Is Freemasonry a religion?No, Freemasonry is not a religion. Masons who treat it as such are mistaken. Freemasonry strongly encourages its members to belong to an established religion, although that is not a requirement for membership (only that a candidate profess a belief in a Supreme Being). Masonry is a fraternal organization that encourages morality and charity and studies philosophy. It has no clergy, no sacraments, and does not promise salvation to its members.
But what about terms like "Temple," "Worshipful," and so on?Labor unions meet in a Labor Temple. A museum may be called the Temple of Fine Arts. This does not mean that they are religious institutions. The same is true of Freemasonry. (Masonic buildings are also called Lodge Halls and Masonic Centers as well as Masonic Temples. Some Scottish Rite buildings are called "Cathedrals," but that is from a Greek word meaning "chair," and referring to the seat of authority of any sort.)
The term "worshipful" stems from 18th century English usage, when Freemasonry in its present form was being organized. The term has nothing to do with religious worship but is an old synonym for "honorable" or "respected." Check any good dictionary!
Similarly, Freemasons engage in group prayer and have a chaplain, just as do the armed services and the houses of Congress. That does not make Masonry into a religion.
Is there a conflict between Freemasonry and established religion?There is nothing in Freemasonry that conflicts with most religions. However, Freemasonry does insist on religious tolerance. To the extent that certain religious groups would wish to suppress other religions or persecute their followers, Freemasons would be in opposition to such activities, and adherents of such groups would be both uncomfortable and unwelcome in Masonry. It is also the case that certain religious groups are misinformed about Freemasonry and believe things about the Fraternity that are not true; basing their opinions on this false information, they then formulate opinions that create conflict.
Is Freemasonry a cult?That depends on what is meant by "cult." By some definitions, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are cults. By another definition, golfing, bowling, and surfing the Internet are cults. But in the usual use of the term, referring to a group that separates itself from society and its members from their non-member friends, demands slavish obedience from its adherents, engages in brainwashing techniques, confiscates their resources, and sees itself in opposition to established society, absolutely not!
Quite the opposite, in fact: Masonry does not recruit members, does not compel attendance at any of its meetings, charges modest dues and fees (some little changed from sixty years ago, when the dollar was worth a lot more), encourages community service and participation in civic and religious organizations, and allows any member to quit (demit) at any time (providing he has no outstanding financial obligations; otherwise, he is liable to be suspended, but in either case, he would no longer be a member). It is easier to get out of Masonry than it is to get into it!
For information on a real cult, learn about the Church of Scientology.
Why do certain fundamentalist groups oppose Freemasonry?Mostly out of ignorance and misinformation, although possibly out of fear of competition for time and attention with the church (churches have been suffering the same loss of active membership over the past few decades as has Freemasonry). Ignorance of Masonry allows misinformation to spread. For example, it is claimed that Freemasonry has a "plan of salvation" that is in opposition to that of the Christian Church. Simply not true; nothing in any of the Masonic degrees refers to salvation.
Is there no Masonic theology, then?An examination of the the degrees will reveal that there is a basic theology of Masonry, as follows:
There is a Supreme BeingThese five points are supported by material in the lectures and related contents of the degrees, such as the discourses on the Working Tools. But there is nothing in these points that is in conflict with any major religion of the Western world. (To be sure, there are branches of Buddhism that are non-theistic, and there are those who do not believe in an afterlife, but they need not become Freemasons, nor does Masonry seek to dissuade them from their beliefs.)
What about allegations that Freemasonry is Satanic or pagan?Most of these are complete fabrications; the rest are misunderstandings of the institution and its rituals. A number of forgeries and alleged exposes of Masonry were created during the last century. Most of the claims of "Satanism" in Masonry can be traced to one or two of these fraudulent sources. Other such allegations are simply made-up claims about what various Masonic emblems and symbols stand for.
For example, it is sometimes claimed that the letter "G" found in the Master Mason's jewel, along with the Square and Compasses, is a substitute for a phallic symbol. But there is nothing in Masonry to support such a statement; it is complete fiction. The letter "G" stands for God (it is used by Masons who speak other languages due to the modern origins of Masonry in English-speaking countries); in the Scottish Rite, the Hebrew letter yodh, which is the first letter of the Tetragrammaton, or Ineffable Name, plays the same role.
Another example that came up recently was a discussion of the Blazing Star. This is one of the "ornaments" of a Lodge, introduced in the Entered Apprentice degree. A non-Mason insisted that
Assertions about "pagan" material in Masonry may stem from the study of material from the ancient world in some of the degrees. But this is not paganism (the worship of idols, natural objects, or polytheistic human-like deities). In fact, many of the early teachings of the Church depended heavily on the works of such "pagan" philosophers as Plato and Aristotle; Christianity has absorbed such pagan elements as the Christmas tree, the name Easter (from a pagan fertility goddess), and the actual date of Christmas (pre-empting the Roman's pagan winter solstice festival of the Saturnalia). This was done to make it more "comfortable" for pagans--first the Romans, and later the northern Europeans--to convert to Christianity, without having to give up observances they found important. Other dates of Church festivals which have been used to pre-empt pagan observances include:
If Masonry is so aboveboard, why is it "secret?"There are fewer secrets to Freemasonry than most non-members imagine; even many Masons are not entirely clear on what is and is not secret in Masonry. The moral principles of Masonry are the same as those taught you in Sunday school or at your mother's knee (sometimes over it!); it is only the exact procedures and words by which those principles are taught in Masonry that are secret, for it is the knowledge of those that distinguishes a Mason from those who are not members. To be entitled to the fellowship peculiar to the Lodge, a Mason must be able to identify himself, and these secrets provide the means for doing so.
For a longer discussion of the value and purpose of secrecy, refer to my article from the Scottish Rite Journal in 1988 titled "Why Secrecy?"
A better term than "secrecy" would be privacy. Masonry is not a public organization like a school board or a city council. It is an association of private citizens, just like a country club or a church. No one who is not a member has a right to know about the internal workings of any of these things. They are private to the group, not "secret."
What about "blood oaths" and hideous penalties of the degrees?It is true that Masons must take solemn obligations to be faithful to the principles of Masonry, and their very nature and seriousness implies that there should be penalties. However, the language of these obligations makes it clear that the penalties are not actually inflicted by the Lodge or any body of Masonry but are expressions of how disgraced and contemptible one should feel for violating such an obligation. In some jurisdictions, the candidate is told that the penalties are of "ancient origin and symbolic only." Later degrees make this even more apparent, even if the actual information is not specifically addressed to the candidate. But the true penalties for violation of the laws of Masonry are three only: Admonition (or reprimand), suspension, or expulsion. Stories about Masons being maimed or murdered for violation of their oaths are just that: fiction. Not one single instance can be documented, despite the many attempts by the enemies of Masonry to promote this slander.
For a longer discussion of the value and purpose of penalties in Masonry, refer to my article from the Scottish Rite Journal in 1989 titled "Masonic Penalties"
Masons say one thing, anti-Masons say another--whom should I believe?This question came up on Usenet recently. Here, slightly edited, is the answer your present author posted:
In article <firstname.lastname@example.com>, Etherman <email@example.com> wrote:

A reasonable point. What you might want to do is investigate the history and character of both groups and see which of them is more likely to be credible.
The history of Freemasonry is well documented, and its major players include a vast number of contributors to society--men such as Washington, Truman, and Churchill in politics, Goethe, Schiller, and Conan Doyle in literature, Burl Ives, Ernest Borgnine, Gene Autry in the performing arts, Mozart, Haydn, and Irving Berlin in music, and on and on. Freemasons played essential roles in the civilization of the New World, taming the west (Kit Carson was a Freemason), freeing Latin America (Bolivar was a Mason, as was Bernardo O'Higgins), and so on. Freemasons have established a vast array of charitable activities, primarily focussing on the health field, such as the famous Shriners' Children's Hospitals for treatment of orthopedic problems and burns, the Scottish Rite speech disorder clinics, the Masonic cancer centers, the Tall Cedars' activities for muscular dystrophy, and many others. Not to mention homes for the aged and even dormitory accomodations at the University of Texas.
Among the anti-Masons, one can count a single president of the US, John Quincy Adams (thirteen presidents were Masons), two literary figures (Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens--and it is not clear whether Dickens was really an anti-Mason, or one who simply felt that the Masons of his time were not living up to their standards and were therefore hypocrites), and almost no one else of any consequence in history or who has made a significant contribution to the humanities. The anti-Masons operate no charitable groups but engage in fund-raising only to support themselves: They sell books for profit, seek donations to keep their "ministries" operating on television, and contribute nothing to society at large.
All of this is a matter of public record; these facts do not depend on one's ability to determine who is telling the truth. Further, we have the experience of history to teach us what to believe of a group of "anti-" somethings, whether they are anti-Semites, anti-Catholics, or anti-Masons. That historical experience has shown that those who single out a group, especially one different from the majority in society, for opprobrium and hatred are generally not telling the truth about that group, but are seeking to benefit themselves from stirring up the passions of the mob.
In other words, if we knew nothing of the Masons nor of the anti-Masons, it would be difficult to know whom to believe. But we are not so ignorant as that. There are plenty of epistemological reasons to choose to believe that Masons are telling the truth in the present context, as opposed to accepting the word of the anti-Masons. (E.g., one epistemological principle is known as Occam's Razor--it tells us to accept the simplest hypothesis that explains the known facts. The anti-Masons, when confronted with their own contradictions, pile on ever more assumptions. Prove that "Lucifer" is not mentioned in the Symbolic Rite of the first three degrees and they will assert that it is the Scottish Rite that teaches "devil worship." Prove that there is no such thing in the 32 degrees, and they will claim it is taught in the 33rd degree. A denial by a 33rd degree Mason will lead to the attribution of Satanism to the Knights Templar. And so on. The simpler hypothesis is that there is no such Satanic nonsense in Freemasonry--given the conflict of assertions, Occam's Razor directs us to this choice.) The anti-Masons also engage in circular reasoning: They claim that there is a great "Masonic conspiracy" to control the world. Absent any evidence of that, they claim that the very lack of evidence is "proof" of the power of the conspiracy. (Too many Oliver Stone movies? Of course, even Congressmen have engaged in such reasoning, as in the case of the "October surprise" investigation, when Tom Foley suggested that the very lack of evidence was what justified a Congresional hearing. An inability to reason against one's own prejudices is not unique to the anti-Masons.)
Anti-Masons, in discussing some of the more inflammatory allegations about Masonry, such as the worship of satanic or pagan gods, also assert that the vast majority of Masons are totally ignorant of the "real" nature of Masonry, which is revealed only to a few "high" Masons. Yet these anti-Masons insist that they themselves know these hidden secrets better than most of the millions of active members of the Masonic fraternity. Is this a credible state of affairs?
In other words, there are very good reasons to believe that Masons, rather than anti-Masons are telling the truth about the Fraternity, based on the history of Freemasonry, the known character of those who have been Freemasons, and the principles of epistemology. Of course, if one is ignorant of the history and background of a witness, as well as ignorant of the theory of knowledge, one is at the mercy of every smooth-talking mountebank and charlatan to come along. (Why do you think that criminal defense lawyers seek the most uninformed jurors possible?)
A recent (Mon Aug 9 1999) update: In addition to spreading false stories about the nature and intentions of Freemasonry in print media, television and radio programs, and Internet venues, the past few months have seen an escalation of anti-Masonic activity of an active nature on the Internet. Anti-Masons have engaged in several forms of Net abuse, including multiple repeated postings to Usenet of the same material (a dozen or more times), postings to large numbers of Usenet newsgroups, and combinations of these. Within the past week or so, one anti-Mason in Australia with administrator privileges has begun issuing *CANCEL* requests for postings by Freemasons to alt.freemasonry and replacing those messages with forgeries of the originals containing obscenities, incoherencies, and so on. Examination of the full message headers reveals these posts to have originated at telstra.net, near Canberra, and not with the ISPs of the reputed senders. Since anti-Masons uniformly use anonymous posting methods and never appear under their own names or identities, closing down their accounts takes time.
The evidence of those actions can be found at what used to be known as Deja News. Anti-Masons frequently allege that Masons are part of some worldwide criminal conspiracy; when they are caught doing the same, what does it mean for the credibility of their accusations? And why would anyone take the word of a source or group of sources that choose to be anonymous.
No, the matter of whom to believe is not one which requires hard thought to resolve.
Why Can't Christians Pray in Lodge?Of course Christians can pray in Lodge! What they may not do is offer a specifically Christian prayer as Lodge prayer, any more than a Jew or Muslim may offer a prayer specific to his religion.
The reason for this is that it is the custom of Masonry to require all to participate in and assent to Lodge prayer. How can it be proper for a Christian to require non-Christians to assent to a prayer peculiar to his own religious belief? No Christian would assent to a prayer offered by a Jew or Muslim which essentially denied the doctrine of the Trinity. Because a Lodge acts in unison, prayers offered in Lodge must be of a nature that will be agreed to by all present.
To be sure, some Christians believe that only prayers given in a particularly Christian form are truly prayers. These people cannot become Freemasons because they do not subscribe to the principles of religious toleration required of Masons. But most Christians do not hold these exclusive beliefs and have no objections to the form of prayer offered in the Masonic Lodge.
Is Freemasonry anti-Catholic?No. Masonry has no objection to the admission of a Catholic to the Masonic fraternity. Whether the Roman Catholic Church objects to a Catholic becoming a Freemason is their business, not ours. Masonry would not counsel anyone to do something opposed by his religion. The present position of the Church regarding Freemasonry is not altogether clear; some sources indicate that the Vatican remains opposed to any form of Freemasonry, others say that only those organizations which "plot against the Church" (which Masonry does not) are proscribed, and others see no problem. This is a matter for any individual Catholic who might be interested in joining the Masons and his spiritual advisor.
There is material in some of the degrees of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry which might be interpreted as anti-Catholic, particularly with reference to the history of the Knights Templar and the death of Jacques DeMolay. But those events occurred nearly 700 years ago! The Church of today is not the Church of the 14th century. The Church itself has recognized that leaders of those times made errors of various sorts; one need only look to the 20th century canonization of Joan of Arc, burned in the 15th century as a heretic, or the rehabilitation of Galileo, forced in the 17th century to recant his scientific studies, to recognize this. The degrees of Masonry make no mention of the Church in any other than remote historical context.
Freemasonry is the enemy of tyranny and despotism, not of any particular religion or nationality. If the Church were to fall into the hands of the heartless and rapacious, as it did in earlier times (the days of the Borgias and the Medicis, not to mention Torquemada), it would be as much the duty of every Catholic to denounce such behavior as it would be for Freemasons--and modern-day Martin Luthers.
What is the role of various doctrinal books, like Pike's Morals and Dogma?Actually, there are no "doctrinal" books in Freemasonry. Freemasonry is a society dedicated to free thinking and freedom of all kinds. No Mason has the right to dictate to another what he shall or shall not believe regarding his religion, his politics, or even his interpretation of the Masonic symbols. There are a number of conventional interpretations of the symbols of Freemasonry, some of which are given in the lectures of the degrees, but no Mason is required to accept any or all of them; he is free to explore the world of thought and make up his own mind.
Anti-Masons are fond of combing through Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma to find various passages that somehow "expose" the "secrets" of Freemasonry's dangerous beliefs. They conveniently ignore a number of facts:
I've read the ritual in an exposé; what is all this strange stuff?Remember that Masons solemnly pledge to keep the ritual secret. An "exposé" is the product of someone who has broken a promise to his friends and neighbors and to God. Can you really trust that such a person is telling you the truth?
Masonry must be experienced to be understood; reading the ritual does not truly confer the lessons of the degrees, even for those of us who have the real ritual (and not some "exposé"). Masonry is a way of life that involves much more than the ceremonies of the degrees. Knowing a password or secret handshake is not what makes a man a Mason. The essence of Masonry is not something that can be written down.
Is Masonry some kind of global conspiracy?The simplest answer is "no." But that is not a very satisfying answer for those who have heard many preposterous rumors about Masonry, the "New World Order," the Bavarian Illuminati, and so on. Let's look at some of the issues that have been raised:
You said that Masonry was not a religion and had no priests, but you just mentioned a Grand High Priest--what gives?At the time of the return from the Babylonian exile, some of the legendary events of which are commemorated by the Royal Arch Degree, Jeshua, Zerubbabel, and Haggai were the High Priest, King, and Scribe among the Israelites. The important roles played by these individuals led to their positions being used to designate the three principal officers of the Royal Arch Chapter. The title "High Priest" is used by the presiding officer of a Royal Arch Chapter in the United States of America. In other countries, the title King is assigned to the presiding officer, and the High Priest is a subordinate officer; anti-monarchist sentiment in the US at the time the Royal Arch degrees were becoming established in America (late 1700s) led to the primary role being assigned to the High Priest, which was also consonant with the American notion of the state being subordinate to the Deity. In some foreign jurisdictions, the designations of the first three officers are simply First, Second, and Third Principal, with no reference to the historical roles of the individuals commemorated in the degree ceremonies.
The High Priest of a Royal Arch Chapter (and likewise the Grand High Priest of a Grand Chapter and the General Grand High Priest of the General Grand Chapter) performs no sacerdotal functions; his office is the equivalent of those of Worshipful Master of a Lodge, Illustrious Master of a Council, Eminent Commander of a Commandery, and so on. Like all Masonic bodies, a Royal Arch Chapter has a Chaplain (in Scottish Rite Masonry, the office is termed "Prelate") who is responsible for offering prayer at the opening of a meeting. The Excellent High Priest is responsible for administration of his Chapter's business and conduct of its ritual.
Though it has Commanders, Masonry has no army; though it has officers titled "High Priest," Masonry is not a religion. The High Priest is not a priest, paradoxical as that may sound; he is a chairman or president in fact, if not in name.
Why do Masons want to hoodwink people?This is a misunderstanding arising from the use of archaic language in Masonry when modern meanings are different from what they were a couple of centuries ago. (E.g., "let" used to mean "hinder"--which it still does in tennis, but for most usages, it means the exact opposite: to allow or permit.)
"Hoodwink" comes from two words, "hood" (meaning to cover, when used as a verb) and "wink" (an archaic term for the eye). Thus, "to hoodwink" means to cover the eyes, originally. At the time when this word was adopted by Freemasonry (the early 18th century or before), this was its primary meaning.
Since that time, it has come to be synonymous with the phrase "pull the wool over the eyes," which is to say "to deceive." The word, however, is just as often used as a noun in Masonry as a verb, and when used as a verb is accompanied by the action of using a blindfold (the modern term for a hoodwink), making its meaning clear at the time.
The word "hoodwink" has only one meaning in a Masonic context, and that
is "blindfold." It is only anti-Masons who hope to deceive others
(should I have said "hoodwink others?") who claim, dishonestly, that
Masons use the term "hoodwink" with the meaning of "deception."
In more recent usage, dating from well after the language of Masonry became fixed, the term "profane" was most often coupled with the term "language," to denote speech which would not have been uttered inside a temple or other sacred precincts. Gradually, this became the most common application of "profane" and, in the popular mind, became its only meaning. "Profane" became a synonym for swearing, cursing, and blasphemy, all of which are now called "profanity."
But when a Mason refers to "profanes" or the "profane" world, he means
only those who are not initiated into Masonry and thus must remain
"outside the temple." Nothing more; no insult is intended.
More to the point is the fact that Mozart only wrote the music for the opera. The actual text of the opera (the libretto) was written by Emanuel Schikaneder, who also played the role of Papageno in the opera's premiere. Schikaneder was indeed a Mason, but there is no evidence of him dying at the hands of his brother Masons, early or otherwise!
Finally, the opera does not reveal any Masonic "secrets." It is set in what appears to be ancient Egypt (Freemasonry originated in England in late mediaeval or early modern times) and depicts ceremonies which were characteristic of many ancient "mystery" systems. The rituals and identification signs of Freemasonry simply do not occur in The Magic Flute. Some of the teachings of Masonry--the importance of wisdom, the symbolism of knowledge by light, and so on--are presented in the opera, but these are hardly secret.
The idea that Mozart was assassinated by his Masonic Brothers is just one more example of anti-Mason lunacy. It isn't true; knowing the facts about Mozart, his opera, and Freemasonry makes it completely unbelievable.

The 14-1 French raider sprinted clear of a quality field to triumph in the contest he won two years ago.
First Gold, ridden by Thierry Doumen and trained by his father Francois, was taken out of the Grand National to concentrate on this race.
And he showed all his old class as he controlled matters from the front, with Lady Cricket 14 lengths back in second.
Commanche Court was a further three-quarters of a length away in third, with favourite Valley Henry never a danger.
"It felt like the real First Gold," the jockey told BBC TV afterwards.
His father said it had been hard work to get the horse, winner of the King George VI Chase in 2000, back to form.
"The horse was not very well, so I'm pleased it has worked," said Francois.

A marijuana brownie may end the college career of Georgia defensive back Bacarri Rambo.
Rambo is reportedly facing a four-game suspension for a positive drug test. His high school coach, Alan Ingram, told the Athens Banner-Herald.
According to Ingram, Rambo tested positive after eating a brownie while on spring break with his friends.
"Some kids had them that were staying with him and he said he got high," Ingram told the paper. "He thought the things had marijuana in them. He sat there a couple of hours and didn't know what to do. He said he if he turned himself in he'd get a four-game suspension for a second offense."
Rambo was suspended for last year's season opener against Boise State. Another violation would force him to miss four games in 2012.
The senior plans to appeal. If it is denied, he could consider entering the NFL's supplemental draft.
A suspension would be the latest blow to Georgia's defense that was expected to be one of the nation's top units. Rambo was fifth on the team with 55 tackles and also had eight interceptions. He could be one of four starters to miss time early in the season.
Defensive back Sanders Commings is already suspended two games. He plead guilty to misdemeanor charges of simple battery and disorderly conduct last week.
Defensive back Branden Smith could miss one game after being arrested and charged with marijuana possession.
Starting linebacker Alec Ogletree also reportedly is facing a multiple-game suspension.

A Committed Life
For as long as she can remember, Dr. Beth Karlan has been driven to answer one elusive question: what is the difference between a normal cell and a cancerous cell? While the question is common among medical researchers, Karlan's progress in discovering at least a partial answer has been both heartening and a continuing stimulus to continue the search.
As the director of the Gilda Radner Ovarian Cancer Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Karlan is heavily involved in both biological research and clinical care. The author of more than 100 research articles, abstracts, book chapters and reviews, Karlan began conducting ovarian cancer research at Cedars in 1987. By the time she was 34, in 1991, she had already been named as the director of the new Radner Program, named for comedienne Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer and who was treated for the disease at Cedars. In addition, Karlan is also director of Cedars' Division of Gynecologic Oncology and associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the UCLA School of Medicine.
Ovarian cancer kills more women than all other gynecologic cancers combined, and the five-year survival rate has remained approximately 30 percent for more than 30 years — this despite major advances in surgical and chemotherapeutic techniques. Only one in four cases of ovarian cancer is diagnosed early enough to offer a good chance at being cured. Because the disease usually has no symptoms until it has metastasized throughout the abdomen, early diagnosis has been tough to achieve.
"We began the program with the hopes of finding better ways to diagnose this cancer at an earlier stage and to improve the chances for survival," Karlan said. To that end, the program conducts laboratory research, clinical trials, educational symposia for the public and medical communities, screenings for women at increased risk due to family histories of cancer, and cutting-edge cancer care for patients. Although the program's focus is not on the "Jewish link" to ovarian cancer, Karlan and her colleagues, including researchers at the University of Toronto, are involved in a project to try to determine just how often a particular gene — the BRCA1 gene — is abnormal in women of Ashkenazi Jewish descent who have already developed ovarian cancer. The carrier frequency of both the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene is 10 times greater among Ashkenazi women than in the general population, Karlan said. This means that 2.5 percent of Jewish women carry a mutation of either gene, as opposed to a likelihood of only .25 percent in the general population. This does not mean that every woman who has the abnormal gene will develop ovarian cancer. "You can have the mutation but not the disease," Karlan explained, "because the gene has what we call 91 incomplete penetrance. In other diseases, such as Tay-Sachs, the likelihood of getting the disease once the mutation is present is nearly 100 percent."
There are, in fact, entire textbooks and medical conferences centered on the issue of "Jewish genetic diseases." "The fact that Jews have remained a relatively confined segment of the population has allowed certain recessive genes to become expressed, such as the cancer genes," said Karlan, who graduated magna cum laude from Harvard-Radcliffe College and earned her medical degree from Harvard Medical School. In cystic fibrosis, Karlan noted, one of the most common mutations of the gene responsible for the disease is frequently found among Ashkenazi Jews, while other mutations of the cystic fibrosis gene are found in the general population. Gaucher's disease and APC, a form of colon cancer, also tend to strike Jews with a frequency out of proportion to their numbers. (Karlan noted that the issue of "Jewish genetic diseases" is extremely touchy to many in the Jewish community, who fear that any discussion of such a phenomenon can become fodder for anti-Semites making claims of Jewish genetic inferiority.)
Currently, Dr. Karlan is focusing her research on understanding the genetic alterations that define the pattern of growth and biology of ovarian cancer. Her laboratory has been performing pre-clinical studies on p53 gene therapy. P53 is a tumor suppresser gene, which is the most frequently altered gene involved in all human cancers. "We are actively enrolling women with refractory ovarian cancer to participate in a p53 gene therapy clinical trial at the same time that we are studying the effectiveness of this therapy in mice," Karlan said.
Efforts to identify ways to reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer remain at the forefront for Dr. Karlan and her colleagues. Much is already known. For example, women's birth control and reproductive patterns clearly have an impact — but it's less clear how. Dr. Karlan noted that studies have shown that birth control pills taken over a number of years before menopause significantly reduces the risk of developing ovarian and uterine cancers. "It's a linear relationship," Karlan said. "Each year a woman takes the pill, it further reduces her risk." However, multiple pregnancies also reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, as well as bilateral tubal ligation, which reduces the ovarian cancer risk by two-thirds.
Karlan's work at Cedars is only slightly more consuming than her commitments while not wearing a white lab coat. Married to Dr. Scott Karlan, a general surgeon at Cedars, Karlan is also a mother committed to spending time with her son, Matthew, and daughter, Jocelyn, going to little league games, rollerblading by the beach, planning her son's bar mitzvah, and "spending time as a family." Her day begins at 5 a.m., when she works out at home before packing lunches for her kids and signing notes for the backpacks. "It's the only time I get a little peace to myself," she said. "I use that time to process what needs to get done that day."
Karlan, who was recently named "Mother of the Year" by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Helping Hand of Los Angeles, also lectures at numerous professional meetings and has been a visiting professor at the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, the MD Anderson Cancer Institute, Stanford and UCLA. "I pack in a lot of frequent flier miles, but can use them to enjoy vacations with my family," Karlan said. In fact, last January Karlan, who was invited to speak at an international cancer symposium in Tel Aviv, took her husband, children and mother (who had never been to Israel) along for the trip.
Karlan would love to try to expand the number of scientists focusing on ovarian cancer at Cedars, "so that we can advance the field more quickly and reach out to more people. If we had even half the amount of money for ovarian cancer as we have for breast cancer, we could make much greater forward strides," she said. But an even bigger goal is to enjoy all aspects of her life: "I want to be there for my kids, for my husband, and still maintain the level of excellence professionally that I have come t o expect from myself."
And, one day, perhaps, to develop a cure for ovarian cancer — a silent and deadly killer.

Pontiac Problems? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Welcome to JustAnswer, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm here to help get your problem resolved. Ask follow up questions, thanks.
Have you checked for spark or tried to start it with starting fluid?
It could be in failsafe but if this was the case your security light would be flashing....I'd also remove the oxygen sensors on manifold to see if that helps....If its a security problem do the following procedure:
Bump key in start position for a second then leave in on position for 10 minutes, off for 5 seconds, on for 10 minutes, off for 5 seconds, on for 10 minutes, then start.
So it seems to run good now? Does the check engine light ever flash? thanks.

Not Running With MJD
While I appreciate the fact that Maurice Jones-Drew (MJD) selected himself in the first round of the SiriusXM celebrity draft the other week, there is no way I will follow suit. Signed in the offseason by the Oakland Raiders, MJD is hoping to split carries with the Raiders' current starting RB, Darren McFadden (DMC). DMC has a rich history of injuries, while MJD is on a downward spiral at 29 years old. The reports say that they might share the workload, each getting about 200 carries this season. I don't think that will happen. In fact, the guy I am targeting in the Oakland backfield is Latavius Murray. Murray is bigger than both MJD and DMC and can run a 4.4 forty provided his foot has fully recovered from last year's injury. Take Murray and pass on the Alpha Bits.
A Giant Mess
The New York Giants' running game took a big hit recently when third-year RB David Wilson got a stinger in practice after undergoing spinal-fusion surgery. This may be the final nail in the coffin for Wilson's career as team doctors are recommending that he retire.
This leaves Rashad Jennings, Peyton Hillis and Andre Williams as the last men standing in the backfield. There is talk that Williams, the rookie from Boston College, may be the new goal-line back for the G-Men. This is potentially good news for those of you in TD-only leagues. However, for those of you in PPR formats, Williams is a huge risk. His pass-catching skills are worse that the Giants thought (he caught zero passes last year in college) and he looks lost as blocker. Perhaps a sneaky pick here in deeper leagues is Peyton Hillis. Hillis can run, block and catch. He probably will go in the last two or three rounds of your draft too. He is a flier who might just pay off.

August 7, 2009
For more than a year now, oil speculators have been in the cross hairs of Congress, regulators and even oil traders, who blame them for $4-a-gallon gas last year. But as oil funds have started to dump shares, they have helped to tame costs, says the Associated Press (AP).
The U.S. Oil Fund, the first exchange-traded fund of its kind, allows anyone to participate in energy markets without having to find a place to stash a 42-gallon barrel of oil or other commodities like natural gas. Since it was founded, the volume of trades made on the New York Mercantile Exchange has exploded, backed by billions of investor dollars.
Instead, of sending oil prices spiking or tumbling, the funds may actually have an elastic effect on markets, pulling prices up from severe lows and highs, says the AP:
- Economists show that investors in the widely tracked Standard & Poor's GSCI index and the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Indexes don't drive energy prices.
- In fact, index traders bought fewer oil contracts when prices spiked last year, and they bought more when prices started to plunge in the fall.
- As a result, they may have kept energy prices from skyrocketing even higher last year and plunging even further in January.
Yet, opinions about the affect of index funds remain sharply divided, says the AP:
- Critics advocate getting rid of the funds saying that they don't serve much of a purpose and are not trading on supply and demand.
- But speculators say that it's not realistic to expect energy commodities to behave in a rational way.
Nevertheless, the influx of speculators has fundamentally changed the way oil is traded. The influx of money may actually have helped prevent a collapse in crude prices that could have led oil companies to cut spending on exploration and production, says the AP.

Jannah Devine
Anticipated graduation year: 2012
Major: Music Ministry
Hometown: Livingston, Mont.
Whitworth activities/clubs: Whitworth Choir
Favorite book: At the moment, The Horse and His Boy, by C.S. Lewis
Favorite music: Authentic country/bluegrass, followed very closely by jazz
Favorite food: Mashed potatoes with lumps and peanut butter...but not together
Favorite thing about Whitworth: The people. I love how friendly campus is because it reminds me of home where we wave to pretty much EVERYONE.
Favorite thing about Spokane: All the opportunities. I come from a very small town, so it is so cool how much stuff there is going on. It's fun having access to so many great music concerts and other arts and community events. Also, a lot of them have really good student pricing, which is pretty great.
I like my major because... I LOVE music! There was never any doubt that music would somehow be a part of my life. I still don't know what I'm going to do with my major, but I know that I love being able to use this gift in a way that brings glory to God and allows me to worship Him with something that I feel so deeply.
Why I chose to attend Whitworth: I was set on attending a state school until my mom talked me into going and visiting a few other schools. I picked a few in Washington because I like the state and it was close enough to plan a quick trip. Whitworth was the second school we visited and I got on campus and felt right at home. I just got a feeling that this was where I was going to go and nothing else would come close.
Advice for incoming students: At the beginning, it's easy to get overwhelmed and just caught up in nerves and anxiety. Jump right in, though, and have a lot of fun. There are lots of things going on. If you want to go to something or think it'll be interesting, go ahead and go, even if it's by yourself. You can meet new people there and Whitworth is truly one of the friendliest places ever. Get to know the professors, too. They mean it when they say they want to get to know you. They have so much encouragement and things to share with you.
What I plan to do after graduation: I have no idea. I am not planning on going to graduate school, so I will need to find some sort of job. At this time, I'm not exactly sure what I'd like to do, but I would like to fit some travel in there and eventually I'd like to open up a kind of music center for children, but that's all dreams and I might be led somewhere else. It'll be figured out when the time comes.

Creativity is necessary for the soul and, possibly, for the sanity of your right brain. The beauty of the internet is that you don't have to be a budding Rembrandt to unleash your 'art'.
Through the magic of StumbleUpon I discovered weavesilk.com, an interactive app that allows you to generate art at the flick of your mouse.
A new 9-5 that has brought with it senior responsibilities, longer hours and left brain activities has all but sapped my creative juices.
I leave my trusty 9-5 computer to spend an hour in a hunk of metal powered by a trusty VW computer, to plant myself in front of my less than trusty home computer; enough to make Van Gogh slice his other ear off….alas!
Still, whilst technology continues to dominate my every waking hour weavesilk.com gave me at least 15 minutes of childlike, spontaneous fun and although the psychometric output is still a little rooted in my 9-5 logic it's a welcome break for the weary creative.
Try it for yourself and unleash you art!

text: For the past year, Dr. Sugiyama has led an international group that has developed scenarios regarding the evolution of international agreements to mitigate climate change. The group's work has been presented in a variety of formats in Washington, Ottawa, Bonn, Hamburg, Oslo, Tokyo, Beijing, and Milan as well as in Berkeley. Currently, the group's activity is focusing on institutions for development, transfer and diffusion of technologies for mitigating climate change, particularly low-carbon energy supply and end-use technologies. Dr. Sugiyama will summarize the group's work to date, introduce the work currently underway, and then initiate a roundtable discussion on how to organize, encourage and fund multilateral activities to accelerate development and deployment of low-carbon technologies. Dr. Sugiyama will describe a potential framework for an East Asian regional energy conservation agreement, and encourage discussion regarding the incentives for putting together such an agreement and how it might relate to recent and current bilateral and multilateral activities, including bilateral and multilateral activities involving the US. Parallels between diffusion of climate-change mitigation technologies and other types of technology, and issues concerning scaling up will also be explored. Feedback and discussion from this seminar will help shape the group's report, to be released in late autumn this year. Dr. Sugiyama will be available for individual meetings after the seminar. Presentations and reports produced by the project are available in advance of the workshop from Jonathan Sinton (firstname.lastname@example.com).

BLACKSBURG, Va., Virginia Tech and the Town of Blacksburg have recently submitted a joint application named FutureForward Blacksburg for Google's Think Big with a Gig experiment to build ultra-high speed fiber to the home networks in a number of locations across the country. As part of the Town of Blacksburgs submittal, Virginia Tech Geospatial Information Sciences prepared a video that illustrates a number of applications that citizens, students, government officials, and businesses in the Town would be able to use if a gigabit Ethernet were made available to them.
Blacksburg currently has connectivity to national Tier One networks including Internet2 and National Lambda Rail; however, this high bandwidth capacity does not reach residential areas and apartment complexes. If Blacksburg is selected, Google proposes to bring gigabit fiber to the last mile, providing these users with Internet speeds 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today.
The video demonstrates how this extremely powerful Internet access could greatly enhance the towns planning and modeling capabilities, improve emergency response communications, and enhanced long-distance medical diagnosis. Virginia Tech and the Town communities could also receive shared benefits through next generation classrooms and teaching technologies, real-time online learning atmospheres, shared virtual reality environments for research and the arts, and 3-D routing and viewshed research.
Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger is featured in the video and commented how data rich environments and just-in-time information systems will be key to the success of Virginia Techs new college that is currently being planned. He described it as, highly experimental and will change the paradigm for undergraduate learning... We are going to change the way in which young people go about addressing and thinking about the problems they face in the future.
In his own video response (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpFxfxiHUSI), Rick Boucher, Virginia Representative and chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commissions technology and Internet subcommittee, spoke in favor of Blacksburg as a location for Google's project, "Blacksburg's accomplishments are compelling proof that they will make optimal use of this extraordinary infrastructure that Google proposes to build. I urge Google to give serious, favorable consideration to Blacksburg as the location for their fiber to the home testbed project."
The FutureForward Blacksburg video is available for viewing on Virginia Techs eCorridors program You Tube page. The creators of the video encourage those interested in seeing Blacksburg selected as part of this experiment to make their comments known by posting a comment on the videos page. The video can also be easily shared with other social networks by clicking the share link.
The mission of the eCorridors program at Virginia Tech is to facilitate and promote the ability for every person, organization, and community in Virginia and beyond to have the capability, at a reasonable cost, to produce and access high volume information and services in the networked world. More information on how eCorridors is working toward this objective is available at the program website (http://www.ecorridors.vt.edu).
Virginia Tech Geospatial Information Sciences is a geospatial initiative of Virginia Tech, a division of Information Technology's Strategic Partnership Initiatives and applies geospatial technologies and analytical methods in the areas of research and collaboration, safety and security, community broadband, energy and sustainability, health information technology, and lowering barriers to the use of GIS tools and data.

Hello, I'm sending the patch fixing the \r bug: On Wed, 31 May 2006, Tom Lane wrote: > The example that seriously sucks is: > > regression=# select foo ... > regression-# \r > Query buffer reset (cleared). > now control-P brings back: > regression=# select foo ... > \r In my fix the currently-written query is completely erased if \r is invoked. I think that's the most logic behavior. So, the example of work: wsdb=# select 1; ?column? ---------- 1 (1 row) wsdb=# select wsdb-# \r Query buffer reset (cleared). wsdb=# Control-P now brings back: wsdb=# \r Another Control-P brings back: wsdb=# select 1; > Also, \e is seriously broken: after you edit the text and exit the > editor, the text is not reloaded into the visible display (although it > does seem to still be "behind the scenes" somewhere). For that part, I currently do not see the possible fix, and I don't even think that it should be fixed, because there with current multi-line implementation there is no need for that. For example, when we do wsdb=# select 1+ wsdb-# And press Control-P , the string "select 1+" is not in the history, and there is no need for that. And in the case of \e editing, if in the external editor we have typed the incomplete query like "select 1+", the situation will be exactly the same and for the same reason... So, I don't think, that this require fixing. In principal, probably it is possible to fix that in a different way: Suppose we executed the \e command and in the external editor we typed "select 1 +". And after the exit from the editor, psql produce wsdb=# select 1 + (and put cursor in the end of the line). That can be reasonable (I'm not sure that it's possible to do that with readline, but should be). But I would consider that as a new feature (probably not very useful), not as a bug fix.

PETA Wants Criminal Charges Filed In Death Of Lake Superior Zoo Animals [VIDEO]
I am a huge animal lover. My friends even joke about how meticulous I am when someone is watching my dog for me and I present to them my manifesto of rules. I appreciate what PETA stands for, but I also know they sometimes do things just to keep their name in the press. I think this may be one of those occasions.

Geneva, 22 October 2013
Mr. President,
Fellow Delegates,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just now, the Chinese delegation had a constructive dialogue with other countries in an open, candid, inclusive and cooperative manner. We listened attentively to the statements of all countries. Most countries, developing countries in particular, fully recognized the tremendous efforts and achievements made by China in promoting and protecting human rights over the past four years, appreciated the difficulties and challenges China had faced as the biggest developing country in the world, and raised many constructive ideas and recommendations. Their statements reflected the spirit of objectivity, impartiality, equality, mutual understanding and respect, and their recommendations will serve as an important reference to our efforts to further advance the human rights cause with Chinese characteristics. On behalf of all the members of the Chinese delegation, including delegates from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, I wish to express heartfelt thanks to the relevant countries.
Of course, some countries expressed their concerns and criticized China's human rights situation. This is nothing strange. We will seriously consider and comprehensively study all the sincere, well-intentioned and workable ideas and recommendations, and gradually implement them in light of China's specific national conditions. It is regrettable that there are also comments based on misunderstanding and prejudices. We hope to strengthen communication and dialogue with those concerned to dispel their misconceptions and enhance our mutual understanding. More importantly, we hope that countries concerned evaluate and judge China's human rights situation in a more objective, comprehensive and impartial manner.
I would like to stress that the Chinese government is firmly committed to promoting and protecting human rights, and takes the UPR and other UN human rights endeavors seriously. After this session, we will seriously study the recommendations raised by other countries, come up with China's positions and responses in light of our national conditions, and give a feedback to the Human Rights Council on time. China stands ready to continue to actively engage in international exchanges and cooperation on human rights, and work with all countries to promote the sound development of the international human rights cause.
In closing, I wish to take this opportunity to express thanks to the President, troika, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Secretariat and countries concerned for their efforts to make the UPR on China a success.
Thank you, Mr. President.

that is because there is essentially no difference between a notebook

actually they just create notebook-windows with some of the many options

Well, here we are again. The yearly ritual known as the "BIRTHDAY."
This year I can't believe I'm, "45" .... AGAIN....!!
I'd like to thank EVERYONE who sent well wishes to me for my birthday, and EVERYONE who showed up at the Walk of Fame presentation last Friday the 21st. What a magic feeling it was to see you all again.

Seeing the guys in the band was a celebration just like the old days when music was what it was all about. When we were taking pictures in front of the star, Jon Cain was on my right. I said to him, "Do you know what that is down there on that side walk? That's some great songs. Congratulations Jon." Ross Valory was our cello of bass players. It's was fun watching him clowning again. It was really great to see Steve Smith and Aynsley Dunbar after all these years. What perfect drummers these guys were for the music of Journey. I told them both congratulations and that they both busted their asses for this. I told Neal congats' when we were standing there together making fun of "Heckle and Jeckle," or known to their fans as, Mark and Brian from KLOS.
Oh, and by the way, after M&B's on the AIR complete violation of my privacy and still never getting my number, I'd like to make one thing very clear. I thought about this award ceremony for a long time. For the longest time I thought it would be best that I not go, do to our re-break-up in May of 98. I knew it was going to be my decision and my decision ALONE and that no one could sway me into going or not going! After I decided to attend, on the morning of Jan. 20th I headed north to L.A. As I got closer, I turned on KLOS and heard M&B and what they were up to. I QUICKLY turned them OFF so I would still want to attend our event. I'm so glad I went. It was a real thrill to hear all those fans sing "Na Na's" and "Don't Stop Believin'" AND THEN, they sang Happy Birthday to me. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!
On Saturday the 22nd I went back to take another look at the star for my birthday and for all my departed relatives. As I was watching people looking at the star, I saw two girls hand their camera to a friend and then they quickly laid down on the sidewalk one on each side of the star. I jumped out of my hiding spot and asked, "Can I lay down, too?" At first they were shocked I was there, and then we took this picture. I took some more pix with a few more fans then figured I better hit the road back. It was a nice birthday.
Thanks for all the donations this year on behalf of my birthday!
I really want to thank ALL the fans all over the world that made the Hollywood Walk of Fame Star possible.......... It really belongs to you.
Thanks for making me a part of it.
All the very best to you and yours,
Steve Perry

Journey 1980 Japan Tour Jacket...
Dear Fans,
I've signed a Jacket which was owned by Jackie Villanueva. Jackie was one of the most devoted and hardest working guys in our road crew from the very early years through the time that I was in Journey. Through an old childhood friend named Larry, I met Jackie. Without them, I would have never met Journey's Manager, Herbie Herbert, and wouldn't have had the opportunity to become the lead singer of Journey. Jackie's brother, John Villanueva, has donated Jackie's Tour Jacket and I have signed it for this e-bay auction. All funds will be sent to the Kaiser Hospice Services who helped Jackie. This is a one of a kind "Japan Tour 1980" jacket. Thanks for your contributions.
Sincerely..........Steve Perry, June 30, 2005

I want to display a custom collection editor form when a user edits a custom collection in my server control. I have derived a class from CollectionEditor and it looks like I need to override CreateCollectionForm and return my custom form derived from CollectionEditor.CollectionForm. My question is then how do I interact with that form? How do I get my collection to edit into the form so that I can populate it, and then how do I get the changed values back to the CollectionEditor? I can't seem to find any good documentation on how this works. If anyone could point me at a good sample of providing a custom CollectionForm that would be probably all I need.
Thanks, Bill Reiss

They say they can manage without food but they are in dire need of waterproof tents or some form of shelter that can protect them against the elements.
Thousands of women and children are camped out in the open across the Bagh valley.
All along the road from Kohala to Bagh, survivors are lining the roads looking not for food or medicines but some form of shelter.
Volunteers bringing in relief supplies say they had not anticipated such a serious need for tents in the area.
Most of them have concentrated on food and medicines.
It started raining heavily at around midday local time on Tuesday and has been raining steadily ever since.
The weather is getting increasingly cold, particularly when night falls, and heavy cloud cover over the valley suggests the rain is not about to let up.
"My children have survived the quake but it looks like they are going to die of cold now," one resident in the village of Rangla said.
Road nightmare
The journey from Muzaffarabad to the town of Bagh - via a highly circuitous route because of horrid road conditions - should have taken 12 hours at the most.
Instead it has taken 20, and I am still not there.
Once we passed the Kohala bridge - which divides Punjab province from Pakistan-administered Kashmir - road conditions deteriorated instantly.
The last five hours were bone-jarring, as if I were a rattle in the hands of an unrelenting infant.
I have passed 17 villages now - most of the houses in each were razed to the ground.
In places, shops in small roadside bazaars have fallen onto the roads, blocking the way.
Particularly bad are the mountain passes, which army and private relief vehicles have struggled to get over for the past three days.
Somehow the human toll here in Bagh district does not seem to be as high as that in Muzaffarabad.
Thousands have died, surely, but the losses are spread out over a huge area covering hundreds of villages.
The difference, it seems, is concrete. Unlike concrete, the majority of the houses here are made of wood.
The roofs are made of tin. Even though most of these structures have collapsed, it was apparently possible for thousands who were trapped to wrestle their way out.
Curiously, in many places, the earthquake seems to have struck in patches.
A few houses down here, the next few there still standing - followed by another few that have collapsed.
The place has an eerie feel to it, as if a giant has walked through it - crushing everything that came underfoot.
There has been one critical breakthrough, though.
The massive relief effort co-ordinated in the public and private sectors across Pakistan seems to be coming through.
The roads may be bad but at least they are open.
Literally every third vehicle on the roads is a truck, wagon or a private car carrying relief goods from different parts of Pakistan.
In Rawalpindi on Monday night, I heard that thousands of tonnes of rations had been mobilised while even more are waiting for transport which seems to be in short supply.
Out here on the road, one can see that Pakistanis have turned out - men, women and children - to help the Kashmiris.
Thousands of young men from all over the country have taken time off from work or college and are bringing in relief goods.
Villagers' honesty
The mountainfolk in the Bagh valley have risen to the occasion, too.
Having lost their houses - and loved ones in many cases - no one is rushing to horde food.
Everywhere I have stopped, people have told me that they took what they needed and guided the relief vehicles to villages that are furthest from the main road network.
Relief workers - a vast majority of them with no experience of such situations - are simply overwhelmed by the simplicity and honesty of the villagers.
Tough young men break into tears when describing the locals' integrity.
An 18-year-old college student said the experience had taught him more than 10 cushy lifetimes ever could.
Another said he had come to understand Pakistan and Pakistanis better after the quake.
Yet another said he had only heard of Kashmir before this and wasn't particularly interested in Pakistan's conflict with India over this Himalayan region.
Now, he said, he was in love with the place and hoped to come and live here once the crisis was over.
