The Democratic People's Republic of Korea national football team (recognized as Korea DPR by FIFA and known colloquially and in the media as North Korea[2]) represents the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in international association football and is controlled by the DPR Korea Football Association, the governing body for football in North Korea.
North Korea surprised with a good showing at their World Cup debut, reaching the quarter-finals in 1966, beating Italy in the group stage. Controversy arose during the 2006 World Cup Qualifiers, when the team's supporters caused problems because of the team's failure to qualify. In 2009, the team qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the second World Cup appearance in their history. North Korea has qualified for the AFC Asian Cup four times; in 1980, when they finished fourth, in 1992, 2011 and in 2015. The current team is composed of both native North Koreans and Chongryon-affiliated Koreans born in Japan.
1966 World Cup[edit]
North Korea's most notable result in international play came in the 1966 World Cup at Middlesbrough F.C. home Ayresome Park, when the team caused an upset, beating Italy 1–0 to gain a spot in the quarter-finals. There, they lost 5–3 to Portugal despite taking a 3–0 lead after thirty minutes. The North Korea team was the first Asian team to progress beyond the first round of the World Cup finals.[3] In a 1999 documentary featuring interviews with surviving members of the team,[4] they describe themselves as having been welcomed home as national heroes.
1976 Olympic football tournament[edit]
The North Korea football team finished second in their group in the 1976 Summer Olympics, although lost 5–0 to Poland in the quarter-finals.[5]
2006 World Cup qualifying stage controversy[edit]
In March 2005, the North Korean team entered a match with Iran with limited chances of qualifying for the World Cup finals due to poor performance in early fixtures. During the match hosted in Pyongyang, North Korean fans became enraged when the referee failed to award North Korea a penalty kick after a controversial play near the end of the match. Demanding a penalty, they rushed Syrian referee Mohamed Kousa, who instead gave a North Korean player a red card. Bottles, stones and chairs were thrown onto the field following the play. After the match was over, North Korean fans refused to let the Iranian team leave the stadium on their team bus. The violence was so severe that riot police forced back the crowd.[6] Following this incident, North Korea lost its right to host the subsequent home match with Japan and the game was instead played behind closed doors to an empty stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.[7]
2010 World Cup[edit]
The North Korea football team qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup after finishing 2nd place in Group B of Asian qualifying.[8] Their finishing place was not decided until the day of the last fixture of the group, in which they needed not only to avoid defeat in a match against Saudi Arabia, but also rely on Iran not winning in a match against South Korea. In the end, after possessing the same number of points as Saudi Arabia, North Korea qualified through goal difference.[9][10] With a final pre-tournament FIFA ranking of 105th in the world, North Korea were the lowest-ranked team to qualify for the World Cup since the rankings began in 1993.
2010 was North Korea's first appearance at the World Cup since 1966.[11] The draw placed North Korea in Group G. They played their first match against five-time winners Brazil on 15 June, with Brazil winning 2–1 in a game where North Korea was well organised defensively and showed resilience, frustrating the Brazilians. Despite their best efforts, they were nevertheless outmatched and eventually broken down. Maicon's relief was visible after his goal to finally put Brazil ahead.
In their next game against Portugal on 21 June, they were defeated 0–7. Despite starting well (as against Brazil), with a defensive, well organised approach, once Portugal scored their first, the Koreans' defense unravelled and the rest followed with relative ease. The final match against Côte d'Ivoire on 25 June was lost 0-3. Having lost all three group matches, they were knocked out, finishing at the bottom of Group G. It was reported that the small contingency of apparent North Korean football fans were actually Chinese, to whom North Korea administration sold their share of tickets.[12] North Korea subsequently denied the report, claiming that a small number were permitted to travel to the World Cup. There were reports that the North Korean government punished the coach and players of the team by sending them on a hard labour in mines. However, FIFA's investigators could not confirm that. [13]

By Carol Lloyd
Teaching mindfulness and brain science
The book is based on the Hawn Foundation's in-school program "MindUP," whose mission is to help children "develop healthier, happier lives." Seeking to treat a whole schmorgasbord of modern childhood ills – high rates of suicide, rising rates of depression, high drop-out rates, increased stress-levels, findings that American children are the second least happy children in the world – the program teaches kids child-friendly fundamentals of brain functioning along with techniques for quieting the mind, focusing attention, and building pro-social attitudes like optimism and gratitude.
According to the web site, the program has been implemented in hundreds of schools across North America by teaching teachers a curriculum that combines everything from breathing exercises and gratitude journals to scientific explanations of the pre-frontal cortex. The goal of the multi-faceted curriculum is to help kids understand and ultimately develop essential social-emotional skills like empathy, self-control, anger management, self-soothing, and concentration. Studies of the program (some funded by the Hawn foundation) have produced promising findings, including better reading scores, less absenteeism, high levels of working memory, and lower stress hormone levels. (Check out the video to see glimpses of the program in action. My favorite part: the teacher explaining that now her kids analyze storybooks in terms of whether a given character is using his pre-frontal cortex.)
Drawing from this classroom-based curriculum, the book offers a primer on brain functioning, positive psychology, and the benefits of practices such as meditation. Embedded in these explanations are 10-minute lessons that parents can use to help their kids understand what's happening when they have a homework meltdown or how they can calm their mind after a nightmare. There are chapters on brain anatomy and various mindfulness practices, as well as happiness, gratitude, anger, sadness, fear, and kindness. Woven throughout, Hawn peppers the text with anecdotes from her own life: comforting her kids after an earthquake that struck when she and Kurt Russell were out of town, bonding with a Tibetan boy that she has since stayed in touch with, and watching a boy on a playground unable to wrest his mother's attention from her cell phone.

ever the gentleman, rob will do all the promotional work for the film and not cause any upsets, then he will take stock of his life, he has loving family and great friends he will make the right move when he is ready, he does not want a life of unhappiness, you only have this one life you have to use it wisely trust in a relationship is all………..
Posted at 10:19 PM on October 2, 2012
Japan is a good place for Kristen to promote because all Asian country/people are very respectful & no one can deny it…Asian people mostly are poor but rich when it comes to values in life…people there are smiling, very kind wherever you go in Asia what I mean pure Asian people because Australia is belong to Asia but people there is not Asian…
Posted at 11:37 AM on October 2, 2012
they are only together in london ,berlin and spain with Taylor,Bill and wyck. everybody are the referee.no loving glances full of love like Rob was doing all the time only being civil to her.probably Kristen will be clingy deperate just to show they are together.this is the time Rob will get back at her ignoring her.

Rob will fake it but it will show in his eyes no more looking with love in his eyes.the only Robs feeling for her are contempt and disgust looking at her cheater face.Kristen will be clingy desperate just to show they are back together but Rob probably cant hide his true feelings for her which is cant stand bedides her.

Posted at 12:35 PM on October 1, 2012
Yup that's what I thought , normal twilight press tour with no drama! If all the nutso people would pipe down and realize that if rob didn't want to be seen or couldn't stomach being in the same room with Kristen things would not be so normal, summit would have just have them walk the red carpet at LA NOKIA for the premiere as he said he would and that would be that, but no he will see her more than he did for the eclipse promo cause they were both filming and he went all over with Ashley instead, so deal with it people and read between the lines!
Posted at 1:18 PM on October 1, 2012
I did read between the lines and when you remove all the mushiness put in tabloid articles over the years that were put there for the fans you see nothing more than two good friends that might also be roommates. I was a ferm believer in robsten but now I can finally see that summit made them pretend to date to sell movie tickets. If it weren't for the tabloids there would be no reason to believe they were a couple in the first place. Take the tabloid articles out of the equation and what real proof is there? None, so if you want to be mad then be mad at summit and the tabloids. I'm not asking any of you to believe me. I just want all the fans to be prepared to hear things they may not like. I just don't want anyone to get hurt more than they already have.
Posted at 11:45 AM on October 2, 2012
they will promote the Bd and do the read carpet but dont expect to be the same like always Rob is so adoring to her with all the love in his eyes.the only thing you can see is civility to her.of course Kristen will act desperate and try to be clingy but Rob will just act nothing.probably he cantstomach to be near her.
I worry about the hearts of FANS who are still struggling in emotional chaos as the media continues to jerk our hearts around USING Robsten. You KNOW these Twilight obsessions were PREVENTABLE and THAT'S why many of us are STILL so crazy right now. Hollywood intentionally causing young, obsessed fans this kind of pain is wrong. TIME to start thinking about putting blame where it belongs – Stephenie Meyer – Search for "explaintwilightbreakingdawnending blogspot".

Having a glass of wine with dinner and thinking about driving?

Colorado's "Drive High, Get A DUI" Campaign: Because Having The Munchies Is Distracting
Just like Colorado doesn't want drunk drivers swerving all over its roads and endangering people, the state doesn't want anyone getting stoned and trying to operate a car, now that marijuana is legal in the state. Because if what we've learned from the movies about reefer is true, there are plenty of distractions when you're stoned — food (Funyuns specifically), the way Willie Nelson's braids sway just so and oh what's that thing I must stare at over there?

Coffee may slow memory declines in women: study
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Drinking more than three cups of coffee a day helped protect older women against some age-related memory decline, French researchers said on Monday, giving women more reason to love the world's most popular stimulant.
Men did not enjoy the same benefit, they said.
"The more coffee one drank, the better the effects seemed to be on (women's) memory functioning in particular," said Karen Ritchie at the French National Institute of Medical Research, whose work appears in the journal Neurology.
The researchers followed more than 7,000 men and women in three French cities, checking their health and mental function and asking them about their current and past eating and drinking habits, their friends, and their daily activities.
They used this information to sort out the specific role caffeine played in these women's lives.
They found that women who drank more than three cups of coffee per day, or its caffeine equivalent in tea, retained more of their verbal and -- to a lesser extent -- visual memories over four years.
These women had a 33 percent lower odds of having verbal memory declines and 18 percent lower odds of having visual and spatial memory declines, compared to women who drank one cup or fewer per day.
The effect also depended on age, with women over 80 reaping more benefits from these beverages than those who were 10 to 15 years younger, Ritchie's team wrote. It was unclear whether current or former coffee consumption made the difference.
Some studies in mice have suggested that caffeine might block the buildup of proteins that lead to mental decline.
Ritchie is not sure why only women benefited in her study.
"Our best guess is that women don't metabolize coffee in the same way (as men)," she said in a telephone interview.
Ritchie plans to follow the women longer to see if caffeine delays the onset of dementia -- the mental confusion that signals Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders.
She said people should weigh any brain gains derived from caffeine against other effects of the stimulant, including raised blood pressure.
The average American drinks one to two cups of coffee a day, according to the National Coffee Association.

Healthy, high-fat diet may be a pipedream
A much-hyped new study, conducted with just 150 participants, calls for us to "embrace fat" — even the saturated kind. The alleged benefits? Weight loss and, most incredibly, healthier hearts. But the truth is the jury is still out. Commentary

Grumble Grumble Grumble
YouTube statistics are nothing but a diversion from this thread topic at hand. I'm still waiting for your response to these questions. Take your time, as there's alot of ground to cover that you've ignored up to this point...So you said most youtube members are Asians and not westerner? Even IF what you said were truth about most traffics youtube got are from Asia are not the same as most youtube members are Asians. I never read or heard any official news from youtube saying its trafict mostly from Asia.
By the way, I did some search when I type :
Asian Cosplay got around 1.900 results
american Cosplay got around 200 results
western cosplay got around 40 results
It is strongly shows the fact of how Asian cosplayers are better based on youtube website alone.
About I don't reply to most member question in here is because I don't see it worth my time to reply it so I just pick the best of the best of this forum got.
Grumble Grumble Grumble
So, does this include Cosplaying anime characters who are obviously not Asian in origin...
(e.g. Afro of Afro Samurai, Belldandy of Ah My Goddess, Chad of Bleach) or is a Asian cosplaying a non-asian role the equivalent of a white-actor in black-face playing a black role...Honestly, you just make yourself sound so full of yourself. Have you, yourself, created any of the anime, that we Americans or anyone else you mention, like? You keep mention we this and we that, but I see nothing that you have showed us tells us that you, yourself(besides being an almighty Asian), have created anything (besides this thread, with your statement). Just because many people like to cosplay, for enjoyment I may add, gives you no right to claim anime as your own. These anime are lienced to people around the globe. Other people have a right to cosplay if they want, whether they look right or not. Would you like to take anime away from us? Is that it? Might I add that Asians too do things that are "non-Asian" as well.
I also like to agree with Len. There are plenty of anime which is based off of "non-asian" themes. I would also like to add Chrono Crusade. One of my favorite anime. It was based in America, along with other things.
I cannot understand people who think they are so superior because their country has created something big. Strut around like they are so good or something. It's people like you who don't understand just because your country has created something like anime, gives you no right to say things about others. I know others, such as Americans, do that, which shames me, but if we can learn to understand, then we are one step closer to a better world.
Well there is my rant. I couldn't help myself......>.<That is your problem not ours. Here is a hint for you though, what you are expressing isn't pride it is prejudice. I think you will find little sympathy for it here.
Or should we be throwing tizzy fits because of this: http://english.people.com.cn/200511/...s/1123_E81.jpg
Awwww aren't they adorable???
Oh and just to give you something to chew on:
Adella cosplay

Ginny McQueen - American Cosplay Girl * Model * Costumer
Laura's Costumes
Some people just have waaaay to much time on their hands.
<- (Is currently sewing multiple outfits for Renshow)Your pride is yours and yours alone. It has no affect on how I--or anyone else--should think. I'm a proud bi-racial kid. Do you think that I wear it on my sleeve? Should I go around sayin' things like, "Us funny colored people are better at everything in life than anyone else and we should run the country because inter-racial dating is okay now,"? Or, maybe I should pick a racial empowerment group and join forces with them. Yeah, that's it! I'll be a neo-nazi!!
Just because Asians did something cool, it doesn't give you the right to rub it in our faces and say that other races are "lesser races" because a bunch of Asians can draw well. I draw well, do I get special treatment? Besides, not ALL Asians are excellent anime/manga artists. In fact (almost) all anime and manga comes from Japan anyway. (I know Korea's hip on the scene as well, but I've never seen any other part of Asia produce anything as far as anime is concerned.) Are you even Japanese??? Do you even draw???
Eh... Maybe.
LMAO!!!So, are you saying this is not your opinion but that of your "buddy"? It's a really poor decision of you to consider someone like that person as a friend. Although I am no one to judge on who you make a friendship with.
But, really...as a person born in Asia and assuming you follow asian traditions. Your two posts put you to shame. Our traditions most publically and avidly emphasizes on being humble, being obedient and pay respect to others. There's a fine line between having pride on your country and ethnicity and then down right being racist.
Aren't you stereotyping the western society a little too much? Just because a few members of the Western world criticizes the things Asians have created doesn't necessarily mean that everyone single living soul thinks that way.
But, even so...what kind of grudge do you hold against westerners? And WHY do you pick such a irrelavent topic such as anime to declare that Asian is the best race? I mean its not like Anime is a solution to a world epidemic or something of that sort. I might as well say that your comparing us almost in the same set of values the Nazis had back in WWII.
And actually anime is influenced on western like characteristics...or else we would be seeing all animes characters in traditonal clothing rather than the western clothing. Neither would we being seeing english words in the anime, as a matter of fact a lot of the Asian languages have adopted english words.I was thinking the exact same thing Arrianna.
And as Shizuka has said, a lot of anime characters are in fact based off western characteristics. Also, you mention saying that anime characters body type are based off of the Asian body type. I would have to respectfully disagree do to the fact that I have not yet seen any one, even Asians, having that physical kind of body type. It's not possible for the human body to have that kind of physical build to it, not naturally any ways. Now there are people that come close, how ever that is a mixed group of people from all around the world.
The anime body type we see is based off of what the concept of what looks attractive and sexy and cute to the human mind and this is what the artist draws up.

The Footballers Players Association of India (FPAI) is taking the initiative to arm its member-footballers with information beyond the game, for example, money management, understanding contract conditions etc.
Current FPAI president Baichung Bhutia explained the steps taken in this direction so that footballers don't stray down the wrong path when faced with huge sums from club contracts.
The former India captain said, "FPAI organises seminars and workshops where professionals are called to advise players on managing money, other career options, insurance etc. Vikash Dhorasoo (Indian-born footballer in the French league) spoke to players in Kolkata; we held a seminar in Panaji as well. At a time when IPL franchises realise the need to alert players about corruption in sport, football is showing the way."
Specific topics
Asked about the type of experts FPAI ropes in to address players and specific topics discussed, he said, "Ernst & Young gave a useful lecture on finance and taxation. We have a lawyer in Kolkata for advice on legal aspects; players approach him for points to look into before signing contracts."
In February 2013, New Zealand lawyer and president of NZPFA Andrew Scott Howman was invited to Pune for a session with India senior probables about safeguarding players' interest via standard club contracts.
Bhutia points out that it takes time for Indian players to get a hang of it. "Most players I know are sending back money to their families, which is okay with me," he said. "We didn't have any system like this and relied on senior teammates to show us how to tackle situations."
Young footballers from academies like Tata Football Academy, Sesa Football Academy and youth development squads like Pailan Arrows are recruited by I-League clubs with lucrative contracts, especially those identified as special talent, following performances with National junior and senior teams.
"For if these kids are not familiar with negotiating salaries running into lakhs and handling huge sums of money, life can get difficult."
"FPAI's acceptance among I-League players means more will have access to expert advice. FPAI started with just 10 players in 2006; nearly 70-80 per cent of those in the I-League first and second division teams are now with us. Bhutia sought AIFF support for the players' association efforts.
"We look forward to signing a MoU with AIFF," the ex-India star forward and United Sikkim SC founder mentioned.
Praful Patel, the federation president and one of the invitees at FPAI Indian Football Awards 2013 responded.
"My presence each time at these awards is an example of AIFF encouragement and support. Baichung (Bhutia) has done a tremendous job by forming the FPAI and bringing players under the umbrella of this organisation. We will continue to support them in future."

Though the Effingham County Animal Shelter has been fortunate not to need to euthanize any animals lately, shelter director Cory Whitfield offers a grim reminder.
It may be a while before shovels start turning dirt into ball fields, but Effingham County has taken a necessary big step toward its next recreation facility.
Springfield City Council has approved a fiscal year 2015 budget, and the proposed budget is a 12 percent increase over the current spending plan.
Operation Zero Tolerance is under way and that means increased patrols and high visibility enforcement in Georgia.
The show went on for the Effingham County High School band, even though the students were mourning the loss of one of their own.
Rincon City Council is set to approve a budget for its coming fiscal year that is smaller than its current operating plan.
The Rincon Police Department could be adding to its roster.
ATLANTA - Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp offers advice to people planning to donate to charitable organizations during the holiday season.
One in five consumers said they have never used a designated driver while away from home and drinking, according to a recent AAA Consumer Pulse™ Survey. AAA and Bud Light urge motorists to plan ahead for the holiday weekend if they will be out drinking. This means choosing a designated driver, staying where you are celebrating, using a cab or finding another form of sober transportation.
One of the most historically significant and ecologically fragile areas of Effingham County will be preserved for future generations.
Effingham County commissioners took a big step last Tuesday night toward building a central recreation park.
ATLANTA - Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens urges Georgians to use caution with holiday cooking, and when they heat up leftovers on the stove after the holidays.
The busiest travel period of the year is under way, putting more people on the road, and unfortunately increasing the likelihood of crashes. Law enforcement agencies across the state are joining in a national effort to reach all Thanksgiving travelers with one important message: buckle up.
Effingham County commissioners and Effingham Health System officials have agreed on a plan that will ensure the hospital's funding and enables both bodies to track the payments to the hospital.
The Effingham County Democratic Committee recently held a public caucus to elect and re-elect members to the committee to represent all Democrats in the county. Vice- hair Jimmie Snooks presided over the election.
For many, New Year's Eve involves consuming alcohol at parties. So it comes as no surprise that there's a spike in drunk driving crashes at the end of the year.

BTW, the 4th line center on those teams was Phil Bourque...you know, that guy on the radio with The Legend? So yeah, it's pretty damn important to be strong down the middle if you want to win a Cup. The only difference between those teams and this one is that the wingers didn't suck.
Anyway, how long did Lemieux and Jagr play together? How about Sakic and Forsberg? Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Lidstrom? So it's not out of the realm of possibility that Crosby, Malkin and Staal will be together here for the next 5-10 years.
I suppose that any player can be traded. Even Wayne Gretzky was traded. But the reasoning behind it...nah, sorry. Not buying it. Malkin does not strike me as being so selfish that he'd actually want to be traded just so he can be "the guy." If anything, I think he likes that Sid has all of the spotlight, so that he can just play his game and not have to be the one dealing with the media game in and game out. Look, Geno doesn't have much left to prove to anyone. He's already won a scoring title, led the league in playoff scoring and a Conn Smythe. The latter 2 Crosby has not done yet. Let's not forget that he's also being paid like the elite superstar player that he is. So I highly doubt he's going to be "Mr. Moper" and force a trade in the next 2 years.
That's fine, and that's a reasoned responce.
I'm happy with Malkin, this thread has nothing to do with yesterday's result. I'd have posed the same hypothetical at some point even if the Pens had won another Cup this year.
I'm just wondering how and when this team is going to acquire some quality wingers? And while Trottier was valuable, he wasn't near as valuable as wingers like Mark Rechi, Kevin Stevens, Rick Tochett, Joey Mullen and Jaromir Jagr were to those Cup runs. It's ridiculous that with centers like we have that we don't have one winger that you'd project to a 30 goal season like all of the aforementioned wingers from our old Cup teams annually would project to.
And again you're still ignoring the emerging force that is Jordon Staal. Jordon's improved by leaps and bounds this past season. His play is still ascending, wouldn't you agree? He's arguably a first line center on many teams, is it fair to ask him to continue on in the role of a 3rd line center? Is it the best utilization of available talent?

Bestselling author, psychologist, and world-renowned expert on dog behavior and training Dr. Stanley Coren presents the most informative, in-depth, fascinating book yet on dogs. Acclaimed for its solid scientific research and entertaining, eminently readable style, How Dogs Think gives you the insight that you need to understand the silly, quirky, and apparently irrational behaviors that dogs demonstrate, as well as those stunning flashes of brilliance and creativity that they also can display. It lets you see through a dog�s eyes, hear through his ears, and even sense the world through his nose, as Coren presents a fascinat�ing picture of the way dogs interpret their world and their human companions, and of how they solve problems, learn, and take in new information.
How Dogs Think also answers questions about our canine companions that have puzzled many: Can dogs count? Do they have an appreciation of art or music? Can a dog learn how to do something just by watching another dog or even a person do it? Do dogs dream? What is the nature of dog personality? Which behaviors are prewired into your dog, and which can you actually change? And, can dogs actually sense future earthquakes or detect cancer?
With sound behavioral science and numerous funny, informative anecdotes, experiments, and firsthand observations, How Dogs Think shatters many common myths and misconcep�tions about our four-legged friends and reveals a wealth of surprises about their mental abilities and potential. It will make you love and appreciate all dogs�including your own�in wonder�ful new ways.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month
Pros:Based on some other reviews I thought I should offer my opinion.
Build quality looks like official product.
I hesitated based on other reviews but because of the low price I thought I would risk it. Quality is not an issue.
I needed a replacement as part of my original cracked. I was able to mix and match between my old pieces and this new one for a truly custom housing :)
Screw holes were a bit tight but ultimately worked.
No instructions are provided but that's not a concern as documentation is readily available on line:
I'm no expert, took me 3 hours since I did not replace ribbon correctly and had to take it apart a few times :P
Product and price are excellent, with patience you will not be disappointed.
minor issues, screw holes very tight, instructions would be nice.
neither of these should deter anyone.
you certainly can't go wrong for $20 and no shipping for this product.

The Case for Naturalism
By SEAN CARROLL - COSMIC VARIANCE - DISCOVER MAGAZINE
Added: Mon, 07 May 2012 16:43:17 UTC
"Atheism" is a fine word, and I'm happy to describe myself as an atheist. God is an idea that has consequences, and those consequences don't accord with the world we experience any better than countless other ideas we've given up on. But given a choice I would always describe myself first as a "naturalist" — someone who believes that there is only one realm of reality, the material world, which obeys natural laws, and that we human beings are part of it. "Atheism" is ultimately about rejecting a certain idea, while "naturalism" is about a positive acceptance of a comprehensive worldview. Naturalists have a lot more work to do than simply rejecting God; they bear the responsibility of understanding how to live a meaningful life in a universe without built-in purpose.
Which is why I devoted my opening statement at "The Great Debate" a few weeks ago to presenting the positive case for naturalism, rather than just arguing against the idea of God. And I tried to do so in terms that would be comprehensible to people who disagreed with me — at least that was the goal, you can judge for yourself whether I actually succeeded.
So here I've excerpted that opening ten-minute statement from the two-hour debate I had with Michael Shermer, Dinesh D'Souza, and Ian Hutchinson. I figure there must be people out there who might possibly be willing to watch a ten-minute video (or watch for one minute before changing the channel) but who wouldn't even press "play" on the full version. This is the best I can do in ten minutes to sum up the progress in human understanding that has led us to reject the supernatural and accept that the natural world is all there is. And I did manage to work in Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia.

Kylie Minogue's collab with Giorgio Moroder from his new album is here and it's a lot of fun. The howl is very "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Video teaser here and full song after the jump...
61 posts categorized "KYLIE MINOGUE"
Giorgio Moroder is back with his first solo album in 30 years, the lead singel from which is "74 Is the New 24". I wish he were one of the apparently 30 billion people rumored to be working with Madonna. He is, however, working with Kylie and Sia.
Check out his first song/video here.
Kylie's a solid live singer with an excellent pop voice. Here, she glides through the ethereal "I Believe In You" on her Aphrodite Tour...
Buzzfeed's latest diva ranking is pretty solid, in that Madonna easily makes #1. The fact that it is a definitive ranking of pop divas makes her the inevitable champeen.

Kylie Minogue has recorded an (to my ears) ultra-saccharine take on the Kim Carnes mega-hit "Bette Davis Eyes". After the jump listen to the original, and listen to Kim's cover of one of my all-time favorite, most obscure '80s songs...

Kylie's for gay rights, her handler was against gays' right to snap photos while she spoke...too bad!
Last night was The 25th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Or at least, the latest 25th Annual; GLAAD likes to hold the same event with different stars for a different pool of potential donors in different cities. I just covered L.A. weeks ago. The Oscars might consider doing this—then everyone could win! Best Picture (L.A.): Crash! Best Picture (Every Other City): Brokeback Mountain!
Held at the Waldorf Astoria, the event had a pretty darn good list of celebrity attendees, perhaps in part fueled by the fact that medium-sized gay stars who would normally have to pay good money like any other schlub in order to share air with Kylie Minogue—who was performing, perhaps her new UK single "I Was Gonna Cancel"—would get to kibbitz with her on the carpet free-for-nothin'.
I was in good hands with King of the Selfies, Peter Dee!
Trying something new, I got a mic and asked Peter Dee (pictured) to do the honors as my red-carpet face man. It was nice having his optimistic energy ("Maybe we'll get Kylie and maybe Lindsay Lohan will show up!") to temper my...own energy ("We'll never get Kylie. We'll be lucky if they remember to give us a spot.")
We arrived early and discovered that my two spots on the carpet were non-existent. Score one point for the power of negative thinking. GLAAD knew I was supposed to be there, so squeezed me between a Howard Stern reporter (I had nightmares of stuttering insult questions, but he was a doll, very off-brand) and some lesbians who were having a blast. One of them told Peter, "It's like everyone in New York is 25." Yes, it is.
Not everyone in NYC is 25: Ageless Disco Era icon Rollerena!
The carpet went fairly well; we were able to squeeze in interviews with most of the names we wanted (we missed Looking's Frankie J. Alvarez and Raul Castillo, had to skip Laura Prepon for Boy George, Natasha Lyonne bypassed everyone—boy, that GBF cast sure loves to promote their adorable movie!—didn't recognize country star Kacey Musgraves, another of the evening's performers, and never saw Emmy Rossum, Abigail Breslin, Chely Wright or Naomi Watts on the carpet), and a few interesting things happened, which is all you can ask for when you're not People, Us or, at this one event only, Logo and Instinct Magazine.
Boy George was in the pink while chatting with Mike Diamond.
The toughest get was Boy George. He caused a huge commotion when he arrived in what reminded me of a pink and red hat tip to Madonna's recent Colonel Sanders look, as if the photographers were going to make a mint off of posed Boy George photos. I think that no matter what he does or what year it is, Boy George is a real-deal icon of the '80s, and an original character, so he (you should pardon the expression) engenders genuine excitement.
I was not excited when his handler had him skip over three or four outlets only (mine included)—he did extensive interviews with the big press to my right and then also did long chats with everyone further down the carpet, inexplicably. Got his PR's attention and gestured that I just wanted one question. She said, "You can do photos." I shook my head no; one question. He was doing stand-up comedy with some of these other outlets. It was nuts. She agreed, then ignored it when George continued down the carpet, further away.
So we just went to the end of the carpet and grabbed our one question. I was happy that we were able to ask about his recent Kylie and Madonna faux-quotes scandal, because he told us we were the only ones to ask it (hello, Kylie is at the event!) and he gave us a great take on the situation, was playful, noted the name of my site in relation to his own name and did a high-five. The only thing that would've made it better would be if he'd initially been steered to stop and talk to us like we existed in the first place. George himself was great. Good moment:
"Rubbish. And in fact, I knew someone was gonna ask me this. I sued the TETU Magazine and they've actually taken responsibility for printing...and they're gonna pay me some money as well, so I might buy a new hat...I'm here to give Kylie an award, and I've traveled a long way to do it. I've actually had four hours' sleep. If I didn't love her, I wouldn't be here, would I?"
I was personally psyched to speak with Swoosie Kurtz, and to have Peter ask her about her 1981-1982 TV series with Tony Randall, Love, Sidney. After all, that show—the first with a gay (albeit subtly) gay character as a lead—made her kinda like the first "Grace." (The first "Jack" was "Mr. Mooney"! The first "Karen Walker" was Eva Gabor on Green Acres! I like this game...)
Swoosie talked about Love, Sidney...yayyy!
Swoosie was pure class. When I admitted I, the cameraman, was the Love, Sidney fan, she said I must have been a very little boy (in truth, I'd been close to puberty).

The reception was the start celebration to a month long art exhibit revealing the Port snaps clicked by both amateur and pro photographers.
Cherene Birkholz was the 1st place winner for her snap called Oriental Queen, the 2nd place winner was Joan Day for the Jewels of the Night, and Dave Freeman was the 3rd place winner for Watercolors. The people are asked to come see this great perspective on Port operations.

Eighty pro and amateur photographers took part in that. Both the workshop as well as behind-the-scenes Port tour happened in August and the participants then submitted their best pieces for the juried gallery exhibit.

Award winning photographer Matt Maran records Hampstead Heath's changing scenery
Matt Maran, a well known Globe-trotting photographer, spent hours in the cold waters of a Hampstead Heath pond to click some magnificent snaps of great crested grebes caring and feeding their young. The award winning landscape and wildlife photographer has traveled the world in search of remote terrain and rare animals, producing work for top houses like the National Geographic and BBC Wildlife magazine.
But previous year he shipped on an ambitious program far closer to house – to record the changing scenery and diverse wildlife of Hampstead Heath. The grebe snaps were clicked in the Men's Bathing Pond in the months of June and July. The thirty seven year old made around fifteen separate visits, sporting a wetsuit and staying in shoulder deep water in the water for an hour every time. His camera was just raised above the water to deal with birds at their own level.
All his efforts resulted in stunning photos of them ferrying their chicks on their backs, eating whole crayfish, and capturing perch to feed their offspring. Maran stated that the grebes are so used to people being around them, so they were not disturbed by his presence. He added that when magnificent site. It took around 3 – 4 four minutes to get the thing into the perfect position to swallow and that was definitely the most exciting moment.

Land category included in Isimanagliso Sodwana Bay Shootout Festival
A new land category has been included to the Isimanagliso Sodwana Bay Shootout Festival this year that would held during July school holidays. Declaring this year's event, Isimangaliso's brand and marketing manager Lindy Duffield stated that this year's event had developed to encompass a land category.
This suggests that one does not even require going near the water to capture magnificent snaps. The 6 day videography and photography contest would see photographers contending to capture magnificent snaps in the park.
The event is not just for photographers as there is a spectrum of events that would take place throughout the week, like live music, sand sculpting contests, marine educational walks, talks by Ezemvelo KZN wildlife and shark life experts, as well as several other presentations by experts on photography as well as the magnificent world beneath the waves. Anyone in the diving industry knows that this is the top time of year to get wet in one of the world's top ten scuba diving destinations.
An allot of the entry amounts would be handed to the park's endangered and rare species fund that is solely dedicated to the introduction, monitoring and protection of these species within the park. Duffield stated that with traditionally awesome weather and brilliant visibility, Sodwana is a Mecca for beach goers, nature lovers, divers, snorkelers or anyone who wants to escape the winter chill.
Meanwhile, a photographer near Sidalia, last weekend, was struck and killed by a running train when he was illegally trespassing a railway bridge for a shoot. As per Sedalia Democrat, the bridge was too short for both a person and a train. It was clearly marked to try and prevent trespassing.

Looks Aren't Everything(4/10/2011)_______________________________________________________________________When I get up on Sundays to go to church, the usual that I would deal with is this in the mornings:"Your clothes_____""Wear something else.""That doesn't look right.""You can find something better to wear.""You're wearing THAT to church?""People are going to think_____""...and people notice_____""Your clothes_____""Your hair_____"...and...."Your clothes_____".My mom would normally get on my case about what I wear to church, and I would just shake it off and go as I am anyway.~~~~Here's the thing...At some point in my life when I started going back into the habit of attending church, I used to make some attempt to get "dressed up" to church. It was always something expected of me from my parents that I make myself look "lady-like" or formal in some way. The dressy clothes that I do own, I discovered, were actually not all that comfortable for me to wear
Fire and IceIt is said that when 2 worlds touch, magic happens.But what of those that are opposites?How can the North Pole coincide with the South pole?How can Superman call Lex Luther his chum?How can two eyes meet without becoming crossed?How can the heavenly sky have anything in common with the sedimentary ground?Perhaps we'll never know.But look at it like this:Without the two opposing poles, there wouldn't be anything to hold the world with.Without a villain in the story, there wouldn't be a hero to save the day.Without the opposing adjacent eyes there wouldn't be sight to see the beauty of the world.Without the heavenly sky so out of reach, there wouldn't be a reason to quench the thirst of the earth with silver drops of rain.Maybe these opposites don't attract.But maybe, just maybethey can get along.
What if...What if fall met spring?What if winter met summer?Which one would have changed?

Keys To Addressing MRSA In The Diabetic Foot
In addition to having diabetes for 12 years, she has hypertension and has been on dialysis for three years. The remainder of her social and past medical history is non-contributory.
On examination, the patient has palpable posterior tibial, dorsalis pedis and popliteal pulses bilaterally. She has absent protective sensation per Semmes Weinstein monofilament testing. There is a hemorrhagic bullous lesion encompassing the dorsal forefoot, extending from the base of her toes two through five and extending to the midshaft of the metatarsals. There is erythema encompassing the dorsal and lateral left foot to the level of the heel. Plantar to the distal fourth interspace, she has a hemorrhagic hyperkeratotic lesion communicating with the dorsal bulla via the webspace and there is a 2 mm pinpoint opening. There is plantar erythema extending across the metatarsophalangeal joints with tenderness to palpation at these levels. The tenderness is greatest to the fourth and fifth metatarsal heads, and fourth interspace.
The patient's vital signs were stable, she was afebrile and the white blood cell count was elevated at 12. The patient went to the hospital. Given the severity of the infection and past history of ulceration with renal compromise, the patient started on vancomycin and received an incision and drainage. There was full thickness necrosis of the dorsal skin margins. This resulted in significant skin loss. There was no radiographic or intraoperative osseous involvement. Cultures were consistent with MRSA. Once the patient was stable and the white blood cell count trended down within normal range, she was discharged from the hospital. We prescribed doxycycline 100 mg PO bid for two weeks and employed an aggressive wound care regimen and VAC therapy (KCI) to healing.
In Summary
The morbidity and mortality associated with MRSA infections is an alarming indicator of the urgency in addressing these infections in the diabetic population. Patients with diabetes whose MRSA infections resulted in amputation demonstrated a five times greater mortality rate in comparison to patients with non-MRSA infections.9
Additionally, researchers demonstrated that MRSA-related amputations have a higher stump infection rate of 24 percent.9 Re-infection rates with MRSA are also more frequent.
Therefore, even upon completion of therapy and appropriate management (whether it is surgical debridement, wound care or both), it is important to alert patients of colonization, the risk of carrier-states and long-term morbidity and mortality. Despite the subtle decline in HA-MRSA reported by the CDC, it is important to remember the unyielding state of CA-MRSA and its presence and contribution to healthcare-associated infections.10
The introduction of MRSA is not uncommon in the diabetic population and has become more prevalent today. Risk factors in this population go beyond the immunocompromised state of the patient with diabetes and also require a strong understanding of ulcer chronicity, prior hospitalization and chronic renal disease as associated risk factors for MRSA.

Residents angry over zoning proposal
POSTED: Monday, November 14, 2011 - 10:06pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - 11:44am
East Baton Rouge Parish (NBC33) — People who live off Hoo Shoo Too Road in East Baton Rouge have seen enough development over the years and want to keep their area rural, away from the commotion of the city.
"We have cows, horses and goats in the area," said Ann Tuttle, who lives nearby.
A developer bought 90 acres of land on Hoo Shoo Too, and has plans of building a high-density development, but first needs a zoning change approval by the City-Parish.
Neighbor's showed in large numbers to Monday's Planning and Zoning meeting to voice disapproval of any plans that would allow for large-scale housing developments.
"Taking 90 acres and building 600 houses absolutely dilutes our rural estate community," said Angel McCarstle.
No one ever had the chance to be heard. The developer asked for the item to be deferred for 90 days.
If Monday is any proof, a large crowd will be waiting in February, to take the issue up again.
"In 90 days he hopes not as many will be here," McCarstle said. "I think he'll be unpleasantly surprised and we'll have more here."

In Greece there was Epicurus, a very great logician, who said there is no life beyond death; and he had a great school and hundreds of followers. And today, for the first time, half of the world - more than half of the world - is communist. Karl Marx, the founder of communism, does not believe in any God, any hell, any heaven. He says, "Consciousness is just a by-product. When the body disintegrates the by-product disappears."
There has never been such a large number of people believing that death is the end. That's why it was easy for Joseph Stalin to kill millions of people without a prick of conscience, because after death nothing survives.
In this world, continuing a very ancient superstition in the courts - in the high courts, in the Supreme Courts of the world - just shows that even our judges are not contemporaries.
Use scientific methods to find the truth, and respect the individual. And reward the truth - that is something to be remembered. On the one hand you ask the person to be true, not to lie. And on the other hand, if he is true he is punished, and if he lies he is rewarded. What do you think - people are so dumb?
If a person says the truth, then reward him! And you will see people are saying the truth without any trouble, because truth is rewarded. Nobody will be saying lies, because lies are punished. Who wants punishment?
In my childhood, I made a contract with my father. When he said to me, "Always say the truth," I said, "There has to be a contract about it."
He said, "What contract?"
I said, "Whenever I say a truth, I have to be rewarded. Then you need not be worried - I will always be saying the truth. And whenever you find I am lying, I have to be punished."
He said, "This is a strange contract. That means you can do all kinds of mischief and you can say the truth. You do the mischief and you get rewarded!"
I said, "It is up to you. Mischief I will continue; the question is whether you want me to be truthful or not. You can think it over. Otherwise, I am going to lie, because nobody wants to be punished. And you will have to find out the truth - which is very difficult, because whatever mischief I do, I take all precautions. Then it is your work, you find it out - but I am not going to admit it." And he knew perfectly well that whatever I used to do was such that it was almost impossible to catch me red-handed.
For example, one of my relatives, one of my father's brothers-in-law, often used to come and stay for months. He was immensely interested in eating. He was too fat and ugly - and I would help him eat too much. Now, nobody could say that I was committing any mischief; I was simply serving a guest.
Then he would fall sick and he would tell my father, "This is your son! I thought when he was bringing more sweets and more things, 'Why is he so interested in me?' I know now."
I said to my father, "Do you think serving a guest is not right? And if he was feeling that he is going to be sick, he should not have eaten. The fault is not mine. If you want to punish anybody, punish your brother-in-law."
