First week of the season at Lakeside
The Preacher of the week at Lakeside this week is Rev. Dr. John A. Nunes, President of Concordia College, New York. He said yesterday at church his talks would be on the infantilization of adults and the adultification of children--I think it's based on a book, but I've forgotten the author, as there have been more than one with that theme. I plan to attend (9:15), at least today, but it's awfully hot. At 10:30 is children's author Jill Hardie and at 1:30 is Richard Cowdrey who illustrates children's books. At 3:30 the curator from Mazza Museum (Findlay, OH, children's books) will g... more »
TRUMP WILL NEVER BE A POPULAR PRESIDENT, BECAUSE FIGHTING IS A COMPULSION
I'm so old I remember the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore -- oh, wait, that was a week ago. It was one of the rare moments in the Trump presidency that seemed at all unifying. Here are some results from a Monmouth University poll released last Thursday: Opinion of the president’s job performance may have been helped by the talks with the North Korean leader. Trump’s overall rating currently stands at 43% approve and 46% disapprove. The last time Trump’s *disapproval* rating was less than 50% in Monmouth’s polling was last September.... Most Americans (71%) say that the recent meeting ... more »

*What Do Test Scores Really Mean for the Economy?* Stagnant NAEP scores spell trouble ahead for the U.S. economy It is increasingly common to hear public statements downplaying the results of student tests.

*Global warming may have ‘devastating’ effects on rice* *This is a lulu of a study. They didn't actually study warming at all. They just studied CO2 levels. They thus ignored that warming would produce more rice per acre. In warm Indonesia, they get two crops a year. The extra CO2 also produced more rice, of course. But the average nutrient content of the rice grains decreased -- which is what you would expect from bigger crops using the same amount of land.So the only interesting question was the TOTAL amount of nutrients captured from the given acreage by the expanded c... more »

Indicting a President Is Not Foreclosed: The Complex History
Can a sitting president be indicted? Often, in answering this question, commentators point to Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinions answering in the contrary. To whatever extent the writer agrees or disagrees with the opinions’ conclusion, the government’s position on the matter is usually presented as a long-standing and clear “no.” The reality is more complicated. The United States has addressed this question six times in both internal memos and briefs filed in litigation. And a review of these documents shows that it is far from clear what criminal prosecution steps are (or s... more »

Ruger introduced its PC9 carbine some months ago, and it's been selling like hot cakes - so much so that it's very difficult to get hold of one. Most gunshops can't keep them on the shelves.

In the *Critique of Judgement*, Immanuel Kant characterizes the aesthetic idea as a presentation of the imagination which inspires an unrestricted reflection on the significance of some idea or concept. The Kantian conception of aesthetic idea consists of three notions. First, there is a rational idea, which is an abstract notion, typically of moral significance that is not a part of our experience, such as eternity or creation, and whose full significance is not part of our experience, such as death or love. This rational idea can be regarded as the content of the work of art at t... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Giant elliptical galaxy M60 and spiral galaxy NGC 4647 do look like an odd couple in this sharp cosmic portrait from the Hubble Space Telescope. But they are found in a region of space where galaxies tend to gather, on the eastern side of the nearby Virgo Galaxy Cluster. * Click image for larger size.* About 54 million light-years distant, bright M60's simpler egg-like shape is created by its randomly swarming older stars, while NGC 4647's young blue stars, gas and dust are organized into winding arms rotating in a flattened disk.

The Poet: Aldous Huxley, "Lightly"
*"Lightly"* "It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me. When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic. No rhetoric, no tremolos, no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell. And of course, no theology, no metaphysics. Ju... more »

“Beyond The Porch-Light of Language”
*“Beyond The Porch-Light of Language”* by Chet Raymo "The title of this post is another phrase from the poet Pat Boran. A lovely image, evoking friends in rocking chairs sipping ice tea or gin-and-tonics on a drowsy summer night. Out there in the darkness lightnin' bugs flash their sleepy semaphores. Somewhere afar off heat lightnin' illuminates the horizon. Our language drifts into the dark. We have words too for stars, for black holes and quasars, for the cosmic microwave background radiation.

THE TIMES GETS MELANIA'S STATEMENT RIGHT, THE POST GETS IT WRONG
*The New York Times* has come in for a lot of criticism in the Trump era, much of it deserved. The *Times* is often compared unfavorably to the Trump-era *Washington Post.* But the *Post*'s Karen Tumulty gets this absolutely wrong: Melania Trump, the most reticent first lady since Pat Nixon, has done an admirable thing. She has lent her voice to those who oppose the Trump administration’s heinous policy of separating migrant children from their parents. The statement issued through her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham, cautious as it is, bears careful reading: “Mrs. Trump hates to se... more »
"If You Think 'Rights Don’t Exist,' You are Contributing to the Collapse of Civilization"
*"If You Think 'Rights Don’t Exist,' * *You are Contributing to the Collapse of Civilization"* By Joe Jarvis Via The Daily Bell "To say “I don’t believe in rights,” is like saying, “I don’t believe in language.” Uttering the phrase contradicts your claim. Humans created language in order to constructively communicate. Language is real because people agree on the meaning of words. In the same vein, humans created the concept of rights to facilitate peaceful human interaction. Rights are real because people agree (sometimes without realizing it) on what constitutes a right. Even as s... more »

U.S. Cyber Command Has Been Told To Go On The Offensive
*WRAL/New York Times:* *Pentagon Puts Cyberwarriors on the Offensive, Increasing the Risk of Conflict* WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has quietly empowered the United States Cyber Command to take a far more aggressive approach to defending the nation against cyberattacks, a shift in strategy that could increase the risk of conflict with the foreign states that sponsor malicious hacking groups. Until now, the Cyber Command has assumed a largely defensive posture, trying to counter attackers as they enter American networks.

Avoiding World War III in Asia
*Parag Khanna* *Security, Asia* Democratic peace theory is both inspirational and aspirational—but at this moment in history it is of limited applicability. World War II still hasn’t ended, yet World War III already looms. When China and Japan agreed to normalize relations in 1945, it was stipulated that the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands (a string of uninhabited rocks equidistant from Japan, China and Taiwan) would not be militarized and the dispute would be put off for future generations. That future is here. The recent discovery of large oil and gas reserves under the islands... more »
