Description: Mastersmith Bill Burke's chef's knives are among the highest performing cutlery found anywhere. His heat treatment technique, combined with his choice of steel, results in edge holding that is far beyond other knives. This is a knife that you won't want to put down.
This high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The santoku is the traditional Japanese chef's knife. This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper. The santoku has quickly become the new favorite for chefs in the West. The gentle arch of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
Like his hunting knives, this utility knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The heat treatment followed the formulas developed Bill Burke in conjunction with Mastersmith Ed Fowler and creates some of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere. A differential heat treatment results in a soft, supportive spine and an extremely hard, long lasting edge. Showing his skill at the forge, the top half of the knife is forge finished. This technique also imparts some oxidation resistance and resists foods sticking to the knife.
The handle is formed from high tech carbon fiber set on a distal tapered full tang. The carbon weave is nicely highlighted by a central mosaic pin. It holds up well to the heavy demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. It is nicely carved to swell at the palm, move into a slimmer waist and finally to swell again at the beak at the end of the handle. The knife has perfect balance and this ensures it is as much of a joy to use as it is to look at!

200th Article
This article is the 200th article written on Tron Wiki.
Matrix Blaster is one of the video games created by Kevin Flynn in 1981 while working at ENCOM. Along with Space Paranoids, this game was stolen by Ed Dillinger and claimed as his own, before Flynn got evidence against Dillinger and had him fired.
The game became a great success and helped start ENCOM's reign as the biggest video game company in the world.
Matrix Blaster was only briefly mentioned by Flynn in the movie. The game itself is never shown, however a neon Matrix Blaster sign can be seen in some shots of Flynn's Arcade.
2009 Flynn's Arcade ReopeningEdit
A Matrix Blaster neon sign could be seen hanging on a wall at the Flynn's Arcade reopening event in San Diego.

The Price of Everything and the Value of Nothing
What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets by Michael J. Sandel (Farrar Straus & Giroux, $33.65)
Reviewed by Steve Riley
There are those who say that New Zealand has become NZ Inc. What they mean by this is that New Zealand is being run just like a business. The government, and increasingly voters, are looking out for the best return possible.
To give just a few examples: wealthy tourists, identified by their ownership of a gold or silver frequent-flyer card with a Chinese airline, now have access to a streamlined visa process; there has been an abortive attempt to open up conservation land to mining companies; and labour laws are urgently changed by the government at the behest of film companies. Even critics of government policies get in on the act. It is not uncommon to hear the argument against, say, mining of conservation land in terms of the damage that it will do New Zealand's 'clean, green' image and, ultimately, the tourist dollar.
Those who talk about NZ Inc no doubt do so in pejorative terms. But what, exactly, is wrong with it, if anything? Defenders of the kinds of policies that I have outlined will point out that a small nation like New Zealand must operate at the level of market competition in order to prosper. But, for some, the lingering feeling remains that something important is being lost by treating New Zealand as merely an economic trading unit, almost on a par with Hewlett-Packard. This feeling, that something important has been lost, would no doubt be shared by Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel. His new book, What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets, discusses the increasing intrusion of money and markets into areas where, arguably, they do not belong.
In fact, the title of Sandel's book is something of a misnomer. Sandel is really concerned with what money can, but, arguably, shouldn't be able to buy. Looking through the extensive list of interesting, and sometimes surprising, examples with which Sandel furnishes us it is clear that there is, in fact, very little that money cannot buy. We learn that it can buy prison cell upgrades, the right to shoot endangered species, places for wealthy lobbyists in queues for Congressional hearings, the rental of the womb of a poor Indian woman, and advertising space on police-cars and in public schools, amongst many other things.
That a fairly small Pacific nation might want to sell itself to Hollywood executives and wealthy tourists would probably not come as a surprise to Sandel. Nevertheless that some people bemoan the encroachment of money and markets into areas of life where they have traditionally played little, if any, role does not prove that we have lost anything important when this happens. Many economists might argue that markets merely add new options, including options that we might otherwise never have expected to enjoy, and satisfy more preferences than would otherwise have been possible. Nevertheless, Sandel's examples are sometimes disturbing and it would do to think about why that might be.
Early on in What Money Can't Buy, Sandel promises to offer a "philosophical framework for thinking through" the "role and reach of markets". Ultimately and unfortunately, however, this framework is disappointingly slight. Sandel is surely correct to note that what he calls market reasoning is incomplete without moral reasoning. The operation of the market is not merely a kind of value-free mechanism for distributing resources. Of course, money and a market economy are good for some things as Sandel admits. By means of money I can do certain things, like buy the laptop on which I am currently writing, that would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for me to otherwise do. But we should be able to say why it is that we think money can properly buy things like laptops whilst we recoil at the idea of buying and selling babies.
Sandel is at his most persuasive when he attacks those wertfrei economists, like Steven Leavitt and Stephen Dubner of Freakonomics fame, who declare that all we need are incentives both to predict what people will do and to tell us what kind of policies we ought to put in place to get them to do it. I worry, however, that these represent rather easy targets and that Sandel does not engage with the best that has been thought and written about the merits and virtues of a market society.
What, then, is Sandel's philosophical framework for thinking through the role and reach of markets? There are two moral thoughts at work. The first "asks about the inequalities that market choices might reflect". This is the objection that market choices can reflect underlying economic inequality. When money rules and anything can be bought, some transactions will be coercive or unfair. For example, we might worry that it is mainly poor and vulnerable women who will rent out their wombs for commercial surrogacy. Commercial surrogacy is coerced, we might say, when the money represents an offer that cannot be very well refused. Other transactions will be unfair, even if they are not coerced. If body organs are sold for money then some people will lose out on body organs simply because they are poor.
These are legitimate concerns, especially in a world where some people earn $1 per day. But the argument here is for policing certain transactions (for example, weeding out transactions that are based on large inequalities of wealth). Such an argument would be a controversial one and Sandel does not pursue it in detail.
Sandel focuses instead on what he calls the "corruption argument". This is an argument that markets and money corrupt some goods and undermine traditional social norms even when the background conditions to the proposed exchange are fair and the transaction un-coerced.
The corruption argument is an important one, but it is here that Sandel's promised philosophical framework proves unsatisfactory. Sandel argues that "we corrupt a good, an activity, or a social practice whenever we treat it according to a lower norm than is appropriate to it". Good. This is an interesting and important idea. To treat a country as simply a way of getting the best return possible rather than a civic enterprise might be considered by some to be treating it according to a lower norm than is appropriate to it. So, perhaps, NZ Inc 'devalues' or 'taints' the civic enterprise that is New Zealand. But for this point to be truly persuasive we need to know how we are to decide whether some norms are 'lower' than others.
Rather than provide a detailed philosophical framework for making such decisions Sandel provides scores of examples and his feelings, or the reported feelings of others, about those examples. It is undoubtedly true that 'some people' view buying babies as immoral and corrupting, just as 'some people' would find the sale of conservation land to mining companies disturbing. The question is; why, and in what way, are these things devalued when they are sold? For example, would it be acceptable if the New Zealand government gifted the conservation land to mining companies? It is hard to see that it would even when the market or money plays no role in the transaction. But Sandel does not give us enough of a framework to be able to determine the answers to such questions adequately. This feels like a lost opportunity.
Sandel is correct to worry about the 'crowding out' of non-market motives and virtues. For example, he notes an interesting Israeli case of a kindergarten that decided to charge a fine on parents who were late in picking up their children. But with the policy in place the number of parents turning up late to collect their children actually increased. Some economists might say that the kindergarten simply got the incentives wrong, that they charged too little. Sandel suggests that the parents came to see the fine as a way of paying for a service. And when the kindergarten tried to reverse the policy they were unable to do so. The market incentives had 'crowded out' the non-market motives of the parents.
'Crowding out' is an interesting phenomenon but I wonder if sometimes we should not be glad that market motives have crowded out non-market ones. If I am concerned primarily with making money then, for example, I will not care whether that money comes from someone of a different race or sexuality. This is an old argument, one that was made by Montesquieu, amongst others, several hundred years ago. Maybe the money motive is not the most noble of motives. And Sandel is right that it is, sometimes, a completely inappropriate one. But the mere possibility that market motives are not always morally contemptible, that they are sometimes quite appropriate, means that we need some way of distinguishing just when 'crowding out' should be encouraged or discouraged. Sandel leaves this task to the reader.
There is much in Sandel's book to get the conversation started regarding what should and should not be up for sale, and it is presented in a clear and accessible manner. On a charitable interpretation, this conversation is exactly what Sandel wants. It is not just up to the arm-chair philosopher to decide what things people should or should not value, or how. But neither is it only up to the economist, or the technocratic civil servant, or the politician. In Sandel's eyes it is up to all of us as a community.
And it is here that there is one last thing that might be said about NZ Inc. Treating a country, a civic enterprise, as a way of making the best return possible may undermine the very civic values that make such a debate possible. Sandel's book is not quite up to the task of giving us a detailed framework for this debate, but he is surely correct to note that it is a debate that we ought to be having.

Steel Battalion Heavy Armor Nearing Completion
The long wait for Steel Battalion Heavy Armor may be coming to an end. During a stage event at Microsoft's Xbox 360 fan event in Akihabara today, producers Kenji Kataoka and Tatsuya Kitabayashi hinted that the game is close to going gold.
Steel Battalion Heavy Armor, or Jutekki as it's known in Japan, was one of the many surprise announcements from Microsoft's Tokyo Game Show keynote address in 2010. Developed jointly by Capcom and From Software, the game is a Kinect exclusive. While you use the standard Xbox 360 controller for movement and attacking, you use Kinect to look around the cockpit and do such things as flip switches and operate the periscope.
At today's event, games like Diabolical Pitch (formerly Codename D) and Crimson Dragon (formerly Project Draco) were on playable display for the public, but Steel Battalion Heavy Armor's showing was limited to a press conference. Kataoka and Kitabayashi's demonstration was of the same Manhattan stage that was shown to the press at last year's Tokyo Game Show.
While it might be worrying to see the same presentation as TGS, Kataoka assured that development on the game is going well. The game is close to being complete, he said. Kitabayashi promised that they'd deliver a game that exceeds everyone's expectations.

They will face Alabama A&M , 1-6, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in the second round.
Conner Holzinger scored at 18:04 of the first half for Asheville on a penalty kick.
"We started slow," said Lipscomb coach Charles Morrow. "We didn't start playing with a sense of purpose until we went down a goal."
That may be the most frustrating part of the season so far for Morrow.
"This is the same problem we had against Michigan State and Michigan," said Morrow. "It's frustrating. Until we get it fixed we can't expect to be successful."
In the second half Asheville moved ahead 2-0 on a goal by Bryan Bartels at the 64:02 mark.
The Bisons prevented the shutout when Garret Pettis scored at 72:26. He was assisted by Garrett McLaughlin.
Also frustrating for Morrow was that the Bisons out shot Asheville 36-10 overall and 16-6 in shots on goal, but could only produce one goal.
Lassi Hurskainen made 15 saves for Asheville.
Brent McGee started in goal for Lipscomb and gave up one goal and made three saves in the first half. Patrick Walsh played the second half. He gave up one goal and made one save.
"We played well enough to win it," said Morrow. "We were unlucky in not being able to tie the game or get the go-ahead goal. "We have to have more desire. We can' wait until we are down a goal to see it."
The Bisons are 2-3-1. Asheville is 2-4-1.
In the first game of the tournament Belmont beat Alabama A & M 4-3 in overtime. It was the first win of the season for Belmont, 1-3-1.
Sunday at noon Belmont will face North Carolina-Asheville.

Many of you will have read about this research in the SM forum here.
I have added a post there on Rod's original post, but want to also cross post it here, because we now have some blog posts explaining more about that research and the cavalier tissue collection scheme set up by Margaret, which I am delighted to say, provided all the data for the paper. This is the post:
I would like to give a special thanks here to Margaret Carter, because the research behind this paper was made possible entirely by the Cavalier Collection scheme that she started, to collect the donated bodies of our cavaliers that have passed away. This scheme enables their tissues to help a number of different research projects.
This research paper is the first to result directly from her collection project. I think it is wonderful to see such work and to understand so clearly that the donation of a cavalier, while it can be very difficult to do at a difficult time, can bring such insight. I know that for me, it really reinforced the consolation I have felt after Lucy's death in donating her to this scheme. I have her ashes back now and her little box sits on the shelf next to that of my cat Quincy, where they can both watch over everybody when we are relaxing together in the sitting room.
Margaret has made a wonderful blog post that explains how this scheme came about and how it connects to this research, here:
I hope others might be encouraged to consider a donation–either of their own cavalier, when the time comes, or of the cash donation to this research. We can take donations for the collection scheme through Rupert's Fund–just indicate that you wish it to go to the collection scheme:
You can read more about this actual research and what it means on Clare Rusbridge's blog, here:
Clare noted in an e-mail that the findings may also lead to a consideration of new pain treatments, because some of the findings regarding the difference of the spinal cords in dogs with SM and dogs without SM indicate that some new avenues might be tried. So, in so many ways, this research paper has produced really valuable information that will bring new insight into how SM develops, what is actually altered and damaged inside the dogs, and potentially, perhaps some new ways of addressing the pain of affected dogs.

Golded+ Wiki is created: http://golded.org/wiki/. The volunteers are requres!
GoldED — the popular editor of messages for Fidonet and compatible networks. Has been written by Odinnom Syorensenom (dates. Odinn Sørensen) and Dirkom Müller (Dirk A. Mueller) also it was spread on conditions shareware. The last version created by them was issued for five platforms (DOS16, DOS32, OS/2, Win32, Linux).
In 1998 Syorensen has published source code GoldED and Goldware Utilities versions 3.0.x and not gathering incomplete version 4.x under license GNU General Public License of version 2; libraries Goldware Library — under GNU Library General Public License versions 2. Resolution on configuration of all this software with programs and the libraries falling under determination Open Source has been in addition given.
Code CXL, one of the libraries used in GoldED and GoldED +, has been licensed by Odinnom at the author. Since then control over it was received by the company «Innovative Data Concepts» which by 1998, on suspicion of author GoldED, has disappeared. [2] usage of residuals of this code has served one of the reasons for packet removal goldedplus from Debian in 2006, in addition to presence уязвимостей in output agent UUE after servicing a packet has refused its support.
Development GoldED has been stopped by 1999 and in the middle of 1999 Syorensen has abandoned Fidonet, having published the initial texts GoldED 3.0.1
GoldEd +
After a failure of Syorensena from project development, development of the editor has been continued by Alexander S.Aganichevym (ASA) under a title «GoldED-asa» which took the initial texts of the program published by Syorensenom. When to version GoldED-asa10 beta 3 names of files with version instructions have ceased to be located in restriction MS-DOS «8.3», the project has been renamed in «Golded +», and the upcoming version was Golded + 1.1.0. Golded + became really multiplatform editor, operations on it портированию on bigendian-processors are conducted.
By 2007 GoldED + almost has completely forced out old GoldED.

High Plains cotton farmers may want to consider thresholds for caterpillars as moving targets this year.
"With cotton prices as low as they are and with production costs high, farmers will need to economize," says Extension entomologist Jim Leser, who is with the Texas A&M Research and Extension Center in Lubbock.
"Thresholds are not set in stone, and this year those numbers represent a gray area,"
Leser says, "Currently, treatment triggers are set at 10,000 bollworms per acre. But with numbers at 10,200, the damage is not significantly different than at 8,000. We recommend that farmers not worry about infestations right around thresholds this year. Losses are not high enough to justify treatments."
One exception is caterpillar populations that hang around the threshold for weeks. "Still, we recommend growers be conservative with treatments."
Leser says farmers should watch high populations closely. "Often, we can find levels at threshold, but if we wait three days, populations are below the trigger point again."
He says he would be reluctant to spray until populations reach 15,000 per acre throughout most of the season. "Economize but watch the cotton closely," he says. "At 12,000 per acre, we lose only about $8 per acre."
He says growers may want to wait until caterpillars reach at least one-fourth inch in length before spraying. "Allow natural enemies time to control them," he says. "With good beneficial activity, populations may drop blow threshold level in three or four days. Weather also may take the pests out."
Leser says observers are concerned with early beet armyworm infestations. "Some growers may have been justified in spraying early, if they had stands threatened and terminals were being damaged. But it is easy to spray twice before cotton begins blooming, and we can waste a lot of money treating too early."
He says beet armyworm numbers have been extremely high early in the season in west Texas. "We picked them up in corn unusually early, and we've had reports of all kinds of armyworms, not just beets."
He says seedling cotton does not provide an ideal host for beets but that cool weather may have reduced stress and allowed a good number to survive.
"Down the road, we're not certain what this early infestation will mean. Often we see high numbers early and then they fizzle. It's hard to predict."
Again, he emphasizes watching the crop carefully and waiting until populations are above threshold levels before taking any action.
"Populations are unstable and changing," he says. "Farmers or scouts may find high levels of beets, budworms or bollworms in only 15 percent of the field. We can't justify treating that. Often growers make emotional treatment decisions based on a small field sample.
"It's critical that growers keep track of the numbers. but it's also imperative that they don't concentrate just on the hotspots. That skews the results and may indicate that conditions are worse than they are."
Leser suggests farmers or their scouts walk 50 paces without paying much attention to the plant conditions and selecting a plant at random to sample.
He hopes farmers have adequate beet armyworm control materials if conditions warrant treatments. He expects Denim Tracer and Steward to be available.
He says coverage with these new materials is critical. "With ground application, apply 10 gallons of material per acre. By air, if you don't use five gallons, you're wasting your time."
He also recommends nozzles in ground rigs be lowered to get into the plants. "We see a lot of difference in control with over-the-top spray versus dropped nozzles."
He says Tracer also works well but "performance drops if coverage is not adequate."
He says cotton farmers should not use pyrethroids to control beet armyworms. "These materials do not provide adequate control," he says. "And mixing pyrethroids with other materials is not necessary. Use the newer materials. Unfortunately, we do not have any cheap beet armyworm materials."
Leser says Intrepid is not recommended for bollworm control "at the rates we use. We don't recommend it for mixed worm populations."
It's a good beet armyworm material, however. "Intrepid is one of the least expensive beet armyworm materials we have, but growers should be aware of rotation restrictions. Current registration package allows for no rotation following use. That's a situation that probably will be cleared up, but restrictions now are rigid. However, I would not let that stop me from using Intrepid."
Leser says low boll weevil numbers this year will mean lower treatment triggers for the Boll Weevil Foundation in active eradication zones. "But they will treat only 10 percent to 15 percent of an area with beet armyworm infestations. I was pleased with the success they had with that approach last year."
Leser says bollworm numbers should be down this year. "I don't think they will be a major factor. Corn acreage is down significantly. I don't have a good feeling for loopers. They usually come in with beet armyworms. As with beets, I've seen high populations early fizzle out."
Leser says farmers should try to avoid large losses this year and put up with some minor damage. He says being conservative with insect control will be especially important for dryland cotton.
"And, if growers do not have a consultant, they should check fields regularly for pests and other growth problems. Plant mapping offers an ideal opportunity to see what's in the field. It's one of the best things a grower can do.
"It doesn't cost a farmer anything to get in the field and look. And it may help him avoid some unpleasant surprises that costs a lot of money to correct."

well as long as Chrome OS fully supports the hardware its being shipped on its overall level of support should be less of an issue. Most consumers would only get Chrome OS from buying it somewhere and would get working support and most geeks would understand "we only made sure it worked on this set of hardware use elseware at your own risk" Lack of support for printers, scanners, cameras and such could be more of a problem though.
I'm pretty interested to see what Chrome OS dropped from the standard linux bundle. Obviously it has to have the kernal but beyond that its anyones guess. Personally I'm not expecting to like it and I think some people are getting their hopes way to high. Google did not set out to make a desktop Os here, it will probably be much more limited than that, much simpler and more clean perhaps, but certainly more limited. I don't expect to be warmly welcomed among the linux crowd. Expect a lot of "Chrome OS doesn't run foo, its useless crap" style blog posts when it does come out. Of course Google doesn't really care what the linux crowd says about it since its not aimed at the linux crowd and thats perfectly fine in my book.
I'm expecting it to have lots of standard stuff. At least everything needed to be build & run Chrome, which means Gtk+ and X, to be exact.
Another guess is that it will have lots of stuff done in Javascript, to sandbox as much as possible. Much of the local file system stuff can be done through javascript and google gears anyway.
I don't believe they will be leveraging this too much yet:
It'll probably also incorporate Dalvik VM and run Android apps.

Students delve into scenarios to ask 'what is ethical?'
James Madison University students numbering 115 and a few faculty members considered seven complex scenarios during an ethical reasoning workshop hosted by the university's Virginia Gamma chapter of Phi Sigma Tau, the International Honor Society in Philosophy on March 16.
The Madison Collaborative: Ethical Reasoning in Action, JMU's Quality Enhancement Plan, was the basis of the workshop held in the Allegheny Room of the Festival Conference and Student Center.
Development of the QEP, which began in 2010, is required of JMU for its reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools – Commission On Colleges.
Dr. Michael Davis, assistant professor of communication studies and advisor to the JMU Debate Team, outlined the Eight Key Questions that guide The Madison Collaborative before the assembly convened in 14 smaller groups. Members of the debate team joined in groups to offer oral argumentation advice.
Outcomes – What are the short-term and long-term outcomes of possible actions?
Fairness – How can I act equitably and balance all interests?
Authority – What do legitimate authorities (e.g., experts, law, my god[s]) expect of me?
Liberty – What principles of freedom and personal autonomy apply?
Rights – What rights (e.g., innate, legal, social) apply?
Responsibilities – What duties and obligations apply?
Empathy – How would I respond if I cared deeply about those involved?
Character – What actions will help me become my ideal self?
"The questions help you determine for yourself what is ethical," Davis said as he set the stage for the groups to consider the scenarios. "There's not one answer that tells us how to act ethically," he cautioned.
The scenarios were:
- Joe knows that in this economy, finding a job can be tough. He wasn't having any luck finding work since employers thought his Ph.D. over qualified him. So, he started applying for jobs without listing his doctorate degree. He now has a fantastic job offer from a Fortune 500 company. If Joe takes the job, he would start on an excellent career path and he could start repaying his student loans. However, he would also be starting his work relationship on a lie that could hurt him down the road. Should Joe take the job?
- An organization provides annual grant money to charity project proposals. This year, two excellent projects are competing. One and only one of these projects must be chosen. The first proposal, from the World Peace Project, has the potential to moderately assist millions of people. Yet, this project also sets the stage for future improvement. The second proposal, from the Better Earth Initiative will drastically improve the quality of life of thousands immediately. Which project should the organization choose?
- The year is 2075 and artificial intelligence (robots) now has fully developed autonomy, including full-scale emotional capacity. The number of sentient artificial beings now rivals the human population. Some believe these artificial beings deserve the same rights extended to humans. Others contend that there is no way to know whether artificial intelligence can be hacked or easily coerced. Should beings of artificial humans receive the same rights as biological humans?
- A local group wants to hold a protest rally through a quiet, religious development. The group received permission from the local government. However, the residents have repeatedly asked the group not to protest through their neighborhood and deem the protest "hate speech." Should the group be allowed to protest?
- A professor at a major university is grading final term in-class essays. He has graded all of the papers except one from his best student. However, his dog at the entire essay! His best student has over a 100 percent grade in the class, and it is impossible for her to get any less than an A+ in the course. The professor is considering entering an arbitrary grade for the assignment since grades are due in 15 minutes. Is it okay if the professor enters a final grade for the student? Or, should the professor make the student re-take the exam?
- Panem just broke out in civil war. Over 1.5 million refugees have flocked to a neighboring country, Genovia. Until the war is over, the refugees are considered enemies of Panem. Genovia has a longstanding treaty with Panem to not aid its enemies. However, if Genovia refuses to take in and provide aid for the refugees, they will almost assuredly develop illnesses and starve. Should Genovia assist the refugees of Panem?
- A low-income community recently found 200 kittens in an abandoned warehouse. There is no animal shelter in the community. Unless all residents donate $100 each, the kittens will have to be put down. Many residents in the neighborhood make much less than $100 a day. Should the residents provide the money needed to save the kittens?
Workshop participant Sidney Lawrence, a junior majoring in cultural anthropology, said of her experience, "It was interesting to see other peoples' points of view because what I find morally sound might not be exactly what another person thinks. Hearing different and opposing opinions definitely makes me think."
"This program showed me that it (The Madison Collaborative: Ethical Reasoning in Action) can be successful," said Kevin McCall, a junior majoring in biology. "When I first heard about the QEP, I was a little doubtful that people would be interested. But based on the discussion, everyone talked and what they said was well thought out and showed that they were engaged with the questions. It makes me optimistic that the QEP is something that can be successful."
The ethical reasoning workshop is part of the semester-long program, "Rhetoric and Reasoning in the Liberal Arts," which is supported by a $5,000 grant from the Student Government Association. The program is also supported by the College of Arts and Letters, Department of Philosophy and Religion and Logic and Reasoning Institute.

Managed in cooperation withFlorida Forest ServiceSt. Johns River Water Management District
St. Johns RiverWater Management District
Ralph E. Simmons Memorial WMA consists of more than 3,000 acres along nearly 7 miles of the St. Marys River in northern Nassau County. On the area are excellent examples of a number of natural communities, including longleaf pine/wiregrass, seepage slopes, herb bogs and ravine forests. These communities contain a variety of rare plants, including orchids and pitcher plants, and are home to white-tailed deer, wild turkey, bobcat, gopher tortoise, and otter. The Ralph Simmons State Forest is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail.
The river provides excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, and canoeing as well as bird watching. Hiking, horseback riding and off-road bicycling are available on established trails and roads. Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands. For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law . All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands.
The area has produced some high quality deer at times and squirrel hunting along the river bottom swamps can be good in the fall. During hunting periods, public access is restricted to those individuals with valid quota hunt permits, except during the mobility-impaired general gun hunt when two non-disabled helpers may accompany a mobility-impaired quota permit holder. During periods open to hunting, hunters in possession of a quota permit may camp in designated campgrounds. During periods closed to hunting, camping in the designated group campground is allowed by permit from the Florida Forest Service, (904) 845-3597.
Camping for non-hunters at primitive campsites along the St. Marys River is allowed throughout the year on a first-come, first-serve basis. A boat ramp is located on Scotts Landing Road.
Information kiosks are located on Lake Hampton Road and Penny Haddock Road.

Malaysia Airports Promotes Safety at Workplace
18 November 2009
Bayan Lepas, 18 November 2009 - To promote a safe working area and further stimulate safety-conscious workers, Malaysia Airports organised a joint safety
campaign at Penang International Airport today.
Malaysia Airports, in collaboration with the Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia (DCA), Airlines Operators Committee representing airlines operating at Penang International Airport, KL Airport Services (KLAS), LSG Skychef and government agencies, organised this joint apron safety campaign to educate all the apron users on the importance of safety while carrying out their duties and responsibilities at the aircraft parking apron area.
During this campaign, the apron users are exposed to the proper handling and management of all the equipment used at the parking apron area so as to safeguard the safety of the aircraft, crew and other workers, hence minimising the occurrences of accidents.
Abdul Wahab Mohd Yusof, Senior Manager of Penang International Airport, said: "An airport's achievement is not only measured from the number of passengers, aircraft and cargo handled every year but safety aspects in the operation of the airports are also very important and must be in compliance to the regulations set by regulatory-bodies such as International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and DCA."
He added: "We would like to stress not only on a physically safe-conscious way of doing work and performing tasks, but also to encourage staff to always think and put safety as the priority at all times".
Malaysia Airports is confident that this campaign will further stimulate the airport communities to reduce the number of incidents at the workplace and increase awareness on the importance of working safely, especially at high risk areas such as the parking apron and on the airside.
Penang International Airport recently received the Safety Management System (SMS) certificate from DCA, indicating its conformance to all safety requirements and achieving continuous improvement in safety performance. These include the essential features of safety such as policy, strategy and planning and implementation as well as promotion, records, staff training and competency.
The airport became one of Malaysia's five international airports to receive this certification in this region. Abdul Wahab said: "The SMS certification is a testimony of our commitment to ensure the highest level of safety at our airports and to fully comply with the ICAO Safety Management Program."
Abdul Wahab also said: "Penang International Airport was nominated as The Best Airport of The Year 2009 for the category of 15 million passengers annually in the Frost & Sullivan-Asia Pacific Aerospace & Defence Award and also the Best Emerging Airport-Asia 2009 (For Cargo Less Than 500,000 Tonnes Per Year) in the Asian Freight & Supply Chain Award (AFSCA) 2009. Therefore, customers do have high expectations on the airport, and the airport has to continuously improve its service, facilities and on safety aspects."
The Occupational Safety & Health (OSHA) Act of 1994 provides the legislative framework to promote, stimulate and encourage high standards of safety and health at work. The long-term goal of the act is to create a healthy and safe working culture among all the employees and employers and Malaysia Airports advocates this act strictly as a working culture. OSHA 94 is under Department of OSHA, Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia.

Judge James Block Zagel
September 2012: Average Prison Sentence
District Court - Illinois North
Referring Agency: Federal Bureau of Investigation
Lead Charge: 18 USC 2113 - Bank robbery and incidental crimes
For all cases disposed of in the current fiscal year (2012) that were credited to Judge James Block Zagel in the Northern District of Illinois, the average prison sentence was 130.0 months, when looking only at cases referred by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with a lead charge of "18 USC 2113 - Bank robbery and incidental crimes". During the current fiscal year, Judge James Block Zagel has sentenced 3 defendants compared with one defendant during the twelve months of the previous fiscal year.
Over the last five years, the average prison sentence imposed on defendants that were credited to Judge Zagel was 92.7 months. This was 0.4% lower than the 93.1 months typical in Illinois North and 15.6% lower than the 109.9 months average prison sentence for the nation. Judge James Block Zagel sentenced 11 defendants during the past five years.
(CAUTION: The kinds of cases handled by individual judges influences statistical information about their sentences. It therefore is important to consider the breakdown of cases that each has handled, available below, when making judge-by-judge comparisons.)
Figure 1 compares Judge Zagel's numbers to those for judges in this district and in the United States as a whole for cases of this type over the last five years.
During the last five years there were 26 other judges in the Northern District of Illinois with information on convictions during that period. Average prison sentence numbers passed down for those judges ranged from 45.5 months to 179.0 months, putting Judge Zagel's average prison sentence of 92.7 months at the higher end of the range. The average prison sentence for the whole Northern District of Illinois during that time was 93.1 months.

Blackburn Rovers have once again left Premier League rivals trailing in their wake in terms of offering their fans value for money - with the Ewood faithful able to watch football next season for less than £12 per game.
Rovers will today announce their decision to freeze Early Bird season ticket prices for 2012-13, as owners Venky's continue efforts to ensure Ewood Park is one of the cheapest places in the country to watch league football.
- Download the stadium plan here: STADIUM PLAN A5 - 2012.pdf
With an adult seat available again for £225 in the Ronnie Clayton Blackburn End and Riverside stands, Rovers' prices are expected to again beat all other Premier League clubs, as well as offering a cheaper standard season ticket than the majority of Football League clubs.
League Two Swindon Town's cheapest season ticket price for next season is £320, Walsall supporters would have to fork out £290, while Norwich City fans will have to pay £509 to watch their heroes next campaign.
Most clubs still have to unveil their pricing policy for next season but it is unlikely anywhere in the country will match the value for money on offer at Ewood Park.
Season tickets went on sale today and existing season ticket holders and new applicants have until April 30 to buy at the Early Bird rate.
Under 16s cheapest tickets are priced at £85, which works out at less than £4.50 per game.
The club will also continue to offer the 16-game season ticket in the WEC Darwen End for £165, with fans opting for all 19 games in that stand able to relocate for the three extra matches.
Deputy chief executive Paul Hunt, said: "We fully acknowledge that these are tough financial times and our aim is to make supporting Rovers as affordable as we possibly can.
"Our owners are totally committed to this policy and we are delighted to be able to keep Early Bird season ticket prices for 2012-13 at this season's level.
"It has been a challenging season, on and off the field, but we believe that freezing prices not only rewards loyal support but will also help encourage many more people to sign up.
"No-one can argue that the season ticket package is anything other than tremendous value but, to get it to work - emotionally and financially - we now need the people of the area to get right behind us and swell our numbers."
Blackburn Rovers fan Mark Reynolds, 25, from Oswaldtwistle, has hailed the club's efforts to keep prices affordable for supporters.
He said: "It is a great effort from all concerned. We know there are issues around the owners but they can't be criticised for this.
"It will be interesting to see whether there is a big take up on this but I hope it does help in bringing fans back to Ewood Park."
Former Rovers striker Simon Garner, said: "It is very good and hopefully it will encourage a few more people to come back to the club.
"Football is too dear these days and other clubs should look at what Rovers have done and follow suit. Results are the big driving factor but prices like this can only help."
Season tickets can be purchased at any of the following outlets: Roverstore Ewood, Oneroverstore Blackburn town centre, via www.onerovers.co.uk, by post, by phone on 08712221444.
Payments can be spread over 10 months with Season Ticket Finance and you can pick up an application form from Roverstore/Oneroverstore.

|1 comments
Rachel Castellano wrote the piece below about her experiences with One Voice for Laos and her reasons for being involved with One Voice for Laos. Rachel, the author of this heart-warming piece, is pictured here with Wanalee, an orphan from Laos......
I joined One Voice for Laos with the intention of doing what I could to help
children across the world. I had no idea I would actually travel there, and experience
something that would truly change my life.
What started out as a fun project with
my friends, turned into a huge part of my life that I'm incredibly passionate about.
It's hard to contemplate the amount of things I've learned from the
experiences I've had with One Voice for Laos. Not only was I able to travel to Asia
and immerse myself in an unfamiliar culture while making long-lasting connections
with the most amazing children I've ever met, I gained confidence and experience in
organizing and carrying out fundraisers back at home.
The other teenagers who I traveled with would agree that it was just as eye
opening to see the differences between the kids at the Deak Kum Pa orphanage and
us, as it was to see the similarities. They loved sports and hanging out with their
friends. I had conversations with them that could have easily been with an American
teenager. The part of them I will remember forever was how happy they were. They
smiled and laughed the same amount, if not more than American kids who have
their own room, good food, clean clothes, and the latest electronics.
I'm proud to say that I helped raise money for these children who I would say
I look up. By our fundraising efforts, they were able to obtain healthier and more
nutritious food. This project showed me that a small group of concerned citizens is
enough to make a difference. This gave me hope that although there is a lot of evil
and unfairness in the world, there are a lot of wonderful, capable people out there to
fix it. They just have to find the desire and will power to do so.
One Voice for Laos has impact. Like a stone thrown into a pond, the rippling effects move out in all directions. By bringing teenagers out of their comfort zone, One Voice For Laos kindles potential within teenagers that would otherwise be lost to society's effort to convince everyone that it's good to blend in.
While teenagers are being empowered, children over 10,000 miles away reap the rewards of additional resources provided by the teenagers of One Voice For Laos. In Laos I recognized that the influence our fundraising had much more value than the dollars themselves. A smile from a healthy child is worth million bucks.
Just as the growing bodies of the orphans are being nourished, the entire community of One Voice For Laos is cultivated through compassion and humanitarianism. A generation of Orphans is given opportunities otherwise unattainable and a small yet envigorated community in the rural catskill mountains recognizes that it is part of a global economy of fellowship.
I'm in college now and I'm still perplexed by the influence One Voice For Laos has had on me. The hope and direction instilled in me while being apart of such a generous project carries me through even the toughest moments. Anyone who looks at the cover of a newspaper these days knows that its not an easy planet to exist on. The commensalistic relationships we have often taken for granted seem to be dissolving into chaos. Any youth in America knows that he or she will have a harder time living the same lifestyle as his or her parents due to the increasing pressures on decreasing resources.
One Voice For Laos has given me conviction that each and every human being is capable of leading in positive ways. I also know that no matter what my future has in store for me, there is a community of people I can rely on to help pick me up when I fall and pat me on my back when I succeed. In One Voice For Laos I have confidence, for confidence is what One Voice For Laos has given me.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 29, 2010 - Despite how boating is portrayed in Hollywood movies, most boaters are not rich. Statistics show they are more likely to own a small trailerable boat than a mega-yacht, and prefer T-shirts and shorts over blue blazers. They also watch how they spend, and to help boating families stretch their dollars, BoatUS has five ways to save on boating expenses this summer:
Borrow a kid's life jacket for free: If you're expecting young guests aboard and have a temporary need for a right-sized life jacket, don't buy one. The BoatUS Foundation has over 500 Kids Life Jacket Loaner Program locations across the country -- at marinas, clubs, and fire houses -- where you can borrow one for free for the day, afternoon or weekend. You do not have to be a BoatUS member to use this program.
Take a boater safety course free of charge: Boating safety courses can set you back almost $45 if taken online, or as much as $100 for a classroom-based course. Or, you can take the BoatUS Foundation's free Online Boating Safety Course which is recognized as boater certification in 32 states. BoatUS membership is not required.
Join BoatUS and save at marinas on fuel, overnight slips and repairs: Save money on fuel by getting up to 10 cents per-gallon off at select BoatUS Cooperating Marinas . Other discounts may include up to 25% on transient slips and 15% on repairs.
Get discounts on bait, tackle and guides: BoatUS members can also get discounts of up 20% at bait and tackle shops as well as up to 30% off fishing guide services. Go to BoatUS Angler to check them out.
Try adjusting your boat insurance: Increasing your deductibles will save you some dollars. If you have had your boat for a period of time, consider reviewing the total value of your policy with your agent; even consider purchasing a liability-only insurance policy thus saving premium dollars. You can also investigate some lower-cost options with BoatUS Marine Insurance.
More information on these programs can be found at www.BoatUS.com and http://www.boatusangler.com/.

Golson: Notre Dame rallying around loss of players
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Quarterback Everett Golson said the adversity of abruptly losing four teammates while Notre Dame investigates whether they were involved in academic dishonesty is bringing the Fighting Irish together.
"I guess I can go back to my instance, where you really see who your true friends are," said Golson, who was suspended from school last fall for academic impropriety. "You see your true brotherhood through adversity. I think we've definitely come together.
"I think we've done a great job of dealing with adversity and know everybody on the outside is going to talk. But we can only control what we can control and that's the mindset of our team. I think we've done a great job with that," he said.
Linebacker Jaylon Smith echoed that sentiments.
"We're a family here. We've just got to bond together," he said.
Most of the other members of the 17th-ranked Fighting Irish who spoke during Tuesday's media day wouldn't comment about how the team was reacting to the losses of starting cornerback KeiVarae Russell, leading returning receiver DaVaris Daniels, defensive end Ishaq Williams and backup linebacker Kendall Moore. School officials have said they don't know how long the investigation will take.
Golson wouldn't talk specifically about the four players involved, saying he didn't know enough about what occurred, but he talked about what he went through when he was suspended and how embarrassing it was.
"It hurt. I felt I had to feel the full brunt of that to self-evaluate myself and correct my mistakes. Be a better person. Be a better leader," he said.
Golson said he appreciates more what it means to play football at Notre Dame the second time around.
"I've been hit with it, so you have a better appreciation of the university," he said.
Golson and other Irish players said they know the classes at Notre Dame are harder than at most other schools. Golson said that's one of the reasons he wanted to return.
"Being a student-athlete here is definitely not easy," he said. "But it's manageable and possible to be done. It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I think you'll grow through it."
Defensive back Matthias Farley said Irish players know the academic challenges when they commit to Notre Dame, saying each player meets with the admission director and academics is stressed. He said at other schools "people just talk about football, football, football." Farley said it was different at Notre Dame.
"They really took a real interest in you, how you performed in the classroom, not just your senior or junior year. But things you could improve on, things they would like to see you improve on, if you're lacking in an area," he said. "So they really take a look at you as a student, not just as a student-athlete."
Golson said neither his teammates nor his classmates have ever asked him about what he did that led to his suspension.
"I think it says something about this university and the people of this university. I think they forgive a little bit. It's definitely a forgiving spirit. They understand, 'I'm not going to ridicule you because you messed up in the past.' It's more the type of thing, 'OK, you're back now. We forgive you."
NOTES: Offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock disclosed Tuesday the reason he missed some practices earlier this month was because he underwent surgery for prostate cancer. He said all the reports he's received have been positive. He said he couldn't comment on how much he's been working "because my wife and my doctor will probably hunt me down." ... Defensive backs graduate assistant Kyle McMcCarthy, who has undergone four chemotherapy treatments for an undisclosed cancer, was at practice Tuesday. Kelly announced last week that McCarthy will take intermittent leaves of absence while undergoing treatment.

Medeiros is one of three finalists for the position.
LAKEVILLE — The superintendent search committee recently named three finalists for its top education post, including Somerset Superintendent Richard Medeiros.
The other two finalists are also local to the SouthCoast — Wareham's director of curriculum and development, Janice Rotella, and Old Rochester Regional District Assistant Superintendent Elise Frangos.
"It's an exciting opportunity," Medeiros said Monday. "I look forward to the opportunity of being superintendent of schools in Freetown and Lakeville."
The Somerset School Committee recently voted unanimously not to enter negotiations to extend the contract of Medeiros, a principal and superintendent in Somerset for nearly 20 years, according to Herald News reports.
That Somerset committee is in the process of considering restructuring the job as a combination with other administrative duties, such as a business manager to save funds.
The Somerset Berkley Regional School Committee last year offered Medeiros only a one-year contract extension as superintendent of the new district. He declined it, seeking two years.
Berkley's superintendent, Thomas Lynch, was then named interim regional superintendent July 1, and the Somerset district since that time has been paying Medeiros' entire salary of about $131,000.
Medeiros, 49, of Rehoboth, said he's been seeking long-term security to continue in a superintendent's role, as he has for the past nine years in Somerset.
Freetown-Lakeville School Committee Chairman Robert Nogueira said the goal has been to name a new superintendent by March, with the search committee naming finalists this month and conducting site visits in early March. The School Committee will interview the finalists in public sessions, with Medeiros being interviewed Feb. 26, Rotella being interviewed on Feb. 28, and Frangos being interviewed March 4. They will tour the district and meet with staff, school officials said.
The job has a starting date of July 1, according to the superintendent's office. The salary is negotiable.
Last year around this time, a yearlong search failed to produce a more permanent superintendent for the kindergarten to Grade 12 district in Freetown and Lakeville.
The search surprisingly stalled once four finalists were named and an email was leaked indicating that some of the committee members had ranked the finalists. In response, two finalists dropped out of the race.
Believing that the process had been tainted, the committee scrapped the search and decided to start anew this past fall 2013.
Retired administrator Kristine Nash is serving as the interim superintendent for this year. Last year, former assistant superintendent Jessica Huizenga served as the interim superintendent for the district.
These searches commenced when former Superintendent John McCarthy in the summer of 2012 stepped away from the district and took a superintendent post in Scituate.
Medeiros said he had informed Somerset School Committee member Robert Camara of his finalist standing.
He expects to complete his work with the Somerset K-8 district with his contract expiring June 30.
