Everyone agrees that Austin has a traffic problem and that problem isn't isolated to I-35, Mopac and Highway 183.
The city's major corridors, Burnet Road, Lamar Boulevard, Riverside Drive, Airport Boulevard and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard can also be traffic nightmares.
"We have spent millions of dollars studying, done the plans and put them on the shelf because that's what Austin does well. We need to take them off the shelf and actually do something," said Austin Mayor Steve Adler.
Adler is proposing the council put a mobility bond on the November ballot. It would add continuous movement intersections on Highway 360, improve urban trails, plus add bike lanes and sidewalks across Austin. But the bulk of the money would be spent on improving the corridors, not by necessarily adding lanes, but using the existing right of way to create other traffic solutions by turning them into "Smart Corridors".
"We want to get buses able to move more quickly by giving them queue jumps. We want to get the buses out of the way so when they stop, cars aren't stopped behind them. We want to get the bicycles off the roads so they don't stop cars," said Adler. "And then it's putting left turn and right turn lanes at the intersections so you're not stuck behind somebody as they're waiting to turn."
The corridor areas that would be improved are:
- Airport Boulevard [North-South] From Lamar Boulevard (6926 N Lamar Blvd) to U.S. 183 (Approx. 106 Airport Blvd)
- Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/FM 969 [East-West] From U.S. 183 (5801 E Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd) to Imperial Drive (4900 Imperial Dr N)
- East Riverside Drive [East-West] From Riverside Drive & I-35 (1111 East Riverside Dr) to SH 71/Ben White Boulevard (7600 E Ben White Blvd)
- Burnet Road [North-South] From Koenig Lane (2043 W Koenig Lane) to MoPac (11940 Burnet Road)
- North Lamar Boulevard [North-South] From US 183 (7866 N Lamar Blvd) to IH 35 (1310 Howard Lane Blvd)
- South Lamar Boulevard [North-South] From Riverside Drive (1239 W Riverside Drive) to Ben White Boulevard (2428 W Ben White Blvd)
The price tag is $720 million. Here's a breakdown from the Mayor's Office of how the money will be spent:
- $500 million Smart Corridors
- $100 million Regional Pain-Points
- $55 million for Sidewalks Master Plan
- $30 million for Urban Trails Master Plan
- $20 million for Bicycle Master Plan
- $15 million for Vision Zero Plan
"We can do all of these projects at a tax increase that's less than $5 a month, that's 16 cents a day," said Adler.
A citizens group made up of transportation professionals, spearheaded by the Central Austin Community Development Corporation, agrees that the city needs a mobility bond, but says the mayor's proposal is missing something: rail.
"It is important to move cars," said Mario Champion, who is also on the city's Urban Transportation Commission. "But it is important to move people, not cars, and light rail is the best way to move a lot of people."
The group wants $70 to $90 million of the bond to go toward engineering and planning to create an urban rail line from Crestview Station to Republic Square Park. This would be followed by another bond in 2018 to fund the rest of the $400 million rail line.
While Adler said he believes rail will be in Austin's future, he doesn't plan to add it to this bond.
"I don't think that urban rail is going to be part of this proposal for this bond election in November just because I don't think we can reach consensus quickly enough to have that happen," Adler said.
Council has until August to call for a bond election, but they don't meet at all in July. Adler said the council needs to come to a consensus in June. The proposal goes to the full council on June 23.

This fresh, farmer's market-driven take on the classic falafel sandwich comes from Chef Todd Gray and his wife Ellen Kassoff Gray, of Washington D.C.'s famed Equinox restaurant. While living in Israel after college, Ellen fell hard for falafel. This recipe is a tribute to the iconic sandwich. (Don't feel daunted by the long ingredient list -- prepping the pickled vegetables is quick and easy, and they're meant to be made ahead.)
Ellen: My love affair with falafel began in Israel in 1987 when I discovered it for the first time at a shop in Tel Aviv. The counterman would spit out impatiently, "Chopped salad? Chopped salad?" I thought that meant salad, meaning the shredded lettuce and tomatoes kind of salad, but came to realize it was actually a mix of diced pickled vegetables. A few years later, Todd and I were in a falafel shop in New York and the counterman hissed at me, "Chopped salad? Chopped salad?" and I knew immediately he was an Israeli. It took me right back.
Todd: The acidic nature of the pickled vegetables really complements the nuttiness of the fried chickpeas in the falafel. The vegetables improve in flavor after they've marinated for at least 24 hours and taste best at room temperature, so plan ahead.
Make It Parve: Swap the Minted Lemon Yogurt for hummus and a drizzle of tahini. Or check out Gray's suggestions for condiment options (see Topping Off Falafel) below.
Recipe reprinted with permission from The New Jewish Table by Todd Gray and Ellen Kassoff Gray (St. Martin's Press, © 2013).
- For the Pickled Vegetables:
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1-star anise
- 12 black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (broken into short pieces)
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 pound)
- 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots
- 1 red onion (thinly sliced)
- Optional: 1 jalapeño pepper (sliced 1/4-inch thick)
- For the Falafel:
- One 10-ounce package good quality falafel mix
- Canola oil for frying
- Dash salt
- Dash freshly ground black pepper
- 4 pieces of pita bread (cut in half)
- Minted Lemon Yogurt (recipe follows)
- Vidalia onion marmalade for garnish (optional)
- For the Minted Lemon Yogurt:
- 1 cup plain or vanilla low-fat yogurt
- 3 finely chopped fresh mint leaves
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon honey (if you're using plain yogurt)
- Dash salt
- Dash black pepper
Steps to Make It
Pickle the vegetables:
Combine the water, vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, coriander, fennel, bay leaves, thyme, and garlic in a medium saucepan. Bring to boiling over high heat; immediately remove from the heat and set aside to cool at room temperature.
Combine the cabbage, carrots, and onions in a large, heatproof bowl, add the jalapeño if using, and toss the vegetables to mix well.
Pour the pickling liquid through a mesh strainer into another saucepan; discard the spices. Bring the liquid back to boiling and then pour it over the cabbage mixture; stir gently to mix. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the vegetables are pickled — for at least 24 hours and up to 3 days.
Make the falafel:
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Mix the falafel according to the package directions. Roll the falafel mixture into walnut-size balls, flattening each slightly in the palm of your hand.
Pour 3 inches of oil into a heavy saucepan. Heat the oil to 325°F over medium heat (measure on a candy thermometer). Working in batches as appropriate for the pan you are using, fry the falafel in the hot oil, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through—3 to 4 minutes per side.
While the falafel cook, arrange the pitas on a baking sheet and put in the oven to warm.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the falafel to a paper towel–lined plate and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
To serve, spoon some Minted Lemon Yogurt into the bottom of each pita half, then spoon in some of the vegetables, dividing equally, and add 3 falafel. Dot some onion marmalade over the top if you wish.
Minted Lemon Yogurt: (Makes 1 cup)
Place 1 cup plain or vanilla low-fat yogurt in a small bowl (Ellen favors vanilla).
Add to it 3 finely chopped fresh mint leaves, ½ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon honey (if you're using plain yogurt), and a sprinkling each of salt and black pepper.
Whisk together until combined; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Topping Off Falafel
Todd: I like to bring a complex mix of tastes in this sandwich, adding jalapeño peppers to the pickled vegetables for a spicy accent, and finishing the whole with a sprinkling of Vidalia onion marmalade—a condiment I purchased. Minted yogurt makes a refreshing dressing, but you could also just take some hummus and/or tahini and puree it with some fresh garlic and a little water and salt.

Wood catfish 6"
|Husbandry Information
|Habitat Information
|Species Information
|Scientific Name
|Trachelyopterus fisheri
|Common Name(s)
|Fisher's Woodcat
|Type Locality
|Colombia, Sucio River
|Parauchenipterus fisheri, Trachycorystes fisheri
|280mm or 11"
|This is by far the most slender of all Trachelyopterus species. Another feature that gives its identity away is the terminal mouth, whereas other Trachelyopterus species have a slightly superior mouth (see also General notes).
|Males have a genital papilla, thickened maxillary barbels, spawning tubercles on the barbels and on top of the head and a curved, enlarged dorsal spine which can be moved up and forward. Also their nape is bent upwards, as can be seen in Tetranematichthys and Ageneiosus spp. Females grow larger and display a plainer colour pattern.
|General Remarks
|In terms of general captive behaviour, this species doesn't resemble its congeners, but is more easily compared to the larger Auchenipterichthys and smaller ageneiosids. It's a very gentle species that glides through the water and never displays the hastiness which is so typical for other members of its genus. Moreover, the nape and the enlarged dorsal spine make it look more like an Ageneiosus or a Tetranematichthys.
|Colombia, Sucio River
Colombia Caribbean Rivers, Atrato, Sucio
|6.0 - 7.0
|22.0-32.0°C or 71.6-89.6°F
|Other Parameters
|Generally undemanding.
|This species is not shy and can regularly be seen during the day, especially when being fed. All prepared and frozen foods are taken. Like all Auchenipterids - being surface feeders - they are particularly fond of insects and their larvae.
|Large pieces of driftwood as hiding places. See to it that there is also plenty of swimming space. The aquarium shouldn't be too brightly lit.
|Despite their size these fish are very gentle, social and peaceful. Smaller fish may however be eaten, due to the fact that they rest at nights while the fisheris are on the move.
|Suggested Tankmates
|Non-agressive fish and fishes that aren't too small.
|Has been recorded (see Reference notes below). Like other Auchenipterids these fish have internal fertilization. The bodies are wrapped around each other and to stay in position the male uses its barbels, dorsal spine and spawning tubercles. The actual mating lasts for about 30 seconds or less. Four weeks later the female lays her eggs. The parents will neither look after their eggs, nor eat them.

Kingsport City Schools officials are watching the "black mold" developments at Sullivan North/Middle School closely, with an eye toward the day when the city system is to take over the building for which it already has paid $20 million.
SVVFD Chief Stacy Vaughan said that when the county stops paying, the station will likely do without electricity, at least until its new budget cycle begins. He said the SVVFD has an $8,000 insurance bill coming due, and paying that is currently the top priority.
Any candidate wishing to withdraw from the upcoming city election may do so until noon on Feb. 28. The Sullivan County Election Commission will certify the slate of candidates at its monthly meeting on March 12.
Sullivan County officials have released more details of follow-up mold tests at Sullivan North/Middle School, but are not commenting on a $21 million lawsuit filed by a former teacher over alleged "black mold" that sickened him.
The former Sykes building near Wise will become Social Services' new home as soon as early April.
Follow-up tests at Sullivan North High/Middle School turned up no airborne black mold spores where they had been found last week, according to the Sullivan County director of schools. However, a former North teacher says he has filed a $21 million lawsuit against the school system for mold exposure he alleges put him in the hospital.
Legislation that would increase the penalty for flying a drone over a "critical infrastructure facility" without the business operator's consent from a misdemeanor to a felony advanced in the Tennessee Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. The bill appears to have been written for Kingsport-based Eastman and other Tennessee companies.
On a three-year average, Kingsport Fire Chief Scott Boyd said the department will respond to 8,257 calls a year with the majority (74 percent) being medical calls. During a given year, firefighters will work 50 to 100 actual fires.
"I don't think I ever encountered Mr. (Larry) Harris that he didn't have a wide smile, a big pat on the back and much encouragement," said Sullivan County Director of Schools Evelyn Rafalowski, a nearly 42-year veteran of the school system and friend of Harris and his family. "He was a good guy."
This $2 million expansion to the Kingsport Aquatic Center will include a new outdoor pool, pavilion area and office suite near the front of the facility. The new pool will have three swim lanes, space for exercise classes, a basketball goal, volleyball net and hydrotherapy jets.
The issue of sports betting was opened up by a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year, and other states have been quick to act. Eight states are already operating some form of legal sports betting and 21 states introduced legislation on the topic last year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Kingsport is planning to extend the greenbelt on the eastern end to Cleek Road and on the western end to Lewis Lane. Construction on the eastern portion should begin this spring, while for the western portion Kingsport is seeking grand dollars to help make that project a reality.
Sullivan North High/Middle School, co-located in the same building, will be closed Thursday and Friday for remediation but is to reopen Monday, Director of Schools Evelyn Rafalowski said.
Career technical education is alive, well and growing in Kingsport City Schools. Bo Shadden, the system's director of career technical education, spoke to the Board of Education Tuesday as part of celebrating February as Career and Technical Education Month.
Should the top position in a local school system — director or superintendent — be won in a political race or filled by locally-elected school boards through a hiring and contract process?

Remember the scientific explanation behind Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park"? The one involving dino DNA recovered from ancient amber? The T-rex, pterodactyls and velociraptors were total fiction, of course. But in 1992, Cal Poly professor emeritus Raul Cano, began finding and isolating what would eventually total more than 1,200 ancient microorganisms embedded in amber. And unlike John Hammond, Cano is putting the Eocene Epoch find to excellent use. Instead of the revived life form eating you, you eat it. Or rather, drink it. Yep, we're talking 45-million-year-old yeast — brewer's yeast — brought back to life.
Now San Ramon's Schubros Brewery has teamed up with Cano's Fossil Fuels Brewing Company to make a Fossil Fuels Saison that will be available to the public next spring — and available to early backers of their IndieGoGo campaign this December. No matter what the beer ends up tasting like — hoppy, perhaps, with a whiff of fermented velociraptor — this strikes us as the ultimate holiday gift for beer lovers.

Why such a massive undertaking? Well, as a story teller I wanted to tackle something epic, a saga without all the awkward hiatuses imposed by game play. I was seduced by the freedom of massive, all-encompassing themes and the chance to explore the secrets behind the versions of world histories that we think we know. For decades I had been gathering material on certain personal obsessions that had taken me restlessly into all kinds of obscure areas of research. I had been slowly constructing the foundations for a convincingly cohesive world including concept designs, languages, cultures and real world myths.
The Cappadocian Aengelus (175,000 words, written in 1998 and unpublished), Tomb Raider Angel Of Darkness and The Shadow Histories, all share some fundamental similarities of theme, which is unavoidable given that a distinct unity of passion drives me. Probably even the styles show similarities, although with the Cappadocian Aengelus I was definitely attempting to be more 'literary'. However they are totally separate creations and universes with their own distinct characters, narratives and colouring. But, as is often quoted, there are no new stories, only innovative ways of reworking basic archetypes and strands of the Heroine or Hero's quest.
Some of my dominant archetypes and themes are:
The Conspiracy of secret or Shadow Histories – forces operating within the shadows of visible history. The hidden influences on our lives and the dangers involved in trying to uncover those concealed truths.
Beings who guide or protect an evolving human race (possibly some form of angel-like entities, possibly not…!)
Secret societies and groups, ones with privileged knowledge.
Coteries dedicated to the suppression or protection of the shadow-truths.
Individuals or groups with arcane or unsuspected skills.
Individuals with unsuspected pasts or bloodlines.
Arcane artefacts, weird and occult sciences and unconventional weaponry.
Lost knowledge, lost processes, lost places, skills, objects, people and powers.
Multi-layered characters, who are never what they seem at first meeting, often with unsuspected or unique abilities.
Secrets & megalithic forces within ancient landscapes such as Turkey and Chaco Canyon.
Growth from innocence into awareness. Elimination, purifying by fire & resurrection; the alchemist's "Solve et coagulae".
Being a huge comics and film fan I'm fortunate in that most of my ideas occur cinematically. Great wallops of material just appear, complete, requiring only that I fill in the fine details – and spend hundreds of hours bashing them out on the keyboard of course. Once I saw how The Shadow Histories could become a context for a lot of the material I had been gathering for decades everything made sense a lot more quickly and the world of the hidden heroine, Cody Conmar, began to take on a convincing form. It now has a life of its own.
POSTSCRIPT TO THE ARTICLE Nov 2009.
There are plenty of good reviews of volume one of The Shadow Histories on a variety of websites at the moment and some fans of AOD have been enthusiastically spotting some superficial similarities between the two.

Do You (Single) - Rhaelee Gronholz
Do You (Single) - Rhaelee Gronholz
Do You, is a unique song in the way that it came together, it was all very organic. Rhaelee wrote the structure and lyrics all at once, while sitting in her car. Shortly following the engineering process came the funky bass line, done by no other then the wonderful Dik Shopteau, a renowned Minneapolis engineer and producer. The acoustic and electric guitar was done by Kevin Bowe, another mastered Minneapolis producer. These two added such a spunk to this song, that it changed the dynamics completely. It was exactly what Rhaelee was looking for. Take a listen for yourself!

As my music career continues to grow, I want to note that it's taken a lot of my own investment to get me where I am today. This is me reaching out and asking for help if you love what I do, and want to support more music that's coming from me. Here is the place to do so. All proceeds will go towards enhancing my music career and helping with the cost of recording and any music videos to follow!

The presentation was a depiction on the Cultural and Spiritual glory of the state of Maharashtra, lovingly referred to by Bhagawan as "Mahan - Rashtra".
Beginning with a depiction of boisterous, yet highly religious festival of Ganesha Chaturthi with a traditional Lezim dance, the epic of Maharashtra Gatha continued with the illustration of its famed sons and daughters whose contribution in the filed of social and educational sector brought about radical changes, reforming the state to its current pristine glory.

A capacity crowd filled the City Council Chambers on April 6, 2009, as the San Leandro City Council approved financing for the San Leandro Crossings (now Cannery Court) project by a vote of 4 to 3. The City Council unanimously approved a resolution committing $500,000 to help the Davis Street Family Resource Center purchase its property at 3801 Teagarden Street. A 10% rate hike for Alameda County Industries was approved with Councilmember Bill Stephens abstaining.
After honoring long-time commissioner Frank Sidari and installing new commissioners, Mayor Tony Santos shuffled the agenda to address the items that the crowd was interested in: San Leandro Crossings and Davis Street. After a presentation by Tom Liao, Bridge Housing's Lydia Tan advocated against a project labor agreement for the affordable housing project while labor advocate Barry Luboviski of the Alameda County Building Trades Council and other argued in support of an agreement. While the entire Council express support for the affordable housing project, Councilmember Joyce Starosciak argued to approve the financing agreement without requiring a project labor agreement that might delay the project. The financing agreement was approved by a vote of four to three, with Councilmembers Jim Prola, Ursula Reed and Santos, who supported a project labor agreement, voting against.
For Davis Street, the first time the request for financial assistance was on the City Council's agenda, it was narrowly defeated in a four to three vote. After a subsequent meeting of the finance committee, the measure passed unanimously after a motion to modify the agreement by Councilmember Souza was rejected.
A request by ACI to increase it rates by 10% was passed with six votes and an abstention by Councilmember Bill Stephens.Posted by Mike Katz-Lacabe at April 7, 2009 7:01 AM | TrackBack

|Dr Ian Watson, Adjunct Senior Lecturer, SPRC
Concerns about high levels of young unemployment have been a feature of labour market policy since the 1980s, but over the last decade concern has also focussed on NEETs. These are young people not captured in the unemployment statistics: those Neither in Employment, Education or Training. They have often left the labour market and may be homeless or in poverty. They face an uncertain future, denied the opportunity to build the skills and personal resources needed for a productive working life.
This seminar outlines a research project looking at young people's transition from school to work using the HILDA longitudinal survey data. While it is possible to use annual snap-shots from the data to chart the life course of young people, the HILDA calendar data is much more insightful, as it tracks the activities of respondents on a very detailed basis: 3 times per month over 16 years. Not surprisingly, this level of detail produces a vast amount of data. Fortunately, recent statistical and computing advancing have made it possible to analyse such data in useful ways. In particular, sequence analysis allows researchers to chart the life course of individuals and relate their trajectories to both their demographic and social context. This approach to life course analysis is much more informative than assembling a series of annual snap-shots, which often neglect the links between adjacent labour market states, for example moving back and forth between jobs and unemployment.
Researchers now have access to efficient software routines for sequence analysis in both Stata and R (while SAS and SPSS also provide some features). As well as analysing labour market histories, sequence analysis can be used for other life course trajectories, such as family formation or phased retirement patterns. While calendar data is ideal, the method can be used with any longitudinal dataset where events in a person's life are recorded with reasonable regularity.
Ian Watson has been a freelance researcher for the last 12 years, specialising in labour market research. Prior to that Ian worked at ACCIRT at Sydney University for 13 years. While his current professional work is mostly concerned with the statistical analysis of large datasets, his academic background includes history and sociology. Ian is a visiting research fellow at the Social Policy Research Centre, UNSW and his current academic research deals with wage inequality, unemployment, underemployment and casualisation in the labour market. His most recent book was A Disappearing World: Studies in Class, Gender and Memory and his most recent report was "Family Friendly Working Arrangements: Labour market and workplace trends". More information on his research, including downloads of reports, is available at his website: www.ianwatson.com.au.

Blanc de Blancs is our 'Premier', the finest symbol of how we like to work. Complexity in varieties and soils, with Macabeu as the structural base.
The soils on the estate are calcareous and date back to the oldest period of the Penedès depression some 16 million years ago.The first layer comprises roots of up to 1 meter that live in the clay along with nutrients, organic matter and water. Second layer, from 1 meter down. This is where the plant meets the compact clays known locally as galera. Calcareous base rock encrusted with marine fossils.
The large number of marine fossils that characterize the structure and composition of these soils are the main source of the typical salinity and minerality of the wines from our estate.
The vineyards of la Plana and el Viader, with a south orientation, have deep calcareous soils with a sand-rich loamy texture that give us the freshness and elegance which define the personality of Hereu.
Autumn and winter was a period with contrasting weather conditions. A warm and rainy winter; we accumulated 186 L/m2 of rain, which was very important for filling the water capacity of the soil. The months covering the plant growth period were warm and dry. August began with maximum temperatures over 35 ºC and a growth cycle with very little water. The 2012 harvest has resulted in low production levels but very high quality, with good balances for our sparkling wines and excellent health.
The crop year saw a low precipitation level of 486 L/m2 and the average temperature was 15.2 ºC with extreme maximum and minimum temperatures.
Biodynamic viticulture. A vineyard with spontaneous vegetation coverage which affords biodiversity, fertility and gives the soil a lot of life. We add manure from our animals, composted in the winter. We perform a short goblet pruning.
Use of plants and herbal infusions to minimize the use of copper and sulphur. Control of Lobesia Botrana by means of sexual confusion. Testing of fruit and maturation controls before the harvest. Manual harvest.
The grapes enter the winery by gravity. At each stage, the atmosphere is controlled by dry ice. Slow pressing at low pressures. Static sedimentation at low temperatures. First fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Assemblage and second fermentation in the bottle with a minimum ageing period of 18th months in a horizontal position. Disgorging date stated on the back label.

One brand of skepticism claims that we cannot have knowledge because there are no true statements. In Whatever Happened to Good and Evil? (Oxford, 2004), a very clear and stimulating defense of moral objectivism, Russ Shafer-Landau argues that this form of skepticism—global nihilism—is self-refuting: "If there are no truths at all, then nihilism itself cannot be true. If we correctly apply the theory, it turns around and bites its own tail. If global nihilism is true, then there is at least one truth, and that is contrary to the claim global nihilism makes. Being self-contradictory, it cannot be true." (p. 52)
I understand this argument to run as follows:
(1) If global nihilism is true, then there are no truths. [by definition]
(2) Thus, if global nihilism is true, then global nihilism is not true. [from (1) by quantifier exchange and universal instantiation of the consequent]
(3) If global nihilism is not true, then global nihilism is not true. [tautology]
(4) Either global nihilism is true or global nihilism is not true. [logical truth]
(5) Therefore, global nihilism is not true. [from (2), (3), and (4) by constructive dilemma]
(6) Therefore, global nihilism is false. [from (5) by the law of excluded middle]
Unlike some other charges of self-referential inconsistency—well-known arguments against eliminative materialism, for example—this argument promises to show that the theory under attack is inconsistent simplicitur, not just that it is incompatible with some additional propositions about the theory that are claimed to be obvious. "There are no sentences in English" is self-consistent but is incompatible with a claim about itself that is obviously true once it is written down or spoken. It is consistent but self-refuting. The reason Shafer-Landau's argument, as I understand it, is supposed to show that global nihilism is not only self-refuting but inconsistent is that it assumes only the characteristic thesis of global nihilism together with some basic principles of logic.
The problem with Shafer-Landau's argument against global nihilism—as with many charges of self-refutation or self-referential inconsistency—is that it begs a crucial question. If I were a global nihilist, I would not object to the reasoning up to step (5), though I would, of course, not accept all of the bracketed commentary on that reasoning (which implies that there are logical truths). But the inference from (5) to (6) depends upon the law of excluded middle—that every proposition is either true or false—which the global nihilist should reject. The most powerful version of global nihilism is the view that no proposition is either true or false, at least not in any traditional sense. This implies that no proposition is true without implying that any proposition is false. The global nihilist ought to claim that in the conceptual space of propositions, there are at least three cubbyholes: one for propositions that are true, one for propositions that are false, and one for propositions that are neither. Furthermore, all propositions are in the last cubbyhole, even the characteristic thesis of global nihilism itself. I conclude that Shafer-Landau has not shown that the most powerful version of global nihilism is inconsistent or that it is subject to self-refutation.

why do you eat cheese with wine
There are ways to conduct yourself during a wine and cheese tasting party and ways to conduct yourself during a wine and cheese tasting experiment. Only one of them involves sampling the offerings and then expectorat[ing] all of it to assess the intensity of several attributes. If you had trouble determining the right venue for that behavior, it might explain why your social calendar has been a bit light of late. It s in the lab, of course, that the chew, sip and spit approach described in a study just published in the
has long been practiced as the best available method to determine proper pairings. The problem is that if the way people eat and drink in an experimental setting is fortunately not the way they eat and drink in the real world, the taste experience might differ too. There are a lot of reasons it s never been easy to develop a better laboratory taste test for wine and cheese pairings. For starters, outside of the lab, tasting food and drink is a dynamic experience, one that changes slowly over the course of an evening, with each swallow of wine or bite of cheese affecting the ones that come after it. What s more, when you re talking about wine, there s the question of the alcohol, which means that you might react to your first sip with words like, smoky, woody, good finish and your last sips with S good, s really good got any more of this? The authors of the Journal of Food Science study led by food scientist Mara Galmarini of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council in Buenos Aires and Pascal Schlich of the National Institute for Agronomical Research in Dijon, France tried to come up with a way to capture or control for more of that in the lab. They began with a selection of four types of wine: a sweet white Pacharenc, a dry white Sancerre, a spicy red Bourgogne and a subtler red Madiran.
The cheeses were a semi-hard Comt, a hard Crottin de Chavignol, a creamy Epoisses and a semi-soft Roquefort. Finally, they recruited a small sample group of 31 subjects who volunteered for the less-than-hardship duty of sampling that menu over the course of five one-hour tasting sessions, held on separate days. In the first session, the volunteers sampled the wine alone. The red wines were served at a temperature of 64 F (18 C) and the whites at 50 F (10 C). The subjects were instructed to take a sip, hold it in their mouths and click a screen that presented them with 11 different flavor characteristics, including sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, herby and yellow fruit. They could click as many of them as they wanted as the dominant flavor changed and could swallow whenever they chose. Immediately afterward, another screen appeared that allowed them to rate the wine on a scale from I did not like it at all to I liked it very much. Each wine was supposed to be tasted and rated three times and each glass contained just three centiliters (about 1 fluid oz. ) of wine plenty for the experiment but too little for a buzz. In the following sessions, the cheese was incorporated into the tasting protocol and was served in equally small and precise portions. Each of the four cheeses was sampled before and after sips of each of the four wines, which meant 16 different wine-cheese combinations. The wines were rated in the same way they were in the first experiment. Overall, the researchers found, each cheese influenced the dominant taste of each wine in different ways that were more or less consistent across the 31 volunteers. There were more detectable citrus notes in the Sancerre, for example, after the Epoisses cheese.
Roquefort increased the dominance of the red fruit notes in the Bourgogne and decreased the astringency probably because the fat in the cheese coats the mouth, reducing tannin-induced drying. The red Madiran was the most cheese-sensitive of all, with the wine s aromatic qualities increasing and its sour notes decreasing after any of the four cheeses. Across the entire experiment, the effect of the cheese was cumulative. Rather than the wine palate becoming overwhelmed by a mix of cheese flavors, it actually seemed to become more sensitive good news for hosts who like to save their best wines for last. Galmarini, Schlich and their colleagues do not pretend that their study is the last word on wine and cheese pairings, or even on just the four wines and four cheeses they chose. Rather, they were interested simply in testing their methods, to see if they might have created something that other food scientists and culinary experts can develop further. On that score they succeeded. The rest of us experts more in the enjoyment than in the creation of wine and cheese pairings will be the real beneficiaries. The current fashion of wine pairing, carefully matching each course and even ingredient to a particular bottle, is a relatively recent one. But weБve probably been eating wine with food for as long as weБve known how to make it, which is why weБve got some basic principles pinned down underneath all of the flashy, complex modern matching. Ask what foods are best suited to a decent bottle of wine and one of the first answers always be cheese. But how did that come about; and just why do they go down so well together? According to some, weБve been matching wines and cheeses for hundreds of years. Apparently British wine merchants used to be fond of using the phrase Бbuy on an apple and sell on cheeseБ.
That meant that if wines went well with something sweet, like an apple, they would probably go well with cheese too. This makes sense. ItБs still relatively accepted that sweeter wines pair with milder cheeses, which many of EnglandБs signatures are. But while that tells us that people have known that they taste great together for a really long time, it doesnБt help us out much with why exactly wine and cheese taste so delicious together. As with most things, it turns out that science might actually have an answer. A couple of years ago, some researchers at Rutgers University were apparently just as desperate to know the answer to these incredibly important questions and set to work studying them. It all comes down to words that dedicated wine drinkers will be familiar with, things like astringency, tannin and mouthfeel. Basically, the researchers found that astringent drinks like wine and green tea created a naturally balanced mouthfeel when sipped with fatty foods like salami and cheese, and got better at cutting through that fattiness as the meal went on too. Basically, throughout a meal the dry feeling you get out of wine gets stronger and the slippery feeling you get from cheese gets lessened, creating an ideally balanced mouthful. This is all just a starting point. Wine and cheese pairing is a varied, complex art with its own sets of principles and subjective ideas. You donБt just throw any old wine and cheese together. But if true, the work of these noble researchers helps us to understand a little something weБve known for some time; that wine and cheese taste awesome together. And, most importantly, it gives us something mildly interesting to smugly bring up over our next cheese plate.

On Tuesday, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish announced that Notre Dame Stadium will be undergoing some renovations. The renovations will improve concourses in the stadium, concession areas, enhanced WiFi and much more.
However, perhaps the most important upgrade will be something that seemingly every other stadium has.
That's right, Notre Dame is finally adding a video board.
If everything goes according to plan, the brand new video board will be installed in Notre Dame Stadium by the 2017 college football season.
Better late than never, right?

Hilly Hiking with the Stars
Back home, I'm not typically keen on hiking but I am one for breathtaking views and nature.
So Leyna, leading the way introduced me to the ever so famous hiking trail, Runyon Canyon.
A trail known to be the mecca where the stars take their hikes.
I didn't realize this until two famous boxers were sighted by Leyna.
No, I don't recall their names and wasn't going to be "that person" who whips my phone out to snag a photo.
Plus, I would have never recognized them if they weren't pointed out to me, so not a huge deal.
Let the hike continue and the views of amazingness never end!

The United Nations is ready to get into the Syrian city of Raqqa after so-called Islamic State (IS) was driven out after three years.
Aid workers have said it may take years before they can return to their homes.
A US-backed alliance of Syrian fighters says it has full control of the city.
Operations were under way to uncover jihadist sleeper cells and remove landmines from the last areas of Raqqa, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) spokesman Mustefa Bali said.
The four-month assault against IS destroyed Raqqa's civilian infrastructure and homes, humanitarian agencies say.

Haryana environment impact body overstepping its brief?
The State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) under chairmanship of Saroj Siwatch seems to have framed its own rules and is virtually working as a court, calling business representatives for hearing before clearing their business projects worth crores.punjab Updated: Mar 16, 2015 11:06 IST
The State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) under chairmanship of Saroj Siwatch seems to have framed its own rules and is virtually working as a court, calling business representatives for hearing before clearing their business projects worth crores.
Though, nowhere is it mentioned in the notification that it could invite project proponents for hearing or presentations.
Siwatch is the daughter of former Congress chief minister of Haryana Bansi Lal and is a retired IAS officer. Siwatch's two-year tenure is ending on March 22.
The SEIAA gives environmental clearance to projects before the start of construction work. The body is answerable to the state government.
But before it, the State Environment Assessment Committee (SEAC) comprising technical experts goes through the project and has the right to call representatives of business houses for presentation before giving their recommendations. But in Haryana, the representatives of business houses are again called for hearing when SEIAA discusses their case.
The HT team found that on March 9 and also on February 18, businessmen, architects, consultants lined up outside the room of Siwatch. A day is fixed when cases are discussed and representatives of firms are called.
"First we have to appear before SEAC and then before SEIAA. The SEIAA has no right to call us. We are harassed over the procedure. It doesn't happen in other states," said a businessman under condition of anonymity.
The ministry of environment and forests had issued a clarification, dated March 8, 2010, on the same issue where it said, "there is no need normally for separate presentations to be made before the SEAC and SEIAA."
The notification dated September 14, 2006, by which SEIAA was set up, clearly mentioned that the regulatory authority shall normally accept the recommendations of the SEAC and in cases where it disagrees it shall request reconsideration while stating the reasons of disagreement.
When contacted, Siwatch refused to comment on the issue.
Another member of SEIAA SK Khanna also remained evasive when asked why business proponents are being called for hearing. He said, "The chairman calls the meeting. She sets the agenda. I live outside (in Gurgaon)."
Member secretary, SEIAA, Sanjiv Verma, who is an IAS officer, said that only chairperson could speak about the procedures and he was not authorised to make any statement.
Chairman of SEAC, IJ Juneja said, "We are experts. If we have decided, then what is left. But they (SEIAA) are holding sessions like a court which shouldn't be happeneing. Nobody likes it. It causes delays. Presentations, importantly, are only to be given to us."
He described the relation between SEIAA and SEAC as that between a president and cabinet and said normally SEIAA should agree with the SEAC.
Principal secretary, environment, Anurag Rastogi, said, "If someone is called and complains that he is being harassed then we can take action. If there is no complaint what we can do."

Perfect Your Meals With These Tips
While many people would like to pursue a career as a chef, the time and training required to achieve this dream can seem monumental. You can teach yourself to cook well by following the step-by-step directions in a recipe. The advice in this article will give you a head start.
You should bake crusts for a longer period of time than you think. The color should be a darker caramel instead of the pale blond so many people do. The golden color indicates that the sugar in the pie crust has caramelized and this will give a sweet and crisp flavor.
It is essential that you are prepared before you start to cook a meal to serve to your loved ones. Be certain that you have every ingredient you will need on hand. Prepare everything the day prior, including the correct utensils and other cooking tools. This will aid you in keeping calm and doing your best.
Add oil to the pan on the side so when it reaches the food it is hot. This helps to enhance and maximize the taste of your cooking.
Having knives that are very sharp is essential when cooking. Dull knives make cutting difficult, but in addition, they are dangerous. If you're trying to slice a firm vegetable with a blunted knife, you're more likely to cut yourself with it than you are if you use a sharp knife.
If you're cooking food for an important person, such as a new date or even your boss, you should make sure you are cooking food you are experienced at. Do not attempt to whip up a new dish or use an ingredient you have never used before. You will enjoy cooking more if you have greater peace of mind.
Apples are a popular ingredient during fall and winter, but unless they are stored properly, they spoil quickly. Warm, dry air will make apples rot, so keep them in the fridge or cellar in plastic bags. However, if even one apple becomes rotten, it will quickly spoil all apples in the same bag.
Fresh Ingredients
When you are cooking, use fresh ingredients instead of frozen or dried ones for the best results. Use fresh ingredients, as they bring out the flavor in a dish, and they are also less expensive.
When you need to store dry ingredients such as flour, or sugar in your kitchen, use airtight containers. Putting your food in these kinds of containers will prevent insects from getting into the food and prevent them from going bad from air exposure. You can find this type of container easily and at a good price: consider it an investment since you will be able to eat left overs more easily.
Optimize your efforts when making your own chicken stock. If you make a large amount of stock you can freeze it for future use. Good homemade chicken stock is a wonderful base in soups, stews, casseroles and more. Simply cool the stock, and then freeze it into Ziploc, heavyweight freezer bags.
Chicken Broth
When simmering or boiling vegetables, try adding chicken broth. Simmering vegetables in the broth will keep them from adhering to the bottom of the pan and also infuse them with rich flavor. You can make your own chicken broth or you can buy it at most any supermarket at a very low price.
If you are preparing a recipe that calls for milk or water, try substituting with an alternate liquid to add new flavor to your meals. Substitute plain water with juice, broth, or the water that you cooked your vegetables in. Other dairy products such as buttermilk or sour cream can be used in place of milk. Using different liquids can add nutritional value, while at the same time punching up bland, old recipes.
If you cook using herbs and spices, keep them stored under dark, cool conditions to preserve their freshness and flavor. Spices and herbs lose their flavor when they are stored in warm areas.
To stay on top of the mess that comes with cooking, wash your dishes as soon as you are done using them. With a two-bowl sink, you can keep one side full of hot suds and run clear water for rinsing in the other. Dishes clean best immediately after use and by washing them immediately, they will be ready to prepare the next ingredient for your meal.
Prepare all of your ingredient before you begin cooking. This will keep you from being distracted while the food is cooking. It can be dangerous preparing ingredients while hot oil is cooking on the stove, for instance. Having everything ready beforehand is safer and less stressful.
Get your grill ready to go before you start to barbecue. You can plan on 30 minutes as an average time before your charcoal grill will be ready for you to begin cooking. You need to allow the coals to reach a medium heat. Once the desired temperature has been reached they should be covered with ash. This is the perfect temperature to grill.
Your spices and cooking herbs will last longer if stored in a dry, cool, and dark place. Flavor loss occurs when they are exposed to heat, light and humidity. This exposure will only cause them to lose flavor.
There are several types of potatoes, and they are not all the same. For example, some are waxy and wonderful for making potato salad or boiled potatoes but would not work well as french fries or baked potatoes. When cooking those foods, try using fluffier potatoes, including Russets.
No matter who you are cooking for, being able to cook well is a valuable tool. All over the world, people eat their meals with family and friends. By following the advice in this article, you can jump start your path towards being a great cook and the life of the dinner party.

- Art or Porn: Clear Division or False Dilemma?

Art or Porn? The popular media will often choose this heading when reviewing the latest sexually explicit novel, film, or art exhibition. The underlying assumption seems to be that the work under discussion has to be one or the other, and cannot be both. But is this not a false dilemma? Can one really draw a sharp dividing line between the two domains? I think not. I will argue that there is a middle ground between art and pornography and that this middle ground is occupied by numerous paintings, prints, photographs, films, novels and graphic novels. As such, I believe that the phrase 'pornographic art,' far from being an oxymoron, actually designates a legitimate artistic category. There is strong opposition to this view in the philosophy of art today. Both Jerrold Levinson and Christy Mag Uidhir have recently argued that pornography and art are mutually exclusive. So, my first task is to show that their arguments, though well-crafted and carefully formulated, ultimately fail.

The last couple of days have been really rainy here in Auckland. Now this is not exactly a shocker, it's Auckland and it's the middle of winter rain is pretty much a given; but the last couple of days have been particularly vile.
Given that it's been raining so much and that cats hate the water you would think that my cat would want to spend all of his time inside except for necessary trips outside. But no, not Fonzie:
He spent most of yesterday outside somewhere, even though I was home all day with the heater on and constantly looks surprised when he asks to go outside and it's raining. He also raced outside with me when I took some rubbish out to the bin, and then looked annoyed because he was wet.
I do love him but he is mental.

We're still just starting the year 2017, and already there are some important supply chain trends to take note of. This is a space that is always in flux—those involved in logistics are constantly looking for the next big advantage or step forward in technology to cut costs and increase efficiency—but 2017 feels like we're on the precipice of even greater change.
This is due to the fact that supply chains have become increasingly globalized, which means they are subject to changes in politics, local and international economies, and technology, all areas that are turbulent by nature. Yet the purpose of a supply chain is to remain constant despite external pressures, delivering inventory from the point of origin to a customer's doorstep in time, every time.
With that in mind, those involved in supply chain management and its related fields should keep an eye on the following trends this year, as they'll no doubt make a splash over the next 12 months and the years to come.
1. Donald Trump, U.S. politics and "America first"
Try as you might, you can't avoid politics in this day and age, and the realm of supply chain management is no exception. Putting partisan views on Donald Trump's executive orders and temperament aside, it's undeniable that the new president has views on trade that would alter many supply chains, which often run through other countries like China and Mexico.
It's quite possible by the end of 2017 that trade with China has decreased significantly, and trade with Mexico will also take a hit. Multinational corporations and small manufacturers alike will have to monitor the political climate and potentially redesign their supply networks to avoid heavy taxes imposed on imports, a tactic Trump has considered utilizing.
2. Investment in infrastructure
One more word on the potential effect of politics here: An area that Trump has promised to tackle is America's infrastructure, with a $1 trillion investment over 10 years.
Anyone currently involved in supply chain management knows the costs of transportation will only continue to rise as the nation's infrastructure remains outdated and crumbling. Many roads, bridges, tunnels and the other public works that trucking companies, for example, use to move inventory from one part of the country to another are in disrepair. Local governments often lean on the trucking industry to make up the funding gap, whether by levying a pothole tax or imposing a trucks-only toll along highways. The American Trucking Association says the trucking industry loses $50 billion a year in wasted time and fuel.
Though a $1 trillion investment still wouldn't cover all that needs to get done in the coming years, it would be a major start. There are also larger questions about infrastructure that American businesses, as well as the nation as a whole, need to consider, such as the best ways to upgrade roads that will (in the not-too-distant future) be shuttling self-driving cars and trucks. This is, hopefully, the year planning for that new reality begins.
3. Automation in warehouses
While consumers are keeping their eye on automation on the "last mile" of their delivery process (more on that later) by anticipating drone delivery, we are realistically still years away from drone-to-doorstep deliveries. A recent demonstration by UPS showcasing their delivery drone in real-world settings went somewhat awry, illustrating the need for further development.
But at the demonstration, John Dodero, Vice President of Engineering for UPS, made a comment that spoke to the greater fear of automation: "Our goal is not to replace UPS drivers…we just want to enhance their capabilities and make them more efficient."
At the moment, that appears to be the case in warehousing as well, where drones are assisting warehousing workers more so than replacing them. But 2017 could be the year the scales tip, and robots take over warehouse duties more fully and autonomously.
Related Article: 5 Challenges For Supply Chain and E-Commerce GrowthWhile in general warehouses are investing in warehouse management systems and other technological upgrades, 15 percent of executives said obtaining autonomous mobile robots was a priority. As robots become more adept at things like picking and packing, palletizing and depalletizing, and automatic sorting, the need for human workers (who need to be paid, as well as given time off, fed, etc.) at all will be reduced greatly.
4. E-commerce defines retail
E-commerce isn't necessarily the brick-and-mortar killer most of us thought—many businesses that made their bones online are actually moving to a "bricks-and-clicks" model that makes for a more holistic selling experience—but it will continue to dominate the retail space in the future.
For example, Cyber Monday (and the weekend preceding it) continues to smash records as THE Thanksgiving break sales day, which speaks to what makes digital shopping so popular—it can be done day or night, from anywhere, on almost any device.
This year, expect even more online promotions, and a concerted effort by businesses to make their supply chains fit the needs of their digital channels. At the most basic level, this involves an inventory management system that tracks sales across all platforms, to ensure accurate stock levels.
5. "Last mile" delivery startups
One of the hottest spaces in the supply chain game at the moment is "last mile" delivery, which is still very much up for grabs. Like many other areas of our economy, there is potential for "Uberization" of freight and delivery.
There are a few startups that are trying to corner this market, but it will be difficult to gain control of the delivery space away from giants like UPS, FedEx and, increasingly, Amazon. But companies like Postmates and DoorDash show that there will always be space, albeit limited, for companies that want to help businesses and consumers make a fast delivery happen, even when the delivery giants say it can't be done.
6. Amazon's foray into 3PL territory
It wouldn't be an article about retail and supply chains without mentioning Amazon. For the last few years, Amazon has made inroads into taking over (or at least carving out its own space) in traditional logistics, after more than one holiday season of being let down by relying on third-party logistics providers. Amazon is looking to create its own shipping and air cargo fleets, improve its drone delivery program, and it has already opened 100+ fulfillment centers across the country as a way to cut down on delivery times and increase efficiency.
Considering that many small businesses already use Amazon's platform to sell their wares, and the Seattle-based giant has shown no sign of slowing down its innovation of a multitude of retail and supply chain spaces, everyone needs to keep an eye on the company's expansion to see how they will supplement, or compete with, existing solutions.
