My Bowen Therapy Pain Relief Clinic offers 100 percent natural, fast-acting and cost-effective pain relief and injury recovery. There are no harmful drugs, invasive surgery, and no machinery.
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia - April 16, 2018 —
My Bowen Therapy Pain Relief Clinic and Lorna Mair are pleased to announce that they offer one of the fastest growing treatments for pain management and sports injuries. The Bowen Technique is a natural, fast acting and cost-effective pain relief method suitable for injuries. The reliable slipped disc treatment uses no harmful drugs and no surgery. The techniques don't require the use of machinery. Because the therapy requires fewer sessions, the treatment regimen is less expensive than other methods.
The discs of the spine are also known as intervertebral discs. Although the discs don't actually slip, they may rupture, split or bulge. The disc cartilage and nearby tissue may fail or herniate. This allows the inner gel portion of the disc to leak or bulge into the surrounding tissue. This can lead to significant back pain and is a major reason why people may seek medical advice.
The Bowen Technique can relieve pain, restriction and bodily imbalances, using the healing mechanisms which the body has. The treatment for back pain is different than other therapies which are available. It is gentle and pain-free and provides results within three sessions for soft tissue-related issues. The method is safe enough that even pregnant woman can even enjoy the benefits. The techniques don't involve manipulation and are not a massage.
Bowen is a hands-on therapy working over precise tendons, ligaments, muscles, and nerves. It is known for the speed with which it works and the gentleness which is used. Traditional therapy addresses the alignment of the spine, while Bowen therapists view the tension in the muscles and soft tissue as being the underlying issue. The goal of the Bowen therapist is to find the problematic tissue and encourage it to return to its original healthy state. They use a gentle stimulus and time to observe if improvement is seen.

The Internal Revenue Service is having more problems with its tool that tells people who file their tax return electronically when to expect a refund.
On its "Where's My Refund" page, it has posted the following notice:
"Update: We are aware that some taxpayers who have filed electronically and received an acknowledgement from the IRS are concerned when they visit "Where's My Refund" and are told that we have no information regarding their return. This is a temporary situation, and we expect to resolve the matter in a few days. At that time, taxpayers will be able to get an expected refund date when they visit "Where's My Refund."
"If a taxpayer received an acknowledgment message that their e-filed tax return has been received, they can be assured that the IRS has the tax return even though "Where's My Refund" does not reflect that. Taxpayers should not call the IRS unless specifically directed by "Where's My Refund," as there is no new information to give them.
"We expect the vast majority of tax refunds to continue to be issued within the historical range of 10 to 21 days. The IRS is taking steps to update information so that Where's My Refund has current information. The IRS apologizes for any inconvenience and will provide updated information as soon as possible."
At the start of the tax season, the IRS was issuing tax refunds about a week later than it initially told people who used the Where's My Refund tool. That glitch affected people who filed electronically between Jan. 17 and 25 and chose direct deposit for their refund.
In late January the IRS said that delay "relates to fine-tuning IRS systems to adjust for new safeguards put in place this tax season to provide stronger protection against refund fraud." That glitch was supposed to be fixed by the 26th.
Julie Miller, a spokeswoman for TurboTax, said the latest notice was posted Friday.
"What the (tax-preparation) industry is hearing is that IRS has a legacy system and a new modernized e-file system" and the latest problems are related to the new system. "The IRS is aware that the Where's My Refund tool that gives you an estimated date for your refund has been intermittently not working. It is supposed to update every 72 hours, that doesn't consistently happen."
Scott McMillan of Mill Valley said he e-filed his federal return Feb. 1. "I waited 72 hours, then went to the Where's My Refund Web site and there was no information about my account." Two days later, he logged in again and was told his refund would arrive Feb. 21. "But if you try it today, it just errors out. They are obviously having issues."
The situation "is very concerning for taxpayers," Miller said. "We are telling people if you file through TurboTax and you get an acknowledgment that your return has been accepted, as long as you have that you are good." You don't need to refile.

The preparation for this word work station is rather simple. Print the proper noun cards onto cardstock. (There are two pages of cards for a total of 24 cards.) Laminate them and then cut them out. I store each set in a snack-size Ziploc bag, and I made 8 sets. Of course you can make as many sets as you'd like. Also, I put a copy of the first page with the directions at this station in case my little bean burritos forget the instructions. Easy peasey, lemon squeezy!
One last note...I live in Texas, so some of the proper nouns are indigenous to my great state. If you'd like the Word version of this station so you can make any necessary changes to proper nouns that might be more recognizable to your students, just leave me a comment with your email.
Oh, one more word...well, really, this one would be a note. Here's a Proper Noun song:
A noun is a person, place or thing.
A noun is a person, place or thing.
A common noun is general.
And a proper noun's specific.
A noun is a person, place or thing.

The role of lady-in-waiting usually goes to a friend or relative, and while speculation suggests that Kate's sister Pippa would be a prime choice, she may not officially take on the role just yet.
"Diana didn't use her sisters until years into the job," royal watcher and author Judy Wade tells PEOPLE. "Up until then she had someone who was steeped in the royal background, and Kate might do the same. If Pippa does do it, it will likely be on a part-time basis."
So who might this royal-steeped lady be?
Lately, Kate's been getting help from Helen Asprey, an assistant in Prince William and Prince Harry's office who was on hand for Kate's first joint engagements with William in Anglesey and St. Andrews last week.
While Kate got down to the business of royal duty, Helen played the role of all-around helper, carrying flowers that people handed to Kate and attending to whatever needs the future princess may have had.
So could Helen – or another royal employee – be one to take on the role? It's a possibility. "She is already working in the office," says Wade. "And she's obviously a close ally."
But if Kate should employ the help of her sister Pippa down the line, she'd be in good company: In addition to Diana, Prince William's stepmother Camilla also enlisted her sister's help when she joined the royal family.

Day's best: Vets turned farmers
A thumbs up to Buck Adams and his fledgling group that is training veterans to farm organically.
Adams, an ex-Marine, runs Circle Fresh Farms, and as part of that business he had focused on teaching military veterans the trade.
He is in the process of forming a non-profit, Veterans to Farmers, to expand that mission.
The unemployment rate for veterans has remained distressingly high, but this sort of effort is a step toward addressing that problem.

You must not have hardcore lifelong drunks that come into your ER. 0.55 and walking/screaming in my ER is not entirely uncommon. It's more common to see the .42s or .44s, but there are a small segment of our hardcore drunks that can still walk at .55.ReplyDelete
That sedating shot when they get violent really endangers their airway though ;-/ I get the shot and the airway cart at the same time sometimes.
I've seen 0.6 once, and it was in a guy who was used to drinking a case of beer and a fifth of vodka a day. He had come in requesting detox, and we marveled at how relatively sober he was considering the ETOH level.ReplyDelete
I believe Dr. Whitecoat over at whitecoatrants once posted a BAC of 0.8 (or something to that order).ReplyDelete

In spirit of child abuse prevention month, which is May, three members of the Daisies Girl Scout Troop 86 visited City Hall last week and presented council members with pinwheels they constructed out of paper and pencils. Their creations symbolize the sheer joy of childhood and are part of the Pinwheels for Prevention Campaign, a statewide movement that is intended to bring the issue of child abuse and neglect to the attention of Rhode Islanders. The goal is to engage people to help prevent it from occurring. Council President Bruce Place holds up his pinwheels in support of the cause.
Rowen Klyberg, 7, a first grader at Warwick Neck Elementary School; Shaelin Donovan, 6, a first grader at Greenwood; and Rebecca Befumo, 6, also a first grader at Warwick Neck, enjoyed visiting City Hall to spread awareness about child abuse and neglect. Kate Begin, the executive director of Prevent Child Abuse Rhode Island, and Roberta Biano, the state chair of Advocates For Children and member of the Warwick General Federation of Women's Clubs, accompanied them. For more information about the cause, visit preventchildabuse-ri.org.

The UK has a fever, and the only prescription is more Windows Phone. UK mobile operator Vodafone has announced a number of Windows Phones that will launch on the network this month. The company will also be looking at rolling out LTE on its network this year, which will complement the line-up of Windows Phone 8 hardware that has been highlighted.
So what's Vodafone looking to stock up on? The blog post announces the Nokia Lumia 920, Lumia 820, Lumia 620, HTC 8X and HTC 8S. No show from Samsung with the ATIV S, which is available over on O2. So when will all these awesome smartphones be readily available for consumers to purchase? February 6th, just two days away.
The company has reportedly been working hard on testing the hardware on its network. There's no word yet on pricing. We'll keep our eyes open and update should any information come to light.

Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg — Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
Sheryl Sandberg is a name everyone should know because, in a matter of months, she will be one of the most powerful women in the world. Sandberg is the COO of a small little start-up company in California called Facebook.
Once the Facebook IPO goes through, and after Sandberg makes a KILLING in stocks and salary, she will become the 'face' of Facebook. She is a heck of lot more pleasing on the eyes than Lord Zuckerberg. She is already making the rounds, meeting with people like President Obama and Lady Gaga. Sheryl Sandberg is gonna be all up in your news. She is our 'crush' today because she will be rich, powerful and have access to the Facebook accounts of everyone in the world.
Everyone except our Aunt Izzy, who never got into this whole Facebook jazz. She was smart enough to not create an account and get sucked *incoming email* and now Aunt Izzy wants to be friends on Facebook.

Some financial advisers tout their stock-picking success. Others point to the many designations – certified financial planner, chartered financial analyst, certified retirement financial adviser – they have attached to their name.
But a select few can boast of an altogether different credential – one that has seemingly little to do with investing, but that's sure to catch many an investor's attention: former Olympian.
Sure enough, the occasional Olympic hero finds his or her way from the games to the financial firm down the street. The advisory ranks include such greats as aquatic legend Mark Spitz and speed skater (and two-time medalist) Eric Flaim. But several lesser-known Olympians have also gone on to brokerage houses, insurance agencies and the like. And they say the experience of competing at the highest international level not only defined who they are, but also how they approach managing other people's money.
We caught up with three such athletes-turned-advisers to hear about their moments of Olympic glory, and to learn a little about their investing philosophy as well.

Craig Hunter needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 101 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
The Imperial Court of Toronto - we do also use TICOT but full name is important - may request to have both layed out
The Imperial Court of Toronto (TICOT) was founded in 1987 under the founding name the Trillium Monarchist Society (TMS). The original mandate of the organization was to promote 'Friendship, Unity & Nonsense' (F.U.N.) through holding entertaining fund-raising events. Each year after, there has been an election in Toronto to fill the position of Emperor and/or Empress.
We are very similar in nature to the Society for Creative Anachronism in that our membership develop and portray various personas, most of which are Royal Personages. We are like a LARP game except instead of the Middle Ages, we are set in Current Day.
Our members wear crowns, tiaras, oversize jewelry and more. It is common to see beads, sequins, furs and feathers at our High State Events.
Those elected are crowned at the annual Coronation Ball, which is the major fund-raiser for the Society. Duties include organizing social events to raise funds for a charity of choice and acting as a Goodwill Ambassador for Toronto at International Court System functions across Canada and the United States.
Since inception, 1987 TICOT has entertained thousands raising money for many local charities - Casey House, The Toronto PWA Foundation, AIDS Committee of Toronto, AIDS Tijuana, The C.L.G. Archives, the Metro Toronto Police (1st Bikes), Sick Kids Hospital, and Gilda's Club ... It is estimated that during our 22 years in operation, we've donated over $660,000 to local charities. We established the Emperor I Sergio Apolloni Memorial Scholarship in 1993, which is now awarded to a student in the Sexual Diversity Studies program at the University of Toronto, annually. We offer a social outlet through a series of annual & weekly events. See http://www.theimperialcourtoftoronto.com for more info.
Brand Name
The Imperial Court of Toronto - we do also use TICOT but full name is important - may request to have both laid out
We need a logo that will be instantly recognizable and grab interest from a diverse audience. Primary focus is two fold a) targeting the LGBT Communities while b) providing a certain caché for attracting new corporate sponsorship.
Please note that the logo will be used in print and online. It will be used locally, nationally and internationally.
Please enter - we need the re-branding and would very much like to be able to award from this contest - as will be prior to major printing for Toronto Pride.
We would like to not tie the hands of the designers (in past we have used Pink, Green and Light Yellow, but are not married to any.).
We have also used the Trillium (three petal flower) as the Flower of the Province of Ontario in both previous incarnations of the logo (we no longer represent all of Ontario so we are also not married to or against it).
Primarily we need to create a new visual identity for "The Imperial Court of Toronto".
We are open to new ideas and concepts as long as your focus is the branding of "The Imperial Court of Toronto" as:
- Professional.
- Corporate.
- Keeping with an image sellable in the LGBT Communities without loosing Mainstream appeal.
Logo Technical Specs:
- Vector (Illustrator EPS)
- Black and White version – 1 colour version – vector
- 2 & 3 colour version
- Pantone colours should be supplied
- 300 dpi
- Minimum of 6 in x 6 inches. – Square or slightly tall rectangle preferred
- Image (Photoshop psd file with layers would be cool and jpg) graphics
- Blended shaped of colours
- CMYK colours should be supplied

I was listening to President Obama's address while I waited for my son's school bus to arrive Friday afternoon. That morning I'd followed the story, posting on it for The Stir. What I thought was going to be the story of a domestic dispute resulting in two injured adults hemorrhaged into something so much worse. I felt sick every time I had to add another update. I kept thinking about those terrorized children, even the ones who survived but who would never forget that day.
As my son stepped off the bus, I grabbed him and hugged him so tightly he yelled, "Ugh! Mom, I can't breathe!" I felt elated and a little bit guilty at the privilege of having yet another day with my beautiful son. But I had a decision to make: Should I tell him what had happened in Newtown, Connecticut that morning?
My 8-going-on-9 son has already had a rough year. My husband and I separated this summer, and while we're peacefully working out an amicable split and co-parenting together, my son has had nightmares and waves of sadness that seem almost too much for him sometimes. I can't bring myself to add any more stress to his life.
As we walked back from the bus stop, I put on a brave face. I'd had all morning to cry. One of the big rules of parenting is that you don't get to expose your kids to your huge, scary adult emotions. Another rule is that you do everything you can to protect your child's innocence. Scary images and narratives can haunt children, which is why experts are all advising us to limit our kids' exposure to the media while this story is in the news.
When we got home, I did not turn on the news. I knew we had at least a weekend of golden blissful ignorance before he found out. He needed this weekend -- so did I. We stayed home. He seemed not to notice I never clicked on the usual NPR. Later I checked with the other parents in his class via email to find out what they were doing and how much their kids knew.
Almost all of the parents were not telling their kids about the shooting. One of the parents, a therapist, said she saw absolutely no value in telling her daughter what had happened. A Facebook friend of mine admitted she'd told her daughter and immediately regretted it. A couple of the kids had found out by accident, catching newspaper headlines on the street or news broadcasts at a pizza place. It was in this context that my friend's 6-year-old son learned what the word "several" means -- "several" children were shot to death. Those parents promised they'd ask their kids not to discuss the incident with other kids at school. Already I feel my "invincible" parental powers of protection slipping. And that's the story of parenting.
Now I feel like it's just a matter of time before my son finds out. We're fortunate to send him to a very small school (just one classroom per grade, and 18 or fewer kids per class). And our community is pretty sheltered. The teachers met with a psychologist this morning before classes and the administration says they won't bring it up. Still, they also sent parents guidelines for talking with our kids, in the event that they do find out. (I wrote a post on talking with your kids Friday as well.)
But at least if he finds out now, maybe some of the emotional heat will have subsided a bit. I'm prepared with that delicately-put question the therapist parent used on her daughter: "Did you hear any interesting news today from the kids?" I'll ask him, and if he tells me that he's heard of a horrific incident leading to the death of several children, I'll be prepared to talk with him about it. But I'll do just about anything to keep him in the dark for a little bit longer.
Have you been trying to shelter your kids from the news or do you feel like they should know?

In the years after the American Revolution there was widespread debt and economic problems in the 13 states. Many people owed money and had no means of repaying it. The courts in Massachusetts were directing that debtor's properties be sold at auction so the debts could be paid. Property was selling at very low prices so the system just made poor men poorer. In August 1786, Daniel Shays led a group of insurgents to Northampton to prevent the court there from sitting. The mob was successful in their mission. In September, a company of militia was called out from the Connecticut Valley towns to defend the Supreme Court in Springfield from the mob. This excerpt from "Our Busy Town" by Kelsey Flower contains Justin Hitchcock's description of the militia's experiences.

Trivalent chromium is the biologically active form. Hexavalent chromium (+6) is fairly unstable and is potentially toxic in the body. Chromium is not found in nature as a free metal, so it must be reduced to its elemental form to make the "chrome" used in the auto industry. This form, however, is not available to the body, so we cannot meet our daily chromium needs by sucking on car bumpers. The chromium in the blood is in the organic active form in the trivalent state, as part of GTF or carried with a beta-globulin protein.
Chromium is really considered an "ultra-trace" mineral, since it is needed in such small quantities to perform its essential functions. The blood contains about 20 parts per billion (ppb), a fraction of a microgram. Even though it is in such small concentrations, this mineral is important to health. There are about 6 mg. of chromium stored in the bodies of people who live in the United States; tissue levels of people in other countries are usually higher, and those higher levels tend to be associated with a lower incidence of diabetes and atherosclerosis. There is less hardening of the arteries in people of Asian countries, who it is estimated have five times higher chromium tissue levels than Americans. People of Near Eastern countries who have about four times the average U.S. levels and African people who have twice our chromium levels seem to experience less diabetes than Americans. These higher tissue levels of chromium are due primarily to better soil supplies and a less refined diet. Chromium may be only one of the factors accounting for the differences in rates of diabetes and atherosclerosis between cultures, but it is probably a major one.
Chromium is a difficult mineral to absorb. Figures range from 0.5-3 percent absorption for the inorganic chromium salts often found in food. The organic complexes of chromium, such as GTF, are absorbed better, at about 10-20 percent. The kidneys clear any excess from the blood, while much of chromium intake is eliminated through the feces. This mineral is stored in many parts of the body, including the skin, fat, brain, muscles, spleen, kidneys, and testes.
Tissue levels of chromium tend to decrease with age, which may be a factor in the increase of adult-onset diabetes, a disease whose incidence has risen more than sixfold in the past 50 years. This increase may mirror the loss of chromium from our diets because of soil deficiency and the refinement of foods. Much of the chromium in whole grains and sugarcane is lost in making refined flour (40 percent loss) and white sugar (93 percent loss). In addition, there is some evidence that refined flour and sugar deplete even more chromium from the body. Reduced absorption related to aging, diets that are stressful to the digestive system, and the modern refined diet all contribute to chromium deficiency. Higher fat intake also may inhibit chromium absorption. If chromium is as important as we think it is to blood sugar metabolism, its deficiency may be in part responsible, along with the refined and processed diet, for the third leading cause of death (more than 300,000 yearly) in this country, diabetes mellitus, and this figure does not reflect other deaths that may be related to chromium deficiency, since high blood sugar levels seen in diabetes also increase the progression of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, our number one killer. Diagnosing and treating chromium deficiency is simple and should be done as early as possible, as it is much easier to prevent diabetes than to treat it.

It is great for 'SALE!' in a one column ad. Also is a life saver for several long words in a narrow space like Merry Christmas...
If you need a full character set take a look at the new Ultra Condensed 3 font family. Ultra Condensed was based on Tall Skinny Condensed with some changes and a full character set. Ultra Condensed Lettered is a hand lettered version and Ultra Condensed Line is a lighter hand drawn version

As I'm learning about Chinese food, I find myself gravitating toward dishes like this one, where a simple, delicious vegetable is given another flavor dimension with the addition of a seafood umami component, such as dried shrimp. I don't often cook with dried shrimp, and if you don't either, don't be afraid. They're great to have on hand to experiment with.

When the Chestnut Hill Historical Society changed the date, location and ticket options for its annual fund-raising gala, it was uncertain how the community would feel. Those fears were put to rest on Saturday night when the community responded with resounding support, raising a total of $57,000.
The gala, now called A Preservation Celebration, was a huge success with more than 250 guests in attendance at the estate of Janet and Ron Rock on West Chestnut Hill Avenue.
The sold-out gala, presented by event sponsor East River Bank, also attracted five new members not only to support the event but also to join the organization's Anniversary Society as well.
"With a miniscule endowment of $8,800, we rely heavily on annual fundraising to support the operating budget," said Jennifer Hawk, CHHS executive director "The success of A Preservation Celebration is providing more than 20 percent of our operating budget, so that we continue to provide resources to historic homeowners, serve as advocates of our community's historic resources, maintain and make accessible the area's rich history in our archives and expand open space and watershed protection through the easement program."
"From start to finish, the evening was everything that we have been hoping for," said event co-chair Christy Kelly. "The Rock's house looked simply beautiful – it was the perfect menu. The food by Bacchus was exceptional. The music provided the perfect backdrop, and the incredible turnout all combined to make it an event that we were truly excited by."
Attendees exceeded the society's target by 25 percent and included many community residents and leaders. William R. Valerio, the Patricia Van Burgh Allison Director and CEO of the Woodmere Art Museum, joined the festivities.
"As the director of Woodmere, I am very excited to be working closely with the Chestnut Hill Historical Society," Valerio said. "We are both dedicated to preserving the past and making it relevant in the present."
Bacchus Catering, which has served at past historical society celebrations, changed its approach this year from a buffet style to a roaming feast. Guests loved having so many interesting options delivered in such a creative way. Committee members provided an endless supply of homemade holiday cookies and treats to complement the delicious foods.
Making desserts was just one of the many tasks completed by the committee of three dozen volunteers who planned the party, generated sponsorship, designed the logo and invitations, chose the menus, stuffed thousands of envelopes, selected the band and organized the raffle packages and silent auction items.
Joining long-time contributing sponsor Eichler & Moffly Realtors were new associate sponsors including Bank of America, Dennis F. Meyer, Inc., Logan Capital Management, Matthew Millan Architects and Nolan Painting.
"We are so appreciative of the support we receive from our gracious hosts the Rocks, the attendees, co-chairs Christy and Martha, the committee members and our sponsors," said Frank Niepold, president of the historical society.
If you were unable to attend Potpourri but would like to make a contribution to the Chestnut Hill Historical Society, please contact Audrey Simpson at (215)247-0417, ext. 103 or go to www.chhist.org.

Encouraged by a slowly improving economy and the progress that neighboring cities have shown on similar projects, the Newark City Council joined a re-emerging trend of transit-oriented developments by voting Thursday to rezone a parcel for the construction of 553 residences near a proposed train station.
Once built, the Newark project would be the first phase of the Dumbarton Transit-Oriented Development, a 205-acre project offering office space, retail, public parks and as many as 2,500 housing units on the city's western edge. It would be constructed near a station for Dumbarton Rail, a proposed regional transit system that would link Capitol Corridor, ACE, BART and Caltrain service, and carry riders from Alameda County to the Peninsula via a new rail bridge over the southern part of San Francisco Bay.
Newark's ambitious proposal is but one of several East Bay developments in various stages of progress that aim to build higher-density housing near a transit hub.
The planned mixed-use projects — in the works in cities ranging from Fremont to Walnut Creek to Oakland and parts in between — illustrate how the region's percolating economy is prompting developers to dip their toes back in the housing waters.
"That developers are interested in doing this, it's an indication of the upsurge in the economy," said Terrence Grindall, Newark's community development director. "We're hopeful it creates momentum of people investing and building in our area."
Momentum already has begun in Union City, where construction is under way on the BART Intermodal Station that will be the hub for Dumbarton Rail.
Last week, city leaders celebrated the completion of a 157-unit apartment building and a plaza next to the station that includes a fountain and public art. Officials there envision the mixed-use, 105-acre project as a transit hub with housing, shops and office space that will serve multiple rail and bus lines. They hope one day to have 1,925 units and nearly 2,600 jobs within a quarter-mile of the station
Fremont's plans are not nearly as far along but are no less bold. City leaders are eyeing similar housing-retail projects in several areas, including a 110-acre downtown parcel near Fremont BART and the 850 acres surrounding the proposed Warm Springs BART station on the city's southern edge.
Jeff Schwob, Fremont's community development director, said the state's Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, also known as SB375, is driving the projects' progress throughout the region. "The law says we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and the best way to do that is through land-use planning to reduce the miles our vehicles travel," Schwob said.
By planning housing and stores around transit options, the cities keep vehicles off the road, reduce greenhouse gases and improve air quality.
"Each city has to come up with ways to make a dent in the overall picture," he said. "Everyone's doing their slice of the pie to reduce emissions."
If a city doesn't follow SB375's land-use guidelines, then the state can punish it, Grindall said. "The city's housing element in its general plan won't be certified, and then the city can't approve any new development, and it becomes ineligible for almost all state grants," he said.
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the region's planning agencies for development and transit, long have been encouraging cities to construct these kinds of projects, Grindall said.
"ABAG said if cities in suburban areas want to have public transit, those cities should have development around it," he said. "A lot of different objectives have flowed together."
Similar East Bay transit developments include the area near the south Hayward BART station. Eden Housing, a nonprofit, aims to build 151 affordable-housing rental units. About 210 market-rate condominiums are being built by a private organization, JMJ Development, said Kelly McAdoo, Hayward's assistant city manager.
Near Lafayette BART, a transit village offering 72 condominiums next to existing shops and apartments is being considered, and the Walnut Creek City Council voted last month to move a BART Transit Village apartment-and-retail project toward its next phase.
Construction also has started at a similar project at Oakland's MacArthur BART station, said Luna Salaver, a BART spokeswoman.
"In the 1940s, '50s and '60s, it was all about sprawl," she said. "But today's it's all about living closer to transportation hubs and improving our quality of life in the Bay Area."

Seahawks Crush Saints In Seattle
The New Orleans Saints entered Monday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks only 1 game back of first place in the NFC. They left Seattle two games back, but the gap feels so much wider.
New Orleans had heard they weren't a good road team, they couldn't win outdoors against a quality opponent, they couldn't play well in cold weather, and so on and so forth. After getting trounced by the Seahawks 34-7 Monday night, the Saints will hear the doubts even louder from their critics, regardless of whether or not quarterback Drew Brees wants to hear it.
"Since 2009, we have the most road wins of any team in the NFL. Since 2006, we have the second most behind the New England Patriots...Nobody has really done their research obviously," explained Brees. "We don't prove anybody wrong that's saying that (road struggles) by tonight's performance."
Seattle's defense opened the game by forcing the Saints into a 3 and out, setting a tone for the rest of the night. On the following New Orleans possession, the Seahawks D picked off a deflected Brees pass and returned for a TD, taking an early 10-0 lead. By the time the first quarter ended, the Seahawks had jumped to an impressive 17-0 lead.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson often expresses his admiration for Brees. Monday night, Wilson played like an MVP, while Brees failed to throw for 200 yards for the first time in 43 games.
Wilson finished with 22-30 for 310 yards and 3 TDs, sporting an impressive 139.6 QB rating. Brees was a bit long on several throws, going 23-38 for 147 yards and a touchdown.
"Attention to details is where it's at," Wilson said. "We had a great balanced attack. We made some huge plays."
New Orleans rushing attack was lackluster, managed just 44 yards on 17 carries. Trailing 27-7 at halftime, the Saints had to abandon most of the run game in the second half.
Seattle rushed for 127 yards, led by Wilson who had 47.
"The fact of the matter is we took one on the chin today. We got outplayed today. They played great and they made a lot of plays. We didn't," said Brees. "They deserve a lot of credit by defensively and offensively...we're a better team than what we showed."
They'll need to be Sunday night. New Orleans (9-3) is still in second place in the NFC, but have the same record as divisional rival Carolina. The Panthers (9-3) come to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for a huge game that could decide the NFC South division. Kickoff is set for 7:30.

Launching the 2013 portion of the wrestling season with a home meet last Thursday, the Blue Devils of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy secured three pins and a major decision, but that was not enough to overcome Roman Catholic High School.
The visiting Cahillites were outscored 22-19 by the Devils in matches decided on the mat, but they acquired 36 team points in forfeits from SCH, enough to take a 55-22 victory back to Broad and Vine. The setback lowered Springside Chestnut Hill's record in dual meets to 2-7.
Shorthanded SCH has had to forfeit roughly four individual matches per dual meet all season long, but last week the situation became more dire as juniors Anthony Liddy and Jeff Mikalonis-Lieberman were sidelined for medical reasons.
At the starting weight of 138 lbs. in Tuesday's meet, neither SCH freshman Bakari Porter nor Roman Catholic sophomore Jerry Gaydosh scored at all in the first two periods, but in the third round a reversal and a pair of near falls added up to an 8-0 major decision for Gaydosh.
Next, Blue Devils 145 George Kunkel gained a 4-0 lead in points before pinning fellow senior Kurt Konrad with nine seconds left in the second period. That moved the hosts ahead 6-4 in the team score, but it would be the only lead they enjoyed all afternoon. At 152 pounds, Roman regained the advantage when junior John Pozza pinned SCH freshman Kevin O'Donnell late in the opening round.
Senior Kevin Leyland, the 160-pounder for the Cahillites, was on the verge of a technical decision with a series of takedowns and near-falls, but after piling up a 16-3 lead he pinned Blue Devils ninth-grader Nick Franz in the second stanza.
An SCH forfeit at 170 lbs. spread the score to 22-6, but the home side of the scoreboard got moving again thanks to junior 182 Ben Rubin. He built an 8-0 lead during the first two periods, then started the third in the superior position, controlling Roman junior Atticus Robinson all the way until the buzzer to maintain the margin needed for a major decision.
After the 195 lb. bout, the Devils were actually back within six points of the leaders, at 22-16. Here, sophomore Desmond Johnson pinned up visiting senior Teron Griffith with 17 ticks to go in the opening frame.
Roman's lead ballooned again thanks to forfeits the Cahillites collected at 220, 285, and 106 pounds.
Springside Chestnut Hill reached its final total for the day in the 113 lb. bout. This one was over quickly, as senior Jordan Wang needed just 17 seconds to flatten the shoulders of freshman guest Jim Pham. However, the Devils gave those six points right back again with a forfeit at 120 lbs.
The only match that ended with a routine decision came when sophomores squared off at 126 lbs. and Tyler Ricco outscored SCH's Jackson Bistrong, 8-4. A final SCH forfeit, at 132 lbs., ended the encounter.

Yoga ball, exercise ball, gym ball, fitness ball — whatever you call it, it's a must have for all active people. An exercise ball can be used for both stretching and toning exercises, but if you're new to this piece of gym equipment, here are some things you should know.
When choosing an exercise ball, you should know they come in three sizes, depending on your height.
Check the list below to see which size is right for you before purchasing one.
4'11" to 5'4" height: 55 cm ball
5'4" to 5'11" height: 65 cm ball
5'11" to 6' 7" height: 75 cm ball
(There is also a 85 cm ball but they are harder to find)
Now that you know which size ball to use, here are some ways you can use it:
Use the ball as a weight bench. Lie across it on your back and do chest presses, tricep presses, or lying pec flies to work your upper body. Since you're using your legs to keep your body stable, you end up toning your glutes, quads, and hamstrings as well.
Use it to elevate parts of your body. Raising your upper or lower body on a ball can help target specific muscle groups more effectively. Try doing push-ups or bridge leg lifts with a ball and you'll end up working many muscles at one time.
Do ab work. Crunches, abdominal twists, and bicycle crunches are so much more challenging on a ball, since lying on one engages your abs even before you start doing any exercises.
Do yoga and Pilates moves. You can tone and increase flexibility by using a ball to do basic poses and exercises. Do backbends and back strengthening exercises such as prone leg raises. A ball can also support your body weight to help you balance when trying challenging poses such as Scorpion.

Angels & Divas
Hi, I'm Lauren, I live and work in Australia, and I run a growing business selling womens' lingerie, clothing and accessories. I currently operate through eBay.com.au and am in the process of designing my own website (link to web template below). If you plan to visit my eBay store, that's fine but please bear in mind I will not be selling the sunglasses on my new website. I also plan to expand my range of lingerie, clothes and accessories. e.g. handbags, jewellery.
I am passionate about what I do and strive for customer satisfaction and quality service.
My shop helps women of all shapes and sizes feel good in what they wear. ( I sell a range of plus size items).
I sell good quality goods at low/affordable prices.
This is hopefully the first of a number of design requirements as I plan to expand my business and set up websites in addition to Angels and Divas.
Target audience will be mainly women, but I also have male customers buying gifts for their partners.
Women of all sizes should feel comfortable buying from me.
Women of all ages are regular customers, although most customers will be under 45 years of age.
I'm an on-line business so the target audience is on-line buyers.
I need a logo that will help build my brand, both online and through local advertising. The logo will be used online but also on marketing materials such as local television advertising, fliers and business stationery.
Here's the webtemplate where the logo will feature:
Although this webtemplate currently shows just lingerie, please bear in mind that that is not all I will sell.
The logo will be a feature of the website and will therefore need to 'tie in' with the website. I like the deep pink and black in the website so would probably like to see those colours within my logo - although I am open to your own creatvity / concepts.
I'm looking for a logo that oozes stylish, sexy, modern and elegant - it needs to be striking and simple
So no cartoons please.
No 'tacky' Angels. Nothing that looks too sleazy.
Simple and not too busy
I'm open to ideas but am thinking of Angels and Divas (or '&' is good too) wording with a nice icon.
I'd like to be able to use the icon from the logo, independently from the logo as well (e.g. use simply on letter head or business card)
Font needs to also be classy, but readable online
I need the logo in file types that allow use for all web and print.

The Toyota Supra was a spinoff of the Celica when it was first introduced. In fact, the car was called the Celica Supra before the Celica tag was dropped from the name. The Supra was a distinct improvement over the Celica, providing the power of an inline six-cylinder engine to the mix.
The Toyota Supra was discontinued in 1998 due to a drop in sales. As of 2012, rumors have flown that a new Supra is in the works, but no official announcement was made. Motor Trend reports that rumors of a 400 horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 hybrid power Supra is in the works and may be released in 2015. For a lot of Supra fans, this is welcome news, but reports are still hazy.
The Toyota Supra is still known as a desirable performance vehicle on the used market. The early models do not have as much to offer as the third generation, when the nameplate really started to come into its own. By the time the fourth and fifth generation models were released, the Supra was one of the best performance vehicles on the market during the 1990s.
The vehicle was and is a desirable car for car enthusiasts who like to tweak their engines into super powered monsters. The last Supra was made in the 1998 model year.
The first Toyota Supra was under the Toyota Celica name, which was released in 1979. The original model was based on the Celica hatchback. The Supra has a few differences, sporting a 2.6-liter inline six-cylinder and Toyota's first electronic fuel injection. A 2.8-liter single overhead cam was introduced in 1981 with a four-speed automatic transmission option for those who didn't want the five-speed manual.
The second generation Celica Supra was introduced in 1982. The new 2.8-liter inline six-cylinder was a bit more powerful, producing 145 horsepower. Two trim lines were available, although both vehicles shared the same engine and mechanics. The L-Type was the base model. The Performance version had fender flares, wider wheels, and better tires as well as sporty flashes. The second generation stayed the same throughout this run, although the horsepower was improved to 160 in 1984.
The Supra was introduced as its own, specific nameplate in 1986. This was because the Celica was changed to a front-wheel drive vehicle, while the Supra remained rear-wheel. A 3.0-liter engine with 200 horsepower was introduced, but some of the power was offset by the increase of weight; it was nearly 500 pounds heavier than the previous generation. A year later, a super-powered engine that produced 230 horsepower could accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about seven to eight seconds.
The fourth generation Supra was sold between 1993 and 1998 and saw a big increase in power and change in style. The nose sloped to make it more aerodynamic and the body was softer and curved. It was still a rear-wheel drive hatchback, however.
The base model had an impressive 3.0-liter, 24-valve, inline-six engine. This monster produced 220 horsepower with 215 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic were available. A Supra Turbo line was also introduced, which had an improved 3.0-liter that produced 320 horsepower. The car could go zero to 60 mph in around five seconds, a great improvement over the previous generation. The Turbo also had a sport tuned suspension system and 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels. A six-speed manual was also introduced at this time for greater control.
Few changes were made throughout the fourth generation run. The base model received greater power at takeoff because of an improved drive ratio. The Turbo had to give up the six-speed transmission in 1996 due to new regulations, but got it back in 1997 after a redesign. Big upgrades were given in 1997 as well.
If you are looking for a used version, these late model vehicles are a good choice. It's very reliable as long as regular oil changes were made throughout the car's lifetime. Resale on the Supra can be high because of its reliability and performance. Check the owner's history before buying to ensure there weren't any bad modifications made to the engine, which sometimes happens due to the adaptability. The third generation models do have a problem with blown gaskets if the oil was not regularly changed. Always check the owner's records before purchasing a used Supra.
The Supra can be a speed demon's dream. Heavily modified Supra models are used for racing throughout the world. A Supra model even performed in the All-Japan Grand Touring Championship and performed quite well.

Hello and welcome back!
This year, we are very blessed that we have over 70 men studying for the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Boston. On Friday, we had a Holy Hour and dinner for them at the Pastoral Center.
At different times during the year, I like to meet with the seminarians together as a group and also in smaller gatherings.
Father Dan Hennessey gave a short talk and then I also gave some remarks.
– – –
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of ordaining 13 permanent deacons for our archdiocese, whom I refer to as "the baker's dozen."
The ordination Mass was wonderful and it is always inspiring to be able to ordain these men who have answered God's call to serve the Church through this ministry.
As a young priest, I myself used to run a diaconate program. I have great admiration for the work that deacons do and I know that our priests are very grateful for their presence in our parishes.
This year, in addition to parish assignments, the deacons were also given assignments to assist with different ministries and offices of the archdiocese, such as prison ministry or the Pro-Life Office. We are very blessed that, going forward, we will be having diaconate ordinations every year.
We are grateful to Deacon Dan Burns, Deacon Pat Guerrini, and Sister Mary Reardon and for all of the teachers and workers in the diaconate program.
– – –
The following day, Sunday, we had the annual Red Mass for those involved in the practice of law. The Red Mass has its origins in England and France, where it was the opening Mass for the courts, calling on the Holy Spirit for guidance and wisdom. The Mass gets its name from the red vestments of the Mass of the Holy Spirit and also the red robes judges wore at the time.
In every diocese where I have been bishop, I have begun a Red Mass if they didn't have one. There has always been a great response by those in the legal profession. Here in Boston, the Mass is organized by the Catholic Lawyers' Guild of the archdiocese. Every year, the Guild hosts the Red Mass Luncheon following the Mass.
In my homily I addressed a ballot initiative petition, recently certified by the Attorney General of Massachusetts, in support of legalizing physician assisted suicide in our state. I wanted to raise this issue with the jurists because I think they have a unique responsibility and an opportunity to influence public policy in the Commonwealth. I wanted to bring to them the fact that this initiative is afoot.
We must be alert and engaged in an aggressive education process because very often, at first take, people can be seduced by the language of "compassion" and "dignity." However, I think that when people understand the issue further, they will realize that when we are talking about assisted suicide, we are talking about participating in a murder of a human being.
We also look at the experience of Oregon, where they have legalized physician assisted suicide for the terminally ill and now, a few years later, they have among the highest suicide rates in the country. As I said in my homily, a vote for physician assisted suicide is a vote for suicide. It's telling people that this is a legitimate "out" if you are suffering or if you have a problem. It also sets the government up to decide what categories of people have a life that is worth living — a very dangerous prerogative.
And of course for us, as believers, we know that God's law is written on our hearts and we see that faith and reason certainly coincide in indicating here what is the best course of action for the common good and for society. I was very pleased by the response that the lawyers gave to the message and their desire to be on board in fighting against the practice of physician assisted suicide.
At the luncheon after the Mass, there was an extraordinary talk by Justice Phillip Rapoza, who spoke about St. Thomas More. He gave some very interesting facts about the saint's life and interpreted them for today's world. Like St. Thomas, we are called upon to live our faith in a time of opposition and of challenge.
Justice Rapoza
We are grateful to the president of the Catholic Lawyers' Guild, Justice Joseph Nolan, and their chaplain, Father Mark O'Connell, for their efforts in organizing the Mass and luncheon.

Then, in the afternoon, I went to visit the Daughters of St. Paul in Jamaica Plain where they had a tea event. This is the event's second year and they give out an award called the Cordero Award. It is named after Mother Paula Cordero, who brought the order to the United States with some of their early sisters. I was very pleased to attend this event, which raises money to support the Daughters' formation program.
This year, the Cordero Award was presented to Father Bob Reed, the president of the CatholicTV Network. Father Reed gave a very beautiful talk on his ministry in the media.

That evening, I went to the home of Consuelo Isaacson for the annual gathering she hosts to raise funds for Caritas Cubana, which supports the Church's social ministries in Cuba. Particularly, it supports daycare centers and centers for the elderly, food programs, and provides medical supplies.
With Consuelo Isaacason
Caritas Cubana is an extraordinary organization that has achieved so much, despite the fact that the government in Cuba has not allowed the Church to really participate in the social ministries. Yet, Caritas Cubana has been able to support the initiatives that are taking place in the parishes.

On Monday, I attended a Red Sox game with our senior priests from Regina Cleri. It was a beautiful day; we had a lovely box at Fenway Park that was generously provided to us by Hill-Holiday. John Kaneb, who is one of the owners, was with us.
It was a perfect day, the only fly in the ointment was that the Orioles won the game! I must say it was one of the few times I've ever gone to a Red Sox game where they didn't win. But they won that night, so apparently we went to the wrong game.
I was pleased to see Father Phillip King, who is well known among Boston priests and who recently published a book on Biblical archeology. He will soon be moving into Regina Cleri, along with Father Vincent Dailey, the uncle of Father Vin Dailey at St. Gregory's in Dorchester.
With Father King and Father Dailey
Despite the Red Sox's loss, it was a great opportunity to be with our senior priests and I think they all enjoyed it very much.

On Tuesday, I had lunch at the cathedral with the new bishop of the Diocese of Manchester N.H., Bishop Peter Libasci.
We had a nice visit with him on his way back from New Hampshire, where the announcement of his nomination was made the day before. We are looking forward to his installation, which will be on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Dec. 8.
– – –
That afternoon, I attended a ground breaking of the Barstow Village housing development in Hanover, which will provide affordable housing for senior citizens.
They have already begun the foundation and hope to have it finished in a few months.
This project is just another example of the extraordinary work our Planning Office for Urban Affairs does in developing mixed income and senior housing.
– – –
Later that day, I had Mass at the Pastoral Center for the Catholic Charities board, followed by their annual meeting.
Catholic Charities, of course, is doing extraordinary work in these difficult times. During the meeting we heard that Charities has been able to stabilize their financial situation with the help of so many generous donors. We also received a report on the important work being done at the afterschool programs of the Labouré Child Care Center in South Boston.
– – –
On Wednesday morning, I visited St. Agatha Parish in Milton to celebrate the 70th anniversary of their school. They have 604 students in the school, which was originally staffed by the Sisters of St. Joseph. Father Peter Casey is the pastor and they have an outstanding program there.
At the Mass, the children's choir sang and the children participated with such fervor and devotion that really makes you more convinced than ever of the value of our Catholic schools in evangelizing and introducing our children to the faith.
– – –
That evening, I attended Blessed John XXIII National Seminary's 30th Annual Lawn Party in Weston. As many of you will know, Blessed John is very special in its role of forming men over age 40 for the priesthood for dioceses throughout the country.
As they usually do, during the dinner we heard talks by two seminarians, one studying for the Archdiocese of Boston and one from another diocese. Both gave excellent witnesses.
The one from Boston, David Goldman, is a convert from Judaism who had contemplated becoming a rabbi at one point. After reading the New Testament, a long period of prayer and consultation with priests, he decided to enter the RCIA in 2009.
The other man, James Nolte, is from the Springfield Diocese and he gave a compelling talk about praying for a servant's heart even as a boy, and then having a variety of jobs before deciding to enter the seminary. He is due to be ordained this spring.
I'm always very impressed by the vocational stories of the seminarians from Blessed John XXIII. They all have very interesting lives and, at a certain point, the grace of God brings them to the vocation of the priesthood.
In my remarks, I told the people that I'm the only bishop in the United States who has had four dioceses. They are all very different, but one thing they had in common was priests who were graduates of Blessed John. They were all excellent priests, so I thanked the guests for their support of the seminary.
Dr. John LaRossa and his wife Gretchen were chairpersons for the committee that worked so hard to put together this important event, which raises about a quarter of a million dollars for the seminary.
We are very grateful to the committee, the rector Father Bill Pallardy and all those who came to support the work Blessed John XXIII Seminary.
Until next week,
Cardinal Seán

Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, who pleaded guilty to several criminal charges earlier this week, went through the formal booking and release process in jail Saturday morning, officials confirmed.
According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, Filner was booked at 7:11 a.m. and released at 8:57 a.m. at Central Jail in downtown San Diego.
Per the criminal charges he pleaded guilty to earlier this week, Filner was charged with felony false imprisonment by violence and two misdemeanor counts of battery.
His sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 9.
On Tuesday, Filner appeared in a San Diego courtroom and pleaded guilty to the three criminal charges.
Court documents said the charges involved three victims identified only as "Jane Does 1,2 and 3."
At a March 6 fundraising event with Jane Doe 1, Filner admitted that he "used force to restrain her against her will and used additional force to overcome her resistance."
At a "Meet the Mayor" event on April 6, Filner admitted he kissed Jane Doe 2 on the lips without her consent.
On May 25, he attended a Fiesta Island rally and cleanup event where he was asked to take a photo with Jane Doe 3. The woman said the mayor grabbed her buttocks just before the photo was taken. In court, Filner admitted the count was true.
Under the terms of Filner's plea agreement, state prosecutors said the former mayor will serve three years of probation, as well as three months of home confinement. He'll also have to undergo treatment by a mental health professional while on probation.

DENVER (AP) -- Facebook profiles and other social-media accounts could be off-limits to employers under a bill approved unanimously in a Colorado House committee Tuesday.
The measure, approved 11-0, would bar most employers from requiring access to their workers' personal accounts. Several states already have such protections, and dozens more are considering them.
The bill would not prohibit companies from looking at Facebook pages or punishing employees for what they post on their personal sites. But it would ban them from requiring current or potential employees to provide passwords for personal accounts.
The measure's sponsor said private social media accounts should be considered like physical photographs.
"It's never been acceptable for en employer to ask to see an employee's personal photos," said Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver.
The bill was amended to exempt law enforcement agencies and corrections workers, since those workers' personal opinions or off-duty actions can affect their use as witnesses in criminal matters.
"They need to know that the people they have working for them are above reproach and have a higher standard," said Ann Marie Jensen of the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police.
Lawmakers rejected a proposal to give all businesses permission to require personal social media access for "legitimate business interests."
Kim Smiley of the Colorado Defense Lawyers Association suggested businesses should be allowed to require access in some cases. She used examples of an employee threatening violence or bragging about drinking alcohol on the clock.
Lawmakers responded that employers dealt with those problems long before social media networking. Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, pointed out that employers once used their noses to suss out an employee who drank too much at lunch.
"There was life before Facebook," Szabo said.
The measure awaits one more committee vote before it's considered by the full House.

Medieval science among the Arabians
successors of Mohammed showed themselves curiously receptive of the ideas
of the western people whom they conquered. They came in contact with the
Greeks in western Asia and in Egypt, and, as has been said, became their
virtual successors in carrying forward the torch of learning. It must not
be inferred, however, that the Arabian scholars, as a class, were comparable
to their predecessors in creative genius. On the contrary, they retained
much of the conservative oriental spirit. They were under the spell of
tradition, and, in the main, what they accepted from the Greeks they regarded
as almost final in its teaching. There were, however, a few notable exceptions
among their men of science, and to these must be ascribed several discoveries
of some importance.
The chief subjects that excited the interest and exercised the ingenuity of the Arabian scholars were astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. The practical phases of all these subjects were given particular attention. Thus it is well known that our so-called Arabian numerals date from this period. The revolutionary effect of these characters, as applied to practical mathematics, can hardly be overestimated; but it is generally considered, and in fact was admitted by the Arabs themselves, that these numerals were really borrowed from the Hindoos, with whom the Arabs came in contact on the east. Certain of the Hindoo alphabets, notably that of the Battaks of Sumatra, give us clews to the originals of the numerals. It does not seem certain, however, that the Hindoos employed these characters according to the decimal system, which is the prime element of their importance. Knowledge is not forthcoming as to just when or by whom such application was made. If this was an Arabic innovation, it was perhaps the most important one with which that nation is to be credited. Another mathematical improvement was the introduction into trigonometry of the sine - the half-chord of the double arc - instead of the chord of the arc itself which the Greek astronomers had employed. This improvement was due to the famous Albategnius, whose work in other fields we shall examine in a moment.
Another evidence of practicality was shown in the Arabian method of attempting to advance upon Eratosthenes' measurement of the earth. Instead of trusting to the measurement of angles, the Arabs decided to measure directly a degree of the earth's surface - or rather two degrees. Selecting a level plain in Mesopotamia for the experiment, one party of the surveyors progressed northward, another party southward, from a given point to the distance of one degree of arc, as determined by astronomical observations. The result found was fifty-six miles for the northern degree, and fifty-six and two-third miles for the southern. Unfortunately, we do not know the precise length of the mile in question, and therefore cannot be assured as to the accuracy of the measurement. It is interesting to note, however, that the two degrees were found of unequal lengths, suggesting that the earth is not a perfect sphere - a suggestion the validity of which was not to be put to the test of conclusive measurements until about the close of the eighteenth century. The Arab measurement was made in the time of Caliph Abdallah al-Mamun, the son of the famous Harun-al-Rashid. Both father and son were famous for their interest in science. Harun-al-Rashid was, it will be recalled, the friend of Charlemagne. It is said that he sent that ruler, as a token of friendship, a marvellous clock which let fall a metal ball to mark the hours. This mechanism, which is alleged to have excited great wonder in the West, furnishes yet another instance of Arabian practicality.

Pol Pot was an atheist
Background History[edit]
Pol Pot, also known as Saloth Sar, was the leader of the communist party of Cambodia from, and served as the Prime Minister from 1976-to 1979 in the Democratic Kampuchea. In his reign he attempted to purify Cambodia, through an Agrarian Socialism, which forced people to move into the country to restart Cambodian civilization. This led to a poor infrastructure and a mass genocide, killing 1.7 to 2.5 million people. With the poor quality of living and the mass murder of people, a total of 21% of the Cambodian population died. Pol Pot lost his power after the Vietnam invaded in 1979, during the Cambodian-Vietnam War. This forced him to flee into the southwestern jungle of the border between Cambodia and Thailand. Pol Pot died in 1998 under house arrest of the Ta Mok faction of the Khmer Rouge.
Apologists often point to people like Pol Pot, trying to make a point about atheism:
- Pol Pot was an evil murderer.
- Pol Pot was an atheist.
- Thus, Pol Pot's atheism has something to do with him being an evil murderer.
- Therefore, atheism causes evil.
The point of the argument is to try establish that it's wrong to be an atheist, because if too many people are atheists, bad things will happen.
Counter Apologetics[edit]
This apologetic is an example of an association fallacy. If Pol Pot had a mustache, we wouldn't conclude that anyone with a mustache is like Pol Pot. This particular implementation of the fallacy is rampant, whether the example is Pol Pot, Stalin or Hitler (though he wasn't actually an atheist).
The claim that atheism causes evil is a subtle, but ultimately refutable claim.
Scriptural arguments[edit]
According to Christianity, God supposedly places those in authority in power Romans 13:1 , including corrupt and psychotic leaders. This makes God responsible for the actions of Pol Pot and shows that God is capable of evil.
