Rated PG-13
Callas Forever(2004) Franco Zeffirelli fictionalizes the golden days of Maria Callas, opera's most notorious and beloved diva, in this luminous tribute to one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. Fanny Ardant portrays the brilliant and impetuous Callas, coaxed out of her self-imposed exile by her long-time friend and former manager, Larry Kelly, to star in a film version of Carmen. The film project re-ignites her passion for performance and rekindles her friendship with Larry, long ago estranged by her difficult nature. The outstanding supporting cast includes Joan Plowright as a music critic and life-long friend of Callas, the smoldering Gabriel Garko as Callas, May-December leading man Don José, and dreamy newcomer Jay Rodan as Larry's artist boyfriend, Michael, who is inspired by Callas' recordings to create beauty. "You will go away devastated and raving about the great French actress Fanny Ardant as Callas. It's a titanic performance that redefines the term "tour de force." --Rex Reed, NY Observer "Sumptuous... a film that celebrates the sacredness of artistic integrity. Ardant's Callas is gorgeous. Ardant comes fully into her own in her portrayal of a great artist " --Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

UPDATE: Boise, Nov. 21, 2011 - Boise
Police have determined no citations will be issued 21 days after a
collision between a jogger and a pickup truck has the jogger still
According to investigating officers, the
pickup driver was not at fault considering the direction the jogger
was coming from, the darkness, no crosswalk and no traffic signal.
Tragically, the driver told officers he just didn't see the jogger
in the darkness. It appears the jogger, a Boise man in his 50's,
was crossing Glenwood Street outside a crosswalk at an uncontrolled
intersection, which is an infraction, Idaho State Code 49-704
(below) that carries a fine of $56.50.
Officers say considering the totality of
the circumstances, and that the jogger is still lying in a hospital
bed with serious injuries, it is not in the best interest of
justice to cite him. Officers say it seems extremely unlikely that
when this gentleman resumes his jogging, as it's hoped he does,
that he will repeat the same behavior. His experience may indeed be
a good reminder to others and may have already prevented similar
incidents. Officers are hoping for the man's quick
Original Release:
Boise, Oct. 31, 2011 - A man in his 50's
who was running with his dog and crossing Glenwood Street early
this morning is hospitalized with what officers say appear to be
life-threatening injuries after he was hit by a truck at Glenwood
and Crestwood Dr. Witnesses say it was dark, the intersection has
no signal light and traffic was heavy. The driver tells officers he
didn't see the jogger in the darkness.
What Happened:Officers were called to
Glenwood Street just north of Goddard Road at 7:10 a.m. Witnesses
tell officers the victim was jogging from west to east diagonally
across Glenwood with his dog and another runner toward a canal that
runs behind the nearby Fred Meyer store. The victim was hit by a
full size pick up truck traveling north on Glenwood.
Under Investigation:At this time,
further details remain under investigation. No citations have been
issued. Further information will be released as available.
Traffic Impact:The Boise Police Crash
Reconstruction Team remains on scene. Motorists in the area should
expect lane restrictions on Glenwood north of Goddard until about
10:30 a.m.

GRANTVILLE, PA… When Le Grand Jour won the first race at Penn National Race Course on August 30, 1972, a new era in sports entertainment arrived in Central Pennsylvania. And, for the past 38 years the thrills and excitement of live thoroughbred racing at the track has attracted many of the top equine and human stars in the game.
While racing on a national basis has shown significant declines in attendance and betting over the past decade, that trend hasn't been totally reflected at Penn National. When taking into account having hosted eight fewer live programs than the prior year, the slight decline in 2010 all-sources wagering handle at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course proved a positive sign compared to national figures for the racing industry.
Total all-sources handle was $206,478,943, a drop of 5.91% from 2009. Final national handle numbers showed a decline in overall wagering of 7.33%.
Track officials are optimistic that a change in the live racing schedule will help stimulate additional handle in 2011. Live racing will be hosted very Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday beginning at 5:00PM. The Monday and Tuesday night cards replace Wednesday and Thursday night action.
"Penn National will be one of the few thoroughbred signals available in North America on Monday and Tuesday nights, "said Mark Loewe, VP of Racing. "As always our focus is to continue to provide local fans an exciting racing show and large fields and to introduce that same excitement to many new simulcast and on-line players that could help grow our export handle."
For the first time in track history the top three riders in the 2010 local jockeys' colony all exceeded $2 million in purse earnings. Dana Whitney was the leader in all categories as he rode 154 winners from 915 mounts that banked $2,888,756. William Otero was second with 125 wins ($2,133,103) and David Cora third with 122 victories ($2,434,485).
Murray Rojas won her second local training crown in three years by saddling 85 winners from 487 starters. Stephanie Beattie was second with 78 local victories, and she finished 20th overall in the nation with 125 first-place finishers. Flint Stites was third with 61 wins, and his stable was the earnings leader at $1,406,879.
Nearly $1 million was distributed in the track's richest stakes schedule ever, and the $200,000 Pennsylvania Governor's Cup, richest and oldest stake on the annual calendar, had its 37th running in 2010. Its emerging position as a major race for world class turf sprinters was validated by 2010 winner Chamberlain Bridge. The six-year old defeated a quality field of multiple stakes-winners in the Governor's Cup in :55.06, and then established himself as world champion turf sprinter with a decisive win in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Sprint. The $100,000 Jennie Wade, distaff complement to the Governor's Cup, was won by New York invader Canadian Ballet for trainer Linda Rice.
Local racing fans were witness to another championship-quality performance when Quantum Miss won the $75,000 Blue Mountain Futurity for two-year old fillies by 16 lengths. Her final clocking of 1:09:78 produced the second highest Beyer Speed Figure in the nation for her division.

Photographs are an integral part to documenting any crime scene. Especially when it's used as evidence in court. Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey says, "Photo's is what sells it to a jury." "Everything has to be perfect and that's part of what the documentation piece is ... Is having really, really good photographic documentation," says William Green, CCFMTC Medical Director.
Roughly 20 nurses from five north state hospitals, gathered at the Chico Police and Fire Training Center for an extensive one-day forensic photography course. Oroville Hospital Nurse Deborah McIntyre says, "When you keep telling the same story over and over again things change. You document it in a certain way and that way the story doesn't change."
The training, organized by the California Clinical Forensic Medical Training Center, helps these nurses expand their current medical exams of sexual assault victims, by teaching them the proper way to document the evidence.

Yes the spelling on the SS5 was Lewis middle name Riley. George was supposedly born in OK, and I have no reason to doubt that as it shows up on the 1910 Census as such. Lewis however is not on the 1910 census and Mary is shown as a widow so Lewis must have died there, but so far no gravesite, nor death record has been found for him. We are planning to go back there sometime in the near future to see what we can dig up (g).

Seems to work ok for images/web. When searching for videos it still starts with moderate safe search on. You have to turn it off manually and THEN it appears to kick in.

Many thanks to the developer. Very useful tool, at least for those who are used to delete cookies, but want to search images without restraints and without clicking every time at the SafeSearch-button.
It always worked. But now unfortunately it doesn't work anymore :( I guess it's because Google has changed its appearance. So I would very appreciate it very much if you can develop an update. In any case, thank you very very much.

New York, Sep 17 (IANS) Criminals are far more likely to acquire guns from family and acquaintances than through theft, says a study.
"There are a number of myths about how criminals get their guns, such as most of them are stolen or come from dirty dealers. We did not find that to be the case," said Philip Cook, a professor at Duke University in Durham, US.
One study asked inmates of the Cook County Jail in Chicago how they obtained guns, while a second project analysed data that traced guns used in crimes.
The gun trace requests were submitted to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) by the Chicago Police Department from 2009 to 2013.
The researchers found that 60 percent of the respondents obtained guns through purchase or trade.
Most offenders obtained guns from personal connections, not from gun stores or through theft.
Most of the guns were old (11 years old on average), and criminals held onto the guns only for a short time, frequently less than a year.
Chicago gun laws prohibit selling guns to people with criminal records, or those under 21 years of age.
"Dirty dealers", who deliberately violate the law and sell to buyers who cannot pass a background check, accounted for less than five percent of the guns sold to gang members.
More than 60 percent of the crime guns were initially purchased out of state.
Meanwhile, 15 percent of new crime guns confiscated from a man were first purchased by a woman, which suggests a straw purchase, the study noted.
The findings suggest that targeting by law enforcement of the intermediaries in the underground market, the straw purchasers and the traffickers helps reduce access to guns by some dangerous people, Cook said.
The findings will appear in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology.

I thought it would be fun to take a poll and see just how "hooked" my readers are on houses. Take the quiz (a version of what I posted here), and then tell us how you scored.
Are you Hooked on Houses? Give yourself a point for each of the following statements that you agree with:
1. If there's a "For Sale" sign in my neighborhood, I can tell you how much they're asking for their house, and whether it's worth it.
2. I have a habit of checking the real estate listings online, even though I'm not planning to move.
3. I think the best time to take a walk is at dusk–after people have started turning on their lights, but before they have closed their blinds!
4. I like to visit Open Houses and model homes, just for fun.
5. I will stop to take a photo of a beautiful house if I have a camera with me.
6. When I visit someone's home, I immediately start looking around to see what changes they've made since the last time I was there.
7. I get upset when I see a beautiful old home that looks neglected and unloved, and I fantasize about "rescuing" it.
8. I have considered or have been told I should be a real estate agent, architect, or decorator.
9. I like to check out the local house listings when I'm traveling to see how much it would cost to live there–and then fantasize about either buying a vacation home or moving there for good.
10. I can name my favorite paint colors–or the ones I used in my house–off the top of my head.

After losing 93 points in the previous session, the BSE index Sensex shot up by 130 points at the outset before reducing gains to end 13.66 points higher, or 0.06 per cent, at 21,753.75. From last Friday, the index lost 56.05 points even though it hit lifetime high of 22,040.72 on March 18.
Brokers said the market remained volatile as cautious investors and foreign fund managers were seen adjusting their portfolios before the ending of current fiscal year.
Markets Top Gainers, Markets Top Losers
"After the initial uptick, the benchmark indices were remained lacklustre for the ninth successive trade. However, considerable buying in metal and realty space alongside with rise in cash counters kept market breadth on advancing side," said Jayant Manglik, President-retail distribution, Religare Securities.
In 30-share Sensex, 19 stocks gained while 11 settled with losses. Reliance Industries dropped 2.20 per cent on reports of drop in production at its eastern offshore project.
ONGC fell over 2.6 per cent, Sun Pharma by 1.7 per cent and Bharti Airtel by about one per cent.
The 50-share NSE index Nifty rose 10.10 points, or 0.16 per cent, to end at 6,493.20, after touching high of 6,522.90.
Axis Bank, which tumbled three per cent intra-day, ended 2.69 per cent higher after the government sold 9 per cent stake through block deal trades.
Metal stocks rose on value buying while State Bank of India was up 1.47 per cent on hopes of gaining weight in FTSE index series, market participants said.
The domestic market sentiment was positive on a firming trend in the Asian region and higher opening in Europe as global investors steadied after Federal Reserve's signal on hiking interest rates.
Sectorally, the BSE Metal sector index gained the most by rising 1.93 per cent, followed by Realty index (1.86 per cent), Consumer Durable index (0.70 per cent) and Power index (0.67 per cent).
Indian shares end higher; metal, tech stocks gain
(Reuters) Indian shares edged higher on Friday, but continued to stay away from their record highs hit early in the week, as investors booked profits in some recent outperformers such as ONGC while buying into relative underperformers such as Tata Motors.
Both the NSE and the BSE indexes hit record highs on Tuesday, bolstered by continued buying from foreign investors, with net purchases of $117.87 million on Thursday, their 23rd buying session in the previous 24.
Still, some of the momentum has waned. The NSE index ended the week down 0.2 percent, its second consecutive week of falls, and 1.2 percent away from its record high of 6,574.94 hit on Tuesday.
Profit-taking after a strong rally, and some global factors, including a bout of selling tied to concerns that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates earlier than expected, have pressured shares.
"We are cautiously optimistic in the near term. The undercurrent is positive, but profit-taking is expected in select sectors and stocks. We will continue to see sectoral rotations-like that we saw in IT," said Deven Choksey, managing director at KR Choksey Securities.
"We may see fresh positions building up after the monthly derivatives contract expiry, in the coming week."
The benchmark BSE index closed 0.06 percent higher at 21,753.75. It lost 0.26 percent this week.
The broader NSE index closed 0.16 percent higher at 6,493.2.
Relative underperformers in the recent rally continued to gain, with Tata Motors Ltd up 2.5 percent after falling 8.9 percent this month as of Thursday's close.
Meanwhile, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd rose 0.9 percent, after being hit earlier this week after saying revenue growth could slow this quarter from the previous quarter. Shares had fallen 7.4 percent this month as of Thursday.
Axis Bank Ltd rose 2.7 percent on speculation that its weightage in FTSE indexes is due to increase when the index provider rejigs the composition of its benchmarks after the close of markets on Friday.
The speculation on FTSE offset pressure earlier in the day, when Axis Bank shares fell as much as 2.6 percent, as the government raised more than $900 million by selling a 9 percent stake in the bank.
However, shares speculated to be losing some weightage in FTSE indexes fell. Reliance Industries Ltd fell 2.2 percent.
Oil and Natural Gas Corp fell 2.98 percent, with some profit-taking hitting the stock after gaining 8.4 percent this month as of Thursday's close.
Blue chips broadly recovered from Thursday's fall, with State Bank of India up 1.44 percent after losing 1.81 percent in the previous session.

The story centres on Lion-o, a youth who is the son of the King of Thundera, whose planet is destroyed by mutants and manages to escape with the King's trusted allies. The Thundercats find a new home on Third Earth & with the King of Thundera now dead, Lion-o must take the Sword Of Omens and lead the remainder of his people.
The New planet the Thundercats land on has many mysterious secrets and dangers, Including the eternatl struggle that Lion-o must now face head on with the Evil Sorcerer Mumm-Ra The Ever Living. The battle continues throughout the series but who will win this epic battle.
Well worth looking around for the best deal but you will not regret the purchase, your kids will absolutely adore the adventures of Lion-o and the Thundercats. With an expanding story throughout the series you grow to not only appreciate the excellant animation but also the great Baddies.
This is a great gift for any fans of the series and a great introduction to newer generations who have yet to experience the joy of watching Mumm-Ra's struggle against the Thundercats. Welcome to 3rd Earth.

FINALLY i decided to put an end to domestic violence...vent *long* **UPDATE**
First I would like to say thank you for all of you ladies support,I greatly appreciate it. Well I received my court date for the restraining order for the 15th.His mother called to ask about the kids and sneaked in the part that he wants me to call him to talk and that I shouldn't go to court because since he's in the military it will mess things up for him.I didn't call....but I'm still so scared to go to court. And I feel terrible because my son's 1st birthday is on the 17th and I have no plans since all of this came up.It's all I think about now.I really would like to know how the procedure of court will go.just to get an idea so I won't be so nervous.
Be strong honey. HE is the weak one, not you. You have to have the strength of the goddess to put up with what you did. HE is the one who needs to have control in order to survive, HE is the one who is so scared he needs to hurt others. Believe me on this. You will be fine. Good Luck, and Blessed Be.
I was lucky enough to have someone direct me towards an organization called WEAVE, which is Women Escaping A Violent Environment. They helped me to a safe shelter, fill out all the restraining order/custody documents, and gave me transportation to and from the courthouse. You should look for a similar place.
I'm glad you got away. I hope everything works out.
I'm so glad you and your children got out safely. My beautiful cousin was murdered January 17, 2011. She was beaten so badly her nose was off to the side, he ran over her with his truck from head to toe as he drove away and left her in the snow and below freezing temperatures to die. She left behind 3 young, beautiful daughters who miss her every single day.
Jesus is my Saviour!!!!!!!!!!!
Quoting PinkyPan:

Row 44's deployment of its satellite-based Wi-Fi service had been delayed by regulatory holdups while competitor Aircell was rolling out its GoGo in-flight service on several airlines. GoGo utilizes a network of terrestrial cell towers. Earlier this year, Aircell reported it had raised $178 million to finance its service, which has been installed on more than 1,000 commercial aircraft. Earlier, Southwest Airlines announced it planned to install Row 44's service on its entire fleet of more than 500 passenger aircraft.
"This investment," said Row 44 CEO John Guidon in a statement, "gives Row 44 the operating capital to continue executing on our North American launch with the Southwest Airlines fleet and our aggressive network build-out, enabling us to support airline customers across the globe."
Row 44's service is supported by Hughes Network Systems satellites and the Wi-Fi provider has expressed an interest in offering its service on international flights beyond the US. Row 44 said its satellite-based service -- its so-called "hotspots in the sky" -- offer ultra fast broadband speeds to planes in flight.
In-flight Wi-Fi service has had a difficult past in the U.S. while the FCC, FAA and airline crew unions have successfully been able to block voice calling on U.S. flights. Boeing lost a reported $1 billion in its Connexion satellite-based service, which was praised by passengers using it on international flights. But the early equipment was heavy, cumbersome and expensive and Boeing dropped the service.
In Europe, OnAir's service -- based on terrestrial towers -- permits passengers to make voice calls.

ELDORADO, Texas David J. Williams is repenting from a distance. Though he was earlier cast out of the Fundamentalist LDS Church, he still drove more than 1,200 miles from his home in Nevada to the Schleicher County Memorial Building to give a DNA sample.
"I have three beautiful sons that were forced from their mother," he said Tuesday. "I am here to give all that I have to aid in the return of the children to their parents."
Williams showed up alongside other FLDS members to undergo a cheek swab, be photographed and given a number in an effort to establish paternity for the 437 children seized from the YFZ Ranch.
"Right through here, guys," a police officer said to three FLDS men who showed up in the makeshift clinic.
All day Tuesday, an SUV or a pickup would pull up and women and men would hustle inside the building here on the courthouse square. They would emerge about 15 minutes later.
"It's very easy," said one man, who refused to give his name or say how many children he had.
Williams hasn't seen his sons Parley, 9, Jacob, 7, and Teral, 5, for more than three years.
"That which is most precious beautiful children and family," he said, his voice shaking slightly. "What honorable father and parent wouldn't give all to preserve their children from what's traumatic and hostile to them? What honorable father and parent wouldn't give all they have to protect the innocence of their children and family?"
He said he is a non-member of the FLDS church "at this time," acknowledging to the Deseret News he was told to "repent from a distance" a term used by FLDS leader Warren Jeffs when numerous members were excommunicated.
"I was given a test," he said. "I was given a test to myself by Heavenly Father's appointed prophet."
The DNA samples are being required by a judge, who believes they are necessary to establish biological relationships. Child protective services workers have said they are still encountering difficulty in verifying names, birthdates and relationships among children and parents.
Rod Parker, an attorney who is acting as a spokesman for the FLDS Church, said Tuesday he believes every man at the ranch has submitted to testing. He said he fears Texas authorities collected DNA evidence in an effort to build a criminal case against the FLDS people.
"I think it's an embarrassment for the state to require this. We have nothing to hide, we've broken no laws," said a man named Rulon, who would not give his last name. "It makes you feel like a criminal."
One man who has done it before and is again being ordered to give a DNA sample is Warren Jeffs. His name is among the long list of parents from whom the judge is seeking DNA samples. Jeffs is currently incarcerated in the Mohave County Jail in Kingman, Ariz., where he faces criminal charges accusing him of performing child-bride marriages.
"He had to give DNA samples upon being booked into our jail," said Mohave County Sheriff's spokeswoman Trish Carter, adding that she did not know if Texas authorities would be able to get that sample or must require a new one.10 comments on this story
FLDS members who spoke to the Deseret News Tuesday said they were complying in an effort to get their children back. They waded through crowds of TV cameras to comply with the order. It turned into a public spectacle when clownish TV personality Pauly Shore showed up to hound the FLDS, the police and the news media.
Williams carried scrapbooks filled with pictures of his former family, his children smiling in a family portrait.
"They have beautiful, loving caring mothers. They should be returned to their families," he said.Asked if that family would include him, Williams replied: "As Heavenly Father sees fit."

Playoff Bound?
Kansas City, MO - It didn't take long for Carl Peterson to build the Kansas City Chiefs into a winner.
The Miami Dolphins are finding their new regime to be just as efficient.
After a week in which Peterson - one of the most successful executives in NFL history - decided to step down, the Dolphins continue their quest to make the playoffs in their first season under the leadership of Bill Parcells as they visit the Chiefs on Sunday.
Oddsmakers from Online Sportsbook Sportsbook.com have made the Dolphins –4 point spread favorites for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Current NFL Public Betting Information shows that 77% of more than 3,976 bets for this game have been placed on the Dolphins -4.
Kansas City went 4-11 in two straight seasons before Peterson took over as general manager in 1989, but went 8-7-1 in his first year and went on to make six straight playoff appearances. Peterson, in his 20th year with the Chiefs (2-12), announced Monday he'd be stepping down at the end of the season.
Miami (9-5), meanwhile, went a league-worst 1-15 in 2007, then brought in Parcells to be the team's executive vice president of football operations. Parcells hired Tony Sparano to be the Dolphins' coach, and they're now in a three-way with the New York Jets and New England for first place in the AFC East.
By winning its final two games, Miami would clinch a playoff berth. Anything less, though, and the Dolphins may fall short.
"We have full control over what's going to happen," said Miami linebacker Joey Porter, who was named to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday. "It's exactly what you want. You don't want to be in a situation where you're hoping this team loses or that team loses to benefit you."
The Dolphins conclude the regular season on Dec. 28 with a road game against the Jets, who would win the division with victories in their final two games.
Miami has won three straight, sparked by a defense that was reeling following a 48-28 loss to New England on Nov. 23. Since then, though, the Dolphins have not allowed a touchdown.
In its last three games, Miami has allowed a total of 24 points - eight field goals - to beat St. Louis, Buffalo and San Francisco. The Dolphins' streak without allowing a TD is their longest since 1973, the last time they won the Super Bowl.
Miami is giving up 19.2 points per game after allowing 27.3 last year.
"They're learning how to communicate very well out there," Sparano said. "There are guys covering for one another. And they're becoming pretty resilient. They don't really get flustered a whole lot, even when somebody makes a big play against them."
There's no question the Dolphins' defense is greatly improved, but it has faced teams ranked in the bottom third in the league in yards per game over the past three weeks.
Kansas City, meanwhile, has been better on offense since Tyler Thigpen took over as the starting quarterback, averaging 27.6 points in its last eight games.
And After beating San Francisco 14-9 at home last Sunday, Miami will face cold weather in its last two games. The forecast for Sunday in Kansas City is a high of 28 degrees, but the Dolphins' ball-control offense and physical defense favor tough conditions.
With 10 turnovers, Miami is on pace to break the NFL record of 14 set by the 1990 Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
Chad Pennington has done an outstanding job of managing the Dolphins' offense, and he is complemented by a strong running game. Ronnie Brown, who will join Porter in the Pro Bowl, has rushed for 827 yards and 10 TDs.
Porter made it to the Pro Bowl by virtue of his 17 1/2 sacks after totaling 5 1/2 in 2007.
In contrast, Kansas City has nine sacks as a team and is on pace to set an NFL record for fewest in a season. The Chiefs need five sacks in their last two games to avoid the record of 13 set by the 1981 Baltimore Colts.
Five of Kansas City's sacks came in its last game, a 22-21 loss to San Diego last Sunday. The Chiefs must win their final two games to avoid being saddled with the worst record in franchise history in a 16-game season.
That would be an unfortunate end to Peterson's run, which includes nine playoff appearances.
The new general manager will decide the fate of Kansas City coach Herm Edwards, who went 4-12 last season after guiding the Chiefs to the playoffs in his first year with the team.
"I think what you do is you do the best job you possibly can with what you're dealt with," Edwards said. "That's what you do and I've never lived my life any other way. You take it head on and go as hard as you can, and that's where it's at."
This will be the first meeting between the Dolphins and Chiefs since Nov. 12, 2006, when Miami won 13-10 at home.

America's atheists | Believe it or not | Economist.com
Believe it! According to The Economist article linked above, atheists in America would have a better chance at effecting change if we were to stop "picking the wrong fights." Of course, that's not our only problem, they also cite other reasons:
What accounts for the failure of atheists to organise and wield influence? One problem is that they are hardly a cohesive group. Another issue is simply branding. "Atheist" has an ugly ring in American ears and it merely defines what people are not. "Godless" is worse, its derogatory attachment to "communist" may never be broken. "Humanist" sounds too hippyish. A few have taken to calling themselves "Brights" for no good reason and to widespread mirth. And "secular" isn't quite the word either; one can be a Christian secularist.But none of that comes close to our biggest problem, which The Economist opines is our meanness. Sound familiar to anyone else??? We have been accused for years of being unpleasant anyway. I suppose that these criticisms are correct, at least to a certain extent. Many of us choose to speak out in favor of the separation of church and state wherever violations appear, rather than only when more groups are on our side. If that strikes some as petty, what can we do?
Also, the "new atheist" authors have brought this issue to the forefront with both the style and content of their writings. We have been criticized as "militant," "fundamentalist," "dogmatic" or just plain "rude". The root of the problem, again according to The Economist:
But another failing of the irreligious movement has been its tendency, frequently, to pick the wrong fights. Keeping the Ten Commandments out of an Alabama courthouse is one thing. But attacking a Christmas nativity scene on public property does more harm than good. Such secular crusades allow Christians—after all, the overwhelming majority of the country—to feel under attack, and even to declare that they are on the defensive in a "War on Christmas". When a liberal federal court in California struck the words "under God" from the pledge of allegiance, religious conservatives rallied. Atheists might be tactically wise to accept the overwhelming majority's comfort with such "ceremonial deism".OK, fair enough. We piss off a lot of people. And I'm all for strategy in the fight. But I will never understand why anyone feels that we should be satisfied with half-measures. But if these things piss off Christians, why wouldn't they be any more inclined to support our stand when it comes to "areas where American religiosity can do harm—over-aggressive proselytising in the armed forces, undermining science or AIDS programmes, alienating minorities at home and Muslims abroad". Can anyone say "stem cells?" How about other areas: gay rights? Abortion? Intelligent Design vs. Science in the classroom?
No, I'm afraid making nice with the religious will not make them any more likely to support a reasoned approach to any of the above. Therefore, what incentive do we have to abandon the quest for well-thought out policies at all levels of government? Or the constitutional right to separation of church and state?

SALT LAKE CITY — There are refugee families in Utah who would literally be lost without Katherine Mahoney.
Having lived in tent camps for five, 10 or even 20 years, they come to this state with no clue about the appliances in their new kitchens, or the routes of the buses zooming outside their windows. But with Mahoney, a volunteer at the Parish Refugee Resettlement Ministry at St. John the Baptist in Draper, together they navigate first visits to imposing grocery stores and first TRAX rides.
"No matter where you come from, people really are the same," Mahoney said at an event recognizing her humanitarian efforts Thursday.
Mahoney and four other individuals and organizations were honored at the Catholic Community Services of Utah banquet for their support and involvement in the lives of the state's disadvantaged and needy.
Mahoney, Jon and Karen Huntsman, The Sisters of Saint Benedict in Ogden, the Sisters of the Holy Cross in Salt Lake and LDS Welfare Services were all honored for their contributions. Olivia Chacon was honored as the Catholic Community Services employee of the year.
"They're always there where the need is," said the Most Rev. John C. Wester, bishop of the Salt Lake Catholic Diocese, in a prerecorded statement about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Welfare Services. "They're motivated by the gospel of Christ."
Leaders recognized Welfare Services for stepping in to provide regular meals for the city's homeless and for working closely with other faiths and charities.
"What I'm not sure people really recognize is how much they do here locally," Wester said.
H. David Burton, Presiding Bishop of the LDS Church, accepted the award on behalf of the welfare department, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.
"For many of those years, we have been honored to have the opportunity of partnering with … Catholic Community Services," he said. "We are honored."
The Sisters of Saint Benedict delighted the audience by singing their blessing, which they've used over the last nearly 70 years to comfort hospital patients at St. Benedict's Hospital — now Ogden Regional Medical Center.
"They became the angels of caring and compassion," said Monsignor Terrence Fitzgerald with Catholic Community Services.
The Sisters of Holy Cross, who serve immigrant families in gaining self-reliance in addition to other roles, received similar standing ovations.Comment on this story
"Those success stories tell us of the possibilities when we all work together to solve the problems," said Sister Suzanne Brennan with the Sisters of the Holy Cross.
Karen Huntsman accepted the humanitarian award on behalf of her and her husband. The Huntsmans were recognized for their significant charitable donations in the state and beyond.
"I know each one of you as you go forth each day makes a difference," she said. "(Heavenly Father) judges people by the size of their heart. … He will judge us on our goodness and the reaching out that we do for his children."

Yandex Asks Russian Authorities to Drop the Hammer on Google
February 18, 2015
Yandex has asked Russia's antitrust authorities to look into whether Google is breaking the country's laws by not allowing preinstallation of third-party services on Android devices. Three smartphone vendors told Yandex last year that they couldn't install its search engine as the default, the company claimed. Yandex is seeking to have the Android OS unbundled from Google Search.
Is Paltrow More Qualified Than Mayer to Run Yahoo?
February 16, 2015
While working on a piece about bad decisions recently, I revisited Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's decision not to hire Academy Award winner and successful lifestyle author and blogger Gwyneth Paltrow for a lifestyle editing position...because she didn't have a college degree. Let's explore the idea of Paltrow running Yahoo -- and we'll also take a look at my product of the week: an amazing new curved phone from LG.
Is an Apple Maps Upgrade in the Works?
February 9, 2015
The ad on Apple's job site is innocuous enough, seeking an engineering project manager for Apple Search. However, that raises questions about whether Apple has plans to further improve its Maps app, possibly by strengthening local listings, which are increasingly important to businesses. "Apple may well revamp its street maps, as that application has far more value in an increasingly mobile world," noted Alan Pelz-Sharpe, a research director at the 451 Group.
Facebook's Place Tips May Lead Advertisers to Pot of Gold
February 2, 2015
Facebook last week announced Place Tips for iPhones, a feature that will give subscribers location-based recommendations at the top of their News Feeds. No mention was made of launching Place Tips for Android or Windows Phone devices.

Auto Insurance? Just Google It
January 12, 2015
Google reportedly is gearing up to launch a shopping and comparison site for auto insurance in the United States. The company has been operating such a site in the UK, dubbed "Google Compare," for the past two years. Although it apparently has been beset by delays, an entity called "Google Compare Auto Insurance Services Inc." now is licensed to do business in 26 states.
Google Joins Charlie Hebdo Solidarity Movement
January 9, 2015
Google has donated nearly $300,000 to help French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo make its largest print run ever, following Wednesday's massacre at the magazine's Paris office. Its normal production run numbers about 60,000 copies, but the surviving staff plan to print a million issues next week. A number of media outlets also have pledged to help keep the publication alive.
No News Is Google Spain News
December 11, 2014
Google on Thursday said it will close Google News in Spain, as of Dec. 16. That's in reaction to a new law that will take effect in Spain in January. The law requires all Spanish publications to charge content aggregators for publishing any part of their content. Spain's new law is "a perverse policy," said Ronald Gruia, director of emerging telecoms at Frost & Sullivan.
Facebook Search Tool Finds Posts in a Haystack
December 9, 2014
Facebook has made it possible for users to perform keyword searches for individual posts on the social network. "With a quick search, you can get back to a fun video from your graduation, a news article you've been meaning to read, or photos from your friend's wedding last summer," said Tom Stocky, Facebook's vice president of search. Users still have the option of using search phrases as well.
Google Sets Its Sights on the Under-12 Set
December 8, 2014
Google soon will begin targeting kids 12 and under with tailored versions of its products, likely including its search functionality, along with offerings such as YouTube and Chrome. The company is pushing to change make its products fun and safe for children, Pavni Diwanji, Google vice president of engineering, said last week. The new initiative reportedly will begin next year.
Google Dips a Toe in Ad-Free Waters
November 21, 2014
Google on Friday unveiled Contributor, an experimental service that lets users make a donation to support the websites they visit instead of viewing ads. Currently available only by invitation, Contributor begins by asking users to set a monthly contribution amount between $1 and $3. Then, when they visit a participating website, part of their contribution goes to the creators of that site.
Firefox Sheds Google for Yahoo
November 21, 2014
Mozilla on Wednesday announced that Yahoo would replace Google as its global default search option, in a move that has set the tech media abuzz. Pointing out that Google has been the Firefox global search default since 2004, Mozilla painted the move as seizing the opportunity to review its competitive strategy and explore its options when the agreement came up for renewal this year.
Twitter Opens Entire Multibillion-Tweet Gold Mine to Searchers
November 20, 2014
Twitter this week began indexing every public tweet posted since it began operating in 2006. "Our long-standing goal has been to let people search through every tweet ever published," said Yi Zhuang, who led the project team. Use cases Zhuang cited for the new infrastructure include results for entire TV and sports seasons, conferences, industry discussions and long-lived hashtag conversations.
BBC to Preserve Memory of Its 'Forgotten' Articles
October 17, 2014
The BBC will publish and continually update a list of its published articles that were removed from Google searches under Europe's "right to be forgotten" rule. David Jordan, director of editorial policy and standards for the BBC, announced the move. The decision is a reaction to the EC ruling that search engines must remove "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" links upon request.
Google's Doctor Is In
October 13, 2014
Google is offering a limited trial of a feature that offers people conducting searches of medical terms the opportunity to engage in a video chat with a health professional via its Helpouts service. Helpouts, which launched last November, connects users with experts in a variety of fields such as Art & Music, Fitness & Nutrition, and Health. The experts typically charge a fee for their service.
Attorney Slams Google for Making Money Off Nude Celeb Pics
October 2, 2014
Google may be on the receiving end of a $100 million lawsuit from attorneys representing some of the celebrities whose nude photos were hacked from their iCloud accounts and subsequently posted online. Entertainment lawyer Martin Singer has sent a letter to Google's top executives and its legal staff, accusing the company of ignoring a take-down request sent to it four weeks ago.
Google Brings Hamster-Eating Into Sticks-and-Stones Brawl With News Corp.
September 19, 2014
News Corp. and Google have lashed out at each other as the EU reconsiders the terms of its proposed antitrust settlement with the latter. News Corp. essentially accused Google of nefarious behavior in a letter to the European Competition Commissioner over the EU's proposed antitrust settlement with Google. Perhaps the irony of the situation hit Google hard.
If Google Were French
September 11, 2014
Europeans are relentlessly attacking Google: A German official called for its breakup, a French minister charged it was a threat to sovereignty, and a publisher compared it to a dragon, according to a report. Really? I would have thought the euro and the draconian austerity program needed to keep it functioning threatened sovereignty more than Google.
Google Autocomplete's Brushes With Libel
August 25, 2014
Can an automated Google feature that ostensibly helps users with a search be a basis for libel? Courts in Germany, Italy and Hong Kong have had to field that question. Google's position is that there is no human intervention, and that its algorithm is based merely on what others have searched for, or strings of words in indexed pages. Autocomplete predictions are just possible search terms.
Google Gets in a Trusted Stores Encryption Tangle
August 21, 2014
A conflict between Google's push to make the Web more secure and its Trusted Store program may be costing at least one business money. Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies, which encrypts all the pages on its website, reportedly has had its application for Google's Trusted Stores program turned down. Think of the badge as the equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal.
Google May Start Grooming Little Googlers
August 19, 2014
Google may soon allow kids under 13 to have their own personal accounts on services such as YouTube and Gmail. Under the new system, parents would be able to set up accounts for their children, control their use of those accounts, and regulate the information collected about them. "You could say that Google is just recognizing reality," said the Local Search Association's Greg Sterling.
Google Straps On Jetpac to Take Search to New Heights
August 19, 2014
Google has acquired Jetpac, according to a statement that appeared Friday on the Jetpac website. Jetpac is the creator of a handful of apps, including City Guides, which analyzes Instagram photos and then automatically creates guides based on the collected data. That information gives users a lot of search options. Not only can they find coffee shops, for example -- they can find the hippest.
Secure Sites to Get the Google Bump
August 7, 2014
Google on Wednesday announced that it has begun factoring websites' use of HTTPS into its search rankings, resulting in more favorable results for those that use the security-minded protocol. Use of the protocol still is considered just a minor factor, though, affecting fewer than 1 percent of global queries and carrying less weight than high-quality content.
Wikimedia Blasts Europe's 'Right to Be Forgotten'

The Wikimedia Foundation has released its first-ever transparency report -- and along with it a protest against Europe's "right to be forgotten" law. Wikimedia is the nonprofit owner of Wikipedia and other sites. "Denying people access to relevant and neutral information runs counter to the ethos and values of the Wikimedia movement," wrote Wikimedia attorneys Geoff Brigham and Michelle Paulson.
Down the EU's Right-to-Be-Forgotten Rabbit Hole
July 17, 2014
Telecom regulators from each EU member state, together with the Article 29 Working Party -- a group comprised of a data protection authority representative from each state, the European Data Protection Supervisor, and the European Commission -- reportedly have invited search engines to a meeting next week. Microsoft, which just started fielding link removal requests to Bing, plans to attend.
Can I Get My Reputation Back?
July 9, 2014
Ray Donovan was U.S. Labor Secretary under Ronald Reagan and a colorful figure. During his tenure he was indicted by a Bronx, N.Y., grand jury on corruption charges stemming from a contract to build a subway line. The trial involved unions and the mob and was automatically sensational. The verdict turned on whether a construction company got a contract due to mob influence.
Europeans Want Right to Be Forgotten - but Not for the Other Guy
July 8, 2014
Marie Antoinette may not have been too far off the mark when she intoned the immortal line, "Let them eat cake." When it comes to the right to be forgotten, it seems Europeans want both to have their cake and eat it. They are now up in arms over Google's having deleted links to various news stories from search results in Europe, calling the action part of a backroom campaign to change the law.
Google AdWords Nixes the Raunchiest Stuff
July 7, 2014
Google has kicked explicit pornographic advertising from its ad network. The company said it made the AdWords change, which it announced in March and recently brought into effect, "as an effort to continually improve users' experiences with AdWords." Advertising policies were updated to reflect the updated stance on sexually explicit content. The policy still allows advertising for strip clubs.
Supreme Court Turns Deaf Ear to Google's Street View Appeal
June 30, 2014
The Supreme Court has declined Google's appeal of a lower-court ruling in a class-action lawsuit that alleges it violated federal wiretap laws with its Street View cars. The court left in place a decision the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals handed down in September. The appeals court declined to dismiss the case, ruling that Google was not exempt from liability under the federal Wiretap Act.
Google Starts Purging Search Results in Europe
June 26, 2014
Google has started to remove search results in certain cases in Europe, in compliance with the EU's new "right to be forgotten" rules. The EU last month ruled that the company must allow individuals to request the removal of links to news articles, court judgments, and other documents that might turn up in results when searches are conducted on their names.
Free Speech vs. Internet Privacy and the 'Right to Be Forgotten'
June 10, 2014
The conventional wisdom of the Internet is that everything posted, whether on social media, a website or anywhere else, will be on the Internet forever. That conventional wisdom was just challenged successfully in a recent ruling handed down by the EU's highest court. A new conventional wisdom may arise from that ruling -- that we have a "right to be forgotten."

Reds fall to Cubs as Harang exits early
Right-hander leaves in first inning with lower back spasms
By Patrick Allegri / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- Aaron Harang entered his start on Saturday night against the Cubs ranked first in the National League in strikeouts and second in innings pitched. Both rankings will most likely take a hit after lower back stiffness drove the Reds ace off the mound after just one (strikeout-less) inning in Cincinnati's 8-1 loss to Chicago at Great American Ball Park. Harang said the stiffness in his back flattened the action on his pitches and sapped him of much of his movement and velocity. After giving up a one-out, two-run home run to Derrek Lee in the top of the first on a sinker that didn't sink, Harang worked his way out of the frame and headed straight for the home clubhouse. Harang said he felt the tightness in his back after his second throw during pregame warmups with catcher David Ross, but had hoped to be rid of it after loosening up further. "I thought it was just something, you know, maybe once I get loose, I'll be able to pitch through it," Harang said. "I started going out in the bullpen, came up here [to the clubhouse], got adjusted really quick before the game. It's one of those things that's better safe than sorry." Interim manager Pete Mackanin wanted nothing to do with risking a serious injury to the team's best pitcher. "You could tell from the first inning his velocity was off, and he just didn't look comfortable," Mackanin said. "He said that he had loosened up, but when he came out, we just said, 'That's it, we're not taking any chances.' You can't take chances with him." Did the loss of the team's most reliable pitcher so early in the game cause Mackanin to scramble to occupy the mound for the rest of the game? "Yes, it does," Mackanin said. "We were just feeling comfortable, because I knew that Aaron was pitching today and figured he would hopefully give us at least seven, if not eight innings, and I was going to back off on his pitch count, because his last two outings he threw 116 and 120 pitches, something like that. "We were going to keep him right around 100 today. So, we met that goal." It was up to the Reds bullpen, then, to complete the game's final eight innings. And with an NL-worst 5.05 staff ERA entering Saturday, the bullpen surprised few when it gave up an additional six earned runs to give Chicago a comfortable win. Left-handed reliever Mike Gosling, who had given up just one earned run in eight innings of relief entering Saturday, replaced Harang in the second inning. The Cubs did not wait long to take advantage of the Reds' pitching change, as Alfonso Soriano crushed a two-out, three-run home run off Gosling into the upper deck in left field to extend the Cubs' lead to 5-0. "I didn't take that couple of seconds that I needed to get myself together mentally, and I think it cost me there in the second inning," Gosling said. "Just kind of getting ready physically, quickly, but I didn't take the time to settle myself down, and by the time I did, I'd given up those three runs." Gosling returned after the second with clean third and fourth innings before giving up another earned run in the fifth. He allowed four earned runs on five hits with four walks (two intentional) and two strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings. In all, the Reds used six pitchers on Saturday. To Mackanin, taking a loss when his starting pitcher made such a premature, unexpected exit isn't too difficult to handle. He said he hopes the Reds will be able to bounce back in Sunday's rubber match and win the fifth of their seven series since Mackanin joined the team on July 1. "I feel positive about the way we've been playing," Mackanin said. "You don't normally win every game you play, and if this is one of the games in the series that we have to give 'em, because we had our ace on the staff and we had to remove him, I'd like to think that we're going to take tomorrow."

Has someone been reading my journal? Did I say my birthday wish out loud this year? Have my wildest dreams come true? Well hold on to your goggles, kids, because ABC has just ordered a celebrity diving competition show. Yes, my prayers have been answered.
That's right, folks. No noodling around here, you guys. In no time at all, we will be treated to a television series where our favorite A-list (ha. ha. ha.) celebrities will jack knife their way into our hearts. The show is modeled after Dutch competition show Celebrity Splash (a missed opportunity for alliteration, if you ask me) and will hopefully feature equal parts swan dives, Speedos and belly flops. A selection of famous faces will perform a series of dives each week, with help from their handy mentors, only to be judged and eliminated by diving experts and America, alike.
Pool fans rejoice! Our Olympics hangover has been cured! Hairless bodies, tiny splashes and good old-fashioned suspense await us — and we don't even have to hold out for 2016! Things to get psyched for, in no particular order:
- Aforementioned hairless bodies in aforementioned Speedos
- Aforementioned swan dives and jack knifes (knives?)
- Expert commentary (fingers crossed for Greg Louganis)
- Those little washcloths
- Cannonballs
- People shouting, "Cannonballlll!!!!!!!!!!"
- Quick dips in nearby hot tubs
- Tiny splashes
- Big splashes
- Results show performances by Olympic synchronized swimming teams
- Use of "Belly Flop" in related newspaper headlines
- Sparkly bathing suits
- Runny spray tans
Obviously this isn't the first time TV networks have taken a dip in the celeb-competition pool (see what I did there?) We've been lucky enough to have a front row seat as stars tango, trapeze and sober up for our viewing pleasure. Some have been good (Celebrity Mole, Dancing with the Stars, Celebrity Apprentice) some have been bad (Skating with the Stars, I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here, Famous Food) and some have been really bad (Stars Earn Stripes, Celebrity Circus, The Choice), but at least they've each been a little bit entertaining. Of course, it all depends on the cast. Here's my fantasy celebrity diving team revealed, in no particular order:
- Gabby Douglas, The Olympian
- Shia Labeouf, The Former Disney Star
- Bella Thorne, The Current Disney Star
- J.C. Chasez, The Boy-Bander
- Dan Marino, The Pro-Baller (He was a Dolphin after all…)
- Scott Baio, The 80s TV Heartthrob
- Jodie Sweetin, The 90s TV Sweetheart
- Dennis Rodman, The Wild Child
- Sebastian Bach, The Hard-Rocker (with a soft side)
- Kenny G, The Soft-Rocker (with a hard side)
- Bill Gates, The Billionaire
- Corey Feldman, The Former Child Star
- Lindsay Lohan, The combination Disney Star/Child Star/Wild Child
I think that's a pretty good list, don't you? I've covered all my bases and still left some room for additional Disney Stars. And I don't mean to toot my own horn, but with a list like this, the show has no reason NOT to succeed and win Outstanding Reality Competition Program at next year's Emmy Awards (toot toot).
Please share your own fantasy celebrity diving team in the comments below and make sure to include just how excited you are to see this show.
While you're at it, voice your choice in today's poll and tell us which celebrity-driven reality show is your favorite:
