This afternoon, you can watch me on TechTV's The Screen Savers. Then tonight, I head into the DNA Lounge in San Francisco to defend your right to free speech and parody on the Internet as I go toe to toe with Barney in a celebrity boxing match brought to you by the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Chilling Effects project.
If you're in or near San Francisco, and your value your rapidly diminishing rights of free speech and free expression, I encourage you to come and check it out.
However, if you can't be there, for whatever reason, here is a copy of the speech I'm giving tonight.
"Copyright law is a good idea. It allows actors, writers, and musicians to create and own intellectual property, and hopefully derive a living from their creations.
As an actor and writer, I have a personal stake in making sure that Copyright law is enforced. If I can't own the works I create, then I can't feed my family.
The music labels, publishing houses and studios who release our creative works would have you believe that unless we strengthen copyright laws, their clever euphemism for eroding your rights to parody and free expression, all artists will suffer.
Don't you believe them. As a negotiator for the Screen Actors Guild, I have firsthand experience with these men who claim to care so greatly for artists, and I call shenanigans. The greatest danger to musicians is not Gnutella. It is the label. The greatest danger to actors and film makers is not DeCSS. It is the studio. These corporate masters care little for the artists who are filling their 4 car garages with new Porsches and filling their private jets with fuel and "hostesses."
What they do care about is controlling how you listen to music, or watch movies, and, increasingly, how you discuss and react to our creations.
Copyright law was best described as "a balance between expression that the owners can control and expression that is left open to the commons."
Right now we are facing the complete destruction of that delicate balance. Corporations, and their congressional lap dogs, are doing everything in their power to ensure that the "expression left open to the commons" is forever removed, leaving only "expression the owners can control."
That is a truly terrifying statement, which bears repeating: "expression only the owners can control."
Do you want your freedom of expression controlled by a studio, record label, or multi-national corporation? Do you want Sony's goons kicking in your door because you dare call Shakira SUCKira? Do you want Paramount to have the right to tell you that you can't write that Star Trek fan fiction you've been working on while your wife is asleep? You know, the one where you're the captain and Counselor Troi is giving you a "special session?" Do you want Best Buy telling you that you're a criminal for expressing, on your website, your opinion that, "Best Buy sucks?"
Of course we don't. We all value our freedoms of expression and our rights to satire and parody. Can you imagine a world without "The Onion," or "Satirewire?" Area Men everywhere would be slienced. I don't want to live in that world.
Corporations know that they're wrong. They rightfully fear the Internet, and those of us who know how to use it. They don't like it when we step outside of the narrowly defined, consumer culture they've created for us.
They have seen "expression left open to the commons" running counter to "expression that the owners can control," and rather than respect our rights, they are working feverishly to destroy that all-too-delicate balance.
Corporations regularly abuse copyright law to silence dissent. Best Buy, Wal*Mart and Starbucks have all sent Cease and Desist letters to angry consumers who feel that they've been ripped off, and, like me, taken their case to the public via the Internet.
So they are shoving money at congress, and sending lawyers after us.
Our fundamental rights are under attack by a terrified cabal of corporate monsters, who have bought and paid for the DMCA and CARP, and I say that the erosion of our rights stops right here, right now.
I will continue to parody public figures and cherished icons.
I will state, on my website, in 100 point flashing red type on a blue background: "Barney sucks! Best Buy sucks! Sony Sucks! Microsoft sucks, Bill Gates is the anti-Christ and John Ashcroft can kiss my ass!"
I will promote artist's rights. I will educate, enlighten, and empower. I will write, call, FAX and email congress.
Copyright Law is not a tool of repression granted to an unaccountable corporation by a corrupt congress at the expense of an ignorant public.
It exists to protect and promote artists. Don't ever forget that.
Tonight, we are ignorant no longer, and as ignorance goes, so goes complacency. The EFF has created an online library where you can research your rights, at chillingeffects.org. Get online, get educated and get involved.
Individually, we can get angry. Together, we can, and will, make a difference."
This afternoon, you can watch me on TechTV's The Screen Savers. Then tonight, I head into the DNA Lounge in San Francisco to defend your right to free speech and parody on the Internet as I go toe to toe with Barney in a celebrity boxing match brought to you by the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Chilling Effects project.

Japanese Company Investing in New Coal Liquefaction Project in China
26 December 2006
Interfax. Universe Gas and Oil Co. (UGO), a Japanese energy development company, plans to invest RMB 400 million ($51.28 million) in a coal-to-liquids project in northeastern China's Jilin Province.
Zhang Shuang, an official with the company, said the plant will have an annual capacity of 500,000 tonnes (about 3.7 million barrels—10,000 barrels per day) of fuel oil production capacity after three phases of construction.
Zhang said the technology applied in the project was different from coal-to-liquids projects under construction at the moment, but declined to offer more information. Zhang could not say when construction would start.
Project contracts are already signed for development of the plant in the city of Liaoyuan—a center of coal mining—and the project is approved by the State government. Feedstock coal will come from the local coal mines.
UGO is involved in projects developing natural gas in Indonesia, and is affiliated with a number of larger Japanese energy organizations such as Japan Energy Corporation and Osaka Gas.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Japanese Company Investing in New Coal Liquefaction Project in China:
$50m does not seem like a lot for a plant that can produce 100m gallons per year. Considering the U.S. uses 150B gallons per year, we might need to get started on more projects like this ourselves real soon now...
This is what the Oil industry told about Ethanol when few small plants came online.
Today there are lots of such plants and also the larger ones with 100 million gallons / year capacity are coming online.
And Ethanol has captured 40 % of Brazilian auto-fuels market and 4 % in US.
Same way, in 10 years, Coal based liquids could capture a lot of market from Oil in China, US and elsewhere.
That's assuming we can get the coal and can accept the consequences, Max. It also assumes that we can get the water that CTL plants require. Neither China nor the major coal producing parts of the US are going very well, water-wise.
It also assumes that we can get the water that CTL plants require.
Or that the plants use dry cooling. The water used by the chemical reactions themselves is rather modest. In some cases, the coal bed water is sufficient. Disposal of this water is a problem in parts of the US west, due to dissolved salts.
_This has the potential for ~$510 million/100k bbl/day. Exchange rate is favorable, as are lower construction/labor costs, but this is much lower than the $4 billion/100k bbl/day quote for US CTL plans.
_The questions are:
a) The quality and consistency of the fuel.
b) The claim this is not similar to other CTL projects currently underway, thus non F-T process. This leads to the possibility of a modernised Kerrick process-ie LTC (low temperature carbonization)-other processes, or some combination of systems.
c) Could this feasibly/economically be replicated in OEDC/developing world, and preferably with biomass sources instead of coal.
_If it can be replicated, at similar costs, in the developed world, a complete switch over to biomass fuels would be much cheaper than recently thought. the ~$600 billion (FY2005) it would take to cut oil consumption by 10 million bbl/day may be ~$80 billion instead. Though I doubt this is the case, it would have huge implications even if was twice that figure. A one-time investment of $500-$600 (average) per American citizen might suffice to put this country on a path to energy independence.
_Of course, I am simplifying it a bit, and there are other issues to tackle-i.e. where and how to source the biomass beyond waste material. NIMBY may crop up, as are the possible issues of profit sharing, and to make ever more fuel or to cut energy expenditure through efficiency/productivity growth.
Industrial processes actually use minuscule amount of water (aside from cooling, which is merely temporary use of water without it contamination and with close to 100% recycling – think heat sink ponds at nuclear plants).
Same is true with drinking water. It is agriculture which uses huge amounts of water, and high per cent of it is evaporated and not recycled to surface water streams. Yet most of evaporated water is precipitated locally soon after evaporation.
Think about glass of orange juice we enjoy at breakfast – it require 1000 glasses of water to grow and produce. Yet such "water rich" places as Morocco, Spain, California, and Israel are major suppliers of oranges and orange juice to world markets.
I read that CBM (coal bed methane) can produce lots of toxic water for the amount of methane you get. They have to drill lots of wells and get perhaps 20,000 gallons of this water per day per well. I read that the administration has authorized over 70,000 such wells. If you do the math you see that we are going to greater lengths to get lesser amounts of fossil fuel. Maybe this is the time to shift thinking to conservation and renewables.
(aside from cooling, which is merely temporary use of water without it contamination and with close to 100% recycling – think heat sink ponds at nuclear plants).
Temporary, but the heat eventually vaporizes water (either in a cooling tower or downstream in the heated river or lake), so the water is lost in the sense of no longer being available there in liquid form. It eventually precipitates, but mostly far away.
You presented in past a lot of viable back-of-the-envelope calculations for different processes on this web site. Please do it again with amount of water necessary to evaporate in order to cool major industrial plant, and compare it with amount of solar energy daily evaporating water from lawn in front of office building of this plant, or from lawns of workers working at this plant, or from adjacent agricultural field growing fresh vegetables for same workers. You will forget forever to post about "high water consumption" of industrial processes.
Andrey: a 1 GW(e) nuclear plant, for example, dissipates 2 GW(th) of waste heat. This is about the same as the time-averaged sunlight striking an area of about 8 km^2.
I doubt most nuclear plants have 8 km^2 lawns, especially if that plant is in a region with restricted supplies of fresh water.
Agriculture of course uses more water. But, again, you'd worry about this in regions where water is already scarce and presumably there isn't much irrigation or that irrigation already has claims on the available water.
I wouldn't be too sure that CTL is a 'bridge' to BTL. They said that about corn vs cellulose ethanol and we're still waiting. It seems like China will increase its 6,000 coal mining related deaths each year plus respiratory illness in the general population. It takes most of Australia's 200 megaton coal exports which arguably comes back as drought. We can't complain as they are only catching up with the West.
China is screaming for new coal technologies. I just do not understand why U.S. companies have been so slow in answering.
Lack of IP protections for their technology?
_Even if IP protection was stringently enforced, many business deals involving mainland chinese companies demand technology transfers. Some companies are now wary of giving away their IP for quick, short term gains due to medium, and long term ramifications to their business competitiveness.
_Another reason is US and Western Europe are starting to smell bubble in PRC, esp. in the large eastern cities. Hence, they are cutting back on investments. East Asia is filling in - not wanting to miss the China boom - thus we do not see a dip in the overall foreign investment picture.
They said that about corn vs cellulose ethanol and we're still waiting.
These things don't happen overnight. Real world engineering can be a hard and prolonged challenge, especially in highly competitive cost-conscious industries.
Cellulose had to get the cost of enzymes down, not an easy thing to do, but they did it. Now they have to tailor the enzymes to the particular biomass, can be done, but it will take some time. They have made good progress, because there is so much money to be made.
There are more than just enzyme problems for cellulosic ethanol. Another is that the fermentation product is only about 4% ethanol and requires more energy to distill than it yields as fuel. Corn starches yield 15% or so.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Fremont Co. School District 38 makes AYP for first time
Nov 25, 2012 - By Christina George, Staff Writer
Fremont County School District 38 made Adequate Yearly Progress for the 2011-12 academic year -- a first for the Arapahoe district.
"That's very huge for our kids, our staff and our community," superintendent Jonathan Braack said. "It is our kids' turn. It's our parents, community and staff's turn. Success breeds more success, and it's our kids' turn to be on the top. ... Our goal is by the end of 2014-15 to be one of the top 10 schools in Wyoming."
District 38 made AYP last year through safe harbor. Districts that do not meet specific performance benchmarks can still earn AYP status if they show enough growth on the Performance Assessment for Wyoming Students.
PAWS is administered every spring to students in grades 3-8 and 11. The exam covers reading and math. Students in grades 4, 8 and 11 are also tested in science.
Braack said the K-8 school only needed to see growth in one student subgroup, but the school made requirements in 10 subgroups.
"This puts the K-8 school in a 'holding' (category), and if we meet AYP in 2012-13, it will remove K-8 out of improvement entirely," Braack said. "We're really excited about that. That's huge."
Braack said Arapaho Charter High School is on track to make AYP this year through safe harbor.
Arapahoe director of curriculum and instruction Chantell Denson said it's a common myth that it takes districts years to see improvement.
"The students here are smart, and we didn't make them any smarter," Denson said. "There were systems missing, and we put them into place."
How they did it
Braack said District 38 failed to meet performance levels in many of the subjects for several years. The breaking point was 2010-11, when not a single performance benchmark was reached.
Braack, who was hired in January, said Arapahoe agreed to use one of four U.S. Department of Education models in exchange for federal funding to aid in improving PAWS scores.
He said in the second half of last year, the district used the "turnaround" model, which requires replacing some staff and improving the school through comprehensive curriculum reform, professional development, extending learning time and other strategies.
He noted the model isn't always popular, but it is research-based and can be powerful if used correctly.
The model requires districts to look at existing practices, find out what is not working and make immediate changes.
Denson said her focus is on curriculum, assessments and instruction. Current programs are being examined, and those deemed inconsistent with the curriculum are being replaced.
Denson is also working to pull together relevant data for teachers to use as a tool.
"We're trying to be extremely data driven," she said.
Braack noted the district's use of the professional learning community model, which asks teachers to think about what students are supposed to be learning, how the district can tell if students are learning, and what the district can do if a student isn't learning.
Braack said a lot of work is going into assuring progress continues and is safeguarded. Staff members are using a newly adopted strategic plan as a guiding tool that involves program fidelity, school culture, strong leadership and parent/community involvement.
"This plan has core objectives and core strategies on how to meet those goals," Braack said. "This is a tool that districts often engage, and the ones who use it well are the ones at the top."
Denson said it's critical that the district sticks with the plan, which is continually being reviewed.
"It defines what we are trying to do for everybody," she said.

Last month we reached a big milestone on our website. We now have over 700 video interviews and their full text transcripts accessible from our digital archives. These testimonies from Japanese American elders provide rich life lessons to learn from. For example, four years ago in Denver, Bob Sakata shared how he picked himself up after the dual challenge of the tragic death of his father in an auto accident while Bob was driving and then a debilitating farm accident that left Bob hospitalized with burns for over a year.
Bob's story is just one of the struggles the Nisei faced before, during, and after World War II. But when I listen to these stories of struggle, what I also hear is the strength of the Japanese American community. It is a strength that sometimes divides the Japanese American community, but this strength from struggle also binds the community.
More than a hundred years ago tens of thousands of Japanese came to Hawai'i and the West Coast to face the harsh life of being an immigrant in America. These individuals faced language barriers and discrimination as they eked out a living and established families and growing communities. World War II devastated the Japanese American community as members were put under a hostile watch in Hawai'i and on the West Coast they were removed from their homes and incarcerated. From these struggles came strength in the 1980s to work together to fight against this injustice as many challenged themselves to engage the courts, Congress, the President, and most importantly, public opinion by sharing their painful personal stories so that the truth would be known, leading to the redress movement and Civil Liberties Act of 1988.

Back in 1995, a public television show called "The Computer Chronicles" made an episode about an emerging technology: "The Net."
We found the video after venture capitalist MG Siegler embedded it on his blog.
It's pretty insane how far things have come in the last 20 years.
Our exploration starts with host Stewart Cheifet. He's at an Internet Cafe, "Where you get the best of both worlds: real people and virtual people."

A fun-filled family day out!
The new definition of water park...
Siam Park is a brand new record-breaking, oriental adventure in the South of Tenerife. Opening it's doors for the first time this summer, it's already bagged the title of Europe's largest waterpark.
Whether you want a bit of rest and relaxation, or perhaps an adventure to get the heart racing, rest assured there's plenty to do for the whole family. The lazy Sawasdee River is over a kilometer long, and glides gently past islands, through an aquarium set in a cave, and down the rapids. Or if you're looking to step the pace up a bit, why not tackle the Wave Palace? It's got the largest man-made waves anywhere - up to an incredible 3 metres in height. It's got it's own surf school too!
But it's not just about size. Siam Park is a world full of mystery - step through it's enormous gates and lose yourself in an ancient oriental kingdom, with adventures waiting around every corner. Tackle the Mekong Rapids. Dare to ride The Dragon. Experience the hurtling speed and laser shows of The Volcano. And once you've conquered that lot, hold on tight because the slithering Jungle Snake and the breath-taking Tower of Power are waiting for you...
But if that all sounds a little too fast-paced, you can always plump for a cool drink in the warm Tenerife sun instead. Sunbeds come free with parasols, and there's a selection of bars and restaurants to choose from. So whatever you fancy, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
For more information and to pre-book your entry tickets, visit your Thomson Representative in resort or contact us via your Holidayline number. For more information, you can also visit the Siam Park website at www.siampark.net.

Would you date a Hooters girl?
just curious because I'm thinking of applying there for a job.
Most Helpful Opinion
Sure I would. Why wouldn't I? I mean for starters it's really just a job. I mean granted a job where you wear tight T-Shirts and pants but that's nothing. After all it's not like you're working in a titty bar as a dancer/waitress, it's not like you're taking your clothes off right? The only downside is all the guys who might flirt with you but who cares really? I mean aside from Anonymous Male.
Really it's not that big of a deal. Anyway so I say go for it. If you can't get a date from a guy because he's too uncomfortable with you simply working in a restaurant, then he's too immature to be in a relationship in general. Wouldn't you agree?
What Guys Said 11
Mostly likely... no. It's bad enough girls are required to flirt, and guys are very territorial to some extent. Even if your cool with your girlfriend having guy friends, this pretty much draws a line. A girl there has to flirt with all sorts of men. Old, perverted, or even creepy. It's just... not the sort of thing I want to be worrying constantly over. People might say, "Oh that's just insecurity". But then again, picture your boyfriend in a flock of girls. I doubt most girls wouldn't mind.
If you desire a job there then go for it. I've been to Hooters twice and I found the girls there to be exceptionally friendly, but then again, they're trained to do so. They are also a bit more intimate, for example when a girl asks for your order she will sit down with all of you and perhaps be a bit more opened to questions and/or suggestions. Keep in mind that you will probably adopt this attitude when you work there.
I'm not sure if I would date a hooters girl, since I tend to assume they're taken, but you never know.
This sounds like an interesting experiment and I recommend you try it out.
Why would you want to work there? The average guy is of course going to tell you yes. Yes you will get a lot of attention of course, and some good tips. I don't know, I guess. It's late.
I would want to work there because I have the right qualifications and I could earn good money. it's not like this is what I aspire to do, but I need to make money in order to get places.
- Show Older Hide Older
Take it from me, I work at a government job and work pretty high up. I get paid more than PhDs and I don't even have my bachelors yet. Go figure. I know times are tough, my friends are out of work. No law offices do not choose sternly looking guys. I have a friend that's a girl who was an office assistant there. She did pretty good. Most places love young attractive girls in that role. Not to sound sexist.
Some girls I absolutely tell to work at Hooters. Because I don't think they have the ability to work anything else. I'm not saying they're dumb, but just on a different level is all. Yeah you can make money, not serious money, but its a job. If that's what you want to do, go ahead. I'm just saying you are an intelligent girl who can set her sets higher and build a better resume for a career.

It was a 100+ day and I was keeping my right leg away from the fairing due to the heat. Now to be fair, I forgot my chaps at home which I normally wear all the time and heat isn't usually an issue, but I was just wearing my draggin jeans and it was uncomfortably hot.
I was taking it easy, mainly because I didn't want to bin the C14. I found the C14 sort of heavy steering, hard to describe and the feeling was going away near the end of the day so it may have just been getting used to the new bike. We were riding in a group so I wasn't as free to put the bike through it's paces like I normally would on a "demo" ride. Power is immediate and everywhere, obviously and what kind of surprised me was how easy it was to ride, it wasn't scary fast. I only took it up over 6000rpm a few times before I had to back off, we were on some fairly tight twistie unfamiliar roads, so again not the best place for me to see what the bike could do. I wasn't sold on it and definitely came away with the feeling that I don't really see owning one in my future.
I did sell my RT this summer right after we got back from that trip and bought a Honda CBF1000 to replace it. The CBF has similar power characteristics as the C14, it has power everywhere and shifting is optional, but just obviously not in as big of doses as the C14. I'm a naked bike guy at heart, the RT was actually my wife's bike that we ended up with sitting in the garage after she bought her Ninja and I rode for 33,000kms. I was just telling a friend who rides a ZX14, it's his wife who owns the C14, that Kawi needs to come out with a naked 14 like Suzuki did with the B-King, but just make it a basic naked bike and not some space age looking weird bike. After all, that's what the ZX14 and C14 are all about is the motor, show that baby off!

IPT Profiles Hamza Yusuf
IPT News
April 18, 2011
Hamza Yusuf is a difficult man to figure out.
As a new IPT profile on Yusuf shows, he believes that American culture "revels in" war and violence. He has argued that Muslims, including the inspiration for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, do not get justice in American courts.
Yet, unlike one of his partners at Zaytuna, he has never flinched in acknowledging Muslims were behind the 9/11 attacks. He apologized for having called Judaism racist. He was embraced by the Bush White House after 9/11, but often sees America as a malevolent force in the world.
Yusuf is founder and president of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, Calif., which seeks to become "the first accredited Muslim college in the United States." He also is a popular speaker and oft-quoted source in the media.
In a 1995 lecture, Yusuf said the religion was racist because "…The Jews would have us believe that God had this bias to this small tribe in the middle of the Sinai Desert and all the rest of humanity is just rubbish."
Yusuf publicly expressed regret for the statement years later, saying that "anti-Semitism, anti-anything does not reflect my core values." He urged people to "see my spiritual growth, as a person, as a religious scholar."
That evolution hasn't changed his views of two high-profile prosecutions of Muslim activists.
Two days before 9/11, Yusuf spoke at a fundraiser for Jamil al-Amin, then on trial for murdering a sheriff's deputy in Fulton County, Ga. Al-Amin was framed, Yusuf argued, in order to "silence" him. Al-Amin "is a dangerous man. It's a dangerous man who will speak the truth."
Al-Amin was convicted of murder the following year. At the fundraiser though, Yusuf seemed to suggest that America's "institutionalized racism" was linked with Brown's plight. "We can't buy the stale rhetoric of human rights because we have not seen the proof of it," he said.
At the same fundraiser, he also said that Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, convicted in a conspiracy to bomb New York landmarks in the 1990s, was unjustly tried. Citing former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Yusuf claimed that the "Blind Sheikh's" conviction went "against any standards of justice in any legal system on this earth, and now he sits in a jail because it was already a foregone conclusion." Abdel-Rahman is serving a sentence of life plus 65 years for crimes that include conspiring to murder former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and plotting to bomb the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, the George Washington Bridge, the New York FBI headquarters, various military installations and the United Nations building.
After 9/11, however, Yusuf tempered much of his radical ideology. He often condemns terrorism. But he still sees the United States as an inherently hostile nation, one that "relishes war."
Unlike Zaid Shakir, his colleague at Zaytuna College, Yusuf readily acknowledges that the 9/11 attacks were the work of Islamic extremists. Shakir says there are "glaring weaknesses and inconsistencies in the official narrative" about 9/11 and allows his writings to be republished by a website devoted to 9/11 conspiracy theories.
Within a week of the attacks, however, Yusuf told the San Jose Mercury News that it was shocking to him that there are "any Muslims – no matter how statistically insignificant their numbers – who consider these acts to be religious acts … And therefore we as Muslims have to ask the question, 'How is it that our religious leadership has failed to reach these people with the true message of Islam?' Because the acts of these criminals have indicted an entire religion in the hearts and minds of millions. These people are so bankrupt that all they have to offer is destruction."
Yusuf added that: "If there are any martyrs in this affair [9/11] it would certainly be those brave firefighters and police that went in there to save human lives and in that process lost their own."
He told the Wall Street Journal that some Muslims were in denial over what happened. "They are coming up with different conspiracy theories and don't entertain the real possibility that it was indeed Muslims who did this. Yet we do have people within our ranks who have reached that level of hatred and misguidance."
Such remarks helped Yusuf become a more visible representative of Muslim Americans. He attended the presidential address on Sept. 20, 2001, sitting near Laura Bush. He was at the White House that same day, where he said "Hate knows no religion. Hate knows no country. Islam was hijacked on that September 11, 2001, on that plane as an innocent victim."
Last year, Yusuf was one of nine imams who appeared in a July 2010 anti-terrorism video released by the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) explaining that religiously motivated violence is wrong and contradicts the teachings of Islam.
On other issues, however, Yusuf appears conflicted about what kind of country the United States is. His speeches include frequent references to the innate goodness of the American people and benefits of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. But when it comes to America's role in the world - and the war against jihadist terror in particular - Yusuf on multiple occasions has portrayed the United States as a malevolent force.
In another public appearance, Yusuf questioned the premise that the American people do not want to go to war. He then proceeded to suggest that the opposite is true - that American culture "revels in" war and violence.
During remarks made in 2006, Yusuf disparaged television journalist Tom Brokaw's book The Greatest Generation, a tribute to the American soldiers who won World War II (Yusuf mistakenly refers to it as "The Great Generation"). "The Great Generation bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons. The Great Generation is guilty of war crimes against huge civilian populations in Germany – Hamburg, Dresden. We don't like to think about that, because collectively, 'all of the Germans were guilty.' We demonized them."
America is "a society that relishes war," Yusuf said. The abuse of Iraqi prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison "is a direct result" of the fact that too many American children grow up watching violent television programs and movies. "We are Abu Ghraib, and that is part of us," Yusuf said.

Reader comments on this item
He's really not hard to figure out
Submitted by Andrew, Jun 3, 2011 17:41
I don't understand why you consider him "difficult to figure out".
- He deplores and has spoken out against terrorism.
- He lauds some of the principles of freedom in the USA.
- He condemns some of the bad parts of the USA: our foreign adventurism, our hedonistic culture and our export of that culture. Do you think everything in the US is bluebirds and sunshine...?
- He thinks a couple cases of prosecution of Muslims (out of thousands) are perhaps suspect. I'm not sure I agree but then, millions of Americans think OJ Simpson was unfairly prosecuted, so it's not like disagreeing over court case outcomes is un-American.
- His original comments on Judaism are not really that "racist". I don't agree with it and he's retracted it, but Yusuf is hardly an anti-Semite. He's pointed out that his sister married a Jew and converted to Judaism, and he is quite familiar with the religion.
It's not contradictory to state that the average American prefers peace over war, and yet also say that the American culture "revels in war and violence". Have you been to the movies lately?
You go a bit overboard when you say he "allows his writings to be republished by a website devoted to 9/11 conspiracy theories." More like people quote him on their websites and he doesn't have the resources/interest to hire attorneys to track down every use of his words (assuming there is even a way to have it removed).

Article on Hamza Yusuf
Submitted by Hamz Yusuf, May 24, 2011 17:01
I am writing because the article you have posted on me is threatening
my safety given your website is clearly
identified to investigate terror. I have never supported terrorism or
violence. You can find no statement in my
entire public or private conversation that condones violence with a
possible exception to pedophiles, in a statement
I made in Irvine. Some of the statements are also clearly out of
context. The Jihad is the Only Way Out was published in it
entirety in Traces magazine and you have clearly obfuscated the talk
and made it look like I was talking about military
Jihad, which I was not as is clear from the entire piece. I actually
condemned terrorism in the same talk. I also gave a talk
in Philadelphia four days before 9/11 warning Muslims that subverting
America in any way was haram by Shariah.
You are either not doing your research or exposing your own hidden
agenda. At this stage I am giving you the benefit of the doubt.
But I won't if you continue this false attack on me. I don't mind most
of the quotes as they are accurate, but the suggestion that I am a
secret supporter of violence or terrorism is quite sinister and
unconscionable. The no voting was referring to the Black Churches in the
South that were burned down. I argued against a resolution because it
was meaningless to vote on something clearly wrong.
The FBI never questioned me about anything. They visited to ask for
help and to assure the Muslim leadership that they would
not tolerate hate crimes. The Washington Post article was wrong so I
don't fault you on that. I feel you know who I am and this
is highly unethical. You should really look into your heart, my
friend, and ask yourself if this is the type person you want to be.
If you do not remove that piece, which threatens me and my family
given I am not hard to find, I will have to resort to legal action.
Sincerely disappointed in you,
hamza yusuf

Office of Public Affairs Info for Media
Release Date: February 11, 2010
Contact: Carol Schriber, 919-733-9190
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded $5.4 million to North Carolina to support public health efforts to reduce obesity, increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and decrease smoking — the four most important actions for combating chronic diseases and promoting health.
Making North Carolina a healthier state is a priority for Gov. Bev Perdue, in terms of both quality of life and from a statewide economic standpoint.
"Having healthy, well-educated people will lower health care costs, increase productivity, and provide the best workforce in the country," said Gov. Perdue. "All of those things are the best incentives to attract new and relocating businesses to North Carolina," Perdue said.
The award to North Carolina is part of $119.5 million going to the states as the first of several initiatives that make up the comprehensive prevention and wellness initiative, Communities Putting Prevention to Work, which is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
North Carolina will be allotted $3.8 million over two years to reduce and prevent obesity across the state by improving opportunities for physical activity and access to healthy foods. Another $1.6 million is to be used for the N.C. Quitline telephone service, tobacco use prevention, and other programs to help people quit tobacco.
A focus of the funding is creating sustainable changes in work and community environments to support healthy lifestyles. North Carolina's efforts will involve many public and private partners at the state and local levels. A statewide worksite wellness initiative will encourage employers to make sustainable changes, such as establishing employee wellness policies to support healthy behaviors. Wellness experts from the public and private sectors will be part of a statewide Worksite Wellness Collaborative that promotes best practices and supports North Carolina employers in implementing comprehensive wellness programs.
The grants couldn't have come at a more critical time. In North Carolina, more than half of all deaths occur earlier than expected. Many of these premature deaths are related to chronic diseases that can be prevented or managed through physical activity, healthy eating, and avoiding tobacco use and exposure.
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in North Carolina. An estimated 13,000 North Carolinians ages 35 years or older die each year from smoking-related causes. Poor nutrition and lack of adequate physical activity comprise the second leading preventable cause of death in the state. Two-thirds of North Carolina adults and one-third of our children are overweight or obese, putting them at increased risk of illness and death from coronary heart disease, type II diabetes, stroke, and several forms of cancer.
"Poor eating habits and inactive lifestyles are at the root of so many of our health issues, including high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer – even arthritis and injuries," said State Health Director Jeff Engel, MD. "These problems are largely preventable. We as a state must make it easier for people to eat smart and move more. The ARRA grants will allow North Carolina to continue its momentum in addressing tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, and reducing obesity."

After you have had a
seizure, it can be difficult to predict whether you
will have more seizures. This makes it hard to decide whether to begin
treatment for epilepsy. The first seizure you report may not actually be the
first seizure you've had. You may have had seizures in the past, such as brief
absence seizures or auras, without knowing they were
Doing an
electroencephalogram (EEG), especially after sleep deprivation, may reveal abnormalities in the
brain's electrical activity that may help confirm the diagnosis of epilepsy.
Often done routinely after first seizures,
CT and
MRI scans can be helpful in detecting changes in the
brain that could be related to epilepsy. Imaging scans may be done under other
circumstances, too. These tests may be done immediately if the person who has
had the seizure also has a decreased level of consciousness or new motor or
sensory problems that do not improve shortly after the seizure ends. Scans may also be done if the
person has ongoing headache or fever,
AIDS, recent trauma (especially to the head), or a
history of cancer or
anticoagulant therapy. These things increase the
likelihood that the seizure may have been related to a serious problem in the
brain. The nature of the seizure and the person's age can also help determine
whether an imaging test is needed and how soon it is needed.
When making decisions about treatment, your doctor will consider how
likely you are to have a second seizure. About 1 out of 100 people have epilepsy. Risk factors for having a second seizure
There is some evidence to support the use of antiepileptic medicines
after a first seizure to reduce the risk of more seizures. But medicine
is usually not prescribed if you do not have any of the above risk factors and
are thought to be unlikely to have more seizures. Taking antiepileptic
medicines when you are not at risk for more seizures exposes you to side effects and potential harm from the medicine.

(AFP) / 15 September 2012
The death toll from a series of landslides and floods reached 45 in northern India on Saturday as rescuers pulled 17 more bodies from the debris, a state government minister told AFP.
Most of the deaths occurred in the early hours of Friday after heavy downpours in Rudraprayag and Bageshwar districts of the scenic Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, local disaster management minister Yashpal Arya said.
"Seventeen bodies were found today from the affected areas of Rudraprayag," Arya said, adding that army personnel were helping local rescuers hunting for more bodies in four affected villages.
"We fear that up to 18 more bodies could be still buried in the debris in Rudraprayag," he said in the state capital Dehradun, about 300 kilometres (186 miles) from the district.
The latest figure took to 36 the number of people killed in Rudraprayag while nine others were found dead on Friday in Bageshwar, he said.
Uttarakhand has experienced heavy and constant rainfall since Wednesday.
The landslides also stranded around 100 pilgrims travelling to an ancient Hindu temple atop the Garhwal Himalayan range.
India has suffered from a variable monsoon season this year that has been too intense in some parts of the country and too feeble in others.
Excess rainfall in the northeast triggered destructive floods that displaced six million people, while much of the rest of the country sizzled without regular rainfall.
Nationwide, the monsoon has been 10 percent below its seasonal average, according to figures released by the India Meteorological Department last week.

Durnomagus (Dormagen)
Durnomagus: Roman fort in Germania Inferior.
In c.161, it was destroyed by a large fire, probably after the squadron had, together with the First Legion Minervia, been transferred to the east, to fight against the Parthians. From now on, the defense of this sector of the limes was based on Burungum (Haus Bürgel), which was just two hours away.
However, the site was, on a smaller scale, reoccupied, during the Gallic Empire (260-275), this time surrounded by a stone wall. This fort was later rebuilt on a smaller scale, was used by a military unit in the fourth century, and was still used by a Frankish warlord in the seventh century.

8: Edinson Cavani | Napoli to PSG
He may have been the subject of a colossal transfer fee at the back end of last summer - primarily because of his scintillating form for Napoli - but Edinson Cavani's first year in France has hardly been convincing.
Reports of disharmony at the Parc des Princes have never been too far away from the headlines, and rumours that the Uruguayan forward wants a move away from PSG this summer back up the theory that life in Ligue 1 isn't as prosperous as Cavani supposed it would be.
Of course there's the fact that he's been continually played out of position on the wing in order to make way for Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the long striker's role, which exacerbates things further. Our guess is that the 27-year-old made the switch with dollar signs in his eyes and the promise of being the figurehead of a new and exciting European super-power. It's no wonder he wants out.

The Ultimate Winter Wedding…At the North Pole!
What comes to mind when you think "destination wedding"? Beach ceremonies, Italian villas and…below-freezing temperatures? For one Norwegian couple, the ideal destination for their nuptials was the North Pole, the Daily Mail reports. The groom, an arctic explorer by trade, and his bride hopped on a helicopter and jetted to the pole, planted a cross and a few candles in the snow, and made it official in a setting they thought was personal and romantic. "For me it was all about marrying the woman I love in a place I love," the groom says. They then headed to a Russian research facility for their reception. Talk about work-life balance!

34 year old man | Richfield, MN, USA | Seeking women 24-35 within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN
Saving the world, one part at a time.
Hi and welcome to my profile! I enjoy going hunting, fishing, hiking, spending time in, on, or near water. A least couple times a year some friends and I take our atv's and go camping and riding for the weekend. Just last year I started snowmobiling, if you haven't tried it, you should! I bet that you would never guess that people say I'm outdoorsy. Caring, laid back, clever, and funny are some other words used to describe me. I like to stay active. But that doesn't mean I'm completely disgusted with the idea of staying in with a bowl of popcorn and a movie, as long as it's loaded with butter! So far I probably sound like every guy on here. The easiest way for me to set myself apart from the rest is my career. How many Nondestructive Testing Technicians do you know? It's a high stress field, but I like it because my job is rarely the same day after day and there is never an end to what you can improve yourself on. I'm also really interested in flight and I want to get my pilot's license someday. For now I make due with R/C airplanes, although I must say, it's a lot harder to fly those than it looks! Don't believe me? Well, maybe you should come try it sometime. I'm looking for a woman to enjoy life with. Someone to try the things I like and to introduce new things to me. She should be smart and funny. A tolerance of sarcasm is a must! She also needs to lead a healthy-er lifestyle. I say it that way because I try to maintain myself but I also like beer, ice cream, and burgers. Just not all the time!
Camping , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting

classic rock, action movies, comedies, atving, WW2 history, trying new beers, trying new wine, competing with friends as to who can belt out the lamest one-liners, oh and the thing that makes the world go 'round.......STEAK!!
Relaxing with family and friends. I also enjoy going to sporting events, concerts, fishing, bonfires, grilling, pretty much anything outdoors, well almost. There are always exceptions to the rule.

A miniature detector could pick out magnetic rocks on Mars that might harbour telltale signs of ancient life.
The instrument could select rocks that contain a magnetic compound - magnetite - that is also produced by bacteria on Earth. The rocks could then be brought back to Earth for closer examination.
Other efforts to find signs of life on Mars have focused on organic molecules, but Soon Sam Kim of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, US, wants to look for crystals of magnetite like those made by terrestrial bacteria.
"Because it's just a mineral, it has a better chance of survival over billions of years," Kim told New Scientist.
John Miller, a physics professor at the University of Houston in Texas, US, who has worked on ways of finding life on Mars, says: "It looks like a very interesting idea - to look for signatures of these crystals on Mars directly."
Global field
Some terrestrial bacteria make magnetite so they can orient themselves with the Earth's magnetic field and move along it in search of the most favourable conditions.
Mars doesn't have a global magnetic field now, but evidence suggests it once did. "If that's the case, then there could have been some impetus for organisms of that nature to evolve - if indeed life took hold," Miller told New Scientist.
Other microbes produce magnetite as a byproduct of using iron in their metabolism. So if life took hold on Mars, it might have taken advantage of the abundance of iron on Mars, whose distinctive red hue comes from iron oxide, says Miller.
Size matters
Bacteria produce magnetite crystals in a very narrow size range, whereas 'non-biogenic' minerals occur in a variety of sizes and shapes. The variations in size mean that different kinds of magnetite have distinct magnetic properties.
Kim designed an instrument that scans rock samples to find these magnetic signatures. It is about twice as long as a shoebox, weighs about 2 kilograms and requires just 5 watts of power.
Researchers have previously used microscopes to examine magnetite in Mars rocks. With the new detector, "we don't have to study particle after particle under the microscope", Kim told New Scientist.
Muddled signal
Kim has already used his technique on a Mars meteorite called ALH84001 found in Antarctica. The rock created a stir in 1996, when scientists suggested it contained fossils of tiny Martian microorganisms, an idea that has since widely been discredited.
The meteorite does contain magnetite, but the results of an analysis by Kim and other scientists in 1999 proved inconclusive - the magnetite's magnetic signature looked like something in between the signals expected for biogenic and non-biogenic magnetite.
Kim says there may not have been enough magnetite crystals in the sample to obtain a clear magnetic signature - a mixture of the two kinds of magnetite might have produced the "muddled" signal.
The detector has not been assigned to any specific Mars missions, but Kim says it could offer a good "preliminary sample selection tool" for a future Mars sample return mission.

Marseille coach Didier Deschamps has called for everyone at the club to "roll up their sleeves" in a bid to end their current slump, starting with Saturday's Coupe de la Ligue final against Lyon.
OM slumped to their 11th defeat in 12 games last night as Montpellier moved three points clear at the Ligue 1 summit with a 3-1 win at the Stade Velodrome.
Deschamps has started to come under increasing pressure, with Marseille down in ninth place, but the former France captain has urged everyone to pull together and show some grit at the Stade de France at the weekend.
He told the club's website: "We need to have a competitor's mentality because there's a title on the line. It's another game and we're doing it tough, we're in a rut, but we can't afford to let our heads drop.
"We have to roll up our sleeves again and do whatever it takes to fight, even if things are against us. Obviously there are always solutions, but there's no miracle cure either..."
Deschamps admitted belief was low in the camp at present. "We've got a confidence problem, we're fragile," he said. "Wearing this shirt isn't easy. When things are going well, it's fantastic. But when things aren't going your way, it's really not easy.
"The current situation is really tough and I'm not going to point the finger at any individual. If we're in this current situation, it's because we've had a run of negative results. We don't have much time left, but we still have a chance to lift some silverware.
"That's also something about playing at this level: you have to know how to put a defeat behind you and arrive at your next game with enough confidence to give it your best shot."
Morocco international Younes Belhanda scored twice for the visitors in another impressive display by Rene Girard's men. Afterwards, Girard refused to discuss the title race, though, and preferred instead to focus on the battle for UEFA Champions League qualifying spots.
He said: "The result puts us in the box seat to take one of the top three places. This is a match that I viewed as a bonus game but it was important to take something from it. Now we have a three-point lead over PSG, four points with the goal difference, and a ten-point advantage over Lille."

Three sailors have been added to the London 2012 New Zealand Olympic team today.
Hamish Pepper and Jim Turner in the Men's Keelboat (Star) and Dan Slater in the Men's One Person Heavyweight Dinghy (Finn) were confirmed by the New Zealand Olympic Committee selectors.
"We're honoured to be named to the New Zealand Olympic Sailing Team" said Star sailor Jim Turner after his selection today. "It's an important milestone to tick off on our way to the big one".
Although London 2012 will be Turner's first stab at the Olympic Games, he is not new to the high performance sailing world with six world championships to his name. The new combination in the Star Class with Pepper is proving successful with the duo proving competitive and on-pace at recent events.
Both Hamish Pepper and Dan Slater have represented New Zealand at the Olympic Games in the past and are still at the top of their sport.
Pepper sailed in the Men's One Person Dinghy (Laser) to a 10th place finish at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, 7th place finish at Athens 2004, and then 9th at Beijing 2008 in the Star Class.
Dan Slater raced at the Sydney 2000 Olympics in the 49er skiff class with current Olympic 470 coach Nathan Handley and finished 8th before switching to the Men's One Person Heavyweight Dinghy (Finn) for 2008 and finished 12th. This season, Slater has had two fifth place finishes at World Cup regattas, and a good track record of previous results from the 2012 Olympic venue.
Sailors added to NZ Olympic team
"In many ways, the Weymouth venue is similar to Murrays Bay where I learnt to sail and have been sailing since I was ten" Slater said. "It feels close to home".
The sailors were nominated and selected following performances at this month's World Championships and ongoing ISAF World Cups results.
There are now fifteen sailors attending the London 2012 Olympic Games, representing New Zealand in nine of the ten Olympic sailing disciplines.

Steve Kean is hopeful of adding Bolo Zenden to his Blackburn squad for the end-of-season run-in after meeting with the former Holland international this week.
Thirty-five-year-old Zenden, who has been a free agent since leaving Sunderland last summer, did not pursue an immediate move due to family reasons but, now that he is back on the market, Kean is eager to add him to a group of players desperately trying to pull away from the relegation zone.
"We spoke with Bolo when he came in, he had a look at us and had a look about the training ground. We spoke at length and I think it was important for him to understand where we wanted him to play," Kean said.

Transformers Blu-ray Review
By G-Man Comments
More Than Meets The...Regular DVD
I know this movie has been released on DVD last year. I was sent a copy of the Blu-ray courtesy of Paramount and it deserves to be reviewed. As with their release of Iron Man, this Blu-ray is packed full of extras. The high quality presentation is almost enough to bring a tear to your eye.
Main Feature
I think it's safe to say that pretty much everyone has seen the movie by now. I will admit the weeks before it's theatrical release, I had very high doubts about it. I watched to occasional episode in the 80s but I was more into G.I. Joe than the Transformers. I did watch enough to know they blew away the Go-Bots. Remember them? Probably not. With good reason. I wasn't sure how a live action movie would be. Then I saw the flames on Optimus Prime and all I could do was shake my head.
I did go see it opening weekend. My doubts were unnecessary. I was impressed. Michael Bay scored.
I just watched it again on my HD-TV. It's a gorgeous movie. Filmmakers really have to be conscious of the fact that today's movies will be seen in high definition. I just can't justify watching a movie like this in any other way. It's not the best movie out there. There are some cheesey and predictible parts. It is a fun action-filled adventure of a movie. That's what is important. I won't go into more detail about the film. I give the actual movie a solid 4 out 5. Lots of good actors. The story and characters were well set-up. I wasn't completely crazy about the way it ended but I'm sure the sequel will be just as good, if not better since the 'origins' have been told.
Special Features
Paramount seems to be going all out with the special features they include. There is just so much to watch. They are all in high definition. You get to really see all the aspects of how the movie was made. After watching all of them, I did gain a new respect for Michael Bay and all the actors in the movie. I didn't give much thought about everything they had to do.
There were basically three parts to the special features:
OUR WORLD- The Story Sparks (8:32) - We hear from Spielberg and Bay on their decision to do this movie. You can see that Bay is not afraid to get dirty. He gets in the action in order to get his scene. I was surprsed at how much real action Bay does. He doesn't want everything to be computer generated. Again, that was something that I didn't think about. The effects in the movie were all seamless.
- Human Allies (13:09) - The actors involved are shown. A lot of preparation was involved. It was good to see them simply having a good time making the movie.
- I Fight Giant Robots (13:58) - The military training was shown that some of the actors received. We also see some of the real stunts the actors had to do (like Shia actually standing on a building ledge in his final scene with Megatron).
- Battleground (13:33) - A feature on the different action locations. It was humorous listening to Shia go on about the scene where the helicopters fly under the bridge and they were showed by the "man piss" that was in the drainage tunnels.
THEIR WAR- Rise Of The Robots (13:39) - A nice history of the Transformers toys and cartoon. It's shown how they were chosen and designed for the movie.
- Autobots Roll Out (19:59) - A feature on all the actual cars used along with the customizing done. Over 200 cars were flipped or blown up for the movie!
- Decepticons Strike (14:32) - How the Decepticons were designed.
- Inside The Allspark (16:59) - A feature on all the digital effects that went into the movie.
-Transformers Tech Inspetor - Not really a feature. A way to get 360 degree views on the Transformers. You're allowed to zoom in on different areas.
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE- From Script To Sand: The Skorponok Desert Attack (8:52) - Storyboards, models and animatics are shown in creating the attack scene in the desert.
- Concepts (2:09) - We get to see early art designs of Cybertron, different Transformers and scenes from the movie.
- Trailers - Teaser 1, Theatrical 2 and Theatrical 4.
Totalling up the features running times you can see that you'll have a lot to watch. I didn't watch the commentary in this viewing. There's also a Heads Up Display that gives a picture in picture description the making of certain scenes. There's also the BD-Live online features.
I was surprised and disappointed that there were no deleted scenes or a gag reel. I can understand not having a gag reel but a couple deleted scenes were briefly shown in the making of features. It seems that there would've been more than just two scenes cut out. One had Shia talking to his dad walking out of the police station. The entire scene couldn't be seen because there was talking going on about the making of the movie.
Despite that, it's still a great disc. Paramount is also offering a ten dollar rebate (on this and select other Blu-rays) if you've purchased a DVD version and want to upgrade. If you have a Blu-ray player, it's definitely worth it. As I mentioned, Blu-ray is the only way I want to watch my movies at home. The special features did offer a lot of insight but there wasn't anything that really knocked my socks off. I give the features a 4 out of 5 also.
Transformers is an enjoyable movie that belongs in your Blu-ray (or DVD) library.

Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have done their share of talking, when it comes to the hoopla surrounding KISS' induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's only fair to hear what Ace Frehley and Peter Criss have to say.
In an interview with Revolver Magazine, Ace said a big reason Paul and Gene didn't want a reunion performance was to "validate the current lineup," which Ace referred to as "half a KISS cover band." (Ouch!)
In an upcoming episode of VH1 Classic's That Metal Show (airing March 22nd at 11 pm), Peter appears as a guest and addresses the Rock Hall madness. A prolific quote from Peter during the episode has leaked where he addresses Paul and Gene by saying, "What's wrong with giving ten minutes of your time for the forty years that you've given us?"
Hmmmmm…we don't know what Paul and Gene's response will be, but we can't wait to hear it!
