Chapter 8 Verse 6
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love
is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof
are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
words may be considered either as the words of Christ, or of his church. Some 994994Alcuin, Foliot, Sanctius, Not. Tig. in loc, think that they are the words of Christ expressing his desire to be set as a seal upon the heart and arm of his church; and the argument, reason, or motive, which he makes use of to prevail upon her to grant him this request, is taken from the exceeding greatness of his affection to her; which is compared to the strength of death, the cruelty of the grave, and the vehemency of flaming coals of fire.
I.He makes a request to her, that he might be "set as a seal," both upon her heart and arm: by which he may intend, 1. An inward and abiding principle of love and affection in her towards him: the church's love to Christ is highly valued by him, especially when it comes from the heart; for mere expressions of love, without an inward principle of it in the heart, are not satisfying to him; for what he requires, is, to "love him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind: let us love therefore, not in worst, neither in tongue," that is, only, "but in deed and in truth;" for this is what he seeks for, and is highly esteemed of by him. 2. A manifestation of this affection to him outwardly; it should not only have a place in our hearts, but also be shown by our actions, which should be in conformity to his will; "for if ye love me," says he (John 14:15), "keep my commandments." Christ should have both our hearts and our hands. 3. A constant remembrance of him, and continual looking to him: as seals worn upon the arm, or in a ring upon the finger, are continually in sight, and put in remembrance whose they are, or whose image they bear; so would Christ be always in his church's sight and mind; for we should, as David did, "set the Lord always before us," and continually look unto him, which is both pleasant and profitable; pleasant, because we behold him "full of grace and truth;" and profitable, because we receive from him "grace for grace." 4. A greater likeness to him: conformity .to Christ's image is one great end of predestination; which is begun in the hearts of his people by his Spirit; is increased by those transforming views he gives them of the glory of Christ's person; and will be completed in heaven, when they "shall be like him, and see him as he is:" believers have the image of Christ enstamped upon them; for as they "have borne the image of the earthly, they shall also bear the image of the heavenly;" which is, to have Christ set as a seal upon the heart and arm, so as that he leaves an impress of his image there; which conforms both heart and life unto him, and cannot but be desired by him; for every like loves its like. 5. A close adherence to his person, gospel, cause and interest; having made an open and public profession of him, we should "cleave to him with full purpose of heart," as Ruth did to Naomi; or as a signet does to a man's right hand on which it is worn, 6. and lastly, In this request of Christ to the church, his design may he, that she might appear to be his, and only for his use and service; as things are known to be such a man's property by his mark or seal being upon them; so the church is known to be Christ's, by his seal being upon both her heart and arm; which is himself; who is inwardly received, and outwardly professed by her; for whose use and service all she is and has are; being "a garden inclosed, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed."
II.The argument, reason or motive, which he makes use of to induce her to take notice of his request, is taken from the ardency of his love and affection to her, which is signified by those several following expressions:
1st, He declares that that his love to her was strong as death: he loved her so, that he died for her; he preferred her to his own life, and chose death rather than to go without her; which is a full proof and evidence of his love to her, and shews the exceeding greatness of it; for, as in John 15:13. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends;" which may very well be improved by him, as an argument or reason why she should love him again; manifest that love, bear him continually upon her mind, cleave close unto his cause and interest, seek after a nearer conformity to him, as well as reserve herself and all she had for his use and service.
2dly, He asserts his "jealousy to be cruel as the grave:" by which may be meant, either, 1. His zeal for his church's good and his Father's glory; so this word is sometimes rendered (see Isa. 9:6, 63:15), which zeal of Christ's, like the inexorable, cruel and devouring grave, consumed his time and strength, and at last his life; as appears from his own words, "the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up," (Ps. 69:9). He, as the great prophet in Israel, showed a becoming zeal for the gospel; which appeared by his warm and lively preaching of it; his assiduity and constancy in it, the frequent and wearisome journeys he took to do it; the risks and dangers he ran upon that account; as well as the many miracles he wrought to confirm it, and the care he took to free it from calumnies, aspersions and prejudices: He likewise showed the like zeal for the discipline of his Father's house; as is manifest from his severe reflections on human traditions; his asserting the purity of worship to be in Spirit and in truth; as also his frequent inveighings against the vice of professors; as well as his great courage in clearing the temple from the defilers of it; which heroic action of his is particularly recorded in John 2:14-17, which put the disciples in mind of what was before written of him: moreover, his zeal was no less fervent for the salvation of his people, and the glory of his Father, concerned therein; which plainly discovered itself in his voluntary assumption of human nature, and cheerful submission to the death of the cross on their account. Or else, 2. By it may be meant his vengeance on his and their enemies; and in this sense the word is used (Deut. 29:20; Isa. 59:17), what was a day of grace and salvation to his people, was a day of vengeance to his enemies; for no sooner was the year of his redeemed come, but the day of vengeance was in his heart; which he executed upon them without any mercy, pity, or compassion; his jealousy or vengeance was cruel as the grave; he spared them not; he made an end of sin, abolished death, destroyed Satan, and spoiled principalities and powers. Or else, 3. By it may be meant, the jealousy which he justly entertains of his people's faith in him, love and duty to him who frequently turn aside from him to other lovers, of which he often complains, being jealous over them with a godly jealousy; which is no other than the height of his love and affection to them; there being nothing that he is more anxiously concerned for and jealous of, than the faith, love and obedience of his people, test they should be given to any other.
3dly, This strong affection of his to his church, he compares to coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame; by which he would signify the ardency and vehemency of his love; how tottering it was to him, and how uneasy he was until he had given it vent; thus the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 20:9, being reviled and reproached for prophesying in the name of God, made a resolution not to make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name; but, says he, his word was in mine heart, as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay: so Christ's love was like burning coals of fire in his bosom, which gave him much uneasiness until he had given it vent; as appears from Luke 12:50. I have, says he, a baptism, meaning his death and sufferings, to be baptized with, and holy am I straitened, distressed, tortured and uneasy, till it be accomplished? And now this zeal of Christ's for the salvation of his church, his vengeance upon her enemies, his anxious concern that her faith, love, and obedience, might not be alienated from him; as also his uneasiness until her salvation was accomplished; may well be used by him, as so many arguments, to prevail upon her to grant him the abovesaid request. Thus much for the first sense of the words, as they may be considered as the words of Christ to the church; but the generality of interpreters understand them as the words of the church, requesting of Christ that he would set her as a seal, both upon his heart and arm, because of the greatness of that love which she bore to him; which she compares to death, the grave, and coals of fire: and this I take to be the most genuine sense of them, as being most agreeable to the suffixes in the Hebrew text; I shall consider it much in the same method as I did the former. And.
First, The church requests of Christ that he would set her as a seal upon his heart, and as a seal upon his arm: in which she may desire, 1. Nearness to him; as a seal must be near, that is worn next the heart or upon the arm: the saints are a people near unto the Lord; with respect to union, they are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones: Christ and believers are like the old primitive Christians, of one heart and of one soul; and they would be near to him with respect to communion; they would not only, with Job, come even to his seat, but also into his arms; would lie in his bosom; nay, are not content without a place in his heart. 2. She seems to be desirous of abiding in Christ's heart, and that she might be as a signet upon his arm; from whence she might never be removed, but there always continue; of which believers may be assured, though they are often attended with fears about it; for, as in Psalm 125:1, "they that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever;" they can never be removed from off Christ's heart, on which they always are; nor out of his arms, in which they are continually enclosed; for "they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of his hand." 3. She desires a share in his heart's love and affection, and that she might be valued and esteemed by him as a signet upon his right hand (see Jer. 22:24; Haggai 2:23), for there is nothing more desirable to believers than the love of Christ and the discoveries of it; for his loving kindness is better than life; may they but have a share in Christ, an interest in his favor, be but valued and esteemed by him, they care not how they stand in the world's esteem, what they say of them, or can do unto them. 4. She seeks for a continuance of his love, which may be depended on; for, "having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end," (John 13:1). Christ's love is like himself, "the same yesterday, today, and for ever;" from whence it is impossible that any separation should ever be made. 5. She also wanted and sought after an assurance of Christ's love, which is the Spirit's work, and is expressed by sealing in scripture (see Eph. 1:13, 4:30), which he performs, either more generally, by that work of grace which he has begun, and is carrying on in the hearts of believers; for from his drawing of them to Christ with loving kindness, they may conclude and be assured of their interest in his everlasting love; or else more particularly, by some special testimony of his, which he bears together with their spirits, that they are the children of God. 6. In this request she likewise presses after a manifestation of his love to her soul, by the arm of his almighty power, delivering her out of all temptations, and supporting and bearing her up under all afflictions, trials and exercises; which had wrought out salvation for her, and had plucked her as a brand out of the burning. 7. She desires a continual remembrance of him; and seems to allude to the high-priest, who had the names of the children of Israel engraven, like the engravings of a signet, upon precious stones; which were borne by him, both upon his shoulders and upon his heart, for a memorial before the Lord continually; which was typical of Christ,995995See more of this in my sermon, called," Levi's Urim and Thummim found with Christ." our great high-priest, who represented the persons of all the elect upon the cross, and now bears them upon his heart before the throne in heaven; whither he is gone to appear in the presence of God for us. 8. She desires to be always in his sight, and under his care and inspection, as his people always are; for they are graven upon the palms of his hands, and their walls are continually before him: they are as the apple of his eye, his jewels and peculiar treasure; which he has his eye always upon, and continually watches over, lest they should be lost, or any hurt come unto them.
Secondly, The reason of this request of hers, she adores to be the exceeding greatness of her love unto him; which she compares to death for its strength, to the grave for its cruelty, and to burning coals of fire for its insatiable and devouring nature.
1st, She asserts her love to Christ to be as strong as death: the meaning of which is, 1. That as death conquers all, kings and peasants, high and low, rich and poor, bond and free, young and old, weak or strong; there is no disputing his authority, nor controlling his power; but all ranks and degrees of men must, whether they will or no, be subject to him, the king of terrors: so her love to Christ overcame all things, and surmounted all difficulties which stood in the way of her enjoying him; she could part with, and bear all or any thing for the sake of Christ; father, mother, wife and children, houses and lands, a good name, credit and reputation, are nothing to the believer in comparison of Christ, which he cheerfully quits when they stand in competition with him; nay, things that are the most frightful in nature, cannot scare him from Christ, nor separate him from the love of him; such, as tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril and sword; nor death itself in its most formidable appearance;996996Nostros non rumpit funus amores, Lucan Pharsal. 1. 5. 5:761. 762. for in all these things he is more than a conqueror, through Christ that has loved him: Perfect love casts out fear; it dreads nothing, runs all risks, encounters and surmounts all difficulties, that it may enjoy the object loved, 2. As her love, like death, had conquered all things, So she herself was conquered by it;997997Omuia vincit amor, & nos cedamus, amori, Virgil. So Plato represents love as the strongest of all things; since that which rules over the strongest of other things, must be the strongest o£ all; Symposium; p. 1189,1190. it had wounded her sore; so that she was as one gasping, panting, dying, just ready to expire, unless she had the sight and enjoyment of him whom she loved. 3. Such was her love to Christ, that death itself was nothing to her, so that she might but win Christ and be found in him: the book of martyrs furnishes us with many instances of those bold, daring and heroic lovers, who loved not their lives unto the death, for the sake of Jesus; the most exquisite torments, and most cruel deaths they have been put to, have rather inflamed, than lessened their love to Christ; so that their love to him has not only been as strong, but even stronger than death. 4. Her meaning may be, that love had so captivated her, and worked so powerfully in her, that she was as a dead carcass, that might be moved and drawn by him whithersoever he pleased; the love of Christ constrained her to live to him, and not to herself; for love, as one998998Sanctius in loc. expresses it, is a kind of a civil death: lovers rather live at the will and pleasure of others whom they love, than at their own; and so the church did here for a frown, or an angry look or word from Christ, was as death unto her.
2dly, She says, that her jealousy was cruel as the grave: by which may be meant, 1. Jealousy of Christ's love unto her; either as it intends the heighth of love, love at its akuh; or else that evil, groundless suspicion of not enjoying another's love, or of having a rival in it, which Solomon calls, (Prov. 6:34, 35), "the rage of a man;" and may be said to be cruel as the grave; for such an one, "he will not spare in the day of vengeance; he will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts;" now if jealousy is taken in this sense here, it intends those fits of unbelief, which sometimes attend the people of God; who are often jealous of Christ's love to them: and ready to suspect his regard for them; which exceedingly tortures and afflicts them, and must not be reckoned their excellency, but their weakness; for of all people in the world, they have the least reason to entertain such thoughts of him. 2. By it may be meant the envy of the wicked against the saints, which is very great; for they would, as much as in them lies, deprive them of the common rights and liberties of mankind, as well as debar them the free enjoyment of their religious exercises; which is a great affliction to the people of God; for Proverbs 27:4, "wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy, or jealousy?" it is the same word which is here used; in this sense the Targum or Chaldee paraphrase on our text understands it. Or, 3. By it may be meant her zeal999999Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Marckus. for Christ, his gospel, cause and interest: thus Elijah is said to be, 1 Kings 19:10, jealous for the Lord of hosts, that is, zealously affected to him, and concerned for his glory; which, like the grave, is of a devouring and consuming nature; for, says David (Ps. 119:139), "my zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words:" Virgil 10001000Crudelis amor, Bucolic. eclog, 10. 5:29 Musaeus de Hero, etc. 5:245. gives the epithet of cruel to love.
3dly, The church expresses the ardency and vehemency of her love to, and zeal for Christ, by comparing them to coals of fire; live coals, such as have their coruscations, which flash and flame, and are bright and vehement; and to these her love may be compared, for the following reasons: 1. In such coals of fire there is light; so there is in the church's love to, and zeal for Christ. for though she believes in, and has love for an unseen Christ; yet not for an unknown Christ; for, ignoti zulla cupido; her zeal is not a blind, misguided zeal, but is according to knowledge, 2. In such coals, there is heat as well as light: it is true, sometimes the love of God's people waxeth cold, through the prevalency of corruption, and the cares of the world; it is like coals of fire covered with ashes; which seem to have no life nor heat in them; but then at other times it is re-kindled and re-inflamed by the Spirit; either under the hearing of the word, or in meditation upon the glory of Christ's person, love and grace; "my heart," says David (Ps. 39:3), "was hot within me; while I was musing, the fire burned; then spake I with my tongue:" nothing sooner raises it into a flame, then fellowship and communion with Christ Jesus; agreeable to what the disciples said to one another (Luke 24:32). "Did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?" Again, though they are sometimes cold, lukewarm and indifferent in their frames, yet at other times they are fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. 3. Fire is insatiable; it is one of those "four things which say not, it is enough," (Prov. 30:16), so is love; for it would always have more of Christ; it is never satisfied with communion with him; but, like the horse-leech at the vein, continually crying, "Give, give:" and for the same reason love is compared to death, and jealousy to the grave, in the preceding sentences (see Hab. 2:5).
Moreover these coals of fire are said to have a most vehement flame; nothing is more common with other writers,10011001Vid Barthii Animadv. ad Claudian. de Nupt. Honor. v.16. & de Laude Stilico, 5:74. So love is said to kindle a more vehement flame than Vulcan's forge, Theocrit. Idyll. 2. 5:133, 134. Vid. Idyll. 7. 5:56. & Musaei Leand. 5:245. 246. than to attribute flame to love, and to call it a fire; and here a most vehement flame is ascribed to it; or, as it is in the Hebrew text the flame of Jah, or Jehovah:10021002hytbhlç flamma Domini, Mercerus, Montanus; vastantis flammae 247. Domini, Brightman;' flammaeque divinae, Junius; flamma Dei, Cocceius, Tigurine version; flamma Jah, Marckius. by which is meant, either, (1.) An exceeding great or most vehement flame, as our Translators have well rendered it; for when the Hebrews would express the superlative degree, or increase the signification Of a word, they sometimes use some one or other of the names of God; as mountains of God, and cedars of God, for most high mountains, and most excellent cedars. Or, (2.) It may mean a flame that is kindled by the lord;10031003Cujus Carbones sunt igniti a flamma Dei, Tigurine version, so Castalio; quam Dominus accendit, Glassii Philolog. Sacr. 1. 5. tract 1. c. 10, for it is by the Spirit of the Lord, who is compared to fire in scripture, that this flame of love is first kindled in our souls. Or, (3.) it may be in allusion to the fire upon the altar of burnt-offerings which was always kept alive; and so a fit emblem of love, which is of an abiding nature (see Lev. 6:12, 9:24) and can never be extinguished, as is expressed in the following words.

Short hasn't hosted "SNL" in 16 years. And unlike other former cast members to return in recent seasons –Will Ferrell and Jimmy Fallon, to name two – he's not a major movie or TV star of the moment, despite his recurring role on "How I Met Your Mother."
But forgive us if we're as giddy as Grimley at a Pat Sajak fan convention. Tapping Short for the program's annual holiday show is a gift to his fans – and puts a much-deserved spotlight on an underrated comic talent who is far more than just the third of the "¡Three Amigos!"
Short commands a following that dates to his days on "SCTV" in the early 1980s. He gained wider exposure on "SNL," where in a single season – 1984-1985 – he made a memorable impact by playing a variety of oddballs, most somewhat annoying, but with an underlying sweetness (save for defensive defense lawyer Nathan Thurm).
Some of his best characters send-up show business and our obsession with it: Cigar-chomping old-school songwriter Irving Cohen ("Give me a 'C' – a bouncy 'C!'") and self-styled performing legend Jackie Rogers Jr. would have been right at home on the TV studio couch of Short's post-"SNL" invention, the obese and obsequious celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick.
It's been nearly a decade since Short's "Primetime Glick" exited Comedy Central, and even longer since his various attempts at legitimate talk show hosting success petered out. Still, Short's long been a favorite talk show guest, thanks to his high energy, penchant for breaking into song and rubber-faced imitations (he does old-style Jerry Lewis better than Jerry Lewis). He's earned many friends in show business, including fellow "Amigo" Steve Martin, who gave him scene-stealing moments in the "Father of the Bride" movies.
Those of us lucky enough to have seen Short's 2006 Broadway review, "Fame Becomes Me," know he's even funnier in person than on TV or in movies. The title of the show poked fun at the brand of show-biz smarminess he's long parodied, and offered a self-deprecating knock at his own lack of superstardom. So we're guessing Short has to be amused that his "SNL" musical guest – Paul McCartney – is one of the biggest stars in pop culture history.
As Short prepares for his return to Studio 8H, check out some funny promos below:

USGA, R&A Limit Green Reading Materials
iacas posted a topic in Rules of GolfJoint Statement Regarding Green-Reading Materials May 1, 2017 The R&A and the USGA believe that a player's ability to read greens is an essential part of the skill of putting. Rule 14-3 limits the use of equipment and devices that might assist a player in their play, based on the principle that golf is a challenging game in which success should depend on the judgement, skills and abilities of the player. We are concerned about the rapid development of increasingly detailed materials that players are using to help with reading greens during a round. We are reviewing the use of these materials to assess whether any actions need to be taken to protect this important part of the game. We expect to address this matter further in the coming months. FWIW I think they're talking about stuff like this… Edit (2018-10-15): The final "rules" are out:

Robert's been using the toilet during the day since July, but he wears a sleep diaper at night. Nighttime toilet training has been an easy thing to put off, mainly because it will most likely involve Daddy stumbling around in the dark, muttering and wringing bedsheets. We always knew Robert would work without a net one of these nights—and that night is tonight. Because after Robert's shower-bath, Daddy reached up into his diaper stash and found a whole lotta nothing. Fate has intervened, and sent the boy freeballing into history.
We're going to bed early, and we'll sleep soundly, knowing that your thoughts and prayers are with us.

How can one calculate the mass of air inside a tyre, given a particular tyre size; a pressure, in $kPa = \frac{1000kg}{m\cdot s^2}$; and assuming room temperature, and normal air composition? I can't quite work out what part of the equations I'm missing to remove the $s^2$ component.
I realise that surface/volume ratio is important, but for the purposes and approximation to a torus would be fine. For example, assuming a 700cx25 bicycle tyre, we might assume a torus where the diameter between centre of the two cross-section circles is about 630mm, and the diameter of the circles themselves is about 30mm. Let's assume a tyre pressure of 500kPa (~73psi).
Rough volume would be $630$mm$\times\pi \times \pi (15$mm$)^2 = 1.4\times10^6$mm$^3 = 0.0014$m$^3$
Rough surface area: $630$mm$\times\pi \times 30$mm$\times\pi = 1.87\times10^5$mm$^2 = 0.187$m$^2$

One of the largest icebergs on the planet, about six times the size of Manhattan, has separated from an Antarctic glacier and is floating out towards open ocean. The iceberg is named B-31, and is roughly 255 square miles (660 square km). Its estimated maximum thickness is 1,600 feet (487 meters). Last Fall, it broke off from the Pine Island Glacier. Researchers have been watching it drift away since then, via satellite.
"The ice island, named B31, will likely be swept up soon in the swift currents of the Southern Ocean, though it will be hard to track visually for the next six months as Antarctica heads into winter darkness," according to scientists at NASA's Earth Observatory monitoring its progress.

Another day, another skin color controversy for Kim Kardashian West.
Just a few months after Kardashian West was accused by some on social media for allegedly darkening her skin while promoting a new makeup line, the reality TV starlet is drawing fire once again following a new photo spread in Interview Magazine where she's pictured with daughter North and touted as "America's New First Lady."
The vintage photo spread, in which Kardashian West is dressed to evoke images of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, quickly drew fire online where many social media users questioned Kardashian West's skin tone.
In June, Kardashian West issued an apology when there was backlash following the release of darkened images of her associated with her skin care line.
"I would obviously never want to offend anyone," she told the New York Times. "I used an amazing photographer and a team of people. I was really tan when we shot the images, and it might be that the contrast was off. But I showed the image to many people, to many in the business. No one brought that to our attention. No one mentioned it."
"Of course, I have the utmost respect for why people might feel the way they did. But we made the necessary changes to that photo and the rest of the photos. We saw the problem, and we adapted and changed right away," the reality star continued. "Definitely I have learned from it."

Apple to Build Solar Farm to Power Huge New Data Center
Environmentalists aren't complaining about Apple's policy of using solar energy to power its data centers, but it would be an oversimplification to attribute it to responsiveness to the likes of Greenpeace. "Data centers pull a ton of power," said tech analyst Rob Enderle. "Building a solar farm makes a lot of financial sense on top of its being green.
Apple, which has a mixed history on environmental issues, will build a solar farm to power its data center in Washoe County, Nev.
"SunPower is working with Apple to design and build this project," Ingrid Ekstrom, spokesperson for SunPower, told TechNewsWorld. "We will be building a SunPower C7 Tracker system at the site."
The farm will reportedly generate 20 MW of electricity, some of which will be sold to Sierra Pacific Power Co., a utility operating in Nevada doing business as NV Energy.
What's Happening in Washoe County
Apple is building a large data center in the Reno Technology Park, about 15 minutes east of the city of Reno. An initial building occupying about 20,000 square feet was reportedly completed in March.
That building is on an Apple-owned lot of about 345 acres. When completed, the Reno facility will reportedly be Apple's fourth-largest data center in the United States.
Apple approached Sierra, aka NV Energy, in 2012 and leased from it 137 acres of land for 20 years for the purpose of building the data center, according to Bobby Hollis, NV Energy's executive of renewable energy.
The two companies have entered various agreements, including ground and a solar-array leases and a renewable energy agreement, Hollis said. Apple will pay for the installation and construction of the solar array.
About the C7 Tracker
SunPower's C7 Tracker solar concentrators, which will be used in the solar farm, consist of a horizontal single-axis tracker with rows of parabolic mirrors reflecting light onto solar cells.
The C7 Tracker concentrates the sun's energy 7 times, Ekstrom said.
The C7 Tracker technology was first commercially deployed at Arizona State University's Polytechnic campus in Mesa, Ariz., in April.
Apple's Environmental Efforts
The Reno data center solar farm is part of Apple's drive to power its facilities 100 percent with renewable energy.
The company has already achieved this at all of its existin gdata centers — its facilities in Austin, Tex.; Elk Grove, Calif.; Cork, Ireland; and Munich. Worldwide, its corporate facilities are 75 percent powered by renewable energy.
Apple's Been More Brown Than Green
Apple has had a spotty record when it comes to being environmentally conscious, however.
In 2011, a Greenpeace report listed Apple as being the worst environmental offender in the technology industry.
That same year, a the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs in Beijing said Apple's Chinese suppliers were discharging polluted waste and toxic materials into surrounding communities and threatening public health.
Earlier in 2011, Apple acknowledged that 137 workers at a Chinese factory near the city of Suzhou had been seriously injured by a toxic chemical used in making the iPhone's glass screens.
In 2012, Apple stopped registering its products in EPEAT, a global environmental rating system for electronic products, then reversed its decision after a public outcry.
EPEAT later revised its rules affecting Apple ultrathin notebooks, drawing fire from Greenpeace.
Apple did not respond to our request to comment for this story.
Why Apple's Playing Nice
Considering Cupertino's environmental efforts as an attempt to regain some of its lost credibility among environmentalists disregards the bigger picture, which is that data centers will perhaps not get enough power in a world where power consumption is increasing by leaps and bounds.
Apple isn't the only company to look toward clean power; eBay is expanding its flagship data center in Utah and will use renewable energy to power that addition. This will be the company's fifth and largest renewable energy installation. Google also supports renewable energy sources, through Google Green.
These moves followed reports in 2008 that data centers would face a power shortage by 2011, leading companies to redesign their data centers, vendors to unveil more power-efficient servers, and power utilities to offer rebates for reduced power consumption or better-designed data centers.
"Data centers pull a ton of power," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "Building a solar farm makes a lot of financial sense on top of its being green. You'll see a lot of companies doing this."

The next Disney movie may include an appearance from Spider Man or Captain America after the Walt Disney Company announced an agreement to buy Marvel Entertainment Monday.
Disney will purchase the comic giant for $4 billion, which will give it the rights to over 5,000 Marvel characters including the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.
The moves comes after a string of movies based on Marvel characters dominated at the box office.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Disney, which paid $7.4 billion for Pixar, creator of the "Toy Story" franchise, back in 2006, said the boards of both companies approved the latest deal, though Marvel shareholders and an antitrust review board still have a say.
Disney CEO Robert Iger said the latest acquisition combines Marvel's "strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters" with Disney's "unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties" and ability to maximize value across multiple platforms and territories.
Marvel earned a net profit of $206 million last fiscal year, up 47% from a year earlier, on revenue of $676 million, as it took movie production in house instead of just cutting licensing deals.

You will find some discussions of people who preferred the Allp to the rack - "in fact, we prefer anything above a rack." Part of their problem was that they were using the Petzl rack, part seems to be technique, and part was that the Allp is also a capable long-drop device. I just reread the entire ACA "Racks and Trolls" thread and I still think it has some good comments.

Thanks for clearing that up Gary. Looks like what I was taught about short micro racks being especially useful for heavier people (vs shorter) isn't necessarily correct. More like the longer version is especially helpful for lighter people and the shorter version is nice to save space/weight as long as you are heavy enough to rappel effectively without needing more bar spacing.
One device was tested by pulling over a mile of dirty rope through it under rescue sized tension, with temperature reading thermocouples being monitored at several locations during pulls. At 2kN of tension, and a lowering speed of 10M per minute, the Scarab® maintained a frame temperature at about 100 degrees C. To our knowledge, the Scarab® is the only descent control device to have been tested to this degree.

Michael Beasley's Illness and Judgment30 08 2009
Heat forward Michael Beasley's recent admittance into a substance-abuse program allows us to examine our judgments against those with illnesses and how that intersects with sports coverage.
When Beasley checked into the Houston-based rehab program, the public reaction was uniformly negative. The internet comments on the story ranged from aggressive lamentations on how "the NBA is all a waste of talent," to dismissive statements like "Beasley is just another Eddie Griffin," to the eloquent "what an idiot" and more of the same.
The lack of empathy didn't surprise me; after my time on these internets, I have come to expect routine bile from internet commentors.
However, I did have a surprising epiphany when I thought about Beasley: people don't care about someone who has committed a transgression. Even if the "transgression" is substance abuse and doesn't affect society as a whole.
I suppose NBA ticket holders can be upset that there's a possibility that he could miss some games. These ticket holders wouldn't be able to see Beasley play basketball. But how utilitarian is that of them? A person has a drug-abuse problem and they're upset because they dropped $50 and now, there's a possibility that they'll only be able to watch Dwyane Wade.
Although no one knows the details surrounding Beasley's situation, everyone is up in arms about it. From what I know, if Michael Beasley the Basketball Player is abusing drugs, how does that affect me? Besides a peripheral transgression of a law on substance abuse — depending on the substance — what is it about Michael Beasley that makes people sick to their stomach?
Aside from a Dwyane Wade tweet, I haven't heard any words of support for Beasley's struggle nor have I heard any acknowledgement of the maturity it takes to check oneself into rehab.
Michael Beasley the Person is barely 20 years old. By all accounts, the substance-abuse program had been scheduled for weeks. Multiple sources say that Beasley has been in Houston working out for the past two weeks, attending counseling sessions and undergoing clinical treatment to address stress and substance-abuse issues.
I know that most drugs are taboo in our society so when someone tries to address a drug-related problem, it's met with cynicism and disgust. But I think we need to recognize that rehab programs shouldn't be denigrated in the fall-out of our government's "war on drugs." I'm not a recreational drug user but I recognize that the stigma associated with government-approved vices (tobacco, alcohol, etc.) are very different from the stigma associated with non-approved vices.
The supposed deviancy of non-approved vices gives the public free reign to pass judgment when it really shouldn't. Michael Beasley's situation is a sad, private matter. Would it be different if he was on a nicotine patch or attended AA seminars?
Regardless, Beasley is a young person with a personal problem and shouldn't be subjected to all of this maliciousness. With 24/7 sports news coverage, it's important for us to take a hard look at ourselves, how we respond to athletes' situations and what it is we derive from professionals sports in general.

No, I'm not becoming a vegetarian. I enjoy meat far too much, but I'm finding I enjoy veggies more and more. Errr, fruit, too. Over the years I've worked hard to make healthful meals at home. I try to save our splurges for meals out on the town. We all know, how I love those. So, to maintain a healthy balance, I keep it healthy at home.
We eat turkey pepperoni, instead of the real stuff. I also make lean turkey bacon for BLT's and breakfast sandwiches. We even use egg whites these days. I've found a number of ways to cut fat without losing flavor. Some sacrifices aren't worth making, like I've tried to substitute ground turkey for beef in Bolognese sauce. I tried it without meat, but Frank missed it too much. I don't know why it took me so long to try eggplant as a substitute, especially since it works so well in lasagna and parmesan with pasta or on a sandwich. We've been missing out. This is great alternative. The eggplant bulks up the pasta in a hearty way similar to how meat or mushrooms (Frank's not a fan) would.
Best of all, it couldn't be easier. I simply peel the eggplant, chop it into bite-sized pieces and toss it with EVOO, a pinch of Kosher salt and garlic (shallots, too, if on hand) and let it saute while the pasta water boils. Once it cooks down and softens I add pasta sauce, simmer a bit to let the flavor meld and then I toss it with cooked pasta. I've made it twice now with success. Frank and I don't miss the meat a bit.

NEA Honors "Greatest Governor" Mark Dayton
Photo: Kevin Lock/NEA
The National Education Association honored Gov. Mark Dayton of Minnesota on Tuesday with the 2012 America's Greatest Education Governor Award. The annual award recognizes and honors governors who have made major, state-level education strides that improve public schools. NEA President Dennis Van Roekel presented the award to Gov. Dayton before nearly 9,000 educators who are attending NEA's Representative Assembly in Washington, D.C. Dayton is the fifth recipient of the prestigious award.
"Gov. Dayton has repeatedly stood strong for Minnesota's students and schools," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "He has kept his promise to make education a top priority of his administration by increasing education funding and focusing on our earliest learners. We are pleased to honor Gov. Dayton with the America's Greatest Education Governor Award. We are grateful for his continued commitment to students and the education professionals who work in schools and classrooms."
"I am very honored to receive this award from educators across America," said Gov. Dayton. "As a former public school teacher, I know how challenging their jobs are. I promised that my administration would make education and jobs my highest priorities. This award shows we're making progress."
This past May Gov. Dayton signed an education policy bill that includes a provision to require school districts to pay teachers, on military leave, their full salary. Previously, school districts reduced the pay of teachers on military leave in order to cover the costs of a substitute teacher. The provision was enacted after Matt Reuter, a teacher and NEA member at Goodview Elementary School in Winona, Minn., was required to pay $11,000 for a substitute teacher while he served in Afghanistan in 2011.
"Gov. Dayton understands that investing in the education of our children is critical to Minnesota's future success," said Education Minnesota President Tom Dooher. "He also understands that the road to a better Minnesota begins by working with people in our classrooms every day and by supporting our educators who also fight for our country."

A Baseball Dream
Click here to listen to my interview with Malcolm MacMillan. We discuss highlights to visiting various major and minor league ballparks, as well as the current pitching situation with the Toronto Blue Jays.
For many baseball fans it's a dream. Some never realize it. Some chip away at it, year by year. Some accomplish it all in one big season. I'm talking of course about seeing a baseball game in each of the 30 major league ballparks. There's something exciting and special about visiting a new (to you) stadium. After all, baseball is one of those rare sports where each venue is somewhat different. Different field dimensions allow teams to make a statement – to be unique. As an example, Yankee Stadium has the short porch in right field, a mere 314 feet away, heavily favourable to left-handed pull-hitters. The same right field in Fenway, "Pesky's Pole" measures a mere 302 feet from home plate, and hitters in Chicago's Wrigley Field have to muscle-up to hit a shot in right, a good 353 feet away. If you start examining various centre field designs, each features various quirks, such as Houston's Minute Maid Park which has Tal's Hill, a 30 degree incline (which reminds me of some of the local fields I play on) toward the wall, complete with a flag pole in play. Each stadium has various other attractions beyond field dimensions, too many worth noting here.
When one starts researching, possibly planning a road trip, there comes the "ah-ha" moment, realizing that there are way more minor league ball parks, many also worth visiting and each with their own unique attractions (plus tickets are always more affordable). In a recent interview, I caught up with Malcolm MacMillan, the owner of www.theballparkguide.com, who to date has visited 53 major and minor league parks, writing a review on each and making notes for fans on what not to miss. Listen to the interview here.
Back in 2008, I was fortunate to take a road trip to New York, and see one of the last games in old Yankee Stadium. Even more fortunate for me, was that it was a Jays-Yankees game in which the Jays won. It was hard not to feel nostalgic, thinking about how many legends had graced that field over so many years. I wasn't the only one feeling emotional, I noted, as following the game more than several Yankee fans could be seen with tears streaming down their faces. While I wanted to believe it was due to the tough loss my Jays had just handed their home team, it was more likely as a result of the realization that a stadium where they had formed many wonderful memories over the years was soon to be reduced to dust. Sadly, this is the inevitable fate of most parks. Fenway has been around for over 100 years, and while traditionalists would like to think it will stand for 100 more, that is not likely. All good things must come to an end eventually. So why not plan a road trip this summer, and visit some of these beautiful structures while you still can? The parks may not last forever, but the memories will last a lifetime.

The information you provide is used for four purposes: (1) to control access to the site (2) to provide the products or services you purchased, (3) to contact you about APhA services and activities, and (4) to understand how you interact with the site so that the site may be improved to better meet your needs.
There are four ways in which information that you provide on APhA DrugInfoLine may be shared: (1) with agents of APhA who are performing site services, data entry, customer service, or subscription fulfillment tasks under contract, (2) with organizations seeking to contact you about pharmacy-related news, professional information, or educational resources, (3) with research organizations, and (4) with a select few outside companies whose products or services we feel may be of interest to you. With the exception of (1), APhA offers you the option not to have your information shared. You may specify that your name and address information not be used for the purposes enumerated in (2), (3), and (4) of this paragraph by sending an e-mail with the subject "no informational mailings" to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We will undertake procedures to help to ensure that the information you provide to us is protected against loss, misuse, alteration, destruction, or unauthorized access. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Download Alpha III's The Aleph
Bizarre Brazilian prog from the late '60s by Alpha III, just one dude named Amir Cantusio Jr. who dedicated The Aleph to "the big musician/keyboardist Keith Emerson." Two side long tracks of weirdness, sounding like the score to A Clockwork Orange with its classically inspired crippling synth wobble, the dark & ominous grooves of The Wall (and only 10 years before Pink Floyd!), formal classical compositions tweaked for extra progginess, creepy clown laughs and fucked up vocals that are rewound, chopped, & distorted. Definitely a unique beast.
