Latest update October 24th, 2017 12:17 PM
Sep 02, 2015 adminl News Comments Off on 74 Prominent Iranians Urge Congress to Support Nuclear Deal with Iran
The following letter, written by 74 prominent Iranians representing many spheres of civil society, urges members of the U. S. Congress to support nuclear agreement with Iran. The signers of the text hold diverse views on sociopolitical issues but identify themselves as critics of the Iranian regime. They include academics, professionals, peace and human rights prizewinners, lawyers, political activists and civil society advocates. Some are former political prisoners and many have been forced into exile as a result of challenging the practices of the Islamic Republic.
The view presented in their letter mirrors the findings of a study on Iranian civil society's views on the Nuclear Accord published by the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran in July 2015. That study, High Hopes, Tempered Expectations: Views from Iran on the Nuclear Negotiations, found that prominent members of Iranian civil society unequivocally and strongly supported the negotiations and the peaceful resolution of the conflict over Iran's nuclear program.
Letter to the Congress of the United States
We, the undersigned, are Iranian dissidents living abroad. Many of us have been forced into exile because of our criticism of the Islamic Republic's autocratic practices and violation of human rights. We advocate democratic pluralism, diplomatic resolution of Iran's conflicts with the United States, peaceful relations with all nations and strict adherence to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. We are writing to urge you to approve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) because the agreement, in addition to resolving a dangerous dispute, has the potential to energize the struggle for democracy in Iran. Normal trade relations between Iran and Western countries may lead, however gradually, to a tangible relaxation of tension in Iran's relations with America and Europe. It can also help the resolution of crises in the Persian Gulf region.
We believe such developments should encourage Western governments to include serious support for human rights as they engage Iran in trade and investment negotiations. Movement toward normalization of Iran's international relations could make the naming and shaming of the regime's mistreatment of political dissidents, civil society forces (women in particular) and religious/ethnic minorities more effective. At least it has a relatively better prospect in comparison to the continuation of the nuclear confrontation. Furthermore, the JCPOA has considerable Capacity to meet the proliferation concern of P5+1 (or US congress) via its provisions to close all paths towards militarization of nuclear program of the IRI under IAEA comprehensive supervision.
The unanimous passage of Resolution 2231 by the United Nations Security Council endorsing JCPOA demonstrates strong and widespread international support for the agreement. This unanimity of international support for the initiative has created a new hope across the world that dangerous conflicts among sovereign nations can be resolved through negotiations and diplomacy.
In the absence of an agreement, the threat of a military "solution" may become a reality. The current Israeli government is depicting such an option as the "last resort." An attack on Iran, even in the absence of visible Israeli participation, would be a tragedy for both Iran and Israel. Iranians who expect to live in post-Islamist Iran do not see Israel as an adversary. Military action against Iran would change this perspective and plant the seeds of unprecedented animosity between the two countries. U. S. policy makers who care about the security of Israel must cool down the rhetoric of military option and devote serious attention to resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
We urge you to resist the kind of pressure from those who seem to have learned nothing from the tragic events of the past. We urge you to adopt a new approach to security challenges of the Middle East by casting a vote for JCPOA and announcing your approval of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231. Such a move will constitute a precedent setting contribution to the resolution of international disputes through dialogue and diplomacy. The irrational animosity between Iran and the United States is a disservice to both nations and a major hindrance to the struggle for democracy in Iran.

Veigar Build Guide by ArcaneMagi
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Veigar Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Have you decided to play Veigar? Have you decided to win? Then this is the guide for you. In the 20+ games that I've played with him, I have only lost with this build twice. First of all, It is vitally important that you call mid. In mid, you get more minions to feed on. Remember that when you engage an champion, you always want to pretend you're running away, then stun him with Event Horizons. Then basically load as much damage on him as possible, but use Dark Matter first as it is delayed but does a lot of damage.
While you're in mid, always try to get last hits on with Baleful Strike. That gives you +1 AP permanently if you kill your target with it. I recommend getting blue buff either early on with a good leash, or at higher levels (as in higher than level 11).
Summoner Spells
For Summoner Spells, I use Ignite and Ghost. Ignite lets me do those last hits or do lots of damage quickly to a must-kill target (stunned with your Event Horizons). An alternative to this
is Exhaust. This instead of doing direct damage, allows you to kill him without the aid of direct damage summoner spells.
I use Ghost because if I need to get a getaway or quickly catch up to someone to get that last shot off, Ghost does that perfectly. Flash is a great alternative to this, but it last less, and since Veigar is a fairly fast champion, I think he should increase that move speed rather than just do an instant teleport. You could also use Exhaust to make sure that he is so slow that he never gets away.
If you haven't already noticed, the items greatly favor AP. Basically, just build AP as Veigar, but this order I have noticed works exceptionally well, as Rabadon's Deathcap gives you 30% more AP, even if it was a minion kill with Baleful Strike. The Archangel's Staff is useful because it gives you mana every time you use it, and being a spell caster, Veigar NEEDS mana.

I deleted the second level subheading, "Visit", as our headings at that level are standard and should not be changed. I moved the hotel listings to the sleep section as that is the only place to put such listings. And I deleted the reference to the tour guide as we only list such if travelers can not make it on their own, see tour. So no, I do not think that it is ok to change it back. But it might be a good idea to establish a separate Gorgora article, --ClausHansen 15:34, 6 May 2010 (EDT)

Oahu shooting victim's parents blast prosecutor
By JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER
Associated Press
HONOLULU — The parents of a Hawaii man shot and killed during a 2011 confrontation with an off-duty federal agent at a Waikiki McDonald's restaurant publicly pleaded Friday for a new, more aggressive prosecutor to handle the agent's upcoming retrial.
Prosecutors charged State Department Special Agent Christopher Deedy with murder, but a jury in August wasn't able to reach a verdict. A retrial is scheduled for June.
Jennell Elderts and her husband Kendall Elderts told reporters they were abandoned and lied to by prosecutors who didn't ask the judge to allow the jury to consider a lesser manslaughter charge. They said they were promised manslaughter would be an option. But Prosecuting Attorney Keith Kaneshiro said in a statement on Friday that no promises were ever made regarding charges.
Deedy was in Honolulu to help provide security for an economic summit in November 2011, and was off-duty when he went to the fast-food restaurant after a night of bar-hopping with friends.
He was charged with murder, with prosecutors claiming during trial that he was as an inexperienced agent who was intoxicated and defensive after being warned about the hostility of Hawaii locals toward outsiders.
Deedy testified that he was protecting himself and others by intervening when he saw Kollin Elderts harassing another customer. He said he fired his gun while Elderts was on top of him throwing punches.
Elderts, 23, died of a single gunshot wound to the chest. Deedy, 29, remains free on bail and has returned to the mainland.
"I think we need a different prosecutor," Jennell Elderts said on Friday. "We just need a more aggressive approach to prosecuting this guy."
Kaneshiro said after the mistrial was declared that there was no evidence to support a manslaughter charge. He said the retrial will also be handled by the same prosecutor who tried the first trial: Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Janice Futa.
"We prosecute cases according to the evidence and the law and are not influenced by civil cases," Kaneshiro's statement on Friday said.
Elderts' parents have a civil suit pending against Deedy. Their attorney, Michael Green, said it was offensive prosecutors didn't at least ask for manslaughter.
"At least it's an issue to go up to the appellate court with," Green said. "I don't buy their reason for it. It makes no sense."
Green's comments could have an impact on the retrial and the civil case, said Brook Hart, who was Deedy's lead defense attorney.
"The judge, prosecutor and defense counsel all agreed there was no evidence to support any instruction on reckless manslaughter," he said. "It's not something the prosecutors did or failed to do. It's the facts of the case."

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday he doesn't "pay a lot of attention" to what President Barack Obama says because he's "not credible."
"I don't pay a lot of attention, frankly, to what Barack Obama says," Cheney said on "Fox News Sunday." "I find a lot of it — in other areas, for example, IRS, Benghazi — not credible. I'm obviously not a fan of the incumbent president."
Cheney had been asked about Obama's assertion that he cleaned up and added additional oversight to the federal government's recently-revealed monitoring programs set up under the Bush administration after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Cheney said he doesn't know what actions Obama took, but said it was "good" the programs were in operation because they had saved lives and kept Americans safe from further attacks.

Hamblin & Peterson: The supposed 'war' between religion and science and its casualties
maclouie Falconer, NYMay 22, 2014 8:57 a.m.
For those that choose to trust our scientists. Next year scientists will tell us something else like maybe Pluto isn't a planet, or we are held together by strings (string theory), or made of particles (particle theory). One day they'll figure it out and tell us the real facts:
However, it should be remembered that this concept was considered 'scientific fact' by many at the time. William Herschel, the discoverer of the planet Uranus, died in 1822. Herschel argued "[w]ho can say that it is not extremely probable, nay beyond doubt, that there must be inhabitants on the Moon of some kind or another?" Furthermore, "he thought it possible that there was a region below the Sun's fiery surface where men might live, and he regarded the existence of life on the Moon as 'an absolute certainty.'"[6]
Other scientists announced that they had discovered "a lunar city with a collection of gigantic ramparts extending 23 miles in either direction."[7]

Deseret News: This is more on topic than you have ever seen in your life.
Science and God finally are seen as compatible: The proof mankind needs to understand how our reality is constructed is here. Blinded scientist and people cannot see the facts in front of their eyes. Instinct program is religion's Satan. IBM WATSON Team members have the proof that "Instinct Mechanism" was created not a self-constructed artificial intelligence program. That would be impossible. Sub-conscious mind is far more advanced that current technology can comprehend. And it protects this ignorance for a very good reason. It can. The question IBM Watson team refuses to disclose: "Is instinct mechanism and artificial intelligence program?" This info will breach our evolutionary hurtle, with the help from Satan's creator, God.
This petition is for sharing information only!!! Do we want information on how our mind works?

I am sure Watson's answer is Yes. Otherwise IBM would have released the information months ago.

@ Tyler D
Some of the stuff that you mentioned about brainwashing is just plain stereotyping of religious parents.
I can see that it is probably more than acceptable for your crowd to stereotype religious people . It would make complete sense to me because it supports your arguments against religious people in general.
I am not saying that specific form of religious teaching does not occur in some households but you are holding it up as an absolute. Which it is not.
Cameron Ford Kaysville, UTMay 20, 2014 11:58 a.m.
As a youth I thought that religion asked me to choose between science and faith. I later came to understand how true religion does not, and should not, contradict true science. If there appears to be contradictions, it is either because science has not discovered the real underlying truth yet, or because we have misunderstood, misinterpreted, or somehow corrupted the revelations of God.
I look at true religion and true science as a puzzle; a puzzle of an incredibly beautiful and complex picture. If we are looking for them on our journey through life, we will find pieces to this puzzle. Some pieces fit perfectly and make so much sense, while others do not seem to fit according to our current understanding of the puzzle. However, God has given me enough of the large and important puzzle pieces for me to be sure that the picture is real and incredibly beautiful.
As for me, I cannot imagine throwing the puzzle away just because I cannot make sense of some of the pieces. This is because I have come to trust in the Maker of the puzzle, and I know that eventually He will show me how they all fit together.
maclouie Falconer, NYMay 20, 2014 10:30 a.m.
LDS should remember we are a revelatory religion which means everything is subject to change. Many in and out of the Church cannot deal with that fact. Usually, what changes is our understanding. Line upon line, precept upon precept. Bruce R McConkie had his understanding re-aligned, probably more than once. Many think Apostles and Prophets talk to God. However, they don't know what the conversation is about. I suspect God doesn't always talk about nuclear physics. In the D&C the Lord says that knowledge about the creation will be revealed later.
What war? I am blessed by living in both spheres. AoF 13 ".. We believe all things, we hope all things... If there is anything ... of good report ... we seek after these things."
What difference does it make what scientists or religionists believe, anyhow? It is only their opinion and I am not afraid to say I pick and choose what I want to believe because that is what learning is all about. Ask any scientist.
maclouie Falconer, NYMay 20, 2014 10:04 a.m.
The greatest miracle of all is if evolution actually happened.
BTW, natural selection is not the same as evolution.
Brahmabull sandy, utMay 20, 2014 9:10 a.m.
the truth
since McConkie was an apostle, and supposedly talks to god I would think that what he says is more then opinion. Oh wait, it is only doctrine when it helps your argument, and when it contradicts your argument it is only opinion. I forgot you can pick and choose.
coltakashi Richland, WAMay 20, 2014 9:06 a.m.
Those scientists and religious believers who buy into the "War" concept are generally pretty ignorant of each other's knowledge. The scientists who are also strongly religious have studied both science and religion deeply and found reconciliation. There needs to be more learning on both sides so others can find that ground of reconciliation. Refusing to learn science or a religion is an intentional ignorance that violates the basic principles of both science and religious faith.

@Weber State Graduate
One problem death was not present in the Garden of Eden, not earth.
"And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed."
and later
"Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken."
The garden of eden, or IN eden, was a specific region of earth. Which garden was apparently was removed from earth since we can longer find it.
McConkie is only saying the current state of earth is 6000 years old. It Must be reminded much of what he wrote was his educated opinion or understanding of the gospel doctrines.
There is no "technically" about it, the age of the earth is not given in scripture or doctrine.
The concluding fact is no scientist or man knows, it is just their belief based on reasoning of men or what they believe is revealed truth.
I firmly believe if there is God he can make things happen faster than what scientists believe is possible, like geological processes, or the creation of life.
ThinksIThink SEATTLE, WAMay 19, 2014 5:05 p.m.
@ samhill,
You said that "Science **must** remain skeptical and, therefore, FAITHfully hope its scientific data-based conclusions are accurate."
Is it true that science must exercise faith in its conclusions? If the conclusions change, do satellites fall out of the sky, do cell phones stop working, do intercontinental missiles stop going airborne, does DNA stop telling us about the migratory patterns of humans? Do I need to hope that scientists keep the faith else it all crumbles before our eyes?
Weber State Graduate Clearfield, UTMay 19, 2014 3:21 p.m.
"There is no teaching of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that limits the age of the earth to 6,000 years."
Perhaps not "technically" regarding the actual "age" of the earth, but LDS Apostle Bruce R. McConkie taught the following:
"If...[one] accepts the untrue theory that death has been present on the earth for scores of thousands or millions of years, he must reject the revealed truth that there was no death either for man or animals or plants or any form of life until some 6000 years ago when Adam fell.
"Thus, the period during which birth, and life, and death have been occurring on this earth is less than 6,000 years."
We know the fossil record shows convincing evidence for cells and bacteria living in an oxygen-free world as far back as 3.4 billion years ago. Of course, the modus operandi for an apologist is to sidestep these facts while at the same time claiming the conflicting teachings of LDS Apostles are not "official" church doctrine.
Open Minded Mormon Everett, 00May 19, 2014 11:47 a.m.
"Roughly 64 percent of the scientists surveyed described themselves as either atheists or agnostics..."
Good one, nice "Spin"...
You know, agnostics believe in a GOD, they just don't think one particular religion does all the speaking for Him/Her/It.
Thomas Jefferson is a perfect eaxmple of someone who was agnostic.
BTW - He was also a Scientist.

@Tyler D
Making up explanations is not the same as truth.
If you actually study evolution and the words and phrases they use, and it is as much or more magic as anything else.
And quite frankly, it does not explain anywhere the near the 99.9% you claim. In fact it probably less than 10% that it can actually prove.
Without a whole a truck load of assumptions and suppositions and invented stories and invented relationships, and the discarding of evidence that does not fit, or shucking it off to a supposed or assumed dead branch. IT can explain very little.
An explanation is just a story unless it is the truth.
Intelligent design (which even Richard dawkins believes is required by evolution to explain the beginnings of life, he mentioned aliens, how is that different from God?) explains 100% of everything.
@Tyler D
by the way, that is NOT the definition of brainwashing, brainwashing is the employing of techniques to get someone believe in that which the brainwasher is knows to be false for his or her own agenda.
Tyler D Meridian, IDMay 19, 2014 8:45 a.m.
@greatbam22 – "I would like to hear your definition of brain washing."
Good question…
If I started teaching my child from an early age that Zeus was the all-powerful creator of the universe and day after day we said prayers to Zeus, told stories about Zeus, equated all sorts of happy coincidences to Zeus, explained to him that it was Zeus (rather than his conscience) who told him what was right, and that basically all the good things in this life and an eternal paradise in the next were the work of Zeus.
And then just in case the "carrot" approach didn't work I also told him that to not believe in Zeus was the gravest sin and that none of these things would be given to him if he didn't believe (and his Mom, a more Zeus literalist, told him he would actually be tortured for eternity after he died if he didn't believe).
And I did all this through the age when he's sure to listen to what I say and before he can reason in a critical manner himself.
That a pretty good definition, I think…

@JSB - "To me, "intelligent design" is a logical answer."
Read David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion and tell us afterward if you still believe so.
Like any science, we are still adding to our knowledge all the time, but evolution can explain about 99.9% of the geologic time processes of the universe. Without evolution you cannot explain anything without evoking a "poof, it's magic" theory.

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
John 17:3
"Religion can be and often is a force for good, but where it causes people to turn away from the facts, reason, and truth in a way that is detrimental to society, it is a force for evil."
Fact: There is no eye witness account of the forming of the earth. From my understanding it was formed from matter un-organized. That could mean a lot of different things.
Either way it really doesn't bother me (parts of the earth might be millions of years old and some of it may be thousands) and either way it sounds like a weak excuse for people who don't want to believe.
@ Tyler D
I would like to hear your definition of brain washing. I have thought about this concept quite deeply because I heard the phrase attributed specifically from other Christians towards Mormons and now from you towards religious people in general.
I have heard this term mentioned frequently but a lot less frequently explained in great detail by the person using it.
the truth Holladay, UTMay 18, 2014 5:52 p.m.
There is no war between PURE religion and PURE science.
After all truth is truth no matter the source.
The problem is that both have been defiled by men with personal agendas chiefly based around power, control, and money (but are other motivators as well) and helped along by misguided people or just plain and even willing ignorance from others.
There is no mountain of evidence that the earth is billions of years old.
It is just BELIEF by science based how long they BELIEVE certain geologic processes took.
If God is God then why couldn't he have made those processes happen much faster than they BELIEVE?
Funny ain't it, how so much evolutionary related science is entirely built on belief and assumption and supposition?
JSB Sugar City, IDMay 18, 2014 3:37 p.m.
Why the conflict? I have defended Darwin's evolution in many different settings because of some of the strange things religious people have said about it. But, I am not so blind that I can't see inexplicable problems with evolution. For example:
The Cambrian explosion is a geological fact yet it runs directly counter to Darwin's theory that evolution is orderly.
Evolution cannot explain complex anatomical adaptation. The inner ear, for example, is complex and composed of different interdependent parts that had to evolve independently but simultaneously in order for the organ to function. It is beyond comprehension to think that these organs just spontaneously happened.
These are just a couple of many problems with Darwin's evolution. To me, "intelligent design" is a logical answer. If something is designed, there must have been designer. For example: Though not nearly as complex as the inner ear, it is obvious that Stonehenge was a human creation (i.e. intelligent design), and not some strange geological quirk. If Stonehenge was actually created by somebody, then why is it so hard to accept intelligent design when studying the Cambrian explosion, DNA, or the development of complex organs and systems?

Karen R., it makes no sense to tell someone, "Go ahead and claim certainty if you must, but don't say you 'know.'" Sigh...However, one can claim to know without also claiming their way is the only way.
@ Henry Drummond
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Would you mind clarifying? Are you saying that religion creates contradictions for science and a spiritual foundation is required to navigate them?
Karen R. Houston, TXMay 18, 2014 1:45 p.m.
@ samhill
"Science **must** remain skeptical and, therefore, FAITHfully hope its scientific data-based conclusions are accurate. That is as it should be."
Scientists should hope and pray that their conclusions are correct? I'm glad my doctor doesn't agree with you.
And, yes - believers can and certainly do claim absolute knowledge. Anyone can do that.
The reality is, the more knowledge we gain, the more we understand just how little we really know. Anyone or anything offering certainty in such a context is selling a false promise.
If you think you need spiritual certainty to provide hope or meaning, fine. But please, please drop the claim that you "know" and that what you know is the "one right way." It is human nature to get our backs up a bit when someone tells us, "Not only are you wrong, you're not going to get the prize at the end." These are fighting words, not words of peace.
John Pack Lambert of Michigan Ypsilanti, MIMay 18, 2014 12:28 p.m.
Those who see science and religion as being in conflict have normally simplified the teachings or one or both of them.
There is no teaching of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that limits the age of the earth to 6,000 years. Even the most literalist Mormon readers of scripture insist on the earth being at least twice that old, and many deeply believing people have found ways to accept the earth being much older than that.
I am saddened by how many people want to use science as a method to attack others and their beliefs, especially when a true scientist avoids being stilted and doctrinare. Sadly many people today pay lipservice to science while advancing a program that isn't science.
Henry Drummond San Jose, CAMay 18, 2014 10:22 a.m.
I don't think you are going to be successful at teaching people to "walk by faith" by trying to reconcile science and religion. You only set them up for failure. When they run into the inevitable contradictions that don't know how to deal with it, because they have no spiritual foundation to rely on.

Of course there is a war between religion and science. Religion and science teach us completely different things about race and evolution. Religion teaches that dark skins is a punishment for sin. Science teaches that white skin is the result of natural selection off of dark skin. Religion teaches that the earth is 6,000 years old, science billions of years. Science teaches that inheritance comes through DNA, religion teaches that in comes through "blood." Science teaches evolution, religion no evolution. The list goes on and on.
None of this however inclines towards the denial of a higher power.
samhill Salt Lake City, UTMay 17, 2014 7:16 p.m.
The comments by "Hutterite" demonstrate a common misunderstanding about both science and knowledge.
If there is any inconsistency it is not between Science and Religion. Rather, it is between Science and knowledge.
Science, by its very nature, can **never** make an unequivocal claim to knowledge. There is no scientific "knowledge" that is unassailable or not subject to revision or overthrow by some experience whose data contradicts that "knowledge".
Perhaps the most glaring example is the relatively recent revolution in the scientific "knowledge" of some of the most fundamental aspects of cosmology upon the discovery in the late 90's that the universe was not merely expanding but **accelerating** outward!!
That overturned so many basic concepts of mass, energy & gravity, among other foundations of physics, that the best science can do so far is to attribute the inexplicable behavior (of the universe mind you) to matter/energy appropriately named with the mysterious adverb "dark". Sort of like using the term "Terra Incognita" on maps during the great age of exploration.
Religion can claim absolute knowledge using nonscientific data (revelations, prophesies, etc.). Science **must** remain skeptical and, therefore, FAITHfully hope its scientific data-based conclusions are accurate.
That is as it should be.
A Scientist Provo, UTMay 17, 2014 5:37 p.m.
Almost every believer I know tries to make this same assertion, that science and religion are not "at war", and are not incompatible.
And almost every atheist and scientist I know does not waste any time with such silly assertions.
I wonder why that is?
By and large, Scientists are not feeling left out by religion; but religionists are sure feeling left out (and left behind) by science.
ordinaryfolks seattle, WAMay 17, 2014 4:40 p.m.
It is just too easy for religionists to claim that science is the enemy of religion. It is a cop-out. The literalists in religion control the agenda of the not-so-literalists, and put these not-so-literalists into the us vs them camp. No moderate religionist will ever disavow a conservative one, because it is seen as a portrayal of the entirety of their cosmology.
Therefore, we end up with the endless debate of attempting to reconcile science and religion. You can not.
Science can answer how but not why. And religion may offer why but not how. Intelligent people learn not to mix the two together.
It would be appropriate for religionists to leave the explanations of how something happens to the pursuit of knowledge and verifiable fact (aka science). Let every person pursue his/her own version of why, and leave it at that. Or is this just such a difficult concept? I would bet a large amount of money that vast majority of scientists and like minded folks would allow religionists to pursue the why we exist without any bother.
The Wraith Kaysville, UTMay 17, 2014 4:36 p.m.
Religion was originally invented by humans to explain the unexplained. This worked well for religion as long as those things remained unexplained. But as investigation and research found explanations for more and more of our world religions supposed answers kept shrinking. This was exacerbated by the fact that religious answers were proven wrong time and again. Religion is one of the worst inventions of humankind while the scientific method is the greatest invention we have made. Using this method as a guide has led to more amazing and powerful discoveries than one can even imagine. In all seriousness religion should have been jettisoned from society by now but it has too strong a hold on too many people. From the beginning religion claimed to have all the answers, and for some reason people still believe even after so many of those answers where shown to be wrong. Science does not have all the answers, nor does science claim to have all the answers. But it sure knows how to look for them.

"Rather, their reasons for unbelief mirror the circumstances in which other Americans find themselves: they were not raised in a religious home; they have had bad experiences with religion; they disapprove of God or see God as too changeable."
Wow, talk about throwing a bone to believers! The way this study is framed and the terms used is ridiculous. But let's break this down a bit…
"they were not raised in a religious home" – is this just another way of saying they weren't brain washed prior to developing critical thinking skills?
"they have had bad experiences with religion" – could this include a strong aversion when reading the many inconsistencies, errors, superstitions and horrors (often commanded by God) in the sacred books of religion?
"they disapprove of God" – would this include simply not believing in a fairy tale (like Santa Claus)?
"or see God as too changeable" – well sure, no fairy tale will last if it's not flexible
And what about this doosey?
"Irreligious people seem more likely to become scientists." – or, smart people are less likely to be religious.

If science reveals a mountain of evidence that the world is billions of years old, but your faith tells you quite clearly that the earth is 6000 years old, they can't both be right.
You can ignore the conflict, try to massage the difference away by fudging the numbers, or you can accept that one side is right and the other is wrong.

I completely agree with the idea that science and religion are not really at war. It does not shake my faith when I study science. My faith not based on science.

Re: McGrath's statement about the current precarious position of science and how presenting it as irreligious works against it: I think this has some validity.

Atheists may disapprove of RELIGION and see RELIGION as too changeable. Religion exists. But "God"? These respondents were either incorrectly categorized as atheistic or she didn't accurately reflect what they said.
Re: "The irreligious seem more likely to become scientists": If her subject population had been the irreligious and she had tested this hypothesis, her supposition might have merit. It wasn't, she didn't, so it has none.

No, naphazoline is not a steroid.
Naphazoline is a decongestant. It works by shrinking swollen and congested nasal tissues, relieving congestion and improving drainage and breathing through the nose.

We're back with yet another gorgeous real wedding! Today we're pleased to share Nathan and Kelly's December wedding at The Atrium at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. The couple had Mike Bell as their DJ, and we know he had an amazing time working with them on their big day. We really enjoyed seeing these photos of the wedding by the team at Photojournalism by Rodney Bailey, and we think you will too!
Nathan and Kelly picked "A Thousand Years (Part II)" by Christina Perri for their first dance. Other formalities included a father-daughter dance to "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle and a cake cutting to "Cut the Cake" by Average White Band.
Their guests were clearly having a blast dancing to their chosen playlist, which included artists like Tony Bennett, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Elton John, Bill Withers, Queen and Michael Jackson!
Congratulations, Nathan and Kelly! We wish you all the best!

Manchester United great David Beckham pays tribute to Neville Neville
MANCHESTER UNITED legend David Beckham has paid tribute following the death of Neville Neville – dad of fellow United greats Gary and Phil.
Mr Neville, 65, died in Australia on Friday after suffering a heart attack.
He was in the country to be with daughter his daughter Tracey – the England netball head coach.
Beckham, a close friend of the Neville family, posted two touching tributes to his former teammates' dad on Instagram.
First he posted a picture of himself, Gary and Phil with the Premier League trophy after Manchester United's 2002/2003 title win.
Goldenballs captioned the image: "The 2 most driven and dedicated players I've ever played with and all that has come from their background and the love of their family…"
"When someone cares for other people's children the way he does his own then you know that person is special"David Beckham on Neville Neville
He then posted a picture of Mr Neville along with the words: "When someone cares for other people's children the way he does his own then you know that person is special."
Mr Neville acted as his sons' agent during their trophy-laden careers and was a former director of League One club Bury FC.
Following news of his death the Neville family released a statement.
It read: "We would like to thank everyone at St Vincent's hospital in Sydney for the fantastic care and attention that dad received in the last few days and for their support."
Bury FC added their own tribute to Mr Neville, saying: "It is with deep regret and extremely heavy hearts that we announce the sudden death of former commercial manager, director and club ambassador, Neville Neville.
"Neville, along with wife and club secretary Jill, were in Australia to support daughter Tracey, the current England Netball team manager, in their quest for World Cup glory.
"We would like to end this statement by simply saying - 'Where would this Club be without Neville?'
"Rest in Peace big Nev."

High student loan payments can feel overwhelming, especially for new graduates or borrowers carrying a great deal of debt. You may be tempted to sign up with one of the many companies out there promising to lower your monthly payments, or getting your loans forgiven for an upfront fee. However, most of these offers are actually just an outright student loan scam.
In order avoid falling for such scams, you need to understand both how the scammers operate and what student loan repayment or forgiveness options are available to you. Here are the following red flags to look for in a student loan scam, as well as helpful options for paying down your federal student loans.
3 red flags it's a student loan scam
There are several warning signs that should make any borrower wary of student debt relief scams:
1. An upfront fee
Many student loan consolidation scams offer assistance to federal student loan borrowers for a small upfront fee. What they don't tell you is that much of the "assistance" they are offering is available to every borrower for free from the federal government.
Consolidating your student loans, qualifying for a lower monthly payment, or even qualifying for student loan forgiveness, are all programs that are available to federal student loan borrowers absolutely free.
2. Promises that are too good to be true
Many student loan repayment scams play on borrowers' desperation. These offers promise debt-relief that they cannot possibly deliver like immediate loan forgiveness or settlement of student debt that is in default.
But there is no such thing as immediate loan forgiveness. Additionally, student loan default is the responsibility of the borrower; it cannot be discharged to a third party. Any company that is offering either of these options does not have your best interests at heart.
3. Paid advertising
You have probably seen an advertisement for a student loan scam on the Internet. They often use terms or phrases that make them sound legitimate, such as "federal", "national", or even "Obama wants to eliminate your student loans!"
However, if a for-profit company is paying to advertise student loan services, then you should back away. The services they are offering are generally available to federal student loan borrowers for free. The fact that they have an advertising budget means they are making money off of borrowers who are unaware of their rights.
Know your payment and forgiveness options
The best way to protect yourself from a student loan scam is to know what your options are.
StudentLoans.gov or StudentAid.ed.gov are the two websites set up to help federal student loan borrowers navigate their options. Since many student loan scams claim to be affiliated with the Department of Education, it is always a good idea to double check their url. If the program does not use either of these urls, then it is probably a scam.
Federal student loan borrowers can also take advantage of the following government assistance programs for free:
- Direct Consolidation Loan is a government loan program that helps student loan borrowers consolidate multiple federal education loans into a new single federal loan. While Direct Consolidation can potentially lower your monthly payment, it may not necessarily save you money over the life of the loan. In fact, your term may be extended, and your overall rate may change with the consolidation.
- Graduated Repayment gives you lower payments initially on select federal student loans. However, there will be an increase in your monthly payment amount every two years within a ten year period. This plan can be very helpful to graduates with a low starting salary who anticipate earning more as their career progresses. Nonetheless, you will pay more over time with graduated repayment compared to the standard plan.
- Extended Repayment allows you to stretch out your repayment timeframe to up to 25 years on federal student loans. Your payments can be either fixed or graduated. The monthly payments will be smaller with this plan, but you will pay more over time.
- Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan (REPAYE) is only available for Direct Loan borrowers. REPAYE reduces your monthly payments to a maximum of 10 percent of your discretionary income, and this payment will be recalculated once per year. If you have not repaid your loan in full after 20 or 25 years, your outstanding balance is forgiven. Depending upon your income and other factors, your payment may be higher than it would be under the standard repayment plan. Plus, you may have to pay income tax on any amount forgiven.
- Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan (PAYE) is also only for Direct Loan borrowers. As with REPAYE, the PAYE program reduces your monthly payments to a maximum of 10 percent of your discretionary income. PAYE also recalculates your payment annually. However, unlike REPAYE your monthly payments can never be larger than they would be under the standard repayment plan. You can also have your loan balance forgiven after 20 years of payment under this plan, and you should be prepared to pay income tax on the forgiven amount. In order to qualify for PAYE, you must have a high debt relative to your income.
- Income Based Repayment (IBR) reduces your payment as low as 10 to 15 percent of your discretionary income. Your payment is recalculated each year, although you will never have a higher monthly payment with IBR than you would with a standard repayment plan. After 20 or 25 years, any remaining balance can be forgiven. However, you may have to pay income tax on the forgiven amount. In order to qualify, you must have high debt compared to your income.
- Income Contingent Repayment (ICR) is only available for borrowers with Direct Loans. Under this repayment plan, your monthly payment will be either 20 percent of your discretionary income or the amount you would pay on a 12-year fixed payment plan, whichever is lower. Your monthly repayment amount is recalculated annually. If you have not paid off your loan in 25 years under this plan, you can have the balance forgiven, although you may owe taxes on the forgiven amount.
- Income Sensitive Repayment is only for Stafford loans and FFEL PLUS loans. With this repayment plan, your monthly income is based on your annual income, and the repayment term will last up to fifteen years.
- Public Service Loan Forgiveness is a federal program designed to forgive student loan debt for employees of certain types of public service jobs, such as federal, state, local, or tribal government. Public service employees with qualifying student debt may be eligible to have their federal student loan forgiven after 10 years of repayment.

It's completely free, and the consolidation tool makes it easy to sign up for a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan or an income-driven repayment plan.

December 3rd, 2015
December 3rd, 2015
Following a blistering Auditor General's report yesterday that shows Ontario seniors continue to suffer under the province's waiting list crisis years after it was identified by the Auditor General's 2010 report, NDP Health and Long-Term Care critic France Gélinas demanded the Premier answer for five years of her government's failure to act to resolve the crisis.
"When the Liberals want to sell off our public hydro to cater to their small group of powerful friends, they move faster than ever. But when thousands of seniors suffer for months on end waiting for home care, the Liberals waste five years and the problems only get worse," said Gélinas, MPP for Nickel Belt.
In 2010, the Auditor General reported long waiting lists for home care and told the Liberal government to resolve the crisis. Now, this week's report by the Auditor General, reveals the issues remain as a staggering 65% of home care clients still do not get assessed on time, with some forced to wait 400 days or more. No standards of care have been developed, no solid oversight of private home care companies has been put in place and the list goes on.
"How can this Premier defend five years of inaction, five years of broken promises, and five years of suffering for Ontarians who deserve so much better from their government?" asked Gélinas.

WWLA Day One: All You Can Eat With Aspen
The Aspen Entertainment panel, at Wizard World L.A, featured twelve members of the Aspen staff in front of an audience of sixteen (Joe Quesada seemed to be pulling in the numbers). The numbers on both sides made the panel that much more entertaining, however, as the conversation bounced back and forth from panelists to panelist.
After introductions were made, executive vice president Frank Mastromauro provided an update on "Soulfire" #6, which was supposed to make it's debut at Wizard World L.A, but unfortunately only a few copies were available. The issue will be released across the country as scheduled.
"That was really the only bummer about the weekend," said Mastromauro, "because we were kind of looking forward to having 'Soulfire' #6 for everybody."
Mastromauro went on to discuss Aspen's latest title, "Shrugged," specifically praising the artwork by Micah Gunnel and Jason Gorder.
"Micah's the perfect match for this," said vice president of publishing, and colorist, Peter Seigerwald.
From there, discussion moved on to the slide show, complete with various stop and starts for computer difficulties (evidently Steigerwald is a Pearl Jam fan, judging by the music on his laptop).
They covered each Aspen property:
"Fathom" will be moving towards a conclusion. "For those who have been reading the story, it's one long, big epic story," said writer JT Krul. "You'll see in issue eleven – which I'm writing now – that everything comes together."
"And Koi's work is just getting stronger and stronger," he added, referring to "Fathom" penciler Koi Turnbull.
"I hope you enjoy the last page," added Turnbull with a knowing smile.
"Chaos Reigns" will, according to Krul, "bridge the gap between season one and season two" of Soulfire. The goal is to lay the groundwork for things to come in the regular "Soulfire" series.
Aspen will also be participating in this year's Free Comic Book Day with a book called "Worlds of Aspen." The comic will feature pieces from "Shrugged" and "Fathom" as well as the premiere of the first six pages of "Chaos Reigns."
They also showed a few of the covers Michael Turner has done recently for Marvel, including an accidental sneak peak at the cover of next month's "Wizard," featuring Iron Man and Captain America.
"Who had their camera ready?" asked Seigerwald.
During the Q&A, Turner mentioned that his deal with Marvel involved doing covers and interiors, the latter being seen "this time next year."
With a number of Aspen message board members in attendance, the conversation quickly turned to studio hi-jinx, particularly eating competitions.
They started with Coldstone ice cream. "How fast can Frank eat a half a gallon?" asked Seigerwald.
The competition moved on to a six-patty cheeseburger. "For those of you who saw the picture on our message board, it was pretty foul looking," said Seigerwald.
According to the panelists, the future includes Hawaiian barbecue chicken and, from all indications, more great comics.

Huawei and over 20 SDN/NFV partners attended the recent Huawei eco-Connect Europe in Paris. Huawei demonstrated the latest achievements of its SDN/NFV Open ecosystem, multi-vendor integration capabilities and innovative solutions. It was the also the first time that Huawei has fully demonstrated its ecosystem capabilities in Western Europe.
Mr. Yang Tao (pictured), Huawei's Western European Marketing Director, said, "The aim of the digital transformation for carrier operators is to develop new business by expanding into new areas, to aggregate more content, to close more partnerships and to improve network efficiency. The ultimate goal is to provide a user experience, which Huawei summarizes as 'ROADS': Everything shall be delivered in real time, on demand, in an always online world, in a do it yourself mode and through social means.
"The comprehensive cloudified network, open platform and agile IT system are the most effective digital transformation tools and technical means to support operators. For the SDN/ NFV reconstruction of operators' networks and for making full use of a networks' power, Huawei is seeking to work together with more partners to build an open ecosystem for promoting ubiquitous cloud networks," continued Tao.
Huawei and Vodafone jointly release SDN/NFV and IES enabled open API innovation initiatives
At the conference, Huawei and Vodafone jointly announced an innovation initiative to enable Open APIs and a platform business model for SDN, NFV and Cloud Services under the umbrella of the TM Forum's Open API and platform programs. The initiative focused on enterprises, SMEs, and drones.
Dr. Lester Thomas (pictured), Chief Systems Architect at Vodafone Group said, "The challenge we are aiming to overcome is to make a mass market offering which attracts developers to the Open Cloud infrastructure. We believe in the power of an Open API architecture that can generate new revenues with a platform based business model."
Huawei and Brocade undertake initiative to create a multi-vendor integrated SDN program for the blue-ocean B2B market
Huawei and Brocade Communications have created an innovation initiative. The two parties will give full access to their respective business resources to each other. This collaborative innovation will fully exploit SDN advantages and help SDN applications to break through.
Brian Levy (pictured below), CTO EMEA, Brocade said, "Enterprises and service providers are increasingly looking at software to build and orchestrate their network infrastructure and they want a seamless path to that future by having the ability to start deploying SDN and virtualized network services today."
"Brocade and Huawei are committed to open source-based platforms, which allow both companies to co-innovate and deliver solutions that are designed for today's requirements for open, agile, software-centric networks."
Huawei with its leading partners Infoblox, Radware, and Canonical also showcased the results of the SDN Open Ecosystem based on the Cloud VPN solution, which can effectively reduce OPEX and help operators to diversify their customers. Through open cooperation Huawei and its partners will jointly unleash the full potential of the cloud B2B market.
Huawei, in collaboration with leading research institutes, presented the industry's first SDN/NFV open ecosystem theory
Professor Slinger Jansen (pictured) from Utrecht University presented the results of the universities joint research with Huawei. The professor presented a set of SDN/NFV ecosystem theory frameworks and business models, as well as a complete open ecosystem maturity evaluation model. Professor Slinger's study showed that over the last two years most of the parties involved such as standards organizations and manufacturers are enhancing their positions in the SDN/NFV ecosystem.
Huawei have not only established partnerships with partners such as Mirantis and Canonical, but have also played an important role in standards and open source organizations. In the past two years, Huawei have significantly strengthened its cooperation with its partners from upstream and downstream and have come to play an important role in the industry chain. Professor Slinger's research shows that Huawei is one of the fastest growing manufacturers in the SDN/ NFV ecosystem.
HUAWEI eco-Connect Europe 2016 marked a new step in Huawei's SDN/NFV open eco-innovation and multi-vendor integration efforts. Huawei have established partnerships with more than 50 partners and organizations in the field of SDN/NFV in order to jointly promote the transformation of carrier networks.

Knee-high socks slip into history
TELLING someone to pull their socks up could soon be a waste of time.
Future generations are likely to be baffled by the phrase as knee-high socks become a thing of the past for British men.
Demand for the long woollen socks has slumped with modern lightweight shoes making them impractical and uncomfortable.
Instead, men wear ankle socks, ultra short sports socks – or no socks at all.
The change brings an end to a century-long tradition exported across the world by Britain's armed forces.
Knee-length socks once conquered an empire but now they seem to be fading into history
Ed Watson, of Debenhams stores, said: "Knee-length socks once conquered an empire but now they seem to be fading into history."
He added: "While some men still refuse to part with tradition, knee-high socks are now worn primarily by school children and Swiss yodelling champions."
