Currently the U.S. has no unified federal program that provides guidance and funding for the relocation of affected communities such as those in Alaska that are pummeled by coastal storms.
At a time when government funding is strained, can nature offer some of the protection that engineered structures were built to provide? And can nature do it at lower cost?
When it comes to solving problems, elected officials are inclined to support solutions that allow people to keep behaving as they always have, but with less damage. That's how it has been with America's response to weather-related disasters. It's a response that won't work anymore.
How can it be that investment in clean energy is heading for a disappointing drop in 2012 while the International Energy Agency warns that without a radical change in direction, in just a few short years we will have closed the door to limiting global temperature rise to 2°?
Oddly, the State Department's environmental review process of the Keystone XL pipeline, carrying bitumen products from one of the planet's greatest bastions of climate wrecking carbon, does not include a consideration of climate impacts.
Striking images and video are beginning to stream in from more than 1,000 events in more than 100 countries where people are "connecting the dots" between climate change and extreme weather.
The fact is we so often get caught up on the tactics of what our companies or organizations make day to day that we lose sight completely of what it is they really do.
Obama is the leader most likely to be blamed 20 or 30 years from now when people around the world are suffering from intense, diverse and irreversible stresses from climate change.
The world has missed the opportunity to avoid serious, damaging human-induced climate change. How bad it ultimately gets depends on how much longer Congress hides behind political ideology, and religion to deny the reality of climate change.
Global warming has almost certainly already made allergy conditions worse and we've only seen the tip of the iceberg so far. Time to stock up on Benadryl and consider buying some drug company stocks.

Good coconut oil, but I like the stronger flavor and fresh smell of the Nutiva brand better.

This is an excellent quality coconut oil. The only problem I have with GOL coconut oil is that there always seems to be "hollow" spots of air in the coconut oil. Could be a coincidence, but I've had this twice in a row with GOL. I feel a little jipped!
highly recommended!!

love the flavour and aroma!! also easy to open the lid, which is a huge plus for those women or elderly people with a weak grip :) いい香りにうっとり。 瓶なのに蓋が非常にあけやすいのもポイント高し。でも夏など液状になるのであまり思いっきり力を入れてあけないよう注意が必要ですね!

It's probably from the same source as Nutiva's (both coming from the Philippines), so yeah I use both. I only bought this one to keep the glass jar for other foods.

I don't buy into the glass over plastic argument. Can't really tell the difference in taste between my favorite Nutiva and this one. Nutiva is a better value in my opinion. The plastic issue just has to many variables to sort out and in the end it comes down to your period of consumption. If it takes one months or longer to use then the glass may be something to consider, but I go through 54oz. pretty quick.

Amazon moves ahead with Kindle tablets, ereaders (photos)
Summary: Amazon takes the wraps off its new tablets, the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD and the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD. They expect to give Apple stiff competition in price and features.

Bezos also unveiled a new ereader, the Kindle Paperwhite. It features three display stacks: a patented light guide, capacitive touch, and a paperwhite display. Read Rachel King's blog for the details .
It's 9.1mm thin and 7.5 ounces light, "thinner than a magazine and lighter than a paperback," according to Bezos. It's biggest new improvement might be its 8-week battery life.
The Kindle Paperwhite display includes 62 percent more pixels at 212 pixels per inch to offer what might be the closest any e-reader has come to actually replicating the look of paper pages.
In a protective cover, the Kindle Paperwhite almost looks like a real book.

Steven Patrick Morrissey (born 22 May 1959), known as Morrissey, is an English singer and lyricist. He rose to prominence in the 1980s as the lyricist and vocalist of the band The Smiths. The band was highly successful in the United Kingdom but broke up in 1987, and Morrissey began a solo career, making the top ten of the UK Singles Chart on ten occasions. His first solo album, 1988's Viva Hate, entered the UK albums chart at number one. Widely regarded as an important innovator in indie music, Music magazine NME considers Morrissey to be "one of the most influential artists ever", while The Independent says "most pop stars have to be dead before they reach the iconic status he has reached in his lifetime". In 2004, Pitchfork Media called him "one of the most singular figures in Western popular culture from the last twenty years".

Adam Lankford thinks there's an oft-repeated misconception about suicide attackers that isn't merely wrong. It's potentially deadly.
Lankford is the Baltimore-born terrorism expert who has just published a book titled "The Myth of Martyrdom: What Really Drives Suicide Bombers, Rampage Shooters, and Other Self-Destructive Killers." The book, parts of which were written in Baltimore, deflates common assumptions about the psychology of those who claim they murder strangers to advance political goals.
"The myth is that suicide terrorists are making a sacrifice for a cause they believe in," says Lankford, 33, an assistant professor of criminal justice at the University of Alabama.
"In the future, more desperate people might be willing to commit acts of terrorism because the myth makes them appear more heroic than they actually are. I'm saying we can close that loophole simply by describing accurately what their behavior is."
According to Lankford's research, suicide terrorists aren't "psychologically normal," as other criminal justice experts claim. Instead, those who carry out terrorist attacks — as opposed to those who just organize them — are unhappy and depressed and searching for a socially acceptable way to end their pain.
"In the Islamic world, there's a strong stigma against conventional suicide," Lankford says. "Suicide terrorism has essentially become the only way for someone to kill himself without committing a crime against God and going to hell."
In the two weeks since "The Myth of Martyrdom" was published, Lankford has appeared on radio broadcasts in the U.S. and Spain. He has debated his ideas in magazines including The New Yorker, Foreign Policy and Psychology Today, and in a newspaper in Brazil.
I'm guessing you don't much care for "Homeland."
I admit that I've not been watching the show. I get so frustrated at suicide bombers being portrayed as the heroic political actors that conventional wisdom suggests. But when the filmmakers tried to give him [the character of soldier-turned-terrorist Sgt. Nicholas Brody] a dramatic back story and show what how he was traumatized during the eight years he was a prisoner of war, they may have gotten things more right than they knew.
How many suicide terrorist attacks are there annually?
Between 2009 and 2011, there were about 11,000 terrorist attacks annually worldwide. About 300 of them each year were suicide attacks.
In Chapter 3, you analyze 130 terrorists who committed suicide attacks worldwide and detect "classic risk factors for suicide" in all of them. But if you stopped 130 people at random, wouldn't you find classic risk factors for suicide in all of us, as well?
It's a matter of degree. I'm still waiting to find the suicide terrorist for whom things were going really well, who had just gotten a promotion and was really happy. I'm still waiting to find the suicide terrorist who loved life. I've yet to find even one case of that person existing.
In your book, you perform what you describe as a "psychological autopsy" of Sept. 11 ringleader Mohamed Atta. Your conclusion that he was clearly suicidal contradicts the findings of other experts, who have described him as relatively normal.
Isn't diagnosing someone after his death fraught with peril? Don't researchers generally find the mental malady that supports their hypotheses?
You have to be careful to have a critical eye. You can't cherry-pick facts just to make your case. But my book includes big chunks of direct quotes. The readers can make up their own minds.
To me, there's nothing more convincing than direct quotes from either the terrorists or the people who knew them well. And some things you just can't make up. You could go through my entire life, and you'd never hear me say, as Atta did, "Joy kills the heart" or "I'm tired of eating."
You conclude that people who were coerced into killing themselves by drinking poisoned Kool-Aid at Jonestown in Guyana — or those who end their own lives to escape a painful death at the hands of others — committed suicide "as an expression of personal weakness."
What's the difference between them and the passengers who attacked the hijackers and crashed United Flight 93 into the ground so it wouldn't hit the Pentagon? Were the people who jumped from the Twin Towers before waiting for the roof to collapse suicidal?
No, because those people wanted to live. If they could have rushed the cockpit and guided that plane to safety, they would have.

"These were delivered super fast! I received personal feedback from an editor who helped make these perfect. They are exceptional quality, glossy and really the perfect touch to our save the dates and invites."
"the color goes perfectly with our wedding colors! i am typically very picky but these have surprised me! we couldnt be happier!! great customer service too. THANK YOU!!"
"These labels are super cute! I ordered them to go with our wedding invites and they came out great! They do however look baby blue in color in person rather than slightly turquoise, as they look online. They are great though! Colors tend to look different online than in person for many things, so that's no surprise. Highly recommend these labels!"

-- Robert Preidt
MONDAY, Sept. 13 (HealthDay News) -- White Americans with
muscular dystrophy live longer than blacks with the disease, but
the reason why remains unclear, says a new study.
Death at an early age from respiratory or heart failure is
common among people with muscular dystrophy, a group of inherited
diseases that weaken muscles.
In this study, researchers looked at 18,315 muscular dystrophy
patients who died between 1986 and 2005, a period marked by
advances in the care of people with muscular dystrophy.
During that time, the average age at death increased by 1.09
years annually for white men, compared to 0.25 years for black men.
Among men who had no muscular dystrophy-related weakening of the
heart (cardiomyopathy), the average age at death increased by 1.3
years annually for white men, compared to 0.3 years for black
The study also found that white women with muscular dystrophy
live an average of 12 years longer than black women with the
The findings appear in the Sept. 14 issue of the journal
"More research is needed to determine the causes of this difference between whites and African-Americans with muscular dystrophy so it can be addressed," study author Aileen Kenneson, who conducted the research while at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a journal news release.
"Possible contributing factors could be differences in the types of muscular dystrophy, environmental or genetic factors, other health conditions such as high blood pressure, individual social and economic factors or access to and use of treatment options," she said.
In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Nicte Mejia of Massachusetts
General Hospital offered another opinion. "Inequities in the health
care delivery system and the multiple ways in which race constrains
access to care seem the most likely explanation for this racial
disparity," Mejia wrote. "Decades of research show that
African-American patients have worse access to health care and
inferior outcomes than white patients. This study reminds us that
we must work to minimize social barriers and provide excellent care
to all patients."

When is the cheapest weekend to visit Disney World?
You're more likely to find Disney hotel deals later in the summer, as fewer families plan trips before kids return to school.
This post comes from Lindsay Sakraida at partner site DealNews.
Most kids would probably like to visit Disney World year-round, but there's no denying the fact that a trip during the summer months, when kids are free from school, makes the most sense for many families. But just because you have to travel to the Happiest Place on Earth during the busy season doesn't mean you can't try to save money in the process.
In our quest to pinpoint the absolute best time to visit Disney World in Orlando over the summer, we turned to the good folks at Priceline. They provided DealNews with exclusive 2013 price information from hundreds of Disney-accessible Orlando hotels, so we could see what families will pay for accommodations in the coming months.
Snag the best Disney hotel deals in late summer
Priceline discovered that, in terms of nightly hotel rates, the cheapest weekend to visit Disney during the summer season is the second to last weekend of August — aka, the weekend before Labor Day weekend. Conversely, the most expensive time is the last weekend in June. When comparing the average nightly rates for these weekends, the price advantage might seem relatively slight, as the difference is $12 per night, or 14% more to lodge during that June weekend.
However, pricing between the two weekends is especially notable when we break the data down by hotel star rating. Priceline's mid-level, 3-star rating is likely to be the more mainstream option for a family traveling on a budget. Luckily, when we compare the weekends based on the cost for 3-star hotels, the savings are more significant. There's a 23% increase in cost during the aforementioned June weekend, or a difference of $22 per night. Depending on the length of stay and number of rooms needed, that can add up very quickly.
Rates change depending on school schedules
The reason why pricing works out this way is likely because of the academic calendar. Schools finish at varying times across the country, but most are closed for the year in early to mid June. Traveling at the end of the month then is ideal (and safely available) for vacation-eager families to head down to Florida.
On the other hand, kids start returning to school around Labor Day, or early September. Since families are mentally preparing to send their kids back to their daily schedule, late August is probably overlooked as a possibility for major summer travel, driving prices down. Moreover, it's likely that many families have plans for Labor Day on the following weekend, however slight, and traveling the weekend before might therefore be less popular in general.
Readers, are any of you planning a trip to Disney this summer? What are your tips for saving while at the Happiest Place on Earth? Let us know in the comments below.

Stay off resort. Windsor Hills and Windsor Palms are rental homes that include private pools for each house. Houses are located less than 10 minutes from all parks. Houses up to 6 or 7 bedrooms will allow two families to stay. Houses are fully furnished and allow you to eat at home for breakfast before heading to the parks and if on a budget, for dinner too. Houses are typically $1400-$1700 for a week, even in peak season. we are going in October and we found a 5 bedroom house for just under $1400 with pool heat included.
if flying, pack light, the houses are outfitted with a washer/dryer so a load or two of clothes can limit baggage and save money for paying for checked bags.
if married with kids, unless you plan on a suite at Disney, there is no get away from the kids in a standard room. In Windsor Hills, put the kids to bed and enjoy a glass of wine with you husband by the pool and take an evening swim. And if you are a family of more than 4, the cost of a second room at Disney is outweighed by the savings of a house at Windsor Hills.
we have a bunch of friends that stayed on resort and have now tried the rental house option. They will never go back to Disney resorts.
We have been going to Disney World once or twice a year since 2006. We just returned a couple of weeks ago and this is the first time I can say we were disappointed. For the 2 of us in a moderate resort, no meal plan and a 5-day park hopper we paid over $1500 and then had to purchase our food. They put chips in their cups so we paid $17.99 a piece to have soda at our resort, the MagicBand didn't work half the time, the FastPass+ didn't allow you to do Fast Passes in more than 1 park and only 3 in a day and then they tiered them so you couldn't do some rides if they were in the same upper tier (the day we returned they changed this but too late for us to take advantage). Our additional expense was $700 and we purchased nothing to bring home with us.
We saved by going to a grocery store and microwaving our breakfasts, and packed sandwiches and water and took them into the parks with us. Still in total we were well over $2,300 and that didn't include our gas, hotel down & back or any other incidentals while driving. Not a cheap trip by any means!
Rent nice condos online through VRBO for $600 per week, Freeze water bottles and put in soft side cooler with sandwiches, fruit cups and snacks for lunch. Then go to the parking lot and relax in your rental car for an hour while everyone else in the park stands in line for there lunch reservation.
We go to Disney/Universal every year. while the park tickets are getting more and more expensive, packing a lunch and using VRBO for lodging offsets the cost.

New book calls science a "Priesthood"
This opinion article by a recent author of a book on cranks, along with their editorial bias towards claims of the eminent demise of General Relativity and the Standard Model, has got to be a large part of the reason that New Scientist is associated with crankdom.
Science is a priesthood? This is a claim arising from nothing more than psychological projection from the cargo-cult of wannabes. If science were a priesthood, there would be organized worship rather than the disorganized affections of groupies and the unasked-for flattery of imitations of those that ape science's form without benefit. If science were a priesthood, there would be an initiation into its mysteries rather than open access journals and public libraries of books.
Mathematics is an obstacle? No, you dunderheads! The human brain with its grossly circuitous and inefficient function of thinking and understanding implemented in story-telling meat is the obstacle. That the thinking meat of cranks are of the opinion that untutored meat should have equal chances of discovery as the meat of scientists who attempt to work in with reliable abstractions of logic, math and evidence is without basis. Naive egalitarianism in this case is simple arrogance.
Science has to be a precise, useful and communicable description of nature. That the most precise and most useful descriptions are necessarily communicated in mathematics is not a bug, but a feature.

Science as a priesthood may be farfetched, since science is dependent and beholden on business, government and other special interest for funding. A priesthood would seek the truth first even if that means trying all things new. But since this might create a conflict of interest, for those holding the purse, science often default into mercenary mode. If you are an employee, you have to abide by the rules of employment. If you worked for a cigarette company, you can't do the opposite and still get paid.
If science was totally self sufficient in terms of resources, with no obligation except to the truth, a science priesthood would be possible. But if science is leveraged with a job paid by someone outside science, loss of prestige or funding hangs in the balance, so it is easier to be a mercenary.
How many scientists would support themselves to seek the truth? How many would prefer the comfort of a good job even if you need to jump some hoops? Dawkings is not a priest of science but more of hired gun who is in it for the prestige and fame.
For science to evolve a priesthood, it would need to be set up like a church, where it collects tax free donations for science. But small donations so there is no leverage.
In current mode, if government wanted the sky to be green and was willing to supply $100B in resources to do this, there would be many takers of this money, mercenaries, trying to make it green. The priesthood, would say save the money, it is blue.

The whole rational point I can see for a priesthood mentality is in the frugal disciplines of it's initiates--the meekness of accepting of the smaller paycheck garnered.
In this respect, plumbers, lawyers, all business admins, doctors, congressmen, etc., should all be of a priesthood.
Get thee to a nunnery, penner!!
12-24-11, 11:50 AM #5Regardless of the credibility of this claim, it is sociologically significant. In their militantly egalitarian opposition to what they see as a physics elite, NPA members mirror the stance of Martin Luther and other pioneers of the Protestant Reformation
Imagine if, decades ago, anthropological researchers (and members of physical sciences that learned of this) got upset over critical remarks that bushmen made (about how their traditional beliefs trumped the new conclusions of science) if bushmen could have blogged opinions, published papers, and had conventions back then. Such a very human departure from a methodological process supposedly above passion and personal grudges, gives the appearance of legitimacy to such attacks being indeed from a rival with a potent alternative view. Rather than merely being another socio-cultural object of an indifferent study, conducted by mainstream scientists.

Worship of the "mysteries" is encouraged by the priesthood to enhance the priesthood's authority.
The profession of scientist -- one who does science -- is less regulated than many professions including lawyers, engineers and actual priests. In all jurisdictions, anyone may call themselves a scientist while impersonating a lawyer or engineer or priest may bring civil and criminal penalties. Organizations of scientists operation more like social networking sites to facilitate communications of common interest than as controlling bodies.
Science is all about testing supposed answers to questions. Any authority that science has in society is based on its track record of providing reliable and precise answers when being correct matters. Worship of science or its practitioners is not a symptom of the nature of science, but of the nature of humans; even those unconnected with answering questions like singers and athletes and politicians have fans, groupies and flatterers.
I do not think it is a good idea for science to strive to become more like a priesthood. Nor do I think it is evolving in that direction.
I reject that scientific knowledge is "gnostic" -- because nothing distinguishes knowledge gained from scientific research from knowledge gained in any other human activity. I am not an excellent welder -- is this because professional welders are a priesthood? No, the fault lies with myself and the choices I made.
Priesthood is not necessarily defined by frugality and humility. A practical reason for scientists to be humble is that ego gets in the way of communicating reliably or testing ones own ideas.
C_C, it's unnecessary to blacklist cranks because they aren't actually doing science. Many of them build castles in the air and then defend those castles in a manner incompatible with science. Others set fire to their own reputations in other non-scientific ways. And the thing about blacklisting is there has to be an actual blacklist. Never have I seen a scientist thank another scientist for passing on a crackpots name. All too often the crackpots own work is passed on without comment. Also, I am not slighting Margaret Wertheim for studying crankdom, but for commending it.
Mathematics may be like hieroglyphics, but they are hardly magical and like hieroglyphics are meant to be understood. This requires your meat to be good at thinking in a particular manner.
Dawkings is not a priest of science but more of hired gun who is in it for the prestige and fame.

It's like providing grounds for a further study of Mormons, to be conducted by applicable social sciences, but then the response is all about the "bunk" of Mormon beliefs. As if they should be blacklisted in regard to being candidates for such research because their "backward and traditional opinions" rub some scientists in other fields or their advocates the wrong way. A scientist studying the bushmen of decades ago would document their beliefs as one part of the endeavor, but hardly enter the situation giving a flip about wasting time on a personal passion of refuting their "outlandish" traditional beliefs (even without today's political correctness or respect of other cultures being in vogue).
Footnote: Add to this Wertheim's concluding comment: "While we may not agree with the answers outsiders give, none of us should be sanguine when some of the greatest fruits of science are unavailable to most of humankind." I.e., studying such groups might provide more insight into why science alienates the majority of people, if a department requires some bloody applied justification for research rather than merely the purist acquisition of knowledge for the sake of knowledge, whether it is useful or not.

Maybe not. Recently, a few political scientists have begun to discover a human tendency deeply discouraging to anyone with faith in the power of information. Its this: Facts dont necessarily have the power to change our minds. In fact, quite the opposite. In a series of studies in 2005 and 2006, researchers at the University of Michigan found that when misinformed people, particularly political partisans, were exposed to corrected facts in news stories, they rarely changed their minds. In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger.
The general idea is that its absolutely threatening to admit youre wrong, says political scientist Brendan Nyhan, the lead researcher on the Michigan study. The phenomenon known as backfire is a natural defense mechanism to avoid that cognitive dissonance.
On the other hand, when left unchecked it spreads quickly. This report shows that the belief in pseudoscience is rampant in America. The medias misrepresentation combined with the publics lack of knowledge in the scientific method, could lead to less government support for research, greater public susceptibility to scams, and public risk perceptions, e.g., global warming.

I read the article and here are the takeaways:
* Cranks reject mainstream science.
* Cranks don't like math.
* Cranks have not yet contributed to science.
* Cranks are organizing themselves into a unified force of... um... cranks.
Cranks are positioning themselves for psychological study but will still be systematically separated from science until they start performing real science. This would of course entail taking the time to get a real education.
Everyone likes to sit back and complain about pseudoscience, but I feel that it should be confronted. Just because scientists are able to discern between the two, doesnt necessarily mean that the general public is capable of making the judgment. People can easily be manipulated if they are unacquainted with logic and the scientific process.
Lets take a look at a David Hilster, who designed the Sagnac Award for the NPA, and who also, continues to ask for donations.
Does philosophy have some sort of veto power over science? Does philosophy have the right to reject scientific evidence? I think not.
It's not surprising science would want to distance itself from philosophy. The historical relationship between science and philosophy has not been a friendly one. Philosophers like to start with their conclusions, and work to prove them. When it came to trying to figure out what the world was like, philosophers tended to argue about what the world should be like. Science was born as a rejection of this method. Its goal was to figure out what the world was really all about, and its primary tool was actual experimentation.~ Joseph Rowlands

Most birds have more types of photoreceptors than we do and they have almost no rods, so to them the universe is a riot of color. They can see ultraviolet so the color of the sky is certainly different to them. (This is how they can so mysteriously distinguish males from females: ultraviolet pigmentation in their feathers.)

The first generation of these completely innumerate Americans has grown up and risen into managerial positions. This explains the current state of our economy. Even bankers believed their own bullshit about the subprime mortgage being a perfectly reasonable transaction. My wife has a degree in English but even she figured that out.I think that it's true that human brains are optimized by evolution to process natural language and to interact socially with other human beings.Thinking about the highly abstract world of mathematics is kind of a brand new direction for human cognition, one that it has only embarked on recently. We still aren't as good at mathematics as we are at hanging out socially with our friends.
Many primitive languages (including Proto-Indo-European) do/did not have the singular-plural numbering paradigm of most modern languages, but instead had a one/two/more-than-two paradigm. Does this mean that earlier in our development we did not have quite as good a grasp of larger numbers?
Dogs don't seem to be able to count past two. If I train one to take two biscuits after dinner, he knows that the first one was the first one because one did not come before it, and he knows that the second one is the last one because one did come before it, so he knows he's had two. But if I try to train him to take three, once he gets to two he has no idea how many he's eaten so far, so he doesn't know when to stop expecting another one.

How can we best engage college students in the idea of learning instead of just getting a degree?
I work at a 4 year, public university and I see a great deal of students who come to school to get their degree (which they equate to money/success) and do not care about learning. What are your thoughts on the best way to engage them in the actual process of learning. I have my thoughts, but would love to hear my fellow TEDsters thoughts.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 8 2013: Well for that I think you would need to convince them that the knowledge they get will actually help them become better at what they do.
If you look at industry where students want to learn more and the discipline itself is more important than the grades, such as Visual arts and Design, you realize that the passion students must develop for these things stems from the facts that they are doing something creative and in the industry they will have to keep creating things and coming up with new stuff...
So to achieve the same results in sciences you have to adapt the same approach, instead of having students recite formulas for no apparent reason, they will be introduced to the complex problems of our world, to the applications of sciences and how the students can help influence developments and make patents they can sell for money. (Disgustingly sad but in our current society that is the carrot at the end of that stick)
Also means that instead of relaying on grades and scores to get a job and secure income there will be actual encouragement of independent study and research and teachers will want to wad through a slushpile of ill composed essays about how this or that can work using what they learned. .
Presenting students with examples of how the knowledge they gain can be applied or is important is crucial at every step of the way so they can be inspired to learn more and come up with their own stuff.
Showing them TED lectures might help.
The problem with this approach is that usually there are Students who are not interested in some schools of knowledge so they tend to disrupt studies for everyone by acting difficult..

What Up, LUPEC!
Uber <3 Proms. Uber <3 Cocktails. Uber <3 LUPEC.
We're very psyched to be a part of the LUPEC Snow Ball this Monday… so psyched, in fact, that we're going to give new users $15 in Uber credit to around on Prom Night.
Not sure what Uber is?
Uber is a sweet new service in town that *delivers* you a black town car, complete with a chauffer, through your phone. Oh yeah, and it gets to you in five to ten minutes. Goodbye cabs, hello Uber.
"That's awesome, how do I sign up?", you say?
Its simple. Just whip out your iPhone/Android and follow these simple steps:
(1) Sign-up: Download 'Uber' on your iPhone or Android device. We take a credit card during sign-up so you don't worry about billing or tipping.
(2) Request: Open the app, tag your location, request a driver, and watch your chauffeured black car pull up within 5-10 minutes.
(3) Ride: Sit back, relax, and pull up to the party in Uber style.
When you sign up, use "OhHiNick" for the $15 of credit, it'll get you to the event for wayyy cheaper than a cab…and in style.
Oh yeah, and tweet @Uber_Bos with your most embarrassing prom related picture (get creative). I'll hand pick the most awesomest one and give that person an extra $40 in Uber credit to get to and from the event fo' free :) (use #uberlupec as the hashtag)
So pop those high heels on… I'll be rockin' a pretty sweet suit ;)
See you there,
Boston Community Manager

Weigh in to Improve the Proposed Rule to Reduce Family Separation
May 24, 2012 - Posted by Maurice Belanger
On April 2, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a Proposed Rule that would make an important change in processing waivers for certain immigrants seeking to legalize their status.
The proposed rule will alleviate problems caused by current processing. The rule could go further, however, to reduce family separation. You can weigh in to help improve the rule. Public comments are being accepted until June 1.
Under current law, undocumented immigrants who have been in the U.S. without status for six months or more are barred from re-entering the U.S. for three years once they leave. If they have been here without status for a year or more, the bar to re-entry goes up to ten years.
Typically, a person needing this waiver is eligible for an immigrant visa. However, if the person is not eligible to adjust his or her status within the U.S., the immigrant visa must be picked up at a U.S. consulate in the individual's home country. Once the individual leaves the U.S. to pick up the visa, the three- or ten-year bar is triggered. It is a Catch-22 that immigrants must deal with all the time: they can gain Lawful Permanent Resident status with the immigrant visa they are eligible for, but to acquire that visa, they must leave the U.S. and thus are barred for years from coming back.
A waiver is available if an individual can show that a citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident spouse or parent would suffer "extreme hardship" if the individual was forced to remain outside of the U.S.
With the current process, however, the individual cannot apply for that waiver until he or she leaves the country to pick up his or her visa. The wait for a decision on the waiver can stretch to months, during which time the family is separated.
The April 2 USCIS proposal would change the order of the process. Under this change, the individual will apply for the waiver before leaving the U.S. With waiver approved, the individual will then leave the U.S. to pick up his or her visa at a U.S. consulate abroad. The purpose of the waiver, after all, is to prevent lengthy family separation; currently, families are separated for an extended period while a decision is made on whether or not the family should be separated for an extended period.
You can make the rule better. Here's how you can make your voice heard.
- Go to this page of the Federal Register page where you can find the proposed rule (titled, "Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers of Inadmissibility for Certain Immediate Relatives"):
- Click on the button that says "Comment Now!"
- Fill out the information on the form, and type in your comment. When you are done, hit submit.
Here are some points you can make, which the Forum and other experts on these issues have identified as key weaknesses in the Proposed Rule:
- The spouses and children of Lawful Permanent Residents qualify for hardship waivers if they can prove "extreme hardship" to a Lawful Permanent Resident spouse or parent. Yet, the proposed waiver process will be available only to immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. Individuals who can show extreme hardship to Lawful Permanent Resident spouses or parents, and relatives in family preference categories including unmarried adult children of U.S. Citizens, should also be eligible for the provisional waiver process.
- Eligibility for the new provisional waiver process should be expanded to cover individuals in removal proceedings, those individuals in cases where a Notice to Appear has been issued but not yet filed with the court, those with a scheduled visa interview, and those whose cases have been administratively closed. Expanding eligibility to individuals in these cases will reinforce agency goals to focus removal resources on high-priority cases.
- Eligibility for the new provisional waiver process should include individuals who, through an exercise of prosecutorial discretion, have had their cases administratively closed. By excluding these individuals, USCIS would require individuals granted administrative closure under the prosecutorial discretion initiative to return to court to have their case re-opened and to accept voluntary departure. Given the Administration's commitment to the robust use of prosecutorial discretion, it would be illogical—and a waste of government resources—to force these individuals to re-open their cases in order to apply for the waiver.
- The extreme hardship standard has been applied inconsistently over the years. USCIS should establish clear guidelines for making extreme hardship decisions that include the devastating effect of family separation as well as financial hardship.
- In the proposed rule, there is no opportunity for an individual who has been denied a waiver to re-file or appeal. Individuals who have received an initial denial should have an opportunity to re-file at least once. The final rule should also contain an administrative appeal process.
If you would like to see more detail and/or rationale for these concerns, you can view the Forum's full submitted comments here:

An ASU fraternity party spiraled out of control into an all-out brawl. It's not the first off-campus ASU party that's ended in violence. But the violence in this incident escalated from frat boy fighting into baseball bats and gun shots.
911 caller: "Hi please come to 1925 E. Hayden Road [sound of gunshots, screaming] oh my god oh my god oh god!"
A party hosted members of an ASU fraternity erupted into chaos after someone pulled out a gun and opened fire.
This surveillance video is from inside a Tempe apartment complex where many of the fraternity members live.
And now, people around there are fed up. They want to know what's being done to put an end to the frat boy violence.
Five ASU students were hurt in this fight. One person was hit in the head with a baseball bat. Thankfully, nobody was hit by gunfire.
Police and the city are trying to crack down, but this is a tough problem to solve.
This weekend's fight started when two young men came into the complex looking for one of their girlfriends. She didn't want to leave, and they ended up fighting with members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity who were throwing a party.
The two men later came back with some more friends, a baseball bat and a gun.
Caller: "Guy with a baseball bat, no shirt came out of a car and smashed somebody in the face!"
911: "White male, black, Hispanic male?"
Caller: "White male [sound of gunshots] -- gunfire get down get down get down get inside get in the car get in the car!"
So far police have arrested 5 people. Turns out this is the second big fight at this apartment complex near Broadway and McClintock. Back in December, a fight between two rival fraternities was caught on tape too.
At ASU, fraternities invading apartment complexes has become very common.
Nothing is left of Alpha Drive. The university tore all the houses down. And by doing so it sent all the members looking for new places to live.
Many of them ended up moving into apartment complexes like the one where this fight broke out. And Tempe police say it becoming a problem.
"These young individuals, whether they are students or just young adults, they have to understand their role in our society and going out, having loud parties drinking to excess. Having brawls, getting involved in traffic accidents, assaulting one another. Gunshots. Baseball bats. We can't have that," says Tempe Police Chief Tom Ryff.
So far this school year, Tempe police have responded to 689 loud party calls.
"You have got people all over the place. Beer bottles all over the place. Broken beer bottles all over the place," says Thomas Simon, who lives on the street where the fight broke out.
"The police have to show a presence, not after something happens but before something happens and they don't."
But the city and police are working on plan. The Tempe City Council may soon approve an ordinance that will give police the power to cite not only partygoers, but also landlords.
"These young individuals as well as the property owners, they have to respect the right of our community and that is what we are trying to do," says Chief Ryff.
The city is also considering capping the number of fraternity members who can live at one complex.
"While going to ASU and living in Tempe, we want you mindful of your actions and how it does affect the neighborhood," says Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell.
ASU told us today that they are working with fraternities and sororities to move them into campus housing for the fall semester.
As for the city ordinance, city attorneys are still working out all the details but they're expecting to bring it to a vote soon.

Mansfield orders dog put down after attack
The Board of Selectmen in Mansfield voted Wednesday night to force a family to put down their dog after it attacked a 6-year-old boy.
The board voted 3-2 in favor of euthanizing the dog, said board Chairman Olivier Kozlowski.
Milo, the pointer hound mix, is owned by the family of the boy's babysitter, 15-year-old Heather Bailey. She was watching the boy at her family's home in January and was trying to locate a video game when the attack occurred, according to The Sun Chronicle. It was unclear what prompted the attack.
Six-year-old Christian Herbert was bit on his body and face and required 400 stitches, according to The Sun Chronicle.
Kozlowski, who voted in favor of putting the dog down, said the town's animal control officer recommended that the dog be euthanized. Laws allow for classifications of an animal after an attack. The board could have dismissed the complaint brought by the attorney representing the boy's family, classified the dog as a "nuisance dog" and imposed restrictions such as home confinement or insurance or it could classify it as a "dangerous dog."
"Obviously it's a really tough call," Kozlowski said. "I don't think anybody can look at what happened and just call it a nuisance."
He said the town officials could identify with both families involved and that the decision wasn't easy.
The issue now goes to the district court, Kozlowski said, and the family plans to appeal the decision.

Before you forward that e-mail, check it out
Web site helps sift fact from fiction in forwarded e-mails. No, Bill Gates is not going to send you money.
Be warned that if you ever send me a forwarded e-mail warning me of dire consequences (hypodermic needles at gas pumps, assailants in the back seat of my car, cell phone numbers being given to telemarketers), I will send you back the words "another urban legend" with the link to the debunking of the tale at Snopes.com.
I am always amazed that otherwise intelligent people actually believe this stuff. I guess that's why popular scams, such as the Nigerian letter scam, remain persistent. Here's my first piece of advice: If information comes to you in a forwarded e-mail, there is a good chance it's not true.
And, of course, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
For 14 years, David and Barbara Mikkelson of California have been researching -- and debunking -- widely circulated misinformation for Snopes.com.
"Rumors are a great source of comfort for people," Barbara Mikkelson told The New York Times, which interviewed the couple about their work.
The couple started the site in 1996 as an online encyclopedia of myths and urban legends, The Times reported, debunking classic folk tales, such as the story of the killer with a prosthetic hook who stalked Lovers' Lane. (We used to tell this one at slumber parties.)
After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the couple were inundated with requests to investigate various related claims and less than a year later, the Mikkelsons made Snopes their full-time job. They have two full-time employees and they make their money from advertising on the site sold by a third-party network, The Times reported.
The Times article focused on the site's political research but we were more interested in financial urban legends and scams. Here are some of the financial topics in what Snopes calls the current 25 hottest urban legends:
- Cell phone users must register their number with the national "Do Not Call" directory by a certain deadline to prevent their numbers from being released to telemarketers. We find it astonishing that there is anyone left in America who hasn't yet received this forwarded message and discovered it was bogus, but it is still the hottest urban legend.
- Eggs or popcorn kernels can be cooked by placing them between activated cell phones. This certainly would be useful in a power failure but it is, again, not true.
- Internet users can receive cash from Microsoft, AOL, Intel or another entity for forwarding messages. This one is almost as old as the Internet itself, but there seem to still be some people who believe it. Anyone remember chain letters?
- Here's one that's true: Identify thieves call people and extract personal details by telling them they have failed to report for jury duty and that warrants are being issued for their arrest.
It is also true that there is a password-stealing Facebook virus going around, as well as a virus that circulates in messages claiming you've received an e-mail postcard or greeting card, though the rest of the message warning of that virus may not be accurate.
By the way, the latest trick of e-mail forwarders is to claim that the story has been confirmed by Snopes. However, if you check it out, you often find that's not so.
You can also check out information that seems too good to be true at Clark Howard's Web site, Scam Busters and a site called Truth or Fiction.
Do you ever forward e-mails? What steps do you take to verify the information before you pass it on?
What's your favorite urban legend or scam that you can't believe people still fall for?

I decided to get rid of our old wardrobe. Because I can not do this
on my own, I called Hire Man and Van. These guys did all the job,
they arrived on time, took the wardrobe and throw it away for me. Now
on the place where the wardrobe was I'm going to make flowers'
cheapest man and van service in town. Yesterday I had to empty one of
my rooms and I call Hire Man and Van to throw away the old cupboards
and broken chairs. I called several removals agencies and I choose
this offer because of the price (only £ 37 per hour). The guy
arrived on time and the job was done quickly.
I found a great bargain, second hand piano for £100. The only problem was how to move it to my house. After thinking for a while I choose the services from Hire Van London. Their offer was cheap and only they could bring the piano on time. I'm glad with their attitude. They bring it into the van very carefully and now I have a piano :)
Unbelievably AFFORDABLE! This is may be their biggest advantage. The effort they pay, the attention they pay. They are under no doubts. But when you see the price I think you are going to be just stunned. I was, I didn't expect so low price from a removals company.
They helped me to move my 3 seat sofa. Very useful service. Way faster than I expected and performed with enough dedication to not cause any damage to the stuff moved. Thanks!
I changed my flat last week and Hire Man and Van did great job. Thanks to their assistance there was no trouble while moving. The man was very careful loading my packages into the van. The distance between my old flat and the new one was not too far and the whole moving was done for an hour.
Affordability is one of their strongest advantages. They prices are very competitive! The quality of work is high and until now I've been always satisfied with the way they handle the given task.
Really hard working and dedicated movers. They helped me to move some furniture. They covered all my expectations and I am happy.
I needed to move some old furniture away. I'd decided to give it to a charity organisation but couldn't transport it on my own. Hire Man and Van did this job for me and I really don't find anything to complain about. Excellent service.
Excellent service. I used their services last time I changed my flat. They moved all my belongings without any damage. The price wasn't very low but at least there weren't any hidden taxes. I think that their ratio price-quality is just amazing!
