Posted on 06/22/2013 4:42:35 PM PDT by Enza Ferreri
The end to animal experimentation seems to be nearer than we could previously imagine. In 2008 three US federal government agencies, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Toxicology Program (NTP), signed a "Memorandum of Understanding" with the aim of ending animal testing of drugs and chemicals for human use.
The realization of this ambitious plan will take years, but it's a start of historic importance, especially considering that the three agencies involved have been among animal testing's biggest funding bodies.
This momentous agreement followed a 2007 report released by the world's most prestigious scientific body, the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, entitled "Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: a Vision and a Strategy".
The report acknowledges the superiority of non-animal methods of testing substances for toxicity to humans, compared to animal methods.
The report admits that the animal testing method has never been accurately evaluated for reliability and usefulness but used by acquiescence and historical habit, and recommends non-animal methods of testing on in vitro human cell lines, epidemiological studies, and computational methods.
This entirely new trend in the most pro-animal-experimentation scientific establishment community in the world is due not to ethical considerations for the welfare of lab animals, but rather to the recognition of the many profound limitations of animal testing as a scientifc method.
Apologists of animal experimentation say that, while non-human animals species are similar to the human species in all characteristics that are relevant to permit extrapolations of results from experiments performed on them to us, they are still sufficiently different from humans in all ethically relevant aspects to make such experimentation morally acceptable.
How convenient. That is the best of both worlds. Nature has, in its magnanimity, created beings who tick all the boxes, fit all our needs in this department: complex and human-like enough to experiment upon, and at the same time simple and dumb enough to not be worth bothering about ethical issues concerning them.
Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately (depending on your perspective), contemporary evolutionary biology has got news for proponents of this argument.
Modern evolutionists, proponents of the so-called New Synthesis in biology, say that, when a change occurs in one species to adapt to its environment, this primary change is not alone: it is always accompanied by other modifications of characteristics different from the first, not so much to adapt to the environment as to adapt to the primary change in the bodies of the members of that species.
So, now we have the modern human species (Homo Sapiens Sapiens), evolved in such a way to have developed exceptionally large brains, unique - as far as we know - in the animal world, and erect standing, again the only species to have done so.
It would be impossible according to contemporary evolution biology, it would go against the grain of it, if these gigantic changes had not been brought with them other substantial modifications to differentiate humans from other species even further.
When we think of erect standing, for instance, we realize that the disposition of internal organs in us must differ from that in quadrupeds: vertical versus horizontal.
What we are saying is rather simple, and we are not in contradiction either with modern biology or with our own statements.
The human species is indeed unique. But its differences with other animal species are of a quantitative, not qualitative, nature.
It would be inconceivable for a species to have developed characteristics which are not also, to some extent, present in other species. Natura non facit saltus, or nature does not make jumps, is still true now as it was when the phrase was first coined. The larger human brain evolved from similar, if smaller, primate brains. It is exceptional, but not extraordinary or supernatural.
This means that other animal species will share with humans important mental characteristics, like intelligence, awareness, self-awareness, emotions, sensations, and the like. They will be less intelligent, maybe, but still intelligent. Many will have a sense of self as we have, albeit possibly less developed. Children of various ages are probably a good comparison for other animal species with different degrees of capabilities.
So we are not denying that the human and other animal species have a lot in common. But we are saying that, because we know that there must also be important differences, we cannot possibly tell in advance what they are. When someone performs an experiment on an animal species, what is unknown - by definition - is not only the result on that species and on the human species, but also, and this is the crucial point, whether humans and the species in question are the same or different in that respect. That is always necessarily the case - otherwise the experiment would be pointless - because, in order to know if there is likeness or unlikeness between two things, we first need to know the two things to compare: that is, in this case, both what the experimental results are for that species and the corresponding datum in the human species, and the latter is exactly the purpose of the investigation so cannot be known.
Animal testing is not just bad for animals but for humans too.
Animal experimentation has many serious limitations as a scientific method, which are explored in the Animal Testing section of the Human Health and Animal Ethics site.
Bio-medical researchers keep using animals because it is the current paradigm, because the theory behind it, outlined by the French physiologist Claude Bernard in the 19th century, is still the prevailing orthodoxy of the field.
There has been no validation of animal experimentation as a method with useful applications to human health, indeed there is ample evidence to the contrary. We examine this evidence in the Animal Testing section.
We look at alternative methods of biomedical research and why they are better.
Don't test animals. They do not know the answers. /s
Did the Nazis "do it right" with tests on Humans?
How about tests on prisoners!
And the first time someone is injured by a drug, that was not tested on something living, and sues the hell out of the drug companies, we will have to listen to thousands more of lawyer commercials on TV!
I'm sorry, but there is no scientific rationale for completely abolishing animal studies. As a scientist—who loves animals to the point where I will not kill a spider or insect in my house, but instead capture them and put them outside—I am horrified by the prospect of eliminating animal studies. That would pretty much stop medical research in its tracks.
I have to wonder what an animal-rights activist is doing posting on a conservative forum.
You can't do a really good test on animals.
You need humans.
First of all that is an ad, it is not produced by the site.
Secondly, they mean euthanasia for non-human animals, not for humans, if that is what attracted your attention so much.
Are you an animal rights activist or are you not?
Do you support PETA or do you not?
Two simple questions you can answer with a yes or no.
I don't love animal testing and I'm glad there are other means of testing many things. However, some things still require it.
I support animal rights. I do not support PETA.
Thank you...Am glad you don't support PETA and would also say I would not post an article from a site that PETA advertises on, but I guess that's just me.
The article above is full of half-truths and outright lies.
Where possible, researchers use animal alternatives. Animals are expensive, and every study that involves animals must be reviewed by an ethics committee. If a procedure might cause pain to an animal, the researcher must explain how they plan to relieve the pain—and if they don't plan to give pain relief, they must have a strong experimental justification for it. In addition, any researcher doing studies with live animals must take species-specific ethics training annually. This training includes learning how to humanely euthanize animals when continuing the experiment would cause too much pain—allowing an animal to die could mean that it experienced a lot of pain. And so on, and so on.
While computers are essential for research, they simply cannot model a complex biological system.
There are many kinds of experiments that do not require testing in animals. For instance, I did not need live animals to try to figure out how dioxin is poisonous when I was in grad school—indeed, the kinds of experiments I did couldn't have been done in animals. However, I used tissue extracts (taken from animals), and I grew cells, which need to be fed with fetal calf serum.
I could go on, but I won't. The bottom line is that there is no substitute for animal use in research, unless one is doing plant research.
Animals don't have rights, animal testing is useful, and this "article" is mostly lies and BS.
Absolutely right, it was difficult reading the entire mess.
Good for you! Animals do indeed have rights: the right not to be treated cruelly, the right not to be abused or neglected, the right to shelter, food, and water. Those are legal "rights", the abridgement of which is punishable by law, so those braying that animals do not have rights need to get a clue. Agree about PETA — as do most pro-animal groups who know what they believe. It's only the "no rights for animals" people who are truly in the dark about them and start screeching about PETA on animal threads....
The site has no control over which ads are shown, they are automatically served.
If you accuse someone of writing half-truths, let alone lies, you should give specific references, whereas you do not explain what these half-truths and lies are. This is the standard procedure in scientific and academic discourse, which, as a scientist - as you profess to be - you should know very well and practice.
You say that researchers where possible use animal alternatives because animals are expensive.
But in reality, as in all areas where big business and huge amounts of money are involved, the opposite happens: the interests at stake are so great that a massive campaign of promotion - and misinformation, into which trap you seem to have fallen - is put into place.
Be it manufacturers of cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, weapons, or the animal experimentation industry, if something which is bad for human welfare is at the same time good for some peoples pockets they will find a way to advertise it, justify it and make it appear right.
Also, public research establishments can have an interest in using animals to justify their requests for higher grants and funding.
There is a huge industry behind animal experiments: lab animal breeders, carers, handlers, importers, manufacturers of products for lab animals and so on.
The "strong experimental justification for it" that you claim must be given is simply the dogmatic belief in a 19th-century paradigm of reductionist, anti-evolutionist biology, that of Claude Bernard.
You say: "While computers are essential for research, they simply cannot model a complex biological system."
Nor the complex biological system of a species can model that of another. You cannot have it both ways: if a biological system is complex, it is also species-specific.
The bottom line is that you have not given any valid arguments in support of your bottom line.
You make another comment: "I have to wonder what an animal-rights activist is doing posting on a conservative forum."
What is there in conservatism that is irreconcilable with advancing the moral status of animals?
This is another dogmatism, like believing that we cannot do without animal experiments.
This article is indeed difficult, it requires specialist knowledge, which commenters who can only use one sentences and monosyllables like "mostly lies", "BS" and "mess" and believe that they have delivered arguments evidently do not possess.
I will only comment on this part for now, because I have to go to work soon.
The problem with pseudoscience is that, because it is not based on any sort of evidence, it is impossible to counter point-by-point. A scientist such as myself only has one reality to describe, while anti-science activists can invent an infinite number of lies. Anti-science activists also use a liberal amount of scientific jargon--usually incorrectly--but their target audience is unlikely to understand it, or to recognize the misuse of scientific terminology. Furthermore, how can I point at a specific lie or half-truth and provide a reference? The very fact that it is a lie or half-truth means that it is *not* supported by any evidence-based reference; if I were to follow the reference chain on any of those lies, they would lead, at best, to the originator of the lie. Most likely, the reference chain would lead nowhere.
Wow it took you 3 days to come up with an answer, and it's nothing more than an insult. Sorry out here in reality the article IS lies, no special knowledge needed.
I don't spend all my time reading comments. You seem to think that I spent 3 days thinking of your comment before I could "come up with an answer".
It is no more an insult than calling somebody a liar.
I'm simply telling the truth. If you do not have specialist knowledge of the subject of an article which requires it, you cannot tell whether what it says is true or not.
I do not know if you are a scientist, but I certainly know that you do not understand the difference between science and philosophy of science.
What I wrote cannot be pseudo-science, because it does not claim to be science. It is philosophy of science, epistemology, so it is not science itself, but *about* science. That's what I am, a philosopher of science, that's what I graduated in.
Have you ever heard of Popper, Kuhn, Feyerabend? Ever heard of epistemology?
You go on about anti-science activists, but that has nothng to do with my article. You are obviously referring to other people and do not address what I wrote except with insulting terms like "lies" and such.
Again, a lie - do I really have to explain these things to a self-professed "scientist"? - is something intended to deceive, in analogy with pseudo-science pretending to be science.
Children always talk about people telling them lies, adults simply and intelligently say that they disagree with a certain opinion, if that is the case as it seems to be now.
In addition, that pseudo-science cannot be countered point-by-point is a groundless statement going against evidence, since it has been done innumerable times.
Indeed, specific lack of evidence is an argument against specific pseudo-scientific claims. The operative word here, though, is "specific". Just to say: "It's a lie", although might be well received in a kindergarten playground, would not be accepted by any reasonable person capable of rational discussion.
You can't have it both ways: either you can counter an argument, in which case you should, or you cannot, in which case how can you possibly say that it's fallacious? You have fallen into a paradox.
I totally agree.
I don't care why it takes you multiple days to reply, but it does show a lack of care. Which makes sense. Not much reason to care when you're pushing forth a line of lies and BS. No specialist knowledge is needed, that's just a dodge for a liar that knows no facts will defend his lies.
I am a scientist, and it should have been very clear from my style of writing and apparent familiarity with the subject matter that I do not write about scientific matters from an abstract viewpoint. Also, I could not care less about "philosophy of..." anything. I'm sure that if you were to talk with someone who studies "philosophy of science", they would spout all kinds of mumbo-jumbo that have little or nothing to do with the practice of science.
What I wrote cannot be pseudo-science, because it does not claim to be science. It is philosophy of science, epistemology, so it is not science itself, but *about* science. Thats what I am, a philosopher of science, thats what I graduated in.
What you wrote falls clearly into both the anti-science and pseudo-science categories. It is anti-science, because it complains about current best practices in scientific/medical research, without any apparent understanding of why and how we scientists select our methodologies. It is pseudo-science because it puts forth claims that cannot be supported by any evidence--for instance, that computer modeling could substitute for empirical experimentation--and insists that those would be better scientific practices than the actual practices in use. Our current methodology is a result of thousands of years of method refinement; no one who does not have scientific training can possibly say with any credibility, "Oh, wouldn't this OTHER way that aligns with my particular world view be better for science?" Short answer: it wouldn't.
I should also point out that if you want to know *about* science, you are far better off talking to real scientists than to philosophers. Philosophers cannot reason their way into understanding how and why we do what we do, but scientists, for the most part, love to talk about it, in both the theory and the practice. In other words, we are far more expert in our guiding philosophies than any philosopher can be.
Have you ever heard of Popper, Kuhn, Feyerabend? Ever heard of epistemology?
They are irrelevant. A big difference between scientists and philosophers is that scientists are very concrete people who deal strictly with the observable and testable, while philosophers deal with abstractions that have little basis in the physical world. There is little commonality between scientific thought and philosophical musings. The word "philosophy" in my degree has a different meaning than the word "philosophy" used as a college course title.
You go on about anti-science activists, but that has nothng to do with my article. You are obviously referring to other people and do not address what I wrote except with insulting terms like lies and such.
Your article is little different than any other anti-science article I have seen. There are many flavors of anti-science (animal rights, environmentalism, creationism, vaccine refusal, organic foodism, etc.) but they all have common threads. They complain that the actual science is somehow unreliable and defective. They propose alternatives that not only cannot possibly work, but which would cause research to come to a screeching halt. They claim that scientists' refusals to use their alternatives holds back scientific research. It does not matter how you dress up your particular brand of anti-science, it is not novel.
Again, a lie - do I really have to explain these things to a self-professed scientist? - is something intended to deceive, in analogy with pseudo-science pretending to be science.
The lies of anti-science are very subtle, often being written using similar language as scientists. They have a specific target--people who have minimal, if any, scientific training, but who know enough to recognize the language use. To use a specific example from your previous post--that computer modeling can substitute for animal use--this sounds plausible to someone who sees the entire world around them as mostly a black box, having no idea about how anything works or the complexity of chemical/physical processes that all combine to form the world we experience. Computers are mind-bogglingly complex, aren't they? So claiming that computer modeling can substitute for actual experiments makes perfect sense to them. But as a scientist, I recognize the lie immediately, and am also left with the rather helpless certainty that no matter how much I explain how and why computers are unlikely to ever substitute for actual experiments, the explanations will roll off like water from a duck's back. The target audience for this brand of lies does not want to know reality, it wants to believe the pseudoscience.
In addition, that pseudo-science cannot be countered point-by-point is a groundless statement going against evidence, since it has been done innumerable times.
Indeed, specific lack of evidence is an argument against specific pseudo-scientific claims. The operative word here, though, is specific. Just to say: Its a lie, although might be well received in a kindergarten playground, would not be accepted by any reasonable person capable of rational discussion.
It is a game of whack-a-mole. I can counter a specific lie with reams of evidence, complete with links to the relevant studies. But as soon as I do, the anti-science believer will come up with a new lie or different angle on the same old lie. And when I counter that with facts, explanations, and evidence, they produce yet another lie--actually, they rarely produce just a single lie in response, they produce several. I am constrained in that I must stick to reality, but my opponents in this argument have no such constraints. I care about reality; they care about feelings. Another facet of this game of whack-a-mole is that the lies are never presented alone; usually they are part of a long screed replete with lies. To adequately counter a single lie in such a screed takes more time and effort than they put into writing their entire screed; a full refutation of every lie in such a screed would end up being quite long.
Mostly, I am content to leave people alone who like living their lives in an emotional swamp, but in cases where their feelings endanger scientific progress or their health, I speak up. For example, I'm unlikely to say anything to someone extolling the virtues of "organic foods"--they may pay more for food than they have to, but they aren't necessarily endangering their lives--but I *will* counter those who promote the consumption of raw milk, because that practice *does* cause illness and death.
You cant have it both ways: either you can counter an argument, in which case you should, or you cannot, in which case how can you possibly say that its fallacious? You have fallen into a paradox.
There is no paradox. My decision to select one or two example lies to refute, instead of taking the time and effort to refute *all* of them does not mean that I am unable to counter those lies, or that they cannot be refuted. It means that the time and effort I have to refute lies is finite, while the lies are infinite.
To illustrate: in theory, I can remove and count every single grain of sand on a beach. In practice, such an effort would take an extraordinary amount of time and effort, which I could use for more worthwhile activities. So, instead of counting every grain, I will take a core sample somewhere in the middle of the beach, quantitate the sand in that core, measure and estimate the volume of the beach, and extrapolate data measured from my sample to derive the number of sand grains on the beach. In this way, I take an activity that might take years and condense it into a few days' worth of work. My approach to the lies of pseudoscience is similar.
I thought you were against insults. A bit of hypocrisy.
It has nothing to do with caring. How long it takes to reply depends on how busy a person is. Jumping to conclusions seems to be your praxis.

* Gold consolidates as investors eye more cbank moves, US data * Spot gold may fall to $1,737.50/oz -technicals * Coming up: U.S. ADP employment report; 1215 GMT (Adds details; updates prices) By Rujun Shen SINGAPORE, Oct 3 Gold held near an 11-month high on Wednesday, as uncertainty over Spain's bailout plan kept investors on their toes while they wait for a key U.S. job market report to shed light on the effectiveness of the latest stimulus measures. Gold barely moved from the end of last week after posting a fourth straight month of gains in September, spurred by the aggressive stimulus measures of central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank. But the momentum has fizzled in the absence of a fresh catalyst. Investors are eyeing Spain, now the centre of the euro zone debt crisis, after the country's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy denied a Reuters report of an imminent request for bailout. "The real challenges will again drive the market," said Jeremy Friesen, a commodity strategist at Societe Generale in Hong Kong. "We are going through a bit of a consolidation period until we see what happens. My suspicion is that we'll get more monetary policy responses from other central banks as the Fed programme kicks off and the ECB programme starts, probably by the end of this month. That's bullish for commodities like gold." Gold is forecast to reach an average of $1,800 an ounce in the first quarter of 2013 as a result, he added. Spot gold was little changed at $1,772.69 an ounce by 0624 GMT. It hit $1,791.20 this week, its highest level since last November. U.S. gold traded nearly flat at $1,775.10. Data from China and Australia showing further weakness in those economies added to expectations for more action from central banks, after Australia's surprise rate cut on Tuesday. The dollar index rose as the global outlook darkened, weighing on commodities priced in the greenback by making them more expensive for buyers holding other currencies. Technical analysis suggested that spot gold could fall to $1,737.50 an ounce during the day, Reuters market analyst Wang Tao said. Trade was thin as key player China is closed for the entire week for a public holiday, and investors turned cautious ahead of the U.S. job market report due on Friday. Job growth is likely to have improved only slightly in September as businesses remained cautious out of fear a sharp tightening of the government's budget could deliver a big blow to the economic recovery early next year. Elsewhere in Asia, the sale of physical material from Indonesia ebbed after rupiah-priced gold hit a record high earlier in the week, dealers said. "There was much selling earlier and now it's drying up slowly," said a dealer based in Singapore. Anglo American Platinum, the world's top platinum producer, warned on Tuesday that security had worsened at its strike-hit South African mines as several thousand gold miners rallied over pay in the dispute-plagued industry. Strong U.S. auto sales data helped platinum group metals, widely used in making autocatalysts. Sales last month posted their best showing in 4-1/2 years, helped by cheap financing, rising consumer confidence and a major rebound by Toyota Motor Corp. Spot platinum was little changed at $1,667.99 and spot palladium slipped 0.6 percent to $643.10.

From Marx Bitware: This handy little tool queries two DNS servers and lists the IP addresses returned. If you are having connection problems, or are being directed to the wrong site, then a corrupt DNS server can be the cause. You are free to enter the IP address of any DNS server and analyze the returned results. The program works by obtaining random website addresses from Google. These addresses are then sent to each of the DNS servers and the results of the lookups are displayed by the application. The program is set to query two major DNS servers by default, however, any valid DNS server will work.

It's a busy week for John Cusack. Yesterday, we reported that the actor was now attached to the long-in-development Stephen King adaptation Cell. Today comes new information that he's negotiating to appear in another project.
The latest film courting Cusack is the "aerial action thriller" Airspace. Variety says the film is being described as "Duel in the sky" and finds Cusack playing a charter pilot who's attacked by an MiG fighter after he discovers a mysterious briefcase aboard his own plane. As fans of Spielberg's Duel, we're intrigued by this pitch.
Should Cusack accept the part, he'll most likely be working with Killing Zoe director Roger Avary on the film. Avary has reportedly already started polishing the script. Variety points out this should be right up his alley since he won an Oscar for his work on Pulp Fiction – another film featuring a mysterious briefcase.
We'll bring you more details once Airspace has officially been cleared for take-off.

By Hugo Sanchez
SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - A volcano in eastern El Salvador belched more ash and gases on Monday after a big eruption on Sunday that forced more than 1,600 people into emergency shelters. No major injuries or damage were reported.
The Chaparrastique volcano, which is about 140 km (87 miles) east of the capital San Salvador, spewed ash over a wide area known for its coffee plantations on Sunday.
"The Chaparrastique volcano is still producing gases combined with small emissions of ash, which is normal after an eruption," El Salvador's environment ministry said on its Twitter page.
In all, 1,635 people are in seven temporary shelters, emergency services said. Some people on the volcano's slopes have refused to leave, emergency services said.
More than 36 international flights into and out of El Salvador were suspended because of the eruption, the airport and airlines said.
El Salvador has 23 active volcanoes. Chaparrastique is considered one of the most active, with 26 eruptions in the last 500 years, the environment ministry said.
In a 1976 eruption, lava gushed from the volcano. Chaparrastique shook violently in another event in 2010.

Dartmouth College Project to Boost STEM in Rural Libraries
The project will attempt to turn 110 rural libraries into STEM learning centers for rural residents.
The project will attempt to turn 110 rural libraries into STEM learning centers for rural residents.
Many students involved in the national study avoided summer learning loss and in some cases, showed reading improvement between spring and fall.
The program will provide books and resources to 20,000 rural children in four states.
The project aims to build capacity among rural educators and communities to boost early-literacy skills.
Students who have participated in the initiative in one Kansas district have made steep reading gains and need fewer reading interventions than before the program.
The grants will be used to teach students about career opportunities in agriculture.
The Kansas Reading Roadmap hopes to promote 3rd grade reading proficiency, which research has shown is a strong predictor of students' future success.
Article in Journal of Research in Rural Education explores how three rural districts boosted students' test scores by implementing a rigorous reading program that included improving teachers' instruction.
Rural and urban third graders' reading levels fell short of their suburban peers, according to a brief from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire.

Released: Mar 01st, 2006
Running Time: 82
Director: S Morris
Company: Heatwave Entertainment
Cast: Amanda (I), Bruce Vain, Billy Banks, Bishop, Brooklyn (I), Byron Long, L.T., Poppy Morgan, Sophie Dee, Cytherea
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
I could give you three guesses about the content in Black Balled 7, but you'd probably only need one. Here's the scoop: A bunch of white chicks get down with a bunch of black dicks. Got it? Good.
A young English chick gets it on with Byron Long and a friend, and it's pretty hot. She's very small, they're not, and the contrast is kind of stunning. It's amazing that she keeps up as well as she does.
Of course, it doesn't get any better than Cytherea, here a brunette, still a fucking superstar and fucking like one. It's a subdued performance, but the girl is still red fucking hot.
The rest is OK, but the two scenes mentioned above really drive its stock up.
Retailing: Two hot scenes, plus interracial sex. Stock it.

Sniper Elite III PC
- Publisher: Rebellion
- Release Date: Jun 27, 2014
- Also On: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Jun 27, 2014Surprisingly good compared to Sniper Elite 2 and great fun for sniper fans.
Jun 27, 2014A positive step forward in the series, which adds freedom and polish the gameplay mechanics. Recommended for those who enjoyed the series before, and still deserves a try if you like the concept.
Jun 27, 2014Sniper Elite 3 provides good tactical gameplay with an open level design. It may not be the best game around, but still a vast improvement over its predecessor.
Aug 6, 2014Sniper Elite 3 is a relatively fun niche shooter experience that improves some of the faults seen in its predecessors, particularly in regards to mission design and the open nature of levels. It's still weighed down by bugs, erratic AI, and a shoddy story, but it will certainly entertain fans of the franchise and those looking for a thinking man's shooter experience.
PC PowerPlayJul 30, 2014Fun enough for some dedicated campers, with some truly tense multiplayer action. [Aug 2014, p.50]
Jul 21, 2014Sniper Elite 3 is a great example of a studio that got enlightened by mistakes of its previous game, and thus successfully repairs its reputation. Open and cleverly designed locations full of possibilities will entertain you for hours. Thanks to its improved AI, although still problematic here and there, its stealth approach is a very viable way to missions accomplish, and a feeling of firing is wonderful. For a gamer untouched by the theme, the game will get tarnished its original lustre, yet if you long for some entertaining experiences with a sniper rifle, you should not miss Sniper Elite 3.
Jul 10, 2014If you happened to play Sniper Elite V2, you already have a good idea of how Sniper Elite III plays - but this latest iteration does everything a bit better. With less than a dozen maps, relatively lacklustre story and questionable enemy AI, Sniper Elite III is a flawed but enjoyable game nonetheless.
Jul 6, 2014Sniper Elite III is like working from home for me. Although I enjoy the tasks and executing them, I feel like there are ways to make doing them more rewarding and engaging.
Jul 3, 2014Sniper Elite 3 gets its sniping pretty right, but all the things it gets wrong keep it from reaching its potential.
Jul 2, 2014A good balance between precision sniping and arcade elements, Sniper Elite III is hampered by a severe lack of content, ambition and depth, but remains nonetheless an enjoyable experience.
Jul 1, 2014Fun sniping and great mission design just barely eclipse bugs, exploitable AI, and other issues that would make a lesser game impossible to recommend.
Aug 27, 2014Sniper Elite 3 is hardly worth it, but at least it's nice to see that the series is changing its course.
CD-ActionAug 25, 2014Once again Rebellion did not step outside the familiar, comfortable zone of games that are interesting but not outstanding. [08/2014, p.60]
Jul 1, 2014If you can't get enough of dramatic, transparent shots of enemies getting shredded by sniper fire, Sniper Elite III has you covered in spades. If you're interested in more motivation beyond the glory of the kill, look elsewhere.
Jul 5, 2014Sniper Elite 3 is an idiot savant of a game, excelling in one specific area while being almost obtuse in many others.
Game World Navigator MagazineAug 21, 2014It may seem that SE3 is absolutely hopeless, but it is not. After all there are not so many games around where you have to lie on your belly for half an hour and methodically perforate your enemies' heads. If you prefer that kind of gameplay then Sniper Elite 3 will be the right choice in spite of all the bugs. [September 2014, p. 72]
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Aug 25, 2014A solid action game, focused on stealth, larger maps and picking enemies from a distance. The game has its weak spots but in overall, plays refreshingly. [Issue#244]
Jul 11, 2014In some respects – particularly in its graphics and slightly more refined shooting – Sniper Elite 3 is a better game than its predecessor. That said, it's grandfathered in a lot of Sniper Elite V2's AI issues, while also forcing players to micromanage too much when it comes to sniping.
Jul 4, 2014Good atmosphere, lovelly weapons but the many bugs and the idiotic enemies makes for a pretty big let down.

An improved product. levels are bigger and moreAfter an enjoyable romp through Sniper Elite V2 we now have Sniper Elite 3. A good game. An improved product. levels are bigger and more interesting. Game play is less linear and gives the player far more sense of control. It's visually beautiful. Shooting compute based enemies in the nuts never gets old. Despite that I have to shave some score points of as a protest at the pricing of the day 1 DLC. $10 to get Hitler. $10 to open up a couple of different characters. Pretty rich for day 1. The game has a great engine. It makes sense then to wait a while and offer expansion-sized DLC, with new maps that EXPAND the core game. Instead Rebellion went down the path of cutting out core content to be resold with the rort of being a 'pre-order bonus'. It's a putrid idea and it is pretty silly to be doing that right in the middle of the Steam summer sale.

Answered: How do I get the currently visible node/leaf in a NestedList?
When using a treeStore in a NestedList, is there a way to get a reference to the node or leaf (a Model or NodeInterface object) that is currently visible?
I have a treeStore with data like this:
[ { title: 'hello', info: 'foo', leaf: false, children: [ { title: 'hello.1', leaf: false, children: [...] }, { title: 'hello.2', leaf: false, children: [...] } ], }, { title: 'goodbye', info: 'bar', leaf: false, children: [...] } ]
That's why I'd like to be able to query the nestedlist for the currently visible leaf or node. Is that possible?
I'm thinking about routing around the problem by adding a listener to the nestedlist's 'selectionchange' event and storing a reference to the selected node that I can lookup later if the user taps the "Info" button, but I think that's ugly.
You could get the current Node based off the current active items store.
23 Feb 2013 8:57 AM #2
You could get the current Node based off the current active items store.
25 Feb 2013 4:43 PM #3
Thanks! That did it.
Would you happen to know what kind of setup needs to happen to have NestedList.getActiveItem() return an Ext.dataview.List instance instead of the default value of the number 0 (zero)? I tried to write a Jasmine test for this code with some hard-coded test data in the store and an instance of the view rendered directly into a hidden DIV, and even though the code works fine in the real app, the test fails, because getActiveItem() is returning 0 (integer zero) when running under Jasmine.
BTW, thanks for hosting the Chicago Sencha meetup. See you guys Thursday. :-)
25 Feb 2013 6:47 PM #4
I would have to assume your NestedList doesn't have a store. You would see a value of 0 via getActiveItem if the store was not supplied to the NestedList.
Quick test with a hidden div "hList"
Ext.get('hList').appendChild(Ext.create('Ext.NestedList', { id : 'testList', title: 'Groceries', displayField: 'text', store: store }).element);
Ext.get('hList').appendChild(Ext.create('Ext.NestedList', { id : 'testList', title: 'Groceries', displayField: 'text' }).element);

Such a nice kilt, very jealous! Although I love my Thamanyah skirt I'd also like to get one with more traditional pleats. When I was in Paris I went into the Givenchy store where SS was on sale 40% and they had loads of the kilts... Clearly they are more popular in London than Paris!ReplyDeleteReplies
really? I guess it shows to go people are really a lot more daring in London than anywhere else, buyers should once again reconsider their stockists-Delete
congrats on your passing of the driver's license exam! good for you. well done. Your kilt and stilts photos are amazing. How did you take those photos. Great photo shoot. Great photographer who did a fantastic photo shoot! I can't see the photographer in the mirror. how is that done? amazing. All in very interesting blog.ReplyDeleteReplies

People For the American Way Action Fund has announced an endorsement of Derek Cressman's candidacy for California Secretary of State.
"Derek Cressman has been a consistent progressive leader, standing up against big money in politics and for fairness and the people's voice," said PFAW Political Director Randy Borntrager. "He will serve the people of California well as Secretary of State."
Cressman is one of five primary candidates for Secretary of State. He served as director of the Democracy Program for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) and the state PIRG organizations, fighting for the environment, open government, and fair elections. He subsequently founded Earth Tones, an environmentally friendly communications company that donates 100 percent of its profits to environmental groups.
In 2006 Cressman began working with Common Cause on its groundbreaking voting rights and elections programs, eventually directing the organization's Citizens United information campaign. While at Common Cause, Cressman led 35 state chapters as vice president for states. During his tenure, Common Cause expanded its coordination of grassroots organizing and advocacy on money in politics across all of its local chapters, pursuing local ordinances and referenda as a strategy to draw more attention to the issue.
Derek Cressman's positions on women's health, comprehensive immigration reform, public education funding, equality for all Americans, and money in politics – among other issues – distinguish him as quality progressive candidate for California Secretary of State. His campaign website is http://www.derekcressman.com.
The anti-immigrant group Californians For Population Stabilization (CAPS) is trying to appeal to California environmentalists with an ad hooked to Earth Day.
CAPS, which has ties to the anti-immigrant network founded by white nationalist John Tanton, is the leader in the ongoing effort to recruit environmentalists to the nativist cause.
Despite the group's attempt at a green image, it has rarely hidden its anti-immigrant nativism. The group's chairwoman Marilyn Deyoung warned last year that children of immigrants allowed to stay in the country under the DREAM act would become communists and smugglers. Earlier this year, CAPS published a blog post saying immigration had turned Los Angeles "from an American city to something resembling Mexico." The group's employees include a founding member of the neo-Confederate League of the South and a contributor to the white nationalist website VDARE.
In CAPS's Earth Day ad, a little boy asks why California is "so crowded" and has "so many cars." "Let's slow immigration and save some California for tomorrow," a voiceover replies.
Brad Dacus and his Pacific Justice Institute have been leading the fight against laws designed to protect transgender students in public schools and Pastor Jack Hibbs has been very involved in the battle against just such a law in California.
Recently, Hibbs interviewed Dacus about the law and uncorked one of the strangest arguments against it that we have ever heard. Claiming that teenage boys will do whatever they can to "sneak a peek" at the girls in the school while they are in the bathroom or the locker room, Hibbs asserted that some kid will "pull a stunt" and claim to be transgender just so he can get access to the girl's locker room, which he will be allowed to due under the California law.
But after that happens, Hibbs predicted that word will spread around campus and "there's going to be young men that are going to target that kid and really, really lay it on him. It's going to make bulling worse."
"That's going to happen," he boldly declared, asking who will be held responsible when this kid has his teeth knocked out and winds up in the hospital:
PFAW's 2012 report, "Predatory Privatization: Exploiting Financial Hardship, Enriching the One Percent, Undermining Democracy," included a section titled, "The Pernicious Private Prison Industry." We reported that across the country, private prisons were often violent, poorly run facilities that put prisoners, employees and communities at risk even while failing to deliver on promised savings to taxpayers. But state legislators, encouraged by ALEC and by private prison interests' lobbying and campaign expenditures, continued to turn prisons over to private corporations, often with contract provisions that acted as incentives for mass incarceration.
A new story in Politico Magazine, "The Private Prison Racket" comes to the same conclusions. "Companies that manage prisons on our behalf have abysmal records," says author Matt Stroud. "So why do we keep giving them our business?"
The Politico story slams "bed mandates" – guarantees given by states to private companies to keep prisons full. Contracts like that build in incentives for governments to lock people up – and punish states financially when they try to reduce prison populations.
Politicians are taking notice. Last month, In the Public Interest reported that reality has turned the tide against private prisons: "Coast-to-coast, governments are realizing that outsourcing corrections to for-profit corporations is a bad deal for taxpayers, and for public safety." The dispatch cited problems with private prisons in states as diverse as Arizona, Vermont, Texas, Florida, and Idaho, where Gov. Butch Otter, a "small government" conservative, announced last month that the state would take control of the Idaho Correctional Center back from private prison giant Corrections Corporation of America due to rampant violence, understaffing, gang activity, and contract fraud.
But the huge private prison industry is not going away anytime soon. As In the Public Interest notes:
All of this momentum does not suggest the imminent death of the for-profit prison industry. Some states, including California and West Virginia, are currently gearing up to send millions more to these companies. But the past year has been a watershed moment, and we are heading in the right direction. In light of these developments, these states would be wise to look to sentencing reform to reduce populations, rather than signing reckless outsourcing contracts.
The arguments against private prisons are myriad and compelling. Promised savings end up as increased costs. Lockup quotas force taxpayers to guarantee profits for prison companies through lock up quotas hidden in contracts. They incentivize mass incarceration while discouraging sentencing reform in an era when crime rates are plummeting.
But more than anything else, the reality of the disastrous private prison experiment has turned the public against the industry.
The Senate is scheduled to vote to end filibusters and then to confirm four federal district court nominees tonight and tomorrow morning, two for the Northern District of California, one for the Eastern District of Arkansas, and one for the District of Connecticut. All four of these nominees were thoroughly vetted and approved by unanimous voice vote by the Judiciary Committee last year. They should have and could have been confirmed months ago. (In contrast, George W. Bush's confirmed district court noms only waited about a month on average between committee approval and confirmation.) However, because of Republican obstruction, all four nominees have waited months for a simple confirmation vote. And Senate Republicans are indicating that they won't stop their obstruction anytime soon. In fact, it looks like they are willing to waste weeks of time in "post-cloture debate" on these and subsequent nominees.
Judge Jeffrey Alker Meyer of Connecticut has been waiting for a confirmation since he was first approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 19. Judge James Maxwell Moody, Jr., of Arkansas has been waiting since November 14. The two nominees from Northern California, Judge James Donato and Judge Beth Labson Freeman, have both been waiting since October 31st.
This frustratingly slow process is the result of layers of delaying tactics by GOP senators. Republicans refused to hold votes on these nominees for months, and now that they are being called on their obstructionism through filibuster-ending cloture votes, they're making the votes take as long as possible by demanding that each take hours of "post-cloture debate." This is especially ridiculous for nominees whom the Republicans actually support. Not only is this delaying confirmation of judges in these particular states; it's also delaying nominees in other states waiting in line for their turn, including many for posts that have been deemed "judicial emergencies." This delaying tactic from Republicans not only slows what should be a simple process, it deprives these states' constituents the fully functioning justice system they deserve.
The anti-immigrant group Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) is warning that immigration has transformed Los Angeles "from an American city to something resembling Mexico." In an open letter to House Speaker John Boehner published on the group's blog this weekend, activist Les Blenkhorn writes, "My only surprise is that there is anyone left in Mexico."
I have little idea if these comments are even read by your staff, I hope they are. You have little idea the frustration of middle America over this issue, and their lack of a voice in regards to it. I have lived in Los Angeles long enough to see it transformed from an American city to something closer resembling Mexico. My only surprise is that there is anyone left in Mexico. The border is completely open to illegal aliens. They have been welcomed by you, the federal government, one and all.
Since I know you definitely won't read the entire novel which deserves to be written and read on this issue, I will close by saying that you the Republicans will get your comeuppance for any amnesty that may come eventually. The Republican party no longer exists in California in any viable sense, I look forward to seeing this happen to the Republican party nationwide as you are naive enough to believe illegal aliens will somehow vote Republican in thanks for your giving them amnesty. You should know they will never do this, but you still have to bend to the will of your corporate masters, even if it means your extinction. Fools.
It's unclear why CAPS posted Blenkhorn's letter; the only other mention of him we could find on CAPS' website was a 2002 newsletter mentioning him as a member. Last week, a commenter named Les Blenkhorn posted the same remarks on Speaker Boehner's House website. Comments from the same user on other articles in the past few months include, "[N]o one seems to have a problem with China being all Chinese, we are being replaced in our own country and those Americans afflicted with White Guilt are okay with it," and, "Time to end the insanity of mass third world immigration before we have a revolution, wait the revolution wouldn't be a bad idea." A 2002 article in El Universal newspaper reports that a radio producer named Les Blenkhorn offered to make a "citizens' arrest" of a young undocumented activist.
CAPS is one of the anti-immigrant groups that aims specifically to convert environmentalists to the cause. A new web ad from the group combines the environmental message with racial coding, lamenting that Los Angeles has transformed from a bucolic paradise to a "cesspool of gang-bangers, drug dealers and vagrants."
CAPS is tied to the anti-immigrant network started by white nationalist John Tanton and its main spokesman has written columns for a prominent white nationalist website.
Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver is concerned that California's ban on "ex-gay" therapy for minors is "very dangerous" because it will allow gay people to "entrap" and "groom" children into homosexuality.
Staver, who has appealed his challenge to the California law to the Supreme Court, told the American Family Association's OneNewsNow today:
Staver notes that especially in California, children are being indoctrinated in public schools that homosexuality is normal.
"And then when someone is either abused or begins to struggle with these issues, when they're bombarded with it day after day after day, they won't be able to get any help from a licensed professional Christian counselor," says Staver. "So that's why it's very dangerous."
The law allows homosexuals to "entrap" and "groom" children into the homosexual lifestyle, without providing any opportunity for help, says the Liberty Counsel attorney.
On Friday, Staver discussed the ban with Janet Mefferd. "We're talking about life and death situations here," he said, blaming LGBT rights activists for "forcing homosexuality on everyone by force of law" and claiming that the reparative therapy ban "will force people into a lifestyle of destruction."
The anti-immigrant group Californians for Population Stabilization invokes Martin Luther King, Jr. in a new ad that attempts to dishonestly pin high African-American unemployment on immigrants.
The appeal to King's memory is more than a little ironic coming from a group that is tied to white nationalist John Tanton and that just this fall hired a founding member of the new-Confederate group League of the South. CAPS spokesman Joe Guzzardi, who announced in a press release that political leaders have "lost sight of Dr. King's dream" has written dozens of blog posts for the white nationalist website VDARE .
CAPS is a leader in the anti-immigrant movement's attempts to win over environmentalists, an effort that Stephen Colbert skewered last year.
The close-knit network of anti-immigrant groups tied to Tanton has made repeated efforts to drive a wedge between African Americans and immigrants through a series of front groups.
The following is a guest post by Campbell, California Mayor Evan Low, a member of People For the American Way Foundation's Young Elected Officials Network.
In 2009, I became the youngest openly gay mayor as well as the youngest Asian-American mayor in the country. Some journalists wrote about how I was making history, but I like to point out that I was preceded by a number of other courageous "firsts."
I became mayor 35 years after Kathy Kozachenko was the first openly LGBT person elected to public office, and 32 years after Harvey Milk – affectionately known as "the mayor of Castro Street" – was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in the same state I serve today.
This week marks the anniversary of the tragic end of Milk's short time in office, when he and Mayor George Moscone were shot and killed by Supervisor Dan White. But the legacy of Harvey Milk and other LGBT trailblazers is very much alive. Today there are more than 500 openly LGBT elected or appointed officials serving our country. Through their service and that of public officials representing other marginalized communities, it is clear that our democracy works best when our lawmakers reflect the nation's diversity.
That's not to say that things are always easy for LGBT elected officials. Like Milk, I have received my share of hate mail, with messages like: "We don't want the homosexual agenda in our community." As I have told reporters before, I don't know what is on that so-called agenda, other than basic equality for all people.
One issue that's certainly on my agenda is the end of the FDA's ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men. In a petition that now has more than 62,000 supporters, I wrote:
…recently, I hosted a blood drive on city property, but was banned from donating blood myself.
As the mayor of Campbell, providing for the welfare of the general public is a top priority. As a gay man, however, I am conflicted in my advocacy for blood drives. Under current U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines, a man who has sex with another man is deferred for life from donating blood. The ban was imposed in 1983 when there were no reliable tests for screening blood for HIV/AIDS. It was also made during a time of mass medical confusion and cultural homophobia associated with HIV/AIDS. The current FDA ban is wildly outdated and perpetuates unfair labels against gay and bisexual men that live on through decades of discrimination.
These kinds of stereotypes are not unlike the ones Harvey Milk was fighting nearly four decades ago, and why he, like I do today, encouraged LGBT people to come out whenever possible – to dispel the harmful lies about our community with the truth. Stuart Milk, nephew of Harvey Milk and founder of the Harvey Milk Foundation, continues his uncle's legacy, and we are so fortunate to have Stuart carry the torch.
In a tape Milk recorded before his death, he said, "I have never considered myself a candidate. I have always considered myself part of a movement." I think he would be proud of the movement that lives on in his spirit today.
Jim Garlow has begun hosting regular webcasts seeking to mobilize pastors in California on behalf of a petition drive that is seeking to repeal a California law that will allow students in the state to use whatever bathroom and participate on whichever sports team they believe matches their gender identity.
He hosted another one this week that featured Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage and Pastor Jack Hibbs in which Hibbs warned that God would judge the Body of Christ if it fails to rise up and repeal this legislation.
"This [bill] is an affront to God," Hibbs declared. "It's an affront to California's kids and those of you who are listening from across the nation, keep this in mind: what happens in California doesn't stay in California. If this is allowed to become implemented on January first, it will eventually get to your state. But, again, this is the most aggressive, the most dangerous bit of legislation against the child and against family than any other in the history of the United States. We've never seen a government pass such an insane bill as this":
Today on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson reacted to a David Brody report on a new California law protecting transgender students by blasting the law as "insane."
"I may be an old fuddy-duddy, what is transgender?" Robertson asked co-host Wendy Griffith.
Despite Robertson's admission that he doesn't know what it means to be transgender, that didn't stop him from criticizing the law. Robertson said that while he is "not opposed" to gender reassignment surgery, "but this whole business about transgenders, you're saying they've got boy parts but they want to go to the girls' restroom, that's absurd."
Robertson said he is sticking up for "the normal people" against the "insane" LGBT rights movement:
Why are we exposed to this stuff? They are driving the agenda, driving everybody crazy, all this sexual identity, sexual politics, 'Mommy Has Two Mommies' [sic] and all that stuff, it's a tiny fringe but they seem to have control of the levers of power in the media and especially in Hollywood. But it's insane. I just cannot believe that the normal people in America, the people who want to just live their lives can't be allowed to do it without having this stuff imposed on them constantly. You've explained to me, I'm not sure we know yet.
Later in the broadcast, Robertson said: "now, we talk about transgender, I have a former stallion who is now a gelding."
Phyllis Schlafly is livid about the Los Angeles Unified School District's decision to launch a program last month to put iPads in the hands of every student in the school district. The Los Angeles Times explains that the effort is intended to "put a school district composed mostly of low-income, minority students on an even footing with more prosperous students, who have such devices at home, at school or both." The program was temporarily halted this week after enterprising students at one test school promptly figured out how to hack the iPads for personal use – but that's not what concerns Schlafly.
Instead, in her Eagle Forum radio commentary today, Schlafly frets that the "fancy electronics" might be used to educate the children of undocumented immigrants…or any student learning English as a second language:
The superintendent says his goal is to "close the technology gap" for the many low-income students in the district, but technology doesn't seem to be the central problem. Los Angeles Unified is a very depressed school district, regardless of how much technology students do or do not have. It continually has some of California's lowest test scores, and almost 1/3 of its students do not finish high school. (Throughout the rest of the state, only 13% of students don't make it to graduation.) The waste of money on fancy electronics seems even more egregious when we consider what a terrible job Los Angeles Unified currently does educating its students.
To add insult to injury, many of the students who will be receiving a taxpayer-funded iPad aren't even supposed to be in the United States. Los Angeles has one of the highest illegal alien populations in the U.S. Almost 400,000 illegal aliens live in this district. Almost a third of its students are classified as "English learners."
You may want to keep these kinds of frivolous expenses in mind next time your own school district asks for a tax increase. In the district I live in, the school board is asking for a tax increase almost every year.
Religious Right activists really don't seem to know what it means to be transgender, and we can count the California-based advocate leading the charge to repeal California's new law protecting LGBT students among them. Karen England of the Capitol Resource Institute appeared yesterday on VCY America's flagship radio program Crosstalk where she argued that the law will have a devastating impact on children and that parents should pull their kids out of public schools.
Her group, which launched a campaign to overturn the law, calls the non-discrimination provision an attempt by LGBT rights organizations "to use school children as a weapon in waging their culture war."
"This word, gender identity or gender expression, it means expressing your gender whatever you feel that day," England told VCY America host Jim Schneider. "If I feel like Christie Brinkley, the law is supposed to treat me like I'm Christie Brinkley even though I'm not. That's what they are doing."

Hi. I've recently transfered my website to a new hosting plan on Hostgator. Once I've changed the DNS and waited for 72 hours I've tried to access my WP platform : http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin. But it doesn't work anymore.
I've opened Cpanel on Hostgator - Quickinstall- WP install. In the Application URL I've typed my old format: http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin but it says that this format is already there.
My question is: How can I log in to my old wp account on my new hostgator platform? Can anybody help me?

Did some design "clean-up" and re-did my entire Share Widget concept. Rebranded it as an "Actions Widget," since the added functionality I propose wouldn't fit in the share profile. The other versions have been deleted to reduce clutter.
To re-iterate, the Actions Widget could allow you to not only post to Twitter and Facebook, but allow you to do the following (as shown)
- Send a message
- Add a calendar event
- Add a reminder
Other proposed actions could be sending an email (example), which would mean the widget could be scrollable or the tap areas could be made smaller. I'd advocate for the latter, but it all depends on handling, which I have not fully investigated yet.
Stay tuned.
Full image on my Tumblr.
This concept has been integrated into Tap to Widgets by tweakcc. Available on Cydia now.
