INNOVATION anticipates a breakthrough in scholarly understanding of the medieval origins of modern Western philosophy. This breakthrough will be achieved by exposing the pioneering nature of early thirteenth-century Franciscan thought and its pivotal significance for the subsequent formation of the Western philosophical identity. The work of early Franciscans has largely been neglected in scholarly circles, on the assumption that they merely codified the work of past authorities, where later Franciscans developed innovative ideas that laid the foundation for the development of modern philosophy. INNOVATION will contest this assumption by producing the first comprehensive study of the sources, method, content, and later medieval reception of early Franciscan thought. In conducting this study, I will implement a groundbreaking method of reading scholastic texts, which is attentive to the way that practice informed theory in the high Middle Ages. This ‘practice-led’ hermeneutic will provide a resource for re-envisaging the entire state of the art in the study of scholasticism. As regards early Franciscans, it will allow me to identify novelty, often due to the use of Islamic sources, where past scholars have perceived unoriginality. On this basis, I will highlight previously unnoticed connections between the early and late Franciscan schools. By these means, I will illustrate how Western thought has been nourished by the ethos of a particular religious order and by Islamic thought, pointing up a shared Muslim-Western philosophical identity that is often overlooked but urgently needed to overcome severe fractures in today’s society. At the same time, I will emphasize that Franciscan ideas only became modern once removed from their practice-led context. In juxtaposing the cultural paradigms of philosophy and religious practice, consequently, I will advance knowledge by producing the first nuanced scholarly account of the Franciscan origins of modern Western thought.

If owning many types of military grade weapons can be prohibited, then we can infer the existence of a legal limit on the destructive power available to citizens, beyond which the Second Amendment affords no protection. Current gun laws like the NFA cite arbitrary measures like barrel length and caliber size, but that’s an indirect measure that can create bizarre restrictions on some types of firearms but not others. A better approach would be a logical and explicit description of the threshold between legal and illegal arms . . .
For example, the limits of a weapon’s stopping power might be determined relative to a select sample of material (eg. kevlar, steel, unreinforced masonry) at fixed distances (point blank, 10 meters, 100 meters, 1000 meters). The maximum permitted values might then be set to the capabilities of, say, a modern .50 rifle.
Similarly, the limits of a weapon’s spread could be determined by the average impact energy of an individual projectile and the total impact energy of all projectiles at fixed radii (1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters). As for semi-automatic and automatic weapons, the same methods of measurement would be used but with limits focused on the aggregate penetration and/or impact energy that could be delivered in given time intervals ( 1 second, 10 seconds, and 100 seconds).
This would avoid ad-hoc amendments to gun control laws, provide a rational framework for manufacturers to experiment with new products, and better accommodate future advances that may not use traditional chemical propellants and/or delivery systems. But in talking to some gun enthusiasts, I’ve found a genuine reluctance in a straight-forward approach to regulation. If the federal government should “reasonably regulate” firearms (and that pertains to all matter of weaponry), then what ought to be the operational principle?


The organiser of a charity vintage car and bike meet held in Scalford at the weekend said it still proved popular, despite the Bank Holiday rain.
Many of the scheduled attractions during the event at The Old Brickyard Tea Garden on Sunday had to be held inside because of poor weather.
Owner Anna Stasinska said: “We had a super fundraising day.
“Everyone came despite the rain, well everyone except all the vintage cars and bikes understandably, but we still had half a dozen old vehicles turn up.
“Luckily C&C Plants’ wonderful polytunnel saved the day.
“We had 15 super art and craft stalls, the Grantham Danserye dancers performed in Poldark period costumes, live music and singing and the charity tombola which raised £115 for Hope Against Cancer.”

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with electric remodeling and increased arrhythmia risk, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In the experiments here, functional voltage-gated (Kv) and inwardly rectifying (Kir) K channel remodeling was examined in a mouse model of pressure overload-induced LVH, produced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Action potential durations (APDs) at 90% repolarization in TAC LV myocytes and QTc intervals in TAC mice were prolonged. Mean whole-cell membrane capacitance (Cm) was higher, and Ito,f, IK,slow, Iss, and IK1 densities were lower in TAC, than in sham, LV myocytes. Although the primary determinant of the reduced current densities is the increase in Cm, IK,slow amplitudes were decreased and Iss amplitudes were increased in TAC LV cells. Further experiments revealed regional differences in the effects of LVH. Cellular hypertrophy and increased Iss amplitudes were more pronounced in TAC endocardial LV cells, whereas IK,slow amplitudes were selectively reduced in TAC epicardial LV cells. Consistent with the similarities in Ito,f and IK1 amplitudes, Kv4.2, Kv4.3, and KChIP2 (Ito,f), as well as Kir2.1 and Kir2.2 (IK1), transcript and protein expression levels were similar in TAC and sham LV. Unexpectedly, expression of IK,slow channel subunits Kv1.5 and Kv2.1 was increased in TAC LV. Biochemical experiments also demonstrated that, although total protein was unaltered, cell surface expression of TASK1 was increased in TAC LV. Functional changes in repolarizing K currents with LVH, therefore, result from distinct cellular (cardiomyocyte enlargement) and molecular (alterations in the numbers of functional channels) mechanisms.

As far as Mario Lemieux comebacks go, it was far from a classic. But it didn't matter to the jersey-clad Penguins fans who took in the alumni game at Heinz Field on Friday morning.
Lemieux was the star attraction in the tune-up to Saturday's Winter Classic — playing for the first time in a public setting since his second retirement from the NHL in January 2006.
The 45-year-old owner of the Penguins has been skating in some pickup games with other members of the organization to get in shape and appears to still have the great hands that made him a three-time Hart Trophy winner and six-time NHL scoring champion. Other parts of his body weren't quite as sharp.
Crosby's streak more impressive: Mario
In Mario Lemieux's eyes, Sidney Crosby is in the midst of a season that has eclipsed anything he accomplished during a Hall of Fame career.
Crosby currently leads the NHL with 32 goals and 65 points and had a 25-game point streak stopped in Long Island on Wednesday night. Even though Lemieux once recorded at least a point in 46 straight games, he believes Crosby's achievement was superior.
"I think it's much tougher now to dominate the way the league is set up," said Lemieux. "For him to go out there and do the things he does every night, every shift, is incredible. His talent is unbelievable -- his strength, skating abilities, his shooting ability has gotten better the last couple years.
"What he's doing now is much more impressive than what I did years ago."
He is most familiar with Crosby, who spent five years living with Lemieux and his family before moving out on his own this year. The owner believes the key to his captain's success lies in his preparation.
"He thinks about hockey 24 hours a day, even in his sleep it seems like," said Lemieux.
"The legs are not very good," Lemieux said during the game.
Super Mario played in a Winter Classic tuque complete with pom-pom and wasted no time making an impact. He set up Rob Brown for the opening goal a little over four minutes into a game.
"It took 23 years but he finally got me my 50th [goal]," quipped Brown.
Lemieux also earned an assist on a power-play goal by Ron Francis in a game that saw the Penguins legends tie the Capitals alumni 5-5 in front of roughly 10,000 fans.
Organizers could easily have sold more tickets, but were concerned about having the stadium ready for Saturday afternoon's Winter Classic game between Pittsburgh and Washington. Some current members of the teams took in the alumni game and Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau was booed loudly when he came out to watch.
It was a mild 7 C and sunny on Friday morning. Rain continues to be in the forecast for Saturday and threatens to delay the Winter Classic.
Lemieux made a series of comebacks during a career where he successfully battled cancer and famously returned in 2000 after three years away from hockey. In his first game back, Lemieux set up a goal 33 seconds into a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs and ended up finishing with three points.
He would go on to rack up 76 points in just 43 games in 2000-01.
Lemieux played parts of four more seasons — helping Canada win gold at the 2002 Olympics — before retiring for good. While there is isn't another comeback in the offing this time, Lemieux clearly enjoyed his return to the rink.
"It's a great day for hockey for sure," he said.

I’ve always been slightly wary of bands who name the keytar as one of their key instruments. The fusion between regular keyboard and guitar is an unlikely one and a quirky, kitschy, gimmicky one at that. Flock of Seagulls, anyone? In fact, any ’80s band, anyone? Don’t get me wrong, I really do have a fond place in my heart for many ’80s and new wave bands. The new new wave trend (Franz Ferdinand, Dogs Die in Hot Cars, The Futureheads, The Ordinary Boys), as well as the real one, does send delightful little shivers up my spine; it really does. It’s just when I heard the words “keytar” and “L.A. band,” my brain worked into overdrive, thought that Vagenius was another one of those Los Angeles scenester bands.
You know the kind. Spiky black hair, plugs, deconstructed As I Lay Dying t-shirts, girl jeans, either Vans or Converse, the sweat, and the sweet, sweet smell of arrogant music pretension. Sometimes, I am so wrong.
Vagenius happens to be an L.A. band but an L.A. band that only slightly conforms to the indie-electro-rock scene, at least in their clothes and some sonic stylings. The rest is all Vagenius, which is impressive, considering that they consist solely of guitar, synth and drums. Vagenius is electro-futuristic, dancepop, dancerock-it doesn’t really matter what you call it because they’re really, really talented. This statement proves to be true simply by the sheer amount of followers they have, considering they have yet to let out an LP. Yet, their EP is strong enough on its own; it doesn’t even need followers. Why? Just the buzz surrounding the release of the EP was enough to get people listening. Since the release, Vagenius has been all over the Internet and Los Angeles: www.thecobrasnake.com (the new Polaroid Scene, a.k.a. hipster party photos of pretty people from all over Los Angeles), and Teaching the Indie Kids to Dance Again (one of the premier internet music blogs).
After all, it’s hard to resist the bouncy, catchy hooks of the majority of their songs when Juliette Commagere, the stunning lead singer, is practically inviting you to come live in their word of shiny, shiny ’80s spacesuits and mohawks. My issues with the keytar practically dissolved upon the second track on the EP, “Everyone Comes Here.” The song buzzes with a smooth, synth-y feeling, and it’s clear that all three musicians are incredibly talented because none of it is sounding kitschy at all. “Everyone Comes Here” leads into a slower, rock-tinged, flirtatious song, “Educated Fool,” which sounds more like something from the past than anything else on the album. “Here We Go Again” starts off with a punchy drum beat, and then different textures of sound are pieced together as Commagere (appropriately) sings “Here we go again/It’s unraveling,” which fits together against the contrasting (and also unraveling) soundscapes. The first track, “After All,” is almost delicate in the beginning, Commagere’s voice seductively meandering around the bounce of keytar … really. The clear favorite, however, is “Magazines,” which sounds like something that Madonna might have done had she more musical ingenuity and a better voice. All and all, Vagenius’ second EP is most definitely a commendable effort and a good one at that. They’ll even give it to you for free if you sign their guestbook on totallyvagenius.com.
Vagenius is currently touring with the Kings of Leon, and will gracing Chicago with their presence at the Beat Kitchen on March 10 (time and cost to be announced on www.beatkitchen.com).


glad you got it fixed. It may or may not have been the radiator but the money is spent and it seems to be working now. I agree, a 160 stat is too low a temp and will actually make the car run hotter, as it opens to fast and does not allow for proper heat absorption in the block and in the dissipation of heat in the radiator. I prefer for most cars the stock 192 but on power adders I use a 180. I hope you used distilled water as tap water has a lot of impurities and contaminants which lead to faster corrosion.

Metito, a global leader and provider of choice for sustainable water management solutions, and British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution and impact investor, announced the launch of their new company Africa Water Infrastructure Development “AWID”, reports Middle East Utilities.
The firm is an avant-garde platform dedicated to develop climate-smart water projects at scale and to increase water security across the African continent.
AWID will develop and build facilities that will help to increase access to sustainable, safe and reliable water with a clear focus on countries that are most vulnerable to climate change. The platform will also finance water and wastewater management treatment plants.
Moreover, AWID will exemplify a viable commercial model for water infrastructure and provision in Africa, helping to mobilise long-term investment into the sector.
The new firm will specialize in its investments in green technologies and alternative energy components, with the aim to help reduce the environmental footprint of water infrastructure projects.
The firm is an avant-garde platform dedicated to develop climate-smart water projects at scale and to increase water security across Africa
The company’s first asset is an operational bulk surface water treatment plant in Kigali-Rwanda. The 40,000 cubic meters per day plant is currently providing over 25 per cent of the city’s potable water supply, meeting the needs of 500,000 domestic, commercial, and industrial consumers. The Kigali water treatment plant is a public-private partnership (PPP), which is the first of its type under this business model in sub-Saharan Africa (outside of South Africa).
Andrew Mitchell, UK Minister for Development and Africa said: “The climate emergency has made water insecurity a major development challenge in Africa. BII’s partnership with Metito to launch the AWID platform, signals the UK’s continuing commitment to increase development and climate partnerships and financing to help the most vulnerable people and countries impacted by climate change.”
Rami Ghandour, Managing Director of Metito added: “As Africa undergoes rapid urbanisation, there is a pressing demand for water infrastructure. Such projects are particularly capital intensive. An increasing funding gap requires mobilising sustainable investments into the sector. Our partnership with BII will leverage our high-value engineering and use of innovative technologies with access to unrivalled financial resources and support.”
Chris Chijiutomi, MD and Head of Africa at BII also commented: “Our partnership with Metito is part of BII’s strategy to improve development outcomes by investing in water, sanitation and hygiene. AWID will demonstrate to other investors, governments and operators that private investment can deliver operationally efficient and high-impact water infrastructure projects at scale, that have the potential to drive transformative and sustainable impact in Africa.”
Morgan Landy, Global Director for Infrastructure at the International Finance Corporation (IFC) said: “Investing in water infrastructure is a strategic priority for IFC in Africa and we are working with the private sector to close the funding gap in this critical sector. As a long-standing Metito shareholder, IFC is proud to witness the launch of this new Africa-focused platform that will invest in climate-smart water projects, further promoting economic growth and building a more water-secure Africa.”
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), water stress is major challenge across Africa. Long-lasting droughts and devastating floods are hitting African communities, economies and ecosystems hard.
High water stress is estimated to affect about 250 million people in Africa. Four out of five African countries are unlikely to have sustainably managed water resources by 2030.

Junk Gun Import Ban Should Be Extended
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, April 9, 1996
CONGRESS HAD good reason in 1968 for banning the importation of "junk guns." Robert Kennedy had just been assassinated by a man who used one of the easily hidden, cheap weapons that then were largely made outside the United States. One way to prevent their proliferation was to confiscate them at the borders.
But Congress did not look far enough into the future.
Seeing an easy market niche suddenly without foreign competition, opportunistic U.S. entrepreneurs rushed to fill the breach.
The intent of Congress -- to curb possession of the weapons also known as "Saturday night specials" -- was thwarted.
Today, these cheap, small weapons that lack any sporting purpose and which are often too unsafe to fill self-protection needs, are abundant in the United States. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms estimates that eight of the 10 firearms most frequently traced at crime scenes are these Saturday night specials. The UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program found that "junk guns" are 3.4 times more likely than other firearms to be involved in a crime. With the endorsement of law enforcement agencies, U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer is trying to fulfill Congress' original intent. She deserves full support in her effort.
As with imported junk guns, Boxer's bill would ban domestic manufacture, transfer and possession of revolvers and pistols that do not achieve minimum scores on a features test in which points are awarded for size, weight, construction materials and other safety requirements. Typically, junk guns are cheap, small and light, lack safety features that can prevent accidental shootings and are made of inferior materials like zinc.
The legislation, which reflects similar statewide bills by Senator Richard Polanco, D-Los Angeles, and Assemblyman Louis Caldera, D-Los Angeles, would not apply to junk guns already in circulation. These easily obtainable, inexpensive weapons are used daily in killings. Wesley Bowling, police chief of East Palo Alto, which in 1992 was dubbed the "Murder Capital of the World," has called junk guns "nothing more than an invitation to tragedy." He noted that all but five of the 42 homicides in East Palo Alto in 1992 involved the use of handguns.
"The more Saturday night specials we can eliminate from our society, the better off we will be," Bowling said.


BERLIOZ, Hector (1803-1869)
Plaque erected in 1969 by Greater London Council at 58 Queen Anne Street, Marylebone, London, W1G 8HW, City of Westminster
Music and Dance
Hector BERLIOZ 1803-1869 COMPOSER stayed here in 1851
The celebrated French composer Hector Berlioz visited London for the Great Exhibition in the summer of 1851, and stayed at 58 Queen Anne Street in Marylebone.
COMPOSER AND CONDUCTOR
Born near Lyon, Berlioz devoted himself to composition from the 1820s. During the following decade he produced his most popular works, including Symphonie Fantastique (1830), Harold en Italie (1834) and Roméo et Juliette (1839). He also made his name as a conductor at this time, and in 1843 published the important Grand Traité d’Instrumentation et d’Orchestration Modernes.
THE GREAT EXHIBITION
In 1851 Berlioz made the second of five trips to London, lodging in an apartment above the New Beethoven Rooms at 58 (formerly 27) Queen Anne Street, an 18th-century house altered around 1840–50, where the Beethoven Quartet Society held its meetings from 1845.
Rather than conducting his own works, Berlioz was entrusted with ‘the stupid job of examining the musical instruments sent to the [Great] Exhibition’. Early each morning he walked across Hyde Park to the Crystal Palace at South Kensington. He found the task painful: ‘It splits your head to hear these hundreds of wretched machines, each more out of tune than the next.’
There were some compensations, however. On some evenings he listened to the concerts held in the drawing room below his room at number 58. He described one such occasion in a letter home:
I could easily hear the whole performance by simply opening my door. One evening I heard Beethoven’s trio in C minor being played. I opened my door wide, Come in, Come in, welcome proud melody! How fine and beautiful it is.
On another occasion that summer he attended a charity concert at St Paul’s Cathedral where there was a chorus of 6,500 children. He was deeply moved by the experience and subsequently added a part for children’s voices in his composition for the hymn Te Deum.
Berlioz returned to London in 1852, 1853 and, for the final time, in 1855, conducting a series of performances of his works. He died in Paris on 8 March 1869.


We knew it was coming, yet BlackBerry’s fervently “Mercury” handset proclaims at CES.
A riddle of the support wearing BlackBerry’s hardware keyboard, which is at present blueprint, oversee and works TCL. Alcatel’s parent association, shows up Steve Cistulli, President of TCL, going before the start of CES.
In mid-December, BlackBerry and TCL formalized their relationship, legitimately making the Canadian outfit an item association. TCL will regardless release BlackBerry’s hardware keyboard, for which the past telecom creature will collect the Android programming.
As showed by past bits of babble, the new blackberry’s hardware keyboarded “Mercury” will incorporate a remarkable 1620×1080 assurance with a 420 ppi pixel thickness.

A first disappointment from a Crutchfield purchase
2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This harness was recommended by Crutchfield tech support as the preferred product for a Kenwood head unit and Axxess steering wheel control adapter installation in an Outlander Sport. Wiring the head unit was pretty straightforward. However, this harness is deficient in wiring in the Axxess control adapter. And this is only due to the lack of 2 wires in the connector (pins 9 and 19). Since every model of this vehicle has steering wheel controls, one would assume the high likelyhood of needing to adapt these to a new head unit. Therefore, one would expect this harness to be prepopulated with the missing wires. As is, the only options to making the Axxess work with this harness is to splice separately into the factory harness for the missing 2 wires (circumventing the overall purpose of using this harness in the first place), or add pins to the connector yourself. This harness should include pins/wires to pin 9 & 19.
Pros: Flawless integration of head unit.
Cons: Missing pins 9 & 19 necessary to adapt steering wheel control adapter should be included in the connector.


The Obama administration says it won't enforce many Obamacare provisions. This may actually help Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt challenge the law in court. Pruitt's lawsuit focuses on the first Obamacare provision the administration ignored: the mandate for taxpayer subsidies to be tied to participation in a state-run exchange.
Oklahoma, like the overwhelming majority of states, opted to let the federal government set up an exchange. But the Obamcare law clearly ties subsidies to enrollment through state-run exchanges, not federally run exchanges. The administration has chosen to ignore that fact. Pruitt argues the subsidies don't apply to Oklahoma — and, therefore, neither do associated penalties.
As a large employer impacted by the law's mandates, state government has standing to challenge the law, Pruitt argues. To make his case, he's using the most damning evidence: Obama administration officials' own words.
In a new filing, Pruitt notes that when the Obama administration delayed the employer mandate, the administration “publically acknowledged that the requirements are so ‘complex' that large employers need a full year to figure out how to comply.” That's an “implicit admission” that reporting requirements and other large employer mandates “are in fact injuring large employers such as the State.”

Hey, here’s a real shocker for you (h/t Players).
In the summer of 2011, the NCAA changed this rule. It passed legislation giving Division I universities the option to offer multiyear scholarships, guaranteeing an education as long as the athlete stays out of legal trouble, doesn’t violate school or NCAA rules, keeps playing the sport and maintains academic eligibility. The athlete is also free to leave, under the same transfer rules as always.
But nearly two years after that legislation, multiyear scholarships are rare, not publicized by universities and largely unknown by the athletes. According to data of 82 universities at the Division I-A level obtained by the Post-Gazette through open records requests, only 16 have offered more than 10 multiyear scholarships. Thirty-two of the universities have offered between one and 10, and thirty-four have not offered any.
You can read the whole thing, but it all boils down to this:
- Coaches don’t like losing control.
- The NCAA was covering its ass in its usual less than coherent way. (“The great majority of athletic scholarships are still good for just one year, renewable on a coach’s decision, a procedure that flaunts the education-first narrative pitched by the NCAA and member schools, especially at a time when promising an education until graduation is possible.”)
- Student-athletes don’t have a clue what they’re being offered.
Same old, same old, in other words…

I had a little time to kill yesterday, so I popped on the replay of the Georgia Tech game. One thing that really struck me was how quickly the opening series went: Mitchell returns the kickoff almost fifty yards to the Tech 44 and four plays later the Dawgs are in the end zone. It barely took a minute.
That got me to wondering if that was Georgia’s easiest opening score of the season. With a little research, here’s the list (every successful opening drive resulted in a touchdown, by the way):
- Buffalo: 7 plays, 53 yards, 3:10
- Missouri: did not score
- FAU: 7 plays, 71 yards, 2:25
- Vanderbilt: 7 plays, 47 yards, 2:11
- Tennessee: 13 plays, 84 yards, 6:06
- South Carolina: did not score
- Kentucky: did not score
- Florida: 3 plays, 20 yards, 1:23
- Ole Miss: did not score
- Auburn: 6 plays, 76 yards, 2:05
- GSU: 10 plays, 79 yards, 3:39
- Georgia Tech: 4 plays, 44 yards, 1:03
- Alabama: did not score
- Nebraska: did not score
Yes, you read that correctly – it took more time off the clock for Georgia to score after the Florida fumble than that drive against Tech took. That all being said, honesty compels me to admit that the opening drive against Auburn may have even been easier. What do you guys remember?

It’s the start of a new week. You need to eat.
- If this is the kind of stuff I’m missing, I could get used to the AJ-C‘s new paywall real fast.
- When I say it’s not easy being a mid-major, this is what I’m talking about.
- Todd Grantham’s not worried about his young safeties. We’ll see if he feels the same way after the Clemson game.
- It looks like Mike Slive’s got more catching up to do on the commissioner pay front.
- Bernie’s a braver Dawg than I am.
- Most surprising thing about this poll? That better than forty percent of the participants aren’t willing to pay more on their cable bills for the SEC Network. Least surprising? That more than a quarter of them would be interested in a Finebaum show on the network.
- Do you care about this? I don’t.
