Bruno Mars Meets the Press at Super Bowl Halftime Show Conference
Bruno Mars will join an illustrious list of past performers including Beyoncé, Madonna, and Michael Jackson when he takes the field during the Pepsi Halftime Show at Super Bowl XLVIII.
Ahead of Sunday's game, the Grammy-winning crooner charmed reporters, old and young, with his Spanish and Elvis impression during the press conference at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City on Thursday.
The first question came from Michelle Williams, reporting for "The Insider." The Destiny's Child singer, who performed with Beyoncé at last year's show, asked him what his reaction was when he heard he would be performing.
"Some greats have been on this stage and we're just excited that we're getting this shot," said Bruno, who joked about coming well equipped with "three gallons of hairspray."
He just began rehearsals two nights ago at New Jersey's freezing cold MetLife Stadium. While he wouldn't give away details, he did offer a teaser.
"I hope to get people dancing and people smiling," he told one reporter. "If you ever come to one of our shows, it's just us up there with these songs and our instruments. I'm hoping that's enough."
He will also share the stage with the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers. "I've been a fan of theirs for such a long time. I admire their career," said Bruno. "They're a soulful band and not just musically, as people."
Watch Bruno meet the press.

Some basics to concealment. How to hide effectivly
Posted 24 February 2008 - 09:03 PM
Posted 04 March 2008 - 03:15 AM
To comment on your "shapes" notes. I would also like to add that the human eye naturally gravitates to structures (buildings, large logs, large bushes, ect.). So hiding near some can be hazardous to your health, but at the same time if you know where the OpForce will being advancing from you can position yourself in a manner contrary to the structure to alleviate some of the attention on your hide and possibly buying yourself those few precious seconds needed to reach out and touch someone. Also, if you have the advantage of playing in some dense woodlands separated by various clearings it would pay to know that the human eye also happens to drift to the horizon whenever coming into the open.
Knowing how the human eye works is also a blessing. The human eye detects three things: color, shape, and movement. As the previous gentlemen have mentioned earlier; masking these three things will make you practically "invisible". The right camo shade scheme for the environment handles the color, ghillie suits and ghillie carpets also do an excellent job of handling shape, but the most important and often overlooked problem is movement. The human eye has an uncanny ability to noticed even the slightest movement. Something as small as turning your head or shifting your gun can suddenly turn an awesome hide into a point blank execution. Patience, attention to detail, and using your head will be your only allies at time. If you're worried that you are going to have to move then think ahead before the "encounter" begins. Play it through your mind while you wait. "See" where they are going to be coming from and consider how they will think to approach your stalking grounds. Where will they be looking? Are they aware that they're up against a sniper? Honing your fieldcraft skills will let you know when the proper time is to move. Earlier it was mentioned that moving with the wind will help; thats awesome! Anytime something masks your movements and takes the attention away from you can be turned into an opportune time to move. Paintball is an adrenaline fueled sport. Its very easy for someone caught up in the action to gain tunnel vision during the paint fight. When your Broadsword has got the OpFor bunkered and he's laying enough balls on their location that it would paint a house twice over, using the advantage of your camo you can side door the enemies from your hiding hole and they may just chalk it up to the machine gun toating maniac landing a lucky shot, never considering that they were getting waylayed by your superior ability to conceal and make that first shot count.
Well, just some thoughts really.
In Him
,Bro. Nate

WASHINGTON, October 31, 2013 – Today's Enemies Domestic stop-motion animation short is a Halloween special, parodying the Obama administration's scandals against the backdrop of the Tod Browning-directed, 1931 version of the movie "Dracula," which starred Bela Lugosi.
President Barack Obama is portrayed as Dracula, former congressman Ron Paul plays the role of Professor Van Helsing, and Vice President Joe Biden appears as Renfield. The administration's scary scandals are lampooned in classic horror fashion, including Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS' targeting of political opponents, the government shutdown, and more!

Serves 6
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- twelve 1/3-inch-thick diagonal slices of French or Italian bread
- 1/2 cup crumbled Roquefort (about 2 ounces), softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cups torn frisée (French or Italian curly chicory), rinsed and spun dry

Make the toasts:
Bake the bread slices on a baking sheet in one layer in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden. The toasts may be baked 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container. They may also be baked at the same time as the croutons for the pea soup.

This is the second find from my trip to an antique store. I had went looking for this storage solution:
and I came home with some "extras".
I'm currently working on a latch-hook rug for my "grandson-to-be". I've just stored the yarns beside my chair in the bag they came in.
But, with this little find, I can now hide them away (except the packages I'm currently using, which store in the shelf below).
Again: the look fits into my rustic/casual look and I'm "reusing" rather than cutting down another tree.
Oh and the CD racks behind are freecycle treasures – repurposed to my "stuff" storage.

If you find you need to postpone repayment on your federal student loans, a deferment may be the best option. As long as you meet certain specified conditions, you are entitled to a deferment on your federal loans. You must request deferment from Iowa Student Loan and demonstrate that you meet specific conditions for the type of deferment.
Use the links at the left to learn more about the types of deferment available for federal student loans.
If you have unsubsidized Stafford, Parent PLUS or Grad PLUS Loans, when you defer payments, interest will accrue and will be added to your loan; therefore, deferring payments for an extended period of time may substantially increase your loan balance. Iowa Student Loan strongly encourages you to make payments that at least cover your accrued interest to avoid increases in your loan balance.
If you have private loans through Iowa Student Loan, you may also be eligible for deferment. Contact Iowa Student Loan for assistance with a private loan deferment.

|Complete Self-Sufficiency Planning Key to Designing Disaster Ready Hospitals
Hospitals continually prepare to handle mass casualties transported from all manner of disasters. But are those hospitals prepared to continue delivering care when the disaster is at their doorstep?
A recently published article in the Southern Medical Journal suggests a new paradigm for the design of future hospitals - and details the development of All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine (ACH JHM) in St. Petersburg, FL as an ideal example of this approach.
The article, "Complete Self-Sufficiency Planning: Designing and Building Disaster Ready Hospitals," (Brands, Hernandez, et al), points to events such as Hurricane Katrina which illustrated a major gap in disaster preparedness for at-risk institutions. Issues brought to light included: loss of back-up power due to flooding, inability to handle military helicopter traffic on hospital landing pads for multiple patient transfers, and entire facilities being forced to evacuate due to the inability to provide necessary temperature controls without functioning air conditioning. All these issues are best addressed in the facility design phase, the authors note.
"Disaster preparedness requires visionary yet pragmatic planning when new hospitals are constructed," says lead author Chad K. Brands, MD, Director of the Office of Medical Education at All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine. "Considering institutional lessons learned is critical to the design phase."
When designing and building its new facility, All Children's conducted a comprehensive vulnerability assessment. This led to the development of a construct the authors have termed complete self-sufficiency planning (CSSP), useful for future disasters, either natural or manmade. The critical core elements of CSSP are as follows:
The facility opened by All Children's in January, 2010 incorporated design elements to address these issues, including:
"There is no substitute for the best preparation in planning for the worst," the authors conclude. "If a disaster strikes, then ACH JHM is prepared to rely on the principles and pragmatics of CSSP and to function as an island of security in the midst of the storm."

The retail environment is changing rapidly. The market is moving from being supply-driven to demand-driven. Retail is evolving from a shopping experience to a social experience. And sustainability is increasingly being integrated in daily life. We are adapting to these new realities. Our skills, combined with technological opportunities, are enabling us to create something new. To create places where people connect with shopping centres and with each other: places where individuals can relax, socialise, feel at home and be inspired.
We are convinced that CSR is crucial in executing this strategy. We believe that CSR helps us to truly connect with consumers, especially in the rapidly changing world we live in today. It helps us to work together with our retailers in an innovative way. It enables us to provide our employees a sound working environment, where they can get the best out of themselves. It makes our centres contribute to the society by minimising our impact on the environment and maximising our social and economic impact. In other words, operating responsible makes us a more attractive company. Our Favourite Meeting Places simply cannot meet their definition when they are not managed in a conscious and sustainable way.
We hope that you find the content of our CSR Report and our CSR Website informative, engaging and interesting. If you would like to comment on any aspects please complete our feedback form below. We use this stakeholder feedback to improve the way that we run our business and to refine our approach to CSR.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- Fairpoint is total trash. I had static on my phone too and they kept telling me it was a problem with MY house wires. I called for months before they even came out to look and it and guess what? The problem was on THEIR end with THEIR equipment!!! And how long did it take to fix? 20 minutes tops. No joke. I spent months yelling and arguing with them before they would even consider coming out to even look at it. I made them send me a huge refund check for wasting my time, and then the best part of all? I switched to cable internet and got a VOIP phone provider called (ITP). They are really cheap. $25\month after taxes and I can call 60 countries included in the price, 30 features included like voice mail, etc and I LOVE it.
I wish I had done that sooner instead of fighting with FairCRAP to fix my phone line and my bills that they were messing up all the time. Even after they fixed my phone line, they messed up my bills and overcharged me for stuff I haven't used on my bill like number screening, $20 worth of extra charges I would have to have taken off.
I called them 5 months in a row about that too. VOIP phone is incredibly clear, cable internet is really stable connection so no problems there. I am NEVER going back to another regular phone company ever again.

This sounds more like an ad than a complaint.
ARIJANA on 09/28/2009:
Its not meant to be an ad, but I definitely do NOT mind telling other people how to get alternative, cheaper, better working service. :-) Oh, yeah and the address and phone number on the top goes directly to fairpoint headquarters too in case anyone else actually wants to write or call them and complain. More useful information.....
jktshff1 on 09/28/2009:
Looks to me like a well written complaint with a solution to the problem. VH
ARIJANA on 09/28/2009:
Yep. I wrote them a letter at the address listed and told them that because I spent months on the phone calling and having them give me the run-around that I wanted a healthy refund check for wasting my time, NOT a credit on my account, an actual refund check. I detailed in the letter exactly everything that was wrong and what I was told by reps when I called each time. I made sure I left nothing to the imagination. They did send it too after much ado and hassle. I also sent a copy of the same letter to the PUC to show them but PUC acted like they didn't care. Does that surprise anyone?! Also AFTER I got the refund check the bill that came immediately after that from Fairpoint was messed up and had about $20 worth of number screening charges on it at over $5 apiece, I had to call to get those taken off! That was after someone "promised" me that my next bill would NOT be screwed up. So when I decided to leave them and go with cable+voip, I told them that I wanted my last month's bill waived because my bills were still being messed up with charges that I didn't make. At that time after talked to 2 supervisors to get this done, they admitted that their software was screwing up accounts and billing for number screening and 3-way calling. They also finally told me that they would back the bill up to when I made my last payment and consider it paid in full. I haven't gotten a copy of that final bill yet, but I don't expect to owe them anything now. AND I have voip phone which I am totally enjoying. I can log in online and see exactly who I called, when I called, how long I talked, turn on\off anonymous incoming call rejection, voice mail, etc. Its great. I'm just sad I didn't realize to do it months ago instead of fighting constantly with Faircrap!
MSCANTBEWRONG on 09/28/2009:
Thanks for the information.
ARIJANA on 02/28/2010:
No problem. I've had ITPvoip.com (phone service) for months now, ever since the end of Sept 2009 and no issues at all. High speed cable internet is working great too. I'm so glad I dumped Faircrap.

Terrible Service Hum and Static on line
Posted by
PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- Fairpoint is the worst landline provider that NH has ever had! Shortly after they took over Verizon's landlines several months ago the service has gone downhill.
I had a intermittent problem with Humming and static on their lines. Internet is useless. Techs have been out and determined that it was on their end. Problem would get fixed only to reoccur a week later.
This has gone on since February.
the last tech visit on 6/30/09 told me that there were facility problems that they inhereted from Verizon and couldn't give a time frame when this would be resolved.
So on 7/1/09 one day before my billing cycle ends I call to cancel.
They want to charge me a $200 disconnect fee. That is retarded!!
I can't use my phone because is so noisy they want to Drag their feet on this issue.
After arguing with not 1 but 2 supervisors I got the line shut off without penalty.
No wonder why they lost over 200,000 customers in NH/vt & ME over the last several months.
And to top it off Fairpoint may be filing for bankruptcy.
So from now on I will be using my cell phone only for calls and hello COMCAST FOR INTERNET.
Now before any of you comment there is nothing wrong with the inside wiring or the modem. There is a fibre problem and a facility problem that was inherited by Fairpoint.
Additionally a few of my friends recently told Fairpoint to STICK IT! Also one of them was a big business account!
Good Bye Fairpoint communications

Kings Fine Cousins, He will Rejoin Team for OK City Rematch
Rookie forward/center DeMarcus Cousins will be fined for getting into a fight with Donte Greene Saturday night after the Kings' loss to Oklahoma City.
Cousins sat out Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns.
In a release from the Sacramento Kings, Cousins apologized, "I wish to apologize to my teammates, the Kings organization and Kings' fans for my role in an unfortunate altercation between teammates," Cousins said. "I accept full responsibility for my actions and know that I must keep raising my standard of professionalism to be my best and a great player in the NBA."
Also in the release, the team said they would be fining Cousins for the incident, and he will rejoin the team for Tuesday's rematch against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
According to Kings President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie, "Upon investigating the events of Saturday night, we feel it is necessary to impose an appropriate fine related to DeMarcus' behavior. We will now move forward together. We do not intend to give up on DeMarcus' talent or potential.

The team did not disclose how much the fine would be.
This is not the first time Cousins has gotten in trouble in his rookie season. Back in December, he was fined an undisclosed amount and removed temporarily from the starting line-up. Cousins was caught making a choking gesture after one of the Golden State Warriors missed a free throw during a game at ARCO Arena.Copyright © 2014, Orlando Sentinel

Welcome to Faiz-e-Hatimi
Yemen (Listeni /ˈjɛmən/, Arabic: اليَمَن al-Yaman), officially the Republic of Yemen (Arabic: الجمهورية اليمنية al-Jumhuuriyya al-Yamaniyya) is a country located on the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, the Red Sea to the west, and Oman to the east. To the south lie the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, which are bordered by Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea and Ethiopia.
Yemen's land area is just under 530,000 km2 (204,634 sq mi), and its territory includes over 200 islands, the largest of which is Socotra, about 415 km (258 mi) to the south of mainland Yemen, off the coast of Somalia. Yemen is the only state in the Arabian Peninsula to have a purely republican form of government. Its capital is Sana'a.
Yemen is country that everywhere just simply must be visited. It is a tourist's country, the country itself holds so many treasures that appeal to any open-minded visitor. The sights are amazing, the people are friendly, their culture is unique, and their food is tasty. Take trips with a personal driver through the mountains to see natural beauty located nowhere else on the planet. See the historical role Yemen played as it survived even during the times of the Sumerians and the Ancient Egyptians, and how no one was able to completely conquer Yemen. And enjoy what the country provides, like gemstones literally littered thoughout the mountains, precious beaches, and historical artifacts from this multi-faced nation with one heartbeat. [Source: Wikipedia]
Weather Precautions
Climate: Mostly desert; hot and humid along west coast; temperate in western mountains affected by seasonal monsoon; extraordinarily hot, dry, harsh desert in east. The weather can be chilly in areas where the elevation is high. Sana'a for example is at an elevation of over 7,200 feet. During the winter months, the temperatures can fall to zero during the night.

Time line healing workshops are now on.
What is Timeline healing.
Too many people dwell on the past. We use this as our excuse for the way we are today!
I recall a conversation many years ago with my brother, he was studying when I asked him how he was getting on retaining the information, he said he struggled as he was older now and struggled with it, I asked him why he struggles, he replied that when he was born he had the cord wrapped around his neck this caused him to lose oxygen to the brain and this has been part of the reason he struggles with retaining information.
He had gone through his life using this as an excuse as to why he could not retain as quickly as others. When we asked our mother about this, she was horrified and was pretty quick to tell him that he must of dreamt it as she was there and nothing like that happened!
Another occasion, a woman came to see me she had trained hard for races, knew she had the ability to win but when it came down to the race it was like a light went off and doubt would enter her head and she would lose. After some regression she recalled a time when she was very young and very slow at reading, during the holidays her grandmother helped her raise her reading age when she returned to school she had a test and was ahead of the class, this meant she would be moved to a higher class. When the teacher heard about this she said, "You can't have possibly done this, you must of cheated" and sent her back to the class. The child was so upset she went home crying. This thread was subconsciously carried through to her as an adult. Although she worked hard and knew she was capable of winning she had a fear that someone would challenge her and say she was cheating.
The threads we bring through in this life are not who we are from the past, we are a result of the relationships we have had up to now and sometimes they are not positive. Through Time line healing you will learn how to cut those threads and create your journey.

Weather in the Northwest is not getting worseon December 17, 2013 @ 5:47 am (Updated: 9:39 am - 12/17/13 )
But one local atmospheric scientist says there's nothing to suggest that the weather, at least in the Pacific Northwest, is getting any worse.
University of Washington's Cliff Mass had seen one too many weather stories proclaiming that our region's weather was getting more severe so he decided to actually look at the data, to see if he could find any trends or patterns to back that up.
"First we looked at the winds to see if the winds were increasing in places like Sea-Tac or Astoria or other places, and I found that they aren't increasing," Mass said.
"Then I took a look at pressure. Stronger storms would be associated with lower pressure in the middle of the storms. We looked at the trend from roughly 1950 to now to see whether the storms are getting deeper, lower pressure, and they're not."
So what is fueling all these stories proclaiming the weather is getting more severe than ever?
"The media keeps on hyping-up stories about all these terrible storms and how they may be associated with global warming, but I think a lot of it is the fact that the media loves to play up big storms," Mass said.
He also believes many global warming advocacy groups might be using these storms to push their agenda.
"I think they see this as a way to motivate people by trying to kind of scare them to suggest that bad things are happening right now," he said.
Mass believes climate change will impact the weather patterns in the Pacific Northwest, eventually, but he said it's not happening now.
"Most of those implications will be later in the century so things are going to get much worse, but right now, things haven't changed that much."
Mass said the next time you see or read a story that suggests our weather is getting worse, be sure to pay attention to who's behind it.
"When you see people who are not meteorologists, who are not atmospheric scientists, who are putting out these claims, you have to be very careful before you believe them."
Mass said there is no evidence that storms in the Northwest are getting stronger. The biggest wind storm in history in our area continues to be the Columbus Day Storm of 1962, with other big events in 1880, 1921, 1934 and 1951.
Chris loves the rush of covering breaking news and works hard to try to make sense of it all while telling stories about real people in extraordinary circumstances.

Some Bali Hope
Carbon footprint fears for UN climate summit - Telegraph
The 15,000 politicians, civil servants, green and industry lobbyists and journalists who will fly in are estimated to emit the equivalent of more than 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to the annual emissions of the African state of Chad.
The UN organisers and Indonesian government will announce a plan to offset the emissions of the whole conference by planting millions of trees.
But tree planting is not a form of carbon offsetting accepted by the British government or the UN's climate change experts
That's the bad news, here's the good news..
Bali Tsunami & Earthquake Risk
It is an unfortunate fact that the very same fault line which caused the December 26th 2004 tsunami, where the Eurasia plate pushes over the Australia plate, runs just south of Bali. It is also a chilling thought that Bali's main tourist areas are just 20 minutes away from a similar tsunami should a similar earthquake occur in the wrong place. But what makes this even more worrying is that some experts in Europe have indicated such a quake may be long overdue and perhaps hastened by the extra tension created between the plates just off south Sumatra, Java and Bali by the December 2004 disaster.
I'm the man jumping up and down here in the hope of triggering it there....

I came across Andrew Schwartz's piece on where atheism ends and religion begins and I kind of had to disagree with him on this.
The New Atheists love proclaiming that religion is dying. It's a claim that is hard to argue with. Religion is certainly on the decline all across the world. The "nones" (i.e. those who hold no religious affiliation) rank as the third most popular religion in the world, trailing Christians and Muslims respectively. Historically, we've never seen anything like this. Atheism was in vogue back in the Enlightenment era but despite all the efforts of Auguste Comte and his peers, it never gained traction. Religion was too imbedded in the culture and was the best answer to all those pesky questions about where we came from and what we are heading towards. Today, atheists are armed with the answers Darwin gave and a modern metaphysics that allows them to confidently argue against religious rhetoric and comfortably say that there is no god.
Atheism is not a religion. It has no rules, no regulations and no beliefs as such apart from one. That there are no gods out there and this belief is due to a lack of any concrete evidence about the existence of any god.
A Muslim is an atheist to the Christian god and vice versa.
And religion was never the best answer to anything. It was an answer that required the ignorance of it's questioner. The questioner must be ignorant to the way the world works if he can acccept a "god" as a explanation for how the universe works. And if you think about it, a god raises more awkward questions.
Darwin merely explained how a "force of nature" worked. His work while remarkable is as fundamental in creating the world we know as gravity. Darwin explained how humans grew crops and how we bred animals and how nature "bred" us. He eliminated humanity as a magical entity and provided a rational natural method for it's existence.
This is a huge cultural shift and, as many prominent atheist thinkers would suggest, a necessary paradigmatic change in human history. What I find disconcerting, though, are the holes being left in the fabric of society as we see the institution of religion retreating. As an example: when Hurricane Sandy devastated the eastern Seaboard, it was the synagogues, mosques, and churches that served as bases of operation for the Red Cross, #occupySandy, and other aid organizations. Religious communities quickly rallied their members to come out and aid the victims of the storm in a capacity that few other organizations could muster. This is not say that the non-religious did not show up in force to aid those affected by Sandy. Far from it. It was an amazing response across the board yet that response was certainly undergirded by and maintained through the willingness of faith communities to open their doors, their homes, and their lives to those who found themselves without.
The Red Cross is a humanist organisation. It's a product of secular and indeed "atheist" values. Atheists don't seek the destruction of religion as much as you think. Most of us think religion isn't a great thing but happily get along with religious people. More than religious people get along with us.
It's rather sad that we see a double standard where secular charity is simply ignored while religious charity is lauded. This is a major problem in many parts of the world where the quality of theological charity isn't up to scratch and where "missionary" workers are not selected on logical criteria and are often woefully out of depth and more interested in flogging Bibles than providing any real change to the people they "help". Not all missionaries like this but there are sufficient to leave a bad taste.
People helped each other irrespective of religious faith. In the USA, the atheists are still minorities and most atheists who do charity work are part of bigger secular organisations. And I fear that the author has simply not realised that when most atheists do charity work we don't do so under a big giant A. You may have been helped by an atheist and you wouldn't even know it.
Or, let's consider the food bank and soup kitchen systems in America. I live in Harlem and almost every food bank or soup kitchen is run by or through a local mosque, church or synagogue. The faith community provides the physical space, the staffing, and often times the funding. This is not to say that those associated with a faith community are the only ones working at or hosting services for those in need. Again, far from it. What I will say, though, is that faith communities account for a large part of these services and many of our brothers and sisters in life would go with far less in life if it weren't for churches, mosques and synagogues.
And many atheists support organisations such as Planned parenthood which provides sexual healthcare or are big supporters of progressive measures which mean that people don't NEED soup kitchens and food banks as much as they are given money in a sufficient amount to live on.
And many atheists work at these. Remember. In Real life I don't waggle the atheist flag. If people ask I don't lie about my lack of faith but most people would never guess that I am not Hindu.
These are only two examples and they in themselves are not the point I am trying to make. The examples above embody a larger spirit that I want to lift up, a spirit that is embedded, albeit often lost and forgotten, in the world's religions that compel the faithful to serve and love with abandon. Many of my friends who have transitioned from being religious to being atheists speak of the deep existential peace that it gives them. This is huge and nothing to be argued with. Anyone who has found themselves on the despair side of Sisyphean struggle knows just how sweet it is to find the calm on the other side. But contrary to the hyper-individualistic tropes fed to us by American culture, I would argue that finding the calm is only first step. The second and more important step is feeding that calm, peace, joy, and positivity back into society. Whether that is done through mentoring or activism or lobbying or some other form of praxis is immaterial. The point is to take the good and disseminate it as much as possible.
They also compel people to hate with abandon too… Lest we forget the same loving people who run soup kitchens may be the people throwing foetus dolls at women at abortion clinics.
And simply not believing in a god doesn't turn you into a heartless arsehole. It just means you don't do stuff because people
It is dangerous and facile to argue as many prominent atheists do that the decline of religion and the rise of secularism will somehow extinguish the devastating fires of systemic oppression and/or institutionalized racism/sexism/homophobia that are often associated with religions who appeal to an andro-centric God. If religion has completely failed us then we must ask ourselves what we are doing to assuage and correct the course of history. Because truly, if religion is the pariah that weighs society down, than the atheistic antidote must match — if not exceed — that which it is correcting.
The argument we have here is not that religious people are capable of doing "good things" but why on earth must we associate belief in a non-existent being as an essential part of doing good things. Are human beings so incapable of behaving properly that we must forever fear a celestial bogeyman? I say no. We can be good without a god irrespective of what gender he is biased towards. Wiccanism isn't a superior faith because it believes in equality of women, it's still a superstition.
And yes, we did create something. It's called secular values. It's campaigned for better treatment of women, GLBT and against racism. It's the entire progressive movement that is unaffiliated with religious groups. Again, just because it's not dripping with Dawkins doesn't mean it's not a product of the rejection of religion.
The new ideology of this age certainly is atheism. There is no arguing that, so, as the fresh new ideological mainstay, atheism must be prepared to assume, and improve upon, the positions once occupied by religious institutions. Or, if not occupy, then replace with new institutions that service the needs of society that government and private enterprise simply are not willing and/or are not capable of holding. It is easy to cast aspersions at the predominate institutions in power but it is a very different thing to replace them with a viable and functional alternative that covers the needs of society. Atheism cannot simply be about setting individuals free. It needs to address the deep suffering of society and take aim at dismantling the socio-economic structures that privilege the few while oppressing the many.
Atheism is an old ideology. The original Christians were prosecuted in Rome under charges of Atheism themselves.
To point out how silly this statement is? The world's biggest medical charities are the Red Cross and Medicin Sans Frontier and both are secular and humanist in ethos.
While religion has always been about maintaining socio-economic structure and are a method of getting people to "accept" the oppression. Marx didn't call religion a "opiate" because it was just addictive. He also did it to point out that it deadens the masses to real paiin which they tolerate.
The fight for the oppressed and the impoverished, both emotionally and economically, is what most of the world religions are predicated upon. Yet, the fervor for change among most of the faithful seems to have cooled and the rivers of change have grown stagnant. As evidenced above, there is still amazing work being done but that work is now struggling to survive. There needs to be an infusion of new life and new fervor, things that are found in abundance amongst the New Atheists. It is time that we evaluate how we are going to collectively move into history and what our legacy is going to be. In the words of Muriel Rukeyser, "If we are free people, we are also in a sense free to choose our past, at every moment to chose the tradition we will bring to the future."
Really? That may explain why the "most Muslim country on the planet and the spiritual home of Islam" effectively trades in human slavery brought about by the import of South/East Asians to work as labourers and house workers for incredibly small wages based on fooling them through a lack of understand of exchange rates". Or how about the usage of tithes and a denigration of education to keep many american christians "poor and uneducated"? Or how Hinduism's caste system is still rife today.
The only thing I will say is this. Atheists who do charity need to be visible or else people will simply assume that we do not do any charity. That only religious people get together and do things. That even if we do help secular charity, people will simply assume we hold religious beliefs. We need to stand up and be counted.

Suzanne Chazin
From Suzanne Chazin:
It was a cold morning in March 1997 when the 10-75 first came over the teletype at Rescue Three. 10-75: the code for fire.
I'd spent the last nine hours at the FDNY's Rescue Three for a magazine article I was writing about the company. But I'm also the wife of a New York City firefighter, so my interest was as much personal as professional. I'd eaten with the men, slept in their firehouse and gone on emergency calls. And now, I was standing in the truck, trying desperately to keep my balance and stay out of the way as the rig barreled over potholes and the men strapped on their air tanks and checked their equipment.
The fire was in a six-story tenement in Manhattan's Washington Heights. Flames poured out of the upper windows. Smoke billowed so black, you could see it a mile away. One of the firefighters talked me through a line of chiefs and I made my way up six flights of stairs in the adjoining building. It was cold enough outside to see my breath, but even without fifty pounds of gear on my back, I was sweating heavily.
On the roof of the adjoining building, I looked across. Firefighters were leaning out of smashed windows, spitting black bile and gulping for breath. Three firefighters had used a saw to cut a huge hole in the roof. Smoke and flames shot out like a geyser. I stared at the sooty, exhausted men, at the red demon they were battling. My own heart pounded with adrenaline and fear. I was twelve feet from the blaze. So this is what fighting a fire is like, I thought.
My husband Tom has been a firefighter with the New York City Fire Department-the largest fire department in the world-for 19 years. He is a deputy chief, and when he is on duty, he's responsible for every fire, explosion and building collapse from midtown Manhattan to Harlem. He is a second-generation firefighter; his father was a member of the FDNY for 30 years, and many of the characters and incidents in The Fourth Angel-from Jimmy Gallagher to the back room politics of the FDNY-are drawn in part from his experiences.
I had never met a firefighter before I began dating my husband, but I soon learned a lot about his world. It was dirty and physically draining. There were the near misses that he sometimes didn't tell me about for days. The walls he walked away from just seconds before they collapsed. The fires that started out small then suddenly exploded down a hallway, testing his instinct and reflexes. Tom was in charge of one of the ladder companies at the Happy Land Social Club fire that killed 87 people in March 1990. He walked through a graveyard of young corpses, just as Georgia does at the opening of The Fourth Angel. You don't forget that kind of devastation.
I didn't grow up around firefighters, yet their world was never far from my heart. I was born in Manhattan's Stuyvesant Town, a block from Engine Company 5. My earliest memories were of hearing those sirens in the middle of the night and catching a glimpse from my bedroom window at the red flashing lights as the engine roared by. When I was seven, my parents moved to Tenafly, N.J. A year later, the entire downtown burned. I didn't see the late-night fire, but I saw its aftermath-a small-town main street reduced to charred timbers and rubble. It was the first time I had witnessed the cataclysmic nature of fire and it frightened me. I had nightmares about our house burning to the ground for a week.
I grew up with a heightened sense of the physical world and its dangers. My father was a hospital engineer who had dealt with steam leaks and boiler explosions on his job. It was his knowledge of hospital boiler rooms that inspired a scene near the end of The Fourth Angel in which Georgia is being chased through a boiler room. And it was my dad who helped me figure out some of the logistics of electrical cabling for the book's climax.
But it was my husband Tom who first alerted me, through an FDNY bulletin, to a series of unprecedented fires across the country started by a kitchen-sink concoction with the thermal power of rocket fuel. From the moment I first read Tom's technical material on HTA, I was haunted by one chilling question: "what if these fires had been set in New York?" Suddenly, I had my story, and our two separate professions-the writer and the firefighter-converged. Or, as my husband put it plainly not so long ago: "I fight them, she writes them."

We are running the last regressions test on WebApp 2.0RC. This release is due next week, so stay tuned! #exciting
As the 7.0 version of Zarafa is coming closer and closer to the end of its support cycle we often receive the following question from customers and partners: "How do I update Zarafa to the most recent version?"
tl;dr the needed steps and changes can also be found inside the release notes of our 7.1 release and our Administrator Manual.
Keeping your Zarafa installation up to date is easy to achieve when you keep up with the regular updates. And an update from an old 7.0 release can also be done in a short time. The benefit of doing regular updates is that you get easy access to new features like an updated Zarafa WebApp or the first alpha release of our Exchange Webservices implementation called ZWS.
The following how-to will show you in detail how to perform the update from Zarafa 7.0.x to the most recent Zarafa 7.1 release. The update will be performed on a Ubuntu 12.04 system, but the general steps are the same for other distributions.
Before we begin with the actual upgrade please make sure the following conditions are met:
The full backup only serves as an additional layer of security in case anything goes wrong during the update. In general no problems or system delays are expected during the upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1.
Step 1 – Converting your serial to 7.1
The serial conversion can be done from inside the Zarafa portal. For this go to "Subscriptions" and choose "Convert subscription". Here you can choose the desired serial from the dropdown box and then select 7.1 as the target version.
Upon clicking on convert you will see a popup explaining that a once converted serial cannot be converted back again. After accepting the portal will display the newly converted serial.
The serial will also be mailed to the email address associated to your account. Itcan later be viewed in the serial overview.
Step 2 – Download the packages
Now, go over to the "Download" section and download the latest 7.0 and 7.1 releases for your distribution
Extra tip 1: After selecting the distribution and architecture for your download a direct download link will be displayed. This link can be used to directly download the packages to your server (for example with wget)
Extra tip 2: To not receive a file that starts with "download_platform.php?..." you should enable the so called content disposition headers for wget. Example instructions can be found on the blog post: How to make wget honour Content-Disposition headers.
We now have all the requirements. And we can begin the update!
The upgrade itself should be done when no one is working with the server (e.g. not during office hours), as you have to stop the zarafa-server process for several minutes which will lead to not responding mail clients.
Step 3 – Stop mail services
You should also stop new mails from coming in during the upgrade. This can easily be achieved by stopping all mail related services like your MTA (for example Postfix) or such services as fetchmail and getmail. Zarafa should be stopped as well to prevent your users from logging in. The fastest way to do this is to stop all services with a little "for loop" like "for PROC in /etc/init.d/zarafa-*; do $PROC stop; done"
Step 4 – Raise log level and enable safe mode
The Zarafa upgrade will now be done in two stages. In the first stage we are going to upgrade to the latest 7.0 release (the most recent version is 7.0.15 at time of writing). And after making sure that the upgrade went fine we will be going directly to the latest 7.1 release (currently 7.1.8).
As an additional precaution we will be enabling the so called "user_safe_mode" and raise the loglevel to 5 inside of the Zarafa server.cfg to see what's going on during the upgrade.
Step 5 – Extract packages
Extract the most recent Zarafa 7.0 packages in a directory of choice:
Step 6 – Install packages
The easiest way to install the updated packages is to remove the packages you do not explicitly need (like zarafa-multiserver*.deb and later on pacemaker-zarafa*.deb). Finally, install all remaining packages with "dpkg -i *.deb".
During the installation you will receive several questions if configuration files should be replace with newer versions:
You can always ignore these questions. We should keep the old configuration file as it is. At a later moment, we will update the file later when necessary. Congratulations: you have just updated your installation to the latest 7.0 version!
Step 7 – Check your upgrade
To check if the upgrade has been successful you should do a couple double checks:
Step 8 – Do the 7.1 upgrade
After you have made sure the 7.0 update was a success, stop the server again (for PROC in /etc/init.d/zarafa-*; do $PROC stop; done) and continue the upgrade to 7.1.
The first steps of the upgrade to 7.1 are similar to the steps in the upgrade to to 7.0.15. So, without further ado: Extract the downloaded package with tar, cd into the new folder, remove packages you do not need and then install the rest with "dpkg -i *.deb".
During the execution of dpkg you ate again asked if you want to replace configuration files, once again you answer no and "keep your currently-installed version". The first execution of dpkg will most propably fail, as packages such as zarafa-search need some new dependencies. But don't worry and just go ahead by issuing "apt-get install -f" to get the missing dependencies.
You should now repeat the "dpkg -i *.deb" command to update the remaining packages.
With all the packages update to their latest versions, we now have to take a deeper look into the configuration files. We are going to update these files by removing and adding configuration options (you can find all of these listed in the Release Notes). Don't worry about missing one of the new options; in case you forget to add one option its default value will be used. And this is fine for most Zarafa installations anyway.
Step 9 – Pinpoint new created files
To identify configuration files which need updating change into the /etc/zarafa directory.
Some of the files have the extension dpkg-dist. These have been created by dpkg, when you have answered not to update the existing files.
Step 10 – Remove old options and add new options in configuration files
I would like to point out a nice tool called confighelper which will help you to update your configuration files. You can get it in the Community Hub. Just download this script to your server, extract it with tar and then copy it over to /usr/local/bin for easy access.
Now for every file that has a second version if it ending in .dpkg-dist, use the following command (powered by confighelp.sh)confighelp.sh server.cfg server.cfg.dpkg-dist
In the first run the script will identify the options which have since then been removed from the configuration. For these you can simply open the corresponding file (server.cfg) and delete these. In the second run it will list options that are new and therefore potential candidates for inclusion. You can consult the man page of each configuration file to see which of the listed options you really have to include (for example man zarafa-server.cfg). In short; you only really have to remove the old zarafa-indexer related config options, everything else will work with default values.
Step 11 – Replace your serial
Please bear with me, we're almost done. Now replace the serial inside of /etc/zarafa/license with your converted keys.
Step 12 – Test your new 7.1 installation
Don't forget to do the same tests you previously did when upgrading to the latest 7.0 version (list users, send an email, login with a client).
Step 13 – The last mile
Everything is working okay? Nice job! These last steps will finish your upgrade:
You can reply to this blog post in case you have any questions. You can also visit the community forums to ask your questions and get help from others. I only have one last thing to add: have fun upgrading!
Kind regards,
Felix Bartels

Cytochrome P-450 1A2 Genotyping
The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP1A2 acts on 5-10% of drugs in current clinical use. CYP1A2 plays a major role in the metabolism of many commonly used drugs, including clozapine, imipramine, caffeine, fluvoxamine, paracetamol, phenacetin, theophylline, tacrine and others.
Furthermore, CYP1A2 activates several aromatic amines and thus is a key enzyme in chemical carcinogenesis. Several studies on the CYP1A2-dependent metabolism of caffeine or phenacetin have demonstrated that this enzyme is expressed in human livers at various levels amongst individuals, suggesting polymorphic control of enzyme activity.
Genelex CYP1A2 DNA test identifies the two major nucleotide variants by PCR-RFLP, providing increased sensitivity and quality performance. Analytical specificity and sensitivity for detection of these mutations are >99%.

Morning Media Newsfeed: Casey Kasem Dies at 82 | FCC to Investigate Netflix Dispute
Click here to receive Mediabistro's Morning Media Newsfeed via email.
Casey Kasem, Wholesome Voice of Pop Radio, Dies at 82 (NYT)
Casey Kasem, a disc jockey who never claimed to love rock 'n' roll but who built a long and lucrative career from it, creating and hosting one of radio's most popular syndicated pop music shows, American Top 40, died on Sunday in a hospital in Gig Harbor, Wash. He was 82. Mashable Kasem had Parkinson's disease and dementia. His children took him off life support in a Washington hospice this week. HuffPost Kasem will be remembered as the "the king of countdowns." He was best known for his work on American Top 40, which he hosted from 1970 to 1988, and again from 1998 until 2004, when he passed the job on to Ryan Seacrest. Kasem was also a talented voice-over artist, most famously voicing Scooby-Doo's pal, Shaggy. THR Kasem said he wanted to be the "voice of the guy next door," and his style was to accent the positive, considering each one of the hits a major accomplishment for each act involved. He never focused on the negative, such as a big drop-off for a particular song, and remained family-friendly. His shows also tugged at the heartstrings with such elements as "Long Distance Dedications." Variety Kemal Amin Kasem was born in Detroit to parents who were Lebanese Druze immigrants. He graduated from Wayne State University. Kasem got his start in radio during the Korean War, working for Armed Forces Radio. Kasem was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1985 and the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1992.

"Before I start, I have something very important to say: Go Blackhawks!" Emanuel said. "When I was coming home from the game last night about 12:30, I said, 'Who can I call?' and I said, 'President Clinton. He'll be up.' From years of working with him, he'd be the only person to go to, to give credit to the Hawks for a great game."
Hillary Clinton recalled rooting for the Blackhawks during her formative years growing up in suburban Park Ridge.
"I can remember listening to Blackhawks games -- on the radio -- when I was doing my homework all those years ago, and my father and brothers and I were great Blackhawks fans," she said. "But three overtimes, really? I can imagine a sense of euphoria as well as exhaustion affecting many of our Chicago participants today, and I heartily endorse the mayor's call of, 'Go Blackhawks.' "
