Join the Big Climate Connection!
Dear Supporter
Join the Stop Climate Chaos 'Big Climate Connection' on 5 and 6 November and lobby your MP in your constituency.
As a leading member of Stop Climate Chaos, the RSPB is supporting The Big Climate Connection on 5 and 6 November – the next step in the growing movement to stop catastrophic climate changes.
This event, specific to your constituency, will see local people and groups concerned about climate change, join together and lobby their MPs.
In December 2009, over 50,000 people from across the UK marched in 'The Wave' ahead of the Copenhagen climate talks. Many of those people then 'Asked the Climate Question' to parliamentary candidates during the 2010 UK General Election. The Stop Climate Chaos movement is continuing to grow, and we need many more people from all walks of life to get involved and keep up the pressure.
With an historic new Coalition Government and over 200 new MPs in place, this is the perfect opportunity to influence your MP and tell them that climate issues matter to you.
Between 5 and 6 November we hope that RSPB members all over the UK will grab this opportunity and take part in The Big Climate Connection by meeting their MPs and it would be great if you could join them.
For more information and to find out how to get involved please visit our website.
Yours sincerely

Victim in officer-involved shooting identified
Milwaukee police shoot man after he approaches officers with a knife
Milwaukee police shot and killed a man they said was armed with a knife and threatening suicide.
Sgt. Mark Stanmeyer said officers were called to the area of 73rd Street and Mill Road at about 8:15 p.m. Wednesday by a person who said a relative was threatening to kill them.
Stanmeyer said officers found the man inside the home armed with a large kitchen knife.
Police said officers repeatedly told the man to drop the knife, but he instead advanced toward officers with the knife in hand.
Stanmeyer said when the man advanced, a 29-year-old officer fired his handgun.
The victim, identified as James Coleman, was treated on the scene by Milwaukee Fire Department personnel. He died of his injuries.
No officers were injured in the incident.
The officer involved is a three-year veteran with the Police Department.
Stanmeyer said the police department and the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office are investigating the incident, and the officer involved has been placed on administrative duty pending the completion of the investigation.

Complete Story
DTV Nightlight Bill Passes House, Heads To President
By: John Eggerton, Broadcasting & Cable
Broadcasters will get an extra 30 days past the Feb. 17, 2009 DTV transition date to air DTV education messages on their analog signals.
The House late Wednesday passed the DTV nightlight bill – officially the SAFER [Short-term Analog Flash and Emergency Readiness] Act – by unanimous consent, following the lead of the Senate which did the same thing last month. The bill now goes to the president, who is expected to sign it.
The house bill was introduced by Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) and the Senate version by Jay Rockefeller (D-WVA), slated to become the next chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.
Broadcasters who elect to broadcast the education messages will need to air them in both Spanish and English. They will also get any emergency weather or public safety information that airs on the digital signal.
""This legislation provides an important safety net as we work to ensure that no one gets left behind in the conversion," said Capps of the bill's passage.
The FCC is directed by Jan. 15 to come up with a plan to implement the voluntary program. A source says the FCC has been working on the plan in anticipation of the bill's passage.
Broadcasters pushed for the grace period, and FCC Chairman Kevin Martin has said he thought it was a good idea. However, he also suggested some broadcasters might want to make the switch a week or two early and thus have a grace period without having to change the law, which requires the cessation of full-power analog at 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 17, 2009.

Carnegie, I can see you
according to a study by the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Energy. It has concluded that the 13th-century Mongol leader's bloody advance, laying waste to vast swaths of territory and wiping out entire civilisations en route, may have scrubbed 700m tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere – roughly the quantity of carbon dioxide generated in a year through global petrol consumption – by allowing previously populated and cultivated land to return to carbon-absorbing forest. (via Why Genghis Khan was good for the planet | From the Guardian | The Guardian).
Genocides are good
For some 100 years, the Carnegie Endowment /Institutions has been providing cover, logic and justification for Desert Bloc's genocidal behaviour. This is yet another example. Genghis Khan was good, because he 'reduced population'. Hitler was good because he reduced the Jewish population. Churchill was very good – he reduced Indian, Arab, populations. Various American Presidents were also very good. They annihilated the entire Native American Population in the USA. Anglo-Saxon Policy in Australia is good because it has again wiped out Australian Aborigine population.
Before that, the Abbot of Citeaux instructed his followers at the start of the Albigensian Crusade – "Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius" (Kill them all, God will know his own). "Get gold, humanely if possible, but at all hazards, get gold." (1511, King Ferdinand of Spain to his conquistadors). Since, it was not possible humanely, the Spanish Conquistadors massacred millions.
These massacres cut green house gas emissions. And this is a double-trick. So, in our outrage at the notion that Genghis Khan's massacres were good, we don't reject the fraud of Global Warming Is Bad notion.
Red herrings – the challenge ahead
To get around the 'problem' of economic stagnation, the West has created artificial 'crisis' situations.
- Population Explosion
- Global Warming and climate change
- Civil Wars in Africa
- Islamic Demonization and the spectre of Islamic terrorism
- Financial meltdowns
These are major diplomatic offensives using media, academia, events and situations to
- Maintain superior negotiating positions
- Define the agenda – which usually means non-substantive issues.

McArdle disease: Glycogen storage disease type V and the most common type of glycogen storage disease. McArdle disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the gene that encodes myophosphorylase, an enzyme that is essential for glycogenolysis. Exercise intolerance usually develops during childhood, along with pain, cramps, and fatigue in exercised muscle. These symptoms are more likely to be induced by brief, intense activities (such as weight lifting or sprinting) but can also occur after prolonged, low-intensity exercises (such as swimming or jogging). Severe muscle damage can lead to myoglobinuria (the release of myoglobin from muscle into the bloodstream) and renal failure. There is variation among patients with McArdle disease. Some patients become fatigued easily but have no clinically significant muscle cramps or pain, whereas others have with progressive atrophy and weakness of upper arm, and thigh muscles in late adulthood. In rare cases, McArdle disease is so severe it causes congenital weakness and progressive respiratory failure.

Wool contains lanolin, a natural oil that makes wool both stain resistant and flame retardant without chemical treatment. This means dirt and debris sit on the outside of the fibers, allowing it to be vacuumed up easily. Pure wool rugs will shed noticeably for the first few months and will diminish over time.

Rug Design Process
Long before our rugs are woven, they start as a vision of color, composition and material. We design our rugs with inspiration from art and architecture to historical designs and nature. Every color, pattern and texture is carefully considered to ensure the rugs are both beautiful and easy to live with. We use the highest quality yarns for durability and longevity. Rugs set the foundation for your room and we're committed to bringing you an exclusive collection of colors, styles and textures that will last.
How It's Made
State-of-the-art machines are used to weave the entire rug. Machine looming produces rugs with a uniform look and dense weave at a value. Finishing details are completed primarily by hand.
Machine-loomed rugs are made using computer-controlled tufting needles that quickly push loops of yarn through a primary backing. Expert craftsmen carefully inspect the rug after weaving and fill any gaps with a tufting gun or, in the case of tiny areas, a single-tuft needle. Using a scissors, excess yarns are hand-trimmed from the front, back and edges of the rug. After a final edging, each rug is inspected for size, consistency and overall quality.
Finish Details
A non-allergenic, synthetic latex backing is rolled on by hand after the tufting process to hold the yarns in place. Then a secondary backing material is added to add strength and stability. A final layer of flexible latex is troweled on, to lock the backing system together and create a smooth back.

43 Thugs Arrested After Bragging About Murdering People On Facebook & Twitter!
" Dozens of reputed gang members have been arrested in relation to a string of shootings in Brooklyn. Police say 43 members of two Brownsville gangs were indicted in the shootings, which terrorized several apartment complexes and left at least two dead. The suspects were linked to at least two murders, as well as shootings, robberies and assaults dating back to June of 2010. In one of the homicides, police say an innocent bystander was killed and several other innocent victims were injured when a gang member fired a hail of bullets into a courtyard while seeking out rival gang members. The suspects, some as young as 15, were charged with murder, conspiracy, robbery and other charges.

Lance Armstrong drops out of swim meet
- Armstrong had planned to swim in Masters championships in Austin
- He had been entered in three distance events
- FINA sent a letter saying event is under umbrella of WADA code
AUSTIN (AP) — Lance Armstrong's doping past got him kicked out of the pool.
Armstrong was forced to withdraw Thursday from the Masters South Central Zone Championships this weekend after swimming's international federation raised objections to his participation.
Armstrong has been banned for life from sanctioned Olympic sport competition by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency because of his performance-enhancing drug use during his professional cycling career. He had entered three distance events for the meet at the University of Texas and had been cleared by U.S. Masters Swimming officials to compete.
FINA stepped in with a letter to U.S. Masters Swimming officials, saying that because the organization falls under the FINA umbrella as a sanctioning body, it must recognize the World Anti-Doping Code and bar Armstrong from competition.
Armstrong spokesman Mark Higgins said Armstrong contacted U.S Masters Swimming weeks ago about racing. Armstrong, who is 41, was among the top qualifiers in the 40-44 age group in the 500, 1,000 and 1,650-yard freestyle events.
"As of (Wednesday) evening, we were told he was welcome," Higgins said in an email to the Associated Press. "That position changed and we were told he could not compete, so Lance will not be swimming."
U.S. Masters Swimming does not drug test. Before FINA stepped in, Masters Swimming executive director Rob Butcher had said Armstrong could compete because the organization was trying to promote its mission of encouraging adults to swim.
"His interest was around fitness and training. In light of FINA and the other political stuff, he will not be swimming," Butcher said Thursday.
FINA sent its letter after media reports surfaced Wednesday that Armstrong would compete.
"We're expecting them to apply the rules," FINA executive director Cornel Marculescu told the AP. A USADA spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment.
Armstrong won the Tour de France from 1999 to 2005 and denied doping for years until USADA issued a massive report in 2012 detailing drug use by Armstrong and his U.S. Postal Service teams.
In January, Armstrong said during an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he used steroids, blood boosters and other banned performance-enhancing drugs and methods during his career. Armstrong also was removed from the board of the Livestrong cancer foundation he formed in 1997 after being diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain.
Armstrong had been pursuing a post-cycling career in triathlons before he was banned by USADA.

Gavin competed for the Tennessee State football team from 1954-57. A native of Lake, Mississippi, Gavin was a two-time All-American at TSU and played under legendary coaches Henry Kean and Howard Gentry.
As a Tiger, Gavin compiled a record of 32-2-1.
Following his career at TSU, Gavin became a member of the inauguarl 1960 Broncos team. He spent four seasons with the Broncos (1960-63), most notably scoring a touchdown in the 1961 season and grabbing an interception in the 1962 campaign.
Gavin, a member of the board of directors of the Denver Broncos Alumni Association, told the Denver Post in 2009: "We just went out there and did our job. We were all just ballplayers."
After Gavin finished his playing career at TSU, he continued to follow the Tiger football program.

Mississippi River Drops, Threatening Barge Traffic
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The Mississippi River's water level is dropping again and barge industry trade groups warn that river commerce could essentially come to a halt as early as next week in an area south of St. Louis.
The Coast Guard remains confident that the nation's largest waterway will remain open despite the worst drought in decades. But officials with the American Waterways Operators and Waterways Council Inc. said Thursday that even if the river is open, further limits on barges will halt commercial traffic.
Mike Petersen, of the Army Corps of Engineers, says ice on the northern Mississippi River is reducing the flow more than expected. The river level is now expected to get to 3 feet at Thebes, Ill., on Jan. 6, when new limits on barges could go into place.

| 11.9°C Belfast
Wounded servicemen and women competed in front of Prince Harry today to mark the beginning of a selection process for his Paralympic-style championships.
Harry met more than 25 potential competitors who are hoping to take part in the wheelchair rugby, cycling and indoor rowing events at the Invictus Games.
A team of 100 serving and veteran personnel will be selected to form the British Armed Forces team in the Games at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London in September.
The selection process, run by Help For Heroes and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and due to last for four months, began this morning at Tedworth House in Tidworth, Wiltshire.
Harry, who wore jeans and a black fleece emblazoned with the Games logo, said he hoped the challenge would help injured personnel in the recovery process.
"I have seen how powerful sport is as a means of rebuilding confidence as well as aiding with physical rehabilitation," the Prince said.
"These men and women are fighters by nature.
"The intense physical training and competitive spirit that will be forged inside this team as they prepare to represent their country in the Invictus Games will, I hope, go some way to helping the recovery not only of those who hope to be selected here today, but also inspire others along the way."
Help For Heroes and the MoD received around 200 applications from men and women hoping to take part in the Games.
More than 300 participants from 13 nations will compete in the international sporting event, from September 10 to 14 this year.
Following today's selections, further events will take place to find the 100 men and women who will form the British Armed Forces team.
Aspiring competitors will be assessed for their commitment to train on a regular basis and their performance.
Sir Keith Mills, chairman of the Invictus Games, said: "With the selection process starting, the countdown to the Invictus Games has truly begun.
"Not only have we started recruiting our British Armed Forces team but tickets for the Games will go on sale next month.
"Now is the time for the public to really get behind these Games and show their support for those who will be the real stars of the event - the competitors."
The Invictus Games are being organised with the support of The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry as well as the MoD.
Competitors will take part in eight sports - athletics, archery, wheelchair basketball, road cycling, indoor rowing, wheelchair rugby, swimming and sitting volleyball.
There will also be a driving challenge, organised by Jaguar Land Rover.
Group Captain Vicky Gosling said: "Sport can help an individual to realise their full potential and I hope the Games will encourage even more service personnel to take up physical challenges as part of their recovery."
Games hopeful Jon "Frenchie" Le Galloudec was shot in the spine while on active duty in Iraq.
He is aiming to compete in rowing and swimming events at the Games and defend his two bronze medals from the Warrior Games in the US in 2013.
"Sport has really helped me improve my confidence post injury and the sense of freedom I get from it is second to none," he said.
"My proudest sporting achievements are winning two bronze medals at the Warrior Games in 2013 and it would be an honour to be selected for the Invictus Games."
Royal Marine Don Maclean, who stood on an IED while on patrol in Afghanistan in April 2011, has put his name forward for the wheelchair basketball and cycling events.
"Hopefully I will be selected for the Invictus Games but it is also important that we show other injured servicemen that there is life beyond injury," he said.
"Prince Harry has always been a great supporter of military charities and obviously he likes to keep the spotlight on injured servicemen.
"It's always great to see that he is prepared to take the time to come and visit us and to speak with us. It keeps everybody motivated."

Download QuickTime
Just launch QuickTime Player, and there's no telling where you're likely to land. The Player may whisk you to the Moon or perhaps to an exotic location on this planet. Take you on a virtual field trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Or treat you to the latest news, movie trailers, music videos, HBO series or PBS specials. That's because QuickTime 7 Player takes advantage of the latest video compression technology. It's called H.264, and it's an important new industry standard that's quickly garnered widespread support. Chosen as the industry-standard codec for 3GPP (mobile multimedia), MPEG-4 HD-DVD and Blu-ray, H.264 represents the next generation of video for everything from mobile multimedia to high-definition playback. H.264 icon.
After 10 years and with millions of users worldwide, Apple's QuickTime player still provides one of the best solutions for digital media. Whether you're watching streaming movie trailers online or diving headlong into QuickTime as a creation platform, you'll find little to quibble about in this veteran player.
Its few quirks are quickly offset by the elegant Apple interface and the top-notch audio/video playback quality. QuickTime 7 comes in two varieties. The free standard player handles popular audio, graphic, and video formats, including the much-ballyhooed H.264 and MPEG-4. Also, for $29.95, you can upgrade to the content-creation-friendly Pro version, which adds features such as full-screen playback, easy editing, H.264/MPEG-4 production, and the ability to save movies from the Web.
MPEG-2 support is available, but at an additional cost of $19.95.High-definition content looks impressive with the new H.264 codec, but hardly better than with similar offerings from Microsoft. The stylish transport controls and the friendly layout work well. Inclusion of the autoupdate and automatic-network-detection features make getting started and staying current easy.
Overall, QuickTime 7 continues to be a must-have for anyone surfing the Web or looking to experience the best in digital media.

FunStuff: Charlottesville events March 1 and beyond
Art interactive
Thanks to artist Daniel Canogar, Second Street Gallery will be turned into an audio-visual experience not to be missed. Using discarded electronic materials from our throw society, such as computer cables, telephone wires, and DVDs, Canogar creates interactive sculptures that mimic our tissues, nervous systems, and brains. The show is called "Reboot" and will be up during the entire month of March.
March 2, Second Street Gallery, 5:30-7:30pm. Free
Art & Poetry
At The Garage on First Street, the gallery and music space beside Hill & Wood funeral home, you'll find a collection of photographs and poetry by Margaret Montague and Abigail Lee, whose exhibition "Material" explores the ideal of success and the pursuit of money and comfort that has become the American dream. Refreshments will be served.
March 2, The Garage, 5pm-8pm. Free
Art & History
At the Central Library, check out the work of late local folk artist Frances Brand, whose exhibition "Firsts" will have portraits of trail blazers, like the first Black mayor of Charlottesville, the first woman priest in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, the first African-American to get a masters degree from UVA, Booker Reaves, and the area's first women firefighters Mary Garwood and Rebecca Haas (shown here). Nancy O'Brien, the first female mayor of Charlottesville, and Brand's granddaughter Cindy Brand will be on hand to give a presentation about the collection.
March 2, Central Library, 5pm - 7pm. Free
Stevie Jay is back!

March 9 & 10, The Bridge, 8pm, $10-$5
Harlem Globetrotters
The skilled hi-jinx of the Harlem Globetrotters, the exhibition basketball team that actually formed in the South Side of Chicago in the 1920s, are familiar to people around the world. Who can forget characters like George "Meadowlark" Lemon and Fred "curly" Neal, who became big stars in the 1970s and 1980s? Over the years, players have come and gone, but the team continues to delight children and adults. And they'll be doing just that at John Paul Jones Arena. This year, the team welcomes the tallest pro basketball player around, 7-foot, 8-inch Paul "Tiny" Sturgess, as well as the shortest, 5-foot, 2-inch Jonte "Too Tall" Hall. You'll also get to see the winners of the 2011 College Slam Dunk Contest.
March 8, John Paul Jones Arena, 7pm, $22-$94
Eli Cook at Whiskey Jar
In addition to knocking folks out with its farm-fresh food, craft bourbons, and rustic renovation of the old Escafé space, the Whiskey Jar on the Downtown Mall has become a new music venue as well. This week, you'll want to catch the wicked guitar chops of Eli Cook, whose particular brand of southern rock falls somewhere between Mississippi Blues, Led Zeppelin and Motley Crue.
March 3, Whiskey Jar, 10:30pm, Free
Dance project
Find out what isn't true love at the McGuffey Art Center, as the Miki Liszt Dance Company presents the Starr Foster Dance Project's production of True Love, what the company is calling "a crass assessment of relationships that have been adorned by delusion, lust and deceit." There will even be a Q & A session with the dancers and the composer after each show.
March 2, McGuffey Art Center, 6pm and 7pm, $8
Women's film fest
Ladies, this may be the perfect girls' night out. And Gents, what better way to understand the women in your lives. In an effort to raise money for Postpartum Support Virginia & The Breast Cancer Fund, UVA's School of Nursing will be hosting LUNAFEST, a traveling film festival of nine award-winning short films by, for, about women. And it's a diverse line-up: women who start their own rugby team, an unmarried Persian woman who dodges the matchmakers, a meditation on how to be alone, and adventures on Craigslist's "Missed Connections" forum (still shown here), are just of few of the stories that will be told.
March 12, Claude Moore Nursing Building, 6:30pm, $10-$5
Adventure on film
A harrowing descent of one of the highest mountains in the world, kayaking Africa's Lukuga River, a year with the Dalai Lama, a disabled sit-skier tackling the steepest and wildest mountains in the world, man and horse traveling from Mongolia to Hungary in the footsteps of Genghis Khan, and the wildest competition known to man–racing up 3,000 vertical feet on the Nose route of El Capitan, a massive granite monolith in Yosemite National Park. These are just a few of the adventure-films you'll see at the Banff Mountain Film Festival tour, a celebration of exploration and adventure.
March 11 & 12, Paramount Theater, $15
Starting a Vineyard
If you've ever thought of starting a vineyard, large or small (or just have love of wine), you don't want to miss this two-hour workshop led by the so-called "Father of Virginia Wine," Gabriele Rausse.

March 10, Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center, 9:30am, $15
The Nerd

Friday evening I had the great pleasure of attending the book launch for "Breaking Through: Catholic Women Speak for Themselves" at the Catholic Information Center here in Washington, D.C. Dr. Helen Alvaré of George Mason University Law School – who by the way will shortly be publicly debating a woman named Sandra Fluke whom you might have heard of – is both the editor of and a contributor to this new collection of essays by Catholic women. Dr. Alvaré moderated the event which included presentations by several of the book's contributors, as well as a Q&A discussion with the panel afterwards. It was a great pleasure to be able to hear from thoughtful, faithful Catholic women themselves, about how they integrate their Faith into their lives, wherever they happen to be personally and professionally.
Dr. Alvaré began by making some observations on the origins of the project, including a letter to the present Administration which has now been signed by over 30,000 women, and how she approached the women who contributed to the book. She noted that one of her greatest concerns, as someone who has worked in the Pro-Life movement for many years, was that what used to be viewed as the opinions of interest groups such as Planned Parenthood and NARAL seem to have been taken on board by the present Administration as policy. Thus, the sound bites of these organizations have in many cases become the government's talking points. Dr. Alvaré noted that the continued thinking of these organizations is that children are a damper on a woman's possibility of success, and that the availability of abortion and contraception makes a woman as "free" as a man – a line of thinking based on an underlying assumption that somehow the woman was either flawed or not free to begin with.
The book covers many subject areas, including the relatively new phenomenon of a woman being the major breadwinner in the home, the sex/mating/marriage market, and the challenges of motherhood. Other topics include the continued draw of the religious life in the modern world, and ways of living Catholic life to its fullest every day. In addition to Dr. Alvaré herself, four other contributors to the book spoke about their subject areas, as well as their own experiences as Catholic women from different backgrounds and different age groups, including an Ob/Gyn, a college preparatory school theology teacher, an attorney in private practice, and another attorney at a non-profit.
What was remarkable in the presentation of each of the women was that none of them were shrinking violets laboring under the yoke of an oppressive male patriarchy. Rather it was clear that each was unafraid to speak about her own experiences, and both the pleasant and difficult aspects of the path that she was on in her life. This was not a panel of holier-than-thou church ladies, sitting on a dais and casting disdainful glances at the imperfect, but rather real people, who have joys and sorrows, achievements and disappointments, as we all do, and are trying their best to make their way toward sainthood, instead of presuming they are there already. As one of the panelists pointed out, even saints who lived a century or five centuries ago suffered many of the same fears and doubts that any of us do today.
Moreover, there was a common recognition among the panelists that each felt she was able to exercise her God-given freedom in her life to make decisions and seek answers. None expressed a sentiment that she was somehow being prevented by any external, supposedly anti-woman force from pursuing her own aspirations or the fulfillment of her own identity. In addition, the very good point was made that this book itself was not a part of a "war on women" but rather an invitation to witness to other women, rather than seeking to win some sort of battle. This leads us to an important consideration.
As a man, I will admit as I did on the Catholic Weekend show the following day that at times I did feel ever-so-slightly the interloper at this discussion. This was not because I was in any way made to feel unwelcome, I hasten to add. Rather it was because I felt angered by some of the things these women spoke of experiencing first-hand, in contemporary society, which so often tries to make them seem out of touch or propping up some sort of evil organization by their remaining faithful to the Church.
If you have read me lo these many years, gentle reader, you know that anti-Catholicism is something I will not quarter, though I do confess I could be a bit gentler and perhaps thereby more productive in my reactions to attacks on the Church, at times. As Dr. Alvaré herself mentioned during the Q&A session, sometimes you have to send in the Marines, but sometimes you have to send in the Peace Corps. I have no question that she herself would be fully capable of both choosing and leading either option. However that bit of wisdom on her part, that sometimes seeking to have a conversation rather than an argument will yield better results, was definitely something I need to chew on.
That being said…
Over the past year or so since the present Administration rather foolishly decided to have a go at the Catholic Church, we have learnt much about what it is that women, and particularly Catholic women, allegedly want for themselves. We have been told that a tiny, select group of half-wit activists and theological contortionists collectively represent the views of Catholic women everywhere. To dare to disagree with this intellectual flea circus is viewed as tantamount to advocating the collective subjugation of, or indeed the making of war upon, all women.
The women whom I listened to at this presentation were not subjugated or enchained, but rather very much free. They were free to seek light and nuance where others seek hyperbole and clichés. More importantly, they are able to exercise their freedom within the context of both their faith in God AND from within His Church. They do not need anyone to tell them how to think for themselves, as those crying "war on women" so haughtily and presumptuously do.
It was a distinct pleasure for me to be able to spend an evening listening to and learning from such a grounded, smart group of women, each individually bringing something unique and beneficial to the conversation, and collectively impressing me with how very much more I need to reflect upon my own Faith and its integration into my personal and professional life.

James Ruse Agricultural High School
My dad hoards scrap metal. There is little beauty within the useless clutter, yet it is a tolerable counter to the errant waste of consumerism. My work is a contemplation of the dichotomy of this existence. Humans are technological creatures, but can we be reconciled with the natural environment? The reuse of waste, from discarded refrigerator parts to ashes, creates awkward 'machines'. I responded to materials on an aesthetic and intellectual basis, demanding both creative awareness and technical reasoning, almost an allegory of human evolution.
So, are spirituality and logic mutually exclusive?
The work is not didactic, but speculative.
Joey Nguyen's artwork is composed of found objects and appropriated images. He raises issues of wastage, consumerism and the relationship between nature, man and machine in our society. Robert Klippel and Richard Hamilton, like Nguyen, have used similar strategies. Observe artworks by these artists and make a list of the materials used and their origins. Consider how aspects of nature, man and the machine have been suggested simultaneously. Debate how these artists have represented everyday objects as extraordinary things and utilised images out of their original context.
Research dada and surrealist art practices. Propose if an artist's labour resides with the hands or with the mind. Are they makers of images/objects or makers of meaning? Research a variety of artists and use examples of their work to support your case. Suggest how Klippel, Hamilton and Nguyen have been influenced by dada and surrealism and yet have also responded to their contemporary worlds.
Read Nguyen's artist statement. Assess if the meaning of his work is dependent on the materials used or how an audience interprets them. Consider what you think audiences value more: the material or the conceptual nature of an artwork. Observe people viewing artworks in a gallery, interview them and draw some conclusions.

Why I'm Debunking Christianity, Part II
WarrenL is in blue. I am in red.
Motivations are indeed multifaceted and I do agree with all those listed. But I have always believed that the heart of Christian apologetics is to provide an answer for the hope we have, as opposed to simply presenting an argument. That implies that a question needs to be posed first.
What's wrong with me providing a response to those Christians who provide an answer for the purported hope they have? If the Christian hope is true, then I should change my thinking and my lifestyle, according to them. So Christians are telling me I should change, and I respond by telling them I don't have to because the arguments are not there. Surely because of the claims of Christianity I should respond. At least I'm not just ignoring them. I'm giving them a response.
What I do notice is that Triablogue address a range of diverse topics; atheism, Islam, Mormonism, Roman Catholic theology etc. You on the other hand only address one, Christianity. Am I to assume that there is nothing else that grips your interest as much as Christianity? If not then for something that you have walked away from it sure dominates your life.
We merely have a specific limited topic here, to debunk Christianity. Triablogue's agenda is necessarily more general, because if they are correct, then every other religion must be wrong. We'll let them argue with every other religion. They can do that for us. All that's left for us to do is debunk Christianity.
Still, atheism by definition is in opposition to every Theistic religion regardless of what Christianity says about them. If your mission is successful and you ever manage to debunk Christianity will you then turn your attention to those other religions? I get the impression that in your mind perhaps the others are not worth debunking because they have no merit.
As a former Christian apologist I debunked all of the other religions that I had studied. I had previously rejected them as a Christian. Having already done that, the only thing left is to debunk Christianity.
There are many ideas out there that even you have to admit are at least as or even more dangerous than Christianity. Why aren't you as passionate about those?
Militant Islam is presently far worse to me, although militant Christianity has been far worse at some periods of the past. I'm not as knowledgeable about Islam so I let others do it for me see here.
Surely you disagree with more in the world than just Christianity. Why is that your personal bug bear? It still seems that Christianity is the defining centrality to much of your existence.
It is a rejection of a past I spent far too long defending. It's my way of confirming what I believe, and at the same time helping others who suffer under its wings like I did for far too long.
I have tried to put myself in your position and I think that unlike you, if I ever lost my faith, my pursuits would be entirely different. I wouldn't want to waste anymore of my time in dissecting the Christian faith or trying to 'save' those pigheaded Christians. But then you and I are very different.
Yes we are. As a philosophy instructor I enjoy discussing and debating ideas, and I know the most about Christianity. Debating sharpens my mind. And just like the artist who looks as her finished painting and admires it, I like looking at what I've created too when I'm finished writing. I like looking at it and thinking to myself from time to time "Now that's good."
I will also have to disagree with your distinction between thoughts and actions. It's true that one can think something and not actually do it. But thoughts do influence attitudes and actions. It's funny how I always start disliking my house about the same time I stop watching HGTV, even though I have a great house. Think enough about sexy naked women and after a while your wife will pale by comparison.
I never said thoughts do not influence actions. But fantasy is just that, if recognized for what it is as a psychologically healthy adult. Besides, it's psychological harming to deny one his fantasies. Kids grow up pretending all the time. It's who we are as human beings. If you cannot fantasize about being rich you'll never be rich, for instance. And fantasizing about kicking the shit out of someone may be all the release a healthy individual needs, so long as he's a psychologically stable person. As a man, you struggle with lust, don't you? Sure, we must all contain our thought world, but I find no guilt in a lustful thought. And as a man, I do have them, just like every man does. Women may not understand it, and they may condemn it all they want to, but it's biology baby. And I don't have to feel guilty for this anymore. I just have to recognize it for what it is, fantasy, and leave it there, which I can easily do. Besides, "Most of our emotions and desires are involuntary and cannot be controlled, so to condemn them as wrong causes unnecessary guilt and psychological harm." --Michael Martin.
You are right though; Christians do struggle with their thoughts. To be honest I certainly don't beat myself over inappropriate thoughts or actions. I know I am human and I know I'll battle these for the rest of my life, BUT grace has been extended without me having to earn it. I do the things I do out of joyful obedience not to earn points. Ah, the freedom and joy of being forgiven. (loaded words I know.)
In my opinion Christianity is an extremely guilt producing faith, and I only realized it after I left it. Even though I knew it was by grace that I had been saved, I almost always felt guilty that I wasn't doing enough in response to God's love. Whether it was spending time in prayer, evangelizing, reading the Bible, tithing, forgiving someone who had done me wrong, or whether it was struggling with temptations of lust, pride, selfishness and laziness, I almost always felt guilty. It may just be because I was so passionate about Christianity that this was the case, and so it just might be my particular temperament. But I never could understand how Christian people could come to church every Sunday and never get involved much in the Church's programs, because that's what believers should want to do. To be quite frank here, if Christians really believed that the non-Christian was going to hell, and that God loved them enough to send his Son to die for them on the cross, then how would they behave? How many true believers are in the churches today? The bottom line is that a vast number of Christians do not experience freedom and a full life, in my opinion. The fear of God and hell can and does dominate their thinking, even if they may not fully realize this until after they leave it.
I don't really know what Christian circles you moved in but I have never been shunned for expressing doubts and I have had my fair share.
Translated: "I move in better Christian circles than you did (a standard type rebuttal which I have no privy information to assess its merits).
Are there any inherent dangers with atheistic views? May I suggest you ask the 30-50 million victims of Stalin and Pol Pot. Even the grossest estimates of the infamous Spanish Inquisition pale in comparison. See sometimes I also tend to paint in broad brush strokes. Now I know that you are not a that kind of atheist and that's not what atheism is about, so I'll try refrain from lumping you in with Stalin et al as long as you distinguish between those with true Christian ideals and those who have hijacked a distorted view of Christianity for their own means.
But who speaks for Christianity? Who? There are at present 45,000 different denominations. To whom do I go to for information on what a Christian thinks and behaves and to find which political party and which social issues to support? Hijacking? Which ones? Amish people today would say that you've hijacked Christianity. There was a time when Christians argued from the Bible that they could own slaves as pieces of meat, and beat them within an inch of their lives. This would have been the overwhelming majority opinion of their day. If you believe what you do today, you would have been the outsider in their day. They would claim that you had hijacked Christianity.
I believe there are evil people who will use any ideology to their own sadistic ends. They come in all shapes and sizes, all colors, and all religions, or none at all. The question is which ones are used most by these evil people to justify their evil actions? Does atheism fare better or Christianity? I don't know. But my guess is that percentage-wise, atheists are better educated than others, and better educated people are usually better people toward others, even if there are exceptions to this. While I don't have a statistical study on this, this stands to reason. Better educated people know that violence breeds violence and that nothing much is solved by violence. They would also have a much greater tendency to rationally discuss the issues they wish to change, and to properly evaluate the reasons why they might seek to do someone harm. Nevertheless, there are people with Freudian "Death Wishes" everywhere, regardless of what they believe. They are suicidal by degrees. Some Christians feel they have committed the unpardonable sin, or that God cannot forgive them, so they no longer care what they do to others, or themselves.
When I think of one of the greatest secular failures of all time, the USSR, I can so easily apply the terms class struggles, homophobia, racism, mass neurosis, intolerance and environmental disasters. Please don't tell me you honestly believe that these will be eliminated by getting rid of Christian (religious)influence. So just how does atheism address the natural tendency for self preservation and dominance?
In the first place, secularism didn't fail with the demise of the USSR. Leninism did. Lenin hijacked Marxism for his own powerseeking purposes. Lenin does not speak for the rest of us atheists today. Modern atheism addresses your worries through education and in understanding the different viewpoints of others. Once that is accomplished we can no longer say of someone that they are stupid and hate them merely because we have disagreements. Education fosters tolerance. And while no one can be tolerant of everything, we can be tolerant of different viewpoints, even while disagreeing with them. A heightened tolerance level on BOTH sides of the fence would go a long way to resolving differences around the world, between Jew and Muslim, between warring factions in Africa, and even between Christians and atheists. For instance, Christians think atheists cannot be trusted because they do not have a standard for "objective" morality. But once you live next to an atheist, study at his feet, and/or become her friend, you learn differently. Education means being exposed to different ideas and different experiences. Tolerance is the result. Atheists also promote laws that grant everyone the right to believe whatever they want to, which would exclude any kind of thecratic rule, be it Muslim, Jewish or Christian.
I would particularly like to see the 'strong case' that Christianity contains considerably more violence and destruction than that of the other major religions. Where's the proof? I can similarly say that the history of a secular worldview contains more violence and destruction than most of the other major worldviews. Particularly if I lump in fascism, national socialism, communism and the like.
If you as a Christian have to even make the case that Christianity fares better than atheism, then you've already lost the debate, because it's not obvious. Here's why: The Christian is the only one who claims that God the Holy Spirit resides in him. And according to the Bible the Holy Spirit helps the Christian to understand the things of God, and also helps him to behave. But Christians do not act noticeably better than non-Christians, and it's partly because the Christian doesn't seem to understand what God purportedly wants him to do. Where was the Holy Spirit's guidance in the lives of the Christians during WWII, or during American Black Slavery, or the Crusades, or the Inquisitions and witch hunts and heresy killings? Hitler's Germany was a part of the Protestant Reformation. Germany was a Christian nation! And yet we know what happened during WWII. A Christian nation acted worse than non-Christian nations? You've already lost the debate, because as a Christian you must claim that you alone have a truly powerful God helping you to behave and think right. If Christianity makes people better why isn't it obvious?
The Christian God was definitely not created in our image. What would motivate anyone to create a God other than one who caters to all our desires, wants and excesses? Why create a God that we have no hope of pleasing in the first place. Trust me if I was part of that committee we wouldn't have ended up with the Christian God. Point in case - you spend most of your time trying to prove how repugnant he is. And we created him, all by ourselves? How? Why? To control; that can be done without religion. To highlight how weak and incapable we are. Right.
The ancients were fearful of death and they pondered the mysteries of their dreams. Life was dreadful and very demanding of them. People died young. There were battles to be fought with the beasts and with other nations. So they envisioned a God who was demanding. It's not that they wanted to create an ice cream and cake giving God; it was that life was scary, hard and demanding. There must be a dreadful, demanding, and hard God too. And in the hands of the producers of religion who offered acceptable answers to life (priests and prophets), it gave these producers power over the masses, for if the people disobeyed God's messenger or priest, they would face God's supposed wrath. It was all so quite convenient for the producers of religion who offered explanations of dreams and the mysteries of a lifeless body. They gained power, fame, and money over the consumers of religion (the masses). But if they created a religion that was merely ice cream and cake, the people would no longer fear the producers of religion, and the producers would not receive power, fame and money. Besides, ancient people would not have believed in an ice cream and cake giving God, anyway, since life was very hard, demanding, and scary. To read more on this whole topic, please take the time to read this
Actually I like being deluded (though obviously I don't think I am). Within my worldview I can explain most of what goes on in my world. So please don't try 'save' me and I'll try not to 'save' you. I'll try simply provide an answer for the hope that I have. Albeit rather poorly.
But then what do you have to say about the Bill Craig's in the world who argue that Christianity is correct, and I'll rot in hell if I don't believe? They're trying to "save" me, even if you're not. So long as people like that are out there I can argue against them all I want to. If that means you get caught up in the middle between us, preferring to be left alone and also preferring to leave people like me alone, I cannot control that. You don't have to listen in. You don't have to assume that what I write is about you, either. It's only directed at apologists like Bill Craig who think I'll rot in hell if I don't agree, and that's a charge that I must respond to, if for no other reason because my own life is at stake if he's correct. He's claiming that if I disagree that's what will happen to me, and I object very strongly to such a challenge on behalf of everyone who reads that challenge, since it is so extremely guilt producing, and since many people don't know how to adequately respond to challenges like that. But I think I do, and so I speak out.

Its easy to side with the players because they have agreed to the loss of their share moving forward. They have agreed to restrictions on their contracts moving forward. They are losing and the league is gaining. They agree on the money, players are trying to mitigate losses to contract rights they have. Rights that have nothig to do with year to year dollars.
Those rights actually do have an impact on year to year dollar and that is why they are being fought over. Being able to have a 75% difference in a contract's pay over 6 years is huge. For instance, a 6 year contract that starts at $4million can only go down to $2.94million with the 5%, whereas the players want that to be able to back-dive to $1million. That difference gets bigger as the contract values get higher. It's real dollars and cents. It eliminates Philly from front-loading an offer sheet to Weber. It makes all the franchises healthier and able to, ya know, exist so that the players can have jobs.
Right, but having both a 5 year maximum length and 5% variance clause is redundant. They'd have to drop yearly values quite drastically to have a real impact on the AAV of a 5 year deal, so one or the other would be more than enough to effectively end the current cap circumvention techniques.

Note: As of 1/24/2012, the reliability bots have been providing no real results for 6-12 months. Even green builds were returning warning codes that alerted to no access to data. This has been a known issue while a replacement system is constructed. Please ignore any purple/offline bots for now.
Understanding reliability test results
The Chromium Buildbot runs a large scale set of tests called the distributed reliability tests. This system will automatically test new builds against thousands of pages from the web. It will also fuzz-test the user interface against thousands of possible user action sequences. The goal of this testing is to catch crashes early, in particular crashes that users are likely to see.
The results for each run are available on the Buildbot, see the Win Reliability builder. Because each run takes 30-45 minutes, several changes are often batched together in the same run. To look at the list of changes that went into a particular run, click on the "stdio" link of a reliability test run and find something like the following near the top:
Will stage build r15671 and get the complete result of previous build r15668.
The reliability tests use a set of criteria to determine whether or not
the build should fail (i.e. turn red). "New" crashes, that is crashes
that are not already marked as known, will trigger a failure.
Additionally, if the crash rate is simply too high this will also cause
the build to fail.
When a new crash occurs during a test, its crash dump is analyzed and a stack trace is produced for the functions that were on the stack at the point of the crash. This stack trace is compared against a list of known crashes. If none of the crashes in the known crashes list match the crash, the crash is considered new and the build will fail.
This system is not perfect. Crash stacks for the same crash may change or have minor variants, causing them not to match any known crash and be incorrectly reported as new. In other words, false positives are possible. As described below, properly constructing a crash signature pattern of the crash is the key to reducing the number of false positives. Over time, the system has proven to work well despite occasional false positives.
Okay, so what do I do if the build turns red?
Most importantly, don't ignore it. Please fix it ASAP following the instructions in this section. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more questions.
A red build may be the result of several factors. It could mean that a new crash has been introduced, it could mean that there are too many crashes for the product to be considered stable, or it could be a false positive. To help you identify what needs to be done in each case, use the following flow chart. More details on each step are explained below.
The numbered steps below correspond to the steps in the above flow chart.
Won't the known crashes list get out of date when crashes get fixed?
Yes. If a crash is fixed, it should be removed from the known crashes file. Otherwise, the crash could be silently reintroduced.
Cleaning up the known crashes list is currently a manual process. We're thinking about ways to automatically update this list to keep it from getting stale.
How can I get more information about a crash? (Google internal only)
Visit http://chromebot and find the associated run, which will be named after the repository revision of the run. From here you can download crash dumps and look at log output.
How can I reproduce a crash?
For site-related crashes, it should be a matter of navigating to the URL that is reported in the log. For UI test crashes, look the "UI sequence: SetUp,newtab,closetab,downloads,..." line in the log file. You can then run the automated_ui_tests binary with the flags --key=Setup,newtab,closetab,downloads,... --gtest_filter=AutomatedUITest.TheOneAndOnlyTest and only that sequence will be run.

Starting at 1pm ET, 10am PT folks from the Maxis studio behind The Sims 3 and next year's very promising SimCity revival are going going to be showing off the newest stuff in their games.
This is a two hour event and at some point, the Maxis folks have promised, they're going to be playing SimCity live. Plus, they'll have developer roundtables, news and more... but, yeah, the SimCity gameplay should be the highlight.
Watch it in the UStream player below.
