What To Order At Celeb's Favorite Restaurants
OK, yeah, I know what you're going to say. Celebs, eat? Whaa? Last time I checked, Jen Aniston was a vegan/vegetarian/all-salad-all-day/raw foodist/no-foodist, that's how she looks so freakin' amazing in whatever pencil skirt or jeans-and-belt-combo she's rocking today. (Or tomorrow, or yesterday…) Well, yeah—many stars have a strict diet they follow as well as an insane personal trainer on call to work off any extra ounce of pudge trying to lay claim to their hips—but I'm talking about what they eat when they make those grand gestures and venture out to the newest hotspot restaurant. You know, the restaurants you and I will never get into without having to eat dinner at 4:30 p.m. or 1 a.m.—places like Wolfgang Puck's Cut in LA or The Waverly Place (pictured above) in New York City where just last night Sienna Miller, she of the bonkers closet fame, ate. Do you ever wonder what celebs chow on during their dinners out? (Hey, you either do or you don't.) Here's a list of celeb haunts and the menu item to order if you ever go on a date with Bradley Cooper and he leaves the "where" part up to you: Wolfgang Puck's LA steakhouse, Cut: Who knew Mark Wahlberg, Tom Ford, Chris O'Donnell, Isla Fisher, Spedi and Courteney Cox all loved beef so much—apparently Wolfgang sends out the not on the menu sliders to his celeb buddies.
The Waverly Inn, NYC: Order the truffled mac and cheese. But during white truffle season, don't be shocked if your check goes up about a hundred dollars, easy. But because you're dining with Sienna, Jessica Simpson, Rachel Zoe, Sean Lennon, and just about any celeb that's ever been to New York, they've got the bill covered. Naturally.
The famous sushi chain, Nobu, in NYC, Miami, Mailbu: Well, we know what you won't be eating, and that's the blue fin tuna. But feel free to stare and point at the likes of Sam Ronson, Charlize Theron and Sting—they love that.
Newbie restaurant, Minetta Tavern, in NYC: A newer joint in comparison, but that doesn't keep Woody Allan, Ben Affleck, Madonna or Jude Law away. Order up the $26 burger—worth the obscene price tag.
Paparazzi target, Il Sole, West Hollywood: Jennifer Aniston's go-to. There have been countless Jen, Courteney Cox and David Arquette paparazzi shots looking full and happy on shrimp linguine, climbing into their cars.

The 38-point percentile increase in word attack put these students well within the normal range (25th–75th percentile). The large average standard score change in word recognition should be noted, as students now performed within the normal range on this measure. Their pre- to posttest results were statistically significant on all measures.

Military police are looking into the story after the Daily Mirror printed photos of a British soldier appearing to use violence on an Iraqi prisoner.
The head of the army, General Sir Michael Jackson, was interviewed on TV about the story and was really angry.
He said if the story is proven to be true the soldiers who did it "are not fit to wear the Queen's uniform."
Army spokesman Roger Goodwin, on behalf of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment, said: "There is no place in our regiment for individuals capable of such appalling and sickening behaviour.
"The sooner they are exposed and ejected from the regiment, the better."
The pictures come days after a number of American troops were also pictured treating prisoners very badly.
US President George W Bush vowed that the US troops responsible would be "taken care of".

Was it a hilarious howler or does he simply not like women? The pope's new children's book, The Friends of Jesus, tells the stories of 14 of Jesus's closest friends, but omitted to include any women, despite Jesus's celebrated friendship with several of the less Catholic sex, especially Mary Magdalene.
On the plus side, there is something refreshing about the Vatican's attitude to PR and spin, which is either that they are the machinations of Beelzebub, or they simply haven't heard of them yet. You can't imagine the head of any other west European state publishing a book without teams of Malcolm Tuckers scribbling all over it in red marker pens to bring it on-message.
Benedict may not be a law unto himself exactly, but he clearly doesn't have his work shredded by a filter of tick boxes. One of the many benefits of not needing anyone's votes ever again.
We saw the same thing earlier this year when the Vatican newspaper published a list of the 10 greatest albums ever, all long hair and guitar solos. No inclusivity, no internationalism, no coolness, and outside of Fleetwood Mac, what do you know, not a single woman. It was clearly not a PR exercise, just a bunch of stuff that some old duffer in the Vatican actually liked.
But when you get past the retro charm of Rome's attitude to inclusion, it reminds you that there was and is a point to political correctness, which is that it discourages people from being ignorant idiots. Musical lists are a harmless enough pursuit, but the attitudes of world religions to sex and the sexes is rather less harmless. Top 10 albums are one thing, but when Rome compiles lists of the top one sex, the exclusion bites rather deeper.
Inclusivity is a practice that begs for parody. It could hardly be an easier target for mockery if it minced about a comedy shooting range in a plastic tutu and Ronald MacDonald wig. Should a kid's book about Jesus's friends also have included a Muslim, a Native American, and one of those hilarious one-legged lesbians? Ho ho.
And yet the pope's literary fallibility reminds us what the alternative is. The alternative is a religion of half a billion women and half billion men, which claims to represent humankind to God and vice versa, and to lay down the law for the relationships and roles of the sexes – and where the assumption that men are intrinsically more significant is so deeply ingrained that the pope can produce a book like this which simply forgets that there were women in the gospel stories.
The alternative to policies of inclusion is an institution that oversees the spiritual welfare and private lives of a billion people, but has no women at all in its hierarchy, nor even men who have wives or daughters. It's one of those situations that's so familiar you have to take a step back to notice just how idiotic it is.
This is, I happily concede, the news wrong story to provoke spluttering indignation against Rome's misogyny. The church's refusal to allow African women with promiscuous husbands the protection of condoms, reinforced by dishonest pseudo-scientific scaremongering, for example, is a rather more serious failure of humanity than any bloke-heavy picture book is capable of.
But the utter obviousness of Benedict's faux pas, however small, to most people in a liberal society, does illustrate how far from the path of sense the Vatican seems to have come. A silly slip maybe, but indicative of a deeply silly situation. It's political incorrectness gone mad!

72-hour visa-free travel to Beijing began on January 1st, 2013. Foreigners are allowed to stay for up to 72 hours within Beijing Municipality without a visa.
Travelers from 51 countries, including the US, Canada, Australia, and most countries in Europe, with an onward flight from Beijing to the third country/region are able to benefit from this policy.
Applicants who apply for 72-hour visa-free transit in Beijing must hold a valid flight ticket with confirmed date and seat or relevant proof. That is to say, you cannot apply for 72-hour visa-free transit if you haven't bought the flight ticket departing from China before entering China.
No. Application for the 72-hour visa-free policy can be made only at Beijing Capital International Airport.
The 72-hour visa-free policy is limited to people who transit from Beijing to a third country. Therefore, foreigners who depart from and return to the same country are not eligible to apply for the visa.
No. During the 72-hour visa-free transit, foreigners must stay in Beijing, and leave China from Beijing Capital International Airport. Leaving Beijing or staying longer than 72 hours is not allowed.
If a stay in Beijing of over 72 hours is required, application is needed for a China visa through Entry-Exit Administration Department of Beijing Municipality Public Security Bureau. Overstaying or leaving Beijing from other ports without a China visa will be handled according to relevant laws and regulations and penalties are severe.
Foreigners who enjoy 72-hour visa-free transit are required to go through security check and inspection. To avoid the spread of epidemics, inspection and quarantine department at the port will set up special channels for fast and efficient passing of 72-hour visa-free transit, and will use methods like infrared temperature monitoring and X-ray screening.
Companion animals belonging to travelers on 72-hour visa-free entry are subject to inspection and quarantine in the place specified by the inspection and quarantine unit. When 72-hour visa-free foreigners leave China, their companion animals must exit under supervision by inspection and quarantine staff.
Assistance dogs such as guide dogs and hearing dogs carried into China by 72-hour visa-free foreigners can accompany the 72-hour visa-free foreigners during their stay, provided that they pass airport inspection and carry the necessary valid certificates.
When 72-hour visa-free foreigners leave China, their assistance dogs must exit at the same time with them under supervision by inspection and quarantine staff.
China Highlights has selected our most popular 1-3 day Beijing tour packages for transiting passengers and business travelers'. We can also customize a visa-free Beijing tour according to your requirements.

Woman charged after leaving gun in restaurant
A 45-year-old Camden woman has been arrested after she left her loaded gun in the stall of a bathroom at a Chick-fil-A restaurant.
Investigators said Robin Albert does not have a concealed weapons permit and was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon.
Authorities say a girl found the gun in the bathroom on April 16 and told her father, who took the weapon to the store manager.
Investigators say the manager put the gun in a safe, and called police when Albert came back to the restaurant trying to find it.
Chick-fil-A has signs in the restaurant banning concealed weapons.

|Back to July Ed Reporter
Coalition Wants to Censor Abstinence Education
The coalition described funding for abstinence-until-marriage programs as "one of the religious right's greatest victories." Among the "problems" allegedly caused by abstinence education: (1) grant money is being awarded to pastors and religious organizations for abstinence programs; (2) "chastity" events are being held in public schools during which children pledge to wait until marriage to have sex; (3) sexually-explicit portions of health textbooks and other classroom materials are being removed; and (4) students are "suffer[ing] from ignorance."
Abstinence education advocates reject the coalition's claims. "Who is censoring whom?" asks Scott Phelps of Chicago-based Project Reality, a leader in abstinence-centered education. "Abstinence education is spreading like wildfire. After years of holding a monopoly on sex education, Planned Parenthood and friends are losing their grip as more and more schools across the country embrace abstinence education."
Last September, the Guttmacher Institute - a Planned Parenthood affiliate - reported that the number of teachers and school nurses embracing abstinence education jumped from 25% to 41% over a 10-year period, while the number of teachers who considered contraception instruction "most important" declined from 5% to just 1.5%. (See Education Reporter, November 2000.)
"This is particularly problematic for Planned Parenthood," observes Phelps, "since they've just begun selling their own brand of condoms targeted to kids 'in a variety of styles, colors, and flavors.' Although claiming that 'abstinence doesn't work,' Planned Parenthood likely knows that abstinence does work, and they are extremely concerned about it."
In January of this year, the American Journal of Sociology published the results of an extensive research study conducted by Columbia and Yale Universities on "virginity pledges," which may be part of some abstinence-centered programs. The researchers concluded in their report that "Taking a pledge delays intercourse for a long time. The pledge effect . . . is real and it is substantial."
The researchers found that teens who took chastity pledges were 34% less likely to engage in premarital sex, and that the median age for first intercourse among pledging females was reduced two to three years compared to non-pledging females. Similar delays were found in males.
Many abstinence advocates believe that these research findings explain why Planned Parenthood and its allies are stepping up their anti-abstinence campaign. "While these groups are claiming that teaching abstinence to teens is censorship, they are ironically saying that teachers who fail to teach what they want them to teach should be censored," Scott Phelps points out. "They are demanding that all schools teach Planned Parenthood's brand of sex education even though many parents, teachers and schools are choosing abstinence education."
Phelps notes that, while comprehensive sex education claims to teach "both abstinence and contraception," it focuses on teaching students how to use condoms even if they are not sexually active.
Despite the Planned Parenthood coalition's efforts, abstinence programs are expected to continue to increase. "Abstinence education programs are growing in numbers, impact and popularity among schools and administrators," says Project Reality director Kathleen Sullivan, "and government funding does not involve censorship, but recognition of success. The cry of censorship certainly applies to groups who would suggest eliminating programs that teach teens that abstinence is the safest and healthiest lifestyle."

By ASA (IE&E)September 27, 2012
PENTAGON, Washington DC (Sept. 24, 2012) -- Members of the Fort Stewart, GA Environmental Division were presented with the GreenGov 2012 "Building the Future Award," one of seven GreenGov Presidential awards.
The "Building the Future Award" is the overarching award for achievements in multiple Executive Order goals.
Fort Stewart was recognized as the Department of Defense winner for their accomplishments in reducing water and energy intensity, increasing waste diversion, and protecting over 28,000 acres of surrounding wildlife habitat through partnerships with local governments and communities.
The GreenGov awards are sponsored by the White House Council on Environmental Quality and the Federal Environmental Executive, and recognize extraordinary achievements in implementation of Executive Order 13514 -- Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance.
Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, White House Cabinet Secretary Christopher Lu, and Federal Environmental Executive Jonathan Powers presented the award to Fort Stewart's delegation.
Accepting the award for the Fort Stewart Environmental Division were: Tim Beaty, fish and wildlife branch chief; Jeff Mangun, forestry branch chief; Brent Rabon, water and infrastructure section leader; Ron King, recycling section leader; and Alana Olson, sustainability program manager.
On hand to recognize Fort Stewart's achievement was: Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Installations and Environment, John Conger; Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installation, Energy and Environment, Katherine Hammack; Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health, Hew Wolfe; and Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Energy and Sustainability, Richard Kidd.


text: Are there any places that have information on all the different lines of clothing each brand has and how they vary by quality? I'm familiar with the most basic and obvious examples: Ralph Lauren: Polo Sport->Polo->Purple Label (with Chaps and that green labelled Ralph Lauren line somewhere in the lower end of the spectrum) Armani: A|X->Le Collezioni->Black label/Classico (I don't know where Emporio falls). But for most of the other designers, I really wish there were some sort of information site to keep track of all the different brands they have. Right now the ones I'm most interested in knowing are Boss (Black Label, Hugo Red Label, Orange Label, Baldessarini), Dolce & Gabbana (&, D&G, Dolce & Gabbana... I just bought a pair of & labelled pants off ebay for about $30 and am wondering if I overpaid for some lower quality pants), Versace, and Prada, but if anyone knows of some sort of reference, let me know.

Lourdes Leon Talks Graduation and Fashion Flubs
Given that her mother is Madonna, Lourdes Leon has a unique perspective on pretty much everything.
The 17-year-old designer took to the Material Girl website with a new blog post as a brand new high school graduate!
Lourdes wrote, "Oh how I wish I could go back in time and urge my 14-year-old self NOT to wear black rhinestone studded T-shirts with bloody skulls on them, purchased from really 'hip' stores."
Additionally, Leon noted that completing high school gave her the "confidence and the yolo spirit I needed to successfully look like a clown."
"Can't believe I was just starting high school when we launched MG and now I am graduating! These looks will hit Macy's when I am a college freshman."

Affordable housing requires not more land but wiser use
Related topics
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying has made ensuring affordable housing a priority. But we are repeatedly told that there is not enough available land, making the pledge a challenge to deliver. A satellite photograph of Hong Kong's 1,100 square kilometres says otherwise, as does a trip to the New Territories, where there is unused space aplenty. With the government having total say over how it is used, the matter becomes less one of shortage than practicality and resolve.
Just 6.8 per cent of land is used for homes and little more than half is in urban areas. Country parks and conservation zones account for 46 per cent. Property developers are sitting on large land banks, with the five biggest having more than 1,200 hectares, enough for homes for hundreds of thousands of people. The government's reserves are a third of that, but half has been set aside for homes for New Territories' indigenous male villagers, as stipulated under the 1972 small-house policy.
Leung has set a target of ensuring 20,000 flats are built each year. That is in keeping with projections that the population will grow by 1.8 million by 2039. The government estimates that providing enough homes will require 1,500 hectares of land. Among proposed schemes are rezoning industrial land, buying up farmland and reclaiming surrounding waters.
Henderson Land, with more in its land bank than any other developer, has offered one solution: chairman Lee Shau-kee says his company is willing to build low-cost flats, providing the government gives incentives. That is an innovative approach to the problem, but there are obviously other ways to meet the land and housing challenge. Those already raised are controversial, expensive or insufficient. If goals are to be met, we have to overhaul our land policy.
For one, the government could impose a tax on developers for not using land that they are holding within a specified period. Although country parks are much cherished for recreation and necessary for water catchment, with just 5 per cent of their area equalling the present urban private residential zone, perhaps it is time to reassess how much of our green belts we want and need. Lantau Island has been largely off-limits for development, but maybe now is the time to change that thinking. Then there is the small-house policy - unsustainable, chauvinistic and unfair to urban residents.
There is plainly enough land to meet our future needs. We just need to use it wisely and manage it better.

text: Our Verdict We like these: they allow your speakers to do their job For Using these, we had good detail, clarity and energy Against Can be slightly hard-sounding – we would use filler. Reviewed on 3rd February 2013 The Atacama Duo 6 speaker stands are easy to assemble, and nicely finished. Their spikes are a bit fiddly to adjust, however. You'll need a cushion to kneel on. They're really good at letting our reference system to do its job properly. We put them under a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze BX2s, and heard plenty of detail, clarity and transparency to treble, although it was, at times, knocking on the door of hardness – be careful with your partnering kit. Mass-load the stand with sand and things get notably better. There's tight bass and bags of energy here. It's an open sound, too, with instruments given plenty of space to breathe. We really like the Duo 6s. If your system's overall sound is on the mellow side, these won't do any harm when it comes retaining some bounce.

Everybody's talking about it – working flexibly, that is.
However, not all law firms are as far down the line as they should be when it comes to offering a first-class working environment.
Flexible working is a subject that has taxed Tony Blair, the unions, the Americans, business leaders et al – but it's one that won't go away. Just this month the Government announced its 'open all hours' plan for schools, in part to provide childcare for working parents.
Gone are the days when it was macho to be the last one to leave the office, and gone too is the prevailing City culture which militates against flexibility.
In its place is solid evidence that the benefits of working flexibly – for employers and employees – are overwhelming.
At Shoosmiths we recognise that the social expectations of a work-life balance have extended beyond women with young children to fathers and young workers.
And I am happy to report that solid, practical business reasons lie behind the firm's approach.
More and more women are coming into the legal profession.
Shoosmiths' current solicitor split is 44:56 male and female, and if we want to retain these key people we must be flexible.
At the same time, it is vital to stress that our approach is not at the cost of business – we have to manage client needs and we find our clients are more than tolerant of work-life balance issues. Our set-up gets the best out of staff yet also ensures clients have the level of responsiveness they require.
Shoosmiths' flexibility includes allowing staff to 'buy' and 'sell' up to eight days of their holiday each year. At two points during the calendar year, January and June, staff can either accumulate or offload up to eight days of their holiday entitlement up to a maximum of 33 days per year and not including bank holidays. Our people simply love that option.
Home working is also key, with one in nine lawyers at Shoosmiths working part-time and one in five employees overall.
There have also been occasions where both assistants and partners have been allowed to take sabbaticals. Ours is a pragmatic approach.
The firm views sabbaticals as an important element in career development which can broaden experience and skills sets. There have also been occasions where it has been inappropriate and we have had to turn people down.
That we look at cases seriously and individually underlines the fact that we will not superimpose an archaic culture which has no grounding in today's business environment. All law firms should aim for a combination of quality work within a sensible work-life balance as part of a polite, friendly, warm atmosphere in which to undertake that work.
When someone walks out of the door for good at any institution, it is not just the head count that diminishes. They take with them all the experience, knowledge and client contacts that they have accumulated. It is appreciating what that loss means and the cost of recruiting that counts.
It seems like everybody's talking about this subject – but some are putting the supporting culture in place and are more serious about it than others.

Crossing Cardinal Nein
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
POPE BENEDICT XVI takes over the throne of St. Peter with a remarkably long and telling record. The one consistent theme in the more than 100 cases that he adjudicated as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faithful was his fierce, overarching defense of absolutism against relativism in doctrinal matters - of any kind.
He snuffed out Marxist-tinged liberation theology in Latin America and reproved the Rev. Charles E. Curran and other university theologians who sought to loosen church rules on contraception and homosexuality.
Cardinal Ratzinger also reined in religious dissidents on the right, most notably Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who rejected even the most basic reforms of the Second Vatican Council.
And he arguably should have been a little tougher on Emmanuel Milingo, a Zambian archbishop who wed a 43-year-old Korean acupuncturist in a group ceremony performed by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the eccentric leader of the Unification Church. (Rev. Milingo renounced his bride and the Unification Church after a visit with John Paul II and was welcomed back to the fold.)
Pope Benedict spent a quarter of a century fighting what he calls the "dictatorship of relativism," and weeding out challenges to strict Catholic teaching. It was his training as a theologian, it was his day job in the Roman curia, but it also reflected his sensibility as a German Catholic.
He and John Paul II had no dispute on doctrinal matters, but they came from different worlds and those distinctions were clearest at the end of John Paul's papacy. They are likely to be just as visible at the start of Benedict XVI's.
John Paul II was born in a Poland that was almost 100 percent Catholic - when he became a bishop the chief threat to his faith was Communism. The new pope was born into a conservative Catholic enclave in a country with deep Protestant roots. He came of age in Nazi Germany, but by the time he became a bishop, his preoccupation was the secularization of Europe as a whole, and particularly in Germany, a hotbed of Catholic dissent.
After Communism collapsed, the Slavic pope fixated on mending the 1,000-year rift with the Eastern Orthodox Church, sometimes pushing the Vatican's ecumenical envelope in an effort to mollify Eastern European patriarchs. He had some notable successes, including a joint service with Patriarch Teoctist of Romania in 1999, but he never realized his dream of visiting Moscow.
Cardinal Ratzinger never displayed the same degree of interest in reconciling East and West in what John Paul II loved to describe as the "two lungs of Christianity." Mostly he was busy stamping out wisps of religious pluralism, most famously in 2000, when he published "Dominus Iesus" ("The Lord Jesus") , which condemned "relativistic theories" of religious pluralism and described other faiths as "gravely deficient."
The document was mostly aimed at reining in straying Catholic theologians like the Rev. Jacques Dupuis, a Belgian theologian who after teaching in India argued that other religions could also lead to salvation, but it offended religious leaders of almost every stripe. Jewish religious leaders in Rome boycotted several interfaith meetings in protest. Even some cardinals publicly questioned its tone and timing.
And yet one of his less known decisions was a 1998 joint declaration by the Vatican and the Lutheran World Federation affirming that the two churches had found common ground on the issue of "justification," the means by which a human being is made worthy of salvation; that dispute drove Martin Luther to set off the Protestant Reformation more than 500 years ago.
At the time, many of Cardinal Ratzinger's critics suspected that he would sabotage the declaration. Instead, the Cardinal, a longtime admirer of Martin Luther, was instrumental in rescuing an agreement when it was on the verge of collapse, according to John L. Allen Jr., a journalist for The National Catholic Reporter who wrote a 2001 biography of Cardinal Ratzinger. The signing took place on Oct. 31, 1999, the anniversary of the day Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg.
As was his wont, the future Pope Benedict did not go soft on what he deemed critical issues of doctrine. Disagreement between the two churches on issues like papal infallibility and the ordination of women still remain. Accordingly, Cardinal Ratzinger blocked German Catholics from sharing communion with their Lutheran brethren at a 2003 joint gathering.

Super-Team Family is a comic book anthology series published by DC Comics from 1975 to 1978 that lasted for fifteen issues. The series published a mix of original and reprinted stories.
Publication history[edit]
Super-Team Family began publication with a October–November 1975 cover date.[1] DC published several other ... Family titles concurrent with Super-Team Family including The Superman Family (1974-1982), Batman Family (1975-1978) and Tarzan Family (1975-1976). As a rule, DC's ... Family titles contained mostly reprints, and featured a higher page count (and higher price) than DC's normal books.
The original intention of Super-Team Family was to be a 'home' for original story team-ups without Batman, as editor Gerry Conway wrote in the letters column of issue #1. The first issue was only all-reprint due to scheduling problems, according to Conway. By issue #3 "economics had changed", and readers were informed that the series would go all-reprint with #4, edited by E. Nelson Bridwell. As of #9 the editor changed again, and Super-Team Family returned to an original-story format, with the occasional reprint seen in back-up stories.
A Creeper/Wildcat team-up in #2 and a Flash/Hawkman tale in #3 were the only new stories in the first seven issues of the title. The Challengers of the Unknown were the lead feature in issues #8-10 in a series of new stories by writer Steve Skeates and artists James Sherman and Jack Abel. Reprinted backup stories were eliminated as of #11 which saw the start of a four-issue serial written by Gerry Conway starring the Atom teaming with various other DC characters.[2]
When Super-Team Family started to print only original work it no longer was a "... Family" title. DC management liked the sales results of later issues of the series and saw the financial advantage of lowering the page count. Rather than redefining the nature of the "... Family" titles, they opted to create a new series. Super-Team Family ended its run with issue #15 (March–April 1978),[1] and was replaced a few months later with the Superman team-up title DC Comics Presents (July 1978).[2]
After the cancellation of Super-Team Family, a Supergirl/Doom Patrol team-up originally scheduled to appear in the series was published in The Superman Family #191-193.[3]

Microsoft Thursday acknowledged that it may have to re-release a recent fix for a flaw that stymied some users' ability to grab security patches through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
The fix, which was issued Wednesday, patched a month-old problem with WSUS that had prevented some PCs from receiving updates, including security patches. Systems with Office 2003 were unable to retrieve patches via WSUS since early June because of a synchronization bug in an update that month to the suite's Service Pack 1.
Thursday, however, Microsoft warned of potential problems with the fix: Customers running WSUS 3.0 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 may find that the patch won't install properly. "In order to successfully install this update, you must run the update as an administrator," said Microsoft in a revised security advisory.
The advisory recommended that users download the fix, save it to the desktop, then right-click the update's icon and select "Run as administrator."
The company also confirmed that the update cannot be uninstalled because it doesn't show in the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel. "Microsoft has identified the packaging inconsistencies in the current update and is investigating options to resolve them," read the advisory.
"We will continue to monitor the situation and post updates to the advisory and the Microsoft Security Response Center blog as we become aware of any important new information," said company spokesman Bill Sisk on the MSRC blog Thursday.
Microsoft also confirmed, or seemed to, that the WSUS bug and one involving System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (ConfigMgr), another Windows patch tool, had the same root cause. Companies that relied on ConfigMgr have also been unable to push patches to end-user PCs that have Office 2003 installed.
"The issue affecting System Center Configuration Manager 2007, where System Center Configuration Manager 2007 systems were blocked from deploying security updates, is separate from the issue described in this advisory," said Microsoft Thursday in the WSUS alert. "However, there are similarities in the contributing factors in both issues."
However, Microsoft has yet to respond to queries made yesterday about the exact nature of the similarities between the two bugs.
This story, "Microsoft Confirms WSUS Patch Problem" was originally published by Computerworld.

University of Canterbury welcomes government support
University of Canterbury welcomes government support
The University of Canterbury announced on 1 August that, following the preparation of long-term forecasts, it would be seeking Government support. After considering the UC business case, the Government has confirmed its agreement in principle, subject to a more detailed business case which will determine the level of support to be provided, to help the University of Canterbury address the financial impacts of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes by providing capital support to advance its science and engineering capabilities.
Chancellor Dr John Wood says that the University of Canterbury warmly welcomes the Government's confirmation of support for the UC business case.
"UC has engaged with and received broad based endorsement from Ngāi Tahu and a wide range of educational, business and community leaders. We believe that a strong university goes hand-in-hand with a robust, cohesive and growing economy and community. We are committed to supporting the recovery of Christchurch. Government support will help us do that even more effectively."
Vice-Chancellor Dr Rod Carr says the University appreciates the Government's understanding of the University's situation and its recognition of the need for support.
"I would like to acknowledge the Government for the pace at which it has considered our business case; for recognising the significant contribution UC makes locally and nationally; and for its commitment to support the University post-earthquake.
"We will work with the Government to determine the optimum level and options for support. This will need to be treated with some urgency to ensure that the University remains financially viable in the medium to long-term.''
Payments to UC bondholders will not be affected by this announcement.
The Government's commitment is an outcome of the UC Futures project which developed the University's post-earthquake strategy to transform itself through closer partnerships with:
· The business sector
· Secondary schools
· Partner institutions
· Other tertiary education providers
· Crown Research Institutes
· Ngāi Tahu
"Another important component of our plan is a commitment to engage in the central city health and innovation precincts," Dr Carr says.
"It reflects our vision of a university that isn't just a place students come to when they want a degree. We see a university that is a learning environment well connected with the local community."
Dr Carr says that the commitment from the Government is both positive and reinforces the need for the University to do what it can to ensure a sustainable future.
"With work on campus remediation well and truly underway, a busy enrolment period and this commitment from the Government, we can take heart that the University is making good progress towards recovery from the events of the past two years."

The Chevrolet Volt starts at around $33,000 and competes in the mid-sized sedan segment, however it's somewhat unique status as a plug-in hybrid sets itself apart from much of the market. With over 50 miles of electric range, it's likely that most owners will get around purely on electric power most of the time they're driving the Volt. However, range anxiety should be non-existent as the Volt does have a gasoline engine available to recharge the batteries when needed. Chevrolet estimates a total range of about 420 miles if the Volt is not recharged via an external source.
Compare the 2016 Chevrolet Volt against similar models
The Chevrolet Volt has been completely redesigned for 2016, now entering its second generation. The body is more sculpted and muscular, while the interior is more comfortable and feels roomier. The drivetrain has also seen a major overhaul with a new dual motor system that helps save weight and increase efficiency. Even the battery placement has changed, with the battery pack being placed lower and further back in the vehicle to improve weight distribution and stability.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission

Below are the available colors for the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The 2016 Chevrolet Volt, a five-door fastback hatchback, is all new. It's not like most other cars that are called all-new. With the electric Volt it really is all new, and it's important. The first generation of Volt was groundbreaking, and as such had shortcomings. This Volt rewrites the book, in order to cover what was missed in the original.
For starters, it has way more all-electric range, EPA-rated at 53 miles (up from 38); better fuel mileage, EPA-rated 42 Combined miles per gallon (up from 37); and a slightly lower price. In electric mode, the EPA rates the Volt at 106 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent). An 8.9-gallon fuel tank with the new battery pack give a total gas/electric range of 430 miles, way up from the old Volt's 340 miles.
The new Volt is quieter, smoother, and faster: zero to sixty in about 8 seconds, down from 9. Total output to the wheels is the same 111 kilowatts (149 hp), but torque has increased to a remarkable 294 pound-feet from 273.
It's 200 pounds lighter, while seating another person, now five, never mind that it should be a small person. More visibly, the new styling is quite rakish and sporty; instead of sticking out and announcing ELECTRIC CAR, like before, the Volt now turns heads that ask, electric car? (It's actually a hybrid extended-range car, or something like that.)
The cockpit is also less self-conscious, in that it doesn't try so hard to be different. The high-tech chase is toned down, allowing the controls to be more conventional and intuitive. The first Volt's irritating touch switches have been replaced by knobs for audio and climate control.
The chassis/platform is also new, to be used by upcoming GM compact cars, for example the next Chevrolet Cruze. It's modified to make space for the Volt's T-shaped battery pack. This is the area where improvement is zooming, now with 192 lithium-ion cells, when before there were 288. Battery capacity is 18.4 kilowatt-hours, about 8 percent more.
According to Chevrolet, 90 percent of Volt buyers' round trips will be less than 53 miles, so we're talking almost never buying gas. But the internal combustion engine is there for the real world, insurance against running out battery power, the elimination of range anxiety. The engine is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder making 101 horsepower, developed to fire on the efficient Atkinson Cycle.
Neither the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have yet rated the 2016 Volt for crashworthiness; the 2015 Volt received five stars (the highest rating), and GM isn't going to let the new one go backward. The 2016 Volt comes with 10 airbags.
The 2016 Chevrolet Volt LT ($33,170) comes with cloth seats, rearview camera, automatic climate control, OnStar 4G LTE with a three-year subscription, keyless access and ignition, WiFi hot spot, and Siri Eyes Free and text-message alerts. Options include heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, leather upholstery (two-tone available), navigation and Bose audio. No sunroof available.
Optional safety systems include rear cross-traffic alerts and blind-spot, forward collision alert, lane-departure warning and correction, automatic braking, and rear and front parking assist.
The Chevrolet Volt Premier ($37,520) includes many of the options.
The 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't display hybrid/electric-car weirdness like the Toyota Prius and Nissan Leaf do, or more notably like the old Volt.
Instead, it's sleek, angular and aggressive, lower and tauter than before, with a wedge nose with lights that sweep toward the steep windshield. The backlight is steep, and the high rear deck is not flat and plain. There's a sharp character line on the side that obliterates the old Volt's slab side.
We see hints of Honda Civic in the profile and pillars, echoes of Acura in the pointed nose, and sounds of Subaru in the curve of the taillamps. But a textured silver blanking plate replacing the grille, as well as a black Volt spear on the front fender, connect the car to its purpose.
We like the new Volt's twin-cockpit design, in black and with silver accents. Available two-tone interiors adds a bit of elegance. There are still some over-styling flourishes, but nothing like the old car's gimmicky controls, chaotic display, and glossy plastic console.
The controls, switches, and instruments are legible and easy to grasp and use. Knobs for audio and climate replace the maddening capacitive touch buttons. The central display screen is crisp.
The rear seats are low, with the window seats in the form of buckets. The center seat is basically just a cushion over the battery pack, while the battery tunnel spreads that unlucky fifth passenger's feet.
Rearward visibility is improved but still not great. Good riddance to that extra glass panel in the hatchback. The old Volt's blind spot at the base of the windshield pillars has been downsized but remains. Apparently, the steep windshield requires a large pillar to make the top crush-resistant.
Over-the-shoulder visibility is dismal, but at least the rearview camera is high quality, with the best resolution on the 8-inch center display screen than we've ever seen in a compact car.
The 2016 Volt is heavy for a compact, at 3540 pounds, hardly lithe, but its steering is fairly lively, and the roadholding decent. It's actually enjoyable to drive on twisty roads: quiet, smooth, and not fussy, while the delivery of its electric power is consistent and soothing.
We drove the Volt for two days around San Francisco, and found the all-electric range of 53 miles to be realistic. But even when we ran out of battery power and the car switched to its gas engine, it was quiet. We drove about 100 miles on the engine, and barely knew it. The friction brakes and regenerative brakes blend imperceptibly.
When the battery pack is depleted, the engine uses one of two motor-generators to flow electricity to the battery pack at up to 45 kW. The engine assists the electric motors in powering the front wheels when that is most efficient. Or the motors can power the front wheels together, or one motor can drive the car while the other recharges the battery, depending on what uses the least energy. What the motors and engine are doing is usually invisible.
Fully recharging the batteries takes 4.5 hours, says GM, using a 240-volt Level 2 charging station. But only a 120-volt cable comes with the car, and a full recharge can take as long as nine to 12 hours, depending on temperature, the quality of the circuit, and other factors. DC quick-charging isn't possible with the Volt. The charging system is rated at 3.6 kilowatts; more would charge faster, but Chevrolet says that overnight charging is most common among Volt owners. Owners who work long hours may not always get a full charge, but they will have the gas engine as a fallback and will still use only a small amount of fuel.
If you didn't buy a Volt when it came out in 2011 because you knew it would soon be improved, you were right. Maybe now is the time to buy. Unlike a pure electric car, the Volt will never run out of battery juice and leave you on the side of the road. Its gas engine is always standing by, ready to get you where you're going.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Our Firm
News and Updates
Parnassus Highlight
The Parnassus equity funds follow a company-specific investment process to evaluate the
intrinsic value of the company based on the future relevancy of the company's products or
services, sustainable competitive advantages and management. Once we determine that a
company's intrinsic value is increasing, we perform a detailed valuation analysis to
analyze the underlying fundamentals and economics of the company. This results in a
three-year range of outcomes for the stock and an assessment of the risk of permanent
loss of capital. We monitor a company's stock price until it falls to a level that
generates an acceptable, risk-adjusted expected internal rate of return and initiate
a position based on the expected return profile.
Portfolio management sets position sizes according to a proprietary "core" and
"opportunistic" capital framework. All positions have a core component, which is based
primarily on the risk of permanent loss of capital. For certain positions, opportunistic
capital is invested on top of the core position. This approach allows us to take advantage
of short-term volatility within our long-term holdings.
The Parnassus Fixed Income Fund investment process begins by formulating a macroeconomic
outlook for the next three to five years. We then determine the appropriate exposure
to both market and credit risk based on our economic and interest rates forecast.
Our assessment of market risk leads to the selection of a duration target and yield
curve positioning of the portfolio. The final step consists of selecting securities
that meet the duration, asset class and sector targets established in the previous
steps. We leverage our expertise in fundamental equity research to select individual
debt securities, and we apply environmental, social and governance (ESG) screens
to our investment universe.

Light Rye Sandwich Loaves Recipe
I'll sometimes shape half of the dough into a round loaf, hollow it out after baking and fill it with dip for parties.
- 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2-1/2 cups rye flour
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar

Keystone2 is a Web-based tool for managing a small to medium-sized workgroup. Its primary use is as a trouble ticket system for the department and the userbase, but also includes contact and resource management, all tightly integrated. The system allows the userbase to enter tickets in a simple fashion, while the technicians have a more powerful and advanced view. After installation, the entire system is manageable via the Web interface.
|Internet Web
Release Notes: This represents the final set of changes bringing Keystone2 up to date. Many bugs in the secondary modules have been patched. The resources manager has essentially been rewritten. Contact management has been improved greatly, and many small annoying bugs in rendering and reporting have been repaired.
Release Notes: The Contacts subsystem was completely reworked. Many broken services that were disabled when going to the new codebase were re-enabled.
Release Notes: Further changes were made to the new interface design along with a large scale cleanup of back end code, support for PHP 5, and support for running within a non-register_globals environment.
Release Notes: There is a vastly improved Contacts system, more HTML fixes, and improvements to the 'visitor' pages for better contact tracking.
Release Notes: Several functionality fixes and further conversion to new display formatting.
Great Stuff
I've used Keystone in a few projects, and found it very easy to use and modify. After introducing it to other developers and testers, they were able to come up to speed rather quickly and navigate its various forms and reports.
I've written a number of extensions for specific purposes and made modifications, and found it very straightforward. I really hope White Pajamas either sells the product or makes it open so that it won't die on the vine.
keystone support
Simply put Keystone is the best bug tracking software on the market.
I found it very easy to customize.
A Fluent OpenStack client API for Java.
A TWiki appliance that is easy to use and lightweight.

Christine Schotty recently provided an update on her Mass Effect 3 hoodie designs, and it turns out that BioWare is onboard with the project:
I had a talk on the phone yesterday with a couple of people who are part of the team that make official mass effect apparel. they were really nice people, and I was a nervous wreck. XD it was agreed their designers will be taking on the hoodie project! chances are my hoodies are nowhere near the final product, afterall I'm no true designer and haven't got the slightest idea what looks good on clothing and what doesnt. I just conceptualized the idea. they will be redesigning the hoodies, and will sell a few as a trial run, and if it goes well more hoodies will be added I'm sure. thus, the project so far I consider a success. in the end, it was all about making fun character hoodies that made me feel like my favorite mass effect character and all their memories were with me. afterall some characters in the bioware store have been restricted to one sex, when really both male and female characters are loved by both male and female fans. really I just wanted my tali clothing for mah womanly shape.
Currently, there's no word on which hoodies will be included in the trial run, or how much they will cost – but based on the prices in the BioWare store, customers will probably have to shell out a fair chunk of change.

Public masturbation is the logical add-on activity to public exhibitionism and the opposite of hidden masturbation: Instead of 'only' showing off nude facts the female starts to masturbate at locations with no or limited privacy thus allowing other persons to watch her playing with her tits and/or pussy. Public masturbation is considered a location-oriented female masturbation technique.
Public masturbation is mostly done at locations where it is unlikely to be seen - otherwise it is more an element of very aggressive exhibitionism. The thought that someone might be watching and that she is exposed during masturbation, gives some females additional mental stimulation or simply sexual thrills. Public masturbation usually includes her stimulating her pussy, e.g. her clit. Typically the masturbating lady selects a location where she might be spotted and not a location where she will be spotted. Those places can be: the passenger or driver seat of a car, a balcony, a window, a beach. Also in most cases the location can be seen but not be accessed easily, meaning that the masturbating lady keeps the spectators out of direct access to her body. Public masturbation might lead to public fucking or might be accompanied by her giving him a public handjob.
Public male masturbation is likely to get you arrested and labeled a pervert and is called public wanking.
[edit] Common Locations for Public Masturbation
[edit] Public Masturbation in Cars
According to the number of contris received by Voyeurweb, this seems to be one of the most popular locations for public masturbation. The masturbating female can be the driver or codriver of the car. When a female driver masturbates, her actions are almost hidden, while a masturbating codriver has more options to let bypassing cars and especially trucks know about her ongoing masturbation. When masturbating while driving, she usually uses her hands and fingers only, while a masturbating codriver might use sex toys. Public masturbation in cars can be combined with flashing truckers. Public masturbation in cars is also discussed under mobile masturbation and car masturbation.
[edit] Public Masturbation in Car Photos

Flash Cards Bunny masturbating with a sex toy as codriver
[edit] Public Masturbation behind a Window
Another common type of public masturbation is to position yourself behind a window (quite often the window of a hotel room) and to start masturbation activities. This is called window masturbation. The most extreme type of masturbating behind a window is to attach a suction cup dildo to the window. This activity is called window fuck.
[edit] Public Masturbation while Sunbathing
Public Masturbation while sunbathing is another common method. Masturbating ladies have been spotted on all kind of beaches including topless beaches and nude beaches and depending on the location the masturbating girl wears a bikini, a bikini bottom only or nothing. Ideally she has a partner with her to let her know if she has been spotted. Being told someone is watching can bring on an almost instant climax. He should also take some photos! A special type of this type of masturbation is beach masturbation.
[edit] Videos showing public masturbation while sunbathing:
[edit] Public Masturbation on Balconies
Women masturbating in public places by crossing their legs and squeezing the thighs together, which a handsfree and very discrete way to masturbate for women. There is no way to tell that a girl is performing crossed legs masturbation!

I remember a brief discussion about this when a customer complained in the forums about their YouTube video being flagged for copyright infringement because they had used a track they purchased from AJ. Was that because the track was licenced elsewhere under the Content ID programme, or because Envato enlists its authors' tracks in Content ID?
My understanding is that the tracks we upload are not part of the Content ID programme (which is a good thing as it can lead to all sorts of problems in my opinion). If you're wondering what Content ID is, take a look here and if you're wondering why I think it's a bad thing, take a look here for a synopsis.
To pre-empt questions, think about it from the customer's perspective – if you had ads from competitor companies popping up on your promotional video because of a track you'd purchased, I think you'd agree it's unlikely you'd return to buy more from that place.
Anyway, would be interested to know the official position of Envato on this please.
Hi Taco,
Happy New Year. YouTube occasionally incorrectly flags some AudioJungle audio as a copyright infringement, that's what causes the issue you are referring to. We have an article about it in the KnowledgeBase:http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Live/Knowledgebase/Article/View/416/0/youtube-incorrectly-flagged-my-video-for-copyright-infringement-what-do-i-do
Regarding ContentID, no, Envato does not own or enter any of it's author's work into ContentID. That is the optional responsibility of the copyright owner, which is you, the author, should you choose to pursue it. Hope this helps!
Hi Scott,
Happy New Year too Thanks for clarifying that, appreciate you providing an answer so quickly and it certainly puts my mind at rest.
All the best,

The British Humanist Association just released this Introduction to Humanism featuring Richard Dawkins, A.C. Grayling, Tim Minchin, Zoe Margolis, Polly Toynbee, Phillip Pullman, and many others:

Hemant Mehta is the editor of Friendly Atheist, appears on the Atheist Voice channel on YouTube, and co-hosts the uniquely-named Friendly Atheist Podcast. You can read much more about him here.
100% pure win. I loved every second of it.
That was beautiful. Thanks!
Point of order. This is technically what is known (for lack of a better term) as movement humanism.
Actual Humanism can be understood, in a nutshell, as the position that humanity has claimed all responsibilities that were previously ascribed to deities. This is the position of Humanism Manifesto I. What may surprise many atheists today is precisely what Humanism originally sought to achieve, namely, a better religion:
There is great danger of a final, and we believe fatal,
identification of the word religion with doctrines and methods which
have lost their significance and which are powerless to solve the
problem of human living in the Twentieth Century. Religions have always
been means for realizing the highest values of life. Their end has been
accomplished through the interpretation of the total environing
situation (theology or world view), the sense of values resulting
therefrom (goal or ideal), and the technique (cult), established for
realizing the satisfactory life. A change in any of these factors
results in alteration of the outward forms of religion. This fact
explains the changefulness of religions through the centuries. But
through all changes religion itself remains constant in its quest for
abiding values, an inseparable feature of human life.
Today man's
larger understanding of the universe, his scientific achievements, and
deeper appreciation of brotherhood, have created a situation which
requires a new statement of the means and purposes of religion. Such a
vital, fearless, and frank religion capable of furnishing adequate
social goals and personal satisfactions may appear to many people as a
complete break with the past. While this age does owe a vast debt to the
traditional religions, it is none the less obvious that any religion
that can hope to be a synthesizing and dynamic force for today must be
shaped for the needs of this age. To establish such a religion is a
major necessity of the present. It is a responsibility which rests upon
this generation.
It should come as no surprise that most of the signatories were Unitarians and other adherents to liberal religion.
The Second Humanism Manifesto opened up Humanism to the non-religious:
Many kinds of humanism exist in the contemporary world. The varieties
and emphases of naturalistic humanism include "scientific," "ethical,"
"democratic," "religious," and "Marxist" humanism. Free thought,
atheism, agnosticism, skepticism, deism, rationalism, ethical culture,
and liberal religion all claim to be heir to the humanist tradition. Humanism traces its roots from ancient China, classical Greece and
Rome, through the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, to the scientific
revolution of the modern world. But views that merely reject theism are
not equivalent to humanism. They lack commitment to the positive belief
in the possibilities of human progress and to the values central to it.
Many within religious groups, believing in the future of humanism, now
claim humanist credentials. Humanism is an ethical process through which
we all can move, above and beyond the divisive particulars, heroic
personalities, dogmatic creeds, and ritual customs of past religions or
their mere negation.
Now that's something we can all get behind.
