ConocoPhillips Joins Marathon in Surge of Tax-Free Spinoffs
Flexible U.S. tax laws and rules are helping to fuel a surge in U.S. corporate spinoffs, allowing companies to split apart without taking a tax hit or imposing one on investors.
This year, companies in the S&P 500 Index including Kraft Foods Inc., El Paso Corp., ConocoPhillips and L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. have announced plans for tax-free spinoffs.
The ease with which such spinoffs can be completed makes them an attractive strategy for companies, particularly when compared with the sale of a subsidiary that could trigger capital gains taxes, said Robert Willens, an independent tax consultant in New York.
"It becomes pretty simple to conclude that the spinoff is the best route, because of the tax consequences or the lack of tax consequences," he told Bloomberg Government.
The increase in spinoffs this year follows a wave of corporate consolidation that left companies with subsidiaries they want to shed. Also, investors often prefer more narrowly focused companies that can develop expertise in particular markets.
"There's generally greater external transparency of the business performance when the marketplace looks at the pure plays versus being accomplished" with a consolidated company, ConocoPhillips CEO James Mulva told analysts on a July 14 conference call to discuss the company's decision to spin off its refining and marketing business from its energy-production company. "There's more focus and attention, and greater probability of success."
60 Spinoffs
So far this year, U.S.-based public companies have announced 60 spinoffs, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's more than the combined total of 46 for 2009 and 2010. The largest such deal announced in 2011 that has closed is Marathon Oil Corp.'s $13.9 billion spinoff of its refining operations, now known as Marathon Petroleum Corp.
Legal and regulatory changes over the past decade have made spinoff transactions more routine and easier to achieve without tax consequences, particularly for large U.S. public companies, said Gary Wilcox, a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP in Washington.
Still, completing a spinoff without triggering capital gains taxes for the parent corporation and the shareholders requires navigating a set of tax rules, which are designed in part to prevent companies from using a spinoff as a back-door way of avoiding taxes on a planned sale.
Tax Treatment
In a typical spinoff, a company turns a subsidiary into a new company, which belongs to its shareholders. The parent company doesn't pay taxes on any difference between its investment in the subsidiary and the deal price, and the shareholders don't face tax consequences.
Companies often view spinoffs as a way to make their operations more efficient or to unlock value in a conglomerate. In the Kraft deal, announced Aug. 4, the parent company plans to spin off its North American grocery business, putting Oscar Mayer meats together with Maxwell House coffee while keeping them separate from the global snack food business that will remain the home of Oreo cookies and Trident gum.
Several of the companies pursuing spinoffs, including Kraft and El Paso, are seeking private letter rulings from the Internal Revenue Service blessing the structure of the deals.
Those letters come with caveats. The IRS doesn't issue opinions on whether there is a plan for a future purchase of the spun-off company, whether the spinoff is a technique for avoiding dividend taxes and whether there is an adequate business purpose for the transaction.
A 2003 decision by the IRS to include the caveats was coupled with a decision to provide clearer public guidance on how to achieve a spinoff, said Wilcox, who was deputy chief counsel at the IRS at the time.
"Too many resources at the IRS were being used to help taxpayers make these very detailed factual determinations," he said.
That decision to limit the scope of IRS rulings hasn't stopped companies from seeking them.
"Because the potential numbers are so great if you blow it, some folks feel better if they have the time to go get the ruling, just so they have a piece of paper in the file showing that the IRS has a piece of paper and blessed it," Wilcox said.
Once the spinoff is completed, the tax issues don't end for the parent or the new company. If the spun-off company is acquired, the IRS may examine whether the merger was part of a plan that was contemplated during the spinoff process.
The agreements often give a parent company the ability to limit future acquisitions to prevent unfavorable tax consequences.
The restrictions on the future purchase of a spun-off company aren't as strict as many people think, Willens said. For example, Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc., which completed its $8.3 billion spinoff from Motorola Solutions Inc. in January 2011, is now being purchased by Google Inc.
Willens said the Google-Motorola Mobility merger will be a "watershed case" on what can happen after a spinoff even in the period when the IRS will scrutinize transactions more closely.
"Here you have very good evidence to point to when people are skeptical how quickly an acquisition can occur," he said.
The potential tax consequences of failing to complete a spinoff can be severe. Unlike individuals, corporations don't receive a preferential tax rate for capital gains.
That causes companies to be particularly cautious about ensuring they receive a favorable IRS ruling and an unqualified opinion from tax advisers, said Michael Wilder, a partner at McDermott, Will & Emery in Washington.
'Betting the Company'
"You're betting the whole company if you trip up on a spin," said Wilder, who reviewed spinoff proposals while at the IRS.
As a result, several lawyers said they were unaware of any spinoff transaction announced by a large public company that was later invalidated by the IRS.
During the process of considering a ruling, IRS officials can identify whether a proposed financing transaction would comply with the rules, said Herb Beller, an attorney at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP in Washington.
"When you're going in for a ruling, you typically want to try to smoke out through a pre-filing conference any potential issues or problems that might arise," said Beller, who teaches a course on spinoffs at Northwestern University Law School in Chicago. "If the service is uncomfortable about certain aspects of the proposed transactions, you often can modify the deal in ways that ultimately will permit a favorable ruling."

Record-chasing season concludes for l'Hydroptère.ch
by Bernard Schopfer on 7 Nov 2012

The experimental hydrofoil catamaran Hydroptère.ch has concluded its record-chasing 2012 season. Its results were exceptional, including one of the best times of all times on the Ruban Bleu course despite adverse weather conditions.
l'Hydroptère.ch, the revolutionary hydrofoil catamaran developed by the Hydros design team in Lausanne, concluded its record-chasing campaign at the end of a season packed full of experiences and achievements.
In 2012, l'Hydroptère.ch achieved the best times for all the records on Lake Geneva: hour, kilometer and Ruban Bleu (Bol d'Or course). It also beat the absolute one-hour record on July 19 with an average speed of 25.63 knots. l'Hydroptère.ch also posted the year's best time on the Ruban Bleu course on July 11 in five hours 11 minutes 46 seconds, beating its own record (from 2011) by 22 minutes, although still 18 minutes off the record itself.
'We are proud of these achievements', says Daniel Schmaeh, helmsman of l'Hydroptère.ch. 'Our overall performance has been excellent as we progressed on all fronts: we validated the changes to the boat's structure, progressed as a team, and improved our understanding of how hydrofoils work. On the other hand, the weather conditions proved capricious; there was hardly ever any bise (northern wind) and we feel there is unfinished business as the Ruban Bleu was denied us. We will resume our assault on the record next year; we know it's within our grasp.'
The l'Hydroptère.ch team, comprising Daniel Schmaeh, Jérémie Lagarrigue, Stéphane Dyen, Gaël Ledoux and Guillaume Coyon made no less than nine attempts this season, trying their luck in sometimes adverse conditions. 'These attempts allowed us to strengthen the team, and improve the handling of the boat and our knowledge of Lake Geneva', says Jérémie Lagarrigue, head of the Hydros project. 'We also greatly improved the yacht's performance.'
As a result, l'Hydroptère.ch managed to sail the Geneva – Le Bouveret course in one hour 44 minutes. On July 19, l'Hydroptère.ch was about to round the Bouveret mark, after one hour 20 minutes of sailing when its starboard hull broke, putting an end to the attempt. The hull then got repaired in a month by the Hydros team, the Décision SA and Multiplast boatyards thus demonstrating the Hydros technical team's formidable capacity to react.
Thierry Lombard, the initiator of the Hydros project and owner of l'Hydroptère.ch, has supported the development of flying yachts since 2005. Today the world's fastest sailboats, as well as the multihulls involved in the America's Cup, sail with foils, thus confirming his original vision. 'It makes me very proud to see how far the Hydros team has come', he declared. 'l'Hydroptère.ch has allowed us to learn more about the basic technology of flying boats. We are now at the forefront of developing these processes of the future, thus continuing our pioneering spirit.'
l'Hydroptère.ch will have a few more outings up to the end of November to make some tests and some more progress for next season. It will then be stored until the beginning of next year's record hunting season on Lake Geneva, in March 2013.

AbstractHypersonic propulsion systems are characterized by high Mach number gas flows over vehicle surfaces and internal ducts. The flow often includes shock waves, shear layers, vortices, and separated flows. The ability to measure surface quantities such as pressure and skin friction on a hypersonic inlet model would provide increased insight into the complex flow characteristics that govern inlet performance. Unfortunately, nonintrusive sensors require optical access that has been difficult to obtain. Optical sensors for measurements of pressure (Fast Pressure Sensitive Paint), skin friction (Surface Stress Sensitive Films), and velocity (Particle Image Velocimetry) offer non-intrusive measurements on surfaces and in flows, exactly the capability that is needed to study hypersonic inlets. Unfortunately, the size of the cameras and light sources that are used in these systems have precluded their use in regions like an internal duct. During the past several years, camera and LED technology has evolved dramatically resulting in small packages for both imaging and illumination. Combining this new hardware with state-of-the-art optical technology for fast PSP, S3F, and PIV measurements will result in a set of sensors that can be miniaturized and utilized for non-intrusive measurements of pressure, skin friction, and velocity in traditionally inaccessible regions of the model. BENEFIT: There is considerable interest in measurements of unsteady pressure, velocity, and skin friction for evaluation of computational models and study of flow physics on hypersonic inlets, compressors, artificial hearts, and other wind tunnel models and flows with limited optical access. This system will provide advancement of the state-of-the-art in this field as the proposed research will develop a system for the measurement of continuous distributions of skin friction and pressure, and velocity in the flow, using a miniaturized imaging system for data acquisition. This miniaturized imaging package, and the associated tools should be useful for a variety of fluid studies from hypersonic inlets and low speed wind tunnels to biological flows.

27-3-2011, We have 3 online achievements boosters + boosting tips
Update on 3rd April, with great help from Der Mentalist, Drugrim, I finally got all online achievements of AC6.
To anyone who want to boost, Drugrim and Der Mentalist have already got all Battle Royales. Both can still boost Team Battles and Siege Battles
For Team Battles, only the ONE person in the winning team (confirmed by Der Mentalist), with the highest score, can get ONE WIN (those in the winning team but at second or third highest scores CANNOT get a win). Therefore, for those in the winning team, they MUST ALL get EQUAL points.
For Battle Royales, according to previous players in this forum (as well as our testing), EQUAL SCORE counts as WINS (even everyone gets 0 points as how we did it), so basically everyone needs not shoot anything at all, and everyone can ALL get a win. Therefore, Battle Royales take only half of the time needed for Team Battles.
For Siege Battles, like Team Battles, those in the winning team MUST ALL get EQUAL points (we tested ourselves). Use CFA-44 Nosferatu to crash, not F22, as the time penalty is 39s instead of 30s, making the boosting 30% faster. The more players on one side to crash, the faster a round would end. As for 3 players, it downs to 11mins per round.
AC6 boosting is a very long progress, especially Siege Battles, but with constant boosting, bit by bit every day, nothing is impossible. To give everyone a rough idea how long it takes, I started boosting on 12nd March, and with around 3 to 4 hours a day, I got all online achievements on 2nd April, taking about 3 weeks.
You are poorly misinformed about Siege and Team Battles. Everyone on the winning team gets a win. It does not matter how many points each individual scores, all points go towards the team score, thus everyone on the winning team earns a win.
You are correct about Battle Royale though. As long as no one scores any points, all players will earn a win.
I experienced it myself, confirming from another player Der Mentalist as well. Only the one with highest score in the winning team can get a win, and I counted all my wins myself and I found out that myself. Even when I was in the winning team, and counted 50wins in team, I didn't get the achievement as I got 2nd highest point in several rounds.
Who is actually misinformed? You want to argue with someone who had first-hand experience or what?

The ancient Christian church understood that for believers, resurrected life didn't start after death; it had already begun. It was not something simply to be anticipated and looked forward to, but to be experienced now. And this belief was reflected chiefly in the church's early baptismal rites, its celebration of the Eucharist, and its daily prayer—particularly its frequent repetition of the Our Father.
Taking a cue from Paul (Rom 6), the early Christian writers associated this "resurrected" experience with the reception of baptism. Indeed, in the early church it was nearly universally held that baptism was absolutely necessary for the Christian to participate in resurrected life. The chief scriptural anchor here was John 3:5, where Jesus admonishes Nicodemus: "No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit."
Before they were baptized, candidates were understood to have been hopelessly trapped in an alliance with hell, locked into a covenant with the forces of evil and death. Only baptism could liberate them from their fearsome predicament. Today, many Christians are familiar with this understanding, communicated as it is through catechetical and religious-studies courses. But less well known or understood is the degree to which the early practices for inducting the baptized were rooted in the Judaism of the time.

Interstate Highway Counties
I requested an additional account on the Mob Rule county counting website recently. I'd been planning a couple of trips for 2016, including one focused primarily on adding new counties to my lifetime tally in an obscure geographic corner of Appalachia. I'd been using the spare account to calculate "what-if" scenarios and I didn't want to disturb my existing map in the process. Twelve Mile Circle readers will likely see maps generated by this account over the coming months and years as I chart further adventures.
It occurred to me that I will need to hit backroads a lot more often as I fill in the blanks and doughnut holes in my personal capture map. Those will diminish my pace although they will also allow me to experience out-of-the-way places where few people tread. It made me wonder exactly how much of the United States one would miss using only the Interstate Highway System. It wasn't a question that demonstrated any greater practical purpose although that never stopped Twelve Mile Circle from going down a rabbit hole before. It wasn't completely pointless I rationalized, because the results could be used to separate the "easy" counties from the more difficult ones, roughly speaking. Amateur county counties would stick primarily to the Interstate Highways while the truly dedicated hunters such as myself would need to veer into the empty white spaces. I supposed it made me feel more serious about my pursuit by separating me from the pack. It fed into the mythology of not being able to truly appreciate the United States until exiting the highways.
Naturally, I began by making a map of counties served by Interstate Highways, both two-digit and three-digit. Readers would probably want to open the image in another tab to get the full-sized image.
I couldn't guarantee that I marked every county served by an Interstate Highway because I created this manually — I was still finding new ones that I'd missed hours after I thought I'd fnished it — although this should be close. Please feel free to offer corrections and I'll update the map. For those wondering about the odd title, "Travels of T. H. Driver, " that was simply my initials plus the word Driver. I had to give the dummy account a name and that seemed as good as anything.
One of the features of Mob Rule that I've enjoyed over the years is its simple statistics to catalog counties visited by state. It produced a nice summary table of counties visited and percentages of states covered. I placed those data into a Google Docs Spreadsheet that readers should feel free to review if interested. Mob rule assumed everyone knew the 2-letter postal code abbreviations for each state so I can't help you if you don't know them because I didn't feel like typing them out. Wikipedia provided a nice cross-reference. I sorted states by percentage completed from highest to lowest although one could rearrange the table in reverse order, alphabetically, or whatever might be desired and it won't harm the underlying document.
Some observations jumped out. For example, county counters who stuck solely to Interstate Highways wouldn't even visit half of the counties in the United States. The total would hit 44% but who's counting? The chart also sifted winners from losers. I discarded the District of Columbia's 100% although it was considered both a state and a county for county counters (in reality neither) because it was such a specialized case. Discounting that, Interstate Highways served 7 of 8 counties (87.5%) in Connecticut for the top spot, ranging all the way down to 16 of 77 counties (17.2%) for Nebraska at the bottom. Results followed intuitive patterns. Small northeastern states with large populations contained numerous Interstate Highways. Large, expansive Great Plains states with smaller populations featured fewer of them. New York and Pennsylvania posted particularly impressive results given the number of counties contained within each of them, hitting above 70 percent.
There were some anomalies. Someone would likely mention the paradox of Interstate Highways in Hawaii so I'll simply link to the Federal Highway Administration's explanation (i.e., "the Interstate System is more than just a series of connected highways. It is also a design concept") and get that out of the way. The same condition existed in Alaska although the roads weren't signed as Interstate Highways (I included all of the so-called Secret Interstates too).
However, I'd been unaware of the bizarre disconnected set of Interstate Highways in the southernmost tip of Texas, Brownsville and McAllen. They formed a rough U-shape, outlined by I-69E, I-2 and I-69C (for central?). One would need to hop a plane or drive through Mexico to capture these Interstate counties without disturbing non-Interstate counties surrounding them, which nobody would ever do because it would be absurd.
I enjoyed the exercise even if it didn't serve much of a useful purpose. It did confirm to me that Interstate counties were visited more frequently in general than non-Interstate counties, not that there was an underlying controversy. That could be observed quite easily when comparing the map I created with Mob Rule's composite map of all county counters. The patterns looked strikingly similar.

I'm new to WordPress and am not a coder. I'm looking for help getting a blog set up and learning the basics of how to maintain it and change it once in a while.
I'm looking for someone in NYC who might walk me through some things in person (I learn best that way). I'm willing to buy you a beverage and pay you for your help.
I'm looking at some blog set-up, how to create an original template, and then do some database set-up. If anyone can recommend someone (or themselves), that would be terrific. Please shoot me an email at email@example.com.
My apologies if this isn't the correct place for this post. After over a week of trying to find someone, I'm running out of ideas. Many thanks!

I am unable to take any more snapshots of a particular project of mine in XCode. If I try to create a snapshot, it says 'Creating snapshot ..' in the status bar and goes on forever. I then force quit the Xcode, relaunch and try creating a snapshot again. This time it straight away gives the error message '..remove file manually .. ...lock'. So I then remove the shown file using the rm command in terminal. And then I again try creating the snapshot and the same cycle continues.
How can I fix this issue?
I had been taking snapshots for this project for a long time and one day had to delete all the old snapshots as I suddenly realized that they are taking up 12+ GB! Even now if I try to create a snapshot for this project it reaches 3 GB in a few minutes and then I force-quit it. (I am pretty certain this used to work perfectly until some time back and didn't take gigabytes in space.)

Ancient site unearthed in Iraqi home of AbrahamTHE Associated Press | April 05,2013BAGHDAD British archaeologists said Thursday they have unearthed a sprawling complex near the ancient city of Ur in southern Iraq, home of the biblical Abraham.
The structure, thought to be about 4,000 years old, probably served as an administrative center for Ur, around the time Abraham would have lived there before leaving for Canaan, according to the Bible.
The compound is near the site of the partially reconstructed Ziggurat, or Sumerian temple, said Stuart Campbell of Manchester Universitys Archaeology Department, who led the dig.
This is a breathtaking find, Campbell said, because of its unusually large size roughly the size of a football pitch, or about 260 feet on each side. The archaeologist said complexes of this size and age were rare.
It appears that it is some sort of public building. It might be an administrative building, it might have religious connections or controlling goods to the city of Ur, he told The Associated Press in a phone interview from the U.K.
The complex of rooms around a large courtyard was found 12 miles from Ur, the last capital of the Sumerian royal dynasties whose civilization flourished 5,000 years ago.
Campbell said one of the artifacts they unearthed was a 3.5-inch clay plaque showing a worshipper wearing a long, fringed robe, approaching a sacred site.
Beyond artifacts, the site could reveal the environmental and economic conditions of the region through analysis of plant and animal remains, the archaeological team said in a statement.MORE IN Wire NewsPHILADELPHIA On the heels of a tumultuous Republican convention, Hillary Clinton hopes her...

The Closing of the Muslim Mind: How Intellectual Suicide Created the Modern Islamist Crisis

4.0 out of 5 stars
Strong while grounded in history
Oct. 8 2011
This review is from:
The Closing of the Muslim Mind: How Intellectual Suicide Created the Modern Islamist Crisis (Paperback)
Anyone who has ever held an opinion about Islam owes it to themselves to read the first sections of this book. As long as Reilly sticks to the historical development of Islamic thought, this book is compelling and solid. Without a doubt, the current face of modern Islamic intellectual thought derives from the centuries of theological and philosophical debate that this book presents so very well. Indeed, history's explanation for the fact that there is no longer any significant debate and very little room for dissent from the received orthodoxy is made clear. (Consider, for example, the fact that the works of the famous twelfth-century Moslem philosopher Abu'l-Walid Ibn Rushd [Averroes] come to us only through medieval Christian transmission.) In later chapters, however, attempts to explore the implications of this historical outcome are certainly interesting, but slip away from the rigorous and careful treatment that made the historical portion of this work so valuable.

"Perspective" is the key word
Oct. 8 2011
This review is from:
Intellectual Curiosity and the Scientific Revolution: A Global Perspective (Paperback)
In essence, this book is a book of data -- not polemic, not argument, not spin... data. And the data points to an interesting historical position, a position that contradicts a great deal of modern "education". That's what makes the book so much fun. Again and again and again, the *data* indicates that what we've been taught in our schools is simply false. It isn't crystal clear exactly what the best explanation for the data is (and Huff avoids heavy-handed attempts to provide alternatives), but the wide-spread idea that scientific thinking is universal to the human race is, frankly, anti-scientific: that is, it flies in the face of the historical evidence. Providing that evidence in a lively and readable manner, this book is an delightful read and an excellent resource.
The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul

better than I thought...!
Jan. 28 2009
This review is from:
The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul (Hardcover)
There is a lot of good material in this book. And this material is typically presented clearly and fairly. Why, then, does it get these nasty reviews? Because there are folk that have all their religious impulses invested in the materialism that this book has the audacity to question!
A large part of the book first exposes the failure of most recent serious attempts at the dismissal of RSMEs (religious/spiritual/mystical experiences). There is nothing objectionable here. The authors are correct that notions of "God gene" and the like are laughable.
Then there is a brief exploration of a few things unexplained-by-materialism: how mind can change brain, the "psi" effect, the "placebo" effect, and NDEs (near death experiences). While I am somewhat skeptical of "psi" stuff (which is too easy to fake for my tastes), the other three really have no adequate materialist explanation.
Finally, after much foreshadowing and build-up, the book describes experiments conducted on Carmelite contemplatives. What the experiments actually show is that RSMEs are complex. They are not "made up". They are the product of a healthy brain. That's it. Hardly demonstration of the existence of a soul. Talk about an over-stated case!
So with such a let-down, why the four stars? The book is very well written. It presents its case, as well as the "opposing" case, carefully and fairly (fairness to the opposition is always worth an extra star, it is so rare these days). Finally, it provides sufficient good facts to make anyone but a "true believer" in materialism appreciate the shortcomings of that philosophical position.
Blank Slate

3.0 out of 5 stars
dude! stick with what you know...
Jan. 22 2004
This review is from:
Blank Slate (Hardcover)
Pinker attempts to do four things in "The Blank Slate":
1. demolish "the blank slate" concept
2. demolish "the noble savage" concept
3. demolish "the ghost in the machine" concept
4. use statistics according to Disraeli.
Strawman-baiting notwithstanding, Pinker makes a good show toward his first two goals. He only deserves partial credit, however, as those ideas have far outlasted their intrinsic value and deserve the burial he gleefully supplies.
Unfortunately for Pinker, the same cannot be said of "the ghost in the machine". That it should be conflated with the previous two over-ripe ideas is odd. While the "ghost" has appeared in many dubious incarnations, some of which Pinker uses as foils, "the ghost in the machine" can be reduced to the idea that "there is something about human nature that is beyond our ability to understand (AKA 'science')". Put in those terms, the concept resists sophisticated attempts at dismissal, let alone the light-weight ones Pinker employs. A clause like "we have every reason to believe that" (consciousness [derives from] neural networks in the brain - p.240) really means "we cannot conceive other than that" or "our faith affirms that". Apparently, what should be obvious is not: science is unable to define its own limits.
Pinker also gets the proverbial raspberry for playing fast-and-loose with statistics in the final chapters. At least he is honest enough to mitigate his stance with some necessary caveats. He admits that prizing apart genetics and environment can be a tricky business. He admits that the adopting demographic has huge correlation within it. He mentions the crucial differences between "determines/affects" and "variance/outcome" but appears to have trouble interpreting these differences on occasion. He mentions the necessity of systematic influence. He could have mentioned the sample set size problem for twins-reared-apart studies, studies that have shown as much as 25% environmental influence, linearity and independence assumptions, free will as a source of measurement noise, etc. I suppose that the glosses were made in an attempt to make the whole more accessible to the masses, but the end result is that conclusions derive more from the assumptions than from the evidence itself.
Finally, Pinker also indulges in the just-so-story-making that true believers have gobbled up throughout history. Passive? Aggressive? Got them both covered. Ethical? Violent? No problem. We can "explain" them both with ease. If a theory can explain any two conflicting phenomena without so much as a flinch, it is non-falsifiable and hence non-scientific.
Bottom line: I learned precious little about human nature from this book. Plenty about the foibles of academia, the politics of science, and the inertia of dogma -- but I was already familiar with all those topics. Recognizing this weakness in his book, Pinker defers, in closing, to the real experts on human nature: poets and novelists. Wanna learn about human nature? Read Tolstoy, Austen, Dickens, Hardy, Dostoevsky...

blind man describes the rainbow
July 20 2001
This review is from:
Doctor Copernicus (Paperback)
I find it amazing that a writer with so little understanding or respect (let alone appreciation) for science and religion should choose Nicolas Copernicus as a suitable subject for a novel. We are only given the briefest glimpse of Copernicus's scientific endeavours, and even less of his faith. Excuse me, but without these crucial elements, one cannot pretend to say anything at all about this man's life.
My mistake! The author has no intention of actually _saying anything_. Rather, Banville wants to use a pathetic caricature of Nicolas Copernicus as a foil for his own semi-coherent philosophical agenda. By dismissing the search for the "thing in itself" (correctly identified by the author as one of the motivations of modern science), Banville has no pressing need to do justice to the "things" that characterize good historical literature. History? Who needs it? It is what I say about it that matters. Human nature? Just an illusion! I, the omnipotent author, can recreate man in my own image.
Because he can, that is precisely what John Banville does. And it isn't pretty. By using the loathesome Andreas as his true voice, John Banville gives the game away: "Yes! Yes! I will be revenged!" The reader is only left to guess for what pathetic grudges Andreas (and Banville) requires his revenge. If only he had not taken that revenge out on the readers of his pompous creation.
Cry the Beloved Country.

5.0 out of 5 stars
June 1 2001
This review is from:
Cry the Beloved Country. (Paperback)
Cry, the Beloved Country is an authentic expression of hope in a bleak climate of despair. The characters are human. Their experiences are sheer misery, and their responses are not particularly heroic. Through it all, the reader is sustained by the vision of a redemptive truth at work in one of the deepest hells of the present century.
Alan Paton unquestionably attributes this truth to a personal God. At the same time, Paton believes that his God expressed Himself in the lives of weak and selfish creatures like ourselves. Thus, even if the reader prefers to maintain a humanist stance, Cry, the Beloved Country will resonate as its characters grapple with the primal struggles of all humanity.
Cry, the beloved century. I did.

Sampson vs. the Philistines
Jan. 7 2000
This review is from:
Educating Eve (Perfect Paperback)
In "Educating Eve", Geoffrey Sampson rips into the Chomsky-Pinker camp of language theory in a manner somewhat reminiscent of a Philosophy sophomore's dismissal of Christianity. Are Sampson's points valid? Yes. Are they well-presented? Yes. Do they fairly represent his opposition? Well...not exactly (Sampson proves equal to Pinker in the wanton construction of strawmen). Do they provide any substantive alternative besides the less-than-impressive agnosticism? No, in spite of protests to the contrary.
At least that's the story for most of the book. Sensing, perhaps, that his agnostic position is insufficient to generate the reader enthusiasm for which he envies Pinker, Sampson goes out on a limb in his final chapter. In it, the word "incoherent" resonates. While his position here (with respect to human creative ability) is perfectly coherent, his arguments are not. By making clipped reference to all manner of personal and academic material, Sampson fails miserably to make his final point accessible. By the end, even this interested, patient, and sympathetic reader couldn't care less.
Valuable reading, taken with a grain of salt.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Retired Bishop State Community College
technical dean Harry Holloway has settled his federal lawsuit
accusing the school of making him a "scapegoat" for its financial
Holloway, who had worked for the college for 22 years, announced
his retirement after the settlement was reached.
Then-Bishop State President Yvonne Kennedy reprimanded Holloway
in 2007 for his alleged role in a scandal in the college's culinary
arts program.
Holloway sued, claiming he had nothing to do with those problems
and alleged he was accused because of race. Kennedy is black, and
Holloway is white.
Attorneys in the case recently submitted a notice asking that
all claims be dismissed, with each side bearing its own costs.
Bishop State President James Lowe says he's glad it was settled,
declining further comment.

A friend wants to split the club. Price wise it seems like a deal but I have no idea about the quality of the wines. Any thoughts?
I did it, it sucked.
I did the Zagat club, it also sucked (I believe they are actually one and the same).
Zagat called me a few months ago with a new offer, 15 bottles for $90 delivered to rejoin. I got them for office drinkers, and even my friends at the office, who by and large are not that wine savvy, agreed that so far (over half way through the 15 bottles) they've pretty much all sucked. Seems to be mostly a way to dump bulk wine. You'd do better to go for random bottles under $10/bottle at TJ's IMH.
Thanks for the opinions guys. Very helpful.

I looked at the wines in the initial case that they are advertising and everything was in the $10-16 range online and were for the most part widely available in wine shops. While you may save money on them the better question is do you actually want them.
this really started from a wine berserker thread but there seems to be a steady group of folks gathering at the Domaine DC storage lounge facility on saturdays just to chill out.... just wanted to give the woot folks a heads up if you want to come and chill

Immunizations Schedules and Recommendations
If you have a child who will begin kindergarten this year (2015), she/he probably needs a DTaP and polio booster, as well as a second varicella vaccine. All of our clinics stock all recommended childhood, adolescent, and adult vaccines.
Along with your kindergartener, your teenager may need additional vaccines as well—all 11-18 year olds need a Tdap, at least one Menactra vaccine to prevent meningitis, and three "Human Papilloma Virus" vaccines—this is often referred to as the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccine gives lifetime protection against the viruses that cause cervical cancer and other genital cancers and warts. Your teen may also need a second varicella, if this vaccine wasn't given earlier.
To find our clinics, visit our Clinic Locations page or call our Immunization Scheduling Line at 385-468-SHOT (7468)
For complete information on immunizations schedules and recommendations for children, adolescents, and adults, visit the Immunize Utah website.
Parental Consent Forms for Minors
If an unaccompanied minor (16 or 17 years old) will be visiting a clinic for a PPD (tuberculosis skin test), the minor's parent or guardian should send the minor with the following completed form:
- Parental Consent Form for PPD (English)
- Formulario de Consentimiento de los Padres para el PPD (Español)

Walking in the Savior's footsteps is what makes the two years of infinite worth. Fortunately, the "handful of successes" includes improving yourself and benefiting an eternal family.

The cartoon sounds like someone who served his mission begrudgingly and didn't give it 100%. Anyone I know who serves a mission wholeheartedly doesn't have to "convince themselves" it was the best two years of their lives up to that point because it was. Perhaps his attempt at humor is actually a Freudian slip.

1 success will multiply into and endless amount. Joseph Smith was 1 convert and
now there are 15 million currently alive because of his conversion story. The
truth is something that will always continue on, so every time even one person
will hear it, it is a great victory.
Or perhaps it sounds like someone who is making a joke with common phrases? Just saying, I'm not sure it was meant negatively.

OneAmerican - I didn't get the begrudingly undertone either. To me the cartoon is a reflection of looking back on any major life experience -- whether that be mission, college, marriage or parenting. You know in advance from anecdotal discussion that it will be tough but you don't really know for yourself. And you want to do it because you believe that it is right for you. Reflecting after the experience, you recognize both the challenges and the rewards and you acknowledge that the rewards were greater than the many challenges. But I think you're reaching (and reflecting your own feelings) if you read into the cartoon that he went begrudgingly.

Where to begin? I went on my Mission because I knew it was what the Savior wanted me to do. I was taught extensively to rely upon the Spirit of the Lord to guide me in all that I do. I was also taught to keep the commandments and to stay in tune with the Spirit of the Lord, so that I would be receptive to promptings of the Spirit. I was taught that in teaching and contacting people (the Lord's children) that the Spirit of the Lord would lead me, and that He would open minds and hearts to hear and receive His message. I was also taught that IF conversion took place, that it was as a result of the promptings of the Holy Spirit of God, and that ALL glory goes to the Most High God. As a result, when I came home from my wonderful 2 year mission, it was, has been, and may always be, the best 2 years of my entire adult life! To me, nothing compares to complete devotion to the service of our Father in Heaven and His children! I am redeemed, and my mission is a testimony of my redemption!

Spot on cartoon, those that claim this is a negative cartoon wear rose colored
glasses. Face it, if your working and doing what you're suppose too, its
95% difficult work.
But the other 5% makes it well worth it.

One man we didn't baptize while I was on my mission, although we did baptize his wife and daughter, later on became baptized and was called to be stake president. Small successes do multiply greatly.

I've always been leery of the "best two years" catchphrase. It sounds too much like something you have to say to get a date in Provo. I certainly hope that my mission was not the best two years of my life. I would call it a very rewarding two years in which I served honorably, learned much, and did my very best most of the time (thanks be to God for having mercy on my human shortcomings). But now, nearly a decade later with a wife and soon to be family, I've seen better. Much better. I am by leaps and bounds a better person than I was then, and I really hope that another 10 years from now I will look back on today and say something similar. If you have been home from your mission for more than two years, and you still call your mission the "best two years" of your life, you need to rethink your trajectory. Life is about progression, not reliving the "glory days" because of a false sense of spirituality. You aren't "done" when you get home--you are just beginning.

100% Engaged in The Work, that brings the best two years of anyone's life. No greater privilege than to be able to say you are a "personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ." None.

I got frustrated in managing the TNSNAMES.ORA for more than 300+ users using various Oracle DB versions 9i up to v11, usually I send email for all of the users to manually copy and update the TNSNAMES.ora
So I wonder If implementing Oracle Internet Directory is the proper way to do it?
- Is it free ?
- What is the prerequisite and the limitations ?
- Can I use it for both Oracle Server in Windows Server and Unix install ?
My understanding is that OID is like DNS to the computer systems.
Any kind of comments and help would be greatly appreciated.

Destroyed by grindcore
posted by October 7 at 2:16 PMon
Tonight, if you want to get destroyed by grindcore, Cephalic Carnage is playing at El Corazon (show starts at 8).
They're one of those heavy-ass bands that's way into smoking weedand they're quite vocal about it. I find that to be kind of dorky, but they rock nonetheless. (There seems to be a genre of it, which I guess I'm way into, although I don't smoke weed. Once I saw El Dopa, a favorite of mine, and they dedicated songs to weed, were tattooed with pot leaves, and had pot leaves on their hats. Nerds.) Cephalic Carnage have this album called Halls of Amenti that is insanely sludgy, heavy, and epic. It's the only album of theirs that I own or have heard, so when I saw them last year at the last day of a three-day metal fest in SF, I was pleasantly surprised that they also rock in a faster, metal kind of way.

During the last year, in addition to the routine followed in the metabolic wards of the University Hospital in the care and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, we have attempted to determine the cause and conditions leading to the rapid loss or gain of weight in patients suffering from this disease. Any one working with diabetes has been surprised to note the gain in weight of certain types of patients while undergoing starvation. It is not a new condition, arising entirely from1 Allen's treatment. In earlier days it was often found that patients gained weight on the "Oatmeal cures," or lost rapidly as coma approached.
Rapid loss or gain in weight, the total calories remaining at the same level, occurs in normal individuals with alterations in amount of fat, carbohydrate and protein in their diets. Joslin2 asserts that a high carbohydrate diet is apt to increase the weight and

Enviro Nuclear: Maybe Not Such a Great Idea
posted by January 25 at 11:57 AMon
As the Washington Post reported yesterday (via Grist), drought conditions produced by climate change could force nuclear power plants to scale back or shut down later this year, "because drought is drying up the rivers and lakes that supply power plants with the awesome amounts of cooling water they need to operate." Of the nation's 104 nuclear reactors, 24 are located in areas experiencing the most severe levels of drought, and all but two are located on lakes or rivers, relying on submerged pipes to draw billions of gallons of water for cooling and condensing steam. If the plants do shut down, replacement power will cost ten times as much as nuclear. Nuclear plants are not designed for the wear and tear of repeatedly stopping and starting. Whatever you think of nuclear power, it'll be pretty hard to argue that it's a panacea for climate change if, you know, it doesn't work.
Where are the two major Democratic candidates on nuclear power? Obama supports continued use of nuclear power; his sixth biggest contributor is a company called Exelon, which owns and operates more nuclear plants than any other company. Although Clinton has said she's "agnostic" about nuclear, she is also on the record as being "very skeptical that nuclear could become acceptable in most regions of the country, and I am doubtful that we have yet figured out how to deal with the waste," adding, "we should not be putting a heavy emphasis on nuclear."

Most provinces in Indonesia will be facing water scarcity problems in the next decades due to increasing water demands resulting from population growth, urbanization and economic and industrial developments. As a consequence, they will also be facing a number of problems with regards water resource management, such as a lack of data and information needed to evaluate the real status of water resources, the unsystematic development of relevant infrastructure and economic instruments, inadequate human resources for the operation and maintenance of water resources, and a lack of interest in improving research and development activities. This paper examines the application of data and information management for improved water resources management in Indonesia through "one door data service system" linked among the related institutions from different sectors and levels both at the central and regional government agencies. One of the key solutions to help solve water resource problems would therefore be to obtain supporting data and information by developing an information system and water resources data centre (WRDC). Rapid developments in information and communication technology (ICT) could be used to support data communication and management requests in order to build capacity of the water resources sector, and as a prerequisite for an integrated water resources management program. Improved efficiency and effectiveness could be achieved by making relevant data and information available, as well by establishing a communication system among related institutions. Further, provinces should also prioritize developing human and social capital through education, service delivery and career development, as well as training for water resources development and management. Data and information such as the hydrological and water quality data, information of water resources potential, irrigation areas, population and economic growth as well as the others related data need to store in both the tabular and spatial formats. The water resources data management and warehouse system is a web-enabled application that permits spatial data to be stored with tabular data in a standard database management system. This system permits a dynamic generation of output from the tabular and spatial data and enables users to generate answers to their queries online, rather than simply presenting static maps and tables from the database. The WRDC applications were developed and chosen by gathering the ideas suggested by users at the ministerial, provincial and river basin levels. Within the resulting inventory system, information was grouped into irrigation scheme system; water resources potential; natural disaster; hydrological data and station networks; and other information. For the users at the ministerial level access the system by using local area network (LAN) connections and other users at the provincial and river basin levels or elsewhere in the world can use the internet for connections and regular browser software for system operation.
