The Economic Lessons of Star Trek's Money-Free Society - "[Manu Saadia] points to technologies like GPS and the internet as models for how we can set ourselves on the path to a Star Trek future.

Equality by Edward Bellamy
Equality [internet archive] was first published in 1897: "The story takes up immediately after the events of Looking Backward with the main characters from the first novel, Julian West, Doctor Leete, and his daughter Edith. West tells his nightmare of return to the 19th century to Edith, who is sympathetic. West's citizenship in the new America is recognized, and he goes to the bank to obtain his own account, or 'credit card', from which he can draw his equal share of the national product...

Psycho-Pass is a fantastic anime written by Gen Urobuchi, the man who brought us 2011's brilliant Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Even if you are not an anime fan (I'm iffy on it myself), Psycho-Pass is worth checking out. Set in a "utopian" society where psychological profiles can be analyzed remotely, police carry guns that can only fire at would-be criminals, and aptitude tests determine how to provide "the greatest number of people with the greatest amount of happiness", Psycho-Pass asks intriguing, provocative questions about the relationships between humans and computers, criminals and society, and the responsibilities we owe society, versus the responsibilities said societies owe us in turn. There is also a good deal of people shooting each other, if you're into that sort of thing.
Psycho-Pass can be watched for free, either subbed or dubbed, at Hulu (as can Madoka if "lighthearted" "fantasy" is more your cup of tea).

Fruitlands was a Utopian agrarian commune established in Harvard, Massachusetts by Amos Bronson Alcott and Charles Lane in the 1840s, based on Transcendentalist principles. An account of its less-than-successful activities can be found in Alcott's daughter Louisa May Alcott's Transcendental Wild Oats.
Vertical Farms
By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth's population will reside in urban centers. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% more land than is represented by the country of Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming practices continue as they are practiced today. A Potential Solution: farm vertically.
"Utopian Architecture"
"Utopian Architecture" is where it's at. Unfortunately, despite how many people seem to be interested in it, there's very little documentation concerning the subject. The only books I can think of are Yesterday's Tomorrow (1984, MIT Press), Metropolis of Tomorrow by Hugo Ferriss and Impossible Worlds by Stephen Coates, and I don't know of any website on the subject.

The Philadelphia area's newest program for performing artists exploring ideas is nowhere near a traditional theater. It's on 43 acres of what seems like stage-set countryside - ponds, rolling grounds, mansions - but is really just off busy Old York Road in Cheltenham's Elkins Park neighborhood.
The site for the program, called White Pines Productions, is Elkins Estate, a century ago the majestic holding of William Lukens Elkins, a trolley magnate and philanthropist whose family gave its name to the larger neighborhood. After his fortunes declined, the estate for 75 years housed an order of Dominican nuns, who added on to buildings so they could also open a dormitory-like retirement home.

Patty Hearst, the SLA, and the Rimshots
On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, the 19-year-old daughter of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped from her apartment in Berkeley, California, by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). One of the unforeseen repercussions: a pretty nice soundtrack on Stang.
The Berkeley-based radical group used showy, violent media stunts to gain public attention and support their cause to eliminate class and race based oppression, i.e. kidnapping a millionaire's daughter. The SLA originally took Patty Hearst to force her father to redistribute his wealth to the community, but soon she became a loyal member of the "army" and was eventually arrested in 1975.
A 1976 biopic, Patty, was released without much response (not to be confused with the more popular 1988 film Patty Hearst directed by Paul Schrader), and, unfortunately, the original blaxploitation soundtrack was also neglected. Released in 1976 on Stang Records, the soundtrack features a dope lineup of Stang artists the Moments, the Rimshots, Retta Young, and Chuck Jackson.
Below, hear the ultra funky jam "Do What You Feel" by the Rimshots, originally from the Patty soundtrack and rereleased in two parts on their own 1976 album Down to Earth.

Unbeaten UCLA moved into the third round of the NCAA Division I Women's Tournament with a tense 1-0 victory over San Diego in a match postponed until Monday because of poor air quality caused by the Southern California fires. The win set up a date with cross-town rival USC Saturday in Westwood in a rematch of last year's Women's College Cup semifinal the Women of Troy won.
The only goal scored came on an own goal in the 78th minute when a cross from Bruin forward Kara Lang was mis-hit by a USC defender and the ball slipped past goalkeeper Brittany Cameron.
"This is the NCAA Tournament and nothing is going to be easy and nothing is going to be handed to you," said UCLA coach Jillian Ellis. "To be able to win and not play as well as we can play -- we have to take that as a positive. Good teams find a way to win. San Diego certainly didn't make it easy for us."

South Florida Ecosystem:
Some Restoration Progress Has Been Made, but the Effort Faces Significant Delays, Implementation Challenges, and Rising Costs
GAO-07-1250T: Published: Sep 19, 2007. Publicly Released: Sep 19, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-4800
The South Florida ecosystem covers about 18,000 square miles, and is home to the Everglades, one of the world's unique environmental resources. Historic efforts to redirect the flow of water through the ecosystem have jeopardized its health and reduced the Everglades to about half of its original size. In 1993, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization's World Heritage Committee (WHC) added Everglades National Park (Park) to its List of World Heritage in Danger sites. In 2000, a strategy to restore the ecosystem was set; the effort was expected to take at least 40 years and cost $15.4 billion. It comprises 222 projects, including 60 key projects known as the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), to be undertaken by a multiagency partnership. This testimony is based on GAO's May 2007 report, South Florida Ecosystem: Restoration Is Moving Forward, but Is Facing Significant Delays, Implementation Challenges, and Rising Costs, and a review of WHC decision documents relating to the Park's listing. This statement addresses the (1) status of projects implemented (2) status of projects key to improving the health of the Park, (3) project sequencing factors, and (4) funding provided for the effort and extent to which costs have increased.
Of the restoration effort's 222 projects, 43 have been completed, 107 are being implemented, and 72 are in design, in planning, or are not yet started. The completed and ongoing projects will provide improved water quality and water flow within the ecosystem and additional habitat for wildlife. According to restoration officials, significant progress has been made in acquiring land, constructing water quality projects, and restoring a natural water flow to the Kissimmee River--the headwater of the ecosystem. Many of the policies, strategies, and agreements required to guide the restoration in the future are also now in place. However, the 60 CERP projects, which are the most critical to the restoration's overall success, are among those that are currently being designed, planned, or have not yet started. Some of these projects are behind schedule by up to 6 years. Florida recently began expediting the design and construction of eight key projects, with the hope that they would immediately benefit the environment, enhance flood control, and increase water supply, thus providing further momentum to the restoration. In 2006, the WHC adopted several key benchmarks that if met would facilitate removal of the Everglades National Park from its List of World Heritage in Danger sites. As noted by WHC, achievement of these benchmarks was linked to the implementation of nine key restoration projects. However, only one of these projects has been completed, four are currently being implemented and four are currently being designed. Moreover, the benefits of these projects will not be available for many years because most of the projects are scheduled for completion between 2011 and 2035. There are no overarching sequencing criteria that restoration officials use when making implementation decisions for all 222 projects that make up the restoration effort. Instead, decisions for 162 projects are driven largely by the availability of funds. There are regulatory criteria to ensure that the goals and purposes of the 60 CERP projects are achieved in a cost effective manner. However, the 2005 sequencing plan developed for these projects is not consistent with the criteria because some of the data needed to fully apply these criteria were not available. Therefore, there is little assurance that the plan will be effective. GAO recommended that the agencies obtain the needed data and then comprehensively reassess the sequencing ofthe CERP projects. From fiscal years 1999 through 2006, the federal government contributed $2.3 billion and Florida contributed $4.8 billion, for a total of about $7.1 billion for the restoration. However, federal funding was about $1.4 billion short of the funds originally projected for this period. In addition, the total estimated costs for the restoration have increased by 28 percent--from $15.4 billion in 2000 to $19.7 billion in 2006 because of project scope changes, increased construction costs, and higher land costs. More importantly, these cost estimates do not represent the true costs for the overall restoration effort because they do not include all cost components for a number of projects.

Essex recruit nine for academy
Essex have confirmed they have invited a group of nine players to attend the county's Graham Gooch Essex Cricket Academy in 2007/08.
Harry Beddows, 15, is the only new recruit among the collection of players whose ages range from 15 to 17.
Beddows, a wicketkeeper-batsman, has been awarded a one-year academy contract along with Michael Comber, Joanne Cook, Dominic Hurst, Alan Ison and Aaron West.
Meanwhile, 15-year-old leg-spinning all-rounder Rishabh Shah has been given a two-year academy contract.
17-year-olds Jaik Mickleburgh and Adam Wheater – both of whom made their first-team debuts in this year's Twenty20 Floodlit Cup – have been handed two-year academy professional contracts.
Mickleburgh became the 10th player to represent the Essex first-team after being part of the academy set-up following on from the likes of Alastair Cook, Varun Chopra and Tony Palladino.
The forthcoming period represents the first in which Essex batting coach and club ambassador Graham Gooch will be providing funds of £30,000 a year to support the renamed academy.
Academy director John Childs said: "From the 2006/07 Academy, Tom Westley, Mervyn Westfield and Maurice Chambers are all now on full professional contracts.
"Theeban Tavarasa has finished with the academy but will continue to be involved with the development and second eleven sides in 2008.
"Finally, after four years on the academy, Chris Prowting has been not been retained in order that he can seek out further opportunities with other counties."

'I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal'
The almost unbearably moving story of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, I Have Never Forgotten You takes us from his shtetl childhood to his 90th birthday party at Vienna's Hotel Imperial, where Hitler once kept a suite. ("Now he is dead," Wiesenthal tells the camera joy-fully, "and we are still dancing and singing.") In between, director Richard Trank (The Long Way Home) gives us a spare, unblinking portrayal of the Holocaust, in which Wiesenthal lost his mother and 88 other relatives; after- ward, feeling purposeless, he devoted the rest of his days to nosing out Nazis across the globe, from Eichmann in Argentina to Hermine Braun-steiner in Queens. Wiesenthal's motive, he always insisted, was not revenge but justice. Celebrity narration (by Nicole Kidman) and deft filmmaking necessarily take a backseat here to the anger, grief, and incongruous good humor of the man himself.

"Naturally theres a strong Garda presence .. they are stealing OUR natural resources .. and the priority of the guards is to protect criminal filth like them."
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum over whether corporations can be sued for human rights violations overseas. The plaintiffs filed suit in the United States under the Alien Tort Statute, a law enacted by Congress in 1789, that empowers the federal courts to hear cases by foreigners bringing a civil suit for wrongs committed "in violation of the law of nations."
Should the Alien Tort Statute hold corporations liable for heinous crimes? Is there a more effective way to do this?

When people think about the historic McLeod Plantation on James Island, the sprawling main house or striking row of former slave quarters usually come to mind.
But the 37-acre site also has waterfront access on the Wappoo Creek, across Country Club Drive from the main plantation site.
The Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission, which owns the site, soon will make improvements to the waterfront, including building an open-air pavilion, which it will rent to the public, an observation deck, a parking lot and walking paths. It will do that, in part, with a $250,000 grant from the state Department of Health and Environmental Control.
The PRC was one of several local groups that received DHEC grants to enhance coastal access. Other groups in the Charleston area are Charleston County, the towns of Mount Pleasant and Sullivans Island, and the city of Folly Beach. Each group must come up with a 100 percent financial match from other sources.
Cynthia Montague, the PRCs assistant director of capital projects, said the grant would enable the commission to give the public access to the water. The public has no access to the property now, except for some scheduled tours, but it will in the future, she said. We may not have been able to spend money on this in the first phase, she said.
The commission is developing a master plan for the entire McLeod property, which should be completed in the next few months, Montague said.
Penny Westerfelhaus, who manages the DHEC grant, said the PRC likely will match that grant with other grant funds. But if it cant land enough grant money, the commission will contribute to the match.
The PRC purchased McLeod from the Historic Charleston Foundation in 2010. It has since been working to stabilize the propertys fragile structures and to prepare the site for public use.
McLeod has a diverse history, which includes turns as a working cotton plantation, a wartime hospital, a freedmans bureau and a more contemporary farm.
When the waterfront improvements are complete, Montague said, the view from the main house down to the water will be much like it was when McLeod was a working plantation.
Other local groups also plan to improve coastal access with assistance from DHEC grants.
Charleston County still is waiting to learn how much it will be awarded to improve creek access along S.C. Highway 174 on the road to Edisto Beach, said project manager Molli LeMin. But the county tentatively plans to build a landing pad for canoes and kayaks, a pier for fishing and crabbing, and to improve parking.
The town of Mount Pleasant landed a $9,500 grant to cover half the cost of creating and placing 10 interpretive rail signs along the water in Shem Creek Park, said Kevin Mitchell an engineer for the town. The town already has the match money, he said.
The signs will highlight the history of the creek and the shrimping industry, and the ecology of the coastal environment. The grant made it possible to increase the numbers of signs by 100 percent, Mitchell said.
The town of Sullivans Island landed a $30,000 grant to build and extend boardwalks, said administrator Andy Benke. It is working on finding matching funds. Sand is building up on the island, Benke said. The islands current boardwalks were built 20 to 30 years ago and can, in places, be 200 feet from the beach, he said.
The city of Folly Beach received $29,000 to renovate East Ashley public restrooms and showers, and to make them more accessible to the handicapped, said administrator Toni Connor-Rooks. The city already has matching funds set aside.

Lesions that persist or won't heal should be biopsied. Corns, calluses and warts are common skin issues podiatrists see. These issues often cause people discomfort that leads them to seek relief.
Patients with symptomatic corns and calluses can usually be offered relief fairly easily. Debridement, offloading padding or sleeves, inserts and shoe changes or modifications generally are all that is needed to provide relief for a patient's complaints.
Warts are a much more difficult proposition in my experience. Warts almost always need forms of topical medication, injection, and surgical measures in addition to the treatments for corns and calluses to provide relief.
Ulceration is another common lesion a podiatrist sees. Causes of ulceration include, but are not limited to, insect bite, chemical or thermal burn, venous insufficiency, edema, peripheral artery disease, diabetic complications, infection, immunosuppression and neuropathy, to name a few.
Podiatrists, nurses, wound care specialists, surgeons and dermatologists have training and experience that allows them to more precisely diagnose lesions and wounds, their cause, and the most appropriate treatment by obtaining a history of the problem, the patient's current health issues and examining the wound and any testing that was performed.
I can very easily differentiate a wart from a callus or corn, as I have 18 years of experience in dealing with these issues. I can very easily determine venous stasis ulceration just by the appearance of the wound.
There are times, however, it is not that simple.
There are times when I tell a patient, "I don't know. I've never seen that before." This can apply to the visual or palpable appearance of an issue or lesion, or the way a problem resists therapy that should provide benefit.
Wounds that do not heal in a reasonable fashion that should with the prescribed treatment, or those that appear different or act differently than one would expect should be biopsied.
A biopsy of tissue usually can be performed in the office setting and only require a small amount of local anesthesia. A small 3-mm to 4-mm punch is used to obtain a full-thickness sample of the lesion or wound for the pathologist to study. The wound is often just cauterized and infrequently requires a suture.
This is the definitive method of diagnosis. The diagnosis is confirmed by the biopsy and the patient and physician will know the cause and best method of treatment.
Squamous cell carcinoma occurs on the foot and leg and can be fatal if untreated and metastasis occurs. Squamous cell can masquerade as a wart or scab that "won't seem to heal."
Malignant melanoma can masquerade as an ingrown toenail. Biopsy can lead to a definitive diagnosis for the cause of lesions and wounds. Proper diagnosis will speed treatment and lead to a better chance of successful, satisfactory outcomes.
Proper diagnosis can help minimize morbidity, expense and complications. Consider a simple biopsy if a wound or lesion persists or is not responding to treatment as you or your physician expects.

This review is from: Acer S231HLbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI LED-Backlight LCD monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 ACM 12,000,000:1 (1000:1)
Pros: Great color out of box, pretty slim but stable base.
Cons: Monitor takes a little longer to turn on than I'm used to, nothing too annoying, especially if you never turn off your monitor.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: CM Storm QuickFire Rapid - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with CHERRY MX Blue Switches
Pros: -High quality mechanical keys
-Substantial weight
-Has no number pad
Cons: -Has no number pad
Other Thoughts: This is my first mechanical keyboard. I've had it for about 6 months and I absolutely love it. The keyboard is heavy and feels substantial so it doesn't slide around when you use it. I'm a programmer and Cherry Blue switches are amazing for typing other than when they wake up my wife..
I list the lack of a number pad as a positive and negative because I love it and hate it at the same time. It's actually very convenient to have that extra space when gaming and I don't notice its absence when I'm doing most work. However I recently switched from 3ds max to blender and the lack of a number pad is fairly crippling.
For most purposes though, this is a great deal on a great keyboard. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of buying their first mechanical keyboard.
This review is from: Logitech G500 Black Chrome 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse
Pros: On the fly adjustable DPI
Adjustable weights
Works well without a mouse pad
Included Logitech Setpoint software is robust
Cons: Braided cord is nice but sometimes gets caught on the edge of the desk
The skin makes the mouse look a little dirty/used
Other Thoughts: This is my first quality mouse and I have to say it's totally worth the price. Getting used to higher DPI took about a day of use. The software included with this mouse is very easy to use and allows a lot of customization. I guess the real theme of this mouse is the ability to make it as good or bad for you as you want.
Functionally I love everything about this mouse and my only concerns are on the cosmetic side. The braided cord is nice, but on my cheap walmart desk it will occasionally snag on the back edge, usually only with very long mouse motions. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the "smudged" look on the mouse skin. It makes it look like I've owned it for a year when I haven't.
Overall I would definitely recommend this mouse to anyone looking to upgrade from a standard cheap mouse especially if you can find it on sale.

Inside the former Collingswood Theatre, Tom Marchetty and Josh Longsdorf talk about assembling the cast of their new production.
"We've got a photographer, a printmaker, a guy who makes portable power systems, and a woman who's got her own clothing line," Marchetty says.
"We're looking for innovators," Longsdorf adds. "People who are passionate about what they do."
The 1,200-seat Haddon Avenue movie house, which was renovated decades ago for other commercial uses, reopened in January as the Factory Workers ("the Factory" for short). Marchetty bought the building, and he and Longsdorf are partners in the business ( www.thefactoryworkers.com).
They rent "coworker" space to start-up firms and artisans, and plan to offer "makers' space" memberships to people who need to use (or want to learn to use) woodworking or metal-fabrication equipment.

Don't Be A Monster is a bullying prevention program founded by haunted house owners. Working with major haunted houses throughout the US, Don't Be A Monster delivers free programs to middle and high school students. Their mission is to empower youth to be leaders around diversity and inclusiveness, to show them how they can build caring communities, and to stand up for their friends and peers. For more information, reach out to them at firstname.lastname@example.com or check out their website dontbeamonster.org
Extra Life began in 2008 as a way of honoring a young lady named Victoria Enmon. Tori's battle against acute lymphoblastic leukemia inspired the Sarcastic Gamer Community in a way that is difficult to describe. Members sent in video games and bought gifts to keep Tori's spirits up despite numerous hospital stays and three bouts with the deadly disease.
Tragically, we lost Tori to cancer in January 2008. Later that year, I asked my partners at Sarcastic Gamer if they would be interested in Extra Life, a 24-hour video game marathon to raise money for the hospital that treated and fought beside Tori. In 2008 and 2009 Extra Life raised a combined $302,000, 100 percent of which went directly to help kids like Tori at my local Children's Miracle Network Hospital (Texas Children's Hospital).
While thousands of gamers, more than 100 websites and more than 12,000 donors were happy to support Extra Life, many expressed their desire to raise money to help kids closer to home. In what I can only consider destiny, in 2009 I left behind my radio career and went to work full-time for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals as a Radiothon Director. This life-changing event gave me unique insight into an incredible non-profit organization that helps kids all over the United States and Canada.
I quickly realized that Children's Miracle Network Hospitals would be the perfect solution to expand Extra Life into more communities.
This year, when you sign up to play games for 24 hours this year, you won't just be raising money for kids. You'll be supporting LOCAL kids and their families. Kids right in your own backyard.
All the money you raise for Extra Life 2015 will go directly to the Children's Miracle Network Hospital of your choice.

HARRISBURG - The state has pulled the plug on the Chester County dog breeder who sold Vice President Biden a puppy.
The Agriculture Department revoked the license held by Linda Brown, who operates Jolindy's Shepherds in Spring City, for repeated violations of kennel laws.
In a Nov. 19 order, the agency listed dozens of violations, including filthy kennels, contaminated food and water, and dogs crammed in cages with fewer than six inches of headroom. The agency made the order public this week at The Inquirer's request.

LATEST PLAYER ALARMS View All
Adrian Beltre is out of the Rangers lineup on Saturday.
Gallo will be at 3rd and Moreland will be at DH today for the Rangers. It looks like almost all of the regulars will get a break today for the Rangers.
Bears have place DL C.J. Wilson on waivers.
One day after signing him the Bears have placed the ex-packer on waivers. He would have been the third string DE for the Bears and although it happened quickly this move is not too surprising.
Joe Mauer is out of the Twins lineup on Saturday.
Mauer has been out since the 25th with a quad issue. He will be replaced at 1st by Beresford.
Elvis Andrus is out of the Rangers lineup on Saturday.
Andrus will get a break today at short for the Rangers. Profar will get the start at short for the AL west champs.
Carlos Beltran is out of the Rangers lineup on Saturday.
The Rangers have nothing left to clinch. With that being said the best couple games will be time for players like Beltran to get some extra rest prior to the playoffs. Beltran will be replaced at DH by Beltre.
Yoenis Cespedes has been thrown out of Saturday's game.
Cespedes was ejected after arguing strikes. He will be replaced in the outfield by Conforto. The Mets cannot be happy with their star as this is a very important time of the year for the team.
DJ LeMahieu is out of the Rockies lineup on Saturday.
Intent on getting LeMahieu the NL batting title, the Rockies will likely sit him for the rest of the regular season. His average currently sit at a .348, just one tick above Daniel Murphy's .347. In his absence, Daniel Descalso will get the start at the keystone, while he bats second in the order.
Michael Saunders is out of the Blue Jays lineup on Saturday.
With Saunders slumping poorly this month, batting just .154, and the Blue Jays playing for the post season, Michael Saunders will sit for the second straight day on Saturday. Once again Jose Bautista will get the start in right field, while Edwin Encarnacion takes on the DH responsibilities.
Victor Martinez is out of the Tigers lineup on Saturday.
As the Detroit Tigers wrap up their season at a National League park, Victor Martinez will sit for another night as there is no need for a DH. He has started some games at first base this season, but it's very unlikely he'll get the nod over Miguel Cabrerra, especially with a playoff berth on the line.
James McCann is out of the Tigers lineup on Saturday.
As the Tigers close out their regular season at a National League park, catcher James McCann will get the night off to rest Saturday as he is not in the starting lineup. He will be replaced behind the dish by Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who will also be batting eighth in the order.

i love lamp
yea well think about it the reason they sstarted the war in iraq is to find "weapons of terror" and since they didnt find those (which is true)
they went ahead and started talking money and on top of that why in heaven were they killing people to bring democrocy
you see what i mean
see if their was a war between iraq and america i would be in iraqs side
not only cause my religeon says to protect your brother & sisters (are religeon) but cause when america (namely bush) announces this stuff i get pissed off

no thanks. i could not care less about home. its a very neat idea, but i didnt buy a video game system to enter a "virtual" world.

Awesome sig by demonflair *_*Spoiler Alert!If I was a girl I'd get more rep....
Interesting. Tbh Collen, there's more to you then there seems.
My stand point:
1) Get a fleet of bombers to fly out of America
2) Go to iraq
3) Blow the damn place up to shnizz
The end. Easy.
Or, rather, it would've been easy 5 years ago.

and don say that have terrists cause u cant judge a whole country on some maniacs who by the way are actully reading the quran wrong

Not even going to begin to explain.Originally Posted by zeon9881
So you're saying 9/11 happened because of somebody read the Koran wrong? If so, you have been utterly fooled. The terrorists did it out of hate of the U.S as well as our stand on Christianity (because our country is supposed to have a "Christian" image towards things). I'm not saying anything bad about the Koran, but I can tell you as sure as reading this right now that they weren't following it.Originally Posted by zeon9881
And I can say they have terrorists, how can you even say I can't? WTF do you think began this war?
And I guess I should elaborate on what I meant by "Bombing Iraq". Not all the civilians etc. etc. I mean the organizations, the leaders of the terrorism, blow them all to shreds with no mercy. How can you not agree unless you're one of them?
you do realise that christianity is almost like islam
hell we belive in the same people
only you belive that jesus is gods son while we beive jesus is gods messenger (along with 100s more of gods messengers)
oh and if you havent noticed iraq didnt start the war it was obviously terrist but let me eleborate on that
we havent caught one terrist since we started the war though weve killed dozons of civvileans
have you heard about the mosque story (mosque is the place we go to pray)
the U.S army thought they would cry out the terrists by raiding the mousque and on top of that their were people preying in it
NOW tell me how can you kill people WHILE their PREYING and can still go to SLEEP at night knowing that
so now maybe you should start judging america aswell

i can't be arsed to read most of the opinions of the people before, mostly cos there just plain rubbish..
As mentioned before, iraq won't become WW3, because we're not fighting Iraq, just the 'terrorists' in iraq.
Mac Expert.
There is no "war" in Iraq. The majority of pro-war Americans I speak to regarding this seem to think that there is some kind of Alamo happening there, with "our" troops on one side and "terrorists" on the other. Its not the case.
Iraq is an occupied country. Its in a worse state than previously before the invasion for the majority of iraq citizens.
Removing the regime of Saddam Hussein was a noble idea - at least to many people. But that wasn't done for the benefit of the Iraqi people. The Iraqi civillians have not benefited in the way they should have in the aftermath.
Iraq had nothing to do with 911. It has nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction. It has a lot to do with oil.
The oil is the property of the Iraqi people. They should recieve the profits of their own natural resources. They don't see that money...
Due to the nature of my education/employment I have been presented with the oppertunity to oversee the removal and transportation of oil out of iraq. I'd earn as much in two weeks as I currently do in a year - there is a LOT of money there, (funny thing is though I don't want to be kidnapped and tortured for the chance of a quick buck). The private company's oil tanker drivers and related staff, are getting paid way more than any of the military personnell out there. So you ask some of the soldiers who are defending the supply/(oil) lines how they feel about this. That they are not putting their lives on the line for the protection of US citizens - but for the profits of an oil conglomerate - They will probably tell you something you didn't expect.
If anyone "supports" the troops then the best way to do this is to get them the heck out of there. You can't support the war - and support the troops. The war is killing the troops - they should never have been there in the first place...
unfortunatley, WW3 is out of our hands. By electing Bush and Blair, we have sealed the fate of the Iraquis, Afghans and who eever else Bush decides to put away.
I do not support the war, nor do i support terrorism. However i am completley against The folloiwng GOVERNMENTS:
American government.
British government
Israeli government.
Note, i have nothing against american people, british people or israeli people. Its their government that must be stopped, no their people..
The biggest terrorist in the world today is undoubtably Bush, closely followed by Blair. they both have the blood of over 800,000 iraquis on their hands.
there is no way to stop WW3, if we leave it to bush/blair (soon to be brown) they will never stop. Our only hope is that barack obama comes into office.
EDIT: Zeon is spot on.
dont think becuase blair is stepping down, the iraq war will settle...becuase gordon brown is just as bad, if not worse:

Chelios wasn't exactly known for his class when we picked him up... that was a tough pill to swallow for all, or at least most, at first. He had himself a pretty good career here in Detroit

Any suggestions?
This might also be true in Germany if there is a low-violence version of the game.
It's unfortunate but there's probably not much that can be done, problem is that if I uploaded the exe or you used a cracked version you would likely lose the localization.
(Speaking of that there is also three versions of the cracked exe files so if you do attempt to use that you should know that the trainer is incompatible with at least one of them.)
I've downloaded the game from steam and repair the cache. Thx for a response. Bye.

Suicide is a major preventable cause of death. Prevention is facilitated by identification of populations at increased risk. It further requires the ability to estimate accurately the degree of risk in a given person at a given time and to intervene effectively. Considerable progress has been made in identifying high-risk groups. However, though demographic data identify large groups with greater than average risk (eg, the single, widowed, and divorced), they are far too general to be of practical use. They identify large numbers of persons who are never at risk.1 That suicide rarely occurs in the absence of psychiatric illness2-4 further defines the field of special concern. Still, only a minority of those so afflicted will commit suicide. The lifetime risk of suicide in affective disorder is about 15%, not 50% or 90%.5 Thus, knowledge of the association between psychiatric illness and suicide falls far short of

Beyond the Representative Agent
The authors argue for an approach to economic analysis which regards the economy as an interactive system with heterogenous agents and not a system which treats aggregates as some "representative" individual. They then apply this approach to macro- and micro-analyses including monetary policy and firms, technological innovation and the insider-outsider model. They find that this approach proves more fruitful in explaining empirical phenomena than much of the existing theory.

H - HealthYour kitten's health is your responsibility. Take your new pet to the veterinarian immediately for an overall exam and to schedule vaccinations and spay/neuter. Altering your pet will cut down on behavioral issues and protect your pet's health. An indoor-only lifestyle also will help lengthen your kitten's lifespan and eliminate emergencies such as animal attacks, car accidents, poisoning and abuse.
I - IntroductionsGo slow when introducing a kitten into a household with children and/or pets. The new environment alone, without adding other animals and excited young children, will probably overwhelm your kitten. Give your new pet some time in its own space, such as a bathroom or guest room, to become familiar with new scents and noises. Let pets sniff each other under the door and introduce human family members slowly, one at a time. Your veterinarian or an animal behaviorist can also provide guidance for smooth introductions.
J - Juggling responsibilitiesKitten care can involve the entire family, but never make a child solely responsible for pet care. Each family member can be responsible for a particular chore, such as feeding, litterbox duty and keeping the water source clean and filled.
K - KillersCommon household dangers include human painkillers, insecticides, chocolate, coffee, salt, citronella candles, fertilizers, swimming pool treatment supplies, antifreeze, liquid potpourris, rodent bait, electrical cords, ribbons, batteries and toxic cleaning products. Poisonous plants include poinsettia, aloe, sweet pea, onion, azalea, oleander, avocado, rhododendron, most lilies, caladium, morning glory, daffodil, gladiolas, holly, hydrangea, hyacinth, tulip, iris and yucca.
L - LitterboxWhen it comes to the litterbox, cleanliness is essential. Experts recommend providing one box per cat on each level of your home, with one extra. Scoop the litterboxes at least once a day. Each week, completely empty the litterboxes, wash them out and refill them with clean litter.

It's time for a change at Yau Tong MTR station
Yau Tong MTR station, the new interchange between the Kwun Tong Line and the Tseung Kwan O Line for cross-harbour journeys, began operations yesterday.
Passengers heading from the Island Line to the Kwun Tong line via the Eastern Harbour Crossing now have to change trains at Yau Tong station.
Some commuters complained that drivers had mistakenly announced the station as Po Lam, and that the train doors did not line up properly with the sliding doors on the platform.
However, the MTRC, which estimates that the change will add four minutes to the journey for cross-harbour commuters on the Kwun Tong line, said it was satisfied with yesterday's launch.
A $2 discount has been offered for this month to adult Octopus card users for journeys between Shekkipmei and Lam Tin to stations on Hong Kong Island via the new interchange. The Tseung Kwan O line is scheduled to open on August 18.

[ENGLAND]A late goal by Tim Cahill gave Everton a 1-1 tie at its city rival Liverpool and cost the Reds the outright lead in the Premier League. Afterwards, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez, whose exit looked to be increasingly likely following the news he had rejected an offer of a contract extension, pleaded for patience.
Liverpool was on the verge of taking a two-point lead in the EPL but instead is tied with Manchester United, which has a game in hand and a better goal difference. The result marked the fourth time in the last five games at Anfield Liverpool has failed to win.
"It could be better but we have to be positive," said Benitez afterwards. "When you lose two points you have to be disappointed. But let's not forget that we are level on points with Manchester United and we are still in the Champions League. I still believe we can win the title. We have players coming back from injury."
Everton, sixth in the EPL, is unbeaten in seven games -- the Liverpool goal by Steven Gerrard ended a string of six straight shutouts by American keeper Tim Howard.

Teen songs really do have more meaning
Why do the songs I heard when I was teenager sound sweeter than anything I listen to as an adult? I'm happy to report that my own failures of discernment as a music critic may not be entirely to blame. In recent years, psychologists and neuroscientists have confirmed that these songs hold disproportionate power over our emotions. And researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests our brains bind us to the music we heard as teenagers more tightly than anything we'll hear as adults — a connection that doesn't weaken as we age. Musical nostalgia, in other words, isn't just a cultural phenomenon: It's a neuronic command. And no matter how sophisticated our tastes might otherwise grow to be, our brains may stay jammed on those songs we obsessed over during the high drama of adolescence.

Dogs have great smell but lack taste
Q: Dogs have such exquisite olfactory abilities; do they also possess a superior ability to taste things?
A: Their sense of smell may outweigh their sense of taste.
Dogs indeed have 60 times as many smell receptors as humans do, said Dr. Ann Hohenhaus of the Animal Medical Center in New York, and they have 40 times as much brainpower dedicated to smell, allowing them to differentiate 30,000 to 100,000 aromas. "Thus, in dogs," she said, "smell is likely the driving force behind food preferences and at least part of the reason dogs wolf down their food without savoring a bite." She added that dogs have about 1,700 taste buds, compared with about 9,000 in humans. "While it has been reported that dogs possess taste receptors for salt, sweet, bitter and sour," Hohenhaus said, "dogs generally prefer meat or meat-flavored foods."

The pH of how spiders spin liquid steel
For its size, spider silk is stronger than steel, yet it is extraordinarily lightweight and stretchy. Now scientists are learning how spiders produce it. It was already known that spiders store silk proteins, called spidroins, in their glands. But how they converted these soluble, gel-like proteins into a solid state has been a mystery.
Researchers from Sweden report that the change to solid is brought about by a change in pH that occurs as the proteins travel through the glands. The findings appear in the journal PLOS Biology.
"Going from this soluble state is very important because, otherwise, the silk gland would get clogged," said an author of the study, Dr. Jan Johansson, a medical biochemist at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
"Now that we know how the spider does it, we can hopefully also make a mimic," said another author, Anna Rising, a veterinary scientist at the university. "If we could produce large amounts at a low price, there's no limit to what it could be used for."

How dinosaurs got small to take wing
How did birds emerge from a lineage of large dinosaurs whose clawed feet were planted firmly on the ground? Size really matters, according to a team of scientists that traced the incredibly fast shrinkage along 50 million years of ancient avian evolution.
The findings, published in the journal Science, show how the continuous miniaturization of this dinosaur lineage allowed for a whole host of physical changes that made powered flight possible.
Paleontologists have long known that birds evolved from dinosaurs known as theropods, a group that included the formidable Tyrannosaurus rex. And scientists now have found that in the last 50 million years or so before Archaeopteryx (the first known bird) took flight, dinosaurs in the line leading to birds shrunk 12 times, from an average of 359 pounds to a mere 1.8 pounds. And not only that: Miniaturization is also linked to a shortened development period, which means that the increasingly tiny dinosaurs would hold onto more "juvenile" traits in adulthood — shorter snouts, smaller teeth, bigger eyes and bigger brains — some of which were uncannily bird-like traits.
Why the push toward smaller and smaller animals? It could be that the dinosaurs were adapting to living in trees. For arboreal life, you need a small body, big eyes for good 3-D vision so you don't ram yourself into a tree while you're hopping from branch to branch, big brains to deal with a complex environment, and insulating feathers so you can operate at night and munch on nocturnal insects. That's not to mention longer forelimbs to go from tree to tree, which might eventually develop a wing-like surface area to help glide.

A fist bump to fight bacteria
Weak handshakes are often frowned upon, but they may be healthier than firm ones. A fist bump, though, may be an even more hygienic choice. British researchers did a simple experiment. After dipping a gloved hand into a dense culture of Escherichia coli, a bacterium commonly found in human intestines, an experimenter shook hands, bumped fists or high-fived with a person wearing a sterile glove. The results were published in the August issue of the American Journal of Infection Control.
About twice as many bacteria were transferred to the clean glove with a handshake as with a high-five, and the fist bump consistently produced the lowest transmission of all. They then did the fist bump and high-five tests with three more seconds of contact, and tested various pressures and durations for the handshake. Prolonging the high-five had little effect, but making the fist bump three seconds longer significantly increased the transfer of bacteria. A strong handshake (as measured with a dynamometer) was especially effective, moving germs hand to hand in almost twice the quantities of a moderate handshake. Hand hygiene is a serious problem in hospitals, and a recent editorial in JAMA suggested that handshakes should be banned in health care facilities.

Amalyst has secured the capital it needs to roll out its low-cost electrocatalyst aimed at use in fuel cells and water electrolysers.
Venture capital firm Midven has added Amalyst to its list of portfolio businesses through an undisclosed funding round.
Amalyst, which was spun out of academic institution UCL, has developed a fuel cell and electrolysis catalyst technology which generate hydrogen fuel from the passage of electricity through water.
The London-based business is also being backed by UCL Business (UCLB), a technology transfer company which supports and commercialises research and innovations produced at UCL.
Midven and UCLB's capital will be used to open a sales and business development base in the West Midlands to cope with expansion.

Amalyst CEO Dave Hodgson says that the investment has stemmed from the interest shown from potential customers.
He adds, 'Our research has established a platform which is now poised for commercial growth and the team is excited by the opportunity.'
According to Amalyst, its offering differs from others in the market because it does not include any platinum – meaning a reduction in the overall system cost.
Hodgson believes that the markets Amalyst operates in are beginning to get traction due to large automotive companies committing to a 2015 commercial launch of a fuel cell-powered vehicles.
Andrew Muir, director at Midven, comments, 'The Amalyst technology offers higher performance and lower cost compared to alternatives, they are working with customers in multiple markets and we are delighted to support the growth of the company.'
The investment from Midven has come from its Early Advantage Fund, an £8 million pot aimed at commitments in high-growth businesses in the West Midlands.
