Topic DescriptionSpecific Challenge:
Research and innovation dynamics are increasingly being influenced by the development of interactions among all stakeholders ("quadruple helix" approach). More actors are involved in knowledge creation and the innovation process. Universities and research institutions collaborate with business enterprises, hospitals, local municipalities, administrations for public services and citizen organisations. At the same time, the research and innovation process is changing with the transition towards open science and open innovation. The focus is increasingly on developing, testing and rolling out solutions to societal challenges for the benefit of citizens and local jobs. Since 2014, the EU has boosted its support to this dynamics through new funding instruments and modalities, incl. smart specialisation strategies. This show the way for new hot-spots of knowledge production and co-creation in Europe.
However, information and data on this new research and innovation dynamics is relatively unknown and fragmented. Local and regional actors are often not aware of which relevant and complementary knowledge, and possible project partners, can be found in other places in Europe. And national and European policy makers do not have the overview of hot spots in Europe. This information would enable them to refine their policies and funding instruments, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of national and European knowledge systems.Scope:
The aim of a European map of knowledge co-creation is to create a methodology and web-based platform that presents data on institutional, regional and national knowledge co-creation hot-spots. The resulting maps will enable web-based search for co-creation and knowledge production hot spots addressing societal challenges or Key Enabling Technologies. The methodology will make use of state of the art of all available data sets (e.g. webometrics, bibliometrics, patent data, EU-funded collaboration, institutional data) and methods for linking them, ensuring synergies and avoiding overlaps, also taking into account social sciences and humanities and big data. It will also be flexible enough to connect to existing and complementary data systems with more traditional input and output indicators on Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and Public Research Organizations.
The funding will enable methodological developments and a European-wide pilot mapping of knowledge production, co-creation and cooperation. As a first stage, all institutions actively involved in knowledge production, co-creation and cooperation in Europe will be identified. In parallel, a common terminology will be established corresponding to specific societal challenges or technologies. The platform should have an interactive graphic interface to allow users to quickly parameter their request and obtain European maps of knowledge production, co-creation and cooperation in a specific societal challenge or technology at regional and local level.
The platform shall be fully compliant with all existing definitional standards in the field of S&T and be inter-operable and scalable, from an IT point of view.
The Union shall support the initial development of the Map. The Union therefore asks proposers to suggest a convincing, sustainable, commercially viable business model for the operation and further development of the Map in the absence of follow-up support from the Union.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU in order of EUR 2 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. This does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.Expected Impact:
The proposed Map of knowledge co-creation shall provide a more effective basis for evidence-based policy making in the EU, through giving a novel insight to the driving forces bringing about knowledge production, co-creation and cooperation for societal challenges or key enabling technologies. It will also allow actors at local and regional level to identify possible partners and peers in other countries in Europe. The map crosses over disciplines and territories and go beyond the current state of the art to identify and assess the complete range of parameters linked to measuring actors, and hot-spots addressing different challenges. It fully capitalise on recent developments in the availability of data and in computational techniques. In such a way, it shall enrich the knowledge base upon which research investment decisions are taken and harness the full power of data visualisation tools by way of collecting large datasets and presenting them in a clear and understandable way, thus allowing essential policy insights quickly, in a flexible manner, and at a reasonable cost.

DC is again facing a rising murder rate, blamed on guns, which for some odd reason isn't replicated on the west side of the Potomac, Virginia, which permits concealed carry and whose citizens own a lot of firearms. Rather than deduce that sundry social pathologies are responsible for this turn of affairs--having a large, poor, unarmed class of citizens being primary among them--DC mavens have again decided that the guns that aren't jumping out of holsters and indiscriminately killing people a few miles to the west are responsible for what is occurring in the District.
Which makes this piece all the more ironic. This is not the first time DC has legislated itself into a ballistic corner:

Such was The Da Vinci Code, people believe descendants of Atlanteans and Lemurians still inhabit this Earth. Some create giant Greek statues. Others develop a variety of arithmetic, or Scientology, maybe. But Dosh & Ghostband? They've really locked down "Produce Section" on the pre-society ripe.
Ron Howard doesn't do sequels. The director has been hard at work in the film industry for decades, and he has been cranking out original works year after year, from Splash and Ransom to A Beautiful Mind and In The Heart of the Sea. But every couple of years,...
I wasn't the greatest fan of the first two Dan Brown movies. Maybe there was too much expectation around the movie version of a blockbuster book, all featuring Tom Hanks, but it didn't really pan out. Years after The Da Vinci Code and Angels...Show More Summary
It's been a decade since The Da Vinci Code hit theaters and seven years since the same team adapted Angels & Demons and it's a little surprising just how little director Ron Howard's adaptations of author Dan Brown's art history-themed airport thrillers have remained in pop culture consciousness.

BBC News reports that author Dan Brown—like his contemporary, James Patterson—is getting into the business of children's literature, a natural evolution from writing adult books with chapter-ending cliffhangers and dialogue like, "Is it a secret you will die for?" What's more, Brown doesn't even have to write a new book. Show More Summary
The release date has been scheduled for September 13.
Released in 2003, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code was nothing short of a literary phenomenon. It has sold, according to publisher Penguin Random House, 82 million copies worldwide and spawned a blockbuster Hollywood adaptation starring Tom Hanks. Show More Summary
Tom Hanks is a force to be reckoned with as an actor, bringing his passion to bear on any project and making blockbusters out of films that might not otherwise do as well at the box offices. While 2006's The Da Vinci Code might have been a big hit with another prominent actor in place... Show More Summary

The "Da Vinci Code" series of books/films by Dan Brown are not exactly my favorite pieces of literature, to put it mildly.

Sony Pictures released a new trailer for Inferno, the third film adaptation from Dan Brown's series of history based thrillers. At the very least, you probably know his most famous work, The Da Vinci Code. I don't mean to be rude when I phrase it those terms — Brown was, at his peak, one of the […]

The first look at Inferno is here, and it looks like it will definitely be a bit of a nail-biter. After blowing fans away with The Da Vinci Code in 2006 and Angels & Demons in 2009, Tom Hanks is back as thrill seeker Robert Langdon in Inferno, the third installment in the series. Show More Summary

Personal Investment: Financial Planning in an Uncertain World
You save US$0.01
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 3 business days
"Personal Investment in an Uncertain World" aims to provide a sound introduction to personal financial investment. It considers the co-evolution of financial products, markets, regulation and socio-economic change. The challenge for individual investors is how best to negotiate this difficult and shifting terrain over a lifetime of varying choices and responsibilities. The purpose of the book is two-fold: to endow the reader with a fundamental knowledge of financial markets; and to equip them with the skills necessary for achieving their financial goals through investments.An expert author team from The Open University uses a sociological perspective to show how people can adapt to the increasing 'financialisation' of their lives, due in a large part to the shift in financial responsibility from the state to the individual. They also highlight the increasing degree to which financial markets, and the various products that are sold in those markets, affect economic stability. The book shows how personal investment decisions are located within, and influenced by, a myriad of factors in the wider world of finance and trade, and how available tools and resources can be used effectively to manage personal investments and risk. Key financial principles, practices, instruments and institutions are explained, drawing on a range of international examples and comparative case studies.Companion Website: http: //www.palgrave.com/business/mazzucato/show more

The authors unlock the doors to the secrets of what every private investor should know - how to secure a more certain tomorrow by embracing the risks and perils of a less-than-certain world today. - David Kuo, Investment Expert, The Motley Fool, www.fool.co.uk A refreshing, smart, investment book. The recession starkly revealed most economists didn't get it right. This book, drawing from sociology, psychology, and institutional economics shows the challenges real people in real lives face as they increasingly try and fail to manage life risk's through commercial and unstable financial markets. - Teresa Ghilarducci, Schwartz Professor of Economic Analysis, The New School, USA Explaining the complexities of personal investment is a challenge in itself but to locate these decisions in their political and sociological context is a stunning achievement. This is a remarkable and fascinating book that will appeal equally to finance practitioners and students of social change. - Peter Howells, Professor of Monetary Economics, Centre for Global Finance, Bristol Business School, UK An excellent undergraduate text which links the practical aspects of personal finance and investment with the relevant socio-economic theory in an intellectually stimulating manner guaranteed to engage students - Dr. Jim Mallon, Lecturer in Financial Services, School of Accounting, Economics& Statistics, Edinburgh Napier University, UK The Personal Finance Society supports the Open University and Palgrave's aim to improve understanding and inspire confidence in personal investment decision making. Personal Investment - Financial Planning in an Uncertain World will provide a good introduction to many of the key considerations underlying personal investment planning. As the UK's leading professional body for the financial advisory profession, the Personal Finance Society's mission is to improve consumer trust in personal finance by setting high technical and ethical standards for those working in the sector. In recent years financial planning has made considerable advances from a sales-led industry to a valued advisory profession. The advent of Chartered status for financial planners, and a commitment to higher professional standards, has made a career in financial planning an attractive and highly respected option for graduates. - Fay Goddard, Chief Executive, the Personal Finance Society, UK This book not only explains personal finance to those who may be confused, but also helps the reader understand why it can be so confusing. Using a thematic approach to the topic, addressing important and universal issues of risk, uncertainty and ethics, this book is more than just a traditional primer or guide to personal financial issues. It explains simply and clearly a range of concepts from economics and finance that underpin our everyday personal experience of financial services. With a broad range of topical and everyday examples, it thus sets the issue of personal finance in its wider economic and social context, providing a book that is informative and critical as well as being (importantly for this area) an accessible and enjoyable read. A good introductory textbook for universities and colleges, with a wide range of potential application, it will also be a source of guidance for those seeking a better understanding of how to cope with the risks and uncertainties that bedevil all of our personal finances. - Patrick Ring, Senior Lecturer in Financial Services, Programme Leader, Finance, Investment and Risk, Caledonian Business School, Glasgow, Scotland, UKshow more

Few Pirated Titles Named In Copyright Infringement Case Against CBS Interactive
A copyright lawsuit against CBS Interactive, the parent company of CNET, claims the company helped others infringe on copyrights by promoting and profiting on LimeWire downloads via Download.com in 2008. But when asked to provide a list of songs and movies that CNET allegedly helped others pirate, the plaintiffs came up with only six obscure titles: one movie (2007's Fish Tales) and five songs which don't yet have U.S. copyright registration.

Most publishers and some authors believe online piracy robs them of potential income, but at least one writer has managed to turn the digital pilfering of his wares into a potential gain.

Sony Can Sift Through Alleged Hacker's PayPal Records
In it's all-out legal quest to stomp an alleged hacker who released a PS3 jailbreak, Sony continues to seem to get whatever information it wants via legal channels.

Hackers Breach Nintendo 3DS Defenses Right After Device Debuts In Japan
A major reason for a video game company to come out with a new device is to make it safer from attacks by modders who find ways to let the systems play unlicensed games, as well as swipe copies of legit titles. Nintendo's honeymoon for the 3DS handheld — which was just released in Japan and comes to the U.S. in late March — is now over before it really started. [More]

A federal judge yesterday bench slapped the Recording Industry of America, calling a jury's $675,000 verdict against file sharer Joel Tenenbaum both eye-popping and unconstitutional. The judge struck a strikingly populist tone in reducing the verdict to $67,500, arguing that the same legal reasoning that protects large corporations from excessive punitive damages also protects "ordinary people" like Tenenbaum.

Feds Make 9 Movie Pirate Sites Walk The Plank

Awesome Game Offer Removes All Incentives For Piracy, Gets Pirated Anyway
Wolfire Games is running a special sale called the Humble Bundle, where you can pay as little as one penny via PayPal, Google Checkout, or Amazon, for five cross-platform indie games that are completely free of DRM or even serial numbers. Despite that, says the company, it looks like over 25% of downloads are coming from "shared links from forums and other places without actually contributing anything." That's not counting anything happening over BitTorrent. [More]
Is It Okay To Download A Pirated Copy Of A Book You Already Own?
Yesterday we wrote about someone who downloaded a pirated copy of a game after he couldn't gain access to the copy he'd already paid for. In that case, which most of our commenters supported, it was clear that the consumer was trying to resolve a problem created by the DRM. But what about if you own a printed copy of a book and you simply want to read the ebook version? Should you have to pay for a second copy? Randy Cohen, who writes the The Ethicist column for the New York Times, says downloading a copy you find online is ethical. [More]
Insane PC Game DRM Drove Me To Piracy

Just as you never want to slam on the brakes, you never want to tear open the throttle. It's all about keeping the bike and yourself balanced. This applies as much to operating the machine as it does to approaching how and when you drive. Don't expect to drive cross-country a week into your license. Know your limits and be aware of how much and what kind of experience you have. You never stop learning, and every ride is an opportunity to refine and develop your skills. If you're just getting started, find a friend who rides and follow along. Watching how more experienced riders handle themselves is one of the best ways to learn and improve. If you're an experienced rider, don't be miffed by newbies asking advice -- you were once there, too. Every rider should take pride in ushering in new members to the club that is motorcycling -- just make sure they know these essential tips so they can have the time of their lives and keep on doing so for years to come.Obviously, learning to ride a bike is essential.

Cloud computing will be the modern world's equivalent of the industrial revolution, and the UK and Europe need to take advantage before they get left behind.
That is according to Dr. Tobias Höllwarth, who says the cloud is very much here to stay and that companies should begin their optimisation before it's too late.
"It has never been a good strategy to run behind someone else in a race," Dr. Höllwarth, consultant and board member of EuroCloud, told journalists at the Cloud Enterprise Forum, Monaco.
"Cloud is changing everything for every company, every person: the way we source and work is different and people don't even know when they are using [the cloud] it's that persistent."
Despite the pervasiveness of cloud computing, he added, Europe is not taking advantage of the position it has been put into. "In every industrial revolution a number of workplaces were destroyed and replaced by new ones. IT people will be replaced if they cannot cope with a changing environment."
Providers, too, will have to tailor their offering to customers. According to data from EuroCloud, 92 per cent of all businesses in the continent have less than 10 employees, while 99.2 per cent have less than 200 employees. Outsourcing for smaller businesses, says Dr. Höllwarth, requires trust and experience.
"Cloud is like soup. A small business will go out and buy a mixture of ingredients, prepare it their way, cook it their way and produce a meal that is to their liking," he said.
"Then a big company comes along, trying to offer the soup they have produced on a production line, saying 'buy my soup, it's cheap and will always taste the same!' it has none of the tailored features that the smaller firm's own brand does."
This "SoSaaS" – "Same old software as a service" trend will be to the detriment of young businesses and those looking to gain a foothold in the global economy, continued Dr. Höllwarth.
"If young people and companies cannot participate in the economic game emerging from the adoption of cloud than the future of growth in the continent looks grim."

The nightmare of residential schools
CTV Saskatoon
Published Tuesday, February 19, 2013 6:27PM CST
Last Updated Wednesday, February 20, 2013 10:02AM CST
Hector Severight described his time at the Gordon Indian Residential School as a nightmare that still haunts him.
While there, Severight had to fight off physical and sexual abuse. Eventually, he ran away.
"It's a totally different type of life," he said.
While he made it out, new research released Monday showed that roughly 3,000 students died at residential schools across Canada. The identities of 500 of them are still unknown. The majority of the deaths were due to disease, but some were from running away, fires, and some were also due to suicide.
The new information came from the first systematic search of government and school records ever conducted for the residential schools.
Kerry O'Shea is a Saskatoon lawyer specializing in residential school claims. She said her clients paint a picture of cramped dorms where disease easily flourished. Some of her clients recall watching their friends and classmates get sick and die.
"They would see they were sick, then they would just disappear," O'Shea said. "Part of the trauma was not knowing what happened to that other little student or brother or sister."
According to O'Shea, in some cases, parents weren't told of their children's deaths until months later.
The research is part of an on-going investigation by the truth and reconciliation commission.

The recipe was easy to make, but I think it was missing a few ingredients -- perhaps some onion? Thanks for sharing!
Likeitloveit,Made this for the second time today,I did add lemon juice as another reviewer discussed.it is delicious.Will be in my keeper file for future use,thanks...Don
A nice dressing, however I found the dry mustard taste to be a bit strong for our tastes so would reduce that to 1/4 tsp next time. I made this to serve alongside some buffalo style chicken. Thx.
This dressing really is the best. I absoultely love it.
This was wonderful! I made it to go with hot wings but also ended up using it for a salad and it was great both ways. I used a Danish blue cheese and used light sour cream and mayo. Thanks so much for the recipe!
This is the best dressing of its kind I have ever put in my mouth, from a jar or from a restaurant. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!
Wow! I CRAVE salad now with this dressing! I never buy store bought blue cheese dressing because it is just not very good. This dressing is AWESOME! YAY!
Great tasting dressing! Of course, it also has to do with the type of blue cheese you buy. I used Hannaford brand. (Aged over 60 days)
I have been looking for a good blue cheese dressing and I just hit the jackpot.This is fantastic;I wish I could give it 10 stars.Thank you so much for posting.


text: News Michigan helps Dems nominate Clinton for president; Sanders delegates walk out By Steve Carmody • 6 hours ago Michigan helped put Hillary Clinton over the top last night, officially making her the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. "The next president of the United States, Hillary Clinton," U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow said as she delivered Michigan's official vote at the Democratic National Convention. Stabenow says she was overcome by emotion seeing her party choose the first woman to be a major party presidential nominee. Clinton delegate Sunny Sahu expects now the divisions within the party can heal. Highland Park says it's "very close" to water breakthrough with state By Sarah Cwiek • 11 hours ago Highland Park leaders postponed an announcement Tuesday about the city's troubled water system, citing progress in talks with Governor Snyder's office. Highland Park's water troubles go back at least to 2012. That's when the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ordered it to shut down its water treatment plant for repairs. But the plant stayed shut down. That was followed by botched billing collection, spiking water bills, and water quality issues. ACLU sends letter to Battle Creek urging them to reject anti-solicitation laws By Bryce Huffman • 11 hours ago The ACLU is urging Battle Creek officials to reject proposed anti-panhandling laws. The civil liberties group sent the Battle Creek city commission a letter discouraging proposals that would regulate solicitation and panhandling. Battle Creek city officials wrote the so-called "aggressive solicitation" proposals, based largely on complaints from local business owners and residents. Miriam Aukerman is with the ACLU of Michigan and she says it's not illegal to ask for help. Flint festival rolls out red carpet for Michigan's young filmmakers By Ryan Grimes • 11 hours ago Listen Listening... / 7:24 Our conversation with Donna Ullrich and Alex Douglas The red carpet is being rolled out this Thursday in Flint. It's the Flint Youth Film Festival, a chance for you to see the work of mid-Michigan's young filmmakers. We were joined today by Donna Ullrich, director of the Flint Youth Film Festival, and filmmaker Alex Douglas, a Flint resident and recent Mott Community College graduate who submitted two films to the festival. Governing or fundraising: What's the duty of elected officials? By Stateside Staff • 11 hours ago Listen Listening... / 8:56 Our conversation with Joe Schwarz As you watch the political conventions and decide which candidates will get your vote, here's something you'll want to think about: Who helped to pay for all of that campaigning? And what happens when that newly elected or re-elected member of Congress gets back to Washington? According to the group Issue One, members of Congress spend more than half of their time raising money, not governing. And in 2010, just .26% of the population accounted for over two-thirds of contributions to congressional campaigns. How can we fix America's campaign finance system? Tribe and state government reach a partial agreement on casino revenue By Cheyna Roth • 12 hours ago user cohdra / MorgueFile.com A Native American tribe in west Michigan has agreed to share revenue from its casino with the state as part of a dispute over online Lottery games. The Gun Lake tribe says the state broke a treaty when it started online lottery games. As a result, the tribe stopped half of its revenue sharing payments. Instead of sending the usual payments to the state, the tribe put them in an escrow account that will now be divided between the two. From the pool to the dance floor: World champion Paralympic swimmer wins ballroom dancing title By Stateside Staff • 13 hours ago Listen Listening... / 8:18 Our conversation with Cheryl Angelelli Today marks the 26th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibited discrimination against people with disabilities — people like Cheryl Angelelli. A former Paralympic swimmer, Angelelli holds four Paralympic medals and won seven world championships. Now, Angelelli is taking her talents to the dance floor. This week, she's competing in the Dancing World Championships in Las Vegas. She and her partner Tamerlan Gadirov won a medal last night at the championships. White people find it hard to talk about race By Lester Graham • 15 hours ago Lester Graham / Michigan Radio A Washington Post-ABC News poll shows the majority of Americans think race relations are getting worse. Concern about race relations spiked shortly after the reports of white police officers killing black men. Since the poll, two black men have targeted and killed police. The hunt for methane gas leaks goes high tech By Reid Frazier • 17 hours ago Listen Listening... / 4:00 Listen to today's Environment Report. Scientists are trying to find leaky gas wells and pipelines. They want to know how much of this infrastructure is leaking methane - a potent greenhouse gas. Naomi Zimmerman is checking a computer screen inside a white van that looks like it came straight from an episode of Storm Chasers. "There's a blue line with the green line, but you can't even see it anymore because the fit is spot on. We're ready to do our calibrations," she says. The Democrats have seen more fractured conventions than this By Jack Lessenberry • 18 hours ago Shortly after the Democratic National Convention got started Monday morning, I got a phone call from a near-panicked Clinton supporter. "The convention is in chaos!" she said. "Bernie Sanders' own supporters booed him when he told them to support Hillary." Listen Listening... / 3:07 Jack Lessenberry for Tuesday July 26, 2016 Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm sees a united Democratic Party, eventually By Steve Carmody • 18 hours ago Former Governor Jennifer Granholm says tonight's roll call vote will give Bernie Sanders supporters a chance to heal. Sanders delegates booed the mention of Hillary Clinton's name during the first day of the Democratic National Convention. Granholm says the Sanders supporters are dealing with a type of grief one gets when, after passionately backing a candidate, you must deal with their losing the election. "They got to take some time to be able to absorb that and see it turn," Granholm told reporters. State party chair to Sanders delegates: No booing tonight, please By Steve Carmody • 18 hours ago The head of Michigan's Democratic Party is asking his delegates to not boo speakers at tonight's Democratic National Convention. Monday, it seemed whenever Bernie Sanders supporters were booing DNC speakers, television networks panned over to the Michigan delegation. Sanders supporters in the Michigan delegation defaced pro-Hillary Clinton signs and heartily booed the mention of her name. This morning, as the delegation sat down to breakfast, Michigan State Party Chairman Brandon Dillon asked the delegates to be more respectful tonight. Detroit's mayor hopes to strike a different tone in his speech to the DNC By Steve Carmody • 21 hours ago Detroit's mayor says he plans to strike a very different tone in his speech to the Democratic National Convention this week than the tone at last week's Republican National Convention. Mayor Mike Duggan says he was surprised to be asked to speak to the Philadelphia convention. Duggan says he was "horrified" by Donald Trump's GOP presidential acceptance speech last week in Cleveland. Hillary Clinton may have to fight to keep union voters By Steve Carmody • 21 hours ago Union members have been a key voting demographic in Michigan for decades. Historically, they've been a reliable voting bloc for Democrats. But in 2016, the Trump campaign hopes to change that. Hillary Clinton can pretty much write off Joe Kinder's vote. He's a retired Ford UAW worker. "As far as Clinton goes, she can't be trusted," says Kinder. "I wouldn't vote for her." Kinder, like other members of organized labor, believes the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed by former President Bill Clinton, was a bad deal for American workers. Bernie Sanders supporters heartbroken and defiant By Steve Carmody • Jul 26, 2016 Tammie Lewis sat in her seat crying as Bernie Sanders finished his speech to the Democratic National Convention last night. Sanders spoke about what the campaign had achieved. Lewis could only think of what she has lost. "I'm just upset," Lewis said as tears streamed down her cheeks, "Nothing's going to change. He was my only hope." Other Bernie Sanders delegates from Michigan sat stone-faced as their candidate extolled the virtues of Hillary Clinton. Melissa Arab stood holding a pro-Hillary sign she had altered to read STOP HER. Detroit father gets 25-50 years after child finds gun, shoots sibling By Kate Wells • Jul 25, 2016 A Detroit man is going to prison for 25 to 50 years, after his 9-year-old son was accidentally shot by a sibling. It's one of several cases where prosecutors are going after adults for leaving guns where kids can find them. On November 9, the 9-year-old boy and his then-10 year old sister were playing in their dad's bedroom and acting out a video game. A Minute with Mike: Yoopers vs Trolls By Mike Blank • Jul 25, 2016 Vic Reyes Listen Listening... / 2:10 A Minute with Mike on Stateside I was recently on the world wide webs and came across a fairly funny vanity license plate. It had a star spangle bannered Upper Peninsula and a caption that read "American by birth. Yooper by the grace of God." Funny enough for a 1977 Ford Granada but I won't be screwing that onto my bumper any time soon. But that plate got me thinking: Yooper is the universal unofficial term for our fellow Michiganeers in the Upper Peninsula but what about us in the Lower Peninsula? How five-gallon buckets of salsa from Metro Detroit became $231 million By Stateside Staff • Jul 25, 2016 Listen Listening... / 15:23 Stateside's conversation with Dave Zilko You may not know Dave Zilko's name, but you've probably seen his products in your grocery store. Zilko is the former vice chairman of Garden Fresh Gourmet. He and business partners Jack and Annette Aronson took a scrappy little Oakland County company that was deep in debt and turned it into the number one brand of fresh salsa in North America, with revenues topping $100 million. Last June, Garden Fresh was sold to Campbell Soup Company for $231 million. Genius of the Year says autistic people like him are "untapped resource" in global economy By Stateside Staff • Jul 25, 2016 The Next Idea We in Michigan usually take great pride in our state's natural beauty and precious resources. So, I find it incredibly disheartening that one of our state's most beautiful and precious resources – its autistic community – is largely misunderstood, marginalized and woefully under-valued. Why do mental health resources vary so widely across Michigan? By Stateside Staff • Jul 25, 2016 Listen Listening... / 8:42 Bob Sheehan answers an M I Curious question on Stateside. Don Williams of Holland posed this question to our M I Curious team: Why are public resources for mental health issues very uneven between Michigan counties? Keeping reporting alive in Oakland County By Jack Lessenberry • Jul 25, 2016 There are thousands of journalists in Philadelphia today, covering the opening of the Democratic National Convention. I don't want to give anything away, but the Democrats are going to end up nominating Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine. Listen Listening... / 3:11 Jack Lessenberry for Monday July 25, 2016 Remember, you heard it here first. But there are fewer print reporters than there used to be, and they will return to newsrooms that have a small fraction of the staffs they once did. Increasingly, so-called dailies don't deliver every day, or cover nearly as many stories. Gov. Snyder snubs Trump, but throws money to House GOP incumbents By Zoe Clark & Rick Pluta • Jul 25, 2016 Listen Listening... / 3:12 It's Just Politics with Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta, July 25th, 2016 Governor Rick Snyder says he's staying out of the presidential race this year, but he's not staying out of politics. This past week, Snyder's political operation picked more than a dozen Republicans to support in state races. Threshold Choir sings to people on their deathbed By Kyle Norris • Jul 25, 2016 Kyle Norris/Michigan Radio Here's how the Threshold Choir works. Typically, Hospice or a family member call ups the choir when someone is sick or dying. A small group of singers arrive at the person's bedside and sing very simple songs with lyrics like "You are not alone, I am here beside you." Choir members say it's not a performance but rather a way to be present with someone who's dying. Their friends tease them that singing to people on their deathbed must be depressing. But the singers say it's energizing and life-affirming. They say it's the opposite of depressing. Sanders supporters go from "Feeling the Bern" to feeling burned by the DNC By Steve Carmody • Jul 25, 2016 The Democratic National Convention starts today. There are some Michiganders in Philadelphia this week hoping to change the all-but-certain outcome. A rag tag caravan of cars, vans and campers rolled into the Parvin State Park campground in southern New Jersey just after 10 o'clock Saturday night. Almost immediately a group of Bernie Sanders supporters picked up guitars and started singing. The campground in south Jersey is about as far from Philadelphia as these Sanders supporters are from voting for Hillary Clinton in November. Michigan congresswoman says DNC chair had to go By Steve Carmody & The Associated Press • Jul 24, 2016 Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingell says Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz needed to resign her job. Revelations that the DNC under Wasserman-Schultz' leadership tried to undermine Bernie Sanders' campaign led to her announcement Sunday to step down. Dingell says Wasserman-Schultz is a friend, but the Florida congresswoman had to go. A "crash" course in traffic reports By Rebecca Kruth & Anne Curzan • Jul 24, 2016 Some things are inevitable when you're a radio host. It's almost time to go on the air, and you're ready. Your headlines are juicy and your weather forecast is spot on. You've even got a great line to get people to listen to that segment on the mating rituals of the brown marmorated stink bug. Your finger is poised over the microphone button, and then you think, "Maybe I should check the traffic map one last time, just in case." Why not? You've got 30 whole seconds to spare. That's when you see it. Macomb, Oakland concerns could blow up Metro Detroit transit plan By Sarah Cwiek • Jul 23, 2016 An ambitious plan to expand and upgrade regional transit in Metro Detroit might stall out because two key regional players aren't on board. Those two key players are Oakland and Macomb counties. The Southeast Michigan Regional Transit Authority wants to put a millage on the November ballot, that would raise about $3 billion (estimates vary) over 20 years to fund its proposed transit master plan. The RTA board was supposed to approve the ballot measure this week, but ended up postponing the vote at the last minute. Week in Review: One party convention down, one to go By Rebecca Kruth & Jack Lessenberry • Jul 23, 2016 This Week in Review, Rebecca Kruth and Jack Lessenberry wrap up the Republican National Convention and look toward Philadelphia where the Democratic National Convention is set for next week. Kruth and Lessenberry also discuss a federal ruling that blocks Michigan's ban on straight ticket voting and the loss of one of the state's most prominent LGBT rights advocates. Listen Listening... / 3:54 Listen to the conversation. Both parties should be embarrassed by their presidential candidates By Daniel Howes • Jul 23, 2016 Listen Listening... / 3:17 Daniel Howes, July 23rd, 2016 Forget the cheering, bravado and juvenile attacks that came from Republicans in Cleveland this week. Ignore the apocalyptic predictions of what could become of the United States should either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton be elected president. Ask yourself only this: Is this the best we can do? Detroit Historical Society wants stories from 1967 riots By Rebecca Kruth • Jul 22, 2016 In the summer of 1967, the streets of Detroit shook with violence. Civil unrest over lack of housing for blacks and open animosity with the mostly white police department boiled over in the early morning hours of July 23. What began with a police raid on an unlicensed after-hours club grew into rioting and looting that devastated parts of the city and lasted for days. Then-governor George Romney called in the National Guard, and President Lyndon Johnson sent in paratroopers to help quell the violence. Pages1 2 3 4 … next › last »

I'm no Buddhist expert, but aren't they supposed to be kind of "go with the flow" Zen in their outlook and spirituality? I have a friend who's Buddhist, and I can't picture him hating on any religion, current or former, just because he doesn't have it anymore.
The way I see religion, in terms of how froggy it's members get, ranges something like this:
-—> Mormon/Christian -—→ Scientology
With the latter being the most easily offended and liable to take combative measures.
(Edit: I forget to include extremist Muslims in graph. They're an outlier to the right of Scientology; off the charts nuts.)
