A very big report came out last month with very little fanfare. It concluded what we in nuclear science have been saying for decades – radiation doses less than about 10 rem (0.1 Sv) are no big deal. The linear no-threshold dose hypothesis (LNT) does not apply to doses less than 10 rem (0.1 Sv), which is the region encompassing background levels around the world, and is the region of most importance to nuclear energy, most medical procedures and most areas affected by accidents like Fukushima.
The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) (UNSCEAR 2012) submitted the report that, among other things, states that uncertainties at low doses are such that UNSCEAR "does not recommend multiplying low doses by large numbers of individuals to estimate numbers of radiation-induced health effects within a population exposed to incremental doses at levels equivalent to or below natural background levels." (UNDOC/V1255385)
You know, like everyone's been doing since Chernobyl. Like everyone's still doing with Fukushima.
Finally, the world may come to its senses and not waste time on the things that aren't hurting us and spend time on the things that are. And on the people that are in real need. Like the infrastructure and economic destruction wrought by the tsunami, like cleaning up the actual hot spots around Fukushima, like caring for the tens of thousands of Japanese living in fear of radiation levels so low that the fear itself is the only thing that is hurting them, like seriously preparing to restart their nuclear fleet and listening to the IAEA and the U.S. when we suggest improvements.
The advice on radiation in this report will clarify what can, and cannot, be said about low dose radiation health effects on individuals and large populations. Background doses going from 250 mrem (2.5 mSv) to 350 mrem (3.5 mSv) will not raise cancer rates or have any discernable effects on public health. Likewise, background doses going from 250 mrem (2.5 mSv) to 100 mrem (1 mSv) will not decrease cancer rates or effect any other public health issue.
Note – although most discussions are for acute doses (all at once) the same amount as a chronic dose (metered out over a longer time period like a year) is even less effecting. So 10 rem (0.1 Sv) per year, either as acute or chronic, has no observable effect, while 10 rem per month might.
UNSCEAR also found no observable health effects from last year's nuclear accident in Fukushima. No effects.
The Japanese people can start eating their own food again, and moving back into areas only lightly contaminated with radiation levels that are similar to background in many areas of the world like Colorado and Brazil.
The huge waste of money that is passing for clean-up now by just moving around dirt and leaves (NYTimes) can be focused on clean-up of real contamination near Fukushima using modern technologies. The economic and psychological harm wrought by the wrong-headed adoption of linear no-threshold dose effects for doses less than 0.1 Sv (10 rem) has been extremely harmful to the already stressed population of Japan, and to continue it would be criminal.
To recap LNT, the Linear No-Threshold Dose hypothesis is a supposition that all radiation is deadly and there is no dose below which harmful effects will not occur. Double the dose, double the cancers. First put forward after WWII by Hermann Muller, and adopted by the world body, including UNSCEAR, its primary use was as a Cold War bargaining chip to force cessation of nuclear weapons testing. The fear of radiation that took over the worldview was a side-effect (Did Muller Lie?).
Of course, doubling the dose doesn't double the cancers below 10 rem/yr (0.1 Sv/yr). It has no effect at all. The millions of nuclear workers that have been monitored closely for 50 years have no higher cancer mortality than the general population but have had several to ten times the average dose. People living in New Mexico and Wyoming have twice the annual dose as those in Los Angeles, but have lower cancer rates. These cannot occur if LNT were true, because LNT states this could not occur.
There are no observable effects in any population group around the planet that suggest LNT is true below 10 rem/yr (0.1 Sv/yr) even in areas of the Middle East, Brazil and France where natural background doses exceed 10 rem/yr (0.1 Sv/yr).
Although rarely discussed, LNT does not take into account the organisms immune system, biological recovery time between doses or other relevant mechanisms that operate at low doses on an actual organism versus cells in a petri dish.
UNSCEAR is an independent body of international experts that has met regularly since 1955 and helped establish radiation as the best understood, though weakest, carcinogenic agent in the world through its studies of atomic bomb survivors, the effects of the Chernobyl accident, industrial radiological accidents, and medical radiation treatment.
Many of us have been at them for years to stop procrastinating and prevaricating on something so important that the inaction itself is harmful. This report is a welcome change. The report, approved by the United Nations General Assembly, will now serve to guide all countries of the world in setting their own national radiation safety policies.
This is incredibly important to Japan where national guideline changes have been horribly over-reactive in response to Fukushima, especially for food, using LNT in a way it should not be used.
Regulatory Limits On Radioactivity In Foods (in Bq/kg)*
Country Water Milk Foodstuffs Babyfoods
Japan 10 200 100 50
*Japan's new limits for radiation in food
Accepted global limits on radioactivity levels in foods is 1000 Bq/kg (1,200 Bq/kg in the U.S.). Dominated by cesium-137 and Sr-90, these levels were set by organizations like the IAEA and UNSCEAR after decades of study. Because of public radiation fears broadcast in the press after the Fukushima accident, Japan cut the limit in half hoping it would have a calming influence. But the level of fear remained high, so Tokyo lowered the limits to one-tenth of the international standards.
This was supposed to induce calm? Telling the public that radiation is even more deadly than they thought? That their food is toxic? Were they nuts?
This has had the unintended consequence of making people even more afraid of what they are eating, moving safe foods into the scary category and limiting food exports, causing even further economic and social damage.
Suddenly, all sorts of normally safe foods are now banned. Wild mushrooms from Aomori Prefecture are now banned because they have cesium levels of about 120 Bq/kg. This cesium has nothing to do with Fukushima, it's the same type as is in everyone's food around the world, and it wouldn't have rated a second look before the accident (Japan's Contamination Limits Way Too Low).
The Japanese people should not be punished for nothing. But these new results and the UNSCEAR reports demonstrate that they are being punished. There was no reason to lower the rad limits on food, especially after the short-lived nuclides have long decayed away. One of the incorrect assumptions was that people in Japan would be eating only contaminated food, which is quite wrong. The international limits were set for very good reasons, lowering them makes no sense except to further hurt farmers and consumers in Japan.
UNSCEAR's chair Wolfgang Weiss stated that no radiation health effects had been observed in Japan among the public, workers or children in the area of the damaged nuclear power plants, in keeping with studies already published by the World Health Organization and Tokyo University. Doses of radiation received by people near the damaged power plant were so low that no discernible health effect could be expected.
The Japanese government, for all its failures, did the right thing in evacuating Fukushima Prefecture quickly and by preventing contaminated food and water from being consumed. This was in stark contrast to Chernobyl where the Soviets intentionally kept the public in the dark.
Ingestion of the short-lived isotope iodine-131, with its well-known risk of thyroid cancer when absorbed in the thyroid glands of children and young people, was the only major radiation-related health effect of the Chernobyl accident on the public. And the Soviets could have prevented that by acting quickly and openly. Of course, the Soviets didn't much care about the public.
This will not happen in Japan. Iodine-131, with a half-life of only 8 days, decayed away in a few months following the accident and no one was found to have ingested any significant amount.
According to the reports, six Fukushima workers received total doses of over 0.25 Sv (25 rem) during their time fighting the emergency, while 170 workers received doses between 0.1 and 0.25 Sv (10 to 25 rem). None have shown ill effects and most likely never will. Radiation played no role in the coincidental deaths of six Fukushima workers in the time since the accident, who died from accidents, e.g., being crushed by debris or being swept out to sea.
Yes, there are health effects of radiation above 0.1 Sv (10 rem) that statistically increase up to 1 Sv (100 rem) but even in this higher range it's hard to see them without a big enough population. The only radiation events on this scale, where large populations received 0.1 Sv (10 rem) to 1 Sv (100 rem) have been the atomic bomb blasts from World War II.
The effects of radiation only start to become clear at high acute absorbed doses of over 1 Sv (100 rem), and even then it is necessary to eliminate other potential causes before radiation can be unequivocally said to be the cause, advised UNSCEAR.
What this means for nuclear waste disposal is even more dramatic, but more on that later!
In the end, if we don't reorient ourselves on what is true about radiation and not on the fear, we will fail the citizens of Japan, Belarus and the Ukraine, and we will continue to spend time and money on the wrong things. I'm sure the anti-nuke ideologues and conspiracy theorists will not accept these U.N. reports, but then…they don't like the United Nations anyway.
oregonstu: Really? Why then does the UNSCEAR's assessment of Chernobyl health affects state:
"…there is no clearly demonstrated increase in the incidence of solid cancers or leukaemia due to radiation in the exposed populations. Neither is there any proof of other non-malignant disorders that are related to ionizing radiation. However, there were widespread psychological reactions to the accident, which were due to fear of the radiation, not to the actual radiation doses…"
It goes on to say:
"…There is a tendency to attribute increases in the rates of all cancers over time to the Chernobyl accident, but it should be noted that increases were also observed before the accident in the affected areas. Moreover, a general increase in mortality has been reported in recent decades in most areas of the former Soviet Union, and this must be taken into account when interpreting the results of the accident-related studies…"
Other studies after publication of the UNSCEAR report are now finding that even the increase in thyroid cancers can now be attributed to increased thyroid screenings in the area not from the effects of radioiodine from the accident.
Try reading the science from reputable sites. Stay away from the junk science from enenews.
And as anon has pointed out, LNT has been reaffirmed as valid by majority peer review for decades. And as I have pointed out before, there are government statistics from multiple countries on diseases, deformities, and deaths from known cases that deviate from historical patterns since Chernobyl. These can be construed as validating LNT as well.
Those numbers are LNT numbers that UNSCEAR themselves quoted in that report… and as anon pointed out, LNT has been affirmed as valid by peer review for decades. Now, it seems that the powers that be have decided that, in light of the massive dispersal of radionuclides from Fukushima, they need to backtrack on even this truncated admission of health effects from Chernobyl. Thus we see this full scale effort to re-write "science" and the official narrative on these events. It really is quite fascinating to see you guys perform, I must say.
Not exponential, additive.
" if we don't use something there is no risk from it"
Hang on… if we don't use education there is a very large risk from the oregonstu types!
Since Dr. Cuttler has been called out and defamed, but as usual, is too much of a gentleman to flout his academic credentials, I want the disinterested reader to know something about his background. Also Dr. Pollycove, who was cited unfavorably earlier.
In my opinion Dr. Cuttler is one of the foremost scientists in the world in the field of radiation protection. Maybe this will help you decide who here is operating from a platform of knowledge, experience, and scientific reason, and who is the hysterical radiophobe clinging to outdated myths: http://www.computare.org/Support%20documents/Guests/Computare%20PDF%20Western%20Focus%20Seminar/Bios/WF4/6%20-%20Cuttler_Polycove%20Bios.pdf
atomikrabbit (aka Jerry Cutler): Every academic discipline has examples of those who sell their integrity to the powers that be, and nowhere is this more pervasive than in the fields related to the nuclear industry, with the possible exception of economics. If you think that having a Phd behind your name should give anyone carte blanche to get away with blatant falsehoods and bogus methodology you should think again.
Well nice attempt to insinuate that atomikrabbit is is Dr. Cuttler. You're incorrect, but I guess when you don't have a legitimate argument you must resort to these tactics.
Do you have a legitimate arguments against anything Jerry Cutler has done or said other than an attempt to now insinuate that he is somehow bought off by a big bad "nuclear industry"? What is the nuclear industry anyway? I work in nuclear power and I am yet to find a big bad nuclear industry or lobby. There are companies that own nuclear plants, but they also own a lot of fossil fuel plants. Just please point me to any evidence of a nuclear industry that is somehow the puppet master behind international scientific bodies but yet can barely get plants built in North America.

His challenge was how to interpret the iconic brand in an authentic, artful way; how to introduce a store in a neighborhood tilted toward both commerce and creativity.
Eight gallons of paint and 15 brushes later, witness the façade of the new Louis Vuitton store in the Design District a watercolor veil of teals, pinks and purples by the celebrated graffiti writer.
Louis Vuitton commissioned Marquis Lewis, known as RETNA, to create an original work on the buildings exterior walls, a first for the luxury brand. He delivered with a distinctly Miami palette and reinterpreted the Louis Vuitton name in his signature hieroglyphics, a style informed by ancient global cultures.
Using their stores exterior as a canvas for street art is exceptional and truly inspiring for me as an artist, says RETNA, 33, who also designed a complementary scarf to be sold on store shelves.
Drawn to the energy and vibrancy of gang graffiti, RETNA a name adopted from a Wu-Tang Clan track picked up his first spray can at 9 years old. He spent his formative years perfecting the art of graffiti, painting freeway overpasses and bridges throughout his native Los Angeles.
RETNAs art form is complex, wrought with stories, and almost always including his own alphabet, born of a hybrid of global influences: Incan, Egyptian, Asian, Hebrew and Arabic and Native American visual writings, hieroglyphic and ink calligraphy.
It wasnt long before the art world took notice. Last year, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles featured RETNAs work in its Art in the Streets exhibit. Calling RETNAs work fresh and effortless, MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch compared the artist to a great jazz musician who improvises within a framework.
RETNA is currently showing an exhibit of paintings, works on paper and a site-specific installation at the Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles.
Here in Miami, his newest creation celebrates the arrival of Louis Vuitton in the Design District.
Louis Vuitton opened Friday in a temporary store; it will be replaced by a permanent location in the neighborhood in 2014.
We are thrilled with the opportunity to collaborate with RETNA, an artist whose work blurs the lines between beauty and edge, said Valérie Chapoulaud-Floquet, president and chief executive officer of Louis Vuitton North America. The Design District, an area pulsing with artistic, innovative and creative energy, is a natural home for Louis Vuitton and we look forward to sharing RETNAs extraordinary work with the neighborhood.
The label, founded in 1854, has almost always blurred the lines between art, fashion and design, working with artists across disciplines.
When Marc Jacobs became the brands artistic director in 1997, he invited contemporary artists to collaborate, among them Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami and the late Stephen Sprouse, who all treated the iconic monogram as muse. But its not just purses, bags and accessories that have received the artistic treatment: The canvas has taken the form of site-specific installations, store window designs and art exhibits.
On the eighth day of RETNAs project, in the whirl of painting, he claimed a seat on steps inside the Moore Building and chatted with The Miami Herald.
Q. So, you get the opportunity to create a mural for the façade for Louis Vuitton. What is your inspiration?

A Noah's Ark Model |
Price per Unit (piece):
Ask a question about this product | ||
Actual size of Noah's Ark was; 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Our model is; 6 feet long, 1 foot wide and 7.5 inches high. Kit comes with 14 pairs of animals and 7 pairs of dinosaurs all at 1/75 scale. Assembly will take several hours the first because you have to attach the Velcro. Later assemblies take an hour or less. Also includes: Booklet on Noah's Ark from Answers in Genesis; "Flood Cards" from Answers in Genesis, Complete set of directions and Sunday School or VBS lesson Ideas for using your Noah's Ark kit • Use it as a teaching aid for a Sunday School lesson on Noah's Ark. Most children's Sunday School curricula teach on Noah's Ark at least once a year. At that time, get out the ark, put it together, and illustrate the lesson with it. The kids will never forget that lesson. • Use it in a one-time Sunday School lesson. We have included a sample lesson that could be used. Use that one or make up your own. • Use it for Vacation Bible School. Use the sample lesson included in the kit or other VBS lesson plans. • Use it in conjunction with family devotions when reading Genesis 6-9. • Use it for a great Sunday game. My children like to play Noah's Ark on Sunday afternoon. I like the fact that they are playing a game that keeps their minds on things of the Bible. They use Lego people for Noah's family (they are just the right size). They take Popsicle sticks and build corrals and pens and stalls and lofts and all kinds of things. And every minute they spend playing this game, they are having imprinted on their minds how absolutely huge the ark actually was! • Use it in home schooling. Makes part of a great unit study. History could include when the flood occurred, Ussher's chronology, cultures before and after the flood. Science would include biology and taxonomy (the difference between species, genus, and kind), flood geology (where did all the water come from and go to), and physics (would the ark float, how much water would it displace, and could it capsize). Math could include the size of the ark, converting cubits to feet, ratios and fractions (this ark is on a scale of 1:75), and volume. Language arts could include reading the account in the Bible, reading related books on the ark and the flood, writing a paper or other composition on some aspect of Noah, the Ark, and the flood. The Story of Fidelity Bible Kits Fidelity Bible Kits was started by Paul and Judi English in 2002 from their home in North Carolina. Paul, who was home schooled on the mission field in South Korea, and his wife Judi have been home schooling their seven children (number eight is due in November, 2003) since they were born. Over the years, creation science has become a hobby of Paul's. In early 2002 Paul wanted to make an accurate scale model of the Ark to show his children how big it actually was. He could find nothing like this ark kit on the market, so he decided to make one himself. As he worked on it, he became inspired to make a model that could be reproduced and sold to other parents and teachers to help children (and adults) understand the truth about Noah's Ark and the flood. |

My son and I climbed by the new Williams Lake trail last Sunday- very good hiking but still a difficult climb that I as a 63 year old irregular hiker should have trained more for, but I made it. Highlight aside from making the summit was getting within 50 yards of a herd of 10 bighorn sheep--amazing. Weather was spectacular. I would recommend this to anyone in reasonable condition- nice views and good hiking challenge plus even someone like me can make it up and back in 6-7 hours. | ||

started early but thunderstorms rolled in about 8 am. we drove out from CA to do wheeler peak so we decided to wait the storm out. about an hour later we finished the hike to the summit and loved it. i'll be the blasphemous dude who thought Wheeler and Walter were more impressive than Mt. Elbert! We took the new Williams Lake Trail which was very well marked. I thought it was pretty strenuous, but it was a nice relatively short hike. Saw lots of big horn sheep, massive marmots, and some sort of guinea hen looking bird. this was actually probably the highlight of my hiking trip to Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. | ||

Got to Williams Lake Trailhead at about midnight and hiked to the lake in the pitch black. Arrived at the lake at about 2am. Woke up to stunning scenery and summited at about noon. While you are there you might as well get in Old mike, Simpson, Walter, and Frazer peaks for a 5 peak day. Camped in the La Cal Basin 2nd night. Made the mistake of trying to bushwhack my way down a super steep (70% Grade at max) valley next to Frazer, to avoid the boring and long bull-of-woods trail. Don't do it... I fell 16 times, and with a 20kg backpack you'll be somersaulting down the mountain. Certainly a quick, but not pleasant way to get down. | ||

Hiked up Bull of the Woods trail as an overnighter, camping just below tree line at the La Cal basin. We were above tree line for so long though, and it was just stunning scenery for a Florida guy like myself. The elevation didn't really mess with us, thankfully, and we made it without a problem. I absolutely loved this area, inc nearby Taos, in northern NM. Wheeler was tough, yet rewarding. STATE HP #25!! Halfway home. | ||

Strolled up the Bull of the Woods trail. The snow was solid and I didn't need my snowshoes nor ice axe. Took close to 5 hours to reach the peak (including breaks, lunch, etc). The avy danger seemed very low, so I descended via Williams Lake. That was fast, took an hour, but the only problem was my car was at the other trailhead, and so I had a long walk down the dirt road to get back to it. No one around to hitch a ride from either! | ||

My first attempt at a 13'er. And really, my first time out hiking in quite a while. So a little out of shape, but mentally determined... Took the trail to Williams Lake and missed the turn to take the trail to the top. So I saw Williams Lake, and ended up scrambling up the mountain with a few others that had missed the turn, until we got back on trail. Lots of people hiking that day, some would hike with me for a while then press on, and I would do the same. I encountered an older gentleman, recently retired from the Army and recently recovered from knee replacement (both) surgery, whose doctor had given him the go-ahead to hike. Both of us were out of shape, but we became each other's encouragement, as we hiked along. Finally, he got winded and slowed down and told me to press on, which I did. 50 steps, stop, breathe. That was the mantra for the last hour of hiking to the summit, with each daunting view of the summit, you realize how difficult a 13'er is... But I finally made it, and enjoyed my accomplishment with about 50 other people at the summit. Stayed there for 1/2 hour or so enjoying the view and talking with others, taking pictures and hydrating. On the way back down, I passed my Army friend, who still had about 1/2 hour of climbing to go. I offered him some water and some words of encouragement. 7 hours round trip to the summit and back... not bad, I thought. Physically, the most difficult thing I've ever done. Can't wait to do more! | ||

You probably don't realise how much this fails, as the source has a WHITE background. Unless you want a pure white background sig with bad blending then you really want a RENDER.
I suggest planetrenders.net which offers good anime and other genre renders (transparent background) that will help you the most when a person can make you a sig.
Next time, request in the same thread. No need to create a new one if you are just modifying your original request.

Creatures are the inhabitants of Tibia aside from human players and NPCs. Every different type creature has its own characteristics which make it unique.
Creatures share the entire world of Tibia, so they can be found all throughout the land. They will generally stay with other creatures of their own kind, and different creatures prefer different environments. This is why you can find Deer and Rabbits in grassy places. Slimes will always be found near water (usually underground), Dwarves spend most of their time in the mines and Demons prefer places deep underground. Usually, the most dangerous places are the hardest to reach.
When creatures die they leave a Corpse

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Six artists are collaborating and creating a kid-friendly space at Baptist St. Anthony's Children's Hospital.
The project isn't completed yet, but many rooms are being painted and sculptures are being created for the open common area between the rooms. Judy Lynch is spearheading the operation. Her 8-year-old son stays in the hospital on occasion. She said she wanted to make the environment more kid-friendly and she says the hospital was fully supportive.
She says it began as a modest, simple idea of a little paint, but then she approached the Children's Miracle Network for a small donation. Lynch saw it snowball from there.
"Children's Miracle Network gave me $100,000. Then Walmart gave us $100,000. And my husband and I organize a triathlon every year. It raises money for the Children's Miracle Network, and it raised $100,000. So we went from doing a little bit of free artwork to a $300,000 budget."
They hope to have the project completed by June.

Around the NFC North: Offseason Moves and Views on the Vikings, Bears and Lions
What have the teams in the NFC North not named the Green Bay Packers been up to this offseason? Read on and find out.
Minnesota Vikings
Players Released: G Steve Hutchinson, G Anthony Herrera, CB Cedric Griffin, NT Remi Ayodele, TE Jim Kleinsasser (retired)
Free Agents Signed: TE John Carlson, FB Jerome Felton, RB Lex Hilliard, OL Geoff Schwartz, CB Zack Bowman
Re-Signings: DT Fred Evans, QB Sage Rosenfels, DL Letroy Guion, WR Devin Aromashodu
Holes on Roster: CB, S, LT, LG and WR
The Vikings ditched the Triangle of Authority and named Rick Spielman sole general manager not long after their 2011 season (mercifully) ended. Naturally, many Vikings fans expected Spielman to start signing free agents as soon as possible, anything to erase the memories of a 3-13 season that saw the Vikings take several steps backward while the Packers, Lions and Bears got better.
Those marquee free-agent signings never came. Instead, Spielman appears to be doing his best Ted Thompson impersonation by signing no-name free agents and talking about building through the draft. The one exception was signing TE John Carlson to a five-year, $25 million deal.
The Vikings are in a weird spot. They have a young QB that may or may not be a long-term solution. Their best offensive player tore his ACL at the end of last season. Their coach has no personality and is unproven. And their defense keeps getting older.

- Since 'tis certain that Earth and Jupiter have their Water and Clouds, there is no reason why the other Planets should be without them. I can't say that they are exactly of the same nature with our Water; but that they should be liquid their use requires, as their beauty does that they be clear. This Water of ours, in Jupiter or Saturn, would be frozen up instantly by reason of the vast distance of the Sun. Every Planet therefore must have its own Waters of such a temper not liable to Frost.
- Christiaan Huygens (1695). Cosmotheoros, Book I. p. 27.
- What a wonderful and amazing Scheme have we here of the magnificent Vastness of the Universe! So many Suns, so many Earths, and every one of them stock'd with so many Herbs, Trees and Animals, and adorn'd with so many Seas and Mountains! And how must our wonder and admiration be encreased when we consider the prodigious distance and multitude of the Stars?
- Christiaan Huygens (1695). Cosmotheoros, Book II. p. 150-151.
- One finds in this subject a kind of demonstration which does not carry with it so high a degree of certainty as that employed in geometry; and which differs distinctly from the method employed by geometers in that they prove their propositions by well-established and incontrovertible principles, while here principles are tested by inferences which are derivable from them. The nature of the subject permits of no other treatment. It is possible, however, in this way to establish a probability which is little short of certainty. This is the case when the consequences of the assumed principles are in perfect accord with the observed phenomena, and especially when these verifications are numerous; but above all when one employs the hypothesis to predict new phenomena and finds his expectations realized.
- Christiaan Huygens (1690) Treatise on Light - preface, Translated by Michael R. Matthews, Scientific Background to Modern Philosophy. 1989. p.126
- The world is my country, to promote science is my religion.
- The earliest citation of this remark yet found is in Cosmos: A Personal Voyage (Episode 6) from 1980, where it is phrased The world is my country, science my religion.
- Also in The Making of Modern Europe, 1648-1780 (1985) by Geoffrey Treasure, p. 474, it is declared that this was Huygens' "motto" — but this seems very similar to the much more famous and long attested declaration of Thomas Paine in Rights of Man (1791): "My country is the world, and my religion is to do good" which has long been paraphrased "The world is my country, and to do good is my religion."

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket soars into space from Space Launch Complex 40 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 3:44 a.m. EDT on May 22, 2012, carrying the Dragon capsule to orbit.
Image: Robert Pearlman/collectSPACE.com
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Private spaceflight supporters saw a major validation today (May 22) with the successful launch of the first commercial vehicle to visit the International Space Station.
The unmanned Dragon capsule, built by the commercial firm Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX), lifted off atop the company's Falcon 9 rocket at 3:44 a.m. EDT (0744 GMT) from a pad here at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
"I think we're really at the dawn of a new era for space exploration and one where there's a much bigger role for commercial companies," SpaceX founder and chief designer Elon Musk said during a news briefing following the launch. Musk, a billionaire entrepreneur, watched over the flight from SpaceX's mission control center at its Hawthorne, Calif., headquarters.
Dragon wings into orbit
The flawless pre-dawn launch came after SpaceX officials called off a first try on Saturday (May 19) because of an engine glitch. The SpaceX team was able to investigate and repair the problem over the weekend, and try again successfully three days later.
"I just want to really congratulate the SpaceX team for just an absolutely amazing countdown, launch and orbit insertion today," said William Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for NASA's Human Exploration Operations Directorate. "The SpaceX team, there is none better than this team. They did a great job recovering from the shutdown a couple days ago." [Launch Photos for SpaceX's Dragon Capsule]
Dragon is due to rendezvous with the space station on Thursday (May 24); the next day, astronauts inside the outpost plan to grab onto the capsule with the station's robotic arm and berth it to the laboratory.
The mission is the final test flight for the Dragon capsule before it can start delivering cargo to the space station. SpaceX is contracted to fly at least 12 delivery missions over the next few years for a total of $1.6 billion.
NASA's private space taxi plan
NASA hopes private vehicles can take over the job of flying supplies, and eventually astronauts, to low-Earth orbit, to allow the agency to pursue manned missions to places people have never gone before.
"It demonstrates what we said was the future of American space exploration, and it's actually using private industry to provide for access to low-Earth orbit while NASA goes off and does what NASA does best, and that's exploring, doing things that private industry cannot do, or should not do," NASA administrator Charles Bolden told SPACE.com after the liftoff. "Taking the risks in things like sending humans to an asteroid, to Mars, to other places in our solar system."
However the plan has been criticized by some, including members of Congress, who question the safety and reliability of commercial vehicles.
"I hope that the success of this mission thus far will dispel some of the doubts that people have," Musk said. "I do think in some cases people had legitimate concerns because there's no precedent for what we're doing here. We've had three successes of Falcon 9, two successful flights of Dragon, and hopefully we'll have a successful berthing at the space station. I think this should dispel the doubts of anyone if they're reasonable."

Abraham Announces Plans to Expand DOE's Carbon Sequestration Program Regional Partnerships, Ohio River Valley Project To Study Ways to Capture, Store Carbon Gases |
WASHINGTON, DC - Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, speaking today to the National Coal Council, announced that the Department of Energy will move into a new, expanded phase of its program to develop "carbon sequestration," a promising area of research in which carbon emissions are captured and permanently stored rather than being released to the atmosphere.
Secretary Abraham said that the federal government intends to create a nationwide network of four to ten "regional sequestration partnerships." He called on industry, state and local agencies, universities, and others to join with the Energy Department in forming the partnerships. "These regionally-focused efforts will become the centerpiece of our sequestration program. They will help us determine the technologies, regulations, and infrastructure that are best suited for specific regions of the country," Abraham said. Secretary Abraham also announced that the Energy Department has given the go-ahead to a research team headed by American Electric Power (AEP) and Battelle to begin studying potential sequestration sites in the Ohio River Valley where carbon emissions from power plants might be injected deep underground instead of being released into the atmosphere. "The focus will be on the deep saline formations that lie thousands of feet below the surface -- well below the aquifers commonly used for drinking water," Secretary Abraham said. "Theoretically, they could hold all of the carbon dioxide emitted by the nation's coal-burning power plants for the next 100 years. But we will move deliberately, because we want to go as far and as fast as the science takes us." President Bush and others have singled out carbon sequestration as one of the most promising new approaches for countering the threat of global climate change. In one of his first major addresses on climate change, on June 11, 2001, the President said, "We all believe technology offers great promise to significantly reduce emissions ? especially carbon capture, storage and sequestration technologies." Secretary Abraham said that the Energy Department will issue a solicitation notice later this month asking industry, state and local agencies, universities and others to begin forming the regional partnerships. The government will offer up to $2 million per partnership for initial planning efforts. Later, as much as $7 million per partnership could be provided for actual field verification tests and more detailed regulatory and infrastructure planning. The first partnerships are expected to be announced next spring. The AEP/Battelle project will focus on one type of sequestration ? the injection of carbon gases into brine-filled formations thousands of feet underground. Theoretically, these deep saline formations, which underlie all or part of 35 states, could hold all of the carbon dioxide emitted from the nation's coal-burning power plants. The brackish water in these rock formations is far too salty for human consumption, and they exist well below drinking water aquifers. Researchers will study whether the deep saline formations beneath the Ohio-West Virginia border are suitable for permanently entrapping large quantities of carbon dioxide. The study is especially important because it takes place in the heart of the largest concentration of fossil fuel power plants in the nation. AEP has volunteered its Mountaineer Plant in New Haven, W.Va., as the test site for investigating the concept. During the next 18 months, researchers will conduct seismic surveys of the underground rock formations and drill a 10,000-foot exploratory well on the power plant property. No decision will be made on proceeding beyond the current study phase until the subsurface geology is deemed safe and suitable for carbon sequestration and cost estimates have been prepared. The Department, through its National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), is providing $3.2 million of the project's total $4.2 million cost. Other partners providing financial and in-kind support include AEP, BP, Battelle, and Schlumberger. The Ohio Coal Development Office, part of Ohio's Department of Development, is also supporting the project. Technical support to the project will be provided by experts from NETL, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, West Virginia University, the Ohio Division of Geological Survey, The Ohio State University, and others. |

Are you one of the three people in Southeast Texas that has yet to see this video? Jump ahead to the 3:45 mark. See it?
An officer arrives from the side, looks in the direction of the camera, turns and almost immediately begins beating the snot out of Derrick Newman. Thirteen licks later, the officer stops and calmly places the baton back in its holster. The officer barely looked at Newman. It seems doubtful he had enough time to see, as officers allege, "Newman making a furtive movement or pulling Guedry's hand toward his crotch." Crotch grabbin', as he was pinned to a car with his arms in front of him. This is the best y'all can do? Really?
In this instance, Newman's only crime appears to be not remaining in the vehicle and yelling. Does that demand what appears to be a quality beating?
After repeated viewings, one thing seems completely obvious: The BPD is going to regret having that $160K civil ruling thrown out. After this mess goes to trial, that six-figure award is gonna seem like lunch money. Lawyer Mitch Adams claims the release of the video "pollutes the jury pool." Puhleeze! Go ahead, get a change of venue. Unless an out-of-town jury is comprised completely of blind folks, this isn't likely to end well.
Newman can be heard repeatedly screaming, "I didn't do nuthin', dude." And now there is video to prove it.

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel. It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White — which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead:
"Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago's South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White."

Overload · 3:02am
Right, so, as far is first blogs go, this ain't going to be anything special... As of this moment, I do believe I've reached my limit with how many fanfictions I can keep track of at once. Not going to blame shortskirtsandexplosions or anything, but the recent "Lemur Day" explosion of fanfics from aforementioned author has sort of bogged me down- not only did I have 3 make that 4 stories on my "Read Later" list, but there are now approximately 120,000 words which I will be unable to avoid reading, because that's just how I work... I can't just pass up a new story that even slightly interests me without trying it out, which usually leads to me inevitably tracking it (if it's a work in progress). I'm not complaining- I love reading all sorts of literature, and am really glad to have such an ample supply- but I begin to worry that I will lose track of some of the older fics I'm tracking. Anyway, yeah, first blog post and all that. Unwitting Brony, signing out.

Burgess Shale's Weird Wonders
The fossils found in the Burgess Shale include the 500-million-year-old ancestors of most modern animals
- By Smithsonian.com
- Smithsonian.com, July 16, 2009
(J.B. Caron, with permission of the Royal Ontario Museum and Parks Canada © ROM)
This fossil is a pair of claws from Anomalocaris canadensis, the largest Cambrian predator reaching lengths up to three feet, and the first of its type to be discovered at the Stanley Glacier site, by Caron and crew. Among its distinctive features, this animal had a pair of large eyes at the front and a rounded mouth with sharp teeth.

Pikaia has a notocord and fish-like body form Making it our oldest ancestor. It likely evolved into the toothless hagfish of the Ordovician Period, following the Cambrian.
A good drawing can be found in WONDERFUL LIFE by Stephen J. Gould, page 322

@ John -- I can tell you one thing: None of the creatures in this painting are our early ancestors. They were more than likely very early fish. None of these creatures are early fish. They are primarily invertebrates and many of them either die out or evolve into the invertebrate sea creatures or bugs we see today.

A Classic
By Mike Salt from Manchester , 27 Jun 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This film is undoubtedly a modern classic. Dark, violent & stylish. As usual, with Pacino on screen there's enough ham to terrify a boat load of vegetarians.
For me the only thing that stops this being the perfect crime noir film is the Hollywood ending. The bad must ultimately fall & good must triumph, you know they can't allow the bad guy to escape but the final showdown just didn't seem to belong in this film.- Was this review helpful to you?

(183)Overly long but intriguing
By Bassman71 (701 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 18 Sep 2013Criminal plans big heists, has team working for him, LAPD detective on their tail, twists and turns and mayhem. Criminals start feeling the heat. Overly long but intriguing cops n robbers exchange which has a very strong cast, some excellent action scenes along the way and a well-used soundtrack. Much has been said about the coming together of Pacino and De Niro but personally I think that scene is very over-rated and isnt as amazing as some people would believe. De Niro being the least convincing of the two. Despite the length of the film it does build the tension up very well and a finale which reminded me of the end of Bullitt.- Was this review helpful to you?

fantastic watchable film
By Ricia (156 reviews) , 29 Apr 2013What a fantastic film, right from the moment you saw who was starring in the film and it is a good cast, it keeps your attention all the way through although it is a long film. What a shame McCauley(Al Pacino) couldn't just drive away near the end, he just had to stop to clear up one more thing...- Was this review helpful to you?

An action film with style and depth
By seraphita (17 reviews) , 07 Apr 2013Fantasic film. For once both villains and cops are portrayed as complex characters. There`s much more to this film than gun fights; yet it has you riveted from start to finish. Fine music score using Eno and Ligeti ...all blends wonderfully.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good watchable action movie
By The KnightWatcher (629 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 02 Apr 2013Robert DeNiro / Al pacino pitted against each other. Gangster / pursuit with love interest. It is a good action thriller but too long so inevitably gets a tad boring from time to time but overal watchable.- Was this review helpful to you?

Customizing SMF > Portals, Bridges, and Integrations
Edge Portal
Anyone recode this great message board to work with the edge portal? Located at http://edge.dev.box.sk ... If not can someone please look into it.. i would love to replace the board they have in there with this great one as long as it works with the user database and current user login of edge that would be the best... Thank you
Edward Ghost:
What decent features, if any, does the Edge Portal have?
By the looks of it, you could achieve the same by editing your SMF theme,
and including some SSI functions.
See the problem with that is it would be a whole new user database.. i would like to use it with the existing database. Edge is kinda like a phpnuke or any of those style portals but it has a lot less restrictions and a lot more "open" code.. When i say open i mean it is easy to access the code and alter it to what you want without worrying about conflicts.
If someone could take a look at edge and see if it is possible and if it would be easy to portal this message board onto it that would be great.
The site for edge is http://edge.dev.box.sk/index.php

Hi all!
I've been a nerdfigher for about four years now and counting, I've followed John and Hank through the 2.0 journey, but since the year I began watching and earlier, some tragic things have happened to my eyesight. I was diagnosed with a rare eye condition that causes my retina to detach and it is very hard to fix, which since then, I have lost the vision in my left eye and have had it removed (the eye, that is) and now wear a fake one. Recently (December 2009), I lost fifty percent of the eyesight in my right eye, and now I am legally blind. I have had five surgeries total on both of my eyes, and now I can see relatively alright through my right eye while using a computer. I am at University at the moment pursuing an undergraduate degree in English, but you can see (pun definitely intended) the problems that I have with reading the books for classes. I get by with audio books and helpful equipment.
I've emailed John numerous times, posted on their twitters and facebooks, however, I know they're busy guys, and really this isn't that important. Well, it is to me, because since this eye condition I have not been able to read any of John's new books... I've read Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, and Paper Towns. My best friend read me Let It Snow, and I read Hank's ecogeek everyday. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the books being on audio or downloadable or anything so that I can read them again, and maybe eventually read Will Greyson Will Greyson, since I haven't been able to find it on audio book yet, I have yet to read it... I am usually a very avid reader, but after losing most of my sight I have lost the love of it...
If anyone can help, that'd be great. I love nerdfighers, I will never forget the first time I went into my local bookstore, opened up Paper Towns, and saw a note with an email of another nerdighter, and I put my own note in, and have continued to talk to this nerdfighter for some time.
DFTBA, fellow defeaters of world suck!
even without johns permission i'm pretty sure he won't sue a nerd fighter for helping someone read his books
I don't have a kindle, but my experience with PCs is that the text to speech is SO very bad that it becomes hard to follow. The acrobat reader even has TTS built in for several releases now.
I don't have a medical need, I just thought it would be cool if I could convert books to mp3. The results are very disappointing. But compared to "nothing", it is probably pretty good. Anyhow, there's lots of options for doing this stuff. I got a program called Text Aloud. You can buy different voices for it. Just don't set your expectations too high.
Audible of course is completely different. Those are books read by professionals and are very very good. Do be careful not to buy the abridged version though (unless of course that's what you want)
Here are some links to help spread the awesome:
