More than 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's, which is characterized by an excessive amount of proteins that build up in plaque deposits and cause damage to nerve cells and inflammation in the brain. The disease was recently ranked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), agency of the U.S. Public Health Service since 1973, with headquarters in Atlanta; it was established in 1946 as the Communicable Disease Center. as the sixth-leading cause of death in the country, and societal costs of Alzheimer's amount to nearly $150 billion each year.
The drug being tested in this study seeks to stop the protein amyloid beta from binding to a receptor in the brain called RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation endproducts). In earlier studies, inhibiting the RAGE protein in animal models led to a reduction of plaque formation.
The researchers hope that by blocking plaque-caused nerve damage and inflammation, this drug will slow the progressive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease in humans. But regardless of how the drug performs in the study, Ashford said the research is crucial to scientists' understanding of the disorder.

Secrets of self-made millionaires
An author who interviewed rich people offers insights on how they made their money and how they think about wealth.
Do you dream of becoming rich but aren't sure how to make your millions -- or better yet, billions? Then who better to ask than the rich themselves about how they made their way to the top.
Steve Siebold did just that. He's spent nearly 30 years interviewing the world's wealthiest people.
Siebold, the author of "How Rich People Think," (find it on Bing) spoke with U.S. News about what the rich have in common, how self-made millionaires attained their wealth and why now is the best time to strike it rich. Excerpts:
Q: What sparked your fascination with the rich?
A: I was a broke college student in 1984, and I wanted to be rich. But I didn't feel like I was getting the information I needed from my college business classes. In a lot of the classes, the business professors seemed to put down the rich, and that didn't make sense to me. So I started looking for outside sources until I found a millionaire to interview.
Q: Was he difficult to find?
A: Yes, because I didn't know any millionaires and I was just a kid. I was probably 19 years old. And I found the rich don't really like to flaunt their wealth. Most of the rich, in my experience, aren't like Donald Trump -- they're the polar opposite. They want to be left alone, because as soon as people know they've got a lot of money, people come after them and the media goes after them. They want to be quiet and unexposed.
The deal they made with me was I wouldn't give their names out unless they gave me permission, and very few of them gave me permission.
Q: Have you found any commonalities among the people you've interviewed?
A: Their personality styles vary: Some are introverts, some are extroverts. But their belief systems around money are the same. That was the one thread that really helped me throughout the process: They all have a really positive relationship with money. They think about money in terms of freedom, as opposed to the negative relationship a lot of people have with money.
Q: The net worth of the richest Americans grew by 13% in the past year to $1.7 trillion. Does that surprise you?
A: No, not at all. If you look at the global equity markets over the last few years, they're up 18%. As where the average Americans have their money wrapped up in their home equity and low-interest vehicles, like 401k's, the rich have their money in the global equity markets. They've got the money to invest, and it's a good place to be right now. They're also in a nice position because they can afford to lose.
Q: Did self-made millionaires simply work harder than the rest of us to get where they are?
A: Most people think the rich got lucky. People think their money wasn't earned by hard work and strategic, calculated thinking, which is not the truth for most people. There are crooks in every income category, but in my experience, there's no more on the rich side than the poor side.
But it's interesting how the self-made rich are a really hated group. They're discriminated against, even in the wealthiest country of the world. I think it's really sad. I think we should celebrate these people. There's a tendency to demonize them, which I think is just crazy.
Q: Is there any way that contempt some people have for the rich can change?
A: I hope so. It's so easy to take a shot at people who are rich. I hope that, over time, we can change our beliefs in this country, because if we don't lead the way in changing people's beliefs about capitalism and wealth, I think we're really in trouble.
Q: Do rich people feel that resentment to the point where they only want to associate with other rich people?
A: Absolutely. I call it "cocooning." But they don't like to talk about money when they get together. They genuinely like to associate with one another. But many people think it's because the rich think they're better than other people, and it's not -- it's because they're discriminated against. I think they just want to be with similar people who won't discriminate against them. They're a minority that people target, which is why they tend to hide out and stick together.

Q: Richard Branson has said that for people to climb to the top, they have to set seemingly unachievable goals for themselves and rise above them. Is he right?
A: They all seem to do that. They set these huge goals; they want the yachts, they want the vacation homes. One guy told me he was going to take a $400 million company he and his partners were acquiring and sell it for $4 billion. He said they figured on paper they could sell it for $1 billion, but they wanted to sell it for $4 billion because they wanted to stretch themselves.
Guys like Branson set these outrageous goals and they achieve it, so they do it again. Before they make their first $1 million, they may not believe they can make it. But once they overcome that hurdle, it seems to get easier. They get that one big success, which everyone told them they couldn't do, and then they replicate it. They take these nonlinear leaps of success, where they go from $1 million to $10 million to $30 million, and the catalyst is their belief that it's possible. I don't think it's their competence, because a lot of people are competent, but they're confident in themselves.
At some point, they stopped listening to anyone but themselves. They learned to trust themselves so much because of their success.
Q: Why is it your belief that more self-made millionaires will emerge in the next five years than in any other time in history?
A: There all these new problems with the economic crash, all this uncertainty. Corporate America right now is sitting on $2.5 trillion in cash. The whole economy is only $15 trillion. All of this wealth is out there, but a lot of giant corporations are lost. They're dealing with all these new problems: the economic climate, they don't know where to put their money, there's too much government regulation, and they need people to help them figure it out. So there's room for new people to emerge to help solve those problems.
Q: What's the most important lesson the middle class should take away from the rich?
A: I would say that having money and making money and being wealthy is a positive thing -- there's nothing negative about it. They need to ignore all of these messages and this brainwashing that goes on, like people telling them the love of money is the root of all evil. I think the challenge for the average person is to have a positive outlook on being wealthy.
More from U.S. News & World Report:
This article certainly didn't give out much for details, but if you really want to learn how to be rich, read 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill, and 'Total Recall' by Arnold Schwarzenegger, his new autobiography.
There are no real secrets to getting rich - set a goal, and focus all your efforts on reaching it. Find the people you need to help you get there, and ignore the naysayers.
I think Thomas Jefferson said it best in 1801
" A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government"
Too bad we don't have that in contemporary society, we would all be rich.
Well, the title was clearly just to lure us into reading the article. I have no more clue how to get rich now than before I read this article. What I did glean from the article was that the wealthy are in a really nice position right now to get wealthier, and are already taking advantage of that, and getting wealthier. Good for them! That's wise. The suggestion to invest our life savings isn't really an available option to the rest of us because we aren't already wealthy, so the article didn't really help us. As for demonization of the rich, conservatives are lip-locked on them while democrats are reacting to that. The entire era of Bush and Reagan tax cuts was because America favors the wealthy, moreso than any other developed country. The wealthy should try living in Europe for a while. Oh wait, they instead choose America. I wonder why?
Both sides idolized Steve Jobs until Apple's Chinese factories filled with kids was discovered, and both sides really admired Bill Gates until the first anti-trust suit, but his philanthropy has put him back into being admired. Same with Oprah, and any other celebrity. I think most of the other wealthy are just primarily unknown. The Koch brothers and Waltons aren't exactly loved, but between their EPA violations, their out-sourcing, their hiring of illegals, and their pouring their wealth into pundits like Ruch Limbaugh to always defend them from taxes, the reasons they aren't universally admired aren't exactly a mystery, but they are still admired by many, so perhaps the reason why they aren't universally admired is still a mystery to the Tea Party. Trump isn't helping the cause of the wealthy right now, so there will be some backlash, but mostly at him. Also, I hate to break it to Siebold, but the comment that he suspects there are no more wealthy crooks than poor ones is not exactly the high praise he seems to think it is. The poor should be more driven to steal by necessity than the wealthy or middle income groups. Further, the wealthy have several legal options available to them for increasing their wealth that the poor don't have (such as out-sourcing for cheap labor) that kind-of amounts to stealing from the American people because it removes wealth, especially jobs, from our country for the sake of increasing their own personal wealth. I doubt Seibold is counting the hiring of illegal aliens as "stealing" because the wealthy don't serve prison time for it, they simply get a fine. And yes, the bankers who got rich off the Wall Street derivative scheme that crashed the economy aren't loved. Again, no mystery there. Too many stories in the press of dishonesty by the wealthy have put their popularity at an all time low, but I'm afraid that's the same consequence blacks face for too many crimes by members of their race. I don't expect the press to start ignoring crimes by the wealthy, blacking them out and avoid bringing them to our attention, for the sake of keeping any crimes by the wealthy hush hush merely so they always remain popular. What would people say about the press if they did that?
The rich are "discriminated against"? Yes I've seen those "No Rich Allowed" signs at diners. I certainly wouldn't want to hang out with someone that has too much money. What would my friends think?
What a steaming load of manure! I can't believe I read the whole article looking for the "secrets. I want those 5 minutes of my life back MSN!
However, the only possibly worthwhile element was the reference to having a positive relationship with money, though that's quite a trick to pull off in that even someone with property, insurance, and a decent job can lose one or all three in a trice.
In addition, the author too quickly lapsed into hand-wringing about the supposed demonizing of the rich. However, in the United States, it's the poor who are demonized, not the rich, and wealth is generally admired, especially when self-made. When wealth is paired with cruelty, greed, and/or vulgarity, then it is disparaged.
All in all, a wasted article.

The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) supports fundamental research on populations, species, communities, and ecosystems. Scientific emphases range across many evolutionary and ecological patterns and processes at all spatial and temporal scales. Areas of research include biodiversity, phylogenetic systematics, molecular evolution, life history evolution, natural selection, ecology, biogeography, ecosystem services, conservation biology, global change, and biogeochemical cycles. Research on origins, functions, relationships, interactions, and evolutionary history may incorporate field, laboratory, or collection-based approaches; observational or manipulative experiments; synthesis activities; as well as theoretical approaches involving analytical, statistical, or simulation modeling.
Questions? Please see the DEB frequently asked questions FAQ page for answers to many questions commonly posed to DEB program offices. DEB staff may be contacted via electronic mail at individual email addresses or by phone at (703) 292-8480.
Grant Opportunities
Programs and Funding Opportunities are listed on the DEB Home Page.
Deadline Dates
After July 13, 2011 the deadline dates for submission of preliminary proposals to the Division of Environmental Biology Core Programs is January 9. The deadline date for submission of invited full proposals is August 2 unless otherwise stated in specific program announcements. Proposals received by the deadline date will be considered in the next panel review cycle. The earliest possible effective date for an award would be approximately six months after the target date or deadline date.
Research networks and centers of special interest to DEB researchers
NSF provides funding to networks and centers; several of these are likely to be of particular interest to environmental biologists. Funding for these come from DEB and other administrative units at NSF.
Long Term Ecological Research
The National Science Foundation established the LTER program in 1980 to support research on long-term ecological phenomena in the United States. From the original six site-based projects established in 1980, LTER now encompasses 26 projects broadly representing diverse ecosystems. The LTER Network is now a collaborative effort involving more than 1800 scientists and students. The Network promotes synthesis and comparative research across sites and ecosystems and among other related national and international research programs. The LTER Network Office coordinates communication, network data sharing, and research-planning activities, and maintains the network's website (http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/good-bye?http://www.lternet.edu).
National Ecological Observatory Network
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a research platform designed to enhance our understanding of the biosphere at regional and continental scales. Through remote sensing, in-situ observation, experimentation, synthesis, and modeling, NEON will provide researchers with a unique capability to quantify the strong and weak forces regulating the biosphere and predict its response to invasive and climate and landuse change. NEON infrastructure will include field-deployed instrumented towers and sensor arrays, remote sensing capabilities, cutting-edge laboratory instrumentation, natural history archives, and facilities for data analysis, modeling, visualization, and forecasting, all networked through a cyberinfrastructure backbone. Infrastructure will be deployed across the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico using a statistically determined design, stratified by climate and land use. The knowledge base NEON will create, its real time and continuous integrated data, simulation and observation capabilities, and its networked communication will be an asset for formal and informal education and training. A NEON gateway will provide resources to support informal public education and provide opportunities for citizens to actively participate in scientific investigations. NEON, Inc. coordinates NEON Project Management Office's ongoing design and management activities, governance and community participation, and maintains the NEON website (http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/good-bye?http://www.neoninc.org/).
National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS)
Scientists at NCEAS use existing information to address important questions in ecology and allied disciplines. Hundreds of scholars, including Postdoctoral Associates, Sabbatical Fellows, and visitors collaborate in Working Groups each year at the Center on scores of projects. Twice yearly open calls for proposals to the core ecology program, supported by NSF, allow NCEAS to support widely varying fundamental research driven by the needs and interests of the scientific community. Special programs in ecoinformatics and conservation and resource management address specific research needs of partners and sponsors, and may sometimes issue requests for proposals. Visit the NCEAS website (http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/good-bye?http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu) for additional information.
National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent)
In 2004, the Biological Sciences Directorate provided funds to support a National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in Durham, NC. Diverse scientific, cyberinfrastructure and educational activities at the Center facilitate broadly synthetic research to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. The Center sponsors postdoctoral fellows and sabbatical scholars as resident scientists; working groups and catalysis meetings enable teams of visiting scientists to work intensively over an extended period of time to address particular questions or to catalyze new synthetic collaborations. Proposals for these activities are accepted from the broad evolutionary community and are evaluated by an external advisory board. The Center provides analytical tools and computational technologies to support these activities, builds extensible and interoperable software components for evolutionary analyses, and trains the evolutionary biology community to fully realize the potential of these tools. Scientific and bioinformatic activities are solidly integrated with education and outreach to improve evolution education and to broaden participation in evolutionary biology. Visit the NESCent website (http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/good-bye?http://www.nescent.org) for additional information.
Data SharingProposals submitted to all programs in DEB must adhere to the general NSF policy on data sharing as described in the Grant Proposal Guide: the NSF "expects PIs to share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials, created or gathered in the course of the work." Thus, proposals should describe plans for specimen and information management and sharing, including where data and metadata, will be stored and maintained, and the likely schedule for release. These plans will be considered as part of the review process.
Review CriteriaAll proposals to DEB will be evaluated with respect to two general criteria, described in the Grant Proposal Guide - intellectual merit and broader impacts:
The intellectual merit of a proposed activity might address a number of questions. How important is the proposed activity to advancing knowledge and understanding within its own field or across different fields? How well qualified is the proposer (individual or team) to conduct the project? (If appropriate, the reviewer will comment on the quality of prior work.) To what extent does the proposed activity suggest and explore creative and original concepts? How well conceived and organized is the proposed activity? Is there sufficient access to resources?
The broader impacts of the proposed activity might address a number of questions as well. How well does the activity advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning? How well does the proposed activity broaden the participation of underrepresented groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity, disability, geographic, etc.)? To what extent will it enhance the infrastructure for research and education, such as facilities, instrumentation, networks, and partnerships? Will the results be disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding? What may be the benefits of the proposed activity to society?

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I love Horizon Elementary. I feel lucky to have ended up in the boundaries for this school before Crimson View was built. We are no longer in the boundaries, but my kids participate in the Chinese Program. I feel the teaching staff is amazing. I feel like my kids are safe on school grounds. I feel like there is open communication between the teachers/principal to the parents. Great School!!
As a parent, safety is first. For this I beleive Horizon get 5 stars. For parent involvement, another 5 stars. For teacher compidency I give it 3 & 5 stars. Our K students teacher is new and questionable. We spend alot of time on the basics. Our 1st students teacher is also new, but she comes home learning things I had no idea they taught so early on. That being said, the staff, appearance, convience, Horizon is good safe school.

How to get to sleep fast: 8 simple ideasGet your beauty rest! Put yourself to bed with these simple tricks and techniques for catching zzz's.
1. TAKE A BUBBLE BATH: the hot water relaxes your muscles and raises your core temperature. When you get out of the tub, you temperature will start to go down, mimicking what your body normally does to trigger melatonin production, says sleep expert Michael Breus, Ph.D. Why bubbles? "They form a layer of insulation on top, which keeps the water hot longer."
Related: 10 Ways to Fake 8 Hours of Sleep
2. POUR YOURSELF A BOWL: The classic sleep Rx of cornflakes and milk has scientific-backing. The fast-acting carb in the cereal increases tryptophan levels, upping the zzz-inducing brain chemical serotonin. Milk contains melatonin, a.k.a. the sleep hormone.
3. TURN DOWN THE THERMOSTAT: It's more comfortable to sleep in a cool room. But you don't want it to be too cold, either. Experiment to find your just-right temp.
4. CHANGE UP YOUR NIGHTCAP: Too much alcohol can disrupt your sleep patterns but tart cherry juice is practically a melatonin cocktail. To score the benefits, drink a mixture of 2 Tbsp. of tart cherry juice concentrate and 8 oz. of water twice a day. Make sure it's Montmorency cherry—that has six times the melatonin of Balaton tart cherry.
5. TRY RELAXATION TECHNIQUES: The simplest: Climb into bed, turn off the lights, and take a deep breath to a count of four until you feel relaxed.
Related: 15 Easy Ways to De-Stress This Year
6. GOBBLE UP PUMPKIN SEEDS: In addition to tryptophan, pumpkin seeds contain zinc which helps convert tryptophan to slumber-inducing serotonin. For an even bigger boost of these chemicals, mix in carb-rich dried fruit—apples, apricots, or blueberries.
7. GET OUT OF BED: In one study of 79 insomniacs, this one directive was enough to help two-thirds of the participants start to sleep well again within a month. It seems counterintuitive, but spending less time in bed may jump-start your sleep drive.
8. CARB UP: You don't have to wait until bedtime for your sleepy snack. Having carbs like white rice, pasta or white potatoes at dinner as a side is another way to increase levels of tryptophan, and thus serotonin and melatonin.

Updated SAM Unlock Guide [How to]
Have you heard that updated SAM unlock brings many errors fixes that can appear during iPhone unlocking process? If not then use this post for more information about that because here I show you how to use updated SAM avoiding activation errors.
When you have unlocked your iPhone using SAM and saved your activation ticket (use this guide to save it quickly) then you had to noticed that it had not been very easy. SIM card had to be putted in iPhone to locate your IMSI number (this was the first thing where became troubles), activation and deactivation process lasted long with selecting you country and carrier. Also you was needed to be connected to iTunes to verify your IMSI number and other boring things.
With updated SAM 0.1.16-1 you can bypass all these problems and unlock your iPhone quickly. You can also check SAM troubleshooting here. I wrote this guide for those who want to change Carrier and unlock iPhone quickly. You have to know that if you need or want to change your SIM card then you have to perform SAM unlock again.
Updated SAM 0.1.16-1 Fixes
- No need iTunes
- No need your SIM card during unlocking process
- No need IMSI number
So now I show you how to use updated SAM just follow my steps.
How to Use Update SAM Without IMSI number
Step 1. Go to Cydia and install SAM package using this repository:
Step 2. After adding repo, go to Sources and find SAM package.
Step 3. Install SAM.
Step 4. After installing SAM on your iPhone enter your SIM card and launch SAMPrefs icon on the homescreen.
Step 5. Go to the Utility and tap Attempt Activation button and will see box saying "Please wait …. this may take a while".
Note: If there is no Attempt Activation button then try to be patient, because it is occasionally delayed.
Wait till your iPhone resprings and then you will see signal bars appear. After that you may be sure that iPhone unlocked.
And that's it. You have just unlocked your iPhone with updated SAM.
However if you see an error message that asks you to select the original carrier of your SIM ID. You can also use this these steps but better follow my guide below because it is much simpler and appropriate updated SAM:
How to Fix SAM Error
Step 1. Take out your Sim
Step 2. Launch iFile ( if you need to install iFile then go here) and head to:
tap Edit in the top right-hand corner, and choose Lockdown, and tap the zip button to generate a back-up of Lockdown. Browse to the bottom to make sure that a copy zip was made. Now get rid of the Lockdown folder.
Step 3. Go to:
Look for SAM and delete this file:
Step 5. Put in your unofficial Sim.
Step 6. Launch SAMprefs go to Utilities and tap Attempt Activation. After receiving the dialog that say that it can require some time your iPhone will respring.
When you see the signal of your Carrier you can be shore that you have just successfully unlocked your iPhone using SAM. Also now you know how to use updated SAM and can do it again every time you need
Комментариев: 30 to "Updated SAM Unlock Guide [How to]"

This video from Greenpeace shows Conservative MP, and leader of the anti-wind turbine brigade, Chris Heaton-Harris telling an undercover journalist that he hadn't "seen any half decent research" on the negative effects of turbines on birds. Heaton-Harris goes on to tell Greenpeace two weeks later that, erm, "there are international studies pointing at this".
Perhaps Heaton-Harris can enlighten us as to which "international studies" he read in the intervening period.

5 Ways Your Computer Can Help You Study
It's that time of the year again. First year University students are stumbling into post-secondary institutions, wide-eyed and scared, with no idea of what they're doing, where they're going or how they're going to get there. Those who've been in the institution for a while are shaking off the after-effects of a summer of binge drinking, and dragging themselves bodily out of their beds and back to campus.
One of the most difficult aspects of school (aside from organizing and balancing a healthy social life whilst still actually managing to get some work done) would have to be studying. For a lot of us, it's a constant struggle to concentrate, retain, and focus. You'd think one of the most daunting adversaries to effective studying would have to be the computer. After all there is, bar none, no more effective time waster than the internet.
Actually, a computer can be a lot more helpful than you think.
Organize Yourself
Organization still plays a pretty huge part in effective study habits. You need some way to effectively manage your time. There's day timer and calendar software all over the place, some of which allows you to set up automated alerts.
And let's be honest – it's considerably easier to keep a file folder organized than it is a notebook, sheets of paper, course handouts, and…you get the idea. Plus, there are countless applications basically designed to keep you organized and on top of things. Evernote's just one example.
Online Resources
Believe it or not, there's more on the internet than cats, jokes, and porn. There's a reason this is called the information age. There's a positively massive archive of facts, figures and even study strategies out there on the world wide web, if only you know where to look, and how to do it without deciding it couldn't hurt to go on YouTube for a few hours.
More Effective Note Taking
Let's be honest – we're capable of typing way faster than we write. That means we can take down more information at a faster pace, allowing us to consider the information a lot more closely than we would be able to if we were writing. True, shorthand does exist, and there's some contention over how typing effects memory, but I still hold that it's a rather effective means of note taking so long as you're disciplined enough to avoid distractions while doing so.
Believe it or not, music does actually help you focus. You might say "Well, I've got an MP3 player/radio/stereo that does the job just fine." And yeah, that's certainly true, but there's one thing you're failing to account for. YouTube. There's actually a very massive collection of tunes on there, and I've found myself tossing up a tab to the website on more than one occasion to find music to work to. Again, though…don't get distracted. Log on, find your music, and then get to work.
Of course, if you don't think you have the willpower to go on YouTube without watching five hundred separate videos about puppies, you can always look for the numerous free online radio stations, freeware music, or iTunes. The list's a pretty long one, truthfully. You could also try out Pandora.
Fact is, you'll find a lot of music online.
Access To Class Materials
As technology becomes more and more pervasive in our every day lives, more and more professors at post secondary institutions are using computers as a supplementary teaching material. More often than not, a prof will post lecture slides, course information and even study guides and assignments online for all to see.
Don't ignore those resources.
Social Networking
Miss an assignment? Didn't get notes for a particular day of class? Want to organize a study group? Hop online! Social networks are useful for more than just pointless gossip and internet drama. They're also incredibly useful tools for networking with classmates and friends, all of whom can lend you a spot of valuable aid when it comes to passing your class.

Hello Nick,You missed the most important reason for having a computer: Games!
That aside there are other study materials available also for those studying for their MCSE or Novell/Linux certifications you can find many programs that test your knowledge of the topics.
I bought the practice test when I was working on my MCSE, it was worth the money that I paid.
How do I know that?
I barely passed the first exam, then I found the practice tests and aced the next six. Well worth the money and time to use them.
Of course you have to close out that COD-MW3 and Battlefield 3 first (Christmas presents!)
Good read, Thanks!

There's nothing quite like the open-minded Catholic church. The local bishop uses Syria as a counter example as to why there should never be sharing. Yes, as if Syria is supposed to set the example of tolerance for the modern world. Having just been in Córdoba last week, Spain where I visited this magnificent site, it's sad to hear of the continuing ignorance. The Great Mosque was built on top of a former Visigoth church and was then constructed as a mosque – a very large one, at that – over a few hundred years. Back in the days of the structure being a mosque it was known as one of the greatest places in Europe for education. Following the Christian reconquest of Spain a cathedral was constructed in the middle of the mosque. (The cathedral is impressive but doesn't quite compare to the elegance of the mosque.)
Imagine the outrageous idea of religions showing tolerance and getting along. What a crazy idea. CNN:
In fact, the site remains significant for Muslims as a symbol of Islam's golden age of learning and religious tolerance. The Mosque of Cordoba was once famed for allowing both Christians and Muslims to pray together under the same roof.
Now, some Muslims are trying to repeat that history. Mansur Escudero, a Spanish convert to Islam, is leading the movement that is pushing for the right of Muslims to pray at the Cordoba Cathedral.
"I don't think it's important for Muslims. I think it's important for humankind," Escudero says. "We think this is a beautiful paradigm of tolerance, knowledge, culture. People of different religions living together."
On a related note, the wingnuts are running hard on the theme of Muslims building mosques over Christian churches. Yes, there are plenty of examples out there. There are also a number of Christian churches built over mosques (Córdoba being only one example) plus countless churches constructed over other temples.
Many of the older Catholic churches in Peru, for example, were constructed over Inca temples. During a visit there a few years back they were discovering solid old Inca walls that were still standing following an earthquake that damaged the church walls. While I hate to spoil a heavy dose of right wing hysteria and hate, building on top of the church of a previous religion is about as old as religion itself.

And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men also when they come to have grey hair on the temples at their birth. The father will not agree with his children, nor the children with their father, nor guest with his host, nor comrade with comrade; nor will brother be dear to brother as aforetime. Men will dishonor their parents as they grow quickly old, and will carp at them, chiding them with bitter words, hard-hearted they, not knowing the fear of the gods. They will not repay their aged parents the cost of their nurture, for might shall be their right: and one man will sack another's city. There will be no favor for the man who keeps his oath or for the just or for the good; but rather men will praise the evil-doer and his violent dealing. Strength will be right, and reverence will cease to be; and the wicked will hurt the worthy man, speaking false words against him, and will swear an oath upon them. Envy, foul-mouthed, delighting in evil, with scowling face, will go along with wretched men one and all. (via )posted by griphus at 1:42 PM on December 26, 2009 [1 favorite]
A couple of years ago, while researching a treatise on salacious European history, I discovered the phantasmagoric wonderland of sex that was Georgian Britain, the era from 1714 to 1837. Long before the heyday of Austin Powers, debauchery proliferated up and down the rain-soaked land, fueled by riotous boozing and self-indulgence. "There was a gusto about 18th century vice unmatched before or since," writes historian Fergus Linnane with tangible nostalgia, in London: The Wicked City. A flood of wealth from the budding empire allowed the leisured classes to fulfill their carnal fantasies without restraint. And perhaps the most striking feature of the age was the explosion of British sex clubs, where a colorful array of rakes, libertines, courtesans, and aristocratic adventuresses dressed up in outrageous outfits for kinky ceremonies. Each club accumulated its own peculiar regalia, such as erotic drinking vessels, sleazy curios, and obscene ballot boxes modeled on human torsos (yay or nay votes going into respective orifices). There would be ribald toasts, poring over the latest dirty books, and visits from comely young "posture molls," who posed nude on tables and gyrated like modern lap dancers. Special rooms were provided so members could retire in pairs or groups, and ladies of fashion could unwind with handsome rent boys. Surviving accounts suggest that some clubs would spice their orgies with a dash of Satanism, while others focused on elaborate rituals of self-abuse.From Hellfire Holidays - Secrets of the Great British Sex Clubs. In there you'll find enough material to convince your dad that, in fact, we're living in fairly prudish times, all things considered.
My grandpa notes the world's worn cogsposted by Flunkie at 2:25 PM on December 26, 2009 [14 favorites]
And says we're going to the dogs.
His grandpa in his house of logs
Said things were going to the dogs.
His grandpa in the Flemish bogs
Said things were going to the dogs.
His grandpa in his hairy togs
Said things were going to the dogs.
But this is what I wish to state:
The dogs have had an awful wait.
This will be delivered to you by your nephew Jack, who I am glad is taking his leave of a place that beyond doubt is the worst School for Youth of any of his Majestys Dominions, Ignorance, Vanity, Dress & Dissipation being the reigning Characteristicks of their insipid Lives. When you knew it, there was some Emulation, some thirst of knowledge, some pride of becoming really Men, but the Tast now is to be any thing else, that a total disregard of knowledge or a thought of being either of use or of Credit to their Country, can make them.posted by nasreddin at 4:12 PM on December 26, 2009
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.It is perennially the End Times, perpetually the Youth of the City have strayed from the path of righteousness, always God's wrath waxes, incessantly the time of Punishment and Redemption is at hand.
. . . .
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
. . . .
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
. . . .
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on
frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond
words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and
respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise
[disrespectful] and impatient of restraint"
Hesiod, 8th century BC
"What is happening to our young
people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They

of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."
Socrates (apparently disputed), 5th century BC

I care about my children's health as much as any other person, but when it comes to Halloween, it's a high fructose corn syrup kind of night. I think we can manage once a year. But for those (Grinch-y) parents looking for an alternative, you may want to steer clear of pencils. The writing implement ranked as the number one Halloween "treat" kids dislike receiving according to a survey from Cozi.
Honestly, I think keeping kids from eating treats on Halloween really is a grinch-like thing to do. By all means keep candy away the rest of the year. But to withhold all the fun of trick-or treating is really to miss the point.
Oh I know parents who do the "switch witch" (kids get their candy that night and then leave out the rest at night to be exchanged for a toy), and parents who have their kids donate half. These are both happy mediums. But those parents who let their kids have none? They are seriously mean.
I know all the arguments and I know how bad childhood obesity is. I am a marathon runner who eats mostly all organic and balanced and treats my body like a temple 90 percent of the time. But the other 10 percent is junk food time.
What is childhood without the joy of a frozen Milky Way or a peanut butter cup or a blow pop? Give me five extra pounds, but don't take away my Snickers bar, please. In all seriousness, active, healthy children can indulge in sweets one day a year and not balloon up like Fat Albert. I watch what I eat, but I also eat a whole lot of junk and have managed to always have a healthy BMI and low heart rate and blood pressure. So why can't my kids?
It's all about moderation and respect for one's body. Eating a candy sometimes is FUN. Why do we have to take all the fun out of life just to be healthy? Sorry, but pretending carrots are candy or getting really fun bouncy balls is just not the same as stuffing my face with M&M's and calling it a night.
Party pooper parents, you are no fun. You just may get tricked if you don't pony up a treat.
Do you like houses that give out pencils?
yeah thanks a lot! DD is very sensitive to sugar, dairy, gluten, eggs. If she ate even one of these her eczema would be a flare up for weeks making her miserable, unable to sleep, and itching herself till she bleeds. yeah THAT"S SO WORTH THE PAIN just to eat some crappy candy!
This year we're giving out glow bracelets. Cheaper than candy (15/$1 @ target!), fun, but won't rot their teeth! Win-win-win.
have you ever read up on what sugar does to the immune system?
I completely agree--having candy one night is not going to destroy your health!! And there are healthier sweets out there, too. Plus, any kids whose parents don't want them getting candy shouldn't take their kids trick or treating, I mean, that's the whole point, right--so I'll give out candy until the day I die.
Leanne--that's a really fun idea, though! I think I would have been happy to get a glow bracelet, but I still need my candy :)

In addition to the annual Design4Good program, which provides pro bono design work to area nonprofits, TRIAD/Next Level recently launched a social media campaign contest in association with its annual interactive holiday card. The campaign, which included an eblast, microsite (www.triadadv.com/crappy) and social media blitz, was titled 'Crappy Holidays' and showcased TRIAD/Next Level staff members in humorous holiday situations, and allowed visitors to post their own personal holiday stories.
The microsite utilized Facebook's 'Like' button plugin technology so users could vote for an organization, and at the time spread the word about the campaign via personal Facebook pages. Eight charitable organizations from the Greater Akron area were highlighted on the microsite and visitors were encouraged to vote for the organization they preferred to win a donation from TRIAD/Next Level. The nonprofit with the most votes would receive a $500 donation with the second and third place vote-getters receiving $250 and $100 respectively.
"We really wanted to create something different, interactive and that would result in a positive impact for the greater good," said John Moulagiannis, director, interactive + digital media. "We were able to marry fun and technology, show off our creative capabilities and allow others to interact and join in the fun."
The organization that received the most votes was The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, with The Giving Doll a close second. The Battered Women's Shelter of Summit County received the third most votes.
The campaign launched December 19, 2012 and lasted through January 1, 2013.

Revolution! ... or peaceful protest? What is the best method for change, and why should we be talking about it?
So, you want a revolution.
Is America due for radical change? What changes would you make? How would you go about making them? What methods bring real results?
And finally, what do you believe is the breaking point for revolution/rebellion?
My opinion to come shortly.
Closing Statement from Mandy Fisher
The conversation may be closed, but the topic is only beginning to brew. Thank you all for your comments. Let's continue the conversation, and perhaps we'll find we arrive at a feasible solution.
Until next time...
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Aug 24 2013: Continuing the economics description of the club from the posting below. The first rule was everyone should seek to maximise their own happiness. Lets introduce a second rule. People can choose whether to follow the first rule or the second rule. The second rule is "Everyone should seek to maximise the happiness of others that they interact with." If you are following the second rule, it makes sense to cluster together with others doing likewise. Whilst you are helping others, they will be helping you, so that you can help them further. From this positive feedback loop emerges a cohesive society. In the past you had to be in the same geographic location to provide this help and so the potential for this society to grow was limited. With the coming of mass communication you can interact with anyone anywhere to provide the help and the scope is limitless. The proposed club is a way of identifying that an individual or organisation is pursuing the second rule and so you should interact with them. It does not give you any signal that you should conflict with people still following the first rule.
Concluding with an allegory pinched from religion.
In Hell there is pleny of food, but you are only allowed to eat it using a 6ft long spoon, which you must hold at the end of the handle. Everyone starves for eternity.
In Heaven, same food, same spoons, same rules, but everyone is well fed. They have learnt to feed each other.
It's no good having a long spoon and noone else to feed. Join the club and use that spoon.
