How to Think Straight: An Introduction to Critical Reasoning
Prometheus Books, 1998 - Philosophy - 164 pages
Practical reasoning and clear thinking are essential for everyone if we are to make sense of the information we receive each day. Being able to quickly know the difference between valid and invalid arguments, the contradictory versus the contrary, vagueness and ambiguity, contradiction and self-contradiction, the truthful and the fallacious, separates clear thinkers from the crowd.
How to Think Straight lays the foundation for critical reasoning by showing many ways in which our thinking goes awry. Celebrated philosopher Antony Flew entertainingly instructs on the many and varied faults that occur in argument, the power of reason, how to challenge assertions and find evidence, and how not to be persuaded by half-truths. Flew also examines poor reasoning, and why we should be concerned with finding the truth.
Lucid, terse, and sensible, with study questions and exercises to help along the way, this enlightening second edition will help you develop the skills necessary to argue and reason effectively by following a few simple, easy-to-remember directions.
What people are saying - Write a review
I was a TA for Professor Robert Audi. Our textbook was An Introduction to LOGIC and SCIENTIFIC METHOD by Morris R. Cohen and Ernest Nagel. The subject matter was nearly identical to THINKING STRAIT. Audi and Flew both emphasized that equivocation is the killer fallacy! Personally I love the "True Scotsman" and Flew's other insightful illustrations of semantic issues. "I was just stocking up before the hoarders got everything." It is actually simple to prove that God exist! It is extremely reasonable to accept that God is "what makes human life possible." We exist, therefor there is a God! Now, if She asks why you like FAITH when She gave you REASON, what will you say?
Logicians must always consider all possibilities!
If an Oxford Professor like Antony Flew says "precisification" then I say it is a great word for CLARIFICATION, REASONING, UNDERSTANDING, EDUCATION, and COMMUNICATION. Like Flew says, "Figure it out." This means you must always get the right edition to find the word "precisification." The thought coach says that precise clarification is good for focus. Also, "Write and reword as required."

Indiana University's Mens Soccer program lifted yet another National Title Sunday afternoon, defeating Georgetown 1-0 at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala.
Aided by six players with ties to the Fire player development system, the Hoosiers gained their eighth championship (and first since 2004), good enough for second all-time behind only Saint Louis University.
After a scoreless first half, the lone goal would be produced by Fire Academy, Super-20 and PDL product Patrick Doody (pictured right) in the 63rd minute.
The left back broke free up the flank, served a looping ball to the back post where it was headed down by Eriq Zavaleta before Nikita Kotlov knocked it home from close range.
Georgetown threw everything forward late and nearly forced extra time in the 89th minute. This time another Academy, Super-20 and PDL product and senior midfielder Ian Christianson headed a long ball from the left flank off the right post before Hoosier 'keeper Luis Soffner could collect.
Doody joins fellow Fire Player Development alumni junior midfielder Jacob Bushue (Academy), freshman forward Andrew Oliver (Academy), junior midfielder Harrison Petts (PDL, Super-20), freshman forward Richard Ballard (Kentucky Fire Juniors) and sophomore goalkeeper Michael Soderlund (PDL, Super-20) in winning the national title.
Christianson was joined by sophomore midfielder Tom Skelly (PDL) in the Hoyas losing effort.
In total, seven of the eight Fire players took part in Sunday's final with only Soderlund standing in the wings for Indiana.

Oh, Tom Ford. The irrepressible, perfectly stubbled, always-tuxedo'd fashion icon debuted his eponymous line several seasons ago to much fanfare and even greater secrecy, and slowly, ever so slowly, the collection has started to leak out to more and more traditional retail channels. What we care about, of course, are the bags, and they've finally found their way to an online retailer for both our critical scrutiny and convenient shopping pleasure. There are few better ways to start a Friday morning.
It would be a little bit better if the designs themselves were more exciting, though. From someone like Tom Ford, I expected incredibly chic, anything-but-basic basics with exquisite details that would really set the collection apart. The bags are basic alright, but they don't feel particularly distinctive; the company is missing an opportunity to make a very important branding statement that it has executed more effectively in its beauty and fragrance lines. As expected, the prices are high - think Bottega Veneta, if not a bit higher. Check out the high points of the collection after the jump or shop the full assortment via NeimanMarcus.com.

Urbancode has announced that version 3.6 of its AnthillPro introduces Developer Pre-flight Builds. Pre-flight Builds let developers run a "test build" of their changes without committing the changes to source. At the push of a button, Pre-flight Builds integrate the developer's changes with a snapshot of the latest source code, and then run a build in the build environment -- not on the developer's machine. If a Pre-flight Build fails, the developer is immediately notified and the changes are not committed to source.
Because Pre-flight Builds run in the actual build environment, the individual developer gains access to software and hardware that would otherwise be inaccessible when running builds on their individual machines. Pre-flighted builds enable developers to parallelize test runs to reduce the time it takes to run the tests. This allows for greater assurance that the build will pass once the developer's changes are integrated.
While Pre-flight Builds do reduce the risk associated with broken builds, they are by no means a panacea. "The reality is that Pre-flight Builds can actually mask problems," said Urbancode President Maciej Zawadzki. "Heavy reliance on the Pre-flight Build to reduce broken builds can mask inappropriate workflows; hide integration problems; create longer and monolithic builds; and introduce bad development practices. Because of these factors, the Pre-flight Build is not a replacement for Continuous Integration as has been suggested among the vendor community."
AnthillPro 3.6 includes a wide range of new features, incliuding:
- Detailed Review of historical Test Results. AnthillPro allows a user to review the history of builds over a time range and then generate detailed reports. These trending and drill-down test reports allow product managers quick views into which areas of the application are having troubles and which areas are stabilizing and adding tests.
- Flexible Resource locking. In addition to existing named locks that can restrict access to certain shared resources, 3.6 introduces dynamic locks that can be created based on runtime workflow characteristics. This allows more fine-grained control over resource management.
- Mercurial integration. Users can create AnthillPro projects to use a Mercurial repository. The integration allows users to check out code, build, tag, and more.

A new Canadian report finds a direct connection between oil sand mining and elevated levels of cancer causing agents in regional water supplies.
The news is a blow for oil companies and the Canadian government, which rely on this method to tap the world's second largest oil reserve. It also hurts the case for the Keystone pipeline to link America to the sands.
I spent several days in Fort McMurray, and the expanse of mines surrounding the city, last year where residents said they understood mining held risks, but really just wanted some hard facts. Now, it looks like they've got them.
"I take my kids fishing to the lakes," one executive told me at the $270 million McDonald Island recreation park. "I don't let them swim in it, but I know some people do."
Probably not anymore, as the study found chemicals called PAHs up to 23 times higher than before oil sand mining. With production set to triple over the next 25 years, these levels will only go up and the study makes clear that the long-term effect on humans, and wildlife remains "unknown."

Ovarian cysts
Primary tabs
An ovarian cyst is a sac filled with fluid that forms on or inside an ovary.
This article is about cysts that form during your monthly menstrual cycle, called functional cysts. Functional cysts are not the same as cysts caused by cancer or other diseases.
Alternative Names
Physiologic ovarian cysts; Functional ovarian cysts; Corpus luteum cysts; Follicular cysts
Each month during your menstrual cycle, a follicle grows on your ovary. The follicle is where an egg is developing. Most months, an egg is released from this follicle, called ovulation. If the follicle fails to break open and release an egg, the fluid stays in the follicle and forms a cyst. This is called a follicular cyst.
Another type of cyst occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle. This is called a corpus luteum cyst. This type of cyst often contains a small amount of blood.
Ovarian cysts are more common in the childbearing years between puberty and menopause. The condition is less common after menopause.
Taking fertility drugs can cause a condition in which multiple large cysts are formed on the ovaries. This is called ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The cysts most often go away after a woman's period, or after a pregnancy.
Functional ovarian cysts are not the same as ovarian tumors, or cysts due to hormone-related conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome.
Ovarian cysts often cause no symptoms.
An ovarian cyst is more likely to cause pain if it:
- Becomes large
- Bleeds
- Breaks open
- Interferes with the blood supply to the ovary
- Is bumped during sexual intercourse
- Is twisted or causes twisting (torsion) of the fallopian tube
Symptoms of ovarian cysts can also include:
- Bloating or swelling in the abdomen
- Pain during bowel movements
- Pain in the pelvis shortly before or after beginning a menstrual period
- Pain with intercourse or pelvic pain during movement
- Pelvic pain -- constant, dull aching
- Sudden and severe pelvic pain, often with nausea and vomiting, may be a sign of torsion or twisting of the ovary on its blood supply, or rupture of a cyst with internal bleeding
Changes in menstrual periods are not common with follicular cysts, and are more common with corpus luteum cysts. Spotting or bleeding may occur with some cysts.
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider may discover a cyst during a pelvic exam, or when you have an ultrasound test for another reason.
Ultrasound may be done to diagnose a cyst. Your provider may want to check you again in 6 to 8 weeks to make sure it is gone.
Other imaging tests that may be done when needed include:
The following blood tests may be done:
- Ca-125 test, to look for possible cancer if you have an abnormal ultrasound or are in or past menopause
- Hormone levels (such as LH, FSH, estradiol, and testosterone)
- Pregnancy test (Serum HCG)
Functional ovarian cysts often do not need treatment. They often go away on their own within 8 to 12 weeks.
If you have frequent cysts, your provider may prescribe birth control pills (oral contraceptives). These medicines may reduce the risk of developing new ovarian cysts. Birth control pills do not decrease the size of current cysts.
Surgery to remove the cyst or ovary may be needed to make sure that it is not ovarian cancer. Surgery is more likely to be needed for:
- Complex ovarian cysts that do not go away
- Cysts that are causing symptoms and do not go away
- Simple ovarian cysts that are larger than 10 centimeters
- Women who are near menopause or past menopause
Types of surgery for ovarian cysts include:
- Exploratory laparotomy
- Pelvic laparoscopy to remove the cyst or the ovary
You may need other treatments if you have polycystic ovary syndrome or another disorder that can cause cysts.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Cysts in women who are still having periods are more likely to go away. A complex cyst in a woman who is past menopause has a higher risk of being cancer. Cancer is very unlikely with a simple cyst.
Possible Complications
Complications have to do with the condition causing the cysts. Complications can occur with cysts that:
- Bleed.
- Break open.
- Show signs of changes that could be cancer.
- Twist, depending on size of the cyst. Bigger cysts carry a higher risk.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your provider if:
- You have symptoms of an ovarian cyst
- You have severe pain
- You have bleeding that is not normal for you
Also call your provider if you have had following on most days for at least 2 weeks:
- Getting full quickly when eating
- Losing your appetite
- Losing weight without trying
If you are not trying to get pregnant and you often get functional cysts, you can prevent them by taking hormone drugs (such as birth control pills). These medicines prevent follicles from growing.

This was one of those "bridge" episodes.
Nothing really happened, but it set up a bunch of stuff.
Listen people: it's not my favorite thing either, but it's a thing.
So I don't need to give a spoiler alert here, because there isn't really anything to spoil. But I'll say that these things happened:

Mexican entrepreneur Cristian Castillo thinks avoiding investors is important.
Castillo, co-founder of instaDM, a messaging service for Instagram, doesn't consider himself a coder, but can hack his ideas into early-stage products.
He already has made a few apps that have gained traction.
For instance, instaDM lets people send direct messages to each other on Instagram and it has already been downloaded 150,000 times since it launched last week in the Apple App store.
He also ran a popular site in Mexico that has sent more than 10 million SMS messages.
Being able to see how the app does in the Apple App Store gives him real-time feedback and allows him to see which apps he should invest more time into.
He figures it is a numbers game.
"What I'm able to do is avoid investors and fail quickly, and move as needed," Castillo said.
His recipe for success is to develop 10 products a year and spend time on the ones that do well.
"At some point, in the past, I tried to go the 'easy' route and hire other people to do the coding, but the product takes longer and it's worse," Castillo said.
Founders who don't know how to code will usually develop one idea at a time. They are usually tied to that idea because of an investment, and can't move onto something else.

A screenshot from Watchitoo, an inventive and powerful new addition to the Web conferencing field. (Click for full size)
Here are our top choices for live streaming tools, webinars & employee collaboration online
Target audience: Nonprofits, brands, educators, foundations, NGOs, cause & community organizations, Web publishers, individuals. Updated Jan. 19, 2011.
The following guide, originally created by TechSoup Global, has been significantly updated and expanded by J.D. Lasica and Kim Bale of Socialbrite.
More and more nonprofits, businesses and entrepreneurs are turning to Web conferencing services to communicate with fellow staff members, customers, supporters and prospects.
A Web conference is a virtual meeting you conduct online, allowing you to share documents and applications from your computer with people in far-flung locations and to communicate with them via video, text or voice chat. Through Web conferencing, you can bring together employees to collaborate on a project, present webinars about your latest product or services, or train advocates or support staff.
While your organization likely uses email or conference calls for much of your long-distance communication, sometimes a full-blown virtual meeting is the only way to hammer out the details of an important initiative. Web conferencing lets anyone with an Internet connection and a Web browser meet and collaborate online in real time.
Some conferencing tools require participants to install a piece of software on their own computers before they can participate; other tools are entirely Web-based. All require an Internet connection. The tools differ in the features they provide for collaboration and communication. For instance, some let participants speak to one another through their computers' microphones while others let everyone interact via video. Still others have an option to join the audio part of the conference by a separate audio/telephone bridge.
To help you choose a service that suits your nonprofit, we've pointed out features commonly found in Web conferencing products and explained other considerations you should be aware of. Our list leaves out tools like Skype and Apple's iChat, which offer great video conferencing (video chat) and text chat for a limited number of people but don't offer full-on Web conferencing services that offer a wide range of collaboration capabilities.
When considering all of these great features, it's important to consider how these capabilities will affect your Local Area Network (LAN). For example, many of the products below include videoconferencing. One person using hosted videoconferencing at a location wouldn't add to much to local network issues. Multiple workers videoconferencing at the same time could slow the rest of your network traffic.
Whenever possible, try out the product before purchasing. Use the information below and on product websites to narrow your choices, then try the two or three products that best fit your needs.
Here is our comparison of 14 top Web conferencing services. If you have your own favorites, or have any updates or corrections, please share them in the comments!
Watchitoo: Multimedia collaboration
1We used Watchitoo during Personal Democracy Forum and the midterm elections and were impressed with its rich collaboration feature set. Watchitoo is a real-time collaboration platform where multimedia presentations meld with video conferencing to create a powerful stage for online communication. Its technology lets you easily host and participate in cutting-edge presentations that support multiple video feeds, screen sharing, white-boarding, API implementation, embedding capabilities and recording functionalities that enhance employee communication and collaboration.
Software required: Web-based, no download required.

Basic prices: Reservationless audio conferencing, 3.5 cents per minute per line. Operator-assisted audio conferencing, 18 cents per minute per line. Web conferencing: 6 cents per minute per connection — compare with WebEx at 33 cents per minute — or consider the flat-rate option. It supports up to 1,000 participants with no advance reservation required. Continue reading

Seeking the Signal in the Noise of Environmental Performance Metrics
This week CIESIN released, with its colleagues at Yale University, the 2012 Environmental Performance Index (EPI). Wherever possible we collected and processed data in time series, to permit not merely comparisons across countries but also consistent comparisons over time. This has made the EPI a much more powerful diagnostic tool because trends are often much more revealing than static patterns.
To take one illustration, consider overfishing. Globally, the picture is not pretty. On our 0-100 scale, the world average went from 34 in 2000 to 29 in 2010—twice as many countries got worse than got better.
One of the real pleasures of producing the EPI is the chance to work with fellow data geeks who help guide us to the most suitable information and help us structure it into meaningful indicators. For overfishing we turn to the Sea Around Us group at the University of British Columbia, led by Daniel Pauly and backed by a talented, hard-working team. They have done incredible work collecting all the available fishery statistics, uncovering and correcting major errors, making the numbers as comparable as possible, and putting together compelling, informative time series that reveal where overfishing is running rampant and where it is under control.
I asked the people at Sea Around Us where these numbers show meaningful success brought about by deliberate policy efforts. They pointed to Namibia as a clear example. In our 2000-2010 trend analysis, Namibia's score rises 34 percent. The policy success is even more dramatic when looking at the full time series assembled by Sea Around Us, which reveals that things were extremely bad in the early 1990s, with about 80 percent of the stocks in a collapsed state. By 2000 they had already improved considerably, and that improvement has continued to the present. A major driver of this change has been the elimination of foreign fishing fleets from the Namibian EEZ. Until Namibia established its EEZ in 1990, South African, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian vessels took the bulk of the catch (see figure, top). After 1990, Namibia restricted the access to its EEZ (NMFS, 2009), and was able to enforce restrictions. Consequently the catches of horse mackerel, chub mackerel, hake, anchovy, and monkfish declined briefly and can be attributed to the dramatic decrease in fishing effort expended in the Namibian EEZ by foreign fleets, rather than an actual decrease in the biomass of these species (see figure, second from top).
Being able to see such trends and link them to policy efforts makes possible the identification of leaders and laggards and holds open the promise of accountability and progress.

SOUTH HACKENSACK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Police have arrested a New York man after he was allegedly found with 33 fake identification and 13 credit cards after trying to use a fake card to purchase $10,000 in flooring at a New Jersey retailer.
Authorities say Anand Clifton Persaud, 60, gave a manager at Lumber Liquidators in South Hackensack a fake California ID with a matching Chase Visa card, and was apparently intoxicated while attempting to make the purchase.
Police responded to the scene and arrested Persaud on charges of credit card fraud, identity theft and hindering apprehension.
Further police investigation revealed 32 other identification cards with Persaud's face on them, authorities say.
Authorities say Persaud was sent to Bergen County Jail with a National Crime Information Center warrant out of Miami-Dade, Florida.

Video game income will acount for drastic reductions in next semes-ter's

New video games' income
reduces student tuition costs
by Jovan Gawkin'
A recent memo from the
dean's office has announced a
decrease in tuition costs for all
students. The possibility of
the decrease is due a phenom-enal
amount of unexpected in-come.
The source: video
The games have brought in
more than the yearly projec-tion
in just the past two
months. If use of the machine
continues at this rate, the
machines will bring in more
money to Bethel College than
tuition and housing payments
according to White Justsoup,
dean of the college.

of this year. "I thought
they would be played more,

The faculty walked out
yesterday at 12 noon as last
minute proposals failed to
prevent the strike. "We did
our best to propose new study
plans with the Teachers' As-sociation,
but they wouldn't
budge," said Steve Good-winkle,
BSA president.
All classes have been can-celled
indefinitely due to the
teachers strike. Jim Spickel-mier,
campus pastor and lead-er
of the TA, said, "Students
so busy that I don't really get
the time I need on the screen to
develop my finger dexterity.
I'm still pretty good though.
Sometimes I practice off-cam-pus,
but it's -rust not the same."
Dun Morkensin, director of
programming residents' lives,
said it has been suggested that
games be placed in other loca-tions
throughout the campus
or that the Student Union be
open 24 hours a day. "We've
thought about putting them in
the dorms and even in some
other areas of the academic
complex, but we're waiting on
that for now."
"We can't keep the Student
Union open during chapel be-cause
student and faculty at-tendance
would decrease dra-matically."
He continued, "Off
the record, the only chance we
(staff and administration)
have to play the games in
peace is after hours."

to Pac Man and the Ghost

year to make them honorary

40 study hours per
week for studying."
The teachers complain that
students were averaging far
below 40 study hours a week.
"A recent Carrion survey
showed that most students
weren't averaging even 20
study hours per week," said
Doc Dalton. "To show my
disapproval, I'm having my
corner removed."
"That survey was a real
cheap shot!" said student
Mike Dirks. "I study at least
21 hours a week."
"We proposed to study 30
hours a week in addition to
taking an increase in tuition
to compensate the teachers
for our wrongdoings," said
The teachers turned down
the proposal and made one of
their own. It called for the
removal of all television sets
and stereos from all student
residences until study hours
Goodwinkle disagreed, say-ing,
"I can't miss the North
Stars hockey games or the
Hines and Berglund show on
radio station WLOL."
Said Spickelmier, "We have
other beefs, too. The TA is
proposing to lower students'
grades one letter for each
chapel absence." An anony-mous
faculty member denied
faculty solidarity on this is-sue.
"What if they rook to see
if we're in chapel?"
A meeting between the two
groups is scheduled for later
today. The TA is expected to
stand firm and call for the
renewal of the 40-hour study
week. "The students are will-ing
to reach a compromise,
but we won't give up easily,"
said a tired Goodwinkle.
An inside source has hinted
that a federal mediator may
be sought to resolve the strike.

Wallbanger. "They drove

but rain washed it out and
increased its radius another

Quality date information
available from computer
by Jovan Gawkin'
Date-Mates, a new compu-ter
dating service, will be
available to interested male
students and faculty on Nov.
1. Date-Mates is operated by
computer science student Dan
Desperado said he's sick of
waiting around for women to
ask him and he just does not
have time to evaluate the Ros-ter
to find women to ask out.
"I decided to make my
move," he said. "This service
has information on all the
women at Bethel: those not
dating, those dating, those en-gaged
and those married.
Other important information
is also included."
Dr. Dill Boyle, professor of
computers, says Desperado
started the whole program as
a basic computer program for
organizing information. Boyle
said he sees the service as ben-eficial
and having great poten-tial
if it is expanded to include
consortium schools. Boyle
stated that some girls in the
computer class are planning to
start their own program of eli-gible
men and that they hope
to have it ready by Nik Dag.
"They were the ones who
came up with the idea to pro-gram
to other consortium
schools," said Boyle.
"There just isn't enough
man-quality on our campus,"
said Linda Loveless, computer
student. "This just will pro-vide
a wider selection. Some-thing
we would just really like
to do is collect feedback from
the girls after their first date
so we can include a ranking of
the guys-on our printout."
The purchasing outs will be
done through the student af-fairs
office. The print out will
include a list of students, dat-ing
status, if they have trans-portation,
cooking abilities,
the number of Bible courses on
their transcripts, and nights

Last night in Stockholm,
Sweden, before a crowd of
screaming young women, Don
Mortenson received the Nobel
Peace Prize. Mortenson, the
dirctor for residence life at
Bethel, won the award for dis-covering
the historic fountain
of youth.
Acording to Mortenson it
was all an accident. One after-noon
Mortenson decided to
take a walk on the Bethel cam-pus.
He hoped for inspiration
on the wellness program.
As Mortenson walked along
the creek which cuts through
the campus, he thought it
might be fun to race a couple
of sticks down the creek. Tho-roughly
involved in this play
Mortenson unknowingly me-andered
off into the thick
woods of the adjoining semi-nary.
Not wanting to get lost, he
decided to quit the game and
head back to school. However,
he could not help but notice a
bubbling sound coming from a
nearby ditch. Being the direc-tor
of resident life, and know-ing
the reputation of Sem Hill
as a frequent rendezvous for
couples, Mortenson decided to
check things out.
To his surprise Mortenson
found a spring in the ditch.
Assuming it was a fresh-wa-ter
spring, he dipped his
handy canteen into the spring
to bring back some water for
fellow director of resident life,
Greg Hamann.
After sampling the water,
both directors felt totally reju-venated
and proceded to get
high scores on the video
"It is the fountain of youth!"
said Hamane.
"No, it is a gold mine!" re-plied
Mortenson has been secre-tive
about the location of the
spring. "It could be a dan-gerous
thing in the right
hands," he noted.
Don Mortenson wins Nobel Prize.
Mortenson was recognized
by the Nobel selection com-mittee
because the water has
been used for the good of man-kind.
It is now known that the
spring water (or as Mortenson
calls it, "Morterier") was a
principle factor in the Middle-
East peace talks, the recent
Camp David summit, and the
Bethel Student Union debate
on the Beef Board.
Morterier has gained the re-spect
of many celebrities;
many were on hand in
Stockholm for the presenta-tion.
"Well, now," said P-resident
Reagan, "Mort is one of the
great people of this country
making our nation strong."
"He can be very threaten-ing,"
said Arnold Schwartz-enauger.
"We are very high on him,"
said Viking head coach Bud
Mortenson, however, has
tried to avoid public attention
at all costs. "I have received
offers for large sums of mon-ey,
positions of power and the
job of director of resident life
at Wheaton College. But it is
important for me to remain
humble. After all, anyone
could have discovered the wa-ter."
Nevertheless Mortenson
has agreed to appear in a
made-for-television movie on
his quest for Morterier.
Reactions to Mortenson's
new-found fame have been
mixed on Bethel campus.
"Big deal," was the popular
response in the weight room.
"Anyone can race sticks,"
said Rod Long, director of
"He's simply dreamy,"
chanted a chorus of young
"It couldn't have happened
to a nicer guy," said his wife
A Russian submarine was
spotted last week submerged
in the treacherous waters of
lake Valentine. Minutes later,
through a well-organized and
efficient attack, the Bethel
security unit, under the able
command of Physical Plant
Director Jim Beam, captured
the sub.
Elvira Mickelsen, assistant
professor of journalism, spot-ted
the submarine. She noticed
it while jogging around Lake
Valentine. "As I was trying to
get the kinks out of my cast
by running, I looked out over
the lake and saw this peri-scope
sticking out of the
water," said Mickelsen. "I
thought to myself, 'Oh no!
This means trouble,' so I
kicked it into high gear and
sprinted back to campus to
tell Beam.
Beam told of the whole ex-perience
this way: "After we
were alerted to the presence
of an intruder, I rounded up
the entire maintenance crew.
We loaded up the canoes that
are docked by the lake and set
out for sea. We surrounded
the sub and forced it to sur-face
by dropping lutefisk
charges. We captured the 6-
man Soviet crew and imme-diately
ticketed them for park-ing
illegally in a fire lane.
"All of them refused to talk
about themselves and their
reasons for being here," said
Beam. "We used every means
of torture we could possibly
think of. The captain finally
gave in when we threatened
to force him to take out a
Bethel girl. He figured that
was a fate worse than death,
so he told all."
"As it turned out, the mis-sion
came to Bethel to spy on
the Swedes," said Beam.
"Since their last attempt off
the coast of Sweden was foil-ed,
they decided to put plan B
into action. They figured since
Bethel has the next largest
concentration of Swedes in
the world, it would be the
second best target."
It has been rumored that
when the Swedish royalty
visits Bethel, Beam and the
entire maintenance crew will
be given special medals in
recognition of service beyond
the call of duty in the interest
of preserving Bethel's Scan-dinavian

Nov. 1 will mark the first
day of action for the IM Water
Polo league, just formed this
According to IM head hon-cho
Claig Hlauglan, there are
eight teams signed up and
ready to go, despite the fact
that a recent survey indicated
only 17 people at Bethel know
what water polo is.
Hlauglan thinks that the
decision to hold games in Lake
Valentine is a good one.
"The clear, clean, unclutter-ed
waters of Lake Valentine
should make for some really
exciting matches," said Hlaug-lan.
The IM department was
also able to secure funding for
the installment of bleachers
on Sem Hill, so fans can enjoy
this exciting aquatic action.
"Sem Hill is never used for
anything anyway," noted
Hlauglan, "so we thought it
would be a perfect place for
the bleachers."
The team members are ex-cited
and ready to go. Sopho-more
Mitch Ohlendoof, cap-tain
of the Fetid Marshes,
said that he is really looking
forward to seeing his team's
abilities this season.
"I'm really looking forward

A post on the game's official blog says that registered Undisputed community members will get a chance at a batch of download codes for the demo before it goes out to the general public. No other requirements for the code are given, so it probably means that they have a fixed batch on a first-come/first-served basis, and how long you've been a member of the site doesn't figure into eligibilty.
The whole shebang is pending approval by Microsoft and Sony, but if you're this much of an MMA diehard, go register and watch their boards.

From South Africa Rock Climbing Routes Wiki
Start View the topo on the photograph. The route traverses in from the right and the start is marked with a cairn place on a block.
- Pitch 1 : (19) 52m Do a couple of moves up the white rock and place a high large cam. Crank through to a jug - a bit rounded if you are short. Continue straight up the good quality grey rock to a ledge at 35m or so. Start up the obvious recess and step right onto the face and continue to a ledge at the base of the orange rock.
- Pitch 2 : (19) 40m Head for the left leaning recessed ramp and continue to below a large overhang. Climb through the overhang on the right. One can place excellent gear at the lip from an under-cling in the corner under the over-hang. Make sure you have very long slings to avoid drag if you choose to leave gear in the rail under the overhang. Swing out right and climb diagonally up right avoiding the chossy channel on the left. Follow the good rock diagonally right passing the first triangular overhang and continue past the second, larger triangular overhang on the right and then straight up as per the topo to a belay ledge or, if you can manage the drag combine the next pitch to stance on a large ledge.
- Pitch 3 : (19) 12m Continue over grey rock more or less straight up but tending right to a large ledge system. Move back left and belay below left leaning gray flakes 3m above you.
- Pitch 4 (19) 40m Place a 1 inch cam up on the right. Climb up the flakes first using jugs and then lay-back after placing the very obvious 2.5 inch cam (gold camelot or equivalent). Above you are huge roofs. Move up to under the roof and then pull through the obvious notch to find yourself under another massive roof system. Exit this on the right and then climb straight up the arete to belay left of a large yellow wood tree/bush.
- Pitch 5 : (18) 20m Climb the obvious recess using the flakes and then do a crank through the overlap to continue more easily to the top.
FA: C Edelstein, Deon Van Zyl February 2014
(See Topo on photograph)
Descent is an elegant and relatively safe 4 abseils. 60m ropes are recommended.
Walk horizontally right for 60m along the ledge system to a point round the corner and find a thread below you in an obvious recess.
- 1. Abseil about 10m to a large ledge.
- 2. Look around at the back of the ledge and find a threaded rap point and biner. Abseil 50m or so and you find a point over a horn kept in place by a rock.

Below is the discussion that's been going on between Gary, John and myself. This is only 1 topic but it's been jumping around between several other topics that I've posted. The below one Gary posted under his account because of a post I did on my account. I figure he wanted to show all his friends how he could own me in a discussion about religious topics.
What's your opinion and any additional suggestions?
Gary:If the rise in water levels never happened then why are they finding ancient marine life fossils in Wyoming and Mongolia? Man was proven by scientists and archeaologists to have been around before the iceage occurred. Archeologists and scientists have stated that as the demise of the iceage happened, the melting caused massive flooding everywhere. This is what the Bible is referring to.......
Gary: Nice try again non-believers! LOL
Jeff :Actually if you do the math, you'd find out that it's impossible to have that much water on earth...but hey.....whatever story you want to trip by.
Jeff : I'll make it easy for you: http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/earthhowmuch.html
Gary But according to geologists and archeaologists and anthropologists the whole world was covered at one time by water. Water receded eventually to form land masses from which life forms (amphibians) came to be. These are evolutionist words remember? We learned this in school?
Gary: +Oh wait! In the Bible that is referred to in Genesis 8:3.
Jeff: Again.....there's not enough water to flood the Earth but as you know.....we have floods in areas all the time. Guess he should have just told Noah to take a couple Ox and a wagon and go a hundred miles left or right and he would of been safe but instead .........ship buildin' time. We won't even get into the animal part of that story..I'd laugh too hard to hold a discussion about it.
Gary:How many times do I have to tell you......DON'T TAKE THE BIBLE VERBATUM, JEFF! It is a group of stories that are there to teach you something. Many are written down from lore but the basis is all the same no matter how far the truth might... be stretched and embellished. Evolution has done nothing to disprove the Bible but only in timeline but overall it has strengthened it. Seriously like I stated before..... How did they know to write of a great flood with no scientific proof? But then you can ask youself exactly what was the flood? was it worldwide or regional? There is so much evidence that water did cover the earths surface at one time. Is this not what the Bible states?
Jeff : Oh wait.....first you tell me don't take the bible verbatum.....then in the same post you "is this not what the bible states?" LOL Actually Evolution has done much more....DNA shows the tree of life for all living creatures...
John:The biblical story of Noah is a great testimony to the faith of the ancient Israelites, and it probably relates to some great flood that occurred prior to the written word, but I have to side with Jeff in regard the science. Fossils that a...re located high in the mountains (or under the Loess Hills) were formed undersea but thrust upward by forces under the Earth's crust. So, where did the Great Flood actually occur? I'm inclined to agree with those who think it was the floor of what's now the Black Sea. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/blacksea/ax/frame.html The timing is right, the geography is right, and the circumstances are convincing.
Gary: You are digging Jeff, you know what I meant! LOL I am not arguing the evolutionary tree of life, What I am saying is that the Bible explains this also.....therefore Creationism and Evolution can co-exist.
Gary: I am in agreement with you John. It is either there or in the Arabian Sea area. They have found evidence from Satillite imaging of the sea actually having been twice the size it was and just shy of the city of Basra on it's northeren boundry.
Jeff : actually the bible doesn't Gary, Adam and Eve is where the bible states as the starting point. So far a 160,000 year old skull from a human has been found in Africa, so that's about 154,000 years older than when life was poofed into the garden. ;-)
John : Agreed, but I'm not a biblical literalist and once again the story is a great statement of faith that contains a grain of truth--a time when all of humankind relates back to a very small group of individuals sharing common ancestry.
Gary : Most agreed John. Well said
Gary : And the first cities/civilizations were located in what is now modern day Iraq, somewhere between Baghad and Basra along the Eurphrates and Tigris rivers, Jeff. So what is your point?
Jeff : Point being the oldest known human has been found in Africa NOT the middle east. Let me guess.......the middle east back then was located in today's Africa.....you just have to have faith to understand the reasoning behind the old location.
Gary: Excuse me, they found one older in China now. Read the newspaper!
Jeff : Here's a 160,000 yr old one....what's the chile one? 145,000 ? http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1295624
Jeff: Here Gary this will explain DNA and where we came from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeQk5l0OHTg&feature=share
Jeff : Does this sound like anyone you know?
1. a. a ruler who is not effectively restricted by a constitution, laws, recognized opposition, etc
b. an absolute, esp tyrannical, ruler
Jeff : Oops, I did some searching and there's even an older human 195,000 years old from Kenya. Again, from Africa.
Jeff : here's the info: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/about-us/news/2005/feb/news_3639.html
Views: 64
Should have mentioned that you can find marine fossils on mountains because of plate tectonics and geological forces. It's the land that has risen. Not the water that has gone down.
But then, these people are very far gone. Gary a lot more so than John though. John at least seems to acknowledge that the flood (if it's really the same one) was a localized event at best.
Yeah, John doesn't go that far out on a limb with made up stuff like Gary does. Gary tried to tell me that the bible didn't say anything about Noah being in the Ark for 150 days. Of course I had to tell him to read Genesis 7:24 Oops......guess Gary missed that part when he was reading the bible.
I've notice that when they get put into a corner....faith comes leaping out of them for an answer because they can't find an answer to the problem that I questioned them about.
I don't know much about geology, so I can't comment on that. I like that you site your sources, don't like that Gary and John don't. This statement tells a lot about Gary:
"Gary:How many times do I have to tell you......DON'T TAKE THE BIBLE VERBATUM, JEFF! It is a group of stories that are there to teach you something. Many are written down from lore but the basis is all the same no matter how far the truth might... be stretched and embellished."
If the bible is just a group of stories then why should we believe any of them? Why should I believe in Noah's flood or the resurrection. It seems that he thinks that the bible meant for personal interpretation, but according to 2 Peter 1:20, "knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation," it's not. Either accept the bible for what it says or don't. Besides, what makes his interpretation better?
Gary just wants to play dumb is all. It's rather sad. At least he should study science before going blind with faith.
Alex, he just used the verbatim statement to get out of answering the question, he does that alot. Hopefully he'll site some sources but then again maybe he won't because I'll shoot right back at him to prove him wrong again.
I wasn't even really into science when I became an Atheist, I just read the bible and that was enough for me. You'd have to be brain-dead not to see the BS in that book.
Yeah I'm reading it right now and I'm already tired of all the BS.
When someone makes a statement I don't understand or know the reasoning behind, I always get them to clarify it before moving on. In that way I never let people make a statement to just get out of answering a question. I guess I'm nit-picky that way.
Well I guess Gary gave up the discussion, since I haven't heard any response from him since my last post with the link. But I'm sure he'll pipe in on something in the future again and attempt to make an Atheist look bad. I think the next time he pipes up and request source links for anything he states since he never does that.
Gary's back at it again:
Oh boy. One could write books just about the evolution of a single species. Let alone all of life.
Refer him to some websites or books. It's really pointless to waste time explaining things to him. He is just a troll

For years the eLearning industry has categorized custom solutions into three or more levels of interactivity– from basic to complex, simple to sophisticated. The implication also being that that learning effectiveness increases with each higher level of interactivity.
You don't have to look hard to find them:
Levels of Interactivity in eLearning: Which one do you need?
How Long Does it Take to Create Learning?
These kinds of categorizations surely originated in the vendor community as they sought ways to productize custom development and make it easier for customers to buy standard types of e-learning. I won't quibble that "Levels of interactivity" has helped simplify the selling/buying process in the past but it's starting to outlive it's usefulness. And they are a disservice to intelligent buyers of e-learning. Here's why:
1. The real purpose is price standardization
Levels of interactivity are usually presented as a way to match e-learning level to learning goals. You've seen it–Level 1 basic/rapid is best for information broadcast, level 2 for knowledge development and level 3 and beyond for behaviour change or something to that effect. However, in reality very simple, well designed low end e-learning can change behavior and high end e-learning programs can wow while provide no learning impact whatsoever.
If vendors were honest the real purpose of "levels of interactivity" is to standardize pricing into convenient blocks to make e-learning easier to sell and purchase. "How much is an hour of level 2 e-learning again? OK, I'll take three of those please". each level of e-learning comes with a pre-defined scope that vendors can put a ready price tag on.
It's a perfectly acceptable product positioning strategy, but it's not going to get you the best solution to resolving your skill or knowledge issue.
2. Interactivity levels artificially cluster e-learning features and in doing so reduce choice
Most definitions of what features are included in each of the "levels" are vague at best. Try this definition from Brandon Hall in wide use:
It's hard to imagine looser definitions of each level. In fact there are a variety of factors that drive scope and effort (and therefore price) in a custom e-learning program. And they go well beyond "interactivity". They include interface choices, type and volume of graphics and media, instructional strategies, existence and quality of current content, and yes, the type and complexity of user interactions.
Each of these features has a range of choices within them, but the levels of interactivity approach tends to cluster everything into one bucket and call it a level. It might look something like the following:
A Level 1 program is essentially a template based page turner with a few relevant (or maybe not so relevant) stock images and interactivity limited to some standard multiple choice self checks. In contrast, a Level III program is loaded with custom designed interface, user controls, media and graphics, along with with complex interactions assumed to be required for simulations and scenarios. Level 2 is the middle choice most buyers and vendors alike are happy to land on. None of these choices, by the way, has anything to do with accomplishing a desired learning outcome–but that's another discussion.
If this artificial clustering of features was ever true, it's not any longer. Advanced simulations and scenarios can be created with very basic media and user interface features. Advanced custom interface and controls with rich custom media are often used to support simple information presentation with very little interactivity. Powerful scenario based learning can be created with simple levels of interactivity. Rapid e-learning tools once relegated to the Level 1 ghetto, can create quite advanced programs and custom HTML/Flash can just as easily churn out page turners. Out-of-the box avatars can be created in minutes.
This clustering of features into three groups gives you less choice that you would receive at your local Starbucks. If I'm a customer with a learning objective that is best served by well produced video and animations followed by an on the job application exercise, I'm not sure what level I would be choosing. A good e-learning vendor will discuss and incorporate these options into a price model that matches the customer requirement.
3. It reduces effectiveness and creativity
Forcing solutions into one of three or four options stunts creative thinking and pushed the discussion towards media and interactivity rather than closing a skill gap where it should be.
4. It hurts informed decision making
It appears to create a common language but actually reinforces the myth that there are only three or four types of e-learning. The combinations of media, interactivity and instructional approaches are as varied as the skill and knowledge gaps they are meant to address.
5. It encourages a narrow vision of e-learning
e-Learning has morphed into new forms. Pure e-learning is already in decline being cannibalized by mobile and social learning and the glorious return of performance support. These approaches are much more flexible and nimble at addressing knowledge and skill gaps.

COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka has refused a visa request for a U.S. State Department official, the U.S. Embassy said on Tuesday, after Washington signaled it would propose a U.N. resolution against the South Asian state over alleged war crimes.
However, Sri Lanka's External Affairs Ministry said the embassy's statement "was not a correct representation of the facts", adding the dates for the proposed trip had not been convenient.
Tensions rose after U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Nisha Biswal voiced frustration on Saturday over Sri Lanka's failure to punish military personnel responsible linked to reported atrocities in a civil war that the Colombo government won in 2009 against separatist Tamil rebels.
Biswal, speaking after a two-day visit to Colombo, said Washington would put forward a third U.N. human rights resolution against Sri Lanka in March to address the allegations because its rights climate has been worsening.
The U.S. Embassy said the Sri Lankan government had turned down a visa application for Catherine Russell, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for global women's issues, and it called the decision "regrettable".
Russell had been scheduled to visit Sri Lanka in line with her mandate to promote stability, peace, and development by empowering women politically, socially and economically.
"The United States will continue to raise important issues related to gender-based violence, the impact that the conflict had on families (particularly female-headed households), the need for greater economic empowerment by women, and for greater political participation by women across Sri Lanka," the embassy said in an emailed statement.
Biswal said that during her visit people in Sri Lanka's former northern war zone referred to a range of human rights abuses including the disappearance of civilians.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa's government, which finally crushed the rebellion of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) 26 years after it erupted, has rejected calls for an international inquiry, saying this would be aimed only at pleasing a large Tamil diaspora living in Western countries.
Senior U.S. officials declined to say what would be in the planned resolution, but embassy officials said it might repeat the call for an international investigation in Sri Lanka.
The External Affairs Ministry on Wednesday said the relevant U.S. authorities were advised by the ministry that the dates proposed for the visit were not convenient.
"Rescheduling of a visit does not amount to refusal of a visa. The position was fully and clearly explained to the U.S. Embassy," the ministry said in a statement.
Sri Lanka has rejected U.S. criticism of its human rights record as "grossly disproportionate".
A U.N. panel has assessed that around 40,000 mainly Tamil civilians died in the final few months of the war. Both sides committed atrocities, but army shelling killed most victims, it concluded.
Rajapaksa, speaking at Independence Day celebrations on Tuesday, said unidentified foreigners were trying to use "northern people", a reference to ethnic Tamils, as "human shields".
"The invaders always came to our country shedding oceans of crocodile tears. They interfered ... putting forward claims to protect human rights, establish democracy and the rule of law," he said.

Alo, I'm Moi Sanom. I like to write about things. Sometimes they are Makeup things or Asian Cosmetics things and often also Art and Film things. If you like to read about things as much as I like to write about them, maybe you can join me on 35th of May. A place that exists between night and day and here or there. I bring things from the outer world to this place to review them for use in the......real world.

Madonna: Queen of the MET Gala 2013
I can hear half of you agreeing, and the other half bitching that she's an old hag. Come on. This isn't a Gossip Girl ball, is it? Really, what did you expect from Madonna at the MET Gala Punk Night? Remember this? What do you think she was saying to herself when she put this together? Do you think she was hoping that you'd like it? Of course not.
On nights like this, what stands out is the sense of humour. Note that that crucifix is hanging strategically below her crack. And her body is still tight as sh-t. And she spent the night surrounded by celebrity fans and of course her young boyfriend Brahim Zaibat, who's around to fetch things for her, and is still a part of the dance ensemble, and has not been promoted into a senior position on her tour...
That's how it's done, Bears.
