Nick Cave Begins His Chelsea Doubleheader, as Mary Boone Unveils Luis Gispert
At the start of a new season, as hundreds of galleries throw open their doors on new exhibitions, the New York art world can feel enormous, unwieldy even. But then one finds oneself walking to an opening at Mary Boone's 57th Street gallery during the early hours of Fashion's Night Out, and the whole art scene feels rather quaint. Read More


text: Anarchy and misery whispered so softly that only she could hear their voices, so she threw crabapples at a mail man to draw attention, ran feral between cars, remapped streets that never gave adequate directions or a single landmark to show her the way home. Mother loved the shell her baby bird had long ago broken, a mourning dove cooing for soft pieces, each scattered peep. Breath, the only thing that was hers, truly. Oh, the relief to snatch a bored sigh, draw it back, deny escape. A-gore-rhythms and Form-you-la's, school's strangle hold methodology of mind control. Skip to my Lou. Skip class. Skip through rush hour traffic. Still, no one understands. No one speaks the language of Ash. Purge-atory is no fantasy. Every day, the same losses: possibility, sensitivity, civility. Hey guards, listen to all the things she will never say. Words, what the hell are they but manufactured strings of disappointment that she chokes on? The entire world babbles platitudes and lawyers' lies and vulgar chastisements. Why speak, why waste a single breath? They fling their crap, so she returns the favor, knowing they will not translate her message. They use verbs like pepper spray and cavity search and solitary confinement. She is nineteen, but the numbers don't add up, redo the equation. Just don't ask questions or try to hurt yourself. Just? Again, she feels the noose close her throat, smiles at her secret antidote, the open doors of unconsciousness. A caress, this burn against the neck, again and again, saved and saved and saved, as though they'd noticed the flame's gone, as though someone cared that she'd become soot, ash, ashes. Ashley? Ashley to ashes to ash to dust, just dust. Just? Just. Death. About this Poem Ashley Smith was a troubled teen who would run into traffic, scream at people, cut classes.At 15 year, she was incarcerated for throwing crabapples at a mail man, this led to behavior which kept her in prison. She defied the system, threw feces at guards, refused to comply and strangled herself many times a day. Ashley was restrained in a chair for as long as 8 hours, forced to sleep on mattress-less bed frame, pepper sprayed, tazered and kept mostly in segregation. She would bang her head against the floor until she bled, told a phychologist she felt suicide was her only hope. She was moved 17 times between 8 facilities in only 9 months. On October 17, 2007, Ashley, aged 19, hung herself in her cell as guards merely watched, having been ordered to only intervene once she STOPPED breathing. Her death was filmed. There is currently an inquest into Ashley's treatment and suicide. For more information- http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/national/Ashley+Smith+death+only/8053824/story.html May change come.

Sri Lanka. New Visa Requirements
Dear Roger,
You are correct, at the moment British passengers visiting Sri Lanka get a free visa on arrival.
From January 1st 2012 this will be changing and visitors will need to apply for a visa (Electronic Travel Authority) online at least 72 hours before they arrive in Sri Lanka. This will cost east tourist US$50 for a 30 day visa. We will be putting details of this in our trip notes, and creating a visa information sheet, for 2012 as soon as details are finalised.
I do hope you have a brilliant trip and look forward to receiveing your valued feedback.
Best wishes,

Really nice 4
Kamilla (Virginia Bch, VA), 1/31/2014
"Really good."
Personalized wine bottle stoppers 5
October bride (LOMBARD, IL), 11/2/2013
"First of all, I highly recommend this wine bottle stopper to anyone wonders what to get for wedding favors on budget. You can personalize it by creating little cute sticker and attach the sticker on the top part of the stopper. They come in individual packages. Very nice for the price you pay."
Thank you 5
Yvonne (San Antonio, TX), 10/21/2013
"Items were received ahead of schedule. Very pleased with the product. Used as wedding rehearsal favor for all inside an engraved champagne flute with chocalte kisses. Guest were very appreciative."
Fabulous party gift 5
Ed (Andover, MA), 9/12/2013
"We couldn't be more thrilled with the quality of this party favor. It was a big hit at my "big" birthday celebration."
Great favors!! 5
Myrna (Houston, TX), 5/15/2013
"I really liked the favors we ordered for my daughter's Bridal Shower. The quality of your favors is excellent, good pricing and your Customer Service exceptional! Thank you and definitely will recommend to others."
Wine stopper, thank you for coming 4
Lesa (Boerne, TX), 5/10/2013
"It turned out wonderful! It was in time and looked great when put together."
Cute Bridal Shower Favor 4
BB (Northfield, IL), 5/1/2013
"We ordered these for our girlfriends bridal shower. We loved customizing them to match her wedding colors. I would say that the final product is a little cheap looking. The stickers that you apply are decent quality, but not outstanding. The bride loved them which is all that matters."
Label not waterpr0of!! 2
"PROS: The design came out as pictured. The wine stopper itself is elegant for the price!! I thought it may be plastic, but nice quality!! CON: The label is ordinary plain label paper!!! Which is horrible because if this gets wet your label will be destroyed!! This is made for wine, correct, its a wet beverage and the label will not hold up! SDo what'sthe point?? Now i have to think of a creative solution without harming the label itself to fix this. I will contact customer service and keep you posted!!"
Bottle stoppers 5
Nancy (Abilene, TX), 4/10/2013
"Very pleased with my order. They are high quality and a great favor for my event."
Happy!! 5
Vanessa (Fairfield, CA), 4/1/2013
"I was very happy with these bottle top favors. They came quickly and were very easy to put together. Can't wait to give them out on my wedding day!!"
Great bridal shower favor 5
Bonnie L (Clearfield, PA), 1/21/2013
"I was very pleased with the bottle stopper and loved that I could personalize it with the newlyweds names and wedding date"
Lovely Rehearsal Dinner Favors 4
Mercedes (Sugar Land, TX), 11/6/2012
"The presentation was very nice indeed and the colors spot on. If the labels had a plastic over coating or where more substantial, that would be my only criticism. I'm not confident that part will hold up well over time. The actual stopper is a great value for the money"
Nice Favor but 5
Rachel (Clark, NJ), 10/26/2012
"when you press the sticker on some of the ink smeared - think the printed sticker could have been a better quality"
Personalized Wine Stoppers 4
Andrea (Clark, NJ), 10/26/2012
"Adorable for the occasion! Shipped quickly and were easy to design...many colors/choices to choose from for personalization. The design is simply a sticker that you put on the stopper. Easy to assemble and extra stickers were provided."
Charming wedding favors 5
Martha (Strafford, PA), 10/4/2012
"Ordered personalized wine bottle stoppers. Liked the label so much ordered more for the gift bags for hotel check in. Service was friendly. Turn-around time swift. Thank you!"
60th birthday 5
Sheila (Washington, DC), 9/27/2012
"They stoppers were a perfect gift for our guests. They really appreciated them."
Cute Wedding Favors! 4
Elyse (Jackson, MI), 9/1/2012
"These arrived quickly & took a little bit of assembly but it was easy. The final product was very cute. The only think I am concerned with is the stickers if they get wet/when they get washed. (which is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5). Good for the price though & a nice favor for our wedding. We received many compliments."
Round of applause 5
Ashley (Lansdowne, PA), 6/27/2012
"Great favors at a great price! They came really quick and were the hit of the bridal party! I have a few left over but I'm sure they won't go to waste. Will definitely be visiting this website for all my party needs:) keep up the good work."
Poor product 2
Seema (Somerset, NJ), 6/5/2012
"First, when I dis recieve the item, the stickers were on a seperate sheet of paper and the ink/paper quality was poor because it was smudging. Also, the rubber on the bottle stopper comes off quickly after use and the product seems to rust quickly also. Would not purchase again"
Customers also shopped for these favors...

Hot answers tagged women
I have heard two explanations for this. I tend to think the second one is much more sound in the context given but I will offer them both for reference.
First of all, the passage in question is 1 Corinthians 14:34.
The first explanation I've heard is that at the time, most women were poorly educated and had a difficult time participating in the discussions ...
This is a question on which Christians disagree among themselves. Even those who hold the Bible as a sole source of authority reach contradictory conclusions on the matter.
On the side of not permitting women pastors, the main passage is 1 Timothy 2:12-14:
But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but remain quiet. For it was ...
Order, Authority and Peace
Would you ever dare to mention that the Holy Spirit is subject to the authority and/or control of a Man? If you cannot fathom that the Holy Spirit would ever be subjected to man then you do not understand order and peace.
1 Corinthians 14:32-33 NIV
32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. 33
I do not think the NIV does the original Greek justice in this case. The English Standard Version (a respected relatively new essentially literal translation) renders the verse this way:
7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way,
showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs
with you of the grace of ...
Well, so the big hidden question here is "what comprises an LDS sunday service?". A related question covers some of this, so I'll just summarize. In your average "Sacrament meeting", you'll typically have:
1 who presides at the meeting
1 who conducts the meeting (may be the same as the one presiding)
1 who leads the music
1 who plays the piano/organ
2+ ...
It is easy to take a few verses and try to draw a conclusion about women being inferior, but there are so many verses that run counter to this common understanding.
We start near the beginning of the Bible:
The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will
make a helper suitable for him." (NIV, Genesis 2:18)
The Hebrew word for ...
1Timothy 2:12-14 (NASB) says pretty clearly that women shouldn't be pastors:
12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a
man, but to remain quiet.
13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being
deceived, fell into transgression.
The word for "help meet" means more than just a helper. She was to be his counterpart. This is not limited to just man's ministry, but to everything in his life. She was not to be seen as lesser, or just a helper, but as his divinely appointed co-equal complement. This quote I believe explains it better.
God Himself gave Adam a companion. He provided "an ...
This article provides a good summary of the historical and current practices within Christianity regarding head coverings.
Basically for large portions of Christianity wearing some kind of head covering before the 20th century was the norm, even for Protestants:
Among the Protestant reformers, Martin Luther's wife, Katherine, wore a headcovering in ...
Your question can be asked using the theological terms of complementarianism and egalitarianism. The crux of the question is this - Did God make all humans the same or did He give each "separate but equal" roles to uniquely fill within the church?
This, like most real issues of substance, is not one where a single proof verse can answer it. (Although, ...
The LDS website gives a very succinct answer to this:
In weekly worship services and classes, women preach sermons, offer
prayers in behalf of the congregation, and teach adults and children.
They may also serve as missionaries and as presidents of the Relief
Society, Young Women, and Primary organizations. Women participate in
councils that ...
A friend of mine (an Anglican priest) recently preached a sermon in my church about the epistles and how we should read them. He told us of how he had recently found a letter from his father (who had died some years before) in an old book. The letter, he said, was full of good advice about all kinds of things. My friend said that most of it remained good ...
Here are some verses that were often referred to in discussions of ordination of women among ELCA Lutherans.
1) Women first at tomb
I know a female ELCA Lutheran pastor who said she felt her call to be pastor solidify after reading the Gospels and seeing that women who came to the tomb were the first evangelists of a resurrected Christ.
2) No male/female ...
I think a better way to word your question is "What traditions hold the most conservative view of 1 Corinthians 11. If any tradition or denomination stands by what you are saying, they would most certainly derive the Biblical basis from this passage:
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and
the head of the woman is the man; ...
It seems that some of the most popular verses to oppose this are Galatians 3:28, Acts 10:34, and Mark 16:15.
(Gal 3:28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
(Act 10:34) Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no ...
(Full disclosure, I am an Anglican / Episcopalian. I am 100% behind a very, very strong view of Scriptural authority, though I believe in the case of female priests, the old interpretation is not really in line with what Paul or God wrote. As such, I think it's totally okay to have a female priest- but for Scriptural reasons. )
1. There is a scriptural case ...
The women all died. That was about a thousand years ago, after all.
When the edict went out, the ruling was that married men would no longer be ordained, not that the priests who were married would get rid of their wives. Eventually, this meant that all of the women married to priests would either become widows or the priests would become widowers.
Below ...
The EFCA leaves a large part of this to the local congregation. Very much like some of the Baptist denominations that prefer terminology other than a "denomination," the E-Free congregations are autonomous and able to internally govern themselves mostly as they wish.
I am now in a different denomination, but I grew up in a church that moved into the E-Free ...
Error: When I wrote this up I, I had misread the question and focused my answer on the office of Deacon. I will need to revise this to focus on the office of Elder. It won't be substantially different but there are a few extra considerations.
There is not a very clear answer to this question, but the statement on the CBE seems to beyond the scope of ...
Willow Creek has held an egalitarian stance about women in leadership since their inception. Yesterday Lynne Hybels reposted the chapter in the book mentioned above on her blog. The link is below. I attended Willow for two years in the 1990s and benefitted greatly from the women on the teaching team and the stellar leadership of the mixed-gender elder board. ...
Since you asked "How have nominations (or other church movements) that have held scripture forbids female pastors responded to the general blanket proscription which seems to be found in this verse?" I'll answer that only, with the disclaimer that I'm neither saying that women should or should not preach. I have my belief on the subject, but my belief is ...
It is one thing to answer these questions in the tongue and lingo of the Bible; it is a whole new universe trying to bring this home to our everyday life. I will try to keep this short and simple.
Does the Bible teach elsewhere that this helper role should be a
fundamental aspect of being a Christian wife today?
somewhere in Ephesians 5 (as ...
The verse I always was referred to on this subject is
I Corinthians 14:34-35 (NLT)
34 Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for them to speak. They should be submissive, just as the law says.
35 If they have any questions, they should ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in church meetings.
It seems that your question is a settled part of Church History, from David Calhoun's document on this subject, entitled Reformation & Modern Church History:
Knox said women should not rule over men. That was a kind of call for revolution. People could read between the lines and realize that what John Knox really wanted was for men in the two ...
Most of today's conservative churches interpret these passages as a prohibition on women preaching to men. Far from being a prohibition on women ever giving sermons, women are not merely allowed but actually commanded to teach younger women:
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much ...
Yes, it still applies, but it has to be properly understood. It is not a question of worth or independence, but rather a question of role. God looked at Man and saw that Man was not ideally suited to life by himself and that he should have someone to be with. Woman was created to fill this role as a partner and helper to man just as man is a helper to his ...
Though I'm not a woman or a confidant of women, I've never heard this spoken of before in Protestant circles. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but I don't think this is a typical consideration.
Assigning (religious) impurity to menses would require adherence to the Law of Moses, I think. As a personal matter, there's nothing to prohibit someone from ...
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you
always, to the very end of the age." (Matt. 28:19-20)
The normal, "extroverted" role of women in missionary work has existed on a grand ...
It seems that in Corinthians some women were assuming to much in the equality and liberty that the gospel provided them. They supposed since thy were equal they could 'speak in public gatherings' as though exercising authority over others including men. There may have been other fellowship gatherings where they could exercise gifts of prophesy such as ...
I think this is a question for which historical context needs to be afforded considerable weight. As others have mentioned, it is not the case that women never did any teaching in the days of the early church, even in the days when Corinthians and 2 Timothy were written. So these verses are certainly not, even in their most restricting interpretation, meant ...

Calgary starts the third season in its official re-building with the 1999 Entry Draft. For a franchise suffering with a low-budget and with many long term needs to fill, drafting good players becomes a key to long term competitiveness. The Flames already have a very solid core of good young prospects, with Hockeysfuture giving the nod to the Flames as the orginization with the best group of young prospects in the NHL. Now is the time where Calgary will need a solid draft again in order to solidify its position and its talent going into the next millenium.
Best Player vs Needs
Without a doubt Calgary will draft the best player available for the early rounds of this draft. The team identified several needs in last years draft, but always selected the best player available regardless of need. The needs list from last years draft will apply once again this year.
The Flames would like to draft skill, size and character with this draft, although they have shown in recent times that size will take a back seat to skill and character. In last years draft, the Flames went with talented players that demonstrated the attitudes and leadership that they think a player requires in order to succeed at the NHL level, especially during the early rounds of the draft. Skating ability remains important to the Flames when drafting. The Flames have made mistakes in the past by drafting players whose skating was suspect and will not make that mistake again.

The Eighth Meditation on Superweapons and Bingo
Sometimes people complain that it's scary how oblivious the other side is to their arguments. But I know something scarier.
On r/atheism, a Christian-turned-atheist once described an "apologetics" group at his old church. The pastor would bring in a simplified straw-man version of a common atheist argument, they'd take turns mocking it ("Oh my god, he said that monkeys can give birth to humans! That's hilarious!") and then they'd all have a good laugh together. Later, when they met an actual atheist who was trying to explain evolution to them, they wouldn't sit and evaluate it dispassionately. They'd pattern-match back to the ridiculous argument they heard at church, and instead of listening they'd be thinking "Hahaha, atheists really are that hilariously stupid!"
Of course, it's not only Christians who do that. I hear atheists repeat the old "I believe the Bible because God said it was true. We know He said it was true because it's in the Bible. And I believe the Bible because God said it is true" line constantly and grin as if they've said something knee-slappingly funny. I've never in my entire life heard a Christian use this reasoning. I have heard Christians use the "truth-telling thing" argument sometimes (we should believe the Bible because the Bible is correct about many things that can be proven independently, this vouches for the veracity of the whole book, and therefore we should believe it even when it can't be independently proven) many times. If you're familiar enough with the atheist version, and uncharitable enough to Christians, you will pattern-match, miss the subtle difference, and be thinking "Hahaha, Christians really are as hilariously stupid as all my atheist friends say!"
Sometimes even the straw-man argument is unnecessary. All you need to do is get in a group and make the other side's argument a figure of fun.
There are lots of good arguments against libertarianism. I have collected some of them into a very long document which remains the most popular thing I've ever written. But when I hear liberals discuss libertarianism, they very often head in the same direction. They make a silly face and say "Durned guv'mint needs to stay off my land!" And then all the other liberals who are with them laugh uproariously. And then when a real libertarian shows up and makes a real libertarian argument, a liberal will adopt his posture, try to mimic his tone of voice, and say "Durned guv'ment needs to stay off my land! Hahaha!" And all the other liberals will think "Hahaha, libertarians really are that stupid!"
Many of you will recognize this as much like the Myers Shuffle. As long as a bunch of atheists get together and laugh at religious people who ask them to read theology before criticizing it, and as long as they have an easily recognizable name for the object of their hilarity like "Courtier's Reply", then whenever a religious person asks them to familiarize themselves with theology the atheist can just say "Courtier's Reply!" and all the other atheists will crack up and think "Hahaha, religious people really are that stupid!" and they gain status and the theist loses status and at no point do they have to even consider responding to the theist's objection.
This tendency reaches its most florid manifestation in the "ideological bingo games". See for example "Skeptical Sexist Bingo", feminist bingo, libertarian troll bingo, anti-Zionist bingo, pro-Zionist bingo, and so on. If you Google for these you can find thousands, which is too bad because every single person who makes one of these is going to Hell.
Let's look at the fourth one, "Anti-Zionist Bingo." Say that you mention something bad Israel is doing, someone else accuses you of being anti-Semitic, and you correct them that no, not all criticism of Israel is necessarily anti-Semitic and you're worried about the increasing tendency to spin it that way.
And they say "Hahahahahhaa he totally did it, he used the 'all criticism of Israel gets labeled anti-Semitic' argument, people totally use that as a real argument hahahaha they really are that stupid, I get 'B1' on my stupid stereotypical critics of Israel bingo!"
You say "Uh, look, I'm not really sure what you're getting at. I recognize that there is real anti-Semitism and I am just as opposed to it as you are but surely when when see the state excusing acts of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank we..."
And they say "Hahahhaha G1, I got G1, he pulled the old 'I abhor real anti-Semitism' line this is great, guys come over here and look at what this guy is doing he's just totally parroting all the old arguments every anti-Semite uses!"
So it may be scary when your opponent is unaware of your arguments, but it is much scarier when your opponent has a sort of vague dreamlike awareness of your arguments, which immediately pattern-match cached thoughts about how horrible a person you would have to be to make them.
But this is still not the scariest thing.
Because if your opponent brings out the Bingo card, you can just tell them exactly what I am saying here. You can explain to the pro-Israel person that they are pattern-matching your responses, that you don't know what strawman anti-Zionist they're thinking of but that you have legitimate reasons for believing what you do and you request a fair hearing, and that if they do not repent of their knee-slapping pattern-matching Bingo-making ways they are going to Hell.
No, the scariest thing would be if one of those bingo cards had, in the free space in the middle: "You are just pattern-matching my responses. I swear that I have something legitimate to tell you which is not just a rehash of the straw-man arguments you've heard before, so please just keep an open mind and hear me out."
If someone did that, even Origen would have to admit they were beyond any hope of salvation. Any conceivable attempt to explain their error would be met with a "Hahahaha he did the 'stop-pattern matching I'm not a strawman I'm not an inhuman monster STOP FILLING OUT YOUR DAMN BINGO CARD' thing again! He's so hilarious, just like all those other 'stop-pattern matching I am not a strawman' people whom we know only say that because they are inhuman monsters!"
But surely no one could be that far gone, right?
"I'm not racist, but..."
If you are like everyone else on the Internet, your immediate response is "Whoever is saying that is obviously a racisty racist who loves racism! I can't believe he literally used the 'I'm not racist, but...' line in those exact words! The old INRB! I've got to get home as fast as I can to write about this on my blog and tell everyone I really met one of those people!"
But why would someone use INRB? It sounds to me like what they are saying is: "Look. I know what I am saying is going to sound racist to you. You're going to jump to the conclusion that I'm a racist and not hear me out. In fact, maybe you've been trained to assume that the only reason anyone could possibly assert it is racism and to pattern-match this position to a racist straw man version. But I actually have a non-racist reason for saying it. Please please please for the love of Truth and Beauty just this one time throw away your prejudgments and your Bingo card and just listen to what I'm going to say with an open mind."
And so you reply "Hahahaha! He really used the 'look I know what I'm saying is going to sound racist to you you're going to jump to the conclusion that I'm a racist and not hear me out in fact maybe you've been trained to assume...' line! What a racist! Point and laugh, everyone! POINT AND LAUGH!"
And of course "sexist" works just as well as "racist" here, even though the latter is more familiar.
This is what I mean by "conceptual superweapon". This is what it looks like to stare into the barrel of a gigantic lunar-based death ray and abandon all hope. This is why I find feminism and the social justice community in general so scary.
Let's switch topics. Let's switch to medical testing. Although Medical Testing For Biochemists is complicated and involves scary words like "pharmacokinetics", Medical Testing for Doctors is much easier and goes like this:
A Magic Mystery Box fell to Earth during an eerie thunderstorm. If we wave the Magic Mystery Box over a patient, it beeps and displays a number from one to one hundred. Now sometimes low-numbered patients have cancer, and sometimes high-numbered patients are healthy, but in general the higher the number the more likely the patient is to have cancer. Sometimes.
Suppose the doctor has two choices. She can refer the patient to surgery, where surgeons will cut him open, look to see if there really is a cancer, and if so try to take it out. This surgery is expensive, unpleasant, and there's always the chance the surgeon's hand will slip and cut something important and the patient will die.
Or the doctor can say "Oh, you don't really have cancer" and do nothing.
If she tells a patient who has cancer that he's healthy, the patient will die, sue the doctor, or both. If she tells a patient who is healthy that he needs to go to surgery for further cancer investigation, she makes the patient needlessly terrified, wastes the surgeon's time, risks complications from the surgery, and costs the health system thousands of dollars.
So she waves the Magic Mystery Box over the patient, and it beeps and says "22". Now what?
In practice, doctors establish a threshold. The threshold will be a number like "40". If the test is above 40, the patient gets surgery. If the test is below 40, they send the patient home.
How does one choose the right threshold? A low threshold means means that doctors will catch almost all cancer, but they'll also end up sending a lot of healthy people for dangerous unnecessary surgery. A high threshold means that few healthy patients will ever suffer the risks of unnecessary surgery, but probably a lot of cancer will go undetected.
If the surgery is really dangerous but the cancer isn't that bad, the doctors will choose a high threshold. If the surgery is quick and safe but the uncaught cancer would be fatal, the doctors will choose a low threshold. But no matter what number they choose, all they can do is minimize the harm. Unless they sent every single patient of theirs to surgery, there will always be a few cancers that are uncaught. Unless they never send anyone to surgery, there will always be a few false alarms. As long as the test itself is imperfect, the doctors' decision will always unfairly harm a few patients. They just need to figure the threshold that harms as few as possible.
(If you're familiar with statistics, you already recognize this situation as Type I and Type II errors. If you're familiar with utilitarianism, you already recognize the solution as setting the threshold to maximize total utility across all patients. I'm not saying anything new here.)
If a doctor uses the established thresholds and refers a patient to surgery that turns out to be unnecessary, there are laws preventing that patient from suing her. The same is true if all the tests came back below the threshold, she said he was fine, and he later turned out to be super unlucky and have a totally undetectable form of cancer. The doctor did everything right. She just got unlucky. Those laws are really good. If they didn't exist, it would either be impossible to practice medicine, or else doctors would be optimizing for not being sued rather than for doing good medicine even more than they already are. If they only existed in one direction (eg doctors who did unnecessary surgeries couldn't be sued, but doctors who missed cancer could), that would be even worse - any doctor not heroic enough to go against her own self-interest would refer every patient to surgery.
Politics is nowhere near as rational as medicine. Politicians don't think in terms of thresholds. No one ever says "The more regulations we put on businesses, the fewer customers will get scammed by shady con men. But also the more likely it is that we unnecessarily penalize honest businesses. So we need to find the threshold value that minimizes the total unfairness to businesses and customers." Instead they say either "We need to fight for more regulations and anyone who says otherwise is in the pay of Big Business!" or "We need to cut through all the red tape and anyone who says otherwise is in the pay of Big Government!"
No one ever says "The more restrictions we place on welfare, the more certain we'll be that no one is abusing the system. But the more restrictions we place on welfare, the more certain we will be that some poor people who desperately need it can't get it. Therefore, we should determine the relative disutilities of people defrauding us and of needy people not being able to use the system, and act to maximize total utility." Instead they say "Anyone who opposes tight welfare restrictions is a welfare queen trying to scam you!" or "Anyone who wants any welfare restrictions hates poor people!"
Gender issues also involve thresholds.
A man who wants to know whether it is okay to ask a woman out can try to read her social cues and appeal to lists of known social norms. This is his Magic Mystery Box. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. He needs to set a threshold for action: how open to an advance does she has to look before he asks her or flirts with her or whatever. If the threshold is too low, he will be a creep and she will feel harrassed. If the threshold is too high, no one will ever ask anyone else out and everyone will die alone and unloved.
Another man is in love. He wants to know if he can express his love to a woman without worrying that it is "creepy" or "coming on too strong". Again social cues give him a Magic Mystery Box. Again he must set a threshold. If the threshold is too low, he will end up creeping people out. If the threshold is too high, then no one can ever be in love and all couples must be formed by deciding the other person is good-looking and so you will settle for them.
We need to dismantle social structures that favor men aka patriarchy. It's kind of hard to figure out which ones those are - is the preponderance of male math professors because of the patriarchy, or something else? We can run studies and surveys of women in the math field and try to get some preliminary conclusions - our Magic Mystery Box. But we need some threshold for intervention like fixing a quota of 50% women mathematicians in every college. If our threshold is too low, we end up with tokenism and promoting unqualified people. If our threshold is too high, we end up perpetuating the patriarchy.
Some men (and women!) express political positions whose consequences could hurt women. It's unclear whether they support those positions because they honestly believe they are good for society, or because they are evil people who deliberately aim at misogyny. We can psychoanalyze them - our Magic Mystery Box - but we must decide a threshold. If the threshold is too low, evil misogynists can get away with their evil misogyny and no one will call them on it. If the threshold is too high, we will end up demonizing a bunch of random people, giving feminism a reputation as "those people who go around demonizing innocents", and totally destroy any chance at friendly political discourse.
No threshold should ever be set at zero. If a doctor sets the Magic Mystery Box threshold to zero, then she will end up referring every single patient for dangerous surgery. "Doctor, I've been having a bit of a sore throat these past few....SURGERY! NOW!"
But if one side has a superweapon, it's impossible to argue for the other. If the threshold starts at forty, and one doctor says "But we can't be the sorts of monsters who would refuse a potential cancer patient live-saving surgery!", and this argument is a deeply-ingrained part of medical culture and the other doctors don't want to be tarred as cancer-sympathizers, then the threshold goes to 30. Then another doctor brings up the same argument, and the threshold goes to 20. Soon the threshold is at zero and they're referring rashes and hay fever for surgery and no one can protest because they don't want to look Pro-Cancer.
If it is impossible to ever say "You know, the social justice people make some good points, but on this issue here they've gone too far," then the threshold on all of those questions above just keeps inching downward until it hits zero.
And if people are punished for their results rather than their actions - if you can get called a creep even though you did your best to take her hints and followed all the rules - then that's like only suing the doctors who miss cancer. It's going to bring the threshold down to the zero "operate on everyone" level even faster.
When I Googled for good examples of those bingo games to post above, it was pretty hard to find the Zionism ones and so on. Almost every ideological bingo game out there was feminist. This is not a coincidence.
For those who have absorbed the associated memes, feminism is a fully general conceptual superweapon. It has attempted and probably completed the task of making every possible counterargument so unthinkable that any feminist can refute it just by reciting the appropriate bingo square, then pointing and laughing.
If a man thinks women are less oppressed than she claims, she can say "male privilege!" and point and laugh.
If a man thinks there are some areas where the threshold has moved too far toward women, she can make a grave expression and intone "What About Teh Menz?" (now the name of a major blog, which is actually pretty good) and point and laugh.
If a man thinks parts of the reason why some men are jerks toward women is because women actually are more likely to date jerks than people who are respectful, she can gleefully declare "You're a Nice Guy (TM) and therefore Worse Than Hitler (TM)!" and point and laugh.
If a man tries to explain his own perspective to her or provide any alternative theory to men-being-horrible, she can say he's "mansplaining again!" and point and laugh.
If a man asks not to be immediately pattern-matched to the nearest hostile cliche when he tries to present his opinion, she can say he's using a variant of the old "I'm not sexist, but..." line. And point. And laugh.
During the past few days, some people have criticized me for nonstandard use of terms. They have tried to tell me that the legitimate definition of a feminist term isn't a bingo-square demonization that can be used to shut down debate, but [complex legitimate reasonable definition]. Well, okay. I agree all of these words have possible legitimate definitions and uses and were created for good reasons. The same is true of the word "Communist". It means a person who supports a classless society with common ownership of all goods. This has nothing to do with "communist" the way it is used in actual American political discourse eg "Obama is a communist because he wants universal health care!" If I criticize the Republicans for using the word "communism" as a debate-stopper, saying "But in this here dictionary Communist has a legitimate and useful meaning" is not a response. People created the word because it was useful and meaningful. Then it got picked up and placed into the fuel chamber of a superweapon. Now it is ten million degrees and radioactive and bears no resemblance to its former self. You might not find the terms above used in exactly the way above in the Official Oxford Dictionary Of Gender Relations, but I did check Google and urbandictionary.com to make sure that I wasn't completely generalizing from my own experience here.
My view on feminism isn't really driven by my view on gender relations or women or men or society. It's driven by my view on applause lights, on inability to urge restraint, on death spirals, on anti-charity, on zero-threshold medical testing, on superweapons, and most of all on epistemic hygiene. I don't care how righteous your cause is, you don't get a superweapon so powerful it can pre-emptively vaporize any possible counterargument including the one asking you to please turn off your superweapon and listen for just a second. No one should be able to do that.
I apologize for this post being so long. I wanted to make sure it wouldn't fit on a bingo board.

Big and powerful Lotus Evora is light and agile
Lotus shows off its new Evora model at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show, proving the company can make a car for people over 5' 10". Unlike the Elise and Exige, cars that let short people have all the fun, the larger Evora was designed for less athletic ingress and egress, as Lotus puts it in the press release. And unlike its sister models, the Evora gets some real horsepower courtesy of two extra cylinders. Designed for more than sport driving weekends and track days, the Evora brings useful car technology into the cabin, with a full-featured Alpine system. … Read more

We have continued to review and discuss the resource mapping information with a variety of stakeholders across Tennessee. There has been great interest in this report and the information it reveals. As a result of the diligence and persistence of Melissa Staley, TCCY resource mapping director, in January 2011, we discovered there was a major omission from the report. The Department of Education was extremely diligent in reporting its expenditures for the many programs and services it provides to Tennessee schools and Tennessee children. In fact, it provided the highest level of detail in reporting expenditures of any department. However, in the focus on programs and services, submission of the most substantial part of DOE expenditures, and indeed the most substantial overall expenditure Tennessee makes for children, funds for the Basic Education Program (BEP), were not submitted. BEP funds in FY 2007 and FY 2008 were more than $3 billion each year. Upon discovering this omission, the Department of Education immediately submitted the BEP expenditure data, and TCCY staff revised the 2010 Report to include the information. The inclusion of BEP dollars results in changes in many of the charts and graphs that are now included in this report. To the best of our knowledge, the Resource Mapping 2010 Report Revised now includes all state and federal expenditures for children in the Tennessee state budget. Collection of such a massive amount of data continues to be a very challenging process. We are grateful for the collaborative support from staff in the 25 state agencies that submit data for these reports. Data submission for the 2011 report is well underway. We look forward to providing a report in April 2011 that includes expenditures for FY 2009 and FY2010. We continue to stand ready to answer questions and appreciate feedback regarding ways we can improve this report.

Global climate change will have a strong impact on development in coming decades. The absence of strong global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will hinder future development; conversely, smart climate policies can drive cleaner growth, resulting in a range of economic and social benefits. Through the Global Climate Change Initiative (GCCI) and other climate-related USG programs, the United States will integrate climate change considerations into relevant foreign assistance through the full range of bilateral, multilateral, and private mechanisms to foster low-carbon growth, promote sustainable and resilient societies, and reduce emissions from deforestation and land degradation. The Administration is working to make our climate financing efficient, effective, and innovative, based on country-owned plans, and focused on achieving measurable results. As part of President Obama's commitments in Copenhagen, we are working together with our partners to provide "fast start" climate finance approaching $30 billion during the period 2010-2012 to help meet the adaptation and mitigation needs of developing countries, including deploying clean energy technologies. To this end we will use the full range of mechanisms – bilateral, multilateral and private – to invest strategically in building lasting resilience to unavoidable climate impacts; reduce emissions from deforestation and land degradation; and, support low-carbon development strategies and the transition to a sustainable, clean energy economy. Investing in Clean Energy: Clean energy programs reduce greenhouse gas emissions from energy generation and energy use by accelerating the deployment of clean energy technologies, policies, and practices. The U.S. will deliver much of its assistance for clean energy deployment through multilateral trust funds that take advantage of existing large-scale greenhouse gas reduction opportunities and establish investment channels for and leverage of the larger private sector financing as demand for cleaner solutions increases. Bilateral efforts complement multilateral investments by helping to shape policy and regulatory environments that can ensure long-term sustainability. In its FY 2011 Budget, the Administration focused on four areas, including energy sector reforms that are preconditions for sustainable clean energy development, energy efficiency, low carbon energy, and clean transport. Promoting Sustainable Landscapes: To help countries that put forward ambitious programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), the United States announced it would dedicate $1 billion over 2010-2012 as part of the U.S. contribution towards the "fast start financing" reflected in the Copenhagen Accord. The U.S. commitment recognizes the crucial role of REDD+ to reduce emissions as part of Sustainable Landscapes programs that include forests and land use. The United States supports REDD+ activities because they offer cost-effective ways to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions while providing other sustainable development benefits. The Administration's strategy document, "Strategic Choice for United States Fast Start Financing for REDD+," will guide the implementation of efforts of U.S. agencies. Supporting Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation: Helping low-income countries reduce their vulnerability to climate change impacts will reduce the social, environmental, and economic...
The Psychological Effects of Global Warming on the United States: And Why the U.S. Mental Health Care System Is Not Adequately Prepared ©Perrush / Fotolia.com National Forum and Research Report February 2012 Kevin J. Coyle, JD and Lise Van Susteren, MD, National Wildlife Federation Climate Education Program With Support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Copyright © 2011 National Wildlife Federation Preface Dear Friends and Colleagues, Having the reality of the destructive forces presented by climate change fully register with people, so they will to act with the needed urgency, is indeed a challenge. And, while the physical and environmental effects of global warming are studied and described, what has rarely been addressed, and is as compelling a topic as any, are the psychological impacts. This report aims both to fill in the gap in our awareness of the psychological impacts of climate change, and by exposing the emotional side of the issue, to find the place in our hearts that mobilizes us to fly into action, forewarned, determined, relentless. It also is a call for professionals in the mental health fields to focus on this, the social justice issue of all times, with their capacity to work through denial and apathy, to bring insight and commitment before it is too late. The language of science is, admittedly, not a stirring call to action. Scientists are by nature cautious, and restrained. While this report does not aim to present the forum participants as flame throwers, for this work to accomplish a primary goal, the reader will need to feel something in reading it. The language used here, and some of the questions asked, may feel uncomfortably probing, as they pierce our armor. After all, most of us want to be patriotic, to be optimist about the future. But we need to fully confront certain realities. If we continue the adolescent-like disregard for the dangers we are being warned of, driving green house gasses up with only casual concern, there will be consequences. As our world begins to unravel and our role is undeniable, all eyes will be on us. Questions beg to be asked: • What will the rest of the world think of us? • Where will we be safe? • How will we feel about ourselves? The interplay between the climate realities we likely face and the potential psychological fallout from them was the subject of a conference convened in Washington D.C., in March 2009. A highly respected group of experts offered insights. Their thoughts, recommendations and supporting evidence are presented in this report. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the RWJ Foundation and to our forum participants. We also note the sad death of forum participant and friend Dr. Jerilyn Ross. She added her characteristic straight talk, practical knowledge, and bright intellect to the discussion. Sincerely, Lise van Susteren, MD, Forensic Psychiatrist Kevin J.

Gunakan PETUNJUK A untuk menjawab soal nomor 31 sampai dengan nomor 45! Text 1 The first ancient DNA sequences to be gathered ‐ 3400 base pairs from a 2400‐year‐old Egyptian mummy − were a proof of principle. A full genome sequence would be far more informative − perhaps explaining what killed King Tut, for instance. At present, Inuk's is the only published ancient human genome. However, a team led by Svante Paabo and Ed Green at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in 5 Leipzig, Germany, will soon publish the complete genome sequence combined together from several Neanderthals, from between 38,000 and 70,000 years ago. Neanderthals are not the only hominids whose genomes could be sequenced, says Willerslev. Homo erectus, a species that emerged in Africa about 2 million years ago, survived in east Asia until less than 100,000 years ago. If well‐preserved bones can be found, a genome might be possible, Willerslev says. 10 Willerslev's laboratory has just received bones from Spain belonging to Homo heidelbergensis, the predecessor to Neanderthals. "We are basically starting on it right now," he says. If these genomes ever materialize ‐ and that's a big if ‐ they could lead to a better understanding of how different hominid species are related, and when and where they branched off. If the genetic information is good enough, it may tell us something about the nature of past peoples − possibly even what they looked like. Ancient human genomes 15 could give us insights into the evolution of our own species, explaining when genes involved in disease and higher cognitive skills emerged. But DNA is not forever. As it ages, its long strands shred into ever smaller pieces. Eventually they become too small to reassemble, and all information is lost. "There seems to be a time horizon of 100,000 years or so under most preservation conditions during which intact DNA survives," Green says. Stephan 20 Schuster at Pennsylvania State University, who led the woolly mammoth genome project, thinks ancient genomics is already plateauing. Large chunks of Inuk's genome couldn't be filled in because his DNA had crumbled into small pieces. "We will face an uphill battle in trying to apply this to a large number of human remains," he says. 31. With reference to the whole text, the writer mainly deals with the topic on … (A) the use of ancient DNA in anthropology. (B) the past life of the Neanderthals. (C) the role of DNA in fossil studies. (D) DNA research on the Neanderthals. (E) DNA engineering in the Max Planck Institute. 32. The writer is mainly of the opinion that tracing ancient humans' life using their DNA … (A) is technologically possible through it has natural challenges.

RHODE ISLAND COLLEGE ANCHOR NOTES The Official Newsletter of Rhode Island College Intercollegiate Athletics Or visit us at: www.GoAnchormen.com Vol. XII No. 2 Providence, Rhode Island Winter Review/Spring Preview April 2011 Men's Basketball Reaches Sweet 16 Anchormen Capture Little East Tourney Crown for Fourth Time The Rhode Island College men's basketball team concluded another outstanding season by reaching the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Div. III Men's Basketball Tournament for the second consecutive season. Head Coach Bob Walsh's charges finished the season with a 21-8 overall record, reaching the 20-win milestone for the fifth straight year and sixth time in the last seven campaigns. RIC won the Little East Conference Regular Season Championship, sharing the title with Western Connecticut, for the fifth time in the last seven years, and the right to host the league's semifinals and finals for the third season in a row. The Anchormen's quest for their fourth LEC Tournament Championship in five years began with an epic, 102-92, double overtime win against longtime rival Keene State in the semifinals on Feb. 25. In the final seconds of regulation, the hosts were up by two, but an Owl putback after a missed free throw sent the game into overtime. Keene State made the most of its opportunity to try and put the Anchormen away, but after an intentionally missed free throw, junior center Mike Akinrola's off-balance three-pointer at the buzzer started "The Murray Center Miracle" and sent the game into a second OT. RIC was not to be outdone as it outscored the Owls, 10-0, over the final five minutes to head to the tourney finals for the fifth year in a row. Eastern Connecticut, which had shocked second-seeded Western Connecticut in the other semifinal matchup, proved to be no match for the battle-hardened Anchormen who easily dispatched the Warriors, 62-49, to win the crown once again. It was quite an achievement for RIC as the Anchormen were one of only five schools in the nation to advance to the NCAA Div. III Men's Basketball Tournament for the fifth year in a row. The Anchormen traveled to Oswego, N.Y. for first and second round action and opened with an 83-54 thrashing of Penn State Behrend on the strength of senior guard Antone Gray's 19 points. Rhode Island College moved on to face Oswego State in the second round and defeated the Lakers, 71-63, to reach the Sweet 16. Junior forward Mason Choice led four Anchormen in double figures with a 17-point effort. RIC Reaches Sweet 16 continued on page two.... RIC Mourns the Passing of George Tracy '51 Rhode Island College was saddened to learn that Athletic Hall of Famer George Tracy '51 passed away on Mar. 2 at the age of 85. Tracy, who was inducted into the college's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000, was a foursport student-athlete during his playing days at RIC, participating in basketball, baseball, soccer and track. He was also part of the Student Council, Men's Athletic Association and the Charles Carroll Club. He was named the College Man of the Year as a senior in 1951. After graduation, Tracy was a teacher and later became the principal at North Providence High School. He also served as the Director of Guidance at Smithfield High School. In North Providence, he coached little league, cross country an basketball. As an official, he was a member and past president of the Rhode Island Basketball Officials Association, the Association of Baseball Umpires of Rhode Island, the Rhode Island Football Officials Association and the Collegiate Baseball Umpires Association. He was inducted into the Providence Gridiron Hall of Fame (1995), the Rhode Island Interscholastic League (RIIL) Hall of Fame (2003), as well as, both the Rhode Island Baseball and Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame (1991). In addition, he was recognized by the National Football Foundation for his years of service as an official. "George was a mentor to me and countless other future coaches and officials in Rhode Island," RIC Athletic Hall of Famer Charlie Wilkes '64 said. "He was a man of utmost integrity and was well respected by all who knew him." The Athletic Department has set up the George Tracy Fund in his memory.

Providence College is a private, coeducational, Catholic college located in Providence, Rhode Island. With its 2010–2011 enrollments of 3,850 undergraduate and 735 graduate students, the college specializes in academic programs focused on the liberal arts. Identify and install a security solution that was easy to implement, didn't contribute to operational overhead and eliminated the shortcomings of signature-based detection technologies such as NGFW, IPS and AV, which cannot stop advanced malware. Solution Deployment of FireEye Web Malware Protection System 4000 Series appliance. Benefits Protection against advanced malware, zero-day and targeted APT attacks as well as immediate visibility into previously undetected malicious code and optimization of remediation processes permitted swift cost justification of project. Plus all college network traffic passes through the FireEye Web MPS appliance without latency. Ranked by U.S. News as one of the top two master's level colleges and universities in the North for thirteen consecutive years, Providence College sits on a picturesque hilltop campus two miles west of downtown Providence, Rhode Island, the state's capital city. Just like any mainstream commercial enterprise, the college is tasked with protecting sensitive data; relating to its students, faculty, staff and research projects. "There is some very sensitive data within the Providence College environment, but with the FireEye Web MPS appliance we know that advanced malware never makes it onto our network undetected." – Donald J. Schattle II, Information Security Officer, Providence College FireEye, Inc. | 1390 McCarthy Blvd. Milpitas, CA 95035 | 408.321.6300 | 877.FIREEYE (347.3393) | email@example.com | www.fireeye.com Case Study The Truth Can Be Scary Recognition of the limitations of tools acting solely on signatures catalyzed an extensive period of research for Don Schattle, Providence College's Information Security Officer, that culminated in a pilot of the FireEye Web Malware Protection System. "What we immediately saw was extremely eye-opening! The FireEye appliance was catching malicious code that had previously entered our environment completely undetected," He recalled. The FireEye Web Malware Protection System (MPS) appliance provides automatic, real-time blocking of next-generation Web malware. Inbound and outbound traffic is inspected to confirm and capture zero-day malware and targeted attacks. Risk is evaluated through the actual execution of suspected code in a full-featured virtual endpoint environment that precisely determines core intent. Schattle noted, "The inline installation of the FireEye Web MPS was a quantum leap forward for us. Not only will it detect and block a threat, it does so in a very elegant manner; the appliance immediately lets a user know why a Web page was not delivered." The FireEye appliance sits directly behind the firewall and is the gateway to a 5,000+ node campus-wide network. Schattle observed, "It's never a bottleneck for the network even though all of the college's traffic passes through it. The significant processing power and throughput capabilities of the unit just make this a non-issue." Schattle concluded, "Any device we deploy needs to deliver what was promised with a minimum of operator intervention and with a high level of reliability and autonomy: Our FireEye Web Malware Protection System 4000 Series appliance gives us exactly that." Time is Money "Early in the evaluation we meticulously tracked every single FireEye Web MPS-generated alert and found that in all cases, the notification was triggered by a real threat," said Schattle. "We instantly saw that our current security platform had missed a variety of malicious code." This accuracy allowed the college's IT team to dramatically reduce the time and cost associated with the detection and eradication of malware threats. Key Component FireEye Web Malware Protection System 4000 Series appliance FireEye is the world leader in combating advanced malware, zero-day and targeted APT attacks that bypass traditional defenses, such as Firewalls, IPS, AV, and Web gateways! © 2011 FireEye, Inc.

New York City's dynamic hotel industry is ever changing. New properties are still being added to the City's inventory of hote hotels across all five boroughs and property types. Repurposed landmark buildings are undergoing architectural and green renovations to become destination hotels in destination neighborhoods from Harlem and the Bronx to Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Boutiques and select service brands are making more and more neighborhoods attractive for visitors seeking a hotel to match their lifestyle, type of travel and budget. The summer and early autumn have seen the unveiling of many renovated and revitalized properties around the city.

Thanks, Amy. Looks like I'm not missing messages, and just have to put up with the orange for a while. Depending how cranky and pregnant I am at any given moment, the orange thing may really piss me off.
Does it usually just go away on its own? I feel like I had this issue like a year ago, but I can barely remember what I ate for lunch, let alone remember how the glitch got resolved a year ago!

Oh, it was actual messages (the same one twice). They just showed up a few hours after they were sent. Weird! But no more orange, so I'm happy. :)

You call that kid gay,
You call him a faggot,
A looser.
Kill yourself,
You tell him,
You're worthless.
He believes you.
He takes everything you say to heart.
Every day he cries,
His parents worry.
He sits in his room,
While you think of something else to say.
Everyday's a new day,
He hopes to make it through without you bulling
But every day you have something new to say.
And every day he cries,
His parents worry.
And slowly,
He breaks.
He thinks of ways to go,
Ways to escape.
He has a blade ready,
He cuts himself.
He has pills,
He has depression.
And soon,
It's your words running through his mind
As he stands on a chair
With a rope tied around his neck.
And it's your fault
When he steps off the chair,
And it's you who caused his death,
The one who's blamed.
And finally you see your mistake,
Because you murdered him.
You're his murderer,
And you can't take it back,
There's nothing you can do.
The kid is gone,
And it's all your fault,
You're the one to blame.
You can't go back,
You can't undo your mistakes.
What's done is done,
Nothing will change it.
No matter how sorry you are.

Using the "financial crisis"
Newspapers and magazines around the world are squeezing as many stories as possible from the financial crisis. Here are some numbers.
February 18, 2009 1:05 by Aarti Nagraj
We use the term "financial crisis" almost everyday. As do media outlets across the world. News of business, politics, life and living; everything is connected to the current situation in the global market. So we decided to conduct a little experiment to see how many times term is used.
We went to Google's advanced search, and monitored how many times the term financial crisis was used by major dailies in their websites in the last 24 hours. We only included Google's relevant results.
The National used the term 21 times in articles ranging from the UAE's pearl business, to those describing how visa rules are blocking cabaret artistes.
Gulf News been stingier than The National with the term. According to Google, they used it 14 times in the last 24 hours, on local and international stories covering the EU, China and the US.
Khaleej Times used it the most – 32 times – in features such as a special feature on the 500th anniversary of Protestant theologian, John Calvin's birth, and an article questioning whether the UAE's introduction of freehold visas will win back investors' trust.
The term appeared 25 times in Emirates Business, mostly in articles describing news from the region.
The regional results are somewhere similar, but how often is the used (or abused) by international newspapers?
The New York Times has used the phrase 58 times in the last 24 hours, "financial crisis" has featured 57 times in The Guardian, 26 times in The Financial Times, three times on The Times, 22 times in The International Herald Tribune, 45 times in the Washington Post, and the maximum, 81 times in The Telegraph.
By the way, they also use the terms economic/financial slowdown, credit crunch, downturn and recession.
