Alright, so a couple of days ago I was talking to a friend of mine in class. And we began to talk about religion. Now I'm far from the kind of person that likes to showcase my views on things, But I told him I was an Atheist. He Actually didn't believe me at first, and said that people have to take a oath to become an atheist. We literally argued about this for 5 whole minutes before I finally said lets go to an computer and get google the definition. after I showed him what atheism actually is, He still retained doubt. I just said forget it, and ended the conversation on it there.
What I'm asking is how long will people remain that ignorant on atheism. It's not like he's dumb when it comes to other topics. He says He's a christian and he never even read the bible. And when I told him and another friend I read it They Laughed. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention one of the guys laughing has a tattoo that says "blessed" on his chest. And he never read the bible. That's just stupid to me, But I kinda want to know what other people think about this.

I would simply say, "You're Christian because Christianity is the religion here. If you were born in India, you'd be a Hindu, in Saudi Arabia a Muslim. People tend to believe the religion of their parents."
Xians will understand atheism when hell freezes over, or when they read the Wholly Babble & become atheists.
when they are finally tired of bullshit hehehe...
I am in the UK where most people are atheist but find that the word 'atheist' is only used by people who have strong feelings about religion. It is seen as challenging and confrontational over here whereas saying 'I don't believe in a god' is not - most of my friends will say this casually. It's as though they claim a cultural identification - 'I don't believe in gods but if I did it would the Christian/Muslim/Hindu one' whereas saying 'I am an atheist' is like denying your culture and identity and standing out. I have found that if, when the subject of religion comes up, I say 'I have no religion' most people will say comfortably 'No, me neither.' but if I say 'I am an atheist' eyes widen slightly and people hesitate before saying something about not being religious themselves. The word is uncomfortable.
Perhaps you could say to people first 'I don't believe in a god' and then later use the term atheist they will actually understand that this is all it means? You have made me think, actually. I think I will start a discussion about this. Hmm
Yes it seems we are always in need for more euphemisms, bullshitting others by bullshitting ourselves.
I'll be diplomatic when the situation calls for it, but I am an Atheist, which for me means that if in any way I can help it, I don't buy bullshit.
For us it's easy to be Atheists, we should be the last ones to behave like that. It would almost feel like betrayal to me.
You're right, it is a confrontational word - atheist, but I love it. I'm 85 & escaped Catholicism over 66 years ago. Didn't really 'go public' with my disbelief until I retired. (Business reasons ), but family & close friends knew. Just about the whole world needs to examine these primitive / absurd beliefs, then toss them aside.
That is so naive. Yeah, your perception is faulty. When I was a 20 year old atheist (I'm almost 65 now), it was not a "young people thing." Even WAY back then. I'm guessing you don't know all that many well-educated older people outside of perhaps your extended family.
You went through an evolution, Joseph. If only all people were able to evolve as you have.
Having been born into a Mormon family, I still don't know why some of us escape the brainwashing and some don't. But there is family, societal and church pressure to accept the myths. There is fear of rejection if you don't accept. And we all know that there are 2 requisites for being elected to the US presidency, being a Christian (or at least claiming to be) and being married to someone of the opposite sex.
Most of people who believe in god have probably not read bible. They are preached filtered down version of bible peppered with inspiring and motivating quotes. This is done by parents, preachers since peoples childhood. Even if you point out these verses religion has built up so much good will over the years people refuse to see it....
Not only have many Christians not read their bible, many become Atheists BECAUSE they read the bible. It was like that for myself, my room mate, one of her friends and quite a few other people I have met over the years. I find that there is a common theme: Christians looking for answers goes to the bible. Christian discovers the bible is actually full of some pretty awful stuff (usually counter to what they have been taught about god). Unable to reconcile the god they felt they knew, with the god described in the bible, they begin their flight from faith.
All we can do is stand up, be who we are and show the world through example that we are decent people. One of the most interesting (and oddly common) reactions I get to telling people about my Atheism is "but you're such a good person!" They just can't fathom the idea of anybody being good without a god. I think the bible does get a few things right here and there. I must say that the idea that "they will know us by our works" is good advice. Being a positive face of Atheism is very important.
Thumbs up for this well written opinion.

A hit-and-run motorcyclist who pleaded guilty to striking a 4-year-old boy on the day of his birthday party and fleeing the scene was sentenced to time served and five years of probation on Monday.
Ernest Jonas plead guilty to operating his motorcycle recklessly and fleeing from the May crash that left Tyrell Baymon with a fractured skull and a serious brain injury. He will be released on "time served with good behavior" after spending less than three months behind bars.
The Baymon family told FOX 9 News they were disgusted by what they called a "light" sentence.
"It's stupid," said Maria Scroggins, Baymon's mother. "It's stupid to me. They need to change the law."
Scroggins was fuming as she left the courtroom on Monday afternoon.
"It's a joke. They don't know what I've been through with my baby, dealing with him," she said. "They don't know what my family has been through."
On May 19, Scroggins was holding her son's hand outside her family's St. Paul home as the family readied themselves for Tyrell Baymon's birthday. They were on their way to his party when Jonas came tearing through the neighborhood, struck the boy an sent him flying through the air.
"I still go through shock every day. I close my eye, I see the impact of what happened," Andre Scroggins, the victim's uncle, told FOX 9 News. "It was a tragedy."
Witnesses told FOX 9 News that Jonas had been popping wheelies before the crash and frequently drove recklessly in the area despite having no license and several traffic-related offenses.
Jonas pled guilty to two counts of criminal vehicular operation, but since he had no previous criminal record, Minnesota sentencing guidelines called for no prison time. Though prosecutors asked for a year in the Ramsey County jail, the judge opted for 120 days. Since he has been unable to post bail for the past two and a half months, the 25-year-old will be released thanks to credit for time served with good behavior.
Now, the victim's family is wondering if he will learn anything without a harsh punishment.
"You hit a kid," Marcia Scroggins said. "Do a couple of months in jail and you're out on probation. That sucks."
Ramsey County Attorney John Choi told FOX 9 News that this case where the negligent behavior involved could one day lead to a change in the law.
"We have these guidelines for a reason: To make sure people around the state of Minnesota are treated equally in the courtroom," he said.
Baymon's family certainly hopes it will one day.
"Get on the website. Call, call, call. Make the change," Marcia Scroggins urged.

Products Made from Waste Tires
Tire-Derived Products (TDP)
There's a second life waiting for California's waste tires. Across the state, companies are producing products made from recycled tires that fulfill a wide range of needs, and have been proven to be safe, durable and smart investments. Tire-derived products (TDP) can satisfy established technical testing standards for building construction, traffic control, paving and many other applications, while offering many unique performance benefits. Many TDP vendors provide documentation on recycled content or other benefits that can help to satisfy green building requirements such as the new CALGreen regulations, or to earn credits through programs such as LEED. Information on TDP health and environmental impacts is also available.

Back to Skewl (aka Don't Call it a Comeback, I've Been Here for YEARS)
I started courses for my grad program this week. It feels fucking good to be a student again. It really took me taking a year off to realize how much I missed going to class (not just to teach) and to be on that learningstudyingreading vibe. Already there is a pile of readings waiting for me. It all needs to be done, but I feel like I have to pause and reflect on this moment in the beginning of my journey.
I'm excited, hopeful, I feel ready to get to work! In saying that, I want to make sure that I keep my purposeful intentions constantly on check and keep the productivity at a steady/healthy pace.
A few things that I've committed to myself in entering the master's program:
-Be organized. Record everything, keep to-do lists and follow-through
-Balance work and home life. In the past, I found myself putting too much energy into work and neglected time with family and friends. I want to put in the extra effort to be engaging and present within all the spaces I consider important.
-Pack food! I will attempt to bring healthy and delicious "baon" everyday I am on campus. I will allow myself to buy a caffeinated beverage or other treats once a week.
-Werk! In terms of getting my shit done and still lookin' cute. It just struck me while I was going to my first class that, damn…I am living out my dream. Not many know what they want to pursue or even have the opportunity. I feel so blessed to have the chance to do this. "Work like your life depends on it." Not just work, but bringing out your BEST work. "Strive to do your best in all you do so no one can say shit to you." So WERK!
-Be humble. During grad orientations, the second year cohort came by to do a round table discussion of their experience in the program. When giving out advice someone said, "You may have been the most knowledgeable student in your undergrad classes that knew all the answers. Don't come into seminars thinking that—there will be others smarter than you, especially at this level. Come in to the space with the attitude that you just want to learn and improve your research/knowledge/skills."
-Accept that there will be difficult points and struggle, but there's also joy and hope in the work being done.
-FUCKIN' read, read, READ.
-Reflect. As much as it's important to be submerged in work, I want to also make an effort to record my process and experience— the up's and down's—especially on here.

The Beast by Ferarri Boy on 01/04/2004. Trim: 2003 Ferrari 456M GTA, Owned 1 year.
Pros: This car is unbelievable,I had it upto 180mph in Nevada,,,,,I backed off....more to go on the gas but not for me.It held the road like glue..I couldn't feel the speed..it felt more like 120 mph.The styling is fantastic.My buddy is getting the new Bentley and wants to run me in Nevada ..A track is best for this...these cars are in a class by themselves.I got the extended warranty and that's the question I have for the future but alot of quality has gone into the car.I was getting a slight brake shutter at 140mph but the dealer adjusted the rotors.This car attracts fools in Mustangs for some reason...a joke to even bother with except the Cobra ,,,thats pretty fast.
Cons: This car costs alot and the price is crazy.I like to see the car have a 5 year warranty covering everything and for this price it should.The interior dash material could be abit softer material although it is of high quality.The Italians know how to build great cars among other things.I wish GM could make a car this good looking at a reasonable price.I probably should if went for the Vette which is a heck of the car and a bargain.The ZO6 will give this car a race and for the differance in price the choice is questionable but a Ferarri is a Ferarri and one has to pay for it.This car will do 200mph but where is the question....I backed off at 180.
Overall review: If one can afford this car ..go for it with the extended warranty.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A 24-year-old man has been charged with felony animal mistreatment, after he allegedly killed his goat in front of his co-workers outside a plant in Sun Prairie.
Phillip Pardee, whose address is listed as Niagara in far northeast Wisconsin, is free on a signature bond. The status of his case is scheduled to be reviewed at a July 21st conference in Dane County Circuit Court.
Media reports said Pardee did not have a place to keep the goat while he was working at the Madison-Kipp Sun Prairie plant -- and the animal escaped from a crate inside the building.
He reportedly struck the animal's head against a curb, after his bosses told him he could not keep the goat inside the factory.

As we enter the Lenten Season on March
5 we once
again are reminded of the themes of Lent. The Lenten Season has had a
long and meaningful tradition in the Christian church. It has meant the
six weeks before Good Friday and Easter morning, a time when we are
reminded of the pain and suffering which Jesus went through for us.
But, the main purpose of Lent really has little to do Easter or Holy
Week. Lent is a time of preparation and self-examination. It is to be a
time when we rid ourselves of the earthly relation to our God. The
reason for this all for self-examination is very simple to explain.
Unless we have examined ourselves and presented to God our need for
mercy and forgiveness, there is the possibility we will react as the
disciples did on that fateful night before Jesus' crucifixion. The
disciples at the time were filled with fear and self-doubt; they feared
for their own lives and had little concern for Jesus or his fate.
We, who would follow Christ, take pride
like Peter
that we would follow Jesus anywhere, even to death. But, would we?
After all, aren't our lives here on earth our most valued possession
and would we not claim it above all other concerns? What claim does
Jesus have on us? He has called us to follow Him. Are we prepared to
follow? How far?
What demands are we willing
to meet in
following? These are the types of questions we must ask ourselves
during the Lenten Season. And not just to ask, but with God's guidance
to seek out the answers and through God's Holy Spirit and His Church to
begin to live the answers as we follow our Lord - even to the Cross -
just remember what comes after the Cross!!!<

Heat exhaustion
This condition occurs following heavy sweating and excessive fluid loss with inadequate replacement of fluids and salt, and is particularly common in hot climates when taking unaccustomed exercise before full acclimatisation. Symptoms include headache, dizziness and tiredness. Dehydration is already happening by the time you feel thirsty – aim to drink sufficient water to produce pale, diluted urine. Self-treatment: fluid replacement with water and/or fruit juice, and cooling by cold water and fans. The treatment of the salt-loss component consists of consuming salty fluids such as soup, and adding a little more salt to foods than usual.
Heat exhaustion is a precursor to the much more serious condition of heatstroke. In this case there is damage to the sweating mechanism, with an excessive rise in body temperature; irrational and hyperactive behaviour; and eventually loss of consciousness and death. Rapid cooling by spraying the body with water and fanning is ideal. Emergency fluid and electrolyte replacement is usually also required by intravenous drip.
Insect bites & stings
Mosquitoes might not always carry malaria or dengue fever, but they (and other insects) can cause irritation and infected bites. To avoid these, take the same precautions as you would for avoiding malaria. Use DEET-based insect repellents. Excellent clothing treatments are also available - mosquitoes that land on treated clothing will die.
Bee and wasp stings cause real problems only to those who have a severe allergy to the stings (anaphylaxis.) If you are one of these people, carry an EpiPen – an adrenaline (epinephrine) injection, which you can give yourself. This could save your life.
Sandflies are found near many African beaches. They usually only cause a nasty itchy bite but can carry a rare skin disorder, cutaneous leishmaniasis. Prevention of bites with DEET-based repellents is sensible.
Scorpions are frequently found in arid or dry climates. They can cause a painful bite that is sometimes life-threatening. If you are bitten by a scorpion, seek immediate medical assistance.
Bed bugs are often found in hostels and cheap hotels. Bites lead to very itchy, lumpy skin. Spraying the mattress with crawling-insect killer then changing the bedding will get rid of them.
Scabies is also frequently found in cheap accommodation. These tiny mites live in the skin, particularly between the fingers. They cause an intensely itchy rash. The itch is easily treated with malathion and permethrin lotion from a pharmacy; other members of the household also need treatment to avoid spreading scabies, even if they do not show any symptoms.
Snake bites
Basically, avoid getting bitten! Do not walk barefoot, and don't stick your hand into holes or cracks. However, 50% of those bitten by venomous snakes are not actually injected with poison (envenomed). If bitten by a snake, do not panic. Immobilise the bitten limb with a splint (such as a stick) and apply a bandage over the site, with firm pressure – similar to bandaging a sprain. Do not apply a tourniquet, or cut or suck the bite. Get medical help as soon as possible so antivenom can be given if needed.
Never drink tap water unless it has been boiled, filtered or chemically disinfected (such as with iodine tablets). Never drink from streams, rivers and lakes. It's also best to avoid drinking from pumps and wells – some do bring pure water to the surface, but the presence of animals can still contaminate supplies.
Traditional medicine
At least 80% of the African population relies on traditional medicine, often because conventional Western-style medicine is too expensive, because of prevailing cultural attitudes and beliefs, or simply because in some cases it works. It might also be because there's often no other choice – a World Health Organization survey found that there is one medical doctor for every 70,000 people in Kenya, but a traditional healer for every 250 people.
Although some traditional African remedies seem to work on illnesses such as malaria, sickle cell anaemia, high blood pressure and some AIDS symptoms, most African healers tend to learn their art by apprenticeship, so education (and consequently the application of knowledge) is inconsistent and unregulated.
Rather than attempting to stamp out traditional practices, or simply pretend they aren't happening, a positive step taken by Kenya is the regulation of traditional medicine by creating healers' associations and offering courses on such topics as sanitary practices. It remains unlikely in the short term that even a basic level of conventional Western-style medicine will be made available to all the people of Africa. Traditional medicine will almost certainly continue to be practised widely.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Blood clots can form in the legs during flights, chiefly because of prolonged immobility. This formation of clots is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and the longer the flight, the greater the risk. Although most blood clots are reabsorbed uneventfully, some might break off and travel through the blood vessels to the lungs, where they could cause life-threatening complications. The chief symptom of DVT is swelling or pain of the foot, ankle or calf, usually but not always on just one side. When a blood clot travels to the lungs, it could cause chest pain and breathing difficulty. Travellers with any of these symptoms should immediately seek medical attention. To prevent the development of DVT on long flights you should walk about the cabin, perform isometric compressions of the leg muscles (e.g. contract the leg muscles while sitting), drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol.
Jet lag and motion sickness
If you're crossing more than five time zones you could suffer jet lag, resulting in insomnia, fatigue, malaise or nausea. To avoid jet lag try drinking plenty of fluids (non-alcoholic) and eating light meals. Upon arrival, get exposure to natural sunlight and readjust your schedule (for meals, sleep etc) as soon as possible. Antihistamines are usually the first choice for treating motion sickness. Their main side effect is drowsiness. A herbal alternative is ginger (in the form of tea, biscuits or crystals).
Sanitary protection
You can buy tampons and pads in most cities and major towns from pharmacies or supermarkets. Prices are about the same as in Europe (from where they're imported) but you seldom have a choice of type or brand. They're rarely found in shops away from the main towns, so you might want to bring supplies if you're travelling further afield.

Kentucky State Police Telecommunications Academy Graduates Second Class
Date of News Release: 04/25/2013
(Frankfort, KY) -- Eleven Kentucky State Police telecommunicators from throughout the commonwealth were recognized today at graduation ceremonies for the second class of the agency's telecommunications academy.
"Throughout the state, KSP telecommunicators are the 'heroes behind the headsets' who provide a lifeline to both citizens in need and officers in the field," says KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "They serve as an unseen, but vital link in keeping law enforcement officers and the public safe at all times of the day or night. They work odd hours, make personal sacrifices, handle a huge amount of stress and are ready and willing to help at a moment's notice."
Representing the KSP Headquarters Communications Center and six agency posts, the group began its studies on March 11 at KSP headquarters in Frankfort. The course provided 194 hours of instruction during a five-week period. The curriculum included subjects such as legal liability and limits of telecommunicator authority, the telecommunicator's role in public safety, interpersonal communications, customer service, interaction with the news media, stress, ethics and confidentiality, responder safety, basic fire dispatch, state emergency operations plans and criminal justice information systems, cardio pulmonary resuscitation, first aid training, emergency medical dispatch and special needs callers.
The final week of the academy included training on computer-aided dispatch and other databases. To complete the course, the telecommunicators were required to successfully process scripted calls for service and demonstrate proficiency in obtaining pertinent information, dispatching responders, providing emergency medical dispatch if needed and correctly documenting information from the call for service.
The graduates of the second KSP Telecommunications Academy included:
Leeanna McNece, of Lexington, KSP Headquarters Communications Center
Zackary Dunigan, of Mayfield, KSP Post 1-Mayfield
Cheryl Nolan, of Bowling Green, KSP Post 3-Bowling Green
Deana Janette Owens, of Glasgow, KSP Post 3-Bowling Green
Jakop Smith, of Belton, KSP Post 3-Bowling Green
Benita Blanton, of Morehead, KSP Post 8-Morehead
Megan Childress, of Elkhorn City, KSP Post 9-Pikeville
Michael Coleman, of Pikeville, KSP Post 9-Pikeville
Derek McGarey, of Eastern, KSP Post 9-Pikeville
Justin Farley, of Harlan, KSP Post 10-Harlan
April Taylor, of Sebree, Post 16-Henderson
According to Charlotte Tanner, training coordinator for Kentucky State Police telecommunicators, working in today's emergency services communications center requires a number of qualities and characteristics that are absolutely imperative.
"One, a person must be able to work under very stressful, challenging conditions. They have to be able to deal with a roller coaster ride of very serious calls coming in and then routine calls and back to very serious calls with very little notice."
They must also be very flexible with their time, she says. "Our personnel have to staff the communications center 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It requires them to be away from their families a lot. It requires them to give up some social gatherings they probably would like to be attending. They must be dependable, reliable and be where we need them when we need them. We have to be able to count on them."
"They must have empathy," she continues. "They need to have empathy for what people are experiencing when they call in. We deal a lot with children and our personnel need to be able to adjust how they handle a call based upon the person they are talking to."
Technology plays a big role, she explains. "The technology we use in our communications center is something that is changing every day. Our people have to be able to stay current. They must be able to learn and adapt as the job dictates."
Her advice to those who may be considering the field as a career? "You need to think very long and hard about whether you are willing to make the sacrifices you have to make. You have to spend time away from your family. You have to work weekends and holidays. With all the continuing training required, there is a big investment of time and you need to be sure you can make the commitment."
"To be honest, it's not a job for everyone," concludes Tanner. "It is stressful and challenging and some people simple can't deal with the types of calls and the types of deadly incidents that we have to handle."

Janssen Biotech, Inc. is sponsoring an advanced prostate cancer research study. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational drug plus prednisone to determine if there is a decrease in Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA).
The study will also evaluate whether this combination prolongs the time until it is evident that the cancer has spread. Additionally, safety information will be collected. This will include looking at what side effects occur, how often they occur, and for how long they last. You may be eligible for the study if you:
- Are eighteen years of age or older
- Have been diagnosed with prostate cancer
- Are currently receiving, and have had continuous therapy with, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) monotherapy for at least 6 months or have undergone surgical removal of the testicles

Baltimore, MDUSA 21211
January 1, 2011
Intermediate. I guess I'm a good intermediate. I haven't done much to get better in the last 20 years, so I'm looking for an opportunity to play with others and pick up some pointers and tricks.
On Line. I found the Baltimore Bluegrass group first and the Guitarist Group is on their bulletin board.
Martin VHD-28 custom.
Maybe an acoustic/electric bass guitar. No model specifically identified.
Chet Atkins, Tony Rice, Dan Timinski, Doc Watson.
I've played guitar for over 40 years, in Church and small gatherings. Mostly around the house. I'd like to play with other players as a way to expand my repertoire and playing knowledge.
It has some really good stuff going on... I don't do open mic's because I can't remember the words! Ha Ha... maybe someday.
Welcome to BGG Dale. You've got the right idea, I'm amazed how much I've learned just by playing with others. We've got quite a few members in common with the Bluegrass group.

Fargo firefighters say a leaking furnace almost lead to a tragedy in north Fargo Wednesday morning.
Fire crews were called to a home on the 1500 block of north University just after 7:00 am when the people inside called 911 to report the smell of natural gas.
Firefighters found high-readings of carbon monoxide inside in the home. While in the lower level they had to wake up a man who was sleeping and were able to get him out.
The home is split into 2 apartments. A total of 5 people live there and everyone was able to get out safely.
Investigators say they discovered a leak from the furnace. The people in the home had just turned on the furnace Wednesday morning.
Fire crews are now working to get the gas out of the home. They say this is a good reminder to have your furnace checked out by an expert before you turn it on for the winter.

Pedagogical uses of reflection
November 13, 2012, 12-2 pm
|Presented by
|Adrienne Alaie-Petrillo
|Yang Hu
(School of Education)
Reflection has come to be widely recognized as an integral element in teaching and learning. In course assignments, class discussions, and ePortfolios, reflection is often used for a range of purposes—from examining one's own learning to questioning assumptions. In this interactive session, we will explore why and how reflection can foster growth. In particular, we will address these questions.
- How do students benefit from self-reflection?
- How do professors benefit from students' reflections?
- How do we encourage and improve the quality of students' reflection?
Adrienne Alaie teaches the 700 student introductory biology course Principles of Biology I and II.· She will discuss strategies she employs to try to promote reflection in the laboratory classroom, and to the extent possible, in the setting of the large lecture format.
Yang Hu teaches courses in writing methods and literacy assessment in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching, as well as coordinating the Masters in Literacy Program. She will discuss strategies she uses to infuse reflection in assignments, in class discussions, as well as in ePortfolios. She will share examples of students' reflection to illustrate ways in which reflection can foster ownership of learning, increase learners' self-confidence, widen perspective, and result in transformation. Participants are encouraged to discuss and share how they might infuse reflection in their practice.

Are we on the brink of creating a human-like digital mind?
The human brain contains some 100 billion neurons, grouped in specialized function zones, connected by a hundred thousand billion synapses - the neurons representing individual data processing and storage units; and synapses the data transfer cabling, connecting all the processing units.
Correlating its processing ability to a supercomputer, it's been estimated it can perform more than 38 thousand trillion operations per second, and hold about 3.6 million gigabytes of memory. Equally impressive, it's estimated that the human brain executes this monumental computational task on a mere equivalent of 20 watts of power; about the same energy to power a single, dim light bulb. In today's technology, a supercomputer designed to deliver comparable capabilities would require roughly 100 megawatts (100 million watts) of power; an energy equivalent that could fully satisfy the power consumption needs of roughly a thousand households.
An ambitious $1.3 billion project was very recently announced in Europe to simulate a human mind in the form of a complete human brain in a supercomputer. It's named the Human Brain Project. A similar project in the U.S. planned by National Institutes of Health (NIH) is called the Brain Activity Map project.
Assuming we learn enough from these efforts to design a new architecture in computer processing which can approximate the ability of the human brain - what's to stop us from creating the cognitive faculties that enable consciousness, thinking, reasoning, perception, and judgement? After all, we as human beings develop these abilities from data we acquire over time through sensory inputs connecting us to our experiences, and from information communicated to us by others.
Think about it. Is there anything related to our experience - be it physical, historical or conceptual - that cannot be described in language, and therefore be input as executable data and programming to create a human-like digital mind?

Mar 18 2013: Well it is a convenient thought to separate all that we are, all that we know of from this small piece of fatty tissue inside our skull that can barely even wiggle (and no, your brain doesn't actually wiggle when you think XD). But the fact is, we are who we are! Our mind is what our brain supports. This is a scientific fact almost every single psychologist will agree with me, without the brain, our minds don't exist at all, there's nothing beyond that.
For example, you say the brain is not capable of memory, although we can't prove what memory is or how it's stored, but at least we can say that after removing a part of the physical brain (the hippocampus), people can lose either ability to remember! That's not saying that the little piece of brain we remove is exactly like a hard drive that you can stick into somebody else, but it should at least say that even things like memory is manifested through the brain.
Besides what do we know about our mind anyway? There is no way we can understand how our ind works by simply thinking, cuz that's obviously part of the paradigm of our mind itself. But at least the very least the conclusion is: science claims that thoughts originate from the brain, science is right. (where else can it come from??)

Mar 18 2013: Ok I really do not wish to turn this into a debate of whether or not a "soul" exists. To be honest I am not sure myself but the thing is, how can you prove such a thing? Take your table example, you say I turn the lights off and claim that the table doesn't exist anymore, but the thing is, Does it?? If there is no way to access something, does it mean it still exists? If it does, how do you know?
You can say that the table still exists because you can always turn the lights back on or use some other ways of detection, but what if you can't? What if, like you said, you remove the light bulb and that's it? You're never going to find that table again, then it this case it technically doesn't exist? At least that's true in the field of physics and computer science...
Mar 18 2013: Hi, Chris !
I would suggest you to listen to Rupert Sheldrake's talk "The Science Delusion" , while it is available on the page of open discussion.
Dogma 7, 8..you may start from 04.05 mark.
Hope you'll enjoy this brilliant talk !

Mar 18 2013: Haha you do like to pull latin words a lot don't you, but the truth is latin doesn't prove anything, simply because a word has a certain roots in latin doesn't have any meaning on the actual significance of the word. Latin's meaning comes from cultures long ago, and that, is what I call backwards. Are you saying that the Romans are more advanced than us in scientific knowledge?
And you know what you right, my apologies for simply skimming through your argument and assumed that you used the same boring analogy of a table....that was my mistake, let me adopt your way of quote every single line i seem to write (that's really not nessesary by the way).
"If you turn on a table lamp and then remove the bulb from the lamp, it doesn't affect the electricity, it simply affects the element through which electricity is manifested. "
Ok first of all if you have any knowledge of electrical enginnering or just simple common sense, you will realize that electricity actuallys Stops flowing once the circuit is broken by removing the lamp, if it's still running something is going to fry :). But of course that's not your argument, what you are saying is that electricity can exist without a lightbulb showing that "hey! i'm here!". But my question is the same, does it?
The world exists in our mind only as our perception of the world. Let me take a more famous example, how do you know that the world doesn't fall apart whenever you are not looking and come back together whenever you do? You don't know, that's the problem, because our knowledge of existence goes only to what we can perceive, it doesn't go beyond that.
Mar 18 2013: continued:
So in this sense, taking the lightbulb out not only stops the flow of electricity (as a matter of fact), it also makes it impossible for us to detect the electricity (theoretically of course, there are many other ways but that's not of the argument), thus the electricitiy seize to exist.
That's the same for our soul, what exists is what we can see, and my proof is simple, I put a bullet in your brain, you will seize all acitivty at once (please don't try this at home XD). This is direct evidence that our brain governs behavior. Now, your turn to prove the existence of a soul in us. Can you take it away? Is there any visible evidence that such as thing exists? Pull out some facts and evidence, let's see what there is.
And about you directly attack the notion of science now....I really have no comment on it since you didn't even make an argument and even if you did I don't think it's that relevant to the topic. To be honest I think science is a load of bull most of the time, but that doesn't mean we shuoldn't disrespect it.

Mar 23 2013: Good day Chris,
I agree with everything but the memory part. I think memory is stored in our whole body and that we actually think and store memory in our physical body. Its the hand that tells you to move when its close to a flame, the brain is the processor. But it is also instinctual the trick I feel is to get the whole body to think and react instinctively much like how a tennis player doesn't actually see the tennis ball when they are hitting it. If we did not store our personal memory on the physical body there would be no separation of what is you personal memory and what is mine.
"but the brain does not generate or store anything. It receives and transmits a constant loop from the mind to the body and from the body to the mind. It is incapable of generating thought or storing memory, as these are aspects of the mind, not the brain."
If I could I would like to substitute mind for light/energy. II think the light/mind carry's , stores and "burns" the information onto the cells. Check out this ted talk, he talks about how actual cell vibrate when asked a question.
This is from another ted convo about language:( I even quoted you) Everything is movement….everything. The earth wobbles which the mayan knew about, is that language? The earth spins is that language? Then is rotates around the sun, is that language? When the sun shines on the earth the earth actually gives back information. Topography of the celestial bodies could and can be seen as written language with the sun acting like a cd player reading and writing on to the celestial bodies(including self( ever hear of a thing called enlightenment)), could this be seen as written language absolutely. And is most likely how information is stored on a universal level.
Mar 23 2013: ( "Where does it get mass from?"
As I understand it, when a wave is observed, it becomes a point; this is how mass is created.~ Chris Kelly )
Since waves are movement and movement creates mass and language, this just refers back to the idea that mass/language is a external representation of an internal process "a thought/language/lexicon" place holder.
What would we be holding into place? Existence, why because it is real if it wasn't that would mean the gods are not real either and they are just as real as the reality that is around. All gods exist if man has put belief or faith into them then they are real. Its man's/gods belief in other that makes all of this real. Now have things certainly got lost in translation absolutely.
Ever hear someone say that the room is spinning, well truthfully it is spinning its actually really odd that it does not always feel this way.
Or if I drop a pen did it fall straight down? Everybody says yes, the guy who asked the questions say no it actually moved x distance to the left. But thats wrong as well because he and we also moved x distance to the left at the same time
…..On a side note language was created to give man something to complain about ;)
Humbly Casey
Also would enjoy your mind on this convo

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office plans to appeal a federal judge's ruling that Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies racially profiled Latinos in their immigration information.
Arpaio's lawyers filed a notice of appeal Friday with the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
U.S. District Judge Murray Snow ruled last month that Arpaio's office systematically singled out Latinos in its immigration patrols and deputies unreasonably prolonged the detentions of people who were pulled over.
After the court's ruling late last month, Arpaio said he would change the department's immigration enforcement and abide by the federal judge.
"You know, as sheriff I uphold the law. The court's order is clear. We will no longer detain persons believed to be in the country without authorization whom we cannot arrest on state charges. I have already instructed my deputies," Arpaio said last month.
The notice of appeal lists seven specific issues the Sheriff's Office is challenging in Snow's May 24 ruling, which came more than eight months after a seven-day, non-jury trial in Phoenix.
Immigrants who were in Arizona's most populous country illegally accounted for 57 percent of the 1,500 people arrested in the 20 sweeps conducted by MCSO since January 2008.

Codenamed "Honeycomb", the software is focused on revamping the mobile operating system for use on tablet devices.Among the improvements to suit a larger screen size are refined multitasking, a new notifications sytem, a 3D makeover for the homescreen and more interactive widgets. Google eBooks is included, too -- which is Google's attempt to become a player in the still-small e-book reader market. Its e-reader client includes nifty page-flip animations.There are also a number of upgrades to the browser to make it more like Chrome, including tabbed browsing, form auto-fill, and sync with your Chrome bookmarks. The Gmail app gets a revamp with several panes, so that it's easier to read your emails, and YouTube gets a redesign, displaying a massive wall of videos to scroll through. There are also all the upgrades included in Gingerbread, which haven't yet rolled out to the vast majority of Android handsets yet.Android 3.0 Honeycomb will likely be arriving within the next month or two. There are no firm dates on the table just yet, but from the looks of the video, it seems that the majority of the new features are in place and the Android team is focusing on polish and bug fixes. We'll keep you posted.In the meantime, we'd be interested to hear from you. Could an Android tablet tempt you away from your iPad? Or have you been avoiding the iPad entirely because you want an Android tablet instead? Tell us in the comments below. Duncan Geere is a senior staff writer at Wired.co.uk. He can be found on Twitter at @DuncanGeere. Follow Wired at @WiredUK Edited by Olivia Solon Comments I've been holding off from getting an iPad because I both wanted to see what Android was going to do in the tablet space, and because I wanted to see what iPad 2 was going to bring with it.If manufacturers can knock out decent Android 3.0 tablets at a price point that competes head-to-head with the iPad, then I might get one.The Motorola Xoom looks like a really good start though - possibly the first ever Motorola product that I might actually consider buying (again, assuming that they don't go the Samsung route and price it so high that it will never compete with the market-defining iPad). Andy Hawkes Jan 6th 2011 Really looking forward to this, all I hope is that it comes with stock Google Gingerbread instead of a terrible version modified beyond recognition by the manufacturer which ultimately kills battery and slows screen response time to an annoying crawl. I'm looking at you Samsung! Sam Meek Jan 6th 2011 At the end of the day, the ipad is still the market leader. This is impart due to the fact that it runs the sleek iOS that everyone is familiar with already, but mainly because it has the 400,000+ apps that the Apple app store contains, all of which are polished to design perfection and all of which are the constant talk of tech-savvy reviewers such as Appvee and The Guardian's "Plannet of the Apps".Until Android packs the same level of content as Apple devices the Galaxy Tab and variations thereupon will never steal the iOS throne.Having said that, Apple's policy of holding back potential product features such as front facing cameras- (and in the famous iphone 3g case: a simple video camera), so that they have something to give future models- is allowing competitors such as Google to steer the consumer's attention to products such future models of the Galaxy tab.But as Apple prepares to release the ipad 2- rumoured to have more features than anything else on the market, we may see the spotlight remain fixed on Apple's super-stylish and user friendly iproducts- with the ipad at the top of every tablet consumers wish list. Jamie C Jan 6th 2011 Ugly.I just don't like flea-market knockoffs.. It's "Puck Man" to Apple's Pac Man.Android suffers from the same fate as the Linux desktop effort -- In perpetually trying to mimic the competition, they resign themselves to perpetual second place standing. It lacks polish, and it shows. Watch the video, particularly when they're scrolling vertically down a webpage. You can see scrolling artifacts on the sides near the bottom of the screen. That tells me the browser isn't doublebuffering it's display, which tells me 1 of 3 things:..either the hardware is too weak, or a programmer at Google isn't doing their job, or they simply don't care about appearance. If you're going to put that kind of money down on a gadget, you might as well get the real thing.. not the flea-market version. foo bar Jan 7th 2011 I'm pumped about the new tablets coming this year. I have an Ipad but not impressed. Lots of apps but they're so fragmented - need twenty apps to do what my pc program does in one and they're not interconnected. The killer tablet for me will be the one that offers a real Office alternative that business users can use on the road (mainly outlook, excel, and powerpoint - note that outlook emails are almost like word docs so integrate the 2 systems for me please and cut out one unnessary application). I'd like to use my tablet on the road, and then plug it into a docking station and have a keyboard for faster typing. JackSprat Jan 7th 2011 When I saw the iPad I really wanted one. However, I am not keen on mac and its lack of compatibility. I have an Android phone and love it, so as I saw the Honeycomb I knew this was the tablet I wanted! Hurry with release and make it more reasonable in price compared to the iPad.

Spinward Fringe Is The Best Sci-Fi Book Series You've Never Heard Off
I don't get very excited these days when it comes to reading science fiction (or fantasy) as it seems that authors are more interested in spreading their story over as many trilogies as they possibly can when really a good single book would have been the real winner.
I've lost count of the number of books that I've started to read but by the second or third installment of some massive tome of pages I'm typically bored to tears or feeling lost in pointlessness of even trying to read anymore. It's gotten to the point that I don't even bother anymore picking up a book if there is the slightest hint that it's the beginning of yet another stupid trilogy.
That said, and like with most things, I have discovered the exception to my own rule and it is a sci-fi series by fellow Canuck (yay!) Randolph Lalonde called Spinward Fringe.
It's been a very long time since I have stumbled upon a series of books that has so totally captivated me as Lalonde has with his books. Starting with Spinward Fringe Broadcast 0 Origin through to the newest release (which I haven't read yet) Spinward Fringe Broadcast 7 Framework he has created a universe of characters, worlds, and events that carries you through his books in a way that makes it impossible to walk away from.
So if you are looking for a sci-fi series that will scoop you up and return you to the time when you couldn't put down what you were reading because you just had to know what was going to happen next then I heartily recommend giving Spinward Fringe a try. I know myself I haven't enjoyed reading a series in a very long time but Lalonde has caught me in his excellently crafted web to the point I know I am going to hate getting to the last page of the last book.
If you love good sci-fi I honestly don't think you'll regret giving Spinward Fringe a try, other than you won't be able to put it down.

Pothole help could soon be on its way to a street near you. Word from Lansing Thursday says at least $100 million could be allocated by next week."They had 100 million [dollars] there's general agreement on that is almost certainly going to be part of the budget supplemental, and we'd like to see that done by March 14th," says State Sen. Roger Kahn, (R) Senate Budget Chair. But other lawmakers say that money is not enough. "The fact that 100 million [dollars] of it is going to help our locals with their coffers that are empty right now - salt, money, the pothole crisis - everybody knows that 100 million [dollars] isn't going to go far enough," says State Rep. Joe Haveman, (R) House Budget Chair. Which is why House Republicans want to spend an additional $115 million, not for filing potholes, but for bigger road projects. The governor will meet with the two Republican legislative leaders on Monday to sort all this out, but he is still pushing for considerably more revenue for a long-term fix.Last summer voters said they wanted better roads but didn't want to pay for them. Maybe that attitude has changed after this rough winter.The governor still wants $1.3 billion for the roads, but in the two years of trying to get the votes he has failed.

Lucky Strike Lanes took over the PUMA Social Club LA on October 21 with bowling, beer, and a rocking photobooth. The raucous evening was filled with the best of the best in late night games from ping pong to foosball. The pinnacle game of the night was none other than Wii Bowling. The Wii Bowling lanes were particularly spicy as competitors went for strikes well into the after hours.
Our personal highlight of the evening was the 6ft 8" inches tall, Mr Pin, who stole the hearts of all of our guests with his smooth stripe and strike! A knock out evening was had by all.

More reviews by sarahashleymac
I bought this blush because I was intrigued by the idea of "bouncy" consistency and I wanted a creamy blush for a natural look. The colour range of this line isn't horrible, but all the colour did seen quite bright for my NW10 skin. I chose the pink colour with the coolest undertones I could find (fresh pink). The packaging isn't bad, as it closes firmly. The instant I touched the blush it was indeed bouncy. However, the application of this blush was a disaster. I tried everything- fingers, blush brush, stippling brush, flat top brush, beauty blender- and it all looked like a streaky, uneven mess and it had a weird gritty feeling on my face. It mixed oddly with my foundation and the colour looked clown-like on my face. It doesn't blend at all so it was basically bright pink streaks all over my cheeks that felt like sand. I don't think I'll give it a second chance and from now on I'll stick with blushes that are not cool sounding textures but rather are more practical and blendable for a subtle, nature look. I don't think this would work for any skin type, but it is fun to poke in the package lol.

This product is on the pricier side and not good at all. The colour and a dewy look in hind site is perfect. But to my disappointment this blush appears very cakey no matter what... Also it takes a lot of product build up to have good pigmentation. Just not worth it- fail product.
I haven't tried these I just wanted to say to the people who review them saying they aren't good with powder, no because you've powdered your face putting a cream product over the top of the powder will break it up that's why you put it on an unpowdered face:)
More reviews by SeashellsInSummer
I reviewed the color orchid hush earlier and have now purchased coffee cake. The color is so brightening and melts in my skin completely. Powder blushes from the drugstore look like a second layer on your skin barring a few exceptions such as the happy booster blushes from physicians formula. These cream blushes have such a thin texture and sink in the skin with fingers. Yet they are not oily or shimmery or matte. I honestly think the texture is dreamy and fresh. A truly innovative product and I'm quite shocked at the negative reviews. I would hate it if they were discontinued just because some people cannot appreciate a unique product that adds such playfulness to a usually mundane makeup routine and performs beautifully at that!
More reviews by organicmakeupjunkie
NOPE. This stuff is just wrong wrong wrong. I think it looks very artificial and unflattering. You have to rub the hell out of your cheek for a non justifiable minimum look, and even then, it doesn't sit on the skin right. If you want everyone to know you are wearing blush, wear this. If you like something more flattering, I'd try NARS, benefit, or even a cheap Revlon blush could do better.
More reviews by Makeupbeauty1065
I really do like these. I found the color selection was great and the texture is very intriguing so I had to buy one like whatttt I was not expecting this weird non greasy creamy squishy blush. I was kinda sad because when you open it the lid is kinda hard so if you really grip it and your finger slips you gouge the blush with your finger :\ But I see a bunch of review complaining about applying the product! What I do to avoid uneven application is take the product in its container and just pat it on my cheeks then blend it out!! So much easier
This has all the negatives of a cream blush (it doesn't blend well with my mineral or powder make up) ... But none of the benefits --it doesn't look dewy, just glittery. Most importantly it clumps and applies unevenly with creams and liquids too. Boo! Some of the colors are nice if you can actually get it on your face...but why?
Made me break out. Great color (pink frosting) & texture though. Didn't seem to last long, but then again all blushes I've tried seem to be that way. Going in the trash unfortunately. /:
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this blush everyday. My only complaint is the packaging. The plastic lid fell off almost immediately so now the product just swims around in my makeup bag. It goes on light and looks natural and pretty. Lasts along time too for work.
I didn't love this product, but I liked it. The consistency is very fun, kind of like play-doh. I have this blush in shades hot tamale, fresh pink and plum wine. Of all of these, I think plum wine is best for a fair skin tone. These blushes wear nicely, but I wouldn't combine them with powder. Over all pretty good:)

A man who runs a junk removal company came across a box while cleaning out a home for sale in the Detroit area.
That's not unusual. The items inside certainly were.
XS Trash owner Norman Saleh opened the box to find $100,000 in U.S. savings bonds.
But instead of pocketing the money, Saleh called the Dearborn Heights house's owner, who gave the bonds' discoverer more than a "thank you."
The homeowner allowed Saleh to buy the property at what Saleh calls "a very, very good price." So, instead of cleaning up for a client, he's now fixing the place up for himself.
Saleh tells WXYZ-TV the moral of the story is that "honesty is the best policy."

Self Description
What am I like as a person? Complicated! I'm sensitive, friendly, outgoing, popular, and tolerant, though I can also be shy, self-conscious, and even obnoxious. Obnoxious! I'd like to be friendly and tolerant all of the time. That's the kind of person I want to be, and I'm disappointed when I'm not. I'm responsible, even studious now and then, but on the other hand, I'm a goof-off too, because if you're too studious you won't be popular. I don't usually do that well at school. I'm a pretty cheerful person, especially with my friends, where I can even get rowdy. At home I'm more likely to be anxious around my parents. They expect me to get all A's. It's not fair! I worry about how I probably should get better grades. But I'd be mortified in the eyes of my friends. So I'm usually pretty stressed-out at home, or sarcastic, since my parents are always on my case. But I really don't understand how I can switch so fast. I mean, how can I be cheerful one minute, anxious the next, and then be sarcastic? Which one is the real me? Sometimes, I feel phony, especially around boys. Say I think some guy might be interested in asking me out. I try to act different, like Madonna. I'll be flirtatious and fun-loving. And then everybody, I mean everybody else is looking at me like they think I'm totally weird. Then I get self-conscious and embarrassed and become radically introverted, and I don't know who I really am! Am I just trying to impress them or what? But I don't really care what they think anyway. I don't want to care, that is. I just want to know what my close friends think. I can be my true self with my close friends. I can't be my real self with my parents. They don't understand me. What do they know about what it's like to be a teenager? They still treat me like I'm still a kid. At least at school people treat you more like you're an adult. That gets confusing, though. I mean, which am I, a kid or an adult? It's scary, too, because I don't have any idea what I want to be when I grow up. I mean, I have lots of ideas. My friend Sheryl and I talk about whether we'll be flight attendants or teachers or nurses, veterinarians, maybe mothers, or actresses. I know I don't want to be a waitress or a secretary. But how do you decide all of this? I really don't know. I mean. I think about it a lot, but I can't resolve it. There are days when I wish I could just become immune to myself.
