God claims
There are an infinite possible number of gods. There are approximately 38,000 different denominations of Christianity alone (including culturally specific sects), all with their different beliefs on who or what god is. Surely it would be impossible to rule them all out. However if we zero in and examine a theistic claim about a specific god's nature or character, we can draw certain conclusions based on what we've learned about the world through the systematic observations and testing of reality known as science. Despite the theistic assertions that god cannot be caged by science, these specific claims made by the theist can be assessed. As our understanding of the world has increased through science, the gaps that god is able to inhabit have gotten smaller and smaller. With every additional piece of information we learn about the world, the more the constraints tighten on what a god could have or can do. This is perhaps best stated in Stephen Hawking's a brief history of time.
Stephen Hawking in A brief history of time c.1988
- "One can imagine that God created the universe at literally any time in the past. On the other hand, if the universe is expanding, there may be physical reasons why there had to be a beginning. One could still imagine that God created the universe at the instant of the big bang, or even afterward in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. An expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!"
With our current understanding of our place in the world through biology and astrophysics, we are able to make assessments about certain aspects or claims of god. We have mountains of empirical evidence that life is a result of evolution, not specific intentional creation by an omnipotent being as depicted in genesis. We have mathematical evidence that the Noah's ark could not have stayed afloat during a rainstorm of such capacity that earth's highest peaks were submerged. We have historical evidence that the Israelites were never enslaved by the Egyptians as depicted in Exodus. As it currently stands, our understanding of the universe places the necessity and likelihood of a god or gods, to be on about the same footing as the tooth fairy.
Why Do Atheists Debate Theists? Why Do Atheists Care What Others Believe?
There is a common perception that there must be 'something more' to atheism than simply disbelief in gods because atheists often engage in debates with theists. After all, what's the point of debating if not to convert someone to some other philosophy or religion? It is, then, legitimate to ask why atheists get involved in such debates and what they hope to achieve. Does this indicate that atheism is some sort of philosophy or even a religion? No, the reasons why atheists debate religion, study religion, or get involved with religion in any way varies from atheist to atheist.
The first thing to note is that many of these debates wouldn't occur if theists didn't appear in order to try to convert atheists — usually to some form of Christianity. Some atheists seek out debate, but many are content to simply discuss things — often not religious issues, in fact — amongst themselves. The fact that an atheist responds to prompting from a theist does not suggest that there is anything more to atheism than the absence of belief in gods.
The second thing to note is that there is a legitimate interest among nonbelievers in educating people about atheism, agnosticism, and freethought. There are quite a few myths and misconceptions about these categories and people are justified in trying to dispel them. Once again, the desire to spread accurate information does not suggest anything further about atheism.
Nevertheless, there is a category of debate which does involve something beyond atheism, and that is when debates are engaged by atheists not simply as nonbelievers, but as nonbelievers who are specifically working to promote reason and skepticism. In this manner, the specifics of the debate may be about theism and religion, but the purpose of the debate is supposed to be about the encouragement of reason, skepticism, and critical thinking — any encouragement of atheism is incidental to that.
Strong Atheism vs.Agnosticism
Strong atheism is the position that we should not suspend judgment about the non-existence of gods. Agnosticism is the position that we should suspend judgment on the existence or non-existence of gods.
If strong atheism is true, then agnosticism is invalid. One can give various strong-atheistic arguments to prove the validity of strong-atheism and therefore disprove agnosticism.
Many agnostics posit that we do not or cannot have any knowledge on the god-concept, and that this is their justification for their agnosticism. If one posits that no knowledge is possible, for instance because human beings are too limited for their arguments to have any weight, then one can deny any argument. This is the most popular agnostic position.
It is certainly an attractive position, especially for nihilists. If we cannot really know anything, then ignorance is a privileged position.
While we can argue this from an epistemic standpoint, by affirming the power of science and rational thinking, or by demonstrating why reason is our means to knowledge, there is a very simple way to express the incoherency. Agnosticism, by denying the non-existence of gods, posits that the existence of gods is possible. Starting from this, we must ask agnostics the following:
How can you derive meaning from a concept you can know nothing about?
If one presupposes that no knowledge about "god" is possible, including semantic knowledge, then one cannot give any objective meaning to "god". Therefore the proposition "the existence of gods is possible", which is part of agnosticism, becomes meaningless, and so is agnosticism made meaningless.
Another direct and critical problem with such an agnosticism is that it is self-refuting. If we are impotent beings, if we can make no statement of knowledge, then certainly we cannot claim to know this.
We do not, in fact, need to be unlimited beings in order to make propositions about hypothetical unlimited beings.
Aren't universal negatives impossible to prove?
It is usually assumed that universal negatives cannot be proven. Indeed that is the main complaint heard about strong atheism: that it cannot by definition be proven, because it is a universal negative. Usually this is associated with a pretense of omniscience. The argument is that to say that something does not exist, one needs basically to "look" everywhere, thus be omniscient.
But on the other hand, we know that no contradiction can exist, because of the laws of logic. But we can make up contradictory entities. For example, the expression "married bachelor". A bachelor by definition cannot be married, therefore the expression is contradictory. When the term being used is contadictory, the universal negative is true automatically, like "There is no married bachelor".
All that is needed to prove such a negative is to show that the concept in question is meaningless or contradictory. For example, an argument often used against the existence of hypothetical gods is the Argument from Evil. In this case, the evidence is that a god must be omnibenevolent, omniscient and omnipotent, and the fact that evil exists. We do not need to know everything to know that evil exists and compare this with a god's infinite attributes, and yet it is sufficient to argue strong atheism, because it shows that gods are incompatible with our universe.
Another means to prove a universal negative about the non-existence of X consists of finding a positive which opposes X. For instance, science disproved the existence of phlogiston by demonstrating the scientific fact that combustion is sparked by the existence of a substrate combined with oxygen, and therefore not by phlogiston.
It is therefore basically a fallacy to say that universal negatives cannot be proven. Indeed that is the main role of logic: proving universal negatives to remove all contradictions from thought. It would be surprising if universal negatives couldn't be proven.
"There are actually two ways to prove the nonexistence of something. One way is to prove that it cannot exist because it leads to contradictions (e.g., square circles, married bachelors, etc.). The other way is, in the words of Keith Parsons, "by carefully looking and seeing." This is how we can know that such things as the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Abimonable Snowman, etc. do not exist." -Jeffery Jay Lowder, in "Is a Proof of the Nonexistence of a God Even Possible?"
In fact, the scientific method only admits for universal negatives – in science, you can only falsify something completely, not confirm it completely. Something is judged to be true because it stands to the test of falsifiability extensively enough to be unassailable. But failing one single test disqualifies a specific principle from being accepted.
The Presumption of Atheism
Although many atheist philosophers have offered arguments against the existence of God, some have thought that it is not necessary to do so in order to establish the rationality of atheism. There is, it is argued, a presumption of atheism; because of the nature of theism, we ought to be atheists unless we are presented with strong evidence for theism, even if we do not have any specific arguments for atheism. There are two types of atheism: weak and strong. Weak atheism is defined negatively as the absence of belief in God. Strong atheism is defined positively as the belief that God does not exist.
The presumption of atheism argument comes in two forms, one relating to weak atheism and the other to strong atheism.
The Presumption of Weak Atheism
Some weak atheists argue that atheism is the default position because he who asserts must prove. Theists make the positive claim that God exists. Weak atheists do not make the positive claim that God does not exist, but merely withhold their assent from the theists' claim that God does exist. According to the weak atheist, because it is the theist that makes an assertion, it is the theist that bears the burden of proof. He who asserts must prove, and so unless the theist can offer some convincing argument for God's existence, the weak atheist will be justified in his atheism.
The Presumption of Strong Atheism
The same argument does not apply to the strong atheist. The strong atheist's position is just as assertive as that of the theist. The theist asserts that God exists; the strong atheist asserts that God does not exist. In the hands of the strong atheist, the presumption of atheism argument must therefore be reformulated. The strong atheist cannot point to the tentativeness of his position as a reason why he need not offer an argument for it. Instead, some strong atheists point to the ordinariness of their position as fulfilling this role.
Strong atheism, it is argued, coheres with our observations of the world around us; it does not go beyond our experiences. Theism, on the other hand, makes extraordinary claims about spiritual beings, a heavenly realm, and the imminent resurrection of the dead. These claims, unlike those of the strong atheist, are extraordinary, i.e. they do not fit with our everyday experiences, and they are therefore to be disbelieved except in the face of extraordinary evidence.

Bo, Connie, John Get a History Lesson, Ideas
Randy York's N-Sider
Before Saturday, Bo Pelini had never been aboard an American passenger train. The same can be said for Connie Yori and even John Walker, who discovered a new twist that relates to his European visits to recruit. Coming off notable seasons, all three Nebraska head coaches spent Saturday on Union Pacific Railroad's Big Red Express and after taking the train to Columbus, Grand Island, Kearney and North Platte to thank Husker fans for their loyalty and support, all three were equipped with two meaningful experiences they simply did not envision – 1) an inspiring lesson in American history; and 2) a new way to consider seeing the country.
Pelini, whose team beat SEC power Georgia in the 2014 Gator Bowl, loved lounging and dining among the 14-car UP elite fleet. Every time he walked by a host of sleeping cars, he couldn't help but think "You know what? It wouldn't be so bad to go to bed and wake up the next morning being where you want to be," Bo told me. "Since I haven't ever been on a train before, I didn't know what to expect. Everybody enjoyed it. UP is a first-class operation. They got us to four different cities, and when you see fans like ours coming out to meet you, it makes you feel fortunate to be working here."
Yori, whose team won the 2014 Big Ten Conference Women's Basketball Tournament in Indianapolis, marvels at the history lesson that was communicated at every stop – that Union Pacific is more than 150 years old and Nebraska is the corporate headquarters for nearly 8,000 employees. Why? Because the first tracks laid in the state signaled the beginning of Abraham Lincoln's dream of a transcontinental railroad.
Yori: Railways Changed Our Country
"Our country really is pretty amazing when you think about the pioneers who came here in wagons with their families," Yori said. "Building a railroad that long ago was a phenomenal commitment that made our country what it is today. Railways changed everything, and today was a history lesson for a lot of us despite our age. It was a phenomenal train ride, and the scenery was beautiful. The last time I've been on a train was in Europe when I was 22 years old. I've never been on a train in the United States...ever!"
Neither has Walker, whose team won the 2013 Big Ten Conference regular-season women's championship in soccer as well as the conference tournament title in Champaign, Ill. "I go to Great Britain almost annually for soccer, and whenever I'm over there, I make at least one train ride, but not here in the U.S. I've never taken a train ride here," Walker said. "But for me, after today, it's the No. 1 way of traveling. I love it. I absolutely love the train. With the train, you get the scenery. You have the freedom to get up and down. You have a chance to talk. I had a good chat with Connie Yori about recruiting and player development. I even had the chance to talk to some of the younger coaches that I didn't even know."
The history lesson included something else that coaches didn't expect – Husker fans throughout the route waving and holding Husker banners as they watched the Big Red Express weave its way through their locales en route to the four whistle stops. At each stop, fans listened to coaches and UP officials speak. They clapped their hands to a live pep band, posed with cheerleaders, sought autographs, and showed their appreciation for a busy group who took the time to show their appreciation for Nebraska's record-setting attendance across all sports over the past year.
Celebrating Two Heritages at Once
Mayors at each whistle stop received joint proclamations from Nebraska and Union Pacific – two of the state's most recognizable brands. Lance Fritz, president and chief operating officer, said the Big Red Express special train celebrates not only Union Pacific's heritage with the communities along its main line from Omaha to North Platte, but also the historical connection the University of Nebraska has with each community.
Pelini, who was in North Platte a couple weekends ago for his daughter's softball game, was as enthusiastic at his last stop as he was at the first stop. In fact, after experiencing the difference between driving 450 miles roundtrip between Lincoln and North Platte compared to relaxing on the train, Nebraska's seventh-year head coach gave the day's smallest crowd the day's biggest news – his belief that the Huskers have the talent, work ethic and chemistry to be one of the four final teams that will be selected to compete in the first-ever College Football Playoff semifinals in the Rose and Sugar Bowls on Jan. 1, 2015.
It's been a good, busy summer for Pelini, who told the North Platte crowd it's time to recharge his batteries before the Huskers report for fall camp, don pads and begin their next season inside Memorial Stadium, which will feature all sorts of technological improvements.
Train Fleet, Stadium Twin Elite
Somehow, the Big Red Express seems an ideal metaphor for Nebraska, which has won more football games than any other Division I school in America over the last 50 years. Even though Union Pacific is more than 150 years old, no other railroad in America has retained its historical passenger equipment like UP. Each rail car is unique and chronicles a different chapter of Union Pacific's past. The preservation of the fleet also speaks to the high value that Union Pacific places on its heritage and role in America's history. The same, of course, can be said about Memorial Stadium, which has never looked better or been equipped more to serve a fan base that has sold out 333 consecutive home games since 1962.
Likely Trips, a Dream and a Maybe
Yori said Saturday that her family has talked about a train vacation but failed to act on it. "I think it would be fun for us just to go to Denver or Chicago on the train," she said.
Walker is an equally strategic thinker who sees a train vacation in his future.
Dan Kendig, another Husker coach whose team won a Big Ten Conference Championship this year in women's gymnastics, now has three American train trip experiences and has added a new item on his personal bucket list of 10 things he wants to do in his life – "take a train trip right through the Pacific Northwest," Kendig said.
Of course we asked Bo the same question about a possible family vacation on the train. "It would be different," he said, "but I don't know if Amtrak would be as nice as what we rode on today. That was pretty special."
Bottom Line: Bo's Pressures Greater
On the bus ride from North Platte's rail yards to the final venue Saturday evening, I asked Yori to pinpoint her most memorable moments. One was a conversation with Pelini, especially since Husker coaches are so focused on their own programs, they rarely get together.
"I don't see a lot of Bo, but I had some quality time with him today," Yori told me. "He's a good representative of our state. We're lucky to have a guy that has the kind of values he has running our football program. Bo has lots of pressures that in a lot of ways, none of the rest of us face. Bo has always been very, very good to me. He's always gone out of his way to come over and chat whenever possible. Today was good because it was a very relaxed environment. We could actually sit down and talk about some of the issues that we all face in our programs and in college athletics.
"You don't really know what you're getting into when you get on a train in the morning and where it's going to lead you," Yori said. "It's been a great day. The train ride was phenomenal and everyone enjoyed the camaraderie on the staff. As coaches and administrators, I think most people think we're having conversations every day, and that's not true because we're all busy doing our jobs. When you see each other, it's usually brief and sometimes just a 'hi' because everyone's moving to the next thing. We don't have time to stop and enjoy the moment. Today was great. We had that time. We need more days like this one."

My wife Klara, four-year-old son Liam, and I visited Cape Town en route to Johannesburg. What to see and do there was a challenge made easier by hiring a local guide. Wayne Milne of Take 2 Tours, the father of two young girls himself, put together an itinerary that balanced our desire to experience the area's sites and culture with Liam's need to run around and be a kid.
There was lots we enjoyed in and around the city, like riding the cableway to the top of Table Mountain and spending time on the beach at Camps Bay. The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront was, as Wayne cautioned, "just like a giant shopping mall," but Liam went "boss" (local slang for crazy) at its Two Oceans Aquarium and loved watching the boats come and go.
Wayne drove us to Cape Point through Hout Bay, where we took a short cruise to see Cape fur seals; Liam got up close to an old one named Pity Boy which was hand fed on the docks by a local fisherman. Stopping on the return from Cape Point, Liam's giddy laugh caught on with other visitors watching the resident penguins tumble in and out of the surf at Boulders Beach.
There's more to Stellenbosch than fine wine. At Cheetah Outreach, a centre dedicated to increasing awareness of the diminishing numbers of cheetahs in the wild, Liam met Hemingway, a cheetah raised in captivity. Hearing the big cat purr as we stroked his back was a memorable experience -- and Liam carried a stuffed cheetah around with him for the rest of our South African holiday.
A short drive north of Cape Town, !Khwa ttu offers insight into the lives and culture of the San -- the "bushmen" made famous by the movie The Gods Must be Crazy. San guides took us on a walk through a nature reserve, showing us how to track animals as well as demonstrating traditional San village life. Learning some basic elements of the San language had us "clicking" and "popping" all the way back to Cape Town.

Hoppen, Lue: Big Man Key to Huskers Future
Randy York's N-Sider
Whether you were in the Devaney Center or watching on TV Saturday night, even the most casual fan could see what the Huskers' need most … a big man … a true center, a pivot, a post, a rock of Gibraltar like Michigan State has in multiple. We make that statement with all due respect to our favorite hustling Husker, Brandon Ubel, a 6-foot-10 forward who gives everything he has while playing out of position every time he steps on the court. Ubel wants to be a college basketball analyst someday, and he would be the first to tell you how difficult it is knocking heads and staying anchored inside the Land of Big Ten Giants – the most physical and dangerous territory in all of college basketball. Dave Hoppen, Nebraska's 6-foot-11 center and all-time leading scorer, is not a paid promotional recruiter. He owns his own financial group in Omaha and offers solid gold advice for any big man who wants to dream big, play big and be Nebraska's next Big Man on Campus.
Ultimate Opportunity: Be on Ground Floor
"If I was a big man right now looking for the right program," Hoppen said, "I would come to Nebraska, where I can become a cornerstone of what can become a great program. I would rather be on the ground floor of something that can be really explosive rather than go somewhere else – anywhere else – where history and tradition have already been made and established."
Nebraska is putting together the pieces to what has been a perplexing puzzle, so the Huskers can transcend a commonly held notion that a football school can't become a basketball school. Of course, the vast majority feel the same way about the odds of a basketball school becoming a football school
At Friday night's Nebraska Basketball Hall-of-Fame Banquet that enshrined Tyronn Lue, a legend offered a one-word opinion on truths that too many hold to be self-evident: "Baloney!" Tom Osborne said. "I have never believed that and still don't."
Neither does Hoppen, who helped the Huskers reach their first NIT Final Four when he played from 1983-86. That, of course, falls far short of Nebraska's ultimate goal – winning for the first time in the NCAA Tournament after six unsuccessful tries.
Chance to Put Huskers on National Map
"We've never gotten that done, so why not come here, where you can make a name for yourself and for the school?" Hoppen asked. "I mean, making history would be a great selling point to me."
It was, in fact, what sold Hoppen 30 years ago when he said no to Kansas, Kentucky, Notre Dame and Missouri and yes to Nebraska. It was a decision that resulted in an experience that could not have turned out any better, and Hoppen is eager to salute the next Husker big man taking on the opportunity to wake up a sleeping giant.
"Now is the perfect time to come to Nebraska, more than any other time, because of everything that Coach Osborne has helped put in place," Hoppen said. "I mean, he helped get us in the best conference in the country. He was also behind our new practice facility and played a big role in getting the new arena built. Every recruit will be playing in that arena, and both facilities are among the best in the country."
Hoppen sees the challenge at a higher level than most of us. "Our next big man," he said, "has the chance to become our biggest legend because he can take us from the ground floor to wherever he wants. The sky is the limit!"
When Hoppen played, the Huskers would draw between 12,000 and 14,000 fans for every conference game over a four-year stretch. "You watch," Hoppen said. "If we put a good product on the floor, the fans will be there. We'll sell that new arena out every game. We'll be right there with the best of them."
Tim Miles: The Right Man at Right Time
Hoppen and Lue see Tim Miles, Nebraska's first-year head coach, as perhaps the biggest piece for Nebraska becoming a basketball school. "I think he's the right guy," Hoppen said. "When they first hired him, I didn't know much about him. But after being around him for almost a year now, I definitely think he's the right one to take us where we want to go. It just proves something we all should know by now – never doubt Tom Osborne."
Lue certainly does not, especially after seeing Nebraska's new practice facility for the first time last Friday. "It was just unbelievable," he said. "My coach, Doc Rivers (head coach of the Boston Celtics, a team Lue now serves as an assistant coach), came to Lincoln last year for a football game and saw the practice facility. He said it was the best he's seen … ever! I looked at every part of it, and I agree. The new arena will be great, too."
Lue was a point guard at Nebraska for three years and a point guard in the NBA for 11 years, including two on world championship teams. Since he's well aware that Nebraska successfully recruited the point guard the Huskers sought, I ask Lue if a big man remains the biggest piece to the puzzle.
"Yes, and I believe they will find the right big man," Lue said. "Anyone who comes and sees what we have here now, how could you not want to become a part of it?"
Likes Miles' Energy, Passion, Personality
The Lue view sounds strikingly similar to Hoppen's outlook, so we ask for Tyron's take on Miles leading the charge.
"Coach Miles is going to get the players to do the things we haven't done before at Nebraska," Lue said. "His energy, his passion, his love for the game and his personality will draw them to Lincoln. I see Coach Miles getting Nebraska's first NCAA win, and when he does that, it's only the beginning of what will follow."
Opportunity indeed knocks for big men with courage, confidence and a keen sense of an historical challenge.
"I hear about some of those big guys they're already brought in and others who might be interested," said Hoppen, who played six years in the NBA. "I know those big guys are young, but I hope at least one can see himself making history and becoming the cornerstone of what's going to be a very solid college basketball program for years to come."

EDINA, Mo. - Knox County senior Hannah Strange suffered a torn ACL in the Eagles' game against North Shelby on Dec. 18.
"Hannah is a great kid, and it is going to be hard on her to have to sit and watch from the bench," said head coach Ron Lebel.
Strange underwent surgery on her knee Dec. 27, and is out for the rest of her senior year. She will, however, travel with the team for the rest of the season.

Fresh off the source is the news that a young character actor (CA) is going to be a Daddy soon! While CA is a total package to make it big - looks, talent, and intensity, he is without a doubt always a magnet for scandals and intrigues. Notwithstanding, being hounded by talks of bad habits that had thwarted his career's positive trajectory. Many good opportunities that were supposed to land beautifully on his lap were lost in the process. His entry into showbiz was met with a big welcome owing to the fact that he comes from a family of thespians, who also answers to the label showbiz royalty. He did deliver in the beginning but as time went by, he allegedly fell into the habit that had greatly affected his performance and the family's professional image.
Now that talks are rife that he will be a father in a few months, will CA take his career more seriously this time and steer it into the right direction? Hopefully, he will be able to catch up with all the lost opportunities. It is never too late. Incidentally, CA has gone through a lot with the future mother (FM) of his child. Allegedly, FM was the one who got in the way of a network's prized actress during an out of town taping, and was even threatened by the possibility that CA would drop her in favor of another actress who is now happily in the arms of a famous non-showbiz personality.
Hopefully, the arrival of his baby will bring more sense and direction into his life.
"A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities." Eda J. Le Shan

Hi Everyone!
It is that time once again when we will be having another Genealogy Program at the central location of the Schaumburg Township District Library on Tuesday evening, October 12, 2010 at 7:30 PM. We are located at 130 S. Roselle Road in Schaumburg, IL.
There is no pre-registration required in order to attend the program. There is no fee charged to attend. Anyone can attend this program. You do not have to be a library card holder with the Schaumburg Township District Library in order to attend.
Here is a summary of the information about the program:
There are at least seven Social Security Death Indexes available online. Although they all originate from the same database, the Social Security Administration's Death Master File, they inexplicably do not all provide the same information. This presentation is a tour of the online databases, highlighting the different features of each.
Larry is a Minnesota native, who settled in the Chicago suburbs 20 years ago.
He is 15 year member of CAGG-NI (the Computer Assisted Genealogy Group of Northern Illinois), and has served as its President, as well as the Chair of the Program, Publicity and Membership Committees.
He started researching his family in 1973, after he first heard the legend that John Philip Sousa was a cousin of his German great-grandmother (a story he has not yet been able to substantiate).
He and his wife have four children and two grandchildren. He fondly hopes that someday someone in his immediate family will appreciate all the work that he has done on the family tree.
The doors to the room will open at approximately 7 PM so participants can pick up any handouts, review books and journals and interact with other participants. Tony Kierna, the STDL genealogist, will start the meeting at 7:30. Introductions of new participants will occur as well as a brief review of handouts and genealogical matters. It is expected that the guest speaker's presentation will start at around 8-8:15 PM. We will end the session by 9:30 PM.
For further information contact Tony Kierna at 847-923-3390.

General and business aviation on the Commission's agenda
Today, the European Commission has adopted an agenda for general and business aviation in Europe. For the first time since the creation of the EU internal aviation market, the Commission has studied this sector, quantified its value and identified the challenges that it is facing. The Commission now proposes to integrate general and business aviation into the EU air transport policy. Improving data gathering, screening of legislation to ensure proportionality and integrating general and business aviation into the capacity optimisation initiatives are the main elements of this agenda.
Vice-President Jacques Barrot, Commissioner for transport, said: "We fully recognise the value of non-commercial aviation and intend to work with this sector in Europe, as it is a large source of employment, expertise, technology and revenues".
General and business aviation[1] is a very diverse sector which greatly differs from the wider airline industry. These activities mainly involve small and medium-sized enterprises or not-for-profit organisations relying on volunteers. Very often these organisations or small firms have limited resources to keep up with changes in regulatory or technical requirements. The EU air transport policy has to recognise these specificities.
The increase of air traffic in Europe necessitates the inclusion of general and business aviation in initiatives for optimising limited aviation infrastructure and capacity. Also, despite technological developments, general and business aviation has an impact on the environment, and, like the wider airline industry or any other means of transport, it must seek to minimise these impacts.
General and business aviation offers flexible transportation for individuals,
enterprises and local communities, increasing mobility of people, productivity
of enterprises and regional cohesion. It provides high value services to the
general public, including environmental surveillance, fire-fighting, map
charting and emergency medical transportation. Recreational and sport aviation,
by promoting technical knowledge and aeronautical skills, is an important source
of qualified staff for the broader aviation industry.
[1] General and business aviation encompasses activities ranging from recreational flying with non-powered aircraft to complex operation of high-performance business jets and specialised aerial works. There are up to 50.000 motor-powered general and business aviation aircraft in Europe. In addition, about 180.000 – 200.000 of microlight and non motor powered aircraft are used for sport and recreation. In 2006 nearly 10% of all aircraft movements registered by EUROCONTROL could be attributed to this quickly growing sector.

A hilarious compilation of wrong-headed documentaries shown in schools and churches in the 40's and 50's.
Towards the end of World War II, the divorce rate in the United States climbed at a rapid pace - almost doubling the pre-war rate. Social reformers began to panic as young couples were rushing off to get married and raise families without considering incompatibilities that could cause significant problems down the road. Marrying below one's station or social class was also a big concern, as was the rush to wed just to have sex. The films on this DVD, drawn from the A/V Geeks Educational Film Archive, were created as cautionary tales so couples could look at their own relationships and, hopefully, avoid taking a plunge into truly awful marriages. While the divorce rate did eventually return to pre-war levels in the decades to follow, the challenges to marriage became more complex and these films quickly lost their usefulness.
Social-Sex Attitudes in Adolescence (1953 - Crawley Films - 23 minutes): This surprisingly progressive film teaches us that well-adjusted couple, Bill and Mary, weren't just born that way. The parents had to constantly shape and hone their offspring into the perfect young adults that they are - and even then, there were problems. Mary keeps getting crushes on her girlfriends and Bill is having a grand old time sowing his wild oats with the fast crowd.
How Do You Know It's Love? (1950 - Coronet Films - 13 minutes): Nora and Jack seem to be in love, but neither of them are sure. Jack asks his older brother for advice and Nora turns to Mom to figure things out. Now that they are both clear on what "love" is, could Nora's dislike of Chinese food ultimately break the couple up?
Are You Ready For Marriage? (1950 - Coronet Films - 16 minutes): Larry and Sue are ready to get married in spite of their parents' disapproval. Luckily, the local marriage counselor and his bizarre collection of visual aids help to point out that the couple's rush to marry might be premature.
Marriage Is a Partnership (1951 - Coronet Films - 16 minutes): Traveling on a train, Dottie reflects on her first year of marriage to Pete. Like most women of the time, she quit her job to be a housewife and is bored to tears. Also, the in-laws are meddling in the couple's affairs. Will a baby save this marriage, or is Dottie's train ride an escape from a mundane marriage?
Should I Marry Outside My Faith? (1962 - Family Films - 29 minutes): So, you've figured out that you have the mature love and mutual respect necessary for a healthy, long lasting marriage. But, do you have compatible religions? Jean (a Catholic) and Pete (a Protestant) plan to wed, but are counseled against it by their family, clergy and friends. Luckily, Jean and Pete's friends have a mixed marriage and it's doing okay. Or is it?

NEWBERRY, S.C. | The University of West Alabama baseball team fell to Newberry 7-6 in 12 innings Sunday.

There's a unique event coming to Smyrna next weekend, an Aquathlon.
Get ready for an unusual, and exciting, athletic event in the Smyrna area next weekend! It's time for the Fifth Annual Julie's Race Aquathlon to be held at Lake Como, and through the streets of Smyrna on Friday, July 19th.
Event organizer Jess Manning said Julie's Race is unique in that it features two swimming events sandwiched around a running event. "Many of our triathlons involve running, cycling and swimming, but we chose to do the two swimming events with the 5K race in the middle," he said.
The event is held each year in honor of Jess's late sister Julie, and the proceeds benefit a scholarship fund that has been formed in her name to help send children and parents thru the ISR (infant swimming resource) swim course. You can learn more about this life-saving program at http://www.infantswim.com.
Manning said the number of participants has varied over the years, depending on how many high school students participate. "We usually have 60-75 athletes, but when we have more high school teams, the number increases to well over 100 contestants. We've had athletes from the age of eleven up to about 75," he said.
The participants come from all over the state, including groups from as far away as the Delaware Swim & Fitness Club in the Hockessin area.
The event features a ¼ mile swim starting at the beach at Lake Como. Wetsuits are allowed and recommended.
After the first swim, participants will then complete a 5K race on an out-and-back loop course through downtown Smyrna. Finally, the athletes will compete in a 1/8 mile swim, again starting at Lake Como.
Manning said this event sanctioned by the USAT. For more information about the race, contact:

A 54-year-old woman died Sunday when her Pottawatomie County home caught fire, making her death the second fire fatality in 2013.
A 54-year-old woman died Sunday when her Pottawatomie County home caught fire, making her death the second fire fatality in 2013.
JoAnn Sellars, assistant state fire marshal, said the fire occurred at a mobile home in a rural area west of Shawnee. A passing motorist reported the blaze. When McLoud fire crews arrived at the scene, the mobile home was fully engulfed in flames, Sellars said.
The woman's body was found near an exit of that home, she said.
The woman was positively identified Monday as Karen Mason, said Amy Elliott, spokeswoman for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Mason's cause of death was listed as smoke inhalation and thermal burns, Elliott said, and the manner of death is considered an accident.
Sellars, who said Mason was the only occupant of the home, said the mobile home was destroyed by the blaze.
Two state fire marshal agents have investigated cause of the fire. Sellars said those agents have determined the fire originated in the living room area, but cause of the blaze has been listed as undetermined.
Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth also had deputies at that scene. He said there is nothing suspicious about the blaze requiring further investigation.
The woman's death is the second fire-related death in Pottawatomie County this year.
Martin J. King, 44, of Tecumseh, died of smoke inhalation when a fire occurred at his home early last month.
A passerby also saw and reported that blaze.
Firefighters remind all residents to have a working smoke detector in their homes. Crews recommend installing fresh batteries every six months and testing those smoke alarms each month.

Young actress (YS) and young actor (YR) have the most successful love team of their generation. Their partnership has generated a rabid bunch of fans, who are known for threatening other potential partners for YS and YR. Recently, YS and YR have gone separate ways in their acting assignments and love life. Their TV and movie assignments allowed them to meet possible love interests in reel and real life.
YR found his love interest in a very popular performer (P). In contrast, YS accidentally found herself in a new love team with new actor (N). The YS-N love team has generated its own share of fans. Then, another young hunk (H) is bent on pursuing YS but she just could not stand his smelly feet.
At present, YS is not interested in N or H. According to YS, her next boyfriend has to be even better than YR. As to what "better" means, your guess is as good as mine.
Do you know who YS, YR, P, N and H are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Hello to all members. I'm trying to find some more help on another problem I have found in my script. My last post was resolved with the patience of DataMiser who guided me through the unfamiliar software code. I'm by no means a professional and still learning the basics. Basically I have a series of server side .asp scripts most of which work brilliantly now, but I have one problem that I can't figure out.
An explanation of what it does may be a good place to start. One script takes the information from a screen form and enters it into an Access DB and this works great. I have another form which allows me to edit that form and change any of the fields shown on the approved form. Every field works great with the exception of one. This field contains up to 14 dates all correctly entered into the DB. If I change a date on the form it works, if I add another date, it works and the DB is updated. If I try to delete one of the entries however it cannot perform the task and simply leaves the data intact within the database.
I think I have pinned the problem down to a small part of the form and can post the data...... Is there anybody out there that would like to take up the challenge to teach me a few more bits of programming ? I've tried everything that I learnt from DataMiser but the gems I learnt from him can't be used here as a little sql knowledge, which I don't have is needed. This again is a bit out of my league and hopefully there will be a patient teacher out there.... Can anybody help please. ???? I can

Remember when Matt Barkley and Ryan Nassib were in a "two-horse race" to be the Bills' pick at No. 8? Neither do they. Unpredictability remained the theme of the 2013 NFL Draft on Friday, with Barkley and Nassib both failing to find new homes while Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu and Manti Te'o saw their slides stop in ideal spots. Oh, and you may have heard: the New York Jets found a new quarterback.
On Thursday, Geno Smith was so despondent he decided to leave New York in a tizzy. 24 hours and one cooler head later, he found out he may never leave. The most picked apart prospect in this year's class has found a home, albeit one where the scrutiny won't dissipate, but intensify. Make no mistake: Smith is the Jets' new quarterback. Tim Tebow will soon be gone. Mark Sanchez — and his comical, fully guaranteed $8.25 million salary — shouldn't be far behind. That leaves Smith to "compete" with David Garrard. It's a competition that will be rigged in his favor, and one where even if he loses the first battle, he'll most definitely win the war. Will Smith — who threw for 42 touchdowns compared to just six interceptions while converting 71.2 percent of his passes as a senior — cut it in the NFL? It's hard to say. He missed more open throws than his completion percentage would indicate, and appeared to lose focus as the season progressed. But Sanchez has proven beyond any doubt he's not the answer in New York. It's time for a new question.
Don't get me wrong: San Diego is an extremely nice place. It's clean, has a world-class zoo and weather you'd usually only expect to find in a "Truman Show"-type bubble. But in NFL terms? It's relatively anonymous, especially with the Chargers undertaking a mini-rebuild and facing an uncertain future in their home of 53 years. In other words, it's an absolutely perfect spot for Manti Te'o to remake his image and launch his pro career. Between New Year's Day and the Draft, Te'o's life spiraled from idyllic to a Coen Brothers-esque nightmare. Everything that was good became bad, and the bad was really, really embarrassing. It was the kind of baggage that might crush a player under the bright lights of New York City, or even in a football-mad place like Minnesota. In San Diego, Te'o has found a home where he can focus on football instead of being the focus. Unlike when he received that first fateful message from "Lennay Kekua," Te'o is in the right place at the right time.
Geno Smith has found happiness. Manti Te'o has found peace. Matt Barkley? Pain. The one-time "guaranteed No. 1 overall pick" has tumbled all the way to the fourth round — at the very least — which is just two fewer losses than USC suffered during its disastrous 2012 season. This, after Barkley was promoted by a handful of high-profile writers as a possible option for the Bills at No. 8. We know why Barkley is falling. He has a weak arm. It potentially got weaker when he racked his shoulder against UCLA in November. But this far? There's no great explanation, especially with so many teams having such dire needs at quarterback. The smart money is on Barkley coming off the board early on day three, but then again, the smart money was on him coming off the board early on day two. Barkley will find himself an NFL team, but not before he loses a good deal of sanity.
A player known for his off-the-field missteps as much as his amazing nickname committed one more blunder on Wednesday. Not only did Tyrann Mathieu decide to host a draft-night blowout, he decided to host a draft night blowout for "1st round draft pick Tyrann Mathieu, AKA Honey Badger of LSU." Or at least that's what his flier said. The party was soon canceled, but reality wasn't. Mathieu didn't come off the board in the first round, or even the second, falling all the way to the Cardinals at No. 69 in the third. But while the slide may have been humbling, the destination was a relief. The Honey Badger will be playing alongside his college teammate and offseason training partner, CB Patrick Peterson. The jury is very much still out on whether Mathieu can get his act together, but he's definitely in the right spot.
Barkley and Nassib are the obvious answers, but running backs Eddie Lacy and Johnathan Franklin aren't far behind. Widely considered the top two backs in the draft, Lacy didn't get off the schneid until No. 61, while Franklin is still twisting in the wind. Three runners came off the board before Lacy (Giovani Bernard, Le'Veon Bell and Montee Ball), while one more went right after (Christine Michael). Things are even more bleak for Franklin, who will now be selected after Arkansas' Knile Davis. This is the same Knile Davis who hasn't put anything good on tape since 2010. Now the question is whether Franklin will slide out of the draft altogether like Chris Polk in 2012. It's highly unlikely, but this has become the draft of "highly unlikely."
After carrying the ball a staggering 924 times in four college seasons, Montee Ball may not be in store for a long NFL career. That's an absurd amount of mileage for a player still eight months shy of his 23rd birthday. That doesn't mean he won't have a productive NFL career, however. Ball is not a special athlete, but he is a tenacious one. A powerful, one-cut back who runs angry, Ball is ready made to exploit the soft fronts he'll face thanks to Peyton Manning's $96 million arm, and is going to get more goal-line touches than most running backs could ever even dream of. That translates to fantasy gold, and major — if not long-term — production.
Bill Belichick knows more about football than you. He knows more about football than almost anybody. But sometimes he knows too much for his own good. For all we know, Rutgers S Duron Harmon is a good player. We also know there was no need to snag someone widely considered a late-round prospect at No. 91. Head-scratching day-two picks have become an annual rite of spring for BB and the Patriots, but the problem is most of them still aren't finding the itch. Maybe Harmon is the next Rob Gronkowski, but there's a far greater chance he's the next Tavon Wilson.
As we've established, it was a night of many surprises, but how about CB Dwayne Gratz, LB Sio Moore and CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson? They're the three UConn Huskies who all came off the board between picks 64-70. Although UConn football is no longer an afterthought, the fact that it bested Miami (FL), Michigan and Ohio State's combined total draft picks in the span of only seven selections is stunning.

The Burroughs girls basketball team dominated Rosamond in getting its third win of the season, 66-13 Tuesday in Rosamond.
The Burros led 15-3 after one quarter and 33-8 at the intermission.
ROSAMOND — The Burroughs girls basketball team dominated Rosamond in getting its third win of the season, 66-13 Tuesday in Rosamond.
The Burros led 15-3 after one quarter and 33-8 at the intermission.
The Burros scored another 22 points in the third quarter to jump out to a 55-13 lead and held Rosamond scoreless in the fourth to cruise to the easy win.
The Burros held the Roadrunners to five or fewer points in every quarter of the game to win by 53 points, which is the team's biggest win in eight years.
Only two games were close to a 53-point margin in those years. In the 2005-2006 season, Burroughs beat Arvin 60-31, which is a 29-point margin. In the 2010-2011 season, Burroughs beat Independence by a score of 62-22, which is a 40-point win.
Rachelle Schiller led the team in scoring with 12 points and had seven steals. Alex Simmons had 10 points and seven steals. Celsea McGrew had nine points and six rebounds. Aubrey Hayes had nine points and four rebounds. Madison Schiller had eight points and five steals. Talia Forsythe had seven points and six rebounds. Joanna O'Neil had four points and five rebounds. Chantia Jennings had three points and three rebounds. Candace Perez had two points and five assists, while Brianna Moore added two points.
The Burros' 3-0 start is the team's best since the 2006-2007 season. Burroughs started 5-0 that year, but finished 10-11 overall.
This year's version of the Burros move on to play Highland at 5:30 p.m. Friday in the Burroughs Barn.
It will be the first Friday night basketball game of the year.
Highland beat Burroughs 44-33 last year, but lost two of its top four scorers.
The Bulldogs will rely on two juniors for most of their scoring. Ashley Kelsick averaged 15 points per game last season to lead the Bulldogs' squad. Tiffani Buchanan averaged 7.1 points as the third option in the Bulldogs' attack last season.

Should Rockford embark on another major road reconstruction, or should the city devote a lot more money to fixing neighborhood and collector streets?
That's what comes to mind when you take a look at the planners' next big idea - eliminating the 1960s spaghetti junction known laughingly (by me) as the Whitman Street Interchange. I say laughingly because it doesn't really interchange anything. It's a strange, "you-can't-get-there-from-here," politically influenced affair to make sure we down-market west-siders could not get on Rural Street after crossing the Whitman Street Bridge. And so it is to this day, when Rural Street neighborhoods are no longer exclusive enclaves controlled by industrialists.
Question: If they didn't want us to get to Rural Street, why'd they build the bridge in the first place?
What they did was to bulldoze dozens of homes in a neat, working-class neighborhood of the near east side, for no good reason except to tell the world that yes, Rockford could build confusing junctions, just like big cities, by golly! The "interchange" appeared prominently in Chamber of Commerce promotional brochures.
When it comes to Rockford road projects, I wish we could have skipped the 1950s and 1960s. As weasel-worded politicians say, "mistakes were made." Planners assumed the Woodruff Avenue Expressway would soon be built from the far southeast side, following the railroad alignment through the city and into downtown area, probably along North Second Street and north to Wisconsin. (The phantom expressway was re-named to honor Swedish diplomat and war hero Raoul Wallenberg. Some honor!)
Other streets were redesigned to connect to the phantom expressway. Sixth and Ninth streets were widened and converted to one-ways to connect to the expressway. The "cloverleaf" at Spring Creek Road and North Second Street was constructed in two phases, and North Second was made a six-lane through Sinnissippi Park, taking out valuable park land, crushing the sunken gardens into a narrow sliver of land. And yes, the Whitman Street Bridge and faux interchange were built.
All this infrastructure was designed to handle traffic streaming through greater Rockford on the new expressway. Without the expressway, which we no longer need because traffic patterns have changed dramatically, we don't need all the connections to it.
We do know that $4 million will be needed to fix or replace bridges on the Whitman spaghetti junction. Or, we know that to rebuild the "interchange" into a smaller, simpler intersection that would take up much less space, would cost $15.5 million.
What to do? Fix the bridges for $4 million and write off the Whitman Street "interchange" as a mistake too big to fix? Or do we set aside money to rebuild the whole shebang? Aldermen are wrestling with that.
Meanwhile, we have residential streets in various stages of disrepair in older neighborhoods on both sides of the river. Some aldermen, like Tom McNamara, the 3rd Ward Democrat, want to spend more on those kinds of streets, and if you drive through his ward you'll understand why. Forlorn streets abound. The same is true of the 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th and 13th wards.
Fact is, we'll never have enough money to fix all streets. The reason has to do with city government's historic failure to spend sufficient money on basic infrastructure from incorporation in 1852 through the 1970s. Only when John McNamara (Tom's dad) became mayor in 1981 was an ongoing, five-year capital improvement plan adopted. But we'll always be playing catch-up. Thanks, forefathers!
