In chapter three, the topic is Adam and Eve. Lots of people assume that everyone associated with BioLogos must believe the same thing about Adam and Eve, namely, that they never existed. But that just isn't the case. There are multiple models for understanding the biblical Adam and Eve that are consistent with what we know about the world today through science. Reasons to Believe (RTB) holds to the "traditional" model of Adam and Eve being created separately from the other life on earth and as the sole progenitors of all human beings. In this chapter, BioLogos representative Loren Haarsma interacts with RTB's Ken Samples and Ted Cabal (professor at The Southern Baptist Seminary). The excerpt below is from Loren's opening essay where he lays out several of the models for Adam and Eve held by those who affirm the scientific consensus regarding human evolution.
Excerpt from Loren Haarsma, "The Original Couple" from Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?: Discussion Origins with Reasons to Believe and BioLogos, ed. Kenneth Keathley, J.B. Stump, and Joe Aguirre (Downer's Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press), 53-54.
Having looked briefly at three areas of scholarship, we can now describe a few potentially viable scenarios for interpreting Genesis 2–3. Each agrees with the scientific consensus on human evolution that our ancestral population was never as small as two individuals. These scenarios are also consistent with core doctrinal commitments regarding humans being created in the image of God and the reality of sin as disobedience to God's revealed will.
- Adam and Eve as a transformed pair of ancient representative-ancestors of all humanity. At some early point when our ancestral population was only a few thousand individuals, perhaps about two hundred thousand years ago in Africa, God specially selected a pair not only to receive special revelation but also to be miraculously transformed—perhaps by a superabundant gift of the Holy Spirit—to make it possible for them to be truly holy, capable of obeying all of God's spiritual and moral requirements. While they were for a while able not to sin, nevertheless they sinned, and the special grace that allowed them to be sinless was withdrawn. In the centuries following their revelation and disobedience, that group and their descendants mixed culturally and eventually genetically with other groups of humans alive at that time, and in this way the spiritual, psychological, and cultural effects of sin eventually spread to the entire population.
- Adam and Eve as a small group of ancient representative-ancestors of all humanity. At the point when our ancestral population was only a few thousand individuals, God specially selected a small family group of a few dozen individuals to receive special revelation. Although they potentially could have lived according to God's expectations for them, they chose to sin. We might picture the fall as a singular event, or we might picture it as a process taking place during a probationary period for this group. That first small group who sinned are among the ancestors of all humans today, but not the sole ancestors. In the centuries following their revelation and disobedience, that group and their descendants mixed culturally and eventually genetically with other groups of humans alive at that time, and in this way the spiritual, psychological, and cultural effects of sin eventually spread to the entire population.[1]
- Adam and Eve as a pair of recent representatives of all humanity. Somewhere between forty thousand and eight thousand years ago, God specially selected a pair of individuals to receive special revelation and to act as representatives (but not ancestors) of all human beings. They disobeyed God and so fell into sin in a concentrated historical event. Because they sinned as representatives of all humanity, all of humanity fell into sin. The opportunity for the rest of humanity to receive additional spiritual gifts and to enter into a state of sinless grace before God was lost.[2]
- Adam and Eve as literary figures in a highly compressed history of all our ancestors. Over their long developmental history, whenever our ancestors became sufficiently advanced, God used both general and special revelation to tell them how they ought to behave and the consequences of disobedience. They chose disobedience again and again. Through their disobedience they damaged their relationship with God, damaged their relationships with one another, and damaged themselves. These consequences were passed from generation to generation. The sciences of genetics and archaeology are not able to show how our ancestors transitioned from animal self-interest to human sinful disobedience, although God does know.

The Atlanta Braves finished April at the top of the NL East largely because of an incredible month by their starting pitchers. Their starters lead the MLB in ERA, and the Braves currently lead the majors in overall ERA. Expectations for the starting rotation were extremely low at the start of the season because of injuries to many key pitchers, but they have resoundingly responded by surprising critics with incredible performances basically all month long. Mike Minor's return on Friday night will give the Braves an added bonus that will boost an already elite rotation. The Braves' offense has scored runs in many important games, and the recent improvements that B.J. Upton has recently helped the team out. However, their record could be even better if the hitters were able to improve on a very bad average of .217 with runners in scoring position.
Player of the Month
Freddie Freeman – As the true leader of the offense last year, Freeman is showing that he is capable of carrying this offense for many years to come by being the most consistent hitter on the team, so far. At the end of April, he had a batting average of .320 with 6 home runs and 17 RBI. Freeman is such a dangerous hitter in that he is able to hit the ball to any part of the field effectively, plus he seems to have developed more power in his swing over the offseason. It is increasingly becoming clear that Freddie is the official face of the franchise, which is a spot that has been vacant since Chipper Jones retired. Despite a recent slump that Freeman is struggling through, he was still the most impactful bat on the team for most of the month.
Pitcher of the Month
Julio Teheran – This is the toughest award to hand out — it is like asking, "Which of these 5 carat diamond rings is shiniest?" Of all the amazing performances by the Atlanta Braves pitchers, which have significantly contributed to them being on top of their division, Teheran's has been the most dominant and reassuring. He has truly look like the ace of the staff, and he has dominated hitters with great command and devastating movement on his pitches. Tehran ended the month of April with a 2-1 record to go along with a 1.47 ERA in a team-leading 43 innings.
Who's Hot
Justin Upton – Upton has absolutely torn it up in April for the Braves in his first two seasons with the ball club. For the month, he had a batting average of .326 to go along with 8 home runs and 18 RBI. However, throughout his career Upton has been known to be a very streaky hitter who is either killing the ball or struggling mightily at the plate. If he is able to keep a consistent pace that is similar to what he produced in April, he would then be a strong contender for the NL MVP race.
Who's Not
Dan Uggla – While he has shown some signs of progression at the plate, Uggla has still struggled as the Braves' starting second baseman. He has not had a single RBI since he knocked in five runs on April 14 against the Phillies. Since that game, he has 8 hits in 48 at-bats with nothing to show besides four errors. An impressive hot streak, which Uggla has done before, would greatly help propel his statistics and overall standing as a starter, because Ramiro Pena and Tyler Pastornicky are itching for his everyday job.
Keys to Winning
April was a very good month for the Atlanta Braves, as their incredible pitching and powerful offense have put them at the top of the NL East. For success in moving forward this season, the Braves will need to find consistency in their offense. This means that the team should not solely rely on the home run and instead focus on advancing runners and timely hitting. With the recent sweep of the Braves by the Marlins, it showed that Atlanta's pitching is not untouchable. It was inevitable that reality would come knocking, but the pitching should still be very solid for the rest of the season. If the starters are able to keep going 6+ innings for the majority of their starts, this would give the bullpen some valuable rest that could come in handy during the later parts of the season.

U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett said he will not concede the Republican gubernatorial nomination before the June 22nd runoff, though he faces an uphill battle to defeat front-runner Nikki Haley.
Meanwhile, an Upstate Republican consultant said he expects a group of Republican businessmen, concerned about the inevitability of Haley's nomination, to bolt their party and organize an effort to support Democratic gubernatorial nominee Vincent Sheheen of Camden.
Haley, a Lexington state representative, nearly won the GOP nomination outright Tuesday, garnering more than twice the number of votes as the second-place Barrett of Westminster.
Though South Carolina has a history of come-from-behind runoff victories — U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint in 2004 and Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer in 2006, both Republicans — observers said the odds are against Barrett.
"If it's 10 points, it's one thing. But it's 27 points. I just don't see it," said Greenville-based political consultant Chip Felkel of Haley's 49-22 margin Tuesday. "He's in it for the long haul, but it's a long, long haul."
An analysis of polling data by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning firm, showed Barrett would pick up most of those who voted for the other two GOP primary candidates, Attorney General Henry McMaster and Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer. But Haley still would win 60 percent of all Republican voters.
Neither McMaster nor Bauer endorsed a runoff candidate Wednesday.
"The only way Haley's going to lose this thing — or that it's even going to be close — is if a new scandal breaks that can actually be proven," wrote Public Policy's Tom Jensen, referring to the unproven claims by two men that they had affairs with Haley in 2007 and 2008. Haley, who is married and has two children, has said the accusations are false.
With the Republican field narrowed to two candidates, Barrett's campaign said both candidates will receive more exposure, benefiting Barrett.

This past Saturday, I learned that a very special person to me (all of my Little Buddies are very special to me) left us to join our ever growing Angelic Choir. Cody Johnson, although I never met you in person, I must know let you know that you are why I started running for my Little Buddies and their families. I had dreams that one day you and your very special dad, Mickey and I would run a marathon or at least a half marathon together; beating all odds, we would conquer the unconquerable.
Well, now that will never be, or will it? I will carry you in my heart, and your name will take its place of honor and in memory on our Angels Rainbow racing shirt. Every mile I run and every race I race will be for you and for your family and for all of my Little Buddies and their families. If I am really lucky maybe one day Grandpa John will not have to run another single mile fighting NB as a cure will have been found. But until that day happens, I again make you and all of my Little Buddies this Promise:
"I will continue to run to raise Funds (I pray so) for research and awareness for the cause until my legs gets too old or tired to run; then I'll just let my Heavenly Father carry me onward in my racing till the cure is found. I Shall Never ever quit!"
May the Peace of our Heavenly Father grant peace and bestow a special healing potion of love to the families and friends of our newest Angels: Cody Johnson, Emilio Gravez, Jacob Stovall, Noah Tyler Bell, Shu Qinpet (pet name Xinxin) and Jenna Mussolini.
Their names will be added to our Angels Forever memorial and to my Angles Rainbow Racing shirt.Please inform me if I have misspelled or misnamed any one of our most precious and beautiful Angels, I will correct immediately- Thanks Gj

About our Fog Harvester
We had to make a fog harvester which converts fog/mist to water through the process of condensation. We used a fine nylon or metal mesh that collects the condensation water which ends up in a tube from which the bees can drink. Our first models had 4 pieces. To reduce costs, we bent a single PVC pipe for a one-part solution. The circular PVC pipes do not stand; so we use square PVC pipes instead.
We are also investigating a hydrophilic mesh to attract as much water as possible and a hydrophobic interior to make the water into beads (as opposed to sheets) so it will be easier for bees to drink. We plan to coat the interior of the PVC pipe with bee's wax.

During these final weeks of Lent before Holy Week, you may be at one of the Sunday Masses in which the scrutinies are celebrated with the elect—those preparing for Baptism at the Easter vigil. The scrutinies are three rites celebrated during the period of purification and enlightenment of the RCIA process to help prepare the elect for Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist. So what is the purpose of the scrutinies?
"In order to inspire in the elect a desire for purification and redemption by Christ, three scrutinies are celebrated. By this means, first of all, the elect are instructed gradually about the mystery of sin, from which the whole world and every person longs to be delivered and thus saved from its present and future consequences. Second, their spirit is filled with Christ the Redeemer, who is the living water (gospel of the Samaritan woman in the first scrutiny), the light of the world (gospel of the man born blind in the second scrutiny), the resurrection and the life (gospel of Lazarus in the third scrutiny). From the first to the final scrutiny the elect progress in their perception of sin and their desire for salvation.
The scrutinies...are rites for self-searching and repentance and have above all a spiritual purpose. The scrutinies are meant to uncover, then heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect; to bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong, and good. For the scrutinies are celebrated in order to deliver the elect from the power of sin and Satan, to protect them against temptation, and to give them strength in Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. These rites, therefore, should complete the conversion of the elect and deepen their resolve to hold fast to Christ and to carry out their decision to love God above all." (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults 130, 128)
Growing up, I was baptized in the Mormon Church, but I was never really that into church. When my wife and I decided to start having kids, we knew we wanted to raise our kids in a faithful household, and since my wife grew up in the Catholic Church, we decided that the Catholic Church is where we wanted our family to go to connect with God. It was at this time I decided that I would join the RCIA so that our family could be one under God. The RCIA has helped deepen my understanding of God and the Catholic faith, and most importantly it taught me that marriage was God's plan and that it is the most sacred of sacraments.
My journey within RCIA and the Catholic faith has provided me with a closer connection to God, my family, and the understanding of what truly matters in life. While not instantaneous, each day I find myself more involved with prayer, finding new ways to seek happiness, and building my faith.
Before I started attending the RCIA at Corpus Christi, I had the pleasure of talking with Father King and Kathy Egle who both helped me to make the decision. During this journey they have been crucial in my growth in the Catholic faith along with everyone else that is part of the RCIA. With attending the RCIA, it has opened my eyes to what the Catholic faith is and has for me. I have grown in my belief and faith and I am looking forward to my baptism.
The RCIA experience has made me feel spiritually closer to my faith. RCIA has taught me how to pray for everybody, not just myself, and seeing how God answers our prayers has amplified my belief in Jesus. RCIA helped me start a relationship with Jesus. It has changed me as far as making me think about living in the Catholic life, and to pray to help spread the word and to bring my family into the Church. I see the world differently than before. Reading about the saints has opened my eyes to miracles and keeps me wanting to learn and read more. RCIA has given me a starting foundation to be part of the Catholic community. I like meeting new people and I've felt a connection with all the RCIA candidates through prayer partners. Their stories and prayers have been inspiring. The RCIA experience has been positive as I've learned a lot about myself and everyone's perception of the translation of scripture has been very thought provoking. The special guest speakers brought a whole other view of the faith and showed a lot more insight into the subjects presented. They were a big help in making my faith stronger. Thank you to the entire RCIA team and what you do for us. It has been a good eye-opening experience. I want to continue to strengthen my faith and share with others and become more involved in the Catholic community.
Tyson — I began reading the early church fathers and found myself deep in history and unable to hold onto my Protestant faith. The Catholic Church really does have the answers. Catholics should never feel threatened by Protestants. Stand firm and know your Church's teachings. She really does have the answers and that is what brought me home. Once I realized where home was, my wife and I decided to go through RCIA. RCIA was important to me because I wanted to join the Church and I also wanted my wife to discover the same beauty and fascination about the Church as I did. As with anything worth doing, it was a struggle with our busy lives, but RCIA really did help us delve deeper into Christian truth, its history and practice so that we could appreciate the mystery and beauty that is the Catholic Church in ways we never thought possible. We are so glad to be coming home!
Angel — I grew up Catholic and was going through the motions as many cradle Catholics do. Eventually I walked away from the Church completely in my teens, as I never understood the teachings on a deeper level and the lifestyle simply did not coincide with my own will. After living a worldly life, tired and broken, I finally accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior through the Protestant church. Much of this I owe to my husband, Tyson. As my faith grew and questions became more frequent, I needed answers on tough subjects. Tyson would always help me through them and some of the questions pertained to the Catholic Church and our differing beliefs as Protestants. The more Tyson searched for the truth, the more he gave me answers on why the Catholic Church was the one true Church. We eventually decided to try RCIA and thought it would be a good fit for us, as we decided it would help me to understand the evidence of the Catholic faith. Since then, RCIA has taught me a lot about why it is Catholics believe in what they do and it has strengthened my faith, trust, and relationship with God. Besides having a deeper relationship with God, my favorite aspect of the Catholic Church is Reconciliation! It has given me the most healing I have ever received of all the sources of help and therapies I have sought for myself. I would encourage all Catholics and potential Catholics to look into all the graces available to them as a Catholic.
RCIA has impacted my life in many ways, especially spiritually, because ever since I started to come I have grown in my faith. These classes have helped me have a better connection with God and my prayer life has been easier to do now because RCIA has helped me with that.
RCIA has definitely been a life changing experience for me personally. Spiritually, I feel so much stronger in my relationship with God and his Love for me, the Church, and all of us—his children. RCIA helps me to engage that Love on many levels by utilizing the many prayers, mysteries, stories, and teachings of Jesus Christ, that only begin to scratch the surface of what really embodies the Catholic faith. RCIA helps remind me that my faith is to be practiced as often as possible by "praying as if everything depended on God, but working as if everything depended on me." Thank you and God bless all RCIA and Team!
There are three other people in RCIA this year: Rogelio who is preparing for Confirmation, Alex who is preparing for Confirmation and Holy Eucharist, and Danielle who is preparing for Confirmation and Holy Eucharist. Please keep everyone in your prayers throughout these coming weeks!

In Defense of Goofy Startup Culture
I'll be the first to admit that the world of internet startups — in general — is in need of an attitude adjustment. In fact, that's not really me "admitting" anything, because I've been yelling about it for the last few years while dealing with VCs and "the valley" and "product-market fit" and all that.
You don't need me to run through the list of issues. It's pretty standard stuff at this point, as indicated by the fact that there's a semi-popular HBO show about these exact problems, and it even seems like a majority of people get the jokes. With so much of the economy either inaccessible to the masses, stagnant, or both, we're way too dependent on internet-things for our daily sense of entrepreneurialism and innovation. In a better world, we'd be seeing wild new innovations in customer service from industries we deal with every day, as we go to the bank, buy a car, or watch TV — it's just that those industries (and many others) are often limited by not-quite-monopolies, protectionism, and other depressing things.
So we turn to the web, and watch a thousand different services battle for our love, often without having to pay for any of them, and for a minute, it feels like capitalism is working for the average consumer again. Unfortunately, even this last bastion of competition probably won't last forever, and today we're a lot closer to watching the internet become like everything else; risk averse, excessively dependent on huge amounts of capital, and ultimately uninterested in the customer experience.
This is because the internet — or more accurately, the collection of things we use that live on the internet — is relatively new, and eventually that stops being the case. In the 1990s and early 2000s, everyone building something for the web was, at least mentally, or culturally, a startup. They lived in the regular world, and tried to fix a regular world problem by building something that leveraged the internet. There was so much work to do to make the web useful that trying to consolidate access, or restrict how problems were solved quickly seemed crazy and infeasible. AOL was the only successful company truly ballsy enough to unofficially declare that they had figured the internet out, that they effectively OWNED it. That worked for a little while, but eventually, as huge usability issues continued to be solved on the open web (access speed, highly functional web applications, better content, etc.) that argument became obviously ridiculous no matter how loudly they made it.
For a while, I thought this was just the nature of the internet, and it's one of the reasons I love the concept so much. It appeared to simply evolve too fast for proper, traditional rent-seeking methods to work. For better or worse, it destroyed cartels like the music and newspaper industries, and made traditional protectionism (again, for better or worse) like IP and copyright — at least in many cases — laughably ineffective.
Now, though, I'm not so sure — maybe AOL just came along a few years too early. With "the internet" so usable that many of us don't even know when we're using it (through mobile apps, DVRs, etc.), consolidation is back, and this time it's much more likely to win. Today, huge public companies like Google, Facebook, and Comcast aren't trying to solve a real-world problem by using the internet as much as they're trying to BE the internet, period. The problem they're going to solve is the same one they're going to create — that you'll need to pay them money to get on the internet and do whatever it is you want to do there, provided it's something they are okay with you doing. This is exactly what AOL tried to do (and did, for a little while) except, as I said, it was too obviously untrue for consumers or even regulators to take seriously.
Google may have the goods to actually pull this off (invisible URLs, replaced by Google searches), and Facebook always seems to come up with transparently bad-faith attempts to take control (standard mobile app-links that all run through a Facebook protocol), but to me, Comcast is the real threat because they're moving the most methodically and are the most rooted to traditional, consolidated-business tactics. In other words, Google and Facebook are giant companies trying to pull off a classic, giant-company consolidation play, but their startup roots are showing — they're still trying to do it by creating value. That means you have to do something so great that it causes people to consolidate themselves for you, and that's really, really hard. Apple sort of did it with the iPhone (they've completely consolidated the App Store, but they put gates around their own creation, not something built by others), but even that has to compete with other ecosystems, and it was a brilliant, revolutionary idea that took years of research, vision, and big gambles.
Comcast knows better — they're like a 19th century railroad. Classic consolidation fights aren't won by building, or "failing fast" — they're simply won by destroying or eating everyone who resembles you, and then taking what they used to own for yourself. It's not complicated. If all of these guys are aliens trying to conquer Earth (a.k.a., the internet), Google and Facebook are the pod-people running an elaborate conspiracy. Comcast are the insect aliens from "Independence Day". They don't have a clever plan, a secret weapon, or an ideology. They have one thing — unmatched firepower (money), and the only reason they haven't used it in the past is because they hadn't found Earth (again, the internet) yet.
Well, they've found it now, and here they are, in their big-ass ship. You can't reason with them, or create some kind of power-sharing agreement. You fight them, or they kill you.
I wonder, for example, if Facebook or Google would actually want a law preventing people from creating alternative search engines, or social networks. Believe it or not, when I really think about it, I don't think they'd want that, because I'm convinced they want to actually win by thinking of something new (even if it's just as anti-competitive in the end). That's what Valley arrogance does — what still having founders around who pride themselves on being smarter than everyone else does.
But Comcast? Not only would they accept a law — I guarantee you they already have one written they're just waiting for the chance to pass someday. Comcast is a 100% percent monopoly play. They don't have a better way for any of this to work, and the only reason they'll even pretend to have considered trying to come up with one is that, at least for now, it's a necessary component of getting past anti-trust regulation. If they can overcome that by throwing money at it, they'll stop pretending. There is no ideology here, no vision for a better internet. There is only money.
Web startups — again, in general — have lots of flaws. However, the culture is still opposed to (or at least uncomfortable with) building things that have literally no greater purpose than making money. You can laugh at that if you work in law, or finance, or hospitality, or other older industries, and that's perfectly understandable. And while yes, cynical pure money plays absolutely exist, they're often obvious, and derided by the more interesting people in the industry. I'm not saying it's even logical, just that it's what I've experienced, and I think the weird, intellectual path the Googles and Facebooks of the world are taking towards consolidation reflect that. Their corporate natures inevitably drive them towards consolidation as the only path to sustainable growth, but they can't shake the cultural need to find it in some innovative way no one else could pull off. They're too young, too arrogant, and still too idealistic to truly embrace telecom-style cynicism.
So no matter what the rest of the world says, irritating Valley idealists — keep fighting the good fight. Ride your scooters and drink your microbrews and wear your dorky internet glasses, and do what you think is right. Because an internet without the goofy startups we love to mock is most likely an internet run by Comcast, where the end goal is a field of human batteries like in "The Matrix", all hooked up to "Xfinity", watching low-budget NBC talent shows on-demand for eternity.

Lovely obituary Louise.ReplyDelete
Ian, you will be missed. I'm happy that you liked the music video that I made for your song on Youtube. THE SPICE MUST FLOW!ReplyDelete
You have left us but your music will continue on….
nice obituary, thatReplyDelete
Very Sad News. A unique contributor.ReplyDelete
So sorry to hear of his passing - Eon Spice for ever.ReplyDelete
Growing up in America, a good distance away from where Ian's gems were created, I first heard them at a warehouse rave, and immediately fell in love with the sound, it's style and it's obvious craftsmanship. Whomever created "Spice" had their finger on the pulse, I thought. I've collected everything I could find of Ian's, and will track down anything else I'm missing. Upon hearing the news of Ian's passing, I froze. Ian's music was, and will always be, a humongous part of me. I wish I had been able to meet him, and actually tried to find him when I was in London in 2000, if for no other reason to meet the man who got me writing my own music, and to say "Thank you." I've been a DJ for years, and I've wanted to give back to the community that gave me so much as a raver back in the day. Ian, the man, his music, and his spirit lives within anyone who heard his creations, nay MASTERPIECES. I miss him terribly, and would like to extend my condolences to his immediate family and friends. I too, share in your loss. Please feel free to e-mail me at: email@example.com
Brian K. James
So smyad to hear of Ian's passing. His music as Eon was and still is a big part of my life. His music reverberated through many warehouses in Los Angeles back in the day. Thank you for being a part of every party. You will be missed.ReplyDelete
very sad to hear of this news.ReplyDelete
Eon,especially, was a milestone in my musical upbringing, having got into electronic music mainly through pirate radio.
R.I.P Ian, and thanks for your grooviness and love of sci-fi - 'He who controls the Spice controls the universe !
- Richard (London) x
A bit late upon hearing this news but I seem to recall meeting Ian @ Sin / Astoria a good few years ago.. Still got my copy of the EON LP and it's still sounding phat ! RIP and thanks to Lou for this page..ReplyDelete
Tragic, only heard the news when listening to some of his gems on you-tube,ReplyDelete
electronic pioneer
you will be sadly missed ian, eon the spice must flow,was a classic up north were we used to play, it took me to another world, hearing that permissive beat with the samples from dune, it will live on , as an alltime favourite of mine and many others ,peace to your family mate, go play those decks in the sky!peace steve phillipsReplyDelete
I'm gutted upon looking up Spice on YouTube to hear of the passing of Ian B (as he was to me). Spice was, and remains, a seminal piece of music for myself and my mum and dad. We put together the ZEN raves at the Slough Centre back in 89-91 and Spice was a favourite, one of a number of so special and unique tunes wobbling our massive bass bins back then. Nights and music that were so special to us. My father and I had the pleasure of bumping in to him one night in 1990 when he was spinning at the Fridge, where I was taken aback and pleasantly surprised that the creator of such a massive monster of a tune was such a jolly fellow, kissing me on the cheek after our chat before his set! I'm sure he's missed by many. Spice will always be one of those tunes that transports my peeps back to the most memorable time of our lives. And though I didn't know him personally I feel very sad that the genius, and I mean that, behind this tune is gone. But not forgotten. Love to all that knew him. From Chris Natural and the ZEN family.ReplyDelete
Spice changed everything for me, it was the step into producing more music to the present day label owner... to this day SPICE is and will be all that moved the masses in different locations to a new era in music! I know it sparked something in my head that would never die out. Thank you Ian your work will leave many seeking your name for a long time. Good Job you did your part... R.I.P bro' man!ReplyDelete
I only now learned of his passing. I had played the Spice song only just right around that time, just before this posting for some, perhaps, not-so-odd reason. That goes down as one of my favorite electronic songs of all time, inspiring me as much as any other in existence. Thank you for having posted these details about him I hadn't seen elsewhere. I hope to bump into him when it's my time.ReplyDelete
Whew. I met Eon during a visit to the west coast many years back (80? 81?) and we were very good friends, his ideas on music and society were important to me and helped form my own approach to electronic music. He asked me to design a cassette cover which I did under the name "Juadai Levi" and I still have the cover, the tape was eaten , unfortunately. Eugene, Oregon was almost glowing with energy and Ian's personal fire was intense. The local music scene associated drum machines and synths to be disco or something and denied us any chance to perform together. His cassette was finished and remixed, the music was not really dance music but electronic. We lost touch after a while (Family health issues here) and he returned to the U.K. I was amazed to see the first CD come out and tried to establish contact but was unable to do so. It was really strange to hear his ideas about music and later see that he sincerely meant what he said. Disco was dead less than 5 years in the USA at that time and what we were trying to do separately and together musically was fresh. I eventually forgot about being heard and raised my family and listened to Eon and felt really great about his success.ReplyDelete
His influence on me is not easy to describe , but is quite real. His energy was positive and his delivery powerful. Thanks Ian for showing me that dreams can be real. I am once again doing music and I respect the effort it took for him to "go for it" and be what I consider him to be, a pioneer in Electronica.

A statement, written and signed by a testator in the margin of his will beneath his signature thereon with the intention of revoking the will, "Voided by later will executed" on a certain date, did not effect a "cancelling" of the will within G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 191, Section 8.
PETITION, filed in the Probate Court for the county of Barnstable on November 10, 1943, for proof of the will of Robert I. Eads.
At a hearing by Campbell, J., "all persons" assented to, and "no party" objected to the allowance of the petition. The judge, however, found that "the instrument had been cancelled by the testator as indicated in his own handwriting on its margin," and disallowed the will. The petitioner appealed.
L. D. Yont, for the petitioner.
J. F. Handy, for the respondent.
SPALDING, J. This is an appeal from a decree of the Probate Court of Barnstable County disallowing an instrument purporting to be the will of Robert I. Eads, late of
Page 233
Bourne, who died on October 28, 1943. No contention is made that the instrument, which was dated November 19, 1941, was not executed in accordance with law. The only question for decision is whether it had been revoked.
The evidence is not reported but the judge made a report of the material facts found by him pursuant to G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 215, Section 11. The facts pertinent to this appeal which were found by the judge are these. In the margin of the instrument beneath the testator's signature there appeared the following notation: "Voided by later will date executed May 27 -- 1943 Robert I. Eads." [Note 1] The marginal notation, quoted above, was in the handwriting of the testator and was made with the intention of cancelling and revoking the will. No other will was ever found. The judge held that this constituted a revocation.
A will can be revoked only in the manner prescribed by G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 191, Section 8, which reads: "No will shall be revoked except by burning, tearing, cancelling or obliterating it with the intention of revoking it, by the testator himself or by a person in his presence and by his direction; or by some other writing signed, attested and subscribed in the same manner as a will; or by subsequent changes in the condition or circumstances of the testator from which a revocation is implied by law." The only part of the statute that could possibly apply here is the first clause which provides for revocation "by burning, tearing, cancelling or obliterating . . . [the will] with the intention of revoking it, by the testator himself or by a person in his presence and by his direction." [Note 2] Of the four methods mentioned in this clause "cancelling" is the only one that need concern us. To revoke in this manner there must be a cancelling coupled with an intent to revoke. Worcester Bank & Trust
Page 234
Co. v. Ellis, 292 Mass. 88, 93. Since the trial judge has found that the notation was placed on the will by the testator with the intention of revoking it, the only question remaining is whether it constituted a cancellation.
An examination of the decisions in this Commonwealth discloses that in every case where it has been held that there was a revocation of a will by cancellation there has been some defacement of the words of the will. Bigelow v. Gillott, 123 Mass. 102 (lines drawn through two clauses of the will). Sanderson v. Norcross, 242 Mass. 43 (signature of testator scratched out and lines drawn through the names of witnesses). Worcester Bank & Trust Co. v. Ellis, 292 Mass. 88 (several clauses of will crossed out). Batt v. Vittum, 307 Mass. 488 (lines drawn through several clauses of will). We have not discovered any decision of this court where it has been held that a will may be cancelled by a writing, such as that under consideration, that does not touch the original words of the will. There is, however, a dictum in Sanderson v. Norcross, 242 Mass. 43, 45, that such a writing would not constitute a cancellation. In that case, as indicated above, the testator scratched out his signature and drew lines through the signatures of the witnesses; he also wrote on the margin of the will the following: "This will is void as I have made a later one -- Otis L. Norcross." Rugg, C.J., said at pages 44-45: "The scratching out of the signature of the deceased and the drawing of the lines through those of the witnesses constitute a cancellation. The sentence written and signed on the margin but without witnesses would not constitute a revocation."
The decisions in other jurisdictions having statutes similar to ours are not uniform on this question. It has been held by some courts that a writing on a will similar to that in question constitutes a cancellation although none of the words of the will is defaced. Warner v. Warner's Estate, 37 Vt. 356. Evans's Appeal, 58 Penn. St. 238. But the prevailing view requires some defacement of the words of the will. Dowling v. Gilliland, 286 Ill. 530. Thompson v. Royall, 163 Va. 492. Matter of Akers, 74 App. Div. (N. Y.) 461. Will of Ladd, 60 Wis. 187. Howard v. Hunter, 115 Ga. 357.
Page 235
We think this is the sounder rule, and, applying it to the case at bar, there was no "cancelling" within the meaning of the statute. Failing as a cancellation, the writing had no revocatory effect because it was not "signed, attested and subscribed in the same manner as a will" as required by the statute. Sanderson v. Norcross, 242 Mass. 43, 45. See also Giles v. Giles, 204 Mass. 383.
It follows that the decree entered in the court below must be reversed and a decree is to be entered allowing the instrument presented for probate.
So ordered.
[Note 1] Through this writing were drawn three perpendicular lines. The trial judge in his findings stated, "No evidence was presented as to who drew the lines through the notation written on the margin of this will. I am not able to draw any inferences when these lines were drawn . . ..
[Note 2] As was pointed out in Worcester Bank & Trust Co. v. Ellis, 292 Mass. 88, 91, this phrase can be traced back in our statutes to Rev. Sts. (1836) c. 62, Section 9, St. 1783, c. 24, Section 2, and St. 1692-3, c. 15, Section 4. The last cited section formed a part of the statute of frauds, and was copied from the English statute of frauds, 29 Car. II, c. 3, Section 6.

Baby's First Pasta
I got brave and decided that today would be the day that I made Griffin his first bowl of pasta. My son is 9 months old and doesn't even have any teeth yet, poor guy! He's been doing well with all of the thicker purees, and is a whiz at chomping on soft cheeses so I figured, why not! After all, a boy cannot live on sweet potato mash alone. A growing boy needs some variety! And by variety I mean PASTA (I am an Italian girl from Brooklyn, after all).
This recipe is our family recipe for Baby's First Pasta. It's barely even a recipe but my Grandma and my Mama served it to me, and now I am serving it to my little boy. Heck, I still enjoy it today and bet your family will too. It's made with Pastina (tiny cylindrical or start shaped pasta that is perfect for babies with little or no teeth). The only Pastina that my local store had was a little bigger than what I am used to and Griffin was definitely shocked by this new texture. After a few spoonfuls, he was chompin' like a pro.
** Full Disclosure: I made a double serving of this, added some salt to my portion and ate it right along side my boy. Delicious!
Baby's First Pasta
8 months and up
Makes 2 servings (depends on how big of an eater your baby is)
1 cup organic Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1/2 cup Pastina
2 teaspoon, freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
2 teaspoon, organic parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoon of whole milk ricotta cheese (optional)
Heat chicken broth in a small saucepan over medium high heat until boiling. Stir in pasta and allow to cook until pasta is very soft, about 10 minutes (baby can be introduced to al dente another time but for now the softer the better).
TIP: Add more water to the pasta if the water evaporates too quickly and the past still seems too hard.
Remove the pasta from the heat and allow to cool.
Divide the pasta into 2 bowls (or pack the other half in a container for lunch the next day). Stir in the parsley and sprinkle Parmigiano Reggiano over top. Serve with 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese (this is optional but my boy loves his cheese and you can stir it into the pasta to add a nice creaminess which babies and parents seem to love).

We also went to Cardiff Castle
On our last day the sun came out, so we went along the coast a bit to Penarth, which has a lovely Victorian pier.
We then went further along the coast to a medieval village, where Merlin was filmed - it was closed for refurbishment. Seemed to be a recurring theme of the week.
We did enjoy our week and might just have to go back sometime to see the Doctor!

Hawaii is widely acknowledged as paradise. And of course it's beautiful. It's fantastically beautiful and fantastically strange. I arrived here with the generic Hawaii expectations: Hula girls, ukuleles, beaches, drinks with little umbrellas in them. But I also arrived with my bad attitude and reluctance to give even a rat's ass about any of it, and my resolve to instead focus on how my plans had been so royally screwed up. Which facilitated the expansion of my bad attitude into a really bad attitude. The heat. The distance. The expense. The inconvenience. The delicious Brontean misery of grief.
I read Unbroken and fell in love with Louis Zamperini. I also fell in love with his family. Any mother who has to sit in front of the door with a rolling pin to keep her TODDLER from escaping (again) gets all kinds of love from me. Louis was stationed here on Oahu for a time right before he left on that doomed flight. Driving around this island, especially on overcast days when the little bits of sunlight hit the darkening palm trees bending in the wind as they wait for rain, I think about him a lot. He drifted on the Pacific Ocean for 47 days. Forty-seven days of sun scorching, shark fighting, bullet dodging, storm weathering, starvation and fear with very little hope to cling to. Yet at a certain point, the starvation gave him clarity. Immediately after being "rescued" he was imprisoned in a Japanese POW camp. Beaten, further starved, humiliated, and demoralized, Laura Hillenbrand says, "he missed the raft." Reading those four words took my breath away.
The raft was too small for 3 grown men. It was not where he intended to be. It was not comfortable. It was not even safe. But it is what saved him and his friend. I am definitely not starving, (I'm totally eating the last gingerbread man cookie that I'd frozen from Christmas. No shame. I've also eaten 5 of his brethren before him. That's 6 gingerbread men. After my salad lunch…) but I have had some clarity during this last year.
Saying that I can accept unflattering revelations on my person gracefully and with the appropriate measure of reflection and repentance is like saying I will not be consumed by full body-wracking sobs while watching any given episode of Call the Midwife. 'Tis a lie, Precious.
I listen to the radio on the traffic trek to school each day. I've heard it said that you know you're in love when all the songs make sense. Since moving here, all the songs have made sense. But not because I love the island. I listen to Jesus music. At first it was because I wanted those songs stuck in my kids' head. I hear them singing to themselves, "There's a war between guilt and grace/ And they're fighting for a sacred space/ But I'm living proof: grace wins every time," instead of, "Baby, baby, baby, oooh/ Like baby, baby, baby, baby, noo/ Like baby, baby, baby, baby oooh/ I thought you'd always be mine" and I feel like a good parent. But the songs also get stuck in MY head. Which is useful for the other 12 hours of the day when I am not such a great parent…
We have our new assignment and it is to a location that was neither on our list of acceptable choices nor anywhere remotely close to our family. This, after we had convinced ourselves, due to the logical evidence and information we were given, that we would actually get what we wanted this time. And by "we" I of course mean ME. I would get what I wanted.
I blame the raft.
For the first year we were here, all the songs seemed to be about oceans and waves and having faith in the midst of doubt. The second year all I heard was God is FOR us, not against us, being brave, and fighting the good fight. Now all the songs are saying: Trust.
Death and grief have touched me and those around me more since moving here than during 3 deployments. Friends' husbands, friends' babies, friends' parents, friends themselves. Easter was very poignant for me this year. I will see those friends again. My friends will see their babies again. I will meet my other babies. We have this hope. This trust.
I can trust all over the place about the afterlife. It's the life part that I seem to have trouble with.
In the beginning, I may or may not have indicated that I did not wish to live in Hawaii. It was subtle, you may have missed it, but I didn't really want to move here 3 years ago. Now that it's time for me to leave, I find myself randomly tearing up as I run errands or sit in traffic. I will miss the people I've come to love so much here. My friends. My kids' friends. The ladies in the post office who are always so nice to me. Our little 15 mile radius life that has been so sweet and difficult and funny and stressful and exciting and sad and rich and worrisome and good. There are many many parts that I wish never happened. But truthfully, I think I needed to be here and those things needed to happen to me for one reason or another.
It's been almost a full year since my online business venture and I've been ridiculously blessed by it. I started out just wanting to earn enough to buy this Hawaiian bracelet.
I had enough by the fourth month, so I just kept going to see what would happen. And what happened was a completely unexpected joy and deep satisfaction. Ho'omana'o means "Remember." And while there is so much that I would rather forget, I don't want to ever forget that God's plan is good–even when the way it plays out is not.
Aloha means hello, goodbye, and love. Aloha means everything. So. Aloha, Hawaii.
I'm thinking I might even miss the raft.

No, it's quite wrong! Both of these options are to be specified when you run GCC, IF your libraries (-L) and/or their headers (-I) do not already lie in the appropriate GCC search paths. The correct way is, (with c:/mingw representing the root of the installation tree; choose an alternative, if you prefer): $ ./configure --prefix=c:/mingw (or better still, create a separate build subdirectory, make it current working directory, and run the above command as): $ ../configure --prefix=c:/mingw then: $ make $ make install However, you may need to ensure that all necessary installation directories already exist, before you run 'make install', since your makefile apparently doesn't fulfil its obligations in that respect. -- Regards, Keith.

Effect of different incision sites of phacoemulsification on trabeculectomy bleb function
Poster Details
First Author: M. Anbar EGYPT
Co Author(s): H. Ammar
Abstract Details
The aim of this study was to compare superior and temporal clear corneal incisions of uneventful phacoemulsification and in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation on intraocular pressure control and the bleb morphology in eyes that have undergone previous successful trabeculectomy.
Sohag University Hospital
In this Prospective case-control study, a total of 100 eyes of 100 patients underwent previous successful trabeculectomy without antimetabolites, divided into two groups. Group A (temporal group) including 50 patients underwent phacoemulsification with a temporal corneal incision and group B (superior group) including 50 patients underwent phacoemulsification with a superior corneal incision. Comparisons between the two groups were performed after one year of follow-up regarding Intraocular pressure changes, bleb morphology score using the Wuerzburg bleb classification score and any added glaucoma medications.
At the last visit, the mean intraocular pressure for the temporal group was 17.55±1.47 (p=0.51) and for the superior group was 16.90±1.71 (p= 0.85); the difference between the two groups was insignificant (p=0.21). Regarding the bleb morphology, the mean bleb morphology score in the temporal group was 10.50±0.95 (p=0.19) and for the superior group was 10.20±1.06 (p= 0.01).There was an insignificant difference in the bleb grading morphology regarding both groups (p=0.35).
Our study demonstrates that phacoemulsification whether done with a clear temporal or clear superior wound, does not affect intraocular pressure, bleb morphology or function after one year of follow-up in eyes following previous successful trabeculectomy. Furthermore, cataract surgery may be performed safely in eyes with functioning filtering blebs.

|British Dispatches
Monday, February 23, 2004
( 11:43 PM ) Spengy
Four youths from Canberra, Australia pulled off a trick of breathtaking bravado in order to gain revenge on a mobile speed camera van operating in the area.
Three of the group approached the van and distracted the operator's attention by asking a series of questions about how the equipment worked and how many cars the operator could catch in a day. Meanwhile, the fourth musketeer sneaked to the front of the van and unscrewed its numberplate. After bidding the van operator goodbye, the friends returned home, fixed the number plate to their car and drove through the camera's radar at high speed - 17 times. As a result, the automated billing system issued 17 speeding tickets to itself.
Go Aussies!!

Scene: Crowded tube carriage in centre of London at the peak of the morning rush hour
Spengy: You stuck-up pushy bitch.
Commuter: [Voice-over to indicate internal thoughts] I may not get on therefore I am entitled to push past you to get on the crowded train before you. When you push on behind me to take the place that was rightfully yours I will huff loudly and say "There is another train coming along in 3 minutes so there is no need to push". You have no right to say what you said to me.
I fucking hate the tubes in rush hour. You can forget about that bullshit that the British know how to queue properly.

I have been remiss and slack. I may not be the bookworm that others are (I confess I have a TV that seems to suck me into the couch most evenings) but I have been reading. I have not, however been posting my reviews at the completion of each book. Hence a back-log. Hence this post;
Lake Wobegon Days - Garrison Keillor
A great book. Stories about life in a small town. It doesn't flow as a narrative. Each chapter could be read as a separate short story but there is enough to glue them together. This book had me laughing out loud on the tube. I have been aware of this book for years but never got around to reading it until now. What a waste, this is a gem.
The Christmas Mystery - Jostein Gaarder
A Christmas book to be read a chapter a day from the 1st until the 24th of December. Just like an advent calendar, which is what the book is about. Cute concept. I reckon this is something to read to kids not for yourself. It is pretentious pseudo-philosophy for the masses. A bit like Jonathan Livingston Seagull. You know what I mean - profound when you read it at 14 but see it for the crap that it is now.
Bravo Two Zero - Andy McNab
Trash. Utter rubbish. Completely mindless and therefore a great Christmas holiday read. Couldn't put it down.
An Artist of the Floating World - Kazuo Ishiguro
Lovely. Not a word wasted, refined, sparse and polished. No espionage, no thrills, no action, just the recollections of an old Japanese artist whose career spanned the rise of Japanese imperialism and WW2. Remains of the Day has been added to my must read pile by the bed.
The Plague - Albert Camus
Whoa - not an easy book. You have to concentrate constantly to get the most out of it;
At that moment he knew what his mother was thinking, and that she loved him. But he knew, too, that to love someone means relatively little; or, rather, that love is never strong enough to find the words befitting it. Thus he and his mother would always love each other silently. And one day she - or he - would die, without ever, all their lives long, having gone farther than this by way of making their affection known. Thus, too, he had lived at Tarrou's side and Tarrou had died this evening without their friendship's having had time to enter fully into the life of either. Tarrou had 'lost the match', as he put it. But what had he, Rieux won? No more than the experience of having known plague and remembering it, of having known friendship and remembering it, of knowing affection and being destined one day to remember it. So all a man could win in the conflict between plague and life was knowledge and memories. But Tarrou, perhaps, would have called that winning the match. - A. Camus, The Plague (1947 translation 1948) 279.
But well worth the effort. Freaky looking cover that had people staring at me on the tube.

A Sunrise police officer was arrested Friday on domestic violence charges after police said she punched her estranged husband during an argument at Sawgrass Mills outlet mall.
Officer Devona Bruno, a five-year veteran who works as a role model for children in elementary schools, was booked into Broward County Jail on Friday night on simple battery charges.
According to a police report, Bruno is accused of striking her husband five times with a closed fist inside his office at the mall.
Her husband works in security, police said. He received a cut on his face and a bump on his head after Bruno allegedly struggled with him for the phone as he was trying to call police.
Brono took a vacation day Monday after being released from jail on bond Saturday, Sunrise police Lt. Charles Vitale said.

Shares of Cigna CI, -0.99% are sliding $3.24, or 6 percent, to a one-month low of $50.76 after UBS Warburg downgraded the insurer to "neutral" from "buy," and lowered its price target to $60 from $66, amid evidence that the company is "facing challenges" retaining some accounts. "In our recent survey of large employers, 28 percent of the Cigna clients in our survey indicated that they were planning to switch to a different vendor," Analyst William McKeever said in a note to clients. The stock was up as much as 2.3 percent in intraday trading Monday to a seven month high of $56.10, before closing down 3.7 percent at $54. Standard & Poor's had said Monday that U.S. health insurers face a "menacing array of long-term pressures" that keep the companies from receiving "positive" debt rating outlooks.

Cliffs Natural Resources Earnings Call Insights: Bloom Lake and Terms of the Capital Structure
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (NYSE:CLF) recently reported its fourth quarter earnings and discussed the following topics in its earnings conference call.
Bloom Lake
Mitesh Thakkar – FBR: My first question is just on Bloom Lake. Can you help us understand what has changed between the last quarter and this quarter that you have to increase the guidance range. Just a follow-up on that. If you're spending additional CapEx versus your previous guidance. Is that in some way going to help you bring Bloom Lake, up a little bit?
Joseph A. Carrabba – Chairman, President and CEO: Yes, Mitesh, from a cash costs increase from 60% to 70%. We are looking – for 2013 we are looking at 70% to 75% for Bloom Lake with $15 of additional items related to stripping, opening up the new pit and continued cost for tailings in managements to get us to the $85 range for $29. From a capital standpoint, we are looking at the preliminary numbers of 700 million to 800 million was early in our process. As you went through the detailed plan through the year end, we needed invest additional capital relating to tailings management and water management and that was driving the additional increase in capital.
Mitesh Thakkar – FBR: So, is it fair to say that you'll need to spend another $400 million or so in 2014 to get the Phase II up and running? And can you also explain us a little bit on the schedule of that?
Joseph A. Carrabba – Chairman, President and CEO: Mitesh, this is Joe. I can talk about that. The work that's continuing through this year is primarily around the in-pit crushing system, the conveyer belt to the plant and ore shed which again lowers cost as you might imagine versus trucking it into the facility as it goes in from there. It's also an expansion of the tailings and water management system that goes with it. We've taken a long-term view rather than build short-term sales, if you will, to preserve capital. We want to get that footprint out there, particularly all this is gearing up to get ready for Phase II. So that's where the bulk of the time and money will be spent this year. What we did stop was the concentrator and the load-out system from that. So, the next phase as we move into the new year, in 2014, will be essentially around those pieces, really executing mostly on getting the concentrator. The equipment is set for the most part. The mill is set. When we stopped them, we were still setting equipment and we were into the piping and starting with some of the wiring to go with it. So we need to complete the final stages of the concentrator and then build the load-out system the second load-out system for the rail facility. So that will come in the latter half. We could startup Phase II and get going on the ramp-up without the second load-out, so we'll build that as the last stage of the construction.
Terms of the Capital Structure
Timna Tanners – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: A lot to digest, so just want to ask a similar question, but more to the point of what happened in the last time we got an update from you to this time more and not in terms of Bloom Lake but in terms of the decision on in terms of the capital structure?
Terrance Paradie – SVP and CFO: Well, as we started looking at 2013 and looking at our balance sheet, we wanted to make sure that with volatile pricing environment that we have the financial flexibility and liquidity get through this cycle. So, with pricing and what happened in the third quarter through the fourth quarter to where we're today, you can see the volatility. So when we looked at our balance sheet and we looked at our growth platform, we said, we need to shore up our balance sheet, and therefore that's why we're looking at from a capital standpoint, we went through the amendment process and where we're at today.
Joseph A. Carrabba – Chairman, President and CEO: That's right. Timna, I'll just add. Probably what happened, the actual event that happened was in the third and fourth quarter when prices summed to below $100 for several weeks with that, and I think for most of the folks in the iron ore business, that did caused a time for pause and for people to reassess going forward on numerous projects. Where pricing was going to end up, nobody knew late in the third quarter or the fourth quarter, and we did exactly the same. That's when we took some pretty immediate action on shutting down Phase II, so we can preserve capital to see where the pricing was going to end up with, and then have a look at our balance sheet. So you got to think about this balance sheet work that we're doing right now as risk mitigation, not future forecasting of iron ore pricing. We're still bullish on the cycle. We do still think there'll be a lot of pricing volatility that we've seen given these new pricing regime that we're only in the second or third year and we just want to make sure that balance sheet is in shape to handle another one of these jolts if it were to occur.
Timna Tanners – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: That's helpful one to get your perspective. And then drilling down a little bit more on Eastern Canada, can you talk to us about Wabush and how you're looking at the future of Wabush, and then how long you think the discounting of the concentrate might have to continue, so that we can get a perspective on pricing more medium term.
Joseph A. Carrabba – Chairman, President and CEO: I think on Wabush we're looking at a number of operating strategies. I think as we've reported back with that we are starting to hone in on that as always it's as always just a trade-up of CapEx versus OpEx that goes with it. I do think with our – when we do look at the new Wabush, if you will, with that we've to reduce some CapEx pretty significantly for that facility, and we will probably be shrinking the footprint of Wabush. We should have that work completed this quarter and be able to get on with our operating we plan and be able to report back. On your reference to the discount at concentrator, I think that goes back to the Bloom Lake not the Wabush in such pellets. I think as we continue to move into the new markets as I discussed in my earlier comments, with that we are continuing to get test trials into the marketplace. We continue to diversify the product. And we will use the commercial tools that we need well into getting all of the product placed including going into the 14 million ton. So, it will come in a variety of ways to variety of different customers, where we are at with different stages of negotiation in trial.

An eighth person has been hospitalised in connection with Brisbane's Melbourne Cup salmonella outbreak, health officials say.
The latest victim of the health crisis, blamed on bad eggs used by a catering firm at hospitality events, was admitted to a city hospital on Thursday night.
The contamination has made more than 220 people ill and contributed to the death of a 77-year-old woman.
Three people have been released from hospital.
While the five in hospital aren't reported to be seriously ill, the health crisis is not over.
A Metro North Hospital and Health Services spokesman says more people are expected to seek medical treatment in the coming days.
Piccalilli Catering said on Thursday it was the company at the centre of the scare, blaming eggs used to make fresh mayonnaise for 40 Cup functions in the city last week.
It says it has since dumped the wholesaler that provided the eggs.
Health officials say up to 700 people could have been exposed to the bacteria and it urged people showing symptoms of the infection to seek medical attention.
Symptoms include fever, headache, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and last between four and seven days. Children and the elderly are most at risk.
