Opening Day At Worlds Puts Alessandro Rombelli's 'STIG' in Charge
27 August 2014
Riva Del Garda, Italy - After Garda's past rainy days and a short morning postponement ashore, the 57-strong Audi Melges 20 World Championship fleet welcomed plentiful sunshine and a nice 8-10 knots of breeze to the Lake Garda racing arena. Three races are now complete in the 10-part racing series with former Gold Cup Champion and Audi Sailing Series Champion Alessandro Rombelli aboard STIG ahead by 7 points.
In second and third overall are the Kilroy's from California, USA. John Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti finished deep in Race One, but had nice fourth place finishes in Races Two and Three to currently sit in second place. Eleven year-old Liam Kilroy on Wildman was by far the story of the day. Fresh off the starting line, he came on strong early to score a 3-2 in the first two races. Despite a deep 20th place finish in Race Three, Liam's initial great performances helped him preserve his top three position.
The breeze shifted all day starting at 170 for Race One to 190 by days end. Yuriy Morozov aboard Russotrans progressively chased Liam Kilroy around the track in the first race, as did Oleg Evdokimenko on Kotyara. It was on the last run with the best pressure out on the right, Morozov took advantage of clear air getting ahead and the win. Evdokimenko followed suit to overtake for second. Kilroy, who steered a little better than center of the course came third.
The youthful Kilroy kept up the pace to take the top mark in Race Two, this time with Rombelli on his heels. Claudio Dutto's Asante Sana and Achille Onorato's Mascalzone Latino Jr. followed closely. Liam held his position through the gate, with Rombelli challenging for the lead. Rombelli was fast upwind eventually taking command and claiming the win at the line. Liam remained in second. Evdokimenko, again came from behind on the last run out on the right side to finish third.
The final race of the day welcomed Aloha, the one and only entry from the Czech Republic helmed by Jan Kuchar around the top in first, Dario Levi's Fremito D'Arja in second, and Roberto Martinez on Audi e-Tron in third. As the race unfolded, Martinez shifted his Audi Melges 20 into high gear on the first run to take the lead by a couple of boat lengths ahead of Mirko De Falco's Peccere, now in second and Rombelli in third — all three headed for shoreline speed on the left, then right again as the breeze continued to move. Martinez rounded the final top mark of the race in first, followed by Rombelli and Onorato. The breeze got even lighter for the finish, around 6 knots with Martinez taking the win, Rombelli was second and Onorato took third.
Tomorrow, Championship racing continues with an earlier than previously scheduled 09.00 warning to take advantage of some variations on the breeze.
As with other Audi Melges 20 events around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Audi Melges 20 Facebook Page. Be sure to also follow the fleet on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews, and photos. Race reports, press releases and photos will be available online each day post racing at melges20.com.

On January 12th, 2010 a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti. The earthquake leveled much of Port – Au – Prince and reversed much of the positive gains made in the past few years.
Over 70,000 deaths have been confirmed and some estimates put that number as high as 200,000.
Over 3,000,000 people have been left homeless.
The international response to the people of Haiti has been incredible.
Out of this tragedy comes an enormous opportunity to redress the historical iniquity that has burdened the Haitian since their inspired slave revolt that expelled the French colonial government and set in motion the freeing from colonial power much of Latin America.
As a result of the revolt the Haitian people were saddled with an enormous and onerous debt to be paid to the French government in the amount of 150,000,000 French francs. Or in current dollars $21,000,000,000.
Under the brutal and ruthless dictatorship of the Duvalier family, lasting some thirty years, Haiti's debt increased some 45%.
The Opportunity
- 47% of Haiti's population lives in urban settings
- 75% live in abject poverty
- 56% live below the extreme poverty level of $1USD/day
- Median age is 20.2 and is approximately 50/50 male/female
- Only 21% get a secondary education
- 1% university
- UN estimates show that it is the 4th most undernourished country on the planet (June to August are known as 'the hungry months')
Cancel Haiti's Debt:
This frees the Haitians from servitude to the international community.
Stop International 'Lending' and instead provide grants.
Doing these two things are the most significant things that can be done for the Haitian people. While it is true that the Paris Club and other lenders have eliminated much of Haiti's debt there is still much more to go.
As we move forward, it is essential, that the Haitian people, in conjunction with the United Nations and countries that are willing, define and design a realistic plan to rebuild the infrastructure that we all take for granted.
Haiti, the United Nations and French speaking countries should develop a series of steering committees and working groups with technical expertise that address the following issues:
1) Infrastructure: Roads, Sewage, Electricity, Telecommunications, Hospitals, Education, Agriculture, etc.
2) Housing: Develop a housing plan that allows Haitians to live safely; standardize codes for building, introduce modern methods for design and build including green technologies
3) MDG's: Find innovative and creative ways to address the MDG's in Haiti especially as relates to nutrition, education and infant mortality
These three areas are vast in scope and in meaning to the Haitian people themselves. By addressing these not only will the international community best serve the Haitian people by modernizing the country we will also be providing knowledge, expertise and most importantly lasting JOBS and opportunity – thus HOPE – for the Haitian people.
In the National Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy paper (G-PRSP) of March 2008 a plan was put together to aid Haiti. At that time it was estimated that $3,864,000,000 was what was needed to implement the first 3 year phase of the plan.
There is no quick fix in Haiti. Our efforts must be measured, practical and support the overall goal of modernizing a country that has long been ravaged by environmental, social and political strife. However, we, as the international community have an opportunity to redress the past and help modernize Haiti in a meaningful way.

When we left for Leigh Creek the sky was blue, a few clouds in the back. This is one of the flying Doctor's planes at the Bourke airport.
And the soup got thicker and thicker and the sky was hiding. Wind and rain buffeted the plane. It was lifted up and plunged fiercely. One feels very vulnerable to be up there separated only by the thin wall of the plane and all around a wild, opaque sky. After more then an hour we received the message that we could not land in Leigh Creek the wind was to strong. We turned back and arrived safely ....
back at the airport. The sky had taken on this strangely coloured opaque hue and the wind was also very strong.
The next morning everything was covered in a fine red dust. The sky was blue again with a few clouds hovering around. We still could not fly out as the winds were very strong and the weather unpredictable. We played it safe and stayed one more day in Bourke!

Home Theater Plus
|Taking the Big View The ceiling-mounted Yamaha DPX-1300 DLP projector (foreground) beams its image onto a custom-made 140-inch diagonal Stewart FireHawk screen.
A lot of us dream of having a room of our own, separate from all the activities of daily life, that can be transformed into a home theater where we can enjoy watching our favorite movies. But a dedicated home theater can have its drawbacks - especially when the rest of the family feels like the room is off-limits and you find yourself doing most of your movie-watching alone. Also, having to go down to the basement or to some far-flung area of the house every time you want to check out a flick can take the spontaneity out of the experience, turning an enjoyable activity into a bit of a chore.
Some enthusiasts are rethinking the whole idea of a dedicated room, instead creating spaces that, while optimized for watching HDTV and DVDs, are still inviting to other members of the family. That was the case with a Palisades, New York homeowner, who recently built an addition to his house that features a roomy, comfortable theater with a front projector and large screen, a fully functional bar area, and an area for playing poker, complete with its own 42-inch plasma TV. "I've been to other people's home theaters and it seems like they're underused," says the homeowner. "If you're not watching a movie, no one uses the room. I wanted a theater where I could have friends over and play cards, have cocktails, or watch TV."
Installer Barry Weiner, owner of Hudson Valley Home Media, the Sparkill, New York-based company that performed the installation, elaborates. "You can have the front lights down, the drapes closed, play poker in the back, and have both the plasma and the projector on. Or the room can be completely darkened and used as a home theater. It's a multipurpose space."
Since the room is used mainly for watching TV and movies, the video display was the most critical decision. When the installation was done, the largest available plasma TV had a 65-inch screen, which wasn't big enough to give the homeowner the movie-house effect he was looking for. "If you go bigger than the largest plasma, you want a front projector," says Weiner, "because then the size of the screen isn't dictated by how much money you spend, but by how far the projector is from the screen."

Man arrested for murder of stepfather in Orange
Police arrested one man in Orange on Thursday night, July 18, who witnesses say murdered his stepfather.
According to a news release from the Orange Police Department, on July 18 at 10:30 p.m., officers from the Orange Police Department were called to disturbance at 570 Lilac in Orange. Upon arrival, officers found 38-year-old John W. Lee Jr. unconscious in the yard. Lee had injuries to the head and face. Witnesses at the scene advised that Lee had been assaulted by his adult stepson, Robert Wyatt Walter, 21, who fled the scene prior to officers' arrival. Several persons were at the residence celebrating Lee's birthday. Although Lee and his wife had a trespass warning against Walter, they allowed him to attend the birthday party, OPD Captain Cliff Hargrave said.
Officer Howard Devault responded to the incident and reported that upon his arrival at the scene, he observed a woman holding the head of the victim, John Lee, who "lay supine, not moving and not breathing." The victim was on the ground beside the driver's side front tire of a 2013 silver Hyundai Elantra. Officer Devault stated in his report that there was blood spatter along the driver's side of the vehicle from the trunk to the fender. He also observed blood in the grass where the victim was laying unconscious. The victim was reportedly bleeding from his nose, eyes and ears, and the left side of the man's face appeared swollen.
Acadian Ambulance and the Orange Fire Department arrived, and OFD personnel initiated CPR on Lee. He was then loaded into an ambulance and transported to the emergency room of Memorial Hermann Baptist Hospital-Orange. He was pronounced dead at the emergency room.
Witnesses at the scene of the crime reported Walter fled the scene in a white car. It was reported to OPD that he had been seen at a residence in the 700 block of Gunstream Lane knocking on the front door and covered in blood. Officer Devault immediately drove to the location where the suspect had been spotted. As he arrived, he reported seeing a white male matching the description of Walter exiting a white vehicle. He pointed his police taser at the man and ordered him onto the ground. Devault reported the man verbally identified himself as Robert Walter, the known suspect.
Devault detained Walter and photographed the suspect, noting in his report the man had blood on his hands, black shorts and his stomach area. Walter agreed to speak with a detective, according to Devault. During an interview with police, Walter reportedly confessed to striking Lee during an altercation at 570 Lilac in Orange.
According to Captain Hargrave and witnesses who were at the scene, Walter pummeled Lee to death with his fists. Hargrave said he believed alcohol was a factor in the altercation and confirmed Walter had run-ins with OPD in the past. Walter was serving five years probation for a state jail felony criminal mischief charge at the time of his arrest.
Hargrave pointed out that although Walter fled the scene, he was in custody of OPD officers approximately 28 minutes after the incident was reported.
"The patrol officers did an excellent job in finding and apprehending the suspect (Walter)," Hargrave said. "He was actually in custody before Mr. Lee was pronounced deceased."
Walter was booked for Murder, and is currently in the Orange County Correctional Facility. He was arraigned and bond set at $250,000.

|Line 1:
|====== Miscellaneous Tips ======
|Integers are defined using the following formats. #19d is 19 decimal. #19Dh is 19D hex. #19:16d is 19 decimal 16 bits. #19D:16h is 19D hex 16 bits. #19:-16d is signed. Note the use of upper and lower case. More info [[https://carlos-icg.blogspot.pe/2017/09/entero-tipo-hp-prime.html|here]].
|LOCAL A; inside a program file, but outside a function definition, is a global variable that only functions defined inside the same program file can access. Thus, LOCAL A; will not compile as long as the variable A exsits globally (e.g. System variable A is a predefined global). i.e. LOCAL A; outside a function does not do any variable overloading.
|Variable names can use all kinds of weird identifiers defined in unicode. To determine what identifiers (non-alphanumeric type characters), a little C function to do that is identified [[http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-9495-post-83371.html#pid83371|here]].
|Note that there is a shortcut to STRING(V) by just doing T:=""+V; However, STRING(V) is faster and uses less RAM.
|When a variable is passed into a function, it's passed by value, so any changes to make to the variable will not be reflected in the variable passed in. You need to return the variable and assign it in the calling function to change it there.
|When a loop must execute at least once, use REPEAT, otherwise use WHILE.
|To get a single character from a string, S, there are several ways. S(3) returns an ASCII code. CHAR(S(3)) will return it as a string like "e". S(3,1) returns a one character substring as in "e". ASC(S(3,1)) is the same as S(3).
|The \ character is generated from the Shift-Vars/Chars key. It's on the first page of characters.
|Screen real estate is as follows.
|* (0,0,319,18) Top Status Area, including border line at the bottom.
|* (0,19,319,201) Main Work area of the screen.
|* (0,202,319,219) Input Area at bottom of screen, above the menu bar.
|* (0,220,319,239) Menu Bar at the bottom of the screen.
|* (0,0,319,239) Total Screen Rectangle.
|When plotting a function where f(x) is complex over an interval, the graph will appear blank during that interval, as you cannot plot a complex value when there is only a real y-axis. Get the magnitude of the complex value and plot that instead.
|Use L(0) to index the tail of a list. To concatenate to a list, you can do something like L:={4,9,16};L(0):=√(L);
|That would result in L being {4,9,16,2,3,4}.
|Indefinite integral has an implicit "+ constant" at the end of the results. In some CAS systems it's mentioned, but in the PRIME, it isn't. Note that this is so the result can be cut and pasted without having to delete the extra text, which is preferred. The constant is eliminated when the limits are provided for the definite integral. Note that the preval() function calculates f(b)-f(a), when called like preval(f,a,b[,var]), which can be used to get the definite integral from the indefinite integral.
|When integrating in CAS, if you put a . after a limit (definite integral) it knows to use approximation, so you'd use 0. instead of 0 would force this. This also happens in some other functions too. Worth trying if you get undef from a calculation.
|When working with trigonometric functions, there are a group of functions that can allow for simplification of terms, or expansion in a particular direction. trigcos() will try to express the expression in terms of cosines, similarly with trigsin, trigtan. Likewise, there are a set of functions to convert between exponents, trig and ln functions. simplify and trigexpand can be useful in such cases too. tcollect() can convert an expression involving powers of trig functions to functions of nx. Note that some of these functions can result in a constant at the end of the expression and if this is an indefinite integral result, then this constant can be thrown away without error. ratnormal() can combine multiple fractions into one simplest irreducible fraction.
|E.g. Calling integrate( (cos(2*x)^3)*(sin(2*x)^5), x ) results in -(1/16)*cos(2*x)^3-(1/6)*cos(2*x)^6-(1/8)*cos(2*x)^4. trigsin() of this result gives -(1/16)*sin(2*x)^8-(1/12)*sin(2*x)^6-(1/48). Calling ratnormal() on this gives us (-3*(sin(2*x))^8+4*(sin(2*x))^6-1)/48. If we wished, we could drop the 1/48 term, since it's an indefinite integral. So, dropping the constant and calling trigexpand on this, the result is -16*(cos(x)^8)*(sin(x)^8)-(16/3)*(cos(x)^6)*(sin(x)^6). Likewise, taking the original integral result and calling tcollect() on it, the result is -(3/256)*cos(4*x)-(1/512)*cos(8*x)-(1/768)*cos(12*x)-(1/2048)*cos(16*x)-(73/6144).
|Again, since it's an indefinite integral, the constant term at the end can be dropped.
|In summary, have a trig expression and want to break it down to certain terms:
|* trigcos: Breaks it down in terms of cos.
|* trigsin: Breaks it down in terms of sin.
|* trigtan: Breaks it down in terms of tan.
|* tcollect: Converts from powers of trig functions to functions of n*x. Converts products to sums.
|* trigexpand: Converts to expression in terms of sin(x) and cos(x).
|* ratnormal: Changes different fractions in each term to one big irreducible fraction.
|TEVAL(func_call()) returns the time it takes to run func_call in seconds in 2.5_s units. Since this format isn't a real, it cannot be assigned to the global REAL variables like A,B,C,etc.. in Home mode. There is an undocumented time() function that just returns a REAL value that can be used in both Home and CAS mode. It's undocumented so it could disappear in a future release of the firmware. Note that due to the timer tick being 1ms, and due to timer functions to get the battery value, LCD refresh, etc, etc, timer values under 100ms should be taken with a grain of salt. You can put the function call in a loop that takes over a second to execute, then you can compare the values returned with a bit more confidence.

A diffuser, in an automotive context, is a shaped section of the car underbody which improves the car's aerodynamic properties by enhancing the transition between the high-velocity airflow underneath the car and the much slower freestream airflow of the ambient atmosphere. It works by providing a space for the underbody airflow to decelerate and expand so that the boundary between the car's airflow and "external" airflow is less turbulent. It also provides a degree of "wake infill" (the wake being a turbulent area of low pressure that is caused by the passage of the vehicle through the air; this can cause pressure drag).
As the air enters towards the front of the car it accelerates and reduces pressure. There is a second suction peak at the transition of the flat bottom and diffuser. The diffuser then eases this high velocity air back to normal velocity and also helps fill in the area behind the car making the whole underbody a more efficient downforce producing device by reducing drag on the car and increasing downforce.
The aft part of a car underbody can be a diffuser. It works to bring the low pressure air below the car back to the ambient atmospheric pressure without inducing turbulence. It uses Bernoulli's principle, such that the pressure increases while the velocity decreases. Since the pressure below the car is lower than on the side and above the car, downforce is produced if implemented correctly. Injecting the exhaust into the rear diffuser can also help extract the air from below the car. The exhaust gasses effectively energize the boundary layer, helping to raise the pressure of the low-pressure, fast-moving airstream back to the ambient atmospheric pressure at the exit of the diffuser. This helps extract the air more efficiently from the underbody.
Note that the front of the car slows down the air without a diffuser making this the ideal place for an inlet. Instead, a splitter is commonly used here. The splitter serves to reduce the pressure below the front of the car and thereby increase the amount of downforce in that region. The airstream is brought to stagnation above the splitter, by an air dam, causing an area of high pressure. Below the splitter, air is accelerated, as stated above, which causes the pressure to drop and create downforce. Some race cars, such as the Toyota GT-One actually use a proper diffuser in this area to help create more downforce.

Eighteen years after Orange County crashed into the largest municipal bankruptcy, with a $1.6-billion trading loss, the collapse remains the leading example of foolhardy investments, Wall Street greed and lazy government supervision.
That is an enduring legacy of Robert L. Citron, the soft-spoken but high-rolling former treasurer who died this week at age 87. His legacy, though, also includes the state Legislature's subsequent overhaul of investment rules, which were tightened to prevent budget-strapped local governments from ever becoming so reckless again.
Indeed, it was other pressures — soaring pension obligations, diving revenues, higher unemployment and a glut of foreclosures — that sank San Bernardino, Stockton and other cities into recent bankruptcies.
Jefferson County, Ala., became the largest municipal failure two years ago, with $4.2 billion in losses. But no local government has yet overshadowed the Orange County debacle in sheer shock value.

Thanks guys.
You can now try out a very early build in your browser(the wonders of unity).
You might need to go in incognito just in case there is something cached or if you played a previous game of mine on that page.
Anyway, if you get an error try incognito.
Arrow keys and D, A to walk
Space bar to attack.
Mouse click to skip dialog and select yes/no.
Hi Pompipompi,
just tried it, cool
If you don't try, you'll never know.
I am trying to maintain an IndieDB pate with updates and progress:
It's called "Klalha" now btw. Klalha is curse in Hebrew, basically.
I really dig the visual style of this! Any idea when you will have an Android version ready to roll?
DrnkPnk says, "Obey The Beard!"
I helped create a mini-game in Explosive Dinosaurs. Otakupunk played it, and now you can too!
Follow my weirdness - > Instagram
The game is not ready yet.
I uploaded a WIP build.
An Android build would be easy because it's unity.
If you mean a build for a micro console it's even easier because I can rely on having a gamepad. For phones it will require more work to figure out the touch interface.
Thanks for your feedback.
Also, a bit more busy with work lately, so less time to work on this. But I am working on this.
I am having a bit of an issue with the gameplay.
The issue is that it's quite easy to walk around most of the monsters.
But I guess that's common for a lot of the games. If you don't kill monsters you don't level up.
Also I made that you can't open chests and stuff when there are monsters around or chasing you.
For now it's fine I guess...
Also, I wanted to make a bigger monster, like a giant or a troll so I made this "Raclop":

StinkyLulu's got a new blogcrush: Silent-Porn-Star.
___ Item 2: WATCH OUT - THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU.
Do yourself a crazytime favor: don't miss this brilliant mashup. StinkyLulu's favorite movie of all time combined with StinkyLulu's favorite afterschool treat, circa 1976? ("Jan, that's TERRIFIC!" Bonus points to anyone who can name which fabulous 1973 animated classic that hostess girl starred in.) I just swoon. (via LadyBunny.)
___ Item 3: DISCOVER THE TRUTH, AT LAST.
StinkyLulu's new favorite site -- Stuff White People Like -- is chock full of enlightenment. Of particular relevance is an explanation #74, which details why some white people really love Oscar parties. And if you're interested in further nuances of whiteness, Racialicious points your attention to the interviews with the whitebrain behind Stuff White People Like at Assimilated Negro. As the whitest woman alive might say, good times.
___ Item 4: READ CAREFULLY.
Just checkin' to see if you're actually reading. I got nothing. Move along to #5..
___ Item 5: SHADOWBOX WITH ME & MACY.
The results are in for the BORN IN 1967 polling. Seems someone down under really wanted me to look at Macy Gray in 2005's Shadowboxer, and so 'tis. I hope to have time enough to look at least one or two other perfs from our 1967 babies (prolly one from the top 4, and maybe the one that's most piqued my curiosity): so if you were pulling for someone else there's still hope.
___ Item 6: GET READY.
My "donations" to Nathaniel's recent fundraiser (3 Supporting Actress Profiles as well as the "naming opportunity" for April's Smackdown) were "awarded" within 12 or so hours of their announcement. You go! Which means we have a few treats to look forward to. We're still sorting the details of the Supporting Profiles but, thanks to Patty Clarkson fan Chris Drew, we'll be able to lavish ourself with a special "overlooked" profile of Ms. Clarkson's turn as Olivia Harris in 2003's The Station Agent sometime in March. AND, thanks to the thoughtful and generous consideration of George, throughout April, we'll review actressing at the edges by Grace Kelly, Geraldine Page, Marjorie Rambeau, Donna Reed and Thelma Ritter -- or the Best Supporting Actresses of 1953. A truly excellent roster to kick off the 3rd (!) year of Supporting Actress Sundays. Of course, this also means we now know the year for our next "Born In" series. So, lovely reader, which 1953 babies do you like best for the next BORN IN contest? Please do share your suggestions -- actress and performance of the last 10 years -- in comments.

A secure portal allowing our customers and vendors 24/7 access to their operational and financial information.
It wasn't so long ago that the grain quinoa would have been ignored by the majority of the western world, and certainly regarded as no more than a lesser cousin to the likes of rice, pasta and potato at the average dinner table.
Today, however, much has changed, and quinoa takes its position as a trendy health food, popular in restaurants and homes all over the globe.
This has been great news for Bolivia, where the economy has seen a huge boost from the 'trendier' status of this humble foodstuff.
MSC is proud to be playing a vital role in supporting the community of Bolivian farmers who are now able to make a positive gain from the grain's worldwide demand.
In fact, now the leading carrier of Quinoa in the country, we've been operating in Bolivia for more than 16 years and in 2016 we were responsible for shipping more than 34.000 tons of the product.
We are able to serve our export customers by providing:
In addition to this, we can offer extended vessel cut-off and late arrival service, and a highly competitive pre-carriage service, in conjunction with a well-developed intermodal offering.
Our transit times ensure harvested quinoa will typically arrive in USA in less than 30 days, and in Europe within 37.

Tis the season for writers conferences and I'm planning on attending a few. Here are some for my to-do list.
Everyone can attend this one as it takes place online. What does NiNoCon stand for? Ninja Novel Conference, of course. It's the lovely brain child of Ali Cross. Go check it out here for more information.
Life The Universe and Everything is Feb 9th-11th in Provo, UT. I'm only going on Saturday, but there will still be big names like James Dashner, Dan Wells, Richard Paul Evens, and Brandon Mull to name a few. It's only $30 for all three days and $20 for just one day. So, if you live close by you won't want to miss this one!
LDS Storymakers
This one isn't until May, but it's best to sign up now as there are only 450 seats. I'm going to both days of this one and I am seriously excited. There will be some great speakers and I've submitted my 1st chapter to their contest. Super fun!
What conferences are you attending this year?

Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, are a large group of carbon-based chemicals that evaporate easily at room temperature. Commonly found in many household products including carpets, cleaning products and adhesives, they emit potentially harmful levels of chemicals into the air for many months after application.
According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, research has shown that high or prolonged exposure to VOCs can yield adverse effects, including eye and throat irritation, headaches, asthma, liver damage, complications to the central nervous system and cancer.

Quote from: Alpo on August 27, 2012, 03:34:47 PMWell that's what I think but I try to understand OO perspective on this. I'm not exactly sure whether their ecclesiology is the same as ours. Many seem to be more open-minded than EOs.I don't think there is such a thing as an OO ecclesiology, or an EO ecclesiology. I think there is only Orthodox ecclesiology. Unfortunately people, in both Communions, disagree about what that is.There seems to be a mindset that either the EO are the Church, or the OO are the Church, and the Church can't be wrong, so it has to be one or the other, and anyone who says maybe it's both is labeled an Anglican (Branch Theory). But this seems to me to be borrowed RC ecclesiology making a straw man of Orthodox ecclesiology to call it Anglican and wrong.I believe that the Greek Orthodox Church and the Coptic Orthodox Church are not Churches. A Church, an ecclesia, is a gathering of Christians, a community, a household, not a bureaucratic administrative institution.A Church is a diocese, centered around a bishop. "Where the bishop is, there the Church is". Patriarchates are just synods of bishops, with a metropolitan or archbishop or patriarch as president. But that president is the president of a synod of Churches, not of a superchurch. Neither he nor the synod have authority to interfere in the local affairs of a Church, i.e. a diocese. They only decide together in love common issues.The Churches that meet in a local synod are in Communion with on another automatically, since they all commemorate the same Patriarch, i.e. they are all in Communion with that Patriarch.But what makes the Coptic Patriarchate in Communion with the Indians or any others? Historically, different patriarchates would exchange letters of Communion, agreeing to provide sacramental hospitality to each other's flocks, this is how they were in Communion.But if two local Churches broke Communion with each other, this has never meant that one or the other is THE Church, and the other is not. In fact, both Churches might be in Communion with the larger Community, just not with each other. There are human misunderstandings that cause divisions that need healing--divisions within the Church. Even if there is a clean break of Communion, it does not mean that one or the other is or is not the Church. They can reconcile, as has happened in history, and one does not rebaptise and reordain the other, they just carry on, one Church restoring communion with the other.How were they not two branches? Because the Church is not divided into bishoprics, or patriarchates. The Church is simply not divided. A local Church is not a part of the Church, it is the Church. The Church is the Body of Christ that spans all time and space, encompasses all Christians in all times and all places, all cultures, languages and classes. This is the meaning of Catholic, not world-wide. When two or three are gathered in His Name, around the Eucharistic table, the Church breaks into time and space, and that local community is present at the one Liturgy, united with all Christians in all Churches who are participating in the same Liturgy in all times and places. So even if they are separated from Communion from one another through ignorance, then they are not branches or parts, they are local communities that still participate in the unity of the Church, though through our sin that unity is not manifested to the world.Now, if a group goes into heresy, then they are cut off from the Communion of the Church, anathematized. This does not mean that we know that when they pray the Liturgy they are not united in the same heavenly Liturgy, in the Body of Christ. It means that we find them defective, and so we cannot say they are a sure manifestation of the Church, or are surely a manifestation of the Church. So we cut them off, cast them out so that they may repent and others may not be scandalized. But this doesn't mean we say we are the Church, the Body of Christ, and they are not. The Church is not an institution, it is a mystery, it is the Body of Christ, and we know that we in the Orthodox Church surely participate in her in the Liturgy, but we cannot say about others.So, when the Eastern Orthodox met the Anglicans, who presented themselves as Orthodox, as an Apostolic Church that broke from Rome and maintained Apostolic Christianity, it was perfectly normal that the reaction was not "we're the Church, so they can't be, let's convert them", but "we've found lost brothers we didn't know about". So it was perfectly natural that the Greek Patriarch sent a letter to the Anglican Archbishop thanking him for granting Sacramental hospitality to his people in North America where there were no Churches. It was perfectly natural that they should talk, and work towards reunion, not conversion. But when in those talks it became clear that the Anglican position was not as they had made out, that they were not Apostolic as claimed, that they were not a sure manifestation of the Body of Christ, of the Church, then it was perfectly natural to remain separate from them.This is what has happened between the EO and the OO. We were separated for politics, and any differences in Christology we had have been worked out. It doesn't matter if one was wrong or not then, if they made an error and repented, we should heal the schism and be reunited. We should let the world know we are His by our love for one another. There is no excuse to remain separate now, out of fear of saying we were wrong about each other, out of fear of falling into branch theology, of saying that the there were two Churches... the EO and the OO are not Churches, they are groups of local Churches that participate in the One Church.So if there are Catholic diocese in parts of the world that are free from the errors that came to Rome through ambition, it does not seem so outrageous to me if Orthodox local Churches and local Catholic Churches there recognize in each other the truth, and Commune. But if it is just a false unity with different beliefs, and only a common belief that belief doesn't matter, that Orthodoxy doesn't matter, then it is clearly wrong. I don't know the situation enough to know.There is no Church of the 3 councils, or the 7 councils, or the Pope. There are only local Churches that either maintain the Apostolic faith and practise, and are in Communion with some other local Churches and not others, and there are local Churches that do not maintain the Apostolic faith, but follow traditions of men. Some like the Protestants reject even the priesthood and the Liturgy, so they are very clearly not local Churches, they are just gatherings of believers, but they can never be Churches without a bishop and the Eucharist. The RC have clearly deviated from the Orthodox faith, so we must remain separate. But the OO and the EO, if we hold the same faith, and participate in the same heavenly Liturgy, should not fear Communing together and having unity because of a wrong idea about what the Church is that makes us fear that saying so would mean the Church was wrong or there are two Churches, that simply isn't Orthodox ecclesiology. I believe that what I believe is the Orthodox ecclesiology. But then, everyone with a different opinion also believes they are correct. This is a topic that needs to be explored much more. So many of the things we do wrong stem from bad ecclesiology.
Well that's what I think but I try to understand OO perspective on this. I'm not exactly sure whether their ecclesiology is the same as ours. Many seem to be more open-minded than EOs.

It's a simplistic argument, I think, and belittles some who have valid criticisms.
Nobody called Kanye West racist, for instance, when he interrupted Obama:
Having said that, there is no denying that there's a good deal of people who are racist, and that when people call out racism sometimes, they are accused of playing the race card, a point cartoonist Keith Knight made clear recently, when he drew himself like this:
If the satire was clear to you, it was lost on the students of Slippery Rock University in western Pennsylvania:
It was also lost on WYTV, which ran the headline, "Students upset over racist cartoon."
And yes, students are protesting the cartoon by wearing nooses over their necks. Go figure.
Knight, whose syndicated "K Chronicles" ran at Ulster County Community College when I was editor of The Senator there, issued a statement:
In the first panel of this specific comic strip, white people accuse a black man, who is about to be lynched, of pulling the race card. This is an exaggerated, satirical version of what we often see and hear in mainstream media: the victim gets accused of pulling the race card, which is an easy way to dismiss the real issues involved.
Students talk about experiencing real-life incidents of racism on campus, yet it is my satirical comic strip they're protesting over. I'd like to hear what the students are going through. If this uproar causes the school to address those issues, then my comic has done its job.

The annual J. K. Russell Research Fellowship was created in memory of John K. Russell (1896-1958). Mr. Russell, father of CTNS Founder and Director, Robert John Russell, was born of Italian immigrants, and worked as an industrial engineer and humanitarian.
Research Conference
On Saturday March 15th, Dr. Coyne will present "Twenty Years After the New View from Rome: Pope John Paul II on Science and Religion" at the all-day research conference. Gabriele Gionti, Nathan Hallanger, Oliver Putz, Robert John Russell and Richard Schenk will present their responses to Coyne's work.
In his preface to the book, Physics, Philosophy and Theology: A Common Quest for Understanding (PPT), the publication of which became the inspiration and the guiding beacon for the series of conferences on divine action which ensued over a period of twenty years, George Coyne insisted that scholars were about to engage in a "small beginning." That small beginning was a conference held at the Vatican Observatory in 1987 at the request of Pope John Paul II to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the publication of Isaac Newton's Principia. One of the first steps in that small beginning was the publication in that PPT volume of an outstanding message of John Paul II on the interaction between the culture of religious faith and that of science. The Pope says, for instance, directing himself to the scientists, philosophers and theologians whose research is contained in the PPT volume: "You are called to learn from one another, to renew the context in which science is done and to nourish the inculturation which vital theology demands. Each of you has everything to gain from such an interaction, and the human community which we both serve has a right to demand it from us."
Dr Coyne's bio, lecture abstracts, registration details and more information can be found at www.ctns.org/jkr_fellow/.html. You may print a registration form from the website to fax or mail to CTNS.
Conference general registration is $45; (Discounted to $35 for Student or Senior -62 or over).
Registration for CTNS Members is only $35; (Discounted to $20 for Student or Senior current CTNS members).
A box lunch is included for those who register by March 11.
Walk-ins registration are welcome as space allows and you may bring your lunch or walk to a nearby cafe..
Public Forum Lecture
Dr. Coyne will present his Fellow's Public Forum on Tuesday, March 18, at 7:00 pm, co-sponsored by CTNS and the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley.
Dr. Coyne's topic is "The Dance of The Fertile Universe: Did God Do It"? The lecture will be held at the Gesu Chapel of JSTB, 1735 Le Roy Ave. Berkeley, CA. This event is free and open to the public. For details, visit www.ctns.org/jkr_fellow.html
In addition, Dr. Coynes will be a guest professor in the CTNS-GTU Spring Course, "Evolution, Evil, and Eschatology" on March 20.
The CTNS 2007-2008 Charles H. Townes Graduate Student Fellowship
In 2003, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (CTNS) created a new Fellowship program for doctoral research in theology and science at the GTU. The Fellowship is named in honor of Charles H. Townes, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his co-discovery of the maser and the laser. Professor Townes is Professor of Physics in the Graduate School at U.C. Berkeley, has served on the CTNS Board of Directors for over a decade and is an active member of First Congregational Church, Berkeley. The purpose of the Fellowship is to honor doctoral students who have demonstrated clear ability to do very promising research on issues related to theology and science. The selection is based on academic excellence. Students in any Area of the GTU doctoral program whose research focuses on theology and science are eligible to apply. Two modest awards each year are offered: one for a student who is working on the comprehensive exams at an advanced level (the equivalent of the "special comprehensive exams" in the Area of Systematic and Philosophical Theology) and one who has finished their comprehensive exams and is working on their dissertation or dissertation proposal. Submit your best paper and CV to CTNS by March 10, 2008.
The Fellowships will be announced on March 15th at the J. K. Russell Research Fellowship Conference. For details, visit www.ctns.org/news_021208.html

Significant New Books in Theology and Science
Cosmology from Alpha to OmegaIan Barbour, in the book's Foreword says that Russell's "contributions to the dialogue between science and religion… are extraordinary and enduring." Dr. Russell is so versed in contemporary science as to offer original insights with credibility for both fields. Among Dr. Russell's many important publications are six influential volumes that he edited for the joint Vatican Observatory series on scientific and theological perspectives on divine action.
Readers of the CTNS E-news already know the significance of Dr. Robert Russell's life-work in science and theology, founding CTNS, teaching and writing for over 25 years. Now readers may delve into the depths of his work by reading Cosmology from Alpha to Omega: the Creative Mutual Interaction of Theology and Science, published by Fortress Press in their theology and the sciences series.
Russell takes theology and science beyond mere dialogue into genuinely new relations: "creative mutual interaction" in these chapters. The theological topics range from God, creation, suffering in nature, and the theological significance of life in the universe to an eschatology involving the transformation of the universe into the new creation based on the bodily Resurrection of Jesus. Scientific topics include the Big Bang, inflation and quantum cosmologies, relativity, quantum mechanics, molecular and evolutionary biology, exobiology, and the modern mathematics of infinity.

First Volume in New Collaborative Series on Problem of Natural Evil
The Vatican Observatory / CTNS collaboration has produced a new volume, Physics and Cosmology: Scientific Perspectives on the Problem of Natural Evil. This volume is edited by Nancey Murphy, Robert John Russell and William Stoeger, S.J.
These essays resulted from the seventh international research conference co-sponsored by the Vatican Observatory and the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences. Previous conferences focused on the problem of divine action. This is the first in a series on the problem of natural evil—on reconciling suffering caused by natural processes with God's goodness. Section headings and a sampling of authors include: "Historical Definitions, and Typologies" (representative chapters by Niels Christian Hvidt; Terrence W. Tilley; Wesley J. Wildman; and Christopher Southgate and Andrew Robinson), "Scientific and Philosophical Responses" (William R. Stoeger, S.J., Robert John Russell, Nancey Murphy, Thomas Tracy, Philip Clayton and Steven Knapp), "Responses: The God-World Relation" (Kirk Wegter-McNelly, Denis Edwards) and "Changing the Terms of the Debate," (Brad J. Kallenberg, and Don Howard). (Vatican Observatory – CTNS, 2007), distributed in the USA by the University of Notre Dame Press (www3.undpress.nd.edu/) ISBN: 978-88-209-7959-1.

The Evolution of Evil
Edited by Gaymon Bennett, Martinez J. Hewlett, Ted Peters and Robert John Russell. Now available.
This collection of essays attempt to clarify the problem of evil as shaped by evolutionary biology, examining its scientific, historical, philosophical, and theological elements, and offering a new approach to a Christian theodicy. Section titles include "Evolution and Evil, Framing the Problem" (with essays by Ted Peters, Christopher Southgate, Michael Ruse, James Haag, and Robert John Russell); "Evolution and God: Theodicy" (with essays by Joshua Moritz, John Haught, Patricia Williams, William A. Dembski and Peter M. J. Hess); "Evolution and the Human: Anthropodicy" (with essays by Martinez J. Hewlett, Gaymon Bennett, Nathan Hallanger, Derek Nelson, René Girard and George Murphy). (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co. KG., 2008), ISBN 978-3-525-56979-5. Distributed by Eisenbrauns.

Neuroscience and Religion
CTNS associate, Dr. Mark Graves' new book, Mind, Brain and the Elusive Soul: Human Systems of Cognitive Science and Religion grew out of his M.A. thesis and the course he and Bob Russell taught in 2005 on "Theology, the Person & Neuroscience". The book covers issues such as: Does science argue against the existence of the human soul? Many scientists and scholars believe the whole is more than the sum of the parts. This book uses information and systems theory to describe the "more" that does not reduce to the parts. One sees this in the synapses—or apparently empty gaps between the neurons in one's brain—where informative relationships give rise to human mind, culture, and spirituality. Drawing upon the disciplines of cognitive science, computer science, neuroscience, general systems theory, pragmatic philosophy, and Christian theology, Dr. Graves reinterprets the traditional doctrine of the soul as form of the body to frame contemporary scientific study of the human soul. (Ashgate , 2008). ISBN: 978-0-7546-6226-6.
Graves has taught at CTNS-GTU and organizes a cognitive science and religion program with faculty at the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) and the University of California, Berkeley. This book draws upon his 20 years of experience in interdisciplinary research. Graves studied cognitive science at Georgia Tech before earning a doctorate in computer science/artificial intelligence at the University of Michigan. He is currently a Scholar in Residence at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley.

Bob Russell Speaks to Various Groups in Early 2008
Inaugural Ian G. Barbour Lecture
The inaugural Ian G. Barbour Lecture at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota was delivered on January 16 by Dr. Robert Russell. The lecture was titled "Five Issues on the Frontier of Science and Religion: Ian Barbour's Lasting Impact on the Dialogue."
From 1978-1981, Bob Russell was Assistant Professor of Physics at Carleton.
Dr. Barbour is Professor of Physics and Professor of Religion, and the Winifred and Atherton Bean Professor Emeritus of Science, Technology and Society at Carleton. He is respected as the unparalleled pioneer in the science and religion dialogue, having written Issues in Science and Religion in 1966 which launched the recent scholarly study in the field.
"Chico Triad" participates in Northern California Conference
Bob Russell was the guest of Rev. Dr. Greg Cootsona, (GTU Ph.D., and Associate Pastor for Adult Discipleship) and the "Chico Triad on Philosophy, Theology, and Science" a Local Societies Initiative (LSI) group partially funded by a grant by Metanexus Institute. Bob addressed the topic, "Key Issues in Science in Religion Today" at Bidwell Presbyterian Church on February 1st and 2nd. The Friday evening public lecture hosted 160 attendees. On Saturday, a conference took place with more in-depth lectures and Q & A sessions, with Dr. Cootsona moderating and participating. The LSI group studied Bob's recent book, Cosmology from Alpha to Omega, for the two months prior to his visit which resulted in a stimulating and exciting discourse.

Church Science and Religion Discussion Group Hosts Bob Russell in nearby Lafayette, California
Meetings of the Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church Science and Religion Discussion Group have been held over the past several years, and many fascinating issues and topics have been discussed. On February 18, 2008 the group welcomed Bob Russell, from the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences, who lectured to a packed audience including a forty-five minute audience discussion. The topic of Bob';s presentation was "Big Bang Cosmology, Resurrection and Christian End Times: Is the Resurrection and the Christian End Times transformation of the world compatible with our scientific understanding of the universe?" Bob began with the apparent conflict between Christian hopes for a New Creation and scientific predictions of a future that is "freeze or fry." He then argued that this conflict is actually not between theology and science but between theology and the philosophical assumption that the predictions of science must come true. If God's ongoing action as continuous creator of the universe is what underlies the regularities of nature on which science is based, and if God will act in radically new ways to bring about Christian hopes for the consummation of the universe and its transformation in the promised New Creation as promised with the Resurrection of Christ, then scientific predictions for "freeze or fry" simply don't hold. Bob then listed several potential scientific research programs that could be pursued in light of Christian hopes for the New Creation. Details of his lecture can be found in Ch. 10 of his latest book, Cosmology from Alpha to Omega: The creative mutual interaction of theology and science (Fortress Press). Leading this group are CTNS members, Ed Schoenberger and John Turpin.

From Rats to Mutton: China's Profitable Fake Foods
More alleged food offenses in China as authorities test mystery meat that may have been sold as lamb to a chain operated by Yum Brands. The WSJ's Laurie Burkitt tells Deborah Kan why the list of tainted and mislabeled food in China keeps getting longer.

Trailing by six at the break, ETSU went on to outscore Lipscomb by 19 points in the final 20 minutes, and the Lady Bucs rallied past the Lady Bisons, 68-55, in front of a raucous crowd of 1,231 fans inside Allen Arena.
With the win, ETSU improved to 14-9, 12-3 in the A-Sun, and now the Lady Bucs set up a huge showdown Sunday afternoon at
The Lady Buccaneer starters got the job done tonight as they scored all but five of ETSU's 68 points. For the 11th time this season, junior TaRonda Wiles (Danville, Va.) led Lady Bucs with a game-high 19 points and fellow junior Siarre Evans (
The opening eight minutes of the first half saw one tie and six lead changes, but with the score knotted at 8-all, the Lady Bucs opened a little cushion by posting an 8-2 run over the next five and a half minutes and grabbed a 16-10 lead with 8:31 remaining in the half. However, shades of the
ETSU had no rhythm on offense as they shot 31-percent (9-29) in the first 20 minutes and turned the ball over 13 times. Lipscomb shot 41.4 percent (12-29) from the floor and scored 13 points off the Lady Buccaneer miscues. The Lady Bucs had a 25-17 advantage on the glass, but the Lady Bisons hit four 3-pointers to ETSU's one.
Whatever was said in the locker room at halftime worked for the Lady Bucs, as they used the first 1:17 of the second half to evaporate their six-point deficit, thanks to a lay-up by Belcher and threes by Wiles and Evans - forcing Lipscomb to burn its third 30-second timeout of the game. In total, ETSU used a 12-2 run to open the first two minutes and fifty seconds of the half to grab a 37-33 lead, but four unanswered points by Lipscomb evened the game at 37-all with 16:05 to play.
Perfection was the key to ETSU's success to start the second half, as the Lady Bucs were a perfect 6-for-6 from the floor (3-of-3 from beyond the arc) and led 42-37 in the first four minutes and forty-three second of the final stanza.
The Lady Bucs were able to expand their lead to eight, 49-41, after Wiles connected on a jumper at the 11-minute mark, but two quick Lipscomb jumpers lowered its deficit to four, 49-45.
Once again just when ETSU looked to have control of the game (55-48), a 3-pointer by Jilian Partin cut the Lady Buccaneer lead to four, 55-51, with less than six minutes to go in the contest. From there,
Washington's trey proved to be the dagger as Lipscomb was only able to get to within five (60-55) and the Lady Bucs closed out the remaining four minutes on an 8-0 run to claim the 13-point victory.
For the game, the Lady Bucs shot 39.4 percent from the field (26-66) and after going 1-of-5 from beyond the arc in the first half, ETSU closed out the game with a 4-of-7 clip to post a 41.7 shooting percentage from 3-point land (5-12). ETSU dominated the Lady Bisons on the glass (50-35) and the Lady Bucs scored 24 points off 24 forced turnovers. In addition to the 50 rebounds, half of them came on the offensive end - which in the end - resulted into 17 second-chance points.
Lipscomb had three players score in double figures, with Partin leading the way with 16 points.
The Lady Bucs continue on with their four-game road swing, as ETSU faces
