Metal roofing
Metal roofing can cool your energy expenses and last longer than traditional roofingBy B. Denise Hawkins
Asphalt shingles are still the norm in most regions, but the next roof over your head could be an energy-saving metal one made of stainless steel and painted to reflect hot sun rays. Thomas Jefferson chose metal roofing to shelter Monticello, his Virginia estate. Centuries later, historians say, Jefferson's tin roof is in fine shape.
That kind of durability, say metal roofing retailers and manufacturers, is a strong selling point for making converts of a growing band of homeowners who want a building material that is not only sustainable, energy efficient, and cost-effective, but more aesthetically pleasing than asphalt. Today, you can select metals from copper to zinc. You can also choose roofing styles ranging from traditional vertical seams to those that resemble wood shake, slate, shingles and clay tiles. A multi-year study conducted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Building Technology Center suggests that replacing conventional asphalt roofs with metal ones can reduce air conditioning energy use by up to 25 percent.
Wondering whether your house should be clad with a metal roof? Energy Star offers this guidance: homes hampered with high air conditioning bills, have large roof surfaces, lower levels of insulation and are located in hot, sunny climates benefit the most from metal roofing. Painted metal roofs, also known as "cool metal roofs," are designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof. Special reflective color pigments in the paint make that possible. But whether using white or a darker paint color, heat will still reflect well and help reduce cooling loads in the summer and insulate homes during the winter.
With metal roofs, there are also other ways for homeowners to save money over time, but the initial purchase price can be a factor. The cost for using metal roofing systems in home renovations or in new residential construction is higher than most other roofing materials, say manufacturers. But compared to traditional dark gray asphalt shingles and other non-metal roofs that last on average 17 years, metal roofs last longer. The lifespan of metal roofs is about two to three times longer, says William "Bill" Hippard, chairman of the non-profit Metal Roofing Alliance, a coalition dedicated to educating consumers about the benefits of modern metal roofing, and the product is virtually maintenance-free.

Although all rates should extrapolate correctly at low density, the level population calculation requires the inversion of large matrices of rates. In most cases, the largest elements of the matrix are the spontaneous decay rates (A values) for allowed transitions. For highly charged ions these can exceed 10 s. At low densities the smallest rates of interest are the collisional rates and recombination rates. XSTAR attempts to avoid inverting singular matrices by discarding rows and columns whose largest elements differ from the largest element in the matrix by more than the machine precision (and then assuming the populations in the associated levels are zero). This can have the effect of producing inaccurate solutions particularly at low densities since some physically important transitions (notably recombination) may be discarded. Unfortunately, there is no clear way of automatically informing the user when this is happening. A rough rule of thumb is that densities less than approximately 1000 should be avoided when iron may be ionized beyond Fe XVII.
An indication of possible numerical problems is given by the final integer on each line of the output log file. This is the number of iterations required in order to reach thermal equilibrium and charge neutrality. Models with good convergence will typically have values of 5 or less for this quantity, except for the first step and possibly near ionization fronts. Otherwise, if this integer is large (i.e. greater than, say, 20), and if the value of heating - cooling (`h-c') is greater than 1 - 2, then it is possible that the density is lower than can be treated accurately by XSTAR.

A Letter to the Editor in the 12-12-06 Tomahawk Leader:
To the Editor:
At the Oct. 3, 2006, City Council meeting it became apparent that three of our elected city officials were anxious to have the Comprehensive Plan (CP) quickly passed. When Alderman Hetzel pointed out that the maps inserted into the CP were incorrect and that the fire equipment listed was out of date nor inclusive, the city attorney immediately said that that could be remedied. When I pointed out that 90 percent of the statistics used were all done in the 1990s, the city clerk/treasurer introduced the man who made $3,000 to write the CP to speak to that question. When I also pointed out that the Planning Commission listed on the title page was made up of all men, the mayor became defensive and looked to Alderwoman Ebert. The city clerk would not give me an answer when I asked about the committee listed as the Planning Commission which really consisted of the members of the Tomahawk Planning and Zoning Committee but were labeled incorrectly. It was an example of another error in the document.
The only issue that stopped the passing of the CP that evening was Alderman Brimacombe's request to amend the East Somo Avenue corridor to be zoned commercial. That ended the quick pass of the CP. Immediately the city attorney said that the zoning couldn't be changed because of the size of the properties. It was clarified by Alderman Nelson that the properties beyond the railroad tracks were larger and would qualify. The city clerk tried to point out the difference between the size of the north and south lots while Alderman Koth noted that the council had controlled the area's zoning and development over the years.
When such an important document is not due until 2010, wouldn't it be a good idea to use the time to gather current statistics? Why the rush? A lot has changed since the 1990s. Why wasn't more time given to get citizens who live in Tomahawk to become involved? Public Works didn't even have time to complete their survey. It takes time to get responses. The CP has nothing about safety for the citizens of Tomahawk in case of a disaster of any kind; since the 90s we know that two unexpected ones have hurt this country tremendously. Isn't a plan with a vision better than one based on outdated ideas? And isn't it immature for members of an ad hoc committee to insist that the CP should be passed because they worked so hard? It's the end product that counts? The document presented that night of Oct. 3 exemplified less than a superior effort – plus we paid for it.

RePEc (Research Papers in Economics)
As their website puts it, "The heart of the project is a decentralized database of working papers, journal articles and software components. All RePEc material is freely available." There are more than 1,000 members; it is a rare for a major department or publisher to not participate. In all, RePEc contains information on more than 1,000,000 working papers and publications. More than 1,100 journals are covered, including those from North-Holland, Springer and the University of Chicago Press. RePEc is not designed for end-users, but IDEAS (Internet Documents in Economics Access Service) and EconPapers allows end-users to search the RePEc database, and New Economics Papers (NEP) distributes information on new entries in various fields via e-mail.

This Guest Post is by Bill Lucas of Kishaba Juku of Tallahassee. Lucas Sensei is the author of the Tallahassee Karate Club Blog. This post is a recent one from his blog. It is always good to read about koshi!
Koshi Hojo Undo - The Mirror
There are many ways you can use a mirror to help you in your training.
Here are some obvious ones:
- Watch yourself perform a kata or a specific move or moves from a kata
- Watch yourself perform a punch, kick, block or other technique
- Watch yourself do a stance or move from stance to stance
- The normal way you do it
- Fast
- Powerful
- Slow, relaxed, graceful
- Do the technique in very slow motion. Focus on each particular point throughout the range of motion. What is your center doing? How do the movements of your arms connect with the motion of you waist? Is your koshi compressed? Are your lats compressed? Do you feel a connection between your koshi and your arms via your lats? Are the lines of your body arches or angles? Which is stronger? Are you relaxed, yet dynamically compressed? Do your hands only tighten at the point of Kime or are they tight throughout? Is your stance strong yet ready to move in any direction at any time? Are all the parts of your body moving in unison.
- Do the technique really fast this time. Do you find your techniques getting less precise? Can you go fast and still feel connected? Ask yourself the same questions as #1 above. How is your performance of the movement different this time?
- Try again this time with as much power as possible. Where does the power come from? Are you using your whole body to make the power? How is the technique different from #1 and #2.

The Holy Martyrs Acindynus, Pegasius, Aphthonius, Elpidephorus, and Anempodistus
These Martyrs contested in Persia about the year 330, in the reign of Sapor (Shapur) II, King of Persia (325-379). Acindynus, Pegasius, and Anempodistus, Persian Christians, confessed Christ before the King, and were put to many torments. Aphthonius and Elpidephorus, drawn to the Faith of Christ through the Martyrs, were beheaded with another 7,000. Saints Acindynus, Pegasius, and Anempodistus were at last burned to death. Two churches were dedicated in their honour in Constantinople. As is often the case in church hymns, there is a play on the meanings of the Saints' names here. Acindynus means "unimperilled"; Pegasius is derived from pegazo--"to gush forth"; Aphthonius is derived from aphthonos-"abundant"; Elpidephorus means "hope-bearing"; Anempodistus means "unhindered." These are all Greek translations of their Persian names.
Apolytikion of Martyr Acindynus & Companions
Second Tone
Blessed is the earth that drank your blood, O prizewinners of the Lord, and holy are the tabernacles that received your spirit; for in the stadium ye triumphed over the enemy, and ye proclaimed Christ with boldness. Beseech Him, we pray, since He is good, to save our souls.
Kontakion of Martyr Acindynus & Companions
First Tone
As five unerring stars of the great Sun of Glory, the soldiers of Christ God brightly shone on the whole earth, dispelling the gloom of passions and pouring abundant grace on all of the faithful without cease and unhindered; and they grant salvation that no sin can imperil, through hope that is full of faith.
Blessed Feast Day
Share the feast of The Holy Martyrs Acindynus, Pegasius, Aphthonius, Elpidephorus, and Anempodistus with an icon greeting ecard.

Thank you. Listening back I felt like Jim Carrey trying to lie in "Liar, Liar." Played around for a few minutes in Audacity with speed and pitch. Got it to sound more female, although she sounds quite old.

Exactly. Greytext would be doubletracked so that the second word is heard in the background.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's proclamation at the APEC Leaders meeting in Honolulu last November of Canada's formal expression of interest in joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade talks marked a stunning reversal of Canadian policy. Up to that point, Canada had feigned disdain for the TPP, and publicly stated that it wouldn't agree to join a negotiation where it would have to agree to a priori conditions.
Canada had been asleep at the switch when the TPP, which had begun life modestly as a grouping of just four small economies (New Zealand, Chile and Singapore, joined at the last moment by Brunei), expanded its membership at the APEC summit in Peru in 2008. The TPP had limited traction until the administration of George W. Bush, looking for an initiative to take on the trade front in the face of a hostile Congress, latched on to the TPP as a possible vehicle to promote trade liberalization, potentially leading to a future Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific (FTAAP). Once the United States was on board, Peru, Australia and Vietnam all enthusiastically signed on through unilateral declarations. Malaysia expressed cautious interest and was eventually admitted. Canada, still mired in a minority government that hadn't yet bought into the realization that Canada's future lies as much, or more, in Asia rather than across the Atlantic or exclusively in North America, did nothing.
Over the past couple of years, though, the TPP has started to gain momentum. With the reaffirmation of U.S. commitment by the Obama administration, negotiations started in earnest in 2009, leading to a declaration in Honolulu in November 2011 at the APEC Summit that the TPP leaders had achieved the broad outlines of an "ambitious 21st Century agreement." They expressed the hope that the agreement will be completed by the end of this year.Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month.
As the TPP started to move toward reality, and as Canadian trade relations with Asia continued to mark time (Canada has signed a number of free trade agreements in recent years, but none with an Asian economy), Canadian officials started to realize that they were on the outside looking in. They quietly started to sound out the United States on the possibility of Canada joining the negotiations, but it's fair to say that Canadian participation wasn't a U.S. priority.
First, there was the issue that adding participants would complicate a negotiation that was already challenging, given the varied economic interests of the participants, ranging from fully developed economies like Australia and New Zealand to emerging, state-directed economies like Vietnam. Second, there were some very real concerns regarding Canada's willingness to make a positive contribution to achieving the kind of ambitious outcome the U.S. was seeking. Canadian intellectual property rights (IPR) laws were notoriously lax, and several attempts to update them had gone nowhere. Canada has also always been keen on carving out a wide exception for a broadly-defined range of "cultural industries."
This is something not designed to appeal to important interests in the U.S. and, perhaps of more importance to New Zealand than the United States, Canada clung to an outdated supply-management system for dairy, eggs and poultry, the effect of which was to more or less seal off the Canadian market for these products (with the exception of specialty items that couldn't be produced in Canada). In short, Canada wasn't really welcome at the table, although no one wanted to say so publicly, and Canada didn't want to run the risk of a rebuff by asking publicly.

Our meditation is essentially a response to the direct summons of the gospel to leave self behind. It is heard by each one of us personally and uniquely because the Spirit of Jesus which makes the call felt, dwells within the heart of each person uniquely.
The fundamental call of the Gospel is to conversion, a turning from ourselves to the One who calls. Turning means precisely what it says, changing direction from our hopes and fears, turning away from the past and the future and, ultimately, to turn from our very self-consciousness.
Conversion is a process of spiritual growth by which we die to our own selves… It is an absolute call but it allows for a progressive turning. It does not expect a complete turnaround in go. It is an ongoing conversion, an on-going transformation of consciousness.
Our commitment to conversion is a commitment to growth and one that we make real and incarnate in our twice-daily meditation.
It is difficult to transmit, how the saying of our mantra reinforces our commitment to the conversion experience of the Gospel in every part of our life, in every relationship in every project we undertake, in every work we do...loss of self. Nonetheless it is absolutely true that simply saying the mantra commits us to living out the consequences of saying the mantra.
The moral reality of our life begins to mature… We can't meditate every day and continue to pursue a policy of deception, of self-interest, of revenge.
However gradually, we must begin to commit ourselves in daily life to truthfulness, to love, to God. This is why it is our spiritual life which transforms our world. As our moral integrity begins to develop, our actions will inevitably begin to change and so the reality of the world we live in, the world of social, political or religious beings, begins to change as well.
The core of John Main's teaching is that we must first learn to be and then we will know what to do. What we do is only changed deeply and permanently by what we are....
The mantra anchors us in the present moment. This mindfulness is Christian enlightenment: illumination by the mind of Christ, by his consciousness which has been transfigured into pure love, by the light of divine love.
We awaken to this presence at the deepest level of consciousness. It takes time for it to break the surface of our consciousness but as it rises to the surface, as the light begins to spread through our consciousness, so the depth of our mindfulness grows.
Laurence Freeman OSB
We invite you to reflect on the excerpts from Light Within and how they resonate with the 12 steps of recovery and in particular the 11th Step – " Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out."
Relieved of the alcohol obsession, their lives unaccountably transformed, they came to believe in a Higher Power, and most of them began to talk of God." 12&12 p.28, Step Two
New Consciousness - He has been granted a gift which amounts to a new state of consciousness and being. 12&12 p.107,
This dream world has been replaced by a great sense of purpose, accompanied by a growing consciousness of the power of God in our lives. BB p.130, The Family Afterward
As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His presence, we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. P.63 How It Works
Spiritual Awakening - When a man or a woman has a spiritual awakening, the most important meaning of it is that he has now become able to do, feel, and believe that which he could not do before on his unaided strength and resources alone. 12&12 p.106, Step Twelve
Ego Deflation The problem is to help them discover a chink in the walls their ego has built, through which the light of reason can shine. 12&12 p.46, Step Four
Progress - We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection - BB p.60, How It Works


text: In May, 1994, the Lexington conference on photoionization modeling was held in order to better understand the differences between the various codes available for solving photoionization problems. The conference was attended by approximately 8 modelers actively involved in the solution of problems involving H II regions, nova envelopes, planetary nebulae, and AGN clouds. As part of the workshop the participants were asked to run several standard problems and compare the results. These were chosen from what were thought to be representative models of H II regions, planetary nebulae, and AGN clouds. The results will appear in a book on the proceedings of the Space Telescope Institute Conference on Emission Lines. In this appendix we reproduce the comparison with the results of XSTAR 1.17 with the other models given in the conference proceedings, along with the input files needed to reproduce these results. Note that version 1.17 has added an input command 'benchmark ', where is an integer from 1 to 8, representing the test case in the Lexington paper. This command produces a table, similar to the 'print line_fluxes' command, but also including the mean value and dispersion of each line flux from the ensemble of model results in the Lexington paper (with the results of the current run substituted for the XSTAR results given there; columns 5 and 6), the flux from the current XSTAR run (in the appropriate units asadopted by the Lexington conference; column 7), and the number of 'sigmas' the XSTAR result differs from the mean (column 4). The last line gives the summed for all lines from the 10 codes represented in the Lexington paper. The first two entries are always zero; the XSTAR is in the 4th non-zero column (column 6).

100-Year-Old Color Photos from the Russian Empire
No, color film did not exist in 1909, but chemist-turned-photojournalist Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) had pioneered a revolutionary method to document pre-Revolution Russian Empire and its multicultural surroundings. Using color-filtered plates of glass, he captured a red, a blue and a green channel of each of rivers, railroads, villages, churches of olde. Even more fascinatingly, we can look 100 years back in time on the faces of real peasants, factory workers, noblemen, soldiers, sailors and botanists. Peek into the past with these amazing scenes from 1909 through 1912, courtesy of the Library of Congress. The borders give it an extra magical touch, don't they?

Ruby PananaZia
A daughter of Seferina Bell, Ruby Panana was born in Zia Pueblo in the early 1950's. She grew up watching her famous mother making pottery but didn't begin herself until she was almost 30 years old. She finished high school at Albuquerque's West Mesa High School, then went on to the University of New Mexico in search of a teaching degree. However, her scholarships didn't cover all that she needed covered and she eventually returned to Zia Pueblo. She met and married her husband and moved to his home at Jemez Pueblo. As much as Ruby now lives at Jemez Pueblo, she still makes her pottery in the Zia style she learned from her mother.
In addition to her famous mother Ruby counts potters Kathryn Pino and Eleanor Pino Griego among her family.
Since immersing herself full time in her pottery making, she has blazed a trail for other Zia potters by participating in shows at the Walatowa Visitor Center, the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market in Phoenix, the SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market, the Southwest Indian Art Fair in Tucson and the Eight Northern Pueblos Arts and Crafts Fair in Espanola, NM. She has taken home ribbons for Best of Show from Walatowa, 1st and 2nd Place at Santa Fe Indian Market, Best of Pottery at the Heard, 1st and 2nd Place at Eight Northern Pueblos and the Purchase Award at Tucson (meaning: the Arizona State Museum bought the pot she entered to be judged).
Ruby tells us her favorite shapes to work with are water jars and her favorite designs to paint include parrots and rainbows. Like many Native American potters, Ruby says she gets her inspiration from the clay itself. That's part of what causes her to enjoy making pottery so much.
When she's not making pottery you might find Ruby near a basketball game: her favorite team is the UConn Women's Basketball Team. She also enjoys regular visits to the casino (although she doesn't ever win much) and she's lately gotten into a business buying storage units...

Zia Pueblo
A typical view on the Zia Reservation
Zia Pueblo is situated in the Jemez Mountains with Jemez Pueblo to the north and Santa Ana Pueblo to the south. Despite its picture postcard setting, Zia's history for the last four hundred years has been difficult.
Antonio de Espejo led a small troop of Spanish explorers up the Jemez River and discovered Zia Pueblo in 1583. Espejo estimated there were about 4,000 inhabitants in a city of house blocks up to three and four stories high with five major plazas and many smaller ones. "The people are clean. The women wear a blanket over their shoulders tied with a sash at their waist - their hair cut in front, and the rest plaited so that it forms two braids, and above a blanket of turkey feathers," is how Espejo's scribe recorded it.
Zia today is a water-poor community of about 800, most of whose residents work away from the pueblo.
The people of Zia participated in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and when Spanish troops returned in 1682 and 1687, the Zias were able to repulse them. When more Spanish troops returned in 1688 they were finally successful in conquering the Zias. The Spanish killed many people, burned the pueblo and took many slaves back to Mexico with them. When Don Diego de Vargas returned to northern Nuevo Mexico in 1692, the Zias sued for peace and accepted the rule of Spain almost immediately. However, the new Spanish government did little to protect the pueblos from the raids of nomadic Ute, Apache, Comanche and Navajo warriors. Zia fortunes slid in many ways and by the 1890's the tribe was down to just 98 members.
Today, the Pueblo of Zia numbers about 800 people, many of whom are active artists producing everything from pottery to jewelry to baskets to paintings, sculptures and wood carvings.
Pottery was a Zia mainstay as for at least two hundred years. The balance of trade was food from Santa Ana, Jemez and San Felipe in return for pottery from Zia. Pottery still remains Zia's largest home-grown cash crop.
Zia pottery is Keresan and, as such, shares design characteristics with other important Keresan pottery, especially Acoma and Laguna ware. They all have their favorite geometric patterns, stylized birds, rainbows and flowers, but each maintains its own individual images and colors.
Where Acoma and Laguna's bird is a parrot, Zia's is a roadrunner. Acoma's black and orange on stark white is contrasted by Zia's dark brown and brownish red on creamy white. Further, Acoma's hard, paper-thin, white clay ollas differ greatly from Zia's sturdy, slightly granular, basalt-tempered red clay jars. Because of their unique local clay and their traditional designs and shapes, Zia pottery is unique and easily distinguished from the pottery of other pueblos.
When New Mexico became a territory (and then a state), some of the symbols involved were sourced from Zia Pueblo. The roadrunner often pictured on Zia pottery became the official New Mexico state bird and the Zia sun symbol (a circle with four parallel lines in four groups pointing in the four directions) became a state symbol depicted in many places, including the state flag.

Pottery Care & Consideration
- The most obvious tip: Yes, the pots will break if you drop them!
- Do not expose pottery to water (Inside or outside). Do not wipe with a damp cloth.
- Dust pottery only with a soft, smooth cloth (no terry cloth or textured fabric). A very soft paintbrush (sable or camel) can be used.
- Always use two hands to carry your pot: one on top and one on the bottom, or one hand on each side. Be careful with handles, they can be fragile. Do not grip or lift pots by the rim. Take care when wearing jewelry, rings can scratch the finish.
- Place a piece of felt or cloth between the pot and the shelf to protect the signature.
- Avoid exposing pottery to extreme temperature changes.
For those who live in "earthquake country" (also good for mischievous pets):
- Weigh pots down with a small zip lock bag containing sand, glass marbles, rice, etc. Do not fill the pot more than one third full as you want them bottom heavy. Remember to remove the weight before moving.
- Secure your shelves; make sure they are well attached to the walls. Shelf brackets should be of sufficient length and strength to support the weight of your pottery.
- Prevent pots from sliding. Consider attaching a small wooden molding to the front of shelves. Line shelves with non-slip material (a thin sheet of rubber foam, Styrofoam sheeting, etc.)
- If you need assistance with special problems, major cleaning (your grandchild spills ice cream on your pot), restoration or repair (the cat breaks a pot), or replacement (irreparable damage), please feel free to call us.
We hope these ideas help you maintain the beauty and value of your pottery for years of enjoyment.

What is great about our industry is people make candles for many different reasons. For many it has become a holiday tradition where they make their friends, neighbors and co-workers candles for gifts. Others researched the subject and have found that selling candles are an excellent way to start their own business. Yet another is a candle enthusiast that may not find what they like in the market and wish to make it themselves.Read More

Topic: Boba Fett in The Force Unleashed II
Well. Once again after about a month's hiatus I am back. With some news. Someone showed this trailer that debuted at comic-con methinks. It features Boba and Vader discussing a certain girl that has ties to Starkiller. Well just watch it and see.
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/201 … 2_ST_N.htm
Oh boy. Is that me or is it Dee Bradley Baker the generic clone trooper voice from Clone Wars? I knew that would happen. As much as I didn't want it to. This for me seems to have killed whatever faith I had left in the Star Wars fandom.

Activists Try to Add Touch of the Divine to Disputed Islands
A territorial feud at the heart of rising tensions between China and Japan came into focus yet again Thursday when a group of activists from Taiwan and Hong Kong tried to land on the disputed Diaoyu Islands, known as Senkaku in Japan.
The group of four activists along with three fishermen departed from northern Taiwan at 1:45 am on Thursday under the escort of Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration. The boat turned back at 11:30 am without landing on the islands.
Taiwanese fishermen have long claimed the waters around the islands are part of their traditional fishing ground. The group said their goal was to erect a statue of Matzu, the Goddess of Sea, on the islands to protect Taiwanese fishing vessels.
Long simmering tensions between China and Japan over the uninhabited islands rose to a rolling boil in September, when Japan's government announced plans to purchase several of the islands from a Japanese family. The news sparked anti-Japanese protests in China that led to the trashing of Japanese restaurants and Japanese-made cars in China, and there is growing concern in foreign policy circles that provocations on both sides could spark a military conflict.
Though nationalist sentiment on both sides has been a factor in the conflict, there are economic concerns as well: Aside from fish, the area around the islands is also believed by some to contain significant oil and gas deposits.
Taiwan, which also claims sovereignty over the islands, has stayed mostly on the sidelines in the dispute, content to let fishermen and activists press its claim.
According to the Taiwan Coast Guard, there was a brief exchange of water spraying between the Taiwanese and Japanese patrol boat on Thursday morning but no major altercations occurred.
Taiwan's foreign ministry said its Japanese counterpart had lodged a protest against the action by the fishermen, adding that one possible repercussion could be a delay on long-stalled Taiwan-Japan fishing rights negotiations, most recently scheduled to take place in late January or early February.
Though the failure of the Taiwanese fishermen to land on the islands might cause some small measure of embarrassment, it is by no means the first time activists have seen a Diaoyu protest go awry. In July, a Taiwanese protestor found himself being mocked at home and on the Chinese Internet after he expressed his anger at Japanese patrol boats by waving a Chinese flag, which later ended up in the water.

A metro-area woman's Facebook post accusing three Egyptian men of engaging in "sex trafficking behavior" at a Highlands Ranch store garnered more than 50,000 shares and hundreds of comments within three days. But it was not based on facts, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said.
"The situation probably could've been avoided," said Lauren LeKander, public information office for the sheriff's office. "If you're going to post something about a situation, post the facts. Don't twist the story around."
In the July 8 post that has since been deleted, a Lakewood woman warned residents of three men shopping at Ross in Highlands Ranch who were allegedly shopping for kids' clothes and following her and her two young children around the store.
"I'm not too shy to say this is sex trafficking behavior at its best," she wrote. "Please keep your kids close and secure in the store, and be aware: keep your mom senses up."
Employees of the store were notified and the sheriff's office was called to assist the woman to her car because she felt uncomfortable, said the sheriff's office, adding that there was no criminal activity, nor was a police report filed. The sheriff's office confirmed that there are no current sex trafficking reports in Douglas County.
The Facebook post, which drew hundreds of comments of fear and anger toward the men, comes after a similar-type post shared earlier this year that accused a man of kidnapping a woman's child outside of a Highlands Ranch library. The sheriff's office confirmed that the man was moving the woman's stroller to get into his adjacently parked car.
"It's interesting the way these stories start to develop on social media and become something more than they are," LeKander said. "It creates an issue that's a nonissue."
Kip Wotkyns, associate professor of journalism and technical communication at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said that posts of nonfactual events or fake news - a false news story spread through traditional media or social media - are potentially dangerous to society. The July 8 post led to a series of responses, including death threats to the three men, who also had their photographs included in the post.
Posts like these spread like wildfire because of confirmation bias, information that is interpreted or supported by someone based on his or her preexisting beliefs, said Wotkyns, who specializes in media's impact on society. He advises readers to look at the credibility of sources posting and sharing content on social media.
"Words have consequences," he said.

Final Paper Options
- Your final paper should be a 7-9 page (typed double spaced) paper satisfying one of the following topics:
- 1. "My Philosophy of Food" -- Put together your best answers to the most basic questions that define a philosophy of food. What are the fundamental features of a sound approach to food? How should we think about food, the Western Diet, and the satisfactions that food makes possible? What are the implications for your developed philosophy of food in terms of food choices and personal food culture (roughly what to eat and how to eat).
- 2. Research Paper -- Food topics abound. Chose something that builds on your disciplinary expertise or not. You may choose an fact-based topic, but you may also want to consider topics that integrate ethical and public policy issues and the food system.
- First Steps: In early April, I'll ask you to share some ideas about your topic interests in small group work.
Ideas for Food Journaling and Investigations in Florence and Beyond
Here are some ideas for optional work that helps you connect our Philosophy of Food course to Florence and your study abroad experience. Many of these involve an kind of amateur "ethnography" in which you carefully observe characteristics of the local (or European) food culture for distinctive practices and organization.
- Restaurant and Food markets (including supermarket) culture
- Visit several supermarkets and at least one open market (Mercato Centrale, but maybe also the Mercato St. Ambrogio, including at least one outside the centro. Observe the layout of the market, proportions of different kinds of products (industrial, artiginale, local, national brands), notice how food is presented and served to be sold. If you are quantitatively oriented you might focus on the sizes and prices of foods in comparison to the US. Qualitatively issues include the aesthetics of the market, quality of products, similarities and differences about the products offered, and how the market is organized. Who is shopping there and what are they buying? What can you tell about the "sourcing" of the foods? Try an Esselunga or Coop (via Gioberti or Novoli #22 bus from the station). Don't just visit small supermarkets in the center. You can also make comparative observations between Italian food culture and other places in Europe that you visit.
- Since you visit restaurants to complete your diet here, try to develop a sense of the variety of Italian eating establishments. Get outside the Viale for this assignment as well. Compare menu organization, content, assumptions about diner preferences. How do Italians eat out? When do they go to dinner? How to they take apperitivi? You may need to research the different types of restaurants to understand your experience.
- Street Food, Cafes and coffee culture, gelato, and specialty food stores
- Florence has some distinctive street foods. Read about Tripa and Lampradotta and, if you are brave, go find some and try it.
- Read about how Italians take their coffee, learn how to order coffee and pastries and then sample a variety of cafes from the fancy places in and just off Piazza Repubblica (Gigli, Giubbe Rosso, or the Giacosa, which is frequented more by Florentines. Go to some modest local cafes. What's different about them from the fancy ones?
- Specialty stores with unique assortments of Italian foods can be found all over Florence. I'll start making a list, but again, you should sample some inside and outside the centro. For example, in my neighborhood there is a specialty shop for Mozzarella di Bufala. Outside the viale you can still find butcher shops and small shops that sell fruit and vegetables. Learn about vino sfuso.
These experiences can be processed for the course as journal assignments (3 or 6 for 5% or 10% of your grade) or short research papers. You should take a notebook or other device for writing down observations. Your journals should synthesis your observations rather than present raw data. Record both things you observe and think you understand as well as things that are puzzling to you. Research some the puzzles. Often this requires finding Italians who can be "informants" or you. Please pick a few highlights to share with the class.
Rough Outline of Optional Philosophy of Food Assignments and Topic Ideas
I will work on some new assignments for the Florence version of the course. Some of the assignments listed below may not be practical under conditions in Florence:
- Diet Review and Improvement -- Review your own diet and consider the effects of specific changes you might make.
- Choose 1, 2, or all three of these options:
- 1. Tracking. Use an online diet tracking site to create a "baseline" analysis of your diet. Compare your diet to US Dietary Guidelines [1]. You can start this assignment between Feb 1 and March 1. Consider Myfitnesspal or any food/diet site that is connected to the large food and nutrition databases. Enter most of the foods you eat over a 7-10 day period. We will get into more detail on this, but try to look up nutritional norms for your age, health, and weight. Compare with your actual diet and the US Dietary Guidelines. Write up your observations in a 3-4 paper. You may want to focus on a general comparison of your diet to the guidelines, things you didn't notice or were surprised by about your diet, the proportion of whole food vs. industrial food products, the regularity or lack of regularity in the diet, etc. Due no later than March 1.
- 2. Elimination Diet.Try small changes in your diet by eliminating some or all of the following: industrial processed food, sodas, eating between meals, and refined carbohydrates, especially refined sugar. Consider re-sourcing industrial meat to local organic. Try adding a non-meat protein dinner, such as a lentil or bean dish. Try the same as a restaurant. Use a journal to track your experience of these changes. Using the journal as a source, report on your experience in a 2-3 reflection paper. Start as soon as mid-February but finish no later than late March.
- 3. 3 Way Diet analysis.In light of your study of nutrition this semester, make an analysis of your diet that considers three standards: nutrition, satisfaction, and practicality. Late April.
- Food System Research, Food Journalism, & Food Activism -- Research a specific aspect of food production and distribution in your local food system. A research focus involves documenting the issue and giving your analysis of it, whereas an activism focus may involve trying to promote positive change. Here are a few examples:
- Research a particular grocery store's sourcing choices.
- Why does a local store sell peppers from Holland? Can they be sourced locally?
- What organizations exist in Spokane to help promote local food production?
- Investigate Sodexho's dietary standards and sourcing choices?
- Take a favorite food product, food, or meal in your life and investigate or compare sourcing options. This could involved documenting the sources of a food product, making a dish from differently sourced ingredients, or other possibilities.
- Visit a local supplier of organic foods or a local producer of industrial foods. Integrate relevant course issues into your analysis and reflection on your visit.
- Visit Pure Eiyre Dairy in Othello, which touts its humane and organic methods. Sample their products, comparing them to industrial equivalents. http://www.pureeiredairy.com .
- Try to visit Snyder's bread factory and then one of the artisan bakers in town: Common Crumb, Luna (Boosie's), Petite Chat.
- Assess one or more restaurant menus in terms of nutrition, sourcing, or gastronomy.
- Visit a local organic ranch or farm to gain insight into their values and challenges. What are the economics of such an enterprise.
- Food security topic -- Learn about the food distribution systems that supply food banks, community food pantries, and free meals. Where does the food come from? Who uses or depends upon this food system? How well does it work to provide food security?
- Food movie and book groups -- Get together with other students or work on your own to deepen your understanding of an additional book or movie source on food. Choose journals and/or class reporting as part of this assignment. Food movies
- Some possible books:
- Catching Fire Richard Wrangham -- This book by a leading medical anthropologist has been widely discussed and referenced in the last year. It brings together a fascinating literature on the effects of cooking on human evolution.
- The Good Gut Justin and Erica Sonnenburg -- This microbiology couple at Stanford contributed this volume to the current discussion gut bacterial" or your microbiome.
- Mindful Eating Jan Chozen Bays -- In this work, the author, a medical doctor, explores the ways that becoming a more mindful eater can improve your awareness of the importance of eating, your diet, control of appetite, and enjoyment of food.
- In Meat We Trust Maureen Ogle -- Historians will like this story of the US cultural and dietary relationship with meat.
- Philosophers at Table Raymond Boisvert and Lisa Heldke -- A recent work in philosophy on the nature of food and being human.
- More Than a Meal: The Turkey in History, Myth, Rituah and Reality.Karen Davis, (New York: Lantern Books, 2001)
- Caffeinated Murray Carpenter
- Short Term Research - Many of the issues and topics we discuss are in flux due to emerging research and changes in food production and consumption. Here are some suggested topics for further research.
- What are the alternatives to "culling" of male layers or treatment of male calves at dairy operations?
- Can we breed animals "back" to conditions prior to the distorted breeding programs of industrial agriculture?
- Food ethnography: Study a food or food system from your ethnic, regional, or class identity. The specific goal of the study will depend upon your interests. You might want to explore a food from your family life or make a critical study of the disruption of a food culture.
- Research a fad diet from the last few years in light of research and reflection.
- Are we getting better at farm raised fish?

You know what's great? Meryl Streep has gotten old.
I understand if she may not be as ecstatic about this as I am. But if the passage of time allows our greatest screen actress to play more roles like "August: Osage County's" Violet Weston, she surely must be a little gratified.
All Streep's formidable technique, thunderous power and her lightning bolt-precise emotional range is deployed in long, delectably disturbing stretches as the raging matriarch of a deeply dysfunctional Oklahoma clan. Addicted to painkillers and a life's worth of resentments, Violet also suffers from mouth cancer — and boy, does she take every advantage of that metaphor. The woman says the most awful things to her children, their significant others and her briefly-glimpsed husband (Sam Shepard).
"I'm just telling the truth" is this mad grandma's — who could eat Johnny Knoxville for lunch — repeated refrain. The most infuriating yet interesting thing about Violet is that she's right; nasty and narcotized as her statements can be, they draw real blood because they're so honest. And so funny.
That isn't just because Streep serves her lines along with expertly timed double takes, darting glances and the like. The material, which Tracy Letts adapted for the screen from his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, is a trove of zingers, asides, creative cussing and wicked witty one-liners.
Good as its laughs are, though, "Osage" is no comedy. It's about a lot of very unhappy people doing the best and the worst that they can. There ain't much of the former to go around; the latter's a cornucopia.
The rest of the ensemble is just as good as Streep, an odds-on improbability that speaks to the wisdom of having "West Wing" and "ER" veteran John Wells direct the movie. Julia Roberts, who plays the eldest — and most like her mother — of Violet's three daughters, has simply never given a better performance.
Everyone else is at the top of their game, too: Julianne Nicholson and Juliette Lewis as Violet's other adult children; Margo Martindale as her protective (except for that one time… ) sister; Chris Cooper as a kind brother-in-law; Benedict Cumberbatch as his dim-bulb son; pure professionals Dermot Mulroney and Ewan McGregor serving extraneous male purposes; and a very convincing Abigail Breslin as teen growing up too fast for anyone's comfort.
Put all these folks around a table with Streep's Violet at its head and you get what may be the finest dinner battles ever recorded.
Misty Upham is an island of calm (except for that one time… ) in this maelstrom as the family's new servant. and a bit of an unfortunate Magic Indian kind of character. You never get too far away from the fact "Osage" is an adaptation from the stage, either. But even at its most contrived and overarticulate, Letts' writing is pure pleasure. And no matter how horrible Violet behaves, you just bask in Streep's joy at going as far as she can without ever losing magisterial control.
