authors more power and flexibility.

Pictures of Sienna Miller Leaving a Performance of the Play Flare Path in London 2011-03-24 13:33:06
Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge Look Coupled-Up and Cozy on a Day Date
Sienna Miller strolled London with Tom Sturridge on Tuesday. The cute new couple have been getting close recently with coffee and pub dates, and they shared a few romantic gazes during their walk around town. Sienna went solo last night as she made another exit from the theater following a performance of her well-received play Flare Path. She shed the World-War-II-era garb she wears in the show and sported a cropped jacket and a tank top as she left, stopping to greet some fans on her way out. Sienna has been busy on stage and with Tom lately, but she found a way to combine her work responsibilities and time with her loved ones. Her mother, Jo, took a seat in the audience earlier this week, and Sienna also teamed up with her sister to show off their vintage Vogue-inspired collection for Twenty8Twelve.

Clive Sharp (46) has been sentenced to 37 years in prison for the rape and murder of County Offaly vet Catherine Gowing, in Wales.
Sharp tied Gowing up in her home, raped her, killed her and then dismembered her body, dumping her remains in various pools in North Wales. Her body was never discovered but some remains were found at two different locations. Her right hand and foot were found by police divers in a pond near Sealand while her torso, partially wrapped in plastic, was found near Chester
Gowing went missing in October 2012. Five days after her disappearance Sharp was arrested.
Speaking to the Irish Independent Maureen, Gowing's mother, said Sharp had "ruined" her family's lives and said they would "never be the same again."

The victim's sister Emma, and her husband Shay Maguire, were present at Mold Crown Court to hear the sentencing.
In a victim impact statement Emma said, "My sister was a vibrant, wonderful woman, who lived life fully, with love, compassion, fun, adventure and joy.
"Our lives will never be the same. That man has caused my family unimaginable pain, suffering and grief and the recurring nightmare of what he did to her before she died."
Judge John Griffith-Williams said, "This is a horrific, cold-hearted murder, carried out to gratify your perverted sexual desires.
"The proper inference must be she was subjected to various forms of sexual abuse. The likelihood was she was gagged to prevent her call for help. You are, on any view, a very serious danger to women."
Sharp had previous convictions for sexual offenses, dating back to 1982. He had been jailed twice for his offenses.
Just hours before he broke into Gowing's home he had left another woman tied to her bed as she had refused to take part in his fantasies.

Those words were inscribed by the founder and placed in the factory for all to see. The above video takes you on a quick and moving adventure of the company through the decades.
What can we take from this video? Mercedes-Benz has spared no expense in producing its latest premium sedan.

Faith and Finances: Today's Hutterites do More Than Farm to Stay Afloat
Aksamit, Nichole. "Faith and Finances: Today's Hutterites do More Than Farm to Stay Afloat." Forum, 17 November 1999, sec. A1 & A7.
The modest women of Spring Prairie Colony share a quiet moment in the early morning sun on a trailer behind a tractor headed for a cucumber field northwest of Hawley, Minnesota.
Spring Prairie Colony, Minn.
It's butchering day at this Hutterite colony northwest of Hawley, but there are no axes, no bloodied tree stumps, no chickens running around with their heads cut off.
Instead, two dozen women, half a dozen men, a handful of boys and a USDA meat inspector don rubber aprons and take their places as a system of moving metal hangers hauls the chickens into the butches shop.
A man in a hard hat slits the birds' throats with an electric knife as the hanging conveyers move toward a cauldron of boiling water. The chickens are scalded and dumped into a vat with rubber "fingers" that gyrate to remove the feathers.
A pneumatic clipper, run by on of the men (as almost all machines here are) makes a loud "sht-sht" sound as it snips off the birds' feet and wingtips.
The chickens tumble down a ramp where young women use paring knives and nimble fingers to pry loose the stubborn pinfeathers and any other the machines missed.
Another man lops off the birds' heads with a knife and hooks them on the moving hanger system that takes them through the gutting process.
The USDA inspector watches as the women turn the birds and pull out their insides.
"We butcher about once every five weeks," says Eva Wipf, a 27-year-old Hutterite. "It's not our favorite thing, but it's not so bad and it's over pretty quick."
For their own use, the Hutterites fill several 25-pound bags of cutup fryers - mostly the salvageable parts of birds that couldn't be sold whole at market because of broken legs, broken wings or other defects.
And about 1,320 whole fryers go to market in bags that read: "Prairie's Pride, Young Fryer, Spring Prairie Farm."
What used to take a whole day and the help of the whole colony now requires less than three hours and three dozen people.
It's a fully modernized, inspected processing plant that takes 1,400 chickens from barn to freezer in a matter of two hours and 45 minutes.
Blend of old and new
Although Hutterites at Spring Prairie retain a conservative Christian philosophy and lifestyle, they have kept pace with technology to stay afloat in the modern farm economy.
In an era of increasing taxes and decreasing commodity prices, they have had to diversity and modernize their farming operations to survive.
The colonists at Spring Prairie raise corn, barley, wheat, soybeans, sunflowers, canola and alfalfa on about 3,000 acres near the colony site. They use much of the corn as feed for the turkeys, chickens, hogs and cows they raise both for their own use and to sell. They are a supplier of turkeys for Jennie-O Foods, milk for Cass-Clay Creamery and pork for John Morrell.
In addition to the young fryers they process every five weeks, the colonists sell smoked chickens, ring bologna, bacon, turkey jerky, eggs, homemade jam, feather pillows and comforter and honey. They package Christmas gift baskets for area companies.
And they raise huge gardens of vegetables and fruits for canning, wine-making and fresh consumption by the brotherhood.
Beyond the farming operation, the colony operates Spring Prairie Printing, a bookbindery and print shop that prints Hutterite school curriculum materials, hymnals and history books - all in German.
The shop also does outside jobs like auction sale bills and restaurant menus, and it recovers used textbooks for area schools.
The colony also has its own feed mill and weigh station, maintenance shop, carpenter shop and an electric motor shop, which repairs alternators and small engines for the colony and outside patrons.
Big Enterprise, Little Profit
Taken together, these various enterprises might sound like a giant endeavor for 125 souls.
They are and they require a huge amount of hard work to pull off, says John Waldner Sr., the elder minister of this colony. But they are not huge moneymakers; they merely keep the colony afloat.
As the population of a Hutterite colony outgrows the colony site, the brotherhood looks for another piece of land where it can branch out. The ideal site is marginal farmland several miles from major roads.
With land prices and property taxes such as they are, finding and being able to purchase such land without going into debt is nearly impossible, Waldner says.
This year, Spring Prairie Colony took out a loan for a farm and roughly 3,000 acres in Wilkin County, near Barnesville, Minn., just south of the Clay County line.
Waldner says the colony isn't planning to branch out anytime soon. It's just that the land was appropriate for the colony's needs and available in a period of low interest rates. They are leasing the land to a farmer in the meantime to help pay their mortgage.
Farming, Waldner notes, is a business with a very small margin of profit and it's no easier for the colonies to do it than individual farmers. In fact, it may be more difficult for Hutterites.
"We are 31 families with about 3,000 acres," he says. "It takes good planning just to stay above water.
"I don't believe that we'll ever be without farming. But, of course, the Hutterites have had to diversify. There are colonies that have a bigger stake in manufacturing than in farming."
Waldner stresses that Hutterites don't live together for financial or economic reasons, but rather because of the teaching of the Bible.
"Our living together is solely because of the teaching of the testament," he says.
And he says they have diversified their economic activity only to ensure survival of their religious, communal way of life.
Every five weeks, the men and women of Spring Prairie Colony butcher and process 1,200 to 1,400 chickens.
A combine rumbles through a field of canola west of the colony.
Farming is only one source of income for the 125 people who live at Spring Praire Colony

Jaime Anderson wins first Olympic qualifier: Dew Tour Women's Slopestyle
Part Of The Five Stops To Sochi Series Presented by Mammoth
Breckenridge, Colorado was ground zero today as the battle to make the US Olympic Snowboard Team kicked off with the USSA-sanctioned 2013 Dew Tour womens slopestyle finals. Among the international field were US riders Jordie Karlinksi, Jessica Jenson, and Jamie Anderson who dropped in hoping to get one step closer to a qualifying for spot at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.
There was a lot on the line for the US women, but the event was also a glimpse at the other riders from around the globe looking land on the podium in Sochi. Gathered at the start tent were heavy hitters Enni Rukajarvi (Finland), Silje Norendal (Norway), Isabel Derungs (Switzterland), Aimee Fuller (England), and Sarka Pancochova (Czech Republic).
With the exception of the rainbow rail and battleship rail that looked like they were better suited for the skiers, the course build was solid. Women's slopestyle has been steadily progressing over the past few years and gone are the smaller women's takeoffs that used to cling to sides of the men's jumps. Now, as the level of women' riding has risen, the playing field has been leveled.
The weather always adds another element to the mix however, so with uphill winds gusting at the bottom of the course and deep shadows creeping over many of the features, the ladies strapped in for their two runs—with the highest counting—and made the most of it.
After a round of falls for most of the pack on the first run, by the second the ladies had pulled it together and scores leapfrogged as riders one-upped each other.
Jamie's winning run
In a do-or-die moment after falling on her first run Jamie Anderson put down a solid line including a back lip, Cab 720, frontside 360 shifty, and backside deep into the landing of the last jump.
Enni's second run
Silje's second run
Jamie Anderson now leads the US Olympic team slopestyle qualification standings with 1,000 points, followed by Jessika Jenson with 800 points, and Jordie Karlinski with 600 points.
1. Jamie Anderson (USA)
2. Enni Rukajarvi (Finland)
3. Silje Norendal (Norway)
4. Isabel Derungs (Switzerland)
5. Jessika Jenson (USA)
6. Jordie Karlinski (USA)
7. Amiee Fuller (England)
8. Sarka Pancochova (Czech Republic)

The goals, therefore, seek to ensure a proper capacity for the naval defense using forces poised to project power to successfully face the challenges in its areas of responsibility, be they by the sea, rivers, or lakes.
The operational elements of our navy and its supporting organization have identified the necessary strategic capacity and structure for efficient, suitable, and deterrent forces capable of operating under any conditions—from the boundlessness of the oceans, to the heights of the Andes lake settings, to the impregnable Amazon fluvial region.
It is within such a framework that we work for sovereignty, territorial-integrity surveillance, aquatic control, the exercise of the maritime authority, support of foreign policy, comprehensive defense research and development, and above all, the preservation of the values and the well-being of our main resource: the Peruvian sailor.
Our navy is strongly committed to working toward the common goal of cooperative security to face today's world threats and at the same time strengthening ongoing internal processes aimed at achieving short-, mid-, and long-term goals through creative solutions.

Former England striker Michael Owen has blamed mismanagement in his early days at Liverpool for the injuries that have blighted his career.
Writing on his website on Friday, the Stoke City player also said he would not have had so many fitness worries if he had joined Liverpool's rivals Manchester United at a younger age.
Owen, who signed for Stoke in September but has made only four substitute appearances for the Premier League club, is sidelined with a hamstring injury, a problem that has followed him throughout his career.
"It is my genuine opinion I have become injury prone due to overplaying at a young age," he explained. "In my case I certainly feel like I played too much too soon.
"The problem as a young player is you want to play every week and therefore it has to be the responsibility of the manager to take the decision to rest young players thereby giving them the best chance of a long and injury-free career."
Owen burst on the scene in 1997, scoring on his debut for Liverpool as a 17-year-old, and was soon an established England international after netting one of the goals of the tournament against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup.
Blessed with a remarkable turn of pace and a striker's eye for goal, Owen regularly topped the Premier League scoring charts. He said, however, that his speed also contributed to his injury woes.
Owen picked up his first serious hamstring injury in 1999 and spent the rest of his career battling to stay off the treatment table.
"When the time came to make my debut for Liverpool I was mentally ready," he added. "I hit the ground running and won the Premier League Golden Boot (as top scorer) in my first two seasons of first team football.
"Then, on a cold night in March 1999 at Elland Road (Leeds United's ground), my body made me pay for pushing it to the limit too often.
"My hamstring snapped in two and it was at that point that my ability to perform unimpeded was finished. It didn't have to be that way," said Owen.
"My rehabilitation was compromised due to our physio leaving the club that summer and not being replaced until the following season and with no regular medical care during such a critical time, a routine injury was destined to restrict me for the rest of my career."
Owen, who signed for Manchester United in 2009 after spells with Real Madrid and Newcastle United, said had he joined up with Old Trafford manager Alex Ferguson earlier in his career some of the injury problems could have been avoided.
"Only a couple of weeks ago I read with great interest an article that was written about me," he said.
"Alex had made some comments suggesting I would have been a better player had I been managed more effectively in the early part of my career. I have to agree with most of what he said except the usage of the word 'better'.
"In my opinion had I been managed differently I would have been at my best for longer as opposed to being a better player," said Owen.
"There is no doubt I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster. I am pretty confident I would have been at the height of my powers over a longer period of time too."
Owen, who won an FA Cup, two League Cups and a UEFA Cup at Liverpool, made 216 league appearances for the club and scored 118 goals.
He is the Premier League's sixth highest scorer with 149 goals. Owen is also England's fourth highest scorer, having netted 40 times in 89 appearances.

IDF Fall 2007: PCI Express 3.0, Intel's new Interconnect and Skulltrail
Pat Gelsinger Talks Enterprise
Pat Gelsinger is a very recognizable figure inside Intel and his keynote addresses are always good for a brief look into the future of the enterprise level markets and even enthusiast performance platforms. This year my main interest in his talk focused on some non-Intel developed technologies as well.
As a member of the PCI-SIG, Intel is one of the main contributors to the PCI Express development of the past several years and Gelsinger showed some of the specs behind the future PCIe 3.0 design; even though PCIe 2.0 is barely on the tip of the horizon already. Where PCIe 2.0 will double the bandwidth of the current PCIe 1.0 specifications, 3.0 will double it yet again while maintaining backward compatibility with PCIe 2.0 and even PCIe 1.0.
What's that hiding behind Pat on stage...it looks like a skull with an Intel logo in it...and quite few cores seem to be running in that Task Manager window back there too....
Another interesting bit of news that was revealed in Gelsinger's talk was the move to USB 3.0 and the features it will offer. How does a 10x performance increase sound over current USB 2.0 speeds? It is made possible by a cable that combines optical data as well as standard copper wire data transmission and will still be backwards compatible with USB 2.0 as well; presumably with a simple connection adaptor.
Staying with the high-level material, Gelsinger showed off this slide with the first bit of AMD comparison information for performance metrics. The main point here is that Intel is showing how their move to 45nm Penryn-based parts is going to improve their performance over current 65nm CPUs, but it is also interesting to note that even in the memory-intensive SPECfp benchmark where AMD usually excels, the 45nm Penryn passes it.
No, it's not a great picture, but this is the Skulltrail system on display at IDF. The system features dual 3.0 GHz Yorkfield processors on the Xeon-based Stoakley motherboard platform. This of course means it is using FB-DIMMs which is a bit of a let down, but we can deal with it for the performance the system is able to get. The CPUs are liquid cooled; a setup that Intel claims will be standard for all Skulltrail systems. The motherboard does have support for up to four PCIe slots and graphics cards though this one was only running two NVIDIA cards in SLI mode.
Yeah, SLI mode. See my news post here for more on that.
This slide was shown previously at the spring IDF in China, but it's worth looking at it again. It's the summary of feature improvements and architecture changes that will come with the release of the Nehalem core next year. Notables include the return of SMT (two threads for every core), dynamic core power management, an integrated memory controller, optional integrated graphics and more.
Here we can see the first time Intel has shown QuickPath, their answer to AMD's HyperTransport. I am curious though, as there was very little information on this interconnect, such as what kind of speeds and bandwidth we are talking about in this technology. But, just like HT, QuickPath will allow processors to communicate with each other without a front-side bus and increase the speed to which the CPUs communicate with the outside world of the system.
QuickPath is also apparently set up for multiple "drops" as AMD's Athlon 64 and Opteron processors are - the system diagram on the left shows a two CPU system with two QuickPath connections each while the quad-socket system has processors with four connections.
Ending the hurrah that is Nehalem for today, Intel showed working A0 silicon running not just Windows, but a very impressive looking graphics benchmark in the fore ground with lots of other things in going on behind. Notice the 16 threads running in Task Manager...yummy.
Of course Intel isn't going to stop after Nehalem and they already have plans for the "tick" of the Westmere core (a 32nm transition of the Nehalem architecture) and the "tock" of the Sandy Bridge core (a new 32nm architecture). Nothing was really mentioned about them of course, but you can expect details to emerge as me move down the roadmap into 2008 and 2009.

Ed Babinski Responds to Randal Rauser on "Biblical Cosmology"
Randal Rauser highlighted my name and chapter in The Christian Delusion in several posts on his blog at TheChristianPost.com. I will respond here.
In his last most post dated June 28, 2010, The Burden of the Critic he stated, "I'll simply provide a concise summary and partial restatement of my epistemological position and the problems with Babinski's chapter. . . .At the very least, it is the job of the critic to provide a coherent epistemology which avoids infinite regress and which offers plausible grounds to believe that 'The Bible is God's word' could not be among those beliefs which fit into (a) or (b). Sadly, people responding in this blog, not to mention Ed Babinski, do not even have that evidential burden on their radar screen." [emphasis Rauser]
My reply appears below:
Hi Randall, all I said in my article on "The Cosmology of the Bible," and in fact the ONLY substantial disagreement you seem to have with my chapter in The Christian Delusion is my statement [that I am paraphrasing below]:
"IF [emphasis added] there are any words of God in the Bible they appear to be delineated as such by humans who wrote the Bible and by humans who read it, and humans are also the ones who interpret such words, and who choose to focus on the importance of some sentences and delegate others as being of less importance, and attempt to harmonize still others."
I might add that no interpretation can be proven to be inerrant nor even necessarily inspired, so even if some humans claim a book is inerrant or inspired there remain different interpretations of such a statement--and different interpretations concerning what divine information the Bible is allegedly conveying--with disagreements stretching from Genesis to Revelation.
Let me add here the words of a Christian:
"The most zealous defenders of the verbal inspiration of the Bible admit that there are parts of it of less importance than others.This is a great admission, because another is involved in it, namely that we ourselves must be judges of the comparative importance of these different parts." - Thomas Erskine (Scottish Evangelical and also universalist)
Secondly, you claim that the idea of an infinite regress defeats skepticism. And you add that you believe that "believing in the Bible" [however you happen to interpret such as statement] is rational. You leave out the fact that deism is equally rational. So are the beliefs of modern day denominations of Jews who disagree concerning the Christian interpretations of their holy books. So, alternatives remain. Even if "skepticism" was defeated questions remains concerning the alleged Hebrew-Christian anthropomorphic God and the alleged divine inspiration of certain books. I'm merely reminding readers that it's not simply a question of either/or with no possible middle views and questions.
Speaking of skepticism, when was the last time you read an article on the state of skepticism in philosophy today? One happens to have been published recently in the American Philosophical Quarterly (Volume 47, Number 3, July 2010), "Skeptics without Borders" by Kevin Meeker and Ted Poston. The point out that many philosophers today take a humbler stance concerning epistemological claims, and admit they are "chastened knowers" with "fallibilistic knowledge," and that epistemic questions remain no matter what one's viewpoint. They discuss ". . . the powerful quarantine problem, which has plagued the search for exalted epistemic states at least since the time of Hume. More specifically, we contend that the quarantine problem shows that we lack certain and luminous knowledge because such exalted epistemic states would be qualitatively different than other such epistemic states. As such, if we were able to achieve such exalted states, then there would be a precise boundary that demarcates them from the nonexalted states. Alas, we could find no such borders, either in the responses to Williamson or in his appeal to necessary truths that appear in a simple tautological guise. This result does not, of course, demonstrate that we lack fallibilistic knowledge; but it does show that we have no reason to give in to the lingering epistemic temptation to postulate a realm of unveiled truths. To the extent that we have knowledge, it is deeply fallibilistic."
As for infinite regress, I don't see any need to posit such a thing even for non-supernaturalists. It's enough for a non-supernaturalist to posit that a cosmos of cosmoses exists that has always existed and will always exist. (See brane theory, and also read about multiple-cosmos theory, there is even mounting evidence that many galaxies lying in one discrete region of our own cosmos is being pulled in one direction in unison, perhaps being pulled by another space-time bubble lying outside our own.)
Final questions:
1) Is there some sort of supernatural thing holding the cosmos of cosmoses together, determining its every change and movement? A God? A unifying force of some sort? Who knows? We haven't even gotten off the cradle planet yet. Scientists continue to debate field theory, we haven't spied the tiniest particles or strings of energy, we can't even see to the end of THIS space-time bubble of a cosmos. In fact most of the cosmos remains invisible to us if at the very beginning a faster-than-light-speed expansion took place as theorized. So our telescopes are not even able to detect MOST OF THE COSMOS.
2) How does a believer in cosmic purpose address the occurrence of several mass extinction events in the past? Was the Designer shaking his etch-i-sketch? Was it an admission of wasted time spent on perfecting/evolving beings that would simply be wiped out en masse before humans even arose? What about the history of upright hominids, hominds that had larger brains than modern apes, that also went extinct?
Australopithecus africanus
Australopithecus garhi
Australopithecus sediba New
Australopithecus aethiopicus
Australopithecus robustus
Australopithecus boisei
Homo habilis [tool makers]
Homo georgicus
Homo erectus
Homo ergaster
Homo antecessor
Homo heidelbergensis
Homo neanderthalensis
Homo floresiensis
[google: human evolution talk origins archive for a discussion of each fossil species]
Today there's only
Homo sapiens sapiens
Astronomers even mention that during the time of the Australopithecines a relatively nearby star went nova lighting up the night sky for our early ancestors. If a star lying much nearer had gone nova, it probably would have been the end of our ancestors. Such a star has in fact been discovered, lying nearer, but it isn't expected to go nova for a million or more years, though all types of other catastrophic events could also happen to our lifeboat bobbing in space. The earth's orbital path remains cris-crossed by hundreds of cataloged meteors. The cosmos is not safe, neither is the earth's shifting crust. Yellowstone could become a super volcano. Geologists are keeping close tabs on it. There is evidence it has blown in the past. Complex life forms remain restricted to few planets, and live on their surface. Five miles up or down from that shifting surface, we perish. Comparing the earth's unsafe unpredictable place in the modern cosmos with Genesis 1 is part of what was mentioned in my chapter, "The Cosmology of the Bible."
There are many questions in my opinion.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - This year's New York Comic Con might not look that different from years past: costumed fans, panels of pop culture luminaries and a sprawling floor of vendors and artists.
But for the companies that attend this pop culture convention and others like it nationwide, there have been significant changes over the years.
The proliferation of such events, the explosion of social media and the overwhelming size of the gatherings are forcing companies to change their own approaches to meeting, engaging and hooking new and old fans.
From niche meetings for fans, comic cons have become sprawling affairs. New York Comic Con at the Javits Center expects to attract more than 120,000 fans to the four-day event that ends on Sunday, a steep rise from the first edition of the con, in 2006, which drew 33,000 people.
The event occupies a space equivalent to more than three football fields and includes a massive exhibitors floor. Last year's event featured everything from standards such as T-shirts and graphic novels to vampire teeth, corsets and even bed sheets.
"There's so much when you walk on that floor it's information overload," said Christopher "mink" Morrison, founder of Twistory Entertainment Studios, which produces film, magazines, graphic novels and videogames.
Faced with the need to cut through the increased noise at the events, Twistory set up two giant iPads rising 10 feet on which their artists can draw fans can play the company's new game, "Belle's War."
The so-called Padzillas engage the fans and pose questions, giving Twistory the chance to draw fans further in.
"I don't think in today's day and age you leave anything off the table if you are an entertainer," Morrison said.
Cons have grown in several ways. There are simply more of them now. In addition to the massive San Diego show, usually in July, and the New York show, there are cons for everything from horror to anime, everywhere from St. Louis to Salt Lake City.
It means companies have to choose carefully which to attend. Even a great con might not make the cut, said Jim Babcock, senior director of marketing at Adult Swim, a late-night programming block airing on Cartoon Network.
New York Comic Con is "a great place to meet with the hard-corest of our fans," Babcock said, noting that Adult Swim has also been going to San Diego Comic Con for at least 15 years.
A convention too near San Diego or New York in timing might not be viable because the company would not have time to put together another presentation so quickly, he said.
Timing also matters in other ways. If Adult Swim does not have anything new slated for the next quarter or so, the con probably will not be a fit, Babcock said.
One of the biggest changes, though, has been the rise of social media. Disclosures that were once exclusive to comic con fans now get spread around the world on Twitter in seconds. Videos of panels can pop up on YouTube before sessions are over.
But there are advantages, too. For Voltron, the robot cartoon classic of the mid-80s, social media have provided a new avenue to reach fans.
Jeremy Corray, Voltron's creative director, said crafting a personal experience for fans is essential.
One group of fans have role-played Voltron's main characters on Twitter - sort of like fan fiction, 140 characters at a time.
To reward those ardent fans, said Corray, "I am going to give them an as-yet-unproduced Voltron Force season 2 script and have members do a live reading at the panel followed by a live Tweet session where they act out the script."
Still, for all the change, some things remain constant. There is at least one classic strategy that Voltron - and plenty of other companies - will be trotting out, Corray notes.
"Two words: free prizes."

To think, it only took 14 years and a budding UK filmmaker named Jimmy Reay to get Axl Rose and Slash to appear in a video together.
Well, kinda. Reay and his friend Jamie DeBarge both donned costumes to appear as Gun N' Roses members past and present to appear in this video, to the new GN'R' song Chinese Democracy.
In doing so, they created what was deemed as the "craziest, most inappropriate air guitar" homage to Guns N' Roses, which won them the grand prize in a contest.
VIP treatment
As winners, the pair will be driven by limousine to the UK premiere public playback of the album and receive VIP treatment along with 100 friends.
Reay will also be presented with a disc to recognise him as the first person to own a copy of Chinese Democracy in the UK.
"The release of Chinese Democracy Air Guitar marks a historic moment in rock 'n' roll," said Jimmy Reay and Jamie DeBarge in a joint statement, "and we're launching it with a monumental video shot in London that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself. Guns N' Roses fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning."
You mean, there will be more videos from Reay and DeBarge? Well, hey, bring 'em on!

Brython modesI had prepped a presentation on Brython for a Python conference and didn't want that to go to waste, so now, dear reader, you get to see all kinds of exclusive material I had made for it. (Don't worry, I'll have plenty more material for PyCarolinas 2013).
The difference is that this is a blog, not a talk, so it will be a good bit more non linear. I'm starting tonight with something very hands on, one of Brython's mode of deployment.
The Brython interactive modeThe brython.js script itself is not included in this page, so it is a hosted interactive mode. We will simply include an iframe to load an interactive console directly from brython.info. This is still quite experimental, as it is found under the tests/ section. It is now using most of my iframe box (was fixed some days back). But it does work pretty well already.
This is basically a zero install, just add the following in your web page and you'll get a brython interactive session (Edited 3-26-2014 to point to new location):
Sorry... your browser doesn't support iframe. Time to upgrade or go to http://www.brython.info/console.html in a separate tab.
So you should see a console above (wont work trough news aggregators). At the >>> prompt, type:
x = input("yo")
Type the word me in the prompt dialog that will open. Make sure you type exactly that. So what do we have in x? Type the following:
me - Ok, that's all nice, but not very exciting. So it does behave like a console. What else can we do?
import webbrowser
So now we have loaded the module webbrowser from the brython standard library (we will come back to that in a future article). Yeah, I know, mind bending, since we are client side. Let's use the module. Type the following:
webbrowser.open("http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/internet_" + x*2)
Nice! All your base are belong to us, obviously. So, it does take a minute to get the brain wrapped around this concept, but once you do, the world's your oyster. You just have to:
doc <= "think"
Alright, enough geek puns, but it is a friday night afterall. So go and check it all out at http://brython.info . There is documentation in english, french, spanish and portuguese. Feel free to contribute your own translations in markdown format through bitbucket.
If you've been following my blog, you already know about the <= (left arrow) operator. If not, check it out here: http://raspberry-python.blogspot.com/2012/12/brython-browser-python.html
In the early days, brython didn't have a print() keyword. So I had cooked up a quick webprint() that used the <= operator. Of course, 8 months later, we no longer need webprint(). Print works like it should, with stdout. For the interactive mode, it is redirected. Look at the (python) code to see how you can do that by right clicking on the iframe and doing a view frame source (hint, lines 48 to 51).

WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University senior tennis players Alec Spycher (Sarasota, Fla./Saint Stephens Episcopal) and Kara Murphy (Worcester, Pa./Methacton) have been named the winners of the ITA Division II East Region Men's and Women's Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Awards, respectively.
The Arthur Ashe Award recognizes individuals throughout all NCAA Divisions at the regional and national level. The award is given to players, "who have exhibited outstanding sportsmanship and leadership as well as scholastic, extracurricular and tennis achievements." Both Spycher and Murphy are now eligible for the Division II National Arthur Ashe Award.
Spycher is the second player from the men's tennis team in three seasons to be the recipient of the East Region's Ashe Award, joining former teammate Lorenzo Cava. Murphy is the second straight player from the women's team to earn the East Region's Ashe Award, following Cheryl Martin. Both Cava and Martin went on to win the National Ashe Award.
"Alec has been an outstanding leader for the men's tennis team," said head coach Alex Wong. "He took leadership of a team that needed some peer guidance and was incredible in doing so. His teammates all respected him for his role as captain, as well as for being a great contributor to the team. For all those reasons, I'm incredibly proud that he has won the Ashe Award."
Wong continued, "I am extremely proud that Kara has been honored with the Ashe Award. Through her time here at Bentley, Kara has developed into an outstanding leader for the women's tennis team. In addition to her contributions to the team, she has been active in many community service initiatives, which is truly the essence of the Ashe Award. Her combination of academics, athletics and community service is unmatched, which is why she deserves this award."
On the court this season, Spycher, team captain, helped Bentley to a second-place finish in the NE-10 (10-1) and its fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance. He went 21-18 overall (11-8 singles, 10-10 doubles) and was named first team All-Northeast-10 in fifth-flight singles.
Murphy was co-captain of the women's team and compiled an overall record of 17-18 (8-8 singles, 9-10 doubles). She was the 2009 ITA East Region Rookie of the Year and a third team All-Conference selection in 2010.

I can't imagine what it would be like living in conditions like that. We complain bitterly when it drops below 10 degrees C (or even earlier).

It looks like a winter wonderland and definitely something to remember. :)

Oh my goodness, what a lot of snow. Never seen that before except for in Austria many years ago. There is always a lot of snow in the Alpes but not in this country.

oh gosh...much snow!
I'm really impressed.And, when it happens I think it's better stay inside home and the school should give a free day for the kids.
I should not allow my daughter to go to school with such a bad weather!
It's dangerous!
Take care okay!

Gee, all very foreign to me. I have never even seen snow falling from the sky. But it sure looks like hard work and kinda scary. Hope you don't have to go out too much and have a well-stocked pantry!

Oh, my gosh, that's really something. I have cousins in Mount Gretna, and I wondered why I hadn't heard from them... :)

Seen from here, this look like an apocalyptic thing of science-fiction! I find it beautyful, of course, but I can't imagine what it must be to live everyday with that!! Do you still go to work?
If yes, be careful!!
I wish you a lot of courage and patience! I guess this year, you'll be happy to see spring coming back!

Brrr! Great winter shots, James. I love how the purple jacket stands out against the snow.
We got 2 feet of snow in the past couple of days with more on the way. I've had enough winter!

James, great photo. I was trying to decide if this was of the wet heavy variety of snow, or big, light and fluffy.
It is kind of looking like the heavy wet stuff.
I think you all have gotten more snow than we have here in Minnesota, but I think we might have you beat on the colder temps. March is usually a big snow month here in Minnesota so I guess we will see how we do. I'm betting even with all the snow you are having that you will see your spring flowers popping their heads up through the soil a month or so before we do!
- February 25, 2010 at 10:19 AM
Oh yes! Beautiful. And I hear we are getting something like this between now and the next 36 hours. I hope I can match these photos come Saturday's post, James!!!

Oh man, these remind me of the last winters i spent in Pennsylvania! Great shots, James! I thought i had permanently escaped such scenes moving here. Scotland's been blitzed by snowstorms since before Christmas and we're in the middle of another blizzard as i type this. As of an hour ago, the Highlands were officially cut off from the rest of Scotland. Oh well, just more photos of snow! ;)

Oh my goodness, I couldn't imagine living in a place with snow - snow is quite foreign over here. And there's so much of it. How do people manage? All those cars are covered. I get the shivers just looking at them.
I hope you were able to keep warm.

Wow! I guess you got bombarded with snow! Here in Maine though we get this alot. Fortunately most ends up in the mountains here which are inland about 3 to 4 hours away from here. They can have it for the ski areas! This snow looks like the wet and heavy kind that brings down the phone and power lines. Today we are having heavy, heavy winds and lots of rain. The snow is almost gone now. Be careful of your back out there!

The snow is coming down, since about 5am. It has not yet started sticking on the sidewalk or parking lot, but it is accumulating on the previous snow that had not yet melted!

James, you are correct - the Carnelian Room was at the top of the Bank of America tower. A victim of the economic downturn, the Carnelian Room closed in 2009.

Oh my ... that's a LOT of snow!!! I can't imagine what it's like to experience such weather ... seriously! Yesterday a purple iris bloomed in my front yard and today a yellow crocus opened ... way too early.

That's a lot of snow fall, and what a storm! One of the worst winters ever!
Yes, you are right, a big contrast and opposite to our sunny weather here!
Stay warm.

Somehow that is a familiar sight and you have all my sympathy :-)
Since last Saturday we have got more than 50 cm on top of what we had from before. I now longer know where to put it, even though I have a snowblower.
Thank you for the comment. The photo is from last week, but I didn't try the bench.

I'm really looking forward to meeting you in October, I already told my husband about it. I wonder if you would give me your email adress. It would be easier to communicate about this?

Oh My James,
I think you are experiencing a record breaking year for snowfall in PA. How are you all bearing up?
These shots are so white and chilling. I can sense the muffled air, the scraping the stoic woman makes to get out in her car and the crunch crunch through the powder of the student's footsteps.
You will have had a great experience this year and in another month, all this will be behind you.
Snow scenes are my favorite and these show the quiet and stillness, but there are always a few intrepid souls...

Holy Cow! That's just nuts. Now I feel bad complaining about 3 lousy inches of snow. Niece keeps sending pictures of Philly, and I just can't get over it. A friend in Brooklyn just told me that they got another 19 inches. What a bizarre winter. Kathy

Dori's Raw Cranberry Relish (recipe below)
We don't go to alot of parties, but yesterday we had 2 in one day-- our neighborhood Christmas get-together, and our vegan dinner party group holiday meal. Both are potluck, so I made most of my contributions, or the components to them, on Saturday.
Herbed Mushroom Pate (UPDATE: recipe in my new book World Vegan Feast)
At 4 PM we went up the road apiece to our neighbors, Toby and Mikell, to meet and greet and eat with the neighbors in our little area of Denman Island. It's a diverse group of interesting people of all ages, incomes and backgrounds. Unfortunately, in order to finish off my dishes for the vegan dinner party, we only had an hour! Most of the nibblies there looked wonderful, but were not vegan. There were some lovely roasted nuts, olives, a spicy bowl of popcorn and some aromatic mulled (local) cider, which was plenty for us, since we had a feast to attend later! I brought my Herbed Mushroom Pate (recipe in my new book) because I got several requests for it after the last party I brought it to. ALL of the omnis loved it and I must admit that I take pleasure in watching the reactions when I tell them there's no meat involved! (I made an extra one for us to enjoy at home, too-- it makes a great snack on a rye crisp cracker, or a delicious sandwich. I usually make more than one at a time because it freezes well.)
We rushed home to turn on the oven and roll out the fat-free vegan brioche dough (rising in the refrigerator) for my Vegan Chikn Pot Pie, which is full of somewhat unusual veggies and a sherry-laced cream gravy-- I'd made the filling the day before and the gravy that morning. I popped those in the oven along with one of my seitan "hams" (made 2 of them on Thursday) and some pineapple chunks. I had made the "ham" gravy that morning, along with a delicious raw cranberry relish.
Vegan Chikn Pot Pie, just out of the oven above; leftovers below
My seitan "ham":
It was great to join with the four other couples in our vegan dinner group for great conversation, wine, and too much wonderful vegan food!
Starting the dinner with Fireweed's absolutely delicious Borscht, made with local (roasted) beets and potatoes! In the center of the table is Sarah's scrumptious Succotash Salad, which I neglected to get a separate photo of, darn it! It was soooo good-- full of lima beans, corn, arugula, zucchini and lots of other stuff.
Also un-photographed, I'm afraid, was our hostess's lovely roasted potatoes and glazed, grilled eggplant slices.
Ellen brought the dessert, which included some delicious Scandinavian almond brittle, again, un-photographed, as well as:
Homemade vegan truffles
Ellen's refreshing raw berry pudding with vegan ice cream and a truffle on top!
Here's the recipe for the raw cranberry relish I brought. It was given to me by Dori Harvey, a longtime subscriber of my now-defunct newsletter, an enthusiastic vegan cook, many years ago and we loved it! It was a hit at the dinner party, and I ate some for breakfast!

Oh...I want a vegan holiday party! I am surrounded by not only omnivores, but serious carnivores! Hoping to find the vegan "ham" recipe on your pages...or in one of your books?
Wild & Bright Blessings!
- Mon Dec 13, 11:27:00 AM PST
- Michael said...
Is the recipe for that "ham" in the new book as well? I've been hoping to find such a recipe for a while...
And, actually, any tips for making big blocks of seitan without them getting rubbery? I'm quite good at making small pieces and absolutely inept at larger ones for holidays!

Your vegan dinner group party looks delicious and beautiful and sounds like such fun! I wish I could reach in through my computer screen and sample everything (without anyone noticing!) :-) (And I hope Kim gets a vegan holiday party too!)
I'm an absolute fiend for cranberries and am always on the lookout for new cranberry sauce recipes, and I've already printed this one. It's so pretty and I just love the sound of it, with pineapple and fresh ginger! As soon as I can nab some organic oranges, I'm making this! Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh, and I'll be watching for your answer to Michael's question about making big batches of seitan without them turning out rubbery. I'll be making my first big batch soon and I've heard that's a common problem.
Thanks again for all your wonderful recipes and informative web site and blog! Happy holidays!
- Mon Dec 13, 11:44:00 AM PST
hello Bryanna, great blog, and killer food.
thankyou for sharing.
is the new book available?
i really want to make the herbed mushroom pate for christmas day.

That feast looks lovely.
It's so nice to see omnis enjoying vegan food.
Can't wait for the new book too. Looks promising!

- Amey said...
two parties in one day can be overwhelming, but it's also really fun. That pate looks incredible. Also, I love the dreamy shot of the whole table... it looks so warm and cozy and inviting!
By the way, I must be out of the loop... but what's the story on your next cookbook. Is this the seitan book I've been hearing whispers about?
- Mon Dec 13, 09:34:00 PM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Thanks for posting, All! To answer you questions: My new book on international vegan cooking will be out in August; The Field Roast book is on hold right now, but we hope to get it rolling again soon; and I'm working on my seitan book slowly between these projects. However, I hope to work on it more regularly in the new year. (The ham will be in the seitan book.)
- Tue Dec 14, 08:56:00 PM PST
- Dori said...
Still a fan, still a follower, just busied with job and classes. :-) Thanks for using my favorite cranberry recipe. Happy Holiday!
- Thu Dec 16, 05:04:00 AM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Thanks, Dori! Good to hear from you! I made a double batch of this and everyone-- including those who don't like cranberry sauce-- loved it! We've been eating for snacks and I just had some for breakfast. I'm going to add some to some coleslaw I made a couple of days ago!
- Thu Dec 16, 09:37:00 AM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Michael, I forgot to answer your question. The secret to non-rubbery seitan is slow-cooking (however you do it) and adding something else to the dough to cut down a bit on the gluten. Other flours, etc.
- Thu Dec 16, 09:39:00 AM PST
Looks splendid :-)
- Sat Dec 18, 10:02:00 AM PST

This all looks amazing!

The flu is caused by flu viruses. Flu viruses are divided into 3 types:
A flu virus is often passed from child to child through sneezing or coughing. The virus can also live for a short time on surfaces. This includes doorknobs, toys, pens or pencils, keyboards, phones and tablets, and countertops. It can also be passed through shared eating utensils and drinking. Your child can get a flu virus by touching something that was touched by an infected with person, and then touching his or her mouth, nose, or eyes.
People are most contagious with the flu 24 hours before symptoms start, continuing while symptoms are most active. The risk of infecting others usually stops around day 7 of the illness. Because the flu can be spread before symptoms start, it's easy to pick up a flu virus. This is true especially with children, who often touch many surfaces and then their mouth, nose, or eyes.
A child is more at risk for the flu if he or she:
Young children and children with certain underlying health conditions are at increased risk for a hospital stay or severe or complicated influenza infection.
The flu is a respiratory disease, but it can affect the whole body. A child can become suddenly ill with any or all of these symptoms:
In some cases, your child may also have symptoms such as:
Most children recover from the flu within a week. But they may still feel very tired for as long as 3 to 4 weeks.
It's important to note that a cold and the flu have different symptoms:
A cold is usually mild and often goes away after a few days. The flu can cause severe symptoms and lead to problems such as pneumonia and even death. The symptoms of the flu can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is. The goal of treatment is to help prevent or ease symptoms.
Treatment may include medicines such as:
Antibiotics aren't effective against viral infections, so they are not prescribed. Instead, treatment focuses on helping ease your child's symptoms until the illness passes.
Talk with your healthcare providers about the risks, benefits, and possible side effects of all medicines.
Also make sure your child:
The best way to prevent flu is to have the yearly flu vaccine. The flu vaccine is given as a shot (injection). A nasal spray is not recommended for the 2017-2018 flu season. The CDC says this is because the nasal spray did not seem to protect against the flu over the last several flu seasons.
Each year, a new flu vaccine is available before the start of the flu season. Talk with your healthcare provider if you have questions about how vaccines work and how well they prevent flu. The first time a child between the ages of 6 months and 8 years gets a flu vaccine, he or she will need a second flu vaccine one month later.
The vaccine is advised for all children 6 months and older. But for some children, it's more critical for them to get a flu shot. The flu shot should be given to any child who has any of these:
A flu shot should also be given to:
Some side effects of the vaccine can be like mild flu symptoms, but the vaccine does not cause the flu. Possible side effects of the flu vaccine include:
In addition to the flu vaccine, you can do other things to help reduce your child's risk of getting the flu. You can also:
And you can help prevent your child spreading the flu to others if you:
Call the healthcare provider if your child has:
