Some might be surprised.
Others will say, "I knew it all along." "He's not to be trusted." "He's slid so far down the slippery slope he's a nanometer from Hell's Gates."
What am I talking about?
The Bible.
The Holy Bible.
I don't believe it's inerrant.
Automatic handwriting under the control of the Holy Spirit?
Ummmm… I don't think so.
Scot McKnight notes:
…many Christians grow up with a view of Scripture that it is inerrant, and that means for them – and I speak here of the populist impression – that it is not only true but that is more or less magically true – true beyond its time, true when everything else says something else. Connected to this view of inerrancy is a view of Bible reading that takes a sound Christian idea called the perspicuity of Scripture, that the Bible's message is clear to any able-minded Bible reader, and ratchets it up one notch so that the Bible reader thinks whatever I see in the Bible is what the Bible is saying. This is my way of saying that one's interpretations of Scripture become as infallible as the Bible itself, and since everything interlocks, giving in one inch is the first step in apostasy.
A blog I regularly read, wrote recently about the need to "Preach the Word." The writer is of the inerrant camp Dr. McKnight speaks of above. This isn't "The Word made flesh" of John 1. This isn't "knowing nothing… except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified" of the Apostle Paul. This is a systematic approach to the text of Scripture — often being preached line by line.
In 1 Samuel 8 (to which I often refer), God tells Samuel that the people aren't rejecting Samuel in their desire for a king, they are rejecting God. Is it possibly that the same affections that animated the desire for a king in the people of Israel also animate the approach of many of us to the Bible?
The Bible is the King we worship. We can read it, discuss it, follow the parts we like in it (and ignore those we don't), call others with different understandings of particular texts, "Heretics!" and be rather self-assured in our understanding. Much easier than being in relationship with the Creator of the Universe, who, though good, is not safe. (To paraphrase Mrs. Beaver's response to a question about Aslan.)
Christian orthodoxy is trinitarian. We worship the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. But often, as many others have suggested, it appears that we worship the Father, Son and Holy Scriptures.
When Jesus speaks of the Paraclete, the comforter, the one who comes along side in John 16, he says, "when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." [emphasis added]
In practice it appears that many believe "all the truth" is a reference to the Bible. And it took four centuries to guide the church into that "truth." But now that we have "the truth", the perfect has come and the majority of the Holy Spirit's work is done. (I'm being facetious.)
I'm reminded of this old cartoon from the irrepressible Brant Hansen. It speaks for itself.
Christian Smith, in his thought provoking book, The Bible Made Impossible says this,
…on important matters the Bible apparently is not clear, consistent, and univocal enough to enable the best-intentioned, most highly skilled, believing readers to come to agreement as to what it teaches. **That is an empirical, historical, undeniable, and ever-present reality. It is, in fact, the single reality that has most shaped the organizational and cultural life of the Christian church, which now, particularly in the United States, exists in a state of massive fragmentation. ** The fact that Christians have worked for centuries and sometimes millennia to try to sort through these differences has not mattered. The fact that the Bible itself implores Christian believers to come to unity with one another and be of the same mind as one another, in view of their one Lord, one faith, and one baptism (John 17:23; Rom. 15:5; Eph. 4:2–5, 13; Phil. 2:2; Col. 3:12–15), has not mattered. The differences have not been overcome. And we have little reason to believe that they will be overcome anytime soon—whether or not we have an inerrant, harmonious, and perspicuous Bible. Appealing to the same scriptural texts, Christians remain deeply divided on most issues, often with intense fervor and sometimes hostility toward one another. [emphasis added] — Christian Smith, The Bible Made Impossible, Loc. 662–72 (Kindle Edition)
Dave Fitch, says this in his important book, The End of Evangelicalism,
"The inerrant Bible" in essence allows us to interpret the Bible to mean anything we want it to because after all we believe it to be "inerrant." To exaggerate, we can say just about anything based on the Bible and then declare our allegiance to the Bible's inerrancy. No one then can dare question our orthodoxy! In this way, "the inerrant Bible" functions once again as an empty-signifier. As a result, "the inerrant Bible" (and its variants) holds together a wide variety of institutions and churches that have very little in common in terms of their practice except of course the desire to self-identify as evangelical. — David E. Fitch, The End of Evangelicalism? Discerning a New Faithfulness for Mission: Towards an Evangelical Political Theology, Loc. 1818–22 (Kindle Edition)
And even though "we" want to identify ourselves as evangelical, Evangelical Christianity has become a battle ground of proof texts. No matter what the particular battle is.
"I'll see your 1 Tim. 2:12 — Paul not suffering a woman to teach, with Paul lauding the apostle Junia in Romans 16:7, greeting his co-labourers, Priscilla & Aquila in Romans 16:3–4 and 2 Timothy 4:19 and writing of their house church leadership in 1 Cor. 16:19. Winning!"
On this particular battle, Smith writes,
The Bible seems to say many things that can be reasonably read and theologized in various ways. In studying the various sides of this heated debate, one gets the distinct feeling that it is actually the divergent prebiblical interests of the many interpreters—both traditionalist and feminist—that drive their scriptural readings, as much as the texts themselves. That too presents problems for biblicism. But the more pertinent point here is this: apparently smart, well-intentioned scripture scholars in fact do read the same set of texts and come away making arguably compelling cases for opposing if not incompatible beliefs on a matter of significance for Christian personal and church practice. — Christian Smith, The Bible Made Impossible, Loc. 780–85 (Kindle Edition)
But for those Biblicists in the inerrant camp — as Scot McKnight suggests — their understanding of the text is the one that is correct. If Pauls says 'women can't teach' then it's obvious, WOMEN CAN'T TEACH. Some are so exacting in their understanding of the inerrant, perspicuous scriptures that they proudly proclaim that they won't even let women read scripture in a church service — as it's almost like teaching. (Which reminds me of the old joke about Baptists and dancing, but I won't go there right now.) The logical extension of this is that since hymns and some worship tunes also teach, the soprano parts should be song by castrati, n'est-ce pas?
One of the prompts for this post was something that Michael Newnham at Phoenix Preacher pointed to earlier in the week; the resignation letter of Jason Stellman, pastor of a Seattle PCA church. One of the stumbling blocks for Stellman that he felt forced his resignation was his changed position on the Reformed doctrine of Sola Scriptura.
I have begun to doubt whether the Bible alone can be said to be our only infallible authority for faith and practice, and despite my efforts (and those of others) to dispel these doubts, they have only become more pronounced. In my own reading of the New Testament, the believer is never instructed to consult Scripture alone in order to adjudicate disputes or determine matters of doctrine (one obvious reason for this is that the early church existed at a time when the 27-book New Testament had either not been begun, completed, or recognized as canonical). The picture the New Testament paints is one in which the ordained leadership of the visible church gathers to bind and loose in Jesus' Name and with his authority, with the Old Testament Scriptures being called upon as witnesses to the apostles' and elders' message (Matt. 18:18–19; Acts 15:6–29), with no indication in Scripture that such ecclesiastical authority was to cease and eventually give way to Sola Scriptura (meaning that the doctrine fails its own test). Moreover, unless the church's interpretation of Scripture is divinely protected from error at least under certain conditions, then what we call the "orthodox" understanding of doctrines like the Trinity or the hypostatic union is reduced to mere fallible human opinion. I have searched long and hard, but have found no solution within the Sola Scriptura paradigm to this devastating conclusion.
Some suggest that Stellman is about to swim the Tiber. I find that as problematic as others find his rejection of Sola Scriptura and Sola Fida — but his rejection of the Reformed position on Scripture resonates with me.
Christian Smith (who has swum the Tiber) notes the vast numbers of Christians who have their faith ship-wrecked when their Sola Scriptura world view is shattered by reasoned inquisitors. He writes,
To argue that our only lifeline to God is the Bible is way off base. It also fails to recognize the many ways we know about and simply know Jesus Christ. It fails to explain how the Christian church for its first three hundred and fifty years—when it did not possess the defined biblical canon as we now know it—managed to know Christ. "The Christian faith," Craig Allert rightly observes, "did not grow in response to a book but as a response to God's interaction with the community of faith."[53] — Christian Smith, The Bible Made Impossible, Loc. 2457–61 (Kindle Edition)
And then later,
Scripture is not worshiped. It is not in scripture that we place our hope. It is not on scripture that we stake our lives. All of that is reserved for Jesus Christ alone. … Scripture is sometimes confusing, ambiguous, and incomplete—we have to admit and deal with that fact. Biblicism insists that the Bible as the word of God is clear, accessible, understandable, coherent, and complete as the revelation of God's will and ways for humanity. But this is simply not true. Scripture can be very confusing. It can be indefinite. The Bible can lack information and answers that we want it to have. To say such things seems, from a biblicist perspective, to insult God, scripture's divine author. But that is, again, because biblicism starts off with wrong presuppositions about how the Bible ought to work. — Christian Smith, The Bible Made Impossible, Loc. 2546–47 & Loc. 2661–66 (Kindle Edition)
The Bible is not our King… King Jesus is our King. (And may I highly recommend you read Scot McKnight's The King Jesus Gospel.)
Our understanding of Scripture must come first from our relationship with the Risen and Living Christ. To view the Bible as "all the truth" too often denies the reality of Jesus being very much alive and actively working through His Holy Spirit.
As Eugene Peterson intreprets John 1:14, "The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighbourhood." He is alive and in our midst – something the Scriptures witness to.

Tottenham legend Ledley King believes his former side will be challenging for the Premier League title within the next two years.
Spurs have emerged as regular top four contenders in recent years, and could have challenged at the very top last season were it not for a dramatic drop-off in form which saw them ultimately miss out on the Champions League.
Under new boss Andre Villas-Boas Spurs have renewed hope of making the top four this season and King, who was part of the only Tottenham squad to have made it to the Champions League in 2010/11, says the club have loftier ambitions than just making Europe's leading club competition.
"I rate the current Spurs team very highly," said King, who was forced to retire last summer because of a chronic knee problem.
"I think we've got a young and ambitious manager who's great and is going to do well for the club.
"I think we've got a great group of players at a good age where they're improving all the time and reaching their peak.
"The way the team are progressing at the minute, hopefully in the next year or two they will be really challenging for the Premier League.
"Hopefully this season we will finish in the Champions League places and then keep doing that.
"It's a big club and you've got to make sure it's not just a one-off, you've got to keep doing it.
Hopefully we can qualify this season and continue doing that for the future."
Speaking of his own future, King, who spent his entire career at White Hart Lane, says he is relishing life away from the pitch.
"My football career was one part of my life but I knew it was not going to last forever," he said.
"Footballers stop at quite a young age and I'm lucky enough to have a job now where I'm still working with the club I love."

Poet Edward Field, author of the unputdownable memoir of 1950s and 60s bohemian life, The Man Who Would Marry Susan Sontag.
The Last Bohemian
By Jerry Tallmer
My subject, Dear Muse, is Fidel Castro
Rebelissimo and darling of the Spanish-American lower classes
A general who adopted for his uniform
The work clothes of the buck private and the beard of the saints
A man fit for ruling a great nation
But who only has an island.
Irene, the beautiful Cuban, has his picture over her bed
Between Rudolph Valentino and the Blessed Virgin
He stands large and flabby between the perfect body and the purest soul
Doves on his shoulders, on his open hands
And one dove for crown standing on his head
He is not afraid of birdshit, his face is radiant.
from Stand up, Friend, with Me, poems by Edward Field, Grove Press, 1963
Irene, the beautiful Cuban, in the second stanza above that would be Maria Irene Fornes, even then, in the early 60s, an oncoming and most irreverent playwright. Today an internationally celebrated playwright, director, and teacher of drama, but when Edward Field first knew her, or first heard of her, she was merely one member of a ménage à trois, the other two legs of which, if one may put it that way, were Susan Sontag the brainy writer and Harriet Sohmers the stunning 6-foot Art Students League model.
Edward Field first heard of her Irene through his friend Alfred Chester, the mad, stone-bald, ludicrously bewigged 1950s-60s storyteller, essayist, and near genius who is one of the central figures of Fields unputdownable new book, The Man Who Would Marry Susan Sontag. Alfred Chester was in fact the man he died, of drugs, drink, and/or suicide in Jerusalem in 1971 a homosexual, who wanted to marry Susan Sontag. As a career step.
Indeed, to read The Man Who Would Marry Susan Sontag, which is subtitled And Other Intimate Portraits of the Bohemian Era (University of Wisconsin Press, 2005), is to begin to believe that the whole world, if not homosexual, then is bisexual. Edward Field himself has been gay approximately since the cradle, and for the best part of his 81 youthful years, proud of it.
Chester had ended up in Jerusalem after being coldly rebuffed in Morocco by his comrade-in-arts and sometime hero, composer/novelist (The Sheltering Sky) Paul Bowles; it may even have been Bowles who, in the end, got Alfred Chester expelled from Morocco.
Paul Bowles is in any event another central character in the Field memoir, along with the rather more interesting and to some minds (mine) more talented Jane (Mrs.) Bowles, the playwright (In the Summer House) who, calling herself Crippie, the kike dyke and signing her letters The Spiders Wife her husband having cannibalized her writing energy to fuel his own could show Alfred Chester cards and spades in damaged dementia.
The Man Who Would Marry Susan Sontag is a rich compilation of these and dozens of other to-the-life sketches or full portraits of people like Sontag herself, Alan Ginsberg, Truman Capote, Jean Garrigue (everyones fascination), poet Arthur Gregor, poet May Swenson (whom Field deeply admired and learned from), poet Frank OHara (whom Field deeply admired and, for all OHaras goyischer detachment, had a love affair with for a time).
From the book, in a chapter evoking Greenwich Village in the era of Pollock, Kline, De Kooning, the Living Theater, the Cherry Lane, the San Remo, the Cedar Bar:
The fifties were an age when, if you were sensitive, you had to be neurotic, which meant you had problems of guilt and anxiety and adjustment, which always had sexual problems at the root. Sex, itself, was usually looked on as a sickness in those moralistic years. In fact, almost everyone I knew in New York was in therapy of one kind or another and many gays beside me were driven to try to go straight. Frank was tolerant of all that, but he himself would have none of it.
Salted in with all this are hundreds of tiny, invaluable nuggets casual asides along the lines of: [Among] the aging Masters [of poetry], each with the distinctive voice and unassailable technique, if nothing new to say it was only Robert Frost who spoke out against Senator Joseph McCarthy and the witch hunt.
Irene Fornes, said Edward Field the other morning, as he surveyed four walls of photographs of still living old Bohemians in or out of his book. Alfred Chester knew Harriet Sohmers and Irene and Susan. They [the ladies] switched off in every possible combination. After Susan kicked Harriet out, she installed Irene as her lover. Harriet then went straight and stayed straight to the end of her life.
The present writer said hed interviewed Susan Sontag once or twice, and found her to be friendly but cool.
She could turn it on and off, said Field. A lot of successful people give you one minute of intense attention, so you get a glow.
What was undeniable and Field forcefully agreed was that Susan Sontag had been one of this citys great beauties. Had he liked her? No, never. But I do a tribute to her in the book because of how she spoke out for what she believed.
Then, laughing, he bespoke a folk tale of musical beds one bed actually involving not Irene and Susan and Harriet but Irene and a certain outspoken novelist and the novelists then wife, who came home, took in the scene, said: Move over, and expanded the duet into a trio. There have, in fact, always been as many men who were wild about Irene Fornes as women, if not more so.
Well, Irene and all the other people on those walls Judith Malina, Barbara Garson, Rosetta Reitz, George Bartenieff, etc., etc. are still living except one, Tobias Schneebaum, the slim, willowy gay-caballero painter and author who walked alone into the Amazon jungles of Peru one fine day, only to discover purity and joy in the arms of naked savages of the male gender who would rather screw him than put him in a pot and cook him.
The photographs by Michael Sofronski, with accompanying texts by Dylan Foley are in an adjunct room of the street-level Westbeth art gallery, 55 Bethune Street. Theyve been held over through the end of this month. Toby Schneebaum, who died last September, lived upstairs.
Edward Field has lived upstairs at Westbeth since 1972. He and Neil Derrick, his companion, mate, other half since 1959 with a two-year hiatus when we broke up, and then we straightened out our heads are a familiar sight in Greenwich Village, walking together, Neils hand on Edwards shoulder. Derrick has been blind since a brain-tumor operation also in 1972.
What is not in the book, except in the briefest of references, is the combat experience of Second Lieutenant Edward Field as navigator on an Eighth Air Force B-17 during World War II. He long ago wrote a long poem about it you can find it in his Variety Photoplays, Grove Press, 1967 and now, sitting there at Westbeth, he dispassionately recounted the basic details:
We were returning from a bombing run over Berlin in the winter of 1945. It was my fifth mission. Wed got shot up, lost two engines, the gas tank was shot out, we were limping back to England over the North Sea on one and a half engines. Then the last engine gave out, and we hit the water [
just like hitting a brick wall, the poem says Who would ever think water could be so hard?]
I was in the water about half an hour. There was no room on the rubber raft. Then one of the enlisted men, a gunner, got off the raft to let me on. First he took his clothes off a mistake. The water was freezing. Id tried to go swimming in the North Sea in summer, and the water was too cold then. The gunner died. [From the poem: It was like those who survived the death camps by letting others go into the ovens in their place.]
In all we lost two men. Another gunner the tail gunner was gay. He and I discovered it after the crash when we were on rest cure in Liverpool, but we didnt come on to each other. I gradually learned what the system was in the military. The chaplains assistant was always gay, and Special Services the ones who put on the camp shows were gay. When I finally got to Paris, it was full of gay soldiers.
Edward Field, born June 7, 1924, in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Yiddish-speaking immigrants from Lithuania (his father) and Poland (mother), went into the service at 18 to get away from NYU.
He had always known what he was Jewish and homosexual even before the word gay came into general usage.
But I didnt know of the whole gay world the world of restaurants and bars and cruising and the underground the world that was all around me. I thought you had to be an underground criminal to be gay. So Greenwich Village, when I reached it, was a tremendous revelation. You know, in that recent documentary film about Greenwich Village, where Norman Mailer says that as a teenager he used to come to the Village to get laid? That was the only true thing in that whole movie.
Edward Field had grown up in Lynbrook, on the south shore of Long Island. The German-American Bund was big in that town. They used to meet in the schools. Nassau County would have voted in Hitler. We were practically the only Democrats around.
He was never religious. All that phony-baloney. But he was nevertheless a Jew, and he soon found out that the poetry world was very hostile to Jews back then was full of Anglo-Saxon contempt for Jews. As for the rest of it: When I tried to get a job before the war, I couldnt get seen. Auschwitz and Israel changed everything.
But did not change anything to do with homosexuality i.e., with Edward Fields fundamental subject matter. Although nowadays I write about everything. Its like journalism. Ive just done a new poem, Better Keep Your Parachute Harness On, George.
Few if any Old Bohemians, gay, straight, or on the bias, would quarrel with that proposition.

UK's Times Online Starts Blocking Aggregators Hours After Aggregators Win Copyright Tribunal Ruling Against Newspapers
from the donkeys-arguing-against-the-wheel dept
In fact, last year the NLA (Newspaper Licensing Association) in the UK decided to start charging all such services just for linking. This is, of course, ridiculous. One of the largest services of this type is called Meltwater News, and it decided to protest this ridiculous license on linking. It was joined in this effort by the Public Relations Consultants Association (PRCA), who noted that there is no copyright on headlines and links -- and the NLA's license amounted to an illegal tax. The NLA responded by saying that Meltwater and PRCA had no right to protest these licenses.
Earlier this week, however, the Copyright Tribunal in the UK ruled in favor of the PRCA and Meltwater in protesting these new licenses, and it ordered the NLA to pay the costs of both organizations. Now there will be a full trial concerning the legality of the licenses.
What's interesting, however, is that hours after this decision came out, the Times Online in the UK just so happened to update its robots.txt file to block Meltwater (along with NewsNow, who had already been blocked). Basically, it was a quiet threat: if you don't pay, we'll block you.
The newspapers are walking a very thin line here. They're trying to charge for the most basic element of the web: linking and sharing links with others. I would imagine that if they actually win this fight, they're going to end up regretting it even more -- because if they start linking to other sites themselves, how long will it take before those linked sites start demanding money back from the newspapers as well. It's an incredibly short-sited view that a newspaper takes to think that others must pay you to promote you.

Though the percentage of Internet subscribers who will be able to view the video stream outweighs those who cannot, it was probably a bit inconsiderate of the PIC to chose Silverlight over more open and more easily accessible standards. This leaves out Linux, Mac PowerPC, and FreeBSD users, according to an upset open source advocate.
Though there is the Moonlight alternative for Linux users, it is still in a beta stage and won't be finalized for still several more weeks, and even then it will not be implementing many of the Silverlight 2.0 features. Moonlight 2.0 would be able to handle such features, but this will not be released until later this year-- a bit late for the inauguration events.
In the words of the Mono project chief, "I tried looking up the player on the Obama web site, and I guess the player has not been made public so I have no way of testing. The streaming and media codecs should be compatible with Moonlight 1.0, but the 'chrome' used to paint the player might be a 2.0 app. If people compile Moonlight from SVN, they can get our 2.0 support that might be enough to work with this, but we have not officially released that yet."
Since it's safe to say that most of the US population with Internet service who will watch the inaugural events via streaming online won't know any better to use a browser aside from Internet Explorer 7 or 8 on their cheap Dell machines bought at basement prices from Wal-Mart, there won't be too much of a problem for them. Still, it's the principle of the whole thing: why not include everybody and choose a more open and supported standard out there?

Have You Heard About… Seraphina
… life in a city in the great country of Goredd? Rachel Hartman's novel, Seraphina, follows the title character as she struggles with identity and prejudice in an alternate Middle Ages. The kingdom of Goredd has had an uneasy peace with dragons for nearly forty years. The dragons can take human form, but friendship between the two races is viewed with suspicion, and relationships are outlawed by both sides. Despite this, Seraphina is the daughter of a human father and a dragon mother. If anyone outside of her immediate family learned this, she would certainly be exiled, and she would probably be killed. Unfortunately, exposing herself may be the only way to prevent the outbreak of a new war.
Ms Hartman infuses her story with an incredible amount of detail, from the many saints who influence everyday life in Goredd to the austere habits of dragons. Seraphina's story is much more serious than that of Amy Unbounded, a graphic novel set in the same world. However, it still has points of wry humor and whimsy. The two stories also share an elegance of storytelling, with a wide variety of characters who drift apart and then back together.

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
Atrial fibrillation may raise the risk of sudden cardiac death, according to findings from two large population-based cohorts.
The risk of sudden cardiac death was elevated 3.26-fold with incident atrial fibrillation in multivariate analysis of the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study, Lin Y. Chen, MD, MS, of the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis, and colleagues found.
And the risk was 2.14 times higher after onset of Afib in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), the group reported online in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
If confirmed, the sudden cardiac death finding "adds to our evolving understanding that Afib is not a benign condition," they wrote.
"Not only does atrial fibrillation predispose to stroke, heart failure, and death, but the arrhythmia per se may increase the risk of death from ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The latter is potentially preventable; to this end, additional research to identify predictors of sudden cardiac death in patients with atrial fibrillation is much needed."
The analysis included 15,439 adults ages 45 to 64 at baseline in four communities in the ARIC Study followed periodically with examinations and annually via telephone calls and another 5,479 Medicare beneficiaries at four sites in the CHS cohort, which was originally designed to look for coronary heart disease risk factors and stroke.
Incidence of sudden cardiac death was:
- In ARIC, 2.89 per 1,000 person years with atrial fibrillation versus 1.30 without it
- In CHS, 12 per 1,000 person-years with atrial fibrillation versus 3.82 without it
In a meta-analysis of the two studies, incident atrial fibrillation was associated with a 2.47-fold elevation in likelihood of sudden cardiac death (95% CI 1.95 to 3.13).
For coronary heart disease-related deaths that didn't meet sudden cardiac death criteria, the odds were elevated by a factor of 2.98 (95% CI 2.52 to 3.53).
In the ARIC study, both associations persisted through adjustment for age, race, sex, cardiovascular risk factors, and factors that changed over time during follow-up until atrial fibrillation diagnosis.
The nonsudden cardiac death risk became only a nonsignificant trend after adjustment for changes in variables such as heart rate and use of beta-blockers, digoxin, and antiarrhythmic drugs all the way through follow-up, including the period after atrial fibrillation diagnosis.
"This observation suggests that the association between atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death is only partially explained by the measured shared risk factors," Chen's group noted in the paper.
Another possible explanation is that atrial fibrillation facilitates ventricular tachyarrhythmias, they pointed out.
Adjustment for left-ventricular ejection fraction measured in the CHS cohort only slightly attenuated the associations.
Adjustment for left-ventricular fractional shortening, measured in a subgroup of the ARIC cohort, actually strengthened the associations to a 14-fold risk of sudden cardiac death and 11-fold risk of nonsudden cardiac death with incident atrial fibrillation.
The risks appeared the same for men as for women in both cohorts. The link was stronger for black than white participants in ARIC, but not in the CHS.
Limitations included the fact that incident atrial fibrillation in both cohorts was identified mostly from hospitalization discharges, which would miss asymptomatic cases and those managed only on an outpatient basis.
Nor could the study exclude the possibility of residual confounding.
From the American Heart Association:
The analysis was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and by a grant from the American Heart Association.
The ARIC study was carried out as a collaborative study supported by National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute contracts. The CHS research was supported by contracts from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, with additional contribution from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Additional support was provided through grants from the National Institute on Aging.
The researchers reported having no conflicts of interest to disclose.

Haiti Quake Seen Through the Eyes of Two Volunteer Ministers
January 12, 2011
Exactly one year ago, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck 15 miles from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, collapsing homes, businesses, hospitals and schools, killing an estimated 200,000 and leaving some 2 million homeless.
Within hours of the disaster, the Church of Scientology began mobilizing teams of Volunteer Ministers (VMs) to help. Utah travel agency owner and VM Joava Good was one of the first to respond.
Good has been a VM since shortly after Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard created the program in 1973 and has served in many disaster situations. But Haiti was a catastrophe unlike any other.
"Port-au-Prince was decimated," said Good. "No power, no communications systems, no landing lights on the runway, only one runway open and that one in awful shape. All the planes were parked in the dirt, and no civilian flights were landing."
Using her 23 years in the travel industry, she found a company to fly first responders to Haiti. A private aviation firm provided the planes and the Church of Scientology paid for the fuel and expenses of disaster response personnel on those flights. Seventy percent of the passengers on the first plane were medical personnel, while the remainder were VMs trained in the organizational skills needed to enable doctors, nurses and EMTs to focus on saving lives as soon as they were on the ground.
Altogether, the Church of Scientology sponsored five medical relief flights bringing over 400 doctors, nurses and EMTs and some 200 VMs to Haiti.
On the Ground in Port-au-Prince
Midwife and Volunteer Minister Karen Farrell was one of the first to arrive in Port-au-Prince on a Church of Scientology-sponsored medical relief flight.
Farrell was assigned to General Hospital, where the medical staff, overwhelmed with casualties, could scarcely tend to women in labor. She and a Haitian-American obstetrician who arrived on the same flight set up a rudimentary labor and delivery room that Farrell described as "archaic" and started moving women in.
After 12-hour shifts, exhausted obstetrics staff left for the night. With no doctor on duty, Farrell decided to stay. She delivered two babies that night.
The first was a girl whose mother named her "My Love." The second was born to a 16-year-old. Alone, without her family or the father, the young mother was exhausted and terrified. "I held her in my arms for a long time, rocking her," said Farrell. "After eight hours, we were finally able to move her to a room with power. (Yes, we were in the dark all that time.) I had to show her how to push and get her to understand me." With the help of a translator, Farrell told the woman, "Be strong and deliver this baby now!" It worked, and within minutes, a healthy baby was born.
Days later, in the early morning, another earthquake struck. Panic swept through the hospital. "People were screaming and the whole building was shaking," says Farrell. The labor room and all the obstetrics patients were in the basement, and she knew that if the building collapsed, they would all be trapped.
Farrell scrambled with medical students and military personnel to evacuate patients from the basement and the other wards, carrying them outside and placing them on the ground away from the unstable hospital building. With some patients dying during the move, one woman started giving birth. Haitian women near the mother-to-be began to sing. When the baby appeared, someone shouted, "A baby has been born! There is hope in the world."
After a week in Haiti, Farrell returned home and to her job in Boston. During that week however, she had delivered six babies with her own hands and helped deliver another. She says the experience changed her, and she will never be the same.
Her statement resonates with the hundreds of VMs who followed after Karen to minister to the people of Haiti. Once the life-threatening emergencies had been handled, some VMs chose to remain. They and others have continued training Haitians on practical tools to use in rebuilding their lives and their country. And with this, the people of Haiti are also learning the motto which VMs live by—the motto given to the group by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard: "Something can be done about it."

Listing a user on a contacts page
From Joomla! Documentation
Adding Contacts to the Contact Page
Adding users to the Joomla contact page is not a hard task at all.
First you will want to login to your Administration (back end). You will go to:
Components -> Contacts -> Categories and click on categories.
By default, Joomla shows a category called contacts. This can be updated, used, or you can create your own category.
To create a new category, click on the new button in the upper right corner, and an editing page will open. You can name the category in the title field, the alias field is the computer programming name which should not include any spaces. The alias will not show to the user, only the title. Click YES on the published field, you can add an image, align it right or left, and even add a description which will only show up for back end users. Click finish and you have created a category for your new user(s).
Now we will create a new user.
Go back to your main category page, and you will be able to choose from category or contact. Since you have already added your category, you will now choose contact. There is a default contact there already, with the name of name. It is easy to just update this item, by clicking on it, and updating the information that is already set. For purposes of this tutorial however, we are going to create a new contact from scratch. Click on NEW. This will open an editing window where you can add the contact name, alias for the computer, and the rest of the left side of the window is your custom information. On the right side of the window we see a lot of parameters. Under contact parameters, you will fill out the address, and other contact information, and at the end you will see an option for VCard. This is a handy sort of digital business card, that will allow visitors to download a preformatted vcard of the contact. You can find out more about vcards at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard [1]. Under advanced parameters, you can choose from different icons, if you want custom icons, you can add them into the media folder under icons, then they will be available here to insert into your contact. Under Email Parameters, you can edit the contact form that will be on the contact page for the visitor to use to contact you. You can choose from the subject that comes to you when they send the form, you can choose from banned words, subjects, etc. that are sent to you as well.
With a little time and effort, the contact capabilities in Joomla can accomplish a lot.

Imagine empty roads.
If some trends continue, millennials — people born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s — may be the generation that signaled the end of America's love affair with cars.
Amber Gibson, a 22-year-old model and recent valedictorian of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, is a good example of her generation's attitude toward automobiles.
"I see no reason to get a car in the foreseeable future," she says. "I never actually wanted a car. It has never been a goal for me. I never asked my parents for a car. I didn't want to save up to buy a car."
An analysis of U.S. Department of Transportation data by consumer group U.S. PIRG Education Fund found that the number of miles driven per capita in the U.S. peaked in 2004 and has been dropping ever since. One of the biggest changes came from millennials.
A study by The Frontier Group and PIRG found that from 2001 to 2009, the average annual number of vehicle-miles traveled by young people ages 16 to 34 dropped 23 percent. The national average for all Americans dropped only 6 percent between 2004 and 2011. "You can see this big gap between the national average and what young people are driving," says study co-author Benjamin Davis. "Obviously young people are leading this trend."
The percentage of young people without a driver's license increased from 21 percent to 26 percent.
The trend, if it continues, challenges early predictions that had vehicle use climbing into the future. This would affect transportation and community planning, not to mention the sales of automobiles.
Car love dying
Holly Ann Oberle is 31 and hasn't owned a car since 2004.
She says she was a typical teenager growing up and was devastated when she thought she wouldn't get a car for her 16th birthday.
"I got my driver's license at 16," she says. "I was addicted to my car."
She loved her gray Honda Prelude and would drive with her friends up and down Main Street in her hometown of Fort Collins, Colo.
"Looking back," she says, "I can't imagine why it was fun. But it was."
But times change and so do attitudes.
She went to college, including a lot of studying overseas (She is the author of "College Abroad"). Currently she lives in Barcelona, Spain, and enjoys how easy it is to get around in Europe without a car. She is looking for a job back in the U.S. "If I have my choice, I'll live in a place where I don't need a car — even if I make a lot of money," she says.
The Frontier Group and PIRG study concluded that some of the main reasons millennials are not using cars include higher gas prices, new licensing laws restricting younger drivers — such as requiring drivers below a certain age to not drive at night. Davis adds improvements in technology make it easier to not have a car — such as smartphones accessing real-time transit information that can help people know when the next bus is coming and how to get to destinations without having to be an expert in schedules and routes. millennials' values and preferences also come into play.
At the same time their use of cars is going down, the study says young people's use of public transit increased 40 percent, walking to destinations increased 16 percent and biking trips were up 24 percent.
Urban living
Part of the reason Oberle and Gibson do not want cars comes from where they live.
Oberle's love of cars faded when she moved to Chicago. She drove it once or twice, but paid $10 a day to park it.
"This is nuts," she says she thought at the time. So when she went back to visit her parents in Colorado, she sold it. "There is a lot of independence associated with not having a car," she says. "I don't worry about where to park it, I don't pay for it and I don't worry about whether it is safe and going to be stolen."
Gibson also ended up in the Windy City.
"I moved to Chicago and live near Lincoln Park," she says. "There is no shortage of things to do in Chicago. Not having a car hasn't been a big trouble."
The National Association for Realtors found that young singles, meaning those who have never married and are under 35, are more likely to live in cities (31 percent young singles compared to 24 percent of the general population) and prefer to live in urban areas (31 percent versus 19 percent of the general population). Young singles like having businesses and homes close to each other. The majority of young singles (56 percent) would rather live in an apartment or townhouse in a walkable neighborhood than in a single-family home that would require more driving.
The Brookings Institute reported that in 2011, for the first time in more than 90 years, "the major cities of the nation's largest metropolitan areas grew faster than their combined suburbs."
Connected living
Davis says our society has become saturated with driving.
In the past, according to Davis, in the decades after World War II, rising incomes, suburban living, the increasing numbers of women into the workforce, better cars and better highways all put millions of new drivers of the road. By the end of the 20th century, he says, those trends had played out and started to reverse. As baby boomers retire, gas prices rise and people experience the effects of a down economy, driving is decreasing.
"Transit and other transportation modes ridership has also been increasing," Davis says. "Americans are increasingly choosing other modes of transportation."
But another factor is helping the reduction of driving — the Internet.
A study by Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle at the Transportation Research Institute at the University of Michigan found that a higher proportion of Internet users do not have driver's licenses compared to the general public. "This finding is consistent with the hypothesis," the study authors say, "that access to virtual contact reduces the need for actual contact among young people."
"Back in the '50s and 60s, oftentimes people viewed freedom as having a home in the suburb and using cars to tranport into work," Davis says. "That sense of freedom is changing. People are connected to their peers with what is in the palm of their hands. That is changing what is important to us."
Millennial love
Car companies, perhaps sensing declining interest, are trying to woo millennials with things such as Apple's new "iOS in the Car," a way to integrate the iPhone with driving.
Ryan Barker, an executive vice president at Vision Critical, a marketing and branding company in New York, says if you look at the interplay consumers have with products and brands as a relationship, automobile companies are not achieving the love they need.
Vision Critical's "Brand Equity Relationship Assessment" found that the top brands loved by millennials include companies like Google, YouTube, Amazon.com, Nintendo, Oreo, Microsoft, Reese's, iPod, Crayola and Google Chrome. Not a single car brand is among the top 25 brands that millennials love the most.
"Oreo, Crayola they truly embrace the notion of listening to consumers and reacting and responding," Barker says. "They know when to talk and know how to listen."
Big auto manufacturers not so much.
Barker says the electric car company, Tesla, is an exception, however, and is on its way to be a loved brand — even though it does not spend millions on advertising. Instead, it has things like small showrooms in malls.
Trends and choices
John Z Wetmore says the trend of fewer drivers will impact community planning and success. Wetmore produces "Perils of Pedestrians," a television show that looks at walkable communities across the world, and thinks many changes are coming.
"People are a lot more interested in having transportation choices than they were a couple of decades ago," he says.
Companies are trying to attract millennials by locating in walkable urban areas, instead of fancy suburban high-tech parks, which has long been the trend.
"When people are passing each other on the sidewalk," he says, "there is serendipitous interaction that you don't have when driving by each other."
If the U.S. government's official forecasts of an increase of 44 percent to 67 percent in miles driven by 2040 is correct, that will require certain planning and infrastructure outlay. However, if Millennial driving preferences and love of urban areas, walkable neighborhoods and other factors prevail, PIRG sees a flattening or even decline in vehicle use. That future would require a shift in infrastructure spending and planning down the road.
Amber Gibson, sees car use as a matter of different priorities. If she had the money for a nice new automobile, she would stick to the Millennial trend.
"I would buy a Hermès Birkin bag instead," she says with a laugh. "I'd rather have it than a car. I'd use the bag. I wouldn't use the car."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) It wasn't always pretty, but considering the position they've put themselves in this year, the Tampa Bay Rays can't be too picky.
James Loney had two hits and two RBIs and Chris Archer won consecutive decisions for the first time this season as the Rays won their fifth straight with a 5-3 victory against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
At one point this season it appeared the Rays might have dug too deep a hole to recover. On June 10 they were 24-42, but since that low-water mark they've gone 23-11 and pulled to within eight games of first place in the AL East.
''We're just trying to concentrate on the moment and not thinking that far ahead,'' Loney said. ''And we're not thinking about what we did yesterday.''
The Rays, who went on an 11-4 tear going into the All-Star break, matched their longest winning streak of the season against the punchless Twins, who scored six runs in the three-game series.
But they didn't make it easy on themselves Sunday. They committed two errors, both leading to Minnesota runs. They also gave the Twins a run on a wild pitch. And on offense, they stranded 12 runners, including nine in scoring position.
''We had so many opportunities to score many more runs and when you keep not doing that you get kind of concerned,'' manager Joe Maddon said. ''When you leave that many guys in scoring position you know it's going to bite you at some point.''
Archer (6-5) pitched 6 1-3 innings, giving up one earned run on six hits while walking two and striking out four. Four relievers combined to get the last eight outs, with rookie Kirby Yates closing out the game for his first career save.
Yates had to bail out Grant Balfour, who walked two batters with one out in the ninth. The first batter he faced was Brian Dozier, who took part in the home run derby at Target Field last Monday. But with the winning run at the plate, Yates got Dozier on a grounder to third and retired Eduardo Nunez on a pop out.
''Kirby came in, did a nice job against Dozier who can definitely put the ball in the seats, and same thing with Nunez. I thought he was outstanding,'' said Maddon, who noted that veteran set-up man Joel Peralta was unavailable due to an illness. But he added that getting his young relievers some experience in high-leverage spots is part of his master plan.
''We have to grow our bullpen to permit people to not have to pitch so often,'' Maddon said. ''We've got to get participation from 25 players, including some who are still in Triple-A, if we're going to pull this off.''
Kevin Correia (5-12) took over the major league lead in losses, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks in four innings for Minnesota. The veteran right-hander gave up two runs in the first and single runs in each of the next two innings.
In his previous seven starts, Correia was 3-4 but had a sparkling 2.30 ERA in 43 innings pitched.
Instead, Correia got off to a shaky start on Sunday and never recovered. Desmond Jennings led off the game with a double, and Correia walked the next two batters to load the bases. Loney delivered two runs with a sharp single to give the Rays a lead.
''You all saw it, 90 pitches in four innings and it was a hard 90, not an easy 90,'' Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of Correia's outing. ''He labored through it and kept the damage to a minimum. But he labored through it.''
Notes: Evan Longoria's second double of the game gave him 216 in his career, passing Carl Crawford for the most in franchise history. He also tied Crawford for the franchise lead with 592 career RBIs. . Twins 1B Joe Mauer swung a bat on Sunday for the first time since he went on the 15-day DL on July 2 with a strained right oblique. Twins GM Terry Ryan said that Mauer didn't face pitching or hit off a tee, but the ''dry swings'' were a sign that ''things are going in the right direction.'' ... Ryan also said he would wait until Monday to announce the Twins' starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against Cleveland. RHP Samuel Deduno, who has made eight starts this season for the Twins, pitched three innings of relief on Sunday and is not a candidate to start on Tuesday.

DEEPCOOL Ice Wind Pro Review
Over the past couple of years, cooling accessory manufacturer DEEPCOOL has been making its way into the US market. While it still seems to be a rather quiet company to many of us over here, DEEPCOOL was founded in 1996 in Beijing, so it has been in the business for more than 15 years. In fact, 2003 was the year that DEEPCOOL was able to achieve the No. 1 sales volume in all of mainland China in retail computer cooling accessories. DEEPCOOL is an ISO-recognized company, meaning that it conforms to a strict level of international requirements and standards not only related to manufacturing, but to higher levels such as management and continuous improvement. To us, this means that we can expect a high level of quality from DEEPCOOL in its products and have faith that its products will get even better with time.
I have had the opportunity to review several other DEEPCOOL heat sinks in the past, such as the Gamer Storm and Ice Matrix 600. Both of these coolers performed well beyond my expectations and also offered a high level of build quality. When I received these coolers for review almost a year and a half ago, I had never even heard of DEEPCOOL. Since then, I have learned that just because you haven't heard of a company before, does not mean you should be skeptical of its quality! Today, I will be giving DEEPCOOL's latest addition to its heat sink lineup, the Ice Wind Pro, a thorough evaluation. It is compatible with all recent sockets, traversing back all the way to Intel Socket 775 and AMD Socket 754. It uses four direct contact 6 mm copper heat pipes, a single stack of aluminum fins, and is packaged with a single 120 mm fan, though it does accept two fans for a user who may wish to have a push/pull setup.
In this review, I will provide a thorough evaluation of the DEEPCOOL Ice Wind Pro heat sink as it is packaged in its retail form, and its performance metrics as compared to other heat sinks on the market. Starting with its unboxing and followed by an up-close look at the heat sink itself, it will then be mounted in a recent computer system, so that its idle and load temperatures can be recorded in both stock and overclocked scenarios. Let's get started!
Closer Look:
The DEEPCOOL Ice Wind Pro is packaged in a standard DEEPCOOL white box with blue accents. The front of the box features an angled picture of the cooler with its black and blue fan mounted. Underneath this picture are several icons that denote its Intel and AMD compatibility, anti-vibration technology, its "super silent" operation, and its "modding look". The right side of the box has a listing of the cooler's specifications such as its overall dimensions, weight, fan speed, and other technical data in many different languages. Also, on the top is a handle for easy carrying. The rear of the box has a picture of the back side of the heat sink, along with a picture of its base, which shows off its "Core Touch Technology" (CTT). Finally, on the left side is a listing of all compatible CPUs (aside from just the socket listing) for both Intel and AMD, along with the dimensions as seen from a left, front, and top drawing view.
Inside, the Ice Matrix Pro is sandwiched between two pieces of soft foam with the fan box tightly placed next to it; there is no plastic wrapping on the heat sink itself. Loosely placed in the box is a warranty card, a quality certificate, and the installation guide. Underneath the heat sink and the fan is the accessory box which includes a rather slim array of items – all that is provided are two pairs of fan clips, a plastic mount base for Intel sockets, four pairs of locking pins, and a small packet of thermal paste. This mounting system is new to me; it seems that Intel systems will be adapted to use an AMD-style mounting. Aside from this unique mounting setup, the elements of this cooler remind me of what I have seen in previous DEEPCOOL heat sinks. I like what I see so far!
With everything pulled out of the box, let's move onto the close-up evaluation of the cooler itself.

Friedman discusses 'Rescuer's Path' April 1
Local Gorge author Paula Friedman will be discussing her new book, "The Rescuer's Path," at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 1, in the Hood River County Library community room. "The Rescuer's Path" tells of Malca, a Holocaust survivor's daughter who, in 1971, rides a horse into a wooded park and finds the wounded fugitive Gavin Hareen, a peace activist and Arab-American who is the prime suspect in the deadly bombing of an army truck. Raised on her family's stories of Holocaust rescue, compassionate and empathetic Malca finds the courage to aid the wounded stranger and, bit by bit, the two come to trust, befriend, and eventually love each other. As police close in, Malca flees with Gavin and is thrown into a dangerous struggle against injustice, culminating in her pregnancy and — 30 years later, in the shadow of 9/11 — an unexpected reunion with the couple's now-grown birth daughter. Paula Friedman, an author and freelance book editor who lives in Mount Hood-Parkdale, was formerly public relations director for the Judah L. Magnes Museum in Berkeley, Calif.

Tournament favourite Williams was not troubled in the slightest by opponent Edina Gallovits-Hall, winning 6-0, 6-0, but by a right ankle injury which required lengthy treatment after a heavy fall on Hisense Arena.
Azarenka, the top seed, was given a tougher-than-expected ride by Monica Niculescu before coming through 6-1, 6-4 after a second-set wobble.
Having soared into a 4-0 lead, it appeared plain sailing for Williams, a five-time champion in Melbourne, before she slipped on her already strapped ankle chasing down a forehand and crashed to the ground.
She eventually limped back to her seat and the trainer removed the bandaging from her foot to administer treatment.
After having the strapping re-applied, Williams was okay to continue and she showed little discomfort as she hammered three colossal forehand winners in the next four points on her way to a third break and a 5-0 lead.
Williams received more treatment at the change of ends but held to 15 to seal the first set.
The second set started just as the first had - with Gallovits-Hall double-faulting to give Williams an opening break.
She broke to love in game three and had help from yet another Gallovits-Hall double - her eighth - to make it 5-0, before serving out another love game to complete the most comprehensive of victories in 54 minutes.
Next up for Williams - assuming there is no lasting damage to her ankle - will be either Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova or Garbine Muguruza of Spain.
Defending champion Azarenka seemed set for an equally convincing scoreline when she ran through the first set with minimal fuss.
But Romanian Niculescu surprised everyone inside Rod Laver Arena by swiftly establishing a 3-0 second-set advantage. It almost became 4-0 but Azarenka clung grimly on to her serve by staving off two break points.
It proved a turning point as the world No 1, roared on by close friend Redfoo from the band LMFAO, hit back.
She drew level at 3-3, prompting a frustrated Niculescu to crack her racket into the court - an act which earned her a warning from the chair umpire.
Azarenka then broke again for 5-4 as Niculescu's challenge waned and she served it out to advance.
It was her first appearance on RLA since her thrashing of Maria Sharapova in last year's final and Azarenka admitted she was pleased to have avoided an embarrassing return.
"It's great to be back, there were a lot of overwhelming emotions out there," she said.
"I started really well but the second set was a struggle. I am pleased to get through."
Former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki also progressed but only after a wonderful deciding-set comeback against Sabine Lisicki.
Lisicki led 3-0 in the third only to run out of steam as 10th seed Wozniacki hit back to clinch a morale-boosting 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 triumph.
Eighth seed Petra Kvitova overcame Francesca Schiavone in three sets in a battle of former grand slam champions, 14th seed Maria Kirilenko ousted Vania King and 16th seed Roberta Vinci overcame Silvia Soler-Espinosa.
There were a couple of shocks, though, with seventh seed Sara Errani, a quarter-finalist here last year, and 12th seed Nadia Petrova both going out in the first round.
Errani was beaten 6-4, 6-4 by Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro while Petrova was thrashed 6-2, 6-0 by Japanese veteran Kimiko-Date Krumm.
At 42, Date-Krumm became the oldest winner of a women's singles match in the Australian Open's history.
"I'm very happy to win today, but I don't play for the records," she said. "Even when I lose, I still enjoy it. Of course, every time I lose...it's tough. But still I enjoy playing.
"I love tennis. I like practice. I like games. I like the tour. I enjoy it a lot."

Chard over Tortellini
Written by marylf on September 16, 2013 — Leave a Comment
Tortellini or ravioli are good to make for a quick meal, but instead of tomato sauce, I sauté chard and serve it over the pasta. Chard, or also know as Swiss chard, is a lovely leafy green vegetable from the beet family and popular in Mediterranean cooking. The taste is similar to spinach [...]

Apple reintroduced a critical vulnerability in Leopard, the newest version of Mac OS X, that it had patched more than 20 months ago in Tiger, security experts said this week.
A bug in Apple Mail -- the e-mail client included in Mac OS X -- that Apple fixed in Tiger on March 1, 2006, has cropped up in Leopard, according to security researchers from Symantec and Intego. Attackers can use the new-old vulnerability to hide malicious code in seemingly harmless file attachments and get Apple Mail to run the malware without warning the user, as it is designed to do, said Symantec in a warning to customers of its DeepSight threat management service.
The Heise Security Web site first noted the returned flaw and said attackers could disguise their code as a benign file -- a JPG image file, for example -- then exploit the file's "resource fork" to launch Terminal, the Mac OS X command line interface, which in turn would run a camouflaged code. The site even produced a harmless proof-of-concept e-mail attachment that demonstrated an exploit of the bug.
"On a current installation of the Tiger OS, Apple Mail issues a warning that the supposed image file is a[n executable] program and is to be opened with Terminal," Heise reported. "Apple apparently either did not incorporate this update into Leopard, or did not do it correctly."
Intego, the antivirus software vendor that earlier this month warned of an in-the-wild Mac Trojan horse, noted that Leopard's security system does not notify users as does Tiger's did. "The bug causing this has to do with the way Leopard manages [download] quarantines," Intego said in an alert. "The first time a user opens an attachment, Mail opens the file directly without passing through the quarantine system."
Apple patched Tiger to ensure that its e-mail program would warn users of unsafe files as part of its Security Update 2006-001, which was released last year.
Until Apple fixes Leopard, Symantec told users to use caution when handling e-mail attachments received in Mail. Intego gave similar advice: "It is important that users do not open attachments from unknown senders, especially those that come with spam messages," its alert said.
