Where's Snowden?
There are 10 Edward Snowdens here. Also a few Vladimir Putin's. Also Jay-Z and Marina Abramovic. Also the Pope. Also Backdoor Teen Mom. Also the Red Wedding. Also goat riding skateboard. And a lot more that I can't quite bring myself to type out. Basically a lot of major moments in pop culture this year. Thanks to GQ art director: Chelsea Cardinal. Though this ultimately never ran, it was still fun to draw.

This adorable segment pairs Princeton mom and "date rape is mistake sex" pearl-clutcher Susan Patton with Fox News troglodyte and human fart Steve Doocy. And by adorable, I mean horrible.
What you don't know won't hurt you.
Todd Starnes of Fox News Radio has yet to answer my über-important, possibly earth-shattering question. I'll keep you all posted.
And Kirsten Powers just keeping rolling…
So, no group supports abortion clinic bombings ideologically?
Ever heard of an organization named Army of God? Click the last two photos in the set to view the pages listing Scott Roeder as an "American Hero" and murderers, arsonists, and bombers as "Heroes of the Faith."
Really, stop trying to bend over backwards to exclude anti-choice terrorists as TERRORISTS. What do you call a man like Clay Waagner, who mailed over 200+ threatening letters, supposedly containing anthrax, to Planned Parenthood clinic? What, is he just a prankster?
This lone wolf bullshit needs to stop. Christians bombing abortion clinics in the name of God are terrorists. Muslims who commit bombing in the name of Allah — same thing. The biggest difference is that every time an incident of terrorism motivated by extremist anti-choice ideology takes place, Christian pro-life groups aren't forced to launch a media blitz to clarify that the terrorist does not represent Christians.
Muslims do not get the same courtesy in the U.S. If an act of terrorism is even speculated to be committed by a Muslim, the media immediately demands Muslim-Americans roundly condemn the attacks and explain how that person is not a Muslim — this, of course, operates under the Islamophobic notion that EVERY MUSLIM EVERYWHERE supports the terrorist acts of the very, very few.
Scott Roeder, Army of God? Eh, lone wolf, not a real Christian, etc.
Just stop. This is not a hypothesis you can defend and still be a decent goddamn human being.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the "lone wolf" hypothesis personified.
Just let me point out the cognitive gymnastics Kirsten Powers is performing here: A Muslim man is not necessarily a terrorist, but could be; however, an abortion clinic bomber is never a terrorist because that person is crazy and is totally and 100% not representative of the pro-life movement.
So… just like the miniscule minority of Muslims who commit terrorism are not representative of the overwhelming peaceful majority who follow the teachings of Islam?
Just so we're clear, domestic terrorism motivated by radical anti-choice ideology is just that — terrorism.
I just can't…
This is not a parody account.
I'm just going to deal with a logical fallacy here — a weapon is no longer secret once you tweet it could be a secret weapon.
And one might think the GOP might view Black people as more than just votes to be used as a weapon. One might think that. But one would also be very, very wrong. Not unless this is the red and the black Fox Nation is talking about:
I checked. Nope. From the story:
Republicans need not win the black vote, or even a third of it. Securing 15 percent of the black electorate severely erodes the stalwart-Democrat base.
Here's a hint: Stop supporting laws that force 102-year-old Desiline Victor to wait in line for several hours to vote and you just might have a fighting chance. Oh, and probably stop saying and doing racist shit every chance y'all get.
You know the GOP's in trouble when 15% is the target. Of course, that's nearly double what Mitt Romney received in 2012, so perhaps 15% is optimistic.
So how's that bigoty, WASPy Southern Strategy thingy workin' out for ya? Probably about as well as it did the year some of my readers were born. Just for funsies, let's do the time warp again!
"In a number of ways, the Republican Party has sought to make this the year it would break the Democratic hammerlock on the votes of black Americans.
Starting with the windfall of Gen. Colin L. Powell's announcement of Republican affiliation, and continuing with Bob Dole's choice of Jack Kemp as his running mate, party officials allowed themselves to hope that their Presidential ticket might pull 15 percent or 16 percent of the black vote this year, up from 11 percent for George Bush in 1992. In the euphoria of the San Diego convention, one top campaign official set the target at 20 percent.
But there is no sign the Republicans are actually gaining; in the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, in fact, they are doing worse than in 1992. Only 3 percent of the black respondents in the survey, completed early this month, said they intended to vote for the Dole-Kemp ticket, and only 7 percent said they would vote for the Republican House candidate in their district." — "G.O.P. Tries Hard to Win Black Votes, but Recent History Works Against It," The New York Times, Sept. 19, 1996
Aim low, fellas.

Todd Starnes: And yet, there seems to be this opinion on the other side that says, you know what, you and I don't deserve the same rights. You know, it's as if we're second-class citizens now because we support the traditional, Biblical definition of marriage, or perhaps we are pro-life, and that means we're somehow second-class citizens who don't deserve to be in the public marketplace of ideas.
Sandy Rios: Absolutely. In fact, it'll be worse than that. You know there's going to be punishment. There will be tremendous punishment. If gay marriage is embraced by the country, if the Supreme Court goes south this week in its hearings, we are in for – of course, we're not going to hear about it until June – but we are in for persecution like we have never seen it.
Starnes: Well, it's already started.
Fox News Radio's Todd Starnes and American Family Radio's Sandy Rios displaying a jaw-dropping lack of awareness when discussing marriage equality.
I nearly choked on my goddamn coffee when I heard this fuckery come out of their mouths. Let's just hit the basic point: EVERY bill passed for marriage equality has a religious exemption. Period.
And clergy have every right to refuse to marry anyone. Don't believe me? Go to a Catholic priest, demand he marry you and your significant other on the spot, and mention that neither of you is Catholic, but he just HAS to do it. Hint: He won't.
P.S. — If you want to uphold "traditional, Biblical" definitions of marriage and think it's one man and one woman, you clearly didn't read that book closely.
I just can't with some people…
Sorry to go all sciencey on you there, I know you hate that kind of thing.
Somewhere, Sean Hannity is listening to Aerosmith and screaming at an intern, "GET BRUCE WILLIS IN MY STUDIO NOW!"
…said no one but Fox Nation.
*Grabs newspaper*
Dick Cheney is NOT a Wyoming native. Richard "Dick" Bruce Cheney was born January 30, 1941 in Lincoln, Nebraska. NEBRASKA DAMMIT!
Speaking of which, you cornhuskers are decades overdue in collecting your trash. Claim him as your native son, or we'll build an aircraft carrier and turn it eastward.
Do you really think the president's children are the same kind of target as every school child in America? That's ridiculous and you know it, sir.
Fox News host Chris Wallace to NRA spokesman Wayne LaPierre regarding the NRA's poorly-received ad using President Barack Obama's children.
Look, when even Fox News is calling bullshit on your gun advocacy shenanigans, just maybe you're full of shit.
Ann Coulter visited Sean Hannity's show Monday night to discuss President Obama's recent cabinet picks as well as his possible actions on gun control. Coulter said she had just come back from England where they have "not bought into" the "diversity enthusiasm" of the States. "The liberals," Coulter claimed, are "pushing and pushing and pushing" to have more mass murderers of color. "If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium," Coulter said. "So perhaps it's not a gun problem, it's a demographic problem.
They're trolling us now, right? RIGHT?
"But even worse is the way some textbooks are pushing the liberal agenda," Fox News host [Eric Bolling] explained, pointing to an algebra worksheet that Scholastic says gives students "[i]nsight into the distributive property as it applies to multiplication."
"Distribute the wealth!" Bolling exclaimed, reading the worksheet. "Distribute the wealth with the lovely rich girl with a big ole bag of money, handing some money out." Co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle explained that the algebra worksheet had put her on "high alert" for the liberal agenda in her 6-year-old son's curriculum.
DISTRIBUTING THE WEALTH? Oh, it's just a math lesson though… taught by leftist indoctrination centers!
For the record, here's the worksheet. So if it were apples and a first grade class, would it then be teaching them to rely on handouts for food like FOOD STAMPS OMG instead of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps?
Here's a Fox News math lesson:
Teacher: "If I have three apples, and I give Jimmy one apple, how many do I have left?"
Eric Bolling: "Why doesn't Jimmy have his own apples? Why can't he be responsible for himself?"
Kimberly Guilfoyle: "YEAH! He should bring his own!"
Teacher: "It's just an example, folks. He uh, didn't have one because his parents were out. Now let's continue with —"
Dana Perino: "— Why don't they have apples? Because they spent all their welfare on DRUGS and now JIMMMY expects a HANDOUT?!"
Teacher: "*sigh* Class dismissed…"
Greg Gutfield: "Oh, now you're starting a leftist 'class war' and saying we shouldn't have class? MARXIST!"
Yep, that's exactly how it would go.
First, this is not The Onion.
And I thought Fox News was all like "Jesus is the reason for the season so put Christ in Christmas because it's CHRISTmas BLARRGH!"
Guess I missed something…
"Lady Gaga spies intruders on property while up at night naked, eating Thanksgiving leftovers" — in other words, she's just like us.
Fox News IS SO ON IT YOU GUISE!
Journo protip: Don't put the story in the headline. You can do this, and still not bury the lede. I promise.

These Freedom Mother poems are examples of Mother poems about Freedom. These are the best examples of Freedom Mother poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
(W)- A real woman knows that the wages of sin is death so she is not concerned about the wages of a real man, because money comes and goes like day and night; but true love comes just every blue moon. A real woman isn't loud and doesn't have to be the center of attention. Money is a gold-diggers virtue, while patience is a real woman's virtue. A real woman is always wary of the image she displays to the world because she knows her children are watching her every move. A real woman's wisdom comes from the teachings of her elders and the experiences and hardships life brings. A real woman is the wings that help a broken man learn to fly again. When you become the object of a real woman's affection, winning is the only option.
(O)- A real woman's main obligation is to better herself, before she attempts to become someone's better half. A real woman is very obliged with all that God has blessed her with. When a man takes a real woman for granted, she makes up her mind to put him away into oblivion. A real woman is use to jumping hurdles because overcoming obstacles in life keeps her on the right track. A real woman doesn't spend her time worrying if failure is around the corner, because she occupies her freedom chasing her dreams in her most comfortable running shoes. A real woman is a hopeless romantic ready to be wooed with an odyssey of love with a real man by her side.
(M)- A real woman's presence is magnanimous and captures attention because of the poised and elegant stature of her classy nature. A real woman is like the magnet of ecstasy. All women don't attend college or hold prestigious employment, but for many being the Valedictorian of mothers everywhere is the major of their lives. A real woman respects the art of marriage and believes in monogamy. A real woman's life is the motion picture of sophistication. The mythology of a woman began within a man's ribs and ends in the beat of his heart.
(A)- A real woman sticks to her man like glue and never abandons his side. A real woman has the ability to do anything a man can. A real woman has the power to fill the abyss of a man's pains with joy. A real woman prays with her other half because faith is the key of remaining on one accord. A real woman will amaze you with the way she adapts to changes in her ambiance. A real woman is the architect of her own destiny.
(N) A real woman needs a man to understand and love her for everything she is and for everything she is not because a good support system is a leading factor in longevity within relationships. A real woman is the nexus between love and happiness. When you converse with a real woman you will realize that she is nimble with her every response. No man can ignore the nymph of a real woman, because it is in her D.N.A to be notable.
Teenage Girls clad in the latest fashions,
Do it whenever they meet,
Grown men aren't afraid to show some passion,
When their team's comeback is complete,
They can say hello, they can say goodbye,
And anything inbetween,
If you open your arms and crack a smile,
There is nothing that a hug cannot mean.
Thank you – Zamreen Zarook
Thank you is a sweet word in the nature,
You may be a guy of adventure,
May be you are a person of agriculture,
What matters is your architecture.
Never forget the people, who guided you,
In no degree neglect who were with you,
Don't ever overlook a creature, who gave a smile to you,
Because, you will meet them above you.
People forget the past due to selfishness,
They have no time to remember their unawareness,
Society, most of the times behave in awfulness,
They will understand when their lives come in to bitterness.
Be a person to thank and remember,
Don't consider them as December,
Because, you might need them in November,
So, always be as a good subscriber.
I stand at your grave.
I do not know your name.
I know not where you are from.
Where you fought,
nor where you died.
The horrors and pain you suffered,
were not in vain.
The death and destruction brought you pain.
I weep at your grave,
for the life you gave.
I weep for the Mother,
that gave you that life.
I kneel before your grave.
I bow my head in gratitude to you,
The Unknown Soldier.
Forever Remembered.
Someone's mother
A wife
Your sister
My aunt
Beaten abused..
Battered an broken
Blaming themselves
In the shadows
Feeling invisible
Some are lost
Scars are there
Wings sprout ..
They fly
Can you see me?
This is my view of growing up around women abused an violated.
By TG Green
Let the Deicide commence.
You're a voyeur at best!
Your vampiric heart is beating out of your chest!
And you have slayed the ones whom would love you for anything less
Ready to consume the final fragments of innocence,
And for you there is no forgiveness,
On your knees pleading, screaming to a tyrant in the skies;
The father of lies.
I will never be enslaved in your superiority
The people agree: jaded of your false dichotomies.
Know: I will be whomever nature intends to be
Apollo and I will share our dreams,
and you will be forced to see
your failure!
I know who you are...
Readily the first to present your scars
Chained by some despot or mental czar
An emotional homunculus in your mind, behind bars
Reluctant to escape - even when proven fake
Your demented mind - depths no one will penetrate!
...And you see me suffering
Not caring of any casualties
Just as long you recieve your safeguard of sympathy
So very wary of the masses and their Anarchy; Liberious ways
Solipsist - Is there no one you can see?
Even if she was presented burning?
Solipsist - Is there no one you can believe?
Even if Sophia was screaming?
Solipsist - Know you have killed and abused me
Imprisoned in your own personal reality
someone always told me this with tears in her eyes...
(for Lata Sethi's late-mother, who was my mother's 'sister' and who took us all into her heart, and for Lata and Ravi Sethi of Defence Colony, New Delhi)
a wife left South Africa in the 1960's to join her husband
who was in exile at the time...
in 1970 the husband was sent by the African National Congress to India to be its representative there...
the husband and wife spent two years in Bombay...
one afternoon the husband fell and broke his leg...
the wife knocked on their neighbour's door, in an apartment complex in Bombay
the neighbour was an old Punjabi lady...
the wife asked the neighbour for a doctor to see to the injured husband...
a Parsi 'Bone-Setter' was promptly summoned...
the husband still recalls his anxiety of seeing 'Bone-Setter' written on the Parsi gentleman's bag...
by the way, the 'Bone-Setter' worked his ancient craft and surprisingly for the husband, his broken leg healed quite soon...
but still on that day, while the 'Bone-Setter' was seeing to the husband...
the wife and the old Punjabi lady from next door got to talking about this and that and where these new Indian-looking wife and husband were from as their accents were clearly not local...
the wife told the elderly Punjabi lady that the husband worked for the African National Congress of South Africa and had left to serve the ANC from exile...
and that they had left their two children behind in South Africa and that they were now essentially political refugees...
the Punjabi lady broke down and wept uncontrollably...
she told the foreign woman that she too had had to leave her home in Lahore in 1947 and flee to India with only the clothes on her back when the partition of the subcontinent took place and Pakistan was formed and at a time when Hindus from Pakistan fled to India and vice versa...
the Punjabi lady then asked the foreign woman her name...
'Zubeida', but you can call me 'Zubie'...
the Punjabi woman hugged Zubie some more, and the two women, seperated by age and geography, wept, sharing a shared pain...
the Punjabi woman told Zubie that she was her 'sister' from that day on, and that she felt that pain of exile and forced migration and what being a refugee felt like...
Zubie and her husband Mosie became the closest of friends with the Hindu Punjabi neighbours who were kicked out of Pakistan by Muslims...
then came the time for Mosie and Zubie to leave for Delhi where the African National Congress office was based...
the elderly Punjabi lady and Mosie and Zubie said their goodbyes...
a year or two later, the elderly Punjabi lady's daughter Lata married Ravi Sethi and the couple moved to Delhi...
the elderly Punjabi lady called Zubie and told her that her daughter was coming to Delhi to live and that she had told Lata, her daughter that she had a 'sister' in Delhi...
Lata and Ravi Sethi then moved to Delhi...
This was in the mid-1970's...
Lata and Zubie became the closest of friends and that bond stayed true, and stays true till today, though Zubie is no more, and the elderly Punjabi lady is no more...
the son and the husband still have a bond with Lata and Ravi Sethi...
a bond that was forged between Hindu and Muslim and between two continents across the barriers of creed and time...
a bond strong and resilient, forged by the pain and trauma of a shared experience...
and that is why, and I shall never stop believing this, that hope shines still, for with all the talk of this and of that, and of that and of this, there will always be a simple woman, somewhere, anywhere, who would take the 'other' in as a sister, a fellow human...
and that is why there will always be hope...
hope in the midst of this and of that and of that and of this...
(for Lata Sethi's late-mother, who was my mother's 'sister' and who took us all into her heart, and for Lata and Ravi Sethi of Defence Colony, New Delhi)
The Women
(for the countless women, names unknown, who bore the brunt of Apartheid, and who fought the racist system at great cost to themselves and their families, and for my mother, Zubeida Moolla)
Pregnant, your husband on the run,
your daughter, a child, a few years old,
they hauled you in, these brutish men,
into the bowels of Apartheid's racist hell.
They wanted information, you gave them nothing,
these savage men, who skin happened to be lighter,
and white was right in South Africa back then,
but, you did not cower, you stood resolute,
you, my mother, faced them down, their power,
their 'racial superiority', their taunts, their threats.
You, my mother, would not, could not break,
You stood firm, you stood tall.
You, like the countless mothers did not break, did not fall.
You told me many things, of the pains, the struggles,
the scraping for scraps, the desolation of separation
from your beloved Tasneem and your beloved Azad,
my elder sister and brother, whom I could not grow
up with, your beloved children separated by time, by place,
by monstrous Apartheid, by brutish men,
whose skin just happened to be lighter.
You told me many things, as I grew older,
of the years in exile, of the winters that grew ever colder.
You were a fighter, for a just cause,
like countless other South African women,
you sacrificed much, you suffered the pangs,
of memories that cut into your bone, your marrow,
you resisted a system, an ideology, brutal and callous and narrow.
Yes, you lived to see freedom arrive, yet you suffered still,
a family torn apart, and struggling to rebuild a life,
all the while, nursing a void, that nothing could ever fill.
I salute you, mother, as I salute the nameless mothers,
the countless sisters, daughters, women of this land,
who fought, sacrificing it all for taking a moral stand.
I salute you, my mother, and though you have passed,
your body interred in your beloved South African soil,
you shall remain, within me, an ever-present reminder,
of the cost of freedom, the struggles, the hunger, the toil.
I salute you!
(for the brave women of South Africa, of all colours,
who fought against racial discrimination and Apartheid)
Gun fire all around, bombs going off in the distance
It was some of the angry mobs and resistance
Father was the king of SafeHaven a small kingdom
Like all other kingdoms it fell in random
Fire started in the castle
And along with it came a battle
It was a distance memory now because the child has now grew
Many things in this child that made memories stew
My name is Mastrey, a young orphan who was there that night
Mastrey saw her in the distance and her father and mother in his sight
Everyone was loud that night and made all the children hide
But that evening Mastrey saw her mother and father die
She ran into the bushes in such a fright
And evil doers were running around with flashlights
Mastrey remember it as he distracted them
Her eyes was so confused with problems
Mastrey new that it was because of what just occurred
His feelings of what those people did was not awkward
The distraction worked, he went back to were she was
Hiding and very scared she was, he asked her, can you trust me just because?
Her answer that night depended on her lively hood
As Mastrey was their with his hand reaching out to her as he stood
Pulling her up from the ground he looked into her eyes that were SeaBlue
Mastrey had made a life long friend and love, She knew it was true
Next: My Story Telling, Who is this Princess
Patradoot or the Messenger 35/Many……….
English version by Ravindra K Kapoor
Originally written in Hindi by my
Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor
The moment she would notice during her plays,
She would shout 'ltter' 'ltter'* in her broken voice,
Showing the expressions of amazing happiness, dear letter,
Because you would be arriving, from her father's place, dear.
Her innocence would come out from her expressions,
And from the melody of her broken words, dear,
When, she in her lisping sweet and broken voice,
Would express her affection for her father, dear letter.
While adoring and loving you in her sweet little mind,
She would take you towards east, dear letter,
To tell her mother that you have come, she would,
Convey that in her broken sweet words to her mother.
Filled with the happiness given by the girl child,
In the garden, you keep moving towards the door,
Till you reach and see my beloved sitting there,
Singing a lullaby for her darling child, dear letter.
Keeping her eyes on the front door with hopes,
She was praying for me from police atrocities,
With wishes and hopes in her mind, dear letter,
She would be waiting with love in her eyes for me.

Patradoot in Hindi was originally written by my late father
Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor around 1932, who was a freedom fighter.
He wrote Patradoot in Hindi, when he was kept in Faizabad Jail for quite
a long time. The Epic was written as a gift for my mother and it was
sent to her secretly from Faizabad Jail. He was imprisoned
by the British, as he was fighting for India's freedom
under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. He was imprisoned
many times during 1920 to 1947. After India's
independence as a true follower of Gandhi Dr. Amar Nath
Kapoor left active politics and devoted rest of his life in
writing easy mass literature and wrote many Dramas,
Poetry books, epics. All his other literary
works were mainly written from 1955 to 1990.
He left this mortal world in 1994.

Abstract. The high resolution mass spectra of organic and inorganic aerosols from aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) measurements were first combined into positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis to investigate the sources and evolution processes of atmospheric aerosols. The new approach is able to study the mixing of organic aerosols (OA) and inorganic species, the acidity of OA factors, and the fragment ion patterns related to photochemical processing. In this study, PMF analysis of the unified AMS spectral matrices resolved 8 factors for the submicron aerosols measured at Queens College in New York City in summer 2009. The hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA) and cooking OA (COA) contain very minor inorganic species, indicating the different sources and mixing characteristics between primary OA and secondary species. The two factors that are primarily ammonium sulfate (SO4-OA) and ammonium nitrate (NO3-OA), respectively, are overall neutralized, of which the OA in SO4-OA shows the highest oxidation state (O/C = 0.69) among OA factors. The semi-volatile oxygenated OA comprises two components, i.e., a less oxidized (LO-OOA) and a more oxidized (MO-OOA). The MO-OOA represents a local photochemical product with the diurnal profile exhibiting a pronounced noon peak, consistent with those of formaldehyde (HCHO) and Ox (= O3+NO2). The much higher NO+/NO2+ fragment ion ratio in MO-OOA than that from ammonium nitrate alone provides evidence for the formation of organic nitrates. The amine-related nitrogen-enriched OA (NOA) contains ~25% of acidic inorganic salts, elucidating the formation of secondary OA from amines in acidic environments. The size distributions derived from 3-dimensional size-resolved mass spectra show distinct diurnal evolving behaviors for different OA factors, but overall a progressing evolution from smaller to larger particle mode as a function of oxidation states. Our results demonstrate that PMF analysis by incorporating inorganic aerosols is of importance for gaining more insights into the sources and processes, mixing characteristics, and acidity of OA.

Why is the current situation in Ukraine happening? Why are the US funding and driving this insane provocative campaign on Russia's doorstep at this time? Why are European leaders shooting themselves in the foot by supporting this instead of building closer economic tioes with Russia? Why are the media in lockstep demonising Putin and Russia. Who benefitted from the downing of MH17 and how? This is an analysis of some of the events in Ukraine and their possible motivations from the lens of US hegemony over Europe,maintaining their position as world reserve currency, and controlling the world's major oil and gas reserves read full story / add a comment

The filming of scenes for Star Wars: Episode VII began yesterday on Skellig Michael in Co Kerry. Many have expressed outrage at the underhanded way in which this information was kept from the Irish public until a few days ago. The Irish Independent has learnt that when negotiations began over six months ago it was feared if news of the proposed filming leaked out it could attract opposition from conservation groups. Also, At a time when Gaza is suffering a genocide at the hands of the Israeli government, the Irish government has underhandedly permitted Disney, (a company which is on every boycott list of companies which support Israel), who acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 for $4.05 billion (wiki), to come into Ireland and film on one of our most sacred and ancient sites. read full story / add a comment

Yesterday, we held a very successful meeting in Dublin in solidarity with the antifascist resistance, and the brave people of Ukraine under constant threat from the fascist Kiev regime.
Once proceedings got under way we were connected through a skype call to a surgeon who gave us all an account of what was going on in his region, and in his hospital. One of the main things he emphasised was the need for money and medical supplies, and how there are another 3 hospitals in the region too were medical supplies need divided around between them. We were also connected to 3 other citizens in Ukraine who all gave harrowing accounts of the situation there. Indeed, it was a very emotional and moving meeting for all concerned.
We had a great contribution from the floor too with such questions raised as to how we can all help, and how we can combat against the lies being spun by the media.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Communist Party of Ireland for the use of the venue, and everybody for making the meeting possible, during this critical time in Ukraine. The process of launching a campaign in support of the antifascist resistance in Ukraine has begun, but again, we need all of your support to make it work.

The essential point is that Sinn Fein/IRA betrayed its core principles many years ago when it officially accepted the existence of political partition and its two reactionary states on both sides of the border. This means it accepts the validity of the imperialist domination of the island of Ireland.

The term gentrification was coined in 1964 by sociologist Ruth Glass. She defined it as a change in the social structure and housing market in working class areas. She explained "One by one, many of the working class quarters have been invaded by the middle class - upper and lower ... Once this process of 'gentrification' starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the working class occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed" (Glass, 1964, p.xvii). read full story / add a comment

Another leaked phone call. This time between the Estonian FM and Catherine Ashton. It would seem to indicate that the same shooters on the rootops in Ukraine were shooting people on BOTH sides.
People have seen this kind of thing before in previous coups by the West such as the attempted coup against Chavez. It was used at the start of the Syria crisis before foreign mercenaries invaded and escalated matters much higher. It is standard operating procedure, dirty tricks 101.

The Lessons Presidents' Day TeachesFebruary 17th, 2014
George Washington's life gives testimony to the fact that great leaders can accomplish great things. Abraham Lincoln's life is testament to what great things can be accomplished through persistence and determination.
They were men of very different backgrounds. Washington was born into southern colonial gentry. A brash, even impetuous teen, he succeeded at nearly everything, rising to lead the victorious revolutionary army and finally, to become the first president of our new nation.

Police say Maine brothers were 'eelusive' poachers
A bucket of baby eels confiscated by Fish and Game officers after two Maine men were arrested for allegedly poaching the eels. (Jason Schreiber)
Matthew Kinney, 29, of Bremen, and his brother, Justin, 35, of Mount Vernon, face several charges after they were scooped up by authorities following a land and air search that lasted nearly four hours.
Fish and Game Lt. Michael Eastman said authorities received a tip early Friday morning that two men were catching baby American eels in the Hampton River near Route 1.
Eastman said two conservation officers responded to the area shortly before 5 a.m. and found that the brothers had a "substantial amount" of young eels, which are illegal to harvest in New Hampshire.
When one of the officers attempted to arrest Matthew Kinney, Eastman said, Kinney assaulted the officer, was pepper-sprayed, and then fell into the river and later fled into the woods with a handcuff on one of his wrists. Justin Kinney ran into the marsh grass and was arrested a short time later.
Eastman did not identify the conservation officer who was assaulted, but he said the officer wasn't injured.
Police from Kensington, Hampton Falls and Seabrook, along with Fish and Game officers, New Hampshire State Police, Fish and Game and search dogs and a helicopter, assisted in the hunt for Matthew Kinney.
The dogs eventually sniffed out a track leading from the area where Matthew Kinney was last seen to the Hampton Falls Inn on Route 1. Eastman said authorities learned that the brothers had rented a room at the hotel Thursday night. They found Matthew Kinney inside his hotel room around 9:15 a.m. Friday removing his wet clothing and arrested him.
Eastman said Maine and South Carolina are the only states on the East Coast where the harvesting of young eels, also known as elvers, is legal with a license.
"They were pretty much down here to poach elvers to take back to Maine to sell," Eastman said.
Illegal harvesting of baby eels has become a growing problem in New Hampshire as their selling price has skyrocketed in recent years, prompting state Fish and Game officials to crack down.
According to officials, poachers illegally catch the baby eels here and sell them to a dealer who ships them overseas to be raised and sold for meat once they're grown.
"The demand has pushed the price right up there," Eastman said. He said the number of poaching cases locally has climbed over the last three years.
"This is pretty much like having a duck season where all you can shoot is ducklings. They're taking immature eels, or young eels. What we're seeing is that this poaching is causing the bigger eels, the American eels, to decline," Eastman said.
Eastman wasn't sure how many baby eels were caught by the Kinneys, but he said the amount was typical of what authorities have seen recently.
The arrests come a month after Phillip Parker of Candia was cited by Maine's Marine Patrol for allegedly illegally possessing 41 pounds of baby eels. Maine authorities said an investigation showed that Parker intended to sell the eels without a license. It was the largest case of illegal possession of eels in the fishery's history, according to Maine officials.
Meanwhile, Matthew Kinney is charged with simple assault, disobeying a conservation officer, resisting arrest, taking American eels less than 6 inches long, and taking without a harvest permit. He's being held on $5,000 cash bail.
Justin Kinney is charged with disobeying a conservation officer, providing false information to law enforcement, hindering apprehension, taking American eels less than 6 inches long and taking without a harvest permit. His bail was set at $2,500 cash.
The brothers, both of whom face thousands of dollars in fines if convicted. were being held at the Rockigham County jail and will be arraigned Monday in the 10th Circuit Court in Seabrook.

Mobile users can now see Google Instant Previews when they use the search engine, Google announced Tuesday on its Google Mobile blog.
Instant Previews is now available on mobile for Android 2.2 and up or iOS 4.0 and up devices and in 38 languages, Brian Ngo from the Mobile Search team wrote.
The mobile version works much like the non-mobile desktop version where users can compare each front page website visually and choose the best results for their needs faster.
While the new Instant Previews for mobile isn't earth-shaking, it does show that Google intends that its mobile search be as relevant as it s desktop one.

Look, I believe in love. When I am in love, I am all the way in–silly letters, pet names, sexual favors, extravagant baking, whatever. I am very into all of it and have learned how to be a pretty great girlfriend at this point. But I try not to lose my independence or my backbone. I try because for a long time I did sacrifice these things for "love" and guess what? I always ended up the loser, in terrible relationships. It is just not healthy to suggest that imprinting or stalking or codependency is romantic. It's unhealthy. It means that your partner has no interests outside of you. I'm interesting but I'm not THAT interesting. If you date me, you are going to need a hobby because clearly, I have lots of hobbies and I can't sit around staring at you while movies like this are being made. If your man (or woman), can't be apart from you ever? SOMETHING IS WRONG.

Red is usually a color to represent Passion and hearts a symbol of Love .Although science confirms that those feelings are originated in our brains when chemical substances are released, such as endorphins, adrenaline, serotonin,dopamine etc…The logical response of why we produce that feeling is the survival of the species.
Literature and art illustrates the complicated interaction between humans and how many times it ends in passionate crimes that leads to the bloodshed .History confirms some crazy love stories that built and destroyed empires and civilizations.All these don't seem to be very evolutive ,psychologists explains it as a pathological state of the mind.
All these makes me think that we are steel very primitive even if we belive we are super evolved.Because everything we do is related to the survival of our species and in between of those lines is where all the strong feeling of being alive,loved,connected to our environment lingers, resulting in the majesty of humanity , leading us to create, think and keep evolving and loving.

There was a time when it was rare to spot a creature like Zebra's Bistro and Wine Bar beyond city limits. Zebra's opened in Medfield in 1999, when suburban restaurant meals often came packaged in greasy cardboard containers. That's not the case anymore. For a restaurant critic, one of this year's refrains is "Fine dining takes over the suburbs." City rents are sky high, and the existing market in surrounding towns is finally being recognized. How nice to go out for dinner without a long drive for dessert.
But if Zebra's is no longer an exception, it is still notable. Executive chef Brendan Pelley took the helm last year, bringing with him experience at restaurants including Clio, Summer Winter in Burlington, Tryst in Beverly, the Franklin Cape Ann and Alchemy in Gloucester, and the Stonehedge Inn & Spa in Tyngsborough — a veritable tour of fine dining beyond Boston city limits. Set Zebra's more centrally, though, and it would fit right in, with local-beer dinners, produce grown in its own kitchen garden, and relationships with area farms.

Blogging NY Magazine: Green Backlash
For Real? In an attempt to cash in on the concern, many consumer products are labeled "green" and don't really qualify — or make any sense. In one of this week's features, Greener Postures, New York Magazine looks at twelve unique "green" products for the new "green consumer." They attempt to evaluate the usefulness and of each. While some are completely ridiculous and redundant, others make a little sense. Check it out.

What you mean you aren't going to run right out to buy a gizmo SPECIFICALLY to dry your plastic bags after you wash them?
How this product even made it to the market is a complete mystery to me.
I've seen a lot of ridiculous 'green' articles and items on this blog and others, no doubt written by people who left science and math behind in high school. USA! USA!
The sink top toilets are standard in Japan -- they work really well and are so smart!
i'm sorry - i must be slow today (the ac in our office is broken and it is 94 degrees outside) but i really don't understand why you need to wash your hands BEFORE using the toilet?
Elizabeth- You don't wash before, but by washing you help fill the tank for the next person.
Possible TMI, but I'm a huge fan of what this article refers to as, "the cup thing." (www.keeper.com for more info) Happiness is never having to bum a tampon off a complete stranger in a public restroom. I rinse mine out in the shower every morning, and then boil it to sterilize before putting it away each month. The fact that it's green is really just a bonus; I like it because of the convenience, honestly.
cspan, how difficult is it to insert it properly? I've been looking at those for a while, but been hesitant to try.
Yes, I've wondered about the ease of insertion, too, and also wondered how well they fare in terms of leakage if you have a heavy flow.......
Regarding the toilet top sink-
we too saw these everywhere in Japan. The sink water turns on automatically when the toilet flushes. Oddly though we never saw one with soap in all three weeks we were traveling.
The writing in that article is hysterical.
But, um, is there really a discussion of "insertion" and "flow" going on here?

Women's basketball drops decision at Denver
Boxscore | NC Season Stats
DENVER, Colo. – Sophomore guard Victoria Timm continued to play well for the Northern Colorado women's basketball team, but it was not enough as the Denver Pioneers out-scored the Bears 20-7 over the final 9:04 for the 56-45 victory in Magness Arena on Tuesday evening.
Timm led the team with 14 points, tallied a career-best seven steals and added six rebounds. Fellow sophomore Lauren Oosdyke was the other Bear in double figures, scoring 13 and leading the team with eight rebounds and three assists.
"I thought the zone (defense) hurt us a little bit," said Head Coach Jaime White. "We had some transition baskets we didn't finish. I felt like we got behind, then we made consecutive mistakes and all of the sudden those loose balls go for two points for Denver."
Oosdyke tied her career-high in steals with five, knotting her tally from earlier this year at UC Santa Barbara. Timm also had a career-high with steals in the game, getting seven, bettering her previous best of five from earlier this year against South Dakota.
"Victoria got a lot of touches on the ball," said White. "If we recover half the touches she made, she has 14 steals tonight. Victoria played hard and got a lot of rebounds, she almost led us tonight. We're going to have to have her to continue to come off the bench and play strong. Jayne (Strand) played really hard and Lauren had a great game."
At the 12:45 mark of the first half, senior guard Courtney Stoermer recorded the 400th rebound of her career off a blocked shot by Timm.
Northern Colorado notched a season-best 15 steals in the game, but had 22 turnovers. The team shot .340 from the field for the game, but managed just .233 in the second half (7-for-30) after hitting .478 in the first stanza (11-for-23).
Denver was led by freshman guard Quincy Noonan and Kaetlyn Murdoch with 17 points each. A total of 11 of Murdoch's points were at the free throw line and she also had a game-high nine rebounds. Noonan hit three of the team's six three-pointers, while Britteni Rice led the way with four assists and Murdoch had six blocks.
"I thought we did a good job on (Brianna) Culberson," said White. "Quincy Noonan surprised me. She was a silent killer and scored on a couple of kick-out threes. Quincy's a big guard and got some touches on a lot of balls and that hurt us."
Oosdyke led all players with 10 points at the break and she also had three of the team's five steals. Both Timm and senior Jayne Strand also led the game with four rebounds.
"The spin reverse in the post hurt us," said White. "Some people call and some people don't and tonight they were. The other we got called for is traveling off of shot fakes. We will continue to work on those things. We're making simple mistakes and that's a good thing because those things can fixed."
The Bears now get almost a week off, returning to the friendly hardwood in Butler-Hancock on Monday against San Francisco at 7:00 pm.
"We need the rest before San Francisco," closed White. "We went right from finals onto the road for the Nebraska game and then right here. It will be nice to have a break. We will take tomorrow off and then get back to practice on Thursday."

Indian outsourcing company Wipro is delaying its planned software development center in Atlanta, Ga., according to an IDG story in The New York Times.
The company announced plans for the U.S. facility in August. The IDG story provides no new timetable, however, but quotes the company as saying:
We are not shying away from what we plan to do in Atlanta but it is taking more time than expected.
Third quarters typically are weak in the outsourcing industry, and that quarter this year was the weakest in 10 years, according to outsourcing consultancy Technology Partners International. Wipro's profit grew only 1.3 percent during that period.
However, the company is pushing forward with plans to move into African markets, according to this Economic Times article.
