fish is a user friendly commandline shell intended mostly for interactive use.
Installation instructions
To install the package for fish using pacman (the package is in the community repo) run:
# pacman -S fish
To verify that it has been installed you can run:
$ less /etc/shells
If you wanted to make fish your default shell run:
$ chsh -s /usr/bin/fish
Pacman and fish
Context-aware completions for pacman and makepkg are built into fish, since the policy of the fish development is to include all the existent completions in the upstream tarball. The memory management is clever enough to avoid any negative impact on resources.
In arch, there are a lot of shell scripts written for bash, and these have not been translated to fish. It is advisable not to set fish as your default shell because of this. The best option is to open your terminal emulator (gnome-terminal, konsole, sakura, etc...) with a command line option that executes fish. For most terminals this is the -e switch, so for example, to open gnome-terminal using fish, change your shortcut to use:
gnome-terminal -e fish
Another option is to set fish as the default shell for the terminal in the terminal's configuration or for a terminal profile if your terminal emulator has a profiles feature. This is contrast to changing the default shell for the user which would cause the above mentioned problem.
To set fish as the shell started in tmux, put this into your .tmux.conf:
set-option -g default-shell "/usr/bin/fish"
Not setting fish as system wide default allows the arch scripts to run on startup, ensure the environment variables are set correctly, and generally reduces the issues associated with using a non-bash compatible terminal like fish.
If you decide to set fish as your default shell, you may find that you no longer have very much in your path. You can add a section to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish file that will set your path correctly on login. This is much like .profile or .bash_profile as it is only executed for login shells.
if status --is-login set PATH $PATH /usr/bin /sbin end
Note that you will need to manually add various other environment variables, such as $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH. It is a huge amount of work to get a seamless experience with fish as your default shell.
Configuration Suggestions
If you would like fish to display the branch and dirty status when you are in a git directory, you can add the following to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish:
set fish_git_dirty_color red function parse_git_dirty git diff --quiet HEAD ^&- if test $status = 1 echo (set_color $fish_git_dirty_color)"Δ"(set_color normal) end end function parse_git_branch # git branch outputs lines, the current branch is prefixed with a * set -l branch (git branch --color ^&- | awk '/*/ {print $2}') echo $branch (parse_git_dirty) end function fish_prompt if test -z (git branch --quiet 2>| awk '/fatal:/ {print "no git"}') printf '%s@%s %s%s%s (%s) $ ' (whoami) (hostname|cut -d . -f 1) (set_color $fish_color_cwd) (prompt_pwd) (set_color normal) (parse_git_branch) else printf '%s@%s %s%s%s $ ' (whoami) (hostname|cut -d . -f 1) (set_color $fish_color_cwd) (prompt_pwd) (set_color normal) end end
If su starts with bash (because bash is the default shell), define a function in fish:
~> funced su su> function su su --shell=/usr/bin/fish $argv end ~> funcsave su

Current state of fish development
The original developer, Axel Liljencrantz has abandoned the project. The rest of his team slowly took over and transferred the codebase to gitorius: http://gitorious.org/fish-shell
So far several bug fixes are available from the git repository. Also, there is an AUR package for the git master branch, which is considered stable for everyday use: fish-git.
Development has been started again on fish, do not expect big changes though in the near future.

Whooping Cough Pertussis in AdultsWhooping Cough Pertussis In Adults - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is whooping cough (pertussis)?
Whooping cough, or pertussis, is very contagious and primarily affects infants and young children. Caused by a bacterium called bordetella pertussis, it is characterized by paroxysms (intense spells) of coughing that end with a characteristic "whoop" as air is inhaled. Whooping cough caused thousands of deaths in the 1930s and 1940s, but, with the advent of a vaccine, the rate of death has declined dramatically. Even though pertussis vaccines are very effective, if pertussis is circulating in the community, there is a possibility that even a fully vaccinated person can catch the disease.
What are the symptoms of whooping cough?
The disease starts like the common cold, with a runny nose or congestion, sneezing, and sometimes a mild cough or fever. Usually, after one to two weeks, severe coughing begins. The following are the most common symptoms of whooping cough. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Infants less then 6 months old may not have a classic whooping cough or it may be difficult to hear. Instead of coughing, infants may have something called apnea or a pause in breathing, which is very serious. You should consult your doctor or call 911 if you observe pauses in breathing. Symptoms may include:
Coughing, violently and rapidly, until all the air has left the lungs and a person is forced to inhale, causing a "whooping" sound
Nasal discharge
Sore, watery eyes
Lips, tongue, and nailbeds may turn blue during coughing spells
Whooping cough can last up to 10 weeks and can lead to pneumonia.
The symptoms of whooping cough may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
How is whooping cough diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and medical examination, diagnosis of whooping cough is often confirmed with a culture taken from the nose.
What is the treatment for whooping cough?
Specific treatment for whooping cough will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your overall health and medical history
Extent of the condition
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Antibiotics are generally not helpful once severe coughing has begun, but do help to prevent the spread of infection after three or four days of treatment. Other treatment may include:
Keeping warm
Eating small, frequent meals
Drinking plenty of fluids
Reducing stimuli that may provoke coughing
Hospitalization may be required in severe cases.
Can whooping cough be prevented?
Although a vaccine has been developed against whooping cough, which is routinely given to children in the first year of life, cases of the disease still occur, especially in infants younger than 6 months of age.
According to the CDC, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of pertussis since the 1980s, especially in teenagers (10 to 19 years of age) and babies less than 6 months of age. The CDC recommends that children need five DTaP shots for maximum protection against pertussis. A DTaP shot is a combination vaccine that protects against three diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. The first three shots are given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. Between 15 and 18 months of age, the fourth shot is given, and a fifth shot when a child enters school at 4 to 6 years of age. At regular checkups for 11- or 12-year-olds, a preteen should get a dose of Tdap. The Tdap booster contains tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. If an adult did not get a Tdap as a preteen or teen, he or she should get a dose of Tdap instead of the Td booster. All adults 19-64 years old should get a Td booster every 10 years, but it can be given before the 10-year mark. Adults 65 and older should get a one-time booster if they are going to be around newborns and infants less then 12 months old. And pregnant women who are not already vaccinated should have the booster late in the second trimester or in the third trimester. Always consult your doctor for advice.

You would have to have been living under a rock for the past 48 hours—or nursing an epic hangover—to have not heard of the bipartisan fiscal-cliff compromise that passed Congress on New Year's Day. The law is called the "American Taxpayer Relief Act." It should have been called the "GOP Politician Relief Act," though, since it passed Congress because Congressional Republicans were afraid of being blamed for a fiscal cliff-mandated tax hike on most Americans. Republicans are comforting themselves by claiming that, in the next round of fiscal negotiations, they will have more leverage. But the opposite is true: Republicans will have even less leverage in future deals, and government will grow even larger as a result.
The deal cleans up a number of Congressional accounting gimmicks…
First, let's review the fiscal cliff deal. The good news is that the law gets rid of a number of short-term accounting gimmicks by making permanent fixes to a broad swath of the federal tax code. The law permanently enshrines the Bush tax cuts for individual income taxes—which were, once upon a time, the bane of progressives' existence—for individuals making less than $400,000.
Similarly, the law makes other permanent changes to the tax code. The alternative minimum tax, or AMT, will finally be permanently indexed to inflation: the largest tax-based discrepancy between the Congressional Budget Office's long-term budget projections based on current law, and its more realistic "alternative scenario" in which Congress continues prior fiscal policies such as short-term fixes to the AMT.
Making these rates permanent, after years of temporary gimmickry, means that individuals and small businesses can finally plan their affairs, knowing what their tax rates will be for the near- to medium-term. Policy certainty, all else being equal, is a good thing.
…at a tremendous fiscal cost…
But this end to Congressional accounting gimmicks on the tax side comes with a price tag. Enshrining the Bush tax rates for individuals making less than $400,000 a year will increase the deficit by $762 billion over the next ten years. The permanent AMT fix will cost $1.8 trillion over the same time period. Overall, the tax provisions of the American Taxpayer Relief Act will increase the deficit by $3.9 trillion over ten years, relative to what would have happened had we jumped over the fiscal cliff.
And taxes are still going up. Taxes on capital gains and dividends will increase to a maximum rate of 20 percent. (Under the Bush tax cuts, capital gains and dividends were taxed at 15 percent; after their expiration, capital gains were to be taxed at 20 percent, and dividends at ordinary income tax rates as high as 39.6 percent.) Increasing capital-gains taxes by 33% will dramatically increase the cost, and the risk, of investing in the private sector.
In addition, of course, the law increases tax rates on those making more than $400,000, and phases out important tax exemptions for those making more than $250,000.
…with zero spending reform
The key driver of our persistent deficits is federal health-care spending. The law makes no serious attempt to reform health spending; it continues the annual "doc fix" Medicare accounting gimmickry, and does nothing to rein in the overall growth of Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare.
Relative to current policy, the fiscal cliff deal increases taxes by $620 billion over the next ten years, and reduces spending by $15 billion. That's a ratio of 41 dollars in tax increases for every dollar of spending cuts. Remember August 2011, when eight Republican presidential candidates swore that they would walk away from a deal that would raise taxes by ten cents for every dollar of spending cuts?
That math is ancient history. What Republicans just helped shepherd through Congress involves a ratio of tax increases to spending cuts that is 413 times less favorable than the deal that those eight candidates considered to be insufficiently conservative. And it makes a mockery of President Obama's oft-repeated claim to desire an approach to deficit reduction that is "balanced" between tax increases and spending cuts.
The deal increases the progressivity of our tax code, by increasing the share of the federal tax burden that will be paid by higher earners. But the United States already has the most progressive tax code in the OECD. Making the tax code even more progressive means that the broad swath of American voters will continue to be insulated from the cost of higher government spending, reducing the political appeal of future spending cuts.
The debt ceiling does not provide Republicans with 'leverage'
On the Sunday show circuit, GOP politicians like Sens. Bob Corker (Tenn.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) have been arguing that it's okay for Republicans to capitulate on the fiscal cliff, because they'll have "leverage" during the next set of fiscal negotiations, because the next round will involve raising the federal debt ceiling.
If Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling, the United States will be forced to default on some of its outstanding debt. Such an outcome would wreak havoc on financial markets, because U.S. treasury bonds play a critical, and very large, role in the global financial system. The stock market would crash. Interest rates on federal debt would skyrocket. The resultant economic chaos would make the fiscal cliff look like child's play. And yet, we are to believe that a Republican party that was afraid of going over the fiscal cliff is totally fine with defaulting on the national debt?
The Republican calculation appears to be that President Obama will get equally blamed for a debt default. But this seems unlikely. After all, it's Republicans, not Democrats, who are arguing that the debt limit gives them some sort of "leverage." It would have been unfair to blame Republicans if we had gone over the fiscal cliff; after all, Democrats are the ones who have opposed the Bush tax cuts all along. But in the case of the debt ceiling, if Republicans think they will escape blame for a default, they are delusional.
Ezra Klein is one of the few people who has figured this out. "Republicans make a big show of being unreasonable," he writes, "but they're not nearly as crazy as the tea party would have you believe. In the end, they weren't even willing to go over the fiscal cliff. The debt ceiling would do far more damage to the economy than the fiscal cliff, and Republicans would receive far more of the blame…No one thinks that the White House wants to breach the debt ceiling."
In 1996, when President Clinton vetoed a set of fiscal reforms from the Newt Gingrich-led Republican Congress, the resultant government shutdown forced Republicans into a free-spending crouch for the remainder of their time in the majority. A debt default would be far more damaging to the economy than that government shutdown was, and would have more far-reaching political consequences.
They say that there's no point in taking a hostage if you're not willing to shoot the hostage. Hence, it is Republicans who will almost certainly capitulate in the 2013 debt-ceiling showdown. They'll either do it to avoid default, or, even worse, they'll do it after a default in which they are blamed for the turbulence that follows.
The GOP needs to reboot its fiscal strategy
For Republicans, the only way to avoid certain doom is to come up with an entirely new fiscal strategy. The latest word from House Speaker John Boehner's office is encouraging in this regard. An aide to the Speaker told The Hill that Boehner will no longer negotiate with the President on fiscal deals. Instead, "he is recommitting himself and the House to what we've done, which is working through regular order and letting the House work its will."
This is a good start. The best way for Republicans to show that they are governing responsibly is by passing legislation in the House of Representatives, which they control, that reforms entitlements and reduces spending. In 2011, Boehner articulated a useful principle for future deficit reduction: that he would vote to raise the debt ceiling by only as much as any accompanying legislation reduced the deficit over a ten-year period.
In 2013, Boehner can use this principle to pass legislation that raises the debt ceiling in exchange for pragmatic entitlement reform, such as raising the Medicare retirement age and applying the chained-CPI inflation index to Social Security benefits. Instead of negotiating with President Obama, however, Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.) should negotiate with centrist Senate Democrats and Vice-President Joe Biden, who has shown an impressive ability to get things done.
Only then—when a debt-ceiling bill gets through Congress—will Republicans have leverage with President Obama. It's inconceivable that Obama would veto a bill that would prevent the government from defaulting on its debt. So Republicans had better start schmoozing with centrist Senate Democrats. Without them, one way or another, it will again be Republicans who fold in the fiscal fights of 2013.

UPDATE: On Twitter, Ramesh Ponnuru thinks my argument that Republicans capitulated "is a bit rich," because the deal they struck keeps taxes at a much lower level than they would have been if we had gone over the fiscal cliff like I'd advocated.
He also believes that it is inappropriate to use the 41-to-1 tax hike to spending cut ratio I cited above, because it uses current policy as a baseline for the taxes, but current law as a baseline for the spending.

It seems to be beautiful but badly neglected. It looked to me that it was being used then as a shelter for the street kids especially its main fence was broken and anyone can get inside easily.
As I was alone in both times , I could not go around the villa to see if I can get inside it. The Staircase was badly damaged as you can see.
I was planning to write about it but I could not with all the jazz taking place in Egypt since last November 2012. Last Friday the beautiful villa caught fire during the clashes that erupt from time to time for no reason between protesters and security forces. The fire was put off and parts of the villa were damaged but the villa itself was not damaged.
I did not know how the villa looked from inside and it seems that the fire was good opportunity to know more its history and its amazing interior. Thanks to Cairo Observer , we knew how much damage the 19the century villa is suffering and how beautiful it is from inside.
The little chapel is beautiful.
Little history background about Villa Casdgali
It was built late 19th century by Austrian Edward Matasek "who designed many of the 19th and early 20th centuries landmarks in Cairo" for the Levantine family called "Emanuel Casdagli" that lived in Egypt during that time. Needless to say that during then Garden City was the crème de la crème society most exclusive neighborhood with all the embassies and Royal palace there. You can read more about the history of the villa in Egy.com by Samir Rafaat.
The villa turned in to a school after the nationalization like many other villas and palaces and was named after Ali Abdel Latif of Sudan. The idea is good and bad at the same time. You educate generations but at the same you kill some time fantastic architecture landmarks like Villa Casdagli. Despite it is officially recognized as heritage site since 2006 and that United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American Research Centre in Cairo (ARCE), developed a comprehensive restoration project for the building in 2008 , there are no restoration works at all in the sit. As you can in the photos. It is a miracle that it still exists.
It is worth to mention that in 2010 Al Abdel Latif school was relocated so the buildings now are empty.
The villa is looted and partially destroyed as you can see. There is no protection for it at all despite a state owned building officially.
Anyhow I wish and pray that Villa Casdagli turns in to some sort of Cultural center and a library in Downtown Cairo instead of turning it in to some sort of governmental institute.
In the end I will quote the amazing Cairo Observer FB Page when it said : Regarding the now burned/damaged Villa Casdagli: rebuilding is always possible, what is needed is a political will to rebuild.
I think this also applies to everything in this country too besides Villa Casdagli.
By the way You must bookmark : The Cairo Observer blog and Facebook Page. You must follow them if you want to know more about our modern architecture in Cairo and in Egypt.

CRESTVIEW � Whether all Okaloosa County elementary schools should have school resource officers is a matter between the school board and sheriff, County Commissioner Nathan Boyles said.
CRESTVIEW � Whether all Okaloosa County elementary schools should have school resource officers is a matter between the school board and sheriff, County Commissioner Nathan Boyles said.
Since Sheriff Larry Ashley ordered 26 sheriff�s deputies be shifted from regular duties to elementary schools following the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, residents have been vocal about how to deal with gun violence.
Thursday, during a Friends of the Library meeting, Harry Tipton of Crestview said he thought the matter was being blown out of proportion.
"A lot of this is overkill and hype because of the excessive publicity," he said. "We don't really need a resource officer at every school."
Boyles, the library�s guest speaker, said the issue rests between the school board and sheriff. Commissioners decide on the sheriff's office budget and Ashley decides on the best uses for that budget, he said.
Still, Boyles said, he favors the decision to have an officer in elementary schools.
"I went to Baker School and I remember both of the resource officers that we had in a positive way," he said. "I think it's a way to expose our children to the positive side of the law."
Boyles stated that he supports the Second Amendment and that he and his wife have gun permits.
RESTORE Act funds
The county commission will establish an advisory committee to help decide how to spend BP�s RESTORE Act fund from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Individuals with expertise in education, environment and the economy would comprise the committee, which is subject to Florida open meetings laws.
"This (committee) would make recommendations to the board of county commissioners with regard of the expenditure of those funds," Boyles said.
County commissioners would have final say on how the funds would be spent, he said.
Friends of the Library members said they gained insight on Okaloosa County current events after Thursday�s meeting.
Several were impressed with what Boyles had to say.
"I think he is an very bright young man, very sharp," Tipton said.
Ruby Frabott of Crestview agreed.
"That was the first time I have heard him speak; I'm very impressed with the young man," Frabott said.
"It went well," Boyles said. "I got to speak with some of my constituents. They certainly had plenty of questions to ask."

St. Luke's girls basketball team's rally falls short against Sacred Heart
As hot as the Convent of the Sacred Heart basketball team was from the perimeter during the first half of Tuesday's game against St. Luke's School, that's how cold the visiting Storm were.
While Claire O'Neill and Kayla Souza put on a shooting clinic for the Tigers in the opening half, St. Luke's struggled to find its range, thanks in large part, to Sacred Heart's tenacious defense.
O'Neill scored 13 points, including three 3-pointers, Souza added 10 points and center Emily O'Sullivan had nine for Sacred Heart in its 50-39 FAA victory over St. Luke's.
The Tigers (9-4, 4-1 FAA), who received seven points and heady play from point guard Colleen O'Neill and eight points off the bench from center Shelby Holland, snapped a two-game losing skid.
"We knew this was a very important game, especially coming off two tough losses," said Souza, a senior shooting guard. "We came into this game with our goals being to execute our plays and play good defense right from the start."
Using an impressive 25-5 run over 10-minute span, the Tigers seized a 25-7 lead and never looked back. Claire O'Neill, a sophomore shooting guard, helped sparked the spurt, making two 3-pointers for the defending FAA champion Tigers.
"Today, we came out firing and were really pumped up," O'Neill said. "In the huddle before the game, I always say `play like champions,' and everything clicked out there for us. We need to come out firing like we did today, every game."
Forward Sydney Lowery made the game's first basket in transition, but the Storm (3-7, 2-6 FAA) managed just three points the next 10 minutes. Applying a full court press, the Tigers made it difficult for the visitors to get into rhythm offensively.
"Our defense is a key part to our game," said CSH junior forward Bridget Scaturro, who got her hands in the passing lane and deflected numerous passes throughout. "Strong defense leads to a great offense, so if we're loose on defense we don't have the confidence to execute on offense. Defense is the foundation for everything else."
O'Sullivan scored on a putback, Claire O'Neill swished a pair of 3-pointers from the right side, Colleen O'Neill converted a layup and Souza hit a shot from beyond the arc, putting the Storm in a 16-5 hole midway through the opening half. The home team entered halftime with a commanding 32-14 advantage.
"When our shooters are doing well and hitting shots it opens the rest of the court," said junior Colleen O'Neill, Claire's sister. "We wanted to start off the game with high intensity, which is what we've been lacking the past couple of games."
O'Sullivan made back-to-back baskets in the low post to start the second half for Sacred Heart, which executed well against St. Luke's man-to-man. Tigers third-year coach Sean Green, who substituted freely in the second half, is beginning to see his squad round into form.
"Initially, we looked really good today," Green said. "We want to repeat as league champions, but we have to get that hunger that we had last year. Hopefully, we are on an upward trend and hopefully, we're starting to pull it together."
O'Sullivan grabbed eight rebounds, while Claire O'Neill had five for the victors. St. Luke's received a game-high 16 points from Sydney Lowery.
"I'm very happy with how we played in the second half," Storm coach Jennifer Pokorney said. "We executed our offense, which we didn't do in the first half. We were a bit more patient and let things open up. I'm still waiting for that breakout game, where everything comes together for us."
Up next for Sacred Heart is a key FAA matchup against host Rye Country Day School on Thursday.
"This is a big win that we really needed, now we're very excited for Thursday against Rye Country Day and we're looking forward to challenging King next week too," Souza said.

Re: How does Incest fit into our society?
I think atheist expect perfection in the west while nobody is arguing perfection.None of us are perfect and sinnless but to ignore what atheists have done when they are in power while nitpicking the west is not rational,logical or smart and I don't see how so many of you were duped by atheists of todays talking points.It does not phase me one-bit because it is just a biased and brain dead opinion.
If I was an atheist?I would know it is BS and there are a a lot of atheists that do.Most atheists in the world do not promote atheism and they live there life like the rest of us do,they just don't believe in a God.I know the new atheist movement doesn't want to admit it,but its true.

But you are an atheist. You reject all other god claims and stories other than your own. You try to claim that we borrow from god to judge what is right or wrong is ridiculous on an enormous scale. I'd be more than willing to wager you didn't watch any of the videos Inferno posted.
The only thing that truly separates people is the standard of education, and how much they are willing to discover about the world as a whole. Some people go a step further and try to expand the knowledge of humanity by looking up at the stars and trying to figure out every question that comes to their minds. To think that all of this information was handed down to us thousands of years ago is a bold and silly notion, and that can and has been proven.
Way to derail another thread.
Back on topic.
When it comes to the dangers of inbreeding, the majority if not all come from physical defects due to the lack of genetic diversity between the parents. Those generally happen within several generations of continual inbreeding, not from a single instance (although you increase the chance of congenital diseases or issues if they are prevalent already ie: heart disease). Generally the defects are small and start to add up over time.
There are lot's of examples to look at in the animal kingdom (cheetahs come to mind) and the Royal families trying to keep the bloodlines pure in the past.
As for it's role in society, it doesn't really have much to say. If you look it up on the internet, you will find fantasy sites and or even forums that discuss it. It's out there and no one is condemning it, or outlawing the mention of it, so who is it harming. - regarding the consensual act and or fantasy.
What does religion have to say about it? As far as I know, the old testament in it's amazing list of 600+ laws it says who should not sleep with who but doesn't say why? So is it wrong because god says so? Bullshit. We know due to science why it should not be a goal to procreate with your own family, not god's decrees.
Is it a moral issue? What the fuck religion and god have to do with morals?
So your you ACB, start bringing something to the table or maybe admit you are not correct. So far all you've done is regurgitate the same thing over and over again all the while showing how little you know about what you try to chime in on.

Actually, atheists have the basis to go well beyond such digital concepts as right and wrong. You, it seems, have not. That's one of the problems with mistaking rules for morality.
Here's a thought for you, though. If your basis for morality doesn't exist, then you have no basis for morality. The atheist, on the other hand, actually understands what morality is, while you do not.
Of course, you can defeat this line simply by telling us what morality is. You'll forgive me, I hope, if I allow respiration to continue operating within normal parameters in the interim.
But they borrow from God and the bible in order to do it.
Yes, except no. You really think that god or the bible is the source of the rules therein? Somebody once pointed out that it would have been difficult for the Israelites to actually make it to Sinai without some conception of what it took to be a socially cohesive society (setting aside the fact that the Exodus never happened, of course). Such a large group of people couldn't have survived the journey without some moral framework. Since the Hokey Blurble itself has these people existing prior to their being given the holy paving slabs, not to mention having come from a society that also had moral strictures, despite not even being adherents of your preposterous cosmic curtain-twitcher.
But you cannot borrow from a God you don't believe in
Good job I don't then.
but every time they do they prove Romans true where it tells us God wrote his laws on every person's hearts and this is where atheists decide what is right or wrong.
Ah, so naïve. Right? Wrong? You really think it's that simple? Again, that's what happens when you mistake rules for morality.

Speaking of logical fallacies, this one's known as 'begging the question'. The particular question being begged resides in your conception of 'sin'. I can't sin if your magic man doesn't exist. Guess what?
You should also go and find out what a logical fallacy actually is, because you haven't the foggiest. A logical fallacy is an error in reasoning. Even were it true that we borrowed from the rules in the bible (we don't), that wouldn't constitute a logical fallacy, it would merely constitute a recognition that a particular rule was a good thing.
Me, I'm beyond such naïve bollocks as 'rules', preferring to reason the best course of action in a given situation, because guess what? What consti8tutes the right course of action will change dependent on the circumstances.
Just as an example, and to see if you're actually capable of learning anything (colour me skeptical on this point), do you think it's always wrong to lie?

Christianity did no such thing, people did that. If you really do your research, you'll find that many of the justifications used to fight the abolition were taken directly from your book of drivel. If your religion were actually against slavery, we wouldn't find mandated slavery in your book of fatuous nonsense, and we certainly wouldn't find strictures on the treatment of slaves in your laws. That we find such mandates and strictures exposes your argument for the ignorant fucking arse-gravy it is.
Also stop whitewashing the 20th century where atheist rulers slaughtered far more and terrorized for more human lives and than all Christian wars combined and Christian societies.
Really? Have you got some numbers? I'd be interested to see if you actually understand the material. I'm betting you don't, because the situation is far more nuanced than your tiny mind appears capable of. That sounds an awful lot like the usual regurgitated bollocks we hear from apologists who don't have a complete grasp of modern history. I bet, for example, that you're including the holocaust in your figures, which would definitely be an error.
Either way, none of what you're talking about is a consequence of atheism, but usually stems from something else, such as in the case of Stalin, whose depredations were about ensuring his complete command, and arose from doctrinal imperatives not unlike those we find in your silly mythology. I've said often in the past that it isn't religion in and of itself that's the problem, it's blind adherence to doctrinal imperatives, of which religion is merely a subset, albeit the noisiest and most ubiquitous.
When atheists are in power a slaughterhouse is what you get.
Shall we ask the people of Cuba if they agree with you?
You don't have freedom and you are indoctrinated and held back.
Hahahahaha! This from the one promulgating religion. Do y7ou think you're this stupid because your religion freed you?
You cannot draw from God to judge Christians like you are doing,because you have nothing to draw from to know what is right or wrong.
Actually, we can judge god and his followers by their own standards, not least in that bit about not killing and then committing genocide on several nations.
You cannot borrow morality from God you don't believe in.
This isn't actually true, but it's also entirely beside the point, because god hasn't got any morality (setting aside the fact that this absurd entity doesn't actually exist). You're still mistaking rules for morality. They aren't.
Christians have a right to stand up for morality though and to stand against sin.
Circular. You really need to learn some stuff about logic.
Christians care for gay people far more than the people agging them on do and homosexuality leads to death of a society even if you don't think its wrong.
And, of course, you can provide evidence supporting this contention, can't you?
Didn't think so.
Gay people have short life spans because of diseases and yet people like you don't seem to care.
Again, evidence? Got any?

abelcainsbrother wrote:Look at everybody whitewashing what atheists do and making excuses,they want to explain away what atheist leaders have done
Not at all. Those people did what they did. The point is that their atheism is irrelevant to that.
yet condemn Christian societies that gave them the freedom to choose their path in life.It seems atheists want the freedoms Christianity gave them but not the God that gave them freedom in the west.
Several things wrong here. I don't condemn christian societies, I condemn christianity, along with all other really shitty ideas. I have no problem with christians. I know some delightful christians (and some pretty awful atheists). However, when we compare them side by side, atheism and christianity, we see some interesting things. The first to note is that all the shitty stuff, such as slavery, genocide, etc, is right there in the holy book. There is a logical route between the religion itself and the behaviours which we would condemn,. When we look at atheism, there is no doctrine, and no logical route between atheism and the behaviour, so we have to look elsewhere for the source, because clearly, atheism isn't it. That's what you're seeing here and describing as 'whitewashing'. Yes, some people have behaved badly. Their justifications for their behaviours come from various sources, such as political ideologies, religious texts, economic models, etc.
Coming back for a moment to logical fallacies, allow me to educate you, because you're committing a massive one here, namely post hoc ergo propter hoc (after, therefore because of). You're drawing a line between somebody being an atheist and their behaviour. Inn the case of, for example, Stalin, yes, he was an atheist. He was also an adherent to Marxist ideology (or at least a bastardised version thereof of his own devising). Now, not all atheists are Marxists (or Stalinists), so you can't say that Stalinism is a result of atheism, but we can say that the pogroms are a direct result of Stalinism. Therefore, your contention that atheism leads to genocide is fucked.
On the other hand, there are several instances of genocide in your idiotic book, condoned and actively encourage by your silly magic man, so we can draw a clear logical route between one and the other.
Looks like you're fucked.

Just a minor point on pogroms, they actually started before Stalin with the Tsarist regimes. So we could actually say they are tied to Christianity.

Either way I agree with your assessment. People just can't blankly assign blame to atheism for wanton murder, genocide etc during the 20th or any other century.

Re: How does Incest fit into our society?
Sexual relations between parents and children and between young siblings are very problematic. Power plays, levels of immaturity and general betrayals of trust arise and cause emotional harms. So taboos here are healthy.
Once siblings have matured they generally carry those taboos into adulthood which is probably a good thing as it avoids inbreeding over time.
I don't think sexual relations between adult siblings is immoral however, just generally unlikely and not so good if children get created.

I asked my tutor about this in uni.
And he said basically the same.
No, not inherently bad, but so fraught with danger, power imbalances and stuff as to be pretty close.
How do you check to make sure a parent is not exerting some form of coercion on a child to enter into a sexual relationship?
Ditto siblings.
On the one hand, whatever consenting adults want to do is fine by me.
But on the other hand, grooming/power dynamics/emotional drama etc.

As reported on USSoccer.com:
May 30, 2012 - Cal South ODP alumni Landon Donovan and Alex Morgan sparked their respective national teams to huge victories over Scotland and China over the long Memorial Day weekend.
Landon Donovan Hat Trick Leads U.S. Men's National Team to 5-1 Victory Against Scotland in Jacksonville
• Landon Donovan Nets Third Career Hat Trick; Also Adds an Assist; Sets Record with 125th Career Start
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (May 26, 2012) - U.S. Men's National Team forward Landon Donovan scored three goals and set a new record for career starts as the USA defeated Scotland 5-1 in front of 44,438 at EverBank Field. The boisterous crowd set a record for attendance at a U.S. MNT friendly in the southeast region.
Donovan netted his third career hat trick while collecting yet another National Team record, making his 125th career start and surpassing the previous record of 124 held by Jeff Agoos. Donovan also added an assist, while Jermaine Jones had a goal and two assists and Michael Bradley delivered a spectacular goal from 25 yards out and collected an assist of his own on Donovan's third goal.
The U.S. is in the midst of a five-game stretch in 18 days in what head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has approached as a 'five-game' tournament with 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying on the horizon. The U.S. next faces five-time FIFA World Cup champion Brazil on Wed., May 30 at 8 p.m. ET at FedExField in Landover, Md. The match will be televised live on ESPN2, ESPN3 and TeleFutura, and fans can follow the match live on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and via Twitter @ussoccer.
The USA has won five straight matches dating back to last year's 3-2 victory against Slovenia on Nov. 15 in Ljubljana, and has an unblemished 4-0-0 record in 2012. The 1998 squad is the only other team in U.S. history to open the year with four wins in its first four games, starting 4-0-0 with victories against Sweden, Cuba, Costa Rica and Brazil.

U.S. Women's National Team Defeats China 4-1 in Front of Sold-Out Crowd of 18,573 at PPL Park in Chester, PA.
• U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage Names 2012 Olympic Team Before the Match
CHESTER, PA. (May 27, 2012) - The U.S. Women's National Team fell behind early but roared back to score four unanswered goals to defeat China 4-1 in the second-to-last domestic match before the team leaves for the 2012 Olympics. A sell-out crowd of 18,573 boisterous fans filled PPL Park to the brims as the Americans put on an entertaining show, scoring twice in each half. Forward Alex Morgan scored two goals, sandwiched around a China own goal, while forward Abby Wambach capped the night with a spectacular finish seven minutes from the end of the game.
"I'm very happy scoring goals but the happiest thing for us was we changed the game," said U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage. "We struggled a bit in the first half but we turned it around in the second half and the crowd was great. You look at the crowd like this and it makes a difference. In the Olympics we'll have big crowds and in the World Cup we had big crowds. You have to deal with that feeling and you should take advantage of it. Playing in front of this crowd is almost like having a 12th player and it's fantastic."
The U.S. team came out a bit jittery in the opening stages of the game and in just the fourth minute gave up a dangerous chance as Han Peng got loose in the left side of the penalty box. U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo chose to hold her ground, and from a sharp angle, Peng scraped her shot off the crossbar. The USA then started to exert its game on the Chinese with Megan Rapinoe putting the ball through the legs of a Chinese defender on the left end line in the seventh minute, only to shoot into the side netting. In the 19th minute, a long ball into the Chinese penalty area was headed up in the air and it fell to Carli Lloyd in the middle of the box, but she struck her full volley high over the net.
Lloyd had an even better chance one minute later after Heather O'Reilly made a darting run down the right wing and cut back a pass to Morgan in the slot. She took a touch and fired from close range at Chinese goalkeeper Zhang Yue, who made the save but pushed the ball into the middle. Lloyd was perfectly postioned for the rebound and kept this shot low. It was surely headed into the net before the ball hit the leg of a fortunate Chinese defender and skidded wide left of the goal. China scored in the 22nd minute against the run of play after Lloyd was disposed by several pressuring defenders near the top of the box on the left side. The ball rolled to Lou Jiahui who drove her dribble at U.S. captain Christie Rampone before dishing into the left side of the penalty area to Zhang Rui. The Chinese attacker was able to dribble uncontested almost all the way to the near post before slotting home low into the right corner.
It took the USA only a dozen minutes to equalize and it came off a turnover in the Chinese defensive third. O'Reilly darted in to win a ball down the right wing and then accelerated into the penalty area before trying to find Morgan again in the slot. A defender got a foot on the ball, but it was deflected right into the path of Morgan who clinically bent her left-footed shot into the lower left corner from 14 yards out. Just two minutes later the USA took the lead as Rapinoe served a free kick from the left wing into a dangerous spot at the far post. The ball was headed up into the air by a Chinese defender and it fell to Shannon Boxx, who sent her header back into the pack of players inside the six yard box. Wambach then got a head on it to nod the ball towards the net where it bounced in front of defender Zhou Gaoping, who found her body in poor position to clear. She tried to head the ball away, but instead sent it past her own goalkeeper and trickling into the lower right corner.

Southampton can finally look to add Japan international Tadanari Lee to their squad, after being successful in their initially refused work permit hearing today.
The 26-year-old who has won 9 caps for the Samurai Blue is a relatively unknown quantity to the English persuasion but did score the winning goal in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup Final against Australia.
Lee can now look forward to getting into Nigel Adkins' impressive Saints side, who still remain top of the tree in the Npower Championship.
The striker who joins from Sanfrecce Hiroshima in his native homeland, had been training with his new teammates during the work permit application process.
Now it is anticipated that he will fly back to the South Coast to seal the deal, which represents Southampton's first movement in the current transfer window.
Lee will be the first ever player from Japan to represent the Saints but along with Hidetoshi Nakata, Junichi Inamoto, Kazayuki Toda and more recently Ryo Miyaichi before him, he becomes the latest Japanese import to grace the English leagues.

|[jira] Created: (LUCENE-2903) Improvement of PForDelta Codec
|Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:29:29 GMT
Improvement of PForDelta Codec ------------------------------ Key: LUCENE-2903 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2903 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: hao yan There are 3 versions of PForDelta implementations in the Bulk Branch: FrameOfRef, PatchedFrameOfRef, and PatchedFrameOfRef2. The FrameOfRef is a very basic one which is essentially a binary encoding (may result in huge index size). The PatchedFrameOfRef is the implmentation based on the original version of PForDelta in the literatures. The PatchedFrameOfRef2 is my previous implementation which are improved this time. (The Codec name is changed to NewPForDelta.). In particular, the changes are: 1. I fixed the bug of my previous version (in Lucene-1410.patch), where the old PForDelta does not support very large exceptions (since the Simple16 does not support very large numbers). Now this has been fixed in the new LCPForDelta. 2. I changed the PForDeltaFixedIntBlockCodec. Now it is faster than the other two PForDelta implementation in the bulk branch (FrameOfRef and PatchedFrameOfRef). The codec's name is "NewPForDelta", as you can see in the CodecProvider and PForDeltaFixedIntBlockCodec. 3. The performance test results are: 1) My "NewPForDelta" codec is faster then FrameOfRef and PatchedFrameOfRef for almost all kinds of queries, slightly worse then BulkVInt. 2) My "NewPForDelta" codec can result in the smallest index size among all 4 methods, including FrameOfRef, PatchedFrameOfRef, and BulkVInt, and itself) 3) All performance test results are achieved by running with "-server" instead of "-client" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

First think about what you need your coffee table to do for you, or what your room is missing, then pick a table that provides the solution. Before buying a table, mark the footprint with painter's tape so you can see the scale of the piece in the room and how that affects the surrounding furniture. If you have a very large room and a large coffee table, you can break up the scale of the table by flanking it with pairs of ottomans or benches, as in this example.

Meet the Trump CabinetStart
Few presidential transitions have been as fraught with uncertainty as the one associated with the incoming Trump Administration. While candidate Donald Trump pledged to repeal the Affordable Care Act, deport millions of undocumented immigrants, build a wall across the Southwest border with Mexico, renegotiate trade deals and redefine international partnerships, it's not at all clear what President Trump may actually do once he's in office. To understand how the man who promised to "fire stupid people" and shake up Washington might actually govern, its useful to consider the men and women he has tapped for his Cabinet. While the Senate still must confirm Trump's picks, they offer insight into how he may manage the federal bureaucracy.
- State: Rex Tillerson
- Defense: James Mattis
- Central Intelligence Agency: Mike Pompeo
- Justice: Jeff Sessions
- Treasury: Steven Mnuchin
- Homeland Security: John Kelly
- Commerce: Wilbur Ross
- Transportation: Elaine Chao
- Health and Human Services: Tom Price
- Labor: Andy Puzder
- Housing and Urban Development: Ben Carson
- Education: Betsy DeVos
- Environmental Protection Agency: Scott Pruitt
- Energy: Rick Perry
- Interior: Ryan Zinke
- Small Business Administration: Linda McMahon
State: Rex Tillerson
Rex Tillerson, Donald Trump's choice to become the nation's top diplomat, is something of a Rorschach test for how people view the incoming Trump administration: An unconventional, bold choice for a government weighed down by conventional, stale thinking; or a dangerous gamble at a risky time. In the eyes of his supporters, the Exxon Mobile chairman and CEO is among the most accomplished, well-connected business leaders and deal makers in the world, but to critics, he is alarmingly close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and a dubious choice to uphold the tenets of American democracy abroad.
As the Wall Street Journal reported:
In many ways, Mr. Tillerson's record since becoming chief executive in 2006 makes him the international energy equivalent of President-elect Donald Trump's claim to fame in real estate: a shrewd, opportunistic businessman who amassed daring investments and valuable assets around the world.
The New York Times predicted bruising confirmation hearings for Tillerson over Exxon Mobil's operations: "The company has billions of dollars in oil contracts that can go forward only if the United States lifts sanctions against Russia, and Mr. Tillerson's stake in Russia's energy industry could create a very blurry line between his interests as an oilman and his role as America's leading diplomat.
"Mr. Tillerson has been publicly skeptical about the sanctions, which have halted some of Exxon Mobil's biggest projects in Russia, including an agreement with the state oil company to explore and pump in Siberia that could be worth tens of billions of dollars," the paper noted.
Said Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., "It is disturbing that, coming on the heels of bombshell reports about Russian meddling in our election, President-elect Trump has chosen as our top diplomat an individual with close business ties to the top levels of the Russian government."
Defense: James Mattis
Retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis is that rare official with a reputation for both thoughtfulness and bluntness. The career military officer led a Marine division during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and most recently led U.S. Central Command before he retired in 2013 over concerns about the Obama administration's Middle East policy, particularly with regard to Iran. As Trump recently described him, Mattis is "the closest thing we have to Gen. George Patton of our time." Mattis is widely respected on Capitol Hill and beloved by many of the troops he led in battle.
In an op-ed on Defense One, Derek Chollet, former assistant Defense secretary for international security affairs, said Mattis had many admirers within the Obama administration despite the general's disaffection with Obama's approach:
With Mattis, the Pentagon will be led by an astute, respected, battle-hardened leader – one who will bring intense focus on the fights the U.S. is already waging (especially a piece of real estate he knows so well, Iraq and Syria), prepare for the fights that it might get in, work hard to strengthen our most important military partnerships around the world, and keep morale high inside a jittery Pentagon.
Mattis will need an exemption from a law requiring the Defense secretary to be out of uniform for at least seven years.
Central Intelligence Agency: Mike Pompeo
When Trump announced the Republican lawmaker from Kansas was his pick to lead the CIA, he noted that Pompeo, a former Army tank commander, graduated first in his class at West Point and is a graduate of Harvard Law School, where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review: "He will be a brilliant and unrelenting leader for our intelligence community to ensure the safety of Americans and our allies."
Those impressive credentials won't reassure many outside conservative circles, however. The New York Times noted that Pompeo "would become one of the most overtly partisan figures to take over the C.I.A. — a spy agency that, at least publicly, is supposed to operate above politics and avoid a direct role in policy making."
As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, Pompeo fought efforts to curb some of the most controversial counterterrorism programs and has been a relentless critic of Hillary Clinton, whom he accused of orchestrating a massive coverup in the aftermath of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Behghazi, Libya, when she was secretary of State.
Justice: Jeff Sessions
Trump's announcement that he would nominate Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions to the position of Attorney General drew sharp criticism from civil rights advocates and proponents of immigration reform, something the conservative Republican has steadfastly rejected.
The New York Times editorial board called it an "insult to Justice," reminding readers that 30 years ago, the Republican-controlled Senate rejected Sessions for a federal judgeship when then-President Ronald Reagan nominated him for the job after former colleagues testified about racially-charged comments Sessions had made as a U.S. Attorney. Not everyone shared that view. George J. Terwilliger III, deputy attorney general under President George H.W. Bush, told the Washington Post, "I can say unequivocally there's not a racist bone in the guy's body," he said.
As noted in a report by Politico, Sessions would have considerable latitude to reshape the Justice Department—and the presidency as well:
The AG has wide discretion to shift American policy in huge ways simply by how he prioritizes its limited resources—which cases the office chooses to prosecute and which ones it lets go. It runs dozens of agencies, including the powerful FBI, DEA, and the immigration courts. And it also, insiders say, exerts huge influence on the White House's own sense of its power.
Treasury: Steven Mnuchin
The former hedge fund manager, Goldman Sachs alum and Hollywood film producer Steven Mnuchin would seem an unusual pick for Treasury secretary, given his lack of public policy experience. But when Trump announced his plan to tap Mnuchin for the job, he said, "His expertise and pro-growth ideas make him the ideal candidate to serve as Secretary of the Treasury. He purchased IndyMac Bank for $1.6 billion and ran it very professionally, selling it for $3.4 billion plus a return of capital. That's the kind of people I want in my administration representing our country."
According to The New York Times:
Mr. Mnuchin is known as a smart, hard-working, talented executive. Henry M. Paulson Jr., the former Treasury secretary who was critical of Mr. Trump during the campaign, was very complimentary of Mr. Mnuchin's performance at Goldman Sachs.
The man who produced Avatar--the highest grossing film in history--the X-Men franchise and dozens of other highly successful films, spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs, where he oversaw trading in government securities, mortgages, money markets, and municipal bonds and rose to become the company's Chief Information Officer, according to the Trump transition office.
Since 2004, Mnuchin founded Dune Capital Management, which specializes in public equity markets, real estate and the entertainment industry. He also founded OneWest Bank Group LLC in 2009, the transition office noted.
Homeland Security: John Kelly
Trump tapped another retired Marine to lead Homeland Security: Gen. John Kelly. Like retired Gen. James Mattis, Trump's pick for Defense, Kelly has a reputation for blunt talk. As commander of U.S. Southern Command, Kelly was an outspoken critic of the Obama administration's efforts to control the flow of people and drugs across the border with Mexico, telling Defense One that Latin America's broken societies and American's insatiable appetite for drugs posed "existential" threats to national security.
"Gen. John Kelly's decades of military service and deep commitment to fighting the threat of terrorism inside our borders makes him the ideal choice to serve as our Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security," Trump said in a statement. "He is the right person to spearhead the urgent mission of stopping illegal immigration and securing our borders, streamlining TSA and improving coordination between our intelligence and law enforcement agencies."
Commerce: Wilbur Ross
Private equity billionaire Wilbur Ross made a career out of turning around failing companies. Donald Trump hopes he'll draw on some of that expertise to turn around faltering American businesses. Like his would-be boss, the 79-year-old Ross, according to Forbes, "has long railed against "bad trade deals" and the decline of manufacturing jobs in America."
Unlike some other cabinet picks, Ross has a longstanding relationship with Trump, Forbes noted:
After getting an MBA from Harvard, he spent two decades heading Rothschild Inc's bankruptcy advisory business, where he represented investors in Trump's failing Taj Mahal casino in the early 1990s. Ross and Carl Icahn convinced bondholders to strike a deal with Trump, who some investors wanted to push out, which allowed Trump to retain control of the property.
Transportation: Elaine Chao
Of all Trump's cabinet picks, Elaine Chao knows better than most what she's getting into. A veteran of both Bush administrations, she served as deputy secretary of Transportation under George H.W. Bush and secretary of Labor under George W. Bush.
Chao's experience at Transportation prior to becoming deputy secretary included serving as deputy administrator of the Maritime Administration and chairwoman of the Federal Maritime Commission. She also served as director of the Peace Corps from 1991 to 1992, during a period of expansion into Eastern Europe and newly independent states following the collapse of the former Soviet Union.
In a statement issued by the Trump transition office, Chao said, "The President-elect has outlined a clear vision to transform our country's infrastructure, accelerate economic growth and productivity, and create good paying jobs across the country." An immigrant from Taiwan at the age of 8, Chao notes in her bio that the experience "motivated her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that all people have the opportunity to build better lives."
The Hudson Institute distinguished fellow is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Health and Human Services: Tom Price
Rep. Tom Price, an orthopedic surgeon, would bring a unique combination of experience and skills to the job of leading the Health and Human Services Department, especially for a president determined to make good on a promise to repeal and replace President Obama's signature domestic accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act.
As chairman of the House Budget Committee, the Georgia Republican has drafted a plan to replace Obamacare with one that would reduce the government's role along with some patient protections, and give doctor's more leeway in treating patients. The New York Times reported that Price's Empowering Patients First plan "would take health care in a fundamentally different direction, away from mandated coverage and care and toward a free-market approach, with fewer consumer protections and more freedoms for doctors."
According to a report in MarketWatch:
Based on his background as a surgeon and his regulatory record, there's speculation that Price would support physician-friendly policies.This could potentially stymie the current administration's push of value-based health care, which aims to reimburse various health-care-system players — including doctors — based on how effectively they or their products work, rather than how much of their products or services are used.
Labor: Andy Puzder
Andy Puzder, the chief executive of CKE Restaurant Holdings, which owns the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's chains, generated a lot of press when he lauded the virtues of automation during an interview with Business Insider in March (headline: "Fast-food CEO says he's investing in machines because the government is making it difficult to afford employees"). Now that Donald Trump has tapped him to lead the Labor Department, observers wonder what's in store from the robot-admiring outspoken opponent of minimum wage increases.
Following the uproar over his remarks to Business Insider, the Los Angeles Times did an extended interview with Puzder to explore the issue of automation on the workforce, the minimum wage and other issues affecting the low-income workers: "Puzder's views are unapologetically conservative. But they also reflect the worldview of a veteran business executive whose workforce is heavily tilted toward the low-income end of the employment scale."
Puzder believes that government mandates impose costs that "make automation a more viable option for business," the LA Times reported, and he's not opposed to minimum wage increases, but believes they must be balanced against other factors: "Are people going to want to hire entry-level employees for these very high minimums, which come with Obamacare, which come with mandatory sick leave, or other benefits which the government imposes on business for these individuals? Are you going to be able to keep minimum wage entry-level job positions open for individuals?"
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said, "Mr. Puzder's long track record inspires deep skepticism."
Housing and Urban Development: Ben Carson
Trump's decision to tap famed neurosurgeon and former rival Dr. Ben Carson to lead Housing and Urban Development left many observers scratching their heads. Carson had earlier indicated he didn't feel qualified to lead the Health and Human Services Department, which seemed more clearly aligned with his professional experience.
Trump apparently didn't see it that way: "Ben Carson has a brilliant mind and is passionate about strengthening communities and families within those communities. We have talked at length about my urban renewal agenda and our message of economic revival, very much including our inner cities."
Carson, who grew up poor in Detroit, raised by his mother who worked multiple jobs to support her children, earned his undergraduate degree from Yale before attending medical school at University of Michigan. He hasn't elaborated on what Trump's urban renew agenda entails. As noted in a story in CityLab, Carson wrote a 2015 editorial for the Washington Times in which he "describes the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule as 'social engineering' and compares it to the school-busing efforts associated with integration."
Steven Preston, who served as George W. Bush's HUD secretary, told MSNBC, "He's going to bring compassion and passion for the city . . . He's going to bring a searing intelligence and he's not going to be beholden to existing processes. He's going to be open to new ideas."
- Next:Environmental Protection Agency: Scott Pruitt Previous:Housing and Urban Development: Ben Carson
Education: Betsy DeVos
The billionaire charter school advocate and former Michigan Republican Party chairwoman Betsy DeVos is a long-time education activist. "Under her leadership we will reform the U.S. education system and break the bureaucracy that is holding our children back so that we can deliver world-class education and school choice to all families," President-elect Trump said in announcing his intention to nominate her for Education secretary.
The Washington Post reported: "Many pro-school-choice groups have praised the choice, saying DeVos will work hard to grow new programs that give parents more school choice. But public education advocates say that they fear she will help propel America's public education system toward destruction."
DeVos' work in Michigan has come under fire, Politico noted: "Despite two decades of charter-school growth, the state's overall academic progress has failed to keep pace with other states: Michigan ranks near the bottom for fourth- and eighth-grade math and fourth-grade reading on a nationally representative test, nicknamed the "Nation's Report Card." Notably, the state's charter schools scored worse on that test than their traditional public-school counterparts, according to an analysis of federal data.
Environmental Protection Agency: Scott Pruitt
Three days before President-elect Donald Trump announced he was tapping Scott Pruitt to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, the Oklahoma attorney general tweeted:
Pres. Obama has been eager to say if Congress is not acting, he will. This is far-reaching and unconstitutional. https://t.co/EQ8f6EHXBZ— Scott Pruitt (@ScottPruittOK) December 5, 2016
Rolling back what Pruitt considers EPA "overreach" will certainly be a priority.
In an editorial, the Wall Street Journal dubbed him "a lawyer for a lawless EPA," positing that "Mr. Pruitt's first job will be restoring respect for the Constitution and cooperative federalism in EPA rule-making. He knows how to do this because he led the legal charge by the states against EPA abuses, including the victory of a Supreme Court stay on the Clean Power Plan as it moves through the appellate courts."
Environmental groups and even some Republicans see it differently. According to the Sierra Club: "The selection suggests a remarkable and dangerous shift in the agency's direction given Pruitt's past collaborations with oil and gas companies and the lawsuits he has filed against major health and environmental policies in the past eight years, including lawsuits against the EPA itself."
Energy: Rick Perry
Trump's selection of former rival Rick Perry to lead the Energy Department signaled a potential shakeup at the department. Perry, during his first campaign for president, said he would eliminate the department altogether given the chance.
"As the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry created created a business climate that produced millions of new jobs and lower energy prices in his state, and he will bring that same approach to our entire country as Secretary of Energy," Trump said in a statement when announcing Perry's selection. "My administration is going to make sure we take advantage of our huge natural resource deposits to make America energy independent and create vast new wealth for our nation, and Rick Perry is going to do an amazing job as the leader of that process."
For his part, Perry said, "As the former governor of the nation's largest energy producing state, I know American energy is critical to our economy and our security. I look forward to engaging in a conversation about the development, stewardship and regulation of our energy resources, safeguarding our nuclear arsenal, and promoting an American energy policy that creates jobs and puts America first."
No word about eliminating the department—but then that could put him out of a job, assuming the Senate confirms the nomination.
Interior: Ryan Zinke
Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., was an early supporter of Donald Trump during the presidential campaign and openly sought a cabinet position. The former Navy SEAL campaigned on a platform of achieving energy independence and is a member of the House Natural Resources Committee, according to the Washington Post.
"A lifelong hunter and fisherman, the 55-year-old Zinke has defended public access to federal lands even though he frequently votes against environmentalists on issues ranging from coal extraction to oil and gas drilling. This summer, he quit his post as a member of the GOP platform-writing committee after the group included language that would have transferred federal land ownership to the states," the Post reported.
U.S. News and World Report said, "News of his selection was welcomed by Montana's Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and at least one conservation group, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. The president of the Missoula, Montana-based hunting group, Land Tawney, called Zinke a 'potential ally' in the effort to balance energy development with preservation."
- Start Over
Small Business Administration: Linda McMahon
Linda McMahon, the billionaire co-founder and former chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment, is "one of the country's top female executives advising businesses around the globe," Trump said when announcing his pick to lead the Small Business Administration.
McMahon and her husband launched the professional wrestling conglomerate, turning a small start-up into an international organization with more than 800 employees, Trump said. The relationship between Trump and the McMahons goes back decades, and the couple are the Trump Foundation's largest donors besides Trump.
The Washington Post noted that McMahon is also co-founder and chief executive of Women's Leadership LIVE, which supports women in business. She publicly criticized Trump for his demeaning comments about women during the campaign, the Post reported:
"Those [comments] were just over the top; they were deplorable, objectionable absolutely," McMahon said on Yahoo News. "He's not helping, certainly, to put women in the best light. Maybe he regrets them, maybe he doesn't. I realize he punches hard when he punches back, but that's just over the top. I wish that no candidate would make those comments."

Summary View help for Summary
This poll, fielded July 24-28, 2009, is a part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked whether they approved of the way Barack Obama was handling the presidency and issues such as foreign policy and health care. Opinions were solicited about the most important problem facing the country, whether the country was moving in the right direction, the condition of the national economy, and the Republican and Democratic parties. Respondents were asked about the federal government's stimulus package, including its effect on the creation of new jobs, the federal budget deficit, and the national and local economy. A series of questions addressed the health care system in the United States, whether respondents thought they would benefit from the health care legislation under consideration in Congress, the effects of this legislation on the federal budget deficit and the economy, and the likelihood that a health care reform bill would be signed into law by the end of the year. Views were sought on specific health care reform proposals, such as taxing employer-paid health insurance benefits, raising taxes on Americans with high incomes, and requiring health insurance companies to provide coverage regardless of pre-existing medical conditions. Respondents were also polled on whether they believed it was the federal government's responsibility to guarantee health insurance for all Americans and the possible effects of a government-created universal health care system on the quality of health care, health care costs, taxes, jobs, and the number of uninsured Americans. Information was collected on the financial situation of the respondent's household, whether they had health insurance coverage, the source of their insurance coverage, and the affordability of basic medical care under their health insurance plan. Additional topics addressed police treatment of minorities, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and whether women should be allowed to participate in military combat and serve in combat zones. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, education level, marital status, household income, employment status, political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration status and participation history, religious preference, the presence of adults between the ages of 18 and 29 in the household, whether respondents had a child under the age of 18 years, and whether they considered themselves to be a born-again Christian.
