Rinspeed Understands What Autonomous Cars Need To Be
I have to hand it to Rinspeed. The Swiss company that's usually best known for creating delightfully bonkers concept cars has a new concept for an autonomous car, Budii. And, while it's still a bit bonkers, it realizes something about autonomous cars that most carmakers still haven't accepted: An autonomous car is a… »

arrest and pericardial window insertion, she developed right-sided pleuritic chest pain and relative hypotension. Two days earlier, based on the unlikelihood of recurrent pericardial effusion (with the pericardial window in place), the patient's mediastinal drain was removed. Again considering the possibility of pulmonary embolism and in an effort to diagnose the patient, the residents initiated intravenous heparin and a repeat spiral CT scan. Later that same morning, the patient's attending physician discontinued the anticoagulant medication. An emergency echocardiography revealed a large thrombus in the pericardium compressing the left atrium of the heart. The patient subsequently suffered a second cardiac arrest with pulseless activity while undergoing the echocardiography. An emergency sternotomy was performed; then the pericardial clot was evacuated and a laceration of the left ventricle was repaired. On the second day in the intensive care unit, the patient developed R-on-T phenomenon, followed by torsade de pointes tachycardia and subsequent pulseless ventricular tachycardia, requiring intubation, defibrillation, and amiodarone therapy. Laboratory results revealed the patient's renal function and metabolic acidosis had worsened, requiring dialysis.
Although the authors indicate that the decision to discount tamponade and restart anticoagulation therapy may have been the worst decision of the case, it may be difficult even here to get a consensus opinion on whether the decision was an "error" and whether such a system error could be prevented under the circumstances. The authors suggest that the resident's error is more likely from not knowing his own skill limitations and not seeking a competent supervisor to help in making the decision, which represents an important policy issue throughout health care. The patient eventually recovered and was discharged after a 27-day hospital stay, with more than $200,000 in hospital charges and the need for long-term dialysis.
Virtua Health, a not-for-profit community hospital system in southern New Jersey, adopted Six Sigma in 2000 to achieve operational goals. One of its first six projects, conducted between January and June 2001, sought improvements and error reduction in anticoagulation therapy. Specifically, the hospital sought to reduce errors related to incorrect pump settings, incorrect use of pumps, delays in obtaining and reacting to activated partial thromboplastin time (aPPT), dosing errors, and mixing errors. Other QI activities, including RCA, failed to address the overall performance of the anticoagulation process in quantitative terms.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Getting to know RHP Zack Greinke
Phoenix — We just had our first interview session with new Brewers right-hander Zack Greinke, and suffice it to say he is a fascinating, fascinating individual.
The reason we didn't get to talk to Greinke until today is because he really isn't that comfortable talking to reporters and doesn't want to "waste time" talking to them because he thinks it takes away from his preparation for baseball. His social anxiety issues from the past in Kansas City all play into that situation and that background is necessary to understand how Greinke functions as a major league pitcher.
Greinke doesn't spend a lot of time interacting with teammates, either, for the same reason, and admitted that fans can be "annoying" for their constant desire to get autographs and ask for a player's time. But he's not malicious in any way about those things. It's merely how he deals with things. And the 2009 AL Cy Young winner said he has enjoyed his early days in the Brewers' camp. »Read Full Blog Post

Well that wasn't exactly confidence inspiring, but I'll let his pitching on the mound do the talking.
"Baseball, in my opinion, would be a lot better if you could just make the same salary as everybody else in the world and you don't deal with any of the other stuff," Greinke said. "But that's not how it is. The main thing is I want to pitch against the best players in the world, and you can't do that playing in a pick-up baseball league in your town."
If that is true and not made up lies, I would like to see him sign and affordable extension with Milwaukee if he likes the city and the team plays well. If he signs a massive deal in a big city somewhere else we know its all bs and he is the same as fielder.
"Probably 99% of the time I do it like this is because every day I come to the park and want to get focused on my start, and then random people come and waste my time talking every day. It takes eight minutes to get a real question out because they're like buttering me up. Then they get to the question and it's a stupid question. So it's a waste of 10 minutes, and in that 10-minute time I don't get to do what I needed to do."
Awesome, he's Terminator-esque in his efficiency. Hopefully he can actually get the job done instead of ending his life slowly lowered into molten steel.....
Wow...and I don't mean wow in a negative way. Just surprised me is all. I guess I agree with fritz, as long as he puts his focus on his pitching I guess the rest really don't matter.
I hope people don't take any of Greinke's comments negatively. I have
dealt with something similar to Greinke and I know that with
medication, it can be well managed, but it can still be trying. He shows
a lot of courage and strength going out there an doing this and I think it
is very admirable. Managing a disorder like his and playing professional
sport is really tough. That he is able to do all that and interact at all
with media, fans, etc. is really impressive. Whatever he is able to do in
terms of media, fans, etc. is just a bonus given what his ability to
manage this and play great baseball.
I don't care about anything other than his on-field performance. With that being said, if he and/or the team struggles, guys of his ilk can really accelerate the "sinking of the ship."
all those so far's make me a little nervous hope all goes well
"We have four legit rotation guys and the offense should be as good as it always is." - LOL, I guess he won't be "making friends" with Narveson, I love Greinke's honesty, anybody else would've said 5....
OMG! Please pitch well. Don't psych yourself out of baseball.
I've read similar things like this about Greinke in the past. Things like this and his overall career numbers which are OK is why I lean a bit more towards lets see how he does before we get all "lets lock him up long term" and all. He seems like he is one bad day away from just checking out.

KENNEWICK - "We played as bad as we possibly could have," Walla Walla Community College men's basketball coach Jeff Reinland said, "and we still had a chance to win in the end."
The final score was 76-69 as Linn-Benton's Roadrunners rolled over the Warriors late Sunday night at the Toyota Center in a loser's- out consolation bracket of the NWAACC Championships.
A very cold shooting night for the Warriors made it difficult to compete, let alone win. Walla Walla shot just 34.2 percent from the field and heaved up 38 3-pointers, making just seven - 18.4 percent.
"They let us shoot from the perimeter," Reinland said. "They didn't guard us. We just didn't have the right guys shooting, or the guys that normally make shots, didn't tonight."
Linn-Benton got out to a 7-0 start in the first three minutes and led throughout the game.
The Warriors missed on their first four shots before Jay Payne hit a driving lay-up to make it 7-2.
At the 14 minute mark, it was 17-6 Roadrunners.
Mac Stannard stole a front-court pass and converted a fastbreak lay-up with Ryan Schulz scooping in a lay-up, to try to keep the Warriors within striking distance.
Next, Payne hit a 3 from the right arc to close the lead to eight at 17-9.
A jumper from the right side from Jason Smith and a bomb from him from downtown, sandwiched around a hoop by the Roadrunners, made it 19-14 with 10 minutes remaining in the first half.
Then the Warriors' trouble started.
Linn-Benton went on a 14-2 run to increase the lead to 33-16.
The Roadrunners ran away from the Warriors with a combination of free throws, jumpers and drives to the hoop.
Towards the end of the Roadrunners' run, tempers ran high. Warrior Colton Arias was knocked down at one end of the floor on offense and received a technical foul for jawing with the referees while on defense.
Soon after the technical on Arias, Reinland received one of his own.
After the technicals and ensuing foul shots, the Warriors started pumping in the shots from outside and went on a 14-6 run to close the half.
Jordan Steele hit a trey from behind the arc, Crane drove to the hoop, Moore hit two treys and Smith bombed one away to cap the run going into intermission.
The halftime score was 39-30 Linn-Benton.
The Roadrunners lead swayed back and forth in the second half, as Schultz was seemingly the only answer that the Warriors had to Linn-Benton's offensive attack.
Schulz scored 21 of his game-high 25 total points in the second stanza.
The sizable Roadrunner lead was cut to four at the eight-minute mark, and then three with six and a half minutes left.
But they could get no closer, as 16 turnovers and poor offensive execution plagued WWCC.
"We had so many unforced mistakes," Reinland said. "Not executing the offense was also a problem."
In other second-round games Sunday, Big Bend downed Highline in overtime, 84-81; Yakima Valley held off Chemeketa, 84-78; Clark hand Skagit Valley a 77-65 defeat; Spokane handled Clackamas, 76-69; it took three overtimes, but Pierce edged Bellevue, 92-91; Peninsula beat Tacoma, 63-57 and Whatcom had little trouble with Mount Hood, 78-60.
"Overall, I'm really disappointed with the this year's tournament showing," he said. "I'm the most disappointed that I've ever been in my life while coaching basketball.
"We had our chances, we just couldn't hit enough of the big shots and that has been the story all year long for this team."
Linn-Benton 76, WWCC 69
Linn-Benton (76) - Roos 4-11 13-17 21, Kruesi, M. 5-12 2-3 14, Hull 2-2 1-2 5, Kirkwood 3-12 0-0 6, Christensen 1-3 0-2 3, Wolf 2-4 0-0 5, Chambers 0-2 0-0 0, Kruesi, K. 1-1 0-0 2, Bansemer 1-3 4-6 6, Yundt 2-4 2-4 6, Garlington 4-7 0-0 8. Totals 25-61 22-34 76.

History, not geography, ought to guide how the OUA is aligned come 2013 when the Algoma Thunderbirds essentially take the spot in the league that the RMC Paladins' vacated last week. There probably is no perfect way to fit in the northern 'Birds. Instead of having a team in Kingston whose campus is jogging distance from another team in Kingston, the OUA now has a team in Sault Ste. Marie. The Soo is a four-hour drive from the nearest OUA basketball-playing school, Laurentian, and about a 10-hour drive from most OUA West schools. To Ontario people, that's a huge jaunt. (Cue Cam Charron laughing.)
At the risk of wading into "what, the renovating the restaurant you don't own part, or spending the 200 million you don't have part" territory, the solution seems fairly obvious. The Thunderbirds should play in the East division, presuming the OUA is married to its two-division, 22-game format.
The alternative is that one of the West division teams, perhaps Guelph since it's near Highway 401 and is relatively close to the GTA, shifts to the East. At the same time, the Gryphons would be giving up long-running rivalries with other Southern Ontario schools. Why should a team of several decades' standing have to sacrifice to make room for the new kids on the block? It would be the same story if the McMaster Marauders were the ones to shift to the East.
Please keep in mind the OUA West was essentially a distinct league until it began crossing over with the East in 2001-02. Up until then, the divisions only came together for the Wilson Cup. The West schools have also been more traditionally minded/reluctant to change; by and large they were later to get on board with having cross-over semifinals for the OUA Final Four. One can imagine there might be some heel-digging over who has to switch to "the Carleton division." Putting Algoma in the East might sidestep some of the politics.
There's more to this than preserving tradition. Making sure teams don't have to travel excessively should be high-priority in university sport, whose stated aim is make sure student-athletes graduate with stellar marks.
Porter Airlines services the Soo and Sudbury. It obviously flies from Ottawa and Toronto, which takes care of the six teams in eastern and southern Ontario. The point is the obvious. Algoma probably should go in the OUA East and have the same arrangement Lakehead does in the West, where it plays two-game series every weekend, starting with the first week back in January. Fly in (or out) on Friday, fly home Sunday morning or afternoon. That might be better for the players than trying to sleep on a bus and than having to study on Sunday while they're mentally run down. The OUA West schools also get the long trip out of the way in November, before winter driving conditions take hold. (In my imagination if nothing else, teams would have to do a Sudbury-Sault Ste. Marie roadie; Queen's and York make better sense as travel partners since both schools are close to the 401.)
At the very least, the OUA has a year to cost this out and see if it makes sense. If it's a no-go, then someone in the West has to the bite the bullet next season. It's just seems worth seeing if there's a cost-effective way that keeps rivalries intact and perhaps encourages a new one between Algoma and Laurentian in the near north.
3 comments:
What I would find interesting is how they plan to do the Western/Windsor roadtrip. I guess they could fly to Toronto, fly to Windsor, drive to London, drive to Toronto, fly to the Soo. But if they don't want to fly, would they go through Michigan? (Saving 8-10 hours but requiring passports and border crossings and all that.)ReplyDelete
And yes, this is small time compared to travel faced in the West. Algoma is four hours from its nearest divisionmate, which sounds bad .. but UNBC is twice as far from TRU.
The problem with your scenario is that the OUA East doesn't play midweek conference games every week so back-to-back in Algoma will require a complete redesign of the rest of the schedule. The logical move is to pair up Algoma with Laurentian and York with Queen's. It's not perfect but it causes the least amount of disruption and both trips can be done in about 3 1/2 hours (at least it has every time I've traveled between the core of the two cities.)ReplyDelete
Why does it require midweek games? I don't see why the OUA West schedule is any different because they play Wed./Sat. instead of Fri./Sat.ReplyDelete
Agreed on twinning Algoma/Laurentian, Queen's/York, Toronto/Ryerson, Carleton/Ottawa if need be ... Queen's and York are both close to a 400-series highway.

There are language exchanges: Language Exchanges - ESL Web Directory - UsingEnglish.com
Other than that, you'l have to pay for private lessons online. There are lots of places offering online classes.
Thanks for sharing these links. I'm actually looking for something a little different from normal online classes/tutors. I'm looking for a website where I can practice spoken English with native speakers. I don't mind paying but I don't want it to be a traditional class with grammar/vocabulary. I think that approach does not work. I need to a lot of conversations.
Let me know if anything like this comes to your mind
You could arrange that with any online teacher- just tell them that's what you want. I'm not sure where else you could go for the online contact other than teachers, but any teacher worth their salt can put the grammar to one side and focus on conversation.

text: The threads on EduGeek re YouTube tend be be a huge disappointment. On other threads we bang on about the quality of the network, security, software licensing, professionalism, investment in training and buying the best kit and then seem to bend over backwards to deliver poor quality video/audio content with little care for copyright or the educational value of the material. YouTube threads generally seem to bring out too much Geek and too little Edu.


text: I believe I have mentioned this before but after years of providing all for my kids and having to step up for hubby's kids I am going to have to disengage and steer hubby in stepping up and taking care of his own when they visit. I have a special needs child who is a handful and keeps me extremely busy. I do everything for my own two and I have always felt like when my step children come to visit that their dad needs to step up and do some cooking. For years I've busted my butt making huge meals and doing all the clean up of the kitchen and around the house and now I resent it. I should not have to do all for mine and all for his. I've mentioned it and he has made snarky comments like I know you hate cooking for my kids. He doesn't get it. I have tried and tried and explained that he should step up and help and do more. I have tried telling him things like the kitchen is closed this weekend, what are you going to make for dinner, etc. We just end up arguing over it. He says stupid things like you hate my children, which is a lie. He has extreme guilt issues and parents with guilt and expects me to just do everything. Well this weekend I am taking off mid day on Sat and Sun and won't be around to cook and clean. I'm sure we will again get into another arguement but I don't care. They are bringing a friend over too this weekend. We have very little space. One gets the couch, the other the floor and I suppose the third can sleep in the hallway. We have now become a hotel for his daughter's friend to come and see her brother in town. The last time she came up she ate me out of house and home. I'm tired of it. I don't mind cooking and doing for others but because I do everything for mine, I resent also having to do everything for his. He will be in a bowling tournament all day Saturday and has to work on Sunday. I'm not going to sit around and entertain all three guests. I've made plans to go out and do things and I wasn't even asked if we could have a house full this weekend. Tired of doing and doing and not receiving much. I need to put myself first for a change and let dad step up. If I always do then he's got the excuse that he doesn't have to. Let him get McDonald's and pizza and play hotel for a weekend. The cook, maid and bottle washer has the weekend off!!

Hospital Lab Technician Education Requirements and Career Info
Hospital lab technicians process tests on body fluid specimens such as urine, blood and stool samples. These are often used to screen patients for disease or determine an appropriate course of medical treatment for a specific illness. A postsecondary degree is almost always mandatory for hospital lab technicians; many states and individual employers also require licensure and certification, respectively.
Hospital Lab Technician Education Requirements
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that some form of postsecondary education is almost always required for an entry-level employment as a hospital lab technician (www.bls.gov). The National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) grants accreditation to 205 institutions offering certificate or degree programs for clinical or medical laboratory technicians (www.naacls.org). Many of these institutions offer certificates and associate's degrees.
Certificate programs, which generally require a year or less of full-time study, teach students how to perform basic hospital laboratory procedures, such as urinalysis and bloodletting (which is also known as phlebotomy). Students are also educated in relevant scientific theories through required courses in anatomy and physiology, chemistry, hematology and immunology.
Associate's degree programs teach students about various techniques used to analyze blood, immune system health, nutritional levels, hormones and electrolytes. Most curricula also feature numerous required clinical laboratory units. This combination of theoretical instruction and hands-on experience allows students to become well-versed in the proper procedures for taking patient samples and conducting laboratory testing, analysis and equipment maintenance.
In addition to completing one of the educational programs detailed above, students can earn certification as a Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) through the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Board of Certification. Specialty certifications in areas such as chemistry, laboratory safety and hematology are also available. Students must pass an ASCP Board of Certification exam to become certified. Some states mandate that hospital lab technicians obtain licensure before entering the workforce. Exact licensing requirements in these states vary; however, New York and California both accept ASCP certification as adequate preparation for licensure (www.ascp.org).
Career Information
Hospital lab technicians are responsible for administering tests on patients and may also personally collect samples before processing, recording and analyzing the results in hospital laboratories. These procedures are collectively conducted to diagnose illnesses or disorders in various parts of the human body, such as the immune, digestive and reproductive systems. Hospital lab technicians may perform general laboratory work or specialize in one area of medicine, such as immunology or phlebotomy.
Hospital lab technicians work in hospitals and hospital-affiliated research laboratories. In order to produce accurate test readings, they must be aware of and compliant with all laboratory health and safety standards and procedures. Because they communicate test results to physicians, technicians may also benefit from strong interpersonal skills. Entry-level technicians generally work under the supervision of senior technicians or lab technologists. Increased experience can lead to a position as a technologist or laboratory manager; however, career advancement may require additional education.
According to the BLS, the job market for hospital lab technicians is strong, with more positions available than technicians qualified to fill them. As of 2008, the BLS predicted hospital lab technician employment would grow at an above-average rate for the decade between 2008 and 2018 (www.bls.gov).

Lido residents look down road to MURT project
Date: November 30, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Last week's Sarasota City Commission meeting included more than two hours of presentations and public comments about the Bird Key park phase of the West Bayfront Multi-Use Recreational Trail.
But the Bird Key Park part of the project, which includes two phases, the first of which will begin in January, is just one stop in the road toward the ultimate goal of connecting the existing Bayfront MURT with Lido and St. Armands keys.
Neil Gaines, manager of capital projects for the city of Sarasota, spoke about plans for the Ben Franklin Drive portion of the West Bayfront MURT project to the Lido Key Residents Association at the group's monthly meeting Nov. 21. Gaines told residents the city was in the process of securing permits from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for the Ben Franklin Drive phase of the project but took a brief hiatus to address crosswalks on the street, some of which terminate at intersections or in grass.
"They're basically crosswalks to nowhere," Gaines said. "We're going to modify them so that they terminate into dead-end onto the sidewalk and then we will get the FDEP permit."
Gaines said the plans will include plugging up certain unofficial beach access points by replanting sea oaks, which may be controversial to some. The plan also will include planting palm trees on both sides of the trail.
The Lido Key phase of the project will begin at John Ringling Boulevard and stop at the Lido Beach Resort, 700 Ben Franklin Drive.
One person attending the meeting asked a question why the trail wouldn't extend further down Ben Franklin Drive, to which Gaines responded:
According to Gaines, plans for the Ben Franklin Drive part of MURT are 90% complete, and the city hopes to be on schedule in the permitting process by January. A public input meeting will take place early next year at City Hall.
Completion of the entire project is slated for September 2010.

Police Shot Darrien Hunt 6 Times In The Back
Posted by Richard Warnick in Authoritarianism, cruelty, Police Brutality, Racism on October 29, 2014
Last month, 22-year-old Darrien Hunt was shot and killed by police in Saratoga Springs, Utah, while carrying a toy sword. The Utah State Medical Examiner's Office autopsy confirms that six bullets hit Hunt in the back. Contrary to what was implied in the original police report, a toxicology analysis concluded that Hunt had no drugs in his body.
Susan Hunt told the Deseret News: "They killed my son because he's black. No white boy with a little sword would they shoot while he's running away.
"Those stupid cops thought they had to murder over a toy. This is my baby. This is my family. And they ruined my family."
Again, we have to wonder what they were thinking. Why shoot an unarmed citizen who is running away? Assuming the police believed they had no choice but to use deadly force, why not shoot ONE TIME?
Finally, somebody needs to educate the police about cosplay.
At the time of his death, Hunt was wearing an outfit that bore a striking resemblance the Japanese anime character Mugen, from the series Samurai Champloo. The weekend prior to his death, Salt Lake City hosted the annual Comic Con event at which attendees dress up as comic book characters in a practice known as "cosplaying."
Prosecutors won't file criminal charges in this case. Darrien Hunt's family plans a civil suit against the police.
Mythical Religious Persecution Narrative and a New Jim Crow
Posted by Glenden Brown in Activist groups, American History, American People, Authoritarianism, Bigotry, Conservative, Homophobia, Religious Fundamentalism, This Blog on October 24, 2014
Earlier this week, a story spread like wildfire about two pastors threatened with jail time and massive fines for not performing gay weddings. Attorneys from the right wing ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) filed a lawsuit on behalf of the pastors. The story was breathless, controversial and inaccurate.
The pastors in question run a for profit business that as recently as two weeks ago was very clear that they offered both religious and civil ceremonies. They run a marriage mill, performing something like 1400 weddings per year. Oh, and the big error? The city of Coeur d'Alene had not threatened them with fines or jail time, there have been no complaints filed against them. The couple in question asked the city attorney what would happen if they failed to comply with the city's nondiscrimination ordinance and refused to marry a same-sex couple; the city attorney spelled out the possible legal consequences. End of story. Not really. I'll let Jeremy Hooper explain:
When I first learned about the story of Idaho's Hitching Post, which was suddenly the far-right's latest marriage "victim" for supposedly being threatened by the city of Coeur d'Alene for not marrying a same-sex couple, I thought the whole thing was too coincidental to be true. I didn't focus on it in my last post on the subject since I had the much more newsworthy discovery that the business had changed its website so that they could seem much more faith-driven than they had been operating in the past. But a part of me was wondering how the same business that went to the press back in May with its preemptive marriage fears, well before Idaho had marriage equality, could now be in the spotlight in such a major way. it just seemed too perfectly orchestrated.
To wit (Gridley is the city attorney):
"Their lawsuit was something of a surprise because we have had cordial conversations with them in the past and they have never disclosed that they have recently become a religious corporation," Gridley wrote.
Gridley wrote that the city will not prosecute legitimate nonprofit religious corporations, associations, educational institutions, or societies or other exempt organizations or anyone else as a result of their lawful exercise of their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and religion.
In addition to exempting those groups, Gridley wrote that the anti-discrimination ordinance states that it "shall be construed and applied in a manner consistent with First Amendment jurisprudence regarding the freedom of speech and exercise of religion."
When contacted by The Press for comment, Don Knapp said the Hitching Post is not operating as a not-for-profit religious corporation. He also said he does not know ADF Attorney David Cortman.
Let's be clear – almost everything you've heard about the case is wrong. No complaint has been filed against The Hitching Post. If they are a legitimate religious organization, they are exempt from the city's ordinance. (It's worth noting that they have been an ordinary, for profit business up to this point and have a history of performing both religious and civil ceremonies; they have not been, up to this point, a church or religious organization.)
The facts haven't stopped hosts of religious people sanctimoniously declaring that "no one should be forced to do something that violates their conscience" and "no one should be forced to participate in a same sex wedding." Utah legislators have obviously seen the story and are alreayd discussing a bill that would allow people to declare they have a religious objection and exempt themselves from participating in same-sex weddings (if history is any guide, the bill will pass, but will be so overly broad it will fail constitutional muster and be struck down, leading to all sorts of public hysterics over activists judges and repeated sharing of bathetic overhyped tales of bakers and florists and photographers and poor picked on pastors). It's clear that a great many religious persons oppose same-sex marriage, and believe their opposition is entirely based on theological reasons and fear that at some point, some legal change will force them to "accept" same-sex marriage.
I don't want to minimize the difficulty marriage equality presents for many religious persons. People do not lightly give up tradition or traditional teachings about sexuality and relationships.
Until very recently, most people casually accepted the idea that something was "wrong" with gay and lesbian persons. The idea that sexual minority persons are not inherently sick, immoral or incapable of forming long-lasting, stable relationships is relatively new in our society. The idea of same-sex marriage is also relatively new (although the Boston Marriage is a fascinating bit of history). Many socially and religiously conservative persons continue to embrace the belief that gay persons can become straight through therapy and prayer, that being gay is a choice and a bad one.
For some persons, the idea of a same sex couple marrying seems absurd at best. These individuals define marriage as a man and a woman and exclude anything else (one suspects Utah State Rep. Kraig Powell is such a person). It's not uncommon in discussions to hear someone declare that marriage is between a man and a woman and anything is fake and the law can't make "real" what isn't real. The "love the sinner hate the sin" motto employed by religious persons reveals more than most people think – for many religious persons, gay people are less than straight people and same-sex couples are less than heterosexual couples.
With the Supreme Court's decision to not hear the various cases coming to them, the number of states in which same sex marriage is legal increased dramatically in one week (at JoeMyGod, Joe observed that there had been 9 separate marriage equality maps in the week of October 6).
Religious conservatives have very visibly and vocally expressed their dismay. We've heard all the usual buzzwords about out of control judges, judicial activism, and the usual predictions of coming tyranny. Religious conservatives are asking "What next?" with a combination of weariness and trepidation.
There is a challenge for religious conservatives. They're being asked to acknowledge and live with the reality that same sex marriage is legal and to recognize that means some changes on how they conduct their business. I am certain there will be some lawsuits when religious business owners try to refuse family insurance coverage to same-sex spouses. We will, no doubt, hear paeans to the free market and dreamy invocations that gays can just go elsewhere for jobs and services. Thus far, the courts have not be amenable to such arguments. From a legal standpoint, a marriage is a marriage. Treating married couples differently will not be acceptable.
Religious conservatives are also going to have to face activism within their churches. Although legally there's no reason to fear that churches will be forced to recognize same-sex marriage, gay persons can be incredibly effective activists. Churches will feel pressure to perform marriages for same-sex couples.
The Hobby Lobby case was probably the most high profile but it is one of many in which the religious right is trying to carve out a separate public and legal sphere for itself in which the devout serve solely the devout and can refuse to serve the sinful masses – a modern Jim Crow – using religious freedom as the rationale. I get this – I've read Martha Nussbaum's Hiding from Humanity: Disgust Shame and the Law – it's about fear of moral contagion. Although it's emotional appeal is undeniable, I think it will ultimately fail of its own weight.
This afternoon, I read that The Hitching Post has re-incorporated itself as a religious corporation. The ACLU and the city of Coeur d'Alene agree that in keeping with their newly filed corporate status, The Hitching Post is a "religious corporation" and exempt from the city's nondiscrimination ordinance. IOW, the whole brouhaha has basically evaporated.
The public spaces from which religious conservatives can exclude gay people are going to become increasingly constrained. The option of declaring one's self a religious corporation isn't going to be available to a great many religious conservatives. If, however, claims of religious freedom and religious conscience become publicly linked with discrimination – against women, gays and lesbians, "immoral people" – then very quickly the mythical "war on Christianity" will become a very real public disgust for anyone claiming to be Christian and for Christianity itself.
Colorado students learned their civil disobedience lessons…
Posted by Shane Smith in American History, American People, Authoritarianism, censorship, Conservatives, Education on September 24, 2014
Colorado students and teachers alike have been staging walkouts over the new conservative version of history that is being forced on schools by the rightwing school board. And this story is just full of irony. For one thing, among the subjects being removed is all mention of civil disobedience. Thus the students are teaching the topic to the school board. At least a thousand students walked out of class Tuesday, at three separate schools. More followed Wednesday and still more were planned for today.

"Justified True Belief"
Posted by Shane Smith in Authoritarianism, Conservatives, Philosophy, Science, This Blog on June 29, 2014
Knowledge is sometimes defined in philosophy circles as "justified true belief." Sometimes philosophers can drain the passion out of any phrase.
Still, the idea counts for something. Can you really say you "know" something if you are wrong? Being raised Mormon I was always bothered when people gave their testimony with the phrase "I know this is true" because it was clear to me that they did not "know" anything of the sort. They believed. They may even be right. But unless it was proven true, they couldn't actually know. They simply had faith that they mistakenly called knowledge…..
Over at MotherJones.com, Chris Mooney has an interesting article about some of the research on how political ideology and views can affect our reasoning ability. There has been a fair amount of research in the area of late, and I find an awful lot of it fascinating, I also find a lot of what is written about it to be misled for what seems like some pretty basic reasons.
Veterans Hospitals..the Truth
Posted by Firmage Ed in 4th Estate (Media), 9/11, Activist groups, Afghanistan, American History, American People, assault weapons, Authoritarianism, Barack Obama, Bigotry, Bush Administration, Conservative, Drone Strikes, Liberal, Libya, NSA Surveillance, Obamacare, Syria, This Blog on May 28, 2014
The yammerings of the Republicans, and even some Democrats, about VA hospitals, show no trace, not even a trickle of a trace, of institutional and personal memory, let alone history. This is always true, for most people and all institutions. None have historical perspective beyond that of a Snail Darter. Remember, dear friends, that George Bush the Less, and Dick Cheney, the Dark Lord; and Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz, started two wars of choice that will fill up to overflowing for at least fifty and likely a hundred years, all our hospitals. The impact of wars, so easy for stupid, venal, misinformed people to start and , in a sense, impossible, ever, to stop , is obvious. World War One is still very much alive, after destroying the twentieth Century, the Century of Total War. And the Bush administration severely cut the funding for our VA hospitals. All hospitals are effected by this avoidable tragedy, the greatest of our time. Our jails, our mental homes, our suicide prevention systems; our broken families and children without mothers and fathers, shooting crime statistics up into the stratosphere, ripple on forever.
The entire world, out into and through the cosmos, suffer from this violation of all that is decent and good, not to mention the laws of war. If the Nuremberg principle were applied to us and not just Nazi Germany, this dark band of brothers would all be in jail, or executed for the hundreds of thousands of murders that they accomplished. George W. Bush placed us squack in the middle of a civil war in Islam, which has been going on time out of mind.(we had our civil wars of religion that followed 400 years of Crusades from the 10th to the 14th centuries, the Renaissance and Reformation and the Enlightenment which gave us a rule of law community not shared by any state in the Middle East, except Israel; and no secular state in the Middle East except Turkey, thanks to Ataturk. The Treaties of Westphalia and Utrecht ended religious-based states in Europe and North America, and in their place we have had, with never a backward step, secular states, thank God (and I'm not being ironic), territorial nation states without any church in charge. (Utah is another matter.) Islamic civil war is not our business. It took us many centuries to build these rule of law communities throughout Europe and North America. Do you really think that Afghanistan will somehow, willy nilly, become democratic? Really? or Iraq?
Now, a huge portion of the Middle East, very understandably, see us as their premiere enemy. And much of Africa. And most other Islamic nations. Add to that what the Dulles brothers did in Iran, in deposing an popularly appointed tradition, conservative ruler, Mohammed Mossadeq, to put the Shah back on his throne and his bloodthirsty killers over the military and the police (the CIA's war; just like Laos; just as we now do in Pakistan, way way before the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Pakistan is the most dangerous nation in the world, because it is the Islamic nuclear missile state and George Bush's wars threaten always to bring any reasonable government down. I'll bet World War Three starts there); and what we did in murdering an African head of state (both CIA assassins); and one Latin American democratically elected president assassinated under Nixon's orders,why not see America as the Great Satan? There is blood on the hands of this dark band of brothers, and Karma, dark amoral Karma, that has nothing to do with God.
Of course we should do more for our veterans. But these tragic events play out, literally, forever. Remember: the Great Depression of our time began under Bush the Less. It had been building ever since Ronald Reagan created street people by refusing to fund mental homes and hospitals and put these people in jails and on the streets, so he could raise the military budget three and a half times over. He ran deficits like no Democrats before him. Then came the crash that remains very much with us still. So many millions of unemployed we don't even count, because they've given up, and have taken themselves out of the workforce. How can the Republicans do this with a straight face? Well, they now are consummate liars, after decades of practice. Some in the Democratic Party do this too. Neither party has a monopoly on lying. BUT this is not to say there is equivalence. With the Tea Party, now absorbed within the Republican Party, truly inexperienced and terribly undereducated people rule the day. I believe the Republicans will gain seats in the House and narrowly take the Senate. All because most people and all institutions lack any trace of historical memory. ed firmage xoxo

I Don't Trust Obamacare or the TPP
Posted by Larry Bergan in 4th Estate (Media), Authoritarianism, Capitalism, Corruption, Disaster, Healthcare, Obamacare, ObamaCare ACA on November 18, 2013
Even if I come out ahead at 61 – and doubt I'm going to -, I don't like it, because it has come out that young people will be expected to pay for something they can NEVER afford – Hell; how are they going to feed their own children when our political system cuts their children's food security a little-bit-at-a-time! A "health" system which is built on profit can never succeed because there's too damn much money in it!
The same logic goes for war profiteering.
I think Tom Tomorrow goes a bit more lightly on Obamacare in his latest column, but I think it's a masterpiece.
You may need to left-click on the cartoon to read it.
But also, note that Obama is working to keep secret a meeting at The Grand American Hotel in Salt Lake City tomorrow, (Tuesday November 19th, 2013), and all next week. It may weaken China, but I think we have the right to know what is going on, because it has the potential to greatly weaken America too. This treaty, called the "Trans Pacific Partnership" – TPP -, seems highly dangerous to everybody except huge corporations.
Let's get down to the Grand American Hotel in Salt Lake City this week and try to find out what's going on!

Jason Chaffetz Presides On Viral C-Span Video

I had to put this video up on OneUtah, because it's all over the internet, might have set a record for a C-Span broadcast going viral and features one of our own. I respect the fact that representative Chaffetz didn't try to lie, gavel or shout down Chris Van Hollen, even though he was forced to verify, multiple times, that the congressional body he was elected to, did something surreal.
Some must have seen this on C-Span and aren't being tabulated on the YouTube site, however, the exchange between the representatives has only been posted for three days on YouTube and has already picked up over 2,500,000 viewings. Probably more then any cat video to date, but I'm not sure.
If this exchange is being played by any American television news organization, I would be stunned.

The US Needs to Start Unraveling the Homeland Security Mess
Posted by Glenden Brown in Authoritarianism, Barack Obama, Civil liberties Infringement, Human Rights, Republicans, Society, Terrorism, The Constitution, Tribalism & Blind Obedience to Authority on July 24, 2013
A good place to start is repealing the disaster that is the Patriot Act.
However, a proposal before Congress right now would limit the scope of the NSA's information gathering.
The amendment [pdf] basically defunds the NSA's dragnet collection of every bit of metadata on all phone records as well as other bulk records that have not yet been revealed. The amendment still would allow the NSA to collect information under the original intent—and understanding—of the law, that is information actually related to actual investigations.
Of course NSA supporters are pushing back, including, unfortunately, the Obama administration. Like too many people in positions of power, the administration and the President seem to in the grip of fear about terrorism and have convinced themselves that any means necessary to keep us "safe" (what that means) are acceptable. They are mistaken. Such an attitude only feeds a creeping tendency toward authoritarianism in our culture, one which seems to be growing stronger because too few people in elected office see it as a threat. We see it in the militarization of police forces, in spying on Americans, in the absurd theatre that is the TSA striptease in airports. It is fueled by fear and it fuels fear. I believe it is dangerous.
David Gregory vs. Journalism
Posted by Richard Warnick in 4th Estate (Media), Authoritarianism, Free Speech, Hypocrisy, National Politics, Wiretapping on June 24, 2013
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Edward Snowden has been called a "traitor" by politicians, and he's been formally charged with violating the Espionage Act. But that's not enough for David Gregory of NBC's "Meet the Press." Witness this incredible exchange from yesterday's show, as Gregory in effect accuses Glenn Greenwald of espionage:
GREGORY: Final question for you…. To the extent that you have aided and abetted Snowden, even in his current movements, why shouldn't you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?
GREENWALD: I think it's pretty extraordinary that anybody who would call themselves a journalist would publicly muse about whether or not other journalists should be charged with felonies. The assumption in your question, David, is completely without evidence, the idea that I've aided and abetted him in any way. The scandal that arose in Washington before our stories began was about the fact that the Obama administration is trying to criminalize investigative journalism by going through the e-mails and phone records of AP reporters, accusing a Fox News journalist of the theory that you just embraced, being a co-conspirator in felonies, for working with sources.
If you want to embrace that theory, it means that every investigative journalist in the United States who works with their sources, who receives classified information, is a criminal. And it's precisely those theories and precisely that climate that has become so menacing in the United States. It's why The New Yorker's Jane Mayer said, "Investigative reporting has come to a standstill," her word, as a result of the theories that you just referenced.
GREGORY: Well, the question of who's a journalist may be up to a debate with regards to what you're doing. And of course anybody who's watching this understands I was asking a question; that question has been raised by lawmakers, as well. I'm not embracing anything. But obviously, I take your point.
Later, Greenwald tweeted, "Who needs the government to try to criminalize journalism when you have David Gregory to do it?" and, "Has David Gregory ever publicly wondered if powerful DC officials should be prosecuted for things like illegal spying & lying to Congress?"
An American spy agency that currently has all of its greedy tentacles tightly wrapped all around every single household in the entire world — and not in a good way — has just accused EDWARD SNOWDEN of being a spy. How ironic is that!
UPDATE: Glenn Greenwald HuffPo interview:
"My critique of the D.C. media has long been that instead of being adversaries to government power — to the government and political power — they're servants to it and mouthpieces for it."
Greenwald said that Gregory was doing the work of the Justice Department by putting "together a theory in public about why I, as a journalist, should be prosecuted," along with or "call[ing] into question that I'm a journalist at all." That interview, he said, exemplified the "critique that they're so in bed with the circles of political power over which they're supposed to acting as watchdogs — that they really have become nothing more than just appendages."
UPDATE: 10 Questions for NBC Host Who Shamelessly Suggested Greenwald Be Arrested for NSA Leaks
UPDATE: (Almost too funny for words) Head Of NSA Claims He Doesn't Know "Who Wikileaks Are" – If I know something the NSA doesn't, maybe we need better spies?
UPDATE: Snowden Coverage: If U.S. Mass Media Were State-Controlled, Would They Look Any Different?
The Edward Snowden leaks have revealed a U.S. corporate media system at war with independent journalism. Many of the same outlets — especially TV news — that missed the Wall Street meltdown and cheer-led the Iraq invasion have come to resemble state-controlled media outlets in their near-total identification with the government as it pursues the now 30-year-old whistleblower.
Sean Hannity Suddenly Concerned About The Constitution
Posted by Richard Warnick in 4th Estate (Media), Authoritarianism, Barack Obama, Bush Administration, Crimes, National Politics, Party Politics, The Constitution, Wiretapping on June 18, 2013
Via Media Matters, the funniest thing I've seen today. I don't watch the Faux News Channel, but sometimes it can be very entertaining.
Sean Hannity is warning that data mining and surveillance are "very clear violation[s] of the Fourth Amendment," a drastic change for the Fox News host, who was a loud defender of National Security Agency surveillance during the Bush administration.
To be fair, some Democrats have also switched positions out of pure partisanship: Mika Brzezinski: 'I'm Probably Guilty' Of Hypocrisy Over NSA.
Seriously, every President takes an oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Doesn't matter who the President is — the job is the same. Some have claimed that widespread surveillance of Americans is OK now under President Obama because the FISA Court issued a warrant. But the Fourth Amendment does not allow a blanket warrant to search everybody for everything.
