We knew this was coming, but it still hits you like a ton of bricks to see it actually happen. After a price cut, down to a measly $199 for a short time, and unlocked with no strings or contracts attached, the 8GB Nexus has been marked as out of inventory on Google Play. And it's not coming back.
When the 8GB Nexus 4 first debuted, a very vocal minority trashed it as a terrible move on Google's part. They said that 8GB of storage wasn't nearly enough without microSD expansion, that it wouldn't sell, and that Google should have made a 32GB option instead. Well, look at it now.
The 8GB Nexus 4, much like the 8GB Nexus 7, helped push the Nexus name forward. The extra storage was unnecessary for a lot of people. Producing inexpensive 8GB models made both devices much more accessible at the time. Now that Google has access to cheaper memory, storage will rise and prices will stay the same.
The 8GB Nexus 4 played a vital role during its lifespan. But it's time to get ready for better things. Starting as far back as March, we've been hearing that Motorola is working on a Nexus device. We've yet to see a lot of solid evidence for this device, but it may be hiding in plain sight. The Motorola DVX is a low cost version of the Moto X, which features a removable back. The DVX has been confirmed by Dennis Woodside, and will come in at around $200 off-contract. We've heard that the DVX is going through internal testing now, which means a launch could be right around the corner. There's a good chance the DVX could turn out to be the 2013 Nexus 4.
With the 8GB Nexus 4 already discontinued and the 16GB right behind it, we should know more about the next Nexus any day now.

Hundreds of people packed into the Council Chamber in New York City Hall on Monday evening to see Irish actor Liam Neeson accept the Thomas Manton Irish Man of the Year Award.
In a special ceremony celebrating Irish heritage and culture, New York City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn presented the Ballymena native with the award, which is named after former Congressman Thomas J Manton.
Neeson was given a standing ovation as he accepted the accolade in City Hall as part of his work with the Irish Arts Center.
The award winning actor, who is currently filming an action movie in New York, described the event as surreal.
"An hour ago, I was trying to catch two bad guys in Brooklyn," he joked.
Flanked by Irish tricolors and New York City flags, a nervous Neeson admitted that public speaking was not his area of expertise.
"There's a popular assumption that actors are very good public speakers. It's absolute B.S. It's actually my worst nightmare."
The actor expressed his gratitude to Speaker Quinn and the other honorees of the event during his brief acceptance speech.
"Let me say what an honor it is to accept this Irish Man of the Year Award or as my friend said an hour ago, 'Is that the Mick of the Millennium Award?'"
"I'm humbled to join a distinguished group of past Manton award recipients: Senators Ted Kennedy; George Mitchell; Congressman Joe Crowley and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly."
Neeson shared his final thoughts in his typically modest fashion.
"Tonight is a great example of the Irish American tradition of commitment to public service, the Irish-American commitment to community and as Christine said, helping others. I'm truly humbled, so thank you."
Monday's event had added meaning for Neeson as it coincided with the fourth anniversary of the death of his wife, actress Natasha Richardson. Richardson passed away after a skiing accident in Canada in 2009.
The Irish actor was joined by his mother-in-law, actress Vanessa Redgrave, and his teenage son Daniel for the occasion.
Other honorees of the night included Executive Director of the Emerald Isle Immigration Center Siobhan Dennehy, who accepted an award on behalf of the 'Irish Day of Action' initiative.
Almost 2,000 volunteers turned out on two separate Irish Days of Action to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy in the Rockaways and Breezy Point.
Accepting the award, Dennehy paid tribute to everyone who had pitched in to help for the Meitheal Irish Day of Action.
"I wanted to issue a special word of thanks to every single person that volunteered their time, their effort and their resources," Dennehy told the crowd.
"I share this award with each of you."
Also honored at Monday's event were Peter J.F. Meijer of Team Rubicon and Deputy Chief James McGovern of the New York City Department of Sanitation.
During the event, Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who formally announced her intention to run for New York mayor last week, paid special tribute to the generations of Irish immigrants who came to the U.S. in search of a better life.
"Tonight is also a moment for us to remember all of those who came before us and to thank them. Because it was their contributions, their hard work, their coming here with no guarantees, that has created a city for us."
The annual event, held in conjunction with Irish-American Heritage Month, also featured a performance by the cast of Tony Award winning Broadway musical Once.

|Carnegie Mellon | Robotics Institute | Field Robotics Center | USDA | Smart Farms
This project is about irrigation control and making intelligent automated decisions using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN's). WSN's can be used for precision irrigation control to reduce the amount of water and nutrients applied to the plant. This has many economic and environmental benefits including:
- Less water used for irrigation
- Less fertilizer required
- Reduced irrigation runoff into the environment
- Less crop disease
- Reduced pests
- Reduced labor for irrigating
- Increasing rate of crop growth
- Ability to monitor and manage crop in real time
- Remotely control irrigation over the internet
Advanced tools helps make WSN raw data into actionable information. Nodes are capable of controlling irrigation based on conventional schedules, local setpoint control, or more advanced plant science models.
User interface features lets the user view current data, generate dynamic plots, create alerts, and further work with the data to understand the environmental conditions that affect their crop.
This system is inexpensive for a quick return on investment (often less then 1 year!) and in use by growers and researchers alike. It is currently in use in over a dozen sites including greenhouses, container nurseries, field nurseries, hydroponics productions, and green roofs. Sensorweb has been continuously evolving and improving since 2003.
This project is part of an USDA SCRI grant to manage irrigation and nutrients via distributed sensing. By creating a team with engineers, plant scientists, and growers this system addresses the needs of the growers and researchers for maximum effect. Plant science models developed by the scientists are integrated into the system to develop the next generation of feed-forward irrigation systems that optimize water usage and decrease runoff.

Somehow, the changes announced in this Notice are supposed to help postdocs make a "more timely" transition to independence.
I think the main problem will be that reviewers are already largely biased with the mindset that a certain publication profile is necessary to make someone competitive. Meaning a certain number of papers in a certain "level" of journal. In order for the timing of this process to work, postdocs will need to start applying for the K99 in about year 2, by which time it is very unlikely that anyone but the ultra super productive (which is often aided by the good fortune of having a PI who lets you choose quick-to-paper projects over those that they might WANT you to be working on), or those in big-name labs, will have such a profile. Since reviewers won't have as lengthy of a publication record to go by, they will almost surely fall into the habit they do for every other kind of NIH grant and go instead on other aspects of the CV (and the CV of the mentor), further pushing this towards a "glamour" award. The "rich get richer" situation will be exacerbated, in contrast to what I have always seen as an advantage of the K99 award (that even the not as "fancy"--like myself in a lot of ways, lol--can have a fighting chance).
Also, year 2 is when a lot of people become most competitive for the F32, so it might become a choice between F32 or K99, which seems kind of stupid. Is F32 going to end up as some kind of consolation prize for not being fancy enough for a K99?
Not only that, but this will disproportionately disadvantage women (and men who are primary or co-primary caregivers) who have children during their postdoc years. So far, the longest extension on K99 eligibility that I have heard of anyone getting for family leave is the actual number of weeks/months they were out on parental leave. Anyone who has had a kid knows that the effect on your productivity goes FAR beyond those few weeks/months. If they want to avoid this kind of bias, they will need to get real about extension times--people should get at least a year per kid, just like in the tenure clock stoppage situation.
Lastly, I think it is paternalistic and invasive for Program to be making judgements about someone's need for a K99 award and readiness for the tenure track based on their job application timelines. A large proportion of postdocs go out on the job market before they are truly ready because their PI won't or can't pay them anymore. Making that the postdoc's FAULT by now also telling them they are no longer eligible for one of the best options to win their independence from that PI is just gross and unhelpful. This treats postdocs like they are little kids who say they want dessert now even though they didn't eat their vegetables: "Well then, you must not need any dessert because you must not be hungry." Well, guess what: your reviewers are scoring highest the people who already look ready for an independent position. So you're going to have to figure out how to get them to change their mindsets--something that so far, nobody has figured out how to do very effectively. How is that going to be reconciled with the new rule that:
"Individuals who are close to achieving an independent faculty position, and cannot make a strong case for needing a minimum of 12 months of additional mentored training, are not ideal candidates for this award"?
I wonder if they have even thought about this. I also wonder if these changes are based on any actual metrics about applicants and awardees, or just some vague, poorly thought-out knee jerk idea to make postdoc-hood shorter. If you can show me Jeremy Berg-style data demonstrating that there will be some benefit to candidates, fine--but it just doesn't look like this is going to be a good thing.

Charter: There's A Problem With Your Internet? Here's The Disconnect Department Image courtesy of
Charter Communications refused to fix Matt's internet connection. Even two technicians, dispatched by Charter, told Matt his ISP was to blame for his weak service. When Matt called customer service to complain, he was transferred immediately to the disconnect department. Matt had internet service, but, "The internet just dies. Every ten minutes or so, the internet would just die. And it's very annoying."
Charter Communications refused to fix Matt's internet connection. Even two technicians, dispatched by Charter, told Matt his ISP was to blame for his weak service. When Matt called customer service to complain, he was transferred immediately to the disconnect department. Matt had internet service, but, "The internet just dies. Every ten minutes or so, the internet would just die. And it's very annoying."
Matt's attempts to fix the problems were, how shall we say, less than successful.
CSR: Thank you for calling Charter tech support, my name is Bradley and how can I help you today?
Matt: Hi, I was calling to try to figure out where I need to go next with my service with you guys.
CSR: Try to go where…next?
Matt: Yeah, I've been having a lot of issues with my high-speed internet that you guys can't fix, so I was trying to figure out what we need to do next to escalate this problem to get it fixed correctly.
*hold music*
CSR2: This is Christy with Charter, how can I help you?
Matt: Hi, what happened to the other guy that I was just talking to?
CSR2: That I'm not sure sir, the call just came in to me. I'm in the disconnect department, were you wanting to disconnect your service today?
Matt: Wow, are you kidding me? No, could you please put me back in tech support?
CSR2: For internet?
Matt: Uh-huh.
CSR2: Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. I wonder why they transferred you over here.
This was the latest in a series of slights Matt experienced over two months trying to fix his internet service. There was a problem in the line somewhere between his house and Charter's central server. Charter was to blame, according to the techs dispatched by Charter. Matt began recording his calls to customer service.
Matt was paying $80 per month for a 10MB connection. The first tech visited Matt's house to check the signals and equipment. He determined the problem was not in Matt's house. Charter decided to dispatch a second tech, a tech supervisor with a laptop.
Matt raced home from work for his 5pm-8pm appointment. The tech with the magical laptop never showed. At 9pm Matt called Charter, only to be told the tech supervisor with the laptop was not really a supervisor, but a contractor. Matt replied: "The contractor let Charter down. Charter let me down." Ouch.
For his trouble, Charter issued a $20 credit and flagged the problem as a "must do." How committal. Another tech was scheduled for an all-day Saturday appointment. That tech didn't show, either.
Furious, Matt called back again and received another credit and another appointment. This time, the tech appeared and promptly blamed Charter for the problems.
Matt called again:
CSR: Alright, bear with me just a second. They're wanting to conference call me through the phone here. Give me just a minute, I'll be back with you.
CSR: Right now they're asking me if anybody will be home between 8 am and noon on Friday morning.
Matt: No, why are they wanting to send somebody out?
CSR: Let me see here.
Matt: You guys have already sent two techs out that have said it's not on my end, so why are we still coming back to my house?
CSR: Alright, give me just another minute here. Alright, what they tell me is that he wants to send somebody out because if the tech does not fix the problem right now, the only thing we can actually do is send somebody out to reassess the issue again.
Matt: Yeah, the tech is saying the issue is not fixable from here. This is out on like the backbone on Charter's network somewhere. This isn't at my house. The only thing that tech does is check my levels, check my modem, that's it. Everything's fine. The levels at the street are fine, the levels at my house are fine. They switched out the modem, it's not the modem. There's nothing else that tech's going to do. I was specifically told that by the last tech that was sent out here. He didn't understand while he was being sent out again. Why are we wasting my time sending another tech out?
CSR: I just gave them that information, give me another minute. Give me another minute, they're contacting me again. Alright, Matt? What they told me is they have actually gotten word, they contacted dispatch to see what was going on, the dispatch told them that they had checked the server on the issue and the server is not the issue, that it's either got to be neutral there or in the neighborhood.
Matt: Okay. Wow, this is like really pathetic. That's not the issue. Anyone who knows anything about trace route knows that the issue's not here. Trace route sends a packet out of my house to you guys, it's not getting to you guys. So the network is not here, it's on Charter.
CSR: Right, he's saying that it's somewhere more than likely toward the neighborhood or neutral to that location.
Matt: Okay, then what does he need to come to my house for?
CSR: I'm not really sure on that, any trouble call appointments at all they always need to make sure that somebody's available.
Matt: Okay, so tell me this: What are you guys going to do when the third guy comes out to my house and says yet again that the issue's not on my end. What then? You guys going to send another tech out to my house? When does it end?
CSR: I mean, that's really the only thing that we can do from the tech support is send a technician out. Your local area is really responsible for getting that taken care of for you when they do come out. I mean the only thing that we have the accessibility to do is just go to the local office and say we need a tech out for this issue.
Matt: I mean this is like really pathetic. So I'm stuck in this loop of calling you guys when the tech comes out and says it's not a problem here. There's gotta be something we can escalate it to, there's gotta be somebody that knows something about networks that can come out to my house and fix this. This is like the biggest waste of time I've ever seen. This has been going on for two months, now I'm going to have to sit home again from work for you guys to come out here and say yeah the levels are find, this is all I can do as a tech.
CSR: Alright, give me just a minute here and I'm going to talk to them one more time. Alright, sir? Thanks for holding for me. I gave them all the information that you said, the only thing they can do is the tech would have to go back out and check everything again because it's nothing in the actual server.
Matt: This isn't an issue on a server, this is an issue on like a cisco switch on Charter's network somewhere.
CSR: Right, that's what I'm saying, they traced everything in the network and there's nobody else in the area having the problem, so they say that if nobody else is having the problem, there's gotta be something more neutral there. Or there's gotta be something- because it wouldn't only be affecting you if it was an actual system server problem.
Charter might be onto something. Instead of going through those horrific voice activated menus, you could have two options: tech, or no tech. Another tech, though, would not solve Matt's problem.
Matt: This is awesome. I mean, what would you do? This is insane, you guys want to send a third tech out here that's going to- so what are you going to do when a third tech comes out here and says it's not on my end? Then what? You want me to tell him no?
CSR: The only thing that I can do is send a tech out. With it being something that's out in the area and not anything to do with the actual signals or anything, there's nothing that I can do to repair that. Except for send a technician out.
Matt: So what do you want me to tell the technician? He can't leave until this is fixed then?
CSR: I'm not really sure that, I mean, the best people to talk to in this case would honestly be your local office because they're the one that handles anything to do with the area issues or any server issues or any system issues at all. All we can do in this center is just send the technician out.
Matt: How do I talk to my local office then?
CSR: You actually have to go down there and do a formal complaint in person.
Matt: They don't have a phone number?
CSR: Right, they don't have a phone number because it all comes through the tech support.
Matt: Okay, where is this local office that doesn't have a phone apparently? I mean do you not see how this is the worst customer service on this planet?
CSR: Right, I mean I understand the ongoing issues are definitely frustrating, there's just nothing that anybody in this call center can do.
Matt: So I'm having a tech support issue and you guys can't fix it, is what you're telling me?
CSR: Right, I mean there's no way that I can fix your lining problem from here.
Matt: Right, I understand that but you guys had two chances to come out here and fix it, and have failed.
CSR: Right, and that's your local office. I mean the only thing that we can do is send a dispatch flash to your local office to get a technician out there. They have to take care of everything else from there.
Maybe the local office has the magical laptop? Probably not if they don't have a phone.
The issue began in September and is still unresolved. Have you gotten into a finger-pointing war with your ISP? Tell us about it in the comments. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER

2013 Chevrolet Silverado: New Car Review Video
Since the 2012 Silverado was such a hit with only minor changes, the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 picks up where the other left off. Utilizing the same three cab configurations, four trim levels, three V8 engines, five suspension systems and the only hybrid powertrain available in a pickup, no one can overlook Chevy's oldest platform.
Even though an all-new Silverado is due out in 2014, with recent makeovers to both the Ford F150 and RAM pickups, Chevy had to make sure loyal customers didn't choose another manufacturer based on updates. Using what has worked in the past, Chevy has simply kept something for every one of the several hundred thousand buyers who purchase a Silverado each year.
Utilizing the same cab configurations as the 2012 model, the 2013 Silverado offers plenty of room inside. Even though the finish does look slightly dated compared to the F150 and RAM, the Silverado's cabin is based squarely on what trim level you go with.
Starting with the WT and LS packages, the interior is geared more toward work assignments, while the LT and LTZ layouts serve up more comfort and conveniences, such as dual-zone climate control, premium cloth or leather seating and, in the extended cabs, a flip-up split bench seat.
Also, depending on the trim, a small selection of interior features and options are available, including a choice of various CD/DVD/MP3 capable audio systems, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, Sirius/XM Radio and GM's OnStar system.
For regular and extended-cab Silverado 1500 models, you can order either a standard or long bed configuration and add secure storage, bed liners or a tool box from the factory.
Engines available for the 2013 Silverado include one V6, a 4.3-liter and three V8 engines, including a 4.8-liter, 5.3-liter and the powerful 6.2-liter. A hybrid version is also available that utilizes a 6.0-liter gas engine and an electric motor combination. All engines are mated to an automatic transmission, either a 4- or 6-speed, based on engine size. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while 4-wheel drive is available.
If choosing an engine wasn't hard enough, the 2013 Silverado also offers five different suspension setups. And, depending on which suspension and powertrain you choose, the Silverado 1500 can carry as much as one ton and tow a hefty 10,700 pounds.
When comparing all the engines, the 2013 Silverado receives 12 miles per gallon city and 18 mpg highway. However, the 2013 Silverado Hybrid does get an average of 20 mpg city/23 mpg hwy.
Prices for this oldie-but-goodie start at only $23,590 for the base regular cab, short bed, rear-wheel-drive 1500 WT with the V6 engine. However, you'll be looking north of $41,000 for the Crew Cab Hybrid version. All configurations include a 5-year or 100,000-mile warranty.
Even though the new F150 and RAM might look prettier, the Silverado remains a perennial favorite with pickup truck owners, and with good reason: The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado can be built pretty much any way you want.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Street Sweeper
Head over to Manny's place on the west side of Bohan. When you arrive, he'll be with his cameraman friend (of course), as well as, of all people, an LCPD officer. How strange. Anyway, after the police officer leaves, Manny will explain to Niko that there's an important job he has lined up for the taking. Since Roman and Niko are down and out, any job that pays well is fine... and Manny pays well, indeed.
When you regain control, boost a car (if you don't already have one waiting for you outside the community center) and head east across Bohan to Windmill Street. Naturally, the GPS will get you to your location easily, so simply follow it to your destination. When you arrive at this auto body shop, you'll be assailed by numerous armed thugs. Your main concern here, however, should be to take out the car that's speeding away. Kill who you can at the auto body shop from the outset, but ignore any residuals once the car takes off. Chasing that car and gunning down the foes inside will suddenly become your number one priority. Remember that, as usual, your vehicle is a potent weapon.
The game will instruct you to fire on the car as you drive, so do so. This will damage not only the driver and his gunman, but it will also damage the car. Once the car takes enough damage that it's on fire, the driver and gunner will bail, and you can mow them down with a gun or run them over with your vehicle. Either way, be sure they're dead before heading back to the auto body shop to kill any enemies you left behind. Once the last one is dead, Niko will call Manny and let him know the deed is done.

Brussels, 2 October 2009
OPEN DAYS 2009 – European Week of Regions and Cities (5-8 October): gearing up for the biggest event in the EU Regional Policy calendar
The seventh annual OPEN DAYS – European Week of Regions and Cities, organised by the European Commission and EU Committee of the Regions, takes place 5-8 October. Over 7 000 European, national and regional policy-makers, practitioners and representatives of business, civil society and academia will participate in 125 seminars and other events in Brussels. Participants will come not only from Europe but also from the United States, China and India. The aim of the four-day event is for regions and cities to share ideas on a wide spectrum of issues. They range from boosting economic development and counteracting the current recession to the long-term challenges of climate change. Some 230 additional local events will also take place in Member States under the OPEN DAYS banner.
European Commission President Jos é Manuel Barroso, who will be among the speakers in the Opening Session at the European Parliament, said: "This year's event will be particularly important. Entitled 'Global Challenges, European Responses', it will look at how the global economy is changing as a result of the downturn. Europe, its Member States and its regions have to invest in major and innovative changes to emerge from the crisis, to preserve the European model of society and to remain globally competitive. Globalisation is not the enemy of subsidiarity. It is, in fact, the exact opposite. Regions are the first place for acquiring know-how, for economic activity, employment, social cohesion and innovation systems."
Regional Policy Commissioner Paweł Samecki said: "OPEN DAYS is the biggest event in the EU Regional Policy calendar and it puts local and regional ideas and concerns firmly in the public spotlight. The economic crisis continues to remind us that all regions need to find ways to respond to global challenges. OPEN DAYS provides a unique platform for dialogue between the public, private and academic sectors to find concrete solutions."
Committee of the Regions' (CoR) President Luc Van den Brande said: "The climate change day on 7 October during the OPEN DAYS will be the perfect opportunity for local and regional authorities across Europe to send a strong message about the need for collaboration on tackling both the causes and effects of global warming ahead of the UN summit in Copenhagen in December."
Global Challenges, European Responses
213 regions and cities are partners for OPEN DAYS 2009 and they will work in "conglomerates" on themes such as innovation or public health.
The seminars at this year's OPEN DAYS are focused on four main topics:
Discussions on the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region will also be central to the agenda. Adopted by the European Commission in June (see: IP/09/893 ), the Strategy is one of the main priorities of the Swedish EU Presidency and the first that has been developed along a 'macro-regional' approach. It sets out to enhance cooperation between the eight Member States which border the Sea in order to tackle specific challenges in the area, in particular environmental problems. Other aims include strengthening competitiveness, developing energy and transport links, and improving the region's security, especially in the maritime field. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Maud Olofsson and the Swedish and Finnish Ministers for European Affairs, Cecilia Malmström and Astrid Thors, will take part in a Baltic Sea press panel during the OPEN DAYS.
Discussions are also expected to focus on a new macro-regional strategy for the Danube Basin. The European Council has asked the Commission to outline plans for a Danube strategy by the end of 2010 and the Committee of the Regions will adopt a report on the subject at its OPEN DAYS plenary session (7 October).
OPEN DAYS University
The OPEN DAYS University is among several new features included in the 2009 programme. Designed to get the academic community more involved, it will include a series of panels with leading academics. US author and economist Jeremy Rifkin , who is renowned for his ideas on the post-carbon "Third Industrial Revolution", will address the conference via a video message which will stimulate discussions on how European regions can respond to climate change.
'The Meeting Place': Regions making business
During the OPEN DAYS, the Committee's premises will be the Meeting Place for local experts and representatives of banks and international companies such as Siemens and Motorola, who are teaming up to organise 33 seminars on regional and business development.
Working in partnership
The EU Cohesion Policy, which has a budget of EUR 347 billion in 2007-2013 and provides support for 455 development programmes in the Member States, demands effective cooperation between public authorities and the business community to make best use of EU funds. The OPEN DAYS can help lay the foundations for such partnerships and for joint projects.
OPEN DAYS going local: Europe in your region
233 local events will take place in 33 countries as part of the "Europe in my Region/Europe in my City" initiative. The events include festivals, youth debates, seminars and sporting competitions. The idea is to celebrate Europe's achievements and to raise awareness of the scale of EU investment available through the Cohesion Policy for projects ranging from technology parks to broadband development and high-speed transport links.

So this is probably a question that all of you have either asked yourselves or been asked by others. I've had conversations multiple times about this subject since the first time that I came online.
I know of three versions of how Genesis can fit with evolution. GAP, Day-age, and allegorical.
GAP to me is a joke. It proposes that between the versus in genesis ( between 1:19 and 1:20 if I remember correctly) the bible leaves out millions ( or billions) of years. Besides the fact that this makes god out to be a deceiver, it also still doesn't explain why the rest of creation is out of order. Like why the earth and plants are created before the sun.
Day-age makes an attempt to explain things by turning day into some indistinguishable period of time. Mainly by using versus like 2 Peter 3:8.
Again we encounter the same problem as the first though. The arrangement of creation is out of order.
The last attempt is by saying that Genesis is allegorical. This is probably the best attempt at making things fit. Mainly that of making it so that it doesn't matter what order the Genesis account is in because that is not the point of the verse. They aren't suppose to be taken literally.
One problem with this, and this includes the above versions as well. On what basis are we determining that Genesis isn't meant to be taken literally. Why should we drop the one interpretation for the others?
The main answer that I've gotten for this is that if we want science to fit with Genesis then we need to change Genesis in order to make it fit with our understanding of science. An example of this can be found here.
So this leads me to ask. Should the bible determine reality or should reality determine the bible? Because if Genesis is taken as non-literal so that we can fit it with science, then does that not mean that we create a precedence when it comes to how we look at the world? Wouldn't that mean that when science determines whether an event/object is good or bad for us then the bible takes a back seat? And if the bible takes a back seat, wouldn't that undermine the idea that it is the inspired word of god? I say it does.
Between the moderate Christians and the fundamentalist I always go with the moderates. I would rather have people who are pro rather then anti science. Still, on this subject I have come to realize that I cannot agree with moderates. Not with what has been presented. I can no longer tell a fundie directly that I see no conflict with science and the bible.
What are your thoughts. Do you think that these two can reach some reasonable ( if not god written) consensus on the matter? I would be interested in hearing what you have to say.
As a side note, I really enjoy Robert Ingersoll's Some Mistakes of Moses.
Great read if you find the time.
Views: 1284
I don't see how one can reconcile the stories in the bible or other "holy" books and facts of evolution.
Creationism, myths of how creation occurred, of how "chosen" people can slaughter others who are young and old, strong and weak, rich and poor, different and diverse makes no sense. There is just too much cognitive dissonance for me. Also, scientific, biologic, chemical, geologic and historic facts disprove fables.
Dominionism, human beings having priority over creation and one race over another and male over female just shouts of hierarchical stratification of god, man, woman, earth and spirit and provides rationale for abuse of power based on Bronze Age, tribal peoples. Assigned power is political and has nothing to do with morality.
Exceptionalism, my god is better than your god, or one nation having dominion over another, or male over female, or one race over another is silly, except such beliefs create tyranny, suffering and oppression.
In practical terms, those who believe in genesis, follow the precepts of the bible, and impose expectations on others based on these fallible principles, do not meet the needs of human beings or the Earth. Using religion to justify government, corporations and profit motives to dominate and oppress all that exists is pure, unadulterated tyranny. Personally, I hold the institution of religion in utter contempt.
Joan, do you hold in contempt the crutches used by people with sprained ankles? The dentures used by people who'd lost their teeth? Etc, etc, and etc.
Resist with all your energy the attempts by people with sprained ankles to compel you to use their crutches, but holding their crutches, etc, in contempt will exhaust your energy.
Fil, is it correct to conclude that you've never sprained an ankle?
If someday you do, you may find that crutches enable walking.
Of course dominionism is crap. It also relies on a hierarchy of power: one leader and many obedient followers. They will not use persuasion; they will use violence.
If someday they come at you, and if your present concern with crap and bullshit has not exhausted your energy, you will feel a concern with survival.
Fil, thanks for recognizing a crutch can be a tool or a weapon. I respectfully restate the conclusion:
The difference between using a crutch as a tool or a weapon is in the intent of the one holding it.
Fil, I like your "A" instead of "the" and your pointing out other "mechanisms".
One of the things I feared when I let go of faith in a personal god was that I would be alone, not find the triumphalism and joy of evangelical christianity, and would be an outsider.
Fantom Fears, I now call them.
The music could be improved upon. See:
"...the intent behind using religion as a weapon comes from the weapon itself."
Donning my philosopher's hat, which I seldom do, I ask "Does a material object have intent, or does a person who uses the object?"
Poets find English a good language because meanings differ so subtly. In "...doesn't enable the user to force others to use a crutch.", "entitle" might work better.
Yeah, damned agent-seeking component in our brains.
We've got something similar that our brains do (what I believe you're referring to), called the intentional stance ... or something to that effect. Dawkins explains it in detail, in The God Delusion, I think it is. And yes, I know he was summarizing someone else's work, but I haven't got a chance in hell of remembering whose it was.
Basically, it's what lets us look at a tiger and see how it's 'built' ... then guess that it's built to kill us. It's a fairly useful survival tool.
It's the malfunctioning of this brain process that makes us see intention in things like lightning, volcanoes, and rock slides ... then look for the agent that has those intentions.
I am so glad you use the metaphor of crutches. Of course, when one sprains an ankle, a crutch is not only necessary but more comfortable. When an ankle heals, the crutches go in the closet or to GoodWill. My closest friend is a quadriplegic confined to a wheel chair because of M.S. She can no longer feed herself, or even turn a page of a book. She is realistically and truly dependent for everything. Her family and we friends care for her, slow down our conversations so she can get a word into our chatter; she has strong opinions and voices them confidently, even though her voice is barely a whisper.
Crutches and wheelchairs are tools and worthy of respect, not contempt. Religion, especially if taught from infancy to only look outward for guidance or help very often fails when faced with grown-up, real world situations. Yes, some people find strength in belief in some higher power; for many it is not necessary and not sufficient.
The first time I said out loud that I am an atheist, the sun did not stop in the sky, bolts of lightning did not strike me dead, a flood did not inundate my world. Family and friends are horrified, convinced I am doomed, that I have no basis for a moral foundation, and am called lots of things ... selfish, misguided, predict I will even become an ethical and moral misfit!
Those who were the cruelest and most judgmental often are the ones who come to me in private and ask questions. There is something about thinking critically about a problem, looking at pros and cons, anticipating expected and unexpected consequences, making a decision based on my best information, and changing course if my thoughts and actions do not solve it. There is nothing wrong with making a mistake; there is something wrong if one expects answers to come from "out there", whatever that is. Sadly, some don't realize that. I certainly am not going to remain silent.
"...I no longer feel helpless."
Well said, Joan. Recently a man I work with in a volunteer activity, who like me went to Catholic schools, surprised me with "Once a Catholic, always a Catholic."
Because I see too hasty a protest as cover for denial, I replied merely "Nonsense."
He repeated his line and I wanted a more effective reply. I watched his way of working and found a reply I liked better: "Once a Catholic, always helpless."
He stopped.

The technicals for Ascena Retail Group, Inc. (ASNA) have taken shape, and with them a comprehensive picture has emerged. This is the current state of play as presented by the current technical setup. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of books have been written on trading, strategies, tactics and everything in between. The result has been the mass-proliferation of confusion and less and less attention to the fundamentals of trading success. The fact remains that sound analysis of technical and chart data is still the biggest reason failing traders are transformed into winning traders.
(ASNA) has shown a marked change in trend levels over the course of recent market activity. Based on recent activity surrounding both the 50 and 200 SMAs, there's been a marked trend created which can be described as bearish. The composite picture painted by the trends built around both SMAs has also created a measured analysis of current investor sentiment as the stock navigates upside and downside risk. The established market sentiment toward the stock has created a trading environment which can suitably be described as negative. There has also been a knock-on effect as it relates to trading volume now reflected in strong real-time sentiment on the buying and selling curve; this has created in turn, enthusiasm toward the stock as measured across a broad statistical mix of the general trading community.
As a composite and comprehensive tableau, the stock's position in the minds of the trading market reflects a broad analysis of technicals and inherent trends which underpin overall market-trading viability.
Relative strength indicator (RSI) and Stochastic measures are two very important leading indicators that help traders gauge overall movement of a particular stock; they act as boosters to technical analysis. Together they show in a measured way, whether or not a stock currently overbought or oversold. This indicator is crucial in determining whether traders are tipped toward the side of buying more of the stock, or doing the opposite and selling more of the stock. This is very important directional information necessary for making trading decisions. (ASNA)'s current measure for its 14-day RSI is 32.55%; this is suggestive that on balance of the indicator, the stock is neutral – neither overbought nor oversold and therefore not susceptible to any undue price movements in either direction. The stochastic picture presents a complimentary view of overall sentiment in the present state for (ASNA). Stochastic data gathered over the last 30 days has created a score of 14.60%. This indicates that the stock is oversold at current levels.
Many successful traders augment their trading execution by using additional technical indicators. These supplementary indicators are vital is establishing a more comprehensive picture as it relates to the trading environment. The omens depict a telling picture in terms of the near-term trading setup for (ASNA); this makes things very interesting to the curious and interested eye. The -1.04 has created a negative in the trailing 30 days since initiating movement. Over the extended term, the stock has underperform the S&P 500 by -78.69%. This consistent movement and its attendant overall performance have produced higher daily volatility when compared with other stocks ranking in the same peer group and on the same exchange. The picture looks the same when the stock is assessed against volatility levels measured historically. This historical volatility gives a current reading of 61.25%. These measures of historic volatility are very handy in judging the underlying price momentum and the rate of change in the price of (ASNA). Bound up this picture of volatility, is another measure that gives the underlying thesis for (ASNA). This can best be seen by analyzing the readings for the stock's average true range, currently 6.35. ATR is a fine augment to the other indicators outlined above and should be used in conjunction and not as a standalone.

A letter home from West Berlin
I wrote this letter 6 days before our son Isaac was born. Keely was 3 years old. We were living in military housing (Duepple Housing area) in West Berlin, on the ground floor of an apartment building that was 6 or 7 stories high. Dennis was working for the PX system (AAFES).
June 7, 1989
Dear Daddy, Mama, and all the family,
I'll write a few lines while Keely watches Sesame Street and Dennis snoozes.
Dennis was off work today, so we took Keely to the beach -- the shore of the Wannsee, which is a large lake just a few miles from us. Keely wore her swimsuit and waded a bit at the water's edge, but she wasn't at all adventurous about getting wet above her knees. Dennis and I parked ourselves in our lawn chairs, and Keely had a good time filling her sand bucket with various mixtures of sand and water.
The sky clouded over, and it looked rainy, so we left after an hour, just before it got seriously wet. Maybe it was the approaching rainstorm that made the swans so frisky today. All the time we were there, they were opening their wings and flapping across the water.
As you know, Willadene and Lewis (Dennis's sister and her husband) were here last week. We went to various places in the city with them that we hadn't visited before -- the stadium that was built for the 1936 Olympics, an interesting flea and antique market in some old subway cars at one of the stations, and St. Hedwig's Cathedral. The cathedral is in East Berlin, and the stadium and flea market are in West Berlin.
Also in East Berlin, we saw the weekly parade of East German soldiers in front of their Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They goosestep new guards in and out every hour, but each Wednesday at 2:30, the whole company has a elaborate ceremony and parade on the street in front of the monument.
After being so warm in May, it's turned cool again. They've even turned on the heat again. It's been below 50° several nights.
I hope that by the time you actually receive this letter, maybe we'll have the baby. The day we went to East Berlin and walked for miles, I wondered if maybe we would need to rush to the hospital. (I didn't say a word to Dennis and the group about it, because I didn't want to get everyone excited!) But I'm still waiting. I have my suitcase partially packed.
Laveda Boggs, another AAFES wife who lives one floor above us, has offered repeatedly to watch Keely if we have to go to the hospital suddenly in the night. She works during the day, so we've made arrangements with another lady (Linda) to keep Keely while Dennis is at work. Linda is trustworthy and has three preschoolers of her own. Keely and I have visited at their house several times recently so Keely won't feel like a stranger.
Keely has been wanting to learn to "spreche Deutsch" lately. She has become aware that she and the little German kids speak two different languages. She's been asking me to teach her. When we finish a little lesson, she says, "NOW those kids will understand what I'm saying!"
We went today to see about enrolling Keely in preschool next fall at the John F. Kennedy School. It's a private school, and we will have to pay tuition. We will have to pay her tuition at any preschool, so why not try for one of the better ones? They teach preschool mainly in German. We couldn't find anyone at the school because they're all on a week's vacation, so we will have to try again. They have a waiting list, and I wouldn't want her to begin before next fall anyway. With the baby, that will be enough adjusting and stress for her at present.
Well, I don't have enough news to begin another page, so I'll sign off. All's well here, and we hope you are doing OK too! Love from each of us, and juicy Keely-kisses all around.
Gennie, Dennis, and Keely

Fall Fest haunted house culminates of years of collecting elaborate spooky props
When the 2013 Culver Fall Fest's haunted house at the beach lodge opens its doors, it will represent years of collecting elaborate and high-quality Halloween-themed props and decorations on the part of Mark Damore Sr. -- and a lot of set-up experience on the part of his son, Mark Jr.
Mark Sr., best known to Culverites as the owner of the Original Root Beer Stand, says he had to master plan to collect and set up the spooky paraphernalia. Instead, he says, "I love Halloween," and once he started buying a few items, he "just kept buying!"
All that buying is expected to make for some fun scares Sat. evening, Oct. 19, as part of the festival, when the Culver beach lodge will be transformed into a "haunted house" from 5 to 9 p.m. (earlier hours are planned to be less intense, and more suitable for younger attendees, while the later hour or two are reserved for the less feint of heart).
There will be a small fee at the door, with proceeds to benefit the Culver Boys & Girls Club. Members of the Culver Youth Community Organization (or CYCO), a collaboration between Culver Academies and Culver Comm. High School students, will be on hand to run the event.
Some in the area experienced Damore's collection in years past at an annual Halloween party held in his garage on 18th Road near Culver.
There, he says, a "dungeon" effect was created with black tarp walls and ceilings, lit by lanterns ("The lighting is the main thing," say both Marks).
"My friend owns a funeral home, and he gave me an actual casket," adds Mark Sr.
Additionally, a number of motion and sound-activated, battery-powered props appear, make noises, produce lighting exhibitions, and more.
Many, says Mark Jr., are "fun, life-size 3D props."
"It's pretty spectacular," Mark Sr. says, noting Mark Jr. did a lot of the set-up in the old garage days and will duplicate much of the same at the beach lodge.
And Mark Jr. is geared up to do just that.
"It's an exciting thing," he says, referring as much to the festival itself as the haunted house specifically. "It's something in the middle of October, which is usually a dead, boring time, that's fun and different. The whole point is to do something for everybody."
And, he adds, "It's vastly underrated how beautiful Culver is this time of year."

These tracks are from old files I made years ago. I abandoned them and forgot them, and their sweet melodies fermented like wine until I un-earthed them like an electronic Indiana Jones. You can consider them B-sides for my first release here on Bump Foot. There's Drum 'n' Bass, Breaks, and fun funky compositions which bleed into IDM. The Melodies are Sweet and the Trash is Loud.
Styles & Genres: indietronica, b-sides, video game music
Released: 2013
Stuff I might email you:
I write weird stories and novels. I like vivid wordplay and far-out adventures. I like to explore subtle ideas, juxtapositions, scary aspects of personal development, and just generally far-out stuff. I like Hard Art, stuff that's upsetting, but also stuff that's just fun and beautiful. That's what's fun for me, and I hope it will be fun for you too. Fun and scary.
Most of my books are independently published. I like the control. I like hiring cover artists and designing the book myself. I have worked with publishers, and I'll do so again, but I'm a very DIY kinda guy and I love the process of giving you something that's completely my own invention.
When I make electronic music I tend to use the rhythm and beat-structure of dance music, while the melodic structure is more influenced by rock, funk, and metal. I've used FruityLoops, Reason, and the powerful (and volatile) suite of music production software in Linux.
I was born in Newfoundland, Canada. I got my degree from St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I've worked as a line cook, machine operator, web designer, and a bunch of other things.
I also do audio production Psymposia's weekly consciousness-expansion podcast. They're a great organization and you should check them out.
I've "re-vamped" my personal website way too many times. Usually I just want something noisy, jarring, and fun to look at. But I decided I needed something more functional so I built this content-management system in Flask, with Python. Now if I want to update it I'll just change the visuals, but the backend should be solid.
This is the main source for information about my work. Details about my books and music, my publishing history, where to buy my stuff, plus my blog and links to other cool site.
...but it's also a place to just put ridiculous things on the internet. I like internet noise. Glitch art. Broken things. So humour me by exploring it a little bit.
You can drop me a line at info [at] pattmayne [dot] com. I'll probably respond.

Cardiovascular Agent
Calcium Channel Blocker
Amlodipine is used alone or together with other medicines to treat angina (chest pain) and high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It affects the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. As a result, amlodipine relaxes blood vessels and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of amlodipine to treat high blood pressure in children younger than 6 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Older adults
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of amlodipine in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney, liver, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving amlodipine.

Just driving yesterday's point home some more: "The Lilith was one of the first computer workstations worldwide with a high-resolution graphical display and a mouse. The first prototype was developed by Niklaus Wirth and his group between 1978 and 1980 with Richard Ohran as the hardware specialist. [...] The whole system software of the Lilith was written in Modula-2, a structured programming language which Wirth has developed at the same time. The programs were compiled into low-level M-Code instructions which could be executed by the hardware. The user interface was designed with windows, icons and pop-up menus. Compared with the character based systems available at that time, these were revolutionary metaphors in the interaction with a computer." Jos Dreesen, owner of one of the few remaining working Liliths, wrote a Lilith emulator for Linux.

What You Need To Know From SMX Advanced
What is a CMS and Do You Need One?
Coverage of
hot topics, shuffles, shindigs, attaboys and word on the wire.
|FEATURE: What You Need To Know From SMX Advanced
|Anyone following the industry may have noticed the overwhelming coverage of SMX Advanced earlier this month. A relative newcomer to the conference circuit, SMX has quickly become a sweetheart of show goers. Advanced was billed as an expert-level search engine marketing education and exhibition event, featuring sessions for fluent and experienced SEOs, SEMs and Web developers.
BACK TO BASICS: What is a CMS and Do You Need One?
A Content Management System or CMS is a software product that companies use to manage the content of their Web sites. Some content management systems are complicated and quite expensive; others can be simple and quite reasonable. "Broadly speaking, Content Management describes a process that allows people to more easily create and update content, especially on their Web sites (Web Content Management)." Does your company need a CMS? Let's explore your options.
Hot Topics
Last week Search Marketing Expo Advanced made its second showing in Seattle and gave search marketers two solid days of search engine optimization education. However, it didn't end without stirring up some controversy first.Was SMX Advanced Too Dark?
Bruce Clay's Lisa Barone returned from the show unsettled. It seemed this year's SMX Advanced show was too focused on promoting grey and black hat techniques and not focused enough on teaching advanced white hat search engine optimization strategies. Lisa's post ignited an unprecedented firestorm of comments on the Bruce Clay blog with many chiming in to add their own thoughts on the matter. Among those joining the debate was SMX creator Danny Sullivan who expressed his embarrassment for putting on a show that contained more black hat material than he would have liked. He went as far as to question if SMX didn't set the industry backwards instead of helping to move it forwards.
From there, a heated conversation ignited on both Sphinn and SEOmoz as to whether the tone of the conference was appropriate. Those at SEOmoz seemed to support the darker shade of the conference saying that just because you know how to do something doesn't mean you have to implement it.
Danny Sullivan dedicated an in depth post to the conversation where he reminded the industry that advanced SEO does not mean spamming or black hat search engine optimization. The topic was once again tackled on Bruce Clay Inc.'s SEM Synergy radio show; co-host Robert Esparza expressed his fear that many inhouse SEOs may have not have found what they were looking for in the show's content.The Industry Divides Over Black Hat SEO
Search expert Eric Enge agreed with Lisa that black hat tactics aren't a good idea, but there were plenty of SEOs who disagreed. SEO BlackHat took a few personal jabs while stating there's no such thing as advanced white hat SEO and Michael Martinez asked if black hat SEO is advanced enough to be called advanced SEO, arguing that being sneaky and deceptive is not cutting the edge of search engine optimization theory.
Marty Weintraub got in on the conversation with SEO, Colored Hats & The Pollyanna Pissing Match where he colorfully made the case that white hat SEOs need to take off their rose-colored glasses and realize that using grey hat tactics and exploiting loopholes doesn't go against Google's guidelines.Best Practice SEO Is Always Best
In Matt Cutts' own SMX Advanced 2008 Wrap-up, he commented that he didn't find much value in sessions that offered official panels on cloaking and thought it represented a bit of a time warp. Advanced SEO is much more than black hat tactics and exploiting loopholes. It always has been.
While exploiting loopholes may not technically break the search engines guidelines, they definitely go against the spirit of them. Just because you may get by on a loophole today, doesn't mean Google isn't actively working to close up that loophole. It's always better to spend your time optimizing your Web site using best practice search engine optimization, no matter how sexy the blackhat tactics may look.
In family news, Chris Hart joined Bruce Clay as Director of Eastern Region Operations for the newly opened Bruce Clay East.
June saw a number of high profile leavings, including beloved Yahoo Jeremy Zawodny who bid farewell after more than 8 years with the company. Peter Linsley left Ask to join Google and Usama Fayyad resigned as Yahoo's chief data officer. There is also talk that Yahoo Jeffrey Weiner is also getting ready to leave, as well.
The biggest news of the month was Yahoo partnering with Google to serve ads. Yahoo hopes the non-exclusive 10 year deal will stave off prospective suitor Microsoft. However, anti-trust questions may cause the deal some trouble.
In corporate mergers, acquisitions and launches:
- Google updated its favicon and added PDFs to the list of files supported by Google Docs.
- Yahoo expanded its SearchMonkey program by launching Yahoo! Search Gallery and signed a Web video partnership deal with CBS and Walmart.
- Microsoft closed down its Classifieds portal Microsoft Live Expo, introduced SearchTogether and Search and Give, stole Yahoo's position as HP's default search engine, and used the SMX Advanced show to announce the release of adCenter Desktop Beta.
- Twitter clone Plurk launched in the midst of Twitter facing massive downtime and scaling problems.
- Andy Beal's reputation management tool Trackur released its second version, which includes Trackur Trends.

Google announced the Google Website Workout Contest which will give four site owners the opportunity to work with Google consultants and test a series of different factors that will help them increase their conversion rate.
ClickZ shares the Borrell Associates prediction that local Web ad spending will grow 50 percent over the next 18 months.
Twitter and Summize partnered up to provide coverage of this week's WWDC. Summize showed all tweets that contained the words "wwdc", "apple", "iphone" or "steve jobs". The pairing helped Twitter to stay up through the conference without interruption.
Internet service providers Verizon, Sprint and Time Warner have banded together to block access to child pornography on the Web and eliminate such content from their servers.
Word on the Wire
A comment by Twitter developer Alex Payne made Loren Baker wonder if Google would step in to save Twitter by running ads on the site.

Pro-Putt Domo Review
October 21, 2009 - You love Domo, right? Of course you do! You want Domo in a video game, right? We thought so. How about five video games? I know, sweet! How about five, mediocre Game Boy Advance mini-games from seven years ago that you have to purchase separately? Wait, where are you going?!
Nintendo Download: 10/19/09
October 19, 2009 - Eight is great for gamers this week as Nintendo adds eight new titles to its ever-growing library of downloadable games.

Next, Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem makes survival of the fittest the law of the land. Meanwhile, Nintendo DSiWare welcomes Domo, a strange creature who hatched from an egg. Also known as the popular mascot of Japan's NHK television station, Domo stars in five separate new Nintendo DSiWare games. Topping it off is RYGAR, a 1980s arcade gem making its Virtual Console debut.
