If there's ever a stronger case for monitoring your kid's device usage, look no further than the story of little Madison Kay, an 8-year-old from Maryland who unknowingly had a veritable shopping spree in Smurfs' Village on her mom's iPhone. According to the Washington Post, Madison accessed the incredibly popular game (which is a FREE download in iTunes, by the way) and merrily played as it is to be played, racking up quite a bill in the process - $1,400 to be exact.
The premise of the game is that you're helping build a village from the ground up and creating a nice place for the Smurfs to live. Kids love to accomplish things, so it makes sense that they would want their gardens to be lush and their houses to be homey. Where the trouble lies is when kids go into the Smurfberry shop and with a couple taps, spend $99.99 for a wagon of berries to help their crop reach its fullest potential. If your child somehow knows your password to break through that simple barrier, well, it's pretty easy to reach that $1,400 mark.
And why would a kids' game have such opportunity for little hands to wreak such financial havoc? Good question. I downloaded the game myself and although a pop-up appeared when I first loaded the game informing me that "Smurfberry" purchases would be charged to my iTunes account, I didn't see that message again after logging back in. It does appear in fine print at the "Store" page, but who reads the fine print of a smartphone game? An 8-year-old kid certainly doesn't.
Cases like these are cropping up all over the place – another story recently surfaced of a boy in the UK who accidentally charged £1,000 (US $1,600) to his mom's credit card through his Xbox Live console.
In the Washington Post article, Jim Styer, president of Common Sense Media, a national advocacy group dedicated to the safety of families in today's digital age, is quoted as saying,
"Parents need to know that the promotion of games and the delivery mechanism for them are deceptively cheap. But basically people are trying to make money off these apps, which is a huge problem, and only going to get bigger because mobile apps are the new platform for kids."
So, does the responsibility lie on the parents or on the game developers? Clearly, both. Parents need to be more mindful of what their kids are doing on these devices (and kids don't need to know your passwords), but developers need to also make it much harder for these types of occurrences to happen. Gaming is a big business and there's clearly a bottom line that these companies need to meet (or exceed), but using games that are targeted at little kids is not the way to do it.

Mass. man charged in crash that injured moped driver in Manchester
May 13. 2013 4:58PM
MANCHESTER - A hit-and-run accident at Bodwell Road and West Shore Avenue Friday night left a moped rider with an injured leg and a Mass. man under arrest, police said Monday.
Police said a 22-year-old man driving a moped south on Bodwell Road was struck by a car that was driving north on Bodwell Road as it turned onto West Shore Avenue about 10:50 p.m. The car continued down West Shore Avenue, police said.
Police officers later located a vehicle, a 2000 Cadillac Deville, at a Fern Lane address, and identified the alleged driver as Eric Imbornone, 22, of 5 Tamarac St., Billerica, Mass. Police arrested Imbornone and charged him with felony conduct after an accident.
The unidentified moped driver was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Russia Wants To Ban Children From Using WiFi
from the with-liability-on-the-wifi-owner dept
The Communications and Press Ministry has proposed banning children from using Wi-Fi networks in public, potentially making cafes, restaurants and other locations providing the service responsible for enforcing the law.Why? For the children, of course! They claim it's related to Russia's new internet censorship law, which they're afraid will be circumvented by kids at the local coffee shop or restaurant. Not surprisingly, various places that offer WiFi are not happy about this, pointing out that they have no way of making sure that teens don't get on their WiFi. That doesn't seem likely to stop moralizing bureaucrats (with a healthy appreciation for the ability to censor) from moving forward with this plan.

November 21, 2012 06:32 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 21, 2012) - Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are home to the highest levels of economic freedom among Arab nations, according to the annual Economic Freedom of the Arab World report published by the Fraser Institute, Canada's leading public policy think-tank, in partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty (FNF) and the International Research Foundation (IRF) of Oman.
Bahrain, which ranked first last year, improved its overall score to 8.1 out of 10 from 8.0. The UAE also scored 8.1, tying with Bahrain after ranking second overall in 2011 with a score of 7.9. Jordan moved into the third spot from eighth overall, improving its score to 7.9 from 7.4 last year. The complete rankings are listed below.
The report was released in conjunction with the annual Economic Freedom of the Arab World meeting in Tunis. The meeting attracted delegates from nations throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
"Economic freedom is the key to increasing prosperity, creating jobs, and reducing poverty," said Fred McMahon, Dr. Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom and co-author of the Economic Freedom of the Arab World: 2012 Annual Report.
"In this way, economic freedom liberates people from government dependence and opens the door to democracy and other freedoms. The Arab Spring showed us that the region craves economic freedom."
The Economic Freedom of the Arab World report compares and ranks Arab nations in five areas of economic freedom: size of government, including expenditures, taxes, and enterprises; commercial and economic law and security of property rights; access to sound money; freedom to trade internationally; and regulation of credit, labour, and business. The complete report may be downloaded as a PDF, free of charge, at www.freetheworld.com.
Economic freedom is based on the cornerstones of personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to compete, and security of private property. Research shows that individuals living in countries with high levels of economic freedom enjoy higher levels of prosperity, greater individual freedoms, and longer life spans.
"Increases in economic freedom that are, in effect, a return to the classical Arab model of free trade and open markets would help generate the economic dynamism needed to create the jobs and prosperity that the region requires for a successful future," said Salem Ben Nasser Al Ismaily, the report's lead author, chairman of IRF, and a member of the Fraser Institute's board of directors.
The report is based on data from 2010 (the most recent year available) but also examines more recent data to mark out trends for individual nations. This is crucial since the key question in future years will be whether the changes underway result in greater economic freedom or whether economies in the region continue to stagnate.
Algeria, Mauritania, and Syria were again found to have the least economic freedom among Arab nations. These bottom-ranked countries score, on average, two points behind the nations with the highest levels of economic freedom, with Algeria at 5.7, up from 5.5 last year; Mauritania unchanged at 6.0; and Syria at 6.2, up from 5.9.
"The key challenge confronting governments of the Arab Spring countries is to meet the rising expectations of the people. Here, the Economic Freedom Report proposes a clear and proven recipe: policies that advance economic freedom will create growth, employment, and wealth for all," said Ronald Meinardus, regional director for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) at the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty in Cairo.
The report measures available data on economic freedom in 22 nations of the League of Arab States, but due to data limitations, calculations of the overall level of economic freedom are only available for 16 jurisdictions: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, and UAE. The rankings are entirely based on third-party data. The full data sets are available at www.freetheworld.com.
The report, which has been presented since 2005, is one of a number of regional reports based in part or in whole on the Fraser Institute's annual Economic Freedom of the World Report, which ranks the economic freedom levels of 144 countries.

LONGVIEW, TX (KLTV) - Two women who Katrina brought to East Texas are now reflecting on the storm, and their decision to stay here. The devastation that hurricane Katrina wrought on new Orleans sent thousands rushing to Texas for safety. Two of them - a mother and daughter came to East Texas.
"At first we decide that we wasn't leaving, but then when the sheriff said we had to leave," says New Orleans native Emma Dufrene. "We had to go and we left with three outfits."
Dufrene and her daughter Beryl Shankle left everything they owned in homes that were wiped out, and found solace in their Texas neighbors.
"The first year was the roughest but it became easier," Beryl said.
Both have been back to see the devastation of their home town.
"We're very blessed because we got out," Emma said. "It's still not right. It's still not new Orleans like it should be. I miss it, I miss all my friends and family. I feel it was real terrible that the poor people suffered and had to go through all they did."
Coming to Texas probably saved Dufrene's life. She was diagnosed with cancer a few months later and had life-saving surgery. They live next door to each other and feel they were meant to end up in Texas.
"We feel God wanted us here, that's why we're here, that's why we decided to stay," said Emma.
Both mother and daughter see each other every day and say the only thing they miss now about their original home town is the food. But they say Texas cooking is alright with them.

North Korea reportedly fires 2 short-range projectiles into water
SEOUL, South Korea – A news report says that North Korea has fired two short-range projectiles into waters off its east coast.
Yonhap news agency says the launches happened Wednesday but gave no details. South Korea's Defense Ministry couldn't immediately confirm the reported launches.
The firing came a day after South Korea rejected North Korean proposals to reduce tensions, including the cancellation of annual South Korean military drills with the U.S.
South Korean officials say North Korea launched short-range projectiles and missiles into waters off its east coast on Thursday and Sunday.
Animosity on the Korean Peninsula remains high following a slew of missile and rocket tests by North Korea and its resumption of harsh rhetoric earlier this year. The two Koreas also earlier exchanged artillery fire along a disputed western sea boundary.

Thor Industries Reaches Settlement With SEC
May 13, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Thor Industries Reaches Settlement With SEC
Thor Industries Inc., the biggest U.S. maker of recreational vehicles, agreed to pay $1 million to settle a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit claiming one of its executives underreported company costs.
As reported by Bloomberg, the proposed settlement was filed in federal court in Washington yesterday (May 12) along with a complaint that alleges Mark Schwartzhoff, the vice president of finance at Thor's Dutchmen Manufacturing Inc., "engaged in a fraudulent accounting scheme to understate Dutchmen's cost of goods sold."
Schwartzhoff overstated Dutchmen's pretax income by almost $27 million from fiscal year 2003 to the second quarter of fiscal 2007, according to the SEC. The executive, who was fired in 2007, agreed to pay almost $400,000 in penalties, according to court filings.
"Thor's failure to maintain accurate books and records and adequate internal accounting controls violated a 1999 commission cease-and-desist-order," the SEC in said court papers, referring to similar misconduct at a different Thor unit.
Without admitting or denying the allegations, Thor Industries agreed to hire an SEC-approved independent consultant to evaluate its internal accounting controls at its headquarters in Jackson Center, Ohio, and at its other units. The agreement requires court approval.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Orthwein didn't immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
The case is SEC v. Thor Industries, 11-cv-00889, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

Kegel exercises for men — Follow these tips to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
Think Kegel exercises are just for women? Think again.
Kegel exercises for men can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and bowel and affect sexual function. With practice, Kegel exercises for men can be done discreetly just about anytime — whether you''re relaxing on the couch or driving your car.
Before you start doing Kegel exercises, find out how to locate the correct muscles and understand the proper technique.
Many factors can weaken your pelvic floor muscles, including the surgical removal of the prostate (radical prostatectomy) and conditions such as diabetes and overactive bladder.
You might benefit from doing Kegel exercises if you:
Some studies suggest that Kegel exercises for men might also benefit some men who have erectile dysfunction. However, further research is needed.
It takes diligence to identify your pelvic floor muscles and understand how to contract and relax them. Here are some pointers:
Make Kegel exercises part of your daily routine. For example:
If you''re having trouble doing Kegel exercises, don''t be embarrassed to ask for help. Your doctor or other health care provider can give you important feedback so that you learn to isolate and strengthen the correct muscles.
In some cases, biofeedback training might help. In a biofeedback session, your doctor or other health care provider inserts a small probe into your rectum. As you relax and contract your pelvic floor muscles, a monitor will measure and display your pelvic floor activity.
If you do your Kegel exercises regularly, you can expect results — such as less frequent urine leakage — within three to six weeks. For continued benefits, make Kegel exercises a permanent part of your daily routine.

We included the STN as a hidden node in the network, given our limited spatial resolution. In this way, we incorporated the influence of STN onto the network given its location within the circuit, without using the own region's measured BOLD signal ( Kahan et al. , 2014 ). We verified that addition of the STN as a hidden node did not critically influence our results, by repeating the analyses without the STN (i.e. by directly connecting the GPi to the GPe via an inhibitory connection). This gave the same results: the model where dopamine influenced the VIM was significantly stronger than all others (protected exceedance probability of >98%).
Head motion may be a major confound when comparing functional MRI data across sessions. However, head motion did not significantly differ between sessions, subjects did not abruptly move their heads during scanning, and we regressed out motion artefacts by including a global signal ( Power et al. , 2014 ) and an extensive set of movement parameters into our analysis ( Lund et al. , 2005 ). Thus, we are confident that our results are not biased by motion artefacts.
The nature of our study prevented us from using a group of healthy subjects as control group. However, our main aim was to test for the interaction between dopamine and tremor-related activity, and this interaction cannot be tested in subjects without tremor (i.e. healthy controls). A previous study has shown that tremor-related activity in Parkinson's disease patients is different from activity related to mimicked tremor in healthy subjects ( Muthuraman et al. , 2012 ). This difference may relate to the fact that resting tremor in Parkinson's disease is involuntary, whereas mimicked tremor is voluntary per definition. Furthermore, investigating what the influence of dopamine is on a voluntary-related tremor network in healthy, non-dopamine depleted subjects seems even more problematic.
The results of a DCM analysis depend explicitly upon the models evaluated. Here we contrasted different models where dopamine modulates a single node or a single effective connection. Thus, we tested where in the circuit dopamine has the largest effect, rather than exploring all possible modulations within our model.
The findings suggest that dopamine controls Parkinson's tremor by acting on the cerebellar thalamus (VIM) and on the pallidum. We propose that dopamine suppresses resting tremor by potentiating thalamic inhibition, thereby preventing tremor amplification in this region. This contradicts the hypothesis that tremor is caused by thalamic hyperpolarization, i.e. increased inhibition. We propose that patients with a relatively dopamine-resistant tremor have impaired dopaminergic control over the thalamus, possibly due to changes in other neurotransmitter systems.

Brad Marchand scored 21 goals as a rookie in the regular season last year, and added 11 more in the run to the Stanley Cup championship.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that when he's in a media environment, general manager Peter Chiarelli is going to be asked about the status of negotiations with Marchand's agent.
Marchand is a restricted free agent.
During a conference call to announce the contract extension for Adam McQuaid today, Chiarelli seemed exhausted over having to answer a question about Marchand for the second time in four days.
"I'm just not going to comment every time I go to the media," Chiarelli said. "There's been discussions. We feel there's been progress, and that's where I'll leave it."
With the exception of Phil Kessel, the Bruins have never endured a holdout or forced-trade situation with a restricted free agent during Chiarelli's reign, so right now there shouldn't be too much worry that Marchand might take his trash talk, hand gestures and scoring touch elsewhere.

Magnets, sensors create paths for automated guided vehicles
Application Update: An automated guided vehicle (AGV) can be built with as little as two components: a magnetic guide sensor and a dual-channel motor controller.
An automated guided vehicle (AGV) can be built with as little as two components: a magnetic guide sensor and a dual-channel motor controller. The AGV will follow a track made of an adhesive magnetic tape affixed on the floor. The magnetic sensor will measure how far from the center of the tape it is and provide the information to the motor controller, which will then adjust the steering so the vehicle remains at the center of the track.
Magnetic markers positioned on the left and right side of the track give the AGV location information that will be used to make stop and fork left/right decisions.
Magnetic track guiding
Magnetic tapes are one of several line-following techniques. The other two main techniques are induction wire guide and optical. A table compares each of these techniques.
Automated guided vehicles table: Tracking comparison
Chassis design
When designing the vehicle, there are four basic ways of providing drive and steering, shown in the diagrams. Some types are easier to build; others have better steering characteristics. Two of these designs are fully symmetrical and may be operated in both directions. The chassis design table lists the characteristics of each design.
Automated guided vehicles table: Chassis design
Sensor mount
The sensor should be placed as shown in the above diagrams for each chassis design. For the first two chassis types, the sensor must be placed near the front edge of the chassis. On long AGVs, this means that a little steering will cause a wide swing at the front and will make the steering control more difficult.
On the steerable drive wheel design, the sensor can be placed on the chassis. Or it may be made part of the wheel assembly and turn with it.
For best results, place the sensor at 30 mm above the floor and ensure that the height fluctuates within +/-10 mm at most as the AGV moves along the track.
Sensor-motor controller interface
The MGS1600C has several output types. Features and typical uses are shown in the sensor attributes table.
Automated guided vehicles: Sensor attributes table
In the MutliPWM mode, the sensor data is output on one wire in a series of variable width pulses, containing the track detect signal, track position, and left and right marker detect signals. This pulse can be connected to any of the Roboteq motor controller's pulse inputs. Once the pulse input is configured as "Magsensor," the sensor information is transferred transparently and continuously to the motor controller, from where it can be processed using the MicroBasic scripting language, or accessed by an external computer or PLC via the controller's serial or USB port.
Electrical wiring
The wiring diagram shows the magnetic guide sensor and motor controller in a typical four-wheel-drive chassis. This diagram is applicable to all Roboteq dual-channel brushed motor controllers.
A figure shows the controller's connector details. This wiring is compatible with all Roboteq controllers equipped with a 15-pin DSub connector. The sensor and button can be connected to any other pulse and digital inputs. Refer to the product datasheet for the list of available signals and pin outs. The pulse output is on the blue wire of the sensor cable.
Configuration, testing
The sensor and controller must be configured so that they will each function as desired, and communicate with each other.
The sensor is configured by default to output MultiPWM pulse and therefore can be used without further configuration if the track is made of Roboteq-supplied 25 mm magnetic tape. Once powered, the Tape Detect LED will flash at a low rate if no tape is present. When tape is in range, the LED will be on steady, and its color will change when the tape is at the right or left.
For configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, connect the sensor to the PC via the USB connector located under the screw plug. Run the Magsensor PC utility to change the tape width if using a 50 mm tape, or use the waveform display view to monitor the shape of the magnetic field.
With no tape present, the PC utility must show a nearly flat line. For best results, always perform a zero calibration when operating the sensor in a new environment.
Moving a tape under the sensor will cause a "bell" curve to appear on the chart. The curve must be on the positive (up) direction. If the curve is going down, change the Tape Polarity setting in the configuration menu. Makers will also cause a bell curve, but the curve should be going down. A screenshot shows the resulting curve when placing a left marker and a centered track.
Motor controller configuration
To receive and recognize data from the sensor, the controller must first be connected to a PC running the Roborun+ PC utility. In the configuration menu, the pulse input that is connected to the sensor must be enabled and configured as "Magsensor."
Next, the controller must be configured to operate in mixed mode so that the steering command will apply a different amount of power to the left and right motor for making turns.
Magsensor to controller
When the sensor and the motor controller are connected to each other using the single wire and MutiPWM mode, the sensor data are transferred periodically, and in the background, into the motor controller from which they can be accessed and used.
An additional set of queries is available for reading this information from the motor controller. The queries can be sent either from the motor controller's serial port, or from within a MicroBasic script running in the motor controller. (See the query set table.)

STOCKTON - As expected, several proposed revisions to the city's charter will be put to a vote of the community in the November election.
STOCKTON - As expected, several proposed revisions to the city's charter will be put to a vote of the community in the November election.
But the process of revising the document that serves as the city's constitution is only beginning. In two years, voters may be asked to consider making a change to the method by which the City Council is elected.
Tuesday night, though, was focused almost entirely on this year's election. The council voted 5-1 to follow the recommendation of the city's staff and package a group of proposed revisions as a single item on the November ballot. Paul Canepa voted no, and Mayor Anthony Silva was absent because he is ill.
November's proposals are only the first phase in a three-step revision process. The next phase will include a debate over whether to give voters the chance to change the unusual and decades-old electoral process that forces Stockton council candidates to initially win election in their district, then run in a citywide race.
"That should not be on our books," Bobby Bivens, head of the local chapter of the NAACP, told the council Tuesday. "Stockton needs to be free of a document, of a law, that causes inequity." Critics such as Bivens argue that citywide voting deprives members of underserved communities the opportunity to elect their own representatives, and makes the cost of running a campaign too steep.
Vigorous arguments from both sides of the issue seem a certainty starting in 2015. But a proposal to ditch citywide voting, if it occurs at all, will not come before voters until 2016. By state law, charter changes can only go before voters in general elections.
The council did opt Tuesday to give voters the chance this fall to tidy up a variety of outdated provisions in the charter, including a requirement that applicants for city jobs provide their height and weight.
But voters this fall also will have to decide on some weightier charter proposals:
� Should a provision requiring the mayor be paid at least as much as the chairman of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors be removed?
� Should a provision be removed that deals with the selection of top officers in the Stockton Fire Department?
� Should a provision that governs the city manager's spending authority be removed?
The council decided Tuesday that all the items should be packaged in one ballot item in November, at a cost to the city of $75,000. Members of a commission reviewing the charter wanted the latter two items as separate measures on the ballot. That would have cost the city $225,000.
"I want the council to reflect on the nature of the commission, the diversity of the commission, and I would like the council to reflect on the recommendations we've made," said one of the members, Marcie Bayne.
But combining the proposed changes into one ballot item prevailed.
"We are not out of bankruptcy," Councilman Elbert Holman said. "We have some issues that still aren't resolved. I feel more comfortable being as frugal as we can."

How would Buddha vote?
We look at Buddha's teachings that we should all find our own personal truths and our own way of enlightenment. So, it seems he would answer "How do you feel about abortion?" with the answer: "No one should be able to tell a woman what she can or can't do with her body." It seems he would place medium importance on this. And so it goes through Politic-O-Matic's 19 questions. Non-intervention, non-judgment and a focus on one's personal search for truth with complete disregard for the world's conflicts would be our guide as we choose how Buddha would respond on issues such as abortion, gun control and the death penalty.

calvinist wrote:When I solve Calculus problems, language is minimal, whether in my head or externally. I simply work out the problem, it is thinking that is beyond words. I compose music. I've written string quartets, piano pieces, piano/string duets, and I write modern music in various genres. There is a lot of thinking involved in writing a piece of music, whether you believe it or not, and my mind becomes totally quiet as far as language goes. Language uses only one part of the brain. I can actually notice the difference of how my mind works when I'm working out my Calculus homework or composing music. It's not linguistic thinking. You may call doing Calculus and composing music "merely what the higher mammals have", but I disagree with that. And yes, writing music is full of empirical sense data. I listen and respond to different melodies and harmonies and make adjustments as I go along. All of this is done without words. According to you, it's also done without thinking.... it just happens somehow.
calvinist wrote:I feel that we're just going in circles, so I'm going to exit this discussion. I've been hoping that others would chime in and express their views/interpretations, but the back-and-forth between me and you without any progress either way is not healthy.
calvinist wrote:I want to clarify my view about God and "logic" very quickly. You may mock me as believing that Christianity is "irrational", but that's not my view. God is not irrational, he is extra-rational... beyond "logic" and "reasoning". I don't know what chapter/verse in the bible says that we must subject God to "logic" because he's so "logical". The bible calls him "wise", and says that he can't lie. "Logic" is a convention of human reasoning, and serves us well, but it's not a silver bullet that subjects all things under it's power, including God.
calvinist wrote:Also, comparing the Trinity to demon-possession???? I honestly don't know what to say to that. As if the Trinity is a multiple personality disorder??? Again....
calvinist wrote:ChristHaunted wrote:Dissociative Identity Disorder = more that one personality, and therefore, more than one person, and still one being.
Whoa, dude! Are you saying that a person with this disorder is really many individual people that will stand before God one day? It's really multiple people? So a person with such a disorder could rightly claim 4 or 5 votes in an election? non sequitur. It's one person, struggling with multiple identities. Claiming that it's really multiple people inside the one person is.... well....
Anyway, I'm out. Peace!

calvinist wrote:ChristHaunted, here is an article that I'd like for you to read if you have time: http://www3.dbu.edu/naugle/pdf/FridaySymposiumSp04/beyond_reason_theology.pdf It's about logic and its role in Christianity. Please read it with an open mind and let me know what you think.
If there is something, however, which can be identified as not being logical yet cannot be
identified as being illogical, then it likely transcends logic.
calvinist wrote:You're points about musical notes and mathematical symbols being "words" are exactly right. And I commend you for that insight, but you're assuming that when I write music I'm thinking in musical notes. I don't. I visualize the music in my mind, usually as textures and colors. I visualize it in my mind as various relationships and levels of tension. Words or any symbol are really inadequate to describe it. Much of my music is never put into standard notation. I record it myself and usually don't notate it. If I do notate it, it's a secondary task and I actually have to sit down and spend a lot of time figuring out which symbols are required to notate it. My point is that music notation is not music, it's just a convention for expressing music to others and for preserving ideas in a written form. When I look at a sheet of music, I don't know what the music sounds like just by looking at the sheet music. The symbols don't indicate the music to me, they just indicate the particular notes that I need to play. There isn't a direct correlation between music notation and music as there is in spoken language where we hear a word and instantly associate it with the idea. In music it takes years of practice to acquire that skill, which proves that the symbols are entirely secondary, and they are totally unnecessary for writing music. There are many people that write music and can't read music notation and don't even know the names of the notes.
calvinist wrote:As far as the Trinity is concerned, let me clarify my position. Your analogies are helpful and interesting. My point is that there is nothing in reality like the Trinity. It's not like water. Water can be in three forms, but the Trinity is not one God in three forms/modes, that was declared a heresy by the early church, it was called "Sabellianism." Also, one molecule of water can only be in one form at one time. All of the analogies used to illustrate the Trinity are of one of two kinds: part/whole or aspect/whole. The persons of the Trinity are not parts of a whole God, and they are not modes/aspects/ways of being( (liquid/gas/solid)/perspectives of the one God. The doctrine teaches that Jesus Christ is God, period. Not that he is just a person of God, or that he's a mode of God, but that he is God. Jesus is God, and another one is God, the Holy Spirit, and another one is God, the Father. There are three that are God, and there is one God. Not just three persons that add up to one God, but three that are God, and yet one God. I believe we should just leave it at that and not try to "prove" it by analogies.
calvinist wrote:I find it hard to believe that you really think that a person with an identity disorder has multiple human souls inside one body. So God creates say 4 or 5 humans souls and binds them into one body? So the person is really not a person, but a people. I'm one person and have many identities. I play different roles depending upon the genre of music I'm working with and even my voice/accent/style/personality changes to fit the music. There's only one soul in this body though. I think some of your views are a little mixed up, but then again, who am I to say?
calvinist wrote:The LNC is a useful tool, but it can be very deceptive at the same time. "Something cannot be both A and not-A." At one time I thought I could solve all the riddles of reality with this little tool... I've matured. The problem is that reality is hardly ever in such clearly delineated pieces. Things overlap, they intertwine. The world we live in isn't a collection of disparate pieces, rather all things are connected to other things through various relations which can make the LNC not as easy to use as it might seem at first glance. The LNC is useful in something like this: Either Jesus is God or he isn't. It works here because the terms Jesus and God have infinitely narrow definitions here. By Jesus is meant only one man, Jesus of Nazareth, and by God is meant only the God of Christianity, not just any "god". But check this out: A Ford Explorer is either a car or it isn't. In this case we have quite a dilemma. It all depends on how precisely we define the term "car". But relegating the word "car" to some technical description is unnatural. Probably half of native English speakers would gladly call it a "car". Others may say it's a "truck" and not a "car". Others may say it's a "truck", but also a "car", and so forth. Many logical arguments reduce to this type of thing. In the end we don't really learn anything about reality, rather we just learn precisely what the author means by his 'terms'. If we define a car as something different from a truck, and then we define an SUV as a type of truck, and then we define a Ford Explorer as an SUV, well then of course a Ford Explorer can't be a car. But all we did is build our own complex system of definitions that leads to the result. It's a form of circular reasoning. We could just as easily say that a choge is different from a blunkat, and then define a wukabid as a type of blunkat, and then define a Ford Explorer as a wukabid, and of course then a Ford Explorer can't be a choge. It has nothing to do with reality, it's just semantics. That's the problem with the LNC. Furthermore, I don't know why we should use Greek philosophy, or any philosophy for that matter, to inform our interpretation of the bible. (The LNC comes from Aristotle)
Oh, also, Kierkegaard is an example of both a philosopher and theologian who embraced contradiction. His book The Sickness unto Death is an amazingly brilliant examination of the fallen nature of man. It was a life-changing read for me.
IreneY wrote:OK new idea (trying to defuse a situation I'm partially to blame for). How about it being middle voice? What would be its meaning then at the time? I'm afraid I have no dictionaries of Koine Greek.
calvinist wrote:Jesus believed that Solomon was the greatest philosopher until himself. The scripture states that no man ever had as much wisdom, although Christ obviously would have trumped that. Aristotle was brilliant, Ive read many of his works, but I dont revere him at the level you do, he was a fallen man, and an unbeliever that knew not of the grace of God, Im very cautious about what I can learn from such men.
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
calvinist wrote:I think your view of reality is overly mechanical. You would reduce concepts like beauty to mathematics because it's so nice and rigorous? Music can convey beauty directly, math cannot, and pure math is much different from applying math to reality.
calvinist wrote:In reality, definite quantities cannot be found, things are blurry, although we can approximate things 'close enough' for our purposes.
calvinist wrote:I know you, I was you at one time. I thought everything could be packed into nice packages and the whole world could be seen as binary. Ive humbled myself since then, and Ive bowed my mind before the incomprehensible things... God, beauty, music, joy, glory, peace, hope, love. They do not accept quantitative examination, they are qualities. You may believd that your mind can reach to the heights and comprehend God, understanding all things with your mind, but I think the temptation to believe that goes back to the Garden of Eden, we all want to believe that our mind has godlike powers, we inherited that view.
calvinist wrote:I think we agree much more than we realize, I think some of our disagreement is purely 'semantics'. I agree with you that we should not describe Christianity or God as irrational or illogical; I might have been careless with my words before if I said something to that effect. The point that I wanted to make, and I think you'd agree with, is that there are things that lie beyond what the human mind can fully grasp. I'm not saying that we can't understand these things, or that they are illogical, but that we cannot fully analyze them into small pieces that we can totally grasp. I think that there are things that may appear to be contradictions from our vantage point but truly aren't. I would place the Trinity in this category, as well as the relationship between God's sovereign plan and our free-will. Basically, there is a limit to the human mind.

calvinist wrote:I know this has been inactive for some time but I wanted to chime in, so here's my two cents worth which is just my opinion.
The 'και's need to be looked at, as was mentioned earlier. 'Και' connects two units at the same level: words, phrases, or clauses. I understand it as two clauses. The 'και' before 'επιστευσαν' connects two separate clauses while the first 'και' connects the two verb phrases "εχαιρον" and "εδοξαζον".
As far as causality is concerned in the second clause, that cannot be determined by an analysis of syntax/grammar. I believe there is over-analysis here, as far as explicit/implicit etc. is concerned. What is clear from the text is this: Those that were (already) ordained to eternal life believed. Whether or not the 'ordaining' to eternal life was the cause of their believing is not said.
However, anyone who read that passage would have assumed that they believed because they were ordained to eternal life. That's just a natural interpretation of the wording, especially since 'οσοι' means "as many as". Basically, exactly as many as were ordained to eternal life believed, no more and no less. It suggests that none believed that hadn't already been ordained to eternal life, and likewise every single person that had been ordained to eternal life did believe. It doesn't say it's the cause of their belief, but then we can ask how we ever establish causality. If event B always occurs when event A does, and never occurs if event A hasn't, and we establish that event A happens prior in time to event B, then we would say event A is the cause of event B. I may be wrong, but I believe this is the way causes are always determined, even in science.
I realize that this verse has huge theological implications, and my username may hint at my theological leanings but I honestly can't see how this verse can be interpreted in any other way unless there is a desire to maintain a position that seems to go contrary to the verse.
Acts 13:48b: καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

No Chance for the Opposition
The lady in the grey twin set leafs through the electoral roll for the umpteenth time, but her name is nowhere to be found, even though she is registered in this district.
"I'm not going until this has been cleared up," she says and sits back down on the green child's swing. She has already been waiting almost four hours. And she is not the only one.
A large number of women come and go throughout the day, because their names cannot be found in the register and in spite of being in possession of a voting slip and valid identity card, they are not allowed to vote. Officially, anyone able to produce an identity card and/or voting slip is eligible to vote.
The women arriving at the Qaumniya School polling station in the smart neighbourhood of Zamalek, a station reserved for women only, know their rights. They are members of the nation's upper classes, and many of them have good (family) connections with the centres of power.
Most of them probably intend to vote for the candidate representing the governing National Democratic Party (NDP). "It's a disgrace what's happening here," says one electoral officer. "Everyone should have the right to vote, no matter who they vote for. We're losing a great number of votes here."
Free and fair elections?
On Sunday November 28, 41 million Egyptians were called upon to elect 508 new parliamentary representatives. 444 of them – men and women – were elected in 222 constituencies. A further 64 seats are reserved for women and were chosen in 32 constituencies. A total of 5,064 candidates stood for election.
The government had promised to guarantee free and fair elections – even though on this occasion, no independent adjudicators or international election observers were allowed to enter polling stations.
One day after the election, the government billed the poll as a success; in an official statement issued by Egypt's Minister of Information Anas El-Fekky, the electoral commission explained that on balance, everything had gone smoothly.
But for anyone reading an independent daily newspaper on Monday morning, or looking at videos and polling day reports from activists and members of the opposition posted on the Internet, the picture was quite a different one.
The front page of Egypt's largest circulation independent daily Al-Masry al-Youm shows photographs of men in civilian clothing holding machine guns in their hands, men fighting with batons and burning street barricades. A series of photographs inside the paper shows ballot papers being forged at one particular polling station.
Footage captured by mobile phones now available on YouTube shows dozens of ballot papers being filled out by electoral officers and stuffed into large ballot boxes. There are allegations of vote buying, with one newspaper claiming prices of up to 200 Egyptian pounds paid for a cross in the correct box.
Violent clashes
"At one polling station, voters were told to write their names on the ballot papers, which of course invalidates them," says Israa Abdel Fattah, who observed the elections for the Egyptian Democratic Institute. She also says that members of the NDP were present at other polling stations without official permission, and that they only left after protests from the human rights organisation.
On contrast, accredited journalists and election observers were often refused entry. "The elections have shown that Egypt is a dictatorship, a country where votes are stolen from the people," says Abdel Fattah.
Other human rights groups are reporting up to eight fatalities, 45 violent clashes and 180 people detained by security forces on polling day. The Ministry of Information denies that the deaths were connected with the elections and says there were only isolated incidents of violence and injury caused to individuals.
Crowds of people gathered outside the polling stations in Shubra El-Kheima, one of Cairo's poorest districts. Most came to support the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed El-Beltagy. The Brotherhood may be officially banned in Egypt, but its members can be elected to parliament as independent candidates.
El-Beltagy won a parliamentary seat five years ago. He is popular in his constituency, but his re-election appears unlikely. For although hundreds of his supporters chanted his name outside the polling booths, there were only a few dozen ballot papers inside the ballot boxes. Apart from the official election workers and representatives of the NPD candidate, there was no one to be seen. "They're not letting my supporters in to cast their votes," said El-Beltagy.
Election loser: Democracy
There were many half-empty ballot boxes in evidence across the capital on election day. Election observers suggest that no more than 10 percent of the 41 million people eligible to vote actually cast their ballots on Sunday.
"It will be a clear victory for the governing party," says Amr El-Shobaki, political analyst at the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic and Political Studies. Initial projections appear to show that the Muslim Brotherhood, which entered the field with 130 candidates, has not managed to secure a single direct mandate, although 14 of its candidates could still win seats in the run-off next Sunday.
This is a bitter setback for the Brotherhood, which held 88 parliamentary seats following the 2005 election, making it the largest opposition bloc.
Amr El-Shobaki says the political system in Egypt is marked by irregularities at polling stations, such as corruption and gangs of thugs intimidating voters: "The biggest loser in this election is democracy, the winners are chaos and violence."
The analyst says he can foresee no major transformation taking place in Egypt in the near future. "Elections do nothing to change the system here," he says. The result will also have no impact on the presidential poll due to take place next year. "There'll be some kind of arrangement and the winner – an NDP candidate of course – will have been decided in advance," says El-Shobaki.
With an absolute majority in parliament and a marginalised opposition, it would appear that the NPD can continue its governance of Egypt undisturbed over the coming five years.

I wonder if anyone actually remembers this...
A big thanks to everyone who commented on the last thread and gave me tons of super-helpful tutorials and links, I ended up decided to actually do a proper webcomic for WF!
For a 'test run'/first practice I did a 5-page chapter that also serves as a quick prelude to the story proper, just to see how this 'how do I comic' thing goes - the whole learning process is pretty dang exciting and fun! You can't expect to nail everything on the first try, but a start is a start and I do like what I got in the end.
Oh, look, Mol's there too!
So what's next?
The real story will begin from Ch.1 onwards and should start very soon! It will center around a human's adventure into the WF world and then some tidbits, and the general style will be that of P.5's. A minor downside of a webcomic is that it's going to take a bit before I can show who does what and what's going on though!
So what do you guys think? Should I make regular page updates simultaneously with dA once Ch.1 (and beyond) goes live?

For These 10 Contemporary Artists, Art Runs in the Family
Artsy Editorial
Twin brothers Simon and Nikolai Haas run their eponymous furniture design and fabrication studio out of Los Angeles, from which they create everything from set design to wearable art, masks for Lady Gaga to gold-leafed furniture for Louis Vuitton stores. Nikolai apprenticed as a master carver and Simon studied blacksmithing at the Rhode Island School of Design—and together their pieces, while sleek, still retain some traces of artisanal handiwork. Their seating and vessels often combine futuristic finishes with biomorphic forms.

Course = race
Stage = internship
au = for
Course au stage = the race for a legal internship
The main requirement: CREDIBILITY.
We want the logo to be professional and simple. We will be working on this project with law firms, we want them to take us seriously.
We would like to see people try different designs solely with: courseaustage.com.
If you would like to try designing an image, it has to only COMPLEMENT the words (courseaustage.com) by being very SIMPLE, CLEAR and look PROFESSIONAL. Focus on the words courseaustage.com
Max 2 colors (+ black). Also, the logo needs to look good in BLACK and WHITE only.
We'd really like people to be creative and submit different ideas. We're open to just about anything (but please keep in mind the target audience).
Feel free to experiment with different color schemes, different color depths.
We're committed to giving you regular feedback. We're looking for someone who we can build a relationship with for our other design needs.

What Might Have BeenPosted by Anthony Mastantuoni under 2009 Playoffs
No Comments
"For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'"
I know John Greenleaf Whittier wasn't a Rangers fan because he died in 1892. However, that quote pretty much sums what it means to be fan of the New York Rangers.
The list of things that "might have been" are too numerous to list in a mere blog. One would need to write book to detail all of them. They are as diverse as the Rangers being forced to play "home" playoff games on the road because the circus took precedence at Madison Square Garden to Jean Ratelle breaking his ankle in the regular season – thus rendering him ineffective in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Boston Bruins to the Rangers passing on Mike Bossy not once, but twice in the 1997 NHL Draft.
However, it seems that the Rangers-Capitals playoff series crammed 82 games worth of "might have beens" into just seven games.
The Rangers inefficient power play has been a story all season long. Had the Rangers power play been average, the Blueshirts fortunes would have been far different. Perhaps they would won the Atlantic Division and been in a position to make a true run in the playoffs.
How different would Game 3 have been if Ryan Callahan's shot did not deflect off Nicklas Backstrom's stick and stay out of the net? Washington not only dodged the bullet, but they extended their lead to 2-0. How different would the outcome have been if the Rangers ended the first period tied at one?
A similar question could be asked in reference to Game 6 when Nikolai Zherdev's backhander missed an open net prior to Viktor Kozlov scoring to make it 4-1? A 3-2 deficit would have been much more manageable.
Even a Rangers win in Game 4 is not without its questions. What happens if Sean Avery does not take two of the most foolish penalties a player could take with his team clinging to a one-goal lead in the third period? Not only would the Rangers' victory been less agita-filled, but Avery would not have been benched in Game 5. Would the presence of Avery in the lineup for Game 5 have made a difference? We will never know.
Of course, had Avery not been benched in Game 5, then John Tortorella's action during Game 5, and subsequent one-game suspension, do not make the Rangers bench boss look like the biggest hypocrite in the world. Would it made a difference if the coach was behind the bench for Game 6? Tortorella finally addressed the issue and offered his opinion.
"Sure I regret not being there," Tortorella explained to A.J. Perez of USA Today. "I want to be with the team. Do I think that had an effect as far as the outcome? No. (Assistant Coach) Jim Schoenfeld is a very good coach.
Of course, the whole mess did take something out Avery in terms of his play in Game 6. The Rangers uber-pest was just a shell of himself – something which changed in Game 7 when he was the best Ranger on the ice.
"I thought Sean played well. Where Sean played is where he has to play – he has to be on edge, he has to be right there on the edge, but stay within himself. It's a tough thing for a player …. There are some things that go on around him during a game that doesn't go on around a lot of other players," Tortorella said to Steve Zipay of Newsday.
Washington's victory helped erase a "might have been" of their own by exorcising the ghost of last season when they went down three games to one to the Philadelphia Flyers before losing Game 7 at home in overtime.
"This is huge," Mike Green offered to Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post. "We worked so hard the last two years. To be put back in the same place – that is not a good building block. If you don't win this game, you are taking steps backward."
Even though they won the series the Capitals must wonder how their fortunes would have gone if Jose Theodore hadn't been so awful in Game 1. If he had played well enough to lose in those first two games, it is possible that Simeon Varlamov never plays in the series – and there we have the biggest "what might have been" for the Rangers.
What would have happened in the series if Capitals regular backup goaltender Brent Johnson had not been injured? If Johnson was healthy, it would have been more likely for Boudreau to go to the veteran Johnson considering he had played well during the regular season against the Rangers.
If Johnson had been in goal for this series, the Rangers would be preparing for a showdown with the Bruins instead of cleaning out their lockers for yet another early Summer vacation.

Former Oakland Raiders center Barret Robbins was shot and critically wounded during a struggle with a police officer investigating a burglary at a South Beach office building.
Robbins, a former All-Pro known best for going AWOL during the 2003 Super Bowl and other erratic behavior, was hospitalized in critical condition.
The former All-Pro sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the torso during a ``violent struggle'' with a Miami Beach detective Saturday night, police spokesman Bobby Hernandez said.
``The officer was literally fighting for his life, trying to get Mr. Robbins from getting his gun. That's when the shots rang out,'' Hernandez said.
Robbins, 31, was confronted in a second-floor office in a building that also houses a nightclub, gym and jewelry store. He was considered a burglary suspect, though no charges had been filed, Hernandez said.
``We just have to figure out what he was doing there,'' Hernandez said.
Hernandez said authorities had not been able to interview Robbins, but that the former offensive lineman was expected to face a charge of battery on a police officer. Hernandez also said police were trying to determine whether he would face trespassing or burglary charges.
Detective Mike Muley, who fired the shots, had minor head injuries from the scuffle and was treated at a hospital and released.
Robbins was taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Hernandez did not immediately have Robbins' condition Sunday, and a hospital official did not immediately return a page.
Robbins was arrested last month in San Francisco for hitting a security guard at a night club.
The often-troubled player is best remembered for disappearing the night before the 2003 Super Bowl in San Diego. He spent Super Bowl Sunday in a hospital and later acknowledged that he had stopped taking his medicine for depression and bipolar disorder. The Raiders lost 48-21 to Tampa Bay.
Robbins was released by Oakland in July, a week after he and two other players were fined three game checks for testing positive for the steroid THG.
Robbins played all nine of his pro seasons with Oakland and made the Pro Bowl after the 2002 season, but did not play in the game. A year after missing the final 14 games of 2001 with an injured right knee, he was a pivotal part of an offensive line that helped the Raiders produce the league's top offense.

Billy Lumbergh, the first and only rider to ever get a Rome pro model, was recently fired by the SDS and he's now rumored to be kiteboarding across Siberia.
"When I didn't win the US Open Trampshredding Championships last year, I started drinking heavily because knew Rome was going to fire my ass," states Lumbergh. "So I decided to stop focusing on trampoline snowboarding and the tramp party scene, and follow my real passion, kiteboarding."
Chip Boomer, the reigning world champion of trampshredding, had this to say: "We're going to miss Lumbergh on the tour—he was really pushing trampoline innovation with his rail tricks on the edge of the tramp and no one could shot-gun a Rockstar energy drink faster."
In other, more important news, with the Lumbergh Pro Model not in the line for this season, Rome got together with their real team riders and decided to create a new limited edition board—the Headroom.
Based on input from Jesse Fox, Jussi Tarvainen and Bjorn Leines, the Headroom features a shape unlike anything else in the Rome line. Utilizing the same technology package as the Agent (Impact.2 Core Matrix, StraightTriax 30 Carbon Laminate, S3 Base), the Headroom has a new true-twin geometric profile with a unique nose and tail shape. The result is buttery park performance that goes beyond the strict rail-focus of the Artifact.
The Headroom comes in a 154 and a 156, and quantities are limited in number. So check your local shred shop to see if they have any.

ONEONTA, N.Y. – The No. 11 Salisbury University football team tallied 34 straight third-quarter points to break open a close game at halftime as the Sea Gulls picked up a 61-14 victory over Empire 8 Conference foe Hartwick College before 783 fans at Wright Stadium on Saturday afternoon. SU benefitted from six interceptions to post its fourth consecutive showing of at least 60 points. With the victory, SU ties its best start since the 2007 season.
Salisbury (7-0, 5-0 Empire 8) has been on a tear to begin the year, particularly over the past four contests, where the maroon and gold has limited its opponents to an average of just 12 points per game. SU dominated the ground game, outrushing its opponent for the 23rd consecutive contest as the Sea Gulls ran for 432 yards, a total of almost 400 yards more than Harwick's final tally.
Salisbury jumped on Hartwick (2-5, 0-4 Empire 8) right out of the gate when junior quarterback Dan Griffin hit junior slot Ross Flanigan for a 32-yard strike to set up junior slot Joe Benedetti's 23-yard touchdown run just one minute in. The contest remained scoreless for the next 10 minutes before Griffin hit pay dirt on a 19-yard run to up SU's advantage to two touchdowns.
Following a score by Hartwick's Anthony Casiman to open the second frame, the Sea Gulls used consecutive field goals by sophomore kicker Andy Estrain and freshman kicker Eric Hart to increase their lead to 20-7. Estrain connected on a 21-yard kick seven minutes into the second while Hart's boot was on SU's final drive of the first half.
It was all Salisbury in the second half as the Sea Gulls posted five consecutive third quarter touchdowns. The frame was an offensive show for Salisbury, particularly through the air, where Griffin connected on aerial touchdown hookups, to senior slot Jonathan Briscoe and senior wideout Doug Ticse, of 26 and 16 yards, respectively.
The SU defensive unit registered its second touchdown in three games when sophomore defensive back Andre Carter snagged his second interception of the day and returned it 35 yards for the score. Senior slot Tyler Curley concluded the Sea Gulls' domination in the third with two rushing scores to move SU's lead to 54-7 heading into the final frame.
The SU defense held Hartwick scoreless for almost 30 minutes before Frankie Molina took in a 32-yard touchdown pass from Keegan Corbett three minutes into the fourth quarter. The score was as close as Hartwick would get as freshman slot David Salmon scored on a 2-yard run at the 7:04 mark of the fourth to claim his first career rushing touchdown.
The SU defensive unit was led by senior linebacker Jamey McClendon, who registered a team-high eight tackles. Freshman defensive back Cody Schecter notched five tackles while junior linebacker Rodney Hill and junior defensive back Chris Everett each had four. Carter's two interceptions paced the squad but Salisbury also had picks from sophomore defensive back Greg Stanton, junior defensive back Jerry Okocha, Everett and Ford. Junior linebacker Matt McMurdo made three tackles and notched one fumble recovery.
The offense saw 12 different players collect rushing attempts in the victory with Griffin and Benedetti leading the way with 65 yards and one score apiece. Griffin was 6-for-8 through the air for 129 yards and two touchdowns while junior wideout Juma Richards caught three passes for 55 yards.
Hartwick was paced by Bryan Schweitze, who had a game-high 15 tackles. Clyde Miller and R.J. Roth each had eight tackles while six others collected four. Also leading the way for the Hawks was Jordan Wilkins (eight receptions for 134 yards) and Brendan Cahill (seven punts for 247 yards).
The Sea Gulls look to continue their winning ways when they travel to Wesley College on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 1 p.m.
