I am a Lecturer in the Philosophy, Religion and Theology Discipline Area at the UoN. My research in theology and continental philosophy of religion has led to projects on the theological meaning of "being" after Karl Barth and Martin Heidegger as well as the aporias of transcendence in Jürgen Habermas' theory of secular reason. Examples of my work can be found in journals such as Modern Theology, New Blackfriars and Political Theology, as well as the recent book, Protestant Metaphysics after Karl Barth and Martin Heidegger. I am Program Leader for the funded Religion in Political Life (RIPL) Research at the Humanities Research Institute. In terms of teaching, I am the Program Convenor for Theology (DipTh, BTh, GradCert, MTh), and teach courses in World Religions (RELI1010), Children of Abraham (RELI2050) and the New Visibility of Religion (RELI3060). I welcome Honours and PhD research applications on a range of topics related to the above. Further details on my work are available at http://timothywstanley.com

Religion in Political Thought
My research on religion in political thought was inspired by my association with the Centre for Religion and Political Culture at the University of Manchester. It now continues at the University of Newcastle, Australia, as Program Leader for the Faculty of Education and Arts Research funding on Religion in Political Life for 2012-13. Currently, religion and globalization seem to be working towards opposite ends. As Mark Juergensmeyer has noted in Religion and Global Civil Society, while religiously invoked terrorism fragments society, the Internet, cell phones and the media industry foster the formation of an increasingly global social fabric. However, religion is not a single faceted phenomenon. As much as there have been prophets of violence such as Osama bin Laden, there have been prophets of peace and reconciliation such as Bishop Desmond Tutu. My research addresses this ambivalence both through a more rigorous account of the political nature of religion itself, as well as the key religious ideas which inform western notions of secularism and the public sphere of civil society.
Theology of Codex Books
Recent transformations in information technology have increased interest in the long history of the bound codex book. At the same time, debates in philosophical theology continue about the nature of writing, most notably in the aftermath of Jacques Derrida's thought. This project brings these two concerns together in order to develop new understanding of the relationship between religion and media and the impact of the codex book upon Christian thought. Firstly, it introduces the question concerning written technology with reference to Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida's various appropriations of Plato's Phaedrus. Secondly, it comprehensively summarizes the theological influences upon early Christian codex book production of the second to fourth centuries of the common era. Thirdly, it advances a new theological account of writing informed by this long history of the Christian codex. Repeating Faith: A Theology of the Early Christian Codex Book, has been accepted for publication by Fortress Press and should be available in 2014
Protestant Metaphysics after Karl Barth and Martin Heidegger
What is the legacy of the Greek metaphysical tradition for Protestant Christianity? Two of the most influential twentieth century thinkers to answer this question are Karl Barth and Martin Heidegger. However, the relationship between their work remains ambiguous within contemporary scholarship. My research challenges both an oversimplified conflation of Barth and Heidegger's thought as well as the pretense that an (a)theist philosopher and dogmatic theologian have little to say to each other. The result of this juxtaposition is a clear articulation of two different ways of refiguring the historically problematic relationship between metaphysics and theology after the Protestant Reformation. Whereas Heidegger interpreted Luther in a way which ultimately led to a divorce between metaphysics and theology, Barth saw Luther as the progenitor of a non-foundationalist affirmation of the being of God. In either case the boundaries between theology and philosophy were radically reconfigured in ways which continue to dominate both disciplines to this day. This research was funded by the British Government's Universities UK Overseas Research Scholarship as well as the University of Manchester's internal funding.

Teaching expertise
I teach courses which investigate the nature and function of religious thought and how it impacts secular societies. My aim is to introduce key themes for each course, but also to foster habits of the mind such as curiosity, open-mindedness, empathy, and intellectual passion. It seems to me that these habits are imperative for life in our increasingly multi-religious societies.
All of my courses are available for students to take face to face in class, completely online, or a mix of both to suit their schedules. This is possible because course materials are available in the online Blackboard (readings beyond textbooks, bibliographies, assessment submission), and each week's face to face lecture is recorded as a Quicktime .MOV file which is then available for download from the UoN's lecture recording system Echo360.

Very nice bar code scanner. All you need is an accounting program that does up receipts for you and lets you track inventory. Just plug it into the your USB port, then point and click. It will fill in the numbers. I'd recommend the Wasp bar code maker if you also plan on having inventory that is made such as computers or stuff that doesn't have a bar code on it.

Angus King stirs the pot in MaineAugust 23,2012He may not be a career politician, but Angus King, the Maine independent who is the odds-on favorite to replace retiring Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe, is no slouch at political imagery.
The former governor compares the choice Maine voters face to one polar explorer Ernest Shackleton and two expedition members confronted near the end of their epic journey for help after their ship was crushed by Antarctic ice. As they tried to cross South Georgia island, the three found themselves high up on a snowy peak, without sleeping bags, as frigid night approached.
He knew that they were going to die if they stayed at the top, King says. And so, he recounts, Shackleton told his two companions to reach their arms around each other, and they slid, like tobogganers, down the steep slope. Although there could have been rocks, crevices, anything, King says, those risks paled before the peril of staying put.
As he sees it, his independent candidacy is the political equivalent of that risky slide to (relative) safety.
If we send down a Democrat or Republican and it could be Pericles, Socrates, and Thomas Jefferson in one person if they have that label on, there is zero chance that anything is going to change, King declares. What Im providing is a possibility 5 percent, 10 percent, 25 percent that I can act as some kind of catalyst that will begin a process of change.
But how? Sometimes by working informally inside the system, other times by speaking out publicly, says King, who adds that if possible, he wont be part of either partys caucus. Take our long-term fiscal problems. Privately, Democrats know we need significant budget cuts, he says, while many Republicans privately recognize that we also need new revenues.
If youve got a situation where everyone knows what has to happen, maybe one or two people who are willing to say, Cmon, guys, lets do this, might be able to break the logjam, he says. I might be able to play a role by being the guy who can say, Hey everybody, lets do what we know we gotta do for the country.
Skeptics find it hard to believe King hasnt made up his mind about which party he would support to lead the Senate. King, after all, backs gay marriage, supports Obamacare, and says he will vote for President Obama for re-election.
Still, the former governor insists he is genuinely undecided.
Im not being coy, he says. It will depend on what the circumstances are and what would make me most effective on behalf of Maine, and what I think is best for the country.
For example, because he believes abuse of the filibuster has helped make the Senate a dysfunctional place, one thing he might ask for in exchange for his support is a rule change to rein its use.
Mainers seem amenable to the idea of having a latter day Mr. Smith go to Washington. Top-tier Democrats and Republicans took a pass on the race, leaving King facing Democrat Cynthia Dill and Republican Charlie Summers, neither of whom is considered a particular threat.
Still, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Summers and targeted King with attack ads aimed at his gubernatorial record. These spots, however, were so cartoonish that theyre tantamount to political malpractice. (The Maine Chamber of Commerce, the Portland Regional Chamber, and several others quickly distanced themselves from the ads.) Mainers themselves remember King fondly, as a moderate, commonsensical, pro-business governor with the foresight to fight for funding to provide every seventh- and eighth-grader with (take-home) access to a laptop to help prepare them for the digital age.
Now, it would take real mettle and determination for an independent to emerge as a meaningful player, and not a quirky afterthought, in todays partisan, polarized Washington. King acknowledges his quest is an expedition into largely uncharted territory, before noting that he faced the same questions when he first ran for governor as an independent.
People said youre not going to be able to get anything done, he recalls. Most people in Maine would say I was a pretty effective governor. Effective enough to win re-election handily.
Theres no guarantee, of course, that success in Augusta would mean success in Washington. And yet, at a time when too many senators seem like Lilliputians, King, 68, would be a large personality, a confident, smart, personable figure unconstrained by higher ambitions, impatient with cant, and, like a true Mainer, unafraid to speak his mind.
All that would instantly make him one of the most interesting and promising figures in the U.S. Senate.

Te'o hoax: Stories, video and previously published content
Analysis: Dr. Phil attempts to unravel Tuiasosopo's role in Te'o saga
Of course it ended in a cliffhanger -- and also raised more questions than it put to bed. /span>
Dr. Phil says Tuiasosopo fell in love with Te'o
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man who has admitted being the mastermind of the Manti Te'o fake girlfriend hoax, was in love with the former Notre Dame linebacker, according to talk-show host Dr. Phil McGraw. /span>
UPDATE: Notre Dame football: Advancing the Te'o saga
SOUTH BEND -- Maybe it's the beginning of the end of the national referendum, where seemingly every aspect of former Notre Dame All-America football player Manti Te'o's life -- his integrity, his legacy, even his sexual orientation -- is put to a vote daily, like it's American Idol. /span>
Manti Te'o tells Couric he briefly lied
NEW YORK (AP) — Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o has told Katie Couric that he briefly lied about his online girlfriend after discovering she didn't exist, while maintaining that he had no part in creating the hoax. /span>

By now, everyone in America has presumably learned a few valuable lessons from the Manti Te'o scam. /span>

Fundraiser 'shell-shocked' by Te'o girlfriend hoax
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A University of Notre Dame graduate who launched a campaign to raise money for a cancer research group in memory of linebacker Manti Te'o's girlfriend says he is "shell-shocked" to learn the woman didn't exist. Dan Tudesco, a 2006 graduate who now works in public relations in New York, set up an online account at fundraising website indiegogo.com on Jan. 9 to solicit $5,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc. The initial pitch said donations would go to the society in memory of Lennay Kekua, who reportedly died last fall, and in honor of Te'o, "two individuals who have been an inspiration to us through an iconic season." /span>

First time being introduced to the gory versions of the likes of Little Red Riding Hood. Lesson learned, make sure there is a buddy system for when traveling the woods, make sure you are well protected and don't allow youreself to be swayed from the path by smooth talking strangers, and for goodness sake, listen to your elders!!! Either that or shame on the parent(s) for allowing such a young child to go off on her own ESPECIALLY if you know of the dangers that lurk in the woods. Even still! I can't imagine the parent would be that idiotic to allow such a young child off on her own.
In any regard, the main elements in all of the stories I've read (Little Red-Cap, Little Red Riding-Hood, and The Company of Wolves) included the following:
- Red Hood/Cap
- Woods
- Wolf
- Grandma
- Goodies for Grandma
- Being tricked by the wolf
- Message or warning
In all stories, let's face it, they all involve Red being eaten one way or another. In one story, she survives (thank you Mr. Huntsman!), and in another, she perishes along with poor old granny. In either regard, she learns a lesson in each making her way into womanhood (as it were).

We couldn't believe our eyes when Xtina rose from the stage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards today looking, well, like she did 10 years ago.
Debuting her svelte new figure in a cute little black dress, Xtina delivered a classic awards ceremony "wow" moment watch it unfold above!
The 32-year-old diva performed her hit with Pitbull, 'Feel This Moment', featuring a surprise appearance from the hit-maker who they sample, '80s A-Ha frontman Morten Harket.
A source close to Christina recently told People magazine that she's "exploring new methods of exercise" with various personal trainers.
Last September, Christina spoke of embracing her new curves.
"The challenge I've always had is being too thin," she told Lucky magazine. "So I love that now I have a booty and obviously I love showing my cleavage."
"If you can work it and you can own it, that confidence is going to shine through."
Xtina is set to return for the fifth season of The Voice in the US after letting Shakira warm her seat on season four.
Last week, Christina gave us a glimpse of her new bod on the set of her new music video. Check it out:

Woah! One Direction have a busy 2014 ahead of them. Yep, the boy band announced early dates for their Where We Are stadium tour. SCREAM!
Making the announcement at London's Wembley Staudium, the guys hinted that they're making some changes on their next album.
"[We] had the chance to work with a lot of great writers and stuff, but we just made it a bit more edgier," Liam Payne explained about the release, their follow-up to 2012's "Take Me Home". "Just subtle changes here and there so it kind of grows as we grow."
Once they drop their album, the guys will kick off the tour on April 25 in Colombia. So far, the band has announced a handful of dates for South America, the U.K. and Ireland.
Will they be coming to Aus? TheFIX will be shocked if they don't!

Weightless: A Recording Session with Jakob Bro
49 minutes / Ages 13+ / 2009 / Denmark / Average:
Arts / Documentaries / Foreign
A captivating attempt to capture the poetry of a very unique recording session with Danish Jazz Guitarist Jakob Bro.
In New York's legendary Avatar Studios the young Danish guitarist Jakob Bro has gathered some of the most renowned contemporary jazz musicians, including Lee Konitz, Paul Motian and Bill Frisell. They have two days to create an album – two days to turn Jakob's compositions into a genuine musical experience. Jakob's songs are all new compositions that have never been played, but somehow the musicians manage to find into the fragile and dreamlike nature of the songs in just one or two takes. Together they create a telepathic connection that gives room to each individual and creates a common sound. It is a certain way of being together.

Giants wrap up 16th summer at UAlbany
ALBANY — The bad weather was looming on Tuesday afternoon.
While the University at Albany and the New York Giants dodged any inclement weather, the forecast for the future remains uncertain.
The Giants finished up training camp, packed up and headed south, on Tuesday evening, leaving the Capital District behind.
The hope, though, is that UAlbany isn't left in the rear-view mirror for good.
The Giants have said they will make a decision on where training camp will be held in the fall and nothing came into focus on Tuesday about their future relationship with UAlbany.
"I don't have any comment about next year," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin.
The Giants have spent 16 summers preparing for the upcoming season at UAlbany. Last season, they didn't come north because of the late resolution of the lockout.
"We've done it both ways," Coughlin said. "I can comment on the pluses and minuses for either way. Last summer, we were home and it didn't turn out too bad."
Asked point blank if UAlbany's facilities were up to the Giants approval, he said yes, "except when it rains."
Practice was only affected by bad weather once this summer. On Wednesday, Aug. 1, thunder forced the Giants to finish practice in the SEFCU Arena. With the new Collective Bargaining Agreement only allowing for one practice per day, having a practice shortened or canceled is something that Coughlin finds unacceptable. Continued...
There is talk about improving on or creating an indoor facility at UAlbany, which would eliminate that issue altogether.
The school has so far done all it can to make sure that training camp is as comfortable for the players as possible.
"The University does a great job of putting us up and a good job of making camp bearable," said offensive lineman Chris Snee. "The facilities are great and it's always a good experience, as good as it can be."
Still, Coughlin likes bringing the team up north to get away from distractions and spend quality team time.
"It gives the team an opportunity to be isolated for the most part and focus on football," said Snee, who is Coughlin's son-in-law. "I know coach really likes coming up here."
On Tuesday, Coughlin did bring up how fabulous the fans have been this summer, rooting on the defending Super Bowl champs.
"They've been terrific and that's been a real plus," Coughlin said.
Following Tuesday's attendance figure of 1,880, the final number for the summer stands at 37,684. That's an average of 2,692 fans for the 14 practices at UAlbany.
"I think the fans here have been fabulous," Coughlin said.
Twice during training camp, the crowds topped 5,000. Once was Autograph Day (July 28) and the second was the final weekend practice of camp, this past Sunday. Continued...
"To have 5,000 people at a Sunday afternoon practice here, I just think they've been great," Coughlin said. "I wish that I personally could have accommodated more of them."
The amount of time the Giants have spent running training camp in Albany has decreased over the years.
Some of the players are in favor of keeping some sort of training camp style, where the team is together and bonding.
"I love training camp," said tight end Martellus Bennett, who was acquired in the offseason. "I've been out here bonding with these guys. We've been sharing jokes, telling stories — it's like going to camp in the summer, except you have to bust your butt on the field."
Bennett said he's been taking in movies and dining at the local restaurants.
"I've been enjoying Albany," Bennett said. "It's been nice."
Bennett said he was happy to head home, following three weeks away from his family.
"I miss my wife," he said. "So I'm ready to go home and lay in my own bed."

Immunology Antibodies
Immunology is a tremendously broad research area which focuses on the immune system. Much of the research is centered on the control of the major lymphocytes. B lymphocytes, killer T cells, and helper T cells are the main groups of immune cells. T cells are involved in cell mediated immune response. Helper T cells recognize antigens bound to Class I major histocompatibility complex (Class I MHC) and killer T cells recognize antigens bound to Class II major histocompatibility complex (Class II MHC). B lymphocytes present antigens on unique major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. When this complex on the B lymphocyte is recognized by a matching T cell, the T cell releases cytokines which activate the B lymphocyte and cause it to produce millions of antibodies.
Activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID), interleukin-23 (IL-23), a homolog to toll-like receptor 4 called RP105, interleukin-27 (IL-27), and T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein 1 and 4 (TIM1 and TIM4) are all proteins which have strong implications in recent immunology research. Activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is necessary for somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination in B lymphocytes. Interleukin-23 (IL-23) has many functions associated with immunology, including enhancement of memory T cell proliferation, enhancement of activated T cell release of IFN-gamma, IL-12, and TNF-α, as well as activating macrophages to produce TNF-α and nitric oxide. Interleukin-27 (IL-27) has a wider influence in immunology by playing a roll in limiting the duration and intensity of responses of the adaptive immune system. T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein 1 (TIM1) is genetically linked to asthma, and it is a receptor for hepatitis A virus, and the ligand of TIM1 is T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein 4 (TIM4).
ProSci has many immunology antibodies, including antibodies to the proteins mentioned here. ProSci's Immunology antibodies include antibodies against a homolog to toll-like receptor 4 called RP105, activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID), interleukin 23 (IL-23), T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein 1 and 4 (TIM1 and TIM4) and interleukin 27 (IL-27). ProSci antibodies are appropriate for ELISA, western blot, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) applications as noted for each immunology antibody.

In the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Steve Harvey gave millions of women around the globe insight into what men really think about love, intimacy, and commitment. In his new book, he zeros in on what motivates men and provides tips on how women can use that knowledge to get more of what they need out of their relationships.
In Straight Talk, No Chaser: How to Find, Keep and Understand A Man, Steve Harvey shares information on:
Always direct, often funny, and incredibly perceptive, media personality, comedian, philanthropist and (finally) happily married husband, Harvey proves once again that he is the king of relationships.
©2010 Steve Harvey (P)2010 HarperCollins Publishers
"Felt like I finally got the talk from my father I"
Thanks Steve for everything. This book is awe-inspiring and extremely enlightening. Growing up in a single parent household, I constantly received my advice from women and never had the accessibility of a father to acquire sound advice from. Male friends would always speak in part and fractions. So I never really comprehended their assistance. However, in this book Steve really breaks it down elementary style. Wish Act Like A Lady Think Like a man was available in audio also. I really wished this book was available ten years ago because a lot of mistakes may have been avoided. However, I certainly am glad to have it now when I'm really serious about getting married. I'm off to go and purchase it in print. It doesn't matter your race, religion, and or culture. Whether you're married, single, or in the process of a divorce, get the book because you will never be the same.
"Great Talk! Women especially..read this"
Straight Talk No Chaser should be a manual for young to older women! It gives strong insight into the male psyche without indecipherable words and jargon. I am 49 now, if I had this information in my 20's, I would have been a better person for it! There is something for everyone; men too. This is a great use of a credit
"Informative & funny"
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only informative but funny too. A shame something like this wasn't available 30 years ago, lol.
"No Chaser Needed"
This was amusing.....very amusing. I have several brothers and Steve Harvey is telling no secrets that a sister who pays attention to her brothers does not already know. The problem is that many women say, "This won't happen to me!" This is a constant problem that many women have who fall in love with love.
"A must read"
I wish I read this book before I got married. A must read for All young girls.
It made me laugh but it made me sad.
Go get it:)
"Want to stop that string of bad choices?"
Learn to "read the signs" as you go down the road that's a dead end. Stop wasting your time with Loosers/Posers/Player while others are getting the REAL MEN.
"It is exactly what is says it is!"
Yes, but only if the person is a listener. You cannot get any more plain than this but some people don't want to get it.
He delivered it straight and provided explanation. And he used personal experiences to illustrate. These are not rules set in stone but they are the norm that if women would embrace in a vein of discovery, they could put some expansion in their lives.
Yes, this was less comedy and more straight talk.
If the goal is to develop a relationship that's leading to marriage it is invaluable to truly know your potential and be clear about the direction the relationship is headed before a lot of time is wasted and feelings get hurt. Once someone releases the fear of not getting what they want they create a way to attaining what they want. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME because you are afraid of what is probably inevitable anyway.
"Sitting on the Coach @ Steve's Home"
It's a practical guide on dating from a man perspective
Steve talks to your from your lover, father, X point of view and keeps its real the entire time.
Now I want to read
No, however it took me less than a week to finish.
"Narrated by Steve Harvey"
I love Steve as a comedian, however it was very difficult to listen to him read a book. Sometime I wasn't sure he knew what was on those pages. He was reading as if it was the first time he had ever seen or heard it. The book itself is just an extension of the first book "Act like a lady, Think like a man". It was much better the first time.

KERMIT - The Town of Kermit invites the public to celebrate the change season at their annual Fall Festival this weekend.
Mayor Johnny Linville told the Daily News the day would be filled with fun and entertainment, beginning at 10 a.m.
At that time, a dedication will be held for a memorial to eleven miners who died in the Burning Springs Collieries disaster.
On Jan. 18, 1951, the No. 1 Mine at the Kermit Burning Springs Collieries Company exploded. Eleven men died in the disaster, including two fathers and their sons and a set of brothers.
The Town is creating a small park at the north end of Kermit on U.S. 52, Linville said.
"Norfolk Southern has donated a caboose, and we are going to install a nice memorial and plaque and have an information center," he said. "We're going to have picnic tables, it will be a nice tribute to those miners."
The Fall Festival parade starts at 11 a.m., with a pet show at 2 p.m.
The Town is providing inflatables for kids, vendors will be on hand selling food, and entertainment will be provided, with both gospel and bluegrass music, played live.
Mayor Linville said the festival lasts until 5 p.m., and invites everyone to Kermit Saturday.

Meanwhile, he had been thrust into the ongoing story about sexual abuse in the church after the British newspaper The Observer reported that three priests and one former priest, as long as 30 years ago, had accused O'Brien. The Observer did not recount the details of the claims or identify the men but said one of the priests alleged "the cardinal developed an inappropriate relationship with him."
The Scottish Catholic Media Office said then that O'Brien contested the claims and was "taking legal advice."
The same office released O'Brien's new statement on Sunday.
Born in Northern Ireland, O'Brien moved to Scotland as a child, graduating in 1959 from the University of Edinburgh. Ordained as a priest six years later at age 29, he later held various positions -- including as a math and science teacher, as well as rector and spiritual director -- at schools in Scotland, in addition to working as a priest.
He was named archbishop in 1985 and became a cardinal 18 years later.
Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles, meanwhile, is facing fresh attention over what role he may have played in the cover-up of sexual abuse by priests.
The Vatican has also been plagued by another scandal in recent days, as Benedict was ending his papacy.
Two Italian publications said Benedict, 85, resigned not because of his advanced age but because of a brewing scandal over the blackmail of gay priests by male prostitutes in Rome.
Benedict received a 300-page report in December detailing the possible blackmail, la Repubblica newspaper and the Panorama news weekly reported, citing an unidentified senior Vatican official and dozens of unnamed sources.
The Vatican emphatically denied the allegations, with Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone criticizing a rash of "often unverified, unverifiable or completely false news stories" as the cardinals prepare for their conclave to select a new pope.

Well said evowner. Another thing he does not understand is most families have at least 2 cars already. When the time comes to replace one get an electric and you still have a gas powered one for road trips. by evowner Jun 04, 2013 First a Leaf is hardly a toy compared to a SUV. Second the EV and solar programs are investment programs comparative to programs available to all businesses. And third, the government is broke because of lack of revenue. this revenue decrease came from tax policies that decreased taxes for the rich and corporations. There increased wealth was not invested in the US.
All I can say is you have a lot of money to buy tax-subsidized playtoys for the rich. Two vehicles, one of them an EV, and solar panels on top of that? Washington is broke and you're buying tax-subsidized gadgets with my tax money!
>Quit the fossil fuels and get an EV.< Why? So we can convert our dependency on Big Oil to a dependency on Big Electric and its coal-fired and natural gas-fired plants? Anyway, an EV is a playtoy for the rich who can afford either a second vehicle or to rent a vehicle when they need to go somewhere in something other than a glorified golf cart that is intimately married to a power cord.
May you have a Happy Memorial Day today!
>Solar is the first large energy source that the big oil corporations have nto bought control of.< Have you ever heard of BP Solar? It was at one time the largest solar energy company out there. BP shut it down concluding solar energy was just sending money down a rathole. Unfortunately for us average taxpayers, OBUMMER hasn't figured that out.
hello from Maryland
You asked: "The federal government pumped oil from these site? Really? Sounds like more corporate irresponsibility, because they can."- Yep, that's the fact evowner. Across the North Slope, there are over a hundred oil wells drilled by the federal government that are no longer operational. At some sites, there are abandoned drums sunk in oil seeps; other wells have gas leaking from them. The Bureau of Land Management has finally released a draft plan identifying 50 of these so-called "legacy wells" for clean up. But they've been dragging their feet for ages on their responsibility while trying to get some one else to cover the federal responsibility.
Just a quick message to everyone, if this works. Holiday weekend is upon us, wholesale price of gas is up last that I saw, and a few stations rising in price; which would mean it's a good time to buy gas for most of you!
Congratulations on having the dedication to post for 300 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
care to be buddies?

Banner backlash boils over
This one has been simmering for a while. Credit Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com for getting Jeffrey Lurie to yank the lid off the pot.
Banner backlash boils over
Les Bowen, Daily News Staff Writer
This one has been simmering for a while. Credit Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com for getting Jeffrey Lurie to yank the lid off the pot.
Frank asked Eagles chairman Lurie about the perception that his childhood buddy, former Eagles president Joe Banner, has been the source of a lot of the negative press Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is getting. Roseman, once Banner's protege, usurped Banner last year, with Joe landing in Cleveland, where he has the organizational control he sought.
Lurie didn't outright accuse Banner of being the main "league source" arrayed against Roseman, but he definitely issued a warning.
"I'm very supportive of Howie, and if there's any criticism coming from afar about Howie, it's just off-base, and so I will support Howie completely, because that's not right," Lurie told Frank.
"And you know, if there are league sources that are really based in Cleveland, that's not right. We see through it all."
The final straw might have been a venomous Jan. 14 piece appearing on CBSSports.com, from reporter Jason LaCanfora, in which the Eagles' coaching search was described as "meandering and bizarre," and Roseman was said to be "drunk with power" and "woefully out of his depth."
Before that, in another media forum, there was the midseason "league-sourced" revelation that the Eagles had extended Roseman's contract back when Banner left -- leaked at a time when the Birds' personnel flaws were bringing scrutiny on Roseman -- and a "league sourced" report that somehow Roseman was responsible for the disastrous hiring of now-fired defensive line coach Jim Washburn. We don't know whether Banner had a role in either of those stories, but the Eagles' brass certainly believed he did.
Banner's response Friday, released through Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis, was as follows:
"It's always difficult to comment on a quote that may or may not be accurate or in context," Banner said. "In this case, from the comments Jeffrey made that were communicated to me, it is necessary for me to make this clear, unambiguous statement. Any implication that I had anything to do with Jason LaCanfora's story is completely false, outrageous and borders on being libelous.
"I had absolutely no conversation with Jason LaCanfora. Having demonstrated my character over the last 44 years to Jeffrey and the last 14 to Howie, it is beyond disappointing that they would suggest such a thing. As tempting as it is to go further, other than defending myself, I will continue to take the high road on all such matters as I have done since the day I left the Eagles."
Later Friday, Banner was asked about the situation at a news conference announcing Mike Lombardi as the Browns' new personnel guy. Banner declined comment.
While Lurie went a little overboard Thursday -- almost to "gold standard" level -- in describing how much the Eagles and Roseman are respected by what he called "iconic figures" in the league, he was right about criticism of the Eagles' search. Their journey to a new coach was neither longer nor less focused than anyone else's. Five of the eight NFL openings didn't get filled until this week, and the Birds ended up with the guy everybody in the league insisted was their top candidate going into the process. Every interview they undertook made sense.
There are some people in the media, even right here in Philadelphia, who might owe Roseman an apology.
Which is not to say the GM has proven he is great at his job, or is one of the best young minds in the league, or worthy of any of the superlatives Lurie likes to bestow. But it's a fact that the media biz today seems to be more and more about "look at me and my report!" rather than sifting through agendas, trying to figure out what's true and passing that on to readers/viewers.
On a more pleasant note, maybe you heard Chip Kelly talk Thursday about the time Nick Foles, playing for Arizona, completed a pass lefthanded while Kelly's Oregon Ducks were trying to sack him. Here's the video.
the depths of jeff lurie's delusions are scary, to be honest. this is not an "iconic" franchise. the steelers are iconic. packers. 49ers. this. every other NFC east team has at least three super bowls, except for the eagles, who have none. this team has a lifetime .484 winning pct, 21st in the league. they are one of the league's bottom feeders, not one of its icons.
i hope chip kelly does well. but with a clown-suit wearing accounting nerd like howie evaluating the talent, kelly is doomed from the start hannibal barca
He said "iconic figures", not "iconic franchise". Which, by the way, is true either way. The Eagles have been in the NFL long enough, and have enough history to be one of the icons of the NFL. Iconic really has nothing to do with winning. Many teams are iconic. Aren't batman AND robin iconic? Or is it just batman?
And the term "overboard" being used about Lurie...Well, it may be true or not true, but we don't know, including the author. We've seen time and time again how sports figures see the media as paparazzi light. They are obsessed with spoon feeding fans drama, and it's so out of hand that these writers actually feel they know the true feelings of "iconic figures", or at least, they just feel so overconfident they can assume as much.
Maybe I should have used more spacing, so your brain had more time to read. It must be pretty stressed with all that baaaaaaa rage. MFPhils
the pathetic thing is, lurie and his lemming fans actually think the past 18 years of his ownership have made the eagles the NFL's gold standard. at least in Lurie's case he's a billion dollars richer as eagles fans accept mediocrity and continue to sell out the Linc, while he sips Chablis and gnoshes on canapés in his gladwyne mansion hannibal barca- MFPhils
- hannibal barca
Isn't iconic mainly a perception? Most people don't follow championships. For instance, the Phillies have a large market across the country. Many fans would be able to name the most popular teams, which kind of make those teams an icon of the sport. Phillies are definitely up there. Not the most iconic, but iconic to much of the country I bet. MFPhils- Wow, MFPhils and hannibal, this is one of the more interesting exchanges I have read on these posts. Nice work guys. By the way, I agree with MFPhils 100%. John621
- eagle fan for life
- ...the Cardinals aren't iconic?...you must be one of these new baseball fans around these parts...get a clue...the Phillies are over...
BP2, give Reid some credit for his first half dozen years, or didn't you cheer for the Birds in the SB? mike l- Norm3
- I'm going get you Jeffrey!!!!!! Damn you and that punk Howie. Cleveland rocks!!!!!

One of the main drivers for a move to Cloud Services is the cost savings that can be realised through server consolidation and the replacement of hardware servers with virtual machines. The savings virtualisation delivers can be split into capital cost savings and operational cost savings.
Capital Cost Savings
Capital cost savings come in the form of reduced expenses for hardware acquisition and potential savings for the data centre estate.
• Server Hardware. Moving to a virtual environment helps cut capital costs by reducing the number of physical servers necessary to support your infrastructure. Typically server utilisation is between 10 and 15%. Consolidation ratios of up to 10:1 are therefore possible, leading to a reduction in expenditures of significantly greater than 50%.
• Storage Hardware. Data storage can also be consolidated. Through the use of pools of shared storage, and the more efficient allocation of storage, utilisation rates can be increased from less than 25% to as much as 80%.
Operational Cost Savings
In a virtualised environment, operational cost savings are also substantial. These savings result from a reduction in power and cooling costs, management costs and the costs associated with server downtime.
• Power and Cooling. The reduction in the number of physical servers enables escalating costs of power and cooling to be kept in check. Measured over 3 years the savings will be significant.
• Server Provisioning & Support Cost and Time Savings. Virtualisation enables servers to be deployed much faster, from weeks to days and even hours. This frees up staff time to work on more strategic IT projects such as application development. With fewer servers to maintain, staff time is further freed up. It could be that the profile of staff can be changed to have less of a focus on support and more of a focus of developing systems that drive business efficiencies.
• Server Downtime. There are significant cost reductions attributable to virtualisations ability to reduce planned and unplanned downtime. By moving Virtual Machines from one platform to another, either as a planned change or unplanned via a high availability configuration, the resulting reduction in downtime and improved recovery times reduces business losses.
These are just some of the ways virtualisation drives cost savings. Server virtualisation often leads to total savings across capital and operating costs of 50% over a three year period.
