Along with the housing rehabilitation project managed by the Johnson C. Smith University Center for Applied Leadership, student interns implemented a Green Rehab program for the surrounding community. The program served as a case study for the University's Community Home Energy Initiative.
The students reviewed Green Rehab participant application materials and work orders for two projects and took pictures before and after the home renovations. They then researched information most valuable to homeowners and presented information on water and energy savings to three communities included in the Housing and Urban Development grant.
At the end of the summer, the interns provided JCSU with a draft outline on their involvement with homeowner energy education, a year's worth of data collected from the two Green Rehab participants and an outline for a Green Home Fair. The future deliverable for this initiative is a report on energy savings from the Green Rehab program, along with possible methods to measure GHG emission reductions.
Additionally, the Clean Energy Durham model will be evaluated as a potential tool for legacy schools to partner with or develop their own programs. Finally, students and JCSU will meet to determine the next steps for a homeowner's manual, plan a Green Housing Fair for homeowners and formulate a homeowner/neighborhood energy reduction challenge.

TGR's Higher Unplugged takes you behind the scenes of Jeremy Jones' two-year snowboarding film, HIGHER. Here are the first four episodes of the series:
In episode 1 of Jeremy Jones' Higher Unplugged, Jeremy explains how his approach to exploring and riding mountains has evolved. No longer is he seeking out the iconic peaks, but rather focuses on exploring the "blank spots on the map," making first descents in remote and uncharted zones. The Deeper, Further, Higher trilogy encapsulates Jeremy's life as a snowboarder and captures the essence of snowboarding and Jeremy's love for the mountains.
In episode 2 of Higher Unplugged, Jeremy Jones comes to Bryan Iguchi's hometown of Jackson, WY, which is also the birthplace of Jeremy's freestyle riding. Jeremy has always been set on further exploring the Tetons and conquering the Grand, but was unsuccessful in both DEEPER and FURTHER. More determined than ever, Jeremy Jones and Bryan Iguchi prep for the mission to ride the Otterbody of the Grand Teton. A massive storm rolls in further delaying the long time goal, but together, they make the best of it.
In Episode 3 of Higher Unplugged, Jeremy Jones and his fellow athletes travel to Snowbird Resort to refine their mountaineering and rescue skills at the International Pro Riders' Workshop presented by Teton Gravity Research and ICEdot. Started by TGR and former lead guide, Jim Conway, IPRW has emerged as an essential resource for these athletes. Each December, TGR's production crew, athletes, and guides spend a week learning and reviewing the skills necessary to safely navigate backcountry terrain and respond to emergencies that may arise within it. With a curriculum that includes rope and rescue skills, snow science, group dynamics, and wilderness first aid, the International Pro Riders' Workshop helps skiers and snowboarders push further into the backcountry—and safely return from it.
Jeremy Jones trusts his life to the contents of his backpack. On a recent trip to Alaska, he spent each day ascending mountains with over thirty pounds on his back. Avalanche gear, climbing equipment, cameras, food, and water are just some of the items contributing to this load. Yet as Jeremy reveals in this episode of "Higher Unplugged," each item is essential—as it may save his life or those of his travel partners.

I like to think that I'm like most other shoppers these days. Whether out for a new pair of boots or a gift, I'm always on the hunt for a good bargain.
In department stores, I tend to focus on the bright red signs that read "sale." You know the ones -- usually positioned atop sloppy and unorganized racks at the back of the store. Like many people, I don't feel comfortable enough to "shop for sport," especially when paying nearly $4 for a gallon of gas.
So not surprisingly, I found myself rubbing shoulders with other bargain seekers at the new 30,000-square-foot Goodwill Manasota store on North Tamiami Trail over the weekend. I had been itching to shop there since writing about it in mid-February.
The thrift store is packed with unique gems, from lightly used but trendy fitted blazers to wide-brimmed hats and boots. But what I found could go down as one of my best thrift store finds ever.
It sat on a shelf near several other used appliances: A sleek, black, full-sized wine cooler capable of holding 20-plus bottles, with adjustable temperature. Brand new at Best Buy or Home Depot, it could run $1,000 or more.
I plugged it in, and the motor kicked on.
Its price? $60. Score!
I'm Justine Griffin, the Herald-Tribune's retail reporter. Every Tuesday I will give you the latest news about shopping in Southwest Florida, from what's up with the planned Mall at University Town Center to the many locally owned boutiques and storefronts that dot Sarasota and Manatee counties.
A little about me: I moved to Sarasota in September, and I'm a Florida girl through-and-through: born in New Port Richey, just north of Tampa. I have lived -- and shopped -- all over the state, from outlet malls in Orlando and St. Augustine to upscale boutiques and oceanside malls in Fort Lauderdale.
You can also follow me on Twitter @SunBizGriffin and my daily blog (whatsinstore.heraldtribune.com), too, for more shopping news, along with stories in the Herald-Tribune.
And please, don't be shy: If you know have retail news to share or think you do, drop me an email at email@example.com.
Attack of the digital coupons
Speaking of saving, both Winn-Dixie and Publix have debuted digital coupon programs in Southwest Florida stores recently. Publix, which tested them in Ocala and Alabama, now accepts digital coupons at all its stores.
Winn-Dixie customers clip coupons online and use the chain's savings cards to redeem them, while Publix shoppers register online and redeem using their phone number.
Gordon Food Service opening in Sarasota
And speaking of grocery stores, Gordon Food Service, a grocery chain that caters mostly to restaurant suppliers, plans to open a store at 6307 S. Tamiami Trail, in Sarasota.
Like Costco and Sam's, it sells bulk foods and other items, but no membership is required.
Justine Griffin, the Herald-Tribune's retail and tourism reporter, can be reached at 361-4951 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

1990's Flyers
The first part of the decade was the worst in team history, as the Flyers missed the playoffs for a record five consecutive seasons, but during that time, they traded for Eric Lindros, who became the face of the franchise and helped turn the team into a winner again.
In the lockout-shortened 1995 season, the Flyers traded for John LeClair and put him on a line with Lindros and right wing Mikael Renberg. Dubbed the "Legion of Doom" they became the most prolific scoring line in hockey, guiding the Flyers to the 1995 Eastern Conference Finals. Lindros won the Hart Trophy as League MVP and the team, coached by Terry Murray, finally made it back to the Finals in 1997 for the seventh time in team history, only to lose to the Detroit Red Wings.
The Lindros Era fizzled out after that Finals appearance, but the team still was relevant, reaching the playoffs every season heading into the next decade.

Truth Journal
Message from Professor Robert Jastrow
(Board of Advisors)
Professor Robert Jastrow-Ph.D. (1948), from Columbia University; Chief of the Theoretical Division of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (1958-61) and Founder/Director of NASA 's Goddard Institute; Professor of Geophysics at Columbia University; Professor of Space Studies-Earth Sciences at Dartmouth College. Writings include: Astronomy: Fundamentals And Frontiers (Wiley, 1972); God And The Astronomers (Norton, 1978); The Enchanted Loom (Touchstone, 1983); Has been described by Paddy Chayevsky as "the greatest writer on science alive today."
Recent developments in astronomy have implications that may go beyond their contribution to science itself. In a nutshell, astronomers, studying the Universe through their telescopes, have been forced to the conclusion that the world began suddenly, in a moment of creation, as the product of unknown forces.
The first scientific indication of an abrupt beginning for the world appeared about fifty years ago. At that time American astronomers, studying the great clusters of stars called galaxies, stumbled on evidence that the entire Universe is blowing up before our eyes. According to their observations, all the galaxies in the Universe are moving away from us and from one another at very high speeds, and the most distant are receding at the extraordinary speed of hundreds of millions of miles an hour.
This discovery led directly to the picture of a sudden beginning for the Universe; for if we retrace the movements of the moving galaxies backward in time, we find that at an earlier time they must have been closer together than they are today; at a still earlier time, they must have been still closer together; and if we go back far enough in time, we find that at a certain critical moment in the past all the galaxies in the Universe were packed together into one dense mass at an enormous density, pressure and temperature. Reacting to this pressure, the dense, hot matter must have exploded with incredible violence. The instant of the explosion marked the birth of the Universe.
The seed of everything that has happened in the Universe was planted in that first instant; every star, every planet and every living creature in the Universe came into being as a result of events that were set in motion in the moment of the cosmic explosion. It was literally the moment of Creation.
From a philosophical point of view, this finding has traumatic implications for science. Scientists have always felt more comfortable with the idea of a Universe that has existed forever, because their thinking is permeated with the idea of Cause and Effect; they believe that every event that takes place in the world can be explained in a rational way as the consequence of some previous event. Einstein once said, "The scientist is possessed of a sense of infinite causation." If there is a religion in science, this statement can be regarded as its principal article of faith. But the latest astronomical results indicate that at some point in the past the chain of cause and effect terminated abruptly. An important event occurred-the origin of the world-for which there is no known cause or explanation within the realm of science. The Universe flashed into being, and we cannot find out what caused that to happen.
This is a distressing result for scientists because, in the scientist's view, given enough time and money, he must be able to find an explanation for the beginning of the Universe on his own terms-an explanation that fits into the framework of natural rather than supernatural forces.
So, the scientist asks himself, what cause led to the effect we call the Universe? And he proceeds to examine the conditions under which the world began. But then he sees that he is deprived-today, tomorrow, and very likely forever-of finding out the answer to this critical question.
Why is that? The answer has to do with the conditions that prevailed in the first moments of the Universe's existence. At that time it must have been compressed to an enormous-perhaps infinite-density, temperature and pressure. The shock of that moment must have destroyed every relic of an earlier, pre-creation Universe that could have yielded a clue to the cause of the great explosion. To find that cause, the scientist must reconstruct the chain of events that took place prior to the seeming moment of creation, and led to the appearance of our Universe as their end product. But just this, he cannot do. For all the evidence he might have examined to that end has been melted down and destroyed in the intense heat and pressure of the first moment. No clue remains to the nature of the forces-natural or supernatural that conspired to bring about the event we call the Big Bang.
This is a very surprising conclusion. Nothing in the history of science leads us to believe there should be a fundamental limit to the results of scientific inquiry. Science has had extraordinary success in piecing together the elements of a story of cosmic evolution that adds many details to the first pages of Genesis. The scientist has traced the history of the Universe back in time from the appearance of man to the lower animals, then across the threshold of life to a time when the earth did not exist, and then back farther still to a time when stars and galaxies had not yet formed and the heavens were dark. Now he goes farther back still, feeling he is close to success-the answer to the ultimate question of beginning-when suddenly the chain of cause and effect snaps. The birth of the Universe is an effect for which he cannot find the cause.
Some say still that if the astronomer cannot find that cause today, he will find it tomorrow, and we will read about it in the New York Times when Walter Sullivan gets around to reporting on it. But I think the circumstances of the Big Bang-the fiery holocaust that destroyed the record of the past-make that extremely unlikely.
This is why it seems to me and to others that the curtain drawn over the mystery of creation will never be raised by human efforts, at least in the foreseeable future. Although I am an agnostic, and not a believer, I still find much to ponder in the view expressed by the British astronomer E. A. Milne, who wrote, "We can make no propositions about the state of affairs [in the beginning]; in the Divine act of creation God is unobserved and unwitnessed."

Arts & Culture
Islamic Art at the MetBy Robyn Creswell
Last week, the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened its renovated and newly enlarged wing of Islamic art, now called Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia. The new space, which is gorgeous, is entirely redesigned. The galleries are now organized by theme and material as well as period. There is more figurative art—paintings, illuminated manuscripts, glazed pottery—and greater geographical breadth. Many of the pieces displayed in the old galleries are also here, newly contextualized. Others, never displayed, have been taken out of the museum's twelve-thousand-object collection. And some pieces were acquired over the past eight years, while the wing was closed to the public. Among the most seductive of these new objects is a zoomorphic dagger (pictured above) from sixteenth-century Deccan India. I recently took a tour of the galleries with curator Navina Haidar, who talked to me about some of its treasures, new and old. Read More

Sweet Tomato and Feta Tart (Gluten Free)
Last Saturday Michael and I attended a family reunion. I had very little time to prepare a dish and I needed to use what was on hand.
After opening the fridge, I found a huge tomato from the farmer's market, leftover feta cheese, and cream cheese.
The cream cheese inspired me to make the easy gluten free pie crust I posted yesterday, and the tomato reminded me of a tomato tart I saw online. I couldn't find a recipe for that particular tart... but I did remember my friend Betty telling me about a tomato pie she made for church social a few months ago.
Using those ideas I created this tomato tart. I am very pleased with the results!
It was so good I had to sneak two pieces just for myself at the family reunion. Afterwards, I had to go back to the road side farmer's market to buy 2 more fresh tomatoes so I could make this tart again for our Sunday evening meal. It is divine. It is so simple. It's also incredibly photogenic.
I hope you will enjoy this tart as much as I have! I'll only be able to make the tart summer through mid-fall until the local tomatoes stop producing.Which is actually quite a blessing. Seasonal meals are often more enjoyable and something to look forward too!
And for you folks keeping track... Michael really liked this tomato tart. He even had a second helping.
Sweet Tomato and Feta Tart
1 large (10") easy gluten free pie crust, pre-baked for 10 minutes
1 large fresh tomato, sliced
1/3 cup real mayonnaise (like Duke's, which is tart and has NO sugar)
1/2 cup feta or freshly grated parmesan cheese, reserve half
1/2 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese, reserve half
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning , reserve 1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon SPIKE garlic granules, or other garlic seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup gluten free bread crumbs
Pre-bake pie crust as directed in a tart pan. If you would like, you can also brush pre-baked pie crust with an egg white mixed with 1 tablespoon of water and return to oven for 5 minutes to brown (This will make the pie look more like a regular "gluten" pie crust). Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl mix together mayonnaise, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup feta or parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon italian seasoning, garlic seasoning, salt and pepper.
Spread mayonnaise mixture on cooled, prebaked pie crust. Layer tomato slices over mayonnaise mixture.
In another small bowl mix together remaining cheeses, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and gluten free bread crumbs. Sprinkle mixture evenly over sliced tomatoes.
Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes until cheeses have melted and tomatoes have heated through and roasted slightly.
Serve tart hot or cold. I actually preferred this tart on the cool side. Can be used as an appetizer or a light main dish with a green leaf salad!
8 comments:
When summer is over do not dispair. I have been making this tart for years and actualy starting making it when I got addicted to eating it at the Great Harvest Bread Company in Evansville,IN. Their tart was made with sun dried tomatoes and onions and I was unaware of my celiac and I ate it every day with a ceasar salad and a glass of tea. To say it was glorious is not enough to describe it. I have had to develop a gluten free version. I make a crust that is a combo of rice flour and potato flour and I add garlic and diced onion to the crust for added flavor. For the filling I layer sun dried tomatoes, carmelized onions, and a cream cheese mixture that includes cream cheese, eggs, italian seasonings, milk, and cooked chopped and drained spinach. I bake at 400 F for 35 minutes. This tart is something you can adapt for the summer or the fall. You can add to it and you can use different vegetables. The best part you throw it together and you have a quick meal that is delicious and elegant at the same time. TonyaReplyDelete

Who gave Controller John Chiang the right to determine whether the legislature has done its job on the state budget, anyway?
No one.
In the bedlam following "passage" by the legislature and an almost instant veto by Governor Jerry Brown, Chiang decided to be the official interpreter of Proposition 25, "The On Time Budget Act" passed by the voters last November.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
According to the new law, if legislators fail to pass a budget by June 15, they may not be paid until they fulfill their responsibility.
Fair enough, buy why is Chiang the authority?
The (wrong-headed) thinking is that since Chiang signs pay checks, he would interpret the intent associated with the proposition.
That's a leap beyond belief.
It's like saying since a DMV official grades your test, he or she should decide whether the test is fair.
Nowhere does the proposition state that the controller assumes responsibility for determining the budget's credibility.
One would think that others would be more likely to interpret new law to determine whether Chiang should sign the pay checks.
To begin with, why wouldn't the Attorney General interpret the law's meaning? After all, she is the state's chief law enforcement officer.
All this is important because of the question of whether the legislature has really done its job.
The budget was a sham, and everyone knew it, including the Democrats who were frustrated because of Republican obstructionism.
With the June 15th deadline upon them, Democrats put together a document that was unbalanced and filled with unrealistic assumptions about everything from looming court decisions to unlikely federal assistance for federal programs.
In order to meet a deadline lawmakers approved a budget approaching fraud.
Even so, why should the Controller decide that legislators shouldn't be paid?
Chiang says he merely did the math. But Proposition 25 was about passing a budget, not balancing it.
So, now what?
Expect legislators to sue Chiang for acting without authority, and expect a law suit on the Proposition's constitutionality, both of which stand excellent chances of prevailing.
Most of all, expect a long drawn-out effort by the legislature to resolve the budget issues.
If this sounds familiar, well, that's because it is.

Kenneth Tanaka, commonly known as Ken, is the former coach of the McKinley Titans. He is replaced by Shannon Beiste at the start of Season Two due to having a nervous breakdown. He is the former fiancé of Emma Pillsbury.
He appears throughout Season One and is briefly mentioned in Season Four.
He is portrayed by Patrick Gallagher.
Ken is seen in the teacher's lounge, where he complains about the disappearance of the coffee pot. He says hello to Emma and says she didn't show up for a mixer he asked her out to. He asks Emma out yet again, to a car show. She admits she has been making up excuses when he asks her out and that she doesn't want to go out with him. Ken gets frustrated and rubs spit on her car. He allows Will to talk to the football ball team about joining glee club. He is seen lecturing Finn about being in New Directions, confronting Will about stealing his quarter back, and using a shredder while glaring at Will and staring at Emma. He is also seen buying marijuana from Sandy. (Pilot)
Ken sees Emma and Will nearly kiss during Will's janitorial shift. Ken approaches Emma at lunch and tells her he saw what she did with Will, and that she should stop wasting her time pursuing a married man, and about how he thinks he would be suitable for her. She agrees to go out with him. (Showmance)Ken sits with Henri, Sandy, Will, and Howard Bamboo in the teacher's lounge. They celebrate Henri's birthday and complain about how miserable they think their lives are. They sing For He's a Jolly Good Fellow to Henri and realize they sound good singing together. Ken rehearses This Is How We Do It and kicks Sandy out of the group with them in Will's living room. They all suggest names for their newly founded a cappella group, including Ken, but settle on 'Acafellas'. Ken later performs Poison with the rest of Acafellas at a sports bar, in which he performs a short solo and background vocals. The Acafellas are happy about a good review of their performance in the newspaper, in which Ken's baritone is complimented. Ken has trouble when Will attempts to teach dance moves, and thinks Emma is breaking up with him when she tells him that Henri has quit the group. Ken is not pleased when Howard and Henri have quit. Puck requests to join Acafellas, and Ken lets him join, but threatens to punch Puck if he messes up his love life. Ken and the Acafellas later perform I Wanna Sex You Up. (Acafellas)
Ken screams at the football team's kicker and puts him in charge of hydration services. After Kurt's tryout, Ken declares him the new kicker and says that Kurt can wear a tutu at games for all he cares, as long as he performs well. Ken and Will try and help the team out, by having Kurt teach them a dance routine. Just before the football game that night, Ken rubs and blows on his whistle for good luck. He is frustrated during the game when the McKinley team makes mistakes, resulting in touchdowns for the opposing team. He pats Kurt comfortingly before Kurt has to kick, and is joyful when the team wins the game. (Preggers)
Ken is seen explaining a play to the football team. Ken walks into the office of Terri, the new school nurse, and expresses his concern that Emma may be in love with Will. Terri convinces him to propose to Emma. He is nervous, so Terri gives him decongestant. He proposes to Emma in the teachers lounge, and she tells him she'll answer later. The two meet in the lockers of the football team and discuss the matter. Emma accepts his proposal, but with a long list of conditions. (Vitamin D)
Ken and Emma ask Will for dance lessons and a mash-up for their wedding. When Will and Emma fall on top of each other when rehearsing for the wedding, Ken sees it and gets very mad. He makes the football players that are in the glee club to choose between glee club and football. Will tries to talk him out of it, but it doesn't work. Later, Finn talks Ken into allowing football players to be in the glee club as well. (Mash-Up)
Ken tells Will their wedding is on the following Saturday. (Ken set the wedding on that day to stop Emma from attending Sectionals). (Mattress)
Ken is furious when Emma tells him she is attending Sectionals. He then breaks up with her. (Sectionals)
Finn says he wishes he could be more like Ken who lost Emma but is doing fine, besides pulling a Jessica Simpson and gaining 40 pounds and not been showering ever since. (Hell-O)
In his final appearance, Ken confronts Will about his actions on cheating on Emma, since it has circled the whole school everyone knows. (Bad Reputation)
Ken is replaced by Shannon Beiste after Ken resigned due to suffering a nervous breakdown. (Audition)
In Artie's dream, it is revealed by Terri that if the Glee Club never existed then Ken and Emma would have gotten married and moved to Hawaii. (Glee, Actually)
After being upset that Will had turned her down, Shannon Beiste was shown that she had an online interest herself and that person was none other than Ken Tanaka. Will had set up an "eHarmony" type site on "eSymphony" and he responded to her. At this point, Ken is now a Drivers Ed instructor and living in Medford, Oregon. (Shooting Star)
Ken is seen in a photograph posted on Finn's bedroom wall - Ken is in a group picture of the Acafellas. (The Quarterback)
Despite his age, Ken is an obvious jock. Aggressive, loud, unkempt and a little dimwitted, he often seems to treat people around him like his players on the football team. Whenever he becomes passionate about something, he goes all in, and will push it until he succeeds or until his failure is so obvious and complete that he has no other choice than to let go. All this shows Ken to be a very emotional man (although he'll deny it), and often he lets his emotions run away with him.
As such, this can cause him a great number of problems regarding those he interacts with. For example, although Emma made it clear for a long time that she barely tolerated him, Ken continued to push her to date him, until at last she conceded more because she felt he was the best she could do, rather than because she had grown to like him. Unfortunately, despite Ken's attempt to be the best boyfriend/fiance Emma could ask for, even he could see she was in love with someone else, which resulted in him having a series of jealous outbursts.
Ken is also can be extremely immature in how he handles things. When he felt Will was actively trying to steal Emma from him, Ken took it out on the Football players who were associated with Glee, trying to force them into quitting Glee or get kicked off the team.
Despite his more undesirable traits, when Terri called him "kind and generous," Emma did not correct her.

- He lived at the YMCA before moving to Oregon.
- He owns only one pair of long pants.
- According to Emma, he has 74 flaws.
I'm a good man, Emma. I'll treat you right, put up with all your crazy. They can't fire me because I'm a minority, so I'll always be able to provide for you. You could do a lot worse, and in this town, you're not going to do much better. Okay, I'm done talking now.
Ken: Emma Pillsbury, this is not an engagement ring.
I want the Thong Song. I was something I can shake my money maker to.
Finn: Hey, Coach, can I talk to you about something?

The maxium fine would thus be 17 publishers x 10 books x $250,000 = $42,500,000.At the request of 17 publishing companies in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, including HarperCollins, Oxford University Press and Macmillan, a Munich judge on Monday granted injunctions against illegal posting or sharing of online book files by two websites. Library.nu is alleged to have posted links to hundreds of thousands of illegal PDF copies of books since December 2010, Ed McCoyd, an attorney for the Association of American Publishers, told The Huffington Post. The majority of these uploads allegedly went through the website iFile.it, he said.
The coordinated legal action came after seven months of private investigation and was led by a German publishing association, Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels, and the International Publishers Association.
The Munich court served Library.nu and iFile.it 17 separate injunctions, representing 10 book titles from each of the publishers. One of the injunctions, which The Huffington Post viewed in a translation from the original German, states that every Web link -- either on iFile.it or Library.nu -- leading to an illegal online copy of one of the named books would result in a fine of 250,000 euros or as much as six months in jail.-- from the Huffington Post, which gives more detail. See also The Verge, Indie Bookspot, etc.
It is particularly hypocritical that in their press release, the publishers' conglomerate cites as the first reason for their action, "the interest of the authors who depend on fair compensation for their work." Academic authors are routinely exploited by commercial publishers, who drive down royalties to single-figure percentages (normally only paid after the publishers have first recouped their own investment), and impose binding contracts on authors that deny them even the basic right to make a single photocopy of their own work, or to pass on their copyright to their legal heirs after death. Many academic publishers pay no royalties at all. If academic publishers wanted to offer authors "fair compensation for their work," they should look to their own practices first.
What has annoyed the publishers most, according to their own statement, is that library.nu earned an estimated ten million dollars in advertising revenue. The period over which this money was made is not mentioned, and one has to query the method by which this estimate was made. Nevertheless, if it is even partly true, it provides a stinging indictment of the publishers themselves, that they have not had the imagination or creativity to create a business model that could generate this kind of revenue and share it with their authors.
For example, a service like library.nu could be operated as an educational charity, with subscription revenue being shared between authors and charitable educational purposes like research and writing fellowships. The platform could be used to advertise hard-copy copies of the PDFs, at prices competing with technologies such as the Expresso Book Machine (1 cent per page). It is a long-established research finding that the distribution of electronic texts frequently boosts the sales of hard copy editions, especially if the advertising is done right (e.g., here, here, and Michael Hart's 1997 report "Electronic Monographs are Great Advertising").
- Anyone systematically archiving in-copyright publications needs to watch out!
- In the modern, networked world, the true price of a publication is the value to a person of a clean conscience.
In principle, all books, films and music are and will be available for free download, for anyone willing to break the law of copyright. But many people do not wish to live like that, and would willingly pay a reasonable price in order to have a clean conscience. THAT is the future market value of an electronic cultural asset, not a figure calculated on the basis of production costs, shareholder returns, or authors' royalties.

Fall is almost here. The weather's getting colder, the days are getting shorter, and the leaves on the trees are changing color. Pumpkin-flavored drinks are back and everyone is looking forward to a break in the humidity. Another thing that comes with fall? Hiring season. Much like back to school, hiring season requires proper preparation and organization. Follow these tips to focus your fall job search and start off on the right foot!
1. Identify your top three skills. Many companies list desired skills on their job posting. Take a look at your resume and think long and hard about what skills you possess. Identify your three most marketable skills so that you can sell them on your resume. If writing is your specialty, highlight your internships where writing was a main task. If you have training in computer science, make sure your resume reflects that. These skills are what make you desirable, and you should know your top three. Use your other skills as a way to fine-tune your resume.
2. Update your resume. Now is the time to take off those leadership roles you held in high school, and that summer job you worked for five straight summers if it doesn't apply to your current field. While those experiences helped you get internships in college, you really want to focus on your professional experience now. If you don't have any professional experience, highlight the things you did in college to hone your skills. Led a writing seminar? Put in on the resume. Taught math to high school students? Add that to your resume as well. What you want to avoid is padding your resume with experience like "lifeguard at local pool." Employers don't care if it's not relevant — they won't be swimming near you anytime soon.
3. Expand your network. Now is the time to volunteer with nonprofits, offer up your skills to local organizations, and join specialized groups and communities in your industry. Join new groups on LinkedIn, tune into Twitter chats, and "like" companies on Facebook who you'd be interested in working for. Use social media and personal connections to expand your network. The more you connect during your job search, the more likely your contacts will be to remember your name when an opening comes up.
4. Rank your top jobs and companies. Visit niche and regional job boards to find the best opportunities for you. Rank the jobs that you qualify for, and focus your energy on the top three to five. Fine-tune your resume and write a unique cover letter for each job. Follow up via email a week or so after applying. Keep track of all your applications and make sure to take all the necessary steps.
Additionally, use major job boards to find companies you might want to work for. Once you've found several in your area, rank them in terms of most ideal to least ideal. Follow their social media accounts and monitor their company website for openings. You can even contact the hiring manager with your resume and ask them to keep you in mind in case of an opening.
5. Don't give up! Job hunting can be discouraging, but the most important factor in your job search is your attitude. Keep positive by reminding yourself of all your achievements and stay busy. Get organized and stick to a schedule to help avoid lazy days in bed and missing important deadlines. Keep track of all your applications and make sure to monitor social media channels daily. Spend some time out in the fresh, crisp fall air and take the time to visit with family and friends. Remember, the right job for you is out there!
And so, with the changing leaves and the return of pumpkin spice lattes, comes the opening of hiring season. Use these tips to stay on top of your game and really narrow your job search. You'll be interviewing in no time!
How are you focusing your job search for the fall?

And now it's officially official.
Following up on reports that began surfacing Thursday night, Washington announced very late Friday morning that Chris Petersen has been hired as its new head football coach. Petersen will replace Steve Sarkisian, who left earlier in the week for the same position at USC.
An introductory press conference will be held Monday.
"On behalf of the University of Washington and the entire Husky Nation, I am proud to welcome Chris Petersen as our new head football coach," UW athletic director Scott Woodward said in a statement. "Coach Petersen's success and record are extraordinary, but even more impressive is the man himself. His integrity, work ethic and character make him an outstanding fit and leader of our student-athletes at UW. We are thrilled and proud to call Coach Petersen a Husky."
Boise State subsequently confirmed that Petersen will not coach in the Broncos' bowl game.
Petersen's move to the Pac-12 program ends a wildly successful run at Boise State. Petersen spent the past 13 seasons with the Broncos, including the last eight as head coach. During Petersen's tenure, the Broncos went 92-12 and appeared in two BCS bowl games. In the 16-year history of the BCS, Washington appeared in just one.
The Broncos won at least 10 games every season from 2006 to 2012 under Petersen, including unbeaten seasons in 2006 and 2008. Oddly enough, Petersen's move to the Huskies comes after Petersen posted what was easily his worst season in Boise at 8-4.
Petersen will reportedly become one of the highest-paid head coaches in the Pac-12, although contract details have yet to be released. In 2013, USC's Lane Kiffin ($2.59 million), Sarkisian ($2.57 million), Utah's Kyle Whittingham ($2.43 million), Colorado's Mike MacIntyre ($2.4 million), Cal's Sonny Dykes ( $2.39 million), Arizona State's Todd Graham and UCLA's Jim Mora ($2.3 million) and Washington State's Mike Leach ($2.25 million) all made more than $2 million. Stanford's David Shaw is also believed to be above that number, although the private institution is not compelled to reveal contract information, while Sarkisian, Mora and Leach are all in line for significant bumps in pay.
In his last season with the Broncos, Petersen made in excess of $2.1 million.
Interestingly, Boise State and Washington are scheduled to open the 2015 season. There's already talk that the Broncos could look to get out of the game, although there's reportedly a $2 million buyout for that contest.

Web content analysis startup Diffbot has launched a new beta API called "Page Classifier" that can reveal the page type and language behind any URL, the company announced today.
Diffbot's first APIs emphasized the scanning, parsing, and extracting of information from web pages. Developers could use these APIs to scan articles or homepages to pull the most meaningful content. Now it will expand its dev cred with Page Classifier, which could have a variety of uses.
The Page Classifier API is already being used by social bookmark app Springpad with the enhancement of links by showing additional content that relates to those links. Page Classifier can be tested out with a Google Chrome extension that analyzes Twitter updates and shows what sort of links are attached to each status, including photos, articles, and products.
"We're constantly surprised by how developers are using our APIs and how devs might take advantage of the Classifier," Diffbot CEO Mike Tung told VentureBeat via email. "Internally, we're already benefiting — our classification of a day in Twitter showed us images are most of what's being shared, so we've prioritized development of our Image API, which will be the next one we release."
Palo Alto, Calif.-based Diffbot was founded in 2008 and has raised $2 million in seed funding from investors including Brad Garlinghouse, Sky Dayton, Andy Bechtolsheim, Joi Ito, Maynard Webb, and Matrix Partners.
Diffbot has also made an infographic that shows off the data-mining potential of the new API with an analysis of Twitter links. Check it out below.

Why Him?
A dad forms a bitter rivalry with his daughter's young rich boyfriend.
ActorsStarring: James Franco, Bryan Cranston, Zoey Deutch, Megan Mullally, Griffin Gluck, Keegan-Michael Key, Kaley Cuoco, Cedric the Entertainer, Zack Pearlman, Jee Young Han, Grace Ly Ngo Hazelett, Sadie Kate Ngo Hazelett, Casey Wilson, Andrew Rannells, Adam DeVine, Tangie Ambrose, Steve Bannos, Steve Aoki, Richard Blais, Elon Musk, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, Chris A. Liscomb, Bob Stephenson, Mary Pat Gleason, Jacob Kemp
Bryan Cranston stars in this Meet the Parents meets the Pink Panther combo (helpfully explained for younger viewers). Although this movie has several flaws, unoriginal storyline, overlong, no real heart it still has plenty of humour and great comedy acting from a stellar cast. Bryan Cranston can do very little wrong in my eyes and he didn't disappoint as the buttoned up father (with a penchant for Kiss) protecting his daughter from the mega rich games developer. We know it's going to go all wrong before it goes all right and that's okay. I enjoyed the setting of the game designer's mansion, the crazy art, the weird bespoke food and most of all 'Justine'. Justine is the grown up, foul mouthed, all seeing (although she denies she can actually see) all hearing version of the Amazon Dot built into every ceiling in the house. I loved her and I want one!

Double Hung Replacement Windows
Bristol's patented Q-IV security locking system provides maximum safety levels without purchasing a costly security system. Windows that include a "Quattro IV Security System", are designed to deter residential forced entries/burglaries through properly locked windows and doors by increasing the difficulty level of entry.

Proper use of a Q-IV Security System should discourage attempts of forced entries/burglaries. Windows with Q-IV systems offer an exclusive 50-year security guarantee.
An additional ventilation lock with a steel concealed spring provides a sense of security while allowing ventilation into the room.
Note: Woodgrain options not available on hoppers, 600 series, circletops, eyebrows and other specialty shapes.

In last week's Hacker Challenge, we asked you to craft a DIY smartphone accessory. You sent us some great stuff, but the winning hack belongs to Matthew Dias.
Check out the description of Matthew's winning entry below and read about some of our other favorites.
Winner: Create a Dock With Just Your Box
Matthew Dias made a dock (see lead image) using just his phone's box. He slit the back for the cable (using the instruction pack for extra padding under the connector) and one in the middle of the packaging tray small enough for the connector to stay firmly wedged. We loved that Matthew used only pieces that any smartphone buyer already has at hand.
Honorable Mentions
We got a lot of great entries and we'd be remiss if we didn't share some of our favorites. Here are some of the entries that really impressed us.
Mount Your Phone in Your Car Using Magnets
Reader LMahesh used magnets to mount his phone to his dash. There are no buttons to press and no clamps to squeeze. All functions work as expected—compass, GPS, reception, and WiFi. Since his iPhone did not have sufficient metal in the rear panel, LMahesh used a custom replacement rear panel with metal elements. You could also use a case with metal elements.

Reader Paul Rea was frustrated with clunky, oversized universal car mounts, so he built one just for his phone—using LEGO Technic pieces and zip ties. His construction holds the mount securely in an empty slot under his stereo, providing a ready place to slide his phone. You can check out more details of his build in the PDF he provided.
Knit a Cozy For Your Smartphone
Reader Jacquie Howard knitted a great-looking cozy for her iPhone. When you look at it straight on, it appears to feature just red and black stripes. But when you hold it at an angle, a cleverly-hidden Apple Logo is revealed. She also left a small window so she could swipe to answer a call without removing the phone from the cozy.
A big thanks to everyone who took the time to send us entries! Be sure to check back every week for a new challenge.

I think teaching kids about a fictional character (at the very least, it seems to be unclear if he was a real person) is saying that the world never gave us real heroes, humanists, people of high moral values. People who have actually done something for the society, not only spoke some poetic stuff. Even now you can find an example of folks who are trying to bring peace, fight injustices etc. And they are not gods or anything, which makes their sacrifices even more valuable.
Making an example of another person is much more effective if your goal is to set the raw model. Other people have done that, means you can too.
The Jesus of the Bible is not the Jesus you are planning to teaching to your kids. There are far better places and far better reasons to hold the values you are describing outside religion of any sort. It the Bible really the best that can be done in the area of values and morality? Is Jesus really that profoundly wise and admirable a person that you focus on him. Why not Ghandi? I disagree that Jesus "ranks right up there" and the only thinks you know are from a biased account dedicated to crafting a Jesus you probably would not much like.
By accepting what you like in the narrative of Jesus and rejecting what you don't you are already using your reason and moral sense to verify and vet your morality, why bring Jesus into the picture?
The absolute BEST thing you can do for your kids is to model a life of peace, joy, wonder and love.
Talk is cheap and idealizing the dead is bullshit. If Jesus was a human being, then he dealt with the same issues that you do. Only rather than managing the difficulties of human existence as a rational adult, he took the easy route.... magic, invisible daddy.

New Hampshire honors vets for service
State marks solemn holiday with touching tributes
Thousands of people paused to honor our veterans Sunday across the state of New Hampshire.
It is Veterans Day, and from Manchester to North Country, vets from wars past were thanked for their service to our country.
One of the largest Veterans Day ceremonies was in Boscawen at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery.
Hundreds of people showed up to say "thank you" to the vets as well as the state's incumbent political leaders.
For Peter Newell, a Vietnam Veteran, this is a gift.
"It makes you feel good inside when people shake your hand and say thank you for your service," he said.
Newell said Sunday's public support of veterans is a stark contrast to when he first came home from serving two tours in Vietnam.
Russell Fabian is also a Vietnam vet.
For him serving our country was his job -- one he'd do all over again.
"I'm proud to be an American and love our country that much, that I'll do whatever I have to do to save it," Fabian said.
While many of these men and women put on a brave face, for Frederick Fabian, Jr., Veterans Day can be emotional.
The sights and sounds of war can't be wiped from his memory.
"I was fortunate. I came home with no shrapnel wounds. No bullets. But I suffer deeply inside," he told News 9.
It's clear the battle wounds are deep, which is why they were thanked, hugged and honored for their service and sacrifice on Sunday.
"We honor the people we served with and the people who are going ahead of us and the people who went behind us," Russell Fabian said.
Thousands of men and women who served our country are buried at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery.

It seems like a lot of the threads about individual officers and individual events eventually turn into discussion about which kingdom is better or more powerful or more legitimate, etc. You get the idea. So I created this thread as a place for that kind of general discussion. Think Wei is the best, and want the rest of us to see the light? Post it here.
This thread isn't meant to stir up wars between the supporters of different sides. I just want all of the general discussion to stay in one place (just like the individual game discussion threads in the Games forum).

Hello everyone,
Every week I go to an appointment where they put out The New Yorker in the waiting area, among other magazines like O and The Atlantic, and every week I pick up the latest New Yorker and glance through it. Of course I read the cartoons! – but I also look for the poetry. I admit some of it is not to my taste, but that's what poetry is about; it's not all to one's taste. A lot of it is not. But that's part of what poetry is. It is a very personal experience, it is reading lines or words or phrases that either pull you into a different landscape or atmosphere, or they do not.
For a long time earlier in my life I thought something was wrong with me, that I wasn't getting poetry correctly. If I encountered a poem I didn't understand, I thought I wasn't smart enough to puzzle it out. However, a few years back, during my MFA program in a master class on poetry, we had a session that changed my life. The professor asked us to read five poems she assigned in advance, and to bring in a list of those poems in order of favorite to least favorite. When we came into the classroom we brought our lists, and the professor made a big chart on the white board, with the names of the poems running down the left side, and our names across the top. In each column under our name she put the order of preference for each poem according to the list we brought in.
Guess what? Do you think that there was a consensus on which poems were "the best," and which were "the worst"? In other words, did our lists look similar when we put them on the white board?
As you've probably guessed, they did not. In fact, there was a wide variation among which poems were "the favorite," and which were "the least favorite." In fact, it was almost an even distribution among all the poems, of most- to least-favorite status. Poems that one person hated were the favorite of another. I was shocked. And I was relieved.
My takeaway was this: it's completely okay to like a poem just because you like it. It's also completely okay NOT to like a poem if you do not. This was a huge demonstration that understanding or preference for a particular poem is not a reflection of one's intelligence or how smart one is. It is just that – understanding or preference of a poem because of what the poem is to YOU, and what it evokes or suggests or reminds you of when you read it.
This is not to say we shouldn't try to understand poems that are hard at first try. I'm not suggesting all poems should be "easy." What I want to express is, like art, it's perfectly okay to enjoy a poem you like, and it's okay to pass on poems that don't appeal to you. What I look for in a poem, even if I don't enjoy it very much, is a sequence of words, or a phrase, that I have never seen before, or that strikes me as unusual, or that makes me think of something else creative.
I really liked a poem from a recent New Yorker, Brenda Shaughnessey's "Gift Planet." I like the start of it:
My six-year-old said, "I don't know time." She already knows it's unknowable. Let it be always a stranger she walks wide around.
Gosh, can you imagine that? Time is "unknowable." Let time be a stranger that her daughter gives a wide berth to, something not allowed to dominate, to dictate, to determine the course of your life. Fun!
Why do I love poets? Last week at my writing conference I had the chance to hear recent work from two poet-colleagues and friends who are poets. And once again I felt drawn to, and transported, by the loveliness of their work. Not that their poems were all about flowers or gardens or the sunrise, not at all. But their language, their phrasing, their word choices really spoke to me, and when I heard them read their work I felt uplifted. I know that's an overused word. I felt touched and connected and better than before I heard their work.
As you know, I like to start my daily routine writing exercise with a line from a Poem of the Day, and I have a very short piece I wrote using the first lines of a Robert Frost poem, "Fragmentary Blue" (what a great title, huh?). The opening of Frost's poem goes,
Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
I wrote this piece, "Blink," in recollection of my recent visit to Phoenix, Arizona, and on the heels of a lovely visit with poet-colleague and blogger-friend Luanne Castle.
Her eyes a fragmentary blue. She blinked, blinked, blinked again and the hills turned to valleys, the valleys to rivers, the rivers to lake beds. She blinked, blinked, blinked again and the stars fell to earth, the hills behind the mountains became the beyond. She blinked, blinked, blinked again and you could see eternity in the bowl of the desert, blue band along the rim of mountains, pink above, just as the sun rises over the turning earth, to the east, east, east, and every hopeful, ever the optimist, ever the punching declaiming sun to rule and to rune the desert earth. Petroglyphs sing the messages of the old ones. Here, here, here, the eyes blink and the earth sinks and the sun is evermore.
Take care and good writing,

Sourdough Bin Adventures (Episode 3) : Pitas
Pita bread is so delicious, I am surprised that I waited this long to attempt making them.
As mentioned in other articles I've posted, I keep sourdough in a bin in the fridge all week long, which I pinch from to make various things like loaves, pizza, tortillas, etc.. Well now I have a new use: PITAS!
(The sourdough I keep in the fridge is made from 100% freshly ground organic whole wheat, sourdough starter, water & salt--80% hydration.)
It was really quite easy to make them. I just took 150g of sourdough from my bin per pita (I actually weighed them). I formed them into a ball and let them acclimate for a couple hours. Started up the oven with 2 pizza stones in it (one above and one below) and preheated both stones to 550F.
I rolled them out to about 1/4" thick or a little less and cooked them one by one one the bottom stone. They magically poofed up into nice looking pitas!
They look delicious and I can't wait to try one tomorrow for lunch.

The purpose of the study was to explore rural high school learners' experience of mathematics anxiety in academic settings. Mathematics anxiety has been found to have an adverse effect on confidence, motivation and achievement. This quantitative study is exploratory and descriptive in nature. The participants were 403 learners doing mathematics in 18 rural schools in the Free State province of South Africa. Participants completed a 20-item questionnaire and 373 (92.5%) questionnaires were found to contain valid responses and were analysed by a professional statistician at the University of the Free State using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 17.0. The questionnaire was testedfor reliability using the Cronbach alpha coefficient and was found to have a reliability score of .841, indicating an acceptable reliability coefficient. Findings reveal that all learners sometimes, often, or always experience mathematics anxiety in academic settings. It is therefore important for teachers and authorities in education to observe its prevalence and to implement strategies toward the alleviation of the effects ofmathematics anxiety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
It is possible to use some USB hubs without a power supply, however, doing so may prevent the USB hub or certain high-power USB peripherals from operating. It is always recommended to use an included power supply with a USB hub when possible.
When a power adapter is not used on a hub that comes with a power adapter, power is drawn from the USB port on the computer and then divided between the ports on the hub. This reduces the power delivery to individual ports and high-powered USB peripherals, such as external hard drives, may not start.
On USB hubs that can use a power adapter, more power can be supplied to USB ports than what is possible with a single USB port.
If your USB peripherals require power adapters, they probably do not require power from the USB port and can be used on a USB hub without a power adapter. With USB peripherals that use power adapters, the USB ports on the hub are only used for data transfer and do not draw power from the hub.
USB peripherals that require low power (for example, keyboards and mice) can be used on hubs without a power adapter, in conjunction with other low-power USB peripherals. In this case, power is drawn from the computer's USB port, as described above.
USB-C is a type of USB connector that is capable of supporting the following:
- Data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, if you use USB 3.1.
- Bi-directional power delivery up to 100W, if both the USB host connection and the device support it.
- Alternate modes, which deliver different types of data at different speeds. For example, DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
If using Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C, the connection is capable of additional features. For example, Thunderbolt 3 is capable of 40Gbps of total bandwidth. For more information, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/thunderbolt-3-port-capabilities.
Not all USB-C ports or devices are capable of supporting all of the features listed above, or all of the features at the maximum capabilities. If you require a specific USB-C feature, your USB host connection, cables, and device must all support the feature that you require. For more information about whether your components support specific USB-C features, refer to the information provided by the manufacturers.
When you troubleshoot issues with a USB hub, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
USB A-to-B cable
Computer USB port
USB peripheral(s)
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the USB cable and USB peripheral(s) in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different USB cable, USB port, and USB peripheral in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the hub, make sure that you do the following:
If a power adapter is included, provide power to the USB hub.
Attach a USB peripheral. The USB hub will not appear in any hardware listings on your system, but USB devices do appear when they are connected.
Install the drivers for the USB peripheral.
Install the latest drivers for the USB controller and motherboard chipset.
Note: No drivers or software are required for the USB hub to work with your operating system. The USB hub works independently of software and works with any operating system.
When testing your USB peripherals, make sure that you do the following:
If required, attach external power.
Confirm that the peripheral works on a standard USB port.
If the USB peripheral(s) can be detected on a standard USB port and not on the hub, do the following:
Use a new USB A-to-B cable.
Test your setup using basic USB peripherals, such as a keyboard or mouse.
Test using another USB port.

You are the one that's missing the point.It isYOU who created your God as the the Three Os thus being the ULTIMATE in all things .....that's YOUR "strawman" .....which YOU by your creation deem to be PERFECTION.Unfortunately for you, by creating the "GOD" as being "perfection"......you then have to contradict your "PERFECTION"......because if EVERYTHING woulda been PERFECT then we, the HUMANITY, who created "GOD" would have a "PERFECT" LIFE .....which we don't......HENCE: the inherent paradox which is unresolvable no matter how much you babble about FREE WILL etc.Conclusion: The "GOD" of the Organized Religions of the World is an unresolvable paradox.No surprise that the GREATEST MINDS in the HISTORY of Mankind UNANIMOUSLY came to the same conclusion:It is IMPOSSIBLE to prove the existence or nonexistence of "GOD".Call the Chairmen of any reputable University in the World (and that even includes some of the Religious ones) and they will ALL confirm my statement above.I've said what there is to say on this subject.There isn't anything more.......as far as I'm concerned.
You completely forget that we are a fallen creation, and yes, He knew we would fail.As to proving the existence of God, of course you can't, if you can prove that something exists, you don't need faith to believe. That will not happen because faith will always be a part of salvation.
I think the fact that were here is proof enough God exists.There is no way in Hell we could have created life on our own, it required far more than an accident.In the face of all the evidence to the positive, people still want to deny the obvious.What empty souls they must have.
God supposedly created all of us. Supposedly God is Omniscient. When he created us God already KNEW the results of his creation before hand. Even if God supposedly gave us FREE WILL.......he already KNEW how each of us would turn out and what fate we had....So WTF did God, in creating these innocents (with free will) and the EVIL BUTTHOLE (with free will) also created by God......WHY DID GOD CREATE BOTH INNOCENTS AND THE PSYCHO (with free will) WHEN HE KNEW THE RESULTS BEFORE HAND ....EVEN IF THE PSYCHO HAD FREE WILL.....God KNEW what the Psycho would do ?!?
And, I'm not trying to prove God doesn't exist. I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIND A PLAUSIBLE REASON TO BELIEVE IN HIM !!!
My Mom used to say, when looking of one of her pretty hollyhocks, how could anyone deny that there is a God? One who could make something so lovely? I'm a gospel music pianist and I fully understand the words to the song, "Consider the Lillies". It takes the simpliest of things or examples to reveal His handiwork and presence. These things we so often dismiss as just something that has and will always be there. Me? I love music but I wonder about the intelligence that He has given to us as He will, to be capable to do and learn and build whatever we want. Why would we spend one minute doubting Him or trying to do things that weren't good and grasp things that are bad? Why think on evil? To be sure, you will pattern your life after whatever it is that you hold onto so why not look up to the author of your life and your salvation if you just believe He is there to guide you? He proves Himself to me over and over. Nothing I could ever do would mean anything to Him, or that my goodness could be explained by my actions. He is looking for the ones who will believe and accept His finished work and letting Him guide their lives. It ain't easy either. If you consider Him to be your friend, you have to talk to Him daily, have that conversation that is between real friends, telling Him your joys, heartaches, fears, cares of every sort.

Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, announced that the agency will conduct a Video Town Hall discussion on efficient land use from 2 to 2:45 p.m. EST on March 30.
Effective and efficient land use saves money, resources, energy, and commuting time. Land use is also a major factor affecting greenhouse gases. EPA's recent report on materials and land management found that 16 to 20 percent of U.S. GHG emissions are associated with land management policies.
Stanislaus said the agency wants to know what you think about EPA's land use policies. What role do you see EPA playing in land reuse? How can land cleanup contribute to effective reuse?
You can access the streaming video feed at www.epa.gov/oswer/videotownhall.htm. To submit questions, send e-mail to email@example.com before or during the meeting. The agency will select a representative sample of questions and answer as many as possible. You also can listen to the meeting toll-free by calling 1.877.220.5073, conference code 65269385. Questions will be accepted toward the end of the meeting.
