Just so you all know now , Atheists do not give to charity or build hospitals or orphanages. You don't see Atheists sacrificing to help the needy.
Only Christians do this. Christians build hospitals to help children and those who suffer.
From the mouth of my Pastor. He is a follower of God so he must be correct ... correct?
Discuss. Links to stats and evidence would be great :)
Views: 176
Wow.... that's not quite right. I for one volunteer at a local food bank and I plan to do a trip for habitat for humanity or another of those organizations. I am sure there are a lot more like me who dont believe in a god but like to help people.
You should tell him that we do nice things for people because we care, we don't need a god to makes us act nice. I hope my input helped :)
Sorry to be skeptical Adriana , but it's a 'team' , is it not? How much money is given as a way for the individual members to want to see their team 'win' in the rankings , rather than just giving because they want to?
I think Atheists have an agenda to let people know they are generous - but imo I have to suggest this is a possible factor (stressing the word possible) in the raw numbers - not the level of generosity.
But I also realize Religious people give not because they truly want to , but because it's institutionalized as a rule.
I think Atheists have an agenda to let people know they are generous
Yes. Because that's exactly what I think when I'm organizing a fundraising drive. It's not, wow, I'm actually doing something to combat child trafficking. I'm thinking, "Boy, won't some unknown fundie's face be red when they see how generous I am."
That's just an incredibly assholish statement to make. It's not "skeptical"; it's "cynical".
Hmm. I say he is 'my' pastor because he is the one who hired me. It is also easier than to say 'The pastor of whom operates the church I am the pianist for'. Heh.
To Laura's comment above , your defensive tone suggests you haven't stepped back and seen the entire picture. We all know that human beings can give money for a multiplicity of reasons. Humans are also competitive. So I think my statement is still quite justified.
Again , stress the 'possible factor'. A factor is a part of something , and possible means 'a chance it exists'. So there is a FACT that there is a small chance that some atheists are giving a bit % more because they feel they have something to prove.
Adriana , I do believe all humans are selfish. But that is not at all a negative trait. We all do what makes us feel good. Some people feel good by helping others and some feel good by living their lives without caring for others. So I am in fact a little skeptical about the big difference between the atheistic / agnostic / freethinker team and the other teams ;)
I will tread as softly as a Jain. ;) Thanks for the advice.
Oh , if you care - Richard Dawkins is also a physicist. He was introduced in the sermon as 'The Atheist and physicist, Richard Dawkins ... '
So he is no longer an evolutionary biologist and ecologist.
At least the big hitting atheists are getting 'some' recognition inside churches even if it isn't positive haha.
I raised $470 last year and donated it to http://love146.org , an organization that rescues children from sex trafficking worldwide and provides aftercare to kids who've been saved from slavery.
I am an atheist.
Therefore, statement false.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Female Sales Associate Target of Sexting, and Her Supervisor Fired For Reporting Harassment, EEOC Charges
SEATTLE — National retail chain Fry's Electronics violated federal laws by failing to take action against the sexual harassment of a young female employee and retaliating against her supervisor after he spoke out on her behalf, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC, the assistant manager of Fry's Renton, Wash., store began to sexually harass sales associate America Rios in early 2007. Even though Rios was under 21 years old at the time and had repeatedly refused his advances, the harasser continually sent her sexually charged text messages with invitations to his house and offers of alcohol.
"This was my first job," said Rios. "I was overwhelmed, uncomfortable, stressed out, and I didn't know what to do. I tried to let it go, but I felt violated and didn't know how to pretend that nothing happened."
Rios reported the harassment to her immediate supervisor, Ka Lam. When Lam spoke to upper management on her behalf, he was told to focus on his job and that some "changes might be happening." However, shortly thereafter, Lam was fired for poor performance, even though the EEOC found that he had never received a bad review and had consistently been promoted during his four years with the company.
"I worked hard for this company, and tried to do what was right by standing up for Ms. Rios," said Lam. "Firing me for speaking out was wrong."
Sexual harassment and retaliation for complaining about it violate Title VII of Civil Rights Act of 1964. After first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through conciliation, the EEOC filed the lawsuit (EEOC v. Fry's Electronics CV-10-1562) in U.S. District Court for the District of Washington, and seeks monetary damages on behalf of Lam and Rios, training on anti-discrimination laws, posting of notices at the work site and other injunctive relief.
"While technology can put a new spin on how harassment manifests, the responsibility of employers to take harassment seriously is not new," said Luis Lucero, director for the EEOC's Seattle Field Office overseeing the case. "Text messages, instant messaging, and social networking certainly contribute to the blurring of formal lines of communication. However, the law holds employers liable for the actions of their supervisors and managers, so training them to prevent and redress harassment, no matter what the medium, is critical."
EEOC San Francisco Regional Attorney William R. Tamayo added, "Mr. Lam rightfully spoke up to protect an employee under his supervision from unlawful harassment, which is the legal duty of any manager. Fry's should have been grateful that Mr. Lam was doing his job to protect them from liability, but instead they made things worse by firing him. All workers have the right to report discrimination, and the EEOC will vigorously defend that right."
According to the company's website, www.Frys.com, the chain of retail stores specializes in software, consumer electronics, computer hardware and household appliances and the company employs over 14,000 individuals in 34 stores located throughout the U.S.
The EEOC enforces federal laws in prohibiting employment discrimination. Additional information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

YouTube promotes channels, pledges $200 mil in ads
(AP) -- In a flashy presentation to advertisers, YouTube promoted its new channels of original programming, while pledging to spend $200 million to help market them.
That's roughly twice what the Google Inc.-owned video site has spent launching some 100 channels of niche-oriented programming. The channels are an ambitious initiative from YouTube, approximately halfway through its rollout.
YouTube hyped the initiative Wednesday night at New York's Beacon Theatre, where it urged advertisers to purchase spots alongside its new programs. It was YouTube's first "upfront," an annual TV tradition of getting advertisers to purchase ads to their upcoming programming slates.
Robert Kyncl, YouTube's global head of content, pledged that YouTube will spend more than $200 million to market the channels across Google and its advertising network. After years of relying largely on user-created videos, YouTube has increasingly focused on partnering with premium content providers to lure audiences for longer viewings and attract advertisers with higher quality videos.
YouTube also announced three new channels, including one called Wigs that will focus on scripted dramas for women. It's created by producer Jon Avnet ("Black Swan," "Fried Green Tomatoes") and director Rodrigo Garcia ("Albert Nobbs," "In Treatment") and features the actresses Virginia Madsen, Julia Stiles and Jennifer Beals.
Also newly announced is a TeamUSA channel from the U.S. Olympic Committee that will feature content ahead of the 2012 games. Tribeca Enterprises, the parent company of the Tribeca Film Festival, is also creating a channel in partnership with YouTube veteran Maker Studios. That channel, dubbed the Picture Show, will debut later this year.
The event Wednesday was the last in a two-week series of upfronts from digital companies, including Hulu and Yahoo. It's the first concerted effort from Internet-based outlets to pose as TV networks. The Web destinations have sought to convince advertisers to purchase ads online, arguing that that's where viewers are migrating.
YouTube concluded their event with a surprise performance from Jay-Z, who created the YouTube channel Life and Times.

By Dan Meade
(WORLDNOW) -- The plot and title for the upcoming movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter are, for all intents and purposes, the same. It is a film about our 16th president, where he came from, why he became the man he did and how he overcame the great battle of his life. Only instead saving of America from being torn in two he saves America from vampires.
When most people think of Lincoln, they think of the Civil War, abolishing slavery, the Gettysburg Address and the log cabin where he grew up. Students of history will also point out the oratorical prowess that the tall and lanky Lincoln possessed. These are all admirable qualities, but none of them bring to mind an image of a vampire hunter.
Seth Grahame-Smith, screenwriter and author of the book upon which the movie is based, has a different take on Lincoln: "Lincoln's life story is an archetypal superhero origin story. He's as close to an actual superhero as this country's ever seen. Forget about vampires. Lincoln had neither family name nor money. His mother died when he was a youngster. In fact, everybody he loved had died. With no education, and armed with just his mind, he became president and saved the nation."
Grahame-Smith had the idea to combine this image of Lincoln as action hero with hordes of fanged fiends in 2009 while on a book tour behind his previous novel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Since 2009 was the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, Grahame-Smith has explained that "many of the bookstores on my promotional tour had two displays: one featured books about Lincoln's life; the other was a vampire-themed display, including the Twilight and Sookie Stackhouse [True Blood] books. It led me to think about combining the two subjects."
Grahame-Smith was able to combine the two subjects by changing Lincoln's origin story. In his telling of it, Lincoln's mother death is cased by a vampire, thereby setting the future president on a life-long course for revenge. Aided by a fellow vampire hunter, the life of Grahame-Smith's Lincoln runs as it did in the history books by day, but by night, he hunts vampires.
The conceit of president as action hero isn't a hard one to grasp: Teddy Roosevelt was a Rough Rider while Washington, Jackson, and Eisenhower (to name three) were all decorated war heroes. None of them may have fought vampires, but then again, none of them had to prevent a civil war from destroying the nation either.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter opens on June 22, 2012 in wide release.

Germany, ranked 15th, overpowered the 38th-ranked Czechs, who were eliminated from medal contention with this defeat.The Germans bounced back from a loss to Italy on Saturday, while the Czech Republic lacked energy following their defeat by the United States a day earlier. Germany mustered a fine all-around game and seemed to have an answer for everything the Czechs tried. Giovanni Guidetti's team was especially strong on defence and combination play, and only committed three errors during the whole match. Margareta Kozuch led Germany with 20 points, all bar one coming from spikes. Kristyna Pastulova compiled 10 points for the Czechs. Germany scored a quick win in the first set, taking it 25-8 thanks to strong play from Margareta Kozuch. The second set provided more of the same, as Germany were up 16-11 at the second TTO and took it 25-17.By the third set it was clear that the only thing in doubt was the final score and Germany closed it out, 25-16. Following Monday's rest day, Germany will play Brazil on Tuesday, while the Czech Republic meet Cuba.

39 S.Ct. 355
63 L.Ed. 738
No. 296.
Argued March 26 and 27, 1919.
Decided April 21, 1919.
Messrs. James J. McCarthy and H. La Rue Brown, both of Boston, Mass., for plaintiff in error.
Mr. John L. Hall, of Boston, Mass., for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice McKENNA delivered the opinion of the Court.
Action under the employers' liability statute (Act April 22, 1908, c. 149, 35 Stat. 65 [Comp. St. §§ 8657-8665]). Plaintiff in error's intestate, on March 3, 1912, while in the railroad company's service in interstate commerce, was killed, through the negligence, in whole or in part, it is charged, of one of the company's officers, agents or employes.
The defenses of the company were denial of the declaration and averments that the intestate's injuries and death were due to and caused by his own negligence and besides 'were the result of acts, conditions and circumstances the happening of which was assumed' by him.
The case was tried to a jury. At the conclusion of the testimony, upon motion of defendant and over the objection and exception of plaintiff, the court ruled that upon all of the evidence the plaintiff was not entitled to recover and directed a verdict for defendant. It was stipulated that the case was to be reported for the determination of the full court and that if the ruling and direction should be held to be right, then judgment was to be entered for defendant. 'If the case ought to have been submitted to the jury, then judgment is to be entered for the plaintiff in the sum of forty-five hundred ($4,500) dollars.' The case was so reported. The full court reviewed the testimony quite elaborately and concluded from that review that 'the only person who was negligent was the deceased, and the judge was right in directing a verdict for the defendant' and cited Great Northern Ry. v. Wiles, 240 U. S. 444, 36 Sup. Ct. 406, 60 L. Ed. 732.
That case repeated the established principle that when the evidence justifies it it is competent for a court to direct a verdict for a defendant. The principle is not attacked by plaintiff. The contention, however, is that the courts below, one of which tried the case, were wrong in their estimate of the evidence, and that plaintiff was entitled to the judgment of the jury upon it. We are unable to yield to the contention. Nor do we think it necessary to give a review of the evidence. It will be found in the opinion of the court, and we have verified its correctness. The case turns, therefore, upon an appreciation of the testimony and admissible inferences therefrom, and even if the conclusions of the courts were more disputable we should have to defer to them. Baltimore & Ohio R. R. Co. v. Whitacre, 242 U. S. 169, 37 Sup. Ct. 33, 61 L. Ed. 228; Erie Railroad Co. v. Welsh, 242 U. S. 303, 37 Sup. Ct. 116, 61 L. Ed. 319.
Judgment affirmed.

BRUSSELS -- A 24-hour strike by Belgian rail workers on Wednesday paralyzed train traffic throughout Belgium and the international high-speed service to London and Paris.
The strike, which started late Tuesday, reached its peak during the Wednesday morning rush hour when tens of thousands of commuters had to take to traffic-choked highways to get into the capital or work.
Many employees had taken precautions and even though long traffic jams were reported early Wednesday, they were not as bad as initially feared.
Both Thalys and Eurostar canceled services to the Belgian capital.
"In Brussels, the strike is a success, around 80-90 percent of the people are on strike," said Philippe Peers of the socialist CGSP trade union. `'Many of the stewards as well are on strike, so I can tell that there will be not a single train in Brussels."
Rail service was expected to resume late Wednesday and be back at full service on Thursday morning.
Despite the weeklong warning, it still caused plenty of hardship.
Georgina Saldena, a Mexican tourist, was heading for the Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. `'Until today, we thought we had to go there by train," she said after she was surprised by the strike. And as tourist, she felt stranded with few indications of alternative options. `'There is no sign, nothing that says that we have to come here to take a bus," she said at a bus stop that would take her to Paris, Saldena said.
Matthieu Regibout, who works in Brussels, said he took the last train on Tuesday, and slept in his office to avoid the strike's effect.
Rail workers are fearful their employment conditions will be undermined under a new plan to revamp and streamline the three companies currently overseeing train traffic in Belgium.
Unions want to go back to a single company controlling the rail grid and train traffic, saying the numerous and lengthy delays of the past could be blamed on managerial disorganization.
The state-controlled rail sector has traditionally been a huge employer in Belgium, a historic trailblazer when it comes to its dense rail grid. It still employed some 65,000 people two decades ago, but it has now dwindled to 37,000 with no personnel expansion in sight, said socialist union leader Jean-Pierre Goossens.
`'Every day, pressure at work increases since there are no hirings," Goossens said.
The VBO federation of employers said there was no reason to hobble the nation and its embattled economy with the 15th labor action in the sector over the past two years and called for limits on the right to strike.
`'It is time to contain this abuse of power," said Bart Buysse, VBO director general.

The 16" and 17" V-Crashes come to sparkling life with ease and could grace many settings where quick, bright punctuation is required. From the 18" model upwards things take a distinct turn for the louder, with each increase in diameter notching up the volume further.
While the 18" model is pretty full-on, the 19" and 20" are staggeringly powerful crashes that beg for a big stage on which to be unleashed. Despite being capable of such huge volume, their sweetness makes them dangerously playable.See the full review

T-Mobile is currently running a Cyber Monday special that could land you a HTC 8X or Nokia Lumia 810 Windows Phone for free. The deal is for new purchases and requires a two year contract with T-Mobile.
The deal on the 8X includes a $350 instant discount, a $149.99 web only discount and a $100 rebate. To qualify for the rebate you'll need to sign up for either T-Mobile's Classic Talk + Text + Web plan or Classic Talk with web service of at least $20 per month. Once you meet all the terms, just fill out the rebate form and mail it in.
The Cyber Monday deal on the Lumia 810 is a little more straight forward with $400 discount and $149.99 web only discount that drops the price to zero, zilch, nadda. You do have to sign the two year contract and sign up for one of T-Mobile's Classic plans.
The fine print reads that these are web only offers and may not be available at retail stores. You can find all the details here at T-Mobile.

We're excited to share with you that the Edmodo team has expanded!
This morning, we're pleased to announce that Greylock Partners and Benchmark Capital have joined the Edmodo team. In addition, Reid Hoffman, Greylock Managing Partner and LinkedIn Founder & Chairman, has joined the Edmodo Board along with Matt Cohler, General Partner of Benchmark Capital and former VP of Product Management at Facebook, where he was one of the first seven employees.
As you can imagine, we're excited about this announcement for a number of reasons; not only do they bring expertise in building the two largest networked communities in the world, but they also share our vision of building a global network that meets the specific needs of the education community while supporting our bedrock principle that Edmodo will always be free to use. With their guidance and the continued insight from Edmodo educators about the features and tools that are needed most in the classroom, we can't wait to see what we can accomplish together in 2012 and beyond.
As always, thank you to the Edmodo educator community for your continued support, feedback, and dedication to helping us build Edmodo — you truly are the best community of teachers in the world.

IRVINE, CA – August 13, 2013 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – In just a matter of weeks, the American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) has surged from 250 committed exhibitors to now proudly announcing B&W Trailer Hitches as its 300th exhibiting company. The new landmark number is an indicator of how powersports companies both large and small are fully embracing the inaugural event this October 16-20 in Orlando, Fla.
"The promise of AIMExpo continues to resonate with the industry, and this recent surge in exhibitor commitments is a clear demonstration of the momentum that is building at an increasing pace," said Larry Little, Vice President and General Manager of the Marketplace Events Motorcycle Group. "To think that just three weeks ago we were announcing our 250th exhibitor and to now be at a point where 50 more brands have committed to the expo is absolutely remarkable! We welcome B&W to the AIMExpo platform, and their opportunity to interact with the media, dealers and consumers, all in one place at one time."
B&W Trailer Hitches prides itself on being American made. Since its start in 1987 the U.S. based company has been at the forefront of cutting-edge manufacturing technology, leading to the creation of groundbreaking hitches like the Turnover Ball, the brand's namesake product. B&W's latest creation, the Biker Bar, has taken the industry by storm with its quality made latching system for loading and unloading cruiser motorcycles without the need for straps or tie downs. B&W also produces a variety of additional hitches and truck accessories, all aimed at making the process of loading, unloading, and transporting as easy and safe as possible.
"We are looking forward to showcasing all of our products at the inaugural AIMExpo because it provides us with a way to reach our audience in a way we've never seen before," said Charl Hill, Sales Representative for B&W. "The Biker Bar has been a great addition to the powersports industry and has quickly become a popular option for all motorcyclists because its so easy to use and very well made. We'll have the chance to really show how great the product is at AIMExpo and we couldn't be more excited about that."
As the lineup of exhibitors for AIMExpo continues to grow at a rapid pace, the anticipation for the event also increases as it sets out to revolutionize the Powersports industry as North America's first combined consumer, trade and media event. Combining indoor exhibits with outdoor activities, it presents the ideal time and place for new product launches, demo rides, educational programs and more.
AIMExpo will be held on October 16-20, 2013 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. For more information, visit the AIMExpoUSA.com web site, and keep up to date on the continued progress by visiting AIMExpo's social media pages.

Beach Volleyball makes its debut in next year's Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing
Switzerland, August 19, 2013 - The final countdown to next year's Youth Olympic
Games has begun. The second edition of the Games are set to take place from
August 16 to 28, 2014 in the Chinese city of Nanjing and it will be the first time beach
volleyball will be included in the sporting line-up.
While just volleyball made it to the list of sports for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, next year's Games will only feature beach volleyball. The event will be held at the Nanjing Youth Olympic Sport Park alongside a number of other sports including rugby, BMX and hockey. Situated 20 minutes from the centre of the city, construction of the complex is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
Beach volleyball will make its debut at the Youth Olympics next year as it was not included at the inaugural edition of the Games in Singapore in 2010, where only the indoor version of the sport was held.
To celebrate the one-year-to-go mark, the city of Nanjing last night unveiled the OMEGA Countdown Clock.
The Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing will see the participation of over 3,600 athletes and will include 28 Olympic sports.

LISBON, Portugal -- The peaceful retirement of Teresa Dourado is about to be shattered.
The 77-year-old widow raised two children with her husband in their fourth-floor apartment behind Lisbon's Campo Pequeno bull-ring. It has been the family home since 1966. Living alone there now among black-and-white photographs of her children and with her husband's framed paintings, she pays a controlled rent of (EURO)100 ($128) a month. That just about allows her to get by on her monthly pension of (EURO)414.
But Portugal is scrapping its long-standing rent controls in one of the government's most radical economic and social reforms since the ailing country needed a (EURO)78 billion bailout last year, when it was engulfed by Europe's financial crisis. Critics say the anticipated rent hikes from next month could price thousands of families out of their homes. At the very least, the change _ aimed at boosting and modernizing the economy _ will add to the financial burden on those struggling to cope with pay cuts and tax hikes designed to ease the country's crippling debt load.
"I'm already having trouble paying (EURO)100," says Dourado. "I don't want charity. I've worked all my life. I shouldn't have to beg for anything."
The new rent law casts aside protections that date from the early 1900s, and are seen as one of the reasons for Portugal's economic decay. It's all part of a plan to jettison a way of life that has been handcuffed to the past, holding back the dynamism needed to put the nation on the path of growth. The measure, long delayed due to its political toxicity, also illustrates how Europe's financial crisis is snatching away old certainties and expectations _ in this case, over something as basic as having a roof over your head.
The change in rent laws was one of the steps demanded in return for the financial lifeline provided by foreign lenders. They identified rent controls as one of the handicaps keeping Portugal mired in stagnation. Similarly, their insistence on labor reforms is taking away long-standing entitlements, such as jobs for life, which choked development, consigning Portugal to low growth and mounting debt. These are precisely the kinds of measures that have triggered massive protests across Europe in recent years, raising questions about the viability of the European project.
The goal of the new law is to free up rental accommodation, making it easier for workers to seek jobs around the country. It also aims to help people avoid racking up mortgage debt; put prime real estate to more productive uses; encourage owners to renovate buildings that are crumbling because they don't earn enough rent money; and provide work for hard-up construction companies.
Rent controls have long enabled those on a low income to live cheaply in one of western Europe's poorest countries. The minimum salary, earned by more than 600,000 workers, is (EURO)485 ($624) a month before tax. The average salary is around (EURO)800 ($1,030). That compares with the U.S. minimum wage of $1,317 a month and an average monthly wage of $3,500.
Portugal's rent controls aren't unique in Europe. Germany and the Netherlands, for example, also place some modest limits on rent increases. But their laws are nowhere near as old, comprehensive and rigid as in Portugal, where lifelong contracts with minimal, inflation-linked rent hikes have been handed down through generations.
The government says the new law contains safeguards for low earners. Increases in the rents paid by people like Dourado will be limited to between 10-25 percent over the next five years before full liberalization.
Even so, the scale of the threat to many residents is huge. Last year's national census showed about 250,000 families are in houses with old contracts, which will now come up for price review. That's about 1 million people _ or almost 10 percent of the population.
Romao Lavadinho, president of the Lisbon Tenants' Association, has held dozens of public meetings to explain the new law to worried tenants. In one, hundreds of people packed into Lisbon's Sao Jorge cinema on the capital's main avenue.
"People are in a terrible state of anxiety," said Lavadinho, whose association has around 20,000 paying members. It's not just low earners who are nervous, he says _ lawyers, teachers and architects are among those turning up at meetings.
The rent reform hits as Portuguese struggle with other woes.
The cost of living has climbed, even as incomes have fallen sharply due to the country's austerity drive. The sales tax on gas and electricity, for instance, has jumped to 23 percent from 6 percent, leaving people short for other expenses.
A wholesale reassessment of property values by the tax authorities will establish by how much landlords can begin to charge their tenants. Lavadinho notes that step will also hurt the middle class. In apartment blocks along Lisbon's main avenues, he reckons, rents could jump from (EURO)200-300 a month to (EURO)1,000.
The main thrust of the new law is to unfreeze pre-1990 rental contracts. Those contracts still come under a 1910 law that, in the turmoil following the end of the Portuguese monarchy and the establishment of a Republic, sought to contain inflation. It stipulated that the initial rent could be increased only by a government-decreed annual rate, usually just a few percent.
Mindful that there are more tenants than landlords, and eyeing their electoral prospects, governments have long shied away from changing the law to any meaningful extent. The result: 150,000 households currently pay less than (EURO)50 in monthly rent, some of them in prime real estate areas, according to census data.
That is also a key to the mystery of downtown Lisbon's shabby charm. It's a western European capital trapped in 100-year-old laws that deny landlords the income to refurbish decaying buildings. Portugal's National Statistics Institute, in a report last year, bluntly stated the consequences: "Lisbon can be used as a textbook case on how to destroy a city without bombing it," it said.
Luis Menezes Leitao, president of the Lisbon Property Owners' Association, a national body with some 10,000 members, notes that foreigners find the old law hard to believe. Some people in central Lisbon, he says, pay as little as (EURO)5 a month in rent.
"This had to be done sooner or later," Menezes Leitao said of the legal changes. "Economically speaking, it's unsustainable."
Examples of what he calls "a gigantic distortion of the market" are not hard to find.
Susana Paiva's family owns a building on Lisbon's central Rossio square which is partly occupied by a hotel. The building's estimated real estate value is (EURO)4.5 million, which at market prices should bring in about (EURO)30,000 a month in rent. But the 34-room hotel, whose room prices start at around (EURO)150 and rise to almost double that, pays her just (EURO)633 a month. The rental contract dates from 1919.
Paiva has one word to describe that: "ridiculous."
She says the old-fashioned mom-and-pop stores which still abound in the area around her building are surviving only because they pay a handful of euros in rent per month. In effect, landlords are subsidizing businesses, she says.
"Low rents for businesses are pernicious in the 21st century," Paiva said. "It means that the people running them don't need to modernize, find new markets, become more competitive."
By contrast, the Lisbon Commercial Association, which represents the capital's shopkeepers, predicts the new law will bring "dramatic consequences" as stores, suddenly at the mercy of market forces, shut down and add to the country's record unemployment rate of 15.9 percent.
Elsewhere in the center of town, a seven-story apartment building owned by Jose Gago da Graca's family offers another bizarre example.
The tenant in apartment 2E pays (EURO)196 a month rent for a three-bedroom apartment. The occupant of 2D, across the hall, pays (EURO)1,600 a month for an identical second-floor flat.
That's because the elderly widow in 2E has been there since 1962 and her faded blue rental contract guarantees her tenancy in perpetuity, with controls on the initial rent which was the equivalent of (EURO)14. Her neighbor, who recently moved in when the previous occupant moved out, pays the market price.
"It's an absurd situation," Gago da Graca said. "This is a prime, sought-after area."
For Dourado, the elderly widow, times are hard and will likely get harder.
She vows to keep fighting the center-right government's policies, joining street demonstrations that have become almost a weekly event.
"They're not getting me out of here," she says of her home, and adds a dark threat: "If I have to go I'll go through the window, not the door."

Octane ratings
Octane rating indicates a fuel's ability to resist detonation. Therefore, buying the correct octane gas is important to prevent engine "damage".
The RON octane rating is based on the research method. The CLC (U.S. Cost of Living Council octane rating) or AKI (antiknock index) octane rating usually displayed on U.S. fuel pumps is calculated as research octane number plus motor octane number, divided by 2, that is written as:
The CLC or AKI octane rating is usually lower than
the RON rating:
For example: 95 RON equals 90 CLC or AKI.
Fuels containing ethanol
Do not use any fuels containing more than 10 percent ethanol by volume.
We recommend, however, to change to a different
fuel or station if any of the following problems
occur with your vehicle:
– Deterioration of driveability and performance.
– Substantially reduced fuel economy.
– Vapor lock and non-start problems, especially at high altitude or at high temperature.
– Engine malfunction or stalling.
Fuel Evaporation Control
Fuel tank venting
The evaporation chamber and the carbon canister prevent fuel vapors from escaping to the atmosphere at extreme high outside temperatures, when driving abruptly around curves and when the car is parked at an incline or in any other nonlevel position.
Vapor control system and storage
When the fuel tank is filled, vapors are collected in the evaporation chamber by a vent line leading the vapors to the carbon canister where they are stored as long as the engine does not run.
Purge system
When the engine is running, the fuel vapors from the canister will be mixed with fresh air from the ambient air of the canister. This mixture will be directed to the intake air housing by the tank vent line, mixed with the intake air and burned during normal combustion.
Car Care Instructions
Regular and correct care helps to maintain the value of your car and is also a precondition for the New Vehicle Warranty and the Anti Corrosion Warranty.
Your authorized Porsche dealer has specially developed car-care products from the Porsche program available either singly or as complete car-care sets. They will be pleased to help you select suitable products.
Whether you use Porsche products or other commercially available cleaning agents first make sure of their correct application.
A Porsche that is well-cared for can look like new for years. It all depends on the amount of care the owner is willing to give the car.

OAK CREEK, Wis., Aug. 6 (UPI) -- President Obama said Monday he would look at "additional ways to reduce violence" in the wake of the weekend massacre at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee.
But the president stopped short of saying he would call for new gun control.
"We're still awaiting the outcome of a full investigation," he told reporters at the White House. "All of us are heartbroken by what happened."
Obama said such attacks happen with "too much regularity."
The alleged shooter in the deadly attack at a Sikh temple was an Army veteran and a white supremacist, officials said Monday.
Wade Michael Page, 40, was identified as the person who fatally shot six people and wounded three others before being shot and killed by a police officer at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek Sunday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that has studied hate crimes for decades, said Monday there was "no question" Page, a former member of the U.S. military, was a white supremacist and that her group had been tracking him since 2000.
"He was involved in the scene," said Heidi Beirich, director of the center's intelligence project, adding that Page was the leader of a racist white-power band called End Apathy.
Beirich said her group began tracking Page after he tried to buy goods from the National Alliance, a well-known hate group.
However, federal law enforcement officials told NBC News the unidentified suspect had no obvious connection to domestic terror or white-supremacist groups and apparently was not on any list of suspected terrorists.
Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards earlier said he believed the shooting was domestic terrorism -- a designation that implies a political or social agenda.
The Los Angeles Times reported tattoos on the dead suspect and certain biographical details contributed to a possible domestic-terrorism scenario.
"My focus is not on what category it is but what happened and the loss of life," U.S. Attorney James Santelle, who is personally reviewing the Sikh temple massacre, told the Journal Sentinel.
The Journal Sentinel and WTMJ-TV, Milwaukee, reported the shooter was a white male in his 40s, and WTMJ said he had an arrest record for minor offenses.
The Journal Sentinel cited a source who said one firearm was recovered as well as multiple magazines, or ammunition storage and feeding devices. WTMJ said police recovered at least two semiautomatic handguns.
The FBI, which is leading the investigation, investigated a home in Cudahy, Wis., 7 miles northeast of Oak Creek and 2 miles from the Milwaukee border, in relation to the shooting.
Kurt Weins said he rented the property to a man he believed to be from Chicago, the Journal Sentinel reported.
Weins said police told him not to disclose the name of his tenant. He said he didn't find the man's behavior to be suspicious, though he was a bit of a loner.
"I had him checked out and he definitely checked out," Weins said.
Witnesses said the gunman stalked through the 17,000-square-foot temple about 10:30 a.m. Congregants ran for shelter and barricaded themselves in bathrooms, prayer halls and closets, where they made desperate cellphone calls and sent anguished text messages pleading for help.
Those who hid included 20 to 25 women cooking lunch in the basement with five to 10 children, Darshan Dhaliwal, who identified himself as a leader at the temple, told the Journal Sentinel.
The gunman's rampage ended when one of the first police officers to arrive shot and killed him. Another police officer who tried to aid a victim was ambushed by the gunman and shot multiple times, police said.
The wounded officer, a 20-year veteran of the department, was in critical condition but was expected to survive, authorities said.
Edwards said police "stopped a tragedy that could have been a lot worse."
Four bodies were found inside the temple and three outside, including that of the gunman, officials said.
Of the possible motive for the shooting, Ri told the Journal Sentinel, "We have no idea."
The suspect was "not an insider," he said.
Dhaliwal told the newspaper the temple had not been the subject of any recent threats or graffiti.
"This is insanity," he said.
In the United States, where there are an estimated 314,000 Sikhs, Sikhs are sometimes mistaken for Muslims, especially since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Sikhs believe in the equality of humankind, universal human brotherhood and one supreme God.

Andy Murray advances to Olympic semifinals
British hopeful Andy Murray won his quarterfinal on Thursday at the Olympics, delighting a Wimbledon crowd that featured Prince William and wife Kate.india Updated: Aug 02, 2012 20:50 IST
British hopeful Andy Murray won his quarterfinal on Thursday at the Olympics, delighting a Wimbledon crowd that featured Prince William and wife Kate.
Murray, seeded No. 3, became the first men's semifinalist by beating No. 11 Nicolas Almagro of Spain, 6-4, 6-1.
Murray hit 15 aces to one for Almagro and never faced a break point. He had 29 winners and just seven unforced errors.
The Scotsman was runner-up to Roger Federer at Wimbledon in July. His opponent on Friday will be the winner of the quarterfinal between No. 2 Novak Djokovic and No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus advanced to the women's semifinals by beating No. 7 Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-4, 7-5 under the Centre Court roof.
Kerber eliminated Venus Williams on Wednesday, but Azarenka feasted on the left-hander's serve, winning more than half of those points and breaking six times.
Azarenka, who won her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January, seeks her first Olympic medal.
The winner of the event will be a first-time women's singles gold medallist.
Americans Bob and Mike Bryan advanced to doubles semifinals by edging Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram of Israel, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (10).
Neither team managed a service break, and the Bryans sealed the victory on their fourth match point when Erlich double-faulted into the net.
The twins, who are top-seeded, won the bronze in 2008. Both are also entered in mixed doubles. The United States was the only country to still have an entry in all five singles and doubles events.

Soldiers pulled bodies from mud and debris Tuesday after flash flood waters receded in northeastern India's Assam state, where flooding killed 171 people in six days.
GAUHATI, India Soldiers pulled bodies from mud and debris Tuesday after flash flood waters receded in northeastern India's Assam state, where flooding killed 171 people in six days.
"I can confirm 154 dead in the district of Goalpara that came under a sudden wave of flash floods six days ago," said district magistrate Deepak Kumar Goswami on Tuesday.
Elsewhere in Assam, at least 17 people were buried alive by mudslides caused by torrential rains last week, taking the toll to 171 in six days, as unseasonable rains lashed parts of South Asia.
Annual monsoon storms and floods killed 2,208 from June through September throughout the region.
"The devastation has been terrible. Our soldiers are still pulling out bodies from rivers and marshes," said Anup Rana, an army officer engaged in the rescue and relief operations in Assam.
Waters rushing down from the hills of adjoining Meghalaya state caught sleeping villagers by surprise, sweeping away people, huts, cattle, and poultry.
"It came in a flash. The people couldn't react and many were just swept away," rescue worker Babul Das said by telephone in Goalpara, 180 kilometers (110 miles) west of the state capital, Gauhati.
India's Home Minister Shivraj Patil was to visit the flooded areas on Wednesday to determine how much federal aid to give the state.
"We shall be liberal in our relief assistance. I intend on providing cooking utensils and roofing materials to the affected people," Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said Tuesday, a day after he visited the areas, where 200,000 people in 182 villages have been affected.
"We have opened 55 relief camps and are providing rice and lentils, besides kerosene oil," said Goswami, the Goalpara district magistrate.
Hundreds of people are still living under makeshift, plastic-covered huts on the national highway, keeping with them any cattle and poultry they could rescue.
"We are now worried about post-flood disease. But, things are under control so far," Goswami said.

Young newlyweds killed in car crash half a world away
(view original article) Beneath a starry sky, Sosé Thomassian and Allen Yekikian held each other on their wedding night, arms looped around hips, eyes locked, for more than 20 minutes so the photographer could capture what would become their favorite wedding photo.
Back at the wedding reception in a lakeside Armenian town, the photographer showed off the shot and the crowd cooed.
The couple got their wedding, but there will be no first anniversary. About eight months after the wedding, on May 10, Thomassian and Yekikian died in a head-on car crash while on a weekend getaway in Georgia, Armenia's neighbor to the north.
He was 28, she was 30.
News of their deaths shocked the local Armenian community, prompting memorials, including a candlelight vigil at St. Mary's Armenian Apostolic Church in Glendale, YouTube tributes and obituaries in Armenian publications here and abroad.
"They were supposed to grow old together. They were supposed to have kids," said Arek Santikian, a friend of the couple. "They were supposed to teach their kids about what they did and how to live."
The two worked with the Armenian Youth Federation and Armenia Fund, a nonprofit that raises money for infrastructure improvements and humanitarian aid projects in Armenia. Thomassian was instrumental in revamping and running Youth Corps, an Armenian Youth Federation summer program that served nearly 1,000 underprivileged youth from rural Armenia.
They met at an Armenian Youth Federation convention about four years ago. She attended the organization's Orange County chapter, but would often go to events hosted by the La Crescenta chapter, where one of her best friends, Knar Kitabjian, was a member.
Yekikian also was a member. And it was there — not at UCLA, where they both attended — that they grew to know each other.
She watched "Star Trek" for him. He learned how to pronounce the name of French fashion designers for her.
She loved the sweet cards he left for her. He admired her energy and compassion. They both were infatuated with Armenia, where, in August, they were married.
The couple moved to what they called their "homeland" five months later. Repatriating is highly respected in the Armenian community, which was scattered around the globe following the genocide of 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.
"They really believed that they could bring real change in that country," said Caspar Jivalagian, a friend of the couple. "They thought, you know, young fresh blood would help flourish the country."
The two started a blog to share details of their wedding, soseandallen.com, and then another to chronicle their adventures in Armenia, howtomakeitinarmenia.com, which featured political posts about the recent national election, but also lighter fare about searching for uncommon ingredients.
"They were in love, but they also shared a common vision and common goals that were larger than just living what the standard expectation of a newlywed couple was," said Vaché Thomassian, the bride's younger brother.
Yekikian did communications work for the American University of Armenia while Thomassian took classes there to improve her "Eastern" Armenian dialect, which differs from what she learned growing up in California.
There are plans to start a foundation in their names, the Sosé and Allen Legacy Fund, to support education programs and other Armenian repatriates. A Facebook page set up in their name, facebook.com/soseandallen, may soon have more detailed information about the foundation.
More than 2,700 people, some strangers, have already "liked" the page, which Vaché Thomassian said has helped the family deal with its grief. There are baby photos of Thomassian with pigtails, a young Yekikian hugging a stuffed white bear, and then years later, the two embracing each other on their wedding day — the comments have a common theme: the newlyweds died too young.
"It's what's keeping [their mothers] sane, that tribute and that love that's happening," Vaché Thomassian said.
The funeral is scheduled for May 25 at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, with a public memorial service to follow at St. Mary's Armenian Apostolic Church, 500 S. Central Ave.

On New Year's Day, it will be 150 years since Abraham Lincoln set black people free from slavery.
And there is no such thing as black people.
The first of those statements is not precisely true; a clarification will be offered momentarily. The second statement is not precisely false. And the clarification begins here:
It is a clarification needed not simply because it helps us to better understand the milestone of history we commemorate this week, but also because it helps us to better understand America right here in the tumultuous now. The Republican Party, to take an example not quite at random, enters the new year still nursing its wounds after an election debacle most observers laid upon its inability to sway Hispanics, young voters and, yes, black people. Then there is the Trayvon Martin shooting, the mass incarceration phenomenon, the birther foolishness.
A century and a half later, in other words, race is still a story. Black people are still a story.
How can that be, if there is no such thing as black people?
Granted, most of us think otherwise. The average 18-year-old American kid, said historian Matt Wray, thinks of race "as a set of facts about who people are, which is somehow tied to blood and biology and ancestry."
But that kid is wrong. If you doubt that, try a simple challenge: Define "black people."
Maybe you think of it as African ancestry. But Africa is a place on a map - not a bloodline. And, as the example of Charlize Theron, the fair-skinned, blond actress from South Africa, amply illustrates, it is entirely possible to come from there, yet not be what we think of as "black." Indeed, Theron, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2008, is by definition an
African-American. Yet, she fits no one's conception of that term, either.
Or, you might define "black people" by physical appearance: i.e., people with dark skin and coarse hair. If so, consider Gregory Howard Williams, a pale-skinned American educator and author of the memoir Life On The Color Line, who did not learn he was "black" until he was 10. Or consider Walter White, the former executive secretary of the NAACP, whose 1948 autobiography begins: "I am a Negro. My skin is white, my eyes are blue, my hair is blond." Consider the people from India who have dark skin or the ones from Asia, the Middle East or Latin America who have coarse hair.
And perhaps here, you are tempted to throw up your hands and paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart who famously said of pornography that he might not be able to define it, "but I know it when I see it."
The difference is that pornography, at least, exists. But there is no such thing as black people. Or white people. Or Asians. Or Indians.
What is my point? It's simply this: Race is the stupidest idea in history. It is also, arguably, the most powerful. It determines who goes to jail and who goes to college, who gets loans and who gets rejections, who gets the job and who gets the unemployment check. It determines the life you live and the assumptions that are made about you.
A century and a half ago Tuesday, the first Republican president issued the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves. Except that, as most historians will tell you, it didn't actually free anybody. It actually took the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery.
But the one thing Abraham Lincoln's document did do was challenge a nation's understanding of its fundamental social order, its comprehension of the way things were and were meant to be. Getting the nation to think seriously about the concept of black people, free, was, as much as anything, a triumph of imagination.
One hundred fifty years later, getting the nation to understand that there is no such thing as black people will require a similar jolt to hidebound thinking. If and when it comes, perhaps a nation that once freed itself from slavery will finally free itself from race, as well.

DENVER — Garrett Atkins found an good place to steer his career back on track, signing a one-year, $4-million deal with the Baltimore Orioles that includes an $8.5 club option with a $500,000 buyout.
Atkins can make an additional $500,000 in plate appearance bonuses. Atkins struggled with the Rockies last season, losing his starting job to Ian Stewart in the first week of June. In September Atkins began finding his groove again, particularly against left-handed pitching. The Orioles are weighing Atkins' body of work versus one down season. It's to easy to forget that Atkins was one of the most prolific hitting third basemen in the league for four years. Among all free agent third basemen this year, Atkins ranked first in average, hits, total bases and second in home runs.
I figured for weeks that Baltimore made the most sense. The Orioles have available playing time at both third and first, and had tried to trade for Atkins in in the past.

Bob Pettapiece, Wayne State University
Bob Pettapiece grew up in Royal Oak, Michigan. In 1967, he moved to Detroit where he began teaching social studies in the public school system. Bob first became familiar with Worldwatch through the Institute's bimonthly magazine, World Watch. After reading other publications, he gradually became more involved with the Institute and its work. "I enjoyed reading World Watch magazine," he says. "It has a lot of ideas that get people thinking. I guess as a teacher that's what I want people to do: think." Bob joined the Worldwatch Monthly Giving Club a few years ago as a way to easily support a cause he cares deeply about. "Worldwatch gives the thoughts and ideas to provide through education."
