Sierra Club Currents -- Study Shows Pollution Prevention is Economic Plus
Quote of Note:
"The fact that men and women are ill and not being helped here is a national disgrace. We are the wealthiest nation on earth; the least we can do is provide health care for the men and women who were there on 9/11. They were here for us. We need to be here for them."
- Rep. Carolyn Maloney, (D-NY) on the need for health care for those exposed to dust at Ground Zero following the 9/11 attack
(1) Take Action: Flip the Switch: Bring America's New Energy Future to Life
(2) Take Action: Speak Up for Clean Air!
(3) 9/11: Forgotten Heroes
(4) New Study: Preventing Pollution Better Than Cleaning It Up
(1) Take Action: Flip the Switch: Bring America's New Energy Future to Life
The House and Senate already put everything in place, now it's time to finish what they started, flip the switch and turn this new energy future on. Urge your Representative and Senators to pass sound energy legislation this fall!
Congress must include both CAFE and RES in their final upcoming energy bill to reduce our dependence on oil and cut greenhouse gases. Without both measures, the U.S. will continue down a polluting fossil fuel path instead of putting us on the path toward energy independence.

(2) Take Action Speak Up for Clean Air!
Smog pollution, or ozone, can cause a wide range of health problems including shortness of breath, increased risk of asthma attacks, and even premature death. The EPA has acknowledged that current smog standards do not protect public health and the agency is considering tightening the standards. EPA recently held five public hearings in major US cities and is currently accepting public comment on the standard. Now is the time to speak up for clean air.
Please let EPA Administrator Johnson know you want an ozone standard that truly protects public health, not one cooked up by industry.
(3) 9/11: Forgotten Heroes
The terrorist attack of September 11 was one of our country's most horrific moments. Six years later the attack continues to devastate and even end lives. Hundreds of rescue workers are now suffering from serious illnesses as a result of their exposure to toxic smoke and dust at Ground Zero. With a growing number of firefighters, police and volunteers needing care for 9/11 related illnesses, the amount of aid offered by the federal government is woefully inadequate.
See the stories of Ground Zero heroes still suffering from the attack.
(4) New Study: Preventing Pollution Better Than Cleaning It Up
A new study released by the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that it makes more sense to try to prevent pollution than to clean it up afterward. The study, which compared two of the world's biggest polluters -- the U.S. and China, found that the economic costs of air pollution were high, resulting in premature death, decreased productivity and lower crop yields. Reducing emissions on the other hand can provide significant economic benefits, according to the study.

Clinton Criticizes Trump's Extreme Views in Reno Speech
Hillary Clinton sharply criticized the extreme views of Donald Trump during a speech in Reno, Nevada today. Clinton said that Trump is "taking hate groups mainstream" with his hateful rhetoric. She blamed him for allowing the extreme right take over the Republican Party. "From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. He's taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America's two major political parties. His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous," Clinton said.
Hillary for America also released a report outlining how Trump has given "Alt-Right" groups the control of the Republican Party. The report takes several of Trump's policy proposals in quotes into consideration. The report concludes, "This kind of hatred is impacting our families, our communities and the public discourse – the so-called "Trump effect" – and we must recognize and stand up against it in order to keep the fringe extremism out of the White House." A video from Clinton's speech in Reno is below, and the full report can be read on The Briefing.

Roger Stone: Trump ' Release Your Tax Returns Immediately'
What we're doing in Louisiana
Last week Louisiana was struck by an intense, slow-moving storm that produced record rainfall, up to 30 inches in some places, that flooded an expansive area across the lower half of the state -- robbing so many Louisianans of their businesses, homes, and sense of security.
Since before the flooding began, FEMA has been working hand-in-hand with Louisiana officials to respond and help in the recovery efforts -- from providing shelter and housing and warm meals, to helping support home repairs and meet other serious disaster-related needs. As of this week, we've approved more than $127 million to help survivors with home repairs, rental assistance and other needs, and to advance payments to flood insurance policyholders who sustained damages, providing expedited relief.
That's exactly what the President directed us to do: Support and assist the people of Louisiana, no matter what it takes.Today, President Obama traveled to Baton Rouge to see the federal response effort firsthand. Watch what he had to say:
FEMA with our federal, state, private sector, and nonprofit partners are working around the clock to help make sure Louisianans have what they need to recover and rebuild their lives. Recovery is a long-term process, it's important that Louisianans know: You're not in this alone and we're with you for the long haul.You can get the latest information on what's happening on the ground here.
And if you or anyone you know has been impacted by this flooding, here are a few key resources that you can use and share:
To find the nearest Disaster Recovery Center visit www.fema.gov/DRC, use the FEMA Mobile Application, or text DRC and your zip code to 43362 (4FEMA).
If you are a resident or business owner who has sustained losses in the designated parishes, you can apply for assistance from FEMA by registering online atwww.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or 1-800-462-7585(TTY) for the hearing and speech impaired.
And if you want to do what you can to help the people of Louisiana get back on their feet, you can visit www.VolunteerLouisiana.gov to see how you can contribute to the response and recovery efforts.
Long after these floods recede and fall away from the headlines, FEMA and our colleagues in the federal response effort will be here alongside state officials as long as we are needed. It's our job to help make sure every community can recover and rebuild.
And that's what we plan to do.

Former GOP Treasurer of the United States Endorses Hillary Clinton
Hillary for America announced that Hillary Clinton has been endorsed by former United States Treasurer Rosario Martin. Martin served during the administration of President George W. Bush. In a statement, Martin explains that while she is a Republican, she has set aside politics and considered her country first. She said that while she has "disagreed with and criticized Hillary Clinton's positions, but I have come to the conclusion that she would be a far better president than the Republican candidate could ever be." A full copy of Martin's statement is below.
"I have been a Republican since I became a U.S. Citizen in 1984 and was proud to vote for Ronald Reagan's reelection. Eventually, I was given the incredible honor to be the United States Treasurer, the first Mexican-born to hold this title.
I have been a loyal, trusted and fiery fighter for every Republican presidential candidate. I have been a delegate to the previous five Republican conventions. But since July 2015, when a certain candidate, upon entering the political arena, showed his contempt for Mexican immigrants by stating they were drug dealers, rapists and murderers, I have voiced my disgust and have warned one and all of the perilous threat he was to our party, our nation and the world.
I had hoped against hope that my party would listen. After all I had the personal commitment of our party chair, after the catastrophic loss of Mitt Romney, that Hispanics were going to be an important voting bloc for the party and that significant efforts would be made to augment their numbers in our party.
Maybe I was naive, maybe it was just a strong desire to believe. But the party left me and my community all alone again. It has had plenty of time to stand up for my community, but it has chosen not to do so. I have come to the devastatingly painful realization that my party right now doesn't want my vote nor that of my community. Evidently it is not important, or not as important as some other voting bloc.
So, for me to consider the unthinkable--to vote for a Democrat--has been a profound soul searching process. Leaders are tested time and time again and so, I will stand up for my community against the menace of a tyrannical presidency that does not value the countless contributions of immigrants across its beautiful and bountiful history.
I have disagreed with and criticized Hillary Clinton's positions, but I have come to the conclusion that she would be a far better president than the Republican candidate could ever be. She understands that words spoken from the White House have consequences, that sarcasm is not a strategy when dealing with delicate world situations, that our friends and foes listen to every word spoken by our president and react accordingly.
There is too much at stake both domestically and abroad to have a thoughtless individual at the helm of the most important economy in the world.
My party and its standard bearer leave me no choice; on November 8, I will vote for Hillary Clinton."

Even Donald Trump Knows He's Finished
According to the Daily Mail, the dejected Donald Trump didn't even stick around to work the rope line, declining all requests from his fans for selfies. This seeming white flag of surrender from Trump comes at the end of a which in which he's been slammed by everyone from the major media outlets to leaders of his own Republican Party who feel he went way too far when he called for the death of his opponent Hillary Clinton and then claimed that President Obama was the "founder of ISIS."
Trump also claimed during his Altoona speech yesterday that Clinton, who is currently leading Pennsylvania by double digits in multiple polls, can only win the state "by cheating" – without bothering to explain why he was accusing her of cheating. He then went on to refer to Hillary as the "Most Improved Player" for ISIS. But mainly, Trump seemed to just want to go home.

Here is why Florida is going to be so important this November election
According to recent polls, Hillary Clinton is up double digits in three states that Trump can't afford to lose: Colorado, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
"That's because Democrats have a built-in advantage in the Electoral College," writes The Fix's Aaron Blake. "As our own Chris Cillizza wrote recently, Clinton basically starts with 242 of the 270 electoral votes she needs just if she can hold the 19 states that Democrats have won in each of the last six presidential elections — a group that includes Pennsylvania. If she wins all them and adds Florida, with its 29 electoral votes, it's game over."
Here's one of several Clinton-win scenarios that we could easily imagine happening based on the polls right now:

Hillary's GOP outreach strategy is "Barbara Boxer Centrism."
Thursday, August 04, 2016
Hewlett-Packard CEO and prominent Republican donor Meg Whitman announced this week that she will vote for Hillary Clinton in November. And last night Air Force vet and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Illinois, made it official in an interview with CNN: He will not be supporting Donald Trump either. Whitman and Kinzinger add their voices to a growing chorus of those on the right who are voting across the aisle, abstaining from voting, or leaving the party rather than vote for the Republican nominee. Here is a running roll call of Republicans who fit one of those categories,
compiled by ABC's JENNIFER HANSLER, ADAM KELSEY and LINDSEY JACOBSON:
Marco Rubio Kisses Up To Trump
Marco Rubio's humiliating attempt to embrace Donald Trump has now been consummated. A few days after Rubio declaredthat "[w]e have to make sure that Donald wins,"Trump told supporters at a rally in Florida, "I endorsed Marco. He endorsed me. Go for Marco!" Before Rubio made his infamous about-face and decided to run for re-election, Trump had urged him to do so on Twitter, but this is far more explicit, and since it was in person rather than online, it makes for much better fodder for Democratic attack ads.
It's also a kiss-off to self-funding businessman Carlos Beruff, who has berated Rubio non-stop for failing to adequately support Trump—though Trump probably has little idea who Beruff is. The same is true of most primary voters, since a new survey from St. Pete Polls finds Rubio with a giant 55-22 lead on Beruff. Believe it or not, that's actually the closest that any pollster has shown the race, but it's still far from close. Beruff can keep spending his own money to hammer away at Rubio, but with his chief line of attack seriously undermined, it's hard to see how he has a way forward.
However, even though Beruff may have just gotten kneecapped, Rubio has a bruising general election to look forward to, and Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy has just fired off the first warning shot. In a new TV ad, Murphy blasts Rubio for owning the worst voting record in the Senate, saying that while "people are working hard just to get by" in Florida, "in Washington, Marco Rubio stopped showing up for work." Murphy then links himself tightly to President Obama as a photo of the two appears on screen, saying he'll work to protect Social Security and a woman's right to choose.
While it might seem strange or even concerning that Murphy is looking toward November when he still has a primary to worry about, the situation has shifted in his favor on the home front.
After more than a year of static polling showing the Democratic nomination a tossup, Murphy has finally broken the race open with less than four weeks to go before primary day. A new survey from St. Pete Polls finds Murphy leading fellow Rep. Alan Grayson 45-20, by far the biggest advantage either candidate has sported this year. While Grayson has seen his campaign suffer badly in recent weeks following accusations from his ex-wife that he physically abused her, the more likely explanation for this new gap is Murphy's dominance on the airwaves, and in particular, ads featuring endorsements from Obama and Joe Biden.
Not only have the Murphy campaign and the Senate Majority PAC run spots showcasing the president and vice president, but a pro-Murphy super PAC called Floridians for a Strong Middle Class just threw down another $520,000 to simply re-air SMP's own ad. That suggests this is an effective message, and it ought to be: The vast majority of Democrats have high opinions of Obama and Biden.
Grayson, meanwhile, is reportedly running an adclaiming that Murphy is "looking to cut Social Security," but we can find neither hide nor hair of it online. And it may be difficult to find on TV, too, since there's no way Grayson can advertise as heavily since his warchest is far smaller than Murphy's. But just how much smaller we don't actually know. Rather remarkably, even for Grayson, his campaign filed a second-quarter fundraising report that said it had spent a total of zero dollars between April and June.
The same report claimed that had raised just $55,000 for the quarter and finished with a feeble $484,000 on-hand, but obviously none of these numbers can be trusted. When Politico asked the Grayson campaign about this, it said that it had raised $1 million and had $400,000 left over, and that that it would submit a corrected report. That was on July 26, and the original report was filed on July 15, so we're coming up on three weeks in which Grayson has failed to properly disclose his campaign finances as required by law. And at the moment, that's far from his worst problem.

Trump's Convention Made People Less Likely To Vote For Him
Gallup's polling suggests there may have been plenty of people in Trump's audience who were convinced by his speech -- to vote for someone else.
To be frank, most polls aren't worth writing about. Especially in this election season, with its day-long, Serlingesque controversies and without much substantive talk of policy proposals or qualifications, polls come and go with the tone of the news cycle. But when a poll displays a real change of course from the historical example, it's worth…
Clinton Campaigns with Warren Buffett in Omaha
On Monday, Hillary Clinton traveled to Omaha, Nebraska where she was joined by billionaire businessman Warren Buffett. During his speech, he called out Republican Donald Trump for his questionable business practices and bankruptcies. The focus of his attacks on Trump, however, was the fact he has not released any of his tax returns. He told the crowd that Trump isn't afraid of his financial practices, but he is afraid of what the American public will think of his finances. He said, "You're only afraid if you've got something to be afraid about. He's not afraid because of the IRS, he's afraid because of you."
Clinton then took the stage and spoke about a number of the same issues she covered during her convention speech last week. She pledged to improve both higher and early childhood education systems, build the middle class by increasing the minimum wage and adding more higher paying jobs, and she promised to invest in the country's infrastructure creating jobs in the process. "If we invest in infrastructure we're going to put millions of people to work, and we're going to lay the foundation for new jobs," she said. Clinton argued that rebuilding the nation's infrastructure and investing in alternative forms of energy will make the United States the clean energy superpower of the world. A video from the event is below.

Clinton, Kaine Wrap Up Bus Tour in Ohio
On Sunday, Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine wrapped up their jobs focused bus tour in Ohio. Although it was initially reported that Clinton would not appear in Cleveland, Clinton did make a stop in the city and spoke during Sunday services at Imani Temple Ministry. During her brief remarks, Clinton spoke about the promise of America and her plans to defend the American dream. A video of her address is below (I apologize for the poor audio).
Clinton and Kaine's final event of the bus tour was a rally in Columbus. Kaine and Clinton both continued to focus their remarks on her jobs plan and improvements to the infrastructure; however, Clinton did address comments made by Donald Trump about retired General John Allen and Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a Muslim American solder killed in 2004. Clinton said that she was disgusted by Trump's divisive language saying, "It's going to be up to all of us to repudiate the hatefulness, attacks on distinguished military leaders … or insulting the family of a fallen soldier, Captain Khan, an American Muslim who sacrificed his life to protect his unit and other soldiers." A video from the event is below.

Readout of the President's Call with Governor Rick Scott of Florida
Readout of the President's Call with Governor Rick Scott of Florida
The President spoke by phone today with Governor Rick Scott of Florida regarding the suspected case of mosquito transmission of Zika announced by the Florida Department of Health. This case would be the first documented Zika infection caused by a mosquito in the Continental United States. The President recognized Florida's strong record of responding aggressively to local outbreaks of mosquito-borne viruses like Zika, and offered Federal support and technical assistance for Florida's ongoing case investigation and mosquito control efforts. He acknowledged Florida's close coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC for Zika preparedness. The President also noted during the call that in addition to the $2 million that CDC has provided to Florida for Zika preparedness, CDC is anticipating it will award Florida $5.6 million in Zika funding through a CDC grant to be awarded this week.

MSNBC Panel On Melania Trump's Plagiarized Speech: "This Turns This Night Into A Catastrophe"
RACHEL MADDOW: We've had a remarkableturn of events.
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Something has happened, you might say.
MADDOW: This started on social media, people on Twitter first started circulating sort of eyebrow-raising claims about Melania Trump's speech this evening. That led us, because it started to pick up a lot of speed online, it led to us go dig up the archival material and check these claims. And it does appear that are some unusual similarities, some unusual, very tight parallels between Melania Trump's speech tonight and Michelle Obama's speech in a similar position in the 2008 Democratic nominating convention for her husband, Barack Obama.
WILLIAMS: We haveput together just the first rudimentaryvideo comparisons from tonight to '08. As with a lot of things on the appropriately named social media, this started with one person, kind of the butterfly effect. By the time most Americans wake up tomorrow morning, this will likely be a thing. Here now the most rudimentary edit of the passages being highlighted.
STEVE SCHMIDT: Really the highlight of tonight's speech -- the highlight of tonight's activities was Melania Trump's speech. This turns this night into a catastrophe. This is a plagiarized speech, hands down, game, set, match on that. What an outrageous disservice to Melania Trump by the speech writers on that campaign. Nicole Wallace talked earlier today about the fact that the Trump campaign such as it is is not configured like a normalpolitical campaign. And maybe you don't need to be configured like a normal campaign. We know tonight, as you watch the incongruity between the speeches, the lack of a theme, the lack of a connection, the day starting off with the targeting and attacking the Ohio governor, right through the end of the program. Hamilton on Broadway is a great show, a great production, no one leaves it early. Tonight, in the middle of a show, and be clear, this is a show, a lot of people left it early. This is not a good first night, and now you have brought scandal to a prospective First Lady in the form of her convention speech. Just an outrageous incompetence and disservice to her by that campaign.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: It's devastating and dumb, and here's my question, and it's open to everyone: There was a speech writer,someone did a draft with all these, as Lawrence pointed out perfectly, obviously lifted, the whole thing's lifted, all these chunks of words all in the same sequence, follow the same sequence with the same words. This is plagiarism, and the question is, the speech writer who drafted this knew where he or she got it, Lawrence, they knew they got it from Michelle Obama's speech in the same circumstance, and then they delivered it to their boss, to their client. Why would they do that? Why would they do it on purpose? Because this is purposeful. I know it sounds spooky to say sabotage, but it was so purposeful, you wonder what was the purpose except to sabotage? Because somebody was going to figure this out, and they did, and they got it into the news cycle. We're not even into the morning editions yet. And this is deadly. And I only say sabotage because it's so clear cut that the person who did this did this on purpose. That's what's so hard to figure out, guys.

Sunburn (cont.)
Sunburn Treatment
First aid treatment for sunburn includes over-the-counter pain relievers (for example, ibuprofen or naproxen, which are anti-inflammatory drugs), and sunburn gels or creams. If medical treatment is necessary, stronger pain medication, antibiotics, or silver sulfadiazine may be prescribed.
Sunburn Home Remedies
Home care begins prior to a sunburn. Prevention is the most important step to avoid short-term consequences of sun exposure (redness, pain, blistering) and the long-term risks for skin damage and skin cancer.
Immediate self-care is aimed at stopping the UV radiation.
Relief of the discomfort becomes important, and there are several sunburn remedies.

I was told I needed to send $3723. that was a 5% Mexican state tax, sent this moneyt to Laura Valentina Almazan Tinoco who was to receive this money through an account at Banamex in Mexico City. She was to then take the funds and pay to the state tax department in Mexico. Mexican govt has no record of her ever having paid these funds. Then I was requested to send another amount of $4,467 6% Federal Sales Tax.
When I confronted David Bishop over the telephone and expressed my concern that this was a scam he got highly offended and stated that he would let me away with a comment like that only one time, what a NERVE of this guy, who does he think he is playing with other peoples hard earned money and to get insulted when confronted.
When I tried to call him again to let him know that I had checked with the Mexican govt regarding the money I sent for the taxes he would not return my calls or answer my emails, another person called me back on his behalf and said that there was a family emergency and that he was unavailabe at that time, tried many times since but absoutely no response from anyone. All contact ceased after I refused to send the 2nd amount of money which was 4467.00.
End of story, money gone, scam, scam, scam. Moral of the story, if it sounds too good to be true, guess what? it's not.

Presbyterians seek unity — or amicable split — on gay clergy
In recent years, as Christian denominations voted to allow openly gay and lesbian clergy, hundreds of congregations have broken away to affiliate with more theologically conservative bodies. It is a painful process, fraught often with acrimony, recriminations and lawsuits over property.
But a Presbyterian congregation in Sheboygan County and the Presbytery of Milwaukee are trying to forge a new way.
In what appears to be a first for the Presbyterian Church USA, the denomination's 45 local congregations have been invited to take part in a prayerful and collaborative process aimed at negotiating a reconciliation or amicable divorce.
The First Presbyterian Church of Oostburg is the first congregation in southeastern Wisconsin to petition to leave the Presbyterian Church USA following a 2010 vote approving the ordination of openly gay and lesbian clergy in July 2011.
On Feb. 1, Milwaukee's Zeidler Center for Public Discussion will mediate a church-wide conversation over that request in a process that will focus not just on money and property, but mission and what it means to be part of a faith community.
"We don't have an end game; that's the whole idea," said the Rev. Craig Howard, executive presbyter of the 11-county Presbytery of Milwaukee.
Oostburg's pastor, the Rev. Brian Jacobson, said he feels a sense of hopefulness about the process.
"It feels like a genuine attempt — in Christian language — to make room for the spirit," Jacobson said. "It feels to me like this could be a way forward that would honor both sides."
First Presbyterian is seeking to affiliate with ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians, a theologically conservative denomination that formed after the 2011 vote.
Since then, about 260 congregations have left the 2.8 million-member Presbyterian Church USA, said the Rev. Gradye Parsons, who serves as the stated clerk of the church's general assembly in Louisville. Similar schisms have erupted in the Episcopal Church and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Locally, the conflict appears to have been brewing for some time, causing disappointment and distrust on all sides.
First Presbyterian of Oostburg is a thriving congregation in a conservative pocket of a primarily progressive presbytery. With 260 members, First Presbyterian draws about 200 on Sunday, far higher than the 50% attendance for most Presbyterian churches.
"The thing I really like about this church is their fervor about evangelizing," Howard said. "This church is really about witnessing for Jesus Christ. I can see it with Brian's leadership doing great things in the community."
But Jacobson's members no longer feel part of the Presbyterian USA. The ordination vote, he said, was just one symptom of the broader issues it has with the denomination over questions of theology and the authority of scripture.
"We believe that the PCUSA has kind of left the moorings of the historical orthodox Christian faith," Jacobson said. "I would characterize what happened in July 2011 as the straw that broke the camel's back for us."
In return for permission to leave, the Oostburg congregation offered a $100,000 "gift" to the presbytery that would be used for ministry in keeping with the conscience of the congregation. In return, it would keep the church property, valued at about $750,000.
A church committee formed to study the Oostburg request has raised concerns about releasing the congregation to a denomination it considers not yet stable.
In the end, the Presbytery doesn't want Oostburg to leave, Howard said, suggesting the inclusion of dissonant voices helps the broader church in its discernment.
"The challenge is how do we honor them as a church of Jesus Christ and at the same time honor the commitment to the PCUSA, which means there's a financial piece there," Howard said.

I'm not sure why this support thread was closed: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/eshop-cart-widget-not-automatically-updating?replies=21
I had the same problem today after upgrading wordpress from version 3.6 to 3.6.1 and eShop from 6.3.10 to 6.3.11.
@vincesta - you're solution worked for me.
Go to wp-content/uploads/eshop_files
You will find a file called eshop-cart.js
In this file replace all occurances of insertAfter() with after()
@esmi - There's a good chance that there's a plugin conflict going on, but with several people having the same problem, if simply changing the insertAfter to after fixes the problem rather than track down what plugin we might all have in common - isn't it worth looking into?

Windfall Theatre cast gets a bit lost in 'Petrified Forest'
In the late 1930s, Robert E. Sherwood owned the American stage, winning Pulitzer Prizes for three plays. Opening on Broadway in 1935, and featuring an actor named Humphrey Bogart, "The Petrified Forest" isn't among them. But it's the Sherwood play that's best remembered today, thanks to Bogart's ensuing appearance in the 1936 film with Leslie Howard and Bette Davis.
Windfall Theatre artistic director Carol Zippel is convinced Sherwood's "Forest" can still take root, and she's stating her case in a Windfall production that opened Friday night under her direction. »Read Full Article

On Secular Fundamentalism
Posted on Apr 7, 2008
By Chris Hedges
(Page 2)
We have nothing to fear from those who do or do not believe in God. We have much to fear from those who do not believe in sin. The concept of sin is a stark acknowledgement that we can never be omnipotent, that we are bound and limited by human flaws and self-interest. The concept of sin is a check on the utopian dreams of a perfect world. It prevents us from believing in our own perfectibility or the illusion that the human species makes moral advances along with the material advances in science and technology. To turn away from God is harmless. Saints have been trying to do it for centuries. To turn away from sin is catastrophic. Religious fundamentalists, who believe they know and can carry out the will of God, disregard their severe human limitations. They act as if they are free from sin. The secular utopians from Richard Dawkins to Sam Harris to Daniel Dennett to Christopher Hitchens have also forgotten they are human. Both they and religious fundamentalists peddle absolutes. Those who do not see as they see, speak as they speak and act as they act are worthy only of conversion or eradication.
The belief that human nature can be improved and perfected, that we are moving throughout history toward a glorious culmination, is malformed theology. It permits wild, eschatological visions to be built under religious or secular banners. It is this belief that is dangerous. And it colors the thought of the new crop of atheist writers. They will tell us what is right and wrong, not in the eyes of God, but according to the purity of the rational mind. They too seek to destroy those who do not conform to their vision. They too wrap their intolerance in Enlightenment virtues.
"Some propositions are so dangerous that it may even be ethical to kill people for believing them," Sam Harris writes. "This may seem an extraordinary claim, but it merely enunciates an ordinary fact about the world in which we live. Certain beliefs place their adherents beyond the reach of every peaceful means of persuasion, while inspiring them to commit acts of extraordinary violence against others. There is, in fact, no talking to some people. If they cannot be captured, and they often cannot, otherwise tolerant people may be justified in killing them in self-defense. This is what the United States attempted in Afghanistan, and it is what we and other Western powers are bound to attempt, at an even greater cost to ourselves and to innocents abroad, elsewhere in the Muslim world. We will continue to spill blood in what is, at bottom, a war of ideas."
Any form of knowledge that claims to be absolute ceases to be knowledge. It is a form of faith. Harris and the other atheist authors mistake a tiny subset of criminals and terrorists for 1 billion Muslims. They justify the unjustifiable in the name of civilization. The passions of these atheists, hidden under the jargon of reason and science, are as bankrupt as the passions of Christian and Islamic fundamentalists who sanctify mass slaughter in the name of their utopia. Religious fundamentalists pervert and distort religion to serve their own fears and self-aggrandizement. Atheists do the same with science and reason. These two groups peddle the myth that we can conquer human nature, overcome our imperfections and build the perfect society.
Square, Site wide
These atheists and Christian radicals have built squalid little belief systems that are in the service of themselves and their own power. They urge us forward into a nonreality-based world, one where force and violence, where self-exaltation and blind nationalism, are an unquestioned good. They seek to make us afraid of what we do not know or understand. They use this fear to justify cruelty and war. They ask us to kneel before little idols that look and act like them, telling us that one day, if we trust enough in God or reason, we will have everything we desire.
We must accept the severe limitations of being human. We must face reality, a reality which in the coming decades is going to be bleak and difficult. Those who are blinded by utopian visions inevitably turn to force to make their impossible dreams and their noble ideals real. They believe that the ends, no matter how barbaric, justify the means. Utopian ideologues, armed with the technology and mechanisms of industrial slaughter, have killed tens of millions of people over the last century. They ask us to inflict suffering and death in the name of virtue and truth. The atheists, in the end, offer us a new version of an old and dangerous faith. It is one we have seen before. It is one we must fight.

Barter, cash deals give way to banks
July 8, 2004
Team ET , TNN
Barter and cash deals are slowly giving way to transactions through organised banking channels. This reflected in a decline in the income velocity of money. Simply put, income velocity of money is the ratio of nominal GDP to the average stock of money (M3) in a year. A drop in the ratio implies greater monetary transactions through the banking system and lesser through unorganised channels. According to the Survey, income velocity of money declined from 1.61 in 2001-02 to 1.50 in...

Milan Sangani , TNN
What is money and why do you need it? Everyone uses money. We all want it, work for it, and think about it. On the one hand, if you don't know what money is, you are not like most humans. On the other hand, defining money, its source, and its value are the endeavors of the discipline of Economics. Let's take a look at the multifaceted characteristics of money, which, while its creation and growth is somewhat intangible, is the means by which we get the things we need and want.

Centre's barter talks on Indian sugar gather little interest

Madhvi Sally , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: The Centre has not been able to garner much interest from foreign countries on barter trade of commodities in lieu of Indian sugar.

Duty-free California almonds entering via barter trade route at LoC hurt local importers

The root of all evil is horrifying
September 18, 2007
Mukul Sharma , TNN
Intelligent people ? those who are in the know ? often correct us when we say that money is the root of all evil. They tell us instead that in the New Testament, 1 Timothy 6:10, Paul actually wrote: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. " In other words it's the love of money that's under condemnation in the passage, and not money itself. Apparently, the difference is not trivial because the "love" of money refers to an intellectual or psychological factor not indicated...

CHENNAI: It almost seems anachronistic when a mobile phone is used to barter goods, but a couple of tech-savvy entrepreneurs are hoping that their app will promote the concept and help it catch on big time. The two entrepreneurs, Alap Shah and Arjav Dave , cofounded RoyaleCheese — a provider of environmentally-friendly technology solutions — along with Niral Desai in 2012.

The server Westeros.org is hosted on will be down for several hours this evening (American EST) for a hardware upgrade. It should be back up once the upgrade is completed.
The Artwork section has been updated with a new artist, Andrew Kurz, who has contributed some very strong, stark black-and-white images drawn from the series with a diverse range of subjects from people to places and on to specific events.
A long overdue update has been made to our reviews of the "Dunk & Egg " stories; the review of "The Hedge Knight" has been significantly expanded upon, and "The Sworn Sword" has finally had a review added. Read them at The Citadel (or under All Sorts of Weird Stuff).
As an aside, we'd like to mention that we'll also be working on adding more non-GRRM reviews, but that from now on, only a few select ones will be displayed in the Books section of The Citadel at any given time. The full collection will instead be found at our new, personal site, Hippoi Athanatoi, predictably enough in the Reviews section.
At last, two lengthy reports on ASoIaF-elevant information gained at Worldcon added to the So Spake Martin collection, in the Reports section. For those who were present, if there are any errors or omissions, please do make a note of it.
The Concordance has now been updated through "The Sworn Sword", in preparation for the upcoming release of A Feast for Crows.
One or two further update remains, bringing the Concordance up through the latest So Spake Martin entries and possibly pulling in new information revealed in the Game of Thrones RPG.
At the WorldCon in Glasgow, the Brotherhood without Banners presented us with the first-ever Raven Award, for significant contributions to GRRM-fandom. We were both very thrilled and honoured to be selected as the recipients of this award, and it will undoubtedly spur us to work even harder on the site.
We already said it over at our personal site, but it bears repeating here as well: thank you, everyone! The Brotherhood without Banners is a truly great group of fans.
Just in time for the upcoming WorldCon, we have launched our Calendar covering events of interest to fans of A Song of Ice and Fire and George R.R. Martin, such as appearances and release dates. At the moment, it contains an entry for each day of the WorldCon (with listings of the panels and events that fans might want to catch), as well as the UK and US release dates for A Feast for Crows.
Some more reports (from Conestoga) and emails have been added to the So Spake Martin collection.
We'll be off on vacation from June 18 to July 1, most likely without any Internet access at all. So, no updates for the next two weeks, and if you need to contact us, we won't be able to respond until we're back.
A couple of reports from the Book Expo in New York have been added to the So Spake Martin section. They include information from Parris, GRRM's SO, on publication dates and writing plans.
The newest addition to Westeros, All Sorts of Weird Stuff, has now been officially launched. Here you will find information about GRRM and A Song of Ice and Fire that isn't theme- or story-related. In particular, we will attempt to bring fans all news of relevance to the series or any of Mr. Martin's other writings. We will also collect our reviews of GRRM's books and stories in this section, and provide information about the various licenses related to his works, such as the CCG, the RPG and the miniatures.
At the moment, the News section is the only one that has been completed, but over the next weeks we hope to have time to add content to some of the other sections too.
Once again, we have changed the software we use for managing our news, but we're hopeful that Expression Engine will be something that we will stick with for a very long while. We're also hoping that it will allow us to introduce some new features to the site, to the benefit of us as well as our visitors.
If you are a regular visitor to Westeros, you will notice that the news & updates are now being handled differently. From now on, the Westeros: Updates journal (this one, that is) will contain only updates relating to the site itself, divided up into categories that correspond to the sections of the site. Any news relating to George R.R. Martin or A Song of Ice and Fire will be found in the All Sorts of Weird Stuff: News journal, found within the new section that we are in the process of launching. We have also moved announcements dealing with game news (as opposed to news about the game's website) to the Blood of Dragons: Announcements journal.
However, for those who prefer to have all the news in one place, we have also put up a Westeros: Digest journal, complete with matching RSS feeds, that incorporates all the news from the aforementioned journals. As always, we're very interested in hearing about any problems you may be experiencing as a result of these changes. If, for example, you have linked to the old news & updates archives, or made use of the old RSS feeds, you will want to make sure to update these links as those pages will be removed shortly.
A report from To Be Continued IV in Chicago were GRRM is the Guest of Honour has been added to the So Spake Martin section, and more will likely follow in a day or two.
According to GRRM he has about 100 manuscript pages left to write of AFfC, and he expects that the publishers will rush the book out as quickly as possible once its all handed in. He also noted that he has some chapters done of the next book, and half of the next Dunk & Egg story.
As our visitors may have noticed, the layout of Westeros has changed somewhat recently. This is part of a larger project to partially redesign all of the sections and to move some content around as we add a new section. Hopefully, this transition will be as smooth as possible, but in the coming weeks it is possible that you will encounter various errors (missing pages, layout issues, etc) as we go through each step of the process.
If you come across any errors that don't go away if you reload the page a moment or two later, feel free to drop us a line about it, as it will help us get them fixed more quickly. If the issue is layout related, please include a mention of which browser and operating system you are using. As the new designs we are introducing will be purely CSS based, we are expecting issues with older browsers, but we're not quite sure which it is that can't handle it. However, it should work fine in IE 6 and any of the recent Mozilla-based browsers.
Another Boskone report has been added to the So Spake Martin section.

A Fundamental Problem
Published: July 14, 1996
(Page 3 of 10)
It sounds like something Pat Robertson might say -- and the affection of the televangelist and Christian Coalition chairman gave Bob Dole another hidden asset. The two had grown fond of each other during their unsuccessful Presidential races in 1988. An unlikely match on the surface, the legislator and the preacher have a few things in common, including a generational bond (Dole is only seven years older); the Senate (where Robertson's father also served); law school, and military service.
Though Robertson shuns interview requests (especially when they concern his conspiracy theories about Jewish bankers), I found him one evening at a banquet table honoring Billy Graham. Effusive in his praise of Dole, he launched into a story about a 1988 Presidential debate. With Democrats and Republicans all set to quiz one another, Dole sent an emissary to Robertson's room to warn him of the questions he planned to ask. "He wanted our guys -- namely, the Republican candidates -- to look good," Robertson said. "I just liked him. Bob is a straight-shooting, honest, honorable man." As for Dole's wife, "She's deeply loved by people; she's a dear friend of mine. I think the world of her and I'd love to see her in the White House."
As the 1996 race took shape, Dole got a lift from the abstention of rivals with more obvious appeal to Christian conservatives, including Dan Quayle, William Bennett and Jack Kemp. Then he waged an effective campaign to keep the candidate he considered most threatening, Senator Phil Gramm of Texas, from outflanking him on the right.
In part, he did it with hires. Beefing up his staff with movement types, Dole brought a crusading conservative lawyer named Kyle McSlarrow into his Senate office to keep an eye on legislative business and he brought Steve Scheffler and Judy Haynes into his campaign, giving him the services of two top Christian Coalition organizers.
In part he did it with bills. Dole beat Gramm to the punch with proposals to curb affirmative action, rein in Government regulation and bolster private-property rights. And in part he did it with the inherent power of his post as Senate majority leader. When Clinton nominated Dr. Henry Foster as Surgeon General, Dole had another obstetrician to attack; he denied Foster a confirmation vote, citing his conflicting statements about the number of abortions he had performed.
As he tightened his ties to the Christian right, Dole got considerable lift from Gramm's own missteps, most famously his disastrous meeting with James Dobson, the Colorado Springs psychologist and religious broadcaster. Though little known to the general public, Dobson is the Sam Walton of the family values movement, a distributor with unparalleled reach. His daily broadcasts attract more than three million listeners on 1,500 radio stations, and his organization, Focus on the Family, has a mailing list of 2.2 million. In April 1995, he flew to Washington to hear out Gramm.
The meeting was sufficiently important that Ralph Reed, seeking to be useful, stopped in beforehand to warn Gramm that Dobson would want moral reassurances. Instead, Gramm burst in late and proclaimed, "I ain't running for preacher, that's your job." Incensed, Dobson spread the word. Gramm grew so desperate to regain his squandered credibility that a few months later he began mass mailings to announce his anticipation of the Second Coming. "And when He comes back, He won't need government to impose His values," he wrote.
Dole found a better way of courting the religious right: he blasted the morals of Hollywood. The timing couldn't have been more fortuitous. Just as Gramm was self-destructing, Dole was denouncing the "mindless violence and loveless sex" glorified by the entertainment industry. Though Dole himself nearly balked at giving it (as Bob Woodward reports in "The Choice"), the May 1995 speech brought him greater accolades than his campaign had dared imagine. Its glory is that it worked on two levels. Without ever mentioning God or church, Dole found an intimate connection to conservative Christians. But he also found enough secular resonance to land on the "CBS Evening News."
The speech came long before Buchanan's insurgency caught fire and before Reed went quietly scrambling for a fire hose for Dole. But to this day, the Dole campaign regards the speech as both a highlight of the past and a model for the future. It remains in continual search of Hollywood sequels -- double-coded messages that rouse the faithful while also assembling the larger coalition Dole needs. "The foundation of Bob Dole's victory as the Republican nominee was made in the Hollywood speech," Reed says. "That was where he made an explicit and eloquent appeal to religious conservatives, based on a moral issue."
A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE NEW HAMPshire primary, Elizabeth Dole battled a blizzard to reach a Christian Coalition rally in Manchester. But she might just as profitably have stayed home. As she labored through her speech with a cheerleader smile, the boredom in the room was palpable. This was Buchanan country, and Buchanan himself had just roused the crowd with a defiant defense of his Houston speech. "There is a cultural war!" he bellowed to chants of "Go, Pat, Go!"
