You are invited to participate in a virtual Nuclear Watch New Mexico workshop about the draft Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement (SWEIS) for the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) on Thursday, February 6 th from 5:30 pm to 7 pm Mountain Time. With LANL expanding its nuclear weapons programs—despite a long history of environmental contamination and nuclear safety issues—the draft SWEIS represents a vital opportunity for the public to demand transparency, accountability and environmental justice.

This Update relates to historic and important resources that can be useful for your participation in the public hearings about draft Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement for Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and its proposed operations in the next 15 years or so. Public hearings under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) will begin on Tuesday, February 11th in Santa Fe, followed by a wednesday, February 12th hearing in Española, and a Thursday, February 13th hearing in Los Alamos. The specifics are available at nuclearactive.org.

More than two years after the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) sought public input about the scope of a site- wide environmental impact statement (SWEIS) for Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) operations, a draft LANL SWEIS will be released for a 60-day public review and comment period on Friday, January 10th. Public hearings will be held during the week of February 10th. The public comment period ends on March 11th.

Do you want to follow biblical principles in all arenas of life? If so, you've probably found that it's not always easy to know how biblical ideas translate and apply to everyday life. You need to be in godly, manly, fraternal community, my friend. That's what we're talking about in this episode of the ThinkPod. Joel Settecase is joined by Micah Morgan and Dr. Khaldoun Sweis. Micah is a custom homebuilder and the CEO of Red Cloud Contracting. He and Joel have been friends since 1994. Back in high school they used to hang out with their other friend outside the local Jewel Osco, enjoying the finest cigars their local Speedway had to offer and pontificating on life's big questions. They called these meetups AWOL. It was awesome. Nowadays, building on that tradition, they host monthly AWOL gatherings for men in the Fox Valley region of Illinois. The cigars have gotten better, and the conversation is still awesome. Khaldoun A. Sweis, is a Jordanian American Life Coach and Associate Professor of Philosophy at Olive-Harvey College in Chicago and serves as tutor in philosophy with Oxford University in England. After losing his son Enoch, who died in his arms, he had a paradigm shift in his life and ministry. His experience entails teaching philosophy and apologetics for over a decade as well as speaking at conferences both nationally and abroad in such locations as Hong Kong, Romania, Australia, and England. He has three books including Killing God: Addressing the Seven Most Common Objections from the New Atheists. He is a member of the American Philosophical Association and the Evangelical Philosophical Society. His goal is to help equip believers to deal with suffering productively and engage culture redemptively. Today they're bringing AWOL to you, as they dive in to several current cultural challenges and seek to view them in light of the timeless truth of God's word.

Author Natasha Tynes With A Literary Murder Mystery That Draws on Her Jordanian-American heritage on Charlotte Readers Podcast In this Under the Covers episode, we visit with Natasha Tynes, author of “They Called Me Wyatt,” a literary murder mystery that draws on the author’s Jordanian-American heritage. Rana F. Sweis, author of “Voices of Jordan,” calls the book “a brilliantly imaginative and riveting tale of cross cultures as well as personal triumph and struggle.” Gwen Florio, author of “Silent Hearts,” observes that Natasha’s book “starts with an irresistible concept—a murder victim’s soul trapped in a toddler’s body, unable to communicate what happened beyond screams and tantrums—and only gets better from there…it explores the lives of young Jordanians simultaneously bound by the strictures of their home country, and experiencing the freedom—and the bias—of life in the United States.

Neuroscience rockstar Brian Sweis joins us for episodes 42 - 45. Within the context of the Kelly Nicole Foundation’s mission, we discuss his work and background. Here’s a brief summary from Dr. Sweis’s Thesis: “How the brain processes information when making decisions depends on how that information is stored. Distinct neural circuits are capable of storing information in many different ways that are better suited for different situations. The decision-making processes that access those different bits of stored information are not singular and occupy separable neural circuits, each of which can operate in parallel with one another, and each of which can confer different information processing properties based on the neural constraints within which a given computation resides. Such is the framework of recent theories in neuroeconomics, which suggest that decisions are multi-faceted and action-selection processes can arise from fundamentally distinct circuit-specific neural computations.” So deal with that.

Here’s a brief summary from Dr. Sweis’s Thesis: “How the brain processes information when making decisions depends on how that information is stored. Distinct neural circuits are capable of storing information in many different ways that are better suited for different situations. The decision-making processes that access those different bits of stored information are not singular and occupy separable neural circuits, each of which can operate in parallel with one another, and each of which can confer different information processing properties based on the neural constraints within which a given computation resides. Such is the framework of recent theories in neuroeconomics, which suggest that decisions are multi-faceted and action-selection processes can arise from fundamentally distinct circuit-specific neural computations.” So deal with that.

Today I’m sitting with Khaldoun Sweis, Professor of Philosophy at City Colleges of Chicago and head of Logically Faithful.

E77 – Neuroscientist human Brian Sweis is fascinated by the beauty and complexity of the brain. He has completed the PhD phase of his dual PhD and MD program (University of Minnesota) where he is focused on how the brain makes decisions and how it’s susceptible to change during the time course of addiction. Also […]

Today's guest, Khaldoun Sweis, an Associate Professor of Philosophy, shares his personal story of the greatest suffering he has ever known - first, being a teen on the brink of suicide, and years later, his son's death. His riveting story goes on to explain how these events set him on his mission in life: helping people to find hope in suffering through discovering evidence of their faith - like he did. Regardless of your religious beliefs - you will be moved by Sweis' story. Do you call on your God or a Higher Power like a big bellhop in the sky - there to grant your wishes? Or do you have faith even when you're going through your darkest times? You will likely recognize yourself in Sweis' words and in our universal quest for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Ramzy has won awards, been on a panel & performed comedy internationally. Ramzy pleads to facilitate his skills on your podcast under the wing of his idol, YOU. Rest-assured his etiquette is as great as my hygiene (& he is a germaphobe). Ramzy love to listen & am apt to hit the floor running. Ramzy is unbiased as his only whole focus is a benevolent community. Ramzy asks either Google or his family one-thousand questions daily - it is for this reason & also because Ramzy is a grammar Nazi that he believes that he is a haven for your staff. Ramzy does have transportation to commute, & cover events. Being a graduate of Columbia College & NYFA (New York Film Academy), Ramzy indulges in flowing creative juices (although it is akin to paring (or peeling off a band-aid while pretending to be a dermatologist). Having attending community events, performed at several comedy clubs, restoring the farm Ramzy live which is 6 acres, he aims to play a vital role to inform Chicago while morphing her opinion. Ramzy did free-lance as a culture columnist at the Arab News for 15 months; fired on Easter; perhaps because they feared for his safety as Ramzy lured a total of 500K readers? Ramzy's final column "Dog is God" made Reddit Top 5. We garnered 1.2 monthly yet started only at 300K monthly. Once Ramzy launched his website he handed in his resignation as they were green with envy. Ramzy was fired for the reason that he was hired.

As a book-end to last week's show with socialist economist Richard Wolf, I have returning to the show, visionary, author and foremother, Riane Eisler, author of the famous and inspirational books, The Chalice and the Blade and Our Real Wealth.  Riane will discuss caring economics and why corporations would actually benefit from these practices rather than the predator capitalistic values employees have had imposed upon them.  We'll also discuss the topic raised in The Chalice and the Blade, namely "Domination vs Partnership" and the need for the shift toward the latter so there's a better quality of life for the most of us.  We'll chat about SWEIs - new economic indicators that are a better gauge of how people are doing than GDP which fails to show the vast income disparity so many are suffering from.  Riane will talk about the plight of women and the poverty they and their children still face, and not just in third world countries, but here in the United States, which does not bode well for any of our futures if we don't start forcing our political leaders to institute laws that promote REAL family values, and more caring and sharing of our national treasure so that its invested in people and life sustaining practices rather than war and corporate welfare. Learn how caring actually equals prosperity and stop drinking the Kool-Aid of trickle down economics!  

In this weeks extra show, Executive Intern Pete talks explains what a shit house is. We talked to Intern Matt, worked things out with Allen C., talked to Lady Trucker, Ralph Mastromonaco, Gamer Juls, Pick 'Em Up Nelson, Two Stainz, Chucky Workclothes, actor David Banks, film maker Jhene Erwin, and comedian Ramzy Sweis came back on our show and killed! It was a great show!!!

In this episode I talk with Professor Timothy Winter (a.k.a. Shaikh Abdal-Hakim Murad), an Islamic theologian at Cambridge University. He's the author of a chapter called "The Trinity is Incoherent" in the 2013 collection edited by J.P. Moreland, Chad Meister, and Khaldoun A. Sweis, Debating Christian Theism. It was paired with a chapter by Dr. Tom Senor, a Christian philosopher from the University of Arkansas, called "The Trinity is Coherent." These chapters are very different; Senor's is entirely philosophical and apologetic, whereas Winter's is biblical and pastoral. Senor argues: it is not contradictory. Winter argues: it's not in the Bible, it's not an idea of Jesus's, and it is a barrier to spiritual life. Here I summarize Dr. Senor's chapter before conversing with Professor Winter about his. We talk about his Christian background, his views on the gospels, and his reaction to Dr. Senor's chapter. You can also listen to this episode on youtube. (Or: itunes.) Some relevant links: Timothy Winter's personal homepage. Dixon's Nice and Hot Disputes - on some of the late 17th c. trinitarian-unitarian debates Professor Winters mentions. Christian theologian Geoffrey Lampe's God as Spirit. A 2010 article where Professor Winter discusses his conversion to Islam. The text of a 1996 talk by Professor Winter, " The Trinity: A Muslim Perspective". A video of Professor Winter in a mosque or madrasah teaching Muslims about the Trinty. A piece of an academic lecture by Professor Winter on Jesus in the Qur'an. And on Christianity.

 Nikki English, Keith Robertson and Matt Williams, music has been a driving force in their lives for as long as they can remember. Together since 2007, they are the members of Western Avenue, a contemporary country music band from central Ontario. The trio is heading out on a journey following their dreams. Joe Craze is a talented musician, influenced by his musical lineage embedded in the NYC musical scene.   Craze was introduced to music at age 5 when he learned to play the drums.  Growing up in the “Big Apple,” he capitalized on every opportunity to nurture his musical talents, becoming one with his art.  Craze participated in the Jazz and Concert Band during his days at Spring Valley High School, while actively playing in the East Ramapo district Ramapo Marching Band.  When Ramzy thinks of a joke, I take the audience on a journey. Laughter is a miracle - people see the world differently afterward. Jot ideas to strengthen the muscles. The detection of great literature is conceived i

This is based on the article by the same name published in Think / Volume 8 / Issue 23 / September 2009, pp 45-53 Copyright © Cambridge University Press 2009 DOI: , Published online: 13 October 2009 In this talk, I read my article cited above. The following is an imaginary conversation on the ever elusive qualia, or the ‘what is it like’ feeling, or conscious experiences, that has left philosophers and cognitive scientists searching for answers. This article is meant to give the beginning reader an overall view of this phenomena. Qualia is the technical name for conscious experiences like seeing the colour red or listening to Handel's Messiah. The problem is that these conscious experiences are apparently nowhere to be found in our physical brains. Thus, it would not register on any physical system in the known world (although the results of it, such as neurons firing, would).

Naturalism is the strongest force against the legitimate expression of religion in the sciences today. I attempt to show the problems of naturalism in this paper which is composed of three parts. Part 1 is a struggle to find a coherent definition of naturalism as it is currently understood. In Part 2, I address the unscientific presuppositions of naturalism. Finally in Part 3, I frame and articulate to the naturalists’ community a strong argument against naturalism ala Alvin Plantinga and Richard Taylor, (different than the one raised by C. S. Lewis). This was a paper given at EPS 2008 in Rhode Island.
