Is it better to know you're at increased risk of getting breast or ovarian cancer, or not? Is it helpful for a family to know why so many women developed breast and ovarian cancer at early ages, and have a way to identify who is at high risk and who is at average risk? Should women have the right to learn whether or not they've inherited an altered gene, even if there is no guarantee that risk can be reduced?
The key to these questions is that there are no "right" or "wrong" answers, because the answers will depend on individual beliefs, values, coping styles, and preferences. Genetic testing can sometimes raise more uncertainty about the future than provide answers. Genetic counselors can help people wrestling with these difficult questions to try to reach the best possible decision, given each person's unique perspective and life experiences.
Genetic counselors in the United States are nationally certified health professionals who can interpret complex family histories and genetic test results for patients and health providers. They educate women and their families about what genetic testing can tell them, as well as what it can't. In addition, genetic counselors, who have training in psychosocial counseling, help to promote autonomous decision making among the individuals they counsel. Recently, genetic counselors have become members of multidisciplinary teams offering risk assessment and counseling to individuals and families at increased risk for cancer. [1] Rather than being viewed as a "health care frill," the process of genetic counseling should be considered a mandatory step in the process of genetic testing. The potential for harm from genetic testing is real, and the benefits can be interpreted subjectively. [2]
Genetic testing for mutations in the recently identified BRCA1 (for breast cancer 1) and BRCA2 genes can help some families determine who is at high risk and who is at average risk. A woman who has a BRCA1 or 2 mutation faces about a 60 to 85 percent lifetime chance of breast cancer, while the average woman has about a 10 to 11 percent chance. A woman with a BRCA1 or 2 mutation also has a 20 to 60 percent lifetime chance of ovarian cancer, compared to a 1 to 2 percent chance for the average woman. [3] While greater than 90 percent of breast and ovarian cancer is not caused by a single susceptibility gene, women who are found to have one may find their lives permanently altered by the introduction of this powerful predictive information into their family.
Beyond providing a cognitive grasp of the technical information, genetic counseling offers a forum for potential test subjects to personally consider the psychosocial and familial impact of testing. Whom in their family might they tell, and how might they react? Genetic testing information may bring families together, but it can also become a point of contention. One family member may pressure another to be tested. Conversely, there may be pressure not to bring this information into the family. Depending on individual coping styles, women in similar circumstances who have similar risks and understanding of the issues may reach different decisions. This aspect of the genetic counseling is critical, and cannot be achieved by handing a patient a pamphlet, or briefly presenting the cancer risks associated with finding a gene mutation.
Some genetic counselors report an influx of women into their clinics who were tested first and referred for genetic counseling only after a mutation was found. This can only be considered inappropriate and substandard medical care. Some of these women are largely misinformed and have erroneous beliefs about the significance of their results. Some say, if they had known what information testing can't provide, they might have declined having testing, rather than living with the anxiety it unleashed.
There is concern about high risk but cancer-free women who are tested in the absence of a known family mutation. It is critical that they continue to be screened for cancer, even if they are not found to have a detectable BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Some of these women mistakenly believe their cancer risk has now been reduced, when it hasn't. A negative result can be truly reassuring in the presence of a known family mutation. In this scenario, misunderstanding of a test result's significance could be life-threatening if an opportunity to benefit from early cancer detection is missed because of a false sense of reassurance.
Imagine the predicament of a 45-year-old high-risk woman, a single mother of two children, who learns that she has a cancer-predisposing mutation, and is then informed by her health insurance company that her rates will be increased to a monthly premium she can no longer afford. What good is having information about cancer risk if it effectively cuts off your access to health care? Due to the expense, not having access to affordable health insurance in the United States can severely limit access to quality medical care. All too frequently, the decision to test or not is based on fears such as these. While no data exist to tell us realistically what the risks are for genetic discrimination, the sheer possibility of it dissuades many women from testing. Clearly, we must push for more effective national legislation to protect those with identifiable predisposing gene alterations. [4]
An equally compelling story, which illustrates the benefits of genetic testing, is that of the 38-year-old woman who is recently married. Her new husband understands that the cancer that afflicted her mother and two sisters at early ages may one day affect his bride. Since the family mutation had been discovered through first testing an affected sister, she decides to proceed and learn whether or not she too inherited the high-risk mutation. She learns she didn't. What a relief for her and her family. While still facing the same cancer risks as the average woman, an 11 percent risk for breast cancer is considerably lower than a 60 to 85 percent risk in mutation carriers. In addition, this woman felt that she would have prophylactic oophorectomies soon, if she were found to have a mutation, since ovarian cancer took her beloved sister at the age of 42. Now she plans to have several children, and puts away all thoughts of prophylactic surgery. Even this woman, who receives good news, may feel guilty for escaping the problems affecting her loved ones, but she and her new husband also have an opportunity to take a different approach and have a new outlook to planning their lives together.
The clinical value of genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility is an issue that seems to be polarizing both the medical and cancer advocacy communities. Some claim it to be of little significant value, since we have no known, proven method of eliminating cancer risk once it has been identified. And without significant revision to current federal legislation [5], the risk to insurability for some outweighs any possible benefit that testing could offer. For these reasons, some believe that testing should be offered only through structured research protocols, and that it is premature to offer commercial testing through cancer risk programs or physician offices.
Research participants are afforded several layers of protection: Their results do not have to be included in a medical record, so the risk of genetic discrimination for people who learn they have a mutation may be minimized. However, research results do not always remain confidential. Once a person starts to use the information to justify health care decisions, such as prophylactic surgery, sometimes revealing genetic test results provide the only mechanism to convince an insurer to pay for intensive and often expensive follow-up. In addition, even research results may become available to an insurer if a health care provider records the information in a medical chart - and women often appropriately feel the need to inform their physicians about test results, since they want advice and guidance in managing their cancer risks.
Participants in research protocols now are also most likely to receive adequate information and genetic counseling prior to and after being tested, since funded proposals go through a peer review process. In addition, there are well-trained professionals at cancer risk assessment programs - many of them located in NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers - who are providing adequate genetic counseling, outside of a purely research protocol. Although there are serious limitations and drawbacks to genetic testing to consider, those who have received genetic counseling and who understand what testing can and cannot tell them should be able to chose whether or not to proceed with the test. As with many of life's more complex choices, the possible benefits for some may clearly outweigh the risks, while for others, testing would not provide useful information, and could in fact be harmful.
Many families learn that the chance of finding an altered BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene is remote, and elect to forgo testing. However, for those who are candidates for testing, it is usually optimal to delay the decision to be tested until there has been time to think carefully about the potential ramifications. Families tell us that just grasping concepts like genetic susceptibility, dominant inheritance, and genetic testing are difficult, and it is better to hear the information more than once. Providing written materials is also helpful. Many programs schedule a second session, at which time the decision to proceed with testing, or decline or delay testing, is reached. Results are often given in person to maximize the opportunity to communicate accurate information.
Common threads in counseling for genetic susceptibility to disease are the complexity of the information and the ability of the information to impact not just the person being tested, but the family as well. Personal risk information has the potential to motivate a high-risk woman to adopt screening that may promote early detection of cancer. The information may also devastate the mother with breast cancer who learns that all three of her adult daughters have also inherited this cancer susceptibility.
Every person considering cancer predisposition testing should have the opportunity to receive appropriate information and genetic counseling. Testing decisions are not only highly personal - they can also be permanent. One cannot "unlearn" a test result revealing the presence of a cancer predisposing mutation. Testing decisions may be easier in the future, as the options improve for those found to carry a gene mutation. Better treatment, early detection, and even prevention strategies based on our knowledge of how these genes are linked to cancer are on the way. Knowledge can be empowering when it helps to cope more effectively with a situation. Genetic testing can provide that for some families. However, genetic test results are powerful and can have the opposite effect. Anxiety, despair, and fear of the future and the possibility of genetic discrimination may await those who would be better off not knowing. Until "fixing" the genetic alteration becomes a simple, routine procedure, cancer predisposition testing must not be construed as a simple or routine blood test. Skilled genetic counseling is not just for individuals and families where a gene mutation has been found. It should be offered before as well as after testing so that thoughtful and personal decisions can be made about whether receiving this powerful insight to future health risks will be of benefit or not.

Diptych: Jockum Nordstrom and Mindy Shapero
This new exhibition series brings together works by two up-and-coming artists as in the paired images of a diptych. This time you'll see how Jockum Nordstrom and Mindy Shapero each use paper to create beguiling fantasy worlds that draw from the landscapes of their own imaginations.
Swedish artist Jockum Nordstrom's graphite drawings and paper cut-out collages feature flattened compositional spaces and impossible shifts of scale that tweak our sense of what is real and what isn't. Los Angeles–based artist Mindy Shapero uses paper, wood, paint, and papier-mache techniques to make fanciful sculptures that give physical form to ineffable perceptions and experiences. Both artists tell open-ended stories through their works, whose poetic and enigmatic titles suggest additional layers of meaning. Series organized by Associate Curator Claudine Ise.
An illustrated brochure with an essay by Claudine Ise accompanies the exhibition and is available (free) at the Wexner Center during the run of the exhibition. Can't make it to the show? The brochure can also be purchased from the Wexner Center Store online.
Please note: This exhibition closes August 6, a change from the originally published date of August 13.

5 Ways to Trick Your Brain into Eating Healthy
#2. Pay Attention to the Size and Color of Your Plates
One common technique to make yourself eat less is simply using smaller plates -- not just because they hold less food, but because they make each plate seem fuller than it really is, which tricks your brain into thinking you've eaten more. What you might not know is that even the color of the plate impacts how much you eat.
Wikimedia Commons
Finally, you'll get some use out of your $500 "investment."
Researchers decided to test this idea during a college reunion, possibly because there are few social events where people will more systematically attack a buffet table. Attendees could get either a red or a white plate, and then they had the option of serving themselves pasta with tomato sauce or Alfredo sauce, which are red and white, respectively. This wasn't part of some patriotic theme: The researchers wanted the food to either blend in with the plate or stand out.
The experiment found that when people had plates that contrasted with the color of their meal, they served themselves 22 percent less food (32 grams) than those who had similar plate and food colors. So if you're trying to kick that eggplant habit, for example, simply throw away all your purple plates, and voila!
Even the potent Acapulco Aubergine cultivar is powerless against color coordination.
To take it a bit further, they also recorded the tablecloths of the serving tables (which were either red or white) and saw that again, when the food contrasted with the cloth background, people served themselves 10 percent less than others. It works for the same reason as the "smaller plates" trick: It's called the Delboeuf illusion, an optical effect where something will look bigger if you closely surround it with a larger object that contrasts with it. The more your plate contrasts with your food, the more you'll think you've served yourself and the less you'll end up eating.
But what if you feed exclusively on burgers and rarely use things like plates or forks? Believe it or not, there's still hope for you ...
#1. Eat With Soft Lighting and Music
We mentioned before that there is a reason restaurants play music while you eat -- music affects mood, and mood affects eating habits. Well, if restaurants are trying to use this to brainwash you into spending more, can you use it to your own advantage, diet-wise?
Totally. Researchers, apparently as part of an ongoing dare to see who could spend the most days in a restaurant, set up shop in a fast food joint and measured how much diners were eating from their meals by weighing their trays as they came and went.
"Also, we'll need to measure any BMs you've taken in the past 24 hours."
After assessing the average amount of food eaten, the researchers tinkered with the restaurant's lighting and music, making both a few notches softer. Once more, they looked at how much food the people were eating. The difference was significant: Under the softer lighting and music, customers ate 18 percent less food (even though they ordered the same amount), consuming an average of 775 calories, compared to 949 calories. So why does this happen?
Bear in mind that those people didn't just eat less -- they were also more satisfied with the smaller amount they consumed. The diners rated their experience as significantly better than those who'd eaten under the usual brighter lights and louder music.
This is why Olive Garden doesn't set up shop at a Slayer concert.
As it turns out, this isn't just a case of people wanting to get out of there faster when their senses are being assaulted from all directions, although that's certainly a factor. According to the researchers, since it's easier for you to enjoy your meal when your environment is calmer, you take slower bites and end up eating less overall. On the other hand, the lights and music stress you out so you eat more, and faster (note: fast food restaurants want you to leave quickly so it frees up a table).
So, if you're trying to lose weight, that gives you two options: Eat at fancy restaurants only, or start wearing thick shades and noise-cancelling earphones to Burger King.

I am a distance runner, and sometimes go running on trails where there aren't likely to be many people. Since I have type-1 diabetes, I must carry a blood glucose tester and a source of quick sugar with me, particularly since exercise can lower blood sugar. While this all amounts to a pretty small amount of equipment, it's more than fits comfortably in the pockets of my running shorts. What are some ways to carry this gear without it impeding running or causing discomfort? We're talking about maybe 200-300g of total mass, though space for a little bit more would not be bad.

SPIbelt! I don't run without one. They're also frequently used by diabetics as well as runners. They stretch, so they're tiny, but expand to hold a surprisingly large amount of stuff.
I use a small camel bag (not too full) for that. Not ideal for reaching the gels but you got liquid as well something you really want on long run.
FuelBelt! It carries water bottles and has various pouches the can hold a gel, a cellphone, or a small camera. I bought the four-bottle trail-runner model because of the extra pouches, and in case I ever need all four bottles. I haven't needed more than two bottles, but it's nice to have the option. Instead of a glucose snack or in addition to it, you could have a glucose drink in one bottle. During the summer, I fill one bottle with a sports drink and another bottle with plain water. Each bottle holds 8oz. With four bottles, that's a total of 32oz (1 quart). My belt has two gel pouches, and two zip pouches. My mobile phone easily fits in either of the zipper pouches, and it is comfortable. My only complaint is that my phone tends to make my belt want to rotate slightly, but otherwise, I love it! I don't go running in the heat without it. If you put similar shaped items in the zipper puches, then it won't have this problem.
For a jury-rigged setup (if you'd like to get started without spending any money), you can also simply use the belt loop on your shorts. I attach a climbing hook to my belt loop, tie one end of a string to the hook, and attach the other end to whatever it is I'm carrying. I used electrical tape to secure my insulin pen, and another knot to secure my water bottle (a 16 oz that I keep in my right pocket).
I personally run with amphipod's runlite belt with or without the bottles [depends on the length of the run. Has a pouch and a little pocket in the front. Holds my phone, keys, id,

I'm using the DirectX Effects framework and I want to create an input layout automatically when compiling an effect. I've tried to call ID3DX11Effect->GetVariableByName() with the shader's name, to obtain a pointer to a ID3DX11EffectVariable interface, then doing ID3DX11EffectVariable->AsShader() to obtain a pointer to a ID3DX11EffectShaderVariable interface. The problem is that the pointer returned by ID3DX11Effect->GetVariableByName() is not valid (the IsValid() method returns false). So how can I get a pointer to the shaders of an effect file ?
The effect framework is based around the concepts of techniques and passes, so you will need to go through these to get to your shader. The API will let you get a list of techniques in the effect and a list of passes in a technique; you can then extract the shaders from the pass.
Here is the code from my engine that extracts the vertex shader from the first pass of the first technique of an effect and goes through its input signature. I've removed the error checking for brevity, but you can see how it would work.

When humans get the common cold, a common symptom is a stuffy or runny nose. Is that the body's immune response or is that the virus's doing?
There are different causes and mechanisms behind runny and stuffy nose. I cover them separately below.
Runny nose
My professor of pathoanatomy and pathophysiology says that the correct answer here is serous inflammation to the runny nose. Serous inflammation
Acute viral respiratory infection
The other answers mostly discusses about the mechanisms (secondary), but not the cause itself. The most upvoted answer describes factors affecting the inflammation but not explicitly mention serous inflammation and its factors.
Stuffy nose
Congestion in nose is a passive and local process resulting from reduced outflow of blood from a nasal tissue. The nasal epithelium is very thin which makes it vulnerable to flu and cold. The viral particle passes through the membrane (often because of scarring) and causes the change in the vascular permeability of the surrounding big vein. Mechanisms of stuffy nose are covered partially by Ram and Aleadam:
which respond against viral particles and cause
Stuffy nose is about the reduced outflow of blood from a nasal tissue i.e. isolated venous obstruction. Even small obstruction (scarring) can lead to it. I know no safe systemic medication that can prevent the change of vascular permeability of the nasal big vein. Local steroids like Nasonex improve the recovery time by reducing the congestion when taken during long term - however, it cannot prevent the vascular permeability change of the large vein. I have an intuition that the the nasal venous congestion can be relieved by the systemic lymphatic drainage massage by special movements involving
which help to drain the accumulated fluid from the nasal tissues. I know no substitute or medication to replace the stimulation of lymphatic drainage.
Prophylactics for the symptoms
You can oil your membranes but to oil them all even at the back side is difficult - even more difficult if have to have them oiled continuously. So there remains some membranes unoiled. I think it takes rather much time for the venous side to recover. Therefore, you feel stuffy nose long time after the runny nose has ended. Local oiling is not enough during cold and allergic times for many patients. Some medicines for Prophylactics
It's mainly caused by swelling of large veins and by an increase in vascular permeability that leads to an accumulation of fluids in the nasal mucosa. These effects are mediated, at least in part, by bradykinin and histamine, and can be counteracted by epinephrine. These mediators are part of the immune response to the viral particles.
You can read more about it here:
The stuffiness is due to edema or swelling of the mucous membrane covering the nasal cavity. The swelling is caused by vasodialatation or dialatation of the capillaries and leaky vessels which accumulate fluid within the mucous membrane. The runny nose is mainly due to hyperactivity of the mucous cells of the lining which causes vastly more secretion than normal, triggered by the inflammatory reaction to the infection.

Is it a good or bad idea to take Ibuprofen (or other NSAID) before exercise to help prevent things like knee or shoulder pain? I have heard that (a) you should not, because it will mask the pain that indicates damage, and (b) it's OK because it reduces inflammation which can reduce the damage to the joint or tendon.
Sign up

Taking ibuprofen or other NSAIDs (anti-inflammatories that reduce pain and swelling) before for exercise can mask pain. Pain can be a warning sign to stop an exercise to prevent joint or soft tissue damage. Therefore, if you take it before exercise, you risk aggravating a problem.*
However, if you have painful joints that prevent you from exercising, an anti-inflammatory medication taken before exercise may allow you to tolerate gentle exercise and gain the benefits of exercise. This would be a case for discussing its use with your doctor. Long term or regular use of ibuprofen has side effects.
Side Effects and Warnings
From Medline Plus side effects include:
Medline also gives a long list of things that you should discuss with your doctor &/or pharmacist before using ibuprofen or NSAIDs. (medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, herbal products, age, health conditions etc.)
*Also, you didn't mention what type of exercise. There have been problems with athletes taking ibuprofen before Endurance Events. This includes reduced levels of sodium in the blood (hyponatremia) and altered renal (kidney) function.
This article, Ibuprofen-NSAIDs and Endurance describes several studies and found mixed results, including
So, although a lot of athletes are currently taking NSAIDs, there is a definite down side.
Taking Ibuprofen longterm is a very bad idea as it can lead to some big gastrointestinal issues like stomach bleeding. It can even increase the risk of hearing loss.

HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006[ Edited ]
02-29-2012 11:15 PM - last edited on 03-02-2012 09:52 AM by WaliN
I just installed Windows® 8 Consumer Preview and my HP printer has stopped working. I am using the Laserjet p1006 and I have tried everything, reinstalling the printer, re-downloading drivers etc. but to no avail. Are there new drivers available that work with Windows 8?
The printer is installed and driver has been picked up by Windows but every time I try and print something, it gives me an error that the document could not be printed.
Any suggestions
Re: HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006
I am having the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Re: HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006
And Im yet one more.I have a hp laserjet P1006 also and I get the same error mesg.....And I just installed Windows 8 also.

Hi Folks
I want to welcome all of you to the community
Sorry to learn that you are having this issue and hope you are doing well otherwise.
Your HP Laserjet P1006 is a commercial product. I will suggest posting and keeping an eye for possible solutions in the forum for HP Business Support as well for yet a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.
Best of luck;
Re: HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006
Really Thanks God
i Found solution of this problem Randomly only by praying
The solution
Connect The p1005 printer to a pc have windows 7 and print a page with it and get the cable connected to windows 8 after that and go to control panel > hardware and sounds > Device and printer > hp laser jet p1005 Right click > Printer properties > ports > uncheck bidirectional support then press ok and print ,, it works
Note : after doing the pervious steps if u turned the printer off u will need to connect it to windows 7 pc again and print and connect it to windows 8 it will work without the pervious steps //
it seems like if windows 7 gives it information that is reseted after turn it off
we wish windows 8 to solve this problem nearly
That is the Original post page : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/w
Re: HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006
Hi there again;
Glad that your issue is solved and thanks for comming back and sharing your solution with us.
Thank and best of luck;
Re: HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006
I would also like to ask if there is a Window 8 generic driver available yet? If yes, I would be willing to test and give feedback.
Here are my experiences with HP P1006 and Windows 8 Consumer Preview. The OS appeared to add the P1006 laserjet printer, but the printer was lacking basic functionality. For example, I was unable to select the P1006 as the default printer and also it wouldn't print. <smiles>
I was able to get the printer mostly functional by downloading and installing the Window 7 drivers from HPs driver and support site. By mostly, I mean I could print from WordPad, Notepad, Paint, IE, Firefox, but could not print from certain applications like Windows 8 Reader. Changing the printer settings to monodirectional and uninstalling and reinstalling in compatibility mode also did not help.
I tried going to the forum you recommended RobertoR, but the topics there don't seem to be relevant to Windows 8. When I do a search for "Windows 8" I get Windows 7 topics even with the advanced search.
It really seems an updated driver will be needed for Windows 8. If there is one and you would like help testing, let me know.
Re: HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006
I have never even had winders 7, but I downloaded the win 7 driver for the HP1006, and made the change unchecking the bidirectional gizmo on the port thingy, and it works like a charm, but it seems like you have to do it again everytime the printer is rebooted.
Re: HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006[ Edited ]
02-12-2013 04:05 PM - edited 02-12-2013 04:06 PM
i'm using win 8 64 bit and I fixed the problem by installing the win 7 64 bit version of the HP driver which you can download here
hope I could help you
Re: HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006
Hi, everyone,
I successfully installed the printer using the windows 7 x64 driver and selecting compatibility mode to windows 7.
I thought i'll let you know since it may work for you too.

Typical navi:
Moshe Rabbeinu (ibid. 7:6):
Bil'am Harasha:
HaShem has His prophets among other nations too. Here Bil'am is presented as an example. In Israel, the tipical prophet, if there is one among them, the Lord will make Himself known to him or her in a vision, and will speak to him or her in a dream. (Numb. 12:6) The only thing special about Moses in verse 7 and 8, is not that HaShem would speak to him mouth-to-mouth or face-to-face. The expression here is metaphorical for promoting Moses as the greatest of all the prophets. "Mouth-to-mouth" or "face-to-face" are not expressions to be said of G-d, Who is Incorporeal.

Are solutions of $\zeta(s) = 1$ very near a line $\Re(s) = 54$ and solutions of $\zeta(\zeta(s)) = 1$ either on or very near a circle with center $\approx .00936$ tangent to $\Re(s) = 1$, known to exist? I seem to be observing these things in computer experiments. The solutions to the first equation (zeta images of the solutions to the second one) look like they lie on circles of radius $\approx 4 \times 10^{-10}$ centered on points of the form $54 + i k \pi/\log(2), k$ odd.
Is this ridiculous? What might produce such an illusion?
Edit: To illustrate, here is a link to a PDF with graphics of the phenomenon: http://barrybrent.9f.com/zeta=1.pdf. (~ a meg.)
There are other such apparent circles for higher zeta iterates, which I'll show in a later draft, if the observations aren't knocked down.

A lady (of West Indian ancestry) said at a Church meeting this weekend: "He picked me at the station." Obviously, she meant what I would mean by saying: "He picked me up at the station," which would not be the smutty interpretation. I think I have heard this expression used similarly once before.
On the 'Wordwizard' website, we have only come up with a few opinions as to whether the shortened form is (a) now generally acceptable, (b) dialect or slang, or (c) erroneous grammar. Certainly, the examples we've been able to find on Google are accompanied almost invariably by obviously wrong grammar or excesses of sentence fragments.
Has anyone any experience of (or sound statistics on!) the shortened usage, please?

6 Works of Propaganda That Backfired in Hilarious Ways
Political propaganda, much like a late-night infomercial, is supposed to make you let someone else screw you over. Often, you don't even realize what's going on until you're trapped in a totalitarian regime or stuck with a malfunctioning StairMaster. Sometimes, however, propaganda ends up convincing everyone that the people in positions of power are as dumb as, if not dumber than, everyone else. For example ...
#6. North Korea Parades South Korean Protester, Accidentally Makes Her Country Sound Awesome
In 1989, North Korea hosted the World Festival of Youth and Students, because this was back when they were still into pretending their country was basically Disney World, but bigger, as opposed to a nightmare of oppression and bad haircuts. So, when Lim Su-kyung, a left-leaning activist from South Korea, illegally crossed into the North specifically to participate in the festival, "Eternal President" Kim Il Sung was ecstatic: Here they had someone who not only was willing to badmouth the South, but could also look hot while doing it.
Via The Three Wise Monkeys
She was also apparently 100 feet tall, so that helped.
Lim ended up staying in North Korea for six weeks, delighting the country's propagandists with her steady stream of criticism of the South's government. They even dubbed her the Flower of Reunification, since everyone, including the glorious leader, shared her dream of harmony between North and South (as long as he got to enforce that harmony with tanks, of course).
So What Went Wrong?
But then North Koreans began to notice something odd about this girl: The South, they'd always been told, was rife with starvation, poverty, and ignorance. Lim Su-kyung, however, was clearly well-fed, well-dressed, educated, and unusually still alive for a "political dissident."
Via Koreabang
"The headband is to cover torture wounds, right?"
Lim blew everyone's minds by (*gasp*) speaking naturally while casually referring to South Korea's rapidly increasing wealth and abundance of food, electronics, and cars that anyone could freely buy. This intrigued North Koreans, who thought that such luxuries were gifted only at the government's leisure (and mostly to government itself).
When Lim Su-kyung returned to South Korea, she was immediately arrested for crossing the demilitarized zone. North Koreans were devastated, since they naturally assumed she'd be flayed alive while her whole family got shipped to prison camps. The North Korean propaganda teams sent to chronicle her martyrdom, however, beamed back truly shocking images: Lim receiving a public trial, being represented by a lawyer, and receiving a light sentence (which would be even further reduced). Her family members, rather than being sent to gulags, gave interviews from their own homes.
The Korea Herald
Even her prison jumpsuit was fancier than whatever Kim Jong Un's wearing.
At this point the regime realized they were just making themselves look bad and stopped hyping the Flower, but the damage was done: The number of defectors from North Korea suddenly began to increase after 1989, and many of them have specifically pointed at Lim's speeches, interviews, even her ability to wear jeans as what made them realize that the South might not actually be a hellhole.
#5. Koch-Funded Study to Disprove Global Warming Proves Global Warming
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
When the scientists of the world told us that, according to 97 percent of them, global warming has definitely been proven to be a thing, some of the richest people alive decided it was finally time to take action ... and unprove that shit right back. The Koch brothers, for example, have thrown $61 million at the noble cause of denying that pumping toxic crap into the atmosphere might have negative consequences, just out of the kindness of their hearts.
Via Business Insider
We couldn't find a photo of David Koch, so we Photoshopped the Annoying Orange face onto a potato.
That's why, when Charles Koch heard about the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project in 2011 -- an entire study dedicated to showing that other climate studies either distorted their data or used faulty tests -- he said "Here, take some pocket change" and gave them their single largest donation. No doubt one of the main draws of the study for Koch was the fact that it was headed by physicist Richard Muller, one of the most vocal members of the 3 percent of climate skeptics in the scientific community.
Now all the Koch brothers had to do was wait for Muller to turn in his study, and they'd finally have a better counterargument against global warming than just covering their ears and going "LA LA LA LA LA."
So What Went Wrong?
Unfortunately for the Kochs, that 3 percent just got a little bit smaller: Richard Muller ended up confirming the thing he was trying to disprove.
Carlos Fresneda
Yes, Muller was a skeptic, but he was also a scientist, and the science was clear: Taking into account temperature records for the past 250 years, historical carbon dioxide levels, and the alleged methodological problems in other studies, he determined that the Earth is hotter now than it was back during the Civil War, with most of the hottening happening in recent decades. In fact, Muller went so far as to say that not only does global warming really exist, but it's definitely our own damn fault. Or, you know, what all the other scientists have been saying for decades.
Conservative commentators who had previously been eager to see the BEST results now mysteriously seemed eager to find some glaring flaws in it. Meanwhile, Charles Koch ordered his publicists to insist that any suggestion that he funded the study only because he wanted to shove the results in everyone's faces was pure speculation. Did we mention that they're rich because they own a bunch of oil refineries?
#4. China's Anti-Apple Campaign Turns into Anti-China Campaign
ChinaFotoPress/Getty Images News/Getty Images
If you think your friend who keeps an iPad in every room (and two in the bathroom, in case the battery runs out while pooping) is the biggest Apple fanatic ever, you've never been to China. The Chinese people love their i-prefixed gadgets so much that, in February 2013, China surpassed the U.S. as Apple's biggest market. That's what happens when you combine increasing disposable incomes, the ironic urge to assert class identity in a "classless" communist state, and sheer numbers.
Feng Li/Getty Images News/Getty Images
That's just the line to gape at the iPads from the window as you walk by.
The Chinese government, though, is a whole other story. The growing popularity of iPhones threatened the sales of smartphones made by (state-run) Chinese companies, which, in turn, threatened the kickbacks that party bureaucrats would normally get. And so, in 2013, China's official media channels started running dubious anti-Apple stories while secretly telling Chinese celebrities to bash Apple at the same hour. One celebrity even forgot to delete the "Post around 8:20 p.m." instruction at the end of "his" post:
Via HugChina
But at least he left out the "... or your family gets it."
When Apple had the "unparalleled arrogance" to try to defend themselves, the Communist Party's official blow horn, the People's Daily, encouraged Chinese "netizens" to swarm the Internet and express their outrage. The government then sat back to watch with pride, because asking for honest opinions has never backfired before.
So What Went Wrong?
Chinese citizens did exactly what the government told them, going online and freely offering their opinions about the appallingly abusive practices ... of China's government-owned companies. Including the People's Daily.
Rex Features
"Eh, it still isn't the worst thought out idea we've had," said the People's Daily, from their giant dong building.
Even those who conceded that Apple is far from perfect agreed that Chinese companies are much, much worse -- as evidenced by the flood of hundreds of tales of shitty customer service, price gouging, unauthorized charges, refused refunds, and products so shoddily made that they broke under such strenuous conditions as "looking at them." That's right, "Buy American" shills and advocates: Even the Chinese are skeptical of "Made in China."
Eventually, the public outrage expanded from Chinese companies to the Chinese leadership itself. At this point, the government realized they probably should have stuck to bribing celebrities and quietly ended the anti-Apple campaign before it turned into a bloody revolution.

IADT questions

Junior Member
IADT questions
I'm about to pull the trigger and sign up to IADT (International Acadamy of Design and Technology Online). I was originally going to Thomas Edison aiming for a BAS in information technology while I was in the military. Focusing on computer programming / networking.
I recently got out of the army, and I thought to myself "Why dream about being a game designer, why not go for it?" I wasn't that far along in my IT degree, so no real harm in changing it up at this point.
People always say they hate their job, and wish they could be a movie/tv actor, a video game maker, a singer, etc... So why not try? I figure I did a bad enough job for 8 years already, and I want to do something more fun and creative.
So I am going to try my best to make a living in game design. My question is aimed at the quality of IADT's program. I'd like to know if anyone here has had first hand experience with their courses. Do you learn a lot? Do the skills they teach make you a viable contender in the gaming industry? Are the skills they teach viable in terms of real-world applications?
I'm not the kind of person who cares about money. I don't have to work for Bioware, EA, or Ubisoft to be "happy". I would like to work on a big AAA title one day in the future, but it does not make/break my decision of working in the gaming industry. I would be perfectly happy pulling in a low-mid salary on indi projects if that's the hand that's dealt to me. I've learned from the military that you can get by on very little money. And I'm much more interested in not hating my job every morning when I wake up lol.
So I'm not asking "Will IADT's program make me a AAA super-star working on Battlefield 5 1 week after graduation".
I'm more interested in knowing how much I will learn, and the quality of their classes when it comes to making games.
If anyone has any advice or comments on IADT, please let me know. If you personally think IADT isn't a good choice for game design, please let me know what you think good alternatives are.
My interest is mostly in the design of games. (3d environment modeling, 3d character modeling, gameplay and animation scripting, storytelling, etc). I'm not big on concept art and things like that. I'm more interested in the actual game play.
So any words of wisdom would be really nice.
Thank you in advance.

Do you know readers of your papers ?
Or - is it true that if paper is not groundbreaking no one (except very few people, working very closely and hence known for you) will read it ?
If it is so - you can write "from expert to experts" concentrating on details. If it not so - it is better to include more introduction, background, motivation, examples.
"Definition" READER is any person looking at yours paper will extract something useful for him. That is why it is difficult to measure by citations number - many papers are cited but not "readed" and vice versa.
Some quote:
"Gowers Says:
November 7, 2011 at 3:21 pm ... I once heard that the average number of readers of a mathematics paper is less than 1."
I heard the same from other people - this is based on impact factor which they say averagely less than 1 for most of math journals.
To my taste "ideal" paper should be written in such a way that just "undergrad" can understand it. But that would of course require enormous efforts and size. Which is unjustified if you know that no one will read it :)
Practical situation - I am now writing a paper, which I am almost sure some 5 experts (whom I know) will look. The whole number of experts worked quite closely around the topic in last 10 years is may be bigger - 10-20 (depends on word "closely"). But different people has different tastes and interests, so I am not sure all of them will look, moreover I feel from previous experience many will not.
On the other hand, I feel, that some questions discussed in the paper are at least understandable for any undergraduate (and hopefully interesting). So potential number of readers is much bigger - that is why I am spending time to write it as readable as I can do. But it takes much time. It does not seems to me worth to spend so much time if I know that only those 5 experts (whom I know) will look on it.
Should I spend this time - or just put formulations of the theorems and write "obviously" ? :) (For experts this would be Okay :)

Slimming a Chevy by Sectioning Part II: The Chevy's Target Weight Is MetWritten by on December 1, 2012 Weight Watchers
Last month, Star Kustom Shop began a 2-inch section on a '51 Chevy and left off right after the cowl got welded back together. Well, here's the state of the union: with the body back together Star Kustom can section and fit the doors, and then move onto the fenders. If you remember, the material taken from the body was at the bottom of the car, and this month things will follow similar suit.
With the body set back in position, the first order of business is getting the doors to fit. Instead of worrying about slicing and welding the doorskin out in the open range we're going to take the material from the bottom of the door; here's how. By grinding along the bottom of the door edge, and about 8 inches up the sides, the folded edge of the doorskin can be ground away, which will set the doorskin free. From there 2 inches, which is the 2-inch section, will be marked and cut along the inner 'jamb structure of the door. Once cut, the bottom half of the door will pull apart, and the top half of the door and skin will remain intact. When it comes to gluing things back together it's simple: first, the upper and lower portion of the door will bolt directly back to the hinges. Being that the section came from the structure of the door, the inner structure will coincide with the 2-inch section of the body. When the door is shut though, things won't exactly be kosher because the skin of the door will hang down into the rocker. In order to get things back on an even keel, Star Kustom will measure 1/4 inch up from the top of the rocker and mark our findings on the doorskin. At that point it's a matter of using a long straight edge to draw a line and trimming the skin—that is roughly 2 inches of overhang—to coincide with the rest of the door gaps. Instead of folding the skin back over the inner structure, the skin and structure will get welded along the ground edges.
Throughout the section of the Chevy there have been several key elements, which have been highlighted, that really intrigued Star Kustom about this method of sectioning. Well, the buck hasn't stopped yet! Another factor is the fact that by not sectioning the rear quarters whatsoever, the wheelwell opening stayed the same in the rear. However, being that the cowl does get sectioned it brings the front wheelwell down 2 inches, which puts the height of the front wheelwell on par with the rear wheelwell. Another small styling cue that will have folks second-guessing themselves! But still the fender will need to be sectioned. Yet, again we're only going to take material out of the bottom of the rear of the front fenders, as opposed to sectioning the entire fender and moving the wheelwell up 2 inches. For some this method of not increasing the wheelwell opening may not work because there won't be enough room for tire clearance up front. But given the fact the frontend of the chassis has received a Mustang II clip, and it's going to get a custom engine bay with new inner fender panels, it measures out that things should be just fine. Lastly, the core support has to get 2 inches whacked from it to accommodate mounting the fenders, frontend, and hood. That pretty much wraps things up in terms of words, so let's delve into the work at hand.

3 Two inches from the internal structure is going to be removed. Not wanting to mess with the door hinge mounting locations, I moved up about an inch past the indentation and marked off 2 inches. The other side of the door was then duplicated. Also, the skin of the door will need to be ground up to the top line of the 2-inch cut mark on both sides of the door.5 Once the skin is set free, the 2 inches is removed from the internal structure and the vertical support braces are cut free so the bottom of the door can pull away.6 As for the rest of the door it will look like this. At this time, grind the paint and coatings along the edges of the inner doorskin, making sure to begin about 2 inches up from the bottom of the door.7 When it comes to putting the door back together, the first step is to bolt the door back in position. After some slight trimming the internal structure fits to the perimeter of the body just like stock.8 With the door in the closed position things were clamped together, making sure the front 'jamb of both door halves are in alignment. At that point everything was tacked together except the rear.9 Because the door structure got a bit narrower toward the bottom, a vertical cut (note arrow) just inside the 'jamb structure was made in order to slide the bottom of the door back in congruence with the body 'jambs. At that point the door was then welded solid.10 Although the structure may now fit the body, the doorskin will hang below. On the left you can see where I have slowly trimmed until I could see the top of the rocker. Once completely trimmed, I measured up a 1/4 inch from the top of the rocker and marked it on the doorskin. From there a straight edge was taken and a line was drawn from mark to mark, which made trimming a cinch.11 Instead of folding the skin back over the inner structure like stock, the doorskin and structure get welded together. Same goes for the sides. Once welded the bulk of the weld was knocked down with a grinder, but to ensure a perfect line a hand file was used to set things along the straight and narrow.
12 With the fender bolted up it's pretty apparent it's going to have to get cut. Again though, just a small island at the bottom will be cut.13 The bottom mounting boss on the fender is located at the bottom; therefore I moved up about an inch and then laid out my 2-inch cuts. Again, the material between the tape is removed.14 When it comes to the lip of the fender I slowly rolled it to match the contour of the rest of the fender.15 The last step on the agenda is the core support. Notice how the mounting points tower above the fender. For that reason, a 2-inch section was again whacked from the middle of the core support to coincide with the section.16 With things all buttoned up you can see the side-by-side comparison. Take note of how the new beltline flows into the rear quarter-panel, as opposed to above it.18 Here's how the new trunk valleys turned out. At first glance it's as if things were never touched, but compared to stock the quarter-panels and trunk are much more exaggerated.

Saturday July 20th would mark the returns of the Dancin Bare Topless 100 for the IMCA Modfieds at Sunset Speedway Park. Also in action for the evening were the Northwest Extreme Sprints, Midgets, 4-Bees, and Pure Stocks.
Taking the lead on lap twenty-five Redmond's Mark Carrell would dominate the field to rest of the way in the Dancin Bare Topless 100. Carrell, in the Mark's Autobody/Gray's Automotive #27 GRT by Phillips, would leave just one other car on the lead lap to earn his first win at Sunset in 2013.
Ryan Bothwell visited victory lane for the first time this season in the Northwest Extreme Sprints. The Oregon City native would lead the entire distance in his BDR Racing/Schram Brothers Excavating #19 Avenger. Mitch Hoffses was back to his winning ways as he would win the Midget feature. For Hoffses, of Beaverton, it would mark his first win in the Midgets piloting his eBay Motors/Hoosier Tire Midwest/Ridgecrest Homes #5H Hawk.
Forest Grove driver Kendall Lee in the #66 entry was the victor in the Pure Stock ranks. It was the first race since the end of 2012 that the division was in action at SSP. Winning for the third time this year in the 4-Bee class was the #41 of John Oyler from Scappoose. The win ties him for the most victories this season in the class so far this campaign.
The Sunset Speedway Park will return to action next Saturday July 27th for Les Schwab Tires Night. Classes in competition will include the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series, Northwest Extreme Modifieds, Midgets, and the Women's division. For more information log on to www.sunsetspeedwaypark.com.

Counterexamples to an Old Earth
It takes only one counterexample to disprove the theory of an Old Earth. Most of the "evidence" for an Old Earth is based on claims that lack testability, such as radiometric dating, and hence would not even satisfy minimum requirements for admissibility in a court of law. If each of the following 45 counterexamples to an Old Earth has merely a 10% chance of being valid, then the probability that the Earth is billions of years old is only 1%. In other words, the Earth must be young with a likelihood of 99%.[2] [3]
In addition, much additional scientific evidence points to a young age of the earth and the universe, and the biblical creation organization Creation Ministries International published articles entitled 101 evidences for a young age of the earth and the universe and How old is the earth? both of which summarize some of the evidence for a young age of the earth.
The motivation for atheists to insist on falsely teaching that the Earth is old is to pull students away from God's immediate presence and to turn them away from Jesus Christ. Atheists are also motivated, and biased, by the fact that their evolutionist theories require the world to be an implausible billions of years old.
The growing list of counterexamples to the theory of an Old Earth includes:
- The oldest direct evidence of life—written documents, clothing, remnants of civilizations, tree rings, etc. -- is no older than about 3,000 B.C. and certainly younger than 4,000 B.C., the approximate date of origin of the Earth, based on a literal reading of the Bible.
- The Moon's orbit is a very strong counterexample: the moon is receding from the Earth at a rate[4][5] that would have placed it too close to the Earth merely four billion years ago, causing instability in its orbit, tidal catastrophes on Earth, and other problems that would have prevented the Earth and the Moon being as they are today. Additionally, the moon's orbit is becoming increasingly and unexpectedly eccentric, suggesting a lack of long-term stability,[6] which further disproves the theory of an Old Earth.
- Spiral galaxies appear to be young, and only implausible proposals of the existence of dark matter can reconcile the spirals with a belief in an old universe.
- The expansion of the universe is accelerating, something that would not occur if the Big Bang had happened billions of years ago; the acceleration suggests that the Big Bang (or creation) was recent.[7]
- The planetary orbits in the Solar System - including Earth's - are unstable and unsustainable over the long periods claimed by Old Earth believers.[8][9]
- At least one spiral galaxy spins in the direction opposite to the spin of its tail, suggesting an age too young to have generated the tail and contradicting the theory that the tails of spiral galaxies were formed over a long period of time.[10]
- Blue-eyed people are known to be only 6,000 to 10,000 years old. Moreover, the number of blue-eyed people is steadily diminishing, further suggesting that humans have not been in existence long.[11]
- "DNA in "ancient" fossils. DNA extracted from bacteria that are supposed to be 425 million years old calls into question the age calculation, because DNA could not last more than thousands of years."[1]
- The intelligence of humans is rapidly declining, whether measured by SAT scores,[12] music, personal letters,[13] quality of political debates,[14] the quality of news articles,[15] and many other measures. This means that if one goes back far enough, intelligence would measure at ridiculous heights, if humans were even tens of thousands of years old.
- The age of onset of sexual maturity is rapidly changing, suggesting that life is in a short-term rather than long-term equilibrium.[16]
- The high observed rate of extinctions of species[17] and harmful genetic mutations suggest a relatively short period for the existence of life rather than a long one.
- "Living fossils — jellyfish, graptolites, coelacanth, stromatolites, Wollemi pine and hundreds more. That many hundreds of species could remain so unchanged, for even up to billions of years in the case of stromatolites, speaks against the millions and billions of years being real."[1]
- The age of onset balding or of graying of hair is rapidly decreasing, with many teenagers now experiencing baldness or premature graying (CNN's Anderson Cooper began graying as a teenager and was fully gray long before age 40);[18] many celebrities (such as American Idol winner Taylor Hicks graying in his 20s)[18] and athletes (such as Cal Ripken, Jr. graying and balding in his mid-30s)[19] increasingly experience premature graying or balding.
- The age of onset of cancer is markedly decreasing,[20] suggesting rapid changes inconsistent with an alleged long existence to life.
- The number of natural, pure-bred bred dogs declines over time as dogs naturally crossbreed; a short period of time is suggested by the fact that there are over 100 different natural, pure breeds of dog thriving today.
- Lack of genetic diversity among the Homo sapiens species. Were evolution and the old earth theory true, the human population would show much larger genetic variance.[21] Some scientists have calculated that a troop of 55 chimpanzees contains more genetic diversity than the entire human race; this demonstrates that chimpanzees descended from a large initial population while humans have descended from a much smaller one, which indeed we know to have been two people.
- Frequent occurrences of numerous deaths of birds and fish, which if extrapolated over millions of years would result in little or no such life today.[22]
- The separation between salt and freshwater fish, coupled with their inability to survive in the opposing environment, shows a lack of millions of years of evolution to enable them to spread to the opposing environment.
- Furthermore, the separation of land and aquatic life and a similar inability for the organisms to survive in the other environment shows a lack of millions of years of evolution to enable them to spread to the opposing environment.
- Biodiversity on Earth is declining too rapidly to be consistent with a long-term (Old Earth) equilibrium, with the Living Planet Index (LPI) showing "a global decline of 27% between 1970 and 2005. The terrestrial index declined by 25%, freshwater by 29% (this index is calculated to 2003 due to the lack of data available for latter years), and marine by 28%."[23]
- The Bible makes references to the dinosaurs. There is no explanation for this if dinosaurs supposedly lived hundreds of millions of years ago.[24]
Geological counterexamples to an Old Earth include:
- The interior of the earth is as hot as the sun—far hotter than atheists thought—and such heat would have dissipated and the radioactivity decayed if the earth were old.[25]
- The magnetism of the Earth is vanishing so quickly that it will disappear in 1,500 to 2,000 years;[26] extrapolating backwards does not permit an Old Earth.
- Paraconformities — where one rock stratum sits on top of another rock stratum but with supposedly millions of years of geological time missing, yet the contact plane lacks any significant erosion; that is, it is a "flat gap." E.g. Coconino sandstone / Hermit shale in the Grand Canyon (supposedly a 10 million year gap in time).[1] See: Age of the earth.
- The frequency of large earthquakes (more than 6.99 on the Richter scale) doubles roughly every 40 years,[27] rendering long-term stability impossible. Large earthquakes have increased by more than 20% in only the last decade.[28] "Researchers are left scratching their heads, trying to understand possible reasons for the uptick in seismic activity in Oklahoma."[29]
- The continued existence of fragile natural arches without having collapsed despite a short time period for erosion and stresses on them.[30]
- An extrapolation of time between the collapse of weaker arches[31] with still-standing stronger arches supports a young earth age.
- The massive Great Lakes and freshwater lakes near the equator could not have existed for millions of years, and several of these lakes are rapidly receding in volume; the third largest saltwater lake, Oroumieh Lake, could completely evaporate within the next five years.[32]
- The existence of inland saltwater lakes at high altitudes, such as Mono Lake and the Great Salt Lake, suggest a recent global flood.
- The relative purity of underground well water, which would be a muddy slurry had millions of years of erosion taken place.
- The plentiful supply of high concentrations of underground well water, which would be expected based on familiar principles of entropy to dissipate over a long period of time.
- Earthquakes alter the Earth's rotation several times each century;[33] extrapolating by orders of magnitude in time would have resulted in the occurrence of much larger earthquakes that would have destabilized the rotation[34]
- The lack of erosion between rock layers.[35][36]
- Levels of contamination in water are rising, as water proceeds through the water cycle it becomes progressively more contaminated. If earth (and life) had existed for billions of years, a limit would have been reached long ago where water (essential to life) became too contaminated for life to continue.
- All carbon dating of water supplies, even the most ancient and the deepest underground reservoirs, result in relatively young ages,[37] and no water has been found suggesting an Old Earth.
- The ratio of strontium isotopes in seawater, which should change due to long-term erosion, has varied by only 0.35% throughout history. In fact, its value today is exactly the same as in the oldest samples, which are claimed to be from 500 million years ago.
- The relatively recent separation of the still-moving continents from one land mass—denied for 100 years by atheists before they accepted it—suggest a young earth or at least a relatively recent cataclysmic event.
- Fresh tracks of motion by stationary rocks are still visible in some areas, baffling Old Earth scientists for more than 60 years; Old Earth magazines refer to them as "self-moving rocks."[38]
- Beaches have long been eroding far too quickly for the Old Earth theory; "between 80 and 90 percent of the sandy beaches along America's coastlines have been eroding for decades," sometimes by as much as 50 feet per year.[39]
- Land is sinking into the oceans at a rate of at least 7 inches per century,[40] which would have rendered most of the United States under water if the Earth were not young.
- The flow of water in the Colorado River has been declining since the early 20th century, even after usage is considered, and the man-made Lake Mead is at risk of drying up on the next decade.[41]
- Erosion of rock is far faster than atheist geology previously thought [3]. Secular science now admits that mountains don't last long, but remain strangely silent on the obvious implication. Also in the same article: extra soil created by erosion scrubs greenhouse gas CO2 from atmosphere.
William R. Corliss also provides scores of anomalies, which challenge the Old Earth paradigm.[42] An accomplished author,[43] Corliss has written 13 books for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a dozen educational booklets for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), and a dozen articles for the National Science Foundation (NSF).[44] The science magazine New Scientist had an article which focused on the career of William Corliss.[45] New Scientist wrote regarding Corliss's work: "All I can say to Corliss is carry on cataloging."[46] Arthur C. Clarke described Corliss as "Fort's latter-day - and much more scientific - successor."[47]
Science & Discovery
- A stalemate of significant and valid discoveries in the last several decades.[48]
Biblical testimony
The Bible contains multiples pieces of evidence showing its authenticity including Bible history, Bible archaeology and Bible prophecy. Competent and honest Bible exegesis indicates the earth is approximately 6,000 years old.[49]

The webinar – the first in a three-part series – will provide participants with an overview of one of the country's worst human rights crises: the sexual abuse of prisoners. It will also highlight ways that advocates can expand services to these survivors, focusing on new opportunities created by the recently issued Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) standards. Webinar participants will have the chance to hear directly from survivors themselves on the dynamics and impact of this violence.This webinar is aimed at advocates and service providers – rape crisis center staff, counselors, and administrators – though anyone who works in the victim services field is encouraged to attend. Corrections officials, law enforcement, and other professionals in related fields are also invited. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.Mark your calendars for November 14, 2012 at 11:00 am PST (8:00am EST)
